Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 180 Preparation in advance

Cloud country, in the palace.

On the open space in front of the hall, Xiao Cheng was wearing a purple uniform, with a standard long sword hanging on the ground in his hand, and said with a light smile:

"come!"

Nan Rongshu raised her head slightly and hummed softly:
"Let's say it first, only the eighth-level cultivation is allowed. Also, you are not allowed to use that shattering sword energy. Well, only sword techniques are allowed, and nothing else is allowed!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng said with great interest:
"How can you compete in martial arts like this... But, it's okay!"

Nan Rongshu smiled slyly, she didn't take out her usual sharp blade, instead she took a long whip from the side, held it in her hand, and waved it at Xiao Cheng triumphantly.

Seeing her proud look, Xiao Cheng knew the reason why she used the long whip.

The small blade that Nan Rongshu often uses is extremely sharp.But, first of all, this thing is not suitable for taking out to compete with Xiao Cheng.Secondly, it was also her martial arts, which was similar to that of an assassin. Facing Xiao Cheng's majestic and graceful Duan's swordsmanship, it was inevitable that she would suffer a bit.

On the contrary, the long whip, combined with her swift movement, can restrain weapons like swords.

At this time, Nan Rongshu, who was complacent, did not give Xiao Cheng a chance to repent.With a flick of his hand, the long whip protruded out like a dragon, sweeping towards Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng also moved, when the long sword in his hand came out, the light of the sword flowed on it, and there were heavy sword shadows.On the sword body, sword energy surrounds it, piercing the air, and there is a slight whistling sound.

There was only a soft sound of "铛", and the tip of the sword hit the head of the long whip directly, causing the long whip to release its strength immediately.

Nan Rongshu's feet are a little bit, the whole person is as light as a flying swallow, her figure is light, and she moves forward and back, as if there is no trick, it is difficult to react.

The long whip in his hand became more flexible under his swing.In a daze, the long whip seemed to turn into a dragon, hovering around, flying with scales and claws, continuously attacking Xiao Cheng's surroundings.

Xiao Cheng struck out with the long sword, the shadows of the swords staggered, and the majestic and majestic swordsmanship was displayed. Under the raging whip, he advanced and retreated slowly, protecting his whole body airtight.

Feng Bao, who was on the side, saw Nan Rongshu waving a long whip in his hand and pouring it down. The strong wind was so strong that it was very scary.However, Xiao Cheng just stood firm and seemed to be at a disadvantage. He couldn't help but panic, pulled Nan Jiyun beside him, and said in a low voice:

"General Nan, why don't you go up and stop him? If Zhaoyi doesn't have a count, then..."

Nan Jiyun looked at the worried Feng Bao, and explained:

"Don't worry, father-in-law, your majesty is just playing with your empress!"

Feng Bao opened his eyes wide and looked at the place where the two were fighting in front of him.

The long whip shrouded it, and the strong wind forced no one to approach it.From time to time, he fell heavily on the ground, and the gravel splashed and exploded, which shocked Feng Bao so much that his eyeballs almost fell out.

"This, is this a joke?"

Nan Jiyun sighed softly and said helplessly:
"My father-in-law doesn't know martial arts after all..."

"Hey!" Feng Bao ignored Nan Jiyun, pointed in Xiao Cheng's direction, and said in horror.

Nan Jiyun turned his head to look, but saw that Nan Rongshu exerted force in his hand, and the long whip suddenly exerted force, carrying the power of whistling, and came straight to attack Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng frowned, instead of hiding, he went forward, raised his long sword slightly, and let the long whip in Nan Rongshu's hand wrap the long sword around.

Nan Rongshu stopped, grabbed the long whip in her hand, and said with a smug smile on her face:
"Your Majesty, you lost!"

"Really?" Xiao Cheng suddenly smiled.

The next moment, with a movement of Xiao Cheng's hand, turbulent internal energy, like a turbulent river, raged out through the long sword in his hand.

There was only a "bang" sound of explosion, and the long whip in Nan Rongshu's hand immediately broke inch by inch.

The long whip in Nan Rongshu's hand broke, and her figure staggered. She couldn't help but retreated a few steps before stabilizing her figure.

At the same time, on the skill panel of Goldfinger, a streamer flashed on the skill "Strive for governance".

[Purple Dika, King Qiwei—Tian Yinqi
Card skills:
……

Make great efforts to heal - 1. When this card is equipped, additional random values ​​will be added to reading and martial arts, and the value will be doubled when reading late at night and practicing martial arts: 2. When summoning courtiers, there is a certain chance to increase popular support: summoning beauties, there is a certain chance to increase various attributes (The probability is related to the character of courtiers and beauties.)
...]

[Win the competition, force value +1 (current force value: 88 (without wearing the angry dragon sword)]

Well, summoning Nan Rongshu is to increase the value of force...

Seeing that there was only half of the long whip left in her hand, Nan Rongshu's face swelled, and she said:
"Your Majesty, didn't you agree to only use swordsmanship!"

Seeing her angry look, Xiao Cheng burst out laughing, imitating Nan Rongshu's proud appearance before, shaking the long sword in his hand, and said:
"It's swordsmanship, but I didn't say it. I only know one kind of swordsmanship! This is the Yun Kingdom's royal family's martial art, the Angry Dragon Swordsmanship. Although I haven't used it before, it doesn't mean I don't know how to do it!"

In such a world, the hundreds of schools of thought that originally only studied academics have their own shocking martial arts.Yunguo is one of the kingdoms in the world after all, so how could the royal family of Yunguo not have the emperor's martial arts?

Hearing the name, he also knew that this was a martial art that matched the Fulong Sword.It is a unique art created by Emperor Taizu, the founder of Yun Kingdom, who was on the bank of Lujiang River and felt the power of the river.

The momentum of the sword is like a surging river, surging endlessly.Cooperating with the Furious Dragon Excalibur, once it is used, the sword energy will flow thousands of miles and surge swiftly, which can be called a rare skill in the world.

It's just that Xiao Cheng had to go dormant before, or was disturbed by government affairs, and his God card skills were enough to ensure his own safety, so he didn't care about practicing any martial arts, so he didn't mention it.

But now, the affairs of the imperial court are on the right track, all stumbling blocks in the middle school have been kicked away, and the only thing left is to develop steadily, Xiao Cheng has time to pick up these martial arts.

Nan Rongshu narrowed her eyes and said:

"So Your Majesty did it on purpose, just waiting for my concubine to make a move!"

"Your movement is unique, you can't catch you easily, so you have to use a routine!" Xiao Cheng said.

Nan Rongshu snorted softly, then suddenly rolled her eyes, and said:

"Since Your Majesty is thinking of practicing martial arts recently, if Your Majesty is willing, my concubine can teach you the flying swallow and dragon swimming style of my Ailao clan!"

Xiao Cheng became interested when he heard this, and said:

"Is it possible? This martial art seems to be the unique skill of your Ailao clan!"

"The elites of the Feiyan-style clan can practice it, and the Youlong-style can only be learned by the direct descendants of the Ailao clan. But if Your Majesty wants to learn it, my concubine can teach you!"

Speaking of this, Nan Rongshu's face flushed slightly, she lowered her head and twisted her body unnaturally, saying:

"It's the Flying Swallow and the Dragon. It's not easy to learn. Your Majesty may come to find his concubines every day..."

Ah, yes, this girl is greedy for me...

Xiao Cheng coughed lightly, pretending not to see the "evil intention" hidden by Nan Rongshu, nodded in response:

"Ahem, I'm quite interested, very interested!"

Hey, I am upright and wholeheartedly for the country, but I am not a person who is interested in sex!I am only making my own sacrifices for the national integration of Yun Kingdom!

The painstaking efforts behind it, I really can't explain it to outsiders...

At this time, a young eunuch came hurriedly, ran to Feng Bao's side, and whispered a few words.

Hearing this, Feng Bao was stunned for a moment, then trotted to Xiao Cheng's side, bowed and said:
"His Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng heard this, looked at Feng Bao, and said:
"what happened?"

Feng Bao said softly:
"At the sticky pole, Yiwei envoy Guo Xie, Mr. Guo, please see me."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng frowned suddenly, and said:
"Guo Xie? Alright, let him go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet me!"

Nan Rongshu at the side heard the words, and said with a wink:

"Since His Majesty has state affairs to deal with, the concubines will not bother you...but don't forget, Your Majesty, come and look for your concubines tomorrow!"

Xiao Cheng nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice:

"Go."

Nan Rongshu bowed, then turned and left.

Xiao Cheng threw the long sword in his hand to Nan Jiyun, and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Not long after, Guo Xie hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, bowed to Xiao Cheng, and said:
"His Majesty!"

"I was in a hurry to see me, but something happened to Xia Guo?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Now that the situation in the middle school is stable, and Feng Bao's Dongchang is watching, it is impossible for Guo Xie to be so anxious about anything.

And since the rebellion against Zhong Zizhuo, this sticky place has also begun to focus its main energy on developing within the borders of Xia Kingdom.What could make Guo Xie lose his composure like this is probably because of what happened to Xia Guo.

Hearing Xiao Cheng's question, Guo Xie hastily said:

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I just received the news that the Xia Kingdom Mission has entered the border of our Yun Kingdom!"

"Just this?" Xiao Cheng frowned.

"This time, besides the Xia Kingdom mission, the fourteenth princess of Xia Kingdom, Emperor Rouning, who was ordered by the Emperor Xia to marry him, entered our Yun Kingdom together."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng was slightly astonished, and said:
"Kiss? With whom?"

"Naturally, to make peace with His Majesty..."

"Huh?" Xiao Cheng pointed to himself with a look of surprise.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chengfang was a little bit dumbfounded and said:
"What does Emperor Xia mean? He didn't even mean to ventilate in advance, so he sent his daughter to marry him? This is a secret loss at my hands, and he is not convinced in his heart. He wants to take advantage of his seniority, right?"

Even if you want to get married, shouldn't you have said it in advance when the missions came to discuss the terms of the peace talks!You sent the princess here for no apparent reason, does Xiao Cheng want it or not?
Upon hearing this, Guo Xie continued:

"The news I received here, this incident, and the head of the mission this time is King Qi, the nineteenth prince of the Xia Kingdom. This Empress Rouning is also King Qi's biological sister."

"King Qi? As I remember, he was the one who led the army to attack the northern border of my Yun Kingdom!" Xiao Cheng nodded.

"It is this person who was named by Emperor Xia and asked King Qi to lead the mission."

With Xiao Cheng's action, Xia Huang couldn't help it.

You are, what kind of coquettish operation are you playing, why do people not understand it?
Asking King Qi to sign the contract formally, is this a deliberate provocation?Or did he send his son here to vent his anger to Yun Kingdom?

Xiao Cheng frowned, suddenly looked at Feng Bao and Guo Xie, and said:
"In your East Factory and Sticky Rod, do you have any file information about Emperor Xia?"

When the two heard this, they were both taken aback.

Feng Bao lowered his head, wondering:
"The power of the slave servant Dongchang is basically in the middle of the country, and there are very few people who pay attention to Xia Guo."

Guo Xie also shook his head when he heard the words:

"The sticky pole has only a short period of development in the Xia Kingdom, and now it has just deployed manpower in the southwestern counties of the Xia Kingdom, and has not focused on collecting these."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:

"After today, we will mobilize people specifically to collect information on Xia Guochaotang. Not only Xia Huang's, but even Xia Guo's civil and military ministers must pay attention!"

If he could know Emperor Xia's temperament now, he might be able to guess something.

Feng Bao and Guo Xie hurriedly lowered their heads, and answered in unison!
Xiao Cheng nodded, and suddenly said again:

"By the way, the sticky pole is now in the southwestern counties of Xia Kingdom. How is it developing?"

Guo Xie heard this, cupped his hands and said:

"Taking advantage of the chaos in the southwestern counties of the Xia Kingdom, I have already placed some eyeliners in the counties and key passes of the states. It's just that the time is too short to have enough strength."

No matter how chaotic the southwestern counties of Xia Kingdom are now, they are also Xia Kingdom's territory.When the sticky place develops, it is natural to be cautious. It cannot use the power of the court government to quickly spread the intelligence network across the country like Dongchang.

Counting it now, the sticky poles are full, and it has only been a few months to develop in the Xia Kingdom. In the huge southwestern counties of the Xia Kingdom, the eyeliner is already covered with the hidden effect brought by the purple color card.

Xiao Cheng nodded and said:

"The sticky stick needs to be cautious in the country of Xia. The development of kung fu in a few months is already good!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Xie hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the preliminary arrangement is well prepared, and with the help of Zhong Yiwei in the future, it will not take half a year for me to stick the rod enough to develop enough to influence Xia's southwestern counties under the eyes of Xia Guozhi's embroidered clothes!"

Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said:

"I can't wait! I'm not one to act too hastily, but King Qi brought the mission here, which always makes me feel that something is wrong. I'm not a person who will suffer in the dark. I must have the means to counter Xia Guo!"

Although it is still uncertain, Xia Guo's side, nine out of ten, intends to come to cause trouble.And since it is only a matter of time before the two countries have another dispute, let's take this opportunity and make arrangements in advance!
When Xiao Cheng said this, he changed the subject and said coldly:
"You don't need to focus all your attention on developing the forces at the sticky poles. Now in the southwestern counties of the Xia Kingdom, the conflict between the people and the Xia Kingdom's court has become more and more serious. It's like a pile of dry firewood that ignites at once. You You can make good use of this at the sticky pole!"

Well, the secret service agencies, in addition to collecting intelligence, also have to learn to plan to overthrow the regime.

The reason why Xiao Cheng wanted to make a big fuss in the southwestern counties and intensify the conflicts between the southwestern generals and ordinary people, naturally he had this intention long ago.

Although Xiao Cheng didn't want to make it so serious at the beginning, but from the results, it was indeed smoother than Xiao Cheng expected before.

Guo Xie's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately understood Xiao Cheng's meaning, cupped his hands and said:
"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"And Feng Bao, mobilize all the people in your East Factory for me. I want to know every word and deed of the Xia Kingdom mission on the way!"

"Slave obeys the order!" Feng Bao responded immediately.
