Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have thought that such an elite force was something that could not possibly exist in this world.

I had heard earlier that Daqian's army was praised by the world as heavenly soldiers and generals. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that it is true.

With such a large and elite army, even ten thousand men would be enough to suppress the world, let alone two hundred thousand! ?

If the Li family still wants to fight for "Destiny", it would be no different from seeking death!

Li Shimin took a deep breath, calculated the time, and became more and more moved.

You must know... His original plan was to head for the border, but now, hundreds of miles from the border, he saw the elite of Daqian. What did this mean? It meant that not only were the border states and counties captured and occupied by Daqian, but it was estimated that in the past ten days, a large number of states and counties had been captured.

If the situation continues at this rate, the complete destruction of the Sui Dynasty by the Qian Dynasty is inevitable, and that day is not far away.

"Father must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Li Shimin's expression was serious.

From the moment he saw the elite troops of Daqian, he realized that there was little point in continuing to explore deeper.

The world situation is already very clear!

Daqian is invincible!

The most important thing to do right now is to contact them immediately and express your willingness to surrender!

If we wait until Daqian annexes Taiyuan before making a decision, it will be too late!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's expression straightened up. He quickly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and rushed back, but after riding for a while, his face became gloomy again.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly made a decision. He asked the personal guards around him to go back first and convey his intention, while he himself rode forward alone in the direction of the Daqian elite.

Time flies, and another ten days have passed.

In just one month, more than one-third of the territory of the Sui Dynasty was seized by Daqian!

The world is in an uproar!

If all parties still had some hope before, now they have completely given up the illusion!

Any normal person can see that it is a foregone conclusion that Daqian will swallow up Da Sui!

The most important thing right now is how to protect oneself as much as possible and how to survive under the rule of Daqian in the future.

No noble families or powerful landowners dared to harbor hostile thoughts towards Daqian, which essentially meant that Daqian had virtually no enemies. And the imperial court's local troops? Upon seeing the arrival of Daqian's elite troops, they defected before the battle even began, with countless surrenders. As for the imperial central army, it didn't even have time to assemble. Faced with such a precarious situation, the entire Sui court remained completely inactive, adopting a completely passive approach.

On the one hand, it was because they knew that it was impossible to do anything, the situation was hopeless, and in the face of the elite of Daqian, no matter how many troops they gathered, it would be futile! Rather than resisting stubbornly and ending up dead and annihilated, it would be better to give up directly from the beginning;

On the other hand, most of the court officials came from aristocratic families and had long been alienated from Emperor Yang Guang and were extremely dissatisfied with him. They all had their own ulterior motives, and now that they saw the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse, it was naturally impossible for them to die for the country.

Yangzhou City.

The entire city is under martial law.

In the attic, Bai Qing'er stood by the window, observing the elite patrolling below with a complex expression:

"No wonder Master arranged it this way..."

When she took over the position of the head of Yinkui Sect, she couldn't understand why she had to give up the reputation of the Holy Sect that she had worked so hard to build, and why she had to separate from most of the elders in the sect, only retaining those with clean backgrounds?

Now I understand it completely.

In other words, Bai 440 Qing'er had already vaguely understood it as early as when she heard the news of Daqian's expedition.

Once the expedition is launched to annex the Sui Dynasty, it will be difficult for Daqian to accommodate the power of the Holy Sect. Most of them will have to be liquidated. If they are not divided up in advance and the dross is eliminated while the essence is retained, I am afraid that the Yinkui Sect will be destroyed.

Bai Qing'er bit her lip and looked at the awe-inspiring patrolling elite below, feeling secretly unwilling but also dejected.

The reason for her reluctance was that she had seen the rapid expansion of Daqian's power, which also meant that her senior sister's power was also constantly rising, to a point that she could not catch up with. If they were not from the same sect, she would not even have the chance to meet her.

Such a contrast in status made her feel dissatisfied.

This is also the reason for dejection.

In the past, she might have wanted to fight with him, but now, she no longer has any thoughts.

The gap is too big...

Chapter 633: The choice between two places!

After closing the window slightly, Bai Qing'er turned around and sat down, making tea and pondering.

She had actually dealt with the Yinkui Sect's affairs eight or nine months after she came back, but she was still somewhat hesitant between Daqian and Dasui.

When the master passed on the position of headmaster to her that day, his purpose was just to ensure the continuation of the inheritance.

After taking over the Yinkui Sect, he did not give any instructions on whether to leave or stay, leaving her to decide for herself.

At first, she was more inclined to stay in the Sui Dynasty.

First of all, Daqian is her senior sister's territory after all. If she goes there, her every move will be under her eyes. Who can stand that?

Secondly, even if we ignore what her senior sister does, just say that under the rule of Daqian, the law is very strict. If she takes the Yinkui Sect with her, she will inevitably be restricted in everything she does. She can't do this or that, and there are too many restrictions.

Thirdly, Master's family was also in Daqian. If she took the Yinkui Sect with her, who would the sect listen to? Although Master had clearly stated that she would no longer be involved in the sect's affairs, Bai Qing'er didn't think that was true, and it was hard to say for sure.

Furthermore, even if the master is sincere, as a disciple, if she really encounters something serious, doesn’t she have to ask for instructions?

If I don’t ask for instructions, will my master feel resentful?

These are all possibilities...

In short, after she took charge of the Yinkui Sect, she did not want to have a "retired emperor" above her.

There will be no such restrictions if you stay in the Sui Dynasty.

Let her do what she wants, and she can achieve great things!

only......

Over the past six months, the situation has changed so drastically that she has been forced to change her thoughts and attitudes, from leaning towards the Sui Dynasty to leaning towards the Qian Dynasty.

This is not just because the Sui Dynasty is about to be annexed by the Qian Dynasty.

This is only one aspect.

Even if this incident had not happened, she would have to consider whether she should take the Yinkui Sect away from this troubled place.

The main reason was the overwhelming power of Cihang Jingzhai, and the immense strength of Master Feixuan! It was truly astonishing! In just six months, she had unified the righteous forces of the martial arts world, while simultaneously sweeping through the entire Holy Sect, suppressing them to the utmost. If she hadn't taken the Yinkui Sect and dormant there early on, she would have been among those swept away and suppressed.

At that time, Bai Qing'er even thought that the existence of Shi Feixuan was the main reason why her master abdicated.

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

It seems that Cihang Jingzhai has had a relationship with Daqian for a long time. If she continues to stay here, she will face pressure from the Daqian government on the one hand, and pressure from Cihang Jingzhai on the other hand. Her Yinkui Sect will have no room to display its power, not to mention now, even in its heyday.

Instead of this, it would be better to go to Daqian’s homeland. Although there are masters and senior sisters there to put pressure on them, at least from another perspective, the Yinkui Sect will also be protected by them.

As long as she, the leader, and the other people in the sect do not do anything that violates the laws of Daqian.

As for taking the Yinkui Sect out of Daqian's sphere of influence and heading somewhere else...

Bai Qing'er instinctively felt that this matter was inappropriate and meaningless.

Let’s not talk about where she is going to settle down, the current scope of Daqian’s influence is so vast that it is already terrifying!

Spanning two places, the territory is extremely vast!

Where else can her Yinkui Sect go except to the west?

Even if we go west, it's hard to say we can escape the influence of Daqian. The most important thing is...

It is not yet known where this expedition will end.

What's more, there is still a future?

Thinking of this, Bai Qing'er couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

The choice is clear.

I took a sip of tea carefully, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Not only because this choice means that I will have to bow to my senior sister in the future, but also because this trip to Yangzhou ended in failure.

The news of the emergence of [The Secret of Immortality] spread like wildfire in the martial arts world. After hearing the information, she came to investigate in person, hoping to see if there was a chance to obtain this ancient and wonderful book.

It should be noted that her Yinkui sect's unique martial art [Heavenly Demon Method] is nothing more than a part of [Heavenly Demon Strategy].

However, [The Secret of Immortality] is one of the four great books that can be ranked alongside [The Plan of the Heavenly Demon]. In fact, it is generally recognized in the martial arts world that it is ranked above [The Plan of the Heavenly Demon].

Bai Qing'er naturally had some thoughts about this.

In the final analysis, even if she was taught the [Great Heavenly Demonic Law] and cultivated it to perfection in the future, she would still be hard to compare with her senior sister.

But if we add this [Secret of Immortality] to the mix, maybe... there will be a glimmer of possibility?

It's just a pity...

Although the idea was good, months of searching turned up no clues.

"Now that Yangzhou City has been occupied by Daqian, it seems that the [Eternal Life Secret] is completely hopeless..."

At this time, even if the [Secret of Immortality] really appeared, it would only belong to Daqian.

Who can snatch it?

Bai Qing'er felt quite regretful when she thought of this, but it wasn't that she was disappointed.

After all, I came here just to try my luck, so it's normal that I can't find it.

knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Bai Qing'er said softly: "Come in!"

With a creak, a tall, mature and beautiful woman walked in.

"Elder Mei, have you applied for the walking permit?" Bai Qing'er asked the woman when she saw her.

Danmei smiled slightly, charmingly: "It's all done."

Bai Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Elder Mei doesn't know that under the rule of Daqian, if you don't have an ID or a travel permit, you won't be able to move a single step. If we want to go to Daqian, we'd better get one."

Otherwise, you will be watched closely wherever you go, and it will be difficult to feel comfortable.

Danmei seemed to understand something and nodded, "I see. The Sect Master knows all about this."

"I was previously sent by my master to work for Daqian. I have experience, so I naturally know more."

As she spoke, Bai Qing'er's expression straightened slightly, and she continued, "Now that the certificate has been obtained, we can set off without further delay."

Danmei had no objection to this and agreed directly.

I also have other concerns in my mind.

She actually didn't have much loyalty to the new leader. She only helped him and served as his right-hand man because of Zhu Yuyan's instructions. But in the final analysis, she still hoped to get in touch with Zhu Yuyan, so naturally she preferred to go to Daqian.

Chapter 634: The Source of Officials! Twin Dragons! Mysterious Woman!

At the same time, on the other side.

Under the guidance of the elite patrol officers, the people in the city are queuing up to cooperate with the Daqian officials to complete the registration task.

Some of the Daqian officials here came on the Dongming ships, another part was selected from the local forces that surrendered, and the last part came from military conscription.

In the former case, all the ships of Dongming combined can carry about 20,000 people, but here, the Dongming merchant caravan must be included, and the supplies for sea voyages must be complete and reasonably supplied. So in reality, the number of officials coming from Daqian on this sea voyage is only about 4,000.

However, this group of people were basically arranged in border states and counties, so they accounted for a relatively small proportion in Yangzhou City.

Secondly, in the area of ​​the Sui Dynasty, the two forces that truly belong to the Daqian camp are the unified martial arts forces headed by Cihang Jingzhai, and the other is the Lingnan Song clan.

There is naturally no reason to leave these 777 forces that belong to our own camp unused.
