Ren Pingsheng's restriction of Yunlongguan's preaching was not just because Tianyi did not help him enough, nor was he afraid that Tianyi would be difficult to control, let alone because he had an opinion on Taoism.

The root cause is because he thinks that this Qingyuan Daoist is not honest enough with him.

After this impression was planted, of course, the preaching of Yunlongguan would not receive the full support of Ren Pingsheng, and even in order to master the balance, Ren Pingsheng specially opened his support to the Yunyin Gate, which was easier to control and more helpful to him, which not only got a greater return, but also allowed him to completely get rid of his dependence on Tianyi in terms of extraordinary knowledge.

At this time, Qingyuan Daoist didn't know what Ren Pingsheng was thinking, and he was still lobbying Ren Pingsheng hard, wanting to establish Taoist temples across the country and worship the gods of nature, but he didn't see Ren Pingsheng's eyes becoming more and more impatient.

"Dao Chief, at the foot of Yunmen Mountain outside the city, choose a place to build a temple, and you can build a talisman soldier and let this king see the effect."

Ren Pingsheng did not hide his love and support for Yunmen, Qifeng City outside the gift of Yunmen as a small mountain of the mountain gate, he gave "Yunmen Mountain" and personally inscribed, under the mountain ordered the Ministry of Industry at that time to build an archway, all the people who climb the mountain, can see the King of Qi Mobao.

"Ah······h

When Qingyuan Daoist was full of expectations, he received this reply, and his heart was suddenly anxious.

"I like to keep my feet on the ground. If the effect meets my expectations, it can naturally be popularized throughout the country. ”

Ren Pingsheng said soothingly.

"Yes! Poor Dao understood. ”

Qingyuan Daoist said.

Seeing that Ren Pingsheng had never asked the female Dao behind him, he thought about the purpose of his trip, and took the initiative to introduce at this time: "Great King, this is Xia Yuan, a poor Daoist disciple, who is only twenty-two years old this year, has already practiced qi, and is proficient in the three methods of Fu Dao, inviting gods, and retreating. ”

"Not bad."

Ren Pingsheng glanced at Xia Yuan and commented.

"I want to protect the king!"

Qingyuan Daoist recommended and said.

Tianyi hopes that he can arrange his own people to the king's side, be able to grasp the king's likes and dislikes, and can also show more of the value of Tianyi's vein, and can also exert some influence on the king at some times.

Ren Pingsheng shook his head: "Such a talent, he will be named a Taoist official and be responsible for the construction of the Taoist Temple of Yunmen Mountain." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and gently blew the golden tea in the teacup, the tea fragrance was overflowing, and the aura was on his face.

This tea is still the tribute of Yunlongguan, harvested from a spiritual tea tree in Yunlong Mountain, the annual output is not much, it is the tea tree specially used by Yunlongguan to pay tribute.

"Alas!"

Qingyuan Daoist sighed lightly in his heart, seeing that the king did not have the slightest intention of leaving Xia Yuan, and seeing the king serving tea to the guests, he could only stand up and retire with Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

When Qingyuan Daoist stepped over the threshold, he suddenly heard a sentence from behind him that the king seemed to be talking to himself: "The heart is like a mirror, don't let the dust attach." Words are like chimes, don't make vanity sound. ”

Qingyuan Dao paused for a long time, and then walked away, walking through the palace, he kept pondering the meaning of the king's sentence in his heart.

He understood that it was a beating from the king.

When he left the palace, a shadow cast over his heart.

"Master, what did the Great Immortal Venerable mean by what he said just now?"

Xia Yuan also noticed the king's words, and he was puzzled, always feeling that he was advising them something.

"This is telling us to be consistent in our hearts and mouths, and we must not hide our actions."

Qingyuan Daoist said softly.

He had already figured out what the king meant.

It was precisely because he understood the meaning of these words that he felt even more troubled in his heart. The king thought that Tianyi had hidden something from him and was not honest enough, and once this impression was there, it would be very difficult to change it.

Because this is a very subjective view, if you want to correct the subjective perception of others, you need to spend too much thought and exquisite design.

And this Great King is too smart, and if he wants to change the perception of smart people, the difficulty in this is even greater—especially if they really have unspeakable secrets to hide from this Great Immortal Venerable.

He recalled the scene when he first came into contact with this king in secret when he was in Huashan Yuanjunguan.

Thinking that he was waiting for the price to sell at that time, he had already left an impression in King Qi's heart that he was "not honest enough".

This made him begin to regret his choice at the time.

"Then our Great Immortal Court ······"

Before Xia Yuan finished speaking, he saw the master's eyes sweeping sternly, and hurriedly stopped.

"Let's go, let's go back to the Taoist Temple first, and go to Yunmen Mountain early tomorrow morning to visit Master Su."

Qingyuan Dao Chang took the lead.

"Oh."

Xia Yuan followed behind him.

I thought that the king didn't want to be myself, and I was a little discouraged.

"Great Immortal Court?"

Ren Pingsheng sat upright on the chair, drinking tea and thinking about Xia Yuan's words just now.

"Just now, Qingyuan Old Dao seems to have sensed my telekinesis?"

He was a little unsure.

No one had ever been aware of his telepathic observation before.

However, this old way is really not honest enough.

Give you this chance, I hope you can take it. ”

Ren Pingsheng put down the teacup and walked out of Guoanzhai.

Tonight's moonlight is not very bright, but it looks like the sky is full of stars.

Stepping on the moonlight, he walked back to Qixing Hall.

saw Xiao Wan waiting in the courtyard.

"Still not asleep?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Young master, I'm waiting for you."

Xiao Wan smiled and said, "I went to Le Dao Hall just now and saw that my sister had already slept. ”

As she spoke, she leaned over, hugged Ren Pingsheng's arm, and said hintly.

Ren Pingsheng looked at her with soft eyes, but with flattery, his arm was gently forced, and he hugged her horizontally.

The body is delicate and soft, slender and moisturized.

At this time, the scenery brocade was turned over, and the spring night slept well.

In the second half of the night, the wind blew in Qifeng County.

In the following days, the north wind was bleak, the leaves were fluttering, and the weather was getting colder.

On this day, the envoy of the Yanzhao Group came to Qifeng County.

"Fourth son!"

The young man walked in front with a basket on his back, and more than a dozen men dressed as Jianghu people followed behind him.

He walked on the asphalt road of Qifeng City, stepping on the shallow white snow, making a "rustling" sound, looking left and right, looking at everything and feeling new and shocking.

Qi is militarily strong, which already makes him have a deep filter for Qi country. At this time, seeing that this city was full of things that he had never seen before, it made him feel the mystery and strength of the Qi country.

He couldn't get rid of the trap of the times, and his first reaction was to think about the abilities after the revival of the aura.

"That building, I've never seen it so tall in my life, how did the people of Qi build it, won't it fall?"

"This road, how to do it, it won't be muddy when it rains or snows, and if you walk on it, you're not afraid of heavy rain!"

"Those things called automobiles can run fast on their own without oxen and horses, wouldn't it be convenient to transport military supplies?"

"No wonder, no wonder the Qi country can completely defeat the Daru!"

The fourth prince is like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, and a pair of eyes are constantly observing greedily in Qifeng City.

After getting past the initial shock, he got the idea of stealing a teacher.

But no matter how he looks, he can only see the appearance. Some things seem to be understood, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is a castle in the air, and it will not work at all without the support of the "truth" inside.

As they walked, they crossed the Yunshui Bridge and entered the inner city.

The view of the inner city, on the contrary, gives them a sense of familiarity.

It wasn't until they arrived at the gate of the palace that they handed over Zhu Kan's papers.

When the document was handed to the secretariat, Huang Wenguang was full of surprise.

As one of today's powerful warlords, Zhu Kan sent an envoy to deliver a message of worship instead of going through official communication channels.

As mentioned in the post, he also calls himself a "subordinate" throughout the article, not like a warlord who leads the army, but like a general who leads the army of the Qi State.

After reading the post, Huang Wenguang already understood what Zhu Kan meant.

After verifying his identity and sending someone to take the fourth prince Zhu Qing to Zhongshu Pavilion to rest, he hurried to the Yuanhe Palace, found Ren Pingsheng who was reading the official documents, reported the matter, and after getting the approval, Xuan Zhuqing went to the Yuanhe Palace to meet him.

Ren Pingsheng was not in a hurry to the ministers, but only sent someone to inform Liu Qiang, who was far away in Jinshan County, and recruited Gao Men, chief of staff of the General Staff, and Lu Junyi, president of Qixing Group, to come to meet him.

"Junior Minister Zhu Qing, meet the king!"

After Zhu Qing entered the main hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and bowed.

"Calm down, you already know what you're coming for. General Zhu agreed to the conditions in principle. ”

is different from when negotiating with the Beiwan Group, for the Yanzhao Group, Ren Pingsheng did not play any twists and turns with them.

First, what Zhu Kan said in his letter is very clear, his words are sincere, and his conditions are kind. Now in wartime, I hope to defend the land for the Han people, and when the war is over, I am willing to unload my armor and return to the field, and obey the king's arrangement.

As the initiator of the united front against Daru, just because of the sentence "defend the Han land for the Han people", Qi State could not veto this cooperation and request for help on the surface.

The second is that Zhu Kan has a straightforward personality, and he does not have so many fancy intestines to play politics. Ren Pingsheng didn't need to talk to him about so many conditions.

The third is that this time is different from the past, the country of Qi is now in full swing, as long as the Dalu barbarians are defeated, the unification of the world in the future has become an irrepressible trend, and anyone who has a heart and eye can see this.

"Minister, thank you, the king!"

Zhu Qing thought that there was going to be a complicated negotiation, so he thought a lot about it along the way.

But I didn't expect this king to be so cool!

When he stood up, he couldn't help but peek at the king, intuitively he sat on the dragon chair, tall and majestic, more majestic than his father, making people feel like an emperor at a glance!

I feel in my heart that the goods have to be thrown away, people have to die compared to people, and the comparison between my father and others is simply the difference between a local chicken and a phoenix.

"However, the Qi army is under-strengthened, and the defense line is long and narrow. It is difficult to form a strong support for the battlefield between Yan Zhao and the barbarians. ”

Ren Pingsheng said.

"This ······"

Zhu Qing was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to say it.

General Zhu's letter was sincere and sincere, and he defended the Han land for the Han people and fought against the Dalu barbarians, which was the united front advocated by the Qi State, and the Qi State could not but support General Zhu.

But the ugly things need to be said first.

The state of Qi is now experiencing the battle of Yueyang, and the treasury is already empty.

At the same time, the defense line is extremely long, with a coastline of 18,000 miles in the four coastal provinces, and there are thieves and pirates at sea, and defense is needed everywhere; Caiyun Province and Yunjiang Province in the west are facing Yisheng, and the war friction continues; Yueyang County needs to hoard heavy troops to face the Daru people who are sharpening their swords and sending troops again at any time; In the newly occupied land of the country, there are also bandits, living corpses, and demons that need to be cleansed.

Soldiers must be used everywhere, money must be used everywhere, and difficulties must be used everywhere.

For General Zhu's support, it may not meet expectations. ”

Ren Pingsheng's words are very clear.

He did not mention Zhu Kan's claim to be a vassal of Qi State, nor did he say that Zhu Kan asked the King of Qi to issue an order to train Yan Zhao's army as the Fifth Route Army of Qi State.

Because, with today's situation, Ren Pingsheng no longer needs to pursue these nominal things.

On the contrary, the actual interests are more in line with the needs of the country.

At this time, Gao Men and Lu Junyi each brought people and Huang Wenguang together, and after the briefing, they took the entourage officials to the palace to ask for peace.

"Vice General Zhu, senior chief of staff of the General Staff of China's Ministry of National Defense, represents our military. This is Lu Junyi, president of Qixing Group, representing Qixing Group, an ordnance manufacturer. ”

Huang Wenguang introduced Zhu Qing and said.

"I've seen Chief of Staff Gao, and I've seen President Lu!"

The two sides saluted each other.

After Ren Pingsheng said a few words, he left the Yuanhe Hall and handed it over to Gao Men and Lu Junyi to play.

And Gaomen and Lu Junyi were explained when they came and understood the meaning of the king.

"I heard that in the army of Yan Zhao, General Zhu also trained a musket army of 20,000 people?"

After the two sides took their seats in the Yuanhe Palace, Gao Men asked first.

Zhu Qing pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know much about this, but there are military staff members who come with me, and they are very clear about these things. ”

He realized that although the king had already set the tone, negotiations were inevitable, and it was not possible to fight alone here, he had to call Yan Zhao's staff!

Huang Wenguang glanced at Lu Junyi and Gao Men, nodded, and sent someone to call the people brought by Zhu Qing together.

"This is Yan Zhao Military Master Dong Yunmao, who knows Yan Zhao Military well, if you have any questions, you can ask Dong Junshi."

After Zhu Qing introduced the two sides, he turned to the question that Gaomen had just asked.

Of course, he also knew this question, but he was just looking for an excuse to call all his own people over, but at this time, it was not easy to answer this question in person.

Dong Yunmao hurriedly saluted Huang Wenguang and the others: "Our army has indeed trained 25,000 firecrackers, but the production of firecrackers is extremely labor-intensive and costly, and the ignition is slow, the firing range is short, the accuracy is poor, and it is more often exploding.

The cost is extremely high and the effect is not great, and the more than 20,000 firecrackers have become chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon them tastelessly. ”

"This problem can be solved, Qi Jun can sell you a batch of flintlock pistols······"

Now, the Qi army did bring down a batch of old flintlock pistols and shotguns, about 30,000 pieces, which could just be used for foreign trade and sold to Zhu Kan as a support ally.

I stayed up late yesterday, and today I found that my eyes were red, itchy, painful and astringent┭┮_┭┮
