My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 92 I like older people
Southern Qi and Northern Ning were two countries in opposition.

This pattern has existed since ancient times.

I don't know if it is a coincidence or some other cause and effect, but there are six factions in Southern Qi and six sects in Northern Ning. There are endless conflicts along the long border between the two countries. Wars break out every once in a while, sometimes it's the Ninglu invasion, sometimes it's the Northern Expedition of Da Qi. Conflict and confrontation are always the main themes.

After all, thousands of years of accumulated hatred have made the dispute irreconcilable.

Even the most appeasing and peace-seeking factions would only dare to say "there are more important things to do right now, let's defeat the Ninglu next year." As for the pacifists, they have no room to survive in either country.

It seems as if there is an invisible hand controlling everything, causing the conflict and hatred to continue forever.

But the two countries are in opposition, each has its wins and losses, and neither can do anything to the other. This is an objective fact. Under the stalemate of equal strength, another form of communication will naturally occur.

For example.

Poach each other and benefit each other.

The two countries have similar national strength, but their cultures, systems, customs and social systems are completely different.

The Southern Qi Dynasty used the Jianghu to support warriors. The warrior class was an important participant in the country's economic activities. The most outstanding warriors entered the ruling class through the imperial examination. The Jianghu was a corner of the country, stable and prosperous.

But there is no underworld in Bac Ninh.

Warriors are natural military aristocrats. Once they achieve the ninth rank, the Golden Tent will allocate land, cattle, sheep and slaves to them. There is a strict hierarchy between the upper and lower classes. Warriors are born noble, and if they want titles, fame and fortune, they can all be obtained through military merit.

The differences in the warrior ecology between the two countries, the exaggeration and distortion of propaganda, and even the beauty created by distance have led to those who are dissatisfied with the system in their own country always having an unrealistic and naive yearning for foreign countries.

The warriors of Southern Qi felt that the court was too strict, that the martial arts rewards were like dog chains, and that there were heavy laws, so that even the common people dared to disrespect the noble warriors. They were far inferior to the warriors of Beining, who were born noble and could own slaves and land after success, and had the power of life and death in their hands to take and deprive. This was what practicing martial arts was like, so satisfying.

There are also warriors in Beining who feel that their country is too competitive, competitive in military achievements, and competitive in cultivation. Once they become warriors, they will be put on the chariot of Ningguo, and spend the whole day either fighting or practicing. If they slack off or their martial arts progress slows down, they will either die on the battlefield or die in the high-level lord ceremony challenge from the kings who come up from below. All their reputation, land, children, and wealth will be taken away by the other side.

In comparison, Qi was a wealthy country, and joining the army was not the only way to get a job. There were many jobs available, and as long as you had money you could live a comfortable life. Even if you were not good at martial arts, no strong people would come to humiliate or plunder you. It was actually a hundred times more comfortable than Ningguo.

With thoughts like these, every year Ningqi warriors would come to each other to negotiate.

Not only did the middle and lower level warriors take spontaneous actions, but there was also a phenomenon of high level warriors defecting.

Even today, recruiting important officials, famous generals and masters of the enemy country has become a national policy of both countries. Poaching at the national level is going on all the time. Once a top noble from the other side defected, they would often be granted high positions and generous salaries to show their loyalty. Later, they simply started to disgust people -

No matter whether you come here or not, or whether you have the intention to do so or not, as long as they like you, they will directly grant you an official position and a title.

Come and fulfill it.

Not coming? It doesn't matter if you don't come.

We have nothing to lose anyway, so guess who will get bullied?
Now this set of things actually fell on Li Bai's head.

The head master laughed happily, but Lord Li couldn't laugh. It was indeed bad news. The malice of the northern barbarians was about to overflow.

He sighed: "The territory of Da Qi is like a sieve."

The two factions were fighting just yesterday, and Beining was able to know the whole situation overnight. This shows that Ningguo’s spies are everywhere, and there may be many hiding in Linxian County.

After learning about this, they publicly conferred a title on Li Bailong, which was even more malicious.

After all, Fenglin Huoshan lost such a big person, so the first reaction must be to deal with it coldly and save face, while the Lingyu Sect is eager to recruit talents, and now Lian Shi Shuen has taken the lead and there is no need to do any small tricks. So in this regard, the attitudes of the two sects should be surprisingly consistent.

That is to downplay the airship incident, control the conflict, and turn the contradiction into friction between the two factions.

In particular, it cannot be said that it was Feng Lin Tianjiao who bullied Baihua Valley and framed someone, and as a result, the common man drew his sword in anger and blew up the strategic decisive battle weapon that had just been taken offline.

However, why would Beining help you conceal the Fenglin Volcano?
The uglier the six major sects make trouble, the happier Ningguo will be. This time, not only has it been embarrassed, but its ass has also been exposed. Of course, Beining will make a big fuss and let the world know.

Besides, in Bac Ninh, Li Bailong was also one of the war criminals.

The reason why Li Bailong made military achievements and was awarded the title of Yunqiwei was that when he went deep into Beining for reconnaissance, he discovered the large warehouse that the Ninglu had built for three years for the southward invasion. He then led a large army to raid it and burned it to ashes. This greatly affected Beining's invasion plan and put Li Bailong's name on the table of Emperor Ning.

With such deep friendship, Beining will definitely lend a hand.

"Now, I can't hide it anymore."

Yang Ying said: "Even if Lingyu Sect and Xuanyuan Sect protect you and help you suppress the news, the six major sects cannot control Beining. Ning Manzi will definitely help you become famous..."

This is known to everyone.

Then Fenglin Volcano must regain its lost face no matter what...

This is equivalent to Li Bailong and Fenglin Volcano being put on fire by Beining.

Thinking of this, Li Bailong couldn't help but feel itchy. He now only hoped that Fenglin Huoshan would turn the muzzle of the gun and stop staring at him all day to output, so as to prevent him from discovering the master's secret... But now, things have changed again.

——You donkey Ning Huang! You are actually adding fuel to the fire! Damn you!
Seeing the daring disciple showing a distressed look, Yang Ying thought he was afraid, so he comforted him: "Fortunately, only Ning Manzi wants this to become a big deal, and the various factions in the court all hope to deal with it coldly, so there is still hope to suppress it. This kind of reputation is harmful to you, and the world only wants to see the excitement of Fenglinhuoshan and laugh at it. No one cares what you think..."

He does not mean that.

A light flashed through Li Bailong's mind.

and many more!

What does the world want to see?

Indeed!
This is definitely a hot spot, whether it is Qining or even the surrounding small countries!
When everyone heard about this, they would definitely want to know the inside story. After all, Fenglin Volcano was defeated by mortals. What a big attraction! What an exciting plot!

So what inside information could be more real and eye-catching than the autobiography of the person involved?

If I write the cause and effect of this incident and embellish it a little, I'm sure many people will buy it. I believe the proud spirit in this major event will surely make countless readers tremble with fear!
A national hot search!

Beining is eager for everyone to know about this. I gave them first-hand information. Without any urging, they will find ways to spread this stuff all over the world!
Is it not enough to have the will to give back?!

In his mind, Aozi shouted excitedly: "Fuck! Damn! Write it down, write it down!"

"Indeed!"

Li Bailong thought: "But Da Qi will definitely not be able to sell it. Even Lingyu Sect and Xuanyuan Sect will not approve of me continuing to provoke Fenglinhuoshan. The court will not approve of me taking advantage of others and continuing to humiliate the six major sects. Once this post is published, it will be directly censored, but-"

"But I can submit my work to Beining!"

——Sage and wise Emperor Ning! I am a marquis! You gave me the title!
It is reasonable for a great northern superpower to help its newly-appointed marquis publish a fascinating biography at public expense about how he beat up enemy princes and shot down enemy strategic weapons, right?
When Li Bailong thought of this, he became more and more eager to make a move.

Beining intervened and put him on the spot, using the power of a country to buy trolls, create hot searches, and guide public opinion, so his reputation is really ruined. A truly wise man is good at finding opportunities in desperate situations. If this is the huge traffic imposed on him by the country... then I can only say that this wave of headlines and hot searches, I will definitely get it!

Even Wang Feng can’t stop me!
His eyes flickered as he began to think about the plan.

Then I heard the head master say: "...What kind of tricks are you thinking of?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bailong immediately changed his expression and said angrily: "Beining barbarians, you are bullying me too much. I am thinking about how to retaliate!"

This is the truth!

I used the willpower that the people of Bac Ninh helped me gather to defeat Bac Ninh, and the feeling was as satisfying as if the country used the tax revenue generated by the Japanese and foreigners paying for the 0 God and Azuma routes to build amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers to maintain free trade!
However, my uncle was born in a military family, and my grandfather was a pillar of the Liangjiang defense line, the iron wall of the empire against the northern barbarians. If they knew that I was secretly communicating with Beining, sending literary works that were difficult to pass the review, were not upright, and slandered the princes abroad, and letting foreign barbarians appreciate and spread them...

That’s okay too!

This is a propaganda tactic and a full-blown ideological invasion!
Look, Fenglinhuoshan is one of the six sects of the Southern Dynasty, equivalent to the six sects of Beining. How respected they are. However, the geniuses of this sect bullied and oppressed ordinary warriors, and were fought back by Li, who came from a humble background, and were badly defeated. Fenglinhuoshan suffered such a great loss, and they were unable to retaliate afterwards!
Doesn’t this just demonstrate the superiority of the system of our Great Qi?
Even the most ordinary warriors, their lives and personal rights will be protected by the laws of Qi. Even the six major sects cannot encroach upon them. In comparison, Beining, you have to wait for your people!
——If Lin Aotian sent his troops to Beining, they would be equal to ten Eight-foreign Army troops!
When Li Bailong thought about this, he felt that this statement was perfect.

An honest man like my master can definitely be fooled.

Damn it, the court didn’t ask me to take charge of the cultural front. It’s a loss for the people and a sorrow for the country.

Yang Ying asked curiously, "Why are you getting more and more excited the more you think about it? What are your plans?"

Yeah, there is.

Uncle Master, do you have...that...communication channel with Beining?

Of course I don’t dare to ask that.

Damn it, Beining promised to confer a title on me, was it just empty talk? Where are the eunuchs who delivered the decree? Where are the certificates of the title? How can I listen to the Ning Emperor's instructions? What is the frequency of the Ningguo Voice radio station?

Li Bailong hesitated.

The Fenglin Volcano incident actually gave him quite a boost, making him realize that he still had the will but not the strength to fight at a higher level. The improvement of a warrior's cultivation was limited by the martial arts feast, and if he wanted to become stronger quickly and without side effects, writing books to collect willpower was the only way.

He actually wanted to get some of the traffic from this wave of hot searches in Beining.

The sadness of this world is not being forced to kneel, but wanting to kneel but having no way to do so.

Now that things have come to this, I may have to ask my pen pals...

Li Bailong thought about it and felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, the people from Lingyu Sect will be here today, and the matter is set in stone. The other party has done such a great favor that he has no room to refuse... He has to live in Biyoutian for a few months at least.

But that’s fine.

Under the protection of the Lingyu Sect, contact with Ningguo is called foreign affairs activities, and submission of articles to Ningguo is called an international literary forum. Anyone who comes to complain will be slapped in the face and shouted, "How can that be the same?"

Thinking of this, he calmed down completely.

Anyway, Senior Brother Xiong said that the Minister of Agriculture will come to pick me up. If it doesn’t work, I can ask him.

This thought was suppressed and curiosity arose.

After all, he was Chinese, and being conferred a title of nobility reminded him of Huo Qubing and Qi Jiguang, so he asked, "Master, what title did Emperor Ning confer on me? What is it?"

Yang Ying glared and asked, "Why, do you really want to be a marquis?"

Li Bailong said with a playful smile: "I'm curious. I can take advantage of people from Ningguo if I meet them later."

"Come to think of it, you have run into it." The head master uncle also found it funny when he said this, "Fourteen years ago, Tushan Marquis, one of the five hereditary marquises of the East Court of Beining, died at the hands of my father. The military position has been vacant ever since. Several mountaintops in Beining have been arguing over this hereditary marquis position. The Emperor of Ning couldn't make up his mind and no one was suitable to give it to. This year, six more sects joined in the quarrel, so the Emperor of Ning simply gave it to you. It's really a joke."

Li Bailong was stunned and said, "Tu Shan Hou? That sounds terrible!"

It would be better to say that the five great hereditary marquises of the East Court are dedicated to military warfare, and their titles are all related to killing, such as Nirvana, Ninsha, and Tushan... Each one of them is very violent, and you can tell from the names that they are not easy to mess with.

How could a pure little white flower like him deserve to be on par with these evil men?
"Marquis Tushan died in battle, so this title belongs to him forever, so I gave you a new one that's even worse than this one. After all, it's just to tease you... It's said that Emperor Ning is domineering and casual, and that's true."

Yang Ying shook his head and said, "I have heard the contents of the imperial edict. It basically says that you are notorious in the Liangjiang defense line. Your terrifying reputation can stop children from crying at night. You have slaughtered countless officers and soldiers in Beining. Therefore, you are named... Marquis of Horror."

"Fuck!" Li Bailong said angrily, "What is this argument based on? Isn't this just accusing an honest man?"

Yang Ying said helplessly: "Before you cry out for injustice, do you want to take another look at Wenren Zhuo's body? I think that no matter how notorious those four nobles are, they may not dare to hack and kill the geniuses of the six major sects like that."

"..."

Shet!

"It has already happened, I won't say anything more."

Yang Ying thought about the troubles of the past few days and finally sighed: "After all, it was Baihua Valley that implicated you."

Li Bailong bowed and said, "Master, if you say this, it means you don't recognize me as your disciple."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Yang gently stroked his cheek.

In the blink of an eye, I have grown so big.

She sighed and said, "I really regretted it at the beginning. If I hadn't been naughty and took out your "Lin County Investigation" to brag about it, you would have been Brother Zhang's favorite disciple now."

"But if Master Uncle hadn't asked me to do so, Master Zhang wouldn't have agreed to accept me as a disciple."

Li Bailong said in a deep voice: "Only if I stay in the valley can I help our sect get out of the crisis today. This is also a fate destined by heaven. The seeds of today's outcome were sown when Master-shi rejected all objections and accepted me as his disciple."

Yang Ying stared at Li Bailong for a moment, then shook her head and smiled: "What a pity."

"Uncle?"

"It's a pity that she's too young." She looked at Li Bailong and smiled, "She's different from my junior sisters. I like those who are older."
