In a cabin in the woods.
After Li Qianqing waited here for less than half an hour, Yan Xuewei appeared in front of him.
It is still a long time before the time agreed by the two of them, and both of them arrived early.
"Qianqing, what you said before was still modest." Yan Xuewei sat down opposite Li Qianqing and spoke directly. Now more than half a month has passed since the seven monks of the Zhao royal family were killed, "Zhao The old guy from the royal family is recognized as the strongest pill-forming monk in the entire Zhao Kingdom, but he still fell into your hands with four pill-forming monks."
Li Qianqing had told her before. , His realm is only in the middle stage of pill formation. In fact, he already has the strength level of a monk in the late stage of pill formation. Looking back now, where is the strength level of the late stage pill formation monk?
Even many monks who are at the peak of pill formation are not as good as Li Qianqing.
“Our side has an advantage because of the geographical advantage, and they underestimated the enemy.” Li Qianqing simply explained, and he was telling the truth. The alchemy monks headed by Zhao Longyin, the ancestor of the Zhao royal family, indeed A bit underestimating the enemy.
If they had made a lot of preparations, he would have to put in more effort to deal with them.
“What if they don’t underestimate the enemy?”
“The result is the same.”
Yan Xuewei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Qianqing when she heard this.
“It’s best if we can solve it more easily. Sister Xuewei also knows that I have always been able to be simple.”
“It’s also their misfortune. It’s not easy to deal with anyone, but I chose you. Take action." Yan Xuewei nodded. Although she said so, she had no sympathy for the Zhao royal family. They deserved their current fate.
According to Li Qianqing’s principles of doing things, if the Zhao royal family is willing to let the Li family continue to develop and then have good relations with the Li family, the Zhao royal family should be able to control Zhao country all the time, and the Li family will not go out of their way to destroy them. established order.
Yan Xuewei thought carefully about what Li Qianqing said back then. If she had a deeper understanding, maybe she wouldn't be surprised at what happened more than half a month ago.
Li Qianqing is a monk who has great opportunities. Such monks are usually very strong. After following Li Qianqing, she might actually get the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul. However, she has not yet obtained the 'Cang Yun Order', but she is not in a hurry. There is still plenty of time now.
"Next, when do you plan to go to Huangmin County?" Yan Xuewei asked. Li Qianqing's visit to Huangmin County was his final move against the Zhao royal family. By then, there would be no Zhao royal family.
"Don't worry about it now. What we are still doing is to pull out all the influence of the Zhao royal family in other counties, and finally it is Huangmin County's turn."
"That's right. ." Yan Xuewei nodded. Although this approach is slower, it can smoothly transform the Li family into the new royal family.
“And in Huangmin County, among the seven affiliated foundation-building forces of their Zhao royal family, four foundation-building and immortal cultivating families have become affiliated with our Li family, and three more will not be given to the Zhao royal family. Not the slightest bit of help.”
"Qianqing, it's okay! You've already done this."
"Sister Xuewei, you may have misunderstood. I haven't incited them to rebel yet, they came to me on their own initiative."
>"Oh." Yan Xuewei was a little surprised, and then she felt that it was normal for such a thing to happen. With the Li family's current style, it can indeed attract many affiliated forces, "They came to the door so early, it seems they want to get Your attention.”
“There will be rewards for doing well.” Li Qianqing has always been generous in this area.
After the two chatted for half an hour, Li Qianqing revealed the main point of coming to Yan Xuewei this time.
"Sister Xuewei, Qingfeng Valley should also take action at this time to expand your influence." The Zhao royal family has the largest influence. In the current situation, Qingfeng Valley has not taken action yet. It should be for his sake. If nothing unexpected happens in Tianchuan Mountain and Shuiyun Sect, they should both start to move secretly.
Now that the three sects are encroaching on the power of the Zhao royal family, they are basically unable to resist and can only watch their territory shrink little by little.
The decline in strength will naturally lead to a decline in influence.
It wouldn’t matter if the strength dropped a little, but losing seven pill-forming monks all at once, including one who was at the peak of pill-forming, it wasn’t just a slight drop in strength, but a loss of more than half of the strength.
“Qianqing, do you really not care about this at all?”
"It's not that I don't care." Li Qianqing shook his head, "Now our Li family's monks are limited and can't control too much. It's not good to eat too much and stuff yourself to death."
"Hahaha, your metaphor "With you in the Li family, I don't think I can survive, sister." Li Qianqing's personal strength has already raised the upper limit of the Li family.
The current overall strength of the Li family is undoubtedly stronger than the previous Zhao royal family.
It can be said that even if the Li family now occupies more territory, no monk would dare to say anything publicly. Those whose interests will be harmed will inevitably speak ill of the Li family behind their backs.
“I still hope that the country can be more peaceful.” Li Qianqing’s vision is different from that of the Zhao royal family. Previously, as the strongest force in Zhao, they still only had Zhao in their eyes, and they only wanted to continue to expand here. They influence.
Li Qianqing knew in his heart that under his leadership, the Li family could not be limited to one country. Even if the territory of the Five Kingdoms was taken as an example, it was still very small.
"Sister Xuewei, you can use your name of Qingfeng Valley to tell Tianchuan Mountain and Shuiyunmen that if you want to continue to expand your territory and increase your influence, you don't have to come secretly, you can come openly. We Li I won’t do anything.” Li Qianqing made it clear.
These words sounded different to Yan Xuewei.
Having Qingfeng Valley inform the other two sects of this situation will take Qingfeng Valley's dominant position among the three sects one step further, especially now that everyone knows how powerful the Li family is and dare not provoke the Li family easily. case.
This is also telling the two sects that our Qingfeng Valley has a good relationship with the Li family. It is precisely because of our persuasion that you two sects can do these things openly without fear of being targeted by the Li family. .
"You Qianqing, your words have given us Qingfeng Valley a chance."
"No, Sister Xuewei, you should give Qingfeng Valley a chance. You must know that you are the current master of Qingfeng Valley." Li Qianqing smiled, Yan Xuewei was part of the reason why he could do this.
If Yan Xuewei were not the current owner of Qingfeng Valley, his strategy might change slightly, so that Qingfeng Valley would not have such an opportunity.
"Okay." After hearing this, Yan Xuewei felt very comfortable. She understood Li Qianqing's character and would indeed do such a thing. "As for Tianchuan Mountain and Shuiyun Gate, I will Handle it well and don't let them go too far."
It depends on her operation.
After doing this well, the three sects will really be dominated by Qingfeng Valley from now on.
After the important content was finished, the next two people talked about topics that rarely involved the forces of the two parties. After almost two hours, the two parted ways.
After Li Qianqing watched Yan Xuewei leave, he returned to Changqing Mountain.
Yan Xuewei quickly became busy after returning to Qingfeng Valley. Three days later.
Elder Jiedan from Tianchuan Mountain and Shuiyun Sect came to Qingfeng Valley.
They were all invited by Yan Xuewei, the current owner of Qingfeng Valley, to discuss the upcoming changes in the situation in Zhao State and what the status of their three sects will be in the future.
"Take a seat, you two." Yan Xuewei motioned to the two major sects Jiedan to sit down. In addition to the three of them, there was also Feng Xicheng, the current supreme elder of Qingfeng Valley.
Feng Xicheng came here just to listen. In most cases, he couldn't speak.
After the Li family eliminated the seven alchemy monks from the Zhao royal family, Feng Xicheng felt that it was a very right choice to hand over the position of the master of Qingfeng Valley to Yan Xuewei. Because of Yan Xuewei, the Li family It’s hard to have a bad relationship with them in Qingfeng Valley.
Three days ago, Yan Xuewei, who met Li Qianqing, told him some information, and he knew that the Li family had given them a gift from Qingfeng Valley.
After the meeting, the topic quickly unfolded.
“...After the Zhao royal family lost seven Dan-Jie monks, they are at the end of their lives. As long as the Li family wants to take action, they may perish at any time.”
“The end of their lives is also a blow to the Li family. It is said that there are one emperor, three sects and ten families. Now the Li family is no longer among the ten families, but neither is the Zhao royal family. The current strength of the Zhao royal family can still compete with any of our sects. "
"What do you two think of the Li family?" When talking about this, Yan Xuewei looked at the two of them and asked.
"Master Yan Valley, after all, the Li family is a subsidiary force of your Qingfeng Valley. If you want to ask our two opinions, I would like to know what Master Yan Valley thinks of the Li family now?"
"Fellow Daoist Cao Just kidding, the Li family is stronger than us in Qingfeng Valley now, how can it still be our affiliated force? Since ancient times, the weak has relied on the strong, how can the strong rely on the weak?"
"I heard. Master Yan, you have a good personal relationship with the head of the Li family.”
“It’s true,” Yan Xuewei nodded.
Seeing Yan Xuewei nodding her head in recognition, both the Danjie elder from Tianchuan Mountain and the Shuiyun Sect fell into a brief silence.
According to the news they had investigated before, Yan Xuewei and the Li family were more interested in exchanges. In their Tianchuan Mountain and Shuiyun Sect, there were many such monks. During the Dan-Jie period, they had contacts with the affiliated Dan-Jie immortal cultivating families. During the foundation building period, he also had contacts with the affiliated foundation building and immortal cultivating families.
As time went by and more and more information was obtained, they had different views on the relationship between Yan Xuewei and Li Qianqing of the Li family.
Now Yan Xuewei’s admission has verified the accuracy of their news.
Originally, the rise of the Li family should be a headache not only for the royal family of Zhao Kingdom, but also for Qingfeng Valley as the sect. Unexpectedly, Yan Xuewei’s relationship cleverly solved this problem for Qingfeng Valley. question.
If the Xiangshui Li family and Qingfeng Valley had a normal affiliated relationship, the current Qingfeng Valley should not be able to do so, and would even have to immediately announce to the outside world that the Li family was no longer an affiliated force of Qingfeng Valley.
"The previous question, how does Master Yan Valley view the Li family now?"
"There is no change from before, and the powerful Li family is still the same Li family as before." Yan Xuewei answered this with a smile question, and then put away his smile and asked, "These days, how much power have the two Taoist friends' sects eaten away at the Zhao royal family?"
"Master Yan Valley, what do you mean?"
"Don't worry, you two, we in Qingfeng Valley will always stand on the side of the three sects."
The elders of the two major sects looked at each other, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief. If Qingfeng Valley completely sides with the Li family, no matter how serious the conflict between Tianchuan Mountain and Shuiyun Sect is, they must cooperate.
"Not much, this is just the beginning."
"Our Shuiyun Sect has just reached out to Zelin County." Shuiyun Sect Jiedan Elder, who has a good relationship with Qingfeng Valley, will give more details. After that, he immediately asked, "Master Yan Valley, let's be blunt, what do you want to do?"
"To expand your influence, just do it openly, there is no need to be secretive." Yan Xuewei did not Keep hanging them.
“What!”
“You Qingfeng Valley want to drag us to confront the Li family directly?”
Both of them felt incredible when they heard the words. Now that the Zhao royal family is in decline and may perish at any time, their territories cannot be taken away openly. The Li family is watching.
If we act secretly, the Li family may turn a blind eye. If we do it openly, it means that our three sects will compete with your Li family for territory.
"Don't get excited, you two. I won't say anything anymore. We have a good relationship with the Li family in Qingfeng Valley. If you come here clearly, as long as you don't go too far, the Li family will not do anything. I hope this You promise." When she said this, Yan Xuewei emphasized, "But if it goes too far, I can't guarantee it. I hope that the two sects will be more measured than secretly." This action obviously consumes much less energy than the former, and is very efficient. There is no need to worry about being discovered by the Li family.
Especially when they still don’t know what the Li family’s current attitude is towards their three sects, it is not necessarily a risk to come secretly.
If what Yan Xuewei said to them was true, it would help them remove the risk.
“Master Yan Valley, it must have taken a lot of effort to convince the head of the Li family.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Master Yan Valley.”
“Fortunately, I also have this opportunity. It would be difficult if I didn't have the opportunity." Yan Xuewei smiled slightly and answered their question vaguely, letting them think about the difficulty.
At present, not many people know the specific relationship between her and Li Qianqing.
If many people know about it, they can change it when they meet.
At this moment, Qingfeng Valley Supreme Elder Feng Xicheng spoke.
“Two fellow Taoists, if the First Emperor will become the Li family in the future, and the pattern changes like this, what kind of changes will happen to the relationship between our Qingfeng Valley and the Li family is still uncertain. But our three sects are still three sects, and we need to be united at this time."
Feng Xicheng said this to confirm Qingfeng Gu's leadership position among the three sects and to show that they value their relationship with the Li family. , but they value the relationship with Shuiyunmen and Tianchuan Mountain more.
As the leading sect, while negotiating with the Li family, they are also seeking benefits for everyone. (End of chapter)
