Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

[Finally left. 】

Chen Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wuqing pushing the wheelchair onto the boat of Mantuo Villa.

"Brother Chenliu, is there anything in Murong Bo's tomb?" Wang Yuyan asked.

"I don't know, but I guess if he is not dead, he might have hidden important things in the tomb." Chen Liu said.

Zhuge Zhengwo quickly uncovered numerous pieces of evidence of rebellion within the Murong family's assets in Swallow Valley and Gusu. For example, a vast amount of gold, silver, weapons, and armor was discovered within Swallow Valley, Qingyun Manor, Chixia Manor, Jinfeng Manor, and Xuanshuang Manor, sufficient to arm at least tens of thousands of soldiers. Such a large quantity of weapons and armor was sufficient evidence that the Murong family was planning a rebellion. If not for a rebellion, why would the Murong family secretly purchase so much weapons and armor?

"Uncle Shi!"

"It's Yayu! How have you been these past few days?"

"It's pretty good. The people at Mantuo Villa are very nice and take good care of me."

"That's good."

"By the way, uncle, let's dig up Murong Bo's grave and take a look."

"Digging graves?" Zhuge Zhengwo frowned and said, "Although the Murong family's rebellion is a fact, digging graves is extremely immoral."

"Murong Bo is very likely not dead."

"what?"

"When the news of Murong Bo's death spread, he was young and strong, and he was also a master. What kind of serious illness could have caused him to die?"

Zhuge Zheng was stunned for a moment. He knew Murong Bo had died of illness, and he even knew that Murong Bo could have been murdered or committed suicide. A master master couldn't die of illness, and he simply assumed the Murong family had fabricated an excuse to cover up the truth of Murong Bo's death.

In the past, Murong Bo went to Shaolin Temple to report that Liao Kingdom had sent experts to attack Shaolin Temple on the Double Ninth Festival in order to seize martial arts manuals. Shaolin Temple's Xuan Ci believed it to be true and summoned heroes from all the schools and sects of the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty to intercept and kill them on the way.

During the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Xiao Yuanshan, the chief instructor of the Liao Dynasty's personal army under Empress Shan's command, committed suicide in defiance of his wife's death, breaking his vow to kill Han Chinese. This triggered the Song-Liao War and resulted in the deaths of seventeen of the twenty-one Central Plains masters. Xuan Ci and the surviving Wang Jiantong and others realized they had been tricked and sought out Murong Bo, but found no news. Following Murong Fu's birth, the Murong family had a successor, and news of Murong Bo's death suddenly spread in Yanziwu. Now that the Murong family's rebellion was undeniable, Murong Bo's death became intriguing.

"Dig the grave." Zhuge Zheng also thought that Murong Bo might have faked his death to escape. Of course, he might also be really dead, but even if there was only a slight possibility, he had to confirm it.

Murong Bo's tomb was soon dug up. It was like an underground palace, containing not only various precious burial objects such as jade, pearls, gems, and gold, but also many magical weapons, armor, and hundreds of terracotta warriors.

"This is a burial with the specifications for a king or a prince. The Murong family is now just a martial arts family, but they were buried with the specifications for a king or a prince. It seems that the Murong family's rebellion is true." Zhuge Zhengwo asked the officers and soldiers to guard outside, and then he took the four famous detectives, Wuqing and Lengxue, Zhui Ming, and Tie Shou, into Murong Bo's tomb. He looked at the burial objects in the tomb and said.

Zhuge Zhengwo finally turned his gaze towards the golden nanmu coffin placed in the center and said, "Open the coffin."

"Yes!" Leng Xue and Tie Shou clasped their fists, put on gloves, and walked forward to carefully check if there was any mechanism on the coffin. Only after confirming that there was none did they carefully open Murong Bo's coffin.

Leng Xue glanced into the coffin and said, "Uncle Shi, there's no one inside."

Tieshou reached into the coffin, picked up the book inside, flipped through it, and said, "It's the Shaolin Temple's 72 unique skills. There are only a few dozen books on the Shaolin Temple's 72 unique skills in the coffin."

In fact, after the coffin was opened and it was confirmed that there was no danger, Zhuge Zhenghao, Wuqing and others had already gone forward to take a look.

"Seventy-two unique skills? Hehe! Murong Bo is so capable." Zhuge Zhengwo sneered twice.

Wuqing also picked up a copy of "The Flower Picking Finger" and flipped through it, saying, "Judging from the handwriting in these martial arts manuals, they were written more than ten years ago, when rumors of Murong Bo's death had already spread. But now it seems that Murong Bo's death was almost certainly faked. He might even be hiding in the Shaolin Temple, secretly learning the Shaolin Temple's 72 unique skills."

Chapter 123 Wanted Murong Fu

Zhuge Shenhou not only discovered numerous weapons and armor in the Murong family's possession, but also discovered that Murong Bo was likely not dead, but was hiding in Shaolin Temple to steal the Seventy-Two Secret Skills. Zhuge Zhengwo, fearing no delay, immediately reported this to the Emperor. Furious, the Emperor issued a warrant for the capture of Murong Fu and the Murong family's four generals. He also dispatched Imperial guards to Shaolin Temple to request their assistance in apprehending Murong Bo, who had faked his own death.

After this incident, even if Murong Bo had not been caught, he would certainly not dare to show up in the Song Dynasty for a short time. Murong Fu also completely lost his foothold in the Song Dynasty. After all, he was a rebel. As for where the Murong family would develop in the future, Chenliu had several speculations. One was Xixia, the other was Yuan Dynasty, and it was also possible to go to Ming Dynasty, but the probability was not high. Although the Murong family of Ming Dynasty had always been connected with the Murong family of Song Dynasty, unlike the Murong family of Song Dynasty who had always been committed to restoring the country, the Murong family of Ming Dynasty really wanted to integrate into Ming Dynasty and did not want to restore the country again.

Although the Wang family is related to the Murong family, because it was Wang Yuyan who revealed that Murong Fu "secretly" defected to the Western Xia people and led troops to attack the Beggar Gang, the Wang family was not implicated and even received verbal praise from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. For this reason, the old lady of the Wang family even called Wang Yuyan back to her home to meet her.

Because of Chen Liu's meritorious "guidance," Zhuge Shenhou and Wuqing ignored him and searched the martial arts manuals in Huanshi Water Pavilion, though they were not allowed to take them away. The vast majority of the martial arts in Huanshi Water Pavilion were copied from the Langhuan Jade Cave, with only a small portion collected by the Murong family themselves. The secret compartments of the Murong family manuals, including the Sanhe Finger, Douzhuanxingyi, and Longcheng Sword Technique, were nowhere to be found during the search of the Shenhou Mansion and were also recovered. As for the "returning one's own way" technique, Chen Liu considered it useless. To perform it, one needed to familiarize oneself with numerous martial arts manuals and know the techniques within them. However, such showy techniques were of no use to Chen Liu and offered no additional combat power. Chen Liu's search of the numerous martial arts manuals stemmed from his desire to record as many techniques as possible, thereby deriving the remaining seven moves of the Dugu Nine Swords.

"Are you optimistic about him?" Zhuge Zhengwo glanced at Chen Liu who was flipping through the secret book and asked Wuqing.

Wuqing smiled. She couldn't tell Zhuge Zhengwo about Chen Liu's peculiarity, but that didn't stop her from using her power to befriend Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan so as to maintain a good relationship with them. In the future, if the Shenhou Mansion encountered any difficulties, she could also ask Chen Liu for help.

"Uncle, have you ever seen someone with such a high level of comprehension?" Wuqing turned to look at Zhuge Zhengwo and whispered.

"Never seen it before." Zhuge Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In his quest to record as many martial arts secrets as possible from the Shishui Pavilion, Chen Liu wasn't just reading, he was frantically flipping through them, glancing over each page. Of course, he was just pretending; after all, someone in the Shishui Pavilion was watching him, forbidding him from taking the martial arts secrets.

"I heard that he has been learning martial arts for less than half a year. Half a year ago, he was just an ordinary person without any martial arts skills." Wuqing said in a low voice.

Zhuge Zhengwo nodded slightly and whispered, "Such a person is indeed worth winning over, but are you sure you can bring him into the Divine Marquis Mansion?"

"No."

"You're still trying to win him over without him?"

"I think it would be beneficial for our Divine Marquis Mansion to be on good terms with him."

"You don't like him, do you?"

Wuqing was speechless. Although Chen Liu was very special, it was impossible for her to fall in love with him in such a short time. Moreover, Chen Liu already had a fiancée and several concubines. She did not want to be someone else's concubine. Wuqing said, "He has a fiancée. And his fiancée is not even eighteen years old yet, but she is already a master. It is said that her understanding is also very high."

"That's all you need to know," Zhuge Zhengwo nodded. He had been worried Wuqing might fall for Chen Liu. Although Chen Liu had been humble and polite since they met, his inherent arrogance was completely hidden in Zhuge Shenhou's wise eyes. Furthermore, from Chen Liu's words, Zhuge Shenhou could sense his disdain for imperial power. A man like Chen Liu would never submit to others, nor would he allow his freedom to be restricted. Such a person was either a genius or an idiot, but Chen Liu didn't look like an idiot at all.

After recording a whole day's worth of martial arts secrets and practicing hundreds of martial arts moves in his mind, Chen Liu's brain didn't get any rest for the whole day. When he returned to the courtyard arranged for him by Li Qingluo at Mantuo Villa, Chen Liu's brain was still a little dizzy, so he sat on a recliner and closed his eyes to rest.

A soft body held Chen Liu's head from behind, placed his head on the soft chest, and two slender hands pressed on his head to gently massage him.

Chen Liu looked up and found that it was Mu Nianci who was giving him a massage.

"Thank you very much, Nianci." Chen Liu hugged Mu Nianci's soft body.

[It's good that Huang Rong is gone. Now I can hug her whenever I want and kiss her whenever I want.]

Mu Nianci's face was red, and she felt that her face was so hot that it could burn her hands.

Chen Liu stood up, hugged Mu Nianci, and kissed her, his hand also knowingly finding a place to press on a piece of soft flesh. Mu Nianci moaned, and her mind suddenly became blank. Just as Chen Liu wanted to take a step closer, a pleasant voice came, saying: "Brother Chen Liu is back."

Chen Liu paused, looked up, and saw Wang Yuyan walking in with Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Hong Lingbo, and Lu Wushuang. Mu Nianci was still shy, and being intimate with Chen Liu in front of the other girls was a bit too much for her. She quickly pushed Chen Liu away, covering her face and ran away.

Chen Liu:......

What is going on? Why is it that every time he wants to be intimate with the girls, someone comes to him?

"I'm back." Chen Liu said weakly.

"Brother Chenliu, we have packed our things. When are we leaving?" Wang Yuyan showed a sly smile in her eyes. She, the first wife, had not yet consummated her marriage with Chenliu. If Mu Nianci wanted to cheat on him, it would be impossible.

"The day after tomorrow." Chen Liu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to Yanziwu tomorrow to look for martial arts secrets that are not in Langhuan Jade Cave."

Wang Yuyan had already read and memorized all the martial arts secrets in the Langhuan Jade Cave. Chen Liu didn't need to read them all. He only needed to have Wang Yuyan practice them once when he had time on the road, and Chen Liu's system would record them. This was another system feature: it didn't require any instruction; it would automatically record everything after watching someone practice them once.

"Brother Chen Liu hasn't eaten yet, right? Let's go eat. Brother Chen Liu, do you want to eat here or in the restaurant?"

"Let's do it here." Chen Liu turned around and asked Hong Lingbo, "Has Nianci eaten yet? Go call her."

"Yes, sir." Hong Lingbo bent his knees slightly and turned to go to Mu Nianci's room.

A moment later, Hong Lingbo came back and said, "Master, Sister Yuyan and Sister Nianci said they are not feeling well and will not eat."

Chen Liu was speechless. This wasn't just discomfort; this was clearly embarrassment!

"Then I'll bring some dinner over for Nianci." Chen Liu said.

"Brother Chenliu, let Lingbo go."

Chen Liu:......

Chapter 124: Horseshoe disease in the spring breeze

There are three ways to reach the Ming Dynasty. One is to go north, enter the Yuan Dynasty, and then take a detour from the Yuan Dynasty to enter the Ming Dynasty. One is to pass through the pirate-infested Hengduan Changdao Island and enter the Ming Dynasty. The third is to take a sea ship, first go south, bypass Hengduan Changdao from the southern sea, and enter the Ming Dynasty.

The topography of the Ming Dynasty closely resembles that of the Song, Sui, and Qin dynasties. Of course, as they were once closely related nations, it's hard not to find similarities. This world of martial arts resembles a four-petaled flower. The center is the vast grasslands and snowy plains of the Yuan Dynasty, flanked by smaller states like the Jin, Qing, and Western Liao, as well as nomadic minorities like the Xiongnu, Turks, Qiang, and Yuezhi. The four, remarkably similar petals represent the Qin, Sui, Song, and Ming dynasties. West of the Song Dynasty, at the border with the Sui Dynasty, lies a chaotic land, known to the Song as the Western Regions and the Sui as the Eastern Regions. There are no states there; instead, each martial arts power reigns supreme, such as Xiongba's Xiongba Tianxia and Dugu Jiansheng's Wushuangcheng.

After discussion, Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and Mu Nianci decided to board a ship to the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that the Murong family had been driven out of the Song Dynasty, Li Qingluo hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to quietly head for the Langhuan Blessed Land in Dali, intending to hide there for a while. Whether she went there to hide in the Langhuan Blessed Land or because she couldn't let go of Duan Zhengchun and wanted to rekindle their past relationship remains unknown.

Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, Azhu, and Abi planned to take the Mantuo Villa's boat along the canal to Lin'an Prefecture, and then transfer to a sea boat. On the night of their departure from Mantuo Villa, Chen Liu sneaked into Wang Yuyan's room.

"Brother Chenliu, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I can't sleep, I want to chat with you."

"What does Brother Chen Liu want to talk about?"

"Let's go to bed and talk first."

"Brother Chenliu, what are you doing?"

"I want to hug you."

"We're not married yet."

"What does it matter? We're already engaged."

"Then you can only hug me, you can't move around."

"Don't worry, don't you believe in my character?"

"Brother Chen Liu, didn't you promise me not to move?"

"I'll just touch it, don't worry, I won't move."

"Hey, Brother Chenliu, why did you take off my clothes?"

"I'll just stick to it and won't move around."

"Brother Chen Liu, didn't you say we were just going to stick to each other?"

……

"Oh no! Oops, t-so that's it?"

……

The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the Wang family flowers in one day!

Although Wang Yuyan was a new wife, she was already addicted to it. Moreover, she was a master with strong cultivation and could recover very quickly. One day was definitely not enough.

The next morning, Chen Liu lay on Wang Yuyan's bed, feeling a little listless, catching up on some sleep. Wang Yuyan, however, walked out of the room refreshed and beaming, and instructed, "Abi, Brother Chen Liu is feeling a bit underweight. Go tell the kitchen to make him some more nourishing soup. By the way, do you have any ginseng and tiger whip on board?"

Ah Bi's face looked a little strange and shy. She and Ah Zhu lived next door to Wang Yuyan. They had been listening to the cat meowing all night, and now she was a little tired. "Sister, we have ginseng. We have a 300-year-old mountain ginseng and three 100-200-year-old ginsengs. But we don't have tiger whip."

"Take three hundred years old mountain ginseng and make a pot of ginseng chicken soup for Brother Chenliu. Can you get to Lin'an Prefecture today? If you get to Lin'an Prefecture, ask someone to see if there are any tiger whips. If there are, buy two back." After Wang Yuyan gave A Bi the instructions, she turned around and returned to her room.

Seeing that Chen Liu was still lying on the bed sleeping, Wang Yuyan took off her coat and went back to bed. She squeezed into his arms, hugged him, closed her eyes and dozed off.

"Sister, the ginseng chicken soup is ready." A-Bi ordered the kitchen to cook the ginseng chicken soup, and she personally watched over it. When the chicken soup was ready, she personally carried the chicken soup to Wang Yuyan's room.
