Chapter 10: Wu Zong
As a martial artist, Wang Yifan's lifelong pursuit is to achieve martial arts. It can be said that the lifelong pursuit of every martial artist is to achieve martial arts. But how many can succeed?
In this world, Confucian scholars carry out imperial examinations, and hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars can still produce a champion every three years. However, how many warriors are there in the world? This number is only more than that of the Confucian scholars, not less than the Confucian scholars. How many troops are there in the Great Zhou alone? Of these millions of martial artists, how many martial arts sects are there? In the whole Great Week, there are no more than ten. According to Wang Yifan's news, in the entire Great Zhou now, there are only about seven Wuzong. Of these seven, two of them are old martial arts sects, such as the old ancestor of the Yun family in Ba Province. Traveling all over the world all year round, I don't know if I'm alive or dead.
There are only so many martial sects in Great Zhou, so there are many Great Merchants, Great Xia and Great Yu? Not much. Wang Yifan also came out of the border back then. So, for these situations are also known. The big business, the big business, the people of Dayu are strong, there are many fewer scholars, and the power of Confucianism is basically non-existent. However, people who practice martial arts abound. Rao is so, the number of martial sects, these three countries, each country does not have twenty martial sects.
Besides, who is Wu Zong? That is a person who has stepped into the Heavenly Dao in half a step, as a martial artist, all of them are arrogant, and their power, money, and status have not been able to impress them. Most of them are like the old ancestor of the Yun family, constantly pursuing progress and the way of heaven. Can you obey the orders of the witch gate or the imperial court?
How many obedient martial arts sects can the Wumen control? Although Wang Yifan has not studied it, he thinks, there should be no more than ten. These ten still have to sit in the headquarters of Wumen, just like the Wuzong is also enshrined in the Star Picking Tower, and the Wuzong is also enshrined in the Great Zhou royal family, but such a power is to sit in the base camp, how can it be taken out to fight, or even to assassinate?
Now, Hu Deyan actually told himself that the people of the Wumen wanted to assassinate Qin Mingyue, and even sent out Wuzong to assassinate him. How can this not surprise Wang Yifan?
Hu Deyan said: "This is just my speculation. Anyway? This time, something big is probably going to happen in the mountain. It is very likely that Qin Mingyue will die there. So, let's hold our ground for now. Waiting for Qin Mingyue to fight with the people of Wumen. If the people of Wumen kill Qin Mingyue. Naturally, we are Confucians, and we are good for His Royal Highness the Prince. The two of us just need to pursue the remaining strength of the witch gate, and if we don't do it well, not only will we have no fault, but we can also get a credit. ”
"If Qin Mingyue wins. Then the people around her must have been seriously injured. In this way, she doesn't have many arms left. Let's treat her well in Yilan City. Let her know that Lake Province is our territory, and we have the final say. Although she is a strong dragon, she can't suppress the ground snake. We're going to give her a good look. ”
Wang Yifan then remembered that Hu Deyan had also prepared a big dish for Qin Mingyue, which was in Yilan City. Wang Yifan's mood settled.
Well, such a conspiracy calculation, a struggle for power, he is not as good as Hu Deyan. Just listen to Hu Deyan.
Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Master Hu, I have already asked someone to find out what you said before. When the time comes, it will definitely be enough to give Qin Mingyue a good-looking one. Let's see what other faces she has to say that others are not. So how is my one this year? ”
Hu Deyan laughed, this smile was not so gloomy, he said: "There are 100,000 taels of silver here, which is the money that the two of us should get this year, and the two of us will divide it equally." As you know, this year, Hu Province, as one of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, is also a province that has suffered from disasters, and money and food have been affected in all aspects. So, this money is also a lot less. Of course, what we got was only a small head, and the big head was a total of 300,000 taels, and I had already asked someone to escort it to the capital to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely write down a credit for the two of us when he receives this money. ”
Wang Yifan took 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and he was not as excited as he was when he first took up his post in Hu Province. He knew that Hu Deyan was talking about 100,000 taels of silver, and the two of them would divide it equally. Demons will believe. The real income, Hu Deyan must have not only taken 100,000 taels of silver, but now, Wang Yifan is not a fool who just came to Hu Province and didn't know anything. He also has some secret manpower and knows some things, according to his calculations, Hu Deyan has received at least twenty or thirty taels of silver in the past six months. This is after excluding the 300,000 taels of silver contributed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However, Wang Yifan did not dislike the lack of 50,000 taels of silver. After all, these are all obtained by Hu Deyan himself, and it is normal for him to get more. Wang Yifan was able to divide 50,000 taels of silver, and it was only half a year, which is not bad. Wang Yifan himself can get some more silver in the annual food and military expenses allocated by various guards and the imperial court, which is unique to Wang Yifan.
Therefore, Wang Yifan had no objection to the 50,000 taels of silver. He was very happy about the 300,000 taels of silver that he had contributed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past six months, and Hu Deyan said his name. Being able to sell well in front of the prince is the biggest thing. Wang Yifan happily thanked Hu Deyan, and then took his leave.
After Wang Yifan left, Hu Deyan finally showed a disdainful expression: "What a vulgar martial artist." Hmph, if it weren't for the big plan, how could I let you? ”
Then Hu Deyan called his henchmen: "How is the matter I told you to do?" Is everything laid out in Yilan City? Have the Confucian scholars rushed over there? ”
The attendant hurriedly replied: "Everything is ready, the Confucian students have been gathering in Yilan City for the past few days. In three days, it's almost all there. Of course, this is only a small part of the Confucian students in Lake Province. ”
Hu Deyan said: "It is impossible for all Confucian scholars to obey our orders, just a small number of them. Okay, you personally arrange this matter, give you 20,000 taels of silver, personally arrange the food and accommodation of these people, don't make any trouble, everything is based on the overall situation. By the way, this 20,000 taels of silver, you took my post and went to Master Xu in the east of the city to ask for it. Master Xu is a big grain merchant in our Lake Province, and this time he made a fortune under our protection. Although during this period of time, 200,000 taels of silver of the 300,000 taels we handed over were taken out by him, but I still think it is too little. You go and ask for another 20,000 taels. ”
The attendant hurriedly retreated.
Hu Deyan had a sneer on his face: "Qin Mingyue, I hope you can come back to life from the hands of Wumen." Hmph, three martial arts sects are enough to assassinate the emperor. ”
