Happy Little Scholar

"Suppress the Cangzhou rebellion at all costs, life or death!"

There was silence above the court, with all the civil and military officials bowing their heads in silence. Only the angry voice of the Emperor Wu echoed.

It wasn't until the court meeting dispersed and all the officials walked out of the main hall and out of the palace gate that the thick and oppressive atmosphere showed signs of dissipating.

An official caught up with a general in front and asked in a low voice: "General Cheng, what's going on? Didn't Prince Jing die early? What's going on with the Cangzhou rebellion?"

"If you have any questions about this matter, you can ask your Majesty in person. I have important matters to do first." The general bowed his hands casually and strode away.

Na Ge Shizhong looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.

Princess Duanrong and Prince Jing have always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart. Except for a confidant like General Cheng, who dares to mention them in front of His Majesty?

No matter how many people in the Wu Kingdom rebelled and proclaimed themselves kings, they would all be traitors after all. But Princess Duanrong and Prince Jing were different. They had the same origins as His Majesty, and they were both orthodox in the Wu Kingdom. Their side stood with the law of heaven.

Your Majesty is afraid.

Two years later, Princess Duanrong made a comeback. Cangzhou was suddenly captured, and there was a payment document written by Prime Minister Wang himself. Almost all the evil deeds he had done were made public. The payment document had even reached the imperial capital. It wouldn't take long. , the people of the whole Wu Kingdom will know that their emperor killed his brother, his father, and massacred the entire clan. He was completely unscrupulous and unjust, and he was punished by both humans and gods...

His Majesty no longer pretends to be brotherly and secretive as before. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he issued an order to do whatever it takes, regardless of life or death...

He will use power and force to silence everyone...

Among the officials who left the dynasty, some looked calm, some looked confused, and some looked worried.

In the back hall somewhere in the palace, Emperor Wu stood in the hall, looking at a eunuch below, and said: "Add Yang Fu's bounty to her. In addition, add another hundred thousand taels of bounty and tell those so-called martial arts heroes , if anyone can get Princess Duanrong’s head, I will be rewarded with 300,000 taels of silver!”

The eunuch bowed and said: "I obey the order!"

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor, ancestor, you can't go in!"

boom!

Suddenly there was a burst of chaotic sounds outside the palace, and then the palace door shattered with a loud noise.

"Yang Ze, I should never have let you live in this world from the beginning!" The old man with white hair and beard walked in from the outside, looked at Emperor Wu, his voice was cold and solemn.

"Uncle Emperor." Emperor Wu looked at him and said with a smile: "You and I are the only men from the Yang royal family who are dead. What does it matter if another insignificant woman dies?"

"In that case, I will send you to meet your father and brother!"

A sound like tearing silk came from the hall, and the white-haired old man disappeared from the place. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Emperor Wu. He turned his fingers into claws and squeezed Emperor Wu's throat hard!

His speed was so fast that the eunuch beside Emperor Wu was thrown away. Emperor Wu felt that he was locked by a qi machine, and there was a burning pain in his throat.

Death had never been so close to him, and there was a trace of panic and anxiety in his eyes.

boom!

After a muffled sound, Queen Wu took a few steps back, fell to the ground, and gasped for air.

A figure appeared where he had been standing just now.

It was an old woman with a full head of white hair but not many wrinkles on her face. She stretched out a hand and held the white-haired old man's wrist.

When Emperor Wu saw the old man being stopped, he gasped and laughed, his laughter getting louder and louder, "Emperor, uncle Emperor..., aren't you a master, aren't you invincible in the world? You kill me, I'm here, you Come here..."

The old man's wrist was held, and his expression finally changed.

Grandmaster, this old woman is also a Grandmaster!

He looked at her, frowned and asked, "Who are you, Your Excellency, and why do you want to get involved in my royal family's affairs?"

The old woman had a calm expression, let go of her hand, and said calmly: "He still owes me one thing, you can't kill him."

The old man's face calmed down. He didn't know where Yang Ze found this grandmaster, and he didn't want to know. He looked at her and said, "In that case, let's see if you have this ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body swayed and went straight towards Emperor Wu behind the old woman.

boom!

There was another muffled sound in the palace, and the old woman's figure appeared in front of Emperor Wu faster than him and stopped him again.

The smile on Emperor Wu's face became even brighter, and he sarcastically said: "Uncle Emperor, if you don't rush there, I'm afraid you will have to collect the body of your most beloved Princess Duanrong..."

The white-haired old man stood there, but no longer attacked. Instead, he looked at the old woman with doubtful eyes and asked: "Like a shadow..., who are you Xu Tian?"

"Do you know Xu Tian?" The old woman's expression changed for the first time, and her voice suddenly rose, even sounding a bit sharp.

"This shadow-following movement technique was created by the old guy when he was young. It was also something he was most proud of and often boasted about. He regarded it as a treasure. He didn't even teach me this movement technique back then..." The white-haired old man looked at him, his tone softened slightly, and said, "He actually passed this body skill on to you. Are you the disciple he later accepted?"

The old woman didn't answer him. After the initial excitement, her mood had calmed down and she asked, "Are you familiar with Xu Tian?"

The white-haired old man said: "When we were young, we were close friends..."

The old woman looked blankly and murmured, "We are close friends?"

"Back then, we were both only one step away from becoming a master, so we made a bet to see who would break through the barrier first..." When the white-haired old man recalled the past, he was completely unaware of the resentment and jealousy in the old woman's voice...

He was still talking nonstop, "Back then, I was one step higher than him, and he was resentful. In order to win me, he cut off all distractions, abandoned everything, and secluded himself for several years..."

The old woman closed her eyes and murmured, "In order to win you, I cut off all distractions, abandoned everything, and secluded myself for several years..."

She deliberately emphasized the words "cut off" and "abandon".

The old man nodded and asked in confusion, "Since you are his apprentice, has he never mentioned me to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, he raised one arm, clenched his other hand into a fist, and blasted forward!

Bang!

His body flew backwards, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes wide open, looking at the old woman who was also spurting blood, and angrily said: "Are you crazy!"

The old woman did not speak, and responded to him with an attack that was more fierce than before.

"Crazy woman, crazy woman!"

"Stop it, this will only hurt both sides!"

"Stop, I know Xu Tian, ​​I know Xu Tian..."

...

Since arriving in Wu State, Old Xu often stared blankly by himself, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory. If he didn't say it, Li Yi was embarrassed to ask.

He had been sitting there alone gnawing on the chicken leg for a long time. The meat on it had been gnawed clean by him, and even the bones were full of teeth marks.

A black dog squatted not far from him when he took the chicken leg, looking at him with wide eyes, looking at him without blinking, from full of hope to almost despair...

When Lao Fang came in from outside, Li Yi finally couldn't help it and said, "Go to the kitchen and tell him to give Old Xu another chicken leg later..."

"I'll add the chicken leg later." Lao Fang shook his head, handed a piece of letter to Li Yi, and said, "Son-in-law, you should take a look at this first..."

Li Yi opened the letter, read it, and shook his head slightly.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the life of his precious nephew, this is the most stingy emperor he has ever seen.

Miss Liu's apprentice, his nephew of King Jing, is he only worth three hundred thousand taels of silver?

He thought for a moment, looked at Lao Fang, and said, "Inform Lu Luo to send out invitations to heroes. A reward of one million silver coins is offered for the head of the Emperor of Wu. In addition, ten magical weapons that can cut hair with a gust of wind and cut iron with a slash of iron are offered as rewards. Custom orders are accepted, and free shipping is included. In addition, 10,000 points will be awarded for the hero list. You can also use the knight himself as the prototype, and tailor a play with the theme of martial arts heroes to be sung by the brothels..."
