Part 2 I Will the World Volume 11 Chapter 1 The Successor

In August 568 of the Eltino calendar, Reins took the royal capital

The news of 'Right Dacheng was assassinated in an encounter' shook the entire Jixia, and even spread throughout Reyns through the media in the next day.

In a sense, the severity of the matter was even greater than the death of the king himself. Reins has been in the country for a long time, and the queens of all dynasties are well-known magical geniuses, however, not every queen is an expert in governing the country, and there are many mediocre talents who are dizzy when they see the government affairs documents.

As long as the whole system is sound, even if the queen dies, all government affairs can be implemented stably, so Queen Nida and Queen Leah have died one after another, although the people of Reins feel sad, but there will be no panic, because the actual ruler still exists, and Reins's political situation will not change.

At that time, although Bai Wuji's status was only a cloth coat, with the title of a priest in vain, but he did not hold any political office, all the people of Reins knew that from the time of Queen Nida's reign, the talented second prince was responsible for drafting bills, examining the people's feelings and formulating policies.

On the other hand, without the nod of the owner of the white family, no policy can be steadily implemented in Reins. For thousands of years, the ruling system of the Bai family has long controlled the Reyns bureaucratic system, and almost all the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty have a relationship with the Bai family.

Bai Wuji's stabilizing effect on the entire Reyns is well known to everyone, and aside from the important surnames in government affairs, the people of Reins also like this easy-going, debauched second prince, and even think that he will live so long and be a hundred years old, because this second prince, who never shows his brilliance on the battlefield, does not look like a hero who will die a short life and die young.

Because of this, when the people of Reyns got up one day and were shocked to hear the news of Bai Wuji's assassination, this bad news hit the Reines people who were completely unprepared.

Without the central figure of this administrative system, what would the situation have become in the future? No one knows this, although King Lancelot's recent performance can indeed be called wise and powerful, but politics is not just the word 'wise' that can cover the past.

Politics is not like painting and literature and art, it is a subject that does not allow the existence of geniuses. Compared with personal talent and qualifications, we pay more attention to the accumulation and inheritance of long-term experience, and cannot afford the losses caused by risks. At first glance, a wise and decisive decision, if there is no far-sighted and practical vision, is likely to go in the wrong direction from the beginning, and in the end the self-righteous and virtuous government will cause the people to suffer in vain.

Historically, emperors who wanted to become a famous ruler at the beginning of their ascension to the throne and made drastic reforms, but because of setbacks in governance, they began to give up on themselves, and finally ended up as a tyrant. Even in modern times, the emperors of Altino have provided many good examples for this example.

What will happen to a white-lettered family that has lost its head?

Bai Wuji no longer has any blood relatives, and he can't find any qualified heir, who will succeed the head of the Bai family, and what will be the relationship with the current court? This is a difficult question that everyone is asking, but no one can answer.

"King Lancelot seems to be a very strong man, and there are a bunch of heavenly masters around him, will he ...... in order to unify the power of Reins?"

How to unify the royal power, no one dared to take this sentence, but everyone could hear it. In the past, for the power struggle in Reins, the court system under the queen has had countless open and secret battles with the Bai family, including assassinations, and with the strength of King Lancelot, most of them will not allow another power system in the country to compete with him, and if he takes any action, it is not an incredible thing.

Now, Reynes is shrouded in an atmosphere of mourning, everyone is mourning, and they are also waiting, wanting to see what kind of response King Lancelot will come up with, after all, if this turmoil cannot be dealt with quickly and allowed to expand, it will have a very negative impact on Reins, who is quickly recovering his national strength.

'In the name of the royal family of Reins, I hereby decree that the post of Right Prime Minister of Reines shall be temporarily vacant, and all government affairs shall be carried out by the king himself. ’

Bai Dezhao, the head of the cabinet, handled the government affairs that originally belonged to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but this administrative order was not as good as another news from within the Bai family.

'Her Royal Highness Princess Oda Ka, inheriting the position of the new head of the Bai family, leads the white character family. ’

This order shook the Rains government and the opposition, no matter what, it was outrageous to let an outsider who had nothing to do with Rainnes be the head of the house, Princess Oda Xiang was said to be a weak female who had not left the boudoir, and she was the head of the house, and of course the king of Lancelot behind her was in charge. This undoubtedly confirms the previous conspiracy theory, and King Lancelot took the power of the Bai family for himself in this form.

Will the Bai family, who hold the actual military and political power, resist such an obvious act of annexation? For a time, Reynes's political situation was tense, and last year's civil war seemed to be about to repeat itself.

However, to everyone's surprise, on the afternoon of the new head of the family, the main cadres of the Shiraji family declared their allegiance to the new head of the family, Oda Kao. This move shattered all kinds of rumors and calmed down the hearts of those who had been stirring a little.

As long as the Bai family does not have turmoil and is closely integrated with the current regime, Reynes will not have much of a problem, and as for how it will develop in the future, it will be observed and observed.

However, the truth of the whole thing is that it happened inside the Ivory White Tower.

If I suddenly hang up one day, there will be a lot of rumors outside, right? Even if my mother or sister are in power, this will be said to be a conspiracy to kill relatives and seize power, let alone my cheap brother-in-law...... But maybe he sent someone to kill me, he's really suspicious!'

This is what Lancelot said in public when Bai Wuji and Ailing had afternoon tea at the Taiyan Academy. He was thoughtful, and completely followed his brother's surname of being well prepared for everything, and had already left measures to deal with the various changes that might occur in the future.

'I'm not so powerful that I'm invincible...... No, even if you are invincible in the world, it is impossible not to get sick and not die. The person sitting in my position, if he does not leave a will in advance, if something happens, it will be difficult for the people below. ’

From the short-term treatment of not being able to show up when he was in a crisis, to the long-term consideration after his sudden death, Bai Wuji thought about it all one by one. As for the rumors that would inevitably arise when he was assassinated, his instructions were 'not to deal with them'.

Rumors can't be stopped, but as long as the facts are stronger than everything else, the rumors will dissipate after a long time. ’

But the most troublesome thing is the successor of the head of the Bai family.

The elder brother Bai Qi fell, and the younger sister Liya could not appear publicly, not to mention, in the official records, one of them did not exist, and the other was dead, and it was impossible for them to be listed as the heirs of the head of the Bai family.

Although it is not impossible to have collateral blood relatives who are not in the lineage, they are not suitable candidates in terms of ability, and the future of the family cannot be entrusted to the incompetent.

It is also okay to hand it over to someone other than the Bai family, but in the power system of the Bai family, there are too many dark sides that cannot see the light, and the successor must be a person who understands the value of darkness and can continue it, otherwise, the Bai family will be abused or obliterated.

Bai Wuji once wanted to list Lancelot as his heir, but for some reason, he gave up on this plan. After watching the report of the Battle of Yuben, Bai Wuji wrote this testament in his reserved will.

No matter who it was, when they saw this order, they could hardly hide their shock, and they couldn't understand what Bai Wuji was making such a decision for.

'Even if it's a prank, that's too nonsense, isn't it?, Xiaocao, you can take over. ’

Frowning, Lancelot said to his wife the commission that only he was qualified to make.

Rao is Xiaocao's intelligence, and she is also made by her brother's strange death, if she knew about this matter in advance, she would definitely fight on the basis of reason, and ask her brother to change his mind, but at this moment when her brother can no longer argue with herself, she feels that the second brother must have a good reason to make such a decision, and she should support it.

'No, the second brother is a very rational person, he will decide like this, there must be a reason, please ...... Let him do this one last time!'

was said by Xiaocao like this, even Feng'er, who was originally strongly opposed, had to give up and insist.

Bai Wuji is still alive, only Hua Bian Que, Ailing, Lancelot, Xiaocao, Gengoro, and Feng'er know, if you add Mei Lin who is far away, the seven people have to keep this secret.

The return of Xiaocao, Queen Reins's natural holy power, only played a very small role. The so-called holy power is an ability that is 100 times better than the most powerful recovery spell, which can instantly heal ** back to its best state and heal all injuries.

However, just like the ability to restore the spell, all the Holy Power can do is heal the broken**, and at most it can remove toxins, but it can't do it for injuries beyond that.

In the battle of Kueran Mountain, Lancelot was injured by a shot from Izumi Sakura, and although the recovery spell could help him heal the bloody wound on his chest, as long as the dragon lance that entered his body was not expelled, his meridians were still affected and he could not run freely. During the Kyushu War, although Queen Reyns was on the same side as the human alliance, she was still helpless in the face of many masters who were traumatized by the Heavenly Demon Skill, and this is the reason.

The same is true of Bai Wuji's situation, although Xiaocao can heal his brother's damage**, but Hua Bianque has actually done almost the same, even if she helps again, the effect is still limited. In his brother's body, it seemed that he was still under the influence of the enemy's qi, which continued to destroy slowly, making him unable to wake up.

In order to completely expel the enemy's residual energy, in addition to having strong strength, it is also necessary to understand the opponent's martial arts and prescribe the right medicine. However, Gengoro and Hua Bian Que visited the patient, but they could not tell the history of the martial arts used by the enemy, and could not carry out further medical treatment.

In a short period of time, Bai Wuji seems to have no possibility of awakening, and the work he left behind will be shared by everyone.

'The prime minister's government affairs are okay, I will take care of it personally, and Uncle Nine can help. Xiaocao said: "Sister Quan Ying is a very smart person, when she comes, slowly share some government affairs for her internship, when everything is on track, she will take over the position of right minister, this should be a good personnel arrangement." ‘

When he mentions Izumi Sakura's story to Kokusa, Lancelot is very uneasy, like a husband who is confessing to his wife about the crime of having an affair. Originally, if Bai Wuji was still there, this Fengliu's second brother-in-law might be able to help him, but now he had to talk about this matter to his wife at this most inappropriate moment, and Lancelot was really ashamed.

However, Xiaocao said softly to her uneasy husband like no one, "I know, so be it, please don't worry." Lancelot's almost unjustified leniency made him fall into a fog and wonder why his wife would react in this way, especially when he thought of the grievance of his wife's present heavy heart, and yet still gently smiled at him, Lancelot felt that he was really guilty of rotting.

Xiaocao, who understands the whole cause and effect, of course, is doing different things. There is no shortage of masters on our side now, only the top masters, masters with both civil and military skills. Most of the masters have no value as soon as they leave the battlefield, but Sister Izumi Sakura is not only good at martial arts, but also good at literature, and she is suitable for standing in the position of controlling everyone, if she comes to assist Reins, she will be a candidate who is enough to replace the second brother.

The problem of the right phase is easy to solve, but the inheritance of the head of the Bai family is an annoying problem. In order to calm people's hearts, of course, the sooner the new head of the family takes over, the better. Since it has been specified in the will, there is no need to worry about choosing a person, so the succession ceremony should be held as soon as possible to stabilize Reynes's turbulent people's hearts, but Oda Xiang is still overseas, do you want to recruit her back urgently?

I have a better way than that. ’

Xiaocao believes that most of the masters of the Bai family in the past dynasties are completely different characters with different external images and internal practices, so the master of the Bai family known to the outside world and the master of the Bai family who controls internally do not have to be the same.

"If the daughter is gone, her work will be replaced by her mother first, and anyway, the people of Reins don't know what Princess Oda looks like......

Unless Lancelot deliberately made this marriage come true, otherwise, it can be said that it doesn't matter at all whether Oda Xiang appeared publicly in Reyns, so wouldn't it be nice to let someone who has been living in the shadows appear in the sun?

Moreover, it is a little embarrassing to say, Oda Xiang's appearance is just an extremely childish little girl, more innocent than Ailing, if this queen is allowed to stand with the tall and burly Lancelot, the scene is not very good.

After Princess Oda Ka married Reins, in order to show respect for her husband's family, she changed her surname to Aoksuki. The news was announced to the people, and then a ceremony was held to welcome them into the city. ’

Xiaocao's sudden and wonderful record surprised and delighted Lancelot, and the case was amazing. The marriage with Oda Xiang was a decision he made in order to get Li Yu's gold card as a financial resource and at the same time appease the emotions of the remnants of the people.

Feng'er herself was surprised, but also looked a little embarrassed. She is persistent and stubborn, although she can understand Xiaocao's kindness, but she doesn't really want to change the lifestyle she has long been accustomed to, so it is very difficult for Xiaocao's arrangement.

However, if you push your daughter to the front line and let her face the people of Reyns directly, you must be more embarrassed, sister? There are many forms of protection, and if you want her to live in the shadows in peace, then sister, you should stand in the opposite place from her. ’

Xiaocao knows Kaede's way of thinking, and she always stands in the opposite position to the person she wants to protect. In the past, Lancelot and herself were both on the light side, so she had to hide in the darkness and do things that the light side could not do to protect Lancelot and herself.

But Oda Xiang is a special case, roughly speaking, she is even a character who is more suitable for living in the dark than Kaede, if Kaede wants to protect her daughter, then she has to stand on the opposite side and help her do something that cannot be done in the dark.

Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, even Feng'er couldn't find a reason to refute it. Although I strongly feel that something is not right, I am dizzy from what Xiaocao said, and I can't help but do it.

'Sister, believe me for once, or...... Trust your heart, listen to what you really want to do, and don't be bound by principles and stubbornness...... There is only one life. ’

Saying this with some sadness, Xiao Caoqiang laughed and said, "The Dragon God gave you the Tiancong Cloud Sword, sister, you have enough power to compete with the powerhouses of the world, which is different from before." Since you have enough strength to protect yourself, why don't you try to see the change and pursue a new life?'

As he spoke, Xiaocao gently bumped Feng'er's slender waist with her elbow, and scolded with a smile: "Don't think about it, if you tell you to do it, you can do it, think about so many things, don't I have to give face to the queen if I become a ghost?"

Considering Xiaocao's current mood, no one dared to contradict her half a sentence, and in such an atmosphere, Xiaocao's proposal was passed, and Feng'er, as Princess Oda Xiang, held the inheritance ceremony of the head of the Bai family, announcing that the Bai family had a new owner.

This is an external declaration, as for the internal aspect, because it is inconvenient for Xiaocao to come forward, it was Mei Lin who issued an order to temporarily stabilize the Bai family's huge strength overseas.

'It would be nice if the eldest brother was here at this time......

Bai Wuji fell suddenly, Xiaocao, who felt isolated, unexpectedly remembered his eldest brother Bai Qi. If he is also here at this time, he can firmly control the Bai family and be his own backing, and he will not have to worry so much.

There is another thing that is also very troublesome, the five kings have already left the island of Xixikoga. At present, the strength of the five-color flag on the island is enough to deal with the demons who have passed through the realm tunnel, but the five kings are not there, and the great commander Wei Suyong is not there, there is no one to command, and the demons' recent attacks are very organized, which is extremely unusual, if there is no heavenly master to suppress the formation, it is not a good thing. ’

There was such a report from Alcatraz Island, and not only Xiaocao, but even Lancelot was distressed. According to the report, the senior brother decided to leave Alcatraz after learning that he had let Lu Shen die, and Lancelot really didn't want to think about what it symbolized.

The last time he saw his senior brother was in Eltino, when he instructed him in martial arts, but when he parted, he left an ominous sentence that felt very unsettling, and now he left Alcatraz without saying goodbye, without giving himself any chance to explain.

Do you need an explanation? Senior Brother is a wise man, and he should be able to understand his situation at that time. However, does understanding also mean understanding? In this world, my brother is a person I respect very much, and I really don't want any unhappiness with him.

All kinds of troubles, Reynes is really troubled now, and Lancelot has to respond immediately to the fall of the North Gate Tianguan, at this time, he really hopes that there will be a few more helpers around him to deal with the endless flow of various incidents.

'It's a big mistake to let Li Lao Er run away like this, but as long as Izumi Sakura comes here in two days, the situation will be a little better...... It's nerve-wracking, why have you been looking for someone, and where has Fenghua gone?'

There are a lot of troubles, but Lancelot doesn't know that Izumi Sakura, who had hoped to come over to help immediately, has now returned to the Wind Continent and is on her way to Shenglong Mountain.

The night after Izumi Sakura left, a Blue Lotus wanderer, also from the Wind Continent, was about to start his journey again.

The martial arts cultivation has not yet been completed, and Li Yu has no intention of staying here for a long time, since the things that should be explained have been dealt with, then it is time for him to set off again.

'It's good to come back this time, the situation in the Wind Continent seems to be getting faster, I hope that the next time I come back, the Shaolin Abbot Road after the 80s of the Eltie, Li Yu has a clear understanding of the changes in the situation of the Wind Continent before he arrives in the book.

However, in just a few years, the seven major sects have such major changes and declines, among them, the Shizi family once sent many killers when Li Yujian tried the world, and repeatedly gathered masters to surround and kill, and the conflict with it was the most fierce, he naturally could not have a good impression of the Shizi family, I wish to see them come to a defeat sooner, if it wasn't for the busy affairs this time, there was no time to take care of other things, with Li Yu's surname, how could he not go to the Shi family?

However, if Lancelot really made Eltino his goal of conquest, then he would inevitably have to face someone head-on...... There may be a gap in strength, but that man's iron will may turn everything around.

It's curious to think about, the man...... At this moment, he should still be in the northwest border of the Wind Continent, when Lancelot meets him in close combat, what kind of sparks will burst out?

Although the sparks are bright, they are also easy to burn out early, I wonder if when I set foot on the land of the Wind Continent again, will I still be able to see that cold iron face?

'Huh......'

'What are you laughing at?'

'Nothing, just a boring question. ’

Just like sending Izumi Sakura away the night before, at this moment, the two of them are standing on the beach, looking at the snow-white waves that are constantly lapping on the shore, raising a pot to drink, and meeting again.

"You short-lived dead fellow, don't really die outside as soon as you go out, I don't want to say goodbye to you now, I don't want to say goodbye to you forever!"

In the past few days, he and Li Yu have had many opportunities to talk, and they have a good relationship with each other, and Han Te knows far more than others.

Although Li Yu's attitude was very flat, he could feel that the duel he was about to face was indeed extraordinary.

I have confidence in him, as long as I go all out, this guy should be able to exert his strength beyond the current one, because on the Wind Continent, this guy has surpassed himself countless times, making him a sword immortal and a brilliant Qinglian legend.

However, his attitude is so careless, and it always makes people worry, although this is a way for him to relax himself, but every time I see him so reckless and stubborn who doesn't care about his physical condition, I worry that he will lose his life one day?

'It's worse than short-lived, you obnoxious vampire is easier to see Hades than me, go worry about yourself!'

Friends don't need a reason to quarrel, and drunks don't need to drink, so they talk nonsense, and the two of them shake the wine jug and have a drink, anyway, the other party looks sideways and vertically, it doesn't look like a useless character who will die at the bottom of the sea because of the capsizing, and there is no need to worry about the problem of 'drinking and not on the road'.

Wandering the rivers and lakes, borrowing wine to pour out sorrows many times, both sides of the amount of wine is very good, however, the amount of wine jug is limited, when they perceive that the wine is gradually empty, the time of parting is approaching, looking up at the bright moon when the sky, both of them have a little melancholy.

Picking up the wine jug, with a somewhat teasing smile, Li Yu said: "Han Te, I remember that you seem to have said before that if one day, you can worship under the door of the White Deer Cave, even if you are willing to be a cockroach in the next life?"

Han Te's words were stopped, the original meaning of that sentence was, 'If Lu You accepts me as an apprentice one day, he will be willing to be a cockroach in the next life', it was when he was still a mercenary on Alcatraz Island, and when his martial arts were not successful, what he said half-jokingly was widely publicized by his friend Bai Fei afterwards, and of course the Qinglou Alliance recorded it easily, Li Yu would know, it was not strange at all.

However, what was the mood of Li Yu who asked this question? Considering his relationship with Lu You, this question was really difficult to answer, but after some consideration, Han Te still decided to answer frankly.

'Is there such a sentence, how? Do you have any opinions?'

Frank answer, but did not get a response from Li Yu, looking at Li Yu smiling and silent, as if thinking about something, Han Te couldn't guess his thoughts for a while.

'It would be interesting if I had someone like you among my brothers......

This was what Li Yu originally wanted to say, but because of his arrogance, he didn't say it after all. Because, even if it is meaningless persistence, I always feel that as soon as this sentence comes out, I become weak......

By the way, there's one thing I want to ask you for. You're doing a good job as a porter now, old friends, just serve me for free!'

Li Yu took out a white plum with branches from the skin pouch on his waist, the snow was clean and fragrant, and there were still a few ice beads hanging on the petals, adding an indescribable beauty.

'Please help me get this thing to the mountain behind the White Deer Cave, where ......'

Han Te agreed as a matter of course, and Li Yu, who had entrusted the matter to him, said goodbye to his friends.

'Take care, my friend......'

With this sentence as a farewell word, Li Yu took a little step under his feet, his body broke through the waves, and he shot far away in a few moments. Unlike Izumi Sakura, he didn't have to fly back with the power of the heavenly position all the way, but there was a small boat waiting there not far from the shore.

'Senior brother, reading in this light is not good for your eyes. ’

The man in blue on the boat put away the book he was reading and shook the oars on the boat. When two supreme masters propelled the ship with the power of the Heavenly Position, the speed was faster than any giant ship of the Ancient Demon Path, and it was a shortcut to cross the sea to reach the continent on the other side.

'Is everything accounted for?'

"Well, the romantic and the unromantic have all been explained, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't confess or not, it's not that you will never see each other again, what is the need, come back after the duel!"

The sea breeze was very strong, and Li Yu only vaguely heard the senior brother say a few words, which seemed to be some kind of poem such as 'life is like a dream', and when he wanted to confirm it again, he heard the senior brother's voice drifting over with the sea breeze.

'I'm sorry, junior brother...... It's a long time from now, but ...... You don't have a chance to meet again. ’

Reaching out to the starry sky, he seemed to want to grasp something, but only he knew that he was grasping a line that did not exist.

The thread of the law of cause and effect has turned, leading to the fate that is about to take shape, unfortunately...... The person who will reel in the line on this continent is not himself.

'Really......? It's a pity. ’

The person who watched the two of them leave on the island was not only Hante, but also Oda Ka, who was sitting alone farther away.

Her eyesight is different from that of ordinary creatures, she can see even farther than Hante, coupled with her keen sense of heavenly consciousness, Oda Xiang can grasp the dynamics of every grass and tree on the entire island clearly, without losing a single cent.

However, such a keen insight could not help at this time. In the past few days, I have seen so many people leave and look for their direction, but I still don't know where to go.

No...... It can't be said that I don't know that my future should be with Feng'er's mother, but just like this, as a new member of the Reyns court, is it attached to her to survive? That strange feeling still haunts me to this day.

Even Izumi Sakura, who is his subordinate, can so decisively put aside emotional shackles and find a way out of life, is she inferior to her?

But...... Having said that, Oda still has no clue about the direction of her future life. After all, there are not many examples that she can draw from, and she has already sunk by Lu Shen, if she is not with Feng'er's mother, then ...... Do you want to learn from Cousin Chires, take pleasure in tearing apart creatures and abusing enemies, and completely become a demon who ravages the human world?

It doesn't seem like a good blueprint for life either......

I couldn't think of a reason, and it seemed that this night was going to be wasted again, however, just as Oda Xiang was still pondering, a deep voice suddenly came.

'Inhuman, what are you bothering about?'

It was a strange feeling, a deep voice, accompanied by a strong sea breeze, which felt extremely cold, but in the ears, it had a strange resonance.

That's purely intuition, but the person who speaks, the life form seems to be different from that of humans, but is somewhat similar to himself, is it a demon? No...... This cannot be confirmed.

And when the heavenly consciousness began to scan the surroundings, an even stranger feeling appeared, because he couldn't grasp the other party's location.

This is completely impossible. This island, under his own surveillance, can feel the crawling of an insect and the shaking of a grass, but within his own sensing range, he can't find the location of the voicer.

'What are you confused about?, as an inhuman, what are you looking for?' Extravagance of what is not your own is the beginning of ruin, doesn't the knowledge in your head tell you that?'

The sound of the voice does not feel like a thousand miles of transmission using true qi, in other words, the other party must be on this island, and may even be nearby, but he can't find him. According to this inference, it is that the other party uses a Tianxin consciousness that is more superior than himself, in addition to covering his own perception, it also affects his five senses, so he can't find him.

The question is, how is this possible? The life style of oneself is different from that of ordinary human beings, there is no interference of human consciousness, and all perceptions are carried out purely with Tianxin consciousness, and none of today's strong heavenly masters can beat themselves in the competition of Tianxin consciousness, and I believe that even Lu You, who is known as the first person in the world, can't do it, so why is there such an unreasonable strange phenomenon......

'Knowledge...... Not all questions are answered. ’

Still unable to find where the other party was, Oda Ka unconsciously replied, she had reason to believe that the other party was not talking like this to entertain herself.

'If you can't even answer with knowledge, then how do you find the answer to your question?'

Knowledge and experience are the foundation of all of Odaka's actions, and if neither of these is useful, she really doesn't know where to go. Human beings seem to use these two things to judge things, but it seems that there is more than that, so what is lacking in themselves?

'What about you?' Can you tell me what the answer is?'

If the answer is a simple question and answer, then it cannot be separated from the accumulation of knowledge and experience. In addition to learning, human beings will also use actual feelings to ask themselves questions and find the end of the problem. ’

The spiritual energy search of Tianxin consciousness still couldn't find the location, but following the voice, Oda Xiang found the location of the person who spoke, it was a very remote corner, and it looked very dark in the night, and the voice came from that side, and a figure was faintly seen, hiding in the shadows.

Oda walked over slowly. There was no murderous aura on that person's body, nor did he feel any dangerous aura, and he couldn't even feel the depth of the other party's martial arts, everything was so ordinary, but from the beads of sweat in his palms and the tightness of the muscles on his body, Oda Xiang knew that the feeling he was experiencing now was called nervousness.

Why are you nervous? This is not the same as the tension when facing the top master, but it is somewhat similar to the feeling when I met the fourth uncle when I was sick. The person in the shadows seems to be able to have some influence on himself and change his life like the fourth uncle......

'You...... What do you want to do?'

What would be better to say at this time? Oda Xiang couldn't think of it for a while, and from the countless lines accumulated in her head, she chose this sentence, which was meaningless, but could properly express her feelings.

'Inhuman, follow me, parasitism is not the way you should go, if you are tired of being dependent on others, then follow me, I can teach you something that you can't learn from books.' ’

So saying, the man stood up and walked towards the seashore on his own. Although he left the shadows, there seemed to be a low haze on his body, and Oda Xiang couldn't remember his face very clearly the moment the two sides staggered, but looking at this back...... Compared to Shicai's huge presence, he is not very tall, but very thin.

'Wait!!, what can you teach me?'

'What the mind cannot think of, listen to the voice of the heart...... For non-humans, it is difficult at first to determine what the shape of the heart is, but it is possible to learn all of this, and I am an expert at turning puppets into humans. ’

'So remarkable? You seem to be very smart and see through a lot of things?'

Without thinking, Oda Ka followed. Impulsiveness can be said to be extremely rare for her to judge everything rationally, however, the girl's impulse to keep up at the moment is so strong that she even instantly gave up her plan to go to Reyns and followed behind this thin young man.

With enough wisdom and intelligence, one can be almost omniscient, and I have indeed seen many things that others do not see, although ...... It's just a little cleverness that you can't even predict when your loved one falls......

The boy of the west, the girl of the east, the figures of the two disappeared side by side on the beach, because it was late at night, this did not alarm anyone, the Bai family personnel on the island, when they were about to report the news of the succession of the head of the Bai family, they found that Princess Oda Xiang did not say goodbye, and the news was transmitted back to Jixia.

As for the telegram received from the West West Koga Island, it was a few days before the new head of the family had arrived on the island and started to sit in the headquarters of the Taiyan Institute.

The battle situation at the North Gate Tianguan ignited the flames of war in the east of Eltino, and everyone knew that the domineering King Lancelot would not give up and would immediately send troops to retaliate.

Not only in the territory of El Tino, but also in Wulian and Free City, all forces are paying attention to the imminent outbreak of the First World War and have begun to take various contingency measures.

Led by the port capital of The Hague, the western part of El Tino is directly facing the threat of the Silk Country, although there will be no formal military exchanges between the two continents, but the constant harassment of the sea for many years has also made the El Tino military department very troubled.

To be correct, the only soldier who can break his nerves is the Second Army defending the western frontier of Eltino. At the moment when the major forces divided the military power, the central military headquarters of Eltino had already existed in name only, and for the war of the Second Army, several other group armies were watching with a mood of not caring about themselves, or even gloating.

Jiang Zhong, who held great power in the Second Group Army, once said that if one day he needed to ask for help from other group armies, then instead of asking for help from the nearby Shi family and Medici family, it would be more practical to directly send an urgent envoy to Wulian and ask the Fifth Army under Wang Wu to lend a helping hand based on a humanitarian standpoint.

Not to mention Shi Chong, who is likely to secretly add poison to the aid materials, even Hulegu, who has the same friendship as Zhou Gongjin, is a figure that cannot be taken lightly, although no one doubts that he will respond immediately after receiving a call for help, but no one believes that there will be no aftermath or scheme hidden in the aid from the Medici family.

Because of this reason, no matter what difficulties the Second Army encountered in the past, it never asked for help from other forces, and all it could rely on was the close relationship between Marshal Zhou Gongjin and Bailudong.

But that has changed in recent months.

The army guarding Al Tino and the White Deer Cave with Al Tieno as the only object of support, the two should have been combined, but in the last battle of the Hua family's attack on the North Gate Tianguan, Lu You, who had been in retreat for thousands of years, suddenly appeared, but he stood on the side of Reyns and defeated the combined forces of the Shi family and the Hua family.

White Deer Cave tried to make this matter simple, after all, when Amakusa Shiro took part in the battle, the whole war was already over, and it was impossible to say which side he was helping, and Lu You, who fought fiercely with him, was only ending a thousand years of grudges, not helping Reyns. But even so, Lu You's move to repel Shi Chong is ironclad evidence that can't be clearer.

There are different opinions from the outside world, and Lu You's silence has correspondingly fueled all kinds of rumors, and Bailu Cave can't come up with a more powerful statement. When the Ertano people began to question the position of the White Deer Cave, the Second Army, which had always been close to the White Deer Cave, was also affected by this impact.

The Iron Mask Marshal has always remained indifferent and has not expressed any thoughts on this matter, and the soldiers have not been able to find out the slightest information from his mouth, only Jiang Zhong, his first confidant, said very firmly: "The Second Army is a force that exists to protect Al Tino, it was like this before, and it will not change in the future. ‘

This declaration seems to mean that Zhou Gongjin himself is still loyal to the imperial family, but what about the relationship between him and Lu You? No one can say this, even Jiang Zhong is a little timid to perceive that since the incident, there has been no contact between the marshal and the White Deer Cave, is this a sign of high trust? Or is it a preview of a rupture? He really didn't dare to think about it.

In addition to this, another problem also deeply troubled the loyal lieutenant. Said before the death of the North Gate Tianguan Hua mutilated, is one of the four iron guards under the command of Gong Jin, before he transferred to the commander of the imperial guards, once assisted in the commander of the Second Army, very much supported by the generals, this time to learn that he suffered misfortune, the army was furious, have asked the commander, hold a revenge war.

If the object of the revenge war is Renes, it will be a very distressing thing, because it is impossible for the Second Army to abandon the border defense and cross the country to fight in the east, not to mention, the object of revenge demanded by the generals is the family of flowers.

Many survivors have proved that it was Hua Tianxie who attacked, which caused Hua to be martyred on the spot. Hearing the news, the generals were indignant and asked the commander to make due decisions.

'They all belong to the soldiers of Altino, and there is no reason to be in the same room. ’

Although he didn't actually say it, Jiang Zhong imagined that the coach would definitely give such an answer, but fortunately, due to the collapse of the Huazi family and the disappearance of Hua Tianxie, this matter was temporarily resolved and did not further expand into a disaster.

The battle at Tianguan in the north gate broke out again, and The Hague also paid close attention to it, through the Qinglou and Bailu Cave, quickly collected relevant information, and now, a major news reached The Hague, Jiang Zhong, who received the intelligence letter, looked extremely solemn and hurried to meet the commander.

Recently, the attack of the Haikou has been slightly restrained, and the busy situation of military affairs is relatively relaxed, and Zhou Gongjin is looking for a place to practice martial arts alone.

In such an era, strength is the capital of the competition, no matter how busy he is, Zhou Gongjin will find time to practice every day, but when he is not so busy, he will be alone in a secluded place and do martial arts training for a long time.

The place of cultivation is a dirt mountain not far from The Hague, which has been designated as a forbidden place since two days ago, and it is forbidden to approach it in idleness.

Halfway up the mountain, there was already a strong sound of wind and thunder above, and the earth and rocks all over the mountain were being attacked by some kind of force, quickly crumbling and shattering.

The sound became louder and louder, and it sounded at the same time from far and near, and in addition to the above, there were several huge rocks in the distance, all of which collapsed and scattered in the roar.

The result of this effect is Gong Jin's same proud weapon, an ancient treasure from the White Deer Cave, the Thousand Miles Divine Whip.

Once he wielded it, although he couldn't really hit thousands of miles, he was within the range of the attack, and he took advantage of the enemy.

In the past, Jiang Zhong had revered the divine power of the boss, but now witnessing the same lethality, he couldn't help but sigh, if such a skill is against a heavenly master, what will be the result? God is really unfair, why does it seem that everyone can train to the heavenly power, but the boss has never been able to enter the heavenly position?

It is not only the martial arts that determine the outcome of the struggle, but also the wisdom and adaptability of people...... Perseverance is the key to the final victory. ’

The flat voice interrupted Jiang Zhong's thoughts, and then he was shocked to find that the scenery around him had completely changed, there was originally a windbreak forest of short pines and shrubs, and there was also a path ahead, but now there was nothing left except a piece of yellow sand and dust.

'Lord Gongjin! you're amazing. ’

Seeing the coach once again show his strength, Jiang Zhong was very excited. It is not difficult to destroy the environment in a short period of time, and any master at the peak of the realm has such a skill, but between talking and laughing, unconsciously, the magic has been accomplished, so it requires a highly accurate control ability.

Just thinking about how the coach destroyed everything around him without waking people up, Jiang Zhong admired the incoherentness. Regardless of pure strength, Gong Jin has followed Lu You for a long time, and his profound cultivation and experience in martial arts have reached perfection, and among the new generation of masters, no one can match him in this regard.

The blue-white cloak was not stained with a trace of dust, Gong Jin's wrist flicked, the long whip was bundled into a circle, and it was put back on the tie around his waist, and under the cold iron mask, his eyes flashed wisely, and his eyes met with his subordinates who were full of reverence.

"Lord Gongjin, with such power, you don't need to pay attention to any heavenly master, those arrogant Reinsians......

'It's a long way off. The gap in absolute strength is not something that these skills can make up, and after the explosion of the Yuan Qi Cave, the masters of Reyns's side have benefited a lot, perhaps...... It is not known that several strong heavenly masters have been born. ’

Compared with the calmness of the coach, Jiang Zhong's reaction was like he had just been overwhelmed by a thunderbolt. Just a strong heaven master is already terrifying, even if it is the first person in the world, Lu You, it is only a strong heaven level cultivation, if there is a group of strong heaven masters...... With such a gap in strength, how can you catch up?

Gong Jin is not a person who likes to laugh very much, but he is not poor and nervous, no matter what the situation, he can maintain a moderate level of relaxation and adapt to the situation, so he is not pessimistic about the current situation.

The explosion of the Vitality Cave once again rewrites the list of masters on the Wind Continent, if it is said that the Alambat Demon Earthquake caused the reappearance of the small heavenly position, then with the explosion of the local cave this time, the appearance of the strong heavenly master, and the proliferation of the small heavenly position, these are not difficult to foresee.

The problem is that because of the change in the structure and density of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the Heavenly Masters who appear do not have power by virtue of their own cultivation, and when they use their power, whether they can withstand such earth-shaking changes in the energy in their bodies is a big problem. The masters of Reyns's side should pray to the gods carefully, and don't be seriously injured by the surging internal breath before the strength is transported.

'Is there any news from the Qinglou Alliance?'

This is a matter of great regret for Gong Jin, and the same regret appears in the hearts of all the power masters of the Wind Continent. Although each faction has its own intelligence department, the vast majority of them still need to rely on the Qinglou Alliance to obtain important information.

This is true of the Bai family, the Shi family, the Wang family, the Medici family, and even the White Deer Cave. Although the Second Army has an intelligence group, it has been interfered with and bought by the Medici family and the Shi family from time to time, and the information sent back is somewhat distorted, and for a major event such as the Raiders of the Continent of Wind, if it weren't for the news from the Qinglou Alliance, the fastest way for Gong Jin to get information would be to read the newspapers from the Free City.

As the commander of the First Army, Gong Jin was naturally unhappy with this situation, however, he had no choice but to accept this helpless situation by constructing an intelligence organization that was capable of confronting the Qinglou Alliance.

'Yes, the envoy of the Qinglou Alliance sent a detailed report on the battle of the North Gate Tianguan, which is really surprising, there are actually dragon clans on Shenglong Mountain involved, with them as the main force, destroying the North Gate Tianguan and the five-color flag. ’

'The North Gate Tianguan is indeed ruined, but ......'

Looking through the archives, Gong Jin began to think at the same time, analyzing what this war showed and what did not appear.

The checkpoint is destroyed, but the checkpoint can't run without feet, but people can move, under the ruins of the North Gate Tianguan, is there really a corpse of a five-color flag soldier? Considering the Bai family's consistent style of doing things, the question can be changed slightly, are those corpses under the ruins of the North Gate Tianguan really a five-color flag?

The Shi family's army entered the territory of the Hua family, menacing, and the discerning person knew that he had bad intentions at a glance, Bai Wuji was a leader with military and political wisdom, and his vision was far away, the mutant monkey was incomparable, and he had no reason not to see the Shi family's intention to attack Reins, not to mention that the Shi family had stayed for a while before attacking the North Gate Tianguan.

It is impossible for ordinary troops to defeat the five-color flag, and if they are themselves, they will also use war force beyond the current level to attack the North Gate Tianguan at close range, and destroy the North Gate Tianguan by thunder means before the enemy master participates in the war, so as to complete the war goal. Shi Chong used such a tactic, and if Bai Wuji had expected it, he would definitely withdraw the five-color flag and retain his vitality.

Although he is said to be a leader, in essence, Bai Wuji is still an underworld drug lord, not a politician, and will not spare the lives of civilians. Looking at the map of the North Gate Tianguan, Gong Jin began to speculate on the possible hiding place of the five-color flag, maybe in the eyes of others, this army that should have been completely wiped out is invisible, but he can still see it.

Jiang Zhong said: "Shi Chong's old puppet really has a set, he can actually pull the dragon clan to his side, I don't know what kind of means he used?"

Gong Jin was silent, and he was also pondering this matter. In the action of wooing the dragon clan, Shi Chong won a victory, one step ahead of the White Deer Cave.

The dragon clan has lived in seclusion on Shenglong Mountain for thousands of years, although they don't care about mundane things, but the powerful power has been coveted by the powers in the world, and the White Deer Cave is no exception.

Originally, the dragon clan intended to ally with the White Deer Cave and seek common development, but after the battle of Tianguan in the North Gate, the master-apprentice relationship between Lu You and Gong Jin seemed to have changed somewhat.

'The report of the Qinglou Alliance said that it was not clear the origin of those golden dragons and that it would be investigated again, but there was another thing......

Jiang Zhong hesitated: "Miss Ziyu has returned from her birth, and she has now returned to the Wind Continent, and it is estimated that she is on her way back to Huilong Mountain. ‘

Considering the change in the relationship with the dragon clan, the return of the dragon clan patriarch who had lost power seemed to be beneficial to his side, but thinking of her bad relationship with the boss, Jiang Zhongzhong didn't know whether to report the matter as happy or bad news.

It won't be Shang Long. My junior sister is not a stupid person, with the current situation, she rushed to Shenglong Mountain, unless she let go of a big kill to seize power, she can't cause any impact, so the first place she wants to go to should be Bailu Cave, and she will pass through here on the way, and come again, maybe come here......

There was no emotional fluctuation in his voice, and Gong Jin pointed to the North Gate Tianguan on the map, knocked lightly twice, and then moved to The Hague.

First the North Gate Tianguan, then the White Deer Cave, and finally the head straight to The Hague? Jiang Zhong couldn't think of what this route meant, and he couldn't guess the coach's thoughts at the moment, so he just stood aside silently with his hands down, until Gong Jin looked at him again and asked him to continue talking.

And ...... This news doesn't seem to make much sense, and I don't know why Qinglou sent this news, maybe it's a subsidiary of the war report!'

Jiang Zhong said: "At the founding ceremony next month, the Grandmaster of Bailu Cave will be invited to preside over it...... Huh, this time you're inviting the Sword Saint to preside over in person?'

The White Deer Cave has a high status in Al Tieno, and every major festival is invited by the emperor to the head of the White Deer Cave to preside over it in person to show respect. In terms of identity, the highest status of Bailu Cave is naturally Lu You, but he has been in retreat for a long time and does not ask about world affairs, which even Huang Yanjing does not dare to alarm, and every time Lu You is the founding celebration of the country, he just orders someone to bring congratulations, and he does not go out to participate.

This has been a practice for hundreds of years, but this time it has changed, and Cao Shou asked Lu You himself to go out of the customs to congratulate the national fortune for Altino. The attitude seems respectful, but it is unusual.

'Is it finally starting......

After Lu You repelled Amakusa Shiro at the North Gate Tianguan, Gong Jin expected that this moment would come, and Altino finally took action.

On the surface, the significance of this political move is very simple, Lu You personally appeared to congratulate him, and also declared that Bailu Cave continued to support Altino's position. In Ertino's opinion, this request is not too much, the problem is that Cao Shou should not have such courage, and it was Shi Chong's instigation that made such a move that was similar to asking the Sword Saint, giving him such courage, right?

Shi Chong, who has always avoided a head-on conflict with the White Deer Cave, why can't he bear it so much and take the initiative to pick the White Deer Cave? It is because of Dorgon's alliance and the backing of strong force, so he has such courage, right?

So, when force is combined with ambition, will their intentions stop there? or ......

'Jiang Zhong, do you know why there have been fewer pirates disturbing the border recently?'

'Yes, I heard the marshal mention it a few days ago, because a great war broke out in the Silk Country, and the Red King's army fought fiercely with Sima Zhongda, so Sima Zhongda had no time to send troops to disguise the Haikou invaders. ’

'I heard that the Red King is from the Continent of Flame, and behind this war, it can also be seen as an invasion war between the Continent of Flame and the Continent of Ice, do you know what these represent?'

Jiang Zhong seemed to say something, but Gong Jin, who was deep in thought, didn't care.

Times are changing so fast that the four continents, which were originally unrelated to each other, now have the ambitions of the strong who have begun to override the distance barrier and put it into action.

According to the intelligence, the Red King, who has received the secret help of the Scarlet Sakura Empire of the Flame Continent, has gradually overwhelmed Sima Zhongda, and when the war on the Ice Continent is over, will this unprecedented conqueror restrain his domineering spirit? Or will he cast his gaze on the other side of the sea again, pointing directly at Altino?

Reynes must guard Alcatraz in the open sea, and so must himself. In the entire Wind Continent, I am afraid that there is no one like himself who feels the oppression of overseas powers deeply.

There are thieves inside, the situation is in turmoil, the war clouds are rising again in the east, a large number of Reins' masters are about to take a counteroffensive, and the overseas situation is also changing rapidly, it seems to be more and more difficult to protect Eltino, looking around, who is left with the comrades who can fight side by side with him?

But no matter what, this road will go on its own......
