Young man, please stay

Chapter 346 Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu

"It's obvious that Chanzhen Temple has long been prepared to cut ties with Chankong. It's hard to accuse them of rebellion. If things go as expected, Chanzhen Temple will send another team soon, but this time they're not looking for trouble, but are here to apologize and atone for their sins."

Everyone present agreed with Qin Lang's words.

Although it was the first time for them to hear the word "cutting", they all understood the meaning of the word at the first time.

"Zenzhen Temple... Why do they care so much about the strange phenomena in the world..."

The empress frowned and thought:

"And it's not just Chanzhen Temple, the same is true for Wuliang Mountain. But why is it that this time the phenomenon is even more powerful than the last time, but the bull noses are silent... Speaking of which, Master was quite disdainful of Wuliang Mountain and Chanzhen Temple back then. Could it be that Master knows something... or do they know something about my Yaochi?..."

……

These things were complicated and confusing, and one problem after another arose. Just as a cup of tea had passed in the conference room, someone from Tingyuxuan suddenly came with a message, reporting the situation on the southwestern border to the empress.

……

"Is there a war?"

Qin Lang asked.

"Ah."

The empress said "hmm", then looked at the letter for a long time without saying anything.

The others did not interrupt and waited silently for a long time, then Su Yupan said quietly:
"It's not an unprovoked provocation, it was premeditated. We marched quietly to the border of Yizhou this time, but we didn't expect to be attacked as soon as we arrived. It was said that the southwestern tribes formed a coalition army."

"Allied?" Qin Lang frowned. "Then it must have been planned long ago. How is the battle going?"

"Battle situation..."

The empress nodded, then bit her lip and shook her head.

Everyone looked at each other. After Su Yupan was silent and dazed for a while, Qin Lang gently took her hand:

"Baby?"

"Uh?"

Su Yupan came back to his senses:

"Oh, over there... Tsk... Because someone helped, the coalition's surprise attack didn't have much effect."

"Anyone help me?"

"Yes, on the one hand, people from the Tianhe Sect came, and on the other hand, it is said that someone informed the Southwest Army and the Tianhe Sect of the coalition's movements in advance."

There is no clue as to who reported the news in time. Qin Lang is more concerned about Tianhe Sect. When he heard that Tianhe Sect was helping, his heart tightened:
"Tianhe Sect... Will Lingyue be in danger?"

"Why are you panicking? As the leader of a sect, they are just reinforcements. It's not easy for her to go down in person... Besides, she has the protection of the elders, so don't worry about it."

Su Yupan glanced at Qin Lang. Qin Lang felt a little guilty being looked at, but there was nothing he could do. How could a woman who really cared about him not care just because he felt guilty?
So Qin Lang asked again:
"I'm not worried about Lingyue. She still has some martial arts skills. What about Xuan'er?"

"Nonsense, she's a personal maid following the master, why would you have to worry about her?"

"Hey... this..."

Come to think of it, Qin Lang smiled awkwardly:
"Even if she's just a personal maid, you still have to fuck her...after all, we all know each other."

"hehe."

He worries about every woman he meets, right?

The empress didn't bother to pay attention to him, because looking at the expressions of the princess and Gu Jin at the table, if she ignored him, there would be many people who would pay attention to her, so she decided to talk about business first.

"There is another piece of news, which is not good news."

This news was the reason why the empress shook her head.

"Despite the help from the Tianhe Sect, the Southwestern Army still encountered setbacks in the battle because it was said that there were several experts on the coalition side."

"Master?"

Can foreign martial arts produce masters?

Qin Lang couldn't really imagine how high it could be, but what really made everyone present realize the seriousness of the situation was the empress's next sentence.

"The skills used by those masters are quite strange. The reason for this is that they clearly combine the characteristics of Central Plains martial arts... This is something that has never been seen in the southwestern foreign countries before..."

Hearing about the "Central Plains Martial Arts", everyone immediately perked up their spirits. The empress then said:

"During a battle between him and an elder of the Tianhe Sect, it was discovered that his strange skills were very similar to the legendary Pure Yang Wuji."

"Chun Yang...what...?"

Su Yinping tilted her head to look at Gu Jin, who had never heard of this either. She turned to look at Qin Lang, who was frowning and biting his nails when the princess slapped him hard with her jade hand:
"How old are you? Still chewing?"

"Oh, I'm thinking..."

"I've finished chewing it. What did you come up with?"

"Not yet, I'll try another one." "It's no use even if you eat all of them!"

Su Yinping slapped his hand away again. Qin Lang smiled cheekily and grabbed her hand again:

"It's no use chewing mine, you have to chew something more delicious."

"go with!"

Su Yinping ignored him since he was not getting down to business yet. But in any case, even Qin Lang had never heard of any martial arts called "Chun Yang Wuji" in the Central Plains.

Empress Su Yupan expressed her understanding:
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" is one of the peerless skills of Wuliang Mountain."

"Wuliang Mountain?"

Several people's minds turned, and they instantly realized some possibilities. In the end, Qin Lang was the first to speak out:

"Wuliang Mountain colluded with the southwestern foreign states? Hiss... Or is it that Wuliang Mountain was behind the foreign states' invasion?"

"..."

The empress did not comment, but it was obvious that she also had this guess in her mind, and it was very likely.

But just like this Zen Kong incident, with only the current clues, there is no way to do anything about Wuliang Mountain.

"A Wuliang Mountain, a Chanzhen Temple... They claim to be indifferent to worldly matters, but who knows how many purposes and thoughts they have hidden..."

At this point, Su Yupan's mood suddenly became heavy.

Because she suddenly discovered that the Great Zhou, at least the Great Zhou under her rule, might not be as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. The undercurrent surging underground might not be limited to external enemies, and there were even more unimaginable hidden dangers within.

And this so-called internal hidden danger is not the court struggle like the regent's, so much so that after discovering that Wuliangshan is colluding with foreign countries, Su Yupan still cannot figure out their purpose and position.

Wuliang Mountain, Chanzhen Temple…

Two of the three top sects in the martial arts world have disturbing problems. It’s really scary to think about it.

Therefore, the Tianhe Sect, which was the only one among the three sects that competed with the imperial court in the business field, was actually lucky.

At least the founder of this sect and the Empress were from the same lineage, and they were originally sisters, and now because of a certain man, they were even closer...

……

"Baby."

Qin Lang was also thinking:
"How long do you think it would have taken for Wuliangshan to collude with foreign countries?"

"I don't know, but it should have happened after the last ceasefire between the two sides."

During the time of the previous emperor, the southwestern countries were pacified and the battles were sweeping all the way. At that time, there were no "foreign masters".

"In other words, the collusion happened not long ago, or even in the last one or two months? If so..."

This time, Qin Lang did not chew his fingers, but came up with some speculations that made everyone's mind brighten:

"Then Wuliang Mountain is colluding with the foreign enemy... Could it be that it is not for some independent purpose, but is related to the strange phenomenon of the sun and the moon shining together?"

Thinking in this direction, the empress's thoughts became a little simpler.

“But didn’t they say that Wuliang Mountain did not react to the strange phenomenon this time?”

The princess asked a question:

"The one who came to cause trouble was Chan Zhen Temple, and the one who colluded with the foreign enemy was Wuliang Mountain. These...are not related at all?"

"No, this is easier to tie together."

Gu Jin pursed her lips and slowly took over the conversation:
"If we consider Chanzhen Temple and Wuliang Mountain to be the same, or the same kind of force, then..."

"Correct."

Qin Lang nodded. This was what he meant.

If the Wuliangshan Zen Temple is viewed as a single force, then its response to strange visions, collusion with foreign enemies, hidden organizational structure, secretive behavior and other characteristics and phenomena will suddenly become clear.

Among the three sects, only the Tianhe Sect has always been out of place.

The other two sects, one Taoist and one Buddhist, do have many similarities.

The more people thought about it, the more they felt that the two sects were like "sister sects" or "brother sects". In short, no matter what, they seemed to have similar or even identical shameful purposes behind them.

"Collaborating with foreign countries... This matter is very serious, but it cannot be resolved all at once... The most urgent task is the war in the southwest. Those strange foreign masters can fight against the elders of Tianhe Sect without losing. In this case, I am afraid..."

When the empress said this, everyone actually thought of something, but no one spoke out, or didn't know how to speak out.

"Ha-uh~"

It is said that whatever you think of will come true.

At this moment, a little girl came into the meeting room, yawning and rubbing her eyes:
"I've had enough sleep~"
