Chapter 197: The Joining Forces of the Three Great Northern Barbarian Clans
And these weapons are not like the kind of weapons that the Shu army has, but the quenching temperature is extremely high, which causes the hardness and wind degree of the weapon to rise sharply.
Rather, it's more like a weapon forged by a skilled forger.
This is also in line with the quality of Roselle Villa's previous productions, and weapons of the same level will be stronger in the hands of Roselle Villa than in other places.
Such a situation seems to be a reasonable and normal phenomenon for the rivers and lakes and for the court.
Of course, this was only before Liu Xin's memories appeared.
It was under the premise that Liu Xin did not tell His Majesty the Emperor about the possibility of the irreversible situation caused by the Jianghu incident caused by the eighteen exquisite weapons, and told Mi Yusong.
And in this situation now, most of the people in the imperial court don't have much feeling about it.
However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have begun to secretly investigate the source of this batch of weapons.
They had to find out if the weapons were really stolen from inside Roselle Villa.
Liu Xin felt more and more that there was a hint of strangeness in this matter.
But after Liulang and Duguyue left Roselle Villa, they had no intention of going back.
Liu Xin wanted to continue the investigation, but Dai De'an passed him a secret letter from Mi Yusong.
The secret letter talked about this matter, but Mi Yusong meant to ask Liu Xin not to continue the investigation or not to investigate in person.
It's not a good thing to figure out this matter too quickly, but it will be more beneficial to the investigation of this matter if it is precipitated.
And because of Liu Xin's relationship, the imperial court has already paid attention to this matter, and it will not easily let this matter pass.
With the attention of the imperial court.
It won't cause too much harm like Liu Xin's memory.
Liu Xin didn't know how Mi Yusong recognized himself, and he obviously reported this information through layers of cover-ups.
It stands to reason that he can't be found at all, but Mi Yusong directly asked Dai De'an to pass the secret letter to him.
Of course, it's not a big deal if this matter is recognized.
Liu Xin also agreed with the situation mentioned in Mi Yusong's secret letter, this matter is indeed not something that can be found out if you investigate it head-on.
Instead, it may be better to settle down a little and investigate slowly.
Of course, in addition to the matter of weapons, he also truthfully reported the situation of the True Demon Sect within Roselle Villa.
He didn't have any intention of investigating by himself, so what if he could find out.
On the contrary, it may be more effective to let the imperial court investigate, and let Jinyiwei and Dongchang investigate.
At the same time, it can also exercise the young people inside Jinyiwei and the East Factory.
Dugu Yueyue let people pass a letter into Roselle Villa.
Inside Luoshen Villa, Dugu Xuanqing personally led people to welcome Dugu Yueyue back.
And Liulang did not follow Dugu Yueyue under Liu Xin's suggestion, after all, she was the granddaughter of Dugu Shidao.
In addition, Dugu Xuanqing's kid is a sister control, and he cares about her sister very much.
Dugu Yueyue can go back this time to be safe.
But if Rokuro goes, things may not be the same.
Rokuro also understands this truth, he is not stupid, and he can think clearly about these joints.
However, because after the previous incident, Liulang showed some distrust of Dugu Yueyue, and the relationship between the two was a little frozen and frozen, and during the time they left Roselle Villa, the two hardly said anything.
Now the situation has just improved, and the communication between the two has increased, in fact, Liulang still wants to go back with Dugu Yueyue, but in the end he still didn't insist.
He trusted the judgment of his elder brother, who must be for his own good.
And Liulang has indeed reached a bottleneck, he needs to break through himself, otherwise, he himself feels that he is not worthy of Dugu Yueyue.
There is no confidence to go to Roselle Villa.
Even if he was a disciple of the Holy Sect, he was just an ordinary inner disciple.
For the outside world, this identity seems remarkable.
But for Luoshen Villa at the same level, Dugu Yueyue is the granddaughter of the sect master after all, and she is much stronger than him, an inner disciple.
So, Rokuro began his retreat.
Liu Xin continued to start his own patrol road.
After the incident of Luoshen Villa, he did not rush to Huguang, but started to investigate nearby.
After about half a year, he figured out the situation in Jinyiwei and other provinces, and also put forward some suggestions with Dai De'an.
The overall situation of Jinyiwei is much better than that of Wang Zhongjie's previous period.
In the past six months, the world has basically been quite peaceful.
It's just that Qin Guogong and Wu Guogong are constantly fighting from the north and south, and they are training outside Sichuan Province.
Sichuan Province is already a frightened bird, although Sichuan Province is a hard bone, but if Zhengyang is the same as before dealing with the South China Sea, it will do whatever it takes.
is just a province in Sichuan, and it still can't compete with Zhengyang, but Zhengyang will break its muscles and bones because of it.
If it weren't for the fact that Beiban was ready to move these days, the Duke of Shu would have been nervous a long time ago.
Without the containment of the Northern Barbarians, his Sichuan Province will become very uncomfortable, and the abdomen and back are still light by the enemy.
And you know your own things.
Because of the relationship between Wu Guogong and Qin Guogong, the constant harassment between the north and the south caused the batch of exquisite weapons in the hands of Shu Guogong to flow into his hands.
Roselle Villa is still in the dilemma of being surrounded by rivers and lakes.
However, the situation is much better than before, and even the Holy Sect has come to the aid and sent some masters to guard it, of course, sending people out to get paid.
The number of weapons paid by Roselle Villa for this is enough to empty his family.
At this time, the imperial court also re-established contact with Roselle Villa, of course, the transaction price was much lower than before, and Roselle Villa could only grit its teeth and accept it in order to seek the help of the imperial court.
In the end, there was no way for those rivers and lakes who were entrenched outside of Roselle Villa to continue to gather there in piles.
But the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes has been reduced to zero, and it has happened from time to time that one by one they have become bandits and take advantage of loopholes to invade the interior of Roselle Villa.
Therefore, the number of these people who were killed by Luoshen Mountain Villa and the masters of the major sects is unknown.
The imperial court also sent people into Luoshen Mountain Villa, and also investigated the deserted mountain range that Liu Xin said, and indeed found traces of many people's lives, but when the people of the imperial court entered, it was already empty.
It seems that Liu Xin rescued Dugu Yueyue and Liulang, which still aroused their vigilance.
But this is also a normal situation, after all, people have been saved, and it is impossible to continue to stay in the same place.
However, the imperial court has secretly investigated the traces of the True Demon Sect in various places, and as long as it finds news that someone is crazy, it will strictly search that area.
The True Demon Sect also quieted down a lot in the process.
The imperial court also secretly contacted Dugu Shidao and told him the problem of Dugu's father and son and the Fan family straightforwardly.
Dugu Shidao also simply sent someone to seal the Seven Bitter Mountains.
As a result, the people on the Seven Bitter Mountains were willing to be sealed, and they were willing to live on the Seven Bitter Mountains forever after only one request, and they would not come down!
After discussing with the imperial court and getting Mi Yusong's approval, iron food was constantly sent to Qikushan Mountain.
Except for these things, the whole world seems to be extremely calm.
It's November, and the weather is getting colder.
There are even signs of light snow in the north, and this year the snow is a little earlier than usual.
And under this celestial phenomenon, the situation may be even worse in the Beiban steppe further north.
In order to deal with unexpected events.
Wu Guogong, who had been constantly training troops from the north and south, withdrew and began to live a life of guarding the border passes.
And Qin Guogong couldn't hold such a big stall by himself, so he stationed troops outside several key roads in Sichuan Province and choked the throat of Shu Guogong.
The situation in the world seems to be about to undergo some changes.
Rokuro finally went to Roselle Villa during this period.
He broke through!
I don't know if it's because of the state of mind or some other reason, he actually broke through to the middle grade Dacheng realm!
This kind of cultivation also made him more confident.
However, according to Siniang's research, he found that the bronze short sword in Liulang's hand may be the reason for his cultivation to skyrocket.
However, after Liu Xin knew about this matter, he knew that the result was neither good nor bad.
The marriage of Rokuro and Dugu Yueyue will be held soon, and the date is set at that time of the New Year.
But Roselle Villa said that the married daughter spilled the water, and Roselle Villa would offer a superb weapon as a dowry, but other than that, there was nothing else.
When he heard the news, Liu Xin couldn't help frowning, he thought of a small piece of news about Dugu Shidao.
I heard that the head of this top sect has very serious symptoms of patriarchy.
When I was young, I used to say that women don't enter the martial arts.
Of course, a superb weapon is naturally extremely precious.
But this class of Roselle Mountain Villa can be regarded as a little ruthless.
But fortunately, Dugu Yueyue and Rokuro don't care.
After not seeing each other for half a year, the two reunited again and became glue again.
This matter is naturally decided, I heard that Rokuro is going to get married, and the brothers and sisters will naturally come back.
The time for Liu Xin to return to the imperial capital was also set at that time.
Except for the fifth uncle who guarded the border with Wu Guogong.
The rest should be able to come back.
Xiao Qi and Gou San'er have gained a lot of benefits in Sichuan Province, and they will bring them back together this time.
Liu Xin rode on the back of a red rabbit horse, holding the information transmitted by the secret investigation team and the Jinyi Guard.
Of course, above the information in these two places, there was a secret letter from Fifth Uncle Zuo Changyu, a secret letter specially given to him.
Liu Xin once asked the brothers and sisters in various places to keep an eye on the whereabouts of a person.
Jiang Chong!
When he found out that Li Cundao was Jiang Buwei's grandson from the attribute panel, the character Jiang Chong reappeared in his mind.
In memory, Jiang Chong should have served under Wu Guogong.
Therefore, Liu Xin focused on getting the fifth uncle to pay attention.
Now the news has returned.
Jiang Chong was really under the command of Wu Guogong, and he followed Wu Guogong as a general counselor.
That is, Wu Guogong's secretary.
This can be regarded as becoming half of Wu Guogong's disciple.
However, now the fifth uncle is starting as a small soldier, so he can't contact Jiang Chong yet.
However, the fifth uncle said in the letter that he was confident that he would come to the same position as Jiang Chong within a year.
This made Liu Xin relieved, but also worried about the situation in the north.
The fifth uncle was secretly telling him that something might be going to happen in the north!
After Liu Xin returned to the imperial capital to report on his work, Dai De'an gave him a long vacation.
If it is peaceful today, it is also quite peaceful in the imperial capital.
During this time, His Majesty the Emperor ordered Dongchang, Jinyiwei and other pro-forces to carry out the final trial of the Nanhai clan.
The rebellion of the Nanhai Shi clan involved a lot, if you really want to kill all these people and deal with them all according to the top charges of the Jiu clan, I am afraid that there will be no one in the entire South China Sea to watch for the emperor.
After all, it is also a family that has been rooted there for hundreds of years.
The impact is still very large.
And if you really want to let someone in the court send to deal with the South China Sea affairs, if everyone is really killed, I'm afraid no one will dare to go.
Therefore, in the end, after many discussions, His Majesty the Emperor opened up.
For the group of people who played a key and leading role in the rebellion of the Nanhai Shi clan, of course, it is an unforgivable crime, and the Nine Clans are punished!
The rest of the participants, the three clans!
It turns out that he is only the one who is being coerced, and only the culprit is killed.
As a result, the number of people who have really been killed by the Nanhai Shi clan is less than the previous one.
This figure is already acceptable to everyone.
However, it is still a little difficult to distinguish between these three types of crimes.
After all, the original Nanhai Shi clan can be regarded as a monolith, and the internal situation needs to be checked one by one.
They are even required to testify against each other.
It takes a little time and effort.
Dongchang and Jinyiwei are experts in this area, and this matter is naturally to be handed over to them.
And Liu Xin just came back to report on his work, and this work has been carried out for more than a month, so Dai De'an simply gave him a long vacation.
During the time that Liu Xin was out, his cultivation was further consolidated.
According to his estimates, if he uses the attribute panel to measure his current cultivation, it is at least the middle stage of the mid-grade Dacheng realm.
It's not too far away from the late stage.
Because now he can use the power of the stars absorbed by the star change into internal force.
And the ratio of this conversion is one to one.
In other words, his current cultivation speed is actually doubled.
And even more...
Although the power of the stars is most active at night, it is not absent during the day.
It's just that the power of the stars absorbed during the day will be slightly less.
But after all, it's all redundant.
That's why Liu Xin's strength is so stable.
After returning to the imperial capital, Mi Yusong personally received him.
The two sat together and talked about the incident of half a year ago.
Mi Yusong has not relaxed his investigation of the True Demon Sect in the past half a year.
It is also true that the demon caves of the True Demon Sect have been found in various places.
And the investigation of those weapons in Roselle Villa also has a result.
Those weapons were indeed from Roselle Villa.
Moreover, it comes from the Seven Bitter Mountain, and most of the weapons can match a refiner on the Seven Bitter Mountain.
Moreover, both the material of the weapons and the forging techniques are completely different from the weapons of the Duke of Shu.
So for the time being, there is nothing suspicious about Roselle Villa.
As for the father and son of the two Dugu families on the Seven Bitter Mountain.
The imperial court has also been investigated.
And the person in charge of the investigation is Yuan Dongxiang.
Liu Xin has a lot of trust in his abilities.
And the final investigation result was that the father and son of the Dugu family had not descended the mountain for three or four years.
And there is no suspicious situation in the interior of Roselle Villa.
Therefore, the father and son were finally handed over to Roselle Mountain Villa to dispose of themselves.
And the disposal of Roselle Villa is to close the mountain.
Together with the Fan family, they were sealed on the Seven Bitter Mountains.
Of course, there are also a group of people who have left the Seven Bitter Mountains.
The rest are all people who are willing to spend the rest of their lives on the Seven Bitter Mountains.
The imperial court also arranged for a cavalry squad to be stationed at the foot of the Seven Bitter Mountains.
As long as someone is found to have left the Seven Bitter Mountains without authorization, the entire mountain will be wiped out.
This can be regarded as a shackle imposed by the imperial court on these people.
Of course, the most critical factor in this is actually Liu Xin.
Liu Xin truthfully reported the results of his interrogation of Dugu Yunhui.
This will be exchanged for the current disposal plan, otherwise, the imperial court's attitude towards the True Demon Sect would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.
There was nothing to do, and in the following month, Xiao Qi and Gou San'er finally came back.
Xiong Er, who has not heard from him for more than a year, also has news.
But what is surprising is that Xiong Er actually appeared at the border.
And his news was transmitted back by the secret investigation team on his own initiative, but it was not the news that Xiong Er took the initiative to send back.
Liu Xin tried to get in touch with Xiong Er, but the few letters sent were all in vain, and there was no reply at all.
The investigation of the South China Sea incident was finally completed as the year drew on.
In addition to the families of several leaders such as Yue Guogong and the Huang family, who completed the purging of the Zhujiu clan, the rest of those who were arrested and imprisoned also gave them hope to live for a longer period of time.
The year after that is their death.
The imperial court also sent many ministers to the South China Sea.
Among them even included a scholar of the university and a historian of the left capital.
These two are the most powerful figures among the civil servants.
And both of them are the most trusted objects of Emperor Xuyang.
The emperor exempted the four provinces of Nanhai from taxes for three years.
And in the autumn harvest of the first year, the South China Sea gave Emperor Xuyang a surprise.
The people of the four provinces in the South China Sea took the initiative to pay taxes.
In the end, it is even 50% more than the tax revenue of previous years.
Even these taxes are paid by the common people willingly.
Although the four provinces of the South China Sea are the land of fish and rice, some places can even achieve three crops a year.
In most places, it is also harvested twice a year.
But in previous years, the taxes paid were always that little.
As soon as the landlords and gentry were eliminated and the land was returned to the common people, the tax revenue rose by fifty percent, and there were still many places that missed the results of the first quarter.
So if all the people can sow seeds according to the time of the next year, won't the tax revenue be doubled compared to previous years?
With such a result, no one in the whole country dared to openly oppose it or say that Emperor Xuyang's previous approach was wrong.
Emperor Xuyang's momentum has also reached a peak state.
However, at this time, Liu Xin also had some thoughts in his heart, that is, what did the king of Xuzhou want.
There is obviously his manipulation behind the affairs of the South China Sea, not even him, but also the mysterious Sun Gongzi.
Under the unanimous efforts of many forces, the South China Sea was defeated neatly.
But it's been more than half a year, and the king of Xuzhou County hasn't made any moves, which is what Liu Xin can't figure out.
However, since the king of Xuzhou County chose to hibernate, Liu Xin would not take the initiative to talk about it.
In his heart, he always felt that the king of Xuzhou was not a bad person.
At least what he did was for the sake of the people.
Actually, it's not entirely for this reason.
Liu Xin's heart was a little resistant to report the matter of King Xuzhou.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he chose to follow his heart.
Fast forward and another month passed.
Of course, Liu Xin really joined the affairs of Jinyiwei's high-level management.
He also had the opportunity to go up to the pilgrimage.
He was a little surprised, but he naturally found that the Emperor Xuyang in reality was exactly the same as what he remembered.
Even the tone of speech, every look, and every action are very familiar to Liu Xin.
He was familiar with him, as if he had really experienced contact with Emperor Xuyang for a long time.
This was the one thing that surprised him the most.
He had always thought of his memory as a glimpse of a future event that God had given him.
It can also be called prophecy.
But now, from the emotional connection with Emperor Xuyang, Liu Xin found that this matter was not so simple.
Even Liu Xin's mind immediately popped up with an unbelievable idea.
Could it be possible that the things that appeared in his memory were all things that he had actually experienced.
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the familiarity with the emperor that appeared in him.
Time is spent in a smooth way.
Soon the new year is coming.
The wedding of Liulang and Dugu Yueyue was held in the imperial capital.
Dugu Xuanqing finally reappeared after a year.
His cultivation has also made full progress, and he is only one step away from breaking through the Lower Grade Dacheng Realm.
But Liu Xin faintly felt that his temperament had changed drastically.
Of course, it's not that this temperament is bad, but he may have been a little more enthusiastic and young in the past.
But now it's more calm, and the city is deeper.
That's probably a good thing.
In addition, Xiao Qi and Gou San'er also returned to the imperial capital and attended Liulang's wedding.
In addition to Xiong Er, although the fifth uncle was at the border, he also sent his blessings and a little gift.
Only Xiong Er is still silent.
This wedding also attracted the participation of several bigwigs such as Dai De'an.
Of course, they just came forward, nodded, gave a gift, and gave a compliment.
It's actually just going through the motions.
But this has also given Rokuro enough face.
Rokuro is now a middle-grade master, and while cultivating as a breakthrough, his self-confidence has also come up.
But after Rokuro's wedding, everyone quickly went their separate ways.
Although Dugu Yueyue is the daughter of Luoshen Villa.
But she still took care of some of the internal affairs of Roselle Villa.
Rokuro naturally wanted to help her share some of the burden.
And after the two get married, it stands to reason that they will go back to the Holy Sect.
So soon after the clarification, Liulang took Dugu Yueyue to the Holy Sect first, and then went to control the Dugu family's business.
And Liu Xin, after sending away Xiao Qi and Gou San'er, received orders from the Holy Sect and Jinyiwei respectively.
Both orders have the same destination.
Northern Barbarian Grassland!
The Holy Sect and the Jinyi Guard both mentioned that the three major clans of the Northern Barbarians joined forces!
