Chapter 374: Old Friends in Jianghu, Situation in Liangzhou
After Chu Tang and Feng Jianqi got acquainted with each other again, they talked about the situation in Liangzhou after they said goodbye.
Chu Tang was most concerned about the situation in Qingcheng after he left.
As he expected, Feng Jianqi told him that after he escaped, Nanqing Hou Wang Yang vented his anger on the people who had helped him.
Among them, Wutong Academy and Tao Ying were in the most difficult situation. They were harassed and suppressed by Nan Qinghou repeatedly and for various reasons.
This went on for more than two months, and the number of students in Wutong Academy was reduced a lot.
Of course, that's the end of it.
Feng Jianqi told Chu Tang that it was not unreasonable for Wutong Academy to stand in Liangzhou for decades.
Tao Ying's father and ancestors had all served as important officials in the imperial court, and they also taught and educated people. It can be said that they have friends from all over the world and have friends all over the world.
Tao Ying asked them to come forward and put pressure on Nanqinghou from the court, so the latter naturally did not dare to mess around.
What's more, it was not Tao Ying and others who killed Nanqinghou's crown prince. She even persuaded Chu Tang that she really wouldn't become mortal enemies with Nanqinghou.
As for whether Marquis Nanqing, whom Chu Tang was concerned about, had caused trouble for his friends and superiors in Guijun, Feng Jianqi told him not to worry.
Because Chu Tang had no father or mother and was alone in his family, Nan Qinghou couldn't find his relatives even if he wanted to take revenge.
His friends and elders in Gui County, Nanqinghou, after all, could not control the sky with one hand in Liangzhou. He also had the governor above him to control the affairs of the whole state, so Nanqinghou could not play the trick of implicating others.
In short, after more than two months of tossing, Nanqing Hou died down. Especially because he had been away from the army for a long time, the governor of Liangzhou was not very satisfied, and ordered him to return to the front line and not to abandon public service for personal reasons.
"When I left Liangzhou, Marquis Nanqing had returned to the front line for four or five months. Instead, I heard that he took the initiative to suppress bandits near the military camp and killed many bandits." Feng Jianqi said.
Chu Tang asked again about Luoshen Valley.
Mentioning this, Feng Jianqi's face became much gloomier.
He was stripped of his position as commander of Liangzhou Yiyi Guard precisely because of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in Luoshen Valley.
Who would have thought that Luoshen Valley, which had always been known as a holy land of martial arts but lacked the strength, would turn around overnight?
Within a month, two people in a row broke through and became the ultimate master of the Nine Realms, making Luoshen Valley one of the few martial arts holy places in the world.
With their strength greatly increased, Feng Jianqi, a Seventh Realm person, cannot suppress them.
Of the nine states in the world, all the other eight states' Zhenyiwei commanders are strong in the Eighth Realm. Only Feng Jianqi, the second generation Zhenyiwei commander, is in charge of the Liangzhou Zhenyiwei commander with a seventh-level cultivation.
No matter what his background is, no matter what timing and convenience he became as the commander, after the strength of Luoshen Valley has greatly increased, it seems inappropriate for him to still be the commander of the Liangzhou Yiyi Guards.
Not to mention the Seventh Realm, even if the Eighth Realm powerhouses were gone, it would be difficult to suppress the current Fallen God Valley.
But in order to show the importance to Liangzhou, Zhenyiwei had to re-send a veteran Eight Realm strongman to take charge of the affairs of Liangzhou Zhenyiwei. Even if this Eighth Realm was of little use against Luoshen Valley, he had to give him an attitude. .
Therefore, Feng Jianqi had to give up his position. It was surprising that he had a good attitude toward Luoshen Valley.
Chu Tang comforted him and said that Commander Feng was doing this to protect him and had no choice but to do it.
Feng Jianqi naturally understood the truth, but he was not very happy in his heart. After he calmed down, he continued to talk about Luoshen Valley.
What is the status of Luoshen Valley in Liangzhou now?
In a word: Wulin myth!
With two top masters of the Nine Realms in charge, they have become a true holy land of martial arts, a place that everyone in the martial arts yearns for and admires.
Luoshen Valley also changed its previous low-key style and attacked everywhere in the Liangzhou Wulin, subduing many forces.
Even the Changhong Sword Sect, which had always wanted to bid farewell to Luoshen Valley, had no choice but to surrender under the premise that the situation was not as good as others, and no longer wanted to be the leader of the Liangzhou martial arts world.
After all, no matter how many eighth-level masters there are in the Changhong Sword Sect, as long as one ninth-level master comes out of Luoshen Valley, they can be overwhelmed.
What's more, Luoshen Valley also has other eight-level masters.
In short, the Liangzhou martial arts world now rules the Luo Shen Valley, and no one dares to disobey orders.
As a result, the pressure on Liangzhou's guards increased sharply, and they were unable to suppress this holy land of martial arts.
Feng Jianqi felt this the most. In fact, he was both melancholy and relieved when the headquarters replaced him as the commander.
In the past decades, Luoshen Valley had not produced a master of the Nine Realms. He was suppressed by the imperial court and looked down upon by his martial arts colleagues. The tone in his heart had been suppressed. Now that he had turned around, he suddenly changed his style and wanted to say this. Let it out.
It can be foreseen that the Liangzhou martial arts community will become more troubled in the future, and it will be even more difficult for the guards to suppress the martial arts forces.
However, what Feng Jianqi reassures Chu Tang is that Luoshen Valley has just become a real martial arts holy land. Although two people have broken through to become the ultimate master of the Nine Realms, they are new to this realm after all, and they still need time to consolidate their realm. , adapt to changes.
In addition, Luoshen Valley has changed too much, people and things have changed greatly, and it also requires more time to explore and adapt.
In addition, Chu Tang left Liangzhou and traveled far away to the capital of the gods. No matter how powerful the Luoshen Valley was, it was impossible to send people to find trouble for Chu Tang during this period of time.
Generally speaking, Luoshen Valley poses no threat to Chu Tang now, and he can rest assured and take root in the divine capital.
Hearing this, Chu Tang was greatly relieved.
Marquis Nanqing was far away on the border, beyond his reach; there were many people busy with things in Luoshen Valley, and there was no time for him to take care of him.
It was indeed the most beneficial time for him.
As long as he gets out in the city of gods and achieves a certain identity and status, with the support of the imperial court or the guards, I am afraid that Nanqinghou and Luoshengu will only hold their noses to recognize his new identity and dare not make any mistakes. Yes.
At least, it is difficult to attack directly.
"What about the remnants of King Liang, how are they doing?" Chu Tang asked the last topic of concern.
Feng Jianqi also frowned when he heard this, even he felt strange - Tang Jianyuan disappeared without a trace after saying goodbye to Mengjun!
This is very uncomfortable. After all, after receiving the so-called Mirror-Breaking Divine Pill, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty King claimed that he would be able to advance to the Ninth Realm and become one of the best in the world.
Although he retreated in the face of many guards in uniform, he said harsh words before leaving, making sure to make Chu Tang and Feng Jianqi look good.
The threat of an eighth-level master who is about to break through is really nerve-wracking.
The direct reason why Chu Tang followed Zeng Qi to the South China Sea was the threat from Tang Jianyuan.
This guy is hiding in the dark and may be close at hand, which is really worrying.
Now I hear that more than half a year has passed, and this arrogant descendant of King Tang has not made any noise?
It’s so unreasonable!
"I think either the Mirror-Breaking Pill is not as magical as he said and cannot advance him to the Ninth Realm; or he is dormant, plotting a bigger conspiracy and planning to cause bigger things." For Chu Tang, a person who had participated in the robbery of King Liang's treasure, Feng Jianqi seemed very relaxed and openly expressed his guess.
Chu Tang nodded and agreed with Feng Jianqi's statement, but he felt that the second reason was more reliable.
Tang Jianyuan planned for decades, and spent more than 20 years raising a son with a clear face to attract firepower. Finally, he gathered all his hands to find the treasure.
Judging from his performance, he doesn't seem to care much about martial arts secrets, magic weapons, gold and silver.
His goal is very clear, which is to break through the Mirror God Pill and leave.
This elixir sounds unbelievable and even more mysterious, but it allowed Tang Jianyuan to plan it so carefully and spend decades on it. If he was not sure about the efficacy of the elixir, he would never do it like this.
Based on this calculation, there is a high probability that he will become a master of the Nine Realms at this time - even the Nine Realms achieved by taking drugs, which Zeng Qi looked down on.
That is also the ninth realm, an achievement that thousands of warriors cannot achieve in their lifetime!
After achieving the Nine Realms, he kept a low profile and lurked in the dark. If he said he had no other plans, even the ghosts would not believe him!
But what they are planning is actually only known to everyone.
"He won't kill all the gods to come to settle accounts with Chu to vent his hatred, right?" Chu Tang and Feng Jianqi joked.
Feng Jianqi also felt that this guess was unreliable and shook his head repeatedly: "Where are the gods? He, a remnant of the Liang King, came here. He is impatient with life! Unless he is crazy, he will never dare to set foot in Zhongzhou!"
"Then I'm relieved." Chu Tang smiled and changed the subject, saying that Tingfengxuan belonged to Fengjianqi. He, a certain Chu, occupied the magpie's nest. His name was not justified, so he should move the land for him. It's time.
Feng Jianqi decisively refused, saying that Tingfengxuan and Lotus Tower were not assets fixed to someone.
They belong to Feng Mansion, and the head of Feng Mansion will give them to whomever they want to live in.
Now that Feng Mansion is headed by Feng Kaijing, he has designated Chu Tang to live here, and no one will say anything, let alone show their teeth.
"Then where do you live?" Chu Tang asked.
Feng Kaijing said: "Feng Mansion is not the only residence of the Feng family. There are several properties in Shendu. I can find a place to live at any time. Besides, Feng Mansion is very big, with plenty of places to stay."
When Chu Tang heard this, he stopped worrying about this topic. He remembered the recruitment of the Xincheng Princess that Feng Huang had conveyed two days ago, and immediately told Feng Jian Qi about his choice.
After hearing this, Feng Jianqi was greatly surprised. He glanced at Chu Tang a few more times and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that when you first came to Shendu, you would be favored by Princess Xincheng. You are quite capable!"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly: "Feng...Brother Feng, please stop joking. Chu is worried to death now. Commander Feng has never given a clear instruction. Should he let Chu join the Yiyi Guards or not?" Fight wherever you go!"
This was his showdown with Feng Jianqi.
He didn't have many opportunities to meet Feng Kaijing. He had been living under someone else's roof in Feng Mansion, and he didn't feel very happy.
Now that Feng Jianqi has finally come back, why can't he talk about it properly?
After all, he was recommended by Feng Jianqi to come to Shendu to find the commander-in-chief of the Yiyiwei. Feng had been waiting for him in Kyoto for almost half a month, so he didn't pay much attention to Feng Jianqi's suggestion.
Isn’t this the face of Feng Jianqi!
Sure enough, Feng Jianqi's face tightened slightly after hearing this, and he said in a deep voice: "I just returned to Shendu today, and I came to see you after settling in. I haven't met my second uncle yet. I'll wait for him to return home tonight. I will discuss the matter with him from time to time and try to make a decision for you as soon as possible.”
Chu Tang quickly thanked him.
Feng Jianqi waved his hand and said you're welcome. They were born and died together in Liangzhou and had a life-long friendship.
This is what makes Chu Tang most satisfied with Feng Jianqi.
Whether it's Feng Kaijing, Feng Huang, or even Princess Xincheng and Feng Erniang, when they are in the capital of the gods, no matter what they say or do, they always have a high profile that makes people feel alienated and distant from others.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they themselves are big bosses in the court. When their status is high and their status is noble, they are unable to communicate with others.
Feng Jianqi was different. Although this guy was in his thirties, he had a sense of loyalty like a wealthy person in the world.
Chu Tang did not have a deep friendship with him, and they had only known each other for a short time. However, just because Chu Tang had helped him with work and affairs, he regarded him as one of his own.
Ordinary people really can't do things like introducing him to the capital of the gods and showing the token to the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards.
But Feng Jianqi not only did it, but also enthusiastically considered many things for Chu Tang.
"Chu Tang, if you join the Zhen Yiwei, we can work together so that we can take care of you." Feng Jianqi thought about it and made a suggestion.
Chu Tang was self-righteous and said with great joy: "I can't ask for it! I have to ask Brother Feng to take care of me!"
Feng Jianqi smiled bitterly and said: "Now I am no longer the commander of the Liangzhou Yiyiwei, and my cultivation level is less than the eighth level. When I return to the divine capital, all the more important positions in the Yiyiwei headquarters are full, so I can probably only Leading a team and running errands is just like a hard life!"
Chu Tang quickly comforted him with a few words, but he was complaining in his heart. Even if Feng Jianqi had a lower position, he was still the second-generation leader in the Guards!
Feng Kaijing's nephew, does anyone in the Guards really dare to be disrespectful to him?
Feng Kaijing's thigh was large, and Feng Jian's thigh was not small enough for Chu Tang to hang on.
"By the way, Chu Tang, has that girl Feng Huang challenged you to compete in martial arts?" Feng Jianqi suddenly asked.
Chu Tang asked in surprise: "Brother Feng, have you heard about it?"
Snapped!
Feng Jianqi clapped his hands and said angrily: "I guessed it! With her temperament, how could she not see the skills of the young heroes living nearby? By the way, what was the result of the duel between you two? She has a more impatient temper and loves to Wu Chengchi, if there is any offense, please forgive me."
Chu Tang hurriedly said: "Don't dare! The third lady thinks highly of Chu, so she gave her a chance to compete. As for the outcome... the third lady has already mastered the fire phoenix spear skill, and the power of the spear is extraordinary, which Chu can hardly resist."
Well, I'm not lying. When he competed with Fenghuang that day, he was indeed at a disadvantage.
There’s nothing wrong with saying that!
As for whether Fenghuang is still his opponent now that he has achieved the upper three realms, it is not worth mentioning.
Feng Jianqi said: "Although the three girls are a little confused, their martial arts talents are still good. There are few opponents among their peers in Shendu."
Yo ho!
Chu Tang's eyebrows twitched. The eldest brother looked like he was scolding the little girl, but in fact he was very proud of her!
Feng Jianqi glanced at Chu Tang and suddenly asked: "Chu Tang, what do you think of Feng Huang?"
"Huh?" Chu Tang expressed confusion.
Feng Jianqi hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, after you left Liangzhou, I wrote a letter to my second uncle, asking him to wait until you arrive in the capital of gods to consider marrying Feng Huang to you."
"Ah?!" Chu Tang jumped up. (End of chapter)
