Martial arts of the heavens, I am unstoppable since I was born

Chapter 226: Plan to Go to Southern Chen and Enter Yong'an Palace Again (asking for monthly tickets)
"Although I am a hermit, I am not a mountain barbarian who is ignorant of the world. I will naturally know."

Zhang Kuang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to accompany the army and protect the safety of the King of Jin?"

"No,"

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian shook his head and said, "Although the Prince of Jin is the Grand Marshal in name only, Gao Jiong is in charge of all military matters, big or small. He is accompanied by many experts and is surrounded by a large army. I am not worried about his safety."

"But Southern Chen is, after all, the headquarters of the two sects of the Demon Sect, the Six Paths. In a field battle, I believe the Great Sui army would be difficult to withstand. What I am afraid of is the siege and street fighting, where the Demon Sect's masters emerge in endlessly."

"So I would like to ask the Heavenly Master to go south and enter Jiankang (Nanjing), the capital of the Southern Chen Kingdom, to contain the Demon Sect's masters. If we can wipe out the Demon Sect, that would naturally be the best."

Yang Jian could see that Zhang Kuang was extremely arrogant, so he did not call him "I" here and "I" there, but addressed him as friends.

Zhang Kuang nodded. It would be a good idea to go to Nanchen. It would be a good opportunity to meet Zhu Yuyan, who was said to have practiced the Heavenly Demonic Art to the seventeenth level.

Oh yes, it seems that Bi Xiuxin, the contemporary walking figure of Cihang Jingzhai, is also in Nanchen?
"You can go, but how will you be paid?"

Even though Zhang Kuang became the National Master and Heavenly Master, he never thought that this was a gift or courtesy given to him by Yang Jian. He thought that this was Yang Jian's solicitation after he demonstrated his strength, and that the other party had something to ask of him.

Yang Jian was naturally aware of Zhang Kuang's intentions, so he was not angry. He said in advance: "If the Heavenly Master can suppress the Demon Sect and prevent the two sects and the Six Paths from interfering with the Sui army's southward advance, the Heavenly Master can choose any of the famous rivers and mountains in the country as his fiefdom and build a Taoist temple there.

As long as Taoists in the world get permission from the Heavenly Master, they can open Taoist temples in various places to teach their methods and martial arts.

I know that the Heavenly Master is not greedy for power or wealth, and does not like to talk. He is a noble and elegant person. I don't want to sully the Heavenly Master's noble character with vulgar things. However, Yang Jian is a vulgar man, and the only things he can offer are vulgar things. I hope the Heavenly Master will not despise him.

Dugu Jialuo was shocked when he heard this. This was not some vulgar thing at all, it was clearly an offering of power and profit.

The fiefdom was a country. Although it was nominally a Dao Palace, it was actually an arrogant fiefdom, a country within a country. This was the "profit";
The Taoist priests received Zhang Kuang's permission to build Taoist temples in various places to preach, but the actual meaning was that without Zhang Kuang's permission, all Taoist factions except the Tianshi Dao were evil and fox Zen!

This is "power"!
Having said that, Zhang Kuang naturally nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said:
"Since Your Majesty is so sincere, if I pretend to refuse, it would seem that I am ungrateful. I will pack my bags and head to Southern Chen."

Yang Jian didn't expect Zhang Kuang to agree so readily. He had originally thought that if Zhang Kuang was greedy, he would add another clause: "Open the armory and allow the Heavenly Master to browse the martial arts." Now it seems that he has been acting in vain.

So he immediately added, "Master, wait a minute."

"Originally, I wanted to build a national arsenal after unifying the north and the south to house martial arts from all over the world. But after careful consideration, this is extremely difficult. Even if I were lucky enough to build the arsenal, I'm afraid it would be difficult to defend it."

"If the Heavenly Master can come south as the Imperial Master of the Great Sui Dynasty and preach openly in Jiankang, I will send all the martial arts collected by the court to the Taoist Palace. In addition, if the royal family members want to learn martial arts, they must first enter the Taoist Palace to sweep the grounds for three years to show their sincerity.

I wonder what the Heavenly Master thinks?"

"That's a very good idea. When the Taoist temple is completed, I will also place my treasures there for people of all aspirations to study and read."

Zhang Kuang simply didn't want to say how much Yang Jian's idea hit his heart—

As a hard-working farmer, how to better apply fertilizer so that the chives in the nursery can grow quickly has always been his concern.

Now the idea proposed by Yang Jian can be said to be a perfect solution to this problem.

While the high concentration of resources wasn't conducive to the popularization of martial arts, it would foster a large number of talented individuals around Zhang Kuang and make the Dao Palace a sacred place. Talented individuals would then be found by themselves, saving Zhang Kuang the trouble of searching across the world. It was a win-win situation.

Seeing that Zhang Kuang was so easy to talk to, Yang Jian felt relieved, but he couldn't help but reflect on whether he had demonized Zhang Kuang too much. Although this man was a little arrogant, he was still quite reasonable!

After discussing Zhang Kuang's journey south, Yang Jian used the excuse of being busy with state affairs to issue an order to expel him. However, out of respect for Zhang Kuang's strength, he still tactfully asked Dugu Jialuo to see him off on his behalf.

Dugu Jialuo naturally had no objection——

She had heard that Yang Jian and Yang Yong almost had a fight, so she hurried over to find out what happened. After Yang Jian blurted out the truth about Yuan's death, she only hated herself for being naive. Even at this time, she still had a glimmer of hope for Yang Yong, a hopeless piece of shit.

If Zhang Kuang had not happened to come, Dugu Jialuo would have wanted to leave long ago.

"Since the Heavenly Master is here, why don't you come to my Yong'an Palace and sit for a while?"

Dugu Jialuo was just being polite, but she didn't expect Zhang Kuang, who was just about to leave Daxing Palace, to nod and say:

"Since the Queen has invited me so graciously, I will go and sit down for a while."

Dugu Jialuo: "..."

Did I shoot myself in the foot?
Dugu Jialuo gently shook the thought out of her mind, put on a decent smile, and walked towards Yong'an Palace with Zhang Kuang, chatting and laughing.

Although neither of them mentioned the previous incident in the pavilion, when they saw the pavilion again, they couldn't help but think of the past and the incident.

Zhang Kuang laughed and said, "The Queen has been wearing stockings these days? Has her leg pain gotten better?"

Dugu Jialuo was embarrassed and annoyed in her heart, but she remained calm and said, "The things left by the Heavenly Master are of course useful. My leg pain has indeed decreased in recent days."

Not only that, perhaps it was a psychological effect, Dugu Jialuo also felt that the pain caused by his leg disease these days was much weaker than before.

But this doesn't need to be said.

But Dugu Jialuo didn't expect Zhang Kuang to say, "As the saying goes, it's better to do it now than to wait for a day. Since the Queen thinks it's useful, why don't we find a quiet place and let me treat her again?"

Dugu Jialuo frowned slightly, but seeing Zhang Kuang's sincere face, she somehow agreed with Zhang Kuang's words.

When she arrived at the bedroom, Dugu Jialuo lay on the couch and suddenly came to her senses. She looked at Zhang Kuang with caution.

I saw Zhang Kuang fiddling with something next to the incense burner, as if he was changing the incense.

The aroma is rich, mixed with a hint of herbal fragrance.

Just as Dugu Jialuo relaxed a little, she heard Zhang Kuang say, "Please, Queen, lift up your skirt so I can see where the pain is."

Dugu Jialuo lost her composure for a moment and glared at him angrily, but she still reached out and lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her calves and a pair of purple lace pantyhose with a rose pattern...
