My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 92 The Secret of the Battle of Yinwu [4k Chapter]

Earl Zhongyuan.

My own cousin-in-law.

Fighting in this war together with King Jiang and King Qi.

After returning from the battlefield, his cousin's husband died in battle and the house of the Earl of Zhongyuan was ransacked.

There must be some secret in this.

Zeng Anmin was a little confused, but he still looked at the fat prince calmly.

The fat prince was now slowly recounting the battle:
"The Holy Dynasty and the Jiang Dynasty joined forces to attack the Bixuan tribe."

"The location is in front of Yumen Pass in front of the Wan Yao Mountains."

"Speaking of Yumen Pass, it was built before Emperor Ai of Han ascended the throne. His father Emperor Xin of Han was also far-sighted and ordered people to build it at the border."

"It is also because of this Yumen Pass that my Great Saint Dynasty and Jiang Country have been free from the scourge of the demons for hundreds of years."

"Speaking of the point." Zeng Anmin felt that the fat prince was getting more and more excited, so he reminded him.

"Oh!" The prince coughed lightly, reorganized his thoughts, then raised his head and said seriously:

"Back then, our Great Saint Dynasty had Ji Qing in charge, commanding 70,000 soldiers, and the newly promoted fourth-rank warrior King Qi by his side."

"There is another one, who is of the fifth rank, but holding a three-foot sword, he is able to fight against the undefeated fourth rank genius Duan Yuheng!"

The prince paused for a moment, then regained his composure and said, "That is Earl Zhongyuan."

"Mr. Zhongyuan was known as the best swordsman in the capital back then."

"Isn't Bai Ziqing the best swordsman in the capital?" Zeng Anmin was stunned.

He did not forget that when he was in Liangjiang County, Bai Ziqing said that if he encountered trouble in the capital in the future, he should mention his title of the best swordsman in the capital.

Speaking of him, I don't know how his hair dyeing skills are now.

"Haha, Brother Quan Fu, you don't know that although Bai Ziqing is also a genius and was successfully promoted to the fourth rank two years ago, he once fought with Zhongyuan Bo... Although only the two of them knew about that battle, after that battle, Bai Ziqing joined the Imperial City Department as an ordinary clerk."

"Speaking of which, Bai Ziqing also participated in the battle where Yinwu slew the monster, but he just followed behind King Qi the whole time and didn't get much credit."

"It was only after Lord Zhongyuan died that he dared to call himself the best swordsman in the capital."

The prince explained to Zeng Anmin with a smile, and then he emphasized:
"He calls himself the best swordsman in the capital."

understood.

The title of the best swordsman in the capital was given to himself by Bai Ziqing.

Zeng Anmin couldn't help but feel happy.

Wait, why did we go off track again?

Aren't we supposed to be talking about the war?
Zeng Anmin was too lazy to correct the prince and asked directly:

"How did Earl Zhongyuan die? Why was his property confiscated by the imperial court?"

Hearing Zeng Anmin's words, the prince's face turned slightly cold and he said:
"Then Lord Zhongyuan has surrendered to the demon."

What? ! !
Zeng Anmin was stunned!
Throwing a demon? ?
These two simple words bring with them an amount of information so overwhelming that it makes your scalp tingle.

Treason and betrayal.

This crime means not only the confiscation of property but also the execution of nine generations of the clan, which is a light punishment.

If the emperor doesn't become more open-minded, he will kill all ten clans.

and many more……

If that's the case, how did my cousin survive?

You know, my cousin had already married into the Zhongyuan Earl's Mansion at that time...

Could it be that his dad used his connections to keep him here?

No, I have to go back and ask him!

His thoughts were in a mess. Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and suppressed all these tangled thoughts.

He looked at the little fat prince with a very serious look.

The fat prince sighed when he saw Zeng Anmin remained silent for a long time:
"In fact, when I heard this news, I didn't believe it either, but the fact is happening right before my eyes..."

"After several major battles, both the demon tribe and the Shengjiang coalition suffered heavy casualties."

"King Qi is injured and unable to move."

"Finally, the plan to lure the enemy was devised by the Empress of Jiang State, who was then the eldest princess."

"The ambush site was set at Baideng Road, not far from Yumen Pass."

"Bai Deng said..." Zeng Anmin looked thoughtful.

"At that time, the coalition forces of the two countries moved all their troops to the vicinity of Baideng Road."

"Because King Qi was injured, the task of luring the enemy troops here was given to Zhongyuan Bo Duan Yuheng."

At this point, the prince's eyes turned cold, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice:
"But no one expected that the coalition forces of the two countries waited for nearly two days, but still failed to see Earl Zhongyuan lead the demon army here."

"After waiting for a few more days, Ji Qing sent troops to search, but they only found a messy battlefield. The demon soldiers had already retreated..."

"Wait." Zeng Anmin noticed a detail and looked towards the prince:

"In other words, the demon tribe seemed to have received news that they were going to be ambushed, so they did not enter Baideng Road."

After Zeng Anmin said this, the prince's face became a little gloomy. He nodded and continued:
"At that time, all the generals and soldiers of the two countries were lying in ambush at Baideng Road. Only Duan Yuheng was leading the troops outside. He was ordered to go and lure the enemy. No one knows what he did during those two days outside."

"That's not enough to prove that he's a demon."

Zeng Anmin felt that it was too frivolous to pin the crime on his cousin's husband so easily.

The prince took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice:

"When we found Duan Yuheng, we only found his body, and there was a green tail growing from the coccyx of his body..."

Zeng Anmin was shocked.

Demon blood martial arts? !
No wonder he could fight against a fourth-grade warrior with the fifth-grade talent...

"Brother Quan Fu may not understand the way of a warrior very well. In addition to cultivating one's own martial arts pills, there is another way to advance in martial arts, and that is to use the essence and blood of the demon race."

The prince took a deep breath and said, "So, there is only one conclusion."

"When Duan Yuheng was ordered to lure the enemy out, he encountered Bixuan and was lured by the Bixuan demon king with his blood, which led to the disclosure of the ambush."

"After receiving accurate information, Bi Xuan led his troops away and killed Duan Yuheng before leaving."

……

As the prince finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

Zeng Anmin exhaled slowly.

Inexplicably, I thought of Hu Zi's expectant eyes.

How am I going to tell him when I get back?
That your father is a holy traitor?
"Well, thank you, Your Highness, for clearing up my confusion."

Zeng Anmin slowly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Brother Quan Fu, this is too formal. From now on, just call me Ju Xian when you are outside."

It was rare for the little fat prince to see a smile on Zeng Anmin's face. For a moment, he was even a little flattered...

"Juxian... Yeah."

Zeng Anmin patted the prince on the shoulder and said softly:

"We will be friends from now on."

"Let's go and have dinner together."

“Hehehehe…” When the prince heard the word “friend”, a silly smile appeared on his face.

It wasn't until Zeng Anmin walked away that he reacted. He quickly stood up and trotted after Zeng Anmin:
"Wait for me!"

…………

After dinner, Zeng Anmin and the prince came to the classroom again.

"Brother Quan Fu."

Qin Wanyue arrived so early. After feeling Zeng Anmin sit down, she put the book on the table with a smile and looked over at him.

"Miss Qin is studying really hard, is she going to be the top scholar in the future?"

Zeng Anmin started joking.

He was really puzzled as to why Qin Wanyue studied so hard.

Women in this world cannot take part in the imperial examinations.

"Haha." Qin Wanyue could naturally hear Zeng Anmin's joke, and he covered his mouth and laughed:

"I can't compare to Brother Quan Fu's extraordinary talent, so I should work harder."

There's nothing wrong with that.

"If it's about talent..."

Zeng Anmin nodded seriously and said, "Then you really should pay more attention."

Qin Wanyue: ...

The Fat Prince: ...

"Just kidding." Zeng Anmin rolled his eyes as he looked at the two people with dazed eyes.

Miss Qin is good in every way, except that she sometimes takes her own jokes too seriously.

While the three were chatting, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the door.

I saw a student coming in from outside excitedly, and said in a very loud voice:
"My fellow students, have you heard? Zeng Liangjiang has a new work!!"

After this voice was heard, the hall was quiet for a while.

Then there was a burst of extremely enthusiastic voices:

"What new work?"

"Can it compare to "Ode to the Two Rivers"?"

"Brother Shi, please read it quickly!"

"Oh my, I'm so anxious!!"

"........."

The interest of several students sitting there was aroused.

Hear their conversations.

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips unconsciously.

I am obviously indifferent to fame and fortune.

Why is there still someone here showing off for me?
There's no need to turn your head, Qin Wanyue and Wang Yuanzhen must be holding back smiles on their faces!

"Don't worry!"

"This poem starts with Zeng Liangjiang entering the illusion array and participating in the East Palace assessment."

No one knew where the student got the information from, and his face was full of mystery.

"The Eastern Palace's assessment? The Crown Prince's tutor?"

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

"Look, there are always people like this who disturb my studies. Come on! I'm waiting to study!!"

"..."

"It is said that after Zeng Liangjiang entered the illusion array, his memory was blocked. He just chatted with the prince in the illusion array for a few words, and then he heard the sound of shouting and killing!"

"The voices were all the sounds of rebels rushing into the palace, and the rebels were shouting, "Whoever captures the crown prince Wang Yuanzhen will be rewarded with a million! !""

"The Crown Prince of the East Palace was so anxious that he was sweating all over his forehead."

"Zeng Liangjiang was not in a hurry. He raised the sharp knife in his hand and looked at the prince..." The man was interrupted halfway through his words.

"Wait a minute! Zeng Liangjiang's memory was suppressed in the formation, so his true nature will not be exposed... You want to kill the prince in exchange for a reward, right?"

Someone suddenly shouted a question.

"Yes! Anyone who suddenly encounters such a thing will probably focus on their own interests!"

"I bet ten taels! Zeng Liangjiang's sharp knife must have pierced the prince's abdomen!"

"Haha, I bet thirty taels!!"

……

Suddenly, the whole scene became noisy.

They don't look like Confucianists or Taoists at all. Instead, they look like a bunch of street thugs.

Qin Wanyue, who was sitting in her seat, had no intention of reading and just pricked up her ears.

She pursed her lips tightly and clenched her white hands into fists under her sleeves.

……

"Haha! Who is Zeng Liangjiang? He picked up the knife to cut off the prince's hair!"

"And he shouted at the still panicking prince: "Take off your clothes! Change quickly! Your Highness, run away!"

After that sound, the whole hall fell silent.

"The prince collapsed on the ground, completely dominated by Zeng Liangjiang. He waited until the two of them changed their clothes, and then Zeng Liangjiang went to the rebels alone, ready to die heroically!!"

After saying this, everyone fell silent.

They all knew that in the Xuanzhensi's illusion array, the examinee's memory was suppressed.

Everything you experience in the illusion is your truest reflection.

"However, after the rebels captured Zeng Liangjiang, they also captured the fleeing prince."

"When the prince reappeared in front of Zeng Liangjiang, the rebel leader wanted to humiliate Zeng Liangjiang. Guess what Zeng Liangjiang said at this time?"

The man looked mysterious.

"If you keep keeping me in suspense, I will no longer be associated with you!"

"that is!"

"Damn Riddler!"

"..."

Hearing the angry voices, the man slowly raised his head, and his voice was full of certainty:
"Zeng Liangjiang turned toward the prince and shouted in an excited voice: My master is in the south! How can I die facing north?!"

"After leaving the battlefield, Zeng Liangjiang immediately felt emotional and said loudly:"

"Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it! The armor shines brightly towards the sun, revealing its golden scales!!"

"..."

"I will repay your kindness on the Golden Stage and die for you with the Jade Dragon!"

Silence, deathly silence.

All the students' lips began to tremble.

Some people even had tears in their eyes, moved by Zeng Liangjiang's selfless act!
"Bang!!!"

Suddenly, someone stood on the table and shouted, "Zeng Liangjiang is a man of steel! He would rather break than bend. He is a man of blood! He is truly a role model for our generation!"

"I have always longed for this. I must see Zeng Liangjiang in person in this lifetime!!"

"If I don't meet Zeng Liangjiang in this life, I will have no face to return to my hometown in the future!"

……

Zeng Anmin wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Zeng Liangjiang is indeed a man of steel!"

The prince's teasing voice rang in Zeng Anmin's ears.

Zeng Anmin gave him a death stare.

"Haha." These words successfully made Qin Wanyue laugh.

After hearing about the illusion, Qin Wanyue looked at Zeng Anmin with even more tenderness in her eyes.

"I didn't expect Brother Quan Fu...to have such a character."

Qin Wanyue's eyes were full of light and her voice was filled with genuine admiration.

"Hehe." Zeng Anmin pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled speechlessly.

"It's just that the prince is too weak in character."

Qin Wanyue frowned and criticized: "I hope he can be alert to himself through this illusion."

"Pfft~" Zeng Anmin really couldn't help laughing out loud.

The fat boy in the back seat's smile froze.

……

Time always passes quickly.

The school in the Imperial College ends very early.

It was probably around four o'clock in the afternoon in my previous life.

The sun was just slightly westward at this time.

Zeng Anmin rode his beloved little green horse and headed home.

Soon they arrived at the Shangshu brother's door.

As soon as he got home, he saw his father getting off the carriage.

"Dad! Why are you so free today?"

Zeng Anmin dismounted, looked at Zeng Shilin curiously and asked.

"Today's official business has been completed."

The old man saw his son, nodded slightly, walked side by side with Zeng Anmin, and then asked calmly:
"How do you feel about the past two days in the Imperial College?"

"It's only been two days. I'm not familiar with my classmates. They don't even know my name..."

Zeng Anmin remembered what they talked about during breaks.

There is no wave in my heart.

It's actually quite funny.

"I have never met Zeng Liangjiang in my life, and I will not be able to return to my hometown in the future..."

The young man made it rhyme quite well.

Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?!
