Chapter 51: Concentrate Efforts and Make Breakthroughs in Key Areas (2 Larger Chapters to Follow-up)
It was the first time she participated in the gathering of several true brothers, not to mention what she had gained, and the whole process was free of danger and peace of mind.
For some time after that, Meng Zhou went to such a gathering twice.
Although she has never deliberately expressed herself, she has unconsciously become a small opinion leader.
At the first meeting, the other Tsukiki Shinden brothers would occasionally ask for their opinions, taking advantage of the "beautiful junior sister".
If she just said something innocuous and insignificant, it would have faded away in the subsequent meetings.
But whether she asks questions or expresses opinions, she can be to the point.
Not to say a word that is thought-provoking, at least let people understand that she really understands their conversation, and can occasionally provide some valuable references, the original simple care for the junior sister has disappeared, but really regarded her as a very important member of the party participants.
To do all this, Meng Zhou didn't use much force, but collected a lot of force.
If the topic that these senior brothers are talking about is related to cultivation, then she, the little junior sister who has not yet built a foundation, will naturally have to listen obediently.
But their frequent gatherings these days are all related to this major strategic adjustment of the sect, and it is all practical, and for her, there is nothing that she can't understand or understand.
In fact, with the vision of the government that she had occasionally used in her previous life and the faint talent of steel in her bones, she thought that these senior brothers were also a pioneer in cultivation, and in other aspects, they were actually very simple.
Sometimes their speeches even remind him of college students in his previous life, clear and lovely.
Becoming a small opinion leader in this gathering is the result of her great restraint.
At the fourth meeting, Hao Zhen first shared the arrangements that the sect had made around several second-order spirit veins during this opportunity, and then habitually looked at Meng Zhou.
"Senior Sister Xia, what do you think?"
After a few gatherings, it has become a natural habit.
Several other senior brothers also looked at her.
Meng Zhou didn't answer immediately this time, but muttered for a long time, until his appetite was fully aroused, and then he spoke.
The first words were unexpected.
"Senior brothers, please forgive my sister for being rude, I want to say a few words that offend the elder."
Several senior brothers were stunned, and after a while, Hao Zhen was the first to react and said sincerely:
"Senior sister, just say anything!
The door allows us to participate more in the affairs of the sect, which has the intention of checking and filling in the gaps.
As long as you are right and reasonable, how can they feel offended if they can't ask for it? β
Meng Zhou nodded.
"After participating in these gatherings, I have a basic understanding of the ideas and arrangements of the sect, and I also have some ideas."
"First of all, as for the fact that the sect wants to take advantage of the sudden increase in strange events in various places, I think that both the idea itself and the timing are very correct, and they are almost stepping on the best node.
Therefore, I firmly agree with the intention and motivation of this matter. β
Meng Zhou first showed everyone his firm position, and after a pause, he continued:
"But the specific operation, IMHO, I only have eight words, lackluster and unfocused."
As soon as she said this, the eyes of several senior brothers widened, and Jing Wan'er, Xu Wei, and Fan Ling were even more dumbfounded, and they couldn't hide their worry in their eyes.
Eight words have abolished the efforts of many people in the sect for nearly half a year, it is simply - arrogant!
Hao Zhen pondered his emotions for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, can you speak more carefully?" β
"Senior brother, what is our fundamental purpose?"
"Get out of Qinglin Peak and truly spread your power to all parts of the territory."
"Then do you think that with the current approach, how much effect can it have in the end?"
Hao Zhen was silent for a while, and asked rhetorically: "How much effect does Senior Sister think?" β
"I don't think it will have much effect, and it may even be counterproductive." Meng Zhou said very directly.
"How so?" Another named Tang Jian, who was secretly labeled as "clear and lovely" by Meng Zhou, asked in surprise, and his expression was full of disbelief.
"We are now taking advantage of the sudden increase in strange events to break the previous routine and send a large number of people everywhere.
But in the end, this is not the case, and it can be seen from the recent feedback from various places that the strange incidents in various places are rapidly decreasing.
So, Senior Brother Tang, what do you think should be done with the large number of people who are now distributed everywhere when the anomalies disappear everywhere and return to normal? β
"Uh......" Tang Jian turned his head directly to look at Hao Zhen, as if he wanted to seek help from relatives and friends.
Meng Zhou didn't wait for them to answer, and said to himself:
"Withdraw it, I don't think anyone will be reconciled! Wouldn't this be a waste of work?
Stay, it's not appropriate.
The sect is now putting too many people in various places, and this state is unconventional.
Therefore, a large number of people who are now arranged will slowly take it back after all, leaving only a small part in various places to maintain long-term influence. β
Speaking of this, she looked at Hao Zhen and asked, "Senior brother, I guessed well, right?" β
Hao Zhen nodded: "That's roughly the case." β
Meng Zhou shook his head: "It's too soft, it doesn't have the courage of a third-order great sect at all, and besides, there is some wishful thinking." β
Hao Zhen's face was black.
"What is the purpose of making such a big disturbance now, can't you see it?
Will you do nothing and watch us succeed? β
Tang Jian said: "Otherwise? Do they dare to kill our people? β
"What about killing?" Meng Zhou asked rhetorically.
Tang Jian glared: "Then they don't want to live!" β
Meng Zhou asked, "Do you know who killed him?" You can't be the murderer who dies on anyone's turf, right?
Such a simple framing is still taught?
We don't want to break the situation by force, don't we just don't want the situation that has been stabilized to become chaotic again?
If you really want to start this reason, believe it or not, it won't be long before such chaos happens everywhere!
Do you think, apart from ourselves, how many of us are really looking forward to our getting better and better? β
Hao Zhen's heart moved, but at this moment, what he was thinking of was not those forces in the territory under his jurisdiction, but other third-order forces like Qingxuanzong, who had become the biggest beneficiaries of the shrinkage of the Star Palace.
He didn't know what others thought, if the other third-order forces were frustrated in their development, he would indeed be happy to see this.
So, what about them?
Hao Zhen reflected that this was indeed an aspect that the sect had not considered.
Habitually treating the current strategic adjustment as a purely internal affair may really cause a big loss if this negligence is made.
His attitude became more and more solemn, and finally, he looked at Meng Zhou and asked in a posture of seeking advice:
"Then junior sister, what do you think is the best thing to do?"
"Eight words, concentrate on strength, and focus on breakthroughs."
She first set the general tone, and explained in more detail when Hao Zhen was still chewing slowly:
"Not only is this unfocused, but the longer it lasts, the more aggressive it becomes, the more it will cause resistance.
In this case, why not take the initiative to take back the manpower scattered everywhere, leave no one behind, and really characterize this large-scale operation as a measure to deal with the sudden increase in strange incidents.
Then, with absolute power, we will take one or two valuable spiritual vein strongholds and firmly hold them in our own hands.
Our manpower scattered everywhere will cause the sect to be empty, but if it is only concentrated in one or two places, there is no problem.
Isn't this a real expansion better than the original strategy? β
Meng Zhouxu clenched his fists, "This is called a hundred birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand!" β
Hao Zhen and the others were still slowly digesting, and Tang Jian had already retorted:
"Senior sister, if you really did it like this, the sect would have done it a long time ago! Still waiting? β
Meng Zhou nodded: "I understand, Qingxuanzong is now ashore, he is a decent family, and he must pay attention to doing things and have rules." β
"Uh......" Tang Jian wanted to refute, but he was short of words for a while.
She has continued:
"It's not simple, isn't it just a justifiable excuse to declare war?
If there is no ready-made one, let's make one for him! β
Before the others could react, Hao Zhen's eyes were already shining, and he leaned forward slightly, and said, "Senior sister, what do you think?" β
Meng Zhou was about to speak, but he looked left and right, suddenly hesitated, and stopped talking.
"What? Concerns? Hao Zhen asked.
As he spoke, he quietly waved his hand, trying to send the others away first.
The others were about to get up and leave, but Meng Zhou had already spoken, "Senior brother, in your eyes, am I a scheming, cold-blooded and ruthless person?" β
Jing Wan'er's eyes widened beside her, and Xu Fan and the others were also stunned.
Hao Zhen said solemnly: "How come, junior sister Xiuwai Huizhong, I don't want to talk about having a delicate heart."
What is even more rare is that he is delicate and willing to quietly maintain our friendship.
With your participation, not only is our gathering more interesting, but our relationship is also significantly closer than before.
I don't know if other people have seen it, but I know that this is all the work of my sister! β
Speaking of this, he did not hesitate to praise: "This intention is even more rare than your intelligence and cleverness!" β
Xu Wei and Fan Ling both nodded seriously, and their feelings were deeper than Hao Zhen's.
Jing Wan'er also nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice.
Meng Zhou took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell significantly, to show that her mood was very uncalm at the moment.
Then, she closed her eyes slightly and clenched her delicate fists, as if to give herself strength in this way.
She no longer had the slightest hesitation, and said directly:
"If my brother asks me, I'll tell him.
The pretext for declaring war that comes to mind is simple and will gag everyone's mouth! β
Hao Zhen held his breath and stared at her without blinking, for fear of disrupting her train of thought.
"If which force kills our people first, is this reason enough?" She said softly.
Hao Zhen stiffened, as if he had been hit by a fixation technique.
Tang Jian was puzzled: "What are these words, who would be so blind?" β
"Then find a way to keep his eyes open!" She whispered back.
Tang Jian opened his mouth and looked at the beautiful junior sister who was close at hand.
She spoke with her eyes slightly closed, her eyelashes curled up one by one, and he was still a little excited just now.
But now, he only felt creepy, and his whole body was cold.
He was so frightened that he quickly looked away.
As if sensing his change, "Senior Sister Xia's" slightly closed eyes trembled even more, the fists made into her hands were clenched tighter, and her nails were about to pierce into her palms.
Hao Zhen, who seemed to have been hit by the immobilization technique, immediately came to life and slapped Tang Jian on the head.
Then he said to Meng Zhou: "Senior sister, I am going to see the master right now." But I have something to say to you first! β
"Master often sighs that as the true lineage of the sect, he has the responsibility to take on the future of the entire sect.
In this position, emotional, naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, not kindness, but dereliction of duty!
We, all of them are not qualified! β
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed his hand on her shoulder.
"Now, with you!"
"All of our senior brothers and sisters have to thank you, because of you, Master and they will never be so disappointed in us again!"
"Don't blame yourself for this!"
"If any bastard dares to look at you in a different way because of this, I'll skin him!"
As he spoke, he looked directly at Tang Jian, who was holding his head and stunned, and shouted, "It's you!" β
