Chapter 403: Overall situation

Tang Jiabao's eyes flashed, but after only a moment's hesitation, he said: "Naturally, it is for the ten major sects to round the election."
"Ten big sect round selection?" Sure enough, it was exactly what Ming Yin Yao said that day. Until then, Gu Zhong realized that he had been in this world for a year.
But I have always been focusing on the development of martial arts, and it seems that I don't know much about the pattern of this world.
He only knew that the country where the Cangshan Sect was located was called the Great Chu Empire, which he said was an empire, but he understood it as a "powerful country ruled by a monarch."
Because most of the world of martial arts speaks by force, the existence of empires is to divide regions in a greater sense.
In addition to Da Chu, there are seven empires on this continent. The area of ​​the Da Chu empire is only one-tenth of the entire continent, and the overall strength is only in the middle.
There are even more powerful empires, but with Gu Zhong's current identity, he can't reach that level.
"The ancient master should know that our Da Chu's highest-level sect is not four-rate."
"The ten major sects that seem to be unattainable are not very impressive in other empires."
Tang Jiabao was very frank, and there was no one else there anyway, so he directly spoke freely.
After taking a sip of wine, he continued: "Tang got the news that several small countries around Da Chu are actively recruiting troops, and war may happen soon."
Gu Zhong wondered: "Small countries also take the initiative to provoke war?"
"The warriors and sects of small countries also need to develop, not to mention that the situation has been changing. Several small countries are united and their forces cannot be underestimated. It is also helpless to launch war for resources."
"This is something that the emperor should worry about. Has Lord Tang Gu worry too much?"
"Haha, the ancient leader does not know that the reason why these small countries are ready to move is related to one person."
Tang Jiabao's eyes suddenly became strange, and Gu Zhong had a bad prediction.
The person he is talking about, isn't it me?
Obviously, he thinks too much...
But this person is not him, but someone related to him.
"Old Bai...Master?"
"Yes, more than a hundred years ago, there were nine empires in the mainland, but today, only eight are left."
"Another one was destroyed by a powerful country?"
"It doesn't count." Tang Jiabao shook his head and said, "Although Da Chu was strong at the time, it could only be regarded as the second strongest country."
"Oh..." Gu Zhong nodded as if he didn't understand.
Then he reacted fiercely, "Wait, the empire you mentioned was destroyed by Emperor Chu?"
"Yes, and the leader at the time was your master, Bai Jianzhou."
"Um..." Gu Zhong was completely deceived. Unexpectedly, this old man was quite violent and wiped out all the other people's country... It's really awesome...
"Many of the reasons are difficult to say for a while, but after this incident, there has been no war on the border of Da Chu for a hundred years. There is definitely a white head and half the credit of the Cangshan faction."
"Is the Cangshan faction also involved in this matter?"
After Gu Zhong said it, he regretted it a little... He was the head of the Cangshan School, and he seemed to be a bit cheeky when he said this...
"Ahem, it's nothing, but my master didn't tell me... hehehe."
"It's normal for the ancient master not to know these things. They all happened a hundred years ago. It is estimated that you were not born at that time."
Gu Zhong thought to himself, it's not that Lao Tzu was not born, but that Lao Tzu's Grandpa Zeng was not born yet.
But on second thoughts, Tang Jiabao should have not been born, he could inquire about this, how can I not know, to put it bluntly, it is still an old man, not leaving a few last words before leaving.
The ancient master who had been engaged is very embarrassing now.
"At that time, the Cangshan School was nowhere in the limelight in Da Chu, ranking first among the ten major sects. Although it was only a five-tier sect, it was admired by thousands of sects, and it was actually the first sect of Da Chu.
"This..." I blew my head over.
"Uh, so Lord Tang is going to Beijing this time..."
Gu Zhong didn't want to listen to Tangjiabao blowing the rainbow fart of the Cangshan School. The Cangshan School established by the old man could blow it, but it was not necessary. After all, he saw with his own eyes how Bai Jianzhou lived and died and a broken thatched cottage.
Delivering the responsibility of the head to him, who has never been masked, or even does not belong to this world at all.
Gu Zhong had never seen him at the peak, but was ordered in danger when Bai Jianzhou was at its lowest valley.
He listened to what Tang Jiabao said, and he had an idea, no matter how awesome people are, there will be a day when they fall into the altar. Climb the peak, and go higher and farther.
"This time I went to Beijing for the round of ten major sects, and the sect alliance hopes that all the sects above the sixth stream of Great Chu can participate."
"So this time I, Hu Qing, and Gu Qing'er were all summoned to Beijing."
I almost forgot, the San Puritanism is now considered to be a six-class sect.
"What happens after the rounds?"
"According to the ranking, re-ranking. The leader of the sect becomes the leader of the sect alliance."
"Naturally also shoulder the responsibility of defending the empire."
"The army of the Empire??"
Gu Zhong was very curious that the sect and the empire were not related to each other, so he didn't get any good for helping him in the war.
"As we all know, the empire will only recruit a very small number of warriors with medium aptitude, and form an army to distribute to the city lord and government officials below."
"And once a war is launched, the people who sacrifice the most are the people, and then the sect. The monarch is nothing more than a change of title and can still manage one side of the land."
"What other countries want is resources. It is our sect forces that compete with other countries, and they are not fools who do hard work for the empire."
"Understood." The old man destroyed a country back then, so the status of the Cangshan faction reached its peak, and then there was no war on the border of Great Chu for a hundred years.
And those nominal monarchs can only control ordinary people who have no cultivation base, and basically have zero control over the sects. Whether the country is peaceful or not, they must rely on these large sects to resist foreign enemies.
The forces of other countries only compete for resources, not necessarily that you will change the monarch. So even if the war really started, it was not Emperor Chu who was anxious to get angry.
It was the top ten sects with the highest rank and the greatest power in Chu.
Anyway, the resources are used by you warriors, and the common people can't get it. If you want more resources, you can only protect this land.
This means that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Before, Gu Zhong always felt that the Sect Alliance was just a place to authenticate the sect. Until today, he didn't know that the Sect Alliance was the real boss behind the scenes.
Tang Jiabao took a sip of wine, his face even more worried, and said, "Once the war starts, those sects of the nine-rate and eight-rate will be the result of being destroyed."
"Either it is directly banned by the sect alliance and the resources are turned over, or it is reduced to cannon fodder in the troubled times."
