Li Xiong had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Back then, Li Xiong could have been patient for a long time, but now after all, it is different, he is no longer the one who had a little foundation after the rebellion, but there are still many lacking military leaders.

After several years of cultivation of the personality of the lord of the country, Li Xiong at this moment is already a veritable lord of Shu, holding authority and soldiers and horses, and is accustomed to commanding.

Therefore, even if he knew the influence of the Heavenly Master Dao in Shu, and was even more in awe of the old Taoist priest in his heart, but at this critical moment when the Xuanjia army went south and the crisis in Shu was in danger, Li Xiong put down the urgent matter at hand, and did not even gather soldiers and horses at the first time, but came here with great expectations for the old Taoist.

Of course, on the other hand, he also knows very well that relying on his own soldiers and horses, he can still resist one or two in the face of the soldiers of the original Guanzhong court, and even Jingzhou Wang Dun is not afraid to attack.

But the Xuanjia Army is different from them, even if it can resist for a while by relying on its geographical advantage, it is only temporary, so he simply does not ask for soldiers and horses, and seeks the help of ghosts and gods.

It's just that waiting for a long time inevitably makes him mumble in his heart, thinking about whether this decision is correct, and he comes here without doing so many serious things.

And his personal soldiers have already argued with a few Taoist priests who blocked the way, wanting to buy some time for their own lord, and at other times, Li Xiong would have already spoken out to stop it, and then made the gesture of Corporal Lixian, but this time, he was silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing in the behavior of his own soldiers.

When the atmosphere began to change and became more and more solemn because of the dispute on both sides, the originally closed door of the Taoist temple finally slowly opened, and then Zhang Xuan walked out.

"Your Majesty, please come in with me, the teacher is invited."

"I've seen Senior Brother." Li Xiong waved his hand, and those pro-soldiers stopped arguing, and then stopped with this Shu Di and walked into the Taoist temple together.

"I wonder what the teacher has done?"

Walking on the road, Li Xiong couldn't help but ask, this is related to the safety of his current foundation, and he really can't help but pay attention to it, so he can't help but learn more about it.

Zhang Xuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "The teacher has a set of methods, which may be effective, but I still have to make it clear to the king and let the king make a decision himself, but this specific method is not something I can know." ”

Li Xiong nodded, calmed down a little, knowing that the old Taoist priest was not helpless, but the word "choice" in Zhang Xuan's mouth still made the lord of Shu couldn't help frowning, thinking about the deeper meaning behind it.

However, he didn't have to think long to get the answer

The old Taoist priest told him personally

"Xuanjia is coming, Shu is unstoppable, but the old way can do it, reduce some of the luck of the champion Hou, let him attack this time is not smooth, so as to extend the national glory for Shu for two or three years."

The old Taoist priest sat on the futon, saw Li Xiong, and did not make any false words, and directly explained the method.

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

"Only two or three years?"

After Li Xiong apprenticed to the old Taoist, he also learned some Yin-Yang Taoist sayings and Heavenly Master Daozang, and he understood the meaning of this reduction of luck, but listening to the meaning of this old Taoist, it was not a method of once and for all, but a technique of procrastination.

"In the past two or three years, no matter how a certain family prepares, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist again......" Li Xiong shook his head lightly, "Unless you can win over some allies, it's just that the Jiangzuo Imperial Court, although there are contradictions with the Chen family, but the two sides have more contacts, far from being able to use a certain family, or that Wang Dun ......"

As he said this, he still wanted to ask Fan Changsheng for advice.

Although the old Taoist priest is a yes, he has learned the art of immortality, but he is knowledgeable and involved in hundreds of schools, and in the past, whether it is government affairs or military affairs, he has given Li Xiong a lot of useful advice, and he often does not speak much, but he can hit the nail on the head.

At this moment, the lord of Shu undoubtedly wants to be like in the past, hoping that Lao Dao can give a reminder.

Unexpectedly, Fan Changsheng just shook his head, and then said softly: "What the old Taoist can do, that's it, the king has been good to the old Taoist over the years, and he wants to repay him, if he can block the Xuanjia from going south, the king has his own prestige, and he can take advantage of it, but whether he wants to fight in the future, or seek other methods, it is not the old Taoist who can manage it." ”

Li Xiong heard other meanings from these words, and couldn't help frowning.

The other methods that the old Taoist priest said were probably surrenders, but Li Xiong was born from a homeless person back then, relying on rebellion, and he rebelled after he took refuge in the imperial court, and rebelled against him if he didn't like it.

It's just that, if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a method, after all, it is not easy to resist the Xuanjia Army, but according to the old Taoist, if you can resist it once this time, then the name of the Xuanjia Army's invincibility will be folded in your own hands, then this meaning is too great, enough to use the topic to play, do a lot of things, maybe you can create a new situation.

It's just a bad thing, and it's also the result of the death of the clan, after all, there are a lot of lessons from the past.

On the other hand, if he surrenders, at least what Ronghua and Fugui can start to fight for, can also make his own family stable.

Thinking like this, Li Xiong weighed left and right, but it was difficult to determine his thoughts for a while.

But at this time, the old Taoist priest opened his mouth faintly, and said in a somewhat admonishing tone: "Chen's foothold is upright, dignified, destroying the country and breaking the momentum, it is a general trend, and the luck is strong, this is the right way of heaven and earth, if the old Taoist forcibly folds its luck, in fact, it is against the harmony of heaven, and there will be repeated in the future, it is two or three years later, Xuanjia will come again, or ten times the trend of today!" ”

Li Xiong's face changed color directly, and he became more and more worried, he was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "I don't know what the teacher is going to do?" ”

The old Taoist priest glanced at him and said: "Although it is a side door, but to control the dignified soldiers, you still have to borrow the blood of the soldiers. ”

Li Xiong nodded with a serious expression, didn't ask any more, and hurried away.

As soon as this person left, Zhang Xuancai walked over with a worried face, and whispered: "Champion Hou is lucky, inheriting the right path, the method taught by pedestrians, if the teacher wants to forcibly reduce his luck, I am afraid that he will have to lose a lot of life, it is better for the students to do it for him......" He looked at the old state of the old way, and became more and more unbearable.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "No one dies, I am the Taoist, you are not proficient, you can't." ”

The words fell, and the closing was silent.

On the same day, the Xuanjia army was like a broken bamboo, and it had entered Shu, and Li Xiong ordered troops on the battlefield, and then sent someone to invite the old Taoist.

Fan Changsheng walked slowly, and after walking out of the Taoist temple, he looked back and was silent.
