Ming Haozong is too complicated.

Not to mention external families like the Luo family, there are many internal factions.

Lin Zhengping, Song Yunhui, and Shi Liangxiu are the same brothers of the same teacher, but there is a gap in their feelings.

Song Yunhui was supported by his junior brother Lin Zhengping, and he also came from Wufeng's uncle Zuo Qianqiu's bias, so he temporarily got the power of Ming Haozong.

Shi Liangxiu's foundation is in Wuqiu City, and he wears a pair of pants with the Xie family, but his strength is not weak at all, and he fights against Song Yunhui.

The three peaks Peng Zhijing faction, the six peaks and the eight peaks walked together and became a faction.

There is no doubt that even if Ming Haozong is in charge of Yan Kingdom in the end, he will have to fight in civil strife and continue to fight.

In addition, there is also the Huoyun Sect, it is impossible to completely destroy it, and it will be integrated again, and the leaders of the Jindan are also of equal status, and they will not just become vassals.

Then, the relationship is more complicated.

Zhong Yan estimated that Lin Zhengping would not know who to support at that time.

Changning Shen Nanfeng, who has a good relationship with Lin Zhengping, is also from Wufeng, but he is in the same boat as his in-law Sifeng.

And the four peaks, now in the Huoyun Sect, have replaced the original sect master and become the one in power.

Before the start of the civil war, Lin Zhengping originally wanted to follow the Huoyun Sect, but it was Zuo Qianqiu who persuaded and lobbied as an elder to choose Minghao.

If it weren't for the deep friendship with Lin Zhengping, it would be safer to ask him to take care of Qingyang secretly, Zhong Yan would not have come here at all, and he was more optimistic about the Huoyun Sect where Fu Pengzhan was located, or the Xiahou family in the south.

Song Yunhui pondered a little, pursed his lips and said: "That's what we think, if Qingyang stands up, you and I can take Suliu and Anhe in one fell swoop, unify the northwest, and then capture the Wanling Sect, you can become the first prince, and the city, the number of monks, and the high-level combat power can be separated from other princes."

At that time, the Xiahou family in the south and Jingzhou will definitely unite the front and form a confrontation with the north, the Quartet will sit down to negotiate, put the facts in place, or fight the law, elect the leading representatives, and temporarily merge to end the civil war. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The civil war has dragged on for too long, and now You Ye has captured nearly half of the territory of Wei, and if we delay time, in the end, we will only disappear on this side of Weinan." ”

Zhong Yan's heart is not turbulent, the abacus is to play well, integrate Qingyang, Shunyi, Heishui, and the Zhou family, and then incorporate the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, Ming Haozong will be the most qualified to become the speaker of the new alliance.

However, if there is no real fight, how can the Xiahou family, which is in full swing, be willing, and how can the leader elected through negotiation and competition be able to convince the public?

Don't look at it as just a suzerain's position, many people don't care about it in peacetime, but in this war era, it is very important, if you don't have enough prestige, wait until the external war, the war arrangement is slightly unsatisfactory, and you don't need outsiders to fight, and the internal chaos will be the first.

If this was possible, would it have been necessary to start a civil war in the first place?

Zhong Yan was about to speak, and there was a fluctuation from the storage bag, but it was from Yang Shan.

"I'm sorry."

Zhong Yan got up and walked to the side, waved his sleeves to put down the barrier, and connected to the contact.

"The head of the family, the Venerable Daoist friend left suddenly because of something, leaving something for me to hand over, I will leave later, and I can go to Qingyang in half a month."

"What?"

"A wooden box, I don't know the specifics."

"Why did he leave? How long will it take to come back? ”

"It seems that there is an urgent matter, and I haven't talked about the return time."

"Got it, stay safe."

At the end of the interrogation, Zhong Yan frowned and groaned, and the departure of the fifth statue disrupted the plan.

Originally, he wanted to go to Jiuhang first, if he could come to various pills and elixir cultivation techniques, he could save a lot of trouble.

"Since you have handed over things, it is most likely difficult to return in a short period of time, and perhaps, not to come back?"

Thinking of this, Zhong Yan's eyes flickered, his mood was complicated and contradictory, and he felt relieved, because he might no longer need to be involved with a big force like Jiuhang, and he would not be stared at; There is also a bit of a loss, because there is a high risk of losing an extremely important opportunity.

Lin Zhengping and Song Yunhui glanced at each other, and the latter said, "It doesn't seem to be good news." ”

A full quarter of an hour.

Zhong Yan, who had been pondering for a long time, returned to his seat, poured a glass of wine and drank it, and asked with a smile: "Why did the two cultivators enter the realm so quickly?" ”

Under his powerful divine sense, Lin Zhengping Jindan was at the peak of the third layer, one step away from the fourth layer, and Song Yunhui was on the third floor, all of which were chasing Zuo Qianqiu.

Lin Zhengping was stunned for a moment, and said with an angry smile: "Look down on people? Of course, it comes from penance! ”

Song Yunhui continued: "I know what you mean, although the Huoyun Sect is the largest sect in the Yan Kingdom and controls about thirty percent of the resources in the territory, it takes an incomparably huge amount to maintain the operation of the sect, and the majority has to pay tribute to the Shenxiao Sect.

Fu Laozu Tianling Root, the requirements for resources are less, basically he has not used the inventory of the sect, and he has accumulated it step by step by himself, but Fu Laozu is a Qing cultivator, mainly based on the aura of heaven and earth, supplemented by a small number of spirit stones and heavenly treasures, so the entry is slow.

Shi Shuzu is a three-spirit root, his qualifications are a little worse, he got the Fusion Spirit Pill by chance, and he didn't resist the temptation to break into the Jindan just after six hundred tricks, and he regretted it from time to time, and now every step of the Jindan is trying his best to lay a solid foundation......"

Lin Zhengping said: "As for us, we have caught up with the good times, and we have the Nian Power Beads, but it is not easy, refining the Nian Power Beads is okay in small quantities, but the number is too much, and the pain is very unbearable!" ”

Song Yunhui: "However, compared to the spirit stone, the telekinetic bead takes much less time to obtain the same amount of vitality, and it is quite helpful for the divine sense. ”

Zhong Yan's heart moved: "Helpful to divine sense?" ”

"You didn't notice?"

Rhetorically, Lin Zhengping said: "About three million grains can increase the perception range by one zhang, but it solves the resource problem to a large extent." ”

Song Yunhui: "This is also the fundamental reason for this war that swept the entire continent. ”

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt more and more in his heart that the telekinetic bead was created for the cultivation after solving the problem of transforming into a god.

"Today's Ming Hao, how is the connection with the Shenxiao Sect?"

Song Yunhui thought for a while and said: "It depends on how you think about this issue, I can talk to the elder of Shenxiao Sect, the last time the princely states exchanged matches, Senior Brother Zhengping also made a few friends, Shi Liangxiu has a few juniors in Shenxiao Sect, more or less connected with Shenxiao Sect, but basically they are all characters who have no right to speak, in comparison, Fu Laozu has a close relationship with Shenxiao Sect, and he also practiced in Shenxiao Sect in his early years......

Zhong Yan bowed his head and asked again: "Now how much is the tribute to the gods?" ”

Song Yunhui looked helpless and sighed: "It's even worse than before, once you pay it in ten years, six million spirit stones, converted into a prayer bead, which is almost equivalent to sixty percent of the output of Yan Kingdom in ten years!" ”

Zhong Yan complained wildly in his heart, this tax is too heavy.

Because of the proficiency of prayer, the yield of the prayer beads has not only increased significantly, but the quality has also improved, in the past, one hundred grains were equivalent to one lower grade spirit stone, and now eighty grains can almost achieve the effect of a lower grade spirit stone.

The entire Yan country has a population of more than 8 billion people, and it is stipulated that there are at least five hours of prayer every day, and every 100,000 people who pray for half an hour can get a hundred prayer beads, and ten million spirit stones will be produced in ten years, and Shenxiao Sect will take more than half!

Zhong Yan pursed his lips and said with a strange smile: "If you are strong enough, why do you need to look at the faces of others, there are so many resources, how good it is to say it yourself." ”

Song Yunhui's eyes flickered, and he said, "That's also something that can't be helped, the entire Weinan relies on the snort of the Shenxiao Sect." ”

Zhong Yan lightly buckled the table and said in a deep voice: "Give me a month, and I will give you two answers when the time comes." ”

If he lost the path of the fifth deity, he decided to deal with the inside of the Yan Kingdom first, and then go out.
