The deceased was a male, tall and slender man, who was at least two meters tall despite meditating cross-legged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info's dry and dehydrated face has long been invisible, and there are only two black holes left in the eye sockets.

Yang Tianhong stepped into the room, and the sole of his feet was a thick dead leaf. These leaves have long since lost water and dried up, becoming loose and brittle and hard, and under the crushing, they constantly make a "rustling" sound, turning into a pile of small fragments that are not connected to each other under Yang Tianhong's feet.

The surrounding walls were entwined with countless dried vines, and many of the leaves remained in place. Yang Tianhong walked over and stretched out his hand to pick up a dead leaf, but this move actually triggered a chain reaction, and all the dry vine branches on the walls of the entire room shook for a while, and all the remaining leaves fell one after another, leaving only the wall full of fine dead branches like meridians.

The deceased, dressed in a green robe, sits in the depths of the withered yellow leaves, like a permanent sculpture that will not move for 10,000 years.

In front of the withered corpse, there were three thread-bound books with blue covers. At the top of the stacked books, a pale green ring sits along.

Yang Tianhong bent down to pick up the ring and found that the ring was locked by a special exercise. What's even more amazing is that the ring is not made of the usual gold, silver or jade, but an unknown wood. Underneath the crystal clear color, neat and natural textures can be seen, and there is even a noticeable woody knot.

Three thread-bound books, namely "Grass Decision", "Ginseng Wood Dafa", and "Qingling Secret Law".

Turning over the "Qingling Secret Method" placed on the top layer, there is a line written in blood on the title page, but it has long dried up and turned into black characters.

"I'm Panmu Zhenren. If someone is destined to enter this room, please send this secret method and the Wood Spirit Ring to the Qingling Sect. I have a cave in Yangmeng Mountain, and people who are destined can lift the ban with a special mark on "Grass Decision". What is hidden in the cave is a reward. ”

This person is a monk of the Qingling Sect.

Yang Tianhong had never heard of the name of Panmu Zhenren. However, the three words "Qingling Sect" made him show a rather strange expression.

Sister Yang Qiurong has been favored by the Qingling Sect since she was a child and brought into the mountains to cultivate. But he didn't want to, he actually got three exercise cheats that obviously belonged to the Qingling Sect inside the Linglong Treasure Lock.

This lock is full of secrets.

First the Heavenly Demon King Zi Li, and then the Demon King Fear Sen Luo. The things left by the demon and the demon have not yet been understood, and now they accidentally opened a new room and saw the last words of Panmu Zhenren.

Things have to be done the same slowly.

The problem is that I am currently lacking in skills and unable to do anything!

has no foundation, no strong strength, and suddenly gets too much treasure, so you can only make wedding dresses for others in vain.

With thoughts full of regret, Yang Tianhong left the Linglong Treasure Lock.

......

Cultivators have never had the habit of sleeping.

As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Tianhong heard the old servant Yang Dashan report outside the door: "Young master, there is a young man outside the mansion who claims to be Meng Qi asking to see him. ”

Meng Qi?

Yesterday, didn't I go to a banquet at Meng's house and just came back?

Although Yang Tianhong was a little confused, he still ordered: "Take him to the living room to sit for a while, and I'll come after freshening up." ”

......

Meng Qi seems to like black clothing. However, this dress does match his thin figure. He looks shrewd, with a formulaic smile on his face at all times. When dealing with this kind of person, it is usually easy to be guided by the other party and enter a pre-set direction, but it is difficult to find out yourself. If the other party is engaged in business, the customer will unconsciously take out the gold and silver and willingly buy the other party's goods.

Seeing Yang Tianhong coming out of the inner hall, Meng Qi hurriedly put down the folding fan in his hand, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, I came to disturb you early and offended." ”

Yang Tianhong sat down on the main seat and waved his hand disappreciatively: "Brother Meng is too outward. Yesterday at the house, you and I should be called brothers. I just don't know what Brother Meng's harassment is?"

Meng Qi felt that Yang Tianhong was obviously better than himself in terms of speaking and treating others. Perhaps, this is the difference in identity. Of course, what is more important is that the other party has stood in a higher place than himself, and this gap cannot be filled by himself and his family in a short time.

Taking a deep breath and sorting out the thinking order in his mind again, Meng Qi lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Then I will be disrespectful." Dare to ask Brother Yang, is this a place where you can talk?"

Yang Tianhong picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip slowly, and said lightly: "Up and down here are my closest family members. Whatever it is, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

As the son of a nobleman, in the face of the businessman Meng Qi, there must be no less shelf. This is not deliberate, but the whole world is like this, if you are not sure of respect and inferiority, the other party will not think that you are a corporal of courtesy, but will only think that you don't even understand the most basic etiquette, let alone talk about any cooperation.

Meng Qi smiled "hehe", took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his pocket, placed them on the table, and gently pushed them in front of Yang Tianhong.

All of them are circulating silver bills that can be exchanged by any bank in the world without a certificate. The denominations are 10,000 taels. Yang Tianhong counted them, and there were fifty in total.

He put the silver ticket down again, raised his head, and looked at Meng Qi with an inquiring gaze.

Things have developed so far, and there is not much difference from Yang Tianhong's previous psychological expectations.

200,000 taels of silver is just a casual remark. The value of a Yuan Qi Pill is definitely far more than that. In the world, everyone wants to live forever. However, the monk would never resell the elixir in his hand for worldly silver and two dollars. After all, in the cultivation world, the common currency was the upper, middle, and lower spirit stones, not ordinary gold and silver.

That's a lot of money. Whether it is Chu or other countries, copper coins are mostly used as the base currency. Silver is worth more than copper coins, and the exchange rate is still equal to that of ancient times in another world. Under normal circumstances, a thousand dollars is consistent, that is, equivalent to one tael of silver.

In the streets of Chu State, you can often see vendors pushing carts and selling hot steamed buns along the streets. This kind of steamed bun is full of weight, and one weighs about three taels. The hawker is very good at doing business, so he breaks open the steamed bun on the spot and coats it with a thick layer of home-made fresh spicy sauce, which is very comfortable to eat hot and enough to fill his stomach.

Two such steamed buns are just a copper plate transaction.

Yesterday, the Meng family invited Yang Tianhong to the banquet, and they had already made it clear that they wanted to cooperate. Otherwise, Meng Xiong would not have invited Cui Ji and Bi Yuan to accompany him. Although the head of the family, Meng Xiong, has a very close personal relationship with Cui and Bi, he is a businessman after all. To be able to invite two great Confucians to be guests with Yang Tianhong at home at the same time, Meng Xiong also had to pay a lot of money.

Although the literati are noble, they also have to eat.

Yang Tianhong returned happily yesterday and took Cui Ji and Bi Yuan as teachers. It was a complete bonus. Of course, Meng Xiong and others never thought that Yang Tianhong would be able to make such a masterpiece as "Will Enter the Wine". Whatever you are, give them an extra surprise.

Meng Qi didn't say anything, just smiled, and took out the jade bottle that Yang Tianhong had previously placed in the "Yuzhu Xuan" mortgage and contained the Yuan Qi Pill from his pocket.

"If Brother Yang is short of money, I" Yuzhuxuan can also take out some silver for Brother Yang to spend. You and I are brothers, how can we divide each other?"

Meng Qi's words are very good, but Yang Tianhong knows very well that this is the Meng family's attitude towards himself and his willingness to support him behind his back.

Thinking of this, Yang Tianhong smiled in the depths of his eyes. He picked up the jade bottle, placed it on top of the silver ticket, and slowly pushed the two objects in front of Meng Qi.

Meng Qi was a little overwhelmed by this move, raised his head, and looked at Yang Tianhong puzzled.

"My current official position is to be the captain of the Great Chu State, leading the Xuanhuo Battalion. ”

Yang Tianhong said eloquently: "The Xuanhuo Battalion's armament is lax, and the soldiers are old and unbearable, and they are simply not competent for combat missions. As you must know, I once made an agreement with Your Majesty that in my lifetime, I would regain the title of Resolute Candidate with military merits to comfort my deceased father's soul in heaven. ”

Meng Qi only felt that his eyelids were beating wildly, and his heart sped up the zoom speed without any anger, making a "dong dong" sound.

The Meng family has a lot of money and has dealings with many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China. This kind of close relationship does not only exist in the Chu State, but in all the countries in the world, the Meng family has a liaison organization, and has close contact with the important ministers and military forces. Connections can even reach high-ranking officials such as prime ministers.

Don't say it's just a marquis, even the prince, and the Meng family know not a few.

However, Da Chu Yi Yonghou is a very special existence. The person who can be worthy of the title of "Yi Yong" has an important position in the emperor's mind. The most prominent title of the person in the world who worships the marquis is nothing more than the word "loyalty and bravery". There are "Wenzhong" and "Wuzhong". However, while loyalty is important, it doesn't work when it's critical. Especially the military generals, what the emperor values most is still the word "brave".

Yang Tianhong's father, the hussar general Yang Jing, was the most famous military general since the founding of the Great Chu State. Dingbian has made five mistakes for decades, and has killed more than 100,000 barbarian heads. It is no exaggeration to say that if there was no hussar general Yang Jing, there would be no peace on the border of Dachu that has been maintained so far, let alone the prosperity of the country, the health of the people, and a prosperous scene.

The marquis is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. If the hussar general Yang Jing had not died, the title would definitely have gone further than now, and the title would have been upgraded from "Yi Yong" to a more noble "Zhong Yong". At that time, it will really be the mastery of the military power of Great Chu, under one person, above ten thousand.

All young people will be enthusiastic and have the heart to soar.

Meng Qi has seen and heard a lot of similar people.

The biggest difference between young people and middle-aged people is that they dare to rush and dare to act. It sounds good, it's a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. If it sounds ugly, it is hot-headed and does things without thinking about the consequences.

It's good to be ambitious, but the question is, do you have the ability, are you really capable of doing a lot of things?

The power of the world's views is all passing in the eyes of the monks.

Yang Tianhong is a monk, but he is very special. As a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, he never forgets the righteous and brave lord of the Great Chu State.

Isn't that a bit of a misconduct?

Or, Yang Tianhong was simply hopeless in his cultivation, so he turned to seek wealth in the world?

The answer, of course, is no. How could a person who was able to take out the Yuan Qi Pill have no hope of cultivation? Moreover, the three Forging Body Pills left by Yang Tianhong yesterday, Meng Xiong and the others carefully examined them, and they were indeed top-grade pills that were carefully refined by extremely clever techniques. The whole body is white, the particles are round, and it is clearly a high-quality two-turn forging body pill.

Although the value of these pills is inferior to that of the Yuan Qi Pill, there is not much difference.

With these things, who would dare to say that Yang Tianhong's cultivation was hopeless? Who would dare to say that Yang Tianhong had lost the love of the Guiyuan Sect Master? It was all a fart!

What would be the result of a promising monk who became interested in worldly power?

Meng Qi felt that he had made the right bet.

No, it should be said that God finally opened his eyes and let Yang Tianhong walk into the "Yuzhu Xuan", giving himself a chance, and also giving the Meng family a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In a moment, Meng Qi had quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, got up from his seat, walked in front of Yang Tianhong, put his feet together, knelt down heavily, made an extremely solemn salute, and said solemnly: "Please also ask the lord to make it clear." ”

From the previous "Brother Yang" to the current "Lord Father", the identity title has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Initially, Yang Tianhong was just an ordinary pawn guest.

Later, he became a guest at the Meng family's banquet.

As for now...... Meng Qi had already thought the whole thing through extremely clearly.

Looking at the world, there are countless generals who can lead the army alone. However, a martial artist like Yang Tianhong who has great ambitions and is also a monk is probably the only one.

When he was two years old, Meng Xiong asked a master to come to his home to guide Meng Qi. However, after several people in a row, the conclusion was the same: Meng Qi was born with dull qualifications, and it was difficult for him to make an inch of progress on the way of cultivation. Instead of wasting time, energy, and money, it is better to keep to yourself and be an honest rich man in the world.

Meng Xiong is also an ordinary man, although his family has a lot of money, but he can't really enter the world of monks, although he knows a few "masters", to put it bluntly, he is an ordinary foundation-building monk. This kind of people can't even meet their own daily needs for pills, so how can they talk about their vision and knowledge?

Of course, it was impossible for Meng Qi to know Yang Tianhong's secret. However, the businessman's intuition and vision are incomparably sharper. Meng Qi thought lively, and from a few sentences, he had already analyzed a lot of potential information. In any case, Yang Tianhong is an object worth investing in, a dependent who is worth gambling all his life.

Looking at Meng Qi, who was kneeling in front of him, Yang Tianhong smiled.

Things went much more smoothly than I expected. Originally, it was thought that the Meng family would just be able to become a stable source of funds to provide a large amount of money for themselves. Now it seems that the relationship between himself and the Meng family can become a stronger alliance.

"I needed a lot of things. ”

Yang Tianhong raised his hand and motioned for Meng Qi to sit down on the chair. Then, he said seriously: "10,000 sets of standard infantry iron armor, 10,000 pieces of high-quality iron war knives, spears, and steel shields." In addition, 2,000 horned bows, 200,000 arrows, and 3,000 war horses were needed. ”

"Huh?"

Meng Qi's mouth opened wide, his face full of shock: "Why, how can you need so many weapons?"

"It's just a rough list, and the actual number is definitely much more than that. ”

Yang Tianhong said bluntly: "We should take a long-term view. Although the Xuanhuo Battalion is currently only limited to 3,000 people, as long as they really do something and have the merit to do it, it may not be impossible for the number of people to increase. Five thousand, ten thousand, or even more, it is possible. In short, stockpiling supplies as soon as possible is only good and not bad. ”

Meng Qi frowned tightly: "As long as you have money, it won't be difficult to get these weapons." Lord, you are a serving military general, and you only need an approval from the Ministry of War. Otherwise, possession of weapons is tantamount to a grave crime of treason. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. ”

Yang Tianhong waved his hand disappreciatively and continued: "In addition, I still need enough food for five thousand people to consume half a year. You can prepare more chickens, pigs, cattle and sheep, and it is best to form a cargo channel that provides a stable supply of daily food to the Xuanhuo camp. In half a year, the Xuanhuo Battalion should be able to be reborn and become the fist force that Da Chu can handle. ”

Without waiting for Meng Qi to speak, Yang Tianhong took out two jade bottles from the Qiankun bag, placed them on the table, and said lightly in the majestic tone unique to the superior: "Here are three Yuan Qi Pills. You can get one for yourself. The other two capsules you can dispose of as you like. Sell it for money, or give it to your father, in short, since you call me "lord", from now on, I will definitely protect you and enjoy wealth together. ”

......

Looking down from the mountain, the buildings inside and outside the Xuanhuo camp look particularly shabby, and can even be said to be dilapidated.

Yang Tianhong wore the armor of a six-rank military general, took all the generals and guards, rode a high-headed horse and rushed into the barracks, and drove the battalion soldiers out of the tent one by one like a wolf and a tiger.

"The general has an order, and at the time of a stick of incense, everyone must gather at the school grounds. Those who do not comply with the order will be severely beaten with 50 military sticks. ”

The number of relatives in the outer courtyard of the Yang family has increased somewhat compared with five years ago. Taking Yang Dashan as an example, there are three distant nephews and nephews who have joined them. Of course, these young people can only be called "pro-entourage" at present, which is far from meeting the standard of "pro-guard". But with an old man like Yang Dashan at the level of a grandfather as an example there, even a fool understands that as long as he honestly obeys the orders of the young master Yang Tianhong, not to mention that he has no worries about food and clothing, even if he is ahead and prosperous, he is not without hope.

Although the property left by the hussar general was not much, it was enough to support the one hundred and ten sturdy soldiers in the outer courtyard of the Yang family. Now, with the Meng family providing a steady stream of abundant material conditions behind him, Yang Tianhong feels that he can indeed start to do something.

For a time, the entire Xuanhuo Camp was jumping with chickens and dogs.

"Get up, get up for Lao Tzu. The sun is already high and still sleeping, what the hell are you doing?"

"Get out of here, the generals have an order, and immediately go to the school to assemble. ”

"Put on your armor, bring your weapons, and move faster. ”
