The fleet sailed leisurely through the East China Sea, and the huge "Li" character on the flag on the ship allowed the group to flow unimpeded, and every time they encountered the Qingweizong patrol ship, the other party had to take the initiative to give way.

After entering the range of one hundred and eight islands, Zhang Haishi returned to his ship and said goodbye to Li Xuandu. Li Xuandu stopped the boat and watched as the boats of the Li family's children dispersed, while Zhang Haishi's boat sailed alone in the direction of Penglai Island.

Qin Su stayed by Li Xuandu's side and asked softly, "That day...... What did you talk about with the second senior brother? He seemed very unhappy. ”

Li Xuandu sighed and didn't answer this question directly, but asked, "Su Su, who do you think is the master of this world, is it the powerful people in our places, is it the emperor of the imperial capital, is it the immortal earth?"

Qin Su was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Li Xuan didn't continue, and after Zhang Haishi traveled away, he let people continue to sail.

When you arrive in the East China Sea, you will not be far from Chuzhou.

The area of Chuzhou is a small kind among the states in the world, and because it is in the gap between Qizhou, Luzhou, and Jiangzhou, in other words, it is between the Qingwei Sect, the Cihang Sect, and the Taiping Sect, so there is no sect to gain a foothold here, only some small sects and small sects that are not in the climate, which makes this place a buffer zone between the three major sects, with three religions and nine streams, and frequent exchanges.

Because Chuzhou is close to the sea, many seafarers stay here, and the news is also well-informed, and many major events will be transmitted to this place by sea.

The largest port in Liaozhou is located in Lion's Mouth, while the largest port in Chuzhou is located in Linhai County, which is also one of the most prosperous places, not losing many prefectures. Taiping Sect specially opened an inn and a money village in this county, Qing Weizong opened a blacksmith shop, a silk village, a pawnshop, a north and south business here, and Cihangzong opened a rouge shop, a porcelain shop, a study, and a business here.

In a small county, half of the businesses that can make money have been divided by the three. The reason why sects are sects, not sects, is that they are rooted in every corner, not only people, but also money. People protect money, money gives birth to people, the cycle goes on and on, and the party dominates.

In these shops, the most lively is the Taiping Inn, with the reopening of the Taiping Sect, the originally silent Taiping Inn has also ushered in many changes, they are no longer the eyes and ears of the Taiping Sect, but also shoulder the task of making money, Mrs. Lu set the indicators for the general shopkeeper of the states, and the chief shopkeepers issued layer by layer according to Mrs. Lu's indicators, and the big shopkeepers of each province were assigned to the head of each inn. These shopkeepers can no longer live a clean life, they have racked their brains to expand business, some people use their brains on wine, some people think of ideas on dishes, and the shopkeeper of Linhai County Taiping Inn is ingenious, and please tell the storyteller, and please sing a little song, so that the inn is particularly lively.

Taiping Inn is the preferred place of people in the rivers and lakes, not because of anything else, but because of the signboard, Linhai County is a place that extends in all directions, so the rivers and lakes are endless.

Today, the Taiping Inn hung two red lanterns in front of their own doors, celebrating the new sect master of the Taiping Sect and the new sect master of the Forgetful Sect to marry, and the guests who came and went had to say hello to the shopkeeper, saying "Congratulations to the sect master Li and the new joy of the Qin sect master", for these ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, they did not have the courage to call their sect master's name and surname directly under the nose of the Taiping Sect, and even the word "generation" on behalf of the sect master was also omitted intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of committing a taboo.

The shopkeeper returned the salute one by one with a smile. Almost all the shopkeepers of the Taiping Inn are Mrs. Lu's people, and Mrs. Lu is the person who acts as the sect master, so the shopkeeper knows very well who he is.

On the second floor of the inn, there are many characters from the rivers and lakes, some of them want to take a boat north to Liaodong, some want to take a boat south to the south of the Yangtze River, some get off the boat in Qizhou to go to the Zhili Emperor, and there are people from Chuzhou to Luzhou.

For the people of the rivers and lakes, the friendship on the rivers and lakes is very important, and many people in the rivers and lakes yearn for not to be invincible in the world, but to know people in the rivers and lakes, and there are no strange places in the world. Therefore, in the rivers and lakes, it is very common for strangers to meet each other but make friends with each other.

Because of the happy events in the inn, these Jianghu people also took the opportunity to talk about several major events in the rivers and lakes, first of all, the major events that happened in the Golden Horde, according to the reason, what happened far away in the Golden Horde, and it has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes, and it should not have spread so quickly, but in order to deal with the offensive of the Confucian people, the princes of Liaodong deliberately publicized this matter, greatly raising Li Xuandu's reputation, and really deserving of the title of "Purple Duke".

In the eyes of the princes of Liaodong, after the Golden Horde and Qin and Li's marriage, Li Xuandu is no doubt that he is his own person, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and Liaodong needs a leading figure second only to Zhao Zheng and Qin Qing, with great prestige, and then come forward to mediate against Confucianism. In this regard, Li Xuandu did not object, and the right acquiesced. In the eyes of the princes of Liaodong, their ideas are already very bold, and Li Xuandu may retreat and avoid them, but Li Xuandu's real thoughts are even bolder than them, and the princes of Liaodong do not see this, and they are happy for Li Xuandu's happy agreement. Only Zhang Haishi saw some clues, he didn't think that Liaodong Haoqiang would bring Li Xuandu to a situation of no return, but was worried that Li Xuan would take Liaodong Haoqiang to a road of no return, so Zhang Haishi would ask him what he was doing, thinking that Li Xuandu was too aggressive, and the two brothers and sisters even had a little unhappiness about it.

Ordinary people don't know all the calculations involved, they just have a little more to talk about. Some people believe the news released by Liaodong, and some people don't believe it, but as more and more caravans come back from the Golden Horde, the rumors that were originally just chasing after the wind and shadows have become more and more credible.

The envoy of the Central Plains assassinated the Golden Horde in the name of peace, and then united with Ili Khan, plotted against the Golden Horde, and plotted for the position of the Great Khan. This is what Batu Khan said.

Lost Gan Khan and the national teacher plotted to kill the Golden Horde Khan, and blamed the Central Plains envoy, but the Central Plains envoy saw through that Batu Khan was the person behind the scenes, afraid that the matter would be exposed, and killed the national teacher. That's what Irihan said.

Both of these statements accuse the other party of being the murderer of Lao Khan, with the intention of occupying the name of righteousness, and at the same time pushing the cause of the death of the national teacher on the other party's head, with the intention of winning over the shamanic forces.

No matter which statement it is, the envoy of the Central Plains is the key person, and judging from the rumors on the rivers and lakes, a statement is becoming more and more fierce on the rivers and lakes, it is the envoy of the Central Plains who assassinated the old Khan and avenged the revenge of Xijing that year.

This makes Li Xuandu's prestige on the rivers and lakes a thousand feet, not the kind of fame obtained by martial arts, but faintly to the extent of Mount Tai Beidou, no matter what kind of identity of the person, after mentioning Li Xuandu, he must be solemn and respectful to call Mr. Qingping, from the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect to take a word each, Li Xuandu first entered the Qing Weizong to take the first word of Qingwei, and then entered the Taiping Sect to take the last word of Taiping, implying that Li Xuandu was born in the Qingwei Sect but became the master of the Taiping Sect, and has the strengths of both families. This new title has spread in the rivers and lakes, and later, the word "Qingping" is no longer imposed on Li Xuandu by others, but Li Xuandu's self-name.

Li Xuandu, the word Zifu, the number Mr. Qingping. Someone must have contributed to this matter, and Li Xuandu even suspected that the person behind the scenes was in his own Qingping Society, otherwise it would be impossible to grasp the word "Qingping" so skillfully, and he almost shouted out the slogan of "a clear world and peace will be restored". However, the people at the bottom of the rivers and lakes don't think so much, they only think that "Mr. Qingping" is much more stable than "Zifu Sword Immortal", the latter is too sharp, like a young man, the former is much more restrained, like a calm middle-aged man, which is more in line with the golden mean.

However, from beginning to end, there are no traces of the Earth Master and the Holy Monarch in the rumors about the Golden Horde, which also illustrates the fact that Li Xuan needs all kinds of rumors and feats to increase his fame, but the Earth Master and the Holy Monarch no longer use these means, no matter whether they are praised or slandered, the power in their hands will not change in the slightest. Until the dust settles, they are not even willing to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, lest other variables be born.

When these people were talking and pointing out the country, a group of five people came from outside the door, two men, two women, and one and a half teenagers. One of the young men and women seems to be a newlywed, and the other young man seems to be an entourage, but his appearance is not quite the same as that of the Central Plains, and there is an older woman, I don't know if it is the elder of the young couple, as for the last half-grown boy, his complexion is dark, and his walking and breathing can be seen, but he is a good master, at least there is a Xuanyuan realm.
