I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 160 The Chosen Son

Half a month later.

Beili, Tianqi City.

This is the best city in the world, because it gathers all the wealth, talents and power in the world.

In the most powerful imperial palace in the world, Emperor Tai'an looked solemn and gloomy, because the note in his hand read - The sword forest is opening, the sword song of Western Chu is singing, asking the way to heaven, and reappearing in the world.

"Back then, Baili Luochen was ordered to go to war and conquered the last city of Western Chu. The Sword and Confucian Immortals of Western Chu died in the battle. Now you tell me that the Sword Song of Western Chu has been published again. Does that mean that the Sword and Confucian Immortals are not dead? What about Baili Luochen?"

Zhuo Qing, the head of the Five Great Supervisors, said respectfully, "After the grand court meeting, he left Tianqi and returned to Qiandong City."

"Who is the one with the sword?"

"Bai Li Dong Jun."

Emperor Tai'an's expression changed: "Bai Li Luo Chen's only grandson?"

"That's right. The Marquis of Zhenxi was ordered to attack Western Chu. It was a deliberate arrangement by the late emperor. The Marquis of Zhenxi and the two sword masters of Western Chu were good friends. The late emperor wanted to test his loyalty. The deputy general who accompanied the army was a confidant of the late emperor and had a secret order. If the Marquis of Zhenxi had hesitated at the time, he could have replaced him at any time. However, the result of that battle is known to everyone."

Zhuoqing paused for a moment and said slowly: "The Western Chu Kingdom was destroyed, and the two immortals died in battle!"

The Confucian scholar from Western Chu sang a song, and the sword immortal held a sword. On the top of the city wall of Lausang, they fought against the nine thousand soldiers of Pofeng with one sword and one song.

One day later, the Confucian Immortal vomited blood and died on the city wall. The Sword Immortal's head was broken by his sword and his blood was stained on the battlefield. Finally, the city of Lausanne was broken and the Western Chu State was destroyed.

Back then, the Sword Immortal of Western Chu was the only swordsman in the world who could rival Mr. Li from the academy. However, compared to the Sword Immortal Gu Mo, the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen was the one that Emperor Tai'an feared the most.

The art of making men of medicine can allow an ordinary soldier to defeat a hundred at a time, and can even allow a dying person to fight again. It is precisely because of the art of making men of medicine that Western Chu can contend with Northern Li.

If Beili cannot obtain this kind of trick, he will destroy it.

Therefore, Emperor Tai'an finally rejected Zhuoqing's request to send people to Qiandong City and chose the ninth prince Xiao Ruofeng.

In addition to the fact that he likes Xiao Ruofeng and wants to use this opportunity to add to his achievements, the most important thing is that Xiao Ruofeng has a school and the world's best master behind him - Li Changsheng.

Qiandong City, Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.

Baili Dongjun, who had just returned to the Baili family from Jianlin, was tied up and swearing at his father Baili Chengfeng in the hall. The crying and shouting were so loud that they could be heard clearly even in the backyard.

A graceful woman in a white gown was sitting on a bench in the backyard, eating fruit and laughing softly. The woman was not young, but her elegant temperament and seductive charm in her every move were far beyond the reach of ordinary women.

He warmed the pot of wine and sat next to the woman, taking a sip of tea: "Looking at you, you really look more and more like the wife of a wealthy family."

Wen Luoyu, the Crown Prince's Consort, smiled and said, "So you've always been too lazy to see me as a noble lady and have rarely come to my place, right? Why did you come here after you sent that brat back this time?"

Wen Hujiu put away the smile on his face and winked at Wen Luoyu. Wen Luoyu understood and waved to the servants and maids: "You all go down."

The maids and servants left, and Wen Luoyu yawned: "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Wenhujiu picked up a long package he had brought with him and took out the contents.

"sword?"

Wen Luoyu took it and pulled out half of the sword. She smelled a lotus fragrance. She was stunned for a moment. She looked at the sword carefully and asked in confusion: "I have seen many famous swords since I was a child, but none of them can compare to this one. Which of the ten famous swords is this?"

Wen Hujiu shook his head: "It's not one of the ten famous swords. This sword was recently forged by Wei Changfeng, the young master of Mingjian Villa. It's another sword of the Immortal Palace quality after several decades, and its name is Bu Ran Chen."

Mingjian Villa is the second best sword forging studio in the world. It houses 2,300 swords and has produced countless famous swords.

The swords forged by Mingjian Villa are divided into four grades.

The first grade is named Gaoshan, which means standing tall in the world, a lofty mountain to be admired. It is a mountain that ordinary iron swords cannot reach.

The second grade is called Cang Hai, which means boundless and endless. All rivers flow into the sea. One has to make one hundred mountain swords to obtain a Cang Hai sword.

The third grade is called Yuntian, which means above the vast ocean. It also means soaring into the sky like nine heavens, looking down on all things. It is one in a million.

The fourth grade is the Immortal Palace, which means above the nine heavens. Hidden in the Immortal Palace is a true sword from outer space, which has fascinated countless sword lovers.

Wen Luoyu is a poisoner, and he is not a sword lover, nor is he enthusiastic about Bu Ranchen. He has seen it and put it aside. He looked at his brother warming the pot of wine with some amusement and joked: "Why, are you planning to use the sword? Aren't you afraid that the old men at home will poison you to death?"

Wenhujiu shook his head: "It's not my sword, it's your son Baili Dongjun's sword."

Wen Luoyu was stunned: "You helped him snatch it from the sword test competition? Do you know why my son is so useless? It's all because of you guys."

Wen Hujiu was speechless. "If I snatched a sword of the Immortal Palace grade at the Sword Trial Conference and gave it to a dandy young man, would Mingjian Villa and the swordsmen of the world agree? They would kill me. This Unstained Sword was snatched by your son himself, and he used a sword to snatch it."

“Hahaha…” Wen Luoyu laughed, her body shaking with laughter: “Brother, please stop joking. I don’t know much about my son. How many sword techniques does he know? Going to the sword test meeting to snatch a sword? This joke is not funny at all.”

Wen Hujiu said nothing, which froze Wen Luoyu's smile. He said in a deep voice, "Did he really rob it with his sword?"

"Yes." Wen Hujiu nodded, and said solemnly: "And he used the lost sword song of Western Chu, asking the heavens. At that time, not only me, but also Wushuang City, the Eighth Young Master of Beili, and all the swordsmen in the world saw it."

Wen Luoyu was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily: "Sure enough, that kid is not just learning how to brew wine."

Wen Hujiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the one in Qiandong City a Confucian Immortal or a Sword Immortal?"

Without waiting for Wen Luoyu to speak, Wen Hujiu said, "No, the Sword Immortal of Xichu is dead, so the one in Qiandong City is the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen?"

Wen Luoyu nodded and said nothing.

"You already knew?"

Wen Luoyu shook her head: "We only found out more than a year ago that the Confucian Immortal was not dead and had been in Qiandong City the whole time."

"You only found out more than a year ago?" Wenhujiu looked suspicious.

Having been brothers and sisters for many years, Wen Luoyu knew what he was thinking when she saw the way he was warming the pot of wine. She shook her head and said, "My father-in-law didn't show any mercy back then, and he didn't know that Ruxian was still alive. It was more than a year ago that someone found Ruxian and happened to meet Dongjun. Ruxian took the initiative to show up at Baili's house, and we only then knew that he was still alive."

Wen Hujiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "The person you are talking about is not our uncle surnamed Chu, right?"

"Uncle Chu?"

Wen Luoyu was confused: "When did we have a little uncle named Chu?"

"The ninth prince of Western Chu, Chu Zhao, is my father's sworn brother. Didn't my father tell you?"

Wen Luoyu was stunned for a moment, shook her head and asked, "How does Dad know the Ninth Prince?"

"I was not at home that year, the specific situation..." Wen Hujiu paused, "I don't know much either. I only know that he made a bet with our family, and as a result, all the poisons of our Wen family had no effect on him, and we lost. Dad begged him to become sworn brothers, and our Wen family promised to secretly help him restore his country and not to interfere in his affairs with your Baili family. He also promised not to take action against you and Dongjun." Just from that pause, Wen Luoyu knew that her brother was hiding something from her, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Now my brother doesn't even regard his sister as a member of the Wen family."

Wen Hujiu shook his head: "You are my sister, so you are naturally a member of the Wen family, but there are some things that only the head of the family and the elders of the clan are qualified to know, and even I don't know much."

Wen Luoyu knew that her brother was not telling the truth, but she could understand his difficulties.

As the future head of the Wen family, everything has to be considered for the future of the Wen family. Although she is the daughter of the Wen family, she has married into the Baili family. Even she herself is not sure whether she will choose the Wen family or the Baili family when faced with a choice. So her brother naturally cannot tell her everything.

But even though we understand, sadness is still unavoidable.

Wen Luoyu sighed silently and asked, "Does the Wen family think so highly of him?"

"Father and the elders are very optimistic about him. Father spoke highly of him in his early years. He is not an ordinary person, but a dragon that can soar into the sky."

After drinking a sip of tea from the warm pot of wine, he thought for a moment and added, "From the contact we've had over the years, I'm also optimistic about him. It's said that a golden unicorn is not something that stays in a pond. Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon. The Ninth Prince didn't turn into a dragon when wind and clouds appeared. He created wind and clouds himself. This world won't be peaceful for long."

"Yes, it's normal for you to be optimistic about Da Xiaoyao, who is only fourteen years old."

"what?"

Wen Hujiu stood up instantly, staring at his sister Wen Luoyu with wide eyes: "What realm do you think he is in?"

"The free and easy heaven, the great free and easy, only one step away from the divine journey."

The current head of Bai Xiao Tang ascended the throne at the age of nine. After ascending the throne, he proposed a new realm division of martial arts in the world, dividing martial arts into two realms.

Below the first realm, they are just ordinary warriors, everywhere in the world, and there is nothing worthy of attention.

Above the first realm, there are four levels. The first level is the Vajra mortal realm. Once you enter this realm, you will have an invulnerable Vajra body and can be called a "master".

However, it is this level of realm that ordinary warriors cannot reach in their lifetime. Even the leaders of some small and nameless sects cannot reach the threshold of this level. Even Wen Hujiu, who is known as the genius of the Wen family, practiced hard for many years and entered the Vajra Realm at the age of eighteen. But Chu Zhao was only fourteen years old a year ago, and he was not even in the Vajra Ordinary Realm, but the Great Free and Easy Realm in the Free and Easy Heavenly Realm.

Wen Hujiu knew that Chu Zhao had a great talent for martial arts. He was already a master of the Free Earth Realm when he was only seven or eight years old. He also knew that Chu Zhao was now a master of the Free Heaven Realm. That was why he was always on guard against Chu Zhao's actions when they were at the Gu family in Southwest Road.

But he never imagined that more than a year ago, Chu Zhao had already reached the realm of Great Freedom, and was only one step away from reaching the realm of Half-Step Divine Wandering.

"This talent... is truly monstrous. If he was just one step away from success more than a year ago, he would probably be half a step away now!" Wenhujiu exclaimed.

Wen Luoyu nodded and said worriedly, "It should be."

"A fifteen-year-old half-step divine journey, this is probably the best a chosen one can do!"

Wen Hujiu exclaimed again, thinking of what happened in the Gu family, and asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, why did your father-in-law invite him to the Baili family? Does your Baili family have a master who can deal with him?"

"Before I answer you, please answer me a question first. What is the Wen family's attitude towards my father-in-law and husband?"

He opened his mouth to warm the pot of wine, but in the end he just sighed.

He had actually asked his father Wen Lin, if Chu Zhao was determined to kill Baili Luochen and his brother-in-law Baili Chengfeng, what would our Wen family do? Knowing that he was the prince of Western Chu, why didn't they just kill him? Our Wen family and the Baili family were relatives, so Chu Zhao was also our enemy!

At that time, Wen Lin's answer to him was, their surname is Baili, our surname is Wen, their life and death have nothing to do with my Wen family. And he was killed directly. Since he dared to come to our Wen family, how could he not be prepared to retreat? If he was not killed, how would the Wen family deal with his revenge? At the age of eight, how high can you imagine his future achievements? I think you are going backwards in the world.

Seeing this, Wen Luoyu knew the Wen family's attitude and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, Wenhujiu had thought about killing Chu Zhao before he grew up.

But just like his father said, if Chu Zhao was not killed, once Chu Zhao grew up, the Wen family would face a devastating disaster.

After all, the Wen family's gatekeeping skill is to use poison, but what they are least afraid of is poison.

Moreover, the Wen family had already reached an agreement with Chu Zhao at that time, and he, as the future head of the family, could not mobilize the masters of the Wen family.

As a person who had just entered the Free and Easy Heaven Realm, he couldn't even defeat the old eunuch beside Chu Zhao, and couldn't kill Chu Zhao at all.

So he just thought about it and didn't dare to put it into action.

In recent years, after learning a lot about Chu Zhao, Wen Hujiu realized how right it was for him not to take action back then.

Putting aside Chu Zhao's own talent and strength, Yuelu City alone is not something that their Lingnan old brand Wen family can handle.

Who could have imagined that this child, who was only eight or nine years old at that time, had secretly created such a power!

Wen Hujiu sighed again: "Sister, don't blame us. Being able to protect you and Dongjun is already the limit of our Wen family."

Before he finished speaking, a figure walked over.

"Brother, my father and I are already very grateful that the Wen family was able to save Madam and Dongjun."

Baili Chengfeng clasped his fists to show his gratitude, and then said proudly: "He is indeed powerful, but he wants to kill us father and son for revenge, but it is not so easy to kill him. Back then, the Confucian Swordsman of Western Chu was no match for my Pofeng Army, and he is no exception."

"So you invited him to your house in order to surround and kill him with the Pofeng Army?"

As he was warming the pot of wine, he shook his head and said, "You guys underestimate him."

It is undeniable that the Baili family's Pofeng Army is indeed powerful. Even the famous Western Chu Sword Immortal died at the hands of the Pofeng Army.

But Chu Zhao is not the sword immortal Gu Mo of the past. Maybe his strength is not as good as Gu Mo, but his intelligence is definitely far superior to Gu Mo.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to secretly create such a powerful force as Yuelu City when he was only seven or eight years old.

More importantly, the situation today is different from what it was back then.

Back then, the two sword immortals of Western Chu fought to the death to protect their country, otherwise how could the Pofeng Army have exhausted the sword immortal Gumo to death.

In other words, the two immortals, Sword and Confucianism of Western Chu, could have left.

Then Chu Zhao, who is already half a step into the state of spiritual wandering, can also leave whenever he wants. The Pofeng Army cannot keep him, let alone kill him.

Baili Chengfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I tell you this, Big Brother may not believe it. It's not that I look down on him, but I don't know why father invited him into the mansion."

Wen Luoyu took over the conversation: "I have guessed a little bit of what the eunuch is thinking. He probably wants to use his death to eliminate the hatred in the heart of the Ninth Prince of Western Chu and maintain the stability of the world."

"National hatred and family feuds are not so easy to let go."

Wenhujiu shook his head and took a sip of wine: "What's more, the Ninth Prince has a strong character. Father's evaluation of his character is - the only one in the world!"
