Chapter 602 No. in the world
"let's go."

Chai Xin looked at Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, and took them away.

Duan Yu helped Mu Wanqing walk a few steps, then turned back to look at Yue Lao San and suddenly said, "Disciple, come to Dali City to see me in a month. Otherwise, you will be betraying your master and ancestors."

Yue Laosan was still secretly rejoicing that he could finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering, but when he heard these words, he trembled and a bitter look appeared on his face.

Duan Yanqing didn't understand what was going on. When he heard this, he looked between Duan Yu and Yue Lao San in surprise.

Even with his intelligence, he couldn't understand why Yue Lao San would take a kid who looked less than 20 years old as his master.

"Huh, got it."

Yue Lao San hesitated for a while, but finally responded.

This made Duan Yanqing even more surprised, but he just looked at the two of them a few more times and did not ask anything.

He also had some concerns about Chai Xin's strength and background. Now that Yun Zhonghe was dead and Ye Erniang was not around, Yue Laosan's behavior was a little weird, so he didn't want to create any more trouble.

Afterwards, Chai Xin protected Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing and returned to the previous town.

"Brother Chai, you saved me again this time. I really don't know how to thank you... Otherwise, come back to Dali with me. My father will definitely treat you well."

The three of them were still sitting at the tea stall, and Duan Yu said with gratitude.

Chai Xin waved his hand and smiled, "This is just fate between you and me, don't take it to heart. I won't go to Dali for the time being, I plan to go to the Central Plains to have a look."

Duan Yu was about to say a few more words of persuasion when Mu Wanqing, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Could this Brother Chai be the benefactor that Duan Lang mentioned earlier, who has saved your life several times?"

"That's right, Sister Wan. Including today, Brother Chai has saved me three times. It's no exaggeration to say that his kindness is as heavy as a mountain."

Duan Yu was introducing the two people, and when he mentioned Mu Wanqing, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Brother Chai, this is Miss Mu Wanqing. We have already decided to spend our lives together..."

As soon as he said this, Mu Wanqing's pretty face hidden under the veil became visibly red.

"Brother Chai, you not only saved Duan Lang several times, but you saved me this time... I have no way to repay you for your kindness. Please accept my greeting!"

As she spoke, she forced herself to stand up and bowed to Chai Xin despite her weak body.

This girl was originally trained by her master, who was also her mother, to hate all men in the world, and her personality was very eccentric and strange.

However, since she regarded Duan Yu as the person to entrust her life to, some subtle changes have taken place.

Now that Chai Xin had just saved her life, and he was the savior of her beloved Duan Lang, she naturally showed unprecedented tenderness and respect.

If it were anyone else, especially a man, Mu Wanqing probably wouldn't even look at him for a second. Even if she spoke, it certainly wouldn't be nice, let alone this kind of attitude.

"Miss Mu, I'm afraid your injuries are serious, so don't do this kind of courtesy. Brother Duan, I think you should help my sister-in-law get treated first, otherwise it might be bad for her injuries if we leave in a hurry."

Chai Xin reached out his hand to lightly support Mu Wanqing, then spoke to Duan Yu in a serious tone.

Duan Yu immediately supported Mu Wanqing, who was about to fall, and said worriedly, "Brother is right. But in this remote village, I'm afraid it's hard to find a good doctor, let alone good medicine..."

"It's okay. I ran into a few disciples of the Shennong Gang earlier. After treating them, I got some healing medicine from them."

As Chai Xin spoke, he took out a few porcelain bottles from his robe sleeves and placed them on the table.

"I also know a little bit about medicine. With the help of my internal energy, I should be able to stabilize my brother and sister's injuries within three to five days."

"This……"

Mu Wanqing was still a little hesitant after hearing this. Using internal energy to heal injuries would inevitably involve some physical contact, which she found extremely difficult to accept.

If these words were not spoken by her and her lover's savior, if they were spoken by any other man, she would probably turn hostile immediately and even draw her sword to chop him.

"If big brother is willing to lend a hand, that would be great!"

However, before Mu Wanqing could say no, Duan Yu was the first to agree.

Chai Xin didn't think much about it, and still said with a smile: "Let's find a place to stay first. My sister-in-law is injured and it's not suitable for her to walk around outside."

The three of them left money for tea. There was no inn in the town, so they finally found an empty house, paid the owner some silver, and stayed there.

There was no melodramatic scene in the healing process where one had to take off clothes, and in order to avoid danger, Duan Yu watched the whole process from the side and also provided some assistance.

With the help of Chai Xin's internal strength and the healing medicine of Shennong Gang, Mu Wanqing's injuries had recovered by more than half after two or three days.

Although his strength has not yet fully recovered, at least his movements are no longer affected.

Five days later, outside the town.

"You can ride this horse. It's not a good horse, but it can at least serve as a support."

Chai Xin led an old mixed-haired horse over with a faint smile on his face.

Duan Yu waved his hands and said awkwardly, "How can this be possible? Big Brother, you have finally bought a horse and you have to travel thousands of miles to Lin'an. If you give us this horse, what will you do?"

"Well, take it if you give it to me. With my lightness skill, thousands of miles is nothing to me. I am just trying to practice my skills while traveling! Besides, if I get tired, I can just find a big city on the road and buy a horse."

Chai Xin stuffed the reins into Duan Yu's hands without saying anything.

"You two are not as good as me in martial arts, and my sister-in-law is injured. It's more than 200 miles to Dali. If we walk there, it will probably take five or six days. If you encounter danger on the way, it would be fine if you don't care about your own life, but don't you care about the safety of my sister-in-law?"

After saying this, he stepped on the ground and took off into the sky like a roc, flying seventy or eight feet high in an instant.

"Take care on your journey, and see you later!"

After leaving these words, Chai Xin, dressed in a black robe, disappeared at the end of the road.

"Brother is truly the best person in the world."

Duan Yu looked at the direction where Chai Xin disappeared, and couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.

The first time he stepped into the martial arts world, he encountered many sinister things in people's hearts, but among all this darkness, there was a light that could not be concealed - Chai Xin.

This light not only illuminated the way for him, but also made him feel extremely warm.

Mu Wanqing was also very moved. She nodded and said, "If we hadn't met this time, I wouldn't have believed that there is such a man in the world. I'm sure even Master would admire him greatly if he saw him."

"Hahaha, Wanmei, luckily I met you first, otherwise I'm afraid all your thoughts would be on big brother."

Duan Yu suddenly started joking with a smile.

Mu Wanqing immediately raised her eyebrows, stretched out her bare hand and twisted his arm, her eyes wide open as she said, "Nonsense!"

"It hurts, it hurts... Sister Wan, I was just joking! Well, it's getting late, we have to hurry..."

So, the two of them mounted their horses amidst laughter and playfulness and headed for Dali City.

One month later, Song Dynasty, Lin'an Prefecture.

"The merchant woman knows not the hatred of the lost country, and still sings the song of Hou Ting Hua across the river. How dare these literati and poets push the hatred of the lost country onto innocent women?"

Standing under a weeping willow tree by the brightly lit river, Chai Xin looked at the night scene of the Song capital, and sighed softly. Although he did not belong to this world, and was more like a passer-by, looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, and thinking about the various sufferings of the people he had seen along the way, he still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

There are many seemingly true and false histories in this world, which is a "stitched" worldview.

The current world situation is that the Song Dynasty is in the southeast, the Jin and Qing Dynasties are in the northeast, and the Mongols are in the northwest.

In terms of economic strength, the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly the strongest; in terms of military strength, it is the Mongols in the northwest.

Jinqing is the most balanced, with good economy and military strength, but neither can be called the strongest.

The world was in a three-way balance of power, with checks and balances between the three countries, and conflicts breaking out from time to time.

More than fifty years ago, the Song Dynasty was still the most powerful, or it could be said to be the only orthodox dynasty in the world.

However, due to the incompetence of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, as well as various problems in the political system and natural environment, internal and external troubles occurred.

Jin and Qing and Meng Yuan were originally two vassal states of the Song Dynasty, but they secretly accumulated strength and even formed an alliance.

Finally, taking advantage of the civil strife between the emperor and his civil officials in the Song court, the Yuan and Qing dynasties joined forces to launch a war, which ultimately caught the Song court off guard.

The successive defeats in the wars forced the emperor of the Song Dynasty to flee with his ministers, and eventually they crossed the Yangtze River, lost their northern territory, and rebuilt the capital in Lin'an.

Although it was still called "Song", its territory was reduced by more than half.

This has many similarities with the history of the Song Dynasty that Chai Xin is familiar with.

As for the Yuan Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, they also have similarities with the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty that Chai Xin is familiar with.

However, overall there are more differences.

Many characters that originally did not exist in history, the most typical of which are those in martial arts novels, exist here and have influenced the course of history.

Chai Xin walked slowly on the street, constantly looking at the surrounding scenery, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the imperial city, as if someone was fighting.

Although it was about seven or eight miles away, Chai Xin had strong internal strength and extraordinary hearing, so he could hear something.

"Escort me, protect me quickly!"

"Catch up with that thief, don't let him get away!"

Waves of shouting from the palace guards continued to ring out. Although not clear, Chai Xin could still make out the general idea.

"It looks like there's some excitement going on. I might as well go take a look."

Chai Xin came to Lin'an, of course, not to see the prosperity of Kyoto.

In fact, he has seen even the most prosperous interstellar civilization planets, so why would he care about the style of a feudal dynasty city?

He came here just to have fun.

Or to be more precise, it is to encounter the masters in the novels and participate in the plot.

The Seal of Creation had long told him that if one wanted to reverse the operating rules of a world, or even steal its way of heaven, the most effective way was to interfere with its normal operation.

In other words, it changes the plot.

The more the plot deviates from its original trajectory, the more chaotic the rules governing the entire world will become, until it finally becomes a runaway wild horse, completely out of control.

Only when the rules begin to fail to control the world, will the Seal of Creation be able to take advantage of the situation, take over, and ultimately take control of the entire world.

Chai Xin rose from the ground without hesitation, stepped on the palace wall and flew towards the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.

"Don't let him get away, the Queen Mother is still in his hands!"

"Hurry up and chase them! If the Queen Mother is abducted from the palace, all of us will lose our heads!"

A large number of guards came from everywhere, and some experts were flying up and down on the rooftops, chasing after several black-clad figures who were running wildly with quilts in their hands.

"Wow, it's so lively!"

Chai Xin immediately dodged and hid under the eaves, secretly looking at the people chasing him in the distance.

The actual situation was more complicated than he had imagined. Someone had actually kidnapped the Queen Mother!
"Kidnap the Queen Mother... I seem to have seen this plot somewhere before?"

Chai Xin was stunned for a moment, his brain started working rapidly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Number One Under Heaven! It's the plot of the TV series Number One Under Heaven!"

"The Number One Under Heaven" is a martial arts TV series, whose historical background is the modified Ming Dynasty, but it was unexpectedly stitched together by the author of "Heroes of the Times".

If Chai Xin could not determine that this was "Number One Under Heaven" based on just a few sentences of information about the Queen Mother being abducted, then the appearance of a person later made him immediately certain.

"You are a bunch of good-for-nothings. Even the Queen Mother was kidnapped. What's the point of keeping you? If you can't rescue the Queen Mother, I will chop you all into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

The voice was neither male nor female, so shrill that it made one's scalp tingle.

Under the dim light, one could see a figure dressed in eunuch's attire, with his fingers pinched like an orchid, flying across the roof in anger.

"Lord Cao, the thief has fled to the southwest!"

Almost at the same time, a guard leader shouted loudly.

"Cao Zhengchun?!"

This Governor Cao’s appearance and figure were almost exactly the same as in the TV series, and Chai Xin recognized him at the first sight.

The Queen Mother was abducted, and it was Governor Cao. If you say that these are not the plot of "The World's Number One", then there are too many coincidences.

"If it's really Cao Zhengchun, I really can't barge in rashly. That old guy's skills must be at least more than fifty years. With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't withstand more than ten moves."

Chai Xin's thinking was as fast as lightning and he made a decision quickly.

He did not rush to the crowded place, but flew directly away from the palace.

Then, he quickly grabbed a patrolling yamen runner and took him into a narrow alley.

"Has an envoy from Izumo come to Beijing recently?"

Chai Xin placed a long sword on the guard's neck and questioned him in a cold voice.

The yamen runner had been dragged into the alley like a chicken by him, and had long been frightened out of his wits. Upon hearing this, he immediately replied in a trembling voice, "Yes!"

"Where do the envoys from Izumo live?" Chai Xin continued to ask.

The yamen runner swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Of course...it was...in the posthouse!"

"Tell me how to get to the posthouse!"

The bailiff was afraid of being silenced, so he answered very quickly and described the whole route clearly.

Chai Xin knocked him unconscious with a palm, then flashed and quickly went to the place he described.
