In Yangzhou City, Kou Zhong was dressed in armor at this time and walked quickly to Xiao Ziyu's side, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Well! You are a good boy. Now you have achieved such a great reputation." Xiao Ziyu patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder and said.
At this time, it had been three years since he left Yangzhou City. During these three years, Kou Zhong used Shilong's power in Yangzhou City to continuously develop, and in just one year, he captured the entire Yangzhou City.
At the same time, he also occupied more than half of the entire Yangzhou state.
With more than 50,000 soldiers under his command, he is a force that cannot be underestimated in the chaotic world. Moreover, he himself has now reached the level of a master.
Coupled with the two grandmasters Xu Ziling and Shi Long, there are a total of three grandmasters in charge. It can be said that they really have the strength to compete for the world.
Moreover, the Young Marshal Army he founded defeated Du Fuwei, the Jianghuai Army who wanted to come to Yangzhou to get a share of the pie. At that time, Kou Zhong was still in the innate realm, while Du Fuwei was already a master.
However, it was also because of that battle that the reputation of their young marshal army was established. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, with their innate realms, fought hard against Du Fuwei, a master master. In the end, both sides were harmed by the opponent's character. At the same time, with Xu Xingzhi's help,
Defeated the Jianghuai army.
In one fell swoop, they destroyed the 8,000 Jianghuai troops brought by Du Fuwei.
It was also this battle that allowed both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to enter the master realm.
"Hehe! Master, you taught me this well." Hearing Xiao Ziyu's praise, Kou Zhong suddenly felt a little shy, and said with a smile while rubbing the back of his head.
"I didn't teach you much. You can reach this point only by your own efforts. I just brought you into the industry." Xiao Ziyu shook his head. To be honest, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, he really didn't have
How much to teach.
It really can't compare to his careful teaching to Zhang Wuji and Zhou Tianyu.
But these two boys were born with Taoism, and there was no need for him to teach them much. He just gave these two boys his own 'Purple Sun Sutra'.
Even Shi Long is more responsible than his master.
"Master, come back this time, won't you leave for a while?" Kou Zhong asked, who suddenly smiled, with a trace of longing on his face.
"Yeah! I'm not leaving." Xiao Ziyu nodded.
"Oh yeah!" Upon hearing what Xiao Ziyu said, Kou Zhong immediately jumped up with joy, not wanting to be a separate overlord.
It seems more like a child receiving a small candy reward from an adult.
"Kou Zhong, if you really decide to go on, you must understand that the road to the emperor is not easy, and you will even be alone in the end. Maybe you can get along very well with the brothers under your command now.
Blood brothers."
"However, once you conquer the world and become emperor in the future, everything will be different. You should know this. You have also seen the deeds of the founding emperors in the past. Being alone is not a joke. You should understand. Now
You have grown up and know what you are doing."
"At the same time, I hope that once you make a decision, you will stick to it. I don't hope that when you are about to succeed, for some reason, you will abandon the soldiers who have been following you."
Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but remind the other party.
"Master, I have decided that since I was a child, my dream has been to become a respectable general. But when I grew up, when I saw the poor people in the world, I felt that I had to stand up and
To change the world.”
Koo Zhong looked upright at this time, and even had an aura that could change the world. At this moment, Xiao Ziyu suddenly discovered that this guy, like Zhou Tianyu in the Yitian world, had a heroic spirit that swept through troubled times.
"Okay! Now that you have decided, I will give you your full support as a teacher."
"Hey! This is a reward given to you by my master. It can be regarded as a reward for your hard work in the past few years!" Xiao Ziyu took out a brocade box from his package and threw it to Kou Zhong.
"Ah! Master, what kind of reward is it?" Kou Zhong suddenly became interested, and his brows twitched a few times. He had followed Xiao Ziyu for so many years, and apart from Xiao Ziyu giving him martial arts secrets, there really was nothing given to him.
However, on Xu Ziling's side, it was Xiao Ziyu who gave his previous sword Qingming Sword to Xu Ziling. At that time, he, Kou Zhong, was envious of him for a long time.
Unfortunately, he didn't want Xu Ziling and didn't like swordsmanship, so Xiao Ziyu didn't give it to him, but gave it to Xu Ziling, who preferred swordsmanship.
"What kind of reward is it? You will know if you open it and take a look." Xiao Ziyu looked at this guy's excitement and was speechless. He was a prince from the same party, and his temper was still so out of control.
"Hey, let me take a look." Kou Zhong quickly opened the brocade box and saw only a seal, "Could it be..."
Kou Zhong raised his head and looked at Xiao Ziyu in disbelief, "Master, is this...that..."
"You will know if you pick it up and take a look yourself."
Hearing Xiao Ziyu's words, Kou Zhong took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his right hand and tremblingly picked up the square seal.
"really"
Seeing the eight ancient characters "Ordered by God to live long and prosperous", Kou Zhong suddenly became excited.
"Master, is this really the piece?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Haven't you already seen it? Is this still false?"
"Haha! Thank you so much, master." At this moment, Kou Zhong was completely excited and even happier than before. This is the national jade seal, and all the princes in the world want to get this thing.
With it, one can take over the great righteousness of the world. Although it is impossible to unify the world with it, once someone has it, they will definitely take the initiative.
Not to mention other things, at least a lot of talents will come to you unconsciously. In this way, you will not only increase your own strength.
After being happy, Kou Zhong suddenly thought of something, his face changed, his eyes turned around, and he asked: "Master, are you the mysterious man in black from the world three years ago?"
"What mysterious man in black?" Xiao Ziyu was suddenly asked by Kou Zhong, and Xiao Ziyu was a little confused.
"Master, please stop lying to me. If you were not the mysterious man in black, how could this national jade seal fall into your hands?" Kou Zhong said with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. Yes, I indeed took this jade seal from the Jing Nian Zen Sect." Hearing what Kou Zhong said, he suddenly remembered.
Of course, Xiao Ziyu never paid attention to that matter at all. If Xiao Ziyu hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten about it.
"Master, it's really you!"
Kou Zhong said with surprise on his face. He had never thought that his master was really the mysterious man in black. "Master, how strong are you now?"
The strength of that mysterious man in black is so powerful that everyone in the world is crazy about it. He is at least a Grand Master, and may even be a bit more powerful than a Grand Master.
Although Xiao Ziyu had told him before leaving Yangzhou that his strength was not weaker than that of the Grand Master. But at that time, Kou Zhong thought Xiao Ziyu was bragging.
But I didn't expect that the other party didn't really exaggerate, but was actually modest.
"Haha! If you want to know my strength, you can wait until you give me the Ziyang Sutra and practice it to the Dacheng state, then you can have a glimpse of my current state."
