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

However, Yang Zhao gained a lot from this period of retreat, and he also found a perfect way to deal with the influence of the way of heaven.

Just when various forces of the Sui Dynasty were approaching Chang'an.

Yang Zhao also came out quickly and returned to Daxing Palace.

However, to Yang Zhao's surprise, at this time in the Daxing Palace, his own harem, which should have been full of beautiful girls, was empty. Only Zhangsun Wugou and Daiqisi were left in the Internal Affairs Chamber of the Wenhua Palace, dealing with some idle memorials in a haphazard manner.

What about your huge harem?

Could it be that I have been in seclusion for too long, and Xiao Rong'er and the others couldn't stand it anymore and went out to play?

Yang Zhao was confused, and his figure flashed and soon appeared in the Internal Affairs Room of Wenhua Palace. As soon as he appeared, he embraced Changsun Wugou and Daiqisi in his arms.

"Madams, why are you so distressed?"

"Ah! I'm so scared. You bad guy, why did you come here to scare me?"

"My dear husband, you are finally out of confinement. That's great."

Daiqisi and Zhangsun Wugou have very different personalities. Both of them are sensible and virtuous wives, but Daiqisi is more charming and introverted, while Zhangsun Wugou is dignified and quite well-behaved.

A little farewell is better than a wedding.

When the three of them met, they played and joked for a while and were full of tenderness.

Just when Yang Zhao couldn't bear it any longer and was about to carry the two back to the harem, Changsun Wugou grabbed Yang Zhao, blushing, and said, "My husband, there is no rush for family matters. Let's first solve the trouble caused by Rong'er and the others, right?"

"trouble?"

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "What kind of trouble have Rong'er and the others caused that even my Guanyin and Sisi can't solve it?"

Dai Qisi rolled her eyes at Yang Zhao coquettishly and said, "Don't think you can get away with it by saying nice things. Those lovers of yours are all very powerful. The envoys of Yang Guang's subordinates, the Li family, the Guandong family, the Youzhou King of Yan, etc., have all been severely harmed by your lovers."

Hearing Daiqisi's words, Yang Zhao's expression gradually became serious.

At the same time, as Daiqisi and Zhangsun Wugou nestled in Yang Zhao's arms and talked to each other, Yang Zhao quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

For a moment, Yang Zhao felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chapter 589: The Heroes Outside the Great Wall Blocked by the Women in Yang Zhao's Harem

But it was more than ten days before Yang Zhao came out of seclusion.

With the arrival of many powerful forces such as Yang Guang's army, Li's army, Guandong's army, Prince of Yan's army, and Wagang's army, Chang'an was very lively for a while.

These people from many forces were very surprised when they entered Chang'an.

Even people as cunning as Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin did not take action at the first moment. Instead, they found their own secret agents left in Chang'an, Guanzhong and other places, and began to learn as much detailed information as possible about Guanzhong.

It was very different from what Li Shimin and others learned in Luoyang City.

In the past six months, ever since the aristocratic families in Guanlong were massacred, Yang Zhao had gone into seclusion, many of the most powerful demon sects had disappeared, and rebellions had continued in various places.

Therefore, after more than half a year of negotiations and exchanges, various forces outside Guanlong formed a short-term alliance, preparing to test whether Guanlong was really weak.

If the situation is true, these powerful forces will unite without hesitation, first eliminate the threat of Yang Zhao, and divide up the Guanlong area.

Unfortunately, after learning the true situation in Guanlong area.

Li Shimin and others discovered that although there were frequent rebellions in Guanlong during the past six months, they were all caused by local gentry and wealthy families who resisted the Guanlong policy.

The biggest threat was when the Western Turks moved southwards and tried to attack the Western Silk Road and plunder.

Unfortunately, the ones guarding Longxi were Xue Ju and his son, who had gradually grown up under the command of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

This pair of rebellious princes were originally known in history as the Overlords of Western Chu.

As early as when Yang Zhao returned to the Sui Dynasty, he was beaten badly by Chen Zhibao, who had secretly sneaked into Longxi and led the Snow Dragon Cavalry. Later, as Yang Zhao ascended to power, the father and son were severely beaten several times and had already become obedient.

Faced with Yang Zhao, Xue Ju and his son surrendered obediently.

But when facing the enemy, Xue Ju, once known as the King of Western Chu, was still very fierce and powerful.

The 50,000-strong Western Turkic army swept across the Silk Road, but because the Guanlong region was a solid block and received the news early, not only did they fail to loot a penny, but they were killed in large numbers by Xue Ju and his sons. Almost all of the 50,000-strong army was destroyed in the Western Regions.

If Chen Zhibao had not taken action to suppress the howling Xue Ju and his son.

It is not unknown that Xue Ju and his son had already led the Snow Dragon Cavalry and charged directly into the grassland and into the territory of the Western Turks, stirring up trouble.

In other words.

Li Shimin and others understood that since Yang Zhao went into seclusion, the sporadic rebellions in Guanlong area had not weakened Yang Zhao's power in the slightest.

On the contrary, after eliminating these overlooked hidden dangers, the entire Guanlong area became a solid rock without any loopholes.

This discouraged Li Shimin and others who were determined to overthrow Yang Zhao's power.

However, soon, under the instigation of Liu Wenjing, the representatives of these powerful forces quickly used their own secret agents left in Guanlong to spread rumors slandering Yang Zhao.

For example, the former deposed Crown Prince Yang Yong extremely disliked Yuanshi and Yang Zhao, mother and son, because Yang Zhao was not of the Yang family's bloodline.

For example, Yang Zhao was greedy and immoral. He sent Yang Xuangan's troops to besiege Luoyang and abducted his aunt Empress Xiao.

For example, Yang Zhao was violent and ungrateful, he used the people from the Demon Sect as his minions, and harmed the people from the Guanlong family, etc.

In the big cities, the people were enlightened, and there were officials from the imperial court who could quickly suppress rumors.

However, many rumors unfavorable to Yang Zhao quickly spread among the countryside in Guanzhong. If the living standards of the people in Guanlong were not much better than before, these rumors would have caused great trouble.

The Guanlong court acted quickly, mobilizing the military and quickly putting an end to the rumors.

But when Yang Zhao was not around, generals like Chen Zhibao, Xin Wenli and Li Jing, although extremely unhappy with the heroes outside the Great Wall, did not dare to take direct action against these individuals for no reason, for fear that if they acted improperly, the heroes outside the Great Wall would join forces to attack Guanlong.

The people in the court of Guanlong could do nothing about these representatives of heroes outside the Great Wall.

But Yang Zhao's group of women in Daxing Palace are not vegetarians either.

Especially among this group of women, there are people like Huang Rong and Wanwan who love to stir up trouble.

Under the instigation of Huang Rong and Wanwan, before the representatives of the heroes outside the Great Wall could enter the Daxing Palace to meet Empress Xiao, women such as Yan Fei, Wu Xingyun, Yao Yue, Lin Chaoying, Zhu Yuyan, Jing Wei and others had already taken the initiative. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, they beat Liu Wenjing, Li Shimin, Cui Yan, Zheng Jibo and others so badly that they could not get off the bed for three days.

Even the women with lower cultivation levels, such as Wang Yuyan, Lianxing, Yin Susu, Yin Xiaoniang, Shi Feixuan, and Song Yuhua, joined together to block the people from Wagangzhai, the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and others directly in the mansion, leaving them unable to enter or leave.

And with the various actions of the women in Yang Zhao's harem, they finally annoyed the hidden strong men hidden in the team of heroes.

Beings such as Yuan Tiangang, Chaoyang Tianshi, Wang Meng, Xueyue Sword Immortal and others appeared one after another.

After the appearance of these strong men who were at least at the peak of Martial Saint or even at the ceiling level of Martial Saint, the strongest men from the Demon Sect who were guarding the women also quickly appeared and confronted them.

Just ten days.

Under the stirring up of Huang Rong, Wanwan and others, the whole Chang'an city was in chaos, and it seemed that a shocking battle at the level of top martial saints could break out at any time.

In fact, if Yang Zhao had not just come out of seclusion.

Changsun Wugou and Daiqisi, who were in charge of the situation in the Daxing Palace, planned to go directly to find Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, and with the help of the Luoshu River Map, they activated the Guanzhong Four Barriers and Eight Waters Formation and forcibly suppressed the stalemate in Chang'an.

Daxing Palace, Wenhua Hall, and Neizheng Pavilion.

Listening to the soft and sweet narrations of Zhangsun Wugou and Daiqisi, Yang Zhao's expression gradually became strange.

For the women in his harem.

Yang Zhao has never been stingy with various skills and resources. Not to mention people like Yan Fei, Wu Xingyun, Yao Yue, Lin Chaoying, Zhu Yuyan, Jing Wei who are fond of martial arts, have already stepped into the ranks of martial saints.

Even Huang Rong and Wanwan, who are the most mischievous on weekdays, are absolutely invincible under the Martial Saint.

Those heroes outside the Great Wall are really miserable.

If he ran into the hands of Huang Rong, Wan Wan and other women, he would have been secretly protected by Yuan Tiangang, Chaoyang Tianshi, Wang Meng and others. Otherwise, if he had caused trouble in Chang'an, he would have died without knowing how he died.

Chapter 590 Comparison of Top Combat Power

After learning about the farce in Chang'an City, Yang Zhao did not intervene directly at the first time.

But after Zhangsun Wugou and Daiqisi returned to the harem, Yang Zhao waved his hand gently, and a figure walked out of the twisted void quickly appeared in the room.

The person who came was none other than the Ghost Shadow Ancestor, the most powerful being in the entire Guanlong area.

Seeing the appearance of Ghost Ancestor, Yang Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Ah Ghost, your cultivation has advanced a step further. You can twist the void and merge into the void. I'm afraid you will soon step into the ninth step of the Martial Saint ceiling, right?"

The Ghost Shadow Patriarch bowed humbly and said, "It is all thanks to your Highness that I am where I am today."

The Ghost Shadow Patriarch's words were indeed sincere.

Not to mention that in the Lupeng Palace, Yang Zhao helped the Ghost Shadow Ancestor break free from the shackles and turn himself into the gates of hell. Just after Yang Zhao blessed him with the national fortune, his cultivation speed was as fast as lightning. It was like cheating. The Ghost Shadow Ancestor felt that the practice of martial arts seemed to have never been so smooth.

Yang Zhao had no doubt about the loyalty of the Ghost Shadow Ancestor.

On that day in Lupeng Palace, the Ghost Shadow Ancestor's body turned into the gate of hell, and his entire body turned into an existence similar to the god inside the artifact.

This kind of being, once worshiping the Lord, is unprecedentedly loyal.

Not to mention, the true spirit of the Ghost Shadow Ancestor is also in Yang Zhao’s Huangji Zhenshi Bell.

After exchanging a few words with Ghost Shadow Patriarch, Yang Zhao quickly looked outside the palace and said, "Ah Ghost, how many powerful people and hidden cards are there among the people coming from outside the pass this time?"

"If we use the power of Guanlong and all our resources, can we keep all these people outside the pass?"

More than ten miles away.

Even though Yang Zhao was standing in the Wenhua Hall of the Daxing Palace, he could, with the help of Yunchao's power, clearly see the large group of people who were in a stalemate on Zhuque Street in Chang'an.

Yang Zhao could even see that Huang Rong and Wanwan were being eccentric and weird, and they made Li Shimin and the others look ashen, as if their faces were covered with mud.

But it's a pity.

The power of Yang Zhao's luck at this moment only occupies one tenth of the total luck of Guanlong heaven and earth. If he uses it with all his strength, he may be able to defeat an existence like the Ghost Shadow Ancestor.

However, it is still extremely difficult to kill or suppress a strong man at the ceiling level of Martial Saint.

Defeating, killing and suppressing are completely different levels of difficulty.

Especially after reaching the ceiling of Martial Saint, almost everyone has found their own alternative path to enlightenment. Even if the void is blocked with artifacts like the Luoshu and Hetu, it is impossible to save the lives of such strong people.

Therefore, if those top strong men deliberately hide themselves.

Even if Yang Zhao used the power of Yunchao, it was difficult for him to see the other party's existence.

On the contrary, the Ghost Shadow Ancestor's method of driving thousands of ghosts, walking in the void, and escaping into the shadows can more clearly detect the strengths and weaknesses of those top powerhouses.

Hearing Yang Zhao's question.

The Ghost Shadow Patriarch did not dare to neglect it. After a brief thought, he spoke directly: "Your Highness, there are a total of six Martial Saint Ceiling experts who entered Chang'an with the group of heroes from outside the Great Wall."

"As for the Li clan, I don't know what kind of resources Yuan Tiangang used to enter the ranks of martial saints. Although his combat power is not enough, his actions are strange and he has many secret techniques. It is very difficult to keep him. In addition, there seems to be a green lotus in the void above the Li clan all the time. I think he is the Green Lotus Sword Immortal mentioned by Xiang Yutian."

“The Guandong noble families paid an unknown price to invite the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi. This person carries the Divine Sword, Iron Horse, and Ice River, and has the Sky-reaching Sword Intention. Although his own cultivation is only at the peak level of the Martial Saint, his actual combat power is probably enough to rival Yuan Tiangang and his ilk. What’s more, the Snow Moon City is really not easy to mess with.”

"On the side of King Yan of Youzhou, Jiang Song himself is an unrivaled genius with strong cultivation. Compared with the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi, he only lacks a divine weapon. Behind him is Immortal Zi Yang. It is rumored that this person is a Taoist immortal who may have a close connection with the immortal world. His strength is not weak, comparable to Xiang Yutian."

"On Xiahou Dou Jiande's side, Liu Heida is a rare military genius. Behind him is Wang Meng, who should be the prime minister of the Former Qin Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Although his cultivation level is only the second step of the Martial Saint ceiling, his actual combat power is probably not weaker than mine, and can be compared with the Green Lotus Sword Immortal."

"There is also a mysterious strong man on the Wagang Village side. He is very good at illusion and entering dreams. His whereabouts are elusive and even I, the old slave, cannot lock onto him."

As the Ghost Shadow Ancestor spoke, Yang Zhao's brows furrowed slightly.

It has to be said that the aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty outside Guanlong and many of the princes all have people backing them.

These are only the people who entered Chang'an with the team. There must be other cards outside Chang'an.

After all, his power is still a little short of conquering the world.

Just when Yang Zhao was thinking about it.

The Ghost Shadow Patriarch's expression slightly changed, and he said, "Your Highness, in addition to these rather hostile people, there are also people from the Xiao Clan in the south in Chang'an. Among them, there are also two extremely powerful people, one is comparable to Mu Qingliu, and the other can fight against this old slave. However, this team has not united with the heroes, and seems to have good intentions towards our Guanlong court."

Yang Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood.

After that, Yang Zhao thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Well, although we cannot keep these people in Guanzhong, we cannot let them underestimate our power in Guanlong."

"Ah Gui, follow me to Chang'an and meet the heroes outside the pass."

If we can capture all of this wave of outsiders, there will be no doubt that we will be able to deal a heavy blow to the forces outside Guanlong.

However, if they really fight hard and take down this group of top-level warriors, even if they rely on the blessing of national fortune and their combat power is increased several times to completely defeat these people, the entire Guanlong area will inevitably suffer unprecedented damage.

Furthermore, such behavior would completely detonate the madness of the aristocratic families and powerful lords outside Guanlong, causing them to completely overturn the table and attack Guanlong together.

It's not worth it.

What Yang Zhao and the entire Guanlong area under his command lack is only time. With the blessing of national destiny, the longer they can maintain a stalemate with the heroes of the world, the more beneficial it will be for the Guanlong area.

Given a year or two, the combat effectiveness of Yang Zhao's army will be fully developed.
