Chapter 252 Without You, It Is Very Important
After reading the latest news sent by the spy stationed in Anyangjing, Chu Shen finally understood why there was such a big deviation in the news about Lingxi Peak.
The trick of slacking off at Lingxi Peak is actually quite effective.
In most cases, the stability of various immortal dynasties is very high, and there are not many earth-shattering sudden events. It is enough to deceive people with phrases like "nothing happened today". If you really have to record every detail, should we also write down what the emperor of the immortal dynasty ate today?
Isn't that a waste of time?
Those who know that you are a spy will know, but those who don't know will think you are a historian writing a daily record!
Moreover, the relationship between Langxuan Tian Gong and the outside world is not so close. There is no need to maintain a high-intensity intelligence collection. It is enough to grasp the information related to Tian Gong itself. As for other things... the requirements of the system and what can actually be done are two different things, hey!
It's just that I didn't expect that Chu Shen's sudden trip would expose the trick of Lingxi Peak, and what's even more absurd is that even the peak master of Lingxi Peak didn't expect it. The people below fooled him for the sake of laziness. What's even more unexpected for those lazy and slacking off individuals at Lingxi Peak is that they were just slacking off based on their usual experience, but suddenly a series of events occurred in the real Great Tang Immortal Dynasty.
This led to a major intelligence mistake.
It was only by seeing the first-hand information from the frontline spies that Chu Shen could know how many absurd things had happened in the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty in such a short period of time.
"The situation in the northern frontier is urgent, with the barbarian army pressing the border. It is suspected that there are spies within the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty leaking national policy intelligence, causing military extortion by the barbarian army.
The Emperor of Tang intends to send troops to guard the border, but the generals are shirking their responsibilities. They use the rebellion in Luozhou City as an excuse to vie for remonstrance and move the troops south. The rest of them use the excuse of preparing for the rebellion army to move north, but they take no action."
"The victory at Luozhou City was celebrated by many, but the Tang Emperor was more concerned about the state finances. Various factions in the court were engaged in constant disputes."
"The Holy Pilgrimage Sect has been growing increasingly powerful, and the Tang Emperor intends to appoint the National Teacher as a general to lead the sect in dealing with the northern border issues. However, the National Teacher has once again proposed a strategy of seeking peace, due to the ongoing arguments between the Thirteen Princesses and Vice Palace Master Chu Shen."
"The Great Tang Immortal Court has heard that representatives from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace are coming to provide support. They are currently discussing whether to let the experts from Langxuan Heavenly Palace take command to deal with the northern border affairs."
"Among the ten pieces of intelligence, about half of them are related to the northern border issues, and the remaining half are secondary consequences caused by the northern border issues."
"It seems that the Great Tang Immortal Court is extremely fearful and reluctant to engage in battle with the barbarian tribes in the border regions."
"This is simply absurd!"
Chu Shen felt that the Great Tang Immortal Court was tarnishing the name of the "Tang" dynasty and could almost be called the "Song" dynasty instead.
He immediately thought about how the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, which had formed an alliance with the Great Tang Immortal Court to deal with him, would react if they learned about the plans of the court. He couldn't help but laugh.
Although the number of people killed in the Lingkeng by the Lord of the Public Eye was not large, many of them were outstanding young members of the noble families. Some smaller families even faced the crisis of their lineage being cut off.
Thinking that this visit to the Great Tang Immortal Court was just going through the motions, and in order to avoid the turmoil in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace affecting the younger generation of their own families, each of the noble families sent out a group of young descendants, with some elder experts for protection.
Unexpectedly, the Great Tang Immortal Court, fearing the barbarians, actually targeted these "reinforcements" who were not even remotely related. It is likely that when the noble families learn about this, they will also be dumbfounded.
Just as he was looking at various news with a complex expression, Chang Ke paid a visit.
Although the Chang family of the Lingqi Peak is not from the four major scholarly families, they are not inferior to them. Chang Ke is the leader of the aristocratic descendants this time. In terms of cultivation, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. In the cultivation world, he is considered a formidable existence under normal circumstances.
As the acting deputy palace lord, Chu Shen's status is much higher, but he cannot be too negligent. After all, within the sect, one's cultivation level is also taken into account. This is also one of the important reasons why Yan Shu couldn't stand up back then.
"I have seen Senior Chang. May I ask what brings you here, Senior?" Chu Shen greeted Chang Ke and returned the gesture.
"Please forgive me, Deputy Palace Lord. I have come this time to discuss the arrangements for meeting the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty three days later. Our Langxuan Heavenly Palace is a holy land for cultivation and we cannot lose face," Chang Ke replied.
The Dongxuan Sect and the Immortal Dynasty have a balanced relationship. Even though the Langxuan Heavenly Palace belongs to the sacred Earth Grade within the sect, every Immortal Dynasty respects it to some extent. However, they would not prostrate themselves on the ground and listen obediently when someone from the Heavenly Palace arrives.
Similarly, even a prestigious sect like the Langxuan Heavenly Palace cannot bow down and lose face in front of a powerful Immortal Dynasty.
There are rules and etiquette for how to meet and greet each other.
Moreover, Chu Shen's visit this time is in the capacity of the acting deputy palace lord. In terms of "status in the martial world," it is not inferior to the Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty. If he were to adopt the posture of a subordinate paying respects, it would not only be a joke, but a major incident.
Even though Chang Ke represents the aristocratic families, he cannot afford to make a spectacle in this regard.
Although Chu Shen should have a ceremonial official from the Heavenly Palace to teach him various etiquette, he still cannot help but come and check the situation.
This is a serious matter, and Chu Shen will not argue with Chang Ke on such a serious matter. After discussing it seriously for a long time, everything is finally settled.
When Chang Ke was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "Vice Palace Master, although our positions are different, we are all members of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. We should all hope for the prosperity of the Heavenly Palace. But why are you always unwilling to be tolerant towards us aristocratic families? Is it because of the evil deeds of the Xiao family in the past, or is there another reason?
In his opinion, this is indeed a very confusing matter. Although the aristocratic families have a dirty background, they are still an important force in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Chu Shen's actions are a bit too much, as if he wants to completely eradicate them. Isn't this going too far?
Chu Shen carefully looked at him for a while, confirming that he was really puzzled, before slowly saying, "You are indeed an important force in the Heavenly Palace, and you have contributed to the development of the Heavenly Palace. But... do you really have no memory of how you became an important force in the Heavenly Palace?
While you have been assisting the Heavenly Palace, how much oppression and exploitation have you imposed on ordinary disciples? Is there no accountability for the reverse impact caused by this?
With you, the Heavenly Palace does indeed appear powerful, but without you, it is even more important to the Heavenly Palace."
Chang Ke's face turned serious. "Are you trying to fight us to the death?"
Chu Shen shook his head. "No, I just want you to be practical and recognize your true situation. As for your placement, it is already part of the Heavenly Palace's reform. It depends on whether you are willing to comply."
"How do you plan to place us?"
Chu Shen said meaningfully, "It's not about how I plan to place you, but... whether you are willing to accept the placement plan."
