"Shizi, the cheats you want have been brought back safely."

A wealthy merchant is holding a sealed box. Carefully handed it to a teenager.

With a slight tremor in his hands, he took the box and carefully opened the seal. A quaint book appeared in front of the teenager. After carefully turning through the two pages, he said, "All the people who have read this book have cleaned it up." ”

"Yu Shizi, everyone who has read this book has cleaned up." The merchant bowed

"Okay, I'll rest assured that the second brother will do something. The second brother worked hard to come back day and night. You go down to rest first, and then pick up the wind and wash the dust for the second brother tomorrow. ”

Chen Ao finally got the book in his hands and couldn't wait to see it in detail. He opened his mouth and sent the merchant away.

As soon as the merchant took his leave, the boy looked through the books word by word, but the second book was written in Tibetan, although he had studied Tibetan in the previous world. But you also need to translate it word by word. to understand. It took a long time to finish the book. After closing slowly. He sighed: "I know that it is not so simple to practice peerless martial arts."

It turns out that before practicing this dragon elephant prajna gong, you need to practice the inner strength of Buddhism first. According to the book, you only need ordinary Buddhism. But this ordinary is according to the standards of the Song Dynasty! No matter how ordinary the internal skills of the Song Dynasty are, they are all top-level exercises in the world of Lu Ding Ji. And the internal force is not without requirements, there must be an internal force of about a year. In the Luding world, it takes at least about five years of internal cultivation. This is still the internal strength of the mind, which cannot be too bad. If it is almost internal strength, it is estimated that it will take ten years before there is hope.

Chen Ao thought for a while, and said to the empty room: "Shunzi, inform Qi Feng and let him come back as soon as possible." ”

A crisp and cold female voice sounded in the empty room: "My subordinates will do it." ”

、

In the silent room again, Chen Ao once again flipped through the cheats. I picked up the pen again and translated it slowly and slowly, word by word. Transcribed it. If you have the slightest doubt, look up the scriptures. It took four or five days to transcribe it. It took another ten days to memorize the content repeatedly. Then a fire burned both books. During this period, Qi Feng, the leader of his "dark guards", had just returned from Guangdong. was sent by him to the Shaolin Temple.

Half a year later, Qi Feng returned with a serious injury, and most of the Shadow Kill Team he brought with him was lost. only brought back a copy of the Arhat Heart Sutra to Chen Ao. Although it is not the top in the world of Luding, it is not a big road goods.

After this day, Chen Ao began to concentrate on practicing the Buddhist mind. The affairs in hand have also begun to slow down, and they are no longer as urgent as before. It's just that the manpower has been arranged, and he is in charge of the overall situation. The rest is the details. After all, as long as he learns the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, he can return at any time. Don't worry about his cheap Lao Tzu made anymore. Anti-failure. Himself was beheaded.

In this way, time passed minute by minute in Chen Ao's cultivation of internal strength. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Wu Sangui used the excuse of being ill and sent people to spend money to buy Tongaobai. let Chen Ao return to Yunnan, but Chen Ao went back. But all the strongholds were left behind.

When he returned to Yunnan, Chen Ao continued to practice again, and it was two years later. Luohan's internal skills were finally practiced by him, and he met the minimum requirements for learning the dragon elephant prajna skill. But if he hadn't crossed over, he would have started to practice Tai Chi. The body is more robust than the average adult. The meridians in the body are also wider than those of ordinary people. It is also impossible to cultivate in just four years. As soon as the internal strength was completed, Chen Ao immediately began to transfer to this world-famous school. And time also slowly passed with Chen Ao's secret cultivation.....................

――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the outskirts of the capital. Dozens of carriages lined the line, but there were not too many guards and generals. However, the fact that there are not many troops does not mean that the combat effectiveness is not strong. I saw a group of soldiers lined up, looking tired. But in the process, it was ordered and forbidden, and it was orderly.

Just when the team marched to a hillside and could reach the capital for more than a dozen miles, there were a few "boom" sounds. Dozens of stones fell from the mountain. More than a dozen people immediately ran out of the team, slashing at the falling stones. Forced to stop.

"What's going on?"

Chen Ao rode a pure black horse of a divine horse and rushed to the place where the rocks fell. Asked a leading guard.

"Yushizi, it may have rained yesterday. Today our carriage passed by, and it was too loud. Causing rocks to fall off the mountain. But it's under control."

The leader was the guard, and he replied.

"Well, Brother Yang has worked hard. Brothers, aren't you hurt? ”

Chen Ao didn't ask if the items were damaged, but just asked them if they were okay. It can be seen that in recent years, there has been a lot of buying people's hearts.

"Xie Shizi cares, and the brothers are all fine. It's just a little scrape. ”

Hearing Chen Ao's words, this Brother Yang sighed in his heart, and he really didn't follow the wrong person. Such a person deserves to be entrusted with his life. A few guards next to him were also moved.

"It's okay, there's still a dozen miles to go. Brothers, work harder. Wait until you get to the capital and then have a good rest. ”

Chen Ao said a few words of appeasement to these dozen or so masters of the Golden Dome Gate who had only been recruited in the past few years. The team is moving again

In the mansion, Chen Ao was standing next to a middle-aged man and saying something. The middle-aged man sat on the Taishi's chair with a golden sword. He was wearing a guard's costume.

"Father, this time Kangxi summoned you to the capital, probably to test our reality. Since you told Kangxi that you were sick, why did you come here again in person. ”

Dare to sit on the Taishi chair in front of Chen Ao, who else can there be except Wu Sangui. I saw Wu Sangui's solemn face:

"Ying Xiong, I know you're doing things safely. But I don't come and see this in person. I'm not at ease. Now that I have been sick, I will not come. Kangxi will definitely let his guard down. It just so happens that I can test his bottom line. ”

"Father, it's better not to underestimate this Kangxi too much, this person may be more difficult to deal with than you think. But we don't have to worry too much. After all, we were ready for it. New firearms and new methods of warfare have matured. I believe that as long as it is launched. Within two years, the Qing army will definitely be swept away. ”

Chen Ao replied confidently.

"After all, I have not experienced actual combat, and the new firearms and tactics can only be used in training to fight ten. It's better to be careful. ”

After all, Wu Sangui was an old-fashioned soldier, and he was still skeptical of the new way of warfare.

"Father doesn't have to worry too much, even if firearms can't win. Our army of 300,000 is not vegetarian either. The world thinks that I only have 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yunnan. But I didn't know that we had 200,000 in hiding. And there are more soldiers who have been rotated in the past ten years. If the army is raised, in a short time, another 200,000 soldiers and horses can be raised. ”

Chen Ao helped Wu Sangui calculate an account carefully.

Hearing the number of these traditional soldiers and horses, Wu Sangui showed a smiling face: "Yes, with these heroic soldiers, it is indeed easy to sweep away those officers and soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who have long been **. But this is thanks to your plan a few years ago, otherwise, the people of Yunnan and Guizhou would not have died for my father and son. ”

"That is also the proper administration of the father, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It also allowed the people of several nearby provinces to move their families to my Yungui after hearing the news. Let's fill in a little bit more. ”

Chen Ao hurriedly patted his ass, and the two praised each other for a while. If it weren't for the fact that he would go into the palace tomorrow to meet Kangxi. may shamelessly boast to each other until dawn.

In the Jinluan Palace, a young man was facing him, and three young people and two elders sitting on chairs said: "In recent years, the Yellow River has often flooded. And the taxes collected by the imperial court in a year are only barely enough. The people are often afflicted by disasters, and it really worries me! Not only the three of them, can they teach me? ”

Chen Ao, who was sitting in the first place on the side, immediately got up and saluted: "Since the treasury is not abundant, the emperor wants to control the floods of the Yellow River. It's better for the emperor to pay a little more taxes. to increase the treasury. ”

The two old men who were sitting under Chen Ao also quickly got up and agreed to Chen Ao's proposal together.

The young man was Emperor Kangxi, and he saw his face worried. After walking back and forth a few times, it seemed that he had a good idea: "This attention suddenly sounded, and it seemed feasible." However, a rash increase in taxes is not an additional burden on the people. Let the people suffer more than ever. But I just thought of a note, and it's not feasible for everyone to listen to it; That is, if the military salary is reduced three times, the imperial court can provide an extra amount of money to help the victims. What do you think? ”

Kangxi paused for a moment, seeing that no one answered the question. pointed the finger at Chen Ao: "I don't know, what the prince thinks of this proposal." ”

Chen Ao hurriedly bowed his hand, lowered his head, and shirked: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only going to Beijing on behalf of his father, and the stakes are very high. Wechen is not just an assertion. Wait for Weichen to ask his father and then reply to the emperor. I believe that I will give the emperor a satisfactory answer. However, his father's eye disease has become more and more serious in the past two years, and before he came, he ordered Weichen to resign from the emperor and allow him to return to his hometown. Return to Liaodong to enjoy 10,000 years. ”

The two old men next to him, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, also followed Chen Ao's steps, and stepped forward one by one to ask Kangxi for resignation and retirement.

When Kangxi heard this, he pretended to be angry. One by one, they rejected their resignations. After reassuring the three of them, they were allowed to go down to rest.

And Chen Ao, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi did not get together. As soon as they left the palace, they went back to their homes. Chen Ao also took the guards around him and went back to tell Wu Sangui what he saw and heard in the court...
