Wandering the Heavens

Just as Mei Changsu and Lin Chen had expected, the second episode of the story of the three nobles creating the martial arts world soon appeared in Jinling. This time, the three of them met by chance to explain a person with a high status in the martial arts world. At the same time, one of them rescued the female doctor and brought her with him, but the flower had intentions but the water was merciless.

However, the Jiangzuo League failed the first time. They only knew that overnight, the whole city of Nanjing was filled with these leaflets, and the quality of the paper used was even better than that used by the emperor. They used all their strength to visit and investigate the surrounding areas of Nanjing, but still found nothing.

Yu Xian, who came from the Jinyiwei, helped Qin Banruo reorganize the organization left by Princess Xuanji. This time, it was Hong Xiuzhao who was in the dark, and all the expenses here were paid by Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Li Gang, do you think there were such people in the Red Flame Army back then?" Mei Changsu's frown was enough to kill a fly.

"Master, it's hard to say." Li Gang shook his head.

In an army of 70,000 people, no one, unless he is a genius, can remember the strengths of all the soldiers.

"What if he is not a member of the Red Flame Army?" Mei Changsu seemed to be talking to himself.

"Master, I think that even if this person is from the Red Flame Army, his status is extremely high. He would not be a middle or lower-level officer or even a soldier. Because he even knows the Marshal's past. If he is not from the Red Flame Army, then it would be even easier to say. He could be an enemy of Liang State, or a traitor of Langya Pavilion." Li Gang said carelessly.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" Mei Changsu found himself being led by a Red Flame Army emblem.

"Master, why do you think this person must be from the Red Flame Army?" Li Gang asked.

"At the scene where Xia Jiang was murdered, and on the huge rock at the entrance of this marquis' mansion, the perpetrators left the symbol of the Red Flame Army." Mei Changsu rolled his eyes at him.

Li Gang is a very qualified deputy and an excellent executor, but he can only execute and has no ideas of his own.

"Brother Su, it's been too boring these days. The palace has issued an order to find a husband for Princess Nihuang. There will be a martial arts competition in Yingfeng Tower. Let's go and see the excitement." Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin walked in swaggeringly.

"Why so sudden?" Mei Changsu secretly winked at Li Gang.

"Suddenly? The news of this matter has been leaked for a long time, and various forces are ready to take action!" Yan Yujin couldn't wait to speak.

"How do you mean?" Mei Changsu asked.

"It's all because of Empress Yan and Imperial Concubine Yue. They both want to consolidate the power of Prince Mu's Mansion, and they make all kinds of troubles every day. Originally, the Emperor was going to slow down the matter because of Xia Jiang's death, but he couldn't stand the two of them talking about it every day, so he issued an edict according to their wishes. There were already rules in place before, so things like the fighting can be done quickly." Xiao Jingrui explained.

"I see. But how can a commoner like me with no identity go to Yingfeng Tower?" Mei Changsu expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, Brother Su. We brothers have a little face in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. If it doesn't work out, we can just say that Brother Su is here to compete in martial arts and ask for the princess' hand in marriage." Yan Yujin said carelessly.

"How can I participate in a martial arts competition to win a wife when I look so sick?" Mei Changsu replied helplessly.

"Anyway, it'll be fine as long as the two of us can get you in!" Yan Yujin said, and then he and Xiao Jingrui carried Mei Changsu out.

The layout of Yingfeng Tower was more like a gladiatorial arena, with tall stands all around. The Ministry of Rites had already arranged seats for watching the competition, and now, except for the reserved seats, all were full of people. In the middle was a three-foot-high arena, with a flat ground paved with blue bricks on the outside. The imperial guards who were responsible for the order of the competition stood with their backs to the arena.

The competition on the arena was in full swing, and the stands were also bustling with activity.

Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing sat together. Her elder sister was very quiet, but Mu Qing was always grimacing with anger, and even pointed at the arena and cursed regardless of his status. These days, she was confined by her elder sister, and she was almost suffocated. Now she finally came to the training ground to see if there were any people who liked the contestants. When she saw all kinds of ugly people, she was so angry that she wanted to flip the table on the spot. Fortunately, Mu Nihuang was watching her from the side and she restrained herself a little.

Soon Mei Changsu and the other two arrived. Under the guidance of the clerks from the Ministry of Rites, they took their seats. During this time, Mei Changsu kept looking casually in the direction of Mu Nihuang.

"Brother Su, are you interested in Princess Nihuang?"

Everyone present knew martial arts, so Mei Changsu's little move could not escape their eyes. Yan Yujin was the most alert, so he started to ask. When they were at the city gate that day, he also noticed the inexplicable atmosphere between Su Zhe and Mu Nihuang.

"I've heard about Princess Nihuang's deeds a long time ago. Now that I get to see her true appearance, I'm just curious," Mei Changsu explained.

"Really?" Yan Yujin thought about it, and when a swordsman was defeated, he flew directly into the arena from the stands.

Seeing Yan Yujin appear on the stage, the Crown Prince and Prince Yu's faces turned grim. They had already made arrangements to let their men with strong martial arts skills defeat the other competitors, and then have them lose to the young masters of the aristocratic families who supported them.

Yan Yujin's father, Yan Que, was the Queen's brother, but he had practiced Taoism for many years and ignored the political situation. The fight for the throne had nothing to do with him. So even if Yan Yujin won the competition and married Princess Nihuang, it would be of no value to any of them.

Mu Nihuang naturally felt Mei Changsu's little movements from the beginning, but she pretended to be indifferent and continued to watch the competition on the arena.

He can only choose between the loyalty of his brother Lin Shu and the lives of his brother Lin Shu and his younger brother Mu Qing.

While Mu Nihuang was thinking, he saw two figures wearing golden crowns and red robes walking towards him, and Mu Nihuang couldn't help but worry about him.

These two people were naturally the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. They both knew that the man in front of them, using the alias Su Zhe, was the talented man and leader of the Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu, whom they had been looking for.

After the dust settled on the battle for the crown prince of Yan, the crown prince and Prince Yu knew that it was because the Sixth Prince of Yan had visited Langya Pavilion in person and obtained a brocade bag, which was the key to his winning the crown prince position of Yan. Therefore, Prince Yu did not hesitate to change his schedule to go to Langya Pavilion, and the crown prince also sent an envoy to go there at the suggestion of Xie Yu. Their purpose was the same, which was to find out why the Sixth Prince of Yan was able to win the crown prince position.

They all spent a lot of money to buy what they wanted from Langya Pavilion. On a piece of paper worth a thousand gold, there was a name written on it. This person was the sickly and frail leader of the Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince, greetings to Prince Yu." Mei Changsu and the other two bowed to the two men politely.

"Sir, please stand up."

As the crown prince, Xiao Jingxuan had to be dignified, but Xiao Jinghuan did not have this burden and stretched out his hands to make a gesture of false support.

After the pleasantries, the two began to surround Mei Changsu from the left and right and try to get close to him, asking him questions like how he slept last night and what he had for dinner in the morning. Finally, one of them said that it was not good to live in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion all the time and wanted to give him a bigger house; the other said that he was not feeling well and wanted to find a doctor.

When sparks were about to come out, a eunuch came over and said that the Empress Dowager wanted to meet Xiao Jingrui, Mu Nihuang and others, and to help resolve the situation, she also brought Mei Changsu along.
