Taiping Inn

Hu Liang had no cultivation to resist the power of drinking, and it was already dawn when he woke up. Because the small hall where the two of them were drinking had wooden floors, Li Xuan didn't even bother him and let him sleep on the floor all night. People who are incompatible with the cold and heat will not catch a cold or get sick.

Hu Liang let go of the wine jar that had been hugged all night, got up, stretched, and walked out the door. There was a wide yard outside. Li Xuandu was standing in the yard, and there were two sword energy surrounding him. He was indifferent. now.

Seeing Hu Liang wake up, Li Xuan put away the "Dragon and Tiger Sword Aura" and turned around and said, "You are awake."

Hu Liang said "Yeah", "Old Li, what kind of wine is this? It's a bit powerful."

Li Xuandu said, "This wine is called 'Hundred Grass Brew', and it can be regarded as medicinal wine. It was given to me by the Wanshou Zhenren of Miaozhenzong."

"Excellent. I can let Wanshou give you a gift." Hu Liang smacked his lips, "This wine tastes really good. After drinking it, it doesn't smell the wine, but it exudes a refreshing fragrance."

Li Xuandu said, "It's a pity that there are only three jars. After we drank two jars, we only had the last jar left. We have to wait until my wedding before you can have a good time."

Hu Liang asked with the opportunity: "When will you get married?"

Li Xuandu said, "It's coming soon."

"Forget it, I'll ask you more." Hu Liang waved his hand, "By the way, I heard from Master that there will be a period of 70 to 49 days after entering the immortality. How is your illness?"

Li Xuandu replied: "From July 15th, he has recovered now."

Hu Liang asked again, "When are you planning to go to the Imperial Capital?"

Li Xuandu pondered and said, "I need another opportunity. I am waiting for someone to help me explore the reality of the Qing Empire."

Hu Liang said, "From what this means, you have put nails on the wife named Xie."

Li Xuan smiled faintly, "It's not polite to come but not come."

Hu Liang said seriously, "But I would like to remind you, don't underestimate Xie Zhi. This woman is from the Zhenchuan Sect in Liaodong. Although the Zhenchuan Sect is famous, she is almost upside down among the twenty-two sects. Not to mention that it is comparable to Qingwei Sect, Wudao Sect, Qingwei Sect, and Zheng Sect, it is even worse than Tianle Sect. In terms of background, Xie Zhi has almost no background and no help. She is not as good as the Bai Sect Master of Cihang Sect, nor is she as good as the Dan Tai Sect Master of Wudao Sect. But she can get on the line of the Earth Master and let the Earth Master send her into the palace, and defeat so many palace concubines. He became the queen, and later became the queen mother, defeating the four ministers, and the Great Sword Immortal as his backer, and dealing with the local master, the Great Sword Immortal, the Old Heavenly Master, and the Confucian Sect. Such methods are not ordinary!”

Li Xuan did not deny that, "Xie Zhi is indeed a character, but the power-making methods in the secret rooms of the boudoir are not suitable for the general trend of the world. Xie Zhi can control the imperial court, but is unable to change the overall situation of the world. I am even more curious, Xie Zhi will go to the end What level of cultivation is it?”

Hu Liang thought for a while and replied, "Don't worry, Xie Zhi absolutely has no cultivation in the immortal realm, otherwise the immortal realm would be too valuable, but the cultivation in the heavenly realm should be there, as for the three realms of heavenly realm. I can't say anything in the state. However, the master once mentioned that Xie Zhi has excellent qualifications and roots. If he is not distracted from power and concentrating on practicing, he may not be weaker than Dan Taiyun. And Dan Taiyun is over 40 years old, Xie Zhi is only in his early thirties this year, and the difference between the two is more than ten years. If we speculate based on Dan Taiyun's realm, Xie Zhi's cultivation is not weak, at least it is mine. superior."

Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "The realm of immortality is not invincible. Generally speaking, three masters of the realm of heaven and man can barely resist a realm of immortality. Although they cannot win, they can at least be able to do something. Back, I won’t be able to fight back. Although I am currently in the realm of immortality, I dare not say that I despise the many great masters of the realm of heaven and humanity in the world, not to mention that there are people of immortality in the imperial capital. "

Hu Liang asked, "Who?"

Li Xuandu said: "Old man Long, the leader of the Seven Hermits of the Confucian Sect, is also the real murderer behind my senior brother."

Hu Liang said, "This is really a collection of new and old grudges."

Li Xuandu said lightly: "I will take this person's life."

Hu Liang was silent for a moment and said, "I came today. In addition to visiting you, there is also half of the business, which is about the junior sister. After the master learned that the junior sister was injured, he originally planned to come in person, but received the rumor from the junior sister. I believe that she is fine and does not have to come over. The master is not good at going against the wishes of his junior sister, but he is a little worried, so I asked me to visit his junior sister as well."

Li Xuandu sighed, "It's my fault."

"Don't think so." Hu Liang said seriously, "Master is not an unreasonable person, nor does he mean to blame you. He is just worried about his junior sister."

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "In a few days, Su Su will come over and you will see her."

...

Double Ninth Festival, on the ninth day of the ninth month, the two nines are resonated, which is called "Chongninth". There is a saying that six yin and nine yang is the number of yang, so the double nine is also called "Double Yang". The people have the custom of climbing high on that day, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Climbing High Festival". There are also sayings such as Chongjiu Festival, Dogwood, and Chrysanthemum Festival.

In addition, the homophonic sound of "Nine Nine" on the ninth day of the ninth month is "long-lasting", which means long-lasting, so the Double Ninth Festival, New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival are also four major festivals for worshiping ancestors.

Every year on Double Ninth Festival, there is no curfew in the imperial capital. Although it is not as good as the Lantern Festival, it will be lively for a while and the streets are brightly lit.

However, at this time, the sharp torches and high-hanging lanterns made the lobby of the Qingluan Guard's Governor's Office brighter than the streets outside.

The predecessor of Qingluan Guard was the "Qingyisi" established by Emperor Taizu Gao, who was responsible for the emperor's guards. Later, he merged with the "Yiluan Guard" that was in charge of the emperor's ceremonies and changed it to "Qingluan Guard". The chief official was the commander of the third rank. make.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizong split the Qingluan Guard from the Grand Governor's Mansion and promoted it to the Qingluan Guard's Mansion. The highest official became the first-rank Qingluan Guard's Left Governor, with the second under him. Two right governors of the rank, as well as several assistants from the second-rank governors and the third-rank governors, the original third-rank commander became the chief officer of Qingluan Guards of various prefectures, and the third-rank commander of the third-rank commander of the commander of the third-rank commander and the third-rank commander There are two assistant commanders in the fourth rank.

Dozens of commanders and commanders and officers above the Qingluan Guard Office suddenly received an order to have a major case for prison and take some people. At this time, they all gathered in the lobby of the Qingluan Guard Office.

Liu Yi is the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and according to regulations, the Qingluan Guard General's Office is under his jurisdiction. At this time, he was sitting in the main seat of the lobby, and a blue phoenix with wings flapping its wings and flying was embossed on the wall behind him.

At the imperial meeting, the Empress Dowager personally finalized the arrest of the "Inn" rebellion, and the Qingluan Guard was the main force, so Liu Yi had to take action himself. Liu Yi coughed lightly and asked, "Have you all arrived?"

"Go back to Eunuch Liu, you're all here." Ding Ce stepped forward and replied.

Liu Yi looked at the drip in the lobby, "It's almost time to go, have you been scattering your hands?"

A general general replied, "Go back to Eunuch Liu, the manpower has been scattered."

Liu Yi nodded slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, closing his eyes to rest.

No one spoke in the lobby, and only the vague sound of firecrackers coming from afar and the occasional "crackling" sound of torches around him burning.

It was silent. After a while, the drums at midnight finally rang. Everyone was excited, and Liu Yi, who was closing his eyes and resting, slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the gate of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office slowly opened. When someone walked into the outside, he actually left Li Yuanying from Qingwei Sect.

Liu Yi stood up from the seat, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He didn't expect Li Yuanying to appear here, but he bowed and said, "Mr. Li."

Li Yuanying walked into the lobby and said with a respectful respect, "Eunuch Liu." Then he asked, "Are you ready?"

"It's ready." Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "I've been watching them for some time and I'll be able to catch all the gangs of rebellions in one fell swoop."

Li Yuanying said, "The Empress Dowager asked me to assist Eunuch Liu, please give the order."

Liu Yi nodded slightly and waved his hand.

In the lobby, the deputy generals, the chief commanders, the chief commanders, and the chief commanders received the orders and walked quickly outside.

Only Liu Yi and Li Yuanying were left in the lobby.

Liu Yi let out his hand, "Mr. Li, please sit down."

Neither of the two sat in the main seat, but sat opposite each other on the left and right.

Li Yuanying looked at Liu Yi, "Eunuch Liu seems to have a lot to ask me, so you might as well say it out loud."

"Since Mr. Li said that, then we will say it bluntly." Liu Yi smiled, "Mr. Li already knows that there are riots in the imperial capital recently. The Empress Dowager issued an order to strictly investigate the chaos, and would rather kill a thousand people by mistake. , no one can be let go. At the imperial meeting, the officials also controversialized the person behind the rebellion. Some people said it was Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu. I wonder what Mr. Li thinks? "

Li Yuanying seemed to have expected it, and had not thought deeply, and directly replied: "I can't make a conclusion yet if the person behind the chaos party is Li Xuandu. But I can't make a decision. But I can be sure that even Li Xuan is not the leader of the chaos party. It must also have a close relationship with the rebellious party. He is a restless person and will definitely think of ways to deal with the court."

Li Yuanying's words corresponded to Liu Yi's views at the imperial meeting. Liu Yi couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Li said very well."

Li Yuanying said again: "This problem is actually not a problem. In the end, whoever benefits the most is the person behind the scenes may not be unclear about this, but they are still thinking about leaving a way out and are unwilling to be completely with Li Xuan." They broke up and thought that they hadn't killed Zhang Suqing. If one day the situation was ineffective, they could still go to Liaodong and Li Xuandu again."

Liu Yi narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Li Yuanying leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "But they don't know Li Xuandu too much. Li Xuandu is not just here to avenge him. He wants to completely clean up the entire imperial capital, and no one can escape."
