The sacred capital of the Sui Dynasty. Imperial Prefecture. Han Yan sat in front of the short table with the chessboard, but his eyes were not on the chessboard, but looked at the teacher sitting opposite, and said slowly: "Just the monks of Bodhi Temple entering the Sui Dynasty involved Lu Sishou and Zhan Xixi. Qin's certain thoughts, and now something has happened in Naihe Hai, it is hard to say that it has nothing to do with Xi Tan." The national master Cao Chonglin looked at the chessboard, his expression was a little serious, after all, not long after the soul phantom left Panmen, someone was watching before he left. What did he do in the end? It is a bit arbitrary to just use this to indicate that Xi Tan was responsible. However, the occurrence of this matter should not be underestimated.
"Sacrifice to the worthy is very important to the Sui Kingdom. Your Majesty does not agree to allow the younger generation to go to Panmen, so it can only be the older generation."
"Chu Chunqiu has already set off. He also asked the commander of the Xiaoguo Army to personally investigate the cause of the chaos in Naihe Hai. The two of them were in the dark and in the dark. Kutan, the sword god, and He Fushe who was staying at Panmen were there to solve this problem. Things are not a problem.”
"Because the sea will not come ashore easily. If it really makes a big fuss, let alone me, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army can entangle the demon king. If I go again, he will definitely die."
"It's just that without him to suppress Naihe Hai, the world will be in chaos. After all, besides Naihe Hai, there is a more dangerous place. The remaining demons of the old time who have been sealed off from the Candle God Battle. If the world is in chaos, they will be waiting for an opportunity to move. , take advantage of the opportunity to break the ground." Cao Chonglin was silent for a moment and said: "The problem with Naihe Hai is not just Naihe Hai. Sui and Qin are separated, and only the strongest people can communicate with each other. It is impossible to completely destroy Xi Tan. It is difficult for the strongest people to When it comes to deciding the winner, the strength at the bottom is the key.”
"We are blocked by the Naihe Sea, which is what hinders the struggle between Sui and Qin. But without Naihe Hai, Sui and Qin will be in ruins." Han Yan opened his eyes slightly. It was obviously the first time he knew about this matter. The existence of Naihe Hai is very important to It was easy to understand what Sui Tan meant, but I didn't expect that there was a deeper problem.
The Battle of the Candle God was a defeat for both sides, and it is difficult to tell who won and who lost, because the Candle God was gone and the immortals were gone, but the human monks and monsters were still there. The Battle of Mozhang was a complete victory, but the countries paid extremely heavy losses. price.
The monsters that can be called the remaining monsters during the Candle God War are naturally not comparable to the monsters that have appeared now. Because the big monsters will multiply, the remaining monsters are the first monsters to come to the world. Any one of them may be a monster. The pinnacle of power in the world.
Only immortals can seal them. Cao Chonglin lived for a long time, long enough to witness certain scenes at the end of the Battle of Candle God.
But since he did not watch the final battle of the Candle God battle, he could only guess that a group of immortals joined forces to fight against the Candle God. The result was that the entire army was wiped out. Even if there were a few immortals still alive at that time, they were unable to kill all the remaining monsters. They can only be sealed.
Maybe the living immortals just sealed those monsters and exhausted everything, so that no immortals can be found in this world.
There are facts that prove that immortals still exist, but their recovery takes time. The so-called search for immortals is just a lucky idea, hoping to find more immortals.
On the surface, no one has lived longer than Cao Chonglin, so it stands to reason that Cao Chonglin knows more than others.
Han Yan's shock was hard to calm down. He didn't know how many people knew about the remaining monsters, but he thought it was very few.
Unless Xitan has the strength to destroy Naihe Hai and the Sui Kingdom in one fell swoop, he will indeed not do anything to cause chaos in Naihe Hai. If someone in Xitan knows about the remaining demons, they will be even less likely to dig their own graves.
Han Yan frowned and said, "If it has nothing to do with Xi Tan, who did it?" Cao Chonglin said, "It will be clear when the commander of the Xiaoguo Army finds out." He looked at Han Yan, who had gradually regained his composure and thought about the problem again. , showing a satisfied smile, Cao Chonglin was more willing to cultivate Han Yan than the talented He Fushe.
So he said something that Han Yan didn't need to know at the moment. Having more dangerous enemies will give Han Yan greater motivation.
Cao Chonglin was actually a little worried because He Fushe's world-famous battle at Panmen would cause Han Yan to have mental problems. Now it seemed that Han Yan was better than he thought.
...Large objects at the peak of the Bathing Snow Realm and above can cross several realms in a short time without resorting to Naihe Road. Therefore, Chu Chunqiu arrived at Panmen at the ugly moment.
The demon-suppressing envoys from the Qingxuan Department are still on the way. They can cross the distance at the maximum limit of the magic weapon. Although it cannot be compared with the speed of Naihe Lu, because the Sui Kingdom is really big, the monks at the peak of the Dongming Realm can cross hundreds of miles in an instant, and their cultivation is more advanced. , It is easy to travel a thousand miles in one step, and it is even more common for monks in the Snow Bathing Realm to travel thousands of miles in an instant.
But the distance from Shendu to Panmen took half an hour even for Chu Chunqiu at his fastest speed. After all, the territory of the Sui Kingdom once belonged to dozens or even hundreds of dynasties.
The Naihe Sea is larger than Sui Qin, so even the most powerful creatures in the Snow Bathing Realm need to rely on the Naihe Bridge.
When Chu Chunqiu arrived at Panmen, Sword God, Cheng Yan and Chang Jijiu, who were already at Kutan, were already there. It was a tragic scene in front of the barrier.
It was not because the battle had begun, but because of the Qi line left by He Langjiang that hundreds of monsters died in front of the barrier.
Except for the first few big monsters from the Bathing Snow Realm, the rest were all monsters from the Cave Underworld Realm. The big monsters wanted to break through the barriers with numbers and did not risk their lives directly.
Chu Chunqiu may not be able to defeat the Sword God, but the Sword God is the senior minister of the Qingxuan Department and has no real power. On the surface, his status is equal to that of the leader, but in fact, Chu Chunqiu's position is higher than that of the Sword God.
His eyes were on Cheng Yan.
"The sword holder...the number one person in Zha Xue who is alongside the Sword God, I am surprised that you are here to help." Cheng Yan looked at Chu Chunqiu's fair face and said with a slight hint of nausea: "I once heard about something. The second head of the Qingxuan Agency at that time should actually be regarded as the first. Because the National Master established the Qingxuan Agency, the first head of the Qingxuan Agency was tacitly recognized as the National Master."
"In short, when the previous chief minister resigned, the third chief minister did not fall directly on your head. It was you who used the banner of national master to obtain this position by some means."
"Xu Xingling, who was the most promising successor at the time, seemed to have had a fight with you before you found a reason to send him out. It seemed that you were injured. You used to have a dark complexion, but now you have become so fair. , I'm curious where you were injured?" Cheng Yan became very angry at the end.
He even deliberately looked at Chu Chunqiu somewhere with a sarcastic expression. Chu Chunqiu's fair face turned dark immediately.
"I won't bother you, Your Majesty the Sword Holder, to care about where I am injured." Although everyone had their own ideas when the third chief of the Qingxuan Department took over, to this day, only Cheng Yan spoke about this matter face to face. , Chu Chunqiu didn't have any intention to explain, but he just became more and more dissatisfied with Cheng Yan.
The Sword God interrupted them and said: "What happened in Naihe Hai happened suddenly. Although the monsters bombarded the barrier like crazy, they are still insignificant compared to the power of the entire Naihe Hai. It is easy to suppress them. The key is to figure out what is going on. Chu Chunqiu said: "The one from the Xiaoguo Army has already taken action. He should be here faster than me." The Sword God looked calm, but felt a little surprised in his heart. He said, "He was personally invited by His Majesty to take charge of the Xiaoguo Army. It seems that he has promised something. His Majesty often said that Commander Xiaoguo is one of the biggest reasons why gods can be as solid as rocks. Therefore, the world knows how powerful Commander Xiaoguo is. However, I have never met him. I didn’t expect His Majesty to let him. He came to Panmen." Cheng Yan only heard of this person's name but never saw him. He used to sneer at him, but the mountain master once said,
"There is no doubt about the strength of Commander Xiaoguo. Although few people know his origin, the fact that the emperor can personally ask him to come out to take charge of the Xiaoguo Army means that there is a national teacher who has proven his ability. I have the honor to meet him, and I am convinced that he is better than I'm stronger." Since then, Cheng Yan has never underestimated the commander of the Xiaoguo Army. After all, in Cheng Yan's heart, the only person in the entire Sui Dynasty who could defeat the mountain master was the national master.
He really wanted to see this leader of the Xiaoguo Army who was called by the mountain owner to be stronger. But if Commander Xiaoguo came to Panmen earlier than Chu Chunqiu, he didn't notice it at all, which would have proved Commander Xiaoguo's ability.
Cheng Yan looked at Nai Hehai, trying to find this person, but to no avail.
"What's going on with He Langjiang?" The Sword God glanced at the camp. With their identities, they naturally knew the real existence of He Fushe, and also understood that the Qi line in front of the barrier was caused by He Langjiang, but at this moment, he was in the camp. He was sleeping soundly inside, which inevitably made him look weird.
Chu Chunqiu, who stayed in the capital of the gods, knew He Langjiang better than both the Sword God and Cheng Yan, but Chu Chunqiu actually didn't like him very much, because He Langjiang had no rules and relied on his talent to do whatever he wanted, but His Majesty He was very compromising with him. The so-called punishment for certain things was just superficial.
Sending He Langjiang to Panmen was the biggest punishment His Majesty had given him. It was obvious that He Langjiang was still unruly from the beginning to the end and put aside the matter of Naihe Hai. Now that Chu Chunqiu had arrived at Panmen, He Langjiang had already arrived at Panmen. General Lang didn't show his face, which made him very angry.
Chu Chunqiu signaled slightly, and the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army next to him hesitated. Of course, the Xiaoguo Army did not need to obey the instructions of the Qingxuan Department, but they also knew that General He Lang should not sleep in the camp at this time, and they finally got into the camp. , and took He Langjiang out.
Chang Jiujiu, who was talking to Pei Jieran from a distance, glanced sideways, ignored him, and continued to ask, "Where is Jiang Wang?" Pei Jieran answered truthfully about Jiang Wang's situation.
Chang Jijiu glanced at Youxuan next to him and said, "Then let him have a good rest." He could guess that the reason why Jiang Wang became extremely weak might have something to do with Ba Shou.
Although he was very curious about what Ba Shou could do in Panmen since he was far away in Yinxiang City, Jiang Wang was indeed seriously injured, so he underestimated Ba Shou.
The weak-headed Jiang Wang was noticed by the imperial master, so he would naturally be noticed by the Sui Emperor. Chang Jiujiu was quite looking forward to what kind of revelations would come out of his identity as a descendant of the Qi royal family.
