Chapter 1007: The Old Lady in the Palace
The Demon Sect naturally agrees.
It's not something that people like him care about, but it's important for people who are really interested in managing the world.
But he had never felt that the motives of such a powerful cultivator and conspirator as Yuwen Hunt would be so simple.
He was always skeptical of the words of any enemy.
He admires power, so in his opinion, even if it is to manage the world, power is the most important thing after all.
Even if they are truly justified, these people must at least put their power above everyone if they want to rule the world for a long time.
But obviously, if he didn't have a magic weapon that could control the Heavenly Mandate Blood Box, in terms of cultivation realm alone, these people would be weaker than him now, and even far from the Three Sages of the Southern Heavens.
So when such doubts appeared in his mind, the first thing he thought of was power.
If the tiger is transferred away from the mountain, then the most important and emptiest thing in the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time is Luoyang.
What is there in Luoyang that Yuwen Hunter and these people have always wanted but couldn't get?
Is it an exercise, or is it a ritual instrument?
But no matter what it was, he felt that in this war between him and Yuwen Hunting, his chances of winning seemed to be a little more.
Because he knows the Northern Wei Emperor and the Northern Wei royal family better than anyone else in this world.
Although the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the old woman in the palace have never had the same illustrious reputation as the Three Sages of the Southern Heavens, he has never really seen through it in the years of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
......
Shangqiu.
Wei Changgong sat at the head of the city.
At this time, news from both ends was constantly coming, and Shangqiu City was already brightly lit.
The cavalry has been wiped out, and the infantry army that follows is still on the way, but those comrades... It shouldn't come back.
It's just that at this time, the situation of Shangqiu and Luoyang, he didn't hide anything from the people in the city, and the city gates at this time were also open, and no one was restricted from entering or leaving.
But not many people packed up their belongings and fled from Shangqiu.
At first, he thought that it might be that these people couldn't understand how terrifying the current Demon Sect was, because ordinary people might not even be able to see cultivators, and ordinary people certainly didn't know what kind of existence a cultivator of the level of the Three Saints of Nantian was, and what kind of existence the Demon Sect that had now surpassed the Three Saints of Nantian was.
But for the past half hour, when he had walked around the alleys near the city walls, he had found that this was not the case.
He heard a lot of conversations.
No one underestimated the power of the Demon Sect.
Even in the eyes of these ordinary people, the Demon Sect is now like the most terrible plague, whoever touches it will die.
It's just that after any terrible plague, there are people who survive.
The plague will eventually lose to the living.
In the minds of these ordinary people, there are some terrible plagues, which have even killed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in a short period of time.
But those plagues will still be defeated, and they will still disappear.
There are probably two hours left at most, and if the Demon Sect doesn't want to stop, it should go to Shangqiu.
Now the people in Shangqiu City are very busy, thinking and preparing to meet the things of the Demon Sect.
......
Luoyang.
In the palace, the old woman who had been worried about the Demon Sect was still asleep.
Several palace maids were outside her dormitory, their faces full of anxiety and incomprehension.
It's like this, almost all the people in the city can't sleep, and in more than two hours, the Holy Lord may arrive in Shangqiu and face the enemy Demon Sect... How could she still sleep so heartlessly?
Like the empress dowager of the Southern Dynasty, the old woman in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been extremely low-key for many years, and even many people in the palace have ignored her existence.
After she moved the capital to Luoyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, she almost never interfered in any court affairs in everyone's impression.
She seems to be doing the same thing every day.
Her routine was irregular, and when she woke up naturally, she would spend half an hour eating breakfast and then visiting her garden.
In the morning, she made some flowers and plants she liked, bonsai.
In the afternoon, she summoned some folk performers to perform some tricks in front of her that she liked to watch.
She eats all the same things, and she doesn't need to change cooks.
She was not very fond of jewelry, and in the eyes of the people in the palace, the only thing she liked was probably gold.
Therefore, the study room she used to read books and read some scriptures at night was veneered with pure gold, which was a golden pavilion.
If she wasn't in the palace, if she was in other rich and wealthy families, she would be an old lady with nothing to do.
But the Demon Sect has always been very jealous of her.
The Demon Sect's jealousy of her originally came from those ascetics in Mobei.
The people who Mobei had initially expressed hostility towards her were all dead, and some of them were really powerful in the eyes of the ascetics.
But those people just died, and they didn't even know how.
Later, the more he learned about her, the more jealous he became.
In the years before moving the capital to Luoyang, two sects refused to allow the practitioners in the sect to serve the Northern Wei Emperor and the Northern Wei military in the way of closed-door retreat, and she just sent a letter to each of the two sects, and the attitude of the two sects suddenly changed.
Later, the Demon Sect found out the contents of those two letters.
Those two letters not only pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the existing major exercises of the two sects, but also put forward extremely useful suggestions for improvement.
What this old woman means is that you should not use the excuse of retreat, because with your talent and knowledge, even if you retreat behind closed doors, it is not much use, you still have to be knowledgeable.
Those two sects had to be interesting.
Because the improvement suggestions she pointed out were far inferior to the masters of these two sects.
It is impossible for all the worshippers in the palace to have such a profound study of the exercises of those two sects, nor can they come up with such suggestions for improvement.
Either an obedient existence becomes stronger, or it really can only wait to perish.
That's how she handles a lot of things.
Therefore, for many years, all the people who supported the emperor in the Northern Wei Dynasty seemed to have forgotten about her, but on the contrary, they had thoughts about the Northern Wei Dynasty, and those enemies of the Northern Wei royal family were extremely jealous of her.
......
The east has shown the white belly of the fish.
The few palace maids who were waiting were the same as the vast majority of people in the palace, and their minds were too heavy all night, and their expressions couldn't help but be haggard.
There was some movement in the old woman's bedchamber.
The old woman, who had kept a low profile for many years, woke up earlier than usual today.
"Clear consommé with fish balls, pumpkin porridge, pickles. ”
What made these palace maids a little stunned was that the voice of the old woman came from the dormitory, and today the old woman was unusual, after getting up, she had already ordered them to prepare to eat before she could freshen up and dress, and she had specified these things.
Somehow either.
Although the old woman was just talking about eating, the calmness in her tone had an inexplicable magic, which made these restless palace maids feel a little at ease.
