Palace Turmoil

Everyone sighed in despair.

How could the people of Peach Blossom Island not know?

Huang Yaoshi loved antiques and calligraphy the most. Qu Lingfeng broke into the imperial palace to steal, naturally hoping to find some antiques to please Huang Yaoshi and also hoping to have the opportunity to reunite with him.

Ultimately, he died because of Huang Yaoshi, so how can one not feel regret and sigh?

"Please accept my condolences, senior. Although Brother Qu has passed away, he left behind a daughter who is somewhat mentally challenged for some reason and is also known as 'Silly Girl.' She is currently living a muddled life in Niujia Village."

"Does Lingfeng still have descendants?"

Upon hearing Ji Boying's words, even the proud Huang Yaoshi couldn't contain his reaction.

"Indeed, there are descendants still alive. That Silly Girl still has a few unsystematic kung fu moves, but she has no lower body strength at all. She must have learned them by stealing them from Senior Brother Qu when he was practicing."

Huang Yaoshi nodded repeatedly, agreeing that all his disciples were good kids.

"They are all obedient. They do not pass on the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island without my permission. They have learned the hand skills, but they do not have the lower body strength. Naturally, they learned them by watching Lingfeng practice. If Lingfeng were to teach them himself, he would not have taught them in such a way."

Huang Yaoshi stood up abruptly.

"Boying, Huang Yaoshi would like to express his gratitude once again today."

Ji Boying smiled and waved his hand.

"Senior, there's no need for such politeness. Patriarch Chongyang and Seventh Master are both good friends of yours, and your daughter and I hit it off immediately and became friends. We're practically family."

"Well!"

Huang Yaoshi patted Ji Boying on the shoulder.

"Since that's the case, then there's no need to stand on ceremony. If you don't mind, you can call me 'Uncle-Master,' which would be just right."

Ji Boying would never complain. If he said no at this moment, Huang Yaoshi would think he looked down on him.

He was already eyeing the Peach Blossom Island kung fu, and since he wouldn't lose out anyway.

"Uncle-Master, there is a secret room in that dilapidated inn in Niujia Village. Brother Qu's remains and his collection of antiques and calligraphy are all inside."

Huang Yaoshi coldly said, "After I've taken care of Lingfeng's funeral arrangements, I'll go to the imperial palace and settle this score with them properly. Let's see if their palace guards are stronger, or if they're just bullying my disciple because he's crippled. Even if they're from Peach Blossom Island, what can they do if I want to take some of their things? Who dares to object?"

Both Ji Boying and Huang Rong were delighted to hear Huang Yaoshi say this.

Well, this is great, we've got this unexpected bonus.

Although Huang Yaoshi harbored deep resentment towards the Song Court, he possessed a certain air of madman Chu.

It will probably take some effort to persuade him to deal with the Song Dynasty.

Now things are much better. Since he's about to take action himself because of Qu Lingfeng's matter, we can simply guide him to achieve our goal.

"If Martial Uncle wants to teach the Song Court a lesson, what's the harm in killing a few people? It's insignificant. Which of the corrupt officials in the court would care about human lives?"

Ji Boying stirred things up as he spoke.

"In my opinion, it would be better to seize their kingdom, sever their roots, and let their lifelong glory vanish in an instant!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi not only wasn't angry, but instead laughed.

"You really are a maverick, just like me."

"However, with such a vast empire, it would take me a lot of effort to dig it up by myself. I don't have the time to waste with them."

Lu Guanying, gripping the long sword at his waist, boldly chimed in from the side.

"Such a wicked dynasty should be destroyed as soon as possible; it doesn't deserve to remain in this world. Brother Ji... Uncle Ji, do you know what I've been doing these past few days in my military uniform?"

"Oh? Are they fighting against the imperial troops?"

When Lu Guanying said that, everyone couldn't help but think in that direction.

But Lu Guanying looked gloomy.

"It is, but not entirely!"

He sighed and began to explain.

"This happened some time ago, and it's really embarrassing to talk about it."

"A while ago, one of our brothers reported that someone was using snakes to injure people. Fortunately, the Beggar Gang's Clan brothers came to our aid. They were ordered by Gang Leader Hong to carry snake medicine and treat the people along the way. We wanted to investigate the truth and find out who was behind it, but the Beggar Gang's Clan brothers stopped us."

"Fortunately, we stopped you. Since it was the Old Beggar's order and someone was using snakes to injure people, it must be the Old Poison who went south. If you had run into him, you would have been doomed."

Hearing Huang Yaoshi say this, and recalling Huang Yaoshi's skills, Lu Guanying felt lingering fear. Fortunately, he listened to the advice and did not stubbornly persist.

"That's what the Beggar Gang's Sect brothers said too."

Huang Rong and the others also understood why Lu Guanying was so enthusiastic when they met; it wasn't just because he was good at dealing with people.

It was probably because he dealt with the poisonous snake incident with the Beggar Gang's Sect that they formed some kind of friendship.

Therefore, upon hearing that it was a disciple of the Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar who had come to visit, he disregarded his father's orders not to receive outsiders.

"Although we dared not confront the enemy, we could only watch helplessly as they injured people along the way. Following the path of the venomous snake, we arrived at Lin'an City."

"After only one night's rest, a sudden change occurred. It turned out that Ouyang Feng broke into the palace under the cover of night, causing a huge disturbance and killing countless people."

"And the brothers found out about several concubines in the harem, and they brought them out. They were all bitten to death by poisonous snakes."

"I was just making a fuss about it, but I never expected it to be a conspiracy by the Jin people. I don't know why they broke into the palace, but some of my brothers spotted the figure of the Sixth Prince of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Yes, it was Wanyan Honglie who did this. He probably brought Ouyang Feng Qiu Qianren with him, right?"

Huang Rong spoke in a charming voice.

"Indeed, after the brothers' investigation, it was found that some of the dead and wounded were injured by extremely powerful palm strikes. If it was Qiu Qianren, then it would not be surprising."

Lu Guanying said.

Huang Rong nodded.

"That's how it should be. Wanyan Honglie, along with Ouyang Feng and his son, and Qiu Qianren, broke into the palace to seize the Wumu's Testament."

"The Wumu's Testament!!"

Huang Yaoshi, Lu Chengfeng, Lu Guanying were all shocked.

"Oh dear, this is a big problem. I have to tell the brothers to keep a close eye on the search and put in more effort. These days we have been working in vain and the brothers are getting a little discouraged. In order to encourage the brothers, I have no choice but to personally go out every day and lead the brothers to search for traces of the Jin people on the lake."

At that moment, Lu Guanying didn't even care that Huang Yaoshi was there; he turned around and was about to leave.

Ji Boying quickly stopped him.

"Young Master, there is no need to worry. The Jin people will not succeed. The Wumu's Testament is already in our hands. They have come to the wrong place."
