Chapter 643: Borrowed Strength
Looking at Li Xuan's constipated expression, Xie Qingmo also laughed.
"That means the reformists don't have a real candidate for the saint, right?"
"Ayimu's competitors are actually only the conservative candidate for the saint?"
Li Xuan paused for a while before continuing to ask.
"You can say that." Xie Qingmo replied.
Li Xuan's expectations for the reformists were extinguished in an instant.
But he immediately thought of something and asked:
"Do you think the candidate for the reformist saint can be replaced by another candidate?"
"I know a little girl who is also very talented."
Xie Qingmo still didn't understand, but Aimu immediately thought of who Li Xuan was talking about.
"Lord Xuan wants to recommend His Highness Ankang?"
Li Xuan nodded, and then began to actively promote: "Her talent is not inferior to Princess Yan Zhao, and she is also from the Daxing royal family. Now she is deeply trusted by Emperor Yongyuan, and she is also very interested in your Holy Fire Sect."
Ayimu smiled, and then explained: "Lord Xuan, the selection of the candidate saint of the Holy Fire Sect is not a joke."
"It is not easy for Master to allow the recommendation of the reformists. It is impossible to change people now. After all, the test of the candidate saint has already begun, and other people in the sect will not agree."
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel regretful.
"It's a pity that I didn't know someone from the Holy Fire Sect earlier, otherwise I would have let Ankang compete for a saint, and then a martial arts holy land would have been directly taken over by me."
Of course, Li Xuan was just thinking about it.
The reformists were so abstract that they recommended Princess Yan Zhao, and Princess Yan Zhao herself didn't agree, which shows that the other two factions didn't take them seriously at all.
The Holy Fire Sect only has so much power and territory, and it was previously controlled by the conservatives, so these young people naturally could not get any real power.
The reformists want to spread the teachings to the outside world, probably hoping to make the pie bigger, so that they can get more and change the current situation in the Holy Fire Sect.
But this move is not simple.
After Li Xuan confirmed that he could not contact the leader of the reformists for a while, he could only give up the idea of getting in touch with them.
"By the way, remember to inform your saint that I have something to discuss with her. When the time is set, send a letter to the spy downstairs, and he will notify me."
Since the reformists are unreliable, Li Xuan had to negotiate directly with Nilubaier.
Li Xuan got the promise of Emperor Yongyuan that he would help him establish a cooperative relationship with the Holy Fire Sect as much as possible.
Therefore, he had to know what conditions the Holy Fire Sect was going to offer first, and then talk to Emperor Yongyuan in detail.
"By the way, see if you can recognize these words."
Li Xuan was about to leave, but suddenly remembered that there was one more thing.
He took out a piece of paper from the Emperor Hong bone ring, on which was written a line of special words.
This was the sentence that Li Xuan had copied from the book left by the Western Region Fire Demon.
Although Tang Nu's Lijingmen was deciphering the contents on it, Li Xuan also wanted to try his own way.
The contents on it might be the biggest secret of the Western Region Fire Demon, and it was probably related to the Yin-Yang technique that he had secretly learned from the Holy Fire Sect.
Even if it was only incomplete, Li Xuan was in urgent need of it.
At worst, it might be the magic skill that the Western Region Fire Demon had comprehended on his own.
Li Xuan relied on his own talent, and he dared to practice any magic skill that was not too counter-productive.
Ayimu and Xie Qingmo took the note and frowned immediately:
"Although it looks like the characters of some small countries in the Western Region, it doesn't seem to be. Is it some kind of secret text used in the Western Region?"
Xie Qingmo quickly made his own judgment.
Not to mention Ayimu, he just shook his head.
Li Xuan put away the note with some disappointment. It seemed that the two of them could not recognize the secret code of the Western Fire Demon.
Then, he left Hu Yulou with the two of them seeing him off.
Li Xuan climbed up to the roof of Hu Yulou and looked down at the surroundings.
Although the capital is large, there are still too few forces that can cooperate.
"The Fuhu Temple was persecuted by King Zheng, but we can use some power from the Buddhist sect."
"As for the Taoist sect, I am not familiar with Taoist Sanxi yet to the extent that I can ask him to help, but it should be no problem to ask him to help with the previous land deed."
"As for the Holy Fire Sect, at most Ayimu and Xie Qingmo are willing to help me. Let them send other masters to intervene. It depends on the subsequent negotiations."
"Although the Red Scarf Team has absorbed many talents from the rivers and lakes, the backbone is still the flowery eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Wei Zhen's North Team Hunting Officer."
"In addition, what other forces can be won over to become helpers?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but worry.
This year, the southern tour will be held.
Although the exact departure date has not been set, there have been rumors in the palace since last year that it will be after the beginning of spring.
Now that the Spring Festival has passed, it is possible to set off for the southern tour at any time.
Before that, Li Xuan would not feel at ease if he did not make some more preparations.
"Oh, that's right!"
"I haven't received any news from the Money Gang for a long time, and I don't know how Yang Wanli is doing?"
After Zhu Wufeng died, Chen Tan was released from the palace and now serves in the Red Scarf Team, mainly responsible for dealing with the Money Gang.
Li Xuan knew that if there was no report about the Money Gang, there would be no big problem.
It's just that he hasn't seen these two brothers for a long time, and Li Xuan also wants to go see Chen Tan and Yang Wanli, and by the way, learn about the current situation of the Money Gang.
He thought about it and was about to go to Chen Tan first, but a familiar voice came from his feet.
"Is Master A-Xuan gone?"
Xie Qingmo asked furtively.
Li Xuan's body that was about to leave suddenly stopped.
He now maintains the state of integrating his aura into the world all year round. Even a third-level master can hardly detect him without opening up his Tao realm.
"You want to avoid me?"
Hearing that Xie Qingmo's tone was wrong, Li Xuan left in no hurry.
"Alas, Mr. Xuan rarely comes here once, and he doesn't want to stay for a while."
Ayimu lay beside the window, looking at the scenery outside, and sighed with regret.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, why are you in a hurry?"
"On the contrary, the note that Mr. Xuan took out just now is probably what my sister said."
Hearing this, Li Xuan's heart trembled.
"Oh, didn't Master Axuan say that?"
"They just beat away the Fire Demon of the Western Regions. The Fire Demon of the Western Regions was seriously injured and was hiding. How could they give their own skills to their enemies?"
Bang.
As soon as Ayimu finished speaking, there was a muffled sound and a cry of pain.
"Confused!"
"Although Master Ah Xuan is the Holy Beast of Savior, we cannot believe whatever he says."
"Especially since Master Axuan has not yet returned to his position, he is actually very careful about our Holy Fire Sect."
"My sister did not handle this matter well last time."
Xie Qingmo sighed as he spoke.
"Sister still has doubts about our judgment. Although she was polite to Mr. Xuan last time, she did not give enough trust."
"Although Mr. Xuan is casual when dealing with us, he is thoughtful and should have noticed my sister's attitude."
"This time, my sister also suspects that the Fire Demon of the Western Regions has died in the hands of Master A Xuan, and it is very possible that he obtained his magic power."
Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping on the roof, suddenly felt sweaty.
"Master Ah Xuan said that the Fire Demon of the Western Region has broken through to the second level. He is the top warrior in the world. How can he be so easy to kill?"
"We are always suspicious, and Mr. Xuan's heart is about to drop."
Ayimu muttered that he was aggrieved for Li Xuan.
Xie Qingmo shook his head silently after hearing this. If he hadn't been watching, Ayimu would have run away with Li Xuan long ago, and might even have to sell the Holy Fire Sect.
"You are so obsessed with cats!"
Xie Qingmo poked Ayimu's head, causing Ayimu to roll his eyes.
"But speaking of it, Lord A-Xuan is really powerful."
"The secret text Master A Xuan showed us today was probably left by the Fire Demon of the Western Region."
"My sister has been asking me to pay attention to this matter. Since it appeared today, I have to report it. By the way, I also tell my sister about Mr. Xuan's desire to contact me again."
Xie Qingmo gave Ayimu a few more instructions and then left Hu Yulou.
"Oh, that's really troublesome."
Ayimu let out a long sigh.
…
"It turns out that Nilubair has already guessed that the Fire Demon of the Western Region is dead..."
"Looks like I was a little sloppy today."
On the way to find Chen Tan, Li Xuan summed up the gains and losses.
But he immediately looked away. Only after the secret text of the Western Region Fire Demon was cracked could the value be confirmed.
And it seems that the Holy Fire Cult also cares about the magic power of the Fire Demon of the Western Regions.
As long as Li Xuan records the exercises, they are no longer needed. He can write down the complete exercises silently at any time.
But now that he knows that the Holy Fire Cult also wants this thing, he may not be able to use it as a bargaining chip.
It's just that Li Xuan is a little strange. The Holy Fire Sect obviously already has yin and yang skills such as the Holy Fire Immortal Body, so why does it still care about the magic skills that the Fire Demon of the Western Regions learned from the incomplete skills?
"What is the value of the Western Region Fire Demon's magic skills to them?"
While Li Xuan was thinking, he had already arrived at the Red Scarf Team's station.
With the help of money, the Red Turban team has developed very smoothly in the capital.
In the past, most of the underground industries of the Money Gang that could be cleansed have been completely cleansed, but there are still some gray industries that maintain underground order.
This part of the industry cannot disappear completely, otherwise the underground industry in the capital will be in chaos, waiting for a new order to emerge.
Rather than experience such turmoil, it is better to continue to hold these orders in hand.
This is Chen Tan's old profession, so having him take charge is tailor-made.
Li Xuan found Chen Tan with familiarity and asked about his current situation.
Ever since Chen Tan joined the Red Scarf Team, he knew that the black cat in front of him was the famous Mo Tiansheng.
Chen Tan had vaguely noticed something was wrong with Li Xuan before, but he never expected that Li Xuan was so outrageous that he could speak.
"Clan Leader Chen, how are you doing with the Red Scarf Team recently?"
Listening to Li Xuan's message, Chen Tan was already used to it.
"Fortunately, the Red Scarf Team is getting stronger now."
The concept of the Red Scarf Team has attracted many people with lofty ideals, including many young talents from various major sports.
After joining the Red Scarf team, there are no big constraints, and you can also have a good reputation.
The red scarf tied around the neck now is worth a lot of face in the world.
It would be even more remarkable if there were a few more bars on his shoulders.
The black and white teams around the capital have to give some face, and even many areas outside the capital have begun to have the reputation of the Red Turban Team.
But as the number of players increases, the difficulty of management also rises.
Li Xuan secretly felt lucky that this part of the work was assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is experienced, especially in internal auditing.
There were some bad guys in the Red Scarf Team, but they were quickly dealt with. This vigorous and resolute style of doing things shocked many people with ulterior motives.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also developed a new spy channel through the Red Scarf Team.
There was no chance to replenish the spies in Jiangnan Road before.
This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to regain the intelligence of Jiangnan Road through the Red Scarf Team.
But this matter is still in the planning stage. It is planned to start the plan together when the southern tour is launched, and then it can also play a role in escorting in secret.
"How is the Jinqian Gang?"
"I'm afraid that Gang Leader Yang has forgotten you?"
Li Xuan teased.
After Yang Wanli became the new leader of the Jinqian Gang, he was very successful.
Even Zhu Wufeng at that time appreciated him very much.
Of course, if Zhu Wufeng had not appreciated Yang Wanli so much, he probably would not have died so quietly.
"It's good that Old Yang has forgotten me." Chen Tan said nonchalantly.
"Since Zhu Wufeng was gone, King Zheng has not sent anyone to the gang, but occasionally someone will come to urge the collection of money and grain."
"They only let us hoard the money and grain first, and didn't say where to transport it. It seems that they are still a little wary of the Money Gang."
Li Xuan couldn't help asking, "Did the branch of the Money Gang really raise money and grain from the local area?"
"Sir, how can it be so easy."
Chen Tan knew that Li Xuan was quite prestigious and could order the flower-clothed eunuchs of the Red Scarf Team, and he knew that his master was Princess Ankang, so he called him Sir.
"King Zheng only said to raise money and grain, but didn't say how much to raise."
Chen Tan spread his hands. He had experience in this kind of thing.
Li Xuan knew as soon as he heard it that this job was fooled by the Money Gang again.
"Okay, tell Yang Wanli to be careful."
"If any news is leaked, I'm afraid King Zheng will not let him go."
After understanding the current situation of the Money Gang, Li Xuan followed Chen Tan to walk around the Red Scarf Team's base.
Now the Red Scarf Team is in high spirits, and the team members entering and leaving the base are in excellent spirits, and there are many unfamiliar faces.
As the Red Scarf Team grows, the street idlers originally hired are not very useful.
But if there are people who are still willing to stay in the Red Scarf Team, they will not refuse.
It's just that if these idlers want to make money, they have to do more good deeds than before.
There is money for doing good deeds, and there are naturally many people willing to do such good deeds.
In addition, the Red Scarf Team has gradually received some requests from the public. The team will divide the levels according to the importance, and then distribute them to the team members, and finally settle the rewards for the tasks.
It's just that the Red Scarf Team is still a pure public welfare organization, and there is no good profit point.
But at the current scale, their expenses can still be supported, so there is no need to worry too much about this matter.
After all, it is difficult to maintain such a pure purpose after the interests are mixed in.
Li Xuan saw that the Red Scarf Team had no use for him, so he looked around and hurried back to the palace.
Since there were no more suitable helpers outside, Li Xuan could only double his focus on his own practice.
It happened that he felt that the true energy in his body had calmed down a lot recently, and he wanted to find Mr. Ye to see if there was any suitable fourth-grade exercises for him to practice.
Yin-Yang exercises were not available for the time being, so it was not impossible to use other fourth-grade exercises first.
The exercises he practiced before had already reached the perfect state unknowingly. Recently, there was no exercise to improve the progress, and he was a little bored.
"I don't know what attribute to practice?"
