The Book of Heaven

Chapter 216 Chapter [-] The gap is obvious
As a super empire with a vast territory and a large population, the Han Empire is difficult to control by relying solely on the ruling power of the imperial court.

Therefore, from the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the royal family made compromises in many aspects, such as entrusting some kings with different surnames, shrinking the power of the royal family, and even granting privileges to some wealthy noble families.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, some wealthy noble families disappeared for various reasons, and new wealthy noble families also emerged, just like the metabolism of everything in the world.However, in the empire, the five kings with different surnames and some wealthy families with profound backgrounds will never disappear with the passage of time.

On the contrary, these rich noble families will rely on their privileges to strengthen their influence little by little without affecting the rule of the royal family, and at the same time make their families more stable in this empire.

The rise of the Zhuge family originated from Mr. Zhuge Kongming, the wise man who finally became the prime minister of the empire, who founded the Zhuge family but set a dead rule for the family before the temporary.

However, all descendants of Zhuge's family are not allowed to be officials in the court.

The so-called entry into the court, there is an extremely human minister, in other words, Mr. Zhuge Kongming allows his descendants to be a small sesame restaurant in the local area, but he does not allow any descendants to reproduce his glory in the past.This is not Mr. Zhuge Kongming's selfishness, but his protection for future generations.

In the huge and powerful Han Empire, the prime minister is the authority over tens of thousands of people under that one person. It can be said that one order can make tens of thousands of heads fall to the ground, and one government order can make people in a radius of hundreds of miles miserable. Such a loud and prominent position It is definitely not for any incompetent person to sit on.

Zhuge's family only had one Mr. Kong Ming in hundreds of years. If he lay in Mr. Kong Ming's shadow and lived on his laurels, perhaps his descendants would be able to occupy a place in the court, but what Mr. Kong Ming was really worried about was the invisible swords and swords in the court.

In the last dispute between the rivers and lakes, it was the quacks who died, and the last court dispute in the court may be the family copying and extermination of the clan.

It is precisely because of Mr. Kong Ming's vision and foresight that the Zhuge clan, which did not start with force, has been able to thrive in Bashu so far.

Of course, it is not that the Zhuge family has no official power at all. In fact, even in the court, there are still many officials who were born under the Zhuge family. There is attenuation.

Perhaps it was because the Emperor Han understood that the Zhuge family had no martial arts handed down from generation to generation, and Mr. Kong Ming ordered the ban on the road to the court, so he granted some favorable conditions to the Zhuge family.

Bai Feixiang from Nanzhujuli was determined to take off Ma Zheng's head in front of Zhuge Ting and others. He turned back and flew, and his whole body turned into a series of afterimages. With five fingers on his right hand like an eagle's claw, he wanted to take off Ma Zheng's head!
No matter how fast Bai Feixiang was, Ma Zheng's eyes could keep up. In his field of vision, Bai Feixiang's whole body was glowing green, especially the limbs and joints, as well as the blood vessels all over his body!
Ma Zheng's skill is undoubtedly powerful, but it also has its limitations.

In the process of fighting with Li Ping, Ma Zheng found that any part of the green color that suddenly became darker was likely to be a reminder of the opponent's next move, so he could easily clean up Li Ping.

But when this discovery was put on Bai Feixiang, it didn't work out very well.

For example, at this moment, no matter how concentrated Ma Zheng was, Bai Feixiang in his field of vision was still covered with a rich turquoise light.There is almost no difference between each other, so how can Ma Zheng tell the difference?

This is not because of a problem of ability, but because the realm of the observed object has changed.

Just as first-rate warriors have more meridians flowing all over their bodies than second-rate warriors, and even the meridians that cannot be revealed when the realm is not high, will gradually be opened up after entering the first-rate realm and become a channel for inner circulation. From a human point of view, the whole body is like a smooth meridian, and the breath can flow wherever the mind knows it.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of innate warriors that Ma Zheng is completely unable to judge the part where Bai Feixiang is about to make a move based on the strength of the turquoise.

After confirming that his biggest reliance had actually failed, Ma Zheng's expression also became ugly.

In the face of Bai Feixiang who is rushing towards him, Ma Zheng can actually choose to dodge, not to mention completely self-protection, at least it can be delayed for a while.

But now behind Ma Zheng there is Li Ping who has reached a critical juncture.His ability to absorb chalcedony is almost complete, if it is interrupted at this time, the consequences may be unimaginable.

Although Li Ping had joined Ma Zheng's sect not long ago, Ma Zheng was unwilling to betray Li Ping at a critical moment!
"Sigh~"

Bai Feixiang pierced through the air with his sharp fingers, and pierced Ma Zheng's forehead with a series of screaming sounds.

Ma Zheng, who didn't dare to dodge, moved his hands, and the tough iron bamboo stick evolved into a dark green dragon in his hands, rushing towards Bai Feixiang without fear!
In a blink of an eye, the dragon's head collided with the eagle's claw hard, but unexpectedly there was no sound, and Bai Feixiang's figure twisted as if he had no bones, and his right foot actually kicked Ma Zheng backwards and first. neck!

If this kick hits the target, Ma Zheng realizes the reason to be spared!

Fortunately, Ma Zheng's reaction speed was not slow, he retracted his neck and leaned back, just past Bai Feixiang's toes, but before he had the slightest breath, Bai Feixiang's fast-moving right foot should change direction without warning, unexpectedly Hit Ma Zheng's chest with his right heel!

Seeing that he couldn't move in time, Ma Zheng turned his head up to the sky, and his whole body followed Bai Feixiang's heels to press down. At the same time, he drew back the iron bamboo stick and poked hard towards the ground!

Taking advantage of the reaction force from the iron bamboo stick, Ma Zheng kept his feet still while maintaining the posture of the iron bridge, but quickly moved back a bit, only to narrowly avoid the right heel that Bai Feixiang smashed down!

But if Bai Feixiang is poor in skills like this, it would be a bit of a disappointment to the name of a congenital warrior.

Bai Feixiang, whose right foot finally landed on the ground, smiled coldly, and grabbed Ma Zheng's void with his left hand, which immediately made Ma Zheng's whole body stagnate out of thin air. Even the iron bamboo stick had been bent into a huge arc, but Ma Zheng still couldn't move a single bit. !

"Is this the insurmountable gap between innate warriors and first-class warriors?"

At this time, Ma Zheng was finally a little disheartened. He didn't expect that he had worked so hard to break through to the first-class realm, and he still couldn't get any benefits in Bai Feixiang's hands. No wonder many people said that the gap between nature and nurture is just As obvious as the sky and the earth.

Ma Zheng felt that he was at the end of his rope. After Bai Feixiang used that grab, countless innate qi energies wrapped Ma Zheng tightly like an invisible spider web, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't tear it apart. !

Seeing Bai Feixiang getting closer, Ma Zheng let out a breath slowly.He's already ready, isn't it just to die once, it's no big deal!
Just when Bai Feixiang was about to give Ma Zheng the final blow, Zhuge Ting's group suddenly launched an attack on Bai Feixiang.

In terms of martial arts, they may not be able to beat Bai Feixiang if they all fight together, but Zhuge Ting dares to speak loudly in front of an innate warrior, that also has his own confidence.
