However, no one wants to be inferior forever, and those upper forces want to consolidate their power, and they don't want to fight the court.

After all, the tree is a big wind, and if one is not handled carelessly, there will be endless troubles.

But those who are unwilling to be ordinary don't have so many concerns, they squeeze their heads one by one and want to climb up.

In this way, as long as they can strengthen themselves and strengthen their own sect, they are willing to try any shortcuts.

Among them, annexing other forces is the best shortcut, so there has never been real peace in the rivers and lakes martial arts again.

However, those super-first-class and even top-level forces are like the imperial court, hoping that the situation in the world will be stable.

lest the strength of the forces below gradually increase, so that they will pose a threat to themselves.

Therefore, it will also be suppressed in secret, but after all, the rivers and lakes are not liked by the imperial court, and it is equally impossible for the sect to submit to the imperial court.

Those powerful sects, as long as they are forces that think they are famous and upright, they will not be able to cooperate with the imperial court under any circumstances.

On the contrary, they will also secretly give the court a black hand to maintain their status in the Jianghu martial arts.

If the imperial court is strong, it will subdue all the people and suppress the localities, so that the situation in the world will naturally be stable and undisturbed.

However, if the imperial court is weak, the forces of all parties are out of restraint, and turmoil naturally arises.

Even if those upper-level forces want to maintain the situation, they can't do it, and they can't cooperate with the imperial court to deal with the Jianghu martial arts forces.

If that's the case, it will be bad luck to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Under the general trend, follow the trend, so as to survive.

The super-first-class forces can use this to accumulate strength and go further, and the forces below also want to kill the rock that is pressing on their heads.

Under the vicious circle, the rivers and lakes are even more turbulent.

However, a top-level force like the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if it faces troubled times, as long as it does not die, there will basically be no problems, and there is no need to wade into troubled waters at all.

However, now that he is openly inserted into the local rebellion, this surprised Shangguan Qiuyu.

As early as not long ago, Shangguan Qiuyu learned from his cheap grandfather that Xichuan Houfu frequently mobilized troops.

Nominally, there has been a change in Miaojiang, but the princes of the court and the emperor himself are not fools, so I don't know what attention Xichuan Houfu is playing.

It's just that the other party didn't raise the anti-flag for a day, and the court had no excuse to send troops to recruit rebellion.

Fortunately, most of the checkpoints in and out of Sichuan were controlled by the imperial court, so the imperial court did not worry too much.

The imperial court has always wanted to find a chicken to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey, and now that Xichuan is waiting for this big fat chicken to jump out, the imperial court should not miss it.

Not only did he not close the door earlier, but he also deliberately opened the door so that he could jump out and jump.

But now it seems that the reason why Xichuan Hou's chicken dares to come out of the cage is that there is a snake behind him.

Moreover, it is also a poisonous snake, which makes it difficult to swallow.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately understood why top sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect had jumped out at this time.

One of the big reasons is that there are many forces in the Jianghu Martial Arts who are aware of the matter of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Gate.

Other Jianghu forces may not be clear, but a sect force with a long heritage like the Heavenly Sword Sect must be aware of some ancient secrets.

Only in this way can it be explained why a top-level sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect would blatantly jump out so early.

Obviously, the Heavenly Sword Sect has its own plans, and it is definitely not like in the past, the sect forces are making a small fuss behind their backs, manipulating local forces to rebel against the imperial court and exert pressure on the imperial court.

This time, a big force like the Heavenly Sword Sect jumped out, obviously wanting to occupy Xichuan in advance and take Xichuan as the foundation.

In order to deal with the uncertain factors faced after the opening of the extraterritorial heavenly gate.

In this way, it is not without certainty why the Xichuan Houfu will still make wind and rain in Xichuan even though it knows that it is not defeated by the imperial court, and the small actions are constant.

With the full support of a big force like the Heavenly Sword Sect behind it, even if the imperial court wanted to attack the Xichuan Marquis Mansion, it would not be an easy task.

At least, with the support of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was impossible for the imperial court to succeed in sending a strong man to assassinate Xichuan Hou.

If you can't solve the leader of Xichuan Hou, you can only send a large army to fight.

However, it is definitely not an easy task to defeat Xichuan Houfu, one of the four great god mansions.

As we all know, Xichuan is fertile for thousands of miles, known as the land of abundance, and the road into Sichuan is steep and abnormal.

If Xichuan can quickly eliminate the local forces in Xichuan, and then contain the dangers of entering Sichuan in his hands.

In that case, if the imperial court wants to deal with Xichuan, it will definitely not be able to do it overnight.

Moreover, the opening of the extraterritorial heavenly gate is imminent, and by that time, the imperial court is afraid that it will already have no intention of dealing with Xichuan.

In this way, Nishikawa will be the first force to break away from the control of the imperial court.

In this way, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Xichuan Houfu will be able to integrate the forces of the entire Xichuan to fight against the next changes opened by the Extraterritorial Heavenly Gate.

This step by step is linked to each other, and it is really exquisite, which makes Shangguan Qiuyu can't help but sigh that the other party actually took the first step in front of him.

This made Shangguan Qiuyu can't help but have a sense of urgency, you must know that Dayu's southern Xinjiang and Xichuan are the easiest places to break away from the imperial court and establish themselves as kings.

Because both places are remote, and at the same time, there are many dangers to guard.

As long as the Shangguan family wants to get out of the control of the imperial court, it can directly cut off the connection between southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains.

This is much better than Xichuan Hou's support of Xichuan, at least the local generals of Xichuan will not completely obey the orders of Xichuan Houfu, and there will be a lot of rebel forces at that time.

However, after the First Battle of the Southern Barbarians in Southern Xinjiang, Shangguanxiong, the Duke of Zhenguo, was able to respond to it and command the local armies of the entire five states of southern Xinjiang.

It is almost impossible to rebel in southern Xinjiang, and the only thing to fear is the Nanshen Houfu.

In any case, there are nearly three million elite soldiers under the command of Nanshen Houfu, but this is a big hidden danger.

However, fortunately, with the Nangong family, no matter what, now Nangong Shiluo has been recognized by Shangguanxiong, the Duke of Zhenguo.

As long as the Nangong family is not stupid, they know how to choose.

The Nangong family controls one-third of the elite soldiers under the command of the Nanshen Houfu, and can lead the Nanshen Houfu very well.

At the same time, Shangguan Qiuyu is also kind to the Shengjia, and two of the four bigwigs of the Shengjia have received his life-saving grace from Shangguan Qiuyu.

Coupled with the relationship between Shangguan Qiuyu and Qi Yan'er, the two families can now be described as friends rather than enemies, and it can be said that if the Shangguan family wants to stand on its own feet in southern Xinjiang, it is absolutely unstoppable.

However, now that Shangguan Qiuyu and his cheap grandfather are in Yucheng, there is one less person to talk about in the entire southern Xinjiang, which makes Shangguan Qiuyu a little worried.
