Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Guan Tong doesn't look very old, just about thirty years old, slender, handsome, wearing ordinary, only linen cloth pants, a square scarf on his head, and a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes underneath.

Just looking at the clothes, he is very poor, although he is clean, but he has been washed and white, but looking at him, he does not make people feel the slightest shabby, but makes people feel like they are not eating the fireworks of the world.

A few years ago, in Shangguan Xiu's mind, Guan Tong's cultivation was so high and unfathomable, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a half-immortal body.

It can be seen that Guan Tong's cultivation is very high, and he is still above him, so it can also be seen that the Great Elder of the Divine Pool is not simply based on the cultivation realm as the selection criterion, or in other words, the Great Elder does not represent the highest level of the Divine Pool's spiritual martial arts.

After Guan Tong entered the hall, he did not squint, under the gaze of the ministers on the left and right, he walked lightly to the center of the hall, and then, without hurrying, calmly bowed to Tang Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said loudly: "Under Guan Tong, please meet Your Majesty,"

Tang Ling has seen the elder of Shenchi, when she ascended the throne, Shenchi sent the Great Elder to congratulate him, this Guan Tong Elder is not well-known, but his natural temperament and demeanor are not inferior to the Great Elder at all,

Even if she had never been in contact with Guan Tong, she had never heard of such a person as him, but Tang Ling could still tell that this was a master from outside the world, she smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Elder Guan doesn't have to be polite, flat down,"

"Your Majesty," after Guan Tong straightened up, he turned his gaze to Shangguan Xiu, nodded to him again, and saluted with a smile,

Shangguan Xiu returned the salute and praised sincerely: "I haven't seen you for many years, Elder Guan's demeanor is still the same," what he said was not a compliment, so many years have passed, time has not left any traces on Guan Tong's body, it seems, there is no change from a few years ago, and even the clothes on his body are exactly the same as when Shangguan Xiu first saw him, which made Shangguan Xiu's heart unconsciously give birth to an illusion, as if time had gone back and returned to the past,

Guan Tong was amused by his words, waved his hand and said: "The old man is old, he may die soon, but His Royal Highness, the blessing is profound, Yinghua is introverted, and the future is limitless,"

The death he spoke of was death, and it was also a new life after the shattered void, and for a spiritual cultivator of his level, the natural death of the physical body was the sublimation of the spirit body.

Shangguan Xiu had a lot of things to say to Guan Tong, but the court was not a place for the two of them to catch up, so he changed his words and asked, "Elder Guan came to Xijing this time to visit His Majesty, but there is something to discuss," >

Guan Tong's gaze fell on Tang Ling's body again, and said, "Your Majesty, I have taken the liberty to come to visit, and I have something to ask for,"

Tang Ling said: "If there is anything to do with the elder, even if it is said, as long as I can help, I will not postpone it,"

Guan Tong first thanked him, and then slowly said the purpose of his visit.

The new emperors of the wind country succeeded to the throne, and the Shenchi would send envoys to Beijing, one was to congratulate, and the other was equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy and legitimacy of the new emperor.

This time, Tang Yu was called the emperor in Shangjing, but there was no movement in Shenchi, not to mention that he did not send the Great Elder Daohe, and he did not even send the disciples of the famous Shenchi, Shenchi's practice is tantamount to showing the world that Shenchi does not recognize Tang Yu's legitimacy, and does not recognize him as a reasonable Emperor of the Wind Country,

This performance of Shenchi, for Tang Yu's court, is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, swallowing, swallowing, can't swallow, can't buckle and can't buckle out, like a fish in the throat, Shenchi is the spiritual leader of all the wind people, Shenchi does not recognize Tang Yu's legitimacy and legitimacy, which is equivalent to giving a huge and heavy blow to the Tang Yu court that has just occupied Shangjing and has an unstable foundation, at least in winning people's hearts, it has fallen into the disadvantage,

The Shangjing Imperial Court sent hundreds of carts of generous gifts, transported to the Shenchi, and asked to see the Holy Maiden, hoping that the Holy Maiden could send the elders to Beijing to congratulate, if the Holy Maiden could go to Daohe in person, it would be great.

It's a pity that after the giver entered the sacred pool, not to mention that he didn't see the holy woman, even the temple and even the holy mountain couldn't step into it, and he was directly blocked at the foot of the mountain by the guards guarding the holy mountain.

For three days, the giver didn't even see the shadow of the saint, after informing the Shangjing court, he lived under the holy mountain for a few days, but he still got nothing, and in the end, they had no choice but to leave the divine pool, in vain, the generous gift they brought, naturally failed to send out, the key is that no one came to receive it,

As soon as the gift-giving team left the realm of Shenchi, it was attacked by a large number of Lingwu masters, and more than 1,000 people who transported gifts were killed on the spot, and more than 100 cars of gifts were also looted.

When the matter was reported back to Shangjing, the imperial court was furious and recognized that the incident was committed by the people of Shenchi, and immediately sent an army of 200,000 to besiege Shenchi and force Shenchi to hand over the robbers.

The bitter trick used by the Shangjing Imperial Court is not very clever, in the final analysis, it is in exchange for Shenchi's recognition of the legitimacy and legitimacy of the Tang Yu Imperial Court.

Of course, the Shenchi side refused to comply, and this was a crime that wanted to be added, where did the Shenchi find robbers and hand them over to the Shangjing Imperial Court, the Shenchi did not move, and the army of the Shangjing Imperial Court did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Shenchi, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

However, the Shangjing Imperial Court can afford it, but the Shenchi can't afford it.

Shenchi is just a projectile land, much smaller than Tia, and the territory is full of high mountains and mountains, there is very little arable land, food, clothing and daily necessities all rely on external purchases and supplies from the imperial court, Shenchi is trapped for one or twenty days is no problem, but after a long time, the people in Shenchi can not support it,

The siege of Shenchi, Shangguan Xiu also braved the world's condemnation to do it, at that time, it was because of the remnants of the rebels taken in by Shenchi, giving shelter, one side was to kill them all, and the other side was to stop the killing, which can be said to be the friction caused by the different concepts of the two sides.

And this time is different, this time it is a trumped-up charge imposed on the head of the god pond by the rebel court,

The former is that Shenchi has indeed done it, and the latter is that Shenchi has not done anything, so when Shangguan Xiu led the army to besiege Shenchi, the contradictions between the two sides can be resolved because of the concessions on both sides, but this time the siege of Shenchi by the Shangjing Imperial Court is difficult to reconcile, unless Shenchi goes against his will and recognizes the legitimacy and legitimacy of the Tang Yu court, but as the same, it is equivalent to admitting the unorthodoxy and illegitimacy of the Tang Ling Emperor's throne.

At the beginning, Shenchi recognized Tang Ling, and now because of Tang Yu's rebellion, Tang Ling has been completely denied, such capriciousness will not only further aggravate the civil strife in the Wind Country, but also greatly affect the prestige and prestige of Shenchi, which has touched the bottom line of Shenchi, in this matter, it is impossible for Shenchi to make any concessions,

Shenchi's intransigence, and the military coercion of the Shangjing court, let the two sides stand together, into a stalemate, Shenchi has now been trapped for more than a month, the lives of the people in the territory have fallen into a dilemma, this trapped situation, Shenchi must be solved as soon as possible, but Shenchi himself is not good at using force, forcibly repelling the rebels, after all, this is not consistent with the principle of stopping killing that Shenchi has always believed, in the case of his own inability to shoot, Shenchi can only come to Tang Ling for help, hoping that Tang Ling's court has sent troops to Shenchi to repel the rebels,

After listening to Guan Tong's narration, Shangguan Xiu was a little crying and laughing, in order to protect the rebels, Shenchi did not hesitate to confront the Zhenjun army, and was besieged by the Zhenjun army for two months, as a result, Shenchi's protection of the rebels did not win any return for Shenchi, but now he is still being avenged by the rebels, isn't this self-inflicted,

Shangguan Xiu had the intention of sending troops to counterattack the rebels, and this time Shenchi was besieged by the rebels, which gave him a justifiable reason to send troops, but he did not immediately make a statement, but chose to remain silent and wait and see.

Without waiting for Tang Ling to speak, Minister of Military Affairs Du Xian had already stepped forward first, frowning and saying: "Elder Guan knows that the strength of the rebel army is known to be one million, and the current available soldiers of the imperial court are only 200,000.

"What Lord Du said is extremely true, this time, it is not that the imperial court is unwilling to help, but the imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court, and the national war with Ningnan, the main force of the central army has been dragged on the battlefield of the national war, and now only relying on 200,000 troops, take the initiative to attack the rebels, undoubtedly let the 200,000 soldiers go to death in vain, not only can not relieve the siege of Shenchi, but will also put the imperial court itself into danger, the situation of the imperial court, I also hope that the elders can understand more," Cai Hui said with a frown,

Just now Shangguan Xiu proposed to counterattack the rebels, in order to cooperate with his father, he did not stand up against it, and now Guan Tong proposed to help Shenchi relieve the siege, he doesn't have to take into account anyone's face, and he is stern in his opposition,

The surrounding ministers were all opposed, and Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu, who were in charge, were silent, Guan Tong was not in a hurry, he still looked calm, and asked Shangguan Xiu with a smile: "I don't know what His Highness means,"

Shangguan Xiu looked at him left and right, and said with a smile: "My opinion is that after the dynasty is dispersed, no matter what, I should have a few drinks with Elder Guan to thank Elder Guan for saving his life back then,"

Guan Tong couldn't help laughing at Shangguan Xiu's evasion, and he didn't take the topic away from him, and asked: "So, what does Your Highness think about sending troops to solve the problem?"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled and said, "Back then, Elder Guan once said to Xiu that there would be something to ask for in the future, but I don't know if it's a matter of this,"

Guan Tong smiled lightly and said, "That's just the old man's whims, Your Highness doesn't have to take it seriously,"

Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: "If Elder Guan said that what he asked for back then was to send troops to relieve the siege of Shenchi today, Xiu would definitely agree,"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ministers present changed the same, and before the people around him could speak, Guan Tong had already laughed on his back, and said with bright eyes: "Even if the old man doesn't ask for it, in His Highness's heart, hasn't he already made a decision?"

Shangguan Xiu blinked his eyes, paused for a moment, he asked with a quiet smile: "Insight, deduction," With the continuous improvement of cultivation, Shangguan Xiu's understanding of Lingwu is getting deeper and deeper, Lingwu can indeed predict the future, insight can predict the moment of the future, and deduction can predict far away,

Guan Tong smiled silently, and did not answer the question in his heart,

Shangguan Xiu didn't ask any more questions, only nodded with a smile, and then, he looked around at the people present, and said in a loud voice: " The rebels besieged Shenchi, in the final analysis, is to let Shenchi recognize the orthodoxy of the rebels, it seems that the imperial court is not about itself, in fact, this matter is very important to the imperial court, once Shenchi can not withstand the pressure of the rebels and make a compromise with the rebels, then, the orthodoxy of the wind country will no longer be the imperial court, but the rebels, the people of the wind country will also lose confidence in the imperial court, and the rebels have become the people's heart, the people's heart, is the biggest advantage in the hands of the imperial court, if this advantage is lost, even if the imperial court has retreated to the four western counties, it is also untenable, sooner or later the rebels will be beaten out of the wind country, this, it should not be what you adults are happy to see, right, ”

Shangguan Xiu's words made everyone present look at each other, and no one spoke, but their faces were not very good-looking.

"This time, the rebels besieged Shenchi with the crime of wanting to add crimes, for the imperial court, it is a rare good opportunity to send troops to quell the rebellion, this is the will of heaven, the will of the people, even if our army is only 200,000, even if the enemy army has millions of people, what is enough,"

When Shangguan Xiu spoke, his eyes lit up, and he turned to Tang Ling and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the opportunity cannot be lost, and if it is late, there will be changes, and now the imperial court will immediately send troops to crusade against the rebels and relieve the siege of Shenchi, this move is also for the people of the world to see, the imperial court is unswervingly on the side of Shenchi, and Shenchi is also unswervingly on the side of the imperial court, the rebels are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam,"
