The Supreme Powerhouse of Martial Arts

King Qi smiled and said: "The Confucian autumn sacrifice ceremony ended yesterday. Han Chen should be upright and free. The palace is not far from Sanghai. The teacher leaves today and will arrive tomorrow morning."

Cao Qiudao nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Confucianism is located in the territory of Qi State. Since Han Chen has a virtuous name, he should be used by the king."

"The teacher's words are just in line with the hearts of the widows."

"Han Yu was able to rule South Korea, thanks to the help of Han Chen, and the Qin King Yingzheng, who was able to suppress Lu Buwei, was also inseparable from Han Chen. Such a virtuous person, how can I miss it."

"Back when Han Chen was in Qin State, the teacher once told the widows that the time is not yet ripe, so they should not be overly wooed, otherwise it will only cause disgust. Now that Han Chen has returned to Qi State, the time is finally ripe."

Cao Qiudao nodded in agreement.

In the following time, the King of Qi sent an order to Yousi to prepare chariots and horses to carry precious national gifts, and finally sent Cao Qiudao out of the city in person.

Rumble!

Below the gate of the royal capital, a long convoy drove up, nearly a hundred wheels crushed the ground, making a loud noise like a sky-shattering sound. Cao Qiudao gradually drifted away as King Qi and all the officials watched him off.

King Capital Yingqiu is only one night away from Sanghai.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Qiudao's convoy arrived at Sanghai City.

All the officials in the city came out to greet him, wanting to take the opportunity to make friends with the emperor. However, Cao Qiudao was arrogant and had the king's order, so he didn't give them a chance at all, and went directly to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

In the early morning, the sound of books echoed in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

The atmosphere is peaceful, the sun is shining brightly, and it is full of the rhyme of poetry and calligraphy, showing the style of a Confucian holy place.

"As expected of Confucianism in the world, it is indeed extraordinary!"

Cao Qiudao stood in front of the gate of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, stroking his white beard, listening to the sound of reading, he couldn't help nodding his head in approval, thinking that he didn't come in vain.

At this time, the servants went to report and told the disciples of Xiaoshengxianzhuang about the emperor's arrival, and the disciples hurriedly told Fu Nian and others.

After half a cup of tea.

The Confucian master, Fu Nian, and the second master, Yan Lu, led a group of disciples and went out to welcome the distinguished guests.

"I don't know if the Master Emperor is here, but Fu Nian is far away from welcoming him, and I hope you will understand."

Hearing this, Cao Qiudao glanced at Fu Nian and Yan Lu, and asked, "Why don't you see Xun Kuang and Han Chen?"

As the teacher of the emperor of Qi, he naturally has his pride, and Fu Nian and Yan Lu couldn't get into his eyes at all.

"Uncle Xun lives in the Bamboo Forest in the Back Mountain. I have ordered my disciples to go and inform him, and he will arrive soon." Fu Nian explained to Cao Qiudao.

"What about Han Chen?"

Cao Qiudao asked.

He came to Xiaoshengxian Village this time just for Han Chen, it doesn't really matter if he sees Xun Kuang or not.

Fu Nian explained: "Sir, as early as three days ago, he had already retreated and practiced painstakingly, and now is the critical period, but the Emperor Master personally visited, and I have already asked someone to inform you...... "

"Retreat?"

Cao Qiudao frowned slightly, thinking it was a coincidence.

However, he came here with the king's order. If Han Chen stays behind closed doors, he will be disobeying the king's order. Forgive him, Han Chen would not dare.

suddenly!

"What a tyrannical breath."

Cao Qiudao's eyes were fixed, and he turned his head to look west.

In the fiery red maple forest, there was a gust of wind, the maple leaves rustled and swirled all over the sky, and in this breeze, there was an old man with white beard and white hair.

call!

Qingfeng stopped in front of Cao Qiudao, revealing Xun Kuang's kind face.

"Uncle Master."

Fu Nian and Yan Lu bowed down to salute at the same time.

Xun Kuang nodded, looked at Cao Qiudao with a smile, and said leisurely: "Mr. Cao is the number one swordsman in the Qi Kingdom, and he is known as a sword master. When I saw him today, I am sure he is like a sword, sharp and domineering."

Cao Qiudao looked at Xun Kuang, and said: "Master Xun is a man of great virtue and esteemed, with four levels of mythical cultivation. He is a strong man in the world. This old man has practiced swords all his life. He has fought hard against the strong in the world. He has never been defeated. If there is a chance in the future, he must Ask a question or two."

Xun Kuang laughed and said, "It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar. I have asked my disciples to prepare some fragrant tea in the living room. Mr. Cao, please!"

Immediately, the Confucian disciples separated to the two sides, and the center made way.

Cao Qiudao nodded, and walked into Xiaoshengxianzhuang from the main entrance with big strides.Xun Kuang walked side by side with him, and soon came to Youpeng Hall.

In the sunny hall, everyone was seated separately.

Xun Kuang smiled while drinking tea, "I am a small Confucian sage village, and I take the mission of educating the world. Although I am located in Qi State, I have little contact with the imperial court. Mr. Cao came suddenly. I don't know what to do?"

Cao Qiudao put down his teacup, and said solemnly, "Mr. Han Chen in Guizhuang is famous all over the world. Your Majesty is thirsty for talents, so I have ordered me to bring the imperial decree to invite Han Chen into the palace to have a talk."

"I see."

Chapter 3 Cao Qiudao’s Imperial Decree, Han Chen’s Attitude (3/[-])

Xun Kuang said to Cao Qiudao: "Mr. has been in seclusion for many days. Whether you are willing to enter the palace or not is not up to the old man to decide. It depends on Mr.'s will."

Can't call the shots?

Still need to see Mr.'s intention?

Hearing Xun Kuang's words, Cao Qiudao frowned.

What is his identity?

And he came here under the king's order, so Han Chen couldn't tolerate it.

Immediately, he stood up directly, took out the imperial decree from his sleeve, and read aloud: "By heaven, the king's decree said: Confucian Han Chen, a virtuous and martial artist, a talent to help the world, I love him very much, I hereby issue this decree, and I am responsible for immediately Let’s set off and go to the king’s capital to face the saint, there must be no mistakes, this is it!”

In an instant, everyone in the hall bowed down.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is located in the state of Qi, and no one dares to neglect the imperial decree of the king of Qi.

After reading the imperial decree, Cao Qiudao looked down at the people below, and asked coldly, "Have you heard the king's decree clearly?"

King Qi's imperial decree has been issued, if you don't obey it, you will be against the King, and you will be against the entire Qi State.

"My lord, I will personally inform you sir."

Yan Lu stood up, quickly walked out of the hall, and walked towards the Zhulin Abode.

Fu Nian said: "My lord, the younger brother has already gone to inform, and I think the master will arrive soon, please wait a moment."

"Well, that's more or less the case."

Cao Qiudao showed a satisfied expression, and immediately sat on the chair, drank tea slowly and waited.

……

Little Shengxian Village, deep in the bamboo forest.

Yanlingji, Wushuanggui, Baifeng, and Moya are located in the four directions of the abode, with a distance of hundreds of feet from each other. They either sit cross-legged in meditation, or enjoy the shade under the tree. They are guarded here day and night, and outsiders are not allowed to come closer.

Han Chen has been in retreat for three days, and has reached a critical period.

Any disturbance in the bamboo forest will be quickly contained by them.

If anyone dares to destroy Han Chen's practice, then they only have one word, kill!

suddenly!

A gust of strong wind blows into the bamboo grove and quickly rushes towards the retreat abode.

In an instant, Yan Lingji, Wushuang Gui, Bai Feng, and Mo Crow, who were far away in the four directions, frowned at the same time, their bodies turned into streamers, and intercepted the strong wind.

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Four masters of the highest realm, from four different positions, swiftly passed through the bamboo forest, startled the birds in the forest, and surrounded the comer in an instant.

"Who is coming!"

"it's me!"

The strong wind stopped suddenly, revealing Yan Lu's figure.

Bai Feng asked: "I don't know what's the matter, Mr. suddenly came here?"

Mo Crow asked: "But you want to see my master?"

Yan Lingji said: If you want to see the master, you can please come back, the master has not finished his retreat, so there will be no guests! "

They didn't want anyone to disturb Han Chen.

Just now, a Confucian student said that he was ordered by Fu Nian to see Han Chen, and that there was something important to do, so he was immediately sent away by them.

Seeing the posture of the crowd, Yan Lu quickly explained, saying: "Cao Qiudao, the emperor of Qi, suddenly came to the village this morning, and brought the imperial decree from the king of Qi, stating that he wants to see you, sir. Please forgive me."

Cao Qiudao?

King Qi's imperial decree?

The four of them frowned at the same time, knowing that this matter was no small matter.

Yan Lingji said: "Cao Qiudao is the emperor's master of the state of Qi, and he enjoys the title of sword master. Now, he came to Xiaoshengxian village with the imperial decree. This matter is too big. I can't make the decision. Mr. made it clear."

"Ok!"

Mo Crow, Bai Feng, and Wushuang Ghost all nodded.

At the same time, they all moved out of the way, and they stopped embarrassing Yanlu.

"Mr. Yan Lu, please!" Yan Lingji said.

"Thank you, everyone."

Yan Lu looked grateful, clasped his fists slightly, and was not there immediately?

In an instant, he came to the door of the monastery.

dong dong dong...

Gently knocked on the bamboo door, Yan Lu looked respectful, clasped his fists and said to the inside of the door: "Sir, you are practicing in seclusion, Yan Lu shouldn't disturb you, but Cao Qiudao, the emperor of Qi, came to the village with an imperial decree, and he wants to invite you to come As a guest in the palace, I hope you will show up and see him."

The sound was not loud, but it could float into the room and let Han Chen hear it.
