Wanyicheng, Yixiang City District.
Shuhou Mansion.
The Marquis of Shu gently punched the euphorbia in his hand toward Qisheng.
A black halberd as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, with a handle similar to a bracelet for holding it.
The shape is quite strange.
For decades.
It had been decades since he had played with the big halberd in such an unabashed way.
After Zhou Taizu established the Jiuzhou in Dingchi County, the Great Zhou Dynasty established four systems of prefectures, prefectures, counties and towns, integrating military and political affairs and envoys, taking charge of the important affairs of a prefecture, and directly under the imperial power.
Then everything changed after the First World War four hundred years ago.
The power of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was greatly reduced in the First World War, so they had to implement the Tuien Order and recruit the major military governors to return to the capital. Later, the post of military governor was abolished and replaced by the state pastor and military commander.
The governor of each state is in charge of political affairs, and the commander of Zhou Shengjun is in charge of military affairs.
Later, he was divided into feudal lords to protect the clan's children. He became the king of the land and guarded the territory on behalf of the clan.
It was originally thought that state pastoral officials were not allowed to serve in the local state. The commander of Zhou Sheng's army came from the royal family. In addition, the princes also transferred the territory of Tibet, which could check and balance each other.
I just didn't expect that after the Yang Chao revived, although natural disasters continued and beasts were rampant, due to the stronger vitality, warriors under the Great Sage sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, almost trying to recreate the ancient scene of Chi County.
Although Wangjing Central is still strong, it does not have an overwhelming advantage over local states, especially some giant states and rich states.
This also made the court's attitude unpredictable.
Some people understand this, while others do not.
The former is him, and the latter is the Huaihou of Taizhou...
Compared with the latter, as the Shuhou Mansion located in Yizhou, its status is more subtle.
Because compared with Taizhou, Yizhou is not on the same level in terms of territory or martial arts prosperity.
In fact, if Chen Tianxi, the governor of the state, had not become confused for some unknown reason, and personally led a large army to besiege Landuo County, and performed martial arts with the soldiers at the foot of Lando Mountain, creating a situation of opposition to the Buddhist dynasty, so much so that the imperial court sent people to patrol, Xiang Qisheng might still be there He was the wealthy prince who spent all day as a guest in a brothel, took concubines and gave birth to children for half a year, drank wine and had fun, and shouted, "I am happy in Yizhou, I don't think about Shu."
But now, times have changed, and now he relies on the imperial court to control the two forces of Buddhism and Dynasty. With a lot of coaxing and fighting, he not only takes over the political power of one of the three roads in the state, but also controls three of the six silver armies of Zhou Shengjun in Yizhou. With great power in hand, even in these troubled times, looking at Kyushu, there is still a place.
It's just a pity that Yizhou's situation is special. He tried his best and could only go so far.
unless……
"His Royal Highness the Marquis of Shu!" Zhou Xiaojue, dressed in mysterious clothes, with an ape's back and a wasp's waist, and a red silk scarf hanging on his shoulders, stepped into the courtyard.
As the governor of the three states, he was in charge of patrolling the three states of Yi, Shu and Yan. At this time, his status in Yizhou was very transcendent.
It is also true that after the disputes between the Buddhist dynasty and the Buddhist dynasty temporarily subsided, the mansion where he lived would have a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every seven days. Everyone with status and status in Yizhou would come to visit or invite him by letter.
It can be said that he is a true gentleman who has no business dealings with him and talks and laughs.
Little leisure.
"I wonder what Brother Xiaojue's instructions are?" Xiang Qisheng smiled slightly, his attitude was very gentle, and he did not have the recent behavior of being the most powerful person in Yizhou.
The magnanimity makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"The Jiudu battlefield has undergone military parade inspection again. Everything is normal. However, the battle situation is still anxious. Just in case, a new round of recruitment orders are being drafted. At the same time, the Hai Clan has notified them."
Zhou Xiaojue said softly.
"As for the Chongbei Plain, the first round of autumn harvest is going on normally, but over the Tai'a Mountains..."
"It's just gangrene of the bone."
Xiang Qisheng shook his head, flipped his hand, and the black halberd on the ground danced in the black wind, and he held it behind him, "It's time to evacuate the area around the Tai'a Mountains, do a good job of settlement and relocation, and at the same time send experts into the mountains to kill the beast king. These beasts, if they were not concerned about the few old beasts in the mountains, should have been killed long ago. But now it is because of the disaster in the past in the Chongbei Plain that they have been making trouble recently...",
"right
Okay, brother Xiaojue, how have you been doing with your inquiries into the previous land and sea festivals these days? Are there any clues under the Alienation Order?"
He looked at the person in front of him expectantly.
"Not yet." Zhou Xiaojue said calmly. 「
However, the alienation order is indeed not bad. Although the alienation martial arts has great advantages, the side effects are still obvious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a left-handed magic skill.
Recently, there are very few stories about alienated warriors turning into demons. "
"This... is good. This move is better to block it than to block it. It is said that the alienated martial arts is easier to achieve if the true king defeats the great sage. Whether it is blind indulgence or blind prohibition, it is not a good thing." Xiang Qisheng was slightly disappointed, but soon He smiled.
Zhou Xiaojue saw the change in mood from expectation to disappointment, but in the end he did not reveal the hidden clues pointing to the secret contact between the state pastor Chen Tianxi and the Xinfa people on several occasions.
"There are three important things about Yizhou. One is the Jiudu battlefield, the other is the friendship between the Hai clan, and the third is the alienated martial arts. If the relationship between the three can be clarified, the situation will be peaceful."
He said solemnly.
"Indeed, the three things are nothing more than internal and external troubles in Yizhou. If they can be solved, everything will be stable." Xiang Qisheng smiled.
"It's just that the situation in Yizhou is so big that I can't help but be confused by the authorities. After all, we need the instructions from the imperial brother to maintain stability and win."
"His Royal Highness the Marquis of Shu has given you too much praise. Before leaving, His Majesty personally said that the Marquis of Shu will make the final decision on matters in Yizhou, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhou Xiaojue replied.
"Hahaha, brother Xiaojue is really a wonderful person."
Xiang Qisheng hugged the former and gently stroked his back.
The two of them quietly communicated about recent events, giving opinions from time to time and discussing decisions with each other.
After more than half an hour, the servant reminded him to have dinner, but Zhou Xiaojue said he had already been invited and left.
After he walked out of the mansion, Xiang Qisheng was left alone in the martial arts arena.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the gentle afterglow fell, but his face was gloomy and indifferent, without a trace of the smile before.
"With our help, he should have found some clues, but he didn't say..."
A thin voice said.
Not far away, an old man appeared. His hair was gray, but his skin did not look old. Instead, he looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, very rosy.
The gray hair was combed into three small pulls and tied with three small red flowers, which looked very out of place.
This person is the guest minister and master of the Shuhou Mansion, whose name is unknown to ordinary people.
However, thirty years ago, his reputation was all over the world.
His name was Yuan Shikong, and he was nicknamed Honghua King Kong.
"In addition, whether it is political affairs, Huang Taishi's disciple Huang Wuji intentionally or unintentionally hindered us, and the young prince of Yingwuhou took charge of the military and was in charge of the army alone. During the period when Chen Tianxi was behind closed doors At that time, I presided over the matter of Su Feng, which also had an impact on our next step."
"This is normal. Zhou Xiaojue and others came down to maintain stability and weaken Chen Tianxi's power. The latter is also the state pastor and military leader. He is so popular. If we are ignored, Yizhou will change from Chen to Chen. What's the difference between my surname and Xiang?" Xiang Qisheng said calmly.
"Master Marquis, we have been planning for so long. If we don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be rare in the future..." Yuan Shikong couldn't help but say.
"I know." He was interrupted before he finished speaking, but Xiang Qisheng remained calm.
"What about us now?" Yuan Shikong scratched his gray hair and asked.
Xiang Qisheng understood the other party's thoughts. As a prince of Shu, he was the best in the world in terms of strength and status.
Behind him and under his command, there are too many masters gathered, all with the simple goal of fame and fortune.
Previously, there was Landuo Temple, and the state pastor Chen Tianxi was under pressure. Now the situation was reversed. Seeing hope, he naturally pushed him forward with all his strength.
This is the general trend.
so……
"Follow what we have investigated and continue to explore. When everything comes to light, even if Zhou Xiaojue wants to maintain stability, he will not be able to do so."
Only then will the gold medal that has yet to be released and been forgotten by everyone really come into play.

Tai'a Mountains, core area.
Manlang Mountain.
The huge mountain, towering in the shape of a spindle, is not located on the ground, but is suspended in mid-air.
Below, a large green river that is almost an ocean flows through.
The mountain is suspended steadily on it.
This is a wonder that can only appear in the Tai'a Mountains.
As the mountains closest to the Ten Thousand Bones Forest in the realm, they are most affected by the Yang tide. They have many strange places and contain all kinds of unspeakable opportunities.
It is rumored that some people even saw the top ten divine objects in the Tiancai Scroll in the mountains, which temporarily attracted people to explore.
However, in addition to magical medicines and spiritual objects, there are countless terrifying mountain beasts deep in the Tai'a Mountains.
At this time, on Manlang Mountain, the roars and cries of beasts that should have been there were nowhere to be seen, and only clusters of blood shadows flashed across the ground.
On a high platform in the mountain, there is a strong man wearing leopard-print pants with his upper body exposed.
Its muscles are extremely developed, but its upper body is very uncoordinated compared to its lower body. The former is nearly five times the size of the latter.
"Are you sure Tu Fang asked me to help you? Didn't he just ask me to move mountains?
They didn’t move over there, but now they’re going to cause trouble, I really don’t know what that guy is thinking!”
The man looked quite puzzled. He looked at the rolling eastward river at the foot of the mountain. When he raised his head, the muscles in his back suddenly bulged, and dozens of meat pillars grew out and penetrated directly into the mountain.
Soon, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face, and he even moaned with pleasure.
The main lineage of Heishan is the path of Yusen, but it is special, and it also cultivates the path of the mountain.
Double-vein cultivation, the three steps of Dong Ming are perfect, and the strength is unparalleled in the same realm.
If he is allowed to carry the power of the mountains, even if Dong Ming's four steps are in front of him, he can still protect himself and escape from death!
As long as you take one more step, you will be able to transform into an immortal, achieve the immortal status, and be ranked as the Taoist ancestor. Then you can truly overlook all living beings, step on the outer sand world, and truly enjoy the worship of all living beings.
However, this step may sound easy, but it is extremely difficult.
Normally speaking, even if the true spirit is immortal and is not transformed into the Dao of Heaven and Earth, it will have to be reincarnated dozens of times before it can gather the required luck, which is extremely difficult.
Therefore, it is naturally the best choice to enter the vast world and seize luck.
What's more, according to the current situation, the struggle between the realms is about to end, and the time when the two heavens meet is about to come, so he naturally takes the initiative to ask for help and come from the lower realm.
In Huaizhou Luchenzhong, he had already used great force to suppress one party and proved himself.
Coming to Yizhou now is a reflection of reuse.
"You two little guys, are you sure that Tu Fang asked me to take action?" The Elephant King sat comfortably on the stone platform, narrowed his eyes and said lazily.
The flesh tube behind him is connected to the earth and is constantly squirming, as if it is sucking.
"This matter must be true. No matter what, I would not dare to deceive Lord Xiang Wang."
Black Jade Saint took a step forward, blocked the somewhat hesitant second brother Chiyu, and said respectfully.
"Haha, I'm sorry you don't dare, but you have to think carefully. If you really deceive me and get discovered by me, you two will suffer the same consequences...
Don’t you think so? Little one?”
The moment the words fell, the man's neck instantly stretched, his rough face came directly in front of the black jade saint, and he laughed.
To outsiders, the thick and long neck looks like a python, and the shape is very weird and terrifying.
"It was originally planned that Wanyi should have made some moves, but for some unknown reason, the matter that had been planned for a long time fell silent.
Master Tu Fang privately said to open a gap in other places, I... every word is true!"
The Black Jade Saint lowered his head and whispered.
"Oh, I said it privately." The Elephant King said thoughtfully.
The next moment, his neck retracted instantly.
"Since this is said in private, if you want to do it, do it yourself and don't bother me! Lao Xiang still needs to evaluate this
The beautiful mountains and beautiful peaks in Fanghua Waidazhou don’t have time to fool around with you!” the man said impatiently.
"The duty of my two brothers is to cultivate the ancient tree of flesh and blood and give birth to blood beasts. Now they have basically passed the infancy stage. However, this thing should be used in the future to combine with the Thousand Feather Tree to hold up the sky... If it is used at this time, I am afraid that something will happen. ...What a real delay in important matters!" The Black Jade Saint sighed softly and said uneasily.
"Having entered the growth stage so soon?" The Elephant King was slightly startled. The area in Huaizhou that he was responsible for was still about the same after such a long time, but the area here was so much slower that it was almost a stage faster.
The black jade saint didn't say anything, he just held his hand, and in his palm was a blood egg the size of a bun.
It's stirring as if it's alive.
The Elephant King looked a little foggy and looked much better. He straightened up and said, "Since we are almost in the growth stage, it should be the same with or without me, so it shouldn't be a problem. After all, the gathering of blood beasts cannot be stopped except by true masters. "
"Normally speaking, this is indeed the case, but in this mountain range, there have been many masters at some point. Among them, there are a few strange new martial arts warriors with a relatively low level. They have escaped from our hands.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens...
..." Black Jade Saint said frankly.
This major event was purely his own initiative, and it didn't matter if nothing happened. If something happened, he couldn't afford it, but if King Xiang joined in, it would be different.
At that time, he changed his words and went to Tu Fang in person to say that everything would be perfect if both sides were harmonious.
He can also use this great merit to help his brother resurrect in advance.
"Is there a new law?" The Elephant King was stunned, "What's so strange about this?"
"He has the aura of immortality hidden in him." The black jade saint whispered.
"The Immortal Lineage? That is indeed a bit strange. Normally it should be in Huaizhou or Yuzhou. This is not the missionary place they planned!" The Elephant King moved slightly in his heart.
The new law warriors in this world are almost perfect thugs for them.
But that's a case of the same vein.
"Please tell me carefully."
He was immediately interested.
The Black Jade Saint was overjoyed. He never expected that the person he met accidentally while fishing before would be of such use.
