The Li clan has a history of nearly 100 years in Ru'an County, although most of its power is only covered in Liyang Province, but its huge and long family can be regarded as a famous century-old family in the entire Xichuan Empire.

But in this generation, the most famous is not Li Xuanyuan.

Although as the head of the Li family, and at the same time the head of the Ru'an county, ranking in the fourth high position, Li Xuanyuan can almost be said to be the most favorable proof and representative of the Li family's Zhongxing. But the rise of any force must have enough foundation to support it. The Li family's heritage is not enough, and it can't support the further progress of a huge family. It's just a coincidence that in this generation, above Li Xuanyuan, his third uncle, Li Zaiwu, was taken away by the people of the House of Elders to practice because of his excellent talent in his early years, and later abandoned the Tao to learn literature and embarked on a career in office.

The big man in the dynasty may not be able to deepen the heritage of this family, but at least during this time, the Li family has enough confidence to do more things.

This is also the reason why Li Xuanyuan dared to do such a thing that defied the world's condemnation, on the one hand, he had the confidence to deal with everything, so that others could not grasp the handle, and on the other hand, it was also because there were people in his court, and his power was not limited to a corner of Ru'an, and the existence of his third uncle Li Zaiwu made him able to ignore many rules.

It's just that it was unfortunate that Li Xuanyuan miscalculated many things, he didn't expect Chen Guyu to be so difficult to kill, let alone that with the help of the Dao powerhouse, someone would come out of nowhere to save Chen Gu. Yue Xi's arrival made him completely confused, so that he didn't even react in the end and died.

This was a result that was beyond everyone's expectations, so when Yue Xi became the county guard, many people and things fell into some strange state, at least many officials chose to wait and see at this moment, they wanted to know what the final outcome of this matter would be.

At this point, in fact, right and wrong have no effect, no matter who is right and who is wrong, who controls the truth, the final result will only be produced by the game and confrontation between the two forces, Yue Xisheng or Li Sheng, at that time, everything will change.

Now, Yue Xi killed the county guard and ordered hundreds of officials, but there are still many officials who have not surrendered, but are waiting for the opportunity for the Li family to rise again. Li Xuanyuan's heirs lurked in the city, waiting for the news of the imperial capital to arrive, and then directly plotted against public opinion and turned the tables on the Jedi.

The House of Elders is not unshakable!

Xichuan Imperial Capital, Shanglin Province, Tianjing.

The majestic weather, the brilliant divine might, the dragon veins are dormant, and the Dao power is sweeping.

Outside the crimson palace walls, in a luxurious and huge mansion.

Li Zaiwu woke up from deep meditation and stepped into the backyard.

Not long ago, under the gift of Emperor Xichuan, he was promoted to the head of the six ministries, the first rank, in charge of the promotion, reward and punishment of countless officials in the empire, it can be said that he is already complacent, and because he is from the House of Elders, even if he is now abandoning the Tao and following the literature, he still has a very close connection with some of the previous brothers, and these invisible forces also make his position more and more stable, and no one dares to infringe.

All this should have been a very good situation, but obviously, Li Zaiwu is not in a good mood now, because the news of what happened in Ru'an County has already arrived, and he also knows that his nephew has died and was killed by Yue Xi himself.

"Crossing the Tide ......"

Li Zaiwu sat on the chair, closed his eyes slightly and pondered, and after a long time, he asked, "Didn't Zhang Fangsheng make any moves?"

The housekeeper next to him hurriedly replied: "No, from the spies from Liyang Province, the Governor's Mansion has been very calm, and it seems that nothing has happened." ”

Li Zaiwu suddenly snorted coldly: "Old fox, you don't want to offend those people, so you want to stay out of the matter?"

The housekeeper lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, the old fox naturally said Zhang Fangsheng, but Li Zaiwu could say, but he couldn't deserve it, otherwise if it was passed out, even if it was Li Zaiwu, the secretary of the ministry, he wouldn't be able to protect him.

After a while, Li Zaiwu's voice came again: "Go and test it, my nephew can't die in vain, but that Yue Xi, to be honest, can't easily move, put some pressure on the Elders' House and see what the result can be." ”

Obviously, he has been in the imperial capital for many years, and now he is the head of the six departments, Li Zaiwu is very well-informed, and he has a lot of connections in the Elders' House, which can make him know some of Yue Xi's identities very clearly. The so-called generals are actually just covering up, and Buddhism is the most unoffensive.

Li Zaiwu was full of anger in his heart, and Yue Xi could be said to have cut off their Li family's future, but he still couldn't do it, so he could only test it step by step.

Soon after, the news reached the House of Elders.

In one of the deepest rooms of the House of Elders, a loud, old voice came out.

"Xuan, Yue Xi!"

The sound seemed to fluctuate at this moment, spreading densely in the air like water ripples, and the next moment, several formations outside the Elders' House were lit up, and there was a Dao power whistling, just a cup of tea, and suddenly an image appeared in the sky above that room.

The image is not big, and a woman's figure appears in it, but it is Yue Xi who is thousands of miles away in Ru'an County, I saw Yue Xi bending down slightly and saluting, and said, "Dean, are you looking for me?"

The name of the dean of the House of Elders has long disappeared in the long river of time, but his prestige is still in the sky, even more powerful than the left and right ministers under the emperor, and it can be said that he is really above ten thousand people under one person.

He is an invincible thing comparable to the dean of the Supervision Yuan of the Tang Empire, his strength is unfathomable, and according to legend, he has already reached the legendary realm of the Nine Xuan, of course, because this dean has not made a move for a long time, it has not been confirmed.

It's just that this big man who hasn't been born for a long time has now appeared because of a small farce and found Yue Xi, if he lets outsiders know, he will definitely be shocked and restless.

Indeed, the slaughter of the city, such as the killing of An Junshou, seems to many to be enough to shake the entire empire, but in fact, for the real big people in the clouds, their eyes are also above the clouds, and they only care about the life and death of the empire. In this comparison, these are indeed just trivial things.

But the dean of the House of Elders still appeared, and he found Yue Xi for the first time, which can only show that it is unusual.

The old voice came out directly: "Yue Xi, why did you kill Li Xuanyuan?"

Yue Xi was still in the county guard's mansion, and the scene in the elder's house appeared in the spacious room, and she was slightly silent: "He should be killed!"

“…… It doesn't hurt to kill and kill. The voice paused, it didn't seem to care about the life of the county guard at all, and the inquiry just now was just as usual, "But, Yue Xi, I heard Fang Shiyu say that you killed someone to protect a man?"

"Yes!"

"Who is he?"

"An old friend of mine. ”

Yue Xi seemed to remember something, his expression was firm, and he said silently.

The voice suddenly became distant: "The empire needs an explanation. The Li clan still has a little power in the imperial capital, and since your old man has done something to slaughter the city, he should be punished by the legal code. What you're doing now is not right, and you can't afford to set such a precedent!"

Yue Xi frowned, the appearance of the House of Elders caught her a little off guard, and she didn't expect that the dean would personally come from thousands of miles away, and she always felt a little strange.

Yue Xi suddenly raised his head and asked, "Dean, why did you personally come forward in this matter? Anyway, it should be Elder Su who came to interrogate, right?"

Elder Su is a relatively external elder in the House of Elders, in charge of trial and punishment.

The voice choked slightly, and then said a little funny: "Oh? Yuexi, what do you mean by this?"

"As the dean, how can you care about such a trivial matter! I will solve everything by myself. ”

Yue Xi said with a hint of awe.

"Haha, you're right, it's just a trivial matter after all!" The old voice laughed, but with a helplessness that ordinary people could not detect, "But, you are Yue Xi!"

She is Yue Xi, and she is also a Buddha girl, a descendant of the Holy Land. And in front of the behemoth that has suppressed the world for countless years, even the dean of the House of Elders can only run errands.

"What do they say?"

Yue Xi understood the meaning, but he was not angry, this was what had been said a long time ago, or it was a responsibility.

"You're a Buddha girl, you shouldn't be contaminated with dirt, that man ......"

Yue Xi interrupted indifferently: "It's just a friend, the dean and the venerable are thinking too much." ”

"Okay, then hand him over. You have done your best to avenge him, and he will not resent you. ”

Yue Xi shook his head seriously, looked at the image in front of him, and said word by word: "I want to protect him, if not, I would rather give up everything I carry." ”

"Even if you are a Buddha girl, there are some things that cannot cross the line, the empire has the rules of the empire, and you have crossed the line too much......"

"A thousand years, I will guard the abyss for a thousand years!"

The voice suddenly became extremely shocked: "Yue Xi, you know what you are talking about!"

"I know it myself. I said that I would figure everything out on my own. If I want to keep him, I will naturally pay a sufficient price. Dean, please come back!"

Yue Xi's eyebrows are shallow, but the military uniform looks particularly moving when worn on his body at the moment, it is not a kind of Chuchu, but a temperament that is as cold as a plum and as resolute as a pine.

The dean of the House of Elders seemed to be stunned by Yue Xi's words, and after a long time, he sighed faintly, but he didn't say a word, and the picture and sound disappeared into the space.

He still found it incredulous, and began to wonder who that man was.

He knew that Yue Xi was a person, a pure and noble girl, who felt ridiculous in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of more people, there was only admiration. She can resolutely enter the mysterious Buddha gate, or she can indifferently say the vow to guard the abyss for a thousand years, as long as it is for the things she values, she will often give everything.

Not long after, in the Imperial Capital Elders' House, an order came out, but it surprised all the officials who received the order, and they were a little unbelievable, but they still accepted and carried it out unconditionally.

And in the Ru'an County Shoufu, after the picture disappeared, Yue Xi also sighed softly, and then showed a touching smile, left the room, and walked towards Chen Guyu's residence.

This is the price she has long thought about paying, although it is painful, but it is not unbearable. She still couldn't remember the young man's past, but she knew very well that he was important to her, and that was enough.

She can take on the huge responsibility of Buddhism for that ideal, and she can also pay the heaviest price in a thousand years for the warmth in her heart.

She has no regrets, and she is also clear and clear, this is Yue Xi.
