Chapter 40 Gu Men (2)
"He said that all regions have my reputation. If I return to the empire at this moment, where will Xingkui be? They don't want me to go back, nor do they want me to go to the battlefield, because with my reputation and background, if I achieve success again, it will sooner or later threaten Xingkui's status. My grandfather also advised me not to come back. There are still many source masters in the empire, so I can't use me."
Xing Jin sighed, "I was angry and left the supplies and left, ready to enter the God Tower. The selection of members of the God Tower has to be evaluated for a period of time. When I was about to participate in the last level, one of my opponents told me that the Western Regions United Army had broken the defense line of the Tianhuo Road.
The last level of assessment is very dangerous and takes a lot of time. Although I knew that he asked me to withdraw from the assessment in disguise, after confirming the facts, I still chose to come back."
"On the way back, I was assassinated by many parties, including my opponents at that time, as well as killers from the Western Regions United Army, and certain forces in the empire."
She looked at Xi Huanyan deeply, "When I arrived, everything was almost settled. The Gu clan and most of the Shuchuan students died on the battlefield. Even the people in the Gu clan's old house were killed by the rebel army. Fortunately, your mother was rescued by the guards."
"I don't understand." Xi Huanyan was very puzzled, "Are you so big Gu Jun dead on the battlefield?"
"It's not Gu's family, it's Gu's clan, it's Gu's family." Xing Jin said, "The Gu family either works in Shuchuan or in the army. When war comes, they must play."
"Why?"
"This is a multi-party game. Simply put, the Empire, the Rebel Army, and the Western Regions United Army were opponents, and Gumen was too popular at that time and became an abandoned son.
On the one hand, the empire pushed out the soldiers from Gumen to meet the enemy in the name of war, and on the other hand, the empire told the people who revolted because of oppression that their money and food were taken away by Gumen.”
"The soldiers of Gumen went to the battlefield to fight desperately, and the rebels broke into Jinshengde money houses in various places, blocked Shuchuan's branch, and smashed all industries marked Gumen.
When the wall collapsed, everyone pushed it. The people in the imperial palace and the people who held power outside the imperial palace were becoming increasingly rampant. In order to completely suppress Gumen and divide its wealth, when Gumen soldiers were in trouble, no one sent troops to provide assistance. Instead, they unanimously asked Shuchuan Academy's reserve source and martial artist to go to the battlefield."
"Where is the power of Gu's Party? Property is secondary. The reputation and connections created by Shuchuan Academy are the big ones. If Shuchuan Academy is destroyed, Gu's Party will collapse halfway, Gu's family will collapse, and Gu's family will collapse."
"That time, except for Gumen, I think the Empire, the Uprising Army, and the Western Regions United Army all got satisfactory results. I wanted to kill the leader of the Uprising Army and then go to the battlefield to take revenge, but the Empire first named the leader a general. In the name of my attempt to harm the empire's general, he joined forces with several dukes to drive me out of the empire."
"Your mother chose to leave alone. At that time, I only thought she was discouraged and wanted to be quiet. In addition, the empire was urging me to do so, so I couldn't stay for a long time, so I had to leave first."
"Before leaving, I joined forces with some celebrities who are close friends with Gu's family to let the empire make the honors that the Gu family army deserves public. I hope that with these honors, those people can still have some shame so that they will not kill Gu's family openly."
"But the empire has calculated a little bit, and I have calculated a little bit bit. The alumni from Shuchuan Academy and the old subordinates of grandfather took the baton of the rebel army, gathered private troops, and resisted the empire's orders openly and secretly, and each camped on its own. This is also the origin of the warlords."
"They also hope that your mother or me will come forward to resist the empire on behalf of Gu's family. Their actions not only caused them to be severely suppressed, but the remaining Gu family members were also labeled as rebels. I was not convinced by the empire, so I simply joined forces with the warlords of Gu's family, fled far away, and quietly captured Shezhou, the easternmost Tianshui Road."
"After all Gu's Sect was destroyed, no one took the lead in the Tianhuo Road. The empire could only send the king's army and the earth's army to lead the troops. The great dukes and lords also took advantage of this chaos to attack Xingkui, asking him to abdicate and replace him. Gu's Sect, the uprising army, and the warlords all became their reason to denounce Xingkui, and Xingkui took advantage of the reputation created by his father to hold on."
"I took advantage of the chaos to unite this one, and took advantage of that momentum to gain a foothold in Shezhou. As soon as the wind was opened, many people in various places learned to be a warlord. Some wanted to get benefits, some were ambitious, and some were aiming for the benefit of the empire. The empire was really in chaos."
"It was not until three years ago that Master Jun was seriously injured on the battlefield of Tianhuo Dao that Xingkui began to panic. He was the Seven Star Source Master, and his confidence came from his father, his former founding achievements, and his teacher."
Xing Jin explained, "The Lord Master is usually the Emperor's teacher or elder, so once Master Master is seriously injured, his confidence will be gone, and his contributions and his father's reputation have long been consumed by him."
"He began to recruit me, asked me to fill this pit on Tianhuo Road, and even promised me the position of Dongjun of Qingyang."
"..." Xi Huanyan heard it and felt that there was no good person.
"I don't believe his lies, but defeating the Western Regions United Army is also my wish. Since he likes promises so much, I will let him promise me three conditions in public. First, make me the Duke of Tongzhou. If I retreat to the Western Regions United Army in the future, half of the territory of Tianhuo Road will belong to me, second, give me the power to establish a military academy and manage Zhuo Ri Mansion alone, and third, do not limit my troops."
In the empire, military academies can only be established by the empire or must be managed by the empire. The source teachers and students are defined as military talents. After graduation from the military academies, some will enter the army and some will flow into Zhurifu.
As a special department for the alien demons, Zhuri Mansion must be established in every place and only obeys the imperial orders, including Zhuri Mansion on the fiefdom of Duke and Bo.
These two things can be said to be the foundation of the empire's strength.
Xingkui scolded her for being unfilial and intended to divide the territory left by Xinglian, but she still agreed to her request, because many princes and marquis wanted to take advantage of the serious injury of the Lord's master and drive him, the governor, out of the position of the defeat of the Tianhuo Road and the turmoil of the empire.
In fact, after Gu Sect, the great dukes did not obey the empire's orders very much, and just waited for him to insult the empire so that he could clean up the world by himself.
The empire was able to be in chaos for so many years, and it was not without the will of these rulers. Pan Xingkui couldn't see clearly, thinking that he was the second Xinglian, and everyone respected him and was afraid of him.
Xi Huanyan's mind was dizzy when she heard the whole story of the past, but she did not forget what she was concerned about, "Who was the one who destroyed the Gu clan in the prophecy? Who was the leader of the rebel army who broke into the old house of Gu clan in reality? Who was the one who sent Gumen soldiers and students of Shuchuan Academy to death? Who was the generals of the Western Regions United Army?"
Xing Jin nodded in praise, "I can't be sure who did the prophetic family extermination case, so I can't give you any answer. The leader of the rebel army is General Zhao Mang, who is the current guard commander in the imperial palace. The leader of the Western Regions United Army has changed several of them. The one who fought against Gumen and killed his grandfather was the eight-star source teacher Ling Ao."
