Otherworld Qin

Chapter 56 Chapter 62

"You've thought about it a long time ago? What's going on?" The drunkard looked at him and didn't answer in a hurry, but pointed to Xiaotong. "Xiaotong can answer this question for you. Xiaotong can tell you about it with your big brother Shengxuan." The emperor’s new policy recently.” Guzhu is still a relatively open country. Every time the emperor submits his new proposal to the Elder’s Court for consideration, he will post the same proposal in the central hall of Karin, and all students can submit it to the college. Put forward your own ideas, and once the suggestion is adopted, you will get a bonus. The most important thing is that this method can attract the attention of the royal family. Only a few people's suggestions have been adopted, but such a record still makes people excited, hoping that one day they will be the same lucky ones.

Xiaotong lowered his head and blushed hesitantly for a long time before he said, "When you were away, the royal family suddenly posted a new policy, which roughly meant to make adjustments to the current army, and decided to abolish all existing private troops. They have been brought under the unified control of the state, and it has been decided that several major chambers of commerce will be acquired by the state. There will be no free chambers of commerce in the future, and most of the goods will be allocated by the state." Sheng Xuan was startled when he heard the first half, Chilong Just after the annihilation of the private army, the royal family decided to recruit the private army, but what is the reason for the second half?If the royal family is for the sake of Chilong, why should the chamber of commerce be included in the royal family?
The drunkard said from the side, "Can't you see this? The Lone Bamboo royal family is actively preparing for war, and I am afraid that a real chaos will start soon." "Chaos? Do you want to fight that country?" Sheng Xuan finished speaking I also felt that this was inappropriate, and after a little thought, I immediately said, "Could it be that the teacher is talking about civil strife?"

The drunkard smiled, "You have a bit of a brain, but you already know so many things yourself, so it's not unusual to think about it." He took a sip of his wine and continued, "Although Chunyu's family has a close relationship with the royal family on the surface, and has controlled military affairs for more than 300 years. It can be said that the Chunyu family was a sharp knife in the hands of the royal family, but the relationship in the past few years has taken a turn for the worse, and the royal family often feels like walking on eggshells. The time is quite different. The prince has turned 17 this year and is ready to take up an official position. Therefore, the emperor wanted to take the army into his own hands, so he let the prince enter an important military and political position. On the one hand, gathering private troops is to weaken the power of the domestic family. Strength, and secondly, you can find a better reason to dismiss Chunyu's family. After all, everyone knows that these private troops are usually arrogant and difficult to manage, and only those who have experienced battles like Chunyu's father and son can subdue them. The big families are dominated by each other, and there are constant frictions behind the scenes, where is it so easy to manage now that they are gathered together? This is the quagmire set up by the royal family to completely trap Chunyu's father and son in it."

"As for the Merger and Acquisition Chamber of Commerce, it is better to understand that Lone Bamboo is a country open to business. There are so many chambers of commerce that have done all kinds of business all over the seven countries. Although it has brought huge wealth to Lone Bamboo, there is also a huge crisis at the same time. , because every chamber of commerce will look for a big power to join, just like the red dragon is the purse of the royal family, this time the royal family's acquisition will directly take them into their own pockets. On the surface, although the bosses of these chambers of commerce have no direct losses, But it grabbed the money bags of several big families at once. Would you agree to take money out of your pocket? But your private army has been deprived, how can you react? What's more serious is that you lost the chamber of commerce. Then they lost the support of materials, no private army, no money, no materials, then these big families became meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered."

Shengxuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Although what the teacher said makes sense, I don't think it's that simple. First of all, this proposal will not be passed by the elders' house, not to mention that there are so many families and so many private troops. The royal family is not in a hurry." There will be good fruits to eat, not to mention the army is in Chunyu's hands."

The drunkard chuckled, "You really lack political savvy, so let me analyze it carefully for you. Do you know why I don't allow you to enter the central hall area? Because there is a huge political whirlpool there. Do you think the prince Are all the attendants around His Highness just accompanying students? In fact, they are collecting talents in the college every day. This kind of thing has been going on for seven years. Over the past seven years, the major families have continued to expand their power. In fact, this small The small Kalin is a battlefield, but who can compare to the temptation of the royal family? So in the end, a large number of masters were recruited by the royal family, and then the loyal people were selected and placed skillfully in each army. Holding military power, it would be better to say that it is a scapegoat, but it has already been slowly set up, and the real military power has gradually returned to the hands of the royal family."

"As for the business of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, in my opinion, it was also planned by the royal family. The relationship between Jingman and Sanmiao has been close all these years. Do it yourself. When Nanming had civil strife and Yu Wenhong was killed, this crisis intensified. Originally, Jingman and Sanmiao lacked minerals, so they lacked weapons. Normally, Guzhu should strictly control the sale of weapons, but the royal family unexpectedly opened up. The sale of weapons, and the distribution right to the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, on the surface, the royal family has no scheming, and let a large number of weapons flow into the enemy country, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is actually the most brilliant way. He sold a large number of weapons to Jingman, but sold a small amount of weapons to Sanmiao. Sanmiao would not be reconciled, but from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce, it was all because Jingman was powerful and put him under great pressure. , This is to say in a disguised form that it is Jingman who does not allow the sale of weapons to Sanmiao, and the recent robbery of goods from the chamber of commerce has exacerbated the deterioration of the relationship between the two countries. Is there a better strategy than this to worsen the relationship between the two countries?"

"And the most vicious thing is probably that Chilong opened up the trade route to Nanming. Not only did it secretly transport a large number of weapons there, but it also emptied Jingman and Sanmiao's financial resources in the rear. Nanming's resistance forces got these The weapon caused them a lot of trouble there, it was no less than lighting a big fire in the backyard, and Jingman knew where the weapon was transported through the territory of Sanmiao, so Jingman's Bone King would have what idea?"

Hearing this, Shengxuan's sweat has come down, is it really as the teacher said?Wouldn't that mean that he was also severely used once?If the situation continues like this, can his Tianyi Sect really stay out of the incident and not be affected?I'm afraid this possibility is very small, thinking of this, he can't help but start to worry, worried that the brothers of Tianyimen will be implicated because of this matter, it seems that he should find a chance to sneak back to Nanming and make a thorough adjustment of Tianyimen, otherwise he will be killed. Being drawn into this huge vortex, I am afraid that there will really be no bones left.

The drunkard looked at Shengxuan and said, "In fact, the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce is a butcher knife in the hands of the royal family. When he first rose, no one knew that he was backed by the royal family, but when he became bigger, he could no longer be removed. The big family can only watch the butter on their plates being roasted by the hot sharp knife, and then slowly flow into Chilong's plate. It seems that it is the result of a secret battle between several major chambers of commerce, which also gave the royal family a reason to abolish the chamber of commerce. It seems that this whole incident is probably a conspiracy carefully planned by the royal family."

Chengxuan's cold sweat finally rolled down his back. He didn't expect so many things to be involved in it. It's understandable if the Elder's House had a close relationship with Sanmiao, but why did Chunyu's family lose the trust of the royal family?Hearing this, the drunkard replied, "Actually, the root of everything is desire. It is caused by human beings' endless desire for power and money. Chunyu's family has been in charge of the military for more than three hundred years. How can such a force be content to be subordinated to others? So he He began to contact several major forces, and even married his only daughter into the prime minister's family, but it was a pity that this daughter died suddenly and mysteriously eight years ago. Taking this incident as a watershed, Chunyu's family completely lost the trust of the royal family. At that time, the royal family began to evade Chunyu's family's military power step by step. When it comes to this matter, it has a lot to do with me. Alas, it's a pity that I asked the royal family for something, so I became the royal family's killer."

Hearing this sentence, Chengxuan suddenly remembered what Helianzan once said. At that time, he chose a drunkard as his teacher, but Helianzan strongly opposed it, saying that this person was a lunatic who once killed three generals , and wiped out a division, the drunkard laughed, "You must have heard of this story, saying that I once wiped out a division, how could I have such a great ability by myself? It's just that someone put this charge on On my head, it’s just to cover up the fact to the outside world, in fact, this is all done by the imperial family’s Jin Yuwei, I just shot and killed a few generals in the division.”

"Why did the teacher do that? Is it just to be able to enter Karin as a teacher?" The alcoholic laughed when he heard it. matter, so that shot was just a condition of exchange."

Shengxuan asked several times, but the drunkard refused to tell what was going on. In the end, he could only bury the question in his heart.

In the next few days, Shengxuan couldn't cheer up what he did. The people who hit him the hardest were He Lianzan and the people from the Chilong Chamber of Commerce. He didn't know how he would face it in the future. I went to the chamber of commerce to have a look, but after hearing these things, he was no longer in the mood, and kept wondering in his heart, "Is Helianzan really that kind of person? But is his loyalty to himself and his feelings for Ba Le Are they all fake? Maybe Helian Zan was just being used by the royal family."

On this day, Xiaotong followed him to the central auditorium to attend a class. Seeing his sullen look, he said, "Brother Chengxuan, you seem to be very preoccupied recently. Are you still worried about those things?" No more." The two of them accidentally bumped into a person while they were talking, and they only heard a scolding, "Are you blind? How did you bump into someone?"

Cheng Xuan took a closer look, and there was a beautiful woman standing in front of her. She was fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was unusually coquettish. Just now, Xiaotong was busy talking and didn't notice that she scratched her a bit, but she scolded her loudly. Xiaotong hurriedly He kept apologizing, but she refused to let her go. If Xiaotong hadn't tried his best to stop Shengxuan from anger, he really wanted to rush up and teach her a lesson. Suddenly, Doudou in Xiaotong's arms woke up and crawled onto her head twice. The man's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said arrogantly with his finger, "That little monkey will count it as compensation for me, and I will spare you two poor ghosts, or I will kill you." He reached out to grab Doudou, Doudou was so easy to bully, a white light flashed and a small red and swollen handprint suddenly appeared on the man's hand, and he heard a scream, "Okay, you still dare to hurt someone, look I won't teach you two poor ghosts a good lesson." As he spoke, he rushed towards Xiaotong with all his teeth and claws.

In terms of skill, those people might not be able to beat Xiaotong alone, but Xiaotong dodged left and right and dared not make a move. At this moment, the person's followers rushed over, and when they saw her fighting with others, they rushed to help , Shengxuan couldn't help it anymore, he was reluctant to make a move when the two girls did it, but now how could a group of big men chase and beat Xiaotong and just sit back and watch?Immediately, he threw a few people to the ground with his hand like lightning. This movement vented all the suffocation in his heart, and he felt refreshed all at once, only to hear the little woman exclaim "Okay, in this academy I haven't I heard that whoever dares to attack me, Huangfu Ling'er, if you have the ability, stand still and see if I don't peel your skin off." Then he turned and left, and those followers hurriedly chased away .

The two of them didn't care about it, so they went directly to the Central Auditorium to listen to the class. As a result, the lecture that day was about art and genres. In the auditorium, Xiaotong continued to talk about wonderful passages, and then taunted him for falling asleep and missing those wonderful content.

Just when the two of them were walking down the steps, they suddenly heard someone giggling and coquettishly behind them, "You two poor ghosts, see if you are still running there, come up to me." With this shout, they were immediately surrounded by a group of people. Some of them were her entourage, but most of them were students of the college. Before the two of them could speak, they rushed forward together. Shengxuan fought with them unceremoniously. During the lively fight, he suddenly heard a person shouting loudly. Shouted, "I thought someone was acting wild here. It turned out to be the eldest lady of the elder's family. Don't you feel ashamed that you are just two freshmen who have called so many helpers?" It has nothing to do with you, I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." "Yo, you're welcome? What can you do if you're rude? Don't think your grandpa is an elder so I dare not touch you." He waved to the people behind him, "Come on, teach these bullying mangy dogs a good lesson." With the addition of this group of people, the scene suddenly became lively, but Sheng Xuan secretly pulled Xiaotong aside, and then slipped away while no one was paying attention. Out of the central area.

Thinking of Huangfu Linger's arrogant and rude expression during the day that night, Shengxuan was really angry and hated. If he hadn't really wanted to teach him a good lesson in the academy, he was sulking when he suddenly heard someone calling him outside. He hurried out and saw that it was Ba Le, "Why are you here? Could it be that something happened to the Chamber of Commerce?" Ba Le shook his head with a smile, "I'm leaving so I came to see you, maybe I won't have a chance to see you again in the future." "Go, go there?" "I want to go back to the grassland, which is my home. Now the royal family is going to abolish the private army and my ordinary brothers are gone, so there is no point for me to stay, and I haven't been back for many years." I want to go back and have a look." Shengxuan thought about it for a long time, but felt that this is good, at least it can get Ba Le out of this quagmire, so he said with a smile, "That's good, I'm also upset by the recent incident, Then go back and treat it as a refreshment, and you can come back if you miss us." Saying goodbye to Ba Le with a warm hug.

Bale is gone. This straightforward grassland man has always given him a good impression. Although sometimes he speaks without thinking, he shows his true temperament. Shengxuan has the most temper with him in the chamber of commerce. Rarely, but every time we can talk together, it is sad to see him leave now.

But within two days, a member of the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce came to him suddenly. Seeing the anxious expression on the man's face, Sheng Xuan knew that something had happened, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" "Master Sheng Xuan, you already know." Do you?" "What do I know?" The man wiped his sweat before saying eagerly, "Balle has an accident, he... wants to see you at last." Sheng Xuan only felt his head buzzing and lost the ability to think, He hurriedly pulled the man up, "Take me there quickly."

After entering the Red Dragon Chamber of Commerce, everyone saw sad faces, and Sheng Xuan's face lost all color. Could it be that Ba Le is dead?He hurried to the inside, but bumped into Helian Zan head-on. Before he could open his mouth, he said anxiously to Convenience, "Brother, you are back. I am planning to send someone to look for you again." Shengxuan said without hesitation They hurriedly asked, "How is Balak?"

"He,, he is seriously injured, I'm afraid he won't be able to die." Shengxuan didn't dare to delay after hearing this, and hurried into Ba Le's room. After walking a few steps, Baler was already in a coma. From the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was seriously injured and caused by excessive blood loss. "Why didn't you find a doctor?" That wound is very troublesome, I'm afraid..." Hearing this, Cheng Xuan gently lifted the quilt, and suddenly saw a huge wound on Ba Le's chest. Although it had been bandaged, the blood stains that came out were still terrifying. It showed that the wound was so huge that the whole person was almost split in half, and the left arm had disappeared.

Chengxuan's tears flowed down immediately, and he asked fiercely, "Who did it?" He Lianzan shook his head, "I don't know, originally Baler was going back to the grassland, but there was an ambush on the way, and when we rushed over, people had already That's it." He Lian Zan actually covered his face and wept bitterly, a man of seven feet was crying so distressingly.

Shengxuan gently touched Baler's wound, wanting to see how it was treated, after all, he still knew some medical skills, but his touch felt cold, which immediately surprised him, "How could this be? "Du He whispered beside him, "When the person was carried back, the whole body was frozen into ice. Although we carefully removed the freezing of the wound, it still didn't solve the problem. Now the wound has not healed at all. If this continues, I'm afraid..." Chengxuan already knew that this was a wound caused by the magic ice blade. If the ice on the outside was simply removed, the inside of the wound would still be eroded by magic. It is hopeless.

Suddenly he remembered his internal strength, didn't he absorb a lot of Frost Fighting Qi and magic when he fought Jun Moyan that day?Thinking of this, he suddenly regained his energy, and told Duhe and the others, "You all go out, maybe I can save Ba Le." Hearing these words, the members of the chamber of commerce were shocked, and just wanted to go forward to ask what it was There is a way, but they are all stopped by Du He: "Okay, let's go out, I think Master Shengxuan will definitely find a way, we will cause trouble here, so we might as well go outside to ask for God's blessing when we have that time, it is still a little bit of effort .” People often think of heaven and gods when they are helpless, even in countries without faith.

Seeing that everyone was going out, Shengxuan hurriedly mobilized his internal energy and slowly pressed his hand on Bale's wound. Immediately, waves of icy cold energy poured into his body, and slowly returned to his dantian along with the internal energy, and then The ice-cold internal force slowly began to rotate.

After nearly an hour of hard work, Baler's body gradually recovered a little temperature, and Sheng Xuan was already very tired, especially the sleepiness after absorbing the energy made him unable to resist, he staggered open the door and opened the door to meet the people outside. The man said, "I've tried my best. Go in and take care of Balak." He walked out of the room after saying that. He wanted to find a place to lie down for a while, but he fell to the ground in a burst of dizziness just after taking two steps. He hurriedly carried him to the next room, only to find that he was just tired and fell asleep, so he was relieved.

Twenty minutes later, Sheng Xuan opened his eyes, got up and went back to Baler's room, and saw that his medicine had been changed, and someone was guarding him next to him, "How is Baler?" "It's much better, hey, Sheng Xuan Why did you get up, young master? I saw you passed out just now, so go back and rest quickly." "I'm fine, is Brother He there? I have something to discuss with him." The man hurriedly told him where Helian Zan was going.

He found Helian Zan before he could speak, and he was hugged tightly, "Good brother, thank you for saving Ba Le." As he spoke, he shed tears again, and he also hugged Helian tightly, "They are all my brothers." Why do you still say thank you." Then he pushed Helian away and said, "I think Barr's injury is caused by an extremely powerful frost magic. In my opinion, although there are many people who practice frost magic, but few people can reach this level. It's rare, I once met a person whose frost magic is very powerful, but he hasn't reached this level, but I think maybe it's his master or brother." "What's this person's name? "Jun Moyan." Helian Zan couldn't help thinking for a moment when he heard the name, "Jun Moyan? I don't seem to have heard of this name before. I'll have someone check it out right away. I believe there will be news soon."
