In the afternoon, a behemoth landed in the sky above Bailu Academy, it was a giant ship of the imperial court's military department, and there was a group of armored sergeants standing on the deck, and the female Shi Shang Zhuyue was among them, jumping up and falling into the academy, and Li Qingyin and Lin Muzhao and I had also walked out of the holy palace, holding a piece of purple gold divine silk in our hands, and at the other end was holding Baili Mingjie, whose body was suppressed.

"He's Baili Mingjie?"

Shang Zhuyue asked with a glance of her beautiful eyes.

"Exactly. ”

"Hmph, what a Confucian chief disciple, there are at least three digits of the Upper Realm Righteous Dao Monk who died under his sword, it's too cheap for him to let him go back like this!" Shang Zhuyue stepped forward with a kick, kicking Baili Mingjie back a few steps, and said: "This kind of person, digging a pit and burying it is his best destination." ”

I spread my hands: "Actually, I didn't plan to keep him alive, I just used him as a bargaining chip, and now the role of the bargaining chip has appeared, and it can be twenty cities." ”

"Well, let's go. ”

Shang Zhuyue took the end of the Purple Gold Divine Silk, and rushed to the sky with Baili Mingjie like a chicken, and I, Li Qingyin, and Lin Muzhao also flew on the giant ship together, with the burning of the blood spirit crystal, the battleship rumbled, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the boundary-breaking flight, and it had arrived above Wushan in less than an hour.

At this time, Wushan was once again occupied by the Upper Realm Righteous Path, the banners of the Tianxin Empire were flying all over the mountains, the patrolling war horses were hundreds of miles long, and there was the breath of the Titled Sage surging above the clouds, obviously, with the Divine Vine Tree severely hitting the taboos such as Blood Venerable and Confucian Venerable, the offensive of the Land of Exile had weakened a lot, and to a certain extent, it was no longer dominant.

On the top of the mountain, a golden temple lies in the air, the inscription is brilliant, the defense is not bad, this palace is the palace of the Tianxin Empress Dongfang Wan, at this time there are already many ministers, there are at least hundreds of extraordinary generals in the hall, when a few of us step in, immediately attract everyone's attention.

There is admiration in these eyes, there is also vigilance, and more is prudence, the first-class and second-rate gate valve masters from Tianzhou, Yinzhou, Tanzhou and other states have basically come, and they are all together, presumably the deeds of the first battle of Bailu Academy have spread all over the world, and it is impossible for these people not to know who the three of us are.

"You're here......"

Dongfang Wan was wearing a golden and white graceful dress, wearing the crown of the empress, a royal momentum, as soon as she saw us coming, she immediately stepped down the golden steps, her expression was quite kind, a pair of beautiful eyes were shining, and she smiled: "Qingyin Fairy, Muzhao Fairy, Xiaoxuan, this time it is really hard for you, let me go in person." ”

"It's not hard to do things for the right way. Lin Muzhao smiled gracefully.

"That's very good. ”

Dongfang Wan's eyes fell on Baili Mingjie, and said, "You are the most proud disciple of Confucianism, the Baili Mingjie who is known as the first of the five uniques?"

Baili Mingjie was suppressed all over his body, and his momentum was naturally suppressed by the empress of the human race, but he still frowned and said: "If you want to kill, kill it, what do you do if you say so much?"

Dongfang Wan smiled slightly: "He is worthy of being a disciple of Confucianism, his bones are very hard, but it would be a pity to kill you like this, there is no use in keeping you, Zhuyue will put him in the dungeon and extract the exchange city tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Dongfang Wanmu sent Baili Mingjie to be taken away, turned to face the ministers, and said: "After the battle of Wushan, due to my mistakes and errors in judgment, the imperial army was defeated, this is my fault, the demon army in the land of exile is overly murderous, and it is unbearable to encroach on the territory of my Zhongzhou, thanks to the two major academies of Tianfeng Bailu to block the offensive of Confucianism, Blood Zun, and the Four Evils, so that the empire has time to dispatch elite troops, this battle is indispensable, what do you think I should reward them?"

An old minister came out and said: "Your Majesty has rewarded the Buwang Mansion as a first-class gate valve, and gave the Heavenly King a golden plaque, which is enough." ”

"What about the two academies?"

A middle-aged warrior in armor stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although this battle is in Zhongzhou, it is related to the safety of the entire upper realm, the two major academies are in charge, and the blood battle against the demon Dao is so strong that the strength of the academy is seriously damaged, which is embarrassing, just imagine, there are more than hundreds of first-class sects in the upper realm, those titled saints and upper saints have the strength to break through the void ban and enter Zhongzhou within a few days, but no one is willing to come, the two major academies of Tianfeng and Bailu have stepped forward at this time, which is exemplary!"

The speaking warrior stood very forward, a pair of eyes with sparkling brilliance, the whole person's temperament seemed to be a sword hidden in the sheath, if he guessed correctly, he was the head of the ten marshals of the military department - Gu Peng, one of the strongest people in the legendary imperial court military department, with the strength of the title of sword saint, a few years ago, he had insight into the power of the sword path through the ages, and was quite valued by the empress.

Sure enough, Dongfang Wan smiled slightly: "What does Gu Shuai suggest?"

Gu Peng said in a deep voice: "Tianfeng Bailu, can afford the four words of Zhenguo Academy, so, please Your Majesty give the title of Zhenguo Academy to the two academies, one can appease people's hearts, and the other can make meritorious people not be rewarded for their merits.

"Well said!"

Dongfang Qi's eyes shone brightly, and he said with a smile: "Gu Shuai is right, meritorious service should be rewarded, and the two major academies are worthy of the word 'Zhenguo'!"

The rest of the ministers bowed their heads one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Among a group of important ministers, only the official secretary Suo Gu chose to be silent and disapproving of it, and the other was the military secretary Xi Hai, although he hugged his fists and seconded the proposal, but his face was full of complicated colors.

"It seems...... There were a few ministers who were not happy. I said.

Li Qingyin smiled lightly and said: "Suo Gu and Yu Sheng used to be close friends, it is said that they had a good friendship before they became saints, and then you destroyed the Yu Clan, Suo Gu naturally went toe-to-toe with the academy everywhere?"

Lin Muzhao smiled slightly: "As for Xi Hai, he is still the military secretary of the Tianxin Empire, holding the military power of millions of male divisions, but his military power is constantly being divided, among which the emerging forces led by the ten marshals of the military department make Xi Hai very jealous, and the ten marshals led by Gu Peng and Dongfang Qi are dividing Xi Hai's military power little by little, Xi Hai is naturally unwilling, so it is only a matter of time before he chooses to stand in line and stand on Suogu's side, and the open and secret struggle between the new forces and the old faction is much more complicated than we imagined." ”

I nodded, and sighed a little in my heart, Li Qingyin and Lin Muzhao are both cultivators, bent on seeking the way of heaven, but they are also smart women in ice and snow, although they don't understand the affairs of the imperial court, it doesn't mean that they don't understand the mystery, now it seems that they see quite thoroughly, and even see farther than me.

As I expected, the Tianxin Empire is not monolithic, the Dongfang family led by Dongfang Wan sat firmly on the throne of the royal family by virtue of the immortal exploits of Dongfang Yue, the Divine Flame Empress back then, while the rest of the families fought endlessly, and the forces in the court were also divided into two major factions, one faction was the old faction headed by Xi Hai and Suo Gu, and the other was the new force headed by the Hubu Shangshu Zuoxian and the Ten Marshals of the Military Department, and the dispute between the two factions would break out sooner or later in the true sense.

Dongfang Wan obviously knows it, but it is not broken, and the monarchy is nothing more than that, everything is the emperor's technique, and it is just a trade-off.

……

"In that case......

A smile appeared at the corner of Dongfang Wan's mouth, and said: "Chaoyu, I plan to canonize the two academies as Zhenguo Academies, and order the Ministry of Industry to make two jade tablets of Zhenguo Academies with a height of 20 zhang and a width of 3 zhang within ten days and send them to the two academies, so as to show the empire's reliance on the two academies, and in addition, the household department will double the allocation of materials for the two major Zhenguo Academies. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chaoyu obeys. ”

One of the top ten female histories, Zhong Chaoyu wears a cyan Luo skirt, and her figure is too good to speak, but she is an iceberg beauty, standing there like a glacier, so that many men dare not look at her directly.

Dongfang Wan looked at me again and said, "Xiao Xuan, Qingyin Fairy, Muzhao Fairy, tomorrow we will receive twenty Terran cities south of the Northern Wilderness, if you have nothing else to do, just help to receive the cities together, maybe the exiled land is not so easy to die, and it will be a fight for trapped beasts, and the imperial court needs your strength." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Lin Muzhao and Li Qingyin agreed in unison.

I didn't say anything, standing in the column of righteous monks with Lin Muzhao and Li Qingyin, listening to Dongfang Wan's battle arrangements, on the sand table, each small flag represented a 10,000-strong army, densely packed, Tianzhou, The elite troops of Yinzhou and other states have come, and now there are at least millions of troops around Wushan, which can be called the true foundation of the Tianxin Empire, and Dongfang Wan is strategizing, step by step on the sand table, all the way to the north to counterattack, maybe in the near future to recover the whole territory, the army of the exiled land will be driven back into the 100,000 forest sea.

When he was stunned, not far away, an old man walked over, holding a shining giant sword, his skin was like gold, his eyes were full of transcendent brilliance, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Xuan, do you still know the old man?"

"You ......"

I was surprised, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly felt stunned, and said, "You are the senior of Martial Saint Yue Tian?"

"Exactly!"

Yue Tian's height at this time was ten centimeters worse than me, but he was full of Holy Dao charm, and said with a smile: "The old man still thinks that he is an ordinary person, you can't recognize it!"

I took a deep breath: "The Martial Saint Pavilion is amazing, how did the predecessors change into that kind of world-to-earth appearance?"

Yue Tian smiled slightly: "The power of the Martial Saint's Science comes from the divine projection, that is actually the power from the projection of the gods, our past generations of martial saints only practice how to communicate with the gods of the heavens, inherit the will of the gods, and attract the projection of the gods, so that they can naturally incarnate into an invincible martial saint, but the premise of all this is the sanctification of the body." ”

"I see. ”

"There is no war tonight, the old man invites you to tea. ”

"Good!"
