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

I have to say that Shi Zhixuan's methods are extremely effective.

Be it the Demon Sect or the Six Bat Hall, neither is a force that Shi Zhixuan is familiar with now. However, he was able to train a large number of people in a short period of time and weave them into an impressive intelligence force.

Yang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's fine. Have you found the talents I asked you to look for?"

Shi Zhixuan was slightly stunned, then he said, "Your Highness has a good eye. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, etc. are all outstanding people, but most of them are related to aristocratic families. Only Wei Zheng, after receiving Your Highness's intention to recruit him, has come to Daxing City."

"The rest, including Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Liu Hongji, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Xiong Kuohai, Shan Xiongxin, Shang Shitu, Xin Wenli, etc., are now either court officials or commoners. Only Xiong Kuohai, Cheng Yaojin, and Youda are heading to Guanzhong."

As early as when Shi Zhixuan first established the intelligence network.

Yang Zhao had already given Shi Zhixuan a list of names based on his own memory, all of whom had left a name for themselves during the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Although the list had been given out, Yang Zhao had no confidence on how many people could be included at this time.

Anyway, just take three shots and if you catch a big fish you'll make a profit.

But the result surprised Yang Zhao.

Wei Zheng, Xiong Kuohai, Cheng Yaojin and Youda, two top-notch civil and military talents, one legendary lucky general, and one second-rate military talent.

This achievement is enough.

As for the other talents, as long as their positions are determined, he can wait for his own masters to arrive and capture them one by one.

Anyway, most of these people were Li Shimin's founding team.

Yang Zhaoxin was a bit evil. Even if she wanted to kill all these people, she would never leave them to Li Shimin.

During the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang dynasties, although people like Yang Xuangan, Yu Wenzhi, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others were all heroes of the time, their real enemy was still Li Shimin.

Even Li Yuan, even though he had the support of aristocratic families, still had more than half of the empire conquered by Li Shimin.

There was a pause.

Yang Zhao said, "It's ok to do this for now. Remember to have people keep an eye on the whereabouts and information of the others. When the time is right, we can recruit them all."

As Yang Zhao's voice fell.

Shi Zhixuan hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I am afraid I cannot pay too much attention to this matter. In the past few days, I feel that my spirit has been healing faster. When my spirit is completely healed, it will be the time to enter the realm of Martial Saint. Therefore, I need to retreat for a period of time."

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Evil King, what you did is really unkind. We have just started our business, and you want to put down the stall and go into seclusion. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Breaking through the realm of Martial Saint is not an ordinary thing.

Not everyone is like Yang Zhao, who can easily enter the realm of Martial Saint.

Ordinary people, no matter how talented they are, will be stopped by the threshold of Martial Saint. Even Ling Donglai, Wang Xianzhi and others in the past had to spend a lot of effort to achieve this.

In other words, Shi Zhixuan's retreat lasted at least a year.

Shi Zhixuan also felt guilty, his expression was tangled for a while, and he tried to say: "Your Highness, when I enter the realm of Martial Saint, I will be able to do more for Your Highness."

Yang Zhao smiled without saying anything, just looked at Shi Zhixuan quietly.

Shi Zhixuan's face was also embarrassed, knowing that his words would definitely not fool Yang Zhao.

A powerful martial saint can have a great impact.

Very big, or it can be said that the effect is average.

In today's Sui Dynasty, the power of various aristocratic families is much stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. Almost every household has one or two martial saints in charge.

Although most of these martial saints achieved their success by taking shortcuts, it was enough.

Whether there is one more or one less Martial Saint under Yang Zhao's command, it has no impact on the overall situation. If it is just a small matter, what the Martial Saint Shi Zhixuan can do, the current Shi Zhixuan can also solve.

Shi Zhixuan is just itching to do something.

Looking at Yang Zhao's expression.

Shi Zhixuan's expression changed for a long time before he said, "Well, since Your Highness needs me, I will wait a few years before making a breakthrough. Originally, I wanted to hand over my daughter Qingxuan to Your Highness to take care of her."

"Cough cough."

Yang Zhao's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "Evil King, that's not right. I am not an unkind person. The opportunity to become a Martial Saint is hard to come by, and I don't want to ruin the Evil King's future."

"How about this, King Xie, find a time as soon as possible to hand over the intelligence network in your hands to a suitable person, and then go into seclusion, how about that?"

"As for taking care of the Evil King's daughter, it is my responsibility. The Evil King does not need to worry."

Shi Zhixuan: "..."

I don't believe you at all.

If it weren't for the one hundred thousand troops under your command, I would also have the potential to become a true dragon, humph.

Yang Zhao and Shi Zhixuan were greeting each other with fake smiles, a little fox and an old fox, their expressions of deep affection and loyalty, their acting was just like the real thing.

But no one noticed that Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up after hearing the news.

"Your Highness!"

Changsun Wuji quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Since Senior Xie Wang is going to retreat to break through to the Martial Saint level, intelligence matters can only be obtained by a trusted person, so Wuji will recommend himself."

Yang Zhao frowned slightly and said, "This..."

Changsun Wuji felt that he had grasped Yang Zhao's thoughts and said, "Your Highness, my sister is now..."

Yang Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Brother Wuji, no, brother-in-law, this matter is settled. I don't trust you. Who else can I trust in this Great Sui Dynasty?"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Chapter 380 Love with Changsun Wugou

After Shi Zhixuan resolved his inner demons, his insights and progress in cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

A love tragedy, a mental breakdown, and twenty years of fighting against inner demons.

All of this brought painful memories to Shi Zhixuan, but also tempered his mind and will, making it easier for Shi Zhixuan to break into the Martial Saint realm than ordinary people.

After Shi Zhixuan handed over the intelligence network to Changsun Wuji, he soon went into seclusion.

This retreat might last one or two years, or at most three to five years. Shi Zhixuan is 90% sure that he can break into the realm of Martial Saint.

Moreover, before going into seclusion, Shi Zhixuan gave his daughter a lot of instructions, asking her to be on guard against Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao sneered at this.

If Yang Zhao's life essence level was not too high now, when Shi Zhixuan came out of seclusion, maybe he could let Shi Qingxuan carry the two big fat boys to greet Shi Zhixuan.

In Daxing City, Changsun Wuji was extremely busy.

On the one hand, Changsun Wuji had to deal with the various aristocratic families in Daxing City, and on behalf of Yang Zhao, he had to win over and negotiate with the aristocratic families in Guanzhong.

On the other hand, the intelligence network that had just been established was also full of miscellaneous matters.

Changsun Wuji was very busy, but he was in high spirits and much happier than ever before.

Daxing City, Wenxuan Tower.

Yang Zhao and Changsun Wugou, a man and a woman, seemed like a perfect match made in heaven. They stood on the top floor, looking at Changsun Wuji who was running around and greeting people warmly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Quite abruptly, Changsun Wugou turned around and thanked Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why did Wuqiu thank you so suddenly?"

Changsun Wugou's face flashed with memories, and he said, "Because Wugou wanted to thank His Highness for giving my brother a chance to display his talents and to delegate more power to him."

"Since my father passed away suddenly three years ago, my brother and I have been living very unhappy in Daxing City because of the Zhao Deyan incident. Everyone has distanced themselves from us, and our family has declined."

"Even my uncle, my brother and I know very well that my uncle doesn't treat my brother and me wholeheartedly. He probably just treats my brother and me as tools to get close to him and invest in him because Wuque looks pretty good."

"It's actually very uncomfortable to live under someone else's roof..."

Changsun Wugou spoke very calmly, but inside there was a hint of sadness and weakness that made people feel extremely pity, but it was just covered up by her tough appearance.

For no apparent reason, Yang Zhao's big hand grasped Changsun Wugou's small hand.

Changsun Wugou's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she glanced at Yang Zhao secretly with a rippled look in her eyes. She struggled slightly but failed to break free, and her face became even redder with shame.

At this moment, Yang Zhao did not have too many thoughts of possession, but was full of tenderness.

Holding Changsun Wugou’s little hand.

Yang Zhao said seriously: "Wu Gou, you know that my trust in Brother Wu Ji is not so pure. It is because a woman quietly walked into my heart."

Seize the opportunity and say sweet words.

Yang Zhao is now an old driver, bah, he has had many experiences in picking up girls.

As for Changsun Wugou, after a period of matchmaking and various chance encounters by Changsun Wuji, the two had become quite familiar with each other.

Yang Zhao could feel that Changsun Wugou had a faint affection for him.

And now is the best time to turn this bit of affection into love.

The atmosphere has been pushed to this point.

If we fail to grasp it, wouldn't it be a waste of the kindness of my brother-in-law Changsun Wuji?

No problem.

This literary gathering of the legitimate sons and daughters of the aristocratic families of Daxing City at Wenxuan Tower was initiated by Changsun Wuji, under the pretext of deepening exchanges with the children of the aristocratic families of Daxing City. Even the Queen of Yin, Zhu Yuyan, was unable to organize Changsun Wuji to bring Changsun Wugou out.

Zhu Yuyan is also a naughty one.

As early as when she went to Gao Shilian's mansion, Zhu Yuyan met Changsun Wugou and already knew some of Yang Zhao's little thoughts, so she deliberately accepted Changsun Wugou as her apprentice.

On the one hand, Zhu Yuyan was very jealous and deliberately wanted to make things more difficult for Yang Zhao.

On the other hand, Zhu Yuyan actually knew that her identity prevented her from becoming Yang Zhao's principal wife. She accepted Changsun Wugou and even controlled Wanwan just to deepen her position in Yang Zhao's heart.

Yang Zhao could see through these women's affairs at a glance, but he never paid any attention to them.

The relationship between master and apprentice is actually quite exciting.

It's noisy downstairs and quiet upstairs.

The upstairs and downstairs are only two meters apart, but it seems like two different worlds.

Yang Zhao held Zhangsun Wugou's little hand and did not speak for a long time. The two of them just quietly enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful moment.

That kind of big hand holding small hand, the love is unclear, but the feeling is endless.

It’s just like the sweet and sour feeling of first love.

In a sense, Yang Zhao is indeed very amorous and has many confidantes such as Daiqisi, Zhao Shirong, Huang Rong, Jingwei, and Yanfei.

But among the many beauties, only the current Changsun Wugou can have a sense of compatibility with Yang Zhao that is almost like that of soul mates.

There was no other reason, it was the tenacity, tranquility and gentleness of Changsun Wugou, who was as kind as water, and seemed to be able to tolerate everything about Yang Zhao.

The other person was obviously a bright-eyed girl, but she had an almost loving, maternal glow.

This gentle love filled the loneliness and alienation hidden deep in Yang Zhao's heart, which no one knew about, throughout his two lifetimes.

Similarly, Yang Zhao's love, consideration, and strength also made up for the uneasy feeling in Changsun Wugou's heart caused by living under someone else's roof for a long time.

Right time, right person.

Yang Zhao and Zhangsun Wugou looked at each other, as if they had telepathic connection and could see everything in each other's mind.

“Innocent…”

"Da Lang, my brother used to call me Guanyin's maid."

"Guanyin maid."

"kindness!"

A young boy and girl, as if they were in love for the first time, were cuddling each other infatuatedly, shyly, with a sweet and sour feeling, and they hugged each other silently.

And just when Yang Zhao and Zhangsun Wugou were enjoying this unspeakable and endless love.

Accompanied by the sound of walking on the stairs.

A group of beautiful women, all wearing gorgeous Han-style dresses, came to the top floor, led by a tall and beautiful woman.

"Wow, Sister Yin's guess was right. His Highness and Sister Changsun are indeed here."

"What a touching love, I'm so envious."

"Stop talking, everyone, just watch quietly, His Highness is so handsome, I'm so greedy."
