Li Yao, the head of the Taili Sect, who had removed a piece of his heartache, was in a very happy mood at the moment.
Even if the aristocratic family in Taili Immortal City does not cause trouble, it still controls nearly 40% of the spiritual stone circulation channels and interests in Taili Immortal City. Even the Immortal Realm industry only accounts for 30%, which shows the power of the local aristocratic family.
Now not only do all these benefits belong to Taili Sect, but after the Yu family moved to Taili City, there are no allies with whom to unite. This eliminates another hidden danger for Taili Sect's glorious future.
As long as the Yu family's conspiracy plan succeeds, without the threat of Meng Hu Sect, Taili Immortal City will definitely become the new capital of the Yu Kingdom.
By that time, the status of the Taili Sect will be even higher, and the prestige of his current leader will also be unprecedentedly enhanced. Maybe he can even invite the Patriarch to visit the Yu Kingdom. No, at that time it should be called It’s too Liguo, it’s the founding ceremony of the country.
Just thinking about such a wonderful future makes Li Yao fascinated.
The grand plan can be seen from a distance, but the opportunity is close at hand. The only worry is the attitude of the Yu family.
Li Yao paced back and forth in the hall of the city defense mansion, thinking again about the conspiracy strategy that the Yu family's special envoy had said before:
Now that the Yu family's special envoy has completed what he promised at Taili Gate, Taili Immortal City has returned to the control of Taili Gate. But judging from Elder Li's report, this kid in the Qi training period is obviously a bold man. Be careful, he can bluff three major aristocratic families, is it possible that he is also deceiving me?
Could it be that these are all ploys by the Yu family and the Meng Hu Sect, with the purpose of deceiving my Taili clan into falling into a trap?
Judging from the Yu family’s special envoy’s methods, it is entirely possible!
Senior brother has already set off to ask the ancestor for support. As long as our Taili sect strengthens the walls and clears the fields and stabilizes the mountain gate, we can still protect our lives wisely. However, how can I explain it to the previous leader who has passed away? Menghu Sect! Menghu Sect! Demonic villains really do a lot of harm to people!
At the same time, Xie Yuanqian was anxious to secretly discuss the layout of the capital with Yingxue.
The city defense army has re-transferred full power to the Tailimen disciples. According to Xie Yuanqian's previous communication, Yingxue temporarily stationed the previously assembled monks in the temporary camp at the north gate, ready to attack the capital at any time, rushing to rescue Yutong. Princess.
They were anxious, and Xie Yuanqian was even more anxious.
urgent! urgent! urgent!
When Yingxue saw Xie Yuanqian coming, she intuitively read these three words from his expression.
Regarding Xie Yuanqian's anxiety, Yingxue was a little confused, "Now that the overall situation of Taili City has been decided, why are you so worried?"
Xie Yuanqian complained in his heart:
Auntie~! If we don't hurry, we will reveal our secret! Alas~! I knew it wouldn't be that easy to break into the WTO. Why is my newbie copy so difficult? It would be too difficult for me, a little qigong practitioner, to interfere with Nascent Soul’s powerful home court~
But Xie Yuanqian didn't have time to explain so much to her, so he dragged her into the carriage and rushed straight to the Xianyuan Department.
Yingxue was still confused, so Xie Yuanqian explained the current situation and dilemma to her in a long and short story, hoping that she could give some better solutions:
First of all, although Taili City has been captured, our true identity will most likely be questioned. Our wives and concubines are all in Taili City. If the secret is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Secondly, we need a stronghold that will neither make the Tailimen suspicious nor attract the attention of the Menghu Sect, but now we lack intelligence on the capital, and the time is too tight, we have not had time to arrange in advance.
In the end, Yingxue gathered a large number of monks in Taili City, and with the personnel support from Taili Sect, it was difficult to avoid suspicion in the capital of this kind of battle.
After Yingxue heard Xie Yuanqian's doubts, she didn't panic. In her opinion, Xie Yuanqian was confused by the authorities, but she, a bystander, knew it very well.
She, the immortal, has a clever plan:
"Sir, there is no need to worry too much. Have you forgotten that we have an unrelated person in Lingxian Inn? You can ask her to cooperate with us, and we will definitely be able to cover up the truth and let you, sir, have no worries."
"I am also fully confident about the stronghold. There is a secret place called Ziwu Valley in the royal hunting ground. It is a place that only the Yu family can enter. I have followed the princess there before, and we can camp there."
"As for how to enter the capital in secret? Sir, I'm afraid you have forgotten that the princess is not just a personal maid like me. Hanmei's father is the keeper of the capital, and we have fought side by side in the city of Kaixiang. With him as cover, we can enter and exit the country as if we were in the capital. No man’s land.”
In the end, Yingxue felt a little proud,
"How is it? Is the little girl's solution still worthy of the gentleman's wishes?"
After hearing this, Xie Yuanqian also smiled slightly and praised,
"Good strategy! As expected of you! But I want to make some changes."
Yingxue's plan was excellent, much more stable than Xie Yuanqian's own idea. His idea was to buy someone from the South Tower to fool the Tailimen, and then take a flying boat into the capital and then break them into pieces at the royal hunting ground. ,
It's legal and secret, but it's easy to alert others. After all, at this juncture of Princess Yutong, the flying boat from Taili City to the capital would be too ostentatious.
However, Yingxue was the only person on his side who was familiar with the capital. Xie Yuanqian was anxious to discuss with her and wanted to tentatively see if she had a better plan. Unexpectedly, she did have a better plan. This time it was much easier to handle.
It's just that Yingxue is a little too optimistic. She can't control either Li Qingdai's attitude or Han Li's attitude. Even if she tries to repay Li Qingdai's kindness and coerces Han Li with righteousness, she may not be able to succeed.
Yingxue's thoughts are easy to understand, but people's hearts are unpredictable.
After Xie Yuanqian completed Yingxue's plan, he explained:
"Li Qingdai must not repay favors, but seek benefits. Tailimen will meet all her demands. All we need to do is ask her to cooperate with us in a painful plot."
"Since Ziwu Valley is the secret realm of the Yu family, it must be guarded by someone. With your status as the former princess's maid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter. I will find someone to secretly meet with Princess Yutong and ask for her help."
"Goalkeeper Han Li is not allowed to have any contact with him. This person is from the Yu Kingdom and cannot be trusted. It will definitely be safer to contact Han Mei directly and ask her to cooperate with us."
After Yingxue listened to his instructions, she admired:
"Best regards, sir!"
At this time, the carriage also arrived near Lingxian Inn. Xie Yuanqian urged Yingxue to take action. He wanted to explain clearly the aftermath.
Generally speaking, Xie Yuanqian's side is more dangerous than opportunity. Every step of his plan is like dancing on the tip of a knife, but he may be temporarily safe due to the halo of the protagonist.
Adhering to Gou Dao's thoughts, he was still prepared for the cunning rabbit's three burrows, so Gongsun Hongye had to ventilate his breath in advance so that he could feel completely at ease.
The scene turned back to the city defense mansion again.
The incense burnt on Li Yao's desk has been burned out, and the documents of the three major families have also been signed. Li Yao called Elder Li in and asked:
"What do you think of Xie Yuanqian?"
Elder Li, who had seen Xie Yuanqian's layout, praised without hesitation,
"What a great talent! I wanted to intervene when there was a rift between the Tian family and the Gongsun family before, but he turned things around on his own. With his interlocking layout and his courage to take risks, if he hadn't been a member of the Yu family, People must be recruited into my Taili Gate."
Alas~ I'm just afraid that he is from the Yu family! Li Yao smiled bitterly in his heart.
Li Yao asked in a solemn tone,
"Then do you think he is a bait for the Yu family?"
Elder Li is also a smart man. He can see how powerful Xie Yuanqian is, and he is also aware of the hidden dangers.
He also asked Li Yao realistically,
"Master, with the Menghu Sect here, do we have any other options?"
Sigh~ There is definitely a choice, senior brother has already gone to ask for help, but I don’t want to choose! Li Yao smiled bitterly again.
Seeing that the leader was still worried and undecided, Elder Li also made a suggestion of his own.
"Why don't we give him a try?"
Li Yao asked,
"What kind of heuristic?"
Elder Li said his own method,
"It can be said that Xie Yuanqian has made the greatest contribution to the recovery of Taili City this time. We can reward him heavily and pretend to teach him the immortal secrets, and set the time to be the day before Princess Yutong's wedding. If he agrees, it means that the conspiracy must be fraudulent. If he refuses, we will leave a restriction in his body on the grounds of passing on the merits, double insurance.”
This is a good strategy that you can try, and Li Yao secretly added some small details:
If Xie Yuanqian was the bait, he would immediately seal the mountain again.
If Xie Yuanqian is trustworthy, he will send someone to the capital to try, and in terms of candidates, he also has a lot of discarded people available. .
After Xie Yuanqian came down from the mountain before, he detained a group of elders who were suspected of being traitors. Now is the time for them to come in handy. At most, he can catch up with two or three elders from the Formation Dao Peak.
If the conspiracy succeeds, he, Li Yao, will be the founder of the Taili Kingdom.
If this is a trap, he can also use his sword to kill people and deal with the sect traitors. There are still people available in Taili City, and they can still resist the Meng Hu Sect for some time.
Li Yao felt that his plan could advance or retreat, and he could protect Tailimen no matter what. It was a perfect strategy!
With both sides' plans completed, the time came for the confrontation.
Li Yao harbored evil intentions and held a grand banquet in the city lord's palace. In the name of the great success in annihilating the family, he carefully prepared a celebration banquet and invited the Yu family's special envoys to attend. He also specially invited those disciples who were under house arrest before. In name, of course it cannot be... To apologize, but to entrust them with important matters concerning the life and death of Tailimen.
As the liaison between the Yu family and Tailimen, Elder Li naturally took over the task of informing Xie Yuanqian and Yingxue to attend the banquet. Xie Yuanqian had also explained before that he needed time to organize manpower, and Yingxue led people to station at the north gate. It was public information again, so the target of his sword flight was very clear: the North Gate Camp of Taili City.
Xie Yuanqian has been waiting at the North Gate Camp for a long time.
When the monk guarding the military camp saw that the man coming with the sword was Elder Li, he immediately asked respectfully,
"Elder Li is here. Is there anything important that I need to inform you two adults about?"
Elder Li spoke condescendingly,
"Tonight our Taili Gate is hosting a banquet for the Yu family's special envoy. Please call him over quickly without any mistakes!"
Xie Yuanqian was overjoyed as soon as he got the news. Originally, he planned an accident to lure the snake out of the hole and make the Tailimen notice the existence of Li Qingdai. He never thought that now the Tailimen would take the initiative to send it to the door. It saved him a lot of effort.
He immediately contacted Yingxue who was on standby in the Xianyuan Department.
"Yingxue, the time has come!"
Then he quickly set off, caught up with Elder Li's flying sword, and went with him to the city lord's mansion for the banquet.
When Elder Li saw that Yingxue did not come with him, he couldn't help but ask more: "Why don't Yingxue come with us?"
Xie Yuanqian had already planned it and said casually: "She has been busy with paperwork recently and is quite busy with everything. She has no intention of going to the banquet tonight. I hope the elders will forgive me."
According to Xie Yuanqian's previous statement, Yingxue was only the person responsible for liaison, and at most it could be used as a witness. How could there be any evidence of document trouble?
Xie Yuanqian's cryptic answer naturally aroused Elder Li's doubts, but Xie Yuanqian's words were so tactful. If he continued to ask, it would inevitably appear that he was too unreasonable. Besides, tonight's Hongmen Banquet at the City Lord's Mansion will reveal the Yu family's true thoughts, so this little detail doesn't matter.
So Elder Li didn't say anything, and Yu Jian flew back to the City Lord's Mansion with Xie Yuanqian.
Li Qingdai, who had been transferred to the Xianyuan Department here, saw Fairy Yingxue receiving the communication, and knew that the opportunity to realize her dream was close at hand. She silently said in her heart: If you want to succeed, you must go crazy first! Fight!
After taking the pulse-protecting pills and the heart-protecting pills given by Yingxue, she expressed her determination,
"Benefactor, do it!"
Seeing that Li Qingdai was ready, Yingxue beat Li Qingdai seriously again without any mercy, and fed Liu Linhai a specially prepared poison. Finally, she found out that Li Qingdai was really on the verge of death. , Yingxue also immediately acted according to the plan.
Elder Li is worthy of being a real Jindan. His sword flying speed is more than twice as fast as Yingxue, and he returned to the city lord's mansion in a short time.
Taili Sect is worthy of being an Immortal Sect, and the Hongmen Banquet was also very grand and stylish, with single people and single tables, and the seats were packed. It was much more formal than the previous banquets of aristocratic families.
The head of the clan, Li Yao, sat alone in a high seat and had a seat facing the east. The chief elder of the Formation Peak had a seat next to him, located on the right side of Li Yao, facing the south. Xie Yuanqian's seat faced the north, sitting on an equal footing with those of the Taili clan who were under house arrest. .
Not to mention the fine wines and delicacies, the fairy fruits and rare treasures are just a piece of cake. Everyone seems to have already sat down and is waiting for Xie Yuanqian to arrive.
The real owner has arrived, and the show can officially begin.
Li Yao was the first to raise his glass and praise Xie Yuanqian:
"My fellow disciples, this is the special envoy of the Yu family - Xie Yuanqian! The plan for our Tailimen to retake the Immortal City this time is his handiwork. On behalf of the Tailimen, I would like to propose a toast to you first!"
After saying this, Li Yao raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then turned the glass over to signal to Xie Yuanqian.
Xie Yuanqian was also extremely attentive. He had smelled the smell of the Hongmen Banquet when he sat down at the table, and now Li Yao's flattering look made him even more wary.
The leader of the Taili Sect wanted to go first as a courtesy. No matter how reluctant he was to drink, he could only force himself to say with a smile:
"Head Li Yao has been over-reputed. Without the help of Tai Li Clan, a villain like me would not dare to interfere in the chaos of the family."
Li Yao seemed to take advantage of this sentence. He laughed and continued:
"Hey! What the special envoy said is wrong. Elder Li praised you very much, saying that although your cultivation level is low, you are brave and resourceful, and your actions are very strategic. You are very suitable for him. He even wants to accept a disciple. .What do you think?"
When the disciples heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they started talking about it:
"No way! Elder Li, the most disciplined elder of the Punishment Hall, actually wants to take disciples from these servants?"
"Why is this special envoy of the Yu family so favored by two important figures, the headmaster and Elder Li?"
"Special envoy of the Yu family? What kind of development is this?"
"..."
Xie Yuanqian knew that something was wrong as soon as he heard this. Li Yao's words obviously contained murderous intent. If Elder Li really wanted to accept him as his disciple, he would have said it directly. There is no need for you to take over in front of a large public. This is not the case. Take off your pants and fart? I knew you had bad intentions!
The surrounding comments and glances obviously pushed him into the range of the "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance".
Xie Yuanqian broke into a cold sweat:
No, it’s only been less than two sentences since the dinner started! What about you Tailimen? I'm just a little guy who can't even build a foundation. Is this how the protagonist is treated? This is too uncomfortable.
Xie Yuanqian quickly used his skills to save this increasingly bad situation.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your appreciation. The Taoist temple of Taili Immortal Sect is indeed fascinating. However, I am not very qualified and am still an immortal servant of the Yu family. If I join his sect, I am afraid it will dishonor my reputation, and I am even more afraid of damaging the Taili sect. Due to my reputation, I don’t dare to agree to this matter, and I hope the leader won’t blame me!”
Xie Yuanqian's approach of belittling himself and promoting Tailimen had a remarkable effect, and people around him gradually began to look at him normally.
"A servant should have the consciousness of a servant. This boy is very sensible!"
"You're a smart kid!"
"..."
Only when Elder Li came here was he willing to say a word,
"Don't you, the leader, have something important to say? It's better not to talk too much about such trivial matters."
The two of them really sang in harmony. Seeing that Li Yao's little trick didn't work, Elder Li immediately reminded him that it was time to get down to business.
Li Yao was also able to move freely and immediately pointed the finger at the disciples who were under house arrest.
"That's true. Now it's time to make it clear to you. The Yu family's special envoy is here not only to help our Tailimen regain Tailixian City, but also to conspire with us on important matters."
How did the people who were under house arrest know about the Yu family's conspiracy? Discussions suddenly started again, but they couldn't get to the point.
At the right time, the chief elder of the Daofeng Formation was very cooperative and started talking to him.
"Is the leader talking about conspiring with the Yu family to kill the Menghu Sect?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone's eyes focused on Xie Yuanqian again.
conspiracy? What conspiracy? Haven't the Yu family and us already broken up?
The Yu family first married the Meng Hu Sect, and now they are conspiring with my Taili Sect. What are they doing? !
What other plans does the Yu family have that we don’t know about?
........
Xie Yuanqian knew as soon as he heard that the big one was coming. He had warned Li Yao before about colluding with the Tailimen, but now judging from everyone's reaction, it was obvious that Li Yao knowingly committed the crime. This old Bideng wanted to trick me! ?
Eh~! Coincidentally, the conspiracy was completely false to begin with, let's see how I am able to ambush you.
Xie Yuanqian said very righteously,
"Now that the head of the family has spoken out, it seems that all of you here are key members of the Taili Sect, so I will make it clear to you all." "I am here with the wishes of the ancestor of the Yu family. I would like to invite the Taoist masters from Taili Sect to work with my Yu family to eliminate evil!"
Li Yao secretly rejoiced when he heard Xie Yuanqian's sweet words: What a good boy, this is a great time!
He also took advantage of the situation and said:
"That's right! I didn't send any of my fellow disciples to participate in the plan to regain the Immortal City before. This is because I have to entrust you with this matter that is related to Taili Clan's life and death. I hope that all of you will put the overall situation first and cooperate with the Yu family's special envoy to complete the conspiracy!"
The combined punches of these two people made the disciples present feel a little excited, and everyone was very excited.
"I will go through fire and water for my sect, even if I die!"
"I am willing to fight against the sword and the sea of fire for Tailimen!"
"Young man from the Yu family, tell me quickly! How do you want us to cooperate with you?"
.......
Looking at these excited Taili disciples, Li Yao and Xie Yuanqian couldn't help but think of two words:
Two little bugs hold the spring in their hands and carve the characters on the shells.
After all, Li Yao was the leader, so the overall situation was naturally in his hands. He released his spiritual pressure a little to suppress everyone's voices.
"Everyone, please be patient! Let's listen to the Yu family's special envoy's plan first!"
After everyone calmed down, Xie Yuanqian also began to explain the plan:
"First of all, everyone must break up into pieces and enter the royal hunting ground. There is a secret place called Ziwu Valley in the hunting ground. This is the stronghold specially prepared by my Yu family,"
"Then, the formation monks from Taili Sect were invited to secretly change the direction of the spiritual veins in the capital and gather them into Ziwu Valley."
"Finally, on Princess Yutong's wedding day, the ancestor used his spiritual pressure as a command, extracted the power of his spiritual veins, and linked up with the capital formation to kill the master of the Menghu Sect and the rest of the Demon Sect in one fell swoop!"
