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

Chapter 201 My son is so fierce

Daliang, Wei State, Qianqing Palace.

"His Majesty."

The palm eunuch Feng Dabao walked in quickly from outside the palace and trotted to the side of Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu.

Emperor Jian'an, who was immersed in handling government affairs, said casually while reviewing the memorial: "What's the matter?"

Feng Dabao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard the news that Sect Master Haoran is injured."

"Oh?" Jian'an Emperor Zhao Meixu paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and said: "I remember that Sun Tingwei in the court now is a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect. Do you think you can arrange for him to do this? How about the Minister of Civil Affairs?"

After a while, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu did not get an answer from Feng Dabao.

He put down what he was doing, looked up at Feng Dabao, and found that he was hesitant to speak.

"What, is there something wrong?"

Feng Dabao hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty has a distinguished reputation, and in my opinion, if given the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Sun Tingwei is obviously suitable. But..."

Emperor Jian'an showed a somewhat dissatisfied look: "Just what? Why are you hesitating today?"

Feng Dabao cupped his hands and said, "It's just that your Majesty doesn't need it anymore."

"Huh?" The puzzlement on Emperor Jian'an's face became even heavier.

Feng Dabao then said: "It was not Bi Daoshou who defeated Master Haoran. It was Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Cult!"

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly stood up from his position: "You mean..."

Feng Dabao lowered his head and remained silent, saying no more words.

Emperor Jian'an understood instantly.

He walked to the long desk, clasping his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in excitement.

"Have you confirmed the news? Is it a mistake?"

"Your Majesty, this old slave has confirmed from many sources that it is correct."

Emperor Jian'an couldn't help but clench his hands, and they were trembling slightly.

Since he came to the throne, he has always kept his emotions in check in front of many ministers. Even those close to him can control his emotions very well.

But after learning the news, he could no longer remain calm.

The leader of the Ming Cult, Wei Wuji, had an unknown origin and appeared beside Zhao Hongming out of thin air. His style of conduct and many martial arts were collected in his royal martial arts building.

He didn't need to think about it, he could only know that Wei Wuji was the identity borrowed by his fifth brother, Zhao Hongming.

It turned out that he thought that his fifth prince was a rare martial arts genius, and his breakthrough into an innate martial artist despite the suppression of national destiny was enough to amaze him.

Unexpectedly, he was still conservative.

Now it seems that Zhao Hongming not only broke through to the martial arts realm, but also reached the point where he could defeat the leader of the Haoran clan without paying attention.

That is one of the top martial artists in the world.

Emperor Jian'an was already extremely shocked.

You must know that Master Haoran has been famous for a long time, and is no longer weak among the leaders of the major forces in the Six Kingdoms. At least he is not much different from Prime Minister Bi Dao of the first sect, and is the world's leading martial artist.

Such a person was actually defeated by his 16-year-old fifth son.

After this incident, it meant that the Wei State had two warriors whose combat prowess could reach the ninth level of martial courage.

And one of them is a member of his royal family.

How could Emperor Jian'an not be excited by this?
'I didn't expect that my son would be so vigorous!He is now not only the pillar of the Wei Kingdom, but also gives our Wei Kingdom family the possibility to control their own destiny for the first time in hundreds of years. '

Emperor Jian'an clenched his hands tighter, even the joints turned white from the grip.

In comparison, Bi Lingjun was not allowed to take action, saving him the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the wishing stone, but it seemed insignificant.

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately asked Feng Dabao: "Not many people know about King Wu, right?"

Feng Dabao's expression became solemn and he said: "Reporting to your majesty, I have been keeping an eye on those people, and no information about King Wu has been leaked. Others probably don't know the details and methods of His Highness King Wu."

"That's good, the big tree attracts the wind." Emperor Jian'an nodded and said: "My King Wu is thoughtful and always very independent. He may have his own concerns about borrowing Wei Wuji's identity in Ying County. Before he is unwilling to reveal his identity to the outside world, , let’s not leak any information here. Otherwise, if others find out, I’m afraid they will take action against him.”

Feng Dabao knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly agreed: "I understand."

As if he thought of something, Emperor Jian'an suddenly asked: "Where is Master Bi now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Master Bi is still in Ying County. I heard that she is currently in Prince Wu's Mansion in Luling."

"In Prince Wu's Mansion?!"

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu had a bit of worry in his brows.

Last year, Zhao Hongming beheaded Li Shengnan and his father Li Xuewu. Although he used some connections to hide them and suppress them, Bi Lingjun was not a fool and had already discovered some clues.

Maybe he was suspicious this time, so he stopped in Luling.

Emperor Jian'an didn't have much to do about this.

Facing the martial arts forces in the world, he, the emperor, did not have much binding power, not to mention that he was still on the border thousands of miles away, and the royal power was even beyond his reach.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jian'an's face froze, something suddenly occurred to him, and he ordered: "Feng Banban."

"The old slave is here."

"Go and send Chen Mou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to the imperial study. I have something important to ask him."

"Yes." Feng Dabao did not ask the reason, and planned to make a trip in person at the order of Emperor Jian'an.

Looking at Feng Dabao's generous back, Emperor Jian'an murmured to himself: "Perhaps the God and Demon Weapon can be recast. It has a suitable owner, and it shouldn't be given up like that."

……

fifteen days later.

Handan City.

The gate of the Zhao Kingdom's palace is tall and majestic. There are several guards in bright armor standing on both sides of the gate, ready to go.

Not far away on both sides, there was a pair of Zhao guards patrolling back and forth.

Outside the gate of Zhao's palace, there was a man dressed in simple clothes, holding an envoy's staff and standing straight.

This man is Zhang Yi who came all the way from Yingjun as an envoy.

Behind him stood a group of six Wei soldiers, each wearing a sword and armor, majestic.

This was when he was passing through Anyi in Hedong County. Wu Qi, who was stationed in Anyi City, specially sent someone to escort him to protect his safety.

The Wei warriors following him had just come down from the battlefield, and they had a fierce aura all over their bodies. Most people would not dare to approach them at will.Therefore, the whole journey was smooth without any setbacks.

At the main entrance of the Zhao Palace, a royal guard wearing precious armor and a Zhao official came out.

The leading Zhao official, wearing a brown robe, walked quickly to Zhang Yi.

He clasped his fists and said, "My lord envoy, I am Jia Qifang, a young traveler from the State of Zhao. Please come here."

Zhang Yi said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Thank you!"

Among the six kingdoms, the Da Xingren were in charge of the princes and the princes' ministers' courtesy, while the Xiao Xingren were responsible for receiving the princes' envoys.In addition to receiving envoys, they are also responsible for carrying out diplomatic activities on behalf of the country's envoys to the four princes.

To a certain extent, in addition to being a disciple of King Wu, Zhang Yi now also has the responsibility of a pedestrian.

Zhang Yi took the six Wei soldiers behind him and entered the Zhao palace under the leadership of Jia Qifang.

The style of the palace of Zhao State is very different from that of Wei State.

The Zhao Kingdom Palace in front of you has a unique architectural style.

The palace has a rectangular plan and is surrounded by high walls. There is a towering pagoda in the center of the spacious square. There is a wide avenue in front of the palace that leads directly to the palace gate.

The exquisitely carved doors and windows, the wavy tile roofs, and the huge mahogany pillars were stacked into a crisscross palace complex, which deeply attracted the attention of Zhang Yi and others.

Especially the six Wei warriors behind him. They were all low-level warriors and had never seen such a scene before.

While they were walking, they maintained their formation, but if you look carefully, you will find that their eyes were wandering around, observing the buildings in the Zhao Palace.

If it weren't for the royal etiquette that Zhang Yi repeatedly explained before entering the palace, they would have been unable to hold back at this time and would have screamed again and again.

There are multiple halls and palaces inside the palace of Zhao State, and most of the walls are painted with different patterns. Through these patterns, we can see the exquisite craftsmanship of Zhao State and the wealth of Zhao State.

It is indeed a first-class powerful country.

Even the state of Wei cannot compare with it in this regard.

Following Jia Qifang, Zhang Yi and his party walked through the palace passage and arrived at a main hall.

Jia Qifang stopped and said, "This is the place where our Zhao State specially receives envoys from various countries. Envoy Zhang is here to invite you."

Outside the palace, Zhang Yi had already proved his identity to Zhao Guo, and Jia Qifang's attitude towards him was relatively respectful.

Zhang Yi's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he walked into the hall first.

Inside the main hall, huge gold ornaments are hung above the high hall, shining brightly.The surrounding pillars are inlaid with rubies and jaspers, emitting bright light and making them extremely gorgeous.

However, there is no bustling atmosphere inside the palace, but more solemnity and tranquility.

In the center of the hall stood a tall throne, which looked solemn and peaceful without losing intimacy. At this time, a middle-aged man was sitting on the throne.

He wears mainly red and blue robes.

Zhang Yi looked confused.

From what he knew, Emperor Chengxiang of Zhao State should be only in his twenties, and he should not look so old.

Even if he was a hypocritical emperor who was ostracized by Zhao's aristocratic family and martial arts forces, he wouldn't have to worry to this extent, right?

Zhang Yi was quite puzzled.

On both sides of this middle-aged man, there are two guards standing guard. Their eyes are alert and their expressions are solemn, which makes people feel awe.

Jia Qifang took the initiative to introduce: "This is Prime Minister Pang Shepang. This is the envoy of King Wu of Ying County, Zhang Yi."

Is it Pang She? !

Zhang Yi was quite surprised.

He knew that Zhao Guo Pang She and Li Mu were somewhat disrespectful, but he did not expect that they would be so arrogant.

He was sitting directly on the main seat in broad daylight.

The Zhao Kingdom's rituals and music have obviously collapsed, and the power of the royal family has fallen away.

It seems that the royal family of Zhao Kingdom will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the previous week.

Zhang Yi put aside those random thoughts and said with a respectful expression: "King Wu's envoy Zhang Yi pays homage to Master Pang Shepang."

"It turns out that you are just a young boy. King Wu actually asked you to be a lobbyist. It seems that he does not have many talents available under his command." Pang She glanced at Zhang Yi up and down and said critically.

After Zhang Yi heard this, he smiled instead of getting angry: "Hahaha..."

Pang She frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"

Zhang Yi said: "There are rumors outside that Panda has a keen eye for people. It seems that they are all false rumors. King Wu is willing to let me, a young boy, be a lobbyist entirely because His Highness King Wu has many talents and I am stronger than them. And This huge man can’t even see it.”

"The State of Zhao is a big country, and His Highness King Wu is at best a prince of the State of Wei. Your status, Panda, is much higher than ours. In this case, sending envoys is an extremely important matter. Even if thirty cities east of the river in the State of Zhao are captured, King Wu dare not ignore it."

"How could he casually send an incompetent person as an envoy to Zhao? Aren't you afraid of being humiliated or annoying your powerful country? So it's not that King Wu has no one under his command, but that I am more suitable."

The disdain on Pang She's face gradually subsided.

He asked: "I wonder what envoy Zhang is doing when he comes to our country this time?"

Zhang Yi said: "To be honest, my Majesty the State of Wei learned that King Wu had triumphantly returned and planned to send 20 troops to attack the State of Zhao again. My Highness could not bear to start another war and make the State of Zhao miserable again, so he asked me to go as an envoy to the State of Zhao to avoid this. war."

Pang She said calmly: "May I ask the envoy how to avoid it?"

"The State of Zhao can cede thirty cities east of the river."

Pang She's face changed slightly, then quickly calmed down and said, "What a joke. Do you think it's possible?"

Zhang Yi didn't take it seriously and said: "At present, the thirty cities of the Zhao Kingdom have been occupied by my Highness, and the Haoran Sect Master has also been defeated. When I set out, the master of the Bi Sect was already in Ying County. When the 20 troops arrive, don't leave. When it comes to the thirty cities in Hedong, we have the ability to capture the entire Hedong County and even Taiyuan County."

"Actually, the State of Zhao is a big country. Thirty cities are just a drop in the bucket, and the birds in the east of the river are silent and the flowers are not fragrant. It will not hurt you much if you cede them. And ceding the cities will also be of great benefit to the huge people. Why? Are you happy but not doing it?"

"Oh? What good can I do?" Pang She asked.

Zhang Yi said: "Whose fault is this ceding of the city?"

Pang She said without thinking: "Li Mu."

"That's right. The fall of thirty cities in the east of Hedong is entirely Li Mu's fault and has nothing to do with you. If it were ceded to His Highness King Wu, Li Mu would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Zhao Kingdom. With this incident, Li Mu It will be difficult for them to turn around again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I still hope that Panda will seriously consider it."

Zhang Yi's words made Pang She enlightened, and a trace of emotion appeared on his face: "What you said is very involved, I will consider this matter first."

Seeing that he had persuaded Pang She, Zhang Yi stopped worrying: "This time I am on my mission to Zhao, I should meet the monarch of Zhao. Otherwise, it is not in line with etiquette. I hope Sir Pang will do it."

Pang She was thinking about Zhang Yi's words and said indifferently: "His Majesty is behind the main hall, you can go directly to see him."

"Thank you, Master Pang." Zhang Yi cupped his hands, looked at Jia Qifang and said, "I hope the little pedestrian will lead the way."

Jia Qifang, a young traveler, was impressed by Zhang Yi's words, and his attitude suddenly became respectful: "Envoy Zhang, please come this way, and I will take you to meet His Majesty."
