Taiping Inn

Leaving aside the "blood knife" Ning Yi, everyone has arrived, and the next step is to meet Tiangong General Tang Zhou.

In theory, the Qingyang main altar of the Qingyang Sect is in Qinzhou, and Song Fuchen can go to the Qingyang main altar from Xijing, without having to go around in a big circle. The reason for this is that since the situation in Xijing became unstable, Tang Zhou has left the Qingyang main altar in Qinzhou and went to the Baiyang main altar at the junction of Jingzhou and Shuzhou, which is the famous Baidi City.

Baidi City is strategically located and is the gateway from Jingzhou to Shu. Baidi City is surrounded by water on three sides and a mountain on one side. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Gongsun occupied Shu and became king, he entered this place. There was a white crane well in the city, and white gas often gushed out of the well, just like a white dragon. Gongsun took this as the "White Emperor" and renamed this city Baidi City.

There are two ways to Baidi City, Jingzhou and Shuzhou. Unfortunately, Shuzhou is the sphere of influence of Yinyang Sect, while Jingzhou is the sphere of influence of Governor Jingchu and Shenxiao Sect. Shuzhou is not worth thinking about. There are thousands of difficulties and dangers. Although there is a Miaozhen Sect, it can only barely protect itself. The situation in Jingzhou is more complicated. First of all, Governor Jingchu has many contacts with Yinyang Sect. Although he will not help Yinyang Sect in public, it is hard to say what he does behind the scenes. Secondly, it involves the internal struggle of Shenxiao Sect. Now everyone in the world knows that the leader of Shenxiao Sect, Sanxuan Zhenren, and his junior brother Ling Chong Daochang have a conflict.

The reason why the two brothers have different Taoist names is that "Sanxuan Zhenren" is one of the five great Zhenren appointed by the court, and is on par with Yuanyang Miaoyi Zhenren of Zhengyi Sect, Feiyuan Zhenren, Wanshou Zhenren of Miaozhen Sect, and Taiwei Zhenren of Donghua Sect. And this Taoist Ling Chong is not an ordinary person. He is much older than Sanxuan Zhenren, but he entered the sect many years later. In his early years, he was a big man who traveled all over the rivers and lakes in Jingzhou. He had countless disciples and a high level of strength. Whether it was the righteous or evil way, he had to give him some face. He has been rampant in the rivers and lakes for decades, and regardless of right or wrong, he has a lot of blood debts on his hands. When he was in his forties, he felt that he had committed a lot of sins and his conscience was uneasy, so he often went to Shenxiao Sect to listen to Zhenren's preaching, so that he could be at peace. He listened like this for more than ten years, and finally when he knew his destiny, he worshipped Shenxiao Sect's disciples and became a monk. Because of this, he was considered to be a disciple with his skills. Although he was mature and steady in his dealings, and was very popular in the Shenxiao Sect, he still had no chance to be the leader.

Now, all the old people in the Shenxiao Sect have passed away, and the two of them are respected. There was a gap between the two, which caused the Shenxiao Sect to split into two factions. Such confidential matters were originally unknown to outsiders, but since last year, the matter has become more and more serious, and finally it can no longer be concealed. Speaking of this dispute, it also involves the two major sects of the righteous way, namely Zhengyi Sect and Qingwei Sect. Zhengyi Sect supports Sanxuan Zhenren, and Qingwei Sect supports Ling Chong Daoist. For a while, no one can do anything to the other.

However, Yan Feiqing and Li Xuan both knew that the matter of Fenglei Sect that day was the fuse, and the two of them happened to be the people who witnessed it.

The reason why Song Fuchen came to Huizhou was because the road to Shu was difficult, and he was not in Xijing at that time. After receiving the message from the Saint Lord Tan Taiyun, he set out from Qinzhou, arrived at Luzhou via Zhongzhou, and after meeting with Li Xuandu, Yan Feiqing and others, he went from Luzhou to Jingzhou, and then went to Baidi City from Jingzhou.

Although it was destined to be difficult to travel along the way, the states in the south of the Yangtze River were still the territory of the righteous sects. With the consent of the great heavenly master and the personal escort of Yan Feiqing, the little heavenly master, it was better than the murderous intentions in Shuzhou.

According to everyone's analysis, the biggest obstacle on the surface was probably from the Governor of Jingchu. After all, the Governor of Jingchu was not comparable to the Governor of Jiangnan. He held real military power and was very difficult to mess with. But then again, they were all masters of the rivers and lakes, and they were not fighting on the battlefield. No matter how many troops he had, they just had to bypass him. The masters of the Yin-Yang Sect really needed to be careful. The people of the Yin-Yang Sect were mysterious and unpredictable, and they were the most difficult to defend. Of course, the righteous people are not afraid of the Yin-Yang Sect, but because this matter concerns the great reputation of the struggle between good and evil, even the great heavenly master cannot put this matter on the table, and it is best to do it secretly and not let others know at all.

Because of this, before leaving Taiping Inn, the group deliberately changed their appearance from young heroes to young couples who were newly married and went out to travel.

The young man is Yan Feiqing. It must be said that Yan Feiqing changed his Taoist costume and put on brocade clothes. He really has the meaning of a noble young man in the world. If he travels in the world, he will inevitably make many female heroes fall in love with him. The young lady is naturally Su Yun'an, who is dignified and elegant, gentle and quiet. When the two stand together, anyone will give a thumbs up and praise them as a golden boy and a jade girl.

Li Xuandu pretended to be Yan Feiqing's follower. He had played the accountant before, so it didn't look out of place. The palace official pretended to be Su Yun'an's maid, because she was young and looked much younger than her actual age. After the costume, she looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, which was also very lifelike. As for the most important Song Fuchen, because of his mature face, he simply dressed up as a guard with martial arts.

The group quietly left Taiping Inn through the secret passage reserved by Shen Wuyou, and first came to the capital of Huainan Prefecture. Here, Yan Feiqing bought many servants and maids, so Li Xuandu turned into a housekeeper, and the palace official became the leader of many maids. He also hired many escorts and guards, and handed them over to Song Fuchen to lead. Then he left Huainan Prefecture and came to the bank of the river, hired a big boat, and went upstream.

The boat trip was boring, and Li Xuandu and others were not really traveling around, so except for Yan Feiqing and Su Yunxian who had to travel around, the rest were mostly in the cabin.

When he arrived in Jingzhou that day, Li Xuandu was silently reading secret books in the cabin. The palace official pushed the door and brought out a gust of fragrant wind.

Li Xuan sniffed and wanted to sneeze but he still held back.

He closed the secret book in his hand and looked over. At this time, the palace official was wearing a green cloth dress and wearing a pair of buns. How could he tell that it was the palace girl? However, Li Xuan was not much better. He was wearing a green cloth and wearing a square scarf. At first glance, he looked like the kind of guy who was poor and sore in the end and couldn't be the one who was helping the rich boy.

Li Xuandu said, "What does it smell on you?"

The palace official said helplessly: "The maid can only use this kind of crude and inferior cosmetics, and all good things are for the young lady."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you envious?"

The palace official snorted: "I think they are enjoying it. They don't need to pretend to be wandering around, but they are suffering from us. If it spreads it, what's the matter? I, the palace official, Be a maid for Su Yunba!”

Li Xuandu said, "After all, it's for your saint's errand. Don't complain. If you really complain, I'm going to complain. What did I say?"

The palace official smiled and said, "After you said this, I'm ready to think about it. That's the reason. If the great Zifu Sword Immortal gives me the bottom, what's the point of my grievance?"

Li Xuan said angrily: "Then do you have anything else? If not, then get out of here."

The palace official was completely unmoved, neither annoyed nor angry, and said to himself: "Zifu, in your opinion, can you be sure of inheritance by persuading General Tang Zhou, this time?"

Li Xuandu frowned and said, "Ask me? As the confidant of the Holy Lord Dan Taiyun, shouldn't you have been calculating? Come and ask me at this time?"

"It's my business for me to care about it, but I want to hear you." The palace official smiled and said, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. You are an outsider, so your views are naturally different."

Li Xuan thought for a while and said in a deep thought: "In my opinion, it is about 50%. The reason why Tang and Zhou left Qinzhou at this time was also very obvious, that is, to avoid the Holy Lord and Earth Master. Because of this kind of thing, you can naturally rise up if you stand in the right position, but if you stand in the wrong position, you will be doomed. With his position, you no longer need to bet on anything, just wait and see. But neither of you If you are willing to let him go and insist on making a choice, then there is a reason for him to choose from wherever he chooses."

The palace official's eyes were deep and he said to himself, "Is it only 50%?"
