The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 525 Letter from Hometown (Fourth Update)
After reading the memorandum, all the ministers congratulated!
The heads of the three major sects, Tianyi Sect, Weiwo Sect and Wangdao Sect, watched the entire ceremony. Seeing that everything went smoothly, the three heads looked at each other with a satisfied smile.

The three masters joined forces to accomplish this major event that changed the pattern of the world, and they were somewhat proud of it.

In the past, although they were able to influence the politics of various countries, most of them used their disciples to speak to the kings of various countries and exert pressure secretly.Many times the results do not fully satisfy them.Such a strong intervention in politics, directly forcing the two major powers to surrender, has never happened before.

In the past, when the Tianyi Sect intervened in the affairs of various countries, they would always encounter resistance from the Wangdao Sect or the Were Sect, and many things had to be abandoned.The same goes for Wang Daozong and Weiwo Sect who want to intervene in the court to do something.Now that the three sects join forces, there will be no disadvantage.This was a shocking discovery for the three leaders.For the first time, they discovered that they actually had the power to change the world.

When Zhao Guojun and his ministers heard the news, everyone was terrified.

Emperor Zhao was extremely depressed when he saw the memorial.He said in his heart: How could I be so cruel and unkind?How much better are you than me?I just can't understand why Wei and Qin suddenly surrendered to Shang?There was no news at all beforehand.It’s so weird!
The most heinous thing is that the disciples of Tianyi Sect, Weiwo Sect and Wang Daozong all betrayed. Not only did they not help resist the enemy army, but instead helped the enemy army lead the way, and even opened the city gate to let the enemy army in.

Emperor Zhao is now urgently asking for help from other countries and other major sects.

It’s just that the result is not very understandable. The Onmyo Sect did not respond. The Gongde Sect said that they only do good deeds and do not participate in dynastic wars. The Zen monks do not care about who wins or loses in the dynasty. They only care about practicing Zen.Among these large sects, only some disciples are willing to help because of personal relationships.The major demon sect is nowhere to be found.

Some people from small and medium sects are actively willing to help.They are either out of patriotism, or they want to replace those big sects in Zhao State.

Zhao Huang longed for someone to come to help, as long as someone came, he would be generously appointed as an official and rewarded.

When Zhao Huang was not aware of it, many demon disciples sneaked into Zhao Guo's court and army.

The demon disciples of Shang, Qin, Wei and Zhao Siguo are also helpless.Almost all practitioners in the Shang Kingdom are now in the army. When a single practitioner appears in front of people, many people will always look sideways, and soon, the government will come to arrest them as deserters.In the countries of Shang, Qin, and Wei, it is almost impossible to hide.

If they fled to Zhao State, the merchant army passed by, and the practitioners would die if they did not surrender.If you surrender, you will be incorporated into the battalion of dead soldiers, and you will charge desperately as soon as the battle starts.Who wants to do it?A lone ranger or a group of dozens of people can't do it. Facing the army of the Shang Dynasty, let alone dozens of people, hundreds of people can't resist.The demon disciples found that unless they fled to further countries and stayed in Zhao, it was safer to join the army.

In the evening of that day, Emperor Shang held a banquet in the palace to entertain the princes who came to pay homage.

Emperor Shang brought one empress and four concubines to attend. Under the instruction of Emperor Shang, the original princes of Shang State had a warm and friendly chat and drink with the new princes.

The atmosphere was lively and peaceful.

Feeling the kindness from Emperor Shang, the new princes gradually felt at ease, thinking that Emperor Shang would not kill dissidents, at least he would not kill others openly.Only a few people, such as King Qin, remained vigilant.

In fact, Emperor Shang really didn't plan to kill the princes in the short term, he still wanted to conquer the world, and he still had to rely on these princes to send troops.

During the banquet, Ding Nanbo took the opportunity to meet Wei Lihua, the female official in the palace, and asked him to send a batch of jewelry and a letter to Mrs. Ming.

Wei Lihua is a show girl who has been in the palace for ten years. She is timid and dare not compete for favor, but she has become the best show girl that Ding Nanbo sent to the palace so far.She is mainly in charge of the emperor's hat.Other show girls who dared to fight for favor all died for various reasons.

Wei Dianguan took the storage bag and hurried to Tingheyuan to see Mrs. Ming.

Ye Xueying heard that Wei Dianguan asked for an interview and claimed to have brought news of his hometown, so she got a divination in her sleeve and figured out that it was someone sent by Ding Nanbo.Ye Xueying met her in the study.

Wei Dianguan is a beautiful woman about 30 years old, with a tall figure.She looked at the maids around Ye Xueying.

Ye Xueying understood and ordered Xu Juan and Xiao Chunyu to stay away.Xiao Chunyu closed the study door in confusion and stood outside waiting.

Xiao Chunyu didn't understand, what did a Dianguan come to see Zhao Yexueying for?Also make it so mysterious.

Wei Dianguan walked up to Zhao Ye Xueying and said in a low voice: "Uncle Dingnan was extremely happy to hear that Mrs. Ming was promoted. He specially ordered me to send a congratulatory gift and a letter."

Ye Xueying knew the purpose of her visit, and said with a light smile, "Thank you for making this trip."

Wei Dianguan had long known that Ye Xueying, like himself, was a person sent to Dingnan Bo Mansion.Looking at Ye Xueying, who is your wife, she secretly admired her.In the past ten years, thousands of beautiful women have entered the palace, all of them ambitious to use their beauty to charm the Shang Emperor and climb up the ranks.Every time, more than 20 or [-] people successfully climbed into Emperor Shang's bed and gained his favor.Just when they were complacent and thought they were unique, they soon fell down one after another and died at the hands of others.Or he was rejected by the Shang Emperor and relegated to the cold palace, and died miserably soon.

Those beauties are good at winning each other and have outstanding talents.Most of them stop at the level of beauty. The shortest is less than half a year, the longest is no more than two or three years, and they leave the palace wrapped in a straw mat.There is not even a decent coffin after death, and no one goes to pay homage. This is the worst fate for a beauty.

Among the three show girls that Wei Dianguan had met, Ye Xueying was the one with the highest title and the fastest rise.

Ye Xueying took the storage bag, put it in her sleeve, and opened the letter to read.

There were two letters in the envelope, one was written by Ding Nanbo, to the effect that he hoped to carry out the previous agreement.When Dingnanbo was in trouble, Ye Xueying interceded with Emperor Shang for him.Ding Nanbo is willing to inform Ye Xueying about the court affairs, be her eyes and ears outside, and provide needed property and manpower from time to time.

The other letter was written by Zhao Shuqi, which roughly explained his current situation.He moved to Nanyang, settled for a big house and a manor in Nanbo Mansion, and sent him to study in Nanyang Academy.He worshiped a famous teacher in the academy.In the end, he wrote that he missed his sister and hoped that her sister was safe in the palace.

The contents of the two letters did not meet Ye Xueying's expectations, she smiled and said to Wei Dianguan: "You tell Uncle Ding that everything will continue as usual."

Wei Dianguan nodded, and she hurriedly said goodbye and left.She wanted to take advantage of the banquet to give Uncle Nan a reply.

When Xu Juan saw the person leaving, she came in and asked with a smile, "What is she doing here?"

Ye Xueying glanced at Xu Juan, and said with a smile, "She brought me a letter from my brother."

Xu Juan wondered, "You still have a younger brother?"

Ye Xueying said: "Why can't I have a younger brother?"

Xu Juan quickly shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant, how old is your brother?"
