Hearing the word "Holy Monarch", the old man was shocked.

In the Northwest Great Week, there are two pillars of optimism. One is the suzerain of the Wudao Sect, and he is also the recognized "Holy Monarch" of the five sects in the northwest, Yutaiyun. The other is the sect master of the Yin Yang Sect, Xu Wugui, who is called the "Earth Qi Grandmaster" by the people in the rivers and lakes. If you talk about the time of fame, Xu Wugui is earlier than Taiyun, before the last time Yuxu fought the sword, only Xu Wugui stepped into the realm of immortality alone, and the most promising person to set foot in the realm of immortality at that time was the "magic knife" Song Zheng, but unfortunately Song Zheng faced the great sword immortal Li Daoxu, defeated and lost, and has not been seen since.

After the Song Dynasty, Qin Qing was pinned on by everyone. It's just that no one thought that after the disappearance of Song Zheng, the originally inconspicuous Shantaiyun came from behind, successfully entered the realm of immortality, and was elected as the "Holy Monarch".

If the two of them don't get along, it's a big bad thing.

The old man carefully considered his words and said, "It's okay." ”

"Shang Ke?" Xu Wugui smiled: "I deliberately didn't go to see you at the mountain gate of the Soap Pavilion Sect, nor did I see you in Xijing, but I saw you here, I just hope that you don't have any scruples, you might as well speak freely." ”

The old man knew that he couldn't hide today, so he could only say: "This person is forbearant and ambitious, which should not be underestimated. ”

"yes. Xu Wugui, who looked like a scholar, nodded, his eyes were deep, and said: "A mountain and wild scattered immortal in the immortal realm is nothing, and many ants can bite and kill elephants." But a 'Holy Monarch' in the Immortal Realm is different. The reason why Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu can control the general trend of the world is not only because they themselves have a high realm, but also because of the Zhengyi Sect and the Qingwei Sect behind them. ”

Xu Wugui looked at the old man and said, "Let's just say that the reason why the Soap Pavilion Sect back then was able to dominate the world with the power of one sect was not something that could be done by one or two people. ”

The old man nodded and said, "What the earth master said is extremely true. ”

Xu Wugui pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Recently, I got news from the Wudao Sect that this 'Holy Monarch' has returned to Xijing, and his realm has risen greatly. Today's 'Holy Monarch' doesn't seem to be very satisfied with my excessive interference in the internal affairs of the Wudao Sect, and he also disagrees with me on many matters in the Xijing Imperial Court. ”

The old man said in a deep voice: "If there was no earth master back then, how could the Holy Monarch sit firmly in the position of the sect master of the Daoless Sect? ”

Xu Wugui said softly: "The child can't help it when he grows up, which is also reasonable. ”

At this time, the old man already had some fixed opinions in his heart, but before Xu Wugui opened his mouth, he was not good and unwilling to take the initiative to open his mouth to find out about this matter.

Sure enough, Xu Wugui continued: "Taiyun wants to emulate Li Daoxu. Li Daoxu was able to compete with Zhang Jingxiu, and Taiyun also wanted to be on an equal footing with me. ”

The old man smiled: "After all, he is the 'Holy Monarch', the nominal co-master of the Ten Sects, and the same emperor. Don't forget, there has never been a living Taishi, only the dead can be given the position of Taishi, what about Zhang Suqing back then? ”

Xu Wugui said: "Zhang Suqing once said: 'If you gather in the fire, you have to cool the door.'" It can be seen that this position is not so easy to sit on. Because of this position, parents, brothers and sisters can turn against each other, not to mention the nominal master and apprentice, to use an inappropriate analogy, the child is older and can be the master of the house, of course, I don't want to have an unjustified uncle pointing fingers on the side. Now that the entire Ten Sects and the Great Zhou are all from the Taiyun, it seems that it is time for someone in my Xu to abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

The old man immediately said: "Earth Master, this matter must not be allowed. ”

"It's not that I want to quit. Xu Wugui's tone was a little colder: "It's the 'Holy Monarch' who wants to drive me away." ”

The Tibetan old man asked tentatively, "I don't know what the other sects mean?"

Whether it is the twelve sects of the righteous path or the ten sects of the evil path, they have never been monolithic, not to mention that the ten sects of the evil path have now been split into the five sects of Liaodong and the five sects of the northwest, just within the five sects of the northwest, there is no lack of intrigue.

Xu Wugui said: "The Dao Seed Sect is a reed on the wall, and wherever the wind blows, it will fall." Needless to say, the Lady Sect and the Yin Yang Sect are their own people. Even in the Daoless Sect, there is no shortage of people who can be used by me. ”

The old man was already a person on the big boat of Xu Wugui, and he understood that he should show his attitude at this time, so he lowered his voice: "The earth master is the emperor's teacher, and it is also the national teacher, without the earth master, there will be no Great Zhou." If the earth master can establish the 'holy monarch', he can naturally abolish the 'holy monarch', if the earth master is disobedient, the earth master can be replaced by an obedient person. ”

Xu Wugui said softly: "This language is still early, and it has not yet reached the point where swords and soldiers face each other. ”

The old man was slightly stunned.

Then I heard Xu Wugui continue: "But everything must be prepared for a rainy day, and it is time to start preparing." ”

The old man pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth, and said, "The first strike is stronger, in such matters, the earth master must not hesitate." ”

Xu Wugui was noncommittal, and said: "In the next period of time, you have to restrain your disciples, don't have any conflicts with people in the righteous path, everything is important to the overall situation." ”

"I'll take care of it. The old man said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." ”

Xu Wugui said softly: "Looking at Xijing in March, please ask the Tibetan sect master to leave for Xijing in three months." ”

The old man said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the earth master. ”

Xu Wugui turned his head to look in the direction of Xijing and sighed: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know say what I want." ”

On this day, Li Xuandu and Qin Su finally returned to the capital city of Langya Mansion.

At this time, all the rebellions in the city have been put down, the people in the Qingyang Sect have been slaughtered, the hired Jianghu scattered people have taken advantage of the chaos to escape, and those officials and generals who have secretly communicated with the Qingyang Sect, Chu Yunshen gave Qin Daofang two suggestions, one suggestion is to release them all, destroy all the evidence, and treat it as if this matter had not happened at all, so as to win people's hearts. Another suggestion is to convict all of them according to the law, and then re-promote a group of young and strong officials, after all, all the power in Qizhou is in the hands of Qin Daofang, and the court is just a formality.

In the end, Qin Daofang chose the second suggestion, all the officials involved in the case were convicted, their family property was confiscated, and all the military was allocated.

As for the Xiao family, it is not comparable to these officials, the tree is big and deep-rooted, and the roots and vines have already penetrated into every corner of Langya Mansion, and if you want to uproot the Xiao family, you are not willing, but you can't. In this case, cooperation is two benefits, and division is two injuries, since Xiao Yun agreed to defect, on behalf of the huge Xiao family to fully support Qin Daofang, Qin Daofang considered the overall situation, or decided to reconcile with Xiao Yun, and asked Xiao Yun to serve as the political envoy of Qizhou, in charge of money and food, that is, responsible for the money bag in Qizhou.

As for the appointment of political envoys, it is naturally not difficult for the court to mediate with people from the imperial party headed by Sun Songchan.

Because the rebellion has just been quelled, coupled with the arrest of many officials, the atmosphere in the city is still quite tense, and the guards at the city gate are much stricter.

Fortunately, it was Ma Wuji who was personally responsible for guarding the city at this time, he had seen Li Xuandu, and he also knew Qin Su, so he immediately ordered to let him go, if Qin Su did not refuse, he would personally escort the two to the governor's palace.

When Li Xuandu and Qin Su returned to the Governor's Mansion, it was not Qin Daofang or Chu Yunshen who greeted them at the door, but Lu Yanbing, who had changed into a Qingluan Wei Feiyu suit.

Lu Yanbing arched his hand, although he was talking to Li Xuandu, his eyes always fell on Qin Su's body, and he seemed to smile and said, "Little sister, congratulations to senior brother." ”
