However, Lou Yun ate with relish today, and this meal tasted a little different from the usual taste.

Yan Feixue exclaimed: "The autumn girl's craftsmanship has grown." ”

Qiu Yuling smiled awkwardly, and Qiu Yuling asked, "Brother Yun, how is Ling'er's cooking today?"

Lou Yun said: "It's very delicious. But he could only reply lightly. Although this sentence seems perfunctory, it is Lou Yun's sincere words.

At the dinner table, Yan Feixue said, "Xiaoyun, are we just sitting still?"

Lou Yun swallowed the food and said, "No! Find out more about the other person's condition first, and then prescribe the right medicine. In short, our goal is only one point, we can't let Murong Zheng's power expand again. It doesn't do anyone any good. ”

Murong Xuan interjected at this time: "That's true, since Murong Zheng ascended to the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and founded the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the bloodshed on the rivers and lakes has not only not decreased, but has continued to increase. There are many things to bully men and women. ”

Yan Feixue said: "This is the trouble caused by the expansion of power in a short period of time, the Heavenly Dao Alliance has absorbed a lot of people from the three sects and nine streams who were not in the rivers and lakes before, these people are either Jiangyang thieves or gentry and powerful. In the past, when there was no protective umbrella of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, these forces would intrigue and even fight because of a little petty profit. But at best, it was only bloodshed. ”

"Sometimes the imperial court will even come forward to take jurisdiction, but now that they have been turned from scattered sand to rock by Murong Zheng's iron hands, and now with the signboard of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, ordinary people will naturally not easily provoke these people. These people have no previous checks and balances, and they naturally become arrogant. ”

Lou Yun nodded silently and said, "Well, that's true, the current Heavenly Dao Alliance is like a pool of stagnant water, and it won't take long for the stagger to rot." And now the Heavenly Dao Alliance already has such a trend, but one thing I am curious about is one thing, Murong Zheng is also a smart person, with his intelligence, it is impossible not to think of these problems, but the question is, why does he, as the master of the First Alliance, ignore these things?"

Yan Feixue said: "This can only show one problem, then he has a big chess game to play." Now he is just accumulating strength, otherwise there is no need for Murong Zheng to spend money to raise so many bastards to ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. ”

Lou Yun asked, "Sister Yan, do you mean to let the pawn go first when playing chess?" Thinking of this, Lou Yun stopped the dishes and chopsticks, as if thinking about something.

Qiu Yuling asked, "Brother Yun, what's wrong?"

Lou Yun came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, let's continue to eat." It's never too late to talk about these things later. ”

Yan Feixue glanced at Lou Yun thoughtfully. Then continue eating.

Everyone ate very much, and after eating, Lin Luoyao went to take a lunch break. Murong Xuan and Gongsun Dulan also had no errands. Lin Luoyao was guarded by Qiu Yuling. The two of them went out shopping.

Yan Feixue and Lou Yun discussed the next deployment.

Yan Feixue took out a map, this is the current situation map marked by the Lianhua Society, this map clearly marks the actual sphere of influence and strength of each sect and alliance.

Yan Feixue pointed to the map and said: "Xiaoyun, you can see that this is the actual jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao Alliance now, at present, the entire Jingchuan Yundian is basically included in the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and now the Zhongzhou Alliance is only left in Zhongzhou, although the influence of the Tianying Society has become a lot smaller since the death of Tianyu Gongzi, but it has not hurt the vitality." Now it still governs, Xu Beng, Dongyue, Baiyue and other places. ”

Yan Feixue finally pointed to a small place and said, "This is the actual control range we have now." "The actual control area that Yan Feixue said is the actual control area of the Lianhua Society, only west of Tongguan, which includes some border areas in Yongliang, but this sphere of influence is based on Zhu Yunchang's fief. There are not only the girls of the Flower Society in this land, but also Zhu Yunchang's thousands of troops.

However, Zhu Yunchang's military horses were the main force guarding the border fortress, and although Yongliang's troops were Zhu Yunchang's private army, they were still nominal official troops. If the official army intervenes in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, then the matter will be much more serious, which is equivalent to the confrontation between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court again, and the bloody case decades ago may be repeated.

The affairs of the rivers and lakes can only come to the girls.

After Lou Yun looked at the map, he gasped, his eyes rolled, his brows furrowed, and he said to himself incredibly: "What is this Murong Zheng going to do?"

Yan Feixue asked, "Why Xiaoyun, do you see anything?"

Lou Yun said: "Sister Yan, what do people seek in this life?"

Yan Feixue thought about it for a while and said, "It's nothing more than fame, fortune and wealth." No one can escape these four people, including you and me. ”

Fame, self-interest, money, beauty. These are indeed four words that everyone can't escape.

Yan Feixue asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lou Yun pointed to the map and said, "Sister Yan, come and see the Heavenly Dao Alliance's power control range. What are these places?"

Yan Feixue took a look, and she said, "It is true that this is a place where the land is fertile, the products are rich, and the people are rich, and your Peacock Villa is also under the control of his Heavenly Dao Alliance. But what does this mean?"

Lou Yun analyzed: "Sister Yan, where does the economic support of the Lianhua Club come from?"

Yan Feixue said: "Of course it was issued by the prince. ”

Lou Yun said: "That's right, it was issued by the eldest brother, and the main financial source of the eldest brother is the tax revenue of Yongliang and Yongliang. The Zhongzhou League is eating the money of the imperial court, and most of the expenses of the Zhongzhou League are directly allocated by the imperial court. But the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Immortal Society are different. They are composed of Jianghu people themselves, and they can only find financial resources by themselves. ”

Yan Feixue said: "This doesn't mean anything. ”

Lou Yun continued to explain: "Murong Zheng's Heavenly Dao Alliance's power territory includes Jingchuan, Yundian and other places, these are all important places rich in natural resources, if Murong Zheng is just seeking wealth, he doesn't need to expand at all, he only needs to recover some major sects, and then recuperate." And now Murong Zheng's is now the marquis of the imperial court, the leader of the martial arts alliance, in this position, fame and fortune should not be important to him. So I can't figure out why he's co-opting these messy people. ”
