Chapter 802: Hunting for King Guangling
The competition between Deng Tai'a and Su Mingzhe has a long lead-in time because they need to improve their sword power.
But in a real confrontation, the winner is decided in a flash.
The people who were watching the battle from a distance just saw a dazzling sword light shooting in all directions, and then they saw that both sides had 'sheathed their swords'!
Deng Tai'a put the small sword back into the yellow pear wood sword case and said with a sincere smile:
"Your Highness, with this sword, you are more than capable of standing out from the crowd!"
Deng Tai'a believed that his swordsmanship was the most lethal, but even he couldn't break Su Mingzhe's "Golden Bell Cover".
Even less so for others.
"Thank you, Sword God Deng, for your guidance!"
When Su Mingzhe heard Deng Tai'a's words, he did not feel arrogant or conceited.
As a Daluo Jinxian, resisting the attack of a person in the Great Finger Profound Realm is really nothing to be proud of.
What's more, Deng Tai'a only fought one round with him.
Neither side really got angry, so it’s a bit too early to say who will win or lose!
Unfortunately, Deng Tai'a did not know what he was thinking.
Deng Tai'a only felt that Su Mingzhe was not only highly skilled and talented, but also had a good character, and could be treated as a friend.
Since the fencing competition was over and he had not won, Deng Tai'a was proud of his status and said nothing more. He rode his donkey and headed towards Shu.
Su Mingzhe also left, leaving behind a group of spectators who were still talking about the competition that had just taken place.
Ever since the Liyang Dynasty unified the nine kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, the two most famous people in the martial arts world in the past ten or twenty years have been Deng Tai'a, the Peach Blossom Sword God, and Cao Changqing, the invincible official.
After Deng Tai'a became famous, those free-spirited female knights especially liked to walk through the streets with a branch of peach blossom in their hands.
Later, Cao Changqing became famous, and more swordsmen in the martial arts world began to learn to wear the green robe.
Now, at the age of over 20, Su Mingzhe blocked Deng Tai'a's sword.
Once the result of this confrontation spreads, I'm afraid those young men in the martial arts world will follow suit.
Shangyin Academy, Dayi Lake.
Su Mingzhe returned to the attic, but found no trace of the sisters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong.
"Ran?"
Su Mingzhe looked at the empty attic, a slight smile flashing in his eyes.
These two women really know nothing about the methods of the powerful.
He actually thought he could escape from the palm of my hand!
Su Mingzhe immediately sat cross-legged, released his primordial spirit, and extended his consciousness in all directions.
Soon, he had found a basic tune within a mile radius!
Unfortunately, no trace of the two women was found!
Afterwards, Su Mingzhe expanded his spiritual awareness to ten miles away!
At this distance, the entire Shangyin Academy is already covered by the soul.
However, there was still no trace of the two women.
For some reason, Su Mingzhe felt something in his heart, and immediately launched his soul into the air, expanding the power of his spiritual consciousness to the maximum.
In an instant, he had sight of every blade of grass and every tree within a hundred miles.
"not yet?"
Su Mingzhe looked around the area of 100 miles, but his spiritual sense search yielded no results, and he could not help but frown:
"It's only the time of an incense stick. Even if the sisters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong had wings, they probably couldn't fly a hundred miles away."
"I guess Xu Xiao has sent other people to rescue us!"
Su Mingzhe guessed correctly.
The sisters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong were being carried by the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva and were flying rapidly towards the south.
Liuzhu Bodhisattva and Deng Tai'a appeared together, but one was in the light and the other in the dark.
After the six-pearl Bodhisattva and the other two had their energies intertwined, he quietly came to Dayi Lake by water, picked up the two sisters, and flew all the way south.
Su Mingzhe failed to detect the aura of the three people, not because of anything else, but because the number of caravans and pedestrians rushing in all directions from Shangyin Academy suddenly increased more than ten times.
With so many people watching, by the time Su Mingzhe had identified the auras one by one, the three of them had already left Shangyin Academy beyond the horizon.
It has to be said that the rescue plan formulated by Li Yishan did take all aspects into consideration.
The three of them left Shangyin Academy at sunset and flew until midnight. They flew south for nearly three thousand miles and came directly to the territory of Zhao Bing, the King of Yanla in southern Xinjiang, and then landed.
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva was flying with the two of them, and more than half of his magic power was consumed. His originally fair and charming face was now slightly golden.
Xu Zhihu couldn't help but ask:
"Master, why do we go south instead of Beiliang?"
You should know that the Jiangnan Lu family is to the east of Shangyin Academy, and the Beiliang Palace is to the northwest of Shangyin Academy.
The Tai'an City, which is known as the safest city in the world, is located in the northeast of Shangyin Academy.
To the south of Shangyin Academy is the old land of Western Chu.
After hearing Xu Zhihu's question, the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva smiled faintly and replied:
"The Third Prince is much stronger than me, and he is also very fast! If I take you back to Jiangnan, Beiliang, or Tai'an City, I'm afraid he will catch up with us before dawn!"
"The King of Beiliang has devised a plan to have the Peach Blossom Sword God provoke the Third Prince. We took the opportunity to head south, which is also the opposite of what they were doing. After a while, when the Third Prince has given up the search, we will return to Beiliang!"
Not to mention, Liuzhu Bodhisattva took the two sisters to a random city in southern Xinjiang to live in.
On the other side, Su Mingzhe saw the sisters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong running away, so he used his soul to fly high in the sky, searching west, north and east all night.
Until the next morning.
Su Mingzhe was unable to find the two sisters' traces, and he was immediately filled with anger: "If I want to catch Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong, I have plenty of ways to do it."
"But now, I have other things to do, so I can let them be happy for two days!"
"Wait a few days, when I've finished my other things, I'll suddenly appear in front of them. I'm sure they'll be shocked!"
Su Mingxue is now addicted to the game of 'cat and mouse' and chooses to temporarily give up pursuing the Xu Zhihu sisters.
Afterwards, he flew along the Guangling River towards Guangling County in Jiangnan Road.
When Western Shu was destroyed, the people of Shu believed that they had four major enemies.
The number one enemy is naturally the Li Yang Dynasty.
The second enemy is the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao.
The third enemy was the traitor Zhao Changling from Shu who led people to break through the pass.
The fourth enemy is King Guangling Zhao Yi.
The first three enemies were mainly caused by the hatred of the destruction of the country and the loss of the family.
After Western Shu is restored, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities to retaliate.
The fourth enemy, King of Guangling Zhao Yi, is the devil that the people of Shu hate the most.
Zhao Yi, the emperor's younger brother, followed Xu Xiao to pick up the leaks, and was also responsible for accepting and appeasing the people.
Zhao Yi's way of appeasing the people was to rob the queen, princesses and concubines of the fallen country and bring them all under his own command.
Xu Xiao destroyed six countries, and Zhao Yi snatched away the queens of two countries, as well as countless princesses and concubines!
When the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, the concubines in the harem would rather be killed by Xu Xiao's men than fall into Zhao Yi's hands.
The villain Zhao Yi, because he failed to seize the Queen and concubines of Shu, simply took out his anger on the people of Shu.
After one night, the capital of Shu, which originally had a population of 500,000 to 600,000, was almost completely slaughtered overnight.
In the entire Western Shu, there were originally three million households, but after Zhao Yi left with his army, only two million households were left.
With such a deep blood feud, Su Mingzhe would naturally not let him go.
Su Mingzhe flew for only an hour and arrived in Guangling County.
But when he stepped into the Prince of Guangling's palace, he looked at the empty palace and his expression changed:
"Could it be that even the fat guy Zhao Yi, the Prince of Guangling, has run away?"
Su Mingzhe took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, reached out and grabbed a servant in the palace, and found out after asking him.
Ten days ago, Prince Guangling Zhao Yi received an imperial edict from the capital, and then ran to the capital!
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Call the steward of your palace!"
Su Mingzhe's brow was shrouded in gloom, and murderous aura filled the sky.
After a while, the frightened deputy general manager of Guangling Palace came running over with a sad face.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Third Prince!"
"you know me?"
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that this deputy general manager actually knew him even though he hadn't introduced himself. He was filled with doubts and immediately had some guesses.
The deputy steward did not dare to hide it, and kowtowed and begged for mercy while preaching:
"In reply to your Highness, ten days ago, the prince suddenly received a message from the capital, asking him to rush to the capital, saying that an enemy was coming to visit him! Before the prince left, he ordered me to stay and guard the palace."
"After the prince left, I was afraid of death, so I sent people to inquire around. Then I found out that you, the Third Prince, had captured the two daughters of the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao, and killed more than a dozen Zhixuan Realm masters sent by Xu Xiao to rescue the two princesses!"
Su Mingzhe did not expect that after staying in Shangyin Academy for a month, his whereabouts had already been known by the top leaders of Liyang Dynasty.
However, he did this on purpose.
After all, if he wants to restore his country, he must make a name for himself.
Without fame, he couldn't gather talented people around him, so he could only do small things and live in seclusion.
Now that Prince Guangling has received the news, it is normal for him to flee in advance.
Although Su Mingzhe was unwilling, he was not in a hurry to catch up.
"Take me to the treasury of Prince Guangling!"
When Western Shu was restored, it would inevitably involve marching and fighting, which would require money to support it.
Su Mingzhe came to seek revenge on King Guangling, and also wanted to rob King Guangling of his gold, silver and treasures.
When the deputy manager heard Su Mingzhe's request, his face turned pale and he kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Third Prince, before the prince left, he took away all the rare treasures in the palace!"
"That evil thief Zhao Yi has been plundering the people's wealth for so many years. How could he take away all the wealth in such a hurry?"
Seeing that the deputy general manager was actually being cunning, Su Mingzhe was too lazy to continue asking him questions. He simply reached out and grabbed him to search his soul!
After searching his soul, Su Mingzhe got the answer directly.
For the sake of his own life, Prince Guangling Zhao Yi actually went to Tai'an City.
However, Zhao Yi also knew that it was unrealistic to carry a large amount of gold, silver and treasures with him in order to get to Tai'an City quickly.
In the end, Zhao Yi chose to openly repair the plank road while secretly passing through Chencang. He himself, under the protection of two hundred cavalrymen, rode at full speed to the capital.
He left his son Zhao Biao behind and took two thousand cavalrymen to transport gold, silver and treasures to Longhu Mountain to temporarily avoid the conflict!
In order not to leave any gold or silver for Su Mingzhe, Zhao Biao kept packing up the gold, silver and treasures, and set out five days later than his father Zhao Yi.
After Su Mingzhe learned where Zhao Pi had gone, he couldn't help but look happy:
"The gold, silver and jewels of the Guangling Palace were packed into hundreds of boxes and transported in hundreds of carriages..."
"Isn't that the convoy I just encountered on the road?"
