In the hall, looking at the arrogant and domineering figure in the center, Zheng He and the other two looked horrified.
They never thought that Yuhuatian's ambition would be so great!
They were originally worried that Yuhuatian would covet the throne and rebel.
Because Yuhuatian's strength has grown so fast at this moment that it is beyond their control, and he has countless masters under his command. He also controls the three major power organizations of the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei. Once Yuhuatian rebels, no one will be able to stop him.
By then, the Ming Dynasty will collapse, right before our eyes!
But the two of them didn't expect that Yuhuatian's target would be the major dynasties surrounding the Ming Dynasty, and even the entire China!
With such lofty ambitions, how could he value a small place like the Ming Dynasty?
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
For a long time, Zheng He looked at Yuhuatian and spoke word by word.
Yuhuatian nodded: "Of course I know what I'm talking about, and I understand better what the two seniors are worried about."
With that said, Yuhuatian turned to look at the dim sky outside the hall, and said slowly:
"The six dynasties of China each have their own characteristics. The Han Dynasty's iron cavalry is invincible; the Sui Dynasty has many soldiers and generals; the Song Dynasty is rich in all corners of the world; the Yuan Dynasty controls millions of foreign races; the firearms of the Ming and Qing Dynasties shock China."
"Strictly speaking, among the six great dynasties, my Ming Dynasty is not very powerful."
"But if you don't try, how will you know whether it will succeed?"
"The Qin State back then was called a barbarian in the west. Who among the six countries could respect the horse-raising slaves of the Zhou royal family?"
"But what's the result?"
A rare look of reverence appeared in Yuhuatian's eyes, and his voice became more heroic and domineering:
"The King of Qin swept Liuhe! Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi were successively destroyed by Qin's iron cavalry. The world was unified, the King of Qin proclaimed himself the emperor, and all the states of China respected each other!"
"If Da Qin could do it back then, why can't I, Ming Dynasty?!"
Yuhuatian looked at Zheng He and the two of them, his eyes were blazing, and his voice was loud and deafening.
Zheng He and Xu Ruowu both fell silent.
Immediately, Zheng He sighed and said: "This China is not as simple as you think. There are masters from all countries, and the martial arts of each country are booming. The martial arts are clearly divided and unanimously xenophobic. You want to destroy other dynasties, let alone the imperial courts of various countries. If you don’t agree, martial arts in various countries will fight to the death. If you do this, you are equivalent to making an enemy of the entire Chinese martial arts."
Yuhuatian snorted coldly: "So what if we are enemies of the world?"
"Although I, Yu Huatian, am incomplete, I have the ambition to reach the top. One day, I will definitely repeat the feats of the First Emperor, unify China, and recreate the majesty of the ancient Qin Dynasty!"
Zheng He wanted to say something else, but Xu Ruowu suddenly stopped him and shook his head.
Ignoring Zheng He's doubtful gaze, Xu Ruowu looked at Yuhuatian and said calmly: "Since you want to do it, then go ahead and do it. No matter what, I, Daming, will always support you."
"Thank you for your support, senior."
Yu Huatian handed over his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, these two people in front of them are always the guardians of the Ming Dynasty.
He wanted to use the Ming Dynasty as the cornerstone to unify China and restore the glory of the ancient Qin Dynasty, but he could never get around Zheng He and Xu Ruowu.
Yuhuatian doesn't ask the two to support him, as long as they don't object.
Because he really didn't want to be on the opposite side of these two men unless he had to.
This is also the main reason why he came here today.
But now, if nothing can support it, this is the best outcome.
Next, Yuhuatian said nothing more. After discussing some defense matters in the capital with the two of them, he left.
But before leaving, Xu Ruowu suddenly reminded him:
"By the way, Mr. Sun asked me to tell you that the black-clothed celestial being from Ming Dynasty who came to me last time with that Jue Yuan Bald Donkey was named Chai Yuguan. In the last battle, he took advantage of Mr. Sun to kill that Jue Yuan. He escaped but did not die. This person is very strong. If you leave the capital, Mr. Sun will no longer be able to protect you. You have to be more careful."
'Happy King' Chai Yuguan, the father of 'Ghost Palace Master' Bai Feifei, and the father-in-law of 'Canglang Invincible' famous hero Shen Lang?
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded and said:
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me, I will be careful."
After saying that, Yuhuatian turned and left.
Zheng He and the others went out and watched Yu Huatian leave the back mountain.
Looking at Yuhuatian's arrogant back, Zheng He suddenly looked at Xu Ruowu and frowned: "He has such great ambitions. It's fine if you don't stop him. Why do you still support him?"
Xu Ruowu looked at Zheng He: "Do you think you can stop what he wants to do?"
Hearing this, Zheng He frowned.
Xu Ruowu sighed in a low voice and said: "He came here today just to get rid of us two old people who are getting in the way so that he has no worries."
"Do you think he is negotiating with us?"
Xu Ruowu shook his head: "No! He was just informing us!"
Zheng He's eyes darkened: "If we object, will he still dare to take action against us?"
"Why not?"
Xu Ruowu looked at Zheng He: "With his current strength, even if you and I come together, are we sure we can take him down?"
Hearing this, Zheng He fell silent.
"Sometimes it's better to be decent ourselves. If we don't, he will help us be decent."
Xu Ruowu shook his head and said: "You are hundreds of years old, so it is better to save some face for yourself."
"Besides, with such a martial arts genius, there is no need to force him to become our enemy."
"Since he wants to do it, let him try it."
"As he said, if you don't try it, how will you know whether it can be done?"
After saying that, Xu Ruowu sighed again, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Zheng He stood at the door, looking at the figure getting further and further away in the distance, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
After leaving Houshan, Yuhuatian went straight back to Xichang.
But as soon as he stepped into the gate of Xichang, he saw an unexpected person waiting at the yamen gate.
There was a hint of amusement in the corner of Yu Huatian's mouth, and he stepped forward and said, "The sun has risen to the west, and Mr. Yuan would actually come to this dirty place like this?"
This man in official uniform is clearly the Minister of War, Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan also had a military background in his early years, and later became an official in the court. He regarded himself as noble and looked down on the people of the East and West Second Factory. He called the officials of the East and West Second Factory eunuchs, and called the East and West Second Factory a place of filth. He had done so many times. Impeachment of Yuhuatian in the DPRK.
If it weren't for the fact that this person had extraordinary strength and ability, and was truly upright and had never done anything illegal or disciplinary, Yuhuatian would have found a way to get rid of him long ago.
But just because you don't kill him doesn't mean you like him.
So now that Yuan Chonghuan came to visit, Yuhuatian was quite surprised.
"I've met Mr. Yu."
Yuan Chonghuan had been waiting for who knows how long. He was about to fall asleep leaning against the pillar at the door. He suddenly woke up when he heard a sound and quickly saluted Yuhuatian.
Next to him, there was a teenage boy.
The boy looks like a boy with fine bones and delicate features. His eyeballs move from time to time, showing a hint of cunning. He must have a naughty temperament.
However, unlike Yuan Chonghuan, when the boy saw Yuhuatian arriving, he immediately stared at Yuhuatian. There was no fear in his eyes, but instead he was very passionate and respectful.
Yu Huatian glanced at the boy, ignored him, waved his hand towards Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Master Yuan, please come in and talk."
With that said, Yu Hua Tian Tian walked straight into the Yamen.
After a while, the two sat down in the Yamen.
Yu Huatian did not play riddles, but looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said calmly: "Master Yuan, tell me, why are you here with me?"
Yuan Chonghuan looked embarrassed, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak, but after hesitating for a moment, he stood up, raised his hands and said:
"To be honest, Lord Yu, I am here because I am a dog."
With that said, he pulled the boy next to him and said to Yuhuatian:
"Quinzi has a naughty temperament. He doesn't like studying, but likes to practice martial arts. After hearing that Master Yu showed great power in the palace and wiped out hundreds of Jianghu rebels in one fell swoop, Quanzi has been pestering me and wanted to practice martial arts with Master Yu."
"This is my only son, and I can't defeat him, so I came here shamelessly. I hope Lord Yu, for the sake of being a minister in the same court, can teach Quanzi a few tricks to make him give up."
"Want to practice martial arts with me?" Yu Huatian chuckled and refused without thinking.
But suddenly, he seemed to remember something, looked at the boy and asked, "What's his name?"
Before Yuan Chonghuan could speak this time, the boy said first, "My name is Yuan Chengzhi."
As he spoke, Yuan Chengzhi imitated an adult, knelt down on one knee towards Yuhuatian, raised his hands in salute, and said in a childish but firm voice:
"Please take me in, Lord Factory!"
Yuan Chengzhi? !
Yu Huatian's heart was slightly shaken. No wonder this boy made him feel extraordinary.
It turns out that he is also a son of luck, the male protagonist of 'Blue Blood Sword'.
With his eyes narrowed slightly, Yu Huatian looked at Yuan Chengzhi and asked, "Why do you want to practice martial arts?"
Yuan Chengzhi said without hesitation: "I want to be a hero and eliminate violence and bring peace to the people!"
Yuhuatian looked calm: "What if I am the 'violent' you mentioned?"
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's expression changed and he looked at Yuan Chengzhi, wanting to speak, but looking at Yu Huatian's oppressive gaze, he did not dare to speak.
Yuan Chengzhi didn't notice his father's gaze. When he heard what Yu Huatian said, he hesitated and said: "Although they said that Mr. Factory has killed many people, Mr. Factory only killed those who deserved to be killed. Those If people want to rebel, they are the bad guys. By killing them, Mr. Factory Gong is doing harm to the people, so Mr. Factory Gong is not a bad person."
Yuhuatian was noncommittal: "But what if one day I become a bad guy? Will you kill me for the sake of those good people?"
"No." Yuan Chengzhi shook his head, then thought about it, and then said: "Mr. Factory Gong is not a bad person... In short, I will never let others hurt Mr. Factory."
Hearing this, Yuhuatian looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Go back, I will accept this one."
When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly knelt down and saluted: "Disciple, see Master!"
Seeing this scene, for some reason, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly regretted coming to Xichang.
But now the deal was done, and it was too late for him to regret it. He could only sigh secretly, pulled Yuan Chengzhi aside and explained earnestly for a long time, then turned around and saluted Yuhuatian, saying: "In the future, the dog will have Lord Laoyu, but... There is one more thing, I hope Master Yu can fulfill it."
"After all, I only have one son, so..."
Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
But Yuhuatian understood what he meant and said calmly: "Don't worry, he doesn't need to purify himself."
"Thank you, Master Yu."
Yuan Chonghuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few words of greeting, he said goodbye and left.
In the house, Yu Huatian looked at Yuan Chengzhi who was looking excited below and asked, "What do you want to learn?"
Yuan Chengzhi immediately said: "I want to learn swordsmanship!"
sword!
Yuhuatian was silent for a moment and nodded.
…
…
Boom, boom, boom——
The evening drums and morning bells ring through the streets and alleys of Kyoto, symbolizing the beginning of a new day.
Thousands of streets and lanes were filled with smoke rising from the morning bell, and the originally quiet city became bustling and lively.
At the same time, at the entrance of the West Factory.
A dense crowd of Xichang Fanzi and Jinyiwei gathered together, almost blocking the entire street.
In front of the team, several stalls in Xichang and thousands of households in Jinyiwei stood solemnly with solemn expressions.
Ye Gucheng, Lei Hong, Zhan Yu, Lian Chengbi, Murong Qiudi and others were also standing beside the crowd, their aura was deep and powerful.
Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, and Tan Luzi, the deputy governor of the West Factory, respectfully stood at the door, waiting for Yuhuatian to arrive.
The team was silent except for the occasional neighing of war horses and the sound of horse hooves pawing the ground.
There was a sense of solemnity in the field!
"Tap..."
Not long after, following the sound of footsteps, Yu Huatian walked out of the mansion wearing a silver python robe and a jade pendant hanging on his waist. He looked graceful, aloof and domineering.
But instead of just one person, there were three.
To the left and right of Yuhuatian, there were two teenage children, one boy and one girl.
The boy was Yuan Chengzhi, wearing a black robe, with long hair tied behind his head, and holding a long sword in his hand.
This sword is three fingers wide and about four feet long. It is almost as tall as Yuan Chengzhi. The sword body is light red with a hot power on it.
This sword is Yan Nantian's accessory sword and is called Chunyang Wuji Sword.
After Yan Nantian died, the sword became Yu Huatian's trophy, and Yu Huatian passed it to Yuan Chengzhi last night.
The girl is pretty and smart, with cute big eyes. She also holds a sword in her hand.
The shape of this sword is very strange. The whole sword looks like a coiled snake. The snake's tail is hooked into the hilt, the snake's head is the tip of the sword, and the snake's tongue stretches out and bifurcates, so the sword tip has two forks.
The girl's name is Wen Qingqing, the daughter of Xia Xueyi and Wen Yi.
Xia Xueyi died in the battle at Tianning Temple. Afterwards, Yu Huatian personally visited Wen Yi and took the mother and daughter to live in the capital. He secretly sent people to protect them to ensure that the mother and daughter had no worries about food and clothing.
But after accepting Yuan Chengzhi as his disciple last night, Yu Huatian suddenly had a whim. Based on the idea of "teaching one is also teaching, teaching two is also teaching", after asking Wen Yi's opinion, he also accepted Wen Qingqing as his disciple, and took him with him. Teach around you.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Xia Xueyi.
Seeing Yu Huatian appear, everyone was immediately shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"See the Overlord!"
Then, everyone's eyes swept over Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing, feeling a little confused.
But when they saw the sword in Wen Qingqing's hand, everyone was shocked.
Golden snake sword!
Everyone vaguely understood Wen Qingqing's identity, and they also had some guesses about Yuan Chengzhi's identity.
The governor has accepted a disciple?
Yu Huatian didn't say much. He glanced around the venue and frowned: "Where is Yan Shisan?"
Yan Shisan hasn’t come yet?
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Tan Luzi stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master Governor, Hero Yan has been in seclusion since the battle in the capital. He should be preparing to sprint to the realm of the Grand Master."
Yan Shisan is about to break through?
Hearing this, Yuhuatian was a little surprised.
Yan Shisan has been following him for a long time, but as he has more and more masters under his command, Yan Shisan has gradually fallen from being the number one master under him at the beginning.
Now, it can no longer even be ranked in the top five.
Yuhuatian never said anything about this, but Yan Shisan must have felt the pressure, so after the battle in the capital, he retreated and broke through.
Thinking of this, Yuhuatian didn't say much, looked at the crowd and said:
"Then ignore him and let's go."
"As you command!"
Everyone saluted, then got on their horses, turned around, and rushed towards the east of the city.
Because Shanhaiguan is in the northeast of Ming Dynasty.
Yuhuatian also took Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing on the horse, then glanced at Cao Zhengchun and Tan Luzi at the door, and said: "The capital will be left to you. If there is anything you can't handle, go to the mountain behind the palace to find Zheng Laohe The Mighty King.”
During this expedition, Yuhuatian planned to let the East Factory stay in the capital, while Tan Luzi continued to stay in the West Factory, cooperating with Cao Zhengchun to jointly handle the government affairs of the East and West Second Factory.
As for the Jinyiwei side, Yu Huatian had already greeted Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei Division.
Lu Bing is a smart man and he probably won't do anything stupid.
"As you command!"
Cao Zhengchun and Tan Luzi saluted quickly.
Yuhuatian nodded, said nothing more, turned around on his horse, and headed towards the east.
Target, Shanhaiguan!
…
Seeing the densely packed troops leaving the capital, the people in the city immediately began to discuss whether Xichang and Jinyiwei could help the army repel the Qing army and regain Shanhaiguan.
Among the crowd, Old Man Tianji held his storyteller banner and stood with his granddaughter Sun Xiaohong in the crowd. He watched Xichang and the Jinyiwei team leaving, sighed softly and said:
"Sha Po Lang moves eastward, and there will be another bloody disaster in the east..."
Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue and others were also nearby. After hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Senior, do you think this factory official can repel the Qing army? It is said that the Qing army commander Ao Bai is known as 'the best in Manchuria' "Warrior," his martial arts skills are extremely high, and he has countless masters under his command. Even the ancestor of the Blood Sword, who is known as the "first master of the Qing cult," serves under him!"
"The best warrior in Manchuria? The best cult master in the Qing Dynasty?"
Old Man Tianji chuckled lightly and said: "There are no tigers in the mountains. Monkeys are the only kings. In the martial arts of the Qing Dynasty, there are many who are stronger than them."
After saying that, Old Man Tianji looked at the direction of the team's departure again, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Although Yu Xiaoyou is strong, his temper is too impulsive. I hope he just wants to repel the Qing army and regain Shanhaiguan this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss..."
Old Man Tianji's voice was inaudible, but Lu Xiaofeng was close enough to hear a few words clearly. He rolled his eyes and said, "Senior, are you interested in going to Shanhaiguan to join in the fun?"
Old Man Tianji shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm old and can't stand the trouble, so I won't join in the fun."
When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, she was a little disappointed, but she didn't say much. She grabbed Ximen Chuixue and others next to her and went out of the city to chase after him.
It wasn't until Lu Xiaofeng and others left that Old Tianji shook his head and left the city, heading east.
Sun Xiaohong was confused and asked: "Grandpa, where are we going?"
Old Man Tianji smiled and said: "Go to the Qing Dynasty."
"ah?"
Sun Xiaohong was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Why are we going to Qing Dynasty? I heard that the court there is full of foreigners and they are not allowed to have hair. If we go there, they won't let us cut our hair, right? I don't want to cut my hair. , with only a pigtail, so ugly!”
Old Man Tianji laughed, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, as long as grandpa is here, no one will dare to cut your hair. Besides, not all people over there have braids."
Sun Xiaohong asked curiously: "Why?"
Old Man Tianji explained: "Because the world over there is more chaotic, foreigners are kings, but the people are basically from the Central Plains. There are more people who want to rebel there than in the Ming Dynasty."
"Then the court doesn't care about these people?" Sun Xiaohong asked.
Old Man Tianji smiled and said: "The imperial court has too much to take care of itself now, and besides, it can't take care of so much."
"Oh." Sun Xiaohong nodded seemingly understandingly.
"Let's go!"
As Old Man Tianji spoke, he glanced at the capital city behind him and said with emotion:
"Now in the Ming Dynasty, people are dying and hiding. I'm afraid it will take many years to regain their strength. Let's go over there and meet the masters of the Qing Dynasty's martial arts. By the way, we are also there, waiting for this little friend Yu. Come."
Sun Xiaohong said "Ah": "Will this factory owner also go to the Qing Dynasty?"
Old Man Tianji smiled slightly, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "Yes, even if he is not interested in the martial arts of the Qing Dynasty, he will go east before long..."
"Why did this factory owner definitely go to the east?" Sun Xiaohong was puzzled.
"You will know by then. Not only this little friend, but also many people from all dynasties in China will go there. Some of them may even be in the east..."
As Old Man Tianji spoke, he seemed to recall a terrifying episode, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes subconsciously, and then he shook his head, forcing down the fear in his heart, but his mood suddenly became a little low.
Sun Xiaohong did not notice the change in old man Tianji's mood, but still asked: "Since we are all going to the Qing Dynasty, why don't we go with Daxia Lu and Daxia Ximen?"
Old Man Tianji shook his head and said: "They like to cause trouble too much. There will be a lot of trouble following them. When traveling around the world, you have to learn to keep a low profile."
"Oh, I see..."
As Sun Xiaohong spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Old Man Tianji and said, "Grandpa, you were injured because you were too high-profile back then. That's why you have to keep a low profile now. Am I right?"
Old Man Tianji's mouth twitched: "You're right, don't guess again next time."
The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon.
The sand and dust rose up, facing the rising glow, and finally gradually painted a colorful picture.
But on this scroll, there seems to be only two words:
Jianghu!
