In the martial arts arena.

Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju were practicing a set of sword techniques together. They were already good at delivering fast items, but this sword technique was even more characterized by speed. The sword light flickered for a moment, making Su Yuan dazzled.

"Master, is this what you taught them?" Su Yuan asked Zhen Miao who was standing aside.

Since the appearance of Zhenmiao, Su Yuan has been practicing Jueyuan Tonghui Kung for an hour every morning. Meilanzhuju has received her guidance in both internal skills and realm.

Now the four of them have broken through the innate realm, and the eldest sister Mei Jian has broken through three levels in a row, and is now at the third level of innate level, even surpassing Chu Changning who took the elixir.

On the one hand, it is because of her outstanding talent, and on the other hand, it is because of the guidance of the teacher Zhenmiao.

"Yes." Zhenmiao looked at the four women on the stage and said, "This is a set of combined fencing techniques, which is just right for them."

"Looks pretty awesome."

"When they break through to the master realm and join forces to use this sword technique, the power will be multiplied several times. Even enemies with a lower realm than the two of them will not be able to defeat easily."

"Grandmaster..."

Su Yuan heard that this realm that ordinary warriors dreamed of and could not achieve seemed to be ordinary in Zhen Miao's mouth.

He asked curiously: "Master, it's not easy to break through to the master level, isn't it? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few masters in the world."

Zhenmiao nodded and said: "That's true. The master level requires a lot of talent. But don't worry, your four guards are very talented. It's no problem to break through the master level."

"What about Grandmaster?"

"Then it depends on one's destiny." Zhen Miao looked a bit sad, "The realm of a great master mainly lies in the mysterious and profound enlightenment. Once enlightened, all laws will be clear. If you don't understand, a hundred years of hard work will eventually become a mirror, a castle in the air.

.”

After Zhenmiao said that, she turned to look at Su Yuan: "Why, are you interested in practicing martial arts again?"

Su Yuan shook his head: "I'm just curious. Because I have to offend a big gang recently. And even if I am interested, it is too late to practice martial arts now."

"That's not necessarily true. It is often said that you should practice martial arts early, mainly because some hard skills need to be practiced before the bones are formed. But other martial arts will not hinder you. It's just that you are busy with military affairs, so even if I teach you, I probably won't have time to practice.

"

"Well...it's true."

Su Yuan doesn't have much free time every day now. He really can't practice martial arts for hours and hours every day like a professional martial artist.

"Also, what gang did you offend?" Zhenmiao asked curiously.

"Beggars, do you understand Grand Master? Probably not. Aren't you practicing in the mountains all year round?"

"The Beggar Clan... I did have a relationship with its leader. But I'm afraid he is the former leader now."

What?

Su Yuan was infinitely curious and looked at Zhen Miao, waiting for her to continue.

At this time, Sijian also finished practicing his swordsmanship and came down from the martial arts stage.

Zhen Miao said: "That happened fifty years ago. The gang leader was a martial arts fanatic. At that time, he went to Taiyi Mountain Gate alone to challenge. I was a guest at Taiyi Road that day, so I met him once."

Taiyi is a guest...

Su Yuan couldn't help but be more curious about the inheritance of Zhen Miao. He knew that compared to the false largest gang like the Beggar Clan, Taiyi Daoyao was the real leader in the martial arts world and the leader of the right path.

He heard Chu Changning say that countless warriors in the world dream of going to the Taiyi Mountain Gate. If they are lucky enough to be given a few words of advice from a real person on the mountain, they will definitely advance greatly.

For the Zhenmiao Master Sect to be treated as a guest by Taiyi Dao, the origin may be even more terrifying.

But that's not the point. The point is that the "martial arts idiot" former gang leader must be very powerful. If he turns against the Beggar Clan and attracts that person...

Su Yuan asked: "Master Tai, can you beat that guy?"

"Huh?" Zhen Miao saw Su Yuan's nervous expression and thought of his worries, so she smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, he is not my opponent yet."

"That's good...Master Tai, please tell me more about it!"

Su Yuan really wanted to hear Zhenmiao talk about some of the masters' stories, which always gave him a sense of legend.

He couldn't hear this kind of thing from Chu Changning. There was nothing he could do about it. The latter usually didn't have access to the top people in the world.

Zhenmiao was not impatient, but when she wanted to tell more, someone came to Su Yuan to report.

Seeing that he had official business, Zhen Miao said we would talk to him next time and left.

Su Yuan didn't say enough, but business was important. He took the information, which was news from the capital.

Emperor Qingxiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty has officially announced that he will mobilize an army of 450,000 to attack Su Yuan and recapture Mozhou. Li Shengtian will lead the army and temporarily confer him the title of General of the Northern Conquest.

"Li Shengtian..."

When Su Yuan saw this name, ripples appeared in his memory.

Su Tufeng once mentioned this man to the original owner, saying that he was a rare military wizard. Although he was young, he was more stable than some veteran generals in deploying troops and generals.

In other words, this Li Shengtian is not a pustule who relied on nepotism to rise to power like Gongsun Kuo, but a general who can really fight and knows how to fight.

"An army of four hundred and fifty thousand is quite a lot."

Su Yuan chewed on the number, and gradually a smile appeared on his face.

He was still thinking about how to better capture Qingzhou.

Now, he didn't need to take the initiative, but the enemy made the first move.

It is estimated that most of the 450,000 troops come from Qingzhou... In other words, as long as this army is defeated, Qingzhou will be able to take advantage of it.

"The large grassland outside Tianmen Pass is the perfect terrain for cavalry. Li Shengtian should also know this, right? I don't know how he will fight this battle."

Su Yuan had some expectations in his heart.

But right now he had to deal with one thing first.

Not long after, Shen Lian arrived.

Su Yuan asked him: "Have you confirmed where you will live?"

"Reporting to your lord, everything is confirmed."

"Very good, then go ahead and don't let anyone go."

"My subordinate understands."

This time Shen Lian did not lead the Royal Guards, so Su Yuan transferred all the Jinyi guards in the city to him and asked him to take them to arrest people.

Who should be arrested? Naturally, they are the little leaders of the beggar gang.

He said earlier that he would give Yu Datong three days to think about it, which was actually a lie, or a lead-in.

He knew very well that a guy like Yu Datong would never be willing to disband the Beggar Clan. He would only agree perfunctorily on the surface and continue to do some shameless things in private.

For this reason, Su Yuan had already sent people to follow him secretly, and successfully discovered the gathering between him and his subordinates.

To get rid of the beggar gang branch in Taiyuan, these little bosses are the key. As long as they are all arrested, the people below will become headless flies and will naturally disperse.

However, these little bosses Shen Lian and other Jin Yiwei can deal with them, but the elder Yu Datong is not something they can defeat.

That day when I came to Datong's house, Su Yuan later asked Zhenmiao that his realm was at the fifth level of innateness, enough to be called a master.

To deal with such a master, Su Yuan could only send out a large army to kill him in the past, but he can still do it now, but if he does so in the city, he may hurt innocent people.

If the four of Mei, Lan, Bamboo and Ju join forces, they will be able to fight, but if Yu Datong chooses to escape, it will be difficult for Si Jian to keep him.

So, Su Yuan naturally thought of someone.

"Your Majesty."

After Jiawu arrived, he stood in front of him and waited quietly.

Su Yuan did not directly ask him to kill people, but first explained the reason why Yu Datong came to him.

He doesn't want to be like Fu Chengyang, who kills people just by giving him a name, without any reason or conditions.

If he wants someone to kill someone, he must explain clearly to the killer why he wants to kill the person. Only in this way can the killer be willing to do such a thing.

To use Su Yuan's words before traveling through time, it is necessary to fully mobilize people's subjective initiative.

Like Fu Chengyang, who relies purely on coercion and coercion to make people sacrifice their lives, when he loses his strength, those who sacrifice their lives for him will only use more cruel methods to retaliate against him.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Jiawu listened quietly to everything Su Yuan said and expressed his understanding.

"I will destroy him and bring him back."

"good."

Su Yuan didn't want to kill Yu Datong directly. He had to let Shen Lian interrogate him carefully and dig out the dirty things he had done over the years. He also had to dig deeper into his contact methods with the chief helm and other information.

Just like what Su Yuan said to Zhen Miao, he knew that he would offend the Beggar Clan, but he had to offend him. Moreover, if the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan had the same virtue as the sub-commander, then sooner or later he would also offend him.

The main rudder was also eradicated.

Jiawu went to take action, while Su Yuan stayed at home, waiting for news from them.

About half an hour later, A5 came back first.

He was holding the unconscious Yu Datong in his hand. The latter had bloody holes in his shoulders, wrists and ankles. He looked like he was "wasted" as Jiawu said.

Jiawu threw him to the ground, and Su Yuan immediately asked someone to take him to the prison and imprison him.

"Jia Wu, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. For such people, Jiawu will kill as many as the prince wants Jiawu to kill. Because Jiawu knows that the fewer such people there are, the cleaner the world will be."

"..."

Su Yuan looked at Jiawu and felt that he seemed to be a young man with a relatively simple mind.

Seeing him wrapping the lower half of his face with gray cloth, Su Yuan thought to himself if there was any magic pill that could cure his facial injuries.

I'll ask Master Tai later.

Su Yuan thought about it and said, "Okay, then Jiawu, you go back first."

About half an hour passed after Jiawu left, and Shen Lian came back.

"Sir, there are seventeen people in total, all of them were captured, and no one escaped."

"Very good. Yu Datong has also been arrested and is now in prison. I want you to interrogate him personally and dig out everything you know about him."

"yes."

What Su Yuan valued most was efficiency, and when summoning soldiers, efficiency was his top priority.

That night, before he could sleep, Shen Lian, who had been interrogated in the prison for several hours, took all the information he had obtained.

Shen Lian said: "That Yu Datong is really greedy for life and afraid of death. His subordinates only used some small punishments casually, but he used all the punishments he could."

"Normal." Su Yuan was not surprised by this.

Generally speaking, people who are accustomed to fine food and clothing have a very low tolerance threshold for pain.

This is true even for people in the world of martial arts. For someone like Yu Datong, even though he has the fifth level of innate ability, his actual fighting ability is probably only the third and fourth levels. His long life of luxury has long since stopped him from practicing diligently.

This is why A5 can easily capture it.

At this moment, Su Yuan looked at the information that Shen Lian had interrogated, including the actual number of disciples of the Beggar Clan in the Taiyuan branch, their distribution, and their contact information with the chief helmsman. He even asked the chief helmsman for help and asked the chief helmsman to send experts over... Yu Datong explained everything.

Among them, the one that Su Yuan paid more attention to was the master helmsman.

Yu Datong is at the fifth level of innate talent. For him to be called a master, he must be at least at the same level as A-5? Or even higher than A-5.

It is possible to have nine or ten innate levels.

If such a master sneaked into Taiyuan, Su Yuan was not worried about his own safety, only worried about causing some damage to the city.

He thought for a moment and told Shen Lian: "Now that the person has just been caught and the news is blocked, you should immediately use their communication method to disguise a letter and send it to the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan."

"Sir, what should I write in the letter?"

"...Ask the experts sent by the chief rudder to go to a designated location."

Su Yuan planned to arrange an ambush in advance and try to kill the master at the minimum cost.

"My subordinate understands."

"Also, the Jin Yiwei over there in Qingzhou, please ask them to pay more attention to the movements of the imperial army recently."

"Sir, my subordinates have already told me that as soon as the army moves, the brothers over there will immediately send the news back."

"That's good."

"Your Majesty has no other instructions, so I will take my leave first and ask you to rest early."

"Okay, you go."

After Shen Lian left, Su Yuan rubbed his brow.

He was not idle at the end of the day. When he thought about it, there were a lot of things. The bigger the territory, the more troubles he had.

This made him miss the past when there was only Beifeng City. At that time, there was nothing much to do every day and it was very leisurely. Now... there is no way he can go back anyway.

"Forget it, go to bed early, I can summon you again tomorrow!"

Su Yuan thought that the cooling time of his "plug-in" would improve again, and went back to the room to fall asleep with anticipation.

After a night of silence, he woke up the next morning, opened the quilt, sat up, and took out the Heavenly Soldier Talisman.

"This time, it would be great if we could have some infantry who are good at ground combat!"

Su Yuan's next target is Qingzhou. If there is a large-scale infantry regiment, it will definitely be beneficial to the war. Otherwise, it always feels weird and a bit wasteful to always let the Xiliang cavalry dismount and fight on foot.

call!

After secretly "making a wish", Su Yuan chose to summon.

What surprised him was that the changes in the light curtain this time seemed a little different from before. They were not just words, but lines, as if they were forming a painting.

What's going on?

Su Yuan had summoned it so many times, but this was the first time such a change occurred. He stared at the light screen closely, and it took a while for the lines to become fixed and form a portrait.

It turned out to be a portrait of a general in white robes and a white horse, holding a bright silver spear. When he saw the details, Su Yuan was stunned.
