That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 745

At first, Xu Beiyou thought that Xiao Jin's rebellion was just a one-man contrarian, and he was doomed to fail to win the real world trend. He challenged Da Qi, who is sitting in the world, with a corner of Wei State. Even if he could gain power for a while, it would be difficult to sustain At most, it is the fate of a short-lived emperor. After all, throughout the history books, there has never been a founding lord who has exceeded his sixtieth year.

But with the intervention of Taoism, things became completely different.The so-called division of the world does not depend only on the strength of Xiao Jin's family. In the northeast, there is the Liao King Shepherd, in the northwest, there is the Grassland Khan, Lin Han, in the south, there are millions of barbarians with hundreds of thousands of mountains, and even Houjian, Baozhu, and those Even the Daqi court, which has long been dissatisfied, may not be able to guard the world well.

It is easy to demolish a house and difficult to build a house. If it is just to make Daqi lose his deer instead of competing for the deer, then it will undoubtedly be much simpler.

It has to be said that His Majesty the Emperor chose to suppress the Taoist sect, which was indeed very foresighted, but then again, if he hadn't suppressed the Taoist sect, perhaps he would not have come to where he is today.

Xu Beiyou suddenly said: "As far as I know, Taoist sects are not in harmony today. Apart from the major mountains and factions, there is also a battle for the head disciple. The head teacher of the Taoist sect, Qiu Ye, is about to ascend, but he still hasn't made a leader. So much so that rumors spread, saying that the reason why he has not established the first disciple is because he wants to appoint the young apprentice Qi Xianyun as the first disciple, so that the Taoist sect will have the first female head teacher."

Chen Gongyu chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about whether this rumor is true or not. Even if it is true, I'm afraid it's just a reenactment of what happened to Tianchen back then. Back then, the old head teacher Zichen was promoted early, and Qiu Ye couldn't sit still. For the position of teaching, Tianchen had to be the head of the peak. The name was assistant, but he was actually the regent, and everything was in his hands. If Qiuye really dared to pass the position to Qi Xianyun, then Chenye would definitely become the second Tianchen. , even if he wants to imitate Qing Chen, no one can stop him."

Xu Beiyou said: "I heard that Chen Ye is not the direct disciple of the old head teacher. If he can really become the real head teacher of the Taoist sect as a collateral, then how can Qiu Ye have the face to face his own ancestors?"

Chen Gongyu said with a smile: "So Qiuye will definitely leave behind a means that can restrain Chenye. In all fairness, Qiuye is now making an enemy of herself. She wants to suppress the independent peak masters and restrict the gradually growing palaces. The master of Taoism wants to gather the masters of various Taoism schools who are like separatist vassal towns. They are even planning the general situation of the world. Manpower is sometimes poor. The first female head teacher appeared."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "Could it be that you are invincible in this world, so you want to be your enemy? To be honest, if you put aside the grievances and hatreds of the elders of the sect, I still admire this real person who is the head teacher of the Taoist sect. To be able to cultivate an Ascending Immortal, people have to sigh, comparing people to others deserves to die, comparing goods to goods should be thrown away, and how can those monks who are devoted to cultivating the Tao but have no hope of ascending to ascension feel so embarrassed?"

Chen Gongyu sighed softly, "Qiuye and his wife have planned for many years, and now they have finally come in handy. Except for a few famous families in the world, all the rest are under their command. Among the five great aristocratic families, Ye family and Murong family needless to say, they are the property of their husband and wife. After Shangguan Qinghong's death, Shangguan family quietly divided into two factions. Jin, one faction headed by Shangguan Yun secretly had entanglements with Murong Xuan, and after Shangguan Feng and Shangguan Luan passed away, Shangguan Yun simply took Shangguan's family to Murong Xuan's side in an open and above board manner."

Xu Beiyou asked, "Then what about Gongsun and Zhang?"

Chen Gongyu reached out and tapped Xu Beiyou: "Nangui asked the question knowingly. Although the Zhang clan was exterminated in name, there are still quite a few clan members who survived. Most of them followed Zhang Xueyao to Jiangdu. As for the Gongsun clan..."

Xu Beiyou asked, "The Uncle Yang Talisman from back then?"

Chen Gongyu said straightforwardly: "Yang Bofu is naturally Gongsun Bofu. Apart from Gongsun Bofu and Gongsun Zhongmou brothers, there are many other descendants who fled after the Gongsun clan fell. Zhong Mou re-established the Sword Sect, but not many Gongsun clan members defected, but most of them were gathered by Murong Xuan."

Xu Beiyou laughed at himself and said: "A Murong family who was once ranked first in the family evaluation of the previous dynasty, and a Murong family who has the secret support of Taoist sects, is naturally much better than a precarious Jianzong. At the critical moment when people are under the roof, No matter what your last name is."

As a result, four of the five great families have already belonged to Murong Xuan. As for the Zhang family who has long been inferior to the past, perhaps because of the feud between Murong Xuan and Zhang Xueyao, she doesn't bother to ask for peace with Zhang Xueyao for just one Zhang family. Perhaps it was due to Qiu Ye Gu Nian's love back then, and made other arrangements. In short, the Zhang family became the only aristocratic family that did not participate in this matter.

As for whether Zhang Xueyao knew the inside story, Xu Beiyou didn't know, and he didn't want to continue thinking about it.

Chen Gongyu said to himself: "After the first battle in the Mingling Tomb, everyone thought that King Wei and the King of the Grassland were the court's confidantes, but it has been a long time since the court launched a crusade. In fact, it was not. It's not that the court didn't want to, but No, if the court doesn't move, those aristocratic families won't be able to attack, if the court moves, there will be loopholes, and it will give them an opportunity to take advantage of."

Xu Beiyou hummed, and reflected on himself: "I was too hasty, I shouldn't have come to Wei at this time."

Chen Gongyu shook his head and said, "It's not urgent at all, it's just right, if there is no such a series of accidents, how can Nan Gui break through the blockade of Daomen and King Wei, and successfully walk on this Biyou Island? "

Chen Gongyu looked at the line of sky and sea in the distance, and said with a smile: "So it's just right."

Xu Beiyou took a deep look at the seemingly omniscient male fish, and then moved his eyes slightly down.

Sure enough, Chen Gongyu was caressing the green jade pendant around his waist.

He didn't seem to notice Xu Beiyou's subtle actions, and continued: "There are no heroes in peaceful times. Only in troubled times can heroes emerge. Now the world is in chaos, and there will be many newcomers in the future. Among them, you, Xu Beiyou, must have a place. .”

Xu Beiyou neither admitted nor denied it.

Chen Gongyu said with emotion in a low voice: "Of course, the so-called newcomers are not those boys in their twenties, but people like Ye Daoqi, Li Qingyu, and Xie Suqing, plus the 'Three Clouds' from the Taoist school, and the 'Three Clouds' from the Buddhist school." 'Dragon King', this is interesting. As for Jin Chan, Yan Ruyu, Huo Xishen, Chen Moling and others listed on the Tianji list, they are too young after all. In other words, they are not qualified to participate in it, but Nangui You are an exception, starting from Gongsun Zhongmou, you are the youngest in Xie Suqing's generation and also the one with the most potential, I am optimistic about you."

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Gongyu, I don't know if I should ask a question or not."

Chen Gongyu said with a flat smile, "But it's okay to ask."

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Mr. Gongyu seems to know everything like the back of his hand."

Chen Gongyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said: "Scholars don't go out, they know everything about the world."

Xu Beiyou let out a long cry.
