Chapter 441: People Under the Eaves, Prepare a Retreat
The Martial Saint Patriarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally took action, representing the tough attitude of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although Gu An saw that there was a problem, he had to accept the arrangement of the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time.
After all, if he accepted the arrangement of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at least half of the top combat power could be retained. If he violated it, he would be used as a chicken to scare the monkeys by the Great Zhou Dynasty again, and the situation might be even worse!
If the Tianxuan Holy Land could reply, he would not only know what the current situation was, but also be tougher in his attitude. However, there was no movement from the Tianxuan Holy Land, so he could not do too much.
Qingyuan Sect could not be destroyed directly. This was a prerequisite. Otherwise, his entry into the Tianxuan Holy Land would only become empty talk and difficult to achieve. This was not what Gu An wanted to see.
If there was a choice, he naturally did not want Yang Chan to go to the border. After all, during the first two conscriptions, the pharmacists who supported him in the rear did not come back alive, which also meant that there were too many tricks hidden in it.
If there was a choice, it would not be like this.
Some sects planned to rise up directly and join the Jinmeng Empire, but they were stopped.
Traitors have a bad reputation and may even be treated with hostility. Before the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the major sects would not betray the country openly, but there were other arrangements.
Just like Gu An, he had arranged for some disciples to disappear in Qingzhou.
However, it was difficult for a chief pharmacist like Yang Chan to do so, because he had been to Baiyujing, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had personally named Yang Chan and asked him to go to support. If Yang Chan disappeared at this time, Qingyuan Sect would probably have to face the Great Zhou Wusheng Ancestor.
Qingyuan Sect had no way to deal with Wusheng masters, and even now they didn't have a master of marrow washing. At this time, let alone Wusheng masters, even if a master of marrow washing took action, Qingyuan Sect would find it difficult to deal with it.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Although Gu An didn't want Yang Chan to go to the front line, he could only bow his head to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so as to win an opportunity for Qingyuan Sect and him.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty dares to conduct a fourth conscription, the major sects will directly leave the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the major sects will not choose to live and die with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Another reason for the compromise this time is that the Great Zhou Dynasty's national martial saint ancestor personally went to the border to participate in the war and took action against the Jinmeng Empire, which is also the result that the major sects want to see.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty wins, then there is nothing to say, and the fruits of victory will be harvested.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty loses, then the major sects will demand benefits from the Great Zhou royal family, and all the consumption will be taken back from the Great Zhou royal family, and at the same time help to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Without the Great Zhou royal family of the martial saint, the major sects joined forces without any scruples. At the same time, this is also a gift to the new dynasty, and it is also a token of surrender to continue to be the dominant force.
The more severe the oppression, the stronger the backlash.
If the two sides negotiate peace, then there will be peace for the time being and continue to develop steadily.
To be honest, the major sects don't like the two countries going to war. This has a great impact on them. Just like now, the power of the volunteers is about to exceed their expectations.
If the Martial Saint Ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not go to the front line in person, it would have started to backfire. It was also because the Great Zhou royal family took the lead and the Martial Saint Ancestor took action that there was such a strange situation and an extremely strange agreement.
It makes people incomprehensible and strange.
Gu An had to say this to Yang Chan. Yang Chan disappeared after going to the border, and it had nothing to do with Qingyuan Sect. When he followed him to Tianxuan Holy Land and became a member of Tianxuan Holy Land, he naturally didn't have to worry about the Great Zhou Dynasty settling accounts later. Besides, it was hard to say whether the Great Zhou Dynasty would have a future.
Even to a certain extent, the people in these holy places were more powerful. After all, the existence of the holy places was much longer than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the foundation was not at the same level at all.
"Master, is it the Martial Saint Ancestor who personally leads the troops to the border when the Great Zhou Dynasty recruits soldiers this time?"
Yang Chan listened to Gu An's words, and the ominous feeling became more and more obvious. When he mentioned the forced march to the border, his brows furrowed.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is targeting him!
To be precise, it is targeting the major sects. It is surprising that such a harsh designation is made.
"The Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty will go to the border to participate in the war, but he may not go with the people of the sect."
"I will make arrangements for you. When the war starts, the elders of the sect will protect you. If the situation is not right, leave the Great Zhou Dynasty and go to Tianxuan Holy Land."
"Now the main thing is that I don't know what's going on in Tianxuan Holy Land. The letter I sent has not been replied yet, and it's difficult for me to make arrangements!"
"I feel that there is a big problem in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately I can't refuse it now."
"Qingxuan Fanlou is a lesson learned from the past. The owner of the building was severely injured by the Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty for openly opposing it. The gap between the master of Xisui and the Martial Saint is still very large."
"The foundation left by Qingyuanmen is worse than that of Qingxuan Fanlou. We are not qualified to oppose it. Unless there is a reply from Tianxuan Holy Land, we can be tougher."
Gu An said so, but he guessed the arrangement of Tianxuan Holy Land in his heart. These holy places rarely interfere in the affairs of the dynasty, otherwise the letter would have been sent back under normal circumstances.
Now as a subsidiary force of Tianxuan Holy Land, he could naturally guess some of it.
Just like the Qingyuan Sect before, it basically would not offend the overlord-level forces of other states for a subsidiary force. At most, asking for an explanation was the limit.
Because this level of conflict between forces is a conflict between two states and regions. Now the Tianxuan Holy Land and the Great Zhou Dynasty are in a similar situation, but the scope is wider.
This is Gu An's suspicion. As the leader of the Qingyuan Sect, he treats other affiliated forces in the same way.
Perhaps the former sect leader Liu Xuan and others in Tianxuan Holy Land will want to help, but they have not yet established a firm foothold and do not have much say.
However, if you find Tianxuan Holy Land later and want to join the Holy Land, you may succeed.
Just like the Qingyuan Sect, if this happens, there will basically be compensation.
Gu An is also prepared for the worst, and that's all if it doesn't work out.
He is very optimistic about Yang Chan's potential. If he can go further in Tianxuan Holy Land, if he helps now, it will be fed back to him in the future. This will naturally be of great benefit to him.
On the contrary, if Yang Chan died on the frontline battlefield, then all his previous investment would have been in vain. It would be too difficult to meet someone like Yang Chan with such outstanding alchemy talent.
In all his years in Qingyuan Sect, he has only met Yang Chan, who was helped by him when he was still weak, which makes it even more rare.
Therefore, he considered a retreat for Yang Chan.
