"When the Blood Shadow Evil Cultivator and other thugs caused the Heihefang tragedy, it happened that the Jindans of the Qifu Alliance were attacking Shandu Mountain on the pretext of stealing babies from the Wei family. This move caused the Blood Shadow Evil Cultivator and others to easily pass through the Qifu Alliance territory, and south "Escape into the depths of the Baishan Mountain." "And this also gave Qiyun Guanghui Pavilion Yuanying late monk Gao Guangsheng another perfect excuse. He forced Kuai Tong and other weapon symbols in the name of being suspected of indulging the evil cultivators of Blood Shadow. Alliance Jindan joined the team to hunt down the evil cultivators of Blood Shadow, and stayed deep in the Baishan Mountain for a long time, and was not allowed to return to Qifu City. " "As a result, the Wei family in Shandu, which is much weaker than Qifu Alliance, has the possibility of becoming its enemy. , only then did he dare to launch the first Tianyin Mountain War, then the second, and the third time" "The seven Tianyin Mountain Wars were of course due to the fact that Wei Xuan of the Wei family was a hero of the generation and was very good at maneuvering, from another perspective. Analysis, it must be because Gao Guangsheng secretly favored the Wei family. Gao Guangsheng cleverly used the personal control of the Jindan in Qifu City to keep the struggle between the Qifu Alliance and the Wei family at a balance between victory and defeat. It was not until the seventh final battle at Tianyin Mountain that Gao Guangsheng released Kuai Tong and others, and defeated the increasingly powerful Wei family" "The period during which the Qifu Alliance and the Wei family fought continuously was also based on the Guanghui Pavilion. The various chambers of commerce in Qiyun represented by Qi Fu Alliance took advantage of the increasingly severe survival situation of the Qi Fu Alliance to accelerate the penetration and expansion of Qi Fu City and even the entire Baishan Mountain" Unexpectedly, Gu Tan also supported the conditions developed by Gu Rong, Give up asking for Tool Talisman City, and ask for Bomu City of Lingmu Alliance. He spoke at length about ancient times and gave an example that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation, but Qi Xiu understood it instantly. ??According to Gu Tan's age, he should not have been born when the war between the Shandu Wei family and the Qifu Alliance started. He is familiar with these past events, but it is just because he has done very solid lessons in Chu and Qin history after coming to the sect. And Qi Xiu himself is an absolute witness. He stole the baby together with Chu Duo. The Jindans of the Qifu Alliance besieged Shandu Mountain to find out the culprit of the baby stealing, and he deliberately acted in front of them to trick him Old brother Zhan Yuan died because of the Heihe River. At the hands of the evil cultivator Xue Yingfang, the posthumous son Zhan Qiu finally wanted to avenge this, and died in the heavy land outside the Awakening Lion Valley. In ten years and seven battles at Tianyin Mountain, Qi Xiu never failed. Only before the last battle, Chu Shen forced Wei Xuan to escape, allowing himself and his disciples to escape unscathed. This incident was often considered by the people of Baishan for many years to be one of the reasons why the Wei family's morale dropped before the battle and thus they lost to the Qi Fu Alliance. Even Qi Xiu, two figures of the time, Gao Guangsheng and Kuai Tong, was taken with him throughout the whole process by Patriarch Chu Zhen because he was no longer considered talented. He was able to witness their defeat with his own eyes. Qi Yun penetrated and expanded Baishan, and Qi Xiu considered himself to be the vanguard. Nearly two hundred years ago, Gao Guangsheng needed to borrow some pretexts to suppress the Artifact Alliance, triggering a fierce fight between the Artifact Alliance and the Shandu Wei family. Two hundred years later, the Chu-Qin Alliance has occupied Shandu and the old land of the Luo family in the west, the Jiangnan Sect has occupied the territory of the original Lianshui Alliance in the east, Yuanying Jiang Huan is in charge of the Bihu Palace, and even Qifu City, the Qiyun Chu family and the Lu family , Lan Family, Jiang Family, plus Nanchu Clan and Chu Qin Clan, had a total of 50% of the shares before this war, and the current owner, Lihuo Alliance, only held 30% of the shares. The half-percent dividend accounted for by the Chu Qin Sect was already the largest single income of the sect every year, so before Qi Xiu went to the outer sea to fight, he specially sent Lu Man, who was married from the Lu family, to Qifu City, Qian Dingzhu Wan told her to help Menzhong keep a close eye on this business. That's why Gu Tan hurriedly followed Gu Tiesheng and Zhang Shengnan to Qifu City, fearing that the Chu Qinmen were there The interests there fell unexpectedly with the fall of Gu Rong. "Two thousand years of past are like smoke, and looking back are nothing but jokes" The past is like smoke, and familiar faces pass by Qi Xiu's eyes one after another. When Patriarch Chu Zhen killed Gao Guangsheng with a magic knife, he recited a chant. , the scene of his body changing and disappearing is just like yesterday. From the Gao family to the Chu family, and then to the Jiang family, Lu family, and Lan family, what has not changed is the general trend of Qi Yun's influence going south to Baishan. If Qi Xiu still can't see that this is the grand strategic direction of the Qi Yun faction, and no matter which family wins the internal fight, it will still be a chess piece serving this grand strategy, then his life of more than two hundred years will really be in vain. . "So you think it's better not to make any big changes to the current situation of Qifu City?" Knowing that his mind had changed, he withdrew from the memory and asked Gu Tan. "Yes, Sanchu and we control Qifu City, which seems to affect the balance of the overall layout of Qiyun's forces going south" The consultant replied: "Over the years, Gu Rong and Jiang, Lu, and Lan who have shares there have The relationship between the family is not bad. Although Lu Man married to us as a foreigner of the Lu family, he was a foundation-building monk who had a low status in the clan and had no hope of forming an elixir. However, he was accidentally attacked and killed by the monks of the Lihuo Alliance. The Lu family After all, it¡¯s a bit hard to live up to in terms of face, butThey only sent a relative from the Jindan clan to visit once, and the others showed no sign of sympathy for Li Huo at all. " "Um. " Qi Xiu nodded, "Gu Rong is a good person in this regard. I know him well. Maybe he has secretly apologized to the Lu family and made friends with him. This has only deepened the conflict of interests! " "Although Gu Rong has completely suppressed Lang Jigao's family, his position as alliance leader is far from stable in Lihuo. His biggest worry is that he has no foundation in Lihuo City where Lihuo Gate is located. Instead, Qifu City passes by him. After many years of operation as a city director, it has long become his real home base. After this defeat, there will only be many more people who hate him in Lihuo City than there are enemies in Qifu City. At least for now, he does not dare to abandon Qifu City rashly and withdraw there. This is his core interest demand. . If we insist on asking for Qifu City, I'm afraid we will force him to jump over the wall" Gu Tan added: "In addition, after Gao Guangsheng and other incidents, Qiyun's forces finally reached a balance between Qifu City and the northern part of Baishan, so we suddenly changed it , I'm afraid there will be hidden dangers. Taking Bomu City will not have this problem. Taking Bomu will mean that Qiyun's forces have another attack on the south of Baishan Mountain. Secondly, it will mean that our Sanchu, Chu, Qin and Lingmu will never stop fighting. Allies such as He Huanzong and Qingdan Sect can also be completely relieved. "But" Qi Xiu and Gu Tan had differences on this point. He had been planning on repeating the plot of three points in the Luo family's old land. This plan of Wu Daoben, the Chu and Qin mastermind, It has bought Chu and Qin a peaceful external environment and valuable time to practice their internal skills. Now that they are used, there are still many visible benefits. First, Chu Qin and Li Huo will form an alliance, so that Baishan will form Chu Qin and Li Huo; He Huan, Qingdan, Huanjian; and Lingmu, Houtu, Ruijin, and Baishan sword sects coexist. In this way, everyone's game situation will be more complicated and they will be more wary of each other. Instead, they may be divided into two camps to fight to the death. Be more peaceful. Secondly, after Gu Rong launched the backstab, Li Huo naturally swallowed up a total of 25% of the Qi Yun Chu family, Nan Chu Clan and Chu Qin Clan's shares in Qifu City. This time, he took advantage of the situation. It is a good situation to negotiate a peace with Gu Rong and get back the lost shares of Qifu City with interest. Qifu City, which occupies the traffic artery of Qiyun Baishan, is worth more than anything else except the spiritual land level. Third, Gu Rong took advantage of the sect's failure to consolidate his personal power. This leader, who was more reactionary internally, got rid of the relationship with Lingmu, Houtu, Ruijin, and Baishan Sword Sect. After the alliance, they can only rely on the external Sanchu and Chu Qin. As long as he is forced to go to that point, Qi Xiu will be confident that he can control him and even take control of Bomu City to continue with Lingmu. The future is unpredictable if the alliance continues to die. Even though He Huan and Qing Dan are happy to see it, how should Chai Guan and Chai Ping, the two Yuanyings of the Lingmu Alliance who are still alive, deal with the Sanchu Yuanying on their side in a short time? But there is no hope Gu Tan seemed to have guessed what he was hesitating about, and advised: "Brother, no matter how the Lingmu Alliance and other old enemies react, I, Chu Qin, have been fighting with them for so many years. Shandu Before and after the war, no matter whether the Nascent Soul Dharma Appearances came or they sent 20,000 troops to fight, they had all their trump cards. How many kilograms and taels they had were completely seen by us. We won the battle in Shandu. In fact, it was really Don't worry too much about anything anymore. But He Huan and Qingdan are different, especially He Huanzong. Although they have been allies with me, Chu Qin, for so many years, how much do we know about them? For example, if the two Nascent Souls of the He Huan Sect, the Nascent Soul of the Huanjian Sect, and Han Tianqing were the ones who ambushed Chu Shentong and Chu Wen Patriarch, how sure would we be about victory or defeat? " After he said this, Qi Xiu was mostly convinced. Yes, Lingmu Alliance has been an old enemy for many years. He knows the basics and has never lost before. What should he be afraid of in the future? And if it is calculated based on his previous experience, Even if Ling Baishan loses three points, the Lingmu Alliance will not become friends, and the relationship with He Huanzong will be further distanced. The future will be even more unpredictable. Why gamble? In addition, after taking the Qi Fu City, Lu, Lan, and The perception and reaction of the Jiang family and other Qiyun forces is indeed a big problem "Let me think about it again. " No matter what you plan to do, Hai Chu's army has arrived. If you don't use force first and give it a final try, San Chu and Chu Qin will never agree to negotiate peace. Qi Xiu suddenly smiled and looked outside the tent door, " It's not time to make a decision yet, so don't be busy yet. Do you see? Who is here" Gu Tan followed Qi Xiu's gaze and saw a stunning female cultivator wearing Chu Qin red robe quietly standing outside the door, looking at him with deep concern and love in her beautiful eyes. Of course Mingzhen is here. ¡°You are back. "She asked softly. "Yeah. "Thousands of words, Gu Tan didn't know where to start for a moment. He choked up with emotion and responded, then he went over and held Ming Ming's hand.Real hand, "I heard from the head brotherhow many months have it been?" He looked at his beloved wife's slightly swollen belly under her wide robe. This scene made Qi Xiu smile slightly. He flew out of the big tent in a flash and said to the other couple, Qin Changfeng and Nangong Yanran, who were also reunited outside: "You four have an old relationship with Miao Qing. First of all, After Gu Tanming really talks privately, he will leave immediately and go to Nanchu City to lobby on my behalf." "Yes." Qin Changfeng and Nangong Yanran bowed respectfully and agreed in unison.
