The Great Qi Dynasty, the land of four capitals and 19 states, this is the word "world" in countless people.

The world is too big, the imperial capital in the north of the Yangtze River is already like snow and wind, but the two Xiangs in the south of the Yangtze River are still sunny in the sky.

Two people walked out of the south gate of Xiangyang City and said goodbye to the people who saw them off.

One is Xu Beiyou, and the other is Qi Xianyun.

Qi Xianyun's identity is special, if what Cangyun said is true, if it really involves the head of the Dao Sect Qiu Ye and the head of the sect Murong Xuan, then the Dao Sect will definitely not give up, even if there are heavy troops stationed in Xiangyang City, it may not be really safe, so Xu Beiyou plans to personally take Qi Xianyun back to Jiangdu, and Li Shentong, Li Yuping, Cang Yun, and Ling Yun will stay in Xiangyang City temporarily.

Before leaving, Xu Beiyou not only asked Yu Kuang to take care of the four of them, but also specially explained to Zhang Yuping, asking her to urge Li Shentong to practice swordsmanship, and watching or participating in battlefield fighting is also a strange way to find another way on the way of the sword, as long as Li Shentong is well protected, and then don't let him cause any trouble.

After explaining this, Xu Beiyou left Xiangyang with Qi Xianyun and embarked on the return journey back to Jiangdu.

After the two walked a long way along the post road, Qi Xianyun suddenly asked, "You just took me back to Jiangdu, aren't you afraid that Madame will send someone to intercept me halfway?"

Xu Beiyou said indifferently: "Let's not talk about whether you can stop me, do you think the people in the Daomen really hope that you can return to the Daomen?" Even if under the strong pressure of Mrs. Murong, the people in the Daomen have to come to save you, you may not be safe and sound, Tianyun and the others will never let go of this excellent opportunity, under the secret intervention of Tianyun and others, those who save people can become murderers at any time, and in the end, maybe it will be the end of Fairy Qi dying in the chaos and I, Xu Beiyou, carrying the black cauldron, for Tianyun and others, it can be called killing two birds with one stone. ”

Qi Xianyun's expression was complicated.

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "If that's the case, I won't care about anything, no matter how you Qi Xianyun is, the Daomen has long wanted to get rid of me, don't worry if you have more debts, don't itch if you have more lice, let him go." But you, a dignified Taoist fairy, a world-famous immortal, even if you can't become the head of the Taoist sect, you will be expected to soar in the future, and the future is immeasurable. ”

Qi Xianyun's face sank like water, and he asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Xu Beiyou said indifferently: "Obediently follow me back to Jiangdu, I will protect you." ”

Qi Xianyun's eyes were deep, and he didn't speak, but he was already acquiescing.

The two continued to hurry back to Jiangdu, silent all the way, until the border of Huzhou, Qi Xianyun spoke again: "Now the Great Qi Imperial Court is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the wind and rain are shaking, if you talk about the strength of troops, Lin Han, the grassland Khan King of the northwest grassland, is the most, with more than 200,000 cavalry, and the combat power is amazing. If you talk about the threat, the army of the Northeast Muwang is under the Shanhai City, as long as Zhao Wouji who is stationed in the Shanhai City is defeated, he can wave his army into the pass, and go straight to Zhili Prefecture, or even the army under the imperial capital, or the army of Yanzhou, echoing with the grassland army in the northwest, making Zhang Wuji, who is stationed in the northwest, suffer from the enemy on his back, and it is difficult to echo from the beginning to the end. Why didn't you go to those two battlefields and came to Jiangnan first, is it just because the Sword Sect is in Jiangdu?"

Xu Beiyou didn't refuse people thousands of miles away, and replied: "If I say that I don't care about the Sword Sect at all, it would be a lie, but if I say that I came completely for the Sword Sect, it is not all right. Just now you said that the grassland has the strongest troops, which is true, but the Northwest Left Army is also the most prosperous place in Daqi, with the largest number of elite cavalry among the five forbidden armies of the Great Qi court, and it can completely fight head-on with the grassland cavalry, and there is also the capital of the world's first Xiongguan, and it can also be defended according to the city. ”

"As for the Northeast Shepherd King you just mentioned, the so-called threat is the biggest to make a big discount, and the Northeast Right Army is quite alive by separating the three states in the Northeast, but if you want to enter the customs and chase the deer, you will inevitably be unable to do it. Let's not talk about the natural danger of Shanhai City, that is, the army of the Son of Heaven stationed in Shanhai City, is the head of the five forbidden armies, the most sophisticated armor, in addition to the sailors and cavalry, especially firearms are the most of all armies, and it is also defending the city, the art of war has clouds, ten and surround it, five and attack it, and fight it twice, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, why did Mu Tangzhi break through Shanhai City?

Qi Xianyun suddenly said: "Since the two sides are not in the climate, Jiangnan is the top priority, especially after the Jiangnan Navy Division suffered a fiasco in Dongting Lake, the situation in Jiangnan is becoming more and more difficult, if the King of Wei succeeds in taking Jiangnan, especially Jiangzhou, where the world is prosperous, and Huzhou, the southeast gateway, change hands, the entire southeast half of the wall will have been lost." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and said: "Great Qi can't be without the southeast for a day, and Mrs. Murong also took a fancy to this, so she united with many families in Jiangnan to make trouble, so that Jiangling Mansion changed hands in an instant, and even Jiangdu City almost suffered an accident." Another point is that the King of Wei is unpredictable, and the city is deep, which makes people have to guard against it. ”

Qi Xianyun muttered softly, "I see. ”

Xu Beiyou asked, "Madam Murong has never told you about these things?"

Qi Xianyun hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "Madam only asked me to focus on cultivation matters, and I don't have to pay attention to these worldly things. ”

Xu Beiyou sighed: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. ”

Qi Xianyun was speechless.

She has enjoyed the envy of everyone in the Taoist sect since she was a child, but she has never been a pampered and proud person, everything is arranged by the elders, and she has never been disobedient, Mrs. Murong let her learn to manage the affairs of the sect, she learned with her heart, Mrs. Murong did not let her meddle in the worldly disputes, and she did not touch half a point.

After this conversation, the two fell into a wordless silence again.

......

Gangneung House, Lee House Hall.

Today's atmosphere is particularly strange and solemn, in the top position of the lobby is placed a large rosewood chair with fine leaves, on which sits a woman, but no longer wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a plain white robe as thin as a cicada's wings, covered with a snow-white gauze embroidered with ink-colored plum blossoms and the same embroidered shoes, tied around the waist of a plain white silk, untied, let it fall down.

The white-clothed ink plum is particularly distinct.

Today, the woman's face is still lightly powdered for the first time, and her face is as white as snow. The eyebrows are in the sideburns, the eyes are deep, and it is even more not angry and powerful.

The woman was none other than Murong Xuan, the head of the Daoist Sect.

On both sides below Murong Xuan, a real person dressed in a black Taoist robe stood silently.

Murong Xuan sat on the chair and looked up at the top of his head, I have to say that the exquisite mind of the family is that even the story of the twenty-four filial pieties is painted on the beams of this house.

Chenye, who was closest to Murong Xuan, opened his mouth and said: "Cangyun is a person from the Sword Sect, this is something we already know, this time we deliberately let Cangyun meet with the people in the Sword Sect, I thought it was to catch a big fish, who would have thought that it was Xu Beiyou who came in person, and miscalculated......"

There was silence.

Murong Xuan still looked up at the picture on the beam above her head.

Dust Leaf was silent for a moment and continued: "The fish is too big, and it is a dereliction of duty for our Demon Suppression Hall to drag the line off and drag the fishermen into the water. ”

Murong Xuan finally lowered his head slowly, pressed the handrail with his white palm, and looked at the dust leaf, "Three disciples of the Sect of Masters, one defected, and two were captured, if it spreads, how can we have the face of the Daomen?"

Murong Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear in the silent room.

I saw that the black-clothed palm taught Chenye and had to bow his head and said, "Madame's instructions are yes." ”

Murong Xuan held his hand, stood up, and said word by word: "What I want is not to admit mistakes, I want people." ”

Chenye raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Madame, the Demon Suppression Hall will definitely bring people back to Madame safely." ”

Murong Xuan said expressionlessly: "This is the best." ”
