The next day, no one mentioned what happened last night.
It seemed that Lin Xian'er had never been to Huashan. Obviously, the leader Yue Buqun must have given special instructions to his disciples.
Linghu Chong felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Even if it was wrong for Lin Xian'er to seduce you, you should just drive her away. Is it necessary to kill her?
How could such a beautiful person be so cruel?
Although he had some complaints in his heart, he was not a fool. Due to the majesty of his master and the terrifying nature of Song Xuan, he did not reveal his thoughts.
I could only silently hope in my heart that Song Xuan would leave Huashan as soon as possible.
With this person around, the little junior sister's eyes were all on Song Xuan. The entire Huashan Sect revolved around him, and the master also strictly disciplined his disciples. Even if he wanted to sneak down the mountain to wander around, he couldn't.
Perhaps his prayers were useful, for after breakfast, Song Xuan received a letter.
This letter was sent from a Xuanyiwei hundred-household station in charge of the Huashan area.
After reading the letter, Song Xuan looked at the Xuanyi Guard who had the general flag token hanging on his waist and asked, "Is this letter from the imperial capital?"
"Replying to Lord Song, it is indeed so!"
The general flag said hurriedly: "Originally, our captain was planning to deliver the letter in person, but a case suddenly came up, so I have to do it for you.
The captain said that four replacement war horses have been prepared at the foot of Mount Hua, and Lord Song can use them at any time."
Song Xuan smiled and said, "In that case, please give my regards to your family and thank him for his kindness."
She casually rewarded the man with a piece of silver, and after the general left, Song Qian couldn't wait to speak.
"Brother, are we going back to the capital?"
Song Xuan smiled and said, "A letter came from the imperial capital, asking us to set off and return to the capital immediately."
He knew that as the news of the situation in Qingzhou was reported back to the imperial capital, he would be recalled sooner or later. He thought it would be after the New Year, but he did not expect to receive the letter before the New Year.
As he spoke, he bowed to Yue Buqun and said with a smile: "The military situation is urgent. It seems that we can't celebrate the New Year in Huashan."
He glanced at Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan, then instructed, "You two stay in Huashan. I will send a message to you after I settle down next year."
According to his estimation, he should be sent to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion after the new year. It is indeed inconvenient to take Qu Yang and his grandson with him on the battlefield where swords and spears are blind.
"Everything is up to you, sir!"
Qu Yang and the other two naturally did not dare to disobey orders, and they were relieved about Song Xuan's arrangements.
For some reason, everyone, including Yue Buqun, had a natural awe of the imperial capital. Qu Yang and the others felt much more relaxed as they didn't have to go to the imperial capital.
Chapter 183 The Situation in Qingzhou
Heavy snow blocked the mountains and horses could no longer pass through many places.
It took Song Xuan and his sister a full month to return to the imperial capital from Mingzhou. When they were nearing the imperial capital, it was almost the New Year.
Looking at the ancient, magnificent and huge capital from afar, Song Xuan reined in his horse and stopped. This huge empire gave him a feeling of decay and decline.
Click!
The warhorse under Song Qian seemed to have stepped on something. She looked down and saw a frozen corpse under the horse's hooves.
Song Qian dismounted, felt around the corpse, and then shook her head, saying, "Dead as a sliver! Judging from their attire, they must be ordinary civilians. If they go out in this kind of weather, they'll die in the snow if they're not careful."
She said helplessly, "On this journey, we encountered at least eighty frozen corpses on the roadside.
I didn't expect that even in the imperial capital, it was still like this!"
Song Xuan remained silent. It was difficult for him to change anything in this situation.
Even in the modern society before he traveled through time, there would always be many casualties due to cold weather and floods, not to mention the feudal era today.
The territory of the Great Zhou is too vast. As a world of martial arts, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, and the yield of crops is extremely high. With no shortage of food, the population is simply an astronomical figure.
There are too many people. To the powerful and wealthy, the life and death of ordinary people are really no different from those of ants.
I looked up at the sky and saw snowflakes starting to fall again.
He took a deep breath and said, "This year's snowstorm is much heavier than in previous years."
Perhaps, this is why, after the dragon vein of a state was cut off, it began to affect the ecological environment of the entire world.
He casually slapped the ground with his palm, and a big pit appeared in the snow. Song Xuan rolled up his sleeves, and an invisible force rolled the corpse on the ground mixed with the soil into the pit.
They met by chance, and the only thing he could do was to let them rest in peace.
"Let's go!"
After dealing with the corpse, the two men walked towards the ancient city in the distance against the wind and snow.
.....
A major event occurred in Qingzhou, but for the people in the imperial capital, life seemed to be unaffected.
Unlike the people in Mingzhou, here, even ordinary people have smiles on their faces, with a bit of pride in their smiles and light in their eyes.
Under the feet of the emperor, in the land of sages, these people are born with a sense of superiority.
After entering the imperial capital, Song Xuan and the other man tied the Xuanyiwei token around their waists and then went straight to the Inspection Office.
"Brother Xuan is back?"
Song Xuan also recognized the two people on duty outside the yamen. They were Lu Xiaoliu and Lao Niu. After not seeing them for a year, he had already held a high position, while these two were still third-class Xuanyi Guards and were still living a mediocre life.
Song Xuan greeted him with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Lao Niu's towering figure. "I heard you got married?"
There was a hint of shyness on Lao Niu's dark face. "Yes, it was a marriage arranged by my family."
"From the looks of you, you seem very satisfied."
Song Xuan smiled and said, "I said before that I would find a suitable marriage for you, but something happened and delayed me. How about this? Go back to Zuiyun Tower and pick out two prostitutes to redeem as concubines. I'll cover all expenses!"
"Brother Xuan, this is unacceptable!"
The old bull shook his head like a rattle, and even looked around subconsciously, fearing that what Song Xuan had just said would be heard by others.
Song Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Why, do we still need to be polite to each other, brothers?"
"It's not a courtesy, it's really not a courtesy!"
Lao Niu's face turned red, and he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, looking very conflicted.
"What's going on?" Song Xuan looked at Lu Xiaoliu.
Lu Xiaoliu laughed loudly, pointing at Lao Niu and saying, "This guy married a general's daughter, and her martial arts skills are even better than Lao Niu's.
He dares to take a concubine? I'll give him a discount on his sister-in-law's legs!"
"Old Cow, you can't do this!"
Song Xuan laughed and patted his shoulder, "I'll teach you some powerful martial arts later. I guarantee that she will be completely subdued and you can regain your status as a husband!"
Victoria Song was bored as she listened to her brother bragging.
You haven't even slept with a woman yourself, yet you have the nerve to teach others how to regain their marital status?
Lu Xiaoliu approached Song Qian with a playful smile, "Sister Xiaoqian, you've been in Mingzhou for so long, have you met a man you like?"
Victoria Song rolled her eyes at him, "Men only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"
Lu Xiaoliu gave a thumbs up, "Sister Qian is truly amazing! Her level of thinking is far beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."
After chatting about the situation in the imperial capital for a while at the door, a general flag came quickly and led Song Xuan and the other man towards Zhao Dezhu's office.
"Uncle Zhao!"
As soon as he entered the door, Song Xuan shouted with a smile on his face, then took a bundle from Song Qian and placed it on Zhao Dezhu's desk.
"I brought some local specialties from Mingzhou. I wonder if Uncle Zhao likes them."
Zhao Dezhu waved his hand and said, "Let's not do this between uncle and nephew."
Zhao Dezhu seemed uninterested in the gifts on the table and whispered, "If you're interested, bring me some of the health supplements you got last time."
"What health supplements?" Victoria Song asked curiously.
Zhao Dezhu coughed lightly, "Nothing... By the way, you should know why I called you back this time, right?"
Song Xuan nodded, "Uncle Zhao, how is the situation in Qingzhou?"
"The situation is not optimistic."
Zhao Dezhu sighed and said, "Qingzhou Mu Huang Taiji is very well prepared. He controls nine of the twelve prefectures in the prefecture. It's basically just a matter of time before he takes over the remaining three.
Last month, he changed his name to Huang Taiji and founded the Qing Dynasty. The Emperor was furious about this!
Song Xuan frowned. The situation in Qingzhou was collapsing much faster than he had expected.
"What's the situation with the Xuanyi Guards in Qingzhou?"
Zhao Dezhu shook his head, "Most of the twelve thousand households died, and the rest escaped by luck.
The underworld forces in Qingzhou are not strong, and there are not many innate masters. Therefore, the thousand households stationed there are relatively weak, and there are few powerful innate masters.
After Huang Taiji rebelled, several innate masters from the Law Enforcement Department in Qingzhou went to assassinate him, but they were all killed on the spot. The other side had masters around them.
Song Xuan was not surprised by this.
The martial arts master couldn't get in, and the Xuanyi Guards from Qingzhou alone were really unable to do anything to Mu Dao Ren's group of masters.
Not to mention that Mu Dao Ren himself is a top master who has condensed the two innate flowers. Now he is assisting Huang Taiji in establishing the country. With the national fortune added to his fortune, it is really hard to say to what extent his strength has reached.
If he could really condense the third flower with the help of the national destiny, in Qingzhou, in the innate realm, this person could truly be said to be invincible.
Even I can't say that I am absolutely sure that I can deal with the other party!
Chapter 184 Song Xuan: After becoming the commander, can I still slack off?
"When does Uncle Zhao plan to let me leave?"
Zhao Dezhu waved his hand, "Don't worry. The commander wants you to have a good New Year's holiday first. As for when to leave after the New Year, we'll see how the situation develops."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the imperial palace and said, "These people need a lesson after all!"
Song Xuan knew who Zhao Dezhu was talking about.
It seems that the rift between the Xuanyi Guards and the Emperor is much greater than he expected.
The emperor wanted to punish the Xuanyi Guards, and the Xuanyi Guards were also thinking of ways to teach the emperor a lesson.
When Huang Taiji of Qingzhou established the country and broke away from the Great Zhou system, the most anxious person was naturally the emperor.
Song Xuan is unable to intervene in the game between the top leaders of the Xuanyi Guard and the emperor for the time being. He is concerned about another issue now.
"Uncle Zhao, if the spiritual vein is cut, will it be very serious for the world?"
"There is some impact, but it's not a big problem. You don't need to be nervous."
Seeing Song Xuan's serious expression, Zhao Dezhu said with a smile: "The change in Qingzhou this time was caused by the emperor himself, otherwise the dragon vein would not be cut off so easily.
And it's not a big deal. The world has its own ability to repair itself. It will exclude the martial arts master from Qingzhou to prevent further damage in the future. Things will return to normal in a few decades.
After this incident, the dragon veins between heaven and earth will become even more hidden and difficult to find, and it will be almost impossible for other states to follow suit.
The so-called Great Qing Empire will only last for a few decades at most. Once the world recovers and can accommodate martial arts masters, it will be easily wiped out! "
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "But no matter what, Huang Taiji's rebellion and founding of a country was a slap in the face of the imperial court and also a slap in the face of our Xuanyi Guards.
As the most powerful military organization in the Great Zhou, our Xuanyi Guards must come up with some means to deal with this matter and get things done cleanly and efficiently.
For the time being, you are the only one on our side who can show off his prowess in the innate realm.
If necessary, you really need to go there in person!"
Song Xuan nodded.
Although he did not explicitly say what his strength was, his battle record was there. With Zhao Dezhu's power and intelligence capabilities, he could naturally estimate his approximate combat power.
"Tell me the truth, is it possible to break through to the Grandmaster level within ten years?"
"ten years?"
Song Xuan estimated, "I'm somewhat confident, but I'm not sure. After all, no one can say for sure if there will be any unexpected changes during a breakthrough to a higher realm."
"That's enough!"
