Chapter 243
Meng Mansion, foundation-building banquet.
Chen Jing'an arrived as scheduled, and this time he really saw the extensive network of the Meng family as a veteran military family of the Jundusi.
The various generals of the Jundusi, the various offerings of the Xianshuisi.
In the end, there were even many young and vigorous figures from the Demon Suppression Division.
On the surface, they had nothing to do with the Jundusi.
These three yamen, which were not subordinate to each other and even had a competitive relationship, now gathered here because of a foundation-building banquet of the Meng family.
It is the embodiment of the influence of the Meng family.
As Meng Du gets older.
In the future, without the blessing of this giant of the Jundusi, the Meng family will inevitably usher in a period of decline.
Meng Ning held a grand foundation-building banquet today, which may be a preparation for him to officially take charge of the Meng family in the future.
Chen Jing'an was alone during the banquet.
If others greeted him, he would return one or two greetings, and his main goal was to not get involved.
As for deepening the friendship.
It's not that it's impossible, but Chen Jing'an doesn't think it's appropriate for such an occasion. It's better not to order.
Until half of the wine was drunk.
Suddenly someone outside came to report: "Xie Tongzhi of the Demon Suppression Division has arrived!"
For a moment, all the guests present cast their eyes, and saw a tall and handsome middle-aged man in an official robe walked in.
Xie Tongzhi's real name is Xie Wenhui.
He is the most popular person in the capital of Daqian in recent years.
Xie Tongzhi served in the "Pingnan Army" in the south of the Daqian Army Dusi in his early years, and later transferred to the Demon Suppression Division. With the support of the royal family, he became a giant of the Demon Suppression Division that could compete with the Yang and Yuan families in just a few years.
Everyone present saluted him.
Chen Jing'an fished in troubled waters and retreated behind everyone without making a sound.
He had no intention of intervening in the dispute between the young and strong faction and the aristocratic faction, but he had actually belonged to the aristocratic faction.
Chen Jingan can choose not to contribute, but he must not do anything that will arouse suspicion.
Before Xie Tongzhi came, of course he knew that there was a big fish from the aristocratic family here.
Chen Jingan did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Suppression Division. As a prison warden, he did not have much weight compared to the entire Demon Suppression Division.
But Chen Jingan, in addition to his identity as a member of the Demon Suppression Division.
He is also the highest person in charge of the "Suzaku Project".
This is his biggest shining point.
Xie Tongzhi is in a high position and is an important chess piece in the hands of the royal family. He can know the royal family's intentions earlier than ordinary people.
At present -
In the battle between the Anxi Army and Daliang, Daqian suffered a lot because of the Xuanwu mechanism.
In fact, after layers of concealment and reduction in the middle, what was really transmitted to the capital of Daqian was only the tip of the iceberg.
After the royal family thoroughly investigates the cause and effect, someone will definitely be held responsible for this failure.
From Xie Tongzhi's perspective, the old and high-ranking general "Meng Du" is undoubtedly the most suitable abandoned child.
This is not his choice, but the choice made by the royal family after comprehensive consideration of the pros and cons.
Someone needs to take the blame for all this.
After that, a counterattack plan was made against the aggressive Daliang mechanical beast.
The mechanical Xuanwu seems to be impeccable.
But Daqian still has a trump card in his hand, which is the mechanical Suzaku.
This means that Chen Jing'an, the person in charge of the Suzaku project, will become an important figure in front of the royal family in the next period of time.
He originally wanted to try to make friends with him today.
But at a glance, it is not difficult to find that Chen Jing'an showed resistance to him.
This made Xie Tongzhi a little disappointed.
However, he did not want to make enemies with Chen Jing'an at this point, so he gave up the idea of forcing a friendship.
Xie Tongzhi looked at the lively inner courtyard of Meng Mansion, and felt a little emotional in his heart.
The current prosperous scene actually interprets the meaning of "burning oil in a raging fire".
A small foundation-building banquet can attract more than 20 foundation-building masters from the three divisions to the scene.
This is a great honor.
However, when the defeat of the Anxi Army is exposed, the pillar of the Meng family will collapse.
That is the time to witness the warmth and coldness of human nature.
I saw him build a high building, I saw him entertain guests, and I saw his building collapse.
...
The front line of the Anxi Army.
In the camp.
Today, the Anxi Army welcomed a royal envoy of the ninth level of foundation-building, named Chu Jianghe.
He is a genuine royal high-ranking official.
The True Lord is detached from the world, and most of the affairs of Daqian are decided by several royal high-ranking officials including Chu Jianghe.
This time, the battle between the Anxi Army and Daliang can be described as a disastrous defeat.
No matter how many ordinary soldiers died, Chu Jianghe would not frown, because what Daqian lacked the most was such people to fill the gap.
The ones who really suffered were the monks who had practiced military formations.
This was Daqian's trump card against foreign enemies.
However, they faced the comingThe raging Xuanwu didn't even have time to form a formation, and was directly crushed by Xuanwu's iron hoofs, with countless casualties.
This has had an irreversible impact on the morale of the frontline.
If things go wrong, these cultivators will decide where to go with their feet.
If they all run away.
By then, the defense line built by Daqian in the west will collapse without a fight.
So the royal family needs a sufficient deterrent and a powerful counterattack to reverse the decline.
Mengdu has made great contributions and has a high enough prestige in the Anxi Army.
He is the most suitable chicken to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
The inside story of this is well known to the top leaders of Daqian.
Including Mengdu himself.
As a son of a general of the military commander, he has enjoyed the kindness of the royal family since he started practicing. After he stood out, the royal family invested a lot of precious treasures in him.
Otherwise——
For a wealthy family like the Murong Immortal Clan that occupies the southeast, with the resources of various counties behind them, the strongest of them, the Murong Patriarch, has never broken through to the late stage of foundation building.
But Meng Du has achieved it, and he has further broken through to the eighth level of foundation building.
All his cultivation comes from the royal family.
With the means of the royal family, they may have already mastered the means to counter him, so Meng Du knew that he had no choice.
He alone filled the disaster on the western front in exchange for the continuation of the Meng family.
Meng Du faced Chu Jianghe: "Meng Du will follow the orders of the special envoy."
"Meng Du, you are really a loyal and good general of my Daqian."
Chu Jianghe smiled and said directly: "After you die in battle, your old friend Chen Yudian of the Meng family will be reused. At that time, the royal family will give him a list of pardons, and he will be responsible for pardoning the implicated people this time, and your Meng family will also be on the list."
"When the mechanical Xuanwu is repelled, naturally no one will take advantage of the issue."
Meng Du couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard this.
The little incense that was spread at the beginning has now grown into such a towering tree.
As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life.
But when it falls on Chen Jing'an, it is a whale that falls on all things.
The royal family gave the title of pardon to Chen Jing'an, which is a disguised way to transfer these favors to him.
The so-called imperial grace is nothing more than this.
…
After Meng Du received the order, Daqian immediately organized another wave of attacks to attract the attention of the enemy's mechanical Xuanwu.
Meng Du, who was at the eighth level of foundation building, went deep into it, and directly passed over the mechanical beasts and hunted the mechanical masters like cutting leeks.
He directly used the secret method of burning life to kill six second-level mechanical masters in succession.
Afterwards, the whole person was burned to ashes under the backlash of the secret method, and he was also freed from the worry of being vented by the Daliang side.
