Chapter Twenty-Eight: Vertical and Horizontal Swordsmanship

When the basics were finished, the other officials were gone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Only the governor of the secret room platform who had a one-sided relationship remained, and Kotoku stayed. The last time Zhang Huairang was arrested, the secret room was sent to deal with Xingde.

Yu Canghai knew that he had something to explain, so he invited him to the study and waved him away.

"Tall, please." Yu Canghai personally poured a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Xingde.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xingde was not polite, and drank it all when he brought it.

Gao Xingde finished drinking the tea, and saw that Yu Canghai was just smiling and didn't speak, so he knew what he meant, and said straight to the point: "This is going to Dingzhou, and the lower officials will walk with His Royal Highness." ”

"Oh?" Yu Canghai changed his mind and said, "I went to Dingzhou this time, except to represent the royal family to participate in the martial arts meeting. The only task is what you just said, to transport a batch of money, pills, armor and other materials as a reward from the Dingzhou Martial Arts Association. This little thing, and you still have to be accompanied by a tall adult? Could it be that there is something hidden in it? ”

"Exactly, in this martial arts meeting, in addition to sending members of the royal family, the state department also has a minister to accompany him. Does Your Highness know who the minister sent by Dingzhou is? Gao Xingde leaned in and whispered.

"I haven't been notified yet." Yu Canghai suddenly had a bad premonition.

"It's Shenwu Hou, Gao Changgong."

When Yu Canghai heard this, he was shocked. Gao Changgong is the first person in the Yu Dynasty now, and he has reached the peak of his prestige, status, and actual power. It is absolutely unusual for a state martial arts meeting to ask Shenwu Hou to preside over it.

"If I'm not mistaken, the ministers sent by other state departments are the highest of the three ranks. Three princes and nine ministers, ministers above the second rank, none of them will move. Why did you choose Dingzhou and send Shenwu Marquis? Yu Canghai hurriedly asked.

Gao Xingde said: "This is exactly the reason why I want to explain to His Highness. When we set off tomorrow, we will indeed be transporting the goods of the reward. The sergeants accompanying the escort were ordinary town soldiers. But when it comes to the junction of Zhili and Dingzhou, these personnel and materials will be replaced. ”

"10,000 Jin Wuwei, and 20,000 reserves, have already detoured from Wonsan and set off in batches. They will be waiting for us in a specific place. Shenwu Hou will also quietly leave Yuanjing City and wait in front. In order to ensure that our guards had enough time to assemble, we had to travel for eight days, which was originally scheduled to take five days. ”

Yu Canghai said: "Why is this? ”

The rest of the state departments are run by local officials. And Zhili, that is, directly under the state department, is the meaning of the central government, which is directly ruled by the royal family. Zhili was also the largest state of the Yu Dynasty, with seven counties. In other states, it is generally three counties, or even two counties. Zhili and all state departments were connected, which facilitated the rule of the royal family over the localities.

Xingde said softly: "Dingzhou is in a mess now. The imperial court's control over Dingzhou is not as good as before. It can be said that the situation has been eroded to the extreme. The Liang Dynasty left a large number of people behind to sabotage secretly. There are also other dynasties, as well as some Jianghu forces, and local wealthy families take advantage of the fire to rob. The devil's way, the members of the cult, are also lurking in it, plotting against them. ”

"Especially the border army in Dingzhou is no longer reliable. When we went to Dingzhou this time, we had a more important task, that is, to rectify the border army, clean the locality, and find out and kill those who had bad intentions one by one. Create a good environment for the next action of the imperial court. Therefore, the martial arts club in Dingzhou is not important, the important thing is that it will attract the attention of many people and will create an opportunity for us to catch it all. ”

Yu Canghai was silent for a moment and said, "As a prince, you should obey the overall situation. I'll follow the arrangement. His instincts told him that he wasn't telling the truth, or rather, wasn't fully accountable. But he also has nothing to do, obeying the overall situation and arrangement, is the best choice.

"So that His Highness will know that this is a top secret, and you must not tell it." Seeing Yu Canghai nodding, Xingde stood up: "In this way, the lower official will retire." ”

"It's a bad feeling to not know anything. Once something happens, it is very dangerous to realize it later. Seeing that Xingde was gone, Yu Canghai also poured himself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly. He was thinking about the context of the matter, and sighed for a long time: "I still can't come in a hurry, I want time, at least two years." ”

At this moment, Qingyu's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness! ”

Yu Canghai walked out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The housekeeper of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is here."

"Take me there."

Yu Canghai saw someone in the main hall. An old man with an old face, but with a tall posture and a white beard and hair, but meticulously groomed, was sitting in the guest seat and waiting. Behind him stood two black-clad warriors, holding exquisite boxes in their hands.

"I've seen the Thirteenth Highness." Seeing Yu Canghai come out, the old man hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted, and his tone was respectful. I can't fault the slightest.

Yu Canghai bowed slightly, he was not polite, and said directly: "What is the matter?" ”

The three officials in front of the prime minister's house, the housekeeper of the prime minister's mansion, may be very important to others. But in front of Yu Canghai, he is a civilian. Let him enter the door, all for the sake of Zuo Xiang's face.

"Prime Minister Zuo heard that His Highness was going to Dingzhou, so he sent a set of armor for His Highness." After the old butler finished speaking, he took a huge iron box with an extremely long and beautifully made iron from the hand of a warrior behind him. The butler opened the box and pulled out a crudely made, dull two-handed sword. Respectfully handed it over.

He spoke: "This is a spiritual weapon, the sword of the prince in the sword of the Great Liang Clan, and the national treasure of the Liang Dynasty. It was given to Zuo Xiang by the first emperor. Zuo Xiang felt that he was old, and said that the sword is worthy of a hero, and he specially ordered me to send it for His Highness. ”

Yu Canghai was expressionless, did not take it, and was not happy at all. He turned his mind around, and he thought of a lot. Zuo Xiang and him have never crossed paths, and their status is very different. It's not that the left is not as good as him, but that he is not as good as the left. There is only one left phase, and it has not been changed for decades. When Yu Wuya sees it, he must be respectful. But there are many princes, and he is still the one with the lowest status.

So why did Zuo Xiang suddenly send such a precious gift? Some time ago, the eldest prince colluded with the right minister, and the result was that the eldest prince was imprisoned, and the right minister was abolished as a concubine. Zuo Xiang will not know that this is a taboo now, he sent himself a spiritual weapon, and he will definitely be impeached by Yushi.

Then there is only one possibility, he defeated all the princes and princesses in the school field today, so that Zuo Xiang took a fancy to him, and at the risk of being impeached, he showed favor to him.

Heroes, the Prince's Sword, Spiritual Weapons, National Treasures. The weight of any word is not light, and it is a very hot gift. I'm afraid that the entire Yu Dynasty doesn't have many spiritual weapons, this is a bomb.

Yu Canghai thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to answer. Then he said: "Please ask the housekeeper to reply to the left phase on behalf of the palace, and it will not be rewarded." This sword is too precious for me to take. And my martial arts are too low, I can't use spiritual weapons at all, and I can't use magic weapons. ”

The old butler was unmoved, and still bowed to the sword. He said: "The left minister has an explanation. He is old, he has lived less than ten years, and he has no sons or grandchildren. There is nothing more to be done in the world. So that His Royal Highness will know that no matter who goes to Dingzhou this time, he will present this sword of the Liang clan and use the sword of the Liang Dynasty to kill the people of the Liang Dynasty. And this sword is flawed, it doesn't have the power of a spiritual weapon..."

The old housekeeper explained for a long time before Yu Canghai was moved: "I know Zuo Xiang's intentions." The heart of serving the country is admirable, and the palace has accepted it. ”

With a reason, Yu Canghai dared to take it, so that he would not find an excuse to attack. This gift is more symbolic than practical. He accepted it, there will still be disadvantages on the surface, but the actual hidden benefits are very great.

The left minister sent the sword of the prince of the thirteenth highness. If it is spread out, how will it be perceived by other officials, generals, and the people? Zuo Xiang has been in a high position for decades, but the peach and plum are all over the world, and most of the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty are from Zuo Xiang's command, even Shenwu Hou is Zuo Xiang's disciple. As soon as this sword is retracted, his status will be quickly raised.

Yu Canghai stretched out his right hand and pinched the hilt of the sword, and wanted to pick it up. He saw that the butler was holding a sword, and it was as light as a straw, so he didn't use much strength. He lifted his sword, and the old butler let go. Yu Canghai was about to take a closer look at the Great Liang Clan's sword, and as soon as the old butler let go, the sword instantly weighed a hundred times and fell straight to the ground.

"Hey." The strength of Yu Canghai's whole body subconsciously burst out, and he was able to hold the Great Liang Sword steadily.

"Oops." This one was steady, Yu Canghai was shocked in his heart, this sword weighed at least more than three thousand catties, and he picked it up with one hand, completely exposing his hidden strength.

Yu Canghai hurriedly looked at the housekeeper, and saw a gleam in his eyes, and he clearly saw it thoroughly. Yu Canghai's face turned black in an instant, and he said secretly: "Careless, these old guys are really unguardable.

Yu Canghai raised his sword to the ground, and said in a cold tone: "Is there anything else?" ”

The butler smiled and said unhurriedly, "There is also a piece of soft armor." ”

He took a boxy wooden box from another samurai and pulled out a piece of glowing soft armor.

The housekeeper introduced: "This is the top refining sect in the world, and the Tiangong Sect is refining for Zuo Xiang. Wang's Jia, the world's sharp weapon. His defensive ability is no less than that of a medium-grade magic weapon, but it cannot bring additional amplitude and power. ”

Yu Canghai was afraid that there would be fraud in it, so he said, "Thank you." Where do you put it? He kept reminding himself in his heart that today's mistake must not be a second time.

The housekeeper didn't care, put Wang Shijia back in the wooden box, took out a paper book from it, and respectfully handed it over: "This is Zuo Zuo's martial arts, all the experiences and annotations of his life, and it also includes his swordsmanship "Vertical and Horizontal Sword". The Da Liang sword is a two-handed sword, which is domineering, and it is consistent with Zuo Xiang's swordsmanship. Zuo Xiang once faced the martial arts real person on the battlefield, and was undefeated in thirty moves with swordsmanship, and was the first swordsmanship master of the Yu Dynasty. ”

Yu Canghai's eyes lit up, and he took it in an instant, and he couldn't wait to look at it: "Zuo Xiang's great grace, Yu Canghai keeps it in mind." ”

In this book, the experience and journey from martial arts to great grandmaster are clearly written. Yu Canghai saw a lot of exercises and martial arts in the storage room. But such experience and experience are very rare. He knows how precious it is, and for him, it is no less than a beacon of guidance. No magic weapon can compare to it. It's a real great favor.
