I can see the hidden conditions of martial arts

Chapter 109 Return to Baiyun County and see Huarong again
After hearing Ling Feng's reminder, Zhou Lin led his army to stop in front of the city gate and did not move forward. The civil and military officials and the others were very puzzled.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Even the eldest prince Zhou Yu in the restaurant in the distance could not help but frown, "What's going on? Did he find a problem?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The second prince has just returned from a victory. How could he pay attention to these minor details? Besides, is he also proficient in these etiquettes?"

The man next to Zhou Yu was also puzzled.

city ​​gate.

An official stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace, why haven't you entered the city yet?"

"Master Wang, this ceremony is wrong. According to the etiquette system, my class teacher only needs seven flags and three drums to return to the court. You have the wrong number."

Zhou Lin said loudly.

The official quickly called the official from the Ministry of Etiquette to ask. The other person took one look and suddenly started sweating with fear, "What, what's going on?"

"Quickly, take away the extra imperial flags and drums. Who told you to take them out? It's so, so lawless!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were furious and quickly corrected themselves.

If Zhou Lin enters the city and is read by someone who wants to, Zhou Lin, the prince who has returned triumphantly, will be severely punished. Not to mention, he, the Minister of Rites, will definitely go to the extreme. In serious cases, it will threaten his family and life.

Thinking of this, he was extremely glad that Zhou Lin understood everything clearly.

After correcting the etiquette, Zhou Lin led his army into the city. The people lined the streets to greet him, while Zhou Lin sat on his horse and waved to the people.

At the restaurant, Zhou Yu slapped the man next to him on the face with a gloomy expression, "Didn't you say it's foolproof? Why are you still being discovered?"

"I, I didn't know that the second prince actually knew etiquette."

"Hmph, useless thing."

Zhou Yu snorted lightly and looked at the high-spirited Zhou Lin with great jealousy.

Zhou Lin also noticed Zhou Yu in the restaurant. He was thoughtful, and Liu Chongfeng next to him said: "As for etiquette matters, I think it is most likely the eldest prince who is causing trouble. Your Highness, do you want to do it in front of His Majesty? Read his book."

"No, he can make excuses for such a trivial matter. Now that I have returned victorious, my power is at its peak. But the more times like this, the more we must act more steadily. Chasing him now will only arouse my father's displeasure.

However, he is able to manipulate the etiquette system, which shows that his people have already sneaked into the Ministry of Rites, so the Minister of Rites should pay more attention to it.

The Ministry of Rites is my people, and I don’t want any more trouble. "

Zhou Lin thought for a moment and said slowly.

Liu Gongfeng nodded, "Yes."

Several people were on their way back to the palace, but suddenly, when Zhou Lin passed by the center of the royal capital, he saw a large number of workers working in full swing near the Tongtian Terrace, and a large amount of bricks, tiles, wood, stones and other building materials were piled next to them.

He frowned, "What's going on?"

"Back to Your Highness, these days, the eldest prince has advised His Majesty to speed up the construction of Tongtian Tower, and the affairs of the overseas islands have also verified that what the National Advisor said is true. In order to stabilize the national destiny and prevent similar things from happening again, His Majesty ordered The Ministry of Industry is going all out to build the Tongtian Tower," said an official nearby.

"Just after the war, we wasted a lot of manpower and material resources to build a tower with no purpose. Isn't my father really afraid of arousing public anger?"

Zhou Lin sighed helplessly.

Liu Gongfeng next to him quickly reminded, "Your Highness, you have just returned from a victorious battle. Please do not conflict with Your Majesty over this matter. If His Majesty thinks that you are proud of taking credit, not only will you not be able to help the people, your great cause will also be frustrated."

Zhou Lin nodded slightly, "I have my own sense of proportion."

soon.

When Zhou Lin returned to the palace, Emperor Zhou praised him highly in the court and rewarded him with many gold, silver and jewels.

the other side.

Ling Feng did not return to the palace immediately.

Instead, he came to Liu Ruomei's residence and learned about what happened in the royal capital recently, but nothing major happened.

The matter of Tongtiantai has been put on the agenda again.

Emperor Zhou asked the Ministry of Works to complete the project within a year.

"One year... I'm afraid the people will suffer."

Liu Ruomei sighed.

The seven-year project was shortened to one year.

The human and material resources that will be wasted in this can be imagined.

Even though the Zhou Dynasty had a strong national power, it would still be a struggle.

Ling Feng thought thoughtfully, "His Majesty already has great trust in Taoist Tongtian. Now that the bandit incident in the islands has happened, he believes in Taoist Tongtian's words even more. It seems that no one can stop the construction of Tongtian Tower. "

"Yes." Liu Ruomei shook her head helplessly, and then she thought of something, "By the way, Master, some time ago, there are already clues to the thunder attribute essence that you brought to my attention. It was the news from Sister Hua.

She said that recently in Baiyun County, a new master has emerged. He is good at using a domineering thunder method and has defeated many masters in Baiyun County. Even Bai Chuchen, the leader of Baiyun Sect, was defeated by this person.

The most important thing is that this person is less than thirty years old, and his cultivation is only at the early stage of Xiantian, but he can defeat the middle stage of Xiantian, and even the late Xiantian suffers in his hands, all because he has a strange orb in his hand.

I think that should be related to the thunder attribute essence that the young master is looking for. "

Rafa?

Hearing this, Ling Feng became a little interested.

"According to rumors, more than 20 years ago in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a warrior who was good at using thunder magic. He became famous for a while, but later, the warrior with thunder magic died in the hands of the leader of the Xuanming Demon Cult. Unexpectedly, the Xuanming Demon Cult has recently He faintly reappeared in the world, and even the thunder magic warrior also appeared, is there any connection between them?"

Ling Feng touched his chin and thought to himself.

He did not go to Baiyun County immediately, but asked Liu Ruomei to continue to pay attention to the whereabouts of the thunder magic warrior.

Back at Tianxin Palace, the maids in the palace didn't know what Ling Feng had been doing during this time, and they were very excited to see him back.

"My lord, you are finally back."

"If you don't come back, we won't know what to do."

They were originally sent to serve Ling Feng.

Without Ling Feng, they had no one to serve, so they naturally didn't know what to do. They even thought they would be sent somewhere else.

Ling Feng smiled slightly, "I just went out to travel for a while, so why panic, Xiao Cui, prepare a basin of water for me, I want to take a bath."

this time.

He had been secretly following Zhou Lin to protect him, and he had never even taken a hot bath. Although he was already a master, his body had long been dust-free and spotless.

But the habit he had developed for a long time still made him want to take a bath as soon as he came back.

After washing up and changing into clean white clothes, Ling Feng felt a lot more refreshed.

After a while.

Emperor Zhou came in person with the eunuch, and after letting the palace maid leave temporarily, he began to ask Ling Feng about the details of the expulsion of the Islanders.

Ling Feng covered up Zhou Lin, and Liu Yuan knew the fact that he was following him, so he recounted what he saw and heard.

However, Emperor Zhou was not a fool. As long as he secretly sent others to follow him, he would naturally be able to see clues from some of Zhou Lin's actions.

So Ling Feng said: "Although I have never appeared in front of the second prince, I have taken action secretly. He seemed to be aware of it, and his actions and strategies became much bolder. He sent Liu Gongfeng away from his side to complete the attack on the people of the islands.

In addition, this time, apart from Hai Feihu and other innates, the people of the archipelago also participated.

Finally a grandmaster came!This person's name is the Fire Dragon Island Master, and he is very powerful. I fought hard with him for a long time before I killed him. "

"Did even the Grand Master actually take action? The Islands have really been coveting my land in the Zhou Dynasty for a long time." Emperor Zhou snorted softly.

After some inquiries, Emperor Zhou did not stay in Tianxin Palace for long.

Ling Feng also asked Emperor Zhou for a leave.

I plan to visit Baiyun County in the future, and of course Emperor Zhou will allow it.

Besides, he couldn't stop Ling Feng from leaving.

After seeing off Emperor Zhou, Ling Feng sat in the garden, thoughtful, and began to review the first battle in which he killed the Grandmaster.

Killing the owner of the Fire Dragon Island was not as hard a battle as he told Emperor Zhou.

On the contrary, he was not serious.

He just used the opponent as a tool to test the [Shocking Dragon Sword Technique] and divine will, but there was one thing that made him quite concerned.

"When I used the [Shocking Dragon Sword Technique], the Fire Dragon Island Master immediately recognized this sword technique. Not only that, he also saw that I had practiced this sword technique to a perfect state. He seemed to be very interested in this sword technique. familiar."

"But this is Taoist Tongtian's unique martial arts. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for Taoist Tongtian and Liu Yuan, basically no one can use it. How did he know about it? Or maybe there is someone between Taoist Tongtian and the overseas islands. kind of connection..."

The overseas archipelago has not invaded Da Zhou for many years.

However, at this stage, they invaded the Great Zhou Dynasty and made Emperor Zhou more convinced of Taoist Tongtian's words and accelerated the construction of Tongtian Tower...

Is there a relationship between the two?

Ling Feng felt as if he had caught the tail of the truth.

"Maybe if I have time, I should go overseas..." Ling Feng thought to himself.

Not only because of Taoist Tongtian's relationship, the martial arts in the overseas islands are no worse than those in Dazhou. It might be helpful for him to travel there.

There is no end to martial arts.

He also wanted to get a glimpse of the scenery above the Supreme Master.

the other side.

In the Tianyi Palace, the dead servant Xiao next to Taoist Tongtian was reporting to him some things about the islands. When he learned the news of the death of the Fire Dragon Island Master, he frowned, "The Fire Dragon Island Master is very powerful and has been promoted. Grandmaster, it has been ten years, who can kill him within the Great Zhou Dynasty??"

Suddenly.

Ling Feng's name came to his mind.

"Did Ling Feng... also go to Donghai County? Did His Majesty send him there, or did he hide it from everyone and go there himself to protect the second prince?"

Tongtian Taoist was thoughtful.

The nature of the two is completely different.

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Although Emperor Zhou has great trust in me, he also has his own calculations in his heart. Between the two princes, which one does he prefer?"

Taoist Tongtian thought to himself, but then shook his head, "No matter who he prefers, as long as he can build the Tongtian Tower for me.

Once the Tongtian Tower is established, everything will be a foregone conclusion! "

…………

"Haha, Ling Zongfeng, come here, I'll toast you."

In Tianxin Palace, Liu Yuan raised his wine glass and toasted to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng smiled lightly and said, "You are very happy during this time."

"Of course, during this period, the Second Prince is highly regarded by His Majesty. Did you know? Today in the court, His Majesty also intended to let the Second Prince preside over this scientific examination. You must know that this is a great opportunity to cultivate party members! I even want to leave this kind of thing to His Highness, which shows how much I favor him.”

Liu Yuan smiled.

"Where's the eldest prince?"

"Well... the eldest prince hasn't done much recently. He just did a few ordinary errands in the capital, such as trying to catch officials who cut corners, or personally purchasing the construction materials for the Tongtian Tower. He seems to have a heart. They all threw themselves on the Tongtian Tower." Liu Yuan also said with some confusion.

Does this Tongtian Tower really have such great energy?

Even the eldest prince doesn't care about party strife?
Or does he really believe that Tongtiantai can stabilize the national destiny?Do you really care about Dazhou and want to build it as soon as possible?
"Although the eldest prince is weak now, he still cannot take it lightly. In addition, the second prince is now at the peak of his power, but he must also restrain his sharpness a little. If his sharpness is too strong, it may cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction."

Ling Feng drank a cup of tea and said calmly.

Liu Yuan said thoughtfully, "Well, I understand."

"By the way, I have to leave the capital for a while."

"What? Are you leaving?"

Liu Yuan was a little surprised, then frowned, "You are His Highness's biggest supporter now. Once you leave, if Taoist Tongtian takes action midway, no one in the entire royal capital can stop him."

"Don't worry, Taoist Tongtian will not take action easily. Firstly, the second prince has a half-step master like you beside him. Secondly, if he attacks a favored prince in the royal capital, he will only want to completely break up with His Majesty."

Ling Feng said calmly that he was not worried that something would happen to Zhou Lin after he left.

In his opinion, Taoist Tongtian attaches great importance to the Tongtian Tower and will not make any moves easily before the Tongtian Tower is built.

Liu Yuan also thought it made sense, "By the way, what are you going to do?"

"Go back to Baiyun County and visit old friends."

"I see, you must be talking about Bai Chuchen. I heard that he recently lost to a young master who has just emerged recently. That man's name is Lei Ao. He is good at thunder magic and seems to be a physical practitioner who should not be underestimated. "

Liu Yuan said that he also had his own intelligence network.

I have also heard about the young master Lei Ao who has appeared recently.

"Speaking of which, part of the reason why I went to Baiyun County this time was because of this Lei Ao, the thunder magic warrior. It's interesting, isn't it?"

"My [Thunder Finger] can barely be considered half a thunder technique. I also want to try it. Unfortunately, at this time, I have to sit in the capital and guard His Highness."

Liu Yuan showed a trace of regret.

The two talked for a while.

The next day.

Ling Feng quietly left the palace, left the royal capital, and flew directly to Baiyun County with his sword. Along the way, he overlooked the magnificent mountains and rivers in the sky, dressed in elegant white clothes. Occasionally, someone looked up at the sky and saw a figure flying through the clouds with a sword. When he passed by, he exclaimed, thinking he was a sword fairy.

To exaggerate, some people kowtow and worship.

It was thousands of miles away from the royal capital to Baiyun County, but with Ling Feng's sword-wielding speed, it only took one day to get there.

This was the result of him not going all out.

I truly achieved a morning trip to Beihai and Mu Cangwu.

He is like a swordsman in the world.

When he arrived at Yancheng in Baiyun County, he went straight to the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters. Compared with the past, this headquarters had not changed much.

It’s just that this place is no longer called the Chief Helmsman of the Black Tiger Gang.

It was renamed Huafu.

The owner of Hua Mansion is none other than Huarong.

At this moment, she was practicing in the courtyard. When she danced with a knife in her hand, fire burst into flames. It was like starting a prairie fire. Her cultivation had reached the innate state.

This is thanks to the elixirs that Ling Feng has refined from time to time over the years.

He did not use all these elixirs himself.

Some sent people to send Huarong, and some sent them to Baiyun Sect.

Because of this, Huarong was able to break through the innate realm that ordinary people could not break through in ten years or even decades within two years.

But after all, the qualifications are limited. In Ling Feng's view, if Hua Rong does not have amazing fortune in this life, he is afraid that he will stop being innate and have no hope of becoming a master.

Ling Feng's figure landed in the courtyard, watching Hua Rong practicing martial arts without disturbing her until the other party finished practicing a prairie fire sword technique.

She turned around and saw Ling Feng, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It took a few seconds for him to come back to his senses, and he quickly walked up to Ling Feng, half-kneeling on the ground, "I've seen the young master!"

Her tone couldn't contain her excitement.

Speaking of which, it has been nearly three years since we last saw each other.

"You're welcome. Under your management, the Black Tiger Gang has grown in power and is now the number one gang in Baiyun County."

Ling Feng smiled.

Not only in Baiyun County, but also in several other counties, it is also quite prestigious.

"These are all due to the help of the young master behind the scenes. I dare not take credit."

"Ha, I told you that you don't have to be so reserved. In addition to visiting you, I am here for Lei Ao when I return to Baiyun County. Please tell me about Lei Ao's whereabouts first," Ling Feng said.

"Yes, Young Master, we have sent people to investigate this Lei Ao. His appearance was extremely sudden. I have never heard of a person like him before. It was as if he suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The only connection is the martial arts thunder method he used.

27 years ago, there was also such a warrior who used the thunder method to impress the great Zhou Dynasty. However, the man's surname was not Lei, but Ye Nan. He later died in the hands of the Xuanming leader. Since then, thunder has not been used in the world. He is a famous warrior, well, if Tongtian Taoist's Thunder Finger can be considered as a thunder method. "

"Thunder Finger is not a real thunder method. Although it can turn the true energy into thunder, most of its power lies in the strength of its fingers. It is only half a thunder method at best."

Although Ling Feng has not yet perfected [Thunder Finger], with his knowledge, he can still see the essence of this martial art.

The fingering content is better than the thunder method.

"It turns out that the last time Lei Ao appeared was when he defeated Bai Chuchen, the leader of Baiyun Sect, on Baiyun Mountain. Then he seemed to realize that someone was watching him, threw away our people and disappeared, but as long as he is in Baiyun County Within the range, the Black Tiger Gang will be able to find him sooner or later."

"Well, I know. I will go to Baiyun Mountain to meet Chuchen tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay in Baiyun Sect temporarily. If you have any news, you can send someone to inform me." Ling Feng nodded slightly.

Hua Rong was a little disappointed when she heard that Ling Feng did not plan to live here, but she still nodded, "I will ask people to try their best to find out about Lei Ao."

"Okay, in addition, the skills you have practiced have reached their limit, and there is no more progress. I will teach you a brand new skill later, but how far you can practice depends on your own destiny." Ling Feng road.

"Thank you sir."

Then, Ling Feng passed the [Tan Hua Chunyang Heart Sutra] to Hua Rong. Under his careful teaching, the other party was still unable to get started.

This is a ground-level skill, and there are still requirements for practicing qualifications.

Hua Rong was a little disappointed, but she was even more afraid that Ling Feng would be disappointed in her, so she looked away from Ling Feng.

Ling Feng chuckled and said: "No need to worry about it. In this way, I will leave the information about Lei Ao to others. You follow me to Baiyun Sect, and I will teach you personally. If you try it a few more times, you should be able to get started."

With a famous teacher like him to guide him, he couldn't believe that Huarong would never be able to get in!
