Dao device vertical and horizontal

Chapter 173
"Qianzhou is the most powerful. This is true. Not only does it have four major forces, but the Zhongding Empire has a large number of soldiers and horses. But precisely because of the four forces, our Ren family must not go to Qianzhou to develop, otherwise we must choose How do you choose to join a force?"

Four forces?After thinking about it for a while, Ren Daoyuan understood that the old man was referring to the Three Sacred Dao Sect, Tiandao Palace, Yundao Jingshe and Sanxiu Alliance.The latter two can be ignored, but the first two are really a headache.

The conflict between Sansheng Daozong and Tiandao Palace has a long history. They have been fighting endlessly for 200 years. There is not much difference in strength. It is really difficult to choose.Standing in line is no less troublesome than facing a war if you can't see clearly.

Who is stronger?Ren Daoyuan doesn't know either, but from the bottom of his heart, he prefers Tiandao Palace. After all, he accepts Master Hamingfei's dream and can be regarded as his successor, so he will naturally get closer to Tiandao Palace.

There was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly understood what his father meant. He looked at the crowd with a look of astonishment on his face: "Is the Sansheng Dao Sect and the Tiandao Palace going to war?"

Ren Fuqing shook his head in satisfaction and said: "Of course there is no formal war. It is unlikely that the two Taoist sects will officially start a war, but the secret war has never stopped. Recently, according to the news from Qianzhou, the relationship between the two sects There is a tendency to escalate the secret war among the people, and if they want to enter Qianzhou to develop, it will be harmful to the Ren family."

"Then what are the benefits of Bingzhou?" Ren Daoyuan didn't understand that Heishui Bingzhou was in the middle of Kyushu, and its strength was not too strong. It seemed that it was not suitable to develop there, at least Ren Daoyuan was not optimistic about Bingzhou.

Heishui Bingzhou is the southernmost part of Kyushu, close to the sea.The strength of the navy is relatively strong in Kyushu. The army is average, with thirteen legions, the number is average, and the equipment is far stronger than that of Qingzhou. Among them, there are four corps, which are very famous.

However, war is a matter of comprehensive strength, and it does not mean that there are a few powerful legions that can be won.If Kyushu is in chaos, Ren Daoyuan will never be optimistic about Bingzhou.

"It's not Bingzhou, it's the south of Bingzhou." Ren Xiaoyao interjected, he finally knew more than his elder brother.Although these were also told by his uncle and father, it made him a little proud, at least he knew it before his elder brother.

"South of Bingzhou... the endless sea, the sea?" Ren Daoyuan was really confused.

"Islands in the South China Sea." Ren Feng reminded softly behind him. In terms of knowledge, no one in this room has more knowledge than Ren Feng.

"That's right, it's the South China Sea Islands, that's where our Ren family can retreat." Ren Fuqing glanced at Ren Feng, secretly surprised, this star master is not only powerful, but also has a much higher vision.

It's not because Ren Fuqing has a good vision that he can come to this conclusion.Back then, the Ren family held countless family meetings, and the goal they set was Qianzhou.Or because of an accident, it was the best choice to think of the South China Sea Islands from other families.

It is said to be an accident, but in fact it may have been leaked intentionally. This kind of thing is done in an extremely secretive manner, and it is almost impossible to say that it is a leak.

Ren Daoyuan's knowledge of the islands in the South China Sea is extremely limited. He only knows that there are many islands in the endless sea south of Heishui Bingzhou. Just a few huge rocks.

Many islands are inhabited by humans, and these humans are all separated from the mainland of Kyushu.

Some islands in the South China Sea have excellent conditions, while others have very poor conditions.But no matter how good an island is, it is an island after all, and its living conditions are better than those on the mainland.

For thousands of years, the mainland of Kyushu has been plagued by constant wars and internal conflicts.There are not a few people who were convicted for various reasons, or who fled because of the war.These people could not continue to survive in the mainland of Kyushu, and in the end they could only take a boat to the south, enter the endless sea, and look for islands to continue to survive.

As time passed, more and more people lived on the islands of the South China Sea. There were descendants of those who came first, and there were also increasing numbers of latecomers.

Ren Daoyuan can't know what the islands in the South China Sea are like now. He only knows that there are many islands in the South China Sea, and there are many people on the islands.These people, even in the eyes of Qingzhou people, can be regarded as aliens.

"How is the situation in the South China Sea Islands?" Ren Daoyuan asked, since his father mentioned it, he should have already inquired clearly.

"The islands in the South China Sea are very powerful, much stronger than we imagined. There is only one bad thing, that is, there are many forces and they are extremely chaotic." Ren Fuqing said.

"Then... let's go here, but which side will we take refuge in?" Ren Daoyuan asked, still puzzled in his heart. If he needs to take refuge in one side, he might as well go to Qianzhou and choose Tiandao Palace.

"Of course not, we just need to spend money to buy an island. There are many islands in the South China Sea, which is different from the situation in Qianzhou. The population of our Ren family is not large, even if you add the Liu family, Huo family, and the Dong family you brought back this time." Home, the number of people is also limited, as long as we find an island that is not too small, it is enough for us to survive for a while.”

After Ren Fuqing finished speaking, he looked up at the blue sky outside, and said softly: "The war will always pass, the mainland is our foundation, and we will come back."

After finishing speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly. The matter had not yet been settled, and he was actually a little sad: "It's okay, that's just the last step. Before that, let's think about how to keep Qingzhou and Fengyu Empire. Things may not be It’s going to be that bad, it’s just a preparation.”

The family meeting only lasted for more than an hour. In fact, it was a meeting, rather it was to inform Ren Daoyuan of the Ren family's preparations for future wars.

There are a lot of people in Heishui Bingzhou now, and there are not a few families from Qingzhou. After all, if you want to enter the South China Sea, big ships are indispensable. Only a few states can manufacture this kind of thing, and Heishui Bingzhou is one of them.

In addition to preparing the ship, it is also necessary to prepare a foothold in Bingzhou.The family relocation is not like Ren Daoyuan and his party going out, the old and the young, and there are many servants to follow, let alone the speed, before going to sea, you need to make sufficient preparations and have enough rest time.

After lunch, Ren Daoyuan came to Huo's house, chatted with Huo Qingshan for a long time, had dinner, met Huo Yujia, and didn't return home until it was time to hold the lanterns.

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Yujia came to visit, and another day passed while he was busy.After all, Huo Yujia is the future daughter-in-law, and the Ren family must go back to Yanqing Mansion.

Originally, I thought that I could take a rest on the third day, but I was called to the inner hall by my father early in the morning.

"Father?" Ren Daoyuan shouted with doubts in his eyes after saluting. After Huo Yujia left yesterday, Ren Fuqing said to let him rest for a few days. There is still enough time for the emperor's recruitment, so don't rush.

"Sit down, I have nothing to do, I should let you rest, but Dong Qinglin's visit this morning has something to do with you."

Ren Daoyuan sat silent, thinking to himself, what will happen to Dong Qinglin?On the day he returned to Yanqing Mansion, he had already made arrangements to prepare a not-too-small courtyard for the Dong family in Yanqing Mansion. He also arranged for servants and maidservants to send a batch of gold coins. It should be fine for the time being.

"It's like this. We already know about the Dong family. Speaking of it, it is a hundred times more difficult for the Dong family to revive than the Huo family. Dong Qinglin is incompetent and too timid, so he made a request, hoping Marry Dong Qing'er into my Ren family, and I'll make you a child." Ren Fuqing said with a smile on his lips.

Originally, in his opinion, there was no need to win over the Dong family, and it wasn't worth it.They were not from Qingzhou in the first place, no matter how powerful the Dong family was originally, it has nothing to do with the Ren family, let alone the current Dong family, apart from these two, there is no one else.

But Dong Qing'er's situation is a little different. Although he is only a second-rank Taoist, he is still a Taoist after all.Marrying a Taoist master and being a concubine is quite attractive to the Ren family.Even in Ren Fuqing's view, being a concubine is too wronged Dong Qing'er.

If possible, he hoped that Dong Qing'er could marry his second son, Xiaoyao. The two were about the same age, and the second son's talent was not bad, except that he was a little less hearted, not much worse than the eldest son.As a father, you always want a bowl of water to be level.

"Father must have agreed." Ren Daoyuan asked worriedly. Dong Qing'er was a good girl, but Ren Daoyuan didn't feel that way towards her.

If it is said that the children of the aristocratic family must marry for the sake of the family, I have already married once, and I don't want to do it again.

"Of course I didn't agree. My opinion is that it would be better if I can marry your second brother. It's just that Dong Qinglin is more inclined to you and has no feeling for Xiaoyao." Ren Fuqing said with a smile.

Family marriage, how do you feel about it?Not even talking about feelings.Dong Qinglin is obviously more optimistic about Ren Daoyuan, thinking that he is the eldest son and has strong ability. He will definitely be the next head of the Ren family in the future. He would rather let Dong Qing'er be a concubine than let her be Ren Xiaoyao's wife.

"Father, you can discuss this matter with the Dong family. It is best to respect Dong Qing'er's own opinion. She helped me many times when I was in Pingshan Daozong." Ren Daoyuan said helplessly.For the children of the family, marriage is a big trouble.

"Alright, I'll talk to Dong Qinglin again." Ren Fuqing nodded and said.

During the days at home, my body and mind were comfortable, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.When he was free, he would spend time with his mother and occasionally chat with Ren Xiaoyao. The relationship between the two brothers had obviously improved.Perhaps thanks to Ren Xiaoyao's own changes, he no longer stared at the elder brother Ren Daoyuan as closely as in the past.

During the period, the fourth Dao body was performed for Gong Zifeng. This guy's cultivation was progressing too fast, and Ren Daoyuan felt that something was wrong, but there was no way for the time being, so he could only talk about it later.

In addition to Gong Zifeng, Huo Zhengman is the other Daoist. As for Huo Yujia, she is not in a hurry. She has not yet digested the Daoist last time, and her cultivation is still increasing steadily.

A month later, Ren Daoyuan entered the imperial city, handed in the name tag and recruitment letter, and the Huangmen official sent the things into the imperial city.Most of the royal families in Kyushu are related to Daozong, and the worldly atmosphere is not strong.
