CHAPTER XXVI
Maybe it's because of Zhang Xiao's relationship, and then on the way to Yanjing, he really never encountered any obstacles, as if all the enemies had a tacit understanding at this time, as if they chose to avoid the sword god at the same time.
After 20 years, Qin Feiling finally returned to Yanjing, and when he saw the gate of Yanjing City, he really had mixed feelings.
Several people did not choose to live in a post house or an inn, but directly followed Zhang Xiao to live in the Sword Pavilion, you must know that this kind of treatment is not something that anyone is eligible to enjoy, that is, Qin Feiling will have such an opportunity by virtue of his relationship with Zhang Xiao, plus Lin Qi and Firefly.
In this way, it also made many people who were secretly monitoring Qin Feiling and wanted to stab the knife in the back of the book disappointed for a while, after all, this is Yanjing City, and it is even just a contest to fight against the Sword Pavilion here, it is estimated that ordinary people do not have such courage.
Although it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, the entire Yanjing City is also stable and prosperous as always, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the family is harmonious and healthy, but those who are really in the center of power can really see that in today's Dahua Imperial Capital, it can be said that there is an undercurrent, all forces are eyeing each other, and a fierce battle seems to be about to break out, perhaps the fuse of this is the man who just entered the city, Qin Feiling!
It is said that during this time, Zhang Xiao was very busy, and the affairs from the palace were chaotic and numerous, which also made the sword god of the world busy for a while, even so, Zhang Xiao never complained, no matter how big or small the things were, they should be done, and try their best to complete them, which can be regarded as a posture of the Sword Pavilion.
Therefore, the affairs of the Sword Pavilion fell on Chen Zizheng.
This time, it was also Chen Zizheng who was responsible for receiving and arranging Qin Feiling and others, and the one who was watching the tea on the side could be regarded as Lin Qi's acquaintance, a kid, it was Lin Qi's first disciple of the Sword Pavilion who came to the capital to block the road, and Liu Jihui, a young man of the Liu family who was rescued from the hands of the gray-clothed swordsman Du Beifeng.
When he saw Lin Qi, Liu Jihui seemed to be a little unhappy, but he was glared at by Chen Zizheng, but he still obediently showed tea to a few guests.
Lin Qi also knew that the other party was angry with him because of his brother Liu Jizong, but in fact, he had no malicious intent, so he didn't care, and even intended to have a good relationship with the other party.
"Jihui, how is Brother Liu doing?"
Speaking of which, it seems that after Liu Jizong lost to the Seventh Prince at the martial arts conference, Lin Qi never saw him again, and during this period of recuperation, it is estimated that the injury is almost recovered, but this time when he came to the Sword Pavilion, he still did not see him.
Hearing Lin Qi ask about his brother, Liu Jihui's expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Brother, he...... Not so good!"
Lin Qi was slightly stunned, a little puzzled, and was about to ask, but suddenly heard Chen Zizheng coughing, as if he had deliberately interrupted their words.
"Jizong has been in the process of recuperating since he was injured last time, but because of his own reasons, he has not recovered to the best, however, many things need to depend on his own efforts, so even if we are in a hurry, it will not help. β
Chen Zizheng seemed to have something to say, which also made Lin Qi a little puzzled, and Liu Jihui listened to it, and returned to silence, but after that, because Chen Zizheng chatted with Qin Feiling again, Lin Qi couldn't interject for a while, and this matter could only be put aside for the time being.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that during this time, the Dusk Snow Clan has sent a mission to Yanjing City in order to ask my Dahua to jointly resist the invasion of the grassland people, I don't know what the situation is now?"
Hearing Qin Feiling's question, Chen Zizheng put down the tea in his hand first.
"Well, there is such a thing, but Mr. Qin, you also know that although my Sword Pavilion has its own unique intelligence agency, in fact, there are many places and things that our Sword Pavilion cannot or even has the right to touch or interfere with, so we can't understand the deeper situation, but what we can know now is that the request of the Twilight Snow Clan's mission has not made any progress at this stage, not only that, but not long ago, the mission from the grassland people also arrived, and it seems that in the current situation, it is still the grassland people who have the upper hand!"
"The steppe people have arrived, too?"
Hearing Chen Zizheng's words, everyone was also unexpected.
Although I don't know what kind of interests and requirements the grassland people brought to Dahua this time, but according to the consistent character of the grassland people, the wolf's ambition is obvious, and it is very likely that he hopes to be able to make peace with the Dahua soldiers, and destroy and divide the Dusk Snow Clan, so that whether it is Dahua or the grassland, the threat from the western region will be gone, and it seems to be a thing that is beneficial to both sides, but without the constraints of a third party, I am afraid that the confrontation between Dahua and the grassland will become more direct!
Of course, Dahua also knows this situation, but because Dongdao has just been included in Dahua's territory, Dahua's side can be described as full of morale and confidence, no matter what the provocation of that side is not afraid, and even more so they don't take the grassland people in their eyes at all, seeing that there is an opportunity to eliminate the Dusk Snow Clan and continue to expand Dahua's territory, such a magnificent feat, no matter who wants to get a share, only the threat of the grassland people, they have long been indifferent!
However, even if Dahua really had such an idea, the grassland people would not let Dahua enter the dominant position so easily, and even the final partition wanted to occupy more, in such a situation, there was such a thing as the grassland people's mission.
After listening to Chen Zizheng's overview, after analyzing, some of the current situations have begun to see the outline, although Qin Feiling frowned, but his eyes were very sharp, Lin Qi has lived in the mountains for more than ten years, and he has never seen the eyes of his sixth master, when there is such a bright time, maybe only after entering the field that a person is really familiar with, will he behave like this!
Maybe at this time, the only one who can help the third master Mu Xuanli is the sixth master.
"Hmph, can the grassland people have an advantage? It seems that those old guys in the court who are the lords and factions have resorted to means!"
Hearing Qin Feiling's words, Chen Zizheng also smiled.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Qin, there is indeed such a thing, but now the Lord and the faction are not only some old guys, although these old faces are still playing a leading role, there can be more and more young talents to join in, and with the stability and peace of Dahua in recent years, the power of the Lord and the faction is also expanding. β
Originally, the main battle faction only had a hostile plot with the grassland, but perhaps because the prestige and situation of the faction in the court were getting worse and worse, it also caused some people to have other ideas, some people even thought that whether it was the grassland people or the twilight snow tribe, they were all the enemies of Dahua, no matter how to get rid of the threat of that side first, it was considered to be the purpose of the main battle faction, and the current power of the grassland people was indeed due to these peopleγ β
After listening to Chen Zizheng's words, Qin Feiling actually sneered.
What is the threat from the Twilight Snow Clan, from ancient times to the present, the forces that really have the ability to threaten the Central Plains, in addition to the wilderness, there is only the grassland, as for the East Island or the Snow Mountain, it is just an addition, whether in terms of topography or scale, these two parties are actually not to worry, and today, this threat, in fact, there is only one side of the grassland, what is the rhetoric of removing the twilight snow first, and then destroying the grassland, it is even more nonsense. β
Now that the East Island has been broken, it has been classified into Dahua, and the Tianshan Duxue Clan is even weaker, and now it is impossible to pose a threat to Dahua at all, and the Wu Clan in the Wild Land is still divided, and now the various ethnic groups are even more busy taking care of themselves, where will they have the energy to take care of Dahua's side.
So after thinking about it, the enemy of the Dahua Dynasty now is actually only the grassland side!
"What Mr. Qin said is very reasonable, but if according to what Mr. said, if you want to help the Twilight Snow Clan fight against the grassland, you don't seem to find a good reason, and if you just let it go, let the grassland people swallow the Twilight Snow Clan, it doesn't seem to be willing, so it will be a bit of a dilemma. After listening to Qin Feiling's words, Chen Zizheng also raised his own objections.
But after hearing this, Qin Feiling shook his head.
"What does it mean to not find a good reason? As long as you don't let your enemies gain benefits, this alone is enough! I think many people are actually just like Mr. Chen, blinded by the current complicated situation, and forget the most fundamental problem! Our enemies are the grassland people, as long as they are the enemies of the grassland people, they can be our allies, not to mention that there is a saying called survival and death, without the containment of the Northwest Dusk Snow Clan, if you want to resist the attack of the grassland people on the Dahua border, it is easy to take care of one and lose the other! β
"You know, the steppe people are good at riding and shooting, they are a nation on horseback, they come and go freely, and they don't even have a fixed city-state as a stronghold, although it seems that my Dahua soldiers are not afraid of the cavalry of the steppe people, but if you really want to solve the stubborn disease of the steppe people, you must go deep into the grassland and uproot them, but is it really possible for us to do such a thing?"
didn't wait for Chen Zizheng to answer, but Qin Feiling went straight down, so it became a self-question.
"Of course it can't be done, not to mention how to track the traces of the enemy on the grassland, but the supply delivery is extremely difficult, even if the entire army has the strength of the grandmaster, but if there is no food, before the enemy is found, these grandmasters will starve to death on the grassland first!"
Qin Feiling's words made everyone silent for a while, and the atmosphere became very depressing in an instant, and even Liu Jihui, the young man who was in charge of pouring water on the side, seemed to feel a little out of breath.
"Sixth Master, in this way, it is not a war, it is not a war, it is not a dilemma, how do people choose this?
Hearing Lin Qi's question, Qin Feiling smiled.
"War, of course we have to fight, why not fight, what I just said is just a situation that will only be encountered when we go deep into the grassland, and this time, it is the grassland people themselves who came to the door, although it is impossible to completely eliminate this stubborn disease, but the war between my Central Plains and foreign races has always been like this! But as long as we can defeat the grassland people, make the grassland people feel pain, feel like crying, even if we complete our task, and the deeper the pain, the deeper they will remember, so after every big victory, these grassland people will definitely shrink on the grassland, recuperate for many years, the pain is so bad, even a hundred years dare not attack!"
When Qin Feiling spoke, Lin Qi always felt that there seemed to be endless brilliance on the body of the sixth master!
"Having said that!" Chen Zizheng's face was heavy, and he still seemed to have objections, "But once a war breaks out, no matter which aspect it is, it will definitely have a certain impact on Dahua, not to mention how the victory is, take 10,000 steps back, in Dahua's current time when the sun is in full swing, once it fails, can the court and the people really accept such a result? At that time, it is not only the war that will be lost, but also the heart, but also the pride, if it is serious, it will even cause more problems, sometimes the building will collapse, maybe just a thought!"
Chen Zizheng's words were indeed not unreasonable, and after listening to them, Qin Feiling's expression became a little solemn.
"Mr. Chen, when you say this, because you have not experienced the deceit of the court, you have not experienced the arduous life of the military, and you have not thought about the true meaning of war! Sometimes, when war really comes, you will not be given so much time to think about the consequences, and if you do not make the final preparations before the crisis is born, then it will be too late, and this is precisely the responsibility of our people, isn't it?"
"When the time comes, just think about winning, and that's it!"
After listening to Qin Feiling's words, Lin Qi suddenly felt deeply shocked, and at this time, there seemed to be a hot fire in his heart, which was burning.
And Chen Zizheng still seems to have objections.
"Mr. Qin, of course I know that war will not be so simple, but have you really considered what kind of situation the enemy we are going to face, and the variables that can affect the outcome of the war in the end?"
Hearing Chen Zizheng's words, not to mention Qin Feiling, even Lin Qi felt strange, as if Chen Zizheng had always had some concerns about this matter.
And Qin Feiling's eyes suddenly became cold.
"Chen Zizheng, do you mean, the grandmaster of the grassland people?"
Do the steppe people have a grandmaster?
"That's good!" As if in order to answer Lin Qi's inner doubts, Chen Zizheng began to explain, "Although the cultivation methods of the grassland people are different from those of us Central Plains people, they also have a similar existence to the grandmaster. β
"However, in the battle array, doesn't it mean that even the grandmaster will consume the effect very weakly for various reasons?"
"Even so, a grandmaster is a grandmaster!"
Chen Zizheng's words didn't seem to be explained, but they couldn't be refuted, yes, even if the grandmaster can't exert his full strength, then he is also a grandmaster!
"But, don't we still have Zhang Jianshen......?
Lin Qi suddenly wanted to talk about the grandmaster who was walking in the palace, but because he didn't know much about him, whether this person could be regarded as a combat force or not, he couldn't make a conclusion!
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Chen Zizheng smiled.
"No, Zhang Xiao can't leave Yanjing for too long. β
"Uh, why?"
"Because of Qu Yitong!" Chen Zizheng's words surprised Lin Qi, "Zhang Xiao and Qu Yitong have an agreement, as long as Zhang Xiao is in Yanjing for one day and Emperor Baoyang is safe for one day, she Qu Yitong will never come to assassinate Emperor Yang!
After speaking, Chen Zizheng looked back at Qin Feiling again.
"Mr. Qin, what I said is actually just a later word, as you said, I am not involved in the court, I can't change anything, but what I said is also a reminder to Mr., the problems you have to face now are not just what I said, even so, do you still have to insist on it?"
"Of course!" Even after listening to Chen Zizheng's words, Qin Feiling still didn't hesitate at all, "Since I'm back, I've never thought about the result, because I just need to win!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Heh!" Qin Feiling chuckled, and the whole person looked very free, "I want to reconvene the Liuli Pavilion!"
