Chapter 7: The Lost Martial Arts (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Because of the delay in leaving the city, the gate of Xiping Mansion was closed, and the city was heavily guarded, and it was undoubtedly self-defeating to break out, Yang Kang and Mei Chaofeng had to hide, and they did not go out of the city to join Li Chengzhen until five days later.
At this time, Li Chengzhen, the prince of Western Xia, was no longer the negative and pessimistic appearance of the original, but had high morale and was extremely busy, and he actively contacted officials who held military power in various places, and wanted to gain their support, His Royal Highness the King of Dajin was undoubtedly his best bargaining chip.
At the time of the invasion of the Mongol army, whether to surrender to the Mongols or to form an alliance with the Jin State was a choice that every Western Xia official had to face, and Li Chengzhen was a staunch pro-Jin faction, so when he saw Yang Kang escape from the Xiping Mansion, he showed a bright smile and gave a cordial hug to His Royal Highness.
Yang Kang had no interest in hugging a man, he looked at this high-spirited young man and sighed at the magic of power, which stimulated Li Chengzhen like a stimulant, making him seem to be a completely different person, and the original melancholy boy turned into an outstanding young man.
The prince of Western Xia no longer had time to chat with Yang Kang too much, he was moving towards the throne of the emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom every minute, and he couldn't afford to delay, but he couldn't snub His Royal Highness, who represented the Jin Kingdom, so he found Murong Yan to accompany Yang Kang.
Yang Kang understood this, and his role in saving zài was to prove that Li Chengzhen was the object of Jin State's help, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the practical significance, not to mention that he could not meddle in the domestic affairs of Western Xia at will, but just told Wanyan Honglie of what happened here to Wanyan Honglie of the Central Capital, waiting for the next instructions, he came to Western Xia this time to kill an emperor, presumably Wanyan Honglie is not easy to say.
His Royal Highness took the opportunity to learn about the martial arts and Mingjiao in the Western Regions from this descendant of the Murong family.
In the original story, in the martial arts of the Western Regions in this era, only Ouyang Feng of the White Camel Villa dominated one side, and there were no other masters of the Western Regions, and the masters of the Golden Wheel and Yin Kexi only appeared twenty years later, so where are the masters of the Western Regions in this period of history in which Yang Kang is located?
Tubo monk, Western Xia warrior, Huijiang master, xīzàng lama, Tianshan sect, Persian believer......
What is the living condition of these foreign masters who have been or are about to appear on the stage of history? Could it be that they have all been crippled by Ouyang Feng? This is obviously unlikely.
Yang Kang communicated with Murong Yan with a research mentality, taking the Western Xia Kingdom as an example, when the senior sister Li Qiushui of the Xiaoyao faction sat in the Xixia Palace, the four villains presided over the Xixia Yipintang, even Murong Fu also incarnated as Li Yanzong and mixed into the Western Xia, and the entire Western Xia martial arts can be said to be full of talents.
But according to Mei Chaofeng, when assassinating the Emperor of Western Xia, those masters who protected the emperor were vulnerable, which was of course related to the weakening of the national strength of Western Xia, but it also reflected the bad state of Western Xia martial arts.
"This is indeed related to the White Camel Mountain, ten years ago, Ouyang Feng broke into Yipintang, forced to ask for the secret recipe of the sad and crisp breeze, and killed all the masters who knew the secret recipe, so that the masters of Yipintang were all lost, and now they can't even mix the sad and crisp breeze. Murong Yan said with some embarrassment, "Tubo has been in constant civil strife and has no time to take care of itself, and the same is true for Mobei, the real masters are all in seclusion, and only people like me and others come out to fight and kill for a living." ”
Well, the West Poison is really domineering enough, and he doesn't even leave the formula behind, and His Royal Highness the King expressed his admiration.
"What about the Heavenly Mountain Vulture Palace?" Yang Kang asked.
"The Vulture Palace has become a legend, it is said that the mountain has long been closed, and it does not interact with other martial arts sects, and now there are very few people in the martial arts who can know this sect, and the little woman has only seen the relevant accounts in the notes of the ancestors, and I can't imagine that His Royal Highness knows very well. Murong Yan said in surprise.
Yang Kang was a little silent, judging from the fact that Master Yideng does not know the six-vein divine sword and Ling Bo Weibu, these two exercises have been lost in Dali, Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tong's grandmother are dead, the Vulture Palace is closed, and the Xiaoyao faction seems to be not planning to reappear in the rivers and lakes, and even the Murong Yan in front of him has not received the Murong family's mastery of "using the way of the other and giving back to the other body", and the martial arts of that generation have passed away.
Fortunately, there are talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years.
Huang Shang's "Nine Yīn True Scripture" and that strange person's "Nine Yang True Scripture", and the five unique jīng wonderful martial arts of the Central Plains, make the martial arts of this era equally colorful.
"How much do you know about Mingjiao?" asked Yang Kang with concern.
Now that the relationship between him and Mingjiao has deteriorated, these people have been hiding in the top of the light, and they don't know what their strength is, but judging from the appearance of the crazy master, they must not be underestimated, if Qu Feiyan insists on revenge, then His Royal Highness will be entangled with Mingjiao in the future.
"The little woman is also the master of the first contact with Mingjiao, Mingjiao has always kept a low profile, and the Guangming Peak is located in a remote area, Yipintang rarely pays attention to the whereabouts of Mingjiao. Murong Yan described, "What's more, today's Yipintang has long lost its former strength, even if it knows that the Ming Sect disciples are operating in the country, there is no way to stop it." ”
"What do you think of the prospects of the Western Xia Kingdom?" Yang Kang asked casually.
"This is not something that a little woman can judge. Murong Yan replied cautiously.
The topic ended here, Yang Kang originally wanted to take the opportunity to recruit this beautiful master who was simple and scheming, but the timing was not right at this time, he knew that Western Xia could not stop the Mongolian iron horse, but whether it was Li Chengzhen or Murong Yan, they were full of hope for the future of Western Xia.
In particular, Li Chengzhen, the prince of Western Xia, was at the peak of his life, believing that as long as he had the support of the domestic military and the assistance of the Jin State, he could drive the Mongols back to Mobei and rebuild the glorious Western Xia Dynasty.
Yang Kang didn't want to pour cold water, it would be annoying, so he was just quietly observing, making preparations, once the Western Xia Kingdom was destroyed, what martial arts masters and internal affairs talents could he recruit for his own use, these Western Xia talents were ready-made, and they didn't need to spend time cultivating, which was exactly what he wanted.
This is the purpose of His Royal Highness in Western Xia.
He didn't come to help Li Chengzhen seize the imperial power, but to dig the corners of the Xixia wall, and only by sending charcoal in the snow can he get the gratitude of others, when the moment the Western Xia destroyed the country, these people either surrendered to Mongolia or switched to Dajin, what Yang Kang has to do now is to recognize those talents who need to be recruited, and then just pack them up and bring them back to Chang'an City.
A few days later, news came from Zhongxing Mansion that Li Deren, the prince of Western Xia stationed in Zhongxing Mansion, wanted to talk to Li Chengzhen about the situation in Western Xia, and the venue of the talks was set in Zhongxing Mansion. (To be continued.) )
