Chapter fifty-three(1/2)

In the past six months, Yang Tian can be said to have endured hell-like tempering. Long Feng desperately urged him to refine the "demon energy" in his body, and also manage the affairs of the guards group. He occasionally had to come forward to clean up the bad debts for his subordinates. He was so busy that he was dizzy that he had no time to find the little girl to be happy.

After the intentional or unintentional warnings from the powerful and powerful people in the Shengjing City, the behavior of the young men of the Guards Group has been greatly restrained. At least the open violations of the law and taboos in the downtown city have basically disappeared. At most, there are crowds behind the scenes, such as gamble, fighting cocks, and racing dogs, and making a mess in the nest.

After half a year of careful training, the members of the 9,872 Guards' Regiment made great progress in their martial arts cultivation, because Yang Tian directly linked their martial arts tests with their salary, and intentionally or unintentionally reported a few unobedient people to the face of Emperor Tianyou. As a result, everyone was working hard on martial arts and did not dare to show any slackness. Although their martial arts skills were far from the real people in the martial arts world, they could still deal with more than a dozen or twenty people as long as their thighs did not become weak due to certain things. Moreover, adhering to the glorious tradition of the first group of members, each of their escape skills could be considered a master.

Seeing the members chasing and fighting around the school grounds with light smoke, Yang Tian turned around proudly and said, "See, our grades are still good. If brothers go to the battlefield, they can at least go in and out freely without fear of being surrounded."

Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui nodded repeatedly. After Yang Tian's coordination, the two old enemies were all like each other and had a good attitude. Now they are very good friends. Naturally, their group of friends have also hooked up. Their fathers and grandparents fought to the death in the court, but they have achieved a great alliance ahead of schedule. This shows that the future of the Celestial Empire is still bright, with hope and vitality.

Lin Yiyun smiled wickedly and made an idea: "Boss, tonight, that girl Qiong Feixue's brother will host a banquet for officials in Shengjing. The day after tomorrow he will leave Shengjing and go back to be his local official. Should we join in the fun too? Qiong Feixue, the girl from the Qiong family, looks so utterly, and she feels itchy when she sees it... If your boss is interested, you can also join the team. Even if you are not interested in that girl, you can make friends with the boss of the Qiong family."

Yang Tian licked his lips and said helplessly: "There is no choice. What is the status of others? They are invited to buy some big guys who are at least three levels higher than our official title. I can't get in at all... There is no choice."

Jiang Chunshui hurriedly came over and said, "This is true. Feixue girl has a good time with our sisters on weekdays, but she just ignores us. Originally, we can't afford to be the people of their "Purple Gold Duke" mansion, but this girl... If anyone can be her husband, she will definitely rise to the top in the future. If she can form a relationship with her brother, there will be many benefits in the future."

Yang Tian was moved and made a gesture lightly.

Long Feng said coldly beside him: "This, our highness wants to go. You know, it's impossible for their family to invite our highness. Are you, well... Of course, I won't treat you badly. The three-way killer of the "Nine Nether Soul Destroying Hand" is very powerful. If you change your entire service, let your highness come in and join in the fun, how about?"

Several people laughed flatteringly, and Zeng Guoxuan quickly took out a gold-packed post from his body and said with a smile: "This is certain, Master Long, we are not too greedy, but, haha, it's like you have been teaching us a lesson. If there is not enough benefit, you can't help others in vain, right? This post was for my father, so I took it over. Hehe, he won't go there anyway, so we can just use it."

Jiang Chunshui hurriedly added: "Our girls will follow us together. When the time comes, Qiong Feixue will call out and give you a chance to talk about it. However, Master Long, the first three moves... you should teach us early."

Long Feng smiled: "Don't worry, no problem." He smiled in his heart. Since he chose a few sets of messy martial arts and gave them extras to Jiang Chunshui and the others, the few people who tasted the sweetness are now looking for opportunities all day long to pester him for fresh moves. This is good, without too much cost, and you can get a lot of extra convenience. Just like this, it would be impossible to find a way to attend this banquet by Yang Tian himself. If he didn't mingle with Jiang Chunshui and his group of people, the "Purple Gold Duke" is a descendant of the founding father of the Celestial Empire. Who would have seen a prince from a small Western vassal state? Not to mention sending him an invitation.

At night, Qiong Daotian, also known as Qiong Feixue's brother, was surrounded by ves of carriages at the gate of the temporary residence of Shengjing. High-ranking officials of the court with high crowns and gorgeous costumes got off the carriage, and made a few polite words with Qiong Daotian who was standing at the door to welcome guests, and walked in.

Yang Tian and his group of more than a hundred people each brought invitations from different channels, and Shi Shiran got in. Qiong Daotian didn't pay attention to these boys at all. He could clearly tell whether there was a small chickenpox on the face of a powerful imperial court, but he did not need to pay attention to this group of little people who were still powerless, even if their family was powerful, it would be the same.

According to the agreed conditions, several girls from Jiang Chunshui and his group pulled Qiong Feixue into the garden behind and walked along the stream. Suddenly, many young people came over and started to make trouble with various excuses.

Zeng Guoxuan whispered viciously: "Damn, where did these bastards come out? Don't you know that the boss of Shengjing is next to you? They clearly don't give us face... which one? How many of them have seen it, but they forgot what they do."

Jiang Chunshui frowned and said, "What do they do? They don't have much contact with us on weekdays, but we don't know how to offend them."

Yang Tian spread his hands and shrugged helplessly: "Come on, although beauty is important, it's also seen when playing together on weekdays, and it's fine if you've seen it. Since the beauty is not a good choice, can you let me give the gift to Qiong Daotian in person?"

Jiang Chunshui agreed: "This, although the threshold for them is high, they also want to give my father some face. I will go over and see if Qiong Daotian is free, and call him over and meet you with the boss."

Jiang Chunshui went to the event. Zeng Guoxuan and others laughed a few times, got into the crowd, and started their necessary social activities.

Yang Tian whispered to Long Feng and said, "I really don't know if it's worth investing all my energy in this guard group. If I had half a year to chase Qiong Feixue, I would probably be pregnant with my child now. Even if I give me three months to make friends with Qiong Daotian, I can still call myself brothers."

Long Feng whispered and warned him: "Unless you kill Qiong Feixue's brother and then marry Qiong Feixue, you will not be able to use the power of the 'Purple Gold Gong'. The most reliable power in the world is your own strength. Don't rely on others for help... I had known that your boy was interested in that girl, so I forced you to practice hard for half a year... If you were too angry, find a girl to vent, but don't use your brain on these uncontrollable women."

Yang Tian nodded dejectedly, stared at Qiong Feixue's towering chest in the distance, whistled gently, turned around and looked for Jiang Chunshui to see how he was doing.

Jiang Chunshui was talking in front of Qiong Daotian in an extremely polite manner. Qiong Daotian kept smiling and nodding, glanced at this side like lightning, and passed by Yang Tian, ​​but stared at Long Feng fiercely. Long Feng glared back without any politeness. Qiong Daotian's eyes hurt, and he became curious about Long Feng. He followed Jiang Chunshui with graceful manner. From a distance, he bowed his hand with extraordinary enthusiasm.

Yang Tian laughed in his heart. He had formed some tacit understanding with Long Feng and Gnu. Long Feng and Gnu kept their breath to an amazing but not scary level in front of others as much as possible, while Yang Tian restrained his breath as much as possible and deliberately made everyone ignore him.

Qiong Daotian's generous and gentle voice came: "Mr. Yang, I'm so rude. I was too busy just now and didn't notice when you came. I'm so sorry." He said sorry, but there was no Yang Tian's presence in his eyes. All his attention was on Long Feng, constantly estimating Long Feng's weight in his heart. Unlike his sister who was powerless, Qiong Daotian had amazing martial arts cultivation and was confident that he could rank in the top 100 in the world. However, the power displayed by Long Feng was still above Qiong Daotian, which made Qiong Daotian curious.

Long Feng smiled and said nothing, bowed gently to Qiong Daotian.

Yang Tian took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Qiong Daotian. He said with a little humble virtue: "Mr. Qiong, this is a small country in the border area of ​​Saint-Dor, there is nothing good, meaning, meaning. In the future, I hope Lord Qiong will take care of you."

Qiong Daotian smiled and took the box generously and said, "Mr. Yang is polite, I can't say care. As long as we work hard for the country, we are ministers in the same palace, how can we talk about any care?" He handed the box to the entourage behind him, and was ready to leave after a few polite words. There were thirty people in his army directly under him, and Qiong Daotian was unwilling to waste time. If it weren't for Jiang Chunshui's father's face, he wouldn't bother to talk to Yang Tian.

Long Feng laughed and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiong, that short sword is made of the best black crystal, with thirteen advanced spells attached to it. It's power... I am confident that there is no second weapon in the world that can match it."

Qiong Daotian took a light breath, and he naturally knew that some magic books could attach spells to weapons to increase their power. Magic in the Western continent, or both Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Celestial Dynasty, have such magic. He reached out and snatched the box from his entourage's hand and opened it: inside was a strange short sword that was pitch black and transparent, only more than a foot long. Inside the sword body, a red air flow was flowing wildly.

Qiong Daotian smiled sincerely. He could naturally tell the value of the sword. He nodded heavily, and without saying anything, he signaled Yang Tian for a moment, turned around and left.

Jiang Chunshui had already slipped away and joined the ranks of aristocratic ladies. Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Tian immediately laughed and scolded: "You can make a living as a weapon master in the future... A short sword made in half an hour actually made it a treasure."

Long Feng said proudly: "By passing by my hands, I have become a treasure... But if you don't want to be troubled, it's best not to tell others that I made it."

Yang Tian smiled: "I'll pay attention to it... But, what benefits do you think he will give us? He is also a martial arts practitioner, right? Such a dagger is of great use to him."

Long Feng gently flicked his slender fingers and said slowly: "It depends on how he decides... Well, the girl from the Qiong family has come here, don't you go up and talk about it? I won't object to eating other people's tofu, just don't just act really well."

Yang Tian jumped up, quickly sorted out his service, took out a handful of pearls from his arms, and rushed over...

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

It was another half a year in a flash, and it was a while since Qiong Daotian said goodbye and left Beijing.

Yang Tian sat in the flower hall of his mansion in a depressed mood and ate frozen sweet pears. Long Feng was busy instructing Gnu to put hundreds of kilograms of freshly bought fruit into the water tank, and then released cold air to surround the entire water tank with thick ice.

Yang Tian sighed to the sky: "God Qiong, don't let me marry your sister, otherwise it's because you took something and didn't do anything this time, and I must abuse your nephew well."

Feng Ling'er lazily walked out of the back hall: "What is my nephew? His sister is Qiong Feixue, right? But why is his sister related to his nephew again?"

Long Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not at all. Your elder sister doesn't have to worry about it. Chunshui's sister invites you to go shopping together. Are you going? Hehe... It's summer now, buy more beautiful clothes and come back."

Feng Ling'er rushed out immediately.

Yang Tian sighed and said, "How long does it take to have the strength as strong as her?"

Long Feng simply said: "If you practice by yourself, it will take at least one trillion years, but if you have my help, and you are practicing the "Demon Art" that is one million times stronger than her, so it will take very little time."

While talking nonsense, a little eunuch rushed in with a scam and frightened look: "Commander Yang, Commander Yang... Oh, we are so tired... Your Majesty is eager to announce that you are entering the palace."

Yang Tian quickly took out a handful of silver notes and stuffed them into the eunuch's arms: "The official knows... I don't know that my father-in-law is... rare."

The little eunuch roughly estimated the value of the silver bill, and immediately had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Our surname is Zhu, and we are the Xuanli Manager who has just been selected recently. We will have to take care of General Yang in the future."

Yang Tian handed over another large silver note and said with a smile: "So that's it... my father-in-law couldn't say that he would be the chief executive of the future, and he would have to take care of the officials."

The little eunuch looked at the silver notes in his hand and narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: "It's really better to give gifts up. As soon as he took office, all the costs have come back."

Long Feng seized the opportunity to ask the reason for the summoning of Emperor Tianyou: "There are bandits in other places, and the local army did not know why, so they did not set out for the expedition and reported to His Majesty. His Majesty was preparing to let the guards go and experience the battlefield."

Yang Tian nodded and said, "Biexiang, can't it be in the territory of the 'Purple Gold Duke'?"

The little eunuch looked at Yang Tian in surprise: "How do you know? We heard that it was the 'Zi Jin Gong' and their territory. The 'Zi Jin Gong''s mansion was probably unwilling to use its own army to attack, so he submitted a memorial to the court and asked the court to send troops to help solve their problems."

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

When he saw Emperor Tianyou, Emperor Tianyou was walking around in his imperial study with an angry look on his face. Seeing the little eunuch bringing Yang Tian and the other two in, he immediately threw a post in his hand that marked 100,000 yuan and said angrily: "These damn untouchables actually caused trouble for me at this time... When the world is peaceful, why do they have to be bandits?"

Yang Tian picked up the post, but did not read it, and asked Emperor Tianyou directly: "Your Majesty, I heard that it is the 'Zi Jin Gong's Mansion that is unwilling to send out its own private army to fight. I really don't know why. A group of bandits, a mere ten thousand people, if the garrison troops in the 'Zi Jin Gong'' territory, it would be like the sun turning into snow. Wouldn't those bandits be pacified immediately?"

Emperor Tianyou opened his mouth and didn't say anything. After a long time, he slowly walked to Yang Tian, ​​waved the little eunuch back, and lowered his voice and said, "I am mobilizing military forces, accumulating new firearms, and preparing to go to the Black Cloud Empire... The private army in their territory of the 'Purple Gold Gong' is the most elite army in the Celestial Empire. Can I let them dispatch to conquer bandits at this time? The latest two thousand artillery pieces have just been distributed to them, and I am still familiar with the use of artillery. Now I do not allow them to dispatch..."

Yang Tian's heart jumped a few times and went to the Black Cloud Empire... He pretended to be enlightened on his face, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty's vision, I sigh that I am not as good as I am... But this time I asked me to wait here, would it be that I want the Guards to conquer those bandits?"

Emperor Tianyou nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I mean. Originally, I was going to let a powerful brigade of the Guards go, but the grandson of the contemporary "Purple Gold Duke", Qiongdao Tianqiong Master recommended you in the post... He said that he hit it off with you at first sight, and knew that there were many talented people around you... The worshipers in the worship hall also said that the members of the Guards can come in handy now, and I really want to see if you can deal with these bandits. If you can easily deal with them, I will give you more important tasks in the future. If not, I will tell the truth, and you guys will stay in Shengjing honestly."

Yang Tian, ​​Long Feng, and Gnu fell to the ground: "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."

Before leaving the imperial study room, Emperor Tianyou seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, check why there were bandits at this time... Your subordinates are all children of the imperial officials, so there is no need to be afraid of offending anyone, right? Hahahahahaha..."

After walking a hundred feet away, Yang Tiancai whispered, "This emperor has already calculated it. Do you want me to stand up and offend people..."

Long Feng did not respond and thought for a long time before saying, "I don't know where the military factories of the Celestial Empire are. We have prepared for the expedition with such a big fanfare. There is no news at all. There is no abnormality in the military mobilization near Shengjing. It can be seen that their plan is very strict."

Gnu opened his mouth wide and said murderously: "Do you attack the Black Cloud Empire? Gnu likes it. Gnu wants to kill more miscellaneous parts of the Black Cloud Empire."

Long Feng gently flicked his finger and said swayingly: "If we want to join the siege of the army, this first step must be a better step. Don't make things clear, but you can't make a fool of yourself, right? As long as you do things in sloppy, the group of young men under him said that if you want to get some military merits, you can ensure that the Guards can go to the opposite side of the sea."

Yang Tian kept nodding and began to think about how to deal with those bandits.

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

In a sense, the Holy Dragon Guards Regiment is the highest-level army in the Celestial Empire. The lowest-level member of the regiment also has the status of a third-rank guard in the regiment. According to common sense, such an organization was originally a royal bodyguard group, but since it is impossible to dispatch large-scale formal troops now, and with Qiong Daotian's recommendation, they can go out to deal with some small bandits and accumulate some military merits, which is a natural thing. The relatives of the members of the regiment are also happy to see such things. Can some bandits holding kitchen knives and hoes be opponents of such an "elite" army formed by the "proud" disciples trained in the worship hall?

There were nine thousand,874 white horses of the same color. Each member of the group had an embroidered brocade robe. A small package was hung behind the horse. Inside was a unified fish-scale armor of the Guards. They were all good swords inlaid with gold and jade. Even if they could not cut iron like mud, they could at least cut wood like tofu. In addition, horses like dragons, and individually handsome men. Such a team passed through the city in a big way through the gate of the palace, which caused a sensation. The officials of the court all felt very happy, feeling that the grandson, son or nephew had really made a fortune. The girls on both sides of the road secretly pointed and their hearts were rippling.

Yang Tian was holding an imperial edict for sending troops in his arms, accompanied by a secret edict that could conduct cheap investigations on the basis of the bandits, and he felt very comfortable. Long Feng was holding a green jade in his hand and kept playing with it. Gnu was the most hard-working. The two extra horses were carrying his armor, and he kept taking care of them all the way. Feng Ling'er sat on the horse in a daze, and she was still muddy in her head, and she didn't understand what she had wasted so much time on Long Feng and what to do in the future. After all, her head had not been used for a long time, and now she would be a little confused after thinking about the problem a little.

From Shengjing City to the north, a vast basin surrounded by mountains is the fiefdom of the "Zijin Gong". There are 12 Xiongchengs in the basin, with more than 50 million residents, and the private army of the Gongfu exceeded 500,000. It is the most powerful among all the founding fathers of the Celestial Empire.

According to a governor of the Qiongjia Private Army who followed the army, the bandits were about 10,000, not local residents of the basin. They fled into the basin from somewhere two months ago, causing great uneasiness to the local area. They had no place to live and had always plundered and left, but rarely hurt the people.

Long Feng suddenly sent a message to Yang Tian and said, "This is a typical rebellious people, and there is probably no combat effectiveness. The Qiong family boy gave you a great contribution. Remember to thank them well."

Yang Tian nodded slightly and agreed.

There were constant laughter and whistling sounds from the queue. The young men had always been around the Shengjing, and had never seen the scenery of the Celestial Empire hundreds of miles away from the capital. They were constantly bluffing the scenery that the people were accustomed to every day.

There was nothing to say along the way. In addition to Yang Tian's purse being slightly plump, Jiang Chunshui and Zeng Guoxuan's pockets also began to bulge. After all, they were all people who were close to the most powerful people today. Local officials could not help but feel a little bit more filial. The hope of their promotion in the future would be so great. To be honest, after passing more than 20 prefectures along the way, Yang Tian and the others did not accept much bribes. Yang Tian received only more than 1.5 million taels of gold.

There were fewer ones than Jiang Chunshui and the others. However, Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui were also very interested. They took out a lot of them from their own portion to make up for the price difference between Yang Tian. As for the jewelry given to them, the exceptional filial piety on May Day gave Feng Ling'er. It may be an instinct of a smart creature. When they faced Feng Ling'er, they felt that their vests were cold, and their hair was standing upright. Especially when they heard that Feng Ling'er had a punch to destroy a building on the first day after entering Shengjing, they naturally had to flatter him.

Yang Tian said behind his back with a very regretful pity: "A female ghost is so greedy for money, I really don't know what she is thinking." Long Feng understood one thing, just like Long likes to collect treasures for no reason, Feng Ling'er also likes to collect these shining things by nature.

With military orders, although it wasted a lot of time for a banquet, it still arrived at its destination in early ten days. "Golden Wind City" entered the gate of the basin from the central plain where Shengjing was located. Qiong Daotian led a group of experts to welcome him at the city gate.

Qiong Daotian greeted Yang Tian with a smile: "Mr. Yang, thank you for the last sword."

Yang Tian started fighting and said, "You are kind, you are so kind, as long as Master Qiong likes it. I really thank you for recommending us to suppress the bandits this time. This is a free opportunity to make contributions."

Qiong Daotian was very happy. Since the short sword created by Long Feng himself, he has challenged twenty famous masters in the world in a row. Without exception, he was knocked down by a strange force emitted from his sword. Therefore, the one who repaid his favor gave Yang Tian a chance to make a fortune in vain.

Qiong Daotian set up a flowing mat in the post station of the 'Golden Wind City', and let the young men of the Guards have a good meal. During the meal, Yang Tian smiled and asked Gnu to bring a long package and hand it to Qiong Daotian, saying, "This is a long sword that Master Longfeng just repaired. The materials and craftsmanship are the same as the short sword last time... I originally had to give it to the adults at the same time last time, but with a little damaged area, it was so disrespectful to give it to Master Hou like this. So I brought it here this time. Master Longfeng used a lot of effort to put it on it, and its power would only be stronger than the sword."

Qiong Daotian was ecstatic. Although the short sword was powerful, it was not suitable for him to use. Now, looking at the body shape of this package, it was the kind of two-handed sword suitable for use on the battle formation. With that strange power, wasn’t it like he was killing enemy generals among thousands of troops?

He took the long sword, which was very heavy, just in line with his wishes, but Qiong Daotian was not anxious to open it on the spot and said lightly: "I remember this favor, I will remember... Lord Yang will give me any orders in the future."
To be continued...
