In an alley in Luling, a burly figure walked out of it, and it was Zhao Hongming who looked like "Wei Wuji".

At this time, the curfew in Luling City was about to start, and the vendors on the street began to close their stalls.

Pedestrians on the streets are either hurrying out of the city or hurrying to their accommodations in the city.

Now in Luling City, after his many mergers of martial arts forces, the law and order have been much better.

But even so, Luling City is still mixed, and the public security situation is still relatively complicated.

In order to maintain public safety, Zhang Yi specially implemented this system.

During the curfew, people are not allowed to walk around the streets of the city, except for those with special permissions.

Therefore, Tang Zai also hurried to leave Wanhualou before the curfew, otherwise he would be subject to strict interrogation.

This made it easy for Zhao Hongming to find Tang Zai's traces.

Coupled with the time to do it, in the end, he only used dozens of breaths of kung fu to beat this innate nine-grade martial artist to death on the street.

The martial artist of the innate nine grades was simply vulnerable in front of him.

This was done when he had only used the power of his pure physical body, and had not yet used the Fa Phase.

After the Thunder Shattering Law Body broke through to the Innate Body, all of its power was concentrated on the physical body.

At this time, his skin has become extremely hard, even without any martial arts, ordinary sharp weapons can hardly hurt him in the slightest.

Each shot carries the power of thunder, which has a paralyzing effect.

The martial artist under the realm of martial arts, he has no chance of surviving at all, and he will die as soon as he fights.

And Zhao Hongming also found that the Thunder Destruction Body practiced by the Thunder Destruction Law Body, under the continuous refining of the Thunder True Intent, his internal organs and six internal organs have been greatly strengthened, and the production speed of the True Intent and Qi and Blood of the whole body is faster than before.

It is worthy of the immortal martial arts.

He couldn't help but look forward to the performance of the Thunder Destruction Method in the Martial Courage Realm later.

Zhao Hongming waved his sleeves, dusted off his body, as if he felt that he was just doing a trivial thing, and walked in the direction of Wuwang's Mansion, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

……

In the study, Shu Ziteng sat on a chair.

In front of him was a small stove with a crockpot above it, boiling pickles and stewed tofu.

The delicious soup inside is constantly tumbling at the temperature of the charcoal fire, and the mouth-watering aroma is bubbling.

"Eating this pickled vegetable and rolling tofu on a cold day is really a great pleasure in life."

Shu Ziteng took a piece of tofu with chopsticks, fanned it with his palm and put it in his mouth, picked up a glass of sake and took a sip, revealing a comfortable look.

Bang bang bang.

He was enjoying himself when there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Who?"

Shu Ziteng shouted with a displeased face.

"My lord, it's me."

A man's voice came from the door, and Shu Ziteng suddenly frowned.

This is another spy in his hand, named Zheng Yunqiang.

Because of his average ability, he was sent out to be an idle person, running errands and doing some odd jobs.

Seeing that he was down to business, Shu Ziteng put down the chopsticks in his hand, walked quickly to the back of the door, and opened the door with a latch.

"It's curfew now, what are you doing with me?" Shu Ziteng glanced Zheng Yunqiang up and down, his face a little displeased.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened." Zheng Yunqiang hurriedly said: "Lord Tang, he was beaten to death. ”

He spoke quickly, with a little surprise and shock as he spoke.

Tang Zai's cultivation is an innate nine grades, and it is an existence that can build a mountain here in Yingjun, and it has a great status in the Haoran Sect of Zhao State.

In his mind, he is a high-ranking figure.

But I didn't expect to be killed so hastily.

Shu Ziteng's eyes suddenly widened, and his voice was raised: "What? Who did it? ”

"I don't know." Zheng Yunqiang shook his head and said, "At the time of the incident, there was no one around. ”

Shu Ziteng forced himself to calm down quickly.

Tang Zai can gain a firm foothold in the Haoran Sect and rank among the inner gates, he must have two brushes.

If you want to kill him, it is estimated that you have to be a martial artist of the Innate Nine Grades and even the Martial Courage Realm.

Such a master looks at Luling City, and there are only a few people.

Is it the leader of the Ming Sect?

Shu Ziteng couldn't help but guess.

"Have you seen how Tang Zai died?"

"I was killed by two punches, one punch shattered my right arm, and the other punch pierced my chest, and my heart was shattered." Zheng Yunqiang recalled: "I was afraid of being exposed, so I didn't dare to get too close, and I observed it from a distance, and I could only know so much. ”

"Two punches?"

Shu Ziteng chuckled in his heart.

A martial artist of the ninth grade of congenital was killed with two punches?

Such a power must be in the realm of martial arts.

In the past, there were still Chen Shenghai in Luling and several martial arts realms, but now they are all dead, and only that one is left.

There is no doubt that he is the leader of the Ming Sect.

But why would he do it to Tang?

Is there something missing?

Shu Ziteng didn't know.

However, Tang Zai's death has nothing to do with him, and he has little responsibility, so he doesn't have to be too anxious, as long as he reports what happened here to Shangfeng in time.

Have your own peak to get a headache.

Besides, if it is really the initiative of the Mingjiao Sect, such a top martial artist, he has no way, he can't help the other party, and it is useless to think too much.

Now that Tang Zai is dead, the spies of the beautiful woman in his hands don't have to take risks, they can continue to lurk and wait for the time to be used.

Shu Ziteng didn't know why, he felt that Tang Zai was quite good when he died, and he felt a sense of relief.

With an expression on his face, he hurriedly sent a message to the beautiful woman in the Martial King's Mansion.

Late at night, the beautiful woman in the Wuwang Mansion was still tossing and turning.

She lay on the bed, staring at the roof with a pair of large, charming eyes, and said nothing.

When she thought that her life was short, she couldn't help but feel sad.

She's still young, and she hasn't lived long enough.

At this moment, the beautiful woman heard a familiar movement in the window, and her spirit tensed, and she looked in the direction of the window.

At some point, there was a black bird in the window, pecked off a piece of jade with its beak the size of a fingernail and placed it on the gap in the window, flapping its wings and flying away.

It's the mission that came from above.

The beautiful woman walked cautiously over, and without alarming the others, picked up the small jade piece in the crack in the window.

She pressed the small jade piece to the center of her eyebrows.

The words "lurking" and "canceling" came to her mind.

Suddenly, the beautiful woman was overjoyed, and instantly had the illusion of the rest of her life, and her face couldn't help but pile up a smile.

She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and with her fingers she pressed it, pinched it into powder, and carefully sprinkled it in the hallway outside the window.

The beautiful woman twisted her hips back to bed and soon fell asleep.

……

A few days later, the news of Tang Zai's death in Luling City soon spread back to the Haoran Sect of Zhao State, causing the dissatisfaction of the Haoran Sect.

"What kind of crack in the stone did this Mingjiao Wei Wuji jump out of, it's really bold. I can let him know how powerful our Haoran Sect is. Senior Brother Li, what do you think? ”

In one of the chambers of the Haoran Sect, many elders gathered together to discuss Tang's death.

Their eyes all fell on a man with crane hair and a childish face.

This person's name is Li Zixu, he is Tang Zai's master, and he is already a martial arts cultivator in his 100s, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

When he heard the news of his beloved's death, he did not become angry as expected, but sat quietly in his chair and remained silent.

"General Li Mu is secretly recruiting a large army, and our first target is Yingjun. Now is the critical moment, and I think it's better not to make a fuss. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show a little surprise at Li Zixu, but they didn't expect Li Zixu to be so calm.

"It's still Senior Brother Li who is really calm and can endure for the sake of big things. No wonder the senior brother in charge has always praised Senior Brother Li. ”

Li Zixu shook his head and said: "I am similar to all the junior disciples in my heart, after all, it is my disciple who has spent a lot of effort to teach, and it is impossible to say that there is no anger at all." In fact, I have a lot of anger in my heart, and I want to avenge my beloved disciple, but even revenge can't bring my apprentice back to life. ”

"Instead of being so willful, it is better to find a way to assist Li Mu to take down Yingjun in one fell swoop, plough the court and sweep the holes, which is the right way."

"Senior brother has a point."

"Next, we will discuss the cooperation with General Li Mu next year. I have found out in the ancient books that the seal of the national fortune of the Yin Kingdom is in the royal tomb in Ying County, which is related to the future of our Haoran Sect, and it must be obtained. ”

……

A month later, the long, cold winter of Ying County is coming.

At such a time, Yingjun, which is on the border of Wei, has no beautiful scenery.

The ground is yellow.

The tree is withered.

The sky is often overcast.

Even the wind was cold.

In such a season, if there is no important matter, most people will be willing to stay at home and will not want to go out.

Luling City is less noisy than before.

Only those who are forced to make ends meet or pursue a future have to move around.

Gao Yanshi, who was wearing a felt hat, rushed back to the Wuwang Mansion from outside, he walked into the palace, took off the felt hat and patted it in his hand, and brought it back again, but walked in the direction of the practice room.

After a while, he walked to the door of the practice room and shouted, "Your Highness, the slave is back. ”

"Enter!"

Zhao Hongming's loud voice came from the room.

Gao Yanshi answered, pushed the door and entered.

As soon as he entered the practice room, Gao Yanshi only felt that a heat wave was sweeping in.

In the center of the practice room, Zhao Hongming stood in the middle of the practice room, his upper body naked, and his well-proportioned muscles were steaming with cyan breath, and the heat was churning, like a furnace.

This hot qi is the result of the boiling of qi and blood in the whole body after a lot of martial arts practice.

After exercising a lot with ordinary people, it is a truth that they will feel hot and sweaty.

However, the qi and blood contained in the martial arts are much more vigorous, and after intense practice, they will emit more calories than ordinary people.

Even so, something like Zhao Hongming is really rare.

Zhao Hongming turned around and asked, "Did you find out on Zhao Guo's side?" ”

Gao Yanshi bowed his head and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Zhao Hongming raised his chin and motioned for him to continue.

Gao Yanshi understood, bowed his head and said, "The slave has already inquired that Li Mu of Zhao State is indeed already recruiting the army and secretly preparing grain and grass. This matter was actually promoted by Haoran Sect in secret, and the royal family of Zhao State did not participate much. ”

"Haoran Sect?" Zhao Hongming asked: "Is the Zhao royal family's control of the country weak to this extent now?" ”

"It's already too late, a little more than His Highness thinks." Gao Yanshi continued: "Now the families and martial arts forces in various parts of the Zhao Kingdom are still nominally the children of the Zhao Imperial Family, but in fact, they have all occupied their own territories as kings. Even in the court, King Zhao's rights have been hollowed out. ”

"The military generals are mainly Li Mu and Pang Hao, the Li family and the Pang family behind them have become bigger, and the civil officials have been divided by many ancient families, and there are many martial arts forces."

Zhao Hongming said: "In this case, this King Zhao is just the nominal king, and he has been reduced to a tool man for the Wish Stone." ”

It is no wonder that they, as a big country, are slow to respond in all aspects of the six countries.

Zhao Hongming sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but feel that it was not easy for Zhao Fuxu, his own father, to control the court under such circumstances and make a group of people willing to follow him.

Gao Yanshi said: "Exactly. I also heard from Zhao Guo's side that this time Li Mu led the army, and Haoran Sect had a lot of support, and recently Luling City has poured in many martial artists from Haoran Sect's extremely subordinate forces. ”

"Send more people to keep an eye on it, and if you don't have enough manpower, let the guards support."

Gao Yanshi nodded in response.

Zhao Hongming was solemn and felt that there would inevitably be a tough battle next year: "You go back and sort out the information you investigated in Zhao State, and this king plans to report this matter to his father and the emperor, so that he can give more support." ”

"In addition, you can discuss with Zhang Yi and prepare some false information to show the enemy weakness." Zhao Hongming said casually: "For example, Yingjun has taken in too many homeless people, and the grain depot is in an emergency, or the martial arts power is too serious, the loss of martial arts is serious, and the defense of Luling is empty, etc., find an opportunity to shake it to that beautiful woman in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. The minions made a note of it. ”

Zhao Hongming said: "You have been running all the way these days, and it has been really hard, go back and rest early." In addition, don't slack off on martial arts cultivation, you still have to bring up your cultivation as soon as possible, and it would be better to take charge of it as soon as possible. ”

"His Royal Highness Xie cares, and the slave will definitely cultivate seriously." Gao Yanshi bowed and saluted: "The slave will retire first." ”

After looking at Gao Yanshi's departure, Zhao Hongming's consciousness moved, and he evoked the [Heavenly Dao Reward for Diligence] martial arts cultivation panel, which displayed the results of his cultivation during this time.

It seems that we still have to hurry up and cultivate.
