Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

Book author: Brother Yu

Book description: He traveled to a martial arts world with numerous dynasties and became a storyteller.

The Nine Provinces Sword Immortal was exposed at the beginning and became famous, and since then, there have been crowds of spectators.

Along with the surge in popularity comes strength!

In his eyes, the so-called earthly immortals were nothing but grass...

Chapter 1: Only care about popularity!

Zhenbeicheng.

This place is located in the northernmost border of the Dongli Dynasty and is the city where the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao was granted a title.

It is also a strategic place where various countries meet the Dongli border.

Because of this, Zhenbei City can be called the most prosperous city in the world, with heroes from all over the world coming and going in its streets and alleys.

It was noon, and the East Market Street, which should have been bustling with people, was deserted.

The people in the city all gathered at the most famous Purple Gold Tower in Beiliang.

In the past, the Zijin Tower was known as the "No. 1 Tower" because the courtesan Yu Youwei, known as the "No. 1 Beauty in Beiliang", was the top performer there.

Now everyone gathered in the Purple Gold Tower, all because of a storyteller - Su Chen!

It turns out that today is the day when Su Chen gives his monthly lectures. Countless martial arts heroes have heard the news and are eagerly waiting.

At this time, the Purple Gold Building was packed with people and the atmosphere was bustling.

An admission ticket of ten taels of silver could not stop the people from coming from all directions.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the white jade platform in the center.

Su Chen was seen sitting on it in a white robe, with a calm expression and a hint of elegant smile, and at the same time, he exuded an unfathomable aura.

And next to him was Youwei, the number one mermaid in Beiliang.

She served tea and water like a maid.

Red sleeves covered with light gauze, with a faint fragrance floating in the air.

Although the lecture had not yet begun, the atmosphere was already extremely heated, and the audience's faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

……

at this time,

In a private room on the east side of the third floor.

Two men sat opposite each other and drank, one was dashing and unrestrained, the other was gentle and elegant.

These two people were Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, who came from the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Hua, I, Lu Xiaofeng, have traveled all over the world and have seen a bit of the world. I have never been defeated by anyone in my life."

"But today, I really admire you."

Lu Xiaofeng said sincerely.

Hua Manlou on the opposite side raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously:

"I wonder what I have done to convince the great Lu Xiaofeng?"

Lu Xiaofeng took a sip from the wine glass and said with a smile:

"That Datongbao counterfeit case not only affected the Hua family's foundation, but also concerned the financial lifeline of the imperial court."

"If the case is not solved in time, the Hua family may be wiped out."

"Yet at this critical moment, you invited me to the Purple Gold Tower to drink wine, admire flowers, listen to books and watch the competition."

"Such a calm and composed state of mind in the face of danger is rare for me, Lu Xiaofeng. How can I not admire him?"

Hua Manlou smiled calmly: "I came here to solve this case."

"Oh? What's a good idea?" Lu Xiaofeng immediately became interested after hearing Hua Manlou's words.

Hua Manlou replied slowly, "The person who forged the banknotes was very meticulous. If even you can't follow the clues, then I have no choice but to seek help from the immortals."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Immortal? Where is that immortal?"

Hua Manlou looked up at the stage: "Distant in the horizon, yet close before my eyes, it is none other than Mr. Su, lecturing on that high platform."

"It is said that Mr. Su knows everything in the world, so this matter will not be difficult for him."

"I have specially prepared a generous gift of five million taels of silver just to ask Mr. Su for some advice."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng sighed softly, "Five million taels of silver? Tsk tsk, they are indeed the wealthy Hua family."

"But I don't think this Mr. Su is as great as the legend says. Aren't you afraid that your five million taels of silver will be wasted?"

Lu Xiaofeng said while shaking his head.

Hua Manlou sighed softly and said, "Alas, for now, we can only hope that Mr. Su really has the legendary ability to see through the heavens and earth."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Why don't we test Mr. Su's ability first?"

"How to test?" Hua Manlu asked with a puzzled look.

"It's very simple. I'll borrow the jade pendant on your waist."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaofeng took off the white jade pendant that Hua Manlou was wearing around his waist and threw it lightly towards the platform.

His technique was extremely skillful, and the jade pendant landed steadily on the table without any damage.

On the high platform.

Yu Youwei's eyes lit up when she saw the jade pendant. She turned her gaze towards the box where Lu Xiaofeng was and spoke gently:

"This jade is carved from the finest Hetian mutton-fat white jade, with a texture as smooth as fat, and is truly a rare treasure."

"If it were to enter the market, its value would definitely not be less than two million taels of silver."

"This young man is very impressive."

As soon as she said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Worth two million taels of silver!

This is not something that ordinary wealthy people can afford to squander.

On the other side, in a private room on the west side of the third floor.

A young man with ostentatious attire and frivolous behavior snorted coldly, seeming to be quite unhappy about this.

An old servant beside him, half of his teeth missing, said with a laugh, "To throw out two million taels in one go, this young master is quite generous."

"Humph! I think this move is clearly a provocation to me."

"Old Huang, send someone to check this guy's background right away."

The hot-tempered young man who spoke angrily was none other than the current Crown Prince of Beiliang—Xu Fengnian.

Although Xu Fengnian spoke frivolously, there was a sharp light in his eyes.

His dandy appearance is just a disguise.

……

At this time, in the Hua Manlou box.

Lu Xiaofeng was also shocked. He didn't expect that a piece of jade worn by Hua Manlou could be worth so much silver.

Two million taels of silver... He just threw it away like that?

Hua Manlou didn't care at all. He just waved at Lu Xiaofeng, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

For Hua Manlou, this little thing was far from enough to make him feel sad.

Lu Xiaofeng finally felt relieved. After clearing his throat, he said loudly, "I've heard that Mr. Su knows all the secrets of the world. I have a favor to ask of you."

"On my way here a few days ago, I learned that a major event had occurred in the martial arts world that shocked the world."

"Ximen Chuxue, known as the 'Sword God of the Ming Dynasty,' and Ye Gucheng, the Sword Immortal of the South Sea, engage in a life-and-death duel atop the Forbidden City."

"In the end, Ximen Chuixue emerged victorious, firmly securing the title of 'Number One Swordsman in the World.'"

"I have always loved swordsmanship and am extremely interested in this extraordinary battle. I wonder if Mr. Su could explain this duel to us?"

Hua Manlou, who was standing by, immediately understood Lu Xiaofeng's intention when he heard this.

Purple Forbidden City Decisive Battle!

This peak battle that shook the martial arts world had already spread widely in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world.

But the truth behind this battle is far more complicated than the rumors, and the most secretive part is only known to a very few people.

Lu Xiaofeng was one of the few people who knew the truth.

If Su Chen made any omissions in his narration, Lu Xiaofeng would notice it immediately.

And if Su Chen could tell all the hidden secrets of this duel, it would be enough to prove that he is indeed a master who "knows everything in the world" as the rumors say.

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou couldn't help but hold his breath and wait quietly for Su Chen's answer.

As expected,

Lu Xiaofeng's words instantly ignited the entire audience, and everyone echoed him.

In this world, the exchanges between the major dynasties are not frequent, but there are always some extremely talented people whose reputations spread throughout the country and are known to everyone.

Ximen Chuxue in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world is such a world-famous swordsman.

Whether in the world of Qin, Sui or Tang, there is almost no one who has not heard of Ximen Chuxue's name.

This man was truly a genius of his generation. At the age of only sixteen, he had already shocked the martial arts world. With just one sword, he swept across the Ming Dynasty martial arts world for a full ten years!

Ximen Chuxue, who is only 26 years old now, has long been respected as the number one sword god in the Ming Dynasty.
