After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan did not reject Xu Xinyao's request. He glanced at the sect disciples over there who wanted to eat him, and said softly:
"It's up to you, but I suggest you hurry up. If you delay for a long time, you will probably regret it later based on your personality."
He didn't believe those sect disciples, so naturally he wouldn't explain the reason again.
Xu Xinyao had a trace of doubt in her beautiful eyes and whispered:
"Okay, I'm just going to explain the next thing to Zi Qing and the others."
Xu Yuan shrugged and indicated that she could pass.
Xu Xinyao thought for a moment, but turned around and walked towards the group of sect disciples.
The tense atmosphere in the officialdom has dissipated somewhat.
Standing there, Xu Yuan looked at the group of sect disciples with various looks.
After ten breaths, Xu Yuan suddenly asked in his heart:
"What is the cultivation level of this group of people?"
After a moment of pause, the voice of the remnant soul of the saint sounded:
"Except for the two people who just talked to you, most of them are body-melting, and a small part are soul-condensing."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and scanned the faces of this group of people:
"They are all quite young. This kind of cultivation should be among the best in the sect. It seems that the four sisters I have made friends with are all geniuses and second-generation ancestors, and they are not just trash."
The remnant soul of the saint chuckled and said in a teasing tone: "It's true that he is not a waste, but boy Xu, I thought you would kill that person."
Xu Yuan was cold for a moment and glanced at Li Zhonghua who kept apologizing to Xu Xinyao:
"Kill Li Zhonghua?"
"Natural." The saint's remnant soul said.
Xu Yuan shook his head gently:
"Why should I kill him? Apart from making it difficult for Xu Xinyao, is there any benefit to doing so?"
The remnant soul of the saint chuckled: "Don't you think that person is very noisy?"
"Really noisy."
Xu Yuan agreed:
"But it's not like swords are blind when fighting. Such a young third-grade grandmaster is probably the true chief of a large sect. Everyone pays attention to the reputation of the master. Xu Changge would have only seriously injured him at most. Why should I do something that will do no good at all?"
After a pause, Xu Yuan glanced at the black soul ring on his fingertips:
"If I hadn't used the Charming God Dao Yun to chop down the old man and the strong man earlier, those three Wanxiang Sect's hidden men would have almost capsized our boat in the gutter. The third-grade Grand Master has Dao Yun, and none of them are easy to deal with.
"Even if we can kill them in the end, how much soul power do you, an old man, have left?
"Why would I do something so harmful and useless?"
The words fell,
Xu Xinyao, who was dressed in blue and had watery eyebrows, had turned around and walked towards Xu Yuan.
It seemed that she listened to what he said. She simply explained to calm everyone's emotions, and then returned to him after briefly arranging her itinerary after leaving.
"Third brother, let's go."
Xu Yuan looked at the other person up and down and asked:
"Do you still plan to continue traveling with them?"
He heard their conversation just now, and Xu Xinyao asked the group of people to go back to Huanglongji and wait for him.
Xu Xinyao nodded:
"Father promised me."
Xu Yuan stared at her for a few breaths when he heard this, shook his head slightly, and said no more:
"Can you fly?"
In Cangyuan, the frontal combat effectiveness of the "former heroine" in front of me is not weak, at least in the middle and early stages, not to mention her attainments in formations.
Xu Xinyao nodded slightly:
"My boots are engraved with formations that allow them to stay in the air. They can fly, but not for long periods of time."
"Don't resist."
Halfway through, Xu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt. Without looking at the group of sect disciples, he directly waved his hand and used the power of the saint's soul to lift up the four sisters, and said to Ran Qingmo beside him:
"let's go."
Ran Qingmo nodded slightly:
"Um"
The words fell,
Three figures immediately jumped up and galloped away in the direction of Shengshan County.
Xu Xinyao asked Xu Yuan many questions along the way, but Xu Yuan ignored her, just like Ran Qingmo ignored him earlier.
However, Xu Xinyao, who was gentle by nature, did not feel angry and turned to Chuanyin to share with Xu Yuan what she had seen along the way since she went out to travel.
From the suffering in the world, to the interesting things along the way, to the friends she has met, she even talked about some suitors that troubled her.
Of course, Xu Yuan still ignored her.
As they got closer to their destination, Xu Xinyao's words gradually became less and less, not because of Xu Yuan's ignorance, but because the nearby landforms gradually became familiar.
She realized that the place they were going to was Shengshan County, and she also vaguely realized why the third brother, who had been silent all the way, wanted to beat her.
One day later, the destination was reached.
The Illusion Mist Formation in Shengshan County still stretched across the edge of the Wanxing Mountains like a natural moat, and Xu Yuan took Xu Xinyao directly to the Wanxiang Sect's control position.
It was still a moonless night, and occasionally a loud roar of an animal could be heard in the dark mountain forest.
Falling at the entrance of the cave where the control point is located,
Xu Yuan still said nothing and glanced sideways at Xu Xinyao who was silent.
Xu Xinyao lowered her head, and her soft hair blew down along her temples, covering her expression.
Without any words, she walked quietly towards the cave.
Xu Yuan didn't move, watching the other person's slim figure disappear into the darkness of the cave, then he snorted with unknown meaning, walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, and sat on the stone wall.
He hadn't slept a wink for two days and two nights. Once he stopped using his skills, he would feel a deep sense of sleepiness.
Ran Qingmo sat silently beside him, took down the curtain, looked at the dark mountains and forests around him with her quiet and beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Xu Yuan."
"Huh?" Xu Yuan looked slightly tired and did not open his eyes.
Ran Qingmo said in a low voice:
"Your sister is actually quite nice."
Xu Yuan whispered:
"How to say?"
Ran Qingmo thought for a while and whispered:
"I had heard of her reputation when I traveled around the world before. Before I came down from the mountain, my master said that I should learn from her."
Xu Yuan heard this and said in a low voice:
"Your master is quite a sensible person."
As he spoke, he curled his lips:
"But the sect should really hope that there are more people like her in the court."
Ran Qingmo thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he asked:
"Why?"
"Because if there are too many people like this, my father's plan will be difficult and everyone will be in peace."
"Um"
Ran Qingmo thought for a while and asked, "Isn't it good to live in peace and harmony?"
"Nature is good."
Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes: "No one wants to fight, not even my father. People who really want to fight and enjoy fighting are crazy."
When Ran Qingmo heard this topic, his eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice:
"Keke, why did your father attack Jian Zong?"
Xu Yuan looked at her beside him, his face softened a little, and he asked in a low voice:
"Ran Qingmo, what do you think of the Wanxiang Sect's move to massacre the city?"
Ran Qingmo was silent for a few breaths and said seriously:
"angry."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Yes, if you are angry, you will feel angry if you see something like this. This is 400,000 people."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan paused for two seconds, then suddenly changed the subject, and his tone was a little complicated:
"Four hundred thousand people seems like a lot, but it's really nothing. The monster Chao Ziyue County was destroyed the year before last, and more than 300,000 people died. Do you know this?"
Ran Qingmo shook his head honestly: "I don't know."
Xu Yuan continued to ask:
"The monster tide was broken into Chengqing County two years ago, and more than half a million people died. The most serious thing was that Xichen County was broken into nine years ago, and nearly two million people died. You don't know these things, right?"
"."
Ran Qingmo said nothing and shook his head.
She didn't read the Di newspaper or the internal reference, she only knew about cultivation.
All the information was told to her by her master.
Xu Yuan sighed:
"Four hundred thousand people are just a drop in the ocean for the entire Great Yan. Because the things I just said are all round numbers.
“It is difficult to calculate the casualties and casualties every year along the 100,000-mile border defense line in the Wanxing Mountains, but at least it exceeds that of Shengshan County.
"Remember, I said every year."
"." Ran Qingmo pursed her red lips.
Xu Yuan had no intention of stopping. He raised his finger and pointed to the northwest and north, and said in a tired tone:
"Ran Qingmo, Dayan's border is not only the Wanxing Mountains, which are 100,000 miles away, but also the northwest desert, and the bitter cold land in the north. Since Dayan officially started the war with the barbarians in the north, there have been many dead people there. There are more than five million people, and in addition to the coastal defense line of Dongfang Linhai that stretches for nearly 200,000 miles, there are also Japanese pirates causing trouble."
"The number of people killed and injured in these places every year is really nothing in Shengshan County."
Ran Qingmo lowered his eyes slightly and said softly:
"Xu Yuan. Do so many people die every year?"
"It is recorded by the Internal Reference of the Prime Minister's Office."
Xu Yuan sighed again, with a leisurely tone:
"And the number of people killed and injured on the border is only a small number. The real number lies in the territory of Dayan. In addition to the seven or eight wealthy continents, you should have seen what the rest of the places are like. And these reasons are because of many The sect’s blood-sucking has caused the imperial court’s financial deficit, and local governments are unable to afford the expenses of eliminating demons.”
"Of course, from your sect's point of view, we can also understand that this is the result of the stubbornness of the imperial court, which seizes power and refuses to give in."
"But no one wants Great Yan to be exhausted. After all, only when Great Yan becomes stronger can the imperial court, sects and many aristocratic families become more powerful."
"." Ran Qingmo's chest rose and fell slightly.
Xu Yuan looked helpless and said in a low voice:
"Ran Qingmo, now you should know why my father wants to attack the Tianyuan Sword Sect, right? He doesn't want to attack the Tianyuan Sword Sect, but to attack the sects in the world. Your Tianyuan Sword Sect is just because you are the head of the sect. Just bear the brunt of it.”
Silence, silence outside the cave.
after a long time,
Ran Qingmo whispered:
"Xu Yuan. When you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell my master and them?"
Xu Yuan raised his hand and lost his mind.
Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled, but he didn't feel any pain or itching.
"."
Xu Yuan silently retracted his painful finger and coughed lightly:
"Ahem, except for the last point, all the things I mentioned are known to the top leaders of the sect.
"As for the last point, no one believed it before, and no one will believe it now if you tell it. After all, the news that you have been staying with me has probably spread throughout the sects all over the world."
The black dragon carriage that represents the direct lineage of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too eye-catching, and Ran Qingmo's dress, always dressed in black with an ink sword, is also particularly unique. The disciples don't know, but the real senior officials must know that this old man of the Sword Sect is the precious disciple.
Basically, it's mud getting into the crotch and it can't be cleaned no matter how hard you wash it.
Ran Qingmo sat silently next to Xu Yuan. After a while, she seemed to realize that something was wrong:
"Xu Yuan, if your father wants to do that kind of thing, why would your sister do the opposite?"
"It's just in her nature."
Xu Yuan glanced at the direction of the cave and said directly without thinking: "She is too gentle and kind, and always wants a solution to the death of people, but where does such a good thing come from in this world? It is due to profit, who Will you give in?"
After the words fell, neither of them spoke.
Time flows quietly,
The voice of the saint's remnant soul suddenly sounded in Xu Yuan's heart:
"Boy Xu, your father is really calculating."
"How do you say it?" Xu Yuan asked.
The remnant soul of the saint sighed:
"To be honest, old man, I don't know much about today's world. However, as an important official of the imperial court, your father secretly wanted to destroy the sect, but he also let your sister go out to travel. Isn't this completely a deceptive goodwill towards the sect? What? With the help of other government decrees, everyone in the sect probably thinks that your prime minister is going to compromise, right?
"Tsk tsk. Just when the sect thought they wouldn't take action, another thunderous strike is really a good idea."
Xu Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Old man Luo was able to draw this conclusion based on that bit of information. It seems that his ten thousand years were not in vain.
However, Xu Yuan just said softly:
"Old man Luo, you are wrong, this is the path Xu Xinyao chose.
"It's just a mistake at best, but her behavior is just the icing on the cake for my father's plan."
In the past ten years or so, the government orders issued by the court against the sect have basically been nothing but thunder.
Even some time ago, there were rumors of government decrees to govern one land by one person in several continents around Jiangnan Prefecture.
This was something that would have been unthinkable more than ten years ago.
After all, Xu Yinhe had been in power for decades and had to go through great hardships to eradicate the sect forces from the government offices in various places in Dayan.
Nowadays, the opportunity for the disciples of the sect to enter the court as officials has basically been cut off, but the recent government decrees at the court seem to be showing signs of opening up this opportunity again.
The list goes on and on.
Compared with these confusing decrees, Xu Xinyao's goodwill towards the sect can really only be regarded as the icing on the cake.
After saying this, Xu Yuan suddenly realized that time should have passed by almost the same, and he should go in and train his fourth sister who had a mental problem.
Standing up slowly, Xu Yuan whispered to Ran Qingmo beside him:
"Ran Qingmo, please stay here. I have something to say to my fourth sister."
Ran Qingmo seemed to still be thinking about what Xu Yuan said just now, and just nodded slightly:
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Xu Yuan looked at her with slightly frowning eyebrows, reached out and rubbed her head:
"Don't think too much. The conflict between the sect and the imperial court is basically irreconcilable. We can only break up and stand behind."
a little late
