Lou Yun said: "Although Yuling's illness has been cured, something has happened a little bit. ”

Qiu Yuzhen was not surprised by the accident, because since Lou Yun and Nangong Li had been tired of being together, she had already smelled gunpowder.

She and Qiu Yuling are sisters of the same mother, and she knows best what her sister's personality is.

Qiu Yuling is naturally sentimental, and she regards Lou Yun as the only one in her heart, and now there are other women around Lou Yun, and there is more than one, and Qiu Yuzhen also knows that her sister doesn't like Nangong Li very much.

It can be seen from her reaction when she saw the marriage letter.

It would be strange if nothing else.

Qiu Yuling sighed, it seemed that what she was worried about had happened.

She had been persuading Nangong Yi to pursue Qiu Yuling before, and one of the things was that she foresaw today's events.

Qiu Yuzhen put a chess piece on the Tianyuan position and said, "I guess Yuling should have left secretly." ”

Lou Yun was slightly stunned, he felt very strange and asked, "Sister, how did you know?"

Qiu Yuzhen dragged her chin with one hand, played with the chess pieces in the chess box with the other and said: "Yuling, that girl I watched grow up, how can I not know what she thinks, you children really don't let me worry." Hey~~~ Forget it! ”

Lou Yun said: "But!"

Qiu Yuzhen glanced at him and said, "No need, I know Yuling's temperament better than you, she won't do anything stupid or practice herself." Can you rest assured about this, she is not the kind of hypocritical girl who needs you to coax and chase. The girl still can't figure it out, and when she does, she'll come back on her own. Besides, Yuling is proficient in disguise and disguise, and if she deliberately avoids you, you won't be able to find her anyway. ”

Lou Yun does not deny this.

Qiu Yuzhen looked at him and said seriously: "Xiaoyun, you are a man, the owner of Peacock Villa, the only male member of the Qiu family, you have more important things to do, and you are not Yuling's personal bodyguard." I don't have to be by her side all the time, and now that girl's martial arts, I don't have the confidence to beat her. I know she's gone and you're going to find her, but there's more important things waiting for you right now. ”

Lou Yun asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Yuzhen looked at him seriously, but before she could speak, another loud and majestic voice told him: "Become the new leader of the Zhongzhou Alliance, and then enter Beijing to be sealed." ”

Lou Yun and Qiu Yuzhen looked towards the courtyard gate, and Guo Yang was standing there.

Lou Yun and Qiu Yuzhen hurriedly got up and saluted.

Guo Yang waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's all your own family, so you don't need to be polite." "The conversation between Qiu Yuzhen and Lou Yun just now, Guo Yang has already heard it, although Qiu Yuling is also a little anxious when he leaves, but things have priorities, and the matter of the leader of the Zhongzhou League taking over is the most important thing.

Qiu Yuling is not a child anymore, the little girl's family makes a small temperament, and it is nothing to run away from home or something, which may be a very good exercise opportunity for Qiu Yuling.

Feel the warmth and coldness of the world.

And the abdication of the leader of the Zhongzhou Alliance is the most important thing.

Because Murong Zheng has now become the leader of the martial arts alliance, although he is on good terms with the three major alliances on the surface. But he himself has already begun to establish a fourth force, a Jianghu force that only belongs to him and belongs to the Hundred Swords Villa.

He's just learning from the previous Tianyu son.

In the past, the prince of Tianyu used the convenience of the power of the martial arts alliance leader to start to attract some small forces for himself, and then let them follow him.

Murong Zheng is also concocting the same method.

The three major forces on the rivers and lakes all have their own direct spheres of influence and corresponding industries.

For example, the main strength of the Tianying Society is in Jiangdong, Qinhuai, Suzhou and Hangzhou, salt transportation, Cao Yun, silk, embroidery, etc. are all important economic sources of the Tianying Society.

The main strength of the Zhongzhou League is in the Central Plains, Qilu, and Taihang generation. The Zhongzhou League is different from the Tianying Society, the Zhongzhou League is the Jianghu League supported by the imperial court, in addition to the silver allocated by the imperial court every year, there is also a merchant tax is also directly into the treasury of the Zhongzhou League.

As for the actual power of the Mercy Flower Society, it is much smaller than the others, and it only concerns a small place. However, the intelligence network of the Mercy Flower Society is almost all over the entire Ming Dynasty. It doesn't matter if the actual area of control is a little smaller.

The main source of finance of the Lianhua Society is the taxes collected by the Yongwang Mansion every year from the two states of Yongliang.

The organization newly founded by Murong Zheng is called the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

The implication is to follow the way of heaven, what is heaven? The emperor is heaven. The Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is the emperor's words.

And the power of this new alliance founded by Murong Zheng is much greater than the three of them.

Murong Zheng was based on the Hundred Swords Villa, with the connections he had accumulated over the years, and his identity as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, as soon as he opened his mouth to establish the Heavenly Dao Alliance, more than seventy large and small gang families announced to join.

The main sphere of influence of the Heavenly Dao Alliance is Jingxiang, and then there are Bashu and Yungui.

Because several major factions in Bashu, including the Qingcheng faction, the Tang Sect Division, Lianlian Villa and other sect families, have expressed their willingness to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

And in order to return to the camp of the Central Plains Martial Arts, Hua Ziyu also announced that the Five Poisons Sect had joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

At this moment, Murong Zheng's Heavenly Dao Alliance has become the largest force in the world. Now the only one who can compete with it is Zhu Yunchang's Mercy Flower Club.

Tianying will be the director of the three halls, each performing its own duties, when Tianyu Gongzi was the leader of the alliance, Fang Longxiao was willing to be the queen.

But now, just like today, Yu Gongzi has retired and Fang Longxiao is in power, but some of Tianyu Gongzi's descendants do not buy Long Xiao's account. Although the current Tianying Club cannot be said to be a plate of scattered sand, its influence and cohesion are far less than before.

And the situation of the Zhongzhou League is not much better than that of the Tianying Society. Because the emperor has begun to suppress the Zhongzhou League. The existence of the Zhongzhou League is to balance other forces in the rivers and lakes, and now that the British Association is weakening day by day, Zhu Yunchang has just come to a major disarmament.

The Zhongzhou League can be said to be a dominant company.

This is precisely the last thing the emperor wants to see. And the emperor also acquiesced to the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

If the Zhongzhou Alliance is used to balance the Tianying Society and the Lianhua Society to control the martial arts, then this Heavenly Dao Alliance is used to suppress the Zhongzhou Alliance.

Guo Yang is a person who is proficient in the change of power, how could he not see this kind of thing.

Now the only solution is to let the Zhongzhou League also decline, and the only and best way is to change the generals.

In other words, it is impossible for the crowd to convince them, and then deliberately create factional strife in it. In this way, the emperor will be at ease.

Then the Zhongzhou League will not become a threat to the imperial court.
