Chapter 66: Twenty Years in a Hurry

"Okay, I will tell the poison doctor what you said."

Yuwen Piaoxu nodded and said: "But the Poison Doctor's whereabouts are unpredictable all year round. I'm not sure when he will receive the news. As for whether to accept you as his disciple, he has to decide for himself."

"Thank you, Auntie Huang."

The fourth prince said gratefully: "Then my nephew will not disturb the royal aunt and aunt, and take my leave."

He saluted the three of them and left the courtyard with his guards.

All the way away from Qiufeng City, suddenly a young man came rushing up from behind.

"See Your Highness."

The young man reined in his horse and stopped beside the fourth prince.

"Well, what's going on? Has the identity of the man named Zhao Jinyan been found out? Was he really an official of the Jiaofang Department?"

The fourth prince asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Zhao Jinyan did serve in the Jiaofang Division, and his great-uncle Zhao Mu was also a subordinate in the Jiaofang Division."

"Really? Haha, it can be regarded as a family connection. Are there any others?"

"Also, we found out that this Zhao Jinyan seems to be the apprentice of the best poison doctor in the world."

"Poison doctor's apprentice?" The fourth prince looked over.

"Yes, we bribed a maid in another courtyard and learned about it from the maid's mouth."

"According to the maid, Zhou Yue and Yuwen Piaoxu once mentioned in the other courtyard more than once that Zhao Jinyan is a disciple of the Poison Doctor."

"Is that so?"

The fourth prince thought thoughtfully: "Let me tell you, how could an ordinary official of the Jiaofang Department be attracted by Zhou Yue and Yuwen Piaoxu at the same time? Those two are both arrogant and arrogant women."

"Tsk, tsk, in recent years, people inside and outside the court thought that the poison doctor took Yuwen Piaoxu away because he liked him, but they didn't expect that it was for his apprentice."

"Yuwen Piaoxu is also lucky. There is one of the most powerful people in the world standing behind her. If the poisonous doctor is not there, her end may be very miserable."

"Your Highness is right."

The young man nodded in agreement: "Throughout the ages, the concubines of kings who destroyed their country and dynasty would not end well. They were either buried or died alone. There are really not many who can live as peacefully as Yuwen Piaoxu."

"Okay, since Zhao Jinyan is the poison doctor's apprentice, don't provoke him easily. Let's go back to the capital and wait for news. I hope Yuwen Piaoxu can give me a satisfactory answer."

The fourth prince patted his horse to speed up.

The young man immediately followed: "Your Highness, do you really want to take the poison doctor as your teacher?"

"Of course, but that person must agree to take me in. Hey, I have only discovered in recent years that when a person reaches the ultimate level of martial arts, he can really dominate the world."

"Just like this poisonous doctor, he clearly threatened my father back then, but as an emperor, my father has not dared to retaliate at all these years. He even agreed to let me come and befriend him this time."

The fourth prince sighed.

"Yes, Your Highness, for a master like Poison Doctor, even thousands of troops cannot do anything to him. After all, he cannot stand still and let the army besiege him."

"But fortunately, there is only one poisonous doctor in the world today, and the others are not a big threat to the imperial court."

"Yes, he is a unique person in the world. I wonder if he will agree to accept me as his disciple. Your Highness will also become the best in the world in the future, both in martial arts and in power."

…

In another courtyard.

Zhao Mu and the other three were also discussing Sima Tongsheng's affairs.

"This little guy is quite interesting. Even though he is only twelve years old, he is probably the best among all the princes of Emperor Su De."

"How about it, Jin Yan, do you want to accept him as your disciple?"

"Haha, I remember that when we were in the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom, there was a young monk named Mu Xinzhi who wanted to become your disciple. Now another one has come. Do you think these two will meet in the future?"

Zhou Yue looked at Zhao Mu with a smile and asked.

"What happens to them in the future, I have no interest in knowing."

Zhao Mu shook his head: "But this Sima Tongsheng may be useful to me in the future, so although I won't accept him as my disciple, I can give him some pointers."

He looked at Yuwen Piaoxu: "You will write to Sima Tongsheng in a while and tell him that the poisonous doctor will not accept a second apprentice in this life."

"But Poison Doctor appreciates his talent in martial arts, so he is willing to give him his training experience."

"I will write a copy of my cultivation experience later. When the time comes, you can send it to him along with the letter. It will also be regarded as a token of goodwill from the poisonous doctor to the court."

"Okay, I understand." Yuwen Piaoxu nodded: "By the way, what do you mean when you say that you can use Sima Tongsheng in the future?"

"Haha, it's just an idea, I'm not sure yet."

Zhao Mu smiled.

Today's Sima Tongsheng is still too young, and his own strength and power are still far behind.

I'm afraid it will take decades before it can be used.

There's no rush in this matter!

Suddenly, a maid came in.

Zhou Yue turned her head and said, "How about it? Did you tell the Fourth Prince's people what you were asked to say?"

"Yes, I have told them that Mr. Zhao is a disciple of the poisonous doctor."

"Then did they believe it?"

"It looks like I believe it."

"Okay, you did a great job and you'll get what you want."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and the maid withdrew.

She looked at Yuwen Piaoxu: "Sister, is it really necessary to deliberately mislead the fourth prince?"

"Believe me, it's necessary."

Yuwen Piaoxu smiled and said: "I have lived in the palace for many years, and I know the temperament of the royal family very well. They will always secretly investigate suspicious things."

"Jin Yanming's identity is too suspicious to appear next to the two of us, so we must make up an identity for him to make his existence reasonable."

"Only by dispelling the suspicion of the royal family can we live in peace. You don't want to have spies following us when we travel around the world, right?"

"Trouble!"

Zhou Yue snorted: "If you ask me, if they really dare to send people to disturb our peace, then we will beat them one by one. I don't believe that they will dare to come even if I hurt them."

"You are still as violent as before. There is a simpler way to solve it. Why do you have to do it?"

Yu Wen Piaoxu scolded and tapped Zhou Yue's forehead.

A few days later, after Zhao Mu and the other two packed up, they drove a carriage away from Qiufeng City.

They headed all the way to the southern border, enjoying the scenery along the way, exploring the mysteries, and began to travel around the world.

A comfortable life always passes quickly, especially when you don't have to worry about trivial matters.

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in a flash.

In the past twenty years, the three of them have traveled thousands of miles together.

The Great Jin Dynasty, the Five Poison Sects in Southern Xinjiang, and the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom, their footprints are everywhere.

They even crossed the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom and went to more distant places.

However, there were only patches of primeval forests, full of various beasts, and no human footprints.

I don’t know how vast those patches of forests are, and whether there are other human beings in the more distant places beyond the forests?

During this period, the three of them also went to the Great Buddha City several times to check the situation of the demon corpse of the new Chu Emperor.

Although it is still impossible to enter the interior of the Great Buddha City, Zhao Mu can vaguely feel that the degree of fusion between the new Chu Emperor and the Great Buddha's relics has become deeper and deeper.

Its corpse seems to be gradually changing to a state that is like a demon but not a demon, and is faintly filled with evil and sacred aura.

In the past twenty years, the three of them have been practicing while traveling.

The two women have made good progress in their cultivation. Now Yuwen Piaoxu has entered the Grandmaster realm, and Zhou Yue has even entered the Martial Saint realm.

In the imperial court's ranking of the heavenly rankings, the world's top expert was still the poison doctor, but the second place was replaced by Zhou Yue.

As for the eunuch Li Weiyong, he fell to third place.

Obviously, in the eyes of the imperial court, Li Weiyong, who relied on Feiling Pills to break through to the Martial Saint, was not as good as Zhou Yue who broke through on his own.

In addition, after twenty years of practice, Zhao Mu finally made another breakthrough in his cultivation, plus the many natural treasures he found during his travels.

Now, he has successfully opened the fifth heart gate, and his Qi cultivation has completely entered the Martial Saint, and his physical body has become more powerful.
