Taiping Inn

Qin Su did not follow Li Xuandu to the imperial capital, but did not stay in Liaodong either. Qin Qing has already left the customs, so he has to take charge of the overall situation, so Qin Su does not have to serve him on his behalf.

Qin Su went to Qizhou.

In fact, Li Xuandu and Qin Su left Liaodong together, and then they took action separately after entering the pass. Li Xuandu went directly to the imperial capital, while Qin Su went to Qizhou, which was close to Zhili.

Qizhou is like a miniature world, and the situation is very complicated. Although the Qingyang Cult Rebellion has been quelled, there are also the Qi Wangfu, the Sheji Academy, the Qizhou Governor's Office, and the Donghua Sect and the Qingwei Sect, which are complicated.

Qin Su went to Liaodong, in addition to visiting his uncle Qin Daofang, he also had to meet Li Daoxu.

Although Li Xuan had already predicted that his master's attitude was irreversible, he still had to make an attitude from reason. But he didn't go there in person, but asked Qin Su to come forward on his behalf.

Qin Su understood Li Xuandu’s difficulties, so he was naturally obliged to do so.

Of course, considering the current situation, Li Xuandu also made some arrangements to ensure Qin Su's safety. He first notified Xu Da from the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and also notified Li Feiyan and Zhang who had returned to Qingweizong, and asked them to respond.

So Qin Su met Xu Da shortly after entering Qizhou.

Xu Da did not come alone. He also came with many guards from the Qi Palace, that is, the subordinates of the Thirteenth Sect, who were mostly good at it. In addition, Qin Su himself was also a master on the Taixuan List, as long as If it weren't for the master of immortality to take action personally, Qin Su would not be able to do anything.

In a Taiping Inn opened by Taiping Sect, Xu Da booked a private room in advance and sat opposite Qin Su.

Although Li Xuandu and Qin Su have not yet married, both inside and outside treated Qin Su with their wife's courtesy.

Qin Suwen said, "What are the changes in the Qingwei Sect now?"

Xu Dadao: "I really asked the wife right. Now there is indeed undercurrents within the Qingwei Sect."

Qin Su's face became solemn, and she asked again: "The specific situation?"

Xu Dadao: "Since September, Qingweizong has suspended some commerce and began to build warships on a large scale. In this regard, Qingweizong is the highest in the world, so the fleet expansion speed is extremely rapid. If war starts at sea, Neither the navy of the court nor other fleets were the opponents of the Qingweizong."

Qin Su frowned, "Why is there no news from the second senior brother?"

Xu Da whispered: "The reason why we can learn about this is very accidental. When the old master was the King of Qi, he made some arrangements for the Qing Weizong and inserted some people into it. However, most of these people were the Qing Dynasty. The Weizong cleans up or directly betrays the truth, and so many years have passed, there is only one person left. The reason why he was able to escape the disaster and not be discovered is because he was not among the Thirty-Six Halls, but was assigned to the Seventh On a remote island of the Twelve Islands. Not long ago, he discovered that the islands had begun to build warships and transformed some merchant ships into warships."

Qin Su pondered for a moment and said, "In other words, even the two deputy sect leaders don't know about these things."

Xu Da nodded and said, "That's true, so we analyze that Qingweizong's move was instructed by others, that is..."

"Old sect leader." Qin Su defined it, "It must be the old sect leader. Neither Li Daoshi nor Situ Xuanluo have such great power."

Xu Da agreed: "I think so too, but what is the profound meaning of the Great Sword Immortal's move is so hard to understand."

Qin Su knew that Xu Da might not be unable to understand, but he was just concerned about the master-apprentice relationship between Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu, and refused to say it clearly.

"No matter how powerful the warship is, it cannot be separated from water and cannot attack the city." Qin Su did not have such concerns, "so such a move seemed to be attacking instead of defending, and the old sect leader seemed to be guarding against something."

"Is there a map?" Qin Su asked.

"Yes." Xu Da immediately took out a map from the Sumeru treasure, spread it on the table, and then clicked on the northwest of the East China Sea Islands. "I just said that the island is here."

Qin Su looked at the map in front of her, pressed her finger on the map, then gently stroked, and said, "The construction of a fleet of ships in Qingweizong either blocked the coastline, which had nothing to do with the overall situation of the imperial capital, or was just guarding against... Liaodong."

As soon as the word "Liaodong" came out, Xu Dao fell silent.

Qin Su also had a moment of silence and murmured in a low voice: "It's finally here."

She now has some experience of the pain of marrying the princess in the story. When the two countries are fighting, she is in a dilemma. But she felt it was not that difficult, because it was not her who really faced all this, but Li Xuandu, who was far away in the imperial capital.

Qin Su said after a while: "Qizhou and Youzhou face each other across the sea, so there are three roads to choose from when entering Liaodong. Enter directly from Yuguanzhong Gate, take a detour to the grassland, Jinzhou Junzhen, cross the sea and go from Qi. If the state lands, if you want to cross the sea, you can't avoid the Qingwei Clan, which has been operating in the East China Sea and Qizhou for many years. The old sect leader is planning for the future."

Since Qin Su took the initiative to provoke, Xu Da no longer had any concerns and said, "Mrs. What Madam said is very true, so this trip will probably not have a good result."

Qin Su said: "At this point, there is no way back."

Xu Da hesitated and said, "Then the safety of the lady..."

Qin Su said: "Swords are swords and swords, friendships are friendships and friendships. The old sect leader will not do anything to me."

Since Qin Su said so, Xu Deteng stopped talking.

Nympho

Xijing.

Compared with the undercurrents in the imperial capital, the city of Xijing was dead silent.

On the one hand, it was because a large number of Wudao Sect personnel had left Xijing for the Western Regions, and on the other hand, it was because Saint Lord Tan Taiyun returned from Liaodong in defeat.

Until today, the gates of Wuxu Palace were still closed, and Tan Taiyun was not seen.

Outside Wuxu Palace, a man and a woman stood opposite each other.

The man was Huangfu Yuxiu, who had fled back to Xijing from Liaodong, and the woman was a palace official who had stayed in Xijing.

At this time, the atmosphere between the two was a little subtle. This subtlety had nothing to do with the ambiguity between men and women, but instead revealed a bit of hidden hostility.

In Huangfu Yuxiu's view, the palace official had always been unclear with Li Xuandu, and this time Tan Taiyun returned in defeat at the hands of Li Xuandu. The palace official also knew Huangfu Yuxiu's little thoughts about Tan Taiyun, but he never pointed it out.

After the two were silent for a long time, Huangfu Yuxiu finally said: "Saint Lord is seriously injured."

"I know." The palace official replied.

Huangfu Yuxiu said again: "It's all thanks to Li Xuandu."

The palace official's tone was still flat, "I know that too."

Huangfu Yuxiu said in a deep voice: "Why did Li Xuandu appear in Liaodong? Did someone tip him off?"

The palace official smiled calmly: "You don't have to beat around the bush, just say my name."

Huangfu Yuxiu looked straight at the palace official.

The palace official said: "Whether I tipped off or not, you don't have the final say, wait until the Holy Lord comes out."

Huangfu Yuxiu knew that what the palace official said was right, so he could only snort and turn away.

The palace official put his hands behind his back, tightly holding his folding fan behind him, looking at Huangfu Yuxiu's back, expressionless.
