I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177 Yun Chang Comes to My House

At this moment, Wang Jing's words were sincere and his voice was gentle, which deeply moved Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They felt that Wang Jing was really a good man. The three brothers had been working hard for many years, but had they ever been valued so much by others?
If Liu Bei knew what they were thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.

Is Wang Jing a good person?
Are you blind?

As for Wang Jing, he came here today mainly to improve his favorability in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He did not take advantage of Liu Bei's misfortune. Instead, he asked the imperial physician to treat Liu Bei sincerely and did not intend to poison Liu Bei secretly.

After all, once something is done in this world, it will inevitably leave traces. There are so many top wise men in the Three Kingdoms. If the secret is revealed one day, it will be a disaster for oneself.

On the contrary, the more he tried his best to help Liu Bei, the more he was putting Liu Bei on the fire, making him helpless.

I have done my best for you, Uncle Liu. If you run away secretly with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who will dare to trust you and use you in the future?
Looking at Guan Yu leading the imperial doctors and busying around, you can tell that although he has been promoted and even has a higher official position than Liu Bei, the relationship between the three brothers is still very deep.

If you try to poach people now, there is a high probability that you will return empty-handed.

Fortunately, Wang Jing was not in a hurry, so he just pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei aside to chat, talk about daily life, and enhance their friendship. After a while, he became brothers with them.

There was no irreconcilable blood feud between the two sides. On the contrary, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very respectful of Wang Jing. After all, Wang Jing once defeated the three brothers head-on on the battlefield with his bare hands.

What's more, the Taiyuan Wang family behind Wang Jing also taught Guan Yu and gave him the "Ox-butchering Knife Manual".

Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask Wang Jing out of curiosity: "Yuan Xu, how did you develop such an astonishing skill? I think even if you have been practicing since your mother's womb, you can't be this powerful, right?"

Not to mention Zhang Fei, even Guan Yu was very curious about the powerful strength displayed by Wang Jing. He pricked up his ears to hear the answer.

Wang Jing smiled and said, "I practiced the supreme secret method of the Brahma religion, the Three Body Technique, which was introduced from the East, and learned the complete Three Corpse Technique from a stranger. Later, I also practiced many peerless magic skills, so I have such a strong force."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not familiar with the "Three Body Technique", but they were well-known for the famous Taoist "Three Corpses Technique".

The key point is that the mysterious skill of "Three Corpses Method" is extremely strange. Practitioners often have a hard time having a good ending and eventually go insane and die.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei instantly admired Wang Jing's decisiveness. After all, he was a ruthless man who dared to practice the "Three Corpses Method" and they could not afford to offend him.

Although Wang Jing’s cultivation level seemed absurdly strong, there were many more absurd things in the world.

After all, Wang Jing was only invincible in personal martial arts, while the son of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, was truly incredible. When fighting, he could even summon meteors and throw them at the enemy's head.

This is truly unreasonable and inhumane.

As a fighting maniac, Zhang Fei couldn't help but express his desire to compete with Wang Jing in martial arts.

"Yide, you can't do this. General Wei's body is worth a million gold, how can he casually fight with us?"

Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him, fearing that Zhang Fei would anger Wang Jing because of this matter.

After all, there was a huge gap in their status. Wang Jinggui was a general of the Wei Army and had great power in the court, while Zhang Fei was just a small county lieutenant with no reputation.

This isn't a competition at all; it's more like a provocation.

But what surprised Guan Yu was that Wang Jing did not get angry after hearing Zhang Fei's request. Instead, he nodded and agreed with a smile: "Why not? If Yide wants to spar, you can come to General Wei's mansion at any time. I will tell the guards on duty to let you in. Just come directly."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed. He didn't have many hobbies except drinking and fighting, so when he heard that he could compete with Wang Jing, the new emperor was very happy and even regarded Wang Jing as a confidant.

Wang Jing smiled and looked at Guan Yu again: "Yun Chang's swordsmanship is also extraordinary. Why don't you come to General Wei's mansion with Yide and discuss martial arts with me?"

Faced with such temptation, Guan Yu, as a military commander, wanted to politely refuse, but he could not escape the law of true fragrance: "Then... Yu will bother you."

"Hahaha, it's a deal then."

When Wang Jing saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both agreed, he was immediately delighted.

It was agreed that one should not take advantage of someone's misfortune. However, Wang Jing could not escape the law of truth after all. While Liu Bei was ill, he extended his "claws" to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

In Luoyang in winter, there is light snow falling like cotton wool.

On the second floor of Zuiyue Tower, in a private room facing the street, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were drinking and chatting, discussing the current situation.

All three of them were top-notch strategists of the time, so Wang Jing's various actions were quickly analyzed by them.

The wine in the cup was mellow and sweet. After being heated by the charcoal fire, Guo Jia drank it all in one gulp. His body immediately felt a burning warmth. "This is really good wine. Luoyang is indeed the place where the emperor lives. It is the best place. It is indeed a place with many talented people and beautiful scenery."

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "I'm afraid Fengxiao's drinking habit will never change in this lifetime."

"Hey, what's the fun of life without good wine?"

After drinking half a pot in one breath, Guo Jia laughed out loud: "It's refreshing. This wine is good in every way. The only drawback is that it's a bit expensive."

"Is expensiveness a shortcoming of wine? This is clearly your shortcoming. If you are short of money, why not seek a position as soon as possible? Then you can get the salary and rewards from the court. Are you still worried about not being able to afford the wine of Zuiyue Tower?"

Xi Zhicai had a joking expression on his face.

Guo Jia smiled and did not object, but he did not agree immediately either.

He was hiding in Luoyang on the orders of his master. Naturally, he was using his advantage of hiding in the dark to monitor Yuan Wei's every move and was not in a hurry to stand in front of the stage.

Xi Zhicai poured himself a glass of wine to warm his stomach before talking about another topic: "According to the news, the Zhong family exchanged for Qi Hou's forgiveness of past mistakes at the cost of Zhong Fu's resignation."

Xun Yu also shared the news he had heard: "Not only that, the noble families and powerful clans that did not respond to the rebellion of Zhong Ji and Wang Fu in this battle have also begun to formally turn to Qi Hou, and have sent their sons to join the New Party and serve the Northern Army."

"Fengxiao, what do you think about this?"

Guo Jia held the wine glass, letting the warm wine reflect the falling snow outside the window: "Using the emperor to control the princes is a very clever method."

Xi Zhicai asked with a smile: "Oh? Didn't Dong Zhuo also use the emperor to control the princes? How is it different from what he is doing now?"

When talking about Dong Zhuo, Guo Jia showed a disdainful expression: "Although Dong Zhuo is a fierce tiger in Xiliang, his political skills are too poor and he does not have the vision to accurately judge the current situation. When he led his troops to the capital, he was not powerful enough to subdue the noble families in the world. He should have taken his time. But Dong Zhuo is so eager to win over famous people from all sides and make them work for him. How stupid is this approach?"

Xi Zhicai obviously agreed with Guo Jia's point of view, but then he smiled and asked: "Feng Xiao, what do you think Dong Zhuo did wrong?"

Guo Jia answered without thinking: "He was wrong in the order of doing things. In comparison, Qi Hou's approach was much smarter. He established his authority before showing kindness, which made the noble families grateful."

Both Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai saw this matter clearly.

When Dong Zhuo first came out of Xiliang, although his military strength was not weak, his reputation was insufficient. Therefore, no one in Luoyang was willing to submit to him. Even many civil and military officials from prominent families did not take Dong Zhuo seriously.

Dong Zhuo’s mistake was that no one knew his own importance in the eyes of others, so he still had all kinds of unrealistic fantasies.

Wang Jing, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. He didn't bother to win anyone over. He just started beating those who refused to obey him one by one. After he was done beating them, the rest of the people were completely convinced.

Guo Jia's remarks made Xi Zhicai burst out laughing, and he teased him, "Feng Xiao, you are really harsh. Could it be that in your eyes, the noble families and the barbarians outside the Great Wall are all the same in that they fear power but not morality?"

"Human nature is like this. How can there be any distinction between inside and outside?"

Guo Jia came from a poor family, so he always had a cold attitude towards aristocratic families.

The two of them sang the same tune, which made Xun Yu next to them unable to bear it. He knocked on the table in dissatisfaction and said, "I say, you two, please don't treat me as if I don't exist, okay? After all, my Yingchuan Xun family is also among the ranks of aristocratic families. Even if you want to say something, please don't say it in front of me."

"Wen Ruo is a modest gentleman, I'm sure he won't mind."

"I'm sorry, I really mind."

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and then started talking about the guild.

"Wen Ruo, what's the result of the investigation that I entrusted you to do before?" Guo Jia had never had a deep understanding of the guild organization and was a little confused. The main reason was that he didn't understand how incredible the industrial revolution brought about by new technologies was.

Xun Yu didn't understand it either. He replied, "The Xun family did participate in the plan initiated by the Silk Weaving Company. The profit was indeed very amazing, almost five times more than farming."

"Lure them with benefits? If it's just that, it's a bit too frivolous. Can money alone pull all the noble families into the chariot?"

Although he got the answer, Guo Jia still had too many questions in his mind.

In fact, it was not only Guo Jia who had doubts. Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai also failed to see what Wang Jing's plan goal was.

In their view, the most important things in the struggle for world domination are soldiers, horses, money and food, and simply having money is obviously far from enough. Wang Jing's approach of vigorously developing commerce and supporting craftsmen is too non-mainstream in this era.

After all, the Chinese civilization at that time was still a pure agricultural civilization, and the mainstream consciousness still attached importance to the farming and warfare system established by the Qin State.

Farming involves food.

The potential for war is directly affected by population size.

On the contrary, the business path has been suppressed and excluded in all dynasties.

As a result, Wang Jing now did the opposite, which made Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai unsure of Wang Jing's thoughts, so they needed to understand them in depth.

Both of them were in a carefree mood, but one person was very depressed.

Luoyang, County Government.

Liu Bei, who had just recovered from a serious illness, lay on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, like a salted fish that had lost its vitality.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and Liu Bei immediately asked loudly: "Second brother, third brother, are you back?"

In the end, neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei showed up. Instead, the butler walked in and said, "Master, the second and third masters are still at General Wei's mansion and have not returned yet."

This was the news Liu Bei least wanted to hear. They were obviously his second and third brothers, so why did they run to Wang Jing's house all day long!

Could it be that the two of them have changed their hearts and forgotten the brotherhood of Taoyuan among the three brothers?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Liu Bei became. However, what made Liu Bei depressed was that he could not express his dissatisfaction and anger, so he could only hold it back in his stomach.

Second brother, third brother, I hope you can soon realize your mistakes and return to your side as your big brother!
Liu Bei looked at the heavy snow outside the house, but his mood was colder than the floor.

clang~ clang~ clang~
In the backyard of General Wei's mansion, amidst the flying snowflakes, Wang Jing, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, each holding a weapon, were fighting with each other. The swords and knives flashed and the sounds were clanging.

"Hahaha, come again, come again!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, obviously ready to have a good fight.

Guan Yu held the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, and every strike had the power to split mountains and crack rocks: "Yuan Xu, be careful!"

"Come on, let's have a good time today."

Wang Jing held the sword in one hand and was still able to easily defeat two enemies at once. The Chunjun sword in his hand opened and closed with great force and power. Every time he slashed, the power was so unmatched that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to concentrate all their attention to just barely parry.

However, despite being suppressed by Wang Jing, the two were not annoyed. Instead, they felt a sense of pleasure that they were about to break through.

It was only because of this battle that Wang Jing deliberately squeezed their potential, allowing them to withstand enough pressure, and then continuously accumulate strength and break through themselves.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei completely let go and each displayed their own unique martial arts skills.

Three styles of spring and autumn!

Iron Wing Spear!

For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere in the training ground in General Wei's backyard, and there was thunder and lightning. The three men were seen fighting with swords and spears, and the battle became more and more intense.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if burning with flames and flashing with lightning.

They could feel a new power brewing in their bodies, like a volcano gradually heating up and boiling, ready to erupt.

The road to martial arts has always been fought for!
If you want to carry on the past and move to a higher level, the only way is to fight!

The martial arts aptitudes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are among the best in the entire Three Kingdoms, but if a warrior wants to make progress, he needs enough pressure and the right opportunity.

And Wang Jing is exactly this opportunity.

"How is it, can you still bear it?"

Wang Jing's sword force gradually increased. Every time he swung out his sword, it was as powerful as thunder and lightning. The force was like a surging wave, sweeping towards the two of them one after another.

And each wave was stronger than the last. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei began to feel exhausted and had to grit their teeth and hold on: "Come again!"

It is not so easy to break through your own limits.

An ordinary martial arts master of the second level can make continuous progress as long as he builds up his strength day and night and strengthens his muscles and bones. However, if he wants to reach the third level of martial arts, both talent and skills are indispensable.

When one reaches the fourth realm of martial arts, it is no longer something that can be achieved through hard work and practice alone. One also needs talent and understanding that surpass that of ordinary people.

As for breaking through the four realms, entering the fifth realm or even the sixth realm of martial arts, and entering the ranks of truly top-notch peerless powerhouses, which one of them did not break through the threshold of life and death and go through countless life-and-death battles to enter such a realm?
Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Wang Yue, the Sword Saint, one of the four greatest martial artists, all went through thousands of fierce battles. Only after achieving perfect resonance of essence, energy, and spirit could they break the limits of the human body and hone their martial arts to perfection, reaching the pinnacle.

Now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are stuck at the peak stage of the fourth realm of martial arts. If they want to break through this bottleneck, they can only go through the ordeal of life and death again to have a slight chance.

On weekdays, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei often sparred with each other, but they were sworn brothers after all, not mortal enemies, so how could they possibly fight with all their strength?

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

But now when fighting with Wang Jing, they don’t need to hold back, because the one who needs to hold back is Wang Jing!
Wang Jing has complete control over every bit of his own strength, so he can easily exert heavy pressure on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that is as heavy as death, but he can also stop his attacks at the critical moment to avoid really killing them.

"It's the limit, the final blow!"

As the pressure gradually increased, Guan Yu felt as if his body had turned into a piece of porcelain that could shatter at any time. He roared and slashed at Wang Jing with his sword.

This blow was made with all his strength, gathering all the energy, spirit and spirit in his body!

The third strike of the Spring and Autumn Three Styles is also the final strike!

This move was learned by Guan Yu from Zuo Zhuan, which is called "checking for omissions and filling in gaps". It is also his strongest sword move. Every time he fights with a strong enemy, Guan Yu's sword intent will become more powerful, endless and infinitely transformative!
"And I!"

Zhang Fei's snake spear also stabbed out fiercely, like thunder sweeping a hole, heading straight for Wang Jing.

The last shot of the Iron Wing Divine Spear, the years are passing by!

Zhang Fei learned this move from seal script. The spear technique contains the true meaning of calligraphy, which can be described as a brilliant chapter stained with ink, and the intention to bind the blue dragon!

The cursive script is heroic, the seal script is vicissitudes, and it is stabbed out with one stroke, free and unrestrained, as if the years have passed, recording the eternal elegance of Chinese civilization.

Since surrendering to Wang Jing, Zhang Fei finally had the opportunity to learn the secrets of calligraphy from Cai Yong, the world's number one calligrapher. He also had the opportunity to observe the precious collections of the imperial family and see with his own eyes the inscriptions on bells and bronzes from the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Taking the words literally, Zhang Fei felt that the ancient sages led the human race to overcome difficulties, cultivate the land with swords and fire, and expand the territory, which led to the prosperity and magnificent China today. Therefore, he finally perfected the idea of ​​improving the last move of the Iron Wing Spear.

At this moment, the Zhangba Snake Spear suddenly stabbed, and the breath of ancient wilderness came to his face, as if the past years turned into a dazzling golden light, flowing invisibly in front of Wang Jing's eyes.
