The old immortal of the stars, the Dharma controls the heavens

Chapter 182 Gu Changfeng (Happy New Year)

The rivers and lakes look calm on the surface, but in fact they are already turbulent underneath.

The present is just the calm before chaos.

When the Five Mountains Sword Sect began to seek a merger, and Zuo Lengchan, the current leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, took the lead in starting this matter, the Five Mountains Sword Sect temporarily focused its attention on this.

The Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect, which are like needles in the righteous path, are sharpening their swords and making various preparations to prepare for future contingencies.

As for Ding Chunqiu, who stirred up the turmoil in the world, based on the idea that the bigger the turmoil, the more expensive the fish, after Ding Chunqiu signaled those who followed him to throw out the target, he was not prepared to do it with great fanfare. Focus on another thing.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass should go first.

In Ding Chunqiu's case, public opinion comes first, and although the sect and the army are essentially different, many people can bring their own dry food, but with the current trend in the world, the armed forces of the sect are not much different from the army.

Public opinion and food have already moved.

After Ding Chunqiu listed Shaolin Temple as the next target of the Sun and Moon God Sect, he waited for a few days and felt that the news might have fallen into the ears of the Shaolin Temple, so he leaked another piece of news.

That is to borrow the words of the former leader Dongfang Bubai to describe the relationship between the Zixia Divine Art, the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual and the Sunflower Book, which were finally combined into the "Innate Art".

Rumors and rumors were used to reveal the ambition of the Buddhist Shaolin Temple.

In this regard, Ding Chunqiu is not worried at all that his master Yue Buqun will do the opposite. As long as Yue Buqun's obsession with reviving the Huashan Sect is not eliminated, then Yue Buqun's scheming will use this rumor to succeed. When it comes to completely substantiating the rumors, at least they have to be grounded.

This makes it impossible for Shaolin Temple to prove the truth of the matter.

Because no matter how these monks tried to prove it, there was no way to overturn the "Innate Skill" written by Dongfang Bubai, who combined the three skills.

When people can't falsify, it doesn't matter whether something is true or not.

Ding Chunqiu still remembered when he left Huashan and saw his master dressed in night clothes in the bamboo forest. However, he discussed this and proposed the corresponding old-fashioned method.

Considering that Gentleman Jianyue Buqun had read so many books and had been acting secretly for such a long time, Ding Chunqiu didn't think that the other party was doing too little in secret.

On the road.

"Eh~~~"

Riding a horse named Wu Yun Ta Xue, Yue Lingshan was walking in front, looking at the road in front of her, and said: "I didn't expect that we would have to walk the same road again."

"Now that I think about it, in Heimuya, the second senior brother is probably too busy to keep his feet off the ground."

As if remembering something, Yue Lingshan couldn't help laughing.

This road is exactly the way to Jiangnan.

You must know that before, they had just beaten Ren Woxing to death in the West Lake Prison.

Go back now when the time comes.

"Everything in the world is just changing."

In the sedan chair, Ding Chunqiu gave the answer.

At that time, because he had not seen the woman Xue Qianxun, and even though he had the foundation to do whatever he wanted, Ding Chunqiu was finally convinced of the situation of the Sun Moon God Sect.

Ding Chunqiu still traveled in a luxurious sedan chair, covered with gauze, and was carried by a group of four maids from the Old Stars and Seas cult.

Also accompanying the team were Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jingchao and Sima De, the three former chief eunuchs of Songshan.

After these three people decided to surrender, they didn't have much dissatisfaction.

Even if they are exposed now and questioned by Zuo Lengchan, the three of them have enough reasons to explain this betrayal.

They had witnessed with their own eyes the power of the leader Ding Chunqiu back in Fuzhou City, and they were already yearning for him at that time.

How can you blame the three brothers?

This was proposed by Da Yin Yang Hand Lehou and ordered by the leader Zuo Lengchan. This was their own choice and they couldn't blame others.

With such emotions as inner support, the three of them no longer cared much about their respective reputations in the world.

Especially after witnessing the battle between Ding Chunqiu and Dongfang Bubai at Blackwood Cliff, their confidence reached its peak.

From now on, this world belongs to the leader, to Xingxiu Sea, to the Sun and Moon God Sect, and to them as well.

The people currently staying at Blackwood Cliff are a group of former Sword Sect disciples led by second senior brother Laudeno and the leader of the Five Poison Sect, Lan Fenghuang.

After receiving the Black Sky Book, becoming a robbery slave, and even practicing the Bone Forging Chapter of the I Ching and the Seven Seven Forty-Nine Return Wind Dance Willow Sword given later, Laudno had already taken advantage of a shortcut to overcome the golden mean. Become a top player.

Coupled with the help of Cheng Buyou, Cong Buqi, and Lan Fenghuang, as well as the power of the Black Sky Book and the Three Corpses Brain Pill, Laudeno was enough to solve the problems Ding Chunqiu had given him.

Except for the necessary three times in the morning, noon and evening, he sincerely led the congregation to express their praise for Ding Chunqiu, other things were secondary.

Laudnor understands this.

Although the second senior brother Luo Denuo was sent by Zuo Lengchan to work undercover in the Huashan sect in the past, everyone from Yue Buqun to Ning Zhongze and his wife to the other disciples of the sect had to admit that Luo Denuo was handling the matter. The time is very organized.

It's all dirty work, and I can do it.

The etiquette is also thoughtful and clear.

Except undercover!

But at that time, the reason why Laudno was like this was because of his butt problem, coupled with his mediocre martial arts skills, and his inherent loyalty to Zuo Lengchan.

Now...

With the help of the evil-fighting sword manual written by Laudno, Zuo Lengchan was undoubtedly trapped.

Ding Chunqiu personally cut off Laudno's retreat.

As the saying goes, when I think of Junior Brother Tou, the sky and the earth are widened in an instant.

Since becoming the steward of Xingxiu Sea, Laudno has fully unleashed his potential as an 'honest man'.

The general direction may not be so far-reaching due to my past position, but when it comes to small things, it is comprehensive.

After his outstanding performance in Xingxiu Sea, Ding Chunqiu chose to hand over the task to Laudnuo, and let Cheng Buyou, Cong Buqi and Lan Fenghuang assist him.

Because of Laudno's own position, he cannot have too much ambition.

There was only one way left for him.

There are two Fuso people following the team at this moment.

It was Sarutobi Sun and Moon and Daizu who were good at transformation who were waiting beside the sedan on horseback. These two people were the leaders of the group of Fuso people after the death of Senjun Hattori.

The difference is that there is a conflict between Sarutobi Hiyuki and Dai Zushi.

At this moment, the two of them were tired of looking at each other, so they stayed on both sides of the sedan.

Dai Zushi's actions made Sarutobi Sun and Moon remember this hatred deep in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, there would not be such a problem between the two, because Sarutobi Sun and Moon were far superior to Dai Zushi in terms of identity, and there was an essential difference in their identities.

Ninjas are shady, they are much worse than samurai, let alone people like Sarutobi Sun and Moon.

In a sense, Dai Zushi is a relatively precious chess piece that can die.

The so-called high status is just an imagination brought about by comics.

But after voluntarily surrendering to Ding Chunqiu, Dai Zu's status was artificially elevated by Ding Chunqiu. When he was given the power of the Black Sky Book, the magical powers produced were also very different.

Sarutobi Sun and Moon are passive.

There is a big difference between active and passive.

The situation shown in the team was that Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jingchao and Sima De also subconsciously surrounded Sarutobi Sun and Moon in the center.

After all, Dai Zushi came to Sarutobi Sun and Moon for the leader, and Ding Chunqiu also took a fancy to the entire Fuso in the future. However, Sarutobi Sun and Moon have not attracted enough people yet.

Ninjas are inferior to retainers and samurai, but Dai Zushi surrendered early, and his merits are high. Along the way, everyone was extremely quiet.

Only Yue Lingshan chatted with her junior brother about some issues from time to time, and even used the skill of transmitting sounds into secrets when saying certain words.

The thing of transmitting sounds into secrets is very simple, and it is a standard equipment for those with advanced internal strength.

At this moment, Yue Lingshan was chatting with her junior brother using voice transmission.

"Junior brother!"

Yue Lingshan said: "I think that when I go to Jiangnan this time, these married families that cooperate with the Holy Cult must put their daughters on the table for the junior brothers to choose."

"I have learned about Yang Shishi who has followed Xue Qianxun. Although she is the daughter of the Yang family, she is not a real legitimate daughter, but a concubine."

"It's just that in the process of marrying Dongfang Bubai, she was called the legitimate daughter."

"I don't care what happens to Dongfang Invincible."

"But to my junior brother, that is disrespectful."

It was precisely because of her status as a concubine and her experience in the family that after Dongfang Bubai died, Yang Shishi neither stayed in Heimuya nor returned to her own clan in Jiangnan. Instead, she followed Dongfang Bubai's concubine. Xue Qianxun left Heimuya.

It looked like two women were going for a stroll in the rivers and lakes.

For Ding Chunqiu, with Xue Qianxun's temperament, it was obvious that this would not be a retreat, but a way to seek revenge for Dongfang Bubai.

If nothing else happens, Xue Qianxun will only have one partner left to cooperate with.

That is Ren Yingying.

Ding Chunqiu did not refute the young senior sister's suggestion.

Replacing the elders with the young, and replacing the heirs with the concubines, this has been the practice of large families since ancient times.

From Yue Lingshan's point of view, although the cooperation between the two parties may not be deep, and in some respects it can be regarded as a show, but even if it is a show, it must be serious and not perfunctory.

She wanted to choose one herself.

"……Um!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, little senior sister."

Ding Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then agreed, and said, "After we go to see Gu Changfeng, you will be responsible for the affairs in Jiangnan."

"it is good."

Yue Lingshan agreed, but her expression was still quite serious.

Because Yue Lingshan knew that compared to the wealthy Jiangnan families with different ideas, Gu Changfeng, who was born in a thousand households of Jinyiwei and was in charge of the Jiangnan Navy at the time, was the real trouble.

The trouble is not only Gu Changfeng, his identity as a Jinyiwei, but also his Jiangnan Navy.

Jinyiwei, Dongchang.

These two existences, even in the world of martial arts, are scandalous existences.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if Jianghu sects want to get close to the government, they will always take the path of military commanders, and do not want to provoke Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei.

For example, Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan School.

However, in Ding Chunqiu's view, the Songshan faction was good at killing generals, and it was not necessarily the Jinyiwei or Dongchang methods.

After becoming the leader of the cult in Heimuya, Ding Chunqiu issued orders based on the cult leader's decree and began to collect information on the Jiangnan noble families and the Jiangnan Navy.

During the journey to Jiangnan, corresponding information was collected from time to time along the way.

Among them, the one responsible for this was Hei Heizi, who followed him after the Battle of West Lake and became a member of the Xingxiu Sea cult.

In terms of understanding of the scholars in the official circles of Jiangnan, the main ones are the former Four Friends of Meizhuang.

During the twelve years they stayed in Meizhuang, West Lake, while taking care of Ren Woxing, they had a lot of contacts with wealthy people and officials.

It talks about chess, calligraphy and painting, and the literati.

As the saying goes, it is hidden in the city.

When Xiang Wentian first searched for Ren Woxing's traces, he thought he was being held in a deep mountain forest somewhere. He simply went the wrong way.

Looking back now, these four friends of Meizhuang are really of great use.

Ding Chunqiu felt that when he returned to Hangzhou this time, he wanted to let Hei Baizi bring back his three friends who had been living in seclusion.

soon.

Within two days, Ding Chunqiu's team, with the cooperation of Black Sky Book God Zutong, reached the border and entered Jiangnan.

……

Jiangnan Navy, camp.

Many large ships are staying on the water mooring, and the nearby shore is where the Jiangnan Navy's camp is located.

At this time, Gu Changfeng, the Jinyiwei Qianhu who was in charge of the Jiangnan Navy, was holding a letter and was sitting there, watching quietly.

In front of him, two subordinates stood respectfully.

Opposite Gu Changfeng stood a Western barbarian wearing religious robes and with red hair.

"Are you here after Matteo Ricci?"

Gu Changfeng put down the letter in his hand and asked, "Do you mean preaching?"

"I followed General Gulie to escort the gunboats. God bless them." The missionary, who was born in Spain, first made a sign of the cross on his chest, and then bowed respectfully to Gu Changfeng.

The so-called "do as the Romans do when in a native place" is guided by the guidance of our ancestor Matteo Ricci. Basically, those who come later can speak Chinese.

From the other party's words, Gu Changfeng also knew the other party's intention.

However, his answer made Gu Changfeng, a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, very unhappy.

He Gu Changfeng was a dignified guard with thousands of households, and he was a dignified naval governor in the south of the Yangtze River. The gunboat he wanted actually had to go through the hands of Dongchang.

What kind of gunboat does Dongchang want?

Rebellion?

Will he fight?

The hand of Dongchangchang Gong Gujinfu was too far.

If Gujinfu doesn't deal with the affairs of the world, why bother here?

Needless to say, if the Jiangnan Navy wants to take over these gunboats next, it will have to bargain with these eunuchs from the East Factory, and maybe even give them gifts themselves.

The Japanese pirates haven't even started to suppress them, but there are a lot of people inside who are holding them back. Gu Changfeng has already felt it at this moment, and it's simply a dilemma.

Dongchang, and those clean civil servants.

What a bastard!

With these guys, how could Gu Changfeng wipe out the Japanese pirates properly?

Gu Changfeng was still very lucky, fortunate that he had the status of a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to rely solely on his status as a military commander.

While feeling unhappy, Gu Changfeng couldn't say anything more, so he still motioned to his subordinates to prepare generous gifts.

Gu Changfeng had no idea of ​​getting military salary, but decided to make a fortune from other places.

He felt that he should let the missionary introduce himself to the Spanish General Guile.

Then, Gu Changfeng seemed to remember something and suddenly asked: "Can you make cannons?"

PS: Although "The Swordsman: The Rise of the Storm" is a bad movie, Xue Qianxun and the BGM of the same name are really good. Although she was played by one person, I feel Xue Qianxun is more beautiful than Nie Xiaoqian.
