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

Chapter 203 Li Mu’s anger, Bi Daoshou’s temptation
After completing his mission, Zhang Yi did not choose to stay because of the prosperity of Handan City.

After getting the corresponding documents, he declined the banquet hosted by Emperor Zhao Guocheng and returned directly.

At present, Li Mu was "recuperating" and was away from court, so Pang She put a shit basin on his head.

After Li Mu reacted, his first fear was that he would be operated on.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many examples of killing enemy envoys to express their determination to fight to the death.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

He didn't want to take that risk.

Jia Qifang, a young traveler who received envoys from various countries, sent Zhang Yi and his party outside the palace.

"Jia Xingren, please stay." Even though Zhang Yi wanted to rush back as soon as possible, there was no trace of anxiety on his face, and there was even a bit of calmness on his face.

Jia Qifang asked with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty is going to host a banquet for the envoy tonight. Why doesn't the envoy stay in Handan City for a few more days?"

Zhang Yi said sincerely in a calm and unhurried tone: "Sir, our two armies are fighting in Hedong County now. If I bring back your country's goodwill earlier, we can end the war one day earlier. It can also reduce casualties, so I don’t dare to slack off.”

After listening to Zhang Yi's answer, Jia Qifang couldn't help but feel in awe.

"In this case, I won't say more. I hope the envoy has a safe journey."

"With your Lord's good words."

Zhang Yi held the reins, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "Master Jia, is there a person named Su Qing in your court?"

"Do you know Su Qing?" Jia Qifang said unexpectedly: "He used to be a retainer in Pang Xiangguo and met me. He felt that he would not be reused in Zhao State, so he went to Yan State not long ago."

"I see." Zhang Yi felt a little regretful, got on his horse and said, "Green mountains are always there, and green waters are always flowing. We will meet again later, Mr. Jia."

"There will be a period later."

"drive!"

Zhang Yi left Handan City on horseback with his guards. After successfully passing through the Handan City Gate, he galloped on horseback, and his figure quickly disappeared on the distant horizon and blended into the mountain forest.

Not long after he left Handan City, a piece of news about "Li Mu was timid and incompetent after his defeat, and Emperor Chengxiang had to cede thirty cities east of the river" spread in Handan City, and it spread in a short time.

Li House.

boom!
Li Mu, who had received the news earlier, turned gloomy and clear, and became extremely ugly. He smashed the tea set on the table to pieces.

He looked at the guest Shi Weishi who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "Did you ask me to pretend to be sick to have such a result?"

Shi Weishi knelt on the ground and said in fear: "My subordinates are incompetent. I never expected that King Wu of Wei would send an envoy to ask His Majesty to cut off the city, and I never expected that they would agree."

While speaking, Shi Weishi buried his head on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

"I think you have no real ability at all, and you missed my big event!" Veins popped up on Li Mu's face. The evil energy accumulated in him from years of fighting began to emerge.

Shi Weishi suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his skin stung as if he had been pricked by needles. He begged for mercy, shaking like chaff: "General, forgive me."

Li Mu realized that his emotions were a little out of control, so he quickly closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down his sea-like anger.

After a while, after suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Mu said: "The reason why Your Majesty and others are willing to agree is mostly because Pang She, an old man, wants to take advantage of this plan to suppress me so that I will not stand up. Wei King Wu’s envoy just happened to meet him."

After calming down, Li Mu seemed to become even more terrifying.

Everyone in the lobby felt that the atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing, as if even breathing became difficult.

Ji Guofu and other core cadres who were also in the lobby were all silent and did not dare to breathe a single breath.

Some old men who had been with Li Mu for a long time knew the temper of their general.

Shi Weishi was afraid that he would be blamed for this, so he had no choice but to die to apologize.

"If I want to remedy the situation now, what can you do?" Li Mu stared at Shi Weishi and said coldly.

Shi Weishi immediately said: "The matter has come to this, there is only one way left."

"any solution?"

"Kill the envoy of King Wu of Wei and destroy the boat. Then the evaluation of the general in Handan City will be ruined."

Li Mu nodded, thinking this was a good idea.

He inquired that this time King Wei Wu's envoys came in the name of envoys to Zhao State. Once they killed King Wei Wu's envoys, it would be equivalent to tying the entire Zhao State together and they would have to continue to fight with King Wei Wu. Combat.

And when he started to kill the envoy, he cut off his retreat and no longer dared to say that he was timid.

Li Mu asked: "Where is King Wu of Wei's envoy now?"

The men looked at each other, and Ji Guofu volunteered: "General, please wait a moment while I go to inquire about the news."

"it is good."

Ji Guofu clasped his fists and walked out quickly.

However, not long after the meeting, he ran back and said hurriedly: "General, the envoy has left earlier."

Shi Weishi was like a thunderbolt, his spine was pulled away, and his whole body collapsed.

At this point, it is obvious that there is no remedy.

Clang.

Li Mu threw down a sword directly in front of Shi Weishi and said coldly: "They say the Lord humiliates his ministers to death, you can decide what to do."

Shi Weishi knew that he was to blame.

He picked up the sword with trembling hands, pointed it at his throat, roared, and pressed down hard.

The sword passed through his throat, revealing the bloody blade.

The red blood flowed along the sword towards the ground, and within a few breaths it turned into a large pool of blood spreading around.

Ji Guofu and others standing around couldn't help but take a step back.

Shi Weishi's body gradually became cold as the pool of blood spread.

Don't blame Li Mu for being cruel.

After adopting Shi Weishi's stupid strategy, the balance between him and Pang She that had lasted for many years was completely broken.

Li Mu knew that Pang She's power would continue to grow for a long time to come, and it would be difficult for him to improve.

Under this situation, if he wants to lead troops to fight again in the future, it will be difficult for him to control the rear area.

In any case, one person must be responsible for such a result.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to control the people in his hands.

Li Mu looked at Shi Weishi's cold corpse, sighed and said, "Let's give him a decent burial. His orphans and widowed mothers will be taken care of by the government from now on."

"General righteousness."

"General righteousness."

"..."

All the core subordinates around him stood up and complimented him.

Li Mu's face was expressionless, full of worries about his next situation.

……

Luling, Yingjun, Prince Wu's Mansion.

A carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

King Wu Zhao Hongming got off the carriage.The war on the front line had basically stabilized and he didn't need to worry about it anymore, so he simply returned to Prince Wu's Mansion, intending to seize the time to practice and improve his cultivation.

He didn't go back to Luling for nearly two months. When he came back, Zhao Hongming didn't know if it was his imagination and found that Ying County seemed to be much more lively than when he left.

The streets are already crowded and bustling with people.

All kinds of hawking can be heard all the time.

Even at the entrance of Prince Wu's Mansion, a group of inexplicable warriors gathered, looking around.

When Chang Wubing learned that King Wu had returned to his residence, he had been waiting at the gate of Prince Wu's residence early. When he saw Zhao Hongming, he quickly stepped forward and paid homage: "Your Highness."

This time when troops were deployed in Hedong, Chang Wubing did not go with him. Instead, he guarded Luling under Zhao Hongming's order.

Zhao Hongming glanced at Chang Wubing and said jokingly: "Guard Chang, you are looking better and better now that you have broken through the congenital queen."

"This is all the credit of His Highness, and I am just taking advantage of it from behind."

Zhao Hongming smiled and changed the subject: "What's going on with these warriors at the door?"

"Your Highness, it's said inside."

Zhao Hongming nodded and walked into Prince Wu's Mansion with his head held high.

bang.

The dull sound of the door closing came from behind.

At this time, Chang Wubing said: "Those outside the door are all disciples of the Ming Cult. They thought that the leader of the Ming Cult was with His Majesty, so they were waiting at the door outside the palace."

When he said this, Chang Wubing gave Zhao Hongming a strange look.

There is no Ming Cult leader, Wei Wuji, in the world. There is only one in front of him, the fifth prince of the Wei Kingdom, King Wu Zhao Hongming.

But he couldn't announce these things to the outside world, and those Mingjiao disciples were destined to be disappointed.

"Hahaha, then they may not be able to wait until next year."

Zhao Hongming didn't take it seriously and said as he walked in the direction of Taihe Palace: "When I was in Jinyin City, I heard that warriors from various countries came to join the Ming Cult. What is the situation now?"

When it came to the matter of Mingjiao, Chang Wubing's expression became much more serious. He thought for a while and said: "Return to Your Highness, there are now thirty thousand disciples of Mingjiao all over Ying County, and those who are qualified to join Wei Wuzu are There are also [-] warriors."

"so much?"

Zhao Hongming's face showed some emotion.

He knew that after he defeated the Haoran Sect Master, many warriors from various countries poured into Ying County, but he really did not expect that the speed would expand so fast, far exceeding his expectations.

From this point of view, Mingjiao is obviously already a first-class "martial arts force" in Wei State.

Zhao Hongming did not expect that the casual layout at that time could develop to this point.

"With the Mingjiao framework, can so many warriors be restrained?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, we are now the only one in Ying County and control all the water transportation of Ying River. We can basically barely support it." Chang Wubing said truthfully: "Judging from the current situation, there are still many Wu Fu is on his way to Ying County. If we want to expand the growth, it will be difficult to say what happens next. "

Zhao Hongming mused: "Next, the thirty cities in Hedong will most likely belong to us. The Mingjiao can find a way to integrate the forces in the thirty cities in Hedong. With the foundation of Yin State, there is no need to worry even if there are 10 people. .”

"Of course it's best to let these Mingjiao disciples be transformed into Wei soldiers. My father gave me one hundred thousand soldiers and armor, but I haven't reached the full force yet, so don't waste it."

Chang Wubing looked solemn and said, "I understand."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

At this time, Zhao Hongming heard a girl shouting not far away.

He walked in quickly and saw a familiar woman standing in a garden outside Taihe Palace.

This woman is none other than Bi Lingjun, the master of Zhengyi Sect.

Why is she here! ?

Zhao Hongming suddenly had a bad premonition.

Next to Bi Lingjun stood a young girl.

This girl is still young and not tall.

She wore a simple robe embroidered with light green flowers and a silver gauze skirt that set off her slightly dark skin.

Sometimes she frowns and thinks, sometimes she jumps for joy. Her cute appearance makes people like her and get close to her.

Zhao Hongming knew this girl. She was the sister brought here by Zhang Yi, and her name was Yan Tingting.

He remembered that when he first came here, he was thin, with a sallow face and skinny muscles, just like an ordinary little boy.

After more than half a year of recuperation, her body stretched out like a willow branch. At such a young age, she already had breasts that were no less than Bi Lingjun's.

And the face that originally looked like a boy also transformed into a petite loli face.

At this time, Yan Tingting was exercising her body under Bi Lingjun's cold gaze, with a depressed look on her face, and she was babbling non-stop.

Bi Lingjun seemed to sense something. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, revealing an unfathomable aura that was awe-inspiring.

She has a graceful face, skin as white as snow, and long hair as long as ink, combed into a high bun. She is wearing an indigo gauze skirt and is full of fairy spirit.

An arrogant and cold temperament emerges from it, as if he disdains contact with the world.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhao Hongming put a smile on his face and walked away as usual.

Because he was under Bi Lingjun's watchful eye, he did not dare to form a formation at will, for fear that the other party would see the clues.

He only silently operated the secret aura technique in [Desolate Secret Journey], partially hiding the energy and blood on his body.

Zhao Hongming walked over and said slightly humbly: "I have met Master Bi. The arrival of Master Bi has made my little Prince Wu's palace shine! I have been running around and have not fulfilled my duty as a landlord. It is really a bit embarrassing. Feel sorry."

A flash of light flashed in Bi Lingjun's eyes, and he glanced at Zhao Hongming up and down, feeling a little surprised.

She moved slightly closer and walked in front of Zhao Hongming.

Waves of fragrant wind filled his nose, making Zhao Hongming nervous instantly.

The two of them faced each other, only thirty or forty inches apart.

Zhao Hongming could even see the size and details of the tear mole on Bi Lingjun's eyebrow corner.

At this time, a white cold air spread from her body.

Endless ice and snow emerged in the void behind him.

The biting wind howled behind him.

The next moment, endless ice energy rushed toward Zhao Hongming from behind her.

The cold air coming out of it was like a steel knife.

Zhao Hongming felt that his whole body and soul were freezing.

It just so happened that his soul was damaged and had not yet recovered, so he was unable to withstand such an offensive from a ninth-level martial artist.

The possibility of using it has been lost without even a trace of fluctuation being heard.

Just when he thought Bi Lingjun was going to kill someone and silence him, these visions disappeared instantly.

"Your Highness's energy and blood seem to be a little strong. Are you still practicing martial arts?"

At this moment, Zhao Hongming immediately understood that Bi Lingjun was testing his background!
