Two years ago, Kong Xiu had lived in seclusion at the foot of East Kunlun Mountain. He had devoted himself to the compilation of the Rites and Music Grand Ceremony, not caring about the affairs of the world.
People like Kong Xiu, who had focused on academic research all his life and did not care about anything else, were not people that any power would provoke.
However, he was still remembered by someone.
This person was the Fourth Young Master of the Great Qing Empire!
The Great Qing Empire originated from Jianzhou. As they lived in the mountains and forests all year round, they lacked clothes and food. They often used the fur of wild boars as a cold item, also known as wild boar fur.
Two hundred years ago, the Wild Boar Fins took advantage of the internal strife of the Divine Prefecture Empire to raise an army in Jianzhou and conquer the Liaodong region of the Divine Prefecture. They established the Great Qing Empire and allied with the Hu people of the Western Regions to fight against the Divine Prefecture Empire.
Later on, the Divine Prefecture Empire also thought of sending troops to attack and reclaim their homeland.
At that time, the Imperial Advisor advised the Emperor not to kill people in the name of his own folly, and finally dispelled the Emperor's idea.
Not long after, under the efforts of the Imperial Advisor, the two countries gradually had exchanges.
Now, the Fourth Young Master of the Great Qing Empire had targeted Kong Xiu for some reason because he wanted to compile the "Four Granaries Complete Book" to recruit all the knowledgeable people in the world.
Not long ago, the Fourth Young Master had traveled thousands of miles from Liaodong to the vicinity of Mount Kunlun with a group of martial arts experts from Daqing and Tantra monks. After many searches, they finally found Kong Xiu's secluded place.
After several failed attempts to recruit him, the Fourth Young Master finally lost his patience and fell out with Kong Xiu.
Coincidentally, Kong Qingxian and two students from Jixia came to visit Kong Xiu. The Fourth Young Master ordered Kong Qingxian to be captured and used to force Kong Xiu to submit.
Kong Qingxian was a disciple of the Confucian Sect. Although he did not like to practice martial arts, he was forced to learn some since he was young.
It was also because she knew a bit of martial arts that she was not caught immediately and escaped.
After
hearing the entire story, Han Xu had the urge to kill!
If there was anything in this world that made Han Xu feel disgusted, it would be Daqing, which would definitely pay for it even if it was far away.
Han Xu had never had a good impression of these wild boar skins.
The degree of disgust was even higher than that of the Buddhist Sect!
Han Xu did not care about Kong Xiu's life or death, but he was going to kill this Fourth Young Master of the Great Qing Empire today!
"Do you know where the Fourth Young Master is?”Han Xu asked coldly.
"I heard that he lives in the mountain city up ahead, only sixty miles away from here.... Ah!"
Before he could finish his words, Han Xu reached out and picked up Kong Qingxian. Then, he used Light and Dust and ran straight to the mountain city.
As a member of the Confucian Sect, Kong Qingxian viewed the defenses between men and women far more seriously than others.
Being hugged by Han Xu, she instantly panicked and looked nervous.
She wanted to stop Han Xu and ask him to put her down.
However, he had brought himself to save his grandfather. How could he open his mouth to say such rude words?
Although the disciples of the Confucian Sect paid attention to rules, they weren't pedantic.
It was an urgent matter, so he decided to hug her.
With this thought in mind, Kong Qingxian instantly felt less nervous
…
There were many gathering points for Han and Hu trade near Mount Kunlun. These places had developed over the years and formed mountain cities of various sizes.
After Kong Xiu was captured, he was brought back to a manor in the mountain city.
The Fourth Young Master held a paper fan in his hand and was dressed in white. He looked a little suave and elegant.
This person had always been pretentious and conceited, and had given himself an alias,'Old Man Shiquan.'
He thought that he had ten skills that were unparalleled in the world.
Among them, he was most proud of his ability to compose poems. He had composed tens of thousands of poems in his life.
However, his level was limited, and most of them were limericks that didn't make sense.
And this person still didn't know it, thinking that his talent was outstanding and that no one could compare to him.
In fact, it was extremely laughable!
"Elder Kong, compiling the 'Si Cang Quan Shu' is a grand occasion in the academic world. Why do you reject me so many times?”
Kong Xiu was already close to a hundred years old. For someone who did not know martial arts, this age was already considered old.
He was tall and straight, with a white beard and white hair. Although his face was full of wrinkles, he had a kind expression and a refined aura.
"Humph! What Si Cang Quan Shu? It was called editing a book, but it was actually destroying a book! You gathered a group of academic scum led by that guy with the surname Ji and sang praises of Slave Jian in the book, but slandered our vast Divine Prefecture and tampered with history. This is an act that harms the common people!”
"You want me to help you write a book after doing such a dirty thing? It's really wishful thinking!"
Although Kong Xiu was a scholar, he had an iron backbone!
Even though he was a prisoner, he still maintained his elegant demeanor and was calm.
His words were sonorous and powerful.
The Fourth Young Master was furious. Whether it is military or culture, we are above the Divine Prefecture. This land of the Divine Prefecture will be mine sooner or later. You old man, you're stubborn and don't know the destiny. How hateful!”
"Hahahahaha! Barbarians, arrogant! We are a vast country with many talented people and heroes everywhere. You still want to occupy the Central Plains? This is a suicidal move!" Kong Xiu laughed wildly without any fear.
"I'll kill you, old man!”The Fourth Young Master had always been proud of the Great Qing Empire. After being belittled like this, he immediately had the intention to kill!
"Young Master, you can't!"
The Fourth Young Master was ignorant and arrogant, so how could he know the foundation of the scholarly faction?
Fortunately, the servant beside him quickly pulled him back and advised,"Young Master, Kong Xiu is the direct blood relative of the leader of the scholarly faction! Although the scholarly faction is modest, they have always repaid grudges with honesty. There are many talented people in the sect, and there are countless experts. We have already caused a huge disaster by capturing Kong Xiu. If we kill him, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what? Speak!"
This servant felt extremely aggrieved. When the fourth young master wanted to kidnap Kong Xiu, he had already tried his best to persuade him not to provoke the scholarly faction!
However, the Fourth Young Master was blindly arrogant and did not listen to advice at all.
Now, he had to stop him from killing Kong Xiu no matter what. Otherwise, not only would his master be in trouble, but his servant would also die!
Therefore, this slave braved the crime of disrespect and said bluntly,"I'm afraid there's a danger of extermination!"
"Bastard slave!"
The Fourth Young Master flew into a rage and kicked the servant in the stomach. He shouted,""Can a mere scholarly faction destroy my Daqing?”
This servant was kicked and his heart was filled with anger. However, in the face of such a master, what could he do?
"Fourth Young Master, although it's impossible for a single clan to destroy an entire country, if they really anger the scholarly faction, it won't be difficult for them to destroy Young Master's bloodline.”
Since he had already offended them, he might as well go all out and say whatever he wanted.
The fourth young master was slightly stunned and asked,""The scholarly faction really has this ability?"
"Yes!"
The Fourth Young Master's heart trembled, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Because he knew that this slave was a good friend of the person in charge of Daqing's intelligence network. His words would not deviate too much.
However…
"So what if that's the case?" The Fourth Young Master snorted coldly. I, Da Qing, am about to form an alliance with the Living Buddha of the Tantra Sect. With the support of the Tantra Sect, why should I be afraid of a mere Confucian Sect?”
"Young Master, before we meet the Living Buddha, we still don't know what happened in the Alliance. We should be careful…"
Boom!
A loud explosion shook the entire villa like thunder!
Han Xu had arrived!
(It's very clear. The big shots should know at a glance who this fourth young master is. Some things couldn't be touched, so he just needed to use it as a metaphor.）
