The head of the Qingyue Sect, the head of the Qing Yue Sect, was still in retreat.

At present, the affairs of the whole faction are in the hands of the elders.

At this moment, they were also discussing the death of the emperor and the notice of the Dinghua faction on the 'council' of the mountain.

"To put it mildly, the death of the emperor is a great good thing for us," after the elders discussed for a while, a white-bearded elder said, "Xufeng Chenhui will take over the throne of the earth, and he will definitely be personally with our faction, and he will not come to hold us accountable for withdrawing this matter during the siege of Dinghua Mountain, so we should write a letter to the court in the name of the head of the family, not only to express the remembrance of the former emperor, but also to express that he will be loyal to the new emperor in the future." ”

"How many people do you think will believe what the emperor said in his edict: when besieging the capital, the prince was actually imprisoned, and the 'prince' who led us was pretended to be a person who was a winter cicada. Someone suddenly asked this question, apparently the other elders had not thought about it, and there was a moment of silence on the stage.

"What does it matter, as long as we are not held responsible, whether it is true or not, these things will only become rumors among the people over time. ”

"It's a big deal," said the elder who asked the question, "It's just the others, but we are fighting all the way from the country of Ma Si to the capital with Xufeng Chenhui, and we both know each other whether this matter is the work of the winter cicada or not, even if we can always pretend to be stupid, for Xufeng Chenhui, we, the Jianghu sects that we conquer with it, will all become a problem in his heart, just ask, which emperor will let his secret be known by so many people." ”

The elders really didn't think about this point, and they exchanged their heads and ears for a while.

Elder Yin said: "That's right! The Dinghua faction dared to issue such a notice at this time, not only because the imperial court did not have the energy to deal with this matter, but also because they saw this layer of 'window paper' between the new emperor and our various factions, the new emperor would not know when this layer of paper would be pierced by someone, and he would definitely take action in the future, and Yue Shifeng should have expected that someone from our sect would find out about this." ”

"In that case, what should we say on the Dinghua faction's side?"

"The Dinghua faction is already blatantly trying to draw a line with the imperial court, and we must not go along with it," Elder Yin said thoughtfully, "Presumably, Wuquanzhuang, Fengling Tower, Baiwu Temple, and Xueyi Mountain Villa will not take care of him, but the Xuanyuemen side seems to have eliminated the mustard with the Dinghua faction, and I don't know how to express its position." ”

"However, after the battle of Dinghua Mountain, Wu Quanzhuang's strength is no longer what it used to be, and their attitude is of no use to us at all," an elder said bluntly, "In this matter of the Dinghua faction, our faction should first see the actions of the Xuanyue Sect, and the imperial court side must not be lazy - in fact, no matter what the method is, at least we must not be the first bird." ”

There was silence again on the 'council'.

The elders were meditating on what to do.

Elder Yin lightly knocked on the wooden table in front of him: "I have an idea, you see if it can work, and immediately give the Hua faction a reply, saying that this matter is not only about the relationship between the two factions, but also about the stability of the rivers and lakes, such a major matter can only be decided by the head, and the head is just in retreat, so I can delay it first, and it depends on the attitude of Xuanyuemen - as for the imperial court, we must not be too flattering, and we still focus on delaying and slowing, after all, we can't let the world laugh at us. ”

"Okay! Just do what Senior Brother Yin wants!"

The efficiency of the Qingyue faction has always been very high.

Soon after the 'council' was dispersed, two letters were sent to Dinghua Mountain and the capital respectively.

Two days later, the news came back - Xuanyuemen supported the decision of the Dinghua faction on the one hand, and said that he would still abide by the rules of the 'Quartet and Ten Factions' on the other hand.

"This Xuanyue Gate is going with us. "Being able to find a 'partner' with the same position, the Qingyue faction is also a lot more relaxed.

"But we can't say the same thing as them, Xuanyuemen has been suffering from various changes during this period of time, and it should be difficult for them to recover on their own," Elder Yin said, "And my faction is different, there is no big loss, so we should learn from the Dinghua faction, so as to draw a line with the imperial court, otherwise it will be a dead end, and the four words 'Quartet and Ten Factions' are just shackles for us, and they have no meaning, and we must not put them into it ourselves." ”

The elders understood the meaning of these words, which caused quite a commotion.

"Senior Brother Yin has thought that this is a point of no return, and the reason why the Dinghua faction dares to do this is because they have become the number one faction in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and they have long had a deterrent effect on the imperial court, which can be seen from the fact that the imperial court only agreed that they did not have to go to the front line. ”

"Tan Yongjing of Xuanyue Gate is not stupid, he must also want to draw a line with the imperial court, but their ability is limited now, neither party can offend but both parties are offended, but this is also the only feasible way for them," Elder Yin said, "However, we have more choices, we don't have to cut it off with a knife like the Dinghua faction, we will wait until the time is suitable for us, and then it is not too late to draw a clear line with the imperial court." ”

No one else disagreed.

Elder Yin nodded: "Then do it, I will go to Dinghua Mountain immediately, Senior Brother Zhou, you bring a few disciples to send the head to the capital on my behalf." ”
