It's late at night, on Xuanyuan Hill, on the Star-Zhaing Tower of the Great Emperor's Palace...
Xuanyuan Changying was wearing a long robe, standing on the top of the Star Reaching Tower, which was more than 200 meters high, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the stars, and remained motionless for two hours.
He waited until the footsteps of his trusted guard sounded behind him and said softly, "Your Highness, Mr. Fang is here..." Xuanyuan Changying took a long breath, turned around suddenly, and said nothing. He strode towards the study behind him...
In the study, the scribe in blue shirt was already waiting. Xuanyuan Changying opened the door curtain, making the curtain jade shake like rain hitting banana trees, and then he strode over with the wind in his clothes, "Sir..."
"His Highness will be the King of Taixia in the future. He will lead the human race, control the world, and be a King. He will let Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his expression. Because of the iron dragon sect's black affairs, His Highness has been messed up. This is the great work of the King. "Taboo, the more serious the matter, the more you need to be calm and collected..." The scholar in blue shirt looked at Xuanyuan Changying with a rare serious look, and there was a hint of severity in his eyes that he had never seen before.
"Chang Ying knew he was wrong, but this matter was extremely urgent, so we had no choice but to call him back from Cangzhou overnight to discuss countermeasures..." Xuanyuan Chang Ying said to Chang Yi.
"I came all the way here by flying boat, and after four or five hours in a row, I was already a little hungry and thirsty. I heard that His Highness's tea ceremony was one of the best in the palace, and it was praised by the Emperor back then. How about your Highness performing a tea ceremony for Qing Ming today? "Mr. Fang said, he had already taken off his boots, sat down quietly on the coffee table in the study room, and looked at Xuanyuan Changying quietly, "With such a beautiful scenery, it is an elegant thing to listen to the wind and drink tea on the Zhaixing Tower. …”
Xuanyuan Changying understood Mr. Fang's intention at once, took a deep breath, took off his shoes, sat quietly across the coffee table again, clapped his hands, and asked the ladies to bring the tea sets.
Taixia Tea Ceremony has a long history, is extensive and profound, from the time Xuanyuan Changying started showing the tea ceremony to the two people starting to taste the first cup of tea, almost an hour passed before they knew it.
Xuanyuan Changying, who was still a little anxious just now, was surrounded by the scent of tea. The anger in his heart slowly dissipated with the entrance of the tribute tea. The face that was still livid just now disappeared with a cup of tea soup. When it enters the stomach, it has a touch of warmth again.
During this period, Mr. Fang didn't say a word. He just watched Xuanyuan Changying's movements during the tea ceremony with watery eyes. He watched Xuanyuan Changying's movements slowly change from urgent to slow, from slow to comfortable, and from relaxed to stretched. Then it floated on the coffee table like clouds and flowing water, and flowers bloomed and faded, and only then did a smile slowly appear on his face.
In the so-called tea ceremony, people control tea, but tea no longer controls people. Just like in the struggle for world supremacy, oneself is used by the prince, but in his own view, everything in the world is just a chess piece in the plate. Emperor Xuanyuan is a chess piece, and the prince is a chess piece. They are also chess pieces, but to use the prince as a chess piece, you need to enter the game yourself. There is no boundary between the so-called chess piece and the chess player. It is just a matter of level. If you can fight in this chess game once in your life, you will be named. Staying in youth is not a waste of what you have learned and your ambitions.
After drinking two cups of tea, Mr. Fang put down his tea cup and slowly said, "This is a dead end!"
When Prince Changying, who had just stabilized, heard this, he shook his hand, and a little tea splashed from the tea cup onto the coffee table. His Highness the Crown Prince looked at the little tea spilled on the coffee table, and sighed secretly in his heart. With a tone of voice, he gently put down the tea cup, and then asked, "Why did you say this, sir?"
"This sect's black post is by no means a temporary act of the major sects, nor is it because the incident in the Wilderness Cave is unbearable for the major sects. There is only one reason behind this. The major sects are already afraid of Zhang Tie. Reaching the extreme, I no longer want to give Zhang Tie time to grow up. As early as when Zhang Tie killed the demon Cang Qiong on the banks of the Weishui River, I guess the three sect black papers against Zhang Tie were already prepared! "Mr. Fang's eyes flashed with wisdom and he said calmly.
Prince Changying was shocked and seemed to have some realization, "Then why now?"
"There are two reasons. The first reason is that after the Battle of the Weishui River, Zhang Tie made great contributions to Taixia and the human race. His prestige was at its peak, and he was seriously injured. At that time, even if several major sects wanted to take action against Zhang Tie, they would not be able to do so for a while. If you can't find any excuses or reasons, you will fall into the situation that everyone points out, so you have been enduring it, but this reason alone is not enough, or it is just an excuse, and a more important reason is because Your Highness!"
"Ah, because of me?" Prince Changying was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this matter was actually related to him.
"Yes, because of you, if Zhang Tie hadn't suddenly expressed his willingness to stand on your side, His Highness, at Xuanyuan Hill after waking up, it would have greatly boosted His Highness's prestige and won the hearts of the world. He would have been far away from that position. Going one step further, I think that the senior officials of several major sects will still try to contact Zhang Tie and win Zhang Tie to their side, instead of just seizing the slightest opportunity in the wilderness like now, and thinking To put Zhang Tie in a desperate situation is to cut off one of His Highness's right and left arms at once. The speed and cruelty of his attack are almost equivalent to tearing off his own face, and he no longer even needs to pretend... "
No matter how stupid Prince Changying was, he understood it at this time. However, the news was so shocking to Prince Changying that he forgot what to say for a moment. It took a long time for Prince Changying to react suddenly. He came over and said, "Did Mr. mean..."
"Yes, several major sects in Taixia have been involved in the battle for the throne of Taixia, and they have sent sect blackmails to Zhang Tie's Taiyi Xuanmen, Zhitian Pavilion, and Qionglou, and the people they support, It is definitely not you, Your Highness, but the person they want to support among the third or ninth princes has been chosen... "
"Presumptuous..." Xuanyuan Changying was furious, and he slapped down the coffee table where he was demonstrating the tea ceremony just now, as well as the tea sets on the coffee table. Under Xuanyuan Changying's palm, they started to glow strangely, and then... Disappeared in Mr. Fang's eyes, yes, disappeared, not shattered, but disappeared. The fighting spirit and power contained in Xuanyuan Changying's angry palm dissolved and shattered, and disappeared directly in front of the two people.
Is this the power of "Xuanyuan Shen Bian Sutra"? This palm hit the table like this. If it had hit an ordinary person or an ordinary knight, that person would probably be annihilated by this palm without leaving anything behind at this moment. It was the first time I saw him. Mr. Fang, who was so angry at Prince Changying, secretly felt a sense of wonder in his heart, but... those teas, what a pity...
Mr. Fang looked at the empty couch in front of him and shook his head helplessly...
"How dare they do this? How dare they do this?" Prince Changying was so angry that he stood up immediately. He was filled with murderous intent, like an angry lion, walking around the room manically, roaring, "Six The major sects are not allowed to interfere in politics. This is an iron rule established by my father and the six major sects when he was still alive. Unexpectedly, as soon as my father disappeared, several major sects became so rebellious. The matter of abolishing the establishment is a wolfish ambition, it is simply a wolfish ambition. I will summon the four armies and call on the God of War to wipe out all those rebellious ministers and traitors, and chop off the heads of those rebellious ministers and traitors..."
"Does Your Highness really want to recall Lord Military God?" Mr. Fang sighed, "If Lord Military God comes back at this time, the first one to chop off will not be the heads of the knights of the three major sects, but only my head. This crime , naturally bewitched the prince to do such a stupid thing, causing Taixia to collapse without a fight. In the end, the God of War must ask His Highness to send people to send my head to several major sects, in order to seek their forgiveness. His Highness must at least issue a self-incriminating edict to tell the world to admit his mistake, and this is only half done. After this incident, His Highness's reputation has plummeted. In this world, the rumors about His Highness's unsuitability for the country will probably disappear in a short time. If the situation escalates, and with the help of some people, the person supported by several major sects may return to Xuanyuan Hill openly and honestly... "
Xuanyuan Changying, who was as angry as fire, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down from his head. His whole body was stunned, and the aura and anger in his body gradually disappeared.
"Sir, didn't you mean..."
"But we have no evidence. Your Highness, do you think that if the three major sects support a certain prince, they will allow us to get the kind of evidence that can accuse them? Taking a step back, even if there is evidence, Your Highness thinks that at this time, what is so-called How much weight does the evidence have!" Mr. Fang looked at Prince Changying calmly, "There is a proverb in the Western Continent that anger without strength is meaningless. Without Emperor Xuanyuan, who in the entire Taixia can suppress the three major sects? The holy steps of the door?”
"We can unite Tianji Sect, Demon Killing Valley, Elder Liu who is in charge of the palace, Lord Military God..." Xuanyuan Changying said unwillingly.
"Haha..." Mr. Fang laughed, and then sighed, "His Highness just forgot how you accused Taiyi Xuanmen and Zhitian Pavilion. Your Highness asked Tianji Sect and Mosha Valley to help you, right? As for Tianji Sect and Demon Killing Valley, that does not mean that their handle is in your hands, Your Highness. Your Highness, do you think Tianji Sect and Demon Killing Valley will go through fire and water for you, Your Highness? Even if they are willing, at that time, someone will If you want to accuse His Highness of getting several major sects involved in the dispute over the Taixia royal family's treasure, let's get rid of it first. Several major sects openly and openly accused Your Highness of breaking the rules. How can you defend yourself..."
Xuanyuan Changying stood blankly for a while, and finally sat down again with some dejection, "What do you mean, sir? This time, I can only do nothing. I can only watch several major sects cut off my arms and destroy my Qiancheng. Zhang Tie He helped me in Xuanyuan Hill that day. If I can't protect him this time, then who else will take a fancy to me in the future, and who will think that I, Xuanyuan Changying, can be relied on... "
"So, this is the viciousness of those sect black posts. Not only do they want to completely defeat Zhang Tie and take over the Iron Dragon Sect, they also want to trample your highness's reputation under their feet!" Mr. Fang said seriously! Looking at Prince Changying, he pondered for a moment, "I am a scholar, not a knight. I don't know much about the combat power of the three major sects' holy orders, but I know that His Highness must know what those three major holy orders are like. From His Highness's point of view, Zhang When Tie uses the ability of the Divine Master, even if he cannot win against the Holy Order, can he make it impossible for the Holy Order to reach him and catch up with him, so that he can be consumed without limit by the Holy Order? If so, what else can we do? Is there a way to help Zhang Tie make a comeback..."
Prince Changying shook his head and sighed, "It's impossible. Sir, you may not understand. When my father was still in Xuanyuan Hill, he told me that Taiyi Patriarch of the Taiyi Xuanmen advanced to the Holy Level. It has been more than three hundred years. The power of the Holy Samadhi that he realized when he was in the Holy Level is the Great Sun True Fire. The power of this Holy Level Samadhi is boundless. Within hundreds of miles, as long as he takes a look at it, the power of the Sun's True Fire It can be born from the void and envelope the opponent. Even the Sky Knight cannot last long under the power of the Sun's True Fire. No matter how fast the Zhang Tie Divine Control Master is, it cannot be faster than the spread speed of the Holy Level Samadhi. And this time, the location selected by the three major sects to send out the sect's black notice is exactly the ten thousand miles of Gobi. In such an environment, the power of Taiyi Patriarch's Great Sun True Fire will be even three points stronger. If If we have to fight, Zhang Tie will have no chance..."
"Even if Zhang Tie can use the Tower of Time to advance to the holy level within these hundred days?"
"No, unless Zhang Tie can advance to the Holy Level within a hundred days, it will be absolutely difficult for him to resist the power of the Holy Level's Samadhi!"
It is simply impossible for a person to advance from phantom to holy level within a hundred days. Even if Zhang Tie is allowed to stay in the Tower of Time for another hundred years, it is impossible for a phantom knight to advance to the holy level in such a short time. The Holy Wheel that is the most critical to advance to the Holy Level is the biggest obstacle that all practitioners face when advancing to the Holy Level. This obstacle cannot be broken through in time. Some people After hundreds of years of advancing to semi-saint level, it is possible that one still cannot find the path to advance to the holy level.
"This is only the power of Patriarch Taiyi. Do the other two sects' holy orders master the holy order Samadhi?"
"During the last holy war, there was no such thing, but this time..." Xuanyuan Changying shook his head, "My father has always paid special attention to several major sects' holy orders, but in recent years, even Xuanyuan Hill has been unable to do so. Get any information about the other two sects’ holy ranks!”
"So, this time, as long as Zhang Tie goes into battle, he will definitely not be spared?"
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Changying looked annoyed, "I was also careless. If I had known this earlier, when Zhang Tie was in Xuanyuan Hill, even if he was unwilling, I would have found a way to get him to accept the position of commander of the air cavalry. This way Since then, at least he no longer has to worry about several major sects sending sect blackmails to him... "
"In this case, who can foresee all the events in the future? If there really is such a person, the Holy War would have ended long ago. If His Highness said this, I should be truly ashamed..." Mr. Fang smiled bitterly, "I At that time, I thought that Qianji Zhenjun would be more helpful to His Highness than he was in the officialdom, so he did not persuade His Highness to keep Zhang Tie. , At that time, I never thought that Taiyi Xuanmen, Zhitian Pavilion and Qionglou would actually risk the world and dare to jump out and interfere with Taiyi while His Highness was still supervising the country and Emperor Xuanyuan was only temporarily missing. Xia Dabao's battle, and it seems that this is not a temporary choice of sides, but that they have already united..."
"The most urgent task is still the sect's blackmail. I wonder if you, sir, have any good ideas?"
"This time the opponent made a quick move and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. The so-called good strategies are just countermeasures, but they can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause..."
"Ah, sir, tell me quickly!"
"Isn't His Highness investigating the destruction of the Great Wilderness Sect? From now on, we can first contain a few major sects..."
"But even if we can do something here, we can't make several major sects take back the black post!"
"Of course it's impossible to use the Dahuangmen card to make several major sects withdraw their black posts..."
"Then what's the use of this strategy?"
Mr. Fang was silent for a long time, speechless for a long time, and finally said slowly, "This depends on Qianji Zhenjun's own choice. Although this choice is difficult to make, and there will definitely be a huge price to pay, and once Qianji Zhenjun After the True Lord makes this choice, His Highness will be able to help him deal with the aftermath..."
Xuanyuan Changying was almost confused. She didn't know what Mr. Fang was talking about. "What Mr. Fang means is..."
"The sect's black post is the rule of several major sects in Taixia. This rule is not Taixia's law, not the king's law. To put it bluntly, it is just the rules of Taixia's folk world. Who stipulates who receives the black post of the three major sects? , we have to compete according to the will of several major sects, and we have to fight against stones?"
Xuanyuan Changying suddenly opened her mouth and understood, "But if this happens..."
"So, it is difficult to make such a decision, and once it is made, you will pay a huge price, and you may be ruined. With your permission, I will set off tomorrow to go to Xuanyuan Hill on behalf of Your Highness to see Zhang Tie in person. …”
