East Factory.
Cao Zhengchun sat on the governor's seat and carefully looked at some files within the East Factory.
"Tap-ta-"
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and then a man with a gloomy appearance and white eyebrows walked in quickly.
"Subordinates, please see the Governor!"
Cao Zhengchun raised his eyelids slightly, but still looked at the file in his hand quietly, and said calmly: "Tell me, what happened? You are so panicked."
The white-browed man said in a deep voice: "Master Governor, something happened to the Jin Yiwei."
"Um?"
Cao Zhengchun's face changed slightly, and he immediately raised his head to look at the white-browed man: "Jin Yiwei?"
The man with white eyebrows nodded: "Xichang Yuhuatian has won over Wang Yi, the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen, and received the transfer order from Beisi. Now the several thousand households in the capital have all been won over by people from Xichang and are ready to follow. Xichangchang transforms the fields with public rain, and goes to the northwest desert to seize the treasures of the Great White Kingdom!"
"What?!"
Cao Zhengchun stood up immediately, looking shocked and angry: "Why don't you report such a big matter to the governor in advance?!"
The man with white eyebrows looked ugly: "All the people who were in charge of the East Factory are dead, and all the informants who were buried outside have been cut off. Our intelligence cannot keep up, and the people in the West Factory are secretive, and the news was not exposed until today. "
"Damn it!"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes were gloomy, he turned to look in the direction of the West Factory, and snorted coldly: "First, he planned an internal fight in the East Factory, leaving a mess for our family to deal with, and then took the opportunity to conquer the Jin Yiwei. Yuhuatian, what a good trick!"
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun instantly saw Yuhuatian's true purpose.
From the beginning, his goal was not Dongchang, but Jinyiwei!
Although Jin Yiwei has been just a dog under Dongchang these years, his strength is unquestionable.
If there were no Jinyiwei, what could be accomplished with the hundreds of people under Dongchang's command?
Yuhuatian is the arm of Duandong Factory!
"Lord, what should we do now?"
The white-browed man's expression was very ugly. He followed Cao Zhengchun out of the palace and now holds the position of head stall in Dongchang. He thought he could finally leave the palace and take control of the real power.
Who knew that after entering Dongchang and slowly getting to know each other, they realized that the water in Dongchang was deeper than they imagined.
It is not an easy task to completely stabilize the situation and take control of Dongchang.
But now, before Dongchang and the others have complete control, Jinyiwei's arm has been severed by Xichang.
If this continues, even if they control the East Factory, their strength will not be as strong as the West Factory!
"What else can we do? The deal is now done. Since Yuhuatian has chosen to attack Jin Yiwei, he must have planned everything long ago. Now it is too late to take back Jin Yiwei from Xichang!"
Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly.
The white-browed man gritted his teeth, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said: "We can't get it, and Xichang can't get it either!"
"My subordinates have already inquired about it. Wang Yi, the governor of Beisi, is just a wallflower. As long as he kills the thousands of households below who control the real power, and then arranges for our people to take over, Wang Yi will naturally know what choice to make!"
Cao Zhengchun gave him a cold look: "If you attack Jin Yiwei now, are you a pig?"
"Xichang attacked Jin Yiwei, and even we got the news, so the emperor must have known about it, but until now there has been no movement in the palace, which shows that the emperor tacitly approved of this matter."
"Moreover, Yuhuatian first obtained the transfer order from the Northern Division before taking action against the Jinyiwei. This matter is completely in line with the rules. It is our incompetence and one step behind."
"If we attack Jin Yiwei without any formalities, then we have broken the rules."
"Remember, although we in Dongchang are ordered by the emperor and are above all officials, no matter what we do, we must not break the rules, otherwise even the emperor will not be able to protect us!"
The white-browed man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hand: "Yes, Lord Governor, I know my mistake."
Cao Zhengchun's expression softened a bit, and then he glanced in the direction of the palace and continued: "Also, although our family was transferred from the palace, for the emperor, what he needs is someone who can really do things. .”
"Whether the East Factory or the West Factory is just a knife in the hands of the Emperor, what the Emperor cares about is whether the two knives are good or not. As for whether the two knives will fight each other, the Emperor does not care."
"In fact, the emperor tacitly approved the internal fighting between our east and west factories."
"A king needs balance."
"Before, it was because the power of the East Factory was too great and Wanyu Tower was not very disciplined, so the emperor ordered the establishment of the West Factory to check and balance Wanyu Tower."
"Now that Wanyu Tower is dead, the emperor has sent our family to take charge of the East Factory to check and balance Yuhuatian."
"But now Xichang attacks Jin Yiwei first and breaks Dongchang's arm. In the eyes of the emperor, this is a sign of incompetence for our family. Do you still expect the emperor to make the decision for our family?"
"Remember, although our family has been guarding the palace for many years, if our performance is not good and the emperor is completely disappointed in our family, the emperor will not care about an incompetent person."
The man with white eyebrows was shocked, and he cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
Cao Zhengchun nodded slightly, then he pondered for a moment and said: "Since Jinyiwei has been controlled by Yuhuatian, we don't need to worry about it for the time being. For now, we still focus on controlling the East Factory."
"By the way, have those experts under Wan Yulou agreed to join our family?"
The white-browed man nodded: "The masters trained by Wan Yulou, Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Xi now have nowhere to go, and almost all have chosen to follow the governor. Among them are many first-rate warriors, and there are also three innate masters."
"Three people?"
Cao Zhengchun frowned: "The news I got before is that there are four innate masters under Li Zhong?"
Hearing this, the man with white eyebrows looked a little ugly and said: "The boss named Zheng Yuan had already left Dongchang and joined Yuhuatian before we came here."
"It's Yuhuatian again, you should be damned!"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes also darkened, and then he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hands, and said: "That's it, just leave. How is the training of the black-clad archery team you asked to train?"
"We have already started training. In two months at most, we will see the results."
The white-browed man replied.
"very good."
Cao Zhengchun nodded, then snorted coldly, and said: "Let Yu Huatian see that our family is not lacking in people who can handle things even if there are no Jin Yiwei!"
…
Boom, boom, boom——
The distant morning bell passed through the misty rain and mist.
Thousands of streets and lanes in the capital city were filled with smoke rising one after another amidst the sound of bells, and the administrative offices located in various departments of the imperial city also began a new day of government affairs.
The inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion of Xichang.
Following the melodious sound of the bell, Yuhuatian also slowly opened his eyes from practicing. A majestic aura burst out from his body, and then quickly restrained himself.
The pure Qi in the body also flows from all the meridians throughout the body, and then pours into the Dantian, nourishing Yuhuatian's body and body.
If you can look inside, you will find that Yuhuatian's body is full of energy and blood, his skin is like jade, his bones are tough, and even his meridians have been widened a lot. His martial arts foundation is extremely strong, even compared to that of a great master of martial arts. Not to mention giving in too much.
The Sunflower Collection was originally a martial art that was extremely strong and extremely yang, but its flaws were also very obvious, because the extremely strong and yang true energy would greatly arouse the desires in the body, and if you were not careful, you would burn yourself and go out of control. If one becomes possessed by a demon and explodes and dies, the correct way to practice is to follow the path of extreme yang and yin, so only eunuchs can practice.
If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace.
But the effort is directly proportional to the gain. Although the symbol of being a man has been lost, since the palace, the cultivation speed has been extremely fast, and the Sunflower Qi cultivated by taking the path of extreme yang and yin is not only powerful, but also very destructive. , far beyond ordinary martial arts skills.
This can be seen from the previous duels with Zhao Huaian and Liu Xi.
They are both at the master level, but Zhao Huaian has taken a wild path. Most of his strength is based on his swordsmanship. He is no match for Yu Huatian in terms of internal strength. Moreover, the swordsmanship in the second half of the Sunflower Book is also very exquisite. Zhao Huaian couldn't match him, so he was defeated so quickly. He died under Yuhuatian's sword in just a few dozen moves.
As for Liu Xi, he majored in the 'absorption method', but his skills were only average.
However, the unreasonable martial arts technique of 'absorbing energy' is too perverted. It can not only absorb other people's internal energy, but also absorb other people's essence and martial arts. It just restrains Yuhuatian's sunflower energy. If Yuhuatian is not basic, He is powerful and sticks to his Dantian. If Liu Xi can't absorb his energy, the result is really hard to say.
However, at that time, the 'Absorbing Gong Technique' also affected the movement of Yuhuatian's Qi, so he had no choice but to give up using Qi and instead use the 72-way sword technique of the Sunflower Book to fight against the enemy, and finally defeated Liu Xi. Killed by the sword.
Thinking of this, Yu Huatian couldn't help but think of another person who also practiced the 'absorption method' - Tiedan Shenhou, Zhu Wuwu!
"This Liu Xi's internal strength is very complex. He should have practiced the 'Absorbing Power' not long ago, and he is only in the early stage of becoming a master, but his strength is already so strong. He also practices the 'Absorbing Power' and has already reached the level of master." At the peak of Zhu Wuli’s life, how terrifying will his strength be?”
Yu Huatian murmured in a low voice, his expression a little solemn.
After several days of seclusion, he has successfully transformed all the true energy of the Sunflower Book, and his internal strength has reached the peak of the Grandmaster. However, if he faces Zhu Yiyi, who is also at the Grandmaster's peak, he still may not have much chance of winning.
Because within the same realm, there are strong and weak strengths, and one cannot simply generalize based on the realm of internal strength.
Not to mention other things, according to the memories left by his predecessor, Yu Huatian had heard that Xie Xiaofeng, the sword god who ranked fifth among the top ten swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty, once defeated the great master with his super strong swordsmanship. At that time , he is only at the master level.
As for the brave god Hou Zhuwu, his record is also terrible.
Twenty years ago, he and his sworn brother, the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong, obtained the inheritance of Tianchi Weixia. They relied on the "absorption method" to travel through the martial arts world. In the battle of Taihu Lake, he absorbed 108 martial arts masters. With his own martial arts skills, he later defeated Gu Santong by trickery and imprisoned him in the heavenly prison. This became a martial arts myth of the year and established his status as the Ming God of War in one fell swoop.
Now it has been settling for another twenty years. During this period, no one knows how many people's skills he has absorbed. It is not even certain that he may have secretly broken through to become a great master.
To take a step back, even if he is indeed the peak master as the rumors say, his actual combat power is definitely far superior to that of a martial artist of the same level, not to mention that his 'absorbing power' can restrain most of the world's martial arts secrets.
So even though Yu Huatian has now reached the peak of Grandmaster, he is still not sure that he can defeat this iron-gallant god.
"Take your time, haste makes waste..."
After pondering for a moment, Yuhuatian shook his head and stopped thinking about it for the time being.
Although he is not confident against Zhu Wuyi now, it does not mean that he will not be his opponent in the future.
He has a system to help him, and as long as he is given enough time, one day he can kill Zhu Wuwu, fulfill his ambition, and become the first person in the Ming Dynasty!
Walking out of the quiet room, the gray sky made De Yuhuatian frown slightly, and the good mood that had just broken through was somewhat affected.
But today is the day set to set off to the northwest desert, and it is impossible to change the itinerary just because of rain.
Shaking his head, Yu Hua Tian Tian went straight to Xichang Yamen.
…
At this time, the lobby of Xichang Yamen was already overcrowded.
Ma Jinliang, the first stall owner of Xichang, Ding Xiu, the second stall owner, and Zhao Tong, the green-faced killer, stood in front. Next to them was a young man wearing a green python robe and holding a pair of meteor hammers in his hands.
This person is Zheng Yuan, the boss who transferred from Dongchang. He is in the late stage of Xiantian and his skills are not weak. This time he heard that Yuhuatian was going to go on a mission. In order to make contributions as soon as possible, he also asked for orders to go together.
Behind the four people, there were six more people standing, all wearing the same Feiyu suit, except for the weapons on their bodies.
One person holds a large royal saber, one person has a sword, one person has a broad nine-ring mountain knife, and the other three have embroidered spring knives.
These six people are the six of the thirteen Taibao in Beizhen Fusi, namely the second Taibao Li Jiang, the third Taibao Qian Chaofeng, the eighth Taibao Huang Chihu, the ninth Taibao Xiao Ce, the eleventh Taibao Jiang Yifan and the thirteenth Taibao Lu Wenzhao .
Except for Jing Tianluo, the sixth Taibao who was killed by Ma Jinliang, and the other six Thousand House Taibao who were out on business, the remaining six people, after being approached by Xichang, eventually obeyed the orders and came to Xichang to gather. , went on a mission with Xichang.
But at this time, in addition to the second Taibao Li Jiang and the ninth Taibao Xiao Ce, the third Taibao Qian Chaofeng, the eighth Taibao Huang Chihu, and the eleventh Taibao Jiang Yifan all looked unhappy. Apparently, they were not so cooperative when the West Factory came to visit them. , but had to come under pressure.
As for the Thirteenth Taibao Lu Wenzhao, he was standing quietly at the back with no visible expression.
Ma Jinliang and others ignored them and just stood in front, waiting quietly.
"Tap-ta-"
After a while, with the sound of crisp footsteps, Yu Huatian, wearing a silver python robe and a stern expression, strode in.
Everyone was immediately shocked.
"See the Overlord!"
Ma Jinliang and four others stepped forward to salute without hesitation.
The six thousand households in the Bei Division hesitated for a moment, and then they all leaned forward and saluted: "I see you for your humble position, sir!"
When lower officials meet their superiors, they all call themselves humble. This is the rule of Jinyiwei, but it was still applied to Yu Huatian honestly at this time. Obviously, the rules set by Ma Jinliang and others in the past few days have worked.
Yu Huatian didn't say much, strode forward, then turned around, glanced around the people in the hall, and nodded slightly.
Including Ma Jinliang, there are nine innates in total, which is not bad.
But what happened to the rest?
Yu Huatian turned his attention to the fat man in front of Lu Wenzhao and asked, "Who are you from Beisi?"
The man immediately stepped forward, straightened his chest, raised his hands and said, "Master Qi, the humble second eunuch of the Northern Division, Li Jiang!"
Yu Huatian frowned and took a closer look. After confirming that Li Jiang was just an ordinary person, he narrowed his eyes and said, "With your strength, how did you become a Beisi Qianhu?"
"this……"
Li Jiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and rubbed his fat palms together, not knowing how to reply.
"snort!"
Qian Chaofeng, the third Taibao holding a nine-ring sword next to him, snorted coldly, full of disdain.
The other people also cast disdainful glances.
Seeing this, Yu Huatian immediately understood what was going on. If nothing else happened, he should be a related household. This kind of thing is very common in Jinyiwei.
Yu Huatian said calmly: "I don't care how you become a thousand households, just don't miss my plan, otherwise I will cut off your fat body with one knife. With your body shape, you should Can make a lot of cuts."
Li Jiang's small eyes suddenly widened, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, absolutely not. Please rest assured, sir. Although I don't have martial arts in my humble position, I still have a few people with good martial arts under my command."
"It better be so."
Yuhuatian said, then looked at the other five thousand households: "And you, no matter whether you came willingly or not, but since you are here, it is best for me to put away other thoughts and concentrate on work."
"During the mission, if anyone dares to violate the rules and hold back Xichang, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."
Everyone's heart trembled, and they raised their hands at the same time: "I humbly obey my orders."
Yuhuatian nodded, then waved his hand and strode outside.
"Set off!"
------
Two chapters in one.
I divided them into chapters not according to the number of words, but according to the plot. If some chapters were divided into chapters, the reading experience would not be good if they were developed separately, so they were combined together with the same number of words.
