The purpose of Wang Jinghao, Cheng Shiyou, and Bai Zhonghuan's trip was first to protect the princess, and secondly to assist Xiaoyaomen in dealing with Japanese pirates in accordance with King Xiao's secret order.
Of course, the latter matter is of great importance, and Wang Jinghao alone is not enough to have much effect. After all, he cannot mobilize the officers and soldiers. However, since Wang Jinghao conveyed this meaning to Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong, the emperor and Prince Xiao would naturally not sit idly by and do nothing. They would definitely try their best to help when necessary.
After all, the responsibility for fighting against Japanese pirates still lies with the officers and soldiers. Now that people from the martial arts community are helping, the court should actually give more support. As long as the army and the people work together, they have a good chance of catching all the Japanese pirates.
However, there is still a big problem, that is, they still know nothing about their enemy, the leader of the Japanese pirates, Huo Xie Zong.
It can already be seen from his three disciples that this man is indeed very powerful and has a wide range of interests. He is very proficient in martial arts, side arts, and even the art of war.
Although he hasn't shown up yet, he has already used tricks many times to cause chaos in the Central Plains martial arts world.
First, they hired murderers to defeat Meijiazhai, and then together with the Holy Temple, they used a chain plan to severely damage the Star Sword Sect so that it could not respond to Xiaoyao Sect's call. Not only was this man very mysterious, but he was always aware of the enemy's opportunities. He thought of everything in front of Ren Xiaoyao, which really gave Ren Xiaoyao a headache.
As for magic, fortunately, there is a mysterious alchemy master, Sun Xiaowu.
None of the Fifth Line and others knew Sun Xiaowu's origins. They only knew that he was one of Princess Qingying's many masters, but they did not know which sect he came from, where he was from, and how he got involved with the palace nobles. Related? In fact, Princess Qingying herself didn't know this point, because many of the masters she worshiped were not found by her herself, but by her brother, King Xiao.
The fact that Sun Xiaowu can be related to Xiao Wang means that there must be some story in it, and Sun Xiaowu cannot be just an incompetent person who eats and drinks.
Although Ren Xiaoyao also knew a little bit about strange arts, among which his hypnosis could be regarded as a kind of strange arts, but if we were to talk about this alone, he would naturally not be able to compare with Sun Xiaowu. The two hit it off and often discussed strange alchemy together. Tang Mugong, Wu Xing and others were also listening. It seemed that these strange arts were very mysterious and interesting to them.
Everyone was listening to Sun Xiaowu's eloquent talk in the Xiaoyaomen courtyard, and they were all very fascinated when suddenly Tian Shilie came in.
Ren Xiaoyao observed carefully and saw that something was wrong with his face, so he walked over and said softly: "What's the matter?"
"Something happened." Tian Shilie replied.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Ren Xiaoyao said urgently.
"Master Kong's younger brother, Master Sun Second Master Kong Youde, is crazy." Tian Shilie replied.
"Isn't Sun Youde fine two days ago? Moreover, his body is as strong as an ox. How can he be crazy? There must be something weird in this?" Ren Xiaoyao concluded.
"What happened?" Sun Xiaowu also asked.
Tian Shilie heard this and had no choice but to inform everyone about the matter. Sun Xiaowu heard this and said curiously: "Since Mr. Kong has been fine for the past few days, someone is probably doing something secretly."
"Previously, the Japanese pirates wanted to attack Mr. Kong, but we stopped them and failed. They will definitely not give up and will definitely look for opportunities to attack again. We must help Mr. Kong as soon as possible!" The fifth line also said.
"That's right. In my opinion, Second Master Kong has probably fallen under the spell of the Jiuju Sect. It's better for me to go there!" Sun Xiaowu volunteered.
"Although Brother Sun is proficient in different arts, if you meet a martial arts master, I'm afraid you will still suffer a loss. I will go with you!" Ren Xiaoyao said.
"No! Master Ren, you have a lot of things to do, and you have to contact all the factions in the world. Why don't you let me go with the fifth young hero!" Sun Xiaowu said.
"This is the best. Anyway, the Kong family is not far from Xiaoyaomen. If anything happens, just send a signal and you can come to support." The fifth line also agreed.
"Okay then! I'll let Tianming lead the way for you. If nothing happens, go and come back as soon as possible. The Kong family and the Xiaoyao Sect have good relations, and our Xiaoyao Sect should do our best to help them with their affairs." Ren Xiaoyao said, and called out At dawn, let him take Wu Xing and Sun Xiaowu to Kong's house immediately. What happened in Meihua Village must not happen again. If they are defeated by Japanese bandits one by one, no one in Xiaoyao Sect can trust them anymore.
The fifth line and Sun Xiaowu both went, and Princess Qingying and Hua'er should also go with them. Wang Jinghao originally wanted to go, but the princess stopped him and insisted that he contact the officers and soldiers from various places to listen to his orders. Wang Jinghao didn't have military talismans, so it was naturally impossible for him to mobilize the army. But there is no other way, so we have to temporarily let the winning and losing heroes take the secret order of King Xiao and inform the officials and troops in various places first. Although the army has not been mobilized, it is always possible to inform them first, and there is no need for military symbols.
After all, when the army really needs to be mobilized, King Xiao will naturally ask for military symbols.
However, Wang Jinghao's first priority was to protect the princess. Of course, he himself was worried, so he followed the fifth line and others to the Kong family in West Lake, but let the two heroes go to meet the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture first.
Xiaoyaomen is on the bank of the Qiantang River, and the Kong family is on the bank of the West Lake. Naturally, the two families are not far apart.
Wu Xing and Kong Youlong can be regarded as life-and-death friends. After all, they have experienced a life-and-death battle together. Without Wu Xing and Sun Xiaowu, Kong Youlong would hardly be able to return to the Kong family safely. Now that I saw the two of them coming to help the Kong family, I was naturally very grateful.
"It's really troublesome. I have to bother you two again." Kong Youlong felt a little embarrassed.
"Master Kong is joking. We are all from the world, so there is no need to be so polite." The fifth line said with a smile.
Naturally, Sun Youlong and Tianming were very familiar with each other. He had watched Tianming grow up.
Kong Youlong introduced everyone into the house, but Sun Xiaowu did not see Kong Youde, so he asked, "Where is Mr. Kong?"
"I just knocked him out, and he just fell asleep now." Kong Youlong replied.
"Has the Second Master ever had this kind of madness before?" Sun Xiaowu asked again.
"My second brother has always been in good health before. He has never been sick and has no such crazy symptoms at all." Sun Youlong replied.
"Take me to have a look." Sun Xiaowu said.
"Master Sun, please come this way." Kong Youlong said, going to lead the way first.
When everyone came to Kong Youde's room, they saw that although he had fallen asleep, his face was red, as if he had too much blood, and he was sweating non-stop. His expression was slightly distorted, as if he was afraid or in mad pain.
However, he did not wake up immediately, but it was like he had been having a nightmare but never woke up.
