After the Li family's ancestral home and ancestral temple siege were lifted, Zhang Haishi also received a retreat order from the Qingweizong.

On the Qinglong Festival on the second day of the second month, the Qingweizong fleet fired its cannons again and withdrew from the nearshore one after another. However, it did not return to Qingweizong immediately, but went to Zulong Island for a while and stopped for repair.

There is a poem that says: "Looking to Jieshi in the east to see the sea." As the saying goes, there is a legacy chapter in Jieshi in the east. Zulong Island is also called "Jieshi". When Zulong visited the sea east to seek immortality and seek immortality, he built a stone tablet here to watch the sea platform. Later emperors have visited this place many times, which is why the famous work "Looking to the sea" has been created for thousands of years.

This place is located within the jurisdiction of Zhili. When Xie Zhi asked for help from the Qing Weizong, he presented Zulong Island to the Qing Weizong to show sincerity. After the Qing Weizong took over this place, he converted it into a harbor for the fleet to dock, and set up a fortress and build a city wall, making it a "stop point" that can be attacked and retreated or defended. Zhang Haishi docked the fleet here. If things change, such as the Russo Breaking the Contract or the Li Xuandu negotiations breaking down, and the troops will be at the Bohai Prefecture again for only a moment.

This is the reason why all the immortals have already achieved immortality but have to seek power. In fact, it is no different from the emperor's pursuit of immortality. Both power and immortality are the same. Everyone wants to have the best of both worlds, so they get it and seek it. If a person with a long life is free and free, how can he shake the court and force the Confucian school?

A young man climbed the city of Bohai Mansion and looked at the fragmented city, silently.

His name is Xu Zaijun, the prince of the King of Yan. According to the laws of the Great Wei, the prince is equivalent to the prince.

The King of Yan was getting stronger and stronger. When he was old, he was called a son. In terms of age, he was almost the same as his grandson, so he was inevitably arrogant. Therefore, the prince was famously domineering in the imperial capital and caused many great disasters, but they were all covered by the King of Yan one by one. Moreover, the King of Yan also tried his best to cultivate this son.

Last time, Princess Xuanzhen went to Jingzhou to meet Zhao Lianggeng, who was the governor of Jingchu at that time, and discussed the matter of going to Beijing. Among the people who accompanied him, in addition to the eunuch in charge of the imperial horses, there was the prince of the King of Yan. Lou Xinqing went to Zhongnan Mountain to meet Li Xuandu under the order of the Queen Mother, and Xu Zaijun also accompanied him.

At that time, Xie Zhi once suspected that King Yan had secretly colluded with the Confucian sect, which proved later that Xie Zhi's guess was correct. King Yan had indeed turned to the Confucian sect long ago. After Xie Zhi fell, King Jin and King Shu died. King Tang barely saved his life under the protection of the Taoist sect, but became a commoner. Only King Yan was safe and sound and was still the prince's honor. Moreover, his son Xu Zaijun was able to serve as the governor of Zhili, responsible for guarding the imperial capital.

However, Xu Zaijun's luck was really bad, and he was suspected of having a conflict with Li Xuandu. He followed Princess Xuanzhen to Jiangnan and met Li Xuandu and the palace official on the way. He followed Lou Xinqing and Li Xuandu to negotiate, but the negotiations broke down. This time he had just served as the governor of Zhili, but the result was that the Qingweizong fleet bombarded the Bohai Mansion.

Xu Zaijun reached out and pressed a fairly intact battlement, looking at the last group of retreating Qingweizong warships, feeling both happy and lost. Of course, Qingweizong finally withdrew his troops. The Bohai Mansion was not broken, at least his position as governor was saved. Whether from his personal selfish perspective or from the public attitude of the court, it was a good thing and worthy of happiness.

The reason for his loss is that in the long run, the court has been defeated regardless of whether the Qing Weizong withdraws its troops. Perhaps the imperial army still has the power to fight on land, but at sea, it can only sit and wait for death without any resistance.

As everyone knows, the Li family married together, and the head of the Li family married the only daughter of the head of the Qin family. The two families are already in fact offensive and defensive alliances. If the two families advance together on land and water, knock on the gates from land, cut off the canal transport along the way, and then advance from the inland river to force the imperial capital, how can the court resist?

Today's Qin and Li families are like another golden tent. Of course, they are more polite than the barbaric golden tent. They do not force the people to recruit people, but attract the people to take the initiative to defect, do not rob, kill, set fire, but do trade in seas, which makes wealthy merchants from all over the country secretly collude with enemies for the sake of money. Xu Zaijun is not a useless fool, but is even stronger than Emperor Tianbao in his political experience. He keenly realized that the Qin and Li families are much smarter than the gold tents of the past and are much more dangerous.

It is said that the barbarians have no fortune for a hundred years. The golden tent is strong for a while and they briefly enter the Central Plains and are quickly driven out of the Central Plains. However, the Qin family and the Li family are not foreign tribes, but their own people. They have such clever means. It is definitely much easier for them to win the world than the golden tent. If they really win the world, even if they are Confucians, it will be difficult to turn over.

Xu Zaijun couldn't help but sigh. Even though he understood, he had no good solutions, and it was hard to return because of the accumulation of hardships. Now he can only hope for the Confucian masters to see if they can rejuvenate their youth.

What he can do now is to clean up the mess, appease the gentry in the city, and recruit the people to repair the city walls. As for the navy, it will be gone. Anyway, he is not a match for the Qingweizong, and then report it to the court.

On the other hand, the preemptive move of the Confucian clan also forced Li Xuan to change his plan. He originally planned to complete the ups and downs of the Weizong clan in Qing Dynasty, remove some borers and clean up old cases. However, as the two families started a war, this plan, along with his ceremony of promotion, had to be postponed.

Li Xuandu left the ancestral home of the Beihai Prefecture on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and visited the Donghua Sect in Taiqing Mountain on the 16th day of the first lunar month. He had a long talk with the sect leader of the Donghua Sect, Zhenren, and met his old friend Nan Kezi. Then on the 17th day of the first lunar month, he returned to Penglai Island of the Qingwei Sect and lived in the Eight Scenery Villa.

Since then, the Bajing Villa once again became the core of the Qingwei Sect, and Jingxin Hall has become the main place for high-level discussions in the Qingwei Sect. The orders to dispatch fleets to bombard the Bohai Mansion were issued here.

This also made many old masters of Qingwei Sect secretly sigh. Once upon a time, they were still stating their guilt for Li Xuandu in Jingxin Hall, but now Li Xuandu is presided over the discussion in Jingxin Hall.

After Li Feiyan and Li Taiyi returned to Penglai Island, they went directly to Jingxin Hall and reported their proposals to Li Xuandu.

After Li Xuandu finished listening, he asked Lu Yanbing to send a message to the Qi Palace and make corresponding preparations.

As for why Li Feiyan didn’t choose Dongyue, it was like the Confucian Sect would not choose Taiqing Mountain. Dongyue is the territory of the Confucian Sect, Taiqing Mountain is the territory of the Dao Sect, and only a relatively neutral Qixia Mountain is an acceptable choice for both sides.

In addition, the peace talks between Confucians were forced to do so. When things were in a hurry, they might not be able to do anything in Qixia Mountain. If they really wanted to have peace talks, they would not have to worry about falling into the local disadvantages of the Dazhen Mansion or the Imperial Capital.

Li Xuandu said slowly, "The Nine Earths Chapter says: 'Gathering the three armies and taking risks to the general's affairs.' When things develop to this point, we should not have any luck. The Confucian and Taoist families are bound to fight in one battle, and there is no other way. This is the most urgent matter, so I asked Bingyan to suppress those bad things again, and push back other things."

Li Feiyan and Li Taiyi knew very well that those bad things refer to the trends within the Qingweizong and the Li family. There are definitely more than one such person, Li Jinfeng and Li Daohong, but they are just a great enemy, so I don’t care about them for the time being.

Li Xuandu continued: "Taigong's "Six Strategies" also says: 'Don't underestimate the enemy with the masses, do not take the order as the most important and will die, do not be a bitch with the noble person, do not disobey the masses with the only view, do not take the argument as inevitable.' We cannot regard 'should' as inevitable. Things will not develop as we imagined. I do not want to be arbitrary in major matters related to life and death. In this way, we will invite everyone here. We will discuss this matter well, take all the possibilities into consideration, and arrange them all."

Mrs. Li took the order together and left.

Li Xuandu sat alone in the main seat of Jingxin Hall, and Li Feiyan sat in his lower seat and asked, "Zifu, do you think this peace talks..."

"Peace discussion." Li Xuandu sneered, "If you really want to discuss peace, there should be a result after Yuxu's sword fighting, but we all saw that the Yuxu sword fighting has just ended, and there was a change in the Dazhen Mansion. It seemed that our Taoist sect was in an internal strife, but if there was no Confucian sect behind the push, who would believe it? We have no grievances with the great priest Wang Nanting of the Tianxin Academy. Why did he appear in the Dazhen Mansion? The Confucian sect saw it very clearly that the Confucian sect is weakening and the Taoist sect is rising. This is their last chance to curb us. If you miss it, it will be difficult to recover, so they must give it a try."

Li Feiyan nodded: "I understand."

Li Xuandu said: "I have asked my senior brother to withdraw his troops, but the fleet will be moored on Shihuangdao for the time being. As long as the situation changes, you can enter Bohai Mansion again."

Li Feiyan said: "From Huang Shiyuan's attitude, it can be seen that the Confucian people are a little scared. They are afraid that Liaodong will take this opportunity to go south. When the troops arrive at the imperial capital, the world will be shaken. All the Confucian people will be blamed."

Li Xuandu sighed: "The problem now is Old Man Long, not Dan Taiyun. There are only two earth immortals left in the Taoist sect and only one Confucian sect. In terms of realm cultivation, Old Man Long should be superior to me. Most of them have entered the wonderful realm of the Nascent Soul. People from the Confucian sect went to the saint's mansion to ask for immortal things, which may only be prepared for Old Man Long. If both sides hold immortal things, then whether they can win under the premise that I am the only one, is an unknown."

Li Feiyan understood very well that Li Xuan was not just a humble person.

A large part of the reason why Li Xuandu was able to rise rapidly was that as the older generation ascended one after another, the resources of the Taoist sect gradually gathered above Li Xuandu. Now the Confucian sect has begun to act like this, converging all the resources of the Confucian sect on Old Man Long.

Li Feiyan asked: "Can you borrow two immortal objects from Zhengyi Sect?"
