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

By the time the two women were completely dealt with, even Yang Zhao, whose pure yang and pure Taoist body was gradually reaching the pinnacle of heaven and man, felt a little weak and his waist was numb.

The moment I walked out of the room.

Yang Zhao even felt a little regretful. He should not have demonstrated to Daiqisi, Yin Susu and other girls the methods of refining their own physiques. When they exploded, even he himself could not bear it.

The Samsara Sutra and the Heart and Mind Sutra are nothing more than the interweaving of Tao and Principle, which is Tao but not Dharma.

It seems that it is time to upgrade the main cultivation techniques such as the Great Sun Patrolling the Sky, the Zhoutian Starry Way, and the Taiyin Spirit Refining Record.

Especially the Pure Yang Immaculate Dao True Body, we should also find a way to take it a step further and awaken it.

And just when Yang Zhao was thinking about something.

Suddenly, a panicked figure swept across countless houses in Suzhou City like green smoke. In a short while, it rushed into the Western Chu Ruiyuan and knelt down in front of Yang Zhao with a thud.

The person who came was the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao who had not been seen for a long time.

But at this time, Wei Yixiao's body was covered with scars, it was a horrible sight.

Seeing this, Yang Zhao's face suddenly darkened.

Wei Yixiao said anxiously, "Master, something bad has happened..."

Chapter 279: Beiliang's Sudden Attack

With Yang Zhao's current status and position, as well as his cultivation power, there are not many things in the entire Song Dynasty that can be called "disasters" by Wei Yixiao, a subordinate of Yang Zhao.

Even just relying on Yang Zhao's reputation, it is enough to intimidate ordinary Martial Saints.

Because the entire Song Dynasty knew that not long ago, Yang Zhao led an army of 20,000 to attack the Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou and killed three Martial Saints and dozens of celestial beings.

This level of mighty power.

Yang Zhao couldn't imagine that there was anyone in the Song Dynasty who would dare to cause trouble for his subordinates.

What's more, in the three days after Yang Zhao entered Jiangnan, Yang Zhao did not receive any requests for help from any of his close friends or subordinates through the jade sound transmission talisman.

However, since Wei Yixiao was able to dig out the news from the disaster, it must not be too serious.

A stream of pure yang purple energy was injected into Wei Yixiao's body.

Almost in an instant, Wei Yixiao, who was originally extremely miserable, recovered quickly, the hidden injuries in his body were repaired, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

Wait until Wei Yixiao recovers a little.

Yang Zhao just opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, Bat King, if there is anything, sort it out first, the sky will not fall."

After hearing Yang Zhao's words, Wei Yixiao seemed to be soothed by an inexplicable force and calmed down immediately.

But even so, Wei Yixiao was still a little anxious, and said: "Master, after your trip to the Northern Border, Qingzhou, and Lianghuai, Beiliang's plan to seize the dragon vein luck of the Song Dynasty was largely destroyed. Xu Xiao was furious and assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and has already stationed them in the Northern Border."

"Li Yishan, the Northern Liang shady talent, who was the mastermind behind the plan to seize the dragon veins of the Song Dynasty, has been attacked by humanity and is dying. Not long ago, he left behind thirteen poisonous schemes, instigating the unification of multiple forces, which led to a full-scale outbreak inside and outside the Song Dynasty."

"Three days ago, the wives of the leaders escorted Wang Qingniao, Yuan Meng, Lu Chengyan, Hong Xixiang and others to Jiangnan. Yesterday, when they reached the Yangtze River, they were ambushed by various forces..."

Wei Yixiao spoke very quickly, but his words were clear and logical.

In a short while, Yang Zhao had sorted out everything that had happened in the past three days.

It turned out that after Yang Zhao passed through the northern border, Qingzhou, and Lianghuai, Zhang Fuyao of Shangyin Academy rebelled, the Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou was wiped out, and Zhu Xi of Lianghuai converted to Taoism and left.

All of this has already aroused Beiliang's ideas and reactions.

The people of Beiliang are not fools either.

The first stop of the Prince of Beiliang on his journey south to the Song Dynasty was the Shangyin Academy in the northern border, where he was immediately met with a complete setback.

The second stop was the Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou. Before we even got there, we heard rumors that the entire Confucius family had been exterminated.

After these two setbacks.

The Prince of Beiliang was decisive. He immediately stopped his trip to the Song Dynasty and returned directly to Beiliang. It happened that the first military advisor of Beiliang, the talented Li Yishan, was attacked by the backlash and would not live long.

Therefore, the Beiliang side immediately gave up the plan to seize the dragon vein and fortune of the Song Dynasty.

And under the thirteen plans left by Li Yishan, he formed an alliance with various forces including the Mongols, Liao, Jin, Deng Tai'a, Longshu Monk, Wang Zhonglou and others, and started a full-scale humanitarian battle for the dragon ahead of time.

However, the instigation and alliance between these various forces also takes time.

Therefore, in the early stage, the news did not leak out.

Until two days ago, Huang Rong, Yan Fei, Wang Yuyan, Wu Xingyun, Fang Baihua, Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Lin Chaoying, Xiao Longnu and others in Bian Jing escorted the Northern Liang captives to Jiangnan to find Yang Zhao. When they reached the Yangtze River, a series of actions by Northern Liang began to erupt in full swing.

First, Beiliang and Beimang under the Mongols reached a ceasefire, and the armies of the Mongols, Liao, Jin and other countries approached the border.

Then hundreds of thousands of troops from Northern Liang marched directly to the border, but were stopped by the army led by Cao Wei who had been prepared in advance.

However, because of this, the generals, imperial guards, and even masters from all sides in the imperial court quickly went to the northern border of the Song Dynasty to prepare for defense and start a war.

At this time, no one expected it.

After the war on the northern border of the Song Dynasty attracted most of the attention of the Song Dynasty.

On the Yangtze River in the heart of the Song Dynasty, a group of Beiliang masters, led by Xu Zhihu who joined the Jiangnan Lu family, and a large number of Liangchan Temples, Wudang Sect, and even many Western Chu survivors, suddenly broke out, ready to take advantage of the situation to rescue the Beiliang captives, and even capture Huang Rong, Yan Fei and others in order to threaten Yang Zhao.

Huang Rong, Yan Fei and others are quite powerful.

However, Beiliang, Liangchan Temple, Wudang Sect, and the survivors of Western Chu came well prepared and had many experts.

So Huang Rong, Yan Fei and others were all trapped on the Yangtze River.

Fortunately, Yang Zhao had equipped Huang Rong, Yan Fei and other women with some trump cards long time ago, making it impossible for Xu Zhihu and others to succeed.

It was not until the two sides had fought for two full days that Huang Rong and others found an opportunity to break through the formation a little, allowing Wei Yixiao, who was the best in light skills, to escape and come to Jiangnan to report the news.

It has to be said that Li Yishan's plan was indeed sharp. It was able to settle the conflicts among many forces and jointly threaten the Song Dynasty. It found the best opportunity for Beiliang to find an excellent first-hand initiative in the gradually losing situation, catching the entire Song Dynasty off guard.

Moreover, Beiliang has quite a few tentacles within the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Under the various suppressions and purges of the Song Dynasty court and the threat of Yang Zhaolian's massacre of the Three Saints, the Northern Liang Princess Xu Zhihu was able to gather many good fighters in the Song Dynasty to besiege Huang Rong and others.

After listening to Wei Yixiao's words and understanding the entire situation.

Yang Zhao, on the other hand, did not show any sign of being anxious. He tapped his fingers lightly, his thoughts racing in his mind. Faintly among the various arrangements of Beiliang, he sensed a very obscure trace of internal disasters.

As for Huang Rong and others, Yang Zhao was not worried.

With the large number of trump cards and back-up plans that Yang Zhao prepared for Huang Rong and the others, unless there is a top-level Martial Saint like Deng Tai'a, Long Shuseng, and Wang Zhonglou taking action, ordinary Martial Saints may not be able to control Huang Rong and the others within ten days or half a month.

What's more, among Huang Rong's women, there are Yao Yue and Lian Xing, two true disciples of Yihua Palace.

If masters of the level of Deng Tai'a, Longshu Monk, and Wang Zhonglou appeared, they would definitely provoke that crazy woman Xichi.

Deng Tai'a, Nagarjuna, Wang Zhonglou and others are very strong, but they may not be able to surpass Xichi.

This is also the reason why Yang Zhao is not worried about the safety of Huang Rong, Yan Fei and other women.

On the contrary, the hidden dangers hidden in this series of sudden events made Yang Zhao a little uneasy, but there were very few clues to the hidden dangers, and Yang Zhao didn't know where the hidden dangers were.

Chapter 280 Who is the internal trouble of the Song Dynasty?

If we really compare the war potential, Beiliang and the Song Dynasty are not at the same level at all.

Beiliang is located to the north of Hedong Road of the Song Dynasty, between Western Xia and Liao, and connected to the Northern Mang Dynasty under the Mongols in the north. It can contain the northwest, deter the Liao, and resist the Mongols. It is a war zone in the north of the Song Dynasty.

As early as two hundred years ago, Zhao Kuangyin had fought no less than dozens of wars with northern ethnic minorities on that land.

Unfortunately, there were too many foreign tribes around that land, and even if Zhao Kuangyin could conquer it, he would not be able to defend it.

Even after a long time, it will drag down the national strength of the Song Dynasty and consume all of it on that land.

So for a long time, that land became a buffer zone between the Song Dynasty and many ethnic minorities in the north, and it was also an ownerless land.

It was not until decades ago that the fierce general Xu Xiao suddenly emerged and made countless contributions in battles across the country.

With the support and instructions of the former emperor of the Song Dynasty, Xu Xiao occupied that piece of land.

Xu Xiao was indeed a good fighter. Later, Beiliang gradually became hostile to the Song Dynasty. After more than ten years of fighting, Xu Xiao finally took root in Beiliang and settled down.

It was a great feat for Xu Xiao to survive relying on that small piece of land.

If it weren't for the fact that the newly-appointed Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty was incompetent after the death of the previous emperor, and had not had the support of the treacherous eunuch Cai Jing, Xu Xiao of Beiliang would not have been able to maintain his hundreds of thousands of troops, and might even have been destroyed long ago.

If Zhao Ji had continued to control the Song Dynasty court, Beiliang would have had a chance to lie dormant.

But when Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong suddenly appeared and swept through the Song Dynasty court in a very short time, even driving Emperor Zhao Ji to the Gen Palace, Beiliang's advantage began to weaken.

It won’t take too long for Zhao Shirong to come to power, and in just a few years, the Song Dynasty will be able to return to its former glory.

By then, Beiliang would become a punching bag caught in the cracks, and would no longer have any chance of retaliating against the Song Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Beiliang couldn't wait to take action and began to frequently attack the Song Dynasty after Zhao Shirong took charge of the court.

This is Beiliang’s last chance.

While the Song Dynasty has not yet been fully rejuvenated, Beiliang will inevitably launch a full-scale war with the Song Dynasty.

In fact, this has long been the common understanding of Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong, Fan Zhongyan, Cao Wei and others, so the Song Dynasty court's defense against Northern Liang has never weakened in the slightest.

The prince of Beiliang planned to go south to annex the dragon vein and destiny of the Song Dynasty.

Yang Zhao and the others saw through the situation but did not expose it, and accepted the attack silently, just wanting to delay the situation as much as possible to allow the Song Dynasty to recover a little more vitality.

Logically speaking, even if the Prince of Beiliang suffered a defeat in the northern border, he should not have discovered the clues so early.

After all, the Shangyin Academy had also received instructions from Yang Zhao that they would use the excuse of Nangong Pushe's capture to dispel the other party's doubts as much as possible when the Prince of Beiliang hit a wall.

As for the battle of Kong Mansion in Qingzhou, the excuse Yang Zhao used was that Kong Pingzhong was guilty of treason and betrayal of his country and clan by defecting to the Mongols, and did not involve Beiliang.

Deng Tai'a from Jiangnan, monk Longshu from Xiangfan, Wang Chonglou from Jingchu and others.

Yang Zhao had never thought of eradicating it at this stage. He was just preparing to develop the national temple and the underworld in the three places.

In addition, Yang Zhao rode a golden eagle all the way to conceal his whereabouts.

Without alerting the enemy, it would be enough to keep the Prince of Beiliang in the territory of Song Dynasty for at least a year. He could even be provoked by some martial artists to buy the court two to three years of development time. I think it should not be a problem.

The Prince of Beiliang just felt that traveling in the northern border was not going well, so he decisively returned to Beiliang.

Someone inside the Song Dynasty or the imperial court must have leaked the delaying plan made by Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others to Beiliang.

Moreover, the person who knew about this plan definitely had a high status in the court.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

If this hidden danger within the Song Dynasty is not eliminated, it will certainly have a huge impact on the future war between the Song Dynasty and Northern Liang.

It may even become the most painful blow to the Song Dynasty at some critical moment in the future.

Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Han Qi, Xiao Qinyan, Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze, Zheng En, Gao Huaide, Yang Ye, Hu Yanzan, etc., none of these people seemed to have any possibility of betrayal.

As for those with lower reputation in the court, they didn't even know the content of the delay plan.

After much thought, Yang Zhao still couldn't find any clues about the internal calamity of the Song Dynasty.

And just when Yang Zhao was deep in thought.

Wei Yixiao, who was waiting on the side, became more and more anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks as if he had grown hair on his body.

Soon, Yang Zhao noticed Wei Yixiao's abnormality and said, "Don't worry, Bat King. Rong'er, Yan Fei and the others all have my trump cards. They are also being watched over by the current Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Xi Chi. Xu Zhihu and his ilk are just like me. Nothing will happen to them."

Wei Yixiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yang Zhao's explanation.

Seeing this, Yang Zhao couldn't help but say, "Alright, I know that Bat King is loyal, but we can't be in a hurry to rescue Rong'er, Yan Fei and others. Beiliang Xu Xiao has fully erupted, and it is impossible to be completely safe. If you are the only one who escapes to report the news, the other party must have a backup plan waiting for me to show up."

Wei Yixiao was shocked and asked, "Master, are you saying that the other party deliberately released me to lure you out?"

Yang Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. It could also be a feint to the east to attack the west. After luring me from Gusu to the Yangtze River, they will take the opportunity to attack Jiangnan and other places."

Wei Yixiao swallowed his saliva and said, "This group of people are actually going to rebel in Jiangnan?"

"I don't know what the people of Beiliang are thinking. Jiangnan is our home base. Let alone Elder Xin's ability, just General Fang and General Wang are suppressing them. Which family in Jiangnan can make a splash?"

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "So I can't wait to take action and see who is behind this."

Just when Yang Zhao made up his mind to stay in Gusu.

At this time, in the depths of Lake Tai, among the 200,000 troops left behind by Tong Guan in the past, there also arrived a group of mysterious people in black robes.

Holding gold medals, this group of people quickly walked all the way to the depths of the military town of Yanziwu.

At the same time, Feng Mei and Bi Sheng, the two leaders of Yanziwu's 200,000-strong army, after receiving reports from their personal guards, played with the gold plate with the word "Ji" written on it, and soon met with the mysterious group of people.

In a luxurious and secluded hall.
