Chapter 285: Turmoil
As the day of the Moon Wheel Country holding the Moon Martial Arts Conference was getting closer and closer, Shen Liang's cultivation was also extremely hard. From time to time, he would go to the forest of death and find a quiet place where no one would be able to practice the dragon's claw hand and the word vibration technique.
And Shen Liang's side naturally followed Situ Yan's girl all the time.
Facing that Situ Yan, Shen Liang did not deliberately avoid her when practicing.
She never asked much about Shen Liang's exercises, but sometimes laughed at Shen Liang for being like a fool who harmed himself when he practiced.
In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Liang was indeed a little weird when he practiced the dragon claw hand, and he often made his hands full of injuries, so that most people would not understand it after seeing it.
But Shen Liang didn't go to explain more to Situ Yan, and he just smiled and didn't say anything about it.
After a long time, Situ Yan herself felt bored, but she was used to Shen Liang's strange way of practicing.
In case one day, Shen Liang no longer "scratches" the tree, Situ Yan has to ask curiously, "Why don't you scratch the tree?"
These days, Shen Liang has lived a very fulfilling life. During the day, he often practiced and hunted beasts outside, and at night, he went back to the chaotic capital to meditate and refine. So much so that Situ Yan felt a little embarrassed, so she often practiced with Shen Liang.
And during this time, there was a lot of turmoil in the country.
In recent years, there has been constant friction between the Moon Wheel Kingdom and the Great Min Kingdom, and sometimes small-scale battles will break out. Relations between the two countries are also deteriorating day by day, and there are signs of a major war imminent. So much so that many troops have been secretly stationed at the junction of the two countries, and they have been recruiting troops everywhere for a while.
Since the death of His Majesty three years ago, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne. In the past few years, the moon wheel country has been in a situation of internal and external troubles. There are big people in foreign countries, and there are disasters in China.
Not to mention that in recent years, bandits from all over the country have wantonly rioted, and even the resurgence of the Bright Moon Altar is enough to give the court a headache.
Speaking of which, the newly succeeded His Majesty is just a hairy boy, only eleven or twelve years old, and he can't deal with various national affairs on his own.
But after all, the new emperor is still young, and he has no prestige in the court at all, and he is not enough to lead the ministers.
The ministers in the court clearly obeyed the emperor's decree, but secretly colluded with each other and formed gangs, which made the entire court miserable, and the people below were also miserable.
In the face of this, not to mention the new emperor, even the king of Zhennan and the king of Beiping are helpless.
Those important members of the imperial court all hold great power, if they are really moved, I am afraid that the entire Yuelun Kingdom will collapse half of the sky. At that time, I'm afraid it will really be bad for the country.
Today's Moon Wheel Kingdom looks like a beautiful scenery, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and the entire imperial court is no longer as calm as before. With the help of well-intentioned people, the entire imperial court almost existed in name only!
Of course, these things are unknown to outsiders! Even most people in the imperial court have not yet realized that it is precisely the open and secret struggle between themselves that hastened the demise of the entire Moon Wheel Kingdom!
And at this moment, the young man who is struggling for the rise of the family is still practicing martial arts diligently in the distant forest of death, vowing to win the first place in the ten-year Moon Martial Arts Conference!
At the same time, far away in the southeast corner of the Yuanwu Continent, a large number of strong people suddenly appeared quietly.
Their identities are mysterious and of unknown origin, and they often appear in gold and silver masks when they appear in front of people. However, their service is extremely uniform, all of them are black-trimmed with gold trim, and the sleeves are embroidered with an extremely inconspicuous small letter.
Shaw!
......
Under the night sky, the stars are full of stars, and they are exceptionally bright. The cold moonlight gently shone down, wrapping the whole land in a layer of silver.
In the middle of the forest, in that somewhat empty place, a bonfire was burning, and the fiery red light illuminated the surroundings.
The girl sat by the fire, her hand holding her cheek, and her eyes were distracted by the warm flame.
On the bare, stubby, dead tree next to him, the boy sat on the fork with his legs dangling.
A full moon shines on the head, and a pot of sake relieves people's worries!
Unfortunately, the boy did not have any wine in his hand, just a water bag full of water.
At this moment, the young man didn't know who he was thinking of, and his dark eyes looking at the night sky showed deep nostalgia.
Situ Yan turned around and looked up at him, and asked puzzledly, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing!"
Shen Liang shook his head and smiled, immediately jumped down from the tree, and sat down beside Situ Yan casually.
Situ Yan turned her head to look at Shen Liang's big scarred hands, and pondered for a moment before asking, "Why are you working so hard!"
Shen Liang glanced down at his calloused hands, and then smiled, "If you don't work hard, you can't do it!
Situ Yan asked suspiciously, "Who? Could it be your parents?"
"It's fate!" Shen Liang said with a smile.
"Fate?" Situ Yan was stunned.
Shen Liang took a deep breath and smiled, his eyes revealing a little sourness, as well as that touch of unyielding.
"If I don't work hard, it wants my life all the time!"
Although this was a joke by Shen Liang, Situ Yan really heard a different taste from it, and even had a hint of anger.
Situ Yan didn't dare to ask more after hesitating, perhaps because she sympathized with the young man's experience in her heart, and was unwilling to uncover the scar in the young man's heart.
Speaking of which, Shen Liang has been in trouble since he was reborn, although he has a martial arts talent beyond ordinary people, but bad luck seems to follow.
Shen Liang was always worried that the primordial spirit hidden somewhere in his body would suddenly burst out, and it was a contest between life and death.
The decline of the Shen family, the rise of enemies, the capture of his father by the Xiao family, and the emergence of the Demon Family...... None of these were like a mountain that weighed him down.
If a person needs to pay a price in order to get an enviable and excellent talent, then this price is too big for Shen Liang.
Situ Yan quietly looked at Shen Liang, who was smiling, and surprisingly did not make as much noise as usual.
Just when the two of them were silent for a long time, there was a lot of laughter and scolding from the dark woods.
Immediately afterwards, under the somewhat solemn gaze of Shen Liang and the others, the figures of the twenties slowly walked out.
Shen Liang and Situ Yan were stunned for a moment!
Bao Wei didn't expect to meet this kid here again. This is really a narrow road!
"Stinky boy!
Leopard Wei carried the serial big knife and led everyone to rush towards Shen Liang and the others.
Looking at Situ Yan beside Shen Liang, such a beautiful face made Leopard Wei's heart suddenly flutter, and he immediately became bold. Looking at the dark and silent jungle around him, he made a crazy decision.
"Brothers, surround them for me!"
The twenty or so people fiercely held weapons and blocked the way of Shen Liang and the others, and they didn't hide the obscene color in their eyes when they looked at Situ Yan, and let out a burst of lewd laughter on the spot.
Shen Liang's face sank, his vigilance suddenly flourished, and he asked in a deep voice, "Leopard Wei, what do you want to do?"
Leopard Wei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed for a while, and he said, "It seems that you know my identity!"
Shen Liang snorted coldly and said, "The second master of the Tiger and Par Gate!"
That leopard Wei looked at Shen Liang with contempt, and sneered, "Since you know who I am, then leave that chick next to you, and hurry up and get out of the uncle!"
