In order to clear up the grievances of the family and glorify the ancestors, Qingcheng vowed to become the Marquis of Xinting, and after saying goodbye to his lover Ouyang Lan, he rushed to Luolei Gorge with his retainers Lei Ying and Swift Wind. As Duan's father said, time is running out, since you have a goal, you have to go all out and act as soon as possible.

Falling Thunder Gorge, the place where the thunder demon fell. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a pictographic demon king, who could call the wind and rain, and held the power of thunder, and then was killed by the wind god, and the place where it fell was named Luolei Gorge. Later, a thousand years ago, there was a demon in the middle of the road called "Fengyun Evil Emperor", who claimed to be the descendant of the thunder demon, with strong martial arts, domineering internal force, and was able to gather electricity in the palm of his hand and guide the thunder to forge his body. After being defeated by the two strange people of the Sword Sect, the legend of the Thunder Demon has dissipated for more than a thousand years.

Qingcheng accidentally fell to the bottom of the Falling Thunder Canyon when he was young, and was rescued by his teacher "Lei Delusional Daoist", who saw Qingcheng's bones and strange faces, and calculated that he must be a man of the hour who stirred up the world, and he was destined to be a disciple and taught him.

This time, the Duan family was in trouble, and Qingcheng's first thing was to practice his skills, so after coming to Luolei Gorge, he explained the situation to his teacher, who also knew that time was precious, so he didn't do much sadness, and took Qingcheng to the cliff of the back mountain, ready to start the retreat.

"In vain, the Thunder Demon Martial Dao of Luolei Gorge is the most powerful in terms of internal strength 'Electric Radiance Technique' and external kung fu 'Wind Thunder Palm' and 'King Kong Legs'. You are gifted and intelligent, and you have already practiced to the tenth layer of the 'Electric Radiance Technique', but the teacher also told you that if you want to be among the world's first-class masters, you must have at least the skills of the 12th layer of the 'Electric Radiance Technique'. Fortunately, you have a solid foundation and are well prepared for this time as a teacher, so I think you will be able to achieve it after a maximum of three years of retreat. This time your family is in trouble, it is also a great encouragement for you, do your best for the teacher, as for whether you succeed or not, it depends on your own. ”

Qingcheng has long been prepared, even if he is forced to a dead end in the future, he will not give up easily. After listening to the master's instructions, Qingcheng explained some things to Lei Ying and Wind, and began to retreat and cultivate. And Daoist Lei Yu said that he was going to give him a gift on the day of Qingcheng's exit, and he also went to take care of himself.

"Electric Radiance Formula" is divided into thirteen realms, one to six layers of forging body; Seven to nine layers of cohesion; Ten to twelve layers of current surge around the body, so that the gestures are not only full of strength, but also the power is compelling; And the most mysterious thirteenth layer of the realm, according to legend, need to lead the sky and thunder to fall, reshape the body, instantly, its people are like the thunder god descending to earth, domineering skills, pulling out thousands of pounds, it is really a product of divine skill.

The internal strength of the Falling Thunder Gorge is powerful, and the four sets of foreign kung fu of the Thunder Demon are also the best choice. "Wind and Thunder Palm" gathers electricity in the palm of the hand, unpredictable; The "King Kong leg" has a thousand catties of strength to defeat the enemy; "Falling thunder flash" knife is sharp, dividing stones and breaking gold; The "electric dragon cone" concentrates on the point and attacks it unprepared.

Qingcheng has practiced martial arts diligently in the past few years, and thanks to the careful guidance of Daoist Lei Delusion, he is already the skill of the tenth layer realm of the electric radiance and brilliance, and in this retreat, his goal is not only to impact the two layers and reach the twelfth layer realm, but also to practice the four sets of external skills with ease. Although the hard work pays off, the difficulty can be imagined.

Let's put it aside for the time being in Qingcheng and talk about the top priorities in the world in recent days. Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, half of the country has been laid by Han Huang, and Emperor Hui, the uncle of the Seven Emperors, is the first-class loyalty in the world, otherwise, the throne would have changed hands long ago. And the major event in recent days is Emperor Hui's new reward to Han Huang.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The king of Zhenbei has done his best and is loyal. The emperor's grace is not to be paid, there will be a reward, and now he is crowned as the 'King of Northern Xinjiang', and all military affairs in the north can be arbitrary, first cut and then played. ”

Han Huang's original title was "King of Zhenbei", and now it has been changed to "King of Northern Xinjiang", although he is still in charge of military affairs in the north, but the change of a title is enough to see that Emperor Hui trusts and values him.

"King of Zhenbei" is the prince who guards the northern border for the imperial court, and the "King of Northern Xinjiang" can basically be said to be the king of the northern border. Although Han Huang was loyal and didn't care about these names, Emperor Hui's trust in him was indeed intriguing.

Emperor Qi Hui Han Qi inherited all the "excellent" points of his father, the most famous of which is suspicion. He once said when his father was dying, "All the officials in the world are outsiders, and only the Seven Emperor Uncles are credible." It was just such a sentence that made Emperor Qi Yao completely decide who would succeed him.

Back then, under the leadership of the king of Northern Xinjiang, Daqi chased Yunlong in the north, drove Huchen in the south, descended to Haichuan in the east, and Tubo in the west, and finally re-stabilized the situation in the Central Plains. Later Daqi helped the Northern Wei Dynasty to establish a state to clamp down on Yunlong; helped Li Yuankai, the young lord of Dongtu, regain power, make him submit, and defend the Western tribes for Daqi; Conquer the Southern Zhao in the south and establish a province as a barrier against the raids of the Southern Barbarian Huchen. After that, Han Huang wrote a book, established the "Quartet General", guarded the Quartet, and the Central Plains entered the world and recuperated. It can be said that today's Great Qi can do without the emperor, but it cannot do without the king of Northern Xinjiang.

After the end of the dynasty in the morning of this day, Han Huang, the "King of Northern Xinjiang", received the reward and was about to return to the fiefdom, but was invited to the harem by Emperor Hui to have a special family banquet. In fact, this kind of thing is already common, basically every time the king of Northern Xinjiang returns to Beijing, Emperor Hui wants to invite him. And today, Han Huang was newly canonized as the king of Northern Xinjiang, and Emperor Hui was in a good mood, and the harem was full of songs and dances.

At the banquet, the person sitting upright was no more than thirty years old, about five feet seven inches tall, wearing the emperor's yellow robe, and two sword eyebrows hung on his slightly feminine face, which deepened the majesty of the emperor, with a three-point smile on his face, and he was calm and unfazed in private affairs. And this person is the master of the creation of Qiankun, the monarch of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the Emperor of Qi Hui, Han Qi!

And the person who is sitting on the guest of honor at this moment is Emperor Hui's uncle, the god of war of Great Qi, and Han Huang, the king of Northern Xinjiang. The king of Northern Xinjiang is a military general at first glance, with a height of more than six feet, with full muscles, and a very burly figure. The perennial conquest made his skin show a healthy bronz, looking up, the angular face was dotted with two thick eyebrows, and the eagle-like eyes were blazing, and he seemed to be on guard at all times, and he was the first prince of Daqi, the identity of one person above ten thousand people, but he was dressed extremely simply, and his tepid personality also showed a low-key attitude.

Xu is a martial artist, and the king of Northern Xinjiang is not very interested in this kind of banquet. Emperor Hui saw his strangeness, chuckled and picked up the wine glass, and said: "Uncle Huang is really a model for a hundred officials, eat my banquet, and don't forget the northern military." I saw that Uncle Huang frowned, has there been anything going on in the north lately? ”

Listening to Emperor Hui's words to himself, the king of Northern Xinjiang raised his wine glass, pondered for a moment and said: "Recently, the northern realm has been a lot more peaceful, and the new emperor of 'Yunlong' has ascended the throne, and they will not make trouble." ”

"I've heard about it, too. However, the new emperor of 'Cloud Dragon' is only ten years old, and thinking about it, the power of 'Black Wolf' should be much higher. ”

The "black wolf" in Emperor Hui's mouth is talking about the "black wolf king" of the "Cloud Dragon Empire". This person is the auxiliary minister of the Yunlong Empire, the youngest brother of the Yunlong Emperor, it is rumored that he has been with wolves since he was a child, and he is brave and extraordinary, so he was named "Black Wolf King" when he became an adult. And this person is to Yunlong what Han Huang is to Daqi.

This is talking about military exploits, and when it comes to loyalty, the two can be said to be the same. The Black Wolf King has always been dissatisfied with his brother, and his disobedience has long been known to passers-by, and now that the new emperor is young, it is estimated that the power in the future will be his.

"What Your Majesty said is that the black wolf will definitely seize this opportunity to expand the scope of power as much as possible. Hey, this person is also an expert, and he has been in the north for several years, and he has never won or lost. At the moment, he has no energy, but according to the minister's estimate, in another year or two, when he has put Yunlong in order, it will be time to have a big battle with us. ”

Han Huang was known as the Great Qi God of War, and Emperor Hui naturally didn't dare to disbelieve his words, so he frowned at the moment and asked, "Then Uncle Huang predicts that at that time, which one will be stronger or weaker between us and Yunlong?" ”

Hearing Emperor Hui mention this, the king of Northern Xinjiang thought to himself, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, in terms of the strength of the country, we are far superior to Yunlong, but when it comes to military strength, hey, whether it is a general or a soldier, there is still a gap between us and Yunlong." ”

The king of Northern Xinjiang has written more than once, hoping that Emperor Hui can rectify the rule of officials and develop military strength, but this is what the king of Northern Xinjiang said, at most, he will appease a few words after rejecting it, if others say it, his head would have moved a long time ago. And now, listening to the king of Northern Xinjiang mention this again, Emperor Hui quietly put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "What the emperor said, I understand. It's just that Uncle Emperor of the Northern Military Affairs can let it go, and in other places, there is really no one who can be trusted right now. ”

Emperor Hui doesn't believe in foreigners, this point has long been clear to the king of Northern Xinjiang, but the monarch and the minister are two-hearted, and the country will not be protected, and now the soldiers don't know Emperor Hui's thoughts, if they know it, how can they be loyal to Daqi?

"Your Majesty, forgive your words. Nowadays, the generals of the country are all personally selected by you, and the 'Quartet Generals' are even more loyal, and Daqi is at the time of developing military strength, do you really not believe in the generals of the DPRK and China? ”

"Uncle Huang, I only believe in you, except for you, outsiders can only use it, how can I believe it", said, Emperor Hui put a piece of chopsticks and meat into the bowl of the king of Northern Xinjiang, and said solemnly: "You always say that you want to develop military strength, but Uncle Huang, don't forget how our Great Qi was established and how my father was called emperor." The meat in the bowl, thousands of people peep, outsiders are just feeding the uncooked wolf after all, just like that Feiyan ......"

"Your Majesty, in fact, Duan Feiyan ......"

"Okay, Uncle Huang", hearing that the King of Northern Xinjiang was about to argue for Duan Feiyan again, Emperor Hui hurriedly stopped: "His business is over, Uncle Huang shouldn't bother about him anymore, he is not worthy." In a word, Uncle Huang, my principle has always been, 'Regardless of gold and silver, the reputation of beauties, but the territory is sealed at a sparing inch'. In doing so, I know that it will hinder the development of the military, but you must first secure the inside before the outside, and you know this better than me. ”

Emperor Hui said this to this point, and even though the king of Northern Xinjiang was dissatisfied, he had to swallow it in his stomach, thank you, and eat the meat in the bowl. Seeing him like this, Emperor Hui showed his face and said with a smile: "That's right." Uncle Huang has done his best for Daqi, my heart is bright, our uncle and nephew can be harmonious, I believe that my father has a spirit in the sky, and I will be relieved. Okay, let's not talk about this today, Uncle Huang, I will toast you again. ”

After the banquet, the king of northern Xinjiang rushed back to the north, and Emperor Hui shielded the left and right, leaving only the commander of the forbidden army, Wang Xian. This person is the leader of the forbidden army, according to the military system of the Great Qi, his status in the army is second only to the king of Northern Xinjiang, it can be said that he is above one person under ten thousand people, responsible for protecting the safety of Emperor Hui, since the throne, there has been no mistake in the palace. And he is also from a family, and his father is also one of the three loyal ministers in the court, but they are all foolish and loyal, and they will do whatever the emperor says. At this moment, Emperor Hui thought about what the King of Northern Xinjiang mentioned, and asked, "How is the matter of the Duan family?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the forbidden army sent has returned, and the will has been carried out."

"Well, that's good", listening to Wang Xian's words, Emperor Hui touched the dragon head on the handle of the dragon chair, and said coldly: "Hmph, Duan Feiyan has self-respect and ambition, I didn't want to be so ruthless, but since he doesn't care about the friendship between the monarch and the minister, I can only do this." Send an order to keep an eye on his whereabouts, and if there is any abnormality, report it immediately, and act cheaply when necessary. ”

Acting cheaply, with great power, just to get rid of a loyal minister? This is the personality of Emperor Qi Hui. Listening to what he said, Wang Xian replied: "The minister understands. However, Your Majesty, although Duan Feiyan is gone, his son did not accompany him, and according to the minister's investigation, he should want to join the army. ”

Hearing Wang Xian mention the matter of Qingcheng, Emperor Hui raised his eyebrows and said: "What can this kind of rich boy brother do, if you want to join the army, hmph, just right, when the time comes, you pay attention to the point, find an opportunity, and send him away." ”

"Yes."

It is difficult to make meritorious contributions, and the monarch is not aspiring, and it depends on what Qingcheng does.
