The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 260: Congratulations on the Green Forest Ranking

The cold wind was howling and the snow was falling heavily.

Before we knew it, it was already the end of the year. The north wind was howling, bringing heavy snow all over the south of the Yangtze River.

In an instant, the sky and the earth in the eight states and 113 prefectures of Jiangnan were all white.

The harsh winter was always the most difficult to endure in previous years, but this year, it made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

The Tianli Sect, which had been making great waves in Lingzhou, also calmed down a little with the heavy snow.

Fang Xun, who had just returned to Jinling Prefecture, almost thought at first that he had taken the wrong road. He did not come to Jinling Prefecture, but to Chunyang Prefecture, which was thousands of miles away and uninhabited.

At first, the several villages he passed by were all empty, which scared Fang Xun. He thought that the Tianli Sect had come to Jiangzhou.

But after a closer look, we found that it was a normal migration.

Then along the way, he saw groups of pedestrians, dragging their families and carrying large and small bags, walking westward along the official road in the heavy snow.

This reminded Fang Xun that to the east was Lingzhou, where the Tianli Sect was entrenched. The people were in chaos and were busy migrating with their families, fearing that they would be affected by the war.

Looking at the city of Jinling in the distance, Fang Xun felt that this ancient city had become more desolate, and it was unclear when it would return to its former prosperity.

After gazing at Jinling City from afar for a while, Fang Xun did not enter the city. Instead, he held the hand of the child beside him and walked towards the nearby Ying Town.

Ying Town seemed to be unaffected by the depression of Jinling City. There were still people coming and going here, but there were many more warriors from other places. Many of them were from big sects, and now they all came to Jinling City.

In the dark room, although Old Man Mo had gained an extra hundred years of life after breaking through to the Yang God stage, he still liked to leisurely sway in the recliner when he had nothing to do.

Suddenly, Old Man Mo, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked stunned.

"It's that boy's scent."

In an instant, Old Man Mo disappeared. The warriors along the way only saw a fleeting black shadow, and they all wondered if they had seen it wrong.

Old Man Mo flew at a high speed and suddenly rushed into a hill near Ying Town. He soon saw two figures, one big and one small. They were Fang Xun and the young master.

The young master tightened his fur coat and looked at the strange uncle with curious eyes, wondering who he was.

When Old Man Mo saw the young master, he was stunned and his face turned strange. He looked at Fang Xun and said, "Boy, do you know that you are on the Green Forest Ranking? Your head can be exchanged for several Grandmaster's secret skills?"

This time it was Fang Xun who was stunned: "What have I done wrong? I just haven't sent him back to the palace yet. Why is he on the Green Forest List? Is there something wrong with Yu Jiaolong in the palace?"

Because he had an extra child to take care of, Fang Xun's pace slowed down significantly.

During the journey from Wuzhou to Jiangzhou, he never entered the city. He took the young prince with him, enduring the hardships of eating wind and drinking dew, and wading through mountains and rivers. It took more than a month to reach Jinling City.

When he first heard that he was on the Green Forest List and became a wanted criminal by the government, he realized that something must have happened in the palace, otherwise with Yu Jiaolong there, he would not have been wanted.

"How long has it been since you last went into the city?"

Old Man Mo was shocked when he heard this.

"I haven't entered the city since I killed Duan Qingran, for fear that I would be found by a Zhenwu Realm master like the King of Yue."

Ever since he learned that the King of Yue was killed by a Zhenwu Realm cultivator, Fang Xun has become like a frightened bird, not daring to show his true face in front of people.

But he still had the token that Heishuiyuan wanted. He couldn't possibly expect the other party to be abiding by martial ethics and only send Yin and Yang gods to search for him.

If he encounters Yang Shen, Fang Xun still has a chance to escape, but if he encounters a Zhenwu strongman, he can suffer less by committing suicide quickly.

Old Man Mo was speechless for a moment. He looked at Fang Xun, then at the young master, and after a long while he spoke, "You came to me probably to settle him down, right? Come on, settle this child down first and then we can talk slowly."

"Then trouble you."

Fang Xun frowned unconsciously when he heard this. He immediately realized that there were some things that Old Man Mo was not convenient to say in front of the children, so he agreed without hesitation.

At this time, the young master said timidly: "Uncle, don't you want me anymore?" Fang Xun explained softly: "For a period of time, you will listen to the arrangements of this uncle. After your aunt and I have dealt with your family affairs, we will take you home. Be good and obedient."

At this time, Old Man Mo also teased, "Boy, don't you recognize me? I held you in my arms when you were a child!"

The young master looked at Old Man Mo with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Who are you?"

Old man Mo chuckled, and his facial muscles moved, and suddenly his face was covered with dense wrinkles. When the young master saw this, he immediately shouted excitedly, "You are Grandpa Mo!"

"Hey, listen to grandpa, grandpa and brother won't hurt you."

After coaxing the young master for a while, Old Man Mo took him away. Fang Xun waited quietly there, frowning and thinking in his heart.

"Something must have happened to Yu Jiaolong!"

At the same time, he was glad that he was extremely cautious and did not go directly to the Prince of Yue's Palace.

About half an hour later, Old Man Mo appeared in front of Fang Xun again. He asked calmly, "What happened?"

Old Man Mo sighed and began to tell a story.

"A month ago, after Yu Yatou returned to the palace, she killed her nephew Wan Qingfeng, and then wanted to kill his second brother Wan Zhaohua.

But other people who happened to rush over saw that Wan Zhaohua was only vomiting blood and seriously injured, and then Yu Jiaolong directly escaped from the palace. This incident shocked the whole Jiangnan region!
As for you, you had been traveling with Yu Jiaolong before, and later killed Duan Qingran, a servant of the palace, so you were considered to be Yu Jiaolong's accomplice.

Because of her special status, Yu Yatou is not on the Green Forest List, but you kid, hehe"

Fang Xun's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. When Old Man Mo finished speaking, he immediately asked in a serious tone, "Old man, is Sixingtang all right?"

Old Man Mo sneered and said, "Don't worry, no one else is implicated. After the incident, Dong Yunchuan wanted to raid your house, but I, an old man, stopped him."

Fang Xun nodded. He roughly understood the current situation. Yu Jiaolong was on the run, and he was on the Green Forest List and became a wanted criminal.

However, it is only aimed at him and will not implicate other people in the Sixingtang.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun said with a playful look on his face: "Do you believe that Yu Jiaolong will really do this?"

Old Man Mo sighed and said, "Of course I don't believe it, but it's useless for me to not believe it. You have to make other people in the court not believe it either, especially the clan officials.

Originally, after the King of Yue got into trouble, the Ministry of Clan immediately dispatched an elder of the royal family who was at the Yangshen Realm to Wuzhou to preside over the judgment of the next candidate for the King of Yue.

He had just arrived at the Prince of Yue's mansion ten days ago, and the incident with Yu Jiaolong had happened on the way, so he immediately decided to hold a grand ceremony on an auspicious day ten days later, so that Wan Zhaohua could officially take the throne!"

Fang Xun's eyes narrowed: "Wait, you said Wan Zhaohua can inherit the throne, has he broken through the divine will?"

The 47 states in the Central Plains covered a vast area, so the royal family appointed six vassal kings to rule the four directions. The one who ruled the south of the Yangtze River was the King of Yue.

Although the throne is inherited by the son after the father's death and by the younger brother after the elder brother's death, there is an iron rule within the royal family that no one can challenge: without God's will, one has no chance of becoming king.

The only divine being left in the lineage of King Yue was Yu Jiaolong, who had fled abroad and lost her right to inherit the throne because she had committed the crime of killing her nephew and brother.

As a result, there is no one in the lineage of the King of Yue who can inherit the throne, and this iron law is still in effect.

In this case, the Royal Family's Clan Office would select a divine realm master from other branches to be adopted into the lineage of the King of Yue to inherit the throne of the King of Yue.

The royal family enfeoffed six princes in order to stabilize the local area and deter the villains. Of course, it would not work without strength. At least one had to be a master of Yin Shen.

When a prince in the state of enlightenment deals with local masters and grand masters, he can't help but feel that he is inferior to them and what's the use of him.

At this time, Old Man Mo was also stunned and asked in confusion: "You don't know?
Not long after the King of Yue was killed, Wan Zhaohua was so agitated that he broke through the divine will."

Having said that, he suddenly realized something.

"No! There's something wrong with Wan Zhaohua!"
