Taiping Inn

In one sentence, you can see the contradictory mentality of the people in the court facing Li Xuandu at this time.

He felt that he was "unrestrained" and even was ruthless, and was afraid of him. At this time, he did not dare to call him directly, and he respectfully called him "Mr. Qingping".

To use respectful titles to say that others are presumptuous is like having rebelled and having to abide by the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects. How distorted is it?

Li Xuandu said calmly: "What a rude. I am indeed rude and rude. I wonder what the Empress Dowager, Eunuch Yang, and Eunuch Liu are going to deal with me? It's a sign that throws the cup and invites the knife and axe driver in. Or are they poisoned in alcohol and sentenced to death on the spot?”

The words made everyone present change their qualities and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

In the end, Gu Yusheng took the initiative to break the solemnity and said smoothly: "The Zifu is so serious. There is no swordsman, so why do you poison the wine? It won't be like this, it won't be like this."

Li Xuan was indifferent and just looked at Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi put down the wine glass in her hand and said slowly, "Eunuch Yang, apologize to Mr. Qingping."

In terms of identity, Yang Lu was the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. He was named a slave and was known as the inner minister. He was on par with the chief minister of the outer court. He was similar to the identity of the steward in the aristocratic family. He was of a low position and was the Emperor of Tianbao. When Xie Zhi and Empress Dowager Xie Zhi were not regarded as slaves on weekdays.

At this time, Xie Zhi asked Yang Lu to apologize to Li Xuandu, which was a huge concession.

Yang Lu lowered his eyebrows and eyes. He was worthy of being the one who climbed from Nei Shutang step by step to the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. Although he was incomplete, he was considered a master and could bend and stretch. At this time, he raised his hand to reward him without hesitation. He took a palm and then wanted to hit him again.

"No need!" Li Xuan stopped him, "Eunuch Yang is right, I am indeed presumptuous."

Xie Zhi whispered: "Why should Mr. Qingping be so angry? I am really sincere in asking Mr. Qingping to come this time..."

"Then let's overturn the verdict and show me your sincerity." Li Xuan interrupted directly without listening to her.

Xie Zhi was blocked by Li Xuandu, and all the words were stuck in her throat. Ren was clever and thoughtful. When he met Li Xuandu's unreasonable behavior, it was also a scholar who met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly. Whenever he spoke, Li Xuan would definitely interrupt him. For a moment, Xie Zhi didn't know what to say.

After a while, Xie Zhi said, "Since Mr. Qingping said that, Eunuch Liu."

"Here." Liu Yi responded softly with a voice.

Xie Zhi asked, "You are the chief clerk of the Sili Supervisor, who is in charge of the Qingluan Guard General's Office. What should you do if you want to overturn the case?"

Liu Yi pondered: "We need to revisit the case files, interrogate witnesses, and re-examine them. If there is indeed an unjust case, the case should be reversed."

Xie Zhi said, "You should immediately notify the Three Justice Departments and review the case files of that year."

Liu Yi bowed and said, "Yes." Then he slowly retreated out of the door.

Xie Zhi looked at Li Xuandu and asked, "Now, is Mr. Qingping satisfied?"

Li Xuandu suddenly laughed: "This time I entered Beijing, although I did not have any official position, but just a commoner, but both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were tolerant of it everywhere. Logically speaking, I don't seem to be right. Going more and more. ”

Xie Zhi, Gu Yusheng, and Lou Xinqing were not at all happy, and their expressions became more and more serious. They knew that there must be another "but".

As expected, Li Xuandu continued, "But, whenever I think of those dead old friends, I feel uneasy and cannot allow me to retreat. I must have known my past experience. Two years later, I returned to Qingwei Sect. , almost lost everything. Zhang Baiyue died, the 'human world' was cut off, the realm of cultivation was lost, and even the identity of Mr. Fourth became embarrassing. No one took me seriously anymore, and anyone wanted to I stepped on it and beat the dog in the water. Fortunately, with the protection of my second senior brother, I could hide and reflect on what I did wrong."

Li Xuandu paused for a moment: "From the second year of Tianbao to the sixth year of Tianbao, I have figured out many things. In the past, I could only see one acre of three-point land in front of me, so I even had one acre of three-point land. Can't hold on. Because those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a territory. If I just want to take revenge, then I most likely cannot take revenge unless I can cultivate into the second zodiac immortal, which is invincible in the world. Then he rushed into the Imperial Palace alone. Not to mention whether I have that luck, even if I can become the second robbery earth immortal, how many enemies there are still in the world? That's really just drawing the sword and looking around. "

Li Xuandu reached out and pressed it on the table: "I have three teachers: one is good, one is bad, and the other is relatively modest father who cannot be described as good and bad. The good teacher is Zhang Xiang, and the bad teacher is the earth teacher. My father is the Great Sword Immortal. The three of them made me re-understand the world, what it looks like, and what it should be like. Correspondingly, the old man taught me the foundation of living, Zhang Xiang taught me where to go, The master let me know how to go. Because of this, I seemed to suddenly get enlightened and knew everything. There were few obstacles that could stop my steps, so I walked faster and faster, the sixth year of Tianbao and seventh year of Tianbao In the eight years and the eighth year of Tianbao, less than three years later, I walked here and sat opposite the Empress Dowager, and asked the Empress Dowager to listen to my principles."

Xie Zhi remained silent.

Gu Yusheng and Lou Xinqing were also silent.

Li Xuandu laughed at himself: "The people close to me all said bluntly that I am a good teacher, and the Empress Dowager must be very impatient, right?"

"Mr. Qingping is talking about this." Xie Zhi finally spoke, "It is a great honor to hear Mr. Qingping reveal his heart."

Li Xuandu drank all the wine in the glass and curled his smile: "The Empress Dowager's words are insincere. If I were to change places, I would not feel honored to sit in the Empress Dowager's position."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan looked at the wine glass in front of him and said, "Empress Dowager, at this point, do you still have to endure it?"

Xie Zhi waved his hand, Gu Yusheng stood up, and left Fuwang Pavilion with Lou Xinqing and Eunuch Ma, only Yang Lu was still standing beside Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi no longer insisted on being low and small. She sat upright, looked straight at Li Xuandu, and said, "I really didn't expect that the kindness of one thought back then would have caused the great trouble today."

Li Xuandu said: "A thought of kindness may not be necessary. Most of the time, I think it is not cost-effective. I risked offending the old man and the second senior brother and killed a useless person. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss of money. If it were me, I wouldn't do it. .”

Xie Zhi asked, "So what does Mr. Qingping want to give up? Do you want my neck? Or do you want a new world as Mr. Qingping himself said?"

Li Xuandu said, "The Empress Dowager asked two questions, but in my opinion, this is actually a question and does not conflict."

Xie Zhi narrowed her eyes: "Mr. Qingping means that only when I die can I change my new world."

Li Xuan didn't deny it and asked back, "Isn't it?"

Xie Zhi said, "Mr. Qingping went to the meeting alone. Do you think no one in this palace can do anything to you?"

Li Xuandu said, "I don't think so, but I don't think the palace is more dangerous than the Dazhen Mansion."

Xie Zhi's face changed slightly.

At this moment, a faint mist gradually filled the Fu Wang Pavilion, and at some point, a ray of incense burned in each of the four corners.

Li Xuandu took a deep breath and said calmly: "'Returning Soul Incense'."

Xie Zhi said, "As far as I know, the 'Returning Soul Incense' is not only useful to the great masters of the Heavenly Realm, but also those who live forever will be affected."

Li Xuandu said: "That's right, even the immortals cannot completely ignore the effect of the "soul-returning fragrance". As long as the amount of the "soul-returning fragrance" is sufficient, it will make the immortals lose all their cultivation in a short period of time. It is not impossible. But to find so many "returning soul incense", you can only go to the Chiming Palace in "Xuandu Purple Palace". "

Of course, Li Xuandu still remembers that Mr. Shen Wuyou wanted to use a large number of "returning souls" in Chiming Palace to plot against the earth master Xu Wugui. Unfortunately, he failed with one move and in the end he failed. Therefore, he died.

Li Xuandu said: "But if the 'Returning Soul Incense' does not distinguish between us, you two will naturally be unable to escape, and the impact will be far better than me."

Xie Zhi smiled when she heard this: "This is impossible. Mr. Qingping has a high level of cultivation and a sensitive perception. If I don't use myself as bait, how can I catch Mr. Qingping's giant whale in the East China Sea? It's considered a loss."

Li Xuandu still didn't care.

Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Qingping probably thought that these 'soul-returning incense' only make your cultivation worse, and it is far from being lost. It is easy to take my life now."

Li Xuan didn't say anything, just pretend to be accused.

Xie Zhi continued, "Mr. Qingping is not the only way to fight against the world, but he is rarely a fight. But I am just a weak woman. I can only accomplish things by using other people's hands. I have no strange ability. Only by spending more time than others can I Win. So besides 'Returning Soul Incense', there are other backup moves."

"You and I have a backup plan, so it depends on who has a more powerful backup plan and who has a more meticulous plan." Li Xuan said calmly, "Are the Empress Dowager curious about why I didn't take action to take your life? I also It might as well say that I am still waiting for the Empress Dowager to overturn the case for Zhang Xiang. So please rest assured that you did not kill people by yourself back then, and today I will not kill you by yourself, but will let the Three Justice Departments interrogate and convict them before they can be clear. Punishment will tell the world, let you die openly."

A trace of gloom flashed through Xie Zhi's eyes, and he said, "Then we will rely on our own abilities to see who can survive to the end."

After the words came, the pseudo-immortals slowly walked into Fuwang Pavilion, led by Chen Mian and Nalan Xu. They had not inhaled the "soul-returning fragrance", so their cultivation was naturally undestructive. The first thing they did when they came in was to The burning "soul-returning incense" is extinguished.
