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

Zhao State, Imperial Palace.

"The defeat of Master Haoran this time will have a great impact on our Zhao country. To be more serious, it may shake the stability of the martial arts forces in our Zhao country for more than ten years."

"This is entirely caused by Li Mu. If it weren't for his desperate move, our Zhao country would not have been so defeated. Even Hedong would have been completely wiped out."

"It's a shame that our great state of Zhao can't match the mere Wei Dynasty. Your Majesty, please punish Li Mu."

Above the court, some ministers began to attack Li Mu under Pang She's instruction.

In fact, everyone knows that the one who really wants to take action behind this is Haoran Sect.

It just so happened that Li Mu also wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand his power in the court, and the Haoran Sect had been standing behind Li Mu, so the two immediately hit it off and ended up doing this.

The Haoran Sect is powerful in Zhao State.

They don't have the courage to attack the Haoran Sect yet, but they still have the courage to take advantage of the defeat to put all the blame on Li Mu.

Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, showed a troubled expression again and subconsciously looked towards the side where Li Mu was originally standing.

He asked: "Where is General Li Mu, why didn't you come to the morning court today?"

"Back to Your Majesty, General Li Mu has fallen ill at home and is in poor health, so he cannot come."

Although Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang was not very capable, he was not a pure fool.

Li Mu's cultivation level has reached the third level of martial arts, how could he get sick?

This is obviously just an excuse for him.

But Zhigui knew that he couldn't really pierce Li Mu's fig leaf in the court, otherwise it would make both of them look ugly in the end.

Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang looked at his minister, who looked about 30 years old, and said, "Yu Shi Lin, what do you think about this matter?"

The censor named by him stood up and said, "In my opinion, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on General Li Mu?"

"Oh? Why?" Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang asked.

Lin Yushi said calmly: "Because the one who is really to blame is actually the Black Clothes Club."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guo's originally peaceful court immediately became noisy.

Although the Black Clothes Club looks up to others, it is actually controlled by Pang She's camp.

This is Li Mu's side diverting trouble from the east.

A minister belonging to Pang She's camp stood up and said: "Lin Pifu, are you talking nonsense? Li Mu is obviously arrogant and his skills are inferior to others. What's the matter with the Black Clothes Club?"

Lin Yushi said calmly: "The key factors that led to General Li Mu's defeat were the soldiers of Wei Dynasty, King Wu of Ying County, and the leader of Mingjiao."

"Now we look back and see that one of Wei's soldiers is worth ten, and they are the best in the world. As an intelligence agency, the Black Clothes Society knows nothing about it. If we don't blame them, who should we blame?"

"Although King Wu of Yingjun was rumored not to be favored or paid attention to by Emperor Wei, and was a prince that no one cared about, looking back now, he was able to integrate the forces of his subordinates. In just half a year in Yingjun, the complicated situation in Yingjun was Can the martial arts forces be abolished and unified? Is this something that an ordinary prince can do?"

"Not to mention, such a prince was given the title of "Wu". Regarding the details, the Black Clothes Society actually knows nothing about it. Who should be blamed if they are not blamed?"

"Wei Wuji, the last leader of the Ming Cult, has a mysterious origin, and his combat power has surpassed that of the Haoran sect master. In a short period of time, the Wei State has already had two warriors with combat prowess up to the ninth level of valor. And from the beginning to the end, our Zhao State They all had no idea, so if you don’t blame them, who should you blame?”

Lin Yushi continued: "Your Majesty, this battle is not entirely General Li Mu's fault. He must bear at least half of the responsibility for the Black Clothes Society's problems."

His words were sonorous, powerful and well-founded, so when he finished speaking, there was an instant silence in the Zhao Kingdom Hall.

Even Pang She, the minister who had just retorted, was a little confused. It took him a while to realize what he was doing and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yushi Lin is trying to excuse Li Mu's crime! Please tell me clearly."

Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also stunned by Lin Yushi's words.

He murmured twice and said, "Then the soldiers of Wei, King Wu, and the leader of Mingjiao are really so powerful?"

Lin Yushi puffed up his chest and said: "It's a bit more powerful than Wei Chen said, especially King Wu, who needs to pay special attention to it. I don't think any of the princes in the Wei Kingdom can do it to his level. This person must be hiding his clumsiness."

Seeing that his men had been defeated, Pang She stepped forward and said, "Why should Lin Censor increase the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition? However, as Lin Censor said, the defeat of the Zhaowei War this time has something to do with the Black Clothes Society." The relationship cannot be separated, please Your Majesty punish everyone in the Black Clothes Society to correct the royal family."

"Ah..." Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang was surprised.

This Black Clothes Club is a martial arts force, and it still belongs to Pang She's side. To punish him is to roast him on the fire rack.

He hurriedly said: "This matter is of great importance, please allow me to consider it carefully. Let's stop here today and withdraw from the court."

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang stood up hurriedly, and with the help of his personal eunuch, left quickly, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

After Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang left, the ministers in the court instantly became lively again.

Pang She walked up to Lin Censor Lin Yiyi and said coldly: "Censor Lin is really sharp in his words. I, Pang, have seen that today."

Lin Yushi Lin said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I'm just discussing the matter."

"Humph!"

Pang She flicked his sleeves and left the court quickly.

……

On the wide dirt road outside Jinyin City, a carriage drove slowly from a distance.

The wheels rolled on the sand, making a dull sound.

"drive!"

The coachman drove the carriage steadily, waving his whip from time to time to drive the carriage forward.

The bronze bells hanging at the four corners of the carriage swayed randomly as the carriage jolted, making a rapid tinkling sound.

Zhao Hongming sat cross-legged in the carriage, silently running the Bahuang Bulao Gong to repair the injuries in his body.

There is no doubt about the ability of Bahuang Eternal Age Technique to repair the physical body. During this period of time, even the trauma to the internal organs has been no longer serious.

But only the damage to the soul is a bit troublesome and requires a little time and thought.

Zhao Hongming's mind moved, and he had an idea, mobilizing all the energy, blood and true meaning in his body.

The ocean-like energy and blood flowed out of the body.

The muscles of his long arms began to tighten and swell under the influx of Qi and blood, and then swelled up layer by layer, revealing a tough sense of strength and a thick body.

With every breath, his chest seemed to be burning with blood, exuding an indescribable aura.

Suddenly, he frowned and felt a pain coming from the depths of his soul, hitting his heart like a wave.

It's the injury to the soul.

Zhao Hongming endured the discomfort in his soul and used the Eight Desolations Eternal Age Skill and the Thunder Destruction Body at the same time.

He was sweating profusely, soaking his clothes and hair, but he still had no intention of stopping.

After a moment, cyan true meaning condensed from the void and gathered behind him.

"Knot!"

Zhao Hongming shouted in his heart.

The cyan true meaning behind him seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and began to condense towards the shape of a person.

But after reaching a certain level, it suddenly collapsed.

"It still doesn't work." Zhao Hongming sighed and said: "It seems that I can only rely on water to sharpen my kung fu, and I will slowly recuperate in the next time. A martial artist of the ninth level of Wudan is really terrible." At present, he is only a third-level martial artist, and Without crossing the fifth-grade natural chasm, many mysterious methods cannot be used.

In this battle with Zhao Guo, after defeating the leader of the Haoran clan, he was able to get away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches.

The rest can be left to the people below to finish.

It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, no one will attack Yingjun again or take advantage of him.

And he can also take advantage of this time to recuperate, heal his injuries, and at the same time improve his cultivation as much as possible.

Zhao Hongming briefly sorted out the general things that needed to be done next.

He took a breath and stopped exercising.

The cyan true meaning suspended around him gradually dissipated into the void.

Zhao Hongming asked: "Where are we now?"

The driver of the car was shocked and replied respectfully: "Master, we will arrive at Jinyin City soon."

"Oh."

Zhao Hongming opened the car curtain and looked out.

The outline of Jinyin City in the distance has appeared in his sight.

The ancient city walls look mottled and old in the sun.

The rice in the fields outside the city has been harvested, and the exposed rice fields show a golden color in the sun. Sometimes you can still see some remaining rice straws swaying gently in the wind.

There are women and children carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, followed by two children leaning over to pick up the new ears of rice in the harvested rice fields.

After a great battle, Jinyin City quickly recovered and was not completely depressed because of his use of troops.

Zhao Hongming was a little surprised.

He silently lowered the curtain and followed the carriage closer to Jinyin City Gate.

Zhao Hongming ordered: "You don't need to go to the city, just go back. I can go there by myself."

The driver of the car hesitated and said: "Master, did General Wu and the others ask me to take you to the Yamen?"

"I left a wishing stone and three taels of silver, and you can take care of the rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hongming emerged from the carriage in a flash. His cuffs flicked, revealing silk white sleeves, and he disappeared from the carriage in an instant.

The driver felt that the carriage was shaking slightly as if a heavy weight had been lifted off it.

He looked back and reached out to open the car door. There was no one inside except a wishing stone and three taels of silver.

And he never saw Zhao Hongming from the beginning to the end.

The coachman stopped his carriage, walked in, collected the silver and other items, and said to himself: "Oh, there is no other way. Since the leader has said so, I have no choice but to go back and recover."

He turned his horse around and headed back the way he came.

Outside Jinyin City, Zhao Hongming's long hair was flowing like black clouds, fluttering in the wind, reflecting his strong figure.

The bluestone under his feet was swept by him, and the aftermath was swept up behind him, as if his speed had already exceeded ordinary people's cognition.

This time he rushed back from Anyi, Hedong, and it took him five days to travel all the way with twists and turns.

Jinyin City has changed a lot since he left.

Zhao Hongming moved his mind, concealed his appearance, and successfully entered Jinyin City with some identity leads.

As soon as he entered Jinyin City, he found that there were suddenly many more warriors in the city.

After making some inquiries, he found out that many of them came from Zhao and Qi, and he was a little surprised.

Since this time, he has spent most of his time on the front line and is somewhat unclear about the changes happening behind him.

Zhao Hongming had doubts in his heart, so he did not stay in the city and went directly to his palace in Jinyin.

In the temporary palace in Jinyin City, Gao Yanshi, who returned early, stood guard at the door as usual, pacing back and forth and looking around.

The servant beside him said: "Eunuch Gao, you have been standing all day today, why don't you take a break?"

"The Zajia's body is not that weak, you go and do your business." Gao Yanshi glanced at him and said.

"Yes, yes, yes." The palace servants quickly bowed their heads in agreement, not daring to say more.

At this moment, Gao Yanshi saw a figure in front, his face changed, and he hurried forward to meet him, shouting: "Your Highness."

Zhao Hongming, who had already recovered his appearance, said: "During the time when I left, nothing happened, right?"

Gao Yanshi lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, there are indeed some changes, but they are all good things."

"tell me the story."

"Yes."

Gao Yanshi welcomed Zhao Hongming into the palace. As he walked, he sorted out all the information he had collected over the past few days and informed Zhao Hongming.

After listening, Zhao Hongming was quite surprised: "You mean there are more than 1 warriors in Luling who have signed up and met the conditions of Wei warriors?"

"Back to Your Highness, my servant collected this a few days ago. Maybe after Your Highness returns to Luling, the number will be even higher."

Gao Yanshi reported the impact of the battle with Li Mu in detail, allowing Zhao Hongming to fully understand the ins and outs.

"I didn't expect that after the first battle, there would be such a surprise." Zhao Hongming couldn't help laughing: "It's really interesting that these soldiers are fighting more and more."

"Not only that, I also found out that there are already four innate warriors in Luling who want to join the Wei warriors, and they are currently carrying out 'ideological education' according to His Highness's wishes. One of them seems to be a little dissatisfied and has been taken over by several hall masters. We worked together to drive them out, and the remaining three were relatively obedient."

Zhao Hongming was overjoyed. He was one step closer to building a Wei soldiers composed of innate warriors.

"What about other than that?"

Gao Yanshi thought for a while and said: "Zhang Yi wants to see His Highness. However, His Highness has been away a few days ago and he has not been able to do so."

Zhao Hongming muttered: "I have nothing to do now, let's meet."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will summon him right now."

"I am waiting for him in the main hall."

"it is good."

After a while, Zhang Yi, led by Gao Yanshi, entered the main hall of Zhao Hongming's temporary palace in Jinyin.

After seeing Zhao Hongming, Zhang Yi's face lit up and he knelt down and said, "I have met His Highness King Wu."

"Get up, I heard from Gao Yanshi, why are you looking for me?"

Zhang Yi said seriously: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are two things."

"tell me the story."

"First thing, I would like to recommend Li Li as the governor of Ying County."

Zhao Hongming didn't have a deep impression of Li Li. He only knew that he had some talents. Hearing what Zhang Yi said, he could understand a little bit.

"What about the second thing?"

"I want to send an envoy to the State of Zhao and ask the State of Zhao to formally cede thirty cities east of the river." (End of this chapter)
