Chapter 1: Hindsight

There is no doubt that some people are happy and some are worried, and the biggest loser in this battle must be the Blood Lotus. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 One of the Nine Great Sects was destroyed, and Huashan was deflated, and finally became a tool for decent leaders to clear their names, and the blame for all this tragedy of the Holy Sect also fell on his head.

Crackling......

Blood Lotus gritted her teeth angrily and crushed the luminous cup in her hand.

"Dugu has no regrets, don't be complacent! Hmph, the saint has a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake! Let's go back and settle this account slowly!"

The tragic destruction of the Heavenly Demon Sect also sounded the alarm for the Demon Sect, and since then, the Demon Sect's actions have become more hidden, and the number of attacks on the Zhao Sect has been much less, and it has returned to its previous conservativeness. Such a small fight would basically not have any impact on the people of Zhao State, and Wulin almost fell into a dead silence.

After spending a year in peace, the Demon Sect finally reined in a lot, and returned the people of Zhao to peace. However, the people of Zhao State are destined to have many disasters and difficulties, and this group of Jianghu grass robbers don't toss them much, but the country has begun to be active again.

The cause of this incident is still abroad, speaking of which is in the easternmost part of the Zhao country, there is an island country named Dongying on the other side of the sea, and Dongying has experienced a hundred years of war and chaos, and was finally unified by a monkey named Hideyoshi. In fact, Hideyoshi is not a real monkey, and it is only because of his short stature that he got such a nickname.

After unifying Dongying, Hideyoshi, who was full of confidence, wanted to conquer a wider continent, and Goryeo was the first step to realize his ambitions!

In the ninth year of Ningfeng, Dongying's 200,000 troops crossed the sea to attack Zhao's neighbor Goryeo, because of the underdeveloped agriculture, Goryeo could only eat kimchi, a high-yield and cheap food, for many years, resulting in the poor physical fitness of its own people, and naturally could not compete with the Dongying soldiers who grew up eating seafood every day.

The battle-hardened Dongying army attacked fiercely, and captured the capital of Seoul and Pyongyang at great speed.

This war had nothing to do with the Zhao State, but was a struggle between two small foreign states. But the problem is that Goryeo at that time had not yet conquered the whole world, and it was still a small subordinate country of Zhao, so if the subject country asked for help, how could the suzerainty not save it?

So Emperor Youzong sent 80,000 elite soldiers to aid Goryeo, and although the grain and grass of 80,000 elite soldiers was a large expenditure, it was not impossible for Zhao at that time. But the key is that as soon as these 80,000 troops arrived in Goryeo, the Liao State actually took advantage of the empty army of the Zhao State to suppress the border!

The two sides went to war, and the expenses of Zhao suddenly skyrocketed. You must know that no matter how much the Zhao Sect and the Holy Sect troubled the people, it would only affect their lives, but as soon as the country went to war, the huge taxes cost the lives of the people!

The people suffered, and they had no regrets.

Tongjitang, Dugu has no regrets and invited the elders to hold a meeting.

"Now that Liao has invaded my Great Zhao, taxes have skyrocketed, and the people are suffering, my Tongjitang was born to help the people, and I should come forward, I don't know what you think?"

"It's all to blame for this Emperor Youzong! Jin Liao and other countries are eyeing my Great Zhao, and he even sent 80,000 troops to aid Goryeo!

"Elder Li, you can't say that, if you don't save Goryeo, once Dongying destroys Goryeo, then the next target will be my Da Zhao. When the two armies go to war, the Liao State will still send troops. Ao Xuehan has a flexible brain, he has already seen through that the real purpose of the imperial court to save Goryeo is not as simple as the suzerain.

"Alas...... The Goryeo people are really waste! All the kimchi has been eaten in vain for so many years! I can't even beat an island country! What does the hall master mean to help the imperial court attack Liao?" Elder Li sighed, he had a fierce personality, and he would say whatever he wanted, but he knew in his heart that now was not the time to blame anyone, the matter was already like this, and he had to find a way to solve it, otherwise it would be the people who suffered.

"The Liao country is strong, and there are many masters, even if I join the war, it won't play a big role, I think it's better to help Goryeo get rid of Dongying, and then my 80,000 elite soldiers of Dazhao will be able to join the camp of resisting Liao. ā€

Zhao has the martial arts of Zhao State, and Liao State also has Liao State martial arts, for example, the Demon Monarch Xiao Tianyan is a native of Liao. Once Tongjitang and the Liao State start a war, the Liao State Wulin will definitely make a move, and the two armies will still be in a stalemate at that time.

In contrast, the Dongying Island Country does not have a strong martial arts like Zhao Liao, and even if the Dongying Martial Arts wants to help across the ocean, they have to waste a lot of time on the road. Therefore, it is far wiser to choose to fight Dongying than to attack Liao, as the so-called persimmon should be picked and pinched softly.

But the biggest problem at the moment is not actually Liao or Dongying, but the problem of Zhao Guowulin itself has not been solved, if Tongjitang goes to Goryeo, then the Demon Sect will definitely take advantage of the situation and make waves!

"But hall master, if you go to Goryeo, who will take charge of my Zhao State Wulin?" asked another good-natured middle-aged man, who was also one of the elders of Tongjitang, surnamed Sun.

Since Dugu has no regrets and has considered saving Goryeo instead of fighting Liao, he has naturally thought about the matter of Zhao Guo's martial arts, I saw him smile slightly and said slowly.

"I've got a good candidate, and you all know him. ā€

"Oh, could it be one of the six major sects, but the head of Huashan Duan?" Elder Sun's mind turned, and the first thing that came to mind was naturally the six leaders of the six major sects, and among them, Duan Ziyu had the highest martial arts!

"Hmm...... Master Duan's martial arts are indeed very high, but he is not from my Zhao Kingdom after all, can he agree?" The elders talked a lot, Duan Ziyu's martial arts were indeed high, but he almost did not participate in the battle between good and evil.

"If Master Duan is willing to resist the demons, I'm afraid that the Luoshui First Battle Demon Sect will long have ceased to exist. Dugu Wuregret shook his head gently, even he admired Duan Ziyu's martial arts, but Duan Wangye had no intention of making a move.

"That hall master can't be talking about an afterthought, right?" Elder Sun thought for a while, the person who can sit in the Zhao Sect must have good martial arts, otherwise how can he face the Blood Lotus? And the powerhouse of the Nine Heavens, the Zhao Sect is only a handful, except for the old monster who does not go out of the mountain, the hall master and Duan Ziyu, there is only the one who has recently broken through the Nine Heavens.

"Exactly. Dugu smiled faintly.

"But the Emei faction is located in a remote area, can Qinghuazi come to the Central Plains?" It turned out that the afterthought in Elder Sun's mouth referred to Qinghuazi, the head of the Emei faction, because every time the Emei faction started a war, it always arrived after the fact, so Qinghuazi got the nickname of an afterthought
