Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 217 Tangjiabao (24)

Shuzhou, Tangjiabao.

Tangjiabao is built in a big mountain, and the mountain has been transformed by people from Tangmen for many years, and it has already spread all over the institutions.

Even without all kinds of passwords and codes, if an outsider comes in here, he will soon die in the trap.

This is only the outer fort, and when it comes to the inner fort, it is even more dangerous every step of the way. This is a place where Tangmen's outer disciples cannot pass.Only the disciples of the inner sect and the higher-ups of the Tang sect can pass through unimpeded.

At this moment in Tangmen Inner Fort, a mechanism bird flew through a tall wooden door and entered a hall.

Hanging on the wall of the hall is a huge portrait of a one-eyed old man, Tang Huang, the first castle lord of the Tang Sect.

There is a wicker chair under the portrait, on which sits a serious old man, who is resting with his eyes closed, when he suddenly raises his left hand.

click -

With a crisp sound, his left hand flew out from his wrist, catching the mechanism bird flying in the air, and then quickly retracted the connection between the wrist and the claw, and retracted his hand.

This turned out to be a mechanical fake hand.

Tang Tiansheng tapped the mechanism bird's back lightly with his fingers, and a note fell out of the bird's beak immediately.

The content of the note is only a few words.

"A strong enemy is coming! Killed 35 disciples of the Tang Sect!"

After Tang Tiansheng finished watching, his aura suddenly froze.

"For so many years, no one has dared to provoke me, Tangjiabao! Come!"

He stood up and shouted loudly, several inner disciples rushed in outside the door.

"Send an order to catch that outsider and reward him with ten Tissots."

Several inner disciples' eyes lit up when they heard this, and their hearts were full of longing.

Tiansuo is one of the most advanced hidden weapons in the Tang Sect, its quantity is extremely rare, if used properly, one can kill an innate master.

Such a generous reward is enough to tempt most Tangmen disciples.

"Go and call Tang Ming."

Several disciples retreated, and soon, a man in his early thirties with a thin figure and a handsome face arrived.

"Meet the castle master."

Tang Tiansheng nodded slightly: "Did you ever know about the outside world?"

"I know." Tang Ming said in a hoarse voice, "An outsider entered Shu Prefecture, and first killed eight inspector disciples, and then killed 27 outer disciples."

Disciples of the Tang Sect are divided into inspection, outer sect, and inner sect.

The inspecting disciples are responsible for scattered all over Shuzhou, investigating some people who have martial arts outside the Tang Sect.

The outer disciples are mainly responsible for Tangjiabao's external affairs, such as purchasing and other miscellaneous tasks, and they also have a fixed time every day to practice martial arts.

Inner disciples are relatively rare, and only outer disciples with outstanding talents and meritorious service can be selected as inner disciples.

However, this does not mean that the outer disciples are not important, on the contrary, the outer disciples are the blood, and the inner disciples are the muscles and bones, and both sides are indispensable.

Now that so many disciples from the outer sect had been killed, Tang Jiabao naturally couldn't ignore it.

No matter who the murderer was, Tang Tiansheng would never let him go.

"Do you have any idea about this?" Tang Tiansheng asked.

Although Tang Ming is an inner disciple, he has another identity, that is, the deputy head of the Bird Hall.

Feiniaotang is mainly responsible for intelligence collection, and has an understanding of the movements of Shuzhou and even the entire rivers and lakes, and pays close attention to them at all times.

Tang Ming shook his head at this moment: "Castle Master, this matter is quite strange, and we still can't find out who it is."

"I can't think of it either." Tang Tiansheng frowned, "I've been in charge of the Tangjiabao for so many years, almost no one dares to make trouble. Especially in Jiangbei Wulin..."

He was suddenly startled: "Could it be related to that Bei'an Suyuan?"

Tang Ming was silent.

He doesn't like to speculate without evidence.This is also one of the reasons why he was able to become the deputy head of the Bird Hall at a young age.

Tang Tiansheng was still speculating: "Then Suyuan in Bei'an has already dominated the martial arts in Jiangbei. Could it be that now he has Jiangnan's idea?"

He snorted coldly: "If that's the case, the old man will not agree!"

Although the Tang Sect knew of the rise of Bei'an, the Great Zhou court had no choice but to flee south to Bei'an.But the entire Tang Sect remains the same as before, nothing has changed.

For many people born in the Tang Sect, it doesn't matter how the outside world changes.

No matter who owns the world, Shuzhou will always be Tangmen's Shuzhou... This is almost a truth they have admitted to death.

This is true from top to bottom.

Tang Tiansheng, the master of Tangjiabao, didn't pay much attention to Emperor Dazhou or Bei'an Suyuan, and the children of Tangmen knew only the master of the castle but not the emperor.

Tang Ming said at this time: "Castle Master, this matter needs to be investigated in detail."

He didn't want Tang Tiansheng to judge so quickly.

In particular, as an intelligence officer, he actually knew Su Yuan in Bei'an better than Tang Tiansheng, and he understood the strength of the Bei'an Army better.

Tang Tiansheng nodded slightly, looked at Tang Ming and said, "Tang Ming, you should go and find out about this matter, and then bring him back. I hope that this credit belongs to you, do you understand?"

"Understood, thank you Lord for your attention."

"Well, work hard. Among the disciples of your generation, you are the one I admire the most." Tang Tiansheng said, "This time I can make a great contribution. I will be the master and marry my only granddaughter to you."

Tang Ming heard the words and said: "Miss Tang is a body of a thousand gold, how can my subordinates be worthy of it?"

"Hehe, young people, don't underestimate yourself. I think the old man also rose from the bottom of the world..." Tang Tiansheng showed a flash of nostalgia, "Okay, let's go to work. Remember, not only to arrest people, but also to arrest people." Find out the instigators behind the scenes!"

"Yes, Lord."

Tang Ming exited the lobby, and when he came out, he happened to meet a woman.

The woman was dressed in Tsing Yi, with neat short hair, cold eyes, and skin as white as paper.

"Miss." Tang Mingzun praised.

This woman is Tang Ziyu, the granddaughter of Tang Tiansheng, the lord of the Tang Clan.

Whether it's his noble status or his glamorous face, the disciples in the sect respect and fear him at the same time.In particular, her martial arts are also top-notch, and she is already a third-tier master at a young age, extremely strong.

Tang Ziyu glanced at Tang Ming, and said in a cold voice, "The castle master asked you to arrest someone?"

"Yes."

"How about this matter for me?"

"...Miss, I'm sorry to say that it's hard to obey. The master of the castle will explain this matter to the disciple, and the disciple will go all out."

Tang Ziyu nodded slightly, she knew that Tang Ming was different from other disciples.Most of the other disciples were afraid of her and did not dare to refuse her.And Tang Ming was neither humble nor overbearing when facing her, and he was one of the few disciples she could recognize.

"then you go."

Tang Ming left silently, Tang Ziyu walked into the hall, Tang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Ziyu."

"Grandpa, why didn't you leave this matter to me?" Tang Ziyu asked, "You know I haven't done anything for a long time."

Tang Tiansheng showed displeasure when he heard the words: "You, you just can't stay idle! Girls, every family, show their faces all day long, fighting and killing, what do you look like!"

Tang Ziyu looked resolute and did not back down: "What about women? How many of my male disciples of the same generation can compare to my hidden weapon skills?"

"...Oh, that's true."

Tang Tiansheng had to admit that his granddaughter was extremely talented in martial arts.

If she is a man, then he will definitely train her to be the castle master.but……

Tang Tiansheng knew very well that a woman being the owner of the castle would only lead to endless troubles.

This has nothing to do with strength, but with reality.

The reality is that many men are not convinced that the owner of the castle is a woman.If you are not convinced, you will have a different heart.If you have a different heart, disasters may arise.

Even if Tang Ziyu has the strength to suppress it, maybe once or twice, but there will always be one time when he can't suppress it, and the Tang Sect will probably usher in disaster at that time.

This was something Tang Tiansheng didn't want to see, for which he was already paving the way for the next generation of castle owners.

That candidate was Tang Ming.

Tang Ming is 31 years old this year, young and strong, but without the frizz of a young man.He is thoughtful and intelligent, and his cultivation level is not low. He is now at the sixth level of congenital.

The most important thing is that Tang Ming is innocent. The whole family was born in Tangjiabao, belonging to the purest Tang family. Only such a person can gain more recognition as the owner of the castle.

With ability and means, if he marries Tang Ziyu again, he will have more prestige, so it is completely natural to take over the position of castle master in a few years.

What about the only problem...

Looking at his granddaughter in front of him, Tang Tiansheng couldn't help feeling a headache.

Tang Ziyu loved hidden weapons since she was a child, and didn't like to deal with people. Until now in her 20s, she has never fallen in love with anyone in the castle.

You must know that there are many handsome men and women in Tangjiabao, but Tang Ziyu has never shown any interest. Every day, he is not studying hidden weapons, or meditating and practicing kung fu. Occasionally, he will leave the castle to eliminate the enemies of Tangmen.

This made Tang Tiansheng feel that it might not be easy for her to agree to marry Tang Ming.

He was going to test his tone first, and said, "Zi Yu, what do you think of Tang Ming?"

Tang Ziyu heard the words and said: "He is an excellent disciple of the Tang Sect."

The tone is flat, without any emotion contained in it.

Tang Tiansheng said again: "This child is very good, with good looks, excellent martial arts, and a very smart mind."

"Oh."

Seeing Tang Ziyu's indifference, Tang Tiansheng said helplessly, "Ziyu, don't you have a good impression of this child?"

Tang Ziyu frowned and said, "Favourite? No. Grandpa, you don't want to mess up the mandarin ducks, do you?"

"Ziyu! You are not young anymore! It's time to get married!"

Tang Ziyu's expression didn't change much, but his attitude was extremely firm: "I will decide this matter myself, Grandpa, don't worry about it!" Then he turned and left.

"You!" Tang Tian got angry, then his face changed slightly, and he covered his chest.

Feeling the abnormal surge of Qi and blood in his body, Tang Tiansheng secretly sighed in his heart.

Old man... is the fate really coming to an end?
……

Kim Sun-woo went back with confusion and those gifts.

He didn't get a definite answer here in Bei'an.

When Lu Wuyou reported the content of the discussion to Su Yuan, both parties were very clear about the purpose of King Xia Li.

Lu Wuyou said that that boy Jin Shanyu was afraid that the Bei'an Army would not understand, so under the pretense of drinking, he even said the words "Xia Li is willing to be a good dog for Bei'an".

It seemed drunk, but in fact, the two of them were more sober than the other at the time, and they were not at all drunk.

The reason for drinking is purely to be able to say a lot of things that are usually difficult to say out of alcohol.

Lu Wuyou and Su Yuan believed that what Li Zongheng wanted was to continue to be King Xia Li.For this reason, he is willing to spend a lot of property, whether it is for the Bei'an Army or for the common people.

At the same time, not only did he take it out himself, but he also asked his ministers and wealthy merchants in Xiali to take it.

But the problem is that Li Zongheng is worried that doing so will make his subordinates rebel.Although he is a great king, once the people under him turn against him, his military strength is not enough to suppress it.

What's more, many of his soldiers are from rich families, so there is no way to suppress them by themselves.

Therefore, Li Zongheng asked Jin Shanyu to show his sincerity, and at the same time, he wanted the Bei'an Army to send troops to Xiali to help implement this whole set of strategies.

It doesn't matter how many families the Bei'an army wants to deal with, as long as the Li family continues to retain the throne, this is the core appeal of Li Zongheng, King of Xiali.

Generally speaking, Li Zongheng hopes to pay a sufficient amount of "protection fee" in exchange for Bei'an Army's support for the Li family's royal family.

this deal...

Su Yuan chose to refuse.

This choice seemed to be expected by Lu Wuyou, but when Su Yuan clearly refused, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time in the study, Su Yuan saw Lu Wuyou's relieved expression, and asked, "Why, Wuyou, are you worried that I will agree to Jin Shanyu's proposal?"

"Yes." Lu Wuyou admitted, "If the prince agrees, the subordinate officials will definitely dissuade you."

"Oh?"

"The original intention of the prince is to liberate all the people, but this transaction has violated this original intention. If we agree, it will be tantamount to becoming the umbrella of the royal family... In the future, other countries can also follow suit, handing over their interests and keeping their own status. Isn't this It should."

Hearing this, Su Yuan was very relieved and said, "Wuyou, you still know me best."

Lu Wuyou's words were exactly the same as Su Yuan's own thoughts.

The original intention of his uprising was to put the people first and the people first, not the princes and generals.

If he accepts Li Zongheng's deal, the nature of the Bei'an Army will change, from an army fighting for the people to an army fighting for hegemony.

Su Yuan said to Lu Wuyou: "King Xia Lina, and this Jin Shanyu, talk about learning the Bei'an system and policies. In fact, they don't even know what our policies are."

"What the prince said is very true." Lu Wuyou said, "They undoubtedly only saw the surface, only saw the good treatment we gave to the people, but did not see the concept of equality at the essential level. I am afraid that in their eyes, such a gift Wealth is essentially no different from charity."

After the conversation, Su Yuan, who didn't pay attention to Xiali originally, also noticed this small country.

However, he is not prepared to send troops. On the one hand, Dongwa has not yet dealt with it completely, and on the other hand, it is unknown to send troops.

He was famous for fighting Southern Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Japan, and Xifeng.But for Xiali, you can't just say "I want to liberate you" and let the army overwhelm you. You can win like that, but it will cost many innocent lives.

What Su Yuan has to do is to encourage the lower-level people in Xiali to awaken themselves in the short term, and wait for Dongwo to be completely calmed down before making the next step.

And for him, the next move of the Bei'an Army is to seize Jiangnan first and realize the complete unification of the country.

"I don't know if this summoning can help me move faster."

In the early morning of a new day, Su Yuan took out the military talisman, and after more than a week, the number of summons had already been refreshed.
