Pan Long thought about it again and again, and always felt that the Zeng family could not be so powerful.

So he asked his subordinates to go separately to investigate the intelligence, and agreed that no matter what the result was, they would meet five days later at the Yamen of the Wind Patrol Division of Xiangping Mansion, an important town in central Youzhou.

As for himself, he found a deserted place, lit the incense of the Imperial Kou, and asked the old-timer about the news of the Zeng family.

"You want to ask about the Zeng family?" Lie Yukou was a little puzzled, "The Zeng family is far away in the northeast, and they are almost on the edge of Youzhou, how can they have anything to do with you?"

Pan Long explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, focusing on his own concerns.

Lie Yukou didn't say a word, patiently listened to him, and after a while, he said: "I haven't asked about the world for all these years, and I don't know that the situation in Youzhou has changed like this...... The Zeng family opposed peace with the various clans of the Ice Field, and even took the initiative to provoke conflicts, but I know the reason. ”

"Can you tell me?"

"Absolutely. The origin of the Zeng family is actually not bright, their ancestors were originally a branch of the Demon Gate Blood God Sect. In the Warring States Period, he broke away from the Blood God Sect, and after the establishment of Great Xia, he washed away Congliang - later Emperor Yihai fought Mobei, and the Blood God Sect came out to make trouble, and the Zeng family paid a great price in order to prove that they had already severed their relationship with the Blood God Sect. ”

"Although the Zeng family has been whitewashed, their mental method is still derived from the Blood God Sect's 'Blood Sacrifice to the Common People' mental method, and it is inextricably linked with the Demon Gate's blood sacrifice method. I remember that their ancestors once consulted Wen Chao, and Wen Chao said, 'Draw the sword to the weak, draw the sword to the strong, and draw the sword to their own shortcomings', hoping that they can use their courage to change themselves and overcome their own shortcomings. ”

"As a result, they were fine, but somehow, they figured out the method of first accumulating blood and courage in battle, and then transforming it into their own spiritual power through retreat and retreat - according to them, this is called 'beheading others first, then beheading oneself'. ”

"I also saw Zeng Wuxing back then, his qualifications are actually very average, he can cultivate into a demon god, and it is in the battle of Mobei that he has accumulated a lot of blood and bravery, and then he can accumulate thick and thin. ”

Pan Long suddenly realized that the story of the Zeng family was a half-truth.

The real half is that they can indeed become stronger through fighting, and even break through the bottleneck.

The false half is that they can't get stronger directly in battle, and they have to meditate after the battle.

In this way, it is understandable that the Zeng family insisted on fighting the Ice Plains tribes to the end, and even attacked the Ice Plains tribes who had already submitted to Great Xia, and even had such a bad attitude towards the court officials.

The Zeng family's mental method is to fight and fight, and they must persist in fighting continuously.

In fact, this battle does not necessarily have to be fought with the various races of the Ice Field, just like Zeng Xiaoqiang, who has been in the Western Regions for decades, has also accumulated a deep accumulation, and finally succeeded in breaking through.

In fact, considering the efficiency, perhaps the Zeng family moved to the Western Regions collectively, which is more conducive to their long-term development.

Even if you don't go to the Western Regions, go to the Northland or the South China Sea, it's better than staying in Youzhou.

After all, there are more opportunities to fight in those places.

It's just that they have been operating in Youzhou for many years, with a deep heritage and strong power. Leaving this base camp, even if he still has strong strength, he is always just a dragon crossing the river, and even the head snake may not be able to suppress it.

If you want to develop to your current status again, you don't know how much time it will take, how much manpower and material resources it will take.

Even if you want to establish a branch, you must take the Youzhou side as the foundation, and then operate in the rudder for many years before it can be transferred to the past.

When the Dingfeng Pan family established a branch in the Central Plains, it took nearly a hundred years, and in the end, the old patriarch Pan Shou personally led the team and concentrated on operating in the south of Jizhou for nearly 20 years before the Central Plains branch of the Pan family took root and became a recognized force in the rivers and lakes.

Albeit...... It's about the smallest force.

There are two real people in the Zeng family who have returned to their roots, and it must be much easier than the Pan family to establish a branch. But they are obviously not willing to do this, but want to continue to develop in Youzhou.

Pan Long can also understand their choice.

Nowadays, the decline of the imperial court can be seen by anyone with a little knowledge.

Although the troubled times have not yet come, it will not take long to think about it. The short is ten years and eight years, and the long is thirty or fifty years, and Daxia will definitely be chaotic.

...... Unless the Deluo South Reform is successful.

Thinking about it this way, the reason why the Zeng family fiercely opposes the change of the law is clear.

People want chaos in the world, so they can take the opportunity to fight and escalate. If the law change is successful, the world will not be chaotic, wouldn't that be a loss?

"This Zeng family's mental method, if you think about it carefully, it's really an evil sect!" Pan Long couldn't help but say, "Even if you have been whitewashed ashore, it is still full of the aura of evil demons!"

"There's just something wrong with what they're doing. They weren't the only ones who broke away from the Blood God Sect back then, the Galaxy Sword Sect was also from the Blood God Sect, but have you ever heard of the Star River Sword Sect doing this kind of thing to stir up strife?"

Pan Long was taken aback - the Galaxy Sword Sect is a sect located between the East China Sea, and its disciples are brave and good at fighting, paying attention to "there is nothing other than the sword", and the name of aggressiveness is known all over the world.

Most of the prestige of the East China Sea Sword Immortal was fought by this group of ruthless people who drew their swords without saying a word and never fought to their deaths.

But the style of the Galaxy Sword Sect is also notoriously open-minded, even if they have a blood feud with you, they will only make an appointment with you at a time and place to fight for life and death, and have never done sneak attacks and assassinations or harmed innocent people.

Compared with the Zeng family, who secretly poked and provoked the contradictions between Great Xia and the various races in the Ice Field, just so that they could have enough battles to help their own accumulation, the Galaxy Sword Sect obviously had higher intentions.

It is no wonder that this sword sect was able to make a name for itself and became one of the representatives of the martial arts of the East China Sea.

But when he thought about it, he felt that he was too harsh on the Zeng family.

If the demon god of the Zeng family was not afraid of dying, with this demon god in charge, the Zeng family would naturally be as stable as Mount Tai, and they could develop as much as they wanted.

Even, even if the Zeng family wants to change their mind and embark on a more stable path from now on, there should be no problem.

But Zeng was not afraid of death, in order to be loyal to the Great Xia court, he went to fight against Bi Lingkong, the fugitive who assassinated the founder of Great Xia, Emperor Taizu Jiazi, and finally died on the battlefield.

...... Thinking about it this way, is this still the teacher's pot?

Pan Long felt that his brain was a little confused.

He ended his contact with Lie Yukou, carefully reviewed the cause and effect of the incident, and finally came to a conclusion.

He was not afraid to be loyal to his country, yes.

The teacher defended himself, of course, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Then, it is obvious that the fault can only be the Great Xia court.

In other words, it is Emperor Jiazi Zhao Sheng.

If it weren't for Zhao Sheng's gang causing so much trouble, how could there be these follow-up contradictions?

Not only that, Zhao Sheng knows the Heavenly Treasure and is quite proficient in the Blood Firmament, if he is willing to help the Zeng family improve his mental method, he will definitely be able to make the Zeng family's mental method not have such a big flaw.

But he didn't.

"Well, it's all Zhao Sheng's fault!" Pan Long nodded and came to such a conclusion.
