There are a number of cultivators in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm of the Great Qi Dynasty, and they can count them one by one with their fingers.

In the entire Bianliang Mansion in Tokyo, there are only two late stages of the Yuan Shen Realm, one literary and one martial, sitting in the center.

Now, in this small Xinghua Village, Li Yan has seen two such strong people, and the other party is obviously an enemy, how can Li Yan not despair?

At this moment, Li Yan's mind was full of thoughts, all the emperor had gone too far with the right to take over the family, and after all, it caused the dissatisfaction and resistance of the family!

The family is not good at tossing too much in Yanping City, so they have set their sights on Bianliang, Tokyo, which is not the most deadly, which is not the most deadly, which can have a huge impact and give the emperor a clear and tough attitude, while retaining room for maneuver.

And he and Cai Guan are destined to become victims of the power struggle in the upper echelons of the imperial dynasty.

In recent years, Li Yan has been in Bianliang Mansion, and even in the entire Central Plains, he can be called an existence that can call the wind and rain and do whatever he wants, at least one of these existences, and he cannot but be said to be very majestic. With a casual stomp of his foot, hundreds of displaced people had to move their heads, and thousands of people had to be displaced.

But as far as the top power of the whole country is concerned, he is just like Zhang Jing, just an ant.

Now, it's time for him to be tricked by fate.

As long as it does not become the top existence in the world, individuals will have an irreversible fate. Only the few extraordinary beings in the clouds can truly control their own destiny without being controlled by others.

From ancient times to the present, it has never been the gods who really have a real influence on the fate of people, but the son of heaven who can ambush millions of corpses with one anger, and the minister who can influence the rise and fall with one strategy.

The root of destiny is strength and power.

At this moment, Li Yan didn't dare to move.

"Lord Li, what's wrong with you, Zhang hasn't made a move yet, why did you start shaking? This is not in line with Lord Li's usual demeanor of being high above and looking down on all beings. ”

Hearing Zhang Jing's mocking and confident voice, Li Yan turned his head stiffly, and saw Zhang Jing walking towards him step by step with a blood-dripping axe, only to feel that the blood all over his body seemed to stop flowing.

Zhang ...... Zhang Da is in charge, he has something to say, and he works slowly. Li Yan swallowed with difficulty.

In this situation, Zhang Jing is no longer a country ant in his eyes, he can let him handle it at will, and after the other party leans on the real towering tree, his figure becomes very majestic, and it is so great that it is enough to decide his life and death.

Right now, he's the grasshopper at the giant's feet.

"When you were harming the people, persecuting Zhang, and killing my siblings, did you ever slow down?!"

Li Yan didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he spoke, Zhang Jing was furious, rushed forward in two steps, and the tomahawk swung fiercely and smashed heavily on Li Yan's head.

Rao is the true qi protector in the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and Li Yan was also bleeding from this heavy blow, and he immediately couldn't help but howl miserably, his body fell over, and he fell to the ground.

Zhang Jing didn't feel satisfied at all, he lifted the tomahawk and slashed at Li Yan, using all his strength with every blow. Li Yan's pig-like screams came and went, endlessly, and as the blood on his body splashed, the bones all over his body were broken one after another.

Later, Li Yan could only reluctantly curl up into a ball, trying to protect the vital points.

But Rao is like this, the pool of blood under him is also accumulating, and his voice is inevitably getting weaker and weaker.

When there was almost no good skin on the whole body, and the flesh and blood of the limbs were rolled up, revealing the white bones of Sensen, he was finally going to die.

This is also Zhang Jing's low realm, especially the grade of the rune soldiers in his hands is really unbearable, otherwise Li Yan would have died a long time ago. The reason why Li Yan was not cut into pulp was also because as an official, compared to Zhang Jing, he was very rich, and he had a top-grade inner armor protection that was much stronger than the quality of a battle axe, otherwise he would not be able to last so long just by protecting his body's true qi.

During the whole process, Li Yan didn't even resist.

The other four early stage officials of the Yuan Shen Realm around them were all cold when they looked at this scene, they didn't necessarily want to save Li Yan, but they couldn't help but tremble their hands when they thought of their fate.

But there were two Yuan Shen Realm late stage present, and there were several Yuan Shen Realm mid-stage cultivator qi in the dark, and they were just like Li Yan, they didn't dare to resist at all.

"Zhang Daxia...... Zhang Yingying, Li is also involuntarily, as long as you don't kill me, everything can be discussed...... If you have any requests, just ask!" Li Yan, who was like a maggot, pleaded weakly. Zhang Jing, who had enough of the evil spirit, was refreshed, smiled sneeringly when he heard the words, and said very irresponsibly: "It's useless for Master Li to beg me for mercy. ”

He pointed to the boat parked by the river, and clenched his fists to show respect, "The big man who really controls your destiny and determines your life and death, honor and disgrace, is on that boat." It's just that whether the noble person wants to see you or not is not something you and I can calculate. ”

Li Yan perked up and hurriedly turned his head to look at the river.

Elsewhere, in the dark night, there was indeed the outline of a ship.

In Li Yan's hazy and blurred vision, the building ship that was not too big was like a towering beast, strong and secretive, unpredictable, unpredictable, and unsightly.

......

In the brightly lit hall, Zhao Ning sat leisurely on the main seat.

Huang Yuandai said in the position of the lower head: "A mere Li Yan, although his official position is not low, it is not worth mentioning in front of Brother Ning. It is not difficult to kill him, but if he can make the best use of his resources and help Ning Ge'er realize the layout in Bianliang City, it is okay to let him live for a few more days for the time being. ”

When Zhao Ning came to Bianliang City, he naturally had his goals.

With the deepening of the process of the emperor's strengthening of centralized power and strengthening the imperial power, the Bianliang Mansion in Tokyo, which is not the traditional foundation of the family and is also the focus of the emperor, has become increasingly large, and has now stabilized the family officials.

There is no separation between power and money, and since the officials of the poor family have more power here, the various industries of the family are naturally in a bad situation.

The Zhao family is not a family known for its rich wealth, and the industry is not all over the dynasty, and there are only a few core areas, except for Jinyang, where the foundation is located, near Yanping City, the center of the dynasty, and the other two important areas are Bianliang and Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is where the foundation of the Yang family is located, and the Zhao family's industry will naturally be taken care of very well, so the problem of Bianliang City is the biggest at the moment, and it needs to be solved urgently.

As the first family of the dynasty, the Zhao family was originally a rafter, and now the emperor no longer has reservations about the Zhao family, and the officials of the Hanmen of Bianliang Mansion have taken the Zhao industry in order to squeeze the overall interests of the family here.

In addition, the Zhao family has no wings in the Bianliang officialdom and army, which makes the Bianliang Mansion more and more unscrupulous when it comes to the Zhao family. Today, Zhao's various industries in Bianliang City have fallen into a business crisis and are difficult to maintain.

Zhao Ning intervened in Caoyun to establish the Changhe Boat Company in order to increase wealth and strengthen the strength of the Zhao family, but if the original industry of the Zhao family could not be preserved, and the income would be greatly affected, the wealth brought by Caoyun could only fill the hole and could not play its due role.

When Zhao Ning came to Bianliang, the first task was to help the family industry get out of the predicament and let the family industry develop.

Unlike the newly built Changhe Boat Company on the road to wealth, Zhao's industry has a foundation in Bianliang, as long as the recent obstacles are solved, it will not be difficult to develop, and the short-term momentum is stronger than that of the Changhe River Boat.

Because of this, Zhao Ning agreed with Huang Yuandai's suggestion, nodded slightly, and said, "Let Zhang Jing come in." ”

.......

After taking the portable pill, Li Yan, who could barely breathe a sigh of relief and could walk on his own, dragged his scarred body behind Zhang Jing and came to the dock nervously.

They didn't get permission to board the ship, they could only wait on the shore, Li Yan trembled, the more he waited, the more uneasy he became, in the end, he really couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure, and begged Zhang Jing with a smile on his face: "Zhang Da is in charge, we have some friendship, can you give the noble man a talk, give Li a chance to speak?"

He was afraid that he would be killed directly.

Cai Guan died in front of him.

Zhang Jingqi glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Don't be close to me, what kind of friendship do I have with you, there is only hatred between us! As for whether the noble man gives you a chance to speak, I can't do anything, and I am not sure if the noble person sees me." ”

Li Yan was surprised: "Hasn't Zhang Da Boss become a nobleman's minions?"

Zhang Jing laughed: "The noble person is a real existence on the cloud, how can Zhang be a nobleman, can he become a nobleman?"

Hearing this, Li Yan's heart was even more shocked, Zhang Jingjing, who had more than 10,000 subordinates, couldn't get into the right way, so the height of this noble man was really terrifying.

If the other party is from a family, he is by no means an ordinary family figure, if the other party is a member of the imperial court, then he must be a celebrity in front of the emperor, with a high position.

"Could it be that the head of the family is here, or is it a prominent existence like the Six Books of Shangshu?" Li Yan couldn't help but guess.

"Zhang Da is in charge, Gongzi will pass you in. A voice rang out from the boat.

Zhang Jing's face was overjoyed, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, coughed, and strode onto the springboard under Li Yan's envious and nervous gaze.

"Childe...... It turned out to be the son of a family? Not the head of a family? Not even an elder?" Seeing that Zhang Jing got on the boat, Li Yan came back to his senses.

Realizing this, his confusion became even thicker, which family's son was so pompous, so bold, and didn't even care about his and Cai Guan's lives?

Zhang Jing entered the cabin, saw Zhao Ning behind the main seat, and bowed: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness, Zhang has nothing to repay, as long as Gongzi is driven in the future, Zhang will go to the soup and go to the fire!"

He said it sincerely.

Before meeting Zhao Ning, he was the leader of the River Gang who was forced by the government to be unbearable and could only fight regardless of the consequences.

Even if his action is successful, at most he will be able to raid the prefecture and county, and eventually he will inevitably become a lost dog under the blow of the imperial power, and Cai Guan and Li Yan, the enemies who have made him suffer and killed countless of his siblings, he still has no strength to directly retaliate by crossing the army, and the other party will not suffer fatal injuries because of him at all.

In that case, even if he went to Onozawa and went to Liangshan, he would be forced to be helpless with the worst choice, and he would be full of grief and anger with nowhere to vent.

Now it's different, because he saw Zhao Ning, with the help of the other party, he stabbed Cai Guan, the enemy who killed hundreds of his brothers every year, and beat Li Yan, who had been arrogant to him for many years, looking for teeth all over the ground, but the other party didn't dare to be angry with him, so he could only flatter and flatter him in a low voice, begging him to say good things in front of Zhao Ning.

The reversal of this relationship and the subversion of status made Zhang Jing very happy!

Most of the resentment and anger accumulated before were swept away, and now he only feels open-minded, and he feels much more open when he sees the world and the world. The husband's happy and vengeful spirit made Zhang Jing obsessed, and he just felt that a good man should be like this! To have such an experience in this life is to live up to his seven-foot body and good head after all!

Therefore, for Zhang Jing, Zhao Ning was his god and completely changed his fate.

At the same time, Zhao Ning is also his confidant. can be an enemy of Bianliang Mansion for him, at the risk of being held accountable by the imperial court, but also let him relieve the depression in his chest, this is not a confidant, what is a confidant?

The so-called "death for a confidant", even if Zhao Ning asked him to go to the government to confess his guilt and take the responsibility of killing Cai Guan, Zhang Jingjing would not frown.

Zhao Ning waved his hand, "There's no need to go to the soup and fire." Bianliang Mansion does not remember your credit for collecting the displaced people and feeding more than 10,000 people, this is their tyrannical and unreasonable; since I have met you, then I will give you the treatment you deserve now.

"From now on, I will be responsible for your survival.

"As a condition, you must not raid the village again. A benevolent family like the Xue family should not suffer a catastrophe, and you will have to come to apologize later. As for the Xue family's losses, I will help you compensate for them. ”

Zhang Jing's heart was surging, and he bowed down again, and his voice was a little out of tune, "Thank you Gongzi! It's just that the Xue family is attacking, how can Gongzi help compensate?"

Zhao Ning smiled, "The loss of a large rural household, no matter how much it is for me, it is just a drop in the bucket, your money and grain should be left for the homeless people under your command as rations." ”

Zhang Jing fell to the ground and said with a choked voice: "The son treats Zhang so kindly, how can Zhang reciprocate?"

"It is not you who I have shown kindness to, but you and the great crowd of outcasts under you. ”

Zhao Ning shook his head and corrected Zhang's words, and then his voice was solemn, "There is justice in this world, if you can't see it, then I will show you."

"Although there is a lot of darkness in the Great Qi Dynasty, there is always a group of people who are fighting for their families, countries and communities. To me, it's a duty determined by your position, and to you, it's the moral light in your heart.

"The superior is not willing to give up his mission, and ordinary people do not abandon the righteousness of their family and country, so that the country can overcome all difficulties without fear of any challenges!"

Zhang Jing involuntarily looked up at Zhao Ning.

At this moment, he looked at Zhao Ning's gaze as if he was looking at a benevolent, righteous and just emperor.

He quickly bowed his head again, but this time his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Zhang is willing to follow Gongzi." Before and after the saddle, let the horse be driven, although nine deaths, I still don't regret it!"
