"This old slippery head!" After Yuan Xingchong sent him away, he sat back and said.

"Old slippery head?" Li Rong was a little puzzled.

Liu Xuan promised to provide information about the Heavenly Witch Sect, these are very important to what Di Renjie and his party are planning, how can he blame others for not doing their best, to be honest, it is not an exaggeration if he doesn't help, Di Renjie can't help this kind of local boss.

"Liu Xuan has long been dissatisfied with the Heavenly Witch Sect, and this time it can be regarded as borrowing our hands to deal with the Heavenly Witch Sect, and we still have to lose favor and face." Yuan Xingchong said.

"The Black and White Society operates shipping, even if it has some conflicts of interest with the Heavenly Witch Sect, it can't reach the level of life and death," Li Rong asked.

The two organizations operate in different ways, and the ways to obtain assets are different, so there is no fundamental conflict of interest, Liu Xuan, as the leader of the organization, is responsible for the lives of thousands of people under him, how can he easily start a war with the other organization?

"Liu Xuan is one of the nine lotuses of the White Lotus Society, and the Black and White Society is also a major industry under the White Lotus Society," Di Renjie said.

"The White Lotus Society that is open everywhere?" Li Rong exclaimed.

"Guanyin is sad, the white lotus is open everywhere, and Shaolin Zen Wulai comes," showing the three holy places of Buddhism, Guanyin Dharma Seat, White Lotus Essence Society and Shaolin Zen Temple.

"The White Lotus Society was created by Huiyuan, a generation of Buddhist masters in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and attracted the upper-class elites who believed in Buddhism in the south at that time, and for three hundred years, the White Lotus Society has been developing in the south, and its power is intertwined, not under any sect, Liu Xuan can do the business of the Black and White Society all over the country, and the contribution of the White Lotus Society is indispensable." Di Renjie said.

Everything in the imperial court is simple and clear on the surface, but there are always unknown mysteries hidden behind it, people who are almost on the road are simply ignorant and ignorant chess pieces on the chessboard, and sooner or later it will be the fate of the top tank, only those who go deep into it and understand the ins and outs are qualified to be chess players, Di Renjie is this kind of person.

"No matter what, Liu Xuan is always on our side and can play some role." Li Rong paused and said.

"Gangs, sects, families, wealthy clans and even religions always have a reason to exist, and we can't completely change them, but there is no need for those organizations that don't know the court's obedience and disobedience, don't know the changes in the situation, and just exploit the people." Di Renjie said in a deep voice.

"Tianwu Sect thinks that it is located in the south, and the Holy Mother God Emperor needs to rely on it to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, so he is insatiable, and he still wants to seize the power of the imperial court, but he can't do it." Yuan Xingchong said.

A few months ago, the Demon Sect Sect gathered in Songshan and made a covenant to respect the Heavenly Demon Sect and support Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne. At the meeting, Wu Zetian met with the Holy Master of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and treated him both soft and the one hand, he was willing to back down some to confuse the Heavenly Witch Sect, and on the other hand, he was secretly prepared to use force to level the Heavenly Witch Sect.

The reason why the Heavenly Wuzong bet on both sides and wanted to support Li Zhen's ascension to the throne was also to imitate the Heavenly Demon Sect to control the power of the imperial court through Wu Zetian, and then everyone in the sect would soar. The Heavenly Witch Sect wanted to do the same.

Of course, it is no secret that the Heavenly Witch Sect supports Li Zhen, the king of Yue, among these big sects of the Demon Sect, and it is not easy for it to change its course in a short period of time. After all, the alliance between the two has brought it huge benefits, and it is difficult to give it up at once, even if the sect master of the Tianwu Sect has to think carefully and act carefully, it is a pity that Wu Zetian wants to kill the chickens and monkeys to destroy the Tianwu Sect, and at the same time expand the authority of the imperial court in Jiangnan.

Sizhou Thorn Shi Zhao Ji hid in his study, lying on the bookcase and writing hard, with a little worry on his face, he was more than fifty years old, his temples were gray, and he was obviously haggard all these years.

"The governor of Jiangnan made Di Renjie enter the city today、、, it is suspected that there is a key criminal wanted by the prince the day before yesterday to meet Di Renjie and his party, and the relationship is very good," Zhao Zhenjin sighed, folded the letter, stuffed it into a paper bag, sealed it, and called a close servant to order him to be sent to Caizhou Yuewang's Mansion overnight.

Zhao is from the Tianshui Zhao clan, and is also considered a wealthy family, but because he is not a child of this branch, his career is bumpy, and he entered the Yue Wang's Mansion as a soldier in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and later with the help of the Yue King, he continued to rise and finally got the position of Sizhou Thorn History. It is said that Zhao is not very dissatisfied with his career, on the contrary, he is fortunate to have nobles to help him, and the opportunity is not shallow. But with the death of Gaozong, Empress Wu took power, and the situation of the dynasty changed. As the banner of the Li Tang clan, King Yue had no choice but to collude with other forces to protect himself, and Zhao's future and life had already been tied to King Yue, so he had to help him secretly, but it is still unknown whether King Yue can achieve his wishes in the future.

The imperial court seemed to be aware of what King Yue had done, and sent Di Renjie, who was an old treacherous and capable man, to come to Jiangnan to inspect the place, which was not a distrust of the officials in Jiangnan.

"Master, are you still worried about people coming to the court?" Zhao Zhenjin's wife, Wen, a middle-aged woman in her forties, walked in slowly holding a tea tray and asked softly.

"Di Renjie is familiar with the affairs of the people, and those tricks can't fool him." Zhao Zhenjin said.

"The lord is too worried, and the court sent someone to investigate the fact that the tribute has drifted too much. This matter has to be taken care of by the Yangzhou Governor's Office, Sizhou is not under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, what is the matter of the master? Wen said.

"But the tribute was transported away near Sizhou, and I can't escape the responsibility of being unable to supervise," Zhao said, "Besides, the key to the problem is not here, the imperial court sent people to investigate this matter in fact, it is to show that it is dissatisfied with the king of Yue and the officialdom of Jiangnan." Today's Queen Mother is not a soft-hearted person, she will not let go of King Yue, for her husband and I have been rich and rich all my life thanks to King Yue, even if I want to change the strings, it is impossible. ”

Millions of dollars of wealth are just a bunch of numbers for a politician like Wu Zetian who holds a high position of power, but the use of wealth represented by these numbers is the focus of her attention. If King Yue was like Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, used the gold silk on the wine and beauty, it is estimated that Wu Zetian might be a horse, but the money was used on weapons and horses, which was the fatal point.

There is no doubt that King Yue does not want to close the door in the second half of his life, and spend the rest of his life mediocre and depressed, the bloodline of "Tian Khan", and the dignity of the grandmaster and master do not allow him to do this, so the life-and-death battle between him and Wu Zetian is inevitable.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Zhao Jiji, the assassin of Sizhou, knew this, and Wu Zetian and Di Renjie also knew. Therefore, the king of Yue and his henchmen must be eradicated, and the forces in the south of the Yangtze River must submit to the imperial court, this is the current general trend of the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, and no one and organization can compete with him, even if he is the grandmaster, he is the son of Li Shimin, the "Heavenly Khan".

Wen thought for a while and said: "The lord got the help of the king of Yue to get this position, but the official position is still the imperial court, which does not mean that the lord has to help the king of Yue to do some illegal things, besides, the lord is not too deep, and there are no private soldiers and equipment, the responsibility is not deep, if you can make meritorious service to atone for your crimes, it is not impossible to save your life." ”

Zhao Jijin picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, his face changed, as if he was moved by Wen's words. He has been in the sea for a long time, and he has served in many states and counties, and he knows the people's hearts very well, and he is not optimistic about Li Zhen's future.

Here Zhao Jinjin and his wife hesitated, and over there Li Rong returned to the quiet room and closed his eyes to meditate.

This time in the south, Li Rongduo fought with the master and benefited a lot. Especially in the face of the oppression of Zhou Xuan'er, the holy daughter of the Heavenly Witch Sect, Li Rong played extraordinarily, using the weak enemy as the strong, showing what he had learned, forcing Zhou Xuan'er to use all his strength to escape.

"The soft water true qi seems to restrain the invisible true qi of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and Zhou Xuan'er's footwork is very similar to the Bagua palm body method, which should be the legendary Yu step." Li Rong's mind flashed back to the situation of the battle at that time.

At least after some training, Li Rong's various martial arts began to show signs of integration, and his stunt "Thunder and Lightning Light Dragon" was completed, and it was estimated that no one at the same level could stop him, although he was almost powerful in the face of the seventh-grade grandmaster.

Shengzhou Jiankang Mansion, Jiang Wang Temple

Jiang Baiqing, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Witch Sect, was dressed in a white feather robe, with black hair and starry eyes, a slender body, and a posture of being marked out of dust, looking at the dense rain line in front of the curtain with a calm expression.

"Holy Lord, the news has been reached to the Holy Maiden," a young woman in purple clothes and light veils with beautiful eyebrows came in and bowed down and said, "The governor of Jiangnan sent Di Renjie to Sizhou the day before yesterday to join the battalion of thousands of horsemen sent by the imperial court. ”

"Senior Sister Xuan'er's love for Yue King Li Zhen can't be wrong, after all, it has brought great benefits to my sect, but now it has caused trouble. I saw that Wu Zetian was already a little impatient, and on the surface asked me to bring a message to Li Zhen, the king of Yue, to calm his heart, but in fact, he wanted to confuse him and was ready to start. Jiang Baiqing said.

"Holy Lord, how should we deal with it, and draw a line with King Yue now?" The woman in the purple gauze said.

"Zi Chen, you don't have to make a decision so quickly, we have a long-standing relationship with King Yue, and everyone knows it. Besides, there is no conclusive evidence in the imperial court," Jiang Baiqing said, "Li Zhen's time is running out, and it will be clear who wins and who loses between him and Wu Zetian, and when Li Zhen is defeated, we will give a salute." If Li Zhen wins, our Heavenly Demon Sect can also replace the Heavenly Demon Sect to dominate the Demon Gate, and now the Empress Yuan Hua of the Heavenly Demon Sect has retired without a trace, why should the Heavenly Demon Sect be the boss of the Demon Gate. ”

"Then what should Di Renjie do over there, do you want to send someone to kill him, so as not to track him down, if he really uses the power of the government, it will be difficult for us to do it." A woman named Zi Chen said.

"You go to the camera with Qinglong and Baihu to deal with this matter, you must stabilize Di Renjie, delay it for some time, and wait for the world to become clear." Jiang Baiqing said, "Your martial arts have been completed, and it is difficult to enter the realm even if you cultivate alone, so you can take the opportunity to go to the rivers and lakes to experience it, so as to stabilize the realm and seek to reach a higher level in the future." ”

"Holy Lord, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to the trust of the Holy Lord," Zi Chen said.

Zi Chen's full name is Zhang Zichen, she is the next generation of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Witch Sect, selected from thousands of children since she was a child, with excellent martial arts talent and bones, she is expected to inherit the position of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Witch Sect and become the pillar of the Heavenly Witch Sect.

Zhang Zichen left in response and left Jiang Wang Temple with a happy face, preparing to inform the two elders of the Heavenly Witch Sect to go to Sizhou in Jiangbei together.
