Chapter 217 Multi-party conspiration before the war

Since the pacification of the South. The territory of the Great Song Dynasty was connected into a single area, covering hundreds of millions of miles, billions of trillions of people, and the evil demons retreated from the righteous path of Changlong, and the monarch Zhao Kuangyin was benevolent and loving the people, and was a corporal of courtesy; he governed the country with internal diligence and frugality, reduced the use of the inner palace, rectified the administration of officials, raised high salaries, maintained honesty, and used the money saved and earned to build water conservancy and pave roads, lightly and lightly reduce the burden on the people; externally, it strengthened armaments and armed forces at the same time, firmly grasped the military power, abolished many redundant officials and redundant troops, and selected elite troops to garrison the border to prevent foreign invasions.

Since the south has been pacified, the civil strife in Xizang has not yet subsided, Dali is weak in national strength, and the soldiers and people are weak. Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty was able to transfer most of its elite troops from the southwest, and several major forces were stationed on the northern border to guard against the greatest enemy, the Liao State established by the Khitans.

However, it may be that the losses caused by the national strength and growing strength of the Great Song Dynasty and the domestic civil strife are too great, so the Liao State has not sent troops to the south on a large scale, and the only two heavy troop gatherings have finally been confirmed to be the Liao Emperor's parade and hunting team.

And the Northern Demon Sect, the backer of the Liao State, has not taken the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty due to internal problems (the opposition of the Elder Chang Yuqiu) and the scruples of the alliance of many sects in the Song State. However, he still sent sporadic small teams, each led by an elder of the Void Period or the Transformation Period, occasionally sneaking into the territory of the Song State to attack those small and medium-sized sects that had defected to the Song State, but it also caused some chaos, which made the Great Song Xiuzhen Realm scramble for a while, until more masters were sent to intercept it, and they also entered the Liao State to retaliate, and then gradually calmed down.

However, these are all things that were secretly born in the cultivation realm, and they still don't have much impact on the mortals of the Great Song Dynasty. In general, since the pacification of the south, under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin and a group of virtuous ministers, the Great Song Dynasty has flourished, and the chaos of nearly a hundred years since the Tang Dynasty has ended. The country is rich and the people are strong, and the prestige is spread overseas, and it has entered the beginning of a prosperous era, becoming the first power in Middle-earth.

In the majestic palace of Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty in the twentieth year of Jianlong, in the Zichen Palace, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair in the depths of the hall, his eyes were wide open, his hands were sealed, and he breathed deeply. He was the only one in the hall with a radius of several hundred meters, and his chamberlains and ministers all knew that he hated the disturbance of others the most when the emperor was practicing. If someone bothers recklessly, although the emperor is not thirsty for killing, a punishment is inevitable. There was once a eunuch who relied on Zhao Kuangyin's favor to enter to deliver tea when he was practicing, but he was stunned by the momentum in the hall, and after waking up, he was cut off of his identity in the inner room of the palace. He did a very hard job.

After 20 years as an emperor, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes: the original heroic and majestic atmosphere has become today's deep and graceful atmosphere, sharp and compelling, like unsheathed swords, his eyes have become deep and unfathomable, as if two bottomless deep pools hide infinite secrets, making people feel like they are trapped at a glance.

A bright yellow dragon robe added to his body, which added a sense of sacredness to him, and the chic palace refracted the sunlight from the outside world many times, shining in the faint halo of his body, the golden dragon on his body seemed to come to life and swam around, if anyone can see this scene, they will definitely sigh that it is really the true dragon emperor.

The only thing that hasn't changed is his tiger-backed body and powerful limbs. This is the foundation he has laid for many years of learning art with Yunlong, and it will not change lightly; although he is busy with state affairs now, he still spends two hours a day to practice martial arts. As he became the emperor and the country became stronger day by day, the dragon energy in his body became stronger and stronger, and he cultivated the ancient imperial martial arts of "Martial Emperor Dragon Fist", which was even more handy and advanced.

As he exhaled, a thick stream of golden air erupted from his mouth, circling around his body before being inhaled by his nose. And his body is constantly stretching and contracting in this exhale, refining the muscles, bones and flesh and blood, making the body stronger. A thunderous sound came out of him. Shaking the entire hall, ripples appeared visible to the naked eye in the air, which was the "Neifu Thunder Sound" that could only be refined by mastering ** to an extremely high Cheng dù. Practicing this method can constantly activate the blood veins, exercise the meridians, flesh and blood, reduce the vitality of the physical body to an extreme, and live up to three Jiazi (one hundred and eighty years old), and can have the combat power equivalent to that of a cultivator in the god transformation stage.

Since the Holy Emperor, due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, the emperor has not been able to cultivate immortals, and can only use exercises or pills to delay aging in order to achieve immortality, but there are many people like Zhao Kuangyin, who may live for three Jiazi, which can be described as rare. This also has a lot to do with the foundation he laid when he was a child, and the royal martial arts of cultivating "Martial Emperor Dragon Fist" with the founding ancestor and the strongest dragon qi.

After half a ring, Zhao Kuangyin finished his last breath, slowly closed his eyes, and scattered the handprints. After a while. His eyes opened again, and two rays of light two feet long shot out of his eyes like lightning. Zhao Kuangyin felt the situation in the face, and the reality increased slightly, and nodded with satisfaction. It is not easy for him to grow at this point, and this time he can have a small increase, which is not unrelated to his diligent governance and making the country prosperous, and he is already very content.

Today's two-hour cultivation has been completed. He stood up, moved his body, pondered for a moment, and shouted, "6 Ren!" This is a celebrity who is a personal eunuch of his, very knowledgeable, always on call, and will not disturb his practice.

"Long live my emperor when I see him, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" A young eunuch in his twenties, with a delicate face, walked in from outside the door with small steps, and began to kowtow when he was still ten meters away from Zhao Kuangyin, "What are the instructions of the emperor?" 6 Ren asked immediately after kowtowing.

"Go and summon Liu and Prime Minister for me, and he will come as much as he can. "Liu He is very old, and he is the former lord of the Later Han Dynasty, with outstanding prestige, even if Zhao Kuangyin is now the emperor, he has great respect for him, and he wants to say a "".

"It's 陛xià. 6, Ren saw that Zhao Kuangyin had no other instructions, immediately got up and retreated to the door, and then walked like the department of the eunuch in charge of transmitting messages, he was a personal eunuch, and he needed to accept orders by Zhao Kuangyin's side at any time, and this kind of transmission only needed to be handed over to his subordinates. As he walked, he was still thinking: "This time, His Majesty the Emperor actually wants to summon Prime Minister Liu Lao, not only to discuss some important matters?"

You must know that since the pacification of the south, Liu He has resigned and retired, and the affairs of the court and the army have been handed over to his two sons, Liu He and Liu Wu, while he himself has cultivated himself at home, and has not been actively involved in national affairs for a long time. Now that Zhao Kuangyin is so solemn, he has come here, this is a signal: something big is going to happen!

After ordering someone to go to Liu He, Zhao Kuangyin paced in place twice. Finally made up his mind, the true qi of the whole body clapped his hands lightly, and the applause just fell, and a yin wind blew through a black-clothed person, as if jumping out of his shadow, this person was dressed in a black robe, his eyebrows were dark, and his face was covered with gauze, revealing only a pair of eyes that flashed with ghostly light, and his whole body exuded a thick yin qi, like a soul messenger from hell.

He faced Zhao Kuangyin and didn't speak, just bowed his head and said nothing. Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have become accustomed to it, he threw a golden token to the man in black, and lightly instructed the man in black: "Dark Arrow, take my token and go to the branches of the various sects in Kaifeng, and their principals have come to discuss important matters." ”

The black-clothed man's body shook, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he took the token and asked, "Your Majesty's orders are naturally being fulfilled with all your might, but does this 'Great Gate Sect' refer to those sects that have always supported us, or those that have continued to support us in the future?" His voice was hoarse, as if with the Nine Shades of Yin Wind, which made people feel cold all over their bodies.

There was also a reason why he asked this, when the Great Song Dynasty started, most of the people who supported them were only some small and medium-sized cultivator sects that Yunlong and Liu He had worked hard to win over, as well as the Yuping Sect and the Holy Fire Sect among the scattered cultivators, which were already the two strongest sects among them, and they were only medium-sized sects. Although the strength of these sects is not the strongest, their identification and feelings for the Great Song Dynasty are the deepest, and they can be described as descendants.

When the Great Song Dynasty began to conquer the world, sweeping away countries one by one, and showing the demeanor of a generation of Tianding Emperors, it was either because of the strong strength of the Great Song Dynasty, or because of the potential of the Great Song Dynasty, or even simply because of Yu Yunlong's gambling contract 66 Continuation, there were cultivators and cultivators who came to Kaifeng to express their support for them, among which there were many large sects like Tianjian Sect and Zen Buddhism, and these cultivators were all latecomers, and the relationship and feelings with the Great Song Dynasty naturally could not be compared with some of the earliest sects and cultivators. If Zhao Kuangyin wants to discuss extremely confidential matters, he must also beware of leaking secrets from anyone in these sects. That's why the man in black asked.

"Well, it's all the sects except those who are enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, including the two sects on the front and side. Zhao Kuangyin said. There are many sects that support the Great Song Dynasty, naturally they cannot all be righteous sects, except for the Demon Dao, some side doors, left and neutral sects have also expressed support for the Great Song Dynasty, such as the "Hundred Beast Gate" that is good at domesticating rare and exotic beasts, and the "Gopher Gate" that is good at retreating, are all sects that are incompatible with the righteous path, but have their own unique skills, which can be of great help to the Great Song Dynasty. For example, the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty were all vigorous and vigorous after taking the special forage of the "Hundred Beast Gate", and their physique was strong, which could be called the top war horses; among the communications and espionage personnel of the army and the imperial court, there were also many low-level and outer disciples of the "Gopher Gate" and "Dunjia Sect", all of whom were good at spying on intelligence, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, and transmitting news.

For the requests of these cultivators, as long as they are not sects, their reputation is extremely bad, and they are spurned by tens of thousands of people, Zhao Kuangyin accepts them all, showing the emperor's broad mind of accepting all rivers, and his statement has also been respected by these sects and strongly supported by the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty can have today's prosperity, and these sects that later took refuge also have indelible contributions.

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's affirmative answer, the man in black said, "Wow!", his body twisted, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared into the yin shadow in the corner. Only Zhao Kuangyin was left, he walked out of the palace and looked up at the sky for a while, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and then returned to the dragon chair and began to approve the chapters, as the emperor's general consul and national affairs, there are endless chapters every day, the body is strong and energetic, otherwise ordinary people really can't last long.

The man in black is a small sect from the Western Regions, called the "Ghost Shadow Sect", the nature of the sect is biased towards obscenity, and it is mainly based on cultivating yin attribute exercises, and there is a peculiar technique in the sect, which is to absorb the ghost qi of the dead soul and ghosts, and practice a kind of escape technique, after cultivation, it can hide in the yin shadow and wait for the opportunity to assassinate or eavesdrop on information;

It's just that in addition, there is nothing special about the Ghost Shadow Gate, and since the creation of the patriarch, there has not been any genius in the sky, and even the soaring one has not been exhibited until now, and it is even more declining, and the highest cultivation in the gate is not outdated, and it is in the middle stage of the god. After all, one of the main activities of those famous and upright sects is to "eliminate demons and defend the Dao", and the major sects such as the Five Directions Demon Sect and the Four Sects of the Ghost Dao naturally cannot start a war lightly, but it is still very light to eliminate some small sects.

In the southwest, southwest, southwest, and north of Shenzhou, where the power of the Demon Dao is rampant, the reality of the weak and the strong is even more vivid, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and those small sects have to rely on the snort of the sect to survive, similar to the Ghost Shadow Gate, a small sect of this scale has to be fearful and trembling every day, for fear that one day it will be swallowed up and destroyed by other big names.

Therefore, the aura is relatively barren, the population is sparse, and all ethnic groups are mixed in the western region of the cultivation realm, which belongs to the "cultivation desert", which is more suitable for the exhibition of the Ghost Shadow Gate. In fact, there are no major evil deeds in ordinary plain life, such as the Ghost Shadow Sect, which is just digging graves and digging graves, bullying men and women, and those big sects are also turning a blind eye, after all, the most in the cultivation realm is this kind of small sect, and it is impossible to kill;

Moreover, because of the existence of the two powerful sects of Yupingmen and the Holy Fire Gate, the western region has maintained a relatively stable situation, and there are few disputes between the various sects and factions, and the relationship with each other is not bad. Because the Ghost Shadow Gate has a peculiar shadow escape technique, it was recommended to Zhao Kuangyin by Taiyan. Zhao Kuangyin appointed several disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect for a period of time, and now the efficiency of collecting and transmitting information has increased significantly, and he was overjoyed, so he designated the Ghost Shadow Sect as the designated royal sect. He sent elite disciples and disciples from several other sects to form the "Hidden Dragon Shadow Guard", which was directly responsible to the emperor, and some confidential instructions and information were sent by the "Hidden Dragon Shadow Guard".

Two hours later, the cultivators of the various sects in Kaifeng City, such as the masters, hosts, and real people, as well as the old prime minister Liu He, gathered in the Zichen Palace, and the Great Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin presided over a secret discussion that lasted for three days and three nights

Under the "Heaven and Man Barrier" of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Layer, the damage caused by the original Cloud Dragon in the "Heaven Breaking Demon Array" had already been repaired, and the scale of the entire Demon Array had expanded by ten times, and the "Destruction Demon Light" that erupted from Fang Fang was also ten times thicker, tearing the "Heaven and Man Barrier" out of a big gap. From the gap, you can see the stars in the sky, which are ten times brighter than the ground, and you can also feel the strange atmosphere of countless faintly changing places.

In the space of the Zhongyang Array of the "Heaven Breaking Demon Array", there was a platform that seemed to be real and illusory, and was filled with misty aura, there were a total of nine seats with different auras, respectively, sitting the seven Demon Dao, Ghost Dao, and Demon Dao Grandmasters that Ciyun Long encountered when he came, as well as the Zhongyang Demon Sect Elder, the real immortal-level master Feng Shidao; There was not a trace of blood on her face, her eyes were closed tightly, she was not breathing, and with her white veil, her whole body was like a ghost, and her whole body exuded a stream of resentment and hatred, which fit with the resentment throne she was sitting on, and it was extremely evil. Obviously, this strange woman was the Zhongyang Demon Sect's Returning Void Period Grandmaster who was elected by Feng Shidao to guard the "Eye of Resentment".

The seats are high and low, obviously according to the level of strength, the formation of eight demons, ghosts, demons, and demons, the actions of the Returning to the Void Period Grandmaster are almost as high as one side, only Feng Shidao's seat is half a foot higher, and it is much more gorgeous. They sat together as if they were discussing something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation in the mortal world has changed greatly, and the rise of the Song Dynasty has swallowed up the surrounding countries one after another, and there is already a tendency to dominate the world, which has a great impact on our "great plan", and we can no longer let it be displayed. There was silence for a while, and the black man finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke. His doppelganger was scattered by Yunlong's "exorcism talisman", but fortunately, the spirit treasure of the Yuan Shen and the Yuan Shen was not damaged, so it took nine years to restore the doppelganger under the nourishment of the "Fierce Array Eye". However, his hatred for Yunlong did not diminish in the slightest, but became deeper and deeper as time passed.

It's just that the deity has rarely appeared in front of others, so he never knew who to take revenge on.
