Now the situation in the Tang Kingdom has not reached the point of no return, although there are internal and external troubles, but after all, there is the power of resistance!

The invasion of the Western Wilderness and the Southern Barbarian was not as easy as it was at the beginning, and as the Tang Emperor sent troops to resist, every step of the enemy's advance became extremely difficult.

At the same time, Li Junlin was also a skillful monarch, organizing the princes and literati to publicize the atrocities of the invasion of the Southern Barbarians and the Western Wilderness and the tragic situation of the occupied land, deliberately creating a bleak and desolate atmosphere!

Because of the Tang Emperor as the driving force behind the scenes, the obstacle to this matter was much smaller, and for a time, the consciousness of "the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible" was widely spread within the borders.

Naturally, there are some people of insight and high-rollers who spontaneously go to block foreign enemies, which invisibly relieves a lot of pressure on the country in turmoil.

"Chivalry and prohibition by force", these people are an unstable factor in the war, but under the deliberate guidance, they can also play a different role.

Of course, rebellion within the borders of the country is inevitable, but the so-called "chivalrous man, for the country and the people", at such a critical moment of foreign invasion, is still engaged in wind and rain, and it is naturally difficult to get the approval of the people.

For ordinary people, in fact, there is not much difference between who is the emperor, as long as they can live their own small life!

However, now that foreign enemies have invaded, military disasters have struck, and the places where their ancestors lived have been ruthlessly trampled and ravaged, the people naturally hate these foreign enemies.

The existence of various rebel forces within the borders of the country, whether they are competing for immediate interests or vainly trying to overthrow the Tang State and achieve great things, are increasing the burden on ordinary people, making their living conditions more difficult, and naturally it is difficult to get support.

Even in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, there are many people who are full of disdain for this kind of infighting!

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of martial artists, one is to "learn literature and martial arts, and goods are in the emperor's family", and the destination is to seek an official and a half-position in the imperial court, and they are naturally staunch defenders of the imperial court.

And the other is the heroes of the rivers and lakes, they either have no way to officialdom, or they are free and casual, or they are dissatisfied with the court, for a variety of reasons, but basically they don't have much respect and fear for the court.

The so-called "the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year", these warriors, with their spirit and blood bravery, are naturally willing to cut their bodies and dare to pull the emperor off the horse!

But now it is different, at the moment of foreign invasion, it is not only the imperial court that is facing danger, but the entire Tang country and nation, and this country composed of thousands of Tang people.

At this time, those who can't distinguish the righteous forces, or those who deliberately fish in troubled waters, will naturally be resisted, and there are many constraints on their actions, which also relieves a lot of pressure from within the Tang Kingdom!

Not only a step, but also a thousand miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas! The tide of the times is rolling forward, although the power of the individual is extremely small, but the power that countless droplets of water gather together, and the power that can be generated cannot be ignored after all!

Prosperity and decline, this is the law of the development of all things in the world, and non-human beings can forcibly reverse it. But if we unite as one and rejuvenate in the broken wealth, everything is unknown!

……

On the wasteland, Lin Yan, who was in the black city, after some careful consideration, was already planning to make a move against the Death Song Order.

Since the fall of the Blood Sect, Wanbaolou has the most powerful voice in this black city, but it is not a monopoly, and the Death Song Cult still has terrifying power in it, forming a constraint on Wanbaolou.

Previously agreed to the matter of the West Wasteland borrowing the wasteland, although both families were involved, it did not mean that their positions were the same.

And now, Wanbaolou's side unilaterally repented, but the Death Song Order may not agree, this will only simply offend the Western Wilderness, and the other party can still continue to cooperate with the Death Song Order, but the security is worse.

But at that time, Wanbaolou will face the double pressure of the Western Wilderness from the outside and the Death Song Order from within the wasteland, and the situation will become difficult, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Han Shangyan naturally sent someone to test the attitude of the Death Song Sect on this matter, after all, it was the best if he could talk about it, but it was a pity

The results are not ideal!

Therefore, if you are determined to cut off the back road of the Western Wilderness, then you must first eradicate the power of the Death Song Cult in the Black City, which will greatly weaken its control over the wasteland, and then no matter what Wanbaolou wants to do, there will be a lot less worries.

However, things are simple to say, but it is not so easy to do, after all, the other party is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others!

Now the Death Song Order has its own sub-sect base in the Black City, among which there are three patriarchs, these are all masters of the innate realm, and there are more than a dozen archbishops in the acquired realm under them, and there are several other masters, such a powerful force cannot be ignored no matter where it is placed!

Moreover, this is only the power on the surface, no one knows if they still have the rest of the arrangements in secret, after all, the Death Song Order is obsessed with what happened at the beginning, and has always wanted to replace Wanbaolou and become the only voice on the wasteland!

Of course, the strength of the Divine Dragon Sect Master of the Death Song Sect is unfathomable, which is a great uncertain factor, but it is impossible for the other party to be stationed in Black City, so there is no need to be too cautious.

I have to say that being able to be selected by Qian You as the master of the Shangtang Hall and develop and operate Wanbaolou to this extent, the means that Xiao Miaozhi has are not as simple as she seems on the surface.

As a woman, Xiao Miaozhi did not look ahead, after discussing and deducing with Lin Yan and Han Shangyan, she made a plan with great courage to uproot all the power of the Death Song Sect in the Black City by thunderous means!

Lin Yan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and everything was being arranged in an orderly and rapid manner.

In fact, Xiao Miaozhi originally had this plan, but once the war started, the impact would be too great, and it would make Wanbaolou make too many enemies at once, affecting the interests, and the gains outweighed the losses!

It's just that with the arrival of Lin Yan, the situation has changed now, and the merchant hall has been dormant for many years, not just to shrink into a corner and do business safely. Since you have chosen to believe in Lin Yan, you must have a big move!

Once the Black City is successfully controlled, and then the entire wasteland is radiated, then Wanbaolou will no longer be a simple force in the rivers and lakes, but an existence that the four major powers have to look sideways!

Due to the special geographical location of the wasteland, if Wanbaolou can truly integrate it together, then it can launch an attack on any country, and the key hub location also makes it stand tall between the four major powers, and all parties check and balance each other.

In this way, Wanbaolou will be able to do more things in the future, in addition to participating in the war head-on, the transmission of intelligence and materials is more critical!

However, all this is just a benefit after the fact, and now we can only do our best to achieve this, otherwise the counterattack we face may push Wanbaolou into the abyss, and it is not impossible that years of hard work will be ruined.

This operation is top secret, after the previous "Great Purge", today's Wanbaolou can be called a "monolith", which can gather strength in the shortest possible time to strike hard!

In addition to the power it has, Wanbaolou also secretly contacted some trustworthy masters, and the martial artist is gradually extremely resource-intensive, and Wanbaolou is rich, and the price offered is something they can't refuse!

The atmosphere on the surface of the Black City is still the same as usual, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and one after another orders are issued from Xiao Miaozhi's hands, not only the Black City, but also other places above the wasteland are also secretly carrying out operations, just wait for the Black City to complete the matter, and grasp the control of the wasteland in the shortest possible time!

It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, in this kind of good weather suitable for killing people and exterminating mouths, Wanbaolou has done it!

……

In the city's secessionary strongholds, the three patriarchs did not rest, but gathered together to talk.

"There seems to be some unrest in the city recently, is there something Wanbaolou trying to do?"

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of profit-seeking businessmen, what's there to fear?"

"Don't be unnoticed, these guys aren't simple businessmen! If you just know how to do business, you have so much wealth

They have long been gnawed to the point that there are no bones left, and how can they reach their current status in the wasteland?"

"So what? With the blessing of Lord Death, I have taught many masters here, and anyone who wants to make small moves will only perish if they want to make small moves!"

The two patriarchs were arguing, one of whom was suspicious of the recent situation in the city and seemed to feel a crisis. The other person is quite disdainful of this, thinking that the other party is just worrying about the sky!

The argument was fruitless, and after a few moments, the two of them turned their eyes to one of the old men. Although the three of them are patriarchs, there is also a difference between each other's strength, this old man is the strongest of the three, his strength has reached the realm of innate perfection, his breath is restrained, and he has endless power between his gestures.

The old man's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and the essence of them flashed away, and after a slight pause, he said, "They are probably going to do it!"

The patriarch who had expressed disdain before frowned and said, "Elder Xi, those merchants? How dare they?"

The patriarch, known as "Xi Lao", said: "In the past few days, you must have heard of the large-scale 'purge' of Wanbaolou inside, what do you think they are doing this?"

"To deal with us?" The Patriarch said before raising doubts.

Xi Lao didn't say much, but his eyes already said everything.

The three of them are not mediocre people, so they can quickly think about the joints, but they just relied on their own strength before, thinking that the other party would not dare to start a battle lightly.

After all, this is not a small-scale friction, if the two sides fight, it will inevitably be a large-scale chaos that will sweep the entire wasteland, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood, and then it will be just an ordinary thing!

Moreover, from a businessman's point of view, this is not in line with their code of conduct, and this idea of taking a strong line of "one thing at a time" is too overbearing to be unbelievable!

In the midst of the silence of the three of them, a loud bang suddenly broke the silence of the night, followed by a series of explosions, and the ensuing firelight lit up the dark night sky.

Soon, a cacophony of voices rang out, and shouts pierced through the crowd in the midst of the chaos, echoing through the stronghold.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
