Chapter 1186: Chapter 744 News
If the story recorded in the Cangyuan Chronicles is a segnt of history that never occurred, then many of the events that were glossed over or baffled people in the previous life have now transford into massive changes that determined the life and death of countless people in this life.
However, at this point, the position and information Xu Yuan can access have already unraveled the threads hidden beneath the surface of history.
The collapse of the Pri Minister’s Mansion in the Cangyuan Chronicles is not abrupt at all. The seeds of disaster were sown far earlier on. The dam of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant hole. The rapid expansion over decades, the failure at the Northern Frontier, Li Yaoxuan’s demise, and the Imperial Chancellor’s rupture all accelerated the rate at which this root of disaster deteriorated.
The Pri Minister’s Mansion in the Cangyuan Chronicles was forcing the Dayan Dynasty, riddled with external and internal troubles, to ignite a war.
Therefore, failure was also a destined matter.
Xu Yuan often wonders if his father knew about these things in that tiline and whether he knew this was a destined-to-fail campaign?
He must have known.
But how could one give up a path they had trodden for their entire life?
In the end, the will is hard to reconcile…..
Thus,
even knowing he would beco a blade in the hands of those hidden in the shadows,
even knowing he wouldn’t see the dawn of victory,
this Chancellor of the Dayan also chose to press forward unwaveringly towards the world he desired…
The current situation faced by the Pri Minister’s Mansion is far better than the internal and external troubles depicted in the Cangyuan Chronicles, but regarding the Sword Sect matter, it has still not escaped the fate of becoming a blade for the Hidden Sects.
Xu Xinyao fidgeted nervously with her clothing.
Being in the Pri Minister’s Mansion, within the legitimate lineage of the Xu Family, since childhood, except for this third brother in front of her, all other elders seed all-powerful in her eyes, especially that unsmiling father.
Therefore,
she found it hard to believe the saying that her father was being sched against.
Could that father also beco a knife in other people’s hands?
Xu Yuan saw what was in the girl’s mind.
Because his first reaction after understanding this was the sa.
Their father should be invincible in the world, with no match, capable of resolving any issue.
But….
“Xinyao, father is also human, and being human ans there are things he cannot resolve.”
“But if only one of the Sword Sect and Jiatiange could survive, why move against the Sword Sect?”
Xu Xinyao hesitated, suggesting, Jiang He is never tight-lipped with her, so with a few words at their etings, her master spilled it all: “Wouldn’t it be better to let the Sect Alliance fight internally?”
“Because the first sword drawn by the blade of our Pri Minister’s Mansion must strike the Sword Sect.”
Xu Yuan did not hide this from his fourth sister, casually tossing a few secret letters from the Suru Ring, gesturing for her to take a look.
Though this girl had a history of betrayal in the Cangyuan Chronicles, she had been adequately educated by now.
Xu Xinyao hesitated as she leafed through the secret letters, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with disbelief:
“There’s already been a commander killed by the sects?”
Xu Yuan replied with a faint smile, his tone flat and indifferent:
“Misgovernance, chaos in orders, diocre officials falsely delivering the Holy Edict, they’re just short of shouting the phrase to ‘clear the court of unworthy ministers’.”
The Sect Alliance would never sit idly by regarding the Flat Tax Immortal Technique.
As soon as this policy was issued to the local commanderies, news imdiately ca back of a head being slain by a sect.
This was within expectations.
But….
“This happened half a month ago. I haven’t known the details since leaving the Ink Hiding Pavilion these days, but I imagine this kind of event has already begun to spread locally, and it won’t be long before the sects resort to forcefully controlling the local governnt office.”
“Then… are we just going to sit and do nothing?” Xu Xinyao was a bit incredulous.
“How would we manage?”
Xu Yuan questioned, sighing: “The sects are scattered like stars in every corner of Dayan. Although I do not understand warfare, I know that under such circumstances, we cannot divide our forces and proceed in isolation. Concentrating forces to destroy a few small sects will not have a deterrent effect but rather arouse the sects’ sense of crisis and accelerate the centralization of the Sect Alliance’s power.
“Xinyao, what do you think will happen then?”
“….” Xu Xinyao remained silent.
Xu Yuan seriously said:
“They will gather a massive battle formation centered on the Sword Sect in Hongnong, dividing Dayan into north and south. The Imperial Court’s and the Sect Alliance’s forces will intertwine, and by then, our court’s real control area in the south will be isolated and helpless, just like our old ho, Jingjiang Prefecture, which would suffer attacks from at least three major sect alliances surrounding it.”
“So even knowing this is an overt plot set by Jiatiange and the Hidden Sects for us, we must destroy the Sword Sect, the leader of the Sect Alliance in the world, both to deter all factions and to gain strategic initiative!”
Xu Xinyao sat quietly for a mont, then said in a low voice:
“Then… what about your promise to Sister Qingmo, third brother?”
Xu Yuan opened his mouth:
“Where did you hear that?”
Xu Xinyao lowered her eyelids, softly saying:
“When you weren’t around before, I asked Sister Qingmo how you two t, and she told herself.”
“….”
Thinking of the Big Ice Lump, Xu Yuan felt a headache, then thinking of the Little Ice Lump, his headache worsened. Just as he was about to avoid the topic, a calm voice ca from outside the door:
“Changtian, co out for a mont.”
“Father is looking for .”
Having said that, Xu Yuan temporarily pushed aside these vexing thoughts, leaving behind the emotionally complex Little Four, and quickly walked out of the private room.
The outdoor sunlight was just right, the morning sun casting multicolored light across the world.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard,
Xu Yinhè glanced at the private room, then asked Xu Yuan, who ca close,
“What did Xinyao want with you?”
He had never eavesdropped on his offspring’s conversations.
Xu Yuan sighed softly and said,
“About the gift you sent to the Sword Sect.”
“Is that so?”
“Father, what do you want to talk to about?” Xu Yuan straightforwardly asked.
Xu Yinhè slightly raised his hand, indicating to walk and talk, without imdiately responding, instead asking,
“How is the cultivation of the Black Scale Formation Technique going?”
Xu Yuan honestly replied,
“Formation Skills are different from Qi Gong, encountering so difficulties. I estimate I can control the resonance of Origin Qi for about five hundred people at most.”
Xu Yinhè, not anxious about this rather slow cultivation progress, stepped towards the study room, calmly saying,
“There’s no need to rush Formation Skills. You have the experience of mastering Qi Gong, and once you get started, progress will be rapid.”
“Yes.”
Xu Yuan replied, but his heart harbored doubts.
In these turbulent tis, his father, carving out ti, shouldn’t just be seeking him out for cultivation issues.
While contemplating,
Xu Yinhè seed to ponder over his words, softly asking,
“Did Xinyao only tell you about the gift I sent to the Sword Sect?”
What does this an?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a foreboding sensation rising in his heart:
“Yes, anything else aside from that?”
Xu Yinhè stopped walking slowly, took a deep breath,
turned back,
looking at the sowhat uneasy third son before him,
solemnly said:
“Changtian, Ran Jianli has been ambushed.”
