Chapter 230 Xie Tianya asked the sword three tricks
The middle-aged scribe is worthy of being a powerful person in a high position among the six gates. Once he is sure that nothing can be done, he immediately retreats without any regrets. Jiang Ergou estimates that this person is well-spoken in the entire Suzhou world.
As for the middle-aged scribe's statement that his elders were in Suzhou city, Jiang Ergou actually believed it. Xie Tianya still held on to Duan Wudao in recent years and would not let go of Duan Wudao. From time to time, he would go to the boundary of Youzhou.
Let's see if we can catch the number one gangster in the world.
After those people from the Suzhou forces retreated like a tide, Zhang Fengliang also hurriedly supported Zhang Yuan, who had just bandaged his wounds, and came to Jiang Ergou.
"I really can't believe that the young master is so handsome and handsome. He has already reached the first level at a young age. From this point of view, it is not impossible for the young master to achieve the realm of the supreme swordsman in the future!"
Zhang Yuan looked painful but still managed a smile in front of Jiang Ergou. He looked at the two of them and said calmly.
"You can go back to Suzhou during this trip. After you get the secret book, remember to give a copy to Liumen. I don't have to give them face, but you can't. As for safety issues, you don't have to worry about it. As long as you give the secret book to Liumen.
If you open the door, they will take action to resolve these matters for you even if it is for the sake of the court's face."
Zhang Yuan nodded with deep understanding. This young first-level master can ignore the six doors, but the Zhang family cannot do that. Otherwise, even if this first-level master is determined to protect his Zhang family, I am afraid that he Zhang
Homes cannot escape the consequences of being burned to the ground.
"I don't know where the young master is going next. The scholar just said that he would go back and report to his master. Although the young master is very skilled in martial arts, he still has to be on guard!"
Facing Zhang Yuan's proposal, Jiang Ergou obviously didn't take it to heart and just said it in a calm tone.
"It is true that I have to pass through the city of Suzhou on my way to the border, but it doesn't matter. Xie Tianya will only find me on my head if he searches for it. You can leave with peace of mind."
Hearing what Jiang Ergou said, Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and could only believe that this young hero could find a solution on his own. Otherwise, the Zhang family would not be able to help even if they risked their lives.
"In this way, we, the master and the servant, left first. As for the young master's life-saving grace, we will have to repay it someday."
Jiang Ergou nodded. There was some disappointment in the latter's eyes. In fact, Zhang Yuan hoped that this young hero could accept Zhang Fengliang as his disciple. In this way, not only would Zhang Fengliang's possibility of becoming a first-class master be greatly increased in the future, but also his Zhang family's
The wish for revenge can be easily realized, but unfortunately, judging from the current situation, this young hero has no such idea.
But Zhang Fengliang obviously didn't want to miss the opportunity and immediately knelt on his knees to worship Jiang Ergou as his teacher.
But how could Jiang Ergou let him succeed? Since he had no intention of accepting him as his disciple, it was naturally impossible for him to accept his worship. You must know that after performing the master-disciple kneeling ceremony, he, Jiang Ergou, was obliged to teach him his skills.
I saw a gentle inner force gently supporting Zhang Fengliang and then lifting him up.
"If you do this again, my relationship with your Zhang family will be completely severed."
Zhang Fengliang's face turned pale immediately, while Zhang Yuan quietly watched all this happening without saying a word.
Looking at Zhang Fengliang's pale little face, Jiang Ergou immediately felt soft in his heart. It's not that he is always soft-hearted, it's just because he was concerned about himself, and he remembered his previous experiences. If it weren't for the old man, he and the people in front of him would be the same.
What is different about this young man?
In fact, he was even worse than this young man.
Perhaps he was destined to have some cause and effect with the child named Zhang Fengliang. In the words of the young monk Qingfa next to him, this is called fate. Jiang Ergou sighed and continued.
"Forget it, I told you before that you can only practice swordsmanship within five years, and you are not allowed to break through the realm. If you can reach the first-level realm in six years, I will accept you as a disciple."
original
Zhang Yuan, who was overjoyed, immediately opened his mouth. He has reached the first-level realm within six years! And he is not allowed to break through the realm for the next five years. How is this possible? I am afraid that even the reincarnation of the Sword Immortal cannot do this.
For a moment, Zhang Yuan thought that Jiang Shaoxia was too embarrassed to refuse, so he made such a request.
But Zhang Fengliang suddenly ignited his fighting spirit. Since the young hero in front of him can become a first-class master at such a young age, why can't he do it?
Suddenly, Zhang Fengliang's body showed a hint of sword energy. This may not make any difference to others. At most, they would think that Zhang Fengliang was inspired and full of confidence, but Jiang Ergou saw more.
, if this Fengliang was just an ordinary piece of iron before, it is now qualified to be polished into a sharp sword.
Sensing the change in Zhang Fengliang's temperament, Jiang Ergou nodded, and then continued.
"In that case, I will give you a sword. When you can realize this sword, you will not be far from the first-level realm."
Just for a moment, the Bronze Bird Sword flashed with white light and was sheathed again. No earth-shattering scene appeared, as if nothing happened.
"This sword, Ming Zangfeng, was born out of my other sword, Zangfeng. I want you not to break through the realm within five years. I just want you to learn to hide the sword in the sheath. In this way, when you draw the sword in the future, you can have sword energy filling the sky.
Magnificent atmosphere.”
Zhang Fengliang listened with fascination, and even He Huaichun and Zhang Yuan on the side were thoughtful, but Jiang Ergou obviously didn't intend to say too much, and stopped after he said this.
"These are just a few words of advice for you. How much of the essence you can get depends on your own luck."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ergou stopped staying and headed towards Suzhou City. He wanted to see if Xie Tianya was in the city.
…
In the capital, in the residence of the second prince Chu Tianxiong, the minister ordered Cheng Yijie to be his guest.
"After the second prince returned from his trip to the grassland, his prestige in the capital has greatly increased! In addition, in recent years, seniors from martial arts academies have gradually penetrated into the armies across Dachu. In two years, the second prince's prestige in the army will not only increase
Apart from the Emperor, I am afraid that no one can compare with me."
Chu Tianxiong raised his wine glass and took a sip.
"Master Cheng, what you said is wrong. They are all soldiers of Chu and generals of my father. How can I have the prestige to say this? Master Cheng deserves to be punished!"
Cheng Yijie picked up the wine glass with one hand, stroked his beard with the other and smiled.
"Hahaha, the second prince is right. We all serve Da Chu and are loyal to the emperor. This drink is indeed a punishment."
After finishing his glass of wine, Cheng Yijie continued.
"Second Prince, the prince's side has been too quiet in recent days. Logically speaking, with Su Ruyu advising him, there should be some commotion! This Su Ruyu has learned the true legacy of his father, Old Fox Su, so he can't
Look down upon!"
The second prince said calmly.
"Soldiers will stop us, and water will cover us. What's more, those literati can only make a fuss by writing excerpts and swearing in court."
Cheng Yijie nodded.
"But this year it is said that the prince has the idea of expanding the academy. If this is done, all the scholars in the world will belong to the prince's family!"
The second prince shook his head and said.
"They are nothing more than a bunch of wallflowers. How many of them can really have the backbone? If my eldest brother and I really fall out, we will end up with a victor and a loser."
Cheng Yijie continued.
"Having said that, we still have to guard against it! It would be good even if it is to increase the chance of winning for Da Chu in the future."
The second prince glanced at Cheng Yijie in surprise.
"I have always thought that Mr. Cheng was planning for the family. I never thought that Mr. Cheng would be so broad-minded. It seems that I was right to choose Mr. Cheng as my partner."
Cheng Yijie said with a smile.
"Although I, Mr. Cheng, have some selfish intentions, I am quite sober when it comes to important matters of the family and the country. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that your thoughts on governing the country, the second prince, are similar to Mr. Cheng's, and that the second prince himself is still working hard to govern, I wouldn't.
I will bet on you, the second prince."
Chu Tianxiong nodded again, obviously agreeing with Cheng Yijie's statement. The reason why he dared to cooperate with this old fox was because he had taken a fancy to literati like Cheng Yijie.
But there is no evil intention. To put it bluntly, the territory of Da Chu was conquered by old men like Cheng Yijie in front of me. If the country is lost, these people's heartache is no less than that of the Chu family.
Seeing that Chu Tianxiong was in a good mood, Cheng Yijie continued.
"Second Prince, in Qi Baihe's imperial examination case, two officials were originally going to be beheaded. At that time, the old minister was able to save them in the hands of the emperor. I sent them to Suzhou and Hangzhou to gather them together.
Scholars from both places have prepared for future needs, and now it’s time to bear fruit.”
“Suzhou and Hangzhou?”
There was some doubt in Chu Tianxiong's tone, but he was quickly relieved.
"There are still a few people available in these two places, but how many scholars are available who can be gathered by the two people you mentioned? Don't let them all be embroidered pillows, which are useless but not useful."
Cheng Yijie received the message.
"The Second Prince can rest assured about this. The land south of the Yangtze River has been unpopular with the court since the former Grand Master Chen Mu refused to serve and retired. This time, the two of them actually made acquaintance with several learned people.
, some ministers have personally seen that they are indeed the number one scholar, but they have no way to serve the country. Of course, whether these people can be used requires further assessment by the second prince, but it is undeniable that as long as the second prince treats these people
If you show me a little kindness, these people will surely tie a ring of grass in their hands to repay the second prince for his great kindness."
Chu Tianxiong nodded and said.
"Let me see it for myself when I have the chance. If it is as you said, I wouldn't mind working with you to recommend them to find a job in the court. Let's stop here today. Mr. Cheng can leave first if he has something to do. If he doesn't drink enough wine,
, I will ask someone to bring out two more jars."
Seeing Chu Tianxiong issue an order to expel guests, Cheng Yijie immediately stood up to say goodbye, and then strode out of Chu Tianxiong's mansion.
After leaving the gate, a figure appeared not far behind Cheng Yijie. It seemed that the two of them were far away, but as long as Cheng Yijie was in danger, that person would definitely be able to rescue him as soon as possible.
After ensuring that no one was behind him, Cheng Yijie pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve. In addition to the names of some talented students in the Jiangnan area, there was also a sentence on it: Within three years, two first-class masters will be produced!
Cheng Yijie has not forgotten that he originally asked the two people to leave the capital and go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to win over scholars openly, but secretly he was still recruiting all kinds of people from the world to work for him in case of emergencies.
At the beginning, he just saved the two people and arranged such a situation. To be honest, he did not expect those two people to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to do anything famous.
But it was not until he received the letter from Suzhou that he was convinced that the bait he had casually cast had now caught two big fish. But for some unknown reason, Cheng Yijie did not plan on cultivating the two big fish in Suzhou in the next three years.
The news from the two first-level masters told Chu Tianxiong that at this moment, no one knew what he was thinking about this.
"It's really unintentional!"
Cheng Yijie muttered something quietly, and then sighed softly.
"It's not in vain that I wasted the favor that Xie Tianya owed me for you."
