"Start exploring. Divide the searchers into three teams. One team explores, one team observes, and the remaining team maneuvers and is ready for battle at any time."
"Alternate every two sticks of incense to maintain physical strength."
"The environment here is a bit weird, so be sure to pay attention to safety."
Zhu Youji ordered as he looked at the evil spirits that were constantly emanating from the ancient ruins.
"Yes." After Gao Gao and Zhao Heng responded, they began to group up.
"Ding Xiu, put your things down and you join the exploration team. You will complete the first wave of exploration by cooperating with others."
"Xiao Li, your observation team will take Pixiu to observe the surrounding environment. If you remember anything, tell me in time."
"Lan Kui, your mobile team, rest first and prepare for battle. Once the battle starts, you will be responsible for long-range attacks."
There were only four people in Zhu Youji's team, so it was naturally easy to distribute them, and they were quickly divided into teams.
As for Zhu Youji, he will take charge of the overall situation and be ready to save people at any time.
When necessary, he will also follow the exploration team and go deep into the ruins room to look for clues.
Team centers such as Zhu Youji, Yu Xi, and Princess Zhenyuan generally adopt a rotation method to ensure that someone is observing outside the ruins and can notify the team in a timely manner. It also ensures that if an accident occurs, the entire army will not be wiped out.
"Yes." Ding Xiu responded, put down all the equipment and luggage, picked up the Miao knife again, wiped the blade, and got ready for battle.
Yuxi and Nightshade are also ready.
At this time, Princess Zhenyuan came over after arranging her team.
"Whether we can find clues to the Kunlun Mirror and Yuwen Tuo depends on this exploration."
"I have never asked Mr. Liu about the source of this information, because I trust Mr. Liu's judgment."
"However, I have also read the classics that Mr. Liu has read. Based on the above information, I can only infer that Yuwen Tuo disappeared near the Lost Desert, but it cannot be inferred that Kunlun Mirror is also lost in the Desert. I am very curious. Liu How did you deduce this secret?"
Princess Zhenyuan looked at Zhu Youji with a smile, waiting for his explanation.
Zhu Youji's expression remained unchanged and he calmly explained: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has read those classics, she naturally knows that when Dafeng was founded, it was funded by the mysterious family. But the strange thing is that after the founding of Dafeng, the mysterious family He did not enter the court, occupy power, nor ask for a large amount of money. Instead, he disappeared, and there is no record of it even in Dafeng's internal classics."
"Your Highness, what do you think about this?"
The smile on Princess Zhenyuan's face faded, her expression became serious, and she said in a deep voice: "I originally thought that it was Taizu who did this. In order to stabilize the country and the country, I used means to destroy this family and then destroyed the records. .”
"But with the loss of many historical records, I gradually discovered that there are big problems."
"According to the vague records in many classics, that family's power was extremely large, enough to change the structure of the seven major kingdoms, but it disappeared mysteriously. There may be many secrets hidden in it."
"Later, His Majesty found out that I was investigating this family, so he visited me specifically and showed me a painting."
"I think Mr. Liu must have seen this painting."
After hearing this, Zhu You had a slight understanding and said: "Kunlun Mirror?"
"That's right." Princess Zhenyuan nodded slightly and continued: "At that time, I suddenly realized that only the ancient artifact Kunlun Mirror has the miraculous effect of reversing yin and yang and traveling through time and space. Only in this way can the mysterious family help Taizu build his country. , the Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed at its peak. After all, the Great Sui Dynasty at that time was so powerful, but it was destroyed in just a few years. Although Zhou Shi helped, everything went too smoothly. "
"It's so smooth that it's unbelievable. Without others as a driving force, this would have been impossible."
"Yeah." Zhu Youji hummed softly and said a name: "Demon Gate."
"Magic Gate?"
"How could it be a demon gate?"
Princess Zhenyuan's expression changed and she murmured: "Shouldn't it be a demon sect?"
Princess Zhenyuan is no stranger to the demon sect. In recent years, the demonic forces active in the Jianghu are very powerful, and they are comparable to the first-class sects. However, the Jianghu forces are, after all, Jianghu forces, and Jianghu forces are at the mercy of them. Things like the court structure rarely happen.
And based on Princess Zhenyuan's understanding, the power of the Demon Sect is not even top-notch in the world, let alone the replacement of the seven kingdoms, the destruction of the Sui Dynasty, and the support of Dafeng to found the country?
The one who controlled the general situation of the Seven Kingdoms was the one from South Korea a few years ago. The others, even the King of Qin who was at the height of his power in recent years, and the Empress Dafeng, were all worse.
It’s not that the capabilities are much different, it’s just that the location, resources available, and national conditions are completely different.
Neither Dafeng nor Qin could achieve the feat of launching a war against the other six great powers.
This is almost an enemy to the whole world.
Only a lunatic, only a desperate dictator can do this.
And today, Zhu Youji actually told her that the Demon Sect was the mysterious family that destroyed the Sui Dynasty and supported the founding of Dafeng?
How is this possible?
"The Holy King of the Demon Sect is a figure who comes from the present and travels to the past. He knows the history of the future and understands the historical process, so he will definitely take advantage of the turbulent times to support the king he needs. In the torrent of history, Among them, we plunder resources and continue to grow.”
"So far, it seems that he has succeeded. After he succeeded, he chose to continue hiding behind the scenes, secretly supporting some people and forces, influencing the situation of the seven countries, and waiting for the opportunity."
Zhu Youji told some information about the Demon Sect with some reservations.
"Waiting for the opportunity?"
"What time are you waiting for?"
"He wants to seize the imperial power?"
"Unify the world?"
"Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?"
Princess Zhenyuan suddenly became nervous. For a member of the royal family like her, the most important thing is to consolidate the imperial power. Only when the imperial power is consolidated can they continue to enjoy privileges and continue to have power.
Once the imperial power changes, the fate awaiting these members of the royal family is that the worst is to be exiled, or hide in Tibet and become a street rat.
The fate of the descendants of the Sui Dynasty is vividly remembered.
The royal family of Dafeng was even more afraid of their own fate, so Dafeng had been consolidating the imperial power to prevent anyone from usurping the throne.
"Compared to unifying the world, becoming the emperor himself, and becoming the emperor for eternity, this holy king seems to prefer powerful power and eternal lifespan. He is a relatively pure warrior, and his greater ambition stems from this."
"If this were not the case, he would not have supported Dafeng to ascend to the throne in accordance with the historical trend, but would have chosen to be the emperor himself."
"As for seizing power, it may happen, but there is no need to worry about trying to usurp the throne."
Zhu Youji knew a lot about the future and past trends through the memories of Xiongtian's life simulation, and he had a very thorough analysis of Duan Lang's thoughts and character.
