Chapter Seventy-One: The Situation
Ding Cong asked unintentionally, but Xuanyuan was aroused. As the leader of the alliance, if you are absent for too long, there will definitely be problems.
Ding Cong saw Xuanyuan's thoughtful appearance and proposed to go back first, as for Xuanyuan's sword sacrifice and swordsmanship practice, he could go back and talk about it.
The speed of going back was much faster than when he was back, after all, Ning Er's cultivation had improved, and Xuanyuan was not idle during Ding Cong's sword refining, and most of the three of them approached in front of the tall council hall after most of the day.
At this time, there were about twenty people in the council hall, all of whom were big names with status in the alliance. Instead of sitting in the center, as is customary, these people are facing each other separately. Before the three of Xuanyuan entered the door, the sound of argument inside came to their ears.
“...... Are you farting, what is the wrong time, what is unbreakable? Our army of six beasts, under the leadership of Lord Hei, will still be afraid of dozens of bronze men?"
"The timing is wrong, the timing is wrong, now the Yanbu Alliance has begun to cross the Waifang Mountain, eyeing us, and you said that now to crusade against the Jiuli clan? You know, it is precisely because of the Black Lord that the bronze talents of Jiuli have not attacked with all their strength over the years, and now that the Yellow Emperor is not here, who can invite the Black Lord?"
"If you don't try it, how do you know? Taking advantage of the current internal instability in Jiuli, we will strike with all our might, even if we can't completely defeat them, we can still make them lose their vitality. After all, Emperor Yan is the son of Shaodian Jun, and everything is easy to discuss. ”
"Less, what is there to discuss? What did the people we sent to investigate say? The Yan Department is cutting down and setting up cones and manufacturing weapons, this is what it looks like to be negotiable? If we go to attack the Jiuli Clan, the Yan Department will take advantage of the situation and enter, how can we be worthy of the Yellow Emperor?"
There was still a lot of arguing in the house, and the three of them pushed the door open and walked in.
The people in the house were overjoyed when they saw this, and they all stepped forward to see the Yellow Emperor and the high priest.
Ding Cong frowned when he entered the room, and he still did at this time. Seeing this, Xuanyuan asked, "High Priest, what's wrong?"
Ding Cong looked at the two sides of the dispute in the room, and then asked, "The Jiuli clan is unstable, where did the news come from?
Hearing the high priest's question, a person stepped out of the crowd and replied respectfully, "High priest, the news was brought back by the gathering team in the spring. It's been four months since I got back to the present. According to a group of hunters who had been hunting in the woods for a long time, many of the Jiuli tribes were moving out one after another because the Jiuli priest had died, all the bronze people had been summoned back by Chiyou, and several tribes with slightly different intentions had been slaughtered. At first, it was just a few small tribes on the margins, but then for some reason, several tribes suddenly joined forces to overthrow Chiyou's rule. Tribes fearing implication have migrated. ”
Ding Cong's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this, but he was thinking about something else in his heart, and when he looked up and saw Xuanyuan looking at him, he asked softly, "What does the Yellow Emperor think?"
Xuanyuan also had some suspicions in his heart, as a cultivator, he naturally knew what was wrong with the matter, he knew when he was very young that Shen Gongke, the priest of the Jiuli clan, was a figure that even the high priest was very afraid of, although the high priest did not say who was more powerful, but from the usual words, it could be deduced that Shen Gongke was even more powerful.
No matter where Shen Gongke's cultivation goes, as long as there are no emergencies, he will definitely not fall easily. Since the high priest asked, Xuanyuan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that there is fraud in it." Moreover, Chi You has been known for a long time, although he is violent, but he is very strategic, and he will never easily make such a decision to put himself at a disadvantage. ”
After Ding Cong nodded, he asked everyone again: "When did the Yan Department cross the Waifang Mountain?"
The person who had just reported walked out again and replied respectfully: "The news came earlier, three months earlier than the news of the Jiuli tribe. ”
Ding Cong sighed after hearing this, and said to Xuanyuan: "Jiuli's affairs, you don't care, hurry up and deal with the Yan Department." ”
Xuanyuan didn't say anything after hearing this, but everyone else in the room showed shocked expressions, and at this time, a man of about thirty walked up to Ding Cong, and after giving a salute, he asked, "Can the high priest explain his doubts?" ”
Ding Cong glanced at the man in front of him and knew that it was the queen of the wind who was in charge of the government order in the alliance. So he explained: "The strength of the Yanbu Theory is similar to ours, but the richness of the land that has lived in the northwest for a long time is much worse, and it is often attacked by birds and beasts of prey. Now that they are strong, if they want to develop for a longer time, they must go east. ”
"We live in a place where the winter is mild and the spring arrives early, the four wild fields are fertile, the mountains are full of wild fruits, the Yingshui is rarely flooded, and there are many fewer birds of prey in the mountains than in the northwest, so it is best to develop here for a long time. ”
"There is one more thing you don't know, this is the middle of the world, which can be described as the Central Plains. Besides, Jiang Shinian, although he was born to the same father as the Yellow Emperor, how could he, as Emperor Yan, not consider the interests of the alliance?"
"The news just mentioned is that the Yanbu crossed the Waifang Mountain in front, and the internal strife in Jiuli was behind. Then the current situation is very likely to be a joint attack by the Yan Department and Jiuli. Once we think that Jiuli is unable to conquer the civil strife, we will definitely do our best to deal with the attack of the Yan Department, which will lead to the emptiness of the rear, at that time, Jiuli does not need to pour out of the nest, as long as we can use half of our strength to copy our rear road, and we are flanked on both sides, and the enemy on the back and abdomen, we can only surrender the Yan Department one step is feasible. ”
"If that really happens, the Yan Department and Jiuli will split our territory in two, and then they will form a new confrontation situation after they have digested all our resources. Taking a step back, even if Emperor Yan now gives up eastward expansion out of the mind of brotherhood, will we really be relieved and not fortify near the outer mountain?
After Ding Cong said this, he looked at Xuanyuan on the side, and thought to himself, "If you brothers don't fight, how can you merge together? "Of course, these are things that must never be said.
After listening to Ding Cong's words, the wind queen was also shocked in his heart, he was the leader who advocated the all-out conquest of Jiuli, but unfortunately the position he stood limited his vision, after all, he still couldn't understand the so-called friendship between father and son, and it was nothing in front of the real interests.
After relieving the uneasiness in her heart for a while, the wind queen asked respectfully, "Does the high priest mean that we are going all out to deal with the Yan Department, and we don't need to think about Jiuli?"
What he asked was exactly what Regulus wanted to say. Xuanyuan didn't understand how the high priest could resist Jiuli's invasion, if it was really Shen Gongke's personal arrival, I am afraid that the high priest would not be able to deal with it.
Ding Cong laughed after hearing this: "Are you so unconfident in me? I really can't deal with Jiuli's offense alone, but it's still okay to find more helpers." ”
"Helper, does the High Priest want to ask for the help of the Black Lord? In that case, I will lose my strongest attack against the Yanbu. Feng Hou said with some astonishment.
After Ding Cong looked at the wind, he asked a little mockingly: "Do you say that Xiao Hei will agree to fight Jiang Shinian?" They are all the sons of Shaodian Jun, and Xiao Hei will never help them." After finishing speaking, Ding Cong's heart suddenly moved, and a smile gradually returned to his face.
After hearing this, the wind queen was silent, thinking that this was indeed the case, and then she couldn't help but sneak a glance at the high priest, and said in her heart, "Even if you call Lord Hei Xiao Hei in private, how can you say it in front of the Yellow Emperor?"
As everyone knows, Ding Cong and Lao Li have long been indelible terrifying existences in Xiao Hei's heart, even if Xiao Hei's cultivation is good now and he can already incarnate into a human form, but when he sees Ding Cong and Lao Li, he can only nod his head.
After listening to the analysis of the high priest, everyone also felt that it made sense, although Lord Hei commanded the six beast armies of Xiong, Zheng, Wolf, Leopard, Cun, and Tiger, but after all, Emperor Yan Jiang Shinian was the son of Shaodian Jun, I am afraid that Lord Hei would really ignore this matter.
Xuanyuan was not worried about whether he could compete with the Yan Department, he always felt that the high priest had something to hide, and it was not easy to ask if there were many people now, so he had to wait for the opportunity to talk about it.
When Xuanyuan glanced at the people in the room again, he suddenly found that Wei He was not among them, so he couldn't help but whisper "Huh".
The decree that the Wind Queen can take charge of the alliance is naturally not an ordinary person, and when he saw the Yellow Emperor scanning everyone, he let out a slight sound of surprise, and guessed what he was thinking.
He came out again and reported: "Yellow Emperor, the priest Wei He left the alliance after hearing about the civil strife in Jiuli and has not returned. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Cong laughed, and then said to Ning Er, who was waiting on the side: "Go find a few people and let them take a stretcher to Xishan." ”
Ning Er listened to them in the house and said that political affairs were boring, and she had long wanted to go out for a walk, but she was afraid of being reprimanded, so she had to sit on the ground with her chin in a daze. Suddenly, she heard the high priest ask her to find someone to bring a stretcher to Xishan, and before she could come to her senses, she hurriedly answered, and then got up and left.
He didn't take two steps before he stopped, looked back at the high priest's smiling expression, and asked with a little red on his face: "High priest, what are you doing in Xishan?"
The others did not know why, but they all looked at the high priest.
Ding Cong didn't care about the others, but said to Ning'er, "Go and pick up Wei He back." Well, tell him, don't be stiff, it's not good for the future. ”
Xuanyuan was the first to react, and immediately asked the Empress Feng to arrange for Ning'er to accompany Ning Er with a few powerful clansmen, and asked them to bring soft linen mats. After that, he asked, "High Priest, is Wei He injured?"
"Well, the injury is not big, it's just too tired. Ding Cong smiled and said, "Before we go out, I instructed him to keep an eye on Jiuli's movements. Since there was news of civil strife in Jiuli, of course he wanted to go and see it. Well, it should be some hard stubble, otherwise it wouldn't have run to the West Mountain and run out of strength. ”。
In fact, Ding Cong left a soul mark on Wei He's body, as long as it was not too far away, he could perceive his current situation, coupled with his more perverted perception now, Wei He was noticed by him as soon as he appeared near Xishan, and he sensed the current situation of his apprentice, so he naturally knew his current state.
Fortunately, Wei He's injury was not serious, otherwise Ding Cong would have been unable to hold his breath and ran to respond, but it was precisely because Wei He returned from injury that it was confirmed from the side that Jiuli's current state was definitely problematic.
