The Shentang's sphere of influence is the western part of Yuzhou, that is, the Sanchuan area north of Funiu Mountain and the Nanyang Basin south of Funiu Mountain.

There are many internal forces in this area, including officials sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty, large and small wealthy families, and two palaces with a long heritage, Iwakura Hall and Qingzhou Hall.

It's very funny to say, in distant antiquity, the Divine Hall was originally just one of the three halls of people, gods and ghosts in the Qingzhou Palace, and the Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Hall were both factions of the Ancient Heavenly Martial God Sect.

What's even funnier is that although the Tianwu Divine Sect no longer exists, the Gaoyang Clan, the leader family of the Heavenly Martial God Sect, has not yet perished, and operates a smaller Tianwu Temple on the small territory of the Qingzhou Temple, becoming a puppet to enjoy respect.

It all starts in antiquity. Wuzu is said to have seven great disciples, known as the Three Gods and Four Emperors, and established seven famous sects, and the Heavenly Martial God Sect is one of them.

With the passage of time, the Seven Great Martial Sects gradually declined, and now they are basically gone.

And the situation of the Tianwu Divine Sect is very weird, with the passage of time, it is gradually overturned by its two major branch sects, the Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Hall, but because the two halls are not in agreement, there is no way to officially usurp the throne, so the Gaoyang family, the leader of the Tianwu Divine Sect, was divided into a piece of land in the Qingzhou Hall in the Nanyang area of influence to be responsible for raising it, good wine and good meat are offered, and it still has the identity of the sect leader, but what he does is to sacrifice to the ancestors as a god stick.

Next, the Shentang in the three major branches of the Qingzhou Hall rose again, and robbed the territory of the Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Hall seven or eight tenths, but because there was still a puppet sect leader of the Tianwu Divine Sect on the top, the masters of the Divine Hall of the past generations did not dare to cross the two floors and proclaim themselves as the sect leaders, so they simply regarded it as no such thing, and used the Shentang as the name of the sect to communicate with the sects in the world.

The most powerful sect in the Shenwu lineage today is the Shentang, and the Shentang is the descendant of the Martial Ancestor. And the Tianzi Peak, which has the greatest power in the Qiwu lineage, was not created by the genuine disciples of the Martial Ancestor. Originally, from this point of view, the Divine Hall was much more orthodox and noble than Tianzi Peak, but Tianzi Peak looked down on the Divine Hall in every way because of the strange origin of the Divine Hall.

As the most capable hall master in the history of the Divine Hall, Su Mengzhen of course also wanted to completely dig out the two big nails of the Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Hall and put the reputation of the Divine Hall right. But surrounded by strong enemies, if you don't attack the Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Palace, you can also borrow soldiers and food from the other party in the name of the same door, if you completely tear your face, the two halls have been inherited for thousands of years, and they have their own heritage, and it is not so easy to completely destroy them, and the war lasts too long, but it gives the outside forces an opportunity to take advantage of it. The Sanhe Sword Sect, Shenxiao Dao, Tianzi Peak, and even the Great Zhou Imperial Court, which one is not eyeing the fertile land of western Henan?

And the Qingzhou Hall and the Iwakura Hall naturally wanted to regain the lost land and power, but there were few soldiers and few money, but the Shentang was stronger from generation to generation, and of course they did not dare to start a war rashly, so the current strange situation was maintained in the western Henan area.

"I heard that Deng Aihou, the hall master of the Iwakura Hall of this generation, is a person whose heart is higher than the sky, and thinks that the Shentang is a rebellious minister and thief who has committed the following crimes, and is bent on restoring his former territory and power, but he is suffering from lack of money and food. Forget the Valley of Sorrow is a well-known rich faction, but he has coveted it for a long time. Wu Feng said, taking out the map from the Ruyi bag.

"Bingzhou is in the north, Yuzhou is in the south, and there is a Yellow River in between. The power of the main hall is mainly in the western part of Yuzhou, and there are only a few tribes scattered in the area of Bingzhou, and the power is very weak. ”

"The Valley of Forgetting Worries is in the southwest part of Bingzhou, Hedong County, and if you want to enter Yuzhou from here, you must cross Fenglingdu. And the territory of the Iwakura Hall is the area of Fenglingdu!" Wu Feng pointed to the map and analyzed.

The reason why the shrine was unable to establish more tribes in the state and further expand its power was because there was an uncontrollable Iwakura Hall in the middle.

Yun Hailan said: "That's why you chose Iwakura Hall as the object of defection?"

"That's right, it's the closest to Hedong, and if I can dedicate the Iwakura Hall to the Su Hall Master, and from then on open up the passage between Bingzhou and Yuzhou, the main hall will be able to further expand its power in Bingzhou. Saying that, Wu Feng said lightly: "A wandering disciple who has lost his sect can't become an important person in the main hall, but if he can give such a big gift, it will be very different. ”

People who can achieve great things have wanted to take the inheritance of others to achieve their goals since they were young, and they are not ashamed of it. More than a thousand years ago, King Xian was praised as the lord of benevolence, but he never wanted to seize the inheritance of others, and after half a life of turbulent exile, he finally established his own dynasty in the Xishu area.

Yun Hailan said: "I have slept for forty years, and when I was in Luoyi, Deng Aihou was probably still a few years old, so I didn't know this person." You say that his heart is higher than the sky, but if this person really has the corresponding ability, then what? You are not afraid of being controlled by him?"

Wu Feng smiled: "The era of famous families has almost passed. ”

When Yun Hailan heard this, she felt uncomfortable for a while. The Luoyi Yun family back then was also a well-known family......

I only heard Wu Feng say: "It's not that I look down on famous families, on the contrary, I still admire the demeanor of ancient famous people very much." However, if the inheritance of a famous family is too long, it is easy to decay, and there are all kinds of old ills. As a result, countless famous families have been wiped out by emerging forces as the years go by. Some famous families have always controlled power in their hands, such as the Jingzhou Long family of Shenxiao Dao, so at least they can maintain their strength on the surface, and for example, the Hongnong Yang family's family has long declined, but through the revival of Yang Qi, who was born in a separate family, and the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can also regain a little vitality - Yang Qi is naturally not enough, but after all, he is a figure who has made a career. And the two halls of Qingzhou and Iwakura, because the Deng family was the chief retainer of the Gaoyang clan back then, so the heads of the family in the past dynasties were served by the Deng family, and they were decayed over the years, but they couldn't control their power, and they were taken away by emerging forces. ”

Wu Feng made a summary: "The famous door is like a beam hollowed out by termites, the surface is bright, but inside, there are too many holes and flaws." ”

After listening to Wu Feng's assertion, Yun Hailan got up in a daze, stood quietly under the moon, and was speechless for a long time.

Yes, the Luoyi Yun family back then, as well as the Great Wei royal family, how could it not be like this? If it weren't for his own internal contradictions, all kinds of redundancy and shortcomings, how could he be vulnerable in front of Yang Qi?

"So, how are you going to dedicate the wealth here to Deng Aihou? You can't take away so much gold, silver and jewelry at once, right?" After a while, Yun Hailan asked again.

"Just ask Deng Aihou to send someone to pick it up. Wu Feng said: "There are still some people in the Valley who manage various industries outside, and they only come back once a month to replenish supplies for the valley and transport the income back. Counting the days, they had only left a short time ago, and they would not return for at least twenty days, and when they found that the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows had been destroyed, they went to report to the main hall. In other words, as long as Deng Aihou can secretly send someone to transport all the wealth in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrow within twenty days, everyone will only think that the murderer did it. ”

"Then ......" Yun Hailan said: "If Deng Aihou is a trustworthy person, it is good, if he takes money and treasures and wants to kill people, I can't sit idly by, you can't fight an entire sect......"

Speaking of this, Yun Hailan's slender jade fingers swiped lightly in the air: "Maybe it's the help of your blood, my skills seem to have recovered quite quickly recently." Although you can't be like that murderer, destroying the door is as light as digging for things, but it's still no problem to assassinate the head of a small family like Iwakura. ”

She has completely thought about the problem from Wu Feng's point of view. Wu Feng wanted to seize Deng Aihou's Iwakura and give it to Su Mengzhen, but Yun Hailan didn't think it was wrong. But if Deng Aihou wants to kill Wu Feng and kill her, she will take Deng Aihou's life.

Wu Feng suddenly remembered the cold and fierce aura he felt when he first saw her.

Miss Yun was a well-known decisive figure in killing, although she looked sweet and gentle, and killed people, she would not be soft at all.
