Xu Zaiyuan sat in a sedan chair and went to the governor's mansion.

After coming to the Governor's Palace, Xu Zaiyuan walked all the way through the hall and came to the study. After a short time, a scribe came to the study and asked softly, "Ministry, has he taken it?"

This scribe was Shi Zongxi, who had fought Li Feiyan at the head of the city before.

Xu Zaiyuan raised his hand, motioned for this Mr. Shi to sit down, and then said, "Take it." ”

Shi Zongxi nodded, and asked again, "What is the attitude of this Mr. Xiao Li?"

Xu Zaiyuan leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his fingers with his hands, and said after a little mover: "I thought it was a ranger who violated the ban by force, but I didn't expect it to be a person who is quite a city government, but I can't see through this person." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zaiyuan paused slightly, his face was a little gloomy, and after suppressing the slightest annoyance in his heart, he said: "According to our expectations, he will not accept it, and he may even refuse to see me, but I never expected that he not only saw me, but also accepted the gift." ”

Shi Zongxi said lightly: "If this Mr. Xiao Li speaks harshly to the ministry and reiterates the matter of the imperial capital back then, it is not terrible, it means that he is just for revenge, but he is just a brainless and reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about." But now he has put down the grudges of the year, which is very terrible, Ministry, you say that there is something in this world that can make a Jianghu martial artist put down the word 'grievance'?"

"When we meet, we smile and enmity. Xu Zaiyuan said hesitantly: "Emperor Taizu's own brother died at the hands of the former Jin general Ren Chao, and later Ren Chao surrendered and confessed to Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizu said: 'Don't mention the old things again, I just hope that the general can do his best for the people in the world.'" Ren Chao was grateful, and on the way to the Northern Expedition, he fought to the death to save Emperor Taizu. What can make Emperor Taizu let go of his grudges is the great ambition of chasing the world, could it be that this Mr. Xiao Li also has such ambitions?"

"There already is. Shi Zongxi said: "As far as I know, the reason why Mr. Lao Li expelled Mr. Xiao Li from the Qingwei Sect was because Mr. Xiao Li took the initiative to speak to Mr. Li. This is very interesting, twenty years of master and apprentice, doesn't Mr. Xiao Li know what kind of temperament Mr. Li has, but he still wants to speak, indicating that he has already saved the idea of leaving the Qingwei Sect. Sure enough, in less than half a year after leaving the Qingwei Sect, this Mr. Xiao Li became the sect master of the Taiping Sect with the support of the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, is it just a coincidence?"

Xu Zaiyuan's face showed a solemn expression: "If these are all in his expectation, then this person is too terrifying." ”

Shi Zongxi said in a slow and low tone: "In the change of the imperial capital in the second year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu almost died in the imperial capital, but was rescued by Zhang Haishi. In the third year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu traveled north to Jianxiu Mountain in Zhongzhou, visited the earth master Xu Wugui, and then returned to Qingweizong, abolished his cultivation, and began to hibernate. In the fourth year of Tianbao and the fifth year of Tianbao, Li Xuan did not have any movement. In the sixth year of Tianbao, at the invitation of Zhang Luanshan, Li Xuandu left Qingwei Sect and went to Huainan Mansion in Luzhou, nominally to rescue the orphans of Zhou Tingchao, but in fact he took this opportunity to secretly meet with Shen Wuwu, the sect master of the Taiping Sect, and Yu Qingning, the future sect master of the Xuannu Sect. In the second half of the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu set off from Huainan Mansion in Luzhou and went to Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou. In Ping'an County, he met the palace officials of the Lady Sect, in Jingzhou Jiangling Mansion, he met Yan Feiqing, in Zhongzhou Longmen Mansion, he met Su Yuncheng of Cihangzong, and in Beimang County, he met Wuzhen of King Kong Sect. In addition, he also visited the Earth Master for the third time, and participated in the change of ownership of the Tianle Sect, and even injured his junior sister Lu Yanbing. ”

Xu Zaiyuan got up and took a pair of maps, spread out the desk, carefully looked at Li Xuandu's itinerary, and muttered: "It's too much of a coincidence that I've met so many people along the way. ”

"It's no coincidence. I'm afraid Li Xuandu would never have imagined that Shi Zongxi would think so highly of himself, so he only heard the fourth great priest of the Vientiane Academy said: "It's intentional." ”

Xu Zaiyuan said: "How do you say this?"

Shi Zongxi said: "Who are the people Li Xuandu has seen? Except for the people in the evil way, they are Shen Wuwu and his wife from the Taiping Sect, Yu Qingning from the Xuannu Sect, Yan Feiqing from the Zhengyi Sect, Su Yuncheng from the Cihang Sect, and Wuzhen from the King Kong Sect. He is a member of the Qingwei Sect, but he secretly contacts the key figures of the hostile sect, and it is self-evident why, so it is reasonable that Li Xuandu left the Qingwei Sect and quickly received the support of the Great Heavenly Master when Tianbao was seven years old. In other words, it should not be said that Li Xuan was expelled from the sect, it is clear that he took the initiative to betray the Qingwei Sect. ”

Xu Zaiyuan said: "That is to say, since the defeat of Tianbao in the second year, Li Xuandu has already had the idea of leaving the Qingwei Sect, and has been planning for this for many years, and finally put it into practice in the sixth year of Tianbao." ”

"Exactly. Shi Zongxi nodded and said: "You can see the leopard in the tube." Li Xuan can endure for several years, not because he has a good temper, but because he has great ambitions, so he doesn't care about the momentary battle of will. ”

Xu Zaiyuan said softly: "I underestimated him." ”

Shi Zongxi sighed and said: "This person is scheming, even if he secretly took refuge in the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, he was not willing to be Zhang Jingxiu's marionette, so he began to seek a way to break the situation. ”

Xu Zaiyuan immediately said: "It's Qin Su." ”

Shi Zongxi sneered, as if he was a little disdainful, and said, "Exactly." Qin Su is Qin Qing's only daughter, and whoever can marry Qin Su will be the son-in-law of the Qin family, or even the future head of the Qin family. Looking at the world, there are very few men of the same age who can be the same as Qin Sumen, but unfortunately this Mr. Xiao Li is one of them, and I don't know what means he used, but he actually made this Miss Qin die for him, as for the Miss Zhang back then, people went to tea and cool, so naturally they had already left it behind. ”

Xu Zaiyuan was a little strange why this Mr. Shi suddenly complained about Miss Zhang's family, in his opinion, Li Xuandu's approach was understandable, and if he was in Li Xuandu's position, he would also choose Miss Qin instead of guarding a dead person. However, he didn't think too much about it, just regarded it as a literati sour and hypocritical.

Shi Zongxi continued: "People like Li Xuandu are scheming, just like top chess players, who take one step and think about three moves. Therefore, when he went to Liaodong this time, it was definitely not as simple as making a family relationship with Miss Qin, he also had a greater pursuit. ”

Xu Zaiyuan was taken aback: "Liaodong Iron Cavalry!"

Shi Zongxi said: "Liaodong Haoqiang has long been eyeing each other, Li Xuandu has great ambitions, the two must meet and hit it off, the next thing can be imagined, it must be Li Xuandu tried his best to persuade Zhao Zheng, Qin Qing led by a group of Liaodong Haoqiang, to go south to enter the customs." Don't underestimate Li Xuandu, he has been operating in the Qingwei Sect for many years, and he has the support of the Great Heavenly Master, and he has some contacts with the Earth Master in the Northwest, so it is difficult for him to be a real dragon, but it is not difficult to help the dragon. At that time, the first to bear the brunt was the ministry, and after the ministry was the nominal governor of Zhili, and then there was the imperial capital. As for the banner, it is also very simple, now the imperial court is the queen mother and the king of Jin are in power, and the 'Ji Si Chen' is a sign of the death of the country, there are many dissatisfaction and discussions among the scholars, if Zhao Zheng plays the banner of 'Qin Wang Baohuang' or 'Qingjun side', then it is difficult to say which side the people's hearts will stand. ”

Xu Zaiyuan's face was gloomy, and there was a bit of indescribable panic in his eyes: "If it is...... If this is the case, the court is in danger. ”

Shi Zongxi said slowly: "Fortunately, there is also the Golden Horde, now that the Golden Horde is moving south, Zhao Zheng has to send heavy troops to garrison the border, and he is unable to raise troops to go south, and he will have to wait until the end of the war after the beginning of winter at the earliest, and the spring of the next year." This is our chance, and if we miss it, we will hate it for the rest of our lives. ”

Xu Zaiyuan said solemnly: "Sir, please speak." ”

After Shi Zongxi pondered for a while, he said slowly: "The first point is that Li Xuandu can't be allowed to arrive in Liaodong, this is very difficult, and it can't be stopped. However, we can think of a way to break the alliance between Li Xuandu and Liaodong, and fall into a situation of mutual suspicion and even enmity, so it doesn't matter if Li Xuandu goes to Liaodong or not. ”

Xu Zaiyuan is not a stupid person, he already has a vague idea: "The key to Li Xuandu's alliance with Liaodong Haoqiang is Miss Qin, which is also the link between the two to grab food, if Miss Qin has any accidents, then Li Xuandu's hard work in this short period of time will become a big joke!"
