Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 8 The Four Disciples Go Down the Mountain
To the south of Beifeng City, hundreds of miles away, there is a mountain.

The name of this mountain is "Dumping Gourd Mountain". It is named because the mountainside is slender and the top and bottom are round, like an inverted gourd.

There is a sect on Daohu Mountain called "Yunshan School".

There are hundreds of disciples in the sect, who practice martial arts and hone their skills every day.

At the moment, in a practice field, several young men and women are getting together.

The oldest among them, a man in his thirties clenched his fists tightly: "Do you know, Junior Brother Xiaocheng is dead!"

"I know, the letter came last night and we all read it."

"Junior Brother Xiaocheng was actually shot and killed by his brother with a bow and crossbow. It's too cruel..."

"That one named Su Yuan! He's really vicious!"

Several people chatted in low voices, their words were full of indignation towards Su Yuan.

They are none other than Su Cheng's senior brothers and sisters. When Su Cheng was five or six years old, he studied martial arts on the Daohulu Mountain. They lived together for several years and had a close relationship.

Now that they learned that Sioux City was killed, they naturally shared the same hatred and were furious.

"We must avenge our little brother!"

"That's right, Su Yuan must be killed!"

"We must let him pay for his life for Junior Brother Xiaocheng..."

While several people were talking, suddenly an old voice came.

"Who are you going to kill?"

Several people were startled when they heard the sound, straightened their backs, looked to one side together, and said, "Master."

The person who came was an old man who was nearly a year old, wearing a gray cloth gown, and his long silver hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. Although his eyes were slightly cloudy, his vigor was extraordinary.

This person is their master, Layman Xuanzhu.

He glanced at a few people and said calmly: "It seems that you all know about Xiaocheng."

"Yes, Master."

Several people looked at the old man expectantly.

But the old man's next words made them both surprised and disappointed.

"From now on, no one can go down the mountain without my permission," Layman Xuanzhu said.

"Master! Why is this?!" The senior brother Chen Zilei, a man in his 30s, looked puzzled, "Brother Su Cheng was killed by someone, so we, as senior brothers and sisters, should sit idly by?!"

"Yes, Master, how could this be!"

"Isn't this chilling the hearts of the brothers..."

Layman Xuanzhu saw his disciples behaving like this, his face remained unchanged, and he just asked lightly.

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses Su Yuan has in his hand?"

"It doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses he has!" Chen Zilei raised his head, "As long as we disguise ourselves and infiltrate the palace, wouldn't it be as easy to get the head of that trash?"

"That's right, Elder Brother is now at the Ninth Level of Acquired Realm, are you still afraid of a pampered young master?"

"It's easy to say. Not to mention that the palace is heavily guarded and there are many checkpoints. Even if you kill someone by chance, have you ever thought about the revenge of the Zhenbei Army?" Layman Xuanzhu shook his head, "I don't allow this. Do not go down the mountain."

After saying that, the old man turned and left.

When several apprentices saw this, they were all depressed.

"Master is really pedantic!" One person couldn't help but said, "If you kill someone and leave no trace, who will the Northern Army know to take revenge on?"

"I think Master is too old and too steady..."

"Then senior brother, we...?"

Master has made it clear that he is not allowed to go down the mountain, but several people are unwilling.

Several people looked at senior brother Chen Zilei. The latter was silent for a few seconds, his eyes were fixed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master doesn't allow it, so let's cut it first and play later! Take the head of Su Yuan and come back, let's see what Master has to say!"

"Elder Brother is right!"

"I'll go with Eldest Brother!"

"But, will this..." A woman hesitated.

Chen Zilei glanced at her: "Second Martial Sister, since you are hesitant, stay on the mountain. It's just a good time to cover for us at Master's place!"

The woman opened and closed her lips slightly, as if she still wanted to dissuade them, but seeing that they had made up their minds, she swallowed her words and nodded slightly.

That night, led by senior brother Chen Zilei, a total of four senior brothers packed their bags and went down the mountain secretly.

They want to go to Beifeng City, sneak into Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to kill Su Yuan, and avenge their junior brother Su Cheng!

……

"Invitation?"

Su Yuan looked at the booklet that Chu Changning handed over, and took it for inspection.

Chu Changning said: "It was sent jointly by the five major families. I would like to invite you to have dinner at the Xinyang Tower in the city."

"Um……"

Su Yuan looked at the invitation card, and the content on it was nothing more than polite words such as "I admire His Highness's demeanor" and "It's an honor to invite His Highness to a banquet".

He casually threw the invitation on the table: "Chang Ning, what do you think?"

Chu Changning was able to become Su Tufeng's personal guard not only because of his strength, but because he was also very flexible and intelligent.

"My lord, my subordinates guess that the five major families may want to keep you safe."

"Oh?"

"Now there is no news from the capital, the five major families dare not act rashly. In order to protect themselves, they can only please the prince first."

"Well, it makes sense." Su Yuan said, "Then Changning, tell me, will they assassinate me during the banquet?"

Chu Changning was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head: "The five major families don't have the guts!"

"yes."

"The lives of their whole family, young and old, are in the hands of the lord, and they wouldn't even dare to borrow ten courage from them!"

"It is."

The family members of the five major families are all in Beifeng City. If they really dare to assassinate, let alone fail, even if they succeed, the next thing waiting for them is to kill the whole family.

Even a fool would not do such a stupid thing.

At this time, Chu Changning said again: "The Xinyang Tower is the largest restaurant in Beifeng City. It has a spacious place. If the prince is worried, his subordinates can deploy a hundred guards to guard the place in advance to eliminate all dangers."

"Haha, that's not necessary." Su Yuan said with a smile, "To ensure safety, why bother. I don't go to any restaurant, just let people from the five major families come to my house."

Caution is the boat.

Even if it was ensured that the five major families did not have the guts to assassinate, Su Yuan still had to be careful.

Compared to going to some restaurant for a banquet, the Zhenbei Palace is guarded and guarded by thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry, which is safer.

Chu Changning didn't expect this, and quickly agreed: "What the prince said is very true, I will send someone to notify the patriarchs of the five major families, and let them come to the palace for a banquet."

"Yeah. By the way, Changning, is there any movement at the Northern Xinjiang camp recently?"

"No." Chu Changning said, "My lord, are you worried that the emperor will bypass Beifeng City and issue orders to the Beijiang Camp to attack us?"

"There is this consideration."

"Please rest assured, my lord!" Chu Changning immediately said, "There are many colleagues in the Northern Xinjiang camp. They are as close as brothers to my subordinates and are willing to help my subordinates find out the news."

Su Yuan's eyes lit up: "You have internal support? That's not bad."

"However, my lord, the camp in northern Xinjiang is a trouble after all... Although many of the soldiers were once under the old lord's subordinates, after the old lord died in battle..."

Chu Changning hesitated, but Su Yuan understood what he meant.

Those soldiers were loyal to Su Tufeng, but probably had little affection for him, Su Yuan.

This is normal, Su Tufeng and those soldiers eat and live together, get along day and night, it's strange that they have no feelings.And he, Su Yuan, had never fought side by side with those soldiers, how could the soldiers talk about being loyal to him?Is it because he is Su Tufeng's son?
But Su Yuan didn't care.

He has summoned soldiers who are absolutely loyal to him, and this is what he relies on.

"If there is a chance, find the right time, and simply take down the Northern Xinjiang camp, so as not to worry about the future." Su Yuan suddenly said a word, which surprised Chu Changning.

"My lord, this..."

"Changning." Su Yuan looked at him meaningfully, "With the help of heavenly soldiers, I am invincible and invincible! What is a mere northern camp? Even the whole world will be in my hands sooner or later. "

Chu Changning was shocked, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, my lord."
