Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 258: A glimpse of the leopard, the worries of Zhen and his son
At Killing the Tiger Gate, the carriage was moving slowly. Under the city gate, a middle-aged general with a handsome appearance stood there, looking at the slowly approaching carriage, his eyes flashing coldly.

"The emperor enthroned me, and the Ming Dynasty Prime Minister has arrived, but he has not been welcomed." The soldiers galloped forward, holding a bright yellow imperial edict and shouted loudly.They looked very arrogant. They came from Haojing, so naturally they would not take the generals of these vassal states seriously.

"The edict from King Ming has arrived, ordering us to welcome the arrival of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, please." The general said solemnly.

"Why, I hold the imperial edict in my hand, don't you think I should kneel down?" Behind the soldier, a young man dressed as a school lieutenant looked at him intently.

"The imperial decree naturally requires kneeling, but I am a soldier, so please allow me to meet you with military salutes." General Shahukou raised his hands and said: "General Li Dingguo, the general of Mingshahukou, respectfully welcomes the imperial envoy."

Li Dingguo had a smile on his lips, and there was a trace of sarcasm and murderous intent in his eyes.

"You." When the captain saw this, he held the sword at his waist with his right hand and wanted to step forward to kill him, but when Li Dingguo's eyes turned cold, he took the sword back.

"Ahem!" There was a coughing sound behind him, and he saw Zhen Yi stepping down from the carriage. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Zhen has heard the name of General Li for a long time. When I saw him today, he is really handsome. It’s cool and extraordinary.”

"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister. I finally received a message from the king on flying pigeons and knew that the Prime Minister was coming, so I have been waiting here for a long time. Prime Minister, please come!" Li Dingguo ignored the other party's goodwill and made an invitation gesture.

The corner of Zhen Yi's mouth twitched, and there was a bitterness in his heart. He understood that this was Prince Ming's attitude. There is no problem for you to be the Prime Minister, but I still don't welcome you.You do your thing and I do mine.

"Okay, okay." Zhen Yi looked calm and nodded. He was not angry. Instead, he turned around and called the people to move forward.

"Father, can we just let it go like this? This general is too arrogant." Outside the carriage, the young captain said dissatisfiedly.He was disguised as Zhen Qing and followed Zhen Yi into the Ming Dynasty.

"Qing'er, this is the Ming Dynasty, not Haojing. If you kill the general with the front foot, your life will not be saved. Moreover, you may not be able to kill him." Zhen Yi snorted coldly: "Who can take charge of the Tiger's Mouth Fortress? People are definitely not simple.”

"My lord is right. Li Dingguo is a master in the transformation stage, but my current strength is still a bit weak." Scarface said.

Zhen Qing glared at Scarface with dissatisfaction, but said nothing. He was not a fool. He could offend anyone and could not offend anyone. The Scarface in front of him was worshiped by Zhen, and he was also a master of the second level of innateness. Naturally It cannot be offended.

"Qing'er, what did you think of the soldiers here after you entered the killing tiger's mouth?" Zhen Yi looked at the situation inside the killing tiger's mouth and found that there were many business travelers and bustling markets here, but what surprised him even more was that soldiers were patrolling from time to time. , these soldiers have ruddy complexions, and they walk with a vigorous momentum, which is not much different from that of the Imperial Guards around them.

"Father, these soldiers are nothing more than that, hey! Internal strength." Zhen Qing didn't take these soldiers seriously at first. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, his face changed drastically and he said: "How can these Qiu Ba Maybe he has internal strength? Even if he doesn't have internal strength, his whole body is like a rock. I'm afraid he has practiced external martial arts." "I don't know if this was taught privately by Li Dingguo, or even the Ming Dynasty." Scarface took a breath of air. .

If it is the former, it can only be said that Shahukou is just an elite force, which is not a big deal. But if it is like this throughout the Ming Dynasty, it will be a big deal. There are millions of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, each practicing martial arts, and the food consumed every day will be It's a huge number.

The poor in literature and the rich in military affairs have been like this since ancient times.If you want to practice martial arts, you need to consume a lot of food. Meat is the most important. Although there are many wild animals in the mountains and forests, this is not enough for an army of millions. They still need to buy it from outside, which will cost a lot of money. Money, does King Ming have so much money?

"According to the news, King Ming recently ordered the generals of the army to practice martial arts, and handed down martial arts secrets, mainly Hunyuan Zhenjing, Luohan Fist and other martial arts. These martial arts secrets are free, and more advanced martial arts must be exchanged for meritorious service. , and King Ming opened a martial arts academy to train military lieutenant generals."

"As for money, King Ming has the support of [-] great merchants, and for so many years, Ming Dynasty has been recuperating and recuperating. That is, when King Wen Zhu Di was still alive, he once launched a war to annihilate the barbarians in the mountains and forests. The other kings of the past dynasties were recuperating and accumulating. A lot of money, and not long ago, Liangshan in the Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty also compensated a lot of money, most of which was used in the Ming army. Thirty thousand caravans traveled around the wilderness all day long, buying grain, grass and meat. etc."

"Prince Ming's ambitions are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Zhen Yi told the news again.He sighed in his heart because he thought about the situation in Haojing. Although it is the most fertile land in the world and the place with the most wealthy people in the wilderness, in fact, all this money is controlled by the powerful, including the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. one of them.

However, the royal family regards wealth as their life, and holds the money firmly in their hands, either building palaces or enjoying a luxurious life. They rarely use money in the army. The accompanying imperial troops are okay, but the other soldiers are treated very poorly. Damn, the armor hasn't been replaced in years.

The difference between the two was too far, which made Zhen Yi feel powerless in her heart.

Zhen Qing was silent after hearing this. Although he didn't like Prince Ming, he was a smart man. After listening to his father's analysis, he immediately discovered the gap between the two sides.

"What the Lord said is true. King Ming is indeed difficult to deal with. When my subordinates came down, they thought they would be attacked and killed by King Ming on the way. Unexpectedly, the journey was calm and there was no killing at all. King Ming did not send anyone to assassinate the Lord at all." There was no relaxed look on Scarface's face, but more solemnity.

The calm situation in front of me means that there will be many crises in the future, and even the crisis has already appeared, but I and others don't know it.

"Father is here on the order of the Emperor. Unless King Ming dares to raise an army to rebel, otherwise, he must be more honest." Zhen Qing's face was gloomy. He was ready to capture King Ming's killer. Unexpectedly, the other party did not take action at all. , and even seemed to welcome Zhen’s arrival.

If she hadn't known what King Ming did to the Zhen family in Jinling, Zhen Qing would have really thought that the Ming King was afraid of his Zhen family!
