Chapter 41: The North-South Confluence Breaks the Array
Su Li left, life continued, and the major event in the human world was still moving forward in an orderly manner.
In fact, it is precisely because Su Li left that the big event has the possibility of success and can continue.
On the 17th day after Xu Yourong arrived in Kyoto with the Saint Maiden and his group, representatives of the southern families represented by the head of the Akiyama family, also entered the Great Zhou border. In the third year of the resignation of the Changsheng Sect, many mountain sects nominally affiliated with this sect sent effective representatives.
In the following period, more and more representatives of southern forces sat in the negotiation seat.
The merger of north and south is no longer just a noun that exists in classics and imagination, but is getting closer to reality faster and faster.
For the southerners, the biggest problem they face now is that with the departure of Su Li and the Saint, they now do not have a strong man in the sacred realm. Whether at the negotiating table or elsewhere, such as the wine table, they always seem to be a little confident.
Unexpectedly, both the Great Zhou court and the State Church did not make any unreasonable demands through this change in strength comparison. On the contrary, they showed extremely rare generosity and enlightenment, and made a series of guarantee commitments for the future interests of the Southern people.
Only those who are truly wise can see the confrontation hidden behind or before this negotiation.
That was the confrontation between Su Li and the Holy Queen of Tianhai and the Pope.
With unimaginable wisdom and courage, he gave up the right to retaliate against those who were chasing the South on his way back. With the saint leaving, the South directly lost all its confidence, thus leaving the negotiation no longer a chance to fall into the quagmire that had been repeated countless times.
Then the Holy Queen and the Pope should give him enough rebates correspondingly and give him extremely generous conditions to the South.
In the details of the negotiation, these rebates or generous treatments are: after the merger of north and south, the south will maintain as much independence as possible.
This independence has exceeded the best imagination of the southern forces in advance.
There is no need to change counties or re-designate prefectures and counties. Local officials can be elected by themselves, and do not need to be approved by the Kyoto Ministry of Personnel. They only need to enter Beijing for inspection once every three years. Taxation is also extremely favorable, and in terms of the transfer of silver funds to the treasury, they are extremely biased towards a relatively poor county in the south.
In addition, the South has also gained a lot of benefits, especially the Da Dynasty Examination and the Imperial Examination. From then on, Kyoto no longer needs to divide the share. Instead, the quota can be determined based on the number of registered people like other prefectures and counties. Based on the performance of the South in recent years, this will be a huge advantage in the Da Dynasty Examination.
Of course, the southerners could not have to do anything, and the negotiations were far from over. Some matters have been confirmed, that is, the military and foreign affairs will be managed by Kyoto in the future. The biggest change will occur in the border of the snow-capped snowfield that stretches thousands of miles in the north. In the past, the sects and sects in the south and southern families would also send strong people to join the northern military frontier to fight against the army of the demons, but they are all guest officials, obeying the tune and not the announcement. Now these strong people will directly join the army. Coupled with changes in logistics support and other changes, I believe that the strength of the human army will be greatly improved in a very short time, and this was the most important or even the only purpose of the merger of north and south.
While the negotiations on the north-south convergence were gradually becoming successful, the strong men and the army of the human world also strengthened their vigilance against the north. The food and supplies from the south were continuously transported to eleven important borders, and were always ready to give a heavy blow to the demon cavalry going south, because it was obvious that the demons could not watch the north-south convergence of the human world succeeded, and they would definitely do something, especially the extremely insidious military advisor, who might have begun to use his conspiracy and tricks.
The situation in the north was a little nervous, and the negotiation table in Kyoto was also a little nervous, but the tension was different. Xu Yourong played an extremely important role in the confluence of the north and south. It can even be said that she was the most important representative on the spiritual level, because she was a Zhou native and a southern saint. Naturally, her schedule became busy, constantly summoning representatives of various forces in the south, and at the same time communicating with the Great Zhou court. Fortunately, she lived in the palace and wanted to meet with the Holy Queen.
Chen Changsheng hasn't seen her for more than ten days and is a little worried, but knowing that she is doing extremely important things, of course she will not complain. As a person who cherishes time the most, he did not waste his days missing and waiting. With the coldness of the deep winter, he constantly polished his spirit, realized the five stone beads, and silently carried two sword techniques. Occasionally taught new students in the National Education College, and more often he still studied, and of course he did not forget some other important things.
On a normal winter day with wind and snow, he purchased a large number of food and gadgets in the street market, held a yellow paper umbrella, avoided countless eyeliners around the National Education College, walked under the nose of the palace guards to the tree outside the palace wall, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the strong wind and snow, and jumped into the well in Beixinqiao.
The most oil-absorbing burrs were spread on the ground half the size of the house. Countless hot foods were placed neatly on it, with the same hot steam and different fragrances, including steamed deer tails, roast goose and duck, and more than a dozen strings of rice dumplings, but this time there was no steamed bear paw... Because of Xuanyuan Po, no one in the National Education College has eaten that now.
Chen Changsheng used two fingers to pull out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully wiped the oil and water on his hands, looked up at Heilong and said, "Tang Tang turned Chenghu Tower into the canteen of the National Education College... I forgot to tell you... But except for blue lobster, I still bought everything else outside, and it feels better."
In the middle of the food all over the ground, there is a hill made of blue lobsters.
Chen Changsheng kept laughing when he said these words. His smile was very clean and he felt a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart.
He was really satisfied that he was able to get so much good food for Heilong.
The black dragon's body slowly fell down, and a cold meaning that was hard to describe in words instantly lowered the steam emitted by the food.
Chen Changsheng quickly drew his sword and slashed. A sword intent with a faint light broke through the air. The food suddenly became hot and did not freeze into ice.
He used the Liaotian Sword.
A few nights ago, he realized the sword intent in the letter for a long time, and then saw Su Li's Liaotian Sword and the Saint Queen's Wufeng Xiaopin battle, which had some benefits.
Although his swordsmanship is not yet at its peak, it can be called unparalleled in his current realm.
But... I feel that it is inappropriate to use the Liaotian sword that is extremely difficult to fully understand.
Heilong didn't think so, she felt it was very appropriate.
She was very satisfied with the food on the ground that Chen Changsheng had been careful to prepare and the blue lobster like a hill. She was even more satisfied with Chen Changsheng's method of using the Liaotian sword to warm the food, because this showed that in his eyes, it was much more important to let her eat fresh and hot food than to maintain the so-called dignity of kendo.
She decided to forgive him for not coming here to see her for almost a month.
A majestic and distant, simple but extremely complex dragon roar sounded in the dark and cold ground.
Chen Changsheng was slightly stunned, not understanding why the Black Dragon was not in a hurry to eat, but he had to take the Dragon Language course first. The next moment he suddenly remembered that he had sent the Black Dragon so many times, but he didn't seem to see her eating in front of him...
"ah……"
"Well……"
"Alas……"
“Woo…”
“Well…”
From time to time, the deep and majestic dragon roar sounded from the black dragon underground, and Chen Changsheng was clumsy and serious in learning the voice.
Chen Changsheng studied very attentively until his voice was hoarse, his sea of consciousness was empty, and his body was extremely weak, but he did not forget to cut a sword of the Liaotian toward him every once in a while, helping the roast goose and roast ducks maintain their original fragrance under the most suitable heat.
The black dragon's whiskers occasionally float up, sprinkling snow frost, and landing on the hill made of blue lobsters. The picture is very beautiful.
I don’t know how long it took, today’s Dragon Language Course was finally over. Heilong let out a gentle breath in his face, and a ray of frost appeared on his face. He reached out to rub the frost away, feeling a sensation, refreshed, and all the fatigue disappeared without a trace.
"I'll go over there and take a look."
Chen Changsheng did not forget the most important thing, and swept backwards and saw the two iron chains. The other end of the iron chain was on the stone wall, held in his hands by the two legendary gods. Compared with the huge black dragon's mountain-like body, these two iron chains were like two hairs, but they could lock the black dragon tightly here.
I believe that in the past hundreds of years, the Black Dragon has tried countless methods and tried to break these two iron chains, but failed.
In the past six months after returning to Kyoto from Zhou Yuan, Chen Changsheng also thought of many ways, but failed.
The formation that Wang Zhice set up on the stone wall was too complicated and complicated, like a sea of stars.
The two gods, Yugong and Qin Chong, attached a wisp of spiritual consciousness to the stone wall, which was too powerful and violent, like thunder and lightning.
The last time the wild flowers bloomed was nearly a thousand years ago, but those legends were still legends. Even if they had turned into a ray of heroic soul, they were not something he could fight against now, and they were not even a realm that he could touch now - the name of that realm was called the Holy.
Chen Changsheng sat at the bottom of the stone wall, and quietly read the book in his hand under the eyes of these legends.
The book he was reading at this time was a bit old, and its name was "A Study on the Atlas of Sheyang Real Human Array".
No one knows Wang Zhice's specific teacher. The ordinary teacher in Tiandao Court suddenly shone in Kyoto when he was middle-aged and his voice shook the mainland. No one knows who his teacher was. He flipped through hundreds of books in the library of the National Education College and found an ordinary Taoist priest named Wu in Wang Zhice's hometown.
Wang Zhice’s hometown is Sheyang.
The Taoist priest surnamed Wu is the real person Sheyang.
