Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 98 Return to the Capital

After an hour of integration, Zhao Mu finally completed the entire Beiming Divine Art.

Although he had mastered the martial arts on the scroll, Zhao Mu always felt that something was missing. This Beiming Divine Skill seems to have only internal skills and no corresponding external skills.

Perhaps Wu Yazi did not teach the external skills of Beiming Magic to Li Qiushui back then. Or maybe Tianshan Tonglao and Wu Yazi are in charge of the external and internal skills of Beiming Divine Skill.

After all, Zhao Mu remembered that when Xu Zhu took Wu Xingyun to avoid being chased by Thirty-Six Holes and Seventy-Two Islands, Wu Xingyun taught Xu Zhu how to hit people with pine cones, and Boss Wu recognized at a glance that Xu Zhu was using the Beiming Magic Technique. method.

Zhao Mu looked at the entire picture and couldn't find anything similar to this. Come to think of it, this Beiming Divine Skill really seems to have only internal skills and not external skills.

But Zhao Mu was satisfied. He knows his qualifications well enough to avoid biting off more than he can chew.

After Zhao Mu succeeded, he immediately tried his Beiming Divine Skill.

Although he didn't know that his Bei Ming Shen function couldn't take away people's inner energy for his own use. But Zhao Mu was able to achieve the state of retrieving objects from the air without resorting to martial arts such as Dragon Capturing Kung Fu and Crane Controlling Kung Fu.

Zhao Mu raised his hand and sucked a stone from the ground into his palm using the technique of Bei Ming Shen Gong.

Zhao Mu looked at the stone in his hand and couldn't help laughing. His laughter was wild and treacherous. There is always a way that the villain looks like after he succeeds.

Fortunately, he was in a cave in the Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute Valley, far away from the residences of Su Xinghe and Shi Qinglu. If they heard him, they might think that Zhao Mu had gone crazy while practicing martial arts.

Zhao Mu calmed down his mood, and now he felt that he was a super-matched Ren Wo Xing. He finally experienced the "miraculous power in hand, I own the country" momentum of the movie version of Dongfang Invincible.

However, Zhao Mu was not very interested in these thousands of miles of land. After all, being an emperor was not as happy as being a prince. Since he already belongs to the Xiaoyao Sect, he naturally wants to be free from the world.

The next day, Zhao Mu said goodbye to Su Xinghe and Shi Qinglu, left Tiande Mute Valley and headed for the capital.

After all, he had already mastered the Beiming Magic Technique, and he also had martial arts that he could rely on. Even if his senior brother could teach him something else, Zhao Mu was not in the mood to learn it. Besides, the eldest brother is getting older, and unlike Wu Xingyun and Li Qiu Shui, he is not as fussy at his age. Zhao Mu also didn’t want to work too hard for Senior Brother.

Two days later, Zhao Mu stood in front of the city gate of Tokyo Bianliang City, the most prosperous metropolis in the world.

Although today's Bianliang City is not the same as Chang'an City during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. But when it comes to the level of prosperity, it is no less impressive.

Zhao Mu looked at the gate of Bianliang City with many feelings.

He remembered that three years ago, he and his mother took a carriage from the Escort Bureau to Daizhou, which was far away on the border.

Now the three-year period has arrived

However, Zhao Mu did not intend to retaliate against anyone.

Not counting those who died in infancy, Prince Dongping had six sons including Zhao Mu. There happened to be three brothers and three sisters.

The eldest brother Zhao Yong inherited his father's throne as the eldest son.

The second brother Zhao Si, although not the eldest son, was still a direct descendant, so he was demoted and granted the title of county prince.

Zhao Mu also has three half-sisters. All three of them were granted the title of princess by Emperor Shenzong's special grace, and they have already married into other famous families. The eldest sister married into the Huyan family of Prince Zhongxiao, the second sister married into the Yang family of Tianbo Prefecture, and the third sister married into the Chai family of Prince Xiaoshang.

The eldest brother, second brother, and third sister are all direct descendants of the princess. Moreover, the princess of Prince Dongping is from the Chai clan. The third sister was able to marry into Prince Chai's Mansion because of her status as a princess.

Although his brothers and sisters, as well as the princess, hated their mother and son.

But if you hate it, you will hate it. At most, it will just ignore you or roll your eyes to show that you look down on you.

They are not treated harshly like many novels. When the princess distributed the monthly salary to each house every month, not a single cent was less than that of their mother and son.

After the father's death, the property should belong to Zhao Mu, mother and son. As the mistress, the princess did not withhold a penny and gave it all to them. The princess even liked the layout of the small courtyard where Zhao Ji lived before. Before Zhao Ji finished observing her filial piety and left the capital, she converted it into money and gave it to Zhao Mu and her son, as if she had bought it.

When Zhao Mu's life was not as good as that of the capital, Dai County was very poor on the border. Because Zhao Ji was from a humble background, she could not see the poor people selling their sons and daughters, so she subsidized some of the royal property she brought with her. The local government provided relief to the people in Zhao Mu's fiefdom.

The other part was reserved by Zhao Ji to help Zhao Mu manage relations in the capital and find him a daughter-in-law from an official family so that he could return to the capital. In addition, Zhao Ji also wanted to train her son to become a hero like his father, so she always let him live a poor life to temper his son's will.

As for Zhao Mu's brothers and sisters, they have little interaction with Zhao Mu's mother and son because of their age and background.

Don't even want to look at them.

Even though they were biological brothers, they had not spoken a few words to Zhao Mu for so many years, and they had not spoken a word after his father's death.

Zhao Mu and Zhao Ji said sincerely that these relatives treated their mother and son well. At most, they have a bad attitude and look down on their "humble" background.

However, in Zhao Mu's eyes, this is not too much. After all, the princess, her two brothers and her third sister, mother and son, are all members of the royal family, whether they belong to the father's family or the mother's family. He is a true nobleman of Tianhuang.

Although the eldest sister and the second sister were also born from concubines, their maternal families were also first- and second-rank official families.

As for Zhao Mu's mother being a "skinny horse" presented to the King of Dongping County, Zhao Mu was originally a concubine, and his mother was a geisha. It is normal for his mistress, two aunts, and brothers and sisters to look down on their mother and son. .

Moreover, Zhao Mu later learned that although his father had begged him to become the Marquis, his father's power alone was still a bit too small.

However, as the father's last wish, the eldest sister, the third sister, and the princess, although very reluctant, also made a lot of efforts.

Without the joint sponsorship of Prince Zhongxiao and Prince Xiaoshang, as well as the three princes of Dongping County Prince's Palace, Zhao Mu, the bastard born to Ji's concubine, would have left home with a sum of money at most and become a minor official as an ordinary member of the clan. Children. There is no chance of becoming a marquis at all.

Therefore, Zhao Mu didn't have any resentment towards his relatives, but he didn't have much goodwill either.

It's just that in Zhao Mu's eyes, his brothers, sisters, and the princess and aunt are his most important human resources.

Jianghu and court are not all about fighting and killing, but more about human relations. After all, you can't kill everyone.

With this blood relationship, whatever Zhao Mu needs to do in the future, it will be easier to have the help of these powerful relatives.

Of course, this would have to wait until Zhao Mu made a name for himself with his own abilities, gained the emperor's appreciation, and returned with his mother in glory.

Only when you have the status and strength to be equal to them, can you have the qualifications to sit with these high-ranking nobles and talk calmly.
