Lingshe Mountain is a holy mountain for the Snake Spirit Sect and even the Miao people in Jiuxiang Shibawu. This place is not allowed to enter and exit at will by the Miao people. It is only allowed to enter on specific days. Therefore, the outside world rarely knows about the things in Lingshe Mountain.

The way of governing Lingshe Mountain in each generation is different. For example, the previous leader is a diligent person, who personally inquire about everything in detail and does everything himself. However, his former leader is a person who likes to travel around the world and hides in the city. Since he became the leader, he has never returned to Lingshe Mountain. All the affairs in the sect are handled by the elders, which has caused the elders to have too much power and almost trigger civil strife.

As for this leader Cui Yuzheng, due to his special physical reasons, he was unable to handle affairs by himself, which was almost equivalent to a puppet. All the affairs in the church were decided by Wang Ou alone. The church knew that there was a saint but not the leader, and the leader's authority was greatly weakened.

But these are just the surface. The leader is the leader. Even if he is a leader who cannot lead the affairs, he is also the leader. The snake spirit religion has been passed down for thousands of years and there are countless people who are dedicated to the leader. They believe in the leader, not a person. Anyone who is in the position of the leader will believe in it. This is the foundation of the inheritance.

These people formed an organization dedicated to loyalty to the leader. They wore brown clothes, and each had unique abilities. In the Snake Spirit Sect, they had extraordinary status.

It is precisely because of their existence that Cui Yuzheng can still hold some of the power even though he has almost lost all his authority.

Cui Yuzheng is not a fool, he is not.

The torture of illness in recent years has led to his inner madness, which makes people ignore. He is the eldest grandson of the Cui family in Qinghe. Before he became terminally ill, he was a very excellent fact.

If there is no illness or pain, he will be a qualified successor and an outstanding young talent.

After experiencing pain, torture, grief and helplessness, when he calmed down and realized the reality, he began to cultivate his own power. He never believed in Wang Ou, never.

Wu Miao is the target he has won over. Bai and Wu Miao have always been in disagreement, but it has never reached the level of today. In recent years, Bai and Wu Miao have suffered casualties every year. If it does not involve human life, everything is easy to say. If it involves human life, the hatred cannot be resolved.

The Miao people value family affection. Whose brother died? Just forget it? It’s just that due to the regulation of the Snake Spirit Sect, it has not happened yet, but the seeds of hatred have long been buried in the heart.

Cui Yuzheng won over Wu Miao and tried his best. He not only used the convenience of the leader to secretly help Wu Miao, but also used the power of the Cui family to continuously transport materials from the Central Plains to strengthen Wu Miao's strength. Bai Miao gradually fell into a disadvantage in terms of number and financial resources. If Bai Miao and Wu Miao were the leader, Bai Miao and Wu Miao could still be opened in 50% of the power in Miao Xinjiang, now Miao Xinjiang, black Miao has already occupied more than 60% of the power.

These Wumiao are all under Cui Yuzheng's control. But this kind of control is secret. Few people know about outsiders, not to mention outsiders, even on Snake Ling Mountain.

Cui Yuzheng initially did these things just to protect himself. He was connected with Wang Ou's life and was no longer separated from the Snake Spirit Sect. He could not trust Wang Ou's ability, so he secretly took action to maintain it, trying to control the Snake Spirit Sect in his hands.

But this original intention was completely changed after Wang Ou became pregnant.

Because of that child, his life has dawn, and he has hope and hope.

His life goal is no longer to survive, but to fight for his own body and create a new future for his descendants. He deliberately did not think that the child in Wang Ou's belly was not his bloodline. He did not want this, but only regarded Wang Ou's child as his own flesh and blood. But this matter was not decided by him, so two things became things that must be done and had to be done.

The first thing is that in order to make the child have only one father, Cui Yuzheng wants to kill Li Mu. Only when Li Mu dies can the child belong to him completely.

The second thing is that the Cui family is already closely related to the Snake Spirit Sect. He has invested a lot of resources for Wu Miao for so many years, and these things must be left to his children. However, the rules of the Snake Spirit Sect cannot designate heirs. Each generation of heirs is selected through special methods. In other words, Cui Yuzheng cannot do it, allowing his descendants to inherit the position of the leader.

Even if he did a lot of things for Wumiao, he would never be able to do it. The faith that has been passed down for thousands of years is not so easy to change.

Cui Yuzheng tried several times, but the feedback he received was not feasible. He did not force it, but chose another way immediately.

He wants to rebel!

The so-called Miaojiang, before the Han Dynasty, represented a large area in the southwest. The current Sichuan and Sichuan areas were originally Miaojiang. However, with the evolution of each dynasty, the Central Plains have been eroding towards Miaojiang. Now Miaojiang is only a little land west of the Minjiang River and south of the Minjiang River, which is basically forested, and it is even more difficult to plant crops. The slightly better land has all been returned to the Han people in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Snake Spirit Sect leader in his dreams was to recover the Miaodi land. This is why the Snake Spirit's figure is always accompanied by the chaos in the world. Only when the world is in chaos can the Snake Spirit take advantage of the situation. They never thought of occupying the Central Plains, but just wanted to take back the old land. If they could do this, they would definitely be supported by the Snake Spirit Sect leader of the Miao Village Jiuxiang Shibawu. By that time, he would not be the Snake Spirit Sect leader, but the King of the Miao people.

It is natural to establish a country in Miaojiang and pass it on to future generations.

Now the Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful, and it is almost impossible to successfully rebel. However, it is still possible to control the degree below the rebellion. The rebellion that Cui Yuzheng wanted was a civilian change. He controlled it in Sichuan and Shu, and did not expand it further, restored Miaojiang to the other side of the Minjiang River, forced the court to give in, and granted him a title like Miao King, so that he could appease the Miao people on behalf of the court, and inherited it, and his purpose was achieved.

If it is at this level, it is not impossible to have any chance to operate properly. Because Miaojiang is too small for the Tang Dynasty. It is so small that it is not worth being encircled by heavy troops. It is a waste of troops to be dispatched, and Miaojiang will not be able to return for a hundred years. Such a loss-making transaction is not cost-effective.

After making up his mind, Cui Yuzheng began to implement it. Perhaps it was God's will to help others. When he really started to implement it, Cui Yuzheng found that the situation seemed to be quite beneficial to him.

Last year, the people from the Cui family in Boling found him and begged him for help. Cui Yuyan, who was sentenced to be exiled, was replaced by the Cui family through contacts and was taken back to the Central Plains for fear of being discovered. The emperor in Miaojiang was far away and was suitable for hiding, so he wanted to ask him to help take care of him.

Although Cui Yuzheng is from the Cui family in Qinghe, not the Cui family in Boling. However, the two Cui family were a family hundreds of years ago, and they also have relatives. Moreover, Wang Ou has been doing business in the Central Plains over the years and has received a lot of help from the Cui family in Boling. He couldn't think of a reason to refuse this little thing.

In this way, Cui Yuyan stayed.

Cui Yuzheng met Cui Yuyan twice, and the two of them even discussed their brothers. Then because of Wang Ou and Li Mu, Cui Yuzheng left Miaojiang. Now, no one cared about Cui Yuyan and started having fun.

He called himself the Imperial Master Cui. He relied on Cui Yuzheng's power and the help of the Cui family of Boling, made friends with local officials, formed gangs and levies taxes. He blocked the road and cut off bridges, controlled the news, and made the Miao village in Jiuxiang and Shibawu a mess.

When Cui Yuzheng first came back, he was almost angry. But after sorting it out, he became grateful.

What Cui Yuyan did was a good foundation. Only when the Han people bullied the Miao people more and more, could he raise his arms and respond. Cui Yuyan's reckless behavior helped him lay the hearts of the people.

The people's hearts are available!

What he needs to do now is simple, he just needs to find an opportunity to help Miao Village on his own chariot. In the battle ten years ago, the Miao people were greatly injured by Li Xiaogong, and they already felt a sense of fear of the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. They would not dare to have another dispute, otherwise Cui Yuyan would not have endured this time if they would have harmed Miaojiang so much.

We have to find a way to force them to submit and let them burn their boats.

At this moment, he received the news. Li Mu led his team to set out from Luoyang, passed by Chang'an, and came to Sichuan.

Cui Yuzheng knew what he was doing! The enemy was very jealous when they met. When Cui Yuzheng received the news, he set up a trap. There were many roads to Miaojiang. Why did Li Mu walk to the cliff with his actions? That was the result of the person he arranged and guided him all the way.

Every time Dugu Jiu finds all the guides he has arranged, how can he not walk to the cliff?

Cui Yuzheng knew Li Mu more than anyone else. He collected Li Mu’s news more carefully than anyone else. He knew the hot air balloon market and had long expected that if Li Mu reached the cliff, he would definitely transform the hot air balloon, so he arranged an archer to wait on the other end of the cliff. As expected, although Li Mu was not shot to death directly, he fell into the Minjiang River and died.

This is the first step in his plan, just a bait to catch the big fish behind.

Cui Yuzheng had already found out that the governor of Shuzhou, Tang Jian, had noticed the illegal affairs of Cui Yuyan and others, and was arranging people to investigate the matter. He was only considering that the matter involved the Miao people, so he did not make any big fuss.

When Li Mu comes to Sichuan, Tang Jian will definitely know. If Li Mu has an accident in Sichuan, with his relationship with Li Mu, Tang Jian will not be able to sit idly by whether it is public or private.

Now Li Musheng has no one to see anyone, and no corpse to die. This matter is so serious that Tang Jian must come to investigate and confirm it personally. Only then can he report it to the court to see how the matter is handled. However, Cui Yuzheng can also guess the final result, and the matter will inevitably be left unresolved.

Why is it gone? There are two reasons.

First, Li Mu is the Marquis of Luoyang, and Luoyang is his vassal state. He left the vassal state privately and was killed according to the law. This is a sin. If a person is already dead, it is impossible to make a big fuss about his reputation.

Secondly, Li Mu's purpose in Sichuan and Sichuan was Wang Ou. Cui Yuzheng also knew about Wang Ou and Li Shimin. This matter must have left a knot in Li Shimin's heart. Li Mu is still useful when he is alive, and Li Shimin may stand up for him. But when Li Mu dies, as the emperor, Li Shimin cannot cause riots among hundreds of thousands of Miao people for a dead person.

But Tang Jian is different.

Although Tang Jian was demoted to Shuzhou as the governor, this did not affect his identity as a chief official in the border area. Tang Jian was not Li Mu, he represented the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court's rule over Miaojiang. It was normal for him to appear anywhere in Miaojiang.

If he died in Jiuxiang and Shibawu, the court would not turn a blind eye. If a magistrate died, he could go through it vaguely. Who would take the court seriously in the future? What is the majesty of the court?

By the same token, if Tang Jian died in Jiuxiang Shibawu, Miao people would never think that the court would pursue this matter. In their mental presupposition, the court would definitely pursue it to the end.

So the problem is here, how to investigate it?

The Han people have already oppressed Miao Min enough, and Cui Yuzheng felt that what Cui Yuyan and others did was a bit too much. At this time, because a so-called marquis died, the court still had to pursue Miao Min. What would Miao Min think?

Whether it is fear of pursuing or inner resentment, when it gathers together and quantitative change causes qualitative change, the time is coming to rush your arms and shout.

There is God's will in the dark. This time, Cui Yuzheng felt that God's will was on his side.

Everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to you.

In the dark hole, there was no five fingers. In the darkness, there were only a pair of eyes, flashing with a faint green light.

That was Cui Yuzheng's eyes.

A man was reporting the news, and he did not dare to look up. The leader's eyes made him frightened: "...Report to the leader that Dugu Jiu and his party had found the ferry and crossed the Minjiang River. As the leader expected, Dugu Jiu had sent a messenger to inform Tang Jian of the news."

"If you have news, tell me anytime." His voice was hoarse, like the friction of metal. There was God's will in the dark. This time, Cui Yuzheng felt that God's will was standing on his side.

Everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to you.
