Chapter IX Conspiracy
When Li Xuandu came back from Yuyingguan, it was already dark. In addition to Qin Su, Shangguan Wan was also waiting for him, and he probably wanted to ask Li Xuandu to decide if he had something to do.
Qin Su signaled Shangguan Wanxian to say.
Shangguan Wan was not pretentious. First, she roughly reported the progress of the four of them. Then the matter she wanted to ask Li Xuandu to decide was very simple, with only one word, that is "money". It is impossible to plan such a big thing, without money. After Li Xuandu subdivided the rights and responsibilities of each department in the inn, the other department had daily expenses and a "small money treasury" that could be kept freely. If large expenses were needed, the account would be transferred from the account, and Li Xuandu's consent was also required.
In fact, Ning Yi should have spoken this matter, but Ning Yi couldn't take it off for the time being, so she had to speak up by Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wan took out a budget list written in advance from her sleeve and handed it over to Li Xuandu.
Li Xuandu took the list and quickly scanned it. He had no objection to the items listed on the list. There were also signatures of Ning Yi, Murong Hua, Shangguan Wan and Lu Yanbing below. After Li Xuandu sat down at the desk, he raised a red pen and wrote two vermilion red characters "accepted". Because the names of the death row prisoners were written in red pen, Li Xuandu changed it to an ink pen and signed his name at the end.
Li Xuandu returned the list to Shangguan Guan and said, "There are also ticket numbers from Taiping Money House in the Imperial Capital. You can go there to withdraw money first, and then send the bills and list back to Jianxiu Mountain together to let the account be recorded."
Shangguan Wan responded and said goodbye and left.
Only Li Xuandu and Qin Su were left.
Qin Su repeated Lou Xinqing's words in full, including the fact that Xie Zhi wanted to interview Li Xuandu, and then asked: "Can it be the Overlord Night Banquet?"
Li Xuandu pondered: "It's not impossible."
Qin Su showed a look of worry and said, "Will you still go?"
Li Xuan did not answer directly, and said thoughtfully: "Will there be a formation similar to the 'Taishang Three Clear Dragon and Tiger Formation' in the palace? If so, it might be a tyrant night banquet."
Qin Su said: "Whether there is or not, it is a secret of the palace. Perhaps only people from Confucianism and people from the inner court can know it. But what I mean is, I would rather believe in it than not."
Li Xuandu said: "I think we can use this to test the Confucian Sect. Are we not allies? Leave this problem to allies and see if they will tell the truth."
Qin Suwen said: "What if they deliberately deceived it? I think people in the Confucian sect are likely to kill people with a knife. And we can't judge the authenticity of what the Confucian sect said."
Li Xuandu said: "I will know the truth afterwards."
Qin Su frowned: "You have to take risks with yourself."
"This matter has been delayed for so long, and it should be a break." Li Xuandu said, "It's like two people fighting. They don't have to follow the rules and follow the rules. It may not be a test or a killer move."
Qin Yuan wanted to speak but stopped.
Li Xuandu comforted, "You don't have to worry about me. Last time I met Dan Taiyun in Taibai Mountain, I only used the "Taiyi Magic Art" three times, and there was still one "Taiyi Magic Art" left. Even if there was any formation, I probably couldn't stop me. Last time in the battle of the Dazhen Mansion, I broke the fourth "Taiyi Magic Art"..."
Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I remembered that you didn't know the human affairs at that time, and it was a pity that you didn't see the scene of me showing great power."
Qin Su couldn't help but give him a blank look.
She had never seen Li Xuandu breaking the "Taishang Three Clear Dragon and Tiger Formation", but afterwards he heard the specific process from others more than once, among which Lu Yanbing's description is the most vivid.
According to Lu Yanbing, Li Xuan seemed to have become a different person at that time, yelling, not like human voices, and his eyes were red. Many people blocked the killing of people, and the posture of Buddha blocking the killing of Buddhas, and his whole body was full of energy and no money. The sky and the earth were dark. She had never seen Li Xuandu like this since she was a child, and she was really scared.
In Lu Yanbing's opinion, Li Xuan should have been scared too. When Zhang Baiyue died, Li Xuan was exhausted and was taken back to the East China Sea by Zhang Haishi. The news of Zhang Baiyue's suicide was learned later, and Li Xuan was also mentally prepared in advance. This time, he watched Qin Su being attacked without any preparation. If Qin Suguo was really killed in front of Li Xuandu, the difference would be too big.
Lu Yanbing was still a little scared when talking about this. One was that he was afraid that Qin Su, a good sister and future sister-in-law, would die, and the other was that he was afraid that Li Xuan would do something irreversible. For example, he started a massacre in the Dazhen Mansion. Fortunately, Li Xuan quickly discovered that Qin Su was not dead, so he gradually calmed down.
Qin Su was naturally happy when she heard this afterwards. This undoubtedly proved her status in Li Xuandu's mind. The only pity was that she failed to see Li Xuandu's crazy look with her own eyes.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Li Xuandu has brought up this matter on his own initiative.
Li Xuandu asked, "Don't you believe it?"
"I believe it." Qin Su couldn't help but say, "Do you feel that I didn't see you showing off your power last time? It's a pity, so I specially compensated me this time?"
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "It can be said that."
Qin Su knew that Li Xuan had made up his mind and probably couldn't persuade him, so she turned to him and said, "Even if you want to use the trick, you must be fully prepared. Who are you going to take? You can't go to the banquet alone."
Li Xuandu said: "Of course you have to be fully prepared."
Qin Su suddenly remembered something again and said, "The reason why you were able to break the 'Taishang Three Clear Dragon and Tiger Formation' was because the person who presided over the formation was not the immortal realm. If there was really a similar formation in the palace, it was the old man Long who personally presided over it..."
"It must be impossible." Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "Xie Zhi is the owner of the palace, and the Confucian Sect is Xie Zhi's enemy. If there is such a formation, how could Xie Zhi hand over the formation to the people in the Confucian Sect? Wouldn't that be the key to the door lock to the robber outside the door? She wasn't she afraid that Old Man Long would use the formation to kill me and her?"
Qin Su was so stupid that he had to admit that he thought it was simple.
Li Xuandu continued: "As for how to prepare, it is very simple. I will not bring one person to the banquet this time."
Qin Su immediately objected: "No, at least you have to bring Wu Xian with you. With her taking care of you, even if Xie Zhi invites Dan Tai Yun over, he will not be afraid."
"Don't worry first." Li Xuandu raised his hand to signal Qin Su to be calm, and then said, "Wu Xian is not as weak as before. She cannot be in danger. It's better to hide in the dark. Fortunately, few people know her existence. And just Wu Xian may not be able to control the situation. You are right, Dan Taiyun must be on guard. She is now muddying the water, which makes people feel annoying."
Qin Su couldn't help but say, "In my impression, Dan Taiyun is not such a person. Could it be that his temperament changed drastically because of Song Zheng's death?"
Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "It's not like this. Dan Taiyun wanted to kill me because of Song Zheng, which is nothing wrong. It's wrong to say that she gave up because of Song Zheng. The reason why she did this is because she understood that with Liangzhou, Qinzhou and other places, she could not plot against the Central Plains without the help of the local army, so she decided to manage the Western Regions and the grasslands. Now she was messing around, probably to delay time and avoid premature unification of the Central Plains. The main thing is to guard against Liaodong."
Qin Su understood a little: "If the Liaodong army unified the world, it would inevitably recapture Liangzhou and Qinzhou. After passing Liangzhou, it would be the Western Regions. No one could guarantee whether the troops would turn to the Western Regions with the flow. Dan Taiyun was already preparing for the future."
"That's right." Li Xuandu said, "Dan Tai Yun's purpose of muddying waters is to balance the two sides, evenly match. Whoever is weak is to help whoever is weak. Now it seems that she thinks the court is weaker, or she thinks the court has a smaller threat to her. Of course, personal grudges are not ruled out. For Dan Tai Yun, it is a new and old hatred, both public and private."
Qin Su sighed: "No wonder the ancients said that those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a moment, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a territory. In order to seek a corner of the Western Regions, Dan Taiyun looked at the general trend of the world."
Li Xuandu said: "So this empress still has some advantages, you might as well learn from her."
Qin Suliu's eyebrows stood up and pretended to be angry and said, "What, I'm learning Dan Taiyun, are you planning to learn Song Zheng?"
Li Xuan was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Who can't learn from the old man or the earth master? I insist on learning what a defeated general does."
Qin Su snorted: "Yes, the Earth Master has a wife and a concubine, one is Mrs. Leng and one is Mrs. Luo. Do you also want to learn from the Earth Master to enjoy the blessings of all people? As for the old man, he is not promiscuous, but he is also ruthless."
Li Xuan said silently: "What... what is this? Then I can learn from the old master, right?"
Qin Su snorted heavily: "Okay, the old master has never married in his life. If you want to regret the marriage, just say so, why bother to circle around?"
Li Xuan said helplessly: "Then I will learn from my father-in-law?"
Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan was in tune with Qin Su and said in unison: "After saying that, who will be Mrs. Xuxian?"
Qin Su was stunned, then smiled and said, "You are dead."
Li Xuandu said: "You are unreasonable and even turned the blame. I am a damnation. There are only a few seniors in total. They can't marry, they can't remarry, they can't be ruthless, they can't be erotic, and they can't be robbed, and they can't be robbed. Then I have to learn no one and be Li Xuandu."
Qin Su smiled and said, "That's right."
Li Xuandu coughed lightly and said seriously: "Continue to talk about serious matters. If you don't move, you will be thunderous. If you move, you will be killed. Although I am alone at the banquet, we must have our people outside. You are responsible for this matter yourself and will gather all the great masters of the Heavenly Realm who can be called on and mobilized by us to secretly go to the imperial capital through the Yingyue Cave Heaven. Remember, this matter must be secret."
Qin Su restrained his smile and Zheng focused his head.
Li Xuandu said: "In addition, in Liaodong, you can also write a letter. I will draft a copy for you first, and you will delete and modify it as appropriate."
