Chapter 90: Old Fox, Angry Emperor Wu
"Yes, sure!"
Li Xuan nodded and continued, "You can find some books on storytelling, miscellaneous notes, medical techniques, etc. to kill time."
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan nodded.
"Master, my junior brother has gone to Wu State, and I also want to go back to Donghe County."
Meng Chong went to the State of Wu to cause trouble for the Emperor of Wu, and they were temporarily unable to continue to verify each other's insights into the Eight Trigrams. Xu Yan prepared to go back home to use the sword intent to help his parents speed up their bone refining.
"Go ahead."
Li Xuan nodded.
The next day, Shi Er came with some books.
These are the treasures of the Tianmu Sect, recording the methods of the underworld, and there are also some medical books among them.
In the afternoon, Xu Yan also sent someone to deliver books.
Li Xuan first looked through medical books to understand what the medical system was like in the border areas and even in the inner areas.
"Without acupuncture and moxibustion of acupoints, without the principle of using the main, secondary and auxiliary drugs..."
After reading several medical books, Li Xuan felt more and more that the new branch of martial arts he envisioned was more and more feasible.
Once successful, it will subvert the martial arts of this world.
"Now, all I need is to continue perfecting the theory and find a disciple to help me comprehend the theory."
Li Xuan thought silently.
…
Tianping Mountain is named because of its wide and flat top.
The martial arts masters of Wu State gathered together to hold a martial arts conference in order to capture Meng Chong and win the reward from the King of Wu.
Famous martial arts masters showed up one after another to compete for the position of leader. They led the martial arts masters of Wu State to Qi State to capture Meng Chong and obtain the reward of Marquis of Jianghu.
Since then, these people in the underworld have also gained a respectable identity.
Moreover, he had a county as his fiefdom, which meant he had a foundation in the underworld.
All those who could come to Tianping Mountain to participate in the Jianghu Conference were first-rate martial arts masters or above. On this day, figures of martial arts people kept appearing at the foot of Tianping Mountain.
“Is that Senior Tie? He’s here too!”
"Senior Tie, our Wu Kingdom's top master from 20 years ago has long been retired. I never thought that he would come too."
"Nonsense, this is the Marquis of Jianghu, who wouldn't be tempted?"
"Indeed, whoever wins the position of leader will be awarded the title of Marquis of Jianghu and become the leader of this generation of Jianghu!"
Many people in the martial arts world sighed in their hearts.
His face was full of envy.
I just regret that I am not strong enough and am not qualified to participate in the battle for the leader of the alliance.
Those who are qualified to participate in the competition for the leader are all top masters in the martial arts world.
On Tianping Mountain, heroes from the martial arts world gathered, including hundreds of famous masters from the Wu State.
There are many people who are hostile to each other or have grudges against each other.
But this time, they came for the position of the leader of the martial arts world. They did not fight to the death as soon as they met. They were all thinking that once they won the position of leader, they would immediately command the heroes of the martial arts world to kill their enemies...
"Please invite Senior Wu, a famous martial arts master from Wu State, to preside over the martial arts conference!"
A martial arts master spoke in a voice as loud as a bell.
On the high platform, a hunchbacked, very old man was helped to sit on a chair.
"It's Senior Wu!"
The gangsters below the stage were whispering to each other.
"Senior Wu is almost a hundred years old, right?"
"Yes, and only Senior Wu is qualified to be the judge."
People in the martial arts world were all amazed. They didn't expect that this martial arts conference would be hosted by Senior Wu.
This is a true underworld celebrity.
Although he is old and his strength is only one tenth of what it used to be, his fame in the Wu martial arts world is unmatched.
Moreover, Senior Wu has five direct disciples, all of whom are top masters. One of his disciples is even a master in the Wu royal palace.
In addition to his disciples, he also has three top masters among his disciples.
This shows the status of Senior Wu in the Wu Kingdom.
"The battle for the leader of the alliance depends on strength and moral character. Both are indispensable. If one's moral character is not good, he will bring disaster to the martial arts world. If one's strength is not good enough, he will not be able to uphold the reputation of the Wu Kingdom."
Senior Wu spoke in a deep voice, setting the conditions for the competition for the leader of the alliance.
"I'm sure no one here objects to this condition, right?"
A group of people in the martial arts world expressed their support for Senior Wu’s rules!
"The fight for the leader of the alliance should be stopped at the right time. We should not damage the harmony, lest it damages the strength of our Wu Kingdom."
Senior Wu continued.
Then, he changed the subject and said with a mocking look, "I have heard recently that fellow martial artists in Qi are busy looking for masters. It is really a joke that they want to learn real martial arts.
"Some people believe in the stories written by pedantic scholars!"
All the people in the martial arts world burst into laughter.
"Yes, I have heard about this as well."
"The Qi people's brains are not very good. This must be some scammers spreading this."
"Haha, when the big event comes and we go to capture Meng Chong, we will go and show our contempt for him. We are all fellow martial artists."
On Tianping Mountain, people from all walks of life were in great joy.
Senior Wu tapped the ground with his cane and said, "Now, the battle for the leader begins. Who will be the first to appear?"
Suddenly!
A loud voice echoed throughout Tianping Mountain.
"I'll do it!"
A figure landed on the platform as if falling from the sky.
…
Meng Chong set out from Yunshan County and finally arrived at the foot of Tianping Mountain. He looked up at Tianping Mountain and could no longer see any martial artists at the foot of the mountain.
I'm afraid the conference has already begun.
He got off his horse and was about to climb the mountain when he was suddenly startled.
He looked around and then at the horse beside him.
"I tied the horse at the foot of the mountain. What if someone rides it away? Even though it's not worth much, the horse belongs to my senior brother."
There are many thieves in the underworld. If he goes up the mountain and someone happens to come and steal his horse, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Meng Chong? He looked at the road up the mountain. It was a bit steep and it was difficult to ride a horse up.
Meng Chong touched his head and suddenly had an idea.
He looked at the horse beside him, then bent down, carried the horse on his back, and started climbing the mountain.
Horse: So exciting, I’m riding again! On Tianping Mountain, Meng Chong appeared with a horse on his back and landed on the high platform.
A group of Wu's martial arts masters suddenly widened their eyes and were all stunned.
Looking at the high platform, the mighty and strong young man, carrying a horse, landed on the platform as if falling from the sky.
Senior Wu, who was sitting on the high platform, was immediately startled. He almost couldn't breathe, his face turned red, and his hands holding the cane were shaking.
Where did this boy carrying a horse come from?
The old man was scared to death!
After taking a few deep breaths, Senior Wu came to his senses. He was furious and said, "Where did you come from, little guy? Do you know the rules? Tell me your name!"
Meng Chong looked around and sneered, "I am Meng Chong, the person you want to capture. I am right here. If anyone wants to capture me, just come up!" "After I beat you guys, I will go to Emperor Wu to ask for the reward!"
Meng Chong!
A group of martial arts masters were suddenly shocked, and many of them began to back off.
This mighty and majestic young man carrying a horse is obviously very powerful at first glance.
“It turned out to be Meng Chong!”
Senior Wu was overjoyed and said, "Whoever captures Meng Chong will be the leader. Go ahead!"
He waved his hand, and after he finished speaking, he used his crutches, his legs and feet became nimble, and he quickly moved away to avoid being affected.
"superior!"
A group of top masters looked at each other and stepped forward.
"I caught him!"
A master hugged Meng Chong and tried to subdue him, but it was as if he was hugging a mountain and could not be moved at all.
“Watch me!”
Whoosh!
A meteor dart flew over and hit Meng Chong's shoulder armor directly, trying to pierce his shoulder blade and completely subdue him!
Bang!
The meteor dart hit Meng Chong and fell straight down without even hurting him.
"Let's go together!"
A group of martial arts masters swarmed over.
Meng Chong carried the horse and stood still, allowing a group of martial arts masters to pounce on him and use all kinds of special moves on him. In the end, some hugged his legs, some pulled his arms, his face turned red, and he used all his strength to beat him.
They surrounded Meng Chong like a human wall.
Even the horse he was carrying was jumped on by some people and was almost submerged in the wall of people.
Senior Wu, who was far away and an old fox, was shocked when he saw this.
This young man carrying the horse is so mighty and majestic!
It’s not a good place to stay for long!
For a man of the Jianghu to live to this age, how could it be easy? "Disciple, go!"
He immediately called to his disciple who was waiting on the side.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Yes, Master!"
His disciple also realized that something was wrong, so he leaned over, picked up Senior Wu on his back, and ran away quickly.
Boom!
Suddenly, the platform collapsed.
A glazed golden light burst out, and a terrifying aura swept in all directions.
Human figures, with the platform as the center, flew out in all directions.
Like dumplings falling from the air, they fell down with a puff.
"Puff! Impossible, how can he be so strong!"
"It's over, I feel my ribs are broken!"
"What? Your ribs are broken? Great, I can finally get my revenge, old thief, give me your life!"
“…”
On Tianping Mountain, many heroes of the martial arts world fell to the ground. Some people even discovered that their enemies seemed to be seriously injured. This was a rare opportunity, so they immediately showed ferocious looks.
Jump up and kill the enemy!
More heroes in the martial arts world all looked at the young man carrying the horse in horror. His terrifying aura was like that of a god descending to earth.
The glazed glass was shining brightly with golden light, and even the horse it was carrying didn't look like an ordinary horse! Gulp!
"What kind of martial arts is this?"
"How can there be such a powerful master in the world?"
"Qi State! Could the rumors about the master in Qi State be true?"
"Why doesn't my Wu Kingdom have it?"
The heroes in the martial arts world were shocked.
Meng Chong looked down at the martial arts masters who fell around him, and ignored the guys who took the opportunity to kill their enemies. His eyes were stern and he said coldly, "Who else wants to capture me, Meng Chong? Go ahead!"
Silence! No one dared to speak.
"Where is the leader's order?"
Meng Chong then asked.
After getting the alliance leader's order, it would be natural for him to ask Emperor Wu for the title of Jianghu Marquis.
Meng Chong does things with reason and evidence, and he must convince Emperor Wu.
"At...at Senior Wu's place!"
Finally, someone whispered back.
Meng Chong glanced over and saw that the old man ran away.
"Old fox!"
With a cold snort, he leaped up with his horse on his shoulder and flew down the mountain.
Halfway through, I saw a copper token stuck in a big tree.
The corners of his mouth twitched. There was a reason why that old man, Senior Wu, could live so long.
When he was learning martial arts in Wu State, he already knew this famous figure in Wu State's martial arts world. He was truly an old fox, and his eyesight was unmatched by ordinary people.
"This old guy!"
Meng Chong reached out and took the alliance leader's order, then went down the mountain and let go of his horse.
Then, he set off straight for the capital of Wu State.
On Tianping Mountain, a group of martial arts masters climbed up in a panic, each of them still with lingering fear.
I almost died! "Hahaha, I finally got my revenge!"
"Meng Chong, you are a good man!"
"Asshole, you dare to kill my master, I will never let you go!"
Tianping Mountain was in chaos, and more martial arts masters were greatly shocked.
Are there really masters in the world? Is the peerless martial arts passed down by the Qi people true?
Isn't this made up by a liar?
…
The capital of Wu State.
Emperor Wu was in a very bad mood, and he was almost sick from being stuck in the palace.
However, every time he wanted to go on a tour, he was stopped by ministers.
The ministers also had a hard time. The servants in the mansions were carefully selected, for fear that some guys like Meng Chong would sneak in.
Relatives and clansmen with whom I had a bad relationship gritted their teeth and wrote directly to the emperor, asking him to be a witness that I would completely sever ties with them! Not only that.
When traveling, guards had to be carefully selected, and carriages or sedan chairs had to be built sturdily to avoid being shot to death by arrows.
Even in the capital, every time he went to court, he was always nervous, fearing that an assassin would suddenly rush out and sacrifice his life for revenge.
When did the days start to get hard?
It all started with that bastard Meng Chong who assassinated Emperor Wu.
What's even more asshole is, what happened to the group of guards of Emperor Wu? They actually let Meng Chong escape! Recently, it was rumored that something big happened in Qi State. The grandson of Guo Rongshan, the newly promoted Grand Councillor, the Prince's teacher, the sworn brother of Emperor Qi, and the former Minister of Personnel who was conferred the title of King of Qi, is a martial arts expert.
A powerful person who suppressed the Qi army alone.
The officials of Wu State naturally did not believe it.
"It's just that the Emperor of Qi is incompetent and Guo Rongshan is controlling the government, so he made up this excuse."
"But I heard that Guo Rongshan's grandson, what's his name? He has been obsessed with storybooks since he was a child. He takes storybooks and biographies seriously and has been looking for experts everywhere. It is rumored that he has a brain disease."
"Guo Rongshan is a truly powerful man. He has quietly taken control of the government of Qi State, and even the Emperor of Qi has to look at his face."
"Be careful with your words! If His Majesty becomes suspicious, our lives will become even more difficult!"
Before the court meeting began, the officials of Wu State were discussing quietly.
Emperor Wu turned to the court with a gloomy face.
"Can Meng Chong be arrested and brought to justice?"
The first words he said when he went to court were about Meng Chong.
The Minister of Justice said with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, the people of Jianghu have gathered at Tianping Mountain to offer a reward. I believe that Meng Chong will be captured and brought to justice soon."
"You are all trash! The face of our Wu Kingdom has been completely lost!" I offer a reward of 100,000 taels of gold, a 3,000-year-old ginseng, and ten precious herbs. With such a generous reward, you have not yet arrested Meng Chong. What use do I have for you!"
Emperor Wu was furious.
The ministers looked down at their feet in silence. This scene would happen at every court meeting. After His Majesty had vented his anger, they could start discussing business.
I'm used to it!
"Speak! Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"
Emperor Wu roared.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the dragon's body is important!"
All the ministers tried to persuade him, but their attitude was a bit perfunctory.
It's like following a process.
After all, it’s not the first time.
"Besides this, what else can you losers say? What I want is to capture Meng Chong and bring him to justice!"
Emperor Wu slammed the table and roared.
"Emperor Wu, I'm here. Is the reward ready?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall.
