"Holy Mother, it's incredible that so many of the sect master's troops were defeated by Shen Yan." In the White Lotus Sect camp outside the city of Xiangzhou Mansion, a black-faced old man in his early fifties, wearing a gray robe, with a hint of a playful smile in his eyes, looked at the Holy Mother with a noble face, like a nine-day fairy, and said respectfully.

"Protecting the Dharma, people can't look good, Shen Yan can rise in the court in such a short period of time, which is enough to show that his talent and resourcefulness are not inferior to ordinary people." Hearing Xiang Sicong's words, the eyes of the Holy Mother revealed a look of understanding, and she said lightly.

"Holy Mother, wasn't Shen Yan's rise promoted by the Great Xia Emperor?" Xiang Sicong's eyes showed a hint of suspicion, and he said puzzled.

"Shen Yan's rise has certainly been promoted by the Great Xia Emperor, but if Shen Yan himself does not have the corresponding talent and resourcefulness, even if the Great Xia Emperor wants to promote him, it is just that the mud can't support the wall, and Shen Yan's rise to the sky in such a short period of time is not simply obtained by virtue of the promotion of the Great Xia Emperor." Our Lady's eyes revealed a trace of indifferent bitterness, such a young and handsome man, but he can't use it for himself, he is really a little unwilling.

"Shen Yan was just the head of the Criminal Department at the beginning, but later he actually formed the Great Xia Royal Army, and defeated my Holy Sect twice in Lingnan with five hundred troops, which has to say that he has strong military talent, the most important point is that Lingnan has a saint and a senior sister in charge of the overall situation, as well as the eyes of the sect leader, but with such strength, Shen Yan has been able to rise in Lingnan, which is enough to show his skill and resourcefulness."

"The most painful thing for this seat is that Shen Yan's rise to Lingnan actually destroyed the Holy Sect's years of hard work in Lingnan, and also forced the Holy Maiden and Senior Sister to disappear, if this seat is not mistaken, the Holy Maiden and Senior Sister have become Shen Yan's prisoners, if it weren't for the Holy Sect's desire to gain enough political influence through the military, and the interference of the sect leader's people, this seat would have entered Jinling to personally rescue the Holy Maiden and Senior Sister and his party."

"Holy Mother, Shen Yan won't be so powerful." There was a hint of suspicion in Xiang Sicong's eyes.

"It's not powerful, how can he defeat the sect leader's people many times, you must know that the background of the sect leader, the generalissimo and Wen Xiang is not ordinary, although there are not many talents under his command, but it is not without handsomeness, but even with such strength, he still lost to Shen Yan, you say that Shen Yan is not powerful." Hearing Xiang Sicong's somewhat unconvinced words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the Holy Mother's mouth, and she said slowly.

"Think about it, how old Shen Yan is, he already wears many hats, which is not something ordinary people can do. And the sect leader and others lost to Shen Yan, maybe they did despise it at the beginning, but they lost to Shen Yan one after another, that is strength. ”

"That's right, a young man who has just turned twenty is already the chief soldier of the Great Xia Royal Army, the chief soldier of the servant army, the left attendant of the military department, the right attendant of the criminal department, the outer lang of the official department, the eighteenth prince attendant, the commander of the Jinyi School and the commander of Jinling, and the cabinet walking, this is more powerful than the local Guo Zi'an, there is such an opponent in front of me, I really don't know if it is the nemesis of the Holy Sect." A complicated look flashed in Xiang Sicong's eyes, and with a hint of unconvinced look, he said slowly.

"If Shen Yan is given a certain opportunity, his achievements should surpass Guo Zi'an back then, after all, Guo Zi'an is only good at government affairs and lacks in military affairs, and Shen Yan's talent in military affairs is only stronger than some veterans, and more importantly, Shen Yan also has a certain talent in government affairs, even if he is slightly insufficient, he can use his staff to give him advice." A faint smile appeared on the corner of the Virgin's mouth.

"Holy Mother, are we just watching Shen Yan defeat the Sect Master and the others, so that the strength of the Holy Sect will be damaged." Xiang Sicong thought about it and felt that besieging Xiangzhou Mansion would certainly require a certain amount of troops, but if he drew some troops to join the sect leader and his family, he would definitely be able to maintain a relatively balanced situation with Shen Yan.

"Haven't you been persuading this seat to guard against the sect leader, haven't you always been worried that the sect leader wants to snatch the power of this seat, why did you suddenly change your mind." Hearing Xiang Sicong's words, the Holy Mother's eyes showed a faint smile, glanced at the other party, and said slowly.

"Holy Mother, at this time and that time, my subordinates don't want the strength of the Holy Sect to be affected because of these intrigues." Xiang Sicong's eyes revealed a hint of honesty.

"It's good that you have this idea." Hearing Xiang Sicong's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the Virgin's mouth. Xiang Sicong is the first descendant of the Holy Mother in the White Lotus Sect, and his credibility is even more than that of the Holy Maiden, if Xiang Sicong wants to join forces with Wang Tianzuo against him, then the Holy Mother's heart will definitely feel extremely painful.

"Although you are the most trustworthy Dharma protector of this seat, this seat has never told you about the identity of the sect leader and others, and this seat will take this opportunity to tell you today." A hint of contemplation flashed in the eyes of the Holy Mother, and then a determined look appeared on her white and flawless face, and she glanced at Xiang Sicong and said slowly.

"The sect leader, the generalissimo and the Wen Xiang are from the Wang family, the Yang family and the Cui family, and the purpose of their joining the Holy Sect is not to help the Holy Sect grow, but to use the strength of the Holy Sect to help the three princes of Great Xia win the heir, all of this is the bureau of the three princes of Great Xia, so, fundamentally speaking, the sect leader and others are not considered members of the Holy Sect, but are just acting in the cloak of the Holy Sect."

"If you think about it, one of the people in the sect leader's line can be an old man from the Holy Sect, but there is also a person who has been transferred from the Holy Sect, and their people are all recruited by them, or they are outside their families, or they know people. Therefore, even if they were all wiped out by the Great Xia Imperial Court, they would not cause any damage to the strength of the Holy Sect. ”

"What's more, since the sect leader joined the Holy Sect, in addition to expanding their strength, they are more thinking about how to carve up the strength from this seat, if it weren't for the strength of this seat being much stronger than the sect leader, maybe the Holy Sect has already become the marginal strength of the three families of Yang Wang Cui, or the three princes, and even a chess piece that can be discarded at any time."

"I didn't expect that there were such twists and turns hidden in this, Our Lady should have told her subordinates earlier, and her subordinates would not have been so worried about them." After listening to the words of the Holy Mother, Xiang Sicong sighed deeply, and said slowly with a trace of unwillingness and helplessness.

"Tell you, with your temper, you haven't fallen out long ago." Our Lady said with a smile indifferently.

"Then now we're just watching them being wiped out by the official army?" Xiang Sicong's eyes flashed with a simple look, and he said lightly.

"It's not easy for the officers and soldiers to eliminate them, after all, their identities are there." A faint smile appeared on the corner of the Virgin's mouth.

"The imperial court is still somewhat concerned about the strength of the three old families, these families are not something that can be eliminated if they want to, otherwise, the Great Xia Emperor would not have chosen to forbear."

"So, what we have to do now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watch the sect leader and them fight with the officials and soldiers, if the opportunity is right, we are not without the opportunity to really control Xiangzhou Mansion and even Huaibei County."
