The territory of Qi is extremely vast, mainly mountains and grasslands, and the territory is hundreds of lands and nomadic herders, and the people are fierce, and they are not rich. Even in the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was only barely as rich as the Qingzhou City under the jurisdiction of the Southern Liang State.

Recently, the atmosphere in the Northern Qi Dynasty seems to be a little tense, and troops and horses from all over the country have been frequently mobilized, and they are all gathering along the border between the Northern Qi State and the Great Zhou State. The guards at the gate of the Northern Qi King City were even more strict in checking the pedestrians entering and leaving the city.

More than ten days later, Ye Qin walked on the streets of the Northern Qi Dynasty and could clearly feel the tense atmosphere in the city. After he entered the capital of Northern Qi, he sent a hundred miles to Yan Xuan and others, and asked them to meet in a high-class restaurant in the city, "Zuixiang Building".

At noon, two male friars, whose faces were covered with cloaks, knocked on the door and entered a private room in the Drunken Country Building.

The monk lifted the red cloak, revealing a beautiful face, this was Yan Xuan, she smiled at Ye Qin, who was drinking alone in the private room, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Ye Qin's eyes lit up, then he returned to calm, nodded, and when he saw Zhu Changyun and the future, he couldn't help asking, "Why is it only the two of you, Senior Brother Zhu?"

The chubby Lu Yuan, who was following behind, came out from behind and said angrily: "Don't mention that kid, since he arrived in the Northern Qi Kingdom, he hasn't done anything serious except eating, drinking, and having fun."

Now I'm drinking flower wine with those Lu disciples in the palace, where can I get down to business. ”

Yan Xuan said helplessly: "Senior Brother Zhu is a member of the Zhu family, and this experience has nothing to do with their Zhu family. (More new chapters are available.] He is purely here to make up the numbers, but he just treats this experience as a play, and he will not do his best, just waiting for the three-year training period to expire, and then return to Qingmen. So this experience can only be completed by the three of us. ”

Ye Qin was very helpless.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, there was not much nonsense.

Yan Xuan took out a large scroll from the storage bag on her waist and spread it out on a square table in the room.

Ye Qin came to the table and looked at it, and now this is a paper topographic map, which is marked with some very detailed fortresses and military towns. This is obviously not a map used by immortal cultivators, but a secular military map.

"I didn't come to draw a map, so I could only take a map from the army of the Northern Qi Imperial Court, and I will use it. Yan Xuan explained in a light tone, then pointed to the terrain above and said, "The Northern Qi Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom here are the territories of my Lu family and the Zhou family respectively. Separated by thousands of miles of narrow jungle and valleys, which can only be passed by mountain trails, there are a number of military passes, and this jungle and valley is the natural border between the two countries. ”

Ye Qin was stunned, the jungle that Yan Xuan was referring to was the one he had passed through. The Northern Qi and Great Zhou armies fought a skirmish here.

He looked at the map that was full of drawings, and suddenly pointed to a large narrow blank space at the top of the map scroll, and asked, "What is this blank space? Why is there no mark here?"

Yan Xuan looked at the blank space on the map, his expression seemed to be a little jealous, and said, "If you cross the Northern Qi Kingdom and continue to go northeast, it will be the Wanyue Lake Immortal Cultivation Realm, and if you go to the northwest, it will be the Heavenly Dome Origin Immortal Cultivation Realm." And this blank belt is the buffer zone of the three major immortal realm cultivators, Lingwu, Wanyue Lake, and Heavenly Dome Plain, which is called the land of chaos. In this chaotic land, there are many extremely powerful monks, and people from the Lu family rarely go there. ”

Ye Qin said in surprise: "So, the northern boundary of the Northern Qi Kingdom's Spirit Mist Cultivation Immortal Realm?" He had heard the head of the Qingmen Wu Sect talk about this Wanyue Lake and the Heavenly Dome Plain. They have a different origin from the Spirit Mist Immortal Realm.

Yan Xuan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Northern Qi still belongs to the territory of the Spirit Mist Cultivation Immortal Realm, and after Northern Qi, it will no longer be." The monks of Wanyue Lake and the Heavenly Dome Origin Immortal Cultivation Realm, and our Spirit Mist Cultivation Immortal Realm, have always been well water and not river water. Although the monks of the various immortal cultivation realms occasionally enter each other's territory, they will not occupy territory in the other party's territory. Otherwise, it is easy to lead to a great battle in the immortal world. ”

Ye Qin was thoughtful. The group of monks and black-clothed monks he met in the jungle, the people from the Buddha Palace and the Red Cloud Sect, they should not be the monks of the Spirit Mist Immortal Realm, but from the Land of Chaos, or the Ten Thousand Moon Lake and the Heavenly Dome Plain. (Latest and most complete)

"Master Yan, do you know that there is a Red Cloud Sect and Demon Buddha Palace near Northern Qi. ”

Yan Xuan shook his head and said, "Red Cloud Sect, I have been in the Qingmen since I was a child, and I am not very familiar with the situation here, so I have never heard of it. Let me tell you about the current situation in Northern Qi first. The Northern Qi and the Great Zhou have been at peace with each other for hundreds of years, and there are even marriages. The year before last, a low-level monk from the Northern Qi Kingdom was on his way to find the elixir, and he accidentally found a small vein of spiritual stone in the border valley. The Lu family is preparing to dig up spirit stones here. However, the matter was not kept strictly confidential and was leaked. ”

Ye Qin was puzzled: "How did such important information leak out?"

Yan Xuan said helplessly: "It leaked out from the palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty." Northern Qi and the Great Zhou royal family have a marriage, a county lord of the Zhou family, the prince of my Lu family's secular royal family. The prince knew a thing or two about this, and once he was drunk, he accidentally revealed it, so this information was leaked out and learned by the monks of the Zhou family. The Zhou clan gave birth to the heart of snatching this small spirit stone vein, and the two families became hostile because of this, and there was a constant war in the border area. Because of this, the prince has been deposed, and the prince has also been given poisoned wine to commit suicide. ”

Ye Qin was speechless, such important information was leaked out like this, and the Lu family was unlucky enough.

He asked, "How strong are the Lu family and the Zhou family?"

Yan Xuan explained in detail: "My Lu family has seven monks in the foundation building period and more than eighty monks in the qi cultivation period. The Zhou family has six monks in the foundation building period and more than 70 monks in the qi training period. The two immortal cultivation families are basically on par. If the two families clash head-on, neither side will have a good place. ”

Ye Qin nodded silently, and his heart suddenly felt at ease, the two immortal cultivation families did not have Jindan stage cultivators, so it would be easy to do. He was very jealous of the strength of the Jindan period monks.

Yan Xuan said: "If you add the four of us, there are now eleven foundation building period monks in Northern Qi. However, there are many disciples of the Beast Spirit Sect in the Zhou family, and they will definitely ask the Beast Spirit Sect for support. So in the end, the strength of the two sides in cultivating immortals is about the same. ”

"And how are you going to resolve this conflict?"

"Go to war!"

"How are you going to fight the Zhou family?"

Ye Qin was startled and wrinkled

Road. If the two major immortal cultivation families of Lu and Zhou start fighting, then he will seriously leave here and give up his experience. He went down the mountain to train for three years, but he didn't come to act as a thug of the Lu family. Even if he offended the Lu family because of this, he didn't plan to get involved in such a bloody battle. No matter who wins or loses in these two families, it will not directly benefit him, and he can't risk his life to fight for it.

"Of course, it wasn't us who cultivated immortals, but we used the armies of Northern Qi and Great Zhou to start the war. (Full format]" Yan Xuan said with a sly smile, "Senior Brother Ye may not know much about the customs of the Great Cultivation Immortal Family. The Great Cultivator Immortal Families would never easily go to war with each other. The Great Cultivator Immortal Family has its own country and territory, and they will not violate each other at will.

The most common method used by the Great Cultivator Immortal Clan is to send their own mortal army to capture the opponent's territory and occupy the enemy family's territory. In this way, blood feuds between the Immortal Cultivation families can be avoided as much as possible.

If the Zhou Clan's Immortal Cultivator Family and the Lu Clan's Immortal Cultivator Family fought directly, and the important cultivators of both sides were killed or injured, it would be easy to form a mortal enemy. Then it will lead to the intervention of the two major sects of the Qingmen and the Beast Spirit Sect, which will spread and escalate the war, which is a situation that no one wants to see. Therefore, unless it is intended to exterminate the opponent, the Great Cultivation Immortal Family will not easily fight directly.

Sending out mortal armies to conquer territory is the best way to resolve conflicts. The mortal armies of the two countries will fight on the border, bringing this valley thousands of miles long into their respective borders. Once the official national borders were established, the family would naturally be able to occupy the spirit stone veins in this valley in the name of the word.

Not only our Lu family will do this, but the Zhou family will do the same. When the war is over, the valley will be under the control of one country, and the other family will have nothing to say. However, secular wars tend to last for long periods of time, and it is not uncommon for them to be fought for years or decades. (The latest and most complete)"

Ye Qin was stunned for a moment.

He somewhat understood why there were a large number of mortal soldiers in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and even the atmosphere in the royal city was tense. It turned out that the Lu family wanted to send these mortal armies to fight for the border and seize the spirit stone minerals in the valley.

Ye Qin was puzzled: "Since the Northern Qi sent an army to seize the border. So what do we need to do?"

Yan Xuan said: "Our experience this time is naturally to help the Lu family occupy this small spirit stone vein. The first thing to do is to try to find out how many reserves there are in this spirit stone vein. Secondly, find out the situation of the Zhou family and their reinforcements. After receiving this accurate information, the sect made a decision on whether it was necessary to send more disciples to support. ”

Ye Qin said: "How to find out the reserves of the spirit stone vein?"

Yan Xuan said: "At least one mine must be opened in order to find out the thickness of the spirit stone ore layer, the more ore channels, the more accurate the exploration." It's just that now the Lu family and the Zhou family have sent many monks to guard near the ore vein to prevent the other party's monks from digging holes and mining in the valley. Therefore, it is still difficult for our family members to find out the reserves of the ore vein. What can be done now is to try to find out the situation of the Zhou family. In order to complete this experience, Senior Brother Zhu had a proposal. ”

Ye Qin said: "What proposal?"

Yan Xuan glanced at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan came out from behind and said, "I, Tang, and Senior Brother Zhu stayed in the Northern Qi Kingdom, while Senior Brother Ye personally infiltrated the Great Zhou Kingdom to investigate the situation of the Zhou family. ”

After hearing this, Ye Qin immediately frowned, and said lightly: "I go to Da Zhou alone, what does this mean?"

Lu Yuan showed a helpless expression and said: "I, and Tang are all members of the Lu family, and there are a lot of people who know the two of us, so they will definitely not be able to sneak into the Great Zhou Kingdom." Even if he is Senior Brother Zhu, he has already swaggered around in the Northern Qi Royal City, and his identity has long been exposed, and he will inevitably be targeted by the secret agents of the Great Zhou. Only Senior Brother Ye has just arrived, and his whereabouts are secretive, and his identity has not yet been revealed, so he can completely disguise his identity and infiltrate the Great Zhou Kingdom to investigate intelligence. The division sent me and four others to come to experience, so naturally I hope that we can make a contribution. Senior Brother Ye ventured into the Great Zhou country alone to find out information, and this first credit belongs to Senior Brother Ye. ”

After Ye Qin listened, he didn't show any expression on his face, but he scolded Zhu Changyun and Lu Yuan in his heart. He nested in the Northern Qi to enjoy himself, but proposed to let him go to the Great Zhou Kingdom for adventure.

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Qin's expressionless face, and felt a little worried in his heart. Now, it is very difficult for him to guess the intentions of this Senior Brother Ye, and said: "As far as I know, the Zhou family is recruiting immortal cultivators to help them, and if Senior Brother Ye disguises his identity and blends in, he can completely understand their situation." ”

Ye Qin looked at Yan Xuan and Lu Yuan, who were full of anticipation, and fell silent. Simply entering the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom and seeking information is actually not dangerous. The real danger is that the Zhou family's foundation building period monk appeared, which is not a joke.

Yan Xuan blinked at Ye Qin, as if she had guessed his worries, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, only the four of us know your identity. Except for the four of us, it is impossible for anyone else in Northern Qi and Great Zhou to know your identity. Northern Qi and Dazhou are far away from Qingmen, and it is a year to come and go. Even if someone in the Zhou family doubts your identity, it will take at least a year or more to be confirmed. When Senior Brother Ye enters the Great Zhou Kingdom, the people of the Zhou family will only win over you, and they will not attack you easily. As long as the information of the Zhou family can be obtained, this mission will be considered a success for the most part. ”

"I'm going to the Great Zhou Kingdom. However, I can't guarantee whether I can get the information of the Zhou family. ”

Ye Qin said a little depressed. I still have to go to this Great Zhou Kingdom. Don't expect him to risk his life to get some information back, though. Zhu Changyun's guy is enjoying himself in the royal city of Northern Qi and can't do anything. Yan Xuan and Lu Yuan also stayed in the Northern Qi Kingdom safely, why should he, an unrelated person, take such a risk.

Even if he wants to take risks, he should take risks with the people of the Lu family, not him, an outsider.

If it was an ordinary monk, he might have the intention of desperately helping the Lu family to seize the spirit stone vein, so as to tie up the Lu family. But he, Ye Qin, didn't have any thoughts in this regard.

The credit he made for Qingmen was far more than the benefits that Qingmen gave him. The Lu family still owes him a favor that he hasn't repaid.

In the past three years, he has traveled to the surrounding countries, or found a quiet place to retreat and cultivate, and then returned to Qingmen after the time passed. Even if he didn't make any credit in the experience, could Qingmen still be able to remove him from his name because of this.

Yan Xuan and Lu Yuan didn't know what Ye Qin was thinking at the moment, and when they saw him agree, they were immediately overjoyed.
