Chapter 336 Who controls the country
Inadvertently, Gu Xu thought of a word that Luo Sishou had mentioned in the conversation before - "our great cause".
"Is what Luo Sishou did today related to the so-called 'great cause'?" He silently speculated in his heart.
…………
When Gu Xu and Zhao Yan were trapped in the royal treasury, undercurrents were also surging in Luojing City.
The Duke of Yan, Zhao Changying, was wearing a military robe and standing by the pond in his house.
Beside him were a group of practitioners dressed in black and loyal to the Zhao family in Youzhou.
Zhao Changying waved his hand gently, and the turtle swimming lazily in the pond suddenly flew into the air, and then landed steadily in his hand.
Then, he turned his true energy into a sharp blade, cut open the turtle's belly, and actually took out a piece of bamboo.
He handed the piece of bamboo to the hands of his subordinates with an expressionless expression.
"Take a look." He ordered.
Although his tone was very calm, he revealed a majesty that could not be disobeyed. He was completely different from the drunken and decadent drunkard in the past.
The monks took the bamboo pieces respectfully and took turns to observe them carefully.
I saw four big characters clearly engraved on the bamboo slices -
"Tian Bu Zhao Xing".
After a brief silence, Zhao Changying continued: "Since the Emperor of Da Qi wants to use rumors and prophecies to deal with us, then we might as well use his tactics to become the true 'destiny'."
"As descendants of Dayan, we , is definitely not a piece of fish left to be slaughtered on the chopping board. "
Looking at Duke Yan, who was releasing the powerful aura of an eighth-level monk with every gesture in front of him, all the monks felt their blood boiling in their chests, and they couldn't help but want to blurt out: "I am willing to follow him to the death. The Duke of the country. ”
However, they soon realized that whether today’s matter was successful or not, the identity of their lord would change.
The title “Yan Guogong” would soon be No more.
At this time, a burly, rugged man with a beard walked out of the team and came to Zhao Changying.
This person's name is Hu Yanxiao, a direct subordinate who is deeply trusted by Zhao Changying. He has a bold personality and is outspoken. He often drinks with Zhao Changying from a large bowl while giving advice, and never hides the true feelings in his heart. idea.
Zhao Changying has always appreciated his bravery and boldness as a northerner, and often entrusts him with important tasks.
I heard Hu Yanxiao say impassionedly and loudly: "Sir, I have long disliked these cowards of the Xiao family in Luojing City! They will only hide in the formation and enjoy the protection of their ancestors. So. Their power can clearly destroy most of the ghosts in the world, but they allow the ghosts to wreak havoc and harm the people.
"Even the gods they worship are aloof and don't care about the sufferings of the people - which is not the case. Our great god of fire who steals fire for the human world?
"We Youzhou people should rule ourselves as before, instead of kneeling down to that dog emperor in Zichen Palace."
At this point, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Changying , shouting: "Long live Dayan! Long live the king!"
His voice echoed in the courtyard for a long time.
Hearing what Hu Yanxiao said, other monks knelt in front of Zhao Changying and shouted in unison: "Long live Dayan! Long live the king!"
Zhao Changying His expression remained calm, as if everyone's reaction was as he expected. He threw the turtle in his hand back into the pond, then pointed to the gate of the mansion and said calmly: "Let's go."
…………
The banks of the Luo River.
The current Luoshui Conference has ended, and the participating monks have basically withdrawn from the secret realm. Some of them talked about what they saw and heard to others with joy, while others were dejected and silent.
The Da Qi court also dispatched specialized officials, who were divided into several levels such as "First Class A" and "Second Class A" based on their performance in the secret realm, just like the imperial examination.
Among them, those who perform well can receive generous training resources from the court as a reward, and have the opportunity to be appreciated by the government or some high-level sects.
Those with official status may advance to a higher level after today; and some less-reputable casual cultivators may also join the organization after today.
At this moment, Su Xiao from Shudi Jiange was standing by the river, looking at the ripples on the water, silent.
There were several Jiange disciples beside him.
Most of these disciples are admirers of Su Xiao.
Some of them spoke to comfort him, claiming that Senior Brother Su definitely had the ability to win the championship, but he just didn't have good luck today.
Some people pointed out fiercely that the sudden change in the rules of this Luoshui Conference was simply aimed at Senior Brother Su. After all, only the weak will stay together in groups for warmth, while the strong will fight alone - if it is like in the past In a one-on-one arena match, could someone else be Senior Brother Su's opponent?
Su Xiao listened and recalled his experience in the secret realm, but did not speak immediately.
When it comes to fighting, he is indeed invincible.
But after getting some map fragments, he failed to analyze the hiding place of Yinjiu Zha as quickly as Gu Xu, resulting in a slow step and a slow step, and finally missed the leader.
"Perhaps the Chief Secretary changed the rules of the Luoshui Conference because he wanted to tell us that a person's strength does not only include the ability to fight." After the junior brothers finished speaking, Su Xiao slowly said, "Wisdom, luck, And the ability to communicate and cooperate... these are all part of strength.
“In these aspects, I am indeed slightly inferior. You don't need to make excuses for me. ”
Of course, despite his calm appearance, Su Xiao still felt a little regretful. He regretted that he had not been able to enter the royal treasury and get the "Hunyuan Box" inside, with the help of which he could transcend time and space and look back on the past. Strength, understanding how his father died in the battle back then.
"By the way, Senior Brother Su, it stands to reason that our Pavilion Master will come to the capital to watch the battle today, but I have never seen her. Do you know where she went? "At this time, another Jiange disciple asked.
"I don't know," Su Xiao shook her head, "Master, she didn't tell me either. ”
.........
After leaving the inner treasury of the royal family with the help of the space passage, the Mangshan Ghost King came to the "Heaven Street" that ran through the north and south of the capital and led directly to the palace gate.
Looking at the majestic and magnificent "Purple Chen Palace", a trace of crazy emotion flashed in its cold and ice-like eyes - this was once the home of the Chu Dynasty, but now it has fallen into the hands of others. As a collection of resentful souls of the emperors of the Great Chu, it could no longer remain calm.
It slowly raised the "Jingshan Bi" in its hand.
As the former imperial seal of Chu, it has the function of mobilizing the world's fortune.
But now, it plays another role - as the eye of the formation, blocking the movement of Luo Jing's dragon energy, competing with the "Tianlong Formation", and even destroying the "Tianlong Formation".
