Xuanjian Immortal Clan

Li Yuanxiu quickly walked into the middle hall, followed by Li Yuanjiao, and saw several clan uncles waiting eagerly in the middle hall, with panicked expressions and reserved manners, and they all whispered:

"Young Master...my son is reckless, please let him go home..."

"That's right! Young master, you need to show some kindness when running the family..."

Li Yuanxiu glanced around and knew that they were the elders of those clan brothers who were misbehaving in Dongshanyue and setting up troops to humiliate themselves. He just cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"It's not that the juniors are harsh, it's just that a few brothers have gone too far. Some killed soldiers for fun, bullied other people's wives and daughters, and even danced with babies on top of them... Can you elders tolerate this?!"

Several people were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and hesitated a few words. Li Yuanxiu sighed lowly and continued:

"Establishing clan integrity and regulating the clan members was the legacy of our ancestors, and it has never been changed over the years."

"Besides, this matter has already reached my uncle's ears. Your Excellency is quite frightened and angry... I can't help you even if you want to help me. If you elders can get my uncle's order, I will let you go immediately!"

The ancestor in Li Yuanxiu's words naturally refers to Li Mutian. The establishment of the clan's main courtyard was exactly what Li Mutian repeatedly asked before his death. He also moved Li Tongya to suppress a few people, which immediately left several people speechless and sighed. He retreated out of breath.

Li Yuanxiu watched several people leave, then smiled and shook his head and entered the back hall. Li Yuanjiao behind him was amazed and praised:

"I bumped into this menacing group of people so unexpectedly, and my eldest brother was able to silence them in just a few breaths. It's really a good trick."

"It's just a trail."

Li Yuanxiu smiled softly and said softly:

"After all, in this world, the strong are respected, and it is most convenient to suppress others with strength. Our method of ruling is just to borrow power from the powerful elders. If we are powerless, it will be useless no matter what you say."

The two people chatted and laughed and entered the back hall. In the hall, incense was lit and smoke filled the air. In the middle stood a man respectfully, wearing leather armor and looking very energetic. He looked at the two people who came forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Tian Zhongqing has met two adults."

"Um."

Li Yuanxiu responded, walked up to the top, and said bluntly:

"There is a man in Huaqian Town under your rule. His name is Ma Haiji. He is the work of the Yu family. Do you know that?"

"My subordinates don't know!"

Tian Zhongqing was shocked by these words, his pupils dilated slightly, he quickly knelt down and said hurriedly:

"My subordinates don't know who they are..."

"Eh."

Li Yuanxiu waved his hand to stop him and said softly:

"This is none of your business. I deliberately indulged this person. To deal with these details, I will kill him at will. It seems that managing him is far better than getting rid of An Xin. He can also come in handy at critical moments."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and a clan soldier immediately handed over the bamboo tube containing the secret message and handed it back to Tian Zhongqing. Li Yuanxiu chuckled and said:

"I want to let the Yu family know what is in this letter. Among all the details, this person's name is the most unpleasant and easiest to deceive, so I used Ma Haiji."

Tian Zhongqing nodded repeatedly, and Li Yuanxiu explained the details and said:

"Things should be done naturally, so that Ma Haiji feels like he peeked in unintentionally."

Tian Zhongqing listened carefully and then left softly. Li Yuanjiao was still sitting carelessly at the foot of the steps. When he saw this man retreating, he said:

"Brother, Yu Mugao is not easy to deceive. Whether you believe it or not, this horse will probably be abandoned by the Yu family after being used. Brother, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Li Yuanxiu nodded and said with a smile:

"Is there any reason for the person who comes to my house to be a stay-at-home agent to escape unscathed and be wealthy for the rest of his life? As soon as the news about him gets out, his life will be worse than death."

Lifting the brush, Li Yuanxiu and Li Yuanjiao looked at each other and drew a circle on the cloth with a smile. Li Yuanjiao raised his eyebrows and said with an inexplicable expression:

"Tian Zhongqing and Xu Gongming, both of them are useful talents. After all, Zhu clan has a large population, and there will eventually be some powerful people."

Li Yuanxiu lowered his eyes, stared at the round circles drawn by his pen, and said softly:

"Just use the talents you can. Don't ask for someone like An Jingming. My pond is shallow and I can't raise a dragon."

————

There are four towns under the rule of Huaqian Mountain, and Huaqian Town at the foot of the mountain is the most prosperous. Many courtyards have been built in the past few years. In the sparse spring rain, people wearing coir raincoats come and go, making it very lively.

"Your Majesty is here to visit, please inform Brother Zhong Qing!"

Ma Haiji waited outside the yard for a while in the spring rain. A servant opened the door with a creak. Seeing him coming, he said respectfully:

"It turns out to be Mr. Ma, please come in and talk."

Ma Haiji nodded, entered the courtyard with his hands behind his back, stepped over the threshold and took off his raincoat. There was no figure of Tian Zhongqing in the main courtyard, not even a single servant. Seeing the empty courtyard, he raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Where is Master Zhong Qing?"

"Your Excellency received the urgent letter early in the morning and took the people out, leaving me alone to look after the house. Please wait a moment and I will serve you tea."

Tian Zhongqing was frugal by nature, and he only had a few personal servants at home. This situation happened not once or twice. Ma Haiji nodded when he heard the words, and the servant agreed in succession and hurriedly went down.

But when Ma Haiji heard the word "urgent letter", his eyes suddenly lit up. He sat down on the wooden chair, looked at the bamboo tube used to hold the letter rolling gently in the wind on the table, and thought to himself:

"I wonder if I can get any news."

Ma Haiji fled from the road ten years ago. He was good at talking and calculating, so he got a position in the warehouse and worked under Tian Zhongqing.

But he actually had another identity. Ma Haiji's real surname was Yu, and he was a branch of the Yu family. His generation had already been in decline. Fortunately, he was smart and recommended by others, so he acquired the identity of an intermediary and infiltrated the family. Li family.

His eyes stayed on the bamboo tube on the table for a while, and Ma Haiji couldn't hold it any longer. He had stayed here for ten years and could only deliver some scattered news. He had not made any big moves, and he almost forgot about it. What's your last name?

"If this news is important enough, maybe I can return home in full glory and no longer have to fool around here..."

In fact, life in the Li family is no more difficult than in the Yu family. To be fair, with the support of hundreds of thousands of Shanyue, the life of the people of the Li family is much better than that of the people of the Yu family. Although the Yu family is supported by various families, they are rich as the upper class. The monks below should starve to death.

Ma Haiji looked around for a while, then quickly stepped forward and squatted on the corner of the table to take a look. The wax seal on the bamboo tube had been patted off and it was empty. Tian Zhongqing had probably taken it away.

"Pity."

Ma Haiji sighed, sat down again and crossed his feet. He glanced at the ground and found only a piece of white cloth stuck on the leg of the table, shaking gently in the gentle spring breeze.

"Um?"

Ma Haiji's eyes suddenly lit up. He was already thinking quickly. With a slight movement of his brain, he immediately knew what the white cloth was.

"This must be an urgent letter for Tian Zhongqing. He hurried out of the yard without sealing the mailbox securely. The spring breeze blew the letter under the table!"

Ma Haiji was immediately overjoyed. He leaned over and took a look, and saw that the ink on it had faded away, leaving only a few words.

"An Jingming...has broken through the eighth level of Qi training..."

"Sir! Tea has been delivered."

This call frightened Ma Haiji out of his wits. He sat back on the chair and took the tea bowl that was handed to him. His mind was full of thoughts of running away immediately. When he saw the servant retreating, he wiped his face with a long sigh and told the story of the process. After recalling it, he said to himself:

"I did it flawlessly... hurry up and go!"
