Gaining Strength in the Chaos

Chapter 4

After a few months, the Lord of Ping was already fifteen years old, and his knowledge of the world was beginning to see the light.

Thinking back to what Wang Mang had done a few years ago, he felt indignant at the fact that he had pushed the new country forward by force. This had caused widespread unrest; the civil and military officials of the entire court only echoed what Wang Mang had done to them, which made him an imperial failure and glorified his evil ambitions even more. Therefore, when he saw Wang Mang several times, he could not help but look angry and his words agitated; he also spat out some complaint behind the scenes, scolding the Empress. He had never thought that most eunuchs in the palace were watched by Wang Mang. Of course, someone would report it. He was to blame for Liu Yan's youth and lack of knowledge, which made him want to kill, and he wanted to give up his work.

On the twelfth lunar month, the new year was coming, and the imperial family would hold a big banquet for the ministers as usual.

Wang Mang had secretly talked about the confidants in advance. He poisoned the imperial concubines in the palace and made a mark. In the banquet, the wine glasses were interlaced and laughter was continuous. The king and the ministers were harmonious, forming a peaceful atmosphere.

Wang Mang gave a look, and then a eunuch came forward and reported, "Minister of Duke An, Prime Minister Wang, led hundreds of officials to present a cup of pepper wine to the emperor, we wish him a long-lasting and strong man!" As he said this, he presented a cup of wine on the tray.

Liu Yan did not suspect anything. He picked up his wine glass and drank it up. When the ministers saw this, they all left their seats and knelt down, shouting "Long Live His Majesty".

After the banquet, Liu Yan returned to the temporary imperial residence. In the evening, he suddenly felt as if his stomach was being twisted by a knife and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

When the Empress saw this, she called the imperial physician. The palace was in a mess for a while.

The next day, when Wang Mang and the other ministers received the letter, they went into the palace to check on Liu Yan. Seeing that Liu Yan's face was pale and his breathing was weak, they all sighed in their hearts. After a few days, news came from the palace saying that the emperor had passed away.

The Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict, took back the jade seal and announced it to the world. The whole country was in an uproar at the moment. The Emperor of Ping, Liu Yan, had no son. With Wang Mang's hammer, Liu Ying, a two-year-old child of Emperor Xuanzong, became the Emperor. The history was called "The Baby-headed baby".

Wang Mang was supported by his aunt, the Empress Dowager, and his daughter. Coupled with the recommendation of hundreds of court officials, he was given the title of "False Emperor" and acted on behalf of the Emperor. In fact, he was exactly the same as the real Emperor.

In the past, when the Emperor of Ping was still alive, there was still a constraint in carrying out the new policy. Now that the time was ripe, Wang Mang gave the order and the entire country was busy preparing for it.

At this time, the northern Xiongnu slaves were ready to take action; the barbarians in the northeastern and southwest regions were also plundering at the border, killing and setting fire frequently; the big men in Haiqu County of Langya County, there were thousands of rebels who claimed to be the mother of Lyu, killed officials and took over the city, opened warehouses to provide for the people. The locals rushed to Chang'an, and people were panic-stricken for a while.

Wang Mang was also extremely busy. He deployed troops everywhere to quell the rebellion. When the world was about to fall into chaos, beacons of war were lit everywhere, and under the new government, it was even more difficult for the people to live. The reason was not that the new government was not good. It was just that officials were corrupt and corrupt. Coupled with the lack of manpower, the court was even more corrupt. The country was already in a precarious state.

###Chapter3, Like Smoke

With a series of 'bang bang' sounds, the two figures in the courtyard suddenly split apart. A strong gust of wind caused the nearby rain to dance in the air.

She clapped her hands and laughed. "Grandpa Fu, you can't defeat your younger brother now!" Her voice was mellow and pleasant to listen to, like pearls rolling over a jade plate.

There were two people standing in the courtyard. They were Wang Feng and Ah Fu. Ah Fu coughed repeatedly and bent over to gasp. He sighed, "I'm old and useless. Childe Feng is smart. In just a few years, he seems to be stronger than me. I have nothing to teach him!"

At this time, Wang Cang and his wife walked out of the house. Wang Cang said, "Uncle Fu, I've told you many times not to regard yourself as a servant. Now Feng'er and Xiaoyu are master and disciple, and we, husband and wife, treat you as our uncle. Do you despise our Wang family?"

Ah Fu said, "Master's words are too harsh. A day is a servant, and a lifetime is a slave. I'm extremely grateful to the old master of the Wang family for taking me in when I was buried by him. I'm also benevolent, kind, and kind to the whole royal family. I'm as close as my family, and I know all of this. It's just that I'm unworthy of my reputation. As long as I live in the Wang family for the first day, I'll become a slave of the Wang family. In the future, it'll be as you've said, Master." Wang Cang and his wife looked at each other, sighed, and turned back to their rooms.

Ah Fu said to Wang Feng and Xiaoyu, "Young Master, Miss, please come with me." After that, he went to the side room.

The side room was the place where Ah Fu lived. It was a courtyard in the front and a living room on the left. At the moment, the siblings followed Ah Fu into the room. The decoration in the room was extremely simple. There was only one bed, one chair, one table, and a small black wooden box at the corner of the room.

A Fu called Wang Feng and his sister to sit down on the bed and sat himself in the chair. For a while, no one spoke. It was extremely quiet in the room, and only the breathing of the three people could be heard.

The brother and sister were uneasy. They did not know why Grandpa Fu asked them here. When they were thinking about random things, A Fu opened his mouth and asked, "Young master, do you know who I used to be?"

Wang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard that Grandpa Fu's surname is Long and he possesses martial arts. However, he doesn't know anything else." Little Yu also nodded beside him.

Ah Fu said, "I'm afraid that no one knows my real life. As for the martial arts, the old master and the old master also know it." The old master and the old master he mentioned referred to Wang Feng's great-grandfather and his grandfather Wang Rulong.

A Fu paused and said, "That day in Luoyang, Old Master Meng took him in. At that time, they were only ten years old. After entering the Wang family, they began to practice ancestral kung fu, which was seen by Old Master Meng occasionally. One night, a group of strong men jumped over the wall. Old Master Meng actually asked Old Master Meng to hand over the ancestral medical records, otherwise he would fire the Manor.

The old master asked the old man and his wife to go to get the medical books. The strong men saw First Madam's beauty and began to covet her. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stepped forward and knocked them down to the ground. After asking one of them, they finally knew that it was Dong Xianzhi's younger brother who did it.

At that time, the old man got married not long ago and the couple loved each other. Dong Xianzhi's younger brother and the old master both worked in the Imperial Hospital. Originally, Dong Xianzhi was ignorant and incompetent, but he entered the Imperial Hospital relying on Dong Xian's influence. Knowing that the old master had excellent medical skills, he became greedy when he learned that the Wang family had an ancestral medical book. He couldn't take it in secret, so he came to take it out openly.

At that time, I wanted to kill them all, so I went to the Dong Manor to kill them all. But the old man stopped the servants and let them go. Fortunately, they were all safe and sound.

Until your father was born and the doctor passed away. They moved to the suburbs of Chang'an City. On the day of your birthday, the elder master came and asked me to teach you two martial arts.

As for the ingredients that Young Master Feng used, it was me who had obtained them from the First Master. It was just that this old servant was a little curious. There were some ingredients that didn't seem to belong to the human world. Where did the First Master get them from?" Ah Fu frowned as he pondered. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, "That's too far. Let's get down to business first."

He said slowly, "More than two hundred years ago, the world was chaotic and there were frequent wars. On the top of the Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, a stone fell from the sky every day, which immediately smashed dozens of cultivators into pieces.

In a rage, the Headmaster of the Kunlun Sect drew his sword and hacked the stone into two. There was a roll of silk ribbon hidden in the stone. When he took it out, it was ten feet wide and full of black words. The words were neither seal scripts nor official script, and the form was like a silk ribbon. No one could recognize it. Everyone only knew that its extraordinary origin was extraordinary. It was placed in the Sutras Depository in a careful place. On one side, dozens of words were printed on it, and people had visited the world to learn it.

After a few years, the disciples that were sent back one after another, and everyone said that no one knew this word. Therefore, a catastrophe was triggered, and the Kunlun Sect was almost destroyed. Wang Feng and Xiaoyu were shocked when they heard this. They had long heard that Kunlun was an orthodox sect of the Taoism. The martial arts were as vast as the sea, and the swordsmanship was connected to the gods. There was no lack of Xuan immortals, and no one in the world dared to compete with them. "

Thinking of this, Wang Feng asked, "Why?" A Fu said, "It wasn't from the Tomes of Arcane." Then, he started to narrate a story—

Just when Lingyin felt that there was no way to unravel the mystery of the Divine Book, dozens of people suddenly flew over from the sky of Kunlun one day. They stood on the flying swords as fast as meteors.

Ling Yin was amazed and was about to step forward to salute. Dozens of people landed at the gate of Kunlun Mountain. One of them asked, "I heard that there is a treasure in Kunlun Mountain. Would you like to have a look with me?"
