Wan Sanqian was stunned.
As far as he knew, Emperor Feng had never taken action.
I have been busy handling government affairs over the years.
"Dafeng has always been a martial nation."
"As long as you are a prince, you must learn martial arts."
"Emperor Feng was proficient in martial arts since he was young."
"He once fought the former Crown Prince, striking him so hard that he vomited blood. The late Emperor reprimanded him for this, saying he was too ruthless and didn't know how to hold back. He also offended the former Crown Prince, and he often caused trouble for him."
"I remember that after he joined the military camp, he learned everything very quickly. Horseback riding, archery, swordplay, and spearmanship... he mastered them all immediately. My father was teaching me the Overlord Spear, and he even learned it faster and used it more skillfully than I did. In terms of pure martial arts talent, he was even better than me, though I was just a bit more physically fit."
Ning Que was also recalling every detail of the past.
The more I think about it, the more unfathomable Emperor Feng seems. He is obviously proficient in martial arts, but he has never used them since he was punished by the previous emperor.
Take the Overlord Spear for example, its moves are very powerful.
It’s actually not difficult to learn.
But it is not easy to integrate them.
But Emperor Feng was able to master it just by looking at it.
His talent was so high that even his father and brothers were amazed.
Since Emperor Gaozu, no one has ever been able to learn so quickly.
"What would happen if I fought him?"
Yi Suiyun also became interested after hearing this.
He is a sword fanatic.
I like to practice martial arts with masters.
That's why he has such a good relationship with Ning Que.
"If this is just a sparring match, you can definitely beat him. If it's a life-or-death duel, you won't survive more than ten moves." Ning Que warned, "Forget you, even I can't guarantee a win. Even Senior Brother Ximen, the world's number one assassin, probably can't get close to him."
“So powerful?!”
Yi Suiyun gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.
But at this moment, he was full of fighting spirit.
I also want to see it.
He is never afraid of a strong enemy.
For him, the stronger the enemy, the better.
Ning Que nodded seriously.
The senior brother Ximen he mentioned is also a remarkable person.
He is the number one killer in Jiuzhou, Ximen Jie.
He was expelled from the sect by Bu Suanzi at an early stage.
His style of doing things was not approved by Bu Suanzi.
Ximen Jie is proficient in the art of disguise and assassination.
After accepting a mission, he would send a letter in advance to inform his opponent. So far, he has never failed. He has assassinated corrupt officials, princes, generals, and ministers, but never killed innocent people. So far, he has never failed.
He took the task without asking for a price.
It all depends on my mood.
He is also highly regarded among the people.
Praise him as the noble prince among killers.
Besides, Ximen Jie has no interest in ordinary people.
Those killed were basically corrupt officials and evil gentry!
Or bandits who bully the people.
He once said that he was the scourge of these thieves!
As long as you do something bad, you will be rewarded.
Even if it's only a penny, he will accept the task!
As long as he answers, wash your neck and wait!
The most talked-about moment is when, under the protection of the Four Killers, he killed a corrupt official and then made a dashing escape. The corrupt official oppressed the people and raped women. An old farmer was driven to suicide but was saved by a passing Ximen Jie. Upon learning of Ximen Jie's identity, he offered him his last penny, hoping he would help him assassinate Ximen Jie.
Ximen Jie actually accepted it!
In front of many people, the dog official's head was chopped off.
Finally, he was hanging at the city gate and escaped unscathed!
Ximen Jie believed that to deal with these people, violence should be met with violence. Since reason wouldn't work, they should all be killed. But Bu Suanzi thought he was too murderous and his methods too radical. Since he had already taken action, he expelled him from the sect.
"This firearm is very useful."
"Fortunately, Xiao Ning, you didn't tell Emperor Feng."
"With this secret weapon, it's only a matter of time before Emperor Feng is overthrown."
Yue Zhongmu couldn't let go of the matchlock gun.
This thing is really useful.
The range should be comparable to that of a crossbow.
It is more powerful and easier to manufacture.
It's important to note that strong bows are incredibly difficult to manufacture these days; a qualified bow and arrow can take around three years to craft. And then there's the arrows, which are now made by hand. The various processes involved are time-consuming and laborious. While movies and TV shows often feature a volley of thousands of arrows, in reality, even the Dafeng Empire rarely practiced this.
"The matchlock gun is just the beginning."
"There will be artillery fire later, and it will be even more powerful than this."
"Brother Yue, I'm going to rely on you from now on."
"Use this batch of firearms to unify Lingnan!"
"Train and prepare for war, prepare for the future!"
"Don't worry." Yue Zhongmu smiled complacently and said confidently, "Originally, without firearms, I had to put in some effort. Now with these, I am even more powerful. If you want, I can even overthrow the King of Nanyue."
"That's not necessary."
"how?"
"The King of Nanyue treats Senior Brother Hai very well." Ning Que shook his head. "I won't be like Emperor Feng. Besides, Lingnan needs a King of Nanyue. The local clan system is very strong. If we kill the King of Nanyue, the Yue people will definitely be dissatisfied."
Ning Que has some research on the Yue people in Lingnan.
After all, Kyushu is in a chaotic time, and it is necessary to study the major forces.
The relationship between the King of Chu and Lingnan in recent years is also very interesting.
A close marriage at times.
Sometimes they would fight each other.
Overall, the King of Chu has the upper hand.
They occupied a lot of Lingnan territory.
As far as Ning Que knew, the Yue people cut their hair and tattooed their bodies. They loved singing and dancing and were skilled in boating. Their culture was completely different from that of Dafeng. The locals valued clans and family ties.
Decades ago, the King of Chu sent troops to attack Lingnan. Initially, they advanced without hesitation, but then killed a tribal elder. This stirred up a hornet's nest. The elder held a high position of prestige, and his descendants were instantly enraged.
They fled to the mountains and forests, preferring to live among wild beasts rather than surrender. Relying on their better understanding of the terrain, they engaged in guerrilla warfare directly against the Chu army. Under the command of the King of Nanyue, they took advantage of the night to defeat the main force of the Chu army, killing even the Chu general Tu Baili.
If Ning Que were to stage a coup in Lingnan and kill the King of Nanyue, it would undoubtedly infuriate the Yue people. As long as the King of Nanyue obeyed, Ning Que wouldn't mind helping him unify Lingnan and later crown him the King of Lingnan.
Of course, he was a vassal king without real power.
"Huh..." Ning Que looked towards the south and said softly, "Lingnan is ultimately a land of water poisoning. Brothers, you will have to follow me to Lingnan and endure hardships."
"Haha, what's the big deal?"
"Aren't there still Junior Brothers Da Hai and Da Hai?"
"Come to think of it, I haven't been to Lingnan yet."
Leng Qian smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "It's a pity that I can't go to Lingnan with my fellow apprentices. Seeing that my junior brother has made up his mind, I am relieved. In this way, Master's wish can be realized."
Bu Suanzi originally chose to establish the Shenji Pavilion because he was tired of the world and wanted to find a way to end the war in the nine provinces of the world.
Now, Ning Que stood up!
It’s only a matter of time before he becomes Emperor Feng!
