The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Shangguan Wudi and Ye Honglei have temporarily ceased fighting, but the undercurrents between the various parties in the Central Plains are becoming more and more turbulent.

Before this, Wu Haoran's pursuit of Fang Xun had always been the focus of attention from all parties.

After learning that both Wu Haoran and Xue Linlang's combined efforts had failed, people became even more agitated.

Fang Xun's existence made both the imperial court and the Confucian school extremely embarrassed, and the awe and fear in everyone's hearts became less and less as time went by.

After the Qingyang Palace's headmaster Fuyouzi left for Tianyin Mountain, the Master and the Cangyun clan were unable to interfere with the outside world, and the news that the Buddha and the Taoist Patriarch were suspected to have passed away spread like wildfire.

The news spread rapidly in all directions as if it had wings.

In less than two months, the news spread all over the world and there was an uproar.

All of a sudden, some people began to get excited.

A big part of the reason why Luo An's new court still inspires awe and fear is that everyone is afraid of the existence of the realm of gods and demons.

Although most people in the world may not even have heard of the realm of gods and demons, any force with a Zhenwu master in charge not only knows of their existence, but also knows that the Master and others are still alive.

But now the news has come out that Master and others are unable to interfere with the outside world, which suddenly reduces the awe in their hearts a lot.

But before everyone could digest this explosive news, another major event happened that shocked the world.

In November, the King of Zhao in Dongyu and the King of Shu in Sichuan simultaneously sent troops to attack Luoan.

The imperial court seemed to have expected this and was not surprised at all. A large number of troops had already been dispatched to the border for defense, and a number of Zhenwu masters were also stationed there.

The war was about to break out, which made everyone imagine.

Everyone knows that the King of Zhao and the King of Shu are supported by Buddhism and Taoism, which means that the rumors of the split between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are not rumors!

For a while, the armies of both sides were in a stalemate, and the fighting between the Zhenwu masters remained at a certain level, seemingly in the initial test stage.

A month later, war broke out in Dongzhou.

The Qingshan Gang and Tianfeng Tower stopped pretending and joined forces with many Zhenwu masters to directly raise the banner of rebellion.

Within ten days, they occupied the entire Dongzhou, and then continued to attack Yuzhou, fighting fierce battles with the imperial army.

Coincidentally, something happened in Xifu, which had been gradually forgotten.

Prince Liang, who had been missing for many days, appeared in public again and announced his independence. The army of Prince Liang's palace attacked with thundering force, and the prefectures and counties along the way surrendered one after another.

In less than a month, they completely conquered the four states of Western Prefecture, which made people wonder whether this was a long-planned plan.

Accidents occurred in Dongzhou and Xifu one after another. It was like a spark falling into an frying pan, which directly ignited the situation.

After learning about this, a few Zhenwu masters from other parts of the Central Plains also followed suit.

They are not as arrogant as those like King Liang, but they all use the banner of the imperial court to overtly or covertly erode the government and expand their influence.

At one time, dragons and snakes emerged in the Central Plains, smoke of war rose everywhere, and the situation began to become chaotic. Not only were there many military leaders everywhere, but even bandits began to increase in number.

As each party took action, they all simultaneously cast a glance towards Jiangnan.

However, Jiangnan was unusually peaceful, with people everywhere recuperating, as if no matter how fierce the fighting outside was, it had nothing to do with them.

It was just after the New Year and heavy snow was falling from the sky.

As a hint of paleness appeared in the sky, wisps of white smoke rose in Jianye City.

The burning coal brought a touch of warmth to the people in the city during the severe winter.

In the bedroom, Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong, who had been fighting fiercely all night, got up and started washing.

The two men who had been fighting all night long still looked energetic.

After washing up, several maids also set a table full of medicinal food.

Fang Xun sat down at the table and ate heartily while casually sighing, "It seems that other places are gradually becoming chaotic. I hope the war won't spread to Jiangnan."

Three months had passed before they knew it. Public schools were built all over Jiangnan like mushrooms after rain, and a large number of school-age children enrolled.

If Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong had not frantically searched the house and seized a large amount of silver and resources, it would have been impossible to fill the huge money-sucking pit of the public school.

The Yinyue Sect and Caixia School also officially settled in Wuzhou, and everything was back on track. Many female disciples entered government offices.

Yang Shi and Yue Mingyu have recently started thinking about setting up a chamber of commerce to do business, and are currently in the stage of investigating the market conditions.

Xing Shanxun and his group from Miaojiang had started their return journey a month and a half ago.

After the map of Dangshiwandashan and the household registration list were handed over to him by Xingshanxun.

Fang Xun and his team carried out infrastructure planning based on these data, and spent more than half a month discussing and designing before finalizing a preliminary plan.

Afterwards, Quezhou brought a group of officials, sorcerers, Xing Shanxun and others to the Miaojiang royal court.

There were seven people when they came, and more than a thousand people when they left, and they were in a grand procession all the way out of the city.

Fang Xun thought back to recent events and felt indescribably happy, as if the seeds planted by the farmers had taken root, sprouted, and grown vigorously, waiting for a good harvest.

For a time, all aspects of Jiangnan were booming, and the war did not reach their place, which made Fang Xun, who was watching the fire from the other side of the river, sigh.

Yu Jiaolong, who was also enjoying breakfast nearby, rolled her eyes at him when she heard this.

"The world is in such a mess, and it's all because of you."

Fang Xun smiled when he heard this, but didn't respond.

It is not entirely true to say that it was all his responsibility, but he also had some contribution to the split between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

It was because of him that Huijue realized that something was wrong with the Master and the others. Not long after that, the Taoist sect also began to become suspicious, and the situation gradually developed to the current state.

However, neither Yu Jiaolong nor Fang Xun were worried that their territories would be dragged into the war.

Now, of the three parties bordering Jiangnan, Xiangxi and Miaojiang are already in a state of lying flat and fighting.

Huangzhou in Donghai belonged to the imperial court.

But the imperial court is now being besieged from three sides and is busy suppressing dishonest local forces, so it really has no energy to provoke Jiangnan.

Yu Jiaolong shook her head and said, "It's a pity that now is not the right time, otherwise I would really like to agree to the conditions of King Shu and King Zhao and attack together."

Before taking action, the King of Shu and the King of Zhao also sent envoys to Jianye, hoping to form a temporary alliance and send troops together to destroy the imperial court first.

However, Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong were busy farming and did not want to start a war at this time, so they refused.

The peaceful gesture they showed also greatly relieved the imperial court.

Otherwise, if Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong really joined the siege, the court would be completely hopeless.

"I hope the court can hold out a little longer."

Yu Jiaolong laughed and said, "Instead of worrying about the court, it's better to worry about whether the Master will force his way through the pass to deal with us rebels.

It is said that even a rotten boat has three-inch nails, and the court is not a rotten boat. Not only does the Confucian school fully support the court, but the four families of Ji, Chen, Su, and Cui among the seven families can no longer sit still, and they have allocated money and sent experts to support the court. "

"Support the court?
Haha, it's just wearing the same pants with Confucianism!"

Fang Xun showed a playful smile.

If it weren't for the full support of four of the seven families among the thirty-six clans, the Confucian school would have had a hard time facing the siege from the King of Zhao, the King of Shu and Dongzhou.

The two of them ate and chatted, and soon they had finished the entire table of medicinal food.

After breakfast, Yu Jiaolong went to do her official business.

Fang Xun, who had nothing to do, came to the yard and dispersed all the servants. Then he sat cross-legged and entered the martial arts hall and pushed open the sixth door.

I have been communicating with Maha Ye for three months. It is time to defeat him and unlock the next character. (End of this chapter)
