Crusade against King Cheng, it stands to reason that the inn has a motive but no reason to meddle in this matter, you must know that King Cheng has more than 200,000 soldiers in the south, whether these 200,000 male soldiers are elite or not for the time being, even if they are just some rabble, it is enough to be comparable to thousands of Gu Xuan Realm monks!

Maybe 200,000 is comparable to thousands, but it should be noted that it is the Gu Xuan Realm and not the Open Xuan Realm, Kyushu is so big, except for the two sects of the Inn and the Buddha Dao, no force can take 2,000 Gu Xuan Realm monks.

If these 200,000 male soldiers are converted into Kaixuan Realm monks, it is more than 20,000, and in this way, the power of Cheng Wang is clearly visible.

With 20,000 Xuan Xiu in hand, who dares to say that he is not a hard bone to become a king!

During the banquet, Emperor Qingxiao talked about this matter, and Li Xunlian's first reaction was to study in-depth and make a decision first, but he didn't expect the third shopkeeper to accept it......

The third shopkeeper is a tall man with a white face and beard, who looks a little thin, and unlike Li Xunlian's scholarly image, he feels a little sickly. But it's such an appearance, but his eyes often shine brightly, and no matter who looks at it, he will never be a stupid person.

But now, he agreed to this thing, which was likely to cost the inn a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and deep down, he must have some idea that he would not be an outsider.

And this idea, Li Xunlian can guess a thing or two.

As the No. 3 person in the inn, the third shopkeeper is a strong contender for the position of the big shopkeeper. For so many years, he has been subservient to others, and he has long been indignant. In terms of strength, he is naturally not the opponent of the big shopkeeper, but looking at Kyushu, it is also a pinnacle existence. If it is a wheel machine, then he will be far too large a shopkeeper.

This person has ambitions and ambitions, advocating the transformation of the inn from a power in the rivers and lakes to a political force, and dominating the world is only the first step in his opinion, and even the expedition to the galaxy is also in his blueprint.

However, the big shopkeeper vetoed his strategy, which made him depressed, and even in the depths of his heart, he already had the idea of replacing him.

There is another thing worth mentioning, including Hu Wan, who joined later, among the three sons of the inn, only Wei Shaoning is related by blood, which to a certain extent can show that he wants to emulate the hereditary system of the imperial court.

Now, he agreed to crusade against King Cheng for three reasons.

First, this can allow the inn to officially step into the political arena and further enhance the influence and popularity of the inn among the people, because under the control of the big shopkeeper, although the inn is powerful, it is not known to ordinary people.

Second, he is taking the opportunity to curry favor with Qingxiao Emperor, because only Qingxiao Emperor can play a certain role in checking and balancing the big shopkeeper in the world, which will be of great benefit to him in the future to compete for the position of the big shopkeeper.

Third, if Li Xunlian guessed correctly, he would definitely use this to weaken the strength of the big shopkeeper, that is, he was likely to recommend Li Xunlian as a representative to carry out this expedition.

In the midst of his own guess, Qingxiao Huang and the three shopkeepers pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatting happily. Drinking Dao Xingtou, Qingxiao Emperor changed his words and said: "After all, this matter is important, I don't know the three shopkeepers ......"

What Qingxiao Huang wants to say is that I don't know if the three shopkeepers will be able to make a decision, after all, the conquest of King Cheng is not to deal with some Jianghu forces, if this matter is not personally agreed by the big shopkeeper, Qingxiao Huang is not completely at ease.

Who knows, the third shopkeeper raised his glass and said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper understands the righteousness, and he will definitely not oppose this matter." What's more, King Cheng and the eldest son of my inn also have a grudge, both public and private, our inn should take action. ”

In this way, this black cauldron fell on Li Xunlian's head instead.

"Wait, there is a personal grudge between me and King Cheng, and when the time comes, I will personally come to collect debts, and there is no need to have anything to do with this war. Li Xunlian deliberately emphasized the word war, he wanted to tell the three shopkeepers that this is not the time to fight scheming, war is not child's play, and the people are struggling at every turn. I can't carry this black cauldron, you have to think about it too.

"What is this called!" The third shopkeeper stood up, looking like he had drunk too much, only to see his angry eyes wide, his sickly face flushed with wine red, and said: "You are the eldest son of the inn, in other words, that is the head and face of our inn, you have a grudge against King Cheng and have to endure it, so won't the forces of the world look down on us?"

The words of the third shopkeeper are very level, but Li Xunlian knows that he did it deliberately, in fact, this person is very scheming, and he said this in order to leave a reckless image in the eyes of Emperor Qingxiao.

As for why he left this image, because he also wanted Emperor Qingxiao to use him. There is one of the most clever means in the world, that is, anti-use, and the three shopkeepers are very good at this.

He did not dare to challenge the big shopkeeper for a long time, that is, it was difficult to compete with the big shopkeeper with his own vein without external support, and now the opportunity is in front of him, whether he can seize it depends on his means.

However, he believed that Emperor Qingxiao would not let him down, because in the whole world, the only force that could really threaten the royal family was the inn, and the big shopkeeper was the biggest threat to Emperor Qingxiao himself.

"Hey, there are 8,000 disciples in the inn, I am in charge of 3,000, the second shopkeeper is in charge of 1,000, and the big shopkeeper is in charge of 4,000. The third shopkeeper secretly thought to himself, the one or two that he imagined that were removed were naturally the people of the big shopkeeper.

Moreover, there may be Li Xunlian's body among these people.

Of course, Qingxiao Huang is not the kind of shallow person, just looking at the surface, he will easily make a conclusion about a person, especially an important person like the third treasurer, he has to observe carefully before deciding whether to use this as an opportunity.

"Three shopkeepers, you drank too much. Li Xunlian borrowed the donkey from the slope and came directly.

Didn't you pretend to be drunk and provoke me with words, then well, then I will fulfill you.

The third shopkeeper was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Li Xunlian to say this. Getting drunk at the banquet of Emperor Qingxiao, it was really a shameful thing, and it would discredit the inn when he said it, he thought that Li Xunlian would not say it directly because of this, but he didn't expect that this kid would not play cards according to common sense.

"I really haven't seen you so out of shape at Divine Sword Peak, to be honest, if you drink too much, hurry up and pack up and rest. Li Xunlian smiled evilly, and directly put all the responsibility for this loss of inn face on the head of the third shopkeeper.

Qingxiao Emperor seemed to see something, and he wasn't prepared to let this opportunity disappear easily. The fighting method between Li Xunlian and the three shopkeepers is the epitome of the battle of the inn, and if you observe it carefully, you can further understand the current affairs of the inn.

"The virtuous nephew listens to the emperor's words. Emperor Qingxiao began to change the topic and said: "You are right, this expedition is a very important matter, and a hasty decision should not be said to be the three shopkeepers, even the emperor will not easily agree, if there is no personal promise from the big shopkeeper, this matter will not be allowed." ”

Li Xunlian nodded, he still didn't know what medicine was sold in the Qingxiao Emperor's gourd.

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow, since I have already said it, how can there be any reason not to count?" The third shopkeeper still pretended to be crazy and stupid.

However, Emperor Qingxiao waited for this sentence, and after hearing it, he smiled directly: "In this case, the emperor will take a compromise method." Your inn is involved in the requisition, but the Imperial Court will give you enough compensation, how about it?"

Qingxiao Huang said this to Li Xunlian, because he knew that Li Xunlian represented the position of the big shopkeeper to a large extent, and the degree to which the big shopkeeper trusted Li Xunlian had been verified before, as long as Li Xunlian nodded, this matter would be completed.

"What reward?" Li Xunlian didn't cheat, if the reward was appropriate, he didn't mind agreeing to this matter, because he knew that even if he tried his best to deny it, the third shopkeeper would definitely use his method to participate in it, but sometimes things would be more difficult to control.

"It's hard to say how much your inn loses in the war. "Qingxiao Emperor is not stupid, if he gives the bid code directly, it will be impossible to say less, and the imperial court will suffer if there is more.

"Your Majesty is generous, so very good!" the third shopkeeper raised a toast and said: "Whether the big shopkeeper agrees or not, I can make a guarantee that on the day the imperial court goes on the expedition, we will definitely send three thousand Guxuan monks to participate in the battle, and these three thousand disciples are under my control, so Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Let's say it lightly!

You must know that the reason why the inn can override any force in the rivers and lakes, except for the pinnacle of the great treasurer, is because of the eight thousand Guxuan disciples. The three shopkeepers sent out three thousand disciples when they spoke, and their intentions were really sinister!

Li Xunlian frowned and looked at the three shopkeepers, but the latter pretended not to know, and only talked with Emperor Qingxiao, and did not take the three thousand disciples to heart at all.

Of course, he didn't feel at ease, he knew that no matter what, the big shopkeeper would not allow these three thousand disciples to go on the expedition, because the three thousand disciples he was referring to were the mountain protection disciples who were commanded by him and stationed in Shenjian Peak, and they had mastered the method of the Shenjian Peak Mountain Protection Array, which could be described as the last pass of Shenjian Peak.

Although theoretically, no force has the ability and courage to attack Shenjian Peak, but there are no absolutes in the world, in this troubled world, if there is really such a day, three thousand disciples will go on an expedition to become kings, and what will Shenjian Peak rely on to protect the mountain gate. Who can guarantee that in this case, no one will be ready to move......

Since these 3,000 disciples cannot be dispatched, they can only be replaced by 5,000 disciples led by the chief treasurer and the second treasurer respectively, the 4,000 disciples under the big treasurer seat are walking in the rivers and lakes on weekdays for the heavenly path, and the 1,000 disciples under the command of the second treasurer are on standby at Shenjian Peak to deal with various emergencies.

In fact, the four sword slaves have visited the big shopkeeper several times, and Li Xunlian has also mentioned a few times, all of which persuade him to exchange the responsibilities of the third shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper, but the big shopkeeper did not do that. In the final analysis, I still want to give the third shopkeeper a chance to entrust him with the important protection of the mountain, just to retain his growing ambition.

But now it seems that this move has not only not worked, but has become the reliance and beginning of the three shopkeepers to trouble the Divine Sword Peak......

The third shopkeeper's surname is Wei, and the double name is Jiyuan, who was just a talent before entering the inn, but he was a real useless person.

He fell off the list not because of bad luck, but because his knowledge was not enough at all, but I have to say that this person's talent is really rare, although his body is not very strong, but almost with his talent alone, he has reached the realm of Shenhai, which is unprecedented.

However, no matter how talented he is, if he does not have the guidance of a great treasurer, how can he achieve today's achievements. To put it bluntly, his identity and status today are all given by the big shopkeeper.

The big shopkeeper changed his life, making him from an unpopular stinky poor sour to an innkeeper who can call the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't want to repay, but always has the heart to replace, which is really embarrassing.

Of course, this is also the embodiment of Wei Jiyuan's ambition. The big shopkeeper understands him, so he does not weaken his position because of this, if a man has no ambition in the world, what is the difference between him and a salted fish.

However, this is only for the internal dispute of the inn, and the fact that the third shopkeeper wants to monopolize power can be understood as he thinks that he has the ability to surpass the big shopkeeper, if this is the case, even if he succeeds in usurping the throne, it is understandable.

The position of the innkeeper has been made on the bright side since the inn was founded, and it is the ability to live in it. But Wei Jiyuan's current approach violates the rules of competing for the position of the big treasurer. He actually wanted to unite the imperial court to put pressure on his own mountain gate, which was essentially different from learning to ascend to the throne with real talent, and even to some extent, he had touched the brink of betrayal.

Of course, for now, all this is just speculation and analysis, what kind of things the three shopkeepers will do in the future, it will have to be verified slowly, and it is not in line with the rules of the inn to directly convict him.

Li Xunlian didn't say anything more, since the third shopkeeper wanted to toss, then let him toss, if he really had bad intentions, then one day, he would be punished as he deserved.

Later, Emperor Qingxiao discussed many details with the three shopkeepers, and finally as Li Xunlian expected, the three shopkeepers strongly recommended Li Xunlian as the representative of the inn for this expedition to become the king, and the royal court was the prince Zhu Tong who came forward.

The move of the three shopkeepers can be described as sinister, Li Xunlian went on the expedition, and the big shopkeeper would definitely send the best disciples of the headquarters. If it was placed in the past, it would be an exaggeration to say that it was not impossible to sweep half of the rivers and lakes, but now what we have to face is war, and it is an army of 200,000 that has been a king for a long time, which is another matter.

You must know that fighting is not the same as war, and fighting in the rivers and lakes seems to be tragic, but it is far from the same as large-scale war. Maybe in ordinary times, a Gu Xuan Realm Xuan Cultivator can overwhelm a hundred well-trained soldiers, but on the battlefield, it is estimated that even twenty people can't be defeated.

This is related to the environment experienced by both parties, and the people in the rivers and lakes, even if they have experienced countless bloody storms, how many lives and deaths can they see. On the contrary, as a soldier, it is often a scene of thousands of war corpses all over the field, and you may not feel anything when you say it, but if you really live in it one day, I am afraid that your heart will be shocked and difficult to hold on.

Just imagine, wolf smoke is billowing, blood is flowing like a river, every step under your feet is not a solid ground, but a stiff corpse, the eyes are all stumps and broken arms, and the ears are all miserable wails, but there is also a black army in the distance that is like a dark cloud falling to the ground, in this case, not to mention just ordinary Xuan Xiu, even if it is the power of the Shenhai, I am afraid that my heart will tremble a few times.

Having said that, there are a total of four thousand disciples in the headquarters of the Great Treasurer, Mo said that it is impossible for him to allocate all the four thousand to Li Xunlian, even if he gives them all, what can he do?

You must know that if this matter is settled, Li Xunlian will face a huge army of tens of thousands, and under the attack of the rain of arrows and giant arrows and crossbows against the city, only 3,000 people can withstand several attacks and defenses......

Of course, in Wei Jiyuan's opinion, the best result of this matter is naturally not only to exhaust the elite of the big shopkeeper's headquarters, but that Li Xunlian can also die on the battlefield. In this way, even if he can't be the shopkeeper of the inn, in the near future, his son Wei Shaoning will be able to control the power of the inn.

After all, Hu Wan is just a raw melon egg who has just entered the inn, and the second shopkeeper is very indifferent to the matter of rights, and even if they want to wade in the troubled waters, they can't understand it.

After the matter was agreed, the third shopkeeper and Li Xunlian left the imperial city. Conquering the king is not to exterminate a certain sect, you can't say that you can do it, and you can rush out without thorough preparation and detailed planning, that can only be the way to die.

Sixty or seventy miles south of the imperial city, Li Xunlian wanted to say goodbye to the three shopkeepers, according to rough estimates, it would take at least half a month to a month for the imperial court to raise soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and in this short period of time, Li Xunlian took this free time to go back to Li Yue Xiaozhu to see.

Of course, when he goes back, it's not just the so-called look, the person who can give him strategic advice is not the big shopkeeper who cultivates to the sky, let alone the irritable and reckless second shopkeeper.

The important people in his own house have different hearts, and everyone is irritable in this situation, because of this incident, Li Xunlian's impression of the three shopkeepers was not very good, so he was three points lower, and now he was not in the mood to be polite with him, so he wanted to part ways after saying a word directly.

"Wait. However, the third shopkeeper stopped him and said with a smile: "I won such a precious opportunity for you this time, don't you even say a word of thanks?"

It's not enough to calculate you, you have to add blockage to your heart to be enjoyable.

Looking at the villainous look of the third shopkeeper, Li Xunlian sneered: "Thank you so much, there are always some people in this world who want to kill themselves, and the kid is very willing to punish him." ”

Li Xunlian had something to say in his words, and the third shopkeeper could naturally hear it, but he didn't care, just smiled and said, "Then I will wish you a smooth journey, and on the day of your triumph, a feast will be held for you on the Divine Sword Peak." ”

This was said as if Divine Sword Peak was already in charge of him, Wei Jiyuan.

Without any intention of arguing with him, Li Xunlian turned to the southwest after giving up, and appeared in front of the ferry about half an hour later.

There is only one ferry port here, which was built by their Li family for convenience, Li Xunlian boarded a bamboo raft to cross the river, and returned to Li Yue Xiaozhu in the evening.

No one knew that he was back, and naturally no one greeted him. At this moment, Gu Panxi, Li Yanran and others were eating in the canteen, and they were really surprised to see Li Xunlian suddenly appear.

Gu Panxi was even a little excited, first looked at Li Xunlian stunned for a moment, and then the chopsticks that had just been delivered to his mouth ran towards him.

This is indeed "Ben", I encountered a lot of free seats along the way, and when I arrived in front of Li Xunlian, I opened my hands and wanted to hug the bear.

However, when he arrived, Gu Panxi suddenly realized that there were still 1,800 people behind him, so he wrapped his hands behind his head and made a gesture of stretching his waist.

"I'm back. Gu Panxi's delicate little face was flushed, obviously feeling extremely embarrassed.

Li Xunlian nodded, and teased in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Can you be so excited?" ”

"Who's excited?" Gu Panxi dodged with beautiful eyes and quibbled.

In fact, it's no wonder that she is so excited, since the last time they separated, Gu Panxi has always had an ominous premonition, always feeling that Li Xunlian will face some kind of great crisis, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it threatens his life, and in fact, it is true, whether it is Zhao Wu or Li Xun in the Absolute Xuan Prison, Li Xunlian has been in danger, if it is not for good luck, I am afraid that he will really not have a chance to appear in front of Gu Panxi again.

This can only be explained by the favor of the heavens, or the bad luck of Zhao Wu and Li Xun.

is such a situation, how can Gu Panxi not worry day and night, and now that she sees Li Xunlian standing in front of her intact, how can she not be excited.

In the time when Li Xunlian left, this idiot even imagined countless times that Li Xunlian was carried back in a coffin, and every time he thought about it, he burst into tears. However, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, the more I was afraid, the more I couldn't help but think about it, in the end, Zhen Ri was scared, and even some hoped that Li Xunlian would not come back, at least if she didn't come back, there would be no scene that would make her grief-stricken.

However, all this is just her crankiness, I have to say that Li Xunlian called her a fool, and he really didn't scold her......

Having said that, but when Li Xunlian touched the kind of eyes that Gu Panxi looked at him, his heart was about to melt. To a certain extent, Gu Panxi's feelings for herself are even deeper than Li Yanran.

Li Xunlian is smart and lazy, but he doesn't like to express this aspect of things, and he lost his head and brainless Gu Panxi for a while, and suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, so he asked people to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks and eat and drink with everyone.

This time he came back not to visit relatives, Li Xunlian told the story of what had happened recently while eating, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Su Jue, wanting to hear his opinion on the matter of conquest of King Cheng.

"This ......" Su looked solemn, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Li Xunlian understood Su and knew that what he wanted to say was not to become a king, but to be the third shopkeeper, otherwise he would never be so hesitant.

"What are you still talking about in front of me, don't say three shopkeepers, that is, if you want to slander the big shopkeeper for a few words, then it doesn't hurt to say it. Li Xun jokingly said for a long time, in fact, it is true, Su is similar to his personality, the two of them can have a good time, and they do say "bad things" about the big shopkeeper behind their backs.

Su shook his head slightly, obviously in his opinion, the matter was quite serious, and there was no room for the slightest joke.

After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke slowly, and said: "I think things are not just as simple as you think, it is indeed a fact to kill people with a knife, he wants to use the power of becoming a king to consume the big shopkeeper, and even kill you on the battlefield." However, this does not seem to be his ultimate goal......"

Hearing this, Li Xunlian was really surprised, Su is good at layout, and he can always anticipate the enemy first, when he said this, he must have his unique understanding, and he couldn't see the far-reaching.

"Then what do you think the deeper intentions of the three shopkeepers will be?"

Su Ke fell into a deep groan again when he heard this, he pinched the wine glass in his hand and turned it back and forth, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Destroy the inn and re-erect the banner!"
