The Persian army suffered a lot of losses under the surprise attack of the Demon Palace masters, so they had to temporarily stop the attack. And this also gave the coalition forces of the city-states in the Western Regions a chance to breathe, and naturally gave the Demon Palace a chance to redeploy! But even so, those who held the power of a country refused to march to the Central Plains according to Yu Fangsheng's proposal.

Because they are not as gullible as ordinary people are to believe in rhetoric, or the power and position they actually have, so that they can not be deceived by false "gods"!

The fertile land of the Central Plains is certainly fascinating, but for the lords of the city-states in the Western Regions, the Persian army behind them is still like a thorn in the back, and they may be left with nothing at any time. Then no matter how many interests are placed in front of them, it is not enough for them to take risks.

Yu Fangsheng is also a generation of heroes, of course he understands the mentality of those who are originally just benefit sharing. And he is not stupid, not to mention that what he hopes is to use the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions to help him sweep the world, and it is not just to be able to go to the Central Plains, even if he is robbed by Persia!

However, he still had a question in his heart! That is, in the past hundred years, the Persian Empire has been strong and powerful, and its troops are invincible, especially in the battles at sea. It stands to reason that although there are no actual interests involved between the two countries, they are still relatively dependent on each other's trade. At least compared to the Central Plains, the Western Regions were more beneficial to Persia. Of course, if the Central Plains Imperial Court claims to be willing to share the territory of the Western Regions with anyone, let alone Persia, no one can refuse.

However, no matter how powerful Banqin is, no matter how famous he is, no matter how high his martial arts are, in the final analysis, he is just a martial artist, how can he convince the Persian court that he has the ability and power to fulfill the promise that can only be fulfilled by the strength of a country?

Yu Fangsheng had already sent someone to investigate secretly, but he did not find any movement of the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains Imperial Court. And there is no reason for the Persian royal court to be gullible in sending troops based on just one side, and then find out that it has been deceived!

So if this matter is not for someone to make trouble in secret, then Banqin really has some way to deceive the Persian Empire, but the latter is really very unlikely!

In terms of martial arts, Yu Fangsheng had already reached the pinnacle! In terms of intelligence, he was by no means ordinary! What Xuexi and Banqin could think of, it was absolutely impossible for him to keep him in the dark for a long time! Therefore, Yu Fangsheng quickly remembered the figure who had once pretended to be himself and caused his sect to be devastated!

When he knew about this at the time, Yu Fangsheng always thought that it was nothing more than Banqin secretly instructing people to do it. But now that I think about it, even with Yin Yaoji's secret help, how can Yu Mohan, Qiantian and others get along with him day and night for so many years, and they can't see the slightest flaw?

And if that impostor was not instructed by Banqin, who was it, what was his purpose, and what does it have to do with the current situation?

Moreover, what do Banqin and Xuexi think about this situation? If their guess is correct, then Banqin should have known about it, or guessed that there was another mysterious force slowly infiltrating and gradually beginning to grasp the whole situation!

It is precisely because of this that Banqin will give up the great opportunity to confront the Persian army in the Western Regions and not make a move to himself. And he would do this, obviously not taking the other force as a companion, is he waiting for both sides to lose?

But that force is so mysterious and unpredictable, and obviously extremely large, how could he be allowed to sit back and reap the benefits? It seems that now they are both tacitly aware of each other, and only themselves are completely kept in the dark!

However, since they don't trust each other, there is still a glimmer of life in this gap. In any case, Yu Fangsheng is by no means a character who is willing to be beaten passively......

The Western Regions had been under attack by the Persian army for several months, and although the situation had been stabilized for the time being, it was obvious that the side that had been beaten was at a disadvantage! And throughout the ages it seems that everyone knows that when there is peace, they do not care about the land of the Central Plains. And when the need comes, give them a small advantage to satisfy the pathetic vanity of the lowly rulers of that land, and they can be tempted to seduce them to their own brains!

Xuexi looked at his apprentice helplessly, because his kind reminder to the imperial court was only exchanged for a polite reproach!

"I don't have a deep friendship with the current dynasty, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, they were polite and courteous to me, but they didn't have any actual contact! Although I am bitter now, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty advocated the maintenance of the Western Regions. It seems that this time, Yu Fangsheng has put a lot of effort into it!"

Banqin nodded lightly: "If the days of comfort are too long, they will be uneasy about the status quo! Although Yu Fangsheng's strength is not small, for the imperial court, the desire for profit for the ministers is consumed, and the one who is the king is self-righteous! But they have all forgotten that since ancient times, only when they have to do so or have a plan, will the neighboring countries regard the Central Plains as the upper state of the Heavenly Empire! But when did the Central Plains Imperial Court not move stones to shoot themselves in the foot and lure wolves into the house?"

"Hey, but what should we do now? The imperial court will send 200,000 troops to aid the Western Regions, regardless of the year or month of this war. But if there is a sudden change in the Demon Palace at this time, the martial arts will be in danger!"

Banqin smiled slightly, nodded and said, "The victory or defeat of the two armies is unpredictable, and the time is not short. In the end, except for the front-line soldiers, the unlucky ones were always just ordinary people, and there was not much harm to those in power! However, the needless dispatch of troops led to an unwarranted disaster. Since the imperial court doesn't care about their own country, why should I feel sorry for them?"

Xue Xi's heart trembled when she heard this, she stared at her apprentice deeply, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "You have already thought of a countermeasure?"

Banqin sneered slightly: "In southern Xinjiang, the countries of western Myanmar have always been persecuted in the Western Regions, and there are countless dead people in the Demon Palace. However, the Saibei herdsmen have repeatedly violated the border for many years, but the border guards have lied about the military situation, so that the people in the border have complained. If the Central Plains and foreign tribes carry out at this time, it will definitely only increase the anger of the people, and it will be difficult to protect the ......."

"You ......"

Hearing that his worries would actually come true, Xue Xi was greatly shocked in his heart, and immediately shook his head again and again: "No! No! If there is a civil war in the Central Plains, wouldn't it be even more devastating? If you do this, you are just killing chickens and taking eggs, and it will not help!"

Banqin glanced at the old man lightly, and asked playfully: "Without war, the life of the common people will be a little better?" And if it continues, no matter how the 200,000 troops in front of them win or lose, the people of the Central Plains will inevitably be in dire straits, and you will expect the dynasty to protect the people? Besides, if the Persian army is really repulsed and the crisis in the Western Regions is lifted, they will definitely suddenly turn against each other, and they will not be the same when the time comes?

Xue Xi frowned tightly when he heard this, he knew very well that what his apprentice said was not alarmist, but a lesson that had happened too many times over thousands of years! For this world, all conventions and conventions have no binding force at all. If war is inevitable and all well-intentioned dogmas are useless, then there is only a way to shorten the period of suffering!

After a long time, Banqin sighed softly: "Master, I am not saying this to ask for your consent, but the current situation is no longer able to stop the development of the situation, and it is not something that can be ended by anyone who is willing to sacrifice himself! As for the future, it depends on whether I have the fate to wait until then......"

Hearing his plan, even Hyun-jeong couldn't help but be stunned in surprise! But when he thought about it, if more people only hope to get rid of war and kill as soon as possible, then what is the need for worldly spitting?

"Well, I don't approve of your approach emotionally, but in fact you convinced me again. In order to avoid further sacrifices, it is okay to be a traitor! No matter how bad or bad it is, it is not always those who survive the catastrophe?"

Banqin nodded calmly: "I have long heard that the prime minister of the dynasty is quite eloquent, and this time the Western Regions asked for help, although he did not obstruct it, but he did not approve of it! You can go to him and explain what I mean." I will remove all obstacles for him, but he must make sure to leave room for me and Yu Fangsheng in a life-and-death battle!"

"It seems that you really made up your mind this time?"

Banqin was firm, but nodded slowly: "I will use the rest of the time to do everything I have to do, even if even you think I am selfish, but since I have come to this point where I can control the life and death of others, who can not be selfish?"

Looking at him melancholy, Xianzhen sighed softly: "Although it will be a success, if you can, I really hope that you can do your best to find a way to save yourself." Anyway, we will all share everything, and you will never be lonely......"

As he spoke, Kenshin suddenly burst into the door and interrupted the conversation between the two. And Hyun-jung wasn't in the mood to be funny anymore, so she excused herself to be sad alone!

After sitting down, Kenshin asked strangely, "What's wrong?" I think the Taoist priest is weird today, it's not the same as usual!"

Smiling, Banqin shook his head and said, "It's nothing! Now the situation is very complicated, and he is not in the mood to mess around." When everything calms down, are you afraid that he won't relapse?"

Kenshin nodded and smiled, and gently snuggled into his arms: "When that time comes, we can let go of everything and truly live our own lives!"

Nodding, Banqin can only endure the pain in his heart! There are indeed people in this world who can manipulate the fate of others, but there is really no one who can control their own destiny. Therefore, they will make those who have hurt themselves pay the price! Let them understand that when they calculate others, they will also bear the consequences of perhaps more suffering!

Walking out of the Yixia Villa, Banqin stepped on the Xue ancestral hall. Yin Yaoji heard the footsteps behind her and slowly turned around, but did not open her mouth to hand over a letter!

Banqin finished reading it calmly, rubbing it in his hand and laughing: "He finally found out, and he really lived up to my dedication to him!"

Looking at the dusty paper dust that fluttered in the wind, there was no need to ask, Yin Yaoji must have thought of the content of the letter a long time ago!

"What are you going to do?"

He should have understood, so he couldn't save the price he should have paid. But whoever provokes me must also bear the consequences......"

Seeing the fierce light flashing in his eyes, Yin Yaoji couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and subconsciously took two steps back: "You...... Have you ......?"

Reluctantly calmed down, Banqin looked indifferently: "You can see it, but it's okay, it's not too sad to put it down! You can write back to Yu Fangsheng and tell him that I can agree to cooperate with him, but only temporarily." In the end, it depends on who can survive to the end......"

Yin Yaoji frowned tightly, feeling a chill in her heart! She had seen that kind of look before, and it was only then that she truly understood what a tragic fate she was going to face in the future. But when she saw that look again today, in addition to fear, her heart was more painful and sad!

At the same time, she also truly understood that there are indeed things in life that cannot be separated from life than life! Although she does not know it now, it is indeed at this moment that she is truly deeply realized. And she also found out that when you start to value another person's life, you really value him more than yourself......

Seeing that Xuexi was patiently supervising his martial arts, Banqin had never had any hope for this kind of grinding spear in battle! However, he also had his own wishes, so he couldn't bear to have expectations that were too far apart!

In everyone's confusion, Banqin walked towards Yang Chen, grabbed the long sword in his hand, and shook it into more than a dozen sections with a little movement. Then, a look of anger and tone that no one had ever seen before appeared from him!

"When facing the enemy, the slightest soft-heartedness will separate your corpse! As a swordsman, you can easily be snatched away from your sword, which only means that your life is cheaper! With this ability, what kind of justice do you still want to maintain? If you want to die, you can kill yourself immediately, and don't even bother me to save you later......

Watching him walk away angrily, everyone was stunned, only Xuexi's eyes showed deep sadness!

At this moment, he knew what he was going to face, and he couldn't help but wonder if what he did back then was right, because the result may not change, but he didn't have to suffer such pain!

Why did I never teach my children wholeheartedly? Because I did not feel hope in any of them from the beginning, I felt that no one among them could take responsibility, so I always only protected them as a father, and never thought that there should be something irrelevant to each other, but only a bond between blood relatives!

But for this apprentice, he devoted his whole life to it, and finally taught him to be a man who could bear everything! But apart from everything he wanted him to accomplish, he was completely powerless about the situation he was about to face!

I can't take any responsibility for him at all, and I haven't given him a life that might be better than that of the Demon Palace! How I used to look forward to hearing him call himself "Master"!

And now, this "Master" makes me so sad and guilty!

When the teacher died for himself, the remorse and pain in his heart at that time can finally be realized today! However, when people really know that they regret, they often always ...... when they are powerless about everything and the reality can no longer be changed.
