At this point, the martial arts sects that had arrived in Gusu one after another did not dare to move and waited quietly for the opening day to arrive.
At the same time, he secretly marveled at the horror of Song Ting.
In fact, the various martial arts sects were wrong. These soldiers were not from the Song court, but the elite soldiers of Yu Qin summoned by Qin Bin.
There was no other way. If all the martial arts sects were just invited to participate in the event, not much manpower would be needed. However, Xiaobai wanted to hold a martial arts conference, and Murong Fu was unable to control the situation. Qin Bin did not want to handle all the trivial matters by himself, so he summoned some people to continue playing house.
As for the local government, they were actually not sure whether this group of extremely powerful elite soldiers belonged to the Song court. In addition, the Gusu area was almost out of control, and they had to rely on this group of elite soldiers who were difficult to talk to but had strict military discipline to stabilize the situation. So they reported urgently to Bianliang while trying their best to be superficial with these soldiers.
As for Murong Fu, after receiving A-Bi's letter, he did not take it seriously at first, thinking that A-Bi was ignorant and deceived, so he ignored it and continued with his plan to sow discord among the martial arts sects. However, not long after, he also watched "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and realized the seriousness of the matter, so he hurried back to Chanhe Village in secret to find out what was going on.
Chapter 493: Prelude to Farce - Part Two
The reason why Murong Fu had to rush back secretly was also because of the existence of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", which made all the people of Jiangnan Song know that he was a traitor and villain. If he showed up at this time, he would definitely not end well.
After Murong Fu returned to Chanhe Manor, he was bullied by Xiaobai as a matter of course. He soon lost his temper and became Xiaobai's lackey, and prepared for the martial arts conference with all his strength according to Xiaobai's wishes.
Then, Murong Fu was unable to control the situation, and at one point, a "Murong Fu Public Trial" was almost staged in Gusu City. Seeing that Gusu City was about to get out of control, Xiaobai could rely on force to control the situation, but he always felt that that was not enough, so he had to look for Qin Bin who had been studying martial arts.
Qin Bin had actually anticipated this situation a long time ago, and he didn't say anything. He asked Yu Qin's two thousand imperial guards to come and help Xiaobai to make trouble.
Only then was the situation stabilized and the farce allowed to continue.
After a few days, the imperial envoy from the court arrived at full speed. Qin Bin met him and took him to Bianliang to meet Zhao Xu directly.
After the following process, Zhao Xu and the court officials respectfully bid farewell to Qin Bin, and began to adjust the national policy, while waiting for the day to become a member of the Ten Thousand Worlds Group.
Not long after Qin Bin returned to Chanhezhuang from Bianliang, the chief officer of Liangzhe Road and the local army received an urgent imperial edict sent thousands of miles away. The government issued a death order, requiring the civil and military officials of Liangzhe Road to fully cooperate with the new owner of Chanhezhuang in everything.
Up to this point, there was no direct conflict between the Gusu area and the Song army.
As for Qin Bin, the day after he came back from Bianliang, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing also came to find him. After knowing the decision of the two women, Qin Bin was very happy. After all, as long as conditions permit, no man would dislike having too many beautiful women.
However, Qin Bin still focuses his main energy on the study of martial arts. Especially after absorbing the unique martial arts theory of this world, it has very obvious benefits to his path, so he pays more attention to it.
When Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing saw that Qin Bin was not free, they followed Xiaobai to play.
Especially after the two thousand imperial guards of Yu Qin took over the so-called martial arts conference, Xiao Bai was completely liberated, so he took Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing to Xingxiu Sea and captured Xingxiu Old Monster and A Zi. He went to Lingjiu Palace again, but at this time, Tianshan Tonglao had already led people south, so Xiao Bai just took pictures of the stone wall kung fu of Lingjiu Palace. Then he went to Byzantium and searched for all the witchcraft and magic that were unique to this world, etc., just to kill time.
As for A-Bi, A-Zhu, and Wang Yuyan, they were the first group of heroines to watch "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Also because she had read the original novel, Wang Yuyan seemed a little dazed these days.
Wang Yuyan always felt complicated when she saw Murong Fu busying around like a servant. Murong Fu, on the contrary, showed his selfish side and actively called Wang Yuyan "mistress". His attitude was that he wanted to cling to Qin Bin and Xiaobai to avoid being liquidated by the heroes of Gusu City during or after the martial arts conference.
Murong Fu is an arrogant man, but he is not stupid. He knows very well that at this moment, he has no other way to survive except relying on powerful people like Qin Bin and Xiaobai.
Murong Fu did this again and again, and Wang Yuyan was completely disheartened. She then focused on serving as one of the control groups for Qin Bin's martial arts research.
As for Azhu, during this period of time, in addition to acting as Qin Bin's personal maid and taking care of Qin Bin's daily life and diet, she was extremely looking forward to Qiao Feng's visit. This was not because she was obsessed with Qiao Feng's heroism in the book, but she was purely curious about what Qiao Feng in reality was like.
After all, before reading the original novel, Ah Zhu had frequent contact with Qin Bin, and because the two of them got along well, Ah Zhu gradually developed a good impression of him. And because of this first step, after reading the original novel later, Ah Zhu was surprised and moved, but she also became more curious about heroic characters like Qiao Feng.
As for A-Bi, the original novel had basically no influence on her. After all, she had very few roles in the serialized version, and the final ending was just that she returned to her master.
After reading the original novel, she realized that her master (Wuyazi) was still above her and was in danger, so she tried to ask Qin Bin to see if he could save her master. After Qin Bin nodded clearly, A Bi urgently sent a message to her master Kang Guangling, and then Wuyazi led his men to the south.
After doing this, and with Xiaobai's instigation, A Bi put all her heart on Qin Bin, intending to repay his kindness with her own life.
Just like that, the main heroines of the original novel basically fell into Qin Bin's "clutches".
Time slowly came to the end of October in the eighth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were less than twenty days left before leaving the village.
At this time, many heroes gathered in Gusu City, but the public security value was at its highest. After all, those elite Hanjia soldiers would even deal with petty thefts, so who would dare to mess around?
However, at noon that day, there was an uproar in the city.
"That's...Qiao Feng?!"
"It's him. I saw him at the Luoyang Beggars' Clan Conference!"
"He finally showed up. Who is the man in black robe beside him?"
"Do you think it could be that Xiao Yuanshan?"
"Hiss...it's really possible..."
"Hey, those soldiers have gone there, there's something interesting to watch."
When the martial arts masters saw the three patrolling soldiers in Han armor walking towards Qiao Feng and his companions who were leading their horses into the city, they all perked up.
Qiao Feng should have come to Gusu earlier, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanshan halfway. After a fight, Qiao Feng got Xiao Yuanshan's promise that he would no longer attack the Qiao couple and his mentor, and then the father and son officially recognized each other.
Later, Xiao Yuanshan was afraid that Chanhe Manor was a trap, and advised Qiao Feng not to rush to Chanhe Manor, after all, that was Murong Bo's lair.
Qiao Feng was not worried, but because he did not understand the situation in Chanhe Manor, for the sake of caution, he hid with Xiao Yuanshan and observed carefully.
It was not until Murong Fu appeared in public many times and always claimed to be a subordinate that it was confirmed that Chanhe Manor had nothing to do with the Murong family. At the same time, various changes in the government also showed that the new owner of Chanhe Manor had a deeper relationship with the Song court, and it was even less likely that he was related to the Murong family. That's why they had delayed until now to decide to go to Chanhe Manor.
Of course, only Qiao Feng went there. After all, Xiao Yuanshan was not on the list of those allowed to enter early. He didn't want to become a corpse, so he just sent his son to the lake.
However, when he was stopped by three soldiers, Xiao Yuanshan felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Although he could not see through the soldiers' background, he knew how terrifying they were.
Thousands of martial arts masters were intimidated by two thousand soldiers and were completely subdued. For this reason, they were not people that Xiao Yuanshan could afford to provoke.
Qiao Feng stepped forward and saluted, "Three brave men, why did you stop us? I wonder what's the matter?"
The leading soldier also bowed and said, "My lord has ordered that Qiao Feng can take Xiao Yuanshan to Chanhe Manor."
Qiao Feng was stunned and was about to say something, but the three soldiers changed direction and continued their patrol.
Seeing this, Qiao Feng had no choice but to look at Xiao Yuanshan.
Xiao Yuanshan did not hesitate, "Feng'er, your father will go with you."
"Okay." Qiao Feng nodded, and he and Xiao Yuanshan crossed Gusu City and set off for the lake thirty miles west of the city.
During this time, members of the Beggars' Gang, who had arrived in Gusu City a long time ago, came to meet them under the leadership of several elders.
"Gang leader."
Most of the gang members greeted Qiao Feng as the gang leader, which made a man like Qiao Feng unable to help but feel tears in his eyes.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Qiao Feng bowed and said, "My fellow brothers, I will go to Chanhe Manor and then settle all matters with you brothers."
After saying that, he and Xiao Yuanshan strode away in front of the gang members...
Chapter 494: Real Needs - Part
Under the watchful eyes of a group of martial artists, Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan left Gusu City and rode their horses thirty miles west until they saw the ferry.
At this time, there were already boatmen and ferryboats waiting at the ferry terminal.
Qiao Feng went up to inquire and learned that it was the Han-armored soldiers who arranged it, so he boarded the ferry with Xiao Yuanshan.
After passing through a large area of reeds, it didn't take long for Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan to reach the island where Chanhe Manor was located.
At this time, hundreds of craftsmen and servants of the Murong family were building a platform or decorating the open space in front of Chanhe Manor. It was very busy and lively.
Judging from the progress, it will only take a few days for this high platform, which can be used to host martial arts conferences or a fighting arena, to be completed.
After Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan approached, Murong Fu came forward to greet them.
Murong Fu bowed and said, "You two, the host has been waiting for you at the Qinyun Cottage for a long time. Please come this way."
When Qiao Feng saw Murong Fu, he couldn't help but frowned, but he also bowed in return. On the contrary, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but reveal his murderous intent.
Murong Fu's heart froze, but he didn't move. He spread his hands and led the way.
Xiao Yuanshan clenched his fists tightly, but found that two patrolling Han-armored soldiers were looking at this side from afar, so he loosened his fists and followed Murong Fu with Qiao Feng.
Along the way, Qiao Feng saw that there were no servants or soldiers patrolling around, so he asked softly, "Master Murong, who is the master you are talking about?"
As they walked, Murong Fu looked back at Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan before saying, "...I only know that his surname is Qin and his given name is Bin. He has unfathomable powers. Those extremely powerful warriors call him...Your Majesty."
"His Majesty?"
Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan were shocked.
Qiao Feng asked, "Could it be the newly crowned Emperor Song?"
Murong Fu shook his head, "No, I was there when the Emperor of Song sent an envoy to come that day. The envoy was a special envoy from the emperor's court. He looked like he didn't know the master. Later, he went to the backyard with the master and came back half a day later. The envoy treated the master like a god. I also vaguely heard the envoy mention 'The government has issued an order. If you need anything, just send it.' This shows that the master is indeed the emperor of a powerful country, and the Emperor of Song is also afraid of him."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan were also extremely surprised.
Murong Fu continued, "You two, the arena outside is where our grudges will be settled. The mistress promised me that if I go to Leitong on the fifteenth of next month, she will let me go free."
Qiao Feng frowned.
Xiao Yuanshan smiled and said, "Very good, but I wonder where your father is?"
Murong Fu shook his head, "I don't know where he is either. Just like you guys delayed coming until today, I don't think my father would dare to barge into Chanhe Manor."
"Humph." Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly, and said, "I hope your father can come on the 15th of next month, otherwise I will have to pay for my father's debt."
Murong Fu did not answer, but continued to lead the way.
After walking for a while, Qiao Feng suddenly asked, "Master Murong, why did that person allow me to enter the manor early?"
Murong Fu looked back at Qiao Feng with a hint of jealousy, then turned to look forward and said, "I once overheard a conversation between the master and several mistresses, and the master expressed a lot of admiration for you."
When Xiao Yuanshan heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, because if this was true, then this was a great opportunity for his son.
Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled calmly, "It seems that I am favored by that person."
"......" Murong Fu became even more jealous, but quickly calmed down.
Murong Fu has also grown during these days. At the same time, he has also received guidance from that person when they were exploring the way of martial arts, and his strength has greatly improved. He is very confident now that he will make Qiao Feng and his son pay on the fifteenth day of next month.
After that, the two sides stopped talking, walked in silence for a while, and then came to a corridor in the lake.
Looking along the outer corridor, Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan saw an old man and a young man playing chess under a large pavilion in the lake.
Behind the old man was "Mr. Smart and Debatable" Su Xinghe and his eight disciples, also known as the "Eight Friends of Hangu", standing respectfully.
Behind the young man were three beautiful girls.
Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan, who have watched "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", quickly guessed that the old man playing chess must be the current leader of the Xiaoyao Sect - Wuyazi, and the young man Ruyu who played against him must be Qin Bin.
After Murong Fu led Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan through the long outer corridor in the lake and entered the large pavilion, Wang Yuyan stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Cousin, please wait a moment."
"Yes."
Murong Fu responded without looking away, and then stood behind the three women on Qin Bin's side like a servant.
Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan also knew that they should not disturb her, so they bowed and nodded to Wang Yuyan to show that they understood, and then stood quietly watching the game.
After just one look, Qiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Fu could not help but feel dizzy. Only by using their internal energy to calm their minds could they see the chess pieces on the board clearly.
At this moment, Qin Bin made a move and said, "Don't resist, the intention is in your mind."
Qiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Fu paused for a moment, then they understood, relaxed their minds, used their minds to comprehend, and soon entered a very mysterious state.
Wuyazi glanced at Qiao Feng and the other two, made another move, and said, "Do you intend to train them?"
Qin Bin nodded, "After all, they are all children of genius. If they can realize their true selves, they may be able to find a brand new path."
Wuyazi said very directly, "It is wonderful for a prodigal son to return, but there is a saying that it is difficult to change one's nature."
This is a clear accusation against Murong Fu.
Qin Bin said, "Sir, you are right. I am also worried about this, so I have some backup plans."
"It's me, old man Meng Lang. You'll have to take care of it." Wuyazi smiled and continued playing chess with Qin Bin.
After a long while, Qiao Feng was the first to wake up from that mysterious state. His state of mind had greatly improved, and his inner strength had also increased. He bowed to Qin Bin with gratitude.
In response, Qin Bin simply nodded slightly in satisfaction, then waved his hand to signal Qiao Feng to wait aside.
After Qiao Feng bowed again, he continued to watch the chess game with full concentration.
After a while, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Fu woke up one after another. Although both of them had made progress, it was relatively limited. If Qiao Feng gained ten benefits, then Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Fu only barely got one or two.
The reason for this is not that Qin Bin is partial to them, nor that the two lack talent, but simply that they are too obsessed, which affects their self-perfection at the level of "intention".
But even so, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Fu bowed to Qin Bin with great gratitude.
Qin Bin could sense that Xiao Yuanshan was truly grateful, but Murong Fu was not quite so grateful. However, he did not care. Just as he had said before, he had left a backup plan for Murong Fu to ensure that even if Murong Fu reached his current level, life and death would only depend on his decision.
