Chapter 173 Changes in the Capital
Hearing the old man mentioning the name of Murong Daoye, the current Taiwei and the God of War, the surrounding villagers showed some fear and anxiety.
They had just heard a story before, but it was a taboo in the Qian Kingdom to discuss the affairs of the day.
What's more, it also involves the old affairs of the previous dynasty and the four major clans.
The old man seemed to realize that what he just said was too much, so he waved his hand and said: "Today's chapter has been finished. Everyone, please go back."
Many villagers left, and some of them frequently looked back at the old man with a bit of suspicion in their eyes.
The old man sighed in his heart and said to himself: "He can hardly stay in this Misty Rain Village any longer."
"This Yu Wenmao is really a despicable person, worse than a pig or a dog. It's so abominable!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but curse.
Chen Tang couldn't help but glance at her.
Lu Qing was seen clenching his hands into fists, his eyes were slightly red, and he did not hide the resentment in his eyes.
According to what the old man said, this Yu Wenmao was indeed hateful, but as a listener, Lu Qing's emotions were a bit strong.
Changsun Ming, Lu Qing, and Yuwen Heigou also turned and left.
The three of them had their own thoughts and were silent along the way. They didn't even notice that Chen Tang didn't come back with them.
Changsun Ming was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Actually, what the old man said may not be true. If Emperor Wu is really as good as you say, why did he lose the support of the people?"
Lu Qing immediately said: "Emperor Wu is so good!"
"Compassion does not control troops. If he is really so kind, he would not be able to create an army as powerful and disciplined as the Tiger Army and Longxiang Iron Cavalry. The old man's words are probably a mixture of truth and falsehood, with some exaggeration."
Chang Sunming shook his head, still unwilling to believe that there could be such a kind-hearted emperor in the world.
"What he said is true!"
"How do you know?"
"How do you know what others say is false?"
"Alas."
Seeing that Lu Qing and Chang Sun Ming were about to quarrel, Yuwen Heigou suddenly sighed.
From the time he went to the entrance of the village to now, he had remained silent. It was only now that there was a movement, which attracted the attention of the two people.
"What the old man said is not an exaggeration."
Yuwen Heigou said calmly: "There are even some things that he hasn't told everything yet."
"Oh?"
Chang Sunming looked surprised.
Yuwen Heigou said: "As far as I know, the Wu Dynasty was light on corvee and low on taxes, resting with the people, and the people were prosperous. From the court to the market, everyone can practice martial arts, and there is no need to grovel in front of officials. Officials and servants cannot be ignored. According to the law, people can move freely across Kyushu, and Emperor Wu has never lost the support of the people."
"At the beginning, if Emperor Wu had not persisted in the southern expedition and later defended the Snow Mountains, most of the Tiger Army and Longxiang cavalry were killed in the battle, leading to the change in the capital and the death of Emperor Wu, other heroes may not have had a chance."
"Emperor Wu was very lenient towards the common people and the surrendered generals."
"But he is strict in running the army, and he also has an iron-blooded side in his treatment of the green forest and rivers and lakes. That's why he can create an army of tigers and warriors, a dragon and horse cavalry, and can even level the martial arts world."
Lu Qing snorted softly and said, "Emperor Wu is just too kind. If he had been more ruthless and followed the advice of the counselor beside him and killed Yu Wenmao and Murong Daoye, there would have been no betrayal later."
Changsun Ming defended: "At that time, Emperor Wu died, the Wu Dynasty was exhausted, and the world was in chaos. After losing his deer, all the heroes chased it. Murong, the God of War, was among them. He had the intention to chase the deer, so he did nothing wrong. Xia Jiang and his soldiers After the defeat, he personally escorted the seriously injured Emperor back to the capital."
Yuwen Heigou said: "Compared with Yuwen Mao, War God Murong is naturally much better, but whether he is ashamed of Emperor Wu or not, only he himself knows."
"Hey, where is Begonia?"
"It seems he didn't come back with us."
……
At the entrance of Yanyu Village, under the old locust tree.
All the people around him had left. Except for the old man, Chen Tang was the only one left.
"Little brother, why don't you leave?"
The old man glanced at Chen Tang and asked lightly. Chen Tang smiled and said: "I am interested in the stories told by my seniors and would like to listen to a few more passages."
"Oh?"
The old man was noncommittal.
What he just said about the former Emperor Wu has aroused some people's suspicions. In case of accidents, he has to leave today.
In this misty rain village, the young man in front of him is the only person worthy of his attention.
He had secretly observed that the breathing technique practiced by this young man was very similar to the "Dragon Capturing Technique".
The sword skills practiced in the former army could only be practiced by some senior generals!
I just don’t know who this young man learned from.
After all, Yu Wenmao, as the former military leader of Longxiang, also knew these techniques.
"What do you want to hear?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
the old man asked.
Chen Tang asked: "What forces were besieging the capital at that time? Did Emperor Wu die in the capital?"
He once made a very bold guess that the guest in the mountain was the former Emperor Wu!
But there are two doubts about this guess.
As soon as they came, Emperor Wu was already dead.
Secondly, if Emperor Wu is still alive, he should be over a hundred years old.
The mountain guest looked to be in his forties or fifties.
There is still a possibility of explanation for the second doubt.
After all, this is a world with mystical masters and mystical arts, so there is nothing wrong with staying young forever.
What's more, the guest in the mountain is a great master. He has found a unique way to practice the Dragon and Tiger Pill, and it is indeed possible to be dozens of years younger.
But how to explain the first doubt?
Therefore, he wanted to know even more whether Emperor Wu was dead or not.
What happened then.
Why is everyone sure that Emperor Wu is dead?
The old man said: "At that time, in addition to the Yuwen family, the Murong family, and the Thirty-six Qushuai of the Xuantian Sect, those who besieged the capital were."
Chen Tang was a little confused when he heard this, and asked one after another: "The Murong family also besieged the capital? Didn't the God of War Murong Daoye also betray Emperor Wu? How is it different from Yu Wenmao?"
"Who are the Thirty-six Qushuai of Xuantian Sect?"
The old man explained: "There were two Murong clans at that time, one of which was headed by Murong Daoye, and the other was headed by Murong Zhong. The one who joined forces with Yu Wenmao was Murong Zhong's clan."
"At that time, there were still many members of Murong Zhong's clan in the capital. Even though Murong Zhong besieged the city, Emperor Wu did not kill his clan members, but still tried to persuade them with good words."
"But these tribesmen wanted to cooperate inside and outside, and assassinated Emperor Wu in the city. In the end, their deeds were exposed, and Emperor Wu killed them all."
Chen Tang asked: "Where was Murong Daoye during this period?"
The old man said: "Murong Daoye retreated to Yanzhou and never came forward. It was not until Emperor Wu died that he came out to compete in the world."
Chen Tang asked: "Where is this Murong Zhong now? It seems that I have never heard of his name in the court."
The old man said: "Shortly after the city was broken, he died suddenly. Some people say that the ghost of Emperor Wu claimed his life, but the specific cause of death is unknown."
"As for the Thirty-Six Qu Commander, he is the leader of the Thirty-Sixth Army under the Xuantian Sect, similar to a general."
Chen Tang was secretly speechless.
No wonder Xuantian Sect can stir up troubles in troubled times. In addition to relying on talisman water to cure diseases and save people, it has such a huge force!
