Zhao Zhen, who was in this black torrent, looked at this scene and felt an uncontrollable emotion in his heart.
Feeling at my own insignificance and feeling at the vastness of the world.
"Zhao Zhen, in three days, we will arrive at Snow Wind City."
In the center of the torrent, He Changkong faced Zhao Zhendao.
"Um."
Zhao Zhen nodded. He knew that they had been marching for twelve days.
For twelve days, the army will move forward two thousand miles every day, which is twenty-four thousand miles.
It would take three days of driving to reach Fengxue City, which meant that Fengxue City was 30,000 miles away from Longjing.
"You have been marching with me these days, what do you think?"
He Changkong said again.
"Of course there is."
Zhao Zhen listened to He Changkong's question and nodded, "That means you understand the importance of Snow Wind City."
"How to say?"
"A journey of thirty thousand miles is neither far nor close."
Zhao Zhen's eyes were solemn, "But the problem is that these 30,000 miles are all plains, which means that once Fengxue City is breached, the enemy army can march straight into Longjing, and the people in the city along the way will be devastated."
Hearing this, He Changkong showed a look of relief on his face, nodded and said, "It's good that you can think of the people of Li at the first time. From this point of view, eldest brother and master did not choose the wrong person."
Zhao Zhen was about to shake his head when he heard this, but He Changkong raised his hand, "No need to be modest, this is the fact, because I have traveled with many imperial officials, and when I asked them this question, they didn't flatter me. , just sighing at the majesty of the army, but no one thought about the common people."
Zhao Zhen fell silent for a moment.
"Haha, do you think they really didn't think of this?"
He Changkong smiled.
"of course not."
Zhao Zhen shook his head, "They just don't care."
"Yeah, they don't care."
He Changkong showed a sarcastic sneer, "In their eyes, power and money are more important than anything else. What do the people mean? They are just pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep. If a lot of them die, they will raise a lot more."
Zhao Zhen also tightened his grip on the reins after hearing this.
He knew that this was the truth.
Not to mention the imperial court, even in a small city like Cangzhou City, people from several major families did not care about the lives of the people. What about the high officials of the imperial court?
"Zhao Zhen, do you know the true status of our Shenlong Dynasty in Zhenwu Continent?"
He Changkong changed the topic and said again.
Zhao Zhen was stunned, he really didn't know this, so he naturally shook his head, "I don't know."
"Ant."
He Changkong faintly uttered two words, which made Zhao Zhen's pupils shrink.
"Yes, it's an ant."
He Changkong raised his head and looked at the sky, "Zhenwu Continent is boundless. No one has ever known how big Zhenwu Continent is, but what is known is that Zhenwu Continent has dozens of landmasses."
"And each of these dozens of continental plates has dozens of dynasties and empires. Our Shenlong Dynasty is just the Dragon Continent plate among these dozens of continental plates. At the same time, between the Dragon Continent plate Among them, there are five star-level dynasties alone, and below the star-level dynasties, there are ten mortal-level dynasties. Our Shenlong Dynasty is just one of these ten mortal-level dynasties, and even among these ten mortal-level dynasties Among them, they are all relatively weak."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen's eyes changed.
This was the first time he heard about the dozens of continental plates in Zhenwu Continent, and it was also the first time he learned that the Shenlong Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of millions, was actually just a weak dynasty among these dozens of plates.
So how big is this continent? How many strong men are there?
This made him finally understand why He Changkong used ants to describe the Dragon Dynasty.
According to the size of Zhenwu Continent, the Shenlong Dynasty is really just an ant. Even calling it an ant is a compliment, just a dust.
"The ten mortal dynasties all submitted to the five star dynasties. Our Shenlong Dynasty and our northern neighbor Tianyun Dynasty submitted to the sacred dynasty among the five star dynasties."
He Changkong continued, "The Hanxue Dynasty and the Desert Dynasty to our south are subordinate to the Iron-Blooded Dynasty among the five star dynasties. The one who has been attacking us is the Hanxue Dynasty."
"Where is the Immortal Sect?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed, "As far as I know, the Shenlong Dynasty is just a puppet of the Jinglong Immortal Sect. What is the status of the Immortal Sect on the continental plate?"
"The Immortal Sect has a rather special status. In name, it is the leader of the Dragon Continent Realm, but in fact, the Immortal Sect only has certain control over the mortal-level dynasties, and its control over the star-level dynasties is very weak."
He Changkong thought for a while and said, "If I have to describe the relationship between the Xianzong and the Star Dynasty, it should be that they are monarch and minister on the surface, but secretly it is a relationship of mutual restraint and utilization, because the strength of the Star Dynasty is already very strong. There are many geniuses, and other continental sectors also have leadership organizations no less powerful than the Immortal Sect.”
"I see."
Zhao Zhen understood, "In other words, the Xianzong seems to be superior in the Dragon Continent, but in fact it is not stable inside, and the Xianzong is nothing on the mainland, because there are many organizations similar to the Xianzong. , much stronger than the Immortal Sect.”
"Yes, so the Immortal Sect is just a bigger ant on the mainland."
He Changkong glanced at Zhao Zhen appreciatively, seemingly satisfied with Zhao Zhen's insight.
"It seems that the Immortal Sect's intention is not for the mortal dynasties below to conquer each other."
Zhao Zhen said again.
"Of course not. As the leader of the Dragon Continent Realm, the Immortal Sect certainly hopes that the Dragon Continent Realm will be stable. Only when the Dragon Continent Realm is stable can the Immortal Sect obtain more resources and the Immortal Sect can develop faster."
He Changkong nodded, "But the problem is that the five star dynasties all have ambitions. I have said before that the ten ordinary dynasties are subordinate to the five star dynasties. That means that each star dynasty has two ministers. It belongs to the dynasty, and whoever has one more vassal dynasty will have a lot more resources. At the same time, the ten mortal dynasties also have their own ambitions, because every mortal dynasty also wants to annex other mortal dynasties, thus becoming The new star dynasty.”
Zhao Zhen's eyes also changed when he heard this, and finally he shook his head and said, "It seems that human desire is the root of war."
"Yes, the human heart is endless and its desires are endless. This is the source of all chaos."
He Changkong also expressed emotion, "But the good thing is that we still have a basic external consensus, and that is the Continental Contest."
"Continental Battle Conference?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed.
"Yes, this conference is a martial arts competition jointly organized by the Dragon Continent, Xuan Continent, Tian Continent and other continents. In this conference, each continent will send out the best martial arts within it. Genius, let’s have a competition.”
He Changkong said, "The purpose of this competition is to divide the spiritual energy resources of each continent. The continent with the highest ranking will get the most spiritual energy resources. After that, the share of the spiritual energy of the world will be distributed according to the tiers. The continent with the lowest ranking will get the most spiritual energy resources. , the share obtained will naturally be the least.”
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded the next moment, "I see. This is why each continent can still maintain general stability, because it can plunder the resources of other continents through other methods."
"Yes, otherwise, all the continents would have turned into a mess." He Changkong nodded, "And this is actually one of the reasons why the Qingyun Sect was destroyed, because the Continental Contest will start in three years. All continents are frantically selecting young geniuses, and the Jinglong Immortal Sect will naturally do the same. As far as I know, many sects in the Tianyun Dynasty have been destroyed, and some geniuses have been directly absorbed by the Immortal Sect. .”
Zhao Zhen completely understood at this moment.
No wonder Xianzong agreed to Yun Tianlong's establishment of the Dragon Army Hall. To put it bluntly, Yun Tianlong's ambition was just one of the reasons. More importantly, it was to gather talents to prepare for the subsequent continental competition!
"The conference is the key point."
He Changkong said again, "The Immortal Sect focuses on the conference because it can bring resource profits to the Immortal Sect. The Master Yun naturally also focuses on the conference, because only by getting a good ranking in the conference, can he He truly inherited the position of the leader of the Jinglong Immortal Sect, and Zhou Jingshen saw this, so he took the initiative to surrender to Master Yun, and then used the power of Master Yun to deal with Qingyun Sect and me."
"And he himself can also take this opportunity to gain greater power and destroy the Qingyun Sect. This is because he was ashamed of Brother Wang slapping him back then, and secondly, it is also an important part of dealing with me."
He Changkong sneered, "As long as he deals with me, almost all the Shenlong Dynasty's army will be under his control. When the time comes, he can use Yuntianlong's power to intimidate the civil servants of the DPRK. It's not impossible for him to rebel and become the emperor, and this pair of immortals It doesn’t matter to the sect, after all, they are at the top, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor below, as long as they remain surrendered to the Immortal Sect.”
Zhao Zhen also had cold eyes when he heard this.
He knew that this was the truth of everything.
The reason why Qingyun Sect was destroyed was because of Zhou Jingshen's ambition.
"So Zhao Zhen, the Continental Battle Conference is your only choice. If you want to take revenge and rebuild the Qingyun Sect, then you must participate."
He Changkong looked at Zhao Zhen seriously, "Because only if you participate and get a good ranking can you really attract the attention of the Immortal Sect. And only if the Immortal Sect values you, you can kill Zhou Jingshen without any future troubles. Otherwise, there will be no future troubles." endless."
"The Continental Battle Conference?"
Zhao Zhen also muttered something, and the next moment his eyes fixed.
"Don't worry, General He, I will definitely participate."
“It’s not about making a name for yourself.”
"Just for revenge."
Hearing these decisive words and seeing Zhao Zhen's firm eyes, He Changkong also showed a smile.
"Okay, I believe you."
Zhao Zhen said no more, but narrowed his eyes.
He knew that he had thought too simply before, thinking that the destruction of the Qingyun Sect was just an internal fight within the Immortal Sect.
Only now did he realize that this was not just an internal fight, but a larger game of interests.
Then of course he would participate.
Just like the way he understood the sword.
The way of the sword lies in moving forward.
Naturally, his revenge can only move forward!
