Realm of Power

Hearing what the black-haired young man said, the high priest of the Tian Temple couldn't help but show a trace of sadness on his face. He hesitated to speak. He had buried his head deep in the temple for many years. The high priest's eyes scanned the subtle changes of the seasons under Yunzhong City. Yunzhong City was like A pillar rising from this flat land is like a small boat in the rolling green sea, making the boat riders feel the vitality of spring, but for themselves, this is an insurmountable prison.

No wonder he was so shaken that he couldn't control himself for a while

A person who has been looking for a way to get rid of this kind of bondage all his life has only now realized that because he stayed in the Tianmiao for a long time and was affected by the magnetism of the Tianmiao itself, his body has become dependent on magnetism. Once you leave, this constraint will continue to increase, and in the end it will be difficult to even leave Yunzhong City. If you had known that this was the case, and you had only chosen to gradually stay away from the big Cishan in Yunzhong City, this constraint might have been gone long ago. !

"If I had met Your Majesty earlier, I might..." The high priest of Tian Temple smiled bitterly and suddenly raised his hand towards the accompanying girl. The girl came over. The high priest of Tian Temple stretched out his hand and touched the girl's head, then turned to The black-haired young man said, "It should be impossible for me to leave, but Ling'er should be fine. If His Majesty wants it, please take Ling'er away."

"That's no problem. I can take her out of here, and even send her back to Zhongbia." The black-haired young man nodded sternly. "But I should at least know where to send her to Zhongbia, right?" The young man believed that the high priest of Tianmiao should be able to understand what he said. If the high priest of Tianmiao was not even willing to disclose his family background, there would be no need for the two parties to talk about cooperation.

The eyes of the high priest of the Tianmiao Temple were full of complexity. He hesitated and said, "My name is Li Yanchun. I am from a famous family in China and Bia."

"Zhang Vale? Zhang Vale, one of the four great clans in Zhongbia?" This time it was the black-haired young man's turn to light up. Among the four great clans in China and Bia, Tang, Li, Zhang, and Song Dynasty, Zhang Vale is his only one. I haven’t come into contact with it because Zhang Clan was in the battle where the grassland people conquered the imperial capital of Central Asia. The whole family in China died for the country, but when it comes to the influence of the four great clans in Central Asia, although the Zhang clan is ranked behind the Tang clan, who is responsible for the imperial finance and taxation, and the Li clan, who is the head of the imperial civil service group, his influence is The biggest, because Zhang Clan was the controller of the military in China and Libya in the past dynasties.

"Yes, it is Zhang Vale among the four gates."

The high priest of Tianmiao looked solemn, with a flash of memory in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Strictly speaking, I was almost the master of Zhang Clan, but in the end I chose to give up. Zhang Clan can only have one master. I Continuing to stay in Zhongbia will only divide Zhang Clan. As a last resort, I chose self-exile. I heard that the western continent is rich in products. , the territory is vast, so I took a ship from the Zhang family fleet to Hérault, and at the invitation of a friend, I explored the restricted area in the southern part of Hérault. Who knew that this would take decades? "The high priest of the Tianmiao sighed and raised his head. He looked at the black-haired young man and asked, "I heard that Zhang Clan was annihilated in the war between the prairie people going south. Is it true?"

"Yes, Zhang Clan's entire family has died heroically for the country."

The black-haired young man nodded with emotion and said that Zhang Clan's death occurred a year before the empire entered Central Asia and had nothing to do with the empire. Therefore, the black-haired young man was not worried that the high priest of the Temple of Heaven would hold a grudge against the empire. He must remember They are also recorded in the three records of the former Northern Prairie Royal Court. For this prince, regarding the Yanzhou Incident that eventually led to the collapse of the Zhongbia Empire, the black-haired emperor once personally asked the middle-level general Yue Shan who experienced the incident. The Yanzhou military leader Goldman Sachs, who was involved, also checked with Yelu Old Fox, who was the right minister at the time. The truth about the Yanzhou Incident,

Although it is recognized that Zhang Clan had a major responsibility in the Yanzhou Incident and was the main reason for the self-destruction of the northern barrier in China and Biya, the entire Zhang Clan chose to coexist with the imperial capital and made a proper apology. Moreover, at that time, Yan The conflicts between the state and the court have been accumulating for many years, and no one can tell who is at fault. According to Yelu Old Fox,

"If we are really wrong, it can only be traced back to the particularity of Yanzhou itself. As the northern barrier of the Central-Biya region, it was initially just a military town with no more than 10,000 troops stationed. The support point for expansion. When it was strong, the Central Biya Dynasty's army marched into the northern prairie from this mountainous area, killing the northern tribes in rivers of blood. When it was weak, the Central Biya Dynasty closed the door tightly, making it difficult for the grassland army to advance." "After several dynasties, Yanshan was originally called Yanshan. The prefecture area has also been transformed from a military town into a super fortress that stretches for more than 30 miles and has 19 passes. The garrison has also grown from more than 10,000 people at the beginning to a maximum of 800,000 people. After being streamlined later, there are still 30 people. With an army of ten thousand, such a super army that has been on war-preparation for many years has consumed almost one-third of the supplies and finances of the Central Dynasty. Most of the taxes and taxes from the Central Dynasty were used to supply Yanzhou, which was levied on civilians. , as time passed, Yanzhou was in Zhongbia The status in the hearts of civilians has also changed from heroes to vampires lying on them. This is actually the deliberate act of the Central Court. Only by ruining the reputation of the Yanzhou Army can the Central Court be able to conduct another review on the size of the Yanzhou Army. It cannot be said that the Zhongbia court is ruthless to reduce the "". In fact, who is put on the head of the north by an elite army of 300,000 people who can compete with the grassland people in the north and have been ready for war for many years? Any Zhongbia Even the emperor can't sleep peacefully, let alone this one The army also wanted to drain the country's finances like a bottomless pit. In the end, Zhang Clan came forward to negotiate with Yanzhou to reduce military expenditures. Although Yanzhou's military leader Goldman Sachs agreed to reduce it, there was no movement after several years. As a last resort, Zhongbia Chaotang On the one hand, Goldman was ordered to lead the main force of the Yanzhou army to attack the North Grassland. On the other hand, the Zhongbia court mobilized Zhang Wu's army of 150,000 troops to march into Yanzhou. At the same time, he ordered the Southwest Long family's 50,000 troops to march into the southeast of Yanzhou in an attempt to use force to force Yanzhou bows its head

As a result, the war came from the front. The main force of the Yanzhou Army led by Gao Sachs was ambushed by the Prairie Army. Not only was Gao Sachs captured by the Prairie People, but he even volunteered to guide the Prairie Army into Yanzhou. Yanzhou was in chaos. The entire Yanzhou defense was arranged by Gao Sachs himself. Yes, who knows every plant and tree in Yanzhou’s barrier like Goldman Sachs? Where are the gaps and where are the intestines in the mountains? Goldman Sachs is the living map of Yanzhou.

In the eyes of Goldman Sachs, the Yanzhou Barrier is a paper wall with thousands of holes.

If Yanzhou collapses, the world will collapse

In a hurry, the Emperor of Zhongbia immediately ordered the deprivation of the power of the Yanzhou military commander Gao Sachs, declared Gao Sachs treason, and at the same time forcibly took the Yanzhou military power back to the court. In order to track down Gao Seng's gang members, all the middle and lower-level officers of the Yanzhou army were dismissed. Naturally, This caused a violent backlash from the Yanzhou army, and the Zhongbia emperor ordered a suppression. Within a few days, eleven soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou were killed by the Zhongbia Zhang armed forces. Wan, Yanzhou was bleeding like a river, and then the news came again. Not only was Goldman Sachs not ambushed, but he also defeated the grassland army. However, this news was naturally ignored by the Zhongbia court. Not only did the Zhongbia court accelerate the takeover of Yan State barrier, and also secretly believed that Bei Prairie was attacking the remaining Yanzhou Army from the north and south. It was this secret letter that became the reason why Goldman Sachs defected to Bei Prairie in despair.

As a result of the Yanzhou Incident, the Yanzhou barrier was finally broken through by the grassland people. The completely unprepared Sino-Bian army suffered countless defeats, and was finally breached in the imperial capital, and the dynasty fell! The Central Asian region has been engulfed in war since then

But now that he knew that the high priest of the Tianmiao was actually a member of Zhang Clan, the black-haired young man couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.

"Ling'er is the last heir of Zhang clan." The high priest of Tianmiao raised his head and looked at the sky for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh. He glanced at the majestic Yunzhong City in front of him but was his prison, and said, " Your Majesty's acceptance of Ling'er will only bring benefits to the Empire, but no harm. His Majesty has been lingering in the Central Biya region, sitting back and watching the Aden people ravaging southern Central Biya. Isn't it because the Central Biya people have concerns about the Empire entering the south? Conflict, Your Majesty is not willing to let the Aden people go in vain It was a bargain, but precisely because of this, southern Central Biya was not invaded by the empire. In any case, as a Central Bian, I still bear in mind His Majesty’s gentle rule over the Central Bians. Maybe His Majesty also knows that Zhang Vale was originally responsible for the military of the Central Asian Empire. Over the past few decades, Zhang Vale has had considerable influence in the military officer system in various places. If Zhang Vale's descendants side with the Empire, the Empire will The resistance going south will be reduced a lot, especially At this moment when the Zhongbia royal family has lost all their hearts, if they want to check and balance the Long family in the southwest and the Song clan in the south, only the high priest Zhang Clan can rest assured. Even if this woman has nothing to do with Zhang Clan, since I promised, I will do it. , at least within the territory of my empire, this girl will be safe. "The black-haired young man's eyes are deep and shining. From this sentence, it is enough to show that although the high priest of the Temple of Heaven cannot leave Yunzhong City, he is still far away. Thousands of miles away, the situation in China and Libya is no stranger. , although there are still obstacles for the empire to take over Central Asia, there is no shortage of people to support it. As the leader of the empire, the black-haired young man said this, and the domineering air exuded from his body suddenly made the atmosphere around him... Yi Ning "Okay, with your Majesty's promise, I won't have any worries anymore." Zhang Chunyan, the high priest of Tianmiao, said calmly. He seemed to have made some determination in his tone, and suddenly he grinned. "Does your Majesty know that this time in Red Dragon Palace?" What are you doing here at Tianmiao? "4

Others do not feel very strongly about the overlord aura exuded by the black-haired emperor, but to the high priest of the Tianmiao who is already semi-magnetized, this aura is as obvious as a storm. A certain ability that the high priest acquired at a price is to control the surrounding energy and Qi. The high priests of the Tianmiao Temple are extremely sensitive to the changes in the airflow. The high priests of the Tianmiao Temple feel like a fish in the water. This sensitivity beyond the naked eye is enough to make the high priests of the Tianmiao Temple become first-rate masters. It is exactly the same as the secret of the Abandoned Sword Stone. It is all caused by the changes that have occurred due to being magnetized for a long time.

The black-haired young man said, "Isn't it for the Eye of God?"

The high priest of the Tianmiao looked indifferent, with a touch of disdain on his lips. "It's true to say it's for the eyes of God, but it's not as your majesty thought. The Red Dragon Palace came to the Tianmiao this time, nominally. Reading through the classics is actually to find out how to destroy the Eye of God."

The Kingdom of Aden invaded the Central Biya region, burning, killing and looting, and the Central Bian people shed blood. It is conservatively estimated that two million Central Bian people died under the butcher knife of the Aden army. They even broke through Xinjing, where the Central Bian dynasty was still surviving. No wonder the Red Dragon Palace’s request to enter the Heavenly Temple was rejected by the high priest. The Red Dragon Palace never dreamed that the most mysterious high priest of the Heavenly Temple was a Central Asian. In fact, Zhang Chunyan was still modest. At that time, Zhang Clan's influence in the Central Asian Army was absolutely at its peak. With an order, even the rebellious Long Family of the Southwest could only obey, and the only one who could confront them was the South who gathered alone. The Song clan, if Zhang Clan had not killed his entire clan in the first grassland march south, and the grassland army later marched south again, it would have been impossible to defeat all the leaderless Zhongbia regular army of more than a million like sweeping away autumn leaves.

"Eye of the God of Destruction?" The one who exclaimed was Putamia next to the black-haired young man. Even the black-haired young man felt a chill. The destructive power of the Eye of God is no less than a nuclear bomb. Look. As we know from the decades of desertification in the southern part of Hero, once the Eye of God explodes in the densely populated Gulf of Aden, the entire Gulf of Aden will turn into a hell on earth.

"Your Majesty, does he know that the second prince of the former Elo royal family has fled to Aden and took away the only remaining Eye of God in the hands of the Elo royal family?" the chief priest of the Tianmiao said. "The empire's war against the Kingdom of Aden has severely damaged the mainland of Aden, especially It was the destruction of the main force of the Aden navy that directly caused the Kingdom of Aden to lose its suppression of the east side of Nanxi.

The main force of the Kingdom of Aden is cut off in Central Asia, and there are no troops available in the country. No one knows when the empire will attack next.

Under the current circumstances, the only way to get a chance to breathe is to cut off the empire's route from the south of Aden to Aden. There are already slave riots in the south of Aden, and the empire continues to increase its troops. If an Eye of God explodes in the south of Aden ..."The high priest of the Tianmiao looked at the livid-faced black-haired young man with meaningful eyes.

"This is impossible. The King of Aden is crazy. Is the Red Dragon Palace also crazy?"

Putamia's pretty face was cold and she asked in a low voice. This plan is not evil. Once the Eye of God really explodes in southern Aden, southern Aden will become like southern Aden. Not only will countless people die, , and the empire’s road into Aden from the south has also been cut off. The Aden royal family can do this kind of thing, but how can the Red Dragon Palace, which has always been at odds with the Aden royal family, agree to it?

The high priest of the Tianmiao sighed with a complex expression, "The Red Dragon Palace has been suppressed by the Aden royal family for so many years. Now, taking advantage of the best opportunity of the Aden royal family's internal and external troubles, how could it be let go?"

Just last month, on the night when the news of the disastrous defeat of the main force of the Aden navy came, the Red Dragon Palace instigated the Aden military leaders to collectively rebel and launch a campaign against the Aden royal family, and finally forced the Aden royal family to agree.

As long as the Red Dragon Palace can block the empire's attack from the south, the royal family of Aden will announce its abdication, and the Red Dragon Palace will take over Aden with full authority. Only a very few people know this top-secret news. His Majesty may not even think of revealing this crazy plan to the people of Tianmiao. , that is, the royal family of Aden themselves"
