If the proportion of cultivators in the Great Yan Territory could really reach such a state, then it would probably really be called half of the Human Immortal Dynasty.

But unfortunately,

The upper echelons of the dynasty, including his father, did not want to see this happen.

At least

Not for the time being.

And in this silence,

Bai Muxi looked at the two strange-looking visitors on the ground, and asked softly:

"Your Excellency, is there anything wrong with our cultivators in the Seven Cities?"

Coming back to his senses, looking at this fair woman who was as fair-skinned as the blood clan in her previous life, Xu Yuan replied with a smile:

"No, I just think it's really not easy for you to keep such a number of cultivators after 10,000 years."

There was a hint of condescension in his words.

Bai Muxi didn't care, and the red lips under the tulle smiled slightly:

"Survival is the way it goes."

After that, she asked politely:

"Now that the two of you have finished asking, can it be the turn of this official?"

"Naturally." Xu Yuan responded.

Bai Muxi's beautiful eyes flickered, paused for a moment, and asked directly:

"Can the two of you have official status in the Great Yan Dynasty in the outside world?"

“.”

Hearing this question, Xu Yuan's eyes were strange.

Li Qingyan has always called himself this palace, this kind of self-title, this woman can't hear it?

It seems that after 10,000 years, there is still a serious fault in the civilization underground.

Thinking for a moment,

"I didn't."

Xu Yuan replied directly, then glanced at Li Qingyan and asked, "Do you have an official body?" ”

Li Qingyan gave him a blank look:

"How can this palace have an official status?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he scolded the female priest who was covering her face with a light veil:

"Well, she didn't either."

Bai Muxi looked at Li Qingyan, who had an extraordinary bearing, frowned, and his eyes were suspicious:

"Really?"

"Is this a problem?"

Xu Yuan asked with a smile, word by word:

"Or do you not believe us?"

“.”

Bai Muxi took a deep look at this handsome man who only had soul condensing cultivation, but was unscrupulous, his posture was very low, and his sleeves and robes were folded and he saluted again:

"Hu Benguan naturally believes your words, so if you ask another question, can you tell me the identity and status of the two officials?"

"It's simple, she is the princess of the dynasty, and I am the third son of the prime minister."

Xu Yuan didn't think about it, paused, and added: "As for the status, my status and her status in the Great Yan Dynasty should be quite high. ”

“.”

Silent.

Bai Muxi glanced back and forth at the two of them with distinct statuses, and the incomprehension in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed.

In terms of identity, she is more noble than him, and in terms of cultivation, it is even more different.

Why did the woman listen to this man?

But none of this matters, if what this man said is true, then the Seven Cities of the Cave are really saved.

There was one more thing she had to confirm, though.

Thinking about it, Bai Muxi restrained his thoughts and bowed:

"I have another question that I hope will be answered."

"Ask."

"Did you two enter our dungeon on purpose?"

“.”

Get to the heart of the matter.

If so, with the reinforcements of the Great Yan Dynasty on the ground, nearly 400,000 people in the underground palace can be saved.

If not. Then these two people are of no benefit to her, and they are all trapped in this underground palace.

As for this question, Xu Yuan did not answer in a hurry, and glanced at Bai Muxi with interest.

Bai Muxi's gauze clothes were lightly tugged, slim and elegant, and her eyes were clear and calm.

Li Qingyan stood aside, also slightly interested in whether this dead man would squeeze this female priest by lying.

Ban Yu,

He spat out two words:

"It's not."

Words fall,

A flash of gloom flashed in Bai Muxi's eyes, but his crisp voice remained unchanged, and he was still polite:

"The official knows, the two of them came from afar, so the six officials in the shrine will take the two of them down to rest for the night, and we will talk again."

"Hey."

Xu Yuan interrupted Bai Muxi's words, and asked with a smile: "Lord Si Ming, have you forgotten, you still owe us a question?" ”

“.”

Bai Muxi was silent for a few breaths, her calm eyes could no longer see her emotions, and she asked:

"Excuse me."

"Do you want to get out?"

"What?" The calm in Bai Muxi's eyes, which lasted less than a few breaths, was instantly broken.

Xu Yuan stepped forward, squinted his eyes and raised his hand, and lightly tapped in the middle of the ravine, which was lightly tied by the female priest's dress:

"I asked, you. Want to get out? ”

The residence arranged by the Underground Shrine for Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan was a stone palace.

According to the underground law, Bai Muxi arranged a room for each of them at the beginning and lived separately, but Xu Yuan had no intention of following the customs.

It's not that he wants to sleep with Li Qingyan, it's mainly that he lives alone, he is afraid of being attacked by Bai Muxi at night, it's too unsafe.

The palace is very large, and several load-bearing stone pillars carved with strange giant beasts support the four-zhang high hall roof, which is magnificent, and has a bit of the grandeur of the palace.

And the layout is also contrary to the ruins seen in this dungeon.

It is common in Da Yan, but it should be regarded as extremely luxurious in this underground palace.

A large wooden bed sits in the center, with a cotton blanket, a tulle bed net, a wooden table with futons, a gauze screen, and even a quirky wooden tea set.

Some of the special greenery in the ground emitted a fluorescent blue light in the darkness of the hall, dotted in the darkness like starlight, illuminating the entire hall.

It seems that this underground also has the output of these living materials, but the output is very small, and it can only be used by the top layer of the cave dungeon.

It's really a pervasive class gap.

However, Xu Yuan didn't care much about these things.

The materials extorted from the sect and Li Yunqing are now in his Sumeru ring, and even if there is no one here, it can be moved out of the Sumeru ring.

The moment he entered the hall, Xu Yuan's eyes were immediately attracted by the appearance of the sculpture in the deepest part of the palace.

It was a monstrous alien.

Suddenly, Li Qingyan's laughing voice suddenly sounded on his side:

"Hongu found that you seem to like a woman's chest when you speak?"

Xu Yuan came back to his senses, looked at her indifferent gaze, and asked with an unconscious smile:

"If Qingyan feels jealous, I can also order you."

"Virtue."

Li Qingyan snorted lightly: "Although Changtian has some understanding of your character, it shouldn't be such an unnecessary offense, are you for the jewel on her chest?" ”

Xu Yuan bowed very handfully, and said hehehe:

"Her Royal Highness the princess is really smart and has no evidence, I have to come up with some evidence to prove that I can take her out, I just want to mention her and prove that what I said is true."

Wen Yan,

Li Qingyan slowly walked to the side of the big bed and sat down, took off the black robe on his body, and was wrapped in a brown-red fungus nail, and the curves were instantly revealed, and the two slender jade legs were intertwined, holding his chin and looking at him:

"How did you get the jade pendant?"

"The remnant soul of the saint in the Soul Ring."

Xu Yuan shook the pot again, and said, without waiting for Li Qingyan to speak, he took the lead in changing the topic and pointed to the strange ghost sculpture in the depths:

"This palace doesn't seem to be very clean before, and with the strange ghost sculptures and the strange beasts on those stone pillars, this palace is a proper place of worship."

"From the words of the female commander of Fang Cai, it should be clear that there has been a coup d'état here."

Li Qingyan's voice was flat, he raised Erlang's legs and shook gently, and his voice was very soft: "Every year, a city sacrifices 200 people, you can exchange it for a desperate situation, and in a desperate situation, the former "sacrifice" is most likely to use evil worship to stabilize the rule, just like those snowfield barbarians preach that the soul will return to their ancestral god after the battle is killed." ”

Speaking of which,

Li Qingyan's slender index finger lightly tapped her fair face, squinted and smiled, and asked:

"Long days, you. What comes to mind? ”

“.”

They looked at each other silently, and smiled at each other.

Xu Yuan walked up to Li Qingyan and sat down, slowly:

"The coup d'état is either for power or for the realization of one's own ideals.

"The strange ghosts in the Blood Demon Cave are almost crushing and powerful to the humans in this cave dungeon, and if they launch a coup d'état for the former, they may be wiped out at any time."

"This newly appointed female secretary either has some clues to be able to get out.

Either she discovers that there is a variable on the side of the ghost's lair, and if she doesn't make changes, the so-called "Seven Cities Alliance" will be slaughtered by the stranger! ”

After a pause, Xu Yuan grabbed Li Qingyan's shoulders and smiled sideways:

"Qingyan, am I right?"

Hearing this, Li Qingyan leaned on his shoulder, bent his eyes and chuckled:

"You're smart."

Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan and shook his head:

"But a woman who is too smart is not liked."

Li Qingyan took a sip and blinked his phoenix eyes:

"Then it's okay for this palace to pretend to be stupid in front of you in the future?"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:

"It's all said that you're not suitable for cute expressions."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan glanced at the sculpture in the depths of the palace:

"If it was the former, then Si Ming probably wouldn't have a lot of information, and it might not be certain, otherwise she wouldn't have used that attitude towards me.

"If it's the latter, then we're the only driftwood that can save her life when she drowns."

“.”

Li Qingyan didn't joke anymore, sat up straight, and looked at Xu Yuan seriously:

"You tell Hongu the truth, how sure are you of your plan?"

Xu Yuan saw her look and instantly knew what she wanted to do:

"Do you want to use the seven thousand cultivators of this cave dungeon to train in this underground palace?"

“.”

Li Qingyan was silent for a long time, and held back a sentence:

"Men who are too smart are not liked."

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, and said:

"Alright, tell me what you think."

Li Qingyan nodded, but still said in a low voice:

"The two of us have abundant materials in the Sumeru ring, at least three months, at most half a year, and there should be a fighting force, and then the palace can use the army to kill through the entire underground palace."

"No, it's too long."

Xu Yuan denied her idea: "The risk of your plan is no less than mine. ”

Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes drooped, and his voice was low:

"Barbarian King?"

"Yes."

Xu Yuan nodded and looked directly into Li Qingyan's eyes: "The variables brought by the barbarian king are too great, the Beifeng army has broken away from you, and your deputy general has also begun to command Mr. Zong's Black Scale Guard to go south, we can not be in a hurry, but the current barbarian king will definitely try his best to get out, and his kind of strong man is scurrying around in this kind of cave, and it is very likely that he will find our karst cave dungeon located on the periphery." ”

The words fell, and the hall fell silent.

Half an hour later,

Li Qingyan said faintly:

"Listen to you."

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to get us out."

After that, Xu Yuan raised his hand and wanted to touch her head to appease, but he was directly opened by the princess.

She stared at him:

"Hongu doesn't like people touching Hongu's head."

Xu Yuan rubbed his wrist and teased:

"The boss's orders don't work?"

Li Qingyan ignored him and sighed in a low voice:

"It's a pity for the seven thousand cultivators in this cave dungeon, this palace has just investigated, these people's foundations are not bad, and their breath is extremely thick in the same realm."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, and his voice was very soft:

"This is a physique formed after 10,000 years underground, and I can't ask for it, but if the Great Yan Dynasty can reach the proportion of cultivators like them, those demon beasts in the cholera towns should no longer be a problem."

Li Qingyan's upright fullness fluctuated slightly, exhaled, gathered his mind, and said with a smile:

"Impossible, it has only been more than 20 years since my father and Xu openly set up a martial apprentice academy to teach the way of martial apprentices, and the outflow of martial apprentices has already begun to enter the cholera township.

"Cultivators, for the common people are more terrifying than demon beasts."

Xu Yuan smiled with a little surprise:

"You have been in the army all year round, and you even know about local bandits?"

"Why doesn't Hongu know?"

Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan very strangely, and said in a low voice:

"In the past, there were many such chivalrous troupes composed of idle warriors in the Beifeng City, even those large and medium-sized chivalrous troupes with the endorsement of the government, many of them were bandits and strongmen who had been stained with good blood in their hands, not to mention those who were not registered."

Speaking of which,

Li Qingyan hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and his rustling voice carried a hint of amusement:

"And those people have the face to call themselves rangers."

"It's not just a ranger"

Xu Yuanwan smiled and added softly: "In the wilderness of many counties and counties in the south, there have already been martial apprentices who have opened sects and recruited disciples by using the exercises they learned from the martial arts hall. ”

Li Qingyan's eyes were strange, and she didn't know about it when she stayed in the north all the year round:

"A group of martial artists who have not yet arrived at the soul condense dare to start a sect?"

Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and chuckled:

"If you have exercises, you can establish a sect, but for those low-level exercises, you can just understand them as obedient mountain bandits;

"Of course,

"They themselves do not consider themselves mountain bandits, but

"Secular sects."

Since the establishment of the Tian'an Martial Arts Hall decades ago, providing a cultivation channel for the people at the bottom, those martial apprentices who have either been eliminated or have not chosen to enter the army have evolved to the present, and there is already a prototype of the so-called "martial arts rivers and lakes".

"Secular?"

When Li Qingyan heard this, a pair of red eyes flashed with sharp mangs, and his voice carried a hint of military killing intent: "The local government doesn't care? In the long run, this will shake the foundation of my Great Yan rule. ”

“.”

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he was slightly surprised by Li Qingyan's political literacy as a military general, but he was relieved when he remembered the identity of the princess of the other dynasty.

Truth be told, he didn't know any of that stuff before.

But who made his father the prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition and protected the calves?

When he reunited with the other three young men in the capital in Goolan, the joke he made with Gong Yuanzeng, the son of the second prime minister, was not a joke.

Since his father's study is set in the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he, the third child, can usually come and go at will.

When I was a child, I could, and now I can.

During his stay in the imperial capital, he went in openly and watched a lot of central secrets and internal references of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Sometimes I even watch it with my father.

The father and son sat at the desk without saying a word, and as soon as they finished reading the annotation and put it down, Xu Yuan immediately picked it up and browsed it.

Because of this, Xu Yuan now knows very well the situation in Dayan today.

After the establishment of basic cultivation halls such as the Tian'an Martial Arts Hall and the Formation Pattern Division gave the low-level people a channel to contact the cultivation path, Dayan's overall national strength has been growing at an extremely fast rate.

More cultivators,

More Array Pattern Artists,

More alchemists,

More Elixir Cultivators,

And much more.

These talents are like military first-class demon beasts, dragging the Great Yan Empire all the way on the road to prosperity.

However, the growth rate of this kind of national strength is actually faster, and it can be replaced with a military Class A flying monster as an "engine".

The source qi between heaven and earth is constantly surging, and with the output of the overall cultivation resources of Great Yan now, it can completely supply more people for cultivation.

However, this kind of sign has been suppressed by the imperial court and the sect, and it is still controlling and suppressing the channels for cultivating the exercises on a large scale, especially the high-level exercises.

The productivity of the Great Flame is being firmly suppressed by the top building.

But it's a pity that once the productivity thing is released, the top building is not something that can be suppressed.

It's like the secular sect that makes Li Qingyan vigilant.

As long as one of these secular sects appears, it will be followed by a second and a third, and when it appears on a large scale, it will lead to a rapid proliferation of low-level martial artists in the next few decades.

Li Yaoxuan, his father, and their staff need time to deal with the chaos brought about by this change.

After a pause, Xu Yuan explained softly to Li Qingyan:

"These worldly sects were tacitly approved by my father."

"Xu Gong acquiesced?"

Li Qingyan muttered in an instant, and asked, "Because of obedience?" ”

"Transparent."

Xu Yuan gave a thumbs up to the princess in the tights: "These martial arts sects have a fixed nest, which is much easier to manage than those wandering chivalrous troupes, they are not only obedient, but also able to clear the demon beasts near where the sect is located, and can also generate income for the local government, why not?" ”

"It's better to be blocked.

"What Xu Gong has seen is really far away."

Li Qingyan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips again:

"Let Bengong guess, Xu Gong's next step should be to transform all those active large-scale chivalrous groups into this kind of secular sect, and then hold their high-level accountable?"

“.”

Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly surprised.

That's right again.

That's what he came to when he discussed it with the old man.

It's better to be blocked than to be sparse.

Try to guide these supernumerary warriors to merge and let them take root and operate in a fixed sect location.

And the attitude of the imperial court towards it will always be acquiescence, not recognition.

If you are obedient, you will treat the bones as dogs, and if you don't listen, you will be beheaded directly.

This princess is still as smart as ever.

Smiling slightly, he said softly:

"Yes."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan asked with interest:

"Changtian, how did you know about this kind of confidential information?"

"By twisting, of course." Xu Yuan said as a matter of course.

"Folding?"

Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan, and smiled:

"Gong Xu allows you to read the folds for a long time?"

"Haven't you been to the inner courtyard of my family's mansion, and the door of my father's study has never been locked,"

Xu Yuan looked into her eyes and asked with a smile:

"Qingyan, next time you come to my house, let's watch the excerpts together?"
