Taiping Inn

Li Xuan immediately understood that Pei Yu had arrived and ordered: "Please come in and stay in the front hall."

"Yes." The disciple of Taiping Sect outside the sect responded and turned around and left.

Li Xuandu put the book in his hand back to its original place, got up and walked towards the front hall.

When he arrived at the front hall, Pei Yu was sitting in the guest seat, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly. Seeing Li Xuandu coming in, he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, and saluted respectfully, "I have seen benefactor, I heard that my benefactor arrived at Longmen Mansion and came to visit me. I also prepared a gift. Although I was a great kindness and I dare not thank me, it was my intention. I would like to accept it with slightest laughter."

Li Xuan kept his hand and signaled Pei Yu not to be too polite, and also signaled the disciples of Taiping Sect standing beside him to retreat.

Both of them took their seats, and Li Xuan set up a soundproof ban, and then asked, "Did you come on your own initiative? Or did the Confucian Sect ask you to come?"

Pei Yu said seriously: "I originally wanted to come back in a few days, but the high-ranking priest Wen Ren hurriedly found me and asked me to come to see the gentleman immediately."

Li Xuandu laughed, "In today's battle, the Confucian Sect will be greatly damaged. They are anxious."

Pei Yu heard the subtle voice of Li Xuandu, and when he thought of the observatory, he had confirmed his guess, and couldn't help but look happy, "In this way, it's a victory for the Taoist sect."

"Don't be too happy too early." Li Xuandu was happy when he saw him and poured cold water on him. "It's just the first round. It's hard to completely overwhelm the Confucian school."

Pei Yu nodded, "I understand."

Li Xuandu asked, "What do Wen Ren wants to know?"

Pei Yu said respectfully: "He wants to know what the sir will do next."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "You can tell him this, but you can't tell him all at once."

Pei Yu was stunned, "Sir, please give me advice."

Li Xuandu said: "Wen Ren is not a fool, nor am I a fool. If you easily get what he wants to know from me, he will become suspicious, either doubting your identity or doubting the truth or falsehood of this news. Then I doubt whether you have been used by me in reverse. Whether you are doubting your identity or I am using it, the result is the same, which we don’t want to see, so you have to come from me bit by bit Obtain information, one point today, one point tomorrow, sometimes you will get nothing, and the news also goes from shallow to deep. As time goes by, my trust in you increases, and the information you can obtain gradually deepens. In this way, Wen Ren I will believe that this is the result of your efforts, not that I will reveal it to you on purpose.”

Pei Yu's face turned solemn and said, "I understand."

"In addition, we don't know how much information the Confucian Sect knows, so Wen Ren is likely to use the information he already has to deceive you. You have to be careful." Li Xuandu said in a deep thought, "When you meet Wen Ren, you must use it." Reply to the identity of Confucian disciples and completely forget your other identity. You must think about everything from the perspective of Confucian disciples, especially your reactions, and you must pay special attention to some things. For example, you do not know some in the eyes of others. But in fact, you should be surprised when you hear what you already know. You should understand these things."

"Yes." Pei Yu nodded seriously.

Li Xuandu thought about it again, stood up and said, "Follow me."

Pei Yu hurriedly got up and followed Li Xuandu.

The two of them came to the study room, and Li Xuan both signaled Pei Yu to sit down, and then said, "If Wen Ren asked about your gains from this trip, you said you followed me into my study room and accidentally saw my desk placed on my book. Writing a book about the Western Regions. If he continues to ask questions in depth, you pretend to be meditative and memorable, saying that it seems to be related to Kunlun."

Pei Yu nodded and wrote down, and asked again, "Is that enough?"

Li Xuandu explained: "This is related to a agreement between the Taoist sect and the Confucian sect. It was proposed by the hermits of the Confucian sect. You don't need to know who the hermits are for the time being, you just need to know the difference between the hermits and the high priest. Wuduo, but he was not a member of the same person, but two factions. Before the incident, the high priests were not aware of the sudden agreement made by the hermits. "

Pei Yu's eyes lit up, "I understand, this is to guide the high priests and hermits to suspicion."

"It's almost the same." Li Xuandu nodded in agreement, "I'm sure the other two high-ranking priests will tell Wen Ren about the process. After Wen Ren received your news, he will definitely associate these two things together, so he I will ask the hermit about Kunlun in the Western Regions. If the hermit gives him a clear answer, there is nothing to say, just think we have a trick of leisure. But if the hermit does not give him a clear answer, then we can do it Some articles.”

Pei Yu remembered it all and vaguely realized that the water of the Confucian Sect was far deeper than he had imagined, but the senior figures on the Dao Sect obviously knew this very well.

Li Xuandu sat behind the desk, leaned back on the back of the chair, becoming relaxed, "Is there anything else? We can say something irrelevant now, after all, you are here to visit me in name, so it is impossible to come and go In a hurry, if there are any difficulties in the path to cultivation, I should be able to answer it."

"This..." Pei Yu blushed, "I recently met a Su Jijiu in the Vientiane Academy. I heard that Su Jijiu is old friends with his husband and his master's wife."

Li Xuan was stunned. Unexpectedly, Pei Yu would suddenly mention Su Lianrong and replied, "It's true that he has some friendship."

Pei Yu hesitated and said, "I...I like her."1.com

The moment Pei Yu mentioned Su Lianrong, Li Xuan had already guessed this possibility, so when he said it in person, Li Xuan was not surprised, but joked: "You don't love Shuning." Is it? "

Pei Yu's face turned redder, "I had never seen Miss Zhou at that time, it was just a joke. Besides, Miss Zhou and Brother Shen are now a pair made of heaven and earth. A gentleman does not win the favor of others. .”

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "But everyone Su is much older than you."

Pei Yu shook her head and said, "This is nothing, she hasn't gotten married."

"Where is her origin?" Li Xuandu asked again, "She is not a lady of a noble family and has no support. She was once taken as an outdoor room by the King of Jin. You may not care, but the Pei family will not care."

This is indeed a heart-wrenching question, and Pei Yu's troubles are also here, otherwise he would not have spoken about it today.

Pei Yu showed a look of depression, "Yes."

Li Xuandu said again: "Young man's character cannot last long. If you like her today, you may not like her tomorrow. So don't say anything that can give up the family for her sake. An experienced woman like her will not believe it, nor will she. Support. And breaking with the family is a big deal. You can break for your ideas and ambitions, because that is irreconcilable, but in the relationship between men and women, I don’t think it is necessary to do so. This kind of thing can be reconciled, and it is also If you have room for maneuver, the key lies in your determination and your ability. If you are the head of the Pei family, you can do whatever you want. If you are just an ordinary student of the Pei family, then you must abide by the family rules. ”

Pei Yu thoughtfully said, "Just like the sir, who is a big man, so you can marry Miss Qin. No one will ignorantly say the distinction between good and evil."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's sometimes the truth is." Li Xuandu said slowly, "The Longmen Mansion under our feet was named Shendu in the time of the empress. The empress was once the concubine of Emperor Taizong, but Gaozong The emperor made her the queen again. After Emperor Gaozong died, she ascended the throne and became emperor. A woman married her father and son. Is her reputation righteous? Her reputation wrong. Is Yan Shun? Yan Shun. Why? Because of the emperor's honor, The authority is so great that no one can compare to, and all voices of opposition will be suppressed."

Pei Yu was silent for a long time and nodded, "I understand with Mr. Lau's teachings."

Li Xuandu said: "I don't know more about men and women than you. If Song Zheng was sitting here, maybe he could give good advice."

Pei Yu smiled bitterly. Of course he had heard of Song Zheng's famous reputation. Fengli is really romantic, but he can't envy him, let alone learn it.

Li Xuan didn't want to continue this topic anymore, so he got up and picked up a box of books from the bookshelf. It was "Taiping Guangji" compiled, printed and published by Taiping Sect. It was naturally very important to be placed in the study of the sect leader. Not bad.

Li Xuandu said, "Since you brought a gift, I will give you a gift, so I will give you this Jin version of "Taiping Guangji". The value is still second, the key is that there are not many passing on the world, and the world's first People who love books should consider it to enrich their collection of books."

Pei Yu took it with both hands respectfully.

This gift is very consistent with the two's current superficial identity relationship. After all, Pei Yu came to visit her benefactor as a disciple of the Confucian sect, and Li Xuan could not give back the gift of too expensive items.

Li Xuandu sent Pei Yu out of the study, waved to a disciple of Taiping Sect who was in charge of the Qingping Garden, and ordered: "Send Mr. Pei for me."

A disciple of Taiping Sect replied, "Yes."

After Pei Yu left, Qin Su came over and whispered to Li Xuandu: "Everyone Su just wrote to me and said... Pei Yu is a secret spy of the Confucian Sect, let you be careful."

Li Xuandu laughed and said, "Pei Yu has a bad intention, and everyone in Su saw the flaws. However, his true identity was not revealed, and he still knew the importance."

Qin Su heard that Li Xuan had something in his words and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This kid Pei Yu fell in love with everyone in Su." Li Xuan didn't hide it, "But I have reminded him, don't worry too much."

Qin Su was a little surprised and surprised, "Pei Yu? Everyone Su? How old is he?"

"How old is it?" Li Xuan was very calm. "He can already get married and have children at this age. To be honest, the two of us who are only engaged at the same age are aliens."

Qin Su said unconvincedly: "Aren't the second senior brother older?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "So many people call him the 'East Sea Monster' behind his back."

Qin Su was speechless.

Li Xuan suppressed his smile and said, "I will prepare for the Taoist conference with three masters of the sect recently, and I may not be able to take care of the affairs of the inn."

Qin Su heard Xian's intentions and nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
