[Seven: I've heard about it too. It's ridiculous. In Daibun, even Tianzun is no match for the Supervisor. How could the Supervisor die?]
Li Lingsu expressed his opinion.
[Four: I haven't heard any rumors yet. However, with the status of the Supervisor, unless a supreme grade martial artist makes a move, he is invincible in Daibun.]
Even though the Chu Scholar had resigned ten years ago, he was still concerned about the imperial court and the world's events. In the Earth Tome chat group, whenever such matters were discussed, his figure would always be there.
[Nine: It's hard to say. Daibun is in a precarious situation and is already an arrow at the end of its flight. The Supervisor can only receive a limited amount of the nation's luck. Without the blessing of the nation's luck, the combat power of a first-grade Warlock is only so-so.]
The evaluation given by the Jinlian Taoist priest was relatively objective.
[Nine: By the way, it has been confirmed that the Eighth is coming out of seclusion. He is safe and sound, which is very good. He may make a trip to the capital in the near future. Would you like to meet in the capital?]
[Seven: Let's talk about it when we have time.]
Li Lingsu replied.
The others did not speak. They were waiting for Xu Qi'an or Huaiqing's reply.
After a while, Huaiqing finally gave an accurate reply.
[One: Qingzhou has fallen, and the Supervisor is very likely to die.]
It was a simple sentence, but it was like thunder exploding in the ears of the members of the Heaven & Earth Society. The explosion made their brains buzz, and they instantly lost the ability to think.
No one spoke for a full ten minutes.
Li Miaozhen sent a message as if she was talking in her sleep.
[Two: How could this be …]
A bolt from the blue!
For the members, it was simply unacceptable bad news.
[Seven: The Supervisor is dead. Then, what about Daibun? No, no, how did the Supervisor die? This is impossible …]
His problem was the common problem of all the members of the Heaven & Earth Society.
[One: I don't know the details yet. According to Song Qing, Xu Pingfeng, Galo Tree, White Emperor, and Black Lotus were among the Transcendents who attacked that day.]
Two: White Emperor? The White Emperor of Yunzhou?]
Li Miaozhen, who had stayed in Yunzhou for a long time, sent an inquiry letter in disbelief.
The other members thought for a few seconds before coming up with a corresponding guess.
[One: That's it. Sun Xuanji said so. In addition, Sun Xuanji guessed that this Godfiend descendant's strength was at the first rank. If he wasn't a Rank-1, he wouldn't have been able to kill the Supervisor.]
Among the Transcendents who participated in the battle, Black Lotus was at the second rank. If the White Emperor was also at the second rank, then he wouldn't have been able to kill the Supervisor.
The members of the Heaven & Earth Society gasped, feeling a chill in their hearts.
They knew about the legend of Yunzhou and more or less knew about the White Emperor. However, they didn't expect this legendary existence to ally with Xu Pingfeng to attack the Supervisor.
[Nine: Strange. Why did this Godfiend descendant intervene in the affairs of the Central Plains for no reason? There must be something fishy about it.]
Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and the others were also very curious.
[Two: Xu Qi'an? You must know.]
Li Miaozhen was used to summoning Xu Qi'an when things were uncertain.
If it was him, he must know … This thought flashed through the minds of every member of the Heaven & Earth Society, except for the Jinlian Taoist priest.
They learned the truth about the fall of the Godfiend from Xu Qi'an, the secret of the Taoist Primogenitor expelling the descendants of the Godfiend from Jiuzhou, and the secret of the Buddha.
If it was Xu Qi'an, even if he didn't know the specific truth, he would more or less know some inside information.
"Three: The White Emperor is going after the supervisor. This matter involves a certain secret of the Ancient Era. I probably haven't told you about the gatekeeper yet." "Three: The White Emperor is going after the supervisor.
Gatekeeper?
The members of the Heaven & Earth Society were completely unfamiliar with this term.
[Three: I don't know the specific meaning of the Gatekeeper. I'll tell you after I find out. As for the course of this battle, I have a rough idea. I can tell you.]
The members were shocked and stared at the fragment of the Tome of the Earth.
Xu Qi'an repeated what he told Zhao Shou about the Chai Family and the Initial Supervisor.
[Nine: Twists and turns. The Initial Supervisor has been dead for five hundred years, but he can still influence the current situation. He is indeed the founder of the Warlock System.]
The Jinlian Taoist priest was filled with emotion.
No wonder the Supervisor lost. The one who really restrained him wasn't Xu Pingfeng, but the means left behind by the First Generation … Huaiqing no longer had any doubts. She had no choice but to accept the fact that the Supervisor was sealed.
The only good thing was that the Supervisor didn't die. However, there was not much difference between being sealed and being killed. Daibun's current situation was already doomed. When the time came, the Supervisor would still die … Chu Yuanzhen sighed silently in his heart.
[Seven: This, this is the end of the battle. We lost the Supervisor, and the enemy has one more First Stage …]
Daibun was doomed.
The Holy Son didn't say this out loud. At that moment, even he, a disciple of the Tenzō Cult who had no sense of belonging to Daibun, felt despair and heaviness.
[Six: This poor monk remembers that your excellency Xu said that you carry the fate of the nation and are already inseparable from Daibun. If Daibun is destroyed, your excellency Xu will also die for the nation.]
Hengy Yuan, who was relatively quiet, suddenly interjected and revealed the bloody reality in front of the members.
Li Miaozhen sent a message angrily.
[Two: Stupid monk, why are you saying this? You're touching a sore spot.]
Xu Qi'an thought for a while and sent a message.
[To be honest, I haven't thought of a way to break out of this situation. The current situation is indeed a dead end for me and Daibun. Apart from Her Highness Huaiqing, all of you don't have much to do with the imperial court of Daibun.]
But we do have to do with you … Flying Swallow Heroine only dared to grumble in her heart.
Hengy Yuan sent another message.
[Six: This poor monk's life was saved by your excellency Xu. I have said that I will repay your excellency Xu for saving my life if I have the chance. Amitabha, it is indeed a blessing for a monk to have a chance to settle karma.]
Master Hengy Yuan, you're planting a flag again … Xu Qi'an's heart warmed up, and he quickly used a sarcastic remark to cover up his feelings.
[Seven: Master, you have a high level of awareness. I won't risk my life for you. But since we've traveled together, I'll accompany you on your final journey.]
His words weren't pleasant, but his attitude was clear. He wouldn't back out.
[Four: Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. After training for so long, I have to use them for practice.]
Huaiqing and Li Miaozhen didn't say anything. They didn't need to express their opinions.
The former was a member of the royal family, and she was duty-bound. The latter was a favorite of the Flying Swallow Heroine, who was willing to sacrifice her life and shed her blood.
[Five: Father wants me to go to war in the north.]
At this moment, Lina sent a message.
Mose is already in the Central Plains. Is Longtu going to let both of his children die at once … Heaven & Earth Society is my most reliable ally. Even if it's Li Lingsu, I can still rely on them during critical moments … Xu Qi'an held the Earth Book fragment in his hand and exhaled slowly under the warm sunlight.
…
At the border between Sword and Xiangzhou.
In a certain mountain village, Li Lingsu put away the Earth Book fragment and sat in a daze for a moment. Then, he sighed softly and left the house.
He walked out of the fenced yard and headed toward the training field.
The so-called training field was actually a piece of empty land that his soldiers had cleared out. It was used for training, arranging the troops, as well as gatherings and chatting with the women.
"Greetings, Chief!"
The subordinates he met along the way greeted him respectfully.
Li Lingsu walked expressionlessly and soon arrived at the training field. He saw Yang Qianhuan wearing a veil that covered his face and loudly reprimanding the mobs in the field.
"If you don't work hard in your training now, the entire village will come to your house for a feast when you go to the battlefield."
Listening to Yang Qianhuan's reprimand, Li Lingsu glanced at the group of refugees and surprisingly discovered that there were children around six or seven years old among them.
"War needs to be trained from a young age. When you're older, it'll be too late for regrets. The entire village will be waiting for you to come to your house for a feast."
Yang Qianhuan's reprimand traveled to his ears.
"Even I, your brother, occasionally feel that there's something wrong with Brother Yang's head …" Li Lingsu took a deep breath and said loudly,
"Brother Yang!"
Yang Qianhuan had long seen Li Lingsu. After all, he had his back to the crowd and happened to be facing the direction where Li Lingsu came from.
"Brother Li!"
Yang Qianhuan stopped reprimanding and strode over. When he arrived in front of Li Lingsu, he turned around with his back facing him and said,
"What's the matter?"
Li Lingsu did not answer. Instead, he weighed his options and pondered for a long time before he made up his mind and said,
"There's news from Qingzhou. Qingzhou has fallen."
When Yang Qianhuan heard this, he was shocked, but he did not become flustered and exasperated.
Instead, he said excitedly, "Only when the situation is critical can I highlight my importance. When I'm done with the training, I'll turn the tide. Let's see those traitors in Yunzhou bow their heads and beg for their lives."
Li Lingsu said in a deep voice,
"The Supervisor has been sealed …"
Yang Qianhuan snorted,
"That's really a great thing. The Supervisor has wronged me for many years. Without his suppression, I can stand out."
Li Lingsu shook his head slightly,
"Brother Yang, I'm not joking with you."
He immediately relayed the information he had learned from Xu Qi 'an to Yang Qianhuan.
After listening, Yang Qianhuan stood there silently, like a lifeless statue.
After a long time, Li Lingsu heard a low voice coming from the front,
"I got it …"
At this time, Li Lingsu had never heard the voice before. All the exaggeration and cynicism had faded. It was so strange that it did not seem to come from Yang Qianhuan's mouth. Or, this was his normal voice.
"Don't tell Caiwei."
Yang Qianhuan said again.
…
Qingzhou.
Ji Xuan pushed open the door of Ge Wenxuan's residence with his left hand on the hilt of his saber and his right hand holding the wine pot.
Ge Wenxuan was wearing the standard white clothes of a warlock. He was sitting by the table and reading a book on military strategy.
"Young Master Ji Xuan is busy with many affairs every day. Why are you not busy recruiting soldiers and preparing food? What are you doing here?"
Ge Wenxuan said with a smile.
"The envoy for the peace talks is my second brother. I heard that you recommended him, so I came to ask General Ge for an explanation."
Ji Xuan slapped the wine and the saber on the table. He squinted his eyes and put on a fake smile.
"After listening to you, I will decide whether to drink or draw the saber."
As the two powerful figures in the Yunzhou Army, the relationship between Ge Wenxuan and Ji Xuan had always been subtle.
They were both good friends and competitors.
They could sit down to drink and laugh, but they would also fight over resources.
Qi Guangbo was strict with the army. He was fair with rewards and punishments. He would not show any favoritism just because of Ji Xuan's identity.
"Young Master Ji Yuan is brimming with talent and eloquence. He is also the son of the City Lord. He is the most suitable person to be the envoy for the peace talks with Daibun. "
Ge Wenxuan said.
Ji Yuan was Ji Xuan's younger brother. They shared the same mother and were both born of a concubine.
He was ranked ninth among the brothers.
Different from the gentle and masculine Ji Xuan, this Ninth Young Master did not like to cultivate. He was fond of reading and was the most knowledgeable among the sons of the Hidden Dragon City Lord.
The most commendable thing was that he was able to apply what he had learned. He was not a fool who only read books.
"Young Master Jiyuan might not be able to lead an army to war, but he is much better than you, his elder brother, when it comes to debating in the imperial court and arguing with scholars."
"Even I can't win against him in debating or arguing with him. I don't read as much as he does. Don't you think it's annoying?"
Ji Xuan ignored his jokes. He looked serious and said in a deep voice,
"You haven't talked to Xu Qi'an. You don't know that he is a lunatic."
Ge Wenxuan was still calm.
"What if I tell you that Miss Yuan Shuang and Young Master Yuan Huai are in the envoy?"
Ji Xuan was stunned.
Ge Wenxuan continued,
"It's the Imperial Advisor's idea. He knows better than us what kind of person Xu Qi'an is. The peace talks can solve the problems of the court and the young Emperor. Miss Yuan Shuang and Young Master Yuan Huai can make Xu Qi'an hesitate. "
Ji Xuan frowned.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Ji Xuan remembered that day in Yongzhou City, when Xu Qi'an broke the tendons of Xu Yuanhuai's hands and feet, but spared his life.
This man would not be restrained by his own blood, but he was not a cold-blooded and heartless person. Brothers were not completely unaffected by him.
Ge Wenxuan remembered what Xu Pingfeng said a few days ago.
"Didn't he mock me for being cold-blooded and heartless? Then I'll send his brother and sister to him."
Ge Wenxuan murmured,
"Teacher is the most heartless person in the world."
…
In the Throne Room of the morning court.
The Yongxing Emperor gradually began to fear going to court and the memorials on the table. Because the things on the memorials made him restless and anxious.
The refugees caused a disaster, the national treasury was empty, the Qing Province was lost, and the officials in the capital were in a panic. Recently, there were rumors everywhere. The memorials from the administrative offices of the various states said that "the Supervisor is dead, and Daibun is about to perish" were spread everywhere among the people.
The people were also in a panic, thinking that Daibun was really going to perish.
For this kind of behavior of spreading rumors and wanting to see the world in chaos, the previous dynasties would punish them severely. The most common punishment was exile, and beheading at the entrance of the market to frighten the people.
But in times of turmoil, rumors were everywhere, and it could not stop people's mouths. Perhaps the low-level officials also had the same thoughts.
Moreover, the Qing Province was indeed lost. The people who fled the war spread the news everywhere, one to ten, and ten to a hundred.
The efforts of the imperial court were destined to have little effect.
Now, it was as if the whole world was roaring in the ears of the Yongxing Emperor, telling him that Daibun was going to perish, and he was going to be a subjugated emperor.
When had the Yongxing Emperor, who was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, ever seen such a scene?
But today, during the morning court, the Yongxing Emperor's mood was different. He was like a man in despair who saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yesterday, the administrative office of Yongzhou, Yao Hong, sent back a memorial. The content was — the rebel army of Yunzhou took the initiative to negotiate for peace.
In addition, Yao Hong also reported Yang Gong in the memorial. Because Yang Gong refused to negotiate for peace, he tried to suppress this matter.
This crime should be punished!
"My beloved minister, Yao, is really my right-hand man."
Yesterday, the Yongxing Emperor finished reading the memorial and was overjoyed. As for Yang Gong, he did not plan to deal with him for the time being, because Yongzhou still depended on him to guard.
"Dear ministers, yesterday, the administrative office of Yongzhou, Yao Hong, sent a memorial. The Yunzhou wants to negotiate for peace with our imperial court and stop fighting."
The Yongxing Emperor looked around at the officials and said in a loud voice:
"What do you all think?"
