Winter in Qingyang is as always.
The heavy snow persists, falling one after another, and the sky is filled with ice and snow.
Cangbao Street, Second Courtyard.
"Junior brother!"
With a shout, Bai Siyuan led the two of them to walk quickly in the wind and snow.
The person who spoke was a man in a green robe, with a lot of white hair on his temples. Although he had a middle-aged face, he gave people a feeling of twilight.
Zhong Yan looked up, with a knowing smile on his face. He stood up and greeted the three people in the corridor at the door, watching the three people come forward.
"Junior Brother Zhong, long time no see!"
"Friend Zhong Dao, you're welcome!"
Another horse-faced man with a hearty smile and a slightly reserved expression is Wei Changfeng. Ever since he met Zhong Yan in Fuyang Town in his early years, he has been working undercover with Liu Zhengchun in the Yang Yanqing family.
Since then, Zhong Yan and the two have met several times in public, and they have always kept in touch with Liu Zhengchun, but it has been more than 40 years since they last met.
"Senior Brother Liu, Fellow Daoist Wei, thank you for your hard work. Please come in!"
Zhong Yan felt a little emotional and regretful.
Liu Zhengchun's qualifications are very poor. He is more than ten years older than himself and is over 100 years old. He has secretly supported and provided a lot of resources. Now that he has only built one level of foundation, his hope of forming a core in this life is probably slim.
Wei Changfeng, who was only a small level higher than him at the time, had reached the seventh level of foundation building.
After Zhong Qihan came forward to greet him, they each took their seats.
Liu Zhengchun looked ashamed and said: "I have failed my junior brother's great trust, so Yang Yanqing..."
Zhong Yan waved his hands and said: "There is no need to mention this matter again. Senior brother and fellow Daoist Wei have worked hard for the Zhong Clan and made great contributions. From now on, they will stay in the Zhong Clan and work together to advance together."
The Tang clan was defeated in Quzuo. Yang Yanqing did not participate in the war. Instead, he and the core members of the Zhou family were stationed in Baiye City. After that, he followed the Zhou family and led a small number of clan members to flee to Wei.
Liu Zhengchun and Wei Changfeng were so powerful. They had not been able to contact the higher-ups for many years, and they were completely powerless. They were also affected in the war. The former was seriously injured, and it was only now that he recovered and came to visit.
However, the two of them attacked 'Zhang Yufu' secretly and captured him, and Wei Changfeng handed him over to Bai Siyuan.
After being tortured and soul-searched by the Zhong Family Law Enforcement Hall, Zhong Yan finally understood where 'Zhang Yufu''s hostility towards him came from.
But it was a bandit leader from Xiaobaifeng in the early years who failed to ambush and was killed by Song Yunhui instead.
After some pleasantries and reminiscing about old times, the five of them went to have a banquet.
Meng Zhilei, Han Jiuping, and Zhang Dongzhuo, who were former disciples of the Huoyun Sect, were also present.
Han Jiuping and Zhang Dongzhuo had better qualifications. They did not stay in the outer sect for long before becoming inner sect disciples. They were not familiar with Liu Zhengchun and could not even remember each other.
Meng Zhilei, on the other hand, was in a circle with Liu Zhengchun because of her relationship with Zhong Yan and her qualifications.
Looking back on the past, I have many emotions.
There are probably not many outer disciples of that generation of Fire Cloud Sect left now.
The next day, Liu Zhengchun and Wei Changfeng officially settled in Cangbao Street.
The former joined the academy and taught the children the basics of reading and spiritual practice. The latter's cultivation was acceptable. He followed Bai Siyuan and was incorporated into the Zhong clan's law enforcement hall.
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
The civil war had ceased for more than four months, and Yan State faced a new problem - the choice of monarch.
The Huoyun Sect maintains that the emperor of Yan State, who is currently in charge of the capital, will continue to be in charge. This is justified, in line with etiquette and law, and can reassure the people.
Ming Haozong wanted to push the fourth prince, whom he had always supported, to the throne. He said that he had outstanding abilities and strict military management, and he could determine the country.
Therefore, after the Battle of Quzuo, King Qin Ben of Qiyang never returned to the court and stayed in Wei State. He contacted Zhong Yan, his brother-in-law, many times to help him.
The king of a country is just a matter of words to the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Although monks have no interest in government affairs, the interests involved are extremely huge. To put it simply, monks often marry wives and have children, most of whom are mortal descendants without spiritual roots.
More importantly, the monarch is related to Yan's national destiny for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it had a profound impact on the Battle of Weinan.
Song Yunhui came with a message and asked for his opinion.
Zhong Yan has the ability to control, but there is no conclusive conclusion. At least so far, the 'imperial dragon energy' presented by Qin Ben is not as strong as the capital emperor.
As for the 'Emperor Dragon Qi', he still doesn't know the details, but he can be sure of one thing. It will definitely affect the future pattern of the entire Weinan and is related to the overall situation.
After careful consideration, Zhong Yan gave Qin Ben a chance.
The Huoyun Sect and the Minghao Sect finally decided to open a battlefield in Suliu. The monks would not participate. Each of the three candidates would send 100,000 troops to decide the winner.
What left Zhong Yan speechless was that Emperor Qin Ben was still determined to leave his retreat and did not return to Yan. He took command in Ruyang and only sent military counselor Zhang Shun and left general Niu Qingshan to lead one hundred thousand elite troops to fight.
The war that was originally thought to last for a period of time came to an end in less than a month.
The fourth prince's "Anguo Army" and Qin Ben's "Qiyang Army" coincided with each other, and they tacitly agreed to jointly destroy the "Zhenguo Army" first, and then the two sides fought head-on until blood flowed into a river, and the Qiyang Army It ended with just over 6,000 people left.
At this point, the twenty-eight-year-long civil war in Yan came to an end.
In the twenty-ninth year of Jinghong, on March 3rd, the dragon raised its head.
Qin Ben made the capital of the original Wei state 'Bianjing', ascended to Dabao, changed 'Yan' to 'Dayan', and the reign name was 'Qishun'.
Because he was the first warrior in the Yan Kingdom to break into the master realm, he was called the 'Martial Emperor'.
at the same time.
In the Immortal Realm of the Yan Kingdom, there are three sects (Huoyun, Minghao, Qifeng) and one hundred and sixty-eight foundation-building families. Representatives from all parties convened the 'Dinghou' council in the immortal city of Liulicheng.
The Huoyun Sect and Minghao Sect merged into one sect again and were renamed "Yunhao Sect". The sect leader Song Yunhui set up nine elder seats in the Elder Pavilion, and the originally allied families were separated again.
First-class princes: Yun Haozong
Second-class princes (five): Qingyang Zhong clan, Liuli Luo clan, Liuli Guo clan, Yuchan Han clan, Wuqiu Xie clan
Third-class princes (seventeen): Fenglin Ye family, Baiyan Qifeng family, Quzuo Qi family, Xintian Ding family (formerly Shunyi Ding family)...
Fourth-class princes (thirty-six): Heishui Peng and others
There are forty-two fifth-class princes and sixty-eight sixth-class princes.
Below the sixth level, many Qi Refining families who are not qualified to attend are divided into seventh, eighth and ninth levels.
The princes of each level occupied different cities and paid different proportions of taxes and tribute.
The Zhong family, who appeared to be a second-class prince, actually not only had independent management rights of the city, but also enjoyed all the prayer beads harvested by the people under the city without having to pay tribute, becoming a special existence hidden behind the scenes.
Today, the Zhong clan controls seven major cities: Qingyang, Wangxi, Anhe, Shunyi, Minglan, Xiya, and Wanghai.
Baiyan was assigned to Qifeng, and Minglan, Xiya, and Wanghai in the eastern part of the original Wei Kingdom were acquired. The seven cities were connected together, just like a small country.
…
In May of the first year of Qishun in Dayan.
The second courtyard of Cangbao Street.
Zhong Yanfei landed in the courtyard, and eyes gathered one after another.
"Father is here!"
"Master!"
"uncle!"
A middle-aged man wearing a tall hat quickly rushed out of the hall, lifted his robe and knelt down to salute. His eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "Naofumi... meet my uncle!"
"stand up."
Zhong Yan smiled, stretched out his hand to lift him up, and pressed his shoulder, feeling extremely emotional for a moment.
Li Shangwen's once handsome and white face can now be seen with many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and there are also some gray hairs on his temples.
The middle-aged appearance is just a result of good martial arts training. In fact, he is nearly seventy years old. Among the mortals in this Xianwu Continent, he is among the old.
After decades of fighting with the army and never marrying, Li Shangwengui is now a high-ranking member of the imperial court and the right prime minister.
The Li family, protected by the Zhong family, became the most famous martial arts family in Qingyang under the leadership of Li Shangwu, who had become a master.
"Brother He Nian, this time I have an explanation with you."
Zhong Yan murmured in his heart, and then his expression changed, and his consciousness swept towards the storage bag, but after more than half a year, Ying Ye came again with a message.
Zeng Yan said that they would meet in three months, but there had been no news before.
"Dharma protector, I want to see who you are!"
