After Emperor Taixiang said this, Xue Chang began to realize how much change the marriage with Luo Lanmeng would have to his future life. He was silent for a moment and said, "Xiaomin understands that Xiaomin will try to go out as little as possible before the wedding... Emperor, Xiaomin has a request, and I hope the emperor can allow it!"

"Tell me."

"After Xiaomin got married to the princess, I hope to return to the Xiaoyao Sect's resident in Bashu!"

Emperor Taixiang was surprised and his face also darkened: "Do you know that the eldest princess of Wei is my only sister. I finally got together with her, so you want me to stay away from her again?"

As soon as Emperor Taixiang showed displeasure, Xue Chang suddenly felt pressure from the body. Fortunately, he was no longer the new generation who had just come to this world. He was brave and bold, and he begged again with his unchanged expression: "Emperor, Xiaomin is the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. He has a certain foundation in Chengdu Prefecture. After returning to Bashu, it will be more conducive to the further development of the Xiaoyao Sect, so that he can cultivate more disciples with better martial arts and serve the court faster!"

"Isn't it possible to be in the capital?" Emperor Taixiang asked unhappily.

Xue Chang said earnestly: "Xiaomin has no foundation in the martial arts world in the capital. It takes time to move the sect to the capital and gain a foothold. Moreover, the emperor said just now that the capital is prosperous and the relationship is too frequent, which is really not conducive to Xiaomin and his disciples' concentration in practicing martial arts.

Xiaomin heard that the situation in northern Xinjiang was different from the past, and there may be wars in the future. Xiaomin hopes to help his disciples improve their strength as soon as possible. Once the court needs all martial arts sects to join the war, Xiaoyao Sect's disciples can kill the enemy and make contributions. This is also Xiao Ming's selfishness. I hope the emperor can fulfill it!"

I just heard Xu Zhen talk about the Beiyan incident last night. Xue Chang used it today. He did have this idea, but it was not to make the disciples make contributions, but to save their lives.

Emperor Taixiang was a little surprised when he heard what he said, his brows were slightly relaxed and he said, "You are so mean. I have to think about this matter. You can go down first."

Looking at Xue Chang's back as he left, Emperor Taixiang asked thoughtfully: "Old Cao, this Xue Chang wants to bring the eldest princess back to Bashu after the wedding. What do you think?"

"This is the emperor's family matter, and the old minister dare not argue." Cao Zhong answered without hesitation.

"Since he talked about the development of the sect and the contribution of the country, it was not just my family affairs." Emperor Taixiang said seriously: "You should be clearer about the affairs of the martial arts world. Is it not conducive to the development of the sect in the capital as he said?"

Cao Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the sects in the capital now include the Li family in Luozhong, the Embroidery Building, the Central Plains Escort Agency, and a branch of the Yellow River Water Gang. The Li family in Luozhong, which was highly anticipated in this martial arts conference, performed disappointingly, both personal competitions and sect competitions. The same is true for the Central Plains Escort Agency. No gang member in the Luoyang branch of the Yellow River Water Gang was selected for individual competitions or sect competitions. Only the Embroidery Building performed better, but it was only ranked in the middle.

In fact, not only these sects in the city, but other sects around Luoyang have not performed well in the martial arts conference so far. Practicing martial arts is like learning literature, and it requires full dedication, so some famous sects like to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and hide in the deep mountains..."

Although Cao Zhong did not say it clearly, Emperor Taixiang had already understood it. He said with a serious expression: "Too comfortable can easily make people lose their enterprising spirit. This is why I have to issue a new edict to convene a martial arts conference!"——"

He suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Which Xiaoyao Sect is ranked in the group now?"

Cao Zhong thought for a while and replied: "They have defeated Funiuzhai and Qiujia Gang. Today they should play against their last opponent, the Poyang Water Gang. With the strength they showed before, they should be able to win, and they will probably rank third from the bottom in the group in the end."

Emperor Taixiang sighed a little: "I remember Mr. Cao, you said that the disciples Xue Chang accepted were not good at martial arts two years ago, but after just two years, these underage children were able to defeat those martial arts people who had been practicing martial arts for more than ten years and decades, allowing a new sect that had only established a sect for less than two years to overwhelm the gang that had been in a decades-old history, ranking third from the bottom! Although these gangs are unprofitable, it also shows that Xue Chang is very good at teaching his apprentices!"

"Yes, the emperor."

Emperor Taixiang remembered something again, changed his subject and asked, "By the way, how is the overall performance of the Bashu martial arts in this martial arts conference?"

"If the iron-blooded Changhemen who has newly joined the Jinghu martial arts world is excluded, the Bashu martial arts world should be the best performing among all regions."

"A strongest Bashu martial arts world has just emerged from the biggest rebellion of this dynasty in the past twenty years!" Emperor Taixiang sighed meaningfully and said in a deep thought: "It is a good idea to let my brother-in-law return to Bashu to watch these sects and protect the Longxing land of my Great Zhou... However, it cannot be too cheap for this kid..."

Early the next morning, nine members of the Northern Yan delegation rode on horseback, left the Siyi Pavilion, and left the city gate, and found that there were many people gathered by the city gate, talking about something.

Seeing Dongfang Xiong and the others wearing Yan State costumes, some people even shouted sarcastically: "Hey, people from Beiyan, when you come to our Great Zhou, you must be more regular, otherwise you will go to see the King of Hell like the spies above!"

Dongfang Xiong turned his head and looked back, and his face changed slightly: four human heads were hanging on the head of the city, and blood was dripping down. It was obvious that it had just been beheaded.

"Sir, one of them is the scavenger who met me in the Siyi Pavilion. No wonder I didn't see him last night. It turned out..." The young man said in a low voice with some resentment. He had good martial arts skills, had clear ears and eyes, and could see the head on the city tower clearly.

Dongfang Xiong's face was gloomy. Of course, he knew in his heart that the Great Zhou killed the people lurking in Luoyang in Yan at this time, and was undoubtedly demonstrating to him.

"Snatch them off and take them back!" Dongfang Xiong whispered, with anger in his tone.

The young man looked around and whispered: "Sir, look at the soldiers on the top of the city. They should have martial arts skills, and they are probably played by Long Wei. The people of Zhou were prepared for this. This is a trap specially set against us!"

"So what!" Dongfang Xiong sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the nine-person delegation, wearing civil servant costumes, rushed to Dongfang Xiong and said in a deep voice: "General Dongfang, don't make trouble. We should leave Zhou State quickly and return to Nanjing!"

"Mr. Wang, I am the master!" Dongfang Xiong said coldly.

The man named Wang responded unwillingly: "Then you have done it well, but I want to remind you that the emperor asked you to come to Luoyang to let you understand the reality of the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to cause conflicts between the two countries at this time. If things get bigger and Zhou State launches a military force to punish you, it may be difficult for the emperor to save you!"

Lord Wang's words made Dongfang Xiong's face suddenly change. In an instant, he remembered his unjustly death father, and his anger surged, but he finally suppressed it. He glanced at Lord Wang fiercely and said, "Let's go!" After that, he rode his horse forward.

Lord Wang was so nervous that his sharp eyes were stabbed. After a while, he recovered. However, he saw that the others had already run far away. He couldn't help but feel very angry: Isn't it just a lowly martial arts man? What's the priest! My decent Southern Court Secretary is the deputy envoy and made a special trip to Luoyang. He was treated like this! The surname Dongfang, wait and see, you have used the people lurking in Luoyang without authorization, which has led to the efforts of the Secret Spies Department in Luoyang for many years. I will definitely study your book. Even if the emperor does not punish you, Lord Tuoba will not let you have a good time!"

Of course, Dongfang Xiong would not know that Deputy Envoy Wang was planning how to impeach him. He rode his horse and rushed to the side of the Luo River. Looking at the pier not far away, there was still anger in his heart: "Wei Geng!"

"Sir." The young man rushed over.

"I originally thought that I would only cause some minor trouble for the people of Zhou when they held the martial arts conference, but since they were so ruthless, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!" Dongfang Xiong said in a fierce voice, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "I inform Tie Zhouping and the others as soon as possible to make things bigger for me, so that the young emperor of Zhou knew that he had provoked me, Dongfang Xiong, would have to pay a price!"

"Yes, sir!"

Just when the Northern Yan delegation left Luoyang, Xue Chang, led by Zongzheng Temple, entered the Hongwu Palace and stood solemnly outside the main hall gate. Some officials in the hall had already cast curious eyes on him.

At this time, the eunuch under the throne launched an imperial edict and read loudly: "Now, the eldest princess of Wei is appointed with the new national protection warrior Xue Chang, Qin this!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and many officials were surprised: The eldest princess of Wei State is the only close relative of the emperor today. Since returning to the palace last year, he has been favored by the emperor. It is said that many princes and ministers have proposed to the royal family, but they were all rejected. Unexpectedly, they married one... a martial artsman! Xue Chang, who is it?! A warrior who protects the country is Wuzhu, and Zen Master Wunu and other six people? When is there another one?!...

Only the left prime minister He Shuheng and the right prime minister Lin Zonghong and a few officials who had already learned the news in advance through special channels seemed relatively calm.

After all, the princess' marriage is a royal family business. Since the imperial edict is announced, it means that it has been unanimously recognized within the royal family. Even if the officials have any objections, they cannot object. They can only turn their attention to the people standing outside the hall.

These eyes no longer contain only curiosity, envy, jealousy, disdain, contempt... and so on.
