It is laughable that the northern barbarians threaten Kyoto with such a force.

Kyoto is home to many powerful people from all over the world. Both the Pure Land Sect and Xuankong Mountain have top figures, including a Martial Saint.

The royal family itself has an extremely strong background, so it is too outrageous to say that it is threatened by the northern barbarians.

I find this news outrageous, extremely outrageous.

How many people did not work hard, and how many people watched indifferently, to lead to such an outcome and consequences.

The most powerful capital in the world was threatened by a group of barbarian soldiers and was driven out to the city.

This is outrageous.

Even the beam of light falling from the sky, the light that could directly kill the Martial Saint, could be resisted by Kyoto, but a team of barbarian soldiers couldn't resist it?

I feel like this is a joke, and among the secret information coming from Donglin Temple.

There was a problem with Kyoto's protective formation, and the three Tianyuan cannons captured by the northern barbarians happened to rush in through the loophole that day and hit the interior of Kyoto.

The cannons penetrated deep into the imperial palace, destroying many palaces, and many palace maids and servants died in the turmoil.

The whole of Kyoto was in panic.

From this perspective, Kyoto really seems to be in a very dangerous state.

"Coincidence... Oh, coincidence!"

I really don't know how to evaluate this, but most of the Martial Saint-level characters were very calm.

They took such events for granted. Historically, the struggle for the royal throne was extremely terrifying. In the fierce moments of the past, even martial saint-level figures had fallen.

And now these saintless-level figures have also learned one thing, that is, when the struggle for the throne occurs, they are better off watching from the sidelines.

The Martial Saint is free and at ease, and at least others cannot force him to do something, so if they just watch from the sidelines, they will at most lose.

In any case, they will not be held responsible for the retribution after the other party ascends the throne.

On the contrary, if he intervened too deeply in this incident and stood on the wrong side, even if he was called a Martial Saint and was remembered by a living emperor, it would be easy for problems to arise.

He doesn't even need to wait until he ascends the throne. He may die in a fierce battle before he ascends the throne.

I was not very clear about these unspoken rules, but after listening to their explanation, I understood them deeply.

The eldest prince returned to the capital with a large army, food and supplies. However, before he reached Kyoto, the previously invincible northern barbarians suddenly retreated.

I was speechless when I heard the news.

At this time, even if they went back to the southeast coast, the originally damaged formation should have been repaired by the Kingdom of the Rising Sun with all its might.

Moreover, after the eldest prince returns to the court, the civil and military officials as well as the relevant royal relatives will not let him leave immediately, at least to ensure the stability of the Kyoto area.

The efforts on the southeast coast were completely wasted.

The events at the northern border seemed like an illusion, and no one investigated them from beginning to end.

It's not that no one investigated. Kyoto still issued an order, reprimanding the general guarding the northern border for his poor performance, and at the same time promoted another deputy general of the northern border.

This effectively amounts to no change.

But it is not difficult to guess that the eldest prince's lineage would make such a choice.

Many things on the northern border are complicated to begin with, especially since a great war had just taken place and the soldiers on the northern border suffered heavy casualties. Now that a harsh order has been issued, many soldiers on the northern border will have complaints in their hearts no matter what.

On the other hand, the situation at the northern border is quite complicated. A war is about to break out, and changing generals at the last minute would be a very unwise move.

There are people in Kyoto who are capable of leading troops in battle, but these people are not very familiar with the northern border. Secondly, even if they are familiar with many things such as the border defense strategy of the northern border, they have not been to that area for some time and are not very familiar with the officers and soldiers under their command.

Changing generals at the last minute is a big taboo!

Therefore, although only a main general was replaced, Kyoto also sent several deputy generals to participate in the construction of the northern border.

The eldest prince wants to seize power by gentle means. He will first send a certain number of people to familiarize themselves with the people at the northern border and win over their hearts. After a certain period of transition, he will directly replace the generals.

Well, this method seems familiar to me.

His methods and actions are basically the same as those of the deceased emperor. It can be said that as the eldest prince, he is worthy of being his legitimate son. He was taught by him, and his strategies and methods are inherited from him.

I don’t want to think too much about these complicated things. I just want to complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra as soon as possible in Donglin Temple.

I never thought that even though I didn't want to get involved in all this trouble, things still came to me.

The third prince, who had been hiding for a long time, suddenly came to my door and very politely gave me a large number of gifts.

Including the ninth mark of the True Dragon Body, which I want the most, look forward to the most, but have not yet obtained.

The prince even gave me a real dragon inner elixir.

Yes, it is the true dragon inner elixir left behind by a martial saint after his nirvana.

Compared to his efforts, the Third Prince's request is insignificant. He hopes that I can perfect the body of a true dragon.

There is no doubt that someone among the Martial Saints who comprehended the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra and the Nine Transformations of Dragons and Snakes with me leaked the information.

Alas, it was said before that it would be better for the Martial Saint to just sit back and watch, and not get involved in the fight between two real dragons.

What they said was first-rate, but they also participated in it very quickly.

Someone revealed the Eighth Level of the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake to the Third Prince, but there was no one from the Pure Land Sect among the people invited this time. It seemed that the Third Prince had received support from more than just the Pure Land Sect within the Buddhist lineage.
