Chapter 176 Is the Grandmaster Expensive?
Northland, official residence!
Groups of black-armored soldiers stood among the palaces and pavilions, looking majestic.

In the main hall, many officials stood respectfully on both sides, watching the discussions in the hall. From time to time, they would add one or two remarks, some arguing or refuting, some being angry or angry.

Xun Shaohe was bored, listening to his subordinates either for criticism or for controversy.

"My lord, I have sent an envoy from the south to see my lord!" A man with an upright face leaned over and said.

"My lord, do you see...see, or don't you see?"

When he heard that it was about the Southland, Xun Shaohe was shocked and said with a smile: "Send an envoy from the Southland?"

"This is a rare thing... Could it be that Old Fourteen wants to give in?"

Xun Shaohe pouted his chin, thought for a while, then waved his hand, and said, "I don't see... I don't see... But I don't see anyone from the south."

He cut off the grain road in the south, just when he had the upper hand, how could he stop with a small taste.How would Xun Shangyi feel if he received this envoy from the south immediately?

Xun Shaohe waved his hand: "No see..."

One of the subordinates admonished: "My lord, this person is a guest, and blood is thicker than water. If my lord insists on not seeing me, I may be guilty of what I have said!"

The so-called truth is based on Lu Wenhou's views on the matter.

The opinions of other outsiders were worthless to Xun Shaohe, but when it came to Marquis Lu Wen's thoughts, Xun Shaohe would never dare to neglect him at all.

"Well...what you said makes some sense."

Xun Shaohe nodded: "Then... let's meet. It's just that I want to meet, but there must be room for me."

"Here!"

Of course, these northern officials had some disapproval of Xun Shaohe's actions.But as a subordinate of a minister, even if the master behaves deviantly, his attitude of loyalty and defense must be clearly shown.

After a while, a young man, led by a waiter, stepped into the main hall together.

"Your Majesty, Chang Yunmeng, the chief minister of the Southern Territory, has met the Northern Territory doctor!"

Stepping into the hall, the young man looked around Zhou Za and then bowed his hands.

"Bold!"

"rude!"

A minister on the right side of Xun Shaohe suddenly opened his eyes angrily, pointed at Chang Yunmeng and shouted angrily, as if he had committed a heinous crime.

The official lifted up his robe, kowtowed to the ground, and said: "My lord, this is really rude. You are the honor of the prince. You are just an envoy. You have no respect when you see your superiors. You have no status when you see the king. I... Please denounce it!”

"Please reprimand it!"

Many officials came out one after another, as if they couldn't wait, they kowtowed to worship.

After all, whether it is reasonable or not, these officials know it in their hearts.This so-called 'sending an envoy' is just a formality.

Even the fanciful words of this envoy are not worth the thought of his master.

Therefore, in order to please their master, his subordinates came out one after another and took the initiative to criticize the envoys sent to the south.

It should be noted that the reason why this envoy was allowed to enter the palace today was just because he could win a "last resort" in the eyes of the nobles in Nanyang Yeting.

Since we are just going through the motions, why not go through this 'cut-scene' in its entirety?

"This……"

Xun Shaohe looked at Chang Yunmeng with a hesitant look on his face, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the envoy would be so angry and angry at the moment, and everyone was talking about it, I..."

Chang Yunmeng said calmly, "My lord, don't bother the northern officials to drive them away. Chang Yunmeng can just leave the palace on his own."

"Why do you need to let all the capable ministers and officials be humbled and act like this? It's really shameful and disrespectful. It's just a shame for me, a foreigner, to look down upon you."

Chang Yunmeng's words were passionate, his sleeves were fluttering, and his expression was calm and composed.

Xun Shaohe's face darkened, he changed his tone and said, "In that case, I'll keep you in the palace!"

"Let me see, the envoy entrusted by the fourteenth brother, what kind of ability can convince me..."

Regarding Xun Shaohe's change of attitude, many officials looked at Chang Yunmeng with a hint of gloating.

There is no reason why a subordinate should not know the temperament of his master.

Xun Shaohe's temperament is extremely domineering, and everything he does depends on his personal likes and dislikes.When he is happy, he can put himself in his noble status, drink and have fun with the slaves and lowly servants, and call each other brothers.

But if you are in a bad mood, no matter how good you are, they will all be shortcomings in his eyes. Those who are wrong deserve to be killed, but those who are right are often more worthy of death than those who are wrong.

This Xun Shaohe is moody, which is evident from this.

If Chang Yunmeng followed the trend and was driven out of the Northland, he might still be able to save his life.But now that Wu Ziqiang is staying in the palace, life and death are basically difficult to see.

Chang Yun Meng Su Rong said: "My lord, thank you doctor for your kindness and forgiveness!"

"You don't need to thank me. Since you don't want to give me a way out, I might as well listen to what your opinions are."

Xun Shaohe raised his hand and said slowly: "If what you say is right, I will give you a way to live. If what you say is nonsense, I will also give you a way."

"look……"

Zheng——

Eight burly men, bare chested and bare breasted, with copper sticks on their shoulders and a tripod with four ears and three legs hanging from it, walked into the hall step by step.

Every time these sturdy men took a step, the ground trembled slightly, and beads of sweat rolled down their noses, but none of them dared to wipe it off. They just blushed and took hard steps.

The tripod fell to the ground with a very pleasant clang.But all the officials sitting here showed fear on their faces, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.

"Add fire..."

call--

These tough men may seem rough and rude, but they are all cultivators.All of them spit out a stream of real fire, which fell onto the cauldron body and burned the cauldron body.

Seeing the real fire raging and the body of the cauldron turning red for a moment, Chang Yunmeng felt a chill in his heart and said, "I wonder what the doctor means?"

Xun Shaohe lazily said: "It's very simple, let me see if you have real talents and learning. If you are just a show, there is no need for you to go back to the South."

"As the fifteenth younger brother of your master, I still have this right."

"This cauldron is the underworld weapon I gave you!"

Xun Shaohe's words were peaceful, but the awe-inspiring madness in them made Chang Yunmeng's heart shudder.

Looking at the sizzling cauldron, Chang Yunmeng calmly said: "I, I should do my best to do this."

…………

In the simple camp, a soldier wearing a black coat and a mask stood on either side.

Looking at the detained scouts, Xun Shaoyu leaned on the recliner and asked lazily: "What number of scouts is this?"

Zhu Yuxing said: "My lord, this is the seventh scout up and down the mountain."

Several dangerous roads in the southeast group of peaks are all in the hands of Xun Shaoyu.Those dangerous roads are steep and dangerous, but no matter whether they are going up the mountain or going down the mountain, they are the only way to go.

In this way, Xun Shaoyu could easily stop these scouts by just squatting in a few dangerous places.

Xun Shaoyu shook his head and said: "They are anxious!"

In just three days, seven scouts were dispatched. Although Gong Liu Zan was a veteran, he inevitably lost some ground.

But now, these thousand soldiers and armors were all held in Xun Shaoyu's palm.Even though Gong Liu Zan was very capable, within a few days he had to retreat to the east.

The cold light in Xun Shaoyu's eyes flickered, and he said to himself: "Actually, it is also a feasible strategy to keep all these soldiers in the south. Otherwise, letting them return to the east will only fuel Xun Shang's arrogance and fight against me. It’s harmful and useless.”

As for how to 'stay' in the south, Xun Shaoyu had his own plan.

As long as the southeast is blocked, when the arrows and food are exhausted, they will be captured without any worries.

Besides, by keeping them trapped for more than ten days, leaving them to fend for themselves, they could still avoid getting their hands dirty.

"My lord, how can this Lord Liu Zan not be in a hurry? The life and death of a thousand troops are all on him. He has made mistakes and will never be able to recover."

Xun Shaoyu looked at the southeast peaks indifferently and whispered: "If people don't attack me, I won't attack them; if they attack me, I will attack them."

"Edicts..."

All the edicts said respectfully: "My lord,"

"Chang Yunguang's side is also having a hard time... I want to go to his place and personally guard the border army."

Beidi's aggressiveness made Xun Shaoyu's anger build up in his heart. If given the opportunity, Xun Shaoyu would not hesitate to cause some trouble.

Zhu Yuxing heard the song and understood its meaning, and said: "My lord, please be patient. Zhu Yu will sit firmly in the southeast and will not let the soldiers from the east invade our southern territory."

Xun Shaoyu said: "You have a great responsibility. As long as there is no chaos in the southeast, you can connect with the west. At a small cost, you can solve my urgent need with the food road in the west."

"So, it's okay if the Northland's trade routes can be opened, and it doesn't hurt if they can't."

Zhu Yuxing said in a deep voice, "Zhu Yu understands."

"Also, before leaving, I will give you eight hundred [Black Wings] riding assistance,"

As soon as Xun Shaoyu opened his mouth, he dispatched more than half of his most elite army.

The edicts acted and said: "My lord, this..."

[Black Wings] The power of the cavalry is obvious to all the officials in the South.It was a powerful army that could fight hard against such a talented race as the barbarians.

The eight hundred [Black Wing] cavalry were already close to half of the military strength of the Southland.

"No need to say more,"

Xun Shaoyu said calmly: "These eight hundred [Black Wing] Riders are half of the property of Nandi. You should understand how to do it!"

"Here!"

Zhu Yuxing was silent for a while, then bowed and bowed heavily.

"This old guy Gong Liu Zan should not be underestimated. He has the martial arts training of a half-step master. We must be careful to guard against this beast and attack the camp at night."

"Although Father Jun is here, they won't go too far, but it's still okay to just disperse you."

Xun Shaoyu took a deep look at Zhu Yuxing. As one of the three masters of Tangyi, Zhu Yuxing would naturally not be a weak and ordinary person.

Zhu Xingxing, who seems to be inconspicuous and impervious to water, is a great master who has undergone nine times of [cutting the hair and washing the marrow], and has cultivated nine mammoth supernatural powers.

Although compared to the half-step master, Zhu Yuxing is still a step ahead, but he is by no means powerless to fight back.

Especially with eight hundred [Black Wings] assisting from the side, even masters at the master level will fall into it.

…………

"Damn..."

Dongdi, official residence,
Xun Shangni showed anger, looked at the trembling people below, and said coldly: "I have repeatedly asked you to report any doubts about the southeast military affairs."

"Now...now..."

"Gong Liu Zan has a thousand soldiers. There has been no news for three days. You people who are in the position of corpse meal... unexpectedly did not come to report to me until today."

"Deserve to kill! Deserve to kill!!"

Xun Shang's murderous words scared many people to their bones and made them soften immediately.

A minister said in a low voice: "My lord, Gong Liu is a very experienced general. He leads the troops very thoroughly and never makes any mistakes. You report every day, which is really too frequent."

"Humph……"

Murderous intent surged in Xun Shang's eyes. At this moment, he really had murderous thoughts.

Xun Taiyong was in charge of Cai Di. Although his disciples were all over the place, Xun Shang was at home like a fish in water. He was even able to become the most powerful official in Cai Di with the help of several elders in Cai Di.

But success is also due to my father Yu Ze, and failure is also due to my father Yu Ze.

Although there were many talented people under Xun Shang's command, they all regarded him as a nephew and could respect him, but showed little awe.

"Frequently?"

Xun Shangyi had no expression on his face as he looked at several "highly respected" elders.

The peaks in the southeast are close to the East Land, and there are also special post stations within the East Land, with dozens of high-quality war horses taking turns to drive them.

It's just a journey of several hundred miles, and we go back and forth every three or four hours at a high speed. How can it be so frequent?

"now what?"

"There has been no news for three days, and even the grain transport officer has not been seen coming or going. The army may have been in danger."

Xun Shangwei sighed and said, "Even if thousands of people were killed, I wouldn't be surprised."

Sending a large army to another place, if it weren't for Xun Shangji's self-sufficiency, he would not have dared to station directly.

Even meat buns beating dogs is not the way to play!

Everyone was startled and said: "Young Master Shaoyu, a mere concubine, how dare you do such a reckless thing?"

"A thousand troops have been wiped out in the south, and we must ask for an explanation. Could it be that he maintains the dignity of a prince and dares to violate the king's laws and arbitrarily tests the law by himself?"

Marquis Lu Wen is as high as God's will. During the more than ten years that Marquis Wen has been in charge of the country, those who dare to violate Marquis Wen's taboos are usually either completely cold or die miserably.

Do you really think that the overlord of the generation, Marquis Lu Wen, was a loving father who would never eat his own children?
"He wouldn't be so unwise,"

Xun Shangwei sighed quietly, with a sense of regret.

"Gong Liu Zan's army is only trapped in a corner at most. Xun Shaoyu will not dirty his hands."

After all, no one would refuse to exchange the lives of a general and a thousand soldiers for a three-hundred-mile territory.

Moreover, Xun Shaoyu defeated the barbarians with his army and gained more than a thousand miles of barbarian territory, which made Xun Shangli even more jealous.

"My lord, why don't we march to the southeast...and advance three thousand more to force him to surrender?"

These three thousand troops were betting that Xun Shaoyu would give in.

Once the face is broken, neither of the two opposing parties can think of staying out.

Xun Shangyi slowly shook his head and said: "Sending three thousand troops will make Xun Shaoyu jealous, and may be able to break the siege of the old general Liu Zan, but..."

He patted the table and said, "Four thousand troops..."

"How many soldiers can a local magistrate have? I have four thousand soldiers in the south. How do the Nanyang officials and the feudal lords of Dayi view me, Xun Shangli?"

Xun Shangyi said seriously: "Insatiable greed!"

Sometimes 'reputation' is extremely false, but people have to pay attention to it.

After all, it’s easy to tell which one is more reassuring, a person with no integrity or a person with a reputation for reputation.

"Retreat,"

Xun Shangwei said calmly: "Send an envoy to go to the south and explain the whole story to the officials in the south."

He put some emphasis on the words "Chen Ming's whole story".

"I believe he will understand my painstaking efforts."

Xun Shangwei said slowly, but when he pressed his palm on the table top, the table table made a rattling sound.

The eyebrows of everyone in the hall were beating, and it was obvious that Xun Shang was not as calm as he appeared.

…………

Border camp!

Flags are flying, armor is heavy, and soldiers are fighting.

"Lord!" Chang Yunguang knelt down on one knee and paid homage.

"Lord!"

All the ministers and horses also knelt on the ground with respectful expressions.

"Get up,"

With a warm smile on his face, Xun Shaoyu personally helped the general up.

"You and I, why are you so cautious,"

Xun Shaoyu said 'Bu Yu': "The chariot on the right is my humerus. What's the reason for being so alienated from Shaoyu?"

"No, no!"

Chang Yunfeng took the lead and said: "As a general in the army, a minister should know the heart of respecting the superior and the superior. If there is no such a heart, how long will it take to overthrow?"

"Because of the knowledge of superiority and inferiority, I can control the army with power and govern the army with strictness. This is the way of a minister."

Hearing this, Xun Shaoyu looked surprised. He nodded casually and said: "You Cha can understand this principle, which shows that he has gained a lot of experience in the military."

A person who has such insight can be said to be a wise and knowledgeable person who knows the way of protecting oneself to the extreme.

In the past, when he was the Taizu of Dayue, there were only two or three ministers in the dynasty who could understand the way of starting well and ending well.

If Xun Shaoyu really didn't want to go on a killing spree and leave a name for being unkind in the history of history, the successor to the throne would also be quite satisfactory.Otherwise, except for these two or three people, there will be very few people who can end well in the long run.

"Young master praises you,"

Xun Shaoyu looked at the innocent-looking Chang Yunguang and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Slippery."

Entering the big tent, Xun Shaoyu sat at the first place, Chang Yunguang took his seat, and other Sima military officers also took their seats.

Xun Shaoyu was the first to speak: "Chang Yun, you know a lot about the situation in the North. You might as well tell me one by one so that I can understand intuitively."

Chang Yunguang moved his beard and said: "Tsk, tsk... Beidi..."

"The northern land is backed by several big towns. If we only talk about prosperity, our southern land cannot be compared with it. But our southern land has been fighting with barbarians all year round, and it has cultivated a brave blood. In terms of the bravery of soldiers, the northern land is not as good as the southern land. That’s a lot.”

As soon as Chang Yunguang opened his mouth, he pointed directly at the key point.

"Well, the North is rich, the South is poor..."

Xun Shaoyu was thoughtful, and said: "However, our troops in the south are strong, while the army in the north is weak."

Chang Yunguang said helplessly: "Yes, regardless of the master level, if we only look at the quality of the soldiers, the northern land is far inferior to our southern land."

In the main world, one person forms an army and one person destroys a city. The so-called elite army can still suppress the Grandmaster level.But once you reach the Grand Master level, there is nothing you can do.

Unless the Taoist soldiers are dispatched, the princes can really do nothing to deal with the great masters and strong men of the heaven and human level, and the general army.

Xun Shaoyu frowned: "This time the Northland cut off the Southland grain route, it hit me seven inches in the face."

"Xun Shang'er is marching into the south, and I still have a plan to control him. But Xun Shaohe is blocking the passes in the north and prohibiting the trade routes in the south. We can't interfere in this."

"In this case, we can only resort to wisdom, not beg!"

He asked: "Chang Yun, you have been patrolling the Northern Territory for a long time. Do you know how many experts there are in the Northern Territory?"

"How come my lord is paying attention to the masters from the North?"

Xun Shaoyu spread his hands and said, "No one else, know yourself and know Bier!"

Being able to know how many masters are entrenched in the North Land can also give Xun Shaoyu an idea.

Although he only has 31 levels of Yi Jin Jiu Gu and is a half-step master, the average master level master may not be his opponent.

Ordinary masters with one or two true dragon powers really don't take him seriously.

Even in today's Shangyang Dynasty, it is impossible for people like these heretical Yuanshen to survive hundreds of rounds in the hands of Xun Shaoyu.With at least thirty moves, Xun Shaoyu can hold You Jing and defeat Yang Chao Suspicion of Life.

After all, with "Hunyuan Yiqi" the body is not bad, and "Nine Questions of the Heavenly Knife" kills Xeons, the combination of the two unique arts is not just the effect of one plus one equals two.

Xun Shaoyu's rapid progress in the past three years is beyond anyone's imagination.

Chang Yunguang pondered for a moment and said: "If we talk about the heroes in the North, there is only one true master at the master level... I'm afraid there is only one person!"

"Oh……"

"That man calls himself Jiuyunlong. He has the magical skill of "turning clouds and raining over the nine-hide dragon's sleep", which has dominated Cai for thirty years. It is said that the old ancestor Fu Xun Taiyong once personally conquered Jiuyunlong, but due to unfinished business, Full credit. Later, Cai Di was divided into four parts. Since Jiu Yunlong's ancestors lived in the North Land, he asked the North Land doctor to serve as his personal staff."

"The old master has not done all his work, how can this Nine Cloud Dragon be qualified to win in front of the old master?"

When Xun Shaoyu heard this, he sneered and thought it was extremely funny.

What kind of person is that Da Zongfu? He is a person who has mastered the power of nine true dragons and is just one step away from being able to become a saint.

Even if Xun Shaoyu and Xun Shangli, the youngest son of the old master, were at odds, they would never dare to show any disrespect to this old master.

After all, this Qianli Cai land was originally the fiefdom of the old master. It was the old master who gave up the fiefdom and divided it among the four younger generations.This is also the case for the underachievers cultivated by the old master. The old master himself believed that he should get a fair share, but Xun Shaoyu couldn't help but think about it.

For such a big shot, the one who can win his favor should at least be a master of the Five Dragons and Sea level among the Xiantian Grandmasters.

This Jiuyunlong mixed number is loud, but it is not called "Nineyunlong". It really has the power of nine dragons to shake the sky.

To have the power of three real dragons should be boasted to Jiu Yunlong for a lifetime.

However, if there are three, six or nine levels of masters, one step away from them is a world away from them.When it comes to the situation of the old master, one can really crush such a person to death with just one finger.

Although the Grand Master and the Innate Grand Master are both in the category of "rebirth", the Grand Master is definitely not comparable to the Grand Master.

There are hundreds of master figures, but there may not be a single great master of martial arts!

Xun Shaoyu said quietly: "It is difficult to tell the truth from the rumors in the market, but it is a great achievement for the small Beidi to have one or two masters. This Nine Cloud Dragon may not be able to make a living next to the doctor in Beidi. How clever."

Having said that, a master at the master level is a figure that can be counted on no matter where he is in front of the princes' tent.

Now he is willing to work under Xun Shaohe and run around as he is sent.This is evident from the profound heritage of the Xun family that spans thousands of years.

Although there were people like Shangyang Chao and others in Xun Shaoyu's tent, they were not at the mercy of Xun Shaoyu.

Ordinary Yuanshen people, or master figures, all have their own dignity.

"This Jiuyunlong, I'd like to see him last time."
