Chapter 126: Return of the Myth
Peng Feng, listening to the discussions of these people, also understood the year of his return, which was approximately not long after Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Zhu Qizhen, successfully restored his rule.
That is, the time when Zhu Qizhen was about to kill the national hero and great savior, Yu Qian.
Fortunately, this time I came back in time, Yu Qian hasn’t died yet.
Of course, Yu Qian, Junior Protector Yu, must be saved.
And Zhu Qizhen, such a scum emperor, one in several millennia, of course, must be killed.
My blade has slain various foreign royals, the Western Xia Emperor Li Ganshun, the Liao Emperor Yelü Yanxi, the Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguda, the Great Yuan Khanate Emperor Tore, and the Mongol Empire’s Khan Temujin.
However, it has never drunk the blood of a Huaxia royal.
But, Zhu Qizhen, such a scum, made me make an exception.
And at this moment.
A gray-robed scholar was dragging a blue-robed scholar outwards.
The blue-robed scholar said, “I won’t leave, I must say, that is a foolish ruler, a national hero should not die.”
The gray-robed scholar was exasperated, “Are you really not afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming to your home to confiscate your property? You alone are not afraid of death, but what about your family? Criticizing His Majesty is a crime punishable by the extermination of three generations of your family.”
Only then did the blue-robed scholar change his expression.
Peng Feng walked over and said to the blue-robed scholar, “Brother, don’t worry, absolutely no one can exterminate three generations of your family.”
The gray-robed scholar sneered, “Who are you? You say you can protect Brother Li? What makes you think you can? In today’s world, is there anyone who can protect someone that His Majesty wants to kill?”
“My surname is Peng, and my name is Feng.” Peng Feng picked up a wine cup and poured a cup of wine for the blue-robed scholar, “I, Peng, say that anyone I can protect, even the emperor would absolutely not dare to kill.
And what I, Peng, find most pleasing in my life are men like you, who are not afraid of the powerful and dare to speak out for justice. I offer a toast to you, brother.”
The gray-robed scholar and the blue-robed scholar initially didn’t take it seriously.
Wait!
Peng Feng!
Peng Feng!!
Peng Feng!!!
The gray-robed scholar said in shock, “Your name, you wouldn’t be the first generation Prince of Jin, Peng Feng, Old Senior Peng?”
“That’s right.” Peng Feng said.
At this moment, the blue-robed scholar, the gray-robed scholar, and everyone in the entire wine shop were directly shocked, and all stood up.
Peng Feng!
That is a myth walking among the people!
He destroyed Western Xia.
He annihilated the Liao Dynasty.
He defeated the Jin Dynasty!
He greatly defeated the Mongols!
More than fifty years ago, when the strongest demon teacher among the remnants of the Later Mongol, Pang Ban, roamed the martial world, killing Ming experts everywhere, ruling the martial world, and making people tremble at the mere mention of his name, it was also the first generation Prince of Jin who took action and killed the demon teacher Pang Ban with one punch.
Peng Feng’s status in the hearts of the people is, of course, far above that of the emperor.
The blue-robed scholar said, “Are you really Old Senior Peng?”
Peng Feng nodded.
The blue-robed scholar took the wine and drank it all in one gulp, “I, Li Ren, am so fortunate to receive a toast from Old Senior Peng, hahahaha, I can brag about this for the rest of my life.”
After laughing, the blue-robed scholar solemnly said to Peng Feng, “Old Senior Peng, you have been away from the Central Plains for a long time, so you may not know that Yu Qian, Junior Protector Yu, is truly a national hero. If it weren’t for him, the Ming capital would have been breached by the Oirat Taishi Esen. You must save Junior Protector Yu.”
“Don’t worry, I know Yu Qian, and I will go save Yu Qian. By the way, this current emperor, named Zhu Qizhen, probably feels that he has been emperor for too long and his life is too long. I will also cut off his head.” Peng Feng smiled calmly.
Then, Peng Feng laughed loudly and walked out of the wine shop.
He flew into the sky and sped towards the capital.
And in the wine shop.
The remaining people were still as if they were in a dream.
The gray-robed scholar poked the blue-robed scholar with his finger, “Just now, we met the first generation Prince of Jin, the old man? That historical myth. This is simply like a dream.”
“Yes, it’s simply like a dream.” The blue-robed scholar also felt very confused.
Everyone in the wine shop felt as if they were dreaming.
A dream, so unreal.
However, it was impossible for so many people to dream at the same time.
Moreover, everyone saw that Peng Feng flew up in the end.
Those who can fly are naturally above the Land Immortal Realm.
◈◈◈
Therefore!
This is really Peng Feng.
This is not a dream!
In an instant, the entire wine shop exploded.
And immediately, the people in the wine shop went out to spread the news, talking about the encounter with the myth in the wine shop.
The entire town, those who heard it, were all shocked.
◈◈◈
Peng Feng flew in the sky above.
He even had time to look at the sky above his head.
He wanted to see the current Heavenly, Earth, and Human Rankings.
The focus was on the Heavenly Ranking.
The first on the Great Ming Heavenly Ranking, Yu Qian, Junior Protector Yu.
The second on the Great Ming Heavenly Ranking, Zhu Qizhen.
The third on the Great Ming Heavenly Ranking, Shi Heng. (A treacherous official under Zhu Qizhen).
The fourth on the Great Ming Heavenly Ranking, Zhang Yi. (A treacherous official under Zhu Qizhen).
The fifth on the Great Ming Heavenly Ranking, Peng An (The seventh generation Prince of Jin).
The sixth on the Great Ming Heavenly Ranking, Cao Jixiang (A treacherous official under Zhu Qizhen, a Grand Eunuch).
Peng Feng carefully looked and found that on the Heavenly Ranking of this era, there was not even one Heavenly Human Realm expert, the strongest were only in the Land Immortal Realm.
This should be the era of the decline of martial arts, similar to the strength before the time when he appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Martial arts have prosperous years, such as the time of Temujin, when Temujin was in the Loose Immortal Realm.
There are also years of decline, such as the years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now.
And Yu Qian is also in the Land Immortal Realm, although he is ranked first, if he is ambushed by other Land Immortals and then besieged by others, he would be no match and it would be normal for him to be captured.
Peng Feng flew all the way, heading straight for the capital.
This journey happened to coincide with an execution taking place in the capital.
◈◈◈
The Capital.
Outside the Meridian Gate.
An execution was taking place.
The official overseeing the execution was the Left Vice Censor-in-chief, Xu Youzhen.
One of the meritorious officials of Zhu Qizhen’s restoration.
This Xu Youzhen had a cultivation of the tenth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, which was already quite remarkable in this era of declining martial arts.
And those being executed were Junior Protector Yu Qian, as well as Yu Qian’s wife, Dong, his son, Yu Mian, his daughter, Yu Qiongying, and his grandson, Yu Yunzhong.
Yu Qian’s entire family, old and young, not one was spared.
And there were many common people who came to watch.
However, the common people did not come to watch the excitement. They came with feelings of reluctance and grief.
“Why must such a good person like Junior Protector Yu die?”
“Junior Protector Yu is a national hero.” The people said in low voices, not daring to speak loudly, for fear of attracting the ubiquitous Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Previously, officials who pleaded for Yu Qian were directly imprisoned by His Majesty the Emperor.
Commoners who pleaded for Yu Qian were even directly captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, their lives unknown.
Now, many people in the capital pity Yu Qian.
However, Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Zhu Qizhen, was ruling the capital with high pressure. Anyone who dared to say good things about Yu Qian would be executed, and anyone who dared to say bad things about him, Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Zhu Qizhen, would also be executed.
Execute, execute, execute, execute, execute, execute, execute!
I, Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Zhu Qizhen, although incompetent, although a waste, although a dog of the Oirat Taishi Esen, I am good at killing my own people.
