Xiluo is located in the southwest of the entire continent, bordering on the territory of Dongyue, Nanchu, and Beizhou, and the bordering areas are all towering mountains.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the humid monsoon from the northwest in spring and the cold southeast wind in winter rarely enter Xiluo, resulting in year-round drought and severe desertification in Xiluo, especially in the southwest of the country. desert.Therefore, most of Xiluo's people live near the mountains, relying on the lakes and rivers formed by melting icebergs to obtain water.

Although Xiluo is arid and barren, it is rich in resources. The territory is rich in various ores, especially iron ore and gold.Three-quarters of the continent's iron ore and two-thirds of the gold mines come from the country.

Such rich resources naturally attract the coveted eyes of the other three countries. Fortunately, the living environment in Xiluo is harsh, the folk customs are tough, the territory is densely populated with martial arts sects, and the royal family is supported by nine powerful martial arts families. If you want to conquer Xiluo It's not easy for Luo, if you don't pay attention, you will be conquered by him.

The capital of Xiluo is called Yinyue City. It is located in the high mountains to the northeast of Xiluo. It is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is a huge lake in the center of the city. The world calls it Yinyue Lake.

On the south side of Yinyue Lake, there is a group of palaces built on the mountain. This is the palace of Xiluo.On the east side of Yinyue Lake, there are many magnificent mansions along the lake. This is where the officials and nobles of Xiluoda live.To the west of Yinyue Lake is the busiest neighborhood in Xiluo, full of people and crowds.The north side of Yinyue Lake is no longer as grand and prosperous as the other three sides. It is a bit dilapidated and old. This is the settlement of the lower class, and there are all kinds of religions and streams.

It is worth mentioning that the royal family of Xiluo is special. It is different from the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The monarch of Xiluo is called emperor, has a title, and calls himself "Zhen", which makes Xie Lu very unimaginable.Xiluo is mainly nomadic, and the folk customs are fierce and fierce, and there is no foundation for the emperor to enshrine the Zen civilization. How can such a title appear?

The customs of martial arts in Xiluo have nourished many martial arts sects and aristocratic families. These sects and aristocratic families have been fighting all year round and are very chaotic.For this reason, the folks have also created a semi-official ranking list, ranking the major forces.

There are nine worth mentioning in this list:

The first Luoxia Mountain Villa

Luoxia Mountain Villa is located in the north, guarding the major passages between Xiluo and Beizhou. It is famous for its superb marksmanship - "Gu Wen Spear".

The owner of the estate, He Songfeng, has three children, the eldest son He Zimo is born, the second son He Zijing is born, and the eldest daughter He Zimin is born.

He Songfeng's younger sister, He Tanyan, is Empress Xiluo, and she has a prince Yin Luoyun.Although the queen passed away early, the current king of Xiluo, Emperor Guangwen, Yin Feili still took good care of the prince.

Relying on this relationship, Luoxia Villa has often been ranked first in the aristocratic family for many years. He Songfeng himself has a good character, a low-key person, and outstanding talents.

Therefore, the first place of Luoxia Mountain Villa is well deserved.

The second place is Tianshui Sujia

The Su family in Tianshui is located in the southwest of Xiluo, close to the famous Death Realm, which is where the ancient miracles are located.

The Su family of Tianshui has always been low-key, and their untold skill "Tian Yi Yi Shui" is a wonderful whipping method. It is said that when the Su family helped the ancestors of the Xiluo royal family to create an imperial career, this whipping method could stop the emperor in the desert. Thousands of troops.

The low profile of the Su family makes most of its family members not to be judged by the world, and the only one who walks around in this world is the second son of the patriarch, Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen and Chen Wang Yin Qiuli have a good relationship. In Xiluo, the emperor's younger brother and the emperor's heirs have the same inheritance rights. Yin Qiuli is also a member of the army that cannot be underestimated.

Unlike Luoxia Mountain Villa, which fully supports the prince, the Su family in Tianshui has never expressed their position on the matter of seizing the heir.Su Jingchen is just a bastard, and the reason for coming out is to travel. Whoever he befriends does not represent the attitude of the Su family in Tianshui.

The third place is Flying Star Valley

Flying Star Valley is located in a natural valley to the northeast of Xiluo. The valley is like spring all the year round, like a paradise.

Flying Star Valley's famous stunt is a set of palm techniques, named "Luoying Colorful", which sounds gentle and melodious, but in fact it is extremely powerful and powerful, which is very popular.

The ancestors of Flying Star Valley once swept Xiluo with this set of palm techniques, and all the major families followed suit.It's a pity that the descendants are not good enough. The current head of the family is confused and sentimental. The wife passed away sadly. Before the coffin was dropped, he was hanging out with the concubine's room in the backyard.

The legitimate son Lu Jianyu resented his father's actions, gave up his innate advantages and gave up on himself, so that no one in Flying Star Valley can use this set of palms.The status of Flying Star Valley also plummeted.

Flying Star Valley was unexpectedly clever in the matter of seizing the heir, and never expressed his position on it, but instead alienated the court on the grounds that his son was incompetent.

The fourth place is Liuyun Villa

Liuyun Villa is located in the southeast of Xiluo, adjacent to Nanchu.His famous stunt is a set of swordsmanship called "Liuyun Sword".

There are many sects and aristocratic families who use swords in Xiluo, and Liuyunjian is not the best among them. The reason why Liuyun Villa can be ranked high is because of its good management.

The owner, Lin Muyun, and his adopted son, Lin Mo, are both top-notch people.The two are sociable, have unique eyesight, and are able to meet each other. Many aristocratic families in Xiluo all praise Liuyun Villa.

It's a pity that Lin Muyun has a spoiled daughter. Lin Wan'er is arrogant and self-righteous by nature.Previously, Liuyun Villa had a good relationship with Chen Wang Yin Qiuli, and Lin Wan'er felt that the position of Chen Wangfei belonged to her, but she didn't know that Yin Qiuli married a male princess, Lin Wan'er was immediately annoyed, and the princess came to demonstrate and stabbed him within a month. princess.

This made Yin Qiuli very angry!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the male princess is just a cover, and there must be a countermeasure in the future.Lin Wan'er was so stupid that she couldn't help but lament that Lin Muyun was a wise and brilliant man, and he had no way to teach his children.

Lin Wan'er's actions made the friendship between Liuyun Villa and Chen Wang Yin Qiuli disappear for many years.Lin Muyun is also a ruthless character. Since Yin Qiuli can't go this way, he will go the way of the prince, and send Lin Wan'er to the prince's mansion as a side concubine, and show his loyalty by the way.

How could Lin Wan'er be willing to be a side concubine, relying on the crown prince's love and encouragement many times, but the position of crown princess is not up to the crown prince to decide.The emperor has long had a favorite person in his heart, no matter how you look at it, He Zimin, the eldest daughter of Luoxia Villa, should be sitting in this seat.

It's a pity that the crown prince is disobedient, and his preference is useless. On the one hand, he forcibly rejects He Zimin, and on the other hand, he dotes on Lin Wan'er. For a while, there are many conflicts between Luoxia Villa and Liuyun Villa.In turn, it also made the prince who had greatly increased his power have momentum but no strength.

The reason why I want to talk more about Liuyun Villa is because when Qingxiang was sent to Xiluo as an envoy to Xiluo, he accidentally discovered a top-secret news: Lin Chu, the male concubine of Chen Wang Yin Qiuli, was originally a disciple of Liuyun Villa.There are likely to be many secret entanglements between them, otherwise Lin Wan'er would not be so arrogant and indulgent.

A family of five to eight figures needs no introduction.

The four families of Jianmen, Muwanlou, Qingxuege, and Lanyuelou are all assistants and important ministers of the current Emperor Guangwen of Xiluo when he ascended the throne. All four families have daughters who enter the palace as concubines, and all have princes.Except for the eldest son Yin Luoqi who died early, the remaining three are evenly matched.

The three princes usually kept a low profile, and the focus of Xiluo's seizure of the throne was between the prince and Prince Chen, and the three of them were just running with them.But if both the crown prince and the king of Chen are hurt, then the three of them will be able to achieve a lot. Therefore, the seemingly low-key three of them actually make small moves frequently.

The ninth family is called Qiushui Wujian

Strictly speaking, Qiushui Wujian is not an aristocratic family, but a sect.It has existed since the founding of Xiluo.The sect is so secretive that it is almost invisible.It will be known to the world because the head of the sect is not inherited, but was secretly searched by his disciples.No one knows the standards of the head of the sect, only that the change of head of the sect usually occurs when the prince wins the throne.

Everyone in the world is good at associating, and such a weird changing time makes people think that this sect has something to do with Seizing the Inheritance.It's a pity that not to mention the head of the sect, not even the disciples have seen it, so no one knows how authentic it is.

The only thing that is well known to the world is that no matter how the rankings change, Qiushui Wujian has always been on the rankings and has never dropped.

Therefore, Wujian Qiushui became the third purpose of Carassilo's trip. He suspected that Wujian Qiushui might be a mysterious organization that was secretly working.

Jing Xun Zhenyao and others are very clear about the basic situation of Xiluo, and they are also focusing on the strangeness of Yin Qiuli's marriage to the male princess.

Just as Kara and Jing Xun judged before the trip to the tribe, this is a chess game that retreats to advance, but unfortunately the chess misses a move and is used by those who want to use the trick to push them into desperation. The betrayal of Liuyun Villa is the biggest prove.

At that time, Qingxiang was ordered to lobby Xiluo, and had a better understanding of the situation in Xiluo, and also conducted related investigations on Yin Qiuli himself.

The result was very surprising, Yin Qiuli ignored the changes in the situation, and wholeheartedly lived with the princess behind closed doors, especially after Lin Wan'er accidentally injured the princess, he didn't even take a step forward.

Facing Qingxiang's arrival, other princes expressed their opinions, but Yin Qiuli didn't care at all.This made all the old foxes in Xiluo realize Yin Qiuli's power, and believed that there must be someone behind the surface.

Therefore, the key point of the trip to Xiluo discussed by everyone in Wangshu Palace at this moment is to rank Yin Qiuli first.

Is it possible to win over such a powerful figure?

If so!By what means?How long can it last after being drawn in?

If not!This person is the opponent, what are the chances of winning against him?

This question is very difficult to answer. Everyone expresses their opinions and predicts various risks and possibilities of success, but no one dares to make an absolute judgment on any idea.

In the end, Kara simply stopped talking about this topic, and he brought up another topic: Seizing the heir is a very difficult thing, and if you are not careful, you will end up dead.Under such a dangerous situation, Yin Qiuli's ability to be so calm must have some absolute advantage, but looking at the territory of Xiluo, there is no single force that has an absolute advantage, and looking at the history of Xiluo, there is no absolute advantage lurking in the dark. dominant force.

Then what would prompt Yin Qiuli to take such an attitude?

When Kara raised this topic, everyone didn't know how to answer it, but they vaguely felt that the answer would not be limited to the political level.

Sure enough, Kara continued: "There is a curse in the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Will there be similar unexplainable things in Xiluo?"

Everyone was silent. They were all pragmatists, and their imaginations were not as wild as Kara's. Kara's associations were not within their consideration at all.

Among the crowd, Jing Xun's way of thinking is closer to Kara's. He has been tortured by the incredible thing of the royal family's curse for many years, and his imagination of things is far richer than others. Hearing what Kara said, he remembered something.

"When Brother Wang was still around, the two of us liked to collect anecdotes from various countries, hoping to find a trace in the anecdotes to unravel the curse. There are many anecdotes and anecdotes in Xiluo, and the most amazing thing is a mysterious inner strength The mental method, named "Sun and Moon in the Sky", is said to have been brought down from the heaven by the ancient gods. At that time, the world was full of wildness, and the gods decided to pass on this set of mental methods to human beings in order to educate human beings.

The legend of the mind method is not surprising. Many aristocratic families in Xiluo like to get along with the gods. The strange thing is the cultivation and function of the mind method.It is said that Xinfa is extremely picky about the aptitude of the practitioner, and once selected, it will not choose another person in this world until the practitioner dies.And the role of the mental method is not to stand alone in the martial arts world, but to assist the emperor, whoever wins it will win the world! "

After Jing Xun finished speaking, everyone immediately thought of Kara's hypothesis, could it be this thing?

Kara looked around at everyone, and there was a meaning in her eyes: seizing the heir is not a child's play, how can a cultivator make a final decision, do you believe it?

Everyone shook their heads after thinking for a long time. Compared with the curse of the Northern Zhou royal family, there are many more factors related to the seizure of the heir. If only one person can win the world, how powerful is that person?

Jing Xun also said with a smile: "I don't believe it either, but Brother Wang believes it. I have investigated it, and there is really no clue to prove the existence of this matter." The process of this matter is also very miraculous. When we were young, Brother Wang and I also wanted to go to the land of miracles to find clues to the curse, but unfortunately the desert is ruthless, and we lost our way within a few days. When water and food ran out, A walker in the desert rescued us, and the walker talked about it when the three of us were sitting around the fire."

Kara's eyes suddenly darkened. How dare a walker take the matter of seizing the heirloom as a talking point and make up discussions at will?Is it really so stupid to think that the person you meet by chance in the vast floating world will not pass on what he said to the world?Kara felt strange, so she asked, "Master Sima, do you still remember the characteristics of Xing Zhe?"

Jing Xun nodded, he had a deep impression on this point, one is the savior, and the other is that the other party is really outstanding, and said: "A gentleman is like jade, dignified and gentle."

This is by no means a characteristic of desert walkers. Kara's doubts about this matter have already been established: "Xiluo has four purposes for this trip: the land of miracles, the emperor Yin Qiuli, the autumn waters without streams, and the sun and the moon in the sky! Your Majesty on the trip of miracles There is already a detailed plan, Chen Wang Yin Qiuli needs to be approached cautiously, Qiu Shui Wujian doesn't want to be thoroughly investigated, as long as he can learn a little bit, as for the sun and the moon in the sky, it depends on luck!"

After Kara finished speaking, all the ministers nodded one after another to plan and assign their own duties.

Jing Xun and Zhenyao continued to repeat their old tricks, using the momentum of confrontation to promote the crusade.

This crusade will be assisted by Wei Wei Zhangqing Li Xiao, and Jing Xun will be Chen Bing on the East Vietnam border, in case the other party takes the opportunity to launch an attack.

Canmo is still in charge of the daily operation of Beizhou. Due to his advanced age, Zhenyao needs to share more of the work.

Kara was very satisfied with this, and then specifically explained the reason why they summoned Qingxiang and Hansu to come together.

For this "crusade", Dongyue must guard against it, and Chen Bing's border alone is not enough.East Vietnam is heavy on commerce, driven by the interests of merchants, the army can't play much real role, it can just as well bypass the border and go to the Cangshan Mountains.

At this time, Han Su needs to step in. The main task of his mission to Dongyue last time was to make contact with businessmen who mastered the business.Although the time was very short, Han Zhu completed the task well, and some businessmen did come into contact with him.This time, we need to use these businessmen to create some troubles for Dongyue.

As for the purpose of summoning Qingxiang, it is easier to see. The domestic situation in Xiluo is complicated. Xuanhui Kara and Xie Lu who can only drag back are absolutely unable to take care of everyone. Qingxiang who already knows Xiluo is needed. Xiang went together.

The most important thing is that Qing Xiang can make this guy Xie Lu stop talking nonsense!

The missions of the two are secret, so the missions assigned on the surface are all with the army.

Half a month later, the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded Xiluo, the monarch Xuanhui, the national teacher Kara, the doctor Qingxiang, and the Qin Tianling Shi Xielu sneaked into the territory of Xiluo in disguise.
