Li Xuandu had followed Zhang Suqing for a long time, watching him handle government affairs, weighing the pros and cons, and roughly familiarizing himself with what was going on in the court. He naturally knew what it meant to kill Qin Cha today, which meant that it was not as simple as the death of a young eunuch of the Criminal Division, but to provoke the face of the entire court and even the emperor, and the court would inevitably arrest this person by unscrupulous means.

But that's all in the past.

The current imperial court is suffering from internal and external troubles.

Let's talk about internal worries first, since Zhang Suqing's death, the imperial court has one less person who can lead the overall situation, most of the governors in various places were promoted by Zhang Suqing, although these people may not be dead to Zhang Suqing, but after Zhang Suqing's death, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, for fear that the court will implicate them in a big case, so they have been connected in tandem to protect themselves.

The queen mother has not moved this mind, but there is a Jin king in the court, the Jin king represents the nobles of the court, not she can compete with her own strength, so she first enabled the court Qingliu as the head of Sun Songchan, and he served as the first assistant of the cabinet, the emperor at this time was young, the queen mother and the emperor were one, and these Qingliu royalists were naturally the queen mother. However, relying only on the power of Qingliu could not compete with the king of Jin, so the empress dowager adopted a strategy of appeasement for the governors of various places in exchange for the support of the governors of various places, and at the same time she also deliberately provoked contradictions between several governors to restrain each other.

However, as the emperor got older, the Qingliu faction began to ask the queen mother to return to the emperor, and at this time there was the theory of the imperial party and the queen party, and the two great eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch were inclined to the emperor and the queen mother respectively, which was the inner court. In the outer court, the king of Jin still served as the regent, and fought against the queen mother, and there were many moves to win over the governors of various places, and there was also strong support from many places such as Zhengyizong.

If the court is strong, it must be the court that affects the place, but now it is the local governor and the local tyrant who begin to affect the court, then it means that the court is weak, if it is not supported by the Empress Dowager Xie and the King of Jin, there is only a small emperor, then it is a chaotic situation in the world in an instant, and the governors around the country have become self-reliant, which is in response to that sentence, I don't know how many people are called kings, I don't know how many people are called emperors. Therefore, the Queen Mother and the King of Jin have to join hands to guard against the local governors while leaning against each other, both wooing and guarding, it can be said that you have me, I have you.

This is an internal worry, as well as an external trouble.

As early as the Wude period, Qinzhou and Liangzhou have fallen, although they were briefly recovered by Qin Xiang, but with Qin Xiang being trapped, Qinzhou and Liangzhou fell again, and even added a Shuzhou, so that the northwest was completely lost, Jingzhou and Zhongzhou became the first place, so the governor of Qinzhong and the governor of Jingchu became more and more important, which is why the imperial court did not dare to move several governors.

The three prefectures of eastern Liaodong: Youzhou, Liaozhou, and Fengzhou, although they have not been lost, the Golden Horde has been harassing every year, looting grain, property, strong men, women, burning, killing and looting, so that the army and the people have all suffered deeply. Yanzhou and Jinzhou are the imperial capital barrier, the same to strengthen the border defense, this alone, the annual expenditure of silver up to 10 million taels, at the same time the imperial court had to add two governors here, one is the governor of Liaozhou, Fengzhou and other military affairs of Liaodong, the other is the governor of Youzhou, Yanzhou Youyan Governor, so the arrangement, is to prevent the governor of Liaodong from taking the opportunity to sit on the big side and divide one side, so the three states of Liaodong close to the imperial capital of Youzhou are separated separately as a check and balance.

Even so, in the fourth year of Tianbao, the army of the Golden Horde once attacked the imperial capital, which shook the court.

This is an external threat.

Under such internal and external troubles, the authority of the imperial court is not as good as before, and what was not dared to be done before, now dare to do it, the most straightforward embodiment is that the major local governors are contrary to many of the will of the imperial court, and the local tyrants such as Zhengyizong and Qingweizong openly interfere in the government and participate in party disputes, and the imperial court is helpless against it, which can be seen.

Li Xuandu even had an intuition that although the matter of Qin Xiang this time involved the three governors, the three governors may not have the same heart as the imperial court, if it is the same heart, then what kind of envoy did the celebrant send, it is obvious that there are governors who disagree with the imperial court on this matter.

I just don't know which governor it is.

When the two assassins, a man and a woman, and the man who died tragically, Li Xuandu did not make a move, of course, because Cui Shuofeng shot too quickly, but also because he was weighing the pros and cons.

Considering these, it is very clear that Li Xuandu will inevitably cause some trouble when he kills this so-called envoy, but this trouble has not yet reached the point where it cannot be cleaned up.

However, this envoy is not so easy to kill, and his cultivation realm is around the realm of returning to the truth, compared with Hong Chengqiu, who once suppressed Li Xuandu in Beimang County, there may be some gaps, but it is not too big. In other words, under the premise that Li Xuan has never used the "human world", it will not be a simple matter to defeat this young prisoner of the Criminal Division.

In this battle, Li Xuandu did not want to use the "human world", because the erosion of the sword qi of the "anti-heavenly calamity" was too serious for his own physique, and he had to consume a lot of pills to make up for it every time.

So Li Xuandu only pulled out the "cold beauty", and at the same time it was inevitable that he had some regrets in his heart, although the "cold beauty" was a good knife, it was not a sword after all, and he could not achieve a perfect fit with himself.

At the moment when Li Xuandu was in a slight trance because of these interests, Cui Shuofeng made a move in an instant, and his body was like a ghost.

Only by the speed of the shot, Li Xuan is not as good as Cui Shuofeng, but the reason why Li Xuandu is a Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, and the reason why he is only slightly inferior to Geng Yuedu is because he has a supernatural intuition when fighting with people, this intuition is called "Jin Feng has not moved the cicada first", or it is a premonition that has been exercised again and again between life and death, in short, Li Xuandu has already predicted where Cui Shuofeng's shot is, and he will take the first step.

It's like two people racing on horseback, one is a good horse and is extremely fast, and the other is an inferior horse and the speed is average. Helplessly, a hundred miles away, the bad horse runs ninety miles first, no matter how fast the good horse is, it can't catch up.

Cui Shuofeng's heart-digging claw fell on Li Xuandu's blade, and a touch of blood suddenly bloomed, but since he is a genuine Returning to Truth Realm Grandmaster, his physique is naturally vigorous and strong, so this little injury is nothing, and he immediately changed his tricks and became the "big and small grappler" of the six doors, and at the same time integrated the strengths of Qingluanwei's "Big Four Elephant Hands". Sometimes open and close, the moves are calm, the shots are sharp, the power is great, sometimes the moves are delicate, the changes are varied, and the infinite changes are made between the square inches, and the wrists, elbows, fingers, knees, and tendons are constantly used to take the acupoints.

Although Li Xuandu has dabbled in the "big and small grapplers" and "big four elephant hands", he has a specialization in the art industry, and his fundamental cultivation still has to fall on the way of the sword, at this time, in the face of Cui Shuofeng's close combat, the long knife in his hand is difficult to fully use, so he simply shook his sleeves, drove the two swords of "Frog Jiao" and "Purple Phoenix" to sweep out, and attacked Cui Shuofeng with one left and one right.

Li Xuandu, like Zhou Shuning, is the best at distraction, at this time, under the multitasking of his heart, not only can he use the "Burning Plain Sword Technique" in his hand, but also the two flying swords can continue to interweave and stab out according to the trajectory of the "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Technique".

Liu Chen also got up from the bench at this time, pressed his hands on the heads of the two scimitars at his waist, and looked at Li Xuandu.

She has seen a lot of the world, but she has never seen such an amazing and brilliant person.

Ordinary swordsmen, it is already rare to be able to control a flying sword, and many people also need to supplement the sword skills in their hands, and it is a rare genius to control two at the same time. If the sword is out of the same vein, the sword and the flying sword are still in the same vein, and the sword is too much, which simply makes ordinary swordsmen want to have the mind of never practicing swords.

No wonder he clearly called himself "Purple Mansion Guest" back then, but he was named "Purple Mansion Sword Immortal".

On the way of the sword, it is indeed worthy of the word "sword immortal".

What Liu Chen didn't know was that Li Xuandu's master had said that Li Xuandu's kendo talent was three feet higher than his third senior brother.

How long is three feet? It is said that three feet of Qingfeng, and a long sword is no more than three feet. One sword is three feet higher than the other, which is twice as high.

This made Li Xuandu, who was already a kendo master, almost collapse in his mood.
