The imperial court is a very special organization in the game of the great rivers and lakes. It is both an integral part of the game and to some extent a certain official. Of course, this official has to be discounted, to be precise, it is the government agencies in various places. After becoming the emperor, Wu Cao learned a lot about the rivers and lakes every day, and at the same time, with the help of government agencies, her sense of touch was extended to all corners of the rivers and lakes.

Dajianghu is a world where players and NPCs coexist, and this world will never be controlled by a certain person or a certain force, which is also the highest truth of the game. No matter how strong you are, players will do whatever it takes to break those shackles because of their yearning for freedom.

Therefore, Wu Cao does not pursue that kind of absolute control, but wants to take advantage of the situation to guide and obtain the greatest benefits. The first thing she has to do is to strengthen the Bright Moon Palace, absorb as many and strong enough players as possible, and lay a solid foundation for the Bright Moon Palace.

The current Mingyue Palace, although it integrates the two factions and six realms of the Demon Gate, cannot escape the climbing fence of the Gate Sect. In the future, with the exhibition of the Shattered Void Mission, Mingyue Palace and Wudang, Shaolin and other great factions for thousands of years will inevitably come into contact and face to face, and even conflict. Although there are many masters of the Demon Gate, it is impossible to dominate the rivers and lakes. Not to mention, if Shaolin and Wudang were in their heyday, they would not be inferior to Mingyue Palace, and even surpassed in terms of heritage.

Coupled with all kinds of demon gate masters who are outside the Mingyue Palace, the Mingyue Palace seems to have a big business, but risks and crises are lurking, and if one is not handled well, the rise of the Demon Gate will be a catastrophe, so Wu Cao can't relax at any time.

So, how much energy does a player like the hard-working Ah Fei have?

She put away the letter and closed her eyes.

"Holy Queen!"

And while Wu Cao was gently pressing his forehead to think, a person walked straight in and whispered a word beside her. This is Wu Cao's study, and ordinary people will not enter without signing up, which shows that this person's identity is extraordinary. When he came in, his steps were steady, and his breath was like nothing, obviously his martial arts were extremely high. Wu Cao didn't raise his head, and said with his eyes closed: "Mu Jun, has something happened again?" ”

The person who came was slender and wore a high crown, as if he was a first minister. Very few people know that this person is Mu Qingliu, one of the holy monarchs in the history of the Demon Gate, even Wu Cao has to be called "Mu Jun"!

There have been brief reunifications of the Demon Gate once or twice in the thousand-year history, and the leader at that time was the Holy Monarch, which means the King of the Holy Gate. Throughout the ages, there have only been one or two famous saints, all of whom are extremely strong in martial arts, and their means and resourcefulness are all outstanding. This Mu Qingliu appeared in the era of the border wilderness, and was originally the head of the Huajian faction back then, and later assumed the responsibility of the Holy Monarch of the Demon Gate. In the original book, it is probably said that he and the middle-aged Xiang Yutian Xiuwei were in the same place, and he once led the people in the Demon Gate to support Huan Xuan's throne.

Xiang Yutian should be the top master in the era of the great rivers and lakes, and he is even in the top three on the broken rankings. Of course, the reason why Xiang Yutian of Dajianghu is powerful is because he is set to live for more than two hundred years, which is far more powerful than Xiang Yutian in middle age, but this will definitely not make Mu Qingliu's identity fade in the slightest.

After Mu Qingliu came in, he stood beside Wu Cao and said in a low voice, "The meeting with Ling Donglai collapsed...... The Supreme Grandmaster didn't pay any attention to us at all. ”

"Oh?"

Wu Cao's pair of dragon eyes opened slightly.

A little confusion in her eyes at first was quickly replaced by a determination that was in her hands. So she smiled and said, "The Supreme Grandmaster ordered Donglai to come, but it was not what I expected. It would be a miracle if he agreed! ”

Na Mu Qingliu also nodded, and said: "Yes, Ling Donglai is a scholar of heaven and man, and he is the most supreme master in our department, and he acts in a very superior manner. This time we just wanted to test his attitude, but before I could finish my words, he laughed and left. We can't keep anyone, so we have to send ......"

Wu Cao snorted, and muttered to himself for a while: "That's fine, we don't have so many scruples." In any case, these obstacles must be removed one by one...... I will not allow ......"

There were a few words she said very lightly, and only Na Mu Qingliu could hear them. But he could hear Wu Cao's determination. Mu Qingliu knew that this woman did what she said, otherwise he would not have followed her as a holy monarch and worked hard for the true unification of the entire Holy Gate.

"Holy Queen, I heard that players are going to hold a martial arts conference. The location is in Xiangyang City! This group of players will toss. ”

Wu Cao gently grabbed a copy of the recital, and said with a smile as he opened it: "I already know about this." Fang Caizhen also specially instructed Xiangyang to guard Lu Wende's side, and asked him to set aside a place in Xiangyang for the players to have fun. The player's martial arts conference is actually beneficial to us. The three major gangs of them have already sent someone to tell me the agenda of the martial arts conference. This time, they are going to gather players from all over the rivers and lakes and reach an agreement: if any NPC that is not yellow is forcibly involved in the mission of the Shattered Void, the players will agree to attack it in groups...... If this agreement is made, we will have much less resistance. ”

Na Mu Qingliu also smiled and said: "Yes, if this martial arts conference can be successful, then the threat of the four veins of Jin Gu Wen Liang will be greatly reduced...... These players are willing to cooperate with our Holy Gate, but they also have some vision. ”

Wu Cong shook his head and said, "No, they are not cooperating with our Holy Gate, they are cooperating with the government. Lu Wende is the Taishou of Xiangyang, and the martial arts conference is held in Xiangyang, so it is natural to inform Lu Wende. And I am the nominal emperor, so the notice sent to Lu Wende will naturally be sent to me. Of course, there are some people in the three major gangs who are also smart enough to know the connection. They just told us in a way that didn't violate the rules of the big rivers and lakes! ”

Wu Cao's identity is indeed very special. She is both the emperor and the supreme leader of the Demon Gate. In a sense, she has a dual identity of dominating the people and the rivers and lakes. Of course, the players will not all support her, only one of the three major gangs supports Wu Cong, while Cloud City supports Lang Chuanyun, and Dragon and Phoenix Inn supports Qin Mengyao, both of whom are nominally opponents. But the purpose of this martial arts conference is to safeguard the interests of the entire Huang family, and from this point of view, the players and Wu Cong are in a group.

Therefore, the three major gangs notified the news of the martial arts conference to Wu Cong's side, which inevitably did not mean to be tempted.

Mu Qingliu pondered: "Shattered Void, players all have their own supporting masters, if there are no other veins to add chaos, then the people they support will naturally have a better chance of winning." Jin Gu Wen Liang, how many heroes and heroes, add up to far better than our yellow lineage. Even if one percent of the ginseng is combined, I'm afraid you and I won't have it easy. It's just that these players are doing this, I'm afraid it's not just for the people they support......"

Wu Cao slowly flipped the fold in his hand, and after a while, he said, "Yes!" Players are also divided into various factions and gangs, and they naturally have other plans for these things. Whoever dominates this martial arts conference will basically dominate the players in the next half a year, and if they can set a rule, even the players with strong martial arts will not be angry. This is the righteousness and general trend of the rivers and lakes! ”

Mu Qingliu remembered the integration of his Holy Gate, and nodded: "Since ancient times, the battle between the rivers and lakes has never stopped, and so have the players. However, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it, I suspect that some people in the martial arts of Jingu Wenliang will have ulterior motives and make trouble from it......"

"Of course they're going to get in the way, but we're not going to give them a chance!" Wu Cong said lightly.

"Then I will personally lead someone to take charge, and it is necessary to ensure that this matter goes smoothly!" Mu Qingliu is colorful.

"No, you are the Holy Monarch of the Demon Gate, so naturally you have more important things to do. I want you to go and meet a few more people, including Qin Mengyao, Shi Zhixuan, and Xiang Yutian...... Players have players' rivers and lakes, and we have our rivers and lakes. You don't have to be deeply entangled with each other, otherwise there will be a big disaster! ”

Mu Qingliu was convinced of the empress's judgment, nodded and didn't say anything.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I want you to run. You go to Kaifeng Mansion, send this letter to Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion, and ask him to arrest someone! Wu Cao said this, and handed the yellow document that had been approved in his hand to Mu Qingliu.

Mu Qingliu took it and glanced at it a few times, with a strange look on his face.

"Zhanzhao? Is that Zhan Zhao, who is called 'Royal Cat'? The Holy Queen, Zhanzhao of Kaifeng Mansion, although there is no problem with his character, he is also competent as a catcher. But his martial arts skills were a little worse, and he couldn't deal with that man. We have countless masters in Mingyue Palace, why did the Holy Queen choose a person from the official palace to do this? That person is not easy to deal with, even Yang Xuyan ......"

Wu Cao said lightly: "Zhanzhao is loyal to his duties and chivalrous, and he is the most suitable person." Kaifeng Mansion is responsible for the garrison of the imperial city, and some people trespass into people's houses and hurt countless people, of course, they need to be responsible for arresting and bringing them to justice. Also, don't forget the previous emperor...... I don't want to use too many people from the Bright Moon Palace. In the face of Zhanzhao, if the hard-working Ah Fei refuses to cheat his life, he is resisting the system, this is not a grudge between the rivers and lakes, this is the rule of the system. ”

Mu Qingliu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "The Holy Queen's arrangement is really ingenious. I'm going to Kaifeng Mansion! ”

Wu Cao nodded. She thought of the arrogant and domineering kid, and the corners of her mouth were also smiling, and she said, "Mujun, we have already contacted the people of Cihang Jingzhai. This time there was also competition between the Holy Gate and the Silent Lent, but there were many subtle changes inside. Concubine Xuan's side, don't touch her, leave it to Shangguan...... That's it. The important thing is that the prisoners, although I wrote a personal letter, Guo Jing of Xiangyang has never wanted to get involved in this matter. I also know his attitude, and I have always respected him as a person. You want to do this......" She explained another extremely important matter, Mu Qingliu listened, and there was a gleam in her eyes.

As the master of the Demon Gate, Wu Cao and Mu Qingliu settled the plan of the Demon Gate with a few simple words. The few orders they issued, some dealing with NPCs and some dealing with players, seemed to be invisible, but they grasped this key point of the rivers and lakes very accurately.
