Li Xuandu coughed lightly: "What Miss Gong said is that it is indeed my blessing to be able to meet Su Su." ”

On this kind of major issue of right and wrong, Li Xuandu certainly knows who he should stand on.

Hearing this, Qin Su's face suddenly showed a gentle and sweet color, but the palace official glanced at Li Xuandu, and there was a little resentment in his eyes, as if he had been betrayed by some kind.

If an ordinary man sees the palace official like this, most of them will be soft-hearted, they don't want to offend Qin Su, and they don't want to make the palace official sad, they will definitely be in a dilemma, and they want to please people on both sides, usually both sides can't please them, so Li Xuandu never made a mistake in this kind of thing, just as if he didn't see it, he continued: "When this is the case, after eating the wedding wine of Brother Xuanji and Ai Yun, I will go to Liaodong with Su Su." ”

The palace official put away the resentment that didn't know whether it was true or not, and said with a smile: "I want to congratulate the two of you." ”

Qin Su's face was slightly red, although her relationship with Li Xuandu was known because of Gu Yusheng's encouragement, but she was still inevitably shy and shy, and Li Xuandu's performance was also greatly unexpected by her, she thought that Li Xuandu would be like a young man in the script, the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, and the lotus root was broken, but she didn't expect Li Xuandu to be so resolute, showing his innocence.

Li Xuandu has understood a truth since he was a child, ambition is not greed, and in some things, if you blindly indulge your greed, it will be bad sooner or later. When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed.

The two women's verbal quarrel is just a small episode, both of them are people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, of course, they will not argue in the open, and they lose their identities in vain.

After the ceremony, several people entered the main hall, where the main hall was properly arranged, there was a rosewood coffee table above the north wall, a rosewood carved wreath chair was placed on both sides, and eight rosewood chairs with a coffee table were placed in each direction, and Shi Wuyue was a seat that occupied the door.

Song Fuchen stretched out his hand: "Mr. Li will accompany Yan Zhenren to the seat." ”

Li Xuandu waved his hand and said: "This trip to the White Emperor City, how to talk with Tang Zhou, the general of the Heavenly Prince, is still dominated by King Song, and King Song should sit on it." With that, he sat down directly on the chair on the top left.

Qin Su followed and sat down at the head of Li Xuandu.

Yan Feiqing had to sit on the chair on the left side of the center, and then waved his hand and said to Song Fuchen: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, King Song will sit here." ”

Song Fuchen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll also tell you something." As he spoke, he sat down on the chair on the right side of the center.

Su Yuncheng and the palace officials sat on the chairs opposite Li Xuandu and Qin Su.

Song Fuchen pondered his words for a while, and slowly spoke: "The current major event is to go to the White Emperor City, Shimen County is located at the junction of Xiaozhou and Jingzhou, after leaving the jurisdiction of Shimen County, he will return to the territory of Jingzhou, and then go up the Shuojiang River, and come to the junction of Shuzhou and Jingzhou, which is the White Emperor City." The Yin Yang Sect has blocked it several times, and if you want to come to this last part of the road, it will not be peaceful either. ”

Li Xuandu straightened his face and said: "At this time, the strength of the two sides is compared, although our side has less my aunt, but there is more Susu, and Mrs. Leng on the side of the Yin and Yang Sect should not continue to shoot because of her injury, only one Seven Killing King and Zhao Chunxiao, Zhang Zheng, Wei Zhen and other three are left."

The only thing that can't be determined now is whether the Yin Yang Sect will send another help.

Yan Feiqing nodded and looked at the palace official: "The palace girl is familiar with the details of the Yin Yang Sect, I don't know what the palace girl thinks?"

After thinking for a while, the palace official said: "The ten palace officials of the Yin and Yang Sect have their own functions, and now in order to stop us, the earth master has already called four Ming officials, and the Xijing side will inevitably be affected, if the Ming officials are sent on a large scale, I am afraid that they will be stretched, in my opinion, the Yin Yang Sect will send at most one more person, and it will not be Wang Tianxiao, Zhong Wu and other important people, the most likely person is the Jiuming official Shangguan Guan." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What is the origin of this Shangguanguan?"

The palace official said: "She is one of the disciples of the earth master, although she is not very old, she is very valued by the earth master, and she is also very loved by the family teacher, and she is expected to inherit the mantle of the earth master." ”

Li Xuandu looked at Yan Feiqing.

Yan Feiqing said: "In the previous attack, this person did not come forward, there are only two possibilities, one is that the Yin Yang Sect did not send reinforcements, and the other is that Shangguan Guan has arrived, but he is hiding in the shadows and has other plans. ”

Su Yuncheng said: "It is impossible for the Yin Yang Sect not to send reinforcements, during the battle of Xuannu Mountain, only four Ming officials came forward, and there was no trace of the Seven Killing Kings and the Hundred Barbarian Kings, but when they attacked and killed last time, not only did they have more Seven Killing Kings and Hundred Barbarian Kings, but also the people of Wan Dumen participated in it. ”

Li Xuandu said: "As far as I know, this matter was personally brought forward by the Ming official Wang Tianxiao to force Wan Dumen to deal with the matter, but Wang Tianxiao did not come to Xiaozhou in person. ”

Hearing Wang Tianxiao's name, the palace official's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "Wang Tianxiao is the head of the Ten Palaces and the right-hand man that the earth master relies on the most. ”

Li Xuandu gently pressed the handrail and said: "The situation is already very clear, the Yin and Yang Sect sent reinforcements, according to what the palace girl said, this reinforcement should be mainly Shangguanguan, but there is no trace of Shangguanguan, which means that this person has other plans, and even this halfway attack and killing is also a trick deliberately made by Shangguanguan, which can be the best, and if it can't be done, it can delay our steps." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the others became solemn.

Qin Su followed Li Xuandu's words and said: "According to the current situation, from Shimen County to White Emperor City, all the way is a waterway, whether it is the Qingyang Sect or the Governor of Jingchu, there is no water army, if you rule out the possibility of ambush and assassination by the masters of the rivers and lakes, there is not much to plan on this way, and the only place that Shangguan Guan can go to is the White Emperor City." ”

Li Xuandu fell into deep thought: "What is the situation in the White Emperor City today?"

The palace official said: "Originally, it was the main altar of the Qingyang Sect, since the Tang and Han brothers fled because of the discord between the Tang Zhou and Tang Han brothers, this place has become the general altar of the entire Qingyang Sect, because Tang Zhou did not want to be attached to the earth master, so there is not too much power of the Yin and Yang Sect in the White Emperor City." In other words, as long as we enter the White Emperor City, we are all under someone else's roof, just like the Yin-Yang Sect. ”

At this time, several people in the hall, although they are not the people in charge of their respective sects, are all given high hopes by their respective elders, and they are familiar with these battles in the rivers and lakes since they were young, they are all smart people, and when it comes to this, there is nothing unclear

White.

Li Xuandu asked both himself and everyone in the court: "Can Shangguan Guan offer a price that is enough to make Tang Zhou tempted?"

The palace official hesitated for a moment and said: "The Yin Yang Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, and the heritage is profound, and there may not be no treasures in the sect that can help Tang Zhou break through the bottleneck of the realm, the key is whether the earth master is willing to bear this price." ”

Li Xuandu was not surprised by this answer, and continued: "Suppose Shangguan Guan does have such a treasure in his hands, and uses it as a bargaining chip to move Tang Zhou to fall to the Yin and Yang Sect, at this time, we rashly enter the White Emperor City, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?

The hall fell into a long silence, no one knew how to answer, no one dared to speak rashly, this matter is not only related to the success of this plan, but also related to their own net worth, so they have to be cautious.

In the rivers and lakes, the more complex the conspiracy, the more likely it is to fail for various reasons, because there is too little room for error, and the requirements for the person who carries out the plan are too much, just like a delicate mechanism, as long as there is a problem in one part, it may cause the entire mechanism to collapse. So the more life and death come to the point, the less people use too complicated plans. Just like Shangguan Guan's strategy, even if Li Xuan guessed her intentions, there was still no good way to crack it.

After a long time, Yan Feiqing said slowly: "For today's plan, there are two roads, one is to retreat, and the other is to take risks." ”

Li Xuandu sighed: "The first way, let's say, let's go back to our respective homes, just if this incident has not happened, I think everyone has come all the way here, if you want to give up, you must be unwilling." Then it's the second way......"

Qin Su glanced at Li Xuandu, not hiding his worries, but he also did not speak out against it.

Li Xuandu accentuated his tone: "The second way, in short, is the word 'gambling', this word 'gambling' is not good, but I can't find a more appropriate word to replace it, that's the thing, 'snap', and put your life on the line." After winning the bet, Tang Zhou fell to us, and the situation was very good, but once we lost, not only did the situation become complicated, but even our people were worried about our lives. ”

Su Yuncheng rarely spoke, but when she opened her mouth, she pointed straight to the point: "Is it worth it?"

Is it worth it?

It's not impossible to take a risk, the key is whether it's worth it, and is the risk they take worth it compared to the results?

Li Xuan didn't speak, and Su Yuncheng turned her gaze to Yan Feiqing.

At this time, the six people can actually be divided into three factions, Li Xuandu and Qin Su are one faction, plus Shi Wuyue, who seems to be an outsider, palace officials and Song Fuchen are one faction, and Yan Feiqing and Su Yuncheng are one faction. Li Xuan can call the shots about some things, but he can't make the decisions about some things.

Yan Feiqing pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "If Tang Zhou falls to the Earth Master, and the Earth Master has the upper hand in Xijing, and finally wins the power of the entire Northwest Five Sects and even the Great Zhou, the consequences are not something we can bear, since the Master entrusts this matter to me, then I mean, it is worth it." ”

Hearing Yan Feiqing like this, Su Yuncheng stopped talking, obviously acquiescing to Yan Feiqing's decision.

Li Xuandu got up from the chair and said, "Since this is the case, then let's take a gamble and see what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den this White Emperor City is." ”
