Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Just like Huang Rong, who is now on Peach Blossom Island.

But he couldn't stay on Peach Blossom Island for long; he was never home, just playing around.

Even the Mo family made several trips and got along well with Li Ji and Xue Nu.

Jing Tianming has now achieved success in body refinement and is showing a tendency to develop a physique similar to that of the butcher.

Li Ji felt heartbroken watching this and wanted to tell Tianming to stop practicing that technique.

But Tianming refused. He had been beaten so much when he was a child, how could he give up halfway?

He's chubby now, but he's the kind of chubby that's adorable.

In the Mohist school, he was quite popular with girls.

That's why, although Li Ji was anxious, she wasn't in a rush.

The top floor of Tianxin Pavilion in Chang'an City.

Lin Zhu appeared here.

Upon seeing him, Shang Xiufang could no longer suppress her longing and threw herself into his arms, saying, "Little brother, you've finally come to see your sister."

Lin Zhu hugged her back and kissed her forehead, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, sister."

The two cuddled for quite some time, moving from the living room to the bedroom, and finally lay down in the same bed.

Shang Xiufang was still unconscious, but her body was still sticky, and she asked in a sticky tone, "Why do you have time to come see your sister today?"

Lin Zhu reached out and took out the horned zither, saying, "I almost forgot, sister, do you like it?"

"What is this?" Shang Xiufang stretched her jade-like arm out from under the quilt and sat up.

Lin Zhu's eyes were also fixed on him, even though he had seen it several times before.

But she didn't stop talking, saying, "Sister, why don't you try it and see if it works?"

Chapter 608 Eighteen Sons

Shang Xiufang lowered her head, pulled the quilt up a bit, rustled for a while, and then got dressed and got out of bed.

"Then please give your guidance, little brother."

As the zither music began, she didn't use a single bit of her true energy; the sound waves automatically spread out of Tianxin Pavilion.

A beautiful melody of flowing water and towering mountains is so captivating that one lingers there, reluctant to leave.

Even Lin Zhu couldn't help but get immersed in it.

Outside Tianxin Pavilion, the streets of Chang'an suddenly fell silent, as if time had stood still.

The last note fell.

After a long silence, Shang Xiufang said, "Little brother, this horned zither is very precious, isn't it?"

"Not bad!" Lin Zhu stepped forward, grabbed Shang Xiufang's hand, and gently touched her finger. Bright red blood flowed out and dripped onto the horned zither.

Shang Xiufang did not resist, but looked at Lin Zhu with a smile.

Before long, the blood test was completed.

Lin Zhu said, "This is a zither made by fusing the materials of two Mahayana ferocious beasts with the dragon horn eight-string zither. It will grow to the level of a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon in the future. I hope you don't mind, sister."

Shang Xiufang shook her head, "The things my brother gave me are very good, how could I, as his sister, complain?"

She ignored Qiujiaoqin and hugged Linzhu again, "This time, will you spend more time with me?"

Lin Zhu nodded in agreement; the request was too small.

At this time, war had already begun in China.

The Northern Sui Dynasty was gone, and its territory had been reclaimed by the imperial court.

Yang Guang was struck down by bad luck and died a rather ugly death.

Fortunately, his sons were sensible and were escorted to the capital. Except for not being allowed to leave the capital, they received almost the same treatment as princes.

The eldest son, Yang Zhao, was enfeoffed as the King of Northern Jin, while the other sons were made marquises.

The capital city is big enough for them to have fun.

Later, Yue Fei led his troops to the northern desert and found that black soil.

After investigation by farmers, it was indeed found that this black soil was fertile and suitable for planting.

A land grab began.

The original inhabitants living on this black soil were still quite primitive. Under the influence of sugar-coated bullets, they happily became subjects of the Great Zhou and helped the Great Zhou cultivate this black soil.

At the same time, millions of people were mobilized from Shandong Province to enter the Northeast region this spring.

Many of these were disciples of the Mohist school, who developed numerous farming tools and built houses that could provide warmth in winter.

Once everything is ready, I believe that within ten years this region will become the granary of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou royal family acted too quickly. Although Ying Zheng also knew about the news from the Black Soil region, he was too far away to arrive in time.

At this time, the Zhou Dynasty was also very powerful. Before the Zhou Dynasty attacked the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng felt that it was best to remain inactive.

However, given the previous attack by the Northern Yuan, he couldn't possibly let it go unpunished.

He sent troops to seize a lot of lush grasslands, intending to use them as ranches to develop animal husbandry.

At the same time, the Gongshu family was dispatched to establish cities on the grasslands and station troops there.

Seeing his territory being invaded, Temujin could not stand it and sent troops to fight against the Qin Dynasty several times, but he was never able to win.

After those battles, the cities established by the Qin Dynasty were able to gain a foothold on the grasslands.

Deep within the Qin King's palace, two old men were playing chess.

One was menacing, the other was haphazard and incoherent.

"Prime Minister Lü, your strategy of exchanging land for trade was indeed excellent."

"Lord Wu'an, you flatter me." Lü Buwei placed his piece. "It was merely to stabilize the fortunes of my Great Qin. Who would have thought that there would be such fertile land in that harsh northeastern region, and that the dynasty's fate was not yet over?"

Bai Qi sighed, "That's true. Developing that region would be a good thing for the whole world, but unfortunately it would be detrimental to our Great Qin."

Lü Buwei laughed and said, "It's alright. Now, the Qin, Ming, Han, Chu and Song dynasties have gained momentum and are showing signs of uniting. The Zhou dynasty will not dare to make any rash moves."

"That's right, let's see whose luck lasts longer." Bai Qi made a move, cutting off Lü Buwei's large group of stones.

"Wait, when did you set this up?"

As Lü Buwei watched his white pieces being taken away one by one on the chessboard, his eyelids twitched.

Bai Qi laughed twice. "All's fair in war."

At this time, in Taiyuan and the capital, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin all fell seriously ill and none of them recovered.

The cause and source of the disease are unknown.

However, after Yang Zhao and his companions entered the capital, their health improved significantly, and they became even more energetic.

I feel like my mind is blank, as if something has left my soul.

Ying Zheng also felt a little unwell those few days, but unlike Li Shimin and his family, he only had a slight headache.

Xiang Yu, Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, and Liu Shan were in the same boat; they felt they had lost something, but were now more at ease.

Only Song Que and Zhu Yuanzhang are still doing well.

I really don't know why.

On the streets of Chang'an, Shang Xiufang walked arm in arm with Lin Zhu.

Handsome men and beautiful women, don't get too much attention.

"Isn't this Master Shang? What brings you here?"

A slightly overweight young man saw Shang Xiufang and strode over to greet her.

Although he was chubby, he looked somewhat endearing and had a clean, innocent look in his eyes.

"So it is Prince Huhai. This humble woman greets you, sir."

Shang Xiufang recognized the person as Hu Hai, another son of Ying Zheng, who had a good reputation in recent years.

Lin Zhu was stunned. Could this person in front of him really be Hu Hai? Was he mistaken?

Hu Hai returned the greeting and looked at Lin Zhu, asking, "And who is this young master?"

Shang Xiufang said, "This is my younger brother, Lin Zhu."

Hu Hai chuckled and said, "It is indeed the same name as that Heavenly King Lin."

Although he really wanted to beat Hu Hai up, the guy in front of him hadn't done anything wrong, and he couldn't just beat someone up for no reason.

That would be extremely unreasonable.

He always felt that Hu Hai in front of him was very good at pretending, and that his heart was not as pure and harmless as he appeared on the surface, so he kept his eyes fixed on him.

Hu Hai felt a chill run down his spine from the look in her eyes and asked, "Young Master Lin, is there something wrong with me?"

Lin Zhu shook his head, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I have heard of your reputation, young master, but this is the first time we have met. I apologize for my rudeness."

"Hehehe, it's alright!" Hu Hai's smile was憨憨地 (honest and simple). 'I have a feeling something's off about this guy. Could it be that I've been caught?'

He had always coveted the throne of Qin. Seeing that Fusu was weak and kind to his brothers, he harbored thoughts of taking his place. Therefore, he kept his true self hidden.

Over the years, although his reputation is not as good as Fusu's, he has not had any bad reputation either.

Although they did a lot of dirty work in secret, I didn't handle any of it myself.

At this time, in the Qin palace, Ying Zheng had already received a message from the Black Ice Platform.

He looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, the Heavenly King Protector of the Nation is in Chang'an. Go and invite him to the palace to have a talk with me."

Fusu's eyes lit up, but he didn't act rudely. He stepped forward from the side and respectfully said, "Yes, Father!"

Before long, a procession set off from the Qin Palace and quickly arrived in Chang'an.

Just as Lin Zhu was about to test Hu Hai, he heard the sound of horses' hooves rise and fall.

A cavalry unit galloped along the official road at great speed, yet did not injure a single person.
