Chapter 237 Shocking Change
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "We are safer if we come back with Hero Song and the others. Since there is strength in numbers, we will go down the mountain first. We have left Jimin Medical Clinic for quite some time, so we need to go back and take a look."
Zhang Sanfeng originally wanted to keep Xin Zhen and the other two for a few days, but after hearing about such an important matter, he did not dare to force them to stay, and said, "Okay, since Brother Zhou Yan has something important to do, go ahead and do it. When you are done, you must come to Wudang and stay for a while."
Xin Zhen nodded, and then said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Master Zhang, you must be careful these days to prevent someone from using the news to launch a sneak attack. As long as Master is safe, Wudang Mountain will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Zhang Sanfeng was an old and experienced man. He understood what Xin Zhen said and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll remember it."
Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo went down the mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng carefully listened to Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou's information about the siege of Guangmingding. When he heard that Xin Zhen defeated the six major sects by himself, he could not help but be surprised and said, "Has brother Zhou Yan's martial arts reached this level?
Yes, Tai Chi is so profound and extensive. Since he was able to create Tai Chi, his attainments in martial arts have reached a level that is difficult for the world to understand.
Amazing, amazing, he seems to be about the same age as Wuji, there really are geniuses like him in this world, this is the only way to explain it all."
This journey is really long and tiring. Although fighting is quite interesting during the journey, after all, people who have been traveling for a long time just want to go back and have a good rest for a while, and do what they usually do in peace.
Occasionally, you can stay in bed and watch the morning mist and sunrise by the river. When the sun sets, the two of you can set up a small table and boil water to make tea. It is really desirable.
When I didn’t go out in the past, I also liked this kind of life. But after a long trip, the things that I didn’t think were so precious in the past became extremely precious.
Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo happily descended Mount Wudang, took a boat down the Han River, and smelled the unique scent of the Han River. Both Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo were very happy.
It was very fast to go downstream, and by dusk, the boat arrived at Laohekou.
However, when Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo looked at the Jimin Medical Clinic on the shore, they both had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Because in the past, even in the middle of the night, the Jimin Medical Clinic was always brightly lit, because there were hospitalized patients and the emergency department was also open all night, but at this time, looking from the boat, it was pitch black.
Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo had no time to ask the boatman about the situation. Before the boat even reached the shore, they jumped onto the shore, causing the ignorant village women to kneel down and pray to the river god.
The Jimin Medical Clinic was right on the shore. Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo arrived there in a flash, only to find that the door of the Jimin Medical Clinic had collapsed.
After entering, I found that the huge Jimin Medical Clinic was in complete darkness. Occasionally, there were tables and chairs overturned, herbs scattered outside without anyone picking them up, and medical instruments and so on scattered everywhere. It was obvious that the people in the clinic either evacuated in a hurry or were kidnapped. From the looks of it, they must have been kidnapped.
Zhou Zhiruo suddenly shouted, "Brother Xin, come here quickly."
Xin Zhen took a few steps to Zhou Zhiruo's side. Zhou Zhiruo looked at the big words on the wall: Doctor Zhou, I will wait for you in Dadu.
The signature below reads: Unknown.
Zhou Zhiruo was annoyed. She turned to look at Xin Zhen and found that his face was gloomier than ever before. She couldn't help but feel a little scared and whispered, "Brother Xin."
Xin Zhen saw Zhou Zhiruo's expression and knew that he might have frightened her a little. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Since Zhao Min ignored my warning, I will go to Dadu. I will take the heads of Prince Ruyang and Wang Baobao!"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded immediately and said, "Should we call Hero Song and the others? They may be going to Dadu to rescue the people from the five major sects, right?" Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "If we go with them, we will be too conspicuous. If the Ruyang Palace is prepared, even with my kung fu, it will be difficult to get close. Let's go quietly. After we cut off the heads of Ruyang Prince and Wang Baobao, Ruyang Palace will definitely be in chaos. We can then cooperate with the Wudang Sect to rescue Huai Rang."
Huairang is the eldest disciple of Jimin Medical Clinic, and his full name is Jiang Huairang.
Xin Zhen suspected that someone was watching him, so he left Jimin Clinic with Zhou Zhiruo in the dark and headed towards Dadu overnight. After walking for dozens of miles, they quietly changed their clothes and pretended to be two businessmen. In order to make it more realistic, they even bought several loads of tea at the market and loaded it on a horse-drawn carriage and headed north.
In the past, Xin Zhen always traveled around the world in a high-handed manner. This time, he disguised himself as an ordinary person and found out how difficult the lives of the people were.
On their journey north, they encountered checkpoints set up by government officials everywhere to extort money. After they had traveled less than half the distance, the money extorted from them was already one-third of the goods they had transported.
Xin Zhen said with emotion: "It's so difficult to run a small business, no wonder the people want to rebel. I have come all this way and heard about the hardships of the people. I hope the anti-Yuan army can drive out the Tartars as soon as possible and restore peace to China!"
The two men continued to go towards Dadu. The closer they got to Dadu, the more they were exploited. In the remaining half of the journey, they had already paid for the value of the remaining goods.
The more this happened, the more Xin Zhen wanted to kill Prince Ruyang. Perhaps if Prince Ruyang and Wang Baobao were killed, Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army might be able to drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains faster!
That afternoon, a truck loaded with tea arrived at Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, the Mongolian cavalry reached areas tens of thousands of miles away, and no other major country in history could match their territory.
Dadu is what later became Beijing.
There were countless envoys, tribute officials, entourage and merchants from various small countries and tribes in the emperor's residence. Some of them came from as far as the west, and at that time they were generally called Semites.
As soon as Xin Zhen and his companion entered the city gate, they saw people coming and going on the street, many of whom had blond hair and blue eyes.
Xin Zhen quietly took Xin Zhen to find an inn to stay in. After they washed up, they rested in the room.
At night, Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo got up, changed into night clothes, jumped out of the window, and tried to sneak to the Ruyang Palace. Unexpectedly, just after they jumped out, someone on the roof opposite whispered, "Dr. Zhou, the princess wants to see you."
Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo were both shocked. They looked towards the roof and saw the two Xuanming Elders whom they had seen before.
Zhou Zhiruo was horrified, not because she was afraid that she could not defeat the two Xuanming Elders, but because the two of them had already disguised themselves and were extremely cautious, but they were still discovered. It was really unbelievable.
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Xin Zhen, only to see that Xin Zhen nodded calmly and said, "Lead the way."
The two Xuanming Elders nodded and floated above the roof, showing off their superb lightness skills.
