Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

The talent Meng Zhao mentioned was of course not in martial arts, but in all aspects of life.

It seems that the Zhen Cheng in front of him, after being persuaded, not only confessed his origins clearly and neatly, but also took the opportunity to establish a relationship. Even if it was just a little bit closer, a little bit closer, it would be of great benefit to him as a prisoner.

Meng Zhao thought for a while and realized that this person was neither the mastermind behind the scenes nor the person leading the operation. There was no need to deal with him, so he said,

"Well, since you said so, we are just colleagues. Also, since you have not treated my third brother harshly, I will not humiliate you too much. Therefore, I hope you can cooperate more, and maybe we can be more cooperative. There is a perfect outcome.”

Zhen Cheng felt relieved. He didn't want to break up with Meng Zhao shamelessly. He just wanted such a promise. Now that he had the promise, a serious problem in his heart was removed. He said,

"Okay, King Menglong, you have said this, then if I don't know how to praise, I will be looking for death. This is what a wise man will not do. If you have any questions, just ask them together. I just have something to say. If you know it, you will not hide it.”

At this time, there were only two people in the study room. Whatever they said would not be spread outside, so there was no need to hide it.

That's why Zhen Cheng is like this. If it were Jiansi or Luo Peng who were so stubborn, they might not have the chance to be captured. They might have committed suicide as early as the moment of defeat.

Since a person is in his own hands, he is a piece of good fat meat. When and how to eat it, Meng Zhao has plenty of time to think about it. He is not in a hurry, but said with a little doubt,

"Why are you targeting me? Whether it's the Meng family or I, Meng Zhao, I ask myself that we are all honest and do our duty without any overstep. We treat the court and the emperor with respect and courtesy. Could it be that when the emperor behaves like this, he is not afraid of attracting criticism? , is it chilling?”

Zhen Cheng smiled coldly, shook his head and said,

"Hahaha, King Menglong, King Menglong, you have unparalleled martial arts skills and outstanding intelligence. How could you not think of why, maybe not intentionally, to test whether I can sincerely cooperate with you?

Forget it, I'll try to explain it to you, and it's up to you to believe it or not.

From what I understand, the Great Emperor Beitang Sheng is a man with a very deep palace, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Moreover, he has always been arbitrary and likes to dominate the world. In today's world, he is extremely dissatisfied with the situation where powerful families and he rule the world.

Moreover, the land of China is now full of wars and chaos. He is extremely wary of any people or forces that may threaten his position as emperor.

Although your Meng family only holds the title of earl, you are one of the founding nobles of the country, and your ancestor Meng Shentong made outstanding contributions. In terms of merit, it is more than enough to be granted the title of marquis, and it is also possible to be granted the title of Duke.

It was only because he offended too many people and caused too much resistance that he was granted the title of Nan'an, but the founding emperor also compensated him.

Therefore, your Meng family has become stronger, more prosperous, and has endless foundation for more than a hundred years. In addition, in recent years, you have become a unique talent, making the Meng family gradually overwhelm the Lei family and become a force that attracts the attention of the emperor.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the emperor will deal with you, the Meng family, and you, the Dragon King of Beimeng, the only difference is sooner or later. "

Meng Zhao nodded. This was indeed the case. No one in power would allow anyone who threatened him to exist. Even if there were such people, they would be suppressed in advance.

To put it another way, Beitang Sheng has too many people to deal with, and there are too many forces to target. Be it Meng Zhao or the Meng family, the threat is not great for the time being, so Beitang Sheng is just I sent out a few chess pieces and made some tentative efforts, but it was far from the time to use real methods.

"Hey, in fact, what the emperor is most afraid of is you, the Dragon King of Beimeng. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Meng family is, the emperor will not take it seriously."

This is a different kind of people-oriented approach.

If Meng Zhaoqi had not risen to the top and single-handedly pushed the reputation of the Meng family to its peak, and the Lingwu Meng family he founded had become dominant, even if the Meng family of Nan'an wanted to overpower the Lei family of Beining, it would not have been that easy. .

After all, there is the Beitang royal family between them, and the royal family has been balancing the situation between the two families at a macro level, and will never allow the east wind to overwhelm the west wind.

And as long as these two families maintain a balance of power, you contain me and I consume you, then the emperor will not rashly set his sights on the Jizhou level, and even think about dealing with the Meng family.

Jizhou is one of the nine ancient states. It is a land of great wealth, rich in resources, and a land of royal wealth. What is even more frightening is that here, there are all kinds of powerful forces blooming, with hundreds of flowers blooming. There is no holy land, and families with nine surnames operate here and have leaders.

This means that if a certain force unifies Jizhou, it will become a behemoth comparable to the Nine Surnames, and it will become a serious problem for the Beitang royal family.

Of course, this cannot be accomplished overnight. The Meng family has been working and operating here for more than a hundred years. This has been done for generations, and they have already accumulated endless knowledge.

Meng Zhao's appearance was the element that directly triggered and detonated this foundation, even leading the Meng family to a higher level.

This is by no means an exaggeration of Meng Zhao's role, but his potential, martial arts, and various performances have made many hesitant forces make choices in favor of the Meng family.

He is the soul of the Meng family. With him, the Meng family is popular among the people. Without him, the Meng family is only a slightly stronger local force and not worth fearing at all.

This is also the reason why Emperor Beitang Sheng wants to deal with Meng Zhao instead of dealing with the Meng family directly.

Meng Zhao is the emperor's real worry.

The Meng family in Nan'an is widely involved and has interactions with many top powers. It cannot be easily shaken, but it is easy to alert the enemy.

Although Meng Zhao is extremely talented and has made some achievements, his foundation is shallow. Moreover, as the soul of the Meng family, if he is hit to a pulp and is left in a state of disrepair, the Meng family will also be vulnerable.

In Zhen Cheng's understanding, Beitang Sheng asked Jiansi to come to Lingwu City to deal with Meng Zhao. In fact, he hoped to completely defeat Meng Zhao, not to kill him. Even if he could break Meng Zhao's martial arts will, he would be unable to make any progress from now on. , is also a great achievement.

However, this is the most impossible thing.

After all, Meng Zhao had become a peerless master and defeated Wu Huai'en, which was already widely known and spread throughout the streets.

Under this situation, even if the three of them were brave enough to die, their sacrifice would be in vain and they would not harm Meng Zhao at all.

After meeting Meng Zhao, Zhen Cheng was even more convinced of this. This man's martial arts cultivation had really begun to transcend the ordinary and become a saint. It was still unknown whether a peerless master would reach his limit.

If you really want to kill Meng Zhao, you have to gather six fierce swords and set up a sword formation, or even if the six sword masters become masters, then there is only a third chance.

This is not a baseless guess, but a conclusion drawn by Zhen Cheng based on his feelings after getting along with Meng Zhao.
