Taiping Inn

Outside the Altar of State and Grain, everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.

Bai Xiushang sighed, "What a powerful sword energy! Zifu used the 'Against Heaven' sword energy, while the Great Sword Immortal used the 'Original One Sword Energy'. The original is the beginning of form, the union of yin and yang. 'Original One Sword Energy' is derived from the 'Taishi Sword Energy', which is transformed from qi into form. It has form but no substance. Since it has no substance, it cannot be followed. It has no birth or death, so it is not bound by things and cannot be controlled. However, Zifu's 'Against Heaven' sword energy is too strong, and it has reached the point of using the real to attack the virtual. Facing the Great Sword Immortal's already superb 'Original One Sword Energy', it is not at all inferior."

Zhang Luanshan paid more attention to the "Human World" and said, "It's really strange. What kind of means did Zifu use to actually It makes the "Human World" not inferior to the "Knock on the Heaven's Gate". Did he really make the "Human World" a fairy object? "

Lan Xuanshuang, as a guest of the inn, knows more secrets. She suddenly said: "It is the sword energy of the ancient sword immortal of Jianxiu Mountain. With such sword energy, even the "Knock on the Heaven's Gate" can't take advantage. "

Shi Wuyue sighed: "Today, it seems that the four words "deep planning and far-sightedness" can be given to Zifu, but even so, the chances of winning don't seem to be very high. "

Xiao Shiyu, who stood side by side with Shi Wuyue, was not pessimistic. Maybe it was because of her personality. Even if she was really in a desperate situation, Xiao Shiyu would not be discouraged. So she sometimes seemed very pedantic, but she was also admirable.

Then Xiao Shiyu said, "Everything depends on human effort."

On the other side, Yang Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "Master is master, disciple is disciple, there is a generation difference. The old sword immortal is still very advanced. No matter how powerful Li Xuandu is, he is not the opponent of the old sword immortal. In my opinion, you can put down your worries."

Gu Yusheng said, "As long as the old man wins, the situation in the imperial capital can be reversed in an instant."

Liu Yi was a little worried, and turned to look in the direction of the Imperial Observatory, saying, "The key is that there is a Confucian sect who wants to take advantage of the situation."

Lou Xinqing hesitated and said, "If...if Li Xuandu died, those Taoists should obey the orders of the great sword immortal, right? If they can turn against each other, it is hard to say who is the winner."

A middle-aged man came to the gate of the Imperial Observatory.

In theory, it is difficult for ordinary people to come here, but he came here unimpeded, as if no one was around.

The King of Jin was about to leave the Imperial Observatory accompanied by the Purple Swallow Hermit, but was blocked by this middle-aged man.

It was a coincidence that after leaving the Censorate, the Cabinet Prime Minister Zhao Lianggeng led a group of imperial party officials to this side and saw this scene.

The man wore a fur hat, which was like a cylinder, very large, with the fur side facing outward. After wearing it, it can protect the ears and cover the eyebrows.

In Liaodong, this kind of hat is very common.

There are also many in Jiangbei. However, in Qianbu Corridor, where there are many nobles, few people dress like this. After all, adults have to wear black gauze on their heads. Even if it is cold, they can only use the hood of the cloak to cover the black gauze hat, and cannot wear this kind of fur hat directly.

So the man stood out among the red and purple nobles.

Zhao Lianggeng frowned. He felt that the man was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

The King of Jin did not recognize this man who was older than him. Although Ziyanshanren looked young, he was actually old. However, he recognized this middle-aged man. His face changed slightly. He protected the King of Jin behind him and said in a deep voice: "Qin Qing."

These two short words resounded in everyone's ears like thunder. Both the King of Jin and Zhao Lianggeng subconsciously held their breath.

Although Zhao Zheng was always mentioned when Liaodong was mentioned in the court, everyone knew that Qin Qing was the real lord of Liaodong and truly controlled the lifeline of the three states of Liaodong. Otherwise, there would be no "King of Liao".

No one had ever thought that Qin Qing, the lord of Liaodong, would appear here.

At this moment, the King of Jin had understood why Li Xuan did not ask Qin Qing to deal with Tan Taiyun. It turned out that he wanted Qin Qing to personally guard against the Confucian School.

This was also the first time that the King of Jin met Qin Qing, and his mood was very complicated.

Although he was in high position in the temple and held great power, the so-called power was empty. Whether it was the Queen Mother or the Emperor, they could easily take away his power. Facing the traitor Li Xuandu, he could only swallow his pride and ask the Confucianists for help. Even if the Confucianists put forward extremely harsh conditions and requirements, he could only agree to it. He had no choice.

But Qin Qing was different. He was not in the temple, but far away in Liaodong, but the power in his hands was real and no one could take it away. The three states of Liaodong were all in his control. Although Qin Qing did not have a king title, he was more like a king than any other prince. Bai Xiushang was willing to give up the position of the leader of the Cihang Sect and marry him. Li Xuandu, the future Taoist master, had to respectfully call him father-in-law. Even the Confucianists... Even the Confucianists could only use their mouths to slander him privately and behind his back, but did not dare to really do anything to the Lord of Liaodong.

It was not that the Confucianists were unwilling, but that they could not.

Compared with Qin Qing and me, who is the king?

A senior official of the Hou Party said subconsciously: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness the King of Liao."

Qin Qing couldn't help but smile: "I am not the King of Liao, nor do I have any title or official position. I can be regarded as a gentry or a commoner."

This is not because Qin Qing deliberately humbled himself. The Qin family has served in officials for generations, but Qin Qing is not among them. In fact, Li Xuandu is the same. He has no title or official position. Although he has great power, he has no private property. Before he became the head of the Li family, there was only a Jianxiu Mountain left to him by the Earth Master.

This important minister of the Hou Party looked ashamed. He called Qin Qing the King of Liao in private, but this King of Liao was really nameless. Now he subconsciously said what he said in his heart. If someone made a big fuss, he should have done it himself Please dismissal from office.

The people of Ziyanshan also realized that it was inappropriate. In any case, before they completely broke up, he shouldn't have called him by Qin Qing in front of him, which is equivalent to swearing.

So the people of Ziyanshan lowered their posture slightly and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Qin is coming today?"

Qin Qing said straight to the point: "I came here today to see Mr. Long."

Among the Confucian school, the word "old" was added before by Mr. Xu, which was a honorary title. In the past, only the chief minister of the cabinet who holds great power can enjoy this honor. Among the Taoist sects, only Li Daoxu is treated like this, and Li Xuandu and Qin Qing are both slightly inferior.

Qin Qing was really very polite about this.

The people of Ziyanshan frowned, it was difficult to refuse, and it was difficult to agree at once.

At this moment, a voice came: "I am so frightened to see you when you are visiting."

After the words came, Old Man Long, who was leaning on a dragon-headed crutch, walked out of the gate of the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

Everyone's eyes fell on the old man, and then many officials such as King Jin or Zhao Lianggeng bowed and bowed.

When the sage passed away, the Confucian sect lacked a leader, and the head of the hermit performed some of his duties. It can be said that he was the highest-ranking person in the Confucian sect.

Only Qin Qing stood with his hands behind his back, not bent down, not bowed his head, and never bowed his tribute.

It was not until this time that everyone discovered that Qin Qing had a knife hanging around his waist. It was not the "deceptive" that made him famous, but just an ordinary long sword. Many merchants and travelers would also take him. The last one is used to defend yourself.

Old Man Long disregarded Qin Qing's rudeness, or the world was always particularly tolerant of people with high status, and rudeness and casualness were only between the front lines.

Old Man Long looked at Qin Qing and repeated the question that the people of Ziyanshan had asked: "I wonder what Mr. Qin came today?"

Qin Qing replied: "In theory, everyone is calling me a 'Liaodong traitor' to come to the imperial capital, but my daughter is in the imperial capital, and my son-in-law is in the imperial capital. I heard that my in-law Li Lao The gentleman is here too, so I have to come.”

Old Man Long narrowed his eyes and waited for the following text.

Qin Qing continued, "I hope the Confucian Sect will not interfere in this matter."

Old Man Long whispered: "It is related to the court, the court, and the people of the world. What if the Confucian school has to interfere in this matter?"

Qin Qing smiled faintly, slapped the sword on his waist, and said without hesitation: "That's simple. I asked my sword and see if it agreed."
