Chapter 653: Water Margin

Liang Qing greeted Cheng Xuanying with wine and food, and after chatting for a while, he arranged for him to go down to rest at Cheng Xuanying's request.

As soon as Chen Xuanying went down, Liang Qing immediately ordered left and right: "Order Tu Xingsun, Feng Hao, and Bai Xuan to come in." ”

"Yes!" responded left and right, and immediately someone went to summon the three men.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps coming in, and after a while, I heard Tu Xing Sun, Feng Hao, and Bai Xuan coming in

In fact, with the ability of these three people, they don't make any sound when they walk, and the reason why there are footsteps is heard is that they follow the door to knock, which is a courtesy among monks.

After the three of them came in, they all saluted and said, "Wait for your majesty!"

Liang Qing said: "No courtesy, come and sit." ”

The three of them got Liang Qing's signal and sat down on the prepared stools.

Liang Qing's eyes swept over, Feng Hao's body had a faint breath, but he had already stabilized his cultivation and his breath was restrained, and Tu Xingsun's words were filled with a faint light of luck, at this time, his natal qi and his current luck had been completely harmonized, but it also proved that he had gained a lot of benefits from Daming.

And Bai Xuan is the biggest change, he hasn't seen him for a few days, but he has already reached the middle stage of transforming into a god, but he is worthy of being a rare genius of the demon clan, according to him entering the realm like this, even if he is steady and steady, he can become an immortal in a hundred years.

After Liang Qing looked at the three of them, he said, "You must already know about today's events!"

"I've heard of it!" Feng Hao nodded and said lightly.

"A few days ago, the minister felt an opportunity to make a breakthrough, and when he was in retreat, he didn't arrange the affairs in hand. It was a dereliction of duty not to provide His Majesty with such important information before. Please also ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins. Bai Xuan immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

And Tuxingsun also knelt down and said, "General Mo failed to arrange the city's defenses. Let this Cheng Xuanying quietly blend into the city, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness,"

Liang Qing shook his head and said, "I summoned the three of you to come, but not to hold you responsible, but to arrange for you to wait, so there is no need to say these words, get up." ”

Bai Xuan and Tuxingsun heard Liang Qing's words, but they didn't get up, but said in unison: "Please give orders from Your Majesty!"

Liang Qing nodded slightly. said: "General Tu, this Cheng Xuanying is in my Ming Dynasty, and he has always been a threat to my Ming Dynasty, but I want to bother you to work hard, and I will keep an eye on him personally." Before he left Daming, his every move could not be missed. ”

Although Cheng Xuanying is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, Tu Xingsun is extremely professional in stalking, as long as he goes out, he will not be missed. So Liang Qing handed over this matter to him.

Tuxingsun immediately said, "Obey." ”

Liang Qing nodded and said, "Then there is General Lao, the general is going, but he must pay attention to the magic weapon in Cheng Xuanying's hands, especially the small building." Don't enter the building, if Shui Cheng Xuanying lives in that small building, you just have to watch outside. ”

"And. If Cheng Xuanying moves, you don't have to do it. Just send me a message right away. ”

"Yes!" Tu Xingsun immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you go down!"

Tuxingsun saluted again. Then he drilled into the ground, and then used the technique of earth practice to go to Cheng Xuanying's residence.

After Tuxingsun left, Liang Qing said: "Cheng Xuanying told me a deal today, and I have already made it, but I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, you can help me refer to one or two ......."

Immediately, Liang Qing told the two of them in detail about exchanging five million human races and five hundred thousand demon clans with the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, including every word Cheng Xuanying said, and even being invited to the small building to drink tea before, without concealing it at all.

After Liang Qing finished speaking, Feng Hao suddenly frowned and said, "Five million human races and five hundred thousand demon races are too important to my Ming Dynasty, even if there is anything wrong, we must eat it first."

Moreover, if the Tang Dynasty wants to support us to share the luck of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and use us to contain and fight against the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, I don't think it is impossible.

Therefore, for the time being, His Majesty agreed to this Cheng Xuanying and agreed, so he can only be more careful in the future. ”

As soon as Feng Hao's words fell, Bai Xuan immediately said: "The minister feels that he is not doing things well, and he almost missed a big thing, in order to make up for one or two, he has carefully checked all the information about Datang in recent months."

Judging from the information we have obtained, Datang did send some masters to search for some unexplored areas before, and went deep into them to find something, and it is very likely that they are looking for Chaos Vitality.

Datang did capture hundreds of thousands of monsters and millions of people from the Ten Thousand Demon Country, and never killed them, temporarily demarcating a piece of territory to isolate and resettle them, and sent heavy troops to guard them.

According to previous intelligence, this Cheng Xuanying supports the current crown prince, and he does not like the king of Chu, but he is also credible.

Therefore, what Cheng Xuanying said does not seem to be lying, at least most of it is true. ”

Liang Qing nodded and said, "Then do you think Cheng Xuanying's move was his own act, or was he instructed by the people in power in the Tang Dynasty?"

Bai Xuan said: "The most brilliant lie is nine truths and one falsehood, or even all of them are true, but omitting some key things will make you more and more unable to distinguish between them."

It is precisely because Cheng Xuanying said these things that are very consistent with the information verification we have obtained, and whether it is to come to collect the Chaos Yuan Qi Refining Treasure, or to come to rescue the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, or directly to get the order of the Emperor of the People, to send us the most scarce population and support our Ming Dynasty, it is all possible, so his intention is to make people more and more elusive, and the minister does not dare to assert himself. ”

Feng Hao said: "What kind of identity is Cheng Xuanying in the Tang Dynasty, and how can he really have any personal behavior?"

Even if he really wanted to come to Jiaozhou to collect Chaos Yuan Qi for personal reasons, it was impossible for him to come quietly, at least he would ventilate the Emperor and his senior brother Zhang Sheng.

Only if they approve it, he can leave the territory of Datang.

So, I don't think Your Majesty needs to go into this matter in depth. ”

"So to speak. Cheng Xuanying's attitude can represent the attitude of the entire Tang Dynasty. Since Datang has shown us goodwill, we have the opportunity to cooperate with them temporarily?" Liang Qing immediately asked.

Feng Hao immediately said: "Cooperate with Datang." But it is also with the tiger skin, against the Tang Dynasty. We can't afford to be on guard.

Moreover, 'cranes and mussels compete, fishermen benefit' What I want to do is this fisherman, if we cooperate with Datang and further cooperate with them, so that they can defeat the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom as soon as possible, it will not be good for us.

It is Yichen who believes that we can simply make this transaction with Datang, and there is no need to consider too much. The relationship with them is still as good as before, but the defense against them cannot be relaxed at all. ”

Liang Qing nodded and said, "What Second Brother Feng said is true. ”

And at this time, Bai Xuan suddenly said: "Ah! Speaking of guarding against the Tang Dynasty, the minister suddenly remembered something, this information originally seemed to have nothing to do with my Daming, but now. Thinking about it carefully, if Datang wants to frame me Daming on this transaction, perhaps the biggest possibility is related to this. ”

Liang Qing immediately said: "If there is any important information, don't sell it." Just say it. ”

Bai Xuan said: "There has been a resurgence of the Demon Gate before, and when the Tang Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are fighting, they continue to come out to carry out activities. The growth is very fast.

About three years ago, news came in. There is a master called Song Jiang Demon Gate, who dominates the Northern Demon Gate. There are one hundred and eight demon generals gathered under his command, and these one hundred and eight demon generals are all masters of the Heavenly Demon level or above, and the momentum is extremely strong.

In the past three years, Datang has continued to send people to clean it up, but they have not been able to exterminate it, but have made them bigger and bigger, and now, Youzhou has almost become their territory. ”

Hearing this, Liang Qing was suddenly extremely shocked in his heart, and asked, "Why didn't you report this kind of information to me before?"

Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of the name of Song Jiang and the so-called one hundred and eight demon generals, Liang Qing can already be sure that he is the group of people in the Water Margin, although I don't know what changes will happen to that group of people after they become the so-called demon masters in this world, but Liang Qing can be sure that this group of people may be able to shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Bai Xuan heard that Liang Qing had some reproach, and suddenly said with a slight grievance: "The Youzhou side is too far away from my Daming, and our intelligence network has not yet been built there, and the information about them is all from other continents, and most of them are hearsay, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, even if it is true, when it reaches our side, it will already lag behind."

Moreover, the demon gate in the north of the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, and it has nothing to do with us, so the minister did not report to His Majesty. ”

Liang Qing nodded and said, "I'm not blaming you, don't be busy with grievances, and tell me first, why do you think that if Datang wants to frame us in this transaction, it will have something to do with it?"

Bai Xuan said: "The Tang Dynasty will isolate the monsters and human races captured from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in Youzhou, and the Northern Demon Gate is making a lot of trouble over there, and it has such a strong influence, I don't believe that it will not penetrate into it."

The Demon Gate is demagogic, but it is also very set, these monsters and human races have been left there for so long, maybe most of them have become believers in the Northern Demon Gate.

If this is the case, the Tang Kingdom will send us millions of people and hundreds of thousands of monsters, in a short period of time, it can improve the strength of our Ming Dynasty, but it can also plant a seed of instability for us.

In the future, as long as there is a demon gate on our side, it will have an extra layer of containment, and it will not be able to weaken the power of our Daming, so that we will not be able to develop well, and it will naturally not pose a threat to Datang. ”

Hearing this, Feng Hao also nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility.

The Tang Kingdom had never killed these captives before, and placed them in Youzhou, and Youzhou and the Demon Gate made a lot of trouble, which may be related.

And the Northern Demon Gate has grown so rapidly, and the Tang Dynasty has not been able to exterminate it for a long time, perhaps not because it cannot be exterminated, not because it cannot restrict their development, but because it is intentional to do so.

Perhaps, Datang was originally preparing to turn these captives into believers in the Demon Gate, continue to grow the Demon Gate, and then find an opportunity to release them back to the Ten Thousand Demon Country, so that the Demon Gate can weaken the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

It's just that we haven't had a chance to send these to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom yet, so we have a chance here first, so we'll give these to me first. ”

Liang Qing nodded and said: "There is indeed such a possibility, but there is too little information, whether this is the case or not, but we can't make a conclusion." ”

"Also, my Daming is now like dying of thirst, even if I know that there is poison in front of me, I have to drink it to quench my thirst. ”

"No matter what's wrong with these millions of people and hundreds of thousands of demon races, we can only eat it first, and then slowly find a way to sort it out later. ”

"Of course, since there is such speculation on this matter, it is necessary to pay attention to it. ”

"Bai Xuan, you immediately focus the intelligence on the most accurate Datang, it is best to send someone to Youzhou to further investigate and verify this matter, the more detailed the information about the Demon Gate, the better. ”

"Yes!" Bai Xuan immediately

Liang Qing nodded, and said to Feng Hao: "Brother Feng Hao, you are also ready, screen the various families in the territory, choose some suitable families and places, and after these five million human races and five hundred thousand demon clans are sent over, they will be settled." ”

Feng Hao was slightly stunned, and immediately understood, knowing what Liang Qing meant by deliberately asking him to screen the various families in the territory, so he hurriedly said, "Yes!"

After a moment of silence, Liang Qing suddenly spoke: "By the way, Bai Xuan, you said before that Song Jiang unified the Northern Demon Gate, does that mean that there is also a Southern Demon Gate?"

Bai Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, the Demon Gate has been divided into north and south over the years, but unlike the Northern Demon Gate, which has been divided and chaotic, the Southern Demon Gate has always been unified over the years. ”

"Even the Northern Demon Gate, which has been in division and chaos, can gather one hundred and eight Heavenly Demon Cultivators once it is unified, then isn't the power of this Southern Demon Gate, which has always been unified, even greater, why haven't I heard of their existence?" Liang Qing couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Bai Xuan said: "The Southern Demon Gate has always been low-key, and it is very hidden, and its reputation is not obvious.

Chen heard that Fang La, the master of the Southern Demon Gate, has always been recognized as the number one master of the Demon Gate, and the Southern Demon Gate has eight major guardian Dharma Kings, all of whom are said to be masters of the Da Luo Jin Immortal Level.

However, we don't know the specifics, how much strength the Southern Demon Gate has, and whether it is stronger than the Northern Demon Gate, this minister is not clear.

"Damn, Fang La, the Eight Great Protectors. Liang Qing's heart suddenly couldn't help but tremble, this is really about to insert into the rhythm of the Water Margin.

As a traverser, Liang Qing naturally knew that there had been uprisings in history and in the Water Margin, although the world had changed a lot, but this uprising was very likely to happen.

Compared with the distance of the northern demon gate, this southern demon gate is very close to the Ming Dynasty, once it revolts, it may become a neighbor, which is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Liang Qing then instructed Bai Xuan: "I will allocate resources and manpower to you, you have to investigate this Southern Demon Gate for me, I want to know everything about them." ”

"Yes!" Although Bai Xuan didn't know why Liang Qing suddenly attached so much importance to this Southern Demon Gate, he still responded happily. (To be continued......)
