That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 354
There was an undercurrent in Jiangling City. The news that Li Qingping and Xu Ankang had been rescued had already been sent back. The leader Ke Qing was sure that the white-headed young man who rescued them was Mr. Xu from Jiangdu. For a while, people in the Li family mansion were panicked.

We all know that Mr. Xu is the adopted son of Mr. Han Ge, and Mr. Han and Mr. Lan are life and death enemies. His family is backed by the towering tree of Mr. Lan, so this Mr. Xu must have come from a bad person.

As for the methods of Mr. Xu, you can go and see how the Daoist Workshop in Jiangdu changed hands.

Although it has been said that Jiang Qianglong does not suppress the top snakes, but don't forget that the Li family is not covering the sky with one hand in Huzhou. There are Jiangnan Army who have changed their gates beside the couch. If the two sides join forces, how can the Li family be able to resist?Taking a step back, even if the Li family can resist, it will inevitably hurt their vitality and even their muscles and bones.

Among the eight great aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Li family is now ranked seventh. If this incident gets hurt again, they will be directly at the bottom.

No matter how you look at it, it's a situation where you can't make a profit.

Li Qingyu, the head of the Li family, was very worried about this.

After all, the Li family is one of the eight great aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. They are well-informed and know many inside stories that are difficult for ordinary people to know. The Zirong Temple was almost completely destroyed, Du Haichan, the master of the Jiangnan Taoist sect, disappeared, and the core elite of the Jiangnan Taoist sect was wiped out. Since then, the Taoist sect has no place to stand in Jiangdu.

So what about Weiwei Daomen?Didn't suffer from being dumb!

What chilled Li Qingyu even more was the tip of the iceberg revealed in the Jiangdu game. Buddhism, Xuanjiao, Jianzong, Bailian, and Wenxiang, the five major sects joined forces to expel Taoism. Among them.

There are even rumors that the ninth person in the world, the Kunshan sect master Zhaonu also fell and died in this incident, at the hands of the Xuanjiao leader Murong Xuanyin.

If this is true, how should the Li family, who had a close relationship with Zhang Zhaonu, deal with themselves?

If Mr. Xu came here for the matter of Zhang Zhaonu, what should the Li family do?
Undoubtedly, Mr. Xu of the Jiangdu is the person who is recommended by these five great sects to the front. If the Li family has the courage to let Xu Beiyou die in Huzhou, then the five great sects behind him can turn the eight great families in the south of the Yangtze River into the seven great families .

These practice sects are not ordinary Jianghu sects. Each of them has been passed down for thousands of years. In times of peace and prosperity, they will lie dormant, and in troubled times, they will compete in the world. From the Great Chu to the Great Qi, which time the country changed masters without the participation of the sect?Not to mention other sects, just talk about Jianzong, after being suppressed by Taoist sects several times, it is less than one-tenth of its peak, and it can still dominate Jiangdu. At its peak, it even dominated Wei State and monopolized the 36 islands in the East China Sea. In other words, it is not difficult to destroy a family.

That Mr. Xu is not only the adopted son of Mr. Han Ge, he is also the young master of Jianzong. Although the cultivation level of the mistress of Jianzong is similar to that of his own old master, but she has the world's best killing weapon in her hands. Zhu Xian, even Murong Xuanyin would be terrified when encountering him. If he really wanted to make a move, the old man had no chance of winning.

After Li Qingyu hesitated again and again, he finally couldn't help but went to see the family's Dinghai Shenzhen, the old man of the Li family, Li Zijian.

Li Zijian does not usually live in the Li family's mansion, but lives alone in a separate courtyard. After Li Qingyu came out from the back door of Li's mansion, he turned into a small alley, walked for about two sticks of incense, and saw a private house with a deep courtyard. Entering it, all kinds of trees are lush and lush, and there are flowers competing for splendor, and a winding cobblestone path extends through it.

There is a green bamboo reclining chair in a place where the winding path leads to a secluded place, and an old man is lying on it. It is Li Zijian, the real master of the Li family.

Li Zijian raised his hand, and Li Qingyu, who was already grizzled, sat down on a bamboo chair next to him in a dignified manner.

Before he could speak, the old man had already said, "Are you here for the young master of the Sword Sect?"

Li Qingyu nodded and said, "Exactly."

Li Zijian, who had a close relationship with Zhang Zhaonu, sighed softly: "I can't fight, I can't move, this matter is really difficult."

Li Qingyu's face changed slightly, and he said nervously: "Are we going to let that young master of the Sword Sect do whatever he wants in Jiangling City?"

Li Zijian murmured: "That's not the case, after all, it's on our territory, a mere Xu Beiyou can't make any big waves."

"I'm afraid that Yu Kuang will take the opportunity to intervene." Li Qingyu said bitterly: "This Yu Feixiong sees us as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. I heard that Xu Beiyou's visit to Huzhou this time is at his invitation."

Li Zijian's face was gloomy, and he was silent.

Li Qingyu secretly observed his father's face, and tentatively said: "Our Li family has no deep hatred with Xu and Yu. In the final analysis, it is because of being involved in the struggle between the Blue and Han parties. If we can make peace..."

Li Zijian's face changed suddenly, he stared at him sharply, and said word by word: "Do you want to change the court?"

Li Qingyu, who was already the head of the Li family, trembled slightly under the gaze of the old man, and said in a low voice, "I dare not."

Li Zijian's face was so gloomy that Li Qingyu didn't dare to look directly at him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a big taboo to change the family rashly. We can't deal with Yu Kuang and Xu Beiyou. Could it be that we can deal with Lan Xiang's tricks?"

Li Qingyu tried his best to calm down, summoned up his courage and said softly: "If we don't make peace, we will not be able to bear it? The eight great families in the south of the Yangtze River seem to be united, but in fact they are dirty with each other. The current Holy Majesty has never put our other seven families in his eyes, Xie Suqing is most likely behind the scenes for what happened today, if we admit defeat like this, I am afraid that we will fall into Xie Suqing's schemes."

Li Zijian frowned and said, "Li Qingyu, are you really confused by your elders? What is Xie Suqing's plan, all these years you have secretly made friends with Xie Suqing behind my back, and you only want to use Li's family to exchange for a Qingyun Zhishang, and you keep doing it secretly, you still think I am you Daddy?"

Li Qingyu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and said slowly: "Father, it is true that Master Lan is powerful now, but this world is still the Xiao family's world after all, even if Master Lan can survive this downturn safely, How many years can he be in charge of the government, ten years? Twenty years? When Prime Minister Lan retires and His Majesty settles the old accounts, our Li family will not be lucky!"

Li Zijian said coldly: "That's a matter for the future, it's right to focus on the immediate matter first."

Li Qingyu smiled wryly and said nothing.

He was cowardly since he was a child, and he was not loved by his father. If he was not the only son of his father, how could it be his turn to be the head of the Li family? It's just a puppet.

Li Zijian softened his tone a little, "Qing Yu, everyone wants to be a grass on the wall, and they can fall wherever the wind blows, but grass on the wall is not so easy to make? You must know that the wind knows the strength of the grass, and it can also break the strength of the grass. The prime minister governs the temple for a period of sixty years, and there are countless disciples and old officials. One day, the blue prime minister retires. Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor can liquidate most of the temple? Our Li family can't compare with Daomen and Jianzong, and we can't even become His Majesty today. In my eyes, as long as I do what I should do, nothing will happen."

Li Qingyu said in a low voice: "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. When that day comes, His Majesty may not treat the Li family. It is inevitable that other people will want to make trouble and take advantage of the fire."

Li Zijian said softly: "If there is a day, everything will be borne by the father alone."

Li Qingyu remained silent.

Li Zijian took a deep look at his son, and said in a deep voice, "In the final analysis, the Li family will belong to you sooner or later, and Qingyun Jinxiu will also belong to you."
