Taiping Inn

Li Taiyi glanced at both parties and said, "You two are also Jianghu people. One of you is backed by Taiping Sect, and the other is backed by Wangqing Sect. But I also want to remind you that the leaders of Taiping Sect and Wangqing Sect are now in Beihai Prefecture. You don't have to go back to be punished for making trouble here. You can accept the punishment directly. It's nothing to mess up the job, but it's not good to leave an impression of being unworthy and unable to take on a big responsibility in the minds of the two leaders."

This can be regarded as Li Taiyi's feelings. Isn't he trying to change Li Xuandu's impression of him now? After all, people are under the eaves.

Qian Yurong and Murong Fu were shocked at the same time.

Qian Yurong was more sincere and clasped her fists again and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reminding me."

Murong Fu also hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Li Taiyi told the shopkeeper outside the door, "Bring up a pot of the best tea."

The shopkeeper took the order and left.

After a while, a pot of tea and three cups were delivered.

Li Taiyi personally held the kettle and filled three cups. The steam was boiling, and the green buds floated to the surface of the covered bowl, all floating there vertically. Although it was not the tea picked before the Ming Dynasty this year, but the tea that was sealed before the Ming Dynasty last year and shipped to Qizhou by sea, it was still good tea.

Qian Yurong and Murong Fu watched Li Taiyi pouring tea and had to praise him. What a style. It seemed that this Mr. Liu was more spiritual than Huangfu Yuxiu. Even if he didn't use a sword, he just poured tea, he had a chic demeanor. It seemed that some people were born much higher than others. No wonder this Mr. Liu had the title of a banished immortal.

Unfortunately, a banished immortal was still no match for a real immortal, so this Mr. Liu was still defeated by Mr. Qingping, and was very embarrassed and miserable.

Li Taiyi put down the teapot, picked up a teacup first, and said: "In this case, please do me, Li Taiyi, and Qingwei Sect a favor and turn hostility into friendship. What do you think?"

Qian Yurong and Murong Fu looked at each other, each holding a cup of tea, and said: "I dare not."

"Let's use tea instead of wine, drink this cup, and laugh away all grudges." Li Taiyi drank the tea in the cup.

The two also drank the tea in the cup.

However, they were also a little curious. They all said that Mr. Liu was domineering and arrogant, but today they saw that it was completely different from the rumors. It can be seen that the rumors in the world cannot be believed. Of course, it is also possible that Mr. Liu's temperament changed drastically after he fell into despair, and finally turned from evil to good. It is possible that he can turn a disaster into a blessing and be re-employed by Mr. Qingping.

In any case, a war was eliminated.

Li Taiyi did not draw his sword, but only used a few words to resolve the dispute with his identity and background in the Qingwei Sect. Although there were still many unsatisfactory aspects, it was a good start.

At this time, the real owner of the teahouse finally arrived. Seeing Li Taiyi, regardless of his age, he immediately saluted and said, "Sixth Uncle."

Although Situ Xuance, Zhang Haishi, and Lu Yanbing were not from the Li family, and Li Taiyi was not the sixth in the Li family, many Li family members were still accustomed to the title of "Mr. Six" and directly called him "Sixth Uncle" or "Sixth Uncle".

Li Taiyi waved his hand, turned around and left the place, returning to his private room.

Qian Yurong was a careful person. She noticed something unusual in the attitude of this Li family member. If Li Taiyi really lost power, how could these Li family members dare to be so close to him under the eyes of Li Xuandu? Could it be that Li Taiyi did not lose power? In fact, Li Xuandu treated his two brothers in two completely different attitudes?

The two Qian family worshippers who followed Qian Yurong looked at each other and sighed.

Once upon a time, they could still be friends with Mr. Qingping, but now it is difficult to even meet him. This time when they came to Qizhou, they had planned to visit him, but when they arrived at the door of the Li family's ancestral home early in the morning and saw the scene of people coming and going, they backed out. It is a courtesy and a rule for the Li family to pay New Year's greetings. They only have a little friendship, so how can they be so shameless to visit him?

From beginning to end, Li Xuandu never showed up, and no one even knew that Li Xuandu was here.

However, Li Xuandu could not hide what happened over there. Seeing Li Taiyi coming back, Li Xuandu smiled a little and praised generously: "Donghuang, you did a good job. If you want to control Qingwei Sect, you must use both kindness and force, and you must also pay attention to the means."

"Use both kindness and force." Li Taiyi suddenly asked, "If someone close to you makes a big mistake, such as ruining the reputation of a woman, and then the Confucian sect seizes this opportunity to attack the Taoist sect, confuse people, and cause suspicion and dissatisfaction among people all over the world, then what will you do?"

Li Xuandu said in a calm tone: "If this is true, I will have to learn from Wu Hou. But I don't want such a thing to happen. I hope you can be cautious in your words and deeds and don't give me the opportunity to show your power."

Li Taiyi's face was serious, and he didn't doubt Li Xuandu's determination at all.

Li Taiyi asked, "Brother, why don't you go meet some old acquaintances?"

Li Xuandu laughed, "How did you know?"

Li Taiyi suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, so he could only answer truthfully, "When I invited you to fight at Wangxiantai, I visited my third sister-in-law before that, and it was my third sister-in-law who told me all of you whereabouts."

Li Xuandu was not surprised, "I see. The reason why I don't meet them is not because I don't recognize old friends, but because the current situation in Qizhou is not to involve them."

Li Taiyi hesitated for a moment: "Senior brother is talking about the Soji Academy and the Saint's Mansion."

Li Xuan didn't mind revealing some key information to this junior brother: "I plan to transfer the Yin-Yang Sect to Qizhou to help us."

A simple sentence made Li Taiyi feel the great power of this senior brother, and mobilized the sect to Qizhou. No wonder everyone said that he was the future leader of the Taoist sect. If you really want to elect a great leader, these sect leaders and real people are Li Xuandu's subordinates and allies. Who can compete for it?

Li Taiyi said: "Speaking of this, I still have some grudges with Yin and Yang Sect."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I mean, be more open-minded and have a tolerance. The Li family in the world was a family five hundred years ago. Speaking of which, our Li family also had an emperor, the subordinate of Emperor Taizong. There are many people who have been his opponents, so just as you said, just smile to eliminate grudges.”

Li Taiyi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

This is the difference between Li Taiyi and Lu Yanbing. Lu Yanbing agrees or not, and then talks about the rest later. However, Li Taiyi was not willing to act against his will. As long as he nodded, he would truly recognize him.

Li Xuandu said, "In addition, I also plan to kill people. Would you like to be a villain for Hui brother?"

Mrs. Li was shocked, but she was not afraid and refused. She agreed immediately: "Senior brother told me to do so."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not now."

The two sat for a while, drank the tea and then got up and left the teahouse.

Li Xuan didn't want to hang out anymore and was about to return to his ancestral home. Li Taiyi was so happy, although he had begun to learn to change his mind.

...

Zhili, Bohai Prefecture.

Shangguan Wan met Murong Hua who was hiding here, and the two sisters had a great time talking.

Murong Hua asked, "Why didn't you see the Siming Official?"

Shangguan Wan said: "Siming Guan has returned to the Li family genealogy and has rushed back to worship his ancestors one step ahead of time."

Murong Hua nodded.

Shangguan Wan said again: "In addition, the title of 'Siming Official' is outdated. I have rearranged the order of Ming officials, namely the Ming official Li Shixing, the second Ming official Zhong Wu, the Sanming official Wang Zhongfu, and the Siming official Zhuge Zun. , Wuming Official Wei Zhen. "

"In general, the second Ming official Zhong Wu and the Sanming official Wang Zhongfu did not move. The Siming official replaced the dead Wang Tianxiao and became the Ming official, and the remaining two were replaced one by one. There were five people in total. As for why There are two reasons why Mr. Li became this Ming official. The first reason is that he is the first person to return to the Yin-Yang Sect. He has the role of leading the way and cannot be ignored. The second reason is that he is a member of the Li family after all, so he also needs to give it to him. Senior brother, just give me a face."

"At the beginning, the ten Ming officials each had their own strengths and responsibilities. The family master intended to build Yin-Yang Sect and Zaoge Sect into two sects, and Yin-Yang Sect was the upper and lower sects. The Yin-Yang Sect was the upper sect, and the human hand was more expensive than the essence, but they were all masters. Zaoge Sect is the lowest sect, and the number of people is more expensive than the essence. It wins by quantity. It is called two sects, but actually one sect, which is not inferior to the Qing Wei sect and Zhengyi sect, and can even compete with Wudao Sect. Now the family master is promoted. , I was able to take charge of the Yin-Yang Sect, with little virtue and weak strength, and I dare not ask for the top ten Ming officials. Half of them were already satisfied. "

Murong Hua said, "How old is my sister and she will grow up in the future. One day, my sister will be able to revive the Yin-Yang Sect and reappear the grand occasion of the top ten Ming officials."

Shangguan Wan smiled and said, "Then I will borrow my auspicious words from my sister. By the way, I am here to say goodbye to my sister this time."

"Sister is leaving Bohai Mansion?" Murong Hua was a little surprised, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shangguan Wan restrained her smile and said seriously: "The boss came to a letter and asked Mr. Ning and I to lead people to Qizhou separately. Bohai Mansion will get rid of my sister."

"What matters are in charge." Murong Hua's face showed a serious look and hesitated for a moment, "Did the boss say what's going on?"

Shangguan Guan said with a serious expression: "If what I expected is right, I should start a war with the Confucian Sect. Qizhou is the birthplace of the Confucian Sect. The sage was born here, and the sub-sage was born here. The position was important. Once the war started, it was really If you touch your whole body with one move, maybe Qizhou will become a decisive battle between the Confucian and Taoist families, so my sister must also make preparations.”

Murong Hua focused his attention and instructed him: "Sister, be careful when he goes here."

Shangguan Wan nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

Wei Zhen has contacted three other Ming officials, who will go to Qizhou separately and eventually meet at the Qi Prince's Mansion.

In addition, in addition to Xu Jiu who is in Zhongnan Mountain and Xu Qi who is in Jianxiu Mountain, Xu San and Xu Shisan will also come.
