Even if Jing Congyun's situation is not considered, the overall situation in Jingguo is not very optimistic.

In the last Jingwu War, Jingguo was undoubtedly the victor. They defeated the Weiguo on the eastern front, plundered a huge amount of wealth and population, and left the three counties of Wu in a mess and the scapegoat for killing the king of Weiguo.

Now many small countries east of the eastern border of Wu Kingdom have formed a close alliance and are full of vigilance against Wu Kingdom.

They destroyed the old enemy Northern Army on the southern front, captured Zhenbeiguan in an unprecedented manner, invaded the hinterland of Wu State and plundered, and in front of Longchuan City, they overcame the Imperial Guard Corps where Emperor Tianwu was stationed, and defeated Wu Yue to the brink.

He refused to say anything and almost crippled this legion which had just been reestablished.

In addition, the signal of their victory also brought many additional benefits. The sects of Wu State turned to Jing State one after another, and the tight pressure within Jing State in recent years also ushered in a pleasant release, and Jing Cong

Yun's reputation instantly reached its peak.

To a certain extent, looting is indeed the best shortcut to making a fortune. Although Xia Wujiang's legion also suffered heavy losses in the war, the results of this battle made everyone in Jingguo full of confidence, and in this battle

Countless individuals and families who fought bravely stood out and changed the fate of themselves and their families.

Outstanding individuals rose to important positions in the military, and outstanding families received generous rewards, widespread fame, and most importantly, Jing Congyun's trust. The military merits and awards were generous, coupled with the intentional guidance of Jingguo officials.

, there was a wave of joining the army in Jingguo.

In Jingguo, both ordinary people and monks clearly saw two broad roads: one is to study abroad and the other is to practice martial arts and join the army. Compared with the fierce competition and difficulty of studying and studying abroad, the path of practicing martial arts and joining the army is obviously more convenient.

Be more grounded.

There are people with money and policies, and all parts of Jingguo are undergoing vigorous military expansion. Under normal circumstances, there is such a development trend. There is no doubt that Jingguo is on the right path. However, the problem is that the challenges they face are somewhat

Too exaggerated.

Since Xie Wan and Utopia reached a cooperation, Emperor Tianwu came forward to reach an agreement with the Nanhai royal family. Wu Guo's huge pressure in the western and southern territories was temporarily put on hold. Therefore, some of the elite forces of their heavily deployed Western Legion and Southern Legion began to take turns and rest.

They gathered in the north and at the same time freed up their strength to put pressure on and even annihilate the sects within the territory that were disobedient.

Therefore, what Jingguo will face on the southern front is most likely to be an army composed of part of the Western Army, the Southern Army, plus recruits recruited from the northern counties, and the sect is forced to send monks from the army as the basis, plus

A mixed army composed of officers from the Wu Kingdom Military Department and the Nanhai Royal Family.

On the surface, such a legion seems to be a completely ragtag group of people with different agendas, but according to the information and intelligence collected by Utopia, there are at least fifty or sixty extraordinary people in charge of this messy legion that looks like a joke!

It must be admitted that the super-born Emperor Tianwu did leave a valuable legacy to the Wu Kingdom. Among the fifty or sixty extraordinarys, there are only five extraordinary ones who belong to the Wu Kingdom's military department, while there are more than twenty in the Nanhai royal family.

There are more than 30 Chaofans from sects who have to express their loyalty to Emperor Tianwu, and it is not yet known whether more Chaofans from sects will join in the future.

Such an extraordinary lineup is even more exaggerated than when Wu Yue launched a war against Utopia. Even if Utopia confronts Utopia, he must deal with it carefully, let alone take a photo of Jing Guo's face at once.

Based on Utopia's understanding of Jing Guo's high-end combat power, if there are no more hidden trump cards, Jing Guoguang will probably be difficult to compete with Wu Guo on the frontal battlefield by relying on his existing extraordinary numbers and military formations.

I have to say that after Xie Wan and Emperor Tianwu joined forces, their courage and level were much higher than Wu Yue's. Apart from a few of the fifty or sixty extraordinary beings who belonged to the military department, all other extraordinary powers had been eliminated not long ago.

It was a hidden danger that was about to break out in Wu State, but now it has become a knife-edge hanging over Jing Guo's head. As long as this battle is not the result of Wu State's defeat, it will be a good thing for Wu State.

But if it fails, not only Jingguo and Utopia will not let go of such an opportunity, but the internal problems of Wuguo will also explode. By then, I am afraid that even the rebirth of Emperor Tianwu will not be able to stop the situation from collapsing like a landslide.

In this case, the wedding held on the banks of the Tianhe River outside Qingjuan City a few days ago caused Jing Congyun's physical condition to deteriorate sharply and the order was exposed, which undoubtedly turned into bad news that made matters worse.

That day, after Lu Chuan furiously killed the God King and fell into coma, Ning Qinghou and his party, who received Jiao Beichuan's message asking for help, all arrived in Qingjuan. Jiang Lingshan also helped Jing Congyun to examine and treat him. Jing Congyun's physical condition was even worse than at that time.

Lu Chuan, who was rescued in Yao Kingdom, was even worse.

After all, although Lu Chuan's Dantian was destroyed, his meridians were cut off, and his body was filled with demonic energy, his injuries were still understandable. What Jiang Lingshan saw was that almost all the organs in Jing Congyun's body were rapidly failing and aging. In addition, he

His hair turned gray overnight and he looked like his life was about to end.

The lifespan of a cultivator is a major problem that is far from being solved in this world. Most of the cultivators who are stuck in the realm of magical powers and cannot break through the separation between heaven and man can still maintain a pretty good state before their lifespan ends.

Monks can use spells to make themselves look young and beautiful, and they can also use spells and treasures to protect the functions of their internal organs. However, monks with advanced cultivation can roughly sense their longevity, and then go to the longevity point.

At the end, it quickly dies.

Nowadays, the world's recognized and effective methods of extending life are only a few cherished treasures of heaven and earth and breakthroughs to the extraordinary. Jing Congyun's situation is very similar to that of Lu Chuan. Even if their understanding of the great road has reached the extraordinary, they still need a few more.

Years of time allow the realm of vitality to catch up with the process.

Therefore, Utopia is also speculating on whether Jing Congyun's condition can last until he successfully breaks through to the extraordinary, but what is certain is that with Jing Congyun's current condition, it is absolutely impossible to use Order like last time.

There is no doubt that Order is Jing Congyun's hidden trump card. If its function can really formulate a rule that the entire world needs to abide by, as everyone has guessed, then the upper limit of this treasure's effect is simply immeasurable.

However, from some clues, Utopia can infer that this treasure, known as one of the three origins of the world, cannot be controlled by everyone, otherwise Jing Congyun's father, Jing Yao, would not have died in Yangguan so easily.

If Jing Congyun and Jing Guo are no longer able to use order, then Jing Guo's remaining trump card is likely to be some of the authority they obtained through killing gods in the past, as well as the secret talents they have recently cultivated through killing gods.

But even if all the favorable factors for Jingguo are taken into account, if Utopia does not end, the Ministry of Military Affairs' analysis of Jingguo's winning rate will not exceed 30%.

According to Utopia's overall strategy, Jingwu and Jingwu have been in constant dispute, and it is naturally the most ideal situation for Utopia to develop. However, the development of the current situation has completely deviated from Utopia's expectations. Xie Wan used various means to force both Jingwu and Jingwu into conflict.

When we reached the edge of the cliff, even our thoughts of Utopia were hanging high.

"If the two sides really break out into a larger-scale war than the last time, the financial pressure on Wu State will be very great. Xie Wan's previous decrees related to military merit pensions have allowed her to gain the hearts and minds of the military and the people, but the total expenditure will definitely exceed

Fifty million yuan, even if she confiscated some sects and opened the treasury, the money, food and supplies Wu Guo had on hand would not be enough for them to fight a full-scale war for more than half a year.

Moreover, our large-scale grain harvesting in Wu State has not stopped in the past few months. The price of grain in Wu State has nearly doubled compared to last year. Now the spring planting has just begun. If they start early, they will forcefully force the war.

In the case of food requisition, it is inevitable that ordinary people will be injured in the end, and people may starve to death."

Xu Keming shook his head as he spoke. Wu Guo has experienced four high-intensity large-scale battles in the past ten years and has not won the last three. No matter how rich the family fortune is, it is almost empty. The last scene of the Wu War has just passed.

Within a few months, Wu Guo was about to start a new, larger-scale war. In the eyes of him and his colleagues in the Military Department, it was completely crazy.

But from a military perspective, he had to admire Xie Wan and Emperor Tianwu for pushing the hostile Utopia to neutrality in a situation that was originally close to collapse, and turning the equally hostile Nanhai royal family into a new force. In addition, Jing Jing

Congyun had just encountered a situation, and a dead game was instantly revived by them.

"Before I came back from Wu State yesterday, Xie Wan and I had a private meeting. She made a suggestion at that time, and wanted to use Wu'an County to exchange money, food and supplies with us."

Jiao Beichuan suddenly revealed such bombshell news that even Lu Chuan almost thought he had something wrong with his ears. Are you kidding me, exchanging a county and several cities for money, food and supplies, are you crazy? You don't even know the people and territory under your rule.

If you can sell it, who will trust you in the future?

But Lu Chuan soon realized that there was obviously poison hidden in this delicious cake. Utopia now does not have the ability to take over and govern the people of a county. The two northern counties alone already keep Utopia busy enough.

.

For Xie Wan, she cannot be too harsh in the liquidation of the sects of the Wu Kingdom. She also needs some comfort for those sects who have surrendered to her. She needs a lot of money and food to support her in winning this war that determines the fate of the country.

, whether borrowing or selling, she hopes to get the money from Utopia, and this money may further tear the relationship between Utopia and Jingguo.

As for Wu'an County being sold, it doesn't matter to Xie Wan at all. She doesn't have much affection for the world, the country of Wu, or Wu'an County. The reason why she is so resolute and courageous in governance is that in the final analysis

Because she cares about very few things, rather than running the country, it is more like playing chess or a game.

What Xie Wan wants is to help her son clear away all obstacles and threats before he comes back. What she wants is to help her husband stand up. If Jing Guo hurts him, she will take revenge. If the sect stabs him in the back, she will liquidate the sect.

As for the feelings of the people in Wu'an County, how many people would die in the war, and whether any people would starve to death.

She couldn't hear those distant cries.

She once wanted to be a queen and help Wu Yue reform the country step by step. Anyway, she could live in this world for a long time, and she would have plenty of time to solve various problems in Wu Country and accompany Wu Yue to the top of the world.

But the pain of losing her son and several years of living in the cold palace made her understand many things. Now that she has returned, she naturally wants to take the chess game into her own hands.

"My opinion is that we cannot accept this deal." Liu Mingjiang said, "We should find ways to help Jing Guo. If Wu Guo is allowed to destroy Jing Guo, we will also be in trouble."

"Is there any way we can mediate?" Lin Shaohua is also one who does not want the war to break out too violently. He and the administrative department have recently been focusing on the work of appeasing the people in the two northern counties. Although the war does not take place in Utopia, the fierce and turbulent external environment does.

will inevitably have an impact on Utopia.

"It's difficult. Xie Wan is constantly placing bets on the table. She is unlikely to stop at this time, unless there is something more important ahead of her, which is the rescue of Wu Yu.

But now that Jing Guo has exposed Order, Xie Wan has a new reason to attack Jing Guo. Emperor Tianwu said that Order is likely to be the key to fighting the Divine Lord Wuyou, so Xie Wan will seize it from Jing Guo at all costs.

."

Jiao Beichuan shook his head. He and Lu Chuan also hoped that the war would not break out and that peace would develop for a period of time to accumulate more human power to challenge the God Realm. However, things were not always going as planned. Due to the hatred between Wu Kingdom and Jing Kingdom,

Although both countries have their own grudges against the Gods, it is difficult for them to work together.

As Lu Chuan had thought before, it was difficult for such an important decision to be concluded in one meeting. This meeting was more about communicating information from all parties to everyone, and everyone needed to think about it after the meeting before discussing it next time.

The third topic that followed the meeting was more interesting. It was more of a preview of a project than a topic. Zhang Sanwen and Feng Pingan made a new discovery by accident while studying the principles of demonic energy and vitality.

We are preparing to make a device that can be driven by elemental stones to release fireball spells.

This project sounds a bit similar to the Vitality Cannon, but in fact it is very different. Converting Vitality into energy to blast out bullets and directly converting Vitality into magic are completely different concepts. If this project can succeed, it means

Utopia skips the step that the magic must be performed by monks, further narrowing the gap between practitioners and ordinary people.

After the three important issues, the rest were some minor issues from other departments, which basically had little to do with Lu Chuan. After a meeting, Lu Chuan listened and wrote down three pages of paper, put away his things and prepared to go out.

At that moment, Xia Long stopped him.

"Minister Xia, what do you want to see me for?" Lu Chuan was still a little uneasy when he was approached by the Organization Minister. He had always abided by the law in Utopia, so he probably had not committed anything. Could it be that he was about to be promoted?

But Luo Bowen didn’t get angry with him either?

"I have something to talk to you about. Do you know Yan Wenyu?" The expression on Xia Long's face was a little serious, but what he asked made Lu Chuan stunned.

"Well, I've heard of her but never seen her. She must be Lao Huo Changge's girlfriend."

"Well, it's her. We have recently obtained some information and evidence. She may have some bad connections with Jing Guo.
