Compared to swords, the knife itself is more domineering, and cutting from top to bottom has a natural strength advantage over cutting from bottom to bottom. What's more, Lu Zhongyang is already a master at the master level. No matter how high Tang Mo's martial arts is, he is still close to being a master.
The first sword that could block Lu Zhongyang's sneak attack, Lu Zhongyang was quite surprised not to mention others.
This shows that Tang Mo’s martial arts skills are no longer inferior to Lin Cheng’s.
However, he is still inferior to Lu Zhongyang.
This line made Lu Zhongyang's sword power even more unpredictable and unpredictable. Tang Mo's sword was also extremely fast. When others looked at it, they could only see two phantoms fighting. However, when the sword energy and the light of the sword hit, the two of them were ten thousand.
There is no one living within ten feet
The generals went to place their troops and horses respectively. Pei Ruyu deliberately advised Mu Anzhi to go and take shelter first. Mu Anzhi said, "I won't go. I'll go and you can watch here by yourself. I want to see it too."
Marquis Lu was also very concerned about his precious son-in-law, so he naturally wanted to watch. His Royal Highness the Prince and Marquis Lu did not leave. Other officials, such as Hua Changshi, who was elderly and could not see any skills, still felt that the light of the sword was very magical.
The most exciting people are the guards of Mu'an Luhou and the masters in the army. Even if they are the guards of Mu'an Luhou, most of them are famous masters, and among them, there are many Wudang disciples. At this time
Everyone was really excited and surging, except for the fact that Tang Mo’s master, Master Xu, was born in Wudang, and Tang Mo was considered a serious Wudang disciple.
How many years have their Wudang been suppressed by Shaolin bald donkeys who are always pretending to be indifferent, and they finally have their day! Look at the skills of our young master, he is a role model for our Wudang!
Tang Mo's seniority in Wudang is very high because of his master.
Tang Mo once said that there is only a thin line between a first-class master and a grandmaster, but this thin line is a natural chasm.
The iron-gold sword broke with a sound. Tang Mo took a step back and looked at the half of the sword hilt in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, as if he had not recovered. Chen Jian saw the hot blood rolling down the corner of Tang Mo's lips and couldn't help but feel terrible.
Urgently, he yelled, "Xiaobao!" Lu Zhongyang's sword was about to cut Tang Mo in half. Chen Jian could no longer hold back and jumped forward, but was bounced back by an invisible barrier.
.
Pei Ruyu stepped forward and gave Chen Jian a hand, "Don't worry."
Seeing that Tang Mo had let go and abandoned half of the sword in his hand, with a flick of his waist, another long soft sword wrapped around Lu Zhongyang's blade like a snake. Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief, yes, Xiaobao used to use this long soft sword most often.
In fact, Tang Mo didn't hear Chen Jian's reminder at all, and he didn't know the anxiety and worry of the spectators. He couldn't hear anything, and he couldn't even feel anything. The stab wounds on his body and the depletion of his Dantian seemed to no longer exist.
Entering such a mysterious state, all I can see and feel is the knife in front of me.
No matter how weird the sword technique is, it seems to be simple. The trajectory of the inner energy carried by the blade is imprinted on his pupils, and he has time to take all the moves!
Everyone only saw that Lu Zhongyang's sword became more fierce. Tang Mo's sword was still a little sluggish at first, but in an instant, Tang Mo's sword began to accelerate. His whole body seemed to become a ray of light, and the surging sword energy came overwhelmingly, with invisible pressure.
He actually forced those around him to take a few steps back.
The sun did not know when it moved to the middle of the sky. The blazing sunlight was like a blazing flame, which lit up the depleted inner energy in Tang Mo's body. At that moment, the boundless inner energy boiled and burned in every blood and meridians. Tang Mo felt like a creature.
Reshaping, he roared in pain, and countless sword energy spilled out around him, forcing Lu Zhongyang to fly backwards three steps.
The long sword chanted softly, and Lu Zhongyang's arm holding the sword was engulfed by the sword energy, trembling slightly. He looked at Tang Mo in disbelief: How is it possible, Tang Mo is advancing to the Grandmaster realm.
Lu Zhongyang’s first thought was: kill him!
This does not stem from the deep hatred between Lu Zhongyang and Tang Mo, nor does it stem from the fact that only by killing Tang Mo can he attack Lu Wenjia again, but Lu Bozhong's most intuitive reaction: kill him!
Tang Mo said that people who reach the master realm are rarely shameless villains, because after the master realm, their views on the world will be completely different. Therefore, few masters will engage in assassinations and sneak attacks.
However, these words are just Tang Mo's own understanding of the master realm.
The Grandmaster Realm is the realm of martial arts. Those who practice bright and majestic martial arts to the highest level can enter the Grandmaster Realm. On the other hand, those who practice vicious and cunning martial arts to the highest level can also enter the Grandmaster Realm.
However, don’t forget that people can practice martial arts, and martial arts can also affect those who practice it.
For example, Tang Mo was unwilling to use martial arts to assassinate people, but Lu Zhongyang had no such concerns.
Therefore, it is not because Lu Zhongyang has any grudges with Tang Mo, but the skills he has practiced, and his temperament in life, that make him make this choice: kill him! Kill him before he has stabilized his master status!
This is a kind of insidiousness, and even more a kind of jealousy!
Everyone speculates that when Lu Zhongyang killed Lu Boxin, he would think of revenge for killing his father.
So, what about besides the father’s hatred?
Are you jealous of your brother?
How can there be such an outstanding person in the world? He can easily accomplish things that you can't do no matter how hard you work and toss and turn. He can easily hold the things you are looking for.
How could there be such a disgusting person in the world? This person is not a stranger, but his brother.
Even though everyone is envious of your good luck, even though everyone is saying, with a brother like this, what is there to worry about? However, the disgust is still getting deeper day by day. With your efforts and diligence,
All your efforts will become the stars next to the sun. As long as the sun is on the same day, no one can see the stars above your head.
What a disgusting existence!
It's so disgusting that I want to kill him!
Tang Mo thought it might have been as long as a lifetime, but in fact it was only a short moment!
Tang Mo felt that he was about to be burned out by the breath in his body. He seemed to be in a sea of fire in the alchemy furnace, and he was about to turn into ashes!
But at this moment, a sinister and cold knife intent split the stove, and the blade reappeared in Tang Mo's sight. For a moment, Tang Mo's thoughts were like trickles, converging into lines in the flames, and a bit of clarity appeared in the flames.
His altar lit up, and he finally remembered that he still had a fight to go on!
At that moment, it was as if a ray of sun's fire fell on Tang Mo's sword, and the black gold sword emitted a blazing and dazzling light, piercing Lu Zhongyang's vital point!
Lu Zhongyang's long knife was covered with frost, and wherever the blade touched, there was a bitter coldness everywhere.
Just like the sun sinking into the cold abyss, the blazing light on the black gold sword faded, and the frost on the blade gradually condensed into beads. Between the cold and the heat, countless cracks appeared on the long sword with the blade as the center, and there was a clicking sound, just like breaking in winter.
The ice edge, the long knife breaks inch by inch!
Tang Mo's sword energy roared. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the sword intention that drove Tang Mo, or Tang Mo who drove the sword intention, or the two didn't know each other. Tang Mo felt a burst of joy in his heart. Did this joy come from him or from the sword in his hand?
, can no longer be distinguished.
The power of the second sword was even more powerful than the previous one. It was as if the sun in the sky was dimmed by this sword. Everyone closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they saw Lu Zhongyang behind the blazing light.
The place where it is located is all scorched earth, and there is nothing else on the ground except a few broken sword blades.
If people did not have a clear understanding of the master realm in the past, then at this time, all martial arts practitioners have understood what a master is! The eyes looking at Tang Mo at this time were mixed with countless joy, admiration, envy, and emotion...
Oh my god, they were lucky enough to witness a battle between masters and masters.
Tang Mo lowered his long sword to the ground, panting slightly. He looked around and didn't see a drop of blood. He asked strangely, "Where are the people?"
Everyone fell down together: Wasn't everyone killed by your sword?
Chen Jian was so happy for his little treasure. He couldn't help but come up to congratulate his little treasure. Tang Mo also went to his A Jian very happily. He wanted to tell his A Jian: He is now a grandmaster.
Realm!
As a result, just three steps away from Tang Mo, Chen Jian felt the sword energy coming towards him and immediately stepped back. Countless small knife marks were cut on the front of his robe. If Chen Jian hadn't avoided it quickly, Chen Jian would have been cut.
Simple.
Chen Jian looked at Tang Mo in shock. Tang Mo quickly took two steps back. He thought for a while and asked everyone to stay away from him. "I have just entered the Grand Master realm. The sword energy will only leak out if it is too strong. It will be fine after some time."
I heard a lot of envy from all the masters. Although they were all familiar with sword energy, they had all worked hard to cultivate sword energy. Looking at their masters, they couldn't control the amount of sword energy and it was flowing out randomly.
Tang Mo was actually very depressed. He had received such great news as Jin Grand Master status, but he could not hug a relative, friend, or his A Jian. Moreover, he could not even ride a horse now, so he walked while others rode. In Mu Anzhi's words,
"Xiaobao, let's settle in the city first. You can come here by yourself."
Marquis Lu had recovered from the shock and suggested with a smile, "You'd better walk. Qinggong can easily hurt people if you get close to them, and if you step on the eaves and tiles, you can easily demolish the house. The governor's office is not far from here."
Ouch, my son-in-law turns out to be a top-notch expert!
Chen Jian took the initiative and said, "I'll go with Xiaobao."
Tang Mo was moved: Ah Jian is better.
As a result, Tang Mo became the first grandmaster without any pretensions. Now he has to be careful even when entering. When he entered the gate, the gate of the governor's mansion was wide and there was no way, but the threshold was turned into powder by Tang Mo's sword energy. In the governor's mansion
, Tang Mo didn't even go inside the house for fear of demolishing it, so he found a solid stone pavilion in the garden of the Governor's Mansion, and sat cross-legged in the stone pavilion to stabilize his state of mind.
Although he was assassinated by Lu Zhongyang, Mu Anzhi was refreshed and in a good mood. He sat in the middle hall of the governor's mansion and said, "I said Xiaobao is the most useful at critical times. This child is indeed the most talented in martial arts in our family."
Children, the young ones are the masters."
Governor Xie said quickly, "Congratulations to Your Highness, and congratulations to Marquis Lu for getting such a beloved son-in-law."
All the bad mood that Lu Hou had when seeing Lu Zhongyang was wiped away by Tang Mo's killing of Lu Zhongyang and entering the Grandmaster realm. Lu Hou said, "I didn't know that this kid's martial arts was so good. I have never seen him take action before."
"Xiaobao is kind-hearted, he is not aggressive and doesn't often take action." Mu Anzhi was very happy for Tang Mo.
Actually, Tang Mo, he doesn't take action very often.
Following the army all the way, he was not very squeamish, but one thing was that Tang Mo did not want to see blood. Whenever there was a war, he never went to the front line and stayed alone in the tent at the rear. The smell of blood made him uncomfortable. After the war, he still
They would give money to the local people to collect the bodies and bury them in thin coffins, at least for each person.
Sometimes he would shed a few tears with kindness and tenderness. This is because Tang Mo's background was strong enough. He was the cousin of His Highness the Third Highness and the good son-in-law of Lu Hou. People behind him murmured a few times in private, but they didn't dare to say it openly.
What.
Not to mention Tang Mo's martial arts skills, people usually just think that the sword on his waist is just for decoration.
I don't think so, people really hide their secrets.
The master!
Even before becoming a Grandmaster, his martial arts skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Therefore, Tang Mo's various inappropriate behaviors in the past, now look back, all have deep meanings. Those who laughed at Tang Mo in private wanted to slap themselves in the mouth. Can Grandmaster Tang laugh at him casually?
Amituofo and those who are close to Tang Mo are already thinking about whether they can ask Grandmaster Tang for some advice.
There are also a group of disciples who were born in Wudang and have already made plans to congratulate their junior uncle (young master).
Mu Anzhi sat for a while in the governor's mansion, thanked the governor for his confession, and went down to investigate Lu Zhongyang's assassination hidden in the city wall. Mu Anzhi went to the second prince's mansion, that is, the Luoyang palace to pay a visit to the second prince's concubine. Although Mu Anzhi was now the de facto powerful vassal king, he entered the city.
The second prince and concubine also agreed to open the city gate to welcome Mu Anzhi, but this was to avoid a war and allow the second prince and concubine to welcome Mu Anzhi in person, which was absolutely impossible.
The second prince's concubine is still a princess. In terms of seniority, she is still Mu Anzhi's second sister-in-law. She has her own reserve.
Mu Anzhi went there himself.
The second prince's concubine is still the same as before, but she is a little more tenacious in her gentleness, and she is also very elegant and calm when facing Mu Anzhi. The little girl of the second prince's concubine's family is already four years old, Yuxue's cute appearance, she can shout crisply
Third uncle, he speaks very eloquently. He also asks him where he is from and invites him to eat her fruits. He is a talkative person.
Mu Anzhi had not seen the twins in his family for half a year, and he liked his little girl very much. He held her on his lap and teased her, thinking to himself that his second brother was really not worthy of being a father. Even if he ran away, he should take his second sister-in-law and the children with him.
ah.
For a moment, the second princess asked her nanny to take her daughter out to play. She didn't say anything about loyalty and righteousness, but asked about the third prince and the twins. Li Yuhua was pregnant and gave birth, and the second princess was counting her time to send people off.
Received a congratulatory gift.
Mu Anzhi said, "When I came out, the twins had just learned to crawl and couldn't speak yet. In the blink of an eye, the first birthday ceremony was over."
"It's not easy for the three younger siblings, and it's not easy for you to fight outside. I don't understand these things now. I just hope that everyone is safe."
The words and temperaments of the second prince and concubine are all respected.
After leaving Henan and entering Zhili Prefecture, Mu Anzhi met the Zhili army in Handan City.
Governor Chen personally took out the edict written by Emperor Mu Xuan and ordered Mu Anzhi to lead his army back to northern Xinjiang immediately. Mu Anzhi did not believe that the edict was true at all and insisted, "The prince is correcting the edict!"
Governor Chen said, "Your Majesty the Third Highness did not know something, and he deposed Mu Qizhi, a common man, and fled overseas. Now your Majesty has set things right and reorganized the government."
"Impossible. What about Mr. Lu?"
"The Lu family in the harem were all deposed as common people. Your Majesty's eldest daughter, Princess Jiaxiang, and the guilty minister Qin Ting all followed Mu Qizhi and fled overseas. The former Lu family in the palace has been arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. Now the three divisions are interrogating to investigate her crimes.
Mingzhao the world."
Mu Anzhi didn't know there was such a shameless operation in the world, and he wanted to skin Mu Qizhi alive. His expression changed several times, and finally he said, "I don't believe it! Unless I come to the imperial capital and see it with my own eyes, I won't believe it!"
"
Cannot retreat!
Not only Mu Anzhi could not retreat, but also all his generals could not retreat. Once he retreated, the vassal king would be proven guilty. From now on, whether to kill, behead or Ling Chi will be decided by others!
Governor Chen slowed down his voice and earnestly advised, "Your Majesty knows and understands His Majesty's loyalty and filial piety. If His Majesty had not noticed that His Majesty was in trouble and came to the rescue in time, it would not have been so easy to bring order to the imperial capital. Mu Qizhi was even more devoted to His Majesty.
Taken by the divine power, he fled in a hurry. Your Highness's talents and achievements are known to everyone in the court. Now, who is His Majesty's son among the dragons? Why should Your Highness be in a hurry? You might as well obey your father's orders and wait until the time comes.
.”
Although these words are slightly flattering, they are not the true words of Governor Chen. The prince is no longer here, and the second prince's escape back to the emperor shows his weakness and incompetence. Then comes Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi is smart and capable, and has a group of capable ministers and generals under his command.
Seeing the power of the Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens, Governor Chen seems to think that the most deserving person for the position in the East Palace is the Third Highness Mu Anzhi.
However, Mu An's power is too strong and there are many people who are afraid of him. Therefore, Mu An cannot be allowed to go to the imperial capital.
However, even if Governor Chen's tongue is full of flowers, it will be difficult to shake Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi said directly, "Let's just open the skylight and speak frankly!"
Pei Ruyu secretly thought that something was not right, so she stepped forward in time to seize the conversation and asked, "Governor Chen, since Mu Qizhi fled overseas, he must have taken the road from Jinhai Port to the sea. Let me ask Mr. Chen, Jinhai is Zhili
As for the scope, as the governor of Zhili, you can’t possibly just sit back and watch Mu Qi’s escape!”
"This matter has been decided long ago. If Mr. Pei has any doubts, he can ask the Third Division."
"That's just right. I will go to the Imperial Capital with Your Highness to ask the Third Secretary!"
Governor Chen choked and said helplessly, "Mr. Pei, you must make excuses. You are a talented person from Sanyuan. Do you know what kind of crime it is for a vassal king to enter the emperor without an edict?"
"Didn't Mr. Chen just say that my Highness, with his sharp eyes and golden eyes, saw through the dangerous situation in the court in time and sent troops to rescue, so that the court could bring order to the chaos earlier? The merit lies in the present and the future. Why is it that in the blink of an eye, he is accused of crimes again?"
Pei Ruyu's voice deepened, "I have evidence of the Lu family's crimes in my hand. The Lu family confused their bloodlines and conspired against the imperial family. The evidence is as solid as a mountain. Our Highness is the legitimate son of His Majesty's original wife. Today, he has made contributions to the imperial court and has gone to Zhili. He is not worthy to go.
The emperor has paid his respects to your father? Let me ask Mr. Chen, if our highness is not worthy, who is worthy?"
"As for the troops and horses led by His Highness, Mr. Chen can rest assured that Marquis Lu is loyal and known to the world. His Highness's filial piety is even more famous. Mr. Chen, Mu Qizhi previously commanded the Dragon Tiger Camp and the Imperial Guard, and the imperial capital revolved around
The heaven and the earth, the clouds and the sky, Mu Qizhi was able to escape without hesitation. He was not just running away in panic, he had already thought of a retreat! Master Chen! Since it is a retreat, he will bring enough people! How many people are left in the Imperial Capital Longhu Camp?
People and horses? If my prediction is correct, the army and horses of the imperial capital have been greatly weakened. Your Majesty will definitely mobilize troops to replenish the army of the imperial capital. The soldiers in Henan have had trouble before. What's more, Henan is the vanguard to block the northern Xinjiang army. Then, the imperial capital will be able to mobilize troops.
It's the Zhili Army. Mr. Chen, you are in Handan City now, but how many soldiers do you still have under your command?"
Every time Pei Ruyu asked a question, Governor Chen's face became uglier. Pei Ruyu looked at Governor Chen with sharp eyes and said, "Tongzhi Chen, you uncle and nephew have not seen each other for several years. Please give Governor Chen a break."
Chen Jian came up and helped his uncle to rest in the tent nearby. Pei Ruyu warned Mu Anzhi, "Keep your confession to yourself and don't say a word!"
Mu Anzhi lowered his voice, "We have been beaten here, how can we go back?"
"I won't go back, but I still have to put the word of filial piety on myself. If you tell me about grabbing the throne, even if you get the throne, the history books will scold you in the future."
"That will happen in the future. I can't see it when I close my eyes. I don't care."
"You don't care, I do. What I want to assist is a wise king."
It was difficult for his old friend to suddenly be so strong. Mu Anzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."
"Hold it! I'm going to call the others. Just say that you must go back and see that His Majesty is okay so that you can feel at ease!"
"knew."
What followed was a pretentious performance. Mu An said with a distorted expression that things had happened frequently in the capital, and he would not be relieved if he did not pay his respects to his father in person.
All the civil and military personnel around Mu Anzhi followed him all the way to Zhili Prefecture. Seeing that we were following the dragon's merits, how could we go back? So they all said, Your Highness's filial piety is moved by heaven and earth, and I will follow you to the death!
Governor Chen wanted to stop Mu Anzhi just by relying on Zhili, but it was absolutely impossible.
When Mu Anzhi has reached this point, he just wants to return to Northern Xinjiang, and none of his men can do it. Even if Mu Anzhi doesn't want to wear this dragon robe, his men will put it on him.
What's more, Mu Anzhi came here for the throne!
Mu Anzhi had no friendship with Emperor Mu Xuan, and the only admiration he had between father and son had already been disheartened. Of course Mu Anzhi needed the reputation of a filial son, but that was just for the convenience of ascending to the throne.
Chen Jian broke up with his uncle and calculated that in terms of military strength, the Zhili troops were far inferior to the Northern Xinjiang army. In terms of popularity, who in the DPRK could compare with His Highness the Third Highness now. Also, the war in the southwest has not stopped, and the DPRK has been unable to send more troops.
Produce capable generals, and if the imperial court and the Northern Xinjiang army are in a stalemate, it will further affect the southwest war.
Chen Jian suggested to his uncle, "Uncle, if you don't want to persuade His Highness to retreat, you have also made this decision. You might as well write to the court and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. Don't Your Majesty not want to see my Highness? A loyal and filial person like my Highness, who can be a father?"
Don’t you regard it as a treasure? Uncle, please write a note for Your Majesty.”
Governor Chen was naturally loyal to Emperor Mu Xuan, and the friendship he had with him when he was a student was not a lie, otherwise Emperor Mu Xuan would not have put Governor Chen in Zhili, and would not have pursued Mu Qizhi's escape from Tianjin Harbor. The friendship between the monarch and his ministers was profound.
How could Governor Chen write such an excerpt and send it to the imperial capital?
Governor Chen said urgently in a low voice, "Why should you be so anxious, Your Highness? If he has such meritorious abilities, it would be his already!"
Chen Jianxin said, we have fought here from the ice and snow in northern Xinjiang, how can we go back again? He always had a flexible mind and said, "Well, since His Highness has arrived in Zhili, it is time to go to the head office to pay your respects to Mr. Jun. This is the head office, right?"
?”
Governor Chen really can't say no.
Chen's method of slips is actually quite good, as they leave room for each other. In this way, it is convenient for Governor Chen to attach the slips and deliver them to the imperial capital together to inform His Majesty of Zhili affairs.
It is possible to retreat the troops in northern Xinjiang with just one edict. Now it seems that it is absolutely impossible.
