Chapter 326: Sense of Crisis, Hard Practice

"Two adults, you didn't summon us this time just to gossip, undermine everyone's confidence, and create anxiety, right?"

An official who knew the history of the Jingtuan Conference took the initiative to stand up and said: "I remember that it has not been a century since the last Jingtuan Conference ended. Now it is suddenly advanced. Sir, you are well-informed in the capital. Do you know anything else? If you know, you might as well tell them all so that everyone can think of countermeasures together. "

County Prime Minister Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou looked at each other and said helplessly: "Come to think of it, this matter still has something to do with the Xue family."

"Not long ago, General Xue's crusade against the Huangtian Sect was unsuccessful. His Majesty was dissatisfied because of this, so he opened the Jingluan Meeting in advance and asked us to go and destroy the Huangtian Sect."

"Aren't they fighting each other? Why are they involved in Huang Tianjiao again?"

County Supervisor Yan Xushou explained: "It has been almost a thousand years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and many changes have gradually taken place in Jingluanhui."

"With the increasing scale, Emperor Taiyuan, the fourth emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, felt that such simple fighting was too much of a waste of manpower, so starting from him, every Jingchao meeting was fought under the slogan of conquering the barbarians to open up the frontier. . Later, whenever there was a rebellion or a large-scale war against the enemy, the contemporary emperor would choose the opportunity to initiate a peace meeting."

"Subject to the rise and development speed of the world's martial arts masters, the frequency of activation is still limited to a period of sixty years, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer."

Some officials questioned and asked with a glimmer of hope: "What if after the rebellion is put down, it is a great victory and the number of people is not reduced much?"

"Then continue the crusade and continue the killing. Anyone who enters the Jingluan Association will be treated as consumables by us until they are exhausted. In addition, don't forget that there are many noble families who go there for the purpose of meritorious service. It’s a competitor. So in addition to attacking enemies, you also have to defend yourself. It’s not that simple to stay alive.”

The atmosphere in the county government office became increasingly dull.

Everyone was silent after listening.

County Supervisor Yan Xushou clapped his hands and said, "After hearing so much bad news, let's hear some good news."

"What good news?"

"His Majesty has issued a decree. I heard that the person who has made the greatest contribution to the peace and chaos meeting can be made a general and a marquis. It can be regarded as a step to the sky."

After County Supervisor Yan Xushou finished speaking, someone in the crowd had a glimmer of light in their eyes.

"If everything goes well, the Jingluan Conference will start before spring, that is, in a month or two. I will rush to Danzhou. We have enough time now to discuss countermeasures together. Everyone, do you have any advice? , you might as well speak freely.”

At this time, a middle-aged official came forward and said: "There are thirty-six of us recruited this time. We may try to form a small team and cooperate with each other to advance and retreat together."

The officials present nodded and felt that this statement was reasonable.

After all, in a chaotic place like the Jingluan Society, a person's power is limited after all, and since they come from the same place, they can trust each other and cooperate with each other, which will easily increase each other's chances of survival.

"What Mr. Li said is absolutely true. I think Mr. Shen is the most outstanding among us. His achievements in slaying demons are obvious to all. We should take him as the leader."

"Yes, Mr. Shen has cultivated a lot, and he should be the leader."

The officials present were talking a lot, all focusing on Shen Qing.

Shen Qing looked around and scanned everyone.

He found that most of these people were officials in the county and city, and basically did not have any of his confidants or subordinates.

Such a group of people seems to be very capable, but in fact they only want to survive individually. It is difficult to unify and coordinate.

If he stood in front, he might be used as a shield by them when he entered the battlefield.

This is not a good thing.

Shen Qing thought for a while but refused: "I just have some fists and feet. I really don't understand how to lead an army. I can fight and kill, but I'm afraid I can't lead people. I'm far inferior to Master Dou and Master Yan. Today. The matter is to be convened by two adults, and they are well-informed. How about taking the two adults as the leaders?"

Shen Qing's suggestion made Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou's eyes light up.

Although they have never had any ambitions, they were tempted by the power they had at their fingertips.

In fact, when everyone was called together this time, they inevitably had some ideas deep in their hearts.

Dou Wenxi gently stroked the sparse beard on his chin, with a hint of longing in his eyes, and pretended to decline: "Huh? Compared to Lord Shen's bravery, our little tricks are nothing."

"Although the two of us are willing, we are afraid that we are not capable enough. It is better for Master Shen to do it."

Seeing this, Shen Qing even guessed what the two were thinking.

He continued to say sincerely: "Master Dou and Master Yan, it is not because I, Shen Qing, are pushing the envelope, but it is actually because I know that my abilities are limited. With these two adults, we have a place where we can use our strength. Colleagues, what do you think? ?”

The officials present felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and there seemed to be no difference to them, so they all agreed.

After a moment of silence, Dou Wenxi took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Since everyone trusts us so much, we will no longer be pretentious. Brother Yan, you and I will take on this responsibility for the time being and wait until the time is right." , let’s talk about other things.”

"good."

After relinquishing his responsibilities as the leader, Shen Qing discussed the next preparations with everyone.

This continued until late in the evening when it ended.

After returning to the mansion from the county government, Shen Qing began to become worried.

After learning some details about the Jingluanhui, he felt a sense of crisis.

‘Time waits for no one, and we must improve our cultivation as soon as possible. There is still a month left, and it is best to break through to the Lingxu realm, and then strengthen the Daxu technique for escaping and the long-range archery skills. ’

Shen Qing secretly had a direction and decision in his heart.

In the following time, he began to go deep into the depths and put all his mind on cultivation, using the resources at hand to improve martial arts.

In addition, he also asked Wu Sheng to go to Kyoto to buy a 200-stone treasure bow in case of an emergency.

Time flies, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the training room of Shen Mansion.

Shen Qing sat on the ancient futon, closed his eyes and concentrated, breathing long and long.

In front of him, the wish beads and a jade plate were suspended, shining.

The patterns engraved on the jade plate continued to emit brilliance, and a large amount of spiritual energy gushed out.

The wish beads contained the devout faith of countless believers, like a trickle of water, constantly drawing the surrounding spiritual energy into his body.

With every breath Shen Qing took, the surrounding spiritual energy was drawn by an invisible force, turning into thin threads, seeping into his body through his pores, flowing along his meridians, nourishing every inch of flesh and bones.

His breath began to rise steadily.
