Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 306 The Truth (continued)

Xu Zhen saw it in his eyes and knew it, and then said: "Tang Sect is also under control. After all, the strange poison it produces is famous all over the world. If it is distributed to the people at will, it will cause great harm... But these sects refuse to accept it. Accept the control of the Patrol Division, because this has shaken their foundation. Even if the court makes corresponding compensations, these compensations will take a long time to take effect, and the restrictive measures will make their strength significantly decline in a short period of time. When this measure was difficult to implement in the martial arts, a sect stood up and publicly announced that it was willing to accept the supervision of the patrol division, do you know who this sect is?"

"Tang Sect!" Xue Chang said in a solemn voice.

"That's right, it's the Tang Sect!" Xu Zhen showed admiration on his face: "The Tang Sect dominates the martial arts world with its hidden weapons and poisons. Restricting its use of poison will undoubtedly abolish half of the Tang Sect. Mrs. Qiu Although she is a woman, she has repeatedly set an example for the various factions of the Great Zhou Wulin at critical moments. Her courage, vision, and wisdom have shamed many men. However, because of this, she was opposed by the elders of the Tang Sect again, and her position as the head of the family was threatened.

If a patriarch of the Tang sect who is dedicated to the country is kicked out of power by the Tang family, what will this do to the court, and what will other sects think!Therefore, the late emperor once asked the commander of the military inspection department in Chengdu to rush to the Tang Sect with his handbook to publicly express his support for Mrs. Qiu. This has actually violated the agreement reached between the late emperor and the various factions of the Great Zhou Wulin, and the elders of the Tang Sect naturally gave in. up.

But this is only temporary. If the fundamental problem is not resolved, there will be disputes in the future.But it seems that Mrs. Qiu has found another way. Since the use of poison is restricted, she should strengthen her own martial arts practice. That's why the things you mentioned happened. turmoil. "

Xu Zhen sighed: "The military inspectors have known about this for a long time, but they have been ignoring it all the time. I think it may be because they owe the Tang Sect a favor, and seeing that the Tang Sect didn't go too far, so they just turned a blind eye. I just closed my eyes. And even if the Martial Inspection Division of Chengdu wanted to punish the Tang Sect, with the support of the late emperor for the Tang Sect, he would never allow it!"

Xue Chang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, you just said that the Tang Sect has always targeted the wandering people who refused to join the dynasty, and tried their best not to hurt their lives. I am willing to believe it. But During the Ping-Qiang War, Tang Sect disciple Tang Tianshu conspired against me, imprisoned me in a cave, frequently used torture to force me to reveal the secrets of martial arts, and almost killed him! How can I say this?!"

"I also saw this matter from the secret file." Xu Zhen obviously came prepared, and he said with a serious expression: "Chengdu Commander Jiang Shijia immediately launched an investigation on the Tang Sect after he knew about it. She even interrogated Mrs. Qiu... I read the interrogation records. Mrs. Qiu claimed not to know about this matter. She said that it is very likely that disciples of the Tang Sect have been used to this practice over the years, so Tang Tianshu saw you gaining martial arts in a short period of time. Dajin, you happen to be an unknown, unaffiliated martial arts junior, and it coincides with the war, and you belong to the same team as him, so Tang Tianshu became greedy. He didn't report the matter to the other elders of the Tang Sect, so he wanted to do it alone. .”

"Master Xu believes what Mrs. Qiu said?" Xue Chang's voice was slightly cold.

Xu Zhen said calmly: "It's not a question of whether I believe it or not, but that there is no evidence that Mrs. Qiu or other elders of the Tang Sect instigated it. Tang Tianshu died at your hands without leaving any evidence.

Commander Jiang Shijia even interrogated Feng Youshen. Feng Yousen said that Tang Tianshu took the initiative to find him and asked him to be assigned to your investigation team. Feng Yousen agreed because Tang Tianshu was familiar with his son Feng Yanhao, and there were no other members of the Tang Sect. Greeted him.

Another point is also very important.Over the years, apart from what happened to you, the Tang Sect has never done anything to other martial artists registered with the Martial Soldiers, so the Martial Soldiers can only believe that it was Tang Tianshu's personal actions.However, the poisoning incident at the Iron Sword Villa and what you have encountered have aroused great dissatisfaction with the emperor, and he ordered severe punishment for Tangmen. I believe you already know the result. "

"Yeah, it's quite strict." Xue Chang's words were slightly joking.

"Master Xue." Xu Zhen said seriously: "You and I have only known each other for a day or two, but some words are stuck in my throat, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Xue Chang sensed something from the other party's serious expression, and became serious: "Please tell me."

"The things I said just now are the secrets of the Dragon Guards and the Martial Inspection Division. I risked telling you so much, on the one hand because of the empress dowager, on the other hand because of the promise I made, and more importantly, because of you!"

"I?"

"Headmaster Xue, you are about to become the country's protector of the Great Zhou, you will be granted the title of Marquis, and you will marry the princess of the Kingdom of Wei, and become the consort of the dynasty... You are no longer an ordinary Jianghu person, you have become a pivotal figure in the Great Zhou's martial arts world. In the eyes of others, your every move will no longer represent you alone. You not only represent the Xiaoyao faction, you may also represent the Great Zhou Wulin, and the emperor. Think from a higher height.

Take the matter of the Tang Sect as an example, if you insist on seeking revenge from the Tang Sect, and eventually stir up a war between the two factions, the inspector will not know how to deal with it, and the emperor will find it difficult to deal with it.At that time, the Bashu martial arts will fall into chaos, and all the factions in the Great Zhou will be in panic. There will probably be rumors, such as "the imperial court first sent the Xiaoyao faction to liquidate the Tang sect, and then it will be the turn of other sects...".But at the beginning of this year, the emperor just issued a new edict. Do you think the martial arts people believe it or not?
At that time, people in the Wulin of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be panic-stricken. Some sects will flee to Beiyan, and even if some remain, they will have dissatisfaction with the court. When the army of Beiyan invades south again, the court may no longer be able to organize a Wulin. army……"

Xue Chang blinked, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Master Xu, this is just my sect's personal revenge, but you said it seems to be related to the life and death of the country, isn't it so serious?"

"It's not so serious?" Xu Zhen sneered and reminded: "The martial arts conference is held, and the capital is heavily guarded. The Beiyan army has been conquests on the grasslands, and this year it has sent troops to the border of the three Koreas... For more than 20 years, the garrison in northern Xinjiang has never been so tense as it is today! Our army is not stronger than Beiyan in terms of combat power, but it is stronger Wulin, if the Wulin is in turmoil, the advantage will not exist, so don't be careless!"

Hearing these words, Xue Chang remembered the kidnapping of Wudang Daoist Qingfeng Daoist on his way to the capital, and he was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "So there is no way to avenge the enmity between me and my apprentice. gone?"

Hearing that his tone softened slightly, Xu Zhen quickly said again: "Master Xue, your status is very important now, if you do it yourself, it will only arouse people's imagination, Tang Tianshu has already died in your hands, you can be regarded as revenge, so you don't have to Let's dig deeper...

But your apprentice can still appeal to the Chengdu Martial Officer, and use the rules of the rivers and lakes to fight a life-and-death duel with that disciple of the Tang Sect.If he wanted to seek revenge from Mrs. Qiu, he might not be able to do so. At most, he could only humiliate the other party through a fight, and it would depend on whether Mrs. Qiu agreed.If he wants to return the ancestral secret book, he can discuss it privately, but it cannot be made public.

But there is one thing that I have to confess to you, head Xue. Before that, the military inspector did not know that your apprentice Xu Xi was the son of Xu Hao. His identity information was marked as an orphan, which was copied from the sect you first established before. The information submitted to the Patrol Division at that time—"

"I didn't know it before, but Xu Xi mentioned it to me when he saw Tang Sect disciples performing martial arts similar to his ancestral moves." Xue Chang explained.

Xu Zhen said solemnly: "I know it's not your fault, I've already informed the chief patrol officer about it, your apprentice Xu Xi is Xu Hao's son, and he also knew the truth about his father's death, then Will he resent the Martial Officer because of this in the future? Even the court? This is what the Martial Officer is most concerned about."

"I can assure you that my apprentice Xu Xi will never do anything that endangers the Great Zhou Wulin and the imperial court!" Xue Chang made a promise without hesitation in order to protect his apprentice.

Xu Zhen reminded again: "Of course the inspectors hope so, but they will always keep paying attention to your apprentice. And because of your apprentice's background, it is best for him to make some contributions to the court before he proposes to the inspectors. The above request will be easier to get the support of the Patrol Division."

Xue Chang was silent for a moment, then responded: "I understand, I will seriously consider this matter... By the way, Master Xu, will Bei Yan really start a war against me, Da Zhou?"

Xu Zhen considered his words for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "From the current indications, the Lord of Beiyan, who is in charge of the government, is an ambitious person. Beiyan has indeed continued to expand the army and fight in the past two years. After all, it is a powerful country. Once the two countries go to war, the implications will be huge. It is not so easy to think about it. But no matter what, you must be prepared and let your apprentices practice martial arts well. Maybe they will be sent to the battlefield at any time .”

"Thank you Master Xu for your heartfelt words, Xue Chang will always remember this kindness in my heart!" Xue Chang expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Master Xu must be very tired after a busy day, so come with me to the courtyard for a light meal and a rest .”

Xu Zhen politely declined: "No, I still have important things to do tonight, so I won't stay any longer. I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift. I will definitely give it to Master Xue on your wedding day!"

Xue Chang hurriedly said: "At that time, I will definitely invite Mr. Xu to have a wedding wine, but the congratulatory gift will be waived. The things Mr. Xu told me are a hundred times more precious than the congratulatory gift."
