Dou Li thought for a while, waved his hands to all the disciples to leave, leaving only ten elders and two other deputy sect leaders. He said to Luo Jing: "Huh, if the time is set and the people are selected, I'm afraid those people may not necessarily be the same." I will go to the Imperial Alliance!"
Luo Jing: "Are you worried that those people will take advantage of the chaos to attack us?"
Elder Zhou Song: "The remaining six sects don't have a good relationship with us!"
Elder Zeng Hong said: "Don't forget that we have killed many disciples of Luo Ge and Han Clan!"
Elder Xue Yao said: "I have also killed several powerful officials from Fenghui and Haizong!"
Elder Zheng Tong said: "We almost destroyed the holy places of Thunder Sect and Fire Sect!"
Douli: "Yes, if we settle old scores, these people may not want to find the Imperial Alliance, but rather come to us!"
Luo Jing still insisted on her opinion and said: "But the problem now is that if the Imperial Alliance continues to grow and takes action against us in the future, it will not be a problem of one or two disciples. Can't they tell which one is more important?"
Zeng Hong: "What if you can tell them apart? What if you can't tell them apart? Your enemy is attacked in front of you. What will you do?"
Xue Yao: "Do you want to stab him in the back?"
Dou Li: "What's more, the Imperial Alliance is very calm now, and there is no sign of attack at all. It is difficult for those people to make up their minds. Maybe those people will be anxious when the first sect is destroyed!"
Luo Jing: "But the question is, if the Imperial Alliance takes action, who will it choose?"
call!
Everyone fell into a brief silence. It was still unclear what the reason for the alliance was. Apart from fighting for hegemony, no reasonable possibility could be found. Even the alliance of the five factions could not threaten the Five Holy Lands. Apart from the rest of the Imperial Sect, , for what else?
What's more, the Imperial Alliance also includes the super powerful Xuan Wuchang. If he leads the team, wouldn't he destroy one faction after another?
The situation is so dangerous, why can't these people let go of their past grudges? Even if they could sit down and talk, it would be better than working independently and guarding against each other now. Why do the Imperial Alliance trust each other? What is the reason for these sects to unite together?
Zeng Hong said: "Is it because of other reasons?"
Xue Yao: "What is the reason for these five factions to unite? Including the arrogant Xuan Wuchang!"
Luo Jing: "Maybe it's a treasure?"
Douli: "Treasure? What treasure? The Sword Code of Compassion came out some time ago, and these people don't want to grab it. Why do they care about the treasure?"
Luo Jing: "Perhaps it is a more important treasure than the Sword of Compassion?"
Xue Yao: "For example, how to surpass the Xu Shi realm?"
call!
Everyone fell into silence again. If the Imperial Alliance found a way to break through Xu Shi, there would be no need to take action against the other Imperial Sects. A sixth Holy Land or even ten Holy Lands would appear in the future. The remaining Imperial Sects would still be there, but their status would be higher. If it's too low, I'm afraid he won't be worthy of being called an emperor at that time.
Douli: "If this is the case, it can indeed make any sect put aside their previous grudges, but this is really hard to believe!"
Zeng Hong: "The question still remains, even if we find a way, why do we need an alliance? The treasure may be hidden in one place, and these people need to work together to get it out?"
Luo Jing shook her head and said: "It still doesn't make sense. If it's a treasure, we can secretly make an alliance. Why should we tell the world? And invite so many people from all walks of life?"
Zeng Hong: “Maybe it’s to confuse us on purpose?”
Dou Li: "When we are troubled by this matter, can we find a chance to seize the treasure?"
"Very likely!"
Luo Jing: "How do we find that treasure or method?"
Douli: "Stop during this period, call back all the people sent out, and be prepared. If there is a treasure, even if you can't grab it, you have to get it together. In addition, let all the spies do nothing for these days. Keep an eye on the movements of various factions, we must seize the opportunity!"
"yes!"
The emergence of the Imperial Alliance has left many Imperial sects confused. Originally, breaking the alliance with an alliance was the best way, but the Imperial Alliance seems to have figured out the grievances between the factions. In addition to distrusting each other, the disciples of each faction have The face is stained with blood, and the hatred is deeply engraved in the heart. No one dares to give up his back to others easily. If his back cannot be let go, who dares to come to the stage?
No one can!
In addition to grudges, there is another more critical issue: who will take command after the alliance?
Not to mention the past grievances, the command position alone will cause a fight, not to mention the inevitable occurrence of public revenge and private hatred. Even a forced alliance will be a mess and impossible to achieve.
All sects have a sense of luck. Most people don't have much grudges against the Imperial Alliance. The one who makes the first move may not be you. Why wait until the other sects are wiped out before making plans?
By that time, the rest of the Imperial Sect will also pay attention to it. It is a matter of life and death. The previous grievances may be temporarily put aside. Now that the Imperial Alliance does not take action, no one is willing to touch this bad luck. If the Imperial Alliance is angered, they will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. But It's embarrassing.
This may be the prestige of the strong. No matter what others do, they must first consider the consequences.
………………
"This is your reward today!"
A child wearing a waistcoat and shorts held three copper coins in his trembling hands, turned around and left.
"What kind of reward? It's obviously my day's wages, but two of them were deducted, huh!"
The child was dissatisfied in his heart.
"Chihong, how dare you take away the reward with such an attitude!"
A man in official robes said angrily and kicked Chihong from behind. The child was already weak and unprepared. After being kicked down, he rolled several times on the ground before stopping. There was a sudden noise on his back. A tearing pain.
"you!"
Looking back, the expression that appeared in front of everyone was not panic or fear, but hatred and ferocity.
"You brat, what are you looking at!"
As he said that, the person came up and kicked him several times. In order to avoid it, Chihong ran out rolling and crawling.
"If you dare to come here next time, I'll break your dog legs!"
This is a mine in the Qi Dynasty. There are many iron mines buried underground and there are several iron smelting workshops around it. Although steel is not as valuable as silver and gold, it is also a necessity for daily life and the army. It is consumed in great quantities, so the profit is Very impressive.
In order to save labor, the army sent by the Qi Dynasty to mine mines hired outsiders for a long time. Adults mined ten copper coins a day, and five children under ten years old. Chihong worked hard for a day, but the officer deducted two coins. Although this amount of money is not much, it is still a considerable amount of income if it is deducted from thousands of people. No matter who oversees the work, they will not miss this opportunity to make money.
As for the generals at all levels in the army, they naturally received a lot of benefits. As long as no lives were lost, they turned a blind eye.
A child like Chihong, who is alone and has no background or influence, is naturally the target of bullying. Not only is the money deducted, but the remaining money is also called a reward. Such an act of trampling on dignity makes Chihong filled with resentment. .
If it were an ordinary child, he would just thank him and leave at this time. After all, even if he knew martial arts, it would be difficult to fight against an entire army. What's more, if he didn't know martial arts, the Qi Dynasty was still the behemoth behind the army.
However, Chihong was very cautious, full of arrogance, unwilling to endure injustice, and very impulsive in everything he did. Although he suffered a lot, he never lowered his head.
This time, facing the army, Chihong said nothing on the surface, but he was very dissatisfied on the inside. He showed some expressions, which was noticed by others, and he was kicked hard.
At this point, resentment and resentment appeared in the young man's heart.
Some people died, but not completely...
