"Is it because of Zhao Jianxian's words?"

Bai Gu didn't deny it, "I can't let others know everything about me, but I can't be blind to other people's affairs, right?" ”

In front of the Velvet City Lord's Mansion, when Xue Xi and Wang Xizhou were fighting, they mentioned the Dongwu Wang's family and fought with Yutao. At that time, although Wang Xizhou's expression did not change much, his tone was obviously not as kind as usual.

Coupled with the contemptuous and disdainful tone when Zhao Jianxian mentioned the Dongwu Wang family just now, Bai Gu felt uncomfortable when he heard it, let alone the person concerned, Wang Xizhou.

However, even the Sword Immortal sneered at the Tobu Royal Family, which shows how big things were back then.

"Does Bai Gongzi know where Yutao is?"

Bai Gu shook his head.

Shen Xiang waved his sleeves, and a piece of spiritual light appeared in mid-air, turning into a map.

The map is roughly divided into two colors: light blue and blue, which represent the land and the sea, respectively. Most of them are land, and they are generally in an irregular oval shape, and there are many scattered landmasses nearby, which are presumably some islands near the sea.

"This is the earth we are stepping on now, called Yuan Chu Shizhou."

Bai Gu's face became strange.

The name...... There's an indescribable weirdness.

It's ugly!

Seeing Bai Gu's disgusted expression, Shen Xiang had no choice but to explain: "The name Shizhou at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty actually has a great origin. The beginning of the Yuan Dynasty is the beginning and source of everything. Moreover, the ancestors of our human race had a long period of Stone Age, and then slowly entered the copper and iron age. In that Stone Age, the earliest civilization and spirit of our human race were born, and some of them have been handed down to this day, which are very valuable intellectual properties. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Shizhou was named to commemorate the blood and sweat of our ancestors on this land, the imprint of the inscription, the civilization created, and the inheritance of protection. The ancestors had a rock-like will, one after another, and laid a peaceful foundation, so that we could live and work in peace and contentment on this land without worries. ”

"I see." Bai Gu put away the disgust in his heart.

"But even if our ancestors laid a peaceful foundation for us, in fact, there are still some unevenness." Shen Xiang quickly pointed to a few places on the map, basically some marginal land near the sea, "Like these border places, although there is the sea, or other natural dangers that are difficult to protect, there are still some scum that continue to harass and even attack. ”

A strange feeling rose in Bai Gu's heart, "Is it a demon?" ”

"Yes and no. The offenders come from different races, but the main body is still the demon race, and the other races are just small heads. Shen Xiang said, his eyes unconsciously swept to Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao on the bed.

The white lonely eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart, as if they don't see.

Bai Xiaoxiao was still attracted by the spiritual power map in the air.

"Jade Peach is located in the east of the sea, it is a city of strategic significance, and it is also one of the cities that are attacked by demons all year round. This place is the mouth of the great river, and behind it is the rich Jiangnan water town, the granary of fish and rice. If this place is broken, the demon side can go up the river to take the south of the Yangtze River, and then map the southern and eastern coastal areas. At that time, not only will the two coastal defense lines in the east and south become transit stations for the demon side, but they will also cut off the source of food and grass, which is equivalent to riding on us and pinching our necks! Shen Xiang pointed out a place on the map, the color of which did not represent the light cyan of the land, but a very eye-catching dark brown, "Decades ago, the demon side gathered the power of the five clans and openly invaded Yutao. The momentum was so fierce and the speed was so fast that it was the first line of defense to cross the vast sea and take the jade peach directly in one day, Wildcat Island. ”

Shen Xiang pointed out a few more places next to each other, "After breaking through Wildcat Island, the demon side did not stop, and attacked several lines of defense in a row. Even if the people stationed in the Yutao defense line resisted and asked for help in time, it was still to no avail, and when the defense line was broken, the people stationed there were all dead. At dawn the next day, the demon side had already arrived in front of Changjian Island, the last line of defense of Jade Peach, and the offensive was unabated. The demon side has the advantage in numbers, attacking regardless of life and death, even if it is ten for one, it has not weakened the slightest offensive. ”

Bai Gu listened to Shen Xiang's words, only to feel frightened, and his hands unconsciously grasped the quilt. Bai Xiaoxiao was even more frightened and shrunk into a ball, and kept squeezing into Bai Gu's arms.

"Fortunately, Changjian Island is heavily patrolled on weekdays, and the people stationed there are highly cultivated. The first few lines of defense also bought some time for Longsword Island, and the first wave of reinforcements closest to Longsword Island arrived in time, which blocked the first wave of attack on the demon side. Speaking of this, Shen Xiang sighed lightly, "Although the attack was blocked, our side still suffered heavy casualties, and the sword immortal alone lost two of them." There are even more dead garrison personnel, sect disciples, and mountain and field cultivators. And this is just the first wave of the offensive of the demon side! ”

Bai Gu's throat was dry for a while, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he stammered a little and asked, "Sword Immortal, are they all dead?" Or two? ”

Shen Xiang didn't want to admit this tragic battle situation, but this was the truth, and he couldn't deny it, "The demon side also sent several sword immortal-level figures to kill our two sword immortals with more and less wheel battles. ”

"Sword Immortal, such characters are all dead...... Bai Gu had just seen the strength and demeanor of the Sword Immortal, and now when he heard the news of the Sword Immortal's death, he fell together, and the gap was great.

Shen Xiang's tone was low, "In the face of the big war, life and death are not decided by individuals, and the sword immortal is also involuntarily. In this world, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and if you are strong, there will be someone more powerful than you. When the general trend comes, everyone is like being caught in a big wave, and death is only a fleeting thing. Not to mention the sword immortals, even saints will fall. ”

In the end, there was sentimentality in Shen Xiang's eyes.

However, Shen Xiang quickly collected his emotions and continued: "The demon side did not give up the attack, and launched a second wave of offensive the next day. The people of Longsword Island resisted to the death, and in the end it ended in a tragic victory. Because Longsword Island is Jade Peach's last line of defense, the demon side is bound to win Jade Peach, and it will definitely not retreat easily. The people of Longsword Island also understood the ambitions and plans of the demon side, and they knew the importance of Jade Peach, so they could only defend it and wait for support from other places. In this way, the people of Longsword Island confronted the demon side for seven months, during which countless attacks by the demon side were blocked by Longsword Island. It's just that the price paid by the people of Longsword Island is extremely tragic. ”

Shen Xiang drew a circle around Changjian Island, "The hundred-mile sea area near Changjian Island has been soaked in countless blood, and even the sea level has risen by three inches, and there is no longer a drop of seawater in the sea, there is only a sea of red blood. ”

Bai Gu seemed to be able to imagine the incomparably fierce battle situation, and the people of Longsword Island followed one after another, blocking the demon's attacks again and again with their lives, just to keep the land under their feet from being disturbed.

Shen Xiang suddenly changed his words, and pointed out a place above the jade peach, not much near the sea, "The Dongwu Wang family turned out to be the number one family in the east, and its background is unimaginable. There are many talents in the clan, and there will be big names in almost every generation. ”

Bai Gu slowly frowned, "So it is?" ”

"Because the team sent by the Tobu royal family to support Longsword Island escaped from the battle. And with several other support teams, they also slipped away. As soon as this incident came out, Changjian Island was already understaffed, and now it is even worse, which has led to rumors and discouragement of the army. In this way, the Long Sword Island, which had been defended for seven months, was broken, and the people who were stationed and supported were almost slaughtered, and only a few strong people were lucky enough to escape back to Jade Peach City with serious injuries. Although Yutao was well prepared, the defense line was lost, and it was almost a naked fight with the demon side. In less than two months, the Jade Peach War ended in a fiasco. Shen Xiang's eyes were gloomy, "The Dongwu Wang family was severely punished for this, several high-ranking family members directly involved apologized for their crimes with death, and the head of the Wang family was sent to the front line of the East China Sea to kill the enemy, and he was able to repay it with merit. The Wang family handed over a considerable part of the foundation, and in the future, it was necessary to provide a certain amount of resources every ten years to serve as supplies and transport them to the front lines in various places. The remaining high-ranking members of the Wang family were forcibly stripped of a realm of cultivation, confined in the ancestral land of the Wang family, and were never allowed to come out. The genius seeds of the clan were also forcibly sent to various places to earn merit to atone for the sins of the royal family. After this incident, the status of the Wang family plummeted, although it was still a family, but it was already infamous, and everyone shouted and beat it. ”

Bai Gu was very angry in his heart, and patted the quilt, "Escaping from the battle implicated the fiasco of the entire war, such a culprit is not too much to cut the whole clan, why do you keep it!" ”

Shen Xiang glanced at Bai Gu, "What Bai Gongzi thinks is actually the voice of the public at that time. Even today, there are still many people who think the same as Bai Gongzi. However, if you destroy the Tobu royal family and take their heritage, can you really comfort the heroic spirits of the Jade Peach War, make up for the losses of the Jade Peach War, and calm the world's leisurely mouths? No matter how you deal with the Tobu royal family, there will be people who will jump out to chew the root of their tongue and make a fuss. Because the Tobu royal family fled from the battle, it led to a fiasco in the Battle of Yutao, which is an indisputable fact, and no matter how it is handled, it is reasonable. But the way to deal with it and the result will only be one, and it will not satisfy everyone in the world. In addition, the demon side is eyeing each other, and they wish they could set off another civil strife because of this, so they will naturally take the opportunity to manipulate public opinion. Therefore, the disposal of the Tobu royal family can only be to maximize the use of the resources of the Tobu royal family to add combat power to other battlefields under the condition of maximum punishment. After all, it is much better to cut leeks only the leaves and be able to cut stubble after stubble than to uproot them and eat them only once. ”

Bai Gu nodded, indicating that he understood.

The head of the Wang family and the genius seeds in the clan were sent to various places to kill the enemy to earn merit and provide resources as supplies, these are punishments, but also to add combat power to other battlefields, and at the same time, they are also sharpening the Dao heart and Taoism of these people.

If you can break through the realm, or even step into the upper three realms, and relieve some pressure on other battlefields, it will naturally be the best news for the border defense situation in Shizhou at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

Shen Xiang pondered for a moment, and still said something that was not too big, but not too small, "Actually, if you really want to count it, Liuxue and the Dongwu Wang family have a grudge. ”
