Volume 2 Lezhi Academy Chapter 51 Woe to the Wall

Seeing what Elder Long said solemnly, everyone made a guarantee, and Wu Lun asked, "You said that this is a divine soldier, how is it possible! Those seven divine soldiers are all famous and mastered, how can they run into his hands?"

Elder Long shook his head, "This is indeed not the Seven Divine Soldiers. The Seven Divine Soldiers are all large weapons, and the shortest ones are all swords. But although this is not a Seven Divine Soldier, it has the characteristics of a Divine Soldier, sharp and hard, and can even confront the Divine Soldier, although it is a short weapon, it is also amazing to use it well. Chuanzong, in order to make better use of this dagger, you can learn another dagger-type martial art, and I will help you with this money, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for you. ”

Liu Jizu heard this and hurriedly thanked him.

Elder Long finally picked up the bottle of 'Hundred Poison Solution', sighed and said, "This is the antidote of Wuwei Valley, one bottle costs one thousand taels of silver, it is also priceless, and ordinary people can't buy ten thousand taels at all." I've heard my master say that although it doesn't really cure all kinds of poisons, it can also cure most common poisons. Its detoxification method is very special, it is to detoxify by improving one's own resistance, so taking this medicine will greatly improve one's own resistance. Although it is impossible to be truly invulnerable to all poisons in the future, it is true that most common poisons will lose their effectiveness. I heard that your master has taken a pill?"

Wu Lun had already counted the number of pills of 'Spring Dream Without a Trace', and when he heard the words, he said: "Yes, my life was saved by this pill, and it is really a poison cure." As for whether I will not be afraid of ordinary poison, I have never tried it. ”

Elder Long let out a sigh and said to Liu Jizu: "I'll just say that your kid is deeply blessed, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never met a few such good things, what a blessing!"

Liu Jizu finally asked: "Grandfather, what is the effect of this 'spring dream without trace'?"

When Elder Long heard this, he became energetic again, "This is a good thing, it can improve a man's ability in that regard, cure diseases when there is a disease, strengthen the body without disease, one pill can be guaranteed for a month, and there are no side effects, do you say it's good." This is one of the best medicines sold in Wuwei Valley, but because of the scarcity of materials, only 120 bottles are sold out every year. Some people who buy it by virtue of their relationship are reluctant to eat it, and when they are sold at auction, they will be auctioned at a high price. Nephew Wu, how many are there in total?"

When Ye Zi and Seventh Sister heard that this medicine actually had this effect, they both blushed and bowed their heads and did not speak, while Wu Lun held the bottle and said, "I counted it several times, and there were thirty-one in it, and nineteen were eaten." ”

Liu Jizu thought that this thing was of little use to himself, but it might be of great use to the elderly, and he knew that the two of them were very interested in this bottle of medicine, so he thought about it and said: "This inner armor will be given to the seventh sister to wear, and the hidden weapon barrel will be given to Ye Zi for self-defense." This 'Spring Dream Without a Trace' is of no use to me, you two will each give you five, and please help me sell the rest, I am running out of money here. ”

Several people were very happy to hear this, and Wu Lun and Elder Long even got aside to discuss what to do with this bottle of medicine.

Liu Jizu also gave the five small arrows to Ye Zi, and now the relationship between the two is basically settled, when Ye Zi saw Liu Jizu again, he looked very twisted, not as big as before, and had the attitude of a little daughter. Liu Jizu had never seen her like this, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Ye Zi peeked at Liu Jizu with his eyes, and carefully took the small arrow, as if he was receiving a love token. After receiving the little arrow, she didn't speak, and ran to the yard to test the concealer barrel with her head down.

Liu Jizu saw that Ye Zi had run away, so he hurriedly pulled the seventh sister back to their room.

The seventh sister didn't know what he was going to do in broad daylight, and when she saw that he was coming to take off her clothes, the seventh sister was shy and avoided.

Liu Jizu explained that he wanted to help her try on the inner armor, and the seventh sister came over. He helped the seventh sister take off her coat and strips of cloth, and took the opportunity to warm it up, and wore a thin shirt inside to help her put on the inner armor. Her height is about the same as Hu Youde, Hu Youde is thin and dresses very well. Although this inner armor is a little heavy, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and there are no burrs at all. There is a silk lining that can be replaced where the meat is attached, which is not uncomfortable to wear, and it is much more comfortable than Liu Jizu's leather inner armor. And the seventh sister wears this, and after putting on the coat, it is very similar to the effect of wrapping cloth strips, the waist is not visible, and there is no need to wrap those troublesome cloth strips in the future. Although Liu Jizu likes to help the seventh sister pull the cloth every night, because that scene is really beautiful, it makes Liu Jizu's heart surging every time.

The seventh sister is also very happy, she is a person who knows goods, and there used to be a bustard to teach them how to judge a person's status and wealth status by dressing, clothing, and belongings, which is also a basic skill for them. This thing knew that the price was very expensive at a glance, and she was very happy to see that Liu Jizu had not forgotten herself, but gave such a valuable thing to herself. Originally, when Ye Zi found her grandfather, she touched her sadness when she saw it, and she was sad for a while, but now she is happy again. When she finished trying, she took off the inner armor again, and she said that this Hu Youde wore it, and she had to change the lining, and the outside should be washed before wearing.

After taking off the inner armor, the seventh sister gave Liu Jizu a hug emotionally, and then the two naturally kissed. When Liu Jizu lifted the seventh sister's face towel, he found that the color of the seventh sister's face was turning white, and wondered if the effect of her disguise medicine was almost over. Just when the two of them were getting better and Liu Jizu was about to take further action, suddenly the door was pushed, and then there was a knock on the door.

Fortunately, Liu Jizu tied the door in order to change the clothes of the seventh sister, otherwise the two of them would be embarrassed. Liu Jizu hurriedly let go of the seventh sister and asked, "Who, what's the matter?"

Wu Lun said outside: "Who else? If you have a daughter-in-law, the master won't recognize you! Hurry up, we still have to go to the town to buy weapons, why are you still chained to the door in broad daylight, what are you doing?"

The two hurriedly got dressed, the seventh sister still had to tidy up, and Liu Jizu opened the door and came out first.

Wu Lun waited in the courtyard and asked, "What are you doing? It's not good to do these things in broad daylight." You're still young, pay attention to your body!"

"I'm really helping the seventh sister try the inner armor to see if it fits!"

Wu Lun didn't believe it at all, and after educating Liu Jizu on moderation for a long time, he changed the topic, "I heard Elder Long and several well-informed elders say that a little emperor has been erected in the imperial court, and he was born to the concubine who was the old emperor's favorite. The old emperor was also quite qualified when he was young, and the country's governance was not bad, but after he got old, his temperament changed greatly, and he was first worried that the crown prince would threaten his position, so he gradually distanced himself from fighting the princelings.

Later, at a family banquet, he saw a new concubine married by his son, and he was shocked that he actually tried his best to get people here, and slowly became his imperial concubine. Of course, the imperial concubine was alluring to the country and the city, and a year later she gave birth to a prince for him, who is now the little emperor. The old emperor was really fond of this mother and son, and I heard that in order to put their child on the throne, he first abolished the crown prince and then the queen, and then set up this concubine step by step. And before that, there was only one prince of the king of Chu outside, and when the little prince was seven or eight years old, he also made the other three adult sons one by one to the field as kings.

According to Elder Long's analysis, on the one hand, this is to clear the way for the little prince to be the crown prince, and on the other hand, it may also be that the old emperor feels unstable in all directions and wants his son to guard the town, so he breaks the convention and gives them the power to control the local soldiers and horses. Before his death, he had successively sealed out a total of four princes, all of whom were in important cities of the empire, the one in the east was called King Wu in Jinling, the one in the south was called King Chu in Xingcheng, the one in the west was called King Qin in Jincheng, and the one in the north was called King Jin in Jinyang.

Each of the four princes had their own set of men, none of which was a fuel-efficient lamp. In the past, when the prince was there, there were princelings who watched every day, and they didn't dare to make any moves. But as soon as the crown prince fell, they lost their checks and balances, and began to make some small moves, including installing cronies to listen to the news of other princes, befriending the ministers of the court and the central government to build momentum for themselves, and bribing the harem concubines and eunuchs to understand the situation in the palace.

Later, several of them were released as kings one by one, which is terrible. These four people are almost lawless in the place, and no one can take care of them. The nicknames you killed are the 'Gyeonggi Four Evils', and I think these four are the 'Great Four Evils'. They embezzled the property of the people, befriended the powerful people from all over the country, won over the local wealthy families, bought the rivers and lakes, recruited capable people and strangers, and constantly expanded and strengthened their own power.

When the old emperor was there, four huge forces had already formed. Knowledgeable ministers once pointed out that this was the way to take trouble out, and that the princes should be transferred back to the capital, their power should be withdrawn, and the crown prince should be appointed as soon as possible. As a result, the minister was said by the emperor to provoke their father and son's feelings, and was demoted, and since then there has been no one in the court.

Emperor Jiahe died suddenly, and the little prince in the capital had not yet been canonized as the crown prince at that time. The cronies and ears of the four kings sent people to send out the news, and the four kings took advantage of this opportunity to step up the expansion of their power. Now the two provinces of Jiangdong and Jiangxi belong to the king of Wu, the two provinces of Jiangnan and Jiangbei belong to the king of Chu, the two provinces of Longxi and Longbei belong to the king of Qin, and the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei belong to the king of Jin. But they were not satisfied, on the one hand, they wanted to continue to expand their local power, and on the other hand, they also wanted to return to Beijing to compete for the throne. But the four kings were not in the capital after all, and they did not dare to return to Beijing. They are afraid that after returning to Beijing, they will be harmed by the queen's party, after all, the 100,000 forbidden army is now in the hands of the queen's family. Therefore, they can only compete for the throne through those ministers they have wooed, but where are these ministers the opponents of the queen family supported by the forbidden army.

Therefore, after nearly a month of life-and-death competition for the crown prince, the queen's son who was less than ten years old was put on the throne, and the queen was promoted to the queen mother. One of the two elder brothers of the Queen Mother was the prime minister in charge of the government, and the other was a general in charge of the forbidden army. But how could these four princes admit that now they have heavy troops, and they are even more unwilling to give up. The scheming King of Jin even sent a message, saying that his father was poisoned by the queen's family and the little prince. I will send troops to fight against them and avenge my father. The other three kings also moved when they heard the wind, and now half of the entire Great Zhou has been in chaos, you kid is still thinking about those things all day long, and you have to learn martial arts later, and you have to save your physical strength!"

Liu Jizu could only nod while listening, and responded one by one, but fortunately, he was about to arrive at the weapon shop, and Wu Lun finally stopped talking.

It's just that although they know a little about the situation in Da Zhou, they know less about the situation abroad. Compared with the civil strife in the Great Zhou, the northern grasslands have rarely settled down, especially the entire eastern region, which is now cleaning up the mess, stabilizing the regime, and recuperating after being unified by the eagle rabble on the grassland. No one noticed that a large caravan left the camp of Wuhetai, crossed the entire eastern steppe, sailed to the eastern coast, and then disembarked by boat from the port of Zhigu and entered the hinterland of the Great Zhou.

The people in the Sanguang area in the south are also relatively peaceful, but the rivers and lakes there are somewhat chaotic. Because a group of foreigners came, they brought a large amount of money to various sects to challenge and threatened, if they won, they would use that money to buy that sect, and if they lost, the money would go to that sect. If they should not fight, they will directly start fighting. In the past month, they have not tasted defeat, and they have already used this method to buy four sects that are very influential in the local area. Seeing that this kind of development continues, the entire Jianghu sect in the Sanguang region will be this group.

These areas are relatively close to the sphere of influence of Zhige City, and there are relatively many economic exchanges between Zhige City and these areas, so not long after the incident, on a lonely peak in Wuyi Mountain, someone is reporting this situation to the current suzerain of Zhige City.

More and more people are affected, and life is developing in an increasingly uncontrollable direction. But in that era when information was slow to spread, many people didn't know how to plan ahead, or even if they did, life went on and they didn't do anything about it. It is often too late to react until normal life is no longer sustainable. Especially those who are accustomed to living in a prosperous era and have never experienced war and hardship, most of the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty are now like this, and there are very few people of insight who are as prescient as Mr. Tian. These people feel as if they are living in a happy land, and they always feel that no matter how turbulent the wind and clouds outside, they will always be calm here, and those storms will never be able to affect them, let alone know that the barrier that shelters them from the wind and rain is full of holes. The same is true for the people who live in the three sects, they don't feel that these three big trees are gradually aging, decaying, and full of moths, and there are very few people in the academy who can take precautions like Elder Long.
