"Lord Shen, you are weapon-only." Hearing Shen Yan say these words that he had never thought of, a strong shock flashed in the eyes of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, Shen Yan did not have much contact with the outside world, why did he say such words, was he talking nonsense casually, or did he really exist?

"Our Lady may think that I am talking nonsense, but I don't know that there is really a place in this world that has gone to the front of Great Xia, and gunpowder is only used for alchemy in my Great Xia, and in some places, gunpowder has begun to study how to use it in weapons." A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, he thought that the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect could be regarded as a well-informed person, but from her eyes, Shen Yan found that her world was still too small, and at the same time, her ability to accept new things was far inferior to Ye Wushuang.

"Our Lady may think that gunpowder has no power, but Our Lady has not thought about such a question, you rushed at me with a long knife, and I shot at you with gunpowder at a distance of 100 meters, which of us do you say will fall first?"

"As soon as Lord Shen said this, no one in the world would be able to restrain these people." There was a look of disbelief in the eyes of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect.

"That's not it, after all, there will be a positive side to everything, and there will be a negative side at the same time, there are two deficiencies in gunpowder bullets, the first is not to touch water, if it is a rainy day to fight, gunpowder bullets have no use of force; Second, the chamber of the gunpowder bullet will often heat up and cause the chamber to burst, which is caused by the backwardness of metallurgical technology, as long as the metallurgical technology is changed, this problem will be solved. However, if you want to change this technology, I don't think you can do it in a hundred years. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

If metallurgy wants to reach a certain level, it must enter the industrial age, and now there are at least two hundred years before the industrial age, so Shen Yan is very sure that even if some opponents develop gunpowder bullets, it is only a small part, at most it is used for self-defense, rather than measuring equipment into the army.

"Lord Shen seems to know everything." Hearing Shen Yan's eloquent expression, the eyes of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect revealed a more complicated look.

"Who in the world dares to say that he knows everything, I know that these are just reading more books in my spare time, reading more books with strange skills and tricks." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, he knew that these were the knowledge from his own mind, plus the theory derived from the general deduction of this era, these words were already shocking, completely deviant.

"Hearing you say that, I'm now very curious about the deal you're proposing." A hint of contemplation flashed in the eyes of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, and then she said slowly.

"After I returned to Xiangzhou Mansion with Our Lady, I fought a big battle, of course, this battle was played for the people of the world to see, but after this battle, the White Lotus Sect had to turn from light to dark, and it was not allowed to engage in any doctrinal propaganda activities on the surface, so it was regarded as a real failure of the White Lotus Sect and really entered a dormant period." A faint look flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he glanced at the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect and said slowly.

"Lord Shen, this proposal of yours is not of any benefit to the Holy Sect." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a faint contemplation appeared in the eyes of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, and she didn't seem to feel the benefits of Shen Yan's proposal to the White Lotus Sect.

"On the surface, this is true, however, after this dormant period, the White Lotus Sect will definitely undergo a transformation, and what the White Lotus Sect lacks is this transformation." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a faint confidence, and he said slowly.

"Then what kind of benefits can Lord Shen get from it?" The White Lotus Sect Holy Mother's eyes contained a trace of dissatisfaction, glanced at Shen Yan, and said lightly.

"The situation of the imperial court is that the princes take the heirs, at least no less than ten princes have the strength to sit in that position, and the emperor is now old, although he can still control the situation, but the princes are too infiltrated by the family, so the emperor will not let those princes who have been infiltrated by the family sit in that position at all." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said slowly.

"What the Eighteen Princes lack now is meritorious service, so the emperor will let the Eighteen Princes follow me and let him accumulate enough meritorious deeds, so that the emperor's promotion of the Eighteen Princes will be justified."

"Lord Shen means that he wants me to pretend to lose to you and accumulate enough merits for Xia Yuanxu." The beautiful Dai Mei of the White Lotus Sect couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and it seemed that she didn't quite agree with Shen Yan's proposal.

"It's not about pretending, the White Lotus Sect has now become the target of the imperial court and the family, if the White Lotus Sect does not choose to forbear and enter the dormant period, it will definitely be suppressed by the joint forces of all parties, not to mention whether the White Lotus Sect can withstand the suppression of these forces, whether the White Lotus Sect can withstand the offensive of my Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army is a big problem." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a strong sense of confidence.

"There are almost more than 70,000 soldiers of the White Lotus Sect in the area of Xiangzhou Mansion, and although the combined number of my Great Xia Royal Army and servant army is less than half of the White Lotus Sect, the training of the White Lotus Sect is insufficient, and there is no outstanding command in the military, completely relying on some brute strength, if the war goes well, it will be overwhelming, but once the war is frustrated, morale will be low, and it will affect the entire battle situation, so the White Lotus Sect in Xiangzhou Mansion will not be able to withstand my military attack at all." When Shen Yan said this, a touch of indifference appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a confident look.

"Why don't you think that you have successfully defeated the Jinling Front Army before, you can also defeat my Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army, Our Lady should have heard about the combat effectiveness of my Great Xia Royal Army, so if you look at it purely from the point of view of military strength, the White Lotus Sect in Xiangzhou Mansion can completely crush my Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army, but the war does not completely depend on the number of people, but also depends on the comprehensive aspects such as the right time, place and people, and now the morale of the Great Xia Royal Army is far higher than that of the White Lotus Sect in Xiangzhou Mansion."

"Lord Shen, what you said is beneficial to you, but it doesn't help the Holy Sect in any way, why should this seat agree to this deal for you." A complicated look flashed in the eyes of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, she glanced at Shen Yan and said indifferently.

Since the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect was asked to join the White Lotus Sect and act in the name of the White Lotus Sect, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect had already understood in her heart that the White Lotus Sect had become a piece of fat in the eyes of the family and the three princes.

"Our Lady, what is the current situation of the White Lotus Sect, I think you know better than me, I can only say that if I am worthy of the trust of the Holy Mother, I can promise the Holy Mother that once the Eighteen Princes sit in that position, I can give the White Lotus Sect a proper position, although it cannot form a state religion, but it can make the White Lotus Sect appear in the open, and no longer hide and preach the doctrine." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, and said slowly.
