Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 185 Family and state affairs, right or wrong

Orochi?

This name is no stranger to Su Yuan, he has seen this name in many literary works before traveling.

For example, in movies, TV dramas, comics and animations, there are all kinds of stuff with this name.There are real monsters and serpents, there are also legends that are only for belief, and there are unparalleled warriors in the game.

Seeing the girl's solemn expression, Su Yuan knew that the Yamata no Orochi that she mentioned in her mouth should be a bad thing.

"I heard it's a big snake monster with eight heads?" Su Yuan speculated.

Shenqianle Reimu shook his head: "No, it's a monster, but it doesn't have eight heads. 'Baqi' is the name it gave itself."

"..."

Okay, the Yamata no Orochi in the emotional world is such a setting.

"Then what happened to the Yamata no Orochi, did it cause trouble in Dongwa?"

"Well. Many years ago, Yamata no Orochi caused chaos and killed many people. The great witch, the ancestor of the Shenqianle clan, joined forces with the Daming Palace and the people to seal it and let it fall into a deep sleep."

"Why don't you just kill it? Keep it for the New Year?"

"...It is very difficult to kill, it can only be sealed."

Seeing the girl's strange expression, Su Yuan hesitated to speak, thinking that there might be something hidden in it.

He kept silent and continued to listen, knowing that there must be a follow-up to this matter.Otherwise, the girl would not mention it.

Shenqianle Reimu sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "Yachi Orochi is very cunning. Before being sealed, he created descendants, called the 'Orochi Clan'. These descendants are lurking among the common people. Although my ancestors searched A batch came out, but there were still fish that slipped through the net.”

"Now, the Orochi clan reappeared after several years of dormancy. They used their 'ninja' identities as a cover to collude with the Shanggong shogunate. The Shanggong family may not know it yet. If they knew the identities of these ninjas, they would be shocked."

"Now, they cooperate to control the power of Dongwa. If no one stops it, whether it is the Shanggong family who controls Dongwa, or the Orochi family destroys the seal to wake up Baqi, it will cause a huge disaster to Dongwa."

Shenqianle Lingmeng talked a lot, her throat was a little thirsty, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The tea is jasmine, and the faint aroma is very pleasant. She took another two sips before putting down the teacup and looking at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan showed a thoughtful look on his face, digesting what she said.

After a while, he asked: "That being the case, why didn't you inform the Shanggong Shogunate of those ninja's Orochi clan status? The awakening of the Orochi is not a good thing for the Shanggong Shogunate, right? Tell them that it is not good for them to break up their cooperation and kill each other." ."

Shenqianle Lingmeng shook his head: "I'm afraid this will not work. The Shanggong shogunate has always been hostile to our witch clan, and now they are hunting our clan members across the country. If we show up, I'm afraid they will kill them immediately, not There is a chance to speak. Orochi will definitely not let us have the opportunity to tell the truth."

She spoke very earnestly, hoping that Su Yuan could believe it.But Su Yuan's expression was very flat, and he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

From Su Yuan's point of view, this matter actually has little to do with him. He doesn't care about the mess of the witch family, the Orochi family, and the daimyo shogunate.

If there is only one thing that worries him a little bit, it is this Yamata no Orochi.If it really exists, then apart from martial arts, even monsters really exist in this world.

This is still big news. Su Yuan traveled from the northern Xinjiang to the capital and traveled through the four states, but he has never seen any monsters.

It doesn't matter if you really want to take it seriously. In front of steel guns and iron cannons, any monsters are useless. If they really want to emerge, it is just a matter of a salvo.

For this reason, he doesn't care whether he believes in what Shen Qianle Lingmeng said, but through this conversation, he can learn a little more about Dongwa.

"Please help Prince Su, otherwise many people will die..." Shen Qianle Lingmeng stood up and bowed deeply to Su Yuan at ninety degrees.

"Actually, you don't have to do this." Su Yuan said, "The enemy you mentioned is also the enemy of our Bei'an army. Even if the Shanggong shogunate and ninjas are not helping you, the Bei'an army will get rid of them."

"So we can't talk about whether we can help or not. Whether you come to deliver the letter or not, the Bei'an Army will enter the East Japan and establish a new order."

Shenqianle Lingmeng was startled, and straightened up with a face full of surprise.What this means is...

She and Su Yuan's eyes met, and they immediately understood.

She murmured: "Your Majesty Su, did you intend to invade the Eastern Japanese..."

"You can use the word 'aggression'. But here I use 'liberation'. Rescue the kind-hearted people living in a difficult life at the bottom from the evil shogunate, daimyo, etc."

Su Yuan didn't say it was all ordinary people, after all, some fanatical supporters were as sinful as those in the shogunate.Without their support, the shogun would not be able to act recklessly.

Shenqianle Lingmeng was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to react.

She sorted out her thoughts, and the purpose of her visit was to invite Bei'an Army as foreign aid to defeat the ambitions of the Orochi Clan and Shanggong Shogunate.

As a result, Su Yuan now clearly told him that the Bei'an Army had originally planned to attack Dongwa, not only attacking, but also occupying.

Su Yuandao: "If you Shenqianle clan are willing to help me, then I will seriously consider your appeal in the future."

The meaning of these words is very clear.

If Shenqianle helps Su Yuan, then in the future, he will still have a certain right to speak about Dongwo, and Su Yuan will listen.If you don't help, you will naturally be like other Eastern Japanese people in the future, and you can only follow orders.

This made her entangled. She is a great witch, but she is also an Eastern Japanese.These two identities contradict each other at this moment.

In order to fulfill her duties as a witch, she needs the strength of the Beian Army.But as an Eastern Japanese, "bringing foreign troops into the country" like this...

Su Yuan could see that she was conflicted in her heart, and actually had a somewhat appreciative attitude towards her.

Because only a conscientious person would be entangled in this kind of matter.If he was a selfish person, he would have agreed to Su Yuan long ago in order to gain his future status from the consideration of personal interests.

Now Shenqianle Lingmeng is in entanglement, which shows that she does not value personal interests, but the interests of the common people and even the entire country.

Su Yuan said at this time: "Well, you don't have to rush to make a decision. If you are not in a hurry to go back, why don't you stay in the capital for a few days? Walk around in the capital, maybe you can get the answer."

Shenqianle Lingmeng thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will disturb you for a few more days."

She made sufficient arrangements before she came, and it's okay to go back a few days later.And she really wanted to do what Su Yuan said, take a walk around the capital, take a look, and get to know her better.

Su Yuan arranged for her an interpreter, and arranged for Ju Jian to follow her, acting as a tour guide on the one hand and a monitoring role on the other.

He couldn't just assume that she was harmless just because he had a good first impression of the girl when he met her.For the sake of prudence, it is better to send reliable people to follow.

Shen Qianle Lingmeng didn't object. After she left, Shen Lian came in from the outside and waited for Su Yuan's orders.

"Shen Lian, go find someone who knows about Dongwa. Aren't there many Dongwa businessmen in the city? You can start with them and find out some information about the Shenqianle clan, Yamata no Orochi, etc."

"My subordinate understands."

"Also, I have some military dogs here. Go back and put some at your place, and some at the yamen. If Jin Yiwei and the policemen go out and need to track the smell, they can be brought with them, which can help a lot."

"Yes."

……

The news that Zhao Yun captured Qinzhou quickly spread throughout the south and north of the country.

This first caused a sensation in the Jianghu circle.

The Bai Su Demon Cult, which had been a disaster for decades, was uprooted by the Bei'an army in less than half a month.The left and right guardians and thousands of sect members were all wiped out, and the sect master disappeared.

This has a great impact on the various sects in the world, even the famous sects are secretly shocked.

This time is different from the Su Yuan Mie Yunshan faction.The Yunshan sect is only a middle-level sect, with only a few hundred disciples, and there is a gap between them and the top gates in the world... Now this Bai Su sect is a real big demon sect, and it will be extinct even if it is said to be extinct.

Thousands of Demon Sect disciples did not stir up any splashes, which is enough to prove how powerful and terrifying the Bei'an Army is.

And according to the rumors of the Jianghu masters who participated in this operation, the Bei'an Army had a firearm called "Firebolt", which was so powerful that it could blast and kill people tens of meters away!

No less than a thousand soldiers were equipped with this firearm, and it is said that there are more such firearms under study.Before long, tens of thousands of firecrackers will appear.

At that time... martial arts disciples with average martial arts will almost become a display in the face of this firecracker.

After all, this firecracker can be used by anyone, unlike some hidden weapons, although powerful, not everyone can use it.

For example, the Tang Sect is famous for its hidden weapons, there are indeed some powerful hidden weapons in its sect, but to use them, special techniques are required.If you don't practice these techniques for ten or eight years, you won't be able to practice them well.

How many people can do this hard work?And an ignorant child can fire a gun with a firecracker...

After returning to their respective sects, the warriors from the Jiangbei states who participated in this operation were almost all doing one thing:

Advise the elders and sect masters of the sect to follow the example of the sects in Mozhou and join the Bei'an army.

They didn't have this idea before, but this time they fought together with the Bei'an Army, and only then did they know what order and prohibition are, and what it is to be an elite soldier.

Coupled with the large-scale use of firearms, they all understand that the decline of Jianghu Zongmen is inevitable in the future!
Then, under this trend, whoever can recognize the reality as soon as possible and join the Bei'an Army will be able to seize the opportunity.

Although the Bei'an Army is large, it has strict discipline, and promotion can only be based on military merit.Join now, and you can also make meritorious service in future wars.

Otherwise, how many battles will there be after the Bei'an army goes down to the south of the Yangtze River and unifies the south of the Yangtze River?At that time, military merit must be accumulated slowly, and it is not easy to get promoted.

Many people in the rivers and lakes with active brains can't wait to join the Bei'an Army as soon as possible to grab a good position.Some elders of the sect disagreed, and even quit the sect directly and chose to join the Bei'an Army.

This made some older elders blow their beards and stare with anger—the disciples who had been trained by the Zongmen for so many years rebelled just because they participated in a crusade against the Demon Sect in cooperation with the Bei'an Army?
So Bei'an Army is really that good?So attractive?

Not only did Jiangbei Jianghu react greatly, but the sects in Jiangnan were also deeply shocked.

The land is divided into north and south, but the rivers and lakes are not divided into north and south, they are all one.For example, the martial arts conference is held in Jiangnan this time, and the next one in Jiangbei, not just in one place.

All the sects in Jiangbei wanted to join the Bei'an Army, which made the Jiangnan sects panic.After they heard about the various benefits, some were moved to join.

It's just that the sect is in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's impossible to migrate in order to join the Bei'an army, so we can only wait for the Bei'an army to come over like some ordinary people.

People in Jianghu have almost no doubts and objections about this.No matter what they said, most sects already felt in their hearts that it was only a matter of time before the Bei'an army crossed the river.

With such a trend in the rivers and lakes, some wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River who raise Jianghu thugs will naturally know.They were deeply disturbed. On the one hand, they increased the intensity of sending intelligence to the north, and on the other hand, they were also studying the way out.

Some of the wealthy families even made third-hand preparations, contacting the north first-hand, wanting to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, so that they will not be liquidated in the future;

The second hand continued to let the children enter the Southern Zhou court as officials.If Ziwei star falls one day and Nan Zhou rises again, with these children around, their family will get better and better.

The third hand is to contact some overseas western countries and small countries, and make preparations for overseas transfer.In case the Bei'an Army came over in the future, and Su Yuan still refused to write off the previous accounts, and wanted to overturn the old accounts, then they had no choice but to go abroad.

There is no way, the lives and crimes in the hands of any powerful family are innumerable, and if they really want to turn over the old scores, none of them can get away.

About this matter, before Lu Wuyou asked Su Yuan, did he really not have a good and rich family?

Su Yuan laughed and translated a sentence of Confucius to him.

The original words of Confucius are: "If the world has the way, you will see it, and if there is no way, you will hide. If the country has the way, it will be shameful if it is poor and low; if the country has no way, it will be shameful if it is rich and noble."

Translated, it is roughly: If there is a way in the world, one will come out to be an official, and if there is no way, one will live in seclusion.It is a disgrace to oneself to govern the country properly but to be poor.It is a disgrace to oneself that the country is governed in a dishonest way, yet it is rich and powerful.

That is to say, in a corrupt and dark dynasty, there is no one who can be an official or a rich man without a black heart.

why?Because if you are a rich man who is not black-hearted, then you will not be able to keep your wealth, and it will have been taken away by the alliance of corrupt officials and rich families.

Having said this, Lu Wuyou understood what Su Yuan meant.There is no good person who can become a high-ranking official in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as you look over old accounts, you will always find out a lot of dark things.

At present, none of these wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River is not black-hearted, and no one is not worried about this.Those who are capable have already started planning to escape to foreign countries.Regardless of whether you run or not in the end, there is always a way out.

It's just that they probably haven't imagined that Su Yuan's fleet is rapidly taking shape...

At night, He Zhongping, the prime minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, was sleeping on the bed at home.

While staring in a daze, he seemed to hear a slight sound from the door, and thought it was his wife for a moment, he frowned and scolded: "Didn't you just say, don't disturb me?"

No one answered, he opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw a young man standing at the head of the bed, looking down at him with a smile on his face.

"Uh!"

He Zhongping let out an exclamation, turned over and stood up.The young man lightly waved the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Master He, I'm sorry for bothering you late at night."
