Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 125 On the Record
In the capital of Dayan, all the civil and military officials discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion that could convince everyone.

And they didn't want to adopt the drawing lots method given by the Four Turns.

"In that case, let's call back all the princesses from all over the country first." Prince Qing said upon seeing this.

The other veteran officials nodded helplessly and decided to call the candidates back as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.

"Most of the princesses are in the capital, only one princess is not in the capital because she is visiting her relatives."

"But he should have received the news by now and is on his way to the city. According to divination, he is currently near Cangren City." An old minister calculated with his fingers.

Prince Qing asked, "In that case, who will escort them?"

"Then let me do it. I have a family elder who happens to be nearby." At this time, a third-rank Tongzhengshi said calmly, attracting the attention of all court officials.

They all knew that Wan Mingxuan was a pure royalist before.

With the death of the emperor and the crown prince, the Wan family suffered the greatest subsequent impact from the reshuffle of power, so they were eager to enter the market and place their bets in advance.

But how come it just happened that there was a person from the Wan family near the princess outside Kyoto?

As if he had seen the gazes of these people, Tongzhengshi Wan Mingxuan explained, "That family has always been following and protecting my useless grandson."

"You are talking about Wan Chenyu, right?" A court official stroked his beard and spoke, "He is so young and yet he is included in the Hidden Dragon List. His future achievements are limitless."

"No, no, my grandson is naughty and needs to be disciplined." Wan Mingxuan said, but he couldn't stop the smile on his lips.

"The old man's soul lamp is still in my body. You can just use it as a medium to communicate with each other." Wan Mingxuan said, and a little ghost fire appeared on his palm.

This performance made the expressions of others change slightly.

The method of soul lamp is almost equivalent to stripping away the origin. If there is the method of witchcraft, it will be easy to find or curse.

Even relatives are reluctant to hand over their soul lamps, so what's the point of you still carrying it with you?
Wan Mingxuan explained: "Don't be surprised, my ministers. My master is not a good person. He once caused some trouble outside. I used a little trick to catch him and made him change his surname. He carries the soul fire with him just in case."

As he was speaking, a civil official stepped forward and took over the soul fire, muttering to himself, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, follow my will and make it manifest quickly."

As the words were spoken, a strange and indescribable aura flashed by, and a water mirror appeared in front of the civil official.

With the help of the water mirror, everyone can see the scene inside, which is an old man and a young man running hurriedly.

As if sensing something, the skinny old man stopped and looked around.

"Uncle Gui, what happened?" Wan Chenyu asked.

"The master is using my soul fire to communicate with me remotely." The old man explained.

Through the mirror, the head of the Wan family ordered: "Gui Xuan, the princess's team is near Cangren City. Go find them, and escort the princess back to the palace with Chen Yu. If anyone tries to stop them, kill them without mercy!"

Hearing the voice, Wan Guixuan and Wan Chenyu said, "We will follow the orders of the patriarch."

Looking at the two people receiving orders in the mirror, the civil official waited for a while and saw that the head of the Wan family no longer gave orders. He was about to disperse the water mirror when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the mirror.

"Uncle Gui, since the head of the family ordered us to stay here, why don't we go and severely humiliate that thief Fang Can first."

There is something fishy!!!
Hearing the voice in the mirror, the entire hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes subconsciously looked towards Wan Mingxuan.

The civil servant who cast the spell subconsciously chose to block the external sound transmission, but he could still see the image in the mirror. Being stared at by the court officials, Wan Mingxuan's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously said: "My grandson is naughty and still a child. What he said was all a joke. Don't take it seriously."

"If my guess is correct, Fang Can should have been number one on the Shenglong Ranking a few days ago." Prince Qing said thoughtfully.

"And didn't Jie Jianshan also offer his guarantee before?" The veteran on the side also spoke up. If it weren't for this reason, Fang Can would have been recruited by him as one of his guards long ago.

'For the record!'

As Wan Chenyu spoke, some court officials silently took note of it.

With the current situation in Dayan, the status of any fourth-turn cultivator is not inferior to the imperial power. According to the news from Jiejian Mountain, Fang Can is considered a registered disciple of the other sect master.

What Wan Chenyu said now was equivalent to saying something detrimental to the prince in public.

It would be fine if they were just fighting in private, but it would not be so easy to stop when it was said in front of so many court officials. Didn’t you see that Wan Mingxuan’s face had turned ashen?

And in the water mirror, facing Wan Chenyu's request, Wan Guixuan raised his hand nervously and said, "Young Master, be careful with your words."

As he spoke, he waited vigilantly for a while. Seeing that there was indeed nothing happening around him, he relaxed, thinking that the owner of the house should have lifted the surveillance.

Wan Guixuan reminded: "Young Master, Jie Jian Mountain is still quite powerful. Please give up as soon as possible and complete the order of the patriarch first."

'For the record!'

"Now that the crown prince is dead and our Wan family has lost power, we should put the family cause first and personal honor second. The master asked us to protect the princess. If you can make friends with her by then, won't you be able to revive the family?"

'For the record!'

Inside the hall, all the civil and military officials looked at Wan Mingxuan with a teasing expression in their eyes.

Although Wan Mingxuan is a third-level strongman after all, he will not be brought down because of a few words, but he will still get into trouble if he doesn't keep his mouth shut.

"Mr. Li, I don't think it's necessary to release them anymore." Wan Mingxuan said gritting his teeth.

Now he was regretting it so much that his intestines turned green. He should not have said that. Whoever wanted to escort the princess could do so. Why was he so mean? His luck was too bad.

"That won't do. This concerns the princess's safety. After all, Yi Zhuan is not from your Wan family and his background is unknown. How can we easily let him escort the princess? We have to watch him all the way." The political enemy on the side fanned the flames.

"Then at least we should give them a reminder. You guys are just standing aside and watching." Wan Mingxuan's face was almost flushed. If he continued to talk nonsense, all nine clans would be implicated.

"Ahem, it's better to give a reminder." Prince Qing at the side spoke to finalize the matter, and then the call between the two sides began.

"Grandson!" In the grove, a voice filled with suppressed anger came from the void, causing Wan Chenyu to stop.

"We all heard what you just said. Come back immediately and let Wan Guixuan escort the princess alone!"

"But……"

"I said get back here! After you finish the competition, you will be punished with 200 blows, face the wall for ten years, and are not allowed to step out of the Wan Mansion."

Following the angry words, Wan Chenyu gritted his teeth and said, "Grandson, obey my orders!"

On the other side, in the market, a thin man wearing glasses was hugging two naked female slaves and asked, "You said Fang Can is in Cangren City?"
