Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

To be honest, there is still a lot of water in the star ratings set by these systems.

For example: Tai Xuan Jing, which can be practiced to the peak of Grand Master, and Ming Yu Gong, which can only break through to Grand Master at most, both belong to one star level.

Of course, what concerned Kou Zhong the most was the elixir, which consisted of ten deer live grasses, ten mango red clams, ten tubes of two-star evolutionary fluid, thirty blood bodhisattva, three thousand Bodhisattva snakes, ten pounds of black Jade Intermittent Cream.

There are also four zero-star treasures, namely the Three Thousand Jun of Cold Iron, the Three Thousand Jun of Meteoric Iron, the Yuan Blue and White Firing Method, and the Blueprint of a Multi-Oar Boat.

Both cold iron and meteorite iron are excellent materials for making weapons, and can be used to create magical weapons that are not inferior to the Yitian Sword.

The multi-oared ship was created by Feng Zhan, the commander of the navy in the Southern Song Dynasty, who combined the strengths of several ship types to create "a lake ship bottom, a war ship cover, and a sea ship bow and stern". It used 42 oars and could carry 200 soldiers. It could be used in rivers, lakes and seas. There are 623 ships.

Generally speaking, although the can did not reveal a two-star or higher treasure this time, it was very practical for Kou Zhong.

The time soon came to the third quarter of the hour, and the cooks and maids in Chu Gong's mansion had prepared fine wine and delicious food.

A group of civil servants and military generals came from outside one after another, arming themselves with each other and looking happy. Among them were Zhang Xutuo, who had just joined the Chu State.

"Brother Shubao."

"Let me tell you, our Highness is not an ordinary person."

"Today's banquet is not just a banquet. Maybe your errands will be settled tonight."

"Also, if you see any void creatures later, don't be surprised. His Highness has a storage ring in his hand with a large storage space."

Xie Yingden, who was the first to join the Chu State, reminded Qin Qiong and others with a smile.

Kou Zhong's storage ring and the methods of void creatures are no longer a secret among the senior leaders of Chu State.

After all, Kou Zhong always comes up with some new gadgets, whether they are martial arts, magical weapons, or magical elixirs.

"Ah, this?"

Qin Qiong and others were a little confused after hearing this.

They were not surprised that banquets were put together with military functions.

Because even the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty often rewarded his officials during banquets.

But these 'storage rings' and 'void creatures', if they hadn't known Xie Yingden for many years, they would have really thought that Xie Yingden had been brainwashed.

On the other side, Zhang Xutuo was chatting happily with Li Jing. After all, Li Jing was Han Qinhu's nephew and the two were no strangers. Jia Wuben was standing with his son Jia Runfu, whispering that the father and son had not known each other for many years. I met you, but I didn’t expect that we would meet here and work together next.

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone is here!"

"I just finished practicing, so I'm late."

suddenly.

A warm male voice reached everyone's ears.

A figure in azure brocade clothes came into everyone's sight, with her hair tied up in a jade crown, looking indescribably handsome.

"Master Ling!"

Chen Laomou, Bu Tianzhi, Xie Yingdeng and others quickly greeted them.

At this time, Zhang Xutuo and the others who had just joined realized that this seemingly handsome young man was actually Xu Ziling.

Suddenly, a hint of respect arose in their hearts. After all, Xu Ziling's reputation for defeating 12 Sui troops with an army of [-] marshals had already spread throughout the world.

(bbfe) In the eyes of the people of the world, there are three people in Chu State who must be mentioned. The first is Chu Gong Kou Zhong, the second is Xu Ziling, and the third is Fu Junma.

The former is already extraordinary and holy, the two are supreme commanders and young masters, and the last one is in charge of the most mysterious Jin Yiwei in Chu State.

In the battle of Jiangxia, three hundred Jinyi Tiqi killed thousands of righteous people, including many masters. Although Fu Junma did not take action, the Jinyi Guards were already notorious for their evil reputation.

"No need to be polite, let's go in first."

"I think Miss Fu and the others should be inside."

Xu Ziling's face showed a smile as warm as the spring breeze, and he nodded.

Then everyone followed him and entered the lobby of Duke Chu's Mansion. Sure enough, besides Kou Zhong, there were several figures sitting inside.

They are Fu Junwei, the commander of the Jinyiwei capital, Hou Xibai, the military advisor, Xu Xingzhi, who joined the army as a recorder, Lu Miaozi, the Mogongyuan Zhenglu, Zhengshang Xiuxun, the pastoral supervisor, and Jiang Ba, Li Junxian, the commander of the Jinyiwei commander.

As for Shen Luoyan of Zhibingdian Army, Zhou Shaofan, Admiral of Donghai Navy, and Chai Shao, General of Yuhang Zhonglang, they were still in Jiangdong and it was inconvenient to come.

"Master Ling."

"You're a little late, kid."

"However, since you have already broken through to the level of Grand Master, today's penalty meal will be waived."

Kou Zhong, who was sitting in the first place, could tell the difference between Xu Ziling at a glance. The two of them practiced the longevity secrets and felt something about each other.

what?

Hearing this, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes and look at Xu Ziling.

Unexpectedly, as Koo Zhong entered the realm of Grand Master, Xu Ziling would also become a Grand Master. This was amazing.

There is no news of a Grand Master being in charge of any of the great sects or aristocratic families in the world. Only the Buddhism, Taoism, Demon Sect and other rivers and lakes forces have a Grand Master. Of course, Song Que, the leader of the Song Clan, Tian Dao Song Que, and Yu Wen Clan, Yuwen Shang It has not appeared for many years.

But there are two grand masters in the newly established state of Chu, plus Fu Junma, who is at the peak of his master's level and a half-step grand master. The upper-level martial arts world is simply not too strong!

"Young Master Zhong."

"You can't just let me hide for a little longer, I still want to pretend!"

Xu Ziling pretended to be helpless and shook his head.

"Hahaha!"

Kou Zhong couldn't help laughing.

Even though their status has changed, the relationship between them is still as good as ever.

This scene fell in everyone's eyes and they secretly remembered it in their hearts. Xu Ziling must be the No. 1 person who followed Kou Zhong all the way.

"Your Highness, you are ready."

At this time, Yun Yuzhen, the chief steward of Duke Chu's mansion, stepped inside to report.

"it is good."

"Arrange the pouring of wine and serving of food. Don't be restrained. Let's talk about it after eating and drinking."

Kou Zhong waved his hand and said casually.

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, and then quickly took their seats.

Putting all the civil and military officials from Chu State together, there were half a hundred people sitting here.

Perhaps because of the easy-going nature of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, everyone present was not formal, but relaxed and happy.

There was a drinking fight here, a high-pitched conversation there, and the whole atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious. Shang Xiuxun, who was participating in this kind of event for the first time, looked at Kou Zhong who was like a star in the crowd, and his big bright eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Miss Fu, Miss Shang, try my new wine. This is made from the peach blossoms picked in Jiangdu this year."

Yun Yuzhen had a bright smile on her face and stepped forward to greet Fu Junma and Shang Xiuxun.

"it is good."

Both Fu Junma and Shang Xiuxun knew that the beautiful woman in front of them was Kou Zhong's predecessor. Although they were not physically related, she would definitely be included in the family in the future, so they did not object to contact with Yun Yuzhen. In this way, the three women formed a family. The small circle drank peach blossom wine.

...

In a large manor in Poyang County, Song Yuzhi pouted, a little unhappy.

Today, a grand banquet is being held in Duke Chu's Mansion. Shang Xiuxun can attend, but as an outsider, it is difficult for her to join, so she will inevitably feel a little unhappy.

"Yuzhi."

"Don't be angry with the tree, come here quickly."

"Dad has a letter, telling us to do something important."

Song Shidao walked out of the study, looked at Song Yuzhi, shook his head helplessly, and waved.

"it is good."

Song Yuzhi quickly entered the study and saw his second uncle Song Zhi sitting there, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

What on earth did they need to take so seriously?

"Yuzhi."

"What dad means is that my second uncle and I need to sign an alliance with Duke Chu here, and we don't have time to spare for the time being."

"I want you to bring some people and gifts to Duzun Fort in Shuzhong to visit Uncle Xie."

Staring at Song Yuzhi, Song Shidao said solemnly.

"Big brother."

"Did something happen to eldest sister?"

Song Yuzhi's face froze, his brows furrowed, and he spoke immediately.

Before Song Shidao could speak, Song Zhi, the Earth Swordman on the side, patted Song Yuzhi on the shoulder and warned, "Yuzhi."

"You are a smart kid. You have to be strong since you were a child, but there are some things that we can't just let others see being strong."

"Sometimes, temporary indifference is to stir up bigger waves, do you understand?"

"Second uncle, don't worry, I understand."

Hearing this, Song Yuzhi nodded seriously, his eyes particularly bright.

At this time, Song Shidao spoke to her and said, "Jie's family cooperated with Buddhism, and Jie Wenlong imprisoned my eldest sister for three years."

"what?"

Song Yuzhi almost lost his composure and was furious.

If Xie Hui didn't have Song Que's backing, how could Duzunbao possibly defeat the Sichuan Gang and the Bamong League and become the largest force in Sichuan.

For the sake of cousinship, Song Que even married his eldest daughter Song Yuhua to Xie Hui's eldest son Xie Wenlong. How dare the Xie family do this? !

Mrs. Song Que died early, and Song Yuhua, the eldest sister, was almost a sister and a mother at the same time. How could Song Yuzhi calm down when he heard that Song Yuhua had ended up in such a miserable state.

"Yuzhi."

"This time you enter Duzun Castle to meet eldest sister."

"But don't make this matter public. We'll talk about it when my second uncle and I arrive."

Song Shidao once again gave Song Yuzhi a few words.

"Eldest brother, second uncle, are we just going to watch my eldest sister being bullied like this?"

Song Yuzhi couldn't help but question.

Seeing this, Song Shidao and Song Zhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They had just explained to Song Yuzhi, but the girl turned around and forgot.

"Yuzhi."

"Your third uncle is already mobilizing [-] elite soldiers and quietly entering Shu."

"Tomorrow we will discuss this matter with Duke Chu. This time, everyone in Duzun Fort must not let go."

"So, before that, all grievances will be tolerated for now. Do you understand?"

"In order to vent your anger on your eldest sister, no matter how angry you are, you must calm down, because our Song clan cannot fail in this operation."

"This is not only related to the reputation of the Song Dynasty, but also to the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Chu State."

After taking a deep look at Song Yuzhi, Earth Sword Song Zhi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, second uncle, eldest brother, I understand."

"I will definitely endure it until you come over."

Song Yuzhi also knew the seriousness of the matter and responded with a serious face.

"Ah."

Song Shidao and Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

In Hanzhong, there is a lonely mountain to the west of the Haishui River. There is a Taoist temple in the mountain, which is the Tianshi Hall.
