Chapter 397: The Big Secret
Today, when I learned the news that Zhang Nan brought Chu Wenting here, the old dean was not as flustered as Meng Xichuan and the others. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is not what he expected, but in the past thousand years, he has seen too many dramas for power. In the past, King Liang fought with the emperor, and now Chu Wenting came to fight with King Liang, for Chu Jiu, these are no different.
It's just okay to fight, but you can't mess with it no matter what. If Chu Yun is in chaos, it is not just a matter of one country. So Chu Jiu, prepare to have a good talk with Zhang Nan. And he was going to tell Zhang Nan about some things that other upper realm powerhouses didn't say.
It was a very solemn and serious matter, but what price did Zhang Nan want to tell him about when he came up, and he was worried about those broken flower seeds. It's like a United Nations meeting to talk about national affairs. But Zhang Nan suddenly stood up and asked to solve the problem of who should pay for the soy milk in the morning.
"Mr. Zhang, Chu Yun can't mess around. The old dean relieved the weather for a while, decisively ignored Zhang Nan's problem, and got straight to the point.
"I know. Zhang Nan said with a smile. "The old dean sits in the martial arts academy and takes care of the rivers and mountains......"
"You don't know. The old dean interrupted Zhang Nan: "Don't say anything about the old dean, just call the old deceased Chu Jiu." ”
Zhang Nan frowned slightly and nodded slightly.
Zhang Nan had long thought that the old dean would talk to him about life and the overall situation, but now he suddenly called himself Chu Jiu, which is a bit interesting.
This old dean can be regarded as the emperor of Chu Yuntai, but he has not actually been an emperor. If he was really disturbed by government affairs, he would not be in the current state.
He is the ninth son of the founding emperor of Chu Yun, he only likes martial arts regardless of political affairs, and once made a name for himself in Qingzhou, and the world is mostly called Chu Jiuye. The Martial Academy was also founded by him, because he couldn't break through the reincarnation for a long time, he forbade himself in the mountain behind the Martial Academy, and became the nameless guardian saint of Chu Yun.
Chu Jiuye is the name of the old dean when he was in the rivers and lakes, if it was only for the struggle for imperial power, he would never speak to Zhang Nan in such an capacity.
Zhang Nan's expression straightened and asked, "What does the Ninth Master want to say?"
Chu Jiu seemed to be a little surprised by the respect in Zhang Nan's words, paused, and said:
"The old decay is the realm of the law, although it has not been able to break through the realm of reincarnation, but relying on the protection of this palace, it has also lived for more than a thousand years. I don't know if Mr. Zhang has noticed that the powerhouses of Qingzhou in the Northern Regions are, to put it mildly, the Law Realm, even if they are the powerhouses of the Upper Realm above the Seven Realms, there are few who are close to their old age. If you count it in terms of seniority, even if they are the heads of those sects, most of them are old and decrepit. ”
"Noticed. Zhang Nan nodded.
The fourth realm from the innate to the sixth realm is the middle realm, and from the middle realm, the martial artist is no longer a mortal. The innate realm has a longevity of two hundred, the creation realm has a longevity of five hundred, and the Tongfa realm enjoys a thousand years. Theoretically, there should be a lot of long-aged monsters in Qingzhou in the Northern Regions.
However, among the people Zhang Nan has seen, the innate realm is rarely more than a hundred years old, and the creation realm and even the general law realm are also very young. That is, in the upper realm powerhouses above the reincarnation realm, you will see the kind of long-lived old monsters. But even in the reincarnation realm, age can't be considered too old.
Zhang Nan was puzzled about this for a while, but he never thought about it deeply. Even if he thought about it, he thought that he was like Chu Jiu and even those Supreme Elders of Snow Wind Island, hiding somewhere to retreat.
But Chu Jiuye suddenly mentioned this, and the facts were obviously a little different from what Zhang Nan thought.
"There are many talents in Qingzhou in the Northern Regions, and the number of powerhouses in the middle realm and even in the upper realm should not be the only ones now. Chu Jiuye said: "The reason why there are few is because most of them are dead, and they were all killed by someone." But the person who killed them was not from Qingzhou in the Northern Regions. ”
Zhang Nan's eyelids jumped: "What does the Ninth Master mean, is it all made by demons?"
Chu Jiu smiled and didn't answer directly, "Sir has fought with the Demon Emperor Venerable in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he already knows what kind of danger Qingzhou in the Northern Regions has been facing. For so many years, it has been Jianlou who has guarded Yunshan and Qingzhou. But it's not just the Sword Tower that has contributed.
Every year, the Sword Tower will recruit warriors from the four realms to go to Yunshan to fight demons through different ways. Some people go for profit, some for cultivation, but there are many more who don't ask for anything in return. ”
Zhang Nan was stunned.
No matter how strong the Sword Tower is, it is only a sect force, and it is somewhat reluctant to block the invasion of Demon Prefecture with the power of one family. Previously, Zhang Nan knew that the Sword Tower would recruit martial artists, and Xue Binghan also mentioned it. It's just that at that time, Zhang Nan didn't think that the scale would be so large.
Listening to Chu Jiuye's meaning, almost all the strong people in Qingzhou might go to Yunshan to fight. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to kill so many people, and it would have led to a fault in the age group of the top powerhouses.
Zhang Nan was silent for a moment and said, "Does the Ninth Master want to talk to Zhang about a sense of responsibility? ”
What Mr. Zhang said is easy to understand, and this is indeed what old decay means. Chu Jiuye smiled: "But don't worry, sir, the old man doesn't mean to kidnap you with these big truths." Just wanted to tell the gentleman that you can not take this responsibility, but also don't pull your feet behind it,"
"What does the Ninth Master mean, co-authored Zhang to help the demons?" Zhang Nan rolled his eyes.
"Sir, I misunderstood. Chu Jiuye hurriedly said: "By defeating the Demon Emperor and closing the teleportation array, Mr.'s contribution to Qingzhou is no less than that of the strong man of the Sword Tower." ”
"It's not interesting to say that. Zhang Nan said: "If the ninth master has something to say, please say it directly." ”
"The Sword Tower and many sect powerhouses protect Qingzhou, but they are not only fighting in the front, they can be regarded as contributions. Chu Jiuye continued: "Just like marching and fighting, there are people who fight, but the logistics of military salaries, grain and grass must also keep up. Jianlou and many sect powerhouses fought in the front, and it was a secular dynasty like Chu Yunguo that provided logistical support. ”
"You've come full circle, and you've come back in circles. Zhang Nan smiled: "I understand what you mean, Nantang is relatively small, and it does not hinder the overall situation, but Chuyun has a lot of land and resources, if there is chaos, it will even affect the peace of the entire Qingzhou." ”
"Mr. Zhang, you still don't realize the seriousness of this matter, and the old man is not exaggerating. Chu Jiuye said with a solemn face:
"The six major countries of Qingzhou have also fought against each other, but they have never really started a big war. This is not because the emperors have no ambition and do not want to, but they simply can't. In the face of the enemy of the outer lands, the world has too little combat power to contribute. Among the six countries, except for Qin Fengguo, who has the ability to participate in the war, the remaining five countries will hand over seventy percent of their income every year to the Sword Tower and the major sects. But even Qin Fengguo has to come up with forty percent. No matter which of these six countries has a mess, Qingzhou can't afford it. ”
Chu Jiu Ye paused and added, "What I said is confidential even in Chu Yun's country. Except for the emperor and a few prime ministers, no one knew. In addition to income, there is also a strict division of human and material resources. If I, Chu Yun, stop supplying, the powerhouses of the sect will come to the door the next day. ”
Zhang Nan had surprise in his eyes, and secretly judged how true Chu Jiuye's words were.
Previously, because of the matter between Situ Xia Zhen and the Zhenbei Army, Zhang Nan knew that Jianlou would intervene in the dispute between major powers. But I never expected that the secular dynasty would have such a tribute agreement with the sect, and even the proportions were clearly divided.
"That's why King Liang is rebelling, so you don't care. Because although he rebelled, he did not let Chu Yunguo be in turmoil. Zhang Nan has basically believed it. Because this lie is easy to be exposed, Chu Jiu will not be so stupid to deceive him with this kind of thing.
"Exactly. I don't care who is the emperor, but Chu Yun must not mess up. Besides, it's not my will alone. Chu Jiuye said in his words: "No matter what Mr. Zhang does when he comes back, he must be cautious. ”
Zhang Nan glanced at Chu Jiuye and said, "I understand what you mean, but just these words don't seem to be a 'big secret'." ”
"Not really. Chu Jiuye glanced at Zhang Nan deeply: "Although the demons of the Polar Demon Prefecture are tyrannical, they are not the most dangerous enemy for the Northern Regions Qingzhou. ”
Zhang Nan was secretly shocked in his heart.
He had just fought with the big-eyed demon Emperor Zun, and he didn't even kill the other party with Wu Hai's attack, which showed the strength of that Emperor Zun. In the Polar Demon State, there is more than one emperor, plus countless demon clan powerhouses, is it not even the most dangerous enemy?
Zhang Nan thought for a moment and said, "Zhang knows that there are seven major states, but he knows very little about anything other than Qingzhou. Isn't it that in addition to the Polar Demon Prefecture, other states are also hostile to Qingzhou?"
Chu Jiu Ye looked at Zhang Nan for a while before he spoke: "Qingzhou in the Northern Regions and Demon Prefecture in the Polar Region originally belonged to one state, and then they were divided into two parts. The demons invaded to recapture their so-called ancestral land, which was similar to the two countries fighting for territory. But there are other threats that go beyond this mere territorial struggle. There are some people who want not land, but the foundation of Qingzhou!"
In the end, Chu Jiuye's tone became more and more excited, and he changed his usual elder demeanor, and his expression was full of irrepressible anger and even jealousy.
"Who is it?" asked Zhang Nan Zhengse.
Chu Jiuye was silent for a long time and replied, "I don't know either. ”
"Grass. Zhang Nan said.
