Chapter 18: The Array Shakes
Chang'an City is full of traffic.
Monks and mortals rubbed shoulders with each other, and of course, in some special places, no monk and mortal dared to haunt at will.
And among them, Yuwen Hu's mansion is one of them.
As the regent of the Northern Zhou Dynasty today, although Yuwenhu's mansion is not as spacious as the imperial palace, the interior is no less than that of the imperial palace.
This can also see how arrogant Yuwen Hu is, but he also has the ability to be arrogant and domineering.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty was laid by Yuwentai, a powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and as Yuwentai's nephew, Yuwentai witnessed how Yuwentai was in power in the Western Wei Dynasty.
Now, everything he does is just imitating what Yuwentai did in the Western Wei Dynasty.
It's just that Yuwen Hu is more violent than Yuwentai.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty was actually established by Yuwenjue, the son of Yuwentai, but Yuwenjue, the filial piety emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was young and the power was in the hands of Yuwenhu.
Subsequently, Yuwen protected and killed Emperor Xiaomin, and established Yuwen Yu as the emperor.
Then, Yuwen Hu poisoned Yuwen Yu again.
In the end, Liyu Wenyong was the emperor and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Yuwen Hu killed the two emperors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty successively, but did not usurp the throne because the time was not ripe.
But now, Yuwen Hu doesn't want to endure it anymore, and feels that his wings are full.
Even if the Guanlong nobles, family lords, and cultivation sects did not recognize his orthodoxy, then he would recruit Shandong scholars as his help.
It's a big deal, if the Righteous Path Sect still doesn't recognize it, then take refuge in the Demon Sect.
Therefore, at this moment, the Guanlong nobles and the cultivation sect are very cautious, although they all feel that Yuwen Yong is orthodox, but they do not dare to force Yuwen Hu too much, otherwise, if Yuwen Hu really leads the demon sect forces into the Northern Zhou, it will make the righteous path sects even more tricky.
Of course, now that the Shandong Shi clan has taken refuge in Yuwen Hu, then Yuwen Hu has accepted the Shandong Shi clan, which means that it is almost impossible for him to rely on the Demon Gate like the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Yuwen Hu is also very shrewd, he knows that forming an alliance with the Shandong Shi clan will not cause the disgust of the family lords and cultivation sects.
In this case, as long as he can kill Yuwen Yong again, then it is not easy for the family gate lord and the cultivation sect to say anything.
After all, the family gate valve and the cultivation sect had already stopped him three times!
From initially not letting him establish the Northern Zhou Dynasty, to killing the second emperor successively, and having three chances to ascend the throne, Yuwen Hu could only watch it pass away in vain.
But now, Yuwen Yong is very ambitious, and he wants to kill him and regain the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, Yuwen Hu could no longer tolerate it because of the family gate valve and the cultivation sect.
Chu Yao rode in a carriage and drove around the Yuwen Hu Mansion, and suddenly, the array talisman in Chu Yao's dantian shook slightly.
In an instant, Chu Yao's innate true yuan wrapped around the formation talisman and did not let the formation talisman continue to vibrate.
At this moment, Chu Yao's eyes suddenly shone with a glimmer of light!
The divine consciousness sank into the dantian, and Chu Yao saw the formation talisman that had just vibrate, which was a two-pole array talisman.
The two-pole array talisman sensed the two-pole sword array compass, and this was the sympathetic of qi and machine.
Then it seems that the two-pole sword array compass is in the Yuwen Hu Mansion.
Although he knew that there was a two-pole sword array compass in Yuwen Hu's mansion, it was not easy to get his hands on it.
Even with your toes, you can think that in the Yuwen Hu Mansion, there must be a lot of power.
Over the years, Yuwen Hu has also spared no expense to hire doormen and accept righteous sons, if there is no righteous son and doormen to help, he will not be able to take charge of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Chu Yao knew the compass of the two-pole sword array, but the ghost made the god worse, and the thought of telling the ten old men about this did not rise in his mind.
Chu Yao wanted to get the formation plate alone, so as to prove it to the ten old men.
Back in the inn, Chu Yao lay on the bed and thought carefully.
"If I take refuge in Yuwen Hu as a disciple of the Zhentian Sword Sect, then in a short period of time, it will be impossible for Yuwen Hu to be valued by Yuwen Hu. Because my cultivation is too low, I only have the innate realm, and for Yuwen Hu, it won't help at all. In this case, it is almost impossible to get the array plate. ”
"If you can't take refuge in Yuwen Protection, then it seems that you can only take refuge in Yuwen Yong. Although Yuwen protects the Northern Zhou, after all, Yuwen Yong is orthodox. And although the history of the previous life cannot be trusted, the arrogant and domineering Yuwen Hu should not be Yuwen Yong's opponent in the end. And once Yuwen Yong kills Yuwen Hu, he will definitely wipe out his family. In that case, I have a chance to get the formation. ”
"Moreover, if I take the lead in raising the banner of the Zhentian Sword Sect to join Yuwen Yong, then Yuwen Yong will definitely welcome it. It is impossible for Yu Wenyong not to see the situation of the Zhentian Sword Sect now. It is obvious that the Zhentian Sword Sect is controlled by a family of cultivators. Among the major cultivation families, the Zheng family is the strongest. And according to the Shandong Shi clan's support for Yuwen Hu, Yu Wenyong definitely wants to dig into the corner. ”
"It's just that there is another problem with taking refuge in Yuwen Yong, that is, cultivating to the innate realm cannot become the core of Yuwen Yong, and Yu Wen Yong is still careful to guard against it. In addition, doing so will cause Yuwen Hu to be extremely hostile. In the future, in this Chang'an City, I am afraid it will be difficult to move an inch. ”
For a while, Chu Yao kept thinking about it in his heart and weighing the pros and cons.
For a while, Chu Yao had difficulty making up his mind.
Chu Yao didn't know that there was another person at this moment, who was also entangled with him like this.
That is Yuan Gongzi, in the small town, Yuan Gongzi has waited for so long, but he has never seen the disciple of the Zhentian Sword Sect who has gone down the mountain to practice.
The guard 'Wu Fang' said uncertainly: "Childe, did you say that the disciple of the Zhentian Sword Sect, who went down the mountain to practice, did not come to this town, but went directly to Chang'an?"
Yuan Gongzi frowned slightly: "There is this possibility, but we have waited for so long, but in vain." When you return to the clan, how do you explain it?"
This question has been thinking about these days.
Wu Fang smiled bitterly: "Childe, I'm afraid I can only explain honestly." I didn't receive a disciple who went down the mountain to practice, so I can't lie and say that I made friends with the other party. In case you really meet in Chang'an City, and the lie is exposed, I'm afraid that Gongzi, your status in the clan will be worrying. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Gongzi was furious.
"It's really hateful, the disciples of the Zhentian Sword Sect who are down the mountain play their cards so unruly. Let Ben Gongzi wait here for so long, not to mention that this mission has not been completed, and when he returns to the clan, he doesn't know how much pressure he will have to bear. ”
The Ukrainian side was silent, but at this moment, something suddenly came to mind in his mind.
"Childe, you said that the sword cultivator we offended before could it be a disciple of the Zhentian Sword Sect who went down the mountain to practice?"
Wu Fang didn't know why he suddenly remembered, but at this moment, as a real person of Jindan, he had a whim.
Yuan Gongzi retorted without hesitation: "How is it possible? That sword cultivation is a sword immortal, although the Zhentian Sword Sect belongs to the Sword Dao Sect, everyone knows that the Zhentian Sword Sect uses the 'Sword Array' to deter the cultivation world." Although the internal fighting of the Zhentian Sword Sect has intensified in recent years, no one dares to underestimate the strength of the Zhentian Sword Sect. Otherwise, Ben Gongzi would not have come here to wait. ”
Wu Fang nodded in approval: "This is also true, not to mention, the 'Rainbow Sword Escape' belongs to the peerless school of the Sword Immortal lineage." I haven't heard of it, the Zhentian Sword Sect will be a peerless master!"
But having said that, this thought is like a shadow in the heart, and the Ukrainian side can't get rid of it.
In the palace, Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong wore a nine-dragon robe and a crown of heaven, and sat on the imperial chair.
Below, it is the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion who he personally accepted his fate.
"Participate in my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat!" Yu Wenyong was calm.
Only then did the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion get up.
"I ask you, these days, has the Recruitment Hall ever recruited young talents?" Yu Wenyong asked a little anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the Zhaoxian Pavilion has recruited some young talents these days, but most of them are scattered in the mountains. If Your Majesty wants to rely on them to fight that side, I'm afraid there are some shortcomings. "The owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, as Yu Wenyong's absolute pro-confidant, naturally understands Yu Wenyong's anxiety.
Previously, during the court meeting, Yuwen Hu said to Yuwen Yong that the Northern Zhou wanted to unify the north and conquer the Northern Qi, and a large number of young heroes were needed to join the Praetorian Guard, so as to improve the strength of the first army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Obviously, Yuwen Hu, who has the support of the Shandong Shi clan, is ready to insert his tentacles into the Praetorian Guard.
After Yuwen Yong succeeded to the throne, he knew that sooner or later, he would have a conflict with Yuwen Protection. Yuwen Hu's previous actions of killing the second emperor made Yuwen Yong often have nightmares.
Therefore, Yuwen Yong focused on strengthening the Praetorian Guard, although he was the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the vast majority of the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of the Guanlong nobles.
And the Guanlong nobles did not help him in the dispute with Yuwen Hu.
Although Yuwen Hu has a certain amount of power in the army, he is not as good as the Guanlong nobles.
And in order to balance Yuwen Hu, the Guanlong nobles let go and let Yuwen Yong completely take charge of the Praetorian Guard.
And the existence of the Praetorian Guard made Yuwen Hu feel like a fish in his throat.
The army under his control is not in the capital.
And he is in the capital, at such a critical moment, the Praetorian Guard can give him a fatal blow.
The army of the human dynasty made the cultivation world quite fearful.
Although acquired martial artists and innate martial artists are not valued by the cultivation world, if tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of innate martial artists gather together, even the great power can only retreat.
Even the top-level cultivators could not force an army of millions of innate martial artists.
That monstrous blood can seal the void.
Coupled with the suppression of the dragon qi in the human world, this makes the strength of the human dynasty no less than that of the top cultivation sects.
Because of this, over the years, the cultivation sect has gradually cultivated its own Dao soldiers.
And the system of Taoist soldiers comes from the human dynasty.
The current human dynasty is no longer as prosperous as in the Middle Ages.
In the history of the world, the former Great Qin, the Great Han, and the immortal army were so powerful that even the hundreds of schools of thought could not compete.
"The Praetorian Guard cannot afford to be mistaken, and must not allow Yuwen Hu to install his men into the Praetorian Guard. On our side, we must find a young handsome man to fight against the younger generation of the Shandong Shi clan!" Yu Wenyong said coldly.
"Your Majesty, if you want to prevent Yuwen Hu from getting his wish, I'm afraid Your Majesty can only ask the nobles of Guanlong. Only the younger generation of the Long nobles can compete with the younger generation of the Shandong Shi clan. The owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion smiled bitterly.
"No, in addition to the Guanlong nobles, there are also cultivation sects. The younger generation of the Cultivation Sect was definitely able to suppress the Shandong Shi Clan. Otherwise, the cultivation world will still not be dominated by the cultivation sect, but by the world of the family lords. Yu Wenyong categorically refused the advice of the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion.
If the nobles of Guanlong really supported him wholeheartedly, he would have killed Yuwen Hu a long time ago!
