Chapter 44

"Linjiang Prefecture? That's not far. Sailing down the river, we can arrive in a day and a night."

Gongye Qian said, waving his folding fan.

"Not so, not so."

"For the 'Military Manual of Wu Mu', even swimming in the river for ten days and ten nights would be worth it."

Bao Butong said, shaking his head.

These words were not an exaggeration.

Back then, Yao Yue Yao Yue Wumu fought north and south, conquering everything, and was recognized by the major dynasties of the Central Plains as a military strategist of the level of a military saint.

The "Military Manual of Wu Mu" he wrote was absolutely priceless.

Especially for someone like Gusu Murong Fu who had the ambition to restore the country, he would inevitably need to command a large army in the future.

The "Military Manual of Wu Mu" was simply an indispensable treasure.

Wang Zhu Yuyan said: "As far as I know, the Dragon-Slaying Saber of the Great Ming martial arts world has been missing for twenty years."

These words were like a basin of cold water, chilling the people in the room to the bone.

Gusu Murong Fu said: "Then the Heaven-Reliant Sword is still there. If we can obtain these two peerless divine arts, it will also be a great help to restoring the country."

"Young Master's words are very true."

"Back then, when the 'Nine Yin Manual' came out, it caused a sensation throughout the martial arts world."

"If Young Master can obtain it, you will surely be able to recruit a group of martial arts experts with it."

Deng Deng Baichuan analyzed.

These words hit the nail on the head for Gusu Murong Fu.

"A'Zhu, go prepare a boat, we will rush to Seven Heroes Town in the Great Ming immediately."

Gusu Murong Fu was decisive and issued the order directly.

Wang Zhu Yuyan hurriedly said: "I want to go too."

Gusu Murong Fu frowned and said: "Aunt won't agree, and then she will come here to make a scene."

"Mother went to the city to collect rent the day before yesterday and will probably be back next month."

"And I really like this 'Snow', I really want to meet Mr. Su in person."

Wang Zhu Yuyan said with little stars in her eyes.

She was clearly Su Chen's little fan.

This appearance made A'Zhu, who was on the side, extremely curious.

It was the first time she had seen Wang Zhu Yuyan, who was usually untainted by worldly affairs, show such an expression.

Hearing that Madam Wang was not at home, Gusu Murong Fu had no more scruples and nodded directly: "Then you can come along."

A'Zhu's ability to act was very strong.

In less than half an hour, Gusu Murong Fu and his party were on a small boat.

Following the river current, they headed all the way to Seven Heroes Town.

A'Zhu found a free moment, leaned over to Wang Zhu Yuyan, and asked curiously:

"Cousin Miss, I heard before that the 'Snow' storybook is extremely popular."

"What kind of person is that storyteller Su Chen?"

She really wanted to know what kind of person could attract Wang Zhu Yuyan so much.

Wang Zhu Yuyan often visited Swallow Dock and was very familiar with A'Zhu.

Hearing A'Zhu's inquiry, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly and said softly:

"Mr. Su can write such wonderful stories as 'Snow', so he is naturally a person of great literary talent."

"The book once mentioned a mournful poem about a fallen country, which many literary masters highly praised."

"But Mr. Su is not just a bookworm who only knows how to write books and poems; he knows everything in the world and has vast supernatural powers."

"And, and..."

Seeing Wang Zhu Yuyan stammering, A'Zhu immediately asked: "And what?"

"And it was mentioned at the end of one miscellany."

"Mr. Su is young, handsome, and has superb martial arts, like a sword fairy descending from heaven."

Wang Zhu Yuyan said somewhat shyly.

A'Zhu's eyes lit up, and she teased: "No wonder Cousin Miss is so fascinated by Mr. Su."

"Of course not. The Mr. Su I admire has nothing to do with his appearance."

Wang Zhu Yuyan said very seriously.

A'Zhu said: "That may be so, but if Mr. Su is a dashing and handsome young master, it would be even better, right?"

Wang Zhu Yuyan stopped talking.

Middle-aged worries are as thick as wine, and young girls' feelings are always poetry.

She naturally hoped that the Su Chen she admired in her heart was truly as perfect as the legends said. ===== CHAPTER 88 =====

"Giggle..."

On the bow of the boat, it was filled with A'Zhu's silver-bell-like laughter.

Wang Zhu Yuyan flickered her bright eyes, very dissatisfied with A'Zhu teasing her with Su Chen.

"Hmph."

"If you really knew Mr. Su, you wouldn't be so superficial."

"This 'Snow' can be given to you to read."

Wang Zhu Yuyan thought about it and decided to give the masterpiece in her heart to A'Zhu.

She believed that after A'Zhu read "Snow," she would definitely admire Su Chen just like her.

A'Zhu looked at the "Snow" storybook handed over by Wang Zhu Yuyan and shook her head: "Doesn't Cousin Miss like this book very much? I don't want to take what others love."

"You don't understand this."

"People who love books, when they encounter a book they truly like, buy three sets."

"One set for collection, one set for reading, and one set to give to others."

"This set is for giving to others, so take it with peace of mind."

Wang Zhu Yuyan said very expertly.

It was the first time A'Zhu had heard such a theory, and she laughed: "Since that's the case, I'll accept it."

It just so happened that there was nothing to do on the boat for this day and night.

She also wanted to understand well what kind of story "Snow" was and what kind of person Su Chen was.

Although she didn't think in her heart that Su Chen was as excellent as Wang Zhu Yuyan said.

The reason was simple.

Her Young Master was Gusu Murong Fu.

This most famous prodigy of the Great Song martial arts world.

Young, he took over the Gusu Murong family, had deep cultivation, superb sword skills, a handsome appearance, and extraordinary conversation.

Even if Su Chen was outstanding among his peers.

How could he compare to Gusu Murong Fu?

"I hope Cousin Miss won't be too disappointed when the time comes."

A'Zhu looked at the joyful Wang Zhu Yuyan and muttered in her heart.

Time passed in a hurry.

It had been five days since Su Chen last told stories.

In Seven Heroes Town, strange faces could be seen everywhere, wearing clothes of different styles, gathering in one direction.

A small town, bustling with noise, just like the Great Capital.

And more and more people were pouring into the city from outside.

In front of the West City Gate.

A small green sedan chair stopped.

A girl in black walked out, her eyebrows curved, very charming and lovely. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
