Chapter 139
What can make Qingxiao Emperor fearful, except for the big treasurer in the Kyushu Continent, it seems that he can't find a second person, but the big treasurer can't help Nandi deal with the imperial court, so what is he afraid of?
Li Xunlian frowned and pondered, the first target must be locked on Ai Chen, but if you think about it carefully, it is not right, although Ai Chen's cultivation is super high, he should not have enough ability to directly kill Qingxiao Emperor, otherwise he would not have waited until now.
So what is it exactly......
After thinking hard for a long time, Li Xunlian finally failed to come up with an answer, but Xu Lin's sentence that Zhu Yi's army seemed to be near Zhennan Pass did make him have a thought flash in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it firmly.
It's a lot of brains to think about things, especially this kind of thing that has no clues and can't be scrutinized, so Li Xunlian didn't want to think about it after thinking about it for a while, anyway, this matter doesn't have any impact on him at the moment, and he will encounter it in the future, and he won't bother to think about it if he doesn't meet it.
"Brother Xu, you are learning the Qi Breathing Technique, it won't be to assassinate the Qingxiao Emperor, right?" Speaking of the Qingxiao Emperor, Li Xunlian thought of this matter again. Previously, because of the discovery of the jade pendant and the pursuit of the Red Devil, he didn't ask for the time being.
Xu Lin turned his head to look at him, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How arrogant do I have to be to want to assassinate Zhu Yi?"
Li Xunlian also laughed, he was really an idiot when he asked this question, although Xu Lin was a little impulsive in his bones, but most of the time he was still relatively calm, he hated Zhu Yi for not remembering that it was true, but he would not be angry with Zhu Yi, not to mention that he was self-aware, assassinating Zhu Yi, ten Xu Lin was not enough.
"Where is Zhu Yi now?" In fact, as soon as Li Xunlian said the previous question, he wanted to change his words, because there was no reason and no possibility to assassinate Zhu Yi, so Xu Lin's purpose in relieving his qi should be to deal with Zhu Tong.
Zhu Tong is the eighth disciple of Ouyang Sword Saint, and he is a private disciple, not to mention anything else, the grace of enlightenment should be appreciated by Zhu Tong after all, but in the end, Zhu Tong used his teacher in order to deal with Li Xunlian, and caused the teacher to die, this hatred, Xu Lin must have kept it in mind.
"It should be recuperated in the imperial court, it is said that Zhu Duo's army swept Zhu Tong's 100,000 horses that day, and the two Shenhai powers around him tried their best to protect Zhu Tong, of course, those two Shenhai powers seem to have been poisoned in advance or something, otherwise Zhu Tong would not be too seriously injured. Xu Lin showed a look of reminiscence, these are all hearsay, he is a smart person, he knows that most of the rumors can't be true, so he doesn't believe it much, so he will recall it vigorously when he mentions it today.
Hearing this, Li Xunlian nodded, in fact, he thought that this possibility was still relatively large, firstly, he knew that Zhu Tong had at least two Shenhai powers around him, and secondly, he also agreed with the view of poisoning, and he felt that not only the Shenhai powers were poisoned, but it was very likely that the entire Zhu Tong army was poisoned, otherwise there was no reason to turn around and be completely annihilated by King Cheng.
"By the way, why is the destination of our trip Zhennanguan, do you have any suitable foothold over there?" Xu Lin asked curiously, because Li Xunlian didn't hesitate when he decided to go to Zhennanguan, he still had a certain understanding of Li Xunlian, and if he wasn't fully prepared, he shouldn't make a hasty decision. After all, the situation of the two of them is not particularly good now, if you don't get closer, there will be countless chasing soldiers within a hundred miles behind you, and it is likely that the master of the demon clan will personally lead the team.
"Of course, I'll take you to a paradise. Li Xunlian laughed and sold Guanzi.
Then Xu Lin didn't ask again, the two of them ate and drank, almost non-stop all the way, and finally came to the range of Zhennan Pass three days later.
Looking at it from a distance, the majestic city of Zhennanguan is located a hundred miles away, on both sides of the city, the towering giant peaks stand tall, Li Xunlian pointed to one of them, and said, "Let's go there." ”
"So, isn't that a bandit's lair, it is said that this bandit is quite good, you don't plan to rob their lair, right?" Xu Lin said with a frown and a half-joking.
"It seems that Brother Baili's reputation is really loud, even Brother Xu has heard of it. Li Xunlian smiled, and then hurried again.
Carefully sail the 10,000-year-old boat, Li Xunlian and Xu Lin all the way to the mountains and ridges that were selected, and when they arrived at the bandit village, it was already the evening of the same day, and someone found them on the high lookout platform of the cottage, and the feather arrow broke through the air to warn, and at the same time blew a kind of bull horn trumpet to transmit news to the village.
The two stopped, and then Li Xunlian stepped forward to raise his voice, shouting: "I'm Li Xunlian, I want to see Brother Baili!"
The people in the cottage know Li Xunlian, but the sky is dark and the distance is still far away so that they can't see their faces clearly, and after waiting for a while, there is a sudden sound of breaking the air in the village, and there is only one, the early days of Tianhe.
If the expectation is good, the person who came should be a hundred miles of light wind, originally he was the peak of Lingxi, but now it seems that he should have broken through.
After a while, the gate of the village was opened, and Baili Light Breeze appeared in sight with excitement on his face.
Li Xunlian was also extremely excited, this was the second familiar friend he had seen since returning to Kyushu.
"Brother Baili!" Li Xunlian shouted and walked forward.
The other party did not answer, but quickly came closer, grabbed Li Xunlian, and said excitedly: "It's really you, I know that your kid won't really have an accident!"
The accident he said naturally meant dying in Dragon Bone City, and this rumor had already blown all over the south, and Zhennanguan, which was on the border of the south, had also heard of it.
"How come, I still have to take revenge!" Li Xunlian said in a deep voice, to this day, he thought that Su Ke and the others were no longer sad, but instead full of motivation and resolute determination, Waichen must die, must die in his own hands!
"Who is this?" Baili Qingfeng turned to look at Xu Lin and opened his mouth with a fist.
"Oh, this is the eldest disciple of Ouyang Sword Saint, a veritable chivalrous warrior. Li Xunlian made an introduction.
"Now Xu Lin, I have long admired the name of Brother Baili. Xu Lin smiled and said, in fact, he didn't know what Baili Qingfeng's surname was before this, but he knew such a number one person.
In contrast, Xu Lin's secrecy work is not so good, to be precise, Xu Lin does not have any secrecy work, Yuzhou City is not far from Zhennanguan, and Baili Qingfeng has long heard of Xu Lin's chivalrous name.
"It turned out to be Xu Xiashi, enter quickly, the cold village is rough, Xu Xiashi should not be disgusted. "Baili Qingfeng likes to make friends with heroes, although the words are polite, but they are sincere.
Li Xunlian wanted to laugh from the sidelines, in fact, these two people were very open-minded and informal, and this time they were so polite, just because they had heard too much about each other, and they were afraid of losing their manners.
"Two big brothers, there's no need for this. Shall we all order it naturally?" Li Xunlian said with a smile.
The two were stunned when they heard this, and immediately looked at each other and laughed.
The dinner was quite rich, full of mountain delicacies and game, during the banquet Xu Lin sighed again and again the atmosphere in the village, he and Li Xunlian, the first time he came here, he was shocked by the paradise-like living environment.
"Brother Baili, you are the most well-informed, can you tell me about what has happened in Kyushu in the two months since I left?" Li Xunlian had already told his experience before, and he heard Baili Qingfeng and Xu Lin smack their tongues again and again, especially the infiltration of the demon clan to sweep the galaxy station, and the encounter with the Holy Soul of the Mixed Yuan Holy Lord in the Great Wilderness Mountain, which shocked the two of them.
"There are no more than three major events, first, King Cheng frantically counterattacked, annihilated Zhu Tong's army, and recovered the lost territory in the south in one fell swoop. Second, the barbarians are ready to move, and some troops have already marched into the Qingxiao borderland. Third ......"
Speaking of this, Baili Light Wind stopped, and looked at Li Xunlian with a little worry in his eyes.
Li Xunlian had already learned that there had been a change in the inn, so he was prepared in his heart, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Big brother just say it." ”
Baili Qingfeng nodded, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and sighed: "It is said that the three masters of your inn have rebelled, and the Dao Sect has officially declared war on the inn. ”
Obviously, he didn't say anything in detail, if the Dao Sect just declared war on the inn, then Li Xunlian had nothing to worry about, because the Dao Sect was not enough to fight the inn, and the reason why they dared was definitely to have some hole cards.
In fact, there is no need to say it in the next hundred miles of breeze, Li Xunlian can think of it himself, Wei Jiyuan, as the third shopkeeper of the inn, has the important task of protecting the mountain, and protecting the mountain naturally includes the mountain protection array, presumably this person has already revealed some secrets about the mountain protection array to the Dao Sect, so the Dao Sect is so arrogant.
Dare to threaten to start a war against the inn, if they don't have hole cards, aren't they crazy?
"During this time, I have also been in exchange with letters, according to him, the Taoist Sect once sent people to the Buddhist Sect to ask for a ban on the inn, on the grounds that the inn colluded with the barbarians to intend to do evil to the Qingxiao Kingdom. ”
"What did the Buddha Sect decide?" Li Xunlian asked as he put down his wine glass.
"The Buddhist sect was divided into two factions because of this matter, one group advocated assisting the Taoist sect in attacking, and the other group advocated waiting and seeing what happened. Baili Qingfeng said.
"Who is the main attacker, and who is subjective?" Li Xunlian meant who advocated attacking and who advocated wait-and-see.
"The first true master of Buddhism is the main attacker, and the master of Buddhism is subjective. Baili Qingfeng said.
Hearing this, Li Xunlian was not surprised. He has seen both Zhenjue and Qingjue, the first Zhenjue once looked at Li Xunlian and the second shopkeeper at the meeting of the four parties of the imperial court, which shows that he has a very prejudiced opinion of the inn, and Master Qingjue once visited the inn with a mirror and a round mirror, this person is upright and benevolent, and Li Xunlian has a good impression of him.
"What about Jingyuan?" Li Xunlian asked with a smile, in fact, he smiled very reluctantly, among his peers, only Jingyuan and Zhu Tong could make him look at each other differently, and now he and Zhu Tong have already broken up, so he really doesn't want to have a conflict with Jingyuan.
"Jing Yuan meant to help the inn, but this was just what he told me, because he was now in a special position in Buddhism, and he needed to speak carefully, and he also knew that no one would agree with him even if he stood up. Baili Qingfeng said.
Li Xunlian has a good relationship with Baili Qingfeng, but obviously Baili Qingfeng has a higher relationship with Jingyuan, but Li Xunlian knows that he will not deliberately say good things for Jingyuan, since he said so, then Jingyuan must think so.
There is a slight gratitude in his heart, and at the same time, Li Xunlian is also slightly disdainful of everyone in the Buddhist Sect except for Jingyuan, the inn collusion with the barbarians is obviously framed by the Taoist Sect, which is nothing to say at all, those who advocate wait-and-see in the Buddhist Sect are okay, it is nothing more than to have the mentality of being pure in the world and not causing disputes, but the main battle faction headed by the first Buddha Sect, I am afraid that its mind is to take the opportunity to do away with the inn, and even the Taoist Sect will be eradicated, and then dominate the Kyushu Sect.
Li Xunlian didn't particularly care about these, because the big shopkeeper is the sky, and there is a big shopkeeper in the Buddha Dao Lingzong who can't make any waves for the time being, and it's not too late to think about these things when he handles the affairs of the south.
Turning his head to look at the hundred miles of breeze, Li Xunlian just wanted to toast, but saw the former's eyes flickering, as if he wanted to speak and stopped......
Seeing Li Xunlian turn his head, Baili Qingfeng immediately picked up his wine glass and coughed away from Li Xunlian's gaze to hide his embarrassment.
Although he didn't have much time and time to contact Baili Qingfeng, Li Xunlian knew that he was a person, bold, open-minded, ambitious, and ambitious, such a person should not have the same expression on his face as just now.
What does he want to say, and what is he afraid of?
"Brother Baili, just say anything straightforwardly. Li Xunlian asked suspiciously, and at the same time raised his glass to pour wine for Baili Qingfeng, because after Baili Qingfeng took the cup, he found that there was no wine in the cup at all.
"Alas!" Baili Qingfeng sighed, it was okay if Li Xunlian didn't find his abnormality, since he found out, he simply said it with his character, but before he spoke, Baili Qingfeng patted Li Xunlian on the shoulder and said, "You have to be mentally prepared, what I want to say may make you ......"
"It's okay, Brother Baili said it directly. Li Xunlian smiled, since the Southern Expedition, in just a year or so, he has experienced too many things, and there are almost no good things, now, his mentality has become more and more mature, if he was just more shrewd than his peers before, then now he is not only smarter than his peers, undoubtedly mature in mind, but also far beyond his peers.
"Okay, then I'll say it, don't be in a hurry to get angry when you hear it, and don't be impulsive. Baili Qingfeng took a sip of wine and said the words of appeasement first.
Li Xunlian knew that it was another depressive thing when he heard this, especially the words "don't be impulsive" in Baili Qingfeng's words, which showed that the situation might be more serious than he expected.
Seeing that Li Xunlian was very calm, Baili Qingfeng knew that he was mentally prepared, and at the same time, he also felt that it was better to tell him some things earlier, after all, Li Xunlian was here now, and he could take care of himself. If you learn about this incident when you encounter any danger one day, it will make Li Xunlian mess up and fall into danger.
"Your friend, that Hu Wan, has completely fallen into the devil's path. Baili Qingfeng said.
Hearing this, Li Xunlian nodded, this matter was expected by him, although it had a great impact on him, but because of his long-term psychological preparation, he was easy to accept and did not overreact.
However, Li Xunlian is very clear about Li, what Baili Qingfeng said should not be this matter, and Baili Qingfeng observed his expression after finishing speaking, which shows that he is considering whether to say the next thing.
"Brother Baili, this is very torturous, you better finish it all at once. Li Xunlian laughed, he understood very well that no matter what happened, he would need to face it after all. However, he also has things he doesn't want to face now, Baili Qingfeng mentioned Hu Wan, emphasizing the word friend, Li Xunlian is afraid that the next thing may be related to Gu Panxi, if that's the case, I'm afraid he really can't accept it. Now, I can only hope that I think about it more.
"After he became a demon, he slaughtered all sides in Middle-earth, and many sects have been attacked by him, and now he has almost become an enemy in the rivers and lakes, and because he once had the identity of the second son of the inn, many sects led by Daozong also took this opportunity to point the finger at the big shopkeeper. Baili Qingfeng paused as he spoke, twisted the water cup, looked at Li Xunlian's eyes with deep meaning, and said: "According to reliable information, he is also with a young woman......
Airplanes!
Li Xunlian only felt a roar in his mind, although there are many young women in the world, but there are probably only two people who can have a relationship with Hu Wan, one is Gu Panxi, and the other is the elder sister Li Yanran......
Obviously, no matter which one it is, it will make Li Xunlian mess up!
Since it is said that there is no need to shy away from Baili Qingfeng, it is better to say it directly so that Li Xunlian can face it as soon as possible, so he said again: "That woman is quite strong, she is good at using a long sword, it is said that she is infused with the soul of the Xuanqi trigger, but one weapon gives birth to two souls, it is the Vermilion Bird Bai Ze Divine Beast, but it is a bloodthirsty xenomorph ......"
"Sister......" Li Xunlian Mu Ran whispered, he only heard the use of a long sword, and almost didn't hear much later.
Xu Lin gently patted Li Xunlian on the shoulder from the side, although he didn't know Li Xunlian's past and details, but the word "sister" was a person who understood what it meant.
Seeing this, Baili Qingfeng shook his head slightly at Xu Lin, signaling him to leave Li Xunlian alone, because it is useless to persuade him now, he must be allowed to vent his emotions, and if he wants to persuade him, he will persuade him after he calms down a little.
"It has been confirmed that the woman's name is Li Yanran, who has participated in the smelting competition, and is your sister. Baili Qingfeng continued, the reason why he deliberately said it again was to confirm the accuracy of this news, and now it seems that it is indeed as rumored outside.
"But don't worry, she has now been controlled by the Buddha Sect, and she cleanses her mind with the secret mantra of the Buddha every day, and I believe that she will be able to get out of the demon sea soon. Baili Qingfeng said again.
Hearing this, Li Xunlian turned his head and said, "When is it?"
"About a month ago. ”
"Where is it closed, the main hall of the Buddha Sect?" Li Xunlian asked again, and the anger in his eyes flashed away.
Baili Qingfeng is a smart person, so he naturally saw Li Xunlian's thoughts at a glance, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, your sister has a mirror to take care of, so there will be no problems." ”
As if he felt that it must not be enough, Baili Qingfeng changed his words again: "There will definitely be no problems, and I have deliberately instructed it." ”
"Thank you, Brother Baili. Li Xunlian raised his glass to toast, with the words of a hundred miles of breeze, he could still be a little more relieved, but rest assured that it was only relative, he believed that Jingyuan would try his best to help the old sister not to be used as a bargaining chip by those scheming guys in the Buddhist sect, but he also knew that Jingyuan was not the first seat of the Buddhist sect after all, and it was difficult to do things in it, and he could not protect the old lady in essence.
As for why the old lady became like Hu Wan and fell into the devil's path, these are not his primary relationship goals, the only thing he is worried about now is the safety of the old sister.
However, according to Baili Qingfeng, things should not be too bad, and he has been imprisoned in the Buddha Sect for more than a month, which shows that the Buddha Sect has no idea of making a move on Li Yanran for the time being, or in their opinion, the time has not yet come, which means that Li Yanran is safe for the time being, but this security is likely to be broken at any time.
"I'm going back to Zhongzhou. Li Xunlian thought for a moment and said calmly, in fact, he is not calm in his heart now, the reason why he wants to pretend to be calm is to appease Baili Qingfeng and Xu Lin, if these two people see their impulses, they will definitely stop it.
"It's reasonable for you to go back, but brother listen to me, don't force your way into the Buddha Sect, you don't have that ability now, and the relationship between the Buddha Sect and the inn is quite delicate, the reason why those main battle factions have not made a decision for a long time, the resistance is not the Qingjue Master, but they are considering the pros and cons, if you offend the Buddha Sect at this time, it is equivalent to lighting a fuse. "Hundred miles of light breeze has far-reaching insight and patiently explained.
Li Xunlian nodded when he heard this, he also knew and agreed with what Baili Qingfeng said, but he still wanted to go back and have a look. And he also knew that the reason why the Buddha sect detained the elder sister was probably another purpose, that is, to take precautions and wait for him to appear, so as to act as a bargaining chip at a critical moment.
The news that the innkeeper died in the Dragon Bone City is heavy news, no less than Zhu Tong's army being wiped out outside the Dragon Bone City, Buddhism, as one of the three major forces in the world, it is impossible not to hear of it, but they don't believe it very much, after all, Li Xun can't even die without a corpse, and those who have a little brain will not be easy about this rumor.
Speaking of the wine jar and taking a few sips, Li Xunlian's mind slowly calmed down, and he had to keep himself calm, because impulsive decisions could easily lead to things getting worse.
As a younger brother, he should indeed rush to Buddhism now, whether it is to save people or show his face, it is all due to human nature and an expression of family affection.
But he suppressed this impulse, because he understood that once he showed up, Li Yanran's safety would not only not be guaranteed, but it was even very likely that he would be in danger because of this, and at the same time, if he didn't get it right, he would implicate the inn, making the big shopkeeper hinder the Buddhism.
Like this, Li Xunlian thought carefully for a long time, and then sighed and made a decision.
He can't go back, and going back seems to be what he should do, but in fact it is harming others and himself......
There are some things that can be figured out and controlled, but this does not mean that there will be no suffering, knowing that his sister is locked up in Buddhism but cannot be saved, Li Xunlian is very angry, and he has an urge to kill.
Grabbing the wine jar and drinking again, Li Xunlian gritted his teeth, he was going to stay here for a few days, but now it seems that it will not work, he must deal with the affairs of the south as soon as possible, and then find a way to return to Shenjian Peak to meet the big treasurer.
The reason why he said to think of a way was because he knew that in this situation, the radius of Divine Sword Peak would definitely be all over the eyes of the forces led by the Dao Sect, as long as there were suspicious people moving near Divine Sword Peak, it would definitely attract their attention.
