Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

People are only one aspect. In addition to people, Lingwu City's wealth is also at the forefront of the northern land.

The vast Wujiang River system means that although Lingwu City is just a city, it has transportation conveniences that are unmatched by other states and counties. It is adjacent to three states and can travel vertically and horizontally.

The wealth earned through shipping alone is an astronomical figure every year.

What's more, the dense population, circulating commodities, large amounts of funds, and powerful warriors further stimulate currency circulation.

It is precisely because of the special status of Lingwu City that the personnel sent by these thirteen forces settled here.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary city have so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers?

If there are people and money, there is a strong potential for war.

Even from a military perspective, its status is a battleground for military strategists, guarding the main roads of the three states, who dares to despise it?

In the past, due to the special nature of Lingwu City, neither outsiders nor locals had a deep understanding of the true potential of Lingwu City. They mostly focused on their own little land.

Now that the head of the Zhuo family mentioned it like this, everyone followed this idea and thought deeply, and suddenly understood the status and energy of Lingwu City.

Some smart people even drew inferences from one example and guessed why the imperial court wanted to form a government army at this time.

Regardless of whether they want to mobilize troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, at least Lingwu City, which has strong war potential, must be in the hands of the royal family.

The south is already in chaos, the north cannot be in chaos, and with the terrifying potential of Lingwu City, if it is used by someone with intentions, it will cause some rebellion. Although the harm is far less than that of the southern rebels supported by the Li family, it is still enough for the Yong Dynasty. Drink a pot.

Therefore, as Na Beitangang said, the purpose of establishing the government army is to nip problems in the bud.

Moreover, if the government troops formed by the major forces are really transferred to the south to suppress the rebellion, the losses will be unpredictable. Even if they can really win, I am afraid that they will be beaten by meat buns and there will be no return.

The stability of the dynasty was maintained, but their interests were harmed. This was something they found difficult to accept.

Beitangang was stunned for a moment and saw that many people in the main hall had evil eyes. He immediately knew that moving the army to the south had exceeded the bottom line of many people's hearts, so he quickly explained,

"Master Zhuo has misunderstood. The imperial court has its own arrangements to deal with the chaos in the south, and it is done with ease. It has no intention of moving this army to the south. You can rest assured of this. I guarantee it as a member of the royal family."

The head of the Zhuo family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, even if he recruited experienced warriors from various families to form the government army, it would be difficult to put them to use without a period of training.

Furthermore, the north and south are too far apart, and the army moves from north to south, which poses a great challenge to the baggage and logistics. Some of the gains outweigh the losses. It is true that he was too nervous.

The head of the Zhuo family was dismissed, and the head of the Ding family stood up again and questioned,

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me. As you just said, the formation of the government army is to resist crises and nip them in the bud. Is it possible that someone else wants to do harm to our Lingwu City?

Furthermore, there are many masters in Lingwu City and the martial arts prevails. If there is a crisis, everyone can be called together by you, the prince, like today, to discuss and solve the problem, and by working together, we will be able to get through the crisis safely.

Establishing a government army is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is really not a good choice. Please think again. "

In the hearts of many people, you are the prince, you are great and powerful, but you can't just rely on an unfounded crisis to mobilize people, right?

Furthermore, what the leader of the Ding family said is absolutely true. It is far better to maintain the status quo than to form the government army to deal with the crisis. If an enemy does appear, and everyone gathers together to think about countermeasures, the government army may not be missing.

Beitangang didn't look very good at this time. He was criticized again and again, and he couldn't stand it no matter how good his temper was.

At this time, the prince Beitang He, who had been silently beside him, took a step forward and said a few words in Beitang Ang's ear. Beitang Ang nodded, turned around and said to everyone present,

"I am not good at words and my words are unclear. Let me, my child, answer your questions."

The prince was very free and easy, and immediately threw the blame on his son.

Beitang He stood up at the right time, with a slender and straight figure, a jade tree facing the wind, a cool and majestic temperament, and a handsome appearance. He was really an outstanding good man.

He has no stage fright at all, and his own cultivation is not at the peak of acquired skills. Facing these many strong men in the hall, his face does not change and he says in a deep voice,

"Everyone, what my father just said is not alarmist, but the court has sources of information for a long time.

It describes the rise of two major organizations in the folk world, with terrifying strength, ambition, and fear of disaster.

One is the Commoner League, which is extremely mysterious and powerful, and gathers talented people from all over the world.

Moreover, this force has always been hostile to the nobles of the Dayong family, and even the powerful sects.

Many people were assassinated, including high-ranking officials and generals of Dayong.

If it was just an assassination, that would be enough. What is even more terrifying is that this commoner alliance also resorted to subterfuge.

Just a few months ago, news came that the second son of Leizhou Yongning Count had been replaced by the master Yi Rong sent by the Commoner League, and he had been ambitious to seize the Yongning Earlship.

If it hadn't been for a moment of carelessness that revealed a flaw and was discovered by Uncle Yong Ning, no one would have discovered this secret until now.

You probably don't know that the second son of Uncle Yongning was ordered by the emperor twelve years ago to go to Da Ci'en Temple with thirty-five other noble children from aristocratic families to chant sutras and pray for me, Dayong, to resolve disasters.

After their merits were fulfilled, the emperor established these thirty-six aristocratic children as Tiangang Guards. They had a high status, their grades were comparable to those of the third rank in the dynasty, and they were given many palace treasures.

More than two years ago, on the way back to Leizhou, the second son of Yongning Bo was killed and replaced. He lurked for two years before he was discovered.

After this incident was exposed, the imperial court was furious, made a decisive decision, blocked the news, and sent people to secretly investigate the thirty-six forces.

Eight more cases of package swapping were discovered one after another, and the relevant personnel have been taken in for interrogation.

It can be seen that this commoner alliance has caused great harm. "

This news is very novel to everyone here. Leizhou is located in the west of the Central Plains of China, far away from the Northland, and few people pay attention to the news.

If Bei Tanghe hadn't told him, no one would have known that the second son of an earl was actually replaced by someone in disguise. This is really a strange thing.

What's more, this is not a special case. There are eight other children who have been betrayed later. It's terrifying if you think about it carefully.

In fact, the existence of the art of disguise is not uncommon, and there are countless masters who know how to disguise themselves.

However, it is a bit incredible to be able to actually replace it and still be able to lurk for two years without being discovered.

However, if we think about it again, these people who were transferred have left the family for ten years and have not returned. Even if they are blood relatives, they will inevitably be alienated and unfamiliar, which is not impossible.

To be familiar with people, you don’t just look at their faces, you also have to look at the details and habits of their daily lives.

Faces can be deceiving, but habits cannot.

Even the habits are unclear, which naturally increases the difficulty of seeing through the disguise.
