"The four great powers of Tatar, Annan, Tubo, and Japan are preparing to invade the Central Plains. The Central Plains will soon be devastated. In order to deal with this, the imperial court decided to organize a martial arts alliance and elect a martial arts alliance leader to participate in the war."
"All sects must participate. If there are rebels who defect to the enemy, the leader of the martial arts alliance can handle it himself. This matter is a matter of life and death for the people of the Central Plains, and also a matter of the entire Ming Dynasty. I will never allow anyone to do this. He was holding back and acting traitorously."
"Your Emei sect is only responsible for taking the lead. I will go to Shaolin, Wudang, Beggar Clan, Wushuang City...these big sects. If they are willing to cooperate, everything will continue as usual. If they are not willing, I will take Poshen with me. Crossbow, Vulcan cannon, one more trip..."
Zhu Youji's tone was very calm, but the coercion and dominance he exuded could not be faked.
Master Wugou is very aware of the seriousness of this matter. Considering the Ming Dynasty’s current national strength, it may not be possible to defend against the invasion of the four major countries. In other words, the establishment of the Wulin Alliance now is, to a large extent, the result of the Ming Dynasty’s fall. self-rescue.
No, it should be said to be a dying struggle.
The Ming Dynasty was strong and powerful, but that was only after the Kunlun Demon Cult was dealt with. Although the number of masters dropped sharply, the troops and horses were in good order, and the crossbows and artillery were fully equipped. When the four countries came to court, they all bowed their heads, which gave the Ming Dynasty enough face.
It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty liberalized trade and allowed Japan, Tibet, Tatar, and Annan to trade freely.
But it was also because of the development of free trade that many secrets of the Ming Dynasty were leaked, and many high-ranking officials were corrupted. Important technologies and mineral materials were sold off for profit.
Therefore, Japan was able to imitate the inferior God-breaking crossbow - Breaking Formation Crossbow.
Is it because Japan cannot make the original one?
No, on the contrary, this is the smart Japanese way.
Deliberately only making inferior ones, hiding the original version, paralyzing Ming, and waiting for the critical moment to give Ming a fatal blow.
The enemy's desire to destroy China will never die!
The same is true for Tubo. The more obedient, respectful and humble they are, the more dangerous they are.
It's a pity that because of Emperor Tianqi's cultivation, Ming Dynasty has fallen behind unknowingly.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the eternal truth.
Even Master Wugou, who has been in seclusion, can see through this matter.
But all the princes in the dynasty did not see it and turned a deaf ear?
This shows that Ming Dynasty is still rotten to the core.
"Your Highness, the Emei Sect can help with this matter, and can also help defend against foreign troops. However, I only hope that Your Highness can use the butcher knife less on his own people."
"Even if they are going to die, I hope they will die for the people of the Central Plains and not die in their own hands." Master Wugou sighed and said softly.
Zhu Youji looked at Master Wugou and said, "I'll try my best."
Zhu Youji did not say anything, because he knew very well that there were spies from the four major countries in the court, not to mention the complicated martial arts world?
How high can the bottom line of quacks be?
Many martial arts people, perhaps unknowingly, have become lackeys of the four major powers...
Because it has been corroded from the head, down to the level of the head elder.
The enemy is within!
The reason why Zhu Youji was not in a hurry to kill Zhu Youtang, the second brother of Yumu Prefecture, but made a special trip to the martial arts world was that he was worried that the complex situation in the martial arts world would affect the overall situation.
It is indeed important to kill Zhu Youtang, but even if he dies, the four major countries will still invade, and martial arts sects are distributed throughout the Ming Dynasty. There may be martial arts people in various strongholds, city gates, and fortresses. If they cooperate inside and outside, the city will be It's impossible to hold on to it.
Hulong Villa, Jinyiwei, Xichang, Dongchang, Fengmanlou, even if these intelligence organizations spread all over the world, it is impossible to monitor each gang. This requires the martial arts alliance and its own supervision.
Only Wulin can control Wulin.
"Whoosh!"
A fiery red figure flew over from a distance and landed in front of Zhu Youji.
"Hey, it's done."
Hongkui put away the fiery red long bow with her backhand, snorted softly and said.
"Next time, don't say hello. Otherwise, call me your highness. Otherwise, call me master. Do you hear me?" Zhu Youji frowned slightly and reminded.
"No!" Hong Kui turned her head arrogantly and ignored Zhu Youji, as if the lady was unwilling.
"Okay." Zhu Youji nodded, with a smile on his lips, and threatened: "Since you don't want to, then I will let Solanum nigrum bark every day. Call me every day when you get up and call me when you go to bed."
"Hey! You crossed the river and demolished the bridge. I helped you, and you still threatened me." Hong Kui's face changed, and she quickly pointed at Zhu Youji and said dissatisfied.
"Then what's your name?" Zhu Youji asked.
"Your Highness." Hongkui had no choice but to frown and call out in a low voice, then turned into red gas and returned to the magic sword.
Zhu Youji smiled and shook his head, raised his hand, took back the magic sword, and carried it behind his back.
"She's quite special." Master Wugou sighed when she saw this scene.
Zhu Youji said: "It's okay. The child's temper can be cured by educating him."
"Let's go, let's go meet Sanniang and the others."
"Yeah." Master Wu Gua hummed softly, and the two of them walked towards the direction where Yan Sanniang and the others escaped.
After a while, everyone met.
"Master, that's great, you're fine." Ling Yun saw Zhu Youji and the Empress Dowager Wugu, and was very excited and said.
Master Wugou nodded, looked at everyone, and said softly: "I'm fine."
"Ling Yun, Sanniang, your injuries are the least serious. You go and inform me that all the enemies have been killed. Let the disciples gather at the Yangxin Hall. I have something to say." Master Wu Gu ordered.
"Yes, Master." Yan Sanniang had a lot of things she wanted to ask Master Wugu, and a lot of grievances she wanted to talk about, but she knew very well that this was not the time.
"Yes, Master."
After Ling Yun responded, he took Yan Sanniang and walked towards the Emei Sect disciples scattered everywhere.
After the two left, Master Wugu walked towards Zhu Youji and the three Masters towards the Yangxin Hall.
…
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Master Wugu went to the library, took out the secret books of "Emei Nine Yang Gong" and "Randeng Ancient Sword", and gave them to Zhu Youji.
"Your Highness, this is the secret book of Emei Nine Yang Gong and Ran Deng Ancient Sword." Master Wu Gu said softly.
Zhu Youji took the secret book and opened it directly without hesitation.
Zhu Youji's eyes flashed, and the jade-blood elixir in his body took effect. Countless words were turned into content in a way that was invisible to the naked eye, and all of them were imprinted in his brain. The true energy in his body automatically circulated, and he began to practice automatically according to the content of the words.
In just half a stick of incense, the two martial arts have been read through, and the two martial arts have also been completed in Zhu Youji's body.
"That's enough." Zhu Youji returned the two classics to Master Wugou.
The next moment, a slightly retro long sword appeared in Zhu Youji's hand.
His figure, accompanied by a long sword, began to wave in the hall...
