"By God's blessing, Wu Ziming, young and promising, extremely brave, ranked thirty-one on the list of outstanding talents, should be regarded as a hero of the Song Dynasty. Nine days later, he was ordered to lead a team to the Central Tang Dynasty to represent the Song Dynasty court and participate in the Qianlong Campaign.
To fight, we should not forget our original intention and strive to be the first!”
After reading out the imperial edict, Mu Chun, an old acquaintance, handed over certain items of clothing, including a letter of credence, a few sets of royal clothes, and a roster.
Wu Ming was not surprised, nor did he refuse. He accepted it with a calm expression.
There have been too many troubles in the past few years, and I have been mentally prepared for a long time, but I did not expect to be kicked out of the Song Dynasty in this way, which is much more serious than being forced to take refuge in the Shaolin Temple.
It seems that he represents the Song Dynasty court, but in fact he is alone, far away in a foreign country, unable to support himself, unable to survive alone, suffering from three diseases and five disasters, and it is not an accident to die in a foreign country.
What's more, there are countless wealthy families in the Song Dynasty. It seems that everyone on the list of geniuses can participate in this once-a-decade battle between hidden dragons. In fact, there are countless hidden geniuses who are secretly gearing up to compete for the luck of the Dragon Veins of China.
.
And he represents the two major forces: the imperial court, the sect, and the aristocratic family. With his innate cultivation level of no more than three realms, he may not be able to suppress the young heroes hidden in the imperial court alone, let alone the other two major forces!
Not to mention other things, Zhao Shuhang, who is number one on the list of geniuses, is a natural barrier. However, although this person is the eldest son of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he is outside the royal family and the court. Even if he comes out this time, he is probably representing Jixia Academy.
.
Being an envoy to the Central Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Song Dynasty was considered a supreme honor by outsiders, but Wu Ming felt that he was being attacked from all directions!
"Your Majesty, time is pressing. If you have nothing else to do, please return to the capital with the Za family to prepare. Elite princes and princes from all over the country will also arrive one after another and will depart from the capital for Huizhou!"
Mu Chun's eyes flashed with complicated color, and he bowed.
In less than five years, when he returned to Beijing, the half-grown boy who still had to act shamelessly and trick him into doing things, not only became an adult, but also grew up vigorously, and gradually became like a towering tree, which can protect others from the wind and rain.
Provide shelter!
It's a pity that he was too immature after all. How could he withstand the strife of the real rulers of the Song Dynasty?
Those existences don't need to use words, just a look or a thought, and countless people start to operate underneath, even if it is as powerful as the Tianpin Sect Taiqing Palace, the ancient aristocratic family Luo Family, the top wealthy Gu Family, and countless other clans and sects,
And the forces in the court will respond as soon as possible.
This matter cannot be rejected at all, otherwise Wu Ming will be drowned by public opinion alone.
As the King of Wu in the Song Dynasty, he was able to live on the emperor's salary and enjoy the support of all the people. How could he refuse to do such things as bringing glory to the country?
As long as Wu Ming does not want the reputation he has accumulated over the past five years to collapse overnight, he will have to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. How will the people at the bottom see the hidden lights and shadows of swords?
They only know that Wu Ming is the wise king, the King of Wu in the Song Dynasty, and the thirty-first hero on the list of geniuses!
Wu Ming didn't respond. He stood with his hands behind his hands and silently looked at the distant mountains. His expression was calm. There was a hint of solemnity in Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, which was gathering and getting stronger like a storm!
Mu Chun and his entourage of eunuchs and guards who announced the decree all fell silent and stepped aside with awe in their eyes.
Although this young prince, who was only eighteen years old, traveled around all year round after returning to the capital, most people in the capital only heard his legends but never saw him in person, but they all felt the power in him that was far stronger than that of many elders.
Only those who have been in a high position all year round and accumulated over the years can have such momentum!
"Let's go!"
After about a while of tea, Wu Ming turned around and left.
From the beginning to the end, no one showed up in Bailing Pavilion, and no one showed up until the group left the mountain gate.
This only shows one thing, that is, Bailing Pavilion does not want to get involved in this matter, even if he paid for the Dragon Marrow Crystal, Dragon Spirit Flame Liquid, Tianmeng Teardrop and other treasures in order to make friends with the three half-saints.
And the three saints did not take advantage. Even the two who won the bet still paid double the price!
"Master, this time the imperial court appoints King Wu as its representative, there must be no good intentions!"
Deep in one of the forbidden areas of Bailing Pavilion, Xu Qiulan knelt down respectfully in front of a stunning woman in her twenties.
Although this girl is young, she has gray hair on her temples. Her beautiful eyes seem to have the sun and the moon moving around, and she can see all the vicissitudes of life. She is the Half-Saint Fu Nian!
"You girl, you don't have to come to test me as a teacher!"
Fu Nian said with a smile on his face.
Xu Qiulan was slightly embarrassed, but when she saw that her master was not angry, she said coquettishly: "Master, no matter what, I can get back my uncle's inheritance this time. Thanks to the help of King Wu, five more senior brothers have the opportunity to be promoted to grand master. Is it possible?"
This kind of favor is not enough for the teachers in the pavilion to offer a word of help?"
"This man's actions are unpredictable, and every step has profound meaning. This can be seen from the fact that he deliberately made friends with Xuan Sheng!"
Fu Nian took a deep look at his beloved disciple and said with a cold voice, "But he did not hesitate to offend the Gu family, Dongfang, and Luo family, and cut off the cause and effect of the previous generation. This move is really amazing. It is a pity that acting like this is actually annihilating himself."
Outside the system, he has a lot of help when he is good, but little help when he is not, which is doomed for him to have a difficult future."
"Master, are you saying that King Wu just wants to take advantage of our power and has no intention of having a close friendship?"
Xu Qiulan said in a daze.
"You are still too young. I don't know how this King of Wu was born with such a deep and scheming mind!"
Fu Nian smiled and nodded, suddenly flicking his sleeves, and a cloud of light and shadow appeared in front of him. It was Wu Ming and his party who were descending from the mountain. He said calmly, "Let's see if the imperial court can suppress him with this move!"
Xu Qiulan raised his head and looked intently, his beautiful eyes suddenly condensed, and he lost his voice and said: "He has made a breakthrough!"
I saw Wu Ming walking out of the mountain gate, with clouds above his head, shining brightly, and the endless stream of light gathered into a river, like a dragon swimming into the sea, winding and majestic!
"In one step, he was a great talent. He was expelled from Qinzhou, suffered huge losses in the Taiqing Palace and the Luo family, and was given a beating by the court. He was not suppressed. There is no guarantee that this trip to the Mid-Tang Dynasty will not be a trap for the dragon.
A sign of going out to sea!”
Fu Nian praised.
"Facing difficulties and advancing bravely and diligently, my disciples have learned the lesson!"
Xu Qiulan suddenly realized that this was Wu Ming's way and the trend he chose. It was also his master who was guiding him.
"Let's get ready. You still need to lead this trip. When we are in Zhongtang, we won't be able to take advantage of this opportunity again!"
Fu Nian said with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Disciple, obey!"
Xu Qiulan's beautiful eyes flashed with light, and she bowed and retreated.
Wu Ming may not have any intention of having a close relationship with Bailing Pavilion, but he has a close personal relationship with Xu Qiulan. Who can guarantee that there are no variables?
It has to be said that these big shots are very smart and full of ghosts. They all know that eggs cannot be put in one basket and are ready to step into two boats at any time!
But if they think this way, will Wu Ming definitely let them get their wish?
…
At the same time, Mu Chun and his party seemed not to notice anything, but they could vaguely feel that the aura on Wu Ming's body was getting thicker and thicker. They were in awe, and no one dared to think too carefully, respectfully guarding Wu Ming back to the capital.
Passing by Anshan Lake, when everyone was shocked, Wu Ming unbuttoned his belt without saying a word, took a quick pee, and then returned to Beijing comfortably.
Fortunately, there was no sudden change of scenery or earth-shattering as imagined. Perhaps the ancestor was sleeping soundly!
The news of Wu Ming's return to Beijing spread throughout Bianliang immediately, and the imperial decree also spread first. Except for Qi Kai who paid a visit the next day, no one came to meet him.
"Congratulations to welcome the prince back to your home!"
Sun Shanwu, Xu Chengan and other guards were waiting in front of the door early.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Wu Ming nodded with a smile, glanced at the excited-looking veterans one by one, walked slowly through the door, and went straight to the mourning hall of Ciyun Garden, where he burned incense, bowed, and sat in meditation all night.
In the early morning of the next day, he first went to the Zhenwu Martial Arts School. Looking at the young martial arts disciples with immature faces, Wu Ming felt more and more calm. He walked around without anyone knowing, and returned home at noon to see him off.
Qi Kai, who visited me, sat silently in Ciyun Garden for a day.
For three days in a row, in addition to meditating, I went to Nestlé, which was opened underground, to check the files accumulated in recent years.
When I saw the depth, I subconsciously reached out to touch the teacup and suddenly remembered that Honglian was gone!
That girl, who had a rough life and suffered a tragic change, went out alone to look for opportunities just because she felt she was drifting away from him and could not help him much!
On the fifth day, the capital gradually became lively, because the young heroes trained by the imperial courts from all over the Song Dynasty had arrived one after another. The strange thing was that no one came to trouble Wu Ming.
"It's time to see which way the wind is blowing!"
Wu Ming watched the stars all night, then went out on the sixth day and went straight to Zuiyue Tower.
The leading actress was still Li Sisi, the Moon Dance Fairy from the capital, who seemed to have known for a long time that he was coming. She cleared out the top floor early and prepared an elegant and light banquet.
The curtain is light, the beauty is playing the strings, a man and a woman are looking at each other across the curtain, there is no lingering love between men and women, only the faint sound of confidant!
Wu Ming drank cup after cup of light and tasteless spirit wine, his eyelids drooped slightly, his mind wandered to nowhere, and he was a little dissatisfied with the melodious music of the piano!
"Your Majesty, do you think Sisi is unsightly?"
Li Sisi fiddled with the strings angrily, and when they made a tinkling sound, she bit her silver teeth and said.
Looking around the capital, no man has ever treated her like this. Although I am glad that Wu Ming is not like an ordinary person, don't you know that women should be happy with themselves?
It was rare to see this fairy-like woman showing off her childish side. Wu Ming smiled sarcastically, with a frivolous smile on his lips. Just as he was about to make a few jokes, the door suddenly opened, and a round figure like a meat ball rushed towards her.
Enter the room.
"Haha, you're in such a good mood, you're actually in the mood to sleep among flowers and willows!"
Wu Ya squatted down next to Wu Ming, grabbed the wine bottle unceremoniously, raised his head and drank, took a sip, curled his lips and threw it aside.
Several maids poked their heads around and saw that Wu Ming and Li Sisi were not angry, so they left uneasily!
Looking at the capital, only this person can ignore the rules of Zuiyue Tower!
Li Sisi's expression changed obviously, as if she remembered something very bad, she gave Wu Ming a hard look and didn't even look at Wu Ga.
"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and tomorrow you will be worried!"
Wu Ming said with a smile, and once again did some copywriting without any shame, raised his glass and said, "Brother Wu, let's go!" (To be continued)
