One Thought Feixian

Chapter 140 Ba Shaoqing

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Jiang Yi, Wen Hongyu, Lu Yan, Gu Heng, Meng Chang, Ding Yunjie, Liang Huaji, and a group of seven left Hongye Villa and rode on horseback to Wanxiang Sect.

The Wanxiang Sect is located in the distant "Xichuan", where there are beautiful mountains and rivers, towering green mountains and outstanding people. Many sects and sects have established their mountain gates here.

This "Xichuan" has a very large area. Although it belongs to Lizhou, the influence of the Zongmen sect is so great that even Daliguo couldn't manage it at the beginning.

Dali Kingdom has an agreement with these sects to coexist peacefully and not invade each other.

But now that the central dynasty controls Lizhou, it is impossible to sign any agreement. Instead, the imperial power must be supreme and absolutely unified, and they want to wipe out all these sects.

So now the situation in "Xichuan" is grim, the atmosphere is tense, and there is a dead silence before the storm.

These sects and sects all have ancient orthodoxy, with a long history, profound foundation, thousands of disciples, and quite powerful forces, which are not so easy to destroy.

However, the central dynasty is so powerful that it shakes the world. Just in case, after careful consideration, these sects planned to hold a sect conference to unite and counterbalance the central dynasty.

To go to "Xichuan", you can take a waterway and take a boat down the "Li River" to reach the land of "Xichuan".

But now the "Li River" has been completely blocked by the imperial court, and all the rivers are full of steel ships, coming and going, transporting a large amount of materials to "Xichuan".

At this time, the sky was red and the sun was hanging high, the fog on the river completely dissipated, the river was tumbling, and the current was turbulent, rolling up layers of waves, hitting the mountains and valleys on both sides of the river.

On the "Li River", there is a steel ship riding the wind and waves, galloping towards the land of "Xichuan".

On the ship, there were many figures, and on the top deck of the ship, there were several figures standing.

The deck is wide, all made of steel, and can accommodate hundreds of people. It is surrounded by thick iron railings to prevent people from falling when the ship is bumping.

But these few people stood upright, like wooden stakes nailed to the deck, their bodies remained motionless, showing their profound martial arts cultivation.

It's just a huge wind and waves blowing over, making the robes rattle.

"This ship is all made of steel and weighs at least several thousand tons. It can actually float on the water without sinking. I have only heard that wood can float on water before, but I have never heard that steel can also float on water. On the water, it's incredible."

A young boy from the Ba family couldn't help exclaiming.

This steel ship is the military equipment of the imperial court. Generally, it cannot be used casually without secret order approval.

Usually not seen outside.

What's more, there are no big rivers in Bazhou, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to see steel ships. No wonder these children of the Ba family are shocked and can't help but exclaim.

According to common sense, how can steel float on the water?

"Steel ship is a major breakthrough of Tiangong Institute. It involves the knowledge of mechanics. It skillfully uses the balance relationship between water buoyancy and ship's gravity, so that steel weighing thousands of tons can also float on the water. A routine that can float on the water."

The one who spoke was a young man who was also a genius of the Ba family.

He was dressed in silk and satin brocade clothes, with a jade crown and hair tied up, and his eyes flashed with aura. He seemed to be very knowledgeable, knew a lot of things, and his words were full of philosophy.

When he was in the northwest, this person was not among them, he should have just come from Bazhou.

However, from the eyes of those Ba family disciples, it can be seen that this person has a high status in the Ba family and is also very powerful.

"Steel-cast ships are many times stronger than previous wooden boats. The Li River is the largest river in Lizhou, almost running through half of Lizhou. However, because of the turbulent water flow and the huge impact, there are no small boats. If you dare to move on it, only large ships can use it carefully, and the speed will not be too fast, which will cause traffic inconvenience. But now, steel ships have overcome these difficulties and can travel at full speed on the river. It will take three days and three nights, but now, it can be reached in one day."

As the young man spoke, his eyes swept over the children of the domineering family one by one: "The Holy Majesty issued a new academic order and published the book "Tiangong Kaiwu", which covers astronomy, geography, history, arithmetic, machinery, Mechanics, foreign language and other knowledge are all-encompassing. You should study hard. Don’t think that just practicing martial arts well is enough. Accumulating knowledge is also very important. A very important part of the reason why Dali Kingdom perished so quickly is because of steel ships. , this is the power of knowledge.”

All the children of the Ba family did not dare to neglect, and responded immediately.

"Very well, Shaoqing, you really deserve your reputation as a Tanhua. You are well-educated and talented. Almost any problem can't trouble you. You are indeed the pride of our hegemony, the first genius!"

Ba Liming said approvingly.

This young man is called "Ba Shaoqing", he is the grandson of the current head of the Ba family, the eldest young master, the eldest son, with excellent talent and high status.

In the last imperial examination, he was named on the gold list and won the "Tanhua".

You know, there were more than 100 million people participating in the last imperial examination. He was able to stand out and win the No.3 "Tanhua" position.

"What's the point? It's just a candidate. With my ability, I can definitely be at the top of the list. It's a pity that the imperial court stipulates that everyone has only one chance to participate in the imperial examination. Otherwise, I will definitely win the first place in the imperial examination!"

Ba Shaoqing said very confidently.

"Cousin, your ability is well known. You are not the champion, but better than the champion. I am very happy that you can help me. This will definitely help me gain a firm foothold in Lizhou and make a difference."

Huangfu Ba spoke up. Although he is a prince, he has no fame, nor has he established a family. He is far inferior to the eldest prince Huangfu Dao. He has been conferred the title of "Dao An Gong" and gained power.

Ba Shaoqing is Tanhua, with fame and fame, but with profound strength, he is the number one genius in the Ba family, and has a pivotal position. In front of him, Huangfu Ba naturally puts down his haughty posture and calls him his cousin to show Respect.

"This time in the northwest land, although the blood-sucking horse thief was successfully wiped out, there was no trace of the Momen, and no treasure was obtained. Instead, the black-clothed masked man took advantage of it, fished in troubled waters, and took it all away. Damn it! "

Every time Huangfu Ba thought of this matter, he would hold a grudge and hold it in his heart, wishing to tear the black-clothed masked man who robbed the treasure into pieces.

"It's better to complain about yourself than to blame others, and it's better to ask yourself than to ask others!"

Ba Shaoqing looked at Huangfu Ba, shook his head, and then spit out such a sentence: "I came to Lizhou this time, just to assist you, and you are the one who really decides things, never pin your hopes on others , others can only help you for a while, but they cannot help you for a lifetime, instead of complaining, it is better to change, do you know why the Holy One sent you to Lizhou first, instead of other princes?"

"Other princes, all have arrangements, and I have no skills at all. In the capital, I read classics diligently, practiced martial arts hard, cultivated knowledge internally, cultivated physical fitness externally, cultivated both internally and externally, and made some small achievements. That's why my father sent me to Lizhou. , take up the girder!"

Huangfu Ba said confidently, it seems that more than ten years of hard work have not been in vain, and finally he has a bright future.

"Foolishness!"

But Ba Shaoqing sneered coldly: "You only have this knowledge? The eighth princes are all above you in terms of knowledge and martial arts. Any prince sent here will be thousands of times stronger than you, my lord." The reason why I sent you first is to test your ability on the one hand, and to use the power of our overlord on the other hand. If you use it, and are willing to do it, and do your best, if you can learn one ten-thousandth of your father's method, then our hegemony will be worth it."

Emperor Qingtian was clever and played well. He not only tempered his son, but also mobilized the power of the hegemony to suppress the chaos in Lizhou.

It was the first time for Huangfu Ba to come out on business. Although he was a prince, he did not have a good reputation in the world. Being the first to send him to Lizhou would not cause any huge commotion.

Lizhou is chaotic, with various forces entrenched in it, intricate and complex, one trigger can affect the whole body, haste makes waste, if the dog is in a hurry, he will jump the wall, and any accident may happen.

These things, Ba Shaoqing didn't say clearly, he wanted Huangfu Ba to comprehend them by himself.

As his cousin, he has brains, but he lacks the big picture, so he needs to sharpen it, otherwise he will not be able to compete with other princes at all.

"What my cousin taught me is that I must keep it in my heart and make a good change!" Although Huangfu Ba felt extremely uncomfortable, he did not dare to refute, and could only humbly agree.

Once he loses the support of Bajia, it will really be over.

"However, that black-clothed masked man is really powerful. So many peerless masters of sects were beheaded by him alone. Your Overlord Fist has also been cultivated to a certain level. Unless you meet a master who has been completely reborn, otherwise Everyone has the strength to fight, but he was knocked back by one of his moves, fellow practitioner Wu Nian...how could there be such an existence?"

Ba Shaoqing changed the subject and frowned, as if he was thinking about something: "The mask in black is like the outfit of those assassins in the Shadow Killing Building, but it is not the style of an assassin. Such a domineering and tyrannical style is not something an assassin can possess." , and I have never heard of such an existence in the Shadow Killing Building..."

In his heart, there were thousands of thoughts, and peerless geniuses flashed through his mind, but they were all denied by him.

Since ancient times, the world has undergone tremendous changes for anyone who has a fellow practitioner of Wu Nian. The ancient sage Wang Xi is the best example.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on a person: "Zhou Qingsha, tell me, is there any genius in the world who can be a fellow practitioner of Wu Nian?"
