The Xiang family has been dormant for more than 200 years, and under the crazy pursuit of the Sima family, they once did not dare to show their heads at all, but they are not worthy of being the descendants of the Xiang family.

Therefore, since more than 100 years ago, the Xiang family began to look for suitable candidates.

At that time, Liangshan was still a small force and had a difficult time to develop, but since the Xiang family began to help Liangshan, it began to truly expand.

Today, he has been able to compete with the Seven Killing Palace, one of the ten immortal gates!

It is not only the resources that have been paid, but also the great effort.

As Liangshan grew stronger and stronger, the Xiang family did not trust Song Lun as much as they once did, so they made an elder of the Xiang family, alias Lu Guangsheng, become the second leader of Liangshan.

The status is second only to the white-clothed scholar Song Lun.

Over the years, Lu Guangsheng has also been constantly improving his voice and attracting other strong people, but Liangshan was created by Song Lun himself after all.

The people of Liangshan still trust him the most.

The right to speak is more than one level stronger than him.

Xiang Qianqiu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:

"If Song Lun is in contact with Jingtai, I'm afraid the Xiang family will be exposed by now."

"Let's do that"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Lu Guangsheng's eyes, and he wanted to strike first and destroy Song Lun, and then the Xiang family took over the 800-mile Shuibo Liang Cottage with a thunderous momentum!

"This matter." Xiang Qianqiu's eyes froze, and he continued: "We can't do this first, let alone the name of the Xiang family. ”

"Why?"

Xiang Qianqiu explained: "The world seems to be stormy now, but in fact, the foundation of the Sima family is still there, and it has not been completely chaotic, once the Xiang family gets into trouble, even if Jingtai doesn't want to, he must gather all the forces of the imperial court to besiege Liangshan."

Ordinary rebellion and rebellion of the remnants of the previous dynasty are two concepts, and if the Sima family wants to maintain orthodoxy, they must spare no effort to exterminate all the Xiang family members.

This can be seen from the pursuit that has not stopped for more than 200 years!

"If we wait for the incident and the heroes of the world follow suit, maybe the Sima family will not dare to make a desperate bet." Lu Guangsheng frowned and said his opinion.

"The Xiang family has been dormant for so many years, you can't bet on an uncertain thing, you must preserve your strength, it's not the time yet." Xiang Qianqiu said in a condensed voice.

"Timing, timing, what exactly is the timing that the patriarch has been talking about?" Lu Guangsheng frowned, he didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

"The real time is the opportunity to divide the world in an instant, and the last time the Northern Barbarian invasion exacerbated this process, and the recent period of turmoil in the world is gradually intensifying this process. But. That's not enough! Far from enough! ”

Xiang Qianqiu's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't have anything else to fear, the only thing he was worried about was the group of people who really destroyed the Xiang family back then!

Without the realm of immortals, it is impossible to even contend with it.

"Then do you just sit back and watch Song Lun come into contact with the Sima family's dog thief? If he felt that the time had come, I am afraid that it would be the time for the powerhouses of the imperial court to descend on the Blood State. ”

Lu Guangsheng continued.

Xiang Qianqiu raised his hand to stop Lu Guangsheng's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about the inaccurate information he had gotten before, and said after being silent for a long time:

"Killing Song Lun doesn't need us."

"Does the patriarch have any other followers?"

"Do you remember the Lin Demon True Monarch who shook the south a few days ago?" Xiang Qianqiu asked in a condensed voice.

"He's also from the Xiang family?"

"I guess there's some connection."

"But a Lin Demon True Monarch doesn't have the strength to kill Song Lun head-on, right?" Dengxian Tower's ranking for the Lin Demon True Monarch is more than thirty.

And Song Lun is more than ten people, and the gap is not small.

"This person also has helpers." Xiang Qianqiu smiled faintly, as if he knew a lot of things, not just a little one-sided.

"It's good that the patriarch has a plan."

"You don't need to worry about this matter, Song Lun used the resources of the Xiang family to rise, and now he dares to rebel, he must be made to pay the price of blood, and all his family members are closely monitored, and they are not allowed to go out of the blood state."

"Patriarch rest assured, Song Lun shouldn't know that we have detected his mind now, and I don't have any precautions against me now."

"Don't be careless, Song Lun is also a master of the moment, but it's a pity that he is not very obedient."

Xiang Qianqiu's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

"By the way, what happened to the things that you were asked to track down earlier?" Xiang Qianqiu's voice suddenly changed and asked rhetorically.

"The traces of the Cult of Life are a bit eyebrow now, it's just. Our Xiang family doesn't seem to have any contact with the Wusheng Sect, so why did the patriarch ask me to investigate the traces of these demons? ”

"Naturally, it's useful, continue to pay close attention, don't let these demons notice the abnormality, Jingtai is playing chess, and this seat is the same." The corners of Xiang Qianqiu's mouth hooked, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go back first, in a few days it will be Song Lun's one hundred and twenty birthday, and when the time comes. There will be a big gift for him. ”

After saying that, the void in front of Xiang Qianqiu rippled, and he stepped in with one leg.

"The patriarch returns to the secret realm?"

"No, go and meet the hall master of the Seven Killings Palace, he stopped at this time, no accident is waiting for this seat, it just so happens that there is an old acquaintance who has not been seen for many years, hehe."

The capital, inside the Imperial Study.

Jingtai is still like that as always, his face is calm, not angry, a cup of spiritual tea is steaming with a cup of spiritual tea in his hand, and on the table is the latest issue of the Supreme List published by Dengxian Tower.

His gaze swept over the many names on it one by one, and he stayed on the Shura Demon Monarch for a moment, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his gaze to the Lin Demon True Monarch who had just ascended to the Supreme List.

"Has the true identity of the Lin Demon True Monarch been clarified?"

Jingtai raised his head and looked at Cao Zhengxian and asked.

"Well, Your Majesty, not yet." Cao Zhengxian lowered his head.

"Not at all?"

"The subordinates and the Sky Survey Division are already trying their best to track it down, but this person seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and after comparison and judgment, there is no resemblance to the strong man who once disappeared.

Therefore, the old minister dared to guess that this Lin Demon True Monarch may be an ascetic martial artist who lives in the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang all the year round, and this time he only happened to appear. ”

"Continue to investigate, even if you can't find out the true identity of this person, you have to track his current whereabouts, I am already looking for heaven and earth beasts, if I can get the Qilin divine blood on his body"

Jingtai squinted his eyes and didn't finish.

"The old minister must do his best."

Cao Zhengxian immediately expressed his position.

"Also, have you found any traces of the Daoshen Palace? It's been nearly a year since the Imperial City worshiped the ancestors, what's the use of only catching some demon demons?

What I want is to save the face of the court and the royal family! ”

Jingtai's tone was not very good, and he directly reprimanded Cao Zhengxian for his ineffective work.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the old minister is guilty, but this divine palace is really a bit difficult, and the evil ghost old man has never shown up since the battle of the Imperial City."

Yang Huatian, the evil ghost Dao master, took the initiative to reveal his identity that day, so the imperial court also put the goal of breaking through on him, but unfortunately, until today, they have not found their whereabouts.

To say that it is ineffective, it is true.

"The origin of the Daoshen Palace is mysterious, the picture is not small, it is a piece of my heart disease, it must be completely eradicated, I will give you another half a year, no matter what method you use, you must find the traces of Yang Huatian, you must see people alive, and corpses when you die!"

Jingtai gave an ultimatum.

"The old minister understands!"

Wanting to find the traces of a true god refining person in the world is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, but under the emperor's anger, he must accept it and mobilize all the spies to investigate this person's whereabouts.

"Can the Duke of Wei and the Generalissimo leave now?" Jingtai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and quickly changed his face.

Moody, nothing more than that.

"Back to Your Majesty, yesterday the old minister had already given His Majesty's handwritten decree to Duke Gu and Duke Li, and now if there is no accident, I am afraid that he has already left Beijing!"

Cao Zhengxian hurriedly said.

Jingtai bowed slightly, picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip, his eyes contained an inexplicable look, in order to stabilize the court and stabilize the Sima family, he actually used a lot of means.

For example, this time Liangshan!

If Song Lun hadn't taken the initiative to find him, he really hadn't noticed that the Xiang family was behind Liangshan, using the banner of Liangshan to win over warriors and train soldiers and horses.

Just to restore the country one day.

It's a pity that no matter how much your Xiang family plans, Liangshan, the power that has been accumulated for many years, will now be taken under the command of the imperial court, and by the way, let the Xiang family weaken again.

When the country is destroyed, you should honestly survive, instead of thinking about Zhongxing Dachu all the time.

Now, it's the world of their Sima family!

With the annexation of Liangshan, the strength of the imperial court will be added to another point, and it will also be able to truly recover most of the territory of the Blood State and improve its prestige in the world.

In this way, it will be much easier for him to do anything in the future.

Of course, the premise is that Song Lun doesn't play any tricks and does things for him honestly!

"Go down, I'm a little tired." Jingtai waved his hand.

Cao Zhengxian hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the old minister actually has one more thing to report to you."

"Say."

"The secret agent below has sent news that something is not quite right in Tangshan Mansion."

"Tangshan." Jingtai frowned:

"I remember that this seems to be the state capital where Marquis Wu Anhou once served as a Qing envoy, right?"

"Yes, exactly."

"What's wrong?"

Cao Zhengxian thought about the news that was not confirmed to be true or false, and continued in a low voice:

"The secret agent found that the people of Tangshan Mansion only knew that there was Wu'an Hou, but they didn't know that there was His Majesty, in addition, in recent times, Tangshan Mansion and even the surrounding state capitals, many young people have disappeared for various reasons."

"Huh?"

"Moreover, not long ago, there was a sudden moment in the depths of the Tangshan Mountain Range where the dragon turned over, and there were secret agents entering the investigation, but no matter how many people entered, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news."

"Why is there no news from Qingzhou?"

Jingtai frowned.

"This. The old minister didn't know. ”

Is Cao Zhengxian really unknown?

Of course not, it's just, after he has finished everything, what should the emperor say?

Sure enough, after he finished saying that he didn't know, Jingtai's next sentence came out:

"I heard that Jiang He, the golden envoy of Qingzhou, is very close to Wu'an Hou?"

"As far as the old minister knows, when Hou Xiu of Wu'an was weak, he once provoked a lot of enemies in the rivers and lakes, and Jiang He came forward to eliminate these grievances for him."

"It seems. This Wu Anhou of mine is a little cautious. Jingtai's eyes were slightly cold, and a faint killing intent flashed in his eyes.

can be the emperor and have so many layouts, Jingtai is naturally not stupid, although the news that Cao Zhengxian said is not true or false for the time being, but sometimes it doesn't matter whether it is true or false.

The important thing is that Chen Yuan is indeed not a peaceful character.

He didn't think that Chen Yuan dared to have the intention of rebellion, but he still had the idea of bargaining with the imperial court to divide one side.

"After all, Marquis Wu Anhou is young and vigorous, and His Majesty has to take care of one or two more." Cao Zhengxian echoed at the right time.

"It's okay to be a little careful, as long as it's not too big." As he spoke, Jingtai turned his gaze to Cao Zhengxian and asked:

"According to Cao Qing's opinion, how should we deal with Wu Anhou?"

"Your Majesty, the secret agent is just a guess, and there is no real evidence, it is not appropriate to arrest Chen Yuan by relying on these things, it will make the officials below have other thoughts.

Lao Chen thought that he could use a method to determine whether Wu Anhou had other thoughts. ”

Cao Zhengxian said in a condensed voice.

"How?"

"Summoning Wu Anhou to Beijing to report on his work! It has been a few months since he arrived in the south, and he has made a lot of contributions, and with his cultivation speed, he can reach Shenjing in a few days. As long as Wu Anhou dares to come, it proves that he has no other thoughts, but if he pushes back and delays for various reasons, then. I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to prepare early. ”

Jingtai nodded thoughtfully when he heard this:

"It's according to Cao Qing's opinion, but at this time, let's press it for the time being, and wait for this time to pass."

He was not in a hurry, even if Chen Yuan really had other careful thoughts, it would not be too many months to spare, and besides, he would not be able to pull any forces into the climate in a few months.

"Your Majesty said yes"

"Okay, stand down first, and remember to do what I told you."

"The old minister obeys!"

Shuzhou border, Tangshan Mansion.

Since leaving Nanping Mansion, Chen Yuan has taken Su Ziyue all the way in this direction, and is thinking with her about how to transfer Song Lun out of the Liangshan base camp.

If they hit it directly, even if they have three True Monarchs on their side, they may not be able to please anything.

A hundred years of Liangshan, it seems that it has not been established for a long time, and it is not even as good as a family like the Shangguan clan, but the strength is very different, and the Shangguan family is a family with one surname.

And Liangshan is actually accepting the warriors of Tiannan and Haibei.

On the bright side alone, there are two true monarchs, the number of Huayang real people in one palm, if you exclude the predecessors of Moro, then Liangshan's strength is only stronger than the Dao Divine Palace.

The most important thing is that there is a Xiang family behind Liangshan who does not know the depth.

Breaking into Liangshan alone is no less than entering the Longtan Tiger's Den.

Not desirable at all.

Only by luring Song Lun out is the right way.

"If you want Song Lun to show up in a short time, I'm afraid. The news of the Yuanjing vein in the Black Blood Mountain Range needs to be spread. Su Ziyue thought for a moment and said.

If you want to attract a true monarch, ordinary methods will not work, and it is best to be tempted that the other party can't refuse.

It's just that once the Yuanjing vein is exposed, I'm afraid that the fight is not only for Liangshan's family, and other forces in the Blood State will inevitably intervene, and if he wants to keep it, he needs to send more forces to garrison the Blood State.

"Let me think."

Chen Yuan had also thought about this before, but he didn't make up his mind, because in this way, it was really not necessarily worth it, but at present, there was only one way.

Imagine that it is no longer advisable to kill a strong person like Guan Hai and force Song Lun to come out like last time, Liang Shan is confronting the Seven Killing Palace, and it is impossible for Song Lun not to take this into account.

"Tangshan is really a good place."

Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue walked in the sky, looking down at the scene below, even if it was not a county seat, there was still an endless flow of people on the official road, a prosperous scene.

"Located at the junction of three states, it is a place where soldiers must fight, but at the same time, it is also a place where the enemy is on the back, and if you want to hold this place, you need to have a state to rely on as a backer."

"What do you think I'm sitting in Shuzhou for?"

Chen Yuan chuckled when he heard this.

How could he not know the pros and cons of Tangshan?

"Shu is mountainous and rugged, but the resources are indeed the best among the thirteen states in the world, which is better than Qingzhou in Pingchuan." Su Ziyue commented.

Don't think that the terrain is not important, except for the existence of the top of the rivers and lakes, that is, the true monarch is strong, the rest, but whenever you encounter the pressure of the army, it is definitely a dangerous pass to take advantage of the terrain to set up a killing formation.

When manpower is poor, heaven and earth are not.

And Chen Yuan's plan has always been like this, first to control the anointed land of Shuzhou, and then slowly move towards other state capitals, and then gradually control the south.

When the time comes, you can go north to the Central Plains!

"Let's go, go see your army!"

Su Ziyue was very interested, of course, she also wanted to judge the strength of Chen Yuan's hands, so that she could judge the situation and control the situation.

Chen Yuan naturally would not refuse, and took Su Ziyue into the grove.

No, entered the Tangshan Mountains.

With those things in their memory, they avoided the mountain protection array, Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue did not alarm anyone, and they came to the military camp deep in the mountain range after a short time.

There is a formation around it, and no movement can be heard outside, but the movement here is really not small.

The drums of war are noisy, and the iron hooves are roaring.

The huge mountain range was leveled, and it was several times larger than when Chen Yuan first came, and at a glance, all of them were black-robed iron horsemen with complete armor, practicing cavalry hedging and the method of colluding qi and blood.

"How many soldiers and horses are there?"

Su Ziyue could only have a rough guess, but this was amazing enough, she never expected Chen Yuan to quietly train such an elite cavalry here!

Although it has not yet been truly combated, it can be understood by looking at its military appearance and posture that this is definitely an elite iron cavalry.

"There are 30,000 cavalry here, and they are still recruiting soldiers."

"How much are you going to expand?"

"100,000 iron horsemen, it's almost enough!"

"Can the Yuanjing mine afford it?"

"In the huge south, how many forces have accumulated for a hundred years? Don't say it's 100,000, even if it's 300,000 or 500,000, you can afford it! ”
