Taiping Inn

While the two of them were chatting, they came to Su Lianrong's residence. It is still the second-story building standing by the lake. The second-story is a bedroom, and the first floor can be used to entertain guests. There is a window on the side of the first floor facing the lake. On rainy days, you can see the lake, and the misty rain on the lake. The misty, thousands of ripples are a very beautiful scenery.

Su Lianrong and Wen Li stopped at the gate of the courtyard outside the small building. Wen Li did not rush to return the piano in his arms to Su Lianrong, but waited for Su Lianrong to invite him into the room to talk, which made him disappointed. Yes, Su Lianrong had no intention of inviting him in to visit. After the two of them had a stalemate for a while, Wen Li had to return the piano to Su Lianrong.

Su Lianrong took the piano and bowed, "Lu Wen has offered a sacrifice to the wine."

"You don't have to be so polite between you and me." Wen Li held the umbrella, the smile on her face was a little reluctant, but she still didn't move.

Su Lianrong asked softly, "Wen Jijiu, is there anything else?"

Wen Li said, "There is nothing else, it's the day of the Peony Flower Club. Although it's hard to leave the school, there is still a small flower party in the school. I wonder if Su Jijiu enjoys the scenery?"

Su Lianrong hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Wen Li smiled sincerely, "Then... I'll pick you up."

When Su Lianrong was in the imperial capital in her early years, she had dealt with men of all kinds. Since she agreed, she naturally didn't have the little girl's twist and said, "Lu Wen has offered her a sacrifice to her."

Wen Li smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

Su Lianrong glanced at Yaoqin in her arms and said, "Wen Jijiu, if there is nothing else, I want to put the Qin down first..."

Wen Li realized it and hurriedly said, "Blame me, Su Jijiu, hurry up and enter the house. You are in poor health and tired. You have been standing in the rain for so long..."

Su Lianrong smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'll go back first."

Wen Li nodded, and after watching Su Lianrong turn into the building, she left with satisfaction with holding the umbrella, and her steps became much lighter.

After Su Lianrong entered the small building, she placed the umbrella in the entrance hall, then placed the Yaoqin on the piano stand, and then went up to the second floor.

The second floor is Su Lianrong's bedroom, and it also has the function of a study. She came to the table, spread out her pen and ink, wrote a line of words in small regular script for hairpins, and then cut the small piece of paper with a cutter knife. Then she took off a silver hairpin from her head and gently rotated the hairpin head to separate the hairpin from the hairpin. The hairpin was actually hollow. She stuffed the rolled paper into the hairpin. Rotate the hairpin head and return to its original state. Finally, she put her hairpin head back into her hair bun and sat in the study.

When the rain gradually got lower and lower, Su Lianrong got up and left the academy, and left the academy. Many people know that she is sick recently, so she has to go to the pharmacy to get medicine every now and then. Although Wen Li asked Su Lianrong not to go out casually and just ask him for something, Su Lianrong still deliberately kept a certain distance from Wen Li. It was normal to fall into the eyes of others. After all, the second young master Wen had a family. Since Su Lianrong is unwilling to be a concubine, it is reasonable to avoid suspicion.

Before going to the pharmacy, Su Lianrong went to the pawn shop and used the silver hairpin on her head as ten taels of silver, and then went to the pharmacy to spend two taels of silver to get medicine. Speaking of the sacrificial wine tribute in the Vientiane Academy, just like the Hanlins in the Imperial Capital, the noble is the noble, and it is really the hard work. If the family is not well off, you have to borrow money to live. Although Su Lianrong had some savings back then, she failed to bring them all out when she fled the imperial capital and was unwilling to be helped, so she often lived as jewelry over the years. Wen Li was watching her turn from pearl jewelry to gold jewelry and silver jewelry. She felt pity for her and wanted to give Su Lianrong more than once, but Su Lianrong refused them all, which made Wen Li even more and more I respect and pity Su Lianrong, and think that she is a noble woman. She was just involuntarily involved in the imperial capital, but she didn't care about Su Lianrong's past.

This silver hairpin was killed and was sold to another female customer by the pawnshop shopkeeper.

Then the guest took Yinchai around the Longmen Mansion and came to the inn and handed the Chaizi to the innkeeper, and explained that this was the owner's thing. The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect and immediately sent a letter to Taiping Mountain.

When Qin Su got the note, it was already the end of You hour. Li Xuandu was still discussing matters with Mrs. Lu, and it was not until half an hour later that Li Xuandu saw this note in Tianshui Pavilion.

After Li Xuan finished reading the note, his face was very calm, as if he had expected it, but his tone was a little heavy, "I'm finally here."

Qin Su asked, "Do you know who the Confucian senior mentioned above is?"

Li Xuandu said: "There are seven hermits in the Confucian school. One Zen Master Hu died, and six others are: Qinghe lay Buddhist, Mr. Bailu, Ziyanshan native, Chiyangweng, Jinchansou, and Old Man Long. Although he was dead, it was the master of the Great Heavenly Master who took action himself. If it were me, he would never be able to put him to death. Maybe he would be trapped by him. Mr. Qinghe, I have known him before. He is very powerful. It's also very tricky. The remaining five people have planned many palace changes, but they think they are all strong and not weak. If six people come forward together, plus the Earth Master or Song Zheng, things will be complicated. Don't Seeing that there are three immortal immortals here, we may not be able to win firmly."

Qin Su's face also became solemn.

Li Xuan sighed, "If this matter is not good, it will become a decisive battle for Confucianism and Taoism. It is not my original wish. In the end, I am not careful and a little rash."

Qin Su thought for a moment and said, "I don't see this way."

Li Xuan was stunned, then looked at Qin Su, showing a look of asking for advice. Although many things between them are mainly Li Xuandu, Li Xuan does not think that he is much better than Qin Su. What they are missing is just experience, so Li Xuandu will also obey Qin Su's suggestion.

Qin Su said: "If our opponent is the Earth Master, I believe in your judgment. The Earth Master will take advantage of the last chance that the Taoist sect has not yet been truly unified and launch a decisive battle in advance and make a desperate attempt. However, the Confucian sect is not the Earth Master. The Confucian school does not have such courage.”

These words were something Li Xuan had never thought of.

Qin Su said: "Over the years, good and evil have been fighting continuously, and it has become a habit, so both sides are not afraid of starting a war. But the Confucian Sect is different. The Confucian Sect has been in peace for a long time and has not been able to fight for many years. It is okay to make them motivate their words, but they really have to fight together. , but you have to scare away many people. Take you as an example. Over the years, you have experienced many battles and have almost died several times. But how many people are there in the Confucian sect like you? Even if there are, they all He is old. On the other hand, in addition to you, there are Bingyan, Yan Xuanji, Su Aiyun, Yu Nuwan and others, and even Li Yuanying, Li Taiyi, Shangguan Guan and others, all of whom have experienced a long time People in the battle formation, this is the difference between Taoist and Confucian schools. "

Li Xuan did not rush to speak, but fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "What you said seems to make sense."

"Brother Xuan, what is some truth?" Qin Su smiled, "When the golden tent destroyed the Jin Dynasty of the previous dynasty, how invincible was the iron cavalry of its army? But why were they driven out of the Central Plains by Emperor Taizu of this dynasty decades later? It’s not because they were fascinated by the flower world in the Central Plains and were greedy for pleasure. You said that the Confucian Sect has been in the world for so many years, and has lived in this flower world, and is also the son of the daughter Jie Chuitang. What would those Confucian Sects be? You can imagine how they dare to start a war?”

Qin Su calculated with his fingers again: "The most critical point is that there is no recognized leader in the Confucian school, and it is impossible to choose three leaders like us. Just one Vientiane Academy, there are three high-ranking priests. In addition to the Vientiane Academy, there are two university palaces and four major academies. The three university palaces and four major academies together are seven hearts, one academies, one mountain master and two deputy mountain masters, This is a twenty-one heart. There are seven Confucian hermits you mentioned. It is true that there are many people and many people. It is inevitable that people are uneven. Some people want to fight, and some people don’t want to fight, so they will definitely have to fight in the internal struggle. The more internal conflicts the Confucian school, the more scattered people are, and the uneven people are. How can we be consistent with the outside world? If we want people to be united, we either have another saint to suppress everyone, or we are forced into a desperate situation by external troubles, but in my opinion Even when the Confucian Party was destroyed, it still did not forget internal struggles. In the late Jin Dynasty, this was already interpreted. This is the root of the bones and cannot be changed."

Li Xuan had to admit, "Su Su is worthy of being the Marquis of Wu, what you said is indeed reasonable."

Qin Su felt a little embarrassed and said, "I started to think about this when you were not here just now. You only know the news now, of course it is not as thoughtful as I am."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "One person's plan is short, everyone's plan is strong. Then let's talk about your thoughts."

Qin Su subconsciously walked back and forth in front of Li Xuandu, and said, "Since the Confucian Sect dared not start a war, then I expected that the Confucian Sect's move was a bluff. They did not dare to fight, but they insisted on showing off their true attacks. , relying on their size to scare us, and we must also shine their fists in front of us. If we are afraid, show timidity, and give in, that is what they want. In their words, this is The soldiers who defeated others without fighting, and then they could press forward step by step. We could only retreat again and again, and everything before became useless. Therefore, we must not give in. Not only can we not give in, but we must also take the initiative to expose this The layer of window paper is for everyone to see. The Confucian school is just a paper-stuffed tiger, just scaring people."

Li Xuandu's eyes lit up and he slapped his boxing, "As long as the wind changes, the vassals of other forces that were originally captured by the power of the Confucian Sect will abandon the Confucian Sect and turn to us. By then, it will be the general trend, and it seems powerful. The Confucian school, when the wind blows, it will fall."

Qin Su nodded and said, "That's true, but first we must keep it steady. Although this trip to Longmen Mansion will not be a decisive battle, small fights are indispensable."

Li Xuan couldn't help but get up and hug Qin Su, and spun it gently, praising, "Su Su, you are really my virtuous support."
