Chapter 168

So he was thinking about whether there were any problems with his various deployments before, and where they needed to be modified.

Luo Xian had no trace of joy from surviving a disaster.

In her view, everything she said was the truth.

Because people who have taken the loyalty elixir will keep every word Ying Ziyu says in their hearts.

The things they say are also things that they think have truly happened.

……

Northern Song, Bianliang.

"Official Huang, is there anyone in my Northern Song who can make the list for this sect ranking?"

Zhao Ji suddenly became interested.

He was also on a whim, so he thought about understanding it.

"The Wu Lin forces of my Northern Song are very prosperous, but the sects that truly count, I am afraid, are only the Shaolin Temple and the Xiaoyao Sect."

"The rest are some organization forces with complex compositions like the Beggar Sect."

"Then there are some family learning forces with origins."

Huang Shang said.

When he was speaking, he was thinking about the big things that had happened in the Northern Song Wu Lin recently.

Beggar Sect Leader Qiao Feng is a Khitan, and the Shaolin Temple is taking the lead, leading the Northern Song Wu Lin people to Tianning Temple to save the people of the Beggar Sect.

Huang Shang felt that this matter was very strange no matter how he thought about it.

How could it be such a coincidence that Qiao Feng's identity was exposed at such a time.

And then the people of the Beggar Sect were captured by the Four Great Evils and the people of the Western Xia First Grade Hall.

Huang Shang felt that this was not just targeting the Northern Song Wu Lin; it was very likely that the true purpose was the Northern Song's country.

It's just that he couldn't figure out who the person behind the action was.

Was it the Southern Song? Or the Great Yuan? Or perhaps Great Liao and Western Xia?

What kind of moves would they make next?

In order to find out the truth about this matter, Huang Shang hadn't rested for a long time.

Although for a Land Immortal, not eating, drinking, or resting was not a problem, but not resting while being in a state of thinking about problems for a long time would still make one feel tired.

When Song Huizong Zhao Ji heard about the Shaolin Temple, his brows furrowed, clearly very displeased.

He liked Daoism and did not like Buddhism.

Before, when the Ming Sect wanted to enter the Northern Song, Song Huizong had Huang Shang kill them all.

The reason why he didn't move against the Shaolin Temple was because the strength of the people hidden inside the Shaolin Temple was too formidable; relying on Huang Shang alone could not shake the Shaolin Temple.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji then let the matter drop.

However, now hearing that among the many sects of the dignified Northern Song, there was only one Xiaoyao Sect that could compare to the Shaolin Temple.

His heart was very unhappy.

"They are just a bunch of Wu Lin martial artists, they are simply useless¨．!"

Zhao Ji did not hide his disdain for Wu Lin martial artists at all.

Immediately after, he asked: "Official Huang, what kind of sect is this Xiaoyao Sect?"

"Why have I never heard of it?"

Being able to be ranked alongside the Shaolin Temple, presumably the Xiaoyao Sect was not bad either.

So Zhao Ji became curious about the Xiaoyao Sect.

Huang Shang also knew that Zhao Ji had never been interested in the Wu Lin and didn't have much understanding of it.

So, he opened his mouth and said: "The founder of the Xiaoyao Sect is named Xiaoyaozi, and this person's strength is not below this official's."

"He has three disciples, namely Tianshan Tonglao, Wu Wu Yazi, and Li Qiushui."

"Among them, the most formidable is the second disciple Wu Wu Yazi, whose strength is slightly weaker than this official's."

"The other two disciples are also in the Land Immortal realm, but they are only in the Land Immortal · Mortal realm."

"The Xiaoyao Sect is a sect that acts gracefully and is low-key."

"And because of this, very few people in the Wu Lin know about it."

"If this official hadn't accidentally met Xiaoyaozi, I wouldn't have understood this sect either."

Huang Shang only understood the situation of the Xiaoyao Sect to this extent.

He didn't know about deeper levels either.

It was really because the Xiaoyao Sect was too low-key, and there were very few people in this sect.

There were only four people in total, Xiaoyaozi and his disciples.

On weekdays, one simply couldn't come into contact with people from this sect.

"The people of this sect are indeed as their name suggests, carefree."

"Such pleasure is truly something I envy."

Song Huizong Zhao Ji said with great yearning.

It would be very strange for such words to come out of the mouth of any emperor.

But coming from Song Huizong Zhao Ji, it didn't make people feel any incongruity.

He was just such a literary person filled with romanticism in his bones.

However, from the perspective of an emperor, Song Huizong, who said such words, was simply not fit to be an emperor.

Huang Shang also shook his head helplessly.

Encountering an emperor like Song Huizong, Huang Shang could only spend more effort and energy.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was no longer asking, Huang Shang began to continue thinking about the things that had happened in the Northern Song Wu Lin.

Although he had already sent out experts from the Imperial City Department, Huang Shang still felt some rare unease in his heart.

This situation had appeared for the first time since he became a Land Immortal.

……

Great Sui, Luoyang.

Yuwen Tuo was not accompanying Yang Guang.

Ever since celebrating for the Left Xiaoqi Guard last time, Yang Guang had been getting dead drunk every day.

He didn't even attend court, handing over the handling of state affairs entirely to Yuwen Huaji, which was a very bad signal in Yuwen Tuo's view.

So, Yuwen Tuo came to find the Empress.

"Does the Empress think there are any sects in my Great Sui that can make the list?"

Yuwen Tuo asked with a smile.

Xiao Meiniang shook her head and said: "The powerful Wu Lin people of Great Sui are almost all cultivated by powerful families."

"The only one that can truly be presented is probably the Heavenly Blade Song Que of Lingnan."

"It's just a pity that he is also a powerful family, not a sect."

She knew the situation of Great Sui like the back of her hand.

The situation in Great Sui was similar to that in Great Han; the former was controlled by powerful families, and the latter was controlled by aristocratic families.

The only difference was that Great Sui also had an army with formidable combat power.

Great Han had truly rotted to the roots.

"Yes, the Great Sui today, I don't know if it's the Great Sui of the emperor, or the Great Sui of the powerful families."

"If the late emperor saw the Great Sui today with smoke and fire everywhere, I don't know if he would feel heartache."

Yuwen Tuo said very helplessly.

Xiao Meiniang smiled and didn't directly answer.

"Grand Tutor, please return, this palace is tired!"

Xiao Meiniang stood up and said.

Seeing this, Yuwen Tuo could only sigh helplessly.

When they were talking just now, he had already very obscurely told Xiao Meiniang his thoughts; he believed that with the other party's wisdom, she could definitely understand what was going on.

The reason why she didn't express her stance was nothing more than still having doubts about this matter.

Yuwen Tuo also understood very well.

He was the guardian god of Great Sui; now suddenly saying he wanted to depose Yang Guang, whoever heard such a thing would think Yuwen Tuo was joking.

Not getting the answer he wanted didn't mean Yuwen Tuo was going to give up.
