Chapter 941 Pre-Departure Arrangements

Su Yi wanted to learn martial arts, and Dongfang Bubai was very supportive.

His "brother Lian" would support him no matter what he did.

Su Yi had seen countless people. Although Dongfang Bubai was good at martial arts, he did not hide his inner feelings, so he could tell that this person was really giving.

Since the matter of learning martial arts was finalized, Su Yi did not mention these things again.

The two leaned against each other and chatted for a while, and Dongfang Bubai was very interested in directing Green Ant and Red Mud to prepare for the trip to Jiangnan.

From Heimu Cliff to Qiantang in Jiangnan where Ren Woxing was imprisoned, the journey was more than 2,000 miles, or more than 1,000 kilometers. In this era without airplanes and trains, the fastest means of transportation was horses.

Riding a horse was fast, and if you traveled normally, you could reach your destination within ten days.

But riding a horse was too tiring, and it was definitely not as cool as you see in the movies.

In fact, riding a horse is not only about sleeping in the open air, but also about being exposed to the sun and wind, and the dust is heavy. Basically, after riding a horse for a few hours, you will be covered in sweat and dust, just like a worker who has just moved bricks from the construction site.

Su Yi must be anxious and wish to learn the "Star Absorbing Art" as soon as possible.

But Dongfang Bubai is such a master, she will definitely not be happy if you ask her to brag about it and travel dirty.

If Su Yi insists on traveling, Dongfang Bubai will listen to Su Yi, but if you travel by carriage, it will only take five or six more days to reach the destination with four carriages.

Riding a carriage is definitely much more comfortable than riding a horse, and Su Yi can still wait for five or six more days, so there is no need to be too anxious.

Since it is a secret trip, it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, so Su Yi decided to bring only one elder to accompany him along the way to take care of the affairs in addition to the groom and porter.

In addition to arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way, this elder is also responsible for security and solving various troubles. Having such a role can make people worry less.

Thinking of this, Su Yi left the embroidery building and came to Chengde Hall again, asking his subordinates to summon the elders and hall masters to discuss matters.

While waiting for others, Su Yi quickly reviewed the information and background of these high-level Sun Moon Sect members.

The Sun Moon Sect has four halls, namely Qinglong Hall, Baihu Hall, Zhuque Hall and Fenglei Hall.

But there are only three hall masters. The original Zhuque Hall master was killed by Fenglei Hall master Tong Baixiong because he opposed Dongfang Bubai, and Tong Baixiong has always been the part-time hall master.

However, some time ago, Yang Lianting snatched Zhuque Hall back from Tong Baixiong and gave it to his trusted subordinate, Qinglong Hall master Jia Bu, to manage on behalf of him.

Tong Baixiong is considered as Dongfang Bubai's "follower". He has a long history and a high seniority. He has always been disgusted with Yang Lianting, who has no ability but is in a high position. He is considered as Yang Lianting's "political enemy".

Tong Baixiong is very dissatisfied with the infringement of his interests, and has been complaining. He has been threatening to report Yang Lianting to Dongfang Bubai.

Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that Dongfang Bubai has no interest in the power of the Sun and Moon Sect now. He has become indifferent to power, fame and wealth, and is immersed in the joy of martial arts and Yang Lianting's long-term companionship. He doesn't care about anything else.

He doesn't care about the struggle for power and profit in the Sun and Moon Sect. He just follows Yang Lianting. As long as Yang Lianting is happy, nothing matters.

In addition to Tong Baixiong, the head of the Wind and Thunder Hall, the other two heads are Jia Bu, the head of the Azure Dragon Hall, and Shangguan Yun, the head of the White Tiger Hall.

Jia Bu is Yang Lianting's confidant, so he was entrusted with important tasks. The Azure Dragon Hall he manages is also the top hall.

As for Shangguan Yun, he is a neutral character, loyal to the Holy Church, smiling on his face, calling him "old brother", but no one knows what he thinks in his heart.

However, in the original plot, this person later became Ren Woxing's guide and participated in the operation to besiege Dongfang Bubai, which shows that his mind is probably hard to understand.

In addition to the three hall masters, there are ten elders who are also high-level members of the Sun and Moon Divine Church, namely - Bao Dachu, Qin Weibang, Wang Cheng, Sang Sanniang, Wen Xinlong, Qiu Yidao, Ge Changqing, Du Fei, Mo Qingning and Qu Yang.

Among the ten elders, Qu Yang is a free and easy person who does not care about the affairs of the gang and has no real job rights. His whereabouts are erratic all year round, which is considered a special existence.

Among the other nine elders, Qin Weibang and Mo Qingning are in charge of the library, Qiu Yidao is in charge of the military pavilion, and the remaining six people have positions similar to "general altar envoys, world walkers" and other positions, supervising the various halls and altars in the church.

The ten elders had no good feelings towards Yang Lianting, the chief steward, but generally speaking, they still maintained a superficial peace.

Except for Qiu Yidao.

This person was cold and aloof, always staying at the main gate of Chenbing Pavilion and never going out, and never giving face to anyone.

In fact, in addition to the elders and the hall master, there was another special existence - Xiang Wentian, the left envoy of light.

This person had a very high status in the sect. After all, in the era of Ren Woxing, he and Dongfang Bubai were the left envoy and the right envoy, respectively, and they were on equal footing.

After Dongfang Bubai came to power, in order to consolidate his power, he deliberately won over Xiang Wentian and gave him great power.

In the years before Yang Lianting came to power, Dongfang Bubai was so focused on practicing that he didn't care about the affairs of the sect. Almost all the rights of the Sun and Moon Sect were handed over to Xiang Wentian. He was in charge of the affairs of the sect as the left envoy, which could be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

The power of Yang Lianting, the chief steward, originally belonged to Xiang Wentian.

But later Dongfang Bubai supported Yang Lianting to ascend to the throne and made him the general manager. Xiang Wentian's position as the left envoy became awkward. He who could not rise up or down was completely suppressed.

The people below reported things to him, and he had to report things to Yang Lianting. He became a mouthpiece and had no rights.

So Xiang Wentian decisively left Heimu Cliff and became a wandering wild crane.

This person later portrayed himself as a character who was loyal to Ren Woxing, which was really ridiculous.

Ren Woxing has been imprisoned for twelve years. If you were loyal, why would you have left?

His motive for rescuing Ren Woxing was by no means as righteous as he said.

He, who claims to be a righteous and righteous man, is actually as loyal as a traitor.

When all the people who were supposed to come arrived, his subordinates reported to Su Yi. Elder Qiu said that he was responsible for guarding the treasury and could not come.

He has made it clear that he has an attitude of "I'll just keep an eye on my arsenal as long as you mess around with me."

"The Sun and Moon God Sect is invincible in all battles. The leader of the Eastern Cult has cultivated martial virtues and will dominate the world for thousands of years!"

After everyone gathered together, they first chanted slogans to express their admiration and loyalty to Dongfang Bubai.

Su Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

This set of flattery was created by Yang Lianting. He just asked the people below to shout. He also asked the hall master and elders to shout too. If they didn't shout, he would give others a thumbs down.

Brainwashing is only done for the bottom class. Who have you seen brainwashing even the top brass?

Who at the top is not a person with a clear mind? Are you brainwashing others?

After doing such a hateful thing, it's no wonder that everyone doesn't have a good impression of Yang Lianting.

Originally, Holy Aunt Ren Yingying had always lived on Heimuya, but after Yang Lianting came up with this set of things, she moved away, presumably for this reason.

However, Su Yi has no intention of telling them to stop shouting slogans. He is now telling these elders, "You don't need to shout slogans in the future." This will not get any gratitude or goodwill. It will only make them think that you, Yang Lianting, are a psychopath. Come to think of it. It's one out.

With a slight cough, Su Yi looked around and said straight to the point: "Everyone, the reason why we have called you together today is because the leader and I have important matters and have to leave Heimuya for a while. But the leader cannot be without a leader for a day, so after we leave During these days, you all need to work together to take charge of academic affairs.”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this and looked at each other.

This happened suddenly and unexpectedly.

After the hall was quiet for a moment, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, Shangguan Yun, hesitated and asked: "General Manager, you just said that the leader of the church will also leave Heimuya?"

How long has it been since Dongfang Bubai left Blackwood Cliff?

At least ten years!

He hid in his small building every day doing embroidery and practicing martial arts. Even his subordinates couldn't see him and he never went out at all.

But now, Su Yi told them that the leader was going out and they still had to leave Heimu Cliff.

This amount of exercise is too much.

How can people not be surprised when someone who hasn't left home for ten years suddenly wants to travel far away?

"That's right." Facing everyone's disbelieving looks, Su Yi nodded and confirmed, "The leader and I are traveling this time for private matters. This matter is only known to everyone present and must not be made public."

"We will obey the Holy Order of the Cult Master!" Everyone said in unison, cupping their fists.

Shangguan Yun then asked again: "May I ask the chief manager, where are the leader and you going?"

"Elder Shangguan is so concerned about the whereabouts of the leader and me, so I will let you accompany me this time." Su Yi said lightly, "The leader travels far away, and he needs a capable person to arrange everything for him. Elder Shangguan has always been diligent and decent in his work, and I want to come here. Everything can be arranged as soon as possible.”

Shangguan Yun's expression changed slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with great joy: "Being able to serve the leader and his old man is a blessing of a humble position! Thank you to the chief manager for your cultivation!"

Su Yi nodded and smiled.

Letting Shangguan Yun accompany him was not Su Yi's impromptu idea, but something he had already thought about. This person is a talented person who knows current affairs. It is a good thing for him to see more of Dongfang Bubai's power.

Moreover, this person is indeed thoughtful and decent in his work, and he is very perceptive. With him accompanying you, you can save a lot of worry along the way.

"Manager Yang!" At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard stood up with a cold snort, "Master Dongfang is the leader of our Holy Religion, and his safety is closely related. How can he move around at will due to private matters? You know that there are various sects in the world. They all regard our holy religion as a thorn in their side. Once they learn that the Eastern leader is traveling, they will not miss the opportunity to weaken our holy religion. If the Eastern leader makes a mistake, can you bear the responsibility? "

This old man is Tong Baixiong, the master of Fenglei Hall.

As soon as Tong Baixiong stood up and spoke, three elders immediately responded.

"Yes, Chief Manager, this matter must be done with great caution. Traveling for the leader is no small matter. This matter must be carefully considered and cannot be careless." Wen Xinlong said with a smile.

"General Manager, what is the reason for the leader's trip? Where is he going? You have to tell us this so that we can make arrangements in advance." Ge Changqing said.

"Yes, speaking of which, we haven't seen the leader for many years. Chief Manager, would you like to let us listen to the leader's teachings in person first, and then talk about travel?" Du Fei said.

The elders have different expressions and thoughts.

Su Yi could probably guess what these people were thinking, but he was too lazy to think about it carefully. He frowned slightly and raised his voice: "Everyone! There is no need to discuss the leader's trip. The leader has already decided on this matter. I am just informing everyone! As for Where you are going and what you are doing have nothing to do with academic affairs!”

After a pause, Su Yi looked at Tong Baixiong, who frowned, and said, "Master Tong, you don't have to worry about the safety of the leader. Not to mention that this trip is a secret trip, even if the leader's whereabouts are known by the enemy, so what? With the leader's martial arts, who in the world can stop him?"

"It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Those so-called decent people have never been loyal to the code of conduct in the martial arts world. They do everything from sneak attacks to sieges. They are numerous and powerful, and it's difficult to grasp their whereabouts. Do you want the leader to be on guard all the time?" Tong Baixiong's voice was already angry, "If only the leader returns, it's fine, but you, the chief steward, are powerless. What if the enemy catches you and threatens the leader?"

This was said bluntly, almost clearly saying that Su Yi was a burden.

After this, everyone was silent.

"Bold Tong Baixiong! How dare you disrespect the chief steward!" Jia Bu shouted angrily.

"Hmph! I'm just stating a fact!" Tong Baixiong said with a wave of his sleeves, "Besides, this is also for the safety of General Manager Yang, how can it be disrespectful?"

"You..."

Jia Bu wanted to argue, but Su Yi stopped him.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Tong, but if the enemy really wants to kill me, that would be great." Su Yi said indifferently, "I will let the master kill me and the enemy together. At that time, the Holy Church will get rid of a despicable and shameless enemy, and Master Tong will get rid of me, a thorn in your side, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Tong Baixiong was stunned by these words, and then he waved his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Don't judge a gentleman by your own mean heart. Although I, Tong Baixiong, don't like you, I don't want you to die at the hands of outsiders!"

"Bold..." Jia Bu was furious again after hearing this, and wanted to scold Tong Baixiong, but was interrupted by Su Yi again.

"After the master and I leave, Master Jia will temporarily be responsible for all matters in the church." Su Yi said.

This arrangement was not surprising to everyone, because Jia Bu was Yang Lianting's trusted lackey, and he was also the head of the Qinglong and Zhuque halls, and he was extremely powerful.

But Su Yi's next arrangement surprised everyone.

Su Yi took out a black token, walked to Tong Baixiong, handed it to him and said, "As the saying goes, strong winds reveal strong grass, and turbulent times reveal loyal ministers! The absence of the leader and I at Heimu Cliff will inevitably cause turmoil in the church. Tong, you are now appointed as the Supervisor of the Holy Church to supervise the entire church! If you encounter disloyal people, no matter how high or low their positions are, you can take this black wooden token and, if the leader comes in person, you can take them down on the spot, or even kill them first and report later!"

These words not only stunned Tong Baixiong, but also stunned everyone present!
