Strange mountains and rivers

"It should be Weihuai Road, Hanshan Road and the northwest part of Tianjing Road." Seeing Chen Huaisheng's suspicious look, Kou Jing explained, "I've heard from the elders in the clan that the drawing and finalization of the imperial flag basically disrupted the administrative divisions of each road. In other words, it was not based on the so-called four states of Hebei Province. It was probably based on the geography of mountains and rivers in ancient times. So although Yanzhou is in the center of the six roads, it is almost divided up. For example, Zhangchi Road should be on the same imperial flag with Hedong Road on the Yunzhou side, the southern part of Fuyang Road should be on the same imperial flag with Zhaigu Road and Tangshui Road, and the northern part of Fuyang Road is connected with Jicheng Road and Wubo Road on the Youzhou side..."

Chen Huaisheng nodded slightly. He roughly understood that this was probably not only in line with the geography of mountains and rivers in ancient times, but also probably wanted to deliberately disrupt the structure to avoid forming a closed and dominant pattern. However, this made the customs and habits of various places somewhat confusing, while at the same time bringing about the exchange of what they had.

Just like the imperial flag of Henei Road in your hand, Henei Road is the main part, but it also includes parts of Hejin Road and Jinyang Road. In short, everything is disrupted, making it difficult for you to integrate.

Of course, if you can unify the whole of Hebei, then this won't be a big problem. But even so, Henei Road is adjacent to Yi County, and the two are intertwined, which probably makes it difficult for all parties to be divided but also inseparable.

"Then let's get down to business. Who in the Zhao family can be in charge of this imperial flag?" Chen Huaisheng said in a deep voice, "I heard that the emperor is confused and often unconscious. Who in the Zhao family is in charge?"

Kou Jing smiled bitterly: "You are well-informed. There is a fierce competition within the Zhao family now, and no one can dominate. Theoretically, the three princes Zhao Dingkun, Zhao Dingyuan, and Zhao Dingbao all have the opportunity to ascend to the throne. The three of them also have their own supporters. Zhao Dingkun married the daughter of Han Yang, the head of the Wanxiang Sect. The Wanxiang Sect will definitely support Zhao Dingkun. Zhao Dingyuan has a close relationship with the Huaxi Sword Sect and practiced in the Huaxi Sword Sect for ten years when he was young. Zhao Dingbao is the most popular within the Zhao family. Although the Tianyun Sect remains impartial, it is estimated that it should be inclined to Zhao Dingbao..."

"That means Zhao Dingbao has the greatest power. Can he make the decision?" Chen Huaisheng cursed inwardly. In this situation, this matter might be the most difficult to make a decision. No one can accomplish anything, but anyone can do bad things.

"I can't do it." Kou Jing shook her head. "The three of them are now finding fault with each other, arguing with each other all the time. How can they get anything done?"

Chen Huaisheng was anxious. What should he do? He couldn't find anyone to talk to. Wouldn't the imperial flag be lost?

"Then Kou Jing, what do you think we should do now?" Chen Huaisheng took a deep breath and said calmly: "I am determined to get the imperial flag of Yanzhou, but the current situation is difficult to break. I originally intended to exchange it, but now it seems like I made a bad move. I exposed myself but couldn't get what I wanted..."

Kou Jing also calmed down, thought for a while and then said: "That's not the case. At least you let the Zhao family and several major sects know about you and Dahuai Mountain. Your Dahuai Mountain is isolated in Hebei, but you also have three Purple Mansions. If you show your strength as an alien cultivator, even the Tianyun Sect can't easily touch you. I don't think you need to be too anxious now. I feel that the internal strife of the Zhao family will not last for two years, and this strife will be a big strife. By then, someone may take the initiative to come to you and ask to exchange the Yanzhou imperial flag..."

Chen Huaisheng stroked his chin and remained silent for a long time. "You mean we'd rather wait and see if the Zhao family is in chaos before we have a chance? But we need this imperial flag..."

"Huaisheng, is it that urgent?" Kou Jing asked back: "If you really have confidence, you can start operating in Fuyang and Weihuai first. The incense and sacrifice itself is not a one-day job. If you want mortals to admire and support you, you still have to do a lot of things in the early stage. Three to five years may not be enough. Why rush? What's more, now the Beirong people seem to have a tendency to return to Hebei. Didn't you say that the Tianhe Sect was made very nervous by the Beirong people in Yunzhou? It seems that the Beirong people and Xitang have already stopped fighting in Yongliang. The Dao Palace is a little worried that Xitang and Beirong people will shift the focus of their attack to Hebei and Dazhao, and the Zhao official family is so disappointing..."

Chen Huaisheng has also noticed this. Whether it is Yunzhou or Youzhou in the north, the Beirong people are showing signs of returning to Hebei.

The Tianhe Sect in Yunzhou had spent a lot of effort to manage it, and it was on the verge of success, but it did not expect that the Beirong people would come south from Beimo and catch the Tianhe Sect off guard, making it difficult for them to cope.

Youzhou's Changchun Road, Twelve Linked Docks and the Ning family are all very nervous now, fearing that the Northern Rong people will make a comeback, and then the entire Youzhou will face a complete reshuffle.

Chen Huaisheng was scolded by Kou Jing and could only scratch his head awkwardly: "Aren't I anxious? Do you think there will be trouble in the Zhao family in three to five years?"

"As long as His Majesty is not around, the three Zhao brothers are equally powerful. No one can withdraw. They all have their own supporters, and their interests have long been tied together. How can they stop without a fight to the death?" Kou Jing sighed: "Of the four great families in the capital, the other three are not even qualified to sit at the table. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."

"Since we are talking about this, Kou Jing, then tell me about yourself. What are your plans?" Chen Huaisheng looked at him squarely. "I know the current situation of the Kou family, and you know it yourself. It is difficult to reverse the situation. I feel that the Dacheng Sect is sharpening its knives against the Xijing families in Luoyi, and in Bianjing, the Tianyun Sect and Taihua Dao seem to be pushing for some changes in the situation. If I am not mistaken, it may not take ten or twenty years. I am not sure whether the Zhao family will be finished, but the Kou family, the Tao family, and the Shi family should be difficult to maintain, and may even cease to exist."

Kou Jing was dejected.

What Chen Huaisheng said is correct.

Great Zhao was originally a situation where sects and aristocratic families coexisted in a balanced state, but in the past hundred years, especially in the past fifty years, the power of the aristocratic families has declined rapidly. The original three major families in Luoyi and the four major families in Bianjing were powerful enough to contend with several super sects two hundred years ago, but now, except for the Zhao family which is still lingering on, the other families combined can hardly compete with a super sect.

"Huaisheng, do you want me to come to Dahuaishan?" Kou Jing adjusted her mood and asked in a leisurely voice.

"Of course I hope you come, but it depends on what you think. If you feel that coming to Dahuai Mountain is not as comfortable as you are in Bianjing City, then you don't have to come to Dahuai Mountain." Chen Huaisheng's words were full of sincerity: "I just hope that you can practice and do things according to your own wishes without considering other things. Well, I still want to practice with you in my heart."

When saying this, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but criticize himself in his heart, what a scumbag!

But he couldn't help but say this. Kou Jing was not young anymore, and she had also encountered a bottleneck in her practice. She was stuck at the high level of Qi Refining. Maybe she herself was a little confused now. At this time, he must make his attitude clear, and deep down, he sincerely hoped that Kou Jing would enter the mountain.

Kou Jing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at Chen Huaisheng with a little more tenderness in her eyes. After pondering for a while, she said, "I'd better wait for two years. I want to come back when I advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining or the peak. Although the Kou family is in decline now, a dying camel is bigger than a horse. I have guaranteed everything for the Kou family..."

"Not necessarily. The Holy Fire Sect is almost in alliance with us. The environment of the Ice and Fire Secret Realm and Leiyang Island are very beneficial to cultivation. If you come, you can choose the opportunity to go there. I estimate that it will take at least one or two years for you to break through the foundation." Chen Huaisheng said seriously.

Kou Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head: "Let's wait until I advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining before we talk about it. By then, the secret realm will be more useful. In addition, I have to keep an eye on the Zhao family for you. I estimate that the Zhao family will be in chaos within three to five years. If such a behemoth collapses, it will definitely attract many people to share the food. Don't you plan to intervene?"

Chen Huaisheng really wanted to hold this girl in his arms and kiss her. Before he even entered the mountain, he had already started thinking about it. The Zhao family was much stronger than the Kou family, the Tao family, the Shi family and other aristocratic families that had gained their reputation in vain. As for the official family, if it fell, the corpses that fell down would be enough to feed countless people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In addition to Hualin Garden and Jinming Lake, the government has many other blessed places with countless spiritual treasures, scriptures, and skills. If the day comes when they collapse, Chen Huaisheng will certainly not let it go.

"If that's the case, then you have to be careful. Just keep an eye on the Zhao family, and don't get too involved. I have a feeling that these major sects have had ideas about the Zhao family for a long time, and they are even pushing for certain changes intentionally or unintentionally..." Chen Huaisheng expressed his feelings: "The aristocratic families are getting worse and worse, and this trend can no longer be reversed. Everyone needs to find their own way out. Kou Jing, Dahuai Mountain is your strongest backing. Well, come back sooner, you should be like Bao Liu and Feng Qian, letting Tong Tong take the lead, but it's your own fault."

The last few words made Kou Jing blush, and she couldn't help punching Chen Huaisheng hard: "You think about these things all the time. Tong Tong can have a baby for you if she wants. I didn't say I want to have a baby with you. At least I want to build my foundation..."

"Really?" Chen Huaisheng smiled happily, "Then if we come to Dahuai Mountain, maybe we can build our foundation faster?"

Kou Jing rolled her eyes at Chen Huaisheng fiercely, then stood up, her eyes becoming more insightful: "Don't tempt me with this, I'll come naturally when I figure it out."
