Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

"World Honored One..."

Inside the tent, Bai Yue'er walked in from outside.

In the center of the tent, Gao Yi's legs were bent over, and he was slowly swaying in a unique posture.

Upon seeing Bai Yue'er arrive, Gao Yi let out a slight breath and then slowly put away his fist stance.

"No, Master, I forgot for a moment. Please forgive me."

Before Gao Yi could speak, Bai Yue'er lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

"There's no one else around, so there's no need to worry too much," Gao Yi waved his hand.

The reason for this is that he made the relevant arrangements in advance.

It's not that I want to keep it from everyone, I just want to avoid as much trouble as possible.

Many things in the Maitreya religion are too sensitive.

Being too flamboyant can easily lead to trouble.

Of course, many things, once they existed, cannot be completely erased.

Just like Zhao Deyan back then, he discovered the truth behind the falsehood.

However, that was the tribe from before, which was too deeply influenced by the Maitreya religion.

The new tribes today are clearly not at the same level as before.

Of course, this does not mean that Gao Yi is preparing to abandon the Maitreya sect.

If he had such thoughts, he would never have risked fighting against the Kao Shan Army in the first place.

On the contrary, Gao Yi actually valued the Maitreya religion, or rather the Maitreya religion system, quite a lot.

The reason for this is because of the current time period.

Now is arguably the crucial time for him to shift his focus and move into the Central Plains.

At this time, it is natural to avoid all trouble as much as possible.

Once he sets foot in the Central Plains and truly establishes himself, that will be the time when the world is truly vast and open.

That's when his sect will unleash its true potential.

In short, I am not yet strong, but things will change once I am strong.

"What? They've all been sent away?"

Gao Yi looked up at Bai Yue'er.

"Yes, they've all been sent away, but that Grandmaster disciple doesn't seem too satisfied," Bai Yue'er replied.

The Grandmaster's disciple naturally refers to Fu Junzhuo.

In that battle, the old man launched a sneak attack, and it took Fu Junzhuo three whole days to barely recover her strength.

However, after that, Gao Yi was not as polite as he was during their first meeting.

He didn't even show up; it was Bai Yue'er who always received Fu Junzhuo.

Given this situation, it's understandable that the other party would be dissatisfied.

If she hadn't been still recovering from her injuries, this Rakshasa woman probably would have attacked directly.

Gao Yi chuckled lightly, completely ignoring him.

He didn't take Fu Junzhuo seriously at all.

That was only because of the other people present at the time.

He's not polite to everyone, and he's not some kind of pushover.

He was polite to the old man because he wanted to take advantage of the Lu family's connections, and he also had ulterior motives towards Lu Lingfeng.

As for Fu Junzhuo, there was nothing about the other party that he found appealing.

Oh, maybe this will unlock the third reward for the scroll painting, but that's about it.

As for Fu Cailin, although his opponent was a grandmaster, he would basically never leave Goguryeo unless the sky were to fall.

Such a grandmaster, who stayed in his hometown, was actually just so-so.

In Gao Yi's eyes, Bai Ziting was more valuable than Fu Junzhuo.

The other party controls the Sumo tribe and has connections with Funantha and the Uyghurs.

Even in terms of influence on Goguryeo, Bai Ziting was greater than Fu Junzhuo.

Fu Cailin's status in Goguryeo is self-evident; it's almost mythical.

But this status actually had no effect on Gao Yi.

He would not befriend Goguryeo, and given Fu Cailin's personality, all his actions would prioritize Goguryeo.

It's difficult to have any common ground or point of cooperation with someone like that.

In contrast, Bai Ziting is a different story.

Those were people who were willing to do anything to establish a nation.

Such a person should never be a friend, but if there is mutual benefit, cooperation will be extremely smooth.

Bai Ziting also had connections within Goguryeo, namely Gaesomun.

This was a powerful minister in Goguryeo, who had even gradually suppressed the Go clan royal family.

If it weren't for the external pressure from the Sui Dynasty and the presence of Fu Cailin, Goguryeo would probably have changed hands long ago.

"Where is Bai Ziting?" Gao Yi asked with a smile.

"He was very satisfied, his face was full of smiles, and he kept repeating that he wanted to come and visit again," Bai Yue'er replied.

Gao Yi nodded, but it's hard to judge whether someone is satisfied or not based on just one sentence.

Someone like Bai Ziting wouldn't let Bai Yue'er see his dissatisfaction, even if he had it.

However, the relationship with Bai Ziting can indeed be maintained.

This is a crucial point to consider when making a move.

Starting from him, if handled well, one can directly influence the situation of several countries, and even cause fluctuations in the world.

Of course, this was just a thought in Gao Yi's mind.

Even if we were to do it, it's far too early.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is far more important than anything else.

"Brother Gao, Brother Gao..."

Sure enough, what I was thinking about came true. Just as I had settled down, Lu Lingfeng's voice came from outside.

Gao Yi's eyes flickered slightly, then he quickly smiled and said:

"Ling Feng, what's the matter? Come in and talk."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Lingfeng burst in.

Compared to before, after several exchanges with Gao Yi, Lu Lingfeng's personality seems to have changed somewhat.

They've become noticeably more active.

However, in contrast, the other person's eyes became even more honest and straightforward.

"Well……"

Gao Yi shook his head, wondering what the old man would think when he saw this grand-nephew who didn't seem very bright at first glance.

"Ling Feng, what happened?"

"Brother Gao, the weapons and armor sent by Uncle have arrived." Lu Lingfeng responded immediately.

"Oh?"

Gao Yi's eyes lit up: "Old Lu's actions are quite swift."

Gao Yi had a lot of discussions with the old man that day.

A mere verbal explanation of the Yellow Heaven Great Law was certainly not enough to persuade Gao Yi, even though he himself wanted to enter the pass.

Besides the techniques, the two also discussed many other things.

Weapons and armor are among them.

They roamed the grasslands for thousands of miles and annexed dozens of tribes.

Gao Yi certainly has no shortage of warhorses.

However, weapons and armor are different; they are special products of the Central Plains, and there are no conditions for their production in the entire border region. Even if you wanted to rob them, there was nowhere to rob them.

"Very good, Yue'er, you and Ling Feng go to receive it."

Gao Yi smiled with satisfaction.

"By the way, Brother Gao, Uncle also asked in his letter when you plan to set off."

"Ling Feng, how many soldiers and armor were delivered this time?"

"It can be equipped with three to four thousand people."

Gao Yi nodded: "I also want to make the trip as soon as possible, but Ling Feng, you know the size of my tribe. Three thousand armored soldiers are not enough to equip us."

"Moreover, there is a large number of civilians. Although these people do not need weapons, they still need to make a living after migrating, and it is impossible to graze livestock in the Central Plains."

"Therefore, farming tools, good seeds, and even fields are indispensable; otherwise, after the migration, there would be widespread famine."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Lingfeng nodded repeatedly: "Brother Gao is right. I'll go write a letter to inform my uncle right away. No, my uncle is very busy, um... I'll write to him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Lingfeng rushed out of the tent in a great hurry.

Gao Yi's smile faded, and he turned to look at Bai Yue'er:

"Moon, make the arrangements as instructed before. It's almost time. Prepare to enter the pass."
