The Heavens: Beginning with the role of a young boy, Broken Waves

Chapter 73 The Final Confession and the Battle
From Yuanting to Zhengzheng 18th year (AD 1358), spring, March.

At this time, three full months had passed since the battle between Xie An and Zhang Wuji in Xiaohuangshan.

During these three months, because Zhang Wuji became a useless person, not only the entire martial arts world was turbulent, but also the entire world structure was constantly turbulent.

First of all, on the official level, with the continuous support of Zhao Min, the princess of King Ruyang, and the full support of his father, King Ruyang.

Yuan Ting quickly sent a large number of sailors and cavalry to carry out a large-scale sweep against Xie An's Feiyuntang forces.

At the same time, on the other hand, it is in the martial arts arena.

Following the accident of Zhang Wuji, the leader of Mingjiao, soon the entire Mingjiao and the six sects of the Central Plains also began to jointly encircle and suppress the Jianghu forces under Feiyuntang.

Among them, Mingjiao, Tianyingjiao, and Wudang, the three most closely related forces with Zhang Wuji, worked hardest.

Under such a general blow, Feiyuntang really suffered a lot in the past few days.

Whether it is in the territory or in many aspects such as the forces under his command, all losses are not low.

Just like this, many generals and warriors under Feiyuntang suffered until the end of January. It was not until Xie An finally came out after more than a month of seclusion that he finally ushered in a break.

With Xie An's terrifying power to break through the army alone, whether it is in the world hegemony or in the martial arts forces in the world, the difficulties facing Feiyuntang were directly resolved by Xie An's violence.

This one is only on the official side.

In more than a month, Xie An directly killed more than a dozen generals of Yuanting and more than [-] soldiers and horses among thousands of troops, and incidentally destroyed hundreds of ships of different sizes from Yuanting's army on the Yangtze River. A warship.

As for martial arts in Jianghu, Xie An is even more serious.

Relying on his superb martial arts skills, Xie An single-handedly entered the headquarters of the Tianying Sect, Huashan, and Mingjiao sects. More than half of it.

Yin Tianzheng, the white-browed eagle king, Yin Tianzheng, the leader of Tianying Sect, Xian Yutong, the head of Huashan, and Yang Xiao, the bright left envoy who was let go by Xie An last time on the small barren mountain of Mingjiao.

This group of well-known masters with names and surnames were all shot to death by him and sent to hell.

Under such circumstances, no matter whether it was the Yuan court officials or the Jianghu martial arts, all of them were killed by Xie An for a while, terrified and chilled.

The entire rivers, lakes, martial arts world and Yuanting world ushered in a very rare moment of peace.

Under such circumstances, Xie An's Feiyuntang forces were under his protection, and the speed of development of the overall forces had become extremely rapid in recent days, and no one dared to stop wherever the tentacles of the forces went.

Even the official roads outside the city of Yingtianfu, which had been double blocked by the Yuan Court and the Central Plains martial arts forces, have rarely been used by foreign businessmen during this period of time.

In recent days, it has gradually begun to regain some of its previous popularity.

From time to time, there will be some merchants transporting goods such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., and slowly drive into Yingtianfu City Gate in the form of pack horses or convoys.

After arriving at the gate of the city, after going through the tax collectors sent by Feiyuntang's subordinates, plus dozens of city guards, they searched one by one.

As long as there are no contraband such as weapons and private salt, these foreign goods can be sold in Yingtianfu City to make money with peace of mind.

Feiyuntang headquarters Yingtianfu's loose management method is obviously much careless compared to the surrounding beggar gang Chen Youliang, or the strict investigation and blockade in the territory of the warlord Zhang Shicheng and others.

And this is the current messy management situation inside Feiyuntang.

Even Feiyuntang's current power, in addition to covering many sections of the Yangtze River and the cities along the river.

At the same time, he also ruled the cities of Guangde, Xidong, and North Zhejiang that were previously defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the number of people under his management was as many as millions.

What's more, Feiyuntang's military generals are currently attacking the southern Anhui area southwest of Yingtianfu.

But these external things can't cover up the garbage of Feiyuntang's essence, and it can't cover up the fact that such a large Feiyuntang force is actually just the core of an ordinary Jianghu gang.

Even Yingtianfu City, which was ruled by Xie An, had the official imprint left by the rulers of the past dynasties in this ancient city.

With the prolongation of Xie An's reign here, the official taste in it gradually began to be diluted.

The city was slowly transformed by Xie An, and it gradually became more and more full of martial arts atmosphere.

At the same time, within Feiyuntang, with the continuous expansion of Feiyuntang's power over the past few months.

The two groups of Jianghu warriors and military generals in Feiyuntang also have differences in ideas, interests and many other aspects. Recently, the wrangling and fighting between the two parties has become more and more intense.

.........

Ying Tianfu "Lingering Garden".

The residence of Xie An, the master of Feiyun Hall.

Leaning on the red sandalwood armchair carved with dragons and phoenixes behind him, Xie An and Zhou Zhiruo sat opposite each other.

In the past, this time of day was the time Xie An specially set aside for Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts instruction.

But today, the situation is clearly different.

After calling Zhou Zhiruo to his study alone, Xie An just glanced at Zhou Zhiruo in front of him, and poured himself a cup of tea with a thoughtful face.

Amid the faint scent of tea, there was silence for a long time.

Xie An picked up the teacup in front of him with his eyes slightly closed, and gradually spoke:

"Zhiruo, what do you think of Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Whether it's about his character, contact feelings, or about his influence in our Feiyuntang, etc., if you have any opinions, you can just say what you think."

"Anyway, we're just chatting casually today, and I don't expect to get anything specific from you."

While speaking, Xie An's expression remained calm, but many emotions kept flickering in his eyes.

"Ok?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang? What's so strange about this man."

"In Feiyun Hall, although he is one of the seven high-ranking officials, he usually doesn't have much presence in the hall."

"By the way, Bu Jingyun, since the time I entered the study just now, the expression on your face has been as cold as a big ice cube. Could it be because of him?"

Hearing Xie An's words, Zhou Zhiruo casually picked up a snack on the table and stuffed it into her mouth lightly, frowning slightly as she spoke.

"It's related to him, but don't ask why."

"These things I told you today are very important, and you should think carefully now."

"If, I mean, if I let you be the head of Feiyun Hall today, then Zhiruo, do you have any plans to do anything about the current situation of Feiyun Hall?"

"After all, today's Feiyuntang, in addition to its influence covering many sections of the Yangtze River and many cities along the coast, also has jurisdiction over Guangde, Xidong, and North Zhejiang, and the number of people under its management is as many as several million. "

"Even now, Feiyuntang's military generals are still attacking the southern Anhui area in the southwest of Yingtianfu. Feiyuntang's strength data will continue to increase until it expands to the limit or is defeated and destroyed. .”

"In this way, in the face of such a huge force, if you completely follow the plan that Master Miejue Shitai used to manage the Emei disciples, it will definitely not work. Under such circumstances, I don't know Zhiruo. What are you going to do then?"

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's question, Xie An took a sip of the tea in his mouth, directly interrupted the questioning meaning in her words, and asked her again with a very serious expression.

Asked by Xie An's words, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help frowning, and with her right hand, she picked up a pastry in front of her and rubbed it several times, but she didn't have to bite it down.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Bu Jingyun, since you're asking that, I'll ask you a question."

"If I were to be the head of Feiyun Hall, if I found out that I couldn't control the situation in Feiyun Hall, could I just pass it on to someone else immediately?"

"Or when the time comes, I can be like you now, except for a few particularly important things, most of the other things are completely let go or left to my subordinates to do?"

"If these things are available, I think I should be willing to give it a try."

"And if these methods are not allowed, then I think I really don't have the ability to help you control such a large Feiyuntang influence and not let it go wrong."

"After all, today's Feiyuntang is no longer what it was when you just established this sect, it is purely an ordinary Jianghu sect."

"Today's Feiyuntang is like the Chen Han forces and the Great Zhou forces in the neighboring provinces. It already has the ability to compete for world hegemony."

"I don't want to control such a kind of power in the world, and I can't control it at all."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were evasive and she directly glanced at the long sword hanging from her waist without even looking at Xie An.

Following Zhou Zhiruo's gaze, Xie An's gaze squinted.

In the blink of an eye, Xie An could only see the word "Yitian" clearly engraved with gold and silver threads on the scabbard of the four-foot long sword around his waist.

"That's all, with your current thinking of going further and further away, if you manage a small Emei, it's okay, but it seems that there is no possibility to manage Nuo Da Feiyuntang."

"Just now, I was still seriously considering a question, and that is whether to pass on the position of Feiyun Hall's Hall Master to you directly."

"After all, although your current strength is not good enough."

"But with the two hundred and three Sunflower Dao soldiers I left for you and a large number of Brain God Pills to assist, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is entirely possible for you to firmly control what I left for you like an overlord. This is a huge Feiyun hall."

"Even if you are lucky enough and fast enough to practice at the same time, relying on Zhu Yuanzhang and others I have left for you, it is not impossible for you to fight against the Yuan Court in the end and rule across the river."

"But now, hearing your thoughts like this, I really don't have this hope in you."

"Since I taught you all the true meaning of Juejueshajian, you have become more and more like a pure martial idiot, hey!"

Speaking of this, Xie An couldn't help but suddenly sighed, and then continued to speak:
"However, as long as any force in this world exists, there will definitely be many internal rules that bind your hands and feet."

"Even if you are the one with the strongest force value and have the ability to overturn the table at any time, you will not be able to be a high-level manager after all if you rule by force alone."

"It's like the current Feiyun Hall, don't look at it on the surface, it seems to be more prosperous than fire."

"But in fact, because I have considered how to manage this gradually expanding force from the beginning, there are simply too many conflicts within it, and the conflicts are extremely fierce."

"For example, three of the seven high-level officials in our Feiyuntang, as top-notch fighters, are used to living a life of freedom."

"Compared with high-level military generals like Zhu Yuanzhang, they are completely different in thinking and behavior. If I hadn't suppressed them, the two groups of people would have already started fighting internally."

"Originally, I was thinking that after I ascended to leave this world after a while, I would try to see if I could hand over the complete power of Feiyuntang to you."

"However Zhiruo, if your ambition is not here, if I continue to hand over Feiyuntang to you under such circumstances, it will definitely be a disaster for the world and for you personally. It seems that my foundation After all, power must be rewarded to others.”

After finishing speaking, Xie An couldn't help sighing again.

In the more than a year after traveling to the world of Yitian, perhaps because of Juyi Qi and Yangyi body, or because he played Bu Jingyun for too long, Xie An didn't feel much in words or words. A condescending, unambiguous domineering.

Even Zhu Chongba, who is a hero in this other world, unconsciously assumes an overlooking attitude in his words.

At this moment, Xie An was not heartbroken when he thought that after his ascension, he would give such a powerful power of Feiyuntang to those subordinates for nothing, but emotionally, he felt a little pity for it.

"what?"

"What are you talking about? You want to ascend?"

"Could it be that in this world, there is really such a thing as ascension?"

"If these words hadn't come from you, Bu Jingyun, or anyone else had spoken like this with me, I'm afraid everyone would have thought that he was completely crazy."

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes suddenly shone like stars.

After hearing Xie An's soaring words casually, she spoke in an extremely hasty tone, and directly asked Xie An to express her doubts.

And hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Xie An's eyes slightly dodged.

Because to be honest, Xie An really didn't know about Zhou Zhiruo's question in his heart.

After all, every time he travels to another world after a mission, he always relies on the system rather than the so-called ascension.

Therefore, even Xie An has traveled through several worlds in a row, but he still doesn't know whether it is really possible to ascend in a world of low martial arts like Yitian Tulongji.

Even if there is, under the constraints of the world, unless Xie An opens up.

Otherwise, let alone an ordinary genius like Zhou Zhiruo, even a stunning talent like Zhang Sanfeng and Dugu Qiubai would die of helpless old age in the grave in the end.

Thinking of such a possibility, Xie An was unwilling to lie in front of Zhou Zhiruo.

So after pondering for a few seconds, he finally just explained to her in an ambiguous way:

"The reason why I was able to ascend to the ascension was due to other reasons besides the attainment of strength."

"And Zhiruo, if you also want to ascend to other worlds like me in the future, I don't know what the specific conditions will be."

"However, based on the stability of this world that I feel so far, if you want to be rejected by this world, Zhiruo, you need to at least cultivate to the fourth innate realm to make it possible."

"Even with a high probability, Zhiruo, you may need to cultivate to the innate fifth realm to be able to do it."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhou Zhiruo who was full of yearning.

Xie An sighed inwardly, and directly sentenced her to death for the possibility of her strength ascending.
