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

It is extremely abnormal that such a fertile place does not have powerful aristocratic families or martial arts sects.

In addition, Yang Zhao has several large armies under his command.

The Great Sun Patrol Guards are the personal guards and cannot be too far away from Yang Zhao.

The Nine Yang Guards and the Five Elements Flags have now fallen into a semi-shutdown state, mostly used to maintain order in Guanlong and provide fresh blood for the Great Sun Patrol Guards.

The Zuo Yiwei army is stationed at the four borders to guard against foreign enemies and cannot move lightly.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is a famous cavalry unit. If they enter the mountains and forests of Sichuan and Shu, they will lose their martial arts.

Lei Li's army was indeed useful, but Yang Su and his son Yang Xuangan were too violent in the Central Plains. They not only looted the legitimate daughters of Zheng and Cui, but also brought Empress Xiao into Chang'an.

At this critical juncture, except for the Guanlong area, Yang Zhao was afraid that Yang Su and his son would be beaten to death.

After all, Yang Guang and the Guandong family had lost so much face that it was impossible for them not to take revenge on the father and son. A large army could not prevent the assassination of a strong man at the ceiling level of Martial Saint.

Hearing Yang Zhao's words, Liu Laozhi frowned.

Even Xie Xuan was a little agitated and said, "Your Highness, Sichuan and Shu in the Great Sui Dynasty are not a good place. There are..."

Yang Zhao waved his hand, interrupting Xie Xuan's words and looking directly at Liu Laozhi.

Even though Liu Laozhi proposed such an excessive request to rebuild the Northern Army, Yang Zhao could still agree to it.

And now, Yang Zhao wants to see what Liu Laozhi can achieve after joining his team.

The atmosphere was as stiff as a cup of tea.

Liu Laozhi seemed to have made a decision in his mind, and said resolutely: "Your Highness has ordered that I am willing to die for Your Highness. If I cannot return, I beg Your Highness not to disband the Northern Army flag, and let the next generation take over."

There was great terror in Sichuan and Shu during the Sui Dynasty.

Even a martial saint-level warrior like Liu Laozhi is in danger of falling.

Fortunately, Yang Zhao was very satisfied with Liu Laozhi's answer.

Then, Yang Zhao summoned the Imperial World-Suppressing Bell and took away Liu Laozhi's true spirit. He then said, "I have deployed a hundred thousand troops in Sichuan and Shu, and the Duzun Fortress as support. If necessary, Ah Gui, Mu Qing, Xiang Lao, and even Lingnan Tiandao can all be transferred to Sichuan and Shu to fight."

When Liu Laozhi heard Yang Zhao's words, his eyes lit up.

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Serve me as your master, and let your true spirit enter the bell. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to die."

Liu Laozhi smiled innocently and said, "Your Highness is wise, much better than Liezong and Huan Xuan back then. I will obey your orders from now on."

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You and Lord Xianwu, go and rest for a few days and get familiar with Chang'an and Guanlong. After seven days, we will get drunk together in Wenhua Palace."

After saying this, Yang Zhao led the girls away.

After being in seclusion for more than half a year, Yang Zhao, as soon as he came out, went to Zhuque Street to deal with a group of troublemakers. He had not yet had time to sort out the method of opening the acupoints that he had deduced.

Moreover, Yang Zhao was quite lonely as he had been alone for most of the year.

With a group of rough guys, Yang Zhao was able to spend so much time to solve the problem with patience, which was quite tolerant.

Chapter 607 Happy New Year and All the Best

Happy New Year to all my readers. Nothing much to say. I'll just kowtow to you.

~~

Seven days is not a long time for Yang Zhao, who has just been in seclusion for more than half a year.

After all, Yang Zhao only had to accompany the girls in his harem, and it was too late for each of them to take turns in a day. In addition, Yang Zhao also needed to understand the affairs of the court and the military for more than half a year.

At the same time, these seven days are also a way to give cold treatment to the heroes who come.

Now, Li Hanyi, Li Bai, Zi Yang Zhenren and others have all thought about easing relations with Yang Zhao, maintaining neutrality, or even joining Yang Zhao's side.

This kind of combat power, which is at the ceiling level of a Martial Saint, still needs to be given some respect.

Yang Zhao’s meaning is already very clear.

Just let those heroes come and secretly do what they should and can do within these seven days, and then leave Chang'an and Guanlong obediently, and the matter will be over.

Otherwise, given the current situation.

It was not difficult for Yang Zhao to make up his mind and keep all the heroes in Chang'an from then on.

No one knows what the situation is in Daxing Palace.

Chang'an, Ping'anfang.

In the Li family.

Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing both looked with extremely grim expressions at Madam Dou, who was idly taking care of the flowers in the garden, and Li Jiancheng, who was lying down leaning against the railing listening to music.

Li Shimin was once the "traitor" of this family and it is difficult to talk to him.

Liu Wenjing thought for a moment and spoke first to persuade them: "Madam, why don't you pack up as soon as possible and go to Luoyang with us? The master of the family has already invested a lot of money in Luoyang. In the backyard..."

Mrs. Dou, wearing a pair of silk gloves, stood up suddenly and turned to look at Liu Wenjing with gentle eyes.

Liu Wenjing's words suddenly stopped.

Those were a pair of compassionate eyes that seemed to see through the world as seen by the Buddha. Although Mrs. Dou did not say a word, Liu Wenjing already knew that he could not persuade her at all.

Liu Wenjing couldn't help but look at Li Jiancheng in the pavilion next to him.

Li Jiancheng patted the singer in his arms, raised his glass to greet Liu Wenjing, and showed a free and easy smile.

Liu Wenjing was shocked and felt a little overwhelmed. He looked at the second master Li beside him.

Li Shimin was also in a dilemma, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Brother, why don't you go and persuade mother? Now that we have Yuan Gong, Li Zu and others to take care of us, Yang Zhao will definitely not stop us..."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Erlang, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao never stopped my mother and me from leaving Chang'an, but my mother and I are reluctant to leave here."

Li Shimin's mouth froze, not knowing what to say.

Li Jiancheng also sighed and asked the singing girls to leave. He looked more sincere than ever before and said, "Erlang, you are a tyrant. If I really want to go to Luoyang with you, can you tolerate me?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Li Jiancheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Mother knows our personalities. You were born too late, so you can't be the eldest son, and I am a soft-hearted brother. I am afraid I can't control you and Sanlang. In the end, you and I will fight to the death for that position."

Li Shimin wanted to argue again, saying, "Brother, I have no intention of competing with you. I will definitely assist you..."

Looking at Li Jiancheng's eyes as clear as water, Li Shimin was unable to continue speaking.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Erlang, as long as mother is here, I believe you. But if you and I don't fight, will the Li of Longxi and the Li of Zhaojun let it go?"

Combining the three Lis has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that all the Li clans in the Sui Dynasty can be united to form a huge oligarchic family like a monster. The disadvantage is that among such oligarchic families, such as Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li and others, they will definitely support a son of the Li family respectively, resulting in huge internal conflicts.

Regardless of whether the Li family can gain control of the world, such an environment cannot accommodate the existence of two extremely capable young men.

Li Shimin was speechless and said nothing.

Li Jiancheng looked at Liu Wenjing again and said, "Mr. Liu, go back and tell my father that my mother is doing well in Chang'an and I will take good care of her. Moreover, although Xiuning has joined Prince Zhao's palace, she is still my daughter after all."

"I'm not afraid of being blamed by my father. If our Li family hadn't been fighting with Prince Zhao for the throne, with Xiu Ning taking care of me, I would have joined Prince Zhao's palace and made a career."

Madam Dou also looked at Li Shimin with a complicated expression, and finally said, "Erlang, you are cruel. I never thought about how much you brothers and sisters could achieve. Don't blame me. You are all my flesh and blood. If there is a fight in the future, Erlang, can you spare Sanlang's life?"

Li Yuanji was a troublesome person. Long before Yang Zhao lifted the ban on the Li family, he had already flown out of Chang'an and Guanzhong and returned to his hometown in Taiyuan. Recently, he has been making his business flourish and has gathered a large number of troops.

The atmosphere within the Li family was depressing.

And at this time the Cui family mansion.

Zheng Guanyin and Cui Yingying met their fathers in the East Wing Garden and the West Wing Garden respectively.

Zheng Jibo looked at his darling daughter, who was dressed in military uniform, jumping around, and even a little fatter, with a strange expression on his face and a pain in his heart.

This damn girl, why does she look so much happier than when she was in Rongyang?

Zheng Jibo didn't know that after arriving in Chang'an, Yang Xuangan didn't dare to do anything to Zheng Guanyin and Cui Yingying. He only restricted their escape and let them live freely in Chang'an.

Not only did they not dare to be disrespectful, they also offered large amounts of silver as offerings.

Zheng Guanyin, somehow, got in touch with Zhangsun Wuji, Yin Xiaoniang, and Song Yuhuan, and lived a carefree life every day like a bird that had flown out of a cage.

Zheng Jibo's arrival was sudden. Zheng Guanyin had originally planned to go hunting in the forest with her sisters today, so she wore a military uniform and looked less like a lady from a noble family.

Being caught by her own father, Zheng Guanyin felt a little embarrassed and said, "Father, your daughter..."

"Hey, my dear daughter, I'm sorry for you."

"Chang'an is a remote place, and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is surrounded by many experts and has a strong army. Even though my father came here this time, he cannot take you back to Rongyang..."

Although Zheng Jibo was surprised by his daughter's appearance, he still calmed down a little.

He planned to use a trick of self-torture first, and then persuade his daughter to please King Zhao, preferably by successfully breaking into King Zhao's harem, so as to leave a way out for his family.

However, Zheng Jibo’s self-torture trick has not yet been completed.

But Zheng Guanyin's eyes lit up and he said, "Really, Dad? Not going back to Rongyang, that would be great..."

Zheng Jibo: “…”

Zheng Guanyin was embarrassed, then pretended to be worried, and said, "Father, what I mean is that you don't need to worry about me. I can take care of myself in Chang'an. It's just that I can't be filial to you, father and mother. I am heartbroken and can only cry every day..."

Zheng Jibo: “…”

My daughter, if you hide your smile carefully, your father might believe it.

Chapter 608: The morale of the team is scattered and it is difficult to lead the team

No one knew how depressed Zheng Jibo was.

At this time, in the west wing garden of the Cui family mansion, Cui Yan also saw his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time.

Different from Zheng Guanyin's well-educated, cheerful and cheerful personality.

Cui Yingying is a typical flower-burying girl, because she grew up under the care of Old Madam Cui, and was instilled with all kinds of things like "sacrifice for the family" and "daughters are money-losing goods" by Old Madam Cui, so she has always been submissive and melancholy.

But it's been more than half a year since we last met.

When Cui Yan saw his daughter again, he found that his originally weak daughter had changed drastically. In her yard, a strange spirit sheep as big as a calf was placed on the charcoal fire, and next to it were several jars of opened old wine.

The moment she saw her biological father, Cui Yingying instinctively hid the huge leg of lamb behind her back. Her squirrel-like face bulged, and she swallowed the meat in her mouth in one gulp, but choked.

Then, under Cui Yan's stunned gaze, Cui Yingying picked up a jar of wine that weighed at least ten kilograms, and gulped down half of it before swallowing it.

Only then did Cui Yingying blush and ask, "Daddy, why are you here?"

Cui Yan was shocked at first, then choked with grief, his eyes reddened, and he said, "Yingying, it's because of your father's incompetence that you are trapped in Chang'an and have no way to relieve your worries. But my dear daughter, you can't abuse yourself like this and overeat."

Cui Yingying blushed a little and said, "Daddy, I didn't abuse myself, nor did I overeat, it's just, just..."

Cui Yingying wanted to explain something.

Cui Yan casually picked up a cloth hammer and threw it far away, saying, "Daughter, Dad has heard from the servants that you let the maids hit it with the cloth hammer every day. Daughter, no matter how sad you are, you can't hurt your body."

Cui Yingying blushed even more and whispered, "Daddy, no, I just practiced the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt..."

pat.

Cui Yan was, after all, the head of the Cui family. Although he himself was not talented, he had the support of his family's resources and was now a master. He had sharp ears and eyes, and he heard the mosquito-like sound of his daughter.

That's why Cui Yan almost hit his chin on the ground.

After a long while, Cui Yan felt a little dizzy and said, "My dear daughter, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly!"

Cui Yingying said in a low voice: "My daughter only practiced the Golden Bell Armor and Iron Cloth Shirt. Because the energy consumption of practicing is quite high, I ate a little more. However, these spirit sheep were sent by Daxing Palace. My daughter did not..."

Cui Yan couldn't hear clearly what Cui Yingying said next.

When Cui Yan heard the six words "Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt", he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, his whole head was buzzing, and he completely lost the ability to think.

After coming out of Cui’s mansion.

Both Zheng Jibo and Cui Yan were in a bad mood. They looked at each other as if they wanted to say something, but finally they sighed and lowered their heads.

Half a moment.

Zheng Jibo tried to cheer himself up and asked, "Brother Cui, where is your daughter?"

Cui Yan's face froze, and he forced a smile, saying, "Yingying is in good spirits and in good health. She has been on good terms with several princesses in Daxing Palace recently, and has developed a special physique. As long as her physique is fully developed, she will be a true martial saint. She has been booked by several princesses to live in Prince Zhao's mansion."

My own daughter is in good health.

The six words "Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt" were like a sledgehammer in Cui Yan's mind, making his brain buzz all the time.
