Teng Qingshan asked Li Jun and Liuzu Daochi to stay outside, and he carried the mountain-opening axe on his back and entered the cave together with Pei San.
After walking along the deep cave for a long time, I came to a quiet room, and a faint light came in from the gap in the wall.
"Sit." Pei San sat cross-legged in front of the low stone table.
Teng Qingshan sat opposite Pei San.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Pei Sandan said with a smile.
"Palace Master." Teng Qingshan frowned, "I heard that Palace Master dispatched a large army, especially the Divine Guard Army, Blood Lotus Army and Tu Yuanwei, to attack Yangzhou in the south?"
"That's right." Pei San nodded.
"The three elite armies of the Palace Master are indeed powerful, especially Tu Yuanwei... 12,000 first-class fighters, this is a very terrifying force. If I guess correctly, this Tu Yuanwei should be built by the 'Spirit of the North Sea' Come out." Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "It was rumored that many 'spirits of the North Sea' were born during the Battle of Dayan Mountain."
Back then, the spirit of the North Sea caused competition among various sects. Although it was a secret, it was not a secret to the Void Realm powerhouses.
"Exactly." Pei San still nodded.
"Palace Master, Tu Yuanwei is very strong. I also have to give a thumbs up to the strength of the people in Tianshen Palace." Teng Qingshan's words made Pei San smile. Everyone likes to hear good words, but Teng Qingshan changed the subject : "However, as far as I know, you, the palace lord, should not be the only ones who got the spirit of the North Sea back then."
Pei San frowned slightly.
"This time, the palace lord will destroy Xiaoyao Palace in Qingzhou first, and Hongtian City in Youzhou second. Now they are going to attack Yangzhou! What do you think the people of the world think? Not to mention other sects, first of all, Qinghu Island in Yangzhou must resist to the death. And the rabbit died and the fox was sad, I am afraid that Sheri Shenshan knows that once Qinghu Island is finished, their Sheri Shenshan will also be finished. Therefore, two virtual realm experts and a virtual realm monster from Sheri Shenshan went to help the blind sword master, Not surprising at all." Teng Qingshan said solemnly.
Pei San smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"Palace Master, you now have the northern prairie, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, with nearly one billion people under your command. Yuhuangmen, Ying's family, and Mani Temple have already been on alert. In Yanzhou... I am afraid that the southernmost Mani Temple will not be able to bear it."
"On soldiers and horses!"
"There were several companies that got the spirit of the North Sea back then. They can also create a powerful army composed of first-class warriors. Adding Yuhuangmen, Mani Temple and other auxiliary Sheri Mountain and Qinghu Island, then there will be an army of more than ten thousand It's not surprising that people have an army of first-rate warriors."
"On the strong in the void."
"Sheri Sacred Mountain and Qinghu Island, that's four! If Mani Temple and Yuhuangmen can tolerate it, it's fine, but if they can't bear it, they will explode! Then, I'm afraid it's not just four virtual realms, but seven Eight, or even more than ten Void Realm powerhouses!"
"There are no fewer soldiers and horses than you, and they occupy an advantageous location. If Mani Temple and others also attack, I'm afraid..." Teng Qingshan sighed, "Palace Master, last time Brother Li Chao lost his arm, the enemy was only Hong Tiancheng. But if this time again Attacking Yangzhou, once the Mani Temple and others erupt, I am afraid that some virtual realms in the Tianshen Palace will also fall, or even more than one. Palace Master, do you have the heart to do this?"
Pei San frowned, Li Chao's severed arm was indeed a thorn in Pei San's heart.
Li Chao was raised by Pei San since he was a child, and he almost treated him like his son. Li Chao lost his arm, and Pei San was furious.
have to admit—
Teng Qingshan's words hit Pei San's vitals.
"Palace Master, if you endure for ten or twenty years." Teng Qingshan said again, "With Qingzhou, Youzhou, and the prairie having a vast territory and population, after ten or twenty years, the foundation will be solid. The land of the three states It is not difficult to gather tens of millions of troops. When the time comes, tens of thousands of troops will go south and destroy all the way, who can stop them?"
"Even Mani Temple is not as good as Tianshen Palace in terms of site foundation."
"And after more than ten or twenty years, if the palace master makes another breakthrough. At that time, the strength will be stronger. Leading the army across the world, the confidence will increase several times."
"If you can bear it for a hundred years, with the prosperity of the three states, it is not impossible for Tianshen Palace to add two or three virtual realms. At that time, Tianshen Palace will be even more powerful, even better than Mani Temple. If you don't fight, you will be defeated." Already won." Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "Palace Master, you have to think about it yourself. Is it going to fight now, bloody and broken, and even killed several Void Realms. It is better to wait patiently to consolidate strength and destroy all the way. A big victory. The palace lord chooses the two."
Pei San frowned.
What Teng Qingshan said is indeed very reasonable, but Pei San's thinking angle is different from Teng Qingshan's, and what he wants to do is not what Teng Qingshan can think of.
"Haha, Huhe." Pei San suddenly laughed.
"The palace master has been chosen?" Teng Qingshan remained calm.
The third generation looked at Teng Qingshan with a smile: "Void Realm experts have been retreating all year round, and they are generally not good at negotiating and refuting. But you and I are quite proficient in persuasion and negotiation. I admit that I was a little bit tricked by you. Confidence is shaken."
Teng Qingshan was startled.
The situation is not good!
"Huhe, you came to persuade me, probably because of Gui Yuanzong. I heard that you have a lot of friendship with Gui Yuanzong." Pei San asked instead of answering.
"Yes, Gui Yuanzong was kind to me back then." Teng Qingshan replied.
Pei San nodded: "It's a good thing to repay your kindness. Huhe, to tell you the truth, the use of troops against Yangzhou this time was already in the plan, and naturally it cannot be changed. And I have a well-thought-out plan for all kinds of situations." Pei San faced Teng Qingshan couldn't see through the smile on his face.
"Guiyuanzong is kind to me." Teng Qingshan said in a low voice, "I don't want to see him destroy the sect."
"If I send my troops south and conquer Jiangning County all the way, will you fight me as an enemy?" Pei San looked at Teng Qingshan with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
For the enemy
Teng Qingshan stared at Pei San, and said a word between his teeth: "Yes!"
"Okay." Pei San smiled and nodded, "This is a good man. Dare to fight against my Tianshen Palace for the sake of kindness."
"However, no matter how much I appreciate you, it's useless." Pei San smiled and said, "Going south to invade Yangzhou, my Tianshen Palace planned for hundreds of years, and endured for hundreds of years. Now the outbreak is to occupy several states. Hundreds of years of forbearance , will it change because of your words, how can it change because of my appreciation for you? Huhe, let's go, now you can let the people of Yuanzong dismiss as much as possible, lurk, and prepare to make a comeback."
Teng Qingshan's face was a bit ugly.
"Palace Master, you owe me a favor." Teng Qingshan said in a low voice.
"Yes." Pei San nodded.
"I'm busy with this person, I hope you don't attack Yangzhou, Palace Master." Teng Qingshan stared at Pei San.
"With this kind of favor? Let me not attack Yangzhou?" Pei San was stunned, showing a wry smile, "It seems that I am in a cocoon."
Teng Qingshan stared at Pei San with bated breath.
"Haha..." Pei San couldn't help laughing loudly, the laughter reverberated in the quiet room and caused a lot of crushed stones to roll down, Pei San stood up abruptly, and Teng Qingshan also stood up.
Pei San picked up a jug of wine placed in the corner of the quiet room, raised his head and took a sip, then turned his head and stared at Teng Qingshan with lightning-like eyes: "Huhe, you think highly of me, Pei San. The favor of me, Pei San, But it’s not as important as conquering Yangzhou. You can ask me to help you kill people, but just asking me to stop conquering Yangzhou is not enough for me to do that.”
"Naga, you owe me a promise of gratitude." Teng Qingshan said in a low voice.
"It's not enough." Pei San's hair fluttered violently, and he looked at Teng Qingshan coldly, "You still don't understand? Siege and occupation of a state is a great cause for thousands of years. What is a favor and a promise? So, capture Yangzhou , I must do what I need to do, so don't worry too much about it."
Teng Qingshan's face turned blue with anger.
This Pei San...
Is it really a heroic figure, a favor, a promise? You can use the sentence "humanity is not as important as conquering Yangzhou" to evade the past. If this kind of person encounters something that Teng Qingshan tells him not to do, he can also say 'this favor is not worth my doing'.
The degree of favor depends entirely on Pei San's opening of his mouth.
"However, this favor and promise can be exchanged for a county. Guaranteed to belong to Yuanzong's inheritance, what do you think?" Pei San smiled.
"Thank you for your promise, in exchange for the land of a county?" Teng Qingshan hesitated a little, then looked at Pei San, "Palace Master, it's a deal."
"Okay." Pei San nodded, "In this case, then, in Yangzhou, in the northernmost Chu County, or in the south near the barren 'Nanman County', you choose one of these two counties, and let Gui Yuanzong stay. "
"What?" Teng Qingshan was stunned, "Palace Master, I'm talking about Jiangning County! Let Gui Yuanzong stay in Jiangning County!"
"Haha... Jiangning County?" Pei San smiled and looked at Teng Qingshan, "Huhe, you are not a fool, don't you understand? This Jiangning County is located in the middle of Yangzhou, and it is a prosperous place. And the Yuyang Grand Canal is even more Pass through it, such an important position, how can I let other sects occupy it?"
"If you want to choose, choose the northernmost Chu County, or the southernmost Nanman County. A favor and a promise are only worth one of these two counties." Pei San looked at Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan's expression turned cold.
My heart also cooled down.
What is most important to a denomination? It is the foundation!
It's like Tianshen Palace. Although it has occupied Qingzhou and Youzhou now, it has not been operated at all, and its control is still very weak.
The same is true for Guiyuanzong. The Guiyuan family has been in Jiangning for more than a thousand years, and it can be said to be deeply rooted. Even a remote mountain village knows that Jiangning's 'heaven' is Guiyuanzong! This kind of cohesion cannot be achieved in ten or twenty years. It can be controlled at most in ten or twenty years, but the people's aspirations need generations, hundreds or even thousands of years.
Abandon Jiangning County and go to the remote and unfamiliar 'Nanman County' or 'Chu County'
"Master also said at the beginning that it is enough to let Gui Yuanzong stay in Jiangning. I didn't expect Pei San to be so cruel." Teng Qingshan was impatient.
"Big deal, just fight!"
"It took several months for Tianshen Palace to destroy Qingzhou, and nearly half a year to destroy Hongtian City. I am afraid it will take even more time to destroy Qinghu Island in Yangzhou. According to the original agreement, there should be one more year at the latest. It's time to arrive in two months. Fight and fight! When Xiaoqing arrives, with Xiaoqing's speed, group attack ability, and six-legged sword chi, there will be tears in Tianshen Palace."
Teng Qingshan had no other choice.
Can only bet!
Bet that the 'Undead Phoenix' will arrive before Guiyuanzong is captured.
"It's a big deal. When it's too late, I'll take the six-legged knife to the Phoenix Island and invite them directly." Teng Qingshan made a decision.
break!
In order to return to Yuanzong, he had no choice but to choose this way!
