The two of them walked in the silent valley and chatted very leisurely.
The ancient nights were extremely cold. Although the two were martial arts masters, the gusts of mountain wind still made Nalan Suxin shrink back. Seeing this, Li Haoran naturally hugged the soft and boneless body.
Nalan Su smiled sweetly. She enjoyed the feeling of being loved. Her beautiful face bloomed like a hundred flowers under the moonlight, and she said softly: "Li Lang, thank you."
"Why are you so polite?" Li Haoran looked at those eyes full of deep affection and scolded: "You and I are one husband and wife, connected heart to heart. Su Xin's words are too outspoken."
Nalan Suxin glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and saw that his face was as heavy as water. Her heart skipped a beat and she said anxiously with a little fear: "Li Lang, your Suxin has not shown up. I want to thank you for being so kind to me. Li Lang, please don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡±
Li Haoran saw that she was like a frightened deer, so charming and charming that people felt pity for her. He kissed Qingliang's delicate dimple and couldn't help but laugh: "Fool, how could I be angry with you? I'm kidding!"
Nalan Su breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled into his arms, but she was so in love and cared so much that she couldn't help but tremble and soften, grabbed his arm and said: "Li Lang, don't don't follow me. Telling such jokes, III'm scared."
During the day, she killed the man in black, like a Rakshasa coming to the world, without even blinking, but at this time, there was a lot of fear in her voice. Li Haoran was so moved that he slapped his head with his left hand and said guiltily: "Su Xin, I promise I will never do this again."
Nalan Su smiled heartily and murmured: "Li Lang, I am really touched that you treat me like this. I like my life very much now, and I cherish the days when my family is happy. Li Lang, I know you are afraid I was sad, so I never asked about Mingjiao, but that is my past, and what I care about is my current life. Moreover, I have also looked away from the children. As you said, our fate is not good enough. That's it. I'm no longer the Bixiao Dragon King, I'm just a little woman who wants to be your wife in peace and contentment. If you have any questions, just ask Li Lang."
"Su Xin, what is the name of the leader of the Ming Cult, and what is his son's name?" In order to reduce Nalan Su Xin's pain of losing his son, Li Haoran had never asked Nalan Su Xin about the Ming Cult, but now he He couldn't help but not ask, because only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.
Nalan Su shuddered slightly and sighed quietly: "Mingjiao is a branch of Manichaeism in Persia. It entered the Central Plains from Uighur during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This religion believes in Mingzun, fire is a sacred existence, and it carries the banner of saving all sentient beings. , very popular among the people. During the Tianbao period, Mingjiao coexisted with Taoism and Buddhism in the world, and Mingjiao followers traveled almost all over the Central Plains. However, in the Song Dynasty, because Mingjiao was dissatisfied with the imperial policy, it raised troops many times. After the defeat, the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas Unable to gain a foothold, we had no choice but to go north and move the main altar to the top of the Great Light in Kunlun Mountain"
It turns out that Mingjiao branches are all over the world. Not counting the outer disciples, there are more than 300,000 recorded disciples. Excluding young and old, there are no less than 100,000 adult disciples. Its fighting power is unmatched by any country. It is so strong. The power of the Mingjiao has given birth to the ambitions of the top management of the Mingjiao. The Mingjiao in front of them is no longer a patriotic Mingjiao that loves the people. It has been reduced to an anti-imperial force running around for power.
The current leader is Yang Ling. He is as handsome as the wind and has outstanding martial arts. He has ascended to the throne of the leader with iron-blooded skills. Under his leadership, the fragmented Ming Cult has shown unprecedented unity and confidence. Under his single-handed operation Next, Mingjiao established four Dharma kings, two envoys of light, five scattered people, five elements and flags, and eight divisions of heaven and dragon.
The Four Dharma Kings are Bixiao Dragon King, Xiaoaohu King, Ice Phoenix, and Xuanwu War King. These four people represent the four major forces in the religion and are deeply feared by Yang Ling.
Among the four, Xiao Aohu King and Xuanwu War King completely surrendered to Yang Ling and won Yang Ling's trust. With Yang Ling's tacit approval, their status seemed to be superior to that of Bixiao Dragon King and Ice Phoenix.
Bixiao Dragon King and Ice Phoenix are both known as the "Twin Jade of Ice and Snow". They are the holy snow lotuses in the religion. They are as beautiful as gods, as pure as ice and jade, and their martial arts skills are astonishing. Moreover, they love each other like sisters. They formed an alliance in the sect, advanced and retreated together, and had the same thoughts. They had always been regarded as a thorn in Yang Ling's side and wanted to be removed immediately. After Nalan Suxin's power was eliminated this time, the next one might be the Ice Phoenix. .
"The Second Envoy of Light and the Five Sanren are heroes with outstanding martial arts skills and both intelligence and intelligence. However, they live alone, have weird personalities, and have no direct subordinates, so their lives are uneventful."
The Five Elements Banner and the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons are forces directly under Yang Ling. The combined strength of the thirteen forces totals almost more than 100,000. The Five Elements Banner Master and the Eight Heavenly Dragon Generals are Yang Ling's confidants, and their disciples directly obey him. These thirteen people have great prestige in the sect.
Yang Lingsheng had two sons, one was Ao Jue and the other was Ao Ran., Yang Aojue has a cheerful temperament, and his way of making friends is that as long as you agree with him, he will become your brother. Therefore, his kind of people-friendly behavior is deeply loved by the lower-level church members.
Yang Aoran inherited Yang Ling's character. He was ruthless, ambitious, and lustful. He was a character who would never look back until he achieved his goals. Yang Ling entrusted many important matters in the church to his hands. Yang Ling's direct lineage was due to He came to take charge, and in recent years he has become the second-largest figure in the Ming Cult. It was this person that Dugu Meng'er met this time.
¡¡
After Nalan Suxin¡¯s eloquent talk, Li Haoran finally understood some things about Mingjiao, and was shocked by its huge power.
Until Nalan Suxin finished speaking, Li Haoran was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said: "With the strength of power and the consolidation of power, I am afraid that it will also be accompanied by the growth of Yang Ling's ambition. Only in the Mingjiao, he has already tried Once he has the pleasure of having the power of life and death in one hand, once he has integrated the internal disputes, then his heart will probably be the whole world."
"This is the reason why people are so weak that snakes swallow elephants. It was because I opposed him leading those brothers into innocent killings that I encountered this kind of exclusion and frame-up. Being pregnant was just an excuse for him. Besides, Well, there is no rule in Mingjiao that prohibits people from getting married. Everything is just a matter of exorbitant rights." Although it had been a long time, Nalan Su still felt sad and angry when she thought of the child in her belly. Fill in the blanks.
Li Haoran lowered his head in thought, and naturally did not notice the change in Nalan Suxin's expression.
He was thinking about the Condor Heroes in martial arts novels and the current world. The gap between the two was getting more and more beyond his understanding, which made him feel a little uneasy. Thinking back on the road he had traveled in this life, An idea flashed in his mind, and then he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and suddenly asked: "Su Xin, according to what you said, I feel that this Yang Ling is not like what he is now. There should be something in his hand that others don't know about. Secrets and power. At the martial arts conference in Xiangyang that year, Yang Aojue mixed with the Murong family and the Mongols. He represented the Mongols and came to fight against the Central Plains martial arts. Since I didn't know his origin, I never thought about it seriously, but Listening to what you said, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the three forces of the Mingjiao, Mongolian, and Murong families have reached some kind of consensus. Do they intend to follow the example of the three families in dividing the promotion?"
"This, this is not impossible, but Mongolia has taken over the world. What reason does Brother Meng have to give away the fat in his mouth to others?" Nalan Su thought about it, but still felt that his idea was a bit whimsical. .
The Mongolian army returned victoriously from the west, intending to take advantage of the majestic momentum of victory to capture the peaceful Southern Song Dynasty. In her opinion, as long as the Mongolian army crossed the Yangtze River, the Southern Song Dynasty would no longer have the possibility of a decisive victory.
"The cavalry warfare that the Mongols are best at is not necessarily suitable for the terrain under the Southern Song Dynasty. The terrain in the south is complicated, either with water networks all over, or roads that have not been opened, or inaccessible. The terrain of Bashu is even more complex and changeable, and the undulating mountains are easy to defend. It is difficult to attack. The natural environment is very favorable to the defenders. If the Mongols encounter a general who insists on resisting in Bashu, they can successfully stop the progress of the Mongolian army as long as they use the favorable conditions of being familiar with the terrain. Since ancient times, there have been ships south to the north. According to Ma, if Mongolia does not command properly and is eager for quick success, it is inevitable that the outcome of the Battle of Chibi among the Three Kingdoms will not happen again. Meng Ge is the most outstanding military strategist of the Mongols since Genghis Khan. He will not fail to see this. In order to avoid major disasters, Casualties. Therefore, it seems that it has become an inevitable choice to disintegrate the Southern Song Dynasty's combat effectiveness from within, so the alliance is a matter of course. Of course, the alliance is only temporary. Once they jointly destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, then, due to the disputes of interests, the three A war will definitely break out between them, and no one wants to see other forces under their noses. Furthermore, apart from Meng Ge, there are many Mongolians who are ambitious. Maybe it is a descendant of a certain royal family in Mongolia who wants to fight for It's possible that the Great Khan has secretly formed an alliance with the Ming Cult and the Murong family."
Li Haoran did not hold a positive attitude towards Mongolia's southern expedition. The Mongols were invincible on the plains, but their water warfare capabilities were not to be admired. Otherwise, Kublai Khan in history would not have conquered Japan twice, only to end miserably. Moreover, the terrain in southwest China is complex and the climate is changeable. Historically, Meng Ge was found in southwest China.
Nalan Su thought about it carefully, nodded lightly, and already agreed with Li Haoran's point of view. However, these things have gone far away from their original intention, and it is not what they care about. What they care about is the actions of the Mingjiao and the Murong family.
Not to mention that they have a son-killing feud with Yang Ling; even the Murong family's ambition to dominate the martial arts world also threatens their normal life. Once the Murong family discovers that the person who detonated Murong Villa is Li Haoran, then the future of Li Haoran's family will definitely be difficult. , so, for the futureTo settle down, they must make a complete settlement with the two major forces in the martial arts world.
