"It's so unreasonable! Open trade, open factories, and garrison troops in three counties... This... If this is known to the royal family, it will punish the nine clans!" Guan Peng shook his head and muttered to himself while looking at the agreement, his face full of anxiety and sorrow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"No, no! Although Lord Lin has a life-saving grace for our clan alliance, this request he made is to force us into the opposite path of confrontation with the royal clan! Since the turmoil in the Gui Kingdom, our clans have been able to continue in such a harsh environment to this day, relying on the word prudence. Although the royal family is in decline now, there is no day of recovery, if we do something against them now, and they recover in the future, and use this matter as a lever to question us, it will be troublesome..."Liu Jing, the patriarch of the Liu family, agreed with Guan Peng's approach, and was deeply disturbed by Linda's request for a trade deal.

Only Zhang Yu, the patriarch of the Zhang clan on the side, was silent, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two.

After being silent for a moment, Guan Peng's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he hesitated: "Why don't we secretly report this matter to the royal family first and listen to their opinions?"

Liu Jing's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "No! If the royal family knows about this, won't it expose the plan of Lord Lin and the others? If the royal family blames them for this, then what can be done?

Hearing this, Guan Peng suddenly showed a look of annoyance, and hurriedly said, "Hehe, this is just an idea in the next place." Xiaoyu County has a great kindness to our World Clan Alliance, how can we do anything unfavorable to them. It's just that now that we are faced with such a choice, we dare not violate the king's decree, and we can't refuse Lord Lin's request, so what should we do?"

Liu Jing sighed lightly, and there was nothing he could do about it. After a moment of silence, Zhang Yu, who had not explained, suddenly said: "Two, the old man asked the two of you, do you believe in the Mandate of Heaven?"

"Destiny, why does Brother Zhang ask this?" Guan Peng said strangely.

"Destiny, does Brother Zhang want to talk to us about the future development of Guiguo's national fortunes? This has something to do with the trade we discussed?" Liu Jing seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.

"Of course it matters, you should think about my question first!" Zhang Yu said in a deep voice.

The so-called destiny of heaven is nothing more than the development trajectory of the cultivation world! Those high-level cultivators all have boundless mana, they can steal the sky and change the moon, and they can move mountains and reclaim the sea, and their every move will affect the world. Mortals can only multiply by relying on their protection. Therefore, people who cultivate the truth, all mortals in the world yearn for it, and even you and I are mortals, even if our qualifications are not good, we do not spend a lot of money to embark on the road of cultivation? At that time, the Mandate of Heaven is my wish! Therefore, the Mandate of Heaven is the will of the cultivator!" Liu Jing explained, revealing a trace of helplessness and yearning in his tone.

"Yes! You look at the tens of thousands of countries in the Terran Continent, and aren't all the cultivators who rule all the countries and forces? The stronger the cultivators, the greater the power, just like our Gui Kingdom, the Gui royal family is the Mandate of Heaven to rule the world of Gui Kingdom, and their orders are the Mandate of Heaven. Guan Peng followed Liu Jing's words and analyzed, not daring to have a trace of disrespect for the majesty of the royal family.

"But have you ever thought about it, if this day changes, then what?" Zhang Yu sneered, and suddenly threw out such a sentence, which made Guan and Liu's faces change suddenly.

"Why does Brother Zhang say this! This kind of thing can't be said casually!" Liu Jing said with a panicked expression, and at the same time released his limited spiritual sense to scan around, for fear of being heard by others.

"Hahaha! Brother Liu, don't be so alarmed! Brother Liu's words have their own reason!" Zhang Yu laughed, not feeling anything wrong with what he said just now.

"How do you say this? If you let the people of the royal family hear it, we will have to destroy the clan!" Guan Peng asked equally nervously.

"The royal family, the royal family is now too busy to take care of themselves, how can they possibly know what we are discussing tonight?" Zhang Yu said disapprerovingly, but leaned back in his chair and took a sip of tea gently.

"Brother Zhang, the issue we are discussing now is whether or not to sign an agreement with Lord Lin, what is your intention in suddenly raising these questions?" Liu Jing saw that Zhang Yu was not talking casually, thought for a moment, and asked very seriously.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "What Brother Liu said is right, what I said just now does have other meanings. He paused slightly, and then said, "Two, do you know that the current Gui Kingdom is the situation of the world?"

"How can there be a quarter of the world?" Liu Jing said puzzled.

"These four points are naturally the Gui royal family, the Yue Kingdom, the noble alliance, and the Fan army of Xiaoyu County! These four major forces each occupy one side, if one side can overwhelm the other three, then it is the master of the Gui Kingdom!" Zhang Yu said proudly.

"Fan Jun, how can you count the Fan Army? Could it be that Lord Lin, they are not knights conferred by the royal family, and they belong to the royal family's power? How can they also be listed as a force by you?" Guan Peng asked in surprise.

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Two, your ethnic group migrated from the western and central parts of the Gui Kingdom to the three counties respectively, and I really don't know the origin of the Fan Army. As you know, Lord Lin and the Blue Star Autonomous Group to which he belonged were mortal immigrants who migrated to Xiaoyu County from the open sea five years ago. However, in a year or two, they have made earth-shaking changes in the entire Xiaoyu County, such as guns, electric lights, fertilizers and other novelties, all of which are in their hands. ”

"More than a year ago, in order to meet the needs of the royal family to recruit monks, the Li clan forcibly recruited the entire Blue Star Autonomous Regiment to join the Xiuzhen army, which allowed them to embark on the road of cultivation. But to the surprise of the Li clan and the royal family, these people who call themselves the Blue Star Autonomous Group are not only all people with superior cultivation qualifications, all of them have advanced by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and they have also broken away from the control of the Li clan and the royal family step by step, from a team of more than 100 people to the current powerful force of tens of thousands of people, and they have repeatedly defeated the powerful Vietnamese army and aristocratic army. The royal family saw that they were powerful, so they had to make Lord Lin and others princes and marquises, hoping to win their support. In fact, the Xiaoyu County Blue Star Autonomous Group is not bound by anyone, and it is a very powerful independent force in Guiguo, of course, it can be regarded as one of the four major forces!" Zhang Yu slowly analyzed.

"I see! Then if we accept Lord Lin's agreement, what is it? Is it considered a betrayal of the royal family? How should we choose?!" Liu Jing suddenly realized, and his heart was suddenly full of doubts.

Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "The old man thinks that the only choice we have now is to join the Blue Star Autonomous Group and join this most promising force!"

"Defect to the Blue Star Autonomous Group?Why is this?Aren't we from the Gui Kingdom?What about the royal family?!" Guan Peng and Liu Jing were surprised, and almost jumped up from their chairs.

Zhang Yu sneered: "The royal family, do you think that with the current situation, the royal family will still be able to monopolize the world of Gui in the future? Since the battle of Tianlun Peak, the royal army has been defeated all the way from the three central counties, and the four western counties have been handed over to the Vietnamese army. In addition, the nobles rebelled, and the four counties to which they belonged broke away from the Gui State, and they occupied the back and the three central counties in one fell swoop. Now the areas that really belong to the rule of the royal family are only the three counties near Xiangcheng, and even the three southern counties of our country did not send troops to shelter when they encountered the invasion of the Vietnamese army! Not to mention that they did nothing to do and reacted to the Vietnamese army's arbitrary massacre of the people of Gui State! The indifferent attitude of the royal family is really chilling, and it is even more demoralizing to the people of the world! You say, how much strength does the royal family still have?"

"Having said that, the main force of the entire royal army is still there, and it still occupies the elephant city with the most abundant spiritual power, and there is some possibility of revival! If we switch to the Blue Star Autonomous Group, won't we deeply offend the royal family?" Guan Peng was still a little reassured.

"Revival? That is just the extravagant hope of the royal family! Do you know why I just asked you where the destiny of heaven is? The old man thinks that the so-called mandate of heaven is in the hearts of the people! What the people want, and where the world returns! Those who have the mandate of heaven are in line with the time and the will of the people, so that they can get the world! Nowadays, whether it is the royal family, the Vietnamese army, or the nobles, they are all high-ranking forces in cultivating the truth, and they all regard the mortals in the world as grass and mustard, and they collect heavy taxes in peacetime, and they are pushed to cannon fodder in wartime, who cares about the suffering of the people in the world? For thousands of years on the Terran Continent, only the Blue Star Autonomous Group to which Lord Lin belongs, has taken it as its mission to save the world's mortals, and since Tianlun Peak retreated to Xiaoyu County, how many mortals have been trapped in the sea of suffering? This kind of love for the people is rare in the world! Xiaoyu County has won the hearts of all mortals in Guiguo, and from this point of view, the Blue Star Autonomous Group is the true destiny of heaven!" Zhang Yu slapped the table and said loudly and categorically.

When Liu Jing and Guan Peng heard this, they were silent for a long time, and then they suddenly realized. Liu Jing let out a long breath and said to Zhang Yu: "The two of us are stupid, we don't know the destiny of heaven, and we almost delayed the future of our clan. Fortunately, with Brother Tai's guidance, I had an epiphany. If the general trend changes suddenly, whether the three clans are advancing or retreating, rising or falling, everything will obey Brother Zhang's instructions!"

Zhang Yu nodded, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Two virtuous brothers! According to the old man's idea, now we must not only accept Lord Lin's proposal in its entirety, but also enter our ability to fully support Xiaoyu County! Think about it, with Lord Lin's profound supernatural powers and the powerful strength of the mortal army, how can they be willing to rule under the feet of the royal family? They must have the heart to stand on their own, but the time has not yet come, and it is not easy to announce! If we do our best to help him before he does anything, when he succeeds in the future, it will be the day when the three clans will prosper!"

"Okay! Everything will be done according to Brother Tai's wishes!" Liu Jing and Guan Peng held Zhang Yu's hands tightly and said excitedly, their blood boiling, as if they had seen the scene of the family's prosperity.

On the second day, the World Clan Alliance convened the General Fono again, formally expressing to Linda that he agreed to accept the agreement he proposed, and at the same time, in order to thank Linda for his help, it was decided to donate a large number of urgently needed food and materials to Xiaoyu County. And the Zhang, Liu, and Guan clans even privately proposed to Lin Da that they would hand over the clan guards under their own family's jurisdiction to the commander of the Fan Army.

Lin Da was surprised to see that the World Clan Alliance had agreed to his request so quickly, and he could get a large amount of food and supplies, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and when he received the request of the patriarch of the three clans, he also guessed a little bit of the meaning of the three major families, and accepted it very calmly. This also made the World Alliance breathe a sigh of relief and went all out to support Xiaoyu County.

In March of the 11th year of the Blue Star Era, Xiaoyu County began to open a large number of factories in the three counties, began to develop the resources of the three counties, and established modern industry and agriculture according to the model of Xiaoyu County. What is shocking is that the World Clan Alliance, in the name of defecting to the protector Lin Da, actually took the initiative to sacrifice all the administrative power of the three counties to Lin Da!

As a result, the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment naturally accepted the jurisdiction of the three counties, and sent a large number of people from Xiaoyu County and the Fan Army to serve as local administrators in various parts of the three counties. At the same time, the army under the command of the World Alliance was also incorporated into the Fan Army by Lin Dayi, forming the 11th to 15th Garrison Corps, making the number of the Fan Army 150,000 at once. The Blue Star Autonomous Group obtained the land of the three counties, and its sphere of influence expanded nearly seven or eight times at once, and the total population increased by nearly ten times, especially the rich food and mineral resources of the three southern counties, and its strength began to develop by leaps and bounds!
