Reasons (2)
In Lei Guang’s study, Lei Guang ordered his servants to withdraw, asked Gu Sheng to sit down, and asked, “Miss Gu, is there any important matter to discuss?”
Gu Sheng nodded, and said, “City lord Lei, this little girl still has doubts about this alliance, I hope that city lord Lei can clear up the confusion for the little girl.”
Lei Guang nodded and said, “Miss Gu, it’s okay to speak what you want to ask.”
Gu Sheng said, “This little girl remembers that the signatures on the invitation letter are from the two young masters, Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong. I don’t know where these two are now? Will they appear at the meeting later?”
After pondering for a moment, Lei Guang said, “Miss Gu, before answering this question, I hope you can answer a question from me first.”
“City lord Lei, please speak.”
Lei Guang looked into Gu Sheng’s eyes and asked word by word, “I wonder if Miss Gu still has confidence in Chu Qing?”
Regarding Lei Guang’s question, Gu Sheng did not show surprise, but instead asked meaningfully, “I don’t know what the ‘confidence’ mentioned by city lord Lei refers to?”
Lei Guang said bluntly, “Does Miss Gu truly think and believe that brother Chu can defeat Wuling City and the Tiangang Sword Sect to become the real leader of Beizhou?”Gu Sheng did not answer this question directly, but sighed, “As far as I know, there has never been anyone in Beizhou who can sit firmly as the leader for a long time before.”
Although there was no direct answer, Gu Sheng’s words were equivalent to an answer. Obviously, she didn’t think Chu Qing could become the first one in history.
Lei Guang smiled slightly, and asked again, “In Miss Gu’s mind, what kind of person can become the real leader of Beizhou?”
Gu Sheng only replied lightly, “Forgive me for being stupid, I can’t answer this question.”
Lei Guang still continued to ask, “Does Miss Gu think that people like the young masters Yang Hao or Gong Shenglong cannot become the leader of Beizhou?”
Gu Sheng laughed suddenly, “The little girl doesn’t quite understand the question of city lord Lei. Could it be that in the heart of city lord Lei, he actually hopes that there will be a leader in Beizhou?”
Lei Guang looked into Gu Sheng’s eyes, and Gu Sheng smiled back. After a long time, the two laughed at the same time.
Lei Guang said with a smile, “Miss Gu is really kind-hearted and smart. Chu Qing is really lucky to have your help.”
Gu Sheng answered with a smile, “City lord Lei has overpraised. The little girl is just a little daughter of the Gu family, with limited knowledge. If what I said just now offended you, I hope city lord Lei will not take it to heart.”
Lei Guang shook his head and commented, “Miss Gu is too modest. There are not many people who can see through the situation, except for Miss Gu. As for Miss Gu’s previous problem, I will tell you frankly here.”
After a pause, he said, “Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong will both appear at the meeting place.”
Gu Sheng nodded, “Then they are coming here to recommend Chu Qing to the top position?”
Lei Guang smiled and said, “Not bad. Because in this position, there is no one more suitable than Chu Qing.”
Gu Sheng asked again, “I don’t know if the two of them have the confidence to defeat Wuling City and Tiangang Sword Sect?”
Lei Guang smiled helplessly, and said, “Actually, Miss Gu already had the answer in her heart before she asked this question, right? Although she is very unwilling, she has to admit that the strength of Wuling City and the Tiangang Sword Sect is no longer what it used to be. Even if the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect can win the battle, it will be a pyrrhic victory at best. No one will accept this result.”
Hearing Lei Guang’s last words, Gu Sheng immediately understood.
Tiangang Sword Sect, Ziqing Sacred Land, Chongyang Sword Sect, and Xuanlei Sect, as the four super-first-class sects of Beizhou, have existed for thousands of years.
During these thousands of years, the four major sects had many conflicts with each other, and it was not uncommon for them to fight or even go to war.
But no matter how the four major sects fight, there is always room left for the other party, and they will not really wipe out the opponent.
The four major sects can exist for thousands of years, and this is the root cause.
Don’t look at this time the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect united with many families to besiege the Ziqing Sacred Land, but they will not really destroy the inheritance of Ziqing Sacred Land.
The reason is that the four sects constrain each other and restrain each other.
Once one party breaks the balance, it will inevitably attract the fear of other sects.
Not only did Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect understand this truth, but Tiangang Sword Sect also understood it.
The two sides are now in a full-scale war, but the Tiangang Sword Sect has no intention of completely destroying these two sects.
The main purpose of the Tiangang Sword Sect is still to act as a “deterrence,” forcing the two sects not to dare to start a conflict lightly for at least hundreds of years.
To achieve this goal, the Tiangang Sword Sect had to beat the two sects to death until they knew pain.
If possible, the Tiangang Sword Sect would not mind repeating what happened to Ziqing Sacred Land on Chongyang Mountain and Xuanlei Mountain.
Now that the tone has been set, the development of the situation will naturally become clearer.
Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, “It seems that Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong are not all here for the alliance. But the little girl is very curious. Will the Tiangang Sword Sect be willing to accept the statement of the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect?”
Lei Guang shook his head and said, “I don’t know, and neither the Chongyang Sword Sect nor the Xuanlei Sect know. Maybe only the Tiangang Sword Sect knows. But whether they are willing to accept it is one thing. Whether we express our opinion is another matter.”
Gu Sheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she had a rough outline of the future development of the whole situation in his heart.
If she guessed correctly, perhaps this alliance may really change the overall power structure of Beizhou.
It’s just that there is no place for Chu Qing in this power structure…
