My plug-in is a fairy grass

Yunxiao Peak, Nine Heavens Palace

"Disciple see Master."

"Well, get up."

Looking at the apprentice who hadn't seen him for more than a year, Yan Xiling had a kind smile on his face, and then he was slightly moved:

"Zhen'er, your cultivation is already in the middle stage of Zifu?"

"Yes." Yang Zhen lowered her head and replied.

Although he knows the technique of restraining breath, it is easy to be seen through in front of Yuanying Patriarch, which is not beautiful, so it is better to show his cultivation in a big way.

Sure enough, the ancestor was surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. He just had a narrow smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Zhen'er, the old man is right, you are really a lucky person, haha!"

Yang Zhen scratched her head in embarrassment.It seems that the ancestor attributed his rapid improvement in cultivation to Qin Mingyue.He happened to be so happy.

At this time, a pretty woman came in and brought him tea: "Junior brother, please have some tea."

Yang Zhen was taken aback: "Sister Tan, are you still here?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had been reckless.

Tan Mingzhen was punished and locked up in Jiuxiao Palace for three years because of his malicious attack on Qin Mingyue.It has been four years now, and it is said that she should return to Chongzhou to take charge of the Demon Town Hall, and continue to compete with Kuang Wenzhi for the control of Kuangzhou. This is what this woman should do in the usual way.

No matter which item, it means a lot of wealth, a steady stream of resources, and the most prominent power.

How could she be willing to give up all of this and still stay on this snow-capped Yunxiao Peak?

When I was wondering, I saw Tan Mingzhen lowered his head and explained: "Master said that my foundation is not very solid, and he will continue to guide me for a few years."

After finishing speaking, her pretty face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were full of radiance.

Yang Zhen was stunned, and couldn't help admiring the old ancestor's methods, and said with a soft smile: "Congratulations, senior sister."

Tan Mingzhen's smooth and jade-like face was radiant, but he said humbly: "How can you compare with your younger brother? In just one year, you have already reached the fifth floor of the Purple Mansion. Senior sister is very envious of this speed of cultivation. Lah! Really speaking, the younger brother is the lucky star!"

"It's coming later..."

"Mingzhen!" The ancestor's shout came from the high platform.

Tan Mingzhen's expression froze, his voice stopped abruptly, and a bit of panic appeared on his face.

"It's none of your business here, go down." Yan Xiling said with a straight face.

"Yes." Tan Mingzhen replied softly, bowed and exited the door.

A trace of doubt flashed across Yang Zhen's heart.

"Zhen'er, why did you return to the clan this time?" Yan Xiling asked.

Yang Zhen hurriedly withdrew her thoughts, and told about the matter of being recruited by Zhi Yuan.

"Well, it should be Dai Chenghong who recommended you in front of the sect leader," Yan Xiling said, "Senior sister, I admire you for solving Zhao Zhen's extermination case in one day! "

That's it, Yang Zhen understood.

At first he thought it was an order from Yan Xiling, so after returning to the sect, he hurried to see the master.In fact, it's true if you think about it. Of course, Yan Xiling would know about such a major event as the assassination of Emperor Xu, but how to solve it, he, the ancestor of the Yuanying, would not worry about it.

At this time, Tan Mingzhen came to report from afar outside the hall: "I would like to report to Master, the sect master brother please see me."

There is a formation in the main hall, the voice inside cannot be transmitted, but the outside can come in.

"Oh, let him come in." Yan Xiling raised his hand.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen stood up and prepared to leave.The old ancestor waved his hand and said softly: "You are my true disciple, it doesn't matter if you listen to the big or small things of the sect, just remember not to spread it to outsiders."

Yang Zhen responded quickly.

……

The door of the palace opened, Hong Zhengli walked in quickly, saluted the ancestor Yan respectfully, turned around to see Yang Zhen, and greeted Yang Zhen with a smile.

"What's the matter?" the old man asked.

Hong Zhengli cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Old Ancestor, Sha Tongtian sent an envoy to request that the number of schoolchildren participating in the Zongmen election in Shazhou be increased to 100. I hope that the number of students who will be selected into the academy will be no less than ten. people."

"Why?" Yan Xiling frowned: "There are only more than 200 spiritual root disciples born in Shazhou every year. The sect has given them five pre-selection places, but the number of people selected each year is often only one. The number of two. They are not willing to send students with good qualifications, but now they want to expand the number of places. Do they think that my door of Yunxiaozong is easy to come in?"

"Old Patriarch, calm down," Hong Zhengli cupped his hands, smiled at Yang Zhen again, and said, "The envoy of the State of Qin reported that the Empress of the State of Qin presided over the government affairs yesterday, and she has vetoed Shazhou's request for inclusion."

"So that's how it is," Yan Xiling said with a sneer, "What a capricious villain!"

Then he said with a smile to Yang Zhen: "Your queen Taoist companion is a sensible person, and he didn't covet such a small gain."

Yang Zhen smiled slightly: "Zongmen's kindness to Mingyue, she has always remembered it in her heart, and she dare not forget it."

Although he did not participate in the court meeting of Qin State yesterday, he heard Qin Mingyue mention it afterwards.During the year she left, Sha Zhou proposed enclosing several times.Many people in the ruling and opposition parties of the Qin Kingdom believed that this was a good opportunity to expand the territory and glorify the ancestors. They wanted to accept it, but she vetoed it, and ordered someone to report the results of the court discussion to Yunxiaozong.

"Very good!" Yan Xiling nodded, and looked at the master: "Zhengli, what do you think should be done?"

Hong Zhengli had thought about it before he came, and immediately replied: "I think this matter is not very important. Ten apprenticeships will not take up much resources of the sect. If it is really a person with poor qualifications and cannot be cultivated, after eight years Just send them back to their country of origin.”

Yan Xiling remained silent. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yang Zhen frowning slightly, and couldn't help asking: "Zhen'er, what do you think?"

Yang Zhen lowered her head and pondered for a while, then replied: "Master, my disciple thinks that Sha Tongtian's request is a kind of temptation. Since the disappearance of the second leader, Shazhou's strength has not been as good as before, so it is trying to attach itself to Qin State and rely on grass There is no way to maintain the power of the past."

"Now being rejected by the Qin State, and the internal attachment is not possible, Shazhou must be worried that my Yunxiao Sect will be angry and panic in his heart, so he made this temptation with the idea of ​​advancing instead of retreating."

"Teacher's words are reasonable," the ancestor said with a smile on his face appreciatively, "Then according to your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

For the situation that Shazhou and Yunxiaozong have always been in harmony with each other, Yang Zhen thought about it very early.However, at that time, others were soft-spoken, and no one would listen to them even if they had some kind of strategy. Seeing the old ancestor's question now, he suddenly regained his energy, and expressed his thoughts that had been carefully thought out——

"Shazhou is located in the north, straddling the two states of Qin and Xu. In the past, because our Yunxiao Sect fought endlessly with Qin, we needed to win over and stabilize the state, so we gave it great autonomy. As a result, for hundreds of years, the state was actually Dissociate from our Xu country and form a country of its own."

"Now that the state of Qin is on good terms with us, the status of Shazhou has plummeted, and there is only one golden elixir left in the state, and its strength is not as good as before. Why don't we take advantage of this golden opportunity to completely solve the problem of Shazhou!"

"How to solve it?" The ancestor remained calm.

"Reform the soil and return to the people!" Yang Zhen said firmly.

"First, Shazhou is treated as an inland state, divided into several counties and counties, and the Zongmen dispatched county halls, county temples, state palaces, etc. At the same time, Xu Guo sent county magistrates, prefects, state shepherds, etc. Management. All in all, various administrative measures are the same as those in the Mainland.”

"Secondly, for the soldiers who have made great contributions to the battlefield of Hanzhou Demon Race, grant the land of Shazhou, and promise them to mine the spiritual materials in the territory, and divide them in half with the Zongmen, so as to consolidate the rule in Shazhou and take over the land of Shazhou. profit……"

"Thirdly, recruit Sha Tongtian and his backbone to serve in the sect. First, he will be trained for one to two years. If he is obedient, he will be assigned a suitable position. If he is stubborn, he will be imprisoned forever!"

"Hahaha, Zhen'er can be called a newborn calf!" Yan Xiling laughed heartily, Hong Zhengli also smiled with a smile on his face, but looked at Yang Zhen with some amusement.

"What if Sha Tongtian refuses to come?" Patriarch suddenly asked.

"He is only in the mid-stage of a Golden Core, how dare he disobey his orders?" Yang Zhen said disdainfully.

Of course he has this confidence in his heart.Not to mention Dandan Zhuzhu in his space, and Qing Xiaoling and others, now every monk whose strength is no less than that of the middle-stage Golden Core, is himself, after being integrated with Yiyi, he can also fight against the middle-stage Golden Core. Go up a bucket.

What's more, the second master in Shazhou, Mr. Sha Xun Haisha, has been locked in the space by him all the time!

At first, Yang Zhen had plans to release this person or hand it over to the sect, but as Qin Mingyue blamed Daye Kingdom for the ancestral land incident, it was difficult for this participant at that time to appear in front of the world , can only continue to be imprisoned.

Most of the time, Sassoon Hai acts as a sparring partner for everyone in the space.

Therefore, even if Yang Zhen didn't know 100% of the strength of the people in Shazhou, she was at least [-]% to [-]% sure to deal with it.

Sha Tongtian is just a household dog!

"Haha——" Yan Xiling continued to laugh: "Zheng Li, look, my apprentice doesn't even pay attention to the mid-stage golden core!"

"The old ancestor knows the pearl with his eyes, and the disciples he selected are of course the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they are extraordinary." Hong Zhengli praised.

Being praised so much by the two most powerful bigwigs of Yunxiao Sect, Yang Zhen had a thick skin, and she couldn't help but blush at this time, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Although your method is good, but..." Yan Xiling pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Zhengli, go tell that Sha Tongtian, and say that we have agreed to his request. We want him to be honest and do things well. If you want to think wildly, you will cut off your retreat. I, Cloud Firmament Sect, will not make things difficult for him!"

"Follow the decree of the law." Hong Zhengli said loudly, without any hesitation in his tone.

Yang Zhen was taken aback, this is completely different from what he just said!

"What else is there?" the ancestor asked.

"The envoy sent by Kuang Guo was still concerned about the killing of Elder Yuou the year before last. He believed that my Yunxiao Sect and Kuang Guo were friendly neighbors and should not have helped Qin Guo and killed their third elder!"

"What did they ask for?"

"Ask us to cede Tianshui County as compensation."

"Ridiculous!" Yan Xiling said angrily, "The Queen of Qin killed the person. They dared not go to Qin to settle accounts, but instead found us. Do you think my Yunxiao Sect is easy to bully? Tell them, starting from New Year's Day next year, My Cloud Sect will take back Tianshui County and will no longer rent it out!"

"The old man wants to see if they have the ability to snatch Tianshui County away!"

"Obey!" Hong Zhengli replied loudly.

Yang Zhen was even more confused. The ancestor was so gentle with Shazhou, which had only one golden elixir left, but he was so tough with Kuang Kingdom, which was one of the seven great kingdoms with Yunxiaozong. ?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and just sat aside and observed quietly.

The next two things were more or less related to him.

"The third thing," Hong Zhengli continued to report: "Sangzhou sent an envoy, saying that when the third prince of Endless Sea was a guest in Sangzhou, he was assassinated by the real Shuihong of the Yunxiao Sect and asked us to hand over the water. Rainbow, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise the coastal counties will become Ze Kingdom."

"Hehe," Yan Xiling sneered, and asked, "Does this mean Sangzhou, or endless sea?"

"Sangzhou said that Endless Sea entrusted them with the words."

"Then let Endless Sea send someone over to negotiate!" the ancestor said coldly.

"Yes." Hong Zhengli replied.

Yan Xiling frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "You will let Cheng Ye come to see me later. Now that Qin and Xu have a good relationship, there is no need for his Yangwei Palace to be left idle in Shaozhou. Let him go to Qingzhou to guard it." !"

"Yes."

"There is also Kuang Wenzhi, the old man has handed over the Zhenyao Temple to him, let him go to Yuezhou to guard it, and make some contributions, so that he can convince everyone!"

"Yes." Hong Zhengli replied, but then hesitantly said: "Old Ancestor, there is one more matter, but it is related to the Lu Kingdom. If it is not handled properly, the Zhenyao Temple may not be able to leave."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Patriarch Qixia sent an envoy not long ago, saying that it is..." Hong Zhengli glanced at Yang Zhen, and said, "She has a disciple named Qing Xiaoling under her, and she found out that he should be with Junior Brother Yang." Qixia misses this student very much, and asks me, Yunxiao Sect, to release her and allow this girl to return to her hometown to have a look."

"Tsk tsk," the patriarch smacked his mouth and said with a smile: "There is no one safe around us! Oh, it's not all like that. Now Qin and us have turned hostility into friendship, ha ha!"

"Junior brother Yang is in the middle of contacting, and the contribution is indispensable." Hong Zhengli praised with a smile.

Old Ancestor Yan nodded slightly, then withdrew his smile, and looked at Yang Zhen: "Zhen'er, how do you plan to answer this matter about Luguo?"

Yang Zhen frowned and remained silent.

Qing Xiaoling has a pure personality, and when he falls in love with someone, he is determined. He is not worried that the other person will never return after returning to Lu Country, and the two have nothing to do with each other ever since.

What he was worried about was the secret of the bluestone space.

Qixia is old and sophisticated, cunning and cunning, I'm afraid she can find out all the secrets from Qing Xiaoling's mouth with just a few words.

How can that work?

Therefore, even if Qing Xiaoling is going to Lu Country, he must be accompanied by him and cannot escape his sight.

But now, he doesn't have the time.

Huang Ji is the top priority.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen no longer hesitated, and replied: "Reporting to Patriarch, Senior Sister Xiaoling is currently in retreat, and she cannot escape for the time being."

"I will order Xiaoling to write a handwritten letter and hand it over to the envoy of Lu Kingdom to explain the matter."

"That's very good," Yan Xiling nodded, then turned to Hong Zhengli and said, "You can return to Lu Kingdom like this."

"Yes." Hong Zhengli looked at Yang Zhen in surprise, and said nothing more.

……

After these few important matters were finished, Hong Zhengli reported some affairs in the sect one by one, while Old Ancestor Yan closed his eyes slightly most of the time, said "um, oh" a few times, and seldom gave specific instructions.

Finally, when it came to the murder of Xu Huang, the ancestor suddenly raised his hand and sent a purple gold token to Yang Zhen.

"This is the token of being a teacher. With this token, you can question any real person in the sect face to face; you can enter any family territory in the Xu Kingdom to investigate. If anyone refuses to accept it, you can report it, and the old man will do it for you." You decide!"

"Yes!" Yang Zhen obeyed the order solemnly, but her heart trembled.

Is there any real person involved in Xu Huang's case?
