Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 127

Outside the palace of King Wu.

Zhang Yi and the little girl were at a side stall, eating breakfast.

Seeing Zhang Yi's eyes staring at something, the little girl asked curiously: "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Yi said softly: "King Wu's situation is not very good now, you can see that the county guard has not relaxed his surveillance."

Following the direction Zhang Yi pointed, the little girl saw several warriors chatting together with long knives in their hands.

From time to time, they would look towards Prince Wu's Mansion, their eyes full of vigilance.

"I heard that when King Wu first came, the county guard planned to put people in King Wu. Later, by chance, the people he put in were killed. King Wu took this opportunity to recall his imperial army. Otherwise, King Wu situation will be more difficult.”

"Isn't King Wu related to the Ming Cult? Why didn't he let Wei Wuji of the Ming Cult solve this problem for him?"

"It's not that time yet." Zhang Yi sorted out the information collected these days, he straightened his mind and said: "There are hundreds of martial arts forces in Ying County, and more than half of the martial arts forces have a close relationship with the county guard. More than a dozen martial arts forces have taken refuge in the Wang family, and this Mingjiao has only five schools. If it wasn't for Wei Wuji's high cultivation level, which made others dare not act rashly, otherwise, this Mingjiao is not much different from those grassroots teams."

"This King Wu is accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity." Zhang Yi said thoughtfully, "King Wu is not one of those idle kings."

The little girl said half understanding: "Brother, we have done so many things for King Wu, why hasn't he summoned us?"

Zhang Yi didn't speak.

If you want to see King Wu, there is a hurdle that Eunuch Gao cannot get around.

Looking at the other party's appearance now, it seems that there is no intention of recommending it.

A young man hurried over from outside the shop, his eyes swept across the shop one by one.

When he saw Zhang Yi, he looked happy and walked over quickly.

"Boss."

Zhang Yi raised his eyelids, but did not make a sound.

The boy's name was Liang Ying, and he was a beggar in scantily-clothed clothes before. Later, Zhang Yi discovered that he had a smarter mind and a clear logic, and he could get along well with all the schools and schools in Luling.

He simply focused on training and learned a lot from behind him.

"Any news?"

"Boss, the Wang family seems to be short of money now."

"Tell me in detail."

"You know we have some friends in the Wang family. I heard from them that there used to be a lot of meat in the slop poured by the Wang family, but now there is no vegetable leaf. This Wang family is not as rich as before. I guess it must be the source of wealth for the Wang family." nervous."

Zhang Yi nodded, expressing his approval: "The Wang family lost the Yinghe River Transport, which is their main source of income. It is inevitable that it will be affected, and it depends on the extent of the impact."

Liang Ying thought for a while and said: "I can't figure it out. The ancestors of the Wang family are not low. Why did they turn a blind eye to Mingjiao's actions?"

"There should be something happening here that we don't know about." Zhang Yi said: "But as long as the general strategic direction is correct, a temporary tactical retreat will not affect the situation."

Zhang Yi took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table: "If there is any trouble in the future, please let me know in time."

"I see, boss."

Liang Ying lowered her voice, wiped the table with her hand, and put away the broken silver on the table without any trace.

When he was about to leave, Zhang Yi stopped him and said, "Liang Ying, I'm meeting with you today, do you want to come together?"

When Liang Ying heard this, a lot of ecstasy appeared on his face.

He knew that Zhang Yi was working for an adult, and it would be of great benefit if he could have this adult as his backer.

Liang Ying said almost without thinking, "Liang Ying is willing."

……

Wu Wangfu.

Zhao Hongming sat in the long pavilion beside the rockery, and Gao Yanshi stood beside him respectfully, without any impatience.

He leaned against the long edge and stared at a maple tree in the distance.

It's late autumn, the leaves of the maple trees have turned yellow, and the maple leaves rattle when the breeze blows.

Zhao Hongming's face was rarely relaxed, and he suddenly asked, "How far is your cultivation now?"

Gao Yanshi bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, this servant is now at the seventh rank of Opening Meridian."

Hearing Gao Yanshi's answer, Zhao Hongming was satisfied.

Gao Yanshi has reached this level in less than two years of practicing martial arts.

Although there is a wishing stone in it, but the flaws are not hidden, and the martial arts talent is already very high.

Zhao Hongming then asked, "Where's Chang's guard?"

"I heard that I am retreating to the realm of the Ninth Grade, and it is at a critical juncture recently."

After he became the king, he had a lot more resources. In addition to killing the Chu army before, he brought thousands of wish stones.

Even if he refines uninterrupted every day, he only refines six or seven in a day.

It can't be refined at all.

The extra wish stones are all in his hands, and they are not of much use.

It just so happens that the people around him are relatively low in martial arts.

Zhao Hongming didn't hide his secrets, he was very generous to these subordinates around him, he kept giving the extra wish stones to Chang Wubing, Gao Yanshi, Wu Qi and others respectively, and focused on training them.

The people around him still have some talents. He didn't have much status in the palace before, which caused the team around him to suffer too, and his martial arts cultivation progressed slowly.

Now that Zhao Hongming has gotten rid of these constraints, with the blessing of the wish stone, they are all practicing hard and making rapid progress.

"Then let Guard Chang break through with peace of mind. After he is promoted to Xiantian, I will have other plans."

Mingjiao's development speed is a bit beyond his expectation, and the number of people is increasing day by day.

He usually spends most of his time on cultivation, and he doesn't have much energy to take charge of this matter. If Chang Wuyi and Chang's guards break through smoothly, he can at least be in charge of Mingjiao's related affairs instead of showing his face in public .

Gao Yanshi bowed his head and said yes.

"There are more and more warriors joining Mingjiao now. If we keep them idle, we may cause trouble." Zhao Hongming thought: "But if you want to train soldiers, Wu Qi is indispensable. Now there are people under the county guard outside, how to let him What about going out without a trace?"

At that time, he was considering setting up a martial arts force outside for military training, but he did not take this aspect into consideration, which made him quite distressed.

If only the sheriff removed those guards outside.

But Zhao Hongming knew that this was not an easy task, so he couldn't help but sighed in the long pavilion.

Gao Yanshi on the side observed his words and expressions, and became thoughtful.

Today is the day agreed with Zhang Yi to exchange information.

After Zhao Hongming started to practice, Gao Yanshi left the Prince Wu's Mansion alone, and came to the place he had agreed with Zhang Yi on weekdays.

When he arrived, he found that besides Zhang Yi, there was another young man with an excited face.

A strange look flashed in Gao Yanshi's eyes, and then he walked over calmly.

Seeing Gao Yanshi, Zhang Yi took the initiative to bend over and clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Yi has met Mr. Gao."

"This is Liang Ying, who can read and write, and is good at inquiring about news." He pointed to Gao Yanshi and introduced each other, "This is Mr. Gao."

Gao Yanshi is not a fool, he said with a half-smile: "What do you mean? Are you planning to leave Luling?"

Zhang Yi sighed: "My lord, let me tell you the truth, I have a senior brother from the same sect who is in a high position in Zhao State, and I had planned to go to him before. But I was in trouble all the way and had to be taken in by my lord, so I have delayed it until now. My senior brother has asked someone to pass it on to him. The letter said that he would introduce me to Mr. Anyang as long as he came over, so I recommended Liang Ying to you."

Gao Yanshi knew that Zhang Yi was a talented person, and thanks to his great help during this period, he successfully opened up the situation in Luling City.

Such a person let go, he hesitated.

Gao Yanshi thought that His Royal Highness King Wu was currently employing people, and these people had limited knowledge, so they couldn't share more for His Highness.

How about recommending this person to His Highness King Wu?

Judging from the situation of getting along with each other in the past few months, Zhang Yi, who has a beginning and an end, is neither humble nor overbearing, unlike those who steal, rape and play tricks.

After thinking twice, Gao Yanshi said, "I don't know what kind of status Anyang Jun can give you?"

Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "I need to go there to find out."

Gao Yanshi said with a smile: "Then why do you seek far away? You know who I serve, and I wonder if you would like to try?"

A cunning flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, he hesitated for a few moments and said, "Since my lord invites you, Zhang Yi will not refuse any more, and is willing to give it a try."

"Then you can come with me later." Gao Yanshi turned his gaze to Liang Ying and said, "Tell me the news you have inquired recently."

Liang Ying was shocked and said, "My lord, it's like this..."

After talking for a while, Gao Yanshi had already figured it out, took ten taels of silver and gave it to Liang Ying, and told him, "Do it well, don't let me down."

It was the first time that Liang Ying received so much money, and she became a little incoherent. She thanked her several times before leaving satisfied.

"please."

"Sir, please."

Under the leadership of Gao Yanshi, Zhang Yi entered Wu Wang's mansion very smoothly.

The two walked around the screen wall, walked towards the depths of the palace, and soon arrived outside Zhao Hongming's study.

"Wait for me outside, I'll report to His Highness King Wu." Gao Yanshi cautioned.

Zhang Yi clasped his fists as a gesture, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Gao."

Gao Yanshi knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

"Come in." Zhao Hongming's voice sounded neither happy nor sad from the room.

Gao Yanshi pushed the door and entered.

Zhao Hongming let out a foul breath, opened his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

Gao Yanshi respectfully said: "There is someone here who I want to introduce to Your Highness. The intelligence network outside I was built by this person, and he is a rare and talented person."

Zhao Hongming became interested and said: "Oh, since you said he is a talent, then I will meet him and let him in."

Gao Yanshi went outside and said to Zhang Yi, "Go in, King Wu is willing to see you."

Zhang Yi clasped his fists as a signal, without further words, walked in with his head held high, and when he saw Wu Wang who was as young as him, he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Craftsman Zhang Yi pays homage to His Highness Wu Wang."

Zhao Hongming looked Zhang Yi up and down, and said, "You look very young, how old are you?"

"Caomin just turned 15."

"That's about the same age as this king. It's a bit young." Zhao Hongming said casually.

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "I heard that General Huo of the State of Wei led 15 cavalry into Chu and Han in order to steal Lieutenant Yao. What does it have to do with age? In Zhang Yi's opinion, some people have wasted their lives for dozens of years, but in the end they are not as brave as His Highness."

"Hahaha." Zhao Hongming suddenly became interested and walked down from the bed and said, "In that case, sir, he is very talented. I wonder what he can do for me when he comes here? I It seems that Mister does not appear to have a very high cultivation level."

Zhang Yi took a step forward, and said a subtle sentence in front of Zhao Hongming: "A bird perched on Mount Fu in the south, and it did not spread its wings, fly, or sing for three years, and remained silent."

"This bird has not spread its wings for three years to grow its wings; it does not fly or sing to observe the attitudes of the major forces in Ying County. Although it has not yet flown, it will surely soar to the sky; although it has not yet sang, it will surely sing amazing."

"If His Highness King Wu wants to become this bird, he needs someone like me to advise you."

When Zhang Yi said such words, Zhao Hongming's expression became serious involuntarily.

He was alone in Prince Wu's Mansion, he went in and out, and he covered up his identity when doing things outside, and he was very careful.

I didn't expect this unattractive man in front of me to be able to see so clearly, which is really not easy.

Zhao Hongming looked as usual, and said calmly: "Then Mr. Yi, what should I do next?"

Zhang Yi had already prepared and said: "The top priority is that Your Highness needs to let the county guard let go of the surveillance and return King Wu to freedom. To achieve this goal, you need to rely on the power of the Wang family."

Zhao Hongming suddenly became interested and said, "Tell me about it."

"The grassroots have already heard that the Wang family is currently short of money. His Highness is secretly forming a friendship with the Wang family at this time. The Wang family will definitely agree. Later, the Wang family can push the county guard to withdraw the surveillance of His Highness."

Zhao Hongming laughed and said, "Where did the money come from?"

Zhang Yi had a half-smiling expression on his face. He didn't say much, and everything seemed to be in silence.

Zhao Hongming immediately understood what Zhang Yi meant.

It is for him to use the income he robbed from various parts of the Wang family to give to the Wang family.

I have to say that this strategy is indeed interesting.

Standing again and again.

"Sir, do you want me to give money to the Wang family for free?"

"No, why do you have to take out the money that fell into your pocket for no reason? It depends on what His Highness wants?"

Zhao Hongming thought that he was about to train soldiers, so he opened his mouth and said, "Armor, bow and crossbow."

"I hope His Highness will send someone to escort me to the Wang family and give me a thousand pieces of gold. Zhang Yi is willing to go and facilitate this matter for His Highness." Zhang Yi clasped his fists and said respectfully.

Zhao Hongming obviously did not expect Zhang Yi to stop the matter so directly. He couldn't help but look at it twice and said politely: "Sir, if you can facilitate this matter, I would like to treat you as a guest."

Zhang Yi said: "This is what Zhang Yi should do. Now that it is determined, the common man Zhang Yi went down to prepare."

"Sir, whatever you want."

Zhang Yi cupped his fists, bowed and retreated.

When he walked outside the door, Gao Yanshi was already guarding the door with a sword.He said with a smile: "I have sent someone to fetch the sword, sir, and now it is returned to its original owner."
