Li Shuangjiang entered the inn tremblingly and saw a young man of 16 or 17 years old, sitting upright behind the table, holding a teacup in his hand and taking a sip of tea:
"Are you the magistrate of Lin'an City?"
"Who are you?"
Li Shuangjiang frowned and asked.
There are many aristocratic families in the northwest. Looking at Liu Xia's clothes and the people accompanying him, he thought that he might not know the children of that aristocratic family.
Because his bodyguards don't look like members of the sect.
Nowadays, the situation of the northwest family is changing, and the once arrogant Liang family has been completely destroyed.
The Su family, Zhang family, and Ouyang family were also implicated.
Who knows what the Xishi clan that remains now will be like in the future?
And if this young man is from a northwest family, he would not dare to offend easily.
At this time, Liu Xia took out a yellow bag from his arms and handed it to Zhao Tiancheng.
Zhao Tiancheng took it in pairs and walked towards Li Shuangjiang.
Li Shuangjiang took the bag and took a look at it. There were five coiled dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread on it, and his heart skipped a beat.
He opened the bag tremblingly and took out a seal. When he looked at it carefully, he almost peed in fear.
"The humble minister was ignorant and did not know that the prince was coming. If he failed to welcome you from afar, he should be punished with death!"
Immediately, Li Shuangjiang kowtowed and shouted hurriedly.
"Haha, I am here just for some private matters, and I have no intention of alarming you, but my dear, you can do me a favor. I wonder if the magistrate is willing to let him pay the king for a few days?"
Liu Xia smiled slightly.
Li Shuangjiang didn't know why his son was arrested. Now that he heard Liu Xia's behavior, he felt very uneasy.
"The dog is young and the servants are neglected. If there is anything that offends the prince, please forgive him."
Li Shuangjiang hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to kill his son.
"Haha, some young people are frivolous. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. Okay, it's getting late today. You all should go back to rest. I don't want anyone to know the news that I am here incognito.
"
Liu Xia said calmly.
"Wei Chen knows, Wei Chen knows. Then Wei Chen resigns."
Immediately, Li Shuangjiang walked out tremblingly.
From what the prince said, his son's life was saved, so he felt a lot more relieved.
After retreating outside the inn, Li Shuangjiang's legs softened and he almost fell to his knees as soon as he went out.
He never dreamed that he would meet Liu Xia here.
He had heard of Liu Xia's reputation.
The first aristocratic family in the northwest like the Liang family must be eradicated. How can he, a small county magistrate, afford an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans?
Even the current chief envoy to the northwest looks like Sun Tzu when he sees Liu Xia.
"Sir, are you okay?"
At this time, several government officials hurriedly helped him up and asked.
",Why was Tianyi arrested?"
Li Shuangjiang frowned and drank.
When the officials saw that the normally gentle gentleman was so angry, they knew that the matter must be serious and that he dared to hide it, so they roughly went through what happened.
After Li Shuangjiang heard this, his vision suddenly went dark and he fainted.
——————————————————————————
In the early morning, Liu Xia's motorcade left Lin'an City and set off towards the Shangqing Palace.
It was already morning when we arrived outside the mountain gate of Shangqing Palace.
The sky in May is cloudless, the breeze is gentle, and it is extremely comfortable.
When he arrived outside the mountain gate, Liu Xia asked the guards following him to retreat outside.
He took Caiwei, Yao Wenxin, Dabao and Yixin with him and headed towards the mountain gate.
At this moment, there were two disciples on duty standing outside the mountain gate. When they saw Liu Xia, one of them hurried back to report.
Liu Xia looked up and saw that the Shangqing Palace was extremely quiet today, obviously as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
At this time, Liu Xia's eyes fell on the edge of Jiejian Pond on one side.
I remember that when he first came here, he and Dabao still spent a lot of effort here before successfully going up the mountain.
Naturally, Liu Xia was not prepared to give them a good face today.
At this time, Liu Xia heard a burst of panicked footsteps. Immediately, about four to five hundred disciples of the Qing Palace descended from the steps. In an instant, they stood neatly under the mountain gate.
However, the person who came out to greet him this time was not the old immortal Chongxu. His injuries were serious and he probably wouldn't be able to recover now.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, it turns out that the prince is coming here. I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar."
The leader was an old Taoist priest who looked to be in his early sixties, with a face that looked as good as a human being or an animal, and bowed his waist and said with a faint smile.
As the saying goes, if you can't hit the smiling person, Liu Xia said with double words on his back: "Forgive me, I wonder where Taoist Master Chongxu is?"
"Haha, poor Taoist Yunxu, our headmaster Chongxu is not feeling well, so he cannot come out to greet you. Please also invite the prince to come to the main hall to watch tea."
Taoist priest Yunxu smiled slightly.
When Liu Xia heard that he was from the Xu family and was at least a great elder in the Shangqing Palace, he said coldly: "No hurry, bring him here."
At this time, Zhao Tiancheng came over with Li Tianyi who was tied up like a rice dumpling and threw it directly to the ground.
"Uncle Grand Master, please help, they are going to kill me."
Li Tianyi was imprisoned all night. He knew that his father had come in person but did not rescue him. He already knew in his heart that he had offended someone he could not afford to offend.
Now that I opened my eyes and arrived at the Shangqing Palace, I naturally grabbed this life-saving straw and howled like a slaughtered pig.
"You evildoer, shut up!"
When Yunxu saw him, he broke into a cold sweat.
When Chongxu came back from the Liang family, he was seriously injured and dying.
It took a lot of effort to save his life.
Later I found out that it was Liu Xia who did it.
Chongxu knew that Liu Xia was still in the northwest, so he knew that the matter of detaining Jian Yunzong's elder could no longer be suppressed.
With Liu Xia's character and this incident, new and old grudges will definitely come to settle the matter with them in the Qing Palace.
Therefore, during this period, the entire Shangqing Palace was as crowded as a formidable enemy. All the disciples who were wandering outside were summoned back and the gates were closed tightly for fear of causing trouble.
Today, Liu Xia is a prince and a member of the imperial court.
If he doesn't have any evidence, he can't interfere in matters between sects.
Therefore, I am not afraid of what will happen to Liu Xia.
However, despite all precautions, Liu Xia was given an excuse. Now, things got tricky.
A line of sweat broke out on Yunxu's forehead. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I wonder if Tianyi is an accomplice to you, Your Highness?"
"Haha, I came here today just to ask you for help from the Shangqing Palace. This kid molested my subordinates in broad daylight. What are you going to do about this?"
Liu Xia asked coldly.
When Yunxu heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"You beast, how dare you act so boldly? Come on, drag me to death!"
At that moment, two disciples from Shangqing Palace came up, ready to rectify Li Tianyi's law.
Liu Xia stood directly in front of Li Tianyi and said disdainfully: "Killing him is killing someone and silencing him? I think your Shangqing Palace is also a place where filth and evil are hidden. I am here today just to take a look at you."
Does Shangqing Palace deserve the title of the No. 1 sect in the northwest?"
Yunxu knew that Liu Xia was deliberately looking for trouble.
If it were before, they would have nothing to fear.
At worst, contact the northwest sect and put pressure on the court.
But now, it has become a private matter between Liu Xia and their Shangqing Palace, which is troublesome.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. We can discuss it if we have anything to say."
Yunxu laughed hastily.
"Discuss? How to discuss?"
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"Well, it's up to you, Your Majesty. We will obey His Majesty's decree in everything."
At this moment, Yunxu just wanted to turn the big thing into a small one, so he just let it go and hurriedly compromised.
"Me? That's easy to do. I want you to chop up the plaque of the Shangqing Palace hanging outside the Taixu Hall!"
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
When Yunxu heard this, he already knew that Liu Xia would not give up this time.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, it turned out to be like this. I have no choice but to learn from the prince's divine power and set up a formation!"
With an order, the disciples of Shangqing Palace outside the mountain gate immediately formed a formation and surrounded Liu Xia and the others.
Liu Xia had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I will personally take down your sign today!"
"Amitabha! Consider me a poor monk!"
The sound of the Buddha's chant was like thunder from the sky, making people's eardrums buzz without stopping.
At this moment, Dabao took a step forward. The golden flames in his eyes were overwhelming, and his body was instantly covered by a layer of golden armor. The martial arts master's aura suddenly spread in all directions, forcing Yunxu to take two steps back.
.
"Ah! Grandmaster's cultivation!!"
Yunxu was dumbfounded at this moment. The last time this monk came, he was only at the peak of the master level. He didn't expect that in less than a year, he would reach the master level.
However, this is not what he fears the most, the one he fears the most is Liu Xia on one side.
Chongxu's injury was not serious. Although he didn't have the nerve to explain it, Yunxu still knew that he was injured by Liu Xia.
He knows Chongxu's cultivation the best.
When Liu Xia was in the Shangqing Palace, he was beaten by Chongxu and ran away in embarrassment. However, now that Chongxu is no longer his opponent, one can imagine how perverted Liu Xia has become.
"Wen Xin, Cai Wei, please step back first. We are more than capable of dealing with these old bastards."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Caiwei and Yao Wenxin took a few steps back and left the battle circle.
"Come, let me see what new tricks your Taixu Formation has. Also let me see what your so-called No. 1 sect in the northwest is capable of!"
Liu Xia smiled slightly.
"Hmph, that's too much to bully. Watch your moves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword instantly appeared in Yunxu. The disciples behind him immediately transferred their spiritual power to him and roared: "Yingbo Xiaolan!"
Immediately, the vast spiritual power rushed straight towards Liu Xia like a tidal wave.
The last time they broke into the mountain, there were only a few dozen people in formation. This time, Shangqing Palace was fighting a last-ditch battle, and all the disciples within the sect who were good at cultivation were recalled.
With more than two hundred people forming an array at the same time, the power can be imagined.
Even Liu Xia was slightly startled, and Dabao and he immediately retreated.
