"What? It's not enough to kidnap a Jiang Ru, do you still want to take Jing Shi into your pocket? Liang Tao asked.

Zhao Xiao looked at the sparkling rivers in the distance, a few white sails dotted and swaying, he smiled and shook his head: "Who am I, others don't know, isn't it clear to the national teacher?" I don't value the pleasure of ordinary people. ”

Liang Tao said: "Now I don't dare to say that I know you well." ”

"Why did the National Teacher say this?" Zhao Xiao sat with his sleeves brushed up, and Jiang Ru brought all kinds of tea sets on the side, fiddling with them carefully.

"You are the successor of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Official, and you have the help of heaven and earth to help you and praise your achievements." Liang Tao said: "The Southern Earth Demon God recruited the stars, but you were easily forced to retreat, I don't think I have the ability." ”

"The National Teacher has the magic power of the immortal family to move mountains and reclaim the sea, why should he be humble?" Zhao Xiao waved his hand and said: "As for the reversal of the star, isn't it precisely because of the National Teacher's dedication to the ground and mediation of creation?" I'm just borrowing the merits of the national teacher, the fox and the tiger. If anyone doesn't understand this, they are blind and ignorant, and it's really not worth it. ”

"Wise people don't speak secret words." Liang Tao was not flattered and rejoiced: "How much do you understand what I want to do?" ”

Zhao Huang Zhengse said: "Through the Dongtian Cloud Seal, change the number of earth veins, and at the same time borrow the ritual and ritual of my praise official, and shake the discipline and law left by the Tianxia Dynasty from the inside out, right?" ”

Liang Tao nodded slightly: "Yes, saying this, it can be seen that you have indeed comprehended the mystery." It's just that I'm curious, since you are the descendant of the Tianxia Dynasty's praise official, aren't you angry if I do this? ”

"Why be angry?" Zhao Huang asked rhetorically: "Master Guoshi, are you making a mistake?" I am the successor of the Praise Official, but it doesn't mean that I want to restore the Tianxia Dynasty. When I was born, how many years had it been since the Tianxia Dynasty had fallen? ”

Liang Tao said seriously: "You know that I am not talking about the Tianxia Dynasty. ”

"Oh, you mean the discipline set by the Celebrants?" Zhao Xiao smiled and asked, "How many praise officials are there in this world today?" With me as a successor, can I still hope to revive the old days? I'm not stupid enough to do that.

The rise and fall of existence is a physical condition, and what should die will not continue because of the efforts to retain it. Besides, the discipline and discipline set by the celebrant have long since decayed. If it's really indestructible, it's not my turn to destroy it! ”

Liang Tao's expression was subtle: "I thought you would look forward to restoring the past glory of the Praise Officer." ”

Zhao Xiao thought for a while and said, "If it was before, I really had this idea. However, during those days at Pujiaguan, I suddenly realized that it was far from enough to rely on rituals and rituals. ”

"If others hear this, they will probably think that you are arrogant and arrogant, but they want to pretend to be pretending." Liang Tao smiled.

Zhao Huang asked: "Master Guoshi, do you know that I deal with official business every day in Pujiaguan, what do I face the most?" ”

"It's nothing more than food and military supplies."

"Almost." Zhao Xiao sighed: "To be more precise, it is countless account books and official documents. When will the rear rations be delivered every day? How much is left to be transported to the front? In order to ensure the smooth flow of grain routes, should a transit warehouse station be built in the newly occupied land?

If you want to build a new storage dock fort, it is inevitable to requisition the people in the local area, so as to appease the people, you must not let the soldiers plunder...... You see, which of these things can be solved with rituals? ”

Liang Tao didn't answer, and Zhao Xiao continued as if complaining: "What's more, there are more sorcerers in the Tianxia Dynasty, such as the curse forbidden life, the secret blessing official, the candidate master, and the Kanyu master...... And it's not just the celebrants. If I can really do it alone, will I have to wait until today?

The layman didn't understand, I didn't understand it before, I really thought that the Tianxia Dynasty would be able to run amok with this group of magicians. However, when he was personally in charge of the ruling side, he realized that countless people needed to participate in the major affairs of the military state, and everyone had to perform their own duties.

Behind those seemingly beautiful monks and magicians, officials of all sizes have to dispatch manpower and material resources, and tens of millions of people have to work and support. ”

Zhao Xiao's words were not entirely to complain, he obviously noticed that Liang Tao was suspicious of himself, why it was difficult to understand for a while, maybe it was the swordsman who came to rescue him, or maybe it was the more the Dao Kingdom in the world became more and more eyebrow-like, and the deeper Liang Tao's defense of Zhao Huang became. Expressing some of his true feelings may allow Liang Tao to avoid some suspicions.

After hearing this, Liang Tao said lightly: "Of course, the rituals are not omnipotent, and those mundane affairs are naturally taken care of by others, and you are the one who takes care of the affairs yourself." ”

"Secular...... The words of the National Teacher are really fluttering. Zhao Xiao sighed: "I want to ask, in the future, will the Dao Kingdom be in the cave of the world, or in the world of sound and food?" ”

Liang Tao smiled slightly: "Both in heaven and on earth." ”

"Master Guoshi, I'm not talking to you about any mysteries. Everything is implemented, and it is always up to people to do it. ”

Zhao Xiao raised his forehead and scolded angrily, he had to pretend to be heartbroken, showing his importance to the Dao Kingdom of the World, so that Liang Tao thought that Zhao Xiao really regarded the Dao Kingdom of the World as his career.

"If you envision the future of the Dao Kingdom of the Human World now, will you be a little anxious?" Liang Tao asked rhetorically.

Zhao Xiao was so anxious that he knocked on the table: "How can I not be in a hurry?" After the autumn harvest of the villagers, they will still consider preparing enough grain for the next year's sowing and green and yellow crops. ”

"Then tell me what you need to prepare." Liang Tao was not in a hurry, picked up the fragrant tea offered by Jiang Ru, and sat down to taste it.

Zhao Huang got up and said: "The major affairs of the country are in Rong. You have hussar generals in Chongxuanguan, and I don't need to say much about military affairs. It's a sacrifice, who will the Taoist kingdom in the world worship? Is Qingya Zhenjun? ”

Liang Tao suddenly asked, "Can't it be me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ru next to him made a move, almost knocking over the tea set. Zhao Xiao glanced at her, and said without changing his face: "Master Guoshi, I take the liberty of saying that I have always sacrificed and put the ancestors of heaven and earth first. Heaven and earth have the power of covering and cultivating, and the ancestors have the grace of life and karma.

You are only the descendant of Qingya Zhenjun, and you should not trespass. Moreover, you worship Qingya Zhenjun in Chongxuanguan because you are blessed by his preaching and teaching, but other people in the world have nothing to do with it. Arbitrarily setting up sacrifices is not in accordance with the law of etiquette. This is not only an offense to the True Monarch of Qingya, but it is also not beneficial to the Dao Kingdom of the world. ”

"And what are your plans?" Liang Tao asked: "Is it possible to sacrifice the emperor and queen of heaven in the Dao country of the world?" ”

"Why not?" Zhao Xiao said with a smile.

"So you want to do the dove to occupy the magpie's nest." Liang Tao laughed: "You want to use the Dao Kingdom of the World as food for the revitalization of discipline?" That's a lot of ambition! ”

Zhao Xiao was silent for a while, and now he has long since abandoned this delusion, saying this is actually to mislead Liang Tao's view of himself.

"If the emperor can't do it, then take heaven and earth as the name." Zhao Xiao said: "Don't shape the statue of the gods, don't set up tablets, burn the table to sacrifice to the sky, and bury the simple ceremony." That's all right, right? All rituals can be rearranged according to the lineage inheritance of Chongxuankan. And in addition to the main worship of heaven and earth, there is also the position of attachment, Qingya Zhenjun can be among them, and the national teacher is close behind, how about it? ”

Liang Tao put down the cup and looked serious: "Zhao Xiao, that's how you repay me?" ”

Zhao Xiao took half a step back, as if he was frightened: "Master Guoshi, I am wholeheartedly thinking about the big plan!" ”

"I know." Liang Tao suddenly smiled: "But I always feel that you are playing some scheming." ”

Of course, Zhao Xiao was playing tricks, but even if he was broken, he was not in a hurry, and retorted: "What scheming? If planning for your future is also scheming, who else in the world is not scheming?

Master Guoshi, do you know that once the Dao Kingdom of the world begins, there will be no way out, no matter how you explain it, there will definitely be a big chaos in Huaxu's country. At this time, outsiders still don't know about you and me, but in the future, things will be made public, you are not afraid of others looking for trouble, but I am afraid! ”

I can't find the slightest problem with this, and it is also one of Zhao Xiao's current concerns. He assisted Liang Tao in promoting the Dao Kingdom in the world, and those who had a grudge against Liang Tao might not be able to retaliate against him, but they could attack Zhao Xiao.

"You don't have to complain to me." Liang Tao said bluntly: "The elders of the Wang and Chu families are eager to tear you to pieces." If it weren't for me, do you think you would still be able to enjoy the blessings of this place? ”

"Could it be Chu Shizhong?" Zhao Huang knew very well that his behavior in Qingyan County had dealt a big blow to the local forces of Chongxuan Pavilion, and it would definitely cause retaliation. It's just that Zhao Xiao also relied on his relationship with Liang Tao and did things without scruples.

Later, Liang Tao asked Liang Hui to send a pot of flowers, a four-stamen, and Zhao Xiao cut off three of the flowers, which was intended to imply that Liang Tao's Chongxuan Pavilion was dominated by the Yongjia Liang family, and the other three were eaten and swallowed.

Now the children of the Chu family in Chongxuanguan regard Chu Fenggui as the head of the family, and if cultivation is mana, he will definitely not be able to compare with Liang Tao. However, among the four surnames of the immortal lineage, the Chu family is the most prosperous, and there are even several branches, such as the Yi'an Chu family, the Yuepu Chu family, the Tanyan Chu family, etc., so that the children of Chongxuanguan are appointed as local officials, and most of them are from the Chu family.

Chongxuan Pavilion is indeed a large number of people, but it is by no means monolithic. It's just that Yongjia Liang's martial arts are the most prosperous, there is Liang Tao in the court, and Liang Leopard in the border pass, so naturally everything is respected by the Liang family.

The interests of the four surnames of the immortal family are the same, and they are safe with each other. But what if there is a conflict between them?

Zhao Xiao found that the matter of the Dao Kingdom in the world, the other three families of the four surnames of the immortal family may not be clear. And Yongjia Liang's family seems to be respected, but most of the hands are restrained in the flood rejection pass, even if Liang Tao has skills, he can't do everything, and many things have to be done by the people below.

In order to gain the support of the other three families, Liang Tao indulged the children of the three surnames in the local area, and protected them with the authority of the national teacher in the court.

Zhao Xiao suddenly remembered that when he was in Quartz City, Liang Tao found more than a dozen jars of Taihuang decoction jade brew in Chu Mengchun's manor, this precious elixir, Chu Mengchun only sent one altar to Dilung Mountain every year, and even Liang Tao shouted greed.

It is conceivable that the children of the other three families also have their own interests, and they are not exactly like Yongjia Liang's confession. And even if he is as powerful and profound as Liang Tao, he can't control the overall situation.

From Dongshengdu to Qingyan County, on the surface, the lord of the country used Zhao Huang to suppress Chongxuanguan, but Liang Tao was also using Zhao Huang to suppress the other three. Now that the Zheng clan of Jiujiang has fallen, Liang Tao did not choose to protect the Zheng clan to the death, how will the Wang and Chu families deal with themselves? Will you rely on Liang Tao everywhere?

But what Liang Tao wants to do cannot be done alone. The blessed land mandalas distributed throughout Huaxu Country must be supported by the children of Chongxuan Pavilion no matter what, and the Yongjia Liang clan is short of manpower, so it is necessary to use the other three, and it is impossible to completely tear their faces with them.

Similarly, the other three surnames did not dare to fight to the death with Liang Tao, but this did not prevent them from using all kinds of means to prevaricate and shirk their responsibilities, and force Liang Tao to make some concessions, which is still a way.

Therefore, a few days ago, it was not others who participated in the impeachment of Zhao Huang in the imperial court, but a group of officials led by Chu Fenggui in the service, and their actions actually meant to test Liang Tao.

Zhao Xiao also felt ridiculous, in the matter of the Dao Kingdom of the World, on the surface, the entire Chongxuan Pavilion could obtain huge benefits. But after careful study, the original pattern of the four families with the surname of Immortal Blood Yin will immediately transform into the exclusive family of Liang Tao and Yongjia Liang, completely subduing the other three.

This is not to say that the other three have nothing to gain, but that people may not give up the benefits they already have in front of them compared to the greater opportunities in the future. What's more, even in the eyes of other monks, the Dao Kingdom in the world is almost whimsical, even if Zhao Huang relies on the official family of Zanli, he is also half-convinced, and others in the Chongxuan Pavilion may not believe that Liang Tao can do it.

"Big families also have the difficulties of big families." Liang Tao sighed: "Although Qingya Zhenjun is an immortal ancestor with four surnames, the Liang family has declined in the early years. And as time goes by, the old friendship is not as good as the calculation of interests. You should now understand why I can't be in the position of a servant. If the name is not right, the words are not good, and you know better than me about etiquette. ”

"Do you have to put yourself in the position of lord?" Zhao Xiao asked again.

"Not bad." Liang Tao nodded, his tone unquestionable.

Zhao Xiao still persuaded: "Do you know how much is involved? I know you're cultivating profoundly, but this kind of thing is no joke! Once you ascend to that position, the people's faith will roll in, can you bear it? You should have seen the big snake that appeared in Pujia Pass, and that is the end of being dyed by faith! You are a master of the immortal family, you should be pursuing free and detached, why bother to sink into it? ”

Liang Tao raised his eyebrows lightly: "Do you think I'm not as good as that big snake?" ”

Zhao Xiao didn't answer, and Liang Tao said: "The ghost candle is just a Feng Fu Ten Witch constructed out of thin air, forcibly dyeing the innate sacred, so that it has a unique spiritual vision, where can it compare to the true spirit of the immortal family that has been condensed for a long time?" You haven't reached the realm yet, so it's better not to be smart. ”

In fact, Zhao Xiao's persuasion was not entirely to cover up, he did try to persuade Liang Tao to give up the Dao Kingdom of the world, rather than the chaos in the end, if Liang Tao is willing to take the initiative to retreat, it will be the luck of countless living beings.

However, Liang Tao's grand ambition can not be moved, how can Zhao Xiao be able to say a few words?
