Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The little ones are even more anxious.

Chang Le tugged at Li Ke's sleeve, and said relentlessly, "Sir, tell me quickly!"

Li Ke pursed his lips, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Liu's move is a bit more ruthless than a desperate plan."

He thought about his words, and then continued: "You all know that the Four Great Aristocratic Families secretly mobilized their troops on their bases, right?"

Several people nodded.

"Just like Brother Liu said, in war, what you fight is money. The family will invest all their wealth in the stock market, and the price war that Brother Liu said is equivalent to sealing off the possibility of the family's delisting. Then they will take Why raise troops?"

Chapter 570 The Academy Is Where You Show Your Talent

The night was getting deeper and deeper.

With the departure of Li Ke and others, the bonfire party was completely over.

Yuan Shoucheng stood on the railing of Doulao Hall, watching a group of little Taoist priests below clean up the mess, feeling more and more heavy.

"It stands to reason that you should come back"

He faintly felt a little uneasy.

From Zhongnan Mountain to Chang'an City, it is only eighty li.

Riding a fast horse, it should arrive in half a day.

He sent someone there in the morning. Could it be that he was locked up in the city after a long delay?

No, with Qin Tianjian's warrant, even if it's time for curfew, the city inspector should be lenient.

Or, ran into bandits on the road?

That's even more impossible.

This road is all official.

I've never heard of banditry on official roads.

"Something must have happened!"

Yuan Shoucheng bit the dead skin on his lower lip, and squeezed the railing with both hands.

Once Liu Bai planned to make an enemy of the family, he felt that it was very inappropriate.

One must know that the foundation of the aristocratic family is not comparable to that of the Liu family.

Maybe one or two is fine, but the four great families combined, both in terms of power and financial resources, are far above the Liu family!

With the strength of a family, it is tantamount to striking a stone with an egg to counter their accumulation of thousands of years!

Even if Liu Bai forcibly limited the battlefield to merchants, it would be no small matter.

How can the wealth accumulated by the family for thousands of years be beyond the imagination of others?

The mountain wind was a bit cold, and Yuan Shoucheng felt chills both in his body and in his heart.

The Taoist sect has been firmly tied to the Liu family.

If the Liu Family is destroyed, the end of the Taoist School will also come

"If the Liu family is defeated, how should my Taoist sect regard itself?"

Yuan Shoucheng murmured.

After some difficult choices, he slammed on the railing.

"Is this old man a ruthless person?!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

The slightly stooped back suddenly became straight.

He strode downstairs, opened a door, and the people who had been waiting inside all stood up!

Twenty or so old Taoist priests in purple robes looked at Yuan Shoucheng with burning eyes.

Qi Qi bowed and said: "Master please show me!"

On the surface, Yuan Tiangang is the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, but in fact, he is just a person introduced by the Taoist sect to deal with the imperial court.

And these people are all disciples of Yuan Shoucheng, and they are also elders who really hold great power in the Taoist sect!

Yuan Shoucheng took a deep breath, and said: "Tomorrow at two o'clock, if there is no news from Chang'an, you will have to fight to the death to protect Mr. Liu and escape into the depths of the Qinling Mountains, but if anyone dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy!"

The passage from Zhongnan Mountain to Qinling Mountains is the last retreat of the Daomen.

This is the way to preserve the fire of the Taoist sect when it was fighting against the Buddhist sect.

Later, Xuanzang, a disciple of the Buddha, and Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist god, shook hands to make peace and seek common development, so they blocked this road.

Unexpectedly, today became the Liu family's 'retreat'.

"Disciple obeys Master's law!"

More than twenty purple-robed Taoist priests bowed again.

They all went out.

In a blink of an eye, Yuan Shoucheng was the only one left in the hall.

He sat down, remained silent for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and murmured: "If he loses, Liu Bai will surely make a comeback sooner or later. I will be able to follow him and be reborn from the ashes."

The twenty or so purple-robed Taoist priests left the Doula Hall, seven or eight rushed to the Zongsheng Palace where the disciples lived, and the others all went deep into the forest.

Little did they know, there were a few people on the top of Dou Lao Hall, watching them quietly.

A big man in black armor stood side by side with a man in white.

It was Xu Chu and Wang Shouren!

"The young master is right, Yuan Shoucheng is a person who knows kindness and righteousness, and he is not as unbearable as you think!"

Holding the knife, Xu Chu looked at Wang Shouren with playful eyes.

Wang Shouren shrugged his shoulders without feeling the slightest embarrassment.

"I never mind thinking badly about human nature. It's nothing bad to be fully prepared."

Xu Chu chuckled, and said, "If you say a word, let the five hundred Jinwu guards freeze in the woods for a night. It seems that you are the worst person."

As he spoke, he slowly put the knife back into the sheath.

From the looks of it, he was already ready for a big fight.

"If he intends to capture the young master and give credit to the four great families, then you and I will have no face to continue living in this world. What's more, the duty of those people in the forest is to protect the Supreme Emperor."

As soon as Wang Shouren finished speaking, someone from behind suddenly said: "You are a meticulous kid, but you are used to thinking too badly about people. Since you are fine, why not come and have a drink to warm yourself up!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, turned around and walked a few steps, and sat beside Zhang Sanfeng.

In the middle, there is a low table filled with food and drink.

It seems that Zhang Sanfeng only ate half full at the bonfire party

Wang Shouren joked: "If you are not worried, why are you guarding here with the younger generation?"

Zhang Sanfeng took a sip of the wine and burped contentedly.

"Seventy years in the poor world, I am used to seeing all kinds of messy people. Some things, don't think too complicated. The young master once said that with your ability, no matter where you put it, it is enough to become a saint immediately. It's a pity. Too scheming, this is not the way you should go"

As he spoke, Zhang Sanfeng picked up a large piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

Then, he said vaguely: "If you put this mind on learning, your achievements will be much better than Wang Ji's."

Wang Shouren was silent for a while, and suddenly wanted to understand why the young master rarely arranged tasks for himself.

Even dealing with the Four Great Aristocratic Families was at his own initiative.

"The young master has wanted to tell you these words for a long time, but he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity. What happened today has given you a wake-up call. Hand over the authority at hand. The academy is the place where you can showcase your talents. !"

After speaking, Zhang Sanfeng hooked Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren got up hurriedly, bowed to Zhang Sanfeng first, and immediately handed over the token representing Jinyiwei to Zhang Sanfeng.

"Junior understands!"

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and nodded, then glared at Xu Chu, and said: "Hurry up and call those people back, this is the time when wild beasts come and go, if the bears and wolves snatch a few away, Yuan Shoucheng won't fight the young master?! "

Xu Chu stood up reluctantly, muttered a few words, and jumped off the roof in a few steps.

In front of Li Ke and others, he is half an elder, but in front of Zhang Sanfeng, he can only be regarded as a half-younger.

Although the status of the Liu family is based on strength, but he is not Zhang Sanfeng's opponent at all

Chapter 571 Anyway, he is the prince, and he has long been used to being scolded

The scenery in the mountains always makes people feel comfortable.

I had a bit of a meal last night, and I'm still not hungry yet, so Liu Bai planned to go for a walk and get some fresh air.

Anyway, I got up very late, so I might as well have lunch after waiting another hour.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes.

Liu Bai was taken aback, and after a closer look, he found out that it was Yuan Shoucheng.

I don't know where the old Taoist went last night, his eyes were blood red, and his Taoist robe was still wrinkled, with a few twigs hanging from his loose claws.

Smell it, the smell of sweat all over the body.

Liu Bai took a step back and said, "Where have you been?"

Yuan Shoucheng roared, and said, "Avoid disaster?! What kind of disaster did you avoid?! If the old man hadn't gone to Chang'an City overnight, you would still be in the dark!"

Liu Bai tugged at his ears, and said displeasedly: "Can't you speak well? How can you scare the Supreme Emperor by roaring so loudly?"

Yuan Shoucheng's face changed, and then he remembered that the Supreme Emperor lived next door to Liu Bai!

Helpless, no matter how big the anger is, I have to endure it.

You can tell by looking at his livid face that he was really frightened yesterday.

Liu Bai chuckled, and said, "It's just right, so I don't need to find someone to go to Chang'an to inquire about the news, let's talk as we go!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the old Taoist agreed or disagreed, he forcibly pulled him and strolled in the direction of Shangshanchi.

When he came here yesterday, Wang Ji vomited up Shangshan Pond in a mess. After he sobered up, he felt very embarrassed.

Shangshan Pond is the only available water source for Daomen on Mount Zhongnan.

Wang Ji sent people down the mountain overnight and invited a few craftsmen to dig a well outside Doulao Hall.

When Liu Bai strolled down, he happened to see the green ants directing the workers to work.

He greeted the green ants from a distance, picked up a dry pine cone from the ground, and played with it in the palm of his hand.

Seeing that Yuan Shoucheng's face was still ashen, Liu Bai spread his hands helplessly, and said, "It's not that I didn't say anything, the key is that you didn't even ask."

Yuan Shoucheng snorted heavily, and said, "For the sake of the lives of your whole family, the poor Taoist will not hesitate to use the retreat of the Taoist sect! It's good for you, you have cheated the poor Taoist so hard, and you are still like a normal person!"

Liu Bai stretched out three fingers to him.

Yuan Shoucheng turned his head away like a stubborn child, and said, "The three palaces in the district also want to appease the anger of the poor?"

Liu Bai said in surprise: "I didn't say to build three palaces for you, but three hundred palaces!"

Yuan Shoucheng flew into a rage again, and flung his sleeves to leave.

Liu Bai grabs him.

"Three palaces are three palaces!"

The old man is quite difficult to serve, isn't he just being played for a while?It's so greedy!

After receiving the promise of the three palaces, Yuan Shoucheng's anger also disappeared.

"Wang Shouren has already said that you didn't intend to hide it, you just wanted to find an opportunity to reason with him, it's just"

Yuan Shoucheng shook his arms and signaled Liu Bai to let go, "But, don't you think it's too much to pay such a high price just to reason with him?"

Liu Bai scratched his chin.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem.
