Although Cheng Yu said that he mainly checked ancient books that had nothing to do with the exercises, but in fact, even if it was books related to the exercises or even secret books, Cheng Yu and several women did not dare to miss anything.
After all, there are so many books. If you don't look carefully, it will be very troublesome if you want to find them next time.
Of course, with their current ability, they can basically remember things they have read carefully.
This time I looked at them so carefully and collected them directly into categories. It will be much easier to find them again in the future.
It's just that such a careful search will naturally take much more time.
But in order to find a way to awaken the bloodline technique, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time.
After all, Cheng Yu spent so much time over the years, but ultimately failed to find a way to awaken his bloodline.
Instead of wasting it all the time, it is better to spend some time and sort out these techniques. Even if it takes a year, as long as you can find useful clues, it will be worth it.
Although Cheng Yu has been searching for ancient books in secret, he has not cut off contact with the outside world.
The ones with the closest ties are those foreign kings who joined the Cheng family.
During this year, the independence faction and the unification faction loyal to the inner dynasty fought countless battles, and the two sides also invaded each other's territory.
Seeing that both sides were evenly matched, the unified faction loyal to the dynasty could no longer stop them.
With such a good situation, they were naturally no longer so afraid of internal conflicts, so they also joined the independence camp.
In the past, it was all about small fights, but now they dare to annex other foreign dynasties in a big way.
In addition, Cheng Yu asked the Bone Army to help them secretly and annex those foreign dynasties, which was even more powerful, and many foreign dynasties became their sphere of influence.
This also secretly made these foreign kings sigh that the Holy Dynasty was too mysterious and powerful.
A force that was originally so powerful as the Outer Dynasty was so easily annexed by them one by one.
Rather than saying that they annexed these foreign dynasties, it is better to say that they picked up a foreign dynasty. In fact, these outer dynasties were conquered by the Holy Dynasty.
Those truly strong men had been killed long ago. They killed them and captured them easily. What's the difference between this and picking them up!
So they believed in the Cheng family even more. After all, he controlled the entire situation from such a far away place. Such a power was too terrifying.
However, they have annexed so many outer dynasties anyway. This is their real gain, at least it is more promising than following the inner dynasty.
On the other hand, although they have all joined the Cheng family, Cheng Yu did not let them raise the banner of unity.
In other words, in front of outsiders, these foreign dynasties seem to be fighting on their own.
But in fact, they communicate secretly through jade slips, and sometimes even cooperate with each other.
So if they reveal all their power, they will definitely be the strongest among the entire independent faction.
However, Cheng Yu did not let them do this. Even in this state, they secretly continued to annex more forces.
What's more important is that their power continues to grow, and there are actually many independent foreign countries who want to form an alliance with them.
Regarding this situation, these foreign kings naturally explained it to Cheng Yu.
The suggestion given by Cheng Yu was naturally to let them form an alliance with these outer dynasties. Anyway, everyone's goal was the inner dynasty.
As a result, their alliance grew bigger and bigger, and the power of the reunification faction became obviously less and less. Many of the reunification faction even saw that the situation was gradually getting wrong, and finally moved towards the independence camp.
Seeing this situation, the elders in the inner dynasty became anxious.
"These bastards, I usually treat them well, but I didn't expect that they would betray us, and also join the camp of those traitors, and annex our power with them!" Second Elder Zhu Huafeng received the following news, and originally Several outer dynasties who were loyal to the inner dynasty betrayed the inner dynasty at the same time, and they were immediately furious.
"The main reason is that those traitors are so hateful. If they hadn't pushed each other step by step, how could these foreign dynasties join the enemy camp?" Third Elder Meng Taining said helplessly.
They never imagined that the evenly matched situation between the two sides over the years would be broken in just one year.
And judging from the current situation, the independence faction is getting stronger and stronger, and their strength is getting weaker and weaker. This is definitely not good news for them.
“After all, it’s because they are not really loyal to us, otherwise how could they betray us so quickly?
Now that they have chosen to betray us, I don’t think it’s all bad! " said the fifth elder.
"What are you talking about? Now that someone has set a precedent, more foreign countries will join their camp in the future, and in the end our camp will only become less and less powerful.
Maybe one day, they will lead people to attack the inner court! "The second elder said dissatisfied.
"Having said that, a disloyal person is an unfaithful person. Even if we force them to stay, does the second elder think they will always be loyal to us?" the fifth elder asked.
"At least if they don't join the enemy camp, the strength gap between us will not become larger." The second elder said.
"Then does the second elder have anything to ask them to stay?"
"Hmph! If I had my way, would I still be so angry?" the second boss said with a face.
"Why should the second elder be so angry? Those who want to stay will naturally stay, and those who cannot, even if you force them to stay, they will leave one day.
Rather than letting them betray us at a critical moment, it is at least better for them to leave now than to stab us in the back and lure the wolf into the house later. "The fifth elder said indifferently.
"I think the fifth elder is right. If we are at a critical moment of war with the enemy camp and these guys betray us, that would be really hateful.
Maybe they will bring enemy troops to our inner court!
Now that they have defected to the enemy camp, everyone will be the enemy from now on. Even if our strength is weakened, it is still better than these disloyal people pretending to be loyal people and hiding among us. "The Great Elder very much recognized what the Fifth Elder said.
"But if this continues, we will control less and less foreign dynasties." The second elder said.
"As the second elder said, if these foreign dynasties cannot be retained, even if they are forced to stay, they are not of the same mind as us, so what's the point? On the contrary, they may harm ourselves.
Now we can only think of ways to reverse the situation and we can no longer let them swallow it so unscrupulously.
Otherwise, it will only shake the military morale of the foreign dynasties on our side, and more and more foreign dynasties will choose to defect to the enemy camp! "The great elder said.
"Yes, it's just that they are getting stronger and stronger now, so we have become passive." Everyone nodded.
"Despite this, we still have to find a way to dampen their spirit, otherwise these guys will increasingly think that our dynasty is at the end of its strength." The great elder said.
Over the years, they have indeed somewhat ignored these foreign countries.
I thought that no one would dare to betray the dynasty, but their thinking was too simple.
It's not that they don't want to betray the dynasty, it's just that the time has not come yet. Now it is precisely because when the time comes, the Holy Dynasty made the dynasty's territory a mess and a mess, thus giving them the best opportunity to betray.
Now the whole world is in chaos, with wars everywhere, which has already exceeded their imagination.
What's even more hateful is that they swore before the Lord that they would find a way to quell this civil strife.
But who would have thought that not only have they failed to quell the war in the past few years, they have actually made the rebels more and more arrogant.
"However, their morale is now high and they are continuously attacking our territory. It is not easy for us to dispel their arrogance."
"Is there any news about the Holy Dynasty?" The great elder thought for a while and then asked.
"I do have some news over there!" Third Elder Meng Taining said.
"Oh? Tell me about it?" The great elder's eyes lit up, and he felt a little more expectant.
"My people sent news that before several independent foreign dynasties annexed our power, there would always be experts from the holy dynasty to attack us in advance.
In the end, those independent foreign dynasties easily seized our territory. I think there is definitely a connection between them. "The third elder said.
"You mean, they are indeed colluding together?" the great elder said with a frown.
They had some controversy before as to whether these foreign and holy dynasties were colluding together.
It's just that they were all speculations at the time, and there was no definite evidence to prove whether they were colluding together.
But if the evidence collected by the third elder is true, then there is indeed a big problem here.
"No wonder their camp is so powerful. The battles in many places are basically one-sided. I am surprised. I have never seen them so powerful before. Now that they have betrayed us, their strength is particularly outstanding.
Now that I think about it, it's true that they colluded with the Holy Dynasty, that's why they successfully won so much territory! "The second elder said angrily.
“But the problem now is that even if we know it, it’s useless. Because they are already on the opposite side of us, even if we want to bring them in for questioning, it’s impossible.
Moreover, there is a Holy Dynasty that is doing something secretly, so we are afraid that our weakness will become more obvious, and we will no longer be their opponent! "The third elder said helplessly.
If you had received such news before, you could have asked them over.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they can force them to tell the truth. But now the situation is very different. Even if they find people, they won't buy it anymore.
“Our dynasty has raised these traitors for so many years, but we didn’t expect that they were the ones who betrayed us first.
Now they are trying to steal our territory, which is really annoying.
I think we can no longer sit back and wait for death. We must send out the power of the internal government to regain the lost territory! "The second elder suggested.
