Chapter 573: Split (I)

Han Yi opened the door and saw that it was none other than Zhong Yunxiu's personal bodyguard.

"There has been a change within the gate. The head of the academy has informed all the disciples to gather in the main hall."

She hurriedly left a word and quickly walked towards the residence of the Jiuquyuan disciples nearby.

"Hmm"

Han Yi frowned and didn't know what was going on, but there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Personal guards like this will only come to visit unless there is an extremely serious emergency.

Now

He didn't have time to think too much and rushed towards the main hall.

The main hall of Jiuquyuan is located deep in the inner courtyard. It is guarded by dedicated personnel on weekdays and will not be opened unless it is an important matter.

But when Han Yi came all the way today, he found that many of the guards in the past were missing, and he didn't know where they were.

When he arrived at the main hall, it seemed that many people had gathered inside.

Zhong Yunxiu and Zhong Han stood at the front of the team, looking at the people gathered in Jiuquyuan with a somewhat bad expression.

Although Jiuquyuan is at the bottom of the entire Jingtian Village in terms of strength, it is not without any accumulation.

Many years of personal connections, just by staying in the inner courtyard, adding up the bits and pieces, just talking about martial arts masters, there are at least forty people.

The martial artist here does not refer to beings like Zhong Han and Han Yi who are close to the peak of martial arts.

Most of them are around the third or fourth level of real skills, and their strength has not improved. They are scattered around Jingtian Village and hold positions, and are disciples who belong to various departments.

But looking at it now, at most thirty people came.

This also means that the remaining ten people have given up on Jiuquyuan.

"The government troops are aggressive, internal strife breaks out in the village, Zhao Ziyang does nothing, the conflict becomes more and more intense, Yangzhiyuan declares independence, we Jiuquyuan also need to make a choice."

Zhong Yunxiu stood at the front of the team and briefly explained the reason.

Han Yi listened carefully one by one.

It seems that after the government army wiped out the Green Alliance, they came to Jingtianzhuang overnight and asked for help in cooperating with the investigation to hunt down the Green Alliance thieves.

The government army was powerful, powerful and overwhelming. In desperation, the heads of the seven courtyards gathered together to discuss the matter.

But a suitable plan has not been finalized yet.

The government army also named all the disciples of Yangzhiyuan and asked them to go.

As for Yangzhiyuan, because of Fang He's death, he had great hatred for the government army, so how could he agree to it.

So in desperation, they could only beg the owner of the village, Zhao Ziyang, to coordinate and resolve the matter.

But who would have expected that Zhao Ziyang didn't say much and tacitly agreed to the government army's request.

After the news came out, there was an uproar in Jingtianzhuang.

The disciples of Yangzhiyuan were even more sad and angry. They hated Zhao Ziyang even more than the imperial army.

Zhao Ziyang was originally from Yangzhiyuan, but now he has sold all his roots!

The current head of Yangzhiyuan Zongwu Academy immediately announced that he was leaving Jingtianzhuang and had no relationship with Zhao Ziyang!

A single move affects the whole body.

As soon as Yangzhiyuan broke away and chose to establish its own sect, several branches with good relations immediately responded and announced their separation.

One after another.

All major branches lined up.

Some have long been dissatisfied with Zhao Ziyang's management, while others have great hatred and complaints against the government army and are resentful.

In short, Jingtian Village is now in chaos, and several branches that dislike each other are fighting over resources.

Jiuquyuan, on the other hand, is just for self-protection.

"Now that the situation is critical, I won't say anything more. Jiuquyuan has no ambitions and does not want to shed blood. I just want everyone to live well and live well. Those who are willing to follow me, Jiuquyuan, go to Wangshan and where will we meet? "

Zhong Yunxiu looked at the people in front of him with a low tone.

After that, she greeted Zhong Han and left first.

What is stored in Wangshan is the core resource of Jiuquyuan and the location of the meat field.

All other resources can be thrown away, but this meat field must be fought for.

Everyone was silent, silently thinking about the future, and dispersed without saying a word.

Han Yi also saw Xiao Zhong, Sun Zheng, Liu Song and others, his nominal sworn brothers.

But at this time, everyone seemed to have lost their mood for greetings, smiled slightly, and left quickly.

Han Yi didn't delay. After returning to his residence, he quickly packed his things, took them away and hurried towards Wangshan Mountain.

The location of Wangshan Mountain is also in the Black Miasma Mountains. It is not too far away from Qiyun Mountain, which is convenient for him to collect yesterday's harvest in the secret cave.

rustle

Han Yi looked up at the sky. The sun hadn't come out yet, the clouds were thick, and it started to rain lightly again.

"Why"

He sighed inwardly. Overnight, it seemed that the entire Jingtian Village had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The changes are so big that people can't even react.

But in this world, isn't it like this? Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

At the foot of Wangshan Mountain, in a manor.

The sky was still gloomy, and the pattering raindrops hit the road, making it muddy, making the mountain road even more muddy and difficult to walk.

Zhong Yunxiu stood in the middle of the yard, expressionless, and it was hard to tell what his mood was.

But just by looking at the white knuckles she clenched hard and the slightly trembling lips, it was clear that she was definitely not in a calm mood.

"Yunxiu, there's no need to think too much about it now. If they want to fight, let them fight. We just want to save our lives."

Gongsun Jing stood beside Zhong Yunxiu and said softly.

"I know, but I still feel a little uncomfortable." Zhong Yunxiu sighed.

The familiar environment of decades was shattered in one day and torn into countless pieces.

Those familiar people, familiar homes, familiar experiences, it seems, will never go back.

Gongsun Jing was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her, so she could only hold her hand as a comfort.

The gray drizzle, like silk threads, gradually became denser.

Gradually, more people came to the yard, and it was a bit crowded.

The number of disciples willing to follow the two inner courtyards of Jiuqu Courtyard and Piaoxue Courtyard has reached the limit.

No one rushed over here outside the door.

Zhong Yunxiu looked at the group of people belonging to the Jiuqu Courtyard team and sighed again.

In terms of the number of people, it seems that there are more than before.

But if you look closely, the extra people. Most of them are disciples and relatives who are unfamiliar with their appearance, wearing straw raincoats and carrying large and small bags.

The people who are really capable of fighting are less than a dozen people gathered in the inner courtyard just now.

This means that many people in Jiuquyuan are not optimistic about the future of Jiuquyuan, so they disappeared at this critical moment.

Zhong Yunxiu looked at the team intently, Han Yi, Xiao Zhong and others were all there.

On the contrary, the two who were known as the twin stars of Jiuquyuan and were praised as the leaders of the next generation, Song Qiaoer and Zhou Qi, did not come.

She had seen them in the main hall just now.

It is impossible for them not to know the meaning of this matter, so they made their own choices at this time.

Song Qiaoer and Zhou Qi are both talented. They have cultivated to the third level of true skills at a young age. Their looks are not bad.

The only thing they lack is resources, or background.

The two were originally the children of the old disciples of Jiuquyuan. They were found and sent to Jiuquyuan for training.

However, the small temple of Jiuquyuan seems to be unable to accommodate two great gods.

In fact, the differences had already occurred when Zhong Yunxiu decided to shrink comprehensively in order to protect herself, and they were irreparable.

Shrink to protect yourself, avoid chaos, and reappear after the situation is clear.

This cannot be said to be wrong, it can be said to be an old strategy.

But comprehensive shrinkage means that most industries must be abandoned, and most resources must be ruthlessly abandoned.

Only a few core industries can be left.

Like the meat field in Wangshan, or the Qiyun Mountain where Han Yi is.

The former is for martial arts training and daily maintenance. The latter is for weapons and equipment manufacturing and logistics.

It is difficult to retain the rest of the industries.

In this way, Jiuquyuan has few resources and strong strength, and will be regarded as a hard bone by others and unwilling to provoke.

But there are pros and cons. Abandoning most of the industries means that the welfare resources supplied to the inner courtyard disciples will be greatly reduced.

Before Jiuquyuan became independent, the resources that could be supplied to each disciple and the income in the industry were just to maintain it.

Song Qiaoer and Zhou Qi could still stay at that time.

But now, there are not enough resources and the future is uncertain. It is said to be self-protection and self-preservation. In fact, isn’t it just to avoid being implicated and find a place to hide?

The two were not very old, and they were in their prime years, and they were just in the rising period of martial arts.

They did not agree with this kind of behavior of being tolerant and forbearing, and not having to endure hardships.

Of course, leaving Jiuquyuan meant that they could not get the subsequent skills of Hanyin Jiuqu Palm, and could only practice to the third level at most.

But staying in this corner of the mountain, with a shortage of resources, it was not certain that they could practice.

So, they simply gave up Jiuquyuan, looked for another way out, and chose real skills again.

"I heard that the two of them were valued by the You family, and they were recruited and regarded as key training targets. They were not short of real skills and resources, but they needed to work hard for the You family for ten years."

Zhong Han explained in a low voice on the side.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

The most important thing for martial artists to practice is still inseparable from one word.

Money.

Take Tao Yaohui for example, even if he is not talented, he can still break through quickly with the unlimited resources provided by her sister Tao Qingtang.

Therefore, the choices made by Song Qiaoer and Zhou Qi were not right or wrong, but different.

Zhong Yunxiu also understood this, so she was not angry, but she was a little sad.

But she believed that there were always some things that were more important than simple money.

For example,

She looked at the old disciples in the team.

Let alone their family members.

The youngest of these disciples must be in their twenties, and the older ones were in their thirties or forties.

It was not that they had no other choice, but that they came with their wives and children.

It was pure love, true love.

Even for this trust, she, the head of the academy, had to take responsibility to the end.

Zhong Yunxiu put aside all her weak emotions and her eyes became firm again.

"This incident happened suddenly, and you can come together, all..." She wanted to say something, but suddenly she choked up and couldn't speak.

"Master, what are you talking about? Practicing martial arts is one thing, but if you really become stupid from practicing martial arts and even throw away the most basic sense of propriety, what's the point?" Xiao Zhong grinned and said, "Everyone knows the situation in the inner courtyard. Those who can come here are prepared. If you have any orders, just tell me directly."

Unlike other disciples in Jiuqu Academy, Xiao Zhong's family conditions are good, and several of his family members have positions in the palace army.

It's not that he has no place to go, but as the chief senior brother of Jiuqu Academy, he can't bear to leave out of conscience and responsibility.

"Yes, the head of the academy should speak directly. We will do our best."

"Yes, everyone knows that things have come to this point today. It has nothing to do with you. It is their fault."

"Now time is urgent. If we make arrangements early, we can deal with it early and have more bargaining chips in hand. I see that Yangzhi Academy has already started to act."

With Xiao Zhong speaking, everyone responded with a sincere tone.

Zhong Yunxiu's face finally showed some joy, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Although Jiuqu Academy has few people and weak strength, it is not useless.

There are few people, but they are united, but those who can stay are sincere and honest.

The overall cohesion is naturally stronger than other branches.

This is an extremely valuable point.

With the people's hearts, why worry about not getting things done?

Zhong Yunxiu looked at the people in front of the team, Zhong Han, Xiao Zhong, and Han Yi.

Leaving Zhong Han aside, Xiao Zhong and Han Yi, with their skills, no matter which force they join, they can get a good position.

The two of them were determined and continued to follow without any complaints, which showed their true love.

Among the three of them, Zhong Han, who had the strongest strength, had entered the Inscription Period, which was the eighth level of True Skill. Han Yi, who had the weakest strength, also had the sixth level of True Skill, which should not be underestimated.

This was the high-end combat power in Jiuqu Academy besides her.

Therefore, the most important thing was to arrange for the three of them.

With the three of them, Jiuqu Academy could temporarily hold up the situation.

"Xiao Zhong, you continue to be the chief, take care of the new disciples, and be responsible for the affairs of many disciples in the sect. Hanhan, you are responsible for external affairs, communicating with other forces, and keeping in touch."

Zhong Yunxiu gave orders one by one.

Finally, she looked at Han Yi: "Xiao Yi, you still stay in Qiyun Mountain, and you will be responsible for the supply of various weapons, clothes, logistics, etc., how about it?"

"Okay." Han Yi nodded without hesitation.

"The situation in the village is chaotic now. No one can tell who is the enemy or the friend, who is the human or the ghost. But I believe that this chaos will end sooner or later, and we will have a chance to come back.

From today on, my Jiuqu Academy will be independent and renamed Jiuqu Sect. We don't care about the disputes between other branches. As long as everyone unites and defends this place, the meat field is still there, and our future hope is there!"

Zhong Yunxiu faced everyone with a firm tone, which gave people a lot of exciting hope.
