Taiping Inn

In the end, Li Xuandu decided on the titles of eighteen people, namely the highest five city co-lords, five city lords and twelve building owners, all of which were nicknamed after the names of the ci tunes.

Li Xuandu also discussed some matters with the five people, calling this behavior of gathering together through the "Xiao Zi Mansion" the Zifu meeting. Considering that the opening and closing of the "Xiao Zi Mansion" and the selection of who to enter the "Xiao Zi Mansion" are all under the control of Li Xuandu, the person holding the talisman has only the choice of refusal or agreement. Li Xuandu also divided the meeting into small and large meetings. The so-called "large meeting" is naturally the meeting of the five city lords and the twelve building owners, while the "small meeting" refers to the six people within the inn. At the same time, Li Xuandu also gave the five city lords relevant authority, that is, they can bring up to three subordinates into the "Xiao Zi Mansion" through the "Five Cities" talisman to attend the meeting, answer the questions of the six people, or report relevant situations to the six people.

Therefore, Li Xuandu initially determined the relationship between Taiping Inn and Qingping Society, that is, Qingping Society includes Taiping Inn, Taiping Inn is part of Qingping Society, and belongs to the direct core of Qingping Society. Qingping Society is a loose secret alliance, and members of Qingping Society are guests in the inn.

According to Li Xuandu's original idea, Taiping Inn and Qingping Society are two lines that do not intersect each other. But later, Shi Wuyue's few unintentional words reminded him that he established Taiping Inn, and in the end, the inn was not entrusted with his own efforts. It's like building a high-rise building. Li Xuandu alone can't build a high-rise building on flat ground. There must be other people's efforts. The reason why Li Xuandu wants to build a high-rise building is to prepare for a Hongmen Banquet. After the Hongmen Banquet is over, Li Xuandu will fulfill his long-cherished wish and destroy the high-rise building. What do other people who build the building think? So destroying the building is absolutely not feasible. In other words, if the world is really at peace, Li Xuan can decide the direction of the inn, but he cannot decide the life and death of the inn. At most, he can abdicate and let others take over, but he cannot destroy the inn. Then how the inn can continue to survive has become an unavoidable problem.

Should Taiping Inn become a secret organization in the rivers and lakes, stirring up trouble in secret? Or should it simply open up a sect and pass on the incense? Li Xuandu is more inclined to the latter. Since a sect is to be established, it is inevitable that Taiping Inn and Qingpinghui will merge into one place, and it is bound to distinguish the size and height. The appearance of "Xiao Zifu" provides Li Xuandu with an idea. The so-called "friends" include friends, but friends do not include friends. Li Xuandu decided to apply this idea. Qingpinghui is an alliance, Taiping Inn is a force among many alliances, and Taiping Inn does not include Qingpinghui. It just regards people in Qingpinghui as guests in the inn, not people inside the inn.

In addition, Li Xuandu also set the time for major and minor discussions. If there are no unexpected circumstances, major discussions will be held once a month and minor discussions will be held once every ten days. If it is not suitable to enter the "Little Purple Mansion" with divine thoughts, the previous flying sword communication method can still be used. Calculating the time carefully, July 21st is the day when Yan Feiqing and Su Yun'an get married. It was the next day when the earth master left. Li Xuandu left Zhengyi Sect on July 23rd and took more than ten days to rush to Taiping Sect. It was already August. He waited for seven days in Taiping Sect before the enthronement ceremony was held. Now it is already mid-August. Li Xuandu thought of many other things, so he postponed it until September to officially implement it.

After discussing many things, Li Xuandu said: "Okay, let's stop here today. If you have other things you want to see me, just activate the talisman in your hand and I will receive the message."

The five people nodded and their figures gradually faded away.

After everyone left, Li Xuandu closed the door of the Qibao Palace and disappeared from the Qibao Terrace.

Li Xuandu's eyes first darkened, then the broken picture reassembled, and then brightened. He was still in the study of Tianshui Pavilion. A ray of morning sunlight shone in obliquely, and Qin Su was not far away from him.

Before Li Xuandu could speak, Qin Su said, "Before entering the 'Little Purple Mansion', I looked at the clepsydra on purpose. After entering the 'Little Purple Mansion', I counted silently in my mind. I just compared the two. Although I was a little new, the difference was not big. It should be that my counting was slightly off. From this, it can be concluded that the time in the 'Little Purple Mansion' is the same as the time in the world."

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "With such things, our Taiping Inn can let go and develop manpower. In another year or so, we can start to arrange for the return to the Imperial Capital."

Qin Su said, "I have sent people to deposit the remaining silver and money in the accounts of Taiping Money House and several other major bill houses, and they can be used at any time."

Li Xuandu softened his tone: "Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Su smiled Said: "Since this is our inn, it's all for ourselves, why talk about hard work?"

Li Xuandu shook his head: "It's different. You were originally an idle hermit, free and easy in the mountains and rivers. If you hadn't met me, you wouldn't have been involved in the world."

Qin Su said softly: "It is said that every man has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of the world. I am in a high position, but I just indulge in the mountains and rivers. What's the difference between me and those scholars who sit and talk about it all day but don't do anything? From this point of view, it was Zifu who pulled me back to the right path. Even if we don't talk about these great righteousness in the world, just talking about our own affairs, my father only has me as his daughter, gave birth to me and raised me, and gave me fine clothes and food and honor and dignity. It is reasonable that I should do something for the family, share my father's worries, and relieve his labor."

Li Xuandu said: "It seems that this is the red near the red."

Qin Su smiled and said, "Where are you, a princess who is boasting about selling melons?"

Li Xuandu said, "Because no one praises me, I have to boast."

Qin Su and Li Xuan have been together for a long time and have also touched Li Xuandu's routine. If he goes to pick him up, he will probably take advantage of his words again, so he deliberately does not pick him up. , and then said, "Now that you have become the leader of Taiping Sect, what are you going to do next?"

Li Xuan sighed and said, "You have seen it in the Qinglong Palace. Even my master and senior brother have agreed with this matter. A battle between good and evil is inevitable. Taiping Sect naturally needs to mobilize personnel and prepare in advance. ”

Qin Su couldn't hide his worries: "But the thirty-two peaks of Beim Mountain are the location of Yin-Yang Sect and Zaoge Sect. The two sects have been operating here for many years. Even if they have gathered the power of the right path, there are five sects in Liaodong who come from the side to support them. It is never easy to attack it."

Li Xuandu said: "The arrow is on the string and you have to be fired. Whether it is difficult or not is something that you will only consider when you consider the pros and cons. Since you have made a decision, the only thing you should consider is how to attack this one."

Qin Su asked again: "Who are you planning to take in Taiping Sect?"

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "If I add me, then the Taiping Sect is now the four great masters of the Heavenly Realm. I plan to send two great masters of the Heavenly Realm to respond to this matter. I was the first master of the sect, but my prestige was not established. , I must lead by example, so I must go there. As for the other person, I plan to ask Shen Yuanzhong to let me go with me."

Qin Su was shocked: "Do you want to get rid of him by this matter?"

Li Xuandu laughed and said, "Although I am not incompatible with Shen Yuanzhong, I am not going to use such weird means to deal with him."

Qin Su said: "You don't have such an idea, it's hard to guarantee that he won't think so. Do you think he will go?"

"What you said is not without reason. If Shen Yuanzhong thought I wanted to harm him on purpose, it would be impossible to guarantee that he would not have any other thoughts." Li Xuandu said: "I will openly talk to him last time, after all, except for the two of us. The rest of the people either only have the realm of Returning to the True Realm or the Yiyun Yehe. If he had a better candidate, I could also follow the opinions of the Great Elder. After all, I have already said that this Taiping Sect is not my one-man show."

Qin Su reached out and tapped Li Xuandu's forehead, and smiled and said, "But there is really you. If you block him like this, unless he gives up this old face, he will go with you no matter what."

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand and said, "At this time, the backyard cannot catch fire. Shen Yuanzhong is a variable. As long as he is not in Taiping Sect, the crowd below who oppose me will be long without the leader, and Mrs. Lu, Shen Yuanzhou and others will take charge, Taiping Sect will come out. There is no trouble. If I can represent the Taiping Sect shining brightly in this battle, the sect leader's authority will be accomplished."
