Taiping Inn

Yuqing Garden and Yuying Temple are located in the south and north, with the Imperial Capital City in between.

Li Xuandu is in Yuqing Garden, while Qin Su is in Yuying Temple.

If Yuqing Garden gathered the people of the righteous path in the past, then Yuying Temple gathered the people of the evil path in the past. Of course, now they are all people of the Taoism.

Unlike the clear distinction between the main and the secondary in the lobby of Yuqing Garden, in the Yuzhen Hall of Yuying Temple, a row of seats are arranged in a circle, without obvious distinction between the main and the secondary.

After all, Li Xuandu is in the realm of immortality and can convince the crowd. Qin Su is still a lot worse than Li Xuandu. If Qin Qing came here in person, it would be almost the same.

However, Li Xuandu has Li Xuandu's way of doing things, and Qin Su has Qin Su's way of doing things.

Not distinguishing between the main and the secondary does not mean that Qin Su has no weight.

At this time, besides Qin Su, the first people present were from Liaodong, including Yun Chengzong, Jing Xiu, Qin Buyi, and Qin Buyi. They would undoubtedly stand on Qin Su's side.

Then there were Madam Leng of the Female Sect, Madam Lan of the Zaoge Sect, Wu Xian, the former leader of the ancient witch cult, and the local owner, Princess Xuanzhen.

In addition, Lu Yanbing, as a disciple of the Qingwei Sect, did not appear in Yuqing Garden, but appeared in Yuying Temple. She was also the only person who did not enter the realm of heaven and man among the participants.

At this time, there were still two empty seats, and Shangguan Wan of the Yinyang Sect had not yet appeared.

Everyone was not in a hurry to start, waiting quietly, occasionally talking in a low voice.

Lu Yanbing sat next to Qin Su and whispered, "It has already started over there, and the situation there is more complicated. Although Sect Master Bai, Second Senior Brother, and Sister-in-law are all on the side of the Senior Brother, there are also some wavering people. On the contrary, we are all family members, so it is easier to talk to them."

Qin Su nodded slightly and asked, "Sect Master Shangguan will not encounter any trouble, right?"

Lu Yanbing said, "It shouldn't be. With Sect Master Shangguan's realm of cultivation, no one can capture her silently unless the old man takes action personally. If there is a fight, we and Yuqing Garden will notice it. "

Before he finished speaking, he heard laughter coming from outside the door, saying: "I am late, I did not welcome the distant guests, and I made you wait for a long time, I am sorry, sorry."

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Wan, who was dressed in a dark black dress, walked into the Yuzhen Palace. There was a peach blossom makeup on the forehead, and a pair of phoenix eyes below. Her skin was as white as snow, as white as cream, and her face was majestic. She had a faint smile, which was quite similar to Madam Leng, but also a bit mysterious.

Qin Su introduced her to Yun Chengzong: "Grandpa Yun, you should have heard of her. She is the adopted daughter disciple of the Earth Master, the former Jiu Ming Guan, and now the new leader of the Yin Yang Sect. In the martial arts world, her surname is Shangguan, and her given name is 'Wan'. If in private, you can also call her 'Xu Wan', double Xu, female name Wan."

Yun Chengzong said: "I have heard of the name of the leader Shangguan for a long time."

Shangguan Wan bowed and said: "I am late, please forgive me, Senior Yun."

Mrs. Leng smiled and asked: "Wan'er, what have you been doing?"

Shangguan Wan first briefly mentioned the encounter with Zhang Baizhou and Lu Youzhen on the way, and then said: "I also invited a special guest this time, with the permission of my senior brother."

Mrs. Leng asked: "Who is it?"

Shangguan Wan looked outside the door and said: "Four Ming officials, please come in."

As soon as the voice fell, a male swordsman walked into the Yuzhen Hall. He was also dressed in black, without a crown, with black hair casually scattered. There were thirteen long swords on his back, lined up in order, like a peacock spreading its tail.

The man was Li Shixing, who ranked fourth among the ten Ming officials. He was second only to the Great Ming official Wang Tianxiao, the Second Ming official Zhong Wu, and the Third Ming official Wang Zhongfu. However, in terms of combat power, he was not inferior to Zhong Wu, and the ten Ming officials each performed their duties. Four Ming official Li Shixing was responsible for commanding the sword slaves of the Yin-Yang Sect. He was extremely powerful and his words carried a lot of weight. In the past, except for the Great Ming official Wang Tianxiao, even Zhong Wu had to give him three points.

Since the Earth Master ascended to heaven, all the Yin-Yang Sect officials have disappeared, and no one expected Li Shixing to appear here.

Qin Su was not surprised, after all, she knew about this matter.

Li Shixing is an old man in the world, and most people in the hall know him. The only one he doesn't know is Lan Xuanshuang and Wu Xian who looks like Yao Xianglian. However, Shangguan Wan has made a brief introduction on the way here, and he greeted them one by one, starting with Qin Su and ending with Madam Leng.

Especially Madam Leng, after all, they were old acquaintances, Li Shixing felt a little more emotional: "I didn't expect to see Madam here at this time."

Madam Leng said: "After Wei passed away, I didn't expect to have this day."

After greeting each other, Shangguan Wan spoke again: "It is fate that Simingguan can come here. I think you all know that Simingguan was a member of Qingwei Sect and the junior brother of the Great Sword Immortal. Later, for some reasons, he left Qingwei Sect and joined Yinyang Sect. This is also a common thing. Even the senior brother left Qingwei Sect and became the leader of Taiping Sect."

Everyone nodded.

Shangguan Wan continued: "Although Simingguan is no longer a member of Qingwei Sect, the friendship is still there. He has a very good relationship with Madam Li. Madam Li is also the aunt of the senior brother. In the end, they are still a family."

At this point, everyone has understood the general reason why Li Shixing came to Yuying Temple.

In fact, the real reason why Li Shixing decided to surrender was the news of the death of Wang Tianxiao and Song Zheng. Although Wang Tianxiao died in Yaoyue Cave without anyone present, Li Xuan did not deliberately conceal the news of Wang Tianxiao's death, but let the female sect spread it. So after Li Shixing learned about the deaths of Song Zheng and Wang Tianxiao, and the news that Shangguan Wan inherited the Yin-Yang Sect, he finally figured out one thing. The change of the Yin-Yang Sect was an irreversible trend. Unless he wanted to hide his identity for the rest of his life, he had no choice but to surrender.

After several considerations, Li Shixing contacted his senior sister Li Feiyan. Li Feiyan was still very concerned about this Li family member. She personally came forward and together with Shangguan Wan, facilitated Li Shixing's return to the Yin-Yang Sect.

This time, Li Shixing went to Beijing with Li Feiyan, but Li Feiyan went to Yuqing Garden, while Li Shixing met Shangguan Wan first. Li Shixing did not have much resistance to Shangguan Wan's succession to the Yin-Yang Sect. First, the geomancer had already expressed similar intentions, otherwise he would not have helped Shangguan Wan to enter the realm of heaven and man. Second, Shangguan Wan is indeed much better than before. The martial arts world is based on strength, so there is nothing to say.

Qin Su raised his hand and said, "Please take a seat, both of you."

Shangguan Wan and Li Shixing took their seats, and everyone was here.

Qin Su looked around and said, "Today we are gathered together and sit in the same hall. I think you all know why, so I don't need to elaborate."

Everyone nodded.

Qin Su continued, "The Art of War says: 'In any battle, you should unite with the right and win with the strange. Therefore, those who are good at the strange are infinite like the heaven and earth, and inexhaustible like the sea and the river.' When two armies fight, there must be both the right and the strange. The Purple Mansion is the right, and our side is the strange. Although we have fewer people, the final victory may still depend on us."

Hearing this, everyone was solemn.

Qin Su first looked at Madam Leng: "I'll have to trouble you with the Tang King's affairs."

Madam Leng nodded and said: "It's my duty."

Qin Su then looked at Shangguan Wan and asked: "How is the rear party?"

Shangguan Wan replied: "It has been arranged."

Qin Su nodded and said: "Then there is the Qingluan Guard Commandery, Bingyan."

Lu Yanbing said: "Yes."

Qin Su said: "Bingyan, I will ask Uncle Jing, Grandpa Qin, and Second Aunt to help you. You must control the Qingluan Guard Commandery, and then help Princess Xuanzhen control the Five Cities Army through the Qingluan Guard Commandery."

Lu Yanbing said in a deep voice: "Yes."

Princess Xuanzhen also nodded gently.

Qin Su finally said: "Madam Lan, Great Wizard, you two are the top priority. Zifu has already explained it in advance, so I won't say more."

Lan Xuanshuang and Wu Xian nodded in agreement.

Qin Su finally looked at Yun Chengzong and Li Shixing and said, "Grandpa Yun, Master Shangguan, and Simingguan, you come with me."

The three of them said in a deep voice, "Yes."
