Chapter 74: Heading to Shanhaiguan
In the hall, looking at the arrogant and domineering figure in the center, Zheng He and the others looked shocked.
They never imagined that Yuhuatian's ambition would be so great!
They were still worried that Yuhuatian would covet the throne and rebel.
Because at this moment, Yuhuatian's strength is growing too fast, it is beyond their control, and there are countless masters under his command, and he controls the three major power institutions of the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei at the same time, once Yuhuatian rebels, no one will be able to stop him.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty will be overturned, and it will be close at hand!
But the two didn't expect that Yuhuatian's target turned out to be the major dynasties around the Ming Dynasty, and even the entire Shenzhou!
With such lofty ambitions, how could he look at such a corner of the Ming Dynasty?
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
For a long time, Zheng He looked at Yuhuatian and said word by word.
Yu Huatian nodded: "I naturally know what I'm talking about, and I understand better what the two seniors are worried about." ”
As he spoke, Yu Huatian turned to look at the dim sky outside the hall and said slowly:
"The six dynasties of Shenzhou have their own characteristics. The Han Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world; The Great Sui Dynasty had many soldiers and generals; The Great Song Dynasty was rich and desolate; The Great Yuan rules over millions of alien races; Ming and Qing firearms shocked China. ”
"Strictly speaking, among the six major dynasties, the strength of my Ming Dynasty is not strong."
"But if you don't try, how do you know if you'll succeed?"
"At that time, the Qin State was known as the Western barbarians, the horse raising slaves of the Zhou royal family, who could afford it in the Six Kingdoms?"
"But what was the result?"
A rare touch of reverence appeared in Yuhuatian's eyes, and his voice became more and more heroic and domineering:
"King Qin sweeps Liuhe! Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi were successively destroyed under the iron cavalry of Great Qin, the world was unified, the king of Qin was called the emperor, and Shenzhou was respected! ”
"Since Daqin back then could, why can't I Da Ming?!"
Yu Huatian looked at Zheng He and the others, his eyes were burning, and his voice was loud and deafening.
Zheng He and Nothingness were silent.
Immediately, Zheng He sighed and said: "This Shenzhou is not as simple as you think, all countries have masters in charge, and the martial arts of all countries are flourishing, and the martial arts are clearly distinguished, and they are unanimously xenophobic." If you want to destroy other dynasties, not to mention that the imperial courts of various countries will not agree, and the martial arts of various countries will also resist desperately. If you do this, you are equivalent to making an enemy of the entire Shenzhou Martial Dao. ”
Yu Huatian snorted coldly: "What about being an enemy of the world? ”
"Although my Yuhuatian is a crippled body, but I have the ambition of Lingyun, one day, this seat will definitely reproduce the feat of the First Emperor, unify Shenzhou, and reproduce the majesty of the ancient Great Qin!"
Zheng He wanted to say something, but he suddenly stopped him and shook his head.
Ignoring Zheng He's puzzled gaze, he looked at Yuhuatian and said calmly: "Since you want to do it, then do it, no matter what, I am your backing." ”
"Thank you seniors for your support."
Yuhuatian gave up his hand and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
No matter what, these two in front of them are always the guardians of the Ming Dynasty.
He wants to use the Ming Dynasty as the cornerstone, unify Shenzhou, and reproduce the glory of the ancient Great Qin, but he has never been able to avoid Zheng He and the nothing.
Yuhuatian doesn't ask the two to support him, as long as the two don't object.
Because he really didn't want to go against these two unless he had to.
That's the main reason he's here today.
And now, if there is no support for it, this is the best outcome.
Next, Yu Huatian didn't say anything more, he discussed some defensive matters in the capital with the two of them, and then left.
But before leaving, Void suddenly reminded him:
"By the way, Elder Sun asked me to tell you that last time I came with that Jueyuan bald donkey, that black-clothed celestial named Chai Yuguan. In the last battle, he escaped when Sun Lao killed the jueyuan bald donkey, and he did not die. This person is very strong, you are out of the capital, Sun Lao can no longer shelter you, you have to be more careful. ”
'Happy King' Chai Yuguan, 'Ghost Palace Master' Bai Feifei's father-in-law, and 'Canglang Invincible' celebrity Shen Lang's father-in-law?
Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded and said:
"Thank you seniors for reminding me, I'll be careful."
After speaking, Yu Huatian turned around and left.
Zheng He and the two went out and watched Yuhuatian leave the back mountain.
Looking at Yuhuatian's arrogant back, Zheng He suddenly looked at nothingness, frowned, and said: "He is so ambitious, if you don't stop him, why do you still support him?" ”
Xuruo Wu looked at Zheng He: "Do you think you can stop what he wants to do?" ”
Hearing this, Zheng He's brows furrowed.
Xu Ruowu sighed in a low voice and said, "He came here today just to solve our two old things that are in the way, so that he has no worries." ”
"You think he's consulting with us?"
Void shook his head: "No! He's just informing us! ”
Zheng He's eyes sank: "If we oppose it, will he dare to make a move against us?" ”
"Why not?"
Void Ruowu looked at Zheng He: "With his strength at the moment, even if you and I go together, are you sure to take him?" ”
Hearing this, Zheng He fell silent.
"Sometimes, it's better to be decent, and if we're not decent, he'll help us be decent."
Xuruo Wu shook his head and said: "People who are hundreds of years old, it is better to save some face by yourself." ”
"Moreover, such a martial arts genius, there is no need to force him to become our enemy."
"Since he wants to do it, let him try it."
"As he said, if you don't try, how will you know if you can do it?"
After saying that, Void Nothingness sighed again, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Zheng He stood at the door, looking at the figure in the distance that was getting farther and farther away, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
After leaving the back mountain, Yuhuatian went straight back to the West Factory.
However, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the West Factory, he saw an unexpected person, waiting at the yamen.
The corners of Yu Huatian's mouth showed a hint of playfulness, and he stepped forward and said, "This is the sun hitting the west, and Lord Yuan will come to this pickled place?" ”
This man in official uniform is the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan was also born in the military in his early years, and later entered the dynasty as an official, pretending to be high, and has always looked down on the people of the East and West No. 2 Factory, and called the officials of the East and West No. 2 Factory eunuchs, and the East and West No. 2 Factory as the pickled land, and has impeached Yuhuatian in the DPRK many times.
If it weren't for the fact that this person's strength and ability are extraordinary, and he is indeed an upright person, and he has not done anything illegal and undisciplined, Yu Huatian would have found a way to get rid of him a long time ago.
But just because you don't kill him doesn't mean you like him.
So now that Yuan Chonghuan has come to the door, Yuhuatian is still quite surprised.
"I've seen Rain-sama."
Yuan Chonghuan didn't know how long he had been waiting, he was about to fall asleep leaning against the pillar at the door, when he suddenly heard a voice, he woke up suddenly, and hurriedly saluted Yuhuatian.
Next to him, a teenage boy was also followed.
The boy looks skeletal and clear-eyed, with a grunt eye that turns from time to time, revealing a hint of cunning, and should be a stubborn character.
However, unlike Yuan Chonghuan, when the boy saw Yuhuatian coming, he immediately stared at Yuhuatian, there was no fear in his eyes, but he was very fiery and reverent.
Yu Huatian glanced at the boy, ignored him, waved his hand at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Lord Yuan, let's go inside and talk." ”
With that, Yuhua walked straight into the yamen.
A moment later, the two sat down in the yamen.
Yuhuatian didn't play dumb riddles, looked at Yuan Chonghuan, and said lightly: "Lord Yuan, let's say, what is the matter with coming to this seat?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan's face was embarrassed, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but after hesitating, he still got up and said:
"Don't hide it, Lord Yu, the official is here for the dog."
As he spoke, he pulled the boy next to him and said to Yuhuatian:
"The dog has a stubborn temperament, he doesn't like to read, but he likes to practice martial arts, after hearing that Lord Yu made a great deal of power in the palace and wiped out hundreds of anti-thieves in one fell swoop, the dog has been pestering the old man, wanting to practice martial arts with Lord Yu."
"Xiaguan is just this one son, and he can't resist him, so he came cheekily, hoping that Lord Yu will teach the dog a trick and a half for the sake of being a minister in the same court, so that he will die."
"Want to learn martial arts with this seat?" Yu Huatian chuckled, and refused without thinking about it.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked at the boy and asked, "What's his name?" ”
Before Yuan Chonghuan could speak this time, the boy preemptively said, "My name is Yuan Chengzhi." ”
As he spoke, Yuan Chengzhi still learned to be an adult, knelt down on one knee towards Yuhuatian, bowed his hand, and said in a young but firm voice:
"Please take it in!"
Yuan Chengzhi?!
Yu Huatian's heart shook slightly, no wonder this boy made him feel extraordinary.
It turned out to be a son of luck, the male protagonist of the 'Blue Blood Sword'.
His eyes narrowed slightly, Yu Huatian looked at Yuan Chengzhi and asked, "Why do you want to practice martial arts?" ”
Yuan Chengzhi said without hesitation: "I want to become a generation of heroes, eliminate violence and be peaceful!" ”
Yu Huatian's expression was calm: "What if this seat is the 'violence' in your mouth?" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's face changed, he looked at Yuan Chengzhi, and wanted to speak, but he looked at Yuhuatian's oppressive gaze, but he didn't dare to speak.
Yuan Chengzhi didn't notice his father's gaze, and when he heard what Yu Huatian said, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Although they said that the master of the factory killed many people, the master of the factory killed all the people who should be killed. Those people want to rebel, they are the bad people, and the factory master killed them to eliminate harm for the people, so the factory master is not a bad person. ”
Yuhuatian was noncommittal: "But what if one day, this seat becomes a bad person?" Are you going to kill this seat for the sake of those good people? ”
"No, it won't." Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and said, then thought about it, and said: "Master Changgong is not a bad person...... In short, I will never let anyone hurt the factory. ”
When Yuhuatian heard this, he looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Go back, this son has accepted it." ”
When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Disciple see Master!" ”
Seeing this scene, for some reason, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly regretted coming to the West Factory.
But now that the wood has become a boat, it is too late for him to regret it, so he can only sigh secretly, pull Yuan Chengzhi to the side and explain bitterly for a long time, before turning around and saluting Yuhuatian, and said: "In the future, the dog will have Lord Lao Yu, but there is one more thing, Lord Wangyu will be fulfilled." ”
"After all, Xia Guan only has this one son, so he ......"
Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
But Yu Huatian understood what he meant, and said lightly: "Don't worry, he doesn't need to be clean." ”
"Thank you, Lady Rain."
Yuan Chonghuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then after a few words of greeting, he said goodbye and left.
In the mansion, Yuhuatian looked at Yuan Chengzhi, who was looking excited, and asked, "What do you want to learn?" ”
Yuan Chengzhi immediately said: "I want to learn swords!" ”
Sword!
Yu Huatian was silent for a moment and nodded.
…
…
Knock, knock, knock –
The evening drum and morning bell ring through the streets of Kyoto, representing the beginning of a new day.
Thousands of streets and alleys rose in the morning bell, and the originally quiet urban area became prosperous and lively.
At the same time, at the gate of the West Factory.
The dense Xichang Fanzi and Jinyiwei gathered, blocking almost the entire street.
In front of the team, several major stalls in the West Factory and thousands of households in Jinyi stood solemnly with solemn expressions.
Ye Gucheng, Lei Hong, Zhan Yu, Lian Chengbi, Murong Qiudi and others also stood next to the crowd, their momentum was profound and incomparable.
Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, and Tan Luzi, the deputy governor of the West Factory, respectfully stood at the door, waiting for Yuhuatian to come.
The ranks were silent, save for the occasional neighing of the horses and the sound of the horses' hooves plowing the ground.
There was a sense of slaughter in the field!
"Treading ......"
Not long after, with the sound of footsteps, Yuhuatian, who was wearing a silver and white python robe and a jade pendant on his waist, walked from the house, with a jade pendant and a gold medal hanging on his waist, with a graceful bearing, arrogant and domineering.
But not just one, but three.
On the left and right sides of Yuhuatian, there were also two teenage children, a man and a girl.
The boy was none other than Yuan Chengzhi, wearing a black robe, with long hair tied behind his head, and a long sword in his hand.
This sword is three fingers wide and about four feet long, almost as tall as Yuan Chengzhi, and the body of the sword is pale red, with a hot force on it.
This sword is Yan Nantian's matching sword, called the Pure Yang Wuji Sword.
After Yan Nantian's death, this sword became Yuhuatian's trophy, and Yuhuatian passed it to Yuan Chengzhi last night.
The girl was delicate and agile, with big eyes that were quite endearing, and she also held a sword in her hand.
The shape of this sword is very peculiar, the whole sword is like a snake coiled, the snake tail is hooked into the hilt, the snake head is the tip of the sword, the snake tongue sticks out and forks, and the tip of the sword has two forks.
The girl's name is Wen Qingqing, and she is the daughter of Xia Xueyi and Wen Yi, the golden snake langjun.
Xia Xueyi died in the battle of Tianning Temple, and afterwards Yuhuatian personally visited Wen Yi, took the mother and daughter to live in the capital, and secretly sent people to protect them to ensure that the mother and daughter had no worries about food and clothing.
But last night, Yuan Chengzhi was accepted as an apprentice, and Yuhuatian suddenly had a whim, in line with the idea of 'teaching one is also teaching, and teaching two is also teaching', after asking Wen Yi's opinion, he also accepted Wen Qingqing as an apprentice and taught him with him.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Xia Xueyi.
Seeing Yuhuatian appear, everyone was immediately shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"See the Overseer!"
Then, everyone's eyes swept over Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing, and they were a little puzzled.
However, when they saw the sword in Wen Qingqing's hand, everyone's hearts were shocked.
Golden Serpent Sword!
Everyone vaguely understood Wen Qingqing's identity, and they also guessed Yuan Chengzhi's identity.
Has the Overseer taken in his disciples?
Yu Huatian didn't say much, his eyes swept around the field, and he couldn't help frowning: "What about Yan Shisan?" ”
Yan Thirteen hasn't come yet?
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Tan Luzi stepped forward and said respectfully: "Overseer, Yan Daxia has been in retreat since the first battle in the capital, and he should be preparing to sprint to the realm of the Great Grandmaster." ”
Yan 13 is about to break through?
Hearing this, Yuhuatian was a little surprised.
Yan Shisan has been following him for a long time, but as there are more and more masters under his command, Yan Shisan has gradually fallen from the first master under his command at the beginning.
Now, it can't even rank in the top five.
Yu Huatian never said anything about this, but presumably Yan Shisan also felt the pressure, so after the first battle in the capital this time, he broke through the retreat.
Thinking of this, Yu Huatian didn't say much, and looked at everyone:
"Then leave him alone, let's go."
"Yes!"
Then they got on their horses, turned around, and hurried toward the east of the city.
Because Shanhaiguan is in the northeast of Daming.
Yuhuatian also took Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing on the horse, and then glanced at Cao Zhengchun and Tan Luzi at the door, and said: "The capital will be handed over to you, if there is anything that can't be handled, go to the mountain behind the palace to find Zheng Lao and the mighty king." ”
On this expedition, Yuhuatian planned to let the East Factory stay in the capital, while Tan Luzi continued to stay in the West Factory and cooperated with Cao Zhengchun to jointly deal with the government affairs of the East and West Second Factory.
As for Jinyiwei's side, Yuhuatian had already greeted Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei.
Lu Bing is a smart person, and he shouldn't do anything stupid.
"Yes!"
Cao Zhengchun and Tan Luzi hurriedly saluted.
Yuhuatian bowed his head, didn't say anything more, turned his horse, and headed towards the east.
Target, Shanhaiguan!
…
Seeing this dense procession out of the capital, the people in the city immediately discussed, all of them were discussing, whether Xichang and Jinyiwei could help the army repel the Qing army and recover Shanhaiguan.
In the crowd, the old man of Tianji took the banner of his book, and stood in the crowd with his granddaughter Sun Xiaohong, watching the Xichang and Jinyi guards leave, sighed lightly, and said:
"Kill the wolf and move to the east, and there will be a bloody disaster in the east again......"
Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue and others were also beside them, and when they heard this, Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Seniors think, can this factory master repel the Qing army when he goes?" It is said that the commander of the Qing army, Ao Bai, is known as the 'No. 1 warrior of Manchuria', with extremely high martial arts, and countless masters under his command, even the blood knife ancestor who is known as the 'No. 1 master of the Qing cult', is serving under his command! ”
"The first warrior of Manchuria? The first cult master of the Qing Dynasty? ”
The old man of Tianji chuckled lightly and said: "There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are just overlords, and there are many people who are stronger than them in the Qing Dynasty martial arts." ”
As he spoke, the old man of Tianji looked at the direction of the team's departure again, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Although Yu Xiaoyou is strong, his temperament is too impulsive, I hope he just wants to repel the Qing army and recover Shanhaiguan this time, otherwise, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss......"
The voice of the old man of Tianji was inaudible, but Lu Xiaofeng was close, but he heard a few words clearly, his eyes purred, and said, "Senior, are you interested, go to Shanhaiguan to join in the fun?" ”
The old man Tianji shook his head with a smile and said, "The old man is old and can't stand the toss, so he won't join in the fun." ”
When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much, and pulled Ximen Fuxue and the others next to him and went out of the city to chase them.
It wasn't until Lu Xiaofeng and the others left that the old man Tianji shook his head, and also left the city and headed east.
Sun Xiaohong was puzzled and asked, "Grandpa, where are we going?" ”
The old man of Tianji smiled: "Go to the Qing Dynasty." ”
"Huh?"
Sun Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What are you going to do in Daqing?" I heard that the court over there is full of aliens, and we are not allowed to keep our hair, so we went, and they won't let us cut our hair, right? I don't want to cut my hair, just a braid, it's ugly! ”
The old man of Tianji smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, with grandpa here, no one will dare to cut your hair." Also, it's not all braided over there. ”
Sun Xiaohong was curious: "Why?" ”
The old man Tianji explained: "Because the rivers and lakes over there are more chaotic, foreign races are kings, but the people are basically from the Central Plains, and there are more people who want to rebel there than the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Then the court doesn't care about these people?" Sun Xiaohong asked.
The old man of Tianji said with a smile: "The imperial court is too busy to take care of itself now, and it can't manage so much. ”
"Oh." Sun Xiaohong nodded as if she didn't understand.
"Let's go!"
The old man of Tianji said, glanced at the capital behind him, and said with emotion:
"Now this Daming Jianghu, dead and hiding, I'm afraid it will take many years to recover, let's go over there and see the masters of the Qing Dynasty martial arts, and by the way, I'm also over there, waiting for this rain friend to come."
Sun Xiaohong said "ah": "Will this factory master also go to the Qing Dynasty?" ”
The old man of Tianji smiled slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Yes, even if he is not interested in the Great Qing Martial Arts, it won't be long before he will go to the east......"
"Why did this factory master go to the east?" Sun Xiaohong was puzzled.
"When the time comes, you will know, not only this little friend, but also many people from all dynasties in this Shenzhou will go, and some people may even be in the east......"
The old man of Tianji said, as if he recalled a terrifying fragment, and a trace of fear subconsciously appeared in his eyes, and then he shook his head, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, but his mood was suddenly a little low.
Sun Xiaohong didn't notice the change in the mood of the old man Tianji, and still asked, "Since they are all going to the Qing Dynasty, why don't we go with Lu Daxia and Ximen Daxia?" ”
The old man Tianji shook his head and said: "They love to cause trouble too much, and there are a lot of troubles with them. ”
"Oh, got it......"
Sun Xiaohong said, her eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at the old man Tianji and said, "Grandpa, you were injured because you were too high-profile back then, so you have to keep a low profile now, I guess right?" ”
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched: "You guessed very right, don't guess next time." ”
The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed, and gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon.
The sand and dust are raised, facing the rising glow, and finally gradually painted into a colorful picture.
It's just that there are only two words on this picture scroll:
Rivers and lakes!
