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

Yanzhou City.

Within its territory are major cities such as Yuecheng, Yilan County, and others.

Yanzhou City was the most prosperous place in the north of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Here, there are not only merchants traveling between the Longwu Dynasty and the Kushan Empire, but also martial arts masters from all walks of life, as well as literati who love to travel around the world's famous mountains and rivers.

"Back in the day, the capital of our Great Qing Dynasty was more than ten times more prosperous than this place!"

Two slender, graceful figures appeared in Yanzhou City.

The two women were dressed as a woman in green and a woman in black.

They all wore straw hats on their heads.

A thin black veil hung from the edge of the straw hat, obscuring the faces of the two women and making them difficult to see clearly.

These two women are Jia Daoshi's long-lost wives, Yan Ruyu and Mu Weishuang!

Yan Ruyu is the daughter of the High Priest of the Daqing Kingdom.

Mu Weishuang is the captain of the guards in the Daqing Imperial Palace. Her martial arts skills are even better than Di Qinglin's, making her undoubtedly the top expert in the palace.

The two women came to Yanzhou City for two reasons: firstly, they were worried about Jia Daoshi's recent conflict with the Great Jing Dynasty; secondly, they could not stay in the mountains for long due to the recent chaos in the martial arts world.

"Ah, it's been so long since I've seen this vibrant, lively atmosphere in the city!" Yan Ruyu sighed deeply.

"Hehe! Didn't expect that, did you? We, the daughter of the High Priest, and I, the number one expert in the Imperial Palace, now have to cover our faces even when we go to crowded places!" Mu Weishuang chuckled.

"It's nothing. Anyway, the peaceful days of the Great Jing Dynasty and the Longwu Dynasty won't last much longer. It's just that the Qingjin Army is really weak. They were crippled by Ji Wuxin in just a few moves!" Yan Ruyu shook her head.

"This isn't our young master yet!" Mu Weishuang said helplessly.

Originally, they came out of seclusion to help Jia Daoshi fight against the imperial court.

Little did they know that just as they descended the mountain, news arrived that Ji Wuxin had abandoned his plans to deal with Jia Daoshi and was heading south instead.

They were also helpless upon hearing this news!

Is Jia Daoshi really that strong?

So powerful that even the Empress Wuxin had no intention of personally leading the expedition and had no chance of winning?

But considering Jia Daoshi's abnormal martial arts talent, it makes sense!

“That’s good. At least Ajiu and Qinglin are safe with him, and they’re living quite comfortably.” Yan Ruyu smiled. “In that case, it doesn’t matter if our plan fails.”

Daqing has been dead for so long, and they have done everything they were supposed to do!

They had the advantage of location and the support of the people; all they lacked was the right timing.

As for the fate of a nation, no one can predict it!

The two women walked down the street, enjoying the vibrancy of the big city, and smiles slowly appeared on their faces.

These days, ever since the Battle of Jinling began, the two of them have been secretly observing Jia Daoshi, never letting their guard down for a moment.

Now that I've finally calmed down, I'm naturally in a great mood.

"Let's go to Jiusong Tower and see if we can hear some of the latest information."

Mu Weishuang was in a good mood and led Yan Ruyu toward Jiusong Tower.

Jiusonglou is the most luxurious and tallest inn in Yanzhou City.

It also has the most visitors, merchants, and江湖人士 (jianghu figures)!

Here you'll find the most delicious food, the strongest wine, and the most witty scholars of the Northern Dynasties!

When Yan Ruyu and Mu Weishuang arrived, the restaurant was already packed with guests.

Mu Weishuang found the restaurant owner and booked a room for the night, and then booked a private booth facing the street.

After the two women returned to their room and rested for a while, they went to a private room to sit down and have a meal.

Mu Weishuang and Yan Ruyu ate while channeling their inner energy and listening to the conversations of the martial arts practitioners around them.

"Have you noticed that the situation in Yanzhou has been getting increasingly strange lately? In just the last two days, at least seven or eight martial arts experts have arrived in Yanzhou City! Among them are experts from the Demon Sword Palace, the young master of the Purple Luo Holy Sect, as well as members of the Beggar Clan, Wudang, and the Fireworks Sect!"

"Wow! What big event is going to happen again? I heard that not only our Great Jing Dynasty, but also Huo Zhitian from the Shadow Gate of the Longwu Dynasty has sent a lot of experts here!"

"Gu Taixu, the chief disciple of the Kushan Empire's Grand Preceptor, has also left the pass and headed south!"

"Many other sects are on their way!"

"What the hell happened?"

"I heard that this matter is still related to the Imperial City Guard of the Great Jing Dynasty!"

"How do you say it?"

"Haven't you heard the news a few days ago that Empress Dajing led her troops north?"

"Yes, I have!"

"It's said that it was all because of this kid! After returning from Jinling City, this Jia Tisi did not hand over the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill and the key to the Daqing Martial God Temple to the imperial court, which angered the Dajing court! In the end, they sent troops to besiege him!"

"Didn't they eventually retreat and head south to fight the Green Turban Army? I think the Empress was just creating a charade!"

"That's not necessarily true! That's the Great Qing Martial God Temple, which holds the secret to immortality! Who wouldn't want to go and find out?"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true! I've also heard that there are ancient monsters who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years in the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves!"

"Just blow it!"

"..."

The discussion inside the restaurant was incredibly lively.

"Sister Ruyu, do you really have an old monster who has lived for over a thousand years in your Fengtao Twelve Towers?" Mu Weishuang was startled and subconsciously looked at Yan Ruyu, asking softly.

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "I don't know either! My Black Clothes Tower is just the outermost organization of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves. I am not qualified to access the most core secrets of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves."

"But these people, who dare to plot against our Great Qing Martial God Palace, are truly courting death!" A cold glint flashed in Mu Weishuang's eyes!

"Wei Shuang, watch your words!" Yan Ruyu raised a finger and put it to her lips.

"Speaking of which, did our young master really take that key? I hope he did," Mu Weishuang said with a smile.

"Given his audacious nature, it's probably true," Yan Ruyu said with a faint smile.

This thing, after all, belongs to the Great Qing Dynasty. It would be best if it could be in the hands of my own husband!

……

Just as Yan Ruyu and Mu Weishuang were gathering information and discussing Jia Daoshi...

Jiajiazhuang.

Jia Daoshi was in a quiet room, quietly sensing the power of the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill!

The most important thing in refining a pill is to be familiar with its medicinal properties!

How do you find out? Naturally, by eating it!

When he first went into seclusion, Jia Daoshi was quietly trying to comprehend the seventh level of the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill!

This seventh floor is different from the previous six floors!

If the first six levels were still within the normal scope of martial arts, then the seventh level was somewhat puzzling to Jia Daoshi.

This seventh floor actually feels like reading the Tao Te Ching!

The Dragon Elephant Divine Skill has always been known for its domineering nature!

But this seventh floor isn't domineering at all!
