Perhaps feeling that he had lost face, Li Chungang closed the curtains and got back into the carriage.
Jiang Zhiwei stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"Who is this senior?"
Shang Yi smiled and said:
“This is a legendary figure of a generation—Spring and Autumn Sword Armor Li Chungang!
It is said that Lu Zu’s swordsmanship is the best in thousands of years, and this senior Li is the only master in all these years whose swordsmanship is recognized to be equal to Lu Zu’s!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiwei's eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit. You must know that in so many reincarnations, she has never met a real opponent in the way of swordsmanship.
Now when I meet someone who can't see through Li Chungang, my swordsmanship must be higher than mine!
Jiang Zhiwei is very eager to fight Li Chungang.
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"Don't worry, you will definitely encounter some opponents along the way. Nowadays, due to Senior Li, there are many swordsmen in the world. All the swordsmen here can teach you!"
Jiang Zhiwei smiled and nodded:
"Thank you!"
Suddenly, horses' hooves formed in formation, and the ground trembled. It was obviously not a formation that a hundred light cavalry could create.
Xu Fengnian turned his horse's head and squinted his eyes to look over there. Shang Yi and others also looked back.
The carriage also stopped, and Jiang Ni, who had left the palace for the first time in his life, stuck his head out.
Xu Fengnian smiled and waved to the fearful Yu Youwei opposite him: "Change your horse and come sit here with me."
There are only two characters with such courage and skill in the entire Beiliang.
Father Xu Xiao doesn't dare to steal the spotlight from His Royal Highness.
Then the remaining one came to light.
Rumor has it that the villain Tu is the one who has hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen in Beiliang obeying his advice.
Can’t you recognize Xu Feng at the Annual Meeting?
Yu Youwei was not that shameless, but when she saw Xu Fengnian narrowing her long eyes, she had no choice but to dismount and then mount her horse, and sat in his arms.
With the addition of Euphorbia Ning'emei, three people appeared in Beiliang Siya.
Xu Fengnian clicked his tongue and said, "What a big pomp."
Surrounded by iron cavalry with swords and spears, a man dressed in white rode out.
Thinking back to that year, it seems that this man in white rode out of the battle with such grace and stabbed the wife and daughter of Ye Wusheng, the world-renowned leader of the famous generals, to death in front of the battle.
The handsome and elegant man bowed slightly on his horse and said softly: "Chen Zhibao is here to see His Royal Highness off."
In the field of vision of Beiliang Sanya and a dozen generals in the front row, they could only see a beauty in His Highness's arms, and a white cat in the beauty's arms.
On the one hand, he was one of the most outstanding figures of the younger generation who was born into a loyal general and had followed Xu Dazhu in the Spring and Autumn Period since he was a child.
On the other side is that gentleman who teases cats in the gentle country?
It seemed that for a moment, a verdict was reached.
Xu Fengnian wrapped a finger around the woman's black hair and said slowly: "I won't send it away."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Chen Zhibao, the white-robed soldier immortal, is worthy of being the villain of Beiliang. He has reached the sky without making a sound!
Beiliang is indeed a place of outstanding people, there will be a military strategist and Confucian sage in the future!"
Shang Yi praised aloud. Although his voice was not high, it was clearly heard by Chen Zhibao and other Beiliang soldiers.
Chen Zhibao raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he knew that people from Shanglou had been in Beiliang Palace recently and were very close to Xu Fengnian, Xu Xiao was still there after all, and he would not explore Xu Xiao's thoughts at this time.
He didn't expect that Shang Yi would point out some foundations as soon as they met. It was fine in the past, but now that Xu Xiao is old and has been paving the way for Xu Fengnian, if something happened in his heart...
Chen Zhibao then put the thought in his mind to rest. As long as Xu Xiao was around, he would not betray Beiliang, let alone make groundless speculations about Xu Xiao.
Xu Fengnian frowned and said:
"Celestial realm, future Confucian sage?"
Shang Yi nodded and said:
"Yes, although he is a little worse than the invincible official Cao Changqing, he is still close to a Confucian sage. If he gains Qi, he will be one of the best in the world. What's more, he is also a general who can command thousands of troops!
"
Xu Fengnian felt a little heavy when he heard this. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that Chen Zhibao would never be able to convince him. After Xu Xiao's death in the future, he would probably turn against him.
Originally, he hoped to convince Chen Zhibao when he grew up in the future, but now that Chen Zhibao was almost a Confucian sage, who could convince him?
Although Xu Fengnian was unwilling, he could only turn his horse's head, ignore Chen Zhibao, and head towards Qingzhou.
Seeing this, Shang Yi nodded. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chen Zhibao's prestige in the military was far beyond what Xu Fengnian could compare with. No matter what harsh words Xu Fengnian said, he was just a cat without claws.
Meng Qi approached Shang Yi, looked back at Chen Zhibao, and whispered:
"This one looks extremely extraordinary. Why does he seem to be at odds with Xu Fengnian?"
Shang Yi said:
"Chen Zhibao is known as the White-robed Soldier Immortal. He is like a god in his military use and is even more powerful. He is Xu Xiao's adopted son. He has won Xu Xiao's trust. He was even in charge of all military affairs in Beiliang when Xu Xiao was not in Beiliang. This is so impressive!"
"The more talented people are, the more arrogant they are. Chen Zhibao only obeys Xu Xiao and cannot understand Xu Fengnian's style. Although he will not turn against Beiliang, he will definitely cause trouble for Xu Fengnian in the future."
Even in the original work, Chen Zhibao really turned against Beiliang, not to mention that now that Princess Wu Su is about to be resurrected, Chen Zhibao will not turn against him!
Xu Fengnian got out of the carriage at some unknown time and rode on the big red date horse that was originally assigned to Yu Youwei. He looked up at the gray sky. As expected, there will be a heavy rain tonight. According to the current speed, he can stay in Hengshui City at dusk.
If it rains, you won’t have to walk in the rain.
Lu Qiantang, who was armed with a giant sword of red rosy clouds, led the way at the front. Shu Sha and Yang Qingfeng, who were not carrying weapons, were in charge of the rear. The old Taoist priest Wei Shuyang in the middle was holding the horse's belly and marching side by side with Xu Fengnian.
These four personal followers are all around the second level in strength. Even against a semi-immortal figure like Deng Tai'a Cao Guanzi, who is on the throne of a super master, they are still capable of fighting. At the worst, they can drag the cross-eyed old man in the carriage.
After picking your feet, pick out your nose.
Xu Fengnian asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Wei, what are the strengths of these top ten masters? Can you explain them in a simpler way?"
Meng Qi and others also looked over. Although Shang Yi had introduced the Central Plains Wulin to them before, they could better compare by listening to local people's opinions!
After thinking for a moment, Jiudou Mi Laodao said slowly:
"The old Taoist once heard something revealed by a great master in the sect. Not to mention Wang Xianzhi, who cannot be judged by common sense, there are nine people left, Deng Tai'a, the leader of the new generation of swordsmanship, Wang Mao, who uses a broken arc spear, and
Cao Guanzi is obviously a level higher than the other six.
The veteran speculates that the so-called top ten masters in the world are just more famous, and there should be a lot of people with real strength similar to the six. This group of people can probably be divided into two realms.
This calculation is in line with the "four levels of the first grade" of the great master in the sect. They are Vajra, Zhixuan and Celestial phenomena. The Vajra realm is considered to have entered the palace in the martial arts. The bones of the body are Vajra immortal, and the duty of guarding in the Chao Pavilion is
Li Yuanying's Liu Pu and Chu Kuangnu can probably join this ranks. The mysterious realm is indescribably wonderful. As for the deeper celestial phenomena, an experienced practitioner cannot lie.
I think that Jian Jiuhuang, who protected the Crown Prince during his journey of six thousand miles, was somewhere in between. The three Deng Tai'a, Wang Mao and Cao Guanzi each entered the Celestial Realm at different times. Only Wang Xianzhi sat firmly in this realm.
Diaoyutai has been there for half my life, and it is really out of reach, out of reach."
Xu Fengnian asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Wei, did you miss the last level?"
Wei Shuyang smiled and said:
"At that time, the Great Master only said that one would become an Earth Immortal after reaching this level. The old Taoist thought that if there was really someone with such magical powers in the world, the only one in the world would be Wang Xianzhi. Going back further, it was probably the Qi Xuan frame of Longhu Mountain and the change of fate for the late emperor against heaven.
The Heavenly Master Zhao can be counted.
However, every hundred years a Land Sword Immortal will emerge from the Wu Family Sword Tomb, so it’s time to take the lead.
As for the two Zen temples, it’s hard to say whether it’s a Buddhist holy land or not, but there’s a golden Arhat sitting there.”
Shang Yi opened his mouth and said:
"There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the rivers and lakes. When it comes to Longhu Mountain alone, there are two land gods who seem to be latent cultivators but are very active. One of them connected the Liyang Dynasty with Longhu Mountain through luck, making Longhu Mountain have to
Help the Liyang Zhao family; although one of them has reached the realm, he is not good at fighting and cannot open the Heavenly Gate and ascend, so he is waiting for a battle that can open the Heavenly Gate."
Xu Fengnian raised her eyebrows and said:
"Where is the Confucian sage?"
Shang Yi heard this and said:
"Confucianism is not bad either. There are three people in this world who can achieve the realm of Confucian sages, but all three of them lack energy and find it difficult to break through. They are stuck in the realm of celestial phenomena!"
Shang Yi did not mention Zhang Fuyao, the first generation Confucian sage who accounted for 80% of Confucianism's luck and ruled the world for 800 years.
Xu Fengnian said thoughtfully after hearing this:
"Three future Confucian saints? Cao Changqing, the invincible official, Chen Zhibao of Beiliang, and there is another one!?"
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"I'm still dormant at this moment, trying to clean up the filth in my house. If I told her, wouldn't it be a big deal for me?"
Xu Fengnian was shocked when he heard this and said:
"You even know such a thing!?"
A dormant future Confucian sage must have been well hidden, but Shang Yi, who had only been in the Central Plains for a few years, knew very well that such intelligence capabilities frightened Xu Fengnian!
Shang Yi shook his head and said with a smile:
"No, no, it's just a warlock's method from the Six Yao Money Department!"
Xu Fengnian looked at Shang Yi strangely and said:
"I didn't expect you to be able to tell fortunes!?"
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"I am a businessman, and I am most sensitive to things like coins. If it comes to other fortune-telling methods, I may still have some shortcomings, but when it comes to Liuyao Money, no one in the world can match me!"
Xu Fengnian suddenly became interested and said:
"Then you help me figure it out..."
Before he finished speaking, Shang Yi stopped him and said helplessly:
"Okay, it's not that simple. You have to know that you are the prince of Beiliang, and your luck is connected with the luck of Beiliang and Liyang dynasties. I am not Qin Tianjian. I can use the dynasty's luck to tell your fortune. That's quite a feat.
Because my destiny is pitted against the destiny of the entire Beiliang, you want me to die!"
Xu Fengnian shrank his hands when he heard this, as if he was a little embarrassed.
But Shang Yi could tell that Xu Fengnian was actually relieved.
As for luck, Xu Fengnian believed in it and knew the shortcomings of fortune-telling. However, Shang Yi's performance just now was so amazing that even a future Confucian sage could calculate it, so he had to give it a try.
How could Shang Yi not know what Xu Fengnian was thinking, so he immediately said:
"The reason why I can calculate this third one is not because of my high skills, but because this land god who is really not strong enough, but will risk his life to ascend to the world for a moment in the future, will achieve the realm of Confucian sage!"
Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and I became even more interested when you said that.
Meng Qi and others also looked at Shang Yi with great curiosity. Li Chungang in the carriage also poked his head out of the window, obviously wanting to know who this person was.
You must know that this is a future Confucian sage. If he can save this person at the critical moment of life and death or even take him under his command, it will be an unspeakable temptation for Beiliang, Shanglou and other forces.
Shang Yi rolled his eyes and said:
"Why should the prince be so excited? Isn't it enough to have a white-robed soldier in Beiliang!? This person was reserved by my business, otherwise why would I take the risk to calculate the secrets!?"
Xu Fengnian was still unwilling to give up and said:
"You can't tell that Chen Zhibao doesn't like me at all. How can he be mine?"
Shang Yi smiled and looked in the direction of Qingzhou without saying anything.
Xu Fengnian had no choice but to give up, but still gave a signal with his eyes, asking the people in the team to send the information back, and let Xu Xiao, who was in Beiliang, think of a way to try it.
After all, he is a future Confucian sage. Before the Spring and Autumn War, some people might still look down on scholars, but the invincible official Cao Changqing entered Liyang three times to assassinate the emperor and escaped unscathed. But people can see a scholar who reads to the core.
How terrible.
Seeing that Xu Fengnian was still unwilling to give up, Shang Yi spoke again:
"Actually, there are still people who have a chance. As long as they are willing, they can even achieve the goal of making heaven and earth as strong as Cao Changqing!"
Xu Fengnian's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"who!?"
Shang Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile:
"Zhang Julu!"
Xu Fengnian suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost, and then said harshly:
"Just him!?"
Shang Yi nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes, he could step into the sky at any time, but he didn't want to ruin the relationship between the king and his ministers, so he didn't step in!
Although he was at odds with the King of Beiliang, it was because of different political opinions, not to mention that Zhang Julu had never lacked Beiliang's logistical supplies! Unfortunately, although he opened a way for the poor scholars, he also offended many people, and I am afraid that in the future
The outcome will be bad, and it will even affect future generations!"
However, Xu Fengnian knew that even if Beiliang rescued Zhang Julu's descendants, he might not be able to gain Zhang Julu's loyalty.
Shang Yi shook his head and said:
"Don't be too greedy. The Qingniao driving the car has extraordinary qualifications. If nothing happens on the way, he will not be weaker than Chen Zhibao in the future. Jiang Ni in the carriage is born with a sword embryo, and his swordsmanship is not weaker than that of Princess Wu Su. What else are you dissatisfied with?
.
Seize what you can, the consequence of being greedy is that you can't seize anything, and you may regret it in the future!"
Qingniao is the daughter of the Spear Fairy Wang Xi, and she also has the qualifications of a land fairy. However, in the original work, in order to protect Xu Fengnian, she used a desperate shot, which damaged her foundation and was difficult to repair, and finally became a vase.
In today's world, with the protection of Zhenwu's true spirit, Xu Fengnian's strength and awakening speed will surpass those in the original work, and we will not let such a thing happen.
Everyone chatted all the way and safely left Beiliang and entered Yongzhou...
After entering the country, Xu Fengnian was not an old master of the Astronomical Administration after all. He could predict whether the weather would be cloudy, rainy, or snowy. The rainstorm came earlier and more urgently than he expected, so he took a shortcut to the scheduled resting place instead of taking the official road.
land.
His Royal Highness's temporary change of itinerary caused a group of enthusiastic and attentive people to suffer a lot.
In Yingrong County, north of Yongzhou, not only the city gates were wide open, but a group of officials ranging from the eighth to the sixth rank had gone out of the city for thirty miles and were waiting patiently in a pavilion for the arrival of His Royal Highness. The civil servants were headed by Zheng Hanhai, who was already a fat man.
A bloated old man in his 60s, Cao Ci, the assistant official of Yongzhou, is in charge of the financial records of half the state.
, I have been fighting for many years to be the chief of the bookkeeping department, but I have been a bit unlucky every time. The chief of the bookkeeping department in Yongzhou has changed several times, but Zheng Hanhai's butt has taken root in the position he held for the first time. An old civil servant with a Jinshi background happened to be in his hometown.
Yingrong County took a leave of absence to recuperate. With such a hard job, I had no choice but to drag my old and sick body out.
The military attache was led by Tang Yinshan, the deputy captain of the East Ban, with a rank of three hundred stones, which was not outstanding. What people dare not underestimate is that the deputy captain of Tang could command two hundred troops. The dynasty has been Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years.
No matter how powerful the civil servants were in the imperial court, the bachelors and bachelors from the four halls all seemed to have turned into civil servants from Jinshi overnight. They gathered in the four halls and exerted great pressure. But that was a matter in the capital, not to mention the rumors.
In Beiliang, where you can hear the sound of iron hoofs in your dreams, here in Yongzhou, the military generals still outnumber the civil servants. In the early years of Tangyinshan, the family fortunes were in decline, and they were not as good as those high-ranking scholars recommended by the Yongzhou nobles.
He could not read the scriptures, so he gave up his writing and joined the army. He was able to accumulate a lot of achievements in the Spring and Autumn Period National War. It was enough to get a deputy captain of the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a mediocre official salary but strong military power.
