The full moon hung high in the night sky, and in the distance on the other side, Qin Mo, Qin Wuyan, and Qin Xiaoya'er were talking at the edge of the forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng were walking back and forth in the open space, and the lights were flickering at the other end of the wooden wall.

After a long while, I saw Ning Jiang walking out, and Ah Cai followed behind him, his face that was originally slightly dark, but it was red at the moment.

Jianli and Xiaomeng greeted them.

Xiaomeng hugged the little black cat and said, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”

Ning Jiang held his left hand and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say, although some problems have been clarified, there are still many things that I don't understand." ”

Jianli joked: "Xiaomeng is asking you how Acai's body is?" It must have been intact before going in just now, but is there anything broken when you come out now? ”

Ning Jiang said: "Hey, hey......"

Ah Cai's face turned even redder.

Xiaomeng raised his head: "Hmm...... Brother, have you ever bullied a knife these days? ”

The little black cat meowed shyly in her arms.

Chun Jianli thought to herself, I'm afraid there is, this guy obviously has a problem with his sister's feelings, I'm just in his sister's room, wearing his sister's clothes, he can't hold it, the knife is like a little dream when I was a child...... This damn fellow!

Finding that Chun Jianli was looking at herself with slanted eyes, Ning Jiang clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed lightly, feeling that it was better not to talk to them first.

Throw a few of them down for the time being, walk over, and meet Qin Mo. Qin Mo followed behind him and reported to him the situation in the south. Since the defeat of the Leopard King, the southern court has been relatively stable on the whole, and after Song Hong, the son of heaven, returned to Lin'an, he reorganized the dynasty and waited for reconstruction. The possibility of the northern barbarian army invading the south again in a short period of time was completely lifted because of the annihilation of the Leopard King and his main force, and the southern army and people really settled down.

However, immediately afterward, with the annihilation of the Leopard King's army, the land annexation also intensified. Many people returned home after the barbarian invasion to find that their land and homes had been occupied. In addition, the wealthy families who fled in the north and the local gentry in the south also frequently fought among themselves, and large-scale party disputes were formed above the court.

Qin Mo said: "Although the Leopard King's invasion failed, the authority of the Son of Heaven has also dropped sharply because of this, and it is no longer possible to suppress the forces in the court. In addition, the status of military generals has risen sharply, and those civil officials have also begun to recruit masters on the rivers and lakes on a large scale, using their powerful positions to win over, and the court fights non-stop. In a short period of time, it is probably impossible to rely on the imperial court to counterattack the Central Plains. ”

Ning Jiang said: "This level of change is also expected. Whether you want it or not, the banner of the Son of Heaven cannot fall for the time being, otherwise, the Central Plains is undecided, and the internal war will occur in the south first, which will only give the barbarian army and the Miao army an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Qin Mo said: "There may be a problem within the Miao Army, but the specific situation is unknown for the time being." ”

Ning Jiang said: "Qin Ze and Mingshan's ghost military division, what do you think about this?" ”

Qin Mo said: "The second brother thinks that although Brother Ori is in charge of the twenty-seven caves of the Three Desolations and Nine Ridges, there are actually many contradictions between the various ridges and cave masters, and during the expansion period, everyone can get great benefits, and there is naturally no problem with unity." But now, the Central Plains is occupied by the barbarian army, and the Miao army did not dare to be the enemy of the barbarians for a while, and the plan to invade the southwest seven roads was blocked by the defeat of the Ma Jing War and the fact that all the rebel armies in the southwest were dependent on the imperial court. In this case, some of the cave owners feel that they have not made enough money and want to continue to expand regardless of everything, and some people feel that it is enough to occupy Bashu, and if they want to stop, Brother Crane may not be able to suppress all opinions. ”

continued: "Besides, unlike the barbarians, although the barbarian tribes also have contradictions, but now, the north of the Changhe River is all under the control of the barbarians, although the invasion of Jiangnan failed, but the territory they occupy is already too much for them. Basically, each tribe has reaped great benefits, and the territory they occupy has not been able to be fully controlled and digested, even if they have encountered a little setback, it does not have much impact on the whole, and because of this, although there is a big defeat of the leopard king, but within the barbarians, on the whole, they can still work together. The Miao army is different, although it occupies Bashu, but the internal faction is not less than the barbarian army, a Bashu is not enough, and when the expansion is blocked, the division of territory and the distribution of forces are very easy to cause internal contradictions. The second brother believes that in order to be able to suppress the internal contradictions, Brother Yu only has two days to go, either continue to use troops to the southwest and try to maintain the expansion of the territory, or suppress the internal instability factors as soon as possible. The former, in the current situation, the Miao army may not be able to bargain, and the latter, in a short period of time, the Miao army will inevitably have civil strife, giving China an opportunity. ”

Ning Jiang nodded: "The Miao army is actually not weak, but unfortunately this trip is unlucky, when it came out of Bashu, it had already missed the most chaotic period of the Southwest Seven Roads, and the division of forces in the southwest was over, and all the people who could gain a foothold were hard to gnaw." In addition, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were also pressed to the southwest, and the characteristics of Bashu itself were easy to defend and difficult to attack, which made it difficult for them to do more after occupying the entire Bashu. Despite this, once the internal integration is forcibly completed by Brother Ran, the Miao army is still not easy to deal with, and it is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity of the Miao army's advance and retreat to further attack the Miao army, thereby causing internal chaos in the Miao army. I guess the ghost military division of the Red Turban Army should also see it this way? ”

Qin Mo said in a low voice: "The ghost military division is in retreat!" ”

Ning Jiang was stunned and looked back at him: "Retreat? What does a retreat do? ”

Qin Mo said: "I heard that it is a retreat to practice martial arts, and it will not be out of the customs until two or three months later, and now, the Red Turban Army is all presided over by the Red Lady, and it is guarded by the south of the Rose Lake, except for not letting the Miao Army have a chance to attack, there is no other action." ”

Ning Jiang was stunned for a moment...... Martial arts in retreat? At this time?

Bai Zijin actually hid and practiced martial arts when the situation was changing rapidly? What the hell was that guy thinking?

You must know that now that the Xuan Qi is flourishing, there are many masters in the world, and there are not many hundred sons, and there are many fewer hundred sons. But the real strategic talents are very few.

In the past, Huaxia emphasized literature and light martial arts, and it seemed that there were many people who read books, but most of them would only talk exaggeratedly, and when it came to the scriptures, it was more than one to be able to speak the truth, and the so-called "half of the treatise on the rule of the world" dared to say such words, but at the critical moment, the ones that really came in handy were pitiful.

There is a saying that "on weekdays, the heart is talked about, and the stagnant water is too cold when it is in trouble", and the scholars who have lost their literary temperament are a waste of food to raise. In this situation, a wise general like Bai Zijin, who can see through the general trend and train an army composed of chaotic people who is almost in a desperate situation into a crack general, and move towards one victory after another, is the real rare, but it is impossible to find, and it is difficult for others to replace the hero.

As a result, he went to retreat and practice martial arts at this time?

Ning Jiang held the folding fan in his hand, and secretly thought in his heart: "Baizijin retreats for three months, and after three months, the world doesn't know what will become of it." He's not such an ignorant character, so there must be some other factors, right? ”

But if the chaos in the world cannot be quickly pacified within two or three years, like the Chu-Han War, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty in another world, it will definitely drag into a long-term war, such as the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Five Hu Chaos, and the division of the Tang Dynasty at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

The first two or three years of the war were the most critical moments, and if the barbarians were not expelled in these two or three years, the most ideal result would probably be the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Bai Zijin actually practiced martial arts in retreat under such a situation where all parties were working together and the most critical situation, which really surprised Ning Jiang. Unless he can directly cultivate a sect saint in two or three months, what use can he be?

Seriously, even if he can really refine to the peak level of grandmasters like Qiu Shuijian, Liu Xuanyou, Zhou Gonggui, and Dai Ba, in the entire torrent called "Tianxia", it is not as helpful as him now.

Regarding Bai Zijin's choice, even Ning Jiang couldn't help but be a little confused at the moment, and he could only guess that there must be other hidden secrets in this.

Qin Mo continued: "In addition, in the south and on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a mysterious organization has recently appeared, called 'Ci Xin Zhai', in this organization, most of the women, headed by Ci Yue Fairy, this Ci Xin Zhai has developed a bit incredibly fast, and whether it is at the top of the imperial court or at the top of the barbarian army, it has begun to have a lot of influence. ”

Ning Jiang was surprised: "When I left Jiangnan, I hadn't heard of such an organization, where did these people come from?" ”

Qin Mo said: "We haven't been able to figure this out yet, but their concept is quite flattering. Most of the women in this mercy fasting are as beautiful as flowers, and they are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there are many masters. Everyone's dress is out of the ordinary, like a fairy in the sky. They said, "Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, all the souls in the world are the children of heaven and earth, and they persuade people to be kind to living beings." They went in and out of the high-level barbarian tribes, persuading those barbarian generals who had killed and formed to treat the people under their rule well, and they traveled back and forth on both sides of the long river, saying that they wanted to resolve the hatred between Huaxia and the barbarians, eliminate the flames of war, and save the people. They persuaded the world to be kind to other living beings, and if they saw someone killing a chicken or a rabbit on the road, they would often stop and persuade them to release them, even at the expense of money to buy them and let them go. Nowadays, many of the people on both sides of the river have begun to eat vegetarian diets, and many dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial court, as well as many landlords and gentry, often invite these beautiful fairies into their homes and ask them to explain the doctrine of compassion. Most of their theories are extended from the Confucian classics, and they are also very popular with those great Confucians, and many people say that they are the new 'Cixue' of Confucianism. ”

Ning Jiang frowned tightly, this feeling was very bad, it felt like in the history of another world, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which had lost half of the country, began to indulge in Buddhism and metaphysics, and even he began to feel a sense of powerlessness.

Qin Mo said: "Second brother said, it is impossible for an organization to grow from scratch at such a fast speed, it must be built on the basis of a force that has been formed a long time ago and has been secretly developed for a long time, it is the transformation of a powerful organization, the second brother guesses, the most likely of them is ......"

Ning Jiang sighed: "Zoroastrianism? ”

Qin Mo said: "The second brother guessed like this, but there is no evidence at all, and now, they have invisibly become the messengers connecting the high-level of the barbarian army and the southern court, the second brother said, even if they are really Zoroastrian makeovers and expose them, I'm afraid it will be useless." ”

Ning Jiang clenched the folding fan: "This is really ...... The bottom of the kettle is drawn! "As a traverser, he knows better than anyone the powerful hidden dangers brought by this move, although there is no sword and sword shadow, but it can be said that this hand, even more dangerous and terrifying than the leopard king with more than 200,000 elite soldiers to invade the south, just like a soft knife that slowly cuts meat, but it is difficult to resolve.

Once this "Confucian Compassion School" takes shape, even if it kills all those women, I am afraid it will be useless. In the most appropriate soil, the most suitable seed is planted, and even if the sower is killed, the seed will take root and sprout, but I am afraid that it has become inevitable.

Zoroastrian deity and goddess of evil...... That's a great way to do it!

He thought in his heart: "This hand is really unresolved, but fortunately, although this 'Cixue' can affect the imperial court and ordinary people, as well as a large number of Confucian scholars who have lost their literary spirit and are unwilling to make changes, it is difficult to affect the rivers and lakes and martial artists." It's really not good, then I'll follow them to smash the plate and see who smashes the plate faster. ”

In his heart, he decided to deal with the situation under his own necessity, and explained some things to Qin Mo, and that night, Qin Mo left Fuxiong Valley overnight, went out of Qiyin Mountain, and rushed back to the south.

After Qin Mo left, Ning Jiang walked to Princess Shan, and the two walked around under the moon together. Princess Shan asked about the demon blood constitution in Ah Cai's body.

Ning Jiang said: "There is too much time, and I haven't been able to research anything useful, the only thing that can be determined is that there is indeed some mysterious power hidden in Ah Cai's blood, but its source and the specific principle that allows her to use 'supernatural powers' are still unknown." In addition, I have studied the body of red butterflies......"

"Y-You've studied the body of the red butterfly?" Luan Mei turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

Ning Jiang waved his hand: "This is not important. ”

Luan Mei bit her lip...... This is important.

Ning Jiang sat down on the grass, tapped his knees with his fingers, and muttered: "I haven't been able to understand the principle of the heavenly human physique, the only thing I can be sure of is that there is something unusual in the spirit of the red butterfly. This unusual thing is that with the true yin as the connection point, the divine spirit affects the body, creating a 'celestial human physique', which is not the same as Ah Cai's demon blood physique. Ah Cai's demon blood, hidden in the bloodline, is more like a part of the genetics, and her spirit is no different from ordinary people. Even so, I always feel that there is some kind of similarity in the mysterious power they hide. In addition, at present, it seems that the celestial physique only exists among the Chinese people, and the demon blood physique, according to Ah Cai, has not been found to have demon blood among the Chinese people for the time being. Of course, it is not possible to determine whether this is a 'coincidence' caused by too few samples, or if it is really due to the difference between the Chinese and the barbarians. After all, I have only studied Red Butterfly alone, maybe other celestial physique people are different from her, it is also possible. ”

Luan Mei glanced at him, and suddenly said, "I am also a celestial physique!" ”

Ning Jiang turned his head to look at her: "What do you mean ......?"

The girl blushed and looked to the side: "One sample, after all, is still too little, two...... It's better than one. Moreover, I also want to find out how the celestial human constitution came about, I—I can let you study it. ”

Ning Jiang smiled: "I know! So he picked her up with the princess's arms, and went into the woods, and examined her in detail......
