Chapter 55: Prestige Spreads, and Power Begins to Expand
In the morning haze, a glimmer of light pierced the sky.
The earth still bears the coolness of the night rain, but the sun has begun to spread warmly on the earth, reflecting the horizon in a thousand ways.
With the sound of a trumpet, the Wei army under Cen Xiu began to walk out of the tent, busy and orderly preparing for departure.
"Go back to Anyi!"
Cen Xiu, riding a tall war horse, walked out of the camp and gave the order to return.
This time, it was only to avoid being hit hard by Zhao Guo Haoran Sect's core figures, and the strategic transfer was carried out, and now Anyi is actually still under their control, and it has not been completely handed over.
And after a big battle last night, the biggest threat to the Zhao State has been dissipated, and the Zhengyi Gate Master has also arrived in the Zhao Kingdom, there is no need for them, and there is no reason for them to spit out the meat they ate again.
"Sect Master Wei, then let's say goodbye. I hope that the Wei Sect Master will bring my words to King Wu and General Wu Qi, and the territory of Hedong still needs to cooperate with each other. ”
Cen Xiu drove the horse to Zhao Hongming and said respectfully.
Zhao Hongming nodded and said, "I know, General Cen is doing well." ”
Cen Xiu hugged his fists and whipped to keep up with the returning team.
"Drive!"
After a night of pranayama and recuperation, under the repair of immortality, Zhao Hongming's injuries have recovered.
Seeing Cen Xiu and the others leaving, he exhaled lightly a breath of turbidity, ran the [Desolate Secret Walk], and his figure suddenly disappeared in place, chasing in the direction where Wu Qi left.
Wu Qi and other troops led nearly 30,000 Wei warriors to divide into two routes and return to Wei from the other two directions of Anyi.
They set off at the same time as Cen Xiu, and they were not too far from Zhao Hongming's location.
On the way, Zhao Hongming was preoccupied.
In fact, he only learned one or two things about the inability of the national fortune to live forever in the ancient tomb of the Yin Kingdom, and there were no other clues.
Last night, in order to deal with Bi Lingjun, he gave a conclusion randomly, and he didn't know if it would cause him other trouble.
Speaking of which, the message left by the last emperor of the Yin State contradicts the ancestral teachings inherited from their royal family.
He couldn't tell which of the two was true and who was false.
But one thing is guaranteed, the involvement must be deeper than he imagined, involving some hidden secrets.
It's a pity that this specific relevant record is only clear to Emperor Jian'an.
If he wants to understand this plate, it is estimated that he can only know a thing or two when he ascends to that position.
If you want to know now, it's very difficult.
Zhao Hongming sighed in his heart, [Secret Walk] was urged by him to the extreme, and his figure flickered in the void.
The autumn wind howled, blowing his robes with a hunting sound.
Zhao Hongming's body was vigorous, like a meteor, drawing a graceful trajectory in the air, and he moved away from the original place almost instantly, leaving only a faint afterimage.
In the process of traveling, he used his immortal intentions from time to time to repair his body's injuries and fatigue.
After almost an hour of chasing, Zhao Hongming's figure flashed and landed in a clearing.
Not far away, Wei Wushu led by Wu Qi appeared in his field of vision.
With a slight tap of his toes, Zhao Hongming soared into the air as lightly as a bird, flying in the direction of Wu Qi.
Wu Qi was instantly alert.
He was clutching the long knife hanging from his waist when a familiar voice came from behind him.
"It's the king!"
"Your Highness!"
Wu Qi was surprised, and his tense nerves couldn't help but relax.
There was a carriage in the ranks, which was claimed to be the frame of Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Sect, to confuse the public.
Now after Zhao Hongming returned to the team, he directly drilled in.
In the carriage, there was a lifelike "Wei Wuji" meditating cross-legged as if he was cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes and said majestically: "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He's got his hands on it.
The figure of "Wei Wuji" in front of him slowly dissipated, revealing a sleek triangular array flag inside.
This is the arrangement he made casually in the carriage when he left, to prevent emergencies.
Seeing that the brilliance on the array flag is brand new, no one should have entered his carriage.
Zhao Hongming waved his sleeves and sat on the ground in the carriage.
He blocked the curtain and asked, "Let General Wu come to me." ”
The soldiers guarding outside the carriage were summoned by Zhao Hongming and immediately nodded yes.
After a while, Wu Qi hurried over: "Sect Master, are you looking for me?" ”
"General Wu, come in and talk."
Wu Qi saw that Zhao Hongming had something to talk to him about, so he immediately agreed with a straight face: "Okay." ”
The carriage was half a man tall.
Wu Qi supported the carriage with his left hand, and then with a little force, he gently flipped it over and walked into the carriage.
"General Wu, sit."
Zhao Hongming stretched out his hand and pointed.
Wu bowed his head and knelt down in the carriage.
I saw Zhao Hongming take out two penangular flags in the palm of his hand, throw them away, and arrange a ban in the carriage to prevent people from peeping.
After doing this, Zhao Hongming relaxed a little and asked, "General Wu, the road is going well, right?" ”
Wu Qi clasped his fists and replied: "Back to His Highness, everything is going well, except for some small thieves along the way, I have not encountered attacks from other forces in Zhao State." ”
"That's good." Zhao Hongming said: "Now that the Haoran Sect Master has been defeated by me, you can directly return to Anyi to assist General Cen in defense." ”
Wu Qi's whole body was suddenly shocked, and he fell into an unparalleled shock.
He didn't expect that Zhao Hongming had actually defeated the Sect Master of Haoran Sect.
In his cognition, Sect Master Haoran was one of the strongest martial artists in the world, and defeating him, wouldn't it mean that Zhao Hongming had also entered this ranks?
How is this possible?
Wu Qi only felt that his mouth was dry for a while, and his spiritual world was greatly impacted.
He knew that His Highness had never liked to talk big, and it was basically a fact to say it so directly.
Before, he felt that Zhao Hongming's future was limitless, so he took refuge without hesitation, wanting to make a possibility.
Now it seems that he is not just hugging his thighs, he is simply a giant thigh.
Wu Qi was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Hongming continued: "General Cen Xiu told you to only defend and stop attacking the city for the time being. As he said, judging from our current strength, capturing the thirty cities east of the Zhao River is already the limit, and it is difficult to make any achievements with the troops that will be apportioned. ”
Wu Qi raised his head and asked, "Then after occupying the thirty cities of Zhao Kingdom, what should we do next?" ”
"Wait for news from the king." Zhao Hongming said softly: "The rest of the matter needs to be mediated between the courtiers, but the advantage is ours, the city that has been won, if it is not necessary, don't give up." ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, even if the meat is rotten, I will let it be in the pot." Wu Qi's expression became serious: "Is Your Highness going to act with us next?" ”
"No, Bi Daoshou of Zhengyimen has already arrived in Hedong City, and this king doesn't know if she will stay in Ying County. At the moment, there should be no major events on the Hedong side, and it will not be of much use if this king stays here, so he needs to go back to Yingjun to deal with one or two. You will wait for the king's news. ”
Wu Qi said: "The last general understands. ”
At this time, Zhao Hongming suddenly remembered something, and joked with a smile: "By the way, General Wu, you will soon be a veritable general of Wei." ”
"Your Highness is ......" Wu Qi's face was happy.
Zhao Hongming said: "Yes, an edict has been issued in the imperial court, appointing you as the right general of Wei State, and the edict has arrived in Luling." ”
Hearing this news, the excitement on Wu Qi's face could no longer be suppressed, and he knelt down and bowed: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, Wu Qi is willing to go to the soup for His Highness, and he will never give up." ”
"Get up, this is what General Wu deserves."
Zhao Hongming instructed: "The rest of the matter will be handed over to General Wu, and this king will return to Ying County first." ”
"Okay, Your Highness, I'll send some people to escort you all the way."
"No, this king is now using two identities, and there are many people, so it's not very convenient." Zhao Hongming rejected Wu Qi's proposal.
Wu Qi said curiously: "Your Highness, do you want to use your identity as the leader of the Ming Sect all the time?" ”
"It is estimated that in the New Year, when the strength of this king is raised again, the identity of this cover will be unnecessary, and then everyone in the world will know that the Martial King is Wei Wuji, and Wei Wuji is the Martial King, and now is not the time."
After a battle with the Haoran Sect Master last night, Zhao Hongming realized that his combat power was far stronger than he thought.
Under the continuous breakthrough of the [Heavenly Dao Reward for Diligence] martial arts attribute panel, his realm will grow predictably.
At that time, he will be full-fledged, and even if someone finds him unusual, his general trend has been achieved, and there is no helpless him.
Hearing Zhao Hongming's words, Wu Qi only felt his eyelids jump.
The strength has to be raised a little more......
Listening to His Highness's words, breaking through the bottleneck of the realm was as simple as drinking water for him, as if there was no difficulty.
In front of Zhao Hongming, he couldn't help but have some doubts that he might be a waste.
After chatting about some details, Wu Qi left the carriage and led the team back to Anyi, while Zhao Hongming also parted ways with them and rushed to Yingjun.
At this moment, for some reason, the news of the defeat of the Ming Sect Leader Wei Wuji over the Haoran Sect Master spread quickly in the Zhao Kingdom as if someone was secretly pushing it.
It caused an uproar in the whole area.
Its speed was so fast that the Haoran Sect did not expect it.
"Have you heard? The Haoran Sect Master was defeated, and he also lost two elders one after another. ”
In a teahouse in Handan City, many people gathered to discuss the explosive news.
"Hiss......"
The sound of gasping in the teahouse came and went.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Don't you all know, hey, it was Wei Wuji, the sect leader of the Ming Sect, who defeated the Haoran Sect Master......"
A young man dressed in a brown short fight "described" the story of Zhao Hongming's battle as if he was telling a story, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which made everyone in the teahouse scream again and again.
Youwu lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Who do you think is the Ming Sect Master?" ”
"I don't know, if he can defeat the Haoran Sect Master, no matter how he says it, he should be at the level of the Nine Grades of Martial Courage, but such a person can't hear any news at all. It's weird. ”
"Hey, from today onwards, I'm afraid that the top ten martial arts rankings in the world are going to move, haven't you found this opportunity?"
"What chance?"
"Mingjiao!"
"Mingjiao?"
"You think, this Wei Wuji is starting to become famous now, so as a disciple of the Ming Sect, he will definitely benefit a lot, and if he joins in early at this time, he may be able to eat some meat, if it is a little later, he will not be able to drink the soup."
"In my opinion, it is better to join the Ming Sect than to join Wei Wushu. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wei Wuji and King Wu are wearing a pair of pants. Wei Wushu is also a member of the Ming Sect, and the benefits of joining Wei Wushu are obviously greater. ”
"Wei Wushu must be from Mingjiao, but Mingjiao is not necessarily Wei Wushu."
Now in Handan City, it is no secret that Wei Wushu is no secret, and their relationship with Mingjiao is also clear.
As soon as this remark came out, it instantly aroused everyone's approval.
Wei Wushu and Wei Wuji appeared in the eyes of the world one after another, and unconsciously attracted the attention of countless martial artists.
As a result, there were many martial artists who traveled together, and they continued to rush towards Yingjun, which formed a sharp contrast with the displaced people who migrated from the south of Wei to Zhao.
At the same time.
Outside the Mingjiao Tiger Hall in Luling City, countless martial artists gathered at the door of the Tiger Hall to ask about the requirements for joining the Mingjiao, which made He Jinlong, Pei Zhaoan and other Ming Church masters scramble.
They had never faced such a battle.
Every day, there are hundreds of martial artists who come to join the Ming Sect, and the number of people is still increasing, which makes them anxious.
Fortunately, they had already drafted the simple requirements for joining the school, and there was a basic process for personnel screening, so they would not be completely unable to deal with it.
In fact, Mingjiao was just a shell of Wei Wushu's selection of martial artists.
Many martial artists who want to join the Ming Sect can see this.
Most of the promotion conditions, the encouragement of the exercises and the Wish Stone, Wei Wushu is much stronger than the Ming Sect.
After these martial artists successfully joined the Ming Sect, they did not hesitate to choose to sign up for Wei Wushu after a little understanding.
"You're an Innate Realm martial artist, are you sure you want to join Wei Wushu?"
"Isn't that possible?"
"That's not either." A disciple of the Ming Sect who was in charge of recruiting Wei Wushu directly took out a pen and paper and pointed to the small table on the side and said, "Please go and register your name, age, cultivation realm, and martial arts that you are good at." ”
"By the way, I want to remind you in advance that before joining Wei Wushu, you need to study the teachings of the Ming Sect for a month, and then you can join through the selection of Wei Wushu, and once you join Wei Wushu, you can't leave at will, otherwise, you will be decided."
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. I don't need to say that, I know that. ”
Takeo took a pen and paper and quickly filled in his information and handed it in.
During this time, the people in the various halls of the Ming Sect, after a little counting, gradually found that the number of martial artists who joined Wei Wushu had reached 10,000, and this number continued to increase. (End of chapter)
