Taiping Inn

When Old Man Long came here, Li Xuan naturally felt it and knew that Old Man Long was on the building boat.

Although Old Man Long was the murderer of Situ Xuance, Li Xuan did not want to fight Old Man Long at this time. In the words of Confucianism, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Besides, there is Zhang Baizhou next to Li Xuandu and Emperor Long next to him. It is also in the imperial capital, so it is not a good time to fight.

Li Xuan waited for a while, and saw that Old Man Long and Emperor Tianbao had no intention of meeting each other, so he stopped waiting and prepared to leave.

Whether it is a group of pseudo-immortals or people from the Confucian sect, they naturally dare not block Li Xuandu's path.

Shangguan Guanzhangruo glanced at Yang Tianfeng inadvertently. Yang Tianfeng immediately understood the meaning of this female devil and lowered his head.

Shangguan Wan withdrew her gaze and looked at the fake immortal Chen Mian in the lead.

This person has some skills, not only has extremely high cultivation, but also comparable to Bai Xiushang and others, but also proficient in "End of Diseases". I think he was also an extremely powerful character before entering "Xuandu Zifu". The name he used may not be necessary now. It's the real name.

There is also the Nalan Xu, although she is weaker than Chen Mian, but she is just as difficult as herself. I don’t know if there are any more powerful characters in the Pseudo-Immortals. If there are, it will be a problem.

Before he knew it, Shangguan Wan had naturally changed his position and looked at the situation from Li Xuandu's side.

Li Xuandu walked out, and everyone retreated and separated the road.

Li Xuandu asked, "Have my residence been arranged?"

Lu Yanbing immediately said, "I have arranged it according to my senior brother's instructions, and I am in the Qizhou Guild Hall. On the one hand, it shows that my senior brother does not forget his hometown friendship. Even if he becomes 'Li Huainan', he still remembers our Qizhou, and on the other hand, it is convenient for reception. Guests of Confucianism.”

Li Xuan nodded, "Very good."

The fact that Li Xuandu stayed in the Qizhou Guild Hall naturally received the approval of the Confucians, but it was not Huang Shiyuan, but another high priest in the Sheji Academy. Although it was agreed by the Sheji Academy, the one who really threaded the needle behind the scenes was the Vientiane Academy, the head of the three universities. The real root was the suggestion made by the old man Long to Chi Yangweng, who deliberately left one to communicate with Li Xuandu. The gap will not form a comprehensive opposition to the Taoist sect within the Confucian sect, leaving a line for the future.

Li Xuan naturally understood the profound meaning of this and sent Lu Yanbing to communicate with the Confucian scholar early. The two sides should leave a gap and channel for mutual communication, but they cannot be placed on the surface. So they went around several circles, but Li Xuan did not use his confidant and direct descendants, but sent his junior sister Lu Yanbing to come forward as the Qingwei Sect. At the same time, the Confucian Sect did not use any hermit to come forward in person, but asked the Sheji Academy to come forward to discuss the matter with Qingweizong.

Both sides were tacitly informed.

These things are like white geese swimming in the water. White hair floats on the green water, and red palms push the clear waves. It is stable on the surface, and the two flippers are constantly swaying under the water, so the big goose can move forward slowly, leaving behind a string of blue waves.

When I came out of the Chunchun Courtyard, there was a carriage waiting here. The high curtain of the carriage was lifted up, revealing the face of Princess Xuanzhen.

Li Xuandu smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal Lan Xuanshuang, Shangguan Guan Guan and Lu Yanbing to take Zhang Baizhou to the carriage behind, while he walked into Princess Xuanzhen's carriage.

After everyone got on the carriage, the carriage drove towards the Qizhou Guild Hall.

In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other, all with snaps and fixed, so Princess Xuanzhen even cooked a pot of tea for Li Xuandu.

After Li Xuan thanked him, he held up the teacup and said, "This time I am so tired that I am on the open, so please forgive me."

"Sir, this is beyond my opinion." Princess Xuanzhen took a sip of tea, "It's a matter of time sooner or later. Since I have chosen Mr., I am ready."

Li Xuandu asked, "Aren't the princess afraid that I will fail?"

Princess Xuanzhen put down the teacup in her hand and laughed, "Sir, think this is a difficult problem?"

Li Xuan did not answer this question immediately, but said, "We should not be so unfamiliar with each other. We don't have to call me 'sir', just call my face "Zifu".

Princess Xuanzhen did not refuse and said, "Then the purple palace should not call me 'Princess' or 'Your Highness', just call me 'Yuying'."

Li Xuan nodded and turned back to the original topic, "I think this is a difficult problem. Although it is not unsolvable, it is indeed difficult to make a decision."

"I don't think so." Yuying shook her head.

Li Xuandu said, "I hope to hear it carefully."

Yuying said, "The truth is actually very simple. We should weigh the two harms and choose the least. I have only two choices, that is, the court and the purple palace. If I choose the court but fail, then my fate will probably be very miserable, as did the previous dynasty. There are many examples. A princess who lost her country wanted to be an ordinary woman but could not get it. If I failed to choose Zifu but I would probably lose my authority, and then I would truly serve the truth and stay away from the imperial capital from then on."

Li Xuan laughed, "How could you be sure that you just lost authority, rather than being given a single zhang of white silk or a glass of poisonous wine?"

Yuying smiled and said, "If Zifu is defeated, the winner will not be someone else, but the current emperor supported by the Confucian clan. My life and death are all in the thoughts of my nephew. Fortunately, our aunt and nephew are The relationship between them is pretty good. I heard that Zifu and Mrs. Li have a very good relationship. If Mrs. Li makes a big mistake when she is in a place, will Zifu put Mrs. Li to death?”

Li Xuandu sighed: "He is good at dancing with his long sleeves and is invincible."

Yuying lowered her eyes, "Purple Mansion is over."

In the carriage on the other side, Zhang Baizhou was very uncomfortable. It was not until this time that he realized what Li Xuandu said about the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang. Indeed, there are too many women in both inns and Qingping Club. Are these women married? Some are already married? Some are widowed? At this time, the three women in the carriage, Sister Lu and Sister Shangguan, whom they had just met, were not married. Aunt Lan, who had known each other for a long time, have been widowed for many years, and the eldest princess Xuanzhen, who has also been widowed for many years. .

After the three women and a young man greeted each other, the topic naturally focused on the young man. The young man did not have much experience in dealing with the woman, but he felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his little face turned slightly red. Where else could he have The rebellious look in front of Li Xuandu.

Lu Yanbing was the most bold. He smiled and reached out to pinch Zhang Baizhou's face, and said with a smile: "Men are still cute when they were young, but when they grow up, they become boring."

Zhang Baizhou reached out and patted Lu Yanbing's palm and turned his face.

"I'm sorry." Lu Yanbing smiled.

Shangguan Wan smiled and said, "Young people are thin-skinned."

Lu Yanbing said, "It's just because of his thin-skinnedness that it's interesting to tease him. If he meets a shameless person, he will be teased by him." Zhang Baizhou could only pretend that he didn't hear these words and began to miss Li Xuandu. .

Women are tigers, and women in the inn are tigers.

On the other side, as soon as Li Xuan left in Manchun's courtyard, the others began to disperse themselves. As Shi Hengbo said, they could rest all night, because such a big thing happened, no one was in the mood to listen again. The key is to hurry back and report this to the elders at home.

After the guest's position, the King of Tang, accompanied by his maid, stepped on the soft ground to Liu Yi and asked, "Eunuch Liu, what's going on today..."

Liu Yi glanced at Ding Ce whose head was only left on the ground, and sighed, "Come."

A team of Qingluan Guards who had been on standby for a long time walked in line and walked in quickly.

Liu Yi reached out and pointed at Ding Ce, "Dig it out, carefully collect it, and transport it back to his mansion."

The Qingluan Guards could not hide their horror, but they still took the order and left.

Liu Yi bowed to the fake immortals again, and the fake immortals broke through the air under Chen Mian's leadership.

Liu Yi said softly, "Your Highness, let me speak with you."

The King of Tang nodded and followed Liu Yi to a secluded and deserted place. Liu Yi said, "Mr. Qingping entered the capital. From today on, the imperial capital will be in peace."

The Tang King was silent.

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the present, our family will go back to the palace first and report this to the Empress Dowager Yang. Your Highness might as well go and meet the other His Highnesses to see their attitudes, and then we will join us. I don't know what your Highness wants to discuss this matter? "

The King of Tang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Eunuch Liu is saying a mature and polite word, so do it like this."

After saying that, the two left separately.

As for the King of Shu, he had already left quietly with other visitors and never showed up.

The remaining two Confucian gentlemen, Huang Shiyuan and Qi Foyan, walked towards the tower ship.

Mr. Bai Lu has left the boat and met the two. As Li Xuandu left, Old Man Long also left the place quietly. Only Emperor Tianbao was left in the tower ship.

Emperor Tianbao retreated and stayed alone on the second floor of the building. After a while, Shi Hengbo actually boarded the boat. Xie Yueyin walked at the end, his eyes stayed on Shi Hengbo's back for a long time until Shi Hengbo went to the second floor. , and then retracted your gaze.

On the second floor, only Emperor Tianbao and Shi Hengbo were left.

Unlike the young boy Zhang Baizhou, although the two are not very different in age, Emperor Tianbao has long had experience in men and women, and has good experience. After all, he is the emperor's honor. The empress dowager, court officials, and royal family will limit his authority, but It won't limit his life.

Until this time, Emperor Tianbao was like a real young man. He gently hugged Shi Hengbo into his arms, buried his head between her neck, and sniffed his hair lightly.

Shi Hengbo did not resist, hugged Emperor Tianbao with a smile, gently stroked Emperor Tianbao's hair, and asked softly, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today?"

Emperor Tianbao said with a deep "um", "My mother, master, and uncle are enough to give me a headache, and now there is another Mr. Qingping."

Emperor Tianbao did not use the word "正" that symbolizes the emperor's identity.

Shi Hengbo said softly, "Things must be done one by one. Your Majesty is still young, so don't worry."

Emperor Tianbao closed his eyes and murmured, "Hengbo, stop talking about this, just let me hold you and rest for a while."

Shi Hengbo stopped talking.
