Sheng Fu

Jiang Ping understood what His Highness the Northern King was thinking, but he said bluntly, "The matter of grudges and disputes is no longer important. The powerful and influential people in the North will only resent His Highness Yuwen now."

"As long as the Ji family in the north is destroyed, Yuwen Jun will become the common enemy of the powerful families in both the north and south."

"Under these circumstances, all we need to do is contribute to His Highness Yuwen's cause. As for solving his problems, that depends on the matter. Anything even slightly big is beyond our capabilities."

Jiang Ping has always been outspoken, only concerned with what is right and wrong, and doesn't care about anything else.

Fu Cheng smiled weakly and said, "Fine, as you say."

"In recent days, we have been reorganizing government affairs. You will personally write a memorial to summarize the various situations in the northern officialdom. Yuwen Jun will surely review it in person."

"Actually, I'm also looking forward to seeing what Yuwen Jun will do next."

"This guy doesn't blink when he kills."

"If I were Yuwen Jun, I would have at least secretly left a mediocre bloodline for the Ji family in the north, but he wiped them out completely."

Sometimes, leaving a little room for maneuver can reduce a lot of resistance.

However, for Yuwen Jun, who has just entered the Lingxiao Realm, all obstacles are probably insignificant in front of him.

The momentum of the new policy is growing stronger and stronger, and it is about to be officially implemented.

……

The next day, morning.

Inside Hengchang Hall.

Jing Hanqing, Ling Yuqing, Qin Yun, Lü Zhong, and Yan Beiyou and Murong Qiushui, who had not appeared for a long time, were also present.

"Yan Beiyou, Murong Qiushui, listen to my command, quickly lead your men there and set up the venue at the foot of Shuanglong Mountain," Yuwen Jun ordered.

These two have been busy with trade with the Spirit Clan and have never been on the battlefield, but the Hengchang Sect's rear is entirely supported by these two.

If it weren't for the efforts of these two in trade, the Hengchang Sect's treasury would probably have collapsed long ago.

Nowadays, the Spirit Race and the Human Race have closer ties, and the two emperors have fought side by side. Therefore, many matters that require Yan Beiyou and Murong Qiushui to personally intervene can be postponed.

In addition, there is Prince Ping in the capital who is keeping things in order.

Yan Beiyou looked overjoyed, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Yes, sir."

Murong Qiushui was also filled with excitement and loudly replied, "Yes, sir."

The two of them arrived at Yuwen Jun's gate at the very beginning of the establishment of Hengchang Sect, and were true veterans and meritorious officials.

Yan Beiyou's son, Yan Zhao, has also made many military achievements on the battlefield. In terms of combat strength alone, Yan Beiyou is probably no match for his son. However, it is likely that his son would not dare to fight his father.

However, Yan Beiyou would never spar with his son on a whim, because if he lost, he would really lose face.

Although the members of the Lonely Moon Pavilion, led by Murong Qiushui, had never been on the battlefield, almost all the affairs within the Hengchang Sect were handled by the members of the Lonely Moon Pavilion.

The reason why the two were so excited was not because their sect was becoming more and more prosperous, but because Yuwen Jun had truly fulfilled the promise made at the beginning of the Hengchang Sect.

Everything we do now is a major event that benefits the country and its people.

If nothing unexpected happens, Murong Qiushui and Yan Beiyou will also have their own separate biographies in the history books.

The two quickly went to the foot of Shuanglong Mountain to set up the venue.

Then Yuwen Jun looked at Ling Yuqing, Qin Yun, and Lü Zhong. It was probably the first time that the leaders of the Dark Dragon and Panlong had appeared in Hengchang Palace at the same time.

Yuwen Jun chuckled and said, "The three of you should conserve your energy for now. I can't say exactly how long you can conserve your energy. As soon as Chi Yuan comes to pick you up, you should immediately follow Chi Yuan."

Intelligence must never be neglected.

Even though the Star Luo spy network has long covered all parts of the human race, there are still many omissions. With the addition of Panlong and Anlong, we try our best to fill in the gaps. Even so, there are still some who slip through the net.

But as long as the overall situation is manageable, that's fine. At this critical juncture, Yuwen Jun cannot strive for perfection in everything.

Ling Yuqing and the other two bowed deeply at the same time and then withdrew.

At this point, only Jing Hanqing and Yuwen Jun remained in the main hall.

"The Lingyun Mountains are still being mined for treasure. With only seven days, isn't that too rushed?" Jing Hanqing asked with some concern.

Yuwen Jun shook his head slightly and said, "There's no need to rush. Right now, all the major families are terrified. The faster we act, the stronger their panic and anxiety will become."

"Moreover, I am right here. If any unexpected situation occurs in the north or south, I can rush to the battlefield immediately. In fact, there is a reason for these seven days."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hanqing's eyes showed a hint of confusion, and he asked suspiciously, "I hope the Sect Master can answer my questions."

Yuwen Jun said with a smug look, "As the saying goes, 'seven steps will surely kill,' I deliberately set it for seven days later to clearly inform all the ancient nobles that after seven days, I will unleash the killing move."

"It doesn't matter if they are fearful, hateful, or even rebel."

"Because there will always be some wavering observers who will make a final decision within these seven days."

"I reckon that one after another, people will go to Xie Yiming or Fu Cheng and take the initiative to bow their heads and say conciliatory words to change their allegiance."

"In this way, many more people will suddenly appear to support the new policy. These people already have a certain amount of strength and resources, which will undoubtedly be a huge benefit to the North-South talks seven days later." "By taking a tough stance, we can force some people who are afraid of everything to submit."

Jing Hanqing then realized what was happening and said with heartfelt admiration, "Your Majesty's talent and strategy are truly admirable."

"Xie Yiming and Fu Cheng probably never expected that a large group of people would suddenly appear to curry favor with them in these seven days."

Yuwen Jun smiled mysteriously and said, "I dare not say a large group, but some people will definitely side with Xie Yiming or Fu Cheng. As long as someone takes the lead, after the North-South talks end, people will come to Fu Cheng or Xie Yiming to plead for them."

"Of course, after the North-South talks, it will be difficult to consider Xie Yiming and Fu Cheng's feelings if we continue to plead for them. At that time, we will kill those who can be killed and let those who can be let go. This move will also strengthen the real power in Xie Yiming and Fu Cheng's hands to a certain extent."

"Behind every seemingly insignificant thing lies a hidden story."

"However, there is one more thing that you need to spread the word behind the scenes to quell public opinion."

Jing Hanqing's expression hardened, and he humbly asked for instructions: "Sect Master, please give your orders."

Yuwen Jun took a deep breath before slowly saying, "Holy Spirit Stones are a valuable item. Now that we have seized a large number of Holy Spirit Stones, it is enough to construct an array that would give even a monarch a headache."

"The civil officials in the imperial court only care about how the new policies will affect them."

"But the military, and some warmongering civil officials, will be concerned about where this batch of Holy Spirit Stones will go."

“Some people have even figured out how to use the Holy Spirit Stone to strengthen the defenses of the capital. Some cabinet members within the Hengchang Sect are even thinking about how to use the Holy Spirit Stone to set up a large field in Henglong Mountain so that the Hengchang Sect can be immortal.”

"But I have decided to hand over the Holy Spirit Stone to the Spirit Clan's King of Zhen'an."

"But once I make this decision, I will inevitably be criticized by many civil and military officials of the human race. In fact, my popularity will be ruined in a short period of time, because the Spirit Race has Bei Hanfei and Gu Yong's son is also in the Spirit Race. Some people will say that I am too selfish, and some people will say that I am siding with outsiders. In short, I will face all kinds of opinions."

"Therefore, I need a legitimate reason to cover up my true motives."

At this point, Yuwen Jun also looked helpless.

Even now, full of vigor and confidence, Yuwen Jun will never forget that even when the Demon Queen and the Spirit Clan's Zhen'an King joined forces, they failed to break through Xinghan City, which was guarded by Mu Chun.

The losses in that battle were not significant, but it was extremely humiliating.

This also allowed Mu Chun to achieve the legendary status of a demon god of war.

Iron Mang City is the Spirit Clan's first and roughly last line of defense. It cannot afford any mistakes. Once this line of defense is breached, the Demon Wolf Riders will march south.

Although Emperor Ling once stated that there were still some experts from the Spirit Clan who had entered that sea of ​​suffering but had not yet been mobilized, did the Demon Clan not have any hidden experts waiting for the opportunity to make the final decision?
Since the start of the great war, the battle for Xinghan City has been the most nerve-wracking one.

Mu Chun alone suppressed the Spirit Clan's Zhen'an King and the Demon Realm Queen to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads.

This is an extremely dangerous sign.

This made Mu Chun great, but it also deprived the Spirit Network of its ability to continue exploring the interior of the Demon Realm.

No one knows how many powerful figures remain in the Demon Realm, and even less does anyone know when the Demon Lord, who has fallen into a deep slumber, will awaken.

However, Yuwen Jun knew one thing clearly: right now, if the Spirit Clan and the Demon Clan were to engage in a large-scale battle, even if the Spirit Emperor personally led the expedition and the Demon Lord remained in seclusion, the Spirit Clan's army might not be able to gain the upper hand, and might even suffer heavy losses.

As for the true nature of the Spirit Clan's resources, Yuwen Jun couldn't speculate.

But the Holy Spirit Stone is truly a heaven-defying treasure. It first appeared in Nanwang City and then in the Purple Qi Mountains. All signs indicate that only that white-robed God Emperor possesses such a heaven-defying resource.

The Holy Spirit Stone is a primordial object, and no one knows where it was born.

Ancient texts contain very few records of the Holy Spirit Stones, but it seems that the first God Emperor, or perhaps a God Emperor of another generation, discovered a large number of Holy Spirit Stones by chance and then took them for himself.

Perhaps some powerful families also secretly possess Holy Spirit Stones, but the quantity is not large enough to build a large field that would give even a monarch a major headache.

In the Battle of Nanwang City, if the Divine Emperor hadn't used the Holy Spirit Stone to set up a Heaven-Slaying and Earth-Shattering Array, severely injuring the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord would probably have already unified the world.

Many incredible intelligence or secret weapons only appear in the most crucial battles. Before the crucial battles occur, most wars are actually about testing the limits, gathering intelligence, and preparing the situation.

This isn't like looking at flowers through the fog; it's like searching for beautiful flowers in a barren land.

Yuwen Jun said self-deprecatingly, "Speaking of which, although I did not directly participate in the battle of Xinghan City, I still shared the reputation of incompetence with the Prince of Zhen'an and the Queen of the Demon Realm."

"The only way to defend the Iron Mang City is to reinforce it."

"And you, secretly spread rumors that His Majesty the Human Emperor and His Majesty the Spirit Emperor joined forces in the Chaos Space to fight a fierce battle against the God Emperor, and that the Spirit Emperor and the Human Emperor had a slight advantage in the battle."

"In reality, the two of them were slightly at a disadvantage, but in order to quell public opinion and boost morale, we had no choice but to lie and let them have a slight advantage this time."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hanqing's heart skipped a beat, because she knew this wasn't a rumor, it was the truth.

"The reason why the Holy Spirit Stone was given to the Spirit Race is that the God Emperor secretly manipulated the Purple Gold Alliance. The two emperors fought side by side, won the victory, destroyed the Purple Gold Alliance, and the treasure belonged to the human race, while the Spirit Stone belonged to the Spirit Race."

"This is an extremely fair sharing."

"Remember, the direction of public opinion must be that the human race and the spirit race will jointly achieve victory."

"As for the Iron Mang City defense line, don't say another word."

Jing Hanqing nodded solemnly and said, "Understood, I will go down and give the order right away."

Yuwen Jun said, "Very well, I'll head to Iron Mang City later and bring the Holy Spirit Stone to them." (End of Chapter)
