"Why is this so?"
Zhao Zhenyi frowned.
"This should be related to the grievance between the sect leader and Zhou Jingshen, the current military minister of the imperial court."
He Yun said solemnly, "When the sect leader was in the world, he seemed to have had a conflict with Zhou Jingshen. I don't know what the specific conflict was, but I know that Zhou Jingshen was slapped three times by the sect leader. This naturally had a negative impact on Zhou Jingshen." It is said to be a great shame and humiliation, but twenty years later, Zhou Jingshen has transformed into the Minister of the Ministry of War of the imperial court, and now he is the person in charge of the preparation of the Longjun Hall of the imperial court, so of course he must wait for an opportunity to retaliate."
"So that's it. It's dangerous inside that door."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately condensed his expression. He knew that this was no less than a disaster for the Qingyun Sect!
"It is indeed very dangerous. Other sects only transferred twenty or thirty elites, but my Qingyun Sect was transferred fifty at once. This reduction in strength is too severe."
He Yundao.
"more than."
Zhao Zhen shook his head, "People who have been transferred from other sects may come back alive from the battlefield, but those who have been transferred from my Qingyun sect may not come back."
As soon as these words came out, He Yun raised his eyebrows, "What you said is the same as the worries of the sect master and deputy sect master, but I don't think there is any need to worry so much. Although Zhou Jingshen is responsible for the construction of Longjun Hall, my father He Changkong He is also a military general of the imperial court and has guarded Fengxue City for many years. He will not allow Zhou Jingshen to cause trouble there."
"Oh? Is your father a military general of the imperial court?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, but his eyes showed surprise.
In fact, he had long realized that He Yun's identity was not simple. Not to mention anything else, just that He Yun had a cave of his own in the martial arts dojo, which was not a treatment that ordinary disciples could have.
Coupled with the subsequent attitude of the elite disciples and elders towards her, including the last time Zhao Zhen saw a group of young people wearing soft clothes and armor surrounding her, he naturally knew that He Yun must have a good background.
"I asked how Senior Sister He was able to produce a weapon like the Dragon Shield last time. It turns out that Senior Sister He is the daughter of the current general."
Zhao Zhen nodded at this time and said with a flash of his eyes, "However, Senior Sister He still thinks of things too simply."
"Really? Why do you say that?" He Yun frowned.
"The Minister of the Ministry of War is the first-rank official of the imperial court and is in charge of all military and political affairs of the dynasty. The General of Soldiers and Horses is the first-rank official. Although his power is not small, he will be controlled by the Minister of the Ministry of War. In other words, your father cannot control Zhou Jingshen. Zhou Jingshen can take care of your father."
Zhao Zhendao, "The other one is that Zhou Jingshen is the organizer of Longjun Hall. Both the government and the public know that Longjun Hall was said to be established by the imperial court, but in fact it was established at the request of Jinglong Xianzong. In other words, Zhou Jingshen On the surface, he is from the imperial court, but in fact he is a representative of the Jinglong Immortal Sect. His official position is one level higher than that of your father. Now he still has such a representative status, why should your father compete with him? "
As soon as these words came out, He Yun's expression froze. She really didn't expect this.
But soon she said firmly, "Even so, my father will not let him act arbitrarily. After all, my father is a general. It is not a problem for him to protect us Qingyun Sect disciples, and my father and the sect leader are still sworn brothers. So he will definitely not sit idly by."
"What? General He and the sect leader are still sworn brothers? The situation is even worse."
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again. This made He Yun's heart skip a beat and he looked at Zhao Zhen.
"What do you mean?"
"Alas...Senior sister, you are too naive."
Looking at He Yun's eyes, Zhao Zhen said helplessly, "Who is Zhou Jingshen? He can become the Minister of War in the imperial court, and can also become the representative of Jinglong Xianzong in the imperial court. Do you think he is a man of rules? ? After all, one general's success will make all his bones dry, let alone Zhou Jingshen who can become the Minister of War above the generals. Although I have never met him, I know that people of this status either don't do things, or they do it well. It was very thorough.”
"You...you mean he will attack my father?"
He Yun's face turned pale.
"Not necessarily, but if it were me in his place, I would."
A cold light flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, "Zhou Jingshen himself has conflicts with our Qingyun Sect, and now he has taken action against the Qingyun Sect, so how could he be merciful? It would be okay if General He was not the sworn brother of the sect leader, as long as Be obedient and nothing will happen to him, but General He is the sworn brother of the sect leader, so how could he let your father go? In my estimation, he is dealing with the Qingyun Sect openly this time, but he is also dealing with your father secretly , I want to uproot your father and the Qingyun Sect together. One can avenge the past, and the other can use this to completely control all the military and political affairs of the Shenlong Dynasty, and dominate the government from now on."
"this…"
He Yun suddenly trembled, but she quickly shook her head, "No... no, even if he had this idea, the court would not just watch him monopolize power..."
"The imperial court is nothing in his eyes."
Zhao Zhen said again, "You yourself said that the imperial court is a puppet on the Jinglong Immortal Sect. As a representative of the Jinglong Immortal Sect, will he care about the imperial court? How dare the imperial court do anything to him?"
As soon as these words came out, He Yun was speechless. He just turned pale and looked at Zhao Zhen blankly.
Zhao Zhen also looked unhappy. He originally thought that Qingyun Sect was his pure land of practice, but now he realized that Qingyun Sect was in such a big crisis, which meant that his pure land of practice was almost gone.
Especially when he thought about how Bai Jing, the sect master and others had trained him, he knew that he couldn't simply walk away. Not to mention that the act itself was shameless, but once the thought arose, he felt like he was losing his sword. His mind began to feel unsteady. After all, the way of swordsmanship is all about moving forward without any regrets, and more importantly, a clear conscience.
"Then...what should we do..."
He Yun was really panicked at this time and instinctively looked at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen's eyes flickered, but in the end he shook his head, "What to do? I don't know what to do. This is a general trend, and it is a catastrophe. Conspiracies and tricks will have no effect at this time."
thump!
Hearing this, He Yun's body fell to the ground, and his mind was obviously broken.
Zhao Zhen looked silent and just thought silently.
After a moment, Zhao Zhen said, "You just said you wanted to ask me for help. Could it be that you want me to enter the Longjun Hall?"
"…yes."
He Yun came back to his senses, murmured and nodded.
"There's nothing I can do to help."
Zhao Zhen simply shook his head, "This is beyond my ability, I'm sorry."
With that said, Zhao Zhen turned around and left the cave.
As he said, it's not that he doesn't want to help, but that he can't help it.
What is he now? He is just an elite disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Although he is extremely talented and has reached the second level of martial arts at the age of only fourteen, in the end he is just a junior. How can he be like a hero like Zhou Jingshen who has lived for decades? fight?
The only thing he can do now is to protect himself wisely and survive in the cracks, rather than trying to change the situation without overestimating his capabilities.
Looking at Zhao Zhen's back, He Yun, who was slumped on the ground, also trembled suddenly.
"No...no! I have to let him find a way!"
"If he can see so far, then he must have a solution!"
As thoughts flashed through his mind, He Yun suddenly stood up and chased Zhao Zhen outside.
She knew that she was being disrespectful by doing this, but thinking about her father's tired figure standing at the top of the snowy city and the dangerous situation that would follow, she could only regard Zhao Zhen as a life-saving straw.
At the same time, outside the highest cave in Qingyun Cliff.
Many elite disciples were gathered here at this moment, looking at the closed door of the cave in awe.
"Senior Brother Xuanbing, Junior Brother Jiang Tianya will be released from seclusion soon."
An elite disciple looked at the door nervously and said to the elite disciple's current No. 1 Xuan Weapon.
"Watch what you call me."
Xuan Bing said calmly, "Jiang Tianya is no longer a junior brother. Once he comes out of seclusion, he will definitely become the new number one among the elites. Even I will call him Senior Brother Jiang, let alone you?"
As soon as these words came out, the elite disciple was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he quickly lowered his head, "Yes, Senior Brother Xuan, Junior Brother realizes his mistake."
"And you."
Xuan Bing turned his gaze and glanced at the elite disciples around him, "You all should be careful not to make such lowly mistakes, otherwise Senior Brother Jiang will punish you, and I can't do anything about it."
"yes!"
"clear!"
Many elite disciples responded one after another, looking at the gate of the cave with even more awe.
They all know that Jiang Tianya is a legendary name, and he is also the strongest genius of the Qingyun Sect in the past hundred years.
This person joined the Qingyun Sect at the age of eight. It only took him three years to reach the martial spirit realm, and then another three years to reach the third level of martial arts peak.
Since the year before last, he had announced that he would be in retreat, and announced that the retreat would last for two years. After two years, he would break through the fifth level of martial arts and become the first among elites.
Now, two years have passed, and today is the day he comes out of isolation!
Naturally, all the elite disciples came spontaneously to wait for him to leave seclusion.
Of course, they also want to see if Jiang Tianya can break through the fifth level.
Rumble…
When the moon was in the sky and the stars shone on the gate of the cave, a heavy sound suddenly sounded.
I saw the door of the cave opened suddenly!
call!
And the moment the door opened, a whirlwind suddenly swept out from the cave door. The next moment, countless icicles were flying around Tianqing Cliff, like flying snow!
"What a strong ice attribute energy! It's August now! It's midsummer!"
"The snow is flying in August, and the energy shakes the void! This...this is already a display of the ninth level of martial arts! Has Senior Brother Jiang broken through to the ninth level of martial arts?"
Exclamations came out one after another. At this moment, many elites were stunned, their expressions were full of shock, and even Xuan Bing's eyes suddenly became serious.
Tread...
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a handsome young man wearing a dark blue gown and a sword hanging from his waist walked out of it.
The moment they saw the young man's face, all the elites were shocked, and they all bent down at the same time, cupping their fists and saluting.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Jiang for coming out of seclusion!"
The words were spoken in unison, and even Xuan Bing lowered his head and saluted like all the disciples.
