The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Jiangdu City is 500 li away from Jinling City!

City Lord's Mansion!

A large, snow-white bird flapped its wings and landed in the mansion.

The clerk with the mustache hurriedly stepped forward, took a carrier pigeon from the bird's foot, and then quickly ran towards the study!

Inside the study, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears was serving tea and water to a well-dressed young man with a fawning expression!

This elegantly dressed young man is none other than Wu Quan, the fifth prince of the Great Jing Dynasty!

"My lord, we have news from Nanjing!" The clerk bowed and handed over the intelligence report with both hands.

"understood."

The middle-aged man reached out and took the carrier pigeon message. Just as he was about to hand it to Wu Quan, the other man waved his hand and said, "Read it!"

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, please open this letter..."

Soon, the message from the carrier pigeon was read aloud.

Wu Quan's eyes lit up: "I never expected this guy surnamed Jia to be so arrogant!"

"No wonder Her Majesty the Empress trusted this kid so much. I never expected him to be the new head of the Imperial City Guard!"

"If he just stays holed up in his doghouse, that's fine!"

"Since you've come to Jinling without knowing your own mortality, then don't blame this prince for being impolite!"

"Hmph! After you die, I, the prince, will take good care of your wives!"

……

The sun rises in the east.

The morning light is dim.

At this time, many martial arts practitioners still gathered near Happy Forest!

The number is no less than yesterday!

The area around Happy Forest was incredibly lively late last night!

Schools of fish swam and lingered along the banks of the Qinhuai River, as if ten thousand fish were paying homage to their ancestor!

In the air, birds circled above Jinling City for a long time!

This is because of the dragon-elephant true energy in Jia Daoshi's body, which attracted all beasts to worship him!

It is said that because there were so many fish in the Qinhuai River, several pleasure boats were capsized, turning the talented men and beautiful women inside into drowned rats!

These strange phenomena shocked half of the city of Nanjing!

The strange phenomenon didn't disappear until morning!

"Gone..."

"Yeah, those bastards were so noisy last night, I didn't get a good night's sleep!"

"And that lightning strike—I've heard that such a celestial phenomenon only occurs during a breakthrough!"

Many people are still unable to regain their composure.

If a martial artist can produce these extraordinary phenomena while practicing, it means that this person is definitely a genius and that the technique they practice is also extremely powerful!

It is said that when the master of the Sword Tower and Daoji Tower of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves broke through to the Free and Unfettered Realm, he also caused lightning to fall from the heavens!

It once commanded the submission of all the beasts in the mountains!

But that's breaking through to the Free and Unfettered Realm!

Could it be that someone in the martial arts world broke through to the Free and Unfettered Realm last night?

"Now, the entire city of Jinling has been filled with people from most of the martial arts world. Could it be that that genius has broken through again?"

"I think there's one person who's very likely to be it, and that's Jia Daoshi!"

"Huh? Him? No way?"

The image of Jia Daoshi resurfaced in their minds.

Could it really be this monster from the Imperial City Guard?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

No one wanted to believe this fact!

The Imperial City Guard's growing strength is definitely not a good thing for them!

But who can guarantee it wasn't him?

……

Meanwhile, on a painted boat on the Qinhuai River, Mo Ruya sat quietly at the bow, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Happy Forest, his brows furrowed slightly: "Lightning strikes from the sky, strange phenomena appearing in the mortal realm, a manipulation of nature. This is not a good thing for the martial world. Once the balance of many years is broken, more bloodshed is inevitable. Now, I wonder who is breaking through!"

Regardless of who is in power, they all hate things that are beyond their control, especially the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves.

"Hahaha, you don't know? That's because you're unwilling to admit it. Isn't the person who broke through yesterday that kid? I've never seen anyone in the martial world with such outstanding talent!" Mo Ruyuan shook his head.

"If you say so, then it is so!"

Mo Ruya remained calm, seemingly lost in thought.

Mo Ruyuan walked to Mo Ruya's side with his hands behind his back, looking at the Happy Forest not far away and said, "Don't you think this is what makes the martial world interesting? Compared to the stagnant pool of the past, this is what the martial world should be like!"

These twin brothers, although both are masters of the military tower, still have some differences in personality.

Originally, Jia Daoshi's abilities were not even worth their attention.

However, the strange phenomena of last night rekindled their interest in this new head of the Imperial City Guard!

It must be said that Mo Ruyuan's insight is quite sharp, but this guess still needs further confirmation.

In fact, there are quite a few people who share his thoughts.

Among them, the most obvious is Murong Nishang.

After traveling for so many days, she really wanted to get a good night's sleep after arriving in Jinling.

But the noise last night kept her awake no matter what!

This made her suspect that the commotion last night was all orchestrated by Jia Daoshi alone!

So early in the morning, she went to the first floor of the Happy Forest Hall, where she ate breakfast and waited for Jia Daoshi to come downstairs.

After spending several days with him, Murong Nishang discovered that Jia Daoshi had a huge appetite and was a real foodie!

Murong Nishang was eating by herself when she subconsciously turned her head and saw a small boat slowly drifting on the Qinhuai River outside the window!

At the bow of the ship sat a slender figure clad in armor!

Who else could it be but Mingyue Xin?

"The ghost lingers!"

"Doesn't this woman fear death?!"

Murong Nishang made a comment.

But then again, Mingyue Xin really isn't afraid!

Her father was Shi Mingheying, a pillar of the Great Jing Dynasty. No martial arts figure would be so blind as to cause her trouble.

In addition, the Ming family has connections with many forces in the martial arts world, both overtly and covertly!

Seeing Mingyue Xin come again, Murong Nishang felt inexplicably unhappy.

However, this time, she did not choose to take action.

Why should she intervene if the other party isn't going to?

Mingyue Xin also saw Murong Nishang, but she had no intention of making a move.

Now, Happy Forest has become the center of the entire Jinling!

A major war could break out at any moment!

If you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities!

……

As the sky grew brighter and the sun rose higher, boats on the Qinhuai River drifted in from all directions and all stopped on the river not far from Happy Forest.

Some people were drinking on the boat, some were reading, some were playing the zither, and some were indulging in pleasure with several courtesans...

But no matter what they did, most of their minds were on the Pleasure Forest!

As for the ground, although the streets leading to Happy Forest were empty and no one was standing there, the surrounding shops, houses, and stalls were full of martial arts figures secretly observing!

"Why is there still no movement? Most of the heroes in the world have gathered here, is there no one willing to step forward? This Imperial City Guard is so arrogant, and no one is teaching him a lesson. Is there no one left in the martial world?"

Some people couldn't help but complain.
