Chapter 749 A Scholar's Visit at Midnight, Traitors in the Court
In the end, everyone nodded in agreement with Chu Danqing's solution.
As for the reward, Wang Jie'an offered Chu Danqing his family's martial arts skills as payment.
Chu Danqing strongly suspected that Wang Jie'an had already sent it many times.
After all, martial arts manuals aren't something you can just copy once; you can make multiple copies.
Chu Danqing accepted it because it was a skill of unknown quality.
[Skill Book: Starfall and Moonfall Blade]
[Type: Inherited Skills]
【quality:? ? ? 】
【Effect:???】
Learning requirements: ???
Chu Danqing quickly flipped through the book and, with the memories brought by his identity as the senior disciple of the Fengyang Sect, determined that the quality of this inherited skill should be at level 4.
Wang Jie'an was not a great master, so the quality of the martial arts manuals he practiced was naturally limited.
However, it's certainly enough to give as a gift.
For Chu Danqing, this was just right; he could sell it after returning home.
Fortunately, this skill is at level 4, while his level 3 skill allows him to sell it for its maximum value.
As for the martial arts of the Fengyang Sect? Forget about it, they're only at the third level and considered average.
The apostles had to have it notarized before they copied it down and sold it in the market.
The notarization fee for skills or knowledge items that can be traded can be quite high, possibly even more expensive than the skill itself.
You can sell it without notarization, but whether anyone will buy it is another matter entirely.
Anyway, Chu Danqing would not buy something without any guarantee, especially since she wouldn't be able to practice it even if she did.
To put it simply, he hasn't cultivated the organs or specific spirit and soul to achieve a certain level of artistic conception.
Do you really think that requiring prior skill learning is just to make things difficult for the apostles?
Rather, it was to enable the apostles to better master the power of different systems from different worlds.
In reality, it was to protect the safety of the apostles.
After obtaining the martial arts manual, on the third night, Wang Jie'an noticed that Chu Danqing hadn't made any move, so he asked Chu Danqing what his plan was.
“I have a friend who’s keeping an eye on Oirat Khan, so I’ll ask him where he is,” Chu Danqing said.
Elong went to check the line that the War Territory provided to the War Disciples. Judging by his efficiency, he probably has already become a core member of the Oirat Royal Court.
Perhaps Cretaceous Dragon's social anxiety makes him tongue-tied, but that doesn't mean his fists aren't.
[Erlong: We should arrive in Shenhua Capital by tomorrow afternoon, but the Emperor and Wen Kang have run away. They were rescued by Zhong Lei and a pretty boy.]
[Akelp Dragon: It's probably heading towards Shenhua. Keep an eye on things.]
If it were before, these two wouldn't have been able to save anyone.
It was killed by the Cretaceous Dragon as soon as it showed any signs of life.
However, since Chu Danqing was keeping an eye on this line, he was afraid that killing someone would affect the progress of the mission.
After all, the clues that come with the game at the start should at least give the amusement park some face.
[Silent Poetry: Okay, I understand]
Chu Danqing responded with a strange expression.
"You have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Chu Danqing asked.
Although Wang Jie'an didn't know why Chu Danqing suddenly said that, he still said, "Let me tell you the bad news first."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Oirat army should arrive by tomorrow afternoon," Chu Danqing said.
Wang Jie'an remained calm. He was not without intelligence channels, and given his deep understanding of military strategy, he naturally had his own guesses.
"With Young Master Chu's help, this matter is unlikely to amount to much," Wang Jie'an said without concern.
The solution is simple: send Chu Danqing to capture the leader first, either by capturing or killing the Khan, and then force him to retreat.
"The good news is that your emperor has been rescued," Chu Danqing added.
This time, Wang Jie'an was moved.
The loss of Emperor Jin had indeed caused him to lose his appetite and sleep.
The problem is that they can't rescue them.
It's easy to charge into a massive army, but the experts of the Woyila are no pushovers.
Not to mention the powerful Oirat Khan, who was no less formidable than Emperor Jin.
The chances of them being rescued are extremely slim.
"Was it your friend who saved you, young hero?" Wang Jie'an asked hurriedly.
These are truly talented individuals; we must find a way to bring them all into the imperial court.
"No, it's more of a comparison." Chu Danqing was speaking when Da Bao tugged at her sleeve.
"Xiao Chu, someone's here," Da Bao warned.
Upon hearing this, Guo Ming paused slightly, carefully sensed the situation, and said, "That's right, he climbed over the wall into the mansion. Judging from his route, he should be in our study."
“The target is clear, it should be you.” Guo Ming said, looking at Wang Jie’an: “That scholar from before.”
The newcomers were quick; they had barely finished speaking when a figure arrived outside the study.
Then came the knocking on the door.
Da Bao, who was standing nearby, simply opened the door.
The scholar was taken aback when he opened the door and saw the people in the study.
He never expected to meet Chu Danqing here.
He then cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Minister Wang."
"Young hero, please come in." Wang Jie'an also stood up to greet him. The scholar entered the study and nodded to Chu Danqing, Guo Ming, and Da Bao as a greeting.
"Young hero, what brings you here so late at night?" Wang Jie'an asked bluntly.
"Yes." The scholar's expression turned serious, and he said, "This matter..."
It roughly tells the story of how he learned of Emperor Jin's capture and how he rescued him.
“We have now settled him at Lingshan Manor. His Majesty’s injuries are quite serious, so please send someone to meet him,” the scholar said immediately.
Chu Danqing keenly sensed something amiss in the scholar's words.
He could clearly tell that the other person seemed to be going to use a derogatory term, but he insisted on changing it.
Wang Jie'an was unaware of this, because the other party's attention was entirely focused on Emperor Jin.
When he heard about Lingshan Manor, he frowned: "Going to Lingshan Manor, that was Wen Kang's idea, wasn't it?"
"Indeed, how did you know, sir?" The scholar was also puzzled, as he hadn't mentioned this matter.
Wang Jie'an sighed, "If we want to return to the capital, going to Lingshan Manor is a detour."
"The reason I thought of him is naturally because Lingshan Manor is Wen Kang's hometown."
"This thief is truly unable to distinguish between what is important and what is not," Wang Jie'an said, his tone filled with helplessness and anger.
Wen Kang was furious, but Emperor Jin was helpless because he believed it.
After all, Wen Kang dared not change his course without Emperor Jin's approval.
"Wen Kang is still alive?" Chu Danqing asked in surprise. "Zhong Lei didn't kill him?"
The idea that Wen Kang was rescued along with the others was already quite abstract, but the fact that he wasn't killed on the way was even more abstract.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jie'an also had a strange expression; he was actually hoping that Zhong Lei would take action.
The scholar, on the contrary, seemed a bit puzzled: "Does Lei Mei have a grudge against him?"
"You don't know?" Chu Danqing retorted.
The scholar looked completely bewildered.
"That's quite good." Chu Danqing smiled. "I suppose Zhong Lei sent you to deliver the message, and she's keeping them around to 'protect' these two."
"Exactly." The scholar nodded, somewhat bewildered.
"Alright then, it's good to get rid of one troublemaker." Chu Danqing said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, Wen Kang is doomed. By the time you go to rescue him, he'll probably be scattered all over the place."
Wang Jie'an seemed to be deep in thought.
With Wen Kang dead, there were no longer any obstacles for him to do many things in the court.
Emperor Jin would indeed cultivate another person to check him, but for Wang Jie'an, the window of opportunity for cultivation was enough for him to accomplish a great deal.
“I’ve heard a little about Wen Kang,” the scholar continued. “Since he has a grudge against Lei Mei, let him die.”
"Oh, right, there's one more thing," the scholar added, "the army of the Oirat."
Although the message was repeated, Wang Jie'an was still very grateful to the scholar.
"I wonder if it's convenient for you, young hero? Please show me the way." After expressing his gratitude, Wang Jie'an got down to business.
“Of course, but we must travel light, as Lingshan Manor is not close to here.” The scholar continued, “And remember to keep it a secret, and don’t let outsiders know.”
"Before His Majesty fell into a coma, he said that there were treacherous officials in the court who wanted to harm him, which is why his campaign was unsuccessful."
Wang Jie'an wondered, 'Could it be that His Majesty truly knows something?'
The main problem was that it was too much of a coincidence. Emperor Jin left the city at midnight three days ago, and a great battle broke out at dawn.
These words, coupled with his own words, made him think even more.
On the contrary, Chu Danqing almost couldn't hold back.
The "treacherous official" mentioned by Emperor Jin was Wang Jie'an.
It is highly likely that Zhong Lei instructed the scholar to come to Wang Jie'an.
Emperor Jin probably wanted to recover from his injuries before returning to Shenhua Capital, which is why he agreed to stay at Lingshan Manor temporarily.
It's likely that Wang Jie'an took advantage of the situation to make a move.
"Alright, I'll muster the men right away." After saying that, Wang Jie'an looked at Chu Danqing and said, "Young hero, why don't we go together?"
"No, no," Chu Danqing immediately refused, saying, "I need to conserve my energy; I still have to repel the enemy's troops tomorrow."
Chu Danqing's words were reasonable and well-founded, so Wang Jie'an couldn't say anything.
He had no choice but to say, "The three of you should rest well. I will go and fetch you now."
It's alright if you don't want to go; Wang Jie'an naturally won't force you.
He then took the scholar with him and set off.
On the way, the scholar asked with some curiosity, "Minister Wang, what are the backgrounds of those three?"
He didn't ask Zhong Lei, since he had no relation to Chu Danqing and no grudges against her, so he naturally wouldn't pry into her affairs.
But this time, out of curiosity, I asked a question.
Wang Jie'an didn't hide anything and briefly explained his background: "I am a disciple of the Fengyang Sect."
This puzzled the scholar. There didn't seem to be a Fengyang Sect within the territory of Jin Dynasty.
He knew all the famous sects, aristocratic families, martial arts schools, and gangs, whether it was the Jin Dynasty or the Woyi La.
The name Fengyang Sect is quite nice, but it has no reputation whatsoever.
"Could it be some hidden sect?" the scholar asked cautiously.
Wang Jie'an shook his head: "No, it's just a small sect near Yujian Pass."
"As for why I was able to raise three such experts, I don't really know either."
He had intelligence on the Fengyang Sect, but some of it didn't make much sense.
However, Wang Jie'an did not delve too deeply into the matter. They were not enemies, so why bother to ask questions?
