You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 575 - 263: Too Excited to Sleep All Night

The news of Governor Shen Huaimin wanting to marry off his daughter quickly spread in Yu Yang County City, becoming a hot topic among the townsfolk. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Shen Huaimin was a clean and upright official, sent by the court to Youzhou for five years now.

Over the years, he recruited refugees, cultivated wasteland, restrained local magnates, and reformed the government office staff, making life somewhat bearable for the people, thus earning respect and a good reputation among the populace.

In the taverns of the city, many people were currently discussing the mysterious bridegroom.

"I’ve heard that Lord Shen’s daughter is strikingly beautiful, with captivating beauty. I wonder who is lucky enough to marry such a gorgeous bride."

"Lucky? Haha, I don’t think so."

"Why do you say that, brother?"

"I heard Sunx Xiangwen from the Sunx Family proposed to the Shen Family several times before, but was rejected. This time, it seems there will be a good show to watch."

Ye Qingzhou was quietly eating stir-fried broad beans, drinking liquor, and listening to the gossip related to him, successfully gathering a lot of useful information: "The Sunx Family are local magnates in Yu Yang. They previously tried to marry into the Shen Family to win over Shen Huaimin, but failed."

In the past two days, Ye Qingzhou had been coming to the tavern daily for half a day, relying on various hearsay to understand the situation in Yu Yang Commandery and even the entire Youzhou clearly.

Currently, the country he was in, named "Liang," had a national history of 223 years and was already reaching the end of its dynasty.

In the Da Liang Court, official positions were almost monopolized by noble families, resulting in the upper grades having no humble families and the lower grades having no aristocracy, completely blocking the path for social mobility.

And locally, each state and commandery of Da Liang was full of conflicts, with powerful families seizing power, engaging in land annexation, making the rich own fields everywhere while the poor had nowhere to stand.

Many farmers who lost their land turned into refugees, facing starvation and homelessness, further intensifying social unrest.

The entire Liang Kingdom was like a huge powder keg, with the lower-class people already unable to endure exploitation, resentment and anger accumulating, needing only a spark to ignite a prairie fire, explosively overturning the entire Liang Kingdom.

In fact, the Profound Celestial Sect rebellion three years ago had already ignited once.

Mobilizing over a million refugees, the Profound Celestial Sect initiated rebellions simultaneously in eleven out of the fourteen states within Da Liang, even occupying half the territory of the Central Plains at one point, delivering a heavy blow to the Da Liang Court, sweeping away the government’s dignity.

It even forced the court to lift military restrictions and allow local recruitment of brave soldiers to assist government troops in quelling the sect rebellion.

This move resolved the rebellion but also let the already uncontrolled local magnates further grow, continuing to erode the court’s foundation.

Once the balance of military power between the central and local governments is broken, power turmoil becomes unavoidable.

Earth Killing Intent rises, Dragons and Tigers emerge!

Currently, Liang already shows signs of numerous heroes rising together.

Ye Qingzhou poured himself a drink, his thoughts racing: "The Sunx Family grew prominent during the sect rebellion, and the Sunx Brothers are ambitious, having continuously hoarded grain and privately equipped armored soldiers over the years, their intentions are clear."

Although Da Liang quelled the rebellion triggered by the Profound Celestial Sect, it couldn’t calm the already restless hearts of the people.

Seeing that troubled times are approaching, some inevitably want to take risks, either rising with their armies or seizing regions to declare kingship, and the Sunx Brothers clearly have such intentions.

Moreover, they not only harbor these thoughts themselves but also plan to involve Shen Huaimin in their endeavors.

But Shen Huaimin was evidently unwilling, not that he was particularly loyal to the Liang’s imperial family, he simply didn’t believe the Sunx Brothers could succeed.

"So, am I being used as a pawn here?"

Ye Qingzhou quickly grasped Shen Huaimin’s thoughts and plans: "I come from a humble background, without complicated connections or a significant background, thus easily controllable. Also, I’m quite skilled in combat, hence I could serve as a sharp blade for the Shen Family, fighting for them, cutting pathways..."

It has to be said, Shen Huaimin’s scheming through marrying off his daughter was indeed exceedingly clever.

Ye Qingzhou didn’t particularly mind this.

In the adult world, mutual utilization among people is perfectly normal.

Anyway, he also needed to use the "influence" of the Shen Family; as long as Shen Huaimin didn’t obstruct his path, other matters were actually irrelevant.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was about to get up and leave, he suddenly heard someone mention the term "Xuanyuan Sword," and he immediately sat back down, listening closely.

"Hey, have you guys heard? The Divine Calculator Lv Gongming from Louguan Dao claims that Youzhou has the Emperor’s Qi. Two days ago, while night-watching the stars, he saw radiant auras from beyond the heavens, forming the Dragon and Tiger Form, profoundly noble, could it be that the Xuanyuan Sword is about to reappear?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou was startled. Wasn’t two days ago when he descended into this realm?

The radiant auras were surely caused by the temporal ripples triggered by the departure of his Divine Spirit from the Spiritual Realm, unexpectedly observed by someone.

Ye Qingzhou continued to listen attentively.

"Impossible! Does this mean there will be a change of dynasty in Da Liang?"

"Hey, you can’t say for sure. The Divine Weapon appears every three hundred years, each appearance heralds a leader emerging, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword to sweep across the land, uniting the Central Plains, and ushering in a peaceful era."
