Chapter 391: Borrowing Disciples to Make a Name
The group returned to Dali, and Emperor Baoding led everyone to the palace to discuss the rescue of Duan Yu, but Ling Muyun did not go with him, but took the initiative to ask to go back to Zhennan Wangfu to recuperate.
After being inadvertently cheated by Emperor Baoding, Ling Muyun was also a little cold-hearted, anyway, as long as there were no major changes in the historical trajectory, Duan Yu would definitely be able to save him, just suffer a little more.
Moreover, since Emperor Baoding wants to discuss the rescue of Duan Yu, they can't get around Duan Yanqing, and Duan Yanqing is also a disciple of the Duan family in Dali, which is actually the civil strife of the Duan family in Dali, the ugliness of the Duan family, and the internal shame of the Dali country. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, it is nothing for the monarchs and ministers to discuss, if he, an outsider, comes over, it will be a little annoying, it is better to avoid it with his own interest, and recuperate his injuries by the way.
And the fact is just as Ling Muyun expected, Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming also didn't want Ling Muyun to get involved, at this time Ling Muyun took the initiative to withdraw from it in line with his wishes, immediately nodded in agreement, and sent someone to send him back to Zhennan Wangfu.
When I came to Zhennan Wangfu, I was arranged by the people in the palace to rest in the guest room. Ling Muyun Yungong healed his injuries for a while, and he felt that the injuries in his body had eased a lot.
I didn't feel sleepy, so I took a nap in the room for a while, and when I woke up, I faintly heard the sound of drums outside the house, and firecrackers. Ling Muyun felt strange in his heart, so he summoned the people of the palace to ask, and the subordinates said happily: "The emperor canonized my prince as the emperor's younger brother, and also passed down the will, tomorrow the lanterns will be released, and Dali City Jinwu can't help but reward the three armies." Rewarding the elderly orphans with wine and meat, the people in the country deeply felt the emperor's kindness, and they were all cheering and celebrating, which was very lively. ”
It turns out that the military revolution of Dali has not flourished in recent years, the government is clear, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people in the country are very fond of the emperor and the marquis of Zhennan and other monarchs and ministers, the emperor has no children, and the king of Zhennan is set as the emperor's younger brother is in line with the people's hearts, not to mention that other rewards have been promulgated.
Ling Muyun knew. The reason why Duan Zhengming suddenly canonized Duan Zhengchun as the emperor's younger brother at this juncture. In fact, it has a deep meaning, on the one hand, it is to prevent himself from sudden accidents, Dali Guozuo can continue smoothly, and on the other hand, he also wants to get rid of Duan Yanqing's delusions. His move was tantamount to telling Duan Yanqing clearly. Unless Duan Yanqing can get rid of the two brothers together. Otherwise, this throne Duan Yanqing doesn't have to think about it.
It's just that Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming may not be able to think of it. In the original history, it was precisely because of his will today that Duan Yanqing regarded Duan Zhengchun as a thorn in the flesh. deliberately wanted to get rid of him, which eventually led to Duan Zhengchun's later death in Mantuo Villa. If you had known this, you don't know if Duan Zhengming would still stick to this will?
Soon after, Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng returned to the palace from the palace and set up a dinner party to entertain Ling Muyun to thank Ling Muyun for his righteous actions. It's just that Duan Yu is still in the opponent's hands now, the good luck and the evil are uncertain, and both sides are not in the mood, so they just ate a hasty meal and dispersed the banquet, and went back to their rooms to rest.
There was nothing to say that night, he slept well, and got up at dawn the next day, but he heard the sound of people celebrating from time to time outside the palace, Ling Muyun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this inheritance of the throne has always been the most concerned by the upper class of society, and it is much worse at the level of ordinary people. Even if the people of Dali love the Duan brothers again, they won't be overwhelmed overnight, right?
I also asked the people of the palace to inquire, and I learned that it was Emperor Baoding who issued a moral policy and issued an edict to exempt Dali from the salt tax in Dali and benefit the people, so the people are still so happy.
Ling Muyun suddenly realized that he was still in a feudal society at this time, and the country's finances all relied on taxes, and salt and iron were the main items of national taxation, so the salt tax was very heavy, and the corresponding salt price was extremely high. Although the government of Dali is clear and the people's livelihood is safe, the expensive price of salt is still a major problem that plagues the people of Limin, many people can afford to eat, but they can't afford to buy salt. Now that the salt tax is exempted, the price of salt is bound to drop sharply, and the people's own immediate problems have been solved, and they are naturally cheering.
Ling Muyun saw something different from this, if he remembered correctly, in the original history, Emperor Duan Zhengming of Baoding also felt embarrassed after learning Duan Yanqing's identity.
After all, Duan Yanqing is his cousin and the crown prince of the first emperor's dynasty, although it is inconvenient for him to do it himself, it is not appropriate to send his subordinates to forcibly save people, and with Duan Yanqing's martial arts, he may not be able to do it. If you go to invite the senior monks in Tianlong Temple, although there are martial arts that are better than Duan Yanqing, but the senior monks of Tianlong Temple are all from the Duan family, and it is inconvenient to participate in the internal strife of their own clan and favor Duan Zhengming.
In the end, Duan Zhengming had no choice but to invite the Huangmei monk who was practicing meditation in seclusion on the edge of Dali to come out and help save people, and the price was to agree to the request made by the Huangmei monk a few years ago and exempt Dali from the salt tax! Now that the salt tax has been exempted, most of the old monks with yellow eyebrows have also been invited out to save Duan Yu.
……
In a blink of an eye, another day passed, during this time, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, Ling Muyun also exchanged his contribution points for a chance to have a martial arts epiphany with the system, and integrated the "Spirit Crane Strange Book" obtained from the crane in the clouds, especially the wonderful light skill of "Crane Xiang Nine Heavens", into his own extraterrestrial divine skill, and perfected his own light skill deduction to a higher level.
After the success, Ling Muyun was confident that if he ran into the crane in the clouds again, even if the other party was intact, he would never be able to escape from his hands again!
However, compared to Ling Muyun's peace of mind and practice, the Duan family was anxious. It's been a day and a night, but Duan Yu still hasn't come back, and when he wants to order Ba Tianshi to listen to the movement, he finds that Ba Tianshi is gone, not only him, but also Situ Hua Hegen and Sima Fan Ye.
Emperor Baoding couldn't sit still, and immediately summoned the emperor's younger brother Duan Zhengchun, Shanyan Hou Gao Shengtai, and Chu Wanli and other four David protectors, together with the princess of Zhennan Dao Baifeng, and then went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. Ling Muyun's injuries were almost healed at this time, and he wanted to see how far the situation had developed, so he also invited himself to accompany him.
The group traveled all the way to the mouth of the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, but saw the crane in the clouds greet them, bowed, and said with a smile: "We, the 'Four Great Evildoers' and the Lord of Zhong Valley, had expected that Emperor Duan would come again today, and I have been waiting here for a long time. If Emperor Duan is with ironclad military horses. So we fled, and took the son of the king of Zhennan with us. But if you follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and meet friends with martial arts, please enter the hall to serve tea. ”
Emperor Baoding saw that the other party was very calm, and he was obviously fearless, unlike the big battle of ping-pong the day before yesterday, but he was even more frightened.
It's just that Emperor Baoding is the respect of a country in the end, and the city is quite deep, although he is secretly shocked in his heart. But his face was silent. He returned the salute and said, "That's very good." ”
The crane in the cloud led the way, and the group came to the hall. As soon as everyone stepped into the hall door, they saw that the hall was full of heroes. Ye Erniang, the South China Sea Crocodile God and others are among them. But I didn't see Duan Yanqing, the head of the four wicked people.
Yun Zhonghe said loudly: "Teacher Duan, the head of the Tiannan Duan family, has arrived. ”
He doesn't say 'His Majesty the Emperor of Dali'. But it is commensurate with the name in the martial arts, pointing out that everything must be done according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.
Duan Zhengming is not to say that he is the honor of a country, just in terms of his prestige and status in the martial arts. It is also a master master who is admired by everyone, and when the heroes heard it, they all stood up immediately. Only the South China Sea Crocodile God was still sitting with a big thorn, and said: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be the emperor Lao'er, hello!" ”
"Apprentice, you're also here, why don't you come to see Master?" Ling Muyun smiled slightly.
When the South China Sea Crocodile God saw Ling Muyun, his expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed: "You...... You ......"
I didn't know what to say for a while, but the word "Master" was stuck in my throat and couldn't say anything. After all, there are so many people in the hall watching, if he bows down and kowtows, where will he put the face of the South China Sea Crocodile God?
Ling Muyun's face sank when he saw this, and said, "What, Yue Laosan, do you want to be disobedient and unfilial and disobey the master?" ”
"When did I say I didn't recognize Master?" The South Sea Crocodile God retorted.
Ling Muyun said: "Then when you saw that the master was coming, why didn't you kowtow and say goodbye?" Is this still the rule? Or is it the rule of the Nanhai faction that apprentices don't have to kowtow when they see their master, and they don't have to listen to their master? ”
"The rules of the Nanhai faction have always been that apprentices must listen to the master, and they have to kowtow when they see the master! Don't you just want me to kowtow, I'll just kowtow. The South China Sea Crocodile God immediately held back his anger and stepped forward, knelt down and bowed his head and said, "Disciple to meet Master, Master, your old man is good!" ”
The people in the hall couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene, most of them had heard of the name of the South China Sea Crocodile God, and some of them had also seen him make a move, knowing that the South China Sea Crocodile God was strong in martial arts and vicious, and he was a veritable fierce god.
Now seeing that he actually recognized Ling Muyun, a young and tender son, as a teacher, and kowtowed to meet him, he was all shocked, and couldn't help but ask each other about Ling Muyun's origin, wanting to know where Ling Muyun was sacred, and how could he make the South China Sea Crocodile God willing to worship him as a teacher?
No one thinks that Ling Muyun is the mentor of the South China Sea Crocodile God, looking at Ling Muyun's appearance, whether he is twenty years old is in the two words, and the South China Sea Crocodile God has been famous for more than ten years, is it possible that Ling Muyun began to teach the South China Sea Crocodile God martial arts as soon as he was born, and then taught the South China Sea Crocodile God to become a teacher in three or four years? A fool would believe it!
Seeing this scene, Ling Muyun couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. In fact, he is not a person who likes to show off, and he doesn't think that it is a glorious thing to have such an apprentice as the South China Sea Crocodile God, and the reason why he is so high-profile is actually mainly to complete the tasks promulgated by the system.
The task of "fame in the rivers and lakes" promulgated by the system this time is to ask Ling Muyun to make a loud name in the Tianlong world, so that most people in the rivers and lakes know that he is such a number one person. And with Ling Muyun's martial arts and methods, once his skills are exhausted, even if his strength is not the top in the Tianlong world, there is no problem at all to become a first-class in the rivers and lakes, and it is too easy to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes.
However, fame is easier said than done, but it is not so simple to do. In addition to the need to really have something extraordinary, there must also be a platform to show yourself, otherwise you will hide in the ravine and live in seclusion for a lifetime, even if you have a divine skill that penetrates the heavens and the earth, who knows?
If you want to become famous, in addition to having real ability, you also need to have a suitable platform, if the platform is appropriate, it is not vain to become famous, but if you can't find a suitable platform, it will be much more troublesome to become famous. Now, in order to humiliate the Duan family, Zhong Wanqiu and others specially invited colleagues from the rivers and lakes to set up such a scene. Isn't this a ready-made platform for fame?
However, Ling Muyun also knew that if it was according to the original historical process, the Duan family basically rescued Duan Yu without much action this time, and he would probably come with soy sauce this time, and there would be no chance to show himself.
But he was not satisfied with this, the four villains and Zhong Wanqiu finally built such a good platform for him, how could he easily miss it? If you don't have a chance, you can create a chance, so he had to show his existence by stepping on the face of the South China Sea crocodile god. As for whether the little heart of the South China Sea Crocodile God would be injured because of this, Ling Muyun couldn't care so much.
The South China Sea Crocodile God kowtowed, only to feel that everyone in the hall was looking at him with surprised eyes. And I always feel that there is sarcasm and ridicule in these eyes. It seemed that everyone was laughing at him, but he felt that the blood in his chest was boiling, and a wave of anger rushed to his head, and he jumped up and shouted angrily to the group in the hall: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen your Lao Tzu worship your master? ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he counted himself as someone else's Lao Tzu. Pingbai also let Ling Muyun grow up for two generations. Ling Muyun shook his head in his heart and laughed secretly.
It's just that the people invited to come here today are also famous heroes in the Dali martial arts. How can we endure his unprovoked humiliation? Suddenly, everyone's faces were angry, and one of them immediately stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at the South China Sea Crocodile God and scolded: "Yue Laosan." You'd better clean up your fucking stinky mouth, this is Dali, not your ......"
"You turtle grandson dare to scold Lao Tzu? Look for death! Before the man could finish speaking, the South Sea Crocodile God roared and pounced on the man.
The man didn't expect the South China Sea Crocodile God to say that he would fight, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly retreated and took a step, and at the same time reached out to pull out the long knife he was wearing at his waist, and the retreat and dodge and drew the knife to meet the enemy almost at the same time.
It is said that this person's response is quite fast, but it's a pity that he ran into the South China Sea crocodile god. As soon as his body moved, the figure of the South China Sea crocodile god also shook, and it was slightly halfway through, and a gust of wind jumped in front of the man, and two chicken claw-like palms poked out like lightning, one grabbed his chest, the other held his head, and twisted his hands with a wrong force, and the "Gaba" suddenly twisted the man's head to the back, and fell to the ground with a "plop" sound, and the long knife on his waist had just been pulled out a small half.
"Shhhh
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect the South China Sea crocodile god to be so vicious, he said he would do it, and if he said he would kill someone, he would kill people, and he didn't even leave anyone time for psychological preparation.
And the dead person also knew the group of heroes present, but he was a well-known lone swordsman in the Dali martial arts, and a quick knife was a must, and he couldn't imagine that he lost his life without even pulling out the knife under the hands of the South China Sea Crocodile God! The group of heroes couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and the martial arts masters who were about to stand up and scold the South China Sea Crocodile God lost the courage to stand up for a while, and sat back on the chair, pretending to be adjusting their sitting posture, for fear that they would accidentally follow in the footsteps of the lone swordsman.
Ling Muyun suddenly said: "Yue Laosan, Master, I am still here, is there room for you to be fierce and baring your teeth?" Get back to your seat! ”
The South China Sea Crocodile God looked at Ling Muyun angrily: "You ......"
Ling Muyun glared: "What are you?" Do you want to disobey your teacher's orders? Sit back for me! ”
Seeing that Ling Muyun dared to reprimand the South China Sea Crocodile God so unceremoniously, the group in the hall couldn't help but sweat for him in their hearts, for fear that the South China Sea Crocodile God would be offended for a while, so they would do something to him.
Although the South China Sea Crocodile God calls him Master, but looking at his white and pure skin and tender flesh, how can he not look like the opponent of the murderer of the South China Sea Crocodile God, if he really makes a move, I am afraid that he will have to face down with his chest and head up like the previous swordsman, right?
However, what made everyone dumbfounded was that the South China Sea Crocodile God glared at Ling Muyun angrily for a long time with a pair of bean eyes, and gasped for a few breaths, and actually turned around and walked two steps back to his chair, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm tired and want to sit down and rest for a while, but I don't listen to you." ”
Qunhao couldn't help but fall down, aren't you all obviously obedient, and you still don't admit it, you really think everyone is a fool!
But at the same time, Qunhao was also amazed in his heart, I don't know what kind of great ability this Ling Muyun has, how can he make this fierce as a tiger and vicious as a ghost South China Sea crocodile god obedient?
Only a few people such as the Duan family and his entourage know that the reason why the South China Sea Crocodile God is so afraid of Ling Muyun is really not without reason, he has suffered in the hands of Ling Muyun not once or twice, and he was forced to worship his teacher, and it is understandable to be afraid of Ling Muyun.
At this time, Zhong Wanqiu stood up and glared at the South China Sea Crocodile God fiercely, most of the heroes in this hall are Dali martial arts figures, they were all invited by him, and the South China Sea Crocodile God killed people in front of him, he really didn't give him face, it was strange that he could be angry.
It's just that considering that it is important to deal with the Duan family now, and their "Four Evils in the World" helpers are indispensable to cheer them on, and it is not the time to turn their faces, so they reluctantly suppressed their anger and ordered someone to come in and carry out the dead body of the lone swordsman in the hall, so that they could be placed alive.
Only then did he take a step forward, arched his hand towards Emperor Baoding, and said with a smile: "Master Duan is coming to the valley, Zhong Wanqiu has not been able to meet him from afar, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
Duan Zhengming saw that he treated him politely, not like the fierce and angry appearance before, he didn't know what the hell the other party was playing, but he still maintained a polite demeanor on his face, and said with a polite smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" (To be continued......)
