Chapter 134: Saving the World
Empress Canghua stood on a tall building, with her hands behind her back, watching Zhao Wumian rushing out the door to escape.

Some archers on the city wall were a little hesitant and did not dare to shoot. They were worried that if they killed Zhao Wumian at this moment, the Queen would be worried and her illness would become more serious, and they would be held responsible.

Some of them had heard about the 'princess escort' mentioned by Zhao Wumian and were reluctant to take action... Luo Chaoyan's mother was very popular in the palace, and many people had received her favor and kept it in mind. This was true for Chief Constable Su, Old Li, and some of them.

Only those soldiers who were stubborn and believed that Zhao Wumian should be arrested for assassinating the queen, regardless of his identity, pulled the trigger without hesitation. The whistling sound of the wind seemed to be dense, but in fact most of them were aiming at the thousand-mile horse under Zhao Wumian's crotch. In addition, the night was dark and the snow curtain affected the sight, which made the aiming poor.

The number of people who attacked was probably only one-third of the archers on the wall. Therefore, after Zhao Wumian blocked two rounds of arrows with his knife, he escaped out of the range by relying on the speed of the steed under his crotch.

Empress Canghua had a complicated expression. Zhao Wumian's trip out of the city this time was very similar to his trip to Taiyuan. But back then he hid his identity and snatched the thousand-mile horse just to get to the capital as soon as possible. But now, he is capable of openly announcing his name.

The different situation from before is part of the reason, but Zhao Wumian's character and strength are no longer the same as before, which is a major reason.

This man could always give her surprises. He could no longer be simply described as the 'Dragon Guardian'.

With her excellent eyesight as a martial arts master, Lady Canghua glanced at the archers on the city wall and the guards defending the city, and found that many of them did not beat their chests or stamp their feet when they saw Zhao Wumian escape, but instead smiled... She guessed that some of them were men who admired Zhao Wumian's behavior, and some were the "Empress faction".

Empress Canghua shook her head slightly, thinking to herself, Luo Chaoyan, Luo Chaoyan, you don’t have to do anything, just go to Guixuan Valley and practice medicine honestly. However, in the capital thousands of miles away, there are so many people who support you to become the emperor from the bottom of their hearts for the sake of the former queen, and I don’t know where they picked up such a precious jade as Zhao Wumian.

Speaking of jealousy, Lady Canghua was indeed a little jealous. Compared with Luo Chaoyan, she had paid so much... However, as a martial arts master, she had her own capacity. She just sighed secretly and cast her gaze inside the palace wall.

As expected, a red shadow suddenly stepped over the palace wall and rushed towards Fuhua Gate at an extremely fast speed. In a breath, it had swept across half of the capital. With such lightness skills, even if Zhao Wumian had a thousand-mile horse, he would be caught up sooner or later.

It was Eunuch Lin.

Empress Canghua's beautiful and mature face curled up coldly with a smile, she put on a black robe, and was about to intercept him, but halfway through, a figure suddenly flew out and suddenly blocked Eunuch Lin.

boom----

A huge sound wave dissipated outward from the intersection of the two figures, and an extremely exaggerated hole was instantly formed in the snow curtain, and this hole was still expanding. Cracks first appeared on the window paper of every household in the capital, and then collapsed in an instant. The candlelight in the house suddenly went out, and then the hole swept in with the wind and snow.

With just one move, the brightly lit capital city became a dark hole without any candlelight.

"Captain Su!? What do you mean?" Eunuch Lin's voice was filled with anger.

Chief Constable Su laughed calmly, "Everyone in the court and all corners of the country knows that I, Su Huaixi, support the legitimate princess to become emperor. Now that I am escorting Zhao Wumian out of the capital, who dares to object?"

"Zhao Wumian stole the horse of the King of Jin, entered the palace and held the Queen hostage with the intention of assassinating her, and disregarded the dignity of the royal family... Are you worthy of your official hat!?"

"Right and wrong will be judged by future generations! I am only worthy of myself for having received the favor of Queen Chuyi!"

"How dare you! Empress Chuyi is dead. The current empress is the mother of the country, benefiting the people and clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments. With your words, where do you put the empress who was bedridden because of Zhao Wumian?"

"After this incident, I will take the blame and apologize in front of Kunning Palace. I am willing to accept the punishment and protect the queen. I will not be held accountable by the chief steward."

"Zhao Wumian must be captured tonight."

"I'm here, you come and try."

On one side was the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, and on the other side was the chief detective of the detective department. Both were martial arts masters at the highest level, and could be regarded as the two great gate gods of the Dali court. They started fighting in front of the whole city.

Lady Canghua stood with her hands behind her back, watching the two people fighting, and smiled happily. However, at this moment when the whole city's attention was attracted by the two martial arts masters, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a dark purple Taoist robe, with gray hair on his temples, and a fairy-like appearance slowly walked out of the branch of Wugong Mountain in the capital.

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked up at the two of them, his calm eyes narrowed slightly, and then glanced in the direction of the Fuhua Gate.

"Uncle Guishou, what should we do?" A disciple who was also wearing a Taoist robe asked, with a bit of horror in his tone.

This young disciple was the young Taoist priest Xuanliu whose Taoist faith was shattered by Zhao Wumian.

After the battle of Taiyuan, Xuan Liu was sad and left silently, all the way to the capital... He didn't have a thousand-mile horse, so he traveled by horseback, and with a clear mind, he actually lived a comfortable life and gradually became more open-minded. After all, what this world lacks the most is a child prodigy. He was not as good as Zhao Wumian, it was just that he had not practiced enough.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the capital, the city was sealed off. The young Taoist priest Xuanliu was alone outside the city, blowing in the cold wind for three nights before he was allowed into the city. As a result, before he could even sit down, he heard Zhao Wumian's words that had spread almost throughout half of the capital. He was horrified and wondered why Zhao Wumian appeared wherever he went.

The middle-aged Taoist priest whom he called Uncle Guishou was none other than the master of Wugong Mountain who had shattered his true heart meridian with a single palm strike, and he was the junior brother of the current martial arts champion Guiyi Zhenren.

Master Guishou has been practicing Taoism for more than forty years, and his martial arts have reached the highest level, but he has yet to break through the bridge of heaven and earth. It is not because he has no talent, but because he wants to cross the bridge of heaven and earth by relying on his own strength without the help of the Nine Bells. This is why he has been stuck for ten years.

Therefore, Master Guishou should be considered a master at the same level as Wukui goalkeeper.

"Wugong Mountain is the state religion of Dali. Zhao Wumian stole a horse in the street and assassinated the queen. If we ignore him just because he was the one who escorted the legitimate princess back to the capital, then we should give up his status as the state religion to Huanzhen Pavilion as soon as possible."

Xuan Liu looked hesitant, "But if what Zhao Wumian said is true, then there must be some deep reason why he did those two things."

"No matter what the hidden truth is, it's done. We should investigate the falsehood and see the truth." Gui Shou Zhenren shook his head lightly, "Wugong Mountain is the state religion, and it works for the Dali court, and the legitimate princess is not allowed to enter the court yet."

"I think the state religion is for the benefit of the people of the world," Xuan Liu retorted.

Gui Shou Zhenren tilted his head to look at him, then put on a faint smile, but changed the subject and asked: "Were you defeated by Zhao Wumian in one move in Taiyuan?"

Xuan Liu thought about it carefully and said, "It's two moves."

Gui Shou Zhenren: “…”

"Is he your inner demon?" Master Gui Shou turned his head, probably thinking that his nephew was too stupid, and asked calmly.

Xuan Liu did not answer, and nodded slightly after a while.
"As the leader, I was expected to be the same age as him, but I couldn't even last two moves. Most importantly, while I was still looking for competitions and contests to win places in the martial arts world, Zhao Wumian had already intervened in the world's situation and became an indispensable part of it. Such a gap in status, capacity, vision, and martial arts really makes me feel a little inferior."

"Then follow me." Master Gui Shou waved the sleeves of his Taoist robe lightly, turned around and returned to the branch, but he was leading a horse and holding a sword.

Xuan Liu was slightly stunned, "What are you going to do?"

"Capture the thief leader Zhao Wumian and save the world."

Save the world's trend? Xuan Liu was puzzled. Zhao Wumian was a female emperor. If we talk about the so-called world's trend, after he succeeds, wouldn't Luo Chaoyan herself represent the world's trend?

He then asked: "Whose world is this world that Master Uncle is talking about?"

Master Gui Shou jumped on his horse, slung his sword across his waist, and smiled calmly:
"The world of the Luo family, the trend of Wugong Mountain."
