Qin Su did not follow Li Xuandu to the imperial capital, but did not stay in Liaodong. Qin Qing had already left the customs and he was there to take charge of the overall situation, so Qin Su did not need to serve him on his behalf.

Qin Su went to Qizhou.

In fact, Li Xuandu and Qin Su left Liaodong together, and then they took action separately after entering the pass. Li Xuandu went directly to the imperial capital, while Qin Su went to Qizhou, which was close to Zhili.

Qizhou is like a shrinking world, and the situation is very complicated. Although the Qingyang Rebellion has been quelled, there are also the Qi Wangfu, the Sheji Academy, the Qizhou Governor's Office, and the Donghua Sect and the Qing Wei Sect, which are complicated.

When Qin Su went to Liaodong, in addition to visiting his uncle Qin Daofang, he also had to meet Li Daoxu.

Although Li Xuan had already predicted that his master's attitude was irreversible, he still had to make an attitude from reason. But he did not go there in person, but asked Qin Su to come forward on his behalf.

Qin Su understood Li Xuandu’s difficulties, so he was naturally obliged to do so.

Of course, considering the current situation, Li Xuandu also made some arrangements to ensure Qin Su's safety. He first notified Xu Da from the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and also notified Li Feiyan and Zhang who had returned to Qingweizong, and asked them to serve as a supporter.

So Qin Su met Xu Da shortly after entering Qizhou.

Xu Da was not alone. He also came with many guards from the Qi Palace, that is, the thirteenth sects, most of them were good players. In addition, Qin Su himself was also a master on the Taixuan List. As long as he was not a master of the Changsheng himself, he could not do anything to Qin Su.

In a Taiping Inn opened by Taiping Sect, Xu Da booked a private room in advance and sat opposite Qin Su.

Although Li Xuandu and Qin Su were not married yet, both inside and outside treated Qin Su with respect as their wife.

Qin Suwen said: "What are the changes in the Qingwei Sect now?"

Xu Dadao: "I really asked the wife the right question. Now there is indeed undercurrents within the Qingwei Sect."

Qin Su's face became solemn, and she asked again: "The specific situation?"

Xu Dadao: "Since September, Qingweizong has suspended some trade and began to build warships on a large scale. In this regard, Qingweizong is the highest in the world, so the fleet expansion speed is extremely rapid. If war starts at sea, neither the navy of the court nor other fleets will be the opponent of Qingweizong."

Qin Su frowned, "Why is there no news from the second senior brother?"

Xu Da whispered: "The reason why we can learn about this is very accidental. When the old master was the King of Qi, he made some arrangements for the Qingwei Sect and inserted some people into it. However, most of these people were cleaned up by the Qingwei Sect or directly rebelled. After so many years, there was only one person left. The reason why he was able to escape the disaster and not be found was because he was not among the Thirty-Six Halls, but was assigned to a remote island on the Seventy-Two Islands. Not long ago, he discovered that warships were started to be built on these islands and transformed some merchant ships into warships."

Qin Su pondered for a moment and said, "In other words, even the two deputy sect leaders don't know about these things."

Xu Da nodded and said, "That's true, so we analyze that Qingweizong's move was instructed by others, that is..."

"Old Sect Master." Qin Su defined it, "It must be the old Sect Master. Neither Li Daoshi nor Situ Xuanluo had such great power."

Xu Da agreed: "I think so too, but what is the profound meaning of the Great Sword Immortal's move is so hard to understand."

Qin Su knew that Xu Da might not be unable to understand, but he just took into account the master-apprentice relationship between Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu, and was worried and refused to say it clearly.

"No matter how powerful the warship is, it cannot be separated from water and cannot attack the city." Qin Su did not have such concerns, "so such a move seemed to be attacking instead of defending, and the old sect leader seemed to be on guard."

"Is there a map?" Qin Su asked.

"Yes." Xu Da immediately took out a map from the Sumeru treasure, spread it on the table, and then clicked on the northwest of the East China Sea Islands. "I just said that the island is here."

Qin Su looked at the map in front of her, pressed her finger on the map, then gently stroked, and said, "The construction of a fleet of ships in Qingweizong either blocked the coastline, which had nothing to do with the overall situation of the imperial capital, or was just guarding against... Liaodong."

As soon as the word "Liaodong" came out, Xu Dao fell silent.

Qin Su also felt silent for a moment and murmured in a low voice: "It's finally here."

She now has some experience of the pain of marrying the princess in the story. When the two countries are fighting, they are in a dilemma. However, she feels it is not that difficult, because it is not her who really faces all this, but Li Xuandu, who is far away in the imperial capital.

Qin Su said after a while: "Qizhou and Youzhou face each other across the sea, so there are three roads to choose from when entering Liaodong. Enter directly from Yuguanzhong Gate, take a detour to the grassland, Jinzhou Junzhen, and land crossing the sea from Qizhou. If you want to cross the sea, you can't avoid the East China Sea. The Qingweizong, which has been in Qizhou for many years, is preparing for the future."

Since Qin Su took the initiative to provoke, Xu Da no longer had any concerns and said, "Mrs. What Madam said is very true, so this trip will probably not have a good result."

Qin Su said: "At this point, there is no way back."

Xu Da hesitated and said, "Then the safety of the lady..."

Qin Su said: "Swords are swords and swords, friendships are friendships and friendships. The old sect leader will not do anything to me."

Since Qin Su said that, Xu Dafeng stopped talking.

...

Xijing.

Compared with the undercurrents in the imperial capital, the city of Xijing was dead silent.

On the one hand, it was because a large number of Wudao Sect's men had left Xijing and went to the Western Regions, and on the other hand, it was because the Holy Lord Dan Tai Yun returned from Liaodong.

Until today, the gate of Wuxu Palace is still closed and there is no sign of Dan Taiyun.

Outside Wuxu Palace, a man and a woman stand opposite each other.

The man was Huangfu Yuxiu who fled back to Xijing in a panic from Liaodong, while the woman was a palace official who had been staying in Xijing.

At this time, the atmosphere between the two was a little subtle. This subtlety had nothing to do with the ambiguous relationship between men and women, but instead revealed a hint of hostility.

In Huangfu Yuxiu's opinion, the palace official has always been unclear about Li Xuan's mind. This time, Dan Tai Yun returned with a defeat at the hands of Li Xuandu. The palace official also knew Huangfu Yuxiu's little thoughts about Dan Tai Yun, but he had never pointed it out.

After the two were silent for a long time, Huangfu Yuxiu finally spoke: "The Holy Lord is very hurt."

"I know." The palace official replied.

Huangfu Yuxiu said again: "It's all thanks to Li Xuandu."

The tone of the palace official still did not fluctuate at all, "I know too."

Huangfu Yuxiu said in a deep voice: "Why did Li Xuan happen to appear in Liaodong? Is anyone informing me?"

The palace official smiled indifferently: "You don't have to beat around the bush, you might as well just say my name."

Huangfu Yuxiu looked straight at the palace official.

The palace official said: "Whether I have been informed, what you said is not the end. Let's wait for the Holy Lord to come out of seclusion."

Huangfu Yuxiu knew that the palace official was right, so she could only snort coldly and turn and leave.
