Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"Sir, you've given me too much..."

Upon seeing that she had handed him two gold bars, the shopkeeper hurriedly spoke up.

But the woman said calmly, "It's not much. The renovation of your restaurant, plus the medical expenses, will cost this much."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The shopkeeper stared at her retreating figure with a face full of suspicion. Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a creaking sound, like wood cracking. He hurriedly looked up and saw that the main beam had cracked at some point and could no longer bear the weight, collapsing directly!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the two-story restaurant was instantly reduced to ruins!

All the guests in the restaurant were buried inside, and for a time they cried out in despair.

The people passing by on the street were all horrified when they saw this.

"How could the sturdy Songxian Tower have collapsed?"

"Hurry, save him!"

"what happened!"

People pitched in to help, and many people were rescued; there were no casualties.

"No, this building was collapsed by someone using internal force!"

The Songxian Tower was home to many martial arts masters. After escaping their predicament, they took a closer look and immediately noticed something amiss, exclaiming in astonishment, "Who on earth possesses such internal strength?!"

These words shocked everyone else!

Can you collapse a building using internal force?

"Martial arts...Grandmaster?"

Someone subconsciously swallowed and said, "Could it be that one of the four grandmasters has arrived in the capital? But why would they want to mess with this building?"

As everyone exchanged bewildered glances, the shopkeeper was helped to his feet. He coughed and said, "Ahem... It's a woman in white, a beautiful young girl!"

A young girl!?

Upon hearing this, everyone present was even more astonished!

……

The woman in white on the snow-white horse, however, did not turn her head and slowly arrived at a high platform on the central street.

This place is called Wujitai.

Established by the imperial court, only grandmasters throughout history have been able to ascend the Martial Peak Platform!

On the Wuji Platform stands a large drum called the Martial Arts Ceremony Drum. The sound of this drum signifies the arrival of a new martial arts master in the world.

The woman dismounted and then gracefully headed towards the Martial Arts Platform.

……

now.

It was the morning meeting.

In the Golden Palace, the courtiers were shocked, and everyone looked at the Crown Prince in bewilderment.

He actually proposed requesting a city lockdown? This baffled everyone.

Emperor Xianxian sat upright on his dragon throne, having finished reading Li Yue's memorial, but then glanced at Li Lan in the crowd.

Li Lan rose from a commoner to a Hanlin Academician, so naturally he had to attend court assemblies.

"Li Yue has reached the age required for a city to be sealed off, which is perfectly reasonable. Since that is the case, I will grant your request. Guards, issue the order to bestow upon Li Yue the title of King of Annam and to seal off the city as Ning An City. He shall be dispatched from the capital immediately."

Emperor Xianxian agreed, and then asked, "Is there anything else you wish to report?"

The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation in the Northwest. The army led by the Second Prince Li Xian was defeated three days ago. The enemy has already reached Dayong Pass. The intelligence reports claim that demons are helping the rebels!"

Instantly, the court officials were shaken.

Dayong Pass is the last barrier in the Northwest. Once this pass is breached, the rebel army will no longer be confined to the Northwest. It will sweep across the country and enter the Central Plains, at which point even the capital will be threatened.

"How could that be? The Tiger Warriors led by the Second Prince are the elite of our dynasty."

“Demons… The immortals on the Mountain of Seeking the Dao said that demons are lurking around our realm. Could this be true?”

"This is how to do……"

Even Emperor Xianxian frowned almost imperceptibly, then waved his hand, "Three days from now, Lin Zheng will lead the army to the northwest to support Li Xian!"

In such a critical moment, the only person we can rely on is Lin Zheng.

"I obey!"

Lin Zheng agreed.

"Furthermore, since Minister Lin is going to the front lines, your daughter's marriage should not be delayed any longer. I suggest that Lin Ruobing and Li Yue get married before the expedition. What do you think, Minister Lin?"

Lin Zheng is about to wield significant military power, and before that, it is essential to bind him to the First Prince.
