Chapter 188: The Sword Points to the Jagged Alliance(1/2)
After separating from Li Si, Cheng Qiao arrived at the Astrology Hall with ease. Since he had been notified in advance when he arrived, Concubine Yan and Moon God both came out to greet Cheng Qiao.
The so-called Astrology Hall is the residence of the Yin and Yang family in the Lama Temple. It is located in the southeast corner of the Lama Temple. It is a small palace complex. There is a special star observation platform built in the Astrology Hall.
They haven't seen each other for nearly a month. Concubine Yan and Yueshen are still the same, but the auras they exude are deeper. Apparently their strength has improved a bit.
Concubine Yan is wearing a long dress with red gold threads, her long hair is tied down with a dark gold hairpin, and flame-shaped golden jewelry hangs on her slender white neck. A huge sapphire is inlaid in the center of the jewelry, and her feet are black with flame patterns. Long boots, hands folded on the lower abdomen, bright and pretty face with a faint smile, dignified and virtuous temperament, graceful and noble.
Luna wears a light blue short robe with a moon-shaped pattern on the back, a purple-blue and dark blue girdle, a navy blue wide-sleeved long skirt and a moon-white cross-collar tunic. The long skirt touches the floor, and there are violets on the hem. It has colorful stripes and a flower-shaped skirt.
Her eyes are shrouded in sky blue dark patterned gauze, ice blue drop-shaped beads hang in front of her forehead, her long light purple hair is bound by complicated jewelry, her hands are folded on her lower abdomen, she has a light smile, her temperament is cold and noble, ethereal and mysterious .
In addition to the ordinary disciples of the Yin Yang family, there were three other people around the two women who attracted Cheng Qiao's attention.
A woman is wearing a black and red long skirt with dense white patterns. The lower body of the skirt is similar to a cheongsam with high slits. A pair of slender and round legs are wrapped in purple stockings. She wears red rope high-heeled shoes. She has graceful curves, a cold and charming face, and bright red lips.
What attracts the most attention is this woman's hands. They are as red as blood, densely covered with strange silver patterns, and the fingertips are as black as ink. Isn't it Da Siming or who is it?
The other two girls are girls. They have exactly the same appearance, their pretty faces are as pure as first love, and their bodies are exactly the same. They can basically be said to be the same. The difference lies in their hairstyle and clothes.
One woman has bangs in front of her forehead, short hair on the back of her head, and a strand of long hair hanging down on both sides; one woman has bangs in front of her forehead, long hair on the back of her head, and a strand of long hair hanging on both sides; one woman is wearing a long white dress with black stripes. , a woman wearing a long black dress with white stripes.
The two women stood behind the Moon God, and Da Siming stood behind Concubine Yan. Judging from their positions, the status of the two women should be the same as Da Siming, and they were undoubtedly Young Siming.
This is Sanwu Shao Siming's predecessor, Black and White Shao Siming, whose name is Hei Hebai.
The Yin Yang family disciples behind the four girls are basically all female disciples. Although they are not as good as the four in front, their looks and temperament are all good, which can be said to be a beautiful scenery.
In the past, Cheng Qiao had shown that he was not happy with male disciples who dressed up like the underworld, so Concubine Yan and Yueshen would not bring any male disciples with her every time they saw Cheng Qiao.
"Treading on the Stars"
The Yin Yang family has nothing to say about selecting and training female disciples. Their figure, dress, temperament and cultivation are all excellent.
Of course, don’t be deceived by the appearance of the Yin-Yang family women. The Yin-Yang family members are not simple characters, and the women of the Yin-Yang family are often more difficult to deal with than the men.
Concubine Yan, Moon God, Da Siming, and Black and White Junior Siming are not fuel-efficient lamps. In terms of ruthlessness in their attacks, one is more ruthless than the other, and they are all killing people without blinking an eye.
If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to get ahead in the Yin and Yang family. If you want to stand out in the Yin and Yang family, being ruthless is just a basic quality.
It's just that Concubine Yan and the Moon God will not easily show their other side in front of Cheng Qiao.
Seeing Da Siming and Black and White Shao Siming appear in Yong Palace, although Cheng Qiao didn't know what the purpose of the Yin Yang Family was, he was at least certain that the Yin Yang Family's support for the Qin State had increased.
"Meet Yonghou!"
Concubine Yan, Moon God, Da Siming, Black and White Young Master, and ordinary disciples of the Yin and Yang family all practice the principles of Yin and Yang. The sounds of various timbres merge into one, which is really pleasing to the eye.
"We are all old acquaintances, why are we having such a big fight?"
"No gifts, no gifts."
Only then did Concubine Yan and others get up, and then welcomed Cheng Qiao into the side hall of the Astrology Hall. They did not go to the dormitories of either Concubine Yan or Moon God. After serving tea and snacks, there were only four people left in the side hall.
Cheng Qiao didn't mind the addition of Da Siming and Black and White Junior Siming. If he really wanted to do something bad, take advantage or something, he would usually go out alone.
It is impossible for three people to be together. In this case, there is no need to care about two more people.
"It seems that His Excellency Donghuang's support for the Qin State is getting stronger and stronger. You have come at the right time. You will be useful in a while."
After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, when he saw Da Siming and Shao Siming sitting upright and kneeling, Cheng Qiao suddenly remembered a document that Qian Ri had submitted and said with a thought.
"It is their honor that the Marquis can use them."
"You three must carry out the Marquis's orders without any compromise."
Concubine Yan glanced at Da Siming and Black and White Young Siming, and spoke calmly, but her tone was unquestionable.
Big Siming and Black and White Young Siming all nodded silently after hearing this without any objection.
They came to Qin State just to help Qin State. Only by establishing enough meritorious deeds can they establish enough influence and create conditions for unlocking the secret of Canglong Qisu.
In this regard, although Luna did not speak, she still had the same attitude.
Although Da Siming and Black and White Junior Siming are the five elders of the Yin-Yang family and have a rather lofty status in the Yin-Yang family, they are still at the executive level compared to Concubine Yan and Yueshen, and are not up to the decision-making level. At most, they can make some suggestions.
The Yin Yang family has a strict hierarchy. Concubine Yan and the Moon God can be said to have the power of life and death against the Grand Commander and the Black and White Master. In addition, the Moon God's status is slightly inferior to Concubine Yan, so Concubine Yan usually speaks first.
"Do you know about the Iron Blood Alliance?"
Cheng Qiao remembered a document sent from the sun the day before yesterday. It said that in Chu State, Luo Wang had a conflict with the Iron Blood Alliance. The reason was naturally because someone broke the contract after making a bet and wanted to default on the debt.
The deadbeat was connected to Luo Wen, so he sought help from Luo Wen, but his energy was limited and he couldn't find the masters in Luo Wen, so he was killed, and three of the Luo Wen killers were lost.
This incident made Cheng Qiao a little angry, and he had already begun to send orders to investigate the Iron Blood Alliance.
"I know, an organization that uses huge financial resources and manpower to guarantee major bets among the seven countries."
"The Iron Blood Alliance is a loose alliance organization. There are seven sub-league leaders who are responsible for handling matters on their respective territories. The overall leader is appointed by one of the seven sub-league leaders for a period of three years. The standard is who earns the most commissions. "
Concubine Yan said casually while picking up the teapot and adding water to Cheng Qiao.
Hearing that Concubine Yan knew so much about the Iron Blood Alliance, Cheng Qiao's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it, it was not surprising. The history of the Yin Yang family is much longer than that of the Iron Blood Alliance, and it is normal for them to know many secrets.
"According to the rules of the Iron Blood Alliance, it will be difficult for the sub-alliance leaders of Han and Yan."
Cheng Qiao smiled slightly, there was no way, Han and Yan had the weakest national power, and correspondingly the weakest economic capabilities. No matter what, they couldn't turn to the sub-alliance leaders of these two countries...
"Actually, the general leader is just a nicer person in name. He can't give orders to other people, and he doesn't have many substantial benefits."
"If you want to get help from other branches, you still have to pay a price."
Luna spoke slowly, her voice cold and ethereal.
"The composition of the Iron Blood Alliance among the seven countries is slightly different, and the supporters are different, but in essence they are generally a combination of powerful officials, hundreds of scholars, wealthy businessmen, and Jianghu forces."
"Take the Iron Blood Alliance of Chu State as an example. The main supporters behind it are powerful officials and hundreds of families, such as farmers and our Yin and Yang family."
"Speaking of which, the disciples of the Yin Yang family sometimes participate in it, like Da Siming, Black and White Young Siming, before they became elders, they also carried out debt collection tasks of the Iron Blood Alliance."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiao looked at Da Siming and Black and White Young Siming.
"I have killed two people who violated the bet, an official and a noble."
Da Siming spoke slowly, and the cold and sexy voice of Yujie sounded.
"I have killed three people who violated the bet, a noble, a businessman, and a leader of the Jianghu forces."
The black and white young Siming also spoke slowly, his voice was like a wind chime. What was strange was that their voices completely overlapped, and even their mouth shapes and expressions were exactly the same.
After listening to this, Cheng Qiao was thoughtful, and after thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising that the supporters behind the Iron Blood Alliance were people of that type. After all, only people of that type had huge financial and manpower.
Thinking of the attitudes of Zi Nu, Han Fei, Jade Tiger, Wei Zhuang, Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei and others towards the Iron Blood Alliance in the anime, Cheng Qiao felt a little strange.
If there are powerful officials behind the Iron Blood Alliance in South Korea, then Ye Mu must be a threshold that cannot be avoided. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the banker of the Iron Blood Alliance in South Korea. Why is Ye Mu also so afraid of the Iron Blood Alliance?
The Iron Blood Alliance is just a loose alliance. As Ye Mu's power in South Korea is so great, it shouldn't be so. Is it possible that they are afraid that the Korean Iron Blood Alliance will pay the price to ask for help from the other six-nation Iron Blood Alliance?
Luo Wang's investigation information has not been sent yet, Cheng Qiao is not someone who pretends to understand, he just asks if he doesn't understand.
"What about the Korean Iron Blood Alliance?"
"The Korean Iron Blood Alliance has ceased to exist in name only, and its leader is just a puppet. It has been divided up by Qin and Chu, and controls the business in western and eastern Korea respectively."
"Why didn't the Iron Blood Alliance of Wei get any advantage?"
"The Iron Blood Alliance of Qin and Chu fought fiercely at first and refused to give in to each other. However, after the fight, the Iron Blood Alliance of Wei could no longer bear it and withdrew on its own initiative."
Cheng Qiao laughed as soon as he heard it. In such a short sentence, he knew that the story that happened at the beginning should be very exciting.
Not surprisingly, the strength of the Iron Blood Alliance of each country should be linked to the national strength of each country. In South Korea, Qin was first, Chu was second, and Wei was third. The boss fought with the second child, and the third child was eliminated...
Putting it this way, it makes sense.
Nanyang is in the west of South Korea, where the Emerald Tiger's lair is. The Iron Blood Alliance personnel contacted should be from the Qin State. The composition behind the Iron Blood Alliance of the Qin State is complex and powerful. Ye Ye, Liu Sha and others are naturally very afraid of it.
Even if the Emerald Tiger is in contact with the Iron Blood Alliance of the Chu Kingdom, even though the Chu Kingdom's national strength is far from being fully unleashed due to institutional problems, due to its vast territory, the national strength it exerts is not comparable to that of South Korea.
Chu's national strength is at least among the top three among the seven countries, and South Korea, which is the last tier, cannot compete with it.
If a large-scale war is carried out, Chu State can make a comeback even if it is defeated, but South Korea will completely sink if it is defeated...
"If Luo Wang wants to attack the Iron Blood Alliance of Chu State, what will be the attitude of the Yin Yang family?"
Cheng Qiao didn't show any emotion on his face, but he spoke confidently in his heart. He believed that this multiple-choice question was easy to choose.
"It's nothing to worry about the mere loss of money. The Yin and Yang family will fully support Luo Wang." Concubine Yan said without hesitation.
Sure enough, some of the interests of the Yin Yang family in the Iron Blood Alliance were not taken seriously by the Yin Yang family at all. The target was always Canglong Qisu, and the Yin Yang family had to rely on the power of Qin.
No matter how powerful the various schools of thought are, they will not be the opponent of one country. Even the weakest South Korea, with a large army pressing on the border, has no choice but to run away and fight to the death.
"Why do you suddenly want to take action against the Iron Blood Alliance?" Moon God looked at Cheng Qiao curiously.
"Two reasons. First, the Luowang killer suffered a loss in front of the Iron Blood Alliance of Chu. Secondly, Luowang's finances are somewhat tight due to its expansion over the years."
"As the time to start the war of unification gets closer, the pace of expansion of the network must also be accelerated. This requires huge financial resources and manpower, and the Iron Blood Alliance happens to have both."
"The Iron Blood Alliance of the Six Nations, I intend to have Luo Wang annexed."
"Hmm... it seems inappropriate to use the word annexation. I should use the word replace."
"Is there any difference?" Moon God raised his eyes in time and said.
"Annexation means a major blood change, which requires purging many people. Substitution here only means seizing dominance, and only requires purging some people who are ignorant of current affairs."
To be continued...
