It took Jiang Yao a while to finish communicating with Yu Kan.

Jiang Yao did not ask if the Huo Yuan Pearl was in her hand, but he was sure that Yu Kan had obtained the Huo Yuan Bead.

In any case, he was relieved that Yu Yan was safe and sound.

Qin Yu did not disturb Jiang Yao. He looked around in Jiang's clan city alone, feeling sad.

Back then, Shennong Tiancheng was one of the top fairy cities in the Divine Continent, but now it has become a ruins in a ghostly land.

A bright moon rises and shines on the ruins, making it look particularly cold and desolate.

Their hair and eyebrows have grown again at this time, and they are all disheveled.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Yao walked through the ruins, walked to Qin Yu, and took out a letter, "Brother Qin, look at this. This is the letter you left."

A letter I left for myself?

Qin Yu took it over doubtfully and unfolded it. He was startled at first, and then slowly showed a look of extreme horror.

After a long time, Qin Yu, who had read the letter, raised his eyes that were as calm as water, and said slowly: "Brother Zhongda, this is indeed my handwritten letter, there is no doubt about it. Are you the only one who will experience what will happen in the future?

?”

Jiang Yao replied: "There is also Li Xi."

Li Xi? Qin Yu understood, "No wonder Li Xi would do this. She has already organized the advance army to conquer the Qing Dynasty in the Central Region, and as the army leader, led the troops south."

Jiang Yao did not expect that the troops organized by Li Xi had already moved south.

"How many troops does she have?" Jiang Yao asked with some concern.

Qin Yu said: "Then the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty should be the Jiang Zhengyi in the letter, right? He is also your half-brother? I only found out after reading my letter that the Qing Emperor's name is Jiang Zhengyi."

"Under the banner of Concubine Can Yao, the Qing Dynasty annexed the Heihu tribe as the grandson of the Can family. Most of the Can family recognized Jiang Zhengyi's status, but Cankun and Canjie did not, and they fled back to Shen.

Zhou, so he raised his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty."

"The Yue clan army has united with the Chu state in Pankang to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Canjie and Li Xi's mother and son returned to the central region and organized troops to conquer the Qing Dynasty."

"Li Xi doesn't have many soldiers and horses. As far as I know, there are only 50,000. They are mainly Li troops and soldiers and horses sent by other martial clans. However, these 50,000 Central Territory coalition forces are all Wu Zun's army, and their strength is very low.

weak."

"The purpose of Li Clan and Yue Clan is to help Canjie and Cankun retake the Heihu tribe."

He had never thought before that why someone like Li Xi organized a coalition to go to the southern region to help the Yue clan fight against the Qing Dynasty. Now that he has cut off the letters of his descendants, he finally understands.

"Don't worry, it will be me and Li Xi who will bury you in the future. You will be buried in a grand ceremony with the courtesy of a national master, and a temple will be built to offer sacrifices." Jiang Yaodong sat down.

"Thank you." Qin Yu also sat down, "Unexpectedly, he turned into a mortal in later generations. Jiang Zhengyi must not be allowed to unify the real world. After he unifies, he must have extracted the fate of the real world. This person is our public enemy.

.”

He didn't know Jiang Zhengyi at all, even knowing it for the first time. But at this time, he had decided that Jiang Zhengyi would be his enemy in this life.

Not for anything else, just for the sake of the true world and no longer turning into mortals, for the sake of my own path!

Jiang Yao sighed: "I originally planned to announce this matter to the world so that Jiang Zhengyi's conspiracy could not succeed and the world would fight against it. I don't mind killing my relatives for the sake of the overall situation."

"However, it is useless to do this. People in the world will not believe it and will think it is our slanderous words."

Qin Yu shook his head: "People in the world don't believe it. Jiang Zhengyi will also change his strategy, which will be even more detrimental to us. For now, the only way is to keep it secret."

Jiang Yao said: "It was in later generations that I learned the secret from Brother Qin, so I told Brother Qin. I believe that Brother Qin, like Li Xi, would not sit back and watch the real world turn into a mortal, and watch Jiang Zhengheng rule the world."

Qin Yu stood up, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and after a while he said quietly:

"Brother Zhongda, I never imagined that you and I would have such a fate in the future. I also never imagined that you would be able to establish the Ming Kingdom and compete with the Qing Kingdom. Even if you lose, it will be glorious."

Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I was defeated and died, and I didn't win the battle. I will only be a loser in the history of future generations, and I failed to prevent the catastrophe of the real world."

Qin Yu turned back, his eyes sparkling: "I, Qin Zizhou, have made up my mind since I was young. I must stand out, become famous all over the world, and become a great hero in the world."

"Back then, when I became the Taoist Master of Yaogong and the Holy Son of the Divine Religion, I was very proud and full of ambitions. I thought I was young and noble, and could not be surpassed in the world."

"Who would have thought that by defecting to the Medicine Palace and deposing the Holy Son, decades of hard work would be lost in one fell swoop. Now, I am just the Siming Envoy, one of the Nine Thinking Envoys of the Divine Religion. Most of the forces that I have worked so hard to manage have abandoned me.

"

"It's hard to describe the feeling of all kinds of setbacks. Even I have been discouraged many times. If I hadn't considered my family, I would have no shame in staying in the church anymore."

"Zhongda, you are the left point check of the theocratic religion, and you happen to be in charge of the missionary power in the Western Regions. Your Ming Kingdom is also a religious power in name. Therefore, I have every excuse to serve the Ming Kingdom."

"I am the Siming Envoy. Isn't this God's will? This is a decision I made after careful consideration, not an impulse."

Serving the Ming Dynasty?

Jiang Yao was actually waiting for this sentence, but he looked hesitant and said: "Brother Qin is so talented, how can he be inferior to me?"

Qin Yu shook his head: "Brother Zhongda has the grace to save my life. He is also a rare person with a good temperament. He is also the Ming King who will build a strong country to compete with the Qing Dynasty in the future. His qualifications and luck are far better than mine. I am willing to work for you. Why?

No?"

He could tell that Jiang Yao was already a Medicine Saint, and his martial arts skills were stronger than his own. Such a person must be blessed with good luck. If he could stop being effective, he might be a great fortune.

This was also a good opportunity to break away from the Religion. He had given up hope in the Religion.

"If Brother Zhongda is willing to accept him, he will be my Qin Yu's lord from now on!"

Jiang Yao nodded happily, with a joyful look on his face: "Okay! Brother Qin is a talented person who can assist the king. With Brother Qin helping me, why should I worry about not succeeding in a big thing?"

"Brother Qin, I want to use Brother Qin as the Military Advisor Zhonglang General. Then we will establish the Zhongshu Province and the Zhengshi Hall, and use Brother Qin as the Zhongshu Shilang to participate in political affairs!"

Qin Yu didn't know what a minister of Zhongshu meant, who was involved in political affairs, but he knew that he must be an important minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Qin Yu, thank you, my lord!" Qin Yu immediately paid tribute as a minister. He is a decisive person who is good at seizing opportunities. Since he is optimistic about Jiang Yao and is determined to be loyal, he will not hesitate again.

"Zizhou is not a gift!" Jiang Yao said quickly and started to call Qin Yu by his cousin. Qin Yu was older than him. Jiang Yao had never called him by his cousin before, but it was different now.

"Although Zi Zhou has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and you and I treat each other as monarchs and ministers today, we are actually brothers, so why should Zi Zhou be so polite?"

Qin Yu cupped his hands and said, "Since I have returned to the Ming Dynasty, I am the Lord's minister, and the etiquette cannot be abolished."

Jiang Yao solemnly said: "Today Zizhou returns to the Ming Dynasty. If you don't let me down, I will never let you down. If the Ming Dynasty can really dominate the world, the wealth and honor of the Qin family will be with the country."

"Thank you, Lord." Qin Yu thanked him, "I want to stay in Jiangshui temporarily, gather the nine ghosts, and let them choose ghost soldiers... The nine ghosts all have a relationship with me and can help the Lord."

Jiang Yaodao: "The Jiangshui ghost soldiers are quite powerful. Without the orders of a few saints, I'm afraid they won't be able to be used by me, right?"

Qin Yu said confidently: "My lord, don't worry. I am the enlightened envoy of the divine religion, and my lord is Zuo Dianqian. They are both high-ranking officials of the divine religion. Jiugui has an old relationship with me, so he can definitely be mobilized."

"I speculate that my lord will send troops to unify Qiunan, right? At the critical moment, the Jiangshui ghost soldiers are the trump card."

Qin Yu was really smart, he even guessed that Jiang Yao was going to unify Qiunan.

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "That's right. Zi Zhou, tell me, how long will it take to unify the Western Region?"

Qin Yu sat down and said: "It is not difficult to unify Qiunan. It can be achieved within three years. But Qiunan is just a remote corner of the Western Region. Even if we take Qiunan area, it will not be enough to swallow up the Western Region."

"Unless...unless the Jiangdong region can also be mobilized, rely on the desert to the east and the Tianhuang River to the north, and combine the seven regions of Qiunan, Qiubei, Qiudong, Shuinan, Shuidong, Shuixi and Shuibei into one

.”

"Seven regions have been combined into one, accounting for 30% of the territory of the Western Region. Only with these 30% of the territory in hand can we have the possibility of unifying the Western Region."

Qin Yu was very familiar with the map of the Western Regions. He drew the map of the Western Regions directly on the ground. "The divine religion can only hold back the Western Regions' warlords, but the coalition of Western Regions' warlords will definitely appear. This is the first obstacle."

"The second obstacle is the anti-demon camp. Although the main force of the anti-demon camp has been transferred to the northern region, there are still a million troops left in the old camp in the western region. Once my lord becomes bigger, these troops will definitely deal with our army."

"The third obstacle is the Shenzhou Camp. When the time comes, the Shenzhou Camp will definitely send troops into the Western Regions to prevent the lord from unifying the Western Regions."

"So I think that after we get the seven regions, we should just make peace for the time being. We can't use troops any more. Instead, we should try our best to mediate and stabilize the territory."

"Then you have to wait. At least you have to wait for a perfect opportunity. Even if you wait ten years, you have to wait."

Jiang Yao couldn't help but sigh: "Zi Zhou's words are deeply in my heart. This is indeed the most feasible strategy. To unify the Western Regions, we can only take it one step at a time, and there is no need to rush."

The human race is too divided, and its unification is more difficult than the other races. Moreover, the other three races are the strongest forces and have unified and established a country.

The Ming Kingdom was just a small force in the Qiunan area. If it wanted to unify the Western Regions, it would encounter too many obstacles, too many enemies, and many variables.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was the only reform force, and it was difficult to reconcile the conflicts with the entire Zhenjie martial arts aristocracy, making the obstacles to unification even greater.

Even if the Western Regions can be unified, it will not be completed in ten or eight years.

Qin Yu knew Jiang Yao's thoughts and said with relief:

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't wait for a while. The Chu and Qing countries are currently fighting fiercely and facing each other. It will be difficult to determine the winner in a few decades. The affairs of the Witch Territory and the Southern Territory can be ignored for the time being."

"As for the Demon Realm, the Liang Kingdom is separated from the Biluo Tribe and the Gongshan Tribe to the east. It will take at least several decades for the Liang Kingdom to unify the Demon Realm. The same is true for the Demon Realm."

"As long as the lord takes over the entire Western Region within twenty years, he will have the strength to compete with the world's powerful countries. At that time, he will either go south or north..."

"When the time comes and Yu Zhou is established, my lord will be able to form an alliance with Zhou, and the east will have no worries for the time being."

The two discussed for a long time, and Jiang Yao's strategy became clearer.

Within three years, Qiunan was unified.

Within ten years, it slowly swallowed up seven lands and more than 200 counties in the east of the Western Region.

Within twenty years, the Western Regions were unified.

Diplomatically, he insisted on forming an alliance with the Zhou State in the Central Region.
