Chapter 64

There is a banner standing in the rivers and lakes, and throughout the past, whether it is the evil cultivation or the turmoil in the sky, this flag has always fluttered in the wind, and no one has shaken it.

The name of this flag is the inn.

Perhaps in the eyes of the public, Taoism and Buddhism are the representatives of the forces of the rivers and lakes, but those who have a little insight will know that the only one that can truly represent the extreme of the rivers and lakes is the inn.

Now Su said that the three shopkeepers wanted to destroy the inn and re-erect the banner, which could not be more obvious, that is, the three shopkeepers wanted to completely overthrow the existing order of the inn, and then re-establish an order, an order controlled by Wei Jiyuan.

Of course, this is the pursuit that the three shopkeepers have never given up, and everyone knows it, and they don't care about it. After all, as long as the big shopkeeper reigns for one day, he Wei Jiyuan has no qualifications or ability to hold the inn in his hands.

Li Xunlian frowned and looked at Su Qi, he was obviously not talking nonsense when he said such a well-known thing in such a tone, but had a deep meaning.

"Do you mean that the third shopkeeper is just trying to confuse us and make us think that he is just going to consume the big shopkeeper, but in fact there is a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it?" asked Li Xunlian.

Su nodded and asked rhetorically, "Do you think the third shopkeeper is stupid?" ”

The third shopkeeper is stupid, obviously the answer is no.

Li Xunlian somewhat understood, with the scheming of the three shopkeepers, he should not expose himself to danger without being completely sure. What is the danger, it is dangerous to consume the great treasurer by requisitioning the king, because even if he succeeds, he cannot directly push the great treasurer off the altar, but will bring great disasters to himself.

It is precisely because he is not stupid that it is counterintuitive to do such a thing. The third shopkeeper is certainly not the kind of person who acts impulsively when he sees the slightest interest, and there is only one reason why he does this-

This time, he is more than eighty percent sure that he can directly destroy the inn!

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian gasped, he had seen things too simple before, and he was almost confused by the superficial methods of the three shopkeepers, but now that he thinks about it, it is really terrifying.

After calming down a little, Li Xunlian said again: "Then in your opinion, why did the third shopkeeper dare to take such a risk?"

"Reckless?" Su sneered and said, "This is not a reckless move, but a chance to win!"

Li Xunlian shook his head helplessly and said, "Big brother, can we not chew the words, you can tell me, why does he think he has the chance to win." ”

"This ...... I don't know. Su shook his head in embarrassment and said, "If I can guess, he still has a fart, but what is certain is that things are by no means so simple, and it seems that there are other forces involved in the end." ”

Other forces, could it be that the third shopkeeper has completely betrayed the inn and secretly colluded with other forces......

"This matter must be reported to the treasurer as soon as possible. The light in Li Xunlian's hand flickered, and a pen and paper flashed out of the Sumeru ring.

"Wait. Su stopped him, "Don't worry, think about it, the big shopkeeper knows that Wei Jiyuan is an unstable factor, but still gives him the responsibility of protecting the mountain, is this just out of appeasement or trust?"

Hearing this, Li Xunlian also felt that there was some truth, the third shopkeeper is not stupid, is the big shopkeeper stupid?

Obviously, no one is stupid, and the powerful relationship between this is probably beyond what Li Xunlian, a junior, can imagine. However, the big shopkeeper has some problems with being arrogant, and he entrusted Wei Jiyuan with the important task, but he also wanted to prove his trust in Wei Jiyuan.

"What we have to do now is to study how to deal with King Cheng, as long as we can do this well, Wei Jiyuan can be regarded as having great ability, and it is estimated that he will not be able to make any waves. ”

This statement is very much in line with Li Xunlian's mind, after his analysis, as long as he does not have accidents in the process of conquering the king, the big shopkeeper can sit firmly on the Divine Sword Peak, and the Divine Sword Peak with the big treasurer and the Divine Sword Peak without the big treasurer are completely two places. In other words, as long as the big treasurer is still in Shenjian Peak, then no one in the world dares to covet this place.

Thinking about it, what kind of bargaining chips Wei Jiyuan has, it is nothing more than holding the mountain protection array of Divine Sword Peak. If the big shopkeeper is not there, he is very likely to join forces with other forces to take down the Divine Sword Peak, but with the big treasurer in charge, even if the gate of the Divine Sword Peak is opened, who in this world will not dare to come to the door to make a mistake.

Thinking like this, Li Xunlian settled down, and no matter how thorough the plan of the three shopkeepers was, for the time being, it was all based on the premise that it was unfavorable for him to conquer the king, as long as this point was solved, then the three shopkeepers would be unable to continue, and there was no way to carry out the conspiracy.

"Listening to your words, I suddenly became enlightened. Li Xunlian's mood improved and he began to tease him.

"Laugh and laugh. Su waved his hand, pretending to be modest.

Of course, even if this most important link is summed up, it still cannot be said that this matter will fall into the control of Li Xunlian and others, because it is not a simple matter to avoid accidents in the process of conquering the king.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that occupying the right time and place is the best fighter, and now the king is firmly in the south, and has a natural advantage in terms of geographical environment, which is the geographical advantage.

Moreover, King Cheng has a high prestige in the south, whether he is sincere for the people or deliberately put on a show, anyway, the people in the south still support him. In many cases, wars are not only fought for which side has more soldiers, but also involves the hearts of the people, so throughout the ages, those who cause trouble will find a reason to be able to convince the public, and those who have no legitimate reason but still rise up will be regarded by the world as chaotic ministers and thieves, and in the end most of them fail to end well, which is the importance of people.

Obviously, although King Cheng is not human, he is not far behind.

As for the time of day, this point is really occupied by the king. At present, it is becoming more and more difficult to ingest Xuan Qi, compared to the beginning, it has been more than doubled, Li Xun has a lot of strange encounters, so it is not very obvious, but most people do not have this capital and creation.

According to what Su said, many of the 1,500 guards cultivated by Li Yuexiao had not entered the country for a few days, which was a world different from when he first started.

You must know that this group of people is by no means comparable to ordinary Xuan Xiu, if the Kyushu body veins are divided into three categories, they are at least in the middle, and their talent is not bad, and there is a master like Su to personally guide them, not to mention that the cultivation is a thousand miles a day, it is also a rapid growth.

By now, the 1,500 guards had all reached the Guxuan realm, and a few of them had even reached the peak of the Guxuan, and they could step into the Lingxi realm in the blink of an eye.

Of course, these people were in the realm around the middle of Guxuan before they came. But in less than a year, he was able to ascend from the middle stage of Guxuan to the peak, which is normally something that only those geniuses can accomplish. In contrast, if ordinary Xuan Xiu wants to have such an improvement, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop it for two years.

However, this great momentum was slowly curbed in the difficulty of ingesting Xuan Qi, otherwise according to Su Qi's estimates, there should be about thirty to fifty Lingxi Realm powerhouses by the end of this year.

Lingxi Realm, even if it is a top team like the Dark Owl Iron Guard, it is only thirty-six Lingxi Xuan cultivators.

If there is such a team, I believe that there will be a lot of resistance in the process of conquering the king.

However, all this can only be a beautiful idea, because Xuan Qi is difficult to ingest, and it is difficult for their strength to improve quickly, and even improving, which is already considered a blessing.

Therefore, this is the time of day for King Cheng, his troops are almost all composed of ordinary martial artists, and whether or not they can absorb Xuan Qi has nothing to do with them. In contrast, Xuan Xiu, who does not have enough Xuan Qi support, will have a great reduction in strength, and will definitely suffer a big loss in the face of the heavily armed troops equipped with Xuan Breaking Arrow Crossbows.

And as far as Li Xunlian knows, the heavy troops in the hands of King Cheng must have at least more than 20,000 people!

The time and place are favorable, and the king is almost all occupied, and it is really difficult to maintain no accidents in this kind of war.

"This battle is hard, and a slight mistake is the result of rewriting the pattern of the world. ”

The two of them had already come to the water pavilion from the dining hall, but they looked at the sunset in the west, and the river was red, and said quietly.

He is right, the conquest of King Cheng seems to be only about King Cheng, the inn, and the royal court, but in fact, it has already affected the general trend of the world, not to mention that there are mysterious forces involved, if it goes well, then there is nothing to say, if it doesn't go well, the turmoil in Kyushu is likely to be staged in advance.

Li Xunlian calmly watched the red sun sink away, it was useless to worry about the matter at this point, and it was the right way to take every step carefully.

"How many men will the Imperial Court send?" Su asked.

"Zhu Tong personally went out to march and led 100,000 troops. Li Xunlian replied.

"One hundred thousand?" Su frowned slightly when he heard this, "Isn't one hundred thousand a little less?"

Less, indeed less. But this is also a helpless thing, although only King Cheng is unveiling the rod at the moment, but Qingxiao Huang knows that King Liang and King Xi seem to be calm, but in fact, they have already been eyeing each other, and there are even more barbarians in the northwest who are ready to move, all of which require a large number of troops to prevent, so before things show a decline, the imperial court will not directly mobilize a large number of troops.

Of course, a big war involving hundreds of thousands of people will definitely not be solved overnight, a tug-of-war is inevitable, and if it cannot be attacked for a long time, it is also feasible for the imperial court to send reinforcements.

It's just that this matter is a normal deployment of troops in the imperial court, but in Su's view, it is extremely unfavorable to Li Xunlian.

"We don't have a large number of troops, we don't have domineering siege equipment, and more importantly, we can't see the soldiers as tools, every life has to be cherished. Su shook his head and sighed, he was afraid to think about it deeply, originally it was as simple as four words to conquer King Cheng, but after detailed analysis, he realized the difficulty of this matter.

It is even an exaggeration to say that the so-called conquest is tantamount to sending people to death......

The sunset is gradually sinking into the horizon, the darkness is shrouded, and now it is approaching the beginning of summer, knowing the squeak, the night breeze with a little coolness, afraid that it will rain again.

Li Xunlian and Su stood on the edge of the water pavilion for a long time and did not move, and the two of them pondered separately, it can be said that since Li Xunlian was born, they have never encountered such trouble. Of course, this is also a great test for him. If this matter is solved perfectly, then it will be of great benefit to both him and inherit the inn to dominate the rivers and lakes in the future.

"It's an experience. Retracting his gaze from the dark lake, Su patted Li Xunlian on the shoulder and said.

Li Xunlian turned his head to look, and from his eyes, he could see some kind of inexplicable emotion, as if to say that this is something you have to experience, and only after experiencing it can you move towards a farther future.

I don't know why, but Li Xunlian knows that Su has some secrets in his heart that he can't tell himself, but they are secrets about himself......

"Honestly, I'm curious about where you are sacred. Li Xunlian smiled lightly and said, he couldn't ask or question, otherwise he might put pressure on Su.

"Sacred, have you ever seen a slave called a sacred? Su grinned and perfunctory the question: "By the way, when will you leave, and what kind of support will the big shopkeeper give you?"

Since people don't want to talk about it, Li Xunlian didn't continue on this topic, "The time to leave will wait for the imperial court to notice, it will take a certain amount of time for them to prepare the soldiers and horses, as for the big shopkeeper, I don't want him to transfer people from Shenjian Peak." ”

Su was stunned at first, and then smiled: "It's okay." ”

Li Xunlian thought that he still had a follow-up, but after waiting for a while, he found that Su was silent, and he was a little curious for no reason, and he felt that he couldn't see through Su for no reason.

Su looked at Li Xunlian out of the corner of his eye, he deliberately forcibly interrupted the topic, because if he said too much, he would lose, and some words could not be said to Li Xunlian now, so he could only babble in his heart.

"Perhaps, these 1,500 people, this war in the true sense of the word will be the beginning of his contact with the Origin......

Thinking silently, neither of them spoke again until it was late in the night, and they went back to their houses to rest.

In the following days, Li Xunlian stayed with many guards every day, except for the basic Xuanqi cultivation, and this group of people was going to live and die with his brothers in the near future, and there must be no barriers between them.

Regarding the matter of conquest of the king, Li Xunlian naturally made it clear to everyone, and solemnly stated that this matter is difficult to determine, and there are many auspicious and unlucky. If you win, it will be of great benefit to your own experience and future prospects, but this is based on the premise that you are very likely to die on the battlefield, so the autonomy of choice is in everyone's hands, if you don't want to participate in this matter, just express it directly, Li Xunlian absolutely completely understands and still treats everyone equally.

The guards were silent at first, and suddenly heard that this kind of thing had befallen them, and anyone would be enlightened, but after a short silence, they all expressed their willingness to follow the son and serve for life before and after the saddle.

This made Li Xunlian a little stunned, he never expected that none of these men would choose to quit. It stands to reason that someone should quit this matter, and even if they quit, it doesn't prove that this person is greedy for life and afraid of death or whatever, because when Li Xunlian hired them, he just said that he wanted to protect Li Yue Xiaozhu.

What's more, Li Xunlian doesn't have any real friendship with them, although they usually get along happily, but this does not mean that they have formed a lifelong friendship.

"Think carefully and don't be impulsive. Li Xunlian asked solemnly.

The guards fell silent again, obviously there was still some impulsiveness just now, but after a second thought, none of them raised any objections, and only a few asked a few questions.

"Childe, won't we be innkeepers in the future?" asked a stout man, in a loud voice.

Li Xunlian looked at the two of them, but saw that this life had big shoulders and a round waist, a full face and a beard, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the second shopkeeper, but it was much darker than the second shopkeeper.

"No, you are my Li Xunlian's personal force, and you have nothing to do with the inn. Li Xunlian replied after thinking about it, the reason why he wanted to say this was to stop everyone from taking the opportunity to climb the inn, not because he disliked everyone, but because he didn't want them to block their lives because they just wanted to climb high branches.

"Private forces...... Dahan frowned, obviously having some calculations in his heart.

There are not a few people like him, it seems that Su usually instills the inn idea in them, whether it is out of yearning or what, anyway, Li Xunlian can see that they are all eager to become a member of the inn.

However, after becoming a member of the inn, there is no choice, and many times, even if you know that you will die, you have to fight for morality, which may not be a good thing for them, or the inn is not a good home.

Because Li Xunlian has a hunch that the inn will soon undergo a major change, maybe it was initiated by the three shopkeepers, or maybe something else, anyway, it will no longer be as calm as before, and it has entered an "eventful autumn".

In this case, he didn't want more people to jump into this self-owned force that seemed to dominate the rivers and lakes, but in fact it was very likely to become a fire pit.

"Think carefully, make a good decision, and later report the family name, and there are old and young people who are not allowed to participate in this matter. Li Xunlian reminded.

Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Li Xunlian, who was laughing, was confused and frowned deeply.

"Laughing at what?"

"No wonder Brother Su said that the big shopkeeper of your inn is the shopkeeper who shakes his hands, you are the handshaker son, don't you know, before we came, Brother Su had already verified this matter, our gang of people, all of them are one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry. ”

A guard at the peak of Gu Xuan said with a smile, their relationship with Su Ke was actually better than with Li Xunlian, after all, they were mixed all day long, and Brother Su called them Su Qi.

This person Li Xunlian recognizes him, his name is Ruan Dongfeng, except that he looks much better than Hu Wan, and he is simply a copy of Hu Wan in other aspects. It is precisely because of this that Li Xunlian pays attention to him.

"Hey, it's just that you secretly say bad things about the big shopkeeper, and you even say bad things about me. Li Xunlian looked at Su Ke with a smile, and the latter whistled and looked away, not at all.

Seeing that Su didn't care about himself, Li Xunlian asked again: "What else did your Brother Su say?"

Hearing this topic, the guards immediately became interested, and one by one they scrambled to say all the things that they didn't have, the good and the bad that they didn't have on weekdays. Su listened from the sidelines, at first he didn't care, but when he heard someone say that he wanted to peek at so-and-so taking a bath, he seemed to be silent anymore, and he stepped forward and coaxed and frightened, which stopped the man's words.

"Peeking at so-and-so taking a bath, who is this so-and-so?" Li Xunlian chuckled in his heart, but if this bastard dared to peek at Gu Panxi taking a bath, this matter would be fine.

"Hey, hey, nobody, nobody. Su sneered, obviously having a ghost in his heart. After speaking, he pushed the man again, and said angrily: "Brother, how can you talk nonsense, I am such a person...... I'm that kind of person, but I still understand the truth that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, so don't keep making my rumors in the future. ”

Li Xunlian heard that he could not give up, but this thing must have peeked at so-and-so taking a bath, and this so-and-so was either Gu Panxi or Li Yanran, otherwise he would never have said anything about the grass on the edge of the nest.

"You won't be ......" Li Xunlian forced forward, he really took Su but couldn't help it, this product is so virtuous, he didn't do this lack of virtue when he was at Shenjian Peak, but he didn't expect that Li Yue Xiaozhu was still dead and difficult to change, be angry with him, really can't be born, don't be angry with him, this thing is indeed a bit annoying.

"Hey, hey, don't worry. Su choked his teeth and smiled evilly, and whispered: "Don't worry, I don't like small breasts." ”

Since Li Xunlian wants to rest assured, it means that it is not Gu Panxi who is peeking at him, as for this small-breasted ......

In fact, compared with Li Yanran's turbulent waves, Gu Panxi does not seem to have developed very well......

"Oh, I'll ...... this" Li Xunlian just wanted to say that I was relieved, but then I thought it was wrong, even if I didn't look at Gu Panxi, I couldn't look at my sister!

"I said can you be honest with this thing, I really don't have a problem with you. Li Xunlian shook his head helplessly, but to be honest, after knowing that it was not Gu Panxi who Su was peeking at, he was really not so excited.

"Hey, hey, yes, I won't watch it in the future. ”

"Get out of the way, hehe. Li Xunlian scolded with a smile, and suddenly thought of Hu Wan again, so he said: "Let me tell you, Hu Wan is aiming at my sister, don't get it to the end, you two will have a jealous fight again." ”

"Don't worry, the type I like is delicate, and I can't control it strongly. Su pouted, obviously thinking of Mei Wu.

The conversation between them in private has always been like this, one does not look like a son, the other does not look like an attendant, in short, there is nothing good......

After talking like this for a while, the original serious atmosphere was also lost, and Li Xunlian simply stopped exploring this matter, anyway, the matter is not something that can be accurately decided in a while, give them some time to think about it, so as not to regret it in the future.

Wufei Rabbit walked the sunset and the moon rose, and in a blink of an eye, it was a few days, this day was clear, after breakfast, Li Xunlian was dragged by Gu Panxi to accompany her up the mountain to pick what dog tail flowers, and her face was full of reluctance.

The mountain is a low mountain, surrounded by Li Yuexiaozhu, there are almost no tall trees here, the mountains are full of fresh flowers and plants, only some waist-length shrubs are also lush and lush, less the depression of the deep mountain old forest, more of a refreshing feeling.

When she arrived at the mountain, Gu Panxi was like a happy foal, swaying her ponytail and running around, obviously no one had played with her for a long time.

Li Xunlian watched quietly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, to be honest, Gu Panxi felt a little bit big, but it was this kind of "dumb" liveliness that attracted Li Xunlian even more.

"Hey, there's a wolf over there!" Suddenly, Gu Panxi pointed to the bushes on the east side and shouted excitedly.

As a Xuan Xiu, she is naturally not afraid of wolves, and this animal is not rare, but Li Yue Xiaozhu has not appeared much in the vicinity, not to mention that Gu Panxi is still a lively character, so she is extremely excited at the moment.

Li Xunlian was a little puzzled when he heard this, how could there be wolves in this Xiaopo Mountain......

turned his head to look, but saw a black shadow in the depths of the bushes quickly shuttle and escape, what kind of wolf is this, it is clearly a person in wolf skin!

Li Xunlian frowned, and his heart finally calmed down for a few days, what kind of moth was born......
