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

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "I'm afraid what General Zhang said is what everyone in the world wants to know."

"I think General Jia should know this best. Your son Jia Runfu is now the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State of Chu, ranking second in rank."

"Most of the Chu State's military and civil servants come from aristocratic families. If I am really as murderous as rumored, how can they be willing to serve in official positions."

"Uh uh..."

Zhang Xutuo, Jia Wuben and others couldn't help being stunned.

Yes, if it is true as the rumors say, then it would be a slap in the face for so many people from wealthy families to join the Chu State.

"Everyone."

"I never said that I would not accept aristocratic families. There are also aristocratic families under the rule of Chu State."

"The aristocratic family has existed since ancient times. It may decline due to the change of dynasties, but it will not disappear."

"As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old family is a century-old dynasty. The survival of a family is more dynamic than a dynasty."

"I strongly welcome some innocent farming and educational families and military and military families, and I have established a number of future aristocratic families myself."

"You should have heard of the fifteen-level nobility system of Chu State, which is now divided into composition and martial arts."

"If things go on like this, a large number of military aristocrats and civil servant families will appear in the Chu Kingdom."

Looking at Zhang Xutuo and others, Kou Zhong continued: "Really speaking, I should be targeting those families who are unconscious."

"Invading fertile land, bullying men and dominating women, supporting soldiers with self-respect, and not obeying orders."

"Under the rule of the Chu State, there was no prohibition against doing business, and it was even encouraged."

"For things like salt, iron, porcelain, and tea, the Ministry of Internal Affairs even made regulations and put them there, waiting for others to buy them."

"You want wealth, you want a nourished life, why don't you go through the proper channels, trample on the law, and bully the weak."

"For a family like this, I only have one idea, and that is to kill them all."

"If anyone is unkind to the people, I will not show mercy to them."

The voice fell.

Zhang Xutuo, Jia Wuben and others looked at each other and couldn't help but understand.

They even expressed their support for these political ideas of Kou Zhong. The people in this world are living too hard. If they are oppressed by others, it will be no different from living in hell. Everyone is born equal. Even if they seek pleasure, they cannot Based on trampling on the weak.

If the Sui Dynasty had not regarded the people as livestock, why would we be in war everywhere today? ! ! .

Chapter 74: At the night banquet at the Duke of Chu’s Mansion, Song Clan and Tianshi Dao gathered together to move!

Chu Gong's Mansion, back hall.

Just after bringing Zhang Xutuo and others into the city, Kou Zhong asked Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to arrange for them to move in.

Corporal Li Xian's posture has been completed. If you continue, it will only make people suspect that you have ulterior motives.

"System, open all the bronze cans!"

Unknowingly, a month has passed, and Kou Zhong has almost distributed everything in his hands.

There are only 6 blood Ganoderma lucidum and some Xuanhuang Dadan left. These things are too precious. It is inappropriate to use them to reward Zhang Xutuo and others rashly. The so-called rewards and punishments must be clear. If those who have done nothing meritorious get such a big reward, then the Chu army will How can the original generals be convinced?

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the bronze jar and obtaining: Six Meridians Divine Sword! 】

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the bronze jar and obtaining: Bull Demon Powerful Fist! 】

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the bronze jar and obtaining: The Great Compassion Gift of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth! 】

【...】

The sound of mechanical prompts kept ringing in Kou Zhong's mind, one after another, and it took several minutes for it to stop.

A large number of treasures were found in 31 bronze jars, among which the one-star treasures included a large number of skills and elixirs.

The inner skills include: Wedding Clothes Magic, Four Photos Magic, Xiaowuxiang Gong, Dragon Elephant Boruo Gong, Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Interaction and Great Compassion.

Martial skills include Burning Wood Sword Technique, Golden Crow Sword Technique, Abi Dao Three Swords, Dugu Nine Swords, Liancheng Sword Technique, Golden Snake Sword Technique, Six Meridians Divine Sword, Flame Knife, Shenhe Finger, Dragon Capturing Hand, Ox Demon Powerful Fist, and Tiger Demon Refining Bone Fist, as well as body skills: Divine Movements in a Variety of Changes, Eight Steps to Catch Cicadas, Ladder to Cloud.

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."
