Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 643: Entering Yizhou for the second time

Through their subtle perception of the way of heaven, the Qin sisters were vaguely aware that there might be some unknowable changes in the world, and they were definitely in a bad direction that was contrary to the way of heaven. But this is just a mysterious meaning. You cannot judge any specific matter through such an image. You can only guess from the direction closest to this clue.

This is the so-called secret.

The deceitful secret method of the Deception Sect is basically this kind of virtue, and the accuracy is not high. However, the secret method of the Deception Sect may be more specific, such as giving you some vague hints.

Strictly speaking, this kind of secret is useless because there are too many possibilities for explanation.

It's not as good as Xue Mu's logical reasoning through various different information.

He had long felt that something was wrong, and the ominous feeling came from Xu Jing.

Xu Jing's resistance in the capital was about zero. This was by no means that he had no resistance. With his historical calculation power, it was impossible not to guess that Xue Mu would use people from the same source on both sides to deliberately expand the trouble and make trouble worse. The Jingtian Sect couldn't stay any longer, but he didn't do anything.

Even if he focuses on integrating and absorbing people from the six realms, he doesn't put his energy here. But after discovering that something was wrong, he had enough ability to make up for it. With his magical skills of deception, there is no problem in continuing to work in the capital. Maybe it is possible to deceive the victims of all parties into calling them brothers. The master of the Bullying Sect definitely can Such ability.

But he did nothing. In the early stage, he just sat back and watched Xia Houdi enforce the law. Later, he didn't know whether he deliberately allowed himself to expand the situation and viciously cheated Ji Wuyou.

Ji Wuyou must be very annoyed, but now is not the time for him to fall out with Xu Jing, so he can only rush Xu Jing out of the capital early and take the next step.

This made Xue Mu couldn't help but doubt whether Xu Jing was on his side?

It is absolutely impossible, there must be more conspiracies behind it.

Jingtian Sect's entry into Yizhou was a step-by-step move. Xue Mu dared to say that it was definitely not Xu Jing's true intention. He and Yue Xiaochan rushed to Yizhou without even staying a day. They also had a sense of urgency and planned to judge what their true thoughts were by looking at the initial actions of the Jingtian Sect.

………

Yizhou is northwest of the capital and west of Lingzhou, so the distance is very close. The two left Beijing in the morning, flew all the way, and entered the territory of Yizhou in the evening.

This was the second time Xue Mu came to Yizhou. At that time, he went straight to the Xinyizong Mountain Gate and didn’t pay attention to the scenery along the way. In fact, there was nothing to pay attention to. Yizhou at that time was a mess, with things everywhere. Burning, killing, looting, and smoke were everywhere, and nothing could be seen.

When I entered Yizhou this time, I originally thought that the past year would be somewhat stable, but unexpectedly it was not much better.

Xue Mu's first reaction was deserted.

A few hundred miles to the southeast is the capital, the most prosperous place in the world, which is extremely prosperous. But just a few hundred miles away, it feels like the west wind is still, hundreds of miles of desolate land, and occasionally dilapidated villages can be seen, which have been abandoned for a long time.

The land everywhere was also dead, overgrown with weeds, and foxes were scurrying in the weeds, disappearing without a trace.

"Yizhou's chaos caused many people to die, and many people moved their families. Now there are many people in Lingzhou who migrated from Yizhou." Yue Xiaochan slowed down and explained in a low voice: "Since then Since then, the population of Yizhou has almost halved, and the war is still going on this year..."

"Well..." Xue Mu was very aware of the changes in this. He was behind the war in this year. The Tiger Clan rose in the east of Yizhou, and it was basically the Xingyue Sect that supported it.

It's not that he caused the year of fighting. Without his participation, Yizhou would have spontaneously fought among the heroes until they were unified. It is the law of heaven that after a long period of separation, they will unite.

In fact, Tiger Gate's expansion pace is very small. Its power is limited to the eastern corner. It has merged some small and medium-sized sects and occupied some mineral resources. It is now on the defensive and has not started a fight with the other two major forces. After all, Xingtai is not too strong, and the Xingyue Sect's participation has not been openly announced. To have such a foothold and be regarded as one of the three tripartite families in Yizhou now, Xingtai is already very capable.

The ones who really fought the most brutally were the Natural Gate and the imperial court. It would make sense to say that Leng Zhu was rebelling.

But Leng Zhu also had troubles that he couldn't express. He was cheated once in the battle to seize the tripod. At first he thought it was Ji Qingyuan who had torn up the agreement. In addition, the sect suffered heavy losses and the emotions within the sect needed to be appeased and transferred, so he decisively left Yizhou and dispatched the sub-ruler and affiliated sects on a large scale. Occupy the unowned advantageous mineral veins and land in Yizhou to expand the natural resources.

With the strength of the Natural Gate, they occupied one-third of Yizhou's territory in ten days.

It turned out that Ding was not tricked by Ji Qingyuan and Ji Qingyuan did not tear up the agreement, so his move was untenable. But no matter how upright Zhengdao is, it would be a bit difficult for him to spit out the meat after eating it, and it would be difficult for him to explain it to his subordinates. What should Leng Zhu do?

If the imperial court can send envoys to have a good negotiation and find Wentian and others to mediate, this matter should be able to be settled by taking a step back. But Ji Wuyou used the Natural Sect's plot to assassinate the Governor of Yizhou as an excuse to anger his father. The Natural Sect was shot while lying down. This time, even the negotiators were driven back by the Natural Sect. Our Natural Sect is the strongest sect in the world. I can’t let you politicians make me round and flat!

As for the people who are qualified to mediate this matter, there have been a lot of changes in the past year, and they also have no good impression of Ji Wuyou, which led to the righteousness of the world to acquiesce in Leng Zhu's move. From then on, the Natural Sect occupied a large area of ​​​​Yizhou and refused to leave. .

It was impossible for the court to accept this result. Originally, Ji Qingyuan's original request for organizing the destruction of the Xinyi Sect was to gain control over thousands of miles of land in Yizhou, which was very important to the court. The Great Zhou Dynasty has developed for thousands of years, and land annexation is about to reach its limit. The traditional superior resources in various places are strongly occupied by the Eight Righteous Sects. It is becoming more and more difficult for the court to find a large area like Yizhou, but it has been given to the Natural Gate. Is the imperial court still playing tricks?

On this matter, the various forces that had always been at odds with each other in the imperial court were surprisingly unanimous. Even Xia Houdi supported Ji Wuyou and asked Huang Yongkun to support Yizhou Wulin and drive out the Natural Gate.

Now the Natural Sect is having a headache. If they really fight against the imperial court like this, it would be a blatant rebellion. He is not Xue Mu. He does not have the prerequisite of being able to get help, and there is a hostile Mo Xuexin in the south staring at his back. How can this be done?

The imperial court did not want a caveman like Leng Zhu to come out and wreak havoc, otherwise the Governor's Mansion would have to be knocked down first, and the imperial court would not be able to control this place at all. So everyone tacitly followed the rules of the martial arts world - those who are strong enough to enter the Dao or above are not allowed to leave, and it is entirely up to the disciples below to fight with the affiliated sects, and the winner or loser has to be recognized.

Yizhou was in raging war, and everything was in a mess. Xingtai's little practice also had the opportunity to rise out of the chaos.

Yizhou, which has been fighting like this for a year, is of course deserted.

Xue Mu held Yue Xiaochan's hand and walked slowly in the deserted fields, sighing softly: "Profit makes people blind. Natural Sect...the sect that transformed grain and benefited the world...where is it now?"
