"I've already told my brothers in the town, Zuo Village, and Eighteen Mile Shop to send me a message immediately if they find anyone suspicious.”
Xiaomi was quite reliable.
Su Xuan leaned back in his chair. During this period of time, he had been engrossed in his sword arts cultivation, so he calmed down.
He felt very tired.
"Shopkeeper, I received some news yesterday.”
" I heard that Mo Xiaobao, the sect leader of Mount Heng Sect, has set a wedding date. He's sending out wedding invitations. He's going to marry his bride in Mount Heng in half a year," Xiao Mi said softly as she chewed on melon seeds.”
"Many of the famous families have already received the invitation.”
A hint of envy appeared on his face. The Mount Heng Sect was one of the Five Mountain Sword Sects, and it had an extremely high prestige in the righteous path of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world.
Although it had declined, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Those who were qualified to attend the sect master's wedding in Mount Heng had to be reputable figures in the martial arts world.
Amy wanted to go too, but she could only think about it.
He was just a little beggar. Although he was doing well in the branch, he was still a nobody.
He was not qualified to go to Mount Heng.
"Sigh, if only I could receive an invitation.”
Xiao Mi sighed.
Su Xuan's brows revealed a strange expression as the corners of his lips curled up."It's finally starting."
"Isn't he just a run-down family? What's there to see?"
He chuckled.
"To you, the shopkeeper, everyone is a poor family.”
"But to me, the Five Mountain Sword Sect is already very powerful." Xiao Mi's eyes were filled with resentment.”
"Look at how useless you are."
"Isn't it just a wedding invitation?" Su Xuan teased. It's no big deal. I'll get you one after I'm done.”
"Really?"
Xiao Mi was overjoyed.
"Nonsense, when have I ever gone back on my word?”
He rolled his eyes.
"That's true."
Xiao Mi nodded.
"By the way, who is Mo Xiaobao's bride?”
Su Xuan poured a cup of hot tea.
"He has a big background."
Amy was obviously very keen on this kind of gossip. It was like a torrential river, endless.
"I heard that she's the daughter of Old Master Tong of the largest Dragon Gate Escort in Hanzhong.”
"The Dragon Gate Escort is considered the number one force in the martial world, especially in the Hanzhong area.”
"Mo Xiaobao, that brat, is lucky."
"I heard that this Mo Xiaobao is ignorant and incompetent. Not only is his swordsmanship bad, but he also likes to gamble.
Ever since he took over as the sect master, he had lost more than half of the Heng Mountain Sect's wealth. It was even more common for him to go to brothels.”
"I don't know why Old Master Tong would marry his daughter to such a person.”
The more Xiao Mi spoke, the angrier she got. It was as if she had a deep hatred for Mo Xiaobao.
"Alright, stop."
" I can see that you're jealous," Su Xuan said." You're jealous."”
"Shopkeeper, although I, Xiao Mi, am indeed jealous and jealous, what I said is true and not fabricated.”
"That Mo Xiaobao is really something.”
"I also heard that last year in the Green Jade Court of Guangyang Prefecture, because she was jealous of someone, she was beaten up and couldn't get out of bed for half a month.”
"If it wasn't for the sake of the Heng Mountain Sect, I would have lost my life.”
"According to what you said, the Heng Mountain Sect is probably finished.”
Su Xuan frowned.
"It's very possible."
Xiao Mi nodded.”
"Shopkeeper, do you think they will send you an invitation?”
" Who doesn't know the name Lu Qinghou in Jianghu now?" Xiao Mi suddenly said." He's the disciple of the old God of Swords and a young sword grandmaster."”
"Isn't that just nice?"
" You can go on my behalf when the time comes," Su Xuan said.”
"Forget it, it's not even in the picture yet."
Xiao Mi shook her head.
Su Xuan indeed did not care about a run-down sect like the Heng Mountain Sect. It was not as if the Five Mountain Sword Sect had never been glorious before.
At its peak, it was enough to compete with Wudang and Shaolin.
Unfortunately, this was an old history. The current Five Mountain Sword Sect was declining more and more.
They relied on the five mountains to be on the same branch and hug each other for warmth.
Only Mount Song Sword Sect was still decent. After all, Shaolin was right next to them. If they were not tenacious, they would have long been converted by Shaolin's 72 ultimate skills and converted to Buddhism.
However, Su Xuan was clearly overthinking things.
He looked down on a run-down family like Heng Shan, and the Heng Shan Sect also looked down on a nouveau riche like him.
He didn't even see an invitation. He probably had to get one from Guo Juxia.
After returning from his sword training at Mount Cuiwei, Su Xuan would sleep until noon every day before waking up. He rested like this for a few days.
Only then could he recover his exhausted mental strength.
the capital
In the ancient hall.
A middle-aged man in a black python robe sat on a large seat. A small mountain of secret scrolls was placed on the low table in front of him.
This is the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa
It was the power of the Ming royal family, used to balance Six Fan School, Jinyiwei, and East Hall.
The Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa's master, the emperor's uncle, the Iron Gut God Marquis Zhu Budian, was known as the Ming Dynasty's number one expert.
20 years ago, Zhu Budian fought against the undefeatable devil, Gu Santong, and defeated him, sending him to the ninth level of the imperial prison.
Loyalty, righteousness, and courage for the country and the people. This was how the people in the martial world viewed Zhu Bujue.
Three figures came together and entered the hall. There were two men and one woman.
"Greetings, foster father."
The three of them bowed in unison.
"Get up."
Zhu Bujue looked amiable.
"Godfather, why did you call us here?”
The slightly older man spoke, holding a long and narrow Japanese sword in his hand. He was Zhu Bujue's foster son.
Duan Tianya, who had once cultivated martial arts in Fusang, was ranked number one among the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Six Fan School had four great constables, and Dragon Guard Mountain Villa had four great secret agents.
"Let's see."
Zhu Bujue took out a file and handed it over.
Duan Tianya took it and looked at it.
"This is the dossier that Six Fan School sent to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. It is about the murder of Cold-blooded, one of the Four Great Arresters.”
Zhu Budian stood up and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
"Godfather, isn't this case closed?”
Shangguan Haitang, who was in the middle, said," I remember that it was done by a demonic expert. The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs has already issued a judgment. The execution will be carried out in a few days."”
"What demonic expert?"
Zhu Budian shook his head." It's just a prisoner from the imperial prison."”
"The case is indeed very sloppy."
Duan Tianya closed the file." Foster Father, this was reported by Six Fan School to the Ministry of Personnel. Since the Ministry of Personnel didn't say anything, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to interfere?"”
Although the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa had recruited many masters over the years, they were still far from the Six Fan School.
After all, the Six Fan School was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice and they ate the imperial food.
But in reality, whether it was money or manpower, Zhu Bujue had to settle it himself.
Even if he was the imperial uncle, in terms of wealth, how could he compare to the Ministry of Revenue?
