Chapter 246: White Lotus Protector
"I'm going to help her become the new sect leader!"
Li Xiuwen's words were very arrogant, so much so that Xu Guiyun and Ge Tiancheng were stunned. They really couldn't figure out what the other party was capable of to achieve this sentence.
But soon, Li Xiuwen solved the doubts in their hearts. Because, he left another even more shocking sentence: "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" ”
"What ?!!"
Ge Tiancheng jumped up when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to slap him with a palm, but Xu Guiyun on the side stopped drinking: "Tiancheng, stop!" ”
He withdrew his hand curtly, glanced at Xu Guiyun cautiously, and then sat down again.
"Huh? Could it be ......"
Li Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, and he actually saw something unusual. Xu Guiyun's current age looks like he is thirty-five or sixteen years old, and his demeanor still exists. At this time, she was wearing a plain white filial piety dress, which added a bit of poignant taste, and people would unconsciously feel pity for her.
"This Ge Tiancheng seems to have some affection for her, hmm...... Ge Tiancheng's status in the sect is not low, so he will support Zhang Yunying even more, so it seems that there is no big problem for him to firmly control the White Lotus Sect. ”
When Li Xiuwen thought of this, he suddenly felt relieved. It's not easy to meddle in other people's affairs, so let it be. If the two of them can achieve good things, it will be greatly beneficial to themselves, even if they don't succeed, Ge Tiancheng will not pose a threat to Zhang Yunying.
Whether it succeeds or not, Zhang Yunying's future position is unshakable. Supporting the Zhang family by himself naturally has some right to speak, and he does not want the White Lotus Church to get out of his control.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Guiyun wondered. She didn't expect that Li Xiuwen would be a high-ranking official in the imperial court at a young age. It stands to reason that the White Lotus Sect and the imperial court are incompatible, and she really can't figure out why the other party would say this, and how she can help her daughter sit on the position of sect leader.
Li Xiuwen smiled indifferently and continued: "Wang Qing's five strongholds have been surrounded and suppressed by the government at this moment. After tonight, Wang Qing's faction will be greatly damaged, and they will no longer be able to threaten Yun Ying's position. ”
Playing one faction and pulling another faction is Li Xiuwen's wishful thinking.
Several people in the room were stunned, they didn't expect this young adult to use such a drastic method to completely destroy Wang Qing's power overnight!
Wang Qing's faction was originally an external force, and now they have taken away the position of the sect leader of the Xu and Zhang families, and they always want to assassinate Zhang Yunying. Now that their faction has been surrounded and suppressed by the government, Xu Guiyun and Ge Tiancheng really won't have sympathy.
Next, the few discussed some future cooperation matters.
The White Lotus Sect now has little influence in Shandong, with only more than 600 core members, and the more than 200 people who have been surrounded and suppressed by the government are their core members. Now, counting those peripheral cultists, there are probably more than a thousand people left.
As long as they are given two or three years of development, Li Xiuwen believes that it should not be a problem to reach the scale of tens of thousands of people, which can be regarded as a hidden force of his own.
Because of his status, Li Xiuwen is willing to give them some financial assistance, which will naturally be of great benefit to their future development.
In the end, Xu Guiyun proposed to let Li Xiuwen serve as the protector of the Dharma, but he politely refused.
Just kidding, if people know about this, they're really finished. As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, you actually colluded with a cult, how many lives do you Li Xiuwen have?
Li Xiuwen said solemnly: "I also hope that the relationship between me and you can be kept secret, and don't let anyone know about my existence except for the three of you." ”
Xu Guiyun naturally understood that he was now in the imperial court, and once his identity was revealed, he would be killed, and nodded: "Gongzi Li, don't worry, we won't let outsiders know about this." ”
Li Xiuwen lightly bowed his head and looked at Zhang Yunying: "Yunying, you said that the enemy who killed your father is Kong Quan, the official of Jinan Mansion?" ”
Seeing her nodding, Li Xiuwen continued: "Leave this matter to me to deal with, you must remember not to act rashly and put yourself in danger, understand?" ”
Zhang Yunying nodded again, stared at him with big eyes in a wink, and asked, "Brother Xiuwen wants to help me take revenge?" ”
"Hmm......"
Li Xiuwen pondered for a while before he said: "If this Kong Quan is really a heinous person, I will hand him over to the imperial court, and it will not be difficult to kill him." It's just that...... If he doesn't sin to death, I can't harm him in vain, at most I will have the court remove him from his official position......"
"That dog officer has no official body, it's easy for me to kill him!" Zhang Yunying intercepted.
"Nonsense! Even if you want to kill him, you can't go! ”
Li Xiuwen reprimanded with a straight face. What a good little girl, why do you shout and kill at every turn?
"Oh...... People know! ”
Zhang Yunying lowered her head, her little face full of grievances.
"Hmm...... You are a girl's family, don't shout and kill all day long. ”
Li Xiuwen nodded with satisfaction, not noticing the strange expressions of Xu Guiyun and Ge Tiancheng on the side.
When leaving, Zhang Yunying insisted on sending him out of the alley, and it seemed that he wanted to say something to him alone.
Li Xiuwen walked in front, Zhang Yunying was half a step behind her, and the two of them walked out quietly for a while before she spoke: "Brother Xiuwen......"
"Hmm...... What's wrong? ”
"Did you really marry two daughters-in-law?"
"Uh-"
Li Xiuwen was a little speechless for a while, and finally smiled: "That's not true, I've already married four wives and concubines." ”
Zhang Yunying couldn't help but feel happy when she heard the previous half of the sentence. But the half of Li Xiuwen's words made her little face gloomy again, and she looked at the other party's back hatefully, and gestured twice with her little fist before putting it down.
Li Xiuwen didn't look at her, so he naturally couldn't notice the change in her face, and then said, "You little girl, why do you ask so much?" ”
Zhang Yunying didn't answer his words, and continued to ask: "You just let me go like this, it will be fine, right?" ”
"Ahh
Li Xiuwen's body was stunned, Zhang Yunying lowered his head and didn't pay attention, and suddenly bumped into his arms.
"Ouch-"
She covered her forehead and complained in a dissatisfied tone, "What are you doing? ”
Li Xiuwen smiled: "Hi...... Didn't I suddenly remember that it would be bad to go back like this? ”
"And what are you going to do?" Zhang Yunying asked.
"Hmm...... I'll tie you back again. ”
As soon as Li Xiuwen finished saying this, Zhang Yunying raised his hand and slapped him on the chest, scolding: "Then you can tie people back, guy with no conscience!" ”
"I'm kidding you, are you still serious?"
Li Xiuwen raised his hand and pinched her cute nose, and said, "After I went back, I pretended to be your way and did something myself."
