The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 242: Strange Letter from Home

Time flies, and another five days have passed.

But the city of Jinling was visibly covered with a layer of dark clouds. Anyone who came here could find that the smiles on the faces of the people in the city were much less.

The super flood that broke out in Lingzhou really scared a lot of people. The key point is that Lingzhou is right next to Jiangzhou. Who knows whether the problem with the water veins there will affect Jiangzhou.

Jinling Prefecture is geographically close to Lingzhou. If any unexpected incident occurs in Lingzhou and spreads to Jiangzhou, Jinling Prefecture will be the first to be affected.

Although the government repeatedly posted notices to inform the people in the city that the disaster in Lingzhou would not affect Jiangzhou.

This is indeed the case. The flood broke out in the central area of ​​Lingzhou and spread to the surrounding low latitudes.

The Nulong River on the Jiangzhou side is considered the upper reaches of Lingzhou. Unless the flood in Lingzhou is ten or a hundred times larger, the flood will never reach Jiangzhou.

But since the news reached Jinling City, there are still people who choose to leave Jinling with their families and go elsewhere every day, making the already depressed Jinling City even more deserted.

Yu Jiaolong sighed as she looked at the horse-drawn carriages carrying goods on the east street of the city.

"The flood in Lingzhou affected the entire Jiangnan region."

She had no idea what the situation was in Lingzhou, but she was certain that the bureaucratic system there had been completely paralyzed.

Among the dozen prefectures in one state, only five located in the peripheral circle still exist, while the others close to the center have been submerged by floods.

Hundreds of millions of people died in this disaster, and when the flood came, only those with strong divine power and a few fast and intelligent warriors could escape.

Yu Jiaolong felt melancholy, and when she thought of another letter from home that she had just received not long ago, her face suddenly became gloomy.

She walked towards the direction of the Sikyōdō mansion and soon arrived nearby.

Squeak—squeak—

Hearing the sound of the axles turning beside her ears, Yu Jiaolong raised her head slightly and saw that at the gate of the Sixingtang Mansion, a number of horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods were slowly driving towards the city gate.

"Haha, even this guy is going to run away"

Yu Jiaolong couldn't help but smile after seeing this. She knew that Fang Xun was not worried that the flood in Lingzhou would affect Jiangzhou.

He must have noticed something was wrong, so he decided to move Sixingtang ahead of schedule.

Before she knew it, Yu Jiaolong walked to the door, and immediately a doorman or servant saw her and came forward to greet her respectfully.

"Master Yu has arrived, please come in!"

Yu Jiaolong nodded: "I have something important to discuss with your master, take me to see him as soon as possible!"

"Okay, sir, please follow me."

Led by the doorman and the servant, Yu Jiaolong went deep into the mansion and soon arrived at the courtyard where the attic where Fang Xun and others lived was located.

However, Yu Jiaolong felt something was strange. The closer Fang Xun's mansion was to his residence, the fewer disciples and servants there were.

When we got near the courtyard, there was almost no one to be seen. It seemed like some kind of forbidden area.

"It seems this guy has quite a secret."

However, Yu Jiaolong just thought about it casually and did not think about it deeply. Everyone in the world has secrets.

This is especially true for a genius like Fang Xun, who achieved the status of Yin Shen Grandmaster before the age of twenty. If he said he had no secrets, no one would believe it.

But secrets are other people's secrets, and Yu Jiaolong doesn't care. When she enters the courtyard, she sees a swift figure moving and flashing above the open space, as if he is practicing a set of boxing.

Dongfang Que, Yan Ming and Bai Wufeng were all standing aside, watching intently, and only came to their senses when Yu Jiaolong came to them.

"Jade"

Yu Jiaolong raised her hand to stop talking and watched Fang Xun practice boxing with great interest.

The opponent's moves were slow and loose at one moment, as if he had no strength, and at another moment they were as fast as thunder and lightning, showing his masculine and domineering nature.

But in Yu Jiaolong's eyes, Fang Xun's boxing skills contained a special charm, a perfect combination of yin and yang, and a natural beauty.

Gradually, she began to understand something and was slightly surprised.

'Fang Xun actually figured out the step of turning Yang into Yin in such a short time!'

After a warrior's Yin Spirit is born, nature and man become one, and every move he makes is empowered by the power of heaven and earth.

The Grand Master of Yangshen can even release Yangshen and chase souls thousands of miles away.

The process of transformation from Yin God to Yang God is called Yang transformation of Yin God.

Although the two realms of Yin Shen and Yang Shen are still under the great realm of Divine Will, the difficulty of crossing is not as great as from Innate to Divine Will, but it is not that simple either.

Basically, as long as you step into the Yin God for a period of time, you can find the step of Yin God becoming Yang, but it is also very difficult to completely transform into Yang God.

What surprised Yu Jiaolong now was that Fang Xun had reached this point less than half a month after breaking through the Yin Shen realm.

Although her punches and kicks did not cause the energy to vibrate and affect the surrounding environment, she could feel the mellow yin and yang meaning in them.

This is to integrate spiritual will into the moves, making the vitality of the world around the body seem to come alive.

Compared to just breaking through the divine will, simply mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to attack the enemy, the power of the attack is three times greater.

Just as Yu Jiaolong was surprised, Fang Xun suddenly stood up with his fists closed. After a long sigh, he felt indescribably refreshed. In five days, he had digested most of what he had learned from the four Yin Shen masters in the martial arts hall, and the rest was just the grinding skills.

However, with the memories of the four people's martial arts insights, it would take only half a month at most to completely digest it.

And the "Thirty-Six Wonderful Moves of Fantastic Techniques" has been mastered. Whenever Fang Xun performs publicly in the next period of time, he will show this martial art to others.

At this time, he turned to look at Yu Jiaolong, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I wonder what important matter the commander has for your visit?"

When Dongfang Que and the other two saw them, they went straight into the attic without disturbing their conversation.

Yu Jiaolong didn't bother to be polite and just sat down on a nearby stone bench, her face suddenly becoming gloomy.

"I really have no other choice, so I came to you for help this time."

As she spoke, she took out a letter and placed it on the stone table.

"This is my letter from home. You are very perceptive and should be able to see some problems."

Fang Xun frowned when he heard this, his heart was in turmoil, and he intuitively smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"Yu Jiaolong's letter home, could it be that something big happened in the Prince of Yue's Mansion, and at this critical time, could it be that Black Water Abyss is making big news again?"

As he thought of this, he picked up Yu Jiaolong's letter and started browsing through it. After just a few glances, his pupils suddenly shrank. After he finished reading, his expression became solemn and he looked at Yu Jiaolong and said.

"The letter was sent by your second brother, and there is also this signature. Are you sure it was not forged by someone else?"

"It couldn't have been forged by someone else, because there are some secret codes in it, and it can be confirmed that it was written by my second brother himself."

Yu Jiaolong said with a suppressed expression.

"As the letter said, my elder brother took the risk of bringing his troops to attack the palace in an attempt to seize the throne and seal.

Although the rebellion has been suppressed, there have been heavy casualties in the mansion, and my mother is dying and in a coma, relying only on medicine to keep her alive. My eldest brother’s only son, who was only nine years old, has also been lost in the chaos and is nowhere to be found.”

After hearing the other party's confirmation, Fang Xun's face was filled with shock.

"But this is simply impossible. Your father is still alive and well. Besides, your eldest brother is the eldest son. Even if the throne is passed on in the future, it will definitely be his. Why would you do such a thing?"

Yu Jiaolong said with a heavy face: "This is exactly what's strange. My eldest brother is not that kind of person at all, and he has no reason to do that, so I came to discuss this with you!"

Fang Xun sighed and said, "It's just a letter. There are too few clues. Even if I have great ability, I can't figure it out, but there must be something fishy."

"This is just a farce, but it caused heavy casualties in the Yuewang Mansion. However, if we consider that the biggest beneficiary is the murderer, there may be something wrong with Yu Jiaolong's second brother."

He only thought about these in his heart. After all, he was his biological brother, and it would not be nice to speak them out rashly.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Jiaolong's eyes, but she quickly composed herself, looked at Fang Xun and said in a deep voice.

"Fang Xun, I rarely ask for help from others, but could you please go home with me this time?"

Fang Xun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Wuzhou with you after I finish my family matters!"

Yu Jiaolong immediately showed gratitude and said, "Thank you very much. No matter what the result of this matter is, your trip will not be in vain!"

Fang Xun waved his hand and said, "That's too polite. We are more or less friends."

"Anyway, thank you very much!"

After saying a few more words, Yu Jiaolong left in a hurry.

Fang Xun looked at her back, his mind immersed in the martial arts hall.

In the parade ground, he conjured up a map of Jiangnan and looked towards Lingzhou.

The reason why he agreed to Yu Jiaolong was that he felt something was wrong.

Not long after the super flood broke out in Lingzhou, something happened to the Prince of Yue's Palace again. Moreover, it was such a clumsy farce that it was obvious that there was something wrong at a glance.

Fang Xun looked at Lingzhou on the map of Jiangnan, as if he had realized something, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Lingzhou is located in a very delicate geographical location, with Jiangzhou to the northwest, Wuzhou to the east, and Linzhou, which is located on the border of Miaojiang, to the south.

Now a super flood has broken out in Lingzhou, and the bureaucratic and military systems have been completely paralyzed.

Jiangzhou had just experienced the incident in Chunyang Prefecture and was in urgent need of cleaning up the mess, so most of the state’s troops could not move lightly.

At the border of Linzhou, the Miaojiang royal court had an army of 800,000 stationed at Chenguan, forcing the King of Yue to go to the border in person.

And just recently, something happened in the Prince of Yue's Palace in Wuzhou.

If Lingzhou relapses again, Jiangzhou, Wuzhou and Linzhou will not be able to spare enough manpower to provide support in a short period of time.

And the White Lotus Mother may still be in Lingzhou, hiss——"

Thinking of this, Fang Xun couldn't help but gasp.

'If this madman personally leads the followers of the Tianli Sect to revolt in Lingzhou, they will be able to take over the remaining five prefectures in Lingzhou quickly, as if they were in an empty land.

If other places in Jiangnan want to support Lingzhou, only Huzhou in the north can help!
I hope I'm just worrying too much'
