The court meeting ended. Aside from Ji Xuansi and the other members of the Ji family, almost everyone else looked gloomy.
Actually, what Ji Xuansi did today didn't have much meaning other than making things difficult for Su Xin and the others. However, Ji Xuansi knew that rice had to be eaten one bite at a time. He had to nibble away at the power in Su Xin and the others' hands step by step.
After leaving the palace, Su Xin followed Tie Ao and Tie Zhan back to Six Doors. Nominally, he was going to hand over some of his duties as one of the four Super Arresters, but in reality, he was here to discuss countermeasures with Tie Zhan. He wanted to see how the Tie family would react.
Inside Six Doors, Tie Zhan looked at Su Xin in surprise. "Actually, I find it strange that you didn't explode on the spot today."
Su Xin smiled. "Sir Tie Ao and you didn't explode either, did they?
Actually, I was already prepared to give up the positions of the four Super Arresters a long time ago. It doesn't matter if I give them back now. "
Tie Zhan sneered. "Don't tell me you can't tell that the Ji family is ready to take back the power that belongs to them. This is just cutting flesh with a blunt knife. The first step is to take back the two spots of the four Super Arresters from you and place two decent spies in the Six Doors of Forgetful Self at the same time.
They've already taken this step. Will the next one be far away? The Ji family is really good at this strategy of nibbling away step by step. "
Putting Tie Ao aside, Tie Zhan had been dissatisfied with the Ji family for a long time.
Although the Tie family was the dominant family in Six Doors of Forgetful Self, they were truly loyal to Zhou Guoguo. They had never done anything wrong to Zhou Guoguo.
But how had the Ji family treated the Tie family all these years?
First, under Ji Haodian's tacit instigation, Liu Fengwu and the others were openly and covertly opposing the Tie family.
Now that Ji Haodian was finally dead, the Ji family was even more outrageous. They actually began to brazenly place spies in the Six Doors of Forgetful Self. This behavior infuriated Tie Zhan.
However, while Tie Zhan was angry, Su Xin was very open-minded.
The human heart was the hardest thing to grasp. No matter how loyal the Tie family was, the Ji royal family wouldn't be at ease when they saw that the largest intelligence organization in the Zhou Kingdom was in the hands of one family.
Su Xin said to Tie Zhan and Tie Ao in a low voice, "It seems that the Ji Family is determined to take back the power in our hands. So, I just want to know what Six Doors means, and what does Lord Tie Ao mean?"
Tie Zhan also turned his head to look at Tie Ao. In fact, given his character, he had nearly fallen out with Ji Xuansi just now. It was only because of Tie Ao's presence that he forcefully endured it.
So now he also wanted to know what his elder brother's attitude towards this matter was.
Tie Ao played with the Black Gold Iron Ball in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Our Tie family is loyal to the Zhou Kingdom, but our loyalty is only to the Zhou Kingdom. In the past, when the Zhou Kingdom was founded, our Tie family also contributed to it."
Hearing Tie Ao's words, Su Xin immediately understood what the Tie family's attitude was.
Just now, Tie Ao had already said that their loyalty was only to the Zhou Kingdom, not the Ji family.
The Tie family contributed to the founding of the Zhou Kingdom. Now that the Ji family wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river, it wouldn't be so easy.
Of course, the Tie family was actually in a bit of a difficult position. Apart from the direct descendants of the Tie family, almost everyone in Six Doors was an outsider.
Unlike Su Xin's Northwest Path, Su Xin didn't have much loyalty to the Zhou Kingdom from the beginning. So, from the beginning, Su Xin had the idea of developing the entire Northwest Path into his own independent kingdom. So, if Su Xin wanted to raise his arm and call for a rebellion, almost no one in the Northwest Path would oppose him.
However, the Tie family was different. The Tie family had been really loyal to the imperial court all these years. It could be said that the Tie family had never had this kind of rebellious heart. At most, the Tie family could only guarantee their own interests in Six Doors.
So, in this way, the Tie family's prestige in Six Doors was indeed very high, but it wasn't so high that the Tie family could immediately rebel.
Just now in the hall, Tie Zhan didn't act on the spot because he was worried about this. He knew that once the Tie family and the Zhou Kingdom fell out, the best result would be the Tie family breaking with the Zhou Kingdom. However, if the Zhou Kingdom didn't make trouble for the Tie family, the Tie family would also turn from the ruler of Six Doors to a Jianghu family.
Maybe some Six Doors warriors who were very loyal to the Tie family would choose to leave with the Tie family, but most of the constables and constables would still stay in Six Doors and stay in the Zhou Kingdom.
This was because the Zhou Kingdom could definitely give them more status and cultivation resources than the Tie family.
Tie Zhan asked, "What do you want to do now? Just now, I didn't act because of the Tie family's concerns, but you, Su Xin, aren't the kind of person who will just sit and wait for death. "
Su Xin knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "The Zhou Kingdom belongs to everyone, Zhou Kingdom. It's not just you, Sir Tie Ao, who thinks this way. I also agree.
So, what we have to do next is very simple, which is to let the Ji Royal family see who is in charge of the Zhou Kingdom!
Of course, when carrying out the plan, we will also need the help of Six Doors and the Tie family's cooperation. "
Tie Ao said in a deep voice, "No problem, but we have to be clear about this. If it ends up completely breaking with the Zhou Kingdom, it will only be a joke to outsiders."
Su Xin nodded and said, "I know this, but what is the attitude of the military and the Imperial Worship Hall now?"
Su Xin had only joined the Zhou Kingdom for a short time, so he only knew about the masters of the Zhou Kingdom. Su Xin didn't know if there were any secrets.
Tie Ao said in a deep voice, "Don't think about Zhao Wunian. When he broke with the Great Jin, it could be said that he was almost besieged to death by many experts of the Great Jin. It was Ji Wulong, a Real Martial Arts Realm expert from the Zhou Kingdom who had passed away, who saved him, so Zhao Wunian owes the Zhou Kingdom a favor. To be precise, he owes the Ji Royal family a favor.
Moreover, the nature of the Imperial Worship Hall was there. Over the years, the Zhou Kingdom had been providing them with a large number of cultivation resources, and it was also the Ji Royal family who had been cultivating them. Therefore, the Imperial Worship Hall would definitely stand on the side of the Ji Royal family.
As for the military, Xue Zhenyue had nothing to do with the Zhou Kingdom. It was just that the Great Jin had offended Xue Zhenyue too much, so Xue Zhenyue took advantage of the rise of the Zhou Kingdom to join the Zhou Kingdom.
However, Xue Zhenyue was obsessed with martial arts. In the past, he had made so many contributions to the Zhou Kingdom, but he threw all of them to Lin Zongyue. It could be seen that he did not care about power.
Therefore, as long as the Zhou Kingdom did not push him too far, Xue Zhenyue would not have any reaction. After all, he still had some relations with the Zhou Kingdom. "
Su Xin frowned. If that was the case, it would be a little difficult. After all, the military of the Zhou Kingdom was a very powerful force. If the military did not stand on their side, things would probably be a little tricky.
However, at this time, Tie Zhan suddenly said, "It's okay if Xue Zhenyue does not take action. I will go find Lin Zongyue later. He will agree.
Don't underestimate Lin Zongyue's prestige in the military of the Zhou Kingdom. Although he is not Zhenwu, the power of the military of the Zhou Kingdom had been handed over to Lin Zongyue when Xue Zhenyue laid the foundation.
In the past, when the Great Jin was destroyed, it was almost all Lin Zongyue's command. These years, it has been Lin Zongyue who has been managing the military of the Zhou Kingdom. It can even be said that Lin Zongyue's prestige in the military is higher than Xue Zhenyue's. "
Su Xin nodded and said, "In that case, there is no problem. Just wait for my news."
After discussing with the people of the Tie Family, Su Xin directly returned to the Northwest Road.
After all, he had even given up his identity as one of the Four Great Condors. It was not appropriate for him to stay in Shengjing City for a long time.
However, after returning to the Northwest Road, Su Xin did not stay idle. He had already ordered the Shadow Guard to monitor the movements in Shengjing City at all times and report to him in time.
At this time, in a house in Shengjing City, Yi Jianting and five overseas warriors in the Yang God Realm were all there.
The six of them were warriors from the inland sea. This time, they were indeed very unlucky. All of their islands had been destroyed in the huge tsunami.
Although the people on their island were not harmed because they reacted in time, they also lost the place they relied on to live.
Of course, there were people like them overseas. However, only the six of them had the courage to come to the martial arts world of the Central Plains to find a way out.
Ji Liuye, the Lord of Broken Jade Island, waved a golden folding fan and asked Yi Jianting, "Lord Yi, this time, what should we do with the task that the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom has given us? Should we nibble away at the power of the military and the Six Fan School step by step like he said? "
Yi Jianting said lightly, "Everyone, you should be able to see that the imperial court of the Central Plains is actually using us as a tool. Although this matter was discussed in advance, we can't be their puppets. We will do whatever they want us to do."
"Oh? What do you mean, Lord Yi? "The other five looked at Yi Jianting.
Since ancient times, strength had been respected in overseas. This time, they dared to come to the martial arts world of the Central Plains because Yi Jianting, who had the strength of the Real Martial Arts Realm, led the team. So now that they were here, they had all decided to listen to Yi Jianting's orders.
Yi Jianting said slowly, "Actually, what I mean is very simple. The imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom wants us to nibble away at it step by step, so I might as well do it fiercely and take back more power.
Some of this power will be returned to the Ji Royal Family, but we have to keep some for ourselves. "
The others were stunned when they heard this. Wu Changfeng, the Lord of Fufeng Island, said directly, "Lord Yi, do you want to completely take root in the martial arts world of the Central Plains? Let's not talk about whether the martial arts world of the Central Plains will accept us, but what about our foundation overseas? We can't just bring our clansmen to the Central Plains and then abandon our foundation overseas, can we? "
