Chapter 26: Balance

How to hold this Cloud Palace, do your ancestors know?

After listening to Leng Yan's speech, Xia Fan looked at the other party with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

In the face of such a behemoth, not everyone has the courage to rise up and resist.

He didn't know much about the Demon Sect.

But at least I know that people in the rivers and lakes talk about the Demon Sect and change color, which shows the deterrent power of the Demon Sect in the rivers and lakes.

However, the Cloud Hall once disintegrated the Demon Sect in its heyday.

This terrifying strength made Xia Fan stunned.

"Since the Cloud Hall in your mouth is so powerful, wouldn't it be easy for the other party to destroy you?"

But.

Xia Fan was quite concerned about one thing.

"Childe, although the Yunxiao Palace is powerful, but the Yunxiao Palace is hindered by many scruples, and does not dare to set foot in the affairs of the temple and the rivers and lakes in a big way. Leng Yan looked at Xia Fan with a smile, as if he had already understood what he was thinking. "Do you know how the Middle Ages ended?"

"I know, I know. ”

As soon as he said this, he was excited.

Because he just happened to read books on this subject, he happened to be able to learn and sell them now.

"The book says that at the end of the Middle Ages, there was a guy named King Wu who planned to dominate the world to end the disputes between the princes for many years, but the battle was fought in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and finally a Gou Sheng named the White Emperor picked up the cheap, thus creating the era of imperial autocracy in ancient times. ”

"What Childe said has actually been deleted and modified by successive dynasties. Leng Yan casually glanced at the books on the table. "In fact, the end of the Middle Ages was entirely due to the intensification of the contradictions between the major sects, and finally the inevitable outbreak of all-out war. ”

"What?"

Didn't I read the book in vain in the past two days?

Xia Fan thought to himself.

After Leng Yan's explanation, he finally understood what had been deleted from the book.

It turns out that in the Middle Ages, when a hundred flowers were blooming, each vassal state relied on different sect forces behind it, which was quite ****.

It's been a long time.

It is inevitable that conflicts and contradictions will arise between countries because of various relations.

This situation can be known if you think about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life.

The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.

Over the years, the contradictions have escalated step by step.

The entire land of Shenzhou has been turned into a powder keg.

In the end, a person named King Wu blew it up.

This one is fried.

The countless sects that once spread in the Middle Ages were completely destroyed in the mutual attack.

Afterwards, I looked at the devastated land of China.

The remaining major sects all calmed down, and at the same time reached a unanimous consensus at the negotiating table.

In the future, all major sects will not be allowed to interfere in the rule and strife of the world.

That being said.

But everyone has selfish intentions, but as long as they don't do too much on the surface, they will turn a blind eye to each other.

If someone dares to tear up the agreement, it will inevitably upset the original fragile balance.

At that time, it will inevitably trigger a new round of sect wars.

And that's something that no one wants to see.

Just as the major sects have acquiesced to the fact that the Cloud Hall is secretly fanning the flames, but if you, the main master, dare to jump out in a grand manner, then don't blame everyone for being unkind.

If not.

How could the Great Jin Dynasty dare to be the enemy of the Cloud Palace?

Because they know.

The Cloud Hall didn't dare to tear its face with the major sects at all.

For example, the Cloud Hall is roughly like the American emperor in the previous life.

Although I was doing things everywhere, I remained restrained on the whole.

It's just that no one wants to see the arrival of World War III.

"I see. Xia Fan, who had roughly sorted out his thoughts, said thoughtfully. "Actually, this time you are not so much suppressing the Relief Army as it is a contest with the Cloud Palace?"

"More than just the Sky Palace......

Leng Yan said with a complicated look.

"Well, I won't ask. ”

Xia Fan was too lazy to continue to consume brain cells.

Although he had already guessed that this war was not so simple.

But the complexity was beyond his imagination.

"I only have one last question left. ”

"Childe, excuse me. ”

"If I offend the Sky Palace, will I be in trouble?"

Xia Fan asked a little knowingly.

"No, it won't. ”

Leng Yan shook his head and said.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Xia Fan shook his eyebrows.

"As long as Gongzi didn't kill the people of Yunxiao Palace, Yunxiao Palace would naturally not investigate it afterwards. "The cold smoke is chiseled.

"Let's change someone. ”

Xia Fan thought for a moment and said.

"Isn't Childe a slave who doesn't believe in the slave family?"

Leng Yanxiu frowned lightly and said aggrievedly.

"Yes. ”

Xia Fan said calmly.

It's not that he's afraid of the Cloud Palace.

Instead, he was worried that the other party would do everything to pull him onto the thief ship.

"......," Leng Yan sighed softly after a moment of silence. "Since the son has said this, the slave family will naturally not force the childe. ”

At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

It turned out that it was the second child in the store who brought in the wine and food.

"Let's have a bite to eat?"

When the wine and food were served, Xia Fan asked casually.

"Childe, please use it slowly, because the slave family still has some things to report back to the division. ”

Leng Yan shook his head absentmindedly, and then got up and retreated.

"Walk slowly. ”

Xia Fan ignored the cold smoke from leaving, and directly picked up the meal by himself and ate it.

"That's right, Childe. ”

Before walking out of the door.

Leng Yan suddenly stopped and said.

"Anything else?" Xia Fan glanced up at her.

"Zhong Liyuan is here, please be careful during this time. ”

After saying that, the figure of Leng Yan disappeared into the room.

"I always feel that this Wanyang is becoming more and more unsafe. ”

Xia Fan muttered to himself, but the dishes and chopsticks in his hand did not stop.

Finish dinner.

He picked up the scroll that the cold cigarette handed to him again, and looked at it carefully.

But he wasn't concerned about the Forgotten Souls Sect's intelligence.

It is the descendant of Heluo, Lin He.

Judging from the records inside, the other party is like a traveler, and basically all over China has left his own footprints.

Ten days ago.

Lin He's last place of stay was Pingyang County, Sizhou.

Although it is recorded in the document that he is suspected of having met with Lu Chongyi, the leader of the Sizhou rebels.

But Xia Fan had a strange feeling.

He felt that Lin He was also investigating himself.

Because the place where he crossed and was born was Tong County, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingyang County, Sizhou.

Although ten years have passed, there are still many people in Ketong County who remember their names.

If Lin He is interested in investigating, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to find out his identity and origin.

The problem is that –

What is he investigating? Is this a mutual probing between "fellow villagers"?

Meanwhile.

Wanyang Office ushered in a distinguished guest.

Even Gu Xiqiao, who had not recovered from his injuries, endured the pain and came out to greet him.

Because the one who came was Zhong Liyuan.

The other party is not just Su Yanfu's old friend.

is also an elder that Gu Xiqiao is familiar with.

When he stayed in the master and had not yet stepped into the rivers and lakes, he often came to the Sword Pavilion to discuss swordsmanship with Gu Xiqiao's master.

One comes and goes.

We all have some camaraderie for each other.

He came to see Zhong Liyuan out of etiquette and respect for the younger generation.

More importantly, he wanted to plead with the other party for something.

Xia Fan.

Can't stay in Wanyang.
