For thousands of years, the empire has been trying to pacify the various rebel forces within it, and the powerful empire has not completed all of it in many ways because the territory of the empire is too large, and the empire's military strength is simply not enough. For example, in terms of exterminating religions, the empire has always adopted iron-blooded methods, and it was not until the middle and late stages of the empire that restrictions were gradually relaxed, but these religions still did not dare to act blatantly, but now these people have become a force that cannot be ignored.

This is the third day of the turmoil in the imperial capital, and many sects have been killed by the soldiers under Liu Fan's command in the past few days. The terrifying blood of the imperial capital concealed a strong killing intent, these people in the rivers and lakes did not lie dormant but intensified their attacks everywhere, and Liu Fan has been constantly adjusting his goals in the past few days, wanting to reduce the pressure he is facing. There are very few people who finally rebelled in the Black Ice Platform and Dongchang, they are all chasers of interests, and they naturally know who to follow to have greater interests, and they are still active in the front line of fighting.

"Is there still no news of the ground network?" After Liu Fan asked for the emperor's edict, he sent people to the Imperial History Observatory to look for records about the ground network, but there was still no information after several days of searching. The officials who took refuge in Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian were looking for relevant information in the Yushitai, but there was still no response, which made Liu Fan very headache, and the most terrifying enemy was undoubtedly the enemy hidden in the dark.

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "There is still no information, we have investigated all the records, and we have not gained anything. Even the living records of the First Emperor have been carefully searched, and there are still any records on the Internet. There is also no record of the earth net in the document on the establishment of the net. ”

"Liu Fan dares to show up!" was when Liu Fan and Wei Zhongxian were discussing. Suddenly, a hearty voice came from outside the palace. Wei Zhongxian's brows furrowed, and he was about to dodge out, but Liu Fan stretched out his hand to stop him. Liu Fan walked out with Wei Zhongxian. Directly in front of the palace, a man dressed in black held a sword in his hand, and looked coldly at his guards around him. There were several bodies lying on the ground, apparently killed by the man.

"Are you Liu Fan?" the man asked as he watched as he walked out in full armor, his tone full of questions. Wei Zhongxian and the surrounding guards hurriedly blocked in front of Liu Fan, looking at the man in front of him coldly, the powerful murderous aura spread in an instant, and more and more guards surrounded him, and even the roof was full of guards.

"I am, are you?" Liu Fan pushed away Wei Zhongxian and the guards who were blocking him. This person's aura is very strange, Liu Fan can't feel a trace of murderous aura from it, but he still feels very terrifying in his heart.

"I'm from the Divine Sword Sect, and I came to you just to talk to you about cooperation. The man withdrew the sword in his hand and looked at Liu Fan, and only then did Liu Fan see the man's face clearly. is almost about the same age as Liu Fan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the tense expression on the face of the national character makes everyone look very blurry. This is the temperament of a master, when a person cultivates to the extreme, he can hide his appearance even if he stands in front of you. This made Liu Fan very surprised, his subordinates were born with such a high level of cultivation. And this young man has such cultivation at such a young age, it seems that this world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are a lot of masters.

"Cooperation, can you represent the Divine Sword Sect?" Liu Fan looked at this man curiously, he has always been the number one wanted criminal on the rivers and lakes, and even this number one wanted criminal is a little inexplicable, I don't know how many times he has been chased and killed over the years, which can be said to make Liu Fan unguardable. Liu Fan's dark night quicksand has also eradicated many sects, but few sects have taken the initiative to cooperate with Liu Fan, of course, Shiling is also one.

"Of course, I can represent the Divine Sword Sect, because I am the only one in the Divine Sword Sect. The man looked at Liu Fan coldly and said, "I have taken a fancy to something in your hand on behalf of the Divine Sword Sect to cooperate with you this time, as long as you can give it to me, I can work for you on behalf of the Divine Sword Sect." ”

"What's it? There is only one person in your Divine Sword Sect, why do I think that your Divine Sword Sect is worthy of my funding?" Liu Fan said to the man with a smile, there are many large and small sects in the rivers and lakes, and it is reasonable that I have not heard of this Divine Sword Sect. It's just that this Divine Sword Sect alone dares to come to Liu Fan to cooperate, I have to say that this guy is still very courageous, but there are many treasures in Liu Fan's hands, I don't know what this guy has a fancy for, if it is a not too important treasure Liu Fan doesn't mind giving it to him.

"It's not that the Divine Sword Sect is worth your funding, but our Shenjian Sect doesn't need your funding at all. The man said arrogantly to Liu Fan: "I just want to cooperate with you to achieve a win-win goal, you need my strength, I need those pills in your hands." You use the strength of our Divine Sword Sect to clean up your opponents, and I need to use your elixir to strengthen the strength of our Divine Sword Sect, it's that simple. As for my strength, I think you should know it very well. I heard that Jing Ke is the number one swordsman under your command, you can let Jing Ke try my martial arts. ”

"Of course Your Excellency's martial arts cultivation is very clear to me, but I want to trust Your Excellency?" Liu Fan smiled and said to the man: "I have a lot of pills, you can have as many as you want, and I can even give you the best pills." But these things are all things that I use to reward my subordinates for their meritorious battles, and you must prove your strength. ”

What the man needed was obviously unexpected by Liu Fan, and it was also expected by Liu Fan. There are a lot of treasures in Liu Fan's hands, only those who really know the goods know what the real treasures in Liu Fan's hands are, and it is not a hidden thing for Liu Fan to have a large number of pills. Liu Fan once used these pills to buy a large number of masters in the rivers and lakes, and the ones that Liu Fan took out were only mid-to-high-grade pills, and what this man needed was obviously those top-grade pills.

"My name is Ye Longyi, and as for my worth, I will prove it to you soon. The man obviously didn't take Liu Fan's words to heart, and responded coldly: "I don't need those ordinary pills of yours, give me ten Great Transformation Soul Rejuvenation Pills, Jiuyang Jade Dew Pills every month." and 100 high-grade pills. I can train you a group of swordsmen who are absolutely loyal to you. ”

"I know you've tried to recruit the Five Great Sword Sects. But with me, you can completely ignore them. Ye Longyi said arrogantly: "The Five Great Sword Sects were just five small sects separated from our Divine Sword Sect back then, and they didn't get the true sword lineage inheritance of our Divine Sword Sect. I inquired very clearly, the biggest enemy you need to face now is these quacks, and I can solve this problem for you. ”

"You only need to take out a large number of mid-to-high-grade pills and the sword spectrum I passed on to them, you can easily form a dragoon army, or even form a conquest army that died in the imperial court, and their strength will only be strong, not weak. ”

I have to say that Ye Longyi's Jihua instantly moved Liu Fan's heart. If you can really form a conquest army in a short period of time, it will indeed solve Liu Fan's biggest problem at present. However, Liu Fan didn't dare to believe Ye Longyi's words, the amount of a person's aura determines this person's skills. It's not that Liu Fan can't take out these pills, but with the masters who have piled up the pills, whether it is the accumulation of real aura or combat experience, they are far from being the opponents of those who have the same cultivation, and even the enemies who may be lower than his cultivation can kill them, if so, Liu Fan will have some gains that outweigh the losses.

"I can promise you your conditions, you need to help me train a group of swordsmen, I don't need them to play a role in a short time, but once the training is completed, they must be able to defeat opponents with the same cultivation. "What Ye Long wanted, Liu Fan had difficulty coming out. Although the refining of the Great Turning Soul Rejuvenation Pill and the Jiuyang Jade Dew Pill was a bit complicated, Liu Fan held a large number of top-grade materials in his hands. All it takes is time.

"Okay, I'll give you a greeting gift. Remember to have what I need, and in three days I'll bring the loot you need in exchange for what you have. ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at Ye Long, who had disappeared in front of him, and his face moved: "Lord, this person is so arrogant, he will send someone to send his head over." ”

"No need, some people are arrogant and always have capital, and it would be good if they could take advantage of some. Now the entire Jianghu people in the imperial capital are our enemies, and one more helper is a helper, you send someone down to find out what kind of sect this Divine Sword Sect is. Liu Fan smiled and said to Wei Zhongxian, Ye Longyi's strength is not bad, if Ye Longyi really has the sincerity to come to join the cooperation, Liu Fan doesn't mind giving him some pills.

Wei Zhongxian nodded and walked out, and soon a piece of information about the Divine Sword Sect was sent to Liu Fan. After reading the information, Liu Fan instantly understood that Ye Longyi had such an arrogant capital, and he had obtained the inheritance of the sect that disappeared in ancient times, a mysterious existence like Luo Cheng's Divine Spear Gate, a powerful and mysterious sword spectrum, and exquisite combat skills, everything indicated the strength of the Divine Sword Sect.

"I didn't expect to get the inheritance of the Divine Sword Sect that disappeared in ancient times, it seems that this Ye Longyi is really not simple. Liu Fan smiled and put down the information in his hand, the people who can get the inheritance of the ancient sect all have a unique talent in martial arts, and the people who get the inheritance are rare masters in the world. Luo Cheng had only been cultivating for a few years to have such skills, and judging from the aura on Ye Long's body, his cultivation years were definitely several times that of Luo Cheng. At least the current Liu Fan is far from being Ye Longyi's opponent, and Jing Ke is not necessarily this Ye Longyi's opponent, some people can use it to squeeze his greatest value, this is Liu Fan's principle of life.

"Master, the people of Momen are here. Zhao Gao hurriedly walked in and said to Liu Fan, who was thinking about countermeasures, Zhao Gao saluted Liu Fan and said, "Lord, Yan Dan, the saw of Momen, is asking to see him outside the door." ”

"Momen?" Liu Fan looked at Zhao Gao with a surprised expression, this Momen obviously did not appear in all the intelligence, looking at Zhao Gao's excited expression, it was obvious that this Momen was not simple.

"Yes, Momen's saw himself has come, and now it's outside. Zhao Gao looked at Liu Fan excitedly and said: "Lord, this Momen is not simple, almost all the weapon designs of the empire are from the hands of Momen, and even the steel building ships of the empire are also built by Momen." I have tried to win over Momen countless times to make Momen work for the lord, but I failed, but I didn't expect Momen's saw to come to the door in person today. ”

The steel building ship, these four words hit Liu Fan's heart heavily, Yizhou's navy was completely annihilated, almost all the warships were taken away by the sea clan, and even if they were left, some small warships could not support Liu Fan's navy to enter the sea for internal operations. Although Yangzhou has gathered hundreds of shipbuilders and craftsmen to build large warships in Yangzhou day and night, there is still no way to change the current predicament of the navy. At present, the navy of the Shenwu Army is in the combat posture against the Sea Clan. Always on the defensive. This is not the reason why soldiers are not elite. It's because the gap between the warships of the two sides is too great.

The navy under Liu Fan's command now does not have a single steel building ship in Liu Fan, while the Sea Clan already has four. If the navy of the Shenwu Army attacked the Sea Clan, the four ships of the Sea Clan could easily wipe out the navy of the Shenwu Army. Liu Fan also thought about those saint-level shipbuilders in the empire, but he never had the opportunity to recruit these people, but secretly sent a message to Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian, asking them to secretly win over some people, and it was obvious that they all failed. No wonder as soon as the people from Momen came to the door this time, Zhao Gao was immediately excited.

"Where is the man? Bring it to me at once. Liu Fan was also excited. Although he hadn't heard of Momen, the name of the steel building ship alone was enough for Liu Fan to pay attention to, not to mention that they had designed almost all the weapons of the empire. What is most lacking in the hands of the Shenwu Army now? That is, arrows, especially the two special arrows of killing gods and killing immortals, without them, the Shenwu Army would have to pay a very heavy price to deal with these people in the rivers and lakes.

"No, I'll see you in person. Zhao Gao was just about to walk out, Liu Fan grabbed Zhao Gao and walked out quickly in front of Zhao Gao, at the door of the palace, a person dressed as a black-clothed craftsman was standing at the door, looking anxiously towards the palace, it seemed that this person was the saw Yan Dan of Momen.

Yan Dan saw Liu Fan walking out of it. Zhao Gao had already guessed Liu Fan's identity when he followed closely behind him, and hurriedly walked up. Seeing Liu Fan's snap, he knelt on the ground and startled Liu Fan, who was about to be polite to him, even if you came to take refuge, you wouldn't give me such a big gift as soon as you came up.

"Please also ask the prince to save the lives of thousands of people in our Momen. Yan Dan's words suddenly made Liu Fan stunned, Liu Fan looked at Zhao Gao, only to see that Zhao Gao was also looking at Yan Dan with a puzzled expression, obviously he didn't know what was going on. Yan Dan knelt on the ground, his head on the ground and cried: "Shizi, please send troops to save the lives of thousands of people in our Momen!"

"Saw, please hurry up, what's going on? Tell me clearly, Zhao Gao, you immediately go and find Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Pei Yuanqing for me, the speed must be fast, gather a team of the most elite men and horses for me, immediately. Liu Fan helped Yan Dan up from the ground, everyone is willing to do the things that send charcoal in the snow, especially Liu Fan is more willing. Thousands of people in Momen are all talents, if they can recruit the weapons and equipment of the Shenwu Army under their command, they will be able to rise to a level in an instant, and the most important thing is that Liu Fan can get the manufacturing method of killing gods and killing immortals, and he will no longer have to be controlled by others.

Zhao Gao hurriedly walked down, Yan Dan got up from the ground, Liu Fan looked at the wrinkles on Yan Dan's face, the rough big hands were really born as craftsmen, but they were different from those who practiced martial arts. Liu Fan hurriedly invited Yan Dan in, and at the same time comforted Yan Dan and said: "Saw, please rest assured, I have already asked people to find my strongest subordinates, and as soon as they arrive, I will immediately take them to personally save the Momen, you can rest assured that the Shenwu Army will never ignore the Momen." ”

"Thank you, Shizi. Yan Dan hurriedly saluted Liu Fan, and slowly said the whole thing, Liu Fan finally understood what was going on.

Momen is also one of the sects of the empire, it is a sect composed of craftsmen who started with the first emperor, and it can be said that this sect is very young. Because all the people in this sect were born craftsmen, there are no martial arts practitioners at all, they all make a living by developing jishu and forging weapons, and it can be said that all the weapons in the empire are from the hands of Momen. From the very beginning of its existence, the Momen was heavily protected by the royal family, and no one knew where they were or how many of them there were until the beginning of the imperial turmoil.

You can say that you are talented, but there is one thing that is indispensable, and it can even be said that it is the decisive liliang of a warlord Shili, and that is weapons and armor. Liu Fan has been subject to many restrictions in terms of armor since he started the army, and there are many factors in this, the most important of which is that there are not enough craftsmen to build weapons, and even if there are craftsmen, they will not build weapons. Because the weaponry of the empire is centrally managed, the empire is still martial, but individuals are absolutely not allowed to build weapons privately, that is to say, there are many blacksmiths in the empire, but there are few people who can really build weapons.

Momen, a sect that makes a living by creating weapons and designing new weapons, is naturally easy to be targeted in troubled times, especially the Eight Imperial Merchants who control most of the weapons manufacturing in the empire, and it is impossible to let them go. In the past, because of the strength of the empire, the Eight Great Imperial Merchants did not dare to inquire where Momen was, but now they easily knew where Momen was hidden. After several failed solicitations, the eight imperial merchants also lost interest in continuing to recruit them, and they decided to directly send people to arrest them, and if they couldn't catch them, they would all be killed, and they must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others, especially Liu Fan.
