This refutes the conjecture.
impossible.
Ye Zhong's sword techniques always revolve around the word "heavy".
There's absolutely no way they could unleash such a beautiful sword strike.
Moreover, the exquisite skill involved in this sword strike.
Even Ye Liuyun, who was known as the Sword God of Southern Qing in the Ye family back then, couldn't unleash it.
Not to mention Ye Zhong.
His talent is nowhere near that of Ye Liuyun.
However, it is even less likely to be Wu Zhu.
Emperor Qing was very familiar with Wu Zhu's movement techniques.
Wu Zhu does not use a sword, and when he does fight, he never uses any specific moves.
It has always been about extreme speed and extreme precision.
It is simple, yet it directly unleashes deadly intent, aiming to take lives.
The style and the exquisite beauty of this sword strike before my eyes.
They are two completely different extremes.
Emperor Qing frowned slightly and murmured.
"Who could that be?"
At that moment, Eunuch Hou also saw the exquisite sword strike outside the palace.
It is truly unparalleled throughout history; nothing like it has ever been seen before.
He glanced respectfully at His Majesty.
But there was no reply.
Eunuch Hou knew very well that His Majesty was thinking for himself.
There is no need for others to interrupt.
Emperor Qing pondered.
Could it be that there are some experts he doesn't know about?
They also came to Kyoto.
Or to put it simply, it was right there at Su Yu's residence.
Before long, Emperor Qing's doubts were answered.
Because Ye Zhong and his group had returned to the palace in a disheveled state to report back.
Emperor Qing's eyes were cold as he frowned.
"What happened to you, you look like a mess?"
Eunuch Hou glanced at the group of people, including Lord Ye.
His head was swollen, and his nose and face were bruised and swollen.
He even spoke with a lisp when bowing to His Majesty.
For a moment, I felt it was truly a terrible sight.
But it's so funny that it makes you want to laugh.
However, His Majesty's attitude remains unclear.
Even Eunuch Hou dared not imagine it.
He had no choice but to force his laughter back down, almost to the point of internal injury.
Ye Zhong looked up at Emperor Qing and said awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, Su Yu, he..."
"He is that expert."
"Su Yu is skilled in martial arts, and his cultivation level is extremely high."
"I...I am no match for him."
Ye Zhong stammered and reluctantly finished speaking.
The main point is that he is a ninth-rank commander of the Kyoto Garrison Division.
He lost to an eighteen-year-old scholar.
He was beaten up like this.
It's so shameful to share this; I'm too embarrassed to even mention it.
Emperor Qunqing's expression shifted slightly.
Su Yu...
Is that scholar actually skilled in martial arts?
Even Ye Zhong, a ninth-rank official, was no match for him.
And he was beaten up like this.
Could it be that he has already reached the peak of the ninth rank?
Emperor Qing picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip.
"How does Su Yu compare to Hong Sixiang?"
Ye Zhong covered half of his face and thought for a moment.
"Hard to say."
"I have never fought with Eunuch Hong."
"But in front of Su Yu, my Great Coffin Splitting Technique is completely useless."
"With a casual flick of his sword, the coffin-splitting attack was neutralized."
"And so, my subjects and I became what we are today."
As he spoke, Ye Zhong lowered his head.
I feel extremely embarrassed.
Emperor Qing rubbed his temples and glanced at him.
"You still know how to embarrass yourself."
"Quickly describe the situation at the scene in detail."
"Get back there now after you've said that."
Ye Chong bowed respectfully in reply.
"Yes."
"..."
Then, Ye Zhong explained the matter in great detail.
Emperor Qing waved his hand, signaling Ye Zhong to leave.
Then they also kicked Eunuch Hou out.
A sudden gust of cold wind blew by.
The doors and windows of the Imperial Study were all closed at the same time.
Emperor Qing was left alone in the Imperial Study.
It was quiet inside; you could hear his own breathing.
Emperor Qing's expression remained calm, but his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Think about it carefully.
This scholar was unremarkable at first.
He was merely a schoolteacher in Fan Jian's household.
Even after they opened a bookstore and a clinic.
He earned the title of a miracle doctor.
It's not a big deal.
However, Emperor Qing had read Su Yu's essays in both the provincial and palace examinations.
It's clear that Su Yu has extraordinary insight, vision, and character.
And the conversation between the Imperial Study and Su Yu last time.
This further made Emperor Qing realize that Su Yu was exceptionally intelligent.
Their cunning and wisdom are quite remarkable.
Originally, if that were all...
Emperor Qing admired Su Yu more than anything, believing him to be a promising talent.
But today's events have forced Emperor Qing to reconsider.
Should we make him disappear?
Emperor Qing rarely feared anyone.
They wouldn't even consider a ninth-rank official a threat.
This can be seen from the current personnel selection process in the imperial court.
Hong Sixiang, Ye Zhong, Yan Xiaoyi.
These people were all of the ninth rank and were all highly valued by Emperor Qing.
