"My lord, if there is anything you can say directly, what did the brothers do wrong, is it not hidden enough, or is the advance speed too slow?"

"I said no, but really not, you now lead the brothers back to the mountains to hide, two days, two days at most, I will come back to you. Li Xunlian left after speaking, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and said solemnly: "Remember, you must not disobey, this is very, very important, and it must not be discovered, let alone actively exposed." ”

Seeing that Lord Hong's words were solemn, although Baier was still unwilling, he finally complied. I have to say that its efficiency is still very good, and after a while, it calmed down the excited green demon warriors and led everyone on the way back to the mountains and forests.

After seeing that they had indeed returned to the mountain, Li Xunlian accelerated and swept wildly, and returned to Qingming Pass after a while.

At this time, there were no refugees gathering at the Qingming Pass, the dilapidated city gate was scattered on the ground, the thistle terrestris had already been carried to the side when the refugees entered the city, and there were no guards in front of the city gate.

The absence of pedestrians on the streets was expected by Li Xunlian, and there were no people on the streets before the refugees were like the city, let alone the existence of this group of madmen who were put in.

He had seen the fire in the granary for a long time, but after a temporary look, the fire was bigger than he expected, and he was afraid that it would not be long before the grain enough to feed the people of a city for several years would be burned.

However, these are not Li Xunlian's main concerns at the moment, he is wondering why there are no guards at the door.

It stands to reason that such a big thing has happened, and the Taishou side should respond in time, the refugees have already entered the city, whether they are killed or arrested, at least they must be controlled first.

And the best way to control them is naturally to send someone to guard the city gate and come to a turtle in an urn.

Of course, if you don't defend the position at the door, you may also want to blast them out of the city, but this possibility is extremely low, just imagine, the dignified border is heavy, and the refugees broke into the city, and also set fire to the granary, if it is just to blast out, tell the Guan Taishou over there how to explain to the above, plus him in this area, how to have the face to mix.

Even the refugees can't be suppressed, so what can they do to deter the enemy forces that may appear in the future.

Therefore, based on these, Li Xunlian became more and more sure that there was an abnormality in the city, the real Qingmingguan Taishou may not be a good person, but he must be a person, and the current Qingmingguan Taishou may not be a bad person ninety percent, thinking that he is ninety percent likely not to be a person.

It's either a human or a demon clan, if it's not a demon clan, then it's even more terrifying.

It is worth mentioning here that although the barbarians are called barbarians, they are still human beings, but they have not evolved very well.

Walking a few steps into the city, Li Xunlian felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, this feeling came from sensitive nerves, and it had nothing to do with cultivation, he vaguely felt that the incident encountered this time may not be the work of the demon clan, of course, the possibility of the demon clan being the cause of the trouble is still not small.

But in addition, there are three other possibilities.

In order of probability, they are:

The first is that the Taishou who is sitting here is a person from the imperial court, but he either gets an order, or he is greedy for life and afraid of death, in short, he just let the turmoil in the city occur, but this possibility is quite small, no matter what aspect is considered, it should not be like this. It seems unreasonable to say that he is too greedy for life and afraid of death, but he does not need to go into battle in person to send troops to quell the chaos, and it seems unreasonable to say that the imperial court has given instructions.

Second, this place has been controlled by Wei Jiyuan! This kind of possibility is not very likely, it is indeed possible. Wei Jiyuan's external help has declined sharply after losing the support of the Dao Sect, although he has hooked up with Aichen, but Aichen is blocked in the south by the Qingxiao Emperor, and it is difficult to develop in this direction. Although hooking up with Waichen is equivalent to holding the army of Cheng Wang, after all, there are too many restricted places, not as powerful as the Dao Sect, free and easy, and they have all crossed tens of thousands of miles from the Dao Sect's lair to the Divine Sword Peak.

That's the distance from the northwest to the east, if you want to make such a long journey to the king's army, you can't get down every three or two years, not to mention that there are many obstacles in the middle, and no imperial court army, the forces of the rivers and lakes, will easily allow them to cross their own territory. And the Dao Sect doesn't need to worry about this matter, the sword flies into the sky, it comes and goes freely, the imperial court knows that it is the feud of the rivers and lakes and disdains to take care of it, and the Jianghu sect does not dare to mess with the leading big brother when it sees the Daozong, so it is of great help in terms of freedom.

The degree of freedom represents the speed of progress of the plan, and it will also involve many necessary properties such as concealment and suddenness in some aspects, so on the whole, the influence of King Cheng and Daozong on Wei Jiyuan is very different, and even the difference between cloud and mud is not particularly excessive.

Now that the Dao Sect has been defeated, Wei Jiyuan undoubtedly has to re-cultivate his own power, of course, the so-called power is just a knife he borrowed to kill people, and it is not as good as what he said.

In this regard, Li Xunlian thinks that it is very necessary for him to develop in the western land, at present, the western land is in the chaos of the Yin Fire Living Dead, the Buddha Sect can be described as anxious, and his own strength is consumed by the Yin Fire Living Dead at a rather alarming rate, at this moment it is the time when others need to pull a hand, if Wei Jiyuan can do something in the Western Land at this time, it will undoubtedly be much easier than before.

If he engages in Buddhism, he will be able to take the opportunity to make a mess of Buddhism, and even like Taoism, it is estimated that he will not be able to turn over for hundreds of years. Of course, he wouldn't go to Buddhism casually, because the emaciated camels of Buddhism are bigger than horses, not to mention that people are not dead now, but they have lost a lot of weight.

Then why does he still want to engage in Buddhism, the reason is very simple, at this moment, looking at Kyushu, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the temple, it seems that only the imperial court and the Buddhist sect can form a strategic alliance with Shenjian Peak.

It is necessary to mention here that the so-called strategic alliance is to form an alliance from the perspective of their respective interests, not out of any righteousness or righteousness, if the imperial court and the inn form an alliance, it is definitely for the safety of the imperial court, and the same is true of Buddhism.

The two forces that have the potential to help each other and benefit each other with Shenjian Peak are both transcendent forces on the Kyushu Continent, but in comparison, the imperial court is much stronger than the Buddha Sect, and the Qingxiao Emperor also has a certain friendship, Wei Jiyuan will not easily give up this is usually useless, and the critical moment may affect the friendship of all situations.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to describe this friendship as mutually beneficial. Therefore, he will not easily provoke the bottom line of Qingxiao Emperor.

And Buddhism is different, Wei Jiyuan will never have the possibility of cooperating with Buddhism, there are two reasons, this is the first true master of Buddhism, he is quite cautious, or he can be afraid of things, judging from the chaos in Kyushu over the years, but anything that may involve the root of Buddhism, he will not participate, such as the battle of Shenjian Peak some time ago, it stands to reason that he should choose to take sides, but he didn't.

Said that he should choose, this is by no means difficult for a strong man, there is a word called three-legged standing, before the forces of the rivers and lakes were this situation, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism plus the inn were dominant, and they could only maintain balance by restraining each other, and the Taoist sect and the inn fought hard, and the loser collapsed, and since then there are only two big heads left in the rivers and lakes.

In this way, the situation is different, when the three people contain each other, no one dares to act rashly, and the two people don't have to worry so much, just decide the winner directly.

Fortunately, it was Shenjian Peak that won, even if the Buddha Sect did not choose to take sides, they would not retaliate, and at the same time, there would be no ambition to destroy the Buddha Sect to dominate the rivers and lakes in the future, but if the Divine Sword Peak lost in that war, the consequences would not be like this.

The Taoist Sect will definitely strike while the iron is hot, and lead those chaotic sects on the rivers and lakes to attack the lair of Buddhism in one go.

Of course, some people may say that if the Dao Sect really destroys the Divine Sword Peak, its own losses will definitely be very large, how can it fight with the Buddha Sect.

Don't forget, Dao Sect's plan was set by Wei Jiyuan, he had already prepared everything, if it weren't for the sudden changes in the back, Shenjian Peak would definitely be destroyed before the Great Shopkeeper and Li Xunlian returned, which was enough for Dao Sect to evacuate calmly.

Therefore, once the Divine Sword Peak is destroyed, the Buddha Sect will immediately fall into a precarious situation......

Therefore, if the head of the Buddha Sect is a knowledgeable person, he should stand in line in advance, whether to choose the Dao Sect or the Divine Sword Peak, he must know in his heart, and he must not make a choice to stay out of the matter.

Of course, it turned out that he was able to stay out of the way, but it was just a fluke, and the chance of it happening was very small, so it can be said that he was able to survive this potential crisis because he was too lucky.

In addition, as the helmsman of a transcendent force, he should also have a keen sense of smell for the overall situation in his mind, or take the battle of Shenjian Peak as an example, if he could see the situation of Li clearly at that time, he would find that he was the real beneficiary, the Taoist sect and the inn are fighting, this is like a scale, and as one of the three major rivers and lakes in Kyushu, the Buddha Sect is undoubtedly a huge scale, which side he chooses to stand on, which side will undoubtedly win.

Moreover, as a boxer, he can not only benefit from it, but also occupy the absolute initiative, which can not only take the opportunity to destroy one, but also force the other to pay a certain price, which is the best time to unify the rivers and lakes.

But he missed.

Of course, there are still many people in the rivers and lakes who are talking about the high righteousness of the first Buddha sect, and they are not willing to scream those messy grievances, this sentence is replaced by other heads of the Buddhist sect in the past dynasties, Li Xunlian agrees and believes, but this area is not good, Master Zhenjue is really not a benevolent person, he is full of how to unify the rivers and lakes, but his brain is too stupid.

Having said that, it would be forgivable if Wei Jiyuan chose to take advantage of this opportunity to challenge the Buddha Sect.

After all, Buddhism is also a transcendent force, and it is really difficult to deal with in normal times, but now with the help of the Yin Fire Living Dead, Wei Jiyuan can let go of his hands and feet, and specifically poke some things out from behind, so that the Buddha Sect is already in a hurry, and completely loses his sense of proportion.

And once the Buddhism sect is out of order, it will undoubtedly be a huge piece of good news for both Wei Jiyuan and the demon clan.

For the demon clan, the chaos of the Buddha sect is equivalent to paving the way for the demon clan to attack the Buddha sect in the future, if you want to rule the Kyushu continent, attacking the Buddha sect is an inevitable thing, this is absolutely clear of the dust, in addition, the Buddha sect may also be forced to form an alliance with the inn out of its own safety considerations in the future, and first attenuate part of the strength of the Buddha Sect, which is a rainy day, it is necessary.

And for Wei Jiyuan, how much trouble he can bring to the Buddha Sect, how much respect and support he will get in Mourning, this applies to any system and individual, only by showing his ability will he be truly recognized by everyone, otherwise it is useless no matter how you toss.

Wei Jiyuan's cleverness is recognized by the rivers and lakes of Kyushu, but whether Aichen recognizes it or not is a different matter, at least the defeat of the Divine Sword Peak vs. Dao Sect is a typical example, will Aichen care about any accidents, what does he care about?

All he cared about was the result, and the result was that Wei Jiyuan's plan didn't work, the Dao Sect was defeated and almost destroyed, and he lost a very useful dog.

Therefore, Aichen will not have a very good impression of Wei Jiyuan, and Wei Jiyuan's dependence on Aichen is very needed, if there is no support from Aichen's forces behind him, no matter how smart he is, he will not be able to complete the plan in his heart.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the big shopkeeper, no matter how he Wei Jiyuan calculates, the absolute strength is crushed there, how he wants to leap over.

Therefore, Li Xunlian felt that the vision of Qingming Pass had something to do with Wei Jiyuan, not because of his thoughts, but after careful analysis and inference, once Wei Jiyuan could make achievements in the West, he would get a leap in quality impression from Aichen, so as to add a layer of insurance to his plan.

After all, it is still difficult to compete with the inn with the strength of the barbarians alone, although the barbarians have many soldiers and horses, they are enough for Xiao Yong, but after all, it is a country, and it is impossible for the Qingxiao Emperor to let them step into Zhongzhou too deep no matter what.

And without the support of a large army, the role of the barbarians will be drastically diminished.

This is not nonsense, it takes necessary conditions to deal with Divine Sword Peak, either to find a super strong person who can compete with the big shopkeeper in the Xuan Cultivation Realm, or to rely on the absolute suppression of numbers to push off Divine Sword Peak alive, but these two barbarians do not possess it.

To be precise, they should all have them, but they are all unqualified.

The strength of the barbarian lord is quite strong, and he belongs to the third person under the Qingxiao Emperor and the big treasurer, but the gap between the third and the tied first place is really a bit big, and if he puts it alone, he may not be able to hold a Shi Cheng under the hands of the two.
