After meeting the sect master, Master Xiashan had a flash of regret when he came out. Although he planned to defeat this former number one competitor, he knew that his vision was not bad, but he suppressed him out of concern about Yu Fan's possession of the Dragon Ball.
After this incident, who would have thought that Ye Qing is the real hidden dragon...
"That's all, no one regrets taking the medicine, but there is still a chance for final victory... Just be patient and wait for the opportunity."
On the way to rest at the monastery halfway up the mountain, several junior brothers and fellow disciples exchanged information about the new situation in the state. Finally, someone couldn't help but said in a depressed voice: "Senior Brother, why didn't you kill that arrogant thief just now?"
"This is just a magician worshiped by a peripheral family. What's the use of killing him? Can he be used as evidence to impeach a Dongtian Lord?"
As Master Xiashan spoke, he saw several people frowning in confusion. He was a little disappointed with the quality of his fellow disciples. He sighed and said: "To be fair, in the past, our sect set an example for monks across the state and could lynching people regardless of evidence, but now
Yingzhou is about to fall into the hands of Qingmai, which is inherently inconsistent with our Tumai, so we must restrain our actions to avoid suppression by the local princes..."
"Privately speaking, Ye Qing is well-known for guarding his shortcomings, and he will always retaliate. If you draw his attention at this critical moment, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"Maybe I'm looking for an excuse to make trouble. Even if I don't care about personal gains and losses, I still have to consider the teacher's sect."
"This is the same, but the Governor..."
Master Xiashan snorted: "Old Yan has too much time to take care of himself, how can he still take care of us?"
Everyone was also secretly dissatisfied with the governor's incompetence. They were more afraid of the current situation and confused about the future.
Seeing that the morale was low, Master Xiashan thought for a moment and said a little more calmly: "It's good to get through this period. We will meet with various princes in the capital this time and make some connections with them."
"As long as one of the county princes is transferred to the state, he will unify all the surrounding immortal sects. We are not alone... No matter how powerful Ye Qing is, he dares to fight with the prince?"
"But now, we can't give Ye Qing any leverage. Yu Fan and Qin Lie's junior brothers will probably have to withdraw."
Several junior brothers looked at each other, unable to suppress the surprise in their eyes, and whispered: "Congratulations, senior brother, Yuanshan and Chongshan have lost. Now no one can compete with you for the position of the next leader.
"
Master Xiashan shook his head: "Don't congratulate, we can't be suspicious of each other and make jokes like the state capital. Only by having internal harmony and working together in the same boat can we overcome the difficulties..."
"Yes, yes..."
The voices of the conversation were scattered in the mountain wind. When returning to the room, Master Xiashan looked down the mountain for the last time.
The mountain forest is deep, and only the moonlight shines on the ancient road. The stone road has been smoothed by walking after several winds and rains, and has accumulated a heavy atmosphere of time.
He couldn't help but recall the first time he went up the mountain with his master, when he was still a young man, and he had heard the introduction of the origin of the sect. In name, it was the direct line of the Yellow Emperor, but in fact it was a small immortal sect that slowly grew up, and finally in
The opportunity of the Cai Dynasty's Ding Dynasty led to the integration of the whole state into the Great Immortal Sect. This long inheritance history lasts at least two thousand years.
In the records recorded by the sect from generation to generation, we have witnessed the fall of glorious dignitaries and the fall of powerful people... But only this Guangyuan Mountain has always existed in the past, exists now, and will exist in the future.
I have believed this since I was a child, and even all the monks who choose the earth line firmly believe in this. Many facts support my view.
Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the earth veins and fire veins have become stronger and stronger, and the status of the two emperors, Yellow Emperor and Red Emperor, has become deeper and deeper.
The expansion of power and luck is even close to that of three Tao Lords, who can protect the disciples a little... Although the power of protection is not very deep, and there are many good and bad in the sect, as long as one does not seek death, the vitality of the second lineage will be better than that of the remaining three lines.
They are all much higher. This is a real statistical result from past dynasties.
In history, in most dynasties, Tu De and Huo De took turns in power.
The golden line can occasionally be strong, but the dynasty inheritance is not stable. Basically, once the destiny is gone, there is no possibility of succeeding vassal states of the same lineage.
However, Shuimai was trapped in secret conflicts between insiders and dragons, and investment was dispersed, so the success rate of the new dynasty was not high. As for the Mumai Dynasty... it was short-lived and could almost be ignored.
Such a general trend will not be changed by a mere Dongtian Lord. On the day Ye Qing is defeated, those Taoist companions and those short-sighted family monarchs will eventually betray Separation and kneel down in front of the new dynasty again, regretting that they are the superiors.
Ye Qing's pirate ship...
This absurd farce has repeated itself time and time again in history, turning the once shining stars into fading meteors, especially those who chose the wrong path.
Under the counterattack of Tu De's power, even if the green vein meteor is slightly larger, as long as it does not become an immortal, it will not change the outcome.
Master Xia Shan knew the source of the hatred in his heart, not only because of the interests of the sect, but also because Ye Qing denied his own path - how many princes sought favor from their own lineage but could not get it, and how could anyone refuse after being invited?
"Arrogantly refusing to win over from this lineage will be the biggest mistake you make in your life, the stupidest and most fatal mistake."
Yanzhou County
At this time, with Ye Qing's triumphant return, there were noisy gongs and drums all the way, and the villagers expressed their joy at being freed from the invasion... It may be a show organized by the squire, but having such an expression shows that they have a certain degree of control over this place.
"Kong Ming, you have contributed a lot to the governance of this county." Ye Qing praised Zhuge Liang when he saw him.
Zhuge Liang said modestly: "My lord, the war is still effective, and a large number of onlookers are suddenly turned to the side."
"Oh, no one is immune to strength..."
Ye Qing was not surprised by this. The Ye family alliance had long secretly controlled several newspapers in the state. In the past, they could not publicize it under Yan Shenyuan's suppression. Now they have no scruples and are hyping up Ye Zhenjun's glorious achievements in forcing tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty to retreat.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, newspapers vigorously publicized it, and it suddenly became famous. People in other counties who were somewhat resistant gradually accepted his rule... This was a very important change in people's hearts.
The people of Yanzhou County had just been spared from the direct military attack of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this was even more true. Even the county and city controlled by Yu Fan gradually lost control of the isolated city and could hardly control the people's hearts. Now they are more conservatively maintained in the military camp, and there are already important points.
Signs of retreat.
Ye Qing passed by this place on his way back and had someone send him a letter to persuade him to surrender... I believe that this person would not be able to see clearly the sudden turn of events.
In teahouses and restaurants on the streets, storytellers no longer limited themselves to episodes from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms," but instead recounted the fresh history of Ye Zhenjun's campaigns against the Northern Wei Dynasty, which attracted applause from the crowd.
"Hey, Li Laosi, you haven't always wanted to see people from Nancang, so why are you changing your tune now?" someone joked.
Li Laosi became anxious and held back a sentence: "If you think about it carefully, even though you are not from this county, you are still from this state. Doesn't this mean you have defeated the beard?"
The storyteller above had just finished the next paragraph, took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "Protecting the safety of this state is a matter of righteousness. This is what people want."
"That's right, scholars can make it clear..."
"Chi" chuckled, causing everyone to look at him angrily. They saw the wind blowing from the corner of the wall, and except for a faint fragrance, there was no one around.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder, did they hear it wrong?
Someone whispered: "Be careful, it's a member of the Yu family, shush."
The crowd immediately fell silent and quickly dispersed.
The streets outside were crowded with people, and cars and horses were passing by. An ordinary-looking girl smiled brightly, and pulled an ordinary-looking young man to joke: "Husband, who else do you represent? When the newspaper spoke, everyone was overwhelmed by you.
Is this your right to speak?"
This girl is a Qianqian with a transformed appearance, and the boy is Ye Qing. At this time, he just smiled and responded casually, taking her for a walk, buying some snacks, looking at some gadgets, and making up for the negligence of not shopping with her for a long time...
The city has been sealed off, and the market is still prosperous. If the estimate is good, a complete county can be accepted in a few days.
Soon, in a private room of a restaurant, Ye Qing saw the secret report from the person who delivered the letter: "Yu Fan received the letter, read it three times, pondered, and did not respond."
"oh……"
Ye Qing touched his chin and nodded for him to go down.
"The army has pressed in here, why don't you just capture Yu Fan and ask someone to send a letter to persuade him to surrender?" Qianqian looked at Ye Qing and asked: "Don't you have deep hatred?"
"Oh, a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone... Everyone knows that Yu Fan and I have a life-and-death feud, but if I allow such a sworn enemy to surrender and give him a heavy responsibility, wouldn't other enemies be even more excited?"
Ye Qing answered, seeing Qianqian's beautiful eyebrows frowning, knowing that she was worried, and said: "Don't worry, if you don't have a strong foundation and a team that doesn't build up, then accepting outsiders like this will only lead to the collapse of the organization."
"But now that the Han people and the original team have been stabilized, I don't have to worry about the problem of overshadowing the host, let alone the problem of distinguishing the enemy."
"The tide is rolling, and we should bid farewell with roads, not with power... This is the last chance for these enemies."
Qianqian listened, biting her lower lip, and said quietly: "Now we must first gain righteousness, and then win the support of the people with benevolence. As long as we get past this point, it will be justified?"
"That's it. Only when the name is right can the words be true. Qianqian, you have grasped the essence." Ye Qing deliberately said with a cowardly look.
Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, knowing that this was to make her feel at ease. She thought about it carefully and gradually smiled: "No wonder my husband publicized Yu Fan's surrender letter last time. No one believed it at first. Now that my husband has shown his strength,
I’m afraid the enemies don’t trust each other now, and it’s going to be a headache, right?”
"Well, attacking the city is the bottom priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority... Different wars have different fighting methods. Yingzhou is already in the pocket militarily, and the rest is just politics and economics. Ultimately, it is the unification of the people. Tai
Being too blunt will easily cause more losses, so why not let the enemy bear the losses?"
Ye Qing said and smiled: "I want to quickly conquer the whole state, so I deliberately give some people the illusion that I can hide and wait for the opportunity."
"It's impossible to guard against power-driven tactics. There may be many hidden hands, ready to give me a fatal blow... In fact, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days."
"But as long as the skin is thick and the walls are high, there is no fatal reason." Ye Qing said: "Look at the rebellions in the past, as long as the emperor and the central government cannot be controlled immediately, even if there are thousands of conspiracies and thousands of calculations, so what
Woolen cloth?
"By then the whole state is in control, the people's hearts have been set, and a new interest class has emerged. I may not have become an immortal myself. Do I care about this small group of people going against the trend?"
"Whether it's the sun or the spring thunder, it's the bastards who play tricks with them. As long as you have an army in hand, you can strike with thunder, confiscate your family and exterminate your clan, and take away your life and death. Wouldn't it be fun?"
"Cunning, Sister Hengyun is right, your husband is indeed a big devil."
"Madam, thank you, thank you... Yu Fan hasn't given me an answer today. I suspect he has other ideas. Let's go back and wait for a few days. The feudal lord is coming down soon. He doesn't have much time. I want to see him.
What else are you going to do?”
Ye Qing suppressed his smile and looked thoughtful.
