"You mean, Zhao Huang opened the altar in Lingtai Ruins to eliminate the disaster for the Red Cloud Capital?"

He Qingchen sat in the carriage, and after listening to Qian Shaobai's relay, his face did not show joy and anger, but he pondered for a long time.

"When I went to inquire about Zhao Xiao, he did not hide it and told the truth about it." Qian Shaobai said: "Zhao Xiao explained that Chiyun didn't believe in Xiong Guo and Uncle Shi, so he made his own decision and released his goodwill first. ”

"He did take matters into his own hands." He Qingchen put down the official document in his hand: "I vaguely sensed that there was a commotion in the southeast before, so I don't know what the current situation of the Chiyun Capital realm is?" ”

Qian Shaobai replied: "Several successive rains have greatly alleviated the drought, and the vitality of the plants and trees has been restored. ”

He Qingchen's expression was slightly solemn: "In this way, this year, Chiyun should be able to raise grain and grass on his own?" Good Zhao Xiao, are you worried that I will take advantage of others? ”

"Could it be that Zhao Xiao and Chiyun are both old? So go out of your way to help them? Qian Shaobai asked curiously.

He Qingchen asked rhetorically, as if he was taking the examination school: "What do you think?" ”

"I think there is." Qian Shaobai said while thinking: "Zhao Xiao seems to be a person who cultivates immortals, but in his bones he still attaches great importance to the inheritance of the praise official, and the heart of the people will not change because of a temporary setback."

As for Chiyundu, judging from the disciple's investigation during these days, even though he was burdened by the catastrophe, he was still able to share weal and woe with the people. Such people appreciate each other, and the disciples find it not strange. ”

"The connection between Zhao Xiao and Chiyundu may be earlier than you think." He Qingchen said: "Although there is no clear evidence at present, I suspect that Zhang Duanjing, the former head of the Huaiying Pavilion, and Chiyundu have been secretly in contact for a long time. Back then, Chiyun forged the Excalibur in Starfall County, have you heard of it? ”

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

"It is rumored that it is this divine sword that caused the drastic changes in Dongshengdu." He Qingchen said with a smile: "And the person who held the divine sword to kill the immortal family back then happened to be Zhang Duanjing. ”

"This ......" Qian Shaobai is speechless.

He Qingchen continued: "Master once said that that divine sword has the power to kill immortals and gods, and it is very supportable. With Chiyundu alone, I don't think it can be refined, and what other calculations are in it, non-outsiders can know everything, but I guess it has something to do with the ritual and ritual of the Praise Official. ”

"No wonder." Qian Shaobai nodded again and again.

"Zhao Xiao will help Chiyundu, I expected, but to help this part, it is still beyond my original expectations." He Qingchen knocked on a few cases and said: "But in this way, I'm afraid that his identity can't be hidden." ”

Qian Shaobai couldn't help but worry: "Since the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, Zhao Xiao and Liang Tao have been deeply hated by the world, will his identity be exposed, will it damage the prestige of his uncle in the court?" ”

"Hated by the world? You're thinking too much. He Qingchen said: "Hua Xu Guo is jealous of Zhao Xiao, that is because the current ruling Da Sima Luoyi just takes advantage of the chaos to gain authority, so he naturally wants to slander Zhao Huang and Liang Tao and others.

As for the others, those who know Zhao Xiao's identity are already jealous of him, and those who don't know are not worried. I want to use the inheritance of the praise official to assist in the reform of the law, not to praise Zhao Huang as a moral saint, but he thinks too much. ”…

"Uncle Shi doesn't think that Zhao Xiao is too harsh on himself?" Qian Shaobai asked.

"I told him that if I were him, the first thing I would do when I came back to the rivers and lakes would be to go back to Huaxu Kingdom to take revenge. It's a pity that he cowered and never succeeded. He Qingchen said unceremoniously: "What is the current situation of Huaxu Kingdom? As far as Luo Yi and these people are presiding over national affairs, can they govern the country well? At best, it's just the mind and wrist of a county guard! ”

Qian Shaobai knew that He Qingchen was very strict in selecting officials, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "No." ”

"Back then, Chiyun was attached to Huaxu Kingdom, and it was this Luo Yi who proposed to kill on a large scale, thinking that this move could stop the trouble, but I don't know how much trouble it caused to Huaxu Kingdom!" He Qingchen sneered: "It's good now, he took advantage of the chaos to control the government, but Hua Xu Guo also lost half of the country in his hands, isn't it because he thought he was right back then?" ”

"It's really true that it's popular." Qian Shaobai sighed.

"Speaking of bearing the burden, I'm now more worried about the consequences of Zhao Xiao's move to destroy the Lingtai Ruins." He Qingchen scratched his head.

Qian Shaobai hurriedly explained: "Although it was said to be destroyed, I personally went to Lingtai Ruins to explore, and found that it only allowed the blessed land to disperse all its charm, not to shake the mountains, rivers and caves. Today's Lingtai Ruins no longer have a formation prohibition to hide, and they have returned to the appearance of ordinary mountains and forests. ”

He Qingchen said: "One of your granges has been demolished, and the wealth and grain have been looted, what do you think? ”

"Even if it's not a big deal, you have to reason with the other party, right?" Qian Shaobai immediately understood: "Could it be that there will be an immortal family in the lower realm to investigate Zhao Xiao's act of destroying the blessed land?" ”

"I don't dare to talk about the Immortal Family, but I suspect that Zhao Xiao deliberately led the Immortal Family to the lower realm." He Qingchen said.

"Deliberately?" Qian Shaobai couldn't help but be surprised.

He Qingchen sighed lightly: "I probably understand what Zhao Huang thinks in his heart, he borrowed the power of Xiong Guo and Shangjing Sect, not just to avenge the battle of the Lung Mountain in the past, but also to try to redefine the order of immortals. ”

Qian Shaobai's mouth opened slightly, and he asked in astonishment, "Is this ...... Zhao Xiao has not yet achieved the Immortal Dao, is this idea too arrogant? ”

He Qingchen smiled and said, "Do you think only he thinks so?" ”

Qian Shaobai looked at the Lord Zuo Xiang in front of him, thinking of the other party's scheming in the past, and couldn't help but change his expression: "Could it be that you are also Uncle Shi-"

"I'm not alone." He Qingchen interrupted: "After the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, I had a talk with Shizun, in fact, I already felt that Kunlun Continent had been in turmoil for a hundred years, and there were many immortal families behind the scenes. However, after going through so much, most people of insight feel that this kind of mixed situation of immortals and mortals is actually not beneficial to each other. ”

Qian Shaobai asked, "Uncle Shi doesn't want to see the immortal family's nether world?" ”

"This kind of thing is not about whether you want to think about it or not, but whether you can do it, if the immortal family really wants to go to the lower realm, it can't actually be stopped." He Qingchen simply said directly: "I am not Zhao Xiao, I have no bitter hatred for the Immortal Family, in fact, redefining the order of the Immortal Fan is not to prevent the Immortal Family's lower realm." ”

Qian Shaobai said: "I understand, when Uncle Shi wanted to restore the Tianxia Dynasty, the imperial court used the praise officials and discipline to suppress all kinds of immortals and demons. ”…

"The Tianxia Dynasty's attempts can be referred to, but it is not necessary to copy them all." He Qingchen sat a little stuffy, walked out of the carriage to breathe, and raised his eyes to look at the acres of fields built around the lake in the distance.

Listening to He Qingchen continue: "As far as I know, at the beginning of the founding of the Tianxia Dynasty, it received the great help of many immortal families, and the creation of the inheritance of the Praise Ceremony was also closely related to this. The kind of weather back then was not comparable to the four immortal princes of Shangjing Sect.

As for the suppression of immortals and demons in the Tianxia Dynasty, the focus is on eliminating unrighteousness and delusion, rather than finding trouble and abusing authority. Otherwise, where do you think the purpose of praising officials and benefiting people comes from? Could it be that these people are really crazy and will do whatever it takes to make enemies of all kinds of fairies and demons? ”

Qian Shaobai was still puzzled: "But why did those immortal families help the Tianxia Dynasty in the first place?" With the vision of the immortal family, it should be able to foresee that the praise official will be in such a powerful position, but it will be unfavorable to the immortal family. ”

"What do you mean by 'disadvantage'?" He Qingchen asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the authority to control the world has been taken away by mortals?" Not necessarily, if I give up my power to the Heavenly Immortal Family, which one do you think wants it? ”

Qian Shaobai couldn't answer at once, not only because he didn't know much about the heavenly immortal family, but because he was as dusty as He Qingchen, and he was far from the immortal Dao Qingjing, so there was no need for the immortal family to ask for hardship.

He Qingchen said with a smile: "And in the eyes of many people in the past, I was just representing the people who came and went with the world, and my authority was given by the master." If this is the case, then it will never be understood why the Four Immortal Princes retired to the mountain. ”

Qian Shaobai understood: "The benefits sought by the immortal family are different from the ordinary. At that time, all the immortals helped the Tianxia Dynasty, and then the earthly world was stable, and the monks did not have to be distracted by the survival of the day, but could focus on Qing cultivation, and the Xuanmen Immortal Dao also prospered, and each family inherited and prospered.

And the Tianxia Dynasty set up a praise officer to crusade against the unrighteous and evil, which is the most able to correct the style and discipline, and it is actually very beneficial to the inheritance of the immortal families of all factions. ”

He Qingchen lowered his voice: "Even from the most utilitarian point of view, the praise official exterminated the demons and evil spirits, cut down the mountains and destroyed the temple, and also undertook countless sinister battles for the Xuanmen Immortal Dao family traditions. Even if it incurs hatred and revenge, it will not be able to find the head of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao. ”

Qian Shaobai was silent, he knew that the retreat of the Four Immortal Princes also had similar plans, and He Qingchen reused Zhao Xiao, obviously to let him deal with all kinds of dangers, and Shangjing Sect could also retreat.

For the Shangjing Sect, the continuation of the inheritance is the first priority, and if the prestige of the earthly position of power may endanger the inheritance itself, then no matter how great the benefits are, they must be given up as soon as possible.

"It's just that in this way, Zhao Xiao's responsibility is probably not only the position of the chief of the Zanli Division." Qian Shaobai muttered.

"You're worried about him?" He Qingchen crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked calm: "People like Zhao Xiao, if they don't have any commitment, they will only become aimless and confused." However, he took the initiative to destroy the dojo blessed land of Xuanpu Hall this time, but it made me feel better. Maybe it's time for him to face the immortal family and test his quality. ”

Qian Shaobai asked, "Uncle Shi is not afraid that the Immortal Family's Nether Realm will directly attack Zhao Xiao?" ”

"You are also an immortal cultivator, how can you think of the immortal family like that?" He Qingchen reprimanded: "It seems that you have also been rolling in the world for a long time, and you have been contaminated with some bad habits. ”…

Qian Shaobai showed a look of shame: "It's just that I heard the head of the sect say that Xuanju is the lower realm of immortals, and there were a lot of killings back then." ”

"There are actually not many people killed by Xuan Ju himself, but Xuan Ming Kingdom has invaded with a large number of troops, and many people have been slaughtered everywhere he passes, even if this is not Xuan Ju himself, it still can't get out of it." He Qingchen snorted coldly:

"That's why there will be a battle to slay the dragon, and all parties will work together to kill him. That East China Sea Sword Immortal Hongxue Ke was somehow implicated with the Canghua Heavenly Monarch who appeared at the end of the battle of Earth Lung Mountain. To put it bluntly, Xuan Ju acted recklessly, causing anger and resentment, and finally deserved to be cut. ”

"What about Canghua Heavenly Monarch?" Qian Shaobai asked again.

He Qingchen shook his head and said: "Anyway, I haven't heard much about the bad deeds, besides, this immortal family was beheaded by Zhang Duanjing, who knows what grievances there are between them?" However, this can also prove that even if the immortal family is in the lower realm, if it acts arbitrarily, it will be self-inflicted trouble after all.

The immortal family has been looking at it for a long time, and the burden is even more popular, and many subtle qi numbers are implicated, and it is not something that ordinary people like you and me can explain. If you want to be untainted, you either have to keep the cave heaven and not the lower realm, or don't show yourself as an immortal. ”

"So Uncle Shi wants to redefine the order of immortals." Qian Shaobai is clear.

"It's not something I can decide on my own." He Qingchen looked up at the sky: "Actually, I guess that the immortals in the sky are not all willing to get involved in the world. However, my identity is too widely implicated, and the immortal family is not happy to see me. ”

This was something that Qian Shaobai did not expect, he originally felt that with the respect of the left minister of the bear country, he should be favored by the immortal family.

"Then what should be done with Chiyun next?" Qian Shaobai asked instead.

"Don't always ask me what you think?" He Qingchen knew that Han Yuanzi intended to cultivate Qian Shaobai, and he might be in charge of Shangjing Sect in the future. Even if Shangjingzong doesn't have to set foot too deep in the world in the future, he can't be ignorant of the affairs of the government and the opposition.

Qian Shaobai pondered for a moment, and saw many carriages escorting soldiers and armor passing by on the official road on the side, so he said: "Zhao Huang ascended the altar to practice the law and eliminate the drought, although the Chiyun capital has solved the urgent need, but the situation of lack of soldiers and armor has not been solved.

Moreover, Hua Xu Guo must have sensed the situation in Chiyundu, and it was impossible for them to take advantage of the opportunity to grow, and it was likely that they would gather troops and horses as soon as possible and launch a round of onslaught to break the current deadlock. It is best to capture the several large cities controlled by Chiyundu and force Chiyundu to scatter in the countryside. ”

"Chiyun would not have been unaware of this situation." He Qingchen said.

"That's right, they're going to take precautions." Qian Shaobai continued to deduce: "However, if Hua Xu Guo wants to prevent Chiyun from continuing to grow, he must launch a fierce enough offensive, otherwise it will be difficult to have a chance in the future." In recent years, Huaxu has recruited many monks from the East China Sea, many of whom have been cultivating for many years and have profound mana. ”

"If the monks brought in from overseas can't be allowed heavy profits, I'm afraid they can't risk attacking them." He Qingchen said.

"So it's all or nothing." Qian Shaobai held his chin and said: "I didn't expect Zhao Xiao's move to force Hua Xuguo to have no way out, is this also what he expected?" ”

"It's a person who has experienced battlefield fighting, and he can always see the direction of the situation." He Qingchen showed a relieved expression, and he didn't know who he was looking at: "Then what's next?" What should Chiyundu do? ”

Qian Shaobai was silent for a moment: "Although there are three elders in Chiyundu, and there are many disciples, but in the face of Hua Xuguo's sudden attack, I am afraid that I will be caught off guard." Unless there is strong foreign aid, Zhao Huang will not be able to avoid it at that time, and he must stand up for Chiyundu. ”
