Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Although it proved that Xiao Yan was a person worthy of Feng Qing'er's sacrifice, that was all. In Feng Qing's heart, Xiao Yan was still not worthy of Feng Qing'er.

However, after Xiao Yan said these words just now, Phoenix's view of him completely changed.

"Ha~ Qing'er, I understand why you fall in love with this boy." Fenghuang smiled softly, his jade hand gently touching the side of his face, his eyes full of relief, "This boy is as good as your father when he married your mother. As for Jintou, I think your father will like him quite a lot."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Feng Qing'er was suddenly stunned, and Xiao Yan was also filled with questions.

Phoenix smiled softly and said calmly.

"Your mother is the daughter of the previous patriarch of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, but your father is just the lowest member of the family. He really climbed up step by step with his own efforts and defeated countless pursuers. It was only because of your grandfather’s appreciation that I married your mother.”

"That's it." Feng Qing'er nodded suddenly, and then looked a little depressed, "But you have never told me before. I asked your father and mother about the past and you still kept silent."

"Because your father won't let you." Fenghuang narrowed one eye and said teasingly: "He hopes that his image in his daughter's mind is that of being naturally noble, and he doesn't want his majestic image in her daughter's mind to collapse. Although I have always followed He said there was no need to hide it, but he seems reluctant to do so until now. "

"."

Feng Qing'er's expression was speechless, and Xiao Yan also twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

Huang Tian's brain circuit is also a bit strange. He climbed up from the bottom of the family, not only received the appreciation of the patriarch, but also married the patriarch's daughter. Shouldn't this be a very inspiring past? Why am I not willing to mention it yet?

Phoenix also saw the speechlessness in Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er's eyes, and explained with a chuckle.

"He has always been like this. Although he climbed up from the bottom, he has always believed that nobility should be born. His past is very inspiring in the eyes of others, but in his heart he is always just a lucky guy. He is just a poor boy. This can be regarded as the inferiority complex he hides in his heart." Phoenix paused and continued: "But you can't blame him for thinking this way. These families at the top of the continent have this concept, and he is just influenced by it. The concepts are just assimilated.”

Speaking of this, Fenghuang was slightly startled, glanced at Xiao Yan, and then said calmly.

"Or maybe, I am also one of those who have been assimilated."

Chapter 674 The Situation in the Northwest

Jia Ma Empire, Jia Ma Royal Family.

Haibodong, who had been staying in the Black Corner Domain for a long time and had not returned for a long time, was lying unceremoniously on his side on Jia Xingtian's sofa. He supported his cute little face with one hand and gnawed on an apple happily.

Jia Xingtian and Yaoyue were sitting on the sofa opposite, reading Yao Ye's letters that Hai Bodong had brought back to them.

Every once in a while, Haibodong would come back with Miter's caravan for a few days, and it would be a convenient thing to help Yaoye bring back the letters.

"Really. This girl, after staying there for several years, really doesn't plan to come back? Fortunately, Xiao Ling has been helping me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this job long ago."

Jia Xingtian looked at the contents of the letter in his hand. Although he was complaining, his eyes were clearly filled with relief.

To be honest, after breaking through Douzun and extending his lifespan, although Jiaxingtian has been muttering about wanting to retire, in fact, he is no longer so urgent about abdicating the throne. Now, although Yao Ye has been staying in the Black Corner Territory and will not come back, He did not dawdle around, but exercised and cultivated his leadership ability all the time.

Judging from the letters and the current situation in the Black Corner Territory, Yaoye's ability to govern is much stronger than before. This kind of practical ability cannot be learned by listening to Xiao Ling's teachings every day.

And in the past few years, with the cooperation of Yao Ye, Ya Fei and Yuan Yi, the Black Corner Region has become a well-known central commercial area in the northwest continent.

Since the Izumo Empire, Luoyan Empire and Mulan Empire were destroyed for unknown reasons, various small countries in the northwest continent have also taken this opportunity to develop as much as possible, and the Black Corner Region as a neutral zone has undoubtedly become their recognized trading circle. The development is very prosperous.

As for the rise of those small countries, Jiaxingtian had been worried before, and even had the idea of ​​sending troops to kill them, but he was dissuaded by Xiao Yu's advice, and the reason for the dissuasion made Jiaxingtian unable to refute.

The current Jiama Empire is too powerful in the northwest continent.

Previously, there were still three empires, Izumo, Luoyan and Mulan, that could compete. However, since these three empires disappeared overnight, the entire northwest continent was dominated by the Gama Empire.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the current military strength of the Gama Empire, it would be no problem to directly send troops to wipe out all the surrounding small countries.

But if you really do that, that is the most dangerous thing.

According to Xiao Ling's words, prosperity must inevitably lead to decline, and excess strength often leads to self-destruction.

For the current Jia Ma Empire, no matter how small the surrounding countries are, they are still outsiders. It is precisely because they are outsiders that the punishment genius will have the idea of ​​​​raising an army.

But what has to be admitted is that their existence has invisibly reduced a lot of internal troubles in the now prosperous Jia Ma Empire.

If the Jia Ma Empire really becomes the only country in the northwest, the final result will definitely be civil strife. The only difference is when it will happen.

Suppression by force can be suppressed for a while, but it can never be suppressed for a lifetime. Even high-pressure ruling methods will make the empire collapse more quickly. Once some people in a strong empire have the problem of "they can do a better job in leading the country" Thoughts, it will be over sooner or later.

But it will be different if there are still foreign enemies. As long as foreign enemies still exist, people with different intentions will consider this aspect, because you have to face not only internal enemies, but also external enemies that can come at any time.

In this way, not all dissent can be suppressed, but at least the vast majority can be suppressed.

What's more, with the current situation of the Jiama Empire, there is no need to compete with those small countries for resources. It is better to attack with a tolerant policy and establish the Jiama Empire as the middleman of many empires in the northwest. Through peaceful dialogue, all disputes must be resolved by Jiama first. The Mar Empire came to coordinate.

Doing so will undoubtedly put the voice of the entire northwest city in the hands of the Jiama Empire. As for the price paid, it is just some insignificant resources that need to be paid for Huairou.

Tough strength without a soft attitude will sooner or later be overthrown.

A soft attitude without strong strength will be devoured sooner or later.

Only by possessing both a gentle attitude and strong strength can the Gama Empire survive in the long term.

Now, the strong power of the Jiama Empire is already available. As for showing a soft attitude to other small countries in the northwest, it is also the current national policy set by Jiaxingtian with the help of Xiao Ling. Yaoyue has also been watching from the side. Assistance, progress is going very smoothly so far.

"It's true. That girl Xiao Ling, the longer she is exposed to her, the more terrifying she becomes."

Jia Xingtian put down the letter in his hand and sighed with emotion. He really felt that it was a huge pity that Xiao Ling was not born in the emperor's family.

"That's right. I feel that the teacher was born for politics. I have studied with the teacher for several years, but I still feel that I am still far behind."

Yaoyue also nodded in agreement. As the second princess of the royal family, Yaoyue had seen a lot of politicians since she was a child, but she was still frightened by Xiao Ling's methods.

The really scary thing about Xiao Ling's methods is that you know her intentions, but you can't find any reason to refuse.

Except when necessary, Xiao Ling has always openly played tricks with you, forcing you to accept it after weighing the pros and cons. The end result is that you can only watch yourself falling into her plan step by step, without even thinking about it. There is no thought of resistance.

Jia Xingtian could only sigh about this. Fortunately, Xiao Ling's hometown was in the Jia Ma Empire.

"Grandpa, I'm going back to my room."

Yaoyue said this, Jia Xingtian waved his hand lightly, and then Yaoyue gathered the letters on the table and stood up and walked out. As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly saw a figure standing outside the door, her eyes were a little stunned.

"Senior Yunshan, why are you here?"

"Well?"

Jia Xingtian turned around, and Hai Bodong averted his eyes slightly. He saw Yun Shan standing at the door, which made Jia Xingtian's expression slightly confused.

"This is really strange. Why did you come down here?"

In the past, I always went up to look for Yunshan. When did Yunshan come down to look for me?

"It's nothing. Xiao Yan brought someone back. I didn't feel comfortable staying up there, so I came down to sit." Yunshan said softly, and sat down next to Jiaxingtian, looking at the person lying on the sofa in front of him. Haibodong said, "You're back too."

"Well, I just came back today."

Haibodong took a bite of the apple and responded, while Yaoyue heard from Yunshankou that Xiao Yan was back. Her eyes lit up, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and put the letter on the desk, and quickly made a cup. The tea was handed to Yunshan.

"Senior Yunshan, please."

"Ah, thank you."

Yunshan reached out and took it and took a sip. After Yaoyue handed over the tea, she turned and left the room, closing the door gently.

After the door closed, Haibodong frowned and looked at Yunshan.

"Did you just say that Xiao Yan is back?"

"Ah, now he is a five-star Dou Zun."

".This kid is still as evil as ever."

Haibodong twitched his lips, but he had long been prepared for Xiao Yan's incredible level. He was not speechless in shock, but he still curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

I have just reached the level of two-star Dou Zun by relying on the elixirs from the Black Angle Domain and the new techniques. This kid has jumped up the level faster than me. I think Xiao Yan was just a little Dou Master when I became the Dou Emperor. That’s it, it’s only been less than ten years and he has already surpassed himself.

Genius, you really have to accept it.

At this time, Yunshan took a sip of tea and glanced at Jia Xingtian.

"Do you still remember Feng Qing'er who came back with Medusa last time?"

"Of course, she is the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

Jia Xingtian nodded lightly. Hai Bodong was stunned when he heard the words "Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan" and sat up to ask.

"Which Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan?"

"It's the little girl from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan that Xiao Yan met when we went to help when Xiao Yan was in trouble in the Black Corner Territory."

Yunshan helped Haibodong recall it. Haibodong's eyes suddenly became clear, and then he took out an apple and gnawed on it and asked.

"That girl, remember, what happened?"

"She and Xiao Yan are already married and have children."

puff! ! !

Haibodong couldn't help but spit out the apple he had just bitten. Fortunately, Yunshan, who was directly opposite him, reacted quickly and dodged sideways, just as Haibodong's roar came out.

"What did you just say?! That boy kidnapped the eldest lady of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan?!"

Hai Bodong wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief, while Jia Xingtian glanced at him with a sneer.

"Hai Bodong, your reaction is too big, isn't it? Aren't you the eldest lady of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan?" Jia Xingtian leaned on the sofa calmly and waved his hand, "Xiao Yan can reach the level of a five-star Dou Zun at such a young age. The strength is more than enough for the eldest lady of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, right?"

"."

Haibodong's eyes were shaking wildly, and he looked at Jiaxingtian with disbelief and contempt, but he did not refute, while Jiaxingtian picked up his tea cup and looked at Yunshan and asked.

"So, who did you just say came and made you so uncomfortable?"

"That's Feng Qing'er's aunt."

Yunshan's faint answer made Jiaxingtian laugh.

"Ha~ Yunshan, why are you like Haibo Dongcheng? Have you lived a comfortable life for too long? You still feel uncomfortable when outsiders come to your home court. You can't explain it, right?"

Jiaxingtian patted Yunshan's shoulder mockingly, but Yunshan didn't respond. Haibodong glanced at Jiaxingtian who had a mocking look on his face, and asked Yunshan solemnly.

"So, what is the strength of her aunt? Although I probably know it in my heart."

Before it was changed, Hai Bodong, who was in the northwestern continent, might have had the same reaction as Jia Xingtian. The Sky Demon Phoenix Clan was very famous, but in their perception, the Dou Zun peak was the highest.

However, after Haibodong stayed in the Black Corner Territory for so many years and frequently contacted various intelligence networks, he gained a deep understanding of the power of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan in Zhongzhou. Only then did he realize how ignorant he had been before.

Since Feng Qing'er is the eldest lady of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, as her aunt, her status must be even more terrifying.

Hearing Hai Bodong's question, Yunshan glanced at Jiaxingtian, who had just taken a sip of tea, then raised his hand and turned his face away from Jiaxingtian's puzzled eyes, and then leisurely answered Haibodong's question. question.

"According to Xiao Yan himself, he is in the late stage of the Two-Star Dou Sage."

puff! ! ! ! !

The tea that Jia Xingtian had not yet swallowed suddenly sprayed out. He finally understood why Yunshan wanted to turn his face away.

Immediately, Jia Xingtian turned his head back and looked at Yunshan in horror.

"What did you just say? Late stage of the Second Star Dou Saint? Are you bluffing me?!"

Dou Sheng, that strong man who only exists in legends here, is now in Yunlan Sect?

When Hai Bodong saw Jia Xingtian's frightened expression, he felt extremely relieved and immediately returned the ridicule he had just made to him.

"Ha~ weren't you very relaxed and content just now? Why are you so frightened now?" Hai Bodong then sat on the sofa with his short legs crossed and said with a serious face: "I used to be the same as you, I thought that the heavenly demon The Phoenix Clan is just a well-known Warcraft family. However, after I stayed in the Black Horn Territory for a few years, I learned that the Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan is one of the three major Warcraft families in Zhongzhou, and one of the very few ethnic groups at the top of this continent. "

"To put it bluntly, the Jia Ma Empire that you are proud to have run for so many years is probably no different from a grain of sand in the eyes of others."

Haibodong made such a cruel and realistic statement, which made Jia Xingtian fall into deep silence.

After a long time, he seemed to come to his senses and looked at Yunshan in shock.

"Wait a minute. So Xiao Yan abducted the eldest lady of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan here?"

"exactly."

Yunshan responded calmly while holding the tea cup, causing Jia Xingtian to slap his forehead suddenly.

This kid, from the time he first met him, has been refreshing his outlook on life.

"What about Feng Qing'er's aunt's question about Xiao Yan?" She was halfway through asking, when Jia Xingtian thought of the answer himself and waved his hand, "Just pretend I didn't ask. If it's not resolved properly, you won't be able to get off."

Although this incident was indeed shocking, fortunately, being the leader of the country for so many years was not in vain, and Jia Xingtian soon adjusted his mentality.

However, before they could stabilize, Yunshan said something that almost broke the hearts of Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong.

"By the way, Medusa's daughter was also born, with Douzong-level strength."

puff! ! ! ! !

Once again, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong spat out the tea and apples from their mouths respectively, their eyebrows trembling wildly, and their hearts almost unbearable.
