Chapter 368 The ghost king’s shady hand
The next day, early morning.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to pass on Lu Ye for the second time.
Lu Ye and Bai Fanghua entered the Imperial Study Room together. A young man in his twenties and wearing a yellow shirt stood respectfully beside Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Yunwen, come forward and pay homage to Mr. Lu!"
Zhu Yunwen is the grandson of Shan Yuru, the leader of the Destiny Sect. He may be even better than Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of intelligence and information. Of course, he has collected all the information about Lu Ye at this moment and immediately came forward to pay his respects.
Lu Ye helped Zhu Yunwen up with a smile and left the imperial study room with him!
Zhu Yunwen said politely: "Mr. Lu, do you want to go to the East Palace immediately and take over the power of the left and right guards in the East Palace, or are you interested in accompanying Yunwen for a walk?"
Lu Ye was surprised. asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to take a walk in the imperial city?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile on his face: "Not long ago, Grandpa Huang proposed marriage to the Ghost King, but it was rejected. Grandpa Huang is considering the marriage between Yunwen and Xining sect Zhuang Qingshuang, and ordered me to go to Xining Dojo more often, and wait until the two parties have established a certain relationship. I won't be too abrupt."
"Mr. Lu and Miss Bai, would you mind going to Xining Dojo with Yunwen?"
"That's it!"< br>
Lu Ye smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that Zhuang Qingshuang is one of the top ten beauties in the martial arts world, and is also the daughter of Zhuang Jie, the leader of the Xining sect among the eight sects of the righteous way. It can be said that my grandson can marry such a beauty. It’s a great joy. Lu Ye is here to congratulate his grandson. In that case, let’s go and see it together!”
While talking, the group turned to Xining Street.
The Xining Sect, one of the Eight Righteous Sects, was Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted confidant, who valued him highly and strongly supported him.
Not only did the "Xining Taoist Temple" be established for the Xining Sect in Yingtian City, allowing it to recruit disciples in Yingtian City, but at the same time, all Xining Sect disciples were given priority to join the various armies affiliated to the imperial court, and received important position.
From now on, it can be seen that the Xining faction's influence in the army is not at all inferior to that of the Ghost King's Mansion.
In Yingtianfu, the entire street near Xining Dojo was named "Xining Street", so one can imagine Zhu Yuanzhang's favor for the Xining sect.
Zhu Yuanzhang treated the Xining faction like this, and the Xining faction naturally reciprocated the favor and respected Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang very much.
Upon hearing that Zhu Yunwen was coming in person, the head of the Xining faction, Jiuzhi Piaoxiangzhuangjie, personally led his two junior brothers, the old man Sha Fangtian and the love-killer Ye Sudong, to welcome him out.
Zhuang Jie is a forty-year-old middle-aged man named Gao Xin who is wearing purple clothes. He has extraordinary appearance and excellent appearance and demeanor. If not, how could he have given birth to ten children who are famous all over the world? Great beauty?
Sha Fangtian, also known as Yinxugong, looks gray-haired, making people suspect that he is at least sixty years old.
The love-killer Ye Sudong is a smart and capable middle-aged man who looks to be 40 years old at most.
The three of them first bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunwen, and then looked at Lu Ye one after another. Zhuang Jie said with excellent grace: "This must be Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu's song yesterday can be said to have shocked the capital. I'm sorry. In the middle of the night, when I was still sleeping late, I heard a servant coming to report that such a shocking thing had happened in the capital. Mr. Lu is really amazing. With such martial arts, our Xining faction is ashamed."
"This time, sir, it is a blessing to come. Please be sure to give some guidance to these incompetent disciples of my Xining sect!"
Lu Ye smiled and shook his head: "I will do my best!"
Zhu Yunwen said politely: "Uncle Zhuang, Grandpa Huang ordered me to see Qingshuang. I wonder where Qingshuang is at the moment?"
"This!"
Zhuang Jie's reaction After coming over, he quickly said: "This girl is either practicing swordsmanship in the back garden, or meditating and practicing Qigong in the secret room. Grandson, don't worry, Qingshuang did not go out today."
As he spoke, Zhuang Jie turned to the disciples around him and ordered: "Go and ask your third senior sister to come out. Just say that your grandson is here to visit!"
The older generation of the Xining sect, except for the famous three elders of Xining , there is also Ye Sudong's sister, named Ye Qiuxian, the Mad Woman Sword, but this Ye Qiuxian has a hot temper, and is simple-minded. He often does things without caring about the consequences, causing a lot of trouble, and his martial arts prestige is not even high enough. Among the fourth elders, he is considered an ordinary master of the Xining sect.
The younger generation has three masters, namely Wandering Umbrella Jian Zhengming, Yang Shou Sha Qianli, and Xiangjian Zhuang Qingshuang.
The three masters and Crazy Woman Sword are also called the four masters of Xining Sect.
The Xining disciples left, but after a while, a young girl wearing plain white clothes walked out.
The woman is seventeen or eighteen years old, with exquisite facial features, ice-cold muscles and jade bones. In terms of facial features and appearance, she is faintly above the white youth. No wonder she is ranked among the top ten beauties.
The most rare thing is that he has a cold temperament that seems to completely freeze the entire room.
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Qingshuang, Grandpa Huang has decided to marry me to the Xining sect. It only takes a while before we can get married."
< br>After these words came out, Zhuang Jie and Lu Ye's expressions changed slightly.
Is Zhu Yunwen’s emotional intelligence a bit low?
Zhuang Qingshuang is known to be cold as ice.
How can you speak like this when you see Zhuang Qingshuang?
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhuang Qingshuang hesitated and said, "In other words, the emperor has decided to give me to you, right?"
Zhu Yunwen finally realized that something was wrong. That's right. He quickly explained: "That's not the case. Grandpa Huang has not made the final decision yet, so he asked me to come to Xining Dojo to get along with him."
Zhuang Jie immediately ordered: "Qingshuang, it's rare for my grandson to come here." Don’t neglect your visit to Xining Dojo. Come and walk with him, and let him appreciate the various places in our dojo and the scenery of Xining Street.”
Lu Ye saw it clearly.
Zhuang Jie, the father-in-law, really went to great lengths to sell his daughter.
Although Zhuang Qingshuang looks as cold as ice, if you think she is really rebellious, you would be wrong.
In fact, although Zhuang Qingshuang complained about her father from time to time in front of and behind her back, she was actually extremely obedient. No matter what, she never refuted any of Zhuang Jie's decisions outside.
Hearing what Zhuang Jie said, Zhuang Qingshuang hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly nodded in agreement and said, "The emperor's grandson is coming with me."
I saw the two of them leaving together.
Lu Ye smiled solemnly, looked at the three elders of Xining, and said: "Yesterday evening, the emperor summoned me overnight and ordered me to serve as the young protector of the crown prince of the East Palace. Lu wanted to borrow some available manpower from the Xining faction. Can the Xining faction help to cultivate a martial arts force for the East Palace? "
Zhuang Jie said in surprise: "What does Brother Lu want to do with this martial arts force?"
< br>Lu Ye said: "I want to take one step in advance to conquer the gangs and righteous sects of the Central Plains and use them for my use to compete with Pang Ban of the Magician Palace."
Ye Sudong said: "If this is the case, generally The disciples will never be enough to achieve success, so Sha Weng can only come out."
Sha Fangtian smiled and said: "I haven't walked in the martial arts world for many years. However, since it is my grandson's matter, how can we Xining faction ignore it? If Brother Lu needs anything, Sha Fangtian will definitely do his best." ?”
Lu Ye said happily: “Lu will never forget the sacrifices of the Xining faction.”
Lu Ye thought for a moment.
It can be said that he knows nothing about the Xining sect’s martial arts. He even never mentioned the Xining sect’s true martial arts skills.
However, Lu Ye had heard a little about the famous "Yang Shou" and "Qing Shou" of the Xining sect.
The Qing Dao of the Tang Dynasty has two unique skills in martial arts. I wonder if it is related to the Xining sect at the moment?
In fact.
The Xining Sect is a famous righteous sect that emerged after the Tang Dynasty. No one knows where they were born or who was the founder of the sect. However, their martial arts routines are similar to those of the Qing-Destroying Tao, and they may be compared to the two sects of the Demon Sect. The Six Paths of Destruction of Love are related.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye suddenly discovered that Zhuang Qingshuang and Concubine Yin actually had some similarities.
This similarity, of course, is not due to their similar appearance, but because they practice the same internal skills, resulting in very similar physical aura.
Lu Ye thought for a while, his eyes flashed with strange light, split into three, and transferred the complete Qingqing Dao martial arts into the bodies of the three masters. Lu Ye said: "This is a martial arts that Lu got by chance, and its name is Zi Qi. Tianluo, I think it might match your martial arts. Can you three try it? "
"What? It's actually the leader of the Xining sect?" The nine fingers smelled fragrant in Zhuangjie, and he couldn't help but turn pale in shock.
His two junior brothers were also eclipsed.
Seeing the curious expressions of Lu Ye and Bai Fanghua, Zhuang Jie took the initiative to explain: "The martial arts inherited by our Xining sect is called the Great Zhou Tian Qi Movement. Legend has it that it originated from a man called Mie Mie during the Tang Dynasty. The Qing Dao sect, that sect, also has martial arts such as the Qing Shou and the Yang Shou. However, the sect's strongest martial arts, the Purple Qi Tianluo, which can only be practiced by the masters of the past generations, has long been lost. We visited the Central Plains In the martial arts world, we have never heard of the whereabouts of Mie Qing Dao. Unexpectedly, Brother Lu actually has the martial arts of Mie Qing Dao in his hands, and it is the martial arts passed down directly from the master. This..."
Sha Fangtian said: "The power of the Great Zhou Tianqi Movement Technique is limited, and it can only allow us to practice to the level of a first-time master. Therefore, our three brothers have all achieved this. We originally thought that there was no hope of breakthrough in this life, but we did not expect that we would be able to do so." With the help of this martial art, our Xining faction will definitely be able to make further progress!"
As he spoke, Zhuang Jie took the lead and kowtowed heavily to Lu Ye to express his gratitude!
Lu Ye felt that the name sounded familiar from the beginning, but he did not expect that it was really the inheritance of the Qing Dao, and it still lacked the Qing Dao of Ziqi Tianluo.
When I think about it, it makes sense!
This so-called ups and downs world actually evolved from the orthodox historical world where Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling became great masters.
If according to the original situation.
Xi Ying, the direct descendant of the Mieqing Dao, was beaten to death by Xu Ziling during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Purple Qi Tianluo was lost!
Since the two sects are of the same origin, there should be no problem for them to switch their martial arts, and they will soon be able to make great progress in martial arts.
Lu Ye smiled and said nonchalantly: "Sha Wen is practicing and leaving with me. As for Yun Wen and the Xining sect, I, Lu Ye, won't bother you. Let's go to the East Palace with Fanghua first!" "
"I have the imperial edict issued by the emperor to take charge of the East Palace Guards, so there will be no problem!"
"In that case!" Sha Fangtian said: "Brother Lu went to the East Palace with the old man. The old man knew all the chief and deputy commanders of the left and right guards of the East Palace. The orthodox leader was called Mei Yin, nicknamed Confucianism. Although he was a general who commanded the army, he actually practiced However, he was a Confucian practitioner, well-read in poetry and books, and versatile in both civil and military affairs. He was one of the few figures in the capital. The emperor was very thoughtful and took great pains to send him to assist the grandson. Unexpectedly, the grandson would not appreciate it and sent such a master to him. Instead of being cold, he kept getting close to Huang Zicheng's losers who were more famous than they were!"
Lu Ye smiled.
As a time traveler, he certainly knows that the reason why Zhu Yunwen is close to Huang Zicheng is because Huang Zicheng is a trustworthy member of the Destiny Sect and a member of his own family!
Mei Yin was arranged for him by Zhu Yuanzhang. Who knows if there might be something fishy about it. No wonder Zhu Yunwen doesn't want to see Mei Yin.
Now the three people walked side by side, all the way to the East Palace, and not long after, they entered the East Palace.
Lu Ye handed over the imperial edict to the defenders.
The two commanders of the East Palace, Mei Yin and Sheng Yong came together to pay their respects.
Lu Ye glanced at the two generals and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Originally, he thought that the so-called East Palace, the three strongest masters under the emperor's grandson, were Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qitai, three new masters.
But I didn't expect it.
As soon as you entered the East Palace, you saw two fierce generals.
Among them, Confucian Mei Yin, who was famous in the capital, had the power of an ordinary grandmaster when he was around thirty years old.
Lu Ye stepped forward and helped the two generals up, saying: "You are Mei Yin and Sheng Yong!"
The second general said: "It is the two last generals!"
Lu Ye said: "I am the Shaobao. From now on, the East Palace guards are no longer ordinary guards placed in the East Palace, but elites who shoulder important responsibilities and fight externally."
Lu Ye released the sand around him to the sky. Introducing the two people, he said: "The biggest goal of the East Palace Guards is to fight against the demonic power outside the territory, led by Pang Ban. The top priority at the moment is to expand the power!"
"At the moment, Lu has four sects and gangs. , I don’t know if Commander Mei is willing to personally invite me to join the East Palace?”
“Of course I am willing!”
Mei Yin said: “I don’t know who Shaobao wants to invite? Who? ”
Lu Ye said: "First of all, the first person I want to invite is Yandang Palace of the Zhengdao sect. Yandang Palace is a Zhengdao sect. The leader is Zhishan Zen Master. He has always been close to the imperial court and wants to use the power of the imperial court to strengthen it. Moreover, they are the Zhengdao sect. , there is absolutely no problem in joining my East Palace force, there will be no gossip, time is tight, I want the leader to complete the matter within a month."
Mei Yin said nonchalantly: "There is no problem. , Yandang Mountain is not far from here, I sent my confidant Kuai Ma to invite us, and the two sides hit it off immediately, and we have no worries about success. "
Lu Ye said: "The second sect is the Nanhai Sect, and the Nanhai Sect was established in the Sui Dynasty. The Zhengdao sect, which already had a great reputation, was declining day by day despite its development to this stage. At the moment, the leader was Jinyi Yexing Xi Muxiong, who told him that there were the Nanhai School's Jialan Zen Kung Fu, Feng Xu Yufeng, Golden Spear, and Yi Zi. Qi Meigun and other unique skills, as well as Chao Gongcuo's notes, he should be arriving soon."
"The third one is the Danqing Sword Sect, and the leader is ranked ninth among the top ten beauties in the Central Plains. Han Bicui, this sect is more difficult, Brother Mei will do his best, if there is no way to invite him, then forget it."
Mei Yin said: "I will definitely try my best!"
Lu Ye said: "Next is the Xiangshui Gang. The leader of the gang is Dadao Shangting. He has always been eager to revitalize the gang. The leader needs to lure them with benefits. He promised that his brothers in the gang can give priority to important positions in the army and have a prominent future. At the same time, it is stipulated that The Xiangshui Gang abides by the laws of the court and helps them find other ways to make money. In this way, it should be easy to conquer the Xiangshui Gang!”
Hearing Lu Ye talk, it seems that he knows the four major gangs well! , several people present were all surprised.
However.
Everyone just suspected that Lu Ye had some secret source of information, but they did not expect that he had read the original work in advance and knew the subtle psychology of the four sects well.
These four gangs and sects either want to revive, or are bent on relying on the court, and their reputations are acceptable. After Lu Ye thought about it, they are the only four martial arts forces that can be accepted head-on.
As for other gangs and sects in the Central Plains!
Except for Lang Fanyun’s Nu Jiao Gang and Li Ruohai’s Xie Yi Sect, there are all invincible gang forces in the world.
After Mei Yin wrote down the information about Lu Ye, he said loudly: "I will go down and make arrangements right now. I will definitely get this matter done as soon as possible!"
Lu Ye said: "In a month, I'm waiting for you in Chengdu. Let's gather a large group of people and enter Zunxin Gate together."
"Oh?"
Hearing what Lu Ye said, Mei Yin and Sha Qianli were both shocked. Sha Qianli said, "Brother Lu, do you want to take action against the famous Zunxin Sect?"
Lu Ye smiled and said: "On the contrary!"
"I received a reliable source of information. When Pang Ban was born, the first martial arts force to be dealt with was the Zunxin Sect. At this moment, only I can save Chi Zunxin. Everyone try to choose the masters. Hide your whereabouts. If you enter the area of Zunxin Sect, don't rush to take action. Wait until Pang Ban and I take action before taking action with all our strength."
"Is that so?"
Mei Yin and Sha. Fangtian was even more surprised at this moment than he was when he was dealing with Chi Zunxin.
The two of them thought silently: "I hope Lu Ye is not too arrogant and dies in the hands of Pang Ban in this battle."
Mei Yin hurriedly led some of his confidants to leave to complete Lu Ye's instructions. .
At the same time.
Sha Fangtian obtained the Ziqi Tianluo Divine Skill and found a secret room in the East Palace to practice martial arts hard.
Lu Ye looked at Sheng Yong, the fierce general left behind in the East Palace. Lu Ye smiled and said: "Commander Sheng will select for me 800 men from the two guards of the East Palace who are not afraid of death and dare to fight hard. It doesn’t matter if the number of people is small, the most important thing is to dare to fight hard.”
"Even if eighty people are gathered together for me, we still have ten days to go. I, Lu Ye, will do my best to train them. I hope they can gain something."
Sheng Yong Respectfully accept the order and leave as ordered.
......
For the next period of time, Lu Ye has been in the East Palace.
On the one hand, he guided Bai Fanghua to practice the other side of the mind, and on the other hand, he guided Sha Fangtian to practice the Purple Qi Tianluo.
At the same time, Lu Ye taught Sheng Yong and the Eight Hundred Imperial Guards the "Iron Chewing Technique"!
Lu Ye did not teach them martial arts casually. During the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty, except for the disciples who came from aristocratic families and famous families, all of them actually had martial arts in the military.
The name of the martial arts in the Ming Dynasty is "Tiangang Zhenqi"!
What the generals practice at the first level is "Tiangang Zhengqi"!
Generals who have reached the level of founding father and marshal, the martial arts they practice is "Great Tiangang Righteousness".
so.
The evolved version of military martial arts consists of three levels: Tiangang Zhenqi - Tiangang Zhenqi - Great Tiangang Zhenqi.
Lanyu, the famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Liang Guogong, practiced the martial arts of the Great Tiangang Zhengqi, and he practiced this martial arts to the point where the Gangqi protects the body and is invulnerable.
Of course.
The so-called Gang Qi body protection can only block some ordinary swords. For example, the true energy of top masters is pervasive. Even if they practice Gang Qi martial arts, it has almost no effect.
At this moment.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty practiced the "Tiangang True Qi", which is actually the body-protecting Gangqi that comes from the outside in. With Zuo Youxian's Ziwu Divine Gang and the iron-chewing method, Lu Ye easily knew that this kind of In martial arts, the fastest progress is achieved by practicing the iron-chewing method.
Immediately taught the art of chewing iron to all the soldiers.
Zhu Yunwen's deputy commander, Sheng Yong, was originally a master as famous as Zhang Yu, one of the four masters under King Yan. He practiced Tiangang Zhengqi and reached the level of an entry-level master. At this moment, he obtained the iron-chewing method and combined the two martial arts. , the Hundred-foot Club Head went a step further and was elevated to the level of an ordinary grandmaster.
The eight hundred soldiers are all similar, and in just ten days, they all became elite divisions.
Sha Fangtian has cultivated to the sixteenth level of Purple Qi Tianluo, the ordinary grandmaster level.
Bai Fanghua has successfully cultivated the other side of mind method and can start practicing the "Eighteen Postures of Bodhidharma". It has not been improved yet.
In half a month, the strength of Lu Ye and his men can be said to have improved rapidly.
At the same time.
Zhu Yunwen's vigorous pursuit of Zhuang Qingshuang finally came to an end.
Simply outrageous!
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, Zhuang Jie agreed, Zhu Yunwen was excited and looking forward to it, and Zhuang Qingshuang did not object...
However, such a marriage failed to succeed, and Zhu Yunwen was almost given up by the ghost king Xu Ruowu Furious.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, and the last step is left.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to ask the ghost king Xu Ruowu to tell the fortunes of the two of them...
It turned out that Zhuang Qingshuang was naturally charming. If she married Yun Wen, Yun Wen would be dead within three years of her marriage.
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately frightened and stopped the matter!
"I will die when all my energy is exhausted?"
Lu Ye could hear Zhu Yunwen's anger in the left guard square of the East Palace. He was the young master of the magic way, proficient in the art of tonic, and Zhuang Qingshuang For a woman of this quality to practice the concave and convex magic skill, it is equivalent to practicing the magic skill hard every day, and it is easy to make rapid progress. How could she have such side effects?
This is Hongguoguo’s slander!
Lu Ye shook his head secretly. Zhu Yunwen was still too naive. Who was Ghost King Xu Ruowu? He was the teacher of King Yan Zhu Di and a proper member of King Yan's party.
The Xining Sect is connected to the eight sects of the Righteous Path, and has inextricable connections with the military. Can nothing allow you to form an alliance with the Xining Sect?
This is someone playing dirty tricks in an aboveboard manner!
As the young master of the Demonic Way, Zhu Yunwen didn't know how to play tricks on others. He was always played tricks on by his enemies. No wonder he was defeated in the end!
It is true that mud cannot hold up the wall!
