Chapter 286: Confrontation between the North and the South

At this time, the eastern capital was brilliantly lit, especially the urban area where Qiutai was located, which was like a city that never sleeps.

When Xiao Yu walked out of the alley, Lin Han, who was guarding outside the alley, was obviously stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Brother-in-law, so fast?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Han's face had already changed drastically, and he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps immediately.

Xiao Yu didn't care about the pun in Lin Han's words, but said flatly: "It's just a meeting, since we've met, let's go." ”

Xiao Yu took Lin Han and walked aimlessly in the Eastern Capital.

After walking through the gorgeous autumn platform, and walking through the long street where Qin Mumian killed each other, he went straight out of the inner city, walked through the Liuquan Building, walked through the blacksmith shop hidden in the alley, and finally came to the small lakeside building.

Xiao Yu wanted to go in and revisit his hometown, but he found that the remote and uninhabited lakeside building was very different, and there was a team of armor soldiers standing outside the door at some point, and no one was allowed to enter.

Xiao Yu turned around and glanced at Lin Han, and sighed lightly: "I know that it is the Regent's Hidden Mansion, but I don't know and I think it was raided." ”

Lin Han also looked there, and said with a very complicated expression: "This is the so-called public cultivation in the Central Plains, it's really leaky." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, no longer interested in revisiting his old place, and turned to the Anguo Mansion.

"Anguo Mansion is the place where I grew up, and it is also my first home in the true sense, but from leaving home to standing on my own, I haven't been back for seven years, and the last time I went back, I only took a jar of wine with me. ”

Xiao Yu said: "Anguo Mansion is also Xiao Mansion, where the head of the Xiao family has lived for generations, and now Xiao Lie is pensioned. ”

Lin Han was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why Xiao Yu would say this to himself.

Xiao Yu didn't explain much, and took Lin Han to the gate of the Anguo Mansion, which was also full of soldiers and armor, and there were a large number of secret guards in black brocade robes, even if they didn't let the people inside out, they didn't let the people outside in, making this place a small world isolated from the world.

Xiao Yu looked at this mansion and said to Lin Han behind him: "Today's cabinet should be on duty for Lan Yu, you should go to Wenyuan Pavilion now and ask Lan Yu to go to Tianji Pavilion and his party." ”

Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took the order.

Xiao Yu stood outside the Anguo Mansion and watched for a long time, but still didn't go in, and continued to walk towards the depths of the Eastern Capital.

Further inside, is the Imperial City.

The Imperial City is a big array, but the cardinal key of this big array has fallen into Xiao Yu's hands, so this big array that claims to be able to resist the free immortals can't stop Xiao Yu's footsteps.

And Tianji Pavilion is in the depths of the imperial city.

Xiao Yu flew over the city walls and palace walls like a shadow, and landed in front of the black-and-white building under the cover of the jungle through the night.

Push the door in, and the place is already empty.

The Tianji List that was originally hanging here has been taken away by Fu Chen, and the people of Tianji Pavilion have already been divided into two points, some of them went to Jiangnan with Fu Chen, and the other part went to the northwest with Lan Yu.

The Heavenly Machine Pavilion, which was once second only to the Sword Sect, suddenly declined like this, and it was no longer at its peak.

The reason why Xiao Yu wanted to come here was, in the final analysis, because of the imperial city array under his feet. The construction and operation of this large array are all from the hands of Tianji Pavilion, although now Xiao Yu has mastered the cardinal key of the large array, but Xiao Yu does not believe that as the builder of Tianji Pavilion, there will be no "back door", and Fu Chen can quietly sneak into the deep palace that day, which seems to explain this.

Just now, when Xiao Yu was walking all over the Eastern Capital, he suddenly vaguely noticed that this imperial city in the center of the Eastern Capital was not as invulnerable as it seemed on the surface, and there seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't grasp that point for a long time. That's why he temporarily came to the old site of Tianji Pavilion to take a look, and also summoned Lan Yu, the young master of Tianji Pavilion, hoping that with the strength of the two of them, he could peek out where the "back door" was.

Not long after, Lan Yu, who was still wearing a first-class official robe, hurried over.

Xiao Yu didn't have any greetings, and asked directly: "Ruiyu, how much do you know about the details of Tianji Pavilion?"

Lan Yu was slightly stunned, and then pondered: "I can probably know seven or eight out of ten, more than the two gentlemen of Nan Jinren and Xu Zhenzhi, but the last two or three points are only known by the pavilion master, and I have not officially succeeded to the position of the pavilion master, so there is no way to know." ”

Xiao Yu then asked, "Among the two or three points you don't know, it doesn't include the Imperial City Great Array?"

Lan Yu's face was slightly solemn, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Including." ”

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "It seems that this matter is a hidden danger after all, Fu Chen may have to make some fuss about it." Do you think the two of us can figure out what's going on?"

Lan Yu said in a low voice, "You can give it a try." ”

――

Jiangnan, 10,000 acres of bamboo forest.

It is still the deserted bamboo building, and it is still a servant in the name of east, south, west, and north.

On the second floor of the bamboo building, the owner of the bamboo building is feasting guests.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact, there were only three people, one host, one guest, and one accompanying seat, and the identities of the three were not the same, but there was only one thing that was the same, that is, they were all regarded by Xiao Yu as a thorn in the flesh, and they wanted to get rid of them quickly.

The host is Fu Chen, the guest is Zhao Qing, and the accompanying seat is Xu Hongru.

Needless to say, Fu Chen is another chess player after the real person in charge, hiding behind the scenes and stirring up the general trend of the world, and indirectly dominating the current north-south confrontation. Zhao Qing, who has been an enemy of Xiao Yu since childhood, grew up and the two of them were in power, and they were even more undying, after the city of Bohai Mansion was broken, he was rescued by Xu Hongru, and came to Jiangnan and defected to Lu Qian.

After the battle between Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie, the Tianji List was updated again, Xiao Yu directly replaced Xiao Lie's position and ranked sixth in the world, while Weichen finally entered the Tianji List and overtook Xu Hongru to become the ninth. Although Xu Hongru is ranked at the bottom, since he has stepped into the tenth person on the Tianji List, he is a master in the world.

Looking at the sects in the cultivation world today, there are two people in the Dao Sect on the list, one from the Sword Sect, one from the Buddha Sect, one from the Demon Sect, one from the White Lotus Sect, one from the King Kong Temple, and the other three Xiao Yu, Murong Yan, and Qingchen are all people without sects, and they can be regarded as loose cultivators. Coupled with a Fu Chen who is not on the list but has a cultivation on the list, the White Lotus Sect has two people, which is comparable to the Taoist sect at the head of the sect. And Confucianism has no one on the list, the decline is obvious, if it is not for the hidden world like Wang Yun, I am afraid that the status of the three religions is no longer guaranteed.

Fu Chen sat in the master's position, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked out the window, and said with emotion: "The matter of the number of qi is unspeakable, but also mysterious and indescribable, in terms of the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the number of great Zheng qi has been exhausted, just like the old man in the twilight, and Xiao Yu is the trend of the times, just like the situation of youth, if you take down the south of the Yangtze River, it will be in the prime of life, and we will do the same, so this battle between the north and the south is not only the battle between the sects, but also the battle between the soldiers, and the battle for the number of qi." ”

Zhao Qing, who was dressed in a splendid black robe, asked softly, "Dare to ask sir, what are the chances of victory between the enemy and us?"

Fu Chen said with a smile: "The matter of gas counting, one thing and the other rising, not a fixed number, as far as the current situation is concerned, Xiao Yu is located in the north, occupying the orthodox eastern capital, and has a condescending trend, so the odds are greater, but the northeast herdsmen have not yet returned to Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu's odds of winning will not be too outrageous, in general, it is roughly Xiao Yu six and we four." ”

Zhao Qing frowned slightly and said, "It's not much." ”

Fu Chen said softly: "But it's not less. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and since ancient times, it has been riding north and south, and how many times have the southern soldiers gone north?"

Zhao Qing clenched his fists fiercely, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I'm still unwilling." ”

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Most of the things in the world are unsatisfactory. ”

Zhao Qing closed his eyes, his eyebrows were full of gloom, and he said hatefully: "Thousands of wishful things can't withstand this unsatisfactory thing, even if I can't get it, I won't let Xiao Yu get it." ”

Fu Chen, who has been committed to stirring up the general trend of the world all his life, smiled, retracted his gaze, and turned his head to look at the general of the defeated army who was full of hatred, "Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it, so he used the battle for the world to refer to the dispute in the world, to make it clear, it is the question of whose surname is the world, and the proprietor has done it, so he has let the world surname Qin for nearly three hundred years, and now Xiao Yu wants to follow the example of the proprietor back then, so that the world is surnamed Xiao, then do you know what is the difference between Xiao Yu and the proprietor?"

Zhao Qing shook his head and said, "Please teach me, sir." ”

Fu Chen smiled slightly: "The proprietor is the first person in history to succeed in the Northern Expedition, the proprietor's Northern Expedition, starting from Jiangdu and ending in the Eastern Capital, was built after expulsion, and established immortal meritorious deeds. ”

Zhao Qing hesitated in confusion: "People's heart?"

Fu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not the people's heart, but the people's heart." The will of the people is the will of the people, but the heart of the people is not necessarily the will of the people. The true meaning of this, you think carefully. ”

With that, Fu Chen got up and left laughing.
