The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang.
The bustling day has ended. This majestic city, which will become the earliest capital in China, has the most dynasties, and has the longest history, is slowly falling into sleep, waiting for the arrival of a new day.
Cheng Peng was sitting in a private room of a tavern, drinking alone. There was nothing on the table except a flask of water and wine, and only a newspaper.
This newspaper called "China Special News" is officially run by the game. It selects some major events in Asia to report every day, and will also follow up on some longer events. However, the game managers did not use it.
Instead of providing special authority to assist with interviews, press releases are openly solicited from all players and the best are published. It can also be regarded as an important stage for young literary people to showcase their talents.
In the past, special reports from China were sent to people's mailboxes in the form of electronic documents with videos, pictures, and text. Afterwards, after suggestions from players, they were changed to this newspaper format, which indeed looks much more friendly.
However, the appearance can change, but the content cannot - Cheng Peng is seemingly reading a newspaper, but in fact he is still reading an electronic document containing a video.
There are many colorful and interesting events in the daily reports. He drinks the news and enjoys himself very much.
After a while, the door of the box was pushed open, and several young people filed in. In the front were Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and behind were Qiao Xi, Wei Zhun and Luo Yu.
"Brother Cheng?" Kou Zhong was overjoyed when he saw that the person sitting here waiting for them was his good friend Cheng Peng, and he shouted happily.
Cheng Peng put down the newspaper, stood up with a smile to greet them, and greeted the waiter who followed everyone in to serve them wine and food.
If it were just NPCs, they would have no choice but to take a rest at nightfall - the curfew was no joke, but the players' privileges came into play here. The waiter's eyes turned back and forth on Kou and Xu and several players.
, finally nodded, announced the name of the dish as if singing, and went out.
This is the benefit for players, they can buy food and drink at any time.
A sumptuous banquet was quickly served, and everyone was obviously hungry, so they started eating with chopsticks without any hesitation.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Cheng Peng asked about Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's experiences during this period.
This was actually a very knowing thing. He had already known the glorious deeds of these two little brothers through the player's channels: After leaving Pegasus Ranch, Kou and Xu traveled around Jingxiang, and soon by chance, they actually occupied
In the heroic city of Xiangyang, a team called the "Young Marshal's Army" was assembled and received assistance from a large number of players. Although they encountered a strong enemy and were defeated in Xiangyang soon after, the main force of the Young Marshal's Army did not suffer.
It was such a big loss that I soon settled down again.
At this time, the commander of the Young Marshal Army, Kou Zhong, was inspired by the players and issued a declaration that shocked the world.
The Shaoshuai Army will attack the wealthy families, suppress the powerful families, and establish a country based on the lower class people. Through official education and imperial examinations, officials will be directly selected from the people, and the long-standing situation of aristocratic families controlling all social rights will be completely solved!
This declaration naturally made them the target of public criticism. Fortunately, the world today is in chaos, with powerful forces from all walks of life fighting endlessly. The young commander's army is surrounded by enemies, so he doesn't care about causing any more trouble.
As for giants such as the Li family in Guanzhong and the Song family in Sichuan and Shu - Kou Zhong solved this problem with a very simple statement: "If we can achieve something and win the hearts of the people in the world, which family can stop us? And if we can't achieve something,
Regardless of whether you are defeated or killed, what does it matter who kills you?"
His free and easy words convinced everyone, so everyone really united firmly around him and fought to turn the ideal society he described into reality.
Time flies and the battle is like fire.
After a few months of playing the game, the plot of the story has advanced a lot, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have also grown a lot. Kou Zhong is stronger, his skin is slightly darker due to years of sun exposure, and he has a lot of scars on his face and body. Look
He looks more mature and steady; Xu Ziling has grown taller and looks a little thinner, with no traces of battle left on his fair skin, and his temperament is more elegant and free, just like a celebrity from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
At the same time, their strength has also been greatly improved. Now they have reached the peak of three stars and are only one step away from reaching four stars.
"We originally thought that we have fought a lot during this period and have made great progress in our kung fu. We may be able to get closer to you, Brother Cheng. Unexpectedly, we haven't seen you for a while. Brother, you have made further progress - I am afraid that even those
The famous masters in the world are no longer your opponents, right?" Kou Zhong said with a smile.
Cheng Peng raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head.
"The term "big master" is too broad. For example, Ren Shaoming, the 'Qinglong' who was killed by your brothers, is considered a big master, Li Mi and Zhai Rang are considered big masters, and Yu Wenhuaji is also a big master - of course I can count these people.
But for example, the four great holy monks of the Buddhist sect, a few real people from the Taoist sect, and several masters from the Demonic sect... I probably can't defeat them."
"Speaking of the Demon Sect...I heard from Chief Hou Shan that you are also a member of the Demon Sect, brother, and are you the same sect as him?" Xu Ziling asked curiously, "Isn't that Huajian Sect engaged in culture and art? Brother, you are obviously one.
How come the general is also a member of the Huajian sect?"
The Chief Hou Shan he mentioned was naturally Hou Xibai.
After the Shaoshuai Army issued that astonishing declaration, Hou Xibai took some newly admitted students to the Shaoshuai Army station and joined as the dean of the official school Huajian Academy - now known as the "Mountain Chief"
got them.
Hou Xibai did not hide his identity, and openly displayed the sign of "Huajian School", and publicly declared that he would carry forward the Huajian School, officially enter the society as an academic and artistic school, and appeal to the whole world who are interested in learning.
Literary young people come to study.
This move completely went against the consistent purpose of the Demon Sect, and shocked all the factions in the world. Many masters from both the good and evil factions came to trouble him, but were defeated by him one by one, and finally had to admit his
The magic sect even sent some helpers to help him build the academy.
Of course, most of these people are pawns, and the strongest ones are just the last among the eight masters of the evil sect such as You Niaojuan, the truly tyrannical Zhu Yuyan, Master Liao Kong, and even Ning Daoqi.
Shi Zhixuan and others did not show up, otherwise even if Hou Xibai had broken through the bottleneck and was promoted to five stars, he would definitely not be able to defeat those senior experts and would have to flee - maybe he would not be able to escape.
But in the eyes of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Chief Hou Shan was truly a hero and admirable.
However, no matter how admirable he is, Hou Xibai is still a handsome and erudite scholar. Most of the people in the Huajian Sect also have this image. Even Qiao Xi spends all his time pointing out the country with a feather fan and silk scarf, which is completely different from Cheng Peng, a typical martial artist.
different.
So when they learned that Cheng Peng was actually a member of the Huajian sect, they were really surprised and wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.
"There are many reasons why I joined the Huajian Sect...but generally speaking, I have a very good relationship with Sect Master Hou, and we are indeed the elders of the Huajian Sect." Cheng Peng nodded and added the name of the elder of his Demon Sect.
After admitting his identity, he changed the subject and asked Kou and Xu why they came to Luoyang.
In fact, these words were knowingly asked. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling left the young commander's army and traveled far away, and even took the risk to sneak into the territory of Wang Shichong of Luoyang, who was hostile to them, for the sake of military affairs.
Not long ago, "Cihang Jingzhai", the representative of the righteous way, sent Shi Feixuan, the most proud disciple of the contemporary era, to step into the world of mortals with the eternal treasure and clan jade - or the national jade seal, saying that he would bring peace to the world.
Choose a Mr. Right.
Now, she is in Luoyang.
Since Kou Zhong wanted to participate in the fight for the world, he naturally could not let something as important as the national jade seal fall into the hands of others. So he asked Hou Xibai to help look after the house, and took his good brother Xu Ziling and a few trusted and capable confidants to secretly
Sneaked into Luoyang, intending to snatch this imperial seal.
"Even if you can't get it, at least try to destroy it!" Kou Zhong said viciously, "If people like Li Clan, Song Clan... or Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and the like get the national jade seal, it will definitely gain momentum.
The price has skyrocketed, and by then we won’t even be able to drink soup, let alone meat!”
Cheng Peng nodded and agreed with his statement.
The so-called general trend of the world actually refers to the people's hearts. People's hearts seem to be ethereal, but in fact there are rules to follow - first of all, you must be able to win the war, and losers have no right to talk about people's hearts; secondly, you must be good to the people, at least not to impose excessive taxes;
Then you have to have a reputation, preferably to be able to establish a relationship with God or something; finally you have to have a good background, if not the fourth generation, at least you are a green-skinned barbarian.
Generally speaking, these are the ways to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Among these, the Young Marshal's Army really doesn't have much advantage.
When it comes to record, they really don't have any impressive record. Although they have won a few battles, one big defeat that even cost Xiangyang was enough to completely wipe out their points in this area.
In terms of reputation, Kou Zhong really doesn't have much reputation - he has neither money nor power, and is neither a cultural celebrity nor a martial arts master.
Several of Dou Jiande's subordinates are not as good as him.
When it comes to his background, Kou Zhong was even more miserable - his parents died when he was young, and he couldn't even remember where his ancestral home was or what his father's name was. He was as miserable as Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty who couldn't find his ancestral grave.
What’s the origin?
Among the four conditions, he also did a good job in "benevolent governance". Although we cannot say that it was a peaceful and prosperous era under the rule of the Young Marshal Army, it could at least be regarded as a rare piece of pure land in this troubled world.
But everyone understands that if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people in the world, it is far from enough to rely on only a quarter of the conditions.
Therefore, Kou Zhong was willing to take a dangerous risk and sneaked into Luoyang to try to seize the imperial seal.
If he can snatch this treasure that has been handed down from generation to generation in China, no matter how he does it, it can at least prove to many superstitious people that destiny is indeed favoring him, Kou Zhong, and he can win the hearts and minds of the people to a great extent.
The reason why Cheng Peng came to the world of Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty was because he received news from Qiao Xi and came to help his good brother complete this important task!
