In the blink of an eye, Qin Ge has been stationed in Luoyang for half a year. Nothing seems to have changed in Luoyang, and everything has become unusually calm. On the contrary, bandits in various states and counties are in chaos again. There are faint shadows of immortals and demons behind them, and there is a hint that a storm is coming. The whole building is full of atmosphere!
The situation in Qingzhou is also undercurrent. The counties and counties under Qin Ge strictly abide by Qin Ge's military orders. They only stick to defense and never take the initiative to attack. Their strategic focus is entirely on restoring people's livelihood, industry and economy.
On the contrary, the power of Liu Bei's troops and the Xingyao Yellow Turban bandits expanded rapidly, the conflict with the Liangshan bandits intensified, and the friction between the two sides intensified. This in turn made the situation in the counties under Qin Ge tend to a short-term stability.
However, the Baibo bandits in the north of Jinan County began to make moves. After the bloody battle between Yang Feng and the Yellow Turban bandits, Jinan County was controlled by Qin Ge.
After Han Xian's power grew rapidly, he gradually showed signs of breaking away from Yang Feng.
Zang Hong presided over the government affairs of Jinan County, giving full play to his "rest and recuperation" lord characteristics. The economic production of each county recovered rapidly, and the integration of military and government gradually made Jinan County as solid as an iron barrel.
Xun Chen, on the other hand, showed his true nature as a political strategist and played a good role among the surrounding Baibo bandits, Liangshan bandits and other forces, which even intensified the conflict between Yang Feng and Han Xian.
Originally, Han Xian occupied a county and gained great momentum after receiving the support from Jiuyao Demon Palace. At the beginning of spring, he even led the Baibo bandit troops to march eastward with strong troops and horses, and clashed with Yang Zhi's troops stationed in Taohua Village. It almost led to a military confrontation.
Now Han Xian and Yang Feng have many conflicts. However, Yang Feng is very dissatisfied with Han Xian's turning his back on the guests after becoming bigger. At this time, internal strife occurred within the Baibo bandits, which caused Han Xian to restrict Yang Zhi's military operations at every turn. The situation in Jinan County was also at a critical stage. A strange state of equilibrium.
In the territory of Qingzhou, under the governance of Kinderman and Guan Zhong, the security in the territory quickly stabilized. Because of the restoration of order and civil administration, although the immortals and demons preached vigorously.
However, because Qingzhou is no longer as turbulent as before, and believers are no longer as rampant as the Yellow Turban bandits, at least now the two realms of immortals and demons have not caused harm to the territorial government.
In order not to become the public enemies of the immortals and demons, Kinderman and Guan Zhong did not take measures to ban the immortals and demons from entering the world. However, they secretly began to issue various political orders, and they began to deal with the mysterious and demons entering the world.
…
In a tavern in Luoyang City, Luoyang City is still bustling at night, with an endless stream of people surging. Qin Ge is wearing a bamboo hat and a long robe, covering his face tightly.
Qin Ge entered a dim private room. Under the dim oil lamp in the private room, he saw a man wearing a coarse robe, dressed as a farmer.
After Qin Ge entered the room, he took off his bamboo hat. After the visitor saw Qin Ge's face clearly, he stood up and saluted Qin Ge: "Marshal!"
Qin Ge waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down. This person was Wu Ya who joined Yin Kui Demon Palace and was responsible for Qin Ge's intelligence in Luoyang. The tavern here was the temporary contact point where Wu Wu was placed.
Looking at Qin Ge's bright and dark face under the oil lamp, Qin Ge's temperament changed drastically at this time, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Compared with before, Qin Ge has become obviously a little gloomier, and he has a sense of calmness and self-restraint.
"The information related to civilized hunting that the marshal asked me to check is indeed consistent with the information you provided. It is a competition agreed by major civilized areas when entering the conflict of civilizations to compete for the right to choose the location of civilized hunting grounds! The Chinese side is composed of Yanhuang City sent three people, one representative from each of the five major families, one representative from each of the four major forces of the rebel army, plus the nine-headed Yuansheng from the Wild Lion Castle, the Sun God from Heaven, and the Rat from Hades! There are ten people in total. Five people!" As Crow spoke, he handed a list to Qin Ge, which contained a list of fifteen contestants, as well as detailed information on the top players.
Qin Ge took the entry list and read it. Crow continued: "I have discovered that Qilin, Linglong, Suzaku, and Xuanwu have frequent secret meetings. There are faint signs of alliance among their four lines. I have heard from various channels that this time The target of both immortals and demons is the Thirteen Cauldrons in the Forbidden Palace!" He said and placed a folder in front of Qin Ge.
Qin Ge looked at the information that Wu Wu handed over, and Wu Wu introduced Qin Ge to the situation of the major forces in detail, even the itinerary and background of important officials in the court such as He Jin, Wang Yun, Cui Lie, etc. Wu Wu used Yin Kui to The forces of the Demon Palace have penetrated the intelligence network everywhere, and all the forces with crows in Luoyang cannot escape Qin Ge's eyes.
Qin Ge tapped on the table, which was a sign that he was deep in thought.
Qin Ge sorted out the news from all parties and said: "Civilized hunting has started. It seems that most of the information provided to me by the Iron-Blooded Army Soul and the Moon God is relatively accurate. The Iron-Blooded Army Soul invited me to come forward on behalf of Yanhuang City and participate in the civilized hunting! Since it is If it involves the overall interests of the evolvers in the Chinese Civilization Zone, then I am bound to do so! However, it seems that the aristocratic family forces have formed a circle and excluded me, and life in Yanhuang City will not be easy!"
"If the immortals and demons want to take control of the Thirteen Cauldrons, they will launch a large-scale raid on the palace again. What surprises me most is Zhang Rang's attitude now. This person actually does not hesitate to offend both the immortals and the demons at the same time, using all his resources The means are prepared to protect the imperial power! If Jian Shuo chose to be loyal to the emperor because of his kindness, Zhang Rang is definitely not such a person! His thoughts are as deep as the sea! What is this old monster planning? The layout of the Haunted Soul Palace For hundreds of years, I will definitely not be buried with Liu Hong..."
Crow also said with a sparkle in his eyes: "That's right! Now Zhang Rang has mobilized all the elites of Yinkui Demon Palace to the inner courtyard of the palace, and has begun to arrange the twelve capitals of the Yinkui Demon Palace in the forbidden palace. , if the Shi Changshi arranged all this to usurp the throne, but they can't control the divine power of the Han Dynasty at all! What exactly are they going to do, even I don't know! And Zhang Rang seemed to have been severely injured in the last battle with the divine dragon, and now he lives in seclusion. , except for Bi Lan and others who can meet him once, it is difficult for others to get close to him!"
Qin Ge rubbed his nose and said: "The emperor asked me to command the Northern Army Guards to guard the Twelve Capitals Tiansha Formation. Liu Hong and Zhang Rang can be said to be scheming against each other. I can't figure out their thoughts now! Everything is revealing. Evil nature..."
Crow continued: "The faction headed by Yuan Wei of the noble clan fell to Xuanmen, and the faction headed by Wang Yun fell to Demon Sect! General He Jin is now in very close contact with the Paradise Sect represented by Wang Yun. The origin of Demon Sect To the original devil, because the secret of the devil’s path is cannibalism!”
Here is an explanation of the difference between the fairy world and the demon world. The fairy world can be understood as vegetarianism, and the demon world can be understood as meat-eating.
Taoist practitioners in the immortal world practice and understand all the ways of nature. They restrain the earth's veins, nourish spiritual herbs, and forbid human desires. The way of cultivation emphasizes being pure and abstaining from desires, and pursuing the supreme way of heaven. Just like Zhang Jiao, he sits in Taoism all day long, meditates, and practices lead. Mercury, communication between heaven and earth, a peerless independent attitude!
But the Demon Sect is completely different. What they pay attention to is the practice of living in the world, understanding human ethics, pursuing indulgence, and letting ambitions go. They are driven by the so-called ambition, and have freedom, wantonness, and unrestraint as their ultimate goal. What they believe in is In their eyes, the law of the jungle is the law of nature, killing people and extracting souls, just like tigers preying on sheep, so they often do many things that are harmful to nature.
Of course, there are demon believers who are not treacherous and evil, but are regarded as political symbols as demons because they are cynical and inconsistent with the orthodox ideas of the court.
Although Xuanmen and Demonic Way are both cultivators, they represent two extremes. In the past, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, Xuanmen and Demonic Way developed and prospered. In order to snatch the resources of heaven and earth and the orthodoxy, the two Taoists formulated many programmatic rules and systems. , the two factions are incompatible with each other.
When Qin Shihuang swept through the six kingdoms and established a great unification, the Xuanmen and the Demonic Sect ushered in their doom. Under the pressure of the imperial court's divine authority, they had to go underground and hide in the mountains and forests.
Although there are still prejudices among the Xuanmen and the Demonic Sect, due to the suppression by the imperial court, the two factions no longer have the deep hatred as before, and they even often have a tacit understanding in their actions.
The Bliss Sect is nominally the first sect of the devil, because the Bliss Sect controls the Bliss inheritance. Starting from Daji in the Shang Dynasty, the sect refined the nine great fox charms. The fox charms spread in the world, and they are constantly looking for hosts.
Since the hosts of Humei are all extraordinary women with both talents and beauty, many strong women in history were hosts of Humei and descendants of the Paradise Sect. Therefore, the Paradise Sect actually has a parasitic relationship with the divine power, so it has always been prosperous.
However, because of the way of practice of the Supreme Bliss Sect, its disciples often indulge in sexual pleasures, and due to the rise and fall of dynasties, the Supreme Bliss Sect has always been called a disaster for the country and the people, and a detriment to all living beings, and has a relatively high negative reputation.
I heard that Diao Chan is the saint of the contemporary Paradise Sect, and the reason why Qin Ge is so cautious about the Paradise Demon Sect is because of Wei Sanniang.
Kinderman had completely sealed the foxiness in Wei Sanniang's body and covered her aura. However, the people from the Paradise Sect still followed the clues and found Qilin City.
But now they have lost their goal and have set their sights on Kinderman several times. After all, Kinderman’s elegance and peerless appearance are no less inferior to Diao Chan. He is definitely the best candidate for the foxy boarding house. No wonder Diao Chan is so interested in Jin Deman. Deman is so interested, but Qin Ge is also a belated observer of this matter!
Starting from Zhao Gao, the Yinkui Demon Palace infiltrated into the royal family, and the Yinkui Demon Palace became bound to the royal family as a eunuch, and began to grow and develop, and now it has become the largest sect in the devil's path!
As for the other branch of the Jiuyao Demon Sect, it was behind the development of the Baibo bandits. Qin Ge had dealt with them a long time ago, and Xiaoya was the one who led the strategy.
The inheritance of the Demonic Way emphasizes immortality. Once the disciples of the Demonic Sect inherit the inheritance, they will inherit the will of the Demonic Ancestor. For example, the Demonic Ancestor of the Bliss Sect is the peerless enchantress Daji, and the ultimate secret of the Demonic Sect's cultivation is that through cultivation Resurrect the Demon Ancestor.
This is why Qin Ge tried his best to hide Wei Sanniang. He didn't want his woman to become a sacrifice for Daji's resurrection!
At this time, the fifth battalion of the Northern Army led by Qin Ge joined forces with the ten regular attendants, and the Han Forbidden Palace gradually became a forbidden area.
When He Jin saw Shi Changshi alone carrying the mysterious demons, his attitude became ambiguous. He was afraid that he would be in trouble if Shi Changshi fell down, so he was now plotting to let Dong Zhuo lead his army to attack King Qin!
He Jin obviously wanted to muddy the waters, and at the same time he secretly ordered Ding Yuan to lead his army to serve the king!
Dong Zhuo is obviously a member of the Demon Sect, while Ding Principle is relatively close to the Xuanmen, so two troops supporting the Xuanmen and the Demon Sect respectively entered the capital at the same time!
Qin Ge knew that this was He Mi's plan, and she just wanted to muddy the waters. Now He Mi was basically sure that Liu Bian would succeed to the throne. She had already taken control of Qin Ge's fifth battalion of the Northern Army, and then moved the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Flying Cavalry. Introduced into Luoyang.
At that time, the four armies, including the Xiyuan Army and the two frontier armies controlled by the gentry, restrained each other. Although they had the shadows of Xuanmen and Demonic Sect behind them, they were the emperor's ministers.
Four troops can deter the two demons. As long as the water becomes muddier, she can take advantage of it!
And now He Mi's ambitions are rapidly expanding. Not only does she want to listen to politics from behind the curtain, but she also wants to get rid of the control of the Shi Changshi. She also wants to suppress the mysterious and demonic ways and become the second Empress Lu!
Qin Ge could only let He Mi's death-seeking behavior go unchecked. Now, in Luoyang, where singing and dancing are flourishing, a storm is about to come, and the undercurrent is surging, like a pressure cooker that is constantly boiling. Once it reaches the limit, a shocking explosion will occur!
