Shendou Continent

Chapter 202 Dialogue with Dongtai
One night in early summer, in a small room in the provincial inspector's office in Dongtai, Yongzhou, two middle-aged men were quietly chatting around a candlestick.

"The conflict between Emperor Xinfeng and King Lu is deepening day by day. I think there will be sparks sooner or later." A middle-aged man with a pot belly said quietly. This person is not the inspector of Dongtai, the third-rank civil servant Hu Wenyong.The geniuses of those days have also changed a lot now, they have no cultivation base, and the years are not forgiving.

"What the adults in Taiwan said is very true. When the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman will benefit. Emperor Xinfeng and the officials and the people are at odds with each other. The king of Lu just saw the hope, so he showed his ambition. When the two powers compete, both will lose. At that time , our chance has come." A middle-aged man wearing a peacock-patterned official uniform took up the conversation.The standard in his mouth is Hu Wenyong, which is the imperial court's respectful name for the procurator.He fiddled with the candle wick with a small stick, as if he was thinking about something, and then continued: "However, it's not enough to rely on us who can only talk about it. You can't lift it with your hands or shoulders. If you want to support the lord to take the position, you still have to rely on it." It takes some force to add."

"Brother Yuheng, have you heard of the Lin'an sect?" Hu Wenyong suddenly asked the left deputy capital censor Jia Yuheng a question that sounded irrelevant.

"Lin'an Sect? I heard that it is a sect in Shaozhou. It seems that the suzerain is a young man, but there is an expert in the profound realm in the sect. You have been an acquaintance in Shaozhou, so you must know better than me." Although Jia Yuheng was puzzled , but still answered patiently.

"Well, do you know their relationship with the lord?"

"I heard that when they were in the early days, the lord sent someone to help. It is said that the young man was well appreciated by the lord, but it seems that there are not many contacts, so not many people care about this matter."

"Well, the relationship between the suzerain of Lin'an Sect and the lord is extraordinary."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Needless to say, Emperor Xinfeng, in name he holds the world's soldiers and horses, and there are many masters in the court and the public. King Lu has the full support of the faction headed by the Huguogong, so on the surface, Emperor Xinfeng dare not act rashly. You just said If you want to fight for the world, it is impossible without the support of force." After Hu Wenyong said, his eyes became deep, and it seemed that his chest was full of hills and valleys.

"You mean you can rely on Lin'an Sect? But what can they do with a small sect?" Jia Yuheng asked with some doubts.

"Their suzerain is a genius who is rare in a hundred years in the mainland. He is less than fifty now, and he is already a senior Void Realm cultivation base. Sooner or later, he will reach the peak of the mainland."

"Senior virtual realm less than fifty? Brother Wen Yong, don't make fun of me. Although I am a civil servant, I also know this level of cultivation. The general virtual realm of the empire is 80 or [-] years old, let alone Speaking of Senior Void Realm. Even a genius like Ke Wuxin did not enter the Void Realm until he was nearly fifty years old, and it is unheard of for him to reach the Void Realm at the age of less than half a century!"

"That's why he is a rare genius in the mainland!"

"Oh? Then if that's the case, the future may be promising. But in front of the eyes, the two powers are fighting each other, and the opportunity is rare and fleeting." So what about geniuses, the future is too far away, Jia Yuheng is more concerned about the current situation, and still looks a little sad.

"This young man was originally from Wuyunmen."

"You mean that Wuyunmen will fall to the lord?" Jia Yuheng was overjoyed when he heard this. With the help of Wuyunmen, their chances of winning would be much greater.

"Wuyunmen won't, but some people from Wuyunmen will."

"What does that mean?"

"Wuyunmen's thousand-year-old foundation has always been friendly with the imperial court. On the surface, it seems that it will not change easily. But Emperor Xinfeng once insulted the people of Wuyunmen, and some monks who hated Emperor Xinfeng and made good friends with Lin'anzong might not Become the lord's backup team."

"With just a few Wuyun monks, without the strength of a holy fighter, how can we shake the foundation of the empire?" Jia Yuheng smiled wryly and shook his head.

"That young man's teacher has many Profound Realm fighters, and the great elder of their sect is not a Profound Realm fighter, but a Saint Seiya!"

"Ah?" Jia Yuheng looked at Hu Wenyong in surprise, the news was too shocking.There are no more than a hundred saints in the whole continent. He always thought that the current Ouyue Empire only has five people. He never imagined that there would be a saint in such an insignificant sect.

"It's absolutely true!" Hu Wenyong replied firmly.He looked up at Jia Yuheng's appearance, knowing that he had many questions in his heart, so he simply said: "This young man is also my best friend and our staunch ally. You can trust the Lord's affairs unconditionally. Moreover, this young man and The relationship with the Holy See is also very close.”

"Really?" Jia Yuheng couldn't believe it.Back then, when Emperor Changhua came to power, in addition to the support of the clan and ministers, a key factor was also the support of the Holy See.The Holy See is a special force on the mainland, and all major empires have to give it three points.But why this young man has such a great charm and can use so much power, he still hesitates in his heart.Throughout the ages, treason has been a heinous crime. Although he was determined to follow Duke Huai, he didn't want to die in vain and take the lives of his whole family or even the entire clan.

"Brother Yuheng, I know your concerns. You can try to learn more about this so-called Lin'an sect and their suzerain named Lin You. I think my words are correct." Jia Yuheng asked repeatedly, and Hu Wenyong naturally knew He didn't explain much about his worries, he just smiled and said a few words that didn't hurt.

In this way, the secret dialogue between the two stopped here.This time, Jia Yuheng was ordered to inspect Dongtai, and found an opportunity to come to the mansion of colleagues from the Huaiwang Party to analyze the situation and exchange opinions. Unexpectedly, there would be such a big harvest, and he was both surprised and happy.

Not long after returning to Beijing, Jia Yuheng secretly investigated Lin'anzong.The suzerain is indeed a rising star with a promising future, and he is indeed a member of the Wuyun sect, who has a close relationship with the high-level Wuyun, and as Hu Wenyong said, he is also on good terms with the Holy See. Jia Yuheng gradually believed in Hu Wenyong.Although he didn't find out the true strength of the elder of the Lin'an Sect, he discovered that this sect actually had a family relationship with the Duke of Zhen. In this way, the potential strength of King Huai in the court was also increased.

Soon, the members of King Huai's Party learned about the relationship between Lin'an Sect and King Huai, and knew the true strength and network of Lin'an Sect.However, Duke Huai was orthodox in Ouyue, and the Duke of Zhen also gradually turned to Duke Huai in private. Driven by him, Duke Huai also gained a certain foundation among the nobles of the court.Emperor Xinfeng's eyes are now focused on King Lu, and he has no time to be distracted by King Huai, which also creates a good opportunity for the Huai King party to develop.

The news that the inner guard was killed in Kangzhou has also spread recently, causing an uproar in the government and the opposition.It is said that it has something to do with the Lin'an sect, but the imperial court investigated several times and could not find any direct evidence. In addition, the Holy See took the lead on behalf of the Lin'an sect, so the matter was left unsolved.

This mighty inner guard suffered a terrible loss in Kangzhou.Although the inner guard was depressed and Emperor Xinfeng was unhappy, the Baiguan and King Lu were happy. In their view, the inner guard was the face of the emperor, and what happened in Kangzhou seemed to herald the fate of Emperor Xinfeng.
