Taiping Inn

"There are five major families in Xicheng, which can be regarded as the temporary masters of Loulan City."

Although Li Xuan has warned Mrs. Yan not to be clever, as Mrs. Yan, who has been a child in Loulan City, obviously did not surrender so easily. She still made a small decision and planned to delay time as much as possible. If she was questioned, she would There are also responses, and you asked me to say more details, the better, so I will act according to my will.

When saying this, Mrs. Yan secretly glanced at Li Xuandu, but unfortunately she could not see any clues from the handsome face that belonged to Huangfu Yuxiu. She regarded this calm as acquiescence, so she continued, "The reason for saying this is that the position of these five families has not remained unchanged for a long time, there are always new people who have changed into old people. The five families today are the Xiao family and the Ai family. , Yue Family, Duan Family, Helian Family. Because of the convenient name, the five major families have simplified the surnames of the Central Plains. In fact, only the Xiao Family and Duan Family are purely from the Central Plains, and the Ai Family is a place in the west. The Semu Hu people, whose surname is very long, I can't remember it. The word "Ai" is taken from the first pronunciation of their family's name. Yue family is a grassland native, originally from the Jinzantmu royal family Yue Zhibehan On the side branch, the Helian family was a powerful nobleman in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. "

"Duan Family?" Li Xuandu glanced at the palace official.

The palace official understood the spirit, nodded slightly, and said in a voice transmission: "The Zuo Venerable is named Duan."

Li Xuandu knew in his heart that the Duan family was the stronghold set up by Wudao Sect in Loulan City. In this way, apart from the suspicion of the two Central Plains families, the Xiao family and the Duan family, there are still three families left. The Ai family must be related to the Yin-Yang Sect, but it may not be the stronghold of the Yin-Yang Sect in Loulan City. It is not ruled out that the Yin-Yang Sect is hiding in Loulan City as a guest. As for the other two families, Li Xuan had never heard of the Helian family and was not familiar with the nobles of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. However, the Yue family reminded Li Xuan of the parting of Yue in the golden tent of the grassland. Now Yue Jibei Khan is the camp of Xiao Yan and Yili Khan, so the Yue family should be an ally with the Xiao family. If this assumption is true, then the Ai family, which is hostile to the Xiao family, will have an ally on the surface, so that a situation of equal power will be formed. If this ally is not the Duan family, it is unlikely that it is the Duan family, then it is Helian Home.

But there is one thing that Li Xuan hasn't figured out yet. Why did Xiao Han think that the other four families in Xicheng conspire to kill him when he was attacked? In other words, why did Xiao Han think that his ally Yue family also betrayed him? Could it be that there was a conflict between Xiao Yan and Yili Khan? Then the faint hostility between the upper-level figures affected the people below again? Li Xuan didn't dare to draw a conclusion, but this matter could be put aside for the time being, and it was not an important issue.

With a certainty in Li Xuandu’s mind, he can judge the truth or falsehood of what Mrs. Yan said. At the same time, it also strengthened the idea that Li Xuan would take two steps from the Xiao family. No matter what the reason, the palace officials would reserve. If Li Xuan didn't ask, she would not say it, because the two of them were their own masters. Li Xuan would not blame her, nor could he be indifferent, but he would not be indifferent.

Mrs. Yan continued: "Dongcheng and Xicheng are both Loulan City. Dongcheng and Xicheng seem to be clearly distinguished on the surface, but in fact they are closely connected. A little movement in Xicheng will affect Dongcheng. Therefore, many forces in Dongcheng must be in Xicheng. Looking for a backer, my backer is the Helian family.”

This answer coincides with Li Xuandu's guess, and Li Xuandu asked again: "What is the relationship between the Helian family and the Ai family?"

Mrs. Yan glanced at Li Xuandu in surprise. In her judgment, Qianglong should not know much about the situation in Loulan City, otherwise there was no need to ask her, but now it seems that there is a slight deviation in her judgment. Or, this handsome uninvited guest is not ignorant of Loulan City, but wants to verify something. After all, Mrs. Yan is a powerful figure in Dongcheng. It is only ordinary to use lynching in the lawless Dongcheng. She once questioned some people, and the reason was very simple. We must ask separately to prevent collusion and then give a statement to judge whether it is Tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yan's heart became tight and she became really scared. I was not afraid just now because she felt that the person who came was ignorant and fearless. As long as she reported her backer, even if the person who came was a great master of the Heavenly Realm would be a little afraid, then even if she was in danger, she could rely on it. Your lips and tongue will be safe. But when she understood that when she could not save her, her confidence was gone, and she became afraid.

Mrs. Yan replied honestly: "The two families are allies, and they are loyal to Badu Khan. They are hostile to the Xiao family who is loyal to Yili Khan and the Yue family who is loyal to Yuejibe Khan. The Duan family adheres to neutrality and does not help each other. In fact, the Duan family has always been the role of an intermediary and is a peacemaker."

Li Xuandu looked at the palace official, and the palace official smiled slightly and said in a voice transmission: "The Helian family is not a puppet of the Yin-Yang Sect, but there are people from the Yin-Yang Sect in the Helian family. Zifu can try to find Yin-Yang through this Mrs. Yan. People from the sect. Last time I also found the big fish Zhong Wu through some small people. Unfortunately, I was weak and weak, so I couldn’t catch the big fish, so I was almost dragged into the water.”

Of course, Li Xuandu's purpose was not to catch a big fish, otherwise he could attack Li Shixing when he was outside Loulan City. The key was to figure out what the Yin-Yang Sect was going to do. He may gain something when he captures Li Shixing directly, and he doesn't even have to go to Loulan City, but he may also gain nothing, because Li Xuan is not sure whether Li Shixing has come into contact with the core secrets of the Earth Master, so after thinking about it over and over again, he decided to decide Let Li Shixing go and walk to Loulan City in person. But one thing is certain. No matter how powerful the Earth Master is, many things are not something he can do alone, and someone must be involved. In Li Xuandu's view, the possibility of the Ming Dynasty official Wang Tianxiao and the Jiuming official Shangguan Wan is that the Ming Dynasty official may be Wang Tianxiao and the Jiuming official Shangguan Wan. maximum. Wang Tianxiao needs no need to say much. The real power of the Yin-Yang Sect is the right-hand man of the Earth Master and Mrs. Leng, who controls the Pin Nu Sect. He is also personally responsible for the affairs of the Tang family, so there is no reason why he doesn't know about the Baidi Mausoleum. As for Shangguan Wan, after Zhao Chunxiao died, she became the only successor of the Earth Master. The Earth Master also valued her very much. You can see that the Earth Master gave Li Xuandu's cultivation to Shangguan Wan. Therefore, among the other Ming officials, Shangguan Wan's status was very special.

If Shangguan Wan appeared outside Loulan City, Li Xuan would have taken action.

Li Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know what happened outside the city today?"

"I don't know!" Mrs. Yan was shocked.

Li Xuan laughed, "I haven't said what it is, but you just said you don't know? It seems you know."

A look of panic appeared on Mrs. Yan's face.

Li Xuandu asked directly: "Who were the two masters who appeared when the Ai family attacked the Xiao family?"

Mrs. Yan calmed down and said, "One of them seemed to be a shaman from the grassland. The Xiao family was originally from Yili Khan, and it is reasonable that they had any connection with the shamanism. As for the other one, it is the Ai family. The new offering seems to be from Central China, and as for other situations, it is not something I can know."

Li Xuandu said: You don’t know the details of a shaman coming from the Great Snow Mountain in the Grassland, which is reasonable. But if you say you don’t know the details of the new offering of the Ai family, it’s a bit unreasonable. If you have a foothold in Dongcheng but don’t know the movements of Xicheng, aren’t you afraid of offending people inadvertently? ”

Mrs. Yan was so sad that she began to shout for justice, "Your Excellency, we Dongcheng people should pay attention to the news about Xicheng, but we don't know everything. If we know everything, the five major families in Xicheng will not be able to keep their positions. It's time to change to that position we'll take."

Li Xuandu refused to comment on this statement and asked, "Who is your 'relationship' in Helian's family?"

Mrs. Yan hesitated and said, "It's... Helian Feihua, she is the sister of Helian Feiying, the head of the Helian family."

Li Xuandu said, "More details."

Since Mrs. Yan had already spoken, she no longer cared about anything and said, "The head of the Helian family has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is Helian Feiying, the current head of the Helian family. It is said that Ba Duhan appreciates it very much. If Badu Khan can become the new Khan king, then the Helian family can become the city lord of Loulan City and become a real big shot. The second daughter is my backer Helian Feihua, very skilled, and Helian Feiying's Right-handed, helping him deal with the affairs in the family. As for his third son, his name is Helian Feiya, he is a weirdo. He is not interested in the family's business and power, nor is he interested in the prosperity of Loulan City. He likes to practice martial arts, but unfortunately he is Helian Feiying hired many teachers for him, but he didn't know much. I heard that because of this, he left the Western Regions when he was fifteen years old and went to the Central Plains. He did not return to the Western Regions until last year. , I don’t know what kind of gods he met, but he actually obtained a good cultivation level and lost many masters in the city. "

Li Xuandu's heart moved. The palace official just said that the Helian family is not a puppet of the Yin-Yang Sect, but there are people from the Yin-Yang Sect in the Helian family. Is it the Helian Fei Crow who disappeared for a while and reappeared?

Li Xuandu's face remained silent and said, "Madam Yan, what happened today..."

Before Li Xuan could finish his words, Mrs. Yan said repeatedly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely not reveal a word!"

"I can't believe in your promise, I can trust threats even more." Li Xuandu slapped his hand and penetrated a "three-point sword" into Mrs. Yan's body. Just a little thought made Mrs. Yan roll and twitch in the carriage in pain. And there were wet marks on her lower skirt. .

Li Xuandu whispered, "If you dare to reveal it, the pain you have to endure will be ten times more."

Mrs. Yan, who had a ferocious face, couldn't speak at all, just waved her arms randomly, trying to grab something.

When the pain faded like a tide, Mrs. Yan got up in disarray, she found that the two uninvited guests had disappeared, and the carriage was still driving smoothly. Everything just now seemed like a dream, but the urine coming from her lower body was Remind her that this is not a dream.
