Zhao State, Imperial Palace.

"The defeat of the Haoran Sect Master this time has a great impact on my Zhao State, and if it is serious, it may shake the stable situation of the martial arts forces of my Zhao State for more than ten years."

"This is completely caused by Li Mu, if it weren't for his desperate gamble, my Zhao Kingdom would not have suffered such a big defeat, and even Hedong would have almost lost it."

"It's a shame that my Zhao Kingdom can't even reach the Great Wei, please punish Li Mu."

Above the court, some courtiers began to attack Li Mu under the instruction of Pang Hao.

In fact, everyone who knows that it is the Haoran Sect that really wants to do it behind this.

It just so happened that Li Mu also wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand his influence in the court, and Haoran Sect had been standing behind Li Mu, so the two immediately hit it off and made such a play.

Haoran Sect was powerful in the territory of Zhao State.

They don't have the courage to attack Haoran Sect for the time being, but they still have the courage to take the opportunity of defeat to put all the sins on Li Mu's body.

Emperor Zhao Guocheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, showed an embarrassed expression again, and subconsciously looked at the side where Li Mu was originally standing.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What about General Li Mu, why didn't you come to the early court today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, General Li Mu has fallen ill at home, and he is ill, so he can't come."

Although Emperor Zhao Guocheng Xiang is not strong, he is not a pure fool.

Li Mu's cultivation has reached the level of martial arts and gall, how can he be sick?

This is clearly just an excuse for him.

But if he knows, he can't really poke Li Mu's fig leaf above the court, otherwise they will be ugly to each other in the end.

Emperor Zhao Guocheng looked at the courtiers who looked like they were about thirty years old and said, "Lin Yushi, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Yushi, who was named by him, stood up and said, "In my opinion, General Li Mu can't be completely blamed for this incident?" ”

"Oh? Why? Emperor Zhao Guocheng asked.

Lin Yushi said unhurriedly: "Because the real blame is actually the Black Clothes Society." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guo's originally calm court immediately became noisy.

Although the Black Clothes Society is up to people, it is actually in the camp of Pang Luxury.

This is Li Mu's side leading the water to the east.

A minister belonging to Pang Hao's camp stood up and said, "Lin Pifu, are you talking nonsense? It's obviously Li Mu who is arrogant and his skills are not as good as others, what is the matter with the Black Clothes Society? ”

Lin Yushi said unhurriedly: "The key factors for General Li Mu to suffer such a big defeat lie in Wei Wushu, in the martial king of Yingjun, and in the leader of the Ming Sect. ”

"Now let's look back and look at it, among them, Wei Wushu is the best elite in the world, and the Black Clothes Society, as an espionage agency, knows nothing, who is to blame for this?"

"Although King Wu of Yingjun is rumored to be not favored and concerned by Emperor Wei, he is a prince that no one cares about, but now in retrospect, he can integrate his subordinate forces. In just half a year in Ying County, the complex martial arts forces of Ying County were abolished and unified, is this something that an ordinary prince can do? ”

Not to mention, such a prince also gave the title of "Wu". The Black Coat Society doesn't even know anything about the details, so who are they to blame? ”

"The last Ming Sect Leader Wei Wuji, this person has a mysterious origin, his combat power has surpassed that of the Haoran Sect Master, and in a short period of time, Wei has two martial artists whose combat power can reach the ninth rank of martial arts. And from beginning to end, our Zhao Guo also didn't know about it, who should blame them for not blaming them? ”

Lin Yushi continued: "Your Majesty, this battle is not entirely General Li Mu's sin, and the problem of the Black Clothes Society must at least bear half of the responsibility. ”

His words were sonorous and powerful, and they were well-founded, so when he finished speaking, Zhao Guochao was instantly silent.

Even Pang Yu's courtiers who had refuted just now were a little stunned, and it took him a while to react, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lin Yushi is excusing Li Mu's crime!" Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

Emperor Zhao Guocheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also suppressed by Lin Yushi's words at this time.

He smacked his mouth twice and said, "Then Wei Wushu, Martial King, is the Ming Sect Leader really so powerful?" ”

Lin Yushi puffed up his chest and said: "It is a little more powerful than what Weichen said, especially the martial king among them, you have to pay great attention, I think that among the princes of Wei State, none of them can do it to his level." This person must be hiding his secrets. ”

Seeing that his subordinates had been defeated, Pang Hao took the initiative to step forward and said, "Why should Lin Yushi increase the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition. However, as Lin Yushi said, the defeat of Zhao Wei in the war this time is inseparable from the Black Clothes Society, and His Majesty is requested to punish the people of the Black Clothes Society to correct the royal style. ”

"Ah......" Emperor Zhao Guocheng Xiang was taken aback.

Is this black-clothed society a martial arts force, or does it belong to Pang Hao's side, and letting him punish him is simply roasting him on the fire rack.

He hurriedly said: "This matter is very important, Rong Zhen will consider it carefully." That's all for today, retreat. ”

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhao Guocheng hurriedly stood up, and with the support of his personal eunuch, he quickly left, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

After Emperor Zhao Guocheng left, the ministers in the court instantly became lively again.

Pang Hao walked in front of Lin Yushi Lin and said coldly: "Yushi's speech is really sharp, I, Pang Mou, have seen it today." ”

Lin Yushi Lin said with neither humility nor arrogance: "I'm just talking about things." ”

"Humph!"

Pang Hao flicked his sleeves and walked quickly away from the court.

……

On the wide dirt road outside Jinyin City, a carriage came unhurriedly from a distance.

The wheels rolled on the sand with a dull sound.

"Drive!"

The coachman steered the carriage steadily, waving his whip from time to time to drive the carriage forward.

The bronze luan bells hanging at the four corners of the carriage swayed wildly with the bumps of the carriage, making a rapid dingdong sound.

Zhao Hongming sat cross-legged in the carriage, silently running the Eight Desolations Immortal Gong to repair the injuries in his body.

There is no doubt about the ability of the Eight Desolations to repair the body, and during this period of time, even the trauma to the internal organs has been fine.

But the damage to the soul is a bit troublesome, and it takes a little time and thought.

Zhao Hongming's heart moved, and he moved a thought, mobilizing the qi, blood and true intention of his whole body.

The ocean of qi and blood in the body flowed out.

The muscles of his long arms began to tense and expand under the abundance of qi and blood, and then bulged up layer by layer, revealing a sense of tenacious strength and a thick body.

With each breath, his chest seemed to be burning with blood, exuding an indescribable aura.

Suddenly, his brow tightened, and he felt a pain from the depths of his soul, like a tidal wave that pounded into his heart.

It's an injury to the soul.

Zhao Hongming endured the discomfort of his divine soul, and at the same time operated the Eight Desolation Immortal Gong and the Thunder Destruction Law Body.

He was sweating like rain, soaking his clothes and hair, but he still didn't mean to stop.

A moment later, cyan true intent condensed from the void and gathered behind him.

"Knot!"

Zhao Hongming broke off in his heart.

The cyan true meaning behind him seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and began to condense towards the shape of a person.

But after a certain point, it collapsed with a bang.

"Still can't do it." Zhao Hongming sighed and said: "It seems that you can only rely on water grinding kung fu, and the next time will slowly recuperate." The martial arts of the nine grades of martial arts are really terrifying. ”

At present, he is only a martial arts three-grade cultivator, and he has not crossed the five-grade moat, and there is no way to use many mysterious means.

This time against Zhao Guo, after defeating the Haoran Sect Master, it can be regarded as a punch, so as not to come with a hundred punches.

The rest of the work can be left to the people below to wrap it up.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, there will no longer be anyone who will not offend Ying Jun again or beat him for a long time.

And he can also take advantage of this time to recuperate and heal his injuries, and at the same time, he must also improve his cultivation as much as possible.

Zhao Hongming simply sorted out the general things that need to be done next.

He exhaled lightly and stopped exercising.

The cyan true intent suspended around him gradually dissipated into the void.

Zhao Hongming opened his mouth and asked, "Where are we now?" ”

The driver of the car was shocked, and replied respectfully: "Sect Master, we are about to arrive in Jinyin City." ”

"Oh."

Zhao Hongming pulled the curtain and looked over.

The outline of Jinyin City in the distance had already appeared in his sight.

The ancient city walls look mottled and old in the sun.

The rice in the fields outside the city has been harvested, and the bare rice fields show a golden yellow in the sun, and sometimes the stalks of some of the remaining rice can be seen gently swaying in the wind.

A woman and a child carrying a bamboo basket on their backs, followed by two children leaning over to pick up the newborn ears of rice in the harvested rice field.

After a great battle, Jinyin City quickly recovered its vitality and did not completely decline because of his use of troops.

Zhao Hongming was a little surprised.

He silently lowered the curtain of the carriage and followed the carriage towards the Jinyin City Gate little by little.

Zhao Hongming ordered: "You don't have to go into the city, go back, and I can go there by myself." ”

The horseman who drove the car hesitated and said, "Sect Master, General Wu, why did they ask me to send you to the Yamen?" ”

"I left a wish stone and three taels of silver, and you can take care of it yourself."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Hongming's figure came out of the carriage in a flash, the cuffs flicked, revealing the silk white sleeves, and disappeared from the frame in an instant.

The driver of the carriage felt only a slight tremor as if it had unloaded a heavy object.

He looked back, stretched out his hand and opened the car door, but there was no one inside except for a wishing stone and three taels of silver.

And he didn't see Zhao Hongming from beginning to end.

The coachman stopped the carriage and horses, walked in and put away the silver and other things, and said to himself: "Alas, there is no way, since the sect leader has said so, then I can only go back and resume my life." ”

He turned his horse and returned the way he had come.

Outside Jinyin City, Zhao Hongming's long hair flowed like a black cloud, fluttering in the wind, reflecting his vigorous figure.

The bluestone under his feet was swept by him, and the aftermath behind him rolled up, as if his speed had long exceeded the cognition of ordinary people.

This time, he rushed back from Anyi, Hedong, all the way, with twists and turns in the middle, and it took him five days before and after.

This Jinyin City has changed a lot from when he left.

Zhao Hongming's heart moved, he hid his appearance, and successfully entered Jinyin City with some identity copper leads.

As soon as he entered Jinyin City, he found that he didn't know when there were many more martial artists in the city all of a sudden.

When he inquired a little, many of them came from Zhao and Qi, and he was a little surprised.

During this time, he spent most of his time on the front lines, and he was a little unclear about these changes that were taking place behind him.

Zhao Hongming had doubts, and did not stay in the city, but went directly to his palace in Jinyin.

In the temporary palace of Jinyin City, Gao Yanshi, who had returned early, stood guard at the door as usual, pacing back and forth, constantly looking around.

The servant beside him said, "Father-in-law Gao, you have been standing all day today, do you want to take a break?" ”

"The miscellaneous family's body bones are not so weak, you go and do your business." Gao Yanshi glanced at him and said.

"Yes, yes, yes." The servants of the palace hurriedly bowed their heads and did not dare to say more.

At this moment, Gao Yanshi saw a figure in front of him, his face changed, and he hurriedly greeted him, shouting, "Your Highness." ”

Zhao Hongming, who has recovered his appearance, said: "During the time that this king left, nothing happened, right?" ”

Gao Yanshi bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, there are indeed some changes, but they are all good things. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes."

Gao Yanshi welcomed Zhao Hongming to the palace, and as he walked, he sorted out all the information he had collected these days and informed Zhao Hongming.

After listening, Zhao Hongming was quite surprised: "Are you saying that over there in Luling, there are more than 10,000 martial artists who have signed up and met the conditions of Wei Wushu?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, this is still collected by the slave a few days ago, maybe when His Highness returns to Luling, this number will be more."

Gao Yanshi gave a detailed report on the impact of the battle with Li Mu, and only then did Zhao Hongming completely figure out the ins and outs.

"I didn't expect that after the First World War, there would be such a surprise." Zhao Hongming couldn't help laughing: "This soldier is fighting more and more, it's really interesting." ”

"Not only that, but the slave also inquired that there are already four innate martial artists on Luling's side who are going to join Wei Wushu, and they are now carrying out 'ideological education' according to His Highness's wishes. One seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and had been kicked out by several hall masters, and the remaining three were still relatively obedient. ”

Zhao Hongming was overjoyed, and he was one step closer to building a Wei martial artist composed of innate martial artists.

"What else?"

Gao Yanshi thought for a while and said, "Zhang Yi wants to see His Highness. It's just that a few days ago, His Highness was not there, and he failed to do so. ”

Zhao Hongming groaned: "There's nothing to do right now, let's see it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the servant will summon him."

"The king is waiting for him in the main hall."

"Okay."

After a while, Zhang Yi, under the leadership of Gao Yanshi, entered the main hall of Zhao Hongming's temporary palace in Jinyin.

After seeing Zhao Hongming, Zhang Yi bowed down with a happy face and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Wu." ”

"Get up, this king heard Gao Yanshi say, you want to find this king, what is the matter?"

Zhang Yi said in a solemn spirit: "Back to Your Highness, there are two things. ”

"Tell me about it."

"First of all, I want to recommend Li Yan as the county guard of Yingjun."

Zhao Hongming is not very impressed with Li Yi, he only knows that he has some talent, and he can understand it when he hears Zhang Yi say this.

"And what about the second thing?"

"I want to send an envoy to Zhao State and let Zhao State officially cede the Thirty Cities in Hedong." (End of chapter)
