Chapter 116 Chaotic World
As the saying goes, a gentleman is indifferent to fame and fortune, and finds peace in tranquility.
After showing off his skills, Sheng Wansong did not stay where he was to listen to the praise and compliments from others, but went to a distance to listen and watch secretly.
They talked about things like stars descending to earth, Buddhas coming to earth, and martial gods being reincarnated—each story more exaggerated than the last.
Even more extreme, some have suggested that Sheng Wansong be regarded as the ancestor of the revival of martial arts and should be enshrined in the Martial Temple.
The women who went to Wudang Mountain with Sheng Wansong were also showered with praise.
Although Sheng Wansong enjoyed being praised, when everyone returned, he acted nonchalantly as if he knew nothing.
"You're back?"
Shangguan Hong smiled and pretended to complain, "Wan Song, you left so easily, but we were pestered to death, with people asking us all sorts of questions."
Ouyang Xue then got down to business.
"Wan Song, my father and several sect leaders would like to ask you to take some time to teach a class and impart the essence of martial arts to the world."
Classes are starting.
Sheng Wansong casually replied, "We'll see."
He looked at Miss Sisi and said, "All good things must come to an end, Miss Sisi. Our time together is also coming to an end."
""
"yes."
Sisi's eyes were full of resentment.
She had a vague expectation in her heart, but nothing happened on the way.
Could this Sheng Wansong, the great hero, really be a righteous gentleman?
When she was feeling down, a female disciple from the Green Wood Painting Boat came to Sisi's side and whispered something in her ear.
Sisi's expression immediately turned serious, her demeanor solemn and earnest.
After nodding and giving a few instructions, she said to Sheng Wansong and the others, "Something terrible has happened!"
"Yuan's army has decisively defeated Ye's army and has already entered the North China Plain. The North China Plain is flat, and Yuan's iron cavalry is rampaging unchecked, having already plundered and occupied many cities."
"My master has sent a message instructing us to abandon our businesses outside and stockpile supplies to consolidate our headquarters on the pleasure boat."
This is truly earth-shattering news.
After Xungu Pass fell, it was clear to everyone that Yuan's army was unstoppable.
But people always harbor a hope that the invincible Marshal Ye will lead the Ye family army to defeat the Yuan army and reclaim Xungu Pass.
After this news came, people knew they had to abandon their illusions and prepare for war with all their might.
"When Yuan's army entered the pass, the people were in dire straits, and the state was in imminent danger."
Shangguan Hong felt a pang of sorrow, "I wonder how many people will be displaced, their families torn apart, and their lives lost."
Compared to her, Ouyang Xue's focus was more subtle: "The Ye family army suffered a crushing defeat. I wonder if Sister Yinping is alright?"
Shangguan Hong has a strong sense of righteousness, while Ouyang Xue is more concerned with matters of the heart.
Sisi said, "There are rumors that Marshal Ye led his remaining troops to retreat to Yuzhou. Since she is Marshal Ye's daughter, it should be nothing serious."
.
Sheng Wansong nodded; he was also somewhat worried about the naive girl in green.
In that girl's heart, her father was great.
Now that the Ye family army has suffered a major defeat, she probably desperately needs someone to comfort her.
"My mother and two adopted sisters are also in the Chu Xiang area of Yuzhou. Now that the world is in chaos, it is time for me to go home and check on their safety."
"It's also a good opportunity to visit Yinping Girl on the way."
Sisi went to handle the business of Qingmu Painting Boat, while Sheng Wansong and others went to Yuzhou instead.
"Your Majesty, I am General Ye, Lieutenant General Chu Xia'er. This gun was sent to me by Marshal Ye."
At the Taihe Hall of Fengtian Gate, during the morning court session, a general dressed in silver armor presented a long spear.
Upon seeing this, a minister angrily shouted, "How dare you bring weapons into the palace!"
Feng Xuanji raised her hand, and the minister immediately stepped back and fell silent.
Ever since her younger sister showed off her skills on Wudang Mountain, her authority as empress has increased by more than half.
This thought flashed through Feng Xuanji's mind.
She composed herself, saying, "In extraordinary times, we cannot be bound by ordinary etiquette."
"Ning'er, let me take a look at that spear."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With the spear in hand, Feng Xuanji's eyes narrowed. "Where did General Chu obtain this spear?"
"It was seized from Yuan Jun."
Feng Xuanji had Ning'er hold the spear and step back, saying, "The design and craftsmanship of this spear both come from the Great Liang Armory."
These words shocked everyone in the room.
The Treasury Ministers, in particular, were sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, we are innocent!"
Feng Xuanji shook her head. "Even so, this spear is new; it was forged less than three months ago."
"Someone deliberately imitated the craftsmanship of my Great Liang Dynasty in order to cover up the true origin of the weapons."
"But what he didn't know was that His Majesty had secretly ordered the Liang Armory to stop construction for several years in order to save money, and had been refurbishing and reusing old weapons."
Feng Xuanji looked at the guerrilla general and questioned, "General Vinegar, how many soldiers in the Yuan Army possess this spear?"
"Fifty thousand cavalrymen, each with at least one!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuanji laughed in fury, "Very good! Very good!"
"There's only one company in the world with this ability."
Mingjian Villa.
The Empress did not say it explicitly, but the answer was already clear in everyone's minds.
"Your Majesty, the country is in turmoil. If we were to start another war now..."
Unlike the Lin family, Mingjian Manor is a true martial arts family with deeply entrenched influence and countless masters.
If their strength were fully integrated, it would be no less than that of 100,000 elite troops.
the most important is.
The image of Sheng Wansong flashed through Feng Xuanji's mind. The old scoundrel Ouyang's daughter was getting very close to that person.
The court officials, who were not present at the scene, could not help but believe the descriptions were embellished and could not imagine the man's true strength.
But Feng Xuanji knew that Sheng Wansong alone was enough to overthrow a country.
The Empress sighed. "General Chu, I have ordered the garrison troops from various regions to go to North China to join Marshal Ye in resisting the Yuan army."
"Regarding the matter of weapons, I will certainly give Marshal Ye an explanation."
"But now, resisting the Yuan army is the top priority."
Feng Xuanji ordered the Ministry of War and the Treasury to cooperate with the Ye family army to replenish their manpower and help allocate supplies, in order to appease Ye Pengju first.
He also ordered letters to be written to all the major and minor martial arts sects, asking them to join forces with local armies to resist Yuan's army.
Just as we were getting ready, more bad news came.
A guard from the Feng family rushed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and reported this.
"Your Majesty!"
"Gao Yingxiang of Shaanxi, in alliance with thirty-six peasant armies, rose in rebellion, proclaiming himself King Chuang," and has already occupied Shaanxi and is marching towards Shanxi. It is said that he commands an army of 300,000!
The Shanxi garrison had just been transferred by Feng Xuanji to North China to resist the Yuan army. That "Chuang King" knew that the local defenses were weak, so he took advantage of the situation to invade!
"At a time of national crisis, Gao Yingxiang took advantage of the national calamity to launch a rebellion, and should be despised by all!"
After the court session ended, Feng Xuanji was exhausted and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
She dismissed the palace maids and opened a hidden compartment.
Inside the box that was taken out, six crimson pills were spinning around.
