Ning Daoqi entered Luoyang City. Shi Feixuan asked: "Grand Master, are you going to let Chen Kang go like this?" Ning Daoqi sighed and said: "Chen Kang's life is hard. The strongest blow of the eight skills of the poor Taoist Sanshou failed to defeat Chen Kang , then you can't kill him. It's pointless to continue fighting." A strong Grandmaster is difficult to kill.
Unless there is an overwhelming advantage. Ning Daoqi was so confident before because he thought that Chen Kang was a new grandmaster and his cultivation was far behind him.
Facts have proved that Chen Kang's martial arts skills are stronger than Ning Daoqi imagined. In particular, Chen Kang's control of power is so meticulous that it can rival Ning Daoqi.
Kanshu La Shifeixuan said: "Then what should we do next?" Ning Daoqi said: "If we can't kill Chen Kang, we can only talk. As long as the core figures of the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan are not handed over, all conditions are acceptable. Talk." Ning Daoqi came to Luoyang and did not kill Chen Kang. If he handed over the core members of the Yuwen family and the Dugu family, then he, the most powerful master in the world, would be a joke.
As for other conditions and giving up some benefits, that doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not his interests rather than Dodge's.
Ning Daoqi said to Shi Feixuan: "Master girl, tell Yu Wenshang and You Chuhong what Pindao means later. Pindao will not see them." Shi Feixuan nodded and said: "Yes, Grand Master." Ning Daoqi said to Shi Feixuan. Dao Qi secretly thought that it was Ping Dao who underestimated Chen Kang. If he wanted to get rid of this person, at least two great masters would have to join forces to be completely sure.
...Chen Kang returned to the military camp. General Yang and other generals came to visit Chen Kang. Chen Kang said: "The general stays, and everyone else goes out." Wait for the other generals to go out.
Only Chen Kang and General Yang were left in the military tent.
"Puch." Chen Kang couldn't hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood. General Yang was shocked and said: "Mr. Chen." Chen Kang's face was pale, his energy was listless, and he no longer looked as energetic as before.
Chen Kang's injury was much more serious than it appeared on the surface. After taking Ning Daoqi's strongest killing move, Chen Kang's bones and internal capital were somewhat damaged.
Fortunately, Chen Kang's physical fitness and vitality were strong, and his vitality was not damaged, and his physical fitness could be restored to its peak.
Chen Kang sat down, waved his hand, and said: "Don't make any noise. Don't let anyone know about my serious injury except you. Otherwise, we will both die without a burial place." Chen Kang was very lucky to be strong and calm. , he looked so full of energy that he actually managed to hide it from Ning Daoqi.
If the aura on Chen Kang's body was a little unstable and a little chaotic, arousing Ning Daoqi's suspicion, then he would not be able to come back.
General Yang nodded and said: "Grand Master, I will ask someone to get the medicine right now." Chen Kang shook his head and said: "Don't get the medicine. Don't mention the healing. Next, you go talk to the Yuwen clan, the Dugu clan, and have a tougher attitude. . We must give them more benefits. Money, food, ironware, cattle and sheep... As long as it is property, we will take whatever they give." General Yang said: "I understand." Chen Kang said: "I want it. Adjust your breath to heal the injury. General, go and get busy first." Chen Kang's injury this time will require at least two months of rest to recover.
Chen Kang secretly said: "It will take another two months to heal. Ning Daoqi, this old guy, I will remember this account. There are also Yuwen Clan and Dugu Clan, I will let you two live a little longer Time." Chen Kang did not heal in the military camp, but left secretly to find a secret healing place.
It's not that Chen Kang doesn't trust General Yang, but that Chen Kang doesn't trust anyone completely. The human heart cannot withstand temptation and testing.
Who can guarantee that General Yang will not betray Chen Kang? ... Chen Kang and Ning Daoqi did not interfere in the negotiations between General Yang and the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan.
The see-saw negotiations between the two sides took more than 20 days to end. The Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan were responsible for providing food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops for a year. Secondly, the Yuwen family and the Dugu family withdrew from Luoyang, handed over the power of the court, and released all arrested civil and military officials.
General Yang knew that this was the bottom line for the two families. If we push too far, the negotiation will collapse, and in the end it may be a dead end.
You Chuhong said: "General, go back and tell Mr. Chen that the Dugu family will never set foot in Luoyang again. I hope this matter will be resolved." Yu Wenshang remained silent.
He knew that Chen Kang might let go of the Dugu family, but he would never let go of the Yuwen family. After all, it was Yu Wenhuaji who committed the regicide.
General Yang said: "Mrs. You, I will convey your words to you. As for what Mr. Chen thinks, Yang cannot control it." General Yang left with the negotiation team.
Yu Wenshang glanced at You Chuhong and sneered: "You Chuhong, do you still want to turn the war with Chen Kang into friendship? How can you just laugh away the grudges? Humph, stop dreaming. The grudge has been forged, you think it's just a child's play? Home? This is a fight to the death." You Chuhong said: "You are right. I also want to kill Chen Kang immediately. It's a pity that Ning Daoqi failed, what can we do?" Dugu The Jia and Yuwen families could only hug the thighs of Ning Daoqi and Cihang Jingzhai for protection.
According to the way Cihang Jingzhai works, the two families may become Cihang Jingzhai's dogs in the future and live without dignity.
...Two months later, Chen Kang's injuries recovered, and his physical fitness and combat power returned to their peak state. Chen Kang returned to Luoyang City again.
Zhu Yuyan sat in front of Chen Kang, a little restrained. Zhu Yuyan is eighty years old, but she still looks like she is in her thirties.
Although Tian Mo Ce's martial arts skills are evil and weird, they are still commendable in terms of beauty.
Chen Kang said: "Queen Yin, as you can see, there are hundreds of thousands of troops to support, and the daily consumption of wealth, money and food is huge. Chen hopes that the Demon Sect can give more support." Zhu Yuyan said: "Grand Master, the imperial court Aren't there taxes?" Chen Kang asked: "The people have nothing to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. They have been exploited by those wealthy families. Should I exploit them again? I will tell you the truth, whoever has money, I Who can I ask for? Of course, Queen Yin can also refuse me." Refuse?
Zhu Yuyan didn't have the courage. Chen Kang's tone seemed calm, but he was actually very tough. If she dared to refuse, she couldn't bear the consequences.
Zhu Yuyan said: "The Yinkui sect can contribute 100,000 shi of food and 800,000 taels of silver." This is equivalent to 30% of the Yinkui sect's wealth.
Chen Kang nodded. Zhu Yuyan pretended to be brave and said: "Grand Master, I want to keep Huan Huan by your side." Of course, Zhu Yuyan did not want Huan Huan to marry Chen Kang, but hoped to get Chen Kang's guidance.
A great master advised me to practice at least several times faster. Chen Kang glanced at Zhu Yuyan, nodded and said, "Okay. Let Huanhan stay with me for one year. After one year, no matter how many skills she can learn, she will leave." Zhu Yuyan said happily: "Thank you very much. Grandmaster."...Yinkui Sect, Huajian Sect, Butian Dao, Yuwen Family, Dugu Family... contributed a total of 4.3 million stones of food and grass, and 21.6 million guan of money.
Pei Ju handed the account book to Chen Kang. Chen Kang flipped through the pages and said: "You wealthy families and sects are so damn rich. Only now do I realize what the true meaning of 'the wine and meat smell of wine and meat in the rich family, and the roads that freeze to death.'" This It's just a small part of the wealth of the Demon Sect and the Yuwen family and the Dugu family, right?" Pei Ju smiled and said: "Grand master, our Demon Sect has handed over at least half of the wealth. The Yuwen family and the Dugu family may have handed over 60% of the wealth. . You can't kill the goose to get the eggs and drain the entire demon sect's blood, right?" Chen Kang glanced at Pei Ju, obviously not believing it.
The words of this old guy Pei Ju cannot be trusted, especially when it comes to the interests of his family and sect, there is not a single word of truth.
Pei Ju cried in front of Chen Kang not once or twice. At the end of the dynasty, the more turbulent the era, the poorer the people became, and even exchanged their children for food, the richer the noble families became.
Almost all the wealth in society is concentrated in the hands of those noble families. Chen Kang secretly said: "This money and food are enough for the imperial army for the time being. Pei Ju is right, you can't squeeze the Demon Sect too hard. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive." Not only can't you squeeze too much, but you also have to give the Demon Sect a lot of money. Some benefits.
Chen Kang doesn’t understand Zhengzhi, but he also knows that adding carrots to a stick means giving both kindness and power. Chen Kang said to Pei Ju: "Evil King, you have worked hard recently. The Demon Sect supports Chen, and I have to express it. I will give the Demon Sect a quota, and you can arrange for the best disciples to come over. I will teach and guide them for one year. "Since we agreed to let Huan Huan come over, then one sheep can be herded, and so can a group of sheep.
Pei Ju said in surprise: "Is the Grand Master serious?" Chen Kang snorted: "Can I lie to you?" Pei Ju said: "I don't doubt what the Grand Master said, but I am too excited and can't believe it. I'm going to Go back and tell the sect leader the news." Chen Kang said: "Wait a moment. The Demon Sect has paid the tax to support the imperial army. Cihang Jingzhai has not paid the tax yet. Evil King, you bring Chen's handwritten letter. , go to Cihang Jingzhai. It's time for those 'fairies' to shed some blood." Pei Ju said in shock: "The Grand Master wants to ask Cihang Jingzhai for benefits? There is Ning Daoqi behind them." Chen Kang Said: "Give me some time. Ning Daoqi has no chance to hurt me a second time." Pei Ju nodded and said: "Okay. I will go to Cihang Jingzhai for the great master."... Pei Ju has two true disciples.
They are Yang Xuyan, the successor of Butian Dao, and Hou Xibai, the successor of Huajian Sect. Yang Xuyan is twenty-nine years old. He is the son of the former crown prince Yang Yong and the legitimate son of the royal Yang family.
"Sentimental Young Master" Hou Xibai is twenty-two years old. He is charming and suave, has excellent calligraphy and painting skills, and is unparalleled in the world in magic and magic skills.
It can be said that the martial arts talents of the two are not inferior to those of Hanwan and Shi Feixuan. Yang Xuyan entered the Grandmaster realm last year.
Hou Xibai is at the peak of his innate ability, and is still a little behind the level of a master. Pei Ju planned to let Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai come to Luoyang.
Just one year of studying with Chen Kang is better than ten years of studying in the sect. Pei Ju secretly said: "It's a pity that Chen Kang only teaches young disciples. Otherwise, I would also like to study with Chen Kang. There are still some things I haven't understood in the "Tai Chi Theory"."... Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai After receiving Pei Ju's message, he immediately rushed to Luoyang.
Yang Xuyan arrived early.
"Master, I wonder if you have summoned the disciples to come over. What are your instructions?" Yang Xuyan said respectfully. Before coming to Luoyang, Yang Xuyan had just received an order to assassinate a master.
Yang Xuyan earned wealth by working as an assassin, and his identity was very secret. Even Pei Ju didn't know that Yang Xuyan was the most feared person in the world.
"Shadow Assassin". After all, Yang Xuyan must keep the true identity of the assassin secret and no one will tell it.
If others knew who Yang Xuyan was
"Shadow Assassin", then everyone will yell at him to beat him, and he will be unable to survive. Pei Ju said: "It's a good thing. The Grand Master gave the Demon Sect ten places. I decided to let you and Hou Xibai study with the Grand Master for one year." Yang Xuyan was shocked and said: "Master means that Mr. Chen will personally teach us ?" Pei Ju nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. This time the Demon Sect has paid so much wealth, it's impossible for the Grand Master not to express anything." Yang Xuyan suppressed his excitement and said: "Thank you, Master. The disciple will definitely live up to his expectations. As expected." Becoming a grand master is what Yang Xuyan dreams of.
Because only by becoming a grand master can he hope to regain the Yang family's empire. Yang Xuyan walked out of Pei Ju's mansion and looked at the palace.
Luoyang Palace is still the same palace, but there is no emperor in the palace. Yang Xuyan secretly said: "Yang Guang took away the throne from my father, and Yang Guang is dead. However, the throne and the country should belong to my Yang family. I must become a grand master. Only by becoming a grand master can I have Only when he has the opportunity to control the hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court can he be qualified to ascend the throne." Yang Xuyan was ambitious.
However, he has always been humble and did not show it. Being able to study with the great master Chen Kang this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yang Xuyan must grasp it. …
"Report." The messenger rushed into the general's mansion. General Yang asked: "What's going on?" The messenger said anxiously: "General, urgent military information. The Turkic Khan led 200,000 cavalry south." General Yang looked anxious and immediately came to Chen Kang with military information.
Chen Kang finished reading the military situation and looked gloomy. The Turks must have learned about the death of Sui Emperor Yang Guang, civil strife in China, and leaderlessness, so they took the opportunity to lead their troops south.
I have to say that Turk's timing this time was really precise. Chen Kang said: "General Yang, you are a great general. You are an expert in arranging troops and leading them in battle. What you did when you encountered this kind of thing before, you will do it now." General Yang said: "Grand Master , do you want to tell the news to other forces?" Chen Kang said: "Send a message to Wagangzhai, Wang Shichong, Li Tang, Dou Jiande, Lingnan Song clan and other forces, asking them to send troops to the border to resist foreign enemies. This time, the alliance leader will You will be the general." General Yang nodded and said: "No problem." Chen Kang said coldly: "Also. Send someone to tell Ning Daoqi and Cihang Jingzhai. Let Ning Daoqi go to the border to hold off Bi Xuan. If this happens If the old guy dares to refuse again, does not resist foreign enemies, and wants to be alone, I will kill him in the future!"
