"Childe, shouldn't we talk openly and honestly?" As soon as he walked into Gongzijun's exclusive room, Zhan Bai went straight to the point and explained his intentions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sir?!" Gongzi Jun obviously didn't expect Zhan Bai to ask so bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth, and for a while, he didn't know how to speak, "Sir, please take a seat first." ”

Zhan Bai was not polite, and Shi Shiran sat down after finding a position to go down.

That's what makes a strategist special.

Strategists belong to the civil bureaucracy, but they are extremely special. The size of power is no longer judged by official position, but by real ability.

An incompetent strategist is not even as tall as a guard, and can only play the role of a steward. And a capable strategist, once he wins the trust of the lord, can even become the prime minister of cloth.

On the other hand, what distinguishes a strategist from a civilian official is his flexibility. Because it is not bound by official positions, it can be used anywhere and at any time, so as to have the miraculous effect of eliminating the gaps.

Obviously, judging from Gongzijun's attention and trust in Zhanbai, Zhanbai's status as a strategist is undoubtedly very high. In this way, for the vast majority of the time, there is no need to care too much about the identity of Gongzijun.

"The lonely king is dull, and I hope that Mr. will teach you." Since he couldn't figure out a clue for a while, Gongzi Jun could only kick the ball back to Zhanbai.

"It's mainly two-fold." Zhan Bai thought for a while, "Let's talk about the rules of the Spring and Autumn Continent first." ”

In fact, since Zhanbai agreed to the recruitment of Gongzi Jun in the blessed land of Xuejing, until now, he has more or less known some rules, but they are not comprehensive.

Before, because he didn't have a personal experience, he didn't care too much, but since he entered the Spring and Autumn Continent, Zhanbai found that he had to figure out the rules here as soon as possible, and only in this way could he adapt to it as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if you encounter such a thing as assassination again, I am afraid that you will not have the same good luck as the last time.

"The lonely king is also about to tell Mr. in detail about this." Childe Jun nodded, and after organizing the language a little, he talked eloquently.

This matter has to start with the ancient battle of the gods.

At that time, the Great Shang Empire was strong, and after dozens of generations of emperors, it had reached its peak in the Dixin generation.

Jiuzhou is unified, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the scenery of a prosperous era is a group.

It is said that human * is endless, and it is precisely because of this that Di Xin's ambition was also born, and he even had the intention of competing with the heavenly court.

Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with that.

As an emperor through the ages, Di Xin has great ambitions, but after all, he only rules the mortal world. And above Jiuzhou, there is also a heavenly court that is high up and considers itself a god.

It is said that the emperor sits in a row and comes to my house today. Di Xin, who was already at the top of the ninety-five, was naturally unwilling to be just a mortal creature who ruled the land of Jiuzhou, so he began to provoke the heavenly court.

On the other hand, thinking about the high heavenly court, naturally no one will be allowed to challenge the authority, so the war of the gods is about to break out.

In fact, the battle of the gods is not a one-sided crush. At the beginning of the war, the Great Shang Dynasty relied on the power of Jiuzhou, where all the people were soldiers, and even slightly outperformed the Heavenly Court. It's a pity that Heavenly Court can rule for tens of thousands of years, and its heritage is unimaginable to ordinary people. It was only because of the slackening of war preparedness due to a long period of peace, coupled with the innate arrogance of superiority, that he suffered a lot of losses at first, but in the end he still survived the most difficult time.

As a result, the scales of war began to tangle and eventually turned into a tug-of-war.

Originally, at this time, the Great Shang Emperor could at least win an undefeated situation, but unexpectedly......

As the saying goes, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within, and this is very appropriate when applied to the Great Shang Empire.

Just when the two sides were in a tug-of-war, Di Xin never imagined that Heavenly Court would suddenly use despicable and filthy means to send people to infiltrate the land of Jiuzhou, and with his incorruptible tongue and a list of gods, he persuaded many capable people to defect on the verge of battle.

This move can be described as not vicious, and it almost slashed seven inches above the Great Shang Empire in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the building was about to collapse, and the Great Shang Empire was defeated like a mountain, and it was destroyed in internal and external troubles in just a dozen years.

After this battle, the Great Shang Empire fell, and the Heavenly Court was not comfortable. In order to prevent trouble, the Jade Emperor held a jade ruler and waved it continuously on the territory of Jiuzhou, and finally split up, becoming the current picture based on different planes.

Not only that, but the methods of the Heavenly Court were to impose one hundred and ten heavenly rules on the Spring and Autumn Continent where the Song of the Great Shang Empire was located, turning them into layers of rules, in order to prevent the resurgence of the remnants of the Great Shang.

It was those 100 Heavenly Strips that made it completely different from the other eight continents now—the Spring and Autumn Continent.

After saying the reason, without waiting for Zhan Bai to ask, Gongzi Jun began to elaborate on the rules.

"If you want to talk about these 100 rules, you have to start with the difference between civil and military." Gongzi Jun first took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before continuing.

In the Spring and Autumn Continent, there are many princes, each claiming to be the king. Above the court, there are civil servants and military generals, and there are rangers and assassins in the green forests. Of course, in addition, for the natives of the Spring and Autumn Continent, there are also royal families and commoners.

Needless to say, the royal family is the royal family of all the princes, but not all people from the royal family can enjoy it. Some of them are similar to the heaven-given exhibition veins, and there are also lineages and side branches. Needless to say, the lineage can be born with royal laurels. As for the side branches, they can only be qualified for three generations, and after three generations, they will be reduced to literature and martial arts, and it is unknown whether they will become rangers and assassins.

As for the common people, it is easy to say that this group accounts for more than seventy percent of the population of the Spring and Autumn Continent, cultivating and cultivating, while relying on physical strength and wisdom to support the various ruling classes, and on the other hand, they also have to unconditionally serve in the military and labor. Needless to say, the former seems to be hard, but it also gives these civilians the opportunity to be cautious, and once they have established their merits, they can even rise to the top and enter the class of civil and military doctors. Of course, there are also so-called unscrupulous people among the common people, who live in the green forest and become rangers or even assassins.

From this, it can be seen that the two classes of the royal family and the commoners actually have great flexibility.

On the other hand, once the civil servants, military generals, rangers, and assassins are selected, there is no possibility of getting out, unless they ...... Leave the Spring and Autumn Continent.

This hierarchical division, which is completely different from the other eight continents, is actually inherited from the Great Shang Dynasty of the year. From this, it is not uncommon to see the prosperity of the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty back then, even if it suffered from the blockade of the Heavenly Rules, it was still difficult to pry its foundation in the slightest.

Since the foundation cannot be leveraged, it can only be limited in other ways.

First of all, it is forbidden to be empty.

Losing air supremacy, the Spring and Autumn Continent lost the capital to resist the Heavenly Court, making the Heavenly Court invincible.

Secondly, it is to make great efforts to transform the environment of the Spring and Autumn Continent, and under the premise that it is difficult to change the proportion of Xuanhuang Qi and Hongmeng Qi, suppress the Huanghuang righteousness in Xuanhuang Qi and stimulate the violence in Hongmeng Qi.

Don't underestimate this small change, the so-called pulling a hair affects the whole body, the environment affects people's hearts, and even shakes the essence of metaphysical cultivation and demon cultivation. As a result, whenever a fight is fought, it will be several times or even dozens of times more tragic.

The acceleration of Xuan power, demon power, true yuan, and even the speed of energy and physical consumption has made the invincible courage of ten thousand people become a myth. No matter how high your cultivation is, you must be afraid that ants will bite and kill the elephant.

It is precisely because the brilliant righteousness in the Xuanhuang Qi is suppressed that the Xuanwen Array has faded its mysterious color and become dispensable. As a result, the Xuanling Treasure Weapon with the Xuanwen Array as the cornerstone naturally became much less effective. On the contrary, weapons made of special materials, even if they are shoddy, as long as they are strong and durable, they are more popular.

Gongzi Jun stated the rules one by one, and after Zhanbai sorted them out, he quickly came to a conclusion.

"To put it simply, under the rules of these Spring and Autumn Continents, people like us who are either Xuan Xiu or Demon Cultivators have become more like martial arts boxers in the mortal world. Magical powers and privileges may not be unusable, but the direct attack of the fist to the flesh is more suitable for this environment. Zhan Bai pondered for a moment and concluded.

"Even if you don't win, it's not far away. After all, the so-called martial arts masters in the ordinary world do not have the ability to open mountains and crack rocks, or even reclaim forests. Pull one out at random, and it has a thousand powers. Gongzi Jun corrected.

"Well, that's all for now. Next, Childe can talk about his situation in detail. Zhanbai didn't dwell too much on this issue, but moved on to the topic that he was more concerned about.

Gongzijun's situation is not good, before coming to the Spring and Autumn Continent, Zhanbai already knew. But the cruel reality told him again and again that it was still far overestimated.

Let's not talk about the prince of a country, before the dust settles, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the prince, but he only recruited only five people. It's just that as soon as he entered the Spring and Autumn Continent, he was inexplicably attacked, and the harsh living environment of Gongzi Jun can be seen.

Those demon cultivators and assassins I met before, if they said that no one instructed them, I am afraid that a fool would not believe it.

Because Zhanbai has just entered the Spring and Autumn Continent, his eyes are black, and he naturally can't figure out who is behind the scenes, but Gongzi Jun, as the initiator, if he is also ignorant, he really can't say anything.

Zhan Bai asked, in fact, he also wanted to indirectly learn the information of Gongzi's opponent.

As a strategist, if you don't even know who your lord's enemies are, you are really incompetent.

"I hope Mr. forgive me, the reason why I didn't say it clearly before was really because of the gains and losses. I'm afraid that after Mr. learns everything, he will regret it. However, now it is different, since he has entered the Spring and Autumn Continent, the Lone King naturally does not dare to say anything to hide. Gongzi Jun was also frank, slightly apologetically said the reason why he deliberately avoided the topic before, and peeked at Zhanbai and was not angry, so he put his mind at ease.

After all, if you talk about it, Gongzijun's method is really not too glorious.

"Let's start with the external environment. At present, there are eight countries in the Spring and Autumn Continent. I have told my husband before, except that the Zhongshan Kingdom was founded not long ago, and its power was weak, so in order to recuperate, it married in a big way in order to protect itself. Although the other seven countries have grievances with each other, their hatred is very different. Among them, Qi and Qin fought for hegemony, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and Zhao, Wei, and Han brothers killed each other. In this way, the one who has the greatest hatred with my Chu State is the Han State. As the prince of Chu State, King Gu naturally has the qualifications to enter the must-kill list of the Han State. "After all, it is about his own safety, and Gongzi Jun introduced it in great detail.

"If the previous rangers and assassins were hired by outsiders, then the suspicion of the Han Kingdom is undoubtedly the greatest." Having said that, looking at Gongzi Jun's expression that he didn't particularly attach importance to, it was obvious that he didn't have a high degree of trust in this possibility, and then he saw that his voice changed, and his face became unusually gloomy, "And if you find the murderer behind the scenes from within the Chu State, it will be too much." ”

"Although the lonely king is not the son of the Chu Kingdom, he is the one who is least valued by his father, and the reason is that above me, there are three ambitious brothers, each of whom can be called eloquent. Of course, the throne is also quite important. The so-called Wang family has no family affection, and for the sake of the supreme power, it is too normal for brothers to kill each other. ”

"In this way, Childe is suspicious, this assassination is very likely to be said by the three princes?" Zhan Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was expressionless.

"At least they're the most suspicious." Childe Jun did not deny it.

"Anything else?" Zhan Bai nodded.

"Naturally, and arguably countless. The gate lord is even a Chinese martial artist, but anyone who is attached to my three brothers' disciples may secretly send people to do it under the banner of sharing worries for the Lord. ”

"Exclusion of dissidents? Isn't this a partisan struggle? Zhan Bai's heart was shocked, and this last suspicion shocked him the most.

As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?

Although Zhanbai didn't have this kind of court experience in his previous life and present life, he couldn't stand the bombardment of various costume TV series and even novels in his previous life.

Looking at the history of nearly 5,000 years in the previous life, almost every dynasty and every generation is indispensable to the figure of party struggle in the court, and even many historians in later generations have refuted it as the biggest disaster of the country.

It is not difficult to imagine the danger involved.

As soon as he entered the court, he was like the sea, although he had not officially set foot in the court of Chu, it had already brought a lot of pressure to Zhanbai.

With his own wisdom, Zhanbai has talked about intrigue and trickery in the past nearly 100 years, although he dare not say that he is invincible, but he has few opponents. But these are obviously not Zhanbai's self-esteemed capitals, and he doesn't dare to despise the civil and military affairs in the court, not to mention anything else, his biological grandfather Zhancai is lonely, but it is the great Sikong of the three princes in the court of Chu State.

Although Zhanbai has not been in contact with this grandfather for a long time, even so, the latter said that the courage and wisdom he showed made Zhanbai impressed.

Thinking that what he would face in the future would be this kind of wisdom, the old fox of the city, Zhanbai felt a little headache.

"Childe, it seems that we still have a long way to go." Involuntarily, Zhan Bai let out a sigh of emotion.

At the same time, in a rather hidden cave, the assassin Jing Ke, who had fought with Zhanbai before, sat at the top of the position, but turned a deaf ear to the excitement of drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl of demon cultivation below, and the wine glass in his hand was held in mid-air, but he did not put it down, looking absent-minded.

"Why, are you still haunted by this miss?" The monkey demon, who was less than three feet old, came over with a peach in his mouth, "To be exact, we can't be considered a failure, after all, the above did not explain that the target must be killed." ”

"I'm not dwelling on it." Jing Ke shook his head, shook the wine glass in his hand, tilted his neck, and drank the wine inside, "I was thinking about that...... Zhanbai. ”

"Zhanbai? Well, that's a character, especially in kendo, and he doesn't lose to you at all. The monkey demon nodded, but didn't think much of it.

"I mean, his name is Zhanbai!" Jing Ke was obviously dissatisfied with the monkey demon's perfunctory, and snorted heavily.

"So what, not to mention the difference of one word, even if it is the same name and surname, it is not a rare thing in this world." The monkey demon said disapprerovingly.

"Zhan Yibai, Zhan Bai? Is it really just a coincidence, could it be that I am thinking too much? Jing Ke muttered to himself, but for some reason, the boredom in his heart did not decrease at all.

"Not really. He's a human, you're a demon, and you can't see any similarity between the two of you, so you must be thinking too much. As he spoke, the monkey demon unceremoniously grabbed the wine jug in front of Jing Ke's table, and swallowed it directly at the spout without using a wine glass.

"Good wine, refreshing !!"
