Inadvertently, Gu Xu thought of a word that Luo Sishou had mentioned in the conversation before - "our great cause".
"Is what Luo Sishou did today related to the so-called 'great cause'?" He silently speculated in his mind.
…………
When Gu Xu and Zhao Yan were trapped in the royal treasury, undercurrents were also surging in Luojing City.
The Duke of Yan, Zhao Changying, was wearing a military robe and standing by the pond in his house.
Beside him were a group of practitioners dressed in black and loyal to the Zhao family in Youzhou.
Zhao Changying waved his hand gently, and the turtle swimming lazily in the pond suddenly flew into the air, and then landed steadily in the palm of his hand.
Then, he turned his true energy into a sharp blade, cut open the turtle's belly, and actually took out a piece of bamboo.
He expressionlessly handed the piece of bamboo to the hands of his subordinates.
"Take a look." He ordered.
Although his tone was very calm, he revealed a majesty that could not be disobeyed. He was completely different from the drunken and decadent drunkard of the past.
The monks took the bamboo pieces respectfully and took turns to observe them carefully.
I saw four big characters clearly engraved on the bamboo piece——..
"Tianbu Zhaoxing".
After a brief silence, Zhao Changying continued: "Since the Emperor of Da Qi wants to use rumors and prophecies to deal with us, then we might as well use his plan to become the real 'destiny'.
"As descendants of Dayan, we are definitely not fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered by others."
Looking at Duke Yan, who was emitting the powerful aura of an eighth-level monk with every gesture in front of him, all the monks felt their blood boiling in their chests, and they couldn't help but want to blurt out: "I am willing to follow Duke Guo to the death."
However, they soon realized that whether today's matter was successful or not, their lord's identity would change.
The title "Yan Guogong" will soon cease to exist.
At this time, a burly, rugged man with a beard walked out of the team and came to Zhao Changying.
This person's name is Hu Yanxiao, and he is a direct subordinate who is deeply trusted by Zhao Changying. He has a bold and unscrupulous personality. He often drinks with Zhao Changying from a large bowl while giving advice, and never hides his true thoughts.
And Zhao Changying has always admired his bravery and boldness as a northerner, and often entrusted him with important tasks.
I heard Huyan Xiaokang say loudly and passionately: "Sir, I have long disliked these cowards of the Xiao family in Luojing City! They will only hide in the formation and enjoy the protection of their ancestors. With their strength, Obviously they can destroy most of the ghosts in the world, but they allow the ghosts to wreak havoc and harm the people.
"Even the gods they worship are aloof and don't care about the sufferings of the people - how is it like our great fire god who steals fire for the world?
"We Youzhou people should rule by ourselves as we did before, instead of kneeling down to that dog emperor in Zichen Palace."
Having said this, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Changying and shouted: "Long live Dayan! Long live the king!"
His voice echoed in the courtyard for a long time.
Hearing Hu Yanxiao's words, other monks knelt down in front of Zhao Changying and shouted in unison: "Long live Dayan! Long live the king!"
Zhao Changying's expression remained calm, as if everyone's reactions were what he expected.
He threw the turtle in his hand back into the pond, then pointed to the gate of the mansion and said calmly: "Let's go."
…………
On the banks of the Luo River.
The current Luoshui Conference has ended, and the monks participating in the conference have basically withdrawn from the secret realm. Some of them are talking about what they saw and heard to others with joy, while some are downcast and silent.
The Da Qi court also dispatched specialized officials, and based on their performance in the secret realm, they were divided into several levels such as "First Class A" and "Second Class A" just like the imperial examination.
Among them, those who perform well can receive generous training resources from the court as a reward, and have the opportunity to be appreciated by the government or some high-level sects.
Those with official status may advance to a higher level after today; and some unknown cultivators may also join the organization after today.
At this moment, Su Xiao from Shudi Jiange was standing by the river, looking at the ripples on the water, silent.
There were several Jiange disciples beside him.
Most of these disciples were admirers of Su Xiao.
Some of them spoke to comfort him, claiming that Senior Brother Su definitely had the ability to win the championship, but he just didn't have good luck today.
Some people pointed out fiercely that the sudden change in the rules of the Luoshui Conference was simply aimed at Senior Brother Su. After all, only the weak would stick together for warmth, while the strong would fight alone - if they were to play one-on-one in the ring like in the past, Could someone else be Senior Brother Su's opponent?
Su Xiao listened and recalled his experience in the secret realm, but did not speak immediately.
When it comes to fighting, he is truly invincible.
But after getting some map fragments, he failed to analyze the hiding place of Yinjiu Zhi as quickly as Gu Xu, resulting in a slow step, a slow step, and finally missed the leader.
"Perhaps the Chief Secretary changed the rules of the Luoshui Conference because he wanted to tell us that a person's strength does not only include the ability to fight." After the junior brothers finished speaking, Su Xiao slowly said, "Wisdom, luck, And the ability to communicate and cooperate... these are all part of strength.
"In these respects, I am indeed slightly inferior. You don't need to make excuses for me."
Of course, despite his calm appearance, Su Xiao still felt a little regretful. He regretted that he had not been able to enter the royal treasury and get the "Hunyuan Box" inside. With the help of its power to transcend time and space and recall the past, he could understand his father's past. How he died in battle.
"By the way, Senior Brother Su, it stands to reason that our Pavilion Master is coming to the capital to watch the battle today, but I have never seen her. Do you know where she went?" At this time, another Sword Pavilion disciple asked.
"I don't know either," Su Xiao shook her head, "Master didn't tell me either."
…………
After leaving the inner treasury of the royal family with the help of the space passage, Mangshan Ghost King came to the "Heaven Street" that ran through the north and south of the capital and led directly to the palace gate.
Looking at the majestic and magnificent "Purple Chen Palace", a hint of crazy emotion flashed in its cold and ice-like eyes - this was once the home of the Great Chu Dynasty, but now it has fallen into the hands of others. As the resentment of successive emperors of Great Chu, A collection of souls, it can no longer remain calm.
It slowly raised the "Jingshan Bi" in its hand.
As the former seal of the Great Chu Kingdom, it has the function of mobilizing the world's destiny.
But now, it plays another role - as the eye of the formation, blocking the movement of Luo Jing's dragon energy, competing with the "Tianlong Formation", and even destroying the "Tianlong Formation". _&
