After putting on the Feiyu uniform of Jinyiwei and taking the embroidered spring knife from Zhu Ming, Xie Xiaofeng took a look at this outfit, a strange expression appeared on his face, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that one day I would choose to join.

Jinyiwei."

"Okay, come with me back to Beizhen Fusi."

Jiang Lan casually glanced at these martial artists who were so frightened that they were sitting on their chairs, then turned and left with Xie Xiaofeng.

Just when everyone in the tavern thought that the God of War was leaving, Ma Zhangmen, who was lying on the ground, opened half of his eyes and peeked in the direction Jiang Lan was leaving.

Jiang Lan said coldly: "Zhu Ming, go and take all those who offend our royal guards to Zhao Prison. If you encounter any resistance, behead them on the spot!"

"As you command!"

Zhu Ming took the order respectfully, and immediately muttered to the warriors present in the tavern: "Everyone sitting here today, please come with us. If you are innocent people, I will let you go.

Those who speak rudely should also suffer some physical pain to remember it!"

The voice fell, and the cold sound of drawing a sword rang out among the Jinyi Guards.

In front of such a large number of Jin Yiwei, or at the gate of Fusi in Beizhen, how can these martial artists have the ability to resist, let alone the courage to resist the Jin Yiwei!

The only choice is to surrender and be captured.

Those Jianghu warriors who were sitting in other taverns and watching from a distance did not dare to take a breath at this time, for fear that their actions would make some of the royal guards unhappy, and they would be kidnapped back for interrogation.

On the entire street, except for the neat footsteps of the guards in uniform escorting people back to Fusi, Beizhen, there was no other sound.

It took a long time after all the Jin Yiwei returned to Fusi, Beizhen. After some unknown hawkers came to them hawking along the street, the street regained some vitality.

Gradually, some became bolder and began to whisper a few words.

"Aren't Jin Yiwei afraid of the wrath of the martial arts world when they do this? If the martial arts world unites, what does it mean that he is just a Jin Yiwei?"

Hearing this, someone immediately laughed disdainfully: "The martial arts world is united? If this scattered martial arts world can be united, do we still have to worry about Jin Yiwei and Dongchang riding on our heads?"

"Hundreds of years ago, the Kingdom of Wu was not established. When the Zhou Dynasty ruled, the martial arts world was so lively at that time. Under the leadership of the martial arts leader, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was so afraid that he couldn't sleep every day. The words of the martial arts leader were even worse than him.

The emperor's words are still important, but I didn't expect that the world of martial arts would become like this."

Some older warriors sighed, remembering the grand occasion of the martial arts world back then.

In the previous dynasty, that is, under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, the great masters in the martial arts world were not so rare at that time. Even the martial arts myths were full of talented people, and the martial arts world was quite lively.

For a martial arts legend, the millions of soldiers possessed by the Zhou Dynasty are meaningless!

By relying on sheer numbers, you can withstand the great masters, but you will never be able to withstand the mythical warriors in the martial arts world.

Unless these soldiers are composed of strong men above the third level, they can still rely on their sheer numbers to cause some trouble to the masters of the mythical realm of martial arts.

Of course, this is impossible.

Therefore, during the Zhou Dynasty, the status of the imperial court was very low compared to now.

At that time, the status of martial arts in Jianghu was very high.

The Jianghu Wulin holds a martial arts conference every ten years, inviting various martial arts families, famous sects, and martial arts masters to participate in a competition to identify a martial arts leader with both martial arts and moral integrity to preside over fairness and justice in the martial arts world.

When the alliance leader ordered the talisman to arrive, the alliance leader was deemed to be in person. No one in the world dared to resist the alliance leader's order.

Anyone who disobeys orders is regarded as a public enemy of the martial arts world. The leader of the alliance can give orders to all sects and factions, and they will be punished on sight!

The words of this martial arts leader are more important than the emperor's decree.

It can even be said that if this martial arts leader wants to be the emperor, it is all a matter of one word from him!

It's just that for this strong man who holds the title of the leader of the martial arts alliance, being an emperor has no benefits at all. It will also cause trouble for himself. Moreover, people in the world have always looked down on the imperial court and classified the warriors who belong to the imperial court as court eagle dogs. Therefore, the leader of the martial arts alliance does not disdain him at all.

Yu Dang Emperor.

Although he is not the emperor, his power is far higher than that of the emperor, so much so that every time the leader of the alliance takes office, the emperor of the current dynasty has to personally congratulate him and salute him!

It can be said that no one in the world dares to disobey!

At that time, the world of martial arts was extremely prosperous.

For example, Shaolin was passed down from the Wu Dynasty. At that time, Shaolin was also very prosperous. Many martial arts leaders came from Shaolin and accumulated a profound foundation for Shaolin. There was even a saying in the world - the world's martial arts.

Shaolin.

This is simply due to the special nature of Buddhist practice. Even if you understand a few words in a Buddhist scripture, you can break through the great masters.

As the number of great masters increases, more powerful men in the mythical realm of martial arts will naturally emerge.

Therefore, the four major temples united and became known as half of the world of martial arts.

But as time goes by.

Not only Shaolin, but countless martial arts sects back then were slowly declining!

Nowadays, there is no such good thing as being able to break through the great master by understanding some Buddhist scriptures.

But for some reason, the upper limit of what warriors in the world can touch seems to be inexplicably getting lower.

Even those strong men in the martial arts myth realm back then could not find the answer to this question.

Unable to break through the land gods above the realm of martial arts mythology, they can only be forced to accept the fact that they will grow old and die slowly.

Finally, hundreds of years later, today, the old martial arts myths have died, and no new martial arts myths have been born. At that time, each sect had great masters, but now they have become the strongest masters in the world.

Therefore, the imperial court with a large number of soldiers naturally became stronger.

At that time, the martial arts world was so prosperous that in the Wu Dynasty hundreds of years later, even though the martial arts world was now so weak that even a great master was extremely rare, martial arts practitioners still called themselves Jianghu people. This shows how much this name can bring.

A sense of pride.

Thinking about this vicissitudes of life, some older people sighed.

"Well, it seems that this world is slowly declining day by day."

The changes of the times are a heavy blow to them. No one does not hope that another martial arts leader will appear in the martial arts world to unite the martial arts world.

Let them return to that glorious era, instead of the current court looking forward to their death, and they are still fighting for power among themselves, and you will die and I will die.

When everyone was in a sad mood, a sentence suddenly popped out from nowhere.

"From the gossip, I heard that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shaolin will hold a martial arts conference to elect a new martial arts leader and command the world!"

This person's words immediately aroused the fighting spirit of these warriors, and they asked excitedly.

"Is this true?"

"Isn't Shaolin afraid that the imperial court will cause trouble for them?"

"I heard that Shaolin has stopped raising the banner of martial arts for several years since the evil monk incident, and even cooperated with Jin Yiwei to become a court eagle dog. If Shaolin can make such a big contribution to the martial arts world, it will be

Shaolin has been inherited for so many years and has the title of master of martial arts!"

A long time passed without anyone replying, it was like throwing out a fake message.

But at this moment, a bald monk came over. Seeing the fiery eyes of everyone, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha."

"Little monk, I heard that Shaolin is going to hold a martial arts conference. Is this true or false?"

"Does Shaolin want to revive the martial arts world and lead us back to that peak era?"

The excited warriors surrounded the young monk who came over. They asked me questions one after another.

The bald monk didn't know how to answer for a while, so he lowered his head and replied slowly: "Monks don't lie. I can't answer your question, monk. When the time comes, everyone will naturally know whether it is true or false."

His vague words confirmed the authenticity of the previous rumor.

That means Shaolin is really going to hold a martial arts conference!

Of course, the imperial court would not watch this happen. If Shaolin dared to announce it to the world today, the imperial court would probably send troops to the foot of the Shaolin Temple that day.

But if it is just a rumor, the imperial court has no reason to send troops.

After all, Shaolin is a major martial arts sect that has existed since the Zhou Dynasty. If the evil monk incident had not severely damaged Shaolin, I am afraid that the great master of Shaolin would still be around today.

Besides, after so many years of inheritance, who knows what trump card Shaolin has.

Moreover, the imperial court is already disliked by the Jianghu. If it were to surround Shaolin based only on the rumors, I am afraid that everyone in the Jianghu would be in danger!

Shaolin, which has been passed down for so many years, is at risk of being taken over by the imperial court. What about them?

Nowadays, all the major martial arts sects have no masters at the grand master level. If the imperial army attacks them, they will die without any chance of survival.

Coupled with the weak influence left by several former martial arts leaders of Shaolin, if Shaolin calls out for such a major event, it is likely that the entire world will respond and bring disciples and members of sects to assist Shaolin.
p>

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the imperial court will never take action against these martial arts masters, especially Shaolin.

The imperial court was afraid that this move would stimulate the martial arts world and cause them to unite. This is something the imperial court never wanted to see.

As the bald monk walked away.

The remaining warriors in the martial arts community have rushed to tell each other that Shaolin will hold a martial arts conference in the near future.

Naturally, many people didn't believe it at first, but as the story spread, and the vague words of each Shaolin monk vaguely confirmed the truth of this matter, it quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

city, and spread rapidly to the north and south of the Yangtze River.

......

Dongchang.

Cao Zhengchun was drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, which was full of aphrodisiacs. The strong bitter taste spread throughout the room, but Cao Zhengchun was drinking it very fragrantly.

At his feet, a red eunuch knelt respectfully on the ground and reported to the factory owner Cao Zhengchun.

"Our family has completed the matters ordered by the factory owner. The third young master of the Xie family entered Kyoto today and is now in the tavern opposite Fusi in Beizhen, just waiting for Jiang Lan to show up!"

He is none other than Eunuch Hong, one of the four eunuchs guarding the palace in Dongchang. He had previously been highly valued by Wang Zhi, the second governor of Dongchang.

Three of the four eunuchs guarding the palace were all from Cao Zhengchun, and only Eunuch Hong was left, who was from Wang Zhi, the second governor of Dongchang.

However, after Cao Zhengchun achieved the first level of Dzogchen, Eunuch Hong also expressed his loyalty to Cao Zhengchun and was willing to sacrifice his life for Cao Zhengchun.

However, since he had always been Wang Zhi's man, Cao Zhengchun was not sure whether this was Wang Zhi's plan to surrender, so he sent Eunuch Hong to inquire about the news here. Therefore, although Eunuch Hong had expressed his loyalty a long time ago, he was very unhappy with Cao Zhengchun.

Zhengchun trust.

Since Jiang Lan didn't get along with Dongchang, Cao Zhengchun had long thought that Wang Zhi would choose to win over Jiang Lan. It was just a matter of time.

So Cao Zhengchun handed over this matter that was not important to him but very important to Wang Zhi to Eunuch Hong, and took a look at Wang Zhi's reaction.

Wang Zhi didn't react at all and had no idea at all. He didn't even know Jiang Lan was on the list until the Heaven and Earth Ranking was announced. Eunuch Hong's handling of this matter made Cao Zhengchun quite satisfied.

After a while, Cao Zhengchun slowly stopped while drinking the medicinal soup, breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes shot out a ray of light, and he sighed: "It's so good!"

"Factory owner?"

Eunuch Hong looked troubled. As early as when he was under Wang Zhi, he had heard that Cao Zhengchun was very fond of aphrodisiacs and had some special hobbies. He did not expect that Cao Zhengchun would expose these in front of him.

Cao Zhengchun closed his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "I know about this matter. When Xie Xiaofeng kills Jiang Lan, I will have reason to take action against Shenjian Villa. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Eunuch Hong wiped the cold sweat from his head and thought to himself: "Why did Eunuch Cao tell me such a thing... Could it be that he still doesn't trust me and is afraid that I will tell the truth?"

But Eunuch Hong still forced a smile on his face and complimented: "The factory master's ingenuity is truly due to the fact that Zhuge Liang is alive and unparalleled in the world. Today I will teach that Jiang Lan has never come back and died at the door of Fusi, Beizhen!"
p>

Cao Zhengchun took a sip of the medicinal soup and chuckled softly: "You are quite good at talking. If you follow this governor, you will have a good opportunity to ride the east wind in the future. If the positions of the two governors of Dongchang become vacant in the future,

, that is, two of the four of you, you are doing a good job, you should understand what this governor means."

Eunuch Hong's face was dripping with cold sweat, and his sleeves were soaked with sweat.

There is no fool who has reached this position. Eunuch Hong naturally understood the meaning of Cao Zhengchun's words.

Today, the power of the East Factory is overwhelming, and even the Jin Yiwei and the cabinet will be suppressed by it.

And Dongchang has its own bodyguards. When the commander of the Imperial Forbidden Army met the two governors of Dongchang, he had to show courtesy and did not want to have anything to do with them.

As for the second governor Wang Zhi, it was only a matter of time that Cao Zhengchun squeezed him out of the East Factory or even eliminated him, so Wang Zhi's position will definitely be available.

But now Cao Zhengchun is so powerful that he is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

If he wants to move up...

Eunuch Hong couldn't even think about it... This kind of thing has never been done by a eunuch in history. If it succeeds, it's easy to say. If it fails, I'm afraid the entire Dongchang will be razed to the ground, and everyone will not be able to do it.
