Chapter 45: Business
In the evening, Qin Su asked people to set up a banquet for Li Feiyan to catch the wind and wash the dust, and only invited Su Yuncheng and Yu Qingning to accompany him, plus Long Er and Zhou Shuning, there were a total of six women, no men participated, just a family banquet.
The Taiping Sect also knew that the identities of several guests were valuable, and they were careful to serve them.
It wasn't until night, when the feast was about to disperse, that Li Xuandu returned to Qingweizong from Yanyulou, still with a little smell of alcohol.
When Qin Su went to greet Li Xuandu, he was very surprised, because Li Xuandu rarely drank alcohol, not that he couldn't drink, but he didn't like to drink very much, Li Xuan was not a romantic person who was happy and hateful, and of course he didn't think that drinking and writing poems was a romantic thing.
Li Xuan didn't rush to see Li Feiyan, but sat in the main hall, Qin Su asked people to serve tea, go to the wine, and asked softly, "Why did you drink?"
Li Xuandu took the teacup and said, "After coming out of the old man's place, I just met my father-in-law and drank a few cups with him." ”
Qin Su said unhappily: "If you don't help, forget it, and add to the chaos." ”
Li Xuandu said helplessly: "After all, he is an elder." ”
"Neither can the elders. Qin Su's arm naturally turned outward, "You're busy like this, and you're still pulling you to drink, and when I see him, I have to talk about him." ”
Li Xuandu was born in the Li family of Qingwei Sect, the rules are strict, if you want to persuade the master, you have to go around several circles, I really can't imagine this way of getting along between Qin Qing and Qin Su's father and daughter, there is no father as a son, but like friends get along. Li Xuandu was envious in his heart, but it was not good to really let his father-in-law not get off the stage, and said: "My father-in-law is rarely happy, just have a few drinks, it's okay, I just took this opportunity to steal half a day." By the way, has my aunt arrived?"
Qin Su said: "It's already here, I wanted to wait for you to come back and have a banquet, but you didn't come back for a long time, so I invited Ai Yun and Nu Yun to accompany me to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my aunt." ”
Li Xuandu nodded, "Nu Wan and Ai Yun came to see me, they should report the errand I gave them, since they are not in a hurry to find me, I think it is all done, there is nothing wrong." If it's too late to-day, I won't see them, and you will send them on my behalf. ”
Qin Su nodded in response, feeling a little strange in her heart, how could Li Xuandu's move have some suspicion avoidance? Could it be that she was concerned about her feelings? In all fairness, she couldn't tolerate a second woman sharing Li Xuandu, but it wasn't to the point where Li Xuandu wouldn't let Li Xuandu come into contact with other women, and there would still be normal exchanges.
Qin Su couldn't put this thought into words, and said, "Shuning also came over, didn't you see it either?"
Li Xuandu pondered for a moment, "I just met her at the Qingping meeting, she is fine, I don't have anything to worry about." And after all, she is older, Pei Yu can be on her own, and she should also learn to be self-reliant. Besides, I'm full of wine and smoke, and it's not easy to see guests, so I went to change clothes and wash up first, and then I went to see my aunt. ”
Qin Su also knew these etiquette rules, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and turned around.
Li Xuandu went to the bedroom alone and prepared to wash.
In the middle of the moon, Qin Su sent away Su Yuncheng, Yu Qingning and Zhou Shuning, and then saw Li Xuandu, who had changed into civilian clothes, and was much more refreshing.
Li Xuandu opened his mouth and said, "Let's go see my aunt." ”
Qin Su answered, and the two came together
Li Feiyan's residence, at this time, Li Feiyan is sitting cross-legged on a soft collapse, teasing the dragon sitting next to him, this kind of scene makes Li Xuandu feel inexplicable, speaking of which Li Feiyan is also a sixtieth age, this can be regarded as a family fun.
Seeing the two of them coming, Li Feiyan handed Long Er to Qin Su and motioned for Li Xuandu to take a seat. Qin Su led Long Er outside and let the two talk about things. When it comes to the life and death of the Extreme Heavenly King, it must be kept secret, even if Long'er can't speak, it's not good for her to know this, not to mention that Long'er's origin is quite mysterious.
Li Xuandu got straight to the point and said, "This time there is Aunt Lao." ”
Li Feiyan said: "It's a pity that I didn't do my best, but I still let the Extreme Heavenly King get rid of a trace of his true spirit, and also took away his Sumeru treasures." ”
"That's to be expected. Li Xuandu said, "After all, the 'Dafa of Selflessness and Selflessness' is very subtle, and the Extreme Heavenly King himself is also a master of the Heavenly Artificial Transformation Realm, and it is reasonable to have the means to save his life." As long as he can't participate in the Jade Void Sword Fight, it's already okay. ”
Li Feiyan took out the snake staff from the Sumeru treasure and said: "But it's not without harvest, the Extreme Heavenly King left two half-immortal things, which are decided by your second senior brother, one is given to the stone, and the other is entrusted to me to bring it to you." ”
Li Xuandu looked at the snake staff, "This is the staff of the Golden Horde National Master, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the Extreme Heavenly King after the death of the National Teacher." ”
Only then did Li Feiyan know the origin of this snake staff, "No wonder it doesn't look like something from the Central Plains, it turns out to be something from shamanism." ”
Li Xuandu took the snake staff and said, "This thing is a bit mysterious, but I will be disrespectful." ”
Li Feiyan said: "On the 15th day of July, Yuxu fights swords, we people may not have a chance to appear, but you will definitely not be able to escape, it is always good to have a little more strength." ”
Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie, you should know about the places of White Lotus Fang, Wenxiang Hall, Tingfeng Tower, and Wan Du Gate. ”
"These places have been around for a long time, many years ago. I know it. Li Feiyan nodded, "I don't know what Zifu wants to ask?"
Li Xuandu said: "Take Wan Du Sect as an example, it is not the property of the Tang family, the Tang family is only one of the owners, and there are two other owners, one of which is the Mending Heaven Sect among the five sects in Liaodong, Mending Heaven Sect was originally an assassin in ancient times, and many dead assassins in Wan Du Gate were trained by Mending Heaven Sect, but his father-in-law did not show up directly, but one of his junior disciples was in charge of this matter. There is also an owner, mysterious and unpredictable, and it is said that this owner also has shares in Wenxiangtang and Bailianfang, which are respectively cooperating with the Qian family and the Su family in Jinling Mansion. ”
Li Feiyan frowned, "You should ask Qin Yuebai and the Qian and Su families." ”
Li Xuandu said: "I had this idea, but it is only related to the selfishness and interests of several families, and it may not tell me directly, but it may even startle the snake." Su Su wouldn't lie to me, but she didn't touch it. As for Master, there are still disagreements on the matter of the imperial capital, and many of them are not easy to ask directly, so after thinking about it, I can only ask my aunt. ”
Li Feiyan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I really let you guess right, I do know something." These industries are not something that can be swallowed in one bite, even the Qin family and the Li family, so they are all in the form of shareholding partnerships, just now you have mentioned Wandumen, then I will talk about Wenxiangtang again
, There are five owners in total, one is the Qian family of Jinling Mansion, one is the Maiden Sect, one is the Hun Tian Sect, one is the Qingwei Sect, and the other is the ...... Confucianism. ”
Li Feiyan's words were like a thunderclap, even if Li Xuandu had already had many guesses, he was still very shocked. But on second thought, this is also reasonable, in any case, Confucianism is nominally the orthodoxy of the world, and for these secret industries, it is either strictly controlled or involved in them.
Li Xuandu sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "The five owners, the Qian family is Jiangnan, the Qinu Sect is the northwest, the Qingwei Sect is Jiangbei, the Hun Tianzong is Heshuo Liaodong, and the Confucian Sect is the Central Plains, so that it can include the nineteen states in the world." That's it, these five owners still belong to different forces, fighting for life and death on the surface, but secretly they are doing business together. ”
Li Feiyan said: "Everything in the world is like this, you have me, I have you." The lips are all righteous, and the hearts are all business. ”
Li Xuandu nodded, and said, "In this way, the third owner of Wan Dumen is also a member of Confucianism?"
"It should be. Li Feiyan is too sure, "You must know that Confucianism is the same as Taoism, it is just a general statement, and the specific rice has to be eaten in separate pots." In other words, these Confucian proprietors may not be the same person. ”
Li Xuandu asked the key point, "Could it be the Seven Hermits of Confucianism?"
Li Feiyan's face was solemn and he shook his head, "It's hard to say, but this may indeed be there, the Seven Hermits have worked hard for many years, and I suspect that the big proprietors of Tingfeng Lou are all one of the Seven Hermits." ”
Li Xuandu frowned, "Big Boss?"
Li Feiyan said: "Among so many owners, there must always be a front and back order, and there is a difference in the weight of speech. Take Wan Dumen as an example, the big dong family is actually the Heaven Replenishment Sect, and the Tang family is still ranked after the Qin family. And Wenxiangtang, Qingwei Sect is a big owner, and when your master was still alive in the early years, she was in charge of the business here. That's why I know so clearly. ”
Li Xuandu asked again, "What about the White Lotus Fang?"
Li Feiyan said: "If there has been no change over the years. The proprietors of the White Lotus Fang are Cihangzong, Jinling Mansion Sujia, Wudao Sect, and Confucianism, and the big owner is Cihangzong. ”
Li Xuandu knew in his heart that Cihang Sect has always been second only to Zhengyi Sect among the six sects of the righteous path, and the relationship between the two sides is close. And Su Yuncheng, the next sect leader of Cihang Sect, was born in the Su family, and it is reasonable for the two families to cooperate. As for the Wudao Sect, judging from the several secret alliances between the Great Heavenly Master and the Holy Monarch Taiyun, it is obvious that they have been in contact for a long time, and maybe they started from business.
Li Xuandu finally asked, "Who is the owner of Tingfeng Tower?"
Li Feiyan replied: "Tingfeng Building is the most complicated, in addition to the Confucian people, there are mainly two owners, namely the Yin Yang Sect and the Taiping Sect. ”
Li Xuandu sighed lightly. The Taiping Sect is worthy of being the second largest sect of the righteous path in the past, with a profound heritage. He didn't know about it, it seemed that Mrs. Lu still had reservations, but this was also human nature.
Li Feiyan said: "These are the situations before I was trapped in the Demon Suppression Platform, and it is reasonable that there have been changes over the years, you still have to check it." ”
