Ascension Through Generations

After Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Fourth Master, it is difficult to sneak into Boiling Spring Valley!"

"It's not very difficult, but very, extremely difficult! Let's put it this way, in the past five hundred years, only one spy from the Black Ice Platform has entered the Boiling Spring Valley, and the number of times was only twice."

He Ying picked up the floor-length robe and sat back in his seat, with a helpless expression on his face.

Zhao Sheng muttered: "Let's give it a try! You can't rush this matter, you have to wait for the opportunity!"

"Hehe! You don't have to be impatient, the time will come. If you know how many plans and rehearsals Heibingtai has made in order to remove any forces that threaten the royal family. You will know that a company with a history of more than two thousand years Intelligence agency, how terrible it would be!”

Facing the triumphant He Ying, Zhao Sheng felt a little chill in his heart for no reason.

After leaving the intelligence point, Zhao Sheng followed his previous personality and resumed normal "life" and normal "communication."

As for information, he no longer deliberately inquired about it, but just did it casually.

He estimated that He Ying and others didn't care much about the information he obtained.

And Zhao Sheng knew that He Ying and others had their own plans, but they were just hiding them from him.

From beginning to end, Hei Bingtai did not treat him as one of his own, but only as a "thug" and "cannon fodder."

Zhao Sheng didn't care at all.

…

Time flies, time is like water!

In the blink of an eye, the dry season in the Tianhuang Territory has passed and the rainy season has ushered in again.

On this day, an imperial edict suddenly came from Yongjing and fell on the Zhou family.

Then the content of the imperial edict spread quickly throughout Hongyangzhou: "The Holy One has decreed that the Crown Prince's side concubine, Mrs. Zhou, is virtuous, virtuous, and has a good heart. She is highly regarded by the public and is specially promoted to the Crown Princess!"

A daughter of the Zhou family has become a crown princess!

This was like a shot of stimulant for the Zhou family. Not only the mortal relatives were excited, but even the immortal cultivators were also very excited.

You must know that becoming a crown princess means that the Zhou family is valued by the current prince, and it also means that the Zhou family is likely to become the Yonghou family in the future.

If she becomes the queen in the end, it means that the Zhou family's status in the Yong Dynasty will be as stable as a mountain for at least two to three hundred years.

Not to mention the distant future, it’s now. The Zhou family's daughter's promotion to Crown Princess will also bring substantial benefits to the Zhou family.

Sure enough, everything went as planned.

The prince's "sincerity" arrived soon!

The guard general of Heisha Prefecture was vacant, so General Zhou Zhonghang of the Zhou family was specially appointed as the general of the town to guard Heisha Prefecture.

Heisha Prefecture is located on the border of Dayong, which is a battleground between Dayong and Dazhen.

The reason why the fight is necessary is not because of the tight terrain of Black Sand State, but because there is a large and medium-sized spirit stone mine in Black Sand State, with an annual output of nearly two million spirit stones, and it can stably produce high-grade spirit stones, and even mine them occasionally. To the best spiritual stone.

The best spiritual stone is a treasure that even the ancestor of Yuanying is rare. If he can hide one, the face of the Zhou family's golden elixir ancestor will be so happy.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the Zhou family did not delay for a moment and immediately mobilized the "Fire Wolf Army". Following Zhou Zhonghang, who had built the ninth floor, they rushed to Heisha Prefecture day and night to take office.

The Fire Wolf Army is one of Zhou's trump cards. It is strictly trained in the way that large sects cultivate immortal soldiers to protect the Tao.

The Immortal Soldiers came from the legendary military art, and were somewhat similar to ordinary armies, attaching great importance to the power of unity and cooperation.

The method of cultivating Taoist soldiers is usually to use the Taoist formation to connect everyone's spirit, energy and spirit, so as to reach the realm of Taoist soldiers where hearts and minds are connected and all forces are unified.

The Taoist army was extremely expensive and difficult to form. The Zhou family also relied on blood as a guide. After decades of day and night training, it was difficult to build a fire wolf army of two hundred people.

It can be said that once this fire wolf army forms a formation, it can surpass the level and compete with the real Jin Dan. Ordinary fake pills are not its opponent at all.

There are more than four Jindan families in the Great Yong Dynasty: "lion, tiger, owl, and wolf". Why are only these four families leading the way?

The key is that each of the four major families has a Taoist army like the Fire Wolf Army.

Therefore, only the Mo family and the four major families can get involved in the large spiritual stone mines in Heishazhou.

The prince showed his "sincerity", and the Zhou family reciprocated the favor, unconsciously moving closer to the prince.

Moreover, the Zhou family took advantage of the prince's power to quickly expand its power in the eighty-eight states of Dayong, and gained considerable benefits in just one or two years.

It can be said that the Zhou family has great momentum for a while, and everything goes smoothly, and everything goes smoothly. It is quite like a hero brought to heaven and earth to borrow strength.

Zhao Sheng has been watching the Zhou family's "fire cooking" good situation with cold eyes.

Although He Ying was very tight-lipped and did not leak a single word, Zhao Sheng intuitively told him that all of this was caused by Hei Bingtai!

The Fire Wolf Army's defense of Heisha Prefecture is clearly a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

The smooth expansion of the Zhou family's power seems to be of great benefit to the Zhou family, but on the other hand, it is not a distraction of its own strength.

This weird trick was extremely secretive and sinister, and the Zhou family fell into the trap unknowingly.

As far as Zhao Sheng knows, the Zhou family is currently short of manpower, and half of the Foundation Establishment clan members have to disperse to various states to take care of the family property. As for the ordinary Qi Refining clan members sent abroad, there are even more.

If Zhao Sheng hadn't stated several times that he "didn't have much time left", it would have been for the sake of teaching Zhou's juniors with all his heart. He, the chief guest minister, had long been sent to another state.

Even so, many "tasks" were added to Zhao Sheng, such as regular inspections of Zhoucheng, occasional foreign missions, and the elimination of certain "enemies".

As Zhao Sheng silently waited for the opportunity, time passed day by day.

Two years later, although the situation of the Zhou family is getting better and better, the darkness is approaching day by day.

In the past six months, the Zhou family suddenly discovered that something was wrong with the situation. Industries in various states suddenly encountered more or less troubles. Either the transportation team was robbed by demons, or the store business was robbed by certain forces. There were even many clan members who were killed for no reason. disappeared.

At the same time, the prince also encountered big trouble. The current Holy Emperor has recently reprimanded the prince for his dissolute behavior and granted the second prince the title of prince.

The intention is obviously to let the second prince and the prince fight in the ring.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and the position of the prince is unstable.

In recent months, the Crown Princess has sent home letters three times. The letters repeatedly mentioned that there were very few people available for the Crown Prince, and asked the family to send a few more capable clan members to serve under the Crown Prince.

Now that they have boarded the prince's ship, the Zhou family will naturally do their best to help the prince stabilize his holy family, so the three Ji-building tribe members were quickly sent to Yongjing.

Zhao Sheng saw all this.

He vaguely felt that the time he had been waiting for was coming soon, but he had not yet fully figured out how the Mo family could gain the reputation of "righteousness".

Without righteousness in hand, we cannot legitimately attack the "rebellious ministers" Zhou family.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Zhou family is not a vegetarian. Although it does not fully understand the Mo family's conspiracy, it has its own unique sources of intelligence.

Through intelligence combined with various recent abnormal situations, the Zhou family seems to have sensed that there is some kind of danger approaching, and they are actually starting to show signs of shrinking their power.

And the day before yesterday, the ancestor of the Zhou family suddenly issued a decree, allowing Zhou Qingwu, Zhou Qingqing and other outstanding juniors to enter Boiling Spring Valley.

Nominally, the ancestor trained him personally, but in Zhao Sheng's view, this behavior seemed to imply protection.

"Did Zhou Xilai already realize that the Mo family was going to take action against the Zhou family?" Zhao Sheng thought to himself.

Just as Zhao Sheng was secretly sharpening his minions and waiting for the end of the Zhou family, He Ying contacted him very suddenly.

Arriving at the intelligence point, Zhao Sheng was surprised to find that Mo Wushuang, Bao Yuer, and He Ying were all present.

"Hey, why is there still a bald donkey?"

Zhao Sheng turned to look at the corner of the secret room, where stood a bald man wearing a red monk's robe and a solemn appearance.
