Chapter 77: Desperate for the Glacier
Zong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded, since Xu Feng said so, he knew that Xu Feng didn't lie to himself.
"Then get ready! Last night, the king was assassinated, and we preliminarily judged that these people were committed by people from the southeast. They wanted to prevent the main merchant army from reinforcing and destroying them. But they didn't take it all. According to our analysis, in addition to assassinating the Great King, they also want to go to a place where they want to destroy the Great Shang Dragon Vein! Zong Cheng said.
"The Great Merchant Dragon Vein?" Xu Feng was a little surprised.
"Yes, have you heard the story of 'Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descended to give birth to business'?" Zong Cheng asked.
"You know, isn't that the story of the ancestors of this dynasty who got the eggs of the Xuanniao and ate them and gave birth to the ancestors of this dynasty?" Xu Feng replied.
"That's right, our Great Business National Fortune originated from the Divine Bird. But the day before yesterday, the king dreamed that those people dressed as assassins yesterday had come to the source of the great river, which was where the snow-capped mountains were. The king dreamed that there was a big lake there, and the lake was inhabited by the sacred bird, and the king also dreamed that the assassins wanted to kill the sacred bird! Zong Cheng said.
"Such a big thing must be stopped!" Xu Feng said.
"yes, they have to be stopped! To do this, the people who need to lead the troops are very good at resourcefulness and spell martial arts! I want to come and go, only you are the most suitable. I have decided to send you to lead two Dynasty Lingyun Academy teachers, ten Dynasty Lingyun Academy disciples, and the ten martial arts warriors selected this time, you form a team to stop those people! Zong Cheng said.
Xu Feng knew that this time he could only succeed and not fail
He thought that those people's mana and martial arts should not be stronger than his own team, but such a team let himself lead, and Zong Cheng did give himself a great opportunity to show his face, and it was also to cultivate himself.
"Yes, Prime Minister! I will definitely accomplish my mission! Xu Feng said.
Zong Cheng looked at Xu Feng, he knew that Xu Feng would definitely succeed. This young man has all the virtues of his own, calm, tenacious, quick-witted, and taught by a master.
The most critical thing is that there will be a master to rescue at the critical moment.
There is no doubt about that.
Zong Cheng nodded, "You must be careful, although you will definitely succeed." But everything is very variable, and one oversight can lead to a very serious situation. Don't slack off at any time! ”
"I know, Prime Minister!" Xu Feng said.
"Who are you going with you, do you count?" Zong Cheng asked.
"I've counted! In the academy, there are a few brothers who have fought together, and their teachers can come, and Teacher Zheng Guang and a few of my brothers can go. In addition, the brothers of this competition, I can't take the top few away, after all, the front also needs talents. I have some candidates! Xu Feng said.
"Teacher Zheng Guang asked you to go to the Scripture Pavilion, don't you blame him?" Zong Cheng smiled.
"Don't blame him, if there wasn't a scripture pavilion, I wouldn't be where I am now!" Xu Feng suddenly laughed as well.
"There are a lot of talents in this competition, and you have a point. Then you come to select, and leave some good ones for the merchant army to attack the troops! Zong Cheng smiled.
"This time the martial arts brothers, except for me, I will keep the top ten. I'll pick twenty to the top ten, and I'll pick one or two top ten! None of the top five were chosen except me! Xu Feng smiled.
"Okay, that's it, you confirm again, and the list is determined today. Tomorrow you will go! You may have to speed up and get ahead of those people. I've mobilized all my forces to stop them, and I hope it helps! Zong Cheng said.
They quickly got busy, and Xu Feng finally confirmed the list.
Because here in Zongcheng, all the information can be called up quickly. The information recorded on the bamboo pieces shows all the circumstances of the person Xu Feng wants to choose.
Name, age, place of origin, hobbies, abilities, qualifications, achievements, etc. Even if you have just entered the system, you can quickly call it up.
Xu Feng secretly admired Zong Cheng's ability. In the dynasty, only Zong Cheng can do everything so meticulously and steadily.
In Lingyun Academy, several people who were good with him, as well as Meng'er, were all selected, and their teachers also chose two. Teacher Zheng and several of his disciples were also selected. After all, I am familiar with Teacher Zheng, Teacher Zheng's disciples, and several of my brothers are also familiar with each other, so it is more convenient to speak.
Among the heroes selected in this competition, Mountain Ghost and Meng Liang must be selected, and Xu Feng also selected several who are very good at martial arts, although they are not among the top ten, but they also have a skill.
Zong Cheng was very efficient, and after Xu Feng was officially confirmed, Zong Cheng quickly passed the notice to the hands of everyone's families. Dynasty Lingyun Academy and the Military Department are all in a hurry to inform all parties.
Zong Cheng and Xu Feng are still doing some deductions.
"Look!" Zong Cheng said to Xu Feng.
Zong Cheng waved his hand, and in front of them, a very large phantom mirror appeared, which was very vast, covering thousands of miles. Countless mountains and rivers are on it.
Xu Feng knew that this was the map of the place he was about to go. On the picture, a yellow river meanders towards the sea.
Where the river comes from, there is a plateau with countless mountains lying there. The mountains are covered in snow and ice.
Xu Feng calculated the distance between his eyes and there, and he found that it was thousands of miles, and if he wanted to walk, it was estimated that he would have to walk for several months.
The river is on this diagram, and it has taken a big zigzag. Coming from the glacier-covered area, the yellow river makes a big bend to the grassland to the north, and then to the shore of Weishui and then to the core area of Dashang. Finally, it flows eastward, to the birthplace of the great merchants of the East, and finally flows into the sea.
"You see, you can't go there to be tricks. The place was so cloudy that we couldn't see it clearly. I guess the other party is too. It is the place where the sacred bird inhabits, and it is easy for ordinary people to find it. If you want to find that place, you'll have to take it one step at a time! Zong Cheng said.
"Can it still be like this?" Xu Feng was a little depressed.
"Yes! It's like a war, an army of tens of thousands of people can't all escape, they all have to go step by step! Zong Cheng said.
"What's the point?" Xu Feng asked.
"Everything has a fixed number, if you are too cunning, it will affect that heavenly way! Therefore, spells are only temporary and small-scale to affect the situation. In the end, it will be decided whether success or failure is not with you! Zong Cheng said.
Xu Feng nodded, "I understand!" ”
"They wanted to go to the source of the river to find the sacred bird, which was originally a difficult thing. Compete with them to see who comes first. That's why I want you to go. You have this talent, and I want to see you return triumphantly! Zong Cheng said.
"Okay, Prime Minister!" Xu Feng said.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the military station.
Lu Yi, Huang Bing, Liu Yong, Zhang Qian, Song Wan, and Huang Bing's teacher Zhang Yi, plus Zheng Guang and his five disciples, they were soon ready to stop and report to the military office.
Mountain Ghost and Meng Liang, as well as the rest of the masters, they are also ready to stop.
They were a group of about two dozen people, and two grooms, and this was their team.
"Your task this time is arduous, and it is related to the future of our Great Shang Dynasty! Be sure to get it done! Zong Cheng said to them.
"We're done!" Everybody said.
Zong Cheng looked at the two teachers, "Zhang Yi, Zheng Guang, you are the main teachers of our academy, and the reason why I let you go is because I hope that your experience and ability will help them." Xu Feng is an outstanding disciple of our Lingyun Academy, and he is also the champion of the martial arts selected by this dynasty. We want to train him to be a handsome talent! Help him! Zong Cheng said.
"Yes, Prime Minister, we will do a good job!" Zheng Guang and Zhang Yi said.
In fact, Zheng Guang was still very happy in his heart, when he saw Xu Feng for the first time, he liked him very much. It was only later that Fei Zheng came to him and told him that he was not allowed to teach Xu Feng kung fu. At that time, Zheng Guang was very entangled. But he quickly thought of letting Xu Feng enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
The legend of how Zong Cheng learned martial arts spells has been circulating in the academy for a long time. Xu Feng learned a skill, and Zheng Guang was originally happy.
Accepting such an important task this time, Zheng Guang also knew that it must be recommended by Xu Feng.
Zheng Guang also knew that Fei Zheng would be unhappy. But this is the king's task, and no one can interfere with it.
After several wars, the teachers and disciples of the Dynasty Lingyun Academy also sacrificed a small half. Now there are only about 20 teachers and more than 200 disciples in the academy. Among the disciples, there are very few people who can reach the level of Lu Yi.
The previous disciples all participated in the wars of the dynasty, and very few returned. Some of the disciples who have returned so far have urgently served as teachers to teach. Immediately, the merchant army will go to the southeast again, and it is estimated that they will be conscripted into the army again. On this expedition, half of the teachers and disciples of the academy will be sent out.
It is said that this time it is still led by Vice Dean Zu Qiu, and if that is the case, Mr. Fei Zheng will stay in the college to manage the overall school.
Zheng Guang thought about it, but he knew that in such a big situation, he didn't have to think about it. Anyway, try not to offend Fei Zheng, and it can't be said that because you are afraid of offending Fei Zheng, you will not accept the normal mission sent by Zong Cheng.
Zheng Guang remembered that after receiving the task, Fei Zheng had a conversation with him. Zheng Guang was still a little depressed.
"Teacher Zhenghe, you and Xu Feng went to the source of the river this time. That's a good task! Fei Zheng squinted his eyes and said.
This is in Fei Zheng's office, where a three-dimensional topographic map is placed, showing the route of this march.
Although Zheng Guang didn't know what Fei Zheng meant, he also knew that Fei Zheng didn't dare to stop the king's affairs. It is estimated that Fei Zheng will get something unfavorable to Xu Feng out.
"Zheng Guang heard that this matter is related to the future of Dashang, so he didn't refuse, the prime minister asked me to go, and I went!" Zheng Guang said.
"It seems that the prime minister values you very much!" Fei Zheng squinted and smiled again.
"No, I guess Xu Feng knows my disciples, and he doesn't know anyone else, so he pulled me!" Zheng Guang deliberately smiled bitterly.
Fei Zheng looked at him, in fact, Fei Zheng also knew that the general climate of the dynasty was currently in power. You have to be careful when you talk at all times. However, when he said something at this time, he just knocked Zheng Guang and hoped that he would not fully fall to Zongcheng.
This Zheng Guang, since he is willing to explain, shows that he is also afraid of himself. That's fine, after I defeat Zong Cheng in the future, Zheng Guang will definitely support me, Fei Zheng thought.
