The summer is hot and the shadows of the trees are dim.
A group of people gradually appeared on the official road. Two beautiful women were clustered around a handsome man. An old man was riding a horse with a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
It was a group of people led by Zhao Huai.
"Your Highness, we will soon arrive at the gate of Nanyu Mansion, and we will part ways at that time."
Song Heqing was riding on his horse, looking at the city in front of him, and sighed.
The separation was imminent, and he was really reluctant to part with it.
"Well, on this trip, you are solely responsible for liaison with Dayan's old department and try to gather reliable forces. Remember, don't tell anyone about my whereabouts."
Zhao Huai's expression was extremely serious.
On the way, after some questioning, he already knew what Dayan's old team had been doing in the past three years.
Most people are hiding among the people and living under other identities. Everyone in Dayan's old tribe is dormant, waiting for an opportunity.
Among them, the one with the most remarkable strength is General Tiger. He is located in Nanyu Mansion and has tens of thousands of troops. They are all the remnants of Dayan. They are scattered in the mountains along the coast, pretending to be bandits.
They are common people during the day and bandits at night.
Between light and darkness, he controls the official roads extending in all directions in Nanyu Mansion, and he controls both right and wrong on the roads. Although he has such power, he is very low-key and does not show his face.
General Tiger is also known as Tiger Cloud Dragon.
He was the most powerful general in Great Yan, and he was born in a noble family. During the reign of the late Emperor, he defeated the foreign tribes in the north. He was awarded a first-class meritorious service and was highly regarded. He was named the Marquis of Chiyang. At the same time, as the right-hand man of the prince, he was the assistant minister left to Zhao Huai. The minister is also the head of the military officials in the East Palace.
Before the battle across the river, he retreated to the natural dangers of the river and defended the most important Tongguan. He held back Daxia's main army for several months. Even Daxia's then-invincible commander-in-chief faced such a defense. , there is nothing we can do, no conspiracy or conspiracy will work.
As a result, the following Daxia took the water route. After a few months of silence, surprise soldiers descended from the sky, bypassed natural dangers, avoided strong forces and attacked weak points, and went all the way to Huanglong.
General Tiger's ability is naturally very strong, but he still cannot withstand the general trend and cannot resist the fall of Yandu.
Yandu fell, and it was useless to hold on to the city. It was only a matter of time before it was defeated. Faced with Daxia's monstrous purge, General Hu could only flee south with his remaining strength and occupy the mountain as king.
The troops were divided into surrounding states and counties and hid themselves.
The reason why Song Heqing and others were captured by the monsters in Black Wind Cave was to meet General Tiger.
After listening to Song Heqing's narration, Zhao Huai was still a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect that after the demise of Great Yan, there would still be so many people thinking about their old friendship.
In Zhao Huai's memory, there were really not many people available in the Donggong Mansion.
There are aristocratic families in the capital who follow her, monks, scholars, wealthy businessmen who seek refuge with her, and a fiancée from a wealthy family whom she has never met before. It is said that she was a candidate for the crown princess at that time, but she is not known to be dead or not.
After the demise of Dayan, most of them ran away or defected to the Great Xia Dynasty. Basically no one died with the Great Yan royal family and martyred their country.
Not only him, but also his cheap dad who hanged himself.
Dayan was already suffering from a serious illness, and corruption was extremely serious. At that time, he could not even come up with money for military pay, and he could only raise a few thousand through crowdfunding. This is fart!
These aristocratic families don't have money, they just don't want to spend it.
After the Daxia army entered Yandu, they interrogated each one with a knife and found a large amount of silver.
The old man was suspicious by nature and killed many loyal ministers by mistake, leaving no one available.
In addition to General Tiger, Zhao Huai also asked about the situation of other old troops.
Dayan had been a country for five hundred years, and many aristocratic and wealthy families were involved. Among them, there were still some local wealthy families who were well-educated and noble.
In the early days of the country's subjugation, he held high the banner of morality and blamed Daxia.
There were even people who proclaimed themselves kings, claiming to be of the Great Yan bloodline, and then raised troops to rebel. Many people responded, but the authenticity was too low, and the power was too scattered, so they were quickly wiped out and disappeared.
At present, the power of Dayan's old tribe is very weak, and its strength is also scattered.
"Mr. Song, do you think Dayan can succeed?"
When they were about to leave, Zhao Huai stared at the rising sun above his head and asked casually.
His title was also more respectful. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the old man in front of him was worthy of respect.
"Yes, it must be possible!"
Song Heqing was riding on the horse, with perseverance revealed in his old eyes. He said without hesitation: "With His Highness the Crown Prince here, Dayan has hope."
Zhao Huai couldn't help but smile lightly when he heard this answer.
Dayan's old ministry now needs a core, a core that can maintain its strength.
And Zhao Huai is this core, this inner fire.
A single spark can start a prairie fire, let alone a great flame with hundreds of years of foundation?
He could give hope, but that was all.
Other matters, specific actions and planning at every step.
I won't worry too much about it because this is not my expertise.
He could only sit behind the scenes, and other things could only be left to Dayan's old ministers, including Song Heqing.
They rebelled and cultivated themselves as immortals.
It's good to be able to restore the country, but it's okay if he can't. He doesn't expect that this will help him achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
As long as you cultivate your destiny and become an immortal, are you afraid that you won't be able to recover your country?
But how many years had passed before he became an immortal?
By that time, Daxia was probably gone.
"Don't worry, young master, Dayan will definitely be able to restore his country."
Yin Nanyu on the side said lightly, with an extremely determined tone.
"oh?"
Zhao Huai thought a little far and lost his mind for a moment. Hearing Yin Nanyu's answer, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't know why the other party was so confident.
When Yin Nanyu looked at Zhao Huai with her cold eyes, it was no longer so cold, but a little softer. She explained:
"There are three reasons for this. First, the Emperor of Great Xia appointed people from poor families and initiated civil rule, which successfully angered many aristocratic families."
"Secondly, because of the famine in the south, the imperial court reduced a large number of border troops and used the excess food and salary to solve the problem of hungry people. If the foreign tribes in the north learn about this news, they will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely go south to attack the border again. , this move is a great advantage for both the foreign races in the north and Great Yan."
"Third, it is rumored that there is a noble princess in Daxia who is hiding among the people and has not shown up. If she comes forward, I am afraid that Daxia's power will be weakened again."
Yin Nanyu's thinking is clear and logical.
These words made Song Heqing who was standing there look at him with admiration and looked appreciative.
Even Zhao Huai couldn't help but nod.
She is really as clever as Mr. Song said.
This pattern alone doesn't look like a woman.
"Young lady is really a hero among women. She is in a sect and she is very familiar with the current situation." Zhao Huai said with a faint smile.
It's really strange for a monk to know so much about worldly things.
Yin Nanyu saw the confusion on Zhao Huai's face and knew what he was thinking, and immediately added: "Although I am in the sect, I am also from a noble family. At that time, my father was living under the rule of Dayan. He sent me to When the sect was practicing, it was still the Great Flame, but now that we have returned from practicing, it has changed a lot. The former sect is now a wasteland, and it is inevitable that there will be some resentment towards Daxia."
It turns out there is a story in it. No wonder she has good intentions towards Dayan. Whether it is true or not is irrelevant for now, but she is indeed on Dayan's side.
Zhao Huai thought.
"Yes, Miss Yin told me the same thing before."
Song Heqing touched his white beard with a smile on his face.
He had already heard the same story in the Demon Prison.
Yin Nanyu is rich in power and resourcefulness, and she is also a beautiful woman. As a veteran minister, he is more and more satisfied with her and wishes to make her the crown prince now.
But this matter still requires the consent of His Royal Highness.
After successfully dispelling the two people's doubts and improving his status among the Great Yan forces, Yin Nanyu didn't have any surprises in his heart and acted very calmly.
What she said was not false.
It's just more miserable than imagined.
Although she is currently the highest-ranking person in the Raven Cult, except for the Crow Lord, and is in charge of large and small branches and branches, her life was not that easy before she became a saint.
From the perspective of doctrinal rules, a saint is a person who successfully integrated the spirit of a raven when she was young, and possesses considerable bloodline power and extraordinary will.
What is the Raven Spirit and the Supernatural Will?
The Raven Spirit is a symbol that represents the possession of the power of faith of the Crow Immortal. With it, one can use the power of faith to improve one's own cultivation.
At the same time, you can perform raven rituals on other people to make them a member of the cult.
The spirit of the raven is very powerful and can transform the qualifications of mortals. With the blood of the raven, it can achieve extremely fast cultivation speed.
But the price paid is also high. It burns a person's life, and it is irreversible.
Every time a candidate for sainthood is chosen, hundreds of baby girls die, and there is no guarantee that they will succeed.
However, Yin Nanyu managed to survive.
Her silver hair is the best proof.
Those who hold the spirit of the raven must practice diligently to increase their longevity and have amazing perseverance. If they fail to satisfy any of these requirements, they will run out of life and die.
The extraordinary will is the will given by the raven god and the crow fairy.
According to legend, the Crow Immortal is a supreme being that existed in ancient times. However, when facing a major disaster, it will stare at the people or organizations in need of help in the world, send down its extraordinary will, and baptize all living beings.
In this way, you can gain incense in the world and the power of faith.
In fact, it is not just the Crow Immortal. In ancient times, there were other illusory immortals and gods who collected power from the human world through specific sacrifices and buildings, but most of them have died.
Those who are baptized by the extraordinary will will be branded with the soul of the Raven Immortal and will always be loyal to the Raven.
At the same time, it will be given extremely powerful power, including spiritual power, magic power, and the blessing of many abilities of the soul.
After all, not everyone is qualified to obtain extraordinary will. Only those who have passed the test of the Raven Immortal and become the talker of the Raven Sect can have this qualification.
Yin Nanyu knows a lot about rebellion.
With her own blending and help, she is confident that she can lift Da Yan up and compete with Da Xia.
Wait until the time is right.
If he then imprisons Dayan and then eats into the country's destiny, this business will undoubtedly be very profitable.
Just gradually gain their trust.
At this time.
Qiu Yueqing, the exquisite fairy who had been silent all the time, looked at Yin Nanyu. The palms of her hands were covered with a layer of blue-white frost. The next second, the frost subsided and the palms returned to white.
In an instant, it was covered with frost again, and so on, showing her unpredictable mood at this time.
I don’t know why when I saw that Yin Nanyu was favored by Prince Dayan.
She felt a little uncomfortable.
This feeling is like the thing you love most has been taken away.
She only wanted to complete the tasks assigned by her master.
But Prince Dayan didn't seem to be interested in him.
This left her confused and a little at a loss.
When she just came down the mountain and arrived at the Black Wind Cave, the adoring eyes of the male monks around her made her full of confidence.
She felt that dual cultivation should not be difficult.
Even when she was in Linglong Immortal Palace, she was regarded as an idol in the eyes of many junior sisters.
Practicing spells, condensing energy and dispelling spirits, slaying demons and fighting demon cultivators, I am proficient in all of them and am very good at them.
But this feeling
Alas, it’s so difficult.
Linglong Jiuyi can only be effective if two people with double cultivation have clear minds and cooperate.
Otherwise, she would have forced herself to start practicing with Zhao Huai.
Dusk.
Zhao Huai and Song Heqing were temporarily separated.
The two parties agreed that Song Heqing would be responsible for contacting everyone in Dayan's old department. Before that, Zhao Huai still had time to improve his cultivation.
"Master Zhao."
After Zhao Huai saw him off, he just turned around when a slightly resentful voice came from behind him.
He turned his head and found that it was the exquisite fairy Qiu Yueqing in a fluttering plain skirt.
"Fairy, what's wrong?"
"How about I pass on Linglong Jiuyi to you first."
Qiu Yueqing said seriously.
"I told you, I have a family."
Zhao Huai gave a wry smile, but before he could finish speaking, Qiu Yueqing's green jade finger had already touched his forehead.
Regardless of whether Zhao Huai agrees or not, all the content related to Linglong Jiuyi has been injected into Zhao Huai's mind.
Linglong Jiuyi is a dual cultivation method that covers nine levels of cultivation, including mental method, physical cultivation, soul interaction, and luck.
Cultivating to a deep level can nourish the true energy, entwine luck, improve the strength of both people who practice dual cultivation, and even raise the upper limit of their cultivation.
Even if Zhao Huai doesn't want to learn, there's nothing he can do.
He just glanced at it in the sea of consciousness.
A feeling of clarity immediately came over him, allowing him to learn it quickly.
Is this considered a disadvantage of having too much understanding?
Yin Nanyu couldn't help but sneered when she saw Linglong Fairy Qiu Yueqing behaving like this.
"I didn't expect that fairies would sometimes force others to make things difficult for them. This time, they are teaching the skills. Next time, will they be forced to practice together with the young master?"
She followed Song Heqing's instructions and stayed with Zhao Huai as a life-saving grace, which also served as a liaison.
Now seeing Qiu Yueqing being so disobedient to women, she naturally couldn't stand it.
"What do I do that I can control?"
Qiu Yueqing was already dissatisfied with Yin Nanyu, but when he saw that the other party was provoking him, he was not used to his upright temper, so he said coldly.
A coercion belonging to the late stage of Jindan was released, obviously wanting to use his cultivation to crush and cure the opponent.
But when the pressure reached Yin Nanyu, he stopped.
It turned out that Zhao Huai stood between the two of them and resisted the power.
"If you have something to say, please don't do anything. Didn't the palace master say that you can't interfere with worldly affairs? If something like this happens again, please ask the fairy back."
Zhao Huai put down his palm and said in a serious tone.
Although he does not have the golden elixir realm, his mental strength is blessed by the Three Flowers Gathering and the National Fortune. The pressure of the golden elixir can still be resisted. Moreover, Fairy Linglong did not use all her strength and just wanted to punish the opponent.
After all, Fairy Linglong's strength was much higher. She passed on the technique without her own permission, and she dared to suppress her own people without showing any mercy.
Sure enough, when Qiu Yueqing heard what Zhao Huai said, his pretty face suddenly panicked.
She looked at Zhao Huai pitifully and said softly:
"I was wrong, please don't tell Master."
Yin Nanyu stood behind Zhao Huai, curling up the corners of his mouth and narrowing his eyes in a smile, obviously very proud.
"This is natural, as long as the fairy stays calm."
Looking at the two women on the left and right, Zhao Huai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
One's strategy is astonishing, the other's strength is astonishing.
His current team in Dayan is really full of talents, and he has found bodyguards and military advisors.
