Yuzhou.

Seven Xuanzong.

The courtyard behind the main hall of the main peak.

Qi Zhiyuan, the elder and acting head of the sect, was sitting under an ancient pine tree, holding a book in his hand and looking at it.

Next to Qi Zhiyuan, a middle-aged man wearing the robe of the Seven Xuan Protector was standing respectfully on the side, reporting to Qi Zhiyuan a lot of information from other states.

“…… Above, the remnants of the Haoran Sect and the main force of the Qinglian Sect were completely defeated by the Zhenbei Army, and the remnants of the Qinglian Sect have withdrawn from Hanzhou, and now the Zhenbei Mansion has annexed Beizhou, Hanzhou, and Youzhou, and governs the land of the three states. ”

Qi Zhiyuan listened to the Dharma protector's narration, put down the book in his hand, and said slowly: "After the capture of Youzhou, Zhenbei Mansion should not use troops again in a short period of time, but after this battle, Zhenbei Mansion has grown by three points. ”

Zhenbei Province.

That is, the provincial government that nominally governs the eleven states of Hanbei Province, and is also responsible for containing the 'Zhenbei King' who sits on the border of Beizhou, but when the Daxuan Imperial Court is gradually declining, Zhenbei Mansion has actually existed in name only.

Today's Zhenbei Mansion has been reduced to a banner manipulated by the king of Zhenbei, under the banner of Zhenbei Mansion, sending troops to various state capitals, and has defeated Haoran Sect, Northern Han Sect and Qinglian Sect in ten years, and now it is completely sitting on the land of the three states of Hanbei Province, and has become the most powerful force in Hanbei Province today.

"Elder Qi, that one is ambitious, I'm afraid his eyes are not limited to the land of Sanzhou......"

The Dharma Protector next to him spoke worriedly.

Although Yuzhou is not connected to Beizhou, Hanzhou and Youzhou, but now the land of the three states is under the jurisdiction of Zhenbei Mansion, if there is one day in the future, maybe Yuzhou will also become a land of war.

In fact, when Zhenbei Mansion attacked Youzhou, the Qinglian Sect also asked the Seven Xuanzong for help, but the Seven Xuanzong considered that the distance between Youzhou was too far, and the Zhenbei Mansion was to defeat the Qinglian Sect and take Youzhou, and there was no threat to Yuzhou for the time being.

Let alone.

Great sects like Haoran Sect and Qinglian Sect are not so easy to destroy, even if the Haoran Sect was originally captured in the land of Beizhou, the establishment of the sect is still intact now, but it has lost control of the land of Beizhou, and has to move the sect, and then it will join the Qinglian Sect to resist the troops of Zhenbei Mansion.

In addition, Kuzhou and Songzhou, which are adjacent to Youzhou, have unclear attitudes towards the great sects of these two states, 'Wusheng Temple' and 'Tianyahai Pavilion', which is also one of the reasons why the Seven Xuanzong finally chose to sit and watch the battle of Youzhou.

After all.

If the Tianya Pavilion or the Wusheng Temple has secretly united with the Zhenbei Mansion, then traveling thousands of miles to support the Qinglian Sect is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, although it is unlikely that a group of old monks from the Wusheng Temple will be able to say otherwise.

What's more, the Seven Xuanzong is not monolithic, many old peak masters and elders are not interested in the chaos in the states of Hanbei Dao, and they have no idea of fighting, and even the sect master is now in retreat all year round, ignoring the affairs of the sect, and all of them are handed over to Qi Zhiyuan, the 'acting head of the sect', and it is precisely because of this that the Seven Xuanzong has been closed for many years.

"The heart of the king of Zhenbei is well known, but what can it be?"

Qi Zhiyuan said quietly: "If you want to unify Hanbei Dao, it is not something that can be done in a short time, nor can it be crushed by force alone, in the past, when the Great Xuan was at its peak, there were still so many sects in the world, and what is the current Zhenbei Mansion, not to mention that when it is really time to choose, can you know which side is the most correct?" ”

"This ......"

The Dharma Protector looked hesitant.

Indeed, if there is chaos today, except for the relatively stable eleven states of 'Gyeonggi Province' where Zhongzhou is located, the rest of the world is basically like Hanbei Province, and some places are even more chaotic, which is not as good as Hanbei Province.

The eleven states of Hanbei Dao, such as the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Xuanji Pavilion and many other sects, all have different ideas, some are radical, some are conservative, and they are all big sects that have a decisive weight on the land of the eleven states, which can be described as a mess.

Zhenbei Mansion is ambitious, Xuanji Pavilion is also secretive, Tianjian Gate only focuses on martial arts, Hehuan Sect and Blood Hidden Building are even more difficult to guess, at present, the Seven Xuanzong and Xuanji Pavilion are faintly opposed, and there is indeed no time to care.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, don't think so much, the general trend of the world is like this, at most, it is back to the past, when I wait for all the sects in the world to obey the orders of the dynasty, what can the worst go?"

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head and said.

Like the Seven Xuanzong, a large sect standing at the apex of a state, as long as the sect has a continuous inheritance, and there are top martial arts powerhouses, and the foundation is deep, it is often difficult to collapse because of one or two battles.

Zhenbei Mansion pacifies the land of Sanzhou, why don't you kill Haoran Sect and Qinglian Sect?

Haoran Sect also has a blood-exchange realm!

It is easy to kill ordinary disciples, but it is difficult to kill such a top powerhouse, once you completely provoke one, you can shoot everywhere without any scruples, even if it is Zhenbei Mansion, it is also difficult to deal with it, but it is to retain the general structure of the Haoran Sect and the Qinglian Sect, so that these top powerhouses can also be fearful, and they will not mess around, and they will reach a tacit understanding with each other.

Of course, if the sect does not have the ultimate existence of the blood exchange realm, then there is indeed the possibility of destroying the sect, but it is only possible...... Like the Blood Hidden Building, it existed hundreds of years ago, and was chased and suppressed by the Demon Gate that had been listed as illegal and forbidden by the Daxuan Imperial Court, but it was not completely eradicated for hundreds of years, and now when the troubled times came, it immediately returned to the bright side.

Even.

The Heavenly Corpse Gate, which was the enemy of the whole world back then, has begun to resurrect now, not only did Yu County excavate its traces before, but now according to intelligence, there are remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate in several states.

The top existence of the Blood Exchange Realm, the Seven Xuanzong naturally also has it, and this is also the confidence of the Seven Xuanzong Standing in Yuzhou and being able to sit back and watch the rebellion in the eleven states of the Hanbei Dao, at least with such a figure standing at the apex of the martial arts, no party will fight to the end with the Seven Xuanzong, and there will always be a leeway.

"Speaking of which, compared to the situation in Hanbei Province, have you read the 'rookie spectrum of Hanbei Province' listed by the Tianya Sea Pavilion?"

Qi Zhiyuan patted the book in his hand suddenly, smiled at the Dharma protector, and said, "There are four people in my Seven Xuanzong on the list, but it's not bad. ”

I saw that on the cover of that book, there were the words "Hanbei Road Rookie Spectrum" with a brand-new "Hanbei Road Rookie Spectrum".

Dharma Protector Qiao Yue was slightly stunned, and then said with some hesitation: "I have seen it, a total of fifty people have been included, but our Seven Xuanzong seems to only have Zhou Hao of Taixuan Peak, Ling Zecheng of Shangxuan Peak, and Lu Gong of Tianxuan Peak, and only three ......."

"Hahaha."

Qi Zhiyuan smiled when he heard this: "The one from Yujun, although he is not the true inheritance of my Seven Xuanzong at the moment, why is he not my Seven Xuanzong disciples?" ”

Protector Qiao Yue suddenly said, "It's me who forgot about it." ”

He also heard of Chen Mu's name, after all, he was better than the Heavenly Sword Gate Gu Hong, Hehuan Sect Hua Langying, it is said that there seem to be two true legends in the Xuanji Pavilion who are suspected of dying in the hands of Chen Mu, and when he learned the news in those days, his heart was still shocked, but he didn't expect that there would be such a character in Yu County, the most remote county under Yuzhou.

Qi Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing.

A supreme genius like Chen Mu, who is comparable to Zhou Hao of Taixuan Peak, is naturally as much as possible for the Seven Xuanzong, he has already ordered someone to lead Chen Mu into the sect, and after Chen Mu enters the sect, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will have the strength to fight with Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao was too prominent in the Seven Xuanzong before, and there was no opponent at all, so that his cultivation was a little slack, and after being defeated by Zuo Qianqiu, he finally rose up a lot, and when Chen Mu came to the Seven Xuanzong again, he would become a thriving scene.

……

Yu Cheng.

Under the blazing sun, the bottom of the towering city wall shows many traces of erosion and erosion by flowing water, and a lot of silt and sediment have accumulated everywhere at the bottom of the entire city wall.

At this time, you can see a lot of figures, cleaning up the mud and sand along the city wall, all of them are a little ragged, as if they were forcibly recruited from the city, and some of them are old and staggering.

"Hurry up, hurry up! The old thing is slowly soaring, and I don't want to live anymore! ”

There were errand servants in poor uniforms, carrying whips in their hands, standing in the distance and shouting loudly.

Syllable.

Suddenly, he felt his shoulders sink, as if someone was tapping him from behind.

The officer turned his head and said, "Who the hell...... Belch. ”

As soon as he saw the figure standing behind him, the messenger was so scared that he was scared to pee, and the whole person knelt on the ground with a puff: "Great, my lord, see Lord Toji." ”

As an errand officer, it is a basic skill to recognize the rank of the official uniform, even if he has never seen Chen Mu, but Chen Mu's purple robe official uniform, he can also recognize it at a glance, he is a big man who is so tall that he is boundless, even if it is the boss of his boss, he must quickly kowtow here...... What's more, he really knows Chen Mu.

When Chen Mu left office, he thought that Chen Mu had offended the He family and had a gloomy future, but the result was a blink of an eye, not only Chen Mu became one of the top few big names in Yucheng, but even the entire He family was wiped out by Chen Mu!

Every time he remembered the experience of being an errand boy under Chen Mu, he felt as incredible as in a dream.

"How are these servitudes recruited?"

Chen Mu glanced at the errand officer, but he was not impressed, after all, he was already an errand officer when he was an errand boy in Wutong, and there were hundreds of errand officers under his hands, and very few of them were basically remembered by him.

The errand hurriedly returned: "Go back to your lordship...... Those who could not pay the poll tax were fined hard labor ......"

That's it.

Chen Mu sighed in his heart, and then said lightly: "These sediments can be cleaned up sooner or later, you go and pass on my orders, so that everywhere is not to be persecuted, and in addition, the daily food and money, whoever dares to deduct it, go to the prison and spend it slowly." ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

The messenger hurriedly answered.

When there was no movement, he slowly raised his head, and saw that Chen Mu's figure had disappeared, so he quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked at the laborers who were working in the distance.

At that moment, I slapped off the mud and sand on the messenger clothes, and hurriedly went to report to everywhere.

……

Inner City.

Yu family station.

Chen Mu's courtyard is still the same as when he left, and it is still clean.

In the side room on the east side, I saw Chen Yue and Yu Ru huddled together, holding a book and looking at it, there were some words on it that Chen Yue didn't know very well, and Yu Ru was reading it for her on the side.

Then I don't know what I read, Chen Yue suddenly hugged Yu Ru and muttered in her ear, and then giggled, Yu Ru couldn't help but laugh out loud, and bursts of cheerful laughter sounded in the yard.

And just when the two were laughing.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"What kind of book to read, so interesting?"

When this familiar voice fell, Chen Yue and Yu Ru both stopped their movements at once, and the two of them looked at the door together, each showing a look of surprise, and then stood up together.

"Brother!"

"Brother Mu!"

"When did Brother Ling come back?!"

Chen Mu smiled kindly, and said, "I just came back, why did you two come to my yard, I remember Yue'er, you don't like to read, how can you read books with Xiaoru." ”

Chen Yue smiled and shook the book in his hand at Chen Mu, and said, "Because there is a brother in the book!" ”

"Oh?"

Chen Mu walked over with a little curiosity and said, "When did I enter the book, let me take a look...... Well, the rookie spectrum of Hanbei Province, where did this come from? ”

Chen Yue explained: "It seems that it was only sold yesterday, I heard that there is a brother in the book, so I went with Xiaoru to buy a copy and came back, and I plan to tell you when my brother comes back." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Mu bowed slightly, and then opened the book.

The content of the first page immediately catches your eye, and you can see that it is a paragraph of text, and at the top is a name.

'Left Chiaki'!

"Left Chiaki ......"

Chen Mu looked at this page thoughtfully.

He remembered that there was a 'Billboard List' in Hanbei Dao, which recorded the top existence under the Sect Master of the Cleansing of the Marrow in the entire Hanbei Dao, among which Yan Jingqing was also on the list, and that Billboard seemed to come from the End of the World.

This rookie score of Hanbei Road is also the handwriting of Tianya Haige, but there is no personal portrait and it lacks a little taste.

Keep scrolling back.

Page II.

'Yuan Yingsong'!

Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

Then he continued to rummage back, and soon saw some familiar names, such as the Hehuan Twins 'Hua Langyue', the Blood Hidden Building Si Kou Zhi, the Seven Xuanzong Taixuanfeng True Biography Zhou Hao, and so on.

And after flipping all the way to page twenty-seven, he finally saw his name.

'Chen Mu'!

Yuzhou Yu County Supervision Division Dusi, born in poverty, rose in the end of the micro, more than 20 years old before practicing martial arts, delayed many years, but still with a very high understanding, in just a few years has realized the Xunfeng, thunder, fire three artistic conceptions and all of them cultivated to the second step, in addition to the initial grasp of the artistic conception of Yougenshan, once defeated the true legend of Tianjian Gate Gu Hong......

P.S. Comprehension and qualifications are high, for the peerless genius, unfortunately from a humble background, has not been discovered, and practiced martial arts too late, otherwise the strength is far from today's level, or can compete with the top ten rookies.
