"You don't have to be like this, father-in-law. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have known that the Jianghu people in our country were so arrogant."
Zhao Kang laughed, took a new cup and poured a cup of tea. He had been in Pingcheng for five days and spent ten taels of silver to rent this small courtyard.
Fang Shao took the tea cup and sighed, "This is also foreseeable. To be honest with you, Imperial Master, since you let Lao Nu take charge of the Imperial Guard."
"The old slave has thought about integrating the forces of the rivers and lakes and taking these warriors who usually fight and kill in the rivers and lakes for his own use. This period of time has been quite effective and has already won over many warriors. Although their realms are not high, they can still Worthy of use."
"I'm afraid that someone with good intentions has noticed this, so they want to use Zheng Xuan's incident as an excuse."
Zhao Kang crossed his legs and shook his fan, "My father-in-law, have you ever thought that there might be people from other countries adding fuel to the flames?"
Fang Shao couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise, "What did the Imperial Master mean?"
"You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others. The forces of the Jianghu may seem to be inconspicuous on weekdays, but at critical moments they can kill people. For example, Prince Ning's first floor?" .??.
Hearing this, Fang Shao was so frightened that he couldn't sit still. Prince Ning's first floor almost killed Her Majesty the Empress and Zhao Kang on the battlefield.
"calm down."
Seeing Fang Shao's reaction so violently, Zhao Kang closed his fan and said, "It is precisely because of the precedent of the First Floor that I must firmly control the Jianghu forces in our Qian Kingdom."
"The National Master has a far-sighted vision!"
Fang Shao hurriedly asked, "What should the Imperial Master do? Is there any old slave who can help?"
"Of course, inviting my father-in-law here is a request." Zhao Kang no longer looked frivolous when talking about serious matters.
Fang Shao said politely, "The Imperial Master's words are serious, but it doesn't matter."
"As my father-in-law knows, I have become a monk halfway through martial arts and martial arts matters. In the past, I didn't have much interest in martial arts matters."
Zhao Kang asked thoughtfully, "Have we had any top masters with great reputations in the past hundred years? Not to mention the powerful men in the terrifying realm of the second grade, are there any third grade ones?"
Jing Guo didn't talk about Wu Rulong, the number one master with unparalleled combat power, but he also talked about the former Ye Hongxue, the current King of Martial Arts Wu Tianhu, and the two ministers who had followed Zhao Kang to help Qian Guo.
There are four third-level masters alone!
There are also many masters from Zhou and Qi, including the two third-level masters that Ye Hongxue killed in the ring.
And the ones who killed him on the battlefield were Bai Wugu and Feng Tianguan.
Although a strong man of this level would not be a loser on the street, it is enough to show that the martial arts background of Zhou and Qi is stronger than that of Qian.
In the Qian Kingdom, in addition to Her Majesty the Empress, who is a fourth-level powerhouse, Zhao Kang knows Mr. Lin and Fang Shao in front of him are also at this level.
Apart from Prince Ning and Lu Xueying, who was killed by him, the only third-level strong men were Feng Bao, the original eunuch chief.
He died on the battlefield to save himself, leaving no trace of his body.
Compared to other countries, the quantity and quality of the warriors of the Qian Kingdom seem to be a bit inferior.
Zhao Kang knew that in addition to guarding the safety of the palace, experts like Fang Shao would also leave the palace from time to time to travel around the world.
Therefore, I would like to ask Fang Shao, has there ever been a top figure like the Xuanyuan Bubai mentioned by Wu Rulong and others in the Qian Kingdom in recent years?
In Wu Rulong's words, Xuanyuan Bubai was so powerful that he was the first to create the Xuanhuang Gong he practiced.
Hear the words.
Fang Shao said with some embarrassment, "The Imperial Master really thinks highly of our Qian Kingdom. Not to mention the second and third levels, the fourth level can already be said to be the top powerhouse in our Qian Kingdom."
"Tsk tsk, isn't it that bad? So I can be considered a top expert?" Zhao Kang joked.
Fang Shao couldn't laugh or cry, "It's really what you said, Imperial Master. The old slave entered the palace at the age of nine and was favored by the seniors in the palace to teach him martial arts. It has been fifty-four years now."
Looking quite nostalgic, Fang Shao said, "Although the old slave has spent most of his time in the palace these years, he still travels to the rivers and lakes every two years, both to practice and to deal with some villains that the government cannot catch. .”
"In the past hundred years, there really hasn't been any extremely powerful person in the world. Maybe there is, but it's also possible that he is hiding in the mountains and wilderness, concentrating on cultivation and not caring about worldly affairs."
Zhao Kang couldn't help but feel embarrassed after hearing this. He didn't expect the Jianghu people in Qian Country to be so rubbish. Could it be that he had to make one up himself?
This is too unconvincing.
Suddenly, Fang Shao thought of something and shouted, "National Master!"
"What did father-in-law think of?" Zhao Kang asked.
Fang Shao showed a look of recollection, "When I first entered the palace, the master who taught me martial arts seemed to have told me a secret. He said that there was a gap in our Qianguo martial arts! It seemed that he was killed by one person. "
Zhao Kang suddenly became interested and said, "Kill Fault! Who can be so arrogant? Father-in-law, please think carefully."
Fang Shao thought, "I remember what my master said back then. About two hundred years ago, the martial arts of our Qian Kingdom was actually no worse than that of Jing Kingdom. At that time, there was a ranking of the top ten masters. The old man said that the lowest ones on the list were all in the third grade." The top strong man in the middle class.”
"Is it credible?" Zhao Kang asked.
Fang Shao nodded, "It shouldn't be wrong. My master was seventy-two years old when he taught me."
"Calculating the time, it was at least a hundred and twenty years ago when he learned martial arts."
"What happened next?" Zhao Kang said.
Fang Shao thought while saying, "According to what his old man said, the forces in the world at that time were much more powerful than they are now, and top masters emerged one after another."
"But at that time, a man came out and killed the whole world. All the masters above level five were wiped out."
Fang Shao's eyes became clearer and clearer, "This man is the best in the world. He killed the strongest person in the entire world except him who was only fifth grade. He also burned all the martial arts secret books of the masters he killed!"
"As a result, there were basically no masters in the world for a hundred years. Even Lao Nu's master was only an upper-level fifth-grade practitioner at the beginning."
"There was a gap in martial arts from then on, and it took nearly a hundred years to recover, but it is still not as good as two hundred years ago."
Zhao Kang was shocked. It was too arrogant for one person to kill all the people in the world and burn down all the martial arts.
Fang Shao said, "Because the distance is too long, I am afraid that only people of my master's generation have heard of his existence. But maybe Jingguo has recorded it."
"After all, Jingguo started out in martial arts. One hundred and forty-six years ago, Xuanyuan Bubai, who was said to be invincible in the world, was born, killing all the top experts in the world!"
Zhao Kang nodded, "By the way, father-in-law, did your master tell you the name of the guy who killed the martial arts gap?"
Fang Shao said softly, "Cao Jianjia." "You don't have to be like this, father-in-law. If it weren't for this matter, I really wouldn't have known that the Jianghu people in our Qian country were so rampant."
Zhao Kang laughed, took a new cup and poured a cup of tea. He had been in Pingcheng for five days and spent ten taels of silver to rent this small courtyard.
Fang Shao took the tea cup and sighed, "This is also foreseeable. To be honest with you, Imperial Master, since you let Lao Nu take charge of the Imperial Guard."
