Li Wumang listened to Coca's words, knowing that this emblem of the royal family of the Younai tribe must have other meanings, and stopped talking.

Coca said again: "Venerable Immortal Cultivator, this is unfair to the Trumpet Clan. ”

"King Coca, how can I be fair?"

"It is only fair to ask the noble immortal cultivator to accept the royal family emblem of the Trumpet Clan. "Coca made a request.

"Respected King Qinghao, may I tell me what's going on?" Li Wumang could only ask Qinghao.

"Wumang, please forgive me for not making it clear, the royal emblem is worn by people who are not of royal blood, similar to the Chan Rang of Anguo, the king of the tribe is hereditary, the emblem of the royal family is the mark of the next king, and the person who wears the royal emblem is the second king of the tribe and has the power of the second and the king. Qinghao told me about the badge.

"I understand King Qinghao's words. "It's hard to object in front of everyone.

"Can a noble immortal cultivator accept my request from the Scar Clan?" asked Coca after him.

"This requires the consent of King Qinghao. "Li Wumang doesn't want to mess up the matter of buying a horse.

"Wumang, this does not require my consent, if asked for my opinion, I do not object. Originally, I wanted to tell you about the emblem after the tournament, but now that you know, you can decide for yourself. Qinghao said boldly.

The king who witnessed during this period was also discussing, and Su Maha suddenly said, "Noble immortal cultivator, we think it is only fair that you accept the request of the Trumpet Clan. ”

Li Wumang had no choice but to agree.

The coca king of the Trumpets was pleased. "I can call you Li Wumang Second King now, I know why King Qinghao wants to pass on the throne to you, he is going to hand over the clan to a strong man. I'm in the same mind with coca. In the future, even if there is a contradiction between the trumpet and Yuno, there will be a fair and strong person who will uphold justice. ”

"King Coca, we may have conflicts when we are alive, but when King Li Wumang sits on the throne, the two tribes will not fight. Qinghao laughed.

"I haven't seen an immortal cultivator for more than three hundred years. The second king of Li Wumang must have had some difficulty in entering the secular world, otherwise the second king must have been cultivating the immortal method of penance. The help that the second king needs, the Trumpet Clan will never stand idly, King Qinghao, what did you give the second king?"

Qinghao said: "The second king wants to form an army, and the Younai tribe will give the second king 5,000 horses and an elite cavalry of 20,000 people. ”

"Although the Trumpet tribe lost this time, its strength is not weaker than that of the Yuno tribe, and I will also send five thousand horses and 20,000 elite cavalry to the second king. Coca said right away.

Li Wumang had an unexpected gain, and he was very happy in his heart, and said: "Li Wumang thanks the king for his generosity. ”

The next day. At the invitation of the Trumpet Clan, Li Wumang, together with Yixi Daoren and Pu Yi, went to the camp of the Trumpet Clan and accepted the banquet in Coca's big tent.

Park Yi gave jewelry as a gift, and Coca also gave back precious medicinal herbs. Coca made people engrave a delicate emblem on the silver armor brought by Li Wumang, and the emblem of the royal family was a leopard's head. The emblem is placed on the right chest of the silver armor.

......

The three of them stayed in the Trumpet tribe for a few days and left for Gaozhou. Fangji followed them far behind, and Fangji could not get along with the horses. During this time, Li Wumang has been keeping the fangji in the wild, and the fangji hunts prey on its own and does not need to be cared for. Fang Ji has a keen sense of smell, and he can follow the smell to find Li Wumang after ten miles.

When he came back this time, Qinghao gave his white horse to Li Wumang, and Coca also gave Black Chasing Tiger to Li Wumang. Plus a Maxima. The three of them rode one by one and arrived at the Yuanfeng on the same day.

"It's finally home. Yixi Daoren breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wumang, like a dream, has only been out for a month. 10,000 horses and 40,000 cavalry. You have also become the second king of the two major tribes, even if it is unfavorable to rebel with the king of Ji, you will have a place to go. Park smiled.

"Wumang, this time you also think you are an immortal cultivator, in fact, the owners of Liuzhai Village think that you are an immortal cultivator, but it's not good to ask you, according to Uncle Yixi, the things of this mortal world can be put down, and the most important thing is to cultivate the immortal way. ”

"Yes, I helped Engong regain the throne, so that several elders in Liuzhai had a background, and Wumang devoted himself to penance. ”

"Wumang is a person with affection and righteousness, we are afraid that we will delay you, the wealth of the world is a passing thing, and you don't have to think too much about our affairs. "Park Yi also persuaded him to be ruthless.

Li Wumang nodded.

Li Wumang returned to Fuguang Village, went to Fuguang blessed land to practice, came down once in seven days, took some food, and after a month, the ice and snow of the business road melted, the cart could walk, and the goods hoarded by Hei Tai Sui were transported into the Yuanfeng.

The goods that were originally intended to be exchanged for horses are now used for trading, and the barbarian tribes know that it is the business of the second king of Li Wumang, and they are all very enthusiastic. The buying and selling is very smooth.

Yixi Daoren and Pu Yi first went to the Youno tribe to get 3,000 horses, and Luo Ximeng gathered the people selected by Liuzhai to train in the camp on the side of Yuanfeng. Qinghao also sent a few warriors from the clan to teach. The army of Liuzhai gradually took shape.

......

Li Wumang has been practicing the "Peep Dao Jue" on the honest bitter jade couch in the blessed land of floating light, and for more than a month, there have been several times when the spiritual energy in his body has been restless. I wanted to break through the suppression of the fourth layer of Qi training and enter the realm of the fifth layer of Qi training, but I didn't succeed.

It has never appeared since Li Wumang cultivated the "Peep Dao Technique". Li Wumang thought about it carefully. It fell on the pill that he was worried about, and it was impossible for the phoenix essence blood to replace the pill all the time.

Li Wumang knew that he was an immortal cultivator, and he also knew that cultivating the path of immortals was against the sky, but he was too lucky in the past days, and now he encountered the first problem on the way to immortals.

There is a Dan furnace in the cave where Ganli stays, and he still can't move it with his strong cultivation, and he has neither Dan prescription nor medicinal materials, and he can't refine Dan himself. It seems that the only way to look for the pill is to go outside.

came out of the blessed land of floating light and returned to the floating light village. Hei Taisui saw it and said: "Wumang, Liuzhai ran two trips to buy and sell, and made more money than usual, but forming an army is a big deal, and the business is not done." ”

"Uncle Hei, the old and weak left in the cottage after the formation of the army, it is still okay to do business. ”

"Well, the deal is still being done. In addition, the banners, armor and weapons were all prepared, and they were also sent to the camp of the lord of Luo Zhai. ”

Li Wumang nodded, a little absent-minded. Hei Tai Sui couldn't say anything when he saw it.

......

After Liu Sicheng left Fuguang Village, he bought a horse in Hongye Town and went to the capital. Gaozhou is more than 1,000 miles away from the capital, and it will be there in three days. I found a secluded inn to live in, sat in the teahouse of the restaurant every day, and paid attention to the movements of the three northern states.

After living for more than two months, he suddenly heard that the imperial court had appointed a new governor to go to the three northern states, and Liu Sicheng understood that Tianshun was going to clear his forces in the three northern states. Now the plan is to delay one day at a time, thinking of this, Liu Sicheng made up his mind: kill the new governor. If the new governor is allowed to leave the capital, there must be a personal guard. There are at least a thousand people. It's inconvenient to start. The day before inquiring about the date of the new governor's departure from Beijing, Liu Sicheng quietly entered his mansion.

This was a civil official, and the guards in the palace did not take precautions until the early morning of the next day, when they found out that the new governor and a concubine had been killed.

After hearing the news, Tianshun was very shocked, and the ministers of the court thought that it was done by the arrogant soldiers of the three northern states, but there was no evidence. The top priority is to clear Zhang Wang first, and the three northern states will be free of governors, so that the imperial court can do things.

Although Emperor Tianshun was young, he also understood this truth, and appointed a messenger to return to Beijing with a holy decree.

killed the governor of the three northern states who had not yet arrived, and there was a lot of discussion in the capital. The people all looked at the actions of the imperial court, and the fact that Qin was going to the three northern states spread in the market after a while. Liu Sicheng got the news, left the capital, and waited on the way.

The capital is nearly 2,000 miles away from the northern three states. Qin Cha led a guard of 800 people to stay overnight, and the guards were also very careful. Liu Sicheng has never had a chance to do it.

to a place more than 100 miles away from the three northern states. The team buries pots and cooks on the side of the road. As they were about to reach their destination, the guards were a little lax. Nachincha stood aside and watched the sergeant busy. Liu Sicheng rode his horse and walked slowly along the road, and suddenly opened his bow and arrow, shot Qin Cha with an arrow, and galloped away.

When the guards saw this, they hurriedly got on their horses to chase after them, and Liu Sicheng abandoned the horse, performed light skills, and walked over the mountain. The guards had no choice but to protect the corpse of Qin and return to Beijing.

Liu Sicheng went to the three northern states and told Zhang Wang about these things.

"King Ji, I don't know how the court will move next?"

"If you don't come to the army, you will send a secret minister. Liu Sicheng is confident.

"How should the three northern states respond? ”

"This king has a pawn in the west, and I want to leave him some time. If Tianshun sends 350,000 horses to urge you to enter Beijing, the only way to do so is to gather them and annihilate them. Put up the banner of rebellion, if you only send a secret messenger to the lord, I hope that you only need to delay with the snake and the snake. ”

......

Knowing that Qin Cha was killed, Emperor Tianshun was furious, and he had no choice but to discuss with his confidant ministers, and secretly sent Zhang Wang's senior brother, the former commander of the Ouchi guards, and Chen Kan, the current squire of the military department, went to the northern three states for Qincha.

Chen Kan went to the northern three states to meet Zhang Wang and read out the holy decree. Zhang Wang accepted the order and set up a banquet to entertain the senior brother. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are very affectionate. When the wine is hot. Chen Kan said: "Senior brother following King Ji is already the first grade of the official residence, and I am still the second grade, senior brother." ”

"Senior brother, although the junior brother is a good product, but now the king of Ji is already a prisoner in the court, and now the emperor has announced that I will return to Beijing, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious. ”

"Senior brother, you escaped overnight. ”

Zhang Wang shook his head and said, "If I escape, I will definitely affect the master." Senior brother, you can't get out of it. ”

"The elders of the sect sent us into the palace, and they really expected us to glorify the sect, who would have thought that there would be civil strife in the palace. My brother doesn't know what to do. Chen Kan sighed.

"The emperor sent his senior brother here, just because he thought that the two of us were from the same family, and his affection was deep, and he would not harm his senior brother. ”

"The colleagues in the DPRK and China regard the three northern states as the tiger's den in Longtan, for fear of being on the errand of this minister. There is no return to the capital. After Chen Kan finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Wang listened to Senior Brother's words, nodded and said, "Senior Brother has received it on behalf of others." The northern three states have always been the fiefdom of King Ji, and it is common sense that King Ji governs the army well, and the generals love him very much. After King Ji left, the imperial court was worried about the attack of the White State, and did not change the generals of the three northern states. The military heart is quite stable. ”

"Now that two court officials have died, the court is suspicious of the rebellion of the military horses of the northern three states, and it is difficult for the junior brother to explain to the emperor when he returns to the capital. ”

"Tomorrow, my senior brother and I will return to Beijing, and it will not be too late to meet the emperor. ”

On the second day, before he left, some generals who had been secretly arranged by Zhang Wang came forward to obstruct him, and he spoke very rudely. Looking at the kind words to appease, the day passed.

It was the same for the next few days, but the generals who came were different. Chen Kan was helpless when he saw it, and more than ten days passed like this.

On this day, the senior brother ate and said: "Senior brother, I can't go to the capital, I have some moderation here, and I won't give birth to chaos. ”

"Senior brother, this is a protest against the decree, and it is a big crime to kill the head. Chen Kanxiao took advantage of the stakes.

"I made an excerpt and reported the military situation of the three northern states to the imperial court. It won't embarrass the senior brother. ”

The next day, Chen Kan brought Zhang Wang's performance back to the capital to resume his life. Emperor Tianshun was furious when he saw the folding, and several ministers who were close to him said that the three northern states must be rebelling, and asked His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible.

Emperor Tianshun summoned Chen Kan for questioning, and Chen Kan said to the three northern states: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been delayed for more than ten days in the three northern states, and the generals who come to the governor's palace every day are different, and there are more than 30 people in the ministers' calculations. It is said that the emperor wants to condemn the officers and soldiers who are subordinate to the former King Ji. Zhang Wang will definitely die when he comes to Beijing. Zhang Wang, fearing a mutiny, did not dare to leave. ”

Tianshun hesitated when he heard this. This matter dragged on for more than a month.

......

In July, Emperor Tianshun could not withstand the persuasion of his ministers, and ordered to mobilize 200,000 horses to come to the three northern states. The three northern states did not erect a counter-flag, and this army was sent by the imperial court under the banner of fighting rebellion.

The weakness of Tianshun Emperor Liu Shi's indecision in handling military affairs was exposed. The rebel army is cobbled together from all over the place, and it does not have much strength. Emperor Tianshun just wanted to create momentum and force the generals of the three northern states to accept his moderation.

How do you know that Zhang Wang and others have been planning for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before they rebel. The generals of Zhang Wangsuo mainly ambushed the rebel army in a dangerous valley more than 80 miles away from the Jiwang Mansion outside the northern three states.

Zhang Wang had received Liu Sicheng's royal order before, but he had to delay it for a few more days. Let people let out the wind, saying that Zhang Wang has gathered 400,000 horses and horses, and will completely annihilate the rebel army at the critical point.

The commander of the rebel army heard the rumors and did not dare to go forward, so he stationed himself at a place five hundred miles away from the three northern states, and hurriedly wrote a note and sent it to the capital. Waiting for the will of the imperial court.

Emperor Tianshun was deeply worried when he saw the report of the rebel army, and the ministers of the court and China were also divided, and one side advocated that the three northern states be declared to the world and designated the three northern states as rebels, so that those who were loyal to the Tianshun Emperor would be separated from Zhangwang. Achieve the purpose of differentiation. and mobilized military horses to prepare for counterinsurgency. One side advocated the transfer of 50,000 horses from the rebel army to enter the three northern states to test the reality. Depends on the situation. A few days later, the twists and turns of Zhang Wang's work also arrived, saying that the three northern states had no intention of rebelling. However, the imperial court rebelled against the army and went out to conquer the three northern states, and the hearts of the people in the army fluctuated, and many of the original Liu Sicheng's subordinates wanted to mutiny, and the army was dangerous, and Zhang Wang was in danger.

In the end, Zhang Wang wrote: I am afraid that the situation will get out of control, and I hope that the imperial court will mobilize more troops and horses to expand the scale of the rebel army, so as to achieve the purpose of deterring rebellious ministers and thieves.

Tianshun saw Zhang Wang's folding, and he was even more undecided. In the end, he ordered the rebel army to retreat, and appointed Chen Kan as the imperial court, bringing gold, silver, silk, wine, cattle and sheep to the northern three states to work for the army, and the holy decree praised Zhang Wang and the generals of his department. Nor did he mention the change of governors.

......

At the Governor's Palace, the Chincha and his retinue were courtesy. Zhang Wang and many of his generals expressed their loyalty to Emperor Tianshun. For a while, the wind was calm, which was unexpected by several ministers sent by the imperial court.

But he looked at Chen Kan in private and said, "Senior brother, I won't hide it from you, this is just King Ji's plan to delay the army." King Ji's rebellion was in recent months, and the senior brother could seek a position as governor in Tianshun's states near the three northern states, and then obeyed King Ji, and also had a good future. ”

"Senior brother, if we both press on King Ji, when King Ji loses, it will be difficult to explain in front of the seniors of the sect. Chen Kan thought it through.

"What does Senior Brother mean?"

"It's better to find a position in the capital, and it will help when it is critical. ”

Zhang Wang said: "That's fine. ”

When the Chin Cha left, the officials who accompanied him all accepted bribes from Zhang Wang. Back in the capital, several of Tianshun's henchmen excused Zhang Wang during the court's deliberations, and Tianshun was very satisfied.

Chen Kan also went all out, opened up the joints, and got a position as governor. took a small family to take office in a state not far from the capital.

......

Liu Sicheng returned to Gaozhou. That night, Yi Lin fled from Yi Mansion with his family and hid in a small mansion. As soon as the morning dawned, the people from the Criminal Department arrived at Yifu, saw that Yilin's family had fled, and arrested the servants of Yifu for interrogation.

The official took out Liu Sicheng's portrait for people to recognize, and the subordinates of Yifu said that they had not seen it, and they had no clue for a while, so they would not be able to do it. just filed a case in the Gaozhou government and arrested Yi Lin's family.

Liu Sicheng saw that Gaozhou was calm, and after entering the city, he found the house that Yi Lin had told him, and the alley in front of the house was very secluded. Liu Sicheng didn't call the door, jumped into the yard, a year old dumb servant was sweeping the floor, saw Liu Sicheng babbling, Liu Sicheng pointed to the dumb servant's acupoint, and the dumb servant fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Yi Shilang listened to the voice and looked at the door, and saw Liu Sicheng hurriedly bowed.

"Get up. Take this king to your father. ”

Yi Shilang stood up and took Liu Sicheng into the room, Yi Lin leaned on the couch and wanted to sit up when he saw Liu Sicheng.

"You just lie down and talk back. Liu Sicheng's chin lifted slightly.

"King Xie Ji. Yi Lin didn't sit up again.

"Look at your ugly face, why are you so sick?" Liu Sicheng frowned.

King Laoji asked, Yi Lin was just infected with the wind cold, and he didn't dare to invite Lang Zhong, so he asked the dumb servant to grab some medicine casually, but he didn't see any improvement. ”

"You're old and sick, and that's not the way to go. This king will arrange for you to leave Gaozhou. Liu Sicheng had a sympathetic look on his face.

"Yi Lin almost killed King Ji, he really deserves to die. Yi Lin said with tears in his eyes.

"Gaozhou Governor He Dangji is your disciple?" Liu Sicheng cut to the chase.

"Yes. ”

"Yi Lin, you may have something to say to He Kangji. ”

"He Kangji's scientific examination that year was Yi Lin's main exam, and later Yi Lin's house handed over the post after high school, he was lonely since he was a child, Yi Lin loved his talent, He Dangji's career promotion was more due to Yi Lin's help, he was very respectful to Yi Lin, Yi Lin said something. ”

Liu Sicheng nodded. "He Kangji now has 300,000 or 500,000 soldiers in his hands, sitting in Gaozhou. This king wants to crusade against Tianshun, and he dares to help this king. ”

He Ganji listened to Yi Lin's words, did not participate in the party struggle during the reign of the emperor, and because of many conflicts with Liguo, Emperor Tianshun did not transfer after he ascended the throne. He Kangji is not Tianshun's confidant, but it is also difficult for him to return to King Shunji now. ”

"What you said Yi Lin is also reasonable, you sue Sù He Dangji, as long as he doesn't help each other, this king will not treat him badly. Liu Sicheng said the result he wanted.

"This Yi Lin can do it. As long as Yi Linxiao takes advantage of it, he will not dare to offend King Ji if he wants to come. ”

"Then do your best, and the dumb servant will wake up in an hour. Liu Sicheng left the Yi family's house.

......

Li Wumang cultivates penances every day in the blessed land of floating light. Still can't break through the level of suppression, this day back to the cottage, Hei Tai Sui saw and said: "There is no mang to come down, King Ji arrived yesterday, waiting for you for a day." ”

Li Wumang hurriedly went to see Liu Sicheng, who was reading a book in the house. Li Wumang bowed.

"Wumang has seen Eun Gong. ”

Liu Sicheng said: "There is no mangs to sit." Li Wumang sat down.

"I came here for a day and listened to many things from the master of the black village. The Liuzhai army was smooth, and the barbarian tribe gave 10,000 horses. ”

"That's a blessing thanks to Engong. ”

Liu Sicheng smiled, "You became the second king of the two major tribes, and got 40,000 elite cavalry of the tribes?"

"Yes. ”

"King Li Wumang is just a big general in Anguo, and he doesn't comply with the system. Liu Sicheng said seriously.

"Sir, I can't afford to be a general. ”

Liu Sicheng's face sank. "The importance of the country lies in the establishment of the system. Now that the war is imminent, you will call Mr. King Ji in the future, and call me Mr. in private, you can understand. ”

"Yes. Li Wumang was a little stunned in his heart.

"This king grants you the position of king of Jingxi, and the king's seal and the generals' seals are cast by yourself according to the system of this dynasty. The kingship first, and then the canonization of the king after the king ascends to the great treasure. In terms of regulation, Liu Sicheng is unrelenting.

After speaking, he took out a drawn picture album and put it on the table, "The flag is also on it." ”

Li Wumang accepted the album, "King Xie Ji." ”

"King Jingxi, you can send troops within a month. ”

"Yes. ”

Liu Sicheng said: "Wumang, the people of the Yi family are trapped in Gaozhou City, you want to find a way to let them come out and live in Fuguang Village temporarily." ”

Li Wumang became anxious when he heard this. "Sir, what's wrong with the Yi family?" Liu Sicheng briefly told Yi Lin and his son.

Li Wumang was worried about changing his name, and said to Hei Taisui: "Uncle Hei, do you have a way?"

"It's easy, Da Hong is a master of disguise, let her go. ”

"Be quick. Li Wumang was very anxious.

"I'll send for her. Hei Tai Sui finished speaking and went out.

"Wumang, although Yi Lin is old, Huan Hai has been very old for many years, you will consult him more in the future. Liu Sicheng advised.

"Yes. Li Wumang agreed.

"During this time, for the sake of secrecy, Mr. went back and forth alone, and in the future, I will sit in the northern three states, and I have no time to take care of Wumang, but there will be letters to you for all military affairs. ”

Li Wumang nodded. After Liu Sicheng said this, he went back to the northern three states.

......

Li Wumang and Da Hong took a few people, found the house that Liu Sicheng said, and knew that there was a dumb servant who would not open the door if he knocked on it. Seeing that there was no one in the alley, Li Wumang jumped into the courtyard. The dumb servant sat under the tree and enjoyed the shade, and when he saw people coming in, he cried out.
