The incident of the envoy's slap in the face came to an end, the ministers dispersed, and Fang La returned to the backyard.
From a distance, I saw a strong young man eight feet tall practicing martial arts on the martial arts training ground. He waved a square-shaped halberd and sent out tornado-like smoke, which was extremely powerful.
Fang La stopped and watched for a moment, showing appreciation.
This is his nephew Fang Jie, who is extremely brave and will become a peerless military general who will be difficult to rival in the world in the future. He has always been optimistic about it.
In addition to Fang Jie, there are now four generals under his command, Shi Bao, Si Xingfang, Li Tianrun, and Pang Wanchun, all of whom are extremely brave generals.
However, thinking that King Yan's men were even more powerful, Fang La's eyes darkened again, and he stopped looking and quickly walked into an ancestral hall.
This mansion was just a temporary residence, an ancestral hall for worshiping ancestors. There was no memorial tablet for the Fang family's ancestors, so Fang La walked directly through it and came to a hidden hut at the back.
There was no one in the room, except for a huge screen divided into two halves. There were a few candles placed on both sides of the screen, giving off a faint and strange aura.
Fang La first went around behind the screen and found that there was nothing but a few fire sticks. He picked up one of them and lit the candle. Then he returned to the screen, stood with his hands behind his hands, and waited silently.
In just a quarter of an hour, the candlelight flickered, and a figure suddenly stood up from behind the screen, and an ordinary voice sounded: "Why is the Holy Duke here*?"
Fang La said calmly: "With Ming Zun's well-informed information, you should know what I am here for. Lin Thief's rejection of my envoy this time has something to do with Ming Zun's religion. It seems that the hatred between the two of you is very deep, and you are even mortal enemies!"
The figure behind the screen replied: "This person, Gao Qiu and Ding Run, are indeed in trouble with our religion, which has led to the exposure of strongholds in various places and heavy losses. However, if we say that we are mortal enemies, it will not be like this. As long as we overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasties, we will be
I'm waiting for allies."
Fang La sneered: "Allies? The northern states and counties have made it clear that the Mingzun and Maitreya cults are prohibited. Once they are found to be assisting the cults in deceiving the people, they will be severely punished if their relatives are affected. Isn't this attitude a mortal enemy?"
The figure behind the screen fell silent for a moment and said, "This is to blame us for bringing the Holy Duke into trouble. But this time, I'm afraid it's the opposite. The King of Yan is afraid of the Holy Duke's power, so he suppresses our religion together!"
Fang La was startled: "Are you afraid of me?"
The voice behind the screen said: "Yes, the Zhao and Song Dynasties have lost their orthodoxy since the imperial edict on clothing. What's the use of Zhang Dun returning to the prime minister? Can he go against the general trend of the world?"
"Shenggong knows best that with this attack on Jinghu, the decline of the army is becoming more and more obvious. The veteran generals of the Western Army, Zhe Keshi and Zhongshi Dao, are already at the end of their strength and there is nothing to be afraid of. Once they cannot attack for a long time, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse and they will be completely defeated.
, if this army dies again, Zhao Song will be completely finished..."
"Looking back at Shenggong's strategy of Jinghu, people's hearts are attached to it. If Shenggong is allowed to gain power in the south, and the Yan army goes south in the future, the real enemy they will face may not be the imperial army, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu who is dominating the south!
"
Fang La had to admit that what he said was both insightful and pleasing to the ear, but he was very deep in the city and kept his face secretly: "If it is true as you said, the Yan army should take advantage of the situation and go south to annihilate me in Jinghu!"
…..
The voice behind the screen said: "What the Holy Duke said is unreasonable. The soil and water in the north and south are different. In the Jinghu waterway, the Yan army may not have much advantage, so how can we talk about annihilation?"
"Besides, the Yan army also needs to be on guard against the Liao people in the north. The Zhao and Song courts are taking advantage of the situation. This King of Yan looks majestic, but in fact he is the most feared by the world. He is surrounded by enemies from both sides. His suppression of Shenggong just proves that we have chosen the right person!"
"The dragon and the snake rise from the ground, and the heroes compete with each other. The one who survives to the end is the true Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Five Lord!"
Fang La nodded secretly. Everyone knew that Xiangyang was good, but Xiangyang was really not that easy to occupy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until this time. After the analysis of the Mingzun leader, he was indeed convinced by seven or eight points and took the opportunity to talk.
Turn: "I, Fang La, do have the ambition to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Since I have taken this path, this King Yan is my biggest enemy. I must get rid of him!"
The voice behind the screen understood this person's hint and hoped that Mingzunjiao could carry out assassination, but he did not think about the strength that the person showed on the battlefield. If he could assassinate him, Mingzunjiao might do it when he was the chief instructor at that time.
, let alone becoming King Yan now...
It’s hard to answer, so I can only pretend that I don’t understand: “I will give you my fullest help to help the great cause of the Holy Eminence!”
Fang La really thought about Jing Ke's method of assassinating the King of Qin, but he did not get an answer. He was unhappy, but he began to promise: "Your religion has helped me a lot. After the founding of Chu, I will make your religion a state religion, like Buddhism."
Taoism generally builds temples to worship King Ming in an upright manner."
The figure shrunk downward*, as if he was kneeling down and bowing: "Thank you, Your Highness, King Chu!"
Fang La waved his hand: "Go if you have nothing to do!"
"I have resigned!"
The figure seemed to bow again, then the candle was slowly extinguished and there was no movement behind the screen.
Fang La paused for a moment, turned around and walked out. When he walked out of the dark room into the sunlight, there was a clear trace of murderous intent in the corner of his eyes, but he quickly restrained it.
He likes to use religious means to strengthen the loyalty of his generals to him, but he is extremely afraid of Ming Zunjiao's deception of the people. If his subjects all believe in that Ming King, wouldn't he also have to be controlled by him?
Of course, you have to endure it at this stage, if nothing else. Ming Zunjiao persuaded the Xidong Yi people before and put them under his command to use them, which is the key help. There will be many things to rely on in the future.
Even if Ming Zunjiao has to be banned, he still has to accomplish great things and secure the throne.
However, everything will be successful if it is not foreseen, and it will be ruined if it is not foreseen. You still need to make preparations beforehand, such as recruiting more heretical people, and first break this mysterious way of meeting.
In this matter, Fang La felt that he was lucky.
Because just a few hours later, when Wang Yin came to report the military situation, he heard the question from the Lord and replied: "I recommend a person named Zheng Biao, who is from Lanxi County, Wu (wu) Prefecture. He worshiped in Jinhua, the blessed land of Daomen.
I learned a lot of good skills from my disciples, and not long ago I joined the Holy Duke and became a general. However, our army mainly focuses on defense and has not yet made any meritorious deeds!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fang La was not anxious and asked: "What is this person's method?"
Wang Yindao: "With the protection of divine law, wherever there is a fight, there will be clouds and aura accompanying it. Now the army calls him 'divine king', but this man knows the etiquette and says that the Holy Duke is above all, so he would never dare to be called this!"...
.
Fang La was very satisfied after hearing this. Those who did not rely on Taoism and still bowed to their superiors were the subordinates he wanted: "This man is observant of etiquette, and I must not be rude. I will recruit him. My subordinates, Fang La, will follow."
Don’t bury talents.”
Not long after, Zheng Biao was brought over. He was also tall and tall. He loved sticks since he was a child. However, since he learned Taoism, when he walked, he could see a light body, and there was a bit of clouds in front of him.
He bowed down directly and said excitedly: "I will finally pay my respects to the Holy Duke, and today I get to see Tianyan. I am truly lucky!"
Fang La smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, I think the master of Dedao has seen your abilities before. These words are exaggerated!"
Zheng Biao immediately said: "It is not an exaggeration at all. My master is indeed an immortal, with a grace that rises from the earth. However, the sage is a tiger sitting on a dragon's plate, and he is also a hero. When I saw him today, I felt so happy that I couldn't contain it."
!”
Fang La wanted to restrain his emotions in front of Ming Zun. But at this time, he didn't want to endure it. He laughed and said, "General Zheng, please speak quickly. When I become the queen, will you be willing to lead the imperial army and horses and be the commander of my royal guard?"
This was ready to be cultivated as a confidant. Zheng Biao immediately bowed down with great joy: "I am determined to protect His Highness the King of Chu, even to the death!"
"Get up!"
Fang La helped him up, and first inquired about his family situation, parents and relatives, whether he had any married children, etc., and finally said: "General Zheng is accompanied by clouds and spirits, and he is praised as the 'God King'. I wonder if there is any other way."
Legal means to open my eyes?"
Zheng Biao immediately began to use Taoism.
Fang La watched carefully, but felt a little disappointed.
Because this person's method* is still obviously based on martial arts, supplemented by Taoism, which is far from the kind of Taoist master he imagined.
Zheng Biao soon discovered it and showed a look of shame: "To make Sheng Gong laugh, I have only been studying under the master for three years, and my cultivation level is only at the bottom of the sect. If the master hadn't said that my fate in this world is over, wouldn't it be?
It’s time to go down the mountain…”
As he spoke, he showed a look of yearning: "My master is the most outstanding figure in the current generation of my sect. He especially has a 'Xuantian Hunyuan Sword' that can fly hundreds of steps to pick off people and is unpredictable.
, no matter how powerful the person is in martial arts, he cannot guard against it, that is the real expert!"
"Flying swords to capture people?"
Fang La thought that he had hinted Ming Zunjiao to assassinate King Yan before, but the other party should not respond. When he heard the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, his eyes lit up: "In that case, can you please come out and help me, when I decree to appoint hundreds of officials?"
, I will worship him as a heavenly master!"
Zheng Biao showed hesitation. He was obviously not sure, but under Fang La's eager gaze, he still nodded and said: "The Holy Duke has an order, and you must obey it. I will pass it on to the disciples and ask the master to come out!"
Fang La nodded happily.
Now that his reputation is gradually spreading in the south, with Ming Zunjiao relying on him and Jinhua Mountain disciples seeking refuge, more and more strange people will naturally join in to achieve great things together.
As expected, his fortune turned around this time. Just a few days later, just after lunch break, Zheng Biao came to him and reported: "Holy Duke, the master has replied to the letter. The master is in seclusion to study the methods of heavenly generals. He cannot escape, but I
My uncle happened to be traveling around the world, so he came here to help me, and my master even lent me the 'Xuantian Hunyuan Sword'!"
Fang La said happily: "Please quickly... no, I will personally go to greet such an expert!"
In his mind, he recalled the time when Prince Dan of Yan greeted Jing Ke with courtesy. He immediately ran out to greet Jing Ke without even having time to put on his shoes.
When he arrived outside the house, he saw a Taoist with fluttering sleeves and two swords on his back. When he arrived, he turned around and saluted gracefully with his palms raised: "I have seen the Holy Duke, poor Taoist Dong Yunzi!
