Chapter 361: Plotting Against the Zhao Family, Entering the Spirit Gathering Array! (Two in One)
When the troops returned to their base, they were dismissed by Wang Tianshuang.
He himself also left in a hurry, whether to heal his wounds or to do other business.
"This is over." Xing Tiexin looked at the disbanded team, still a little confused.
I always felt that it was a little bit anticlimactic.
"What else can we do? The ancestor of the Zhao family who has not appeared for decades or hundreds of years has been forced out today. This matter can only be given up. Is it possible that we still have a fight with the martial arts master?" Yang Zhen said. .
He thought it was normal.
If you don't retreat at the last moment, you won't be finished until you really anger that ancestor.
After all, the other party is a powerful martial arts master!
"It hasn't appeared in dozens or hundreds of years." Song Changming was very interested in the ancestor of the Zhao family.
He vaguely felt that the purpose of Wang Tianshuang and Meng Yuan's invasion of Zhao Mansion today was not really to capture people.
There were obviously reasonable and better ways, but he chose to use the most direct and brutal method, pretending to arrest all the important figures of the Zhao family at once, and his attitude was extremely tough.
Knowing that the bottom line of the family has been touched, the enraged Zhao family will not compromise. In Song Changming's view, this is more like a deliberate provocation, combined with the final change of attitude of Wang Tianshuang and others.
"Their aristocratic families will not miss the existence of the martial arts master and ancestor of the aristocratic family. Is it possible that their purpose is to provoke this ancestor of the Zhao family who has not shown up for a long time?"
Song Changming thought about it secretly and vaguely grasped some ideas, but it was still not clear yet.
After all, he is not a member of a noble family and does not know the many secrets of the sect.
It's not clear what the appearance of the ancestor of the Zhao family means.
"In short, there is no need to think too much for the time being. The three of us are not the protagonists now." Yang Zhen said.
Zhao, Wang, Meng, these three families in the core city, today Liangzi is completely tied.
At the family level, it was too late to confront each other. The three people who were the triggers were no longer the focus of attention.
I believe that after today, all the families and forces in the city will only talk about the appearance of the ancestor of the Zhao family.
This is an ancient figure who has not been able to escape the world for hundreds of years!
This time span is enough for too many people to forget the existence of this person.
And those who still know the ancestor of the Zhao family, without exception, are all members of the family.
"Let's go back and recuperate for a day or two. It's really unlucky. I didn't do anything today. I just watched a show and was injured." Xing Tiexin said depressedly, not wanting to drink and have fun anymore.
In fact, since the ancestor of the Zhao family appeared on the scene, all the military personnel dispatched, no matter the elite soldiers or generals, have suffered varying degrees of injuries.
This also includes Xing Tiexin and Yang Zhen.
Among the three, Song Changming was the only one who was physically intact, calm and calm, without any trace of injury.
At the same time, the Second City District, the headquarters of the military headquarters.
In a huge long white building, there were quite heated discussions.
"What happened today, you are too impulsive!" In the hall, a senior military official looked at the arrival of Wang Tianshuang, Meng Yuan and others, frowning and said in a low voice.
In fact, with such a big commotion today, these military officials should be even more angry.
But considering that the two people represented two top aristocratic families, these military officials did not dare to get angry and could only suppress their anger silently.
"The crimes committed by Zhao's people are not made up by us. The palace's official arrest procedures are also complete. Today is just a matter of business." Wang Tianshuang said calmly.
When a group of military officials saw Wang Tianshuang moving out of the palace to talk about something, they were choked for a moment.
But they all knew that it was in this official business that the problem occurred.
Aristocratic families harbor filth and evil, which has been a classic story for thousands of years.
Everyone knows this about each other, and if it makes sense on the surface, they won't hold on to each other so hard.
Unless the two parties are fighting each other at all costs, they will expose each other's background like this.
Obviously, this is a fight between the Wang and Meng families and the Zhao family.
It was normal for the families to have disputes, but what displeased the military officials was that Wang Tianshuang, Meng Yuan and others went to the Zhao Mansion with elite soldiers to arrest people. This was equivalent to pulling the military into line in disguise.
As for this matter, Wang Tianshuang did not communicate with them or obtain the consent of the military department. It was an act of making the decision without authorization.
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand!" A voice came from outside the gate, low and majestic.
Upon hearing this, all the military officials immediately stood up and saluted.
"Meet the Generalissimo!"
A tall, calm man wearing a purple and gold robe strode in.
Even Wang Tianshuang had to bow his head and salute when he saw this person.
This person is the military commander, Hu Zhong, the military marshal who commands the entire Cuibai Road army.
He holds great power, but his strength is unknown, and he is backed by the largest family in the core city, the Hu family.
He can also be said to be the most powerful person under King Cui, and few can rival him.
"What happened today is a fine of one bead and five years' salary. This is what Prince Cui wants!" Hu Zhong approached and said directly.
"Yes." Wang Tianshuang did not mean to argue too much and accepted the punishment from the military department calmly.
This seemed to be what he expected.
"In addition, this farce is over. There are frequent monsters outside Yunzhou. Now is not the time for you to fight among yourself. Besides, your goal should have been achieved."
When Hu Zhong said it at the end, he meant something.
He seemed to have seen the intentions of Wang Tianshuang and others.
"Yes." Wang Tianshuang's eyes flashed and he didn't say much.
Hu Zhong suddenly waved his hand and drove out all the officials including his personal guards, leaving only Wang Tianshuang alone.
"You just want to confirm whether Zhao Wenruo, who has not been around for a hundred years, is still alive. Unfortunately, you are disappointed." Hu Zhong put his hands behind his back and pointed it out directly.
When Wang Tianshuang heard the words, he raised his drooped eyelids and looked at each other, trying to figure out the other person's thoughts and attitude.
He knew that the other party was not only the military marshal, but also one of the important figures behind the Hu family.
To a large extent, the attitude of the person in front of you represents the Hu family behind you!
Finally, he said bluntly: "Disappointment can't be mentioned, it's nothing more than a good opportunity that hasn't come yet, but it will come sooner or later."
"Oh!" Hu Zhong sat down and made himself and Wang Tianshuang a cup of tea each.
"So, you have already seen that Zhao Wenruo's end is coming? On the contrary, after living for more than four hundred years, if he is not of immortal blood, it is time to die.
Once Zhao Wenruo falls, the Zhao family will have no one to replace it, and its decline is inevitable. By then, how many bites of such a big piece of meat will the Wang family want to take? "
Listening to Hu Zhong's questions, Wang Tianshuang was silent for a few breaths, knowing that this matter would not be able to avoid the Hu family in front of him.
In this case, there is no need to hide anything.
"It can take as short as ten years or as long as twenty years. The ancestor of the Zhao family will surely pass away. Our family and the Meng family have joined forces. If we can get the help of King Cui and the Hu family, we will be sure to swallow up the entire Zhao family!" Wang Tianshuang Take the initiative to bring it up and let Hu enter the game.
Hu Zhong nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Tianshuang's frankness was very helpful to him.
And the best result is to join forces among the three parties. It will prevent Zhao's fat and oily piece of meat from falling into other people's mouths, not even a tiny bit!
As for the distribution of interests among the three parties, there is no need to worry.
After all, the ancestor of the Zhao family has not passed away yet, and everything is still undecided.
"Then I'd like to ask the Wang family to keep a close eye on the Zhao family over the years to prevent the Zhao family from resurrecting. In addition, this matter must be justified and not cause controversy." Hu Zhong raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and handed over the tea he had brewed in his hand. . "This is natural." Wang Tianshuang took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
Disputes in aristocratic families occur over and over again, in this cycle.
Looking back at the long history, there is nothing new in this world.
After that day, Wang Tianshuang was willing to be punished and paid the price for his radical actions.
At the same time, the Wang and Meng families stopped making any moves and settled down.
Zhao was also quickly cleared of many suspicions of crimes. Although his reputation was affected, fortunately, he was not harmed.
The ancestor of the Zhao family who had not been around for a hundred years appeared again. Although he solved a crisis for the Zhao family, he also quietly planted hidden dangers.
As for Song Changming's side.
The fact that he killed Zhao Liang only spread among many aristocratic families, but it did not spread too widely.
In fact, this is not the first time that Song Changming has come into the eyes of aristocratic families.
In the previous military parade, Song Changming performed extremely well.
And this time, it was a feat beyond everyone's expectations.
If Song Changming was still a rising star in the military during the previous military parade, no one will regard Song Changming as a potential new star this time.
No one would treat Song Changming as an ordinary general again.
After all, what Song Changming killed this time was a genuine innate perfectionist.
And he is still the elder of the Zhao clan!
This achievement is enough to amaze everyone.
If he hadn't offended the Zhao family, Song Changming's residence would have been filled with invitations from various aristocratic families.
But it was Zhao's potential threat that allowed Song Changming to still enjoy the tranquility of the moment without being disturbed.
As for Zhao, in fact, he did not make any further comment on this matter.
Maybe it was the king and the Meng family who were watching so eagerly that they didn't dare to act rashly again.
Or maybe it was the warnings from the palace and the military that really put an end to this farce.
In this matter, Song Changming and the other three were the attackers in the truth. Even if they killed Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang, it was considered a legitimate act, and they were not punished by the military in the end.
On this matter, Zhao had already made a break with Zhao Liang and his son.
To put it simply, it was Zhao Liang and his son who acted arbitrarily. It was purely a personal act. They deserved their death and had nothing to do with the Zhao family.
After that, the Zhao family did not want to mention these two people.
The military department and the royal palace have reached a consensus on this matter and will not delve into it further.
The major incident was reduced to a minor matter, and the core city, which was originally filled with smoke, quickly returned to calm.
As for the ancestor of the Zhao family, after appearing once that day, he disappeared again.
The days passed.
At first, Song Changming was a little worried that Zhao would compromise openly and continue to take revenge behind the scenes.
But in the end he was overthinking it.
He underestimated the threat of the Wang and Meng families to the Zhao family, and also underestimated the constraints of the military and the royal family on the family.
The military department has stated that the three of them will be guaranteed, so as long as the three of them are not caught in any big way, they will be safe.
The third urban area, the house.
Ah Da and Ah Er stood in the corner of the courtyard, quietly watching Song Changming arrange the arrangements in the courtyard.
Now that the trouble has subsided, Song Changming called Song Ping'an and others back to resume their daily routine.
"Brother, what are you doing, Master?" A Er asked softly.
"Set up the formation." Ada practiced martial arts with Song Changming and often observed what Song Changming was studying on weekdays, so he had some understanding.
"Set up a formation?"
And Ah Er was a little confused when he heard it.
In the courtyard, Song Changming fiddled with dozens of low-grade spirit crystals on the ground, roughly using them to circle an area.
Then he arranged several medium-grade spirit crystals at the four corners, and used a large brush to carve runes on the ground.
Ah Da was right, he was arranging a rune array.
Perhaps because he had the foundation of the true meaning of the way of the runes, his progress in practicing the rune array this time was much faster than when he first came into contact with the way of the runes.
In just two months, he had made good progress.
[First-level Small Gathering Spirit Array: Getting Started (1/200)]
The small gathering spirit array is a basic rune array recorded in the book of rune arrays.
Although it is a first-level small array, its effect is not small.
As the name suggests, it can gather spiritual energy and create a place with abundant spiritual energy.
If arranged properly, the small gathering spirit array is equivalent to an artificially created paradise!
The reason why the spiritual energy of this Cuibai main city is higher than other places in the outside world is the reasonable arrangement of this gathering spirit array.
Including the mansions of the top families in the core city, they are also arranged with layers of rune arrays, among which there must be a powerful spirit gathering array laid by the master of rune array.
In terms of practicality, this array is beyond doubt.
Therefore, Song Changming also regards this array as his first study target.
In the courtyard.
Song Changming put down the last stroke, and the complicated runes on the ground suddenly seemed to be natural, causing the energy vibration of the whole courtyard.
At the same time, this array also established a wonderful connection with his spiritual body.
"Although I have just started this array and my skills are not yet perfect, I have failed six times, and it’s time to succeed once."
Song Changming muttered to himself, handing the big brush in his hand to A Da beside him.
This big brush is also not an ordinary item. He spent a lot of money to buy it at Tianbao Pavilion in the city, just to increase the success rate of the talisman array engraving.
Song Changming pinched his hand seal.
Since he was the one who arranged the talisman array, his mental power was the universal key to this talisman array.
As the mental power was input, there was a buzzing sound, and the inscriptions in the talisman array were lit up.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual crystals began to be attracted, and the entire talisman array started to work!
Under Song Changming's perception, he could clearly observe that the spiritual energy from all directions began to accelerate into the yard and then into the array.
The wind blew in the yard, and gradually, the spiritual energy in the talisman array gathered more and more, and became more and more dense as time went by.
Visible to the naked eye, a thin layer of spiritual mist rose in the yard.
Song Changming stood in the array, feeling comfortable all over, as if immersed in a vast ocean of spiritual energy.
In this environment, even if he did not practice deliberately, his Qi cultivation would tend to grow!
"It's done!"
