Martial power, money, power.
No matter what era it was, there would always be something that would divide ordinary people into different classes. It had nothing to do with right or wrong, good or evil. As long as there were two people in the world, they would have two different positions. Regardless of money or status, the more robust, the smarter, or even the prettier of the two could be determined by their status. Even wild beasts without social civilization were divided into leaders and pawns.
Without a doubt.
If it was based on beauty, Su Honglin could kill any woman in the world. Even the Empress who had regained her youth would pale in comparison.
If it was based on music, Su Honglin could also beat most of the famous teachers in the world.
Apart from a few hermits who did not come out, there were not many who could beat her. Among the many flower boats in Green Water River, Lotus House was the most famous. Su Honglin was also the most famous among the Flower Enchantresses of Lotus House. In order to fight for this stunning beauty, many heroes and famous people had failed.
Zither, flute, song, and dance.
Su Honglin was good at everything.
She had personally set the condition of 'three wins to get married' … Not to mention three wins, most people couldn't even get one win. The owner of Lotus House had even said that you didn't need to get three wins with your own ability. If you paid a high price to invite a famous person to get three wins, Su Honglin could marry this beauty. Lotus House would also guarantee you a huge sum of money as a dowry.
However, had anyone won in these years?
No!
No! Not a single one!
A world-renowned guqin master, a world-renowned choreographer, and a world-renowned musician with world-renowned singing skills. He had challenged these people countless times. Su Honglin won most of the battles. If the challenger could tie, he would be famous in Green Water River. As for the few who could win, hehe, these people had become famous in the world and had become masters.
It could be said that.
They had built up Su Honglin's reputation, and Su Honglin had built up their fame.
In recent years.
Su Honglin was a touchstone.
If you claimed to be unparalleled in musical instruments and singing and dancing, fine, you could challenge Su Honglin first. Even if you didn't win and forced a tie, no one would laugh at you. If you really won, you could go home with the title of the best zither master or the best pipa player. If you couldn't win, hehe, you had to take down the title of unparalleled in the world.
Otherwise, many people wouldn't mind taking it down for you.
As more and more famous people lost, slowly, those who were qualified to challenge once were able to increase their reputation. To put it nicely, losing to Su Honglin was an honorable defeat.
There were such benefits.
Over the years, many famous people had intentionally or unintentionally protected this touchstone to improve their reputation.
Now.
This priceless touchstone was about to be taken away by someone else … Le County's Little Prince was about to 'win'.
For the past two years.
The little prince had hired countless experts and spent a lot of money, but in the end, he still couldn't get what he wanted. There were quite a few grandmasters in the world who had defeated Su Honglin in a single event, but these people had already established a reputation that transcended the mortal world. They couldn't join forces to challenge Su Honglin just for the little prince's reward … Would they still want their reputation?
Even if they did, the people of Qingshui River would laugh at them and chase them away.
Grandmasters who were greedy for fame and fortune could not be considered famous.
In a situation where no one could 'win three times', the young prince finally thought of a strange idea. He sent thirty large carriages of betrothal gifts, invited the clan elders within a radius of thirty li to act as matchmakers, and even invited all the merchant owners of the nearby brothel boats to pray together.
It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort.
However, if this kind of effort could be used to win Su Honglin, she would have already been married eighteen times over.
This time.
The greatest 'sincerity' the Le County's Little Prince had invited was thirty thousand heavily armored soldiers!
That's right!
This girl had mobilized soldiers to surround Qingshui River.
Why were all the clan elders and merchant owners willing to come? It was because of these thirty thousand soldiers. They had no choice but to come. They didn't dare to not come. The little prince's aide tried his best to persuade him: Don't force her to marry. Otherwise, you would be hated by thousands of people, including the number one grandmaster in the world. Because their reputation had been brought up by Su Honglin. Even more so, they couldn't use their weapons. Otherwise, they would be exterminated.
When the little prince heard this, he felt that it made sense.
He was in a dilemma.
After thinking for a while … he beheaded that aide!
"Miss Su, this prince is sincere. I definitely have no intention of making things difficult for you. This is just to show my sincerity. As long as you are willing to marry me, I am willing to give up everything for you. Look, all the clan elders from the surrounding villages and towns have agreed. All the merchant owners are also sincerely congratulating you. Miss Su, why don't you fulfill this prince's infatuation? "The Le County's Little Prince came to shout every day.
The entire Lotus House had been cut off from water and food, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
"Too overbearing."
"The dignified Emperor privately mobilized soldiers. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
"You want to marry Miss Su by threatening her like this? We don't agree."
Seeing this situation.
The surrounding people were in an uproar. However, they were only talking. In the face of thirty thousand heavily armored soldiers, no one dared to take half a step closer.
The local official was also angry. He reprimanded the leading general: "General Wang, you have been a veteran general for many years. Are you crazy? Privately mobilizing the defense forces is a capital offense. You dare to make a fuss? "
General Wang's expression was bitter: "Lord Zhu, he has the tiger tally."
Hearing this, the local officials were dumbfounded.
Privately mobilizing the defense forces was a capital offense!
Having the tiger tally but not listening to the order was a capital offense!
Both would die … It was better to die than to lose three clans.
"The Old Prince is seriously ill, but why would he hand over the tiger tally at this time? And give it to him … "The local officials weren't idiots. They knew that there was definitely a problem here.
The Little Prince said that he wanted to 'drive off bad luck'.
How was this' drive off bad luck '? He clearly wanted his entire family to be buried with him.
"Who said that just now? Who disagrees? Come out and let this prince take a look. I suspect that a criminal from the imperial court is hiding in the Lotus House, so I specially sent people to protect it. What are you lowly bumpkins foolishly making a fuss about? General Wang, disperse them for this prince. If they don't leave, kill them. They're just a bunch of lowly bumpkins anyway. I'd like to see who dares to disagree. "The Little Prince's eyes were red, and he seemed to have gone mad.
General Wang could only give a signal.
The heavily armored soldiers raised their shields and didn't raise their swords. They had a look that said, 'Fellow villagers, please leave.'
In the Lotus House.
Su Honglin smiled bitterly.
In the face of this situation, her usual admirers had disappeared. The heroes who boasted that they dared to overturn the world had also disappeared. As for the scholars who were determined to save the people, they didn't even come close. They hid far away like mice, afraid that the Little Prince would see them.
The famous scholars who were familiar with them had all fallen ill and gone on a long journey to visit their relatives. None of them were 'free.'
The heroic officials who claimed that they wanted to bring prosperity to the people were now cowering.
No one dared to speak up for themselves.
No one.
Not a single one!
"Are you looking down on bumpkins? I'm sorry, but a bumpkin like me doesn't agree. "
"Who is it? Who dares to disagree? Come out for this prince! General Wang, immediately seize this traitor for this prince. "The Little Prince was furious when he heard this. He jumped up and shouted.
However.
General Wang looked as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't dare to move.
"General Wang, you dare to disobey a military order?" The Little Prince took out the tiger tally and raised it high as he shouted angrily.
"He … he's …" General Wang pointed at the sky in panic.
The Little Prince turned around.
He discovered that an outrageously young man was' standing 'in midair. Ten beams of light danced softly behind him. He was calmly looking down at the thirty thousand soldiers below him.
This person was naturally Tang Shidao.
As soon as he arrived, he sensed that the humanized ring was on Su Honglin's finger.
"You … you …"
"I'm just a bumpkin. If I don't agree, what are you going to do? Do you think you can take me down with these thirty thousand ants? "Tang Shidao originally didn't want to bother with this kind of trivial matter, but he was a bit annoyed by the Little Prince's words. The people are the foundation of the country. What did a bumpkin do to you? You always use bumpkins to show off your nobility.
"I … I …"
"You're about to die, right? I can see that you don't have many months left to live. "Tang Shidao guessed why this guy had gone crazy.
"Exalted Immortal, please save me." The Little Prince knelt down.
He was indeed about to die … He had taken too many elixirs from necromancers. A famous doctor had diagnosed that he was beyond saving.
Perhaps he had been poisoned too deeply.
He was determined to capture Su Honglin before he died. He didn't care if his family would be destroyed.
"I'm not saving you. Do you think you're so great just because you're a Little Prince? In my eyes, you're no different from pork on a butcher's chopping board. At least pork can be eaten. As for you, at most, you'll be fed to ants. In less than half a year, you'll be nothing more than a pile of rotten meat. "
"Exalted Immortal, please have mercy."
"It's very noisy. Is there anyone who can take away this rotten meat that's about to rot? "Tang Shidao waved his hand, and the Tiger Tally flew into his hand.
"This general obeys!" General Wang decisively pretended to be blind.
The other party was an Immortal … no, a half-immortal.
He held the Tiger Tally again.
He was supposed to die, but he didn't take advantage of this opportunity.
"Must you listen to the Tiger Tally?" Tang Shidao felt very strange.
"Military orders must be obeyed!" General Wang patted his chest, and a sense of stupidity assaulted his face.
"Alright. If the Emperor beheads you, don't bury you. I'll resurrect you. "
"Thank you, Venerable Immortal." General Wang knew that with these words, he wouldn't be beheaded no matter what.
"Miss Su …" Tang Shidao floated to the balcony of the third floor of the Lotus Pavilion, and looked at the frightened and confused Su Honglin. "I'll ask you a few simple questions. Is your father or your husband called Jin Lin?"
"This … my father used to be called Jin Lin." Su Honglin immediately knew who the other party was.
"Do you know the name of the Elder?"
"The Elder is called Shi Lin."
"Have you heard of the whereabouts of the Immortal Lotus?" Tang Shidao immediately asked after confirming Su Honglin's identity.
"Yes."
"Tell me, and I'll grant you a wish within my power." Tang Shidao didn't want to waste time.
"No need. Immortal Tang has taken care of my people, and I'm very grateful. The Immortal Lotus is on the clouds, not the sky. My father said it must be on the clouds. "Su Honglin was relieved now, and she regained the bearing of a peerless courtesan, and answered with a sweet smile.
"Thank you. You seem to have something else to say? "
"Yes, Honglin wants to use a sentence to exchange for a wish." Su Honglin clasped her hands.
"Only a sentence? Interesting, you say. "
"Yes, yes, Immortal Tang. This sentence is ….. My father said that the legend of the Sun God is true, that the Sun God once existed. " Su Honglin's last sentence was in the ancient language of the Merpeople. The people beside her couldn't understand it, only Tang Shidao could understand it.
Tang Shidao was stunned when he heard this.
Sun God?
There were legends of the Sun God and Moon God in the Great Zhou Country, but it was a very strange legend.
In the eyes of normal people.
The Sun God and Moon God were gods, so it was impossible to understand how strong they were.
In his heart ….. According to the legends, these two were super powerful Magicians that could shake the heavens.
Did they fight here?
