"Oh my God!"

It was not until this moment that Yuan Xiao and the four gradually understood the game of chess between King Shaoqin and Xun Qin...... How big is it?

For a while, the four of them were dumbfounded, at a loss, and couldn't come back to their senses for a while.

In fact, since Luo Tianjin's death, King Shaoqin learned from the pain and decided to no longer pin his hopes on outsiders, but to firmly control success or failure in his own hands. Xun Qin's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and his words became more and more terrifying, "The key to the strength of the country lies in 'martial arts'." In the past, the core force of the Shaoqin King was only the soldiers and horses formed by the old department of the Great Liao, but due to the hardships of food, grass and roads, it was extremely difficult for the army hidden in the Western Regions to travel long distances to the Central Plains. In terms of combat strength and numbers, our soldiers and horses are far inferior to the Mongolian iron cavalry, and even better than the official army of the Great Song Dynasty...... It's also slightly inferior. At the beginning, the king of Shaoqin always hoped to make friends with a powerful man in the Central Plains, and use him as a bridge to provide a steady stream of supplies for our army. It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable and there are too many variables, and the slightest mistake is a thousand miles. Therefore, the king of Shaoqin changed his previous strategy and planned to divide the power of the restoration into two forces. One is the thousands of troops and horses who conquer cities and conquer cities and fight in the south and north. Another strand...... It's the Xilu Martial Sect we're planning. ”

"I see! King Shaoqin really had a foresight. Yuan Xiao suddenly realized, and his face showed admiration, "If the Xilu Martial Sect can really include the world's masters, its power ...... No less than a thousand troops. ”

"Exactly!" Xun Qin replied with a smile, "Today, the power of the soldiers and horses is still held by the King of Shaoqin himself. As for the Xilu Martial Sect, it is a great opportunity for you to make contributions. ”

"I understand!" Yan Shun said thoughtfully, "In terms of the gathering of masters, it must be the Central Plains Martial Arts." Therefore, the Xilu Martial Sect must take the Central Plains as its foundation and continue to expand outward. If we lose the Central Plains martial arts, we will be like a kite with a broken string and duckweed without roots. No matter how many horses are recruited, they can't really become the number one in martial arts. ”

"Yes! Yes!" Hong Si suddenly came to his senses, "No wonder the eldest lady insisted on ordering us to enter the Central Plains, it turned out that we were laying the foundation for the Xilu Martial Sect. ”

"The four 'old ministers' who are worthy of being the King of Shaoqin, they are really smart, and they are thorough at all. ”

"The eldest lady praised it falsely, which really embarrassed us. Recalling what he had done in the past few days, Lei Zhen suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed, "Compared with the ambitions of the young Qin King and the eldest lady, the 'small abacus' of several of us is really ...... Shame on you!"

"What about Liu Xunyi?" Yuan Xiao thought for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What role does he play in King Shaoqin's plan?"

"There is the Xianwang Mansion in the north, the Jinjianwu in the south, plus the six major sects, the four great families, and the Longxiang Mountain and the Valley of Despair that 'change the evil and return to the right', their power is all over the southeast and northwest, and they control the people, wealth, and things of seven or eight out of ten in the Central Plains martial arts. The remaining two or three are also firmly controlled by large and small local tyrants and green forest gangs. Together, these people almost carved up the Central Plains Martial Arts. When we first arrived, we wanted to get a piece of the pie, and we were bound to be resisted by all factions. If we don't have the strength to overwhelm the mountains and seas, we won't even be able to stand on our feet, let alone be able to rise to the ground?" Xun Qin said unhurriedly, "In all fairness, with the strength of the four prefectures in Beijing, is it possible to fight a bloody way in the Central Plains martial arts where tigers and wolves are rampant, and seize a place?"

"This ......" the four of them were stunned, and there was a look of shame in their eyes, "I'm afraid not." ”

"That's true. Xun Qin waved his hand disappreciatively, signaling that the four of them didn't have to mind, and said, "You can't make Xilu Wuzong gain a foothold in the Central Plains, but Liu Xunyi can." ”

"Can he?" Lei Zhen couldn't help laughing, "He's a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and it's hard to protect himself." ”

"Miss, we don't deny that Liu Xunyi is brave. But as the saying goes, 'two fists are hard to beat four hands, and a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves'. Even if Liu Xunyi has great ability, it is impossible to swim against the tide under the general trend. Yan Shun tactfully reminded, "I'm worried that if I get too close to him, not only will I not be able to borrow water to push the boat, but I will be affected by him." ”

In fact, Liu Xunyi is a blessed general given by God to the King of Shaoqin. Xun Qin shook his head with a smile, "Not only because of his strong martial arts, but also because of his unparalleled appeal and influence." If the Xilu Martial Sect is held by him, it won't be long before those famous masters in the rivers and lakes will return and sit in the same boat with us. At that time, Mo said that there was no opponent in the Central Plains martial arts, even if he looked at the world...... I'm afraid we won't be able to find a second one that can compete with us. ”

"What does the eldest lady mean by this?"

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, forgive me for selling it for the time being, and you will know when the time comes. Facing the four people who were full of curiosity, Xun Xun thought about it again and again, and finally avoided talking about Liu Xunyi's life experience, "However, I dare to vouch for my own life, Liu Xunyi's appeal and influence in the Central Plains martial arts are definitely more than you imagined...... It's even bigger. In today's world, I am afraid that only he can make the fledgling Xilu Martial Sect quickly take root and even blossom in the Central Plains martial arts. ”

"This ......" Xun Qin's oath made Yuan Xiao and the four of them both shocked and surprised, and they had mixed feelings for a while, not knowing what to say.

"I'm 'catching a big fish with a long line,' believe it or not?"

"We have a deep belief in the eldest lady......"

From now on, you can't complain about Liu Xunyi in the slightest. Xun Qin looked solemn and ordered in an unquestioning tone, "Not only must you not make a stumbling block in secret, but you must show fierce loyalty in front of him, and live and die with him." Remember, Liu Xunyi is a person with great feelings, and the more sincere you treat him, the more he will be interested in Xilu Wuzong. I think that at the beginning, Liu Xunyi was ordered by the Great Song Dynasty court to lurk beside Luo Tianjin, but he was deeply moved by Luo Tianjin's sincerity and almost defected. It can be seen from this that this person is delicate and easy to be emotional. ”

"Is the King of Shaoqin really relieved to put the Xilu Martial Sect in the hands of Liu Xunyi?" Hong Si hesitated, "As the saying goes, 'knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts', in case this son has a bad heart, what should we do?"

"He is only the deputy sect master in charge of the four major rudders of the Central Plains, not the sect master who controls the overall situation. And you ...... It is the mainstay of the four major rudders of the Central Plains. Therefore, as long as your heart is towards the King of Shaoqin, Liu Xunyi will not be able to set off any storms. Xun Qin said in words, "Be obedient to him, but also beware of him." Neither can he be hollowed out, nor can he be allowed to abuse his power. In short, your people can be driven by Liu Xunyi, but your hearts ...... Must always be loyal to the Shaoqin King alone. A meso-scale, I believe that the four will be able to handle it just right. ”

"I'll understand!"

Under Xun Qin's meaningful gaze, Yuan Xiao and the four of them glanced at each other and took their orders together.

"Dare to ask the eldest lady, ...... next What should we do? Do we officially enter the customs under the banner of 'Xilu Wuzong'?"

Next, Liu Xunyi and I went to Mobei to look for Su He. Xun Qindai frowned slightly, and slowly explained the plan she had been thinking about for many days, "You left Sancheng henchmen to stay in Shangjing, and then led seven adult horses to enter the customs one after another. Lord Yan Duo led the disciples of Yan Sect to Hexi and defected to Qin Ku, the head of the Qin family. Lord Hong Duo led the disciples of Hongmen to Xiangxi and defected to Teng Sanshi, the patriarch of the Teng clan. Lord Lei Duo led the disciples of the Thunder Gate to Luoyang City and defected to Xie Xuan, the lord of the Xianwang Mansion. As for Yuan Duo's master...... led the disciples of Yuanmen to Wudang and defected to Qingfeng, the leader of the martial arts alliance in the Central Plains. Remember, you can't use the banner of 'Xilu Wuzong', you can't mention Liu Xunyi, and you can't expose your relationship with the Shaoqin King. When asked by outsiders, they only said that Guanwai was remote, sparsely populated, and it would be difficult to make a difference if they continued to stay in the Northeast. You have long envied the prosperity of the Central Plains, so you have the courage to go south, find another place to settle down, and an opportunity to show your ambitions. ”

"Why is the eldest lady arranging it like this?"

"At present, the foundation is not stable, and it is very likely that someone will be nipped in the bud if he rashly plays the banner of Xilu Wuzong. You infiltrate first, and when Liu Xunyi returns to the Central Plains, you will rush up with thunder. ”

"Even if we don't play the banner of the Xilu Martial Sect, we can still stand on our own. Lei Zhen muttered indignantly.

"Self-reliance? Xun Qin teased, "If you don't want to be found fault with people in three days, and you don't want to be careful even eating and sleeping, the best way is to find a big tree to live temporarily." ”

Yuan Xiao nodded undeniably and said curiously: "The eldest lady is reasonable. I just don't know...... Why did you choose Qin Ku, Teng Sanshi, Xie Xuan and Qingfeng?"

"Not long after Qin Ku took power, there have been constant disputes among the Qin clan in Hexi, and now he urgently needs external forces to help him check and balance the old stubbornness of the Qin family. And this person is very greedy for money, as long as the Lord Yan Helm goes to defect with a generous gift, I believe he can't ask for it. Teng Sanshi is the deputy leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts, he is old and serious, and abides by the morality of the rivers and lakes, especially after recognizing Xiao Zhirou's father and daughter, he is even more grateful for heaven and earth, and his kindness is great, and he likes to help himself accumulate merit more and more. Therefore, when Lord Hong Helm went to take refuge, Teng Sanshi would definitely not sit idly by. Even if he refuses to accept you, he will help you settle in the Central Plains. As for Xie Xuan...... To tell the truth, he is a friend of King Shaoqin, and he is also the key person in helping us help Liu Xunyi overthrow Qingfeng's father and daughter, and he can be regarded as his own person. Therefore, after seeing him, the Lord of the Thunder Helm did not have to deliberately hide the matter of Xilu Wuzong and Liu Xunyi, and he could speak out, so as not to make him feel a gap. Right now, he is struggling under Ling Xiaoxiao's nose, it is when no one can be trusted and no one is available, and the appearance of the Thunder Helm Lord will definitely alleviate his urgent need. Later, I will repair a book, and I will hand it over to Xie Xuan by the Lord of the Thunder Helm, and he will help you arrange the rest of the matter. As for the other sects...... Either the strength is not good, or the region is narrow, or the rat is short-sighted, or colluded with Jin Fuyu, it is not our best candidate. ”

"What about Qingfeng, since he is our opponent, why did the eldest lady let Yuan defect to him?"

"Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" Xun Qin smiled treacherously and said slyly, "Now, Qingfeng is our biggest stumbling block, this person is not removed for a day, Liu Xunyi cannot be rehabilitated for a day, and Xilu Wuzong cannot see the light of day for a day." However, Qingfeng is an old fox and will not easily fall into our trap. Therefore, we must do everything possible to approach him before we do it, and only the more we know about him, the greater the certainty of getting rid of him. At present, although he has become the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, he is actually not comfortable, and there are still many people in the rivers and lakes who disobey him. At this time, Master Yuan Duo came to serve as a 'foreign monk', and he may not be welcomed by him, but he will definitely not be turned away. I guess that Qingfeng is very likely to use you to stir up the troubled waters of the Central Plains Martial Arts and make his position more stable. And this ...... Exactly what we needed. ”
