"However," Bai Hen looked at Zhan Changfeng meaningfully, "we got another fragment from other people. There are four totems on it, one of which is the totem of the sword that Ran Nian used as bait. Now we know It represents the Gaotian Clan, and through the interpretation of the Gaotian Clan, the other three represent the Heavenly Eyes, White Tiger, Fantasy Sea, Spring Mirage, and the Blue Toad Sect."
They are all subordinates of the second emperor.
It’s just Bai Chen’s words
"So are the Sky-Eyed White Tiger, Fantasy Sea, and Spring Mirage?" Zhan Changfeng was surprised, "Isn't it rumored that they are the great demons left by the two venerables to suppress the land and sea?"
"Perhaps this is just a superficial statement. According to the Gaotian Clan, these four places actually suppressed forces from all directions. The White Tiger with Heavenly Eyes and Miao Shan'an restrained each other."
Bai Hen pondered, "Before the clues about Good Medicine Mountain appeared, we knew that there was a young monk named He Yuntian in Junziyuan who was favored by the descendants of the Sky-Eyed White Tiger. Only now did we realize that he might know where the Sky-Eyed White Tiger was guarding. He has even obtained the Wheel of Luck, but this boy has the protection of the Junziyuan and is admired by Gu Hanzi, so as long as he does not join other princes' forces, he can go."
Gu Hanzi is the head of the Junzi Courtyard and the elder who coordinates the internal affairs of the Elders Council. He went into seclusion a few days ago and Mingrui took over his duties.
If Gu Hanzi succeeds in retreat, a true king will appear in Zangyun Stream, which will be a great support to the Elders Council.
However, the main point of Baihen was to test what she got from the Phantom Sea Spring Mirage, and also hinted that if she had clues about the Wheel of Fortune, he would not plunder it.
When she noticed some cooperation between Ran Nian and the Gaotian clan earlier, she was prepared for Bai Hen to know about the first and second emperors and to suspect herself.
It is precisely because Baihen knows something about the mutual suppression of the eight forces that he is suitable for cooperation.
"Since He Yuntian may know the traces of the Wheel of Fortune, we should protect him and not let him fall into the hands of others."
"I know this matter well. I think I am the only one who knows the meaning of those five totems at present, and the Gaotian clan will not tell them." Bai Hen said again, "But it can't be kept secret for long. If I don't leak it, the zombies who escape will There may be leaks from the clan, and sooner or later everyone’s attention will turn to the White Tiger, Phantom Sea, and Spring Mirage. I suggest you keep your current disguise and stop using the identity of Qingxu.”
Zhan Changfeng was speechless, "Elders don't think that I am related to the Phantom Sea Spring Mirage. I only knew the clam demon for two hours, and I met the little mirage once. Soon the little mirage died with the contractor. "
She seemed to feel that this explanation was weak, so she simply swore an oath, "Everything I said is true. I have never received any benefits from clam monsters and mirages, and I don't know about the luck related to the Phantom Sea Spring Mirage." Where is the wheel?"
The Tao oath is the oath made by the Taoist to the Tao, and it will be fulfilled. Bai Hen felt slightly relieved and a little regretful, "What are you doing? I don't doubt you. I'm just giving you a warning. If you If there really is a wheel of fortune, the Council of Elders will not take it away.”
"I naturally trust the elder's character, and I will remember what you did for me. That's it. I don't want there to be any misunderstanding between us."
Zhan Changfeng shook the tea cup, and the soup swayed slightly, "If you don't know how to take it, does the Elders' Meeting really not know how to take it? Is the current Elders' Meeting what you remember?"
"What do you mean by this?" Bai Hen suddenly said, "You are talking about Yuan Heng, Yu Shen has ambitions for hegemony, Yuan Heng may indeed help him, and he did target me, but it cannot be said that there is something wrong with the entire council of elders. "
"The following is the internal concern that the gentleman mentioned." Zhan Changfeng said, "Let me ask first, the princes have already taken action and openly respect the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders clearly knows why there is no measure at all."
"You don't understand. Those princes are very measured. If they want to fight, they will only fight with princes. The Council of Elders cannot control the fight between princes, otherwise it will break the rules."
"So the Northern Marquis of Qi wiped out all the lords in the North and became a great vassal?"
"The Council of Elders feels threatened by Marquis Qi Bei, but on the surface they don't conflict with the Council of Elders. What can we do?"
Zhan Changfeng pointed out, "This is the drawback of land enfeoffment. Once the princes are given a chance, they can overthrow the Council of Elders at any time. So, has the current Council of Elders come up with any countermeasures, such as war or peace?"
"Preferring to move in secret."
"Do you still want to save face?"
"" Bai Hen was slightly annoyed, "You don't understand. Each elder has different opinions, and they have no name. How to act."
Zhan Changfeng turned her head and smiled. She originally thought that the monarchy system was too restrictive and could easily imprison thoughts. She thought the decentralization of powers by the Council of Elders was quite enlightened. But now she saw that monarchy could lead to the stupidity of most people because of the stupidity of one person, and decentralization of power could also lead to the stupidity of most people. Because of the stupidity of most people, it results in slow efficiency and divergent decision-making, which leads to self-destruction.
It's unrealistic to give up trying to convince Bai Hen to go to war with the princes for the time being.
"Well, I don't know much about politics, nor do I know much about balance and constraints, but elder, how is your voice in the elders' meeting compared to before?"
The white mark was injected with a needle, but you still have the nerve to ask.
Zhan Changfeng didn't really wait for his answer, and said, "I asked my husband for advice, and she gave me two suggestions."
"What?" Baihen sat upright.
"Foreignally, delay all parties' efforts to find the Wheel of Luck, seek foreign aid when necessary, and have a few more helping forces within the outside world."
"Internally, re-establish prestige and seize the greatest say." Zhan Changfeng thought for a moment, "Sir, there is a joke that makes my hair stand on end. If the elder listens to it, you can't blame me."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Sir, if I were Yu Shen and had ambitions for hegemony, I would join forces with Yuan Heng to monopolize the military power of the Council of Elders. When the princes were in turmoil and the Council of Elders was in danger, they would unite with the majority of the members to depose the military inspectors and order The army took over the sovereignty of all cities and dominated the Council of Elders with military power."
"This is not rebellion, but reform, reform in order to save the Council of Elders." Zhan Changfeng sipped his tea, "Military inspectors are actually a constraint on the generals stationed in the city, aren't they? In times of war, breaking this There is nothing wrong with it to gain more power by imposing restrictions."
There was a dark glint in Bai Hen's eyes, and he wanted to shout that it was ridiculous, but Yuan Heng's targeting of him made some sense.
If he falls down, there will definitely be trouble in the military aircraft pavilion, and the military aircraft inspectors will be affected.
The city under the Council of Elders implements dual-headed governance, with military inspectors in charge of domestic and foreign affairs, and the generals stationed in the city in charge of the army.
Theoretically, the military inspector is one level higher than the garrison general and has the authority to command the army during wartime. However, the garrison general is the one directly in charge of the army, and he still has relatives and friends involved.
It's not like it hasn't happened before. The army only listened to the generals stationed in the city and flew air planes to inspect the envoys.
It's not creepy, it's
Over there, Zhan Changfeng said again, "Of course this is just a hypothesis. The most important thing at the moment is to restore your reputation."
"Sir, you said that you were involved because of Baicao Yuan, so the crux is still Baicao Yuan. Baicao Yuan's approach of closing the door to thank guests is actually not very good. It is better to open the gate widely and let Baicao Yuan's disciples go deep into the grassroots to treat those who can't afford to get sick. , can’t treat the disease well.”
Bai Hen felt touched, "But what should I do if someone is spreading the news about Baicaoyuan's human elixir?"
"It doesn't matter if you are questioned by some with blank eyes. The human elixir issue has become a reality. Even if you use blood to cleanse the stigma, you should not hesitate. Hiding in the mountain gate will not change anything."
