"Youzhou?" Not far away, Li Yun, who could hear this, frowned and looked at Li Shi.

The latter shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then whispered: "When you meet the Taoist chief, you talk less and be more respectful, that person not only has a great influence, but also has real talent and learning, if you can get his help, my Li family will not be far away!" ”

Thinking like this, the two asked a guard at the door to go in and report, and waited for the letter before setting foot in it.

The main hall furnishings of this Taoist temple are not very rich, and even in the eyes of the Li brothers, it can be called simple, especially that Li Yun, he came here for the first time, and he saw the oil lamp lit on the corridor before, and he felt that the Taoist temple was extravagant, but when he entered this room, he couldn't help frowning.

In the empty hall, there are simple furnishings, and the innermost is a slender shrine, which seems to be made of stone, and it is modeled on the style of Buddhism, enshrined with two statues of gods, but with Li Yun's knowledge, he can't tell the origin of these two.

In front of the statue, there are several futons, on which two people are sitting and talking.

One of them was a Taoist priest with a white beard, kind eyebrows, smiling, his shoulders were extremely broad, he held up his Taoist robe, and the whole person sat upright, but he exuded a smell of fairy wind and bones.

"No wonder the third brother was impressed by this person, came to visit him repeatedly, and wanted to invite him out of the mountain, at least this skin looks a little extraordinary." Sun Yun muttered, and his gaze immediately fell on the person opposite Lao Dao.

This is a majestic-looking man, sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking casual and free, but his expression is very serious, and he is talking to the man—

"If the Immortal Chief leaves, what will happen to the disciples of this Shu land? Who will preach for them? ”

His voice was very loud, it seemed that it was because of some emotional fluctuations, and Li Shi and Li Yunneng could hear the words inside at the door just now, also because of this person's loud voice.

This person is the master of most of the Shu land at the moment, Li Xiong.

"What General Li means, Lao Dao knows," the Daoist still looked kind, but the words he said made Li Yun, who was listening, his eyelids jump, "At the moment, your Li family is in danger of destruction, so I have come to visit Lao Dao many times." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Yundeng couldn't help it, and took the initiative to jump out, "My Li family now occupies the entire Yizhou, I waited for my uncle to lead the Northern Expedition a few days ago and took most of Liangzhou, and the entire Shu land is about to fall into his hands, where is the disaster of destruction!" Why are you alarmist? ”

"Oh?" Lao Dao raised his eyes slightly, looked at Li Yun, and was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "This should be General Li Yun, right?" I heard that you once led troops to attack the reinforcements of the imperial court and destroyed them, and several generals who led the troops were even beheaded, and they were a good man. ”

Li Yun heard the old words, talking about his own smugness, and couldn't help but be more angry, and was about to say a few more words, but was stopped by Li Shi with his eyes, followed by Li Xiong also glared, and said lightly: "Li Yun, you must not be rude in front of the immortal chief, you go and wait outside." ”

This was undoubtedly to drive him out directly, Li Yun's face turned red, and he was about to say two sentences.

Instead, the old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Why should the general be like this, this General Li Yun is also a lucky person, he should rise up, since he is here, he has his fate, it is better to listen to it here." ”

Li Xiong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can stay first." ”

Li Yun didn't have to worry about being kicked out, but he didn't have any good feelings for that Taoist in his heart, but when he saw his brother and the head of the family, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, but he also knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he forcibly pressed the words in his heart, thinking about listening to what this strange Taoist priest had to say first, and if there were any loopholes, he could expose him.

Lao Dao didn't look at Li Yun, and said to Li Xiong: "General, your family, originally favored by the imperial court, moved to Shu, but as a result, there were many rebellions since Ling Zun......"

"Dao Chief," at this time, Li Shi couldn't help but speak, "The reason why we and the other Di people entered Sichuan was not voluntary, but because of the imperial court's practical policy, they were forcibly relocated to fill the population of Sichuan, and it was also presided over by that Heavenly Master at that time. ”

It turned out that Li Xiong's lineage was a Di people, who moved in at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhang Lu of the Wudou Mi Sect ruled Hanzhong, according to their own words, it was forced by the imperial court, but there were many rumors among the people, saying that they saw an opportunity to take advantage of it and came on their own.

The old Taoist obviously intended to dwell on this matter, and continued: "However, the nobles rebelled several times before, and the imperial court tolerated it, and even Zhao'an many times, and several of them were also generals in Shu......

Hearing this, Li Yun couldn't help but speak out again: "The imperial court just threw a few bones, just wanted us to sell our lives, the so-called generals are simply bare poles, there is no one below, even the soldiers and horses that were originally waiting for us have been transferred to other people's commands!" ”

Li Xiong also nodded and said: "We are waiting for a foothold, that is, relying on the soldiers and horses, if we don't do it again, we have no intention of sitting still, and when the soldiers and horses are lost, it will be the period when we will die!" ”

Lao Dao nodded, and then suddenly said: "But you have killed the prince of the Guanghan King this time!" ”

Suddenly, the entire lobby fell into an eerie silence.

Lao Dao looked at the three people in front of him, sighed and said: "Originally, no matter how many people are paying attention, making a fuss, so that the above can throw rat traps, whether they dare to understand your soldiers and horses, or if they really have the heart to do a career, there is still room for turnaround, but there is no turning back after killing the prince of Guanghan, that king of Guanghan, now you are the regent, Lu Shangshu, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, is the person in power of the Liu family's generation, his son was killed, and he can no longer step down, otherwise there is no face, so you have no way to retreat, you can only take Chengdu." , but in this way, there is no turning back. ”

Li Xiong, Li Shi, and Li Yun were all silent, as if they remembered something.

At present, their situation seems to be majestic on the surface, but in fact, it is full of dangers, and they have even had to come to the point where they are now.

"Now, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Shu have almost been scattered by you, but the army of the imperial court has been repulsed, which does not mean that they have mastered a piece of land, and some people below are not convinced, so General Li thought of the old way and remembered the way of the heavenly master! The Five Doumi Sect is scattered, and Shu respects the Heavenly Master, if there is the help of the old way, then the people's hearts can be cared for, even if the Li family enters the Shu land, it may not be impossible. ”

When Li Shi and Li Yun heard this, their expressions changed.

Li Xiong, on the other hand, sighed, then stood up, bowed respectfully to Fan Changsheng, and asked sincerely, "I don't know how the immortal chief can agree?" ”

Fan Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The general wants to worship Lao Dao as a teacher, and he can do it himself, but he has to do one thing for Lao Dao first." ”

Li Xiong asked very dryly, "What's the matter?" ”

The old Taoist smiled and did not answer immediately, and not far behind him, a young man who was kneeling on the wall stood up, walked slowly, came behind the old Taoist, and knelt down again.

Only then did the old Taoist priest say: "My apprentice's name is Zhang Xuan, and the general is tired of sending some men to escort him to Youzhou!" ”
