Taiping Inn

Luzhou is separated from Jiangzhou by river, and Wuzhou is separated from Jiangzhou by only one state. The meeting place between Li Xuandu and the great master Zhang Jingxiu was set in Jinling Prefecture in Jiangzhou. By the way, the two of them can also visit Yan Feiqing who is cultivating here.

Although there is no sect in Jiangzhou, Cihang Sect is on Putuo Island in the South China Sea. Just like the relationship between Qingwei Sect and Qizhou in the East China Sea, the relationship between Butian Sect and Liaozhou in the North China Sea, the same is true for Cihang Sect and Jiangzhou in the South China Sea. Only Su Yun-woo, the eldest daughter of the local powerful Su family in Jiangzhou, would be worshipped into the Cihang Sect, just as the children of the Lu family in Qizhou were worshipped into the Qing Wei Sect, and the children of the Qin family in Liaozhou were worshipped into the Butian Sect.

The Qian family has a close relationship with the Taiping Sect, the Su family has a close relationship with the Cihang Sect, and the Taiping Sect has already greeted the Qian family in advance. After Li Xuandu went to Jiangzhou, he stayed in the Qian family's other courtyard.

This time, Li Xuan and Zhang Jingxiu met, not in private, so they would not act secretly. Li Xuan and both represented neutral sects such as Taiping Sect and Jingzen Sect. Zhang Jingxiu represented the righteous sects headed by Zhengyi Sect, and both of them would Carry your entourage and agree on the next peace talks.

Li Xuan had decided on the candidates. In addition to Qin Suhe Yechi, he also chose Shen Yuanzhou, who had deep friendship with the Qian family, and Sikong Zao, who had friendship with the Zhengdao sects, Mrs. Lu and Shen Yuanzhai, who were left behind in the sects. Although there are few people on the Jing Zen Sect, they are nominally one of the twelve sects, so they also have to send representatives, so they go from Fang Yuan and Yuan Jue. Finally, Li Xuandu called Shen Changsheng's name again, allowing him to follow him and increase his knowledge.

This action can be seen as Li Xuan is fulfilling his promise or as Li Xuan is in the heart of Mrs. Anlu, because in order to win Mrs. Lu's support for him in the sect, Li Xuan has once paid tribute to Mrs. Lu. Promise that if Mr. Shen cannot come back in the future, he will pass the position of sect leader to Shen Changsheng. However, the sect leader was not refined in one day. Before Li Xuan took office as the sect leader of Taiping Sect, he was already the fourth gentleman of Taiping Sect. He had many followers and was one of the reserve candidates for the sect leader of Qingwei Sect, so it was natural to become the sect leader. But Shen Changsheng is different. He has never had any experience in this area and must be taken by others by example.

On the second day of the second month, Long Jiantou and Li Xuandu left Huainan Prefecture, transferred from land to water, and went to Jiangzhou through Fengyin Prefecture, Jiuhe Prefecture, and Anqing Prefecture. Along the way, Li Xuan was very moved. The last time he took this road, there were only Zhou Shuning and Hu Liang beside him, which was a little embarrassed. But now he has many followers around him and his status is quite good. Anyone who is in the world is a famous master. Now it depends on Li Xuandu's expression. The ups and downs of life are just like that.

Nanshan Garden stands high on the top of the mountain. When the big ship sailed through the river, a vague shadow could be seen from afar. Li Xuandu pointed to the direction of Nanshan Garden and said to Qin Su beside him: "Human hearts are like water with ripples. I am very energetic when I was young. At that time, there was a conflict with Zhengyi Sect. In addition to chasing a disciple of Zhengyi Sect, he also saved a disciple of Zhenchuan Sect from a group of Zhengyi Sect disciples on the banks of the river. The man was named Chen Guhong , here I built Nanshan Garden and settled down. It was also considered a number one figure in the local world. Later, I settled in Nanshan Garden with Tianliang and Shuning, but he joined forces with the people of Huntian Sect to seek me and eventually led to self-destruction."

Qin Su whispered: "The five sects in Liaodong are not the same. My father is nominally the leader of the five sects in Liaodong, but what he can really master is the Butian Sect and Wangqing Sect. Tianle Sect left Liaodong early and settled in Zhongzhou. In fact, It was riding a fence between Liaodong and the northwest, but after Zuichunfeng's death, Tianlezong sealed the mountain and closed the sect and turned to the Zifu as its leader. As for the Zhenchuan Sect and Huntian Sect, they were the people of Empress Dowager Xie. In the early years, , can maintain the harmony on the surface, but as the contradiction between the court and Liaodong intensified, the four sects had broken apart. In terms of relationships, their relationship with the Qingwei Sect is even more important than that of Butian Sect and Wangqing Sect Nearer."

Li Xuandu joked, "Sir, please treat each other with admiration after three days. I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the Sect Master Qin really looks like the Sect Master."

Qin Su snorted lightly, "Who do you look down on?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I dare not."

Qin Su said: "The five sects in the northwest are worthy of their name. Although Yin-Yang Sect and Zaoge Sect are located in Beimang Mountain in Zhongzhou, they are not far from the northwest. In contrast, the five sects in Liaodong, only the Butian Sect and the Wangqing Sect remain in Liaodong, which has long been in name only. It should be called the Liaodong Sect."

Li Xuandu asked, "Where have Huntian Sect and Zhenchuan Sect gone?"

"Brother Xuan asked knowingly." Qin Su said softly: "These two sects naturally followed their master to the imperial capital."

Li Xuandu sighed: "The imperial capital is good, it is best for the imperial capital in the world. If we have the opportunity, we should also go to the imperial capital to see the most prosperous scenery in the world."

Qin Su knew that he was talking sarcastically. Just as he was about to answer, he saw Shen Yuanzhou coming out of the cabin and walking towards the two of them. So Qin Su kept silent.

Shen Yuanzhou is easy-going by nature and does not restrict etiquette. When Li Xuan was in a downturn, Shen Yuanzhou did not act like a master. Now Li Xuandu is the leader of Taiping Sect. Shen Yuanzhou does not deliberately curry favor with Li Xuandu in private. When I arrived, I heard his smile first, "I wonder what the two sect leaders are talking about?"

Li Xuandu had a great impression of Shen Yuanzhou, otherwise he would not have allowed him to take over as the position of Shen Yuanzhong as the Great Elder, and joked: "Elder Shen can calculate, can't you guess it? It's said that the matchmaker's words are said by his parents. Speaking of matchmakers, Elder Shen is our matchmaker."

Shen Yuanzhou pretended to be surprised and said, "I remembered that Miss Qin asked me for my marriage. I still remember the signature. Are you a good partner? A god and a beautiful wife. What else do you want? This is the signing king. As the saying goes, right? A good partner, a fairy and beautiful couple, will grow old for a hundred years, and there is no need to find a good relationship. A piece of gold is a good money. In the future, when Zifu married Miss Qin, I, as a matchmaker, have to be shameless to ask for a cup of wedding wine."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "This is natural."

Qin Su's face turned slightly red and she lowered her head. The hexagram was still in her Sumeru treasure, but no one knew about this, and even Li Xuandu had never told her.

Li Xuandu said seriously: "Elder Shen's way of divination is not the best in the world, but also the second in the world. This hexagram of the gods of gods and beautiful relatives, not only one Taiping money, but one hundred Taiping money is also worth."

Seeing that Li Xuan was becoming less and less sensible, Qin Su had to cough lightly.

Li Xuandu laughed and said, "I always thought that Bai Juan and I met in Qizhou, but the fate started from Anqing Mansion."

Qin Su asked, "What did you think of Elder Shen that day? Is it also a marriage?"

Li Xuandu said, "At that time, I was going to Jinling Prefecture to rescue the Qin Governor. The good and bad luck were unpredictable, so I was testing the good and bad luck. Shen Changlao said that I had the trouble of adding to my body, which was also fulfilled."

Qin Su responded softly.

Li Xuandu pointed to the direction of Guinanshan Garden again, "There is a Lingxiu Villa on the back mountain of Nanshan Garden, which is said to have a lot of connection with Taiping Sect."

Shen Yuanzhai sighed lightly, "I know that the ancestors of the He family are the elders of this sect in this villa. The He family pays tribute to this sect every year, and this sect also provides protection. However, the descendants of the He family are not successful and have only eight supernatural powers, but Even the cultivation level of the innate realm. If it weren't for the reputation of Taiping Sect, it would have been impossible to gain a foothold in the world. In the past two years when Taiping Sect closed the mountain, Lingxiu Villa had a hard time, but he was left at his doorstep. Who can be blamed for bullying outsiders? You can’t count on Taiping Sect in everything. Even Taiping Sect has times when you can’t take care of yourself.”

Li Xuandu said: "That's true, the Taiping Sect is no longer closed. Some things still need to be managed. Luzhou is the backyard of Taiping Sect and cannot be tolerated by others. Therefore, the fence stakes must be slaughtered. , weeds like Nanshan Garden should be removed, and flowers and plants like Lingxiu Villa should be treated well, watered, and fertilized."

Shen Yuanzhou was stunned, then understood what Li Xuandu meant, curled his smile, and said seriously: "Yes."

In the next few days, the ship went downstream and passed by Ping'an County halfway. Li Xuandu talked to Qin Su about Long Xiaotian, a lay disciple of Jingzen Buddhism, and it was inevitable that he would mention the palace official. Qin Su vaguely heard some rumors that the palace girl was quite affectionate towards Li Xuan, but unfortunately, the fallen flowers were intentionally and ruthless, and there was no fruit. Qin Su had met the palace official, and there was no clue in the Qingping Association. I think the palace official is also a person with high hearts, so he would not be shameless and would not be so shameless to pester.

However, Qin Su would also think that if there was no distinction between good and evil, or if the palace officials were not from the five sects in the northwest, would Li Xuan accept it? Qin Suben is not a stingy woman, but he is confused when he cares about it, and he is inevitably worried about gains and losses. But she thought about it and the two were about to get married and would soon become husband and wife. Since they became husband and wife, they would naturally stay together for the rest of their lives. Just like the book says, there are two people in a lifetime.

Li Xuandu's thoughts were no longer about his love for his children. His thoughts had already floated to Jinling Mansion and Penglai Island, and he expected to see the master and the great master. The situation is now very clear. The Great Heavenly Master no longer cares about the court, but only cares about the world. He wants to connect with the twelve sects of righteous paths inwards, connect with the various sects in Liaodong, and kill the evil paths. The master went to another extreme. He didn't care about the evil path, he was more concerned about the court. When it comes to the court, it involves Liaodong, which is a dead end, and there are also people like Li Daoshi, Li Yuanying, Gu Yusheng, Li Taiyi and others who interfere. This middle-aged man in Li Xuandu is really difficult to do. There are many things involved and are very extensive, which involves major events in the entire world, so Li Xuan had to interview Zhang Jingxiu.

On the sixth day of the second month, Li Xuandu and his group arrived at Jinling Mansion. Qian Qingbai, the eldest elder of the Qian family, and Qian Jiner, the head of the Qian family, led a group of Qian family's children and guest officials to welcome him.

Li Xuandu walked off the board, bowed to Qian Qingbai and said, "I'm going to welcome you in person if you have any money."

Qian Qingbai smiled and said, "What's the matter with Zi Gong? The last time I saw Zi Gong was at the ceremony of Zi Gong's promotion. At that time, Zi Gong was the lord and a guest. Today, I am the lord and Zi Gong is the lord. Guests, I naturally cannot lose the courtesy of treating guests.”
