Chapter 376: Meeting Yuan Tiangang for the First Time
Luzhou.
Although Li Maozhen stopped the Qi army's expedition, he did not choose to return directly to Fengxiang, the seat of Qi State. Instead, he led his troops to station in Luzhou City to consolidate the newly acquired territory. Perhaps he was also waiting to watch the Battle of Weizhou.
As a result, let's see if there is a chance to become a fisherman.
On this day, he was drinking and chatting with Chi Yao in the city lord's mansion.
"Brother Chi, how do you think the Battle of Weizhou will develop?"
Li Maozhen asked.
"Disaster,"
Chi Yao shook his head, "Although the Yellow River is not as difficult to cross as the Yangtze River, it is by no means easy. In addition, the coalition forces are not united, so it may be difficult to achieve success."
After all, there are not so many fancy ways to cross the river, and the main thing is to save lives, so just deciding who will take the lead is a big problem. The four-nation coalition sounds huge, but the actual effect of the fight may not be as good as one country putting all its efforts.
"Haha, heroes think alike."
Li Maozhen smiled slightly, he thought so too, so he only sent Li Cunli and some surrendered troops to deal with it.
"So, what do you think of Li Cunli?"
"As Li Keyong's adopted son and Li Siyuan's confidant, this person is still very useful to Qi State,"
Chi Yao stretched out, "The establishment of the Jin Kingdom mainly relied on the support of the Shatuo people, but after the deaths of Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, there are not many Shatuo people among the remaining eunuchs. So who can
Whoever gets more of these resources can truly inherit the Jin Dynasty's heritage, which cannot be compared with a short-term king. Li Cunli is a very suitable stepping stone."
The so-called Shatuo tribe is actually a branch of the Turks.
Because the royal family of the Tang Dynasty itself had some foreign ancestry, it had always had good relations with the foreign races in the surrounding areas.
For example, the marriage policy, which was regarded as humiliating by other dynasties, was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. Even the princesses who made the marriage would take the initiative to bring books, craftsmen, etc. from the Central Plains to foreigners to help them develop.
Especially in the middle and later stages, many of the generals who guarded the border were from foreign origins. They were not particular or discriminatory in this regard. They could be regarded as truly one family.
While the two were chatting, a burst of vigorous laughter suddenly sounded in the air.
Xun Sheng raised his head and saw a gray-robed figure standing on the glazed roof with cornices and corners. He was wearing a bamboo hat and a mask to cover his face. His whole body was wrapped tightly, but it didn't make people feel like he was hiding his head and tail. On the contrary, he seemed
He has a natural sense of domineering.
"Bad handsomeness!"
Li Maozhen exhaled and spoke in a calm tone.
From the moment he left Twelve Cave and returned to the Central Plains, he knew that sooner or later he would meet this person, the man who had been manipulating the Tang Dynasty from behind for three hundred years - Lao Immortal.
"Li Maozhen,"
Yuan Tiangang's cold voice came from behind the mask, "Killing the King of Jin without authorization and attacking Jin's fiefdom without any reason. Do you know your crime?"
It's a pity that Li Maozhen didn't agree with him, but said tit for tat:
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not me who killed the person who was personally conferred by Your Majesty as the King of Jin without authorization? I just killed a shameless villain who colluded with foreign enemies to sneak attack on the King of Jin. For the princes who were also conferred by Your Majesty, I
What crime did the King of Jin commit when he took revenge?"
These words are obviously scolding Li Siyuan, but you must know that the man who conspired with Li Siyuan to kill the former Jin King Li Ke was none other than the bad commander Yuan Tiangang himself!
But who is Yuan Tiangang?
Three hundred years of ups and downs had long since sharpened his heart to a rock-hard state, and such a small irony would not touch him at all.
"Interesting, it seems that you have been going to Twelve Cave for many years, and not only have you learned the art of voodoo, but you have also made great progress in your talking skills."
Huh~
In a flash, Yuan Tiangang appeared at the stone table where the two were sitting opposite each other. Ignoring Li Maozhen's tense look, he looked at Chi Yao leisurely, his eyes full of inquiry.
"You are very special. Even though I have tried my best to find out any information about your past, I have come to ask you personally today."
Faced with Yuan Tiangang's pressure from close range, Chi Yao calmly drank half of the drink in his glass and smiled slightly, "Miao Jiang Chi Yao, I am an undisciplined person. I am overworked, so please worry about it."
"San people?"
Yuan Tiangang repeated it noncommittally, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
Chi Yao's reaction was not slow either, and he was already ready to fight as soon as he saw the bad handsome man.
After all, for a guy who calls himself a chess player on the world's chess board, the most annoying thing is probably the variables that are beyond his control.
Bang——
Chi Yao raised his hand to block it, and his energy burst out. The shock wave leaked out and directly shattered the stone table next to him. Then the two of them stood up and brushed away the smoke.
"You can actually block one of my moves. You are so proud of your strength."
Yuan Tiangang's tone remained calm.
"Yuan Tiangang, are you a little too arrogant to come to this king to take action?!"
Li Maozhen scolded angrily, and his whole body was full of momentum, as if he would join hands with Chi Yao to fight against him at any moment.
"Hmph, you are not qualified to judge my actions."
Yuan Tiangang did not choose to continue taking action, but turned around and flew away. He was not here to kill anyone today.
After the bad guy left, Li Maozhen looked at Chi Yao with concern: "Brother Chi, are you okay? Yuan Tiangang's skills are extraordinary, so it's best not to leave any hidden injuries."
"It doesn't matter."
Chi Yao waved his hand. Because he had been prepared for the attack, he not only passively accepted the attack, but also took the opportunity to test Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang practices the self-created Tiangang Jue, which has extremely pure and deep skills, taking into account many advantages such as explosive power and body protection. It can be called the number one internal skill in the world.
Except for the Seven Star Technique created by his close friend Li Chunfeng, which can break the body's energy, no martial arts can shake it.
However, what Chi Yao used was not martial arts.
At the beginning of the fight, he used seven or eight kinds of Gu in succession, including the Green Marrow Gu, which was specialized in breaking Qi, to test, trying to find out the weakness of Yuan Tiangang's body-protecting Qi.
But the effect is not very obvious.
The highly poisonous Gu insects are basically unable to get in and are defeated to death. The green marrow Gu can bite, but Yuan Tiangang's internal strength is too strong, and the rate of erosion cannot be as fast as the rate of replenishment.
"It would be great if the poison of pill bite could be made into a gu."
Thoughts were swirling in Chi Yao's mind.
But what he didn't know was that the Green Marrow Gu, which he despised as ineffective, was the root cause of Yuan Tiangang's hasty departure.
…
…
Outside Luzhou City.
"Commander..."
Mirror Heart Demon carefully bent down to accompany him, "I need my subordinates to confront Qi Country..."
"No, this chaos is about to come to an end. He is about to take the initiative to find the Longquan treasure to complete his mission. You just need to keep an eye on him."
Yuan Tiangang ordered, "As for me, I need to go to Miao territory first!"
He recalled the unknown Gu worms that seemed to be able to eat away at his body-protecting energy, his face looked a little solemn under the mask, and he planned to go to Twelve Cave to find out.
