Wei Guanxing couldn't help but smile, "It's not as complicated as you think. The relationship between King Nanhuang and the private salt dealer you mentioned is a senior brother. And what hurts King Nanhuang's self-esteem is that he is obviously a senior brother.
But his master passed on some of his most proud teachings to his junior brother."p
"Is this a true battle within the sect?"p
Lin Yi was stunned. He thought a lot about trade interests, but he did not think that this was purely a matter in the world of practitioners. "Then it seems that King Nanhuang is a very problematic person."p
From the time when there were dynasties in the world, any emperor who ascended the throne would enfeoff some princes. However, the emperors of the first dynasties only distributed the land that they could not use and control to their direct blood relatives. Later dynasties found that this was not enough to control the world.
stability, so in addition to enfeoffing some lands to the royal children, later emperors would also classify some particularly loyal and useful people as princes.p
In addition, some people who have made great contributions may naturally become princes.p
Among all the princes in the Southern Dynasties, Xiao Shufei's father, Xiao Hong, King of Linchuan, was undoubtedly the most powerful. He was Xiao Yan's biological brother, and when Xiao Yan raised his troops to conquer the world, although he did not always
He made great military achievements by charging into battle, but his contribution to recruiting and persuading the powerful officials of the former dynasty to side with Xiao Yan was unmatched by anyone.p
Among all the other princes, King Nanhuang of Nanhuang County is really lackluster and unattractive.p
According to Lin Yi's knowledge, Nanhuang King Xiao Jinyu was granted the title of king only because when Xiao Yan raised his army, most of the food and grass were provided by his Nanhuang County.p
Lin Yi read a lot of books. He remembered that someone joked in one of his notes that in the past seven or eight years, the weather in Nanguang County was good. Xiao Jinyu was an official in charge of the granary. He was originally worried that the granary had accumulated for many years and was about to become moldy.
He was worried about the food reserves. The court at that time was also poor enough. Some places were hit by disasters and there was not enough food to eat, and people died of hunger everywhere. But the grain officials in places like Nanhuang County were worried that if the food reserves could not be consumed and went moldy, they would lose their official positions. Even if
It's just a replacement, and we don't have enough manpower.p
When Xiao Yan first went to the army, the Liangzhou army was short of food. A large group of troops came to ask for food. This was a timely help to Xiao Jinyu.p
At such a good time, the grain reserves that were about to become moldy were exhausted, and the Liangzhou Army suddenly became the Central Army of the New Dynasty, and Xiao Yan became the emperor. Although Xiao Jinyu was originally named Xiao, his Xiao surname was not even a distant relative of the Xiao Yan clan.
, but as soon as he was crowned king, people in the world thought that he was originally from the royal family.p
I have thousands of stones and mildewed rice, which can be exchanged for prince Hu?p
Although most of the notes written by Kuangsheng Sanren at that time were ridiculing, it can also be seen that compared to others, the title of King Nanhuang was too common and was mainly based on luck.p
But other than that, Lin Yi didn't know anything about King Nanhuang.p
"Of course there are some problems."p
Wei Guanxing mocked slightly: "Both he and the private salt dealer Shen Kun you mentioned were under the name of Liu Que'er, a famous swordsman in Ba County. Originally, he and Shen Kun had similar cultivation bases. Once, they were ordered by their master to remove mountains.
However, he secretly swallowed an elixir. In fact, the elixir on the mountain bandit was originally given to him by Liu Que'er. The elimination of the bandit this time was a trial arranged by Liu Que'er. It was to see
Will both of them obey their master's instructions and bring the contents of the mountain bandit's luggage to him intact?" p
Lin Yi and Xiao Suxin couldn't help but look at each other.p
This kind of master test is a very normal behavior in some practicing places, especially among some private practitioners.p
Character is naturally more important than talent. Especially if several disciples have equal talents, it is even more important to select the one with qualified character among them to be given the true inheritance.p
Otherwise, if there is a rebel disciple, and the traitor's cultivation level is higher than that of everyone in the master's sect in the future, and the master's sect has all the means, then no one can control this sect. If you want to clean up the sect, I'm afraid that the sect will be cleared by this traitor instead.p
It's just such a trivial matter. It's not the kind of internal strife among famous families that shocked the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty. It's just some stories about casual folk cultivators. How could Wei Guanxing be so clear about it?p
"I have never met King Nanhuang, and I am not familiar with Shen Kun. In the past, I got some things from him when I was in the border army, but I have never met him."p
Of course Wei Guanxing could see the confusion of Lin Yi and others at this time, he said calmly, "But I am very familiar with Liu Que'er. In the early years when I was in the frontier army before I became the general of the 10th Squadron, I got to know Liu Que'er. We’ve been together for a while.”p
After a slight pause, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was calm, but his tone was a little chilly, "In fact, I think Liu Queer's subsequent death may also be related to King Nanhuang." p
Lin Yi suddenly frowned, "What?"
"Liu Que'er died in the third year of Tianjian." Wei Guanxing said calmly, "Liu Que'er was originally a lazy person and did not want to seek any fame. In the third year of Tianjian, he just lived in seclusion in a small town in Hechuan. But a famous and unknown cultivator happened to pass by and compete with him in sword competition. He was defeated by that person and died from the serious sword wound." p
"Is there any evidence?" Lin Yi's desire to fight against injustice suddenly arose again. In the world of practitioners, no matter what dynasty it is, killing a master is an act that is outraged by both humans and gods, unless the practitioner's master himself is a heinous person. p
"I've checked, and there's no evidence." Wei Guanxing said, "So I can only say that I suspect it's him." p
"How did you learn that Shen Kun was captured by him?" Rong Yi interrupted and asked.p
"It's quite simple. People from his caravan sent me a letter." Wei Guanxing said: "Maybe he was rushed to the hospital because of his illness. He knew that Shen Kun and I had some old feelings, but how did Shen Kun fall into his hands again? The details But I don’t know the situation.”p
"What is Shen Kun's current level of cultivation?" Lin Yi asked seriously.p
"I don't know." Wei Guanxing also answered seriously: "It shouldn't be much worse than me. If Liu Que'er didn't die, his cultivation level should be higher than mine. Shen Kun's cultivation level should be much lower than mine back then, but I don't know now. , after all, this private salt dealer has more ways to make money than I do." p
"Then if he is in the state of spiritual consciousness like you, and the people of King Nanhuang can capture him, wouldn't he also need spiritual consciousness?" Xiao Suxin frowned, feeling as if he had been on a pirate ship.p
"To deal with one Divine Mind Realm, it is only possible to use two Divine Mind Realms at most. King Nanhuang is not a particularly powerful dignitary. It is not easy to have one or two Divine Mind Realm masters." Wei Guanxing said: "In my opinion, if Shen Kun can really reach the Divine Sense Realm. Most likely, he is just a cultivator of the Divine Sense Realm under the throne of Nanhuang who brings some Heaven-bearing Realm." p
"You don't even know your opponent's cultivation level, it's too risky." Xiao Suxin took a deep breath and said.p
"So I say that at most there are two Divine Minds. With my control, plus Lin Yi and your methods, it is possible for the two Divine Minds to defeat me." Wei Guanxing remained calm, looked at her seriously and said: "
If you stay in the army for a long time, you will understand that in any war, it is impossible to completely predict the enemy's opportunities and fully understand the enemy's forces. In most wars, it is impossible to know the opponent's position before the fight begins.
What kind of practitioners are hidden? All any general can do is to make the greatest estimate and add some risks."p
