There are one hundred and seventy-three immortal cultivating families, some strong and some weak. The strongest is no weaker than the Jiang family today, but not many decide to fight with the Jiang family to the end.
Most of them chose to give the Jiang family a large amount of resources and then quietly ran away. Jiang Hua can understand the choices of these families.
Although Yancheng is not weak, it is still too weak compared to Chao Kingdom. Although County Weiyan has always emphasized that as long as he survives the most difficult period, the Taoists will definitely come back with revenge.
The Three Great Dao Palace will definitely send envoys to question the monarch. Until then, it will basically be safe.
But when will the messenger from the Three Great Dao Palace arrive?
There are too many possibilities. The Three Avenue Palace sends envoys to question the king. This is just one of countless futures.
Even if this kind of future really happens, Yancheng may not be able to survive until then.
After reading the gift list, Taoist Changkong said with a smile: "To be honest, these resources combined are much more than the wealth of the entire Yancheng today. The funds for the next battle are absolutely sufficient."
The county magistrate Yu was afraid that Jiang Hua would not understand the reason, so he explained seriously: "Young Master, these families are actually quite affectionate and righteous."
"At least they did not choose to betray. Even if they evacuated Yancheng, they left behind a large number of resources and treasures. Many families even left behind their current clan leaders as explanations."
These remaining clan leaders are most likely ready to live or die with Yancheng. When they stayed, they were prepared to die.
Jiang Hua nodded slightly: "The current situation is like this. As long as you don't betray, you can understand it no matter what you do. In the end, our Yancheng is too weak, so weak that many people can't see hope."
Today's king is rejuvenated. Although he is not as good as the first-generation ancestor who founded the Chao Kingdom, his bloodline strength is still outstanding among the second generation.
The people of the Five Dynasties have initially awakened their bloodline, and the blood content in their bodies is very small. Most of them have just initially surpassed the limits of the human body, and they can walk as fast as flying while wearing black armor. In terms of magical power, it is at best the ability to breathe underwater. On the battlefield, only ten soldiers can defeat it, and twenty soldiers can try to surround and kill it.
The fourth generation of scholars, whose bloodline is further awakened, often possesses a completed extraordinary organ. Some have clairvoyance, some have ears for the wind, some have bellies like bottomless pits, and some have invulnerable scales. There has been a qualitative change between the four generations of scholars and ordinary people. Wearing high-quality armor, one person can defeat a small team.
As for the third-generation doctor, he has blood running through his body and condenses the true blood. If necessary, he can even burn the true blood to evolve the true treasure body. He is not considered a human in any way. Sweeping thousands of armies is easy.
As for the second generation prime minister, I can only say that he is strong!
If the monarch alone, along with some personal guards with special abilities, does not meet the main force of Yancheng and concentrates on fighting guerrillas, Yancheng will be gone soon.
This is the deterrence ability of a prime minister!
There are no Taoist priests in Yancheng today!
If so, the monarch would definitely find a way to trick the Taoist priest into going to the capital, and then issue an order to exterminate the Taoist priest. For example, eight hundred years ago, Taoist Tianyan who supported the king's ascension to the throne was treated like this.
"But this is just the surface. In fact, we have a huge advantage!" Jiang Hua said seriously.
"It seems that the monarch trapped Senior Tianyan with a trap. In fact, the monarch himself is trapped in the capital at the moment and cannot move."
"The four major clans of Chao Kingdom, Zhang, Li, Wang, and Hu, the Zhang family and the Li family have been inherited for tens of thousands of years and have always stood firm. Therefore, they will not participate in this extermination."
"It is uncertain whether the Wang family will participate. The only one who will definitely participate is the Hu family, which has just restored its ancestral prestige in recent years. However, the Hu family was almost wiped out two thousand years ago and is not strong now."
"The others are many doctors. It's okay for those doctors to take the opportunity to grab money, but it's impossible for them to fight us with their old money!"
Anyway, from Jiang Hua's point of view, today's Yancheng is not as dangerous as it seems on the surface. As long as he stays alive, has a firm will, and is united internally, he can persist for ten or eight years.
Seeing Jiang Hua analyze the situation so confidently, County Chengyu only felt that the death of the first doctor Yan had changed Jiang Hua too much.
"My dear nephew, a great disaster is coming!"
Listening to the sounds outside, Jiang Hua frowned directly to express his dissatisfaction. Near the mourning hall, people were shouting and yelling without even observing the most basic etiquette.
No matter who this person is, Jiang Hua doesn't like it.
"My dear nephew, when I and Brother Yan studied Taoism together in Dongkaido Palace, I must not see you fall into the abyss now. Repent now, it's not too late."
"My nephew, I am doing this for your own good! The monarch's Taoist extermination order states very clearly that even if you have a close connection with the Taoist in the past, as long as you are willing to make a cut with the Taoist now, you will be pardoned. The monarch is so kind, my nephew You must not be deceived by these villains!"
After several words, the guest finally arrived at the entrance of the mourning hall. He was wearing an authentic scholar's mourning dress. There was no dust on the mourning dress, and his gestures were completely like a scholar's.
"It turns out to be Senior Uncle." Jiang Hua said calmly.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you join the nobles a long time ago? We parted ways back then, why are you here?" Taoist Changkong had a disgusted expression on his face.
"Changkong, I just parted ways with you back then, but Brother Yan and I have always maintained our friendship. Over the years, Yancheng's foreign trade has been thanks to me!"
This scholar is now named a celebrity in the district. Decades ago, he was also a Taoist. At that time, he also went to Donghai Taoist Palace to seek Taoism, and he was considered good friends with Jiang Yan and Changkong at that time.
Later, Jiang Yan's father died fighting demons. Jiang Yan stopped his studies and returned directly to Yancheng to inherit the family business, while Ou Liu chose to completely fall in love with the nobility.
Therefore, Ou Liu, who did not have a surname at that time, was given the Ou surname and bloodline by the Qing clan, and completely became the bastard of the nobles.
Since then, Taoist Changkong has parted ways with him.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, continued to maintain friendship with Di Liu for some purpose, and even let Di Liu act as a buffer for Yancheng and many nobles.
There is a township outside Dashi Pass. It was originally a jungle, but later the district moved there and opened up a township. This township specializes in buying and selling all kinds of materials, and has become a transit point between Yancheng and the outside world. In the past few decades, it can be regarded as making a lot of money.
"Good nephew, the Qing clan is kind. Even if you have killed Sun Tian, the Qing clan is still willing to give you a chance."
"Good nephew, as long as you are willing to destroy Taoism, the monarch will definitely forgive your sins. You have been deceived, and the monarch will definitely take this into consideration. You are different from them, I guarantee it!"
