Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 29 Wei Guo's Countermeasures

The news of the alliance between Chu, Zhao, and Han was known to Emperor Jian'an in advance.

The envoys he sent did not interrupt the process of forming an alliance between Han and Zhao and Chu, but in the end there were some gains.

Zhao State is near the sea and the country is rich, and the people think more about business, and Zhao State's Haoranzong pays more attention to convincing people with virtue, and it is not easy to kill, and the country's martial arts are not strong.

Although the adjacent Wei State is not as rich as Zhao State, it has abundant martial arts, and Zhao Wang has always been wary of Wei State.

This time Chu State promised Zhao State that one-third of the Wei State's city would be divided, which moved Zhao Wang.

In addition, he also agreed to the Haoranzong of Zhao State to enter Chu State to set up a branch sect, and persuaded the largest martial arts force in Zhao State to support this crusade.

Chu State's capital this time is not insignificant.

But unlike South Korea's natural confrontation, Zhao State belongs to Qianbo and moves people's hearts, but is only moved by Chu State's interests.

Zhao Wang has no ambition to expand the territory, so there is still some room for maneuvering in the relationship between Chu and Zhao.

Yan, the northernmost country, has been guarding against the northern barbarians, so it is difficult to have energy.

But the Qi State in the middle has no wars in the country now, and since the founding of the state, it has boiled salt and cultivated fields. It is rich and has tens of thousands of soldiers, but it has the same ambition to open up the country as Chu State.

Qi State and Zhao State are both countries bordering the sea, and the two have commercial competition.

In terms of martial arts power, the strength of Xuantian Mansion of Qi State is also slightly lower than Haoranzong of Zhao State.

Therefore, Qi State has been standing still and accumulating strength.

Now is a good time.

After all the calculations, the envoys sent by Emperor Jian'an to the Qi State should almost have results.

When Emperor Jian'an was thinking about this matter, the guard at the gate of the palace said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao, the right minister of Zhongshu, has something to see."

Sitting in front of the Qianqing Palace case, Emperor Jian'an said calmly, "Xuan."

After Zhongshu Youcheng Xiao Boling got the consent, he quickly strode into Qianqing Palace, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Qi State has returned, and we have the latest news."

Upon hearing that it was related to the envoy to the Qi State, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gongxu stood up, put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "What's the result?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, envoy Chen and the others are fortunate enough to not disgrace their orders, and Qi is willing to use soldiers against Zhao."

"Great." Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gongxu slammed the long case, and said happily: "In this alliance of Chu, Zhao, and Han, we only need to concentrate on dealing with Chu and Han, and there is no great pressure on the eastern front."

The reason is very simple.

As long as Zhao Guo sends troops, the interior will be empty.

In this way, Qi State can take advantage of the vacancy and hit the vital point.

At that time, Zhao's troops attacking Wei will have to return to help, and Wei's Eastern Front War will naturally resolve.

And for such a conspiracy, Wei Guo didn't even need to pay any price.

Zhongshu Youcheng Xiao Boling said: "Your Majesty, the State of Zhao does not need to worry too much now, but the State of Chu is powerful, so we must not take it lightly. Especially since the owner of the Chihe Palace has been promoted to the Creation Realm, he may do it himself. We have to guard against it."

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gongxu sighed and said: "I know the key to this matter, and I will go to Zhengyimen someday to discuss this matter with Bi Daoshou and find a way to deal with it."

Immediately afterwards he remembered something and said: "General Cen, General Huo, and General Feng are ready, and they are about to go to the three places. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are moved. This matter needs Prime Minister Xiao to pay more attention."

"The minister has been working on this matter with the other ministers in recent days. This matter involves the recruitment of civilian husbands. We need to discuss it with His Majesty tomorrow morning."

"With such a humble minister as Prime Minister Xiao, Great Wei Wuyu." Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gongxu said with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Xiao Boling was flattered and said, "It's an honor for me to share your majesty's worries. I still have government affairs to deal with, so I will retire first."

Seeing Xiao Boling's back leaving, gray hair appeared on his temples, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Prime Minister Xiao was born in the late teens and never practiced martial arts, but now he is just like me, showing old age. Sigh..."

"Feng Daban."

"The slave is here."

"General Cen, General Huo, and General Feng, are there any changes?"

Feng Dabao cupped his hands and bowed humbly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Cen and General Feng are as usual, but something happened to General Huo?"

"Say it."

"According to the people below, General Huo often places his cronies in the army, and now the Eastern Route Army has almost become General Huo's word. Even His Majesty... His Majesty's edict is not as good as General Huo's words."

Zhao Gongxu had neither joy nor sorrow on his face, and continued: "What else?"

"General Huo also secretly communicated with the people in Zhujian Villa to embezzle the army's salary."

"So, the rise of Jianjian Villa in recent years is all related to General Huo?"

Zhujian Villa was originally just a relatively ordinary martial arts force in the Jianghu, but within the past 20 years, a martial artist in the innate realm suddenly appeared, and then the sect's talents sprung up like bamboo shoots and rose rapidly.

It has a place among the many martial arts forces in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Even though there is still a big gap compared with the established first-class forces like Zhengyimen, it must not be ignored.

After all, more than ten years ago, martial arts forces rose up and rebelled, intending to support a new dragon, which caused disasters to several cities.

It took him a lot of effort to calm down in the end.

Now it seems that General Huo Yuhuo has changed his mind.

"This matter is still under investigation."

"Find out as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I remember that General Huo has a daughter who is in Daliang now?"

"There is a girl named Huo Xianshui, who is now five out of ten."

Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gongxu said: "Tell the queen about this and let her choose a suitable prince. The Huo family still needs to be stable."

Feng Dabao was stunned for a moment, is this being pulled by means of marriage?
He didn't say much, just nodded respectfully: "Yes."

……

In Kunning Palace.

Tu Lihua, Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty, was wearing simple clothes, holding two stone locks weighing one hundred catties with both hands, and kept raising her arms horizontally.

"Nine hundred and ninety-one, nine hundred and ninety-two...one thousand."

She let out a breath, her arms a little sore and swollen.

Putting down the stone lock, she clenched her fist, her face full of unwillingness.

If the innate state, the flesh and blood and soul grow at the same time, merged into one, the current situation will not happen at all.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

After choosing this path, it will be a matter of time before it becomes like this.

Tu Lihua walked aside, where there was a full-length mirror that was as tall as a person.

Looking at himself in the mirror, his jade-like face showed a hint of oldness, even if it was not obvious, it still captured it.

She knew that she was a victim of the Tu family and the Zhao family.

Marrying into the royal family as a congenital martial artist, the benefits she brought to the Tu family are inestimable, even if she trains two more congenital martial arts, it is more than enough.

If she regretted it, she would not regret it.

Given another chance, she would still make the same choice.

A martial artist in the Xiantian realm can live to be 120 years old. She has used decades of life in exchange for a prosperous family, which is enough to become famous.

In her eyes, this is worth more than decades of living in vain.

As for practicing martial arts to become an immortal, she has always only listened to it as a legend, never taking it seriously.

"Empress, Eunuch Feng is here, Your Majesty has something to explain to Empress."
