When the pilgrims saw Fakong unexpectedly appearing, they all saluted together and called him "Fakong Divine Monk" with excited expressions.
Fa Konghe even smiles.
Chengxu looked on with a smile.
After entering the gate and arriving at Chengxu's abbot's courtyard, the two of them sat in a small pavilion and the young novice served them tea.
Fakong glanced at the ordinary-looking little novice monk, who was already a master at such a young age.
Apparently he is another prodigy from the Great Leiyin Temple.
Chengxu smiled and said: "Sure enough, the name is well-deserved, the sacred monk's horn resounded throughout the sacred capital."
"Uncle, it's funny." Fakong smiled lightly.
Chengxu slowly stopped smiling and put down the tea cup: "Fakong, what do you think of the strength of the Tianhai Sword Sect?"
"Uncle, you should know, right?"
"I only know a rough idea. I know that they have expanded overseas in recent years, their strength has skyrocketed, and their wealth is astonishing."
Fakong said: "Their strength is indeed amazing. As far as I know, they have hidden most of their masters on the islands. In fact, they have secretly controlled the islands."
"Is he that strong?" Chengxu's face darkened slightly.
Fakong said: "Master, do you think that with the temperament of the Tianhai Sword Sect, they will tolerate the islands on the sea threatening the safety of their disciples?"
"...But the islands on the sea are not weak either." Chengxu said: "And there are so many islands, how can we take care of them?"
"If you conquer one island one by one, no matter how many islands you have, you can capture it." Fakong said: "They probably used this method. They just did it secretly. Moreover, they stood behind the scenes, not in the front."
"Secretly controlling the islands."
"Exactly."
"If we really go this far, the strength of the Sea Sword Sect that day will be truly terrifying."
"Strong is strong, but it also has limitations," Fakong said: "After all, their power is only in the south, not the north."
Chengxu said coldly: "Now their ambition can no longer be hidden. They want to be the best sect in the world."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and cold lightning shot out.
In fact, each of the three major sects has its own territory, and their strength seems to be quite different. It is not clear who is the best sect in the world.
Some say it is the Daxueshan Sect, some say it is the Guangming Holy Sect, but no one has ever said it is the Tianhai Sword Sect.
At the beginning, the Tianhai Sword Sect was not so strong, and it seemed that it was not as strong as the Snow Mountain Sect and the Guangming Holy Sect.
There is no need for the three major sects to compete.
But they didn't fight, but the Tianhai Sword Sect wanted to fight. Taking action against Fakong sent out a signal.
Fakong nodded: "They feel that their strength is worthy of being called the number one sect in the world."
"If they are known as the number one sect in the world, they will become more powerful. All young people who want to practice martial arts will want to join the Tianhai Sword Sect."
Not all Daxueshan Sect recruits monks, but also lay disciples, and lay disciples make up the majority.
The world is so big that there are only so many talented geniuses. Once all the geniuses are snatched away by the Tianhai Sword Sect, they will rise and fall, and the Snow Mountain Sect will slowly decline until the inheritance becomes difficult.
This is something that the Snow Mountain Sect cannot tolerate.
Fakong said: "So, does the Snow Mountain Sect want to have an arm-wrestle with them?"
"That's right." Chengxu said in a deep voice: "Fakong, you have fought against them and know them better. Tell me what you think."
"They won't show up again for the time being." Fakong said: "At least they won't show up again until they are sure to deal with me."
"I hope so." Chengxu snorted and said, "If you come again, our Snow Mountain Sect will support you in counterattacking the Tianhai Sword Sect. You can just go ahead and kill. There is no need to restrain your hands."
Fakong looked at him with a smile.
Chengxu smiled lightly and said, "Do you also think that we should be compassionate and humble to them?"
"When it comes to the sect's inheritance, of course we can't give in." Fakong said: "But has Master Uncle ever considered having another party?"
"Um?"
"emperor."
"emperor!?"
"Uncle, if I hadn't been concerned about the Emperor, I would have killed Tan Qiuhan, and even went south to kill a group of masters from the Tianhai Sword Sect to see if they dared to be so arrogant."
At that time, he deduced in the spirit turtle armor what would happen if he killed Tan Qiuhan.
The results show that there will be an inexplicable force involved to prevent him from killing himself.
You can't see it in the spirit tortoise armor, but it can still block your own power. I'm afraid I can count it on ten fingers.
He speculated that it was most likely the emperor.
Chengxu looked solemn.
He turned his head and looked to the north, which was the direction of the Forbidden Palace.
"If Daxueshan Zongzhen and the Tianhai Sword Sect fight, the entire Daqian will be in turmoil. Will the emperor agree?"
"Won't."
"What will the situation be like?" Fa Kong said with a smile: "It will be fine if a disciple of the Tianhai Sword Sect assassinates the fifteenth princess."
It is obvious that the Emperor will favor the Tianhai Sword Sect.
Why favor the Tianhai Sword Sect?
Because of the interests.
The Tianhai Sword Sect now dominates the south of Daqian, establishing shipping routes on the sea, guarding the sea lanes, and ensuring the smooth progress of maritime trade.
Once there is chaos in the Tianhai Sword Sect, there will be chaos on the sea, and some pirates and pirates may take the opportunity to invade the southern border.
At that time, Daqian will still have to send troops to quell the chaos. Maritime trade will no longer be profitable, and sending troops will cost money.
Chengxu's face darkened slightly: "So, we will definitely suffer this loss?"
"So if we want to take action, we must not do it openly, we can only do it secretly." Fakong smiled and said: "It is best for people to not be able to grasp the clues."
"Isn't this because the tail is too big to fall off?" Chengxu frowned and said, "It's strange, with the emperor's wisdom and military skills, can't he see this crisis?"
According to his understanding of the emperor and his far-reaching strategy, he would never make such an unbalanced mistake.
But this time, the Tianhai Sword Sect became the dominant family, especially guarding the maritime trade and channels.
This is completely different from the defenses of Daxue Mountain and Daguangming Peak.
Fakong said: "Maybe the emperor didn't expect this to happen, right? I didn't think it would go so smoothly. I didn't expect the Tianhai Sword Sect to be very lucky."
The martial arts of the islands on the sea are strange and difficult to deal with. According to the emperor's plan, even if the islands on the sea are conquered, the strength of the Tianhai Sword Sect will be exhausted enough.
Unexpectedly, the Tianhai Sword Sect obtained the Dust Sword Formation and a stronger martial arts inheritance. As a result, they did not suffer much losses in cleaning up the islands. On the contrary, the Tianhai Sword Sect's masters increased sharply, their strength greatly increased, and they developed the ambition to compete for the No. 1 sect in the world. Ambition.
"Now that the tail is too big to fall off, what will happen to the Emperor?"
"We can only endure it." Fakong said: "We can't deal with the Tianhai Sword Sect now, as it will delay important events."
Especially now that Daqian and Dayong have not been able to form a complete alliance, Dayun is still eyeing it. Once Tiannan is in turmoil, Dayun will never let go of the opportunity.
So I can only endure it.
Who in this world can be satisfied?
An emperor will also suffer and suffer. Even if his most favored princess is assassinated, he cannot punish the assassin severely.
He speculated that if the Snow Mountain Sect or the Guangming Holy Sect secretly dealt with the Tianhai Sword Sect and continuously weakened the Tianhai Sword Sect, as long as they maintained a certain degree of control and did not let the two sects really fight, and did not make it so big that the two sects started a full-scale war, the emperor would turn a blind eye. Close one eye.
Grasp this key and you will be well prepared.
If you want to kill the Tianhai Sword Sect, kill them, but don't kill too important people, lest you really anger the Tianhai Sword Sect.
"Bang!" Chengxu slammed the stone table.
Both teacups jumped up.
Fakong caught one, opened it and took a sip: "Master, there's no need to be angry, just take your time, and let's see who can have the last laugh."
"Fakong, next time the Tianhai Sword Sect provokes you, come to me directly." Chengxu hummed, "My hands are very itchy."
"Yes." Fakong smiled.
When Fakong returned to the small courtyard outside his Vajra Temple, he found Yi Wang Chuyun sitting at the stone table, motionless in a daze.
He was the only one in the small courtyard.
There were no guards around the outer courtyard, so Chu Yun came alone.
Normally, Chu Yun's pomp is not small.
Once you travel, there are often more than a dozen guards accompanying you, either openly or covertly, to protect you.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, he values his own life very much.
This time, I came alone.
"Your Majesty." The law and space combined with the tithe.
Chu Yun stood up, put his hands together, and said with a wry smile: "Master, you should know the news, right?"
"...the news that the prince is going to Tianjing?"
"Alas!" Chu Yun let out a long sigh and sat down slumped: "I never expected that my father would let me go."
"The other party sent Prince Ming over." Fakong said: "We can only send one equal here. Prince Yi, think about it, if the emperor sends Prince Ying over, wouldn't you be happy?"
Chu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Fakong said: "Prince Ming is the prince that Dayong has the highest hopes for and is most likely to become the next emperor."
Chu Yun smiled.
According to the principle of reciprocity, this means that in the eyes of his father, he is the most promising prince to inherit the throne.
He then sighed again: "If I am happy in normal times, but now I am not happy at all, I am afraid that my life will be in danger."
"Dayong will fight tooth and nail to protect Prince Ming's safety, just like we fight to protect Prince Ming's safety."
"That may not be able to protect it."
"Under such protection, if you can't protect the prince, then you can only say that it is fate." Fakong smiled and said, "Who can resist fate?"
"Master, you can change your destiny against the will of heaven!" Chu Yun looked at him earnestly.
Fakong sighed: "Your Majesty, my clairvoyance has limitations and is not omnipotent."
"Lao Jiu will definitely not be able to survive without you this time." Chu Yun said hurriedly: "Now I can only place my hope on you, Master."
Fakong said: "If I can help the prince, I should do my best."
Chu Yun smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank you, Master."
He came just to ask for this word.
With the help of Fa Kong's clairvoyance, his chances of survival are greatly increased. At least he can know about the assassination in advance and avoid it.
He stood up and sighed deeply: "Master's kindness, Xiao Wang will always remember it in his heart and will never forget it."
Fakongheshi returned the courtesy: "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
Chu Yun said goodbye and left, striding away.
His steps were light and his mood became relaxed.
Fakong sighed.
This psychological quality is really excellent, and he can adjust himself so quickly.
He could imagine how panicked, angry, unwilling and helpless King Yi Chuyun was when he heard the news.
Now I feel calm, calm and even light.
It seems that although King Yi usually seeks stability, he is full of adventurous spirit in his heart. He is really not an ordinary person.
In terms of psychological quality, King Yi is even better than King Xin.
No wonder the emperor valued him so much and regarded him as the heir to the throne.
