Time passed in a dull manner, and Chu Ming ushered in the day when he drew character cards.
"Xiao Tie, I want to draw a character."
"Okay, Master."
Chu Ming was still a little excited. Since the system upgrade, he had never won a platinum card, and he had some doubts about his luck.
Unexpectedly, he would be even more disappointed this time. The light beam first stopped in the bronze head area.
The Bronze Card Zhao Min is at the eighth level of innateness. This level is already of very little help to Chu Ming.
"Zhao Min meets the young master."
"Miss Zhao, please get up."
Zhao Min's talent should not be in such a state, but it is a pity that she does not have this ambition. For the development of his power, Chu Ming plans to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
"Shanhai Continent is a world of high martial arts. Without strong force as a guarantee, many things cannot be done."
Zhao Min also knew the meaning of Chu Ming's words. In the past, she could rely on her own wisdom and command countless wealthy people to cause earth-shaking.
But when it comes to Shanhai Continent, any conspiracy or trick is vulnerable to absolute strength.
"Don't worry, sir, Min'er will work hard to practice martial arts and improve his level as soon as possible. Only in this way can he serve you better."
Seeing that Zhao Min quickly understood his intention, Chu Ming was also very happy.
He originally planned to arrange for Zhao Min to join the Salt Gang and use her wisdom to help the Salt Gang further develop. However, considering that her strength was too low and she would not be able to protect herself if something happened, he gave up.
After careful consideration, Chu Ming decided to send Zhao Min to Shengxian Valley. Shen Luoyan was a good example.
The American military advisor is not only superior in wisdom, but also unrivaled in military force.
The smart Zhao Min also realizes that her shortcomings in force will be the biggest obstacle to her future development.
She has always wanted to be strong and naturally does not allow herself to fall behind others.
She also secretly made up her mind that no matter how hard or tiring she was, she would quickly improve her shortcomings in martial arts.
"There are still many students training in the valley, and you can also serve as an instructor. It won't be boring."
Chu Ming didn't want to put too much pressure on her, so he comforted Zhao Min.
"I know that there is a lack of specific exercises to teach students. Min'er happens to know some martial arts secrets, which can be used as teaching materials."
After hearing this, Chu Ming thought that Zhao Min was a mobile martial arts treasure house. This may be because she once imprisoned six major sects and asked for martial arts secrets.
Chu Ming was originally worried about the lack of martial arts and martial arts skills in cultivating talents, but now it's better, and all the problems have been solved.
"Miner is really my lucky star!"
"It's good if I can help you, Master."
"Have you mastered all these martial arts secrets?"
"Miner is not too stupid. I have already mastered these martial arts."
Hearing what Zhao Min said, Chu Ming felt relieved. In this way, the improvement of her martial arts realm would be the greatest guarantee.
Chu Ming took her to Shengxian Valley and introduced the new members to everyone.
"With the addition of sister Min'er, the teaching materials for the students in the valley are guaranteed."
The problem that had been bothering everyone for a long time was solved in one fell swoop. Shen Luoyan and everyone were very excited.
"The Salt Gang is still secretly collecting suitable orphans and will continue to inject fresh blood here."
"The first batch of students will officially enter Jianghu in three years. By then, our problem of insufficient manpower will be greatly alleviated."
As the person in charge of the training camp, Shen Luoyan confidently assured Chu Ming that the future demand for talent would be guaranteed.
"We are still in a low-key development stage. The existing personnel have been fully utilized and the foundation has been laid. We are waiting for the future students to become talented, and we have completely entered the stage of take-off."
Chu Ming's words also ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and everyone began to offer suggestions and contribute their own strength. "Min'er saw the training camp plan and wondered if we could add marksman training items."
"Tell me your reasons."
Chu Ming always encourages teamwork and hopes to bring out the characteristics of everyone.
"Although Shanhai Continent is a world of high martial arts, it also attaches great importance to long-distance attack methods. Whether it is the assassination operation in the Palace of Hell or other large-scale operations organized by the organization, the marksman can hide in the dark, which can not only ensure our safety, It can also cause huge damage to the opponent.”
"Sister Min'er is right. There are many examples of archers in Shanhai Continent becoming martial saints and martial gods."
Shen Luoyan was the first to propose supporting Zhao Min.
"Actually, no matter what weapon is used, it remains the same. In the end, it is just a change in the use of Qi. However, long-distance attack weapons do have their benefits, and marksmen are particularly important to us."
Zhen Gang expressed his support from a professional perspective.
"Okay, since no one objects, then Zhao Min will be responsible for selecting and training students with archer talents. I hope that a group of feared marksmen will appear in the world in the future."
Seeing that her own value was affirmed, Zhao Min felt sweet and naturally full of energy.
Finally, Chu Ming left Shengxian Valley with a long purchase order for supplies.
As soon as he returned to the county town, he received a message from Cao Zhengchun, saying that someone from the Sixth Prince's Mansion had sent one hundred thousand taels of gold to reconcile with the Palace of Hell.
These royal families are really rich. In order to show their sincerity in apologising, they spend amounts that ordinary people can't even imagine.
Chu Ming couldn't care about the Sixth Prince now, and the other party showed great sincerity, so the past grudges between the two parties were wiped out.
The Sixth Prince's envoy, who had been anxiously waiting for the news, saw that Cao Zhengchun had accepted the gold and accepted the explanation from the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and hurriedly returned to the capital to resume his duties.
In the capital, it was the Song Emperor's sixtieth birthday. After accepting congratulations from the courtiers, a grand family banquet was held in the palace in the evening.
Those who are capable of vying for the throne, such as the third prince, the sixth prince, and the eighth prince, are all tit for tat. The other princes have already chosen their supporters, forming distinct camps.
Only the second prince seemed to be alone. Only because of his background, there was no prince to win over him.
His mother was just a maid in the palace of the third prince's mother and concubine. King Song favored her after being drunk, and then he had the second prince.
After that, although his mother was granted the status of a noble person, she did not receive much favor from the King of Song.
No outsider can understand how difficult the life of a woman in the harem who has no family background and is not favored can be.
Ever since the second prince was sensible, he clearly remembered that he and his mother were the targets of bullying by everyone in the palace, especially the third prince and her mother-in-law.
In their eyes, their mother is nothing more than a maid, and her humble status will never change.
At first, the biological mother of the third prince originally wanted to win over her mother, but she did not expect that the Song King would be unkind and unjust. Soon it lost its novelty and turned a deaf ear to her mother.
Now that it had lost its use value, the third prince's biological mother began to crazily suppress their mother and son.
Due to the intimidation of the clan government, they did not dare to kill their mother and son easily, but all kinds of humiliation and suppression never stopped.
The eldest son of Emperor Song died young. In fact, the second prince should have been the leader of the princes, but the other princes had never had this idea, and even Emperor Song himself had not had this idea.
The second prince's martial arts talent was not very high, so he became a transparent person among the princes, and no one among the princes who were determined to seize the throne was willing to win over him.
"I usually know that you are simple, but today is my father's birthday after all, so it would be too much for you to just give me some birthday peaches."
The third prince's words quickly aroused laughter from the other princes and princesses.
In response to the ridicule of the third prince, the second prince was obedient and did not dare to resist.
His face turned red and white, and he just rubbed his hands uneasily on his seat. The other princes' reactions to him were also full of disdain.
"Third brother, what you said is wrong. In any case, this couple is filial to their father. The longevity peach represents longevity. What do you mean by questioning this?"
The sixth prince had no intention of helping the second prince, but he was still very willing to seize the opportunity to attack the third prince.
"Sixth brother is right. Second brother's birthday peach has a long-term meaning. Why are you saying it so badly? Third brother has other intentions."
Naturally, the eighth prince would not miss this opportunity. Although he knew that it would not have any real impact on the third prince, it would be nice to take the opportunity to disgust him.
Hearing the attacks from the two princes, the third prince hurriedly came to the center of the hall and knelt down, "My son, I really don't mean this, but please be aware of it."
"Get up, I know you are all filial, and remember not to hurt the harmony between brothers for trivial matters."
"Thank you, Father!"
The third prince returned to his seat anxiously. Emperor Song's thoughts were always difficult to fathom. He didn't know whether he was just speaking out of the situation or was trying to remind himself not to be too harsh on the second prince.
The sixth prince and the eighth prince looked at each other and smiled. Being able to lose face to the third prince at their father's birthday banquet was a victory for them.
It can be seen that the fight between them has reached an incompatible situation.
The Song Emperor saw all this in his eyes. The third prince's grandfather was the prime minister, the sixth prince's grandfather was the Taiwei, and the eighth prince's grandfather was the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Behind every prince is the support of a thousand-year-old family. I am afraid only they know how much respect they have for the imperial power.
It didn't take long for the third prince to return to normal, and he chatted happily with the sixth and eighth princes regardless of their past grudges, completely showing the scene of "brothers, friends and brothers respectfully".
Under the leadership of the three of them, the entire Song Emperor's birthday banquet became a happy one.
Only the second prince remained alone outside this circle.
Emperor Song spent his sixtieth birthday amidst the blessings of all the princes and princesses.
