The news that Ye Xiaochuan traveled thousands of miles to northern Liaoning and had secret talks with Zhan Ying, the chief military officer of Liaobei Road, soon spread to the ears of several powerful forces in the world.
The first person to get the news was naturally the royal family.
The emperor and the prince had just returned from the morning court and were having breakfast when they suddenly received news from the Royal Cultivation Academy.
Ye Xiaochuan, who had taken beautiful women to visit temples in Mount Xumi a few days ago, appeared in Changbai Mountain in northern Liaoning, and even met Zhan Ying.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the secret message in his hand with a strange expression.
He glanced at the Crown Prince Zhao Shiyu, but there was no unusual expression on the Crown Prince's face.
His Majesty the Emperor said, "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhao Shiyu said: "Zhan Ying and Ye Xiaochuan are old acquaintances. We have known this for a long time. It is reasonable for Ye Xiaochuan to go to northern Liaoning and visit Zhan Ying nearby."
His Majesty the Emperor said: "What do you think they are talking about in secret?"
Zhao Shiyu said: "Ye Xiaochuan is the leader of Guixuan Sect and one of the most talkative people in the world of cultivation today.
Zhan Ying is just a mortal with no knowledge of spiritual practice. I think they are just catching up on old times, and there is unlikely to be any interest relationship between them."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly and said: "My father is not worried about whether there is any interest relationship between them, but he is worried that Yu Jizi will make some fuss about this matter.
Zhan Ying's military talent and his willingness to win at all costs far exceed those of Zhao Xianfeng, Zhao Zian, Xu Kai and others. He is a talent that your father has left for you to use in the future.
If Yujizi abandons this person because of his relationship with Ye Xiaochuan, it will be a huge loss to the world."
Zhao Shiyu was silent.
It is said that immortals and mortals are divided and ruled, but in many major decisions, it is Yu Jizi who calls the shots.
This has long aroused dissatisfaction among many young hawks, including Zhao Shiyu.
His father's worries were not unfounded. This time Ye Xiaochuan appeared in northern Liaoning and went to the military camp to have a secret talk with Zhan Ying. Yu Jizi probably felt that there must be a close relationship between Ye Xiaochuan and Zhan Ying.
Ye Xiaochuan's strength is already great enough, and Yu Jizi definitely doesn't want to see Ye Xiaochuan extend his hand into the mortal army.
The world needs a military commander.
From the current point of view, only Zhao Zian and Zhan Ying can take on this important task.
Both have pros and cons.
Zhao Zian felt a little indecisive, and when looking at the overall situation and fighting with large-scale corps, Zhao Zian was still a little unable to do what he wanted.
Zhan Ying's structure is big enough and his heart is ruthless enough. He is also the descendant of Li Tielan. It is natural and justifiable to be the marshal of the human army.
But he does not have any qualifications and it is difficult to convince the public in the army.
In fact, Zhao Shiyu's heart was biased towards Zhan Ying.
He and Zhao Zian grew up together and have been friends for many years. He understands Zhao Zian's shortcomings.
A battle, small-scale and small-area defense, attack, and tug-of-war, Zhao Zian is definitely a genius among geniuses.
But the Catastrophe War involves an overall battle, especially the final decisive battle. There are countless human legions participating in the battle, and there are at least 40 to 50 million soldiers participating in the battle.
The area covered covers hundreds of miles in length and breadth.
In this combat area of hundreds of miles, there are countless strongholds, countless mountains, and countless teams.
Even if Zhao Zian had a huge staff group behind him, it would be difficult for him to calmly dispatch such a huge legion.
The decisive battle at Kunlun Mountain more than 6,000 years ago was due to the lack of ability of the commander of the human army, which resulted in tens of millions of mortal soldiers fighting independently in a combat area of 300 miles, like a piece of scattered sand.
Zhan Ying is Li Tielan's descendant. As long as he really inherits the essence of Li Tielan's military art, it will be possible to organize such a large battle.
However, now it has been made public that Zhan Ying and Ye Xiaochuan knew each other.
Yu Jizi, Tuoba Yu and others absolutely do not want to see Ye Xiaochuan have a close relationship with the future marshal of the world's military.
Just as the father and son were worried, at this moment in Cangyun Mountain, Yu Jizi was in the study room, talking to Gu Jianchi about Ye Xiaochuan's appearance in northern Liaoning.
However, the direction of their discussion did not seem to be the same as that of His Majesty and the Prince.
Yujizi said: "Jianchi, what do you think is the reason for Ye Xiaochuan's appearance in Northern Xinjiang this time?
Is he really just looking for Zhan Ying?"
Gu Jianchi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible, today is already seventeen, and in three days it will be the Cangyun Secret Meeting. Ye Xiaochuan has already received our invitation, and he will definitely come.
In such a short period of time, he must have left Mount Sumeru for northern Liaoning for an important event.
Zhan Ying was just a mortal, and it was unlikely that Ye Xiaochuan would travel thousands of miles to northern Liaoning just for a mortal.
I think he was just passing by to meet Zhanying and his sworn brother Wanyanku.
His real purpose should be Changbai Mountain Tianchi."
Yu Jizi nodded approvingly and said: "My teacher feels the same way. In the entire northern Liaoning region, the only place worthy of Ye Xiaochuan's personal visit is the Changbai Mountain Tianchi.
Now we only know that the seal of Tianchi was placed by the evil god back then. As for what treasures were sealed in the seal, we still don’t know.
But since it was planted by the evil god, and the White Fox clan has been guarding Tianchi for more than 20,000 years, it shows that the things sealed at the bottom of Tianchi are not trivial.
The people Ye Xiaochuan comes into contact with are all beyond your reach. He has a very good relationship with Senior Yao Xiaofu.
Maybe he already knows what is sealed in Tianchi, and this time he went to Northern Xinjiang, maybe he went to the sealed thing."
Gu Jianchi's eyes flickered, and he said with some worry: "If this is really the case, then the situation will be somewhat unfavorable to us.
Now that Ye Xiaochuan has occupied the Southern Territory, the power of Ghost Xuanzong is rapidly expanding. If he is allowed to obtain the evil god's sealed object, he will definitely be even more powerful.
Master, how should we respond?"
Yu Jizi said slowly: "The White Fox Clan has always been independent from the human race. Even if you are a teacher, you cannot order the White Fox Clan."
Gu Jianchi said: "In the past, when fighting between sects, the White Fox clan could not obey the master's orders, but now the affairs of the world involve the Pangu clan.
Back then, the White Fox Clan followed the Nuwa Empress to encircle and suppress the Pangu Clan.
If Master uses the Pangu clan as a breakthrough point, he may be able to mobilize Yao Xiaofu to prevent Ye Xiaochuan from obtaining the Tianchi seal."
Yu Jizi's eyes lit up and he said: "Jianchi, what you said has reminded me. I will write a handwritten letter right now. You can immediately send it to Changbai Mountain and give it to Mr. Yao. I hope Mr. Yao will have some scruples."
Alas, no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when he stumbles.
In fact, Ye Xiaochuan had no intention of trying to seal Tianchi.
He simply went to northern Liaoning to see Zhan Ying and listen to Zhan Ying's views on the future situation of the world.
As a result, in the eyes of smart people like Yu Jizi and Gu Jianchi, his actions became a conspiracy to seal Tianchi.
This is a typical case of being clever but being misled by cleverness.
