Chapter 75 The thoughts of the five kings of the Li family
"Sir, do you want to recruit more people?"
Hearing this, the old mother hurriedly whispered.
"Manpower? Are you saying that I can't even handle Qingfeng Gambling House?" Qin Liu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Young ones don't dare!"
"Wait for the news!"
After saying that, Qin Liu stood up, flicked his sleeves and left the dark pavilion.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency..."
........
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and in a very large mansion directly south of Chang'an City, five people are sitting opposite each other, enjoying the excitement of changing glasses.
They are none other than Li Chen's five royal brothers.
If Li Chen saw this scene, he would definitely feel extremely disappointed.
As brothers, the five kings will always be in the same circle, and it is impossible for him to blend into it.
"Brother, the Emperor is going to Lishan Mountain for hunting in a few days. Should we do anything else?"
One of them, a majestic man dressed in fine clothes, raised his wine cup and frowned.
The person who spoke was the second among the five kings of the Li family, King Rongyang Li Yang.
"That's right, eldest brother...the Emperor loves Concubine Yang very much. If things continue like this...our Li family may..."
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, an old man next to him took over.
He is the third king among the five kings, King Xue Li Juan.
"What to do? What else can we do..."
After scanning the four brothers, the old man at the head shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
He is Li Chen's eldest brother, Li Yuan, King of Le'an.
The current situation in the court is complicated. Yang Guozhong and An Lushan are powerful, and their Li family is getting weaker and weaker... Not to mention the five of them, even the son who was granted the title of king by the emperor has gradually faded out of the power struggle.
.
"us....."
Hearing this...the other four kings were speechless for a moment.
It seems that they really can't do anything. Although they are worth two thousand households, they don't have much real power in their hands, let alone control the troops.
There were eight legions in the Tang Dynasty.
They are Heshuo Army, Shuofang Army, Longyou Army, Hexi Army, Jiannan Army, Anxi Army, Beiting Army, and Lingnan Army.
Among them, Heshuo County in Anlu Mountain was the strongest, followed by Gao Xianzhi's Anxi Army, and Yang Guozhong's Jiannan Army ranked third.
These eight legions were either controlled by An Lushan or directly served the emperor and Yang Guozhong. The kings of the Li family did not control any of them.
"Brother... We can't go further than the court. Can we think of a way in the arena? If we can control a super powerful force in the arena, we dare not say that we can compete head-on with Yang Guozhong, An Lushan and other favorite ministers.
, but at least we can save some face.”
After a long time, Xue Wang Li Juan broke the dead silence.
"The Jianghu forces?"
Li Yuan couldn't help but shake her head again,
"The Sumeru Mountain controlled by An Lushan, the bad people of the Emperor, and the Tianyin Sect of Yang Guozhong have divided the entire world into three parts. Among these three forces, we are as high as the clouds. How can we be opponents? The most powerful disciple in your brother's house is also
The early stage of the seventh grade."
"Brother, having said that, there has been a lot of commotion in the world recently and the situation has changed. Maybe we can fight for it."
Hearing this, Li Juan hurriedly spoke again.
"Oh, has the situation changed? There is a conflict between these three major forces?"
Li Yuan leaned forward, quite excited.
These three major factions are of equal strength and are evenly matched. They check each other and rarely have large-scale conflicts. This is to prevent the snipe and the clam from fighting each other!
"No, but a new force has recently emerged in the world."
Li Juan lowered his voice,
"Recently, a restaurant has popped up in the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, called Yibo House... This restaurant is very powerful. Not only does Wang Changling, a mid-eighth grade poet demon swordsman, work for it, but also Qinglian layman Li Taibai.
In it.”
"What? Qinglian layman Li Taibai? Hasn't he been living in seclusion in Shushan? How could..."
As soon as these words came out, the other four kings all looked at Li Juan.
Looking at the entire world, the only ones who are not afraid of the three major religious places are layman Qinglian and the mysterious poet saint, but these two are the kind of masters who do not care about worldly affairs.
It is hard to imagine that Lay Buddhist Qinglian would suddenly descend from the mountain.
"I don't know the specific reason, but what is certain is... layman Qinglian is here to take charge of Yibo Tower."
Li Juan picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"If this is really the case, wouldn't the entire world be divided into four?"
When Li Yuan came back to his senses, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he already understood what Lao San meant.
"Well! Now the three major religions have begun to secretly search for the Poet Saint. Whoever can recruit the Poet Saint will become the most powerful force in the world. However, the Poet Saint disappeared three years ago. It is so difficult to find him. Therefore, in a short time
, it is inevitable that the world will be divided into four parts. As long as we can build a relationship like Yi Bo Lou, maybe..."
Li Juan expressed his thoughts.
"Is it related to Yibo Tower? Who is the owner of Yibo Tower?"
Li Yuan frowned.
"Brother, the name of the owner of Yibo Tower is Xue Song. He is a mid-seventh-grade master."
"Third brother, your idea is good. But since Yi Bolou can invite layman Qinglian, there must be someone behind the scenes. As you just said, Xue Song is only a seventh-grade master. With his strength, he can't shock you."
There is a supreme master like the layman Qinglian."
After stroking his beard, the second child, Li Yang, shook his head.
Although he didn't know much about Jianghu, he knew from the first listen that Yibo Tower was not that simple.
"Second brother, this is really not certain!"
Li Juan turned around and looked around, and whispered.
"Not necessarily? Is it possible that you know the real mastermind behind Yibo Building? Can Yibo Building really stand with us?"
The four kings immediately became interested.
"Although the whole world is speculating on the master behind Yibo Tower, I have discovered many clues. The master of Yibo Tower is most likely Xue Song."
"Xue Song? How do you say this?"
"Brother, I don't know. The original owner of Yibo Tower is named Qin Fang. Although this person's strength is generally only fifth grade, his identity is..."
Li Juan sold a pass.
"Lao San, hurry up and say it!"
The second child, Li Yang, was impatient and urged immediately.
"By the way, Qin Fang is the descendant of Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Song is not an unknown person. He is the direct grandson of Xue Rengui, the king of the founding dynasty."
After a pause, Li Juan spoke.
"Ah? Them?"
Li Yuan fell into deep thought and said again after a long time,
"Third brother, you mean that Yi Bo Lou is a force supported by the descendants of the fierce generals who founded the Tang Dynasty?"
"That's right! Decades ago when the empress ascended the throne, the founding generals were greatly squeezed and suppressed and gradually withdrew from the court. However, they were not incompetent. The appearance of Yi Bo Lou this time is likely to be Ling Yan.
The descendants of the twenty-four heroes of the Pavilion will rise again.
The most important thing is...the descendants of these founding generals are extremely loyal to our Li family."
Li Juan tapped the table with his fingers, feeling very sure.
"According to the third brother's speculation, it is really possible for us to win the support of Yibolou!"
After a while,
The boss Li Yuan, who was leaning on the back of the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and already had a plan in mind.
