She needed someone to build momentum for her immediately and open up the situation.

If we let the people from Cihang Temple do it, not to mention that they would brag about it, it would be easy for them to be discovered and lose their style.

Even if they don't consider the long term, the Kun Daoists in Cihang Temple don't have the ability to do so.

They were just ordinary people, all women, and they didn't even know which way the doors of the wealthy families opened, let alone prying into the private affairs of the masters inside and coming into contact with people who could influence their thoughts.

At present, the only person who has the ability and connections to help her accomplish this task is Captain Li.

Therefore, when she decided to overthrow Ci'an and take control of Cihang Temple herself, she had already thought of this step of driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger.

With the promise of promotion and wealth hanging in the balance, she was not afraid that Captain Li would not be dedicated.

Captain Li had no idea what Chen Qingzhu was thinking, he just felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

I immediately became excited and wanted to go down the mountain right away to get the job done.

But he was not completely stupid. He turned back after taking a few steps and looked at Chen Qingzhu with suspicion:

"According to your method, I will completely hide from this matter. Then, whether to seek promotion for me in those powerful positions will be in your hands. How can you guarantee that you will do your best to work for me after you become famous?"

Sure enough, when it comes to their own interests, few people are truly stupid.

Captain Li quickly grasped the key point of the matter.

Chen Qingzhu was not nervous at all. Instead of answering, he asked:

"Captain Li, do you know who I am?"

Captain Li was stunned:

"What does this have to do with the question I asked?"

Chen Qingzhu said:

"My secular identity is the concubine of Jingnan Marquis Pei Xiao. If you don't want to, it would be more convenient for me to find Pei Xiao. It's just that he sent me to Jingci Temple, and I was angry and didn't want to help him. Otherwise, after being enlightened by Master Cihang, I would never have stayed in Cihang Temple until you, Captain Li, came to me."

"As long as you work hard for me, I will make sure you get a higher rank than Pei Xiao. That way, he will regret it, right?"

In other words, Li Qianhu had no bargaining power at all. She had other choices, but Li Qianhu did not.

Upon hearing this, Captain Li fell into deep thought.

Women are like this, with long hair and short vision, and they only care about trivial matters. Once they have been treated badly, once they are in power, they only want to make men regret it.

It makes perfect sense that this woman wanted to support him to take the throne to irritate Marquis Jingnan. So, as long as he doesn't annoy her, she shouldn't burn the bridge after crossing it.

But if she is not satisfied, she will probably turn around and seek cooperation with Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao's status in Nandu City is much higher than his. If Pei Xiao wanted to, he could even deny his brother-in-law's face.

By then, he won't be able to get any of the benefits this woman can bring.

No, he had to stabilize her first before considering how to control her.

Thinking of this, Captain Li immediately smiled:

"I was overthinking and shouldn't have doubted the envoy of God. In this case, I will go to the city to get information immediately. I hope the envoy of God will not forget to help me after the task is accomplished."

He also followed Chen Qingzhu's previous words and promised: "If I ever ascend to a high position, I will definitely avenge the harsh treatment of Jingnan Marquis on behalf of the divine messenger!"

Hearing these words, we can tell that Captain Li is also a cunning person who is well versed in the art of making empty promises.

But Chen Qingzhu didn't care. At this time when she was not yet famous, she needed such a cunning wolf to help her open up the situation.

If he was too honest, she would worry that he would not be able to do his job well.

"Qianhu is a smart man. It seems that our cooperation will be very pleasant." She pretended to praise.

Li Qianhu felt relieved when she expressed her opinion, but he still felt it was not enough. After thinking for a while, he said:

"All men have a utilitarian heart. If Marquis Jingnan learns of your magical powers, he will certainly force you back to his mansion. By then, whether you are willing or not, I am afraid you will become a tool for him to get promoted and make money. The divine envoy must tell his men to keep it a secret and not let Marquis Jingnan know about you."
