Chapter 1635 Kendo Genius
In the border inn, which is usually noisy, all the guests are looking in one direction with longing expressions.
"At that time, everyone in the imperial court, the common people, and even those of us in the martial arts world thought this battle was doomed to fail. After all, no one had ever heard of the Crown Prince before, nor had they heard that the new emperor was a military genius. But for some reason, the only person qualified to stop this, Zhangsun Qingzhao, who had just been appointed Regent by the late emperor's will, did not stop the emperor. He even personally saw off the 200,000-man army and our emperor."
"It's said that on that day, the people of Shenjing closed their doors and windows, and the merchants closed their stalls, because they all believed that the emperor's trip would be a failure and didn't even want to look. So, as the army marched through Shenjing that day, there was no sound except the quiet and orderly clatter of horses' hooves and the rustling of flags in the wind."
"That's too tragic. He's the emperor after all."
Someone immediately sighed.
The old man sighed,
"That's excessive, but Chiwei has always been an open country. The emperor ascended the throne when he was young, and there's nothing he can do if the people don't give him face."
"But this situation did not last long,"
The old man immediately became excited again, slapping the table and saying,
"You don't know, but at that time, the Emperor led his army eastward, rarely stopping along the way. It took only half a month to reach Yanzhao Pass in the east. During this time, Gumo and Wuxu had already captured three more cities in our country. They were an unstoppable and undefeated army. Even though they knew the Emperor was coming, they showed no fear at all. They even threatened to capture the Emperor and hang his head on their borders. Their arrogance was simply too arrogant!"
"And they weren't just bluffing. On the night the army arrived at the border, they sent someone to sneak into Yanzhao Pass, intending to capture His Majesty and control the court officials. Do you know who they sent?"
The old man swept his eyes across the crowd, too excited to wait for anyone to answer, and announced the answer himself.
"That's Qin Feiyu, known as the number one swordsman in Dongzhou!"
As soon as this name came out, everyone present made sounds of surprise.
"Qin Feiyu? Is it really Qin Feiyu? Then the emperor is doomed."
"Yes, he is invincible in Dongzhou with his Wuwang Sword."
There was endless exclamation of praise, and the old man burst into laughter after listening for a while.
Xia Fuyi was also eager to know the emperor's fate. When she heard his laughter, she stared at him with an indifferent expression and curious eyes.
I don't know if he felt the urging of the crowd, but the old man quickly said,
"Qin Feiyu, the Impertinent Sword, was very powerful, and indeed had no rivals in Dongzhou. Yet, such a first-rate swordsman did not return home overnight. The next day, our emperor personally carried a severed head to the city wall and hung it on the wall in front of the 300,000 soldiers outside. It is said that Qin Feiyu's eyes were still wide open, as if he was terrified."
There was an uproar in the lobby.
"What do you mean? Is there any other expert hidden in the emperor's tent? What kind of expert could have killed Qin Feiyu?"
The old man snorted and laughed,
"What kind of expert? The one who killed Qin Feiyu was not someone else, but our young emperor who was not favored by the emperor."
"It was only after this that all the soldiers realized that our emperor, from nowhere, had mastered such superb swordsmanship that even Qin Feiyu was no match for him."
"It was Qin Feiyu's head, severed by the Emperor himself, that dampened the invincible spirit and morale of Gumo and the Wuxu Army. The Wuxu general threatened to capture Yanzhao Pass in a few days, hang the Emperor's head alongside Qin Feiyu's, and have him apologize to Qin Feiyu in the underworld."
