While a fierce contest was taking place in the palace, a secret meeting was taking place in another place outside the palace.

The streets of Fukuzawa Kyoto are crowded with people, and on one side of the street is the residence of Fukuzawa Taifu Ryōwei. Two waves of men and horses visited here in one day, one was Zhang Guang, the disguised lieutenant of the Great Lie, who and his entourage arrived at dawn and left at dawn. And the other wave of people is Yuntu Situ Yumou, he came alone, and left the Taifu Mansion with a cup of tea.

Their intentions were obvious, and they came to increase troops and food for the north. Da Lie believed that there would be a threat from the northern powers in the north and that he should quickly increase his troops and increase food, while Yuntu believed that the threat from the north was non-existent and that the distribution of grain should be business as usual.

Diagonally opposite the mansion was a teahouse, in which two men in their early forties sat in the teahouse. One is a star master of Fuze Country, and the other is Qiu Changlin, the son of Qiu Yue, the Taishi of Quanze Country.

What are they doing here, what are they talking about, and why is Qiu Changlin's face happy, shocked, sad, and angry?

Changlin and Xingshi once studied under a hidden monk in the Yuntu Mountains and Forests, who knew astronomy and geography and was a very talented person. Changlin graduated from the Star Master and kept in touch even after leaving the mountain gate.

Nagabayashi and his entourage will come to Fukuzawa Kyoto, except for the Izumisawa Imperial Palace, everyone else will stay in the hotel outside the palace. The star master calculated that the hotel where Changlin and his party stayed was bound to be Fuyuanlou, so he sent his servants to wait in the inn early.

A few days ago, as soon as Changlin moved in, the servant ran into Changlin. So he was invited to meet at this inn opposite Taifu's house at this time today, and repeatedly instructed him to act secretly and cautiously.

Today, the star master has a big matter for Changlin.

"I have been separated from my brother for several years, and I am very happy to see each other today. But I don't know that my brother suddenly came to me today, and I was asked to act cautiously, I don't know what's going on?" The two of them talked happily, but there were many puzzles that surrounded Qiu Changlin's mind.

"Well, let's have tea for a while, and we'll find out in a moment. ”

Changlin looked out the window boredly, and saw a tall and thin man entering the Taifu Mansion sideways. If Changlin is not mistaken, this person is Situ Yumou of the Cloud Earth Kingdom.

"It's him!"

"Exactly. The star master took a sip of tea, "Guess what he's doing here." ”

"Naturally, it was for the sake of Da Lie to propose the matter of increasing troops and food. ”

"Brother Changlin doesn't know, Zhang Guang, the captain of the morning martyrdom, also came here to ask for a meeting. ”

"This is not surprising, the Lord of Great Spirits has increased his troops and increased his food, but the Lord of Yuntu has not increased his troops, and the food will be distributed as usual. ”

"That's the case, then who do you think Taifu Lu Wei will listen to in the future, and how to tell King Yue. ”

"I don't know about this, I only know that my king advocates taking a step forward and understanding the current situation in the north. I don't know what Brother Tai thinks?"

The star master took another sip of tea, and then spoke eloquently. "Today, there are actually several contradictions. The first is the contradiction between the northern barbarians and the northern border guards, that is, the Great Lie Fuze coalition army. This second is the contradiction between Da Lie and Yun Tu's current disagreement. Thirdly, I think, it is the contradiction between Fukuzawa and the countries of the five continents. And the fourth, I'll talk about it later. ”

"Brother, please make it clear, I understand the first and second contradictions, and I don't understand the third contradiction. ”

"Brother Changlin, although the current Fuze has sufficient food, the countries have developed strong and strong for so many years, and there are often disputes over food. As far as I can see, if this matter is not properly handled, the nations will soon fight each other!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Brother Changlin, I actually didn't open my mouth here! It's really because I know something you don't know!"

"What?"

"Just half a month ago, I watched the stars at night, and the stars seemed to be dim, and it was calculated that the blessings would be both drought and flood, and a catastrophe was coming!"

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!"

"Please believe me, Brother Changlin, I was extraordinarily real that day. And I went to the treasure of the five continents to take a closer look at the heavenly spirit, and the heavenly spirit really had a vision, as if there was a dark fire boiling inside! Then I flipped through the ancient books all night and learned that this was the demonic spirit of the demon king who had appeared in ancient times! If such a monster returns to the world and awakens the demon race to devour mankind, there will be a disaster in the world! This is the fourth contradiction I want to talk about, the contradiction between the demon race and the human race. ”

Tongtian Spirit is an artifact that guards the peace of the five continents, and it can reach the sky, listen to the will of God, and call for wind, rain, thunder, and lightning in the world.

Demons, born in Pangu, they are extremely sinister, they can suck people's essence and blood, aura to improve their magic, can summon the soul of a resentful person, turn into a powerful ghost to harm the world, can attach to people with evil thoughts and manipulate him. And the demon king is the leader of the demon race, can call the demon race, and has unimaginable demon power. It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a great war in the land of Daliang where the demons devoured humans, and at that time, the lives were devastated, and the corpses were all over the field. Fortunately, the ancient gods rescued him, and fought with the demons for hundreds of rounds, and finally destroyed the demons. And the Ancient God Monarch also died with the Demon King in the final battle. The brave deeds of the ancient gods and kings have been spread in the world with songs and ballads, and the people are grateful and sung.

"If it's really as Brother Tai said, then how should I deal with it?"

"Therefore, I advocate that no matter what, Fuze cannot allocate grain, at least not all the grain to Da Lie, because if there is food, the strength is there, and if there is no food, if there is a disaster in the coming year, how can we take refuge!"

"What about Hu Rong Beidi?"

"When the situation is clarified, if there is no such thing, the Lie King will be suppressed, and if there is such a thing, the five continents will unite and attack him. When the crisis of the war in the north is resolved, the first contradiction and the second contradiction will be easily solved. The star master continued, "After that, unite the nations and try to unite the five continents." It is also necessary to monitor the vision of the heavenly spirit day and night to prevent the resurgence of the demon race and destroy the common people!"

Hearing this, Quanze Changlin was shocked, thoughtful, and asked after a while, "I don't know what the star master came to me to think about what I am doing this time?" Is it the same as Yuntu, thinking that my Quanze advisor persuaded King Yue not to increase troops and food?"

I saw the star master get up solemnly and kneel down on one knee in front of Changlin.

Chang Lin hurriedly wanted to help the star master up, "What is this for!"

"Before the national disaster, I have united a group of dead soldiers to advise His Majesty King Yue not to give the grain in the treasury to Da Lie, and must leave enough food to deal with the unpredictable crisis. Brother Wanwang told his father that he would join hands to persuade Quanze and Dadao to be of the same heart and persuade King Yue together! Again, I still have one thing to ask for, if he angers the emperor and causes the disaster of killing, may Brother Changlin save my family!"

At the end of the secret meeting, the two went home.

The content of this conversation was profound, and Changlin did not come out of shock for a long time.

When Changlin's carriage was driving on Fuze Street, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

The man was dressed in disguise as a small trader, and in front of him was a dazzling array of small objects.

The man was wearing a straw hat, and when Changlin's carriage passed by his stall, a gust of wind blew his straw hat to the ground, revealing his human face. Changlin was taken aback, isn't this the same Prince Izumi Zewen who disguised himself as a dancing girl and went out of the palace during the night banquet two days ago!
