Chapter 4: Immortality

Greed for life and fear of death is a normal reaction of people, so Zhang Xiaofan expressed his understanding that the navy was afraid of the emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After entering the officialdom, system, and military camps, whether it is a civil servant, a general, an official, or a soldier, he has the ability to flatter and bully his subordinates. Those who do not have this ability, unless they have a deep background or extraordinary ability, they are very able to gain a foothold in officialdom, system and military camp.

After Zhang Xiaofan entered the naval camp, there was no military to come to pay respects, and even when he sent troops at night, no one followed him, and the reason was very simple. However, Zhang Xiaofan also has an identity, that is, a forward general, once he fights, he will charge into battle, and the one with the highest mortality rate.

So generally not people who are extremely confused, no one is willing to stammer and follow Zhang Xiaofan on a business trip.

These 500 sailors should be the most unpromising people, the requirement before the business trip turned out to be a full meal, Zhang Xiaofan was accustomed to their reaction when they faced the appearance of the Ao Emperor, they were all desperate people.

Zhang Xiaofan asked a few dexterous sailors to help him go to a distant place to get some clear water and come back, wash the blood on his body, and then said: "Captain Meng, the Ao Emperor has been removed, the general has completed the holy decree, and he wants to return to the palace to hand over the order, you arrange for the brothers to work hard and transport this Ao Huang back to the water village, I will report to the secretary, and the brothers who will go out of the camp today, each of them will turn their military merits." ”

Different from history, the original Tang Dynasty military system followed the Northern Wei military system during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the military merits were turned twelve times, and once the military merits were transferred, the title could be rewarded, and the lowest was from the seventh grade.

In the Tang Dynasty, because of the smoke and dust of the 36 roads, there were too many anti-kings; Military feats also come too easily; In the Zhenguan period, the title began to be drastically reduced. Military merit also began to reward money or land, and a change of military merit is the least, a soldier's military merit is ten taels of silver, and the captain, team leader, brigade commander, and captain each have more than ten taels of silver.

That is, the captain runs this trip is fifty taels of silver, but the pawns have to pay one or two percent of their own protection fees; The same is true for the captain, the captain, and the brigade commander. So in the end, the captain got about two hundred taels of silver.

Two hundred taels of silver is already a lot of silver, but this is the algorithm of killing the enemy in battle, and the victory, if it fails, this money will definitely be gone.

Zhang Xiaofan just ran away with 500 people, at most he moved the fishy fish and the flesh and blood of the Aohuang, it was just hard work, and now he can get benefits. The five hundred sailors were naturally overjoyed, and they kowtowed to thank them.

Zhang Xiaofan changed into clean clothes, returned to Shuizhai, and after checking the military merits with the secretary, he wrote a fold and went directly to Daming Palace.

Because he had already entered the barracks, although Zhang Xiaofan handed over the recital, he was not allowed to enter the city if he was innocent, and it was not until noon that the holy decree came, and the emperor summoned him and entered the palace to play the right thing.

After changing into the general's court clothes, he was already familiar with the way, and when he arrived at the Daming Palace, Li Zhi rarely had a ruddy complexion, sitting on the dragon chair, and Wu Zetian sat next to him.

Some etiquette down.

Li Zhi stood up excitedly and said happily: "Zhang Aiqing, you come with me." Say it and stand up and walk out of the hall, Wu Zetian smiled helplessly when he saw it, but he still followed behind him and walked out with Zhang Xiaofan.

"Zhang Qing, that giant beast is the Ao Huang of Dongdao, right?" Li Zhi couldn't hide his excitement, and pointed to a huge flood outside the Daming Palace and asked.

And at this moment, outside the Daming Palace, there are thousands of people who are busy coming and going, someone is directing the huge Aohuang meat pieces to be put together, in the speed that can be seen by the naked eye, a giant beast of the wilderness, dressed in scales and armor, with a hideous and terrifying face, showing on the Vermilion Bird Avenue in Luoyang City.

"Back to Your Majesty, this monster is Emperor Ao." Although Zhang Xiaofan killed Emperor Ao yesterday, he didn't look carefully at night, and he was brushed with hundreds of sword qi by himself, and the split was fragmented, but he didn't expect the emperor to put it together again, it seems that he wants to show off his national prestige.

As soon as Wu Zetian came out and saw the huge size of Emperor Ao, he finally believed that last night's report, the five hundred sailors carried it for five hours, and then transported the body of Emperor Ao, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that Zhang Qing went to the sea alone to kill demons, I don't know what kind of means?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, Weichen's cultivation has improved slightly a few days ago, and he has comprehended the family heirloom sword gang, and the sword gang is invincible. Weichen jumped into the sea, this Aohuang's body was huge, after Weichen climbed on this Aohuang, it couldn't get rid of Weichen, and Weichen slowly used his sword to grind it to death little by little. ”

Zhang Xiaofan said it simply, but Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were not satisfied, so they asked Zhang Xiaofan to demonstrate it right away.

In desperation, he flew into the school field lightly, causing everyone to exclaim on the spot, Zhang Xiaofan only used the lightest Ling Bo microstep, and only used the speed of the innate realm, but in the eyes of everyone, it seemed to be slow and fast, and his body was ethereal.

Everyone retreated, leaving Zhang Xiaofan with a large field. A light skill caused everyone to scream, thinking left and right, Zhang Xiaofan had to weaken some abilities, and practiced the thirty-six Taiji swordsmanship with the sword in his hand, which was slow and powerful, falling in the eyes of people who didn't know how to do it, although it was beautiful but not how difficult to resist, the most wonderful thing was that the Taiji swordsmanship was suitable for performance.

The thirty-six Tai Chi swordsmanship is light and soft, continuous, and the sword gang is used with the killing move, and the ground of the school field is as if it has encountered the earth dragon and turned over, waiting for the swordsmanship to be completed. Zhang Xiaofan bowed down to thank him, and Li Zhi and Wu Zetian on the stage looked at each other with eyebrows, still applauding and celebrating.

Wu Zetian asked softly: "Zhang Qing, looking at the Qing family's martial arts, I'm afraid that he has broken away from the concept of secular martial arts, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan said: "Back to Niangniang, Weichen Xiuwei just touched the edge of martial arts. ”

"The edge of martial arts? I think it's the ultimate in martial arts, "Wu Zetian is a woman who grew up in the deep palace, not the legendary Mingkong, so it's hard to understand this, but it can't stop her imagination."

Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked, "Zhang Qing, martial arts have reached the extreme, is it possible to live forever?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan replied: "Your Majesty, immortality is not available, but it can prolong life, eat rain and dew, and cultivate the valley for a long time." ”

Li Zhi asked: "How much does it cost to prolong life?" ”

"Weichen feels that he is about three hundred years old."

"Really?" When Li Zhi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, there is no one who does not like immortality as an emperor, and if he can really live to be three hundred years old, he will be like a fairy.

"Your Majesty, it is true."

Li Zhi's eyes immediately bubbled, and he asked urgently, "Then you may teach me this method?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty's cultivation time is late, maybe the cultivation time will be longer." ”

Hearing that he could cultivate, Li Zhi was already overjoyed, and Wu Zetian's eyes next to him moved, and then he covered up the past, clapped his hands and said happily: "Your Majesty can prolong your life, I don't know if this palace is honored to be able to accompany you all the time?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the martial arts that Weichen learned is [Yi Jin Washing Pulp Sutra]. When this method regulates yin and yang, it will strengthen the yang energy in the body, this method can only be practiced by men, if women practice, the muscles of the whole body will become harder, the voice will become thicker, and the bones will become larger. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he didn't like it, he snorted coldly, and said: "Hmph, I heard that Lingtang's Red Whisk Female Martial Arts are not different from Lingzun Weiguogong, what kind of exercises is she practicing?" ”

"My mother cultivates swordsmanship, and she doesn't know the way of self-cultivation, just like the swordsmanship I danced just now, the cultivation time is deep, and she can have a hundred years of life, but it is difficult to touch the extreme of martial arts."

Wu Zetian's female power is getting heavier, if he hears it again, I'm afraid he has the intention of killing, and asked again: "Then the Zhang Qing family created one for the palace by themselves, is there a problem?" ”

"Please give the minister three years, and within three years, she will definitely create a new cultivation method." Zhang Xiaofan has countless cultivation know-how, but he waits for the price to sell, otherwise, how can he complete the task.

When Wu Zetian was satisfied, Li Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed Zhang Xiaofan and wrote him a cultivation method, and Zhang Xiaofan used his true qi to guide Li Zhi to complete a big Zhou Tian on the spot.

Li Zhi immediately entered the state of cultivation, but Zhang Xiaofan could only quietly leave the palace.

Wu Zetian was sensitive, and immediately dismissed Zhang Xiaofan from the post of the forward general of the Eastern Expedition, and arranged to enter Dali Temple separately, serving as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and at the same time rewarded the title of lieutenant of the light car, and at the same time, the barony of Baoying County was promoted to the son of Baoying County, with 500 households. The bounty of silver and gold was a thousand pounds each. There are countless silk and satin, and at the same time, ten show girls in the palace are rewarded.

This time the reward is different from the last time when the conspiracy was solved, the last time it was for Li Jing's sake, so he gave such a big reward, and if he changed someone, he would be rewarded with some money at most. But this time it was because of the military merit reward, which was very ordinary compared to the last time, but it was already a rare large-scale reward in the court. Since the Zhenguan period, the reward of the title has been very rare, and Zhang Xiaofan has been rewarded with the title twice in less than ten consecutive days, so that outsiders can see, this is Jian Zai's heart.

Back to Zhang's mansion, the plaque on the gate that had just been made was about to be replaced, but the top and bottom of the mansion were not too troublesome, beating gongs and drums were lively, and the rewards in the palace had arrived.

Zhang Xiaofan is still washing, ten show girls have already arranged their own positions, although the area of this Zhang Mansion is large, but the population is very small, ten show girls come in, it accounts for two-fifths of the population, everyone is still a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning. In addition, Li Quan and the other fourteen people have been living for decades, and they are very casual when they talk about things or chat every day.

And these ten show girls have always been silent, just doing things with their heads bored, but their eyes are very sharp, which is not to be underestimated. Li Quan, the fourteen people, suddenly suppressed a lot.

Zhang Xiaofan was taking a bath, and there were women in the room, so naturally he couldn't hide it, but he had already known the identities of these women, and in addition to the identity of the show girl, I was afraid that another layer of potential identity was the royal secret agent, and he was not afraid of this one.

When the two good-looking show girls walked into the attic, they were ready, but they didn't expect it to be so direct.

When Zhang Xiaofan saw the two girls, he couldn't help but secretly praise that the products produced in the palace must be high-quality products. Delicate and round face, graceful posture, light steps, a smile is all amorous, it is even more rare to take off the palace skirt, the ice muscle and jade bones inside are really the best, I don't know how Li Zhi let go of these many superlatives, and to pamper Wu Meiniang, I really can't figure it out, could it be that Wu Meiniang is also an inner show?
