Chapter 224

It is common for a large mountain stronghold to have many small mountain strongholds inside, and Zhang Jie was already used to it.

Although the Great Song has always cracked down on forming parties, don't the various Privy Councilors who govern the world still enjoy forming parties and engaging in party strife?

In the Liang Shan that has just been established not long ago,

although everyone is currently united around him,

various small groups have already begun to form.

Not to mention the Horse Army, Army, and Navy fighting over the budget.

Other people are also divided into several factions according to their origin and region:

for example, the old Zhang family faction led by the old steward Zhang Zhong;

the Bianliang or outsider faction led by Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen;

the original Liang Shan faction led by Wang Lun; the surrendered general faction led by Li Family Manor owner Li Ying, etc.

And there is also the greenwood hero faction that naturally formed after Chao Gai came.

Even if Lu Zhishen and the others don't want to be leaders, there are always people who gather around them for various reasons.

Human nature is like this, Zhang Jie cannot stop it, he can only watch them firmly,

controlling the intensity of the struggle within a controllable range, so as not to be like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom,

where they started infighting before achieving their goals,

letting the Great Qing pick up a huge bargain for nothing,

and even creating a "Tongzhi Restoration" that is no different from a joke.

But fortunately, Liang Shan is still in its infancy, and most of the leaders have ideals and pursuits,

coupled with the Great Song as a great enemy, and Zhang Jie having enough power and prestige to suppress and

govern all parties, Liang Shan's current development is still flourishing,

and all kinds of disputes are still slamming tables in the conference room,

instead of stabbing each other in the back in private and fighting to the death.

At night, Water Margin Zhang Jie enters the shared space on time according to his usual habit.

But as soon as he enters, he finds that the style of tonight seems a bit wrong.

I see Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie in a white outfit, the most classic martial arts hero outfit,

holding a long sword in his arms, looking up 45 degrees at the sky, and saying in a somewhat desolate voice:

"You're here."

Opposite him, Yitian Zhang Jie has an evil and arrogant smile on his face,

looking like a god of war or a dragon king returning in an old urban novel:

"I'm here."

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie sighed, seemingly unable to bear it:

"You shouldn't have come."

Yitian Zhang Jie directly smiled like a crooked-mouth dragon king:

"But I still came."

Looking at this scene that was familiar yet completely different, Water Margin Zhang Jie's mouth couldn't help but twitch, complaining:

"I say, what kind of decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City are you two playing here?

Besides, neither Ye Gucheng nor Ximen Chuixue had a crooked-mouth dragon king smile, right?

You two are not putting enough effort into this cosplay."

"It's lonely to be a master."

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie continued to pose, looking like a peerless master who was lonely and cold.

Everyone is the same person, Water Margin Zhang Jie wouldn't indulge him,

spitting out a series of questions like a machine gun:

"Have you fought Mount Tian Shan Tonglao and Li Qiushui? Did you kill Ding Chunqiu?

Have you fought the final boss of the Heavenly Dragon world, the Sweeping Monk?"

"Uh..."

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie, whose bottom was exposed, touched his nose awkwardly.

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie hadn't done any of these things yet.

Mount Tian Shan Tonglao was his senior sister, so it was hard to make a move without a reason.

Although Li Qiushui and Mount Tian Shan Tonglao were at odds and wanted to put each other to death,

and she was one of the culprits who paralyzed his master Wuyazi for decades,

this was the grievance of the older generation, so it was really not suitable for him, a junior, to intervene.

And Wuyazi's last words were only for him to look after his daughter Li Qingluo,

that is, Lady Wang, not to kill Li Qiushui to avenge him.

It is estimated that in his heart, he not only missed the kindness of being husband and wife for a day,

but also felt ashamed that he had clearly married Li Qiushui, but fell in love with another woman,

and even carved a jade statue for this woman.

He planned to settle the Sweeping Monk and the traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect, Ding Chunqiu, together when the martial arts assembly was held.

As for the Sweeping Monk, it was mainly because he wanted to have a fair fight with this master, who even looking at all the Jin-style martial arts,

was firmly ranked in the top five among all the masters who appeared,

only clearly inferior to Yue Nu A Qing, who broke three thousand armors with one sword in "Yue Nu Sword,"

and Shi Potian, who learned "Tai Xuan Jing" in "Ode to Gallantry," to verify what he had learned.

The reason he thought the Sweeping Monk was in the top five without a fixed ranking

was that Zhang Sanfeng of the Yitian world,

and Dugu Qiubai, who was probably decades before the Eagle-Shooting,

made it hard to compare who was weaker or stronger among them.

As for Ding Chunqiu, it was purely because he disliked the Starry Sea in the Western Regions for being too hard to run to.

Anyway, with Ding Chunqiu's habit of loving to join in the fun, he would absolutely not miss the martial arts assembly,

so he only needed to wait for the rabbit.

Even if Ding Chunqiu changed his nature for a while and wasn't interested in coming to the martial arts assembly to show off his "Starry Old Immortal,

boundless magic power. Great supernatural powers, magic carriage to the Central Plains,"

his little disciple, the little demon girl A Zi, would steal his magic wood king tripod, which was necessary for practicing the Chemical Skill,

forcing him to come to the Central Plains.

The reason he seemed uninterested in these masters,

instead of breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion for the sake of internal energy like Yitian Zhang Jie, and beating the Xuanming Elders and others to death,

was because the Zhang Jies found that their internal energy had reached a bottleneck period,

and the internal energy of ordinary masters was already negligible to them.

What they needed now was not the accumulation of quantity, but a chance to form a qualitative change,

such as turning true energy into the magic power of the Qi-refiners in Xianxia.

The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is busy, all for profit.

Without benefits, he naturally didn't have much motivation and planned to let nature take its course.

"Here. Although I didn't fight my senior sister, I brought the things you need."

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie flipped his hand, and a secret manual appeared in his hand.

On the cover of the manual were nine large characters: "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, I Am the Only One Supreme Skill."

"Oh my, everyone is Zhang Jie, who is who with whom!"

Water Margin Zhang Jie hugged Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie's shoulder, looking like brothers.

"Cut!

A villain who forgets righteousness for profit."

Yitian Zhang Jie expressed disdain for Water Margin Zhang Jie's appearance of being arrogant first and then respectful.

Yitian Zhang Jie: Arrogant first and then respectful, thinking about it makes people laugh~

"Do you want it or not."

Water Margin Zhang Jie raised the manual and shook it in front of Yitian Zhang Jie.

"Want it, why wouldn't I want it!"

Yitian Zhang Jie snatched the manual.

Water Margin Zhang Jie needed the "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, I Am the Only One Supreme Skill"

for Pan Jinlian, Yan Poxi, Li Qingzhao, and the others to use,

and he also needed this skill for his Zhiruo sister to use.

He didn't want to see his Zhiruo sister become like Miejue Shitai.

Once he thought of the cute and charming Zhou Zhiruo possibly becoming like Miejue Shitai in the future,

with that gloomy look of 'everyone owes her millions,' he couldn't help but shiver.
