Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 238: The Courage Is Not Enough

The Tiandao Song Que made a brazen move to snatch the inheritance of the great master left by Xie Xuan, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, causing an uproar in the world.

Don't look at the rumors that Wu Dong released earlier, expressed disdain for Song Que, and even shouted the astonishing words of "Song Que is a fart".

It is an indisputable fact that the Heavenly Knife is the Heavenly Knife, and it is the most powerful existence in the Sui Dynasty.

After many years of retreat and painstaking practice in the way of the sword, he borrowed the heads of first-class masters to declare to the world: his sword is as sharp as ever!
At the same time, Song Que, who had snatched the inheritance of the great master, did not continue to go to the Sharpening Hall to retreat, but reappeared to preside over the overall situation of the Song Clan.

Is this Song Que's statement that he has adjusted his strategy and wants to actively participate in Jianghu affairs?

When the news spread to the hinterland of the Central Plains, naturally many people from the Jianghu and ordinary people talked about it.

"Song Que is very powerful today. Why did you hear the rumors from that person that Song Que's strength is average?"

"It's just a fart, Tiandao Song Que is a strong man who has been famous for a long time, his strength is on the same level as the evil king Shi Zhixuan, how could he not be powerful?"

"Indeed, I heard that there were as many as ten first-class masters who were killed by her on the spot when they were competing for the Grandmaster's inheritance?"

"It's almost the same. This one is really ruthless. Not only has he snatched the inheritance of the great master, but he has also severely damaged many forces in the world!"

"Could it be that Song Que is not afraid that the crowd will be excited and be besieged by many gangster sects who have lost their masters?":
"I'm afraid, as long as Song Que, the Heavenly Saber, is still there, the Song Clan doesn't have to worry about this!"

"Tsk, for a moment I forgot that the Song Clan is one of the four big clans. He is very strong in his own right, and with the addition of Song Que, a heavenly sword, there is really no need to worry too much!"

"Now, I'm afraid it's the other big factions who are worried!"

"How to say?"

"The Song Clan snatched the great master inheritance of Xie Xuan, the famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. With the background of the Song Clan, there may be a few strong masters at the master level. This is called other Jianghu big factions, and even how do the other three families live?"

"..."

This is indeed the case. Ever since the news spread, the voices of the entire Jianghu discussing the Heavenly Saber Song Que have not been interrupted.

The eyes of a group of powerful forces were involuntarily attracted to them.

Judging by Song Que's posture, this is about to come out of the arena again.

Don't talk about others, even the Wagang village where Wu Dong is located had a serious discussion, or it would be more appropriate to say that a gossip meal is more appropriate.

There is no way, it is obviously inappropriate for the Wagang Army to attack the bustling city at this time.

Fortunately, there is a canal next to it that can collect tolls, and with the large amount of food and supplies provided by Wu Dong, otherwise it would not be easy to feed the tens of thousands of people in the cottage.

At this time, a group of Wagang veterans realized that they wanted to follow Wu Dong's troops to plunder the nearby manor fields, but it was too late.

As soon as they investigated, they were completely dumbfounded.

At some point, Wu Dong's department had already brought all the manor fields within a radius of a hundred miles under control.

As far as Chong Wu Dong's character and methods are concerned, these manor fields under control, including the population in them, are all under strict control and management.

If you want to ask him to spit it out on his own initiative, hehe...

Otherwise, Wu Dong would not be able to provide Wagang Village with a steady stream of food and supplies.

If they wanted to plunder, they had to go hundreds of miles away.

It's not impossible, but they just want to plunder, and they don't have the slightest idea of ​​farming. In the end, the manor fields after plundering are still cheaper for Wu Dong.

As long as some Wagang veterans thought that it was Wu Dong who got the cheapest in the end, they felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zhai Rang, the leader, had a broad temper and coordinated the relationship between Wu Dong and a group of Wagang elders very well.

If Wu Dong got the manor fields they looted, he would have to provide the cottage with a sufficient amount of money, food and materials as compensation.

Such a good thing of picking up cheap things for nothing, he naturally readily agreed.

Veteran Wagang was barely satisfied with this, and from time to time he led his younger brothers to march hundreds of miles to plunder the country manor fields that had not been captured by Wu Dong for the time being.

It's just that these manors and fields have been prepared, and the Wagang Army who only thought about looting inevitably suffered some hardships.

In the end, under the watchful eye of Wu Dong's younger brother, they didn't dare to commit crimes, even if they robbed, they didn't feel very happy.

Later, I simply didn't bother to dispatch at will.

Wu Dong didn't care so much, the Wagang veterans took their younger brother to the expedition, and when they passed by Wu Dong to control the manor area, they gave a good boost to the economic vitality here.

There are elite troops stationed in the manor, and third-rate masters to supervise the discipline. The guards in the village are not weak in martial arts, but they are not soft persimmons that are easy to pinch.

In short, these Wagang robes were not given the slightest chance to harm their own territory.

After a few troubles, in the end it was the other Wagang elders and their subordinates who suffered, so they were unwilling to continue wandering around the countryside.

Anyway, the food can still be enjoyed for a long time, and if they have nothing to do, they can only gossip about the situation outside the world, and they are very happy to participate.

Hearing the rumors that Tiandao Song Que might return to the arena, they were taken aback and made them seem like great heroes in the arena.

The tone of the speech is extremely loud, and I don't know where the confidence and shame come from?
Shan Xiongxin, on the other hand, has the urge to try.

"I knew Jiangnan would be so lively, maybe I would have to make do with it!"

In private, when I asked Wu Dong for advice on martial arts, I often said this.

"Come on, it's better not to get involved in such things!"

Wu Dong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "If you really have leisure time, then ride alone on the grassland!"

"Well, when I'm ready, I'll go meet the masters on the prairie for a while!"

Shan Xiongxin smiled awkwardly, and then said to himself: "I heard that there is a guy named Wu Zun Bixuan on the grassland. He is very famous and is still a strong master. Chief Wu, do you think I have the strength to fight against him?"

"Have!"

Wu Dong chuckled and said: "The premise is that you have to master more subtle body control methods, as well as attack and defense techniques!"

"I'm sure you've heard the rumors in the Jianghu before. I don't know if you've ever thought about it. Murong Chui in the legends of the Borderlands is an out-and-out general on the battlefield, but his strength has reached the level of a great master!"

Speaking of this, he said bluntly: "I don't expect your strength to reach that level, but if you can reach a level comparable to that of a master, it is enough to gallop on the battlefield and run amok!"

"Even if you face a powerful Jianghu master, it doesn't matter if you can't beat anyone, self-protection still doesn't explain the problem!"

Shan Xiongxin was stunned when he heard that, and suddenly asked excitedly: "Chief Wu, the strong men in the legends of the borderlands may have their inheritance left behind. Do you think there are any powerful generals left behind?"

"Of course!"

Wu Dong chuckled lightly, putting on a look of 'children can be taught',

"In this way, those families of generals should be inherited by military generals!"

Shan Xiongxin said excitedly: "I just don't know how to get the core secrets in the hands of these families!"

You also know that it is the core secret of the general family!
Wu Dong laughed and said, "No, you're going in the wrong direction!"

Seeing Shan Xiongxin's puzzled face, he smiled and said: "It's definitely useless to find a family of generals. I guess their inheritance should be word of mouth!"

Shan Xiongxin frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, it really makes sense.

If the Shan family had a unique inheritance of generals, it would not be described on paper.

"Then what should we do, we can't quietly arrest people for questioning, right?"

Doing so would be too risky, and if the content of the forced confession was not true, he would be in great trouble.

"do not worry!"

Wu Dong chuckled and said, "It's hard to target a family of generals, but it's not just a family of generals that has a complete inheritance of generals!"

"What does Chief Wu mean, are those aristocratic families with a long history?"

"That's right!"

Wu Dong's eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "These great families must have a lot of military commander inheritance in their hands, and they will record it in books!"

Regardless of whether it was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, aristocratic families relied on knowledge monopoly to stabilize their family status.

Treating "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Songs" and the like are just a cover for external publicity, to tell the world and the emperor that their family has mastered knowledge, especially in which areas they are particularly good at.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was already the afterglow of the military merit system, so although the aristocratic family attached great importance to the military force of the family guard, they did not pay much attention to the inheritance of generals.

They may have the inheritance of top generals in their hands, but they don't care too much about it.

Besides, the current era is an era in which true qi and internal strength are the mainstream, and it is certain that the relatively rough inheritance of generals will not be taken seriously.

Shan Xiongxin said distressedly: "Leader Wu, it is not easy to get the inheritance of generals from the aristocratic family!"

"It depends on the person!"

Wu Dong didn't take it seriously, and said leisurely: "Look at the result of Yang Guang's second battle against Goguryeo. If it follows my inference..."

The following words were not spoken, but Shan Xiongxin knew what it meant.

After glancing at Shan Xiongxin lightly, Wu Dong said coldly: "Once there is turmoil in the world, your chance will come!"

"Don't be fooled by the name of the aristocratic family. It's hard to say what they were like hundreds of years ago. The turmoil in the world is when they are in the most dangerous moment!"

"The Zheng family in Rongyang, which is the closest, is one of the so-called Five Surnames and Seven Wangs. I'm actually quite curious about the power their family possesses!"

Wu Dong smiled lightly, revealing two rows of thick white teeth: "I really want to find out why the Zheng family is so awesome, and where is the awesomeness?"

Shan Xiongxin was horrified, and the way he looked at Wu Dong changed, as if looking at a fool, but he didn't dare to speak out.

"What kind of expression do you have? Do you still want to inherit the military commander? You are still not brave enough. You have to practice hard to avoid being embarrassing in the future..."
