Chapter 1141

Gu Hanyuan was very much looking forward to what kind of path Xie Xiaofeng would take next.

Would he still be tired of fighting and killing, transform into the useless Aji, and live a life of seclusion?

Or would he be unable to recover from this, never again able to lift the sword in his hand?

A pleasant smile curled on the corner of Gu Hanyuan's mouth.

The engagement turmoil between Southern Murong Qiudi and Mao Yiling was not small.

First, Southern Murong Qiudi suddenly broke off the engagement.

Southern Murong Zheng was so angry he vomited blood.

And fell into a coma.

However, what was even more shocking was.

Xie Xiaofeng, the Third Young Master of the Sword Villa, had been defeated.

No one knew who that person was.

Only the "Xie Family Divine Sword," broken in two, and bloodstains on the ground were left at the scene.

Xie Xiaofeng's life and death were unknown.

From then on, he disappeared from the Jianghu.

Gu Hanyuan did not care about the aftermath.

He believed Southern Murong Qiudi would handle the cleanup well.

At this moment, he had already "flown with his sword" toward the Qing Guo direction.

The historical progression of this world was vastly different from real history.

PS: The following is the setting of this book; please do not argue with the original work or history, thank you.

The previous Ming Guo emperor was the Chongzhen Emperor.

The Central Plains originally had only three Han Chinese nations.

They were the Ming Guo, the Song Guo, and the Sui Guo.

Among the foreign tribes, the Liao Guo was the first to establish a nation.

After more than twenty years of war with the Song Guo, they negotiated peace.

After establishing the Chanyuan Alliance.

Both sides had peace for nearly a hundred years.

Until the Jin Guo rose to power.

First, they forced the Liao Guo to the brink of destruction.

Then they forced the Song Guo to the south.

At this time, the powerful Mongol Yuan emerged as a sudden force.

Cutting off the Jin Guo's retreat in the grasslands.

At the same time.

The Qing Guo, which shared the same origin but a different lineage as the Jin Guo, rose in the White Mountains and Black Waters.

The Mongol Yuan, wary of the danger of being caught in a pincer attack, declared a truce with the Jin Guo.

The Qing Guo was established the latest.

It did not border either the Song or the Liao.

At that time, the Sui Guo emperor, Yang Jian, had not yet passed away.

The national power was strong.

Therefore, the Qing Guo chose the Ming Guo, which was suffering from severe internal troubles, as its target for attack.

At that time, the Ming Guo emperor was the Chongzhen Emperor.

The Chuang King rebelled.

Originally, with the strength of the Ming Guo at that time, they did not fear this little turmoil.

The Qing Guo's offensive was also blocked outside the pass by Yuan Chonghuan.

However, the Ming Guo's court politics were controlled by the Donglin Party.

The Chongzhen Emperor played a hand of cards that could still be saved into a mess.

He trusted the Qing Guo's counter-espionage strategy.

Coupled with the fueling of the flames by the remnants of Wei Zhongxian's party.

Yuan Chonghuan was unjustly executed.

It just so happened at this time.

Wu Sangui of Shanhai Pass surrendered to the Qing Guo and let them enter the pass.

For a time, the smoke of war spread across the land of the Ming Guo.

The Donglin Party was good at political struggle.

But when it came to fighting wars, they were clueless.

They were beaten back step by step by the Chuang King.

Not long after, the capital fell.

Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan.

The Chuang King was subsequently destroyed by the Qing Guo.

The remnants of the Ming Guo retreated to the south.

Because they did not recognize Chongzhen's relationship.

None of the surviving sons were able to be supported as emperor.

At that time, there were many princes in the Ming Guo royal family who wanted to be emperor.

Under the mutual restraint of all parties, the young Zhu Houzhao was actually made emperor.

At this time, the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis, Zhu Wushi, emerged.

Without the restraint of the Donglin Party.

The power of the Ming Guo was concentrated.

Tenaciously resisting the subsequent attacks of the Qing Guo.

And the Qing Guo Eight Banners soldiers who entered the pass corrupted very quickly.

Within a few years, they no longer had any combat power.

Since then, the Ming Guo and the Qing Guo entered a stage of confrontation.

Chongzhen's two sons, the Tang Prince and the Gui Prince, were unwilling to give up.

They declared themselves emperors at the border of the Ming and Qing.

Both men were ambitious but lacked talent.

Not only did they not cooperate.

Instead, they attacked each other.

In the end, they were destroyed by the Qing Guo.

The remaining remnants were unwilling to submit to the Ming Guo.

They resisted the Qing Guo's rule on the spot.

As a result, under the mutual restraint of all parties.

A buffer zone where no one cared was actually formed.

The Qing Guo only had nominal ruling power.

The current Provincial Military Commander was also a Han Chinese military officer, Li Kexiu.

Barely maintaining a fragile balance.

It was also the only region within the Qing Guo territory that did not have the ability to implement the "keep your hair, lose your head" policy.

Here.

The common people naturally shaved their heads into the "money-rat tail" style.

Han Chinese with status and ability still maintained their original hairstyles.

And Gu Hanyuan's destination was exactly here.

And he soon found his target.

However, what made him slightly surprised was.

There were some people here who shouldn't have been present.
