Zongwu: Starting with Huashan Sect, Zhou Zhiruo breaks off the engagement

Chapter 144 Qi Chen Goes to Daming
After everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Qin Fan then told us the purpose of his visit.

"In addition to sending the little princess back, I also need your help with something else!"

"Brother Qin, just say whatever you want!"

King Mu was relieved to learn that Mu Jianqiu was fine.

"When I was in Liaodong, I received news that Wu Sangui, the King of Zhennan in the Ming Dynasty, was colluding with the Qing court and intending to rebel!"

As soon as Qin Fan said this, he immediately attracted the attention of several people.

Wu Sangui was stationed at the Ming border all year round, which was the southern gateway of the Ming Dynasty.

Once Wu Sangui rebelled, the southern gate of the Ming Dynasty would be wide open. At that time, either Xu Xiao of Beiliang or Li Yang might take the opportunity to harass the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was well aware of Wu Sangui's importance, so they conferred him the title of King of the Other Side, which was hereditary.

Even the princes of the Ming Dynasty had never received such an honor.

Who would have thought that Wu Sangui, who had been favored by the emperor for generations, was still thinking of rebellion?

"Brother Qin, is this news accurate?"

Prince Mu still had some doubts in his heart. After all, the imperial court had always been nice to Wu Sangui, and that guy had no reason to join forces with the Qing court to rebel.

"Of course it's accurate. I heard that this time it was the leader of the Shenlong Cult who contacted Wu Sangui as a lobbyist!"

"They plan to unite with Liao and Jin to attack Ming from both north and south!"

Qin Fan said this and called Su Quan over and introduced her.

"This is the Holy Maiden of the Divine Dragon Cult. She knows everything about Hong Antong's contact with Wu Sangui!"

Upon hearing this, King Mu lowered his head in silent thought.

"Brother Qin, this matter is beyond your and my control. Although I am the King of Mu, I am a king of the opposite sex like Wu Sangui. If I submit a letter to the emperor, it will inevitably be suspected of stirring up trouble!"

“What’s more…” King Mu looked at Qin Fan with an apologetic look on his face, and said awkwardly: “It’s not that I don’t believe Brother Qin, but I have no evidence, and it’s difficult for me to do it!”

Qin Fan naturally knew the problem here. He had never intended to pass the message through King Mu. Wouldn't the credit then belong to King Mu?

Even if he had proof, he wouldn't show it to him now.

"I understand your difficulty, so I came here this time to ask you for help in introducing me!"

"I have long heard that the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis of the Daming Hulong Villa is a chivalrous and upright man. I want to meet the Divine Marquis in person, but I am just a commoner, so I came to find the prince..."

"Oh? If that's the case, I can help introduce you. I have some friendship with the Marquis!"

When King Mu heard this, he felt relieved.

He didn't want to get involved in these things. For many years, he was stationed in Liaodong. In theory, he was a prince of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, he had been abandoned.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court.

In recent years, he has been more focused on winning over people in the underworld to resist the Qing government.

Now, if he were to directly write a letter to denounce Wu Sangui, he might be envied.

But if he just needs help with an introduction, he would be happy to help.

After all, if this is true, someone must warn the court, right?

What's more, Qin Fan had done him a great favor, so it was difficult for him to refuse.

King Mu immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen, and a letter, which he sent to Zhu Wusi by express horse.

Seeing that everything was settled, Qin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There is only one last thing left.

Qin Fan waited until everyone had dispersed before he found King Mu and told him about Mu Jianping's matter.

Qin Fan originally thought that this matter would be very complicated, but he didn't expect that King Mu would actually laugh after hearing it.

"After Ping'er came back, I noticed something was wrong with her. Not long ago, she told the princess about this!" "Although I have been awarded the throne by the court, I am more like a gangster!"

As Prince Mu spoke, his expression became lonely.

"I had placed my hopes on that child, but now it seems that there is no hope for him!"

"Qin Fan, you are young and promising, and you will definitely achieve extraordinary success in the future!"

"If anything happens to me in the future, Prince Mu's Mansion will be entrusted to you!"

King Mu said this and took out a token and handed it to Qin Fan.

The Mu Palace is also hereditary, and this token will determine who will inherit the throne in the future.

Qin Fan knew that Prince Mu had handed the important task of Prince Mu's Palace into his hands.

But this is also King Mu’s only choice now.

The Mu Palace was never valued by the imperial court, and over the years it had more interactions with the martial arts world than with the imperial court.

And Qin Fan is one of the best young people in the martial arts world today. If he inherits the Mu Palace, even if the imperial court is defeated in the future, the Mu Palace will still be able to rely on Qin Fan's martial arts power to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

King Mu naturally would not object to the relationship between Qin Fan and Mu Jianping. In fact, he even wanted to bring the two of them together in his heart.

Qin Fan didn't act pretentiously and accepted the token.

The Prince Mu's Mansion will eventually need someone to carry it. Prince Mu is old, so Qin Fan naturally would not refuse this matter.

After settling everything, Qin Fan took everyone and left Prince Mu's Mansion early the next morning.

Within a few days, Qin Fan and his group arrived in the capital.

As one of the two great dynasties in Kyushu, the prosperity of the capital of Ming Dynasty is no less than that of Liyang and Tai'an.

Qin Fan did not delay and went straight to Hulong Villa.

With the letter from King Mu, he soon met the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi.

This marquis is the uncle of the current emperor and holds great power in the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Fan went to find Zhu Wusi in order to use him to get rid of Hong Antong. Of course, he knew very well that this marquis did not have a good impression of those people in the East Factory.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In a sense, this marquis is also one of our own.

When Zhu Wusi saw Qin Fan, he seemed particularly enthusiastic.

"I have heard of the great name of Huashan disciple Qin Fan for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary. At such a young age, he has already achieved the cultivation of a grandmaster. It is true that heroes emerge from youth!"

Zhu Wusi pulled Qin Fan into the hall.

Zhu Wusi established the Hulong Villa to monitor the world.

There was nothing in the martial arts world that he didn't know. Now that Qin Fan was becoming famous in the martial arts world, he had naturally heard about him a long time ago.

However, even Zhu Wusi did not expect that Qin Fan, at such a young age, had already become a grandmaster. Such qualifications are unique in the world.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I was just lucky. I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as you!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Qin is too modest!"

The two of them sat down, and Zhu Wusi said softly.

"As my friend said, King Mu has already stated it in the letter, and I have also sent out my spies to get the news!"

"Your Majesty is wise and intelligent. I admire you!"

Qin Fan didn't expect that Zhu Wusi would act so quickly. He had just arrived in the capital, and he had already sent people to investigate.

However, Qin Fan had heard of the names of the three secret agents of Huolong Villa.

Those three people are all very powerful. The key is that they are spies trained by Huolong Villa since childhood. They are professionals in collecting intelligence.
