It seems that an important figure from the Hengshan School is about to retire from the martial arts world.

I'm not entirely sure what the specifics are.

However, Dad and the others are probably going over there. What do you think, should we go and check on them?

Moreover, I've heard that the man from Hengshan has donated a considerable amount of money to the imperial court.

He bought a minor official position!

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze was taken aback and said:

"Buying an official position? That's impossible, isn't it? Although I haven't specifically looked into it."

However, over the past five years, I have come to know that the current court is in trouble because of you.

Having conquered so many countries, the national treasury is overflowing; there's no need to sell official positions, is there?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingzhu chuckled and said:

"Hehe, that's true, but don't forget, the emperor won't care about some minor officials."

Moreover, this incident is said to involve the East and West Factories.

The two of them were vying for power, which led to the creation of some official positions.

The name sounds nice, and it even looks like a military rank.

However, in terms of actual ability, these are positions they created in the past two years, similar to some management positions outside the East and West No. 2 factories.

To put it bluntly, they are a group of people who don't have much real power.

This can be considered a means for them to obtain some development funds for themselves.

The emperor was aware of this, but he did not intervene.

It sounds impressive, like a military officer, but this military officer isn't actually in the army.

Moreover, that's not the full name; it seems to be a secret service agency outside the Eastern Depot.

I don't know the specifics, but anyway, the name sounds pretty good, and apparently they've used that to scam a lot of people!

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze was speechless for a moment, then said:

"No, His Majesty is just letting the Eastern Depot do this?"

Yue Lingzhu: "Hehe, of course, this is essentially developing informants."

The Eastern Depot (Dongchang) raises its own funds, without needing any appropriations from the emperor. Do you think the emperor would be willing to do that?

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze nodded subconsciously.

"Mother, where do you think we should go?"

Ning Zhongze pondered for a moment, then said:

"According to what you said, if he is an important figure from Hengshan..."

It should be Liu Zhengfeng from the Hengshan School. There are only two truly important figures in the Hengshan School.

One is the head of Hengshan Sect, and the other is Liu Zhengfeng, who is now in charge of Hengshan.

But why did Liu Zhengfeng suddenly decide to retire from the martial arts world?

"That's strange, absolutely strange!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingzhu shook her head and said:

"Mother, what's so strange about these things? In the end, they're just a bunch of messy things."

It has nothing to do with our family.

This time, after we go back, the Huashan Sect will break away from the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

At that time, our Huashan Sect will be part of the Taoist lineage.

We have no connection with the Five Mountains Sword Sects and are backed by the Ming Dynasty, so we don't need to concern ourselves with the conflicts in the martial arts world.

All we need to do is focus on developing the Huashan Sect.

Moreover, I have another task this time, as long as this matter is handled well.

Therefore, our Huashan lineage will never have any problems in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming Dynasty falls, we will still be able to stand firm.

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Lingzhu in shock and said:

"Son, are you sure?"

Yue Lingzhu nodded and said:

"Of course, but this matter is very important, and Dad needs to know as well."

I'll explain everything to you then!

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze nodded and said:

"In that case, let's go to Hengshan! We can pick up your father and the others there and go back together!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingzhu nodded and said:

"No problem, then we'll do as you say and go to Hengshan!"

..........................................

A day later, after packing their things, they saw a convoy heading straight for Mount Hua.

Meanwhile, another convoy headed towards Hengshan.

Among them, the caravan heading to Mount Hua was the largest, and it was even guarded by 5,000 iron cavalry.

The other caravan was also guarded by three thousand iron cavalry.

The two carriages in the middle are also very luxurious and exude an air of nobility. At a glance, it is clear that these are carriages that only nobles would own.

And the carriage at the very front was none other than Yue Lingzhu's.

Next up is Ning Zhongze's carriage.

Wherever this group went, many people were frightened and kept their distance.

Even some martial arts practitioners would be so frightened by the sight that they would stay far away.

As night fell, three thousand iron cavalrymen surrounded the carriage and lit a bonfire in the middle.

Meanwhile, Yue Lingzhu and Ning Zhongze were sitting around the campfire.

Not far away, there was a chef preparing food for them.

At this moment, Ning Zhongze spoke up:

"Lingzhu, how much longer until we reach Hengshan?"

Yue Lingzhu stroked his chin and said:

"If we walk for another day tomorrow, we should be almost there."

"I'll have someone inquire about it then, and we'll find out!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze nodded and continued, "That's good. I was worried that our team was too big."

They're moving too slowly!

Yue Lingzhu: "Mother, this is already very fast. This team is led by the Iron-Blooded War Cavalry."

The Ironblood Cavalry has always been the fastest, and even with these two carriages added, they are still very fast.

You don't need to worry about that. I estimate it will arrive in the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Oh, right, there's one more thing.

Not long ago, news came that Yu Canghai wanted to hold Huashan accountable, saying that Linghu Chong had insulted them.

However, there are some problems here.

I heard it's related to my older sister! Apparently, they were the ones who harassed her.

What are your thoughts on this matter? If you don't have them here, I'll send someone over.

They need to give me an explanation for this!

Chapter 886 The army arrives at Hengshan

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze's expression instantly turned ugly.

"Spirit Candle, what's going on here?"

Yue Lingzhu shrugged and said:

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either, since the person who sent the message couldn't have explained it clearly in the letter."

However, in the final analysis, it is related to Yu Canghai's disciples.

You don't need to worry about this matter; I can handle it. In short, if anyone needs to explain this matter, it will be them.

Moreover, Yu Canghai should be able to come here this time as well.

"We can probably resolve this here!"

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze nodded and said:

"You need to be careful with the spirit candle. This time, it might involve your sister's reputation."

At this time, Ning Zhongze had been following Yue Lingzhu for five years and had met many socialites, noblewomen, and even members of the royal family.

He also knew that reputation was very important, especially now that Yue Lingzhu was a duke, the Duke of Zhenyue, who could be said to be a top-level noble with real power at this stage.

Yue Lingshan also became a county princess because of Yue Lingzhu.

In this way, her future husband is very likely to be a nobleman or a member of the royal family.

Therefore, Ning Zhongze took these matters very seriously.

Moreover, over the years, Ning Zhongze had frequently returned to the mountain and had noticed her daughter's affection for Linghu Chong.

However, thinking about what he had seen and heard in the capital, and some things Yue Lingzhu had told him, he realized that...
