Chapter 10, Capture the Five Absolutes Again

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The people in the room were initially puzzled, but upon hearing these words, their expressions suddenly changed, while Gu Chengze smiled.

Gu Chenghuan looked around, taking in the expressions of everyone present. What surprised him the most was Su Nianqiao, the unparalleled beauty adored by countless admirers, who merely paused for a moment before stepping forward and saying: "Thank you, Young Master, for your generous gift"

The beautiful woman changed color and hurried outside, and soon after, screams were heard.

Han Tizhou's eyes turned, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into: "Does Lord Huang have any methods to teach me?"

Gu Cheng, however, could not simply let this matter rest. He waved his hand, and the guards behind him understood and withdrew. At the same time, he raised his cup towards the room and said, "Miss, your heavenly melody lingers in the air; may I have the honor of meeting you?"

The scholar in the blue robe was unruly, and the arrival of Prince Jia, Gu Cheng, was not benevolent. The atmosphere in the room was already tense, yet as soon as the sound of the flute began, the mood surprisingly became peaceful.

Gu Cheng's heart stirred, and he smiled, saying: "Please, sir, go ahead!"

The sound of clashing weapons soon echoed, accompanied by the sounds of bows and crossbows. After the elaborate ambush against Hong Qi, Captain Jin would certainly not let his guard down. As expected, these individuals from the martial world were terrifyingly strong, but fortunately, they were well-prepared

Your Highness, may I have a word with you?" Han Tuozhou lowered his head, making it difficult to discern his expression, when suddenly Huang Shang spoke up.

Slow down! However, the scholar in the blue robe ultimately did not resort to violence. With a flick of his sleeve, a crystal-clear jade flute was grasped in his hand. He addressed Gu Chenghan, saying: "Since Your Highness is interested in the sound of the flute, I have a piece to share. Please enjoy it!"

Of course, if the Five Absolutes are still the Five Absolutes at that time

Among the beautiful women that Gu Cheng has seen in his three lifetimes, aside from Empress He, this one is the most beautiful, causing his heart to involuntarily race faster.

Gu Cheng leisurely watched the play, his mind wandering with aimless thoughts as he observed Han Shizhou

"Hey, Uncle, why are you being so distant with me!" Gu Cheng helped him up and said with a smile, "You can completely redeem yourself through your contributions!"

Ultimately, it is better to secure it.

Everyone exclaimed in admiration, truly living up to the expectations that had been eagerly awaited for so long

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Decades later, will he boast to the younger constables, saying, "I captured two of the five most renowned masters in the martial world"

Huang Yaoshi harbored deep resentment towards the court. To speak fairly, this was certainly the fault of Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou of the Song dynasty. However, as a prince, could Gu Cheng possibly apologize to him on behalf of his ancestors?

Huang Shang raised her eyebrows: "What, is Lord Han unwilling?"

Unfortunately, you are destined to miss the opportunity, considering the time, it should be about time for it to arrive, right

Upon hearing these words, even the smile of the beautiful lady froze.

Good! Good! Good!

She is merely a courtesan

Not only that, this madman will soon rely on his formidable martial skills to go to the Prime Minister's residence, the Ministry of War, and even outside the imperial city to post grand notices, forcing the court to dispatch hundreds of troops to capture him day and night, ultimately returning empty-handed

However, he kept in mind the purpose of this trip and uttered a statement that astonished the entire audience: "The Bridge Girl truly lives up to her reputation, behold!"

In his daily life, he was not only rebellious but even openly cursed the Zhao royal family, declaring his intention to overthrow the Song Dynasty and kill the emperor and the current officials to avenge the grievances of his ancestors. He committed serious offenses in his hometown.

Huang Chang gently stroked his long beard: "Lord Han, being a military general by background, has a bold personality and often enjoys making friends. Such reckless individuals, who are ignorant of national principles and presume to speak nonsense simply because they possess some talent, are not to be feared. Why should Lord Han lower himself and take personal action?"

Nine-turn Bear Snake Pill

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful woman eagerly said: "Commoners should not be seen, how can such a distinguished guest as Young Master not be seen? Good daughter, why don't you come out and meet Young Master Zhao?"

Indeed, these actions earned him a reputation in the martial arts world, as he openly criticized the authorities and slandered the court without restraint, voicing the thoughts that the common people wished to express but dared not say. This approach resonated with those in the martial arts community, leading to him being later known by the title of "Eastern Heretic"

Gu Cheng smiled faintly, picked up his wine glass, and indeed, a sudden uproar erupted outside, with someone shouting: "Surround this place!"

Soon, a group of people marched in with great strides, and the leader was none other than Captain Jin, who had recently captured Hong Qi. After bowing to Gu Cheng and Han Shizhou, he announced in a loud voice: "Everyone, do not panic, we are here to apprehend a major criminal of the court"

Han Tizhou felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at him, and ultimately knelt down, saying: "I, your servant, have failed to recognize the person, please punish me, Your Highness"

This is truly vicious; regardless of who wins or loses, he is the ultimate loser, and it may even expose more things.

However... Huang Shang wished to suppress before raising: "Your Highness, with your precious body, how should we deal with such lawless individuals from the rivers and lakes if we encounter them again in the future?"

Han Tizhou raised his head, concealing the unusual color in his eyes, and said gratefully: "It is indeed! It is indeed!"

The man in the blue shirt is Huang Yaoshi, who comes from a prestigious family. His ancestors had made significant contributions by supporting Zhao Kuangyin, receiving titles of nobility. It was not until his grandfather, who served as an imperial censor, repeatedly petitioned for justice during the wrongful persecution of Yue Fei by Qin Hui, that their family fell into decline due to his demotion and poisoning, leading to the exile of the entire family.

At this moment, with a command from Captain Jin, he had already led the crowd to pounce forward

She hurried into the inner room, and after a round of persuasion, the light veil was lifted, revealing a figure of graceful elegance finally appearing before us

The scholar in a blue robe felt a surge of blood and energy, his fists clenched tightly, nearly driven to the point of fury that would make his hair stand on end

After the performance, Huang Shang was the first to applaud in praise, and Han Tizhou also revealed a smile. After a few moments, Gu Cheng and the scholar in the blue robe finally came to their senses, their expressions having greatly softened, while the others remained immersed in the experience

"I am willing! I am willing!" Han Tizhou's voice was deep as he took out a small vial from his bosom and handed it to Gu Cheng as if it were a matter of life and death: "This is a miraculous medicine I obtained during my travels in the mountains many years ago. It can heal all wounds and is called..."

Gu Cheng was ordered to take action to capture Huang Yaoshi

Oh? You could endure it before, but now you are willing to tear your face for a woman? Others believe that this is the softening of the blue-clad scholar, but Gu Cheng knows that this is likely the opponent's true lethal move.

Her face was partially veiled, revealing only the majority of her features, yet the pair of elegantly arched eyebrows and her pitch-black eyes were already strikingly captivating. With a mere glance, she could enchant any man, and when combined with her skin, which appeared to be sculpted from flawless white jade, she was truly breathtaking.

Such mastery has reached a state of transcendence

Farewell, may the green mountains remain unchanged and the clear waters flow forever

However, when the emperor's only son truly appeared before him, he hesitated to take action and kill him.

Han Tizhou was taken aback, and upon realizing it, a chill ran through his entire body

The beautiful woman, however, did not care at all about what this impoverished white-skinned man thought; she had only ingratiated herself with Han Shizhou to come in and solicit prostitutes, truly believing herself to be a charming and romantic talent

But now, with a single sentence from Gu Cheng, Su Nianqiao was cast down from the clouds, returning to reality

Huang Chang smiled and said: "Why does Lord Han ask knowingly? In the past, I learned some techniques of the Yellow Emperor's medicine. Hearing that you have a miraculous elixir in your sleeve to present to His Highness for self-defense, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Witnessing this scene, the scholar in the blue robe had his chest heaving, nearly exploding with emotion, while Han Tizhou retreated to the side, observing coldly.

Su Nianqiao turned her delicate body and went into the inner room, while the scholar in the blue robe listened intently, lowering his jade flute, his expression fluctuating between dark and light.

His gaze was like lightning, immediately locking onto the scholar in the blue robe: "Huang Jing'an, did you destroy the Minglun Hall of the Qingyuan Prefecture and post a notice outside the Kongfu gate, denouncing the emperor for ruining the virtuous and criticizing the government's malpractices? Is this true?"

Three months ago, the girl from the bridge appeared in Lin'an, and after winning the title of the top courtesan with a song "Remembering the Flute on Phoenix Terrace," she has never shown her true face to anyone since! The scholar in a blue robe said coldly, and although his tone was no longer sharp and confrontational, there was still a strong hint of mockery.

What an impressive sound of the xiao, devoid of any true energy, yet it can surprisingly dispel the malice within people's hearts

The sound of this flute is truly extraordinary; it seemingly lacks a fixed melody, resembling an impromptu creation made with a casual gesture. Yet, it immerses one's senses in the breaths and transitions between the notes, providing an unparalleled sense of ease.

However, Huang Yaoshi's agility surpassed that of Hong Qigong. With a long laugh, he glided through like a wisp of green smoke, breaking through the encirclement with barely a gap to spare. He took a deep glance into the inner room and leaped out.

Su Nianqiao, who is she? A legendary courtesan, many nobles and dignitaries yearn to meet her but cannot. Although everyone knows this is a tactic of the Daiqing Courtyard, this woman excels in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, reaching a state of perfection. Her skills indeed have gained fame in the capital, and thus, people willingly accept it.

Han Tianzhou was taken aback

What is most astonishing is her temperament; despite her origins in a brothel, she possesses an ethereal quality reminiscent of lush grass and a clear blue sky, evoking a sense that completely dispels any notion of desecration
