LRAB Chapter 163
Chapter 163
Chen Jingan knew Yuan Shang's plan, and secretly criticized the indecisiveness of these decision-makers.
Since they think the Murong Immortal Clan has become a hidden danger, just destroy it directly.
At worst, they can do it dirty.
Directly use the "Enfeoffment Decree" as a starting point to abolish the top combat power of the Murong Immortal Clan in advance, and then use those foundation-building casual cultivators who want to be enfeoffed as pawns to let them go down and divide Gusu County.
This can also take out the Daqian royal family in public.
Although this matter will definitely not be hidden from Dayan, the other party's choice to form an alliance with Daqi at this juncture is clearly ill-intentioned.
Facing the alliance between Qi and Yan, Daqian is already unable to gain an advantage with a one-on-two situation.
In this case, if the means are not iron-blooded enough, it is very likely to encourage the other party to become more aggressive.
Chen Jingan's own analysis is limited to this.
Of course.
If Daqian's strength is stronger than he imagined, or even if he is trying to lure him into a trap, then Chen Jing'an is willing to admit his one-sidedness.
In short, Yuan Shang did not give him any choice in this matter.
All he can do is to cooperate with Yuan Shang to carry out this plan.
This may not be a behind-the-scenes game from the high-ranking families in the capital.
Different from the previous game.
This time, they and the Mu family became friends of the chess player. They not only knew the identities of the chess players on both sides, but also understood their own positions.
Even if they are still in the game, compared with the Meng and Zhao families who are really confused by the situation, their situation is much better.
Compared with the feeling of powerlessness when facing the Zheng family, this is an improvement for their family.
Strive to break free from the identity of this chess piece as soon as possible, and also be the operator behind the scenes.
Chen Jing'an immediately stated that he would personally return to the clan to supervise this matter.
Seeing him so obedient, Yuan Shang nodded with a smile.
Then, Yuan Shang raised his hand and a jade slip fell into Chen Jing'an's hand.
He said, "I heard that your daughter is also good at using a knife, and she is also the humerus of my Demon Suppression Division. There happens to be a fire-attributed natal knife inheritance here, which is also an opportunity obtained by my Yuan family ancestors, and I will give it to you."
Chen Jing'an knew that this was Yuan Shang's compensation to him.
Or in other words, this is the sweet date after the stick.
The natal knife practiced by the Yuan family of the Demon Suppression Division can be directly used as the embryo of the natal magic weapon after being promoted to the foundation building stage. It is indeed something that Chen Qingyan can use.
With Yuan Shang's cunning, he chose Chen Qingyan as the object of compensation.
There may be several other tacit meanings behind this.
Chen Jing'an listed them one by one without any flaw.
At least, he got the answer today.
After leaving Yuan Mansion.
Chen Jing'an immediately asked Di Yucheng for leave and set off to return to Qinghe County, tentatively scheduled for a month.
He just killed two foundation-building demon cultivators.
This is equivalent to the usual "two years" of killing quota.
As long as Daqian does not officially go to war, there will be no new killing quota in the next few months.
This is the biggest reason why Chen Jing'an is willing to leave Beijing.
...
Book Collection Pavilion.
Chen Qingli has been here for more than a month. After knowing the work of these editors, when subdividing the categories, he chose the category of national history and geography.
Although the Book Collection Pavilion is a clean government office, there are also differences in clean government offices.
The main work of editing is sorting and proofreading.
There is no need to say much about sorting. At most, it is to straighten out the messed up places, and there is nothing worth mentioning.
But proofreading is different.
If you can really find any mistakes worth mentioning in the ancient books, you can write them into your editing career as a resume.
This is one of the few ways to make progress in the Book Collection Pavilion.
Therefore, the two imperial examination scholars who came with Chen Qingli chose to record the anecdotes and doctrines of saints and planned to work hard.
However, the books of the predecessors have been revised by the editors of successive generations, and there is little content available for verification.
One more person to be responsible means one less hope.
This is a career, who doesn't want to climb up.
How can you sacrifice yourself for others?
So, something ridiculous happened.
The two imperial examination scholars who were initially hostile to Chen Qingli soon started to fight over the matter of grabbing jobs.
Jinshi A scolded Jinshi B, saying that he was too utilitarian and not pious enough to the teachings of saints.
Jinshi B said to Jinshi A, you are so pious, the verification belongs to you, and the credit belongs to me.
This remark can be regarded as stirring up a hornet's nest.
In broad daylight, two young officials who looked elegant started fighting directly.
This attracted many editors who were retired to watch.
Their lives are too dull, and it’s so hard to have something exciting to watch, so of course they can’t miss it!Isn't it more fun to watch scholars fighting than fishing?
In order to let them fight for a while longer, there are even editors who are responsible for keeping watch to prevent superiors from coming and calling them off.
That would make it boring for everyone.
Chen Qingli obviously had no interest in this.
The "National History and Geography" he chose was the opposite of the two imperial examination scholars, and it was a clean office among the clean offices.
Because it is normal for national history and geography to remain unchanged, and it is an accident if they are changed.
This is equivalent to directly eliminating the verification step.
Chen Qingli was deeply influenced by those old editors, and now he no longer concealed that he came to the library to get books and qualifications!
He first opened a local history.
Mortals and monks, they all use the same geographical system.
Because behind the mortal forces, there are often corresponding monk forces to support them.
Chen Qingyi opened it carefully and soon immersed himself in it.
He knew that the Daqian where he was located belonged to a vast area called "Xizhou".
In Xizhou, there are sixteen Jindan countries like Daqian, large and small, collectively known as the Sixteen Kingdoms of Xizhou.
However, the area of these sixteen countries only accounts for one-fifth of the entire Xizhou.
They are mainly located in the central part of Xizhou.
From the map, the existence of these sixteen countries seems to be an artificial demarcation.
This is indeed the case.
The sixteen countries belong to the sphere of influence of the three major immortal gates according to different camps.
Chen Qingli knew that his sixth master and second brother were both practicing in the immortal gate "Lingyun Sect", and Lingyun Sect was also the upper sect worshipped by Daqian.
The territory of Lingyun Sect is mainly located in the southern part of Xizhou.
Daqian is located at the junction of the three major immortal gates. Daqian and the Song Dynasty in the south of Daqian are both vassal states of Lingyun Sect.
Their eastern neighbor Dayan belongs to the immortal gate "Wanshou Valley".
Their western neighbor Daliang belongs to the immortal gate "Fire Demon Palace".
Only the Great Qi in the north is temporarily undecided.
Because the original kingdom of this land belongs to the "Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts", but the emperor of the Great Qi is a demon cultivator.
He personally prefers the Fire Demon Palace, because the Fire Demon Palace itself is the only one of the three major immortal gates that allows the coexistence of good and evil, and it also has a certain tolerance for demon cultivators.
The Fire Demon Palace does not mind that its territory is larger.
So, the Great Qi has now become a disputed area between the two major immortal gates.
It was the first time for Chen Qingli to look down at the country under his feet from such a macro perspective, and his mood was naturally different.
He continued to go down, and there were annotations against the three major immortal gates.
Lingyun Sect, the former Lingyun ancestor forcibly integrated the inheritance of the major sects in the south and forcibly formed a super force.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, backed by many demon tribes, they relied on the inheritance of beast control and force to conquer some of the demon tribes, and also had to face the impact from the remaining demon tribes.
Fire Demon Palace, this is a force formed by a group of cultivators outside Xizhou and local demon cultivators in Xizhou.
The three major immortal sects are in a tripod, with the sixteen countries as a natural boundary.
But Daqian is the boundary within this boundary.
They are the northernmost of the countries controlled by Lingyun Sect, directly bordering the vassal states of Wanshou Valley and Fire Demon Palace.
As the saying goes, when immortals fight, mortals suffer.
Daqian is in such a position, once the three major immortal sects have any action, it will inevitably be affected.
Seeing this, Chen Qingli knew that he could do nothing, and he couldn't help feeling a little powerless in his heart.
He was born in Daqian. If Daqian was divided by others one day.
Would he become a person of a lost country?
This thought flashed through Chen Qingli's mind, and he closed the local chronicle in front of him, and suddenly felt that he had no intention of reading today.
Ignorance is bliss.
There is always truth in this saying.
(Because the author's level is too low to illustrate, I made a map of Xizhou and put it in the "Essence Post" of the book circle. You can take it if you want to use it)
