Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

The threat posed by the Sui Dynasty to foreign tribes was probably useless, as those tribes were all barbarians. When foreign armies invaded the Tang Empire, burning, killing, looting, raping, and plundering would all occur.

"What a nuisance. I can't even rest properly when I'm injured. Damn it, Li Shimin in the crossover martial arts world is too stupid."

Su Chen sat up and prepared to go to the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

He wanted to see what was really going on in the Tang Dynasty.

How could a powerful empire decline so quickly after being attacked by the Turks? How could its wealth and provisions be completely depleted after just one war?

Yu Jia's room

Upon Su Chen's arrival, he told Yu Jia about what had happened in the Tang Empire, and even told her that he was going to the Tang capital.

Yu Jia is the future Great Khan of the Turks, and Su Chen will soon need the help of Yu Jia's Turkic army.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Yu Jia exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're going to the capital of the Tang Dynasty? Are you out of your mind?"

“Yu Jia, I will disguise myself and go to the capital of the Tang Dynasty. No one will recognize me then.”

Yu Jia shook her head and advised,

“That won’t do either, my husband. Your status is different now. The Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies on three sides. It would be very unsafe for you to go to Chang’an.”

Su Chen hugged Yu Jia and explained,

“Yu Jia, the Tang Empire is besieged on three sides. Even if Li Shimin knew my identity, he wouldn’t dare to touch me. Besides, you can send an envoy to the Tang. With my Sui Dynasty and your Turks, would Li Shimin dare to attack me?”

Yu Jia felt somewhat helpless upon hearing Su Chen's words, as Su Chen was determined to go to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

but,

Su Chen is right.

The Tang Empire is now besieged on three sides.

Even if Li Shimin knew Su Chen's identity, he wouldn't dare to provoke her. Besides, if she also sent an envoy to Chang'an, Li Shimin would be even less likely to take action against Su Chen.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jia said to Su Chen,

"Husband, let Hua Baifeng and those powerful women go with you. Even if there is danger, Hua Baifeng and Zhu Yuyan can protect you and help you escape from Chang'an City."

Su Chen kissed Yu Jia and said with a smile.

"No need. Hua Baifeng and the others are currently studying the War God's Manual. I'm only going to Chang'an to check on the current situation of the Tang Empire. I'm not going to cause any trouble, so there's no need to disturb them."

"you....."

"Don't worry, although I'm not very strong, no one can stop me from escaping if I want to."

"What about the terrestrial immortals of the Celestial Realm?"

"Ahem, Yu Jia, there aren't that many Celestial Realm Earth Immortals in the world. Do you think Celestial Realm Earth Immortals are all cabbages?"

"Hmph, there are four or five Celestial Realm Earth Immortals in the Dugu Manor alone. Isn't that a lot?"

Su Chen was speechless upon hearing Yu Jia's words.

Can these be the same?

The reason why Luoyang City is able to gather so many Celestial Realm experts is because of the War God Temple. Without the War God Temple, there would not be so many Celestial Realm experts in Luoyang City.

"Yujia, this time I'm just..."

"Master, this is a secret letter sent by Empress Dowager Li Qiushui of Western Xia."

Just as Su Chen was about to persuade Yu Jia, Liu Sheng Piaoxu suddenly called out from outside the room.

Su Chen shook his head upon hearing Liu Sheng Piaoxu's words.

One thing after another happened today.

Why would that woman Li Qiushui send me a letter? Could it be that Li Qiushui contacted the Jin and Liao kingdoms?

"Piaoxu, come in!"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu came in and handed Su Chen a secret letter, "Master, this is a secret letter from Empress Dowager Li Qiushui of Western Xia!"

Su Chen took the secret letter and opened it to read it.

I'll do it!

Li Qiushui and the Jin and Liao kingdoms have already amassed an army of 800,000.

This is fucking...

How come Li Qiushui is so fast?

The Western Xia mobilized 300,000 troops, the Liao Dynasty also mobilized 300,000 troops, and the Jin Dynasty managed to muster 200,000 troops.

Damn it,

These three countries have all mobilized their entire armies.

Su Chen is now unsure whether to deal with the Tang Dynasty first, or to meet with Li Qiushui in the Southern Song Dynasty to confront the Yuan Dynasty.

Headache,

Su Chen is having a terrible headache right now.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment before giving the order.

“Piaoxu, send a message to Shen Luoyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, telling her to contact Li Qiushui first, and for the army to prepare for war, but not to start the war yet. I will be there within three months.”

"Yes, Master!"

After Su Chen left Liu Sheng Piaoxu on May 5.4th,

He then said to Yu Jia,

"Yujia, I need to go to the capital of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Yu Jia glanced at Su Chen and nodded in agreement, “Alright, I will order an envoy to go to the Tang Dynasty immediately, and I will also order 100,000 cavalry to assemble on the border of the Tang Dynasty.”

"Yeah, sure!"

Su Chen then discussed the Goryeo-go (Korean poetry) matter with Yu Jia.

He was about to leave.

Su Chen did not notify the other women.

Hua Baifeng and the other girls were all studying the War God's Manual. Su Chen didn't bring Dugu Feng, Da Siming, Shao Siming, Fu Junyu, Fu Junqiang, and Shi Qingxuan with him to the Tang Dynasty capital.

With so many people around,

Su Chen decided to leave with Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Hyōshū.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty

I, Su Chen, am going back again!

Chapter 407 Reunion with Shang Xiufang, Wan Hua Lou Surrounded by the Army!

Ten days later,

Chang'an City

Su Chen arrived in Chang'an City with Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Piaoxu, but the city was now very desolate, a far cry from when Su Chen arrived a year ago.

Looking around, Yagyu Yukihime asked in confusion,

"Master, isn't Chang'an the capital of the Tang Empire? Why is it different from the capital of the Sui Dynasty? Why is Chang'an so desolate? Why are so many shops closed? And why are there so many beggars in the city?"

Su Chen shook his head and explained.

"This was caused by the war. The Tang Empire lacked resources and food. Shops had nothing to sell, so they closed down. People had no food to eat, so they became beggars."

Su Chen hadn't expected the Tang Dynasty capital to become like this; it was even less prosperous than Luoyang under the control of the Dugu clan.

The capital of an empire has become like this.

The Tang Dynasty had truly reached a dead end.

Su Chen smiled and said when he saw the Wan Hua Lou in front of him.

"Wan Hua Lou? I didn't expect Wan Hua Lou to still exist. I wonder if Shang Xiufang is still in Wan Hua Lou."

Liu Sheng Piaoxu asked in confusion,

"Master, do you know anyone in the Tang Dynasty?"

Su Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, I visited the capital of the Tang Dynasty more than a year ago. I stayed at the Wanhua Tower up front at that time."

"Wan Hua Lou? Isn't that a brothel?"

Su Chen shook his head upon hearing Liu Sheng Piaoxu's words, and then, holding Liu Sheng Piaoxu's slender waist, he said...

“Little girl, Wan Hua Lou is not a brothel. It’s more like a geisha house in Japan. It’s a place for performing songs and dances.”

"So it's a geisha house!"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu blushed and understood immediately.

She realized that Su Chen would never live in a brothel. Su Chen's women were all very beautiful and glamorous, so how could he possibly be interested in those ordinary, vulgar women in a brothel?
