Chapter 281: 159, 160. Once again, the True Martial Emperor Monarch, Xiao Family crosses the sea (Large Chapter - Subscription Request)_3

These trusted confidants were naturally confirmed as "Song Cheng’s men".

But Zhao Hua actually had an extra backup plan, which was Qin Wanquan and others.

Now, leading the Imperial Capital’s troops out to war, he had also chosen a good opportunity.

War can nourish war, and it can train soldiers.

If he could win, his fame would be illustrious, and he would once again establish dominance, becoming utterly difficult to deal with.

Therefore, the Emperor even hoped a little that the Six Towns could win.

That’s why Qin Wanquan and others believed their master was Song Cheng.

And at this moment, seeing this unfamiliar "True Martial Emperor Monarch", Qin Wanquan, as the Grand Tutor, actually felt somewhat bewildered and at a loss, since as a "century-old turtle", the Grand Tutor has a wealth of information.

But he had never heard of the "True Martial Emperor Monarch".

Nevertheless, after carefully putting away the Visualization Portrait, he quietly saw Song Cheng out, then watched as the mysterious Emperor disappeared in the shadows of the Imperial City’s alleys in the twilight before dawn, his heart lamenting the turbidity of the waters in the Imperial Capital nowadays.

...

...

After leaving the Grand Tutor Mansion, Song Cheng originally wanted to take a glance at the Holy Bright Temple, but thinking it over, he decided against it...

Through Grand Tutor Qin, he roughly knew... The Holy Bright Temple is a very sacred place, where the incense burns constantly, and whether it be the Emperor or the Empress Dowager, even Zhao Hua has to pay respects.

And the Buddha worshiped at the Holy Bright Temple is the "Saint Heavenly Buddha".

Song Cheng did not want the "Saint Heavenly Buddha" to know that he appeared in the Imperial Capital, nor did he want to expose Qin Wanquan and others and ruin Zhao Hua’s plan, so... he came quietly and left quietly.

...

...

After wandering around outside for such a big circle, he was back at his true self, still in a secret room.

In the glow of dawn, Su Mengzhen sat cross-legged, her pure white skirt spreading around her, forming a dreamlike waltz, while her long eyelashes lightly coated in dawn’s golden light, had an aura of sacredness that seemed untouchable.

Felling a stir, Su Mengzhen opened her eyes and asked, "You went to see Xiang for so long this time?"

Song Cheng just smiled.

The matters of the Imperial Capital are unsolvable mysteries that carry wide implications and must remain secret.

The existence of people like Grand Tutor Qin Wanquan... must not be known to be connected to him, Song Cheng.

And if his guess was correct, soon... the aftermath of Zhao Hua’s slaying of the court’s officials and generals will arrive.

Even if he was in the North, he could not escape it.

After a brief moment of closing his eyes, he calculated in his mind and said, "Sister Su, the matter of the Xiao Family I mentioned before might start soon."

The "Saint Heavenly Buddha" wanted him to compete for supremacy over the world. Originally, there was no rush, but with the incident in the Imperial Capital, the "Saint Heavenly Buddha" would definitely rush the timing...

Su Mengzhen said nothing, stood up, walked over, lifted the sacred skirt, and tore off Song Cheng’s restraints. After an indescribable and indefinable event, she said lightly, "Song, don’t forget, you are the Six-tails of my Su Family."

Song Cheng lay flat on the ground, watching the beauty who looked down upon him from above and gently nodded.

Su Mengzhen bent down again, her red lips touched him lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water, then stood up, tightened her skirt, wrapped herself tightly, and turned to the door of the secret room, saying, "After you defect, I will pretend to leave with Yu, but in reality, I will already be in the An Residence secretly protecting your wife and children."

But the agreement is... I am not planning to remove you from the Su Family’s spirit tablet, don’t think you can deceive me!"

Song Cheng laughed, "How could I be willing to?"

Su Mengzhen swayed her hips, left the room, and as the door was about to close, she poked her dignified face out and with parted red lips said softly, "From now on, I’ll be exclusively yours... but if you deceive me, hmm!"

Snap!

The door closed.

A myriad of emotions still hung in the air.

The aftertaste lingered for a long while before it settled.

Song Cheng appreciated the quiet of the moment and began to ponder over the "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra’s" Seven-Tails Dharma Method.

The Seven-Tails Dharma Method says one must contact an existence "even more terrifying than the Twin Ghosts", then go through a more intricate "Reappear Calamity", and repeat the steps taken at "Mysterious Level Grade C" to condense more tails and step into a higher realm.

But no one from the Su Family had ever practiced up to Seven Tails...

This Dharma Method was completely the Su Family’s conjecture.

Song Cheng felt it was a bit unreliable to actively seek out an existence more terrifying than the Twin Ghosts.

Unless... the merging with Drowning Ghost could be completed.

This trip to the Imperial Capital was filled with many emotions.

Ordinary people struggle fiercely only to vie for power... but as he simply grew stronger, his influence naturally spread far and wide.

If his "Medicinal Human" was not capable of reaching the Pseudo-Profound Realm, how could Zhao Hua control beings like Grand Tutor Qin Wanquan?

Beneath the seemingly insane and irrational phenomena lay dark transactions.

And this transaction... was merely about becoming one of his dependents.

How ironic?

Suddenly, Song Cheng thought of the "Emperor".

The Emperor, the Emperor, the son of Heaven... So, was there once someone as powerful as "Heaven" who took someone as a dependent, blessed him, secretly helped him, and enabled that person to become the Emperor, self-styled as the son of Heaven?

In the place where Dashang was founded, the custom established by the Emperors to annually worship the "Wu River God", could it... be hinting at something?

Song Cheng closed his eyes to ponder, and his thoughts gradually scattered.

...

...

Days passed, and the first batch of spies who reached the Wine Prefecture in East Sea State brought back information on the Prefectural City.

The five-year-old Ting spoke clearly, as if reading a book, earnestly relayed the intelligence to her mother who held her in her arms...

And Ling was writing down the important information beside her.

The Wine Prefecture is the northernmost prefectural city in East Sea State, and also the closest major city to Northern Snow State.
