Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality
Chapter 42 Corrupt court, innate reward
In the winter of the thirty-sixth year of Xuanwu, the rebel generals occupied Jiangzhong City and threatened Lizhou with their troops.
The emperor was furious and ordered Julongguan to immediately send troops to cross the river and recapture the city in the river!
However, just when the whole world thought that a war was about to begin, news came that General Julongguan was assassinated outside the city and fell into the river, with his life and death unknown.
"Is the general at Julongguan really dead?"
Zhou Ming said in surprise.
Sun Tzu Bing said: "I don't know, but there is a high probability that he faked his death and escaped."
"Why?"
"Haha, although Julongguan is an important military town, the world has been at peace for a long time. This important town has not played a role for decades. Although it is said to be stationed with tens of thousands of troops, in fact, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses. That’s good. The general who defends the city cannot escape responsibility, so faking his own death is naturally the best way to escape.”
"So serious? However, your Jiangzhong City has deployed three thousand troops before, but Julong Pass only has one thousand troops?"
"What the general doesn't know is that Jiangzhong City is a place connecting the north and south of the Dalong River. Business is developed and there are countless wealthy people. Officials in the city have various channels to obtain gold and silver, making them rich and powerful.
Julongguan, on the other hand, was an important military town, but it was actually not wealthy. The officials there had no way to get money, so they could only focus on paying soldiers. "
What do ordinary people do as soldiers?
Serve the motherland?
Don't be kidding, it's just for salary. If the salary can't be paid out, everyone in the family will starve to death, so who would want to be a soldier?
They must have all left the army and gone to do other things.
The officials at Julongguan were also happy to see this situation. The soldiers were gone, so they didn't have to worry about what they would do because of their military pay.
Of course, when reporting to the superiors, there were still tens of thousands of full troops in Julong Pass.
In this way, the higher authorities will continue to allocate funds!
Sun Tzu Bing's face was expressionless.
Speaking of this matter, there was no fluctuation at all.
Obviously he is used to this kind of thing.
Why was he, a military commander of the imperial court, always coveting the innate secrets of the martial arts in the world, but never thought of obtaining them from the imperial court?
In the imperial court, innate warriors have appeared in every dynasty, and they obviously have stable ways to break through the innate ones.
The reason is precisely because Sun Tzu Bing has no hope at all.
Even if you surrender to the White Lotus Sect, the possibility of obtaining innate magic is higher than that of the imperial court!
"In other words, in a short period of time, it will be impossible to send troops to Julongguan to attack Jiangzhong City?"
"Exactly!"
"It's really... it's a waste of time that I have been under martial law these days!"
Zhou Ming said angrily.
A few days later, Emperor Xuanwu appointed officials as imperial envoys to investigate the death of General Julongguan. They also served as military governors and continued to carry out previous orders.
As a result, the imperial envoy mysteriously disappeared when he was halfway there, leaving no trace of his body.
At this point, anyone who is not blind would basically know that there is something wrong with Julong Pass.
Cheng Tong also realized this, so he ordered that half of Zhou Ming's troops be transferred away, and half of the warriors who worshiped him were also removed.
Among this half, Sun Tzu Bing is also included.
In other words, only Huilin was left by Zhou Ming's side.
"Cheng Tong, you are so cruel!"
After receiving the order, Zhou Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
If all these people are transferred away, the probability of being assassinated will greatly increase.
And with only Hui Lin, a first-class master, there would naturally be many loopholes in the protection.
Fortunately, Zhou Ming had obtained a human skin mask from Cheng Tong a long time ago. During this period, he has been appearing in front of the world as a human skin mask.
With this order, he directly handed over all matters in the city to Zhao Quan, and then hid himself, only communicating with Huilin through a single line.
As a thug tool trained by the White Lotus Sect, Huilin did not have to worry about his loyalty as long as it did not go against the interests of the White Lotus Sect.
As a result, although the protective force around Zhou Ming was weak, he was hidden deeper. Even if the charlatans got the news and wanted to earn the reward, they could not find him.
A few days passed like this, and suddenly another big news broke out in the world!
The Tianmen sect was used by the rebels and destroyed. Suddenly, several senior officials appeared in the imperial capital. In full view of the public, they added something to the reward list issued by the imperial court!
That thing was none other than the practice notes left by the former Venerable Tianmen, which included methods to break through the innate and a book of innate exercises!
But this reward was placed on Jiangzhou Wang Chengtong!
In other words, as long as someone can kill Jiangzhou Wang Chengtong, he can not only get a huge amount of wealth, but also directly obtain the method to break through the innate!
As one of the biggest rebels at the moment, Cheng Tong's reward amount was already at the top of the reward list.
In this way, he directly became the number one.
After all, wealth has a price, but breakthroughs in innate methods are priceless!
In the past, there were many martial arts masters who wanted to kill Cheng Tong to get the bounty, but Cheng Tong had many protectors around him. Even a first-class master could count them as many as two hands, so it was really difficult to get close to them.
But now, the situation is different!
From the situation of Sun Tzu Bing, Zhang Dajiang and others, we know that there are countless first-level warriors in the world. Because they have no way to break through, they can only stay in the first-level realm for more than ten years or even decades.
But the methods of breakthrough are all in the hands of the powerful sects, the imperial court, the White Lotus Sect, the Millennium Family and other forces, and no one has access to them.
This time, the reward was placed directly in front of you!
If you miss this time, there will never be a next time!
So what if there are ten first-level masters to protect you?
I can just gather twenty first-grade masters here!
Anyway, those innate methods can be copied and shared with each other, and there is no conflict of interest at all!
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Qianyun, a well-known Sanren master in the world, invited masters from all over the world to the bank of Boyue Lake to conspire on this matter.
On that day, there were twenty-three first-level masters participating.
In the following days, eleven more first-level masters joined.
A total of thirty-five first-level experts formed a temporary alliance and decided to jointly assassinate Jiangzhou Wang Chengtong!
After the deed is accomplished, everyone will share the reward and wealth equally, and everyone will share the innate method!
The news spread, and the world was shocked.
Countless people are discussing this matter crazily, thinking that after today, innate warriors will appear one after another in the world.
No one thought they would fail.
After all, those are thirty-five first-level masters!
In Jiangzhong City, in an ordinary small courtyard, Zhou Ming took the news from Hui Lin, looked at it twice, and couldn't help but sneer.
"I'm really looking for death..."
No one understands Cheng Tong's power better than him.
In addition to one innate, many first-level masters, and hundreds of third-level experts, Cheng Tong himself also had an unknown number of mysterious yellow talismans on his body.
These yellow talismans most likely come from immortal cultivators, and their power is extremely terrifying.
Even a first-level warrior can only dodge in front of these yellow talismans.
If these people make a secret alliance, secretly assassinate, and take advantage of the enemy when they are not prepared, there may be some chance of success.
But such a big fanfare will inevitably lead to failure.
"However, I actually issued a reward. It seems that my first plan failed..."
Zhou Ming shook his head and sighed.
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, thirty-five first-level masters entered Cheng Tong's military camp together.
Two quarters of an hour later, only two people returned home seriously injured, and at the same time they brought back shocking news.
"Innate...he has innate protection around him!"
