Chapter 2956: Assassination from the saint of Hehuan Sect


    Chapter 2953: Assassination from the saint of Hehuan Sect


    The rule of the Central Plains of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties was still very stable. Cao Wei was forced to evacuate Yanxi and had no time to arrange a backup plan, but it still caused so much trouble to the Qin Dynasty, let alone Zhu Ming, who took the initiative to go out to Qingnan and arranged a large number of backup plan in advance.


    With Zhu Di''s character, would he do nothing and leave a Qingnan with a population of one million, a well-developed agriculture and intact?


    It is impossible to use your toes to know.


    So, although after Zhang Liang arrived, the problems in Qingnan seemed to have been solved, but in fact they were just hidden, and a bigger storm was brewing.


    At this time, in the Qi Palace, Zhang Liang was playing chess with Fan Zhongyan.


    Fan Zhongyan considered himself a master of chess. Even if his level was not as good as a national player, he was still at the level of a national player. As a result, he was easily crushed by Zhang Liang after more than ten games, and even had to vote for several games.


    Looking at Fan Zhongyan with a painful and entangled look on his face, Zhang Liang asked with a smile: "Are you going to do it?"


    "If you can''t play, you won''t play anymore. The adults are very skilled in chess, and they are not as good as you can."


    Fan Zhongyan said angrily, losing so many things in a row made his mentality a little broken.


    "Ha ha…"


    Zhang Liang laughed and said, "Brother Xiwen, if you return to Beijing to work in the future, you can find more national players such as Lin Xincheng to compete with you. If you reach your level of chess skills, you can only make progress when you show up with national players."


    Although this era has become much richer and colorful due to time travelers such as Ying Hao and Ye Qingmei, the activities that can be used for entertainment are still limited, and Go has become the number one sport for literati. No scholar can do not know how to play Go, and officials will also cultivate their sentiments by playing Go in their spare time.


    Because there are too many people who love playing Go, a large number of related industries have even been derived, such as chess halls that specialize in playing chess, chess factories that specialize in making chess, etc., and the social status of chess players has also improved.


    For example, Lin Xincheng, who was mentioned by Zhang Liang, failed to pass the Jinshi exam after two consecutive years, but defeated the national players Yan Ziqing and Ma Suiming because of playing chess, and later defeated Emperor Ying Hao. He was specially recruited into the palace to be appointed as an official chess assistant. This is also a model for entering the official career by playing Go.


    The position of the "chess saint" of the Qin Dynasty has been undecided, and many national players are also competing. The person who is most likely to achieve this is Lin Xincheng, because the other national players are his defeated players.


    The reason why Lin Xincheng failed to become a chess saint is very simple. Although he won all the national players, the gap between the top chess skills is not big, especially Yan Ziqing and Ma Suiming. Although both of them have lost to him, they have also won against him. The strength of both sides is equal, and the win or loss depends on performance and status.


    But since we are competing for the title of "Chess Saint", we must be the well-deserved number one chess player in the world and use our strength to convince all national players. Obviously, no one in the current Daqin chess world can do this, even Lin Xincheng, who has achieved half of the Chess Saint achievement.


    Maybe the Go boy with the same name as Xuanzang can achieve this achievement in the future.


    Although Fan Zhongyan knew that he was not Zhang Liang''s opponent, he was still a little unwilling to give up. He wanted to have another match with Zhang Liang when he was itchy, but Shangguan Haitang and Ren Qianxing walked in. Since he had official duties, he could only choose a day to fight again.


    "Sir, the heads of 36 large and small sects, including the Sea Shark Palace, Zoroastrianism, Hehuan Sect, Giant Sword Sect, God of Food, and Meihua Villa, have all come to the banquet." Shangguan Haitang reported with a serious face.


    Zhang Liang looked dissatisfied when he heard this. After all, there were only three first-class sects among these sects, and the others were either second-rate or third-rate, so naturally he did not have the qualification to distract him from paying attention.


    "Didn''t the Chess Saint Sword Ancestor come?" Zhang Liang asked.


    Ren Qianxing, who was in charge of the invitation, heard this and immediately knelt down on one knee and apologized: "My subordinates are not doing well. Although they found the residence of Qianling Qisheng based on information, they could not find his trace."


    The Chess Saint Sword Ancestor is from "Demon Sword Life and Death Chess". His original name is Yan Qianling. He wrote "Qian Ling Chess Book". He is recognized by Qi State. Later, after Qi Ming merged, he became the Chess Saint of Ming State. He won the title of Sword Ancestor because of his superb sword skills, so he was called the Chess Saint Sword Ancestor.


    Of course, this title is limited to the Ming Dynasty. No one recognizes it after leaving the Ming Dynasty. After all, only the Ming Dynasty was banned by the countries, and it was not until the seventh Central Plains War that the ban was lifted and forced to unite.


    Yan Qianling had a great reputation in Ming Dynasty. He clearly refused Zhu Di''s recruitment and was one of the rare opposition masters with a neutral position.


    If Zhang Liang wants to completely solve the hidden dangers in Qingnan, he must first solve the problems of major sects in Qingnan. After all, these sects have surrendered to the Ming Cult before. Who knows how many people from the Ming Cult are hidden inside?


    Although the Qin Dynasty can forcefully send people to search by relying on force, doing so will alarm the enemy, and in the other hand, it will intensify conflicts, which will trigger turmoil in Qingnan, so it is best to let them cooperate actively.


    Yan Qianling is a hermit, and is jealous of evil. He has a very high reputation in the Ming Dynasty. If he lobbies, he can minimize the resistance of these sects.


    “Get up.”


    Zhang Liang took the initiative to step forward and helped Ren Qianxing up: "For a hermit like Yan Qianling, he will come naturally, and it is useless to invite him if he shouldn''t come and go. If he deliberately avoids him, you will not be able to find him."


    Ren Qianxing was extremely surprised by Zhang Liang''s courtesy. After all, as the other party, there was no need to be so close to him. At the same time, he realized that this might be his chance to hold his thigh.


    Ren Qianxing is actually very insecure. After Jia Xu resigned from Hei Bingtai, his successor Guo Jia seemed to have no good feelings for him. He repeatedly hinted that he had no reward for his loyalty, which made him eager to find a new backstage. After all, it is difficult to be reused without a backstage in Hei Bingtai, and Zhang Liang is undoubtedly a very good backstage.


    Ren Qianxing was actually thinking too much. In fact, Guo Jia not only didn’t dislike him, but also admired him very much, thinking that he was both wise and brave, and was a talent that could be made, otherwise he would not have been sent to assist Zhang Liang this time.


    The reason why he did not give back to Ren Qianxing''s hint was mainly that Guo Jia was neither willing nor wanted to take charge of the Black Ice Platform for a long time. He felt that he would be transferred at most for a few years, so naturally there was no need to have too much time to get involved with the Black Ice Platform.


    "But sir, Yan Qianling is not a pure hermit. He still has connections with the Ming court. If he is the secret son reserved by Zhu Di in advance, he would probably have hidden dangers if he asked him to come to the banquet."


    Ren Qianxing is also a versatile person. He knew that Zhang Liang''s decision was not something he could control, so he only said that there were hidden dangers, and he didn''t say that Yan Qianling would kill him if he really came. Zhang Liang showed surprise. Ren Qianxing, who was born in the Black Ice Platform, had a good emotional intelligence in addition to being quick and neat, no wonder Guo Jia said that he was a useful subordinate.


    How could Zhang Liang not know what Ren Qianxing thinks, but he knew that Zhu Di would definitely send someone to assassinate him, and he also needed an assassination to open the next drama, and it would be better for him to choose this person than Zhu Di.


    On the other side, the Qingnan School is located in the Haisha Palace.


    Yan Qianling, who was respected as the ancestor of Chess Saint Swordsman in the Ming Dynasty, was looking at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian''s brothers in front of him with murderous intent. The reason was that these two kidnapped his grandson Yan Zangfeng and used this to threaten him to submit.


    The locked by the grandmaster''s qi has doubled the pressure of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian. He couldn''t help but sweat on his forehead, and his back was wet with sweat.


    Seeing that Yan Qianling''s murderous intent became stronger, his son Yan Zhongyang said anxiously: "Dad, calm down. If you kill them, Zangfeng will be dead."


    "snort…"


    Yan Qianling snorted coldly and removed the murderous intent: "I can help you once, but you must let Zangfeng go first, and you must not hinder our family from leaving afterwards, otherwise I would rather burn both jade and stone than let you have a good life."


    Zhu Youxiao was about to refuse when he heard this, but was quickly seen by Zhu Youqiang, who was quick-witted, said first: "Yes, yes, yes, just do what you said to the old senior. In fact, we brothers were forced to do it because of helplessness. Brother Zangfeng is our friend. If it is not really necessary, how could we do this?"


    "Hmph, I hope you are confident, but Zhang Liang has a great master guarding him. Even if I take action, I may not be able to kill him."


    "Please rest assured of this. Since we brothers dare to plan to assassinate Zhang Liang, we must have a complete plan. You are only part of the plan. Even if it fails, there will be a subsequent move. This time, Zhang Liang, a traitor in the Ming Cult, will definitely die without a place to die."


    "You guys really have all the tasks."


    After sarcastically mocking the two brothers coldly, Yan Qianling turned his head and left, while Yan Zhongyang quickly followed his father.


    As Yan Qianling left, the pressure in the hall disappeared instantly. Zhu Youxiao asked his younger brother in confusion: "Second brother, why did you agree to Yan Qianling? Let Yan Zangfeng go first. What if Yan Qianling doesn''t keep his promise?"


    "No, this person promises a thousand yuan, and he will never regret what he promises. If we insist on letting go, we will break up with him. At that time, not only will we not be able to kill Zhang Liang, but we will offend a neutral master first, which will be worth the loss."


    Hearing Zhu Youjian’s words, Zhu Youxiao also felt that it made sense, so he no longer had to worry about whether to let others go first.


    Just as Zhu Youxiao brothers planned to assassinate Zhang Liang, the news that Zhang Liang would invite major local forces in Qingnan at the Qi Palace and convene a conference of Qingnan sects spread, and the leaders of the major sects naturally did not dare not come.


    In fact, even if Zhang Liang did not send people to invite them, these sects would come to him. After all, Qingnan has been firmly controlled by the Qin Dynasty, and the possibility of Ming Dynasty returning was slim, but they still had the mark of the Ming Cult.


    Therefore, if you cannot take this opportunity to express your loyalty to the Qin Dynasty and gain Zhang Liang''s approval, then the army will be in the forefront next time, so you naturally have to come this trip. It is best to use the Qin Dynasty to clear out the borers in the sect so that you can be completely safe and sound.


    Zhang Liang and most sects rushed in both directions, so as the leaders of the major sects arrived one after another, the atmosphere of the banquet naturally became more and more lively.


    "The Lord of the Sea Shark Palace, Lian Chiyan, has met the Governor."


    "The Zoroastrian leader Bai Ting has met the Governor."


    "Jin Ling, the head of Hehuan Sect, has met the Governor."


    Zhang Liang may not care about these forces in Qingnan, but the heads of these three first-class sects still need to give them some face, after all, they will still be useful in the future.


    Lian Chiyan and Bai Ting both come from "The Demon Sword Life and Death Chess", respectively the fathers of Lian Chixue and Bai Yuer, while Jin Ling is the founder of Hehuan Sect, one of the four major sects of the Demon Sect in "Zhu Xian", Mrs. Jin Ling.


    The three of them are about the same age, but as women, Jin Ling has the highest cultivation level and has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Grandmaster. Lian Chiyan and Bai Ting are both just elementary-level Grandmasters.


    The three first-class sects have masters in charge, which shows that Qingnan’s forces still have some foundation.


    Hehuan Sect is famous for its beauty. Although Mrs. Jinling is already middle-aged, she is still graceful. The seven female disciples behind her are all charming, which makes Zhang Liang, a person who is not lustful, unable to help but take a few more glances. After all, everyone likes beautiful things.


    Seeing Zhang Liang''s eyes stopping on his apprentice, Mrs. Jinling couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The purpose of her bringing so many disciples over this time was to give her daughter to please Zhang Liang.


    What Hehuan Sect lacks the most is beauties. Sacrifice of a few female disciples to protect the entire sect, which has always been the way for Hehuan Sect to survive.


    Mrs. Jinling thought Zhang Liang had fallen in love with her apprentice, so she quickly introduced enthusiastically: "Sir, this is the little disciple Jinlian, this is... This is the saint Zi Zhuer of my Hehuan Sect, and she is also the best in her old body..."


    Before Mrs. Jinling could finish her words, Zi Zhu''er rushed out, pulled out the dagger hidden around her waist, and stabbed Zhang Liang resolutely.


    "Dog thief, pay my life for Brother Tianpeng." Zi Zhu''er shouted.


    ?In the previous article, all three-pointed two-edged swords have been changed to three-pointed two-edged guns, and Yang Jian used the guns in the future.
