() In the study, Liu Xia sat behind a huge sand table.
Zhe Tian, Hun Yu, and Miao Yin stood in front of the sand table and explained to Liu Xia.
Liu Xia was secretly frightened as she listened to their explanation.
In the three northwest provinces, the power of the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult has almost completely covered them.
After a group of aristocratic families headed by the Liang family took refuge in the Holy Religion, the Holy Religion developed rapidly in the northwest.
Today, there are hundreds of thousands of believers.
It can be said that if the leader of the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult is willing, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, the entire northwest will be wiped out in an instant.
The power of the Holy Religion has become a serious problem in the northwest.
"Your Highness, we originally planted a lot of gullible people among the northwest sects and the imperial court. As a result, we suffered heavy losses when Liu Xia came. After these days of hard work, although we have regained some control, it is still very weak."
Hunyu said worriedly.
"The biggest threat to us now is Zhao Yong's northwest border guard army. Although we tried hard to place some of our people in his army, we had little success."
Zhe Tian followed and said.
"So, as long as Zhao Yong is taken care of, the northwest will be firmly in the hands of the leader?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"Your Highness is wise."
Immediately, Hunyu cupped his fists and said.
Liu Xia stood up and looked at the sand table carefully. The main members of the Holy Cult were scattered in the farm that had taken refuge with them.
It is very difficult to destroy them.
Eradicating the power of the Holy Religion in the northwest is far from easy as imagined.
However, Liu Xia is confident.
The leader of the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult is obviously playing a big game of chess.
The Tianyuan Dynasty was just his place of residence, but his real goal was the Tianji Dynasty.
After controlling the northwest, as long as he waits for an opportunity and the northwest is in chaos, he can march straight in and kill Longdu.
The dragon city is in chaos, and the world is in chaos.
Although this process will be long, the chance of success is very high.
At least, it seems that the situation is very clear so far.
With the soldiers and horses in the hands of the northwest noble families, if they control the northwest border guard army again, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
"Okay, let's stop here for today."
Liu Xia waved his hand and said slightly tiredly.
"I'll take my leave."
Immediately, Zhetian and others retreated one after another.
In the study room, it suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, Liu Xia already had a plan in mind.
Now, the only people he can use are more than 5,000 people from the Sun family and Wenshuitang.
Moreover, the guards at Wenshuitang are the most devout believers in the city.
Basically, he has no control over the holy religion in the northwest.
If you want to destroy them, the first step is to hold all the power in the hands of the three hall masters.
The first thing to do is to find a way to divide them and defeat them one by one.
Now that he knew the distribution of the holy religion in the northwest, Liu Xia had enough initiative, so he was confident.
"Your Highness, several of your friends were sent here by the Master of Hunyu Hall."
Outside the door, Zhou Ruishan clasped his fists and said.
Liu Xia was stunned, naturally it was Yao Wenxin and the others.
He immediately smiled and said, "Where are they?"
"They are waiting in the side hall at the moment."
Zhou Ruishan reported back.
At this moment, Liu Xia was worried that there was no one available. Once they came, they would become even more powerful.
Immediately, he pushed the door open and headed towards the side hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yao Wenxin, Caiwei, Taoist Master Yixin and Situ Qingcang.
After seeing each other for several months, I naturally miss you very much.
"Brother!"
When Caiwei saw Liu Xia, she stood up excitedly. This girl, whom she hadn't seen for a few months, seemed plumper than before.
"Haha, I miss you so much."
Liu Xia entered the hall and laughed.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, when we heard your news, we hurried over."
Yi Xin said with his fists clasped.
"Senior brother, why are you so polite? I just arrived yesterday, and I wanted to ask someone to look for you, but you ended up here on your own."
Liu Xia laughed and replied.
Yao Wenxin was still dressed in white, sitting there quietly, sipping the fragrant tea.
After not seeing each other for several months, Yao Wenxin has not changed much and is still as charming and charming as before.
A pair of beautiful eyes, looking forward to the flight of God.
"Asking Xin, how are you?"
Liu Xia walked to Yao Wenxin and smiled slightly.
"As always, you seem to be a little darker."
Yao Wenxin said calmly.
"The sun in the desert can't be compared to the harsh sun here. I haven't seen you for a few months, but you seem to be getting more and more beautiful."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"Huh, you're still so glib."
Yao Wenxin rolled her eyes at Liu Xia, but a smile appeared on her face.
"Brother Situ, how are you doing lately?"
"It's good, but it's too leisurely. I eat, sleep, and eat every day. I'm so idle that I'm almost growing hair."
"The good days are over. I'm afraid I'll be very busy next time. Let's go to the study. This is not the place to talk."
Immediately, Liu Xia took them into the study.
The study is in a quiet bamboo forest, surrounded by ponds, making it very secluded.
Everyone entered the study and saw the huge sand table.
For a moment, everyone clucked their tongues. It is estimated that they did not expect that the power of the Holy Religion would expand so quickly.
"I have already met Dabao. I guess Zhao Yong already knows that I have come back. I am here and I can't get away for the time being."
After Liu Xia said this, he bent over his desk and wrote a letter.
Then he raised his head and said: "We need to establish a secret stronghold in Weiyang City as a place for me and Zhao Yong to communicate. Senior Brother Yixin, please go to Weiyang City and buy a house. It should be quiet and safe."
"good."
Yi Xin nodded.
As Liu Xia spoke, he took out a jade silver note and handed it to Yixin.
Immediately, Liu Xia packed the letter and gave it to Situ Qingcang and said: "Brother Situ, please send this letter to Zhao Yong's military camp."
"As commanded."
Situ Qingcang cupped his fists and smiled.
"Your Highness, the heads of several noble families are waiting in the hall."
At this time, Zhou Ruishan said outside the door.
"Ruishan, please settle them down first, and I'll go meet the family heads."
Liu Xia shouted.
"promise."
Immediately, Zhou Ruishan took Yao Wenxin and Caiwei to the guest room.
Liu Xia entered the flower hall and saw several familiar faces.
Among the ten major families in the northwest, six have taken refuge in the Holy Religion.
Among them, after the destruction of the Wang family, five were left.
Liu Xia knew that these aristocratic families had never been loyal at all, they just wanted to gain greater benefits between the Holy Religion and the imperial court.
When I saw them today, I was just going through the motions to confirm the list of families who would join the Holy Religion.
Time was running out, and Liu Xia didn't know when Liu Batian would take action, so everything had to be handled quickly.
After a busy day, Liu Xia had some free time in the evening. After the night was quiet, Liu Xia put on her night clothes and quietly slipped out alone.
Nowadays, Senior Brother Tianyuan's poison has not been eliminated, so we need to find opportunities to continue healing his wounds.
Dabao placed Tianyuan in a farm outside Weiyang City. It was Zhao Yong's property and was very safe.
Liu Xia easily found this place with the help of the mark left by Dabao.
After treating Tian Yuan's injuries, Liu Xia returned to the manor when the sky became slightly brighter.
Just after dawn, Liu Xia came in through the window, but Ouyang Hui was not in bed.
This made Liu Xia very curious.
I changed my clothes, opened the door, and strolled along the paths of the manor.
As I stepped on the cobblestone road under my feet, I was constructing a comprehensive plan in my head.
Before I knew it, I came to the edge of a lake.
Occasionally, I turned around and saw Ouyang Hui sitting cross-legged on a stone in the bamboo forest by the lake.
A green shirt, clean and neat.
With every breath she took, Liu Xia could feel that the spiritual power in the bamboo forest seemed to be fluctuating.
"What a powerful mind."
Liu Xia admired secretly in her heart.
"Brother, why are you here?"
At this time, Caiwei came jumping to Liu Xia's side, and the bright sunshine fell on her pretty face, which was extremely cute.
"Morning."
At this moment, Yao Wenxin smiled slightly.
Although both Caiwei and Yao Wenxin were disguised, their true appearance was concealed.
However, their eyes are all very beautiful.
"Who is that woman?"
Caiwei followed Liu Xia's gaze and asked curiously.
"What a pretty girl."
Yao Wenxin smiled slightly.
"Her name is Ouyang Hui, and she is a disciple of Tongtian Temple. She works undercover at the altar like me. In order to protect our identity, we got married."
"ah!!!"
Caiwei looked shocked and said with a playful smile: "It turns out to be my sister-in-law."
Yao Wenxin frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy.
"Don't talk nonsense. We have the name of marriage, but we don't have the reality of marriage. Disciples of Tongtian Temple get married by instinct."
Liu Xia explained.
At this time, Ouyang Hui heard a distant sound, stopped practicing, and opened his eyes.
Seeing Liu Xia standing with two pretty girls, I felt a little unhappy.
After getting up, he came over.
He walked to Liu Xia, took Liu Xia's arm and said, "Ms. sir, who are these two?"
"They are the Wenxin and Caiwei my eldest brother mentioned. We were talking about you just now."
Liu Xia chuckled.
Ouyang Hui glanced at Caiwei, then looked up at Yao Wenxin, feeling slightly reassured.
Caiwei and Yao Wenxin are both disguised, so they look ordinary in appearance.
"It turns out it's Sister Wenxin and Sister Caiwei. You guys got up really early."
Ouyang Hui smiled slightly and said with a hint of provocation in his tone.
"Sister, sister, I'm not familiar with you."
Yao Wenxin said coldly.
Caiwei looked at Yao Wenxin and Ouyang Hui curiously, and obviously felt the smell of gunpowder.
"Caiwei, let's go without saying anything."
Immediately, Yao Weixin turned around and left.
Caiwei made a face at Liu Xia and followed Yao Wenxin in a hurry.
"Hui'er, why are you practicing in the bamboo forest? The humidity here is heavy and the spiritual power is not very abundant."
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Liu Xia smiled sarcastically.
"Who is Hui'er? Don't be so close."
Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Liu Xia looked at the backs of the three of them and muttered: "Why are they all so early in the morning as if they had taken gunpowder? Their noses are not noses, and their eyes are not eyes."
I thought about it in my heart, and it turned out to be a woman's heart, like a needle in the sea.
Then he turned around and headed towards the study.
