Taiping Inn

When Li Xuandu returned to Zixian Mountain, the dust had settled here. In other words, the three women led by Bai Meiniang had completely mastered the situation of Tianle Sect. In addition to Zui Chunfeng's death, he also A great deacon Cui Louyin died at the hands of Li Xuandu. He had already sent a message to the great deacon Zui Taiping. He would return to Tianle Sect to meet the new sect leader soon. As for the great deacon Feng Louchun, he was fleeing "Tian" On the way to "Listen to the Peach Garden", he was intercepted by the Chou Nuer, and now he has been detained in prison, waiting to be defeated.

After such a huge change in the situation, Bai Meiniang deserves to be the new sect leader, and Chou Nuer, who returned to Tianle Sect, took over as the deputy sect leader. Qin Louyue, who has the "Teacher of the Dragon" this time, went further. , promoted from one of the three great deacons to the third-ranked chief in the Tianle Sect. As for the two vacant positions and the few dead deacons, they have to be selected from other disciples to substitute. This is also One of the reasons why Bai Meiniang decided to close the mountain was that the deacons and the big deacons suffered too heavy losses, which was almost a disaster for some small sects to destroy the family.

Under the guidance of a female disciple of Tianle Sect who had been ordered by Bai Meiniang for a long time, Li Xuandu and Zhou Shuning did not go to the highest point of the "Qiong Tower", but went to the eighth floor where Bai Meiniang was usually on. Not to mention what will happen in the future, just for the present, Bai Meiniang did not move into the highest gorgeous hall as soon as possible, but she was so arrogant that she would not succeed.

At this time, Bai Meiniang and others were not here, and they thought they were still dealing with various matters in the sect. After all, there are many tourists from all directions in the "Tianle Taoyuan" who come to participate in the selection of courtesans. Even if Bai Meiniang plans to block the mountain, it is not easy to offend these powerful people with good identities. If you should be comforted, you should be comforted. It is also a very worry-free trouble to make a loss.

Li Xuan asked the little girl to sit on the embroidery stub in the outside room and poured her a cup of tea.

The little girl held the teacup in her hands, but she still didn't come back to her senses from the shock she saw along the way. After all, the feat of digging the mountain belly in it to build a city. Not to mention the little girl, even the old Jianghu came here for the first time, she would be shocked.

The little girl asked in a low voice, "Brother, what place is this? There are many beautiful sisters on the way we came."

Li Xuan did not explain too much about the role these women played in this never sleeping city, but just said, "This mountain is the Zixian Mountain I mentioned before. Do you still remember the Ten Evil Sects I told you about? We are now Wherever it is located is the mountain gate of Zhongtian Le Sect of the Ten Evil Dao Sects."

The little girl nodded and said, "Remember, my brother said that among the ten evil Taoist sects, Wudao Sect is the first, Yin-Yang Sect and the female Sect are the second, Zaoge Sect, Butian Sect and Dao Zong Sect are the second, Wangqing Sect, Tianle Sect is only stronger than Zhenchuan Sect and Huntian Sect.”

Li Xuandu gently tapped her smooth forehead, "We are now visiting other people's homes. Don't say such words that are stronger and weak."

The little girl played with her tongue: "I understand."

About half an hour later, Bai Meiniang pushed the door and smiled apologetically at Li Xuan, "It's so complicated, I really have no clones, so Mr. Li has been waiting for a long time."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "It's okay."

Bai Meiniang smiled brilliantly: "Chou Nuer and Hu Daxia will not be back until Shenshi. I will hold a banquet for Mr. Li and this friend alone. I wonder if Mr. Li will appreciate the glory?"

It is said that "a smile looks back and is charming." Bai Mei Niang is usually dressed in an extremely old-fashioned woman, but in this smile, the word "hundred-beauty" finally appears.

If this scene fell into the eyes of other men, I would probably have to swallow some hard saliva.

The little girl subconsciously glanced at Li Xuandu beside her. Li Xuandu just smiled gently and did not look too covetous.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Mr. Li doesn't say anything humble. Just because Li helped you drive out Lu Yanbing, who wanted to benefit from the fisherman, can afford your meal, so what delicious food and wine are there , even if you take it."

Bai Meiniang smiled and stood up to instruct her disciples to prepare for a banquet, and then invited the two of them to a side hall next to her that was specially used for banquets.

It was not until a long time later that the little girl was until today's banquet was so heavy.

The leader of a sect is probably a treatment that only a great master of the Heavenly Realm realm can receive. Although the Tianle Sect is not as good as the Wudao Sect and the Female Sect, its momentum is not comparable to that of ordinary sects. Before Zhou Shuning officially entered the world, she followed Li Xuan to enjoy the top treatment in the world. Maybe she didn't realize it now, but when she walked alone in the future, she would understand how difficult it was.

Some things that seem natural are actually someone who has paid more for you in advance, just like the treatment that the little girl enjoys today. She wants to get to this point alone without relying on Li Xuandu. The hardships are far away. Far beyond imagination.

After sitting down, Bai Meiniang sat in the main seat as the master, Li Xuan sat in the host and guest seat, and the little girl sat in his starting position. Because there were only three people, the huge round table seemed a little empty, but Bai Meiniang still put a table full of dishes according to the regulations of the twelve people.

Zhou Shuning is also a lady from the family of officials, but today it is an eye-opener. Otherwise, "Only after three generations of officials have known to dress and eat." Tianle Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, whether it is a cup or a plate. Tableware such as bowls and chopsticks are still the exquisite dishes, and they are all very particular. Bai Meiniang just chose two famous ones, and she also talked about most of the incense sticks.

In addition, Li Xuandu and Bai Meiniang talked a lot on the table. The content of the conversation was more detailed and specific than before. The little girl next to her was confused and seemed to be what she would do in the future and what would happen to the imperial capital. , and how about the twelve sects of the righteous path and the ten evil paths, there are also several names mixed with: "Tiandao" Qin Qing, Zaoge Sect Zang Laoren, Qingwei Sect leader Li Yuanying, Zhengyi Sect leader Yan Feiqing, and Pinniao Sect Xuan She has only heard of some of these names, some have been seen, some have been seen, some have never heard of or seen.

Most of the time, Li Xuan was talking, Bai Meiniang listened quietly and asked questions occasionally. At the end, Li Xuandu said: "Bai Meiniang, the original change in the imperial capital was definitely not settled, it was just a new beginning, and there will be greater variables in the future. To put it more bluntly, The so-called Emperor and Capital Change is actually a battle between all parties for their own pursuits and re-dividing gains and losses. The result is that the four ministers were eliminated, but even so, it cannot satisfy everyone, such as Zheng Yisan. They defeated the Qingweizong, but were still excluded from the center of the court by the empress dowager, so they had to turn to support King Jin, but King Jin was not justified and could not give Zheng Yizong what he wanted. One sect will find another way.”

Bai Meiniang was surprised. After all, Tianle Sect belongs to one of the five sects in Liaodong. She couldn't help but ask: "In Mr. Li's opinion, where will this variable be?"

Li Xuandu said: "In the current little emperor, when Wude was eleven, the little emperor was only ten years old; the next year he changed the reign of Tianbao, the little emperor was eleven years old; and as far as the sixth year of Bao today, the little emperor was already sixteen years old. As the day of the crown is not far away, the matters about the young emperor's rule must be put on the agenda, which is a variable."

Bai Meiniang's face turned slightly pale and she sincerely asked, "In accordance with Mr. Li's opinion, how should my Tianle Sect respond?"

Li Xuandu looked at her deeply and said, "Stand on the side of the orthodox, and on the side of the general trend."

Bai Meiniang asked again: "What is orthodoxy? What is the general trend?"

Li Xuandu replied: "Zhengyi Sect cannot represent the general trend, but most of the time, they are indeed on the side of the general trend. Not long ago, I had a deep conversation with Yan Xuanji, and he said Zhengyi Sect Supporting the King of Jin is just riding a donkey and looking for a horse. The implication is that the bet should be placed on the little emperor. Since ancient times, the Zhengyi Sect will even join forces with the four sects that failed in the battle of the imperial capital. The five Liaodong sects who entered the imperial capital were expelled by the joint forces of the ten sects of Zhengdao, thus being able to enter the imperial capital, forcing the empress dowager to return to power to the emperor and keep the court. Tianlezong did not need to join forces with Zhengyi, and I dare not assert Will the Queen Mother's ship capsize? But my suggestion is that you can abandon the ship early and land on the shore with Zhengyizong in order to protect yourself. Of course, this is just my own opinion. How to do it, Bai Meiniang also needs to consider it yourself."

Bai Meiniang nodded slowly as if she was thinking.
