Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 330 The Eve of the Big Wedding
That night, Jagged Changhemen reported what they found out to the chief inspector.

Xu Zhaoyan hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss, and finally made a preliminary decision: invite the two Zen masters Wubei and Wunu, and the two real people Dugu and Qingsong to sit in the town, and a large number of people will be sent by the Gyeonggi Martial Arts Division to join the head of the Mangshan School Wang and the remaining disciples. A detailed search of the Mangshan faction's garrison focused on the cave.

It’s just that before this plan could be implemented, the next morning, rumors spread throughout several inns where the disciples of various sects of Dazhou lived together: “The residence of the Mangshan sect was raided, and all the disciples left behind were killed!”

"Do you know who did it?"

"I heard that they are members of the Tianzun Sect. Back then when the Tianzun Sect was destroyed, the Mangshan Sect took their place as their own. Now that they have returned, killing the people of the Mangshan Sect is not only for revenge, but also to open the underground palace!"

"What underground palace?"

"The underground palace of the Tianzun Sect! Wasn't the Tianzun Sect besieged by various factions because they obtained the "Xuanyuan Treasure"? After the Tianzun Sect was destroyed, the various factions did not obtain the "Xuanyuan Treasure", and even the Tianzun Sect themselves At that time, many people speculated that the lunatic leader taught by Tianzun burned all the secret books in despair... But now it seems that the "Xuanyuan Treasure Book" and other martial arts secret books may be Hidden in the underground palace, the idiots of the Mangshan School have occupied the territory of the Tianzun Sect for so many years, but they have not found it! Now that the disciples of the Tianzun Sect opened it, there is a big and deep hole in the square of the Mangshan School Main Hall ! The martial arts secret books, gold, silver and jewels collected by the Tianzun Sect are probably all in it!"

"What you said is true?!"

"What did I lie to you for? I know why the inspectors let us stay in the inn for a few more days, just because of this incident, they still want to hide it from us, but some smart people discovered this through their suspicious actions Secret, now that this matter has been spread among all the sects, don't you see that the disciples of those sects are packing up and preparing to go! Let's not be stupid, pack up quickly, and go with us!"

"Even if there are martial arts secret books, gold and silver treasures, can we, just a few stragglers with no background and factions, compete with those famous schools? Don't dream about it!"

"Do you know what is... Martial Arts Cheats... There are... those who are virtuous, anyway, now there is a military inspector to control them. No matter how strong the famous sect is, they dare not kill people with swords. Besides, don't the inspectors also have laws? Don't covet and rob other people's martial arts cheats! Let's fish in troubled waters. If we are lucky, we will find one or two martial arts cheats, or even get a page or two of "Xuantian Treasure Book". We will no longer be spectators in the auditorium, but compete with other factions on the field!"

"Fatty Du, what you said makes sense! Let's do it with you, and bet on our luck!"

……

Such a scene kept reappearing in Luoyang City. Whether it was the various factions participating in the martial arts conference or the wandering people who came to watch the competition, they were all agitated by this sudden news, and rushed out of the city to Mangshan.

Although the martial arts conference has ended, due to the incident of the Mangshan faction, the Patrol Division not only did not reduce the patrols in Luoyang City, but also increased its manpower. Therefore, when the rumors spread, the Patrol Division's subordinates immediately sensed something was wrong, and quickly Report this situation to Xu Zhaoyan.

Xu Zhaoyan was shocked, and decisively made three decisions: first, ask people to rush to the gates of each city immediately, notify the city guards, and temporarily prohibit any martial arts people from leaving the city; The inn where he stayed, joined forces with Wubei, Wunu Zen Master and other six national defenders to persuade all martial arts factions not to act rashly for the time being; third, rushed to the palace by himself, and reported the matter to Emperor Taixiang, in order to get his approval and get the opportunity Disposal power to quell this turmoil as soon as possible.

..........................................................................................

The turmoil of the martial arts people in Luoyang City did not affect the Xiaoyao Sect and the Goddess Palace.

Yesterday, the house given to Xue Chang by Emperor Taixiang had been repaired, and the plaque of Huayanghou Mansion was officially hung on the gate.People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to invite Xue Chang to live in him, so that he could adapt to life in the new mansion as soon as possible so that he could marry the eldest princess.

Xue Chang moved in with his disciples on the same day, and Zhou Wanyao and Yan Ranling from the Goddess Palace also moved in at the same time. After their repeated persuasion, Gu Shijing reluctantly brought the disciples from the Goddess Palace to also move in.They wanted to get it back not because the Xiaoyao Sect had lived in the Goddess Palace for too long, but because Xue Chang and his disciples were not only few in number, but also young, so they couldn't afford to live in such a big new house. The marriage is imminent, and in order to avoid any trouble, the family members of the Goddess Palace decided to come together to help.

Zhou Wanyao, who used to be the concubine of the former prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, obtained Xue Chang's consent and temporarily took over the Huayang Hou Mansion as the future mother-in-law. A new house is up and running.

At the same time, under her supervision, Fan Mastiff, Hu Qiudi and others have also become well-behaved, avoiding causing trouble and ridicule for Master on upcoming important occasions.

But Xue Chang had no intention of enjoying the luxury of the new mansion at all, and even the time to practice martial arts was greatly shortened, because the palace sent a maid to teach him a series of etiquettes that should be observed and implemented during the wedding.

And today, it is already July [-]th, only one day before the big wedding. The Ministry of Internal Affairs led the Luan Yi school to carry the dowry of the eldest princess to Huayang Hou Mansion. Xue Chang led his disciples to the door to welcome him. The married woman is also responsible for furnishing and checking the wedding room.

In fact, there is another important procedure on this day—the trial marriage that has been passed down from the previous dynasty.

Generally, the empress dowager or empress selects the shrewd and beautiful maids from among the court ladies to serve as trial marriage maids. The task is to have a trial marriage with the son-in-law on the same bed the day before the big wedding, to test whether the son-in-law has any hidden diseases and how capable he is, etc. After the trial marriage, send someone to report the inspection results to the palace. If there is no abnormality, the wedding will be held as scheduled, otherwise, it will be discussed separately.

However, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had a dispute over this issue.

Liu Lingying thought: As the most outstanding young hero in the Wulin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is impossible for Xue Chang to have physical problems.

But Empress Dowager Jiang insisted: rules are rules, and they cannot vary from person to person, not to mention that people in martial arts are also people, so there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in that regard, after all, it is related to the happiness of the eldest princess in her life.

Empress Dowager Jiang, who is usually a bit afraid of the emperor and the concubine, rarely confronts her. As the eldest princess's aunt, she does have the right to appoint court ladies for trial marriages, and the court ladies after trial marriages are usually kept as sons-in-law after the princess's wedding. A few of them are reserved for the princess's maids.

The reason why Empress Dowager Jiang persisted was not because she had any bad intentions, but because after being reminded by her father, she wanted to use the opportunity of a trial marriage to let her confidant maid take up the role, so as to win over this newly promoted martial artist for a long time. Lord Hou's purpose.

The empress dowager understood what the other party was thinking, so she resolutely opposed it.

The two couldn't stop arguing, and finally made trouble to Emperor Taixiang.

The reason why Emperor Taixiang held a big wedding for the eldest princess in such a haste was mainly to win over Xue Chang, who had a bright future. Decision: Although trial marriage is a royal practice, since the previous dynasty, there has never been a son-in-law who is a martial artist. Since the Great Zhou has set a precedent, the procedure of the big marriage will naturally have to be changed. You can first send someone to consult Huayanghou. Opinion, whether a trial marriage is required first.

This decision is actually a bit absurd, but the empress dowager agrees, and the empress dowager Jiang has no objection, but proposes that the person who consults Xue Chang must be appointed by himself.

The person Empress Dowager Jiang sent to the Huayang Hou Mansion was the confidant maid she wanted to send to the eldest princess for a trial marriage——Jiang Zhiyan.

This girl is a distant relative of Empress Dowager Jiang. She entered the palace when she was drafting a girl. Originally, Empress Dowager Jiang wanted her to be the empress or concubine of Emperor Taixiang, but it was a pity that Emperor Taizu was still in power at that time, and personally appointed empress and concubine for Emperor Taixiang. Emperor Taixiang had always had a very close relationship with the two of them, empress dowager Jiang recommended her maid several times to Emperor Taixiang, but Emperor Taixiang never had any thoughts about her.Seeing that Jiang Zhiyan was getting older and there was no hope of becoming the emperor's concubine, Empress Dowager Jiang wanted her to be the eldest princess's trial marriage maid. Although she had her own selfish intentions, she also wanted to take care of her in the palace.

Jiang Zhiyan, as a beautiful girl trained by the Jiang family to compete for concubines, has first-class appearance, figure, temperament, and self-cultivation. Although she is not as beautiful as Luo Lanmeng's Zhongling, she has her own mature and charming charm. Empress Dowager Jiang thinks that Xue Chang He is full of vigor and vitality, so he will definitely be attracted by it.

Before going to the Huayang Hou's Mansion, Jiang Zhiyan dressed up carefully and went out in costumes. It was a violation of the rules, but she was a confidant of the Empress Dowager Jiang, so no one dared to criticize her at this time.

However, when Jiang Zhiyan appeared in front of Xue Chang, Xue Chang didn't feel surprised. The reason was very simple. In terms of appearance, she couldn't compare to Luo Lanmeng, and in terms of charm, Gu Shijing from the mansion was even better.

Xue Chang was a little surprised by the trial marriage mentioned by Jiang Zhiyan, and then politely refused, even if Jiang Zhiyan vaguely mentioned that the trial marriage would be himself, Xue Chang remained indifferent.

Jiang Zhiyan returned disappointed.

But her arrival made Xue Chang suddenly realize: tomorrow, he will no longer live alone in this strange world, and there will be someone who will accompany him to share weal and woe and grow old together.

That night, he stopped practicing early on a rare occasion, but lying on the bed, his thoughts were agitated and it was difficult to fall asleep for a while.I don't know how long it took to toss and turn before finally sinking into a dream...
