Chapter Twenty-Six: The Great Inner Master
On Mount Tai, Musang Daoist was playing chess with Yuan Chengzhi.
Mu Sang Dao Chang dropped a chess piece and said, "Cheng Zhi, I saw it when you were a child, your martial arts talent is extremely high, I didn't expect you to become a grandmaster at the age of twenty. You are now one of the best masters in the world, which is really gratifying. ”
"What if your master, that old monkey, knew that you had become a grandmaster, and didn't know how happy he would be? ”
Yuan Chengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Dao Chief, fortunately I became a Grandmaster Martial Artist this time, otherwise, in the ring of the Taishan Conference, I might have died under the sword of Yu Zhenzi." Actually, I would like to thank the Taoist for saving my life. ”
Yuan Chengzhi is now the leader of the Seven Provinces Martial Arts Alliance. During the competition in the ring, Yuan Chengzhi passed the test and sang all the way, but in the end, Yu Zhenzi appeared.
Yu Zhenzi is a grandmaster warrior, Yuan Chengzhi is naturally not an opponent, and he can't even take a move, under the coercion of death, Yuan Chengzhi finally became a grandmaster warrior.
became a grandmaster warrior, Yuan Chengzhi was still not Yu Zhenzi's opponent, and in the end, it was Musang Daochang who came to save Yuan Chengzhi.
After a round of fighting, Mu Sang Dao said: "Chengzhi, I still have something to do, and I'm leaving." ”
Yuan Chengzhi said: "Dao Chief, the scenery of Mount Tai is good, why don't you stay for a few more days, these days, boy, I will accompany you to play chess every day." ”
Mu Sang Dao Chang shook his head and said, "No." Playing chess, there will be time in the future, and there is no hurry. But Chengzhi, I still have to remind you that although you have become a grandmaster and martial artist, there are still many people in the world who are more powerful than you. Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. ”
Yuan Chengzhi clenched his fists and said: "The teachings of the Taoist Chief, Chengzhi remembers it in his heart. ”
............
Wen Qingqing took Yuan Chengzhi's hand and asked happily, "Brother Yuan, now that you have become a grandmaster martial artist, are you as powerful as Uncle Wang?"
In Wen Qingqing's eyes, Wang Yue's martial arts are the most powerful, and the spiritual power to destroy the enemy between talking and laughing is very shocking.
Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Qing, although I have become a grandmaster, I am far from the realm of Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang became a grandmaster a few years ago, and I am far from being an opponent. However, after becoming a grandmaster, I can be regarded as standing at the level of the world's top martial artist. ”
Wen Qingqing's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Yuan." Then you have to teach me, I also want to become a grandmaster warrior. ”
Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
............
"Chengzhi. Sun Zhongshou found Yuan Chengzhi.
Yuan Chengzhi asked, "Uncle Sun." What's the matter?"
Sun Zhongshou said: "Chengzhi. Didn't you say that our brothers from the Mountain Sect should go to King Chuang? We found King Chuang and Li Yan. ”
Yuan Chengzhi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Didn't my eldest brother Li Yan lead the army to fight? He also broke into the king's military camp, which is really good." Did King Chuang agree to our request?"
Sun Zhongshou nodded and said, "King Chuang has already agreed." As long as we go over, we will divide a "Golden Snake Camp" for us, and our brothers in the Mountain Sect will not be scattered. All enter the Golden Snake Camp and be led by you, the young master. ”
Yuan Chengzhi said happily: "Okay, good." Uncle Sun, let's follow King Chuang. will definitely be able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. ”
Sun Zhongshou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But young master, King Chuang said that he wanted us to hand over the two million taels of silver, and the military salary of our Golden Snake Camp must be paid by King Chuang." ”
Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said, "King Chuang asked for this, and it should be." Since the king has said so, let us give them the silver. ”
Yuan Chengzhi didn't know how to lead troops, and he didn't understand military politics, so he didn't take silver very seriously. But Sun Zhongshou knew that if the silver reached King Chuang's hands, he was afraid that he would never get it back.
However, Yuan Chengzhi was covered, and Sun Zhongshou finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”
............
Yuan Chengzhi and his brothers from the Mountain Sect had just established the Golden Snake Camp in King Chuang's army, but at this time, Li Yan came to find Yuan Chengzhi.
"Big brother, why did you come to me?" Yuan Chengzhi was also very happy to see Li Yan.
Li Yan's military affairs are very heavy, and he usually doesn't wander around.
Li Yan said anxiously: "Chengzhi, I got the news that Chongzhen, a faint monarch, actually sold ten red-clothed cannons from the West. This cannon is used against our army of King Chuang. These ten cannons must be destroyed, otherwise, our army will suffer heavy losses. ”
Yuan Chengzhi's face turned straight and asked, "What does the eldest brother want me to do?"
Li Yan said: "Chengzhi, my eldest brother knows that you are strong in martial arts, I hope you can sneak into the capital and destroy these ten cannons." ”
Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said, "Okay." Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely destroy these ten red-clothed cannons. ”
............
Yuan Chengzhi was about to go out with the package on his back and the golden snake sword, but was stopped by Wen Qingqing.
"Big brother, I'm going with you. ”
Wen Qingqing didn't want to be separated from Yuan Chengzhi for a moment.
Yuan Chengzhi saw that Wen Qingqing was so clingy, and he had a headache.
"Brother Qing, I have a mission this time, and it is very dangerous, you go with me, I really don't have the confidence to protect your safety. Yuan Chengzhi persuaded with good words.
Wen Qingqing shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to go with you." Big brother, don't worry, I won't get in your way. ”
Yuan Chengzhi saw that he couldn't get rid of her, so he could only agree: "Okay, but you must listen to me." ”
Wen Qingqing smiled and took Yuan Chengzhi's hand, nodded and said, "Hmm." Don't worry, big brother, I won't make trouble for you. ”
........................
Yu Zhenzi returned to Manchu Shengjing with a dejected face.
When he went south this time, not only did he not invite Wang Yue, but he also did not even snatch the leader of the Seven Provinces Martial Arts Alliance. Now that he is back, he really doesn't know how to explain to Huang Taiji.
When Yu Zhenzi saw Huang Taiji, he was worried: "Poor Dao Yu Zhenzi, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
Huang Taiji has no illness on his body, he is in good spirits, and his fat body looks very blessed.
"Flatten. ”
Huang Taiji's voice was faint and without a trace of emotion. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Tamako became.
Yu Zhenzi said: "The emperor asked the poor road to go south to do things. But neither of these things has been accomplished. Please also ask the emperor to punish him. ”
Huang Taiji said: "There is no need to be like this to protect the country, Wang Yue's martial arts are strong, even if he worships, he can't take him, and it is inevitable that you will fail." As for the leader of the martial arts alliance, the folk of the Ming Dynasty, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, are as masters as clouds, and it is reasonable that you did not become the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”
Yu Zhenzi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Huang Taiji didn't blame him.
Huang Taiji said: "Last time, a Taoist priest named Mu Sang actually came to assassinate me. It's disgusting. Protector Zhenren, you go and kill Emperor Chongzhen for me, and let him taste the emperor's assassination in the Ming Dynasty, I hope you don't disappoint me again. If you do this well, I will reward you heavily. ”
Yu Zhenzi nodded and said, "Yes." Emperor. ”
............
As soon as Tamako left the palace, she was stopped by Dolgon's personal guards.
"The real person who protects the country. Our prince is invited. ”
Yu Zhenzi followed the guards to Prince Rui's mansion. Meet Dolgon.
Yu Zhenzi asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know how to find a poor way, what are your orders?"
Dolgon smiled and said, "Protector of the country, Li Zicheng's army has broken through Tongguan. This king received a message from Cao Huachun, and he persuaded King Hui to promise to borrow troops from the Qing Dynasty to quell the rebellion. This is a good opportunity for me to enter the Central Plains. Therefore, this king hopes that you can go to the capital, if you can help King Hui win the throne of the Ming Dynasty, it will be great. ”
Yu Zhenzi smiled: "Don't worry, the prince. This matter will definitely be done well. ”
"As far as Poor Dao knows, the real master of the Ming Palace is only An Jianqing. An Jianqing is only a half-step grandmaster martial artist, and Poor Dao has not taken it into account yet. ”
Dolgon shook his head and said, "True person, you are wrong, the most powerful master in the Ming Palace is not An Jianqing, but Cao Huachun." Cao Huachun's childish skills are extremely pure, very powerful, he fought with Ao Bai five years ago, regardless of victory or defeat. ”
"Cao Huachun is cunning and cunning, although he cooperates with me in the Qing Dynasty, but he has to guard against it. Protector Zhenren, when you see Cao Huachun, you must be careful. ”
Yu Zhenzi was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the number one master in the Ming Palace turned out to be Cao Huachun. But Cao Huachun has never made a move.
"Yes, Lord Wang, the poor Dao will guard against Cao Huachun. Yu Zhenzi said respectfully.
Dordo nodded, "Alright, you go." When things are done, your benefits are indispensable. ”
When Yu Zhenzi left, a cold light flashed in Dolgon's eyes: "Huang Taiji, my good fourth brother, you can even give up Da Yu'er for your own life, I really admire you." This time I led troops into the Central Plains, how should you reward me for such a great achievement? I see that you have nothing to give me except the throne. ”
............
Beijing City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Emperor Chongzhen had a lot more white hair on his head, and Li Zicheng actually broke through Tongguan, which really scared him this time.
"King Qin. Chongzhen said to himself, "Now, you can only rely on King Qin's army." As long as the commanders and governors from all over the country bring troops, they will definitely be able to repel Li Chuang, a traitor. ”
Emperor Chongzhen wrote more than ten letters and sent them to various places, one of which was written to Ma Shiying in Nanjing.
Emperor Chongzhen put all his hopes on the army of King Qin.
But now that the world is rotten, where is there any army of King Qin? Until the moment when Li Zicheng breaks through the city of Beijing, there will be no army of King Qin coming all the way.
............
Nanking City, Governor's Palace.
Wang Yue sat cross-legged in the small courtyard, his spiritual power floating on his body, as if it was some hazy mist. These "fogs" are all spiritual energies. Now Wang Yue's spiritual power has been able to turn the invisible into the tangible, which is a sign that the spiritual power has greatly increased.
Xiaohe came with Wen Jiàn, and saw that Wang Yue was cultivating, so he could only wait.
Wang Yue opened his eyes, and all the spiritual energy around him was sucked into the center of his eyebrows.
"Xiaohe, what's the matter?" Wang Yue asked.
Xiaohe said happily: "Childe, now the eight counties around Nanjing City are already under our control, and the army has expanded to 10,000 people. ”
Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Xiaohe, you did a good job." However, you must be steady, not aggressive. At the rate of our expansion, we should be able to fully occupy both provinces next year. (To be continued......)
