Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Yes, yes, that's the case. Your words made me see the light, and I understood." Xu Wenruo suddenly said: "Zhang Shilin and the mysterious late Mahayana monk and the early Mahayana monk who prevented Yuan Jian from protecting Liu Ruhan The monks belong to the same organization, and Tangning is also a member of this organization."

"So Tang Ning went uncharacteristically to investigate Zhang Shilin in Liangzhou, actually to protect Zhang Shilin. But his behavior was too confusing, and the Tao Te Sect has found out that there is a mysterious organization behind Zhang Shilin."

"In order to clear his suspicions, he directed and staged an ambush to completely separate himself from this mysterious organization."

"He asked Kong Rui to be a witness, and then killed Shang Haoxuan, who had a close relationship with him and had cooperated with him for many years, so that others would not doubt him."

"And the person who stopped Yuan Jian was also a member of that organization. He was sent to protect Liu Ruhan."

"Because he knew that he was already in the spotlight and was in Liangzhou, he couldn't take care of Liu Ruhan. He was worried that others would find a breakthrough in her, so he sent an early Mahayana monk to secretly protect her."

"After clearing himself of this mysterious relationship, he sent a member of this organization to kill Yuan Jian, who had an sworn hatred with him."

The old man took a deep breath, and as he went through the reasoning layer by layer, he actually felt a chill on his back: "This person is really terrible. Not only is he thoughtful, but he is also ruthless. There are so many forces secretly investigating. In order to make the ambush scene more realistic, he actually killed Shang Haoxuan, who was closely related to him. "

"It's just that there are too many suspicious things on him. It's impossible to clean them off no matter how hard you wash them. In the end, the fox's tail is still exposed."

"Now it seems that he has a pivotal position in that mysterious organization."

"From the information we have, all members of this organization seem to be acting around him. He was able to instruct an early Mahayana monk to secretly protect his wife."

"He was able to instruct late Mahayana monks to perform a play with him."

"He was able to instruct members of that organization to kill Yuan Jian silently."

Xu Wenruo's eyes lit up: "I think Shang Haoxuan may have been part of his plan and one of the people he wanted to get rid of."

"Oh? What do you mean by this? Does Shang Haoxuan have any rift with him?"

"Originally I didn't expect this level. When you said this, I suddenly remembered that after the ambush incident, we investigated Shang Haoxuan. According to the merchant's disciples, after learning that Tang Ning returned to the Qingzhou Alliance Army, he He seemed very anxious. Sometimes he would walk around alone in the room, and sometimes he would look out the window for a long time, thinking about something.”

"You mean, he already had a premonition of the impending disaster at that time?"

"Yes. I guess he must have known some of Tang Ning's secrets, or accidentally come into contact with a hidden truth that he couldn't access. That's why he seemed very anxious after learning that Tang Ning had returned to Qingzhou to join the coalition. He must have had a premonition that Tang Ning might He wants to be killed and silenced, but because this secret is too important, he dare not reveal it to the outside world, otherwise it may lead to the destruction of his family. "

The old man nodded and said, "It is indeed possible. After Shang Haoxuan's death, Tangning immediately changed the business and cooperated with the Kong family. Now the Kong family is responsible for collecting magic crystals and demon elixirs for him. In this way A replacement was found soon, so he must have planned it. ”

"Then the Kong family may also be involved. Shang Haoxuan was killed because he was invited by the Kong family to discuss matters."

"In this way, everything is in order. Getting rid of Shang Haoxuan as a potential threat and performing a show to remove his suspicion is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. If this is the case, Shang Haoxuan has a premonition that he may be killed. Maybe there is a backup plan. You are responsible for secretly investigating the merchant, and I will report the matter to the headquarters immediately. "

………

Linzi County, Qingzhou Alliance Army Headquarters, in front of the majestic and majestic meeting hall, Tang Ning escaped from the light and strode into the room, where several senior leaders of the Alliance Army were already seated.

Today's discussion was extraordinary. Even several Mahayana monks who were stationed in Le'an County rushed over to discuss whether to recover the three counties of Qingzhou and launch an attack on the Mubei Allied Forces stationed in Qingzhou.

In the previous discussions, the two sides had several verbal exchanges on this issue. This time it was the final vote. Han Siyuan had already sent a message to the frontline coalition forces stationed in Le'an County, asking them to come to participate in this discussion. .

"Fellow Taoist Tang, it is rumored that Yuan Jian of the Qingjiao clan was beheaded and his head was thrown in the wilderness outside Donglai County. I wonder if you have heard about this?" He sat down and heard Feng Jingxing's voice.

"I just found out, I just don't know who did it." Tang Ning responded calmly.

Jiang Yixin smiled and said: "Yuan Jian and Taoist friend have a deep hatred. Taoist friend once killed this son, and he also ambushed your wife in revenge. This time, Taoist friend should be the most happy to be killed."

"Yuan Jian not only had a deep grudge against me, but also had a sworn feud with our coalition forces. His death is not only joyful to me, but also our coalition forces are happy about it."

"What fellow Taoist Tang said is true." Feng Yuliang immediately answered: "Now Mubei is disturbed by the invasion of demons and has too much time to take care of itself. And the demons stationed in Qingzhou have lost a great general. It is God who has blessed us. What we should do most is The people who are rejoicing should be our own coalition forces.”

Zhu Zhiqing nodded and responded: "Yes, now is the right time, place, and people. This is a golden opportunity to regain the three counties of Qingzhou. Don't miss it."

After the two of them spoke, no one answered. As the hard-liners against Mubei within the coalition forces, the two of them would use the topic to lead the matter to war whenever they had the opportunity. Everyone was already accustomed to this, and they would not go against it. They argue.

After being silent for a while, Lu Shiyuan said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I remember that when Yuan Jian ambushed your wife, a mysterious early Mahayana monk stopped him. In your opinion, is it possible that Yuan Jian was killed this time? The person who stopped Yuan Jian in the first place?"

"I don't know what Fellow Daoist Lu means." Tang Ning glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "Your department's intelligence network is all over Qingzhou, and you don't even know who did it. What's the use of asking me? If you say If you want to ask if this matter has anything to do with me, please speak up. There is no need to beat around the bush and make such circumlocutions.”

"How about I answer both of your questions at once. Yuanjian's death has nothing to do with me. I don't know any inside information. If anyone knows, please tell me."

Seeing his unhappy tone, both Feng Jingxing and Lu Shiyuan remained silent. As soon as these words came out, no one in the palace bothered him about the matter anymore.

"Anyway, Yuan Jian's death is a good thing for this department. No matter who did it, we really have to thank him." Jiang Yixin chuckled, which slightly eased the stiff atmosphere.

As time went by, people arrived one after another.

There are a total of sixteen Mahayana monks, including five from Taixuanzong, namely Han Siyuan, Tang Ning, Nangong Muxue, Zhou Buqun and Qingwu Camp Chief Yang Yanlin.

There are two people in Nether Sea, namely Feng Jingxing and Lu Shiyuan.

The two members of the Jiang family are Jiang Yixin and Jiang Jue.

and Zhu Zhiqing, representative of the Jingyue Sect in Donglai County. Feng Yuliang, the representative of Xingyi Sect in Pingyuan County.

Gan Yuan, the representative of Shangyuanzong in Jinan County. Kong Rui, the representative of the Linzi County family.

Ma Yuanming, representative of Taiji Sect in Le'an County.

Fan Shize, the representative of Qingyuan Sect in Linzi County. Deng Qilin, representative of the Jinan County Family.

Among them, Yang Yanlin, Ma Yuanming, Fan Shize, and Deng Qilin have all been on the front line of Le'an County for a long time. This time they came specially to participate in the important decisions of the battle against Mubei.

It was also the first collective meeting held by Tang Ning since she returned to the Qingzhou Alliance Army.

Han Siyuan was the last one to arrive. He walked straight to the main seat above and sat down. He glanced at everyone and slowly said: "Everyone is here. We have conducted many rounds of discussions on whether the coalition forces should take the opportunity to regain the occupied three counties of Qingzhou. Discussion, today’s meeting is to vote on this matter. For this reason, Junior Brother Yang, Fellow Daoist Fan, and Fellow Daoist Deng came all the way from Le’an County.”

"Before the voting, we still need everyone to speak freely and express their opinions. Especially Junior Brother Yang, Daoyou Ma, Daoyou Fan, and Daoyou Deng. They have been stationed in Anle County for these years and have worked very hard and have not participated in the previous discussions. All of you are very interested in hearing it. Listen to your opinions.”

"Then let me tell you my opinion." After Han Siyuan said, Ma Yuanming was the first to speak: "I think now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go north to regain the old land of Qingzhou. If we continue, we will suffer chaos. If we don't take the opportunity to regain it at this time, The three counties of Qingzhou will never have this chance again when the Mubei demon recovers."

"As for some fellow Taoists, they are worried that this will reignite the war with Mubei. In fact, the war between us and Mubei has never stopped. It is just because of the harassment of the demons that the two sides have a tacit agreement to suspend the attack."

"If a demon invasion breaks out in Jinan County or Linzi County, who can guarantee that the Mubei demons will not take advantage of the situation and seize Le'an County?"

"In this case, why not strike first? Even if we cannot recapture the three counties of Qingzhou in one fell swoop, it is better to regain one more city and one more pool than to miss the opportunity."

"What's more, the Mubei demons have too much time to take care of themselves. If we can annihilate this part of the Mubei coalition troops stationed in Qingzhou, it will be equivalent to cutting off one of their arms. In addition, there will inevitably be casualties due to their disputes with the demons."

"Even if they quell the demon rebellion, they won't have the strength to attack Qingzhou again in a short period of time. We can take this opportunity to recuperate and regain our strength."

"I know that some fellow Taoists are worried that because we have broken the tacit truce with the Mubei Demon Clan, Qingzhou will be threatened by the invasion of the Demon Clan in the future, and Mubei will take the opportunity to go south, leaving us vulnerable to enemies from both sides. This is completely unfounded."

"No one knows whether the next demon invasion will break out in Qingzhou or Mubei. There is no need to think too much about uncertain things. All we can do is seize the opportunity in front of us."

"I reiterate once again, there will never be a possibility of peace between us and the Mubei Demon Clan. The temporary truce is just because both sides understand the principle of fighting for the fishermen's profit. If the threat of the Demon Clan disappears, Mubei will still Choose to continue going south and swallow up the entire Qingzhou."

"Since we have to fight to the death with the Mubei Monster Clan sooner or later, what difference does it make if we start the battle early or later? Why should we miss such a God-given opportunity?"
