In a teahouse, Gu Qiubai and Lu Lingshuang sat opposite each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This teahouse is quite famous in the local area, the environment is quiet, and some small households with spare money will come here to listen to opera in their spare time.

The teahouse is divided into three floors, the first floor is the most spacious, for some commoners and people in the rivers and lakes.

On the second floor, there are private rooms for some slightly more powerful dignitaries and merchants.

The third layer is reserved for some immortal cultivators, and of course, immortal cultivators in the Qi refining period are no longer among them.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that the class division of the entire Haoran country.

Gu Qiubai and the others sat in the hall on the third floor, quietly listening to the opera sung by artists not far away.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes......"

Some melancholy, some sad, and more of it is the pride of the hero in the twilight.

"This song has been popular in the capital in recent years, and it is a rare and famous song......"

"It is said that this song has also won the praise of His Majesty and is listed as one of the national songs......"

"That's one of the rare honors, and it's said that the composer is a master of the Hanlin Academy?"

"Lord Gongyi has already clarified, this song is composed by a talented man surnamed Gu, this person is really a romantic person, he won the first place in the Qingfeng Poetry Club of Nanyang County, and then he refused the invitation of Brother Gongyi of Wei County, and left in style......"

"It's just a small poetry club in a county...... I'm afraid there are many untruths, and Taoist friends don't have to take it seriously......"

"Daoyou's words are wrong, but a few lines of poetry came out at the beginning, and I chanted a few words to Daoyou......"

In the teahouse, there was a burst of discussion from the cultivators.

Gu Qiubai listened to the opera, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the song "Linjiang Immortal" that he used in the Qingfeng Poetry Club was already popular in Shengjing.

"What's wrong?" Lu Lingshuang was a little puzzled.

Gu Qiubai shook his head and said, "I think we will be able to watch a good show soon." ”

"Fun?" Lu Lingshuang looked at Gu Qiubai and said, "You mean the meeting between the Ten Thousand Swords Villa and the Heavenly Confucian Mansion?" ”

Lu Lingshuang never asked Gu Qiubai how she could rescue her father, firstly, she subconsciously believed in Gu Qiubai, and secondly, Gu Qiubai was her only hope, if she asked, she was worried that this hope would also be wiped out in an instant.

Therefore, she didn't know anything about Gu Qiubai's plan.

Gu Qiubai nodded, and said eloquently: "The Tianru Mansion is powerful in this area, and the masters are like clouds, it is impossible for us to rescue your father if we break in rashly, so we have to take advantage of the situation." ”

"This is the Ten Thousand Swords Villa?"

"That's right, Wanjian Villa belongs to the Great Prince, and it is like fire and water with the Third Prince, and the power is no worse than the Tianru Mansion, if they intervene, we will be able to fish in troubled waters." Gu Qiubai said.

The communication between the two basically uses the method of sound transmission, so as not to be snooped on by people with intentions.

Long before coming to Shengjing City, Gu Qiubai had understood all the forces under the command of the prince, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, and not being defeated in a hundred battles.

Among all the princes now, the eldest prince often occupies a high position, and his name is justified, and his mother is the queen of the dynasty, and she is also the daughter of Zhong Wenshu, the prime minister of Haoran Kingdom.

Although Zhong Wenshu is subordinate to the civil official, he is also a veteran of the two dynasties, and his prestige in the government and the opposition is extremely high.

There is such a relationship, the eldest prince is naturally the first candidate for the throne.

But this person is a little perverse, pampered and arrogant, although the power is monstrous, but it also makes many ministers stay away.

Compared with the eldest prince, the third prince is much more mature and stable, and he has been fighting abroad all the year round, and his military achievements are impressive, which is appreciated by many army bosses.

Moreover, the third prince is a rare genius of cultivation, and even Meng Yunxing once praised it to his face, saying that the third prince is the prince who is most like him.

The three princes once studied under various powerful sects, and they also have a certain reputation and prestige among the cultivators.

Among all the princes, the eldest prince and the third prince are the most powerful and the most powerful candidates for the throne.

Of course, both of them are not willing to develop only in their own fields, and they will interfere with each other's forces.

That's why there is Tianru Mansion and Wanjian Villa.

Tianru Mansion is a nail that the three princes have driven into the Confucianism and Taoism, and Wanjian Villa is a chess piece initially planted by the great prince in the rivers and lakes.

As the name suggests, Wanjian Villa is composed of a group of sword cultivators, and the main one is swordsmanship.

Although there are only seven Jindan Stage cultivators in the entire Ten Thousand Swords Villa, the sword cultivator is naturally more lethal, so if it is really one-on-one, the Heavenly Confucian Mansion may not be an opponent.

However, in terms of overall strength, Wanjian Villa is still inferior to Tianru Mansion.

The forces on both sides have been fighting openly and secretly all year round, competing for resources and talents outside Shengjing.

And every five years, the two forces have to hold a meeting to discuss the Tao, in fact, to put it bluntly, let the disciples under the sect learn from each other.

And then you can justifiably occupy and divide some resources, after all, although the two belong to different forces, the apparent harmony is still needed.

The matter of seizing resources is too sensitive, accompanied by death and blood, which Meng Yunxing never wants to see.

Although he allowed the princes under him to compete with each other, the bottom line should still be there.

That's why there is this five-year meeting of the Tao, through which the ownership of resources is determined.

First, it avoids bloody battles, and secondly, it is possible to roughly guess the strength of the other party through the meeting of the Dao.

Lu Lingshuang looked at Gu Qiubai and shook his head: "It's just that although the Ten Thousand Swords Villa and the Tianru Mansion are fighting openly and secretly, they still don't interfere with each other on the surface, and there has never been a large-scale battle, and it is really too difficult to get the Ten Thousand Swords Villa to make a move." ”

Gu Qiubai showed an inexplicable smile: "Of course, it is naturally impossible for the forces on both sides to develop each other steadily, but...... If they muddy the waters, why don't they take action? ”

"What do you want to do?" Lu Lingshuang showed a listening look.

In terms of design, she is not as good as Gu Qiubai, so she will not disturb Gu Qiubai's thoughts.

Gu Qiubai's knuckles tapped on the table and said, "Now that the prologue has begun, there is still an introduction left to intensify the contradiction between the two, so just wait for the meeting of the Tao to open." ”

Gu Qiubai thought for a moment and said, "By the way, you shouldn't have talked to the people here about our coming to Shengjing, right?" ”

Lu Lingshuang can accurately know the news of Shengjing City, and here, there must be someone who will answer her and inform her of the news at any time.

"Nope." Lu Lingshuang shook her head.

"Then don't make a noise for now, and I'll talk about it when I set up the stage." Gu Qiubai didn't want anyone to know about his plans.

"Well, it's just ......" Lu Lingshuang hesitated.

"Just what?"

"Huang Bo said that my sister may also come to Shengjing City, and I am worried that she will take action."

Gu Qiubai frowned slightly, and said: "Your sister should also know the power of the Tianru Mansion, and she will not rashly look for death, but it is naturally best if you can contact your sister as soon as possible." ”

Gu Qiubai wasn't worried that her sister would ruin her plan, after all, her plan was mainly in Wanjian Villa.

Now the priority is to find a way to muddy the waters...... Gu Qiubai already had a target candidate in mind.
