Chapter 141: Arriving in the North
But after thinking about it again, Jiang Ling didn't necessarily really want to cooperate with the Nightmare Clan, but just wanted to test Jiang Xueyan's loyalty to the royal family.
So Jiang Xueyan chose to shake her head, she wrote: "This can't be done, with the current situation on the mainland, our cooperation with the Nightmare Clan will definitely make the situation on the mainland more tense." ”
Now the situation on the continent is very complicated, the Spirit Cloud Sect already has the ability to unify the continent, the Nightmare Clan has done it, although it has not fully recovered to the peak, but it will not take too long to let it develop.
As the master of the continent in the eyes of ordinary people, although the imperial family was inferior to the Lingyun Sect in the realm of cultivators, its achievements in other fields were far superior to those of the Lingyun Sect.
In general, now on the bright side of the continent, there is the rapid development of the Lingyun Sect, becoming the number one sect, with the strength to unify the continent, and there is the rapidly developing Nightmare Clan in the dark.
Now the nominal dominance of the continent, the position of the royal family is very embarrassing, say that they are the dominance of the continent, the strength is not enough, but it can be said that they are not, and the status of the people is there.
This kind of scene can only be temporary, and any force, whether it is the business world, the political world, or the sect, will find ways to improve its strength as much as possible, and the Lingyun Sect will not be an exception.
The current situation is that on the surface, the royal family and the Lingyun Sect contain each other and develop together, and secretly the Lingyun Sect is preparing to unify, the royal family is trying to stop it, and the Nightmare Clan is developing rapidly and is ready to join this battle.
In other words, the current situation on the mainland is still three-legged, but one side has achieved a strength far beyond the other two, and the other side has the highest status among other circles on the mainland.
As for the last party, it was once glorious, and now it is not as good as it used to be, but there is a great possibility that it will return to its former strength, and it will only take time.
The current policy adopted by the royal family is to buy time for the Nightmare Clan first, let them develop for a while, and when they can compete with the Lingyun Sect, they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The measures taken by the Spirit Cloud Sect are unclear now, but if they want to break the situation laid down by the Imperial Clan, they must be brought down before the Nightmare Clan grows up.
Of course, theoretically speaking, there is another way to destroy the Imperial Clan before the Nightmare Clan grows up, but in that case, when they face the Nightmare Clan in the future, they will definitely not be as strong as they are now.
In this case, they may not be able to unify the continent, and it is even very likely that they will be cheaper than the Nightmare Clan, or they may lose both sides and cheapen others.
Jiang Ling didn't think so now, he didn't think that the Spirit Cloud Sect had the ability to abolish the Nightmare Clan in a short period of time, so he felt that these things should only happen after he succeeded to the throne.
So he thought of a better way, uniting with the Nightmare Clan, taking the lead in defeating the Lingyun Sect, and then deciding whether to turn against the Nightmare Clan according to the situation.
Anyway, when the time comes, the royal family's losses will definitely be smaller than the nightmare clan, isn't this nonsense, the Lingyun Sect is all cultivators who go to the battlefield, what is the matter with the royal family sending soldiers up?
If it really starts like this, then on the side of the royal family and the nightmare clan, the greater loss will definitely be the nightmare clan, and the royal family will lose a little money at most, which is not very important.
As for deciding whether to turn against the Nightmare Clan depending on the situation, the situation is much more complicated, and it must depend on whether the Nightmare Clan is willing to assist him.
This method is indeed the best way, but now the leader of the Nightmare Clan is Guo Chen, who is smarter than Jiang Ling, and he should also know these things, so he must find a way to get him to agree.
So there is the current scene, if you want the Nightmare Clan and the royal family to cooperate, you must get Guo Chen, and the easiest and most direct way to get Guo Chen is to marry.
But as Jiang Xueyan said, once this matter spreads, the situation on the mainland will definitely change dramatically, and it is good if it succeeds, if it fails, then Jiangling will be a sinner for the ages.
"You don't need to worry about this, even after I saw that letter in the dungeon, I learned that the royal family had cooperated with the Nightmare Clan before, as long as it was concealed well, it would not have an impact. ”
Jiang Ling took the pen in Jiang Xueyan's hand again, wrote down these words, showed them to Jiang Xueyan, and then lit them with a candle on the side and threw them into the incense burner on the side.
Speaking of which, there are really not many candles in this palace now, most of them are illuminated by spiritual weapons, but it is only because Jiang Xueyan personally does not like to use spiritual weapons for lighting, so there are candles.
As soon as Jiangling finished processing the piece of paper, a figure appeared at the door, and as Jiang Xueyan expected, the person who came was Ning Zhi, because he didn't wait for Jiangling today, so he wanted to take a look by himself.
As a result, they saw Jiang Ling when they entered the door, and then the three of them began to talk about some of the things that were not there, but Jiang Xueyan did not open her mouth a few times during the whole process, and she was still thinking about what Jiang Ling said just now.
Because the two of them were here, Jiang Xueyan didn't dare to send a message, so she could only decide what she should do, and now she seems to have a problem with whether she agrees or not, and she really doesn't know what to do.
On the other side, now Guo Chen and the others have arrived near the northern city wall, in order to isolate themselves from the ruling range of the imperial family, the two sides have joined forces to build a city wall at the border that almost spans the north of the continent.
To enter the north, one must first pass through this pass, and the entire city wall, with only one entrance, is in the center, except from here, there is no passage connecting the northern tribes with the rest of the region.
They were now near the entrance, and they were queuing up for inspection, and there were probably four or five people in front of them, who were supposed to be here to do business, but as for what kind of business, no one knew.
Soon they had already finished the examination, and it was Guo Chen's turn to conduct the examination, and the first to be examined was Wang She, who was the fastest among the three and was the most suitable to be the first to be examined.
"Stand still, who is it, what are you doing, how many are there with you?"
One of the guards said in his strong northern accent, while the other had already begun to check if there was anything on Wang She that he couldn't bring.
"The latter two are with me, and Mr. Luo asked us to come. ”
When Wang She said this, he also had a strong northern accent, which surprised Guo Chen and Guan Ying, but after thinking about it, people don't know how many bodies they have changed, and it is understandable that they will know more things.
Not only did the two of them not hear the flaw, but even the guards, who were still hostile just now, began to chatter with him, saying, "You are also a northerner?"
"That's right, I used to follow Mr. Luo to leave the north to do business, and I happened to have a business to come to the north to discuss, so I thought about coming back to have a look, and I haven't been back for a long time. ”
Seeing his attitude, Wang She decided to use the identity of a northerner to talk to them for the time being, and at present, this identity is really useful, at least they will not be hostile.
"What you just said about Mr. Luo, could it be Mr. Luo Wenxiang?"
In the north, Luo Wenxiang is a saint-like existence, and without him, the development of the north would not be so fast, so they respect Luo Wenxiang very much.
Not to mention anything else, Luo Wenxiang's status in the north is much higher than Jiang Hanhai, if the two of them come to the north together, it is Luo Wenxiang who can not be inspected, not Jiang Hanhai.
Wang She nodded, and before he could speak, another guard took the lead and said, "I didn't find any suspicious items, you can go to the next level." ”
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, Wang She really reacted the fastest, and asked: "What's next, if it's so troublesome to go in now, I remember that it wasn't so complicated before?"
The guard who spoke to him at the beginning replied, "This is a new rule that was established not long ago, there are three inspections in total, so you should go first." ”
If this were Guo Chen, he would definitely not ask like this, in case this rule was established a hundred and eighty years ago, he asked like this, what is it not looking for death?
However, I don't know if they were lucky, or if Wang She was still in the north not long ago, anyway, the final result was good, and the three of them entered the city gate and came to the second place for inspection.
The four or five people just now are also being inspected, but their speed is very fast, they just put their hands on a round ball, and they go directly, but it is estimated that the three of them are not good.
The three of them all know this thing, and the Nine Star Academy also has a lot of this thing, and the royal family is the same, this is a spiritual weapon used to test spiritual power, but the upper limit is only seven levels of human level, and the name is called spiritual power ball.
Although it is only like this, it is already a very good spirit weapon, especially under the superb spirit weapon forging technology in the north, the upper limit of these spirit weapons may be higher.
Wang She was the first to step forward, and under the guidance of the guards, he put his hand on the spiritual power ball, and the moment his hand touched the spiritual power ball, a strong spiritual power fluctuation swept through the entire city gate.
When it was first built, in order to avoid the strong from jumping over directly, the city wall was built very thick, and the passage behind the city gate was naturally very long, and the last two of the three levels were in the passage behind the city gate.
Suddenly, he received such a powerful spiritual power impact, and directly blew the spiritual power ball to pieces, and the spiritual power he had absorbed directly exploded, sweeping the entire passage, attracting the attention of many guards.
"Earth Level, such a powerful spiritual power, what are you doing here?"
Although I don't know how strong Wang She's specific strength is, judging from the fact that the spiritual power ball can't withstand it and explodes, at least it has the spiritual power of the ground level.
A strong man of this level has rarely appeared in the north, at least here in the city gate, and the last time it appeared was when Ning Yuan sent the northern leader back to the north.
It has been almost 20 years since then, and it is really difficult not to doubt that another one has suddenly appeared, or now that the situation on the mainland has begun to be turbulent.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we were sent by Mr. Luo to do business, during this time, because of the affairs of the old city, we have not come to buy spiritual weapons for a long time, and now the inventory is already a little insufficient. ”
Guo Chen directly used the illusion technique to make Wang She say such a thing according to his instructions, just looking at the performance of the guard just now, speaking with a northern accent, many things will be much more convenient.
"Since it's Mr. Luo's person, it doesn't need to be so cumbersome, please go to the back with me directly. ”
As soon as he heard Wang She's words, a person next to him who was dressed obviously different from those guards stood up and said such a thing, it seemed that his status should be much higher than that of these guards.
Under Guo Chen's instructions, Wang She agreed, and then the three of them followed that person to the third and final level.
In the process, he introduced himself, his name is Zhang Shen, and he is the son of the leader of the northern tribe, which is equivalent to the identity of Jiangling in the royal family.
However, unlike Gangneung, he is not a crown prince and will not inherit the position of leader in the future, but he is a prince who is not very favored.
