It is early winter in the eighth year of Qingli.
The rebellion of the Marquis of Chengyang, which shocked the world, came to an end.
The Marquis of Chengyang, who had resisted for several months, led a group of confidants to fight to the death in Linjiang City, and finally committed suicide after running for three thousand miles.
At this point, the Chengyang army collapsed.
The three land gods of the White Lotus Sect, who are known as the Three Saints of the White Lotus, personally went to the scene and quickly gathered the remaining troops of the White Lotus Sect and retreated to the northern border of Yunzhou, returning to the White Lotus Sect's base camp.
The imperial court divided its troops into three groups and swept hundreds of thousands of troops across Yunliang and Qingzhou, continuously encircling and suppressing the remnants of the rebels. At the same time, it allocated most of its military forces to advance towards the northern border of Yunzhou, vowing to completely destroy the White Lotus Sect.
However, when the imperial army rushed to the northern border, they encountered stubborn resistance from the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect was deeply rooted in the northern border of Yunzhou. It also coincided with the onset of winter and early snowfall in Yunzhou. It seemed difficult to completely regain the northern border. In this case, The emperor personally appointed Ji Fu, Duke of Lu, known as the Military God of Great Xia, to take command and rush to Yunzhou.
The war started again,
Ji Fu lived up to his reputation as a military god. He commanded several battles in succession, and directly defeated the White Lotus Sect. The imperial army continued to advance, and the White Lotus Sect came to envoy peace talks.
In the northern border of Yunzhou, the imperial military camp.
In a tent, a large group of people were sitting. These people were all high-level officials involved in the war to regain Yunzhou, including those from the military, those from the Qin Tian Jian, and those from the six imperial ministries.
At this time, sitting in the main seat was a gray-haired old man with a stern face and wearing a suit of armor. Just sitting there, he was not angry or intimidating, creating a strong sense of oppression.
This person is Ji Fu, the coach of this Yunzhou battlefield.
In addition to being the Duke of the country, Ji Fu was also related to the Ji family of the current royal family. The fact that he would be in charge this time was also the result of a game between all parties.
The first person on the lower left side of Ji Fu is a rather handsome middle-aged man, who looks a bit gloomy. This man is the supervisor of the army - Pingjin Marquis Lu Chang.
The identity of the Marquis of Pingjin, Lu Chang, is not simple either. He is both the nephew of the current Queen Mother and the brother of the current Queen. He is also known as Lu Guojiu, and he is also the head of the Lu family, one of the three powerful families today.
The first person on the right is Zheng Qin You, the supervisor of Yunzhou Qintian Supervisor.
Speaking of which, although Qin You's status is not low, he is not even inferior to these two. However, because of the success of the death plan, everyone knows that Qin You, as the executor, will definitely be in the spotlight in the future, and even has It is rumored that the emperor is already preparing to let Qin You return to the capital to take up the post of Taiwei, ranking among the three Dukes.
At this time, in addition to these three people, there were some officials in the camp. They were all people with very high status, and, without exception, they were all confidants of these three people.
Ji Fu looked at the letter on the table and said, "Have you all read it?"
Supervisor Lu Chang nodded slightly and said: "The White Lotus Sect is willing to withdraw from the northern territory, but it requires the imperial court to give them a place to settle down in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"I think they are just talking nonsense!" Ji Fu snorted coldly and said, "They had a lucky escape during the siege of the White Lotus Sect more than ten years ago. This time they even thought of negotiating directly with their noses. They also match?"
There was silence in the camp, no one spoke.
Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What, do you have other ideas?"
There was still silence in the camp.
After a while, Qin You smiled helplessly, cupped his hands towards Ji Fu and Lu Chang and said, "My lord, my lord, one of you is a marshal and the other is a supervisor. Such depressing words offend people. , I can only speak for myself.”
As he spoke, Qin You glanced around the crowd and said, "We must consider the proposal of the White Lotus Sect. Although our army is now in full strength, the national treasury can no longer afford it, so it is not appropriate to waste too much time.
Regardless of the reason, Yunzhou has been fighting for three full years, and this year the war between Yunliang and Qingzhou has begun. The court has been unable to bear it. At the moment, it seems that the White Lotus Sect is retreating steadily, but we all know that the White Lotus Sect still has The Three Saints of White Lotus are here, if we really want to chew them off, we will probably have to lose all our teeth.
Second, our top priority now is to recover the
Yunliangqing three states, taking advantage of the serious losses of the Ling family and the Dugu clan, we should restore order in the three states as soon as possible. If it takes too long, no one can guarantee whether the Northern Wei and Southern Jin will cease war and attack us.
We have limited time. We have been preparing to regain the three states for so many years before we found this opportunity. Once the Northern Wei and Southern Jin armistice, they will take advantage of the emptiness of the three states of Yunliangqing and take action. Therefore, it is the best choice not to continue fighting with the White Lotus Sect. .
Nowadays, the White Lotus Sect is over. Entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is just a stronger Jianghu force. Although the Hundred Thousand Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, their own resources are also limited. Even if they have the intention, it will be difficult for them to gain momentum. What's more, What we need is time. When the three states are completely calmed down, the White Lotus Sect will not have another chance to stir up trouble. "
There were whispers in the camp for a while.
When Qin You saw this, he smiled helplessly.
In fact, everyone here is not stupid. They all know the current situation. The imperial court does not have much energy and time to fight against the White Lotus Sect.
It's just that no one wants to say it.
This decision will inevitably be criticized by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty when he returns to Kyoto.
However, Qin You doesn't care.
Qin Tian Jian has the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, so he has naturally offended countless people. Over the years, he has been insulted by the court for a long time, and he has become accustomed to it.
After a while of discussion,
Ji Fu said in a deep voice: "Master Qin, your consideration is very thoughtful, but there is a problem."
Qin You cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."
Ji Fu said slowly: "Speaking of which, this matter was caused by your mistake, Mr. Qin..."
Hearing this, Qin You reacted instantly and said, "Young master, are you talking about Yun Hou Gu Zhan?"
Ji Fu nodded slightly and said: "In order to cooperate with your plan, the imperial court gave Gu Zhanyun the title of Marquis of Zhanyun and the post of general of the army. Originally, at that time, he was thinking that he would be able to control only one martial artist at the peak of martial arts. Fame has no influence, but now, who would have thought that he would break the limits of martial arts and directly capture the entire Yunxi.
Although he has not recruited many troops yet, but simply relying on his influence in Yunxi, it is difficult for anyone to interfere in Yunxi's affairs, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains are in his hands. Now he wants to take the Hundred Thousand Mountains Can he agree to leave it to the White Lotus Sect? In addition, I am afraid that Marquis Yun will also be resentful of the imperial court? "
Qin You chuckled lightly and said: "Young Master is right. This matter is indeed a miscalculation on my part. I didn't expect that someone could really break the limit of martial arts. However, because of this, we need to bring the Hundred Thousand Mountain Mountain Leave it to the White Lotus Sect."
Ji Fu frowned slightly and said, "How do you say that?"
"Check and balance," Qin You said: "Let alone Yunxi, there is no one in the entire Yunzhou who can check and balance Gu Zhan. Now, although he has no thoughts, there is no guarantee that he will not have other thoughts in the future!
Therefore, it is a good thing to let the White Lotus Sect enter Shiwanda Mountain. Everyone knows that the White Lotus Sect has different intentions, and as the Marquis of Yun, Gu Zhan must be wary of the White Lotus Sect for a long time to form a check and balance. "
At this moment, Pingjin Marquis Lu Chang, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly: "Master Qin, have you ever thought about what if Gu Zhan also has a different intention and cooperates with the White Lotus Sect?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the camp became a little depressing, and many people had unnatural looks on their faces.
Nowadays, Gu Zhan is famous all over the world and is at the peak of his popularity. Since he killed Lao Tianshi and Wei Wuya, he has gone from being the best master in the world to being the best in the world.
In this case, if Gu Zhan separatists and cooperates with the White Lotus Sect, the trouble he will cause will be no less than that of the Marquis of Chengyang, or even worse. It will be like raising a tiger to cause trouble.
Qin You smiled slightly and said, "This is my follow-up arrangement. You have never gotten along with this Marquis of Yun, so you don't know his character.
This Gu Zhan is headstrong, loves great achievements, is arrogant and domineering, and is very arrogant. I think everyone has heard of these traits, but he also has another personality, which is to retaliate and kill everyone.
For his character, as long as he makes a big enmity with the White Lotus Sect, there will be nothing left to do.
Now that we can cooperate with the White Lotus Sect, we can only live and die. "
Ji Fu's eyes lit up and he asked, "What are Master Qin going to do?"
Qin You said slowly: "Inform Gu Zhan directly about the White Lotus Sect's request for the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and then invite him to come to the north to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect. He has two choices, one is to come, and the other is to find an excuse to avoid coming.
If he comes, let him serve as the general of the army and lead the army to fight against the White Lotus Sect. In the process, whether he will form a deadly feud with the White Lotus Sect is up to us to arrange... …”
Qin You did not go into details.
However, everyone present could understand that even if Gu Zhan and the White Lotus Sect were restrained, they could secretly promote some deadly feuds, such as letting people close to Gu Zhan die at the hands of the White Lotus Sect.
Qin You continued: "In this battle, we only need to wait until Gu Zhan and the White Lotus Sect have formed a deadly feud, and then we will have a truce in the name of the imperial court being overwhelmed. Unless Gu Zhan can overthrow the White Lotus Sect alone, he will only It can allow the White Lotus Sect to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
After a pause, Qin You said again: "If he doesn't come, we can let the White Lotus Sect enter Shiwanda Mountain openly. Gu Zhan can't find any reason to cause trouble. After all, he didn't come on his own, and we didn't. The White Lotus Sect was successfully annihilated, but unfortunately it allowed the White Lotus Sect to enter the Shiwan Mountain.
As for the White Lotus Sect after they entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains, with Gu Zhan's arrogant and domineering character, all they needed to do was cause them to have some conflicts, and a fight to the death could easily be achieved. "
After that, Qin You raised his hands to Ji Fu and Lu Chang and said, "Two of you, to sum up, letting the White Lotus Sect enter Shiwanda Mountain is indeed a good thing that has the best of both worlds. First, it can calm down Yunliang Qingsan as soon as possible. There are still so many rebels in Qingzhou and Liangzhou today because the White Lotus Sect has not yet been completely defeated. Order can be restored quickly.
The second is to check and balance Gu Zhan. Gu Zhan is indeed a big trouble. At the beginning, I didn’t expect that he could achieve such an achievement. It was a bit like feeding a tiger into trouble, but it’s okay. After all, he is just a common man. After the three states are pacified, he will have no chance to cause any more trouble! "
In the camp, everyone started talking.
After a while, almost everyone agreed with Qin You's decision.
However, Qin You still frowned, looked at Ji Fu and Lu Chang, cupped his hands and said, "Right now, I only have one doubt. I hope that the Duke and the Marquis can give me some advice."
Ji Fu and Lu Chang looked at each other,
Ji Fu said: "Master Qin, please ask me!"
Qin You looked around at the others.
Ji Fu and Lu Chang also understood what Qin You meant, and ordered everyone to leave the camp.
Only Qin You, Ji Fu and Lu Chang were left in the camp.
Qin You cupped his hands and said, "My doubts involve the secrets of the cave, so I need to shield others."
Qin You took a deep breath and said: "Young Master, Marquis, I know that there are restrictions on the land gods in the Cave Heaven Realm, so they generally do not appear in the world. However, Gu Zhan has no restrictions, and he has already killed three land gods. He is an immortal. Even in a head-on confrontation, he killed two land gods. One of them is said to be a land god who has been released from the cave. So, I want to ask, is this Gu Zhan really invincible?"
Ji Fu and Lu Chang looked at each other, and both chuckled.
Ji Fu looked at Qin You and said, "Forget it, with Master Qin's contribution to the court now, it doesn't matter if I tell you some things about the cave."
Qin You cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."
Ji Fu said slowly: "The world only knows that above the supreme masters are the land gods of the Cave Heaven Realm, but few people know that the Cave Heaven Realm is also divided into strong and weak realms, and the difference between each realm is very big.
The Dongtian Realm is divided into five realms, which are called the Five Realms of Dongtian. The three land gods Gu Zhan killed were only the lowest realm in the Dongtian Realm. Of course, being able to kill land gods also shows that Gu Zhan is indeed extraordinary, but to say he is the best in the world is to look at the sky from a well! "
Lu Chang nodded and said: "If I don't talk about anything else, let's just say that in the two battles between Gu Zhan, neither Lao Tianshi nor Wei Wuya used their great magical powers. I don't know whether it was because the great powers of Sword King City were lost, or whether they didn't. Learn, if the two of them use great magical powers, Gu Zhan may not have the chance to become the so-called number one in the world."
Qin You was stunned and asked: "What realm of land gods are the Three White Lotus Saints?"
Ji Fu said slowly: "The Three Saints of White Lotus are all land gods of one realm and two realms, but the White Lotus Sect has another heritage, and that is the legendary White Lotus Heavenly Mother!"
Qin You was startled and said in surprise: "White Lotus Heavenly Mother? How could she still be alive? Wasn't she from more than three hundred years ago?"
Ji Fu nodded and said: "This is what Divine Monk Huaisu of Guangming Temple told me. He said that Our Lady of White Lotus has always been alive, and that the White Lotus Sect has been controlled by Our Lady of White Lotus for more than two hundred years. As for why she is alive No one knows for so long. According to records, the oldest land immortal is only over 240 years old, but if the White Lotus Virgin is really alive, it would be a bit scary!"
Qin You frowned slightly and said, "Is this why the imperial court has never destroyed the White Lotus Sect?"
Ji Fu shook his head and said: "This is not the point. The main reason is that land gods are difficult to kill. Don't be misled by Gu Zhan's killing of land gods. Under normal circumstances, land gods are difficult to kill.
In addition, there are restrictions on the land gods, and few people are willing to fight to the death. For example, the Three White Lotus Saints now have several land gods in our army, as well as the Huaisu Divine Monk from Guangming Temple, who is a land of the three realms. immortal.
But he didn't dare to break into the army to kill the land gods. He didn't know how long the fight would last. If he accidentally entered the restricted state, he would probably be directly surrounded and killed by the army. "
Qin You took a deep breath and said: "Then... Gu Zhan's method of seeing the gods and Wei Wuya's new method of cave heaven..."
Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Now, these two methods are actually in Gu Zhan's hands. It's just because of the war between the three states during this period..."
Qin You pondered: "What do you mean, sir?"
Lu Chang, the Marquis of Pingjin who didn't say much, chuckled and said: "The common man is not guilty of harboring the jade. Now it is a war between the three states, and Gu Zhan has a court status. For the time being, he is relatively clean, but it will be hard to say in the future. , the method of seeing gods is ten times and a hundred times more attractive than Wei Wuya's method, but I don't know how far Gu Zhan can break the limit?
However, even if he could just break the limit of martial arts, it is enough to make the whole world crazy. There are so many warriors in the world, and they are not worried about the lack of numbers but the inequality! "
Ji Fu chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's leave it at that for today!" After that, he looked at Qin You and said, "Master Qin, don't worry, Gu Zhan cannot be invincible."
Qin You cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'm relieved and say goodbye!"
After saying that, Qin You turned around and walked out of the camp.
Watching Qin You leave, Ji Fu suddenly chuckled and said: "This Qin You has become obsessed with the cave heaven realm. Today's plan against Gu Zhan is quite selfish!"
Lu Chang took a sip of tea and chuckled: "Is it not in line with the Lord's wishes? The Lord doesn't want a way to see God?"
Ji Fu smiled and said, "Isn't it the same with Lord Marquis? In other words, who in this world can refuse the method of seeing God?"
Lu Chang shook his head and sighed softly: "Yes, who can refuse the method of seeing the gods? This Gu Zhan is truly a genius, comparable to the Martial Ancestor and the Martial Saint!"
Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "However, few people know that the endings of Martial Ancestor and Martial Saint are not good."
"It doesn't matter," Lu Chang said, "Gu Zhan will definitely leave his name in history, but this son is really a bit evil. Sir, our two families can join forces."
Ji Fu poured tea for Lu Chang and said, "Master Marquis, why don't you tell us how to join forces?"
Lu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ji Fu, and said, "Master, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. Do you really believe that the method of seeing gods was created by Gu Zhan, a young boy in his early twenties?"
Ji Fu was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "It turns out that the Marquis has also thought of this problem!"
Lu
Chang chuckled and said: "Gu Zhan has the method of seeing gods that breaks the limits of martial arts. No one in the world will doubt this. However, if he thinks about it carefully, he has created the method of seeing gods himself. There are too many, and I believe that he has received a terrifying inheritance.
Three thousand years ago, Wu Sheng spent countless manpower and material resources throughout his life to create martial arts. More than a thousand years ago, Wu Zu, in order to integrate martial arts, almost became the enemy of the whole world, read all the classics in the world, and then passed down the master of martial arts in to date.
And in the past few thousand years, there have been countless amazing and talented people, many famous families, and powerful sects who have tried their best to find another path and break the limits of martial arts, but no one has succeeded. Pass.
Gu Zhan, a person with such a low background, without any background and no famous teacher to guide him, relied all on himself to run around and practice blindly. It would be lucky if he didn't train himself into a useless person, but he has reached this level. This is an unimaginable height, which is weird and unreasonable. "
Ji Fu nodded and said, "Yes, I also had this doubt, so I went to investigate Gu Zhan's life. Ever since he woke up from a serious injury and coma in the fourth year of Qingli, he has always been filled with extremely strange things. .
The original Gu Zhan was a useless person with no martial arts talent for more than ten years. Moreover, his personality was also indecisive and he did not dare to kill a chicken. However, overnight, he directly cultivated and crossed several realms, and He became a ruthless man who killed people without blinking an eye. From then on, he almost killed gods when he stood in the way of gods, and killed Buddhas when he stood in the way of Buddha. His cultivation progressed at an alarming rate, and his character became more and more domineering.
What's even more strange is that no one has ever seen Gu Zhan break through. In other words, he has gone from being a person who is not proficient in martial arts to being the best in the world of martial arts, but he has never broken through. , as if it came naturally,
Maybe he was a Grandmaster two days ago, but inexplicably became a Great Grandmaster two days later. This situation has happened frequently in the few years since his debut. His cultivation seems to be that he is an extremely powerful monk in his own right. , the same as the step-by-step recovery of cultivation. "
Lu Chang took over the conversation and said: "To be honest with you, when I got this investigation information, I confirmed it again and again. I couldn't believe it was true. Moreover, there is another even weirder thing. I didn't know that you Did you notice?"
"What?" Ji Fu asked.
Lu Chang said slowly: "Gu Zhan can practice martial arts indiscriminately. Even conflicting martial arts can be mastered at the same time on his mobile phone. In addition, what is even more terrifying is that he seems to be able to master any martial arts in a single thought, or It is said that there are no bottlenecks, and, similarly, there is no sign of any breakthrough, yet the cultivation is inexplicably successful! If cultivation is said to be recovering, then martial arts and magical powers cannot be recovering, right?"
Ji Fu nodded and said, "I have also noticed this. The world only knows that Gu Zhan now possesses the method of seeing gods that breaks the limits of martial arts. They covet his method of seeing gods, but they ignore the strange inheritance of this person. This is the real treasure mountain!
A person who can practice any martial arts skill, can turn a person without martial arts talent into a genius with no bottlenecks or upper limits in practice. This inheritance is the real terror and the real unparalleled treasure. "
Lu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's just that I can't imagine what kind of inheritance can be so terrifying?"
Ji Fu said in a low voice: "I was also suspicious at first. I even suspected that Gu Zhan might have practiced some magic skills because he likes to kill people. I have been doubting for a long time whether the magic skills he practiced would be Hui just relies on killing people and practicing blood training to improve his cultivation.
But later, I investigated and found out that he has practiced several martial arts all the way up to now, all of which are righteous techniques. His liking to kill people should just be due to his personality. He is domineering and arrogant.
However, on the contrary, his character also reflects that he should have received a great inheritance. Otherwise, how could he dare to be so arrogant and domineering, making enemies of everyone at every turn? He should know how powerful that inheritance is, so he has nothing to do with it. fear! "
Lu Chang smiled slightly and said, "So, the Lord has made a guess?"
Ji Fu chuckled and said: "I believe that the Marquis and I should have thought of the same place - the Immortal Sect!"
Lu
Chang nodded and said, "Only the legendary immortal sects can inherit this treasure!"
Ji Fu said slightly: "Then, let's join forces!"
Lu Chang chuckled and said, "It's time to join forces. Such a treasure is naturally the home of virtuous people like us!"
