Hearing this, Ye Ru nodded: "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qian."
Looking around, Ye Ru found no danger and was relieved.
After all, we're unfamiliar with this place, so we need to be extra careful.
"The Qian family is quite grand and imposing, twice as powerful as the wealthy families in our country. No wonder they dared to invade our Yanhuang Kingdom; they really have something to rely on."
Zhang Dong looked at the artificial hills and flowing water around him and sighed.
If the Yanhuang Kingdom were as strong as this place, would it be afraid of people from other countries coming?
"Yes, with our current national strength, we are not yet able to compete with the State of Jin."
Zhang Zhi agreed.
"here."
Before long, Qian Wensong led Ye Ru and the other three to the four side rooms. After explaining the things they needed to pay attention to, he left.
"Chief Ye, are you really going to help them? I feel that with our strength, we should be able to leave the State of Jin."
Zhang Zhi and the others frowned, sat down, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"With our strength, we can indeed leave, but what about the soldiers who follow us? They can handle ordinary soldiers, but if they were to face great scholars or Hanlin scholars, they would probably not escape death."
Ye Ru remained silent for a moment before continuing.
“What Ye Anshou said is correct. As members of the Hanlin Academy, we naturally have ways to escape. Ye Anshou is also very talented, but those who follow us are all ordinary people. The highest-ranking among them are only Xiucai and Juren. Once they encounter a great Confucian scholar or a member of the Hanlin Academy of Jin, they can only obediently surrender.”
Zhang Dong nodded, looked around, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, said:
"We don't know what to do next?"
"Let's settle down here for now. Firstly, we can use the Qian family to observe the situation in the capital of Jin. Secondly, it can protect us. Now that the people of Jin know we're here, they'll definitely send someone to kill us. Here, they'll be more cautious."
Hearing their words, Ye Ru replied.
"But we still need to be careful of that man in black from last time. I can sense that he hasn't gone far and will definitely come back."
At this moment, the Star Ape King pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said.
On the way, he kept thinking about who the other person was, but he rejected all the people he could think of. This made him a little strange. If the other person took advantage of his inattention and then made a move against Ye Ru, the consequences would be quite bad.
"Yes, that man in black is also very dangerous. To be able to defeat the Star Ape King, he is no ordinary person; at the very least, he is a half-step Demon Saint."
Zhang Dong looked serious and said.
"Yes, gentlemen, and Star Ape King, you must also protect yourselves. We've already lost enough people here; we can't afford any more mishaps."
Ye Ru nodded and said.
"Understood, then I shall take my leave."
"Me too."
Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhi bowed to Ye Ru, nodded, and then opened the door and left.
As the two left, Star Ape King also raised his golden staff and departed.
Standing up and closing the door, Ye Ru opened "Annotations on the Taiping Request" and began to read it again.
He hadn't expected that, even after only a preliminary use, the book would bring him so many useful things. Moreover, the Star Sword General's talent was truly outstanding; he was able to write such a powerful book.
"If General Xingjian hadn't died, the overall strength of our Yanhuang Kingdom would probably have reached a new level, and we might even have entered the top five."
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ru murmured.
After all, someone who could write this book couldn't possibly be an unknown person.
Ye Ru then opened the book and began to read it, and time passed little by little.
The next day, Qian Wensong arrived at Ye Ru's door.
"Brother Ye, please. The place where the documents and inkstone are kept is a bit far from here."
"Well, that's good work."
The group rode their flying magical artifacts towards the valley where the inkstone spring was located.
Although the valley wasn't far from Kyoto, it still took an hour to get there.
"There are restrictions left behind by a demigod in this valley, so we can only go there on foot."
On the outskirts of the valley, Qian Wensong's flying artifact suddenly stopped. He pointed to the distant mountains and said apologetically.
"It's alright, it's a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery here. Let's go."
After saying that, Ye Ru took the lead and walked away, with the others following closely behind.
The scenery of this mountain range is indeed beautiful. Ye Ru looked around and felt refreshed by the cool morning air.
"I never expected to find such beautiful scenery here."
Ye Ru said unconsciously.
"You may not know this, but this mountain range is called Wanmu Mountain. It contains thirty-six species of trees, each unique to our Jin Kingdom and specifically to this mountain range. You won't find them anywhere else."
Qian Wensong introduced Ye Ru, his words tinged with pride.
"Is that so? Then I'd love to see for myself."
Ye Ru nodded, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, and said.
As they spoke, Ye Ru and the others arrived deep within the Wanmu Mountain. Looking around, they saw a lush and verdant landscape with towering trees, bringing a vibrant sense of life to the place.
"We'll get there once we get past this point. We also have people stationed there. Let's go."
Qian Wensong quickened his pace, but after walking for a few minutes, a person suddenly emerged from the woods in the distance, limping. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be seriously injured. Upon seeing Qian Wensong, the two of them suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Ye Ru and the others rushed over. After seeing the injuries, Ye Ru frowned and slowly channeled his inner energy into the injured, which gradually brought the two back to consciousness.
"Old Li? Old Zhao, weren't you the ones guarding the documents and ink well? How did it become like this?"
Upon seeing the two people again, Qian Wensong's expression immediately changed. He frowned, quickly helped them up, and then asked with concern.
"Young Master, you don't know this, but a lot of people from the Sima family came to Mo Quan and beat us up without saying a word. They also told us to tell the Qian family not to get involved with Mo Quan."
The old man, named Li Lao, sat on the ground, enduring the pain emanating from his body, and said in a bitter voice.
"Outrageous! Do these guys think they can keep it all for themselves? They're completely ignoring the judgment. I'm going to the court to file a complaint against them. This is utterly outrageous!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Wensong's face turned extremely gloomy, and then he said.
