Ling Feng and Chu Lingyue were drinking and chatting about the situation in the capital. First of all, there are the heads of the four princely families, Qi Guogong, Zhao Guogong, Wei Guogong, and Rong Guogong. Each of them is a strong man in the Wuzong, with overwhelming power. Because if you want to fight against the Eight Demonic Sects and even the Seven Righteous Sects, you absolutely cannot do without their ancestors, the four great generals.
There is also the chief arrester of the six gates in the imperial capital, nicknamed the arresting god. This man's martial arts skills are unfathomable. No prisoner can escape from his hands. He is worthy of the title of God Catcher. In addition, there is the Grand Governor who is in charge of the Wulong Division and the Tianxiafu soldiers. Both of them were from the royal family and were more powerful than the four great princes.
There are also more than ten other powerful families whose strength is close to the level of the three major families in Cangzhou. Of course, compared to Ling Feng, it's not worth mentioning.
In addition, there are the princes, among whom the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince are the most competitive to take over the throne. Moreover, the mothers and concubines of these four princes are the deceased queen, Concubine Wei, Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Qi respectively. That's right, the mother of the seventh prince Chu Mufeng is Concubine Qi, the eldest daughter of Duke Qi. What's even more deceiving is that Emperor Chu Ming actually asked Chu Mufeng to preside over this meeting, as if he intended to make him the prince.
Although Emperor Chu Ming had a strong desire for power, he would not establish a prince prematurely. However, the rule of the Dachu royal family is that they can not reign for more than 35 years. Generally, after 33 years, they need to abdicate and enter the Taihuang Palace to practice martial arts. Emperor Chu Ming had been on the throne for more than 30 years, and he abdicated within the past two years. Therefore, this appointment can be seen as a test and temper for Chu Mufeng. Moreover, Chu Mufeng is indeed a genius. At just over 20 years old, he has already practiced the royal secret code "Nine Transformations of the True Dragon" to the fourth transformation and condensed high-grade true energy.
However, this is definitely not good news for Ling Feng. Although he had helped Chu Mufeng in Tianhe Immortal Mansion, there was already some gap between the two. In addition, Ling Feng beat Qi Yunfei and killed Qi Wenhui, Qi Wenbin and his son. The hatred was huge.
And Chu Lingyue is not bad either. Her mother is Concubine Rong, one of the four noble concubines. She is young and has also condensed high-grade true energy. It's a pity that she is a woman and cannot inherit the throne.
The two chatted for a while, and Ling Feng knew that this woman was extremely power-hungry. If the former emperors of the Taihuang Palace were not alive, she would probably try to become a queen. However, this woman didn't know what she was thinking. She knew everything about him and told him everything, as if she was really ready to make friends with him.
After a while, people from Prince Qi's Mansion came to entertain Ling Feng. The King of Qi was Chu Mufeng, who had just been crowned king. He sent someone here at this time, probably because the people from all the factions discussing matters were almost here.
Therefore, Ling Feng clasped his fists and said goodbye.
Chu Lingyue said goodbye with a smile and said, "Come here often when you have time."
…
More than a quarter of an hour later, Prince Qi's Mansion.
Ling Feng followed the palace guards into the hall and saw a group of young masters sitting in the hall. Each one of them was a strong martial artist, and they had at least condensed high-grade true energy. They were basically subordinates of that force. A generation at the helm. The first person sitting in the main seat was King Qi Chu Mufeng. His aura was much stronger at this time, his cultivation was improving, and he was about to break through the middle stage of Wuzong. It seems that the benefits in Tianhe Immortal Mansion have been exchanged for him into a large amount of cultivation resources.
There are ten people on the left and right, they are the younger generations of martial sects from the other six sects and the four major princely families. He knows several of the six sects. Ren Tianxing of Qinglong Palace, Zhao Wuji of Xuantian Dao Sect, Yang Fan of Ziyang Sword Sect, Zhu Chongyang of Holy Fire Sect, Fairy Red Lotus of Baihua Palace, and Yuan Tiangang of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Among the four princely families, he only knew one person, Qi Yunfei, who was slapped in the face by him.
Everyone had different expressions when they saw Ling Feng's arrival. If Chu Mufeng's expression was indifferent, then Qi Yunfei and Yuan Tiangang's eyes were filled with Chi Guoguo's hatred without any concealment.
Ling Feng smiled indifferently and didn't care. He was like an ant, so why bother.
At this time, Ren Tianxing smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, come sit here with me."
Now there was only one seat left behind him, so Ling Feng nodded and sat down directly.
Immediately, Chu Mufeng said: "Now that everyone is here, we can formally discuss it."
Obviously, how to fight against the devil this time will be decided by these twelve forces. As for the Han, Song, Liu, Nangong, Ning family and other sects that don't have a strong King Wu, they probably just have a soy sauce. As for the ordinary county-level forces that don't even have Wuzong, they can only follow orders.
Qi Yunfei said: "First of all, the imperial court is responsible for all the troops, our four major families are responsible for the logistics, and each sect will send a large number of masters to form an army together."
Ren Tianxing sneered and said: "You guys are watching the show in the back, while I go to the front to fight with the Netherworld Palace. What a good idea. Are you out of your mind, or are you still awake?"
It is not easy to cultivate every master. Talent, resources, and time are all indispensable. How can a few resources and troops be comparable.
Therefore, Zhu Chongyang said coldly: "If the imperial court thinks so, there is no need to talk about it. Everyone can just clean up the snow on their own."
Their Holy Fire Sect is in the rear. Even if there is noisy outside Netherworld Palace, the imperial court will be there to support them.
Chu Mufeng smiled and said: "Brother Zhu misunderstood. If you have any plans, you can speak freely and then discuss and decide together."
At this time, Ye Honglian said: "What is there to discuss? We all have the same masters. As for ordinary soldiers, horses, money and food, it will naturally be paid by the court."
"Even so, how many masters should each family produce?"
The speaker was a handsome young man dressed in purple. He was Wei Xuanlang, the son of Wei Guogong and a talented person.
This is to the point. There are fewer masters. They are serving food to the devil. There are too many masters, but I am afraid that the losses will be too heavy and others will take advantage. Bingpo Dao's dismal end is still vivid in his mind.
Immediately, you said something to me, all talking nonsense, trying to save your efforts and let others take the lead.
Ling Feng felt sleepy after hearing this. He stretched out and said, "If we continue wrangling like this, we won't have any results for three to five days. By then, the Tang army had already unified Youzhou and sent troops south."
After hearing this, Chu Mufeng smiled and said: "Brother Chu, if you have any great ideas, you might as well tell him. If it is feasible, I will definitely support it."
Everyone else also looked at Ling Feng, mostly wanting to see the joke and not taking it seriously. It is not so easy to reach a unified opinion among the entangled interests.
Ling Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. According to what Senior Sister Honglian said, each family will produce three strong martial arts masters, and the combat power of each family should be roughly the same. Don't think about using weapons to make up for the numbers. Weak chickens with low-grade true energy. Don’t come out and show your shame. There are five other innate masters and ten masters of refining."
Qi Yunfei immediately said: "In this way, we will produce a total of 36 strong martial arts masters and 60 innate masters. Doesn't that mean that those first and second-rate sects and families will reap the benefits from behind? Don't forget the Bingpo Dao. A lesson learned from the past!”
At this time, Ren Tianxing said: "If you don't have this strength, how can you resist the Eight Demonic Sects such as Netherworld Palace? As for the sects and families at the state and county levels, they also need to contribute, even the third- and fourth-rate family gangs. Each family has at least You have to use half of your strength. If you don’t have this intention, you must be preparing to cling to the devil’s path and should be destroyed!”
"Yes, they need to show at least half of their strength."
Eleven forces expressed their agreement one after another, and the decision was made. Ling Feng naturally had no objection. In this battle, no one can hide and seek, otherwise the imperial court and the seven major sects will definitely come to fight against the outside world, but they must first settle down the inside, and you will be in despair.
