Chapter 153: The Imperial Court and the Sect (2-in-1)
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yuan did not refuse Xu Xinyao's request, glanced at the disciples of the sect who were eager to eat him, and said softly:
"Whatever you want, but I suggest you hurry up, if you delay for a long time, I guess with your personality you should regret it later."
He didn't believe in that group of sect disciples, so naturally he wouldn't explain the reason again.
Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes showed a trace of doubt, and said in a low voice:
"Okay, I'll just explain the next thing to Ziqing and them."
Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and motioned for her to pass.
Xu Xinyao thought for a moment, but still turned around and walked towards the group of sect disciples.
The tension on the official road dissipated somewhat.
Standing in place, Xu Yuan looked at the group of disciples of various sects with different appearances.
After a dozen breaths, Xu Yuan suddenly asked in his heart:
"How is the cultivation of this group of people?"
After a moment's pause, the voice of the remnant soul of the saint sounded:
"Except for the two people who spoke to you just now, most of them are melting, and a small part is condensing souls."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and swept the faces of this group of people:
"They are all quite young, this kind of cultivation should also be the best in the sect, it seems that my four sisters have made friends with geniuses and second ancestors, and they don't accept all waste."
The remnant soul of the saint chuckled, and said in a mocking tone: "It's really not a waste, but Xu boy, I thought you would kill that person." ”
Xu Yuan was cold for a moment, and glanced at Li Zhonghua, who was constantly apologizing to Xu Xinyao:
"Kill Li Zhonghua?"
"Nature." The remnant soul of the saint said.
Xu Yuan shook his head slightly:
"Why should I kill him? In addition to making it difficult for Xu Xinyao, can this do any good? ”
The remnant soul of the saint smiled: "Don't you think that person is very noisy? ”
"It's really noisy."
Xu Yuan agreed:
"But this is not the sword without eyes during the fight, no matter how you say it, such a young Sanpin Great Grandmaster is estimated to be the true head of a big sect, everything pays attention to the fame of the teacher, and if you change Xu Changge, at most it will only beat him to a serious injury, why should I do anything that does all kinds of harm but not benefit?"
After a pause, Xu Yuan glanced at the jet black soul ring on his fingertips:
"If I hadn't used the Charm God Dao Yun to cut the old man and the strong man first, the three shadows of the Vientiane Sect would have almost capsized us in the gutter, and the three great grandmasters mastered the Dao Yun, and none of them were easy to deal with.
"Even if we can kill them in the end, how much soul power will you have left, old man?
"Why should I do such a harmful and unprofitable thing?"
Words fall,
Xu Xinyao, who was dressed in blue and had watery eyebrows and eyes, had already turned around and walked towards Xu Yuan.
It seems that she listened to his words, just briefly explained to calm everyone's emotions, and returned to him after she left the itinerary after a brief arrangement.
"Third brother, let's go."
Xu Yuan glanced at the other party up and down and asked:
"Are you going to continue your trip with them?"
He heard their conversation just now, and Xu Xinyao asked this group of people to go back to Huanglongji and wait for him.
Xu Xinyao nodded:
"My father promised me."
Xu Yuan stared at her for a few breaths, shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything more:
"Can you fly?"
In Cangyuan, the frontal combat power of the "former heroine" in front of her is not weak, at least it is very strong in the early middle and early stages, not to mention her attainments in formation.
Xu Xinyao bowed slightly:
"My boots are engraved with a formation that stays in the air, you can fly, but not for a long time"
"Don't resist."
Halfway through hearing this, Xu Yuan directly waved his hand to interrupt, and without looking at the group of sect disciples, he directly waved his hand to hold up the four sisters with the soul power of the saint, and said to Ran Qingmo on the side:
"Let's go."
Ran Qingmo bowed slightly:
"Hmm"
Words fall,
The three figures rose directly and galloped away in the direction of Shengshan County
Along the way, Xu Xinyao asked Xu Yuan a lot of questions, but Xu Yuan didn't pay attention to her, just like Ran Qingmo didn't pay attention to him along the way before.
However, Xu Xinyao, who is gentle by nature, did not feel annoyed, and instead shared with Xu Yuan what she had seen and heard along the way since she went out.
From the suffering of the world, to the interesting stories along the way, to the friends she met, and even said some suitors that made her distressed.
Of course, Xu Yuan still ignored her.
And as he gradually approached the destination, Xu Xinyao's words gradually became less, not because of Xu Yuan's ignorance, but because the nearby landforms gradually became familiar.
She realized that the place they were going to was Shengshan County, and she also vaguely realized why the third brother, who had not said a word all the way, wanted to beat her
A day later, the destination arrived.
The Phantom Mist Array in Shengshan County was still on the edge of the Wanxing Mountain Range like a moat, and Xu Yuan took Xu Xinyao straight to the control array of the Vientiane Sect.
It was still a moonless night, and occasionally a loud beast roar could be heard in the dark mountain forest.
Landing at the entrance of the cave where the control array is located,
Xu Yuan still didn't speak, and glanced sideways at Xu Xinyao, who was not speechless.
Xu Xinyao lowered her head, and her silky hair blew down her sideburns, covering her look.
Without a word, she walked silently towards the cave.
Xu Yuan didn't move, watching the other party's slender figure disappear into the darkness of the cave, and then he snorted inexplicably, and slowly walked to the entrance of the cave and sat on the stone wall.
He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and once he didn't run the exercises, a deep sense of sleepiness would hit his heart.
Ran Qingmo sat beside him silently, took down the curtain fence, looked at the dark mountains and forests around him with quiet and beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Xu Yuan."
"Huh?" Xu Yuan was slightly tired and didn't open his eyes.
Ran Qingmo said in a low voice:
"Your sister is actually pretty good."
Xu Yuan said in a low voice:
"How?"
Ran Qingmo thought for a while and said in a low voice:
"I had heard of her reputation when I traveled the world before, and before I went down the mountain, the master said that I should learn from her."
Xu Yuan said in a low voice:
"Your master is a reasonable person."
As he spoke, he hooked the corners of his lips:
"However, the sect should indeed hope that there will be more people like her on the imperial court."
Ran Qingmo thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, and asked:
"Why?"
"Because there are more people like this, my father's plan will be difficult, and everyone will be fine."
"Hmm"
Ran Qingmo thought for a while and asked, "Isn't it good to be safe?" ”
"Nature is good."
Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes: "No one wants to fight, no one including my father wants to fight, and those who really want to fight and enjoy fighting are crazy." ”
When Ran Qingmo heard this topic, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice:
"Keke, why did your father attack the Sword Sect?"
Xu Yuan looked at her beside him, his face softened, and he asked in a low voice:
"Ran Qingmo, what do you think of the Vientiane Sect's actions to slaughter the city?"
Ran Qingmo was silent for a few breaths, and said very seriously:
"Angry."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Yes, as long as you are angry, you will feel angry when you see such a thing, this is 400,000 people."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan paused for two seconds, and then his words suddenly changed, and his tone was a little complicated:
"400,000 people seems like a lot, but it's really nothing, the year before last, the demon beast tide Ziyue County was broken, and more than 300,000 people died, do you know this?"
Ran Qingmo shook his head honestly: "I don't know." ”
Xu Yuan continued to ask:
"The year before last, the demon beast tide Chengqing County was broken, and more than 500,000 people died, the most serious, Xishen County was broken nine years ago, and nearly two million people died, you don't know these things, right?"
“.”
Ran Qingmo didn't speak, shook his head.
She didn't read the newspaper, nor did she read the internal references, she only knew about cultivation.
All the information was told to her by the master.
Xu Yuan sighed:
"400,000 people is just a drop in the ocean for the entire Great Yan. Because the things I just said are whole numbers.
"On the 100,000-mile border defense line in the Wanxing Mountains, it is difficult to calculate the scattered casualties every year, but at least it will exceed one Shengshan County.
"Remember, I'm talking about every year."
“.” Ran Qingmo pursed her red lips.
Xu Yuan didn't mean to stop, raised his hand and pointed to the northwest and north, and said in a tired tone:
"Ran Qingmo, the border line of Da Yan is not only the 100,000 miles of Wanxing Mountains, but also the Northwest Desert, as well as the bitter cold land in the north, since the official war between Da Yan and the barbarians in the north, more than five million people have died over there, in addition to the coastal defense line that stretches for nearly 200,000 miles in the eastern sea, there are still Japanese robbers who are in trouble."
"The number of people killed and injured in these places every year, a Shengshan County is really nothing."
Ran Qingmo's eyes lowered slightly, and his voice was soft:
"Xu Yuan. Do so many people die every year? ”
"It is recorded in the Xiangguo Mansion."
Xu Yuan sighed again, and his tone was leisurely:
"And the dead and wounded people on these borders are only small heads, the real big ones are in the territory of Dayan, except for the seven or eight rich continents, you should also see what the rest of the places are like, and these reasons are because the bloodsucking of many sects has caused the imperial court to have a financial deficit, and the local governments cannot afford the expenses of demon eradication in various places."
"Of course, from the standpoint of your sect, it can also be understood that this is the evil result of the imperial court's stubbornness, holding on to the power and refusing to back down."
"But no one wants Da Yan to be tired, after all, only when Da Yan is strong, the imperial court, sects, and many families can be more powerful."
“.” Ran Qingmo's chest rose and fell slightly.
Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly helpless, and he said in a low voice:
"Ran Qingmo, now you should know why my father wants to attack the Tianyuan Sword Sect, right? He didn't want to attack the Tianyuan Sword Sect, but to attack the sects in the world, and your Tianyuan Sword Sect was just the first to bear the brunt because of being the head of the sect. ”
There was silence, silence outside the cave.
After a long time,
Ran Qingmo said in a low voice:
"Xu Yuan. You tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell my master about them? ”
Xu Yuan raised his hand and his brain collapsed.
Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled, not painful or itchy.
“.”
Xu Yuan silently withdrew his sore fingers and coughed lightly:
"Ahem, these things I said, except for the last point, the top of the sect all know.
"As for the last point, no one believed it before, and no one will believe it if you say it now, after all, the news that you have been staying with me is estimated to have spread all over the world's sects."
The black dragon carriage representing the lineage of Xiangguo Mansion is too eye-catching, and Ran Qingmo's dress of wearing black with an ink sword is also particularly unique, the disciple is not clear, but the real high-level must know the precious apprentice of this old man of the Sword Sect.
Basically, it belongs to the mud into the crotch of the pants, and it can't be washed clean.
Ran Qingmo sat next to Xu Yuan and didn't speak, and for a while, she seemed to realize that something was wrong:
"Xu Yuan, since your father wants to do that kind of thing, why would your sister come to do the opposite?"
"She's by nature."
Xu Yuan glanced at the direction of the cave, and said directly without thinking: "She is too gentle and kind, and always wants an immortal solution, but where does this kind of good thing come from in this world, due to interests, who will back down?" ”
When the words fell, neither of them spoke.
Time flows quietly,
The voice of the remnant soul of the saint suddenly sounded in the bottom of Xu Yuan's heart:
"Xu boy, your father is really calculating."
"How?" Xu Yuan asked.
The remnant soul of the saint sighed a little:
"To be honest, I don't know much about today's world, old man, but your father, as an important minister of the imperial court, secretly wants to destroy the sect, but he also lets your sister go out to travel, isn't this completely a deceptive kindness towards the sect? Supplemented by some other government decrees, it is estimated that the sect thinks that your Xiangguo Mansion is going to compromise, right?
"Tsk. When the sect thought that it would not make a move, it was really a good means to strike another thunderous blow. ”
When Xu Yuan heard this, he felt a little surprised.
This old man Luo was able to conclude this kind of conclusion with that bit of information, and it didn't seem that ten thousand years were in vain.
However, Xu Yuan just said softly:
"Old man Luo, you are wrong, this is the path Xu Xinyao chose by himself.
"At best, it's just a twist, but her actions are just icing on the cake for my father's plans."
In the past ten years, the decrees against the sect above the court have basically been dry and thundery.
Even some time ago, there were rumors of a government decree in the surrounding continents of Jiangnan Province to govern the land of one party.
This would have been unimaginable more than a decade ago.
After all, Xu Yinhe has been in power for decades, and it took great hardships to uproot the sect forces in the official mansions of Dayan.
Now the entrance for the children of the sect to enter the court as officials has basically been cut off, but the recent decree above the court seems to be a faint sign that this opening will be opened again.
The list goes on and on.
Compared with these confusing decrees, Xu Xinyao's kindness to the sect can really only be regarded as icing on the cake.
After the words fell, Xu Yuan suddenly realized that the time should be about the same, and he should also go in and train his fourth sister who had a problem with his thinking.
Slowly getting up, Xu Yuan whispered to Ran Qingmo on the side:
"Ran Qingmo, you stay here, I have something to say to my fourth sister."
Ran Qingmo seemed to be still thinking about Xu Yuan's words, and just nodded lightly:
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here."
Xu Yuan looked at her with a slight frown, and reached out to rub her head:
"Don't think too much, the contradiction between the sect and the imperial court is basically irreconcilable, and it can only be broken and established."
It's late
