Yuying knows Li Xuandu very well, and Li Xuandu also knows Yuying. However, five years have passed, and Yuying finds that the Li Xuandu she knows has been very different from before, while Yuying herself has not changed much. According to Li Xuandu, the biggest difference between Yuying and Zhang Suqing is that Yuying is a weak person who is good at proper, and thinks more about herself than for the entire clan. In this case, Yuying's position is not firm and is extremely easy to waver.

From this point of view, Yuying can be regarded as Lu Yanbing's fellow practitioner, which is one of the reasons why she was able to go through the three dynasties of Emperor Ming Yong, Emperor Wude, and Emperor Tianbao without falling, but was able to rank among the center.

Li Xuandu didn't expect to be able to say that Yuying would fall to him now, because there were too few chips and the situation was not irreparable, Li Xuandu just wanted to establish contact with Yuying and leave an opportunity. Yuying is not a person who goes all the way to the black, she will definitely leave a way back for herself, so Li Xuandu is sure that Yuying will not refuse her proposal.

After the two talked deeply for half an hour, Yuying left here, but before leaving, Yuying agreed to join the Qingping Society and become one of them, not only determined the way to communicate with Li Xuandu, but also set her own name "Shaking Tingqiu". The reason why I chose this brand name is just to respond to the situation from the literal meaning, the word "autumn" is time, "court" is the location, and the word "shake" can describe Yuying's mood at this time.

After Yuying left, Li Xuandu sent a message to Li Rushi Feijian, informing Li Rushi of the newly joined "Huanxi Sha" palace official and the eldest princess of "Shaking Tingqiu" Xuanzhen that in the Taiping Inn, they were all long-term guests, and in the Qingping Society, they were members of the secret alliance.

Now this alliance has begun to take shape, but the various allies are not interconnected, and everyone's connection lies with Li Xuandu alone. In other words, if Li Xuandu encounters an accident, the entire alliance will immediately separate and disintegrate.

After Yuying left, Li Xuandu didn't stay here too much, left the courtyard, and returned to the inn.

After returning to the inn, as expected, the palace official was already waiting here.

Li Xuandu said indifferently: "I'm going to disappoint the palace girl." ”

The palace official smiled: "I can't talk about disappointment, I just didn't expect that Brother Zifu and the eldest princess Xuanzhen are old friends." ”

Li Xuandu pointed out: "It seems that the palace girl doesn't know much about the old things in the imperial capital back then. ”

The palace official did not deny it, and said: "This time, I intend to use the hand of Brother Zifu to target the eldest princess Xuanzhen and her party, but I want to compensate Brother Zifu for a ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Xuandu had already spoken: "It's okay, I expected this day from the day I met the palace girl." ”

The palace official glanced at Li Xuandu deeply and said, "Farewell." After the palace official left, Li Xuandu put on the "Baihua Spiritual Mask" again and changed back to Liu Zongguo's appearance. After resting for a night in Ping'an County, he left this place the next day and officially entered the territory of Luzhou.

There was a tributary of a large river that passed through Fengyin Province and Huainan Province, and finally intersected with the Grand Canal in Huainan Province, so Li Xuandu paid to rent a boat and diverted to the waterway.

Because there were many women on the ship, Li Xuandu was not in the cabin, but stood in the bow of the ship. The four women in the cabin were enjoying the scenery along the river through the window, and it was the first time that Zuo Yan and Lan Lin had left the Xuannu Sect so far alone, pointing out the window. Zhou Zhu and Zhou Shuning listened to Zhou Shuning talk about what happened when she left Luzhou last year.

Li Xuandu stood at the bow of the boat, watching the river surging away, and at this time, walking along the river, even if he did not raise the sail or shake the oars, it was not inferior to riding a horse, and it was more comfortable than riding a horse. Li Xuandu doesn't care, even if he walks on foot, he can't talk about the word "tired", but the three girls of the Xuannu Sect are still young and their cultivation is slightly weak, so they are still inevitably tired from the journey, and walking on the waterway can give them a good rest.

At this moment, a big boat gradually caught up with Li Xuandu's boat, only to see that the ship was divided into two layers, carved beams and painted columns, lacquered jade as a column, doing its best to do extraordinarily luxurious things, at a glance it was a cruise ship of the rich and noble.

At the same time, there were bursts of sound of silk and bamboo on the ship. Li Xuandu turned his head to look, and he could vaguely see that there were many women on the second floor, all dressed in white, like clouds, holding various musical instruments in their hands.

At the same time that Li Xuandu saw the ship, the owner of the ship also saw Li Xuandu. The owner of the boat was a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy man, with a huge wrench in his hand that was extremely conspicuous and dazzling.

He saw that Li Xuandu was wearing Qingluanwei's brocade official robe, and knew that he was a person from Qingluanwei, so he had a little heart to make friends, and arched his hand and said: "Huainan Mansion Qian Yuxing is polite." ”

Li Xuandu was stunned, and secretly wondered in his heart: "The Qian family is still the same generation as Qian Yulong, Qian Yulou, and Qian Yurong, but I haven't heard of him, he should not be a member of the Qian family's big sect, but a side sect of the Qian family." ”

Li Xuandu also bowed his hand: "Under Liu Zongguo, the Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion is in command of the four products. ”

Qian Yuxing said: "It turned out to be Commander Liu, and I have admired him for a long time. Qian set up a table of wine and dishes on the boat, and there is the elegance of drinking and chanting, if Lord Liu is not bothered, he might as well come to the boat to drink together, how about it?"

Li Xuandu groaned slightly, and said, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

As he spoke, Li Xuandu jumped into the bow of Qian Yuxing's boat. Qian Yuxing only felt that as soon as there was a flower in front of him, the other party had already boarded the boat, and it seemed that the realm cultivation of this Lord Qingluanwei was not bad.

Qian Yuxing invited Li Xuandu to the table, and the beautiful maid poured wine and food for Li Xuandu, and the prince's house was nothing more than that. Li Xuan didn't see half of the cramped, but let Qian Yuxing take a look, many rough martial artists are not interested in taste, do not know etiquette, so they are looked down upon by literati and scholars, but this Commander Liu is different from ordinary martial artists, it seems that he has a good background, is he not the son of a noble in the court?

Thinking of these, Qian Yuxing intended to greet him, and the reason why Li Xuandu was willing to go to the banquet was also to learn about the current situation in Huainan Mansion from Qian Yuxing's mouth, and take the opportunity to knock on the side. After three rounds of drinking, the two talked about the Qian family from Qian Yuxing, the Qian family is in Jiangzhou, and the Taiping Sect is in Luzhou, the two states are just a river apart, which can be regarded as neighbors, and the relationship between the Taiping Sect and the Qian family is deep, and the relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between the Qin family in Liaodong and the Mending Heaven Sect, and they are also allies and partners in business.

The two also talked about the new head of the Qian family, Qian Jin'er, after this woman took the position of head of the family, stabilized the situation of the Qian family, and not long ago went to Qizhou in person to meet Qin Daofang, the governor of Qizhou, and negotiated a grain transaction with Qin Daofang. Qian Yuxing has also been in business for many years, and at first, he was a little contemptuous of this woman, but now he is convinced. In fact, after the business becomes bigger, many of the means of doing business have been secondary, the key is how to have a good relationship with the imperial court, and build a good relationship with the local government and local tyrants, such as the rich salt merchants in the world, the key is the salt introduction issued by the imperial court. In this regard, the head of the Qian family does not need to be proficient in any business, but must grasp the direction of the family and handle the various connections of the family, which is exactly what Qian Jiner is good at.

As for the affairs of the Taiping Sect, Qian Yuxing has also heard occasionally, but he is not from the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know much, but he has heard that there are many people from the rivers and lakes of unknown origin in Huainan Mansion recently, some of them are native to Luzhou, and many are from other state capitals, I don't know why.

Qian Yuxing was not a fool, he vaguely heard Li Xuandu's side knock, and couldn't help asking: "There are people outside the sky, when will the battle between the rivers and lakes end." Commander Liu cares so much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, is he also a person from the rivers and lakes?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said: "The Qingluan Wei Governor's Mansion is a knife for the imperial court to restrict the rivers and lakes, although it has not been the same in recent years, it is still necessary to care about one or two." ”

Qian Yuxing raised his glass and said, "I see, drink another glass." ”

Li Xuandu put down the wine glass in his hand, shook his head and said, "Thank you Boss Qian for your hospitality, we are here today, and we will meet again." ”

When the words fell, Li Xuandu disappeared out of thin air in front of Qian Yuxing.

Qian Yuxing was startled, the wine dissipated, and immediately sobered up, subconsciously got up and looked out of the cabin, but saw that the fog on the river did not know when, and after the fog dissipated, the boat had disappeared. Looking at the cabin again, the wine and food were still on the table, and there was still half a glass of residual wine, and he couldn't help muttering: "Did you meet a fairy among the gods?"
