The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

It turns out that nearly a hundred years ago, when Liu Tianba, the founding emperor of the Xinghan Empire, shattered the void and ascended, in order to ensure the royal family's right to rule the empire, he also took away four great masters from the Xinghan Empire's court.

After all, there were only three grandmasters in the royal family at that time. If those four grandmasters were allowed to stay, once he left, the rule of the empire would probably be overturned by this grandmaster level master.

As a result, there were only a few master masters left in the Xinghan Empire. After more than ten years, the martial arts sects among the people were almost completely attacked. The masters were all killed, and even the innate warriors were killed. It’s not that common anymore.

At this time, the royal family became wary of the dozen or so grandmaster-level generals in the military who held military power.

It is also sad to say that Liu Tianba, the founding emperor, clearly paved the way for his descendants before ascending to the throne and prepared many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could assist in cultivation. Unfortunately, his descendants were very disappointing. Several years have passed, and still no one has broken through to the realm of Grand Master.

On the contrary, among the generals who hold military power, several are already not far from the realm of Grand Master.

Therefore, in order to prevent it from happening, the royal family of the Xinghan Empire is preparing to take back the military power in the hands of these generals, and at the same time secretly get rid of these generals, so that these guys will never have the chance to break through to the Grand Master realm, and will no longer cause harm to the empire. No threat.

However, the founding generals of the Xinghan Empire were not fools. They quickly saw the royal family's plan, and when the empire planned to take back their military power, they collectively spoke out against it.

However, the royal family was determined and completely ignored the objections of the generals and directly sent the most powerful guards to attack the opposing generals.

At that time, the technological level of the Xinghan Empire had been greatly developed, and various heavy artillery missiles were already available. Once these powerful weapons successfully hit, even the master-level masters would be severely damaged, and it happened that the imperial guards of the royal family of the Xinghan Empire The weapons used by the military are all state-of-the-art.

Therefore, as soon as the battle between the two sides began, the generals suffered heavy losses and many troops were wiped out. In the end, they had no choice but to join forces and rely on their superior strength to launch an increasingly fierce battle with the royal family.

Although this battle did not last long, it almost wiped out all the remaining grandmasters in the Xinghan Empire, leaving only the royal family with a semi-disabled grandmaster who was seriously injured and needed to retreat for years. Master.

Because this battle was a very disgraceful civil war, the officials of the Xinghan Empire deliberately blocked and erased the information about this battle, so that young people like Ye Tianlong and others of later generations had never heard of this incident. thing.

However, the aristocratic families in the Xinghan Empire also remembered this incident clearly, because the royal family's behavior of killing donkeys caused a huge rift between these aristocratic families and the royal family.

Therefore, even if the royal family collects various secrets of martial arts from the people, they will not share them with the wealthy families. Even the various rare medicinal materials grown in their royal medicine garden and the various exotic animals raised in their royal medicine garden will be enjoyed by themselves. Won't share anymore.

Naturally, those aristocratic families began to disobey the royal family's orders, and all of them only thought about poaching corners of the empire. In recent years, they have completely ignored laws such as the ban on military force. As long as those Unless the warriors hiding among the people came to the government offices and loudly announced their identities, the government would not bother to arrest them.

Because of the way the royal family and the aristocratic families guarded against each other, not only the martial arts inheritance among the people began to decline rapidly, but also the official martial arts power began to decline from generation to generation due to lack of communication, even if it could occasionally produce an innate master. That's pretty good. As for the master-level experts, they have never appeared again in these years.

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but feel emotional as he listened to the story of the county magistrate Kong Xianfu. He thought that the decline of martial arts seemed to be God's will. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain this series of coincidences, which led to various changes in the folk and official martial arts inheritance at almost the same time. What a problem!

While the two were talking, the fight between Zhou Jiale, Luo Chenguang and Kong Erhu became more and more fierce. Especially Kong Erhu, as a bodyguard trained by the wealthy Kong family since childhood, had a high self-esteem, but As a result, after fighting for a long time, he still failed to defeat the two folk warriors in front of him. This made him get more and more angry and fight, and gradually began to use some cruel killing moves. Zhou Jiale was accidentally sliced ​​away by the opponent. A piece of shoulder armor on the left shoulder.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong and Kong Xianfu immediately frowned, and Kong Xianfu even opened his mouth to stop the fight.

However, Kong Erhu didn't know whether he was too absorbed in fighting and did not hear what Kong Xianfu said, or whether he clearly heard it but deliberately pretended not to hear it. Anyway, after Kong Xianfu shouted a few times, he still had no intention of stopping. Instead, he held the weapon in his hand. The speed of waving became faster and faster.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong hurriedly grabbed a long gun from the weapons rack on the side, then mounted an old horse and rushed into the battle circle. He hit the gun hard, and the three of them were immediately connected. The weapons were smashed to pieces, and at the same time, he persuaded the three people who were obviously a little angry: "Stop it! It's just a competition, there is no need to fight to the death!"

Facing Ye Tianlong's persuasion, Zhou Jiale and Luo Chenguang immediately stopped and did not continue to attack Kong Erhu.

However, Kong Erhu didn't seem to have had enough of the fight, and he actually waved the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand again and struck Ye Tianlong hard.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong quickly raised the spear in his hand to block. After a loud clang, Ye Tianlong caught the opponent's blow steadily. After all, Ye Tianlong's martial arts qualifications belong to the top class and have a strong foundation, so even if he has a strong cultivation base He is not as skilled as Kong Erhu, but his strength value is even better than that of his opponent.

After catching the opponent's move, Ye Tianlong pushed hard and pushed away the opponent's Fang Tian Hua Ji, then retreated, wanting to end this meaningless battle.

However, Kong Erhu was a little unstoppable, and another halberd swept towards the head of Ye Tianlong's horse.

Seeing the other party's rogue behavior, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but feel a little angry. After all, it was not that he couldn't defeat the other party, but he just didn't want to be acquainted with the other party for the sake of the county magistrate Kong Xianfu.

But since this guy was so shameless, there was no need for him to hold back. Ye Tianlong pushed the spear in his hand to the right, blocking Kong Erhu's sweep, and then strangled the opponent's halberd with the spear. , when the opponent retracts the attack, the gun body always sticks to the halberd body, giving the opponent no chance to distance the weapon again to exert force.

Kong Erhu was extremely depressed by Ye Tianlong's move. He stirred the weapon in his hand vigorously, trying to throw Ye Tianlong's weapon aside. As the two weapons stirred, they were actually constantly competing for their mastery of strength. From time to time, There were just a few sparks flying out due to the hard friction between the two weapons.

Since Kong Erhu had already fought with Zhou Jiale and Luo Chenguang before, which consumed a lot of energy, and his own strength was not as strong as Ye Tianlong, so the two were in a stalemate for a while, Kong Erhu Soon it was at a disadvantage, revealing a flaw. Ye Tianlong made a strong force and shook the gun body. The Fangtian Painted Halberd in Kong Erhu's hand involuntarily swung back, and finally inserted into the ground with a pop. among. Even Kong Erhu himself leaned back violently because he had to resolve this huge force, and almost fell off the horse.

In the end, although he tried hard to clamp the waist of the war horse with his legs and did not fall off the horse's back, he still led the horse to sit down and take several steps back, completely distancing himself from Ye Tianlong.

"Admit it, brother Erhu!" Ye Tianlong had no intention of continuing to pursue and fight. After giving the opponent a lesson, he cupped his fists and saluted, which ended the battle.

Kong Erhu felt that his hands were still numb and trembling, and he suddenly lost the confidence to continue fighting. After all, although the two of them had just fought for a short time, he had already seen that he was indeed not the person in front of him. An ordinary-looking young opponent.

"Lao Luo, Lao Zhou, you should have had enough of the fight! Come with me quickly to see the county magistrate!"

Under the leadership of Ye Tianlong, a group of four people quickly handed over their weapons to the staff on the side, then dismounted and came to Kong Xianfu. They all clasped their fists and bent down to salute: "See you, Lord County Lord!"

"No gifts! No gifts for everyone!"

"Today's young people are really amazing! They all have such great skills at a young age. Now I am even more optimistic about this club! With your strength, you can show it to the guests who come." If you use a few moves, you will be able to suppress people immediately! In addition, I think the policemen and archers in our county can come here to practice and feel the atmosphere of the ancient battlefield, so as not to spend all day long There is nothing to do, and in the end every one of them can’t even lift a knife or a gun!”

Kong Xianfu had very good eyesight, so he could naturally see that Ye Tianlong was stronger than his famous servant Ding Kong Erhu, but the opponent did not pursue Kong Erhu fiercely, he just made the opponent suffer a small loss. , he stopped immediately after deciding the winner, which made him have a better impression of Ye Tianlong, so he also rarely praised Ye Tianlong and others.

Finally, in order to support the entrepreneurship of local young people like Ye Tianlong, Kong Xianfu even proposed to leave a calligraphy treasure as a sign of the club, so as to increase the popularity of Ye Tianlong's club.

Although Ye Tianlong actually didn't open this club to make money, seeing that the county magistrate was so interested, he naturally couldn't spoil the other party's interest and immediately asked the staff to bring the four treasures of the study so that the county magistrate could Have fun splashing with ink.

Not to mention, although the county magistrate's ability to govern the local area is not very good, his handwriting is very beautiful. I saw him grabbing the brush and waving it lightly on the paper a few times, and soon, So he wrote the four Chinese characters of "full of martial virtue". It looked so majestic. If Ye Tianlong hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that this was actually written by a powerless civil servant. of.

So Ye Tianlong hurried to the side and praised it sincerely: "What a good word! The word "County Magistrate" looks majestic, which shows that you must have great ambitions in your mind. It's a pity that you are trapped in this small county, just like a dragon trapped in a shoal. , there is no chance to display your talents!"
