Chapter 637: Can't Please Both Sides?

On a small boat, Luan Dongshi, Lu Guang and others stood at the stern of the boat, Kuhai kept a distance from everyone, and stood on the side with some woodenness, as for Chang Feng, he was accompanied by Meng Hang and Zhu Bailing, the two deputy hall masters, standing on the bow of the boat and enjoying the scenery of Yunmeng City on both sides of the waterway, while talking about some things about the branch hall of the Chu State.

"This Cloud Dream City is like an ordinary mortal capital, full of fireworks and fireworks, which seems a little out of place with us and other immortal cultivators. Looking at the low-rise buildings with white walls and black tiles on both sides of the waterway, Chang Feng can be said to be quite suspicious.

Meng Hang glanced at Zhu Bailing, and the woman who was good at communication immediately introduced to Chang Feng with a smile: "Hall Master, Yunmeng City is also divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, and the outer city is like this, full of fireworks, the reason why this is so is probably due to the gentleness of the people of Chu State, even if it is a person who cultivates immortals, it is easy not to argue with others." ”

"Moreover, the Chu State is located in the southern part of the Shanhai Continent, far away from the Endless Demon Mountain and the Nine Dragons Demon Realm, no matter how the big and small demon disasters broke out in history, it is difficult for the demon clan to attack here on a large scale, so there is no need to build any huge fortifications and formations in the outer city like the northern city. ”

"Even so, the inner city of Yunmeng, where the royal family of Chu lived, was built on the Yunmeng Mountain surrounded by waterways, although it was not as majestic as the Great Wilderness City, it also had a special atmosphere. ”

"There is a clear record in the history of the Chu State, the location of Yunmeng Mountain was a huge lake before, and the immortals of the Chu State worked together to move a big mountain and put it in the center of the lake, using it as the place where the capital of the Chu State was built. ”

"There are even rumors in the immortal cultivation world that the entire Yunmeng Inner City is a city of a large array, if the demon clan attacks and the large array operates, the entire Yunmeng Mountain can be moved, and Yunmeng City can leave the dangerous place with it. ”

"Heh, the immortals of the Chu Kingdom are really courageous, and if they have the opportunity, they will visit the inner city of Yunmeng. Hearing this, Chang Feng was also quite emotional, although people outside the city in Yunmeng were not allowed to enter easily, but he had the opportunity to enter.

After introducing the history and overall history of Yunmeng City, Zhu Bailing immediately signaled to Chang Feng around to introduce the layout of Yunmeng Outer City in detail.

Chang Feng has been to the Great Wilderness City, to Yanmen City of Yan Kingdom, to Honeywater City of Xirong Yue's Clan and Kangju City of Beihu Ghost Fang, he is considered a well-informed person, Zhu Bai Ling said a little, he understood the detailed layout of Yunmeng City.

After Zhu Bailing finished introducing Yunmeng City, Meng Hang immediately talked about political affairs to Chang Feng: "Hall Master, a few days ago, King Yang of Chu sent someone to the top of the hall to inquire about the date of your arrival?"

"Yang Wang...... But what kind of Huayang?" Chang Feng instantly remembered something.

"Exactly. Meng Hang nodded.

After hearing Meng Hang's affirmative reply, Chang Feng recalled many experiences in the Great Wilderness City.

He and Xiang Huayang got acquainted with the Six Kings Fighting Beasts, and with the help of the introduction of the prince of Qin Guoman, the two had a good friendship, and in addition to Xiang Huayang, Chang Feng's mind also appeared in the appearance of a woman full of tranquility and charm, which was really Xiang Huayang's sister, Xiang Zitong, the princess of Chu State.

"My lord, around the issue of the heir, in recent years, the Chu royal family has been fighting fiercely in the open and secret, and the future of our backers on the side of the Chu State is not very clear. Meng Hang then said another word to Chang Feng.

In addition to some formal recognition, some forces will also choose some princes as objects of cooperation in the Chu royal family to get the convenience of action and the support of interests.

For this point, Xuantian Sect is no exception, otherwise the power of Xuantian Sect in the Chu State Branch will inevitably be greatly suppressed.

"Tell me about the situation. "The problem that Meng Hang talked about is extremely important to Xuantian Sect, and it is also the first thing that needs to be dealt with, and Chang Feng naturally needs to pay attention to it.

"Hall master, in the state of Chu, the most promising successor to the throne is the three kings Xiang Wenle and the six kings Xiang Huayang, the current three kings in the state of Chu are extremely powerful, it is said that they have been recognized and supported by many uncles and ministers, and he himself is frequently moving in the state of Chu, and the call for inheriting the king of Chu is the highest. ”

"As for the other six kings, Xiang Huayang, this person also has some strength, but he is obviously inferior to the three kings, and the future is very uncertain. ”

"The direct worshipper of our Xuantian Sect in the Chu State is Xiang Yubai, the king of the rain, and that Xiang Yubai is the uncle of the three kings and the six kings, but he clearly expressed his support for Xiang Huayang, so if the three kings ascend the throne in the future, the power of this sect will inevitably be suppressed. ”

Before coming to the Chu State Branch, Chang Feng had also heard some news about the Chu royal family, but it was not so specific, and after listening to Meng Hang's narration at this time, he also understood something in his heart.

Frowning slightly, Chang Feng asked, "Doesn't the sect prohibit the branches of various countries from participating in the disputes of the royal families?"

In the face of Chang Feng's inquiry, Meng Hang and Zhu Bailing both smiled bitterly, and Zhu Bailing then explained: "Hall Master, although the sect has clear regulations, it is extremely difficult to implement. ”

"Just like today's Chu State, the two princes with the right to inherit are fighting openly and secretly, fighting for strength, means, resources, and connections...... All the means that can be used are used, and the various forces that set up branches in Yunmeng City are naturally no exception, and they have become the object of contention between the two kings. ”

"After all, being able to be recognized by more forces in the Shanhai Continent is also a manifestation of the strength of a prince, so whether we want to or not, we need to make a clear position on this issue, and it is either one or the other, and it is not even possible to curry favor with both sides of the mud. ”

"Can't please both sides?" Chang Feng was really puzzled.

"Hall master, according to the records, the Chu royal court has their own unique way of doing things, before the new king is determined, they will convene representatives of the other six countries, five sects and four families, three foreign clans and even overseas forces to vote, although the results of the vote have little impact on the determination of the new king, but after the new king ascends the throne, he will adjust his policy, and it is inevitable that he will favor his own forces. ”

"Does the Chu Royal Court still have such a tradition?" Hearing such a thing, Chang Feng was also a little speechless.

After thinking for a while, Chang Feng turned to ask, "What do the other forces think of the two kings?"

"The other six countries are an exception, they will not make a choice easily until the end, as for the other forces, the five sects and four families support the three kings slightly more. Meng Hang gave a clear answer.

"Nanban, what is the attitude of the Nanban Nine Divisions?" Chang Feng asked again.

The relationship between the Chu State and the Nanban State was close, and even the influence of the Nanban Nine Divisions on the Chu State was more obvious and significant than that of the Shanhai State, so Chang Feng naturally wanted to determine this key issue.

Hearing Chang Feng's question, Meng Hang and Zhu Bailing were both stunned, obviously realizing that Chang Feng had grasped the key to the problem.

"The Southern Barbarian Nine Divisions are very slippery, they only have a relationship with the King of Chu, as for which prince they fall behind their backs, they are all rumors in the rivers and lakes, and we don't know the real situation. This time, Meng Hang did not give a clear answer.

After listening to the two of them, Chang Feng frowned and thought for a while and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Chang Feng has his own ideas and decisions, but he also needs to listen to the opinions of his subordinates, after all, the two of them know more about the entire Chu State.

In the face of Chang Feng's inquiry, the two looked at each other, and Meng Hang immediately replied: "Now the three kings have the highest voice and the greatest support in the state of Chu, if there is no accident, he is very likely to become the next king of Chu, and his subordinates suggest that our cooperation with the rain king be temporarily reduced." ”

"The subordinates also have this opinion, the six kings are peaceful, the three kings are more outstanding, and his accession to the throne seems to be the general trend. Zhu Bailing then chimed in.

Turmoil may break out in Nanban, and the great changes that may occur in the city of the king of Chu will also have a huge impact on them, for a while, Chang Feng is also a little big, and he can't think of any way to deal with it, seeing that the two subordinates are frowning and looking at him, Chang Feng is calm smile and said:

"Don't worry, the future candidate for the king of Chu is related to us, but it is not for us to decide, and besides, the king of Chu will not abdicate in a short time, we don't need to worry now. ”

Seeing Chang Feng's attitude, Meng Hang and Zhu Bailing immediately didn't say anything, but with their understanding of Chang Feng, it was clear that this adult must have made a decision in his heart.
