"Xinyao, why are you so anxious?"

A warm and calm voice came from the wing in the inner courtyard.

Sitting behind the desk in the wing, Xu Yuan glanced at the door that was pushed open.

The light fell indoors along the eaves of the morning sun. Xu Xinyao, who came to report the news, seemed to be very anxious. Her face turned red and she bowed in front of the door, with her hands on her knees, her bulging chest rising and falling as she panted.

In stark contrast to her, was the calm expression on the face of the young man in the wing.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xu Xinyao raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said quickly:

"Third Brother. Chief Lou couldn't enter the inner courtyard, so she asked me to inform you, Third Brother. She said that Sister Qingmo's master passed away."

When he heard the news, Xu Yuan did not show any panic and said softly:

"Calm down."

"But."

"Brother has already known about the gift box that the imperial court sent to Jianzong."

Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt Xiaosi's anxious tone and said softly: "Although my father has relieved me of all the complicated government affairs these days, he occasionally brings some fragmentary important news, including this A gift from the court.”

When Xu Xinyao heard this, she looked at this old man's expression, and saw that he really didn't show any abnormality, so he hesitated and asked:

"Then third brother, aren't you worried about Sister Qingmo's reaction?"

Xu Yuan put down the ancient book "Black Scale" in his hand gently, pondered for a moment, and said softly:

"Of course I'm worried, but the love between children always seems insignificant in the face of important matters such as family and country."

"." Xu Xinyao blinked her eyes, a little worried.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Xin Yao, as my brother, was the one who personally handed over the Immortal Letter of Equal Tax. There is no longer any reason to dissuade my father from doing this, because this is a warning to all the sects in the world - disrespecting the government orders. Those who are killed will be killed without mercy!”

Xu Xinyao's gentle and kind nature made her unable to accept this statement, and she lightly pursed her red lips:

"Just because...a warning?"

Xu Yuan shook his head, pointed to the opposite side of the document, and motioned for Xu Xinyao to sit down:

"Of course not,

"Send the broken legs to Jian Zong,

"Inside the court, being able to confirm that Ran Jianli died in Beishou will put the royal family in a difficult position and strengthen the bond between them and my Prime Minister's Mansion to a certain extent.

"In the Zongmeng, although the news of Ran Jianli's death will shatter many sects' dreams of appeasement to the court, it will intensify the conflict between the top level of the Zongmeng - Jiantian Pavilion and the Tianyuan Sword Sect."

Xu Xinyao sat down timidly.

Now, she has chosen to escape reality because her original ideal was completely shattered.

She didn't want to hear anymore about the important matters of family and country.

But now that the third brother talked to her, she still chose to answer:

"You mean, Jiantian Pavilion will definitely use this to cause trouble?"

Xu Yuan nodded and said quietly:

"Yes, but Ran Jianli's death is not a one-sided issue. His dignity made the whole matter as complicated as a spider web.

"On the one hand, Ran Jianli's death will indeed weaken the Sword Sect's voice. Compared with the sect world, in the Dynasty world, although the voice of the power does not pay much attention to the level of personal cultivation, there are saints sitting in the sect. After all, there are still some differences between sects without saints.

“But on the other hand, it will put the Sword Sect above the absolute righteousness of the Clan Alliance.

"After all, in a sense, Ran Jianli is considered the king of the country. If anyone else wants to use this to seize his position as the leader of the clan alliance, they will be ignoring the righteousness of the clan alliance!"

When Xu Xinyao heard the word "righteousness" coming from Xu Yuan's mouth, he hesitated and said:

"Third brother, is righteousness really useful?"

Xu Xinyao is a conservative woman at heart. The righteous rules of long order, respect and inferiority actually have an indelible weight in her heart. However, people will always change with the environment. The time spent hanging out with Xu Yuan, an old man who has no etiquette and no joy. She has grown up, and now she no longer believes in the role of those righteousnesses:

"You have said it yourself before that the essence of righteousness is the shackles placed by the strong on the weak. Once the strength of the strong declines, the power of righteousness will definitely fall aside."

Xu Yuan was slightly surprised, but still explained:

"That may be because I didn't express it clearly just now. The great meaning I just mentioned refers to the life gate of the clan alliance.

"Every force has its destiny. This is the foundation of their country. Once it is lost, its destruction may not be far away."

"To give a few examples, if the life gate of the Great Yan royal family is the bloodline that has been continued for thousands of years by the royal family, and our prime minister's house is the father's personal life, then the life gate of the clan alliance is this great righteousness."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan chuckled helplessly and said:

"With the power of Jiantian Pavilion and the woman surnamed Wen, we can certainly use their strength to force the Sword Sect to hand over power after losing its saint, but the price is that the clan alliance will lose the foundation of "founding the country" - trust as delicate as straw. "

"Trust?" Xu Xinyao murmured.

Xu Yuan lightly knocked on the edge of the table and said:

"Ran Jianli used his life and flesh to create a wake-up call for the sect alliance, but the Sword Sect still ended up with power left to the side. What do you think the other sects will think?

"Any military formation in the Black Lin Army can move forward regardless of life and death because of an order from my father, but the sect alliance cannot. They are just a loose alliance. If Jianzong learns from the past, other sects will really Dare you risk your life for it?”

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Xin Yao, this is an unsolvable conspiracy set by my father for the clan alliance."

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao subconsciously asked:

"What if Jiantian Pavilion does not choose..."

Halfway through her words, she swallowed the rest of her words.

Her innocence was gone.

So it was clear that even if the master of Jiantian Pavilion knew the interests involved, he had to fight for the leader of the sect, because even if the master did not fight, his supporters would force him to that position.

With the war approaching, there can only be one voice to set the tone within the sect alliance.

Otherwise, when the war really comes, facing the two monsters of the royal family and the prime minister's mansion that have centralized power to the extreme, any internal disagreements, struggles, and infighting will become the reason for a crushing defeat.

But the problem is

According to the plan of my father and my third brother, neither Jianzong nor Jiantian Pavilion can subdue the other in a short time.

Thinking of this,

Xu Xinyao subconsciously looked at Xu Yuan and asked cautiously:

"Third brother. Can only one of Jiantian Pavilion and Jianzong survive?"

"."

Xu Yuan was a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

As expected of a scientific research master, this little Si has a good brain.

In such a short time, he directly analyzed one of the reasons why Tianyuan Sword Sect was destroyed in "Cangyuan".

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan slowly stood up from the chair, rubbed his long hair behind his head, and said with a sigh:

"Xinyao, there are talents in every country.

"Even my father almost became a knife in the hands of those hidden sects."
