Time passed.

Xu An calmed down and seized the time to retreat and practice every day, and at the same time ordered people to pay attention to the news of the sect master.

It wasn't until a week later that Pei Xianhua returned to the sect, and the first thing he did after returning to the sect was to find Xu Anping and tell him a series of arrangements after he went out.

"There is a five-day journey from Guangxu City to Heluo City, and there are many cities to pass through on the way, and many forces may intersect."

"And among them, there are two forces that have powerhouses in the Pulp Washing Realm, namely the White Crane Sect and the Luo Family."

"Needless to say, the Luo family, as the most powerful thousand-year-old family, not only has many powerhouses in the Pulp Washing Realm, but also two Blood-Exchange Realm Grandmasters, and their heritage is extremely powerful."

"The strength of the White Crane Sect should not be underestimated, and there are a total of four powerhouses in the Pulp Washing Realm within the sect."

Hearing Bei Xianhua's words, Xu Anping had a bad premonition in his heart - the door master shouldn't have planted Duan Tingxuan's death to the Luo family, right?

I have just negotiated cooperation with the Luo family, and I am ready to join forces to deal with King Qingyang, if he is planted by the master of the door like this, even if the planting may not be successful, it will definitely make King Qingyang vigilant.

In that case, if the people of the Luo family are unwilling to take action head-on, it will be difficult to contain King Qingyang's subordinates through small means.

Pei Xianhua didn't notice the change in Xu Anping's expression, and continued:

"As a thousand-year-old family, the Luo family has a profound heritage, which is actually not much worse than the King of Qingyang, if Duan Tingxuan's death is planted on the Luo family and leads the two sides to a big war, the King of Qingyang should not have the heart to continue the investigation."

"But it is precisely because the Luo family is too strong that I am worried that the King of Qingyang will be jealous and dare not make a rash move, so I will spend more energy to investigate carefully, so that it will be easier to find the flaws in the clues I created."

"Therefore, in the end, I set the target of the White Crane Sect."

"They have the strength to kill Duan Tingxuan, as long as they create some clues that the two sides have had conflicts through various means, then bury Duan Tingxuan's body in a suitable location, and guide the people of the Qingyang King to find it step by step, they can smoothly push the suspicion onto the White Crane Sect."

"And all of this, I have already arranged it, and next, as long as we have never seen Duan Tingxuan and have not even heard of this name, this matter has nothing to do with us."

After listening to Pei Xianhua's narration, Xu Anping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he didn't make a fuss.

However, he was still a little uneasy about Pei Xianhua's arrangement, because although this approach sounded more secure, it was too passive after all, once King Qingyang found out that something was wrong and directly brought someone to the door, they would have no chance to temporarily adjust the plan at that time.

And if you follow the cooperation plan discussed by yourself and the Luo family, it is equivalent to turning passive into active, and when the Qingyang King is not prepared, he will directly join forces to kill the other party, and there will be no more trouble.

It's just that although this method has no consequences, Xu Anping has to admit that the danger in the process of operation is also very great, and he may be defeated in the hands of King Qingyang if he is not careful, or if the Luo family's containment operation fails, he may also be surrounded by a large number of elite subordinates of King Qingyang.

Seeing Xu Anping's different expression, Pei Xianhua asked suspiciously, "Elder Xu, do you think there is something wrong with my arrangement?" ”

After thinking about it, Xu Anping still said the general cooperation plan between himself and the Luo family.

"Originally, the Luo family and I have reached a preliminary intention, just wait for me to go over and interview them with the specific details, and at that time, they will mobilize their connections to contain the subordinates of the Qingyang King and create an opportunity for me to have a one-on-one battle with the Qingyang King."

"When I kill the King of Qingyang, there will definitely be turmoil, and the Luo family, who has been prepared for a long time, will immediately dispatch people to suppress the turmoil, occupy the Qingyang Palace, and take the initiative to ask for the title of the new King of Qingyang."

"I achieved my goal, and the Luo family got what they wanted, which is a win-win."

Pei Xianhua had a solemn face: "However, this is very dangerous, if you want to kill the Qingyang King by yourself, it is not so easy." ”

"Besides, no one dares to guarantee that the Luo family will bite you back afterwards and catch you as a tool to curry favor with the court, after all, you were charged with killing the King of Qingyang at that time."

"Even if the Luo family is sure to suppress the turmoil, they will not necessarily be named the new Qingyang King, but if they catch you, it will be different."

"Therefore, you have to face the risk of fighting to the death with the King of Qingyang, and you also have to face the risk of the Luo family turning back at any time, no matter what kind of risk, if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return."

Xu Anping couldn't help but fall silent.

It's not that he didn't think about the possibility of the Luo family's rebellion, but in the current situation, he can't afford to have so many scruples, as long as he can kill the Qingyang King, the crisis between him and Xuanyuemen will be lifted.

And the Luo family, even if it is really anti-water, as long as it does not affect Xuanyuemen, he has no worries, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

"Although I believe that the master of the door has a very thorough plan, there is always a mistake in Baimi, the Qingyang King's treatment of his son's death, the investigation must be extremely detailed, as long as there is any slightest loophole, it is possible to find flaws, and at that time, we will have no way to escape."

"So, no matter how dangerous the plan is this time, I have to give it a try, and only by taking the initiative can I never suffer in the future."

Xu Anping had already made up his mind at this time, and said with a resolute face.

……

The other side.

Qingyang Palace.

Due to the delay in the return of the little prince Duan Tingxuan, the Qingyang King Duan Xinghe finally noticed the abnormality.

But as Xu Anping thought, he didn't immediately think that his son had an accident, after all, there were two worshippers of the Cleansing Realm, unless they were the only few top forces in Qingyang Prefecture, ordinary people couldn't help them.

What's more, with him as a backer, even if his son really has a conflict with any of the top forces, he will not be directly killed by the other party.

Therefore, he subconsciously did not think of the possibility of his son encountering an accident at all.

As for Xu Anping, the target of Duan Tingxuan's trip, in his opinion, the other party may have barely reached the realm of washing the marrow, but his strength is definitely not as good as the offerings under him, not to mention that this time the two worshippers are escorted at the same time, even if the invitation is not successful, it is impossible to get into trouble with Xu Anping.

"This stinky boy who doesn't make it, has he been delayed by something again?"

Duan Xinghe frowned and arranged for his men to investigate Duan Tingxuan's whereabouts.

As the king of Qingyang Prefecture, the intelligence power in his hands is naturally not bad, but after all, the territory under his jurisdiction is too vast, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are twenty-eight cities, hundreds of small towns, and countless villages in his jurisdiction.

In the era of relying on manpower to collect, paper and pencil to record, and manpower to transmit and summarize information, it is impossible to be very thorough, otherwise Xu Anping would not have waited for Xu Anping to grow to the current level before sending someone to invite.

However, when the intelligence force in his hands is fully operational, it is not particularly difficult to find a specific person.
