The heavens begin with the bright sword

Chapter 177 When Did Qiao Feng Get Married?

Dali, originally a small border country, suddenly became very popular. All the masters in the rivers and lakes are approaching Dali, or are preparing to leave for Dali.

On the surface, he was invited by the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, but in fact he had another purpose. The "four" villains; the Tubo national teacher Jiumozhi who had his eye on the six-meridian sword of Tianlong Temple and became a little cautious; in order to prove his innocence and maintain the great cause of restoring the country In order to maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes, Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang who may also want to eat melons; it is clear that he is the three giants of the Yulong Gang who are going to eat melons; The banner is to subdue the Wuliang Sword Sect, but the Shaolin Temple just welcomes the body of Master Xuanbei back to the Shaolin Temple, and there is no sound.

Qiao Feng left in a hurry, and didn't have the opportunity to get Ma Dayuan drunk and ask about the secret. But it wasn't something important, otherwise Ma Dayuan wouldn't have been hiding it all the time, maybe it was the "embarrassing incident" of a brother in the gang who let him know Yes, but because of brotherhood, it's hard to tell.

Thinking of it this way, Qiao Feng was quite thankful that he stopped Ma Dayuan from talking drunk that day, otherwise if outsiders listened to him, wouldn't it be the beggar gang themselves who lost face?
Qiao Feng went on the road alone, and walked faster. He also acted as the shopkeeper, leaving all the affairs to Ma Dayuan.

Zhang Xiu, who plays the role of the leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang, is not so unrestrained. First, there are some things in the gang that need to be dealt with, and second, war has been declared on the Cao Gang.

For this reason, Zhang Xiu specially summoned Lu Junyi and Lin Chong, two dharma kings who were on vacation in the capital, to listen to them; there were two other people who came with them, including Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu, both of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old. Young man, it was the time when they were full of blood, and they hadn't been smoothed by life. Even Lin Chong, who was the most stable, showed full murderousness when he followed Su Shi to lay down the huge foundation of the Yulong Gang.

Shi Wengong is the most unruly, he has been traveling in the north, and only returned to the Central Plains recently, although he often hears the name of the Fish and Dragon Gang, in fact, he does not care about it, and whispers to Lu Junyi: " Brother, I think that Dongfang Bubai and Dugu Qiubai are handsome and look like young students who have not been weaned, are they as evil as the rumors say?"

Xixia and Khitan martial arts are rough, and the warriors are all big men. Even the warriors in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains are mostly big-bodied people. Naturally, there will be some doubts.

Lu Junyi's face sank, and he said: "Don't be unreasonable to the second envoy, otherwise even my brother can't help you."

Lu Junyi vaguely remembered his end in provoking Dongfang Bubai back then, and he was powerless to fight back from the beginning to the end. Seeing that Shi Wengong was going to repeat his mistakes, he was immediately happy to see it. Although he said "persuade", with Shi Wengong's temperament, he was The most simple and effective method of provocation.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Junyi's words fell, Shi Wengong came out with Fang Tian's painting halberd, and said to Dongfang Bubai who was sitting on the left: "I, Shi Wengong, have heard about Dongfang Bubai for a long time, and I am here to ask your Excellency for advice."

Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu were actually invited by Lu Junyi to join the Fish Dragon Gang, and he had figured it out before he came, he couldn't just join the Fish Dragon Gang in a mediocre way, Senior Brother Lu and Lin Junior Brother are the four kings of the Fish Dragon Gang, I always have to show off my means. Otherwise, others will say that I have relied on connections, and I am not considered a hero.

The other two of the Four Great Dharma Kings are away on business and are not at the helm. Lu Junyi and Lin Chong have no need to challenge. After thinking about it, only Dongfang Bubai and Dugu Qiubai are the only ones.

Luan Tingyu is very forceful, although Shi Wengong once suggested to him that the two of them challenge Dongfang Bubai and Dugu Qiubai alone, which is a good story. But Luan Tingyu refused. He stole the refreshing gun from his master Zhou Tong back then. Fortunately, Zhou Tong did not give up after being discovered, and he taught himself all the refreshing guns, which moved him a lot. Although it was because he was young and ignorant, he didn't know that learning martial arts secretly was a taboo in the world, but this matter was always on his mind. In the end, there was a time when the little heavenly master was discussing martial arts with his master in the Yuquan gymnasium, and he slowly figured it out. The little heavenly master's sentence "the great man is for the country and the people" has always been around. In my own ears.

Swords and soldiers should be aimed at the enemy and foreigners, not for martial arts.

And at this moment, he also recognized the leader "Li Huaishu" who was sitting on it as Zhang Xiu, the little celestial master, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Dongfang Bubai leaned back on the chair, his figure was quite casual, and said softly: "Recently, all the brats in the rivers and lakes want to challenge this famous boy named Liwan, hold your halberd, and don't let go of it."

As soon as the words fell, a red light flashed.

Bang!
Shi Wengong felt a sudden sensation in his hands, and his hands were numb at that moment. Ding——Zheng!

Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand had come out at some point, and the entire tip of the spear had been inserted into the floor.

hiss!
Shi Wengong clasped his hands twice, and when he raised his head to look at Dongfang Bubai, Dongfang Bubai, who was originally a handsome young man in his eyes, exuded an incomparably domineering aura at this moment, persuading him and forcibly holding down his inner heart. Surprised, he knelt down on one knee: "I have accepted it, and I am willing to be driven by the left."

Is this the legendary master!

I am still sitting in the sky.

At this moment, Luan Tingyu thinks that he is not foolish enough to go up to the challenge, it is simply a wise choice. The strength to be displayed does not have to challenge his own people in public. Those who wait to kill the enemy can knock down the enemy's bandit leader with one shot. Naturally It is also a big show.

Even if you want to challenge, you should find someone who is not far from yourself, at least able to use your "hands-on" skills, and who can't do it when Dongfang Bubai makes a move in seconds?

Still using you, Shi Wengong, as a demonstration?

Furthermore, what people like Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu learned from Zhou Tong was mostly the battlefield kung fu of fighting immediately, and the number of moves and fights between the people of the rivers and lakes is not their forte.

For Dongfang Bubai, this was just a trivial matter, but the people below still felt their eyes opened. Today, it is not in vain to be different from Shi Wengong. They have all seen Dongfang Bubai's martial arts before. When they came out to challenge Dongfang Bubai, everyone didn't feel that he was overestimated. Instead, they secretly admired this silly boy. He was truly fearless. Appreciating his courage, he would definitely be a fierce general in the future.

After all, they are Lu Junyi's senior brother and Lin Chong's senior brother. Everyone knows the abilities of the two dharma kings. They can be compared with the elders of the beggar gang even when they are fledglings.

And how old are they?

How old are the elders of the beggar gang?

The future is limitless.

As Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu are the brothers of the two Dharma kings, everyone will not underestimate them because they have preconceived ideas, and even welcome more such masters.

The Cao Gang is very powerful and there are many masters, otherwise it would be very difficult to dominate the water transport for such a long time only with the support of the imperial court. Gang, but apart from being able to suppress the opponent in terms of the leader and the number of people, the other aspects are really inferior to the opponent.

Especially the strength of the middle and lower classes is very different. After all, most of the lower classes of the Beggar Clan are real beggars.

The Yulong gang is different. It can undoubtedly crush the Cao gang in terms of high-end combat power. Most of the middle-level elite disciples are also the emperor's pro-army trained by Zhang Xiu. The situation of three years is strong and strong.

Although the Yulong Gang and the Cao Gang haven't officially fought each other, there is already a wave of wind and rain on the rivers and lakes, let alone the rivers and lakes, even some "ministers" in the imperial court can't sit still .

Good guy, although the Cao Gang is a Jianghu gang, there is a saying that the Cao Gang really seldom meddles in Jianghu affairs, and the Cao Gang is the imperial court’s pocketbook. This is an almost open secret, and no one dares to offend Cao in the past help.

But this time it was different, it was the Ichthyosaur Gang with a royal background who did it.

The masters above are worried about the tools below, and people can’t spread the fire. When the chief helm of the Cao Gang received the battle letter from the Yulong Gang, he was a little confused to be honest. Although the Yulong Gang took over Cao Gang forcibly some time ago Helping part of the water transport business, but for the Cao Gang, it is just a drop in the bucket. After all, the sphere of influence of the Yulong Gang still hits around Luoyang, and the Cao Gang is all over the world. It can be said that where there are rivers, lakes and seas, there are Cao Gang. help figure.

Of course, it seems to be powerful, but because of this, there are many factions and forces. Even a river or a lake is a faction, and the helmsman in many places is obedient to the announcement.

When they saw the Xinyang branch sent people to ambush the three giants of the Yulong Gang, and even Ning Hu, the king and leader of the rudder, was shot dead on the spot, they were already greeting the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Ning family.

But there is no way, this matter is their fault in the final analysis, but if it is not their Cao Gang's style to admit cowardice, this battle must be fought, and immediately began to deploy troops and generals, and sent the masters of the gang to the main helm convene.

The main rudder of the Cao Gang is in Yangzhou, but there is also a sub-rudder in Luoyang. At this time, it has already been declared to have fallen. Of course, it was not the Yulong Gang who captured it, but the Luoyang sub-rudder. After all, they are in Luoyang. It is clearer that Dongfang Bubai and Dugu Qiubai are so fierce that they cannot stop them by a single rudder. Naturally, this retreat has greatly affected the water transport business in the northern region, and made the officials who are honored by them feel dissatisfied.

But the fate of Xinyang's officialdom is a lesson from the past, which also made them restrain their arrogance a little bit.

Inside the Great Song Palace.

Su Shi, Empress Dowager Gao and the growing little emperor sat together.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the little emperor who was getting more and more calm, and was very satisfied.

Little Heavenly Master is right, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and only practice can make people progress.

The little emperor is naturally intelligent, so he must make full use of this golden period of study. Empress Dowager Gao is getting old, so she can't really wait until her death to let the little emperor take charge, right?
Now some not-so-important memorials, the Empress Dowager Gao has sent people to the little emperor to try to deal with them. Although some methods are still a little immature, but now I and Su Shi will give him the bottom line, and there is still trial and error. Instead, you can let go of your hands and feet to do it.

The progress is also very impressive.

So much so that Empress Dowager Gao has begun to cooperate with Su Shi and Zhang Xiu to gradually weaken the power of the old party and begin to cultivate a new imperial party.

"I know you don't like the old party, but one person is still available." Empress Dowager Gao looked at the little emperor, although she said so, she didn't say that person's name.

Su Shi rubbed his chin, still understood what Empress Dowager Gao meant, and also guessed who the empress dowager Gao was talking about.

The little emperor thought for a while, and half doubted and half guessed: "The emperor's grandmother said it was Fan Chunren and Master Fan?"

Empress Dowager Gao smiled slightly, becoming more and more satisfied with the little emperor, and said, "It is this person."

"Yaofu is the son of Duke Wenzheng (Fan Zhongyan), who inherited the will of Duke Wenzheng. Although he is an old party, his heart is just for the people, and he has a tendency to change, regardless of form; he is also mostly opposed to the New Deal. The New Party’s wrongful act of wantonly extorting money is not a complete denial of the New Deal. When the veteran traveled around the rivers and lakes, he privately interviewed many officials recommended by him, all of whom are the pillars of the country.” Su Shi said to the little emperor: “Fan Gong’s talents are not in the old minister’s hands. under."

The little emperor took Su Shi's words seriously.

The three of them talked about some important affairs of the court. Seeing that it was getting late, Empress Dowager Gao got up and drove away.

The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and after the Queen Mother Gao was completely out of sight, the little emperor asked side-by-side: "I don't know what happened to the teacher in the Yulong Gang."

Su Shi secretly laughed in his heart. After all, officials are young at heart. Compared with handling daily government affairs, Ruyi Jianghu is obviously more attractive. And under the leadership of the six Dharma Kings, they pushed all the way to the south. The Cao Gang has no resistance."

"The Cao Gang is no longer able to stand up to the teacher before he makes a move." The little emperor smiled triumphantly: "It seems that the teacher will soon be able to calm down the Cao Gang."

Speaking of this, the little emperor saw Su Shi shaking his head slowly, and quickly asked why.

"The Cao Gang can't be destroyed right now. If the Cao Gang is destroyed, the water transportation system of the Song Dynasty will be a problem. A section of the canal can still be done.”

"Ah—" The little emperor was obviously disappointed.

"Don't worry, the officials." Su Shi coaxed with a smile: "The officials don't know the means of the little celestial master. And he can say it himself. Little Celestial Master has confidence."

The Yulong gang is the chief helm of Luoyang.

A bridal sedan chair appeared at the gate of the main rudder, the curtain was lifted, a slender hand stretched out, passed a letter of greeting through the bearer, and sent it to the disciple of the gatekeeper, which read: The wife of the chief of the beggar gang pays a visit.

That disciple was still thinking: when did Qiao Feng get married?Such a big thing didn't move at all?

Don't be a bluff, right?
