At noon, Li Xuandu and his party set off, leaving Shimen County and heading for Jingzhou.

Everyone rode on horseback, which not only saved their foot strength, but also made it faster than walking on foot, and the same was true for Han Yue, but she carried a big box behind her, like a wardrobe, Shi Wuyue didn't want to see people, and she didn't want to ride a horse, so she hid inside, fortunately, the two women were light people, and the combined weight was only the weight of an ordinary adult man's armor, and a horse was enough to bear.

There were no twists and turns on the way, so the speed of the group was very fast, in the evening, they left the jurisdiction of Shimen County into the territory of Jingzhou, and then did not stop, overnight, anyway, the post road was wide, and there was no one at night, and they were not afraid of bumping into anyone.

After doing so for a day and a night, finally came to a ferry, everyone wanted to take a boat up the Shuojiang River, but found a problem, the river transport is not as good as the sea, when going downstream, the speed is extremely fast, there is a poem as evidence: the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains. But when going upstream, there are only two ways, one is to rely on the sail, the other is to rely on the slender man, no matter which one, the speed is extremely slow, so there is the practice of "buying a boat to the east", that is, several businessmen in Shuzhou partner to build a boat, load the goods out of Shu along the river, along the way along the river while doing business, to the middle and lower reaches of the river, the goods are almost sold, the ship is dismantled and sold timber, and they return to Shuzhou by land.

This is not to blame Li Xuandu and others, after all, they are only young people under the age of thirty, no matter how much they have seen and there are omissions, they have not thought of this. At this time, I had to temporarily change the plan, and instead enter Shu by land, although it is difficult to go to the blue sky on the Shu road, but the White Emperor City can only be regarded as the gateway to Shuzhou, and it is not too difficult.

Just when Li Xuandu and his party embarked on the trip, the people in the White Emperor City had already learned the news.

On the walls of the White Emperor City, there were three people walking leisurely.

One of the women was Shangguan Guan, the Ming official of the Yin and Yang Sect, who set up a plan to prevent Li Xuandu and others from being blocked in Shimen County, and she herself came to the White Emperor City first.

That tall man was none other than the current owner of White Emperor City, Tang Zhou, the Heavenly Gong General of the Qingyang Sect, who was ranked eighth on the Taixuan List, and after the deaths of Tang Qin and Tang Han, he was also the de facto leader of the Qingyang Sect.

The background of the three Tang brothers is not a secret. Shuzhou, surnamed Tang, will only remind people of one name, and that is the Tang family in Shuzhong. Tang Zhou does have a lot to do with the Tang family in Shuzhong, but Tang Zhou's establishment of the Qingyang Sect has nothing to do with the Tang family, and the Tang family does not have the ability to support a Qingyang Sect that affects half of the world.

The three brothers of the Tang family themselves can only be regarded as side branches in the Tang family, there is nothing new in the world, because of the distinction between the concubines and the concubines, Tang Zhou, as the eldest brother, left the Tang family to roam the rivers and lakes, and wanted to work hard to create their own foundation with their own strength, so that the Tang clan people who despise themselves are impressed, this kind of thinking is nothing more than not to bully the young and poor, but the rivers and lakes are not so easy to break through, even if Tang Zhou has a not weak realm of cultivation, but he is alone, there is no sect to rely on, at most to create a small sect of Lingxiu Villa, collect some villagers, operate industries, you can call for wind and rain in a county, and you can also have some fame in a place, which can be regarded as the head snake of the ground. But compared to the sects and families in a state, it is still too insignificant. Even so, such a mountain villa will take several years or even more than ten years of hard work, Tang Zhou is not satisfied with this, so he has achieved nothing for many years in the rivers and lakes.

Until he met a person, this person was Song Zheng, the later master of the Wudao Sect.

Someone once said that one life, two luck, three bones, four accumulation of yin gong and five reading. Some people also say that those who succeed have three points of ability, six points of luck, and one point of noble support.

Song Zheng is the nobleman of Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou is the first group of people to follow Song Zheng, and also had the ambition to compete in the world, after Song Zheng disappeared, Tang Zhou left Wudao Sect and set up his own door. After that, Xu Wugui began to intervene in the internal affairs of the Wudao Sect, supporting and co-opting the old Song government such as the Hundred Barbarian Kings and the Seven Killing Kings, and Tang Zhou was also the person Xu Wugui fancied.

With Xu Wugui's support, Tang Zhou did have real skills, coupled with just the right luck, so there was the prototype of the Qingyang Sect. Later, Tang Zhou successively pulled his second brother Tang Zhou and third brother Tang Han into it, and the Qingyang Sect gradually grew, and under Xu Wugui's intentional separation of powers and checks and balances, the pattern of the three generals and the three general altars was finally formed, with Tang Zhou as the leader in the center, and Tang Qin and Tang Han divided into left and right arms.

Later, Tang Qin died in Qizhou, Tang Zhou and Tang Han gradually disagreed because of their different positions, and finally the brothers broke up, and Tang Han left the White Emperor City and died in a foreign land.

Tang Zhou's appearance is very similar to that of his second brother Tang Qin, but his demeanor is more resolute, and his posture is calm and majestic.

Tang Zhou asked, "Shangguan Guan, you have been in White Emperor City for many days, and you don't know when you will leave?"

The woman in a dark dress smiled and said, "Is the general trying to drive me away?"

Tang Zhou said: "If you insist on not leaving, for the sake of the local master's face, I won't directly kill you, but I don't mind driving people out by myself." ”

Tang Zhou ranked eighth on the Taixuan list, and his words were not weightless casual intimidation.

Shangguan Guan was not afraid, and said: "The general is impatient to see Song Fuchen, so he thinks that I am an eyesore here." ”

Tang Zhou was noncommittal, glanced at the other man beside Shangguan Guan, and did not speak.

The Seven Killing Kings of the Wudao Sect.

In Tang Zhou's opinion, the masters of the rivers and lakes who can enter his eyes can be divided into four classes. The first class is the master on the old Xuan List, which can be called the Taishan Beidou in the rivers and lakes; the second class is the person who is on the same Taixuan List as him, plus some unknown hidden masters, who can be regarded as a generation of grandmasters; The third class is the person second only to the Taixuan List, Xiao Shiyu, Mrs. Leng, Li Rushi, Dongxuan Daoren, Taiwei Zhenren, Sanxuan Zhenren, Wanshou Zhenren and other masters of the sect, as well as his second brother Tang Qin, all belong to this category, which is slightly inferior to the Taixuan List, but he is a decisive big man in the rivers and lakes. One side is strong, the fourth class is inferior to the third class, most of them are the elders of the major sects, hall masters and the like, and they are also famous masters in the rivers and lakes, the top 30 on the black and white spectrum, Yan Feiqing and other top figures on the Shaoxuan list, can be classified into it.

As for the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal who was at the top of the Shaoxuan List, Tang Zhou couldn't make a rash conclusion, so he could only temporarily divide it into the third class. The Seven Killing Kings are also divided into the third category, they can reach the top of the black and white spectrum, on a par with the major sect masters, and slightly inferior to the people of the Taixuan List, they are not Tang Zhou's opponents, but they are a little tricky. There is such a figure to escort Shangguanguan, and it can already be seen how much the local master has an attitude towards Shangguanguan and how much attention he attaches to this matter.

Shangguan Guan continued: "No matter how great a person's ability is, whether he can succeed depends on his luck, this statement is by no means unbelievable, take Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei as an example, if he was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, even if he has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, he will not be able to become an emperor, this is the way of luck." In fact, people who can achieve great things, whether it is a major minister in the temple, or a strong man in the rivers and lakes, is always mixed, about five or five of them, half of the people do have their advantages, half of the people are lucky, because of various reasons to seize the general trend, many people even if they are lucky to succeed but do not know why they can succeed, let him do it again, most of them are not successful, if you mistakenly take the general trend as your own ability, it will not last long. I wonder if the general thinks so?"

Tang Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "You mean to say that the reason why I, Tang Zhou, can have today is because of the support of nobles, and you are going to blackmail Entu to repay you." ”

Shangguan Guan smiled and said: "Don't be too careful, I don't mean that, I still have the old saying, what Song Fuchen can give to the general, I can also give it to the general." Please look at the past situation, and separate a first-come, first-come, first-served, that's all. ”

Tang Zhou lowered his eyelids and said in a cold tone: "What about things? What I want is not empty words, but real things, where is it?"

Shangguan Guan said softly: "Please wait for three more days, it's just three days." ”

Tang Zhou glanced at Shangguan deeply: "Okay, then I'll give you another three days, after three days, if you can't take it out, no matter what you say, I will drive you out of White Emperor City." ”

After that, Tang Zhou didn't care how Shangguan Guan reacted, and directly turned around and walked down the city.
