Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

At the same time, this is also the foundation that only the top forces have.

After the void on the cliff of the valley slowly closed and Yang Zhao completely lost his opponent, he slowly calmed his breath and asked everyone to start cleaning up the battlefield.

at the same time.

Zhao Shirong, Huang Rong and other girls also came to Yang Zhao's side to see if he was injured.

Yang Zhao felt warm in his heart and said, "Ladies, my husband is fine. Although Taoist Baisun is already a half-step Martial Saint, he has only comprehended the true meaning and has just touched the threshold of Martial Saint. He does not have many top-notch martial arts skills, so he is not a big threat."

Seeing that Yang Zhao was really fine, the girls' reactions were strange.

Concubine Yan was the first to say with disdain: "You stinky bastard, who is your wife? How dare you covet my body? You are a lowly person."

Fang Baihua was embarrassed and annoyed, saying: "Don't talk nonsense, we haven't gotten married yet."

Wu Xingyun appeared calm on the surface, but in reality he was extremely panicked. He said to himself, "You are such a rude young man, you are talking nonsense."

Wang Yuyan was the most shy, and said softly: "Zhao Lang, stop talking nonsense..."

Huang Rong's eyes rolled around and she said, "Brother Zhao, they don't want you anymore. From now on, you belong to Rong'er alone, hehe!"

Huang Rong's words quickly aroused the joint hostility of all the women.

Without giving Huang Rong a chance to explain, Yan Fei, Fang Baihua, Wu Xingyun and Wang Yuyan took Huang Rong away together, preparing to make Huang Rong face the reality so that she would not confuse the big and small Wang in the future.

In the distance, Huang Yaoshi, the crazy doting daughter-loving man, watched this scene, feeling distressed and sighing.

Fortunately, Zhao Shirong came forward and said, "My dear, the sisters are just playing with you. They are still worried about you. Don't worry."

Yang Zhao laughed and put his arms around Zhao Shirong's slender waist.

Zhao Shirong was still very reserved in front of outsiders. He struggled for a while, but failed to break free, so he gave up.

Watching people in the valley cleaning up the battlefield.

Zhao Shirong was lost in Yang Zhao's arms for a moment, then she remembered something and said, "Oh, my husband, will Zhao Min being taken away by Taoist Baisun affect our war situation in the north?"

"Also, I didn't expect that Beiliang, which had been quiet for decades, couldn't sit still anymore. I wonder..."

Beiliang was nominally still under the rule of the Song Dynasty.

But in fact, decades ago, starting from the first generation of Beiliang Killing God, it had already become a country within China during the Song Dynasty.

If it weren’t for the battle sixty years ago in Zhenwu City when Wang Xianzhi, the Grand Guardian of the Song Dynasty, fought with the old Sword God and destroyed the world-famous sword, the Wooden Horse and the Ox, which severely damaged the power of the Northern Liang forces.

I'm afraid that a long time ago, Beiliang had already separated from the Song Dynasty and established its own country.

Yang Zhao patted Zhao Shirong's hand and said, "My lady, please rest assured. The Liao Kingdom is weak, the Jin Kingdom is rising, and the Mongols are strong. The situation in the north is more complicated than you and I imagined. Without the deterrence of the entire Song Dynasty, even if Beiliang is strong, it will never be able to escape from the confrontation between the countries."

"As long as Beiliang Xu Xiao is not a fool, he will definitely not choose to turn against the court at this time. Moreover, it won't be long before Beiliang will compromise and send people to the court to explain and seek peace."

Xu Xiao of Beiliang is a heroic figure who is both good at fighting and governing.

If placed in a chaotic world, Xu Xiao would surely become a dominant force, and he might even establish a country and become an emperor, turning into a true dragon.

However, although there were various drawbacks under the rule of the Song Dynasty, it was by no means the time of its decline.

Beiliang had a small population and a small territory, and was restrained by the Song Dynasty in terms of military equipment and food.

As long as the Song Dynasty cuts off the supply of materials to the Northern Liang, it won't take long before this hungry tiger of Northern Liang will be destroyed by its evil neighbors such as the Liao, Jin, and the Mongols.

All the emperors of the Song Dynasty were cowards and were unwilling to have too deep a feud with their evil neighbor in the north.

This is why Beiliang is struggling to survive in the cracks.

This time, Beiliang made an effort to escort Cai Jing away from the city of Bianliang. Perhaps they saw Cai Jing's influence on the northern nobles and gentry, and wanted to break the shackles of the Song Dynasty's control over Beiliang's materials through Cai Jing.

After hearing Yang Zhao's analysis, Zhao Shirong quickly calmed down.

As for the Mongols, Yang Zhao did not make too much analysis or speculation, because no one knew what impact the external factors would have on the battlefield.

The only thing Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others could do was to notify Cao Wei, Zong Ze, Di Qing and others in the north to be on high alert and make more preparations.

And just when Yang Zhao embraced Zhao Shirong and kissed her.

It didn't take long.

Young general Yue Fei, along with the two brothers Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi, and others, came to the cliff of the valley. They were all filled with blood and murderous aura, and came to report with great excitement.

Yue Fei's eyes lit up astonishingly, and he said, "Sir, we killed 1732 enemy soldiers and captured 40. It's a great victory."

Yue Fei had been studying under Yang Zhao for half a year.

Even Yue Fei himself could not have imagined that after making his debut under the young master, he would be able to become the commander of an army and personally preside over the battle in the valley.

Although the scale of this battle was small, its significance was extraordinary.

Yang Zhao was also very satisfied with Yue Fei's performance on the battlefield and said, "Well done. How are the casualties of the Five Elements Flags and Nine Sun Guards?"

Yue Fei replied first: "30 people of the Five Elements Flag were seriously injured, 72 were slightly injured, and 8 died."

Wu Yunzhao grinned and said, "126 Nine Yang Guards were injured, but none died."

It was an ambush, and it was indeed fought beautifully.

Yang Zhao first comforted the injured and dead, then encouraged Yue Fei, and let the two of them take the Five Elements Flags and the Nine Yang Guards and leave first.

Although the current situation of the imperial court has fallen into the hands of Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong, matters concerning the military, the Five Elements Flag and the Nine Yang Guard should not be exposed for the time being.

After clearing the entire battlefield, it was almost dawn.

At this time, people from the Imperial City Administration, the Six Gates, the Divine Marquis' Mansion and others in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, had already noticed the battle in the valley and sent people to check it out.

Unfortunately, at this time, Yang Zhao and his companions had already returned to Bianjing City with a lot of harvest.

Chapter 199: Cai Jing's role, Zhao Ji's dirty laundry

In the winter of the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, one day before the twelfth lunar month, the weather in Bianjing City seemed to have changed all of a sudden.

The mansion of Cai Jing, who had held power for more than 20 years, was massacred overnight.

The Liufenbantang, which dominated the city of Bianjing, was shattered overnight.

In the Youqiao Group, which had dealings with the royal family and princes, six of the Eight Sword Kings were killed or injured, and the young marquis Fang Yingkan was seriously injured. Even Fang Geyin, who had been in seclusion for a long time, was alarmed.

Zhuge Zhengwo of Shenhou Mansion was almost beaten to death by Guan Qi, a top master who suddenly appeared from the Imperial City Bureau.

The Imperial City Division suffered heavy casualties and was violently invaded by the Six Bats Hall.

Only the Three Divine Constables of the Six Gates miraculously avoided all dangers, fought and killed, put an end to chaos everywhere, became very famous, and won a lot of reputation.

And it’s the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

The entire Song Dynasty's Bianliang was filled with an unusually peaceful situation. Whether it was in the court or in the martial arts world, there was an almost eerie silence.

In the princess's mansion.

Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, Wu Xingyun and Fang Baihua were playing around as usual.

Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and Yan Fei were urgently processing intelligence information coming from various places including Bianjing City, the northern border and the Jiangnan old nest.

There is a jade talisman that can transmit sound.

The forces under Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong are much more convenient than others in transmitting information.

As soon as Cai Jing arrived in Bianliang City, only Liang Shicheng and Li Yan were left among the six thieves. Almost more than 70% of the court power fell into the hands of Zhao Shirong and his famous ministers.

In response to this situation, Zhao Shirong and others can further advance their control over various places within the Song Dynasty.

We were busy like this until almost noon.

After most of the matters had been arranged, Yang Zhao's maid Xiao Qingyang, brought Wei Yixiao and Jiuyou Old Monster to the lobby.

Looking at Wei Yixiao and Jiuyou Old Monster, both of them were filled with joy.

Yang Zhao knew that what he had arranged in advance had been accomplished.

Wei Yixiao was the first to speak, saying, "Master, I and Ajiu have lived up to your trust and have killed Fu Zongshu, Ling Luoshi, Gu Xichao and others. The treasures that the thief Cai Jing had accumulated throughout his life have all been dispersed and transported away by the brothers of the Six Bats Hall. There will not be even a single mistake."

Listening to Wei Yixiao's words, Jiuyou Old Monster was confused, and then glared at Wei Yixiao.

Damn, this old bat has no moral principles.

You've said everything by yourself, how can I take credit for it?

Also, how can a dead bat like you call Ah Jiu?

With a turn of his eyes, Jiuyou Old Monster quickly interrupted the conversation and said, "Young Master, you have boundless divine power, perfect plans, and amazing wisdom. You set up such a situation early on, which is why we, a small part of you, have made contributions. Ah Jiu congratulates you."

If you can't boast about your achievements, then just flatter him and step on that old bat at the same time.

As expected, after hearing what the old monster Jiuyou said, Wei Yixiao panicked on the spot.

Damn that old monster Jiuyou, he has no moral principles.

The other party's words implied that he had stolen the leader's limelight. Damn it.

Wasn't it during this operation that your contribution in fighting against the two great celestial beings was concealed?

In an instant, Wei Yixiao and Jiuyou Old Monster glared at each other.

Seeing this situation, Yang Zhao laughed.

Originally, Wei Yixiao was placed under Cai Jing's command early on. It was thought that Wei Yixiao would be able to find out Cai Jing's various arrangements, escape routes, etc., which would be very good.

Even Yang Zhao and Wei Yixiao didn't expect this.

Before escaping, Cai Jing actually arranged for Wei Yixiao to escort all his life's wealth to meet up with Ling Luoshi, Gu Xichao and others in advance.

This is why Wei Yixiao and Jiuyou Old Monster joined forces and led the Six Bat Hall to destroy Ling Luoshi and others.

He waved his hand to interrupt the argument between Wei Yixiao and Jiuyou Old Monster.

Yang Zhao quickly took the detailed harvest report presented by Wei Yixiao, took a quick look at it, and couldn't help but gasp. Then he handed the detailed harvest report to Zhao Shirong and Yan Fei next to him.

Yan Fei took a quick look and exclaimed, "Golden Marigold Jade Fruit, Glazed Star Grass, I didn't expect that old thief Cai Jing actually had such a treasure. This is a treasure that can prolong life that even the First Emperor of Qin has never collected."

"Everyone in the world says that the Song Dynasty is rich, and it is indeed true. The treasures of Cai Jing alone are almost enough to equal half of the private treasury of the First Emperor. It is truly amazing."

The more Yan Fei was amazed.

The more annoyed Zhao Shirong became, he slammed the table fiercely and said, "Damn Cai Jing, he is simply the biggest rat in the Song Dynasty, and his entire clan should be executed. All ten clans should be executed."

Not to mention the natural treasures such as the golden marigold and the glazed star grass.

What Zhao Shirong was more concerned about was the gold, silver, treasures, mining deeds and other things accumulated by Cai Jing.

Cai Jing's life savings were enough to cover the Song Dynasty's treasury tax revenue for several years.

Just as Zhao Shirong was shouting viciously, Cai Jing, who was escorted to the lobby, collapsed outside the lobby door on the spot with a pale face when he heard the words "kill all ten clans".

The sudden movement quickly attracted the attention of Yang Zhao and others.

Zhao Shirong drew his sword on the spot and strode towards Cai Jing with great momentum.

Cai Jing was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff. He immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Highness, spare my life. Your Highness, spare my life. I am willing to mobilize all my forces to support Your Highness in leading the court."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am not a greedy person. I was forced to do all this by the current government..."

Hear Cai Jing's words.

Yang Zhao's face lit up immediately, and he quickly stopped Zhao Shirong who was about to stab with his sword, saying, "My lady, wait a minute. Although Cai the thief deserves death, what he said does make some sense. If it weren't for the support of the current emperor, the Song Dynasty wouldn't have been in trouble with the six thieves. Let's temporarily spare Cai the thief's life and talk about it later."

Although Cai Jing was frightened, he had been in the officialdom for decades and was a very shrewd person.

After hearing Yang Zhao's words, Cai Jing was shocked at first, and then he kowtowed frantically as if he had grasped the last straw.

While kowtowing, Cai Jing cried bitterly, "Your Highness, Prince Zhao, I was once a subordinate of Lord Jiefu, and I also worked hard for the Song Dynasty and shed sweat for it."

"It was all because of Zhao Ji. When he was still Prince Duan, the previous emperor passed away, and Prince Duan sent someone to poison and blind Prince Jian..."

As the leader of the six thieves who supported Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne, Cai Jing had a lot of negative information about Zhao Ji.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Yang Zhao tried his best to keep Cai Jing alive in the battle last night.

Moreover, Cai Jing was also very aware of the current situation.

Yang Zhao just gave Zhao Shirong some advice and gave him some subtle suggestions.

Cai Jing understood what Yang Zhao meant, and without hesitation, he revealed all the negative information about Zhao Ji in the past, showing great cooperation.

Regardless of whether this kind of person is greedy, treacherous, evil, or bad, it is definitely very comfortable to work with him.

No wonder Cai Jing was highly valued by Zhao Ji and controlled the government for more than 20 years.
