The Eastern Regions and the Southern Liuyun Country.

Liuyun country is a great dynasty, ranking under the jurisdiction of the empire, the dynasty is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and the scholars and ministers chant poems and words every day, boating and talking, and the weather is thousands.

Because of the southern part of the Eastern Regions, the climate is very humid and humid, with more rain and few sunny days. And Liuyun Country is the famous "rain country" in the south, and in Liuyun country, there is another Yangzhou City that is second only to Chang'an City in size.

"The world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and the two scoundrels are Yangzhou" is talking about Yangzhou, which means that the brilliance of the bright moon in the world has three points, and the lovely Yangzhou actually takes up two points. As long as the literati and writers of the past dynasties arrived in the southern part of the Eastern Regions, the first thing they had to go to was Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is also known as the "city of rain and fog", this city is almost day and night is misty drizzle, and there is no sunlight all day long, so that the occasional sun appears, and the whole city barks at dogs.

The perennial light rain has caused the bluestone slabs in the city to be washed out particularly clean, and those who come to travel can take off their boots and walk barefoot on the bluestone after entering the city, which is cool and refreshing.

For the locals of Yangzhou, the most famous and the most desirable is not the famous Slender West Lake, not the Wenchang Pavilion of Yangzhou's first school, not the man-made Grand Canal from Chang'an City all the way to Yangzhou, not the 24th bridge where the bridges and bridges are all famous bridges, but the "Ten Mile Chunfeng Street" in Yangzhou City, the ancient street located in the middle of Yangzhou, brings together many Confucian celebrities in the south of the Eastern Regions, as well as Yangzhou's high-level officials, and the famous families of the upper class, all live in the "Shili Chunfeng Street", which attracts people's attention.

Liuyun Kingdom is a great dynasty, but its country is in front of Yangzhou City, which is not worth mentioning. Although Yangzhou City is located in Liuyun Country, it is a real divided city, with nearly 10 million people in one city, which is almost the same as the number of Chang'an City in the Eastern Pole Empire. And there are seven or eight major sects. Among them, two sects can be ranked in the top ten in the Eastern Regions, and the strength of the other sects is also close behind. More importantly, these sects and local nobles are in league with each other and have many connections, so Liuyun Kingdom has no way to subdue Yangzhou City even if it uses force, which is also the reason why Yangzhou City is transcendent and independent.

Ten miles of spring breeze willow road, with poncho clouds every year.

Today is no exception, the sky is still gloomy, sprinkled with fine rain, "rain and willow bluestone" breath is the breath of Yangzhou. On the ten-mile Chunfeng Street, someone walked briskly with a blue paper umbrella, and after walking for a while, he arrived at a very large mansion, and several janitors glanced at the person holding the umbrella, and immediately saluted and opened the door, and then entered the middle hall of the mansion under the guidance of the housekeeper.

"Brother Wen Mu, you're here so soon...... Come, come, sit down!" When an old man in white saw the man come in, he immediately got up and smiled and asked the man to sit down.

"Brother Bai, don't make fun of me, I was just dealing with the affairs of the sect, you just flew the pigeon to pass the book, let me come in a hurry, you are not kind. The old man who had just arrived glanced at the lobby and quipped with a smile on his face, but his heart skipped a beat.

There are already more than 20 people in the hall, almost all of them are old, and the lowest ones are over the age of six. The old guys, who are usually "smiling tigers" and "old foxes", are mostly frowning slightly or expressionless at this time, and their fingers are gently clasping the purple sandalwood seats, thinking about something.

When the old man in white saw that these "old friends" were almost all there, he completely opened his voice and began to get to the point.

"Everyone, I called you here today, and I think everyone knows why, so I won't sell it, just say it. ”

The old man took a sip of priceless and precious tea, moistened his throat, and began to say: "The day before yesterday, I learned through some channels that the Eastern Pole Empire was about to start its actions against the Eastern Regions. ”

Most of the many old people have their own channels and know the news, but there are a few big sects who don't know about it, because the Jianghu sect doesn't pay much attention to spies or some intelligence channels, but some big families are different, they attach great importance to the hidden news in various places, and they will think about it once there is a stir.

The few Taishang leaders who didn't know the news before all jumped for a moment, but their faces still didn't change, and one of them, a white-haired and black-clothed old man from a certain big sect, opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man in white replied: "You are all the ancestors of the major clans in Yangzhou or the heads of the major sects, so you should know that the Eastern Pole Empire has been dispatching troops and generals in the past few years, and the operation of soldiers and horses is very frequent, and its purpose can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, that is, to unite the other three empires and lay down the vast Middle-earth Divine Prefecture together." ”

"However, if you want to have enough manpower and material resources to fight that earth-shattering battle, you must have enough rear material support. And you can't let the backyard catch fire. Therefore, the first thing the Eastern Pole Empire should do is to completely encircle thousands of countries and tens of thousands of sects in the Eastern Regions, and pour the power of the two states in the Eastern Regions to confront a central state. Of course, the land of the West Pole, the land of the Northern Wilderness, and the land of the Southern Barbarians will also rectify the local forces, whether they are encircled or eliminated, the final purpose is to ensure that they are invincible behind them, so when the time comes, it will be the power of the four places and eight states to encircle the situation of the Middle Earth Divine Prefecture together. ”

"Not to mention the far-reaching, it has nothing to do with us, but people have no far-reaching worries and near-term concerns. The Eastern Pole Empire has now begun to attack several disobedient dynasties in the north. And those Imperial avant-garde battalions that came to the south of our Eastern Regions have not moved yet. But it's only a matter of time before they do it. So we have two choices now, the first is to completely surrender to the Eastern Pole Empire, and when the time comes, he will be a pawn of the Eastern Pole Empire, and the second choice is ...... As you all know, I am calling you here today to ask for your opinions. ”

After the old man in white finished speaking, he looked at everyone's thoughts or closed their eyes or frowned, smiled, sat down and continued to taste tea. Because this tea is limited, drink a little less in Kyushu. It was planted by the "tea fairy" three hundred years ago.

"Hmph! He really thinks that he is the co-master of the Eastern Regions?!" a hot-tempered big sect Taishang snorted coldly, and then the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "The Eastern Pole Empire doesn't even have a real nine-rank master, what can we do to make tens of thousands of sects in the rivers and lakes submit?" If the nine-rank palace master of the Dao Palace said this, the old man would be convinced, and he had nothing to say. But what kind of bullshit is he in the Eastern Pole Empire? Let us be pawns? The abacus is good! I, the Xuanyun Sect, am the first to disagree. ”

"Brother Ling Dao, don't make a liver fire, this matter has to be discussed in the long run. The old man who arrived at the end with a paper umbrella shook his head and said, as the head of the top ten sects in the Eastern Regions, he was obviously more calm and composed.

"Think about it in the long run? What's the matter? Do you really want to surrender to that empire, and then rush to the front to confront that Middle-earth Sect head-on? It's not that my Xuanyun Sect is afraid of the big sect of the Middle Earth Divine Prefecture, but just fight for a few months, and let my Xuanyun Sect's entire sect disappear from the world? Xuan Lingdao sneered.

"Brother Bai, as the head of our seventeen major clans in Yangzhou, what do you think?" asked an old man in a sixtieth armor, and he and everyone else also looked at the old man in white.

"It's impossible to surrender, but if we want to contend with the entire Eastern Empire, it may be a little better than hitting a stone with an egg, but it's still a broken bone, so it's not realistic. When the old man in white said this, he smiled and picked up the ancient teacup worth a thousand gold and took a sip of tea.

"It seems that Brother Bai has a clever plan again. An old man in a gorgeous costume with a short beard said with a smile.

The old man in white smiled knowingly, and then said: "There is indeed a plan, but whether it is good or not, it depends on everyone." ”

Then the old man in white got up again, looked around at the more than twenty people present, and said with a solemn face: "Now, there is only one plan, which is to unite hundreds of countries in the southern part of the Eastern Regions to fight against the Eastern Pole Empire in the northern part of the Eastern Regions. And it is very difficult to do this, among us, no one can do without it, I know that behind each of your families, there are dozens of large and small dynasties, including our Bai family, and there are also many shadows of southern dynasties behind us. Usually, no matter how intriguing we are, how we laugh and hide knives, but at this moment and even in the years to come, we must unite tightly to fight against the Eastern Pole Empire and share the storm together!"

At this time, it was the short-tempered Xuan Ling Dao, his heart trembled slightly, can he really confront the East Pole Empire?

In recent years, how many large and small dynasties in the Eastern Regions that were wiped out by the Eastern Pole Empire have revived? At the beginning, many rebuilt dynasties were full of confidence, but in the end, without exception, they were all suppressed by the empire by crushing means.

The Eastern Pole Empire looks down on the large and small dynasties and sects with the posture of swallowing mountains and rivers and looking down on the Eastern Regions, and the only one that can compare with it is the first sect and sect palace in the Eastern Regions!

"Brother Bai, is there any news from the Dao Palace, what is the attitude of the Dao Palace?" asked an old man from a big clan.

"Dao Gong said that it was the dispute in the Eastern Regions, and they did not participate. ”

"What about the attitude of the Eastern Antarctic Empire?"

"The four empires are still treating each other with courtesy to these super sects in their own territory, and they have not violated them in any way, and even whether those super sects want it or not, these empires have given them more power to act cheaply. The old man in white stopped drinking tea and slowly stroked his beard and said.

"I've heard that many of the larger sects in our Eastern Regions have directly expressed their attitude towards defecting to the Empire, and the other three places should be the same, and they must all want to hold off first. Anyway, it's been decades since the attack on Middle-earth, and there are too many variables in between. "There is a big clan ancestor said.

"Unless their sect gives birth to a monk of the ninth rank realm, even if it is the peak of the eighth grade, if they dare to make trouble alone, they will be killed by the empire. "Another great ancestor is disdainful of those sects or dynasties that directly express their attitudes.

"Within twenty years, the four empires will attack Zhongzhou. The old man in white threw out a message, and then added, "This is a relatively accurate time." ”

"What? in twenty years?!" Almost no one in the crowd knew the news, in their opinion, it would be at least forty or fifty years before they would hit Middle-earth, but they didn't expect it to be fought in twenty years!

"Because the young people on the rivers and lakes of this generation have developed too fast, there are too many amazing talents, and there are too many variables, it is not possible to make it possible for the world to increase the number of seven or eight nine-rank masters in the world after forty or fifty years, and at that time, if those people are together, who can stop them? The brains of the four emperors of the empire are not said to be gone? I think that hiding in the palace will have a country's luck and suppress the four directions? No, no! As long as there are four or five monks of the nine-rank world-building realm, entering the imperial palace is like a leisurely stroll. The old man in white obviously knows a lot, and his personality is relatively optimistic, so he couldn't help but joke at this time.

"In that case, let's work together to support the four great empires to attack Middle-earth Divine Continent twenty years later, when the Eastern Antarctic Empire is already powerless for us in the south and will no longer take care of us. An old ancestor of a big clan who was still a little hesitant said at this time.

Half of the old men were hesitant before, but after knowing when those empires would attack Middle-earth, they all made up their minds.

"Good. Let's work together!" said many old men.

"Come, drink tea. The old man in white clapped his hands, and many maidservants walked in with the hard-to-find tea and poured tea for these old people.

Many of the ancestors of the big clans or the heads of the great sects had hardly tasted this kind of tea that was the heirloom of the Bai family, and their eyes lit up at this time, and they raised their glasses with a smile and savored it.

At this time, although everyone is looking at the fragrant and extremely precious tea, it is unknown what they are thinking in their hearts.
