Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 1981 Yujing Nobles (Subscription Request)

Meng Zhao and the northern martial arts world were completely unaware of what was happening in the south, as well as the master who was about to cross the river and come to the north.

At this time, it was the beginning of winter, snowflakes were flying, and the cold wind was like a knife, turning the sky and the earth into a pale color.

The undulating mountains in the distance are like a winding dragon, and the crisscrossing rivers nearby are like a group of pythons fighting each other.

Even the Yangwu Camp, which was always the busiest camp in Lingwu City, huddled in tents under the cold wind and snow.

The world is silent, all creatures are dead and dormant, waiting for their revival in the spring of next year.

As wind, frost and swords intersect, the dark side hidden in the city is hidden silently and unknown to people.

At night, at the end of the hour of Hai, dark clouds covered the moon, and the wind and frost were still blowing. Snow had already piled up on the ground a foot thick. People fell into snow pits when they stepped on it, and the trek was difficult.

However, there are several people walking leisurely in the wind and frost, on the snow, leaving no footprints. At first glance, it seems like a spooky night, which can scare people to death.

These people came to a place three miles away from the Meng family manor. Although the sky was dark and there was no light around, the lights of fireworks everywhere in the distant manor were as bright as stars and were still very conspicuous, making the visitors marvel.

"Hey, I've heard that Meng Zhaocai is very powerful. Since he moved into Mengjia Manor, he has made several modifications and expansions, turning this originally ordinary manor into a magnificent building with terraces and pavilions that is no less than the core area of ​​the inner city. Seeing it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation.

I don't know if he embezzled the military pay of the Yangwu Army. If we can verify this, it might be a great achievement."

This man was seven feet tall, with stern features, a broad and strong back, and thin clothes that formed an inverted triangle shape, making him look majestic and powerful.

His blood and energy were surging, and the snow falling from the sky that landed near his body was evaporated by the hot breath of his blood and energy, turning into white smoke and disappearing.

Therefore, along the way, my body was not stained with a single piece of snow, and I felt leisurely, comfortable and light.

However, his words were filled with hostility towards Meng Zhao, and there was even an intention to deal with Meng Zhao.

"Qiao Nian, we are visiting Meng Zhao today not because of the emperor's order, but in private. We must observe etiquette and not act rashly. Please keep quiet later."

The person who was speaking had a black lightning pattern between his eyebrows. He was a head taller than Qiao Nian, with thin cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and an extremely thin body. There was no visible muscle, and the skin was tightly attached to the bones, like a skeleton.

However, this person's cultivation is higher than that of Qiao Nian, and he is also the one with the highest cultivation among the four. Although he is not a master, he can vaguely show the aura of a master. Perhaps he can break through at any time, but he is just suppressing his realm and accumulating his foundation, waiting for the breakthrough.

He did not necessarily have good intentions towards Meng Zhao. He was more afraid of him and did not want the man named Qiao Nian to cause trouble.

"Well, Lao Liu, we are subordinates of the emperor and disciples of General Yu. This time, we are here under the emperor's order to investigate the murder of the prince.

No matter how powerful Meng Zhao is, he is just a touted figure in the martial arts world. Do you need to be so concerned?

I just don't believe that Meng Zhao dares to be rude to us?"

Qiao Nian, however, was rather disapproving. Perhaps, he was just too proud and had long been accustomed to looking down on others and giving them advice.

The four people sent by Yu Changkong to Mengjiazhuang this time are all top-notch masters with distinguished origins and extraordinary family backgrounds.

More importantly, they are all royalists and are loyal to the Beitang royal family.

Like Qiao Nian, he was born in the Xueyi Marquis Mansion in Yujing City. Within the Marquis Mansion, he is quite close to the military in the west and is a powerful aristocrat.

The current Blood Robe Marquis had been on good terms with Beitang Sheng before he ascended the throne, and they had a close relationship. This man, known as Old Liu, was named Liu An, and was born in the Inner Guards. He was highly qualified and had strong martial arts skills. Although his family background was the weakest, being only a fifth-rank official family, and not an aristocrat, he was valued by a prince because of his good potential and was recruited as a county horse master.

Of course it is impossible to lead troops to fight or participate in politics in the court.

But he was also accepted and cultivated by the Imperial Clan Court. Whenever the royal family had any tasks, Liu An was a reliable pillar.

It can be said that she has become a phoenix.

The other two people, wearing purple clothes, have handsome faces and are well-mannered. They seem to be scholars, including Yan Libing.

His father was the Minister of Rites, a palace official at the time, and an old acquaintance of Beitang Sheng and a trusted minister.

Yan Libing himself practiced Confucianism and was accepted as a disciple by a famous Confucian master of the previous generation. He had a bright future.

The last of the four and the shortest is Shi Jiawen. He is the son of the current General Huaiyuan and Princess Yufang, and the nephew of the current Emperor Beitang Sheng. He has the most noble bloodline among the four.

Each of these four people represents the noble system of Yujing City and is a loyal supporter of the Beitang royal family. In other words, they are inseparable from the royal family.

Although they were members of the noble system like the Meng family, the Lei family, and even the other nine families, they looked down on and despised these local nobles.

Firstly, they lived in the Imperial City of Yujing and were accustomed to prosperity. It was the center of China, rich in natural resources, and they had some of the arrogance of city dwellers.

Can city people look down on rural people?

Well, even if you are a billionaire, you are just a local tycoon and cannot be called a wealthy family. This is what some people think in their minds and it also applies to them.

Secondly, the nobles from other towns were never very loyal to the royal family, which made the people of Yujing City very uncomfortable with this.

Among the nine surnames and thirteen families, the Beitang royal family ranks first, while other families can be ranked on par with the Beitang royal family. It can be seen that this relationship, although nominally master-servant, is more like an equal cooperative relationship.

As for them, they were the ones who were truly attached to the Beitang royal family, so naturally they did not get along with these founding nobles and the forces that shared the royal family's profits. It could even be said that they were incompatible and confronted each other diametrically.

Meng Zhao was born into the Meng family, which they looked down upon.

Yet it has gained such a great reputation that it is sung all over the world and known to everyone.

This in turn arouses the jealousy and dissatisfaction deep in one's heart.

I thought to myself, noble people like us can only walk the dog, fight cocks and play crickets in Yujing City. How can you, a lowly person from an outside town, be famous all over the world?

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Of course, they would not accept Meng Zhao's title of being the twin peaks of the martial arts world and the unrivaled genius of China.

Beitang Xing was assassinated this time, and Beitang Sheng was furious. He first sent eunuch Zhan from the inner court to hunt for the murderer, and then sent eunuch Wuming and Yu Changkong with two experts to take over the matter and investigate the murderer.

Due to various relationships, these four people were added to this operation and followed Yu Changkong to the north.

The intention is simple, which is to use this action as an opportunity to hone their skills.

After all, any one of these four people has outstanding qualifications and abilities, and if they can break through to the Grandmaster level, they will be of great use.

For the Beitang royal family, which is now in a precarious situation, he is an object that needs to be cultivated.
