Shared Talent: Traveling through a hundred worlds simultaneously

I wonder if this Beiliang veteran is the same Beiliang veteran I remember who knew Xu Fengnian.

A person who is all alone and miserable ends up in a pretty bad situation, and life is not easy.

Even if it wasn't that old soldier from Kitamura, the old man was living such a miserable life, I should help him if I can.

The veteran was also a comrade-in-arms of his grandfather. Although he himself became an orphan at the age of three, he decided that since he had come to this life, he would naturally have to be involved in some things and inherit some karma.

He didn't have a good impression of the ruling class of Kitamura, but since they were all poor people with similar backgrounds, it wouldn't hurt to help each other out.

I didn't have much ability before, but now that I do, I naturally want to make a change.

It can only be said that in this place, those at the bottom of society are not doing well.

The living conditions in Kitamura are truly terrible.

Very few war orphans survive to adulthood; I consider myself lucky. There are many other war orphans whose whereabouts are unknown.

Su Chen still remembers his past experiences, those bitter experiences, which he never wants to experience again in his life.

Having finally awakened his past life memories and gained a different understanding from others at the bottom of society, he changed his current fate and felt that the books he had read before were still useful.

In ancient times, as long as one had self-awareness, relying on one's own knowledge and understanding, and as long as one found the right direction, one could actually make a living.

Now he enjoys delicacies from all over the country and has a group of beautiful and charming maids.

Recalling my past experiences and savoring my current life, it's truly a unique feeling.

I remember when there was no food, I would wander around looking for something to eat.

Perhaps it was because I was clever enough to know where I could find food, and the richest families had the best opportunities outside.

Unlike many orphans who are either missing or dead.

Beimu Prince's Mansion.

The tiger crouches on Qingliang Mountain, a place of exceptional feng shui!
Xu Xiao, the Prince of Beiliang, is the only remaining prince of a different surname in the Liyang court. He is both praised and criticized, but he has accomplished everything except the position of emperor.

Many people would curse him in private, using all sorts of nicknames, including "Second Emperor" and "Xu the Barbarian".

This was the happiest day for Xu Xiao, as his son, Xu Fengnian, who had been traveling for three years, returned home.

Along with his youngest son, Xu Longxiang, he was also about to go to Longhu Mountain to learn martial arts from a master.

The Prince of Beiliang's Mansion, the Crown Prince's Courtyard.

The courtyard was incredibly luxurious, even surpassing the standards of the Northern Liang King's residence, with every detail filled with precious items.

Any random item, if thrown outside, would be priceless.

Even the underground heating system inside the Prince's mansion cost an enormous amount of money, and it was still warm to walk on barefoot in winter.

These things, any one of them, are things that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

No wonder Xu Fengnian, being a playboy back then, could easily throw away hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

Watching the chivalrous warriors fight, he didn't even care about the beautiful woman beneath him, disregarding the daytime, and spent 100,000 taels of silver without batting an eye.

Just like in ancient times, when the wealthy traveled by carriage, they would casually throw out things that the poor could not obtain, but which were worthless in the eyes of the rich.

They would watch the poor chase after the horse-drawn carts, beating them until they were bloodied and bruised, like pigs and dogs, just to amuse them.

Upon seeing his son return, he realized that he was no longer the decisive and ruthless Shang Guozhu, but a father who doted on his son to the point of absurdity.

Xu Fengnian awoke after sleeping for two days and two nights.

As soon as he woke up, Xu Fengnian went on a rampage, smashing everything around him that he could break. He smashed those things that seemed insignificant but were priceless in the outside world into pieces like junk!

To vent their anger over being exiled for three years, the father and son put on a show of filial piety.

Later, Xu Xiao realized that his son was still keeping a low profile, so he mentioned that his son hadn't been back recently, and that an interesting person had appeared in Beiliang.

Xu Fengnian was curious.

After some investigation, it was discovered that he was a low-status war orphan who had made a fortune through business.

Xu Fengnian frowned, displeased, and said, "The descendants of a veteran of a hundred battles are actually engaged in commerce. It's a disgrace to Beiliang."

"Alright, alright, Father, I'll call someone to kill his whole family right away," Xu Xiao said with a smile.

"There's only one person left in his family, how can we kill his whole family?" Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, still angry.

"Then kill everyone connected to him."

With a casual remark, Xu Xiao decided to take the lives of everyone who had a relationship with Su Chen and had received favors from him.

"I just got back, I don't want to kill anyone."

"He wrote these lines of poetry? His writing is quite good. I really don't know how he could write something when he's never been to school?"

Xu Fengnian looked at the magnificent and powerful poems.

These days, practicing martial arts is something only the lower classes do. Since ancient times, martial arts have been inferior to literature.

Being able to write such a fine poem will surely bring him fame, and he can probably eat and drink for free at brothels.

He grew increasingly displeased, naturally looking down on people from the martial arts world given his status.

However, the presence of such a talented writer only fueled his disgust, and he casually offered a word of advice to his father.

Xu Xiao casually replied, "We haven't found out who's behind him yet. We'll talk about it once we find out."

This charlatan, known as the "Butcher of Men," has set his sights on Su Chen.

It can only be said that Su Chen, as a modern person living in a peaceful era, although he has unique insights, is still not vigilant enough.

He thought he could hide himself with romance and depravity, but he didn't know that everything he did crossed the line for Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang.

It started when he started doing business.

That's the absolute bottom line!!!

This kind of person must die!

The Xu family did all this for the sake of the people and for stability, which is why they made the people suffer so much. It was through this suffering that the people were able to have a stable life in Beiliang.

If everyone could develop commerce like Su Chen and make the people rich, would Bei Liang still be able to support 300,000 iron cavalry?

It was precisely because he crossed the biggest line that Xu Xiao noticed this seemingly ordinary orphan of Bei Liang.

They scrutinized and suspected his various actions, concluding that he was a pawn placed there by other forces.

Hearing that his son Xu Fengnian thought the same way, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with his son, who had kept a low profile and endured so much hardship.

Having such a son, she would use every means to ensure that her son would inherit the position.

"The Crown Prince of Kitamura has returned."

Su Chen received the news that, according to his memory, Xu Fengnian had been traveling for three years, accompanied by the great master Lao Huang.

Having spent three years roaming the martial arts world stealing chickens and dogs, he is now at the beginning stage of the story.

After thinking it over, I realized that participating within my own capabilities would be a certain death, so there was no point in getting involved. I might as well just be a nobody, a wealthy man, and enjoy my life.

He had no interest in being a common soldier, fighting to the death for the Xu family of Beiliang, because he couldn't repay their debt of gratitude.

It's a pity there are so many beautiful girls. Su Chen recalled the plot; in his memory, Xu Fengnian had many women willing to die for him.

Most of those women had grudges against Xu Fengnian's family, some even life-or-death feuds, others various grievances and entanglements. In the end, they all lived for Xu Fengnian, believing that he had suffered the most and were willing to give everything for him.

They're all quite good-looking, and their descriptions and other aspects match my aesthetic, but their personalities are just... well, let's just say they're crazy and willing to die for Xu Fengnian.

They are often the kind of people who are obsessed and mad.

Like that Jia Jiajia who wanted a home, in her childhood, amidst wind and snow, she was only given a hairpin by Xu Fengnian.

Then he went mad.

There are many other examples, such as Wu Su, the wife of the King of Wu, who was like a succubus.

Many women who had deep-seated hatred for Xu Fengnian were persuaded by him to become devoted to him and never leave his side.

They're all brain-dead, but they're physically fit.

However, feelings and such are not important. If I had the opportunity, I would naturally want it, but I don't have the opportunity. I am just a rich man.

I have no interest in getting involved in anything. Let the power struggles of those big shots and the various romantic escapades of the martial arts world be their business.

Relying on his own memories of poetry from his past life, Su Chen began a romantic and leisurely daily life.

With the intention of enjoying life, since we only get to live this life once and have gone through so much hardship, we naturally want to eat, drink, and have fun, and have a little bit of everything.

His business is also booming.

They don't do anything extravagant; their expenses are all normal.

When they encounter begging children who have no food, the hungry people of Beiliang can lend a helping hand.

These kinds of people are everywhere in Beiliang.

It was common for ordinary people to starve to death while supporting that massive cavalry.

Moreover, Xu Fengnian's playmates were no good either. Li Shizi, who grew up with Xu Fengnian, liked to throw people into cages to fight with beasts and be eaten by them for his amusement.

There is also Chu Lushan, who is extremely loyal to Xu Fengnian. He is as big as a ball and has a ruthless and vicious personality.

The Hawk-hound is one of the three dog breeds.

They enjoy drinking human milk and often forcibly abduct pregnant women to their homes to taste it. If the taste is unpleasant, they will severely mutilate parts of the woman's body.

Whether they live or die is their own business.

Even so, he still enjoyed Xu Fengnian's deep trust and affection.

Each one is more cruel than the last, more beastly than the last. No wonder the people of Kitamura are not doing well.

It's not just the poor living conditions; so many people of similar stature, even if they don't encounter natural disasters, will suffer man-made calamities.

He had read this novel before. He couldn't get into it the first time, but he found it quite interesting as he continued reading. Later, he belatedly realized that something seemed off.

Then I came across a sentence: "A tree stands tall in the snow, its spirit upright; a sword strikes, its values ​​restored." Every time I see it, I want to laugh.

A line from the poem goes: "The northerners suffer, but the one who suffers the most is the white-clad."

It brought tears to the eyes of countless ignorant people, and Su Chen was laughing so hard he died.

He came into this world personally, so he has the most right to speak on this matter.

Having experienced those past events, he no longer holds any expectations for the world's romanticism or integrity.

Where is the romance? Are you talking about the cannibalistic romance of the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties?

That's really too much! A whole pot of things mixed together!
Every single member of the upper class was killed; not one was innocent. Even if one escaped, there was always one who managed to slip through the net.

He felt that he was no longer a businessman with any moral compass, but compared to the businessmen of this world, the ancient policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was not without reason.

As a modern person, coming to such a feudal ancient dynasty, I really feel out of place.

The main conflict lies in cognitive aspects.

Su Chen was also worried that his incongruity would cause some trouble, so he has now begun to gradually integrate into this era.

It's just that none of those big shots are as ruthless as them.

It's just that I spent my life in places of pleasure, spending a lot of money to eat and drink well and see things I'd never seen before.

After the return of Prince Xu Fengnian of Beiliang, he avoided going to brothels to avoid being caught in the act and not knowing what to do.

However, in Xu Xiao's view, this situation was actually abnormal.

Big shots are always suspicious, and someone like Xu Xiao, who is not related to the royal family, would rather kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

There have been many farcical incidents caused by Xu Fengnian, after which he killed countless innocent people, leaving behind a trail of severed heads.

And so, Su Chen was arrested on a pretext, and his enormous fortune quickly crumbled, becoming nothing more than an ornament in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

After all, his wealth was just a drop in the ocean compared to that of Xu Xiao, the Prince of Beiliang.

Su Chen, who was captured, secretly imprisoned, and tortured at the Beiliang Prince's Mansion, felt completely bewildered.

In order to survive, they gritted their teeth and endured it. From them, they learned that Xu Xiao wanted to know what kind of power was behind him and why he was able to write these poems.

Huh? He was speechless. Could these poems be composed so easily? He doubted that anyone in the world could do it.

Of course, he would never admit it, no one else was instigating him. He claimed that he was the orphan of a veteran, and that his entire family had died on the battlefield for Bei Liang.

Having been given a second chance at life, he certainly didn't want to die like this.

That day, Xu Xiao came in person and thoroughly investigated all the intelligence.

No clue was overlooked; it is certain that all traces of Su Chen, who has lived in Beiliang his entire life, are being recorded.

There is no possibility that it could be bought off or influenced by external forces.

Those poems were no ordinary poems; even his second daughter, that exceptionally talented woman, praised them.

There's only one possibility: this little guy is the reincarnation of the God of Literature.

Unfortunately, he was born in Beiliang, where people look down on literati and scholars.

Besides, this young man in front of me can enjoy himself as he pleases, but we shouldn't cross his bottom line and involve those ordinary people and veterans.

This behavior is overstepping its bounds! Bei Liang belongs to the Xu family!
If you lend a hand, won't people all say that the Xu family is a threat, and won't rumors start circulating outside?

This is detrimental to internal unity within Kitamura!
Xu Xiao knew that this was a misunderstanding, but it couldn't be considered a complete misunderstanding.

Now that things have come to this, Su Chen has been poisoned and rendered mute, his leg broken, and he's been thrown out. Special personnel are being sent to secretly investigate.

After some rumors spread, Su Chen was burdened with various accusations of disloyalty, filial impiety, and injustice. (End of Chapter)
