Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Southern Region, Lieyang City.

In the palace hall, a grand court meeting was being held once every three days.

The emperor of the current dynasty sat on the throne, and there was a chair next to him, where the ancestor Chu Jinghong sat.

The discussion of today's grand court meeting was about the issue of disbanding the army that the Chongxin Marquis had submitted a few days ago.

Like the previous two court meetings, this time the civil and military officials also quarreled over this matter, and each of them argued until they were red in the face.

But as the people who can really make the decision, Chu Jinghong and Zhou Yu Niang kept silent.

One of them sat on it, playing with his nails as if he was bored, and the other stood on

As for the emperor of the current dynasty, he sat on the dragon chair and wandered in the sky.

Because he knew very well that he was just a decoration in this court, and as an emperor who was undermined, he sometimes didn't speak

In this case, just don't say anything!

Not surprisingly, today's grand court meeting did not produce any results.

After the court was dismissed, Zhou Yu Niang went straight back to the mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Zhou Yu Niang had just walked into the mansion when Yun Zhilan came up to her: "Sister, Taoist Wanyu is here."

"Huh? Where is he?"

"In the front hall!"

"Okay, I'll go see the Taoist. You personally bring people to guard around and don't allow anyone to approach the front hall."

"Yes, sister!"

The front hall.

Zhao Mu was leaning back in a chair, holding a book and reading it from time to time.

Zhou Yu Niang walked in: "Taoist, why are you free today?"

"Haha, of course I have some news to tell you, and by the way, I want to see how you are doing in the court recently."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "I heard that Chu Jinghong wanted to cut some troops recently to reduce the burden on the treasury. Has the court been arguing about this matter these days?"

"Humph, his purpose is not to reduce the burden on the treasury, that's just an excuse. His real purpose is to weaken my power. After all, the troops proposed to be cut in the memorial of the Marquis of Chongxin are closely related to me."

Zhou Yu Niang sneered.

"What about you? What do you think?"

"In the past, I might have taken a step back and agreed to cut some of the troops. After all, this would indeed make the treasury richer, and the court could do more things that benefit the country and the people."

"Besides, I have found a way to seize the national destiny and the other half of the destiny fruit from Chu Jinghong."

"Cutting off some troops will not have much impact on me. On the contrary, it can show weakness and make the other party think that I have been weakened, which will facilitate my actions in secret."

"But the situation is different now."

Zhou Yu Niang looked solemn: "Master, you sent me a message a while ago, saying that the Zixu Continent is turbulent, and all major forces are restless, and something big will happen."

"I I think if something really happens in Zixu Continent, then the South Region will definitely be affected and will not be spared. "

"So at this time, it is definitely not a wise move to disband the army. Otherwise, once all parties are in turmoil, how can the court ensure the stability of the government and the people, and how can it protect the people of the South Region?"

Zhao Mu smiled and nodded: "Haha, you are right. Now we really can't disband the army. Instead, we should rectify the military to prevent accidents."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu Niang asked: "Master, you said you had news to tell me just now. What news is it? Is it related to the turmoil in Zixu Continent?"

"Yes, it is indeed related."

Zhao Mu then told me about the arrival of the Lord of the North Region and the exhaustion of spiritual energy.

He finally said: "The Lord of the North Region has already arrived. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Lord of the South Region will also arrive."

"After all, after selecting forty candidates for the destiny, they will have to conduct further tests to select the final person with the destiny."

"Will the exhaustion of spiritual energy really come?" Zhou Yu Niang looked solemn.

Anyone who practices the immortal way will have an instinctive fear of the exhaustion of spiritual energy, just like mortals facing a world-destroying natural disaster.

"It will come naturally."

Zhao Mu shook his head: "All we can do is to try to prevent it from coming, but if we can't stop it, we can only protect ourselves at that time."

He thought: "But you can use this news."

"Do you mean...disarmament?" Zhou Yu Niang's eyes lit up.

"Yes!"

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "The news of the exhaustion of spiritual energy will not spread to the South Region too quickly, so now only you know about it."

"You can pretend to compromise and let Chu Jinghong's disarmament policy be passed, and on the surface, you have to show your anger about disarmament."

"The key is to let everyone know that you think a big change is about to happen, and disarmament is a foolish policy at this time."

"Of course, no one will believe that a big change is about to happen at this time. They will only think that you are clinging to power and will slander you in various ways."

"You can even secretly let people push this slander Add fuel to the flames and let it spread throughout the entire Southern Region."

"But the key is still that, while promoting slander, you must continue to publicize your judgment that a big change will happen."

"It doesn't matter whether people believe it or not. What matters is to plant a seed in people's hearts and let it take root and sprout."

"Until the Lord comes, the news of the exhaustion of spiritual energy will shake the Southern Region."

"At that time, all the slander and defamation will turn into worship of you, and everyone will think you are far-sighted."

"And in troubled times, everyone needs a far-sighted leader, so that more and more people will support you."

"On the contrary, Chu Jinghong's prestige will be severely damaged because he did not anticipate the great changes and forcibly promoted disarmament."

"That way, you should be able to plunder part of his national destiny and destiny fruit first, making you stronger than him."

"Taoist Priest, you always bring me good news every time you come here."

Zhou Yuniang said happily: "If I can rob part of the national destiny and destiny, I will have an even greater advantage in future battles."

"Well, I'll leave the Southern Territory to you. I hope you can ascend to the throne of the Lieyang Empire and completely control the Southern Territory."

Zhao Mu said: "I have also laid a plan in the land of the Northern Territory Monster Clan, and I will gradually control the Northern Territory Monster Clan."

"If given a short enough time, we can gather the power of the Northern and Southern Territories and continue to encroach on the Divine Land of the Eastern Territory and the Western Territory."

"But if spiritual energy exhaustion comes early, we can also gather the power of the two domains to fight against it."

Zhou Yuniang was filled with shock when she heard this.

She never expected that Taoist Wan Yu would actually have plans in the land of the demon clan in the Northern Territory?

While the two were talking, Yun Zhilan suddenly knocked on the door: "Taoist Master Wan Yu, sister, there is news from the Beehive."

"Come in." Zhou Yuniang said.

Yun Zhilan opened the door and walked in holding a jade slip of phantom light.

"Lan'er, who is the message for?"

"Back to sister, it's Mr. Mo He, the master of the hive, who specially sent it to Taoist Master Wan Yu."

"For me?"

Zhao Mu took the Huanguang Jade Slip and looked at its contents with his spiritual mind. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the Lord want to see me?"

"Master?" Zhou Yuniang and Yun Zhilan were surprised.

"Um!"

Zhao Mu nodded: "Do you remember that before Chu Jinghong ripened the Destiny Dao Fruit, a master came to the Southern Territory and asked Mo He to destroy Chu Jinghong's plan?"

"Of course I remember that the master promised to reward Mo He at that time, but in the end there was no news."

Zhou Yuniang was confused: "Did that master come back again and send a message to Taoist Master through Mr. Mohe?"
