2. Go to Luoyang
more
The world of Datang Shuanglong, Luoyang.
The prosperity of the day has come to an end, and this Xiongcheng, which will become the earliest capital of China, the most dynasties and the longest history, is slowly falling into a deep sleep, waiting for a new day.
Cheng Peng sat in a private room in a tavern and drank alone, with no dishes on the table except a pot of thin water, only a newspaper.
This newspaper called "Shenzhou Special News" is run by the official game company, and it will select some major events in Asia to report every day, and will follow up and report on some relatively long events. However, the game administrators did not use special permissions to assist in interviews, but openly solicited press releases from all players and published them on the basis of merit, which can be regarded as an important stage for those literary young people to show their talents.
In the past, the Shenzhou special newspaper was sent to everyone's mailbox in the form of electronic documents with videos and pictures and text, and then after the suggestions of the players, it was changed to the style of this newspaper, which looks really kind. Adventure 2
However, the appearance can change, but the content cannot - Cheng Peng is now ostensibly flipping through the newspaper, but in fact he is still reading electronic documents containing videos.
There are many colorful and interesting events in the daily report, and he drinks the news, but he is also very happy.
After a while, the door of the box was pushed open, and several young people rushed in, with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling walking in front, and Qiao Xi, Wei Zhun and Luo Yu in the back.
"Brother Cheng?!" When Kou Zhong saw that it was his friend Cheng Peng who was sitting here waiting for them, he was overjoyed and shouted happily.
Cheng Peng put down the newspaper, got up with a smile to greet him, and beckoned the shopkeeper who followed everyone in to serve the wine and food.
If it's just NPCs, they can only obediently go to rest at night-the curfew is not a joke, but the privileges of the players play a role in this, and the eyes of the shopkeeper turned back and forth on Kou Xu and a few players, and finally nodded, and went out with the name of the dish like a song.
That's the benefit of the player, being able to buy food and drink at any time.
The sumptuous banquet was soon set up, and everyone was obviously hungry, and they were not polite, and they ate with chopsticks together.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cheng Peng inquired about the experience of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling during this time.
This is actually a very knowingly asked, he has already known the glorious deeds of these two little brothers through the player's channel: after leaving the Pegasus Ranch, Kou Xu and the others traveled around Jingxiang, and soon occupied the Xiongcheng Xiangyang by chance, pulled up a team called the "Young Marshal Army", and received the assistance of a large number of players. Although they were defeated from Xiangyang by a strong enemy soon after, the main force of the young marshal's army did not suffer much damage and soon settled down again.
At this time, Kou Zhong, the commander of the Young Marshal Army, was inspired by the players and issued a declaration that shocked the world.
The young marshal's army will crack down on the wealthy clans, suppress the gate lords, establish a country based on the lower classes of the people, and directly select officials from the people through official education and imperial examinations, so as to completely solve the long-standing situation of aristocratic families controlling all social rights!
This declaration naturally made them the target of public criticism, but fortunately, today is chaotic, all sides are fighting endlessly, and the young marshal's army is surrounded by enemies, and they don't care about any more trouble.
As for giants such as the Li family in Guanzhong and the Song family in Sichuan and Shu - Kou Zhong solved this problem with a very simple sentence: "If we can succeed and coerce the hearts of the people in the world, which gate valve can stop it?" And if we can't do it, what does it make if we are defeated and killed? ”
His free and easy words convinced everyone, so everyone really rallied around him and fought for the ideal society he depicted into reality.
Time flies, and the battle is like fire.
The game lasted for a few months, the plot of the story advanced a lot, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also grew a lot. Kou Zhong is stronger, his skin is slightly darkened due to the perennial sun exposure, and there are many more scars on his face and body, making him look more mature and stable; Xu Ziling grew taller again, looking a little thin, his fair skin did not leave any traces of conquest, and his temperament was more elegant and free, just like a famous man of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
At the same time, their strength has also been greatly improved, and now they have reached the peak of three stars, and they are only one step away from stepping into four stars.
"We originally thought that we had fought a lot of battles during this time, and our kung fu had made great progress, and we might be able to shorten the distance between us and Brother Cheng. I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for a while, big brother, you have gone one step further - now I'm afraid that even those famous masters in the rivers and lakes are not your opponents, right? Kou Zhong said with a smile. Adventure 2
Cheng Peng raised his brows slightly and shook his head.
"The scope of these three words is too wide, such as the 'Qinglong' Ren Shaoming who was killed by your brothers, Li Mi and Zhai Rang are considered big masters, and Yu Wenhua is also considered a big master - of course I can deal with these people; It can be such as the four holy monks of Buddhism, several real people of Taoism, and several grandmasters of the Demon Gate...... I probably can't beat it. ”
"Speaking of the Demon Gate...... I heard Hou Shanchang say, eldest brother, you are also from the Demon Gate, and you are still in the same door as him? Xu Ziling asked curiously, "Isn't that Huajian faction engaged in culture and art?" Big brother, you are obviously a military general, why are you also a member of the Flower Sect? ”
The Hou Shanchang he was talking about was naturally Hou Xibai.
After the Young Marshal's announcement was made by the Young Marshal, Hou Xibai took some of his newly recruited students to the Young Marshal's garrison and joined them as the dean of the official school, the Blossom Academy, known at this time as "Mountain Chief".
Hou Xibai did not hide his identity, and hung up the signboard of the "Huajian School" in a grand manner, and openly declared that he would carry forward the Huajian School, officially enter the society as an academic and artistic school, and call on young people who are interested in learning literature and art to come to school.
This move completely violated the consistent purpose of the Demon Gate, and also shocked all factions in the world, and many masters of the good and evil factions came to him for trouble, but they were defeated by him one by one, and finally had to admit his approach. The Demon Gate even sent some helpers to assist him in building the academy.
Of course, most of these early ones are some pawns, and the strongest ones are just the goods that accompany the last seat among the eight masters of the evil sect such as You Niaoti, the really strong Zhu Yuyan, Master Likong, and even Ning Daoqi Shi Zhixuan and others did not appear, otherwise even if Hou Xibai has broken through the bottleneck and promoted to five stars, he will definitely not be able to beat those senior masters, so he can only flee in the wilderness - maybe he can't escape.
But in the eyes of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, this Hou Shanchang is really a hero, which is admirable.
It's just that no matter how admirable it is, Hou Xibai is still a handsome scholar who is knowledgeable and talented, and most of the people in the Huajian faction are also in this image, even Qiao Xi is pointing at the country with a lupine scarf all day long, which is completely different from Cheng Peng, a typical martial artist.
So when they learned that Cheng Peng was actually a member of the Huajian faction, they were really shocked and wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.
"There are many reasons why I joined the Flower Pie...... But in general, I have a good relationship with Sect Master Hou, and I am indeed an elder of the Huajian Sect. Cheng Peng nodded, admitting his identity as the elder of the Demon Gate, and then changed the conversation and asked Kou Xu and the others why they came to Luoyang.
In fact, these words were also asked knowingly, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling left the young marshal's army and traveled far away, and even risked the danger to sneak into the territory of Wang Shichong of Luoyang, who was hostile to him, for the sake of naturally a military matter.
Not long ago, the representative of the righteous path, "Cihang Jingzhai", sent Shi Fei Xuan, the most proud disciple of our time, to step into the red dust with the treasure of the ages and the clan bi, or the jade seal of the country, saying that he wanted to choose a true son of heaven for the common people in the world.
Now, she is in Luoyang.
Since Kou Zhong wanted to participate in the competition for the world, he naturally couldn't let something of great significance like the heirloom jade seal fall into the hands of others. So he asked Hou Xibai to help take care of the house, and secretly sneaked into Luoyang with his good brother Xu Ziling and a few cronies and capable henchmen, intending to snatch the heirloom jade seal.
"Even if you can't get it, at least try to destroy it!" Kou Zhong said viciously, "If you let people like Li Valve and Song Valve ...... Or if Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others get the jade seal of the country, then it will definitely rise in momentum, and when the time comes, let's not talk about eating meat, we won't even have to drink soup! ”
Cheng Peng nodded, agreeing with his statement.
The so-called general trend of the world actually refers to the people's will. The people's will seems to be ethereal, but in fact, there are very rules to follow - first of all, you have to be able to win the battle, and the loser is not qualified to talk about the people's will; Secondly, you have to be good to the people, at least not to expropriate and extort; And then you have to have a reputation, preferably a relationship with God or something; In the end, you have to have a good background, even if you can't be the fourth and third dukes, at least don't be a green-skinned barbarian who can only "agggh".
Basically, these are the ways to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Among these articles, the young marshal army really doesn't have much advantage.
When it comes to the record, they really don't have any record that they can handle, although they have won a few battles, but a big defeat even lost Xiangyang, which is enough to lose the score in this area. Adventure 2
In terms of prestige, Kou Zhong really has no prestige - he has neither money nor power, neither a cultural celebrity nor a martial arts master, at best he is just a little famous, not to mention Zhai Rang Li Mi, he is not even as good as the three sons of the Li family or several subordinates of Dou Jiande.
If you want to talk about your background, Kou Zhong is even more miserable - his parents died when he was young, and he doesn't even remember where his ancestral home is or what his father's name is.
Among the four conditions, there is also "benevolent government", which he has done well, although he does not dare to say that it is a peaceful and prosperous era under the rule of the young marshal, at least it can be regarded as a rare piece of pure land in this "chaotic" world.
But everyone understands that if you want to compete for the hearts and minds of the people in the world, it is far from enough to rely on a quarter of the conditions.
That's why Kou Zhong was willing to take a risk and sneaked into Luoyang to try to seize the jade seal of the country.
If he can snatch this treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in China, no matter how he does it, he can at least prove to many "superstitious" people that the Mandate of Heaven really favors him to some extent, and he can win the hearts of the people to a great extent.
And the reason why Cheng Peng rushed to the world of Datang Shuanglong Biography was to receive news from Qiao Xi to help his good brother complete this big thing!
