Chapter 31: Guards

Time flies, more than a week has passed, and the fact that the Divine Machine Pavilion is a hidden demon gate has been completely spread in the rivers and lakes! For a while, the crusade was everywhere!

Finally, Tianjian Mountain, the first sect in the world, under the expectation of everyone, started a war against the Shenji Pavilion and immediately sent troops to conscript.

The other major top sects also sent troops to support.

The Shenji Pavilion also explained, and also promised Tianjian Mountain that it would not pursue Zhu Lu's death, and even promised the imperial court a lot of money and begged for forgiveness and protection, but did not receive any response.

The Divine Machine Pavilion has reached the moment of life and death!

But in the eyes of the world, there is still no shadow of the imperial court in this war, but She Bao and his party have quietly arrived on the orders of the emperor and are tightly protected by the government and major sects......

In addition, the only people She Bao brought on this trip were Shen Yiyi and Qing Tong, Yan Xin'er wanted to come, but She Bao and Yan Guogong persuaded her to stay at home on the grounds that her trip was dangerous.

……

At this time, the heavy state where the Shenji Pavilion is located does not have the depression and flight of the imminent war, nor does it have a sense of oppression that is about to come.

On the contrary, with the influx of countless people in the rivers and lakes, various merchants ushered in a business peak.

The reason why this is so is because of the Divine Machine Pavilion.

……

Everyone in the Shenji Pavilion understood that there was no escape, and Zhu Lu's father, the current sect master, ordered: All the sects under the jurisdiction of His Excellency Shenji can consciously withdraw, and the Shenji Pavilion promises not to take the initiative to involve the rest of the sects and ordinary people.

The craftsmen and subordinates in the sect were all sent away to flee for their lives, and even the disciples in the sect could leave.

In the end, when only the disciples who volunteered to stay were left, the Shenji Pavilion closed the mountain gate and ordered: Fight to the death!

At this time, the sect master of the Divine Machine Pavilion spoke again: This is a conspiracy of Chiguoguo, it is an invasion!

He hopes that with the true justice and righteousness of the Shenji Pavilion, he will awaken the world to see the true face of the so-called righteous path.

He also said that although their Shenji Pavilion is also in the same stream as the righteous path, they started with business, supported their families with business, and supported the people of Chongzhou with work. I don't dare to say that it is innocent, but it is definitely much cleaner than the rest of the bandit-like sects that exploit each other!

They want the people of Chongshu to remember, and the world to remember, that their Divine Machine Pavilion is the true righteous path, until the moment of its destruction, from beginning to end!

……

She Bao was also quite emotional about this, it was not unreasonable for the Shenji Pavilion to survive in the original book.

But since it is going to be a big thing, sacrifice is inevitable, and he is already on the opposite side, She Bao will not give the enemy a way out.

And the Shenji Pavilion has done so much, it may leave a strong mark in history, but at the moment, it just makes all parties laugh.

No one really cares if it's innocent or not.

……

At this time, a sect in Chongshu City had been requisitioned as a temporary command place for the coalition forces of each sect.

This time, including Tianjian Mountain, all the elders and important members of the sect led by the sect were here, and the armies of the various sects had already surrounded the Shenji Pavilion Mountain Gate.

They didn't expect the Shenji Pavilion to be like this, after all, this was no different from giving up resistance.

The reason why it has not been done for a long time is only because this time is different from the sneak attack on the Asking Heart Sect, the Divine Machine Pavilion must have been completely prepared for a long time, and all the sects want to minimize the losses.

It is said that the interests have been clearly divided for a long time.

All the sects obtained in the Shenji Pavilion Mountain Gate were divided equally, while Chongzhou City and the surrounding land were separately owned by Tianjian Mountain.

This was the biggest concession made by the imperial court and Tianjian Mountain to the rest of the sects.

This attack is also the main force of Tianjian Mountain, and the rest of the sects only need to send a certain number of second-rate masters to participate in the battle, and a few first-class masters can sweep the formation.

For the sects, this is almost a bargain.

……

The reason why Tianjian Mountain is so beneficial to the sects is that it is clear that it is impossible to eat alone, and because the rest of the sects know the inside story of this matter, they have the right to pay for hush money.

But the sects are not satisfied with this, after all, the most fundamental thing such as land and population is still monopolized by Tianjian Mountain, and in time, it will completely override the heads of all sects.

It's just that it's cheap, and there is She Leopard's coordination, Tianjian Mountain, and the government's deterrence, but it's not good to say anything......

As for the imperial court and the government, what they asked for was the craftsmen of the Shenji Pavilion and the mining of some minerals, after all, the reason why they supported Tianjian Mountain at the beginning was also that the Shenji Pavilion sold weapons to the imperial court at a high price.

And made it clear that the current number of troops stationed in Chongshu will not increase, and the number of public officials in various government offices in Chongshu will not increase. They have no intention of continuing to increase their control over Joszhou.

This move is also true and relieved the various sects including Tianjian Mountain, after all, this is a matter of position and policy.

And because of the dismissal of the craftsmen, these people have already been in the hands of the imperial court, and they can be regarded as having been achieved.

But Tianjian Mountain disagreed with the government's income, thinking that it was too little!

Tianjianshan took the initiative to express that he hoped that the government would enter or recruit a large number of people, and was willing to let the government gain greater authority in the rivers and lakes of Chongzhou.

Its flattering attitude towards the imperial court can also be seen.

Of course, the other sects didn't know, and this was also the preparation made by Heavenly Sword Mountain after weighing it to improve its overall strength and various considerations in the future.

After all, it is not easy to quickly digest all levels of sects on your own after conquering Xiazhongzhou, but it will be much easier to have the overall deterrence of the government on the side, and the government will definitely not form gangs, at least on the surface.

It is also easy to get rid of in the future, after all, there is always a big gap between the government and the rivers and lakes.

But She Bao refused, saying that the rivers and lakes are calm at present, and he is unwilling to interfere too much, but he is willing to maintain good cooperation with Tianjian Mountain.

……

The court's request has been satisfied, and the reason why She Bao still stays at this time is only to continue to play a role as a link between the sects, and as a third party, similar to a witness, to ensure the income of each sect.

In fact, it's just a mascot-like ornament, which doesn't play a big role, but it's the object of friendship between all parties.

After all, the hard power and deterrence of the imperial court are there, and the public opinion ability shown by the government this time almost made the Shenji Pavilion collapse without a fight and lose the hearts of the people, which shocked the sects.

And the right to speak that She Bao is currently showing can largely represent the attitude of the government.

……

At this time, in this coalition garrison, the elders of the various sects were discussing fiercely, and if the matter they discussed came out, I was afraid that it would make countless people's jaws drop.

They were discussing which sect was responsible for She Bao's safety! Of course, it won't be everyone in a sect, but only some masters.

All sects agreed that once the war started, the people here, as top masters, would inevitably go to war, and at this time, the safety of She Bao might be in question.

Even if it's okay, all sects are willing and need to put on such a friendly attitude.

Of course, in the final analysis, the word "interests" cannot be escaped.

In this discussion, Tianjian Mountain is the most happy, but the discussion is a discussion, and the final decision is in the hands of She Bao.

She Bao finally decided that his safety this time was in charge of the master of Jingyue Tower, and this time the leader of Jingyue Tower was Xu Ru.

Xu Ru hated She Leopard and wanted to die, it was good not to assassinate, so naturally he was unwilling to protect him personally, so he only planned to send someone to perfunctory.

But not long after she returned to her room after the discussion, she saw She Bao also walk in on the pretext of discussing the choice of a guard.

In his hand he was holding a black lacquered object with metal, ceramic, and some sort of glass casing......
