The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 900: The dragon and the carp head show off the Northern Horse Qingyi...the guilty minister of Western Chu...see Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Yangzhou has been home to wealthy families since ancient times. If it hadn't been for an unjust war in the Spring and Autumn Period, which suppressed the Yangzhou Jiangzuo Group's limelight, the "nine-grade Zhongzheng System" would still be popular in the Central Plains countries.

When Beiliang and his party entered Yangchun City, they first found a restaurant to eat. The business on the second floor was booming. Not long after Xu Xin and the others sat down, they heard some not-so-quiet whispers.

The second floor was full of high-spirited talks and it was so lively. There are people everywhere chatting and talking loudly. This can be regarded as the custom of Jiangnan Road.

There are two warehouses in the world. The remote Beiliang is the horse warehouse, and Jiangnan Road is the granary of the world. It is the richest in the world. Many counties in Jiangnan Road have been rich in the seeds of reading in the past hundred years. The two gases of conversational spirit and staff spirit are very strong.

In the eyes of Jiangnan Dao scholars, no one can be criticized and nothing cannot be criticized. In the Taixue Imperial College in Liyang Capital, most of the students who like to give guidance to Jiangshan are from Jiangnan Dao.

"Have you heard? The empty-hearted prince of Beiliang is coming to our Huting County to visit his eldest sister. This pair of siblings, one is ignorant and the other is shameless, they are a perfect match."

"The dissolute widow was called a two-legged incense burner by Mr. Seizhai's wife. This statement is really wonderful."

"If you ask me, that slap was a good one! I heard some people who were at Baoguo Temple say that this dissolute widow actually smiled after being beaten. She really deserves to be a woman from Beiliang."

"Everyone, keep your voices down. I heard that something happened in the capital. The empress who wrote "The Female Ring" was thrown into the cold palace..."

"Humph, this world is really making us, the scholars, feel chilled!"

"No matter how much that reckless man from Beiliang covers the sky, can he reach out to Jiangnan Road?"

……

On the second floor of the restaurant, Xu Xin's expression remained calm as he listened to the remarks specifically directed at Beiliang. However, Xu Fengnian couldn't sit still and suddenly stood up to let these unclean guys drink their fill.

Xu Xin watched the Fengzi Battalion dispatched under the command of Xu Fengnian to beat this group of useless scholars who were industrious and indifferent to food and grain until they were so called polite, and he silently relegated these people to another book in his heart.

If we want to conquer the world in the future, how many circles will we need to draw on the map of Jiangnan Road?

In the past, people like Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang were too merciful. The nobles of the aristocratic families, the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system and so on, should all be swept into the garbage dump, as well as the celebrities in Jiangnan Dao who were romantic and talked about mysteries. The wind also needs to be cleaned up and down.

The Huting Lu family is one of the leading families of Jiangnan Road. The Lu family currently holds power in the generation of direct descendants, with a total of six people, including the most outstanding concubine of the same generation. They are also known as the Linlang Qiyu and the Lu family's seven heroes.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Daolin, held the noble position of offering wine to the Imperial Academy in the capital, while Xu Zhihu's nominal father-in-law, Lu Xuanlang, was in charge of Yangzhou, where the family was founded.

In addition, there is one person who devotes himself to Taoism, one escapes into Buddhism, and the other two are officials in Yangzhou, both of whom are of the fourth rank.

Finally, there is another person who practices martial arts, Lu Baijie, the concubine of the Lu family, who is twenty years younger than Lu Daolin. He has reached the first level of martial arts and is known as the Tangxi Sword Immortal.

Lu Baijie was also one of the few people in the Lu family who had a friendly attitude towards Xu Zhihu and had done helpful things.

……

The trip to the Lu family in Beiliang did not go smoothly, and they naturally encountered difficulties. However, after killing a careless steward, demolishing the middle door of the Lu family, and causing a commotion, everything was temporarily suppressed. Got off.

I don’t know if Xu Xin and the others happened by chance, or if someone did it on purpose. Within a few days, there was news that there was a "Debate of Overlords" at Baoguo Temple in Huting County, and Xu Xin and the others could just go and join in the fun.

According to geographical research, the ground in Huting County is the most suitable for peonies, which can cultivate the world's most amazing colorful flowers. At that time, two types of peonies, Yao Huang and Wei Zi, were unique to Huting County. They were sent to the capital as tribute. The flowers bloomed and fell for twenty days, and the whole city was crazy.

In Huting County, the peonies of Baoguo Temple are the most famous. In addition to Yao, Huang, Wei Zi, who is also known as the Peony Queen, there are also many precious treasures such as Qinglong Wohu, Zhaofen, Roufuong, etc., which are the best in the south of the Yangtze River.

The biggest pilgrim in Baoguo Temple is Widow Xu, who is now well-known in Jiangnan. She will come to burn incense and worship on the first and fifteenth day of every month, rain or shine. On the first day of this month, she was slapped in the Baoguo Temple.

On this day, the Baoguo Temple was bustling with people. Apart from the hundreds of celebrities who could participate in the so-called Qu Shui Tan Wangba, there were three to four hundred people watching, and the pavilions and pavilions were all packed with heads. When the so-called "Debate between Kings and Overlords" began, Xu Xin was bored and hiding and seeking among the peonies with a few beautiful maids, showing no interest in chatting or anything like that.

Xu Fengnian came over, but did not participate in the debate. Instead, he went to tease the pretty maid.

Among the peonies, Xu Xin held his arms full. Whether intentionally or accidentally, he happened to hug the reed that had not yet been brought into the room, which was the former Princess of Jing'an, Pei Nanwei.

"Keke, sister Luwei was accidentally caught by the young prince."

"If you are caught, you should be punished. Kiss someone, kiss someone..."

The young fish Wei and the red musk deer were making noises, and the blue bird also responded with a smile. Although Pei Nanwei was shy, he didn't seem to be resisting.

"coming!"

Xu Xin, who was holding Pei Nanwei, suddenly pulled off the blindfolded ribbon, turned around and looked back at a certain location, and saw a small pavilion in that direction, where a little clay figurine was practicing swordplay with Li Chungang.

The old sword god also suddenly ducked out of the way, blocking the steps of the pavilion, his sword intent raging.

This posture, as if facing a formidable enemy, was his first time since returning to the world.

A down-and-out middle-aged Confucian scholar in green shirt came from nowhere. When he was twenty steps away from the pavilion, he waved his sleeves together as if to dust off the dust to show his great respect. Then he knelt down suddenly and burst into tears. Word by word, say it through gritted teeth.

"Cao Changqing, the guilty minister of Western Chu, comes to see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at the figure.

Cao Changqing was a minister during the fall of Western Chu. There are few historical records of the fall of Western Chu. What is known is that he was born in a commoner clan and was weak in childhood. He became famous in Beijing with his chess skills. At the age of nine, he was called to the inner court. The emperor gave him "The Cao family's little pride". He promoted his family to the rank of scholar.

The Cao family is located in Longli County. In the future, Cao Changqing was also nicknamed Cao Longli.

Cao Changqing, a child prodigy in his youth, was just an ordinary Confucian scholar. He had been immersed in chess for twenty years. His chess skills were unparalleled in the university and earned him the reputation of Cao Touxiu. It was not until he was thirty-two years old that he first became involved in military affairs.

At that time, Cao Changqing first went to the southern border to take charge of a single army to resist the barbarians. He always made clever plans and defeated more with less in every battle, and then he was awarded the title of Cao Beima.

It's a pity that after the battle of Xilebi, the situation of Western Chu was over, the building was about to collapse, Cao Touxiu was unable to support himself, and the world could only flee across the rivers and seas.

When he reappeared, everyone knew that Cao Changqing, who was unfamiliar with bows and horses and swords, had transformed from Confucianism to martial arts, and suddenly became a martial arts master with a force worth millions. He won the reputation of Cao Guanzi with chess, and then used martial arts Learn what Cao Qingyi said.

In the past twenty years, Cao Changqing has been firmly in the top three in two martial arts reviews, and is unparalleled in the limelight.

In the past ten years, no less than twenty important ministers from Liyang were assassinated by the Tsing Yi who attacked the country. Every time they arrived alone, they would leave with their heads.

In the next ten years, he entered Tai'an City three times, entered the palace twice, and faced Zhao Li and Zhao Dun, the emperors of the two Liyang dynasties, face to face.

The latest time, he was only fifty steps away from Zhao Dun. If the cat Han Shengxuan hadn't escorted him and other masters secretly blocked the way, Zhao Dun's head might have been taken away from the crowd by Cao Qingyi.

It is said that Cao Qingyi once said with a smile to the emperor, the emperor's anger can certainly make the nine kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period lay down millions of corpses, but how about my anger?
