Chapter 284 The Matchmaker

After an afternoon, the East Suburb Plain gradually calmed down.

However, the shocking explosion that occurred during the day was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

But one wave is not flat, and another wave rises again.

The royal army broke into the Jiangnan Academy and arrested all the teachers and lecturers and threw them into prison to await execution!
As for the students in the academy, the black-armored generals did not make things difficult for them, they just drove them away. However, anyone who dared to resist was killed on the spot.

Most of these students came from aristocratic families in various parts of Jiangnan. If they were to kill them all at once without any discrimination, it would be a lot of fun.

bang-

With a noise, the gate of the academy closed and two seals were affixed to it, causing nearby residents and passers-by to point and talk.

Inside the palace, Fang Xun had already changed his clothes and was strolling leisurely in the courtyard with Old Man Mo.

"Tonight, Miss Zhaoning will hold a grand banquet and summon warriors from various factions and the noble families in the city who are coming to watch the ceremony. Are you really not going?"

After the storm, whether Yu Jiaolong was willing or not, the burden fell on her.

The position of King of Yue not only comes with power, but also with responsibility.

The top priority is to consolidate one's own position and reach a tacit consensus with other parties to stabilize people's hearts.

There are also all kinds of affairs within the palace, not to mention the Tianli Sect that is entrenched in Lingzhou next door.
There are a lot of complicated things that need to be sorted out one by one.

When Yu Jiaolong first returned home, she almost exploded, but now she can only look through files and documents in the study with a bitter face to get a general idea of ​​the situation first.

Social events such as entertaining various parties are inevitable, but Fang Xun is not willing to go. It is nothing more than daily activities such as winning over and pressuring others.

Instead of spending time scheming with others, it would be better to practice more. As long as you have the strength, others will naturally welcome you with a smile.

"Forget it. I am too lazy to go to such matters. After a while, when the affairs of the palace are sorted out, I will return to Jiangzhou."

After hearing this, Old Man Mo was surprised and asked, "You just left like that?"

Fang Xun glanced at Old Man Mo and felt that there was something else behind his words.

"This is not my home. If I don't leave, am I going to live here forever?"

Old Man Mo's expression suddenly became subtle: "Haven't you ever thought that this couldn't be your home?"

Fang Xun's expression became subtle when he heard this. He didn't say anything and just stared at the old man.

Old Man Mo was frightened by him: "Why are you looking at me?"

After a while, Fang Xun finally spoke jokingly, "Old man, why didn't I realize before that you have the potential to be a matchmaker?"

"Haha, why? Zhao Ning, that girl, has excellent family background, status, character, martial arts, talent and appearance. She is a rare good match in the world. Don't you think so?"

Old Man Mo smiled and said without any more witty remarks, and went straight to the point.

Fang Xun just smiled and said, "Have you mentioned this to her?"

"Not yet. I don't know what that girl is thinking. She has very high standards. Apart from you, who else in the young generation in the world can catch her eye?"

In response to Old Man Mo's words, Fang Xun just shook his head: "Then you should ask her first before coming to me."

After saying this, he stopped paying attention to the old man and prepared to go back to his room to practice.

Old Man Mo looked at his back and shouted hurriedly, "Do you agree?"

"What's the point of agreeing to something that has not even started yet?"

"Hey, kid, don't leave yet."

When Old Man Mo saw Fang Xun was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted that he wanted to catch up with him.

Just at this moment, a few figures happened to pass by the courtyard. When they saw the two people in the yard, they immediately greeted them.

"Brother Fang, Senior Mo!" Fang Xun stopped and turned around, and saw three familiar faces.

The black-armored general, the short and fat old man and the dark and thin man. He had met the three of them when he rescued Yu Jiaolong in the Corridor Mountains before.

Behind the three men, there was a team of black-armored soldiers. It seemed that they had just returned from copying Jiangnan Academy and were about to find Yu Jiaolong to report the details.

In Jiangnan Academy, the only masters worth noting are Wang Zhengde who is at the Yangshen realm and the two masters who were captured on the Dongjiao plain before.

Now that the three of them were finished, the royal army came to search their house without encountering any decent resistance.

"General Xiao Zhen, Seniors Cheng Wantao and Wu Jun, have you just returned from Jiangnan Academy?"

Fang Xun also walked forward and greeted him in a familiar manner, and Old Man Mo on the other side also walked forward and responded casually.

"There are many things to do in the palace, and the princess is still young. You three will have to take on more responsibilities in the future."

After hearing this, the three of them hurriedly said, "We dare not, we dare not, it's all our job."

The Palace of the Prince of Yue, located in Wuzhou, is the center of the eight states. Although it does not interfere in military and political affairs at will on weekdays, it controls the military and political power of the eight states and serves as a supervisory body.

All of this relies on the private army and retainers who represent the military power of the royal palace.

The Prince of Yue’s Palace has 10,000 private troops under its command, divided into five camps, collectively known as the Jiangnan Guard, which is the number one army in Jiangnan.

The selection and training of every Jiangnan Guard soldier is extremely strict. Unless you have mastered the art of communication, you are not qualified to join the Jiangnan Guard. All soldiers are elite.

In case of emergency, the King of Yue would dispatch the Jiangnan Guards and take over the military power of the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River.

The black-armored general, whose surname was Xiao and whose name was Zhen, was the acting commander of Jiangnan Guard at that time.

The reason why the word "代" is added is because the previous commander was Yu Jiaolong's elder brother.

After a riot, the Jiangnan Guards lost 1,700 men, including many talented fighters, and even the commander was killed.

Not only the Jiangnan Guards, but also a group of masters from the Prince of Yue's Palace suffered heavy losses.

Originally, there were nine Yin God masters in the palace, not counting the old King of Yue, the Yang God, including Yu Jiaolong's clansmen and their followers.

And now, Yu Jiaolong is the only descendant of the Yue King's lineage, and among his followers, there are only two masters, the short and fat old man Cheng Wantao, and the dark and thin man Wu Jun.

For a while, their strength had fallen to the bottom, so Fang Xun and Old Man Mo were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they planned to stay with Yu Jiaolong for a while, and then say goodbye and leave after things were on the right track.

After exchanging a few words with Fang Xun and Old Man Mo, Xiao Zhen and his companions excused themselves and left, continuing to walk deeper into the palace.

Looking at the group's backs gradually going away, Old Man Mo smiled and said to them quickly.

"I know that this may be a sudden thing for you, but the girl really needs you now."

However, Fang Xun's eyes were always fixed on the figure that was gradually going away. Even when he heard Old Man Mo talking, he did not move his eyes away and spoke without turning his head.

"So you want me to help her, but in the end I end up helping her and becoming her husband. I don't think this is a good idea."

Old Man Mo was speechless when he heard this.

"I say, kid, why don't you wake up? Even if you don't consider other things, you still have to plan for your future!
You have already achieved the status of Yin God Grandmaster, and it is estimated that even Yang God cannot stop you, but you rely on countless resources. You should understand the importance of resources such as elixirs and spiritual rice to warriors!"

Fang Xun still didn't turn around, but asked calmly: "Old man, what do you want to say?"

Old Man Mo said calmly: “For us warriors, spiritual rice and medicinal food are indispensable in our daily diet, and elixirs are our lifeblood.

I don't know where you got those two precious pills, but they must not be many.

After you are promoted to God's Will, you can make rapid progress with the help of this precious pill and the resources you exchanged from the Six Gates with your great merits. In a short period of time, your strength will be improved to the point where you are qualified to be ranked at the top of the Earth Ranking.

But what about later?"

At this time, Fang Xun finally frowned and turned to look at the old man.
