On the way from Pingman City to the four clans of the half-elves of the Lianyun Mountain Range, there was a group of knights galloping on horseback, about twenty or so riding.

The group quickly entered the edge of the mountain range, turned into the mountain road, and the speed plummeted, and they could only pace slowly.

At first, the two were very young, wearing the red officer uniforms of the Qinling Empire, and they were Zhou Yi and Zhao Mu.

After some negotiations yesterday, Huangfu Lesheng accepted Zhou Yi as a disciple. When discussing the candidate for the envoy to the half-elf clan, the teacher of this cheating father ignored Zhao Mu's deliberately raised chest, and instead stared at Zhou Yi, who was deliberately shrinking behind Zhao Mu. Zhou Yi only sighed at that time, is this looking for a master or an enemy!

The idea of sending a half-elf don't look at what Zhou said when he talked eloquently, but there are also many dangers along the way.

First of all, we have to face the question of whether the upper four clans cooperate, if it is not good, if it is coercive, it will provoke them, and it is estimated that they will be explained there; secondly, even if they make sense of the upper four clans, they will also face the threat of the two clans of Yueyun, they are natives here, and they will not watch you put a noose on them, and it is estimated that they will find an opportunity to do themselves and others halfway, so as to blame other tribes and force them to rebel.

Based on the above reasons, Zhou Yi was really unwilling to take on this errand. But the freshly baked teacher's eyes full of expectation made someone who suddenly became thin-skinned feel that he couldn't live up to the teacher's expectations. I had to reluctantly come out and take the initiative to take over the task.

As for Zhao Mu, this guy was purely stupid and bold, seeing that the teacher ignored him, he had to shout to go together. In the end, Huangfu Le Sheng couldn't resist the stubbornness and firmness of this guy, so he had to reluctantly agree. Just stopped Zhou Yi before leaving, quietly told someone about Zhao Mu's identity, and told him to take good care of the only son of the emperor's majesty.

After turning into the mountain road, a large forest began to appear around it, and although it was winter, it was located in the south, but the climate was still mild, and the forest was full of greenery. This made a certain angry young man who had been following the legion headquarters and had never entered the Lianyun Mountain Range full of interest, chattering like a chatter.

"Brother Zhou, you said that there are many fierce beasts in this Lianyun Mountain Range, why can't I see it?" Zhao Mu looked like an elite in politics and an idiot in life, but a prince calling himself a big brother still made Zhou Yi quite proud, so Zhou Yi never minded being close to this future emperor.

"We're still on the periphery of the Lianyun Mountain Range now! Not to mention fierce beasts, even large beasts can't be seen. Besides, those half-elves live here, and it is estimated that there are no fierce beasts in this area. The habits of fierce beasts don't like to come into contact with humans!" Zhou Yi patiently explained.

"Alas, I thought I could see a fierce beast!" Zhao Mu was a little sullen when he heard this, he was always a teenager who didn't have much experience, and his personality was not very mature.

"We should be glad that we can't see the fierce beast, otherwise, with our little manpower, it is estimated that it is the share of delivering food!" Zhou Yi turned a blind eye to someone's resentment, the fierce beast is not one of those small animals raised in your garden.

"I heard yesterday that Brother Zhou doesn't seem to have a good impression of the Holy Courtyard! Can you tell me why?"

Zhou Yi didn't answer, just looked back at the twenty entourage guards who followed behind the two.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I don't like the Holy Courtyard either, and these people are my guards! If we say something, they will definitely not spread it!" Zhao Mu knew that Zhou Yi knew his identity, after all, Huangfu Lesheng had already taken Zhou Yi into his door, so this secret would naturally be told to Zhou Yi. The twenty guards behind him are all serious Ouchi guards, led by two Innate Realm royal worshippers, and the father and emperor are directly sent to protect their own safety, can they not be trusted!

"I was originally going to come to the empire with my uncle and a good brother! However, because we had a treasure in our hands, we accidentally let Zhu Chenghe, the holy son of the Military Academy, know. He pretended to buy the treasure in my hand and asked about the origin of the baby, but I didn't tell him. As a result, when we left, he sent his men after us. My uncle and brother sacrificed their lives to protect me from the master......, and I was spared! I'm afraid that I've already been poisoned! You say I can have a good impression of the Holy Courtyard? I hate to overturn these hypocritical Holy Courtyards right now and kill Zhu Chenghe, a dog thief!" Zhou Yi didn't want to recall this incident, he just wanted to bury his hatred in his heart, work hard to improve his strength, and one day be able to take revenge.

But thinking that His Royal Highness the prince also had no good impression of the Holy Court, he wondered if he could use the power of the royal family to find some trouble for the Holy Court. Although the royal family is powerless in the face of the Holy Courtyard, after all, the royal family occupies the name of worldly righteousness, and the Holy Court cannot be too rampant. This is the enemy of the enemy, and the enemy must be a friend who can be united!

"The hypocrites of these Holy Courtyards are indeed hateful!But the Holy Courtyard is powerful, even if it is just one of the Holy Sons of the Military Academy, it is not something you can compete with!" Zhao Mu was also indignant after understanding Zhou Yi's grievances and entanglements with the Holy Academy, but as a prince, he was very aware of the terrible nature of the Holy Academy!

"Of course I can't take revenge now!But it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, as long as I accumulate strength, I will be able to avenge one day!" Zhou Yi said hatefully. In fact, he could also choose to use poisons such as sorrow and crisp breeze to take revenge, but firstly, he didn't know if these things would work on the people in the Holy Courtyard who cultivated holy power, and secondly, he didn't know the specific whereabouts of Zhu Chengsi and the others, so it was not easy to start, and secondly, wouldn't it be too cheap to let them die so simply, Zhou Yi turned the target of his hatred to the Holy Courtyard on which they relied on their arrogance. How happy it would be to knock down the backers they relied on, let these hypocrites who usually rely on their identities do whatever they want suddenly lose their support, and then let them be killed in despair!

Well, Zhu Chenghe's arrogance and his subordinates' unscrupulous pursuit at that time, the murder of his two closest relatives, and now the paranoid psychology of Zhou Yi's previous life has taken over the matter of revenge. He is now in a state of mind that would rather kill than let go, although there are many people in the Holy Courtyard such as Zhu Chenghe, but there are also good people, but now they are ignored by the attitude of Zhou someone who overturned a boatload of people with a rod.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I support you in revenge!" Zhao Mu saw that Zhou Yi fell into the memory of the tragic events of the past, his face was gloomy, and he took the initiative to comfort him.

"I'm fine, thank you, brother, I'm confident! Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can know? Don't bully the young and poor! I will let Zhu Chengsi and them know what kind of price they will pay in the future if I escaped in the first place!" Zhou Yi cheered up and said with a sneer on his face.

"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can know? Don't bully the young man to be poor!" Zhao Mu followed and repeated, and suddenly found that the truth contained in this sentence was indeed the case, and his blood was also boiling, and he couldn't help but say: "Big brother said it well, don't bully the young man to be poor! Now the Holy Courtyard is covering the sky with one hand, but we are still young, and there are infinite possibilities in the future, who knows what will happen in the future?"

"Well, there are no flowers in a hundred days, don't look at the Holy Courtyard is now full of flowers, but it is not without flaws, without hidden dangers!" Zhou Yi watched Zhao Mu be touched by his words, and continued.

"Oh, big brother, I don't know what your plans are?" Zhao Mu was really aroused, his father was oppressed by the power of the Holy Court in the court every day, and the strength of the Holy Court in the army was monstrous, so that he couldn't sleep at night, for fear that one day he would wake up and let someone replace him. This kind of precarious life, Zhao Mu saw it with his own eyes, he hated the Holy Courtyard from the bottom of his heart, but let alone him, even his father who sat on the throne was powerless, and their royal family had to keep a low profile, and they could only swallow their anger about the control of the Holy Courtyard. However, in their hearts, they were extremely eager to suppress the Holy Court, revitalize the dynasty, and consolidate the imperial authority. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Mu heard that Zhou Yi had ideas, he was so interested, his eldest brother and senior brother who had just met him were full of wisdom, but he had a deep understanding, and he didn't see that as soon as his strategy against the half-elf came out, the empire's dilemma of the half-elf rebellion would be solved! Moreover, Zhou Yi's strategy could also make the empire's rule over the frontier races more consolidated, which was even more rare! Therefore, Zhao Mu now worships and trusts his senior brother and eldest brother from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yi did not shirk it, and directly told what he had been thinking in the past few days.

"The reason why the Holy Courtyard was able to cover the sky with one hand was nothing more than the following points:

First, only with the inheritance of saints can it be called the Holy Academy, and the people in the Holy Courtyard believe in the saints, propagate the doctrine of the saints, expand the influence of the doctrine within the empire, and attract all kinds of talents to join the Holy Academy, which makes the strength of the major holy courtyards increase dramatically;

The second is the inheritance of the Holy Dao for thousands of years, and the Holy Dao Doctrine has a huge influence within the empire, and people have generally believed in the Holy Dao Doctrine, which undoubtedly increases the authority of the Holy Academy, which controls the interpretation of the Holy Dao Doctrine;

The third is that the Holy Courtyard requires people to believe in saints and become disciples of saints, and only by becoming disciples of saints can they obtain the power of the Holy Way passed down by the saints they believe in, that is, as the saying goes, once you enter the Holy Courtyard, the fish leaps over the dragon gate. This yearning for power makes people flock to it, which is very similar to the power of the Shinto inheritance of the Bright Temple of the Western Continent, but the Western Continent is dominated by one god, while in my empire it is all the saints singing together;

The fourth point is particularly important, that is, within the empire, only the Holy Academy holds the power of knowledge inheritance, and if people want to get ahead, they must either learn martial arts or literature. And because they are poor and rich in martial arts, most people can't afford to learn martial arts, so they can only enter the holy house to learn the holy way. If the empire wants to administer the localities, it must appoint local officials, and it is absolutely impossible to let people who are illiterate in big characters become officials! Most of the scholars come from various holy institutes, and appointing them as officials will not put the entire imperial official system in the hands of the holy courts. In this way, most of the military generals of the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty are from the Holy Court, and the imperial family is naturally overthrown by the Holy Court!"

Although Zhao Mu knew that the Holy Court was powerful and controlled the government and the opposition, he had never thought carefully about the deep reasons. His father, the emperor, also said that the reason why the Holy Court was strong, but he only focused on the superficial reason that he had cultivated a large number of civil and military generals with the Holy Court to enter the imperial court.

"These situations are already deep-rooted, and we are powerless to change them!" Although he knew the real reason, the more Zhao Mu listened, the more he felt the horror of the Holy Courtyard, his body was drenched in cold sweat, and he was afraid of the measures he had arranged before, but fortunately he did not act rashly, otherwise he would not be able to protect himself, and I am afraid that his father and the entire royal family would be buried together. At this time, Zhao Mu felt very powerless, but suddenly remembered the eldest brother next to him who hated the Holy Courtyard, as if he had fallen into darkness and suddenly found a glimmer of light.

Big brother, there must be a way! This is Zhao Mu's only thought at this time.

The two Innate Realm guards who led the team also looked at the back of someone in front of them with a hellish look at this time, this young man was really a genius, and he actually cleaned up the mysterious Holy Courtyard in the eyes of the world in just a few words, how smart it must be!
