Great Zhou Tianzi

The two teams merged into one, and Sima Tianming was lucky to have met Ji Jie at a critical moment, otherwise he would surely die.

There was silence, crackling sounds from the fire, and the night in the grassland was chilly. The three brothers were drinking and drinking in the small river not far away while taking a bath while practicing exercises. These three guys seemed to have inexhaustible energy every day. .

"Cousin, do you have any inside information?" Sima Xueran asked.

"Yes, there are too many, to the point where it is impossible to tell the truth from the fake!" Sima Tianming frowned and said, "I heard that the three sects of the Shenwu Sect are ready to seize the throne by force, and the Tianfeng Sect has also invited many Fewer helpers, and confront them tit for tat. But no matter what, they have already completed the unification of opinions within the sect. As for our Chengji sect, with those small-bellied guys from the Nanshan sect, it is a dream to unify with the outside world!"

The Sima family is divided into three branches: Shenwuzong, Tianfengzong and Chengjizong. Among them, Shenwuzong is famous for magic and secret techniques, Tianfengzong uses spying and assassination as the main method, and Chengjizong uses wandering among the upper class as its main purpose. Each sect has its own specialties, and they are equal in gathering intelligence.

Each sect is divided into three sects. The three sects of the Chengji sect are the Beiyuan sect represented by Sima Xueran, the Youlin sect represented by Sima Tianming, and the Nanshan sect.

The forces of the Beiyuan faction are mainly distributed in the states of Wei and Zhao, the Youlin faction is fully responsible for the affairs of the state of Chu, and the Nanshan faction is entrenched in the state of Qin. It is reported that the elders of the Nanshan faction have been bought by Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and they are willing to serve as slaves for the people of Qin.

"Everyone knows that if the Sima family cannot be unified this time, the result will be a complete split!" Sima Tianming said worriedly: "At that time, each will fight on his own. Although the immediate interests will not be greatly affected, but after a long time, it will be difficult. It is easy to be defeated one by one, and the Sima family will definitely be submerged in the torrent of history."

The three chatted for a while, and then went back to sleep.

It was safe all the way on the second day, until the afternoon of the third day, a rider stood on the hill in front of him, staring at them for a long time.

"It can't be a member of the Remnant Wolf Group?" Sima Tianming was terrified.

"Maybe it's just a herdsman!" Ji Jie said a reassuring word. In fact, he had already concluded that it was a member of the Remnant Wolf Group. Their third leader failed to complete the task. The person in charge found his body on the grassland. Go back and report.

The terrain in front is very suitable for ambushes, Ji Jie ordered everyone to stop, this road cannot be taken anyway, so detour.

Originally thought that the people of the remnant wolf group would be chasing after them, but who would have thought that a simple detour would throw them far away, which made Ji Jie unacceptable for a while. Could it be that they have other schemes?

Without a word all the way, I arrived at Sima Walled City safely.

It is not an exaggeration to call this place a walled city. The tall wooden sentry towers are next to each other. The crossbowmen, this is simply a large military depot.

The Chengpin character of the Walled City is divided into three parts, which form the corners of each other. Each case occupies one of the corners. In the center is a high platform built in the open air, which is also the highest place in the entire Walled City.

"Xueran, do you have any special significance in creating such a place in Saibeifei?" Ji Jie couldn't help asking.

Sima Xueran said with a smile: "The living conditions in Saibei are low, and the Sima family had to build such a fortified city to protect themselves. Power is in Zhongshan country, even if the country dies, it still maintains a strong economic strength, seeing such a carrying capacity is nothing."

Chengjizong's residence is located in the southwest, and everyone entered through the southwest gate, and the gate guards shouted at the same time: "Welcome back home!"

The current elder of the Northern Plains School is Sima Xueran's uncle, Sima Heng, who took over the position of elder from his elder brother, Sima Xueran's father six years ago, and the next elder will be succeeded by Sima Xueran.

The Sima family is a well-known family in the north. Because they have lived in the north where the folk customs are strong for many years, they have not been influenced by Confucianism and Taoism in the south. Therefore, there is no patriarchal thought within the family, and female heirs can also inherit the family business.

"Uncle, let me introduce you, this is Lord Zhaowen, Ji Jie!" Sima Xueran introduced, "These three are the three brothers of the Xiong family, who will protect our niece all the way back!"

Sima Heng looked Ji Jie up and down, nodded with a smile, and said, "Great Zhou Zhaowen Jun Ji Jie, I have heard of your name for a long time, and Zhaocheng and Tuolongguan have become more and more prosperous under your governance. talent!"

"The elder is amazing!" Ji Jie said humbly, "It's thanks to Xue Ran's help that this boy has achieved such a success. Without her, I really don't know what I would do! In the final analysis, it's all thanks to the Sima family. , you have cultivated such an outstanding Xueran, haha!"

Ji Jie put a big tall hat on Sima Heng calmly, and Sima and Ma were happily from ear to ear, making tea to entertain the guests.

The current Sima Walled City seems to be peaceful, but in fact there is an undercurrent. The elders of the three sects and nine sects will meet for the first time in five days to discuss a preliminary result, but everyone knows that this result is not easy to discuss Come out, if it can be done, it won't take so long.

Taking advantage of the large number of disciples under his sect and being able to fight, Shenwuzong began clamoring for them to take up the position of Patriarch a few days ago, and whoever dares to disobey will beat them until they are convinced.The three factions of the Tianfeng Sect are hidden, but people with a discerning eye can see that there are many more people in their territory overnight.

Looking at the Chengji Sect again, the elders of the Nanshan Sect came back a long time ago, but they have been refusing to show up for a long time. As a result, this sect's discussion with the other two sects has no result yet.

"Uncle, the Nanshan faction refuses to come forward, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" Sima Xueran asked.

Sima Heng shook his head and said: "I don't know either! There are probably two possibilities. One is that they have decided to split the Sima family. With the support of King Qin, his Nanshan faction can completely establish itself; the second possibility is that they Adopted the same strategy as the Tianfeng Sect, hiding it and not revealing it, and jumping out when the time is right, catching everyone by surprise."

You Lin faction took the initiative to send people to come, saying that they would have a banquet for Ji Jie and Sima Xueran, thank them for helping Sima Tianming, and invited Sima Heng to go with them.

"It's a good thing!" Sima Heng said with a smile: "The fact that the Youlin faction took the initiative to entertain us shows that they are ready to fight side by side with us. Honestly, I think we're going!"

Naturally, Ji Jie has no objection, he completely regards himself as a spectator now, let's talk after seeing enough!
