Chapter Twenty-Three Martial Arts recruiting relatives (1)
Chapter 23 Competition to recruit a bride
"Wha, what?! A martial arts competition to recruit a bride?" Hearing his master's answer, Zhong Lingxi was stunned for a moment. After a while, he asked in surprise: "That's not right, Lao Yezi, what I just said was not to get married.
To Zhong Rui, what does this have to do with my martial arts competition to find a bride?"
The old man squinted his eyes, touched his mustache, and said calmly: "The reason why Zhong Rui wants to marry you is because he holds the letter from your grandfather. No matter whether the letter was written by your grandfather or not, as long as it belongs to the Zhong family,
If all the elders admit this, it is basically a certainty."
Seeing that the girl wanted to refute, but he did not give her a chance, he immediately continued: "Even if you are seeking death and seeking a living, crying and shouting not to marry him, this is not an obstacle or a problem. The Zhong family will not even consider whether you want to or not.
Yes." The fastest updated mobile version::
Although Zhong Lingxi was very reluctant to admit this, she did not deny it verbally because she knew that her master was right.
"But this marriage is, after all, a matter between two people. Although the wishes of the elders and the family are important, they are not absolute. As long as you compete to recruit a bride and marry yourself off, no matter how powerful or shameless the Zhong family is,
, and you won’t let one maid serve two husbands." Ou Yezi looked confident, obviously proud that he could come up with such a good idea.
With a dark look on her face, the girl said indifferently: "So what you just said, that I will never marry means that I will marry a pig, a dog, but not him?"
“That’s right! What I asked you just now, you said it yourself!” Lao Yezi said matter-of-factly.
“Then what if I say that I won’t marry anyone? If you force me to marry, I will die!” she shouted angrily.
Lao Yezi smiled and said lightly: "Do you know what ** is?"
Zhong Lingxi: “……”
…
Early the next morning, an explosive news came out from Qingling Peak.
Zhong Lingxi, an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect, known as one of the "Three Beauties of Qingchuan County", officially announced a competition to recruit a bride.
In just one morning, the entire Qingyun Sect's disciples were discussing this matter. By the afternoon, this news had stirred up the entire Qingchuan County martial arts world.
You must know that Qingchuan County is a large county controlled by Jianghu forces, and its Jianghu status is close to the same level as that of Luoyun Kingdom. Except for Luoyun State Religion Luo Yun Sect, most other sects are concentrated in Qingchuan County.
Ouyang Changfeng was sitting alone in the main hall. He naturally knew the whole story. The day before, he had told his junior brother that Zhong Lingxi should find a home as soon as possible. He never expected that he always liked to be independent and never listened to himself.
The junior brother who made the suggestion was so obedient and acted quickly!
While thinking about this, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
"Brother, do you think this can be done like this?" Lao Yezi asked excitedly with his mustache raised. To be honest, he didn't expect it to cause such a big impact, and the scope of its influence obviously extends beyond
The Qingyun Sect has three-quarters of an acre of land.
“Junior brother, you did a great job this time! You are so particular!”
“...Senior Brother, I don’t think you are praising me when you say this!”
"Tsk! You're thinking too much, you must be thinking too much! Did you think about Lingxi's marriage proposal all night last night, and you're exhausted this morning? Come on, get busy! It's really good! That's great
, be particular about it!”
Lao Yezi walked out of Qingyun Palace with his eyes closed. Although he felt that the attitude of the head brother in the past morning was a bit unusual, what was more important at the moment was how to choose a truly good husband for his precious apprentice!
Zhong Rui was sitting in the Zhong Family Branch in Qingyun City, listening to the news reported by the people below. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water.
“Sir, sir, this is the current news.” The man was half-kneeling on the ground, not daring to look up at the head of the Zhong family.
"A competition to recruit a bride? Haha, it's interesting! This little hooves is going to cause all these troubles for me, hum! Okay, I want to see what tricks you can come up with for me?" Zhong Rui's eyes were filled with anger.
He was crazy and said in a deep voice.
Just at this moment, a boy came in from outside again, holding a letter in his hand. He walked straight to Zhong Rui and handed the letter over.
“Sir, this is the order letter from the elders of the Zhong family!”
Since the death of Zhong Qianhe, the patriarch of the Zhong family, the power has fallen to the elders of the Zhong family. Although they are all branches of the Zhong family, their status in the clan is not low. Moreover, Zhong Lingxi's father took care of her when she was very young.
With his wife, he left the Zhong family and went to the Far East Kingdom. At that time, Zhong Lingxi's sister Zhong Nacong was still an infant. To put it into detail, the two sisters grew up with Zhong Qianhe.
Later, Yinren Town was destroyed, and the original six major families fell apart. Tiexin Village also took the opportunity to rebel from Yinren's control. Many people fled their hometown and chose to make a living elsewhere.
Among them, the Zhong family and a group of people who originally belonged to Yinren Town fled to Qingchuan County. Among them, a group headed by Lin Rufa took root in Qingchuan County. After all, Qingchuan County has the most say in the world.
The two sects Qingyun and Xiaoyuan are helping each other, so it is naturally not difficult to rebuild.
However, Lin Rufa is not Lin Hengshan. When it comes to blacksmithing, this black-faced man can be regarded as a chief engineer-level figure, but when it comes to political tactics, he is completely confused.
Fortunately, the salary organization left by the Zhao family and the mountain patrol team left by the Li family allowed Yinren to survive in Qingchuan County. But when it comes to rebuilding the glorious past of Yinren Town in Luoye County, it is obvious that
It's impossible.
In addition, Luo Yunzong did not intend to let go of these "rebellious ministers and traitors" easily. Whether in the court or in the world, the difficulties faced by Lin Rufa were no less than when Lin Hengshan established Yinren Town.
Zhong Rui took the order letter respectfully, and then quickly read the contents on it aside, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He did not expect that the influence of this contest to recruit a bride would be so profound.
The elders of the Zhong family asked Zhong Rui to try his best to win this competition. If he failed in the end, the Zhong family would be the laughing stock in the world. Moreover, the elders of the clan also made harsh words. If Zhong Rui loses in the end,
If he loses the competition, his marriage to Zhong Lingxi will be cancelled.
The Zhong family attaches great importance to a big shopkeeper like Zhong Rui, but compared to the Zhong family's reputation, these elders chose what he considered to be the least valuable thing.
He waved his hand and told the two young men who were reporting the news to step back first. The young man needed to calm down first before deciding on his next plan. After about a cup of tea, Zhong Rui called a maid and whispered:
: "Give this letter to the master as soon as possible and ask her to send four martial arts masters to help. At the very least, we have to ask for masters in the chivalrous realm!"
As he spoke, Zhong Rui picked up his pen and wrote the letter in just ten breaths. He dried the ink stains and handed it directly to the maid.
…………Dividing line…………
Yi Xifeng stepped off the ship from the port of Xiaoyuanhai. Looking at the busy harbor and the men at the dock wearing white undershirts, he asked a random person:
“Hey, brother, I want to ask you something.”
The young man was initially a little annoyed when he was stopped, but when he saw the man in front of him, he had a handsome, clean face, and was full of heroic spirit. He was also wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, and he looked very refined.
“Little Taoist Master, please speak.”
Yi Xifeng smiled calmly, and then started chatting with the man in front of him. From the relationship between the various forces in Qingchuan County to the customs of Xiaohe Town, he was like a scholar who has traveled around the world.
"Little Taoist Priest, just listen to me and go to the south bank of Xiaoyuan Sea first. There is the world-famous Xiaoyuan Academy, the best academy in the world." The man obviously started chatting, and he was excited about it.
No need to trick him with Yi Xifeng's words, he just said it himself.
“Then, let’s go to the north shore of Xiaoyuan Sea, which is the territory of the Feng Shui Gang, our old club.”
"Feng Shui Gang? Old club?" Yi Xifeng asked with some surprise and uncertainty. Obviously this Feng Shui Gang caught his attention. If they remembered correctly, Chunfeng Town also established a gang with the same name as Shahe Gang.
It's called "Feng Shui Gang".
“Yes, this water transport, canal transport, etc. are all the business of the Feng Shui Gang. Even if you don’t mix with them, you still have to be taken care of by them.” Speaking of the Feng Shui Gang, this strong man was obviously a little secretive.
“Is this Feng Shui Gang headed by three people, and they are not locals?” Xiaodao, a young man wearing a white robe, asked quickly.
“Yes, yes, that’s true!” The man was also surprised that the other party could really see what he was thinking.
After listening to this man's introduction, Yi Xifeng was also very grateful, so he took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the other person. After all, it was enough to give him a small amount of money if he had delayed the other person for so long.
Yi Xifeng had not just come down from Zhenwu Mountain, so of course he would not care about this.
The dock man was stunned when he saw that the other party actually gave him a piece of silver. He was even a little embarrassed to ask for the piece of silver. Seeing such a simple man, Yi Xifeng also smiled and said goodbye to his opponent.
He did not listen to the other party's advice and went to Xiaoyuan Academy first. It was not that he did not want to meet Lin Fenghuo and others, but that he had more important things to do. Because just when he was chatting with the man, he heard a piece of news,
The most beautiful disciple of the Qingyun Sect is going to have a public competition to recruit a bride!
This news made Yi Xifeng panic. It was not that he cared much about Zhong Lingxi, but in his subconscious mind, the most beautiful woman in the Qingyun Sect was naturally his new sister.

Li Xintian wants to openly recruit a bride? She is only fourteen this year! Isn't this illegal?
Yi Xifeng kept shouting in his heart. Obviously he was also very entangled, but he was always very cautious about this kind of thing! He would rather believe that it is true than that it is not true!
So the young man put off his return visit to Xiaoyuanhai indefinitely, and decided to go to the martial arts contest to recruit a bride first.
…
Located between Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy, there is a small town called Yinchuan City. The terrain here is much gentler than that of Qingyun City, but compared to the fertile and open fields of Xiaohe Town, it is slightly more rugged, although there are no high mountains.
, but there are also ravines and mountains. However, the overall terrain is not high and is more suitable for people to live.
In this small town, there is a very powerful new sect called "Confucianism and Legalism".
It sounds very grand, a bit close to the Confucian sect, but it is not like the naming method of Confucian forces. But for those who really understand this sect, this name is very appropriate, because its founder is named Lin Rufa.
He named him after himself, and we can see his intention. To put it in detail, after the Confucianism and Dharma sect was first established, it immediately attracted the attention of the Qingchuan County Wulin Jianghu. You must know the circulation of various news in the Jianghu.
Very quickly, people's definition of Yinren Town has changed from righteous men fifty years ago to rebellious officials and thieves now. Naturally, there have been many changes, but it is undeniable that the true strength of Yinren Town is already comparable to the strength of the top third-rate sects.
And what position can the newly established "Confucianism and Legalism" maintain among the third-rate sects?
"Master, there is a young Taoist priest who wants to see you, saying that he is an old acquaintance." A man in black robes stood beside a huge pool and looked at the strong man with a body like an iron tower in front of him.
Man, said softly.
Lin Rufa ignored the black-clad steward and continued to hammer the sword blade in his hand. After a while, the dark man turned around and said lightly: "How can he prove that he is an old acquaintance of mine?"
The man in black thought for a moment, then took out a piece of iron the size of a finger from behind, and then said to Lin Rufa: "The little Taoist said, Sir, when you see this...eh?"
The man in black was surprised to find that Lin Rufa, who was forging a sword embryo by the pool a moment ago, had disappeared from the spot.
A few breaths later, this man who looked like a black tower had appeared outside the gate. Looking at the handsome little Taoist priest in front of him, he couldn't recognize him for a while. Although Yi Xifeng looked fair back then, he was far from fair.
This atmosphere now.
Lin Rufa looked at the other party’s eyebrows and whispered: "Cherish the wind? Cherish the wind!"
Yi Xifeng has not seen each other for five years, and naturally misses him very much. Time seems to be ruthless to Lin Rufa, leaving all the vicissitudes and old age on him.
"Uncle Lin, are you okay? I just came back from Zhenwu Dao Hall." Lin Rufa was an elder in his heart, so the young man naturally did not lie, so he gave a general summary of his experience in this field.
“It’s good to come back. How many days can you stay in Qingchuan County this time?”
"I think I can stay for more than ten days. After all, I have a mission when I come out this time. Of course, it doesn't matter if I go back a few days late."
“Well, let’s get down to business, you came to me today not just to see me, right?”
"Hey, Uncle Lin understands me." After saying that, he threw the jade gourd to the other party with a wave of his hand. Lin Rufa was very happy to drink the wine gourd, then uncorked the bottle, tilted his head and drank a few sips.
