Chapter 80: Preliminary Concept
The group left the embankment and returned to the city inn.
Zhao Lianggeng was alone in the inn, after all, he was old, and it was impossible to accompany the palace officials and others to blow the wind on the embankment for a day, so he returned to the inn in advance to rest, and secondly, he was alone, without an escort entourage, even if he wanted to escape, where could he escape, so the palace officials and others were not afraid of Zhao Lianggeng's tricks.
No one would have thought that a small Taoyuan county would gather such masters of the rivers and lakes, and even many of the great sects of the rivers and lakes would be inferior. Now that the identity has been exposed, the palace official no longer wants to pretend to be a little maid, and directly wraps up the entire inn, even the shopkeeper and the guy were kicked out by her, and only Li Xuandu and his party are left in the entire inn lobby.
It is said that the situation is stronger than people, and at this time, everyone here is already led by Li Xuandu unconsciously. Now that Ning Yi has decided to leave the Lady Sect, as for what to do after leaving the Lady Sect, Ning Yi has also faintly pointed out that he wants to work with Li Xuandu to start seeking peace in the world. In addition to Ning Yi, there are two more female masters, Li Feiyan doesn't need to say much, in the case of her being in charge of "Qingyun", even Ning Yi may not be her opponent; although Shi Wuyue has not recovered now, it will take a day or two to restore the realm, and after she recovers the realm, it is also the immeasurable realm of heaven and man, even if Shi Wuyue's combat power is not as good as Li Feiyan, but she is proficient in the two exercises of the Xuannu Sect and the Xuannu Sect, and naturally there are secret arts, which should not be underestimated.
The three great masters of the immeasurable realm of heaven and man, for various reasons, attached themselves to Li Xuandu's side, making Li Xuandu, a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, faintly have formed a force that cannot be underestimated, as Shi Wuyue said, even if Li Xuandu wants to stand on his own, it is not impossible.
There are five or six Eight Immortal Tables in the lobby of the inn, and in the middle is a long elm table, Shi Wuyue and Han Yue occupy a table, Li Feiyan and Ning Yi each occupy a table, and at this time, only Song Fuchen, Zhao Lianggeng, Gong Guan, and Li Xuandu are sitting on the long elm table.
Li Xuandu was in the main position, and the palace official sat next to him, with his hands on his cheeks, and looked at Li Xuandu's side face with a pair of wonderful eyes, but her eyes were weak, obviously not observing Li Xuandu, but in a daze.
In this case, the palace official had to re-examine Li Xuandu, and he had to admit that if he wanted to win over Li Xuandu at this time, it was no longer something that a palace official could do, but a big man in the position of the Great Heavenly Master and the Holy Monarch. But even so, Li Xuandu may not necessarily accept wooing, because the reason why Li Xuandu can make Ning Yi choose to follow him is because Li Xuandu's concept of salvation and survival moved Ning Yi, if Li Xuandu betrayed his own ideas, then Ning Yi will not follow Li Xuandu again, just like Li Xuandu was willing to follow Zhang Suqing to reform the law, not because Zhang Suqing's power was monstrous, but because Zhang Suqing's actions were willing to seek for the common people in the world infected Li Xuandu。
The palace official was also thinking, I don't know if the Great Sword Immortal who expelled Li Xuandu from the division will regret it? I don't regret it, the Earth Master has said more than once that the Great Sword Immortal is a scheming person, and for the Great Sword Immortal, a Qingwei Sect that is completely in his control, even if it is a little weaker, is far more powerful than a Qingwei Sect that is caught in internal strife. Just like the emperor in the dynasty, even if the national strength is prosperous, but if there are many feudal towns and it is difficult to control, it is inevitable that it will die because of the prosperity.
Li Xuan didn't care about the palace official's gaze, and also thought about his own thoughts.
If he wants to seek peace in the world, it will definitely be difficult for him to do much on his own, and there must be enough manpower, so he will be moved by Shi Wuyue's rhetoric.
However, Li Xuandu didn't want to start a sect, he was one of the core figures of the Qingwei Sect, and he knew that there were not a few masters who could call it a sect, just like if there was no army, it could be called a country.
For example, the one hundred and eight islands of the Qingwei Sect, the Taiping Mountain of the Taiping Sect, and the Tianshi Mountain of the Zhengyi Sect are the ancestral courtyard of the Mountain Gate, just like the capital of a country. The second is the disciples, in addition to the top combat power, there must also be disciples of all generations with orderly inheritance, the more disciples at the bottom, the more the number of people, survival of the fittest, is the cornerstone of the entire sect, otherwise the rivers and lakes are dangerous, once they encounter an accident, they will not be overwhelmed. The next thing is money, so many disciples, not to produce, whether it is to practice martial arts or refining qi, it will cost all kinds of resources, if it is a battle in the rivers and lakes, a pension after death, all kinds of resettlement, so that walking the rivers and lakes, people and people, which does not need money, where does the money come from? Qing Weizong monopolized the sea trade of the entire East China Sea, the Replenishing Heaven Sect and the Cihang Sect occupied the North Sea and the South China Sea respectively, the Taiping Sect has a business name that covers most of the world, and the other sects also have their own means, but they need to have people to handle these mundane affairs, in order to have reliable manpower, it is inevitable to use the family to have children like a big family, so that counting the parents, wives and children of these people, only as far as the Qingwei Sect is concerned, the entire sect can be famous on the roster, there are more than 100,000 people, this is not counting those who are involved with the Qing Weizong, such as the pirates in the East China Sea, many merchants in Qizhou, and local sects, gangs, and dart games, most of them have to rely on the snort of the Weizong, and if you count these again, there will be more than one million.
If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for the five sects in the northwest to rise up and sweep through several states. Because of this, the power of the lord of a sect is extremely powerful, not inferior to the important ministers of the temple, such as Mrs. Leng, the suzerain of the Lady Sect, and can even mobilize artillery warships to directly bombard Xuannu Mountain.
Now there are twenty-two sects, the huge rivers and lakes have been divided, if you still want to expand the sphere of influence, you must take food from other people's bowls, so there is a "four-six dispute", in this case, want to establish a sect, is tantamount to snatching food from the hands of others, eat a little more, others have to eat a little less, it is a matter of fundamental interests, you have to fight hard, at that time there is no mention of saving the world, you will only be trapped in various rivers and lakes and difficult to extricate yourself.
Therefore, after several deliberations, Li Xuandu completely rejected the idea of establishing a sect, and he preferred to establish a secret alliance, allowing people from various sects to join it in their personal capacity, and it did not have mandatory binding force, but they could form an alliance, help each other, and under the guidance and constraints of a common program, they were committed to saving the world, and finally achieving peace in the world.
In other words, Li Xuan doesn't plan to be a dragon, but to be a person who supports dragons. The reason why there is such an idea is because of the small alliance of women, from the alliance of Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue, Xiao Shiyu's generation, to the alliance of Qin Su, Yu Qingning, Lu Yanbing and others, this semi-public alliance has always existed and has indeed played a role.
However, this is still a preliminary idea, how to structure this secret alliance, how to contact, and who should be allowed to join it, have not yet been thought out, and even need to be continuously improved in practice. Li Xuandu deeply felt that he still lacked a candidate for the middle of the dispatch, who could take care of the overall situation, just like Situ Xuanluo, the master of the Tianji Hall of the Qing Wei Sect, he had a candidate, that is, his old subordinate, Li Rushi who was assigned to the Dry Leaf Island. There must also be a military advisor and strategist who can give advice, and at the same time, he can also take care of external liaison and cooperate vertically and horizontally, and he also has a candidate, that is, Zhang Luanshan, who claims to be a lonely minister.
In addition to these two candidates, Li Xuandu can now determine the manpower: Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue, Han Yue, Hu Liang, Qin Su, which can be trusted, and there are people to be observed, such as Yan Feiqing, Su Yun?l, Gong Guan, Lu Yanbing, and even Zhao Lianggeng, who is now a prisoner.
Because this is a loose alliance, it is not for someone's use, there is no subordination, and there is no strong binding force like the sect, so it can be done.
However, whether it is Zhang Luanshan, Yan Feiqing and others, it is still Li Xuandu's wishful thinking.
