Chapter 586 Change the world
The life-and-death battle between Qin Ku and Qin Ming spread across the country in just a few days and everyone in the world knew about it.
At the same time, Qin Ku followed Luo Tianjin's plan and exaggerated the past grievances between him and Qin Ming, making them known to the world. He wanted to let the martial arts heroes know the ins and outs of the matter, understand the reason why Qin Ku and Qin Ming were fighting to the death, answer the doubts in everyone's hearts, and take the opportunity to stop the world from talking about it.
Whether Qin Ming was killed or the Qin family changed hands, it was ultimately the Qin family's family affair.
Now, instead of pursuing the responsibility of Qin Ku for killing Qin Ming, the Qin family accepts him as the new head of the family, rehabilitates his father and regards Qin Ming as a traitor who has usurped power.
Overnight, the winners became kings and the losers became bandits, the world turned upside down, who was right and who was wrong? The winner would decide everything with a single word. As for the losers, they would only become the butt of ridicule and a sigh.
Luo Tianjin pretended that he realized things late, but after hearing the "explanation" of Qin Ku and Qin's disciples, he hurriedly "set things right" as the leader of the martial arts world. On the one hand, he acknowledged Qin Ku's orthodox status, and on the other hand, he criticized Qin Ming's past misdeeds.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. However, due to Luo Tianjin's status and the Qin family's attitude towards Qin Ku, they kept silent.
People are not fools, and no one would become enemies with Luo Tianjin and Qin Ku just because of a dead person. Moreover, even the Qin family did not admit that Qin Ku was wrong, so if others meddle in other people's affairs, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
After the Qin family crisis subsided, Luo Tianjin no longer had any worries. On the first day of November, he issued an order to become the leader of the alliance, distributing martial arts tokens to the heroes of the martial arts world, and at the same time officially announced the "clan level" division to the world.
For a time, the Central Plains was in turmoil and the martial arts world underwent tremendous changes.
The old martial arts world was completely broken, and a new martial arts world with Luo Tianjin as the absolute core was born.
With the emergence of a new martial arts order, various sects and heroes in the world are looking for opportunities to seek greater benefits for themselves by taking advantage of the opportunity to break the old and establish the new.
On the one hand, Luo Tianjin discussed the general situation of the world with Yeluqin and Xunzhen and formulated a strategy for raising troops. On the other hand, he continued to strengthen his dominance in the martial arts world, expanded his power intensively, and secretly cultivated his own "Imperial Guards".
Qin Ming's death and Qin Ku's coming to power meant that Jin Fuyu had completely lost the support of the Qin family in Hexi. It also meant that Jin Fuyu's plan to delay Luo Tianjin's unification of the martial arts world had completely failed.
But since Song Yu successfully rescued Ai Mi, he also won a round in the contest with Luo Tianjin, so Jin Fu Yu did not get angry and do other crazy things.
Jin Fuyu judged the situation and decided that now was no longer the time to fight openly or secretly with Luo Tianjin. Although he had lost the Hexi Qin clan, fortunately, the clan's vitality was intact and its foundation was still there, so he decided to put the overall situation first and personally return to Hengshan Village to supervise the training of the troops, prepare food and supplies, and make final preparations for his great cause of restoring the country.
The world situation was precarious. The news that the Mongolian army was planning to invade the Song Dynasty from the south was no longer a secret among a few people, but had spread throughout the city and was known to everyone, including women and children.
During this period, the Song Dynasty court deployed troops to strengthen the defense lines on both the north and south sides. A brutal war with countless lives and rivers of blood could break out at any time.
Regarding this, the people of the Song Dynasty were even more worried and in a state of anxiety all day long.
For this reason, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty issued several secret decrees in succession, urging the East Palace to recruit martial arts heroes as soon as possible to replenish troops and combat power for the upcoming war.
November 5th, late at night.
A dark shadow quietly climbed out of the Xianwang Mansion, and with his extraordinary lightness skills, he passed through the streets and alleys of Luoyang City. Half an hour later, he swept into a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city.
The man had a black scarf on his face and wore a nightgown. His entire body was covered tightly, leaving only a pair of bright black eyes visible as he looked around cautiously.
The yard was overgrown with weeds and had a musty smell everywhere, as if it had been abandoned for many years.
"I've been waiting for ten days, and you're finally here."
Suddenly, a slender figure slowly walked out from the shadows. In the moonlight, a handsome and resolute face appeared in front of the man in black.
"Brother Qin!"
Upon seeing Qin Wei, the man in black quickly pulled off the black scarf in front of him, revealing Liu Xunyi's excited face.
"In fact, I have already discovered the signal you left behind, but unfortunately there are too many people in the Xianwang Mansion and it is very busy, so I made you wait for so long." Liu Xunyi walked forward quickly, smiling with relief on his face, "I feel relieved when I see you."
"Brother Liu, why do you say that?" Qin Wei was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Liu Xunyi meant.
"Brother Qin, please tell the Marquis that I can't stay in the Xianwang Mansion any longer and must leave before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month!"
"hiss!"
Qin Wei's expression changed slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "Something happened?"
"Yes." Liu Xunyi nodded heavily, and seeing Qin Wei's worried eyes, he quickly explained, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with Luo Tianjin, it's my problem."
"What do you mean?"
"You have been in Luoyang City for ten days, so you should have heard something." Liu Xunyi said with a wry smile, "King Beixian has betrothed Luo Ningyu to me, and the wedding date is set for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, I must leave as soon as possible and must not marry Luo Ningyu."
"What are you afraid of?" Qin Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and jokingly said, "You and Pan Yuyin also pretended to get married before, but it was just a show." "This time is different." Liu Xunyi shook his head and said, "Last time, Miss Pan, I, and everyone in the Pan family knew the whole story, so it was harmless to just pretend. But today is different. Except for me, everyone else thinks it is real, including Luo Ningyu. Therefore, once I marry her, there will be no room for redemption."
"Luo Ningyu is the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world. Isn't she worthy of you?" Qin Wei teased, "Besides, you are a grown man, are you afraid of being at a disadvantage? If it were me, not only would I not be in a hurry to leave, but I would be impatient..."
"Don't be ridiculous!" Liu Xunyi's face turned serious and he said unhappily, "You know my situation, and you know why I approached Luo Tianjin. The truth will come out sooner or later. How can you let Luo Ningyu deal with it? What's more, I only have Xin'er in my heart. How can I do anything to let her down?"
When Zhao Xin was mentioned, the smile on Qin Wei's face froze slightly, and his expression became a little unnatural.
"You're right, I was kidding." Qin Wei was worried that Liu Xunyi would notice, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell the Marquis about this matter for you, and try to save you from suffering as soon as possible, so that you won't be in a dilemma."
"Thank you." Liu Xunyi felt relieved and muttered to himself, "This way, I can finally give an explanation to my elder brother."
Qin Wei rolled his eyes, looked around, and whispered, "Xun Yi, I want to tell you a good news. Your hard days will end soon, and you will be able to return to Lin'an soon."
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Not long ago, the emperor issued an imperial decree and sent an imperial envoy to Luoyang City to recruit Luo Tianjin."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xunyi was stunned.
In fact, he had been looking forward to today since the day he left Tianji Pavilion. Only when the imperial court formally offered amnesty to Luo Tianjin could his mission be successfully completed.
In other words, he had gone through untold hardships, risked his life to win Luo Tianjin's trust, and survived step by step to this day. What was he doing for? It was for the imperial court's amnesty order.
At this moment, my dream suddenly came true, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions. I didn't know what to say for a long time.
"Brother Liu, you have been trembling with fear and fear all day long in the martial arts world. You have suffered a lot and endured a lot of hardships. It is really not easy." Looking at the absent-minded Liu Xunyi, Qin Wei couldn't help but feel emotional. He put his hand on Liu Xunyi's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry! This time I will take you back to Tianji Pavilion. You have made such a great contribution. After you go back, you will definitely be promoted and favored by the world."
"I……"
"The Marquis asked me to tell you that now 'everything is ready, only the east wind is missing, so you can act according to the situation'." Qin Wei urged, "The Marquis also said 'if this is successful, the East Palace will be lucky! The Song Dynasty will be lucky! The people of the world will be lucky! Liu Xunyi has made great contributions and will surely be promoted.' Therefore, we must succeed this time and there must be no mistakes."
Liu Xunyi was secretly hesitant. Although he was completely unaware of Luo Tianjin's aspirations to be an emperor, Luo Tianjin's desire for power in the martial arts world and his tendency to get closer and closer to Prince Shao Qin made Liu Xunyi feel a little inexplicably uneasy. It seemed that the matter of recruiting Luo Tianjin was not as smooth as he had imagined.
"Brother Liu, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Liu Xunyi deep in thought, Qin Wei couldn't help but show curiosity, "Are you in trouble? Just tell us and we will help you solve it."
"Nothing... nothing." Liu Xunyi said perfunctorily, "I will follow the court's plan and do my best to persuade Luo Tianjin to accept the court's amnesty as soon as possible."
"By the way! Will there be trouble if Xunzhen knows your identity?"
Qin Wei's words awakened Liu Xunyi from her dream. After hesitating for a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know. Right now, I am full of curiosity about her and the young Prince Qin behind her. Now that Prince Ning has appeared, there must be some conspiracy."
"How to do?"
"Now Luo Tianjin trusts them very much, I dare not act rashly." Liu Xunyi hesitated, "The only way is... to respond to all changes with the same attitude."
"Well, that's fine! But the Emperor only gave us three months. So..."
"I understand." Liu Xunyi interrupted absentmindedly, "I'll find a way. Go back and tell the Marquis, so that he can rest assured..."
"I can't go back." Qin Wei pouted and said, "The Marquis asked me to stay in Luoyang City to prepare for the response."
"Well! Luo Tianjin's spies are everywhere in Luoyang City, so be careful." Liu Xunyi warned, "If it is not necessary, try not to appear in crowded places to avoid unnecessary suspicion."
"The same goes for you. We are about to complete our mission. I don't want you to fail and waste all your hard work."
"It's getting late, I have to get back as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Liu Xunyi put on the black scarf again, said goodbye to Qin Wei, jumped out of the broken courtyard, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
