When Li Xuandu returned to Zixian Mountain, the dust had settled here, in other words, the three women led by Bai Meiniang had completely mastered the situation of Tianle Sect, in addition to the death of Drunken Chunfeng, there was also Archdeacon Cui Lou Yin who died at the hands of Li Xuandu, and he had already sent a message to the Archdeacon Drunk Taiping outside, he would return to Tianle Sect to meet the new sect master in the near future, as for the chief steward Feng Louchun, on the way to escape from the "Tianle Taoyuan", he was intercepted by the ugly slave, and now he is detained in prison, waiting to be released.

After such an earth-shaking change in the situation, Bai Meiniang deservedly became the new sect master, and the ugly slave who returned to Tianle Sect took over as the deputy sect master, and this time Qin Louyue, who had "the power from the dragon", went further, and was promoted from one of the three archdeacons to the third chief steward in Tianle Sect, as for the vacant two archdeacon seats, as well as a few deacons who died, they had to be selected from other disciples, which was also one of the reasons why Bai Meiniang decided to close the mountain. The loss of the archdeacon was too heavy, and for some small sects, it was almost a catastrophe.

Under the guidance of a female disciple of the Tianle Sect who had already been instructed by Bai Mei Niang, Li Xuandu and Zhou Shuning did not go to the highest place of the "Qiong Tower", but went to the eighth floor where Bai Mei Niang was on weekdays. Not to mention what will happen in the future, just for the present, Bai Meiniang did not move into the highest gorgeous hall for the first time, but she did not mean to be rampant without success.

At this time, Bai Meiniang and the others were not here, and they were still dealing with various matters in the sect. After all, at this time, there are many visitors from all over the world who come to participate in the selection of Oiran in the "Heavenly Paradise", even if Bai Meiniang plans to close the mountain, it is not good to offend these powerful people with good status, whether to appease or appease, whether to compensate or to compensate, this is also an extremely troublesome matter.

Li Xuandu asked the little girl to sit on the embroidery pier outside and poured her a cup of tea.

The little girl held the teacup in both hands, and still didn't come back from the shock she saw along the way, after all, the feat of digging the belly of the mountain to build a city in it, not to mention the little girl, even the first time the old rivers and lakes came here, they also had to be shocked.

The little girl asked in a low voice, "Brother, what kind of place is this?" On the way here, there are many beautiful sisters. ”

Li Xuan didn't explain too much about the role these women played in this city that never sleeps, but said: "This mountain is the Purple Immortal Mountain I mentioned earlier, remember what I told you about the Ten Sects of the Evil Dao? ”

The little girl nodded and said: "I remember, my brother said that among the ten sects of the evil path, the Wudao Sect is the first, followed by the Yin Yang Sect and the Maiden Sect, the Soap Pavilion Sect, the Mending Heaven Sect, and the Dao Seed Sect again, and the Forgetful Sect and the Tianle Sect again, which are only stronger than the True Transmission Sect and the Hun Tian Sect." ”

Li Xuandu bent his fingers and gently tapped her smooth forehead, "We are now guests in someone else's house, don't talk nonsense about who is strong and who is weak." ”

The little girl playfully stuck out her tongue: "Got it." ”

About half an hour later, Bai Meiniang pushed the door in and smiled apologetically at Li Xuandu, "There are so many things, it's really a lack of skills, so Mr. Li has been waiting for a long time." ”

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Bai Meiniang smiled brightly: "The ugly slave and Hu Daxia will not come back until around Shen Shi, and I will set up a banquet for Mr. Li and this little friend alone, I don't know if Mr. Li will appreciate it?"

It is said that "looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng", Bai Mei Niang is dressed as an extremely old-fashioned woman on weekdays, but between this smile, it finally shows what the word "Bai Mei" is.

If this scene falls in the eyes of other men, I am afraid that I will have to swallow some saliva.

The little girl subconsciously glanced at Li Xuandu beside her, Li Xuandu just smiled gently, and did not have too much covetousness.

Li Xuandu smiled and said: "Li didn't say anything humble, just because Li helped you expel Lu Yanbing, who wanted to make a profit, and he was worthy of your meal, so if you have any delicious food and wine, just bring it." ”

Bai Meiniang got up with a smile and instructed her disciples to prepare a banquet, and then invited the two of them to a side hall dedicated to banquets.

It wasn't until a long time later that the little girl didn't know how much this feast weighed today.

The master of a sect personally accompanies him, I am afraid that only a great master of the Heavenly and Human Realm can have the treatment, although the Tianle Sect is not comparable to the Daoless Sect and the Maiden Sect, but the momentum is not comparable to that of the ordinary Jianghu sect. Zhou Shuning has not officially set foot in the rivers and lakes, and she has followed Li Xuandu to enjoy the top treatment on the rivers and lakes, maybe she doesn't feel it now, but when she walks the rivers and lakes alone in the future, she will understand how difficult it is.

Some things that seem to be taken for granted, in fact, someone has already paid more for you in advance, just like the treatment that the little girl enjoys today, she wants to go to this point alone without relying on Li Xuandu, and the hardships are far beyond imagination.

After taking a seat, Bai Meiniang sat in the main seat as the host, Li Xuandu sat in the position of the host and guest, and the little girl sat in his subordinate position. Because there were only three people, the huge round table seemed a little empty, but Bai Meiniang still filled a table of dishes according to the rules of twelve people.

Zhou Shuning can also be regarded as a lady who came out of the official eunuch's house, but today is already an eye-opener, or how to say "three generations of eunuchs are officials, and they know how to dress and eat." "Tianle Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, whether it is cups, dishes, chopsticks and other tableware, or those exquisite dishes, all of them are very particular, Bai Meiniang just picked two things after all, after all, it is famous, and it is enough to talk about most of the time of the pillar of incense.

In addition, Li Xuandu and Bai Meiniang talked a lot at the banquet, the content of the conversation was more detailed and specific than before, and the little girl on the side heard it in a fog, as if it was how it would be in the future, how the imperial capital city was, and how the twelve sects of the righteous path and the ten sects of the evil path were mixed, and there were also several names: "Heavenly Knife" Qin Qing, the old man of the Soap Pavilion Sect, Li Yuanying, the sect leader of the Qingwei Sect, Yan Feiqing, the head of the Zhengyi Sect, and the palace official of the Xuansheng Ji Palace of the Female Sect, Xuannu Zong Yuyi envoy Yu Qingning and so on, some of these names she has only heard, some she has seen, and some have never heard of or seen.

Most of the time, it was Li Xuan who was talking, and Bai Meiniang listened attentively and occasionally asked questions. In the end, Li Xuandu said: "Bai Meiniang, the original change in the imperial capital is by no means settled, but a new beginning, and there will be greater variables in the future." To put it more bluntly, the so-called change in the imperial capital is actually a battle between all parties for their own pursuit and redivision of gains and losses, and the result is that the four ministers are sent out, but even so, it can't make everyone satisfied, for example, Zhengyizong, they defeated Qingweizong, but they were still excluded from the center of the court by the queen mother, so they had to turn to support King Jin, but after all, King Jin was not right, and he couldn't give Zhengyizong what he wanted, so Zhengyizong had to find another way. ”

Bai Meiniang was taken aback, after all, Tianle Sect belonged to one of the five sects in Liaodong, and couldn't help asking: "Then according to Mr. Li's opinion, where will this variable be?"

Li Xuandu said: "Today's little emperor, when Wude was eleven, the little emperor was only ten years old, the next year was changed to Yuan Tianbao, the little emperor was eleven years old, and as of today's treasure, the little emperor is sixteen years old. Seeing that the day of the crown is not far away, then the matter of the little emperor's pro-government must be put on the agenda, which is a variable. ”

Bai Meiniang's face turned slightly pale, and she sincerely asked: "According to Mr. Li's opinion, how should my Tianle Sect deal with it?"

Li Xuandu looked at her deeply and said, "Stand on the side of orthodoxy, stand on the side of the general trend." ”

Bai Meiniang asked again: "What is orthodoxy? and what is the general trend?"

Li Xuandu replied: "Zhengyizong can't represent the general trend, but most of the time, they are indeed on the side of the general trend. Not long ago, I had a deep talk with Yan Xuanji, he said that Zhengyizong's support for the King of Jin is just riding a donkey to find a horse, so the implication should be to put the bet on the little emperor, since ancient times, with the greatest merit of support, Zhengyizong will even join forces in the four sects that failed in the first battle of the imperial capital, and the ten sects of the righteous path to expel the five sects of Liaodong who entered the imperial capital, so as to enter the imperial capital, forcing the queen mother to return to the emperor, and leave and right the court. There is no need for Tianle Sect to join forces with Zhengyizong, and I dare not say whether the Queen Mother's big ship will capsize, but my suggestion is that you can abandon the ship and go ashore early, and stand on the same shore as Zhengyizong in order to protect yourself. Of course, this is just my family's words, and how to do it depends on Bai Meiniang. ”

Bai Meiniang nodded thoughtfully.
