Cultivation: Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds

"Yes, I also really want to know where the emperor came into contact with this mysterious power, or who is it that can harm him in this way." Wan Dong pondered.

"I'm afraid only the emperor knows the reasons for all this. I'm afraid that there are too many secrets involved, and the emperor refuses to reveal it." Xu Wenchuan said.

"In this world, apart from the dead, who can really keep a secret? What I'm afraid of is that even the emperor himself doesn't know why this mysterious power appeared in his body."

"No way? Is this possible?" Xu Wenchuan asked in surprise.

Wan Dong laughed and said, "Why is this impossible? Even Grandpa Sun and I can't figure out what is this mysterious power that exists in the emperor's body, let alone the emperor himself."

Xu Wenchuan thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that Wan Dong's suspicion was not unreasonable.Just imagine, if the emperor really knew who harmed him, how could he not take revenge after he recovers?

"It seems that even your grandpa doesn't know that the emperor's vitality has been greatly depleted, and only one year of life is left. Otherwise, he would not have announced so excitedly in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, The emperor's illness has been cured."

"I probably don't know! After all, the loss of vitality cannot be detected by the means of ordinary doctors."

"But why didn't you tell him?" Xu Wenchuan asked.

Wan Dong smiled and said, "What is there to say? If I say it, it will only increase Grandpa's troubles."

Xu Wenchuan nodded slightly after hearing this.Based on his understanding of Sun Daobai, if he really knew this, he would definitely rack his brains and find ways to treat the emperor.But even Wan Dong can't do anything, so what can he think of?In the end, as Wan Dong said, it just added trouble to him in vain.

"Yao Ting, maybe you are right. This is fate, and it cannot be changed by our mortal power. But Yao Ting, although the emperor has been wary of our Xu family and is far less trusting than before, we The Xu family's glory today was all given by him. In this life, one must know how to be grateful. If you think of a way in the future, you should try your best to save the emperor. "

This Xu Wenchuan said earlier that this is fate and that ordinary people cannot change it, but later he hoped that Wan Dong could find a way to save Bai Zhenshan.It is rare to say that in Xu Wenchuan's eyes, Wan Dong is no longer a mortal?

Wan Dong smiled wryly and nodded, and said: "It's not our Xu family's style to see death and refuse to help. Of course, grandson will not shame you, grandpa. If there is a way in the future, grandson will definitely do his best!"

"Okay! As expected of my Xu Wenchuan's grandson!" Xu Wenchuan was very happy and drank a full glass by himself.

Putting down the wine glass, Xu Wenchuan said with a bitter expression, "However, what troubles me recently is not the emperor's attitude towards our Xu family, but the emperor's attitude towards the Tie Zhan dynasty."

"Oh?" Wan Dong immediately frowned. Compared with how long Bai Zhenshan could live, Wan Dong was more interested in Bai Zhenshan's strategy for the Tie Zhan Dynasty.Because, Bai Zhenshan's attitude will largely determine the fate of hundreds of millions of people in Tiandu Kingdom.

With the power of Tiandu Kingdom alone, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the Tie Zhan Dynasty.Only by uniting with the Qingyun Empire, can there be vitality. Wan Dong has already seen this clearly.

"Seeing what the emperor means, he intends to adopt a policy of appeasement and compromise with the Iron War Dynasty..."

"Ah? How can I do that! This is breeding tigers!"

Really afraid of something coming, to Wan Dong, this is nothing more than a bolt from the blue.Without the Qingyun Empire to rely on, the destruction of Tiandu Kingdom may only be a matter of time.Thinking that the relatives in his hometown will be ravaged by the Iron War Dynasty, how can Wan Dong not be excited, how can he not be angry?

"That's true, but the emperor has his reasons for doing this. In the past few years, the government has been controlled by Qiu Wanli. Under his perverse actions, the national power has declined greatly, and it is far worse than before. There are various problems and contradictions. There are endless and numerous. Under such a situation, it is undoubtedly not a wise move to start a war against the powerful Iron War Dynasty. The emperor believes that the most urgent task at the moment should be to recuperate. "

"Picture it slowly? Hmph! I'm afraid this is a whimsical idea! By the time the Qingyun Empire's national power is restored, the Tie Zhan Dynasty has already risen like the sun and is unstoppable. At that time, besides obediently bowing to others, what else can we plan? Shit!"

The more Wan Dong talked, the more excited he became, and even swear words burst out when he arrived.

"Grandpa, this is the meaning of the emperor, what about the meaning of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty?"

"About two-thirds of the civil and military forces in the Manchu dynasty agreed with the emperor's intentions, and He Zhen was the most resolute among them. I, Hu Jingqi, your master Wu Daozi, and some other ministers advocated that we should give the Iron War Dynasty some Just look at it. If we blindly compromise and give in, the Tie Zhan Dynasty will definitely be short of people and make progress. At that time, even if we want to restore our national power, it is just a fantasy!"

"That's the reason! If you want to restore national strength, you must first have a stable and stable environment! But a stable and stable environment cannot be obtained by compromise. As the emperor, how can he even understand this point? Don’t even understand the truth? And He Zhen’s group of people are simply idiots, just blindly trying to curry favor!”

"That's right! The Iron War Dynasty's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger! Yao Ting, did you know that there was information from the day before yesterday that Wan Haoxiong had defended Jin Ge City for several months, and was finally broken by Xuan Feng a few days ago. .”

"What did you say!?" Xu Wenchuan's words were like a muffled thunder, echoing in Wan Dong's ears, making him dizzy and his mind went blank.

"Yao Ting, what's wrong with you?" Wan Dong's abnormal behavior surprised Xu Wenchuan and Ning Shan.

Wan Dong couldn't care less about explaining at this time, and asked anxiously, "Grandpa, is what you said true? Jin Ge City was really breached? Then... how about General Wan Haoxiong?"

Although Xu Wenchuan didn't understand why Wan Dong was so excited, he answered truthfully, "Jinge City was indeed breached, but General Wan Haoxiong remained calm in the face of danger and led most of the army and some of the people of Jine City to withdraw safely." After leaving Jinge City, we are now retreating to Qingfeng City."

"That is to say, General Wan Haoxiong is safe?" Wan Dong asked after taking a long breath.

Xu Wenchuan couldn't help laughing, "Yao Ting, you seem to be very concerned about this General Wan."

Wan Dong hurriedly said, "General Wan is a famous general who has shocked the entire Dongxuan Continent. I admire him very much."

Xu Wenchuan nodded and said, "You're right! Wan Haoxiong is indeed not an ordinary person, even I admire him a lot. General Wan is safe and sound, but those people who did not evacuate from Jin Ge City suffered disaster. After Xuanfeng led his troops into Jin Ge City, he actually ordered the massacre of the city for three days, and the people in Jin Ge City suffered heavy casualties. A prosperous border city turned into a hell on earth within one day!"

"Bastard! This goddamned bastard!" Xu Wenchuan didn't know it, but every word he said stabbed Wan Dong's heart like invisible knives.The uncontrollable anger, like a raging fire wrapped in a strong wind, flooded rapidly.A hardwood dining table, together with the bowls and tea sets on the table, turned into flying ash under Wan Dong's palm.It shocked Ning Shan severely.

Realizing his gaffe, Wan Dong looked at Ning Shan apologetically and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, just now I..."

Ning Shan shook her head and said with a smile, "My son is full of justice. As a mother, I am very happy!"

Xu Wenchuan hummed, and said, "Yao Ting, let alone you, even I was extremely angry when I first heard the news! Xuanfeng is too venomous. If you count the cities broken by him, there is no one who is not. The one who was slaughtered by blood. In the entire Dongxuan Continent, there are more than a million innocent people who died at his hands?"

"If this person doesn't die, what is the law of heaven!?" Wan Dong gritted his teeth and let out a roar, his hatred for Xuanfeng was not at all inferior to that for Li Baiyi.

"Grandpa, Jin Ge City dare not say that it is impenetrable, but under the defense of General Wan, it is also an iron wall. How did this Xuanfeng break through Jin Ge City?" The anger in his heart calmed down a little, Wan Dong opened his mouth and asked Xu Wenchuan.

Xu Wenchuan sighed and said, "The strongest fortress is often breached from the inside. The reason why Jin Ge City was breached was because a traitor appeared in Tiandu Kingdom."

"Traitor!?" Wan Dong's eyes suddenly widened.

"That's right! This traitor is none other than Duan Xuan, the lord of Jin Ge City! This person secretly colluded with Xuan Feng, opened the gate of Jin Ge City at night, and let Xuan Feng's army enter the city. The city is covered!"

"Duan Xuan!?"

Wan Dong is no stranger to this person, and has met him a few times.This person has a simple and honest appearance, but he did not expect that this person would become a traitor of Tiandu Kingdom.

"After Duanxuan surrendered to Xuanfeng, it is said that he was reused. Xuanfeng valued him very much, and now the official is high and noble, and he has become an upstart of the Iron War Dynasty."

"If this person falls into my hands one day, I will definitely let him die!" Thinking that countless people in Jin Ge City suffered disaster because of this person, Wan Dong gritted his teeth with hatred.

Xu Wenchuan also didn't take it to heart because Wan Dong was just indignant for a while, so he nodded and said, "It's true that everyone can punish a traitor like this!"

"Grandpa, Tiandu Kingdom is the gateway of our Qingyun Empire. If it falls into the hands of the Tie Zhan Dynasty, they can attack whenever they want, retreat when they want, and come and go freely. It will be a great disadvantage to us! I still think , the Qingyun Empire must show its attitude and form an alliance with the Tiandu Kingdom, and must not sit back and watch the Tiandu Kingdom fall into the hands of the Tie Zhan Dynasty!"

"I think so too! But judging from the emperor's intentions, it seems that he has already made a decision. I'm afraid there is nothing he can do." Xu Wenchuan sighed and said with worry on his face.
