Chapter 89 Li Chungang
At this point, Wang Chao of the Assassin's League became Ye Qi's slave.
There are several rules for being a slave. One is that you cannot attack your master. Two is that you must obey your master's orders. If you disobey, the collar will make you suffer unbearable pain or even die.
Looking at the well-behaved Wang Chao in front of him, Ye Qi touched his head with satisfaction.
"Very good. From now on I will call you Gousheng. Guo Jia, you will control Gousheng and give him tasks to carry out."
"As you command, my lord."
Guo Jia then began to control and plot against Gousheng.
Ye Qi returned to the place where Xu Fengnian taught his skills.
Wang Zhonglou and Xu Fengnian were suspended in mid-air, but the power transmission had not yet ended.
On a mountain not far away, Princess Suizhu was watching the two men teaching each other martial arts. She concluded that Wudang had already defected to Beiliang.
Hong Xixiang on the side fanned the flames: "If we interrupt the two of them now and let their internal energy disrupt Xu Fengnian's meridians, he will be completely useless."
"But if you do this, won't Xu Xiao hate you to death?"
"How can Xu Xiao be relied upon?"
Princess Suizhu admired Hong Xixiang's loyalty to the imperial court and declared that if the plan succeeded, she would support him to become the new leader of Wudang.
Hong Xixiang was extremely excited. He turned around and led everyone to kill Xu Fengnian.
At this moment, Wudang Wang Xiaoping appeared, holding a peach wood sword and blocking the way. Without saying a word, he attacked and knocked several people to the ground in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Wang Zhonglou had finished teaching his skills, and as for how much internal energy Xu Fengnian could absorb, it all depended on his own luck.
The matter was done and Princess Suizhu had no choice but to invite Hong Xixiang to return to Beijing with her, but was unexpectedly rejected.
"My senior brother, the leader, has lost all his power. Wudang will definitely elect a new leader. I want to give it a try. Only if I can become the leader can I turn the tide."
Princess Suizhu was very satisfied: "Very good, the court will definitely fully support you in taking over Wudang."
Then he glared at Xu Fengnian and turned down the mountain.
Hong Xixiang didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they were far away.
"Brother Xiao Wang performed well."
"Each each other."
The tacit cooperation between the two completely deceived Princess Suizhu and indirectly let the court know that they had their own people in Wudang.
At this time, Xu Fengnian slowly woke up, got up and moved around, and found that he was no different from before.
So he drew his sword and tried it out.
With one slash of the knife, the stone was split into two halves by the internal energy before it even touched the stone. Only then did he realize how powerful internal force is.
But Wang Chonglou's time is running out.
"Wudang is a sect that is neither big nor small. It is so difficult to survive in this world. How difficult it must be for the common people. If the prince takes over Beiliang one day, please think about them."
Wang Zhonglou's words came from the bottom of his heart. Xu Fengnian listened carefully and made a secret decision in his heart. He would return to the palace and agree to let Xu Xiao take over Beiliang.
But he did not take the two paths given by Xu Xiao. He wanted to create a third path on his own.
That is to become the best in the world.
Finally, the matter of Wudang Mountain came to an end.
Xu Fengnian's younger brother Xu Longxiang went to Longhu Mountain, and Xu Fengnian obtained the Dahuangting. Ye Qi also used the spiritual energy of Wudang Mountain to be promoted to the Grand Master, Tianxiang Realm.
Since Xu Fengnian wanted to take over Beiliang, everyone rushed back to Lingzhou without stopping.
After returning to the palace, Xu Fengnian told Xu Xiao that he was willing to take over Beiliang.
Xu Xiao was stunned. How did he suddenly figure it out? "Only if I take over Beiliang can I bring Huang Man'er home."
Xu Xiao seemed to be thinking about something. With this goal alone, Xu Fengnian would not be able to be a good ruler of Beiliang.
"You don't agree!?" Xu Fengnian was stunned.
"No, no, no, no, I'm so happy. It's just that the reason is not enough. It doesn't matter, I'll give you one."
"Can this be delivered?"
Xu Xiao did not explain and asked Xu Fengnian to go to Tingchao Pavilion to wait, and he would arrive later.
In order to make Xu Fengnian understand Beiliang, Xu Xiao took him to the Hall of Heroes under the Tingchao Pavilion. Peace was hard-won, and the heroes built the Great Wall together.
Looking at the huge cenotaph, Xu Fengnian's heartbeat slowed down. He had vaguely guessed why his father had given it to him.
Xu Xiao pointed at the spirit tablets and introduced them one by one: "Chen Zhibao's father, he sacrificed his life in exchange for me during the Jin-Liao War. Otherwise, this position today would be his."
Everyone said that Chen Zhibao would rebel, but Xu Xiao knew in his heart that it was impossible.
The heroic deeds of other heroes were then introduced, and there were countless heroic souls who did not even have names.
At that time, Xu Xiao started out with 600 brave cavalrymen, but now he has become successful and is the commander of a region, and almost all of those 600 people are here.
It is true that one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
But now there is a problem. The people of Beiliang only recognize flags with the word "Xu" on them, which makes the imperial court very wary. If Xu Fengnian is unwilling to take over and Beiliang no longer has the surname Xu, then the 350,000 Beiliang cavalry will surely cause chaos in the world.
"The world that so many people died to save is now completely destroyed."
After hearing his father's words, Xu Fengnian suppressed the shock in his heart. At this moment, he felt that his father's hunched figure became taller and taller.
Xu Fengnian straightened his body and bowed deeply to the Beiliang heroes around him to express his respect. In his heart, he sang silently, "The magnificent Beiliang spirit song." "Millions of households are in sorrow and desolation. How many of them are covered in iron armor? Their fame and honor are only given a pot of wine. How many handfuls of dirt do the emperors and generals have?"
Xu Fengnian agreed to take over Beiliang, but he didn't want to follow Xu Xiao's path. After all, killing and scheming could not last long.
Xu Xiao couldn't persuade him, so he agreed to let him go out and try his luck, hit the wall, and experience the harshness of society.
So, Xu Fengnian decided to go south to the Central Plains to try his luck.
The main purpose is to go to Wudi City and take Lao Huang's sword box.
This time when Xu Fengnian went south to the Central Plains, Nangong Pushe not only raised a toast to see him off, but also lent him both swords, and his concern was beyond words.
On the other side, Ye Qi was reading a book in Tingchao Pavilion. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old man stealing a book.
This was an old man with a broken arm, short stature, skinny bones, cross-eyed, a goatee, and wearing an old and tattered sheepskin coat. He stole books while picking his nose and smeared his nose on the books.
Seeing this, Ye Qi immediately threw away the book in his hand. Who knows if there was any booger on it?
There is no doubt that this old man is one of the hidden big bosses, the Sword God Li Chungang.
Li Chungang, the Sword Master among the Thirteen Jia in the Spring and Autumn Period, one of the four great masters before Jiazi, a swordsmanship genius that appears once every five hundred years, and the only one in the past thousand years whose swordsmanship can be compared with Lu Zu.
At the age of 16, he entered the Vajra realm, at the age of 19, he entered the Mysterious Finger realm, and at the age of 24, he entered the Celestial Phenomenon realm. After that, he kept his sword sheath closed for six years, without drawing a single sword, and finally developed the sword that could open the gates of heaven with its powerful sword intent.
If one can achieve the state of opening the gate of heaven with a sword, then one has reached the state of heaven.
Because of some things in the past, his realm fell to the Zhixuan realm, and there has been no news since then. In fact, he went to the old site of Fengdu and was imprisoned in the Tingchao Pavilion of the Beiliang Palace for twenty years.
"Boy, don't you know it's rude to stare at people?" Li Chungang said.
"I'm squinting. I'm looking at the things next to me."
"Squint? I've never heard of it. You're making fun of me, an old man. Do you have any wine?"
Ye Qi threw him a bottle of 56-proof Erguotou, and Li Chungang felt a burning sensation in his stomach after taking a gulp.
With ancient technology, it is impossible to brew such a high-proof wine. After drinking it, Li Chungang exclaimed: "Great wine!"
