If Daxue Mountain is a sect force, then Su Xin's position in the northwest will definitely cause some kind of conflict with Daxue Mountain.
But the problem is that Daxue Mountain simply wants to be a holy place for martial arts inheritance. Even few people in the Central Plains martial arts can achieve this. Therefore, in this way, there will not be so many conflicts of interest between Su Xin and Daxue Mountain.
Only then can the two become allies.
Nalan Ronghai cupped his hands in front of Su Xin and said, "I wonder why Mr. Su came to our Daxue Mountain?"
Su Xin said: "I'm looking for the master of Tantai Mountain."
Nalan Ronghai nodded and said: "The mountain master is doing some cleaning. Sir, please come with me."
As a Yangshen realm warrior who is actually responsible for various affairs in Daxue Mountain, Nalan Ronghai's status in Daxue Mountain is actually the same as Xuanming's in Shaolin Temple.
At the beginning, Nalan Ronghai even wanted to compete with Su Xin. After all, everyone is a warrior, and only a few people can look down on fame and fortune. When Su Xin lost so many warriors in a row in the Snow Mountain, Nalan Rong
Hai Ziran was also a little unconvinced.
But now that Su Xin has been promoted to Zhenwu, Nalan Ronghai can be said to have no other thoughts, and the existence of Zhenwu realm is not so easy to surpass.
Nalan Ronghai took Su Xin to the top of the Snowy Mountains and left, where Tantai Mieming was meditating in seclusion.
When Su Xin walked over, Tantai Mieming was standing under the cliff at the top of the mountain, looking at the scenery below. However, in Su Xin's view, there was nothing interesting about it, because the Snowy Mountains were surrounded by snowy wasteland, and there was nothing interesting about it no matter how he looked at it.
It's a vast expanse of white.
Su Xin cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the mountain master's cleaning up this time."
Tantai Mieming turned around and smiled and said: "The so-called Qingxiu is actually just a nice thing to say. There is no real quiet place in the world. Why don't you have to worry about some trivial things?"
.
Just like Mr. Su, you came to see me this time, and you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If something hadn’t happened, I don’t think you, Mr. Su, would have come to my Daxue Mountain, right?"
Su Xin smiled and said: "It's not that I don't come, but I come too often. I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable, Mountain Master."
What Su Xin said is true.
The mountain master of Daxue Mountain is Tantai Mieming. In terms of strength, Su Xin has never fought against Tantai Mieming, but the opponent is a veteran Zhenwu realm strongman with unfathomable strength. Although he has not reached Shenqiao, now
Su Xin stood in front of Tantai Mieming and couldn't feel his depth.
But strength is something that only both parties know, and there is no accurate ranking on the Heavenly Ranking, but when it comes to fame, Su Xin is much greater than Tantai Mieming.
In this way, if Su Xin goes in and out of the Snowy Mountains too many times, it will inevitably give Tantai Mieming the idea that Su Xin is establishing a presence in the Snowy Mountains and wants to interfere with the forces in the Snowy Mountains.
In fact, Su Xin really has no interest in Daxue Mountain, a group of warriors who only know how to cultivate quietly, so in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Su Xin rarely comes to Daxue Mountain.
Tantai Mieming said: "Master Su, you have done something wrong. Daxue Mountain does not have so many rules, and I am not so small-minded.
Okay, let’s get down to business, why did Mr. Su come to see me this time?”
Su Xin looked at Tantai Mieming and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I just want to ask the mountain master. Now I am the northwest king and the honorary elder of Daxue Mountain. But what if one day I am no longer the northwest king of the imperial court?
Is Daxueshan willing to continue this cooperative relationship with me?"
Asking this question is also the purpose of Su Xin coming to Daxue Mountain. He just wants a promise from Daxue Mountain. Regardless of whether this promise is true or false, at least Su Xin must ensure the safety of his own rear.
Tantai Mieming was stunned at first, but then Tantai Mieming said directly: "The person who is the honorary elder of Daxue Mountain is Su Xin, not the northwest king of the imperial court. This has been like this from the beginning, and it has never changed.
."
Su Xingong cupped his hands and said: "Although I, Su Xin, have been criticized by the world, at least I am worthy of my name. Since the mountain master will not betray his trust, then I, the honorary elder, will naturally fulfill my own responsibilities.
From now on, as long as I, Su Xin, am here, my subordinates will ensure the safety and inheritance of Daxue Mountain, and make Daxue Mountain peacefully become the only holy land of martial arts in the northwest."
Tantai Mieming nodded, and he didn't say much. At the level of him and Su Xin, in fact, a promise is just an agreement. What to do depends on the other party's actions and attitude, otherwise it will be violated in both ways.
Well, promises are of no use.
However, Tantai Mieming then asked: "Master Su, are you ready to break with the imperial court?"
Su Xin suddenly came to Daxue Mountain to say this to him at this time. Tantai Mieming was not an idiot. On the contrary, his mind was very delicate, so he almost thought of the reason for Su Xin's trip in a moment.
.
Su Xin shook his head and said: "I am now an important minister of the imperial court. Even if I prepare to break with the imperial court, I am afraid the imperial court will not agree.
But this time, I felt something in my heart. The imperial court suddenly summoned me to Shengjing City, and the matter might not be that simple, so I asked you to make a promise, Lord Mountain."
Tantai Mie nodded clearly. It was normal for Su Xin to do this. Don't think that feeling like this is all nonsense. In fact, the higher your martial arts cultivation, the deeper your understanding of the world. Suddenly, you have a whim.
The urge is normal.
Even ordinary people will feel a little uneasy when big events happen. This is a natural feeling, but when they reach the level of land gods like them, their feelings are more accurate.
Regardless of whether something happens or not, it’s always good to be prepared.
Tantai Mieming said in a deep voice: "Master Su, you don't have to worry. For the northwest, it is definitely better for you to rule the northwest than for the Great Zhou Dynasty to rule the northwest."
When Tantai Mieming said this, he did not mean that Su Xin was more merciful than the imperial court, but that the two sides stood in different positions.
If it were replaced by the imperial court commanding the northwest, then the northwest land would be like other roads, supervised by the imperial garrison and the six gates, and would also have to transport a large amount of resources to the imperial center.
Su Xin is more like a sect in the northwest. Although it is powerful, it will not affect the living space of Daxue Mountain and those tribes in the northwest. Therefore, based on this comparison, these warriors in the northwest are still willing to let Su Xin stay.
northwest.
Su Xin nodded, raised his hands to Tantai Mieming and said, "Since the mountain master said this, I can rest assured and say goodbye."
With that said, Su Xin left Daxue Mountain directly.
After Su Xin left, Nalan Ronghai appeared out of nowhere. He asked Tantai Mieming doubtfully: "Mountain Master, is Daxue Mountain ready to help Su Xin? What if the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty really wants to help Su Xin?"
If we break up, the entire northwest will surely fall into flames of war. Do we, Daxue Mountain, need to take sides so soon?"
Tantai Mieming shook his head and said: "Although Su Xin is the honorary elder of Daxue Mountain, I, Daxue Mountain, will not take action for him."
The confusion in Nalan Ronghai's eyes became even stronger: "In this case, Mountain Master, why did you agree to that Su Xin just now?"
Tantai Mieming showed a smile and said, "I just promised not to harm Su Xin behind his back, when did I promise to help him?
Remember, the Snowy Mountains are just the Snowy Mountains. As long as the Snowy Mountains are in the northwest lane for a day, the Snowy Mountains will always remain neutral.
Su Xin is in the northwest, so he is the honorary elder of Daxue Mountain. Naturally, Daxue Mountain will not do anything sorry to him.
But if Su Xin is taken back by the imperial court, there is no need for us to take action. If those tribes in the northwest want to resist the imperial court, just let them go. Daxue Mountain will still remain neutral."
Hearing Tantai Mieming's words, Nalan Ronghai couldn't help but shake his head. He really still needs some training. Even though the mountain master has always acted very calmly, the mountain master sees this matter.
But he understands it better than anyone else.
In fact, Su Xin naturally knew about Tantai Mieming's idea, so he didn't say much. Su Xin didn't know the attitude of the court for the time being. He just wanted to ensure that his northwest land was stable.
After talking to Tantai Mieming, Su Xin set off for Shengjing City.
At this time, in Shengjing City, the atmosphere in the palace's meeting hall was somewhat solemn.
Ji Yancheng was sitting on the dragon chair, but he was a little uneasy at this time, with an obvious look of anxiety, but he did not dare to move because the pressure on him from those present was too great.
Ji Wuling and Ji Xuansi sat under Ji Yancheng respectively. Ji Xuansi was the person in charge of this matter, and Ji Wuling was purely here to support him.
And below is the royal worship hall, and there are six more people from the military.
Zhao Wunian was the only one who came to the Royal Enshrinement Hall. He sat there with his eyes closed, looking indifferent.
In the past, Zhao Wunian received a great favor from the Ji family, which involved some secrets of the Jin Dynasty in the past. In addition, he has been worshiped by the Ji family over the years, and in his current state, he no longer competes for power so much.
Because of his thoughts, Zhao Wunian only adheres to one principle now, which is to only listen to the orders of the royal family surnamed Ji. The premise is that the royal family surnamed Ji will not cheat him and give him sufficient benefits. This is enough.
Next to him were the true martial warriors of the military, the Shenwu General Xue Zhenyue of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Shenwei General Lin Zongyue.
The other two generals, Xiang Chukuang and Pang Yuande, were not present because they had to guard the border.
There was a hint of impatience on Xue Zhenyue's face. He had always been too lazy to manage these chores. He even almost didn't bother to take care of the military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, leaving them all to Lin Zongyue. For him, except for the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rest
Nothing else is as important as his promotion to Shenqiao.
Especially at the Sky Viewing Banquet, Xue Zhenyue was crushed by Li Boyang with the strength of the Divine Bridge Realm. That incident greatly stimulated Xue Zhenyue, making him go even crazier during this period of isolation.
