Eight hundred and seventieth chapters ninety-nine Chongyang
One step at a time, one step at a time!
The Hundred Steps Divine Fist is more like a long-distance kung fu. Guang Huiqi is on top, but he is always three feet away from Zhu Biao, and his fist arms can stretch and contract even more freely.
Zhu Biao, however, looked like a fish swimming in the water, swaying around Monk Guanghui, kicking his hands and kicking, and his moves were like the sky hanging upside down. A set of "Luoying Divine Sword Palm", waving his arms in all directions.
The shadows of the palms may have five voids and one solid state, or eight voids and one solid state, just like a sudden strong wind in a peach forest, causing thousands of flowers to fall. Their postures are elegant and unrestrained.
Although there is no younger sister and Song Yingzhu who dance like each other and have good-looking postures, they still have a manly strength.
Monk Guang Hui's Hundred Steps Divine Fist was not unskilled, but it was in vain if he couldn't defeat anyone. After a dozen moves, Guang Hui let out a loud roar and suddenly changed his fist technique into palm technique, flying up and down, and his palm movements were also surging.
Then, a series of shots were taken.
Every time he made a move, he used all his true strength, and his palm movements brought about a "whishing" sound of wind, soaring like a roar, and his strength was as heavy as a mountain.
It is another unique skill of Leiyin Temple - the Great Sumeru Palm.
The two figures in the field suddenly moved faster and faster, and finally, only two faint gray shadows were seen, flitting back and forth in the hall.
The wind from the palm stirs the air into a vortex. When the distance is slightly closer, the energy feels like it is being sharpened, and the mouth and nose are suffocated.
The old monk Du Zhen's eyes were half closed and half open, and from the slit of his slightly closed eyes, a shocking cold light shot out.
The situation on the field worried him. His nephew seemed to be on par with Zhu Biao, but Du Zhen, who was familiar with Guang Hui's skills, understood that Guang Hui had tried his best. But his opponent Zhu Biao was able to do it with ease.
, with ease!
Watching the fight in the field, old monk Du Zhen sighed slightly in his heart.
At this time, the two people in the field had already fought hundreds of moves.
Zhu Biao walked faster and faster, and his palms became more powerful. It was hard to tell how many palms he struck with each turn of his body.
Monk Guanghui was now sweating coldly, running down his forehead.
However, he still stood still, his arms stretched and contracted more rapidly, and every time he took out a palm, it would be accompanied by a violent scream.
The sound of scolding followed the thunderous roar of palms, creating a breathtaking scene.
Gradually, the two of them had exchanged more than 150 moves.
At this time, Guang Hui's skills were far less sharp than before, his face was as red as blood, and he was panting. Everyone standing outside the fighting could hear it slightly from a distance of more than ten feet. Although, Monk Guang Hui had been trying his best to suppress it.
The group of people behind Zhu Biao all had proud smiles on their faces. How about Leiyin Temple? You're still as embarrassed as ever!
They quietly waited for Zhu Biao's upcoming victory.
There was even a trace of regret in Song Yannan's heart. It would be wonderful if the head of Wenshu Monastery could be here. Thinking about it, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly──
Zhu Biao shouted loudly, and his body suddenly flew into the air, and then floated down to about three feet away like a white crane.
Following this loud shout, Monk Guanghui took five steps back crookedly.
There was a distinct palm print clearly printed on the front of his white monk's robe. The place where the monk's robe met the palm did not turn into butterfly-like fragments and fly around. Instead, it completely turned into powder and drifted with the wind.
Drifting away without a trace.
Monk Guanghui looked cold, as if he had been mentally prepared for his defeat. He clasped his hands together, bowed to Zhu Biao, and slowly retreated while chanting the name of the Buddha.
He was very calm in his heart, because he had been prepared when he came forward. He could not be Zhu Biao's opponent.
"Amitabha, I wish the benefactor great martial arts. He is worthy of his reputation. He is so good and so good!"
Watuzhen put his hands together and spoke, and a string of silver bells appeared in his hands. "This thing will be kept by the benefactor for the time being. The old monk will visit again later -"
"Master, didn't you come up and give it a hand in person?" Zhu Biao looked at Du Zhen with a smile on his finger, picking up the silver bell.
"I wish the benefactor great martial arts. I am no match for you, so I won't ask for humiliation."
The figures of the eight monks gradually disappeared into the distance, and Zhu Biao started walking with his brows raised. Silver bells, this is a hot potato.
"Brother, this old monk left so happily. Did he have any other plans?" Zhu Cai'er really couldn't see what was good about the string of bells, but he knew that something was going wrong. The first thing in his mind was
I regretted it for the first time, why did I accept it even though it looked good in the first place?
"Never mind him. Stay the same to cope with all changes. If I'm here, Hedong City can't turn the world upside down——"
Zhu Biao also knew that Leiyin Temple would not give up, but people have a face, and face cannot be lost until it is a matter of life and death!
In the following three days, the entire four counties of Hedong have undergone subtle changes. The eyes of the soldiers at the checkpoints in each county are bright, the six-door arrests and the intelligence system controlled by the Liu family are in full operation. Every Jianghu guest who enters Hedong, age
, appearance, sect, number of people, and even martial arts levels are all gathered together and continuously sent to the general's mansion.
After years of management, the four counties of Hedong are not only a country within a country, but the foundation of Zhu Biao is truly a big tree with deep roots, intricate connections and deep roots.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and the turmoil in the world soon caused a large number of Jianghu people to leave the four counties of Hedong. Then all kinds of rumors spread uncontrollably in the Jianghu of Beihan!
Zhu Biao once fought against the sects in the Northern Han Dynasty and against the gangs outside the Northern Han Dynasty. The Zhu family grew from a humble little tycoon to a behemoth in the Northern Territory in ten years. If it is not envied by others, it is not slandered by others.
Argue, that’s impossible.
Now that Zhu Biao and Leiyin Temple, forces that can be called 'giant evils' in the world, have become evil, many people are happy in their hearts. For example, Jiang Qingyan of the Jiuqu Sword Sect!
Although his strength is no longer comparable to that of the Zhu family, Jiang Qingyan has also given up the idea of revenge. But seeing his enemy unlucky, how could Jiang Qingyan be unhappy? Lian Mu, Xuehua, Yin Qiuyue and his wife left Qingyu without saying goodbye.
Mountains didn't stop him from having fun all day long.
Time entered late August, and things started to get bad. First, news came from Zhu Ming that Du Zhen Guanghui and his party, who had withdrawn from the Northern Han Dynasty, stayed in Zhongshan. These days, people from Dalin Temple and Prajna Temple in northern Xinjiang arrived one after another, and each of the two temples
Led by a master-level master, they are now four innate masters.
Second, the four counties in Hedong have discovered masters sneaking in one after another. These people are very powerful, and cannot be tracked and inquired by the Six Doors and the intelligence system. The reason why they are exposed is because it is impossible for these people to fly all the way to their destination.
, no matter how strong they are, they still have to be exposed to people's eyes. Therefore, some clues were noticed. Although the specific identity is not yet certain, they are probably people of the devil's way.
Sure enough, before September, a big incident occurred in Hedong. A small group of people attacked the residence of Liang Jin, the chief administrator of the General's Mansion, in Hedong City——
"Click——"
The handle of the wooden chair under his palm was shattered into powder. Zhu Biao wanted to eat the three demon disciples in front of him alive. He was paralyzed and his brains were hit on the little girl. He was damned, damned ten thousand times!
"Commander, now is not the time to be angry. The threat of the devil must be eliminated as soon as possible. Such people are not good people, and their policies are unscrupulous. If it is delayed for too long, it will cause great harm to me in the east of the river."
Assassination, poisoning, and harming the people, there are too many ways for the demon sect to disrupt Hedong. With Zhu Biao's current strength, there is no way to prevent it!
Zhang Bennan added.
Zhu Biao nodded dejectedly. He was still not strong enough. Otherwise, how could a group of scattered demonic men dare to blatantly bully him?
"Post notices at the four gates. On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, I will hold a treasure appraisal meeting at the top of Wufeng Mountain outside the city. I hope all guests will come -"
There are still many good things in the Zhu family's treasury, such as Tianling Pill, Tai Sui Meat, various kinds of Zhicao and Xiaohuan Dan. As a foil, the price of the silver bell will definitely not drop.
Zhang Bennan's eyes lit up. "What a great idea, the Commander-in-Chief has a really brilliant idea -" Anyone who is interested will know the purpose of this treasure appraisal conference. Moreover, it does not lose the prestige of the General's Mansion.
"Then...how to deal with these three people...?"
"Drag him out, drag him to the market entrance, and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives——"
"Ah..." Everyone in the hall was surprised. Wouldn't this irritate the devil? But seeing the persistence on Zhu Biao's face, he immediately agreed.
The current governor of Hedong, Ma Yishan, came out and said, "I will obey my orders."
…
The fifth day of September.
Hedong City has suddenly seen more visitors in the past few days. The inns and hostels along the way are all full.
At dusk, there was a sound of "哐!"
It was the sound of the door opening. It was neither light nor heavy, but it just woke up everyone in the store.
His whole body trembled, and a habitual smile immediately appeared on the busy shopkeeper's face: "Hey, sir, you are here, please sit down!"
A group of people came in. The shopkeeper was in his fifties, a serious old man in this era. He had been running this shop for twenty years. What kind of person had he not seen?
As soon as this pedestrian appeared, my heart skipped a beat.
There was a man in the middle, a middle-aged man. Although he was wearing a green robe that was not old, his outstanding bearing could not be concealed. He was followed by four people, two of whom had a faint aura of awe-inspiring aura, and the other two were...
Relatively young and personable.
Carrying a pot of tea and a tea bowl, the shopkeeper quickly walked to the table, poured some tea, and asked carefully and respectfully: "Do you need anything, sir?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Bring some dishes, make a small pot of wine, and make them a big bowl of rice!"
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The shop is neither big nor small. There are eight tables in total. Half of them are occupied now. The table opposite looks like a businessman.
"Sir, the food and wine you want!" The waiter came to the table very quickly, carrying a wooden tray.
A plate of plain mutton, a braised chicken, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a pot of soup, and a pot of rice wine. As for the four large bowls of rice, they were delivered later. All four of them sat down. When the middle-aged man moved his chopsticks,
He ate in silence, looking around from time to time.
"The weather has been good this year. The crops in the fields are growing well. The summer grain harvest is bumper, and this autumn grain harvest is also a bumper harvest. Do you think it is three and a half stones per acre, and the government has collected taxes, how much can you get at home?
Let me tell you, food prices will still fall next year!"
At the table opposite the middle-aged man, a businessman was talking. He was of medium build and slightly overweight.
"You didn't count the rent!"
"Rent? I wish the commander-in-chief has your order. The rent is only 40%. Compared with 60% or 70% in other places, it is as good as heaven."
"That's true. Under Zhu Shuai's rule, this was the only thing he was criticized for."
"What a shame, it's because people are too greedy. They pay 70% to 80% of the rent, and they have a dark heart."
While the businessman was talking, the middle-aged people at the table listened silently, not speaking, but sighing secretly in their hearts.
Life in the Northern Han Dynasty has been much better in recent years. The land expanded thousands of miles south of Yinshan Mountain, which greatly alleviated the conflict over farmland. Although the Han Dynasty court did not directly order the situation to adjust taxes like Zhu Biao did, it used thousands of miles of land to recruit poor people. It was forced. The powerful landlords had to lower taxes and treat tenants well. Although the effect was not significant yet, with only a 10% reduction in rents, as long as there were three more years of peace and recovery, the people and national strength of the Northern Han Dynasty would have a qualitative improvement.
Moreover, Zhu Biao proposed horse plowing and organizing farming in the land south of Yinshan Mountain, which had a great impact. Otherwise, the king of Tang would not have turned his attention here and sent his own party to see for himself. If it was true and effective, he would pass on the order. Zhao Yan and Chen Sanguo followed up and implemented it in order to mobilize grain and grass from the north to support northern Xinjiang in the future.
In troubled times, every household has no food reserves. In the first year of peace, although there is a good harvest, it can only fill the stomach. In the second year of peace, there will be no food reserves, and in the third year, there will be relief.
What we can see now is that the people of the Northern Han Dynasty gradually regained their color and changed their clothes.
Especially in the four counties of Hedong, they all said that Zhu Biao was not good at caring for the people. But he knew people well and was good at handling affairs, and he was not confused about important matters. The prosperity of the people's market was better than that in other places in the Northern Han Dynasty.
The middle-aged man was thinking about the new land north of Luohe River. He would reach the boundary in three days. He would know if horse farming, an unheard-of thing, was really feasible.
Sow widely and reap little! The "wide" one is too big and the "thin" one is not much. When you multiply the two, the income you get is astonishing.
The middle-aged man walked all the way to the east of Hedong. He became more and more confident in Zhu Biao. Although he still criticized him a little for choosing his master instead of being a minister, he strived to be a minister who followed the dragon, so that he could leave his name in history in the future. He had a lot of confidence in Zhu Biao. He also felt that he had "lost his status" due to entanglements and disputes with Jianghu, but as long as Ma Peng could succeed, the benefits would be extremely beneficial to the Tang king in his struggle for world hegemony.
The land thousands of miles outside the Beiyu Great Wall will become the granary that Tang Ying's army wanted. When the kings of Xia, Ning, Liang and even the imperial court are worried about the supply of grain and grass, the grain trucks going south from Beiyu will continue to go north. Xinjiang transports 'blood'.
"Sir, now that you have arrived in Hedong City, why don't you go to the mansion to pay a visit to Commander Zhu. You can also ask Commander Zhu to send a group of elite troops to escort Mr. North -"
One of the two guards added. Along the way, he saw countless martial arts masters. Although some people looked very good, they couldn't hide the smell of blood on their bodies. Zhu Biao caused a lot of trouble during this time. They had already found out what trouble was going on, and they were really frightened, fearing that some demon would displease him and get him killed in a daze, without even knowing how he died.
"Don't worry, you two. It will be safe for me to go straight north like this and not attract anyone's attention. If we really go to General Zhu's mansion, we will be exposed to human eyes and our lives will be in danger."
The middle-aged man knew what the two guards were worried about and comforted them with a smile.
…
In the east, the Qi State has just calmed down from the turmoil.
Taiwei Mansion in Zibo City.
With a cold snort, Prince Tian Sheng dropped the memorial in his hand heavily on the desk in front of him.
These stubborn old men from Jixia Academy are really bullying others!
Jixia Academy, which had experienced the last palace upheaval, was greatly reduced in strength. Tian Sheng did not pay much attention to them. In his opinion, although Jixia Academy still had great influence, and there was an innate master in charge.
, but the specific strength is just average. His good nephew, during the last palace incident, helped the powerful disciples of Jixia Academy to lose weight. The disciples of the academy who are still in the court now,
Under his rule, everyone was obedient.
But at this moment, he had to sigh, a dog that doesn't bark bites the hardest!
While he was busy cleaning up the veterans of King Qi's old dynasty, many aristocratic families in Qi State were secretly transferring their family roots. Five or six out of ten families were like this!
Looking at the disciples of these families, all of them have deep connections with Jixia Academy.
This Jixia Academy has always paid attention to the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. The two countries of Qi and Lu can be immortal for thousands of years, and Jixia Academy has made the greatest contribution. However, Qi State has always maintained a relatively clear and clear politics, instead of being as corrupt as Lu State. Jixia Academy
The most important reason is that the academy cultivates as few as ten and as many as dozens of Qi disciples every year.
In Qilu, the imperial examination candidates were not as tough as those in Jixia Academy.
And now, part of the foundation of Jixia Academy is actually being transferred to the State of Lu. If someone hadn't tipped off the news, I wouldn't have known that Jixia Academy was planning to open a branch in the State of Lu. I'm afraid I was still kept in the dark! It's true.
That’s not true!
The current situation is that King Qi has been captured and the civil war has been temporarily suppressed, but the actual situation is obviously not like this.
The fluctuations in the dark have become more and more intense.
"It seems that the Zen throne ceremony must be held in advance, otherwise things will change if it is too late... By then, we will obtain the throne, and then clear the north and south one by one to determine the country's power!" Tian Sheng thought in his mind, and shot two piercing arrows from his eyes.
Light.
Just kidding, if Jixia Academy opens a branch in the State of Lu, and if so many wealthy families from the State of Qi move to the State of Lu, wouldn't this be a slap in the face in front of the people of the world, and clearly say that one is a traitor who has usurped the throne?
"Go and call Governor Zhao and Yushi Cheng over here." Tian Sheng raised his head and said to the chamberlain beside him.
The waiter hurriedly agreed and withdrew.
In just a moment, Zhao Shuming and Mr. Cheng, the censor doctor, arrived at Tian Sheng's study.
The three ministers and nine ministers, the prime minister has gone, the Taiwei is Tian Sheng himself, and the only one left is the imperial censor. And Zhao Shuming is the commander of the imperial army, that is, the guard of the Suwei palace.
"Greetings to my lord!" Zhao Shuming and the imperial censor arrived at Tian Sheng's study and greeted Tian Sheng, who was in charge.
"You two don't need to be polite. I have called you here for a reason. I believe you also know the secret actions of some aristocratic families, right? I have called you two here today because I want to arrange the Zen Ceremony.
, I have decided to proceed with this matter in advance. Governor Zhao, you should pay close attention to the affairs in Zibo City during this period. Cheng Qing, please find a good and auspicious day for me as soon as possible, as the day of the Zen Ceremony!" Seeing this!
Tian Sheng, the two of them, almost didn't listen to Zhao Cheng and the other two express their opinions, and just spoke directly.
"My lord, do you want to advance the Zen ceremony?" Hearing Tian Sheng's words, the imperial censor frowned slightly. As a civil servant, and one who was highly used by the King of Qi, his face felt faintly feverish. .(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
