Mochizuki Lake.
The sunlight was shining brightly on Pingya Island, and the shadow of the tower was cast on the steps, climbing up the steps layer by layer, Kong Guxi knelt in front of the palace door, and the monks on the left and right were in a hurry, and no one paid attention to him.
The Xuanyue Mountain Gate formation was easily broken, the ancestral land was lost, Shanji fell, Fu En who broke through the seclusion died violently, and the aura of the Gen Earth soared to the sky, Ye Hui personally appeared at the Xuanyue Mountain Gate, the wilderness shook, and the Kong family all beat their chests and stomped their feet.
Xuan Yue was good to the monks under his rule, and the infiltration and education were sufficient, and the 500,000 people of his family and in-laws who migrated wept, and their wails were all over the field, reaching the sky.
Xuan Yue could almost declare his demise, Kong Guxi had already prepared and was not surprised, although he was extremely sad, he still set out to stabilize the situation.
Now he left the wilderness alone and hurried to meet him, for only one reason:
Zhaojing Zhenren Li Ximing has not appeared in April, while Ye Hui Zhenren has been safe and sound, appearing in Shanji County several times.
What's even more fatal is that according to the rumors between the immortal sects of the family, Li Ximing, the real person of Zhaojing, was killed by Ye Hui and a certain real person, and I don't know if he fell, at least he was seriously injured in the East China Sea.
Kong Guxi heard that his legs were weak, and he heard that the northern Funan boundary had been attacked, and he happened to have another reason in his hand, so he came to the continent to meet Li Jiangqian.
The more Kong Guxi looked, the more shocked he became, and Kong Qiuyan behind him didn't dare to raise his head, just kneeling honestly.
After a while, a person above gave an order:
"Master Kong, young master, please meet me."
Kong Guxi hurriedly lifted his robe and ran up quickly, passing through two palace doors, and saw the young man in the dark red robe sitting on the main seat, it was Li Jiangqian, who is now the head of the house, and there was a woman standing beside her, wearing a long cloud satin dress, it was Li Quewan.
Li Jiangqian has been sitting in this hall sleeplessly for five days, not only him, but also the Li family's current high-level movements, the bottom is silent like a cicada, unceremoniously, the entire Li family is as silent as ice.
The current situation is really embarrassing, Kong Guxi is not the Xuanyue Sect Master back then, everyone avoids him, no one pays attention to him, and if there is no news, the situation cannot be seen clearly, and they have already smelled unusual smells, let alone others.
Although the other party was just practicing qi, Kong Guxi still greeted him respectfully:
"I have seen the young master."
"Master Kong is polite."
Li Jiangqian didn't seem to be panicked, and responded calmly, asking:
"Do you have anything important, sir?"
Seeing Li Jiangqian's peaceful appearance, Kong Guxi's heart was also a little more settled, this trip was just to meet the Li family and Li Jiangqian, who was in charge of the family, so that he could have a bottom of his own situation, and he didn't dare to ask more, and said respectfully:
"I was originally guarding in the wilderness, and I never thought of fighting a group of people from the east, claiming to be monks from Chijiao Island, who wanted to come to collect energy, but I didn't dare to stop them... Let's ask the young master first."
Li Jiangqian grabbed his sleeves calmly and said in a low voice:
"What are you doing?"
Kong Guxi replied:
"The Guo family said that they wanted to collect the sorrow of the people, the other side of Shanji County... Ye Hui Zhenren has agreed, there are still 500,000 people in my wilderness, all of whom are loyal believers.
"It's coming so fast..."
Li Jiangqian was silent for a moment.
The relationship between the Li family and Chijiao Island is extremely tense, although they have not met at the Zifu level, but there have always been a lot of grievances below.
If Li Ximing really stayed at home, it wouldn't be a big deal to wave his hand to drive Chijiao out... I'm afraid that now that Li Ximing is not here, Duxian Dao colluded with Chijiao Island and used this matter as an excuse to intervene on the east coast...
"The hand between the real person of Duxian Dao Ye Hui and his own real person, I am afraid that I can be sure that my real person is not on the lake, so this is trouble..."
He nodded and said:
"I understand, please wait first, and I will ask the elders before replying to the lord."
Kong Guxi nodded quickly and retreated in fear, there were some things that didn't need to be asked, as long as he came and went, the atmosphere of the whole situation could already understand too many things.
Waiting for this person to leave, the large formation in the palace was closed, Li Jiangqian sat down a little tiredly, and said in a low voice:
"Wan'er, I understand that it is important for you to practice skills, calling you out this time is really too big."
Li Que Wan was slightly uneasy and asked:
"Real people..."
"I really haven't returned for several months."
Li Jiangqian rubbed his wrist and said:
"It's a trivial matter that I haven't returned for several months, but Duxian Dao's reaction is amazing, Situ Mo has climbed over the mountain again, eyeing Fu Nan, Duxian Dao has already cleaned up Shanji County, and the east bank is becoming more and more shaken."
"Ming Gong, Cheng? The two elders went to Funan, Ding Weiyu and others went to the east bank, and my father went to retreat, so once they started, Wilderness and Funan could only keep one."
Li Que Wan said:
"What the elders mean..."
"Protect the south."
Li Jiangqian's eyes were heavy and he replied:
"In my opinion, when Duxian goes south, Ziyanmen and Jianmen cannot sit idly by, Shanji County is easy to attack and not easy to defend for Duxian, and it cannot last long.
"And the wilderness is lost, the Xiao family is also uncomfortable, Funan is my family's Funan, but the wilderness is not my family's wilderness, the wilderness is lost and easy to harvest, and Funan is difficult to save."
Li Que Wan nodded in agreement and said worriedly:
"But about Chijiao Island..."
She paused, glanced at Li Jiangqian, hesitated to speak, and continued:
"Now that the Purple Mansion and the Immortal Gate know that something happened to my family, they can still maintain peace on the surface, but taking a step back, everyone inside and outside knows that something happened to my family... Since my brother has prepared a countermeasure, the wilderness can be released, and sooner or later others will see the truth."
Li Jiangqian exhaled and replied:
"Kong Guxi doesn't make trouble at all, he doesn't shed a single tear, he is too familiar, if he changes to a stupid master to make a fuss, my family just has a reason to throw away the wilderness and let him rebuild Xuanyue, standing next to him, the wilderness was not lost from my hands in person, and it will be seen later that the truth and falsehood will be seen..."
Li Jiangqian thought for a while, called someone up, and ordered:
"Go and make it clear to Kong Guxi that Chijiao doesn't want to think about my family's territory, and if you take any grievances and go back to his overseas rule to collect, there are too many to use, so why come to my house."
The man retreated, and Li Jiangqian pulled out the letter, turned his head and frowned, looking a little impatient, and said:
"I'll write to Jiangxia now, the wilderness can be lost, and the people of Xuanyue can just return... Let this kid save my life, if I die at the hands of Duxian and Chijiao, I, as a brother, will avenge him."
Li Que Wan nodded silently, and saw another person coming up from below, coming out of the shadows like the wind, wearing a pitch-black vestment, wearing black jade around his waist, with a solemn expression, Li Jiangqian hurriedly took a step back and said respectfully:
"Uncle."
Li Chenghuai nodded and replied:
"I went to the north, and Duxiandao made a move and sent Wang He to integrate the power of the Wang family in Jiangbei."
The Wang family of Funan is involved in their own layout in the northern Xiaomu Mountain, and it is also related to the stability of the south.
"How's it going? Now my family is in some trouble, Wang Quhuan is retreating on the lake again, and the head of the Wang family in Funan is not here, so I am afraid I can't resist Wang He's majesty..."
Li Chenghuai shook his head unexpectedly and replied:
"Wang's principal... It was Wang Quyu's younger brother Wang Quyu, who tried his best to keep Wang He out of the house, resolutely disappeared, and set off from home with a group of clansmen to meet your brother.
Li Jiangqian nodded lightly, wandered in the seat twice, and after hearing the first good news for so long, Li Chenghuai also looked a little satisfied, and only replied:
"I thought that in trouble, Funan was the first to be unstable... After all, the Wang family still has more than half of the clan and the main vein is in Duxian, and now they have sent charcoal in the snow and stabilized Funan..."
"Although I still can't escape the suspicion of betting on both sides, Wang's performance is indeed beneficial, and when things pass, I should be rewarded."
Li Jiangqian nodded:
"The Wang family is already deeply rooted in Jiangbei, and he has the capital to bet, his brother is in retreat on the lake, so naturally he can't see Wang He, I can only say that Wang Quyu has a good control over his own lineage."
Li Chenghuai sighed, Li Jiangqian told the matter of Chijiao Island, Li Chenghuai finally had a good mood again, and replied:
"The monks of Chijiao are not easy to deal with, and they are the most vicious, so should we ask for advice? Brother."
……
East Bank.
The dense forest is located in the center of the east bank, all the way east, and at the junction of the wilderness and the east bank, there is a mountain, not very grand, but there are many buildings, and the cultivators come in and out, which is quite lively.
In the main hall at the top of the mountain, the strong man with golden eyes breathed out and stood up, the sky was flowing, and he stepped down, and several henchmen immediately leaned over and said respectfully:
"Third Young Master!"
Li Jiangxia raised her chin and said:
"How long has it been?"
"My lord, two months have passed."
Li Jiangxia's cultivation talent is extremely high, second only to his brother Li Jiangqian in the family, and his resources are also first-class, every time he practices, he has never worried about the bottleneck of cultivation, only the worries of not having a solid cultivation and not having enough techniques, it took two months to break through the fifth layer of qi training, and there is still a taste of ease, only Shen Shen asked:
"Have you ever seen a real person?"
He commanded the families on the East Coast, he was generous and hearty, and naturally gathered a group of confidants, including a group of small officials on the East Coast, who came to meet him when they got the news.
Li Jiangxia's face suddenly became ugly, and everyone told the recent news, and their eyelids jumped when they heard it, and asked again:
"Where are the adults guarding?"
A group of monks bowed their heads and hesitated, and a guest minister came up from it, who seemed to be from the wilderness, and his cultivation in the early stages of qi training was also a new one in recent years.
This person looked a little clever and said with a smile:
"Young master, I got news from Kong Guxi at home, Ming Gong, Cheng? Both adults are in the southern land boundary."
Li Jiangxia raised her eyes after hearing this, paid attention to this person, looked around, and waved her sleeves and said:
"They all go their own way, and there is no need for so many people..."
He paused and said with a smile:
"Fu Keqing stays."
The group hurriedly retreated, leaving only a few confidants in the palace, just as Yu Tingwei came up with a letter from His Highness, Li Jiangxia opened and read it while saying:
"You're well-informed."
He glanced at the letter in his hand twice, and saw that his relatives were indeed in Funan, and immediately understood in his heart:
"Chijiao Island also intervened... Li Jiangqian is going to lose the wilderness... It is not the best policy, it is easy for the monks of Xuanyue Sect to move away, but Li Jiangqian, Li Jiangqian... Have you thought of the five hundred thousand people in the wilderness?'
"Which of Chijiao Island and Duxian Dao is not with the intention of making a fortune, once you let it go, the two will not play any tricks for you to enrich the mountains and rivers by relocating immigrants... Eat them all and wipe them all away and take them away!"
He was irritable in his heart, waved his hand to let Yu Tingwei retreat, this rich guest Qing was praised, he was proud, took a step forward, seeing that he was surrounded by Li Jiangxia's confidants, he bowed his hands and whispered:
"Young master, Duxian Dao is eyeing the tiger, and he will definitely come east, the wilderness and the east coast have been favored by the young master over the years, they are all arms, and they should not be lost... I hope the young master will prepare early."
Li Jiangxia put his hands on his back and asked:
"How to prepare?"
Fu Keqing whispered:
"Wait for the Duxian Dao to attack, first release a few strongholds on the bank, the enemy touches the south, divide the troops to the second young master's end, reduce the pressure, and wait until the Xuanyue formations can't stop the Duxian, it is better to give up the wilderness and retreat to the east bank.
Li Jiangxia heard it clearly, and immediately knew what he meant, glanced at it, and spoke:
"On the contrary, it was the adults who came to save the east bank, and Funan was attacked by the gold and the immortals, and the back road was cut off by the monks who crossed the river.
Fu Keqing smiled and said nothing, but saw Li Jiangxia put away the letter and looked up at him, those golden eyes were shining, and while raising his feet, he showed his black iron and gold patterned boots, which made Fu Keqing stunned:
"Young master, this is..."
"Bang!"
He only felt a strong force hit him, his chest was kicked hard, and a sound of bones cracking was heard, and the whole person flew out of thin air, smashed into the pillar with a rumble, rolled and broke several pillars, and vomited blood.
"Poof!"
He took a step forward, raised his hand, and pulled out the sword in the hand of his confidant beside him with a "clang".
"'s thing... Brothers fight and make trouble on weekdays, and it is also Li who has taken away Li's power... What kind of thing are you? Dare to come here to sow discord and do this trick of eating inside and out?!"
Fu Keqing didn't know where Li Jiangxia got so much strength, he felt his chest burning, opened his eyes, and looked over with a pair of golden eyes on the opposite side.
"Young master!"
Li Jiangxia put the sword on his neck, and the confidant on the side knew that this person was dead, but he didn't know that he was doing such a crime, so he hurriedly interceded and said in a low voice:
"After all, Fu's surname is Xuanyue's foreign surname, and when this is critical... It's not appropriate..."
"Gendake..."
Li Jiangxia paused, picked up his collar, and lifted him up with one hand, the young man was already strong, Fu Keqing was in a cold sweat in pain, but he heard the young man in front of him say coldly:
"Your words fall here, Xuanyue and his subordinates will kneel in Pingyazhou, and Kong Guxi will peel off your skin to protect his ancestral Taoism!"
