Chapter 232 Ruthless

"After leaving Tong Lao and Azhu, I used the Wind God Leg to travel. When I passed through Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Song Dynasty, I was suddenly caught up by someone. Then the other party clamored to compete with me in lightness skills." "

To be honest, I was a little confused. I was on my way, and suddenly someone said that he wanted to compete with me in lightness skills. Is this something a normal person would do?"

"But it's okay. This person is easy to talk to. I said I had something to do, and he didn't insist."

"This person is the third of the Four Famous Constables, Zhui Ming."

"The third of the Four Famous Constables, Zhui Ming, whose real name is Cui Liaoshang, likes to drink. It seems that he was weak due to a problem in his mother's womb, or he was injured since birth. In the end, the injury was healed, but his hands became weaker than normal people, but his legs became very flexible and strong, so he specialized in leg skills, and then, well, it was quite amazing. All his skills are in these two legs-" "

That's probably all I know. After all, I haven't read enough of Teacher Wen's novels."

"Among the characters I've met so far, there are only two who are from Teacher Wen's novels. One is Zhui Ming, whom I just met, and the other is Lian Nishang, who wanted to snatch me back to be her prime minister the moment we met." "

Speaking of Lian Nishang, I don't know what her situation is like now. Has she given up her original plan? It seems that apart from wanting to snatch me back to be her prime minister, she disappeared after being stopped by Tong Lao and has never appeared again."

"Forget her, let's not talk about her. Let's talk about Zhui Ming."

"I always feel that it's not that simple for Zhui Ming to catch up with me and compete with me in lightness skills."

"Although Zhui Ming's personality is a bit cynical, he is not the kind of person who would compete with others in lightness skills for no reason. Unless the other person has something that can attract him, such as fine wine, or a criminal - could it be that Zhui Ming mistook me for a criminal?"

"Thinking carefully about Zhui Ming's behavior after meeting me, it seems that there is really such a possibility - Tsk!"

"Speaking of the Four Famous Constables, Wuqing, Tieshou, Zhui Ming, and Lengxue, I don't know if Wuqing is a man or a woman."

"If he is a man, Wuqing is proficient in all kinds of hidden weapons and mechanical techniques. Although he has disabled legs, he is very fast with the help of the wheelchair he made, like a small mobile fortress. You have no idea how many arrows, flying needles, and hidden weapons are on his wheelchair, and how many of each are there." "

And if Wuqing is a woman, in addition to her hidden weapons, she is also good at mind reading. Mechanical techniques have become the specialty of the second-in-command, Tieshou. I don't know if Wuqing has been strengthened or weakened."

"Tsk, I don't know when the phenomenon of feminization began to appear in film and television works, where a male character was directly changed into a woman. This is the case in the East, and so is Wuqing."

"But if Wuqing is a woman, then what would she look like? I wonder if she looks like Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu."

"But speaking of Wang Yuyan, we clearly met this time, but we didn't even have a normal exchange - is Miss Wang Yuyan socially anxious? Or does she just not like talking to strangers?"

"Well, forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. Besides, I don't have the heart to chat with Wang Yuyan."

"As for Xiaolongnu - is she born now? After all, according to her normal age, she is four years older than Yang Guo, and Yang Guo is almost the same age as Guo Fu. Guo Fu is Rong'er's daughter - this Xiaolongnu hasn't been born yet!" "

Of course, in the world of Zongwu, everything is possible. Maybe Xiaolongnu has been born now, or even a grown-up girl."

After writing the diary, Ye Xiu's internal strength was enhanced, and his proficiency in disguise was improved again.

At this moment, Ye Xiu looked at the effect of his disguise and realized that many details were still missing. So he performed the disguise again and found that the effect was indeed stronger than before. Ye Xiu could also easily change his body shape, gait, and even his temperament accordingly.

The level of this disguise technique was truly increasing.

Meanwhile,

in the Shenhou Mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Wuqing had already reclined in bed, her usual wheelchair quietly placed beside the bed.

At this moment, Wuqing felt something suddenly appear from directly above her head and then descend towards her.

Wuqing activated her mental power, trying to stop the object before it hit her face.

However, her mental power, which had always been invincible, seemed to have no effect at all. The object simply ignored Wuqing's mental power and then - bang -

it slammed directly into Wuqing's face.

The object was not heavy, but it hit Wuqing's small nose, causing her to scream in surprise. However, she found that nothing had happened to her.

"Huh?"

Wuqing frowned slightly, then used her mental power to produce a tinder, lighting the candles in the room.

At this moment, Wuqing discovered that what hit her face and then fell to the side was actually a book.

Wuqing tried to control the book with her mental power again, but found that when her mental power entered the book, it simply slipped through the book, unable to lift it at all.

Wuqing was extremely surprised, so she reached out to grab the book, but she didn't expect it to be easily grasped.

Wuqing opened it with full of doubts -

"This is actually a diary?" Wuqing was very surprised.

She didn't expect that such a magical book that could ignore her mental power would be used as a diary.

What surprised Wuqing even more was how this diary appeared in her room.

Wuqing subconsciously looked up and looked at the place where the diary had just appeared.

There were no traces of anything there, no support on the beams or walls, ruling out the possibility that someone had placed it there to trigger Wuqing's mechanism.

The windows and doors were also tightly shut, showing no signs of having been opened, making it even more unlikely that someone had slipped the diary to her.

Wuqing's curiosity about the diary grew even stronger.

"So, what's going on?" Wuqing placed the diary in front of her and flipped it open, wanting to see if its contents could explain the situation or if any traces of it had been left behind.

As she began to leaf through the diary, she found much of it rather disjointed, almost like the writer was simply rambling.

There were many things, many words, that she knew the characters for, but when put together, she understood them.

There were also references to reincarnation and time travel, which made Wuqing frown.

"Could it be something like Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly?" Wuqing pondered.

Wuqing couldn't help but shake her head. Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly was probably just Zhuang Zhou dreaming, but could one really transform into a butterfly and experience another life? Wuqing still found it impossible.

"This diary seems to describe the underworld in the Ming Empire. So, is the writer from the Ming Empire? A disciple of the Huashan Sect?" Wuqing only glanced at a few pages before deciphering some information.

Upon discovering that the diary's owner actually harbored feelings for his own master's wife, Wuqing couldn't help but blush and slam the diary shut.

"This is truly, truly too much! How could he

do this to his master's wife—" Wuqing took a moment to calm down. She found some of the contents in the diary quite provocative.

However, she was reluctant to give up reading.

After all, the diary did seem quite interesting. Although many of the contents were quite embarrassing, at least Wuqing knew that there were such evil-repelling sword techniques that required castration before practicing divine skills.

"It feels like the person writing the diary seems to know something, but it seems to be a partial understanding. The real situation is sometimes similar to what he knows, but sometimes it is very different." Wuqing came to this conclusion as he flipped through the diary page by page.

Regardless, the contents of the diary did broaden Wuqing's horizons and also allowed her to understand some of the affairs of the Ming Empire.

For example, Zhu Wusi, known as the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, was actually bent on rebellion?

Moreover, Zhu Wusi, the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, actually practiced a Qi-absorbing technique that could absorb the internal energy of others.

"It's a pity that the diary contains so little information about the Ming court. If it contained more information about the Ming court, I would have a better understanding of the Ming Empire, and it would have made it easier for the Song Empire to form an alliance with the Ming Empire," Wuqing pondered.

As one of the Four Great Constables, Wuqing was nominally a member of the Song Dynasty court. The Song Dynasty court, well, it was pretty rough. The Mongols were eyeing both the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty covetously. However, the border between the Ming and the Yuan Dynasty was guarded by the legendary celestial being Zhang Sanfeng. As long as Zhang Sanfeng remained safe, the Mongols would not actively attack the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Mongols focused their efforts on the Song Dynasty.

Many viewed the Mongols as ambitious, while the Song Dynasty had long been weak. Furthermore, the Song Dynasty had always prioritized civil over military, paying little attention to military commanders. As a result, the Song Dynasty suffered more losses than wins against the Mongols. No, it wasn't just a few wins; it was practically no wins. On the rare occasions when they did win, the Song would send envoys to the Yuan Dynasty to apologize, even offering gifts of apology.

This was a standard Song Dynasty practice, and it made the Mongols more willing to engage in war.

After all, if the Mongols won, the Song Dynasty would send tribute coins, which would not only be a great victory for the Mongols but also a substantial sum of money. Losing, however, would also provide a substantial compensation.

In short, win or lose, there was no loss.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, whose ancestral precepts dictated no cession of territory, no indemnity, no vassalage, no marriage alliances, no tribute, and the emperor's death for the country.

A victory was fine, as they could reap some benefits. Losing, however, would leave them with nothing, not to mention the presence of Zhang Sanfeng.

To counter the Mongols, or more accurately, to avoid being bullied too harshly, the Song Dynasty had long sought an alliance with the Ming.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty simply despised the Song Dynasty's commitment to ceding territory, paying indemnities, vassalage, marriage alliances, and tribute, and its insistence on the emperor's flight in times of trouble, believing that the country might be lost but the king must not die.

Consequently, the alliance between the Ming and Song dynasties was a delicate one.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't stand by and watch the Song Dynasty be annihilated by the Mongols, so it would at least show some support for the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Wuqing felt that if she could learn more about the Ming Dynasty's court through the diary, she might be able to use this information to forge a true alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, jointly fighting against the Mongols.

Unfortunately, Wuqing kept flipping through the diary, only to discover that the diary's author rarely recorded any information about the Ming Dynasty's court. Most of the records were still about information and news from the Jianghu. Then,

Wuqing discovered that the Ming Dynasty had a martial arts technique called the "Bridal Gown Divine Art," which absorbed the cultivation of others and made it one's own. The Song Dynasty actually had a similar martial art—the "Northern Deep Divine Art.

" "Northern Deep Divine Art? I don't recall. Was the case of someone dying from cultivation being drained away suppressed? Or were those who practiced the Northern Deep Divine Art not guilty of any crime?" Wuqing nodded.

"It's just that evil skills like these shouldn't even exist in the world." Wuqing shook her head. In her opinion, this kind of martial arts was the absolute root of unrest, a source of disaster.

However, compared to martial arts like the Qi-absorbing Great Art, the Wedding Dress Divine Art, and the Beiming Divine Art, Wuqing was more concerned about the Shenzhaojing.

"Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect castrated himself to practice swordsmanship, and the person who wrote the diary actually wanted to use the Shenzhaojing to turn Yue Buqun into a real man and regenerate his severed limbs? If the Shenzhaojing really has such miraculous effects, then wouldn't I also—" Wuqing couldn't help but put her hands on her legs.

Although Wuqing had been using her mental energy to nourish her legs, preventing them from completely necrotizing and atrophying, they had no feeling at all.

Wuqing was now greedy for the Shenzhaojing, but her feelings were also normal, as any disabled person would feel the same way when they knew there was a martial art that could restore their disabled limbs to normal.

"However, if we want the Divine Illumination Scripture, we'll have to find a way to get to the Ming Dynasty. But…" Wuqing frowned slightly, looking even more troubled.

"If it were a normal jianghu person, fleeing from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty wouldn't be a big deal, just like Huang Rong did; no one would care.

But for Wuqing, the Four Great Constables, they're already branded as the Song Dynasty's 'henchmen,' and if they want to leave the country, it's a huge problem.

Because their actions, in the eyes of some, represent the Song Dynasty.

One of the Four Great Constables of the Song Dynasty has fled to the Ming Dynasty. What will

the Ming Dynasty think? Is the Song Dynasty provoking us? Is the Song Dynasty going to war with us?

So Wuqing is really in a dilemma right now."

Wuqing shook her head. Although she felt a little disappointed, she also hoped that Ye Xiu would one day escape to the Song Dynasty. Then, it would be much easier for her to find Ye Xiu.

"I was actually forced by Dongfang Bubai—" Wuqing looked strange. She felt that this was an eye-opener.

Wuqing had never thought that a woman would actually force herself on a man—

that's not right, Wuqing had encountered a few cases of women forcing themselves on men, but those cases, how should I put it? After all, they were not as shocking as those mentioned in the diary.

The main reason was the difference in status.

Dongfang Bubai, she knew Dongfang Bubai from all over the Song Dynasty. He was the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect and had extraordinary strength. Wuqing even heard that Dongfang Bubai was already a Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster-level expert forcing himself upon a mere innate realm cultivator—this was truly, truly, something that left Wuqing at a loss for words.

"Is this diary writer really that beautiful?" This was the first time Wuqing had been curious about the writer's appearance since reading the diary.

The writer had previously heard her exclaim about her beauty, but Wuqing hadn't paid much attention.

But when the writer was raped by Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Wuqing was truly intrigued. After all, the fact that Dongfang Bubai, the leader of a sect, could lower himself to force himself upon her spoke volumes about her appearance.

Even more surprising was that the writer was later raped by Yaoyue, the Grand Master of the Yihua Palace .

"First Dongfang Bubai, then Yaoyue—just how fierce are the women of the Ming Dynasty!" Wuqing couldn't help but sigh.

The more Wuqing read, the more excited she felt. It was obviously late at night, and she would have gone to bed at this time of the day, but the more she read the diary, the more excited she became, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Constantly flipping through other people's diaries made Wuqing feel that it was more interesting than reading other people's hearts with her mind reading skills.

"Murong Qiudi of the Tianzun Organization, the woman known as the Sword God, actually..."

Wuqing felt that the person who wrote the diary was really a bad peach blossom, who had provoked so many women.
