Xiao Yu, who got rid of the Heavenly Demon, although he felt as weak as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, he had an indescribable sense of relief, as if the burden he had been carrying was thrown off, and the boulder pressed on his heart was overturned, which was a relief from the inside out, but Xiao Yu could also feel that the Yi Xuan Yin Qi in his sea of qi was receding like a tide, and in just a few breaths, most of it dissipated, leaving only about the level of the frost realm. At the same time, the qi machine corresponding to Daomen and Confucianism suddenly flourished, and quickly seized the territory left after the withdrawal of the demon gate qi machine, while the Buddhist gate qi machine tended to calm down and has been "watching coldly".

To put it simply and bluntly, Xiao Yu is now "righteous and awe-inspiring", which is the kind of feeling that people feel at a glance that he is a righteous person, not an evil demon.

After removing the thorn of the Seven Star Tower, Xiao Yu could already feel that the entire Eastern Capital Great Array was finally consummating, which undoubtedly made Fu Chen no longer able to come and leave as soon as he wanted, although Xiao Yu lost about three qi cultivation, but he finally took the Eastern Capital into his own hands. There are gains and losses, there are gains and gains.

Xiao Yu, who was in a good mood, returned to Wanshouyuan and began to prepare for the emperor's wedding, as well as a series of military transfers after the wedding.

――

Located in the quiet bamboo building in the 10,000 acres of bamboo forest in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many people sitting on the first floor, including Zhao Qing, Xu Hongru, Tang Shengyue, and Zhang Chuanting, the first civil official in Jiangnan.

Fu Chen, who was dressed in a crane, sat on the main seat, with a gloomy demeanor, like a man among the gods.

This Mr. Fu, who is hiding behind the scenes and stirring up the general trend of the world, is rarely angry, and today is no exception, even if Xiao Yu completely destroys the big back hand he left in the Eastern Capital, he does not have any chagrin and anger, just thoughtfully.

The entire bamboo building was silent, and it wasn't until Fu Chen came back from his contemplation that he opened his mouth to break the silence, "Sheng Yue, what kind of person do you think Xiao Yu is?"

Tang Shengyue, who returned to the White Lotus Sect as a saint, replied respectfully: "According to the disciple's opinion, Xiao Yu is a person who takes life and death lightly, attaches great importance to utilitarianism, is conceited and arrogant, and is scheming but decisive, but he can bend and stretch at critical moments, and he can also be cold-hearted. ”

The behind-the-scenes master of Jiangnan snorted, picked up the already cold tea and took a sip, "Sitting on half of the country, there is no doubt that it is not a masterpiece but also a talent." Now looking at the whole Jiangbei, Xiao Yu is the key to the key, since he became a thing, I have been looking for an opportunity to get rid of him, but unfortunately I have not been able to do so, to this day, Xiao Yu is already very difficult to control, to put it mildly, the situation has already reversed, not that we want to get rid of Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu wants to get rid of us. ”

Tang Shengyue asked softly, "Why did Master say this?"

Fu Chen chuckled and said: "Xiao Yu has said to people many times in private that the day he will pacify Jiangnan will be the time when he will be proclaimed emperor, and the intention is obvious. Now Xiao Yu is busy consolidating the eastern capital and Jiangbei that he has just arrived, and he can't spare his hands to deal with Jiangnan, but I believe that after Xiao Yu completely digests the Jiangbei in his mouth, he will inevitably have to go south. ”

Zhang Chuanting smiled helplessly: "In all fairness, in terms of military strength, Jiangnan has no chance of winning. ”

Fu Chen knocked on the armrest of the bamboo chair, and said in a slightly accentuated tone: "This is the key. ”

Zhang Chuanting said slowly: "Relying on his own strength, he can't fight on the frontal battlefield, then he can only rely on external forces, but since ancient times, the external forces that have the ability to intervene in the general trend of the Central Plains are nothing more than the grassland and the Houjian family, the grassland Needless to say, that is Xiao Yu's wife's family, which was originally built and can also be used, but Xiao Yu took the lead, but it became Xiao Yu's means to contain the herdsman." Among them, there are many reasons, and in the final analysis, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin's father and son, as well as the Hou Jian Xiao family, fell to Xiao Yu as a whole. ”

Fu Chen nodded and said: "After the establishment of the Xiao family, the Zhongdu Xiao family, and the Eastern capital Xiao family, the three families tend to be unified, Xiao Yu becomes the de facto head of the Xiao family, and the next thing should be that the children of the Xiao family have come out one after another, grasp the real power, and realize that the Xiao family will become a behemoth that surpasses the Wanyan family and the Qin family." ”

Fu Chen paused for a moment, and then continued: "These worldly things, I can't rush to come, let's talk about things in the cultivation world, Xiao Yu is standing behind the Daomen, this is a well-known thing, and then there are the rebel Lan Yu and the old man of Tianji Pavilion who have joined Xiao Yu's command, and now there are two free immortals around Xiao Yu, namely Xu Zhenzhi and Nan Jinren, Xu Hongru, if you face Xu Zhenzhi alone, what are the chances of winning?"

Xu Hongru replied respectfully: "If you don't dare to say that you will win, there is about an eighty percent chance of winning." ”

Fu Chen then asked, "What if you face Xu Zhenzhi and Nan Jinren joining forces?"

Xu Hongru replied: "You may be able to escape with your life, but you don't dare to win." ”

Fu Shen picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea, and said in a deep voice: "In addition to these two people, the Dao Sect is the real confidant, even if the purple dust soars, the dustless sits, and the Qingchen rebels, the Dao Sect is still the head of the sect, and this kind of heritage is far from being comparable to other sects." Shangguan Xianchen recuperated from his injuries, the Sword Sect immediately languished, the master of the Molun Temple died, and the Molun Temple disappeared after a few decades. On the other hand, the Daoist Sect of the year had nine sons and nine gone, and only five people remained: Tianchen, Weichen, Xichen, Yuchen, and Qingchen, but these five people were still overwhelming the cultivation world, so that others could not raise their heads. Besides, our White Lotus Sect, after the first battle of Jiangdu, suffered heavy losses, the holy woman was captured, and the White Lotus envoy and other three people died, which can almost be called a great injury to the vitality, and the opponent at that time was only a Jiangnan Daomen and Xiao Yu alone, let me ask how our White Lotus Sect should resist in the face of the entire Daomen?"

No one in the entire bamboo building could answer Fu Chen's question.

Fu Chen put down the teacup in his hand expressionlessly, "Vertical and horizontal, this is Xiao Jin's earliest proposed strategy to balance the Taoist Sect, he also put it into practice, and personally went to the Sword Sect to persuade Shangguan Xianchen, which led to the fact that I, Shangguan Xianchen, Zhang Zai, Mu Guan, Qingchen, Diao Yin and others joined forces to send Zichen to ascend, but unfortunately Xiao Jin was captured by Daoist Qiuye on the way back and brought back to Daozong, and then transferred to Xiao Yu's hands, since then, Xiao Jin turned his back on Xiao Lie and turned into Xiao Yu's command. I have to say that Xiao Jin is a person who understands the power of the times, and no one in the world can match him, just when the northwest was in danger last time, it was he who personally went to Jiangnan to persuade Lu Qian, so that Lan Yu could return to the northwest and relieve the siege of Zhongdu. ”

Zhang Chuanting sighed helplessly: "After all, no one was optimistic about Xiao Yu at that time, who would have thought that Xiao Yu would really be able to enter the Central Plains?"

Zhao Qing, who had been silent, spoke: "It's useless to talk about these things now, in my opinion, we should follow Xiao Jin's strategy of combining vertical and horizontal back then, and once again unite all families to resist the Dao Sect." ”

Fu Chen shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, the character of the Shangguan Immortal Chen, Zichen is not there, there is no one worthy of him to go out of the sword, and in his opinion, since there is no enemy under the sword, then the Dao Sect is not to worry." How Xiao Jin persuaded Shangguan Xianchen back then, outsiders don't know, now Xiao Jin has joined Xiao Yu, who can convince Shangguan Xianchen? As for the Buddhism side, they don't want to see a Taoist sect that dominates the cultivation world, but they don't want to see the declining Taoist sect, Confucianism has completely decayed, if the Taoist sect follows in the footsteps of Confucianism, it will be difficult for a Buddhist sect to support it alone, so that the White Lotus Sect that pretends to use the name of Maitreya or the Demon Gate with the Buddhism Gate will not tolerate the Demon Gate to occupy the world, this is something that the group of monks in the Buddhist Gate would rather die than see. ”

"If these three families are unwilling to come forward, some other small sects and small sects will not dare to brush the tiger whiskers of the Dao Sect, and even if they dare, it will not be of much use to the overall situation. ”

"It's a tough time. ”

Fu Chen looked at the empty teacup in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Nine deaths and one life, where is the glimmer of life?"

It is not only to ask others, but also to ask oneself.

――

In Princess Ling'an's mansion, Xiao Jin smiled at her mother: "Mother, if I say that I am really an immortal in the sky, do you believe it?"

Princess Ling'an reached out and touched her precious son's forehead, and then touched her forehead again, and said suspiciously: "I don't have a fever." ”

Xiao Jin was a little embarrassed, then shook his head and sighed: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know say what I want." ”

Princess Ling'an straightened her face, a little displeased.

No matter which mother in the world, it is undoubtedly a very sad thing to be regarded by her son as someone who does not know herself.

Xiao Jin walked to the window, looked out the window, turned his back to his mother, and said softly: "The avenue is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and there is one who escapes." ”

"Since I've come here and seen so many familiar strangers, I believe I'm the One. ”
