My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

"Master, the imperial court wants the leader to do the work of a heavenly master!" Li Xingzhi frowned and said after learning Cao Jingzhong's intention, "Why is this?"

"Do you remember when Master Slayed the Dragon?" Lu Xuan said casually as he flipped through several books that Cao Jingzhong brought.

"Of course I remember." Although Li Xingzhi was not involved at the time, the matter was already known from other people's mouths.

"The treasure that appeared in the Valley of the Fallen Stars was obtained by master slaying the dragon. The emperor wants another piece." Lu Xuan raised his head and looked at Li Xingzhi: "This thing is very important to the emperor."

"Is that why the emperor fell out with the Taoist League?" Li Xingzhi reacted instantly after hearing this.

"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded: "This thing is like the list of gods. It will gather and disperse according to changes in luck. It is of great benefit to the emperor."

Li Xingzhi thought that the luck gathering on everyone now was different from before, and he understood that this thing was finally obtained by his leader.

"So, the emperor's move is to ask me to join the Yijiao Church and split Yunzhou from Daqian so that we can fight again?"

Lu Xuan nodded. He was sure that the fake mountain and river seal in the emperor's hand could no longer be used. As for whether he saw that it was fake, it was unclear. After all, the emperor had never held a real mountain and river seal. Seal, and this square mountain and river seal does have the effect of the real mountain and river seal.

"Then what the leader means..." Li Xingzhi looked at Lu Xuan. Li Xingzhi knew the consequences of the heavenly master slaying the dragon, and Lu Xuan knew better. He was a little unsure of what Lu Xuan meant, and he definitely couldn't do it. But if he didn't do it, what would the emperor do? I can't explain it.

They are able to develop stably in Yunzhou now because the emperor is behind them, allowing them to have a relatively stable environment. If they refuse the emperor's order, they may have to face the imperial court's conquest next.

The current Guiyi Sect does not have a Heavenly Master to support it. The imperial court can send any fifth-grade master over and uproot the newly stabilized foundation of the Guiyi Sect.

Lu Xuan put down the secret book of martial arts in his hand, his eyes fell on Li Xingzhi, and he tapped the armrest of the seat with his right index finger: "Since the emperor has spoken, we should obey it, but we must grasp it carefully."

Li Xingzhi nodded. He couldn't help but listen, but he couldn't listen to everything: "You can first send people to spread the teachings in various counties to make the momentum bigger."

"This alone is not enough. The emperor will be dissatisfied." Lu Xuan shook his head. He was very vocal but did not do practical things. Do you really think that the emperor is just a living person?

"But if we expand blindly, our foundation will be shaken." Li Xingzhi mused. If we expand quickly and take advantage of this drought, we can quickly open up the situation, but it will only be a replica of the original Guiyi Sect. Lu Xuan The plan set with Li Xingzhi is to develop steadily, take root among the people, and gain more reputation.

"We don't necessarily have to do everything. Nowadays, there is a severe drought in various places, and the court is doing nothing. The people can't eat, and rebellion is a helpless act. The Guiyi Sect can provide some help." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Li Xingzhi understood what was said, and took control of the situation, but the Guiyi Sect itself did not intervene.

This will not only cause chaos in Yunzhou, but will not ruin the reputation of the Guiyi Sect, and will not let the Guiyi Sect get involved. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the Guiyi Church can also take advantage of troubled waters to fish in troubled waters.

"Senior brother will decide what to do." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

……

This winter, chaos arose in Yunzhou.

The imperial court's inaction caused many people to starve to death in Yunzhou this winter. Countless people who could not survive began to rebel. Without a big force like the Guiyi Sect taking the lead, there were sporadic uprisings everywhere.

It is difficult to attack the county seat, but the manors built by wealthy families outside the city have become the target of the attack. In addition to Shangyang County and Xiuwu County, the other seven counties in Yunzhou have hundreds of uprisings in one winter. military.

Some even directly claimed the title of king.

"There haven't been many changes in Tiandu. The response to the incident in Yunzhou was very dull. Even the court didn't discuss the cause of the matter too much." From the Lu family, Yu Linglong came to see Lu Xuan with the latest information.

"Then what are they discussing?" Lu Xuan asked.

"The president of the Taiyuan Academy was appointed by King Rui Ji Ping. In addition, a large number of officials in Dongzhou were appointed. The court seemed to be more concerned about the affairs of Dongzhou. In addition, the position of prime minister and assistant was changed. Xie Yao took over the position of prime minister and assistant. The minister of household affairs Then Yuwen Da, the father of Yu Wentong, will take over." Yu Linglong looked at Lu Xuan: "According to the information currently obtained, the power of the prime minister is being eclipsed."

Lu Xuan nodded: "Tell me about Yunzhou's intelligence. Have you collected it?"

"Yes!" Yu Linglong nodded, took out a roll of map from the armrest of the wheelchair and unfolded it.

"Currently, most of the uprisings in Yunzhou are between a thousand and ten thousand people. These account for the majority, but there are also a few forces that have become the climate. Song Batian, known as the King of Linhe, has gathered fifty thousand men. Although the crowd did not occupy the city, they were very powerful. They imitated what my lord had done in Shangyang and killed many wealthy households."

"But the King of Linhe seems to be powerful, but it is actually related to the remoteness of Linhe County. In addition, the three counties with the most serious bandit troubles are Qingmen, Yancheng, and Longxing. Although no one claims to be the king, his strength is better than that of Linhe. Wang You has done something wrong." Yu Linglong looked at Lu Xuan and said: "There are many innate masters among them, and they should be controlled by the three counties' clans behind them."

Lu Xuan nodded. Liu Yiyi once said that the Zheng family in Qingmen, the Han family in Yancheng, and the Shangguan family in Longxing can be regarded as the big families in Yunzhou. The Guiyi sect was in trouble at the beginning and had no decent power in these three counties. Basically, They were all concentrated in Shangyang, Linhe, and Tongwei counties. Later, the rebellions in Linhe and Tongwei counties were quickly suppressed by Yuwentong.

The three counties of Qingmen, Yancheng, and Longxing were the places where rebellion should least occur, but now they have become the most violent places. If the three major families are not behind this, Lu Xuan would not believe it.

"My lord, Chen Dutong, Li Dutong and the head of the Pei family would like to see you." Ruyan came in, glanced at Yu Linglong, and then turned to Lu Xuanyifu.

"Let them come in." Lu Xuan nodded, then looked at Yu Linglong and said, "You are doing a good job, continue to collect intelligence, focusing on Tiandu."

"Yes." Yu Linglong nodded: "My subordinates resign!"

After saying that, she asked the woman following her to push the wheelchair out.

Soon, Chen Ergou, Li Fu and Pei Ruhai came in.

"See the leader." The three of them bowed down when they saw Lu Xuan.

"Get up." Lu Xuan waved his hand: "Why is the Pei family leader free to come here today?"

"Leader, our trade routes to the south are all blocked." Pei Ruhai said with a bitter look on his face.

Although they paid a lot of taxes to Lu Xuan during this period, they also took advantage of this severe drought to resell grain and make a lot of money in Tongwei, Tengshan, and Qingyu counties.

But the good times did not last long, and uprisings broke out in various places. Although it was not as large-scale as the Guiyi Sect uprising, except for Shangyang County and Xiuwu County controlled by the Guiyi Sect, now Yunzhou is full of banditry. It is more difficult to transport food than to reach the sky.

Once this trade route was cut off, their land had already been confiscated by Lu Xuan. Now if this trade route was cut off, they might be doomed.

"Don't worry, since you pay taxes to me, if something happens, I will protect you." Lu Xuan nodded, pointed at Li Fu and said: "This is the chief escort of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. He has an official background. Guiyi The church will try to open up trade routes in various counties, and when the time comes you can cooperate with the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, no problem."

When Pei Ruhai heard this, he quickly saluted Li Fu and said, "I've seen Mr. Li."

Although Li Fu's presence around Lu Xuan is low, he is a figure who has appeared before. How could Pei Ruhai not recognize him? However, Lu Xuan's words are already clear. He obviously wants to treat Li Fu as a stranger, so he will naturally not reveal Li Fu's identity. , not only can’t it be revealed, but also help to cover it up.

"Master Pei is so polite." Li Fu said with a smile: "The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has just been established, so I have to ask Master Pei to take care of the business."

"Of course, of course!" Pei Ruhai said politely.

"Don't worry, Head Pei, as long as you follow the rules, Guiyi Sect will be your backing." Lu Xuan looked at Pei Ruhai and said.

"The leader is benevolent and righteous!" Pei Ruhai bowed quickly and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

With Chen Ergou and Li Fu here, he knew they had something to discuss, so naturally he didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Ruyan, send it to the head of the Pei family."

After Pei Ruhai left, Chen Ergou immediately looked at Lu Xuandu and said, "Leader, something happened."

"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan looked at the bandage on Li Fu's shoulder and frowned.

"The goods we sent to Tiandu were robbed in Qingmen County." Li Fu sighed and said: "The official side recognizes the token given by the leader, but the rebels don't recognize it, and..."

"Ventilation on both sides?" Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked.

"It should be." Li Fu nodded and looked at Lu Xuandao with a grimace: "The time when the rebels appeared was too coincidental. It happened to be right after we contacted the people with official connections, and they knew that we had experts among us. In order to ensure For this dart, the four innate masters sent to me by the leader were dispatched, as well as one hundred and twenty acquired masters. But among the rebels, not only were they masters, but there were also two transformation realms, eight innates, and all the brothers who went with them. I’ve told you, only one of my subordinates will fight to the death.”

Thinking about how Guo Chang led them to besiege Sanyang County, the day after tomorrow the masters could become the commander-in-chief. This newly formed band of rebels has such a large number of warriors. These people are really... not at all I didn't take myself seriously.

"It seems that our reputation is not enough!" Lu Xuan smiled, and his smile was a little catchy: "Inform Yang Ao, the war hall is assembled, let's go to Qingmen County, I want to meet these colleagues!"

"Yes!" The two agreed upon hearing this and bowed to leave.

"Ruyan." Lu Xuan took a sip of tea and looked at Ruyan who came back.

"Yes." Ruyan came to Lu Xuan and bowed.

"Go tell Yu Linglong that I want information on the prefects of Qingmen, Yancheng, and Longxing counties. What's important is the network of people behind them and which faction they belong to." Lu Xuan looked at Ruyan and said.

"Yes." Ruyan bowed obediently and turned to leave.

As Ruyan left, blood surged from Lu Xuan's body, and Lu Xuan, the Son of the Blood God, slowly appeared beside him.

Lu Xuan turned around and left, and the Blood God Son walked towards the door. This time he went to Qingmen County to deal with an official figure. The Blood God Son's intervention was better than Lu Xuan's intervention in dealing with emergencies.
