Three Hundred and Forty-Two. How Much Do You Know About Chang'an Chess Pieces?
"Then let's stay calm and wait patiently."
After hearing what Long Te said, Lou Ning said, "Besides eight and eleven, there may be other people coming."
Zhao Shu and Long Te's eyes moved slightly.
"Is it right?" Zhao Shu was thoughtful.
In the past, there were two relatively powerful forces in the territory of the Dayin Dynasty in the southeast of Middle-earth.
One family is Mingde Academy presided over by Zhao Shu.
The other family, the Taoist Holy Land, is of the same school.
Relatively speaking, the threat posed by the Zhengyi Party to the Lou family's Dayin Dynasty was higher than that of Mingde Academy.
After all, Mingde Academy does not have a master of the thirteenth realm, but Zhengyi has more than one Taoist master in the thirteenth realm.
It's just that the Zhengyi faction has always been quiet and inactive, and seldom cares about mundane affairs, so on the whole, the royal family headed by Lou Ning can still live in peace with it.
Of course, on the other hand, it is also because the Zhengyi faction has more important enemies.
The Taiqing Palace had attacked the gate of the Zhengyi faction before, so that the Zhengyi faction was on the verge of collapse.
It wasn't until Chang'an landed in Zhongtu that the Taiqing Palace knew the details of Chang'an, feared that the Twelve Yamas would make a comeback, and finally chose to withdraw their troops. The righteous faction breathed a sigh of relief.
If not, the final result might be different.
With the Taiqing Palace targeting the righteous faction anytime and anywhere, the Lou Family Dynasty is naturally happy and relaxed.
The Zhengyi faction was rescued by the city of Chang'an, and they were also the first holy land of the famous family in China to make friends with Chang'an.
But now the truth is revealed, the city of Chang'an originated from the establishment of the Twelve Yamas, and it is intriguing how the Zhengyi faction will choose next.
They happened to be on the ground of the Dayin Dynasty. Now that Lou Ning is in command of the Dayin Dynasty and surrendered to Chang'an, if the Zhengyi faction made the opposite decision, they would be in the same situation as Jiufeng Academy.
"I don't care what the Zheng faction is. From the looks of it now, the Taiqing Palace must be the enemy."
Longte said slowly at this time.
Compared with the Zhengyi faction,
The current strength of the Taiqing Palace is undoubtedly even better.
Peng Ziling, the head teacher of the Taiqing Palace, is the number one Taoist in Middle Earth today. He is the fifth level of the Yuanshen, and he has cultivated into the top master of the Yangshen Taoism.
Together with Kong Shengzhen, the contemporary lord of Yansheng Mansion, they are now the masters of the two major fourteenth realms of China and Earth, each standing at the peak of the Taoist primordial spirit and the Confucian master.
Previously, it was Peng Ziling who went out in person to suppress Master Chengyang, together with the Zhengyi faction, in the mountain gate.
"Back then he was no match for His Majesty, but now His Majesty is stronger than before." Lou Ning said, "Even if Peng Ziling and Kong Shengzhen fight together, the end will only come and go."
Long Te nodded: "It makes sense."
Zhao Shu sighed softly.
For a long time, Yansheng Mansion has always been the most noble holy place in the minds of scholars all over the world.
But I don't know when, all this has gradually changed.
Every time he thought of this point, Old Dean Zhao felt very sad.
…………
While Lou Ning, Longte, and Zhao Shu missed Yansheng Mansion, Yansheng Mansion also missed them.
A middle-aged Confucian student with a serious expression walked in Yansheng Mansion and went straight to the residence of the mansion master Kong Shengzhen.
"Fourth Uncle, uncle is meeting with Sixth Uncle, why don't you wait for a while?" Kong Qing, a disciple of the Kong family who came here with him outside the door, said.
When Kong Qing heard this, his expression suddenly became more serious: "Sixth brother?"
The other party nodded: "Uncle Six has just returned home."
Kong Qing frowned.
He remembered that his sixth younger brother, Kong Xiang, had previously traveled to the north.
Kong Xiang once sent a letter back, mentioning that he crossed the barren sea and wanted to go all the way north to visit Beimang.
But it hasn't been long since you left, and you're coming back so soon?
An even more ominous premonition rose in Kong Qing's heart.
"You report it to Uncle, and tell him it's about Chang'an City. I want to see the old man as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if the sixth brother is here." Kong Qing said.
The disciple of the Confucian family cupped his hands and went inside to report.
After a while, the person came out and said quickly: "Fourth Uncle, Uncle invites you in."
Kong Qing took a deep breath, nodded, and then walked into the Palace Master's residence.
In the spacious and bright study room, an elegant old man and another middle-aged man were sitting and talking.
After Kong Qing came in, he saluted the old man: "Uncle."
The old man looked calm and nodded slightly: "Sit first."
Kong Qing nodded and sat down as promised.
The middle-aged man on the opposite side also arched his hands at this time, bowing to Kong Qing: "Fourth brother."
The old man said: "First tell Liuyuan what you have seen and heard."
The middle-aged man was none other than Kong Qing's fourth younger brother, Kong Xiang, who was also a direct descendant of the Kong family.
"Yes, Dad."
Kong responded, and then Su Rong looked at Kong Qing:
"Fourth brother, a strongman of unknown origin has suddenly emerged in Beimang recently, and he almost subdued and unified the Quartet of Beimang with his own power."
When Kong Qing heard the words, his eyes couldn't help squinting: "It is no coincidence that a powerful force of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Dongjiang and Beimang. Could it be that they are also reincarnated and practiced by Twelve Hells, making a comeback?"
Kong Xiang shook his head: "It's still uncertain at the moment, I didn't dare to take the risk of contacting him, but after hearing the news, I returned as soon as possible and reported to the mansion first."
Kong Qing asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what this person's name is and what he looks like?"
"This man's name is Gao Shihui, and he calls himself 'Northern Emperor'. His appearance is different from that of the rumored Twelve Yamas." Kong Xiang said, unfolding a scroll.
Kong Qing looked intently, and saw a man in the painting with a calm expression and dignified eyes, who looked about thirty or forty years old.
"Do you practice martial arts?" He asked while looking at the person in the painting.
The fourth younger brother Kong Xiang nodded: "That's right, it's indeed martial arts, but I just listened to the rumors and descriptions, so I can't see the origin of its cultivation base."
Kong Qing pondered: "It is impossible for a martial arts master of this level to appear out of thin air, so that there is no news about it before."
Martial arts emphasizes actual combat, and the higher the realm of cultivation, the more it needs to be continuously polished through life and death experience.
After many years of hard work behind closed doors, once he leaves the closed door to shock the world, it is somewhat possible for other paths of practice.
But for warriors, it is completely unrealistic.
Without enough accumulation, no matter how hard you work, it will be difficult to break through to a higher level, and you can only stand still.
"Among the Twelve Yamas of the past, the ones who used martial arts to succeed were one, three, five, seven, and eight."
Kong Qing said to himself: "The seventh-ranked 'Sword Demon' and the eighth-ranked 'Emperor Chen' have already appeared in Chang'an, so who is the one in Beimang right now?"
"You are anxious to see the old man, but there is another news from Chang'an City?"
At this time, an old and peaceful voice suddenly came.
Kong Qing woke up when he heard the words: "Exactly."
The old man in the study is the number one practitioner of Confucianism in China today, and the current head of Yansheng Mansion, Kong Shengzhen.
Hearing his question, Kong Qing quickly replied: "Su Po, Ao Kong, and Chu Yaoguang led the practitioners from the eastern border to attack Fengming City, the imperial capital of the Dajing Dynasty. After breaking the city, they slaughtered Zhao Minglun, Zhao Pingyuan and other Jing Dynasty masters.
Jinghuang Zhao Shuo originally managed to break through with the help of Qinghe, the elder of the Taiqing Palace, but was assassinated by Yinhuang Louning. Since then, the top masters of the Zhao family have been wiped out.
Now Lou Ning is relying on Chang'an to act as a pawn, which not only caused all the territory of the Dayin Dynasty to fall into the hands of Chang'an, but he also personally led the team to wipe out the resisters in the territory of the Dajing Dynasty. "
After a short pause, Kong Qing continued: "Now, they are slowly shrinking from the periphery, approaching the nine peaks of Jinghu Lake."
Kong Shengzhen nodded slightly when he heard the words, but did not speak immediately.
Beside him, Kong Xiang couldn't restrain himself, showing a startled expression.
Zhao Family Dynasty, is this the end?
The Lou family dynasty surrendered just like that?
In the past, Yansheng Mansion had a bad relationship with Zhao Family Dynasty and Jiufeng Academy.
But at this moment, Kong Xiang still couldn't restrain himself, feeling the sadness of hurting his own kind.
After a while, Kong Shengzhen said slowly, "What do you think of Dongnan Louning?"
"It's not in line with his usual style of doing things." Kong Xiang said.
Kong Qing thought for a while, and said, "Could he be one of the Twelve Hells, the nail planted in Chang'an in the past?"
"It's not impossible." Kong Sheng said.
Brothers Kong Qing and Kong Xiang looked at each other, and they both saw the same worry in each other's eyes.
Lou Ning may be the nail planted by Twelve Yamas.
What about the others?
In addition to Lou Ning, will there be more similar people in Zhongtu?
One of the emperors of the Six Dynasties, Yinhuang Louning, the ruler of the vast world, can be a hidden stake in Chang'an City, so what about the others?
Kong Qing and Kong Xiang had to worry.
No one wants to lose so uselessly like Emperor Jing and Zhao Shuo.
"By the way, uncle, there is one more thing that has not been confirmed yet, but the news from the Taiqing Palace, the 'Sword Demon' Su Po seems to be rather strange, and Chang'an may not be completely of the same mind." Kong Qing added.
"If you haven't confirmed it, you need to confirm it as soon as possible."
The old man said slowly: "However, Chang'an's coming is like fire and thunder, I'm afraid there will be no delay."
He stood up slowly: "Since that's the case, I'd better go to the Nine Peaks of Mirror Lake in person."
Both Kong Qing and Kong Xiang were startled at first, but after recovering, they both felt at ease: "We will go with you."
"Liuyuan can go with the old man." Kong Shengzhen turned his gaze to Kong Xiang: "Xiang'er, keep staring at Beimang and wait for the changes. Don't be impatient, just write down everything carefully."
Regardless of Dongjiang or Beimang, they all attracted the attention of Yansheng Mansion.
It's just that in comparison, the fire in the eastern border has already reached the front of Zhongtu, so we have to take care of this side first.
"I never expected that there would be cooperation between us and Jiufeng Academy." Kong Qing sighed.
Kong Shengzhen said indifferently: "At least for now, we have common problems."
For Yansheng Mansion, this difficult problem may still be just a dead end.
But for Jiufeng Academy, which is currently facing the pressure of Chang'an City, it is really as important as Mount Tai.
"Father, there are messages from Taiqing Palace, Daning Dynasty, and Lingguang Temple."
Shen Hao bowed to Shen Tianxian in front of him.
As far as Jiufeng Academy is concerned, the only good news that can boost confidence at present is that the famous holy places in China and Earth have expressed that they will support Jiufeng as soon as possible.
Moreover, it is not a scene talk, but a real support.
Jiufeng Academy will become the new line of defense for Zhongtu against Chang'an.
"The Confucian family of Yansheng Mansion has also sent a letter."
After a slight pause, Shen Hao continued: "Besides, there is also news from the south."
"South..." Shen Tianxian muttered to himself.
