Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 995: Ending Invincible
The killing in Xiangfan City was over, and there was a new Princess Jing'an among Xu Fengnian and his group.

Under Li Chungang's suggestion, Xu Fengnian healed Blue Bird's wounds. Stimulated by the true qi left in Blue Bird by the Tianhu Order, the Dahuangting in his body entered the fourth level.

Afterwards, he was taught by Li Chungang and learned the unique skill "Two Sleeves Green Snake".

After the Qingzhou incident was settled, Xu Fengnian and his group rushed to Jiangnan without stopping.

During the period, Xu Fengnian and his party passed by a stream, and a female killer who had been holding her breath for a long time rushed out from the bottom of the stream.

Fortunately, Li Chungang was by his side and took action in time, repelling him with a blast of sword energy.

Because the woman always loved to laugh, she was called the Hehe Girl.

The assassination of Hehe girl can only be regarded as an episode in Xu Fengnian's journey.

After traveling day and night, the group finally reached the Jiangnan Road.

Jiangnan Province is the granary of the country and the richest place in the world. Over the past hundred years, many counties and prefectures in Jiangnan Province have been producing many scholars, and the spirit of pure conversation and the spirit of aides are very strong.

There are many noble families here. In the previous dynasty, there was the Huting Lu family, which had "eight ministers assisted the Song Dynasty", the Jiangxin Yu family, which had three officials in four generations, the Bojie Yuan family, who were the most knowledgeable people in the world, and the Gumu Xu family, who were all first-class families among the top ten aristocratic families at that time.

After the Spring and Autumn War, the four major families kept a low profile and restrained their edge.

But its foundation is beyond the reach of the emerging Youth Party.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about the nearest one.

There was once a son of the governor of Qingzhou who wanted to marry a lame woman from the Yu family as his wife, but was still rejected.

Yu bluntly said that the county magistrate's family was a poor family of low rank, and if they formed a marriage alliance, it would be no different from marrying livestock to someone.
The words were so harsh that the local governor could only retreat in dismay, not daring to say anything more.

This place advocates pure talk and profound theories. The sons of scholars wear loose clothes and wide belts, wear crane robes with feather fans and scarves, and are heavily perfumed. They are not good at riding and shooting, but cultivate their character by eating stones. Even the book boys have to be those pale young men with red lips and white teeth.

Therefore, in the eyes of the scholars in Jiangnan Province, no one is not to be criticized and everything is to be commented on. Among the 30,000 people in the Imperial College of the capital, most of those who like to point fingers at the country's affairs come from Jiangnan Province.

It was also this group of people who had always looked down on the people of Beiliang, believing that Beiliang's education was crude and its customs were unbearable.

Xu Fengnian and Xu Tianjiao's eldest sister Xu Zhihu married into Huting County in this area.

As Xu Fengnian and others walked along the way, they heard rumors about their eldest sister Xu Zhihu.

It is said that he was slapped by a woman from a noble family in the neighboring Jiangxin County. This talented woman came up with the idea of ​​cursing him as a broken incense burner. Incense burners have many holes, which is a metaphor for a slut. This saying has never been seen in any books. After the scholars of the two counties came to their senses, they all applauded. For a time, the saying about Xu Xianglu in Jiangnan Dao became more and more popular, especially among the high-ranking families in Jiangnan Dao who were against Xu Zhihu.

After Xu Fengnian heard about this, he first killed several scholars who were the leaders of the gossip in the restaurant.

Afterwards, Yuan Meng was left watching the remaining scholars feeding each other urine.

He personally led fifty riders to Jiangxin County, tied up the so-called seduced contemporary Liu Liting, nicknamed Mr. Chengzhai, behind his horse and dragged him to death.

Xu Fengnian was not there, and he had to face the Lu family who were making things difficult for him and his group by not opening the middle door to welcome them.

Yu Youwei, who had been with Xu Fengnian for a long time and had learned some of his ways of doing things, asked Yuan Meng to kill the second steward of the Lu Mansion first, and then to tear down the central gate of the Lu Mansion.

The conflict was not settled until Xu Fengnian returned from Jiangxin County and Lu Baijie, the fifth-ranked "Tangxi Sword Immortal" in the Lu Mansion, showed up to stop them. Xu Fengnian and his party entered the mansion.

When Xu Fengnian went to Jiangxin County to vent his anger for his sister, he was assassinated by Miss Hehe on his way back to the city.

Fortunately, Xu Fengnian's Dahuangting has reached a new level.

Facing the assassination of Miss Hehe, he was only injured superficially. Afterwards, everyone heard that there was a debate in Baoguo Temple.

In Baoguo Temple, he met a poor scholar who wanted to enter with a beggar.

With the help of Xu Fengnian, the scholar debated on the debate between the kingly and the hegemonic with Yuan Honghu, who was known as "the number one celebrity in Jiangzuo", at the Qushui Liushang Qingtan.

When the debate was at its most intense, a middle-aged scholar in blue came in from outside the temple and bowed solemnly to the maidservant beside Xu Fengnian, saying, "Cao Changqing, the criminal subject of Western Chu, pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

There is little record of Cao Changqing in the history of the fallen Western Chu. All we know is that he was born in a commoner family, was weak in childhood, and was famous in Beijing for his chess skills.

At the age of nine, he was summoned to the inner court. The Emperor of Western Chu suddenly came up with such a grand proposition as testing life and death. Not to mention children, even an old man in his sixties might not be able to talk about life with chess. Cao Changqing responded with "The rules of the board are square like righteousness, the pieces are round and lively like wisdom, the chess pieces come to life when they move like talents, and the chess pieces die when they are still and proud". The emperor bestowed the title of "Cao Family Little Proud" on him and promoted his family to the rank of scholar-officials as an exception. Because his family was located in Longli County, Cao Changqing was later nicknamed "Cao Longli".

At the age of twelve, he played three games with the imperial teacher Li Mi. He was defeated early in the first two games, but fought hard for 200 moves in the last game. He became more and more courageous as the game went on, which made Huang Sanjia describe him as the imperial teacher of Western Chu who was so powerful that no one could rival Li Mi once he died, and a genius who could dominate the chess world for thirty years.

Cao Changqing immersed himself in chess for twenty years and won the third nickname in his life, "Cao Touxiu" in the Palace.

At the age of 32, he went to the southern border to command an army alone, resisting the barbarians. He often made strange plans and always won battles with a smaller force, which earned him the title of Cao Bei Ma.

Until the Battle of Xileibi, the situation of Western Chu was hopeless and the empire was about to collapse. Cao Touxiu could not hold on alone and the world only knew how to escape to the rivers and seas. But for some reason, Cao Changqing, who was known to be unskilled in bows and horses, or swords, suddenly turned into a martial arts master with the strength of a million people, and won the reputation of winning Cao Guanzi with chess.

According to the martial artist Ying Cao Qingyi, in the past 20 years, he has been ranked among the top three in two martial arts evaluations, and his popularity is unparalleled.

In the first ten years, no less than twenty important officials of Liyang were assassinated by this man in blue clothes who had fallen from his country. Each time he came alone and left with the heads of the people. In the last ten years, he entered Tai'an City three times, twice breaking into the imperial palace. He faced two emperors successively and killed hundreds of soldiers.

The closest he was to the current emperor was only fifty steps away. If it weren't for the protection of Han Diao Temple, Cao Qingyi might have chopped off the most noble head in the world among thousands of soldiers.

The reason he did this was just to tell the emperor.

No matter how powerful the three households of Chu are, as long as he is there, Li Yang will not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the world.

And the person that Cao Qingyi hated most in his life was not the royal family of Liyang, nor the butcher of Beiliang, but Huang Sanjia, the Yellow Dragon Soldier.

Cao Changqing and Cao Qingyi came here only for Jiang Ni, the Princess of Chu and the only bloodline of the Queen of Chu, to plan the restoration of the country.

Xu Fengnian naturally wouldn't allow it.

Cao Changqing and Li Chungang.

The leader of the four great masters of the previous generation.

A contemporary world ranked fourth, but actually the third in the final is invincible.

Two world-famous masters confronted each other, and Cao Guanzi's cold voice rang out, "Who dares to stop me!"

At this moment, in the solemn scene, bursts of piano sounds were heard, sweeping away all the layers of atmosphere.

"To plot for the restoration of the country for one person is the crime of one person."

"Colluding with Gu Jiantang and intending to cause cholera in the Central Plains is the second crime."

"Ignoring innocent lives and trying to start another war is the third crime."

The sound of the piano is like the flow of a sword, and every sound shakes the empty abdomen.

"Cao Changqing, you are unforgivable!"
