Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

The Qing Dynasty.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As the weather gradually turned colder after October, a fire was lit inside the main hall.

Emperor Kangxi placed the secret report in his hand on the table and paced back and forth.

"Zhao Gou is dead! Yuwen Huaji murdered the emperor?!"

Duolong and Wei Xiaobao, who were kneeling on the ground, lowered their heads upon hearing this.

"Hahaha! Not a single person from the Southern Song Dynasty is making a sound now."

Wei Xiaobao's eyes darted around twice; Kangxi seemed quite pleased with his tone.

(Oh no, I wonder if this will affect my older brother.)

Emperor Kangxi arrived in front of the map of Jiangnan displayed in the hall and placed his finger on the location of Hangzhou Bay.

"Shi Lang's navy has been training for almost two years. How can I let this opportunity slip by? Half of Jiangnan isn't enough; I want to take over the entire Jiangnan region!"

Duolong clasped his hands and raised them above his head.

"Your Majesty is wise. General Shi Lang submitted a memorial last month stating that the navy is fully prepared and has sufficient warships, ready to be deployed at any time!"

Kangxi spoke with his back to the two men.

"Issue an imperial decree instructing Shi Lang to expedite his final training exercises. Upon receiving my secret order, he must immediately land at Hangzhou Bay!"

Turn around and look down.

"In addition, have Du Fuwei take one hundred Xiantian masters from the Sticky Rod Office to Jiangnan to eliminate all Jianghu forces there."

Wei Xiaobao's eyelids twitched. If he remembered correctly, his elder brother seemed to have someone in Hangzhou.

Du Fuwei, that old black-hearted man, is ruthless, and he has a hundred henchmen who are used to seeing blood. This show of force is probably aimed at my brother's men.

Kangxi's gaze lingered on Wei Xiaobao, who had his head bowed.

"Xiao Bao, why have you been so quiet lately? Are you still blaming me for sending you to Ao Bai's residence to deliver gifts?"

Wei Xiaobao immediately looked up and smiled obsequiously.

"How could that be? Didn't Your Majesty personally come to rescue Xiaobao back then?"

"This servant is thinking, with Lord Du bringing so many men, those ignorant wandering swordsmen will surely be scared out of their wits!"

Emperor Kangxi was in a great mood and laughed, scolding, "You were so scared you almost wet yourself... Never mind, all of you may leave."

Wei Xiaobao echoed Duolong's words.

"twitter."

Then they left the main hall.

After tricking Duolong away, Wei Xiaobao walked alone on the road.

Now, apart from the fake Empress Dowager who can arrange for someone to deliver messages, even he can't move around freely.

So I went out the door, turned a corner, and walked quickly toward the Cining Palace.

Mao Dongzhu sat cross-legged on the bed, holding Buddhist prayer beads in her hand. She frowned when she saw the door being pushed open.

"You little brat, running around here in broad daylight, are you tired of living?"

Now that there were no outsiders present, Wei Xiaobao didn't have time to mince words with her and simply recounted what had happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The eunuch beside Mao Dongzhu was actually the skinny monk in disguise; the two exchanged a glance.

"Master Bao, are you saying that Kangxi is going to send Du Fuwei to Jiangnan to deal with the people left behind by the Prince of Qin?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded very seriously.

"You two hurry up and use the Shenlong Island route to get the message to Chengdu. Brother, don't let things go wrong."

Mao Dongzhu didn't waste any more words. He got up and went to the back hall to arrange for someone to send a message out of the palace.

Wei Xiaobao sighed deeply: "Brother, don't let Du Heitan's men trick you."

.......

The Imperial Study of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Sheng stood in front of the table, looking at Wanyan Zongbi.

"With the Song dynasty destroyed, half of the Central Plains has lost its leader. This opportunity is rare."

Wanyan Zongbi looked at the map of mountains and rivers spread out on the table.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the 50,000 Iron Pagoda soldiers have already assembled on the border of Jingzhou and Xiangyang. I will immediately march south as soon as the Mongols make their move."

Wanyan Sheng's expression remained unchanged.

"Qin Han in Sichuan has been making quite a stir lately; almost everyone is wearing armor. You were defeated by him back then, so you need to be more careful."

Wanyan Zongbi's face turned green. He had been careless back then, and at that time he did not have the most famous Iron Pagoda of the Jin Kingdom.

Now, facing the mighty armies of Qin and Han again, we are confident that we will not lose again.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the same thing will not happen a second time. As long as we cooperate with the Mongols to take Xiangyang and block this passage, the eastward route of Qin and Han will be blocked."

Wanyan Sheng nodded and began to implement the follow-up details.

.......

Mongolian grasslands.

The Khan's golden tent smelled of herbs.

Temujin lay on a leather couch, his face sickly thin, his eyes looking ahead.

Kublai Khan knelt beside him, placing his right hand on his chest.

"Father, I hereby pledge my military authority: should chaos erupt in the Song Dynasty, I will personally lead 80,000 cavalry south to capture Xiangyang!"

Temujin was very pleased.

"Good, this is my son, Temujin."

Kublai Khan got up from the ground and walked out of the tent, just in time to bump into Zhao Min who was waiting outside.

Zhao Min stared at him for a couple of seconds.

"Fourth Prince, what did the Great Khan say to you inside just now?"

Kublai Khan turned his head to look to the side.

"Minmin, don't worry about fighting, you're a young lady."

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Zhao Min returned to her tent with a headache and ordered her men to summon the Eight Heroes of Divine Arrows.

"Go and find out right now where Kublai Khan's vanguard cavalry is."

The eight people looked at each other, and Zhao Min continued with the arrangements.

"In addition, you burned down all of the pastures owned by the Prince of Ruyang on the grasslands and told the outside world that it was done by bandits."

One of them took a step forward.

"Princess, that ranch belongs to the prince..."

Zhao Min looked directly over.

"My father is on the western front and won't be able to come back. These pastures are there to supply Kublai Khan's army. Burning them down will actually buy him half a month!"

Everyone bowed their heads after hearing this, realizing that their master had really ruined his father for that lover.

One by one, they received their orders and withdrew.

Zhao Min sat at the table, her fingers tracing the scabbard of the dagger, which she had already left with that person.

"Qin Han, I can buy you time as long as I can, but don't let me down."

........

A cloud of dust rose up on the official road in Jiangnan.

Du Fuwei rode on horseback, leading a hundred skilled warriors from the Sticky Pole Bureau towards Hangzhou. Wherever he went, people kept their distance from him.

As the group approached a small pass, Du Fuwei grabbed the reins.

The people behind him crowded around.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Du Fuwei stared at the hillside to the left of the pass for a long time.

"It's alright, let's keep going!"

On the hillside, two young men were walking in the opposite direction, bending over, and every few steps they would turn back to look.

Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Damn it, how come I run into Dad here?!"

Xu Ziling followed behind.

"Stop talking nonsense, you've experienced your father's superb lightness skill firsthand!"

The two had barely finished speaking when the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.

Du Fuwei had just sensed a familiar aura, and it turned out to be those two brats.

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling!"
