Chapter 219: Falling into the water, first update
In the early spring of March, the grass grows and the orioles fly, which is a good time of year.
However, in this great season, there is no sign of early spring in the entire Ming Dynasty. Instead, the atmosphere seems a bit depressing.
Just because of one thing, that is, half a month ago, the Ming court finally sent out a message: the emperor died in the palace.
After this news came out, almost the whole world was shocked.
The emperor's death was followed by thousands of miles of blood, tens of thousands of corpses, and the whole world was in ruins.
No matter how many people think that the emperor is absurd and fatuous, it is undeniable that he is the ninth emperor of the Ming Empire, the master of the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of territory, and the billions of people and subjects. Your Majesty.
So, even in the season when all things are growing, the world is in a state of silence for a while. Everyone in the states, roads, prefectures and cities has a calm expression, and no one dares to talk or laugh loudly, so as not to cause trouble.
Everyone knows about the chaos in Tiandu not long ago.
As for this dragon-slaying plan, although it was kept secret before execution, except for people like Bai Xiaosheng who knew it, it was never leaked.
However, after the Tiandu Rebellion, even though the Maitreya Sect and other parties were severely attacked by the imperial court, Zhao Baiyang spread the plan throughout the world without any reservation.
In addition to promoting the power of his Maitreya religion, he also wants to win over people's hearts.
However, although the Maitreya Cult and other forces vowed to kill the emperor, the Ming court denied this, so no one dared to raise objections.
But now that the Ming court confirmed the news, countless people were so shocked that they were almost speechless.
Unexpectedly, Maitreya Cult actually did it!
The emperor of the Ming Empire was killed in this way.
This undoubtedly challenged the majesty of the Ming Empire and made some people understand that today's Ming Empire is no longer the empire that could suppress the world.
Especially now, the Maitreya Cult and others have not been captured and killed by the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that the majesty of the royal family is gone.
The only strong man who participated in the Tiandu Rebellion and the Fengdu Ghost Emperor who died was killed by a strong man like Pei Xuanjing who had a grudge against the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, according to the statement given by the Ming court, the emperor was not assassinated by the Maitreya Cult.
During the original Tiandu Rebellion, the emperor was only slightly injured and was not seriously injured.
The real cause of his death was that he accidentally fell into the river while on a boat trip, contracted wind and cold, and aroused old diseases, and he died.
Fell into the water and died!
For this reason, almost everyone sneered.
Not to mention that the emperor himself was a third-grade warrior, how could he easily fall into the water.
Even if he steps back ten thousand steps and accidentally falls into the water, how could a third-level warrior die from an old disease caused by this.
This is simply fooling people!
No one believes this answer.
Almost everyone agreed on one thing, that is, the emperor died in the Tiandu Rebellion.
The news of the emperor's death attracted the attention of countless people.
No matter what suspicions and speculations there are about this news, no one dares to object to the cause of the emperor's death given by the Ming court, and it can only be circulated in private.
And the most bizarre thing is that after the emperor dies, it stands to reason that the candidate for the new emperor should be announced to reassure people. We must know that the previous emperor had no heirs, so it is even more important to decide on a new emperor as soon as possible in order to avoid causing turmoil.
However, it has been more than half a month since the news of the emperor's death spread, and the candidate for the new emperor has not yet been announced.
All the forces in the arena were extremely low-key at this critical moment, and many major forces even postponed the marriages of some disciples.
"Zhenren."
"Teacher."
Waiting for Pei Xuanjing to come out of seclusion, Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong came to see him together.
Pang Hong might not be able to feel that he was weak, but when Yu Zhenzi saw Pei Xuanjing again, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
He became stronger again!
Yu Zhenzi could clearly feel that Pei Xuanjing's temperament had undergone an almost earth-shaking change.
If we say that he has defeated countless opponents one after another before, after the battle with the old master, Pei Xuanjing, who also killed the Seven Killing Sword Master of the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, has a domineering aura that dominates the world, as if he is an extremely sharp sword. .
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing seems to have lost all his sharpness, and feels like he has returned to his original nature.
Yu Zhenzi was shocked beyond words. In just a few short months, Pei Xuanjing had made great progress in cultivation.
Pei Xuanjing waited for the two of them to sit down and listened to Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong talking about recent events.
During Pei Xuanjing's retreat, both Chunyang Sect and Baiyunguan had sent extremely important figures to Longhu Mountain in a low-key manner.
This time, even Bai Xiaosheng did not deliberately avoid suspicion, and took the initiative to send a confidant as his representative.
Longhu, Zhenwu, Shenxiao, Baiyun, Chunyang and Bai Xiaosheng, any of these six forces can stir up troubles in the world, quietly started a secret conversation on Longhu Mountain .
At first, the people of Chunyang Sect and Baiyun Temple were shocked when they heard their plans.
But after hearing the detailed explanations and descriptions from several parties, I couldn't help but be tempted by the huge benefits involved.
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, regardless of whether they join or not, these four parties will not stop their plans.
But if you refuse, it is equivalent to being excluded from the alliance. It would be okay if these four parties failed in the future, but if they succeeded, it would be too late for them to regret it.
What's more, as far as the various forces in the world are concerned, if you really want to seek allies before the upcoming great changes in the world, there is no doubt that these four parties are almost the most suitable allies.
So, after a few days of hesitation, the two parties finally nodded and agreed to the plan, and the six parties completely became allies.
Originally, according to the size of these six forces, any two of them would need to spend a lot of time to contact and discuss an alliance.
Not to mention anything else, I am afraid that we will argue endlessly just about who is the master and who is the slave.
But time is imminent now, and they don't have much time to waste on this.
So in the end, the six parties followed the proposal left by Pei Xuanjing. The six parties temporarily undecided the alliance leader. Each of the six parties respected each other, did not involve each other's internal affairs, and did not invade each other. Each party established one person as a temporary contact person to establish an offensive and defensive alliance.
After the six parties made the covenant, the next step was specific discussions.
After all, what they are going to do next is huge and the benefits are huge.
In order not to cause dissatisfaction on either side due to uneven distribution of benefits afterwards, and eventually lead to a fight, thus causing the alliance to fall apart, they need to make an agreement in advance.
There are only two updates today and no manuscripts have been saved. I sat in front of the computer for half a day at night and couldn't write anything. I will try to write the second update tomorrow morning.
