"Guan Long congratulates his family, Guan Long congratulates Ba Yue" Tian Du Guang was slightly startled.
Bai Yuelu nodded, and suddenly felt that her past life was a bit ridiculous. She couldn't help but shook her head and said, "The conditions for becoming Yuan Yan's shadow are very harsh. The consequences of failure in some trials are death. In numbers big and small,
Among the ten trials, I was on the verge of death more than a dozen times. Before, I also thought that in addition to practicing faster than ordinary people, I was able to survive from desperate situations many times. It did not mean that I was much better than everyone else back then.
, but because of good luck. But now it seems that a person cannot be lucky forever. If all this survival in desperate situations is due to the arrangements of the Northern Wei royal family, it just allows me to survive in the cruelest possible environment.
If you have the ability, then all the arrangements cannot be foolproof. One time I was able to survive, but it was because of the Guanlong He family."
Zhen Fuxing's face gradually became serious.
The Guanlong He clan was also one of the important clans in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It also controlled more than 100,000 troops in the Sizhou area. However, compared to other important clans in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Guanlong He clan lacked the background, and its strength was also inferior to that of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying and others.
Incomparable.
Such a clan neither controls important frontier troops nor occupies some vital chokepoints. If it weren't for General Guanlong He Batayue's extraordinary cultivation and being one of the famous genius practitioners in the Northern Wei Dynasty, even if he had a lot of military power,
It’s impossible to get on the stage of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In fact, in any dynasty, the criterion for judging whether any powerful person has sufficient status in the dynasty is whether this powerful person has enough ability to compete with other powerful people and whether he can control some deterrent power if he rebels.
In the past, when the Guanlong He family was mentioned, these surviving members of the Northern Wei Dynasty would have looked down upon them.
Because even in Zhen Fuxing's eyes, the Guanlong He family did not control anything that was indispensable to the Northern Wei Dynasty. If such a clan wanted to rebel, it would be enough to bring in someone like Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan to put an end to the chaos.
But when she heard Bai Yuelu mentioning the Guanlong He family, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that something was indeed wrong.
At that time, there was a rebellion in the five towns in the north. Some of the most powerful clans in the north rebelled because they opposed moving the capital to Luoyang. After they were bloody suppressed, the Guanlong He family gained huge benefits from it.
The Guanlong He clan was even more insignificant at that time, but it later became one of the important clans in the Northern Wei Dynasty because the most important copper mine in the Northern Wei Dynasty is now in the territory of the Guanlong He clan and is under the jurisdiction of the Guanlong He clan.
That copper mine is called the Taichu Red Gold Mine. In the entire Northern Wei Dynasty, only the red copper produced in this copper mine naturally contains some unique fine gold, which can be directly used on the True Essence Heavy Armor.
It can be said that the Northern Wei Dynasty
After the capital was moved to Luoyang, the Northern Wei army expanded massively, and more than half of the Zhenyuan Heavy Armor produced later had raw materials for many components coming from this copper mine.
But Zhen Fuxing also remembered clearly that the copper mine was on the edge of the He family's territory. After it was discovered, the Gao family in the north had already decided to take it into its possession. At that time, the Gao family's territory was also close to the copper mine.
It borders the mines, and with the strength of the Gao family back then, it was impossible for the He family to fight against it.
At that time, the Gao clan not only owned a large amount of copper ore and iron ore, but also owned several of the most important smelting workshops in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was the backbone of the rebellion in the five towns in the north. Later, these clan clans were bloody suppressed by the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Mo Zong.
, those few territories close to the He family were taken over by the He family smoothly.
The He family recruited a large number of laborers, excavated them quickly, and within a few years, transported a large amount of high-quality red copper to workshops around Luoyang, regardless of their own interests. In this way, the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty naturally felt that the He family was loyal and capable.
It just sprung up quickly.
Moreover, although these clans in the north were pacified, the Northern Wei royal family also wanted to cultivate local clans to control the surviving families and those northern dignitaries who still had resentments. Therefore, they deliberately authorized the Guanlong He clan and the Maling Wushi clan to recruit a large number of troops, not only allocating a large amount of ordnance.
equipment, and a large amount of military supplies are provided every year.
Just based on the clans that benefited from the Northern Rebellion that year, the Guanlong He family gained the most benefit during the period when the capital was moved to quell the rebellion in the Northern Wei Dynasty, followed by the Maling Wushi family. With the current He family and
With the combined military strength of the Wushi, if there was another rebellion in the five towns in the north, there would be no need to mobilize the border troops or the forbidden troops in Luoyang. The troops of the He and Wushi could easily quell the rebellion.
"One of our trials was to capture a felon named Tie Liu Wang from passing traders in the Changzhi area. This felon specializes in the prohibited heavy armor business. He secretly obtained raw materials from workshops and secretly bought or sold them.
Robbery and theft of manufacturing blueprints, ranging from smuggling of heavy armor accessories to large-scale violations of armor. During the more than ten years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, heavy armor information and at least half of the complete heavy armor were smuggled out, and there were even murders and robberies in many warehouses.
It has something to do with this person." Bai Yuelu continued slowly and unhurriedly, "When we arrested this person, he was actually at the end of his rope. He used to be very powerful, and he had many powerful ministers around him, as well as some troops and bandits.
They all colluded, but after the capital was moved to Luoyang, all the bandits were suppressed, the generals of the army were reorganized, and some powerful practitioners around him were killed by the masters in the palace. According to the exact news, King Tieliu
There was only one Chengtian-level worshiper around that time, but before we had discovered his traces and were about to take action in a market town, someone deliberately lured me away. I thought that person was an important figure under King Tieliu at the time.
I chased after him relentlessly, but that person’s cultivation level was actually much higher than mine.
, he was probably afraid that I would chase him too far and cause more trouble, so he talked to me for a few words in a flash, meaning that the information was wrong, and the target of King Tieliu's transaction was one of the three major bandits of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Qi Shenfeng, Qi Shenfeng and the masters under him are all here. If we want to kill King Tieliu, even the hidden palace masters cannot be the opponent of Qi Shenfeng and the others. His words flickered.
, told me that I only knew about this accidentally, and did not want the person who arranged our trial to know. He also hoped that I would accept his kindness, and for the sake of him saving my life, not to disclose the fact that he led me away.
I was doubtful at the time, but I had just returned and the person who was doing the trial had already taken action. Just as the person said, there was indeed an error in the information. King Tieliu fled without telling anyone. No one who took action at that time survived."
"So the person who secretly reminded you, you later found out, is from the Guanlong He clan." When Tian Duguang heard this, he suddenly understood. She frowned and asked Bai Yuelu, but she still said
He kept muttering in a low voice, not knowing what he was planning.
"In the next few years, I have become Yuan Yan's shadow. After I began to control many hidden people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I happened to see a practitioner take action. The practitioner's movement and martial arts aura were the same as those of that year.
The person who led me away was very similar. Later I found out that the practitioner was a practitioner of Shenwu Sect. It took me more than half a year to find out that the person who led me away must be from Shenwuzong.
He Guishan, He Guishan is He Batayue's cousin. Although he has been practicing in the Shenwuzong, he is actually involved in many of the confidential events of the He family."
Bai Yuelu looked at Zhen Fuxing and said, "I was suspicious back then, but the other party had a life-saving grace for me. I just regarded it as a coincidence and didn't want to go into details. But now that I think about it, even the Maling Wushi, after becoming an important family member,
He also constantly wanted to send his children to Luoyang in order to gain a certain status in the court of Luoyang, but the He family acted extremely low-key and always stayed in a corner. This approach of not wanting to go further was completely different from the beginning.
As for other families, but secretly, it is not that simple just for He Guishan to intervene secretly."
"Your trial back then was supposed to be an extremely confidential matter. Even if the He family found out that King Tieliu's transaction partner was Qi Shenfeng, how would he know that the arrest of King Tieliu was related to your trial?
Why would I lure you away specifically?" Zhen Fuxing's mood was a little unstable, and his hands were shaking slightly, "And since you said that, you must have checked that it was impossible for the He family to participate in the palace's trial for you back then. No.
Maybe he was one of your secret guards back then."
"He Guishan has no connection with the Northern Wei royal family. I can confirm that he was not sent by the Northern Wei royal family when he appeared." Bai Yuelu nodded.
