The main altar of theosophy.

Putting down the purple pen and raising her head from the pile of papers, Xiao Die stretched out happily, her little cherry mouth opened like a yawning civet cat.

——It’s hard to imagine that such small lips can be stretched so wide.

Taking a look at the sky outside, calculating the time, and then thinking about the time to report things to Zhao Yujie every day and the things to be reported today, Xiaodie's bright eyes gradually curved up, turning into a crescent shape.

.

She was delighted to find that she actually had two moments to spare today!

"Great! Finally... finally I can play for a while!" Xiaodie stood up with a smile.

Opportunities like this don't come around every day, especially now that the situation in the Central Plains is tense and she has less and less time to play. Opportunities like today are extremely precious.

Running to the door and bathing in the golden and warm sunshine, Xiaodie raised her pretty little face full of intoxication, feeling comfortable and wanting to imitate a wolf howl.

Of course she can't really learn howl like a wolf, that's something only Dahuang can do.

Time is running out, so hurry up.

Just as she was about to walk down the steps, her feet were lifted, but she suddenly stood there, and did not fall down for a long time. The facial features that had just bloomed like flowers slowly became entangled together, and black lines slowly appeared on Xiaodie's smooth and white forehead.

Became confused and frustrated.

She was in a dilemma.

"I only have two moments, should I go find Dahuang and Xiaobai, or sneak out of the church and go to Jimingfang to buy chestnut cakes to eat?"

Xiaodie hesitated, picked up her fingers as white and tender as onions and began to count, her face was serious and solemn, as if she was choosing her ideal husband, "Should we go for a walk by the Bian River outside the city?"

"I heard that there are a lot of people flying kites there now. I haven't seen a kite for a long time. Maybe I can borrow one from someone and fly it... No, no, no, I only have two moments, so I can't fly it for long.

It’s better to go eat something delicious!”

After making up her mind, Xiaodie finally lowered her feet that had been hanging for a long time.

But the next moment, the other foot was in the air and couldn't put it down.

She raised her fingers again and began to calculate: "Should I eat chestnut cakes or eat thin fish? It seems that I haven't eaten red date soft mud cake for more than ten days, or I should eat Chunfenglou's chopped pepper fish head.

?”

There were many choices, all very tempting, and each one made her salivate. Ten fingers on both hands were soon not enough.

Xiaodie sucked her nozzle to suck back the bits of food that almost flowed out, then sat down on the steps and began to solemnly comment on the pros and cons of various delicacies, trying to find the one most worthy of tasting.

Before she could make up her mind, a series of hurried footsteps quickly approached, and the voice of the religious master soon sounded outside the courtyard door: "Chief, something important is happening in the city."

Xiaodie, who was salivating at the table full of delicious food, raised her head blankly: "What's the matter?"

"Fourth-grade Grand Master Wei Anzhi killed three soldiers of the Xuanwu Army in the busy city. One of them was the commander of the Xuanwu Army. Chief, the fifth-grade Grandmaster Liu Ce, who is now in the late Yuanshen realm, has trained Zhou with the Xuanwu Army.

We arrived at the scene and were fighting with Wei Anzhi!"

The master explained everything very clearly in a very fast speaking speed.

Xiaodie's expression changed, and she suddenly jumped out from being surrounded by countless delicious food, and stood up suddenly: "Why did Wei Anzhi kill people?"

"The details have not yet been ascertained. I only know that there were disciples of the White Clothes Sect fighting with Xuanwu Army soldiers in the street at that time." The master spoke cautiously, "Chief, does the General Forum want to send out experts to bring Wei Anzhi back immediately?"

Xiaodie did not give an answer to the question, but immediately asked: "Wei Anzhi is one against two, how is the battle going?"

"We currently have the upper hand."

Xiaodie was startled. With one against two, can he still gain the upper hand?

Then, she bit her glistening red lower lip and remained silent.

The master's suggestion was very logical, but Xiaodie's little head turned quickly and she felt that the matter was not that simple. She had to consider it more comprehensively and handle it carefully.

Although Wei Anzhi acted erratically, judging from his performance in the Caozhou Divine War, we can see that he was by no means a brainless person. He must have had a deep meaning when he blatantly killed a commander of the Xuanwu Army in Chang Street.

"Did Liu Ce and Zhou Qi arrive together?" Xiaodie suddenly asked.

"Arrived hand in hand."

Xiaodie's eyes flickered.

Why is Liu Ce with Zhou Qian?

It is not a strange thing for a divine master to interact with the generals of the Xuanwu Army. It is normal. However, in today’s strange conflict between the divine master and the leader of the White Clothes Sect and the Xuanwu Army, the behavior of Liu Ce and Zhou Qi coming hand in hand is...

Xiaodie had to think more.

As the chief guru of the divine sect, Xiao Die certainly knows that the conflict between the White Clothes Sect and the die-hard faction has broken out. This is inevitable. The Divine Sect will use the White Clothes Sect to carry out internal changes, purge the internal atmosphere and seek to establish new rules and regulations.

It was impossible not to encounter resistance from the old guard.

To say that the turmoil in which the leader of the White Clothes Faction is in danger has nothing to do with the dispute between the White Clothes Faction and the Die-hard Faction, Xiaodie doesn't believe it at first.

"So, the die-hards are killing people with a borrowed knife and uniting with the Xuanwu Army to deal with the White Clothes Faction? Is what happened today a trap they set up for Wei Anzhi?" Xiaodie quickly speculated.

Along with this speculation, there was a hint of displeasure.

"Using forces outside the church to interfere with the internal affairs of the divine church, or to oppose the things I support. The die-hards rely on their own power and act unscrupulously. They don't take me seriously." Xiaodie felt some malice.

.

This kind of malice is called having a big tail but not losing it.

Although the White Clothes Sect has been developing rapidly recently, it is undoubtedly still very far behind the overall strength of the die-hard faction. At present, the White Clothes Sect is relying on its control of the Divine War Army and its penetration into various sub-alternities in Bianliang.

It seems more powerful.

"Is Wei Anzhi able to break his opponent's trap?"

This question is very critical. Xiaodie thought about it carefully, "He is the leader of the White Faction. He should not be unsure about the situation of the White Faction and the struggle with the die-hards - so what is the purpose of his killing spree today?"

When Wei Anzhi had already killed the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, Liu Ce, the master of the divine religion, showed up, who could effectively constrain the position of the divine religion and intimidate Wei Anzhi. Coupled with the training of the Xuanwu Army, the two combined forces. Originally,

Wei Anzhi can be forced to submit obediently.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Anzhi was most likely aware that he had fallen into a trap and was having a hard time defending himself, he neither surrendered nor escaped on the spot. Instead, he started a fight with Liu Ce and Zhou Qian, and was still able to secure the position.

Advantage.

The situation suddenly came to a standstill.

"Go and find out the specific cause of today's turmoil. Don't let go of any clues. In addition, it is said that all the king's masters will come over immediately." Xiaodie gave her order.

She will not make any rash moves until she fully grasps the whole situation, otherwise it may have the opposite effect.

Of course, she must support and help the White Clothes Faction, and try to keep the other party as long as she can keep Wei Anzhi. The most important thing right now is that no one with a stronger cultivation than Wei Anzhi can be allowed to suppress the other party.

The master took orders outside the courtyard gate and left. From the beginning to the end, he never stepped into the courtyard gate.

Xiaodie raised her head and glanced at the sky, her face full of pity, and she shook her head regretfully.

Two moments passed.

...

Handsome Mansion.

After listening to the reports from his cultivators, Zhang Jing frowned and looked at Guo Huai suspiciously: "The sect is crazy? They actually killed my commander in the street? What do they want to do?"

"This matter is indeed strange." Guo Huai touched his beard. He also found it strange. Seeing Zhang Jing's doubts, he quickly said: "But Commander, there is no need to be too worried. The divine religion will not be detrimental to us."

Zhang Jing snorted coldly: "It's hard to say. Who knows what they are thinking!"

Guo Huai was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Jing's words are not without purpose.

Although Zhang Jing accepted Zhao Yujie's suggestion to defend the city and canceled the plan for the Bianliang battle, he has been thinking about it again and again these days.

The doubts became more and more serious.

Although he often adopts Zhao Yujie's suggestions, he does not follow Zhao Yujie's advice and has no thoughts of his own. On the contrary, he reminds himself all the time not to change positions between master and slave with the divine religion.

Ever since he accepted Zhao Yujie's suggestion, the divine sect has obviously had more contacts with the Yang family recently. Although the other party deliberately concealed it, as a master in the middle stage of the King's Realm, he could still detect some clues.

Zhang Jing had to suspect that there was some kind of connection between the divine sect and the Yang family.

——This is indeed the case.

Yang Yanguang's decision to allow the divine religion to preach in the Kingdom of Wu was not a simple matter of one or two sentences. A series of problems followed.

For example, the scale of the divine religion’s missionary work, the status of the divine religion in the Wu State, the government’s management plan for the divine religion, the relationship between the divine religion and the scholar-bureaucrats, whether the divine religion’s scriptures meet the needs of Wu’s rule, and whether the specific words in the scriptures will be

Conflict with certain Confucian thoughts, etc., must be carefully discussed.

With so many problems that need to be solved urgently, how could the contacts between the cult and the Yang family not become more frequent? Can Zhao Yujie wait until the war is over before finalizing these matters? Isn't she afraid that the Yang family will regret it once the war is over?

Even if Yang does not go back on his word, it would be a big problem to compromise on various conditions.

Zhao Yujie had to take advantage of the time when Zhang Jing's base had not been swallowed up by the war. She could influence Zhang Jing's influence on the war situation in the Central Plains, and quickly finalized everything with the Wu Kingdom and arranged for the divine religion to enter the Wu Kingdom.

The Jinguang Sect has no masters in the late stage of the Wangji Realm. There are two practitioners in the middle stage of the Wangji Realm. One is the chief master of the divine sect and must sit in the center, and the other is ambitious and cannot be trusted without reservation. Their contacts with the Wu Kingdom mainly rely on Wang Ji.

A practitioner in the early stages of the extreme realm.

The battle was about to begin, and Zhang Jing was very alert and focused on all aspects, fearing that something unexpected might happen. As the enemy troops approached the city, he had to become more suspicious, and he could not and dare not fully trust anyone.
