Southeast of Chang 'an City, Dunhua Square.
A rich and powerful house.
"Granduncle, Li Zexuan and Dugu Xin just returned to the city!"
In an elegant room deep in the courtyard, a white-clothed man cupped his hands and smiled at the old man.
The green-clothed old man sat on his knees on the couch, leisurely brewing tea. His posture was calm and elegant, neither hurried nor slow. After the tea boiled, he poured himself a cup, then leisurely opened his mouth with a smile: "Oh ~? Xuan Ji, judging from your expression, Li Zexuan and Dugu Xin must have returned in defeat, right? "
The white-clothed man cupped his hands and said, "Granduncle is wise! I heard that the Northern Yamen Imperial Army suffered heavy losses on Snake Spirit Mountain. Li Zexuan probably came back to ask for reinforcements from the Imperial Court! "
The blue-clothed old man put the teacup under his nose and sniffed it. Then, he narrowed his eyes with a satisfied expression.
"Hehe! That was expected! Young people nowadays are like newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. It's good to be impulsive, but if they don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, they will definitely fall down a few times! Xuan Ji, you have to take this as a lesson! "
"Xuan Ji understands. Thank you for your teachings, Granduncle!"
Hearing the old man's endless preaching, the white-clothed man didn't show any impatience on his face. Instead, he seriously cupped his hands and nodded. After a while, he frowned and asked tentatively,
"Granduncle, you don't seem to be optimistic about the Northern Yamen Imperial Army besieging the Seven Cultivators Sect. Xuan Ji doesn't understand. Is the Seven Cultivators Sect really that strong?"
The blue-clothed old man glanced at the young man with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "They might not be strong. However, how can the things in the world be measured simply by strength? Taking advantage of the situation and borrowing the power of others can defeat the strong! And ah ~! Although the Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue Sect is small, it has an extraordinary item! "
"Xuan Ji understands! But what is this extraordinary thing that Granduncle is talking about? "
The old man waved his hand and smiled. "Hehe! I won't tell you now, but you'll know in a few days when the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue is destroyed ~! "
The young man's expression changed as he asked, "Granduncle, didn't you say that you were optimistic about the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue before? Now, why are you claiming that the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue is about to be destroyed? "
"Haha! Oh, you! "
The old man put down the teacup and said with a sigh, "His Majesty has always been a man who likes to make grand achievements. This time, the Imperial Army lost face in front of a small Seven Cultivator of True Virtue and returned in defeat. How could His Majesty not be angry? Before sunset, there will definitely be a general leading at least five thousand elites out of the city ~! Facing the power of the entire Imperial Court, the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue is no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Their destruction is only a matter of time! "
The young man nodded and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, we couldn't borrow the hands of the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue to get rid of Li Zexuan! I heard that the Sect Leader of the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue is a peak Grandmaster Realm expert, but I didn't expect that even he couldn't stop Li Zexuan. It's really annoying ~! "
"Xuan Ji, Granduncle has told you before that the Jianghu is just a bunch of weeds, not enough to make plans ~! Granduncle never expected them to be able to get rid of Li Zexuan in the battle against the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue ~! "
The old man first lectured him earnestly. Then, he smiled and said, "However, it's not like the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue didn't completely fail ~! This time, Li Zexuan brought four thousand Northern Yamen's Imperial Army with him, but he still failed to take down the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue and even suffered heavy casualties. His Majesty is bound to be dissatisfied with him. Once the Emperor's favor falls, what right does Li Zexuan have to oppose us ~? "
The young man smiled and said, "Granduncle is right. It seems that the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue has helped us a lot ~!"
The old man nodded and looked at the young man. "That's true, but we can't completely rely on outsiders ~! Xuan Ji, Granduncle asked you to meet with the other clans to discuss the matter of getting rid of Li Zexuan. How are the arrangements coming along ~? "
The young man's smile disappeared as he cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Granduncle, don't worry. Everything has been arranged properly. Three days later, we'll meet at the Grand Hyatt Restaurant to discuss the matter ~!"
The old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "Good ~! But don't make a fuss ~! His Majesty has been keeping a close eye on the aristocratic families. Don't let him find out that our clans are secretly communicating ~! "
"Xuan Ji understands ~! I'll be very careful ~! "
.....
"Little Xuan, why do you have to put on a brave front ~? Although the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue is protected by the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue Serpent, if His Majesty were to send a large number of troops to attack it, he would definitely be able to take it down in one fell swoop ~! Why do you have to put on a brave front ~? If something were to happen to you, your father and mother would be there, and I, Old Cheng, wouldn't have the face to see them ~! "
On the Vermilion Bird Avenue, Cheng Yaojin stood beside Li Zexuan and nagged at him in disappointment. At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was like an old woman in her seventies or eighties, nagging endlessly.
Li Zexuan didn't mind Cheng Yaojin's nagging because he knew that Cheng Yaojin was truly treating him as his own nephew. He patted Big White's head and turned to Cheng Yaojin seriously.
"Uncle Cheng, I don't want to implicate the other soldiers because of my personal grievances ~! We're all born and raised by our parents, and there's no such thing as who should die for whom ~! The 215 soldiers who died on Snake Spirit Mountain are the biggest mistake I, Li Zexuan, have ever made in my life, and also the biggest guilt in my heart ~!
I'm afraid I won't be able to repay what I owe them in this lifetime ~! A person's life is like a plant's autumn, and living in debt will always make one unhappy. I don't want to owe more debt, so I want to settle the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue's matter by myself ~! "
Cheng Yaojin was stunned in place. At this moment, he thought of those brothers who had sacrificed themselves in the war with him in his early years. Many of them had blocked knives and arrows for him. Therefore, at this moment, his heart was surging with waves and extremely complicated emotions. After a long silence, he patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and sighed.
"Good child, don't blame yourself too much ~! As soldiers of the Great Tang, it's indeed their regret that they didn't die on the battlefield, but serving the emperor's order and repaying his kindness is also the responsibility of a subject and a soldier ~! His Majesty will also compensate them well ~! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Uncle Cheng, although you say that, I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart ~! Although I want to destroy the Seven Cultivators of True Virtue by myself so that the innocent soldiers won't be implicated, I also want to take revenge for the 215 heroic souls with my own hands ~! I know Uncle Cheng is worried that something will happen to me, but you don't have to worry. I never do things that I'm not sure about ~! "
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Heh ~! That's true ~! But this time, your tone is a bit too big. That's a Jianghu sect guarded by a fierce beast comparable to a Great Grandmaster ~! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, do you believe me ~?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Haha ~! Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Laohei, and even His Majesty might think that you're bragging, but I believe you ~! Although you're not willing to tell us the specific methods and methods, how can we, these old fellows, guess your crafty ideas ~? I'll just stay at home and watch the show ~! But if you have anything you need help with, don't be embarrassed to say it because you can't put aside your face ~! "
