Chapter 178 Leng Leng and Zhui Feng! Civil servants’ counterattack!

Li Gexiao, who had absorbed the Wedding Clothes Magic Skill, restored his skill to about 70 to 80%. The reason why he failed to return to its peak was because the power of the Wedding Clothes Magic Skill was greatly reduced after the transfer.

On the other hand, Li Gexiao also clearly felt that his martial arts had improved, and when he returned to his peak, he would be stronger than before.

"Master Li, in addition to the magical skill of wedding, I have also passed on to you the divine sword technique that I created. If you feel it with your heart, you should be able to find the sword energy seed deep in the sea of ​​​​qi."

"That is the essence of my lifelong swordsmanship. I hope it will be helpful to you in your future revenge."

Li Gexiao stood up and said with emotion: "Master Yan, I thank you for your kindness in donating merit!"

Yan Nantian smiled and said: "We have to spread our skills anyway. It would be a waste if I didn't pass it on to you. Besides, my adopted brother and I are both powerless people now, so I have to ask you to take care of me."

"I don't dare to delay the prince's sightseeing tour. He will just drop us off when he passes by Jinling City."

Li Ge smiled and raised the corners of his mouth, "What a coincidence, our trip is to find someone in Jinling City."

Jiang Feng was immediately overjoyed and said happily: "We are really destined!"

I thought this chance encounter would end there, but I didn't expect that the fate would continue. Chu Yang shook his head, walked out of the yard, got on his horse, and headed further and further into the distance.

"Hurry up and pack your luggage. Remember to keep up. If the prince walks too fast, we won't be able to catch him."

Li Gexiao reminded him and sat directly on the big wolf dog, asking it to follow Chu Yang quickly.

The caravan followed the two men as before, except that there was one more swordsman in the world on the carriage.

When the group of people went to Jinling City, the news of the destruction of the twelve stars spread like wildfire and spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed.

There were also rumors in the court, but they did not reach the emperor's ears, and they stopped at the six gates and the Jin Yiwei.

The two sides seemed to have reached some kind of consensus and were trying their best to cover up Chu Yang's every move, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and affect the stability of the court.

Six Gates is responsible for the finishing work. They are responsible for clearing out the complex underworld forces under the Twelve Stars. Anyone who sees Chu Yang will be killed on the spot.

The leader was Leng Feng, whom Chu Yang complained about as having a unique skill, and who was also Leng Leng as Li Ge smiled.

No one in the six doors dared to mention the name Leng Feng directly in front of her.

There is a high probability that she will be beaten to a disability.

Just because he took a man's name, he broke up with his father for many years.

"It seems the news is true. Li is really well. He was able to kill the Black Dog Star in the twelve horoscopes. The drunkard is recovering well..."

Leng Leng had just tortured the news about Li Gexiao from some prisoners, and couldn't wait to share it with his senior brother Zhui Feng.

"Master Li is our senior, please be careful what you say so that Master doesn't hear you, otherwise you will get scolded again."

Zhui Feng helplessly warned Leng Leng without any hesitation, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

"I understand, senior brother, why are you always so sad? It's because your boss is so arrogant that you scare away the ninth junior sister. She would rather walk around the world than get married to you."

"How many times have I told you that there is no relationship between a man and a woman between me and Junior Sister Gou? I have always regarded her as my sister!"

"Can you change your accent first?"

"What should I change about the ordinary hair I tortured?"

"Oh... forget it, we are the only ones who know that your ideas are useless. You have to tell Master your own ideas!"

"No, Master has been so kind to me. I can't live up to Master's wishes."

"Then you marry Ninth Junior Sister!"

"No, I have always regarded her as my sister. How can we get married without the love between a man and a woman? Now we advocate free love!"

"It won't work this way, that won't work either. Where are you just hanging out here, mother? Hurry up and disappear from my sight, you idiot!"

"The six gates are in turmoil right now. It's really a troubled time."

Thinking of the current situation of Liumen, Leng Leng couldn't help but look sad, exactly the same as Zhui Feng just now.

"Master was dismissed without incident. What did we fail to do to displease His Majesty?"

"I've been thinking about this too. I didn't have a clue before, but now the twelve horoscopes have given me some ideas."

"What?"

"It's probably related to His Highness the King Xian..."

"The one who traveled around the world with Ninth Junior Sister and is now being protected by a drunkard?"

"That's him."

"You mean His Highness the Xian Wang threatens..."

"Junior sister, be careful what you say!"

After a moment of cold silence, he said slowly: "Brother, I understand what you mean. It's just that Master has worked hard for so many years, but isn't it enough for the Emperor to trust him?"

Zhui Feng said meaningfully: "As long as you sit on that dragon chair, suspicion will become your nature..."

Leng Leng suddenly felt that life in such a large court was boring, including the so-called six-door four great gods. Everything they did did not seem to have much meaning. The one on the dragon throne only needed one thought to turn their efforts into joke.

"Senior brother, please help me finish the aftermath of the twelve horoscopes."

"Where are you going?"

"Go out for a walk. It's so oppressive here that you can't breathe. I know why the prince left with Ninth Junior Sister. He probably also felt that it was breathless here."

…

Beizhen Fusi.

Zheng Dongliu was sitting in the lobby, listening to Zuo Qianhu's report. His fingers kept rubbing the chair, unable to conceal the excitement in his heart.

"The brat really has a chance to recover!"

"He didn't come back to tell me such good news in person!"

"Destroying the twelve zodiac signs is a great achievement. I can intercede with the Holy One to reinstate his official position."

"Why don't you come back..."

Zheng Dongliu sighed as he spoke.

Zuo Qianhu said softly: "Sir, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Zheng Dongliu frowned and said, "Say! It's just the two of us, there's nothing to say."

Zuo Qianhu explained: "The reason Master Li didn't come back is probably because he didn't want to involve us. He was afraid that you would be suspected by the Holy Emperor like Guo Juxia."

Zheng Dongliu said: "Your Majesty is just worried about Mr. Guo's health, don't talk nonsense!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, it is an indisputable fact that Mr. Li is now traveling with His Highness the Xian King. Coupled with the enmity between him and Mr. Yan Ge, as long as he comes back, not only will he become a thorn in the side of the Holy Emperor, but the Jin Yiwei will also be affected. ”

"Our Feiyu suit is entirely supported by the Holy One. If we can't please the Holy One, we are basically close to death."

Zuo Qianhu said it very straightforwardly, and Zheng Dongliu also understood what he meant.

Li Gexiao would come back one day, just for Yan Song's head. From the moment he chose to go with Chu Yang, he stood on the opposite side of the current saint.

As the emperor's eagle dog, Jinyiwei may stand on the opposite side of Li Gexiao one day in the future, and Zheng Dongliu, as the commander, may confront Li Gexiao with swords.

This is the cruelest thing.

Compared with an idle prince leaving the capital to pursue his career, Guo Bujing's dismissal was a major earthquake in the court.

Most of the officials believed the words given by the emperor, considering that Guo Bujing was tired of holding two jobs, but a few high-ranking officials still noticed the clues.

Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, held a medium-sized tea party at his home and invited a large number of court officials. The hall was filled with high-ranking officials of third rank or above.

The lineup of Xu Jie, the second assistant in the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet scholar, and the six ministers were like a small court, and Yan Song here was no different from the emperor.

The temptation of the vacancy of the Forbidden Army's instructor is so great that even the civil service group has its thoughts.

With strong military support, the civil service group can escape from decline, dominate other forces, and regain its former voice.

Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have been incompatible.

It is normal for civilian officials and military attachés to be at odds with each other.

Although there are struggles between the two princes, one sect, two factories and one guard, they will still stand on the same front when facing the civil servant group.

Since the formation of the six major forces in the court, the life of the civil servant group has become worse day by day, like a dark cloud covering the sky, making it difficult to breathe.

Fortunately, Jin Yiwei, under the control of Zheng Dongliu, only patrolled the officials, and sometimes dealt with some officials with inappropriate behavior.

The two factories in the east and west have never stopped attacking civil servants. If they exceed the rules, their homes will be confiscated, and their families will be exterminated.

It feels very bad to have a knife on your neck all the time.

A scholar is not as good as a martial artist, and he cannot kill someone with his words.

Sometimes they envy the Buddhism and Taoism next door. Since the great changes in the world decades ago, monks and Taoist priests can really kill people with their words.

"When it comes to saints, our Confucian school has produced so many saints for thousands of years. Why is there no Confucian saint who speaks of the Constitution of Heaven?"

"It's all in vain for those old Taoist monks and bald donkey monks to gain face. Nowadays, more people read Buddhist scriptures than those who read books by saints and sages. What does this sound like?"

Every time he thought about this, Yan Song became furious and threw the tea cup in his hand in front of everyone.

"Prime Minister Yan, please don't be angry. Everyone is still waiting for Prime Minister Yan to take charge of the overall situation. The top priority is to find a way to turn the Forbidden Army instructor into one of ours."

Xu Jie, the second assistant, spoke slowly, with a gentle tone like a little daughter-in-law.

Yan Song nodded and immediately asked: "Is there anyone with strong martial arts skills among your clans who can be qualified to serve as the instructor of the Forbidden Army?"

Everyone looked at each other, bowed their heads in silence, and answered Yan Song's question in a long silence.

How can a scholarly family produce a martial artist?

If you don't read a good book but practice martial arts, aren't you afraid of having your legs broken by your ancestors?

"There are two people who have recommended me as a lower official, but they are both from military backgrounds. I don't know if Prime Minister Yan..."

"Speak to me first."

"Li Chengliang, the general who guarded the north against the Jiannu slaves, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and the other was Qi Jiguang, who was responsible for fighting against the Japanese pirates and guarding Jinling City."

"Both of them are highly skilled in martial arts and have excellent commanding abilities. They are qualified to serve as the instructors of the Forbidden Army."

Yan Song knew the reputation of these two people, but he still shook his head and said: "They are both from general backgrounds..."

Zhang Juzheng said in a low voice: "Prime Minister Yan, we are not the only ones who have been criticized over the years. The generals guarding the borders of the Ming Dynasty have also criticized those few people."

"The responsibilities of the two princes and one clan are too great and have already touched the power of the military."

“It’s still unclear which side the gate will stand on!”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jie, the second assistant, also nodded and said: "My uncle is right, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. There were no these six major forces before. We and those common people are indeed incompatible, but that is already the old Huangli."

"If we want to regain civilian power now, we must cooperate with them."

Others followed suit.

Yan Song hesitated for a moment, but agreed to Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie's proposal, nodded and said, "In that case, which one of the two is more suitable?"

Zhang Juzheng had the answer in his heart, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie smiled and said: "The situation in the south is complicated. Not only are Japanese pirates frequently harassing the people, but there are also monsters and monsters running rampant. As the person in charge, Qi Jiguang should not act arbitrarily. The situation in the north is better. Those slave slaves have not shown up for several years. ”

After hearing this, Yan Song immediately made a decision, "Then we will recommend Li Chengliang to return to Beijing as the coach of the Forbidden Army. If the opportunity finally arises, we must firmly hold this position in our hands!"

The purpose of the trip was achieved, everyone chatted for a while and then left one after another.

As soon as he left the gate of Yan's Mansion, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly found Xu Jie and said, "Teacher, I was planning to recommend Qi Jiguang just now. Li Chengliang is quite ambitious and I'm afraid it will be difficult to control him after he becomes the instructor of the Forbidden Army."

Xu Jie nodded and said: "I know what you are thinking, but it is really not appropriate for Qi Jiguang to do anything without permission. I received an urgent report this morning that there is something strange about the Japanese pirates in the south. This time, there seems to be a demon involved."

"Qi Jiguang leaving at this time will be detrimental to the overall situation!"

Zhang Juzheng was shocked and asked quickly: "How come the Japanese pirates are connected with the demons? If the Wanyao Kingdom is not busy dealing with the demons, where can they come to tease us?"

Xu Jie sighed: "I have an ominous premonition. Demonic actions have become more and more rampant in recent years. The Ten Thousand Demonic Kingdom may not be able to hold on, so I have the idea of ​​​​all-or-nothing!"

"The world is in chaos!"

…

Chu Yang and others walked for half a month after leaving the deserted village, and finally saw the prosperous Jinling City.

Compared with the majesty of the capital, Jinling City is more gorgeous, with a sense of grandeur everywhere. If the capital is compared to a mighty general, then Jinling City is a gorgeous lady.

Because land and water transportation is extremely convenient, Jinling City can be said to have everything you need. All the rare gadgets in the Ming Dynasty can be seen here, and there are also many foreign gadgets.

In short, if you can’t find it in Jinling City, you can’t find it anywhere else.

Li Gexiao had spent several years in Fusi, Nanzhen Town of Jinling City, and was quite familiar with the place, so he took the initiative to act as a guide.

Yan Nantian had a simple house in the city as a temporary residence. He originally planned to take Jiang Feng and his family to escape overseas after taking a short rest.

When he was young, he participated in an operation to fight against Japanese pirates. He accidentally found a small island full of birds and flowers, and settled on it. That was the final destination of Jiang Feng and his wife.

But now he has to rebuild his skills and has to change his plan. He may need to live in Jinling City for a while.

For Jiang Feng, living in Jinling City is not a big problem. He is so poor that he only has money left, so buying a big house to live in is not a problem at all.

Farewell to Jiang Feng and others, Li Gexiao led Chu Yang to the largest brothel in Jinling City - Xianyu Tower.

It's not that the two of them are anxious, but they want to find someone there.

People in the world call it the four eyebrows.
