But said that when Lian Rou walked into the restaurant, there was immediately a special restaurant guy who came forward and took her straight to the top floor, a most noble attic, and when she reached the door, the shop guy respectfully retreated, and Lian Rou pushed open the door without hesitation and walked into the room.

There have been people waiting in the house for a long time, respectively a Western Regions and a Central Plains two middle-aged people, dressed as master servants, and now seeing Lian Rou walking into the house, the Central Plains people dressed as masters have not yet had any expression, but the Hu people of the Western Regions have already stepped forward excitedly, kneeling at Lian Rou's feet and bowing to her: "Venerable messenger of God, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, your humble servant Ali has come to meet you." In fact, as a saint in the sect, Lianrou's identity is comparable to the incarnation of a god, so it is a great honor for the believers in the sect to be able to see her face and kiss the ground under her feet. Lian Rou also knew this, so she did not refuse the worship of the believers, at this time, she was not alone, but the embodiment of the gods who walked in the human world.

It wasn't until a long time later that Lian Rou slowly spoke, without any color in her tone: "Okay Ali, get up!" It wasn't until he heard these words that Ali moved again, he knelt down respectfully and took a few steps back, and then stood up and stepped aside, letting go of the Central Plains behind him.

This Central Plains man is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, although his attitude is respectful, however, his demeanor when facing Lian Rou head-on does not flinch at all, but even though he clearly knows that the relationship between his master and this holy woman is quite deep, but it is precisely because of this that he can't show the slightest timidity, so as not to fall behind in the next confrontation. In this way, the eyes of the two met each other, and it was not until a moment later that Lian Rou exhaled softly, and her cold words broke the silence: "Since my cousin has sent someone like you to meet me, it shows that his situation is really not optimistic!" ”

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this, however, being able to be sent out by the selected one proved that this person was indeed not incompetent, the man's mind turned sharply, and he immediately thought of a speech: "Your Highness said that it was a joke, my master is a hero, a man of great talent, and what can be difficult to stop him." ”

"Really?" Lianrou's tone was still cold, but her eyes seemed to be smiling: "How did I hear that he was defeated by Li Mi in Luokou, and more than half of his troops were lost, and he was almost devastated?" ”

"Of course, this is just a rumor and a false rumor, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden has just come from the west, and she doesn't know anything about things in the east, let's just say that Li Yuan, who has already occupied Guanzhong at this time, has broken with the Sui army, he will naturally spare no effort to smear my master, and what the Holy Maiden hears is naturally not substantiated."

In the face of Lian Rou's question, the middle-aged man immediately refuted, Lian Rou listened to his words, but did not look at him, his eyes went straight over him and looked at Ali who was standing aside, the Hu people of the Western Regions were illuminated by Lian Rou's gaze, and immediately unconsciously wanted to retreat, and his face also showed a trace of guilt, Lian Rou saw it, and naturally sighed in his heart, cousin, this person, is really shrewd and frightening, and he also knows that the news of his own defeat has always been hidden from himself, so he sent one of his right-hand men to come with Ali, the former to coordinate the overall situation, After all, Ali and his cousin are both members of the Holy Sect, and if the cousin can stand firm in the court of this country, then it will also have great benefits for the Holy Sect, and it is also because of this reason that the power of the Holy Sect in the Central Plains will spare no effort to support him, until he has achieved his current strength and status.

It's just that at this moment, the Holy Sect no longer has any strength to support him, in the past, it was a peaceful and prosperous era, the people of the Holy Sect were doing business between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, the Holy Sect had abundant money, and could support his cousin's career in large quantities, if there was turmoil today, the road of business travel was cut off, even the people living in the East were very poor, and there was no way to give more support to the other party, besides, after the defeat of Luokou, Lian Rou knew in her heart, At this time, the strength of the Holy Sect in the Eastern Soil is not enough to restore the cousin's strength to the previous state, and even if he recovers his strength, he still has to fight with the world's number one anti-king Li Mi, even if he can win a miserable victory in the end, this price is not even something that Lian Rou can afford, so all she can do at this time is to resolutely refuse all the mentions of her cousin, and the strength of the Holy Sect in Middle Earth can no longer be squandered by that cousin.

Lian Rou gave up the desire to talk to the two, so she stopped looking at the two, turned around and wanted to leave, the Central Plains people had not yet understood the meaning of this action, but Ali had already stepped forward and knelt down at Lian Rou's feet again: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, Your Royal Highness the Prince has suffered extremely heavy losses this time, and the only one who can save Her Royal Highness the Prince is Her Royal Highness, please save Her Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Lianrou stopped, but did not look back, she sighed faintly: "There is a saying in Middle Earth, it is called unwilling, you can't, you must know, the reason why we have come here thousands of miles is because in our homeland, the Holy Sect has always been suppressed by the Wo Religion and the Nestorian Sect, and now in the Semitic people in the west, a new sect advocating cleanliness has been born, and now it has become quite large-scale, I am afraid that in the near future it will become a new enemy of our Sect, the reason why we came here is to catch up with the Wo Religion and the Nestorian Sect." and lay a new foundation for our religion on this land. After a pause, she continued: "The strength of my Holy Sect in Eastern Earth at this time is no longer enough to continue to support my cousin's cause, and now, it is useless for you to say anything, the last remaining strength of the Holy Sect in Middle Earth cannot be buried because of my temporary soft-heartedness, you go back and tell your cousin, let him find another way!" ”

After saying these words, Lian Rou wanted to leave regardless of Ali, who was kneeling on the ground with his head behind her, but this time, it was the Central Plains people on the side who stopped her: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, please stay." ”

Not only did the Central Plains people say this, but they also hurried to the door and blocked Lian Rou with their bodies. This action immediately made Lianrou's face become like frost, and golden fireworks faintly appeared in her blue eyes: "Those who dare to block the footsteps of the gods, aren't you afraid of death!" With Lianrou's voice, the door was immediately opened, and two warriors dressed as Western Turks pushed the door in, holding swords and pointing directly at the Central Plains. The people of the Central Plains can still maintain a calm attitude: "Offended His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, the villain knows that he deserves death, but for the cause of my master, even if it is punished by God, the villain is willing, and now the situation of the temple is difficult, and my master also knows, but he still sent me to the envoy, because the master thought of a way to solve the crisis without having to use the resources of the Holy Religion, why not make plans after listening to it, if after listening to the words of the next, His Highness still did not change his mind, Then he will be executed by His Highness, and there will be no complaints. ”

Lianrou's guard's sword pointed murderously at the comer, as long as Lianrou gave an order, he would immediately step forward and cut off the head of this blasphemer, but after a moment of silence, Lianrou waved his hand lightly at them, this is an order to stop, the two should obey, Lianrou's eyes turned to each other again, and said: "Since this is the case, then you might as well talk about it, I think with my cousin's wisdom, he will not let me down." ”

"The holy woman is indeed like a god." The Central Plains people complimented, and then said what his master meant: "The master's meaning is to hope that the Holy Sect can forgive the sins of Elder Xu Kaishan and re-include him in the door wall of my Holy Sect......" How do you know that the words of the Central Plains people have just begun, and they are unceremoniously interrupted by Lian Rou: "Xu Kaishan committed a crime below the mountain, and stole the supreme classics of this sect and absconded here, he committed the unforgivable sin of apostasy, as a holy woman, how can I be able to forgive his sins because of worldly interests." ”

For religious people such as Lianrou, the so-called secular interests are completely worthless in front of the authority of religion, and therefore, Xu Kaishan, who violated this article, is really an unforgivable sin, but they are just these people, in the eyes of various careerists and heroes, the interests of reality are the most important, after Xu Kaishan fled to Middle-earth, he created the Daming Zun Sect, spread and carried forward the ideas of the original Holy Religion, and at this time a large force has been formed in Middle-earth, Even many local forces have to work hard to win over, not to mention that the master of the Central Plains was originally from the Western Regions, so he already had this idea, but this matter still needs the nod and cooperation of the Holy Maiden Lianrou, if it is not through Lianrou and privately unite with Xu Kaishan, firstly, the covenant between the two may not be stable, and secondly, without the support of the orthodoxy of the Holy Sect, he, the Persian prince who came to the Eastern Land, is nothing, even if he recovers his strength because of Xu Kaishan's support, In the long run, the gains outweigh the losses, so the messenger he sent must be able to persuade Lian Rou to change her mind, not only to forgive Xu Kaishan's sins, but also to actively promote the union between the two. Fortunately, the Persian prince was already very familiar with Lianrou's cousin's temperament, so he had already prepared a speech. At this time, it was relayed to Lianrou by the Central Plains

"Your Highness, although Elder Xu has committed an unpardonable sins, but at this time and time, the shape of my Holy Sect is also as the Holy Maiden said, extremely difficult, since this is the case, then why should I be so harsh on the canons, even if Elder Xu apostatized and fled to the Eastern Soil, the doctrine he preached in Middle Earth is also the doctrine of my Holy Sect, which undoubtedly shows that Elder Xu is still a member of my sect, and has never changed, but is just dissatisfied with the practices of the middle and high levels of the sect, Now that our Holy Sect is struggling in Middle-earth, and Elder Xu's power is growing rapidly, why don't we forgive Elder Xu's sins and accept his faction to strengthen our Sect? ”

Lian Rou's coming to the east, in addition to developing believers in the East and strengthening the religion, may not have the intention of cleaning up Xu Kaishan, a traitor, but when she arrived in the East Land, she knew that Xu Kaishan, who fled from the Holy Sect General Altar in a hurry, has developed an extremely large force after arriving in Middle Earth, after decades of development, even if the Holy Sect forces gathered in China at this time are slightly inferior, and therefore, Lin Rou had to give up the idea of finding trouble with Xu Kaishan. And Xu Kaishan is also very kind to these orthodox sect members, so so far, there has been no conflict between the two sides. However, even so, when Lianrou heard the idea of asking herself to forgive Xu Kaishan's sins and take the initiative to put them back in the sequence of the Holy Religion, she still felt extremely ridiculous.

"It's absolutely impossible." Lian Rou said.

This time, the messenger of the Central Plains also bent his knees and knelt down, Lian Rou knew that this person was not a believer in the sect, and the reason why he would bow down to himself was because of his master, so he didn't make any moves, and the person who only listened knelt on the ground and continued: "Your Highness also said to yourself, in the Western General Altar, our sect is facing the joint suppression of the Wo Sect and the Nestorian Sect, and the shape is not optimistic, and the newly born sect in the farther west is the mortal enemy that our sect will face in the future. My master also said that the future of my sect will depend on the development of Middle-earth, and now that Elder Xu has gained a lot of power in Middle-earth, why should we embrace those harsh teachings instead of being enemies with Elder Xu, the two sides were originally of the same origin, and doing so will only make the power of the Holy Sect decline again, and it is even more likely that there will be no place in this land, is this what Her Highness the Holy Maiden and the upper echelons of the sect want to see? The sin of rebellion is of course an unforgivable sin, but because of the refusal to forgive Elder Xu's mistakes, it has finally caused a heavy loss to the spread of our teachings, and such a result will be what Her Highness the Holy Maiden wants to see? ”

Although as a saint, Lian Rou does not value worldly interests, but if it is an important matter related to the spread and growth of the Holy Religion, even Lian Rou will be moved, and besides, this is also one of her duties as a saint. Unable to keep her out of the matter, the Central Plains people secretly glanced up at Lian Rou and found that her face was also a little moved, so they continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Although my master is indeed selfish in the matter of uniting with Elder Xu's faction, but more importantly, it is also because of the same concern for the Holy Sect, and I hope that the cause of the Holy Sect can be carried forward!" Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, although at this time in Middle-earth, because of the suppression of the imperial power, the struggle of various religions is not fierce, but our religion wants to rise here, but it is also very difficult, so that after so many years it is still in a difficult situation, fortunately, although Elder Xu is forced to be helpless, but can develop a good force here, this is also the luck of our Holy Sect, if we can get reconciliation with Elder Xu, then our Holy Sect is really rooted in Middle-earth, even if there is a big storm in the future, I don't want to destroy the foundation of my holy religion......"

His Royal Highness the prince is worthy of being a person who knows Lian Liu's character well, and he used the development of the sect as a bait, and finally succeeded in impressing her, and Lian Rou also had to admit that once she could unite with Xu Kaishan's forces, it would bring great benefits to her sect, however, this required the pardon of a sinner who violated the canon and thus was heinous.

"My cousin's analysis is indeed very reasonable, I admit, I was also impressed by him?" There was no regret in Lianrou's tone: "It's a pity that I can't be the master alone, but fortunately, one of the four great protector kings, the Wing King, is also here, I will go to him to discuss this matter, you guys, just wait for news here!" Lian Rou said: "Don't show up everywhere, this is already Li Yuan's territory, and I don't want the two of you to cause any trouble to the believers of our clan here." With that, he bypassed the lobbyist who was kneeling in front of him and walked out, and the two Lianrou guards brought the door to the room, and suddenly in the entire door, only two kneeling messengers remained, but both of them were already relieved, because they knew that the decision made by Her Highness the Holy Maiden basically meant success.

The entire top floor had been closed when the two lobbyists arrived, so even if the door was opened later, the five of Lianrou would not worry about someone eavesdropping on their conversation, at this moment, the owner of the restaurant, a fat middle-aged man from the Western Regions, ran up, this is a standard face of the Western Regions, brown hair and blue eyes, deep eye sockets, although usually always with a businessman and kind smile, but because of the different Oriental faces, often give the first impression of the locals is a very fierce feeling, It won't change that impression until you've been together for a long time. He ran up to the top floor, came straight to Lianrou, and said, "Your Highness, the two women on the corner of the street have left, because without His Highness's orders, we don't dare to send someone to follow us, and ask Your Highness to make it clear." "Did they do something weird?" "No, they didn't make strange movements other than eating a lot." "That's it!" Lian Rou thought for a while and said: "Then there is no need, I think they are just passing by, admiring us to find some food, now that Chang'an City is still unstable, we should also act as low-key as possible, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the Tang Army in the city." Cause unnecessary trouble. The owner of the restaurant took the order to go, but Lian Rou left the two guards in the restaurant first, and left first, although he came to Chang'an in the name of the Western Turkic envoys, but he should be careful and careful when acting here.
