254 Dongming
Meng Xiuyuan and his party of four finally got on the ship of the Giant Kun Gang.
First of all, it's because both sides are really on the way.
The so-called Pengcheng, in fact, is the ancient name of Xuzhou, which is in the route of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
The four of them traveled to Pengcheng with the boat of the Giant Kun Gang, and then found another boat to continue north along the canal into the Yellow River, and then upstream to Xingyang (Zhengzhou).
Although it seems to be a circle, it is actually much more convenient and faster than walking by land. And in troubled times, it is also a safer choice.
Although Meng Xiuyuan said that he would send the three of them on a ride, he might not accompany them all the way to Xingyang, for the sake of Su Su and Daniel Zhang, this is the most reasonable plan.
As for the charming Yunyu Zhenyun Gang Leader, after all, her strength was not good, no matter what she secretly thought, Meng Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention to it.
And as expected, the attitude of the Giant Kun Gang towards Meng Xiuyuan and the four of them was very respectful, and in a few days, except for the delicate and beautiful Yun Gang Leader who was too enthusiastic about Meng Xiuyuan, the rest of the people only acted in the way of entertaining distinguished guests, and did not have any evil thoughts.
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan put his mind at ease, and in addition to his daily cultivation, he also took advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do on this voyage to make some plans for the future.
"Brother Meng, do you have anything to do with me?"
Early this morning, Daniel Zhang was suddenly called into the room by Meng Xiuyuan, and he was quite puzzled.
He originally went to the deck to watch the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River with Su Su girl, but was disturbed by Meng Xiuyuan like this, and several days of preparation were in vain.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't explain much, and only asked him:
"Yongzi, after I leave, will the shopkeeper and the proprietress continue to let you go to the academy?
Are you illiterate now? ”
Daniel Zhang was stunned by Meng Xiuyuan's question, but quickly scratched the back of his head and said with a little embarrassment:
"My father and mother naturally wanted me to study, but I was not motivated myself, and I was sleepy as soon as I arrived at the school.
Later, my husband was so angry that he forbade me to go again.
I should know all the words, but I have long forgotten all the scriptures I have memorized......"
Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, took out three thin booklets from his arms, and handed them to Daniel Zhang:
"It's probably enough to read and write, you can take these three books back and study them carefully, and if you don't understand anything, you must ask me more."
Looking at it, I saw that the cover of it was written with three names: "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong", "Henglian Essence", and "Liaoyuan Marksmanship".
Although Daniel Zhang did not know it, he also understood that these should be some very rare martial arts treasures, and he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised in his heart, only saying that he had encountered the biggest opportunity turn in his life at this moment.
But after calming down a little, he was a little embarrassed, and said to Meng Xiuyuan with a sad face.
"Brother Meng, if I learn your kung fu, I won't embarrass you, right?
I have heard people say that if you want to practice martial arts, you must start practicing from a young age, and once you are over the age of fourteen or fifteen, you will never be able to achieve anything from practice.
I'm not smart, and I'm nineteen years old this year......"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said:
"These three are not exquisite martial arts, as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something, regardless of your age.
I gave you these kung fu just because you helped me break through the bottleneck of martial arts that had plagued me for a long time, so I just wanted to repay the favor.
Giving books casually is not a master-apprentice relationship, so how can it be said to be a shame for me. ”
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan paused slightly, put the three thin books on the table beside him, and then continued:
"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Daniel Zhang had already rushed to his eyes, stretched out his hand to take the three booklets into his arms, smiled at Meng Xiuyuan, and then turned around and fled out the door.
……
There is actually nothing to say about giving Daniel Zhang martial arts, he did help Meng Xiuyuan a lot, and there is no reason not to repay one or two.
At the same time, out of personal feelings, Meng Xiuyuan also wanted Daniel Zhang to learn some kung fu, so that he could gain a foothold in this chaotic world and not die on the battlefield accidentally.
The only thing worth talking about is the most ordinary-looking of the three cheats.
The content recorded in this book is said to be a separate kung fu, but it is more like a collection of some refining experiences that Meng Xiuyuan has recently summarized.
After the accumulation of three lifetimes, Meng Xiuyuan also has a lot of experience in physical cultivation, and recently he summed up his martial arts, and his inspiration came suddenly, so he took out the content of the "horizontal refining" part and wrote such a book.
With Daniel Zhang's gifted and strong body, it is most suitable to practice this horizontal martial arts. Meng Xiuyuan gave him this book, which can be regarded as borrowing his hand to verify his martial arts thoughts, for future observation.
After more than half a month, under the guidance of Meng Xiuyuan, Daniel Zhang gradually entered the contents of the three books, and the rest only needed to continue to work hard.
And it was also during this time that the Giant Kun had passed through Yangzhou and sailed north from the Yangtze River into the Grand Canal.
The whole voyage was considered to be more than halfway through, and Yun Yuzhen of the Giant Kun Gang couldn't help but gradually become restless.
In the evening of this day, on the deck, Meng Xiuyuan was standing alone by the boat, silently watching the scenery on both sides of the Grand Canal. That Yun Yuzhen quietly came up by herself, and said in a delicate voice:
"Meng Gongzi, Yuzhen has something to say to you, I don't know if I can disturb Gongzi for a moment?"
As she spoke, she was already standing on Meng Xiuyuan's side, and the faint fragrance on her body drifted towards Meng Xiuyuan with the river breeze.
"Cloud Gang Master, please speak."
Meng Xiuyuan knew that the other party was finally going to reveal what he wanted, so he didn't avoid it, and immediately nodded and replied.
Seeing this, Yun Yuzhen moved forward inch by inch, leaned towards Meng Xiuyuan's side again, his shoulder was faintly attached to Meng Xiuyuan's arm, and he raised his head and asked softly towards Meng Xiuyuan:
"Yuzhen heard that Gongzi, you have been on the Yangzhou River for several months, one person and one boat, and you have broken the blockade of dozens of warships of the Sui army.
Even Yu Wenhua, the head of the forbidden army who was in the middle of the court, was so frightened that he jumped into the water by just stretching out his bamboo pole, and he was extremely embarrassed.
I don't know if what Yuzhen said is right? ”
Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly, leaned sideways and slightly distanced himself from Yun Yuzhen, and said indifferently:
"What the Cloud Gang Master said is as vivid as the experience on the spot, he must have gotten the exact news, so why do you need to confirm it to me?"
Yun Yu was really not annoyed when she saw Meng Xiuyuan so disgusted, and still said to Meng Xiuyuan in a soft voice:
"Meng Gongzi is not strange, it is really Yuzhen since he heard about this, every time he thinks of Gongzi's outstanding demeanor on the river at that time, he can't help but be moved.
Finally, with Meng Gongzi in front of him, he wanted to tell this admiration in person......"
At this point, Yun Yuzhen's eyes quietly looked at Meng Xiuyuan's face, and his voice paused for a moment before he continued:
"In addition, Yuzhen heard that Meng Gongzi seems to have done a big thing recently.
Just two days before Gongzi boarded the ship, there was a sudden commotion among the Jianghuai army, and the attack on the Sui army suddenly stopped.
There is gossip that it was Na Dufuwe who was injured by a young master and his life was in danger.
This master is actually Meng Gongzi, right......?"
Meng Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect this Yunyu to really know about this.
You must know that when Meng Xiuyuan and Du Fuwei made their moves, only his hundred guards were present to witness it, which was very different from the duel between the Yangtze River and the Sui army.
For the sake of his own prestige and to stabilize the morale of the army, Du Fuwei will strictly prohibit the leakage of news about this matter.
But this Yunyu is really on the river boat that has been moving, but he can get the news in a short time, which is really a bit unbelievable.
"The Cloud Gang Master is powerful, but I don't know what you told me about, what is the matter?"
Meng Xiuyuan knew in his heart that this Yun Yuzhen deliberately revealed such a clever method to him, and he must have his intentions.
Sure enough, when he looked down at Yun Yuzhen again, he saw that this woman's charming face had a shrewd meaning:
"Meng Gongzi is straightforward, so Yuzhen won't go around the bend.
Don't hide it from my son, the reason why my Giant Whale Gang can be ranked among the 'Eight Gangs and Ten Guilds' in the world is that the most important point is that its ability to collect intelligence is far beyond others.
Whoever can grasp the layout of the opponent's army, the strength of the strength, and the reality of the soldiers will have the opportunity to dominate the world, and my industry will come into being.
And I want to use this to make a deal with you Meng Gongzi.
As long as Meng Gongzi you promise me one thing, as long as it is the news you want in the future, Yu Zhen will definitely give it for free as soon as possible......"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that Yun Yuzhen had talked so much with him, and it was originally to show his ability to gather intelligence and use it as a bargaining chip for the transaction.
"What does the Cloud Gang Master want to know from me, is it the 'Recipe for Eternal Life', or the 'Yang Gong Treasure'?"
Meng Xiuyuan looked at Yun Yuzhen and asked with a chuckle.
No, the Red Pink Gang leader immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said softly to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Although "The Secret of Eternal Life" is good, it is only a Taoist book, and it has nothing to do with fighting for the world.
And the 'Yang Gong Treasure', I think Meng Gongzi didn't know the details, otherwise why didn't he take it out to this day......
Yu Zhen didn't care about either, he just wanted to ask Meng Gongzi to do me a favor.
This is a favor that only a peerless master like Childe can do. ”
At this point, Yun Yuzhen glanced at the expression on Meng Xiuyuan's face, and saw that he had no intention of contradiction, so he didn't wait for Meng Xiuyuan to ask, and took the initiative to continue:
"Childe, can you know that Li Valu came to Pengcheng this time to meet the Ryukyu Dongming faction?
What I want to ask Childe to do is to go to the ship of the Dongming faction and borrow a very important account book......"
Meng Xiuyuan's brows furrowed when he heard this, although he didn't know what this Dongming faction was doing, but Yun Yuzhen understood the word "borrow", it was better to directly say "steal" or "rob" more directly.
"The Yun Gang Leader should ask another Gao Ming for this matter...... If your gang invited the four of us to accompany because of this, then please let us get off the boat nearby. ”
Meng Xiuyuan said softly, then turned around and walked towards the cabin.
Seeing this, Yun Yuzhen rushed to Meng Xiuyuan's side, blocked the way with his delicate body, forcing Meng Xiuyuan to stop, and then opened his mouth and hurriedly said:
"Meng Gongzi misunderstood, no matter what, the four of you are all distinguished guests of my Giant Whale Gang.
I'm just making a suggestion, and as for whether or not I finally agree, it's not a matter of your words.
Yuzhen treats Childe with sincerity, doesn't Childe even have the patience to listen to me finish the matter......"
Seeing this, Meng Xiu didn't want to entangle with this woman, so he simply nodded and said:
"If there is anything the Cloud Gang Master wants to say, I will listen to it.
It's just that my patience is limited, so I ask the helper to be more concise. ”
Yun Yuzhen didn't dare to be careless when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke:
"Meng Gongzi, don't blame me for being verbose, it's just that if I want to explain this matter to you, I have to start with the Dongming faction itself.
This Dongming faction is from the Ryukyus, and the faction is mainly female, and the best thing is to create high-quality weapons, and many forces in the world have trade with them.
The account book I am talking about is the settlement record of the weapons sold by the Dongming faction in recent years, and the seller and the buyer have drawn a seal to list the types and quantities of weapons.
Now the internal struggle in the court is severe, and many forces want to get this account book, and use it as ironclad evidence to bring down the gate lords of other forces.
And this time, my giant whale gang, is fighting for this thing for Dugu Valve, one of the 'Four Great Gate Valves'......"
Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect the other party to reveal the details so clearly in order to show his sincerity.
Yun Yuzhen saw Meng Xiuyuan's expression, and knew that his words had attracted this Meng Gongzi, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot, and then said softly:
"I believe that Meng Gongzi can also hear that Yuzhen has truthfully explained to Gongzi and has not concealed anything.
This is so because the matter is really urgent.
I received the news that about the same time as we arrived in Pengcheng, the head of the Dongming faction, Mrs. Dongming, would go to meet with Li Yuan, the master of the Li valve, and leave her giant ship 'Piaoxiang' for a few days.
This Mrs. Dongming's skills have reached the realm of transformation, and if others want to get this account book, they have to take advantage of her absence on the ship to be considered another chance.
And the 'Piaoxiang' is heavily guarded, even if Mrs. Dongming herself is not there, she has to be a peerless master-level figure to be able to succeed.
In a short period of time, Yuzhen could no longer find such a suitable candidate as Gongzi......"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he suddenly understood the true intention of this Yunyu. The so-called "going to Pengcheng to meet the second son of Li Valve" before was obviously just an excuse she made up to cover up.
"The Yun Gang Master told me the matter in such detail, I'm not afraid that if I really get the account book at that time, I will go to cooperate with other gate forces?"
Meng Xiuyuan looked at Yun Yuzhen with slightly scrutinizing eyes and asked softly.
But when Yun Yuzhen heard this, he didn't care, shook his head with a smile, and said to Meng Xiuyuan quite confidently:
"Yu Zhen dared to mention this matter to Gongzi, because he had considered it in advance.
As mentioned earlier, Meng Gongzi defeated Du Fuwei of the Jianghuai army with his own strength, but he still let him go.
From this point of view, Gongzi is by no means a person who has ambitions to dominate the world and strive for fame and fortune, otherwise, how could he not make good use of such an opportunity and get more benefits from the Jianghuai Army, which is a powerful party?
According to my thoughts, Meng Gongzi should be a pure martial artist, and what he asks for is nothing more than a secret book of magic and a rival beauty.
And these things, the well-informed Giant Kun Gang and the powerful Dugu Valve, can satisfy your ...... Childe."
When the word "beauty" was spoken, Yun Yuzhen leaned in front of Meng Xiuyuan again, almost wanting to throw herself into his arms.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan chuckled, and a Northern Darkness True Qi emanated from his body to push away the Cloud Gang Leader who took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, and at the same time replied:
"The Cloud Gang Leader guessed right, I really don't care about the matter of dominating the world.
However, don't say that I have no interest in stealing people's account books.
Just talking about what I wanted, your gang and Dugu Valve, I'm afraid they won't be able to give it to me......"
Yun Yuzhen was forced by Meng Xiuyuan's true anger to take two steps back, but his face still did not change, and he said softly to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Gongzi might as well speak it out and listen to it, so as to determine whether Yuzhen really can't satisfy Gongzi......"
Meng Xiuyuan had nothing to hide, and immediately said bluntly:
"What interests me the most in the world is the so-called 'Four Great Divine Skills'.
The cloud gang leader is so well-informed, he must have heard it.
Although I have obtained the "Recipe for Eternal Life", but the remaining three kung fu, "Cihang Sword Codex", "Heavenly Demon Strategy", and "God of War Catalogue", I still want to have the opportunity to borrow a look for reference.
If the Cloud Gang Master has specific information about these three divine skills, he can use them to trade with me.
As long as it doesn't go against my heart, it doesn't hurt if I do one for the Cloud Gang Master......"
When Meng Xiuyuan said this, he didn't think of getting any response from this Cloud Gang Master, after all, this kind of peerless magic skill, it is very rare for ordinary people to only hear the name.
I don't want to, after Yun Yuzhen heard this, he actually spoke:
"Coincidentally, Meng Gongzi, I really have a piece of news that has a lot to do with these three divine skills......
The plot of the book Datang is tangled, and various forces are complicated.
If you want to write something clearly without being too dry, you have a lot to say.
I was thinking of writing more in this chapter, but I didn't expect to write it in the middle of the night, and I only wrote it here.
If you think this is too wordy, I can write as concisely as possible next time.
