Chapter 134: Extraneous Branches
"This person can be said to have a very ...... background" Zhao Guangzu glanced at Wei Chenglie and said something immediately. It turned out that this Dugu Bai was originally born in a martial arts family in the rivers and lakes of Middle Earth. Although his own lintel is nameless, if you trace it back to its family, its ancestor is very famous! Its ancestor's name is Dugu Xin, who was a general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although this person did not make many achievements in his life, his daughters were extremely remarkable! The eldest daughter married the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was Empress Mingjing; the fourth daughter was the mother of Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and was later posthumously named Empress Yuanzhen. In particular, his seventh daughter, Dugu Jialuo, married Emperor Wen of Sui; this person was the famous Queen Dugu! How glorious was the Dugu family at this time? It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the first scholar family in the world! However, its prosperity must decline! Many years later, the Dugu family, which had experienced all kinds of disputes, naturally began to gradually decline. So much so that when it came to this Dugu worship's father, the Dugu family, which had long been far away from the center of power, had actually become a martial artist in the rivers and lakes! During this period, because the ancestors of the Dugu family knew very well that the struggle was cruel, although they knew that the family tradition was a compulsory lesson for the children of the family, and that it was inevitable that some people would fall into the rivers and lakes in the future, they strictly forbade the children of the family to get involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, his father named him the word 'worship' in the hope that this person would be a humble gentleman.
I don't think that this Dugu Bai is not interested in those sour literati at all, but he is quite obsessed with martial arts. Although most of the martial arts of the Dugu family at that time had been lost, this Dugu Bai was still full of longing for a sword book that had been handed down in it. At that time, although this sword book had always been in the hands of his father, his father thought that he had not made much progress in his cultivation for more than ten years, and his son's repeated begging, so he passed this sword book to Dugu Bai. Unexpectedly, this Dugu Bai was indeed a martial arts wizard! It only took more than a year to surpass his father!
It is precisely because of the rare and only praise in his father's life that Dugu Bai, who had just reached the age of the crown and weakness, set up his ambition to defeat all the masters in the world from then on! Although Dugu Bai had learned something at this time, he had no choice but to keep his family strict, and he could only obediently stay at home and take pleasure in cracking other people's moves by thinking hard. It was also during this period that this Dugu Bai was full of longing for the outside world after learning that there were still many masters in the outside world. So, after defeating all the masters in the family, this Dugu Bai finally seized an opportunity and ran out secretly.
After escaping from home, because he had heard that there were many heroes in Heshuo, Dugubai came to Heshuo first. After arriving here, Dugu Bai can be regarded as a real eye-opener! There are not only many heroes here, but also in addition to swordsmanship, there are also a variety of exquisite martial arts such as knife techniques, stick techniques, meteor ropes, and soft whips. So, Dugu Bai stayed here, specializing in competing with others for fun. In the meantime, because the swordsmanship of the Dugu family is also very powerful, in the competition for several years, Dugu Bai has rarely been defeated. However, if you walk a lot at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts! That is, when you are quite satisfied, you will meet a peerless master who is not born in the world!
Not only did the master deal with it empty-handed, but he also knocked out the sword in Dugu Bai's hand with only three moves, forcing him to take the initiative to admit defeat! After this battle, while believing that there is a heaven outside the sky, Dugu Bai, who was extremely admired, proposed to worship that person as a teacher. In fact, that master originally heard that Heshuo had produced a young martial arts wizard, so he intended to come and give it a try. Just because he saw that this Dugu worship was extremely arrogant, he deliberately frustrated his spirit. Now seeing that his arrogance has been swept away, and his skeleton Qingqi is indeed a rare martial arts wizard in a hundred years, so after listening to Dugu Bai say his mind, the master who was in the heart of him accepted him as a disciple on the spot.
But after apprenticing, the master did not directly teach Dugu worship martial arts, but only taught some principles of yin and yang, and asked him to comprehend it himself. But even so, but for Dugu Bai, a martial arts wizard, he also benefited a lot! After participating in the study according to this method, Dugu Bai soon understood the reason for the previous defeats. After that, after finding those people before him, he defeated his opponents one by one, and all of them made him admit defeat on the spot. After some competition, in the end, the opponent who had lost before was the only one left.
So after finding the master, although he still couldn't make three moves under his hand this time, the master praised Dugu's martial arts growth and gave him some guidance. As a result, Dugu Bai, who had been instructed again, began to follow the principles of natural evolution and to practice methods that were contrary to it, and soon the swordsmanship was greatly improved; so that in the first year of his establishment, he seemed to have become the only person in the world in swordsmanship! But the only fly in the ointment was that because of this person's long-term rebellion and cultivation, it eventually led to damage to his mind; every time he had an attack, he looked like a mad demon, and the name of the sword demon came from this......
"Although this person may be a bit famous, but when it comes to swordsmanship, apart from the Divine Sword Gate, looking at the world, who dares to be respected?" After listening to the explanation, Lin Ziyan refuted it on the spot. Miss Lin laughed...... Zhao Guangzu immediately said with a straight face, "If you talk about swordsmanship, apart from the Lin family's swordsmanship to ward off evil spirits, how can I ever admire others in my Divine Sword Sect?"
"Poor Dao thinks that with the help of the Lord of the Zhao Sect, this time the conquest and suppression of the Unification Alliance will definitely be captured!" Seeing Zhao Guangzu's expression, Cangxi Dao Chang hurriedly responded. "What the Dao Master said is extremely true! The other party has a sword master, and this Zhao Sect Master must go together!" Seeing that everyone had no objections, Daoist Cangxi and others confirmed the matter on the spot.
So, after Zhao Guangzu learned the location of the nest of the Unification Alliance, the head of Cangxi Dao and others quickly agreed on the details of the trip and the date of the expedition. After everything was arranged, the next day, due to the unexpected visit of the two, everyone had to change the manpower arrangements for the trip. The visitor was none other than Batu and Bagen, who had grown up with Li Jingtian since childhood! After meeting each other, looking at the two childhood playmates and friends, Li Jingtian learned that something big had happened to the grassland!
It turned out that just a few months ago, the Mongol envoys to the Jin State suddenly received the news that someone had been killed by the Jin State as a court! When the news reached the steppe, the Great Khan of Ögedei, under the wrath of the Great Khan, immediately ordered all his troops to raise manpower and actively prepare for war. After receiving the order, Jochi did not dare to slack off, and arranged for Batu and Bagen to come to the Central Plains in the starry night. 'This Jin man actually killed our envoy?' How dare you provoke so blatantly?' After hearing these words, Li Jingtian couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.
"This Jin man has always been extremely arrogant! Don't say that he is a Mongolian envoy, even our Genghis Khan, the Jin people don't pay attention to it...... 'Batu replied angrily, and then even told a story of the past. It turned out that although the Jurchen tribe was only a weak and small nation under the rule of the Liao Dynasty at first, because the Jurchen tribe had always been able to fight well, later the Jurchen leader Wanyan Aguta led thousands of people to revolt, and it only took a few years to destroy the Liao Dynasty and establish the Jin State. As a result, at that time, the Jurchen people had the saying that 'if there are 10,000 people, the world will be invincible'! It was precisely because of such extremely inflated ambitions that the Jin people then went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and while capturing the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huiqin and the Second Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, they also went north to attack the southern parts of Mongolia, and soon after they formed a situation of 'controlling the Great Song Dynasty in the south and controlling the steppe in the north'; for a time it became the most powerful country!
It was precisely because of the cruelty of the Jin rule that Genghis Khan's ancestor Baba Khan led the people to revolt and counterattacked the Jin. Unexpectedly, after the defeat of the army, he was tortured by the Jin people, and he was nailed to a 'wooden donkey' and executed on the spot! Later, after the accession of Wanyan Yongji, the king of Weishao of the Jin Kingdom, he was ordered to come to Jingzhou to deal with Genghis Khan before he ascended the throne, and Genghis Khan knew that he was a mediocre man. Therefore, after King Wei Shao ascended the throne, when he learned that he had sent an edict to the Mongols, Genghis Khan said at that time, 'I thought that the emperor of the Central Plains was made by a man from heaven, but I didn't expect it to be such a mediocre person!
When King Wei Shao heard the report, he was furious and made up his mind to capture and kill Genghis Khan when the Mongols paid tribute again! When Genghis Khan learned of this, Genghis Khan immediately ordered the severance of diplomatic relations with the Jin State, and the two countries formed a feud. Therefore, although Mongolia has now been put in charge by the Great Khan of Ogedei, how can it be allowed to run rampant in the face of such wanton and reckless behavior of the Jin State? Therefore, the current steppe is already full of available troops, waiting for the war with the Jin State!
"This Jin man actually had evil thoughts of Genghis Khan?" Thinking that his mother had told him about the many favors he had received in the grassland, and now that he heard that the Jin Kingdom had murderous intentions towards Genghis Khan, who was worshiped as the god of the grassland, Li Jingtian could not help but be furious.
'Now that the Great Khan of Ögedei has restored your commander and incorporated you into my father's department, we brothers will be free to do a great job when you return to the steppe!' added Batu at the end. After understanding the ins and outs of the whole incident, seeing that the situation in the grassland was urgent, and Wei Chenglie had already intended to replace him, Li Jingtian immediately proposed to the head of Cangxi Dao and others that Wei Chenglie lead the people to conquer and suppress the Unification Alliance. After learning that the war between Mongolia and Jin was imminent, and that Li Jingtian was once again in a military position, the head of Cangxi Daochang and others had no choice but to make temporary adjustments and rearrange the manpower to conquer the Unification Alliance.
