Martial Cultivator

"It sounded extremely dangerous at the beginning. When you first raised the army, Your Majesty only had 800 strong men. It was really difficult to fight against a country with one place. Without the help of national advisers, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve the emperor's career today."

Song Lian was very emotional. After all, when the Emperor of Liang raised his army, no one thought highly of the vassal king who only had 800 guards. But who would have thought that in just three years, the entire Liang Dynasty would have changed hands. However, Both the current majesty and the deposed emperor are of the bloodline of Emperor Lingzong, so the world quickly accepted this fact, and there was no turmoil at all.

Song Lian said, "If the deposed emperor continues to reign, he may be a benevolent emperor, but I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for the people of Daliang."

Although the young deposed emperor had shown his benevolent character in governing the country during the first few years of his reign, in terms of martial arts, the deposed emperor was just a martial artist from the third realm and had no talent. He was not good at the northern realm. Regardless of whether they were the guardians within the territory, they seemed to have no desire to control it. This was definitely not a good thing for the Liang Dynasty.

This dynasty may not need a benevolent king, but it definitely needs a resolute and heroic leader to control the monks in the north and outside. 🄲

The previous emperors of the Daliang Dynasty may not have been benevolent emperors, but they were definitely heroes. Otherwise, the Daliang Dynasty would not have become a prosperous age that far surpassed the previous dynasty in just over two hundred years.

"His Majesty Lingzong was actually a little confused back then. If he had chosen to pass the throne to His Majesty after the death of the prince from the beginning, how could there be so many things?"

Daliang Dynasty's people are open to the public. Although this kind of thing cannot be discussed outside, it doesn't hurt to say a few words in private. Even if someone exposes it, it won't be a big problem.

Chen Chao frowned and said, "When the prince passed away, if Emperor Lingzong chose to pass the throne to His Majesty, would the prince's descendants, including the deposed emperor, survive?"

Song Lian glanced at Chen Chao and said, "Although your majesty is not as lenient as the deposed emperor, he is definitely very generous. If the emperor of Lingzong is really your majesty, then your majesty has justifiably ascended the throne. Why bother to kill people again?"

Song Lian was a little serious. When he talked about this matter, he changed a little. He was different from before and was not so easy to talk to.

Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "That makes sense."

He thought for a while and said, "In the thirteen years since His Majesty has been on the throne, except for the Weizhou flood in the eleventh year of Tianjian, there is indeed nothing to criticize."

Mentioning the flood, Song Lian said with emotion, "This is a natural disaster that cannot be stopped without human power. The imperial court had tried its best to save people during the flood in Weizhou, but it was too sudden, and the demon clan in the north that year Also returning home, the treasury is empty, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible

Not that many people could die. "

Song Lian suddenly asked, "You were the governor of Tianqing County before, and before that, you were also in Weizhou?"

Chen Chao nodded without hiding anything and said, "It's all over."

Song Lian glanced at Chen Chao with a complicated expression and said, "A little resentful?"

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I am very lucky to be alive. There is nothing to be resentful about. The imperial taxes are sent to the north so that the people of the entire Liang Dynasty will not be bullied by the monsters. The people in the south do not listen to horse hoofs." It has been said for many years, this is something that requires gratitude, how can there be any resentment? "

Song Lian patted Chen Chao on the shoulder, was silent for a while, and said, "The Liang Dynasty now relies on those in the north and your Majesty, but in the future, young people like you will definitely be needed."

Chen Chao has now made a name for himself in the city of Gods, and his career in the future will not be too bad. If he is lucky enough to become a strong man in the Wangyou Realm in the future, then whether he continues to move forward in the lineage of the Guardian, Still going to the north, he will definitely be one of the future pillars of the Liang Dynasty.

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "I am just thinking about living as a minor official when I am a low-ranking official. How can I have such a big ideal?"

Song Lian said meaningfully, "What we should do with some things is not something we can decide. When walking in the world, how many steps can we take according to our own wishes?"

"Sir, you have suddenly become so serious, which really makes me uncomfortable."

Chen Chao looked at Song Lian and joked, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Song Lian said seriously, "These are all idle talk. You still need to work hard now to..."

Chen Chao nodded and interrupted, "The official will make good preparations for the Wanliu Conference."

Song Lian glanced at him and said helplessly, "Am I talking about this? I'm talking about my life-long event. You guys have to hurry up and get it done. I don't have much time left."

Chen Chao sighed and said, "I've been here for the past few decades, and I don't know why, but now I suddenly become impatient."

"You care about me? Just take the money and handle your affairs. Where did you get all this nonsense?" Song Lian snorted, obviously not satisfied with Chen Chao's reaction.

Chen Chao waved his hands, looking helpless.

"By the way, sir, I'm afraid you have to take me to see that courtyard. Is there any

It is still not convenient to do some things in the academy. "

Chen Chao had beaten his muscles in that courtyard before, but he still felt uncomfortable. Although the academy was safe, the feeling made him uncomfortable.

Song Lian took out the key from his arms, threw it to Chen Chao, and said, "Since I want to take a look, I will take you to take a look. Anyway, I have a rest today and have nothing else to do."

Chen Chao took the key and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, can you help me keep an eye on it? I was injured at the royal banquet last night."

Song Lian sneered, "Now you fucking ask for something from me? Then do I have to sit down and raise the price?"

"This makes no sense, sir. Who are you? The majestic commander of the left guard of the city of God. A man who defecates in the latrine with his face facing outward. I am a low-ranking official working under you. Isn't it reasonable for you to take care of me? Besides? If your performance at the Wanliu Conference is delayed due to this injury, it will be a disgrace to the Guarding Envoys. You don’t want to see such a situation, right?”

Chen Chao's face was full of flattery, and he looked like he really didn't deserve a beating.

Song Lian said displeasedly, "You're such a bitch who dares to fall in love with you, you just don't want to suffer any loss, right?"

"I will definitely try my best to help you solve the problems for the rest of your life!"

Chen Chao chuckled, his eyes sly.

…

…

The courtyard prepared by Zuowei Yamen for Chen Chao is actually only two streets away from Zuowei Yamen. It is a quite quiet courtyard. Although the location is a bit remote, it is possible to get such a small courtyard in this area of ​​Shendu. , is already quite difficult.

The two came to the end of the long street. Chen Chao opened the courtyard door. There were two small locust trees planted in the courtyard. There were not many fallen leaves on the ground. Song Lian said before that he would find someone to clean it frequently. It didn't seem like he was doing it casually. explain.

"How is it, okay?" Song Lian said with a smile, "Your house is not much worse than mine. You can get this kind of treatment just by holding a temporary job. If I had known about such a good thing earlier, I would have practiced hard to do it." What?"

Chen Chao retorted, "If you didn't practice hard and become the commander of the left guard of the city of God, how could you still have the chance to meet your subordinate?"

Song Lian sneered and said, "You're a shrewd kid. You're not too annoying. You just use your mouth to make trouble, right?"

Chen Chao smiled and took out something from his arms, handed it to Song Lian, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, are you going to break through?"

Song Lian stared at the thing Chen Chao handed over.

Xi, instead of picking it up immediately, frowned and said, "Where did you get these things?"

"It was a gift from someone else. I thought you might need it, so I gave it to you."

Chen Chao handed the thing over. It was a blood ginseng, about the size of a palm. It was at least decades old. This blood ginseng was priceless. It was not something that could only be explained by money. It was originally the most precious gift from the second prince, but it was a waste for Chen Chao's state to use it to stretch his body.

He had known before that the commander was preparing to break through, so when he went out, he thought of this blood ginseng, which was originally intended to be given to Song Lian as a thank you gift.

To thank him for the life-saving grace of Tianqing County.

Chen Chao has always been like this. If there are favors, he must repay them, and if there are enemies, he must also repay them.

Song Lian took the blood ginseng, his eyes softened a little, but he still shook his head and said, "This thing is too precious. Although I am indeed attacking the other shore, I can't accept it."

As the commander of the left guard of the city of God, Song Lian naturally has a high level. He has already been a strong man in the middle level of the other side. He is only one step away from the upper level. If there is such a thing to help him, he is afraid that he will be a little more confident. , after becoming a martial artist in the upper realm of the other shore, it seems that you have reached the foot of the mountain and can finally climb the mountain called Wangyou.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you may have misunderstood me. I have always been a warm-hearted person. When I was in Tianqing County, I often helped people. When your Excellency saved Xiaguan from that woman, Xiaguan didn't have time to repay her. Now Although Xia Guan is reluctant to part with this piece of blood ginseng, if I give it to you, I will give it up."

Song Lian's heart warmed up, but he still hesitated, "This thing is too precious. Although I really have a life-saving grace for you, but, whatever, since you are so sincere, it would be wrong for me not to accept it. But you have to know that I can’t take your things for nothing. So, if you are killed by those monks from outside the country one day, I will go all over the world to help you collect your body!”

Chen Chao looked at the commander in front of him, was silent for a while, and followed his words and said, "If such a day comes, I will definitely give you a dream in the middle of the night to express my gratitude."

Song Lian frowned and said, "No need."

Chen Chao looked extremely serious, nodded and said, "Definitely."

Song Lian smiled and said, "Then I'd better prepare a good coffin for you."

Chen Chao looked at him and also smiled and said, "Sir, it's not easy for you to grow so big, right?"

I really like Song Lian, but...
