The rivers and lakes are so big, not to mention the twenty-two sects of good and evil, in addition to the ten people on the Taixuan list, there are many hidden masters, and even people who are not in the temples of the rivers and lakes. It just so happens that these five people are in the southeast, northwest and middle, namely: Li Daoxu in the East China Sea, Taiyun in the northwest, Zhang Jingxiu in the south, Qin Qing in the north, and Xu Wugui in the world.

Among the five people, Qin Qing ranked last because he had not yet set foot in the realm of immortality, and the time for Taiyun to be promoted to the realm of immortality was too short, and it was also recognized that he was slightly inferior to the other three immortal immortals, but the Great Heavenly Master, Earth Master, The old sword god is higher and which is lower, but there is no conclusion, after all, the great heavenly master and the earth master have fought several times, and they all have some meaning of stopping at the point, and they have not been able to distinguish the winner or loser, and the old sword god has never fought with the two, but the more unified opinion is that the great heavenly master has two immortal objects in his palm, and the earth master and the old sword god only have one immortal object, if it is a life and death fight, maybe the great heavenly master will have the upper hand. However, these are all speculations on the rivers and lakes, and they cannot be taken seriously or counted.

Then again, these five masters are not reckless figures who fight alone, all of them are princes of the big family, only in terms of their respective powers, on the surface, they are the most powerful, but in fact, the five of them are almost the same, although Qin Qing is not as personal as the other four, but the world knows that the reason why Zhao Zheng can dominate Liaodong, the whole army and the military, It is precisely because of the strong support of a number of Liaodong heroes and strongmen, and the Liaodong heroes are headed by the Qin family, plus the five Liaodong sects headed by the Replenishing Heaven Sect, it is self-evident what kind of status Qin Qing has in Liaodong. That's why some people call Qin Qing the "King of Liao" who has not been canonized by the imperial court.

Li Xuandu didn't feel this deeply before, and it wasn't until he entered Yuguan that he really felt the power of this Qin Shishu. The name of the Yuguan guard is Fang Zhixin, who is Zhao Zheng's confidant. The Great Wei court is divided into honorable officers, scattered ranks, and actual awards, as far as Zhao Zheng is concerned, his full name is the governor of Liaodong and other places to supervise military affairs, food and salary, and governors, and the title of the secretary of the military department and the left deputy capital of the Supervision Yuan, the special entry Guanglu doctor, and the Zhu State. Among them, the governor is a real grant, that is, an official position with real power, because he wants to lead the troops, so he adds the title of secretary of the military department. The special Jin Guanglu doctor is a loose rank, and has no real power, but it symbolizes the good luck and treatment, the special Jin Guanglu doctor is a positive product, the civil officials from the special Jin Guanglu doctor to the general Shi Zuolang, a total of 42 ranks, and the military attaché from the special Jin Guanglu doctor to the Zhongxian captain, a total of 30 ranks. Each grade is divided into initial award, promotion and additional award. They were awarded by the Department of Seal Inspection of the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Military Selection. Shangzhu is a meritorious officer, Wenxun is a tenth-level, Wuxun is a six-rank twelve-order, Zhengyipin is a left and right pillar country, from a product is a pillar country, the biggest difference with the title is that the title can be passed down to descendants, and the rank can be extended upwards, take Zhao Zheng as an example, the imperial court sealed him a pillar country from a product, then his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather can get the corresponding gifts. If it is a military attaché, there is also a saying that there is a seal,

In the event of a major battle, the seal of the general or the general, the former general, and the deputy general will be hung up, and the troops will be led to the battle, and the matter will be returned, and the general will be called the seal. There are three seals of the generals, namely: the general of the conquest, the general of the Pingyu, and the general of Zhenshuo. When Qin Xiang went to the northwest as a military attaché, he hung the seal of the general of Pingyu.

Fang Zhixin's official position is the deputy general, that is, the deputy general soldier second only to the chief military officer, the deputy general soldier, the chief military officer and the governor, like the governor and governor, were originally very set up official positions, but they were only temporarily added, so there is no rank, but he also has the official position of the commander, which belongs to the third rank, and there is also the loose rank of the general of Fengguo, that is, from the second rank, and because of his meritorious service in the battle with the Golden Horde, as well as the rank of captain of the light car on the third rank, he is a veritable member from the second rank. But such a character, after seeing Qin Su, he was still petty and welcomed, and he had the meaning of treating Qin Su as the county lord's mother, from this point of view, it was not groundless for Qin Qing to be called the "King of Liao".

Li Xuandu saw this scene, and he was disappointed, but he was also expected.

The Confucian scholars and doctors imagined that the world of Datong and the peace of the world do not exist, and Liaodong is not Li Xuandu's ideal pure land after all, but there is no pure land in the world, but it is just to find a less bad one in the worse, Li Xuandu has always been riding a donkey to find a horse, and may not be able to find the thousand miles horse he wants in his life, but the road still has to be walked, and it is better to have a donkey to ride than to walk.

At night, Li Xuandu climbed to the top of the city alone, pressed his hands on the cold and piercing battlements, and looked at the land of Liaodong on the other side. Naturally, there were soldiers patrolling the city, but because Fang Zhixin had already greeted him in advance, they didn't come to disturb Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu's mood was a little complicated at this time, he knew the purpose of his trip to Liaodong, but he didn't know where the road ahead was, the two did not conflict, just like practicing martial arts, he created his own exercises and began to practice according to the law, but whether he practiced peerless magic or went mad, he had no confidence in his heart.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone ask, "What are you thinking?"

Li Xuandu turned his head to look, but saw that there was a person next to him at some point, wearing a wide robe and large sleeves of stone blue regular clothes, not brocade material, but cotton cloth, printed with dark flowers. Looking at his appearance again, he is over forty years old, his eyebrows are like flying swords, his appearance is heroic and vulgar, but there is a faint sense of depression between his eyebrows. Such a man, whether it is appearance or gas, can be called perfect, even if it is the handsome Yan Feiqing, but because of his youth, he is far from each other in majesty and calmness, among the people Li Xuandu has seen, Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu are already old men, but they don't mention it, only Xu Wugui can compare with them.

Li Xuandu made up his mind, and did not ask the identity of the person who came, but said: "I am thinking about the people in the world, and I am also thinking about the love of children." ”

The man smiled, "One."

Big and small, public and private, how to take into account?"

Li Xuandu said: "I want to meet a senior in the rivers and lakes, that senior is not only a prince who can influence the general trend of the world, but also my future father-in-law, so he naturally takes care of both public and private." ”

"Father-in-law?" The person who came paused slightly: "Since you haven't seen it yet, and people have never agreed to this family business, how dare you call your father-in-law in vain?"

Li Xuandu smiled lightly: "Because the person I want to marry is his daughter, not this Liaodong hero, as long as his daughter agrees, what does it matter if you see it or not?"

Come to the humane: "How can the words of the matchmaker of the parents' order be privately determined for life?"

Li Xuandu said: "The sky is not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be lawful, and people are not enough to be compassionate." What's more, it's the order of the parents?"

The person who came snorted lightly: "What an arrogant posterior boy." ”

Li Xuandu smiled: "It's not arrogance, but sincerity." Sir, can you see my sincerity?"

The visitor was silent.

Li Xuandu patted the battlements lightly and said, "Mr. Fang Cai asked me, and now I also want to ask Mr., I don't know if Mr. can do it?"

"But it's okay to ask. ”

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Liaodong and asked, "If one day, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry passes through this Xiongguan and goes south to the Central Plains, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

The person who came said succinctly: "The general trend is the general trend. ”

Li Xuandu nodded, and then asked, "If you want to enter the customs, you must enter Beijing." After entering Beijing, what should the old magnates do? Do they live with them in harmony with the light, or sweep the house to welcome guests?"

The person who came frowned and said: "It depends on the situation, if the world is undecided, it is natural to treat it well, one is to avoid making enemies, and the other is to have the effect of buying horse bones." As for the world after the world is settled, it is necessary to clean up the mountains and rivers again. ”

Li Xuandu said: "I am afraid that the nail is not strong, and I am afraid that the nail will not come out." It's easy to nail today, but it's hard to pull it tomorrow. ”

The visitor did not continue the topic, but said: "You have come to Liaodong for these things? Are you marrying someone else's daughter to show your ambitions?"

Li Xuandu said: "Things in this world are like the water of a long river, the rivers are full of mud and sand, let me ask, how to distinguish between mud and sand and river water? People's hearts are like surging turbid water, and the word 'love' and the word 'profit' are entangled in one place, who can cut them apart?"

The person who came was silent for a moment, and said, "What a Li Zifu, he is really eloquent, I can't do it." ”

Li Xuandu said humbly: "Mr. praises. ”

The people who came learned from Li Xuandu gently patted the battlements, and the battlements were unscathed, but this ten-zhang long city wall trembled silently, and countless dust fell between the cracks.

Li Xuandu looked at the person who came and asked, "Mr. is going to test my martial arts?"
