Chapter 108 Li Yongyan
Zhang Yuelu said: "As for Wen Weng's matter, we don't have any concrete evidence, so we can't issue a wanted order. The court won't cooperate with us. If we just rely on ourselves to find him, we may not be able to find him in five days."
Li Changge replied to Zhang Yuelu with Shi Bingyun's words: "We can't keep looking."
When Qi Xuansu heard this, he completely understood what Li Changge was thinking.
Kill Gao Mingyin, cut off the clues, and send Wen Weng and Qian Xiangyun away. The case was deadlocked, and at least it would not involve the King of Liao.
The key to the whole case was to kill Qi Xuansu.
If Qi Xuansu died, the situation would not get out of control. The blame was on the "inn", and there would be no subsequent changes.
It can't be said that Wen Weng, who made this decision, had a problem. At the beginning, when Qi Xuansu didn't realize the problem, Wen Weng had already realized the seriousness of the matter. He made two preparations. First, the Taiping money offensive, the price offered was quite sincere, and anyone would be tempted. If bribery failed, then he would kill.
Two assassins from the "inn" were used as a cover, and seven masters from the Tianchen Division were used as backup. It was a deadly situation no matter how you looked at it. Not only was there no contempt, but it was taken very seriously. Who would have thought that Qi Xuansu could not only escape, but also kill.
To be fair, this is a bit unreasonable. It's like marching and fighting. Here, a pocket formation of 20,000 ambushes was set up to ambush an enemy army of only 3,000 people, but they were counter-encircled by the reinforcements. It's hard to say that there is a problem with the commander's arrangement. It's more of a problem with the quality of the leading generals and soldiers, because letting the 3,000 enemy troops hold out until the reinforcements arrive is the biggest problem.
Similarly, the Tianchen Division actually let Qi Xuansu escape outside the city, which was Du Yuyan's problem.
Afterwards, Wen Weng also made remedies, and his means were quite tricky and ruthless, almost making Qi Xuansu fall, but in the end he still failed.
If he could do it again, Wen Weng would probably cut off his arm from the beginning and not provoke Qi Xuansu, so as not to affect the overall situation. Unfortunately, there is no "if" in the world. Wen Weng cannot cut off his own wealth without knowing the future direction. As the saying goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents. With such a big grudge, he must fight to the death with Qi Xuansu. Then Qi Xuansu will inevitably involve the King of Liao after he accidentally encounters Gao Mingyin.
This does not mean that the King of Liao is afraid of Qi Xuansu. If it is normal, he will be involved. If the King of Liao goes down in person, Qi Xuansu may die faster. The key is that at this moment, the King of Liao cannot be caught by the Taoist sect. It does not mean that the Taoist sect can do anything to the King of Liao, but that the Taoist sect will follow the line of the King of Liao to involve the Five Elements Mountain, and then have sufficient reasons to overwhelm the internal opposition and officially enter the field.
The so-called internal opposition of the Taoist sect can also be directly said to be the Taiping Dao.
In fact, the reasons given by Taiping Dao are quite sufficient: Wuxing Mountain is not far from the Imperial Capital, it is right next to the bed, and it is related to the luck of the North Dragon, which is equivalent to the throat. As long as Wuxing Mountain is strangled, the lifeblood of the Imperial Capital will be held. When Daxuan besieged the Imperial Capital, it also cut off the dragon veins and earth energy first, and then broke into the city. So this is a very sensitive position. His Majesty the Emperor is not afraid of the rebellion of the Shenshu Imperial Army, but he is afraid that the Taoist sect will cut off the key lifeblood of the Imperial Capital formation. For the sake of the relationship between the Taoist sect and the court, if there is no legitimate reason and sufficient evidence, the Five Elements Mountain should not be moved rashly, otherwise it is likely to cause a full confrontation between the Taoist sect and the court.
This is also the reason why Donghua Zhenren hopes that Qi Xuansu and others can explore the Five Elements Mountain.
Of course, Donghua Zhenren did not let Qi Xuansu fight alone. In addition to the five-member group, there are also outside forces such as the Qingping Society that have entered the scene one after another. Qi Xuansu can only be regarded as an idle piece. However, the court also took precautions and directly used the "inn" to delay the Qingping Society. At the same time, the situation within the five-member group was also difficult to describe. Li Changge fought one against two and was not at a disadvantage. In the end, Qi Xuansu made a major breakthrough.
Qi Xuansu thought about these things and was in a trance. He didn't listen to the following discussions.
Because he knew that most of them would end in nothing. After all, Li Ruoshui took the initiative to convene a meeting, most of them were well prepared.
As expected, there was still no substantial progress at the end of the meeting. In addition to the empty talk about learning and discussing to improve the moral atmosphere, it was to cooperate with Beichen Hall to hunt down Qian Xiangyun who had fled overseas, and to find Wen Weng.
This is already a louse on a bald head - an obvious thing, destined to be futile. The temporary attack against Li Ruoshui himself was neutralized by her, and there was not much effect, which made Qi Xuansu feel very boring.
After the meeting, everyone left the meeting hall. Qi Xuansu was the first to leave the meeting hall because he was near the door. As a result, a voice came from behind: "Brother Qi."
Qi Xuansu stopped and looked back. It was Li Changge.
Qi Xuansu did not have any bad feelings towards this young state teacher. He just had a different standpoint. If he were in Li Changge's position, he would probably deal with it in the same way. He responded: "Brother Li."
Li Changge took a few quick steps and walked side by side with Qi Xuansu. Zhang Yuelu, who was planning to talk to Qi Xuansu, was taken away from his position and had to slow down a little and walk side by side with Yao Pei instead.
At this time, Yao Pei had returned to his usual state. He was no longer as fierce as when he confronted Li Changge just now. He said woodenly: "Brother Qingxiao, it seems that Li Yongyan is very interested in Qi Tianyuan."
"Yongyan" is Li Changge's courtesy name.
The word "ge" in Li Changge's name comes from "Shun Dian" in "Book of Yu": Poems express aspirations, songs are everlasting, sounds are everlasting, and rhythms are harmonious. "Le Ji" also says: The sound of singing is also long, which is consistent with the word "long" in Li Changge.
From this point of view, there may still be Li Changshi, Li Changsheng, and Li Changlu in the Li family, but I don't know if they are still alive.
Zhang Yuelu said nothing.
At such a close distance, Li Changge could hear whatever he said. Yao Pei's words were meant for Li Changge.
"Brother Li Dao, is there something wrong?" Qi Xuansu asked tentatively.
Li Changge smiled slightly: "I've heard about Brother Qi for a long time, but because of complicated affairs, I haven't had the opportunity to get along with Brother Qi. I wonder if Brother Qi is free."
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Yuelu behind him.
"Could it be that the beautiful lady has an appointment?" Li Changge also looked at Zhang Yuelu, "I was rude, so let's talk about it another day."
After that, Li Changge said goodbye and left, giving up his position to Zhang Yuelu.
Qi Xuansu was speechless.
He couldn't tell what the young imperial master was thinking. Could it be that Li Changge wanted to "recruit" him on behalf of the Li family? There is no doubt that Li Changge has the power and the confidence to promise Qi Xuansu a beautiful vision. At this moment, Yao Pei suddenly said: "The daughter of the Zhang family, the junior of the Yao family, and the confidant of the Li family. It turns out that I am such a confidant. I was wrong."
After that, she left quickly.
Qi Xuansu's face suddenly became unhappy.
Zhang Yuelu heard this strangely and asked: "The daughter of the Zhang family should refer to me, the junior of the Yao family refers to herself, and what does it mean to be just a confidant of the Li family?"
Qi Xuansu said slowly: "When I was in the palace, I said that now there are aristocratic families in the Taoist sect. Do we homeless people still have a chance to succeed? Yao Suyi said that if you can't be a son, you can still be a son-in-law, or you can be a son-in-law. As an adopted son, she said that I have connections with both the Yao family and the Zhang family, and the only thing missing is the Li family, so I might as well find a daughter of the Li family as my confidante to bring together the three families. "
Zhang Yuelu understood and couldn't help but smile: "So he is such a confidant."
Qi Xuansu shook his sleeves: "I don't have a habit of cutting off my sleeves, and the little Imperial Master probably doesn't either. You said that Li Changge deliberately got close to me, was he deliberately trying to draw me in, or was he deliberately trying to alienate me?"
"It's hard to tell." Zhang Yuelu said that he couldn't guess.
Qi Xuansu said: "I will not let others give me the bad name of a slave with a third surname."
In the Taoist sect, it is normal to jump from this Taoist tradition to other Taoist traditions. For example, Li Minghuang and Qi Xuansu, the former jumped from Zhengyi Road to Taiping Road, and the latter jumped from Zhengyi Road to Quanzhen Road. Even Zhang Yuelu had similar thoughts, but it was nothing. But if one person changes all the three principles, he will inevitably be criticized.
Furthermore, Qi Xuansu switched from Zhengyi Dao to Quanzhen Dao. In fact, his reputation was far better than that of Li Minghuang, because Qi Xuansu’s master Qi Haoran was originally a disciple of Quanzhen Dao, but later he went to Zhengyi Dao for unknown reasons. From here on, Qi Xuansu It should be a return to the Quanzhen Tao. If Qiniang also develops in Taoism, then she is also a person of Quanzhen Tao. No matter which side Qi Xuansu follows, the destination will be Quanzhen Tao.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu has some sense of belonging to Quanzhen Tao.
"What should we do next?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Zhang Yuelu said: "All the keys lie in Five Elements Mountain."
Qi Xuansu said: "Nowadays, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Five Elements Mountain. The Taoist sect can attack it, but we cannot. There are at least fake immortals inside."
"How do you know there are fake immortals?" Zhang Yuelu asked immediately.
Of course Qi Xuansu would not say that he got the news from Qiniang and Qingpinghui, but would instead infer the process based on the results: "Actually, once you think about it, you can tell that the King of Liao didn't want Gao Mingyin's affairs to involve him, and he didn't want to show up. The achievement lies inside. With the relationship between the King of Liao and Master Ziji, it is impossible to do it on his own. In fact, he got the instruction from Master Ziji. "
Zhang Yuelu said thoughtfully: "You mean... the Xuanhui Academy that belongs directly to Master Zijiji."
"Exactly." Qi Xuansu said, "It is said that these intersex people feed on dragon energy and only listen to the instructions of Master Zi Ji. Master Zi Ji will not end up personally, but will send these old intersex people to assist the King of Liao, most of them He is the ancestor of the intersex people.”
As for why Master Ziji will not end the situation in person, it is actually a tacit understanding. The Earth Master has not ended up in person either. Now it is mainly Master Donghua who comes forward. Even Master Cihang and Master Qingwei didn't make any big moves, it was a tacit understanding.
"It does make sense." Zhang Yuelu nodded.
