Taiping Inn

Xu Zaiyuan sat in the eight-piece sedan chair and headed to the Governor's Office.

After arriving at the Governor's Office, Xu Zaiyuan walked through the hall and came to the study. Not long after, a scholar came to the study and asked softly, "Midang, did he accept it?"

This literati is Shi Zongxi, who had fought with Li Feiyan on the top of the city.

Xu Zaiyuan slammed his hand, signaled Mr. Shi to sit down, and then said, "I've accepted it."

Shi Zongxi nodded and asked again, "What is this Mr. Li's attitude?"

Xu Zaiyuan leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his hands and fingers, and said after pondering for a moment: "I thought he was a gangster who was banning the ban on force, but I didn't expect that he was a very cunning person. I couldn't see through this person anymore. .”

Speaking of this, Xu Zaiyuan paused slightly, his face was a little gloomy, and after suppressing the slight annoyance in his heart, he said, "According to our expectations, he will not accept it, and he may even refuse to see me, but I will never be able to do so. Unexpectedly, he not only saw me, but also accepted the gift."

Shi Zongxi said lightly: "If Mr. Li is harsh to the tribe and reiterates the matter of the imperial capital back then, it is not scary, it means that he is just for revenge, but he is just a brainless and reckless man, and he is not worth worrying about. But now he has put it I let go of the hatred of the past, which is very terrible. Budang, do you think there is something in this world that can make a martial artist in the martial arts world put down the word "gratitude and grudge"? "

"When we meet, we smile to eliminate our grudges." Xu Zaiyuan said, "The brother of Emperor Taizu died at the hands of the former Jin general Ren Chao. Later, Ren Chao surrendered and confessed his guilt to Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu said, "Don't take the old news." Let me mention it again, I just hope that the general can do his best for the people of the world. 'Ren Chao was so grateful that he died in the Northern Expedition to save Emperor Taizu. What can make Emperor Taizu let go of his grudges is his great ambition to fight for the world. Could this be this one Mr. Li also has such ambitions?”

"It already exists." Shi Zongxi said: "As far as I know, the reason why Mr. Li expelled Mr. Li from Qingweizong was because Mr. Li took the initiative to make suggestions to Mr. Li. This is very interesting. Twenty. As a master and apprentice in Nian, does Mr. Li not know what kind of temperament Mr. Li has, but he still wants to make suggestions, indicating that he has the idea of ​​leaving Qingwei Sect. Sure enough, less than half a year after leaving Qingwei Sect Isn’t it just a coincidence that Mr. Li, with the support of the great master Zhang Jingxiu, became the sect leader of Taiping Sect?”

Xu Zaiyuan looked solemn: "If all these were within his expectations, then this person would be too terrifying."

Shi Zongxi said slowly and quietly, "In the second year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu almost died in the imperial capital, but was rescued by Zhang Haishi. In the third year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu traveled north to Jianxiu Mountain in Zhongzhou and visited the earth master Xu Wu. Ghost, then returned to Qingwei Sect, abandoned all his cultivation and began to lie dormant. In the fourth year of Tianbao and the fifth year of Tianbao, Li Xuan had no movement. In the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Xuan left Qingwei Sect at the invitation of Zhang Luanshan , heading to Huainan Prefecture, Luzhou, in name only to save Zhou Tingchao's orphans, but in fact, he took this opportunity to secretly meet with Shen Wuyou, the sect leader of Taiping Sect, and Yu Qingning, the future sect leader of Xuannv Sect. In the second half of the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu set out from Huainan Prefecture, Luzhou, and headed to Longmen Prefecture, Zhongzhou. He secretly met with the palace officials of the Pinnus Clan in Ping'an County, secretly met with Yan Feiqing, Zhengyi Clan in Jiangling Prefecture, Jingzhou, and met Su Yun from Cihang's Clan in Longmen Prefecture, Zhongzhou. My mother, I met Wuzhen of the Vajra Sect in Beimang County. In addition, he also visited the Earth Master for the third time, and participated in the change of Master Tianle Sect, and even injured his junior sister Lu Yanbing. "

徐载元起身取过一副地图，摊开书案桌上，仔细看了李玄都的行程，喃喃道：“这一路走来，竟是见了如此多的人，未免太过巧合。”

“不是巧合。”恐怕李玄都绝对想不到施宗曦会如此高看自己，只听这位万象学宫的第四位大祭酒说道：“是有意为之。”

Xu Zaiyuan said, "How do you say this?"

施宗曦道：“李玄都见的都是什么人？除去邪道中人不谈，分别是太平宗的沈无忧夫妇、玄女宗的玉清宁、正一宗的颜飞卿、慈航宗的苏Yun Ye and Vajra Sect Wuzhen, except for Taiping Sect, are all hostile to Qingwei Sect. He is a member of Qingwei Sect, but he secretly contacts key figures of the hostile sect. Why is it self-evident Therefore, it is reasonable that Li Xuan left Qingwei Sect and quickly received support from the great master. In other words, it should not be said that Li Xuan was expelled from the master, it is obvious that He took the initiative to betray the Qingwei Sect."

Xu Zaiyuan said: "In other words, since the failure of Tianbao's second year, Li Xuandu had the idea of ​​leaving Qingwei Sect, and planned for many years, and finally put it into practice in the sixth year of Tianbao."

"That's right." Shi Zongxi nodded and said, "It can be seen from the sight of the leopard. Li Xuan can endure it for several years. It's not that he has a good temper, but that he has great ambitions, so he doesn't care about the temporary struggle for intention."

Xu Zaiyuan whispered: "I underestimated him."

Shi Zongxi sighed and said, "This man is very scheming. Even if he secretly surrenders to the great master Zhang Jingxiu, he is not willing to be Zhang Jingxiu's puppet, so he began to seek a way to break the deadlock."

Xu Zaiyuan immediately said, "It's Qin Su."

Shi Zongxi sneered, as if he was a little disdainful, and said, "That's right. Qin Su is Qin Qing's only daughter. Whoever can marry Qin Su is the son-in-law of the Qin family, or even the future head of the Qin family. Looking around the world, There are very few men who can match Qin Su's age and are of the same age. Unfortunately, Mr. Li is one of them. I don't know what methods he used to make Miss Qin devote himself to him. The Miss Zhang back then had a long time ago, and the tea was cold when she left. "

Xu Zaiyuan was a little surprised why Mr. Shi suddenly spoke for Miss Zhang. In his opinion, Li Xuandu's approach was understandable. If he was in Li Xuandu's position, he would choose Miss Qin instead of defending himself. A dead person. However, he did not think too much, but just thought it was a literati who was sour and pretentious.

Shi Zongxi continued, "Li Xuandu is like a person who is very scheming, just like a top chess player who takes one step and thinks of three steps. So when he goes to Liaodong this time, it is definitely not as simple as setting up a marriage with Miss Qin. He is also Have greater pursuits.”

Xu Zaiyuan was startled: "Liaodong Iron Cavalry!"

施宗曦道：“辽东豪强早已是虎视眈眈，李玄都又有大志，两者见面必然是一拍即合，接下来的事情便可想而知，定是李玄都竭力说服以赵政、秦清为首的一众辽东豪强，南下入关。不要小看李玄都，他在清微宗经营多年，又有大天师的支持，更与西北的地师有所来往，让他做一条真龙很难， But it is not difficult to support the dragon. By then, the first one to be affected was the ministry. After the ministry, there was the nameless governor of Zhili, and then the imperial capital. As for the banner, it was very simple. Now the imperial court is the queen mother With the King of Jin, and the "Hen Sui Chen" is a sign of the country's destruction. There are many dissatisfaction among the Shilins. If Zhao Zheng puts forward the banner of "Salvation of the King and Preservation of the Emperor" or "Clearing the Emperor's side", then where will the people's hearts stand It's hard to say."

Xu Zaiyuan's face turned gloomy, and his eyes showed a little indescribable fear: "If so...if this is true, the court will be in danger."

Shi Zongxi said slowly: "Fortunately, there is the Golden Horde. Now that the Golden Horde is heading south, Zhao Zheng has to send heavy troops to garrison the border, and is unable to raise troops to move south. At the earliest, the war will end after the beginning of winter and the spring of the next year will begin. This is If we miss the opportunity, we may have a lifelong regret."

Xu Zaiyuan said solemnly: "Sir, please speak."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Zongxi slowly said, "The first point is that Li Xuandu cannot arrive in Liaodong. This is difficult and cannot be stopped. But we can think of a way to make Li Xuandu and the powerful Liaodong. The alliance broke down and fell into a situation of mutual suspicion and even turning against each other into enemies. In this way, it would be irrelevant whether Li Xuan even went to Liaodong. "

Xu Zaiyuan is not a stupid person, but he already has a vague idea: "The key to Li Xuandu's alliance with the powerful Liaodong is Miss Qin, which is also the link between the two to grab grain. If Miss Qin has any accidents, Then Li Xuandu’s short-term painstaking management has become a huge joke!”
