"Barracks."Ning Chen's eyes brightened. The so-called training camp was arranged in the military camp, of course, not the Lizhou military camp. He planned to build three secret training camps in the name of military camps in Donglin County, Linxi County and Shanhai County. In this way, the suspicions of those forces can be dispelled. The imperial court wants to expand the military camp, and the aristocratic families and sects have no control over it. The only downside is that they are afraid that some forces will secretly investigate the origins of the people in the training camp. They will definitely be able to trace it back to the Li family. By that time, Li Quanwu, the leader of the branch of the Martial Arts Alliance, will have been killed before his title is announced to the world. Ning Chen made a plan but did not give any orders. He called Cao Chong and secretly went to Li's house to ask Li Quanwu what arrangements were made regarding Hancheng in Jingzhou? If there is an arrangement, then do it according to the method of the Boxing Saint King Seal. If not, then do it according to his method. late at night. Cao Chong returned to the palace and went straight to see Ning Chen. "How did he say?"
"Your Highness, there is a message from Hancheng that the training camp is to be discussed between Your Highness and Alliance Leader Li. Alliance Leader Li asked me to ask Your Highness if you have any good suggestions." Ning Chen frowned and waved at Cao Chong. As the latter left, he muttered to himself: "Wang Yin really doesn't want to use his brain at all. Isn't he afraid that if the training camp is really built, he won't obey his orders?" "I still need to explain the matter of the training camp to Xie Zifeng." …… Fast forward to early October. The weather is getting colder. Ning Chen has been trying to reach the Wanxiang Realm, but has not made any progress for the time being. However, his cultivation in the ninth level of Tiangang has become increasingly pure, and his combat power has increased by more than double. Half a month later, he called Xie Zifeng. Xie Zifeng has been busy with conscription recently, and the news had already spread throughout the counties of Lizhou, so Ning Chen found him and told him about the secret formation of a martial arts alliance between His Majesty and the eldest prince. Xie Zifeng was not surprised after hearing this. Instead, he clapped his hands in approval: "Your Highness, this is a good thing. You should have told me earlier." Ning Chen smiled and said, "The timing wasn't right before, but now is the right time." "The three training camps will be located in Donglin County City, Linxi County City, and Shanhai County City. The number of people will be around 10,000 to 20,000. They will enter the training camps one after another. The instructors must have the cultivation level of the Myriad Realm." Xie Zifeng nodded: "That's fine, but I have a question. Those independent martial artists and martial arts families are heading for the Martial Arts Alliance. They just want to seek protection and may not have the intention to join the army. If they see through the purpose of the training camp, will they object?" "After all, the training camp is too formal, military training. If a martial arts alliance were to do this, I would have thought the martial arts alliance was planning a rebellion. I will directly persuade them to withdraw." Ning Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Xie. Since it has been sent, it is known and voluntary." Xie Zifeng nodded: "Okay, that's fine, I will do as your highness orders." Ning Chen said: "Let's keep this matter secret for now, just keep it to yourself." "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what to do." After Xie Zifeng finished speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.
The court's goal is indeed good. If it is achieved, the overall strength of the Daning Dynasty will increase several times. By then, all sects and families will submit. If you surrender, you will be used by the court. Then the fighting power of the imperial army will become extremely terrifying. Will they still be afraid of not being able to defeat the demon clan, the wild clan, and the sea clan? There's no problem in flattening them. After Xie Zifeng left, Ning Chen was about to continue practicing when Gou Da Teng arrived. Ever since the bandit threat in Lizhou was eradicated, Gou Da Teng and other members of the Gou family have returned to their status as children of aristocratic families after leaving the military camp. "Mr. Gou." "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Li." "No need to be polite, please take a seat." Ning Chen was still very polite when facing Gou Da Teng. After Gou Da Teng sat down, he looked at Ning Chen with some surprise: "Congratulations, His Royal Highness Prince Li." Ning Chen knew what Gou Da Teng meant and smiled, "The pills are piled up, and the cultivation realm is unstable." Gou Da Teng said: "That's incredible. Not everyone can achieve this level of cultivation by taking pills. One still needs to have talent." In terms of martial arts talent, some people will be stuck when they reach a certain level of cultivation, but without good comprehension, and they may not be able to break through even if they take elixirs, unless they are some special elixirs. Many warriors will be stuck at their extreme level for decades or even hundreds of years. Apart from the accumulation of energy, there will be no change in their cultivation level. You may not be able to break through even until you die of old age. He originally thought that Ning Chen's talent was only at the Tiangang level, and that he would need to practice for at least twenty to thirty years. However, it has only been a short time, and he has already reached the ninth level of Tiangang and is ready to impact Wanxiang. He cannot be considered a late bloomer, but there are indeed people in the world with talents like Ning Chen. He did not show much talent in his youth, but when he was in his twenties and thirties, his comprehension was extraordinary and his cultivation strength soared. The Fist Saint King Seal is an example. In fact, he admires people like this. Because he had a very good talent for cultivation when he was young, and his cultivation speed was also very fast. He reached the Lingying realm at the age of twenty, the Tiangang realm at the age of twenty-five, and the Wanxiang realm at the age of thirty. Now he is almost fifty years old and has reached the seventh level of Wanxiang. In twenty years, he still hasn't broken through from the All-Seeing Realm to the Divine Power Realm. The speed of cultivation has obviously dropped a lot. Of course, this phenomenon is normal and many people experience this. Gou Da Teng has thought about it. Even though he is now at the seventh level of Wanxiang, it will probably take him another 30 years to reach the realm of supernatural powers. He can only break through if he can develop martial arts supernatural powers. If no innovation is achieved, the stay will be longer. "What brings you here, young master?" Ning Chen changed the subject. Gou Da Teng said: "Your Highness may not have noticed that the Li family, a first-class family in the city, has been doing something secretly recently. Many independent martial artists have been coming and going frequently. Some small families and sects in the county city have also been in close contact with the Li family."
"Other first-rate forces in the city have already discovered this and are coming to question our Gou family. Our Gou family has also sent people to keep an eye on the Li family for a while, and even captured several independent cultivators to interrogate them, but to no avail." Ning Chen was not surprised after hearing this. It was normal for the major forces in the city to keep an eye on each other. Recently, the Li family's people had been coming and going frequently, so they must have aroused suspicion. After a little hesitation, Ning Chen said, "Master Gou, I will not hide it from you. His Majesty sent me to Lizhou to secretly form a branch of the Martial Arts Alliance. The campaign to eliminate the mountain bandits was my own doing." "Martial Arts Alliance?" Gou Da Teng frowned. Ning Chen told Gou Da Teng the details of the Martial Arts Alliance. Gou Datang didn't react excessively after hearing this. He drank his tea, pondered for a while, then looked up and said, "Your Highness, I don't know whether the Martial Arts Alliance can be established, but His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. The whole Daning knows about this. I personally think that you should make plans early." Ning Chen knew what Gou Da Teng meant. He wanted him to have his own power, in case his father became ill and the eldest prince ascended the throne, he would be easily killed if he had no foundation. Seeing that Ning Chen did not object, Gou Da Teng continued, "If the Martial Arts Alliance is truly established, either Your Highness should control it in your own hands, or it should not be established at all, because if it is truly established, it may not necessarily be beneficial to Your Highness, but will instead help the eldest prince." "I'm going to say something that Your Highness may not like to hear. If the eldest prince really ascends the throne, he may not tolerate Your Highness. Since His Majesty has named Your Highness the King of Li, why don't You use Lizhou as your base to build your own power?" "Whether you are loyal to the court or protecting yourself in the future, Your Highness will not be passive." Ning Chen said calmly: "I understand what the eldest master said, but my foundation is shallow, and many forces may not be willing to be loyal to me. Maybe when the news reaches Kyoto City, His Majesty will think that I have a rebellious heart." Gou Da Teng said: "Then Your Highness, have you ever thought about why His Majesty conferred the title of Prince of Li on you? There are princes in other realms, but I haven't heard of them being conferred the title of Prince of Li." Ning Chen frowned. He was not very clear about the other princes' situations. "What does the eldest prince know?" Gou Da Teng said: "The second prince Ning Feng went to Fengtian, and I haven't heard of any movement. The fourth prince went to Luozhou, the sixth prince went to Qingyang, the seventh prince went to Xiliang, and the eighth prince went to Yanzhou." "My Gou family has learned about the situation. Except for the third and fifth princes, all of you, the eldest prince, have been crowned kings. Only you are in your own fiefdom. The other princes are not in their own fiefdoms." "The Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Eighth Prince have not made any moves in the various regions. The Second Prince is traveling around, and the Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Princes are drinking and having fun every day." "The Seventh Prince went to Xiliang, which is the territory of the Tang family. However, the Tang family originally stood on the side of the imperial court. It must be relatively easy for the Seventh Prince to set up a branch of the Martial Arts Alliance in Xiliang. However, the Gou family also got the news that the Seventh Prince did not seem to be very dedicated." Ning Chen frowned. Was he the only one handling this in secret? "I can't control what other princes do. Since your majesty sent me here, I will definitely not let your majesty down." Gou Da Teng said: "Your Highness still has to do it, but you have to be careful." Ning Chen looked at Gou Da Teng and said, "Young Master, do you have any good ideas?" Gou Da Teng's eyes flickered as he said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Since our Gou family has agreed to the marriage between Emperor Ning and Your Highness, we will naturally do our best to help Your Highness." Ning Chen nodded, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gou Da Teng. Gou Da Teng was curious, so he took a look at the secret letter and couldn't help laughing: "I've heard that your highness has a close relationship with Lord Chen, and Lord Chen is helping you behind the scenes, so your highness can go ahead and do it boldly." Ning Chen said, "Marquis Chen asked me to make a big fuss in Lizhou. The bigger the better. I wonder what the eldest young master thinks?" "Haha, I thought of the same thing." Gou Da Teng laughed loudly, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Among all the princes, which one does Your Highness dislike the most?" Ning Chen was slightly stunned: "Why do you ask that, young master?"
Gou Da Teng lowered his voice and said, "Since Lord Chen suggested that Your Highness make a big fuss in Lizhou, then we can't just follow common sense. Clearing out the bandits is the first fuss, destroying Dinghai Tower is the second fuss, and the third fuss will be to destroy the banker, and the fourth fuss will be to split up the martial arts alliance. I think we should not do this secretly, but just expose it in the open." Ning Chen frowned and said, "How can this be possible?" Gou Da Teng said, "Your Highness, don't think too simply. No one knows the real intention of the eldest prince in setting up the martial arts alliance. His Majesty may want to test you. If you do this secretly, you will not blame others if you are killed. But if you do it openly, even if things get out of hand, you will be safe. It should be said that you are safer." Ning Chen pondered for a moment and said, "The Sixth Prince bullied me the most." Gou Da Teng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's start from Qingyang Territory. My Gou family will secretly send people to spread the news of the Sixth Prince's intentions in Qingyang Territory." "Let the Sixth Prince take the blame. When the time comes, Your Highness will ask the Li family to act openly and publicly establish a branch of the Martial Arts Alliance." Ning Chen was stunned. He didn’t expect Gou Datang to do this? However, they were still a step too late. Before the Gou family went to Qingyang Territory to spread the news secretly, Ning Chen's formation of a martial arts alliance in Lizhou Territory was exposed first. The three first-rate families in the city went straight to Li Quanwu. The Gou family naturally also got the news. Gou Datang was speechless. He didn't expect that other princes acted faster and secretly spread the news in Lizhou before him, wanting Ning Chen to take the blame. If he had known Ning Chen's real purpose of coming to Lizhou earlier, Ning Chen would definitely not have been the one to take the blame. Now Ning Chen is clearing out bandits in Lizhou, and the commotion is very loud. The other princes must have received the news. A prince coming to Lizhou and forming an army so quickly to sweep away 300,000 fierce bandits must have been feared by other princes. Although it caused a big commotion, his ability was also highlighted. "Li Quanwu, get out here!" "Li Quanwu, you think you can join the Martial Arts Alliance? Don't you even look at what you have?" "Li Quanwu, your loyalty to the imperial court is your Li family's business. If you secretly form a martial arts alliance to be loyal to the imperial court, my Geng family will not agree." All the first-rate families outside the city got the news, and the heads of the families led their men straight to the Li family and yelled at them. Li Quanwu, who was sitting in the main hall, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. "Mad, who spread the news secretly?" Li Quanwu was extremely angry. He believed that the Ninth Prince would never say anything nonsense, and would not say anything about those who were willing to join the Martial Arts Alliance, because saying it out would mean death. "Dad, the Cao family, the Mo family, the Geng family and other families have come to our door." Li Quanwu's son Li Yuanheng had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Now, the Martial Arts Alliance's branch has been discovered with less than 10,000 members. If things go wrong, his Li family may be exterminated. Li Quanwu stood up and walked out of the hall, his eyes fell on the three heads of the Cao, Mo and Geng families. The three were about the same age as him, and their cultivation strength was slightly stronger than his. The head of the Cao family was at the ninth level of the Wanxiang realm, and the ancestor of the Cao family was even at half a step away from supernatural powers. The Mo family and the Geng family are slightly weaker, but the strength of two of them is also at the seventh or eighth level of Wanxiang, and there are also three or four people in the family who are at the Wanxiang level. "Brother Cao, Brother Mo, Brother Geng, please come in." Li Quanwu said with a smile. Cao Peifeng, the head of the Cao family, snorted coldly: "Li Quanwu, your Li family has surrendered to the imperial court?" Li Quanwu whispered, "Brother Cao, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Cao Peifeng snorted coldly and walked into the hall. The head of the Mo family, the head of the Geng family and others walked into the hall one after another. Even an elder from the Fushan Sword Sect brought his disciples to the Li family to inquire about the situation. Li Quanwu invited everyone into the main hall and served tea. "Li Quanwu, tell me, what is going on?" Cao Peifeng didn't even drink his tea, but stared at Li Quanwu and asked. For a moment, dozens of family heads in the hall stared at Li Quanwu. Li Quanwu's face was grim. "Senior Boxing Saint Wang Yin, I don't need to say more. The Martial Arts Alliance was established by Senior Wang Yin in Lizhou. It was also to provide shelter for the independent martial artists. There was no other intention." (End of this chapter)
