Loan Wusheng

Chapter 89: Cai family plots, heroes in troubled times! (5k)

[Fighting to the death on the same road, killed with one sword. The repayment progress of the Treading Wave Sword Skill is +143, and the current repayment progress is: 1782/10000. ]

Zheng Jun couldn't help but let out a breath as small ink characters appeared before his eyes.

Over one hundred and forty.

It is twice as much as the ordinary Qi-accumulating warriors.

not bad.

If you count by this way, the seven people that Master Yuanyi brought down the mountain with him... Oh, now there are six.

There are six disciples, each of whom can provide about 140 points of repayment progress: there may be masters or idiots among these six people, so let’s just assume that the average is 140 points per person.

These six energy storages will bring a total of 840 points of progress.

And Yuanyi Zhenren himself is also very powerful, and is an outer-level warrior.

However, Zheng Jun had not heard that Master Yuan Yi was an expert in the Treading Waves Sword. He only heard that the law enforcement elder Yun Tian Daoist was a master of the Treading Waves Sword technique.

But it’s also good this way. Although the harvest is lower, the winning rate is higher.

If I can really kill it, then I estimate that at least 3000 points of repayment progress will be guaranteed...

No, judging from the progress of killing Meng Xian, it might soar by 5000 points at once!
Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but take a breath.

That old saying is true, killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt!
For Zheng Jun, it would be better to kill people to improve faster than to practice martial arts and take medicinal baths.

Especially those who kill warriors with higher realms than themselves, and challenge those who are higher level than themselves.

It's okay to kill people who are at the same level as you, but the improvement is too slow.

As for killing those who are one level lower than you, it is better to practice martial arts.

But killing ordinary people will not bring any gain at all.

"The name 'Da Dao Wu Shu' doesn't quite fit. It would be more appropriate to call it 'Creditors List'."

Zheng Jun thought to himself that the name of the golden finger was not very appropriate.

Kill Lao Deng and get gold coins!

Zheng Jun exhaled, looked at the county soldiers around him, and said calmly: "So, do you see clearly?"

After a long while, there was no reply.

There was just complete silence.

It was not until half a cup of tea later that the soldiers woke up from their dreams and asked one after another: "Master Zheng, I have some questions about what happened when I swung my sword just now. I hope you can explain it to me..."

"Master Zheng, that villain stepped forward, and the angle of his sword swing was quite consistent with the sword technique of 'walking on the waves'. How could you be so relaxed..."

"I have a question about..."

"..."

The soldiers began to ask questions enthusiastically, showing great interest in this tactic.

Yes.

Whether it was the terrifying waves from the Canghai Sect disciples, or Zheng Jun's casual knife strike.

All of these brought them great shock, and greatly increased their enthusiasm for learning the Treading Sword Technique.

No one will despise himself for not being strong.

Especially those children from rural counties who came to join the army.

After all, most people who can join the army come from families that are not wealthy and cannot afford to learn powerful martial arts.

After entering the army, the 'Qi Gathering Kung Fu' and 'Spear Forest Stabbing' taught by the army were enough to make them ecstatic, and now Zheng Jun taught them the Treading Wave Sword, which made them intoxicated even more.

After all, the Treading Sword is much more powerful than that crappy gun technique.

Zheng Jun looked at the soldiers who were eager to learn, nodded, and began to answer them one by one.

At the same time, he also had to do something else.

Purchase a broad-backed broadsword.

The Black Mountain Guards will need this kind of broadsword as their future military supplies.

Long spears can defend against cavalry, and when formed into a military formation, they can block cavalry advances.

But Heishan County is mostly mountainous, and cavalry is only useful part of the time.

The battles in Heishan County were either to defend the city or to go into the mountains to suppress bandits.

Therefore, using a broad-back knife will naturally play a significant role.

Moreover, Zheng Jun’s thoughts were not limited to this.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were Modao troops.

With one blow of the sword, both the man and the horse were killed.

This broad-backed sword is actually more like a strengthened version of the Mo Dao.

The handle is just a bit shorter.

It doesn’t matter. Zheng Jun can just ask them to make it longer when purchasing.

It can play a similar role, but in this fantasy world, although the Modao team has been strengthened, the opponent's cavalry has also been strengthened. It is hard to say how the specific effect will be.

But Zheng Jun felt that it should be more useful than the old-fashioned spear-like forward thrust.

By lengthening the handle, the broadsword became similar to the Mo Dao, but it had no effect on the original Talang sword technique, unlike Zheng Jun, who made a huge change.

And Zheng Jun is now able to use it with ease.

After all, the Treading Waves Sword Technique has been perfected. No matter what kind of knife or even a sword he uses, Zheng Jun can display the true meaning of the Treading Waves Sword Technique at will.

As for the soldiers, they did not have the "Great Martial Book", and Zheng Jun did not expect them to achieve great success.

Being proficient in it is enough to deal with many problems.

Yang Jun stood aside, looking at the enthusiastic county soldiers, his eyes moving, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Cai Xun was also looking towards the parade ground from the Bingmasi, and seeing all the soldiers calling him "Master Zheng" in unison, as if they had turned the imperial Bingmasi into Zheng Jun's own Bingmasi, he couldn't help but smile, a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart.

"If Zheng Sanlang can do this, great things can be accomplished!"

Cai Xun thought to himself while pacing back and forth, thinking about the problem.

Zheng Sanlang, can you survive this test from Yuanyi Zhenren of Canghai Sect?

As a member of the Cai family, Cai Xun naturally understood the family's intentions.

Just as Zheng Jun thought, a test.

The reason why my ninth sister Cai Anyun was fooling around outside was that, on the one hand, she loved those stories about the martial arts world since she was a child. Now that she entered the "jianghu", of course she had to be chivalrous and be a female knight.

On the other hand, her family also deliberately did not let her go.

Every time Cai Anyun wanted to go to Heishan County, something would happen immediately and she, as a heroine, would be needed to seek justice.

So she had no choice but to stay in the local area and resolve local disputes.

Cai Xun also knew very well what the family was going to do with this move.

Time is running out!

The condition of Emperor Shenwu was becoming increasingly abnormal. Last month, in addition to issuing an edict to order Prince Qi to hold the Shangfang Sword and pacify Tianwang Mountain, Emperor Shenwu also ordered the Minister of War, Lin Boyuan, who was at the peak of his powers, to lead the troops of Xuanzhou to wipe out the roaming bandit King Dayi Zhang Bengong.

In addition, Emperor Shenwu himself even went to the Lingnan states in person.

The intention was very clear, which was to target the Yuandan Wusheng family in the south, the Chen family.

Although the Chen family had the same surname as the royal family of Southern Chu at that time, they were not a branch.

He also never participated in treason.

After all, Chen was a big surname in the Southern Dynasty, so it was very normal to have the same surname.

These news can prove that Emperor Shenwu is now also very worried about the whereabouts of the Zhou court after the mountain tomb collapses.

More than a hundred years ago, Emperor Shenwu began to plan to enfeoff the descendants of several of his sons who died young and send them to counties under the various states to rule.

For example, Li You, the Prince of Changyang in Bozhou, is the fourth-generation grandson of the deceased second son of Emperor Shenwu, and the fifth-generation grandson of Emperor Shenwu himself.

He was granted the title of Duke of Changyang County and was given the entire county as his fief.

The Prince of Changyang County cannot directly interfere in the governance of Changyang County, but all the tax revenues of Changyang County belong to the Prince of Changyang County.

In addition, Prince Changyang has three battalions of troops.

They are the Left Camp, the Right Camp, and the Center Camp.

Each battalion has 1,800 people, which is an extremely powerful armed force.

Emperor Shenwu had a total of twenty-eight sons during the past thousand years.

However, they died one after another, and those sons who failed to condense Yuandan in their early years had already died young.

More than thirty years ago, Emperor Shenwu successively enfeoffed the kings, except the crown prince, in various places to intimidate the people.

The King of Qi was granted the title of Duke of Qingzhou to guard against the powerful people in Qingzhou.

The King of Qin was enfeoffed in the northwest to guard the gateway to the imperial capital.

The King of Chu guards the southern border and is on guard against the collaboration between the Southern Demon Court and the southern aristocratic families.

The King of Yan was established in Yunzhou. Yunzhou had 300,000 frontier soldiers and faced the Northern Demon Court and the Northern Rong at the same time.

The four kings of Zhao, Jin, Liang and Wei also had their own fiefdoms.

But its importance is slightly less than that of the first four kings.

As for Prince Li You of Changyang County, it is said that his cultivation is mediocre, but only at the outer level.

Although he is of royal blood, he has the bloodline of Zhenwu Dharma.

However, the grace of a gentleman will decline after three generations and be cut off after five generations.

The imperial bloodline is similar.

The fifth generation grandson also reached the fifth generation.

The spiritual blessing from the Emperor Shenwu in his bloodline has been greatly weakened, and he is no different from an ordinary person.

And the emperor's bloodline is not that noble.

At least most of these offspring are replenished with resources.

Compared with ordinary warriors, they are naturally extremely inferior.

Therefore, the Cai family in Bozhou does not need a fighter with external strength or even a Tongqiao. According to the current attention of the Cai family, Zheng Jun felt that he was extraordinary.

Whether it is commanding troops or winning people's hearts, he is first-class in the world.

This boy can fight with the heroes when he advances, and can use the troops like a god when he retreats.

Whether you become a hero fighting for world domination or a famous general leaving your name in history.

It's all possible.

But the situation is not necessarily the same for the Cai family of Bozhou.

Zheng Jun is alone, although he has an elder sister and a brother-in-law, the bond of family affection is only momentary.

Not as big as the Cai family, who have a huge number of family members.

If one were to become a being that fights for world domination, in case of failure, he would end up dead and his clan would be wiped out!

Therefore, unless there is indeed a glimmer of hope to cross the river, the Cai family will not take the initiative to do it.

But this did not prevent them from electing a hero to take the lead.

If they win, they will be the emperor's meritorious officials and noble relatives.

If they were defeated, it wouldn't matter to them. At most they could surrender to the new master, but they would not be valued in the early days of the new dynasty.

It is still possible to preserve some spark for the family and allow the family to make a comeback!
They also investigated Master Yuanyi.

His level is average, and he is considered inferior among the Wai Gang warriors.

Before coming, the Cai family will also find an external Gang with similar level to fight with him and consume some Gang energy.

Afterwards, at most he could let Yuan Yi Zhenren, who only had 70% of his strength, go and kill Zheng Jun.

If Zheng Jun can kill Yuan Yi Zhenren, it means that Zheng Jun will become a great man and has great potential.

If they fail to kill Master Yuan Yi, then their Cai family will just be thinking of it as a dream.

Cai Xun understood these principles.

After all, he is not an idiot or a moron.

But he is not willing to give in!

His mother was born as a maid in the clan, and he was a bastard.

Since he was young, his family has never taken him seriously.

That's why he is a dandy boy.

But unexpectedly, God gave him a chance.

Cai Xun originally thought that he would be a true dragon on earth. With the skill of Shattering Jade, he might be able to wait for the death of Emperor Shenwu and the chaos in the world, then establish his own regime and sit on the throne of the emperor.

But the reality is cruel, and Meng Xian shattered Cai Xun's fantasy with a casual blow.

From then on, Cai Xun changed his mind and had a new idea.

He is also the third oldest of this generation in the Cai family. Why can the eldest brother be trained by the family and the second brother can go to Qianyuan Mountain to practice?
Why can my sixth brother also serve as an official in the imperial court? !

Why should he, the third child, eat, drink and have fun in Bozhou and be labeled as a dandy? !

He wants to be the next generation head of the Cai family!

And Zheng Jun is Cai Xun's bargaining chip to become the next generation head of the family!

He has no powerful maternal clan and no strong resources for cultivation.

But he was lucky and met Zheng Jun!
Only Zheng Jun has the greatest value, so that Cai Xun can be proud in the Cai family and let those brothers who look down on him see who is the most useful person to the family!

Therefore, for Cai Xun, Zheng Jun is his hope to be proud of himself, and he is the person who least wants Zheng Jun to die.

"Unfortunately, my mother clan has no power and cannot provide support."

Looking at Zheng Jun preaching in the training ground, Cai Xun clenched his fists and thought to himself: "No, I must find a few outer guards to come here to protect me. Even if Zheng Jun loses in the end, he won't die!"

"Even if we have to spend some money to hire someone, we have to hire a few outsiders!"

This is his chance!

If Zheng Jun fails, he will save the situation himself.

Then Zheng Jun will definitely be grateful to him.

Even if Zheng Jun is not the person the family is looking for, he is still a hero who stirs up the world.

Perhaps, he was a heroic founding general!
This may not be an opportunity for the Cai family, but it is definitely an opportunity for Cai Xun!
"Whoo~"

Cai Xun let out a breath, walked out of the county lieutenant's residence, and quickly came to Zheng Jun's presence.

At this moment, Zheng Jun had also finished preaching, and a line of small ink characters appeared in front of him.

[Teaching and learning, reviewing the old and learning the new. The repayment progress of the Treading Wave Sword Skill is +13, and the current repayment progress is: 1795/10000. ]

Although the amount added was relatively small, Zheng Jun was still very satisfied.

After all, it was just something I did casually.

The reason why he taught the Treading Sword Technique to the soldiers was to increase their combat effectiveness.

The Treading Sword Technique is the highest level of martial arts that he can teach.

The other point is that I want them to grow up. Then I can let fifty of them fight against me alone, and learn from each other. Maybe that will improve my repayment progress?
Whether there are dates or not, just give it a try.

"Saburo."

At this moment, Cai Xun's voice reached Zheng Jun's ears.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun immediately turned around and gave Cai Xun a very kind smile: "Brother!"

"Come with me, let's talk in the house."

Cai Xun smiled slightly, looked around, then waved, motioning Zheng Jun to follow him into the house.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun nodded slightly to Xu Zhilei beside him, and Xu Zhilei immediately understood what he meant and led the soldiers away to prepare for their own practice.

Afterwards, Zheng Jun followed Cai Xun into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Cai Xun sitting on a chair beside him and said to Zheng Jun in a serious tone, "My dear brother, you should have known the purpose of Yuan Yi Zhenren's coming down the mountain. I will not say more about this. I will ask you now, are you sure?"

“Somewhat sure.”

Zheng Jun didn't understand what Cai Xun was trying to do. He thought he and the Cai family had a tacit understanding and no one would point it out. "Brother, what do you think?"

After hesitating for a while, Cai Xun did not try to show his importance by "devaluing the family and elevating himself". Instead, he said, "The family cannot spare any time, otherwise they will definitely help you deal with this old thief Yuan Yi."

Zheng Jun nodded, not understanding why.

That's it?

"But I am very worried about your safety."

After Cai Xun exhaled, he continued, "But I am not very strong, I am afraid I don't have the ability to help you stop that old thief Yuan Yi. If you need anything these days, just let me know! I still have some savings..."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Zheng Jun with sincere eyes.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.

Um, is this considered a private investment?

Zheng Jun also understood.

What Cai Xun meant was that he wanted to make the investment on his own and it had nothing to do with the Cai family.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun also spoke tentatively: "Recently... I need some Earthly Evil Qi and Condensing Gang Powder for my cultivation. I wonder if you have any left?"

You don't want the benefits? Impossible.

The package is required.

It just so happens that I’m out of elixirs recently!

I will have to meet with the Regent of Nanchu in a few days, and I can use the same trick again then.

Zheng Jun thought in his heart.

After hearing what Zheng Jun said, Cai Xun couldn't help but be extremely surprised: "You want the Earthly Evil Qi and Condensing Gang Powder? Could it be that... my dear brother, you have already entered the outer Gang?!"

Cai Xun felt so terrified.

It's only been a few months, is it already out of date?
"Brother, you misunderstood. I am not a foreigner."

Zheng Jun shook his head: "It's just that I just finished 'gathering energy' not long ago, and I'm now 'refining the energy'. Using the Earthly Evil Energy and Condensed Energy Powder to 'refine the energy' will be faster."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Xun hesitated to speak.

In the Qi Accumulation State, take Ninggang Powder to refine and absorb the Earthly Evil Qi.

How terrifying?
If you are not careful, your bones and muscles will be broken and your dantian will be damaged.

That is a major event that will affect the future.

But seeing Zheng Jun so confident, and the three bottles of Earthly Evil Qi given by the shopkeeper, Cai Xun took a deep breath, immediately made up his mind and nodded, "Okay, brother, I will go to Pingzhang County now, get some money, and buy Ninggang Powder!"

"I may not have the Earthly Evil Qi, but I should be able to buy two sets of Condensing Gang Powder!"

Zheng Jun was overjoyed when he heard Cai Xun's words, but he still said, "No need to waste money, I have a lot of money..."

"Your money is for big things! My money is for daily entertainment! You can spend my money, but you should keep yours."

Cai Xun said firmly: "My dear brother, when you become successful in the future, please don't forget me, your brother!"

Zheng Jun opened his mouth righteously, his eyes sparkling, and said openly: "Please rest assured, brother. I swear on Black Mountain that if you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down!"

After hearing Zheng Jun's answer, Cai Xun clasped his fists and said, "Then whatever you do, don't hesitate to do it. I'll take care of everything for you!"

"The county has issued a transfer order. I will be the magistrate of Heishan County and continue to stay in the county. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me. You and I will govern Heishan together!"

Cai Xun's voice was very powerful, saying that they would jointly govern Montenegro, but there was a subtle meaning in his voice that Zheng Jun should be in charge of Montenegro.

When Zheng Jun saw this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

What is happening?

Why is my half brother Cai Xun suddenly so excited?

What stimulated you?
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Zheng Jun.

Eat it if it’s good.

What you swallow is yours!
　The fifteenth day of the month...
