Yang Chengye led the horse, walking shoulder to shoulder with Niu Meng.

  "Boss, where are we going?"

  Niu Mengti carried a bundle and slung an axe over his shoulder, asking Yang Chengye.

  "Go into town!"

  Yang Chengye said: "Niu Er, from now on, you must think things through before doing them. You can't just do whatever comes to mind and jump to conclusions. Do you understand?"

  "Hehe"

  Niu Meng rubbed his head and smiled: "From now on I will definitely listen to the boss, today's matter is purely accidental, purely accidental!"

  Upon hearing this, Yang Chengye nodded and said: "Alright, I'll teach you once we've settled down."

  When Yang Chengye agreed, Niu Meng exclaimed excitedly: "Thank you, boss! Long live the boss!"

  Yang Chengye kicked a cow's buttocks with all his might, and he didn't believe the cow.

  Niú Mǎo is a rough but clever guy, he's clearly trying to disrupt Yang Chengye's plans, pretending to be foolish but actually being smarter than anyone at critical moments.

  Not to mention Niu Meng's acting skills are so exaggerated, even Hou Tonghai, a seasoned veteran, was played around by him.

  Along the way, Yang Chengye and Niu Mo chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they arrived at Hangzhou City, which was also the capital of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty.

  Lin'an City, as the capital of Southern Song Dynasty, was economically prosperous and commercially thriving. Both land and water transportation were highly developed, and the city walls were majestic with a wide and deep moat surrounding Lin'an City, making it impregnable.

  Lin'an City was the city where Fang La proclaimed himself emperor during the Song Huizong period. At that time, Song Jiang led the Liangshan Po army to attack it for a long time but failed to capture it, and suffered heavy losses, which can be seen from this.

  Yang Chengye and Niu Miao stood in front of the city, seeing the city gate wide open, merchants and travelers coming and going, people passing by continuously, like a shuttle, even foreigners with curly hair and green eyes were present.

  "Boss, is this Lin'an City? It's really too big!" Niu Meng exclaimed with a look of shock and amazement.

  Yang Chengye said in a low voice: "Having arrived at Lin'an City, under the emperor's feet, you should be more restrained, do you understand?"

  "Heh heh, I know, I've heard it all from the boss!"

  "You let me go east, I absolutely won't go west. You let me catch a chicken, I absolutely won't chase a dog?"

  "Alright, let's get serious!"

  Yang Chengye finished speaking and walked towards the city, Niu Meng hurriedly followed up.

  As we enter the city gate, a team of patrolling soldiers catches our eye, with strict discipline and in an orderly manner.

  Further inside are rows of shops, with neat buildings and tidy entrances.

  On both sides of the street are vendors, with hawkers' cries and peddlers' calls rising and falling in succession.

  During the Song Dynasty, commerce was already very developed, and merchants from neighboring countries would come to trade, even European businessmen were not uncommon.

  Not far from the city gate, a wall was built separately, and the wall was sprayed with ink, showing a glossy black color.

  This wall is where the imperial court posted notices, such as wanted orders and announcements, which were all publicly displayed on this wall.

  At this time, many people were gathered in front of the wall, pointing and gesturing at the notice on the wall.

  Yang Chengye walked over out of curiosity, but his small stature was blocked by the people in front, and he couldn't see the notice.

  At this time, someone was heard reciting: "The Liang Wang Fu announcement states that the Liang Wang Jun Zhuang is suffering from a serious illness. The imperial physicians in the palace are unable to do anything and are now recruiting famous doctors from all over the world. If you can cure the Jun Zhuang, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and if the Jun Zhuang likes you, you may be appointed as the husband of the Jun Zhuang."

  A few words sparked public debate.

  "Old Liang Wang is really pitiful. In the past, young Liang Wang was killed by Yue Yuanshuai, but Old Liang Wang magnanimously did not pursue it. Now his only granddaughter has contracted a terrible illness, truly heaven is blind!"

  "I don't know what illness the princess has contracted, but it's actually got the imperial physicians stumped?"

  "Who knows, but it's said that Princess Liang is a stunning beauty, a national treasure and a heavenly fragrance. If I can cure her illness, maybe I'll have the chance to get close to her!"

  His words instantly brought laughter from everyone, and they scolded him for being a toad who wants to eat swan meat, without even considering his own moral character.

  Yang Chengye was not interested in these things at all, and he didn't lack money either. Before leaving, Shen You stuffed many silver tickets into his luggage, probably also tens of millions of taels.

  Yang Chengye said to the hesitant Niu Meng: "Let's go!"

  Niu Meng had been unable to stay any longer, his eyes constantly glancing at the wine buildings on both sides of the street. Upon hearing this, he was suddenly overjoyed and followed along.

  "Big brother, shouldn't we offer sacrifices to the Temple of the Five Organs?"

  Niu Meng chased up Yang Chengye and said with a smile.

  Yang Chengye was speechless, this guy always remembers to eat, it's just been a while and he's hungry again.

  Helpless, Yang Chengye found a hotel that looked quite clean and walked over.

  "Hey, you two gentlemen, are you staying here or just having a meal?"

  Yang Chengye and his companion had just led their horses to the entrance of the hotel when a young shop assistant came up to greet them with a smile.

  Yang Chengye said: "Go and feed my horse well."

  "Welcome, sir! Please come in!"

  The young shop assistant answered and took over the reins from Yang Chengye's hand and went to the backyard.

  Yang Chengye and Niu Meng walked into the hotel, led by another shopkeeper, found a table near the window, and ordered some food, but did not order wine.

  After Xia'er left, Yang Chengye admired the street view outside the window.

  The hotel business is good, although it has not reached the point where there are no empty seats, but only one or two tables left.

  Yang Chengye discovered a phenomenon where those who came to this hotel to eat were all some wandering swordsmen with long swords at their waists or holding daggers.

  They sat in twos and threes at a table, eating and drinking while chatting.

  "Have you heard? Tonight, Nanhai Sword Saint is going to duel Zhang Sanqiang by West Lake."

  "I also heard that their stake seems to be some kind of religious leader position."

  "What kind of master? Could it be the Demon Master?"

  "What is demonic teaching? It's Mingjiao, which was transmitted from Persia."

  "What is the relationship between Nanhai Jianzun and Zhang Sanqiang? Why are they competing for the position of Mingjiao leader?"

  "You don't know this, but I've heard that Nanhai Sword Master is the personal disciple of the current Ming Cult leader Yu Wu Po, while Zhang Sanqiang is the vice-leader of the Ming Cult. It's really hard to understand why Zhang Sanqiang wants to compete with Nanhai Sword Master for the position of leader. With Nanhai Sword Master's abilities, can Zhang Sanqiang win?"

  "You don't know this, but the Ming Cult's doctrine is to pass on to the worthy, not to relatives. As long as someone has ability, they can become the Cult Leader, even if Nanhai Sword Saint was Yu Wubao's direct disciple, he still had to rely on his own abilities to contend for the position."

  "That's quite something to behold! The young master of the South Sea Sword Sect has extraordinary swordsmanship and is also a handsome gentleman!"

  Yang Chengye was secretly shocked to hear this, as the Ming Cult had always been labeled as rebels and they were indeed rebelling against the imperial court, so how could they still openly hold a martial arts competition at West Lake?

  Yang Chengyi knew that the Ming Cult had only ten leaders, namely Fang La, Zhong Jiao Zhu, Wang Zong Shi, Yu Wu Po, Zhang San Qiang, Shi Jiao Zhu, Yi Jiao Zhu, Yang Ding Tian, Zhang Wuji and finally Yang Xiao.

  Every time an uprising fails, the leader will never have a good ending.

  Yu Wupo also rebelled before, didn't she die?

  Yang Chengye also had an idea of taking a look at the situation.
