From south to north, the entire rivers and lakes were lively after the main force of Jinyiwei traveled south, and at this time, Lu Hanjiang could probably guess that this time the fall of the Lingyue Clan was probably also a little bit of a diversion from the mountain.

However, the situation so far has not reached the point of being out of control for him at all.

If you push the time forward by more than ten years, during the period when Old Man Meng was in power, this kind of chaos in the rivers and lakes would never be allowed.

Meng Yuan's attitude towards the rivers and lakes is to boil frogs in warm water and cut meat with a blunt knife, he will not take the initiative to provoke disputes, nor will he allow multiple chaos to occur on the rivers and lakes at the same time.

The old man will control all the chaos within an acceptable threshold, so as to achieve the effect that he will weaken the power of the rivers and lakes, but will not cause a backlash from the other party.

The effect of Meng Yuan's approach was immediate, and in the past ten years or so that he chose to "seek stability", the rivers and lakes have also completed the alternation of two generations.

However, it can be seen with the naked eye that the new generation of Jianghu knights, whether it is the seven sons of Wudang, or the three heroes of Qingcheng, or the masters of the Wuyue Sword School, have not been able to inherit the style of their predecessors at all.

As the pressure brought by Jinyiwei becomes heavier and heavier, the rivers and lakes will sooner or later be forced to get used to the control of the imperial court, and on that day, the so-called chivalrous people, that is, they have completely lost the soil for survival, and the world can be determined.

This is a long and steady set of guidelines, and when Meng Yuan was in power, he basically defeated the emerging Jianghu sects one by one.

Even if there is no way to deal with the older generation, if the younger generation can be turned into waste, then the influence of the Jianghu sect can also be weakened, this is the old man's approach.

But in the Lu Hanjiang period, everything was different, he completely abandoned Meng Yuan's high-pressure policy and completely loosened the shackles on the rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes that have lost their shackles have broken out several times one after another, although Jinyiwei has indeed weakened the influence of many sects, but the truth of heroes in troubled times is applicable everywhere.

The change in the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes has also made the chivalrous people who were already close to the backwaters of a lake begin to appear one after another super-standard talents.

For the Jianghu sect, the important thing is not the gains and losses of one city and one place, but the inheritance of the master, and what they need is talents.

The successive blows have greatly damaged the vitality of the rivers and lakes, but a number of incredible characters have also emerged, and even some are still a little immature, but it is not difficult to see that the future achievements will be extraordinary.

But despite this, the chaos on the rivers and lakes still failed to make Lu Hanjiang feel anything, and the reason for this was that his views on the rivers and lakes were different from Meng Yuan's.

The chaotic rivers and lakes were originally what Lu Hanjiang was pursuing, although because of the limitations of his forces, he was bound to be unable to cover all aspects of the three chaotic battles that broke out one after another, but this did not prevent him from being happy to see the situation develop in this direction.

If there is one thing that makes him feel a little caught off guard, it has to be that in the midst of this chaos, someone has come out to add fuel to the fire.

Needless to say, this kind of thing will come out to cause chaos for Jinyiwei, naturally only the East Palace, whether the chaos in Shaolin in the north and south has anything to do with the crown princess I don't know for the time being, but now this incident that shook the rivers and lakes is completely her handiwork.

The crown princess played another card she was hiding, the Gongsun family.

At the same time when Shaolin in the north and south was attacked, and the wind in the north was loud, the Gongsun family suddenly changed to the normal state of watching from the wall, and issued a high-profile heroic post, pointing directly at the Wudang faction.

The identity of the sword demon was exposed to them in plain sight, which became the most powerful statement for them to denounce Wudang this time.

After this incident broke out, the world was in an uproar, and Lu Hanjiang almost immediately summoned his Jinyi guards to discuss the matter.

The focus of the discussion is nothing more than two points, one is whether this matter should be dealt with, and the other is -

"How did they know the identity of the Sword Demon?" Lu Hanjiang asked the most critical question.

Chi Qianyun's martial arts are obvious to all, and he can make an unknown pawn grow to a height that is enough to fight with the head of Wuyue in just half a year, and no one will doubt the power of the three swords of the Heavenly Dao.

This also leads to the fact that the existence of Chi Qianyun, a sword demon, is almost flawless, because most of the people who have seen her true face are dead.

When investigating this matter at the beginning, Lu Hanjiang entrusted Dongfang Kite to take action, and joined forces with the Yuwen family to investigate for a month, but there was still no gain, which shows that the other party not only has high martial arts, but also never shows his head and tail.

In this case, it seems that the crown princess has no way to know Chi Qianyun's identity.

After listening to Lu Hanjiang's question, the brocade guards below frowned, and after a while, Cui Yixiao suddenly said loudly: "My lord, the identity of the sword demon, besides us, there is one other person who knows. ”

Lu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped a finger on the table regularly: "You mean, Li Yan?" ”

"Yes," Cui Yi replied, "Before this person was taken out by the righteous path, we told him the truth about the Sword Demon, and we originally planned to use it to uncover this matter, but because Shangyangzi came and quickly provoked a dispute with the Xuantian Sect, this plan was shelved. ”

Cui Yixiao explained clearly, indeed, except for the possibility that the crown princess could predict the prophet, the only person who could reveal the identity of the sword demon Chi Qianyun was this Li Yan.

And this may not be low, because Li Yan's death was not the handiwork of Jinyiwei, and it was not even the black hand of the Xuantian Sect, so far, it is still a mystery who killed this protector.

However, after Cui Yixiao's reminder, Lu Hanjiang finally remembered this matter, and basically linked the matter of the sword demon to Li Yan in his heart, but this time, he didn't care a little.

It's good to have traces to follow, his depression mainly comes from the princess's "flash of inspiration", this kind of decision from intuition is impossible to prevent at all, and it can't be predicted, which is equivalent to being passively accepted.

Both of them are characters who don't play cards according to routines, but compared to themselves, the princess's kind of play that dares to press the hole cards just by guessing still costs more.

"My lord, counting the move of the Gongsun family, now that the rivers and lakes are in war on all sides, how should we act?" Yan Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Wudang, Xuantian Sect, Shaolin in the north and south, it's all very troublesome."

Lu Hanjiang was a little troubled, these four are not simple goods, and now the mobile forces that Jinyiwei can mobilize are quite limited, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, even if Wu Qiming is counted, at most he can only deal with two at the same time.

Jin Yiwei dealt with one family, and Lu Hanjiang dealt with one by himself.

But this is the most extreme approach, in fact, in Lu Hanjiang's conception, his commander will not move in the early stage this time, and in turn, let the Jinyi Guard make efforts to the four families, see which side has a sign, and then rush forward as a general reserve.

The power of the crown princess is not as good as that of Jinyiwei, so even Jinyiwei can't deal with the four top sects at the same time, and it is even more impossible for the East Palace.

Therefore, among the four families, only one side should be the main target of the East Palace, and what Lu Hanjiang has to do is to find the thread in the mess, and then deal a fatal blow.
