The others had already withdrawn, and the people present were all of his own people. Xie Yuanqian said what he had to say directly.
"Li Ping, the master has an order, ordering you and other Taili disciples to return to the mountain gate as soon as possible! From now on, the three of us will be responsible for the defense of Taili Immortal City."
Just come up and seize power? Where did you come from, cutie! ?
Although Liping didn't know who Xie Yuanqian was, a mere monk in the Qi training period actually dared to give orders in front of his golden elixir master, thinking that my golden elixir was made of clay?
Liping asked disdainfully,
"Who are you? Where did the city defense order come from!"
I knew that this scene would definitely happen, so I asked Elder Tailimen to accompany me.
Xie Yuanqian did not answer him, but just signaled to the elders of the Taili Sect again. The elders of the Inner Sect used the Dao Ling Jue slightly, and hit Liping directly in the body.
There is also a gap between the two golden elixirs. The elder's cultivation level is obviously higher than Liping's. This spiritual secret made Liping both surprised and happy.
Surprisingly, he was hit by this person's move without even opening his defenses.
Fortunately, Liping, who was born in Tailimen, recognized this person's identity instantly when this spiritual power entered his body:
It’s Taili Lingjue! This black-robed Jindan Daoist is my Tailimen elder!
Seeing the surprised and uncertain expression on Liping's face, Xie Yuanqian spoke again,
"There is no need to ask about our identity anymore. Remember not to reveal it to others. Now do as I say. Remember to make a louder noise when you return to the sect. Let the people in Taili Immortal City clearly see that you are returning. Shanmen!”
With the city defense order in Tailimen and the self-certification of the Tailimen elders, although Liping could not understand what was going on now, he had already recognized the identities of Xie Yuanqian and the others.
Liping respectfully saluted Elder Jindan, then handed over the Seal of the City Defense Palace and replied,
"As you command!"
Liping had received the news a long time ago and was planning to return to the mountain gate in time today, but he did not expect that Xie Yuanqian and the others would come in forcefully and ask all their disciples to go back.
Originally, he had some arrangements for the city defense, but now it seems that the sect has other arrangements, but he is worrying too much.
Liping took the order and flew back to the mountain with hundreds of disciples from the Taili Sect with a mighty sword. Even the disciples in the Qi training stage walked with the foundation-building disciples at his request, and none of them walked back to the Taili Sect. .
This kind of scene where the golden elixir opens the way and hundreds of foundation builders fly together with their swords is rare in Taili Immortal City! It perfectly met Xie Yuanqian's request for Liping to build momentum.
When Xie Yuanqian and Liping led the team to set off, they also planned the next actions in full swing:
Yingxue went to summon the soldiers dismissed by Princess Yutong and asked them to temporarily take charge of the city defense affairs of Taili Fairy City.
Elder Jindan and him first need to learn more about the power of the aristocratic families in Taili Immortal City.
Yingxue's side went smoothly. After all, she had the city defense order in hand, and she only needed to issue notices and organize personnel.
Xie Yuanqian directly summoned the adjutant of city defense affairs in Taili Xiancheng. This position belonged to the aristocratic family and was in charge of the internal disputes in Taili Xiancheng. It was similar to the police and urban management.
This man was a Foundation-Building Immortal. With Elder Jindan putting pressure on him, he had no choice but to kneel on the ground and answer.
"I'm humble enough to pay my respects to Mr. Fujun!"
This person is from the aristocratic family camp. Xie Yuanqian started to trick him from the first sentence.
"I am the special envoy of the Yu family, not the new prince. Please give me a good explanation of the power of this family in Taili Immortal City!"
He came with such a high profile and forcefully forced away Taili Clan's disciples. He was not the new ruler, and he even asked about the family. Could it be that the Yu family wanted to select the new leader of Taili Immortal City?
When he thought that the opportunity was close at hand, the man replied with ulterior motives,
"Replying to the special envoy, there are twelve aristocratic families in Taili Immortal City, all of which belong to the Gongsun family. The Tian family and the Gu family follow each other closely. The Gongsun family controls the food supply of Taili Immortal City. The family has thousands of acres of spiritual land. The Tian family is a sword-making family and also has three families. A mine, the Gu family has many industries, is well-informed, and its influence is slightly higher than the other two."
Xie Yuanqian asked with great interest,
"Oh? Now that the disciples of Taili Sect are gone, what is the situation in Taili Immortal City? Which of the three families has the momentum to dominate?"
Now that the disciples of Taili Sect have officially left, the battle for sovereignty of Taili Immortal City is imminent.
Xie Yuanqian asked some more questions about the layout and power division of Taili Immortal City, and he heard everything in detail.
His information was pretty good, slightly biased towards the Gu family. It seemed that the head of the Gu family was a powerful figure. The executive deputy had a good reputation for the Gu family. The Gu family needed special attention.
Xie Yuanqian had already made a basic judgment on the situation in Taili Immortal City, and without revealing any more intentions, he simply ordered this person to retreat.
Xie Yuanqian's question quickly reached the ears of the aristocratic families word for word, and there was a lot of bait in it.
The Tian family was the first to make a move. Tian Kaijiang was impatient. As soon as he finished the small meeting, he was thinking about paying homage to Xie Yuanqian and the others. Now the information from the standing adjutant has also come. Xie Yuanqian and the others are most likely to be here on orders from the Yu family. Li Xiancheng selects a new spokesperson,
The first impression is the most important, and the first person to pay homage must be the Tian family! The Tian family sent the meeting gift to the city defense mansion that night, and they didn't even talk about Taili Immortal City, they just gave it as a gift.
The Tian family is worthy of being a family of cultivators, and when things are urgent, courtesy is not taken lightly. There are three storage bags, each of which is different. Xie Yuanqian, the elder of Jindan, has no right to watch. Yingxue and his own one add up:
High-quality flying swords
I go! This is such a big deal from the Tian family! Is this the family's financial resources? The meeting gift alone is worth all Xie Yuanqian's previous efforts. This is only the first one, and the other two will probably be there too.
Apart from anything else, these meeting gifts are worthy of Xie Yuanqian's increased efforts towards the aristocratic families. After all, as soon as the Taili Clan comes back, the assets of these aristocratic families will fall into the hands of the Taili Clan. Now while the official power is still there, he can quickly A little bit is a little bit!
Of course, the fact that the Tian family took the lead in giving gifts was noticed by the other two families.
Gongsun and Sun both secretly scolded Tian Kaijiang for being dishonest. We had agreed to be polite first and then fight. Now you actually ran away! ? Then I was still hesitating whether I should rush to give gifts, and this thought was postponed to the next day.
Gu Yanzi still looked calm and unhurried. He wanted to confirm the true purpose of Xie Yuanqian and the others. After all, Yingxue had summoned Princess Yutong's old troops. Why they came was still open to question.
There are still 13 days left before Princess Yutong's wedding, and Xie Yuanqian has already established himself as the special envoy of the Yu family in Taili Fairy City.
Just as Xie Yuanqian expected, the Gu family invited Xie Yuanqian and the others to attend the banquet. With their reputation, it was natural for them to receive the wind and wash away the dust.
The banquet of the aristocratic family was naturally extremely luxurious, and the venue was set at the Shangxian Restaurant of the Gongsun family. There were only two guests, but the long table was ten meters away. There were hundreds of dishes of wine and delicacies, all of which were carried by beautiful maids. , let Xie Yuanqian and the others order whatever they want,
This banquet smelled of wine, vegetables, rice, and even beauty. However, Xie Yuanqian and the others lacked interest and the food was not enjoyable.
Although every dish at this banquet is made of high-quality ingredients, and the rice is also high-quality spiritual rice with a lot of spiritual energy, Elder Jindan has already practiced Taoism, and the taste of his appetite is nothing more than a cloud.
As an unswerving practitioner of Blue Star's core socialist values, Xie Yuanqian felt too deeply disconnected from the luxurious banquets of aristocratic families, so the delicious food with all its color, aroma and taste became boring.
The food is tasteless and the guests are not happy. As the host of the treat, the three aristocratic families are secretly anxious.
As the master of the home court, Gongsunjiu thought to himself:
What does this special envoy of the Yu family mean? Could it be that such delicacies cannot be appreciated by them?
Gu Yanzi has some guesses:
The Gongsun family is really not attentive to their affairs. With this table of food and wine, the elder Jin Dan who is guarding the side must not despise such vulgar food, and this kid in the Qi training period is afraid that he will not be able to get enough spiritual nourishment, so he does not dare to eat more!
Tian Kaijiang is still the same straightforward person, asking whatever comes to mind.
"The special envoy is not satisfied with these food and drinks?"
Xie Yuanqian must be dissatisfied! But he couldn't show it, so he could only reply awkwardly,
"This banquet is extremely luxurious, but I am not lucky enough to enjoy it!"
Gongsun and Sun both toasted and complimented,
"What are you talking about, special envoy! You are the special envoy of the Yu family. Your honor is really a blessing to my little shop! It is such an honor and you must have a drink. I respect you first!"
After saying that, he drank a glass of wine in a self-righteous manner.
Logically speaking, Xie Yuanqian should return a drink to him, but Xie Yuanqian hates this kind of wine table culture. He didn't expect to encounter it in another world. Besides, the last time he attended the foundation building banquet of Senior Brother Che Jian in Taili Immortal City, he drank The result was that I was drunk, and that feeling of fear still lingers in my heart.
It can be seen from this that drinking causes trouble!
So Xie Yuanqian refused without giving him face,
"Ancestor has a saying, drinking will cause trouble, I don't dare to disobey the order!"
As soon as these words came out, this banquet that was already showing signs of going wrong was about to cool down.
Ah! I knew that Gongsun Jie was really a fool and it was up to me to take action.
Gu Yanzi came to the rescue in time when the scene was about to cool down:
"The special envoy has done his duty, but I didn't think it through well. Please forgive me! You guys get off quickly!"
After the maids left and the food and wine were cleared, Xie Yuanqian also borrowed the donkey from the slope and pretended to be generous and said,
"It doesn't matter. Now that the place is clean, I'll talk about it." "The Taili Sect has lost its power, and Taili Immortal City should have a new owner."
Speaking of this, the three major aristocratic families became energetic. The Tian family has a leading advantage in this matter.
Tian Kaijiang was the first to ask,
"May I ask if the Yu family, the special envoy, agrees that Taili Immortal City should maintain its autonomy?"
Naturally, Xie Yuanqian had already planned it, and he gave an affirmative answer.
"Ancestor has said that Taili Immortal City can be allowed to govern itself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was very happy, but they each had their own thoughts.
Gongsun Jie was a little annoyed because he was still thinking about his mistake. Yesterday he did not give gifts first like Tian Kaijiang did, and today he did not entertain well and almost made the banquet a cold one. This special envoy must have no regard for his Gongsun family. What a good impression,
He will have to perform well next. At least one-third of the sovereign Gongsun family in Taili Immortal City must be occupied.
Tian Kaijiang only had the word "autonomy" in his eyes. He was the first to give the gift. It must have been an extra point in the eyes of the special envoy. The Tian family must have at least one-third of the sovereignty of Taili Immortal City.
As long as I operate well, maybe I can get more!
Gu Yanzi was secretly happy when he heard that the Yu family actually agreed to the autonomy of Taili Xiancheng, but Xie Yuanqian's words obviously had other meanings.
The statement that this was allowed particularly aroused his thinking.
What does it mean to be allowed?
The Yu family must still have unfinished conditions, so they can't be happy too early, but they can't ask openly, at least they can't let the other two families know how this is allowed.
If my guess is correct, this special envoy must have something to say. Our Gu family has sincerity, and our Gu family must win Taili Immortal City!
The considerations of the three families are naturally included in Xie Yuanqian's script, and the following performance is amazing.
He directly took out a map of Taili Immortal City that he had prepared in advance. The spheres of influence of the three aristocratic families and the location of Taili Gate were particularly conspicuous. They even drew their unique marks to distinguish them.
Gongsun's family is Daosui, occupying one of the two middle lanes of Taili Immortal City.
The Tian family is like a hammer, marked with an alley inside, inside and outside.
The Gu family is like a spider, covering the two outer alleys and the most prosperous inner alley. There is even a main road that follows the Gu family's power layout. The strength of the Gu family is evident.
The Taili Sect is like a sword, suppressing the main artery of Taili Immortal City. Now that the Taili Sect of the Immortal Sect has lost power, the blood surging under the main artery is making the three major families boil.
This picture is quite like a current situation picture! The Immortal City of Taili, which was about to be divided, was crumbling.
This picture is just an appetizer. Let the three major families see clearly how big the territory of Taili Immortal City is. The next thing is the heavyweight.
The city defense order of Taili Fairy City.
Why is this thing considered heavyweight?
This thing means orthodoxy!
Although the three major aristocratic families can secretly control various resources in Taili Immortal City, on the surface, as long as the Taili Sect is still there, they will always be aristocratic families and rich people, and they will always have to give it to Taili Sect when entering or leaving Taili Immortal City. Offer up.
Now that Tailimen has lost power, their opportunity has finally come! This small city defense order is what they value most.
Xie Yuanqian took the chicken feathers as a command arrow, pointed at this unattractive city defense order and said,
"I have already obtained the defense order for Taili Immortal City from Taili Sect. I have also driven away Taili Sect's disciples. Taili Immortal City is in my hands for the time being. After that... it all depends on your performance. .”
The first bait has been thrown, but the drama behind it cannot be revealed clearly.
Xie Yuanqian pretended to be mysterious and put away these things without saying anything. He said goodbye to Elder Jindan and left, which made the three major families very uncomfortable.
Gongsun Jie secretly scolded Xie Yuanqian for being a villain and not knowing how to do things. Why was he not given a chance to perform on the spot?
Tian Kaijiang immediately realized the meaning of the word performance: more money is needed! This is easy to handle. He is going to visit in person this time, and he will definitely get the city defense order of Taili Immortal City!
Gu Yanzi also couldn't sit still. He finally saw that Xie Yuanqian was using the city's defense order to gain benefits! The Tian family now has the advantage of sneaking away. The Gu family is a little behind, but he has a clever plan. The defense order of Taili Immortal City belongs to his Gu family!
The three of them have their own secrets in their hearts, but outwardly they are still brothers, and both Gong and Sun are scolding each other.
"This special envoy is so incompetent that it would be better to toast him instead of eating! It's really unreasonable! The three of us in Taili Immortal City must continue to govern the city as it is, and we don't need this city defense order!"
His heartfelt words sounded like nonsense to the other two families. They also had a common idea:
I go! We now have a little cutie! If you co-govern with such a person, then your family fortune will be ruined?
Can't afford it, can't afford it!
Tian Kaijiang is impatient but not stupid. He openly agrees with Gongsun Jie.
"What Brother Gongsun said is absolutely true. Our Tian family has no objections. Let's take care of it together!"
Gu Yanzi was the shrewdest, and he heard Tian Kaijiang's wishful thinking clearly, and he couldn't help but sarcastically said,
"Really? Yesterday, your Tian family rushed to show courtesy to the special envoy, right? Is this also called co-governance?"
Tian Kaijiang said quite proudly,
"Hey~ Brother Gu, what you said is wrong. Our Tian family gave the gift in the name of the aristocratic family, and we didn't have any secret talks with the special envoy. I was just helping the aristocratic family to gain favor!"
Even Gongsun didn't believe this kind of rhetoric that he knew was a lie the moment he heard it.
"Brother Tian, do you think we are fools? We agreed to be polite first and then fight. What's the matter with you taking the first step? Today, only Brother Gu and I are allowed to send you off! Don't get involved with your Tian family!"
MDZZ! Gu Yanzi was really speechless to Gongsunjie, the landowner. He was stupid, so why not bring me along with him?
"When it comes to giving gifts, it all depends on your heart, and it's better for everyone to rely on their abilities!"
Tian Kaijiang has a leading advantage, so he naturally agrees with both hands.
"What Brother Gu said is absolutely true, everyone should rely on their abilities!"
this? Didn’t you just agree to co-govern? How come everyone just depends on their abilities? Are you two playing with me?
Gongsun and Sun both felt that they had been tricked by the other two families and said unhappily,
"That being the case, let's see who has more sincerity!"
As a result, this reception banquet, which was originally a test for Xie Yuanqian, became a breakup meal for the three major aristocratic families. Only Xie Yuanqian, who had evil intentions, won the victory.
