Chapter 279 Watch together?

  If the proportion of cultivators in Dayan can really reach such a level, then it may really be called a half-human fairy dynasty.

  But unfortunately,

  The top officials of the Dynasty, including his father, do not want to see this situation happen.

  at least,

  I don’t want to for now.

   And in this silence,

  Bai Muxi looked at the two visitors from the ground with strange expressions, and asked softly:

   “Your Excellency, is there anything wrong with the cultivators in our seven cities?”

  Returning to his senses, looking at this slender woman with fair skin like a blood race in her previous life, Xu Yuan smiled and replied:

  ”No, I just think it’s really not easy for you to keep such a large number of cultivators after thousands of years.”

  His words were somewhat condescending.

  Bai Muxi didn’t care, the red lips under the tulle smiled slightly:

   “Survive wherever.”

   After all, she asked politely:

   “Since the two of you have finished asking, can it be my turn?”

  ”Of course.” Xu Yuan agreed.

  Bai Muxi’s beautiful eyes flickered, she paused for a moment, and asked directly:

   “Do you two have official status in the Great Yan Dynasty outside?”

  “.”

  Hearing this question, Xu Yuan had strange eyes.

  Li Qingyan has always referred to himself as Bengong, this kind of self-proclaimed, this woman can’t hear it?

  It seems that after ten thousand years, there are still serious faults in this underground civilization.

  Think for a moment,

   “I don’t have one.”

  Xu Yuan replied directly, then glanced at Li Qingyan, and asked, “Do you have official status?”

  Li Qingyan gave him a blank look:

   “How can I be an official?”

  Xu Yuan pouted at the female Si Ming who covered her face with a light veil when she heard the words:

   “Well, she doesn’t either.”

  Bai Muxi looked at the extraordinary Li Qingyan, frowned, with suspicion in her eyes:

   “Really not?”

   “Is this a problem?”

  Xu Yuan smiled and asked back, every word:

   “Still, Si Ming, you don’t believe us?”

  “.”

  Bai Muxi took a deep look at this unscrupulously handsome man who only had soul-condensing cultivation, lowered his posture, closed his sleeves and bowed again:

   “I naturally believe what you said, so to change the question, can you tell me the status of the two of you?”

   “It’s simple, she is the princess of the dynasty, and I am the third son of the prime minister.”

  Xu Yuan paused without hesitation, and added: “As for the status, her and I should be quite high in the Yan Dynasty.”

  “.”

  Silence.

  Bai Muxi glanced back and forth at the two people with clear positions, and the puzzlement in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed.

  In terms of status, she is nobler than him, and in terms of cultivation, it is even more different.

  Why does this woman obey this man?

  But these are not important. If what this man said is true, then the Seven Cities of Karst Cave can really be saved.

  However, she has to confirm one more thing.

  Thinking, Bai Muxi restrained her thoughts, bowed and saluted:

   “I still have a question, and I hope to answer it.”

   “Ask.”

   “Did you two enter our underground palace on purpose?”

  “.”

  Directly pointing to the core problem.

  If so, with the reinforcements of the Great Yan Dynasty on the ground, nearly 400,000 people in the underground palace could be saved.

  If not, then these two people will be of no benefit to her, they are both trapped in this underground palace.

   As for this question, Xu Yuan did not rush to answer, but glanced at Bai Muxi with great interest.

  Bai Muxi’s gauze dress was lightly folded, she was slim and graceful, her eyes were clear and calm.

  Li Qingyan stood aside, also a little interested in whether the dead man would use lies to squeeze the female commander.

  For a while,

  He spit out two words:

   “No.”

  The words fall,

  Bai Muxi’s eyes flashed with sadness for a moment, but his crisp voice remained unchanged, still polite:

   “I know, the two came from a long way, so the six officials in the shrine will take the two of you down to rest for a night, and we will talk again”

   “Hello.”

  Xu Yuan interrupted Bai Muxi’s words, and asked with a smile: “Master Si Ming, have you forgotten that you still owe us a question.”

  “.”

  Bai Muxi was silent for a few breaths, no emotion could be seen in her calm eyes, she cupped her hands and asked:

   “Please.”

   “Do you want to go out?”

  ”What?” The calmness in Bai Muxi’s eyes broke in an instant.

  Xu Yuan stepped forward, squinted his eyes and raised his hand, and lightly tapped in the middle of the gully in the gauze of the female commander:

   “I ask, do you… want to go out?”

  The residence arranged by the Underground Shrine for Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan is a stone palace.

  According to the laws of the underground, Bai Muxi arranged a room for each of them at the beginning and lived separately, but Xu Yuan had no intention of following the Romans’ customs at all.

   It’s not that he wants to sleep with Li Qingyan, but mainly because he lives alone. He’s afraid of being attacked by Bai Muxi at night, it’s too unsafe.

  The palace is very large, and several load-bearing stone pillars carved with strange giant beasts support the four-foot-high roof. It is magnificent and has the style of a palace.

  The layout is also contrary to the dilapidation seen in this dungeon.

  It is common in Dayan, but it should be considered extremely luxurious in this underground palace.

  A large wooden bed is located in the middle, with cotton bed blankets, tulle bed curtains, wooden table futons, yarn-woven screens, and even a strange-looking wooden tea set.

  Some special green plants in the ground emit glowing blue light in the darkness of the hall, embellishing the darkness like starlight, illuminating the entire hall.

  It seems that the underground also has the output of these living materials, but the output is very small, and can only be used for the top floor of the cave dungeon.

  There is really a class gap everywhere.

  But Xu Yuan didn’t care much about these things.

  The materials extorted from Zongmen and Li Yunqing are now in his Sumeru Ring.

  The moment he entered the hall, Xu Yuan’s gaze was immediately attracted by the appearance of the sculpture in the deepest part of the palace.

  That is a hideous ghost.

  In the blink of an eye, Li Qingyan’s laughing voice suddenly sounded from his side:

   “I found out that you seem to like to touch women’s chests when you talk?”

  Xu Yuan came back to his senses, looked at her indifferent eyes, and asked with a smile unconsciously:

   “If Qingyan feels jealous, I can order you too.”

   “Virtue.”

  Li Qingyan snorted softly: “Although I understand Changtian’s character, I should not make such unnecessary offenses. Are you doing it for the jewel on her chest?”

  Xu Yuan bowed his hands in a bachelor’s hand, and said hey:

  ”His Royal Highness is really smart, and she has nothing to prove. I have to come up with some evidence to prove that I can take her out. I did that just to mention her and prove that what I said is true.”

  Heard the words,

  Li Qingyan walked slowly to the side of the big bed and sat down. He took off his black robe, and his curves were instantly revealed by the maroon armor. Two slender jade legs were intertwined, and he looked at him with his chin propped up:

   “How did you find out about that jade pendant?”

   “The remnant soul of the saint in the soul ring.”

  Xu Yuan threw the pot away again, and before Li Qingyan could speak, he changed the subject first, pointing to the sculpture of the strange ghost in the depths:

   “It looks like this palace was not very clean before. With the strange ghost sculptures and the weird beasts on the stone pillars, this palace is definitely a sacrificial place.”

  ”From the words of the female commander just now, I should be able to hear that there has been a coup here.”

  Li Qingyan’s voice was flat, and he raised his legs and swayed gently, and his voice was very soft: “One city sacrifices two hundred people every year, and you can get away with it. In a desperate situation, the former “sacrifice” is likely to be used Worshiping evil things to stabilize the rule, just like those snowfield barbarians who preached that after the death in battle, the souls would return to their ancestor gods.”

  Speaking of which,

  Li Qingyan tapped her fair face with her slender index finger, squinted and smiled, and asked:

   “Long Tian, ​​what did you think of?”

  “.”

  Looking at each other silently, then smiling again.

  Xu Yuan walked up to Li Qingyan and sat down, slowly:

  “The coup is either for power or to realize one’s own ideals.

  ”The aliens in the Gorefiend’s Cave are almost crushing and powerful to the humans in this cave dungeon. If they launch a coup for the former, they may be wiped out at any time.”

  ”The newly appointed female commander either has some clues to get out.

  ”Either she discovered that there was a change in the White Walker’s lair, and if she didn’t make any changes, the so-called “Seven Cities Alliance” would be slaughtered by the White Walkers!”

   After a pause, Xu Yuan embraced Li Qingyan’s shoulder, looked sideways and smiled:

   “Qingyan, am I right?”

  Hearing this, Li Qingyan leaned on his shoulder, bent his eyes and smiled lightly:

   “You’re pretty smart, too.”

  Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan and shook his head:

   “But a woman who is too smart is not attractive.”

  Li Qingyan sipped her lips, blinked her phoenix eyes:

   “Then how about I pretend to be a fool in front of Chang Tian in the future?”

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:

   “It has been said that you are not suitable for cute expressions.”

  Speaking,

  Xu Yuan glanced at the sculpture deep in the palace:

  ”If it’s the former, there’s a high probability that Si Ming doesn’t have a lot of information, and she might not be sure, otherwise she wouldn’t treat me with that attitude just now.

  ”If it’s the latter, then we are the only driftwood that can save her life when she is drowning.”

  “.”

  Li Qingyan stopped joking, sat up straight, and looked at Xu Yuan seriously:

   “Tell me the truth, how sure are you of your plan?”

  Seeing her expression, Xu Yuan instantly knew what she wanted to do:

   “Do you want to use the 7,000 cultivators in this cave dungeon to train soldiers in this underground palace?”

  “.”

  Li Qingyan was silent for a while, and then choked out a sentence:

  ”A man who is too smart is not attractive.”

  Xu Yuan thought for a moment, then said:

   “Okay, tell me what you think.”

  Li Qingyan nodded, and said in a low voice:

   “The two of us have plenty of supplies in Xumijie. At least three months, at most half a year, we should have the power to fight. At that time, my palace can use the army to kill through the entire underground palace.”

   “No, it’s too long.”

  Xu Yuan denied her idea: “The risk of your plan is no less than mine.”

  Li Qingyan’s phoenix eyes drooped, and her voice was low:

   “The barbarian king?”

   “Yes.”

  Xu Yuan nodded and looked straight into Li Qingyan’s eyes: “The barbarian king has brought too many changes. The Beifeng army has left you, and your deputy commander, Mr. Zong, has also begun to go south. Urgent, but the current barbarian king will definitely do everything possible to get out, and a strong man like him is scurrying around in this kind of cave, and it is very likely that we will find our karst cave dungeon on the outskirts.”

  After the words fell, the hall fell into silence.

  After a while,

  Li Qingyan said quietly:

   “Listen to you.”

  ”Don’t worry, I will try my best to get us out.”

   After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan raised his hand to touch her head to appease her, but the princess directly raised her hand to open it.

  She stared at him:

   “I don’t like people touching my head.”

  Xu Yuan rubbed his wrist and joked:

   “The commander’s order doesn’t work either?”

  Li Qingyan ignored him, and sighed in a low voice:

   “It’s a pity for the seven thousand cultivators in this cave dungeon. I have just investigated them. These people’s foundations are not bad, and their aura is extremely strong in the same realm.”

  Xu Yuan smiled slightly, and his voice was very soft:

  ”This is a physique that has been formed for thousands of years underground. It is impossible to ask for, but if the Dayan Dynasty can reach their proportion of cultivators, those monsters in cholera towns should be nothing.”

  Li Qingyan’s full body was slightly undulating, exhaled, calmed down, and said with a smile:

  ”Impossible, it has only been more than 20 years since the father and Xu Gong established the martial arts school to teach the way of martial arts, and the exiled martial arts have already begun to cholera.

   “Cultivators are more terrifying to ordinary people than monsters.”

  Xu Yuan smiled in surprise:

   “You have been in the army all year round, and you know about local banditry?”

   “Why doesn’t this palace know?”

  Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan very strangely, and said in a low voice:

  ”In the past, there were many chivalrous groups composed of idle warriors active in Beifeng City. The bloody gangsters are powerful, not to mention those unregistered warriors.”

  Speaking of which,

  Li Qingyan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and his rustling voice was amused:

  ”Moreover, those people actually have the face to call themselves rangers.”

   “It’s not just rangers”

  Xu Yuan smiled, and added softly: “In many counties and counties in the south, martial arts have begun to use the skills they learned from the martial arts hall to open schools and recruit disciples.”

  Li Qingyan’s eyes are weird, she doesn’t know about it after staying in the northern border all year round:

   “A group of warriors who haven’t even arrived yet dare to start a sect?”

  Xu Yuan shrugged and chuckled:

  ”If you have skills, you can establish a faction, but for those low-level skills, you can just understand them as obedient bandits;

  ”Of course,

  “They don’t think they are bandits themselves, but

   “Secular sect.”

  Since the establishment of the Tian’an Martial Arts Museum decades ago, providing cultivation channels for the common people at the bottom, those martial artists who have either been eliminated or have not chosen to enter the army have evolved so far, and there is already a so-called “Wulin Jianghu” “The embryonic form.

   “Secular sect?”

  When Li Qingyan heard this, his red pupils shone sharply, and his voice carried a hint of military killing intent: “The local government doesn’t care? If things go on like this, this will shake the foundation of our Great Yan rule.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he was a little surprised at Li Qingyan’s political accomplishment as a general, but he was relieved when he remembered the identity of the other party’s princess.

  To be honest, he didn’t know these things.

  But who made his father a prime minister with power and protection?

  When he reunited with the other three young masters in the capital in Goulan, the joke he made with Gong Yuanzeng, the son of the second prime minister, was not a joke.

  Because his father’s study is set up in the inner courtyard of the prime minister’s mansion, he, the third child, can come in and out at will.

  It was okay when I was young, and it’s even more okay now.

  During the time he stayed in the imperial capital, he went in openly and read a lot of central secret memorials and internal references of the Great Yan Dynasty.

   Sometimes I even watch it with my dad.

  The father and son sat in front of the desk without saying a word. Just after reading the annotations there, Xu Yuan immediately picked them up and read them.

   Because of this, Xu Yuan is now very clear about the current situation of Dayan.

  After the establishment of basic practice centers such as Tianan Martial Arts Hall and Zhenwen Division, the people at the bottom have access to the path of practice, and the overall national strength of Dayan has been growing at an extremely fast rate.

  More cultivators,

  More pattern masters,

  More pharmacists,

  More elixir cultivators,

  More and more.

   These talents are like Grade A military monsters, dragging the Great Yan Empire on the road to prosperity.

  However, the growth rate of this kind of national power is actually faster, and it can be replaced with a military Class A flying monster as the “engine”.

  The source of Qi between the heaven and the earth is constantly surging, and the output of Dayan’s overall cultivation resources can completely supply more people to practice.

  However, this kind of sign has been suppressed by the imperial court and the Zongmen together, and they are still controlling and suppressing the channels for practicing exercises on a large scale, especially high-level exercises.

  Dayan’s productivity is being firmly suppressed by the top-level building.

  But it’s a pity that once the productivity thing is released, the top-level building does not mean that it can be suppressed.

  It’s like a secular sect that makes Li Qingyan wary.

  As long as there is one secular sect of this kind, the second and third will appear immediately. .

  Li Yaoxuan, his father and their staff need time to deal with the chaos brought about by this changing situation.

   After a pause, Xu Yuan explained softly to Li Qingyan:

  ”These secular sects are my father’s tacit approval.”

   “Grand Xu acquiesces?”

  Li Qingyan murmured for a moment, and asked, “Because you are obedient?”

   “Transparent.”

  Xu Yuan praised the princess in tights: “These martial arts sects have a fixed lair, which is much easier to manage than those wandering chivalrous regiments. The monsters in the world can also generate income for the local government, so why not do it?”

   “It is better to block than to sparse.

   “What Xu Gong saw was really far away.”

  Li Qingyan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips again:

   “Let me guess, Mr. Xu’s next step should be to transform all those active large-scale chivalrous groups into this secular sect, and then hold their high-level officials accountable?”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes were slightly surprised.

  That’s right again.

  The conclusion he discussed with the old man is roughly the same.

  It is better to be sparse than to be blocked.

  Try to guide these non-staff warriors to join together, and let them take root in a fixed school location.

  The attitude of the imperial court will always be acquiescence, not recognition.

  If you are obedient, you will treat the bone as a dog, if you don’t listen, you will be beheaded directly.

  This princess is as smart as ever.

   Smiling slightly, he said softly:

   “Yes.”

  Li Qingyan asked with interest after hearing the words:

   “Chang Tian, ​​how did you know this kind of confidential information?”

   “Of course the memorial is passed.” Xu Yuan said as a matter of course.

   “Memorial?”

  Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan, with a smile:

   “Grand Xu allows you to read the memorial?”

   “Haven’t you been to the inner courtyard of my mansion? The door of my father’s study room has never been locked,”

  Xu Yuan looked into her eyes and asked with a smile:

   “Qingyan, next time you come to my house, shall we read the brochure together?”

   or2

   I went to the hospital for an infusion during the day

   A little late, a little longer
