The special feature of the Nanquan Zhujun Gate Lords in the Great Chu Dynasty was that these Gate Lords not only had an astonishing wealth accumulation like the wealthy merchants in Guanzhong of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also had a large number of cultivators and private armies, and there was no shortage of powerful Seven Realm cultivators inside.

Cultivators and disciples can have high ownership, but for a dynasty, a large number of private troops are naturally a threat. The reason why the gate lords of Nanquan counties were able to be allowed to own private armies was because these gate lords had made great contributions to the Great Chu Dynasty in the past, and many of them were partners and generals of the first emperor.

And the reason why, many years after receiving the grace of the first emperor and owning the fiefdom of the five counties, the gate valves of the Nanquan counties are still closely associated with the words "barbarian", "jackal" and "bandit", it is because these gate valves were indeed horse thieves and mountain bandits who divided the mountains.

At that time, these people also took their own private army to join the first emperor, and made great contributions to the first emperor's determination of the country and the opening up of territory.

Because of their unique relationship with the first emperor, these gate lords enjoyed a lot of privileges, and their style of action was much more barbaric than that of those delicate and elegant Chu magnates.

Before the Lushan Alliance, in fact, Zhao Xiangfei had been involved in the government for many years, and she did not have too much leniency towards these gate lords of Nanquan Prefecture, although she was still forced by the power of these gate lords not to directly cancel these people's private armies, but naturally also made some preventive arrangements, such as setting up fortresses outside these five counties, limiting the number of chariots and horses sold to the five counties, stipulating the highest level of talismans that the private army could have, and so on.

However, what caused the Nanquan counties and Zhao Xiangfei to completely fight each other was the "Crepe Life Case".

Among the three major gate valves in Nanquan County, the eldest son of the crepe gate valve surnamed Crepe is weak, and secretly intervenes in the selection and promotion of low-level officials in many counties and counties in the east of Great Chu, so that those small counties and counties far away from the Chu capital are rampant, and the crepe is even more one-handed in those counties and counties, and when it was finally investigated, the Nanquan counties made many concessions, and wanted to keep the weak head, but Zhao Xiangfei did not give a face, and still beheaded the crepe weak according to the law. Even some of the officials who managed to accommodate themselves were dealt with.

After that, if the children of the Nanquan counties committed crimes, they were often dealt with more harshly, and this time Qin and Chu were fighting, and the Nanquan counties were also forcibly transferred a lot of resources, and some important children who practiced in Chu were also sent to the border army, and many were even directly sent to dangerous places.

This move was extremely vicious, and in order to keep those important disciples, the Nanquan Counties also had to send some powerful cultivators to follow.

Now that the border is in chaos from the middle of Chu, there is no communication with many people, and I don't know if those important disciples and cultivators will survive.

At this time, although I don't know what Zhao Xiangfei plans to do next, judging from the movements of the army in the past few days, the remnants of the main armies in Yangshan County are faintly retreating towards the five counties of Nanquan.

The Nanquan counties naturally hate Concubine Zhao Xiang very much, but this is a state affair after all, if they are blocked by private troops instead, so that the retreating Chu army will suffer from the enemy, then even if these gate lords of the five counties of Nanquan don't care about the writing in the history books, they don't know how much anger of the Chu people will be ushered in.

So although some gatekeepers cursed bitterly, this discussion lasted for nearly half an hour, but it was not yet resolved.

As time passed, the people who had spoken the most fiercely before also stopped, and their eyes gradually focused on the three people in the middle.

The three people in the middle who had the most gloomy and dangerous aura on their bodies were the principals of the three strongest gate lords in Nanquan County.

Especially the middle-aged man in the purple robe in the center, who has never glanced at him, has a thin face, always hangs his head slightly, and his slightly white hair exudes wisps of cold light like a blade.

When he finally raised his head slightly, the entire council chamber fell completely silent.

"I don't care what you think. ”

Crepe Shenyun didn't look at anyone, he just said to himself: "For my crepe family, all Chu people can live, but she can't." ”

Everyone's bodies shook slightly.

He continued: "When my Chu was not broken, she was the queen mother and had the title of the first emperor, but now that the country is broken, can she still be regarded as the queen mother? She is not even my Chu people. ”

No one objected.

The vast majority of people are just waiting for his opinion.

If there is no objection at this time, it represents a resolution.

The next principal's face was a little pale, and he said flatteringly: "Since this is the case, then we will spread the news, and the rest of the people can pass, but she can't." Or just let her kill herself?"

"I wanted her to die for a long time. Although many people say that she governs the country well, it is the fruit inherited from the first emperor. I'd love to see what she would do if I said that I would let her kill herself in exchange for the lives of those Chu soldiers. Crepe Shenyun suddenly sneered.

Laughter echoed through the gloomy chamber, but no one answered.

The vast majority of people's hatred for Concubine Zhao is not as direct and strong as his, and in their opinion, too drastic methods tend to drag people into the abyss.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

One person taps the door a few times according to the rules, and then pushes the door and walks in.

The council hall is the property of the crepe family, and the person who enters at this time is also the capable steward of the crepe family.

When this person pushed the door and walked into the council hall, Crepe Shenyun's brows frowned unconsciously.

Because of his familiarity, he could immediately sense the strangeness of this person.

"What's the matter?"

His cold voice rang out again.

Many of the other gatekeeper bigwigs were present, and he didn't want anything unpleasant and disrespectful to happen.

"Bashan Sword Field. ”

The steward of the crepe family took a deep breath and bowed to all of them, while his voice trembled slightly as he uttered these four words.

Crepe Shenyun and these principals were shocked, and when they looked at the steward again, the steward had already raised his body and stretched out his hand.

"Bashan Sword Field has sent a sword order from the world. ”

His voice trembled.

In his hand, there was a sword-shaped token more than half a foot long, which naturally swallowed sharp sword rays.

The sound of gasping cold air rang out at the same time.

"The Sword Leader Order of the World, even if there are still people left in the Bashan Sword Field, can it still be regarded as the Sword Leader of the World?"

After a few breaths, an angry voice rang out.

However, there was a longer silence, no one responded or objected, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that even the face of the person who spoke out in anger gradually turned white.

The sword first order in the world is the token of the sword head king of the Bashan sword field in the past.

In the past, Bashan Sword Field was the first in the world, and as soon as this order came out, almost no one dared to go against their will.

After many years, the Bashan Sword Field no longer exists... However, it is precisely because of this, many years later, that the sword chief order of the world actually reappeared.

What does this mean?

Crepe Shenyun's breathing gradually became difficult, and he slowly raised his head again with some stiffness, looked at the steward, and said, "What did the messenger say?"
