Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 179 Brother, I Miss You So Much (Fourth Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
Sun Yanwan had never heard of this person before, so she asked, "He has such a powerful background? Why would he want to get involved with these rebels?"

Wu Zhi interjected, saying, "If this is the man, even I've heard of him. He's not a good person, is he?"

"After completing his apprenticeship, he returned home and remained in seclusion for several years. After his parents passed away, for some unknown reason, he spent all his family wealth and formed a group of men, calling them the Chongtian Army. He called himself Chongtian King Zhang Hai and recruited an accomplice, known as Chedi King Guo Shan, to start a rebellion."

Sun Yanwan complained, "That doesn't sound like a real name!"

Lu Shuangfeng replied, "How could he possibly use his real name? Even the old immortal from Youjian Villa was forced by this disciple to publicly declare that he had never accepted him as his disciple. It was this person who secretly stole the villa's sword manual."

Sun Yanwan said, "Isn't this just trying to cover up one's mistakes and steal the bell?"

Lu Shuangfeng sighed and said, "If I were Immortal Mu, I would also have a headache."

Sun Yanwan said, "It turns out this rebellion was orchestrated by this person."

"Well, this matter has nothing to do with us. We'll just pay some food and go over there quickly."

"However, we must declare to the public that this was looted by this person, and that this batch of grain is for the people who have been rebellious at the front."

Although not all martial artists and heroes are good people, Sun Yanwan trusts Chongtian Wang Zhang Hai more than the local government. He can at least give food to the people. If he really gives it to the government, it may not be certain.

Sun Yanwan arranged Yuchi Han to do this, focusing on one person and trying to make everyone a nest of grasshoppers. Once exposed, no one can escape the law.

Yuchi Han had no choice but to do his job obediently, even paying for the food. In order to prove Yuchi Han's identity as an accomplice, Sun Yanwan promised to return the money to him when she returned to Luojing.

Sun Yanwan was planning to find a reason to have a bet while everyone was drinking, and lose the money to Yuchi Han...

In this way, it became Yuchi Han's sole responsibility to buy food for the rebel army, and he definitely could not turn himself in to report it.

Zhang Hai led the army back to the camp, took off his shirt, revealing his strong chest, and took a bowl of water to drink.

Sun Yanwan agreed and bought him a batch of food, which alleviated his urgent need. He then had the confidence to slowly take these people away.

A towering figure approached. It was Zhang Hai's partner, Chedi King Guo Shan. He whispered, "News has arrived from Luojing that Master Kongchan has included your name in the list of candidates for the battle for the cauldron. If you can win this battle, you can capture a large city in the north, giving our Chongtian Army a territory."

Zhang Hai said with some distress, "So it's so difficult to rebel! I've worked hard for years, but I still don't have a stable territory. The Chongtian Army is roaming everywhere, the number of people is increasing, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. This time, I must win the battle for the tripod."

"But, that Sun Yanwan is very interesting!"

"They saw at a glance that we were short of food and even agreed to send us a batch of grain. If the court were filled with officials like this, why would we rebel?"

King Guo Shan of Chedi was speechless. He just felt that his senior brother rebelled purely out of momentary passion and could not bear to see the suffering of the people in his hometown. But now it was too late to end it. Winning a city in the battle for the tripod was the only chance for their Chongtian Army.

Sun Yanwan handed over the "protection grain", safely passed through the rebellious area, and headed straight for Chaozhou.

He traveled day and night, but before he reached Chaozhou, he met Han Shi, who was anxious to return to the court, and picked him up halfway.

Han Shi was indeed a great scholar. He only brought seven or eight servants with him and followed a caravan of escorts. He walked slowly. When he saw Sun Yanwan, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is it Sun Erlang, the Half-Poetry Clam?"

Sun Yanwan heard this nickname twice in a row. If she hadn't known that the person in front of her was a leader in the literary world and a prominent figure in Dalang, she really wouldn't have been able to bear it.

However, he was also secretly horrified. How could this half-finished nickname spread so far?

Zhang Hai fought all over the world and was well-informed, so it was not surprising that he knew about it. But Han Shi was far away in Chaozhou, so how could he know about it?

Sun Yanwan asked rudely, "How did Lord Han know such a derogatory nickname?" Han Shi laughed and said, "The emperor gave me the nickname he had chosen, so how could I not know it?"

Sun Yanwan suddenly wanted to rebel with Zhang Hai.

What the hell is this dog emperor?

Fortunately, after picking up the person, they could return slowly. Han Shi also settled the money with the escort agency and followed Sun Yanwan back to Luojing.

The journey back to Luojing was safe and sound.

After entering Luojing, there was something that made Sun Yanwan very happy.

Zhang Qingxi accompanied Han Shi's daughter, the little Taoist nun who followed Concubine Su, to personally welcome Han Shi at the city gate. Sun Yanwan was overjoyed to see the eldest brother and shouted, "Senior brother, I missed you so much."

Zhang Qingxi also smiled slightly and said, "I miss you too."

"But Second Junior Brother's life is truly colorful. I envy him greatly."

He pointed to the young Taoist nun next to him and said, "This is the daughter of Han Shigong, and your future sister-in-law. Thanks to you for escorting her all the way, your sister-in-law is very grateful."

Sun Yanwan hadn't expected that this little nun would have such a profound background. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Sun Yanwan greets Junior Sister-in-law."

The little nun blushed slightly and whispered, "Go see my father quickly."

When the three of them arrived in front of the carriage, Han Shi had already gotten off and said, "I dare not trouble the Fourth Prince to welcome this old minister."

Han's eyes were filled with tears and she rushed over sobbing.

Sun Yanwan didn't dare to disturb the atmosphere, so she stepped aside and said to Yu Chihan, "From now on, you are also a member of the Fourth Prince's party."

Yuchi Han's face froze. When he went to greet Han Shi, he really didn't think about this. At that time, he just wanted to please Sun Yanwan on the way, and it would be best if he could resolve the small rift between him and the Nan Meng family, so that he could gain great benefits.

He was a serious playboy and a member of the noble party. He never thought of interfering in the affairs of the court.

Sun Yanwan accompanied his eldest brother and sent Han Shi to the inn. How this great scholar would be appointed as an official still had to wait for the emperor's order, so he could not go home for the time being. Zhang Qingxi left Han Youniang to accompany his father and left with Sun Yanwan.

Sun Yanwan finally got to see the senior brother and had a lot of things to say, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Qingxi smiled slightly and said, "Soon, we brothers will be able to see each other every day!"

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed and asked, "Can I go find my senior brother anytime?"

Zhang Qingxi shook his head and said, "I will participate in the battle for the tripod, and you, Second Junior Brother, will serve as the ceremonial officer who presides over this battle with Master Kongchan."

"I don't know which one of Beiyan's opponents is my opponent."

Sun Yanwan had never expected that his eldest brother, a prince, would actually join the battle. A surge of pride filled his heart, and he shouted, "Elder brother will surely triumph. I bet those barbarians from Northern Yan are no match for you, Master."

"By the way, Master recently completed a set of exercises that are quite effective in healing injuries. Big Brother, if you have nothing to do, you can practice them. If you get injured, you will recover faster."

Zhang Qingxi chuckled and said, "Withering Glory? Master... has already given it to me."
