In the dim and gloomy underground secret room, Duanmu Shuliang paused and continued to introduce the situation of the secret guard organizations of various countries:

"Actually, as far as I know, at the time of the battle when Wu captured Yingdu, the spy agency 'Yunmeng Palace' of Chu had already collapsed. The two leaders of the Upper Six Qi Realm, who had already fused ten thousand laws and penetrated the four heavens and earth, chose to die and die for the country. ”

"Later, although the 'Yunmeng Palace' was rebuilt, its strength was far less than it was at the beginning, and in the end, it was only by cooperating with the 'Taiyimen', the ancient sect with the longest inheritance in Chudi, that it was able to recover half of its original strength."

The leaders of the Cloud Dream Palace and the Upper Six Qi Realm sounded very powerful, but they were still destroyed in the hands of the Wu Kingdom.

'Taiyimen', the sect of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi? Is the Eastern Emperor Taiyi mentioned in Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs"? For some reason, it feels like the water is very deep.

Zhao Qing blinked, thinking in his heart.

In other words, the range of Yunmeng Daze should be more than 50,000 li, which is much larger than the Pacific Ocean. Later, when I have time, I have to go and see it.

After introducing the state of Chu, Duanmu Shuliang continued:

"The 'Yan Zijun' of Qi is a spy organization founded by Qi Xiang Yanying, and has made many achievements. But after Yan Zi's death, in the hands of his son Yan Yu, the 'Yan Zijun' collapsed, and he was completely unable to suppress the expansion of his domestic beggar forces. ”

Not only could it not restrain the expansion of the Tian clan's power, but later there was a major event of the Tian clan's dynasty.

Zhao Qing rubbed the hair on both sides of his cheeks, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"The 'Xuanniaowei' and 'Youdutai' of the Qin State are also said to have strong strength, but they were firmly blocked by the stronger Jin State, and their penetration into the Central Plains was very small."

Historical Records. Qin Benji recorded: "The eggs of the Xuanniao fell and the female cultivators swallowed them, giving birth to children." "Xuanniao should be an important belief in the Qin State. However, is it reasonable for the two organizations to run in parallel?

After Zheng Dan woke up and looked at the gold leaf for a while, he closed his eyes again groggyly, this time he really fell asleep.

Zhao Qing picked her up and put her on the soft bed beside her, and the right hand that conveyed the internal force was changed from the back to the front chest.

"Zigong, the head of our Duanmu family, once said that looking at the spy organizations of various countries, supported by a strong leader, they will be very strong and effective in the early stage, but they may decline rapidly in the later stage."

"There is a saying in "Zhou Yi", 'Kanglong has regrets, and the profit cannot last long', 'the moon is full of losses, and the water is full'. Many things are not sustained for long after they have reached their peak. ”

"'Hongshang Sword Guard' is such an organization established by Wu Zixu, and under the leadership of Wu Zixu, it is extremely powerful. It is said that every step of their walk was carefully planned by Wu Zixu. ”

"However, with the passage of time, the size of the 'Hongshang Sword Guard' has expanded several times, and Wu Zixu can no longer grasp the movements of everyone inside, so he can only let go of the constraints on them. As a result, there are signs of decline. ”

"In order to maintain its vitality, the 'Hongshang Sword Guard' adopts a progressive approach and has an extremely strict reward and punishment system. When it was founded, it did play a pretty positive role,"

"But now, those 'Hongshang Sword Masters' who are deeply affected by the 'Way of Trickery' are very few who are willing to share the credit with others. Except for the prohibition of killing their colleagues, there was nothing they did not dare to violate in private. ”

Duanmu Shuliang finally concluded: "Today, the secret guard of the Wu State still maintains the strength of the world's number one spy guard, entirely because several other major powers are more unbearable. ”

"So, is it very unlikely that the swordsman who attacked us today will invite other colleagues in the vicinity to join him?" Zhao Qing asked.

"That's right. Not to mention, the closest colleague is only a thousand miles away, and it is very likely that he will lose our trace during the time he goes to find it. Duanmu Shuliang replied.

Zhao Qing nodded: "Then how should we deal with it next?" ”

"While going out of the city in batches, I asked for help from the neighboring big cities."

Duanmu Shuliang added: "Originally, Dr. Fan meant that he suspected that there were Wu Guo's spies among the high-level people in the country, so he asked Miss Zheng and her sister to separate into two ways, and he personally escorted one person, and let our Duanmu family secretly escort the other person. ”

"But now that we encounter such a dangerous situation, we still have to ask for help from the surrounding forces, even if there are really spies, they won't blatantly do it."

"Going out of the city in batches, is it to let Miss Zheng change into a convoy, one true and one false, so that the enemy can't tell the difference?"

Zhao Qing asked, it seemed that Duanmu Shuliang meant that he wanted to join the real team by himself. In that case, you need to think about it.

"That's right. Miss Zhao, would you like to help out at this critical moment and join this escort? ”

Duanmu Shuliang's expression was solemn: "Tomorrow night at the latest, we will leave for us." Before that, if you make a decision, you can tell me, and the Duanmu family will be grateful. ”

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhao Qing nodded, although he said that the Hongshang Sword Master almost injured his life, such a big revenge must be avenged, but he was not in a hurry.

On the contrary, the safety of the mother is much more important. Now, the mother and the ape are staying in the Duanmu family's hostel in the city, so they shouldn't have decided to go out on an adventure at will.

In fact, there is a strange thing, why the cooperation between the Duanmu family and the Yue Kingdom seems to be quite deep, unlike the simple relationship between merchants and customers.

Considering that this might involve some secrets, Zhao Qing did not ask.

……

Next, Zhao Qing learned a lot of news from Duanmu Shuliang about the confrontation between the countries.

Those who can participate in the war between countries will naturally not only be the masters of the Six Qi Realm, but also Yang Jin Dacheng, Hua Jin, Gang Jin, Shen Jin, and Qi Refiners of the same level can all come in handy.

The army will use one or several sacrificial objects, such as the ancient divine soldiers that have been passed down for a long time in the commander's family, or the Dingqi vessel that symbolizes status, in order to carry and entrust the spirit of the soldiers in the army, forming a huge military soul field.

Within this realm, the entire army can get a huge bonus, merging their strength into one, so as to fight against high-level cultivators.

The chariot is an important external node that constitutes the field. Relying on the resonance of the Divine Yuan Stone in the car, the power of the cultivators in the surrounding area was suppressed, and the power of the military array was exerted to the extreme.

Of course, there is also a difference between chariots and chariots, with advanced technology and equipment, and elite soldiers, it is completely possible to win more with less; At the same time, the top army commanders also had a great influence, and the battle of Baiju between Wu and Chu was the best example.

In Zhao Qing's understanding, the military soul realm is equivalent to concentrating the power of low-level cultivators, and then exerting it efficiently in the hands of high-level cultivators; The chariot suppressing the cultivator is equivalent to relying on the military formation to snatch away the heaven and earth vitality that the other party originally controlled.

The country with 100,000 chariots is the great power of the world, and there are five in total, namely Jin, Wu, Chu, Qi, and Qin; The countries that have the 10,000-ride chariot are medium-sized powers, such as the Song, Wei, Lu, Yue, Yan, Zheng and other countries;

Countries with thousand-ride chariots are called small countries, such as Chen, Cai, Cao, Ju, Xue, Tan and other countries; Those who do not even have a thousand chariots, such as Qi, Pi, Teng, and Ren, are the weakest countries and can only rely on other powerful countries.

Thinking about the situation between countries, Zhao Qing recalled the battle of Wu Yue and Li that had been screened without words before, and his heart was full of ambition.

One sword breaks through the army of 100,000 times, and single-handedly blocks millions of divisions.

After many years, I may not be able to achieve such strength.
