Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 333 Who Owns the World
Huang Sixi felt that the Wagang Army had been in uprising for several years and had been repeatedly fighting with the Sui Army. Even if Li Mi broke through Xingluo Cang, it should not be surprising to people all over the world.

There must be other reasons for the drastic changes in the world situation that Song Yuzhi described.

Just as Huang Sixi guessed.

Song Yuzhi continued to narrate: "In May, the Tuyuhun king Fuyun led his troops to attack Xihai County, plotting a major attack, and became another threat to our Central Plains in addition to the Turks and Tiele tribes."

Tuyuhun was a foreign ethnic group that roamed the Western Regions. This military campaign could actually be considered a return to their homeland, because Fuqi City in Xihai County was once the capital of Tuyuhun.

A few years before he succeeded to the throne, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty adopted Pei Ju's strategy, inducing Tiele to attack Tuyuhun, expelling Fu Yun from the Tangut tribe, and regaining control of the Silk Road.

During the two years of war in Central China, Fuyun rebuilt the Tuyuhun Khanate, made a comeback, and wreaked havoc in the western Xinjiang.

After understanding the situation of Tuyuhun, Huang Sixi analyzed: "Tie Le is the mortal enemy of Tuyuhun, and the Turks are the mortal enemy of Tie Le. The three parties have been attacking each other for years, and naturally they are also restraining each other. Tuyuhun's troops cannot continue to advance eastward for the time being!"

Song Yuzhi also agreed with Huang Sixi's statement.

She was just lamenting the troubled times: "Fu Yun's son Fu Qian is extremely famous in the Western Regions. His martial arts are comparable to Qu Ao's. He is also very strategic and ambitious. The Hu tribes in the border areas are becoming more and more prosperous, but the Central Plains are in constant turmoil. I don't know when the world will be peaceful again."

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Huang Sixi's shoulder, and the little dragon also raised its head and looked straight at her.

She had first seen the little dragon a few months ago, but because it was a quick encounter, she was unable to confirm the little dragon's origin. Now, looking at it up close, she had seen the little dragon's appearance clearly, and the shock in her heart was beyond words.

She couldn't help but be curious and asked in confusion, "Mr. Huang, is this really a snake?"

Huang Sixi smiled and said, "If you don't think it's a snake, you can call it a dragon. It doesn't mind anyway!"

"dragon?"

Song Yuzhi felt her heartbeat quicken. She actually saw the legendary dragon. She couldn't help rubbing her eyes, fearing that she was dazzled.

Huang Sixi continued to ask her: "Besides Li Mi's attack on Xingluo Cang and the resurgence of Tuyuhun, were there any other major events?"

"Yes! And it's the most serious incident. Last month, Li Yuan was left behind in Taiyuan...ah!"

Song Yuzhi was halfway through his words when the little dragon suddenly leaped forward and pounced on Song Yuzhi's chest.

Song Yuzhi screamed immediately and raised her jade palm quickly, wanting to blow the little dragon away. However, she was worried about hurting the dragon, so she resisted the urge to do it, and ended up blushing.

Huang Sixi shouted at the side: "How could you be so mean, little fellow!"

He was just about to catch the little dragon, but he saw the little dragon raised its nose and sniffed, then lightly bounced on Song Yuzhi's chest, passed over Song Yuzhi's shoulder, and jumped onto the package behind him.

Then it started digging with all four claws, as if searching for something.

Huang Sixi immediately asked, "Madam Song, do you have any exotic flowers or fruits with you?"

"Strange flowers and fruits? There is indeed one!"

Song Yuzhi nodded quickly: "Didn't I tell Mr. Huang when we parted last time? Since it's my first visit, I need to bring a small gift. So I brought a thousand-year-old ginseng."

"This little dragon is greedy. It doesn't want to attack you, but eat your ginseng!"

Huang Sixi explained it to her.

After hearing this, she tilted her head and saw that the little dragon had torn open the package and grabbed the box of ginseng.

But no matter how hard the little dragon grabbed, the box didn't move at all.

Song Yuzhi pinched out a piece of metal and held it in front of the little dragon: "This is a mechanism box. It needs a key to open it. Why don't you let Yuzhi help you open the box?"

The little dragon immediately used its front legs to pick up the box, stood on Song Yuzhi's shoulders with its hind legs, and handed the box over.

"Ah! It understands human language!"

Song Yuzhi was very surprised. She no longer had any doubt that the little dragon was a real dragon, so she quickly opened the box.

The little dragon got the ginseng, brought it back to Huang Sixi's shoulder and started chewing it.

Song Yuzhi smiled and spread his hands: "Mr. Huang, can this be considered as Yuzhi giving you a gift?"

Huang Sixi said: "Of course! Let's go back to the academy and talk!"

He immediately invited Song Yuzhi to go to Jianglongyuan.

Song Yuzhi looked forward and saw a wooden gate with a fence through the dense flowers.

She sighed softly, "Did Mr. Huang build a school in the mountains? That couldn't be better. With Mr. Huang teaching them personally, those children will definitely become pillars of society when they grow up!"

Huang Sixi did not hold out high hopes: "As long as they can be self-sufficient and self-protective, that will be enough."

Then he asked, "Did Li Yuan start a rebellion against the Sui Dynasty?"

"Mr. Huang actually guessed that Li Yuan would rebel?"

Song Yuzhi couldn't figure out where Huang Sixi got the information from.

Li Yuan's rebellion was a secret event that happened just a few days ago. If the Song clan had not arranged spies in Taiyuan, they would not have been able to get the news so quickly.

But Song Yuzhi thought again, Huang Sixi can even tame a real dragon, so what else can't he do?

She no longer felt strange and talked about Li Yuan's situation: "Li Yuan had not made up his mind to rebel. It was his son Li Shimin who stole a weapons account book from the Dongming Sect through Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. After Li Yuan learned that the account book was stolen, he decided to start a rebellion!"

"Is a mere account book so important?"

"The account book is the client list of Dongming Sect that records weapon transactions! Dongming Sect is a weapon foundry located in Ryukyu. They are good at making military weapons and armor. Many forces in the Middle Earth have done business with them, including Li Yuan!"

"Then Li Yuan had the intention of rebellion for a long time!"

"The court officials were secretly accumulating military preparations, not necessarily for the purpose of rebellion, but also to prepare for a rainy day! But once the account books were stolen and presented to the emperor, it would be evidence of rebellion. Li Yuan was worried that his clan would be exterminated by the emperor, so he was forced to start a rebellion!"

"The Dongming Sect is so careless that its core account books have been leaked. Why are there so many people doing business with them?"

Huang Sixi recalled that a few months ago, when he had just learned about the "Jianghuai Edict" and the "Donghai Order", Zhai Jiao had said that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were being hunted down by the Dongming Sect with a bounty on their heads.

In order to find these two people, the Dongming Sect even took out the sect's treasure, the Dongming Sword, as a bounty. This must be related to the theft of the account book.

Song Yuzhi replied: "It seems that the leader of the Dongming Sect, Shan Meixian, has a personal relationship with Li Yuan, so he ordered weapons from them! After the account book was stolen, Li Yuan did not blame Shan Meixian! In June, Li Yuan appointed himself as the general, Pei Ji as the chief secretary, Liu Wenjing as the military commander, and his eldest son Li Jiancheng and second son Li Shimin as the chief and deputy commanders of the Li army, thus establishing the central government!"

"Where has Li Yuan's army attacked so far?"

"Li Yuan just swore an oath in Jinyang earlier this month and officially launched his army! They are preparing to attack Guanzhong. With their current military strength, they won't be able to take it down in a year! But they have pledged their loyalty to the Turks and borrowed their troops. It is estimated that they will become the leading overlord in the north in a few months!"

When Huang Sixi heard this, he felt that Song Yuzhi underestimated Li Yuan's army.

The reason why Li Yuan contacted the Turks was just a temporary measure. He did not want to be cut off from behind by the Turks on the way to attacking the Sui court, so he surrendered and showed weakness.

Therefore, Li Yuan's own military strength was enough to conquer Guanzhong and occupy Chang'an.

Song Yuzhi was a member of a prominent Han Chinese family in China, and he hated the couplet Hu very much.

She also revealed her personal feelings to Huang Sixi: "Li Yuan shamelessly offered his allegiance to the Turkic Shibi Khan, and even promised to give his children and treasures obtained from the conquest of Guanzhong to the Turks. This is really disgusting."

Huang Sixi said: "In every war, there will always be people who let wolves into the house. This is not surprising!"

Song Yuzhi pursed his lips and said, "They themselves are wolves, so how can they let wolves into the house? Li Yuan's wife is a Hu woman from the Xianbei tribe. Although she is not as good as the Yuwen clan, she is not much better!"

Huang Sixi did not talk much about this topic.

At this time, the two had already entered Jianglongyuan. Huang Sixi invited Song Yuzhi to visit the environment inside the courtyard. When they arrived at the Yufengdian School, Du Shiniang came over and knelt down to Song Yuzhi.

Du Shiniang was one of the twenty or so girls trafficked by the Iron Cavalry Society and was rescued by Song Yu.

Although Du Shiniang knew that Song Yuzhi's rescue operation was commissioned by Huang Sixi, she was still grateful to Song Yuzhi.

Seeing this, Huang Sixi asked Du Shiniang to make tea and entertain Song Yuzhi together.

When the two men finished visiting Jianglongyuan and returned to the bamboo house where Huang Sixi lived, Zhai Jiao and Du Silang also led the students to march back.

Huang Sixi called Zhai Jiao and Du Silang to his side, informed them of his upcoming journey, and arranged all matters.

From the first day of the establishment of Jianglongyuan, Huang Sixi has been cultivating students' independent abilities. He only needs to leave a batch of new books and let the students study on their own while he is away. He does not have to worry about the rest, as the students will solve the problems they encounter by themselves.

Rest for one night in Jianglongyuan.

The next morning Huang Sixi and Song Yuzhi left together.

Hundreds of students came together to see him off. Seeing that the dean was leaving and not knowing when he would return, they all burst into tears.

Huang Sixi finally called Zhai Jiao and Du Silang and told them: "You will not encounter any accidents when living in the mountains. If an enemy attack really occurs, fight if you can, and run if you can't!
As long as the person is still alive, the academy can be rebuilt in the future, and hatred can be avenged again. If the person dies, then there will be nothing left!"

Du Silang said solemnly: "Silang will remember your instructions!"

Zhai Jiao looked worried and asked hesitantly, "Brother Haohan, the Wagang Army has occupied Xingluo Granary, which is near Luoyang. If the Wagang Army breaks through Luoyang in the future, will my father be in danger?"

She heard Song Yuzhi mention that Li Mi's power was growing, and her father had become a thorn in Li Mi's side, so a fight between the two was inevitable.

Huang Sixi did not answer: "Li Mi's determination to take sole control of Wagangzhai will not be changed by anyone or anything! Your father had expected this day to come when he asked you to live in seclusion in Jiangnan!
As long as you keep yourself safe, your father won't have to worry about what to do! As for where to go, you decide for yourself!"

Zhai Jiao was worried about Zhai Rang. While Huang Sixi was away, Zhai Jiao might leave Jianglongyuan and return to Wagangzhai.

But Huang Sixi would not interfere with Zhai Jiao's behavior. After he finished speaking, he rode away.

After they left the Qianligang Mountains, Song Yuzhi asked in confusion, "Since Mr. Huang accepted Zhai Rang's daughter as his student, why didn't he send her back to Wagang Village to take charge of the Wagang Army?"

What Song Yuzhi meant was to get rid of Li Mi and fully support Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang had no son and only one daughter, Zhai Jiao. In the future, Zhai Jiao would definitely be able to control the Wagang Army and then occupy Xingluo Cang.

Huang Sixi said, "I will not interfere in the internal disputes of these forces. Besides, most of the generals in Wagangzhai are from humble backgrounds. They will join the powerful families whenever they have the chance. As long as Li Yuan's army arrives at Luoyang in the future, these generals will surrender!"

Song Yuzhi frowned and asked, "Does Mr. Huang think that the Li family can seize the world?"

Huang Sixi casually replied: "Only the Li family has all the conditions to seize the world, the other forces are insufficient. The Li family has a hereditary noble background, so it is naturally sought after by officials!
If we must change the emperor, the Li family is in the interests of all officials, so there is nothing to be optimistic about! "

Song Yuzhi said nothing more. The Song family also had shortcomings compared to the Li family.

The influence of the Song clique was only in the south. After the turmoil of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the north was mostly inhabited by a mixture of Hu and Han people. It was extremely difficult for the Song clique to control the north by using the south.

But it would be easy for the Li clan to control the south with the north, because the Yang clan of the Sui court had already made a strategy of controlling the south with the north, and the Li clan only needed to copy it.

Including the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan, none of them have as obvious advantages as the Li clan. Now that the Li clan has risen up, the possibility of them seizing the world is very high.

When Song Yuzhi thought of this, she couldn't help feeling depressed, but when she looked at the little magic dragon on Huang Sixi's shoulder, she suddenly felt excited.

She thought to herself: "No matter how strong the Li family is, even if all the officials and noble families in the world support the Li family, what can they do? They are simply not as good as Mr. Huang's true dragon! If Mr. Huang is willing to fight for supremacy in the world, he will be the true dragon emperor, and all the advantages of the Li family will be gone!"

She couldn't help but suggest to Huang Sixi: "Mr. Huang, why don't you use the name of Senior Long'er..."

Huang Sixi interrupted her directly: "Do you want Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to mobilize all the troops in the world to besiege me?"

If Yang Guang knew that Huang Sixi had raised a dragon and was using the dragon to compete for hegemony, he would definitely withdraw all the troops that were encircling and suppressing the Wagang Army, Jianghuai Army and other rebel forces, and go crazy to hunt down Huang Sixi.

Song Yuzhi calmed down immediately: "Yuzhi was in a state of disorder just now, so I didn't think it through. Don't blame me, Mr. Huang!"

She originally couldn't guess whether Huang Sixi had the intention to dominate the world, but now after listening to what Huang Sixi said, if the Sui Dynasty collapsed, Huang Sixi might not sit idly by and watch the Li family ascend to the supreme throne.

She would wait and see.

In order to keep her trip secret, she did not bring any guards with her.

This time, only she and Huang Sixi were traveling north.

A few days later, the two arrived at the south bank of the Yangtze River and stopped on a mountain on the shore.

Standing on the top of the peak at night, you can see the lights of Liyang City on the opposite bank.

Liyang City is also the center of the Jianghuai Army. Currently, Du Fuwei and Qu Ao are both staying in Liyang City.

Before the assassination attempt, Song Yuzhi told Huang Sixi about the situation of the Yuwen clan's fleet.

"The leader of the Yuwen clan who led the fleet westward this time is Yuwen Shi, who is the third most important person in the Yuwen clan! The two most powerful people in the Yuwen clan are Yuwen Shang and Yuwen Shu. Currently, Yuwen Shu has passed away due to illness, and Yuwen Shang has succeeded him as the clan leader!
But Yuwen Shang devoted himself to martial arts. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he never set foot in officialdom. He had two sons, Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi. The two sons, together with Yuwen Shi and Yuwen Shu's son Yuwen Huaji, were known as the four great masters of the Yuwen clan! "
