Chapter 307 Conflict
Zhao Yutian had just learned all this now, even though he had experienced this before, but that strong will that had never been erased was whipping him all the time, making him regain his glory.
Zhao Yutian has only one goal, to reach the peak of the martial realm again, and then go to the new continent, meet new friends, and explore a new path to the martial realm.
Zhao Yutian is by no means a person who is satisfied with the status quo, even if he was in charge of the Divine Court back then, he once dreamed of looking for a continent with more Martial Realm Venerables in the past, but the sudden change made him stop such an idea, as the master of the Divine Court, he could only fight for the Divine Court!
Even though all his efforts came to naught with that just war, his policy of appeasement led to a disastrous victory for the Divine Court, and he was too eager for peace to ignore the war.
However, none of this defeated him.
Zhao Yutian never gave up his dream of being in the company of the powerhouses of the Martial Realm, he knew that this vast universe was full of endless challenges and opportunities, and there were also countless Martial Realm planes, and he had a great dream, that is, to link the various Martial Realm planes and make them an organically integrated whole, at least to make the people of the various Martial Realm planes believe in each other.
Therefore, he whips his will all the time, and he will never waste any inch of time!
Therefore, as soon as he stopped, he didn't have time to soothe his spirit, and he was already intoxicated with understanding the history of this Shenyue Continent.
Just as Zhao Yutian's heart was surging for these thoughts, a person suddenly walked outside the door, and he saw that it was the guard who helped him say good things that day!
This person has now become the leader of Lei City, and it can be said that the power is in full swing, because the political system of Lei City is a combination of military and government, although such a system may cause the number one to act recklessly, and no one below dares to provoke him, but if he encounters such a sage, he can let go of his hands and feet, and the possibility of being separated by the enemy will also be reduced.
There are pros and cons to uniting military and political power in one person, but if the military and political powers are separated, there are also other advantages and disadvantages, such as the division of the military minister and the interior minister by hostile forces, leading to internal disintegration.
Where in the world can we find a political system that is completely free of drawbacks? Zhao Yutian knows this very well, and he cannot find a perfect system to restrain the selfishness of mankind.
And now this military and political leader of Lei City, surnamed Hong Mingwu, he dreamed of becoming a general since he was a child, but he suffered from a poor family, and like Zhao Yutian, he had no way to recommend, so he could only start as a guard.
However, what Zhao Yutian values most about this person is not that he spoke up for himself that day, but that after he gained power, he never got carried away, and while Zhao Yutian stayed up late and studied hard these days, he was also infected by Zhao Yutian, who originally didn't like to read, and began to take care of both civil and military affairs.
As for those who rely on power to do evil, they have already been dealt with by him, and those noble ladies who once gave him a good look have all died, but according to the instructions given to him by the fairy girl, he did not accept all the orders for those maids, but chose one-fifth to decorate the façade, and the remaining four-fifths were all handed over to local industrial businessmen, and ate with his true skills.
This point made Zhao Yutian feel that it was too worthwhile to make such a friend as him, to know how many people who gained power because of the decline of others, and basically accepted all those maids.
It seems that this person is really a leader in Lei Cheng who thinks about the people, and Lei Cheng should also usher in a new spring.
This person had a long conversation with Zhao Yutian all night a few days ago, in addition to his mind being far higher than that of ordinary people, he is also a good man with a lot of righteousness, and his personal martial arts realm has broken through the fourth stage of the True Yuan, which is already a great achievement in his age.
Even in order to fulfill his dream of martial arts and the general's ambition, this person is still thirty years unmarried, according to his explanation to Zhao Yutian, firstly, he is personally unwilling to be bound by the love of his children and daughters, and secondly, he is not willing to give people a handle in such a troubled world.
This second reason is also for a reason, because his former boss has repeatedly looked at him unpleasantly, and wants to embarrass him, but he always can't find a chance, and if he has a wife, he must seize the handle of this person, and then he can only be at the mercy of that traitor.
Not everyone feels that love is supreme.
As for his parents, they had already fallen in the war.
In the final analysis, Zhao Yutian, like him, has no relatives and no reason in this continent, just like a flat boat, he can only live with his own tenacious will, no matter how hard it is, he can only rely on his own shoulders, and others can't help him at all.
This may be the reason why Hongwu and Zhao Yutian met late, although the two have only met a few times, they have become bosom friends because of each other's similar experiences and temperaments.
And Hong Wu is also an extremely practical person, he never does anything to worship the son and tie the righteousness, but just said to Zhao Yutian, if my brother has difficulties in the emperor in the future, he will come to me, he believes in Zhao Yutian's character!
And he also hoped that Zhao Yutian could say more good things in front of the fairy girl, so that he could fulfill such a dream as a general.
Such honest and simple words made Zhao Yutian feel extremely lucky in his heart!
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, especially for martial arts cultivators, this sentence is to explain the true meaning of what it means to be a friend, after all, this is a troubled era! It is not an era of peace, and the affection between friends can only rely on mutual trust and sincerity, and cannot rely on the basis of common interests.
Only friendship in peacetime can rely on each other's interests, and friendship in troubled times can only rely on the righteousness and pride between men.
"It turned out to be Brother Hong Wu! Brother Hong didn't go to the city tower to inspect it late at night, what did he come to me for?" Zhao Yutian was still reading in the room, and he was also thinking about his future way out, when he saw Hong Wu walking into the room, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand and greeted him with a smile.
This brother can be regarded as his benefactor in a sense, everyone was watching a good show that day, but this Hongwu brother came to the rescue, such a righteous act really made Zhao Yutian's heart move, after all, he has no relatives with him, but he can see the unevenness, this is the hero Zhao Yutian wants to meet!
Hong Wu is also a sincere person, hurriedly faced Zhao Yutian with his hands folded, and laughed: "I am here to report the good news to Brother Zhao." ”
"What joy is there?" Zhao Yutian asked curiously.
Hong Wu stood at the door and laughed, "Hahaha, the second fairy is ready to make you her close guard!
Zhao Yutian only then found that he was very rude according to the etiquette of this country, and complained with a wry smile that he was ignorant when he first arrived, and immediately hurriedly invited him into the house.
As soon as Hong Wu walked into the door, he was shocked by a large pile of books in front of Zhao Yutian's desk, "I, Hongwu, really didn't see the wrong person, Brother Zhao is still staying up late at night to study, practicing martial arts hard during the day, and being so diligent at night, it's really admirable!"
"Brother Hongwu is polite, hahaha, I just did what a qualified martial artist should do, and I just came to this country, many things are still ignorant, if you don't absorb some nutrients, wouldn't you be too sorry for the fairy girl's acquaintance with you?"
Brother Hong Wu laughed, "I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so burly on the outside, but he is still an elegant gentleman on the inside, hahaha, it seems that I will have to read more books in the future." ”
Zhao Yutian made him a cup of tea, offered it with both hands, and asked lightly: "Brother Hongwu said just now that this close guard? Does it mean that he has become the personal guard of the second county lord?"
Now, Zhao Yutian's heart is full of doubts, you must know that he has not made an inch of achievements now, and the strength of the martial arts realm has just started, so being promoted for no reason is easy to cause others not to hide.
And to cause others not to hide, in addition to those noble lords, there are also some conscientious guard candidates.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Ning Hongyuan felt that he really thought too highly of himself, he was just handpicked by Miss Su Ningxing as an ordinary guard, how could he cause others to hide it? This is not such a powerful position, after all, he is still a low-end person of the Martial Realm Pyramid.
"Hmm!" Hong Wu said boldly as he took a cup of tea.
Zhao Yutian was not overjoyed by this, but sighed.
Hong Wu saw that he heard the good news of his promotion, but he still showed such a melancholy look on his face, and he didn't know what to mean in his heart, so he hurriedly asked curiously: "Why is Brother Zhao like this? Could it be that Brother Zhao has become the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Second County Lord, and he still feels not satisfied?"
"Brother Hongwu misunderstood, of course I feel satisfied, but I have no relatives and no reason in the country, and I have never established an inch of merit in this Ning country, I am afraid that I will be promoted by the second county lord for no reason, not to mention that I am uneasy, I am afraid that others will not be convinced! I am different from Brother Hong Wu, Brother Hong Wu has been working here for five years, and he is valued by the fairy girl, and it is also the ability and persistence of Brother Hong Wu, but I am different, I just came to this Ning country, and I was promoted to a guard for no reason, I am afraid that the rest of the guards will not be convinced!" Zhao Yutian replied humbly after thinking about it repeatedly.
Only then did Hong Wu suddenly realize, and he also sighed, "Others are happy to be promoted, and they are all ecstatic to be able to become the personal guards of His Royal Highness the County Lord, and I am ready to invite Brother Zhao to invite me to drink wine! I didn't expect Brother Zhao to worry about it, it is indeed very human!"
"Brother Hongwu is polite, I just said what I wanted to say in my heart, and I have only just broken through the two stages of the True Yuan Martial Realm, how can I become the personal guard of the Second Fairy?" Zhao Yutian asked again suspiciously, thinking that this Hongwu brother was joking with him.
Hong Wu was not ambiguous, he found a stool at random and sat down, and drank a cup of herbal tea in one gulp to quench his thirst, "Hey, Brother Zhao said this, I have always relied on my strength and ability to appoint people, Brother Zhao tested the martial arts realm the day before, only a section of the Zhenyuan martial realm, this is only three days, Brother Zhao actually broke through the third stage of the martial realm, such a talent, if the second fairy girl still doesn't understand how to win over, will it be impossible to regret it until Brother Zhao runs to the enemy country?" Besides, according to Brother Zhao's talent, he should have been appointed to a higher position, but Brother Zhao not only did not dislike it, but was very worried that he had not made an inch, which can show that our two fairy girls did not look away, and I did not look away. Hahaha!"
Zhao Yutian and Hong Wu, as real warriors, never drank for fun, so they used tea instead of wine to talk.
Wine may be a good medicine for ordinary people to relax their temperament, but for martial artists, it is a chronic poison.
When Zhao Yutian was in the Divine Court, except for drinking some wine on formal occasions, he never drank alcohol easily, and he would judge the other party's temperament by how much he liked wine.
In the current situation, Zhao Yutian will not easily change his character, so he admires this Hongwu brother very much for being able to replace wine with tea.
Nodding, Zhao Yutian faced the appreciation of his friends, and swore and said: "I was too worried just now, but Brother Hongwu must believe me, I, Zhao Yutian, am by no means ungrateful, it is impossible to go to the enemy country to serve, since His Royal Highness the Second County Lord has taken me in, I will definitely establish a meritorious service for His Royal Highness the Second County Lord, how can I go to the enemy country to be the enemy of the Second County Lord and Brother Hongwu?"
When Hongwu felt that I was in awe of his words, Zhao Yutian hurriedly changed his face, and the sorrow written on his face became extremely confident, remembering Fang Cai's words from the other party, and said happily: "Let's go!
Hong Wu hurriedly excused himself, and immediately laughed, "Brother Zhao is refreshing, now my position is the chief of the city guard, I just said a joke just now, Brother Zhao must not take it seriously! Tomorrow, the county lord will return to the palace, I just came to report the good news to Brother Zhao in advance!"
"You're going to leave for the palace tomorrow?so soon?" Zhao Yutian was a little surprised, and a few drops of tea spilled.
Although Zhao Yutian knew from the fairy girl's eyebrows that he would definitely not be left in this Thunder City by her, he didn't expect that he would leave this Hongwu brother so soon.
This made him reluctant to give up, after all, this was the first time he came to another world, and the first brother to say good things for him!
It's hard to let go of this kind of affection easily.
"Seven days later, it will be the Hundred Martial Arts Festival hosted by my Ning Kingdom, and when the time comes, people from different martial realms will come to participate in this great event, and the county lord, as the young master of a country, must personally preside over it!" Hongwu began to explain to Zhao Yutian.
"Hundred Martial Arts Festival, this seems to be a very grand meeting for martial artists, isn't Brother Hong Wu going to participate? Didn't Brother Hong Wu say that he also wants to become an outstanding martial cultivator? This is a great time for Brother Hong Wu to raise his eyebrows!"
Hong Wu hurriedly stood up, "Since Hong Wu has just been appointed by His Royal Highness the Second Fairy as the head of the guards of this Thunder City, supervising the guards of Thunder City, how can he go against her good intentions for his ideals! What's more, now that Zhao Guo is eyeing up, there has always been a gap between us and Zhao Guo in the territorial dispute, and they will not give an inch, this time the Hundred Martial Arts Festival is likely to be the time for them to launch a war sneak attack!" Before I came to talk to Brother Zhao, the second fairy had already told me many times that I must pay attention to the movements around Lei Cheng on that day, if Zhao Guo dared to ignore the law of the Divine Moon and launch a sneak attack, we in Lei Cheng must not be hard-headed, we must save our strength, sweep away the property and retreat ten miles, and then sit on the evidence of Zhao Guo's sneak attack!"
"I can't imagine that the fairy girl can think of such a clever plan!"
"Brother Zhao just came to us"
This Thunder City is the place where I was born and raised, and it is enough to be able to become the head of a city and defend the country! Brother Zhao, I must have a long face for His Royal Highness the Fairy in that Hundred Martial Arts Festival, so that her incompetent brothers and sisters can be jealous of everything, as long as these two fairies are in power in Ning Kingdom, we and the people will have a future!"
Zhao Yutian listened to his common words and was in awe, but there was some sadness in the dark, because in this way, he and the heroes he had met would be separated, and it was even possible that they would not meet again for a long time.
Zhao Yutian, who regards the love of friends as more important than his own life, how can he not feel sad?
When Zhao Yutian wanted to keep Hongwu and go to the palace together, the other party folded his hands and made a parting gift, "Take care!"
In an instant, Hong Wu disappeared in front of Zhao Yutian with a wind escape invisibility technique.
In the huge room, only Zhao Yutian was left.
A cold wind blew across his face, blowing down a tear.
He didn't know why, although he had only been dating this Hongwu brother for less than ten days, it always made him feel like he was late to see each other.
People always say that men and women hate each other late, and the so-called friendship is just a community of interests, how can such a person understand Zhao Yutian's mood at the moment?
The friendship in troubled times is much more difficult than the friendship of governing the world, and it is much stronger, after all, troubled times are the place to baptize human nature, and reshuffle human nature again.
Stopping his boring thoughts, Zhao Yutian picked up the history books, sat straight on the desk, and once again concentrated on reading all night.
I have just come to this continent, and I must have a certain familiarity with the humanities and history here, as the saying goes, if you accidentally violate the taboos here because of ignorance, anger others and be hunted down, it is always uncomfortable.
Therefore, he urgently needed to understand the customs and history of this Ning country, and even the entire Shenyue Continent, especially the founding history of this Ning country.
Although being hunted down and killed can in turn improve Zhao Yutian's personal martial arts strength to a certain extent, Zhao Yutian wants to cultivate quietly step by step, with less hatred, less death, and less blood, because he is tired of these things, and he is also very tired.
Therefore, instead of fighting with others, Zhao Yutian wants to calm down and cultivate his personal martial arts with peace of mind, or learn martial arts with a few close friends, communicate with each other, and improve themselves with each other.
He needs friends more than enemies.
If he can, he would prefer to have a beautiful woman next to him.
Of course, the truth is always the opposite of the dream, and sometimes the pressure of reality can only make these beautiful expectations become dreams in the heart.
