Chapter 93 Emperor Wu’s City

When he arrived at the Lu Mansion, Xu Fengnian also found out the truth: his sister Xu Zhihu was maliciously slandered.

The mastermind behind the incident, Liu Liting, has been caught and was tied to the ground by Xu Fengnian and dragged by a horse.

Liu Liting had been dragged all the way and was already cold.

Passersby on the road looked at him sideways, and from then on, the story of Xu Fengnian dragging a corpse on Jiangnan Road became a legend in the martial arts world.

It also completely confirmed his reputation as an arrogant and domineering person.

In Yangcheng, a debate on state governance is about to be held, and Chen Xiliang has been invited as his debate candidate.

At the debate, the scholars were vigorously advocating the kingly way of governing the country, but they were ruined by Xu Fengnian. He had been unhappy with these experts for a long time, and the debate held this time was essentially like eating too much, which caused their feet to leave the ground and become detached from reality, resulting in the product of IQ occupying the high ground.

As for the kingly way of governing the country that they advocated, Xu Fengnian did not agree with it at all. He brought Chen Xiliang here this time just to have a good talk with him.

Chen Xiliang threw out all his ideas at once.

The ultimate expression of the kingly way advocated by these scholars today is to return to the period of Yao, Shun and Yu, when there would be no wars or disasters in the country, the people would have no worries about food and clothing, and everyone would lie down and reproduce in accordance with the laws of nature. No one would have evil thoughts, and problems would be solved based on moral standards.

Such a concept can still be implemented in a small-scale society of acquaintances. In Chen Xiliang's view, there are still so many people who cannot get enough food and so many people who have no hope in life.

Empty talk can only ruin a country, only hard work can make it prosperous.

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears and scaring the literati so much that they fell to the ground.

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly broke into the temple and dispersed all the literati, leaving only the people from Beiliang.

The person who came was Master Lu Qi who was lying in ambush here. He told Xu Fengnian in a concise manner that he had recognized that Jiang Ni was the Princess of Western Chu. As long as Xu Fengnian was willing to hand over Jiang Ni, the Lu family would fully support him to ascend the throne of Beiliang and become Beiliang's spy in the court from then on.

Xu Fengnian expressed his unwillingness.

Seeing that the talks were failing, Master Lu Qi drew his sword and prepared to take action.

At this moment, a man in green slowly descended from the sky.

The man in green just raised his hand slightly, and a stone flew past Master Lu Qi and pierced through the rockery behind him.

This person is the blue-robed Confucian scholar Cao Changqing, one of the top three masters in the world's five sects.

Cao Changqing did not kill Master Lu Qi, but walked up to Jiang Ni and knelt heavily: "Cao Changqing, the criminal of Western Chu, pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

He was originally a former minister of the State of Chu, but he was unable to stop the fall of the royal family of Chu. He could only seek revenge and secretly assassinated many officials from Liyang. The closest assassination was less than fifty steps away from the emperor.

Now he got the news that Her Royal Highness the Princess was still alive, so he hurried to confirm. When he saw that Jiang Ni looked almost the same as the Queen, Cao Changqing dispelled his doubts, but he asked Jiang Ni to wait for a moment and let him kill Xu Fengnian first.

"Your Highness is a daughter of gold, but Xu Fengnian treats her as a maid. This is such a humiliation. I will use Xu Fengnian's head to relieve Your Highness's hatred."

Bluebird stepped forward to stop him but was slapped away. Xu Fengnian was in even more of a state as his weapon was taken away before he could even make a move.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ni pleaded for Xu Fengnian, which made Cao Changqing choose to let Xu Fengnian go.

But he wanted to take Jiang Ni with him. Now the old people of Chu State gathered in Shu, and could only live in despair and pain. But as long as Jiang Ni could go back with him and become the new generation of Queen of Chu State, she could save these people and become their spiritual pillar.

In the end, Jiang Ni was taken away by Cao Changqing and Xu Fengnian was not hurt. This was Jiang Ni's own decision and no one could interfere.

Afterwards, everyone came to the Xuanyuan family again, helped the Xuanyuan family deal with the old ancestor on the mountain, and supported Xuanyuan Qingfeng to take the throne. In this way, the sad family gained another ally.

The crowd continued to move south.

When passing by a river, I found a child holding a sign that clearly said "Xu Xiao is his father"

Shu Xiu and Ning Emei were both shocked and threw him in front of Xu Fengnian. Unexpectedly, the boy burst into tears as soon as he saw Xu Fengnian: "My mother said that when they met, my father was riding a horse on the rivers and lakes, sweeping the world's aristocratic families. Everything is a bad fate. Big brother, I finally meet you, big brother~"

"You said Xu Xiao is your biological father?"

"I can't believe it either."

Everything this kid says makes sense, and no one knows whether it's true or false.

Although Xu Fengnian knew that this kid had ulterior motives, he still kept him on the boat. He just wanted to see what tricks this kid could play.

It turns out that this actor is Zhao Suxuan, the founder of Longhu Mountain, and he did this just to get close to Xu Fengnian.

He changed into the appearance of a child and seemed to have regained his youth, but in fact he was just exhausted. He relied on burning his essence and blood to maintain his childish appearance.

If you don't find a way to solve it, you will have to go see the King of Hell.

If you want to survive, you can only ascend to become an immortal.

If Li Chungang had a battle with Wang Xianzhi, it would be the end of the world. He wanted to take advantage of Li Chungang's sword to fly into the Heavenly Gate and find a glimmer of hope, so he chose to transform himself into a child and follow everyone on the road.

Life is really not easy, the old man has to perform to make a living.

I didn't expect that this old man, after regaining his youth, still did not change his bad habits when seeing a beautiful woman, and even deliberately got close to her to comfort her.

"Sister Shu is not only good at martial arts, but also a good person and beautiful."

As he said this, he started to move his hands and leaned his head on Shu Xiu. This made Shu Xiu feel confused and a little shy for some reason.

Even so, the old man was not satisfied. When he saw the Blue Bird Beauty, he ran over and wanted to take advantage of her. As a result, he slipped on the banana peel thrown by Guo Jia and almost fell off the boat.

In a trance, this guy reminded Ye Qi of Momonosuke from One Piece.

Finally, the group arrived at Wudi City.

The city lord, Wang Xianzhi, has dominated the martial arts world for sixty years.

From afar, the city walls were covered with all kinds of weapons, which were left behind by the losers.

Among them is Lao Huang’s sword box.

Xu Fengnian watched from afar and vowed to get it back for Lao Huang this time.

The group did not choose to enter the city from the north gate, but instead went around to the west gate.

This was the route that Lao Huang took to enter the city. After passing through the gate in the city wall, Xu Fengnian, who had never been here before, seemed extremely familiar with this place, because in front of him, Lao Huang's figure was looming, as if guiding him forward.

The sunlight shining on Lao Huang looked particularly sacred. He often stopped and looked back, as if he was afraid that the prince could not keep up.

Xu Fengnian followed Lao Huang all the way to a wine stand beside the city wall, ordered rice wine braised pork and peanuts, and ate while muttering: "I'll drink with you."

Seeing Xu Fengnian talking to an empty seat, the waiter felt a little scared. He took the money for the drinks and quickly hid aside.

Xu Fengnian toasted Lao Huang one glass after another, and memories came to his mind one after another.

He was a little angry with Lao Huang. He had promised Lao Huang that he must come back alive after the fight, but Lao Huang broke his promise.

Li Chungang kicked over the chair and said, "If you really want to pay tribute to Old Huang, then go up to the tower and get the sword box back. Drinking here is useless. Can you drink Wang Xianzhi to death?"
