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

Chapter 156 The imperial power emerges from Ge Dun

"Your Majesty, something is going to happen with His Highness King Wu."

In the Qianqing Palace, Feng Dabao stood beside Emperor Jian'an and said in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Emperor Jian'an tightened his coat and said casually: "I see that he has kept all the power and aristocratic families in Ying County in check. With his strength, how can anyone make a fool of himself? "

"It's not Ying County, it's Zhao Guo who has something unusual."

"Zhao Guo?" Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu put down the memorial in his hand and raised his head.

Feng Dabao, the palm eunuch, continued: "The spies on the slave side discovered that General Li Mu of the State of Zhao has secretly mobilized a hundred thousand troops and is expected to attack Ying County next year."

"Is your information accurate?"

"It's absolutely true. His Royal Highness King Gangwu also sent someone to send information, which is the same as what the servant knows."

Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu's originally calm face suddenly turned serious.

"The last time Chu and Zhao formed an alliance, Zhao suffered a heavy loss, and the Li family was the most affected. This time it seems that they can't swallow the sigh in their hearts."

He stood up from the long desk, walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back, looked forward, and said: "Ying County has a dangerous terrain and is a major barrier in the eastern part of Wei State. Once it is lost, the entire three eastern counties will be destroyed." Corruption. Did King Wu say anything?"

Feng Dabao said truthfully: "His Royal Highness said that Ying County is located in a cold climate, lacks food and clothing, and there is a serious shortage of soldiers and armor in the warehouse. Your Majesty wants your Majesty to give you [-] sets of soldiers and armor, [-] bows and crossbows, and [-] long swords, Long sword.”

Does he want to build his own army?
Emperor Jian'an was a little surprised.

On the eastern border of Wei State, the Eastern Army was stationed.

If Li Mu of Zhao State invades, the best way is to let the Eastern Army recruit soldiers locally from various martial arts forces and cities.

This is the easiest and most feasible.

Many princes in the Wei Kingdom have tried to form their own armies over the past 200 years, but they all failed without exception.

Those martial arts forces are not very obedient to the orders of their royal family. When the scale of the army reaches a certain level, they will break away from the control of their royal family and stand on their own.

Even as the King of Wei, he only controlled the eight thousand forbidden troops in Daliang. He could only do this by relying on the Seven-Star Absolute Heavenly Formation in Daliang.

I have to say, this is an extremely difficult road.

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu also knew that Zhao Hongming had built a force of about a thousand Wei soldiers in Ying County.

The nature of this army is similar to the nature of the forbidden army in his hands. It is just the private arm of the local prince and is mainly used to protect the safety of the prince.

Even King Yong, King Su, and King Ping, who had been enfeoffed earlier, relied on the power behind their respective mothers and concubines, and they only had three to five hundred soldiers at their disposal.

In his eyes, it was very rare for Zhao Hongming to achieve this step from scratch without the support of his mother and concubine.

Now he didn't expect that his unfavored son in the past would actually ask for one hundred thousand soldiers.

This number is almost enough for him to equip one-third of the Eastern Army.

As a young man, I have great ambitions.

Feng Dabao, the eunuch in charge, saw that Emperor Jian'an did not speak for a while. He continued: "Your Majesty, when His Majesty King Wu made this request, he was worried that Your Majesty would not agree to it, and asked his servant to pass a message to His Majesty."

Emperor Jian'an turned his head and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu said that the imperial power comes from Ge Dun. Now that he is blessed by his ancestors and has the opportunity to practice martial arts, he should boldly try and make bold changes. I hope your majesty will give you your full support."

Emperor Jian'an was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "What a good example of imperial power emerging from Ge Dun. My son really did not disappoint me."

He stopped laughing and said: "Now that the Eastern Army is decayed and infiltrated by the Huo family, it is a hidden danger. If King Wu can bring out another army, maybe this hidden danger can be eliminated."

"Feng Daban."

"The old slave is here."

"According to my oral instructions, I ordered Chen Mou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to collect [-] armors, [-] swords, [-] swords, [-] crossbows, and [-] shields within three months, and secretly deliver them to King Wu."

Feng Dabao was shocked. He didn't expect that Emperor Jian'an would be so generous this time and gave King Wu a quarter of the armaments in the Wei arsenal.

He couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, are you giving too much this time? Should you reduce some? I am afraid that some military ministers will raise objections, and the Eastern Army will be unstable."

"First send it to King Wu in the name of the Eastern Army."

"What if it is discovered?"

"So what if they find out? I think they are reluctant to touch me now."

Since the last time it withstood the pressure of the Three Kingdoms to conquer Wei, Wei's national destiny has shown signs of prosperity, and the efficiency of producing wish stones is [-]% higher than before.

Many martial arts forces and Wei officials have received a lot of benefits, and they have no complaints against him.

Emperor Jian'an said enthusiastically: "Instead of feeding unfamiliar outsiders and fueling his arrogance in the future, it is better to give him to my own professed King Wu. I have a hunch that he will not let me down. The resurgence of the Wei Dynasty is about to begin."

"In this case, the old slave knows what to do." Feng Dabao said.

……

Time flies like running water, two months pass by in the blink of an eye, and the new year is here in a blink of an eye.

At this time, there has been a heavy snowfall in Yingjun County, and as far as the eye can see, it is covered with snow.

Prince Wu's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with layers of joy.

As the owner of Duofuxuan daily receives guests, entertains and chats, there are long tables with gluttonous feasts on them.

Since Zhao Hongming had not yet married, there were no extra family members in the palace, so there was not as much excitement as when he was in Daliang.

The only people attending the banquet were Chang Wubing, Wu Qi, Zhang Yi, Gao Yanshi and a few close friends.

When Zhao Hongming walked to the high position, several people already present shouted: "Your Highness, King Wu, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

"You all can take a seat, there is no need to be restrained."

Chang Wubing and others were not in a hurry to sit down. They waited for Zhao Hongming to sit down before taking their seats one after another.

After they all sat down, the maids guarding outside the table began to pour wine for everyone.

Zhao Hongming took the lead in picking up the wine glass and said: "Come, let's raise a glass to celebrate the past year. I have established a firm foothold in Ying County and cannot do without your help."

"Your Highness is majestic and righteous. This is the duty of your subordinates."

"Your Highness is mighty and righteous."

Zhao Hongming laughed, raised his head and drank from the cup.

Looking back on the past six months, he gathered the martial arts forces, destroyed the Wang family, destroyed the Chen family village, destroyed the Shangxian sect... Along the way, he had firmly grasped Yingjun in his hands.

Moreover, his cultivation level also successfully broke through the Wudan realm and became a Wudan realm martial artist, which can be said to be a fruitful experience.

With the blessing of many resources, Chang Wubing, who has been with him the longest, also successfully broke through to the Xiantian realm and became a Xiantian realm martial artist.

The number of soldiers formed by Wei Wu was expanded to 1 as scheduled in the past two months.

Zhao Hongming knew that a force centered on him was gradually taking shape.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

This is indeed inseparable from the support of his subordinates.

If there is no one to share the burden for him, then he will not have so much energy to practice, and his cultivation can break through so quickly.

Zhao Hongming clapped his hands.

The four servants guarding the door came in, each holding a tray covered with black cloth and placing it in front of Chang Wubing and others.

Black is an auspicious color in Wei State.

All four of them knew that this was Zhao Hongming's New Year's reward.

"Let's see if you like the New Year's gift I gave you." Zhao Hongming said with a smile on his face.Wu Qi was the first to lift the black cloth. On the red tray was a secret book with the words "The Book of Killing" clearly written on it.

His face changed.

This is the immortal martial arts technique.

Wu Qi stood up in excitement, walked to the middle of the main hall, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Zhao Hongming knew that Wu Qi was indeed a talented soldier. Wei soldiers were trained like tigers and wolves, and his contributions were indelible.

It's a pity that his cultivation level is not high. In the later stages, if he wants to frighten the three armies, he will still need some help in cultivation.

This Sutra of Death is just right for him.

Fighting on the battlefield in the future will be of great help to his improvement in cultivation.

Therefore, Zhao Hongming took this opportunity to reward him with the Sutra of Killing, without any respect for himself or his family.

In his opinion, no matter how much you cherish the skills, they are just dead things after all, and talents are the most important.

The next person to open it was Gao Yanshi.

The pallet in front of him contained a wooden box.

Gao Yanshi picked it up curiously, opened it, and was very excited.

What was inside was his treasure.

As a eunuch, this is the most important thing to them, and they would not exchange it even for a thousand pieces of gold.

When he left Daliang, he didn't have the strength to retrieve his treasure. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongming actually retrieved it, which made him overjoyed.

Gao Yanshi quickly walked to the middle of the hall, knelt on the ground and said emotionally: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

After that came Chang Wubing and Zhang Yi.

One of them got an exquisite long sword, and the other got the title deed of Luling House.

It was also in line with their wishes, and they each came forward to kowtow and thank them.

"Get up."

Behind him, the maid refilled a glass of wine for Zhao Hongming and others.

Zhao Hongming raised his glass again and said in a tinged tone: "This glass is a toast to the coming year."

When he said this, his tone couldn't help but become a little darker.

"You all know that although the internal troubles have been eliminated now, the external troubles are still there. The Zhao Kingdom Li Mu and the Haoran Sect are eyeing us. There will be many challenges next year. I hope you can still work together to tide over the difficulties with me."

Zhao Hongming carefully considered the challenges he faced now.

What is right in front of you is the Zhao army.

There are some brave warriors among them, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything.

Fortunately, Emperor Jian'an was not a fool. He knew the seriousness of the matter and gave him a lot of support, which relieved him a little bit of pressure.

In addition, the secret of immortality discovered in the ancient tombs of the Yin Kingdom also made him uneasy.

It seemed to involve many secrets that he didn't know about, and they had a lot to do with his national fate.

Fortunately, this incident has not had a huge impact on him yet, so he can explore slowly.

Under the leadership of Zhao Hongming, Chang Wubing and the other four also raised their glasses and shouted: "Slaves/generals/subordinates will share weal and woe with His Highness King Wu and never back down."

"it is good!"

Everyone present drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhao Hongming said happily: "Since there is wine and meat, how can we not have beauties to add to the fun? Come and invite the beauties to play music, sing and dance."

All the beautiful women and four girls in the palace and all the singers were invited.

Music and dance soon began in Duofuxuan, and the guests of honor and guests enjoyed themselves.

In the middle of the night, the party dispersed.

Zhao Hongming returned to the practice room again.

He took off his robe and left his upper body naked, planning to practice in the new year.

But before practicing, he picked up two unopened letters.

One was from Chen Xuerong, and the other was from Zhao Hongguang.

Zhao Hongming opened Zhao Hongguang's letter first.

The letter talked about some trivial things that happened around Zhao Hongguang, as well as some New Year blessings.

Most of the chapters were about his mother-in-law planning to arrange a marriage for him. The woman was not beautiful, but had high cultivation, which made him very painful.

Due to his character, he did not dare to resist. There is a high probability that this matter will fall through. It is expected that when he leaves the cabinet next year, he may get married.

Zhao Hongming could imagine how unhappy Zhao Hongguang would look at this time.

"Eighth brother is still as timid as ever."

Putting down the letter from Zhao Hongguang, he picked up his New Year's letter written by Chen Xuerong.

When I took out the letter, a maple leaf slipped from the letter.

Zhao Hongming picked up the maple leaves and found that there was not much uniqueness about them.

He focused his attention on Chen Xuerong's letter again, and after reading it, he sighed: "I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, she would have been promoted to the Xiantian realm."

Zhao Hong remembered that Chen Xuerong was only three years older than him. He had successfully reached the Xiantian realm at the age of 19, and it was only a matter of time before he became a Wudan realm martial artist.

This martial arts talent, I have to say, is quite remarkable.

In addition to his own hard work, his current achievements are also partly due to the [Tiandao Rewards Diligence] martial arts panel.

Chen Xuerong was able to reach this level just by relying on his own cultivation, which was a bit unbelievable to him.

He could even imagine how much hard work and effort Chen Xuerong put in behind the scenes.
At the end of the letter, he explained the origin of the maple leaves, with a charming air: "His Royal Highness, King Wu, must be a little homesick after being away from home for a long time. I specially picked a maple leaf from His Highness's backyard, hoping to comfort me. .”

Zhao Hongming could only say that Chen Xuerong was interested in him and she was a good girl.

He picked up the maple leaf and put it back into the envelope and put it away.

Then he stood up from the futon, took a deep breath, and his whole body suddenly felt like lightning.

Zhao Hongming picked up a wish stone, put it in his mouth, and started a new round of hard practice.

After being promoted to the Martial Arts Realm, the role of the wish stone is no longer limited to extracting the essence contained in the flesh and blood. Even the thin spiritual energy in the void is also pulled in simultaneously under the action of the wish stone and is sensed by him.

Zhao Hongming was not ambiguous. The true meaning of Far Transformation and the true meaning of Thunder were simultaneously refining the essence and spiritual energy in the body.

The essence that the Immortal True Intention master refines also comes with the refining part of the spiritual energy, while the Thunder True Intention does the opposite.

The two complemented each other, making Zhao Hongming's cultivation speed suddenly much faster.

At this time, Zhao Hongming suddenly had a bold idea.

Whether it is the Eight Desolations Eternal Age Kung Fu or the Thunder Destruction Dharma Body, both of them stop at the realm of creation.

What will happen if the two immortal martial arts are practiced to the highest level?
Zhao Hongming licked his lips and couldn't help but look forward to it.
