Tang Fangzhuo, who was staring at the two of them with strange eyes, said seriously: "It was when I was ordered to invite Geng Chuzi out of the mountain in Longmen Town, and I accidentally slapped him... On the day the leader of Jiangling Sect was forbidden, I had already drunk and resolved the misunderstanding."

Luo Dachui joked: "Maybe in the future, you can use Xue Chang to be a boast and talk to the disciples in the sect."

"It's better to say that Xiaoyi has a good vision. I heard that when he first went to see Xiaozi Xue, he found that he had great martial arts talent. When he came back, he asked us to include him in the sect. Unfortunately, we did not accept his opinion." Zhou Qiao said with some complaints.

"Old beggar, you're a bit biased. Last time we went to the Xue Mansion to attend a banquet, you didn't fail to see the sect leader sending an official invitation to Xue Chang, but they just didn't want to. They are very ambitious and want to create their own sect as the head of the sect. What can you do?" Luo Dachui reminded.

"Oh, is it? Why don't I remember this?" Zhou Qiao pretended to be rude and refused to admit it. He simply changed the topic and asked Ye San: "I saw Xiao Yi go out mysteriously several times these days, and he only came back half a night. Do you know what he did?"

"I don't know." Since Zhou Qiao was injured, Ye San's attitude towards her has been much gentler than before, but he seemed a little stiff when he said this.

"You are a master, so don't care about your disciples." Zhou Qiao complained and guessed: "Can he have a new look, right? That's fine, I don't like that Liu Yining. If we change to a new one this time, we have to take a good look and keep a close eye on him first."

Her words were agreed by Luo Dachui and Tang Fangzhuo.

Ye San ignored Zhou Qiao and the others' chat. He looked at Ziqiong Ye standing in front of him with worry. Since the news of "Xue Chang will marry the eldest princess" came to the iron-blooded Changhemen, he felt that Ziqiong Ye, who had always been cheerful, had some changes. He stood quietly like now, and from time to time he turned his attention to the center of the crowd gathering.

Ye San, who is 80 years old, has poor emotional experience, but even so he can feel that Ye Ziqiong is a little concerned about Xue Chang. Ye San, who treats Ye Ziqiong like his own granddaughter, does not want her to be as lonely as mentioned in her oath.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to implement it quickly!... He reminded himself in his heart.

On the other side of the square, Yang Xiuling, a disciple of the Emei Sect, was also standing quietly, staring at the crowds of people.

Jin Shuirong suddenly approached her and stared at her for a while.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?!" Yang Xiuling's pretty face suddenly turned red as if she had been discovered by someone.

"I see if you cry?" Jin Shuirong said seriously.

"How could I have-" Yang Xiuling just said halfway, but her eyes suddenly turned red, and she actually cried out "woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

"Shuirong, you are bullying Xiuling again!" Master Jingyu's stern voice came.

"Master, I didn't-" Jin Shuirong wanted to refute, but saw Yang Xiuling crying with the pear blossoms, so she quickly apologized: "Junior sister, I'm so sorry, it's my fault!"

"Senior sister... I don't blame you... I just feel a little uncomfortable." Yang Xiuling said choked.

Master Jingyu came over, put his beloved disciple into his arms, gently stroked her back, and said in a gentle tone: "The word "love" is the most bitter. You and Donor Xue have never met several times. It is no longer a long time to say that he is missing. It is just a vague love, just like a dream. When it dawns, the dream will naturally wake up. You feel heartache. This is a good thing, which means that your heart has let go. Everything is about fate. Disciple, since your fate is not on Donor Xue, then there is no need to force it. One day, the fate that belongs to you will naturally come..."

Yang Xiuling nodded thoughtfully.

...

As Emperor Taixiang appeared on the city tower, the square became much quieter, and disciples of various sects quickly returned to the area designated by the Dragon Guard to stand. This was the result of the military training of various martial arts sects organized by the Martial Arts Department over the years.

Emperor Taixiang saw that the martial arts factions were arranged neatly in the square, and he felt satisfied: the imperial court's control over the martial arts world can be seen from this alone.

Then, Cao Zhong, the commander of Longwei, came to read out Emperor Taixiang's will. After simply praising the performance of various martial arts sects in this martial arts conference, the focus was on rewarding the top ten sects and the top ten martial arts people.

For sects, the rewards given are mainly to increase the number of disciples, expand the area of ​​land grants, and give a certain amount of material resources (such as some precious herb seeds, rare ores, etc.). For individuals, there are also to increase the number of disciples, increase their own court salary, and increase their official rank (for this reason, Emperor Taixiang established the position of the Martial Guard and the fourth-rank military position, which is the same as the commander level of the local military commander. Although he has a position but no authority, he can undoubtedly receive more courtesy and help from the governments in various places), and grant valuable weapons...

Previous Dharma Assembly also had similar rewards, but the strength was not as strong as the Martial Arts Conference. But the difference was the punishment for the sects that were ranked last dozens of times later: reducing the amount of disciples of the sect and reducing the area of ​​land donated, and paying a certain amount of taxes...

For individuals ranked last dozens, the punishment for them is to increase the amount of land, the number of disciples, and the taxes are still increased...

When the content of these punishments was announced, a commotion occurred in the square.

Seeing this, Emperor Taixiang stood up and held the battlement.

"Silent!" Cao Zhong sank into his dantian and shouted, suppressing the noise that was about to rise.

Emperor Taixiang looked down at the city and spoke with a serious expression: "In recent years, considering that the martial arts sects have experienced wars and decline, the court has given great support, which has allowed our Great Zhou martial arts to resurrect prosperity. However, the result of blind support and indulgence has also produced some accumulated problems. Some sects enjoy the benefits given by the court, but passively cooperate with the military inspectors and military officials to do things. They have even forgotten their own duties. If they are not enterprising in martial arts, they will almost transform from a martial arts sect to a state-in-law specializing in farming, and a business group organization. What's the use of I still maintain such a sect!"

Emperor Taixiang's last heavy rebuke shocked everyone in the audience.

"I have mentioned it in the night banquet before the Martial Arts Conference. Today I will remind you again!" Emperor Taixiang emphasized his tone and said loudly: "Eat the salary of the court, you should do things for the court. I have always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. From now on, the Great Zhou Wulin is no exception. Actively work for the court. Sects who perform well in the martial arts conference will be rewarded! Sects who do not want to work for the court and perform poorly in the martial arts conference will be punished! Since this is the first time that the martial arts conference is held, in order to adapt to all sects, participants are traditional sects. By the next session, all sects of the Great Zhou can participate--"

As soon as these words were said, there was another uproar on the field, but it quickly became quiet again. There was no noise in the square. It was not because they were too afraid of the imperial power, but because they realized that what Emperor Taixiang said was very important and afraid of missing it. Although most martial artists are very clear-headed, Emperor Taixiang is an ordinary person after all, and he must concentrate on hearing clearly on such an empty plain.

"I have discussed with the Dragon Guard and the Military Affairs Office, and held a Great Zhou Wulin Conference in Kyoto for three years. In the year before the Kyoto Martial Arts Conference, the Military Affairs Office of various places will hold a regional martial arts conference, and all sects in the region can participate. When the conference is over, the Military Affairs Office of the General Military Affairs Office will invite the top sects in each region to participate in the meeting quota of the sects of the Martial Arts Conference.

But this quota is not static. After the next Kyoto Martial Arts Conference, all regions will also be ranked. The top two regions will increase the quota, and the bottom two regions will decrease the quota. Some regions have weak overall strength, but if they make significant progress compared to this time, the quota will also increase. Some regions have strong overall strength but fail to maintain their advantage, the quota will be reduced...

After the next martial arts conference, I also decided to allow excellent sects and individuals to enter Shenwu Pavilion to read some of the books—”

The square suddenly caused a greater commotion. For martial arts people, land and resources are the need to practice martial arts, and they are indispensable. Salary and official positions represent the improvement of their social status and represent the stability and safety of life. However, martial arts secrets are what most martial arts people desire the most.

Shenwu Pavilion is the largest martial arts treasure house in the world. It not only collects Taoism and Buddhist scriptures from all dynasties, but also thousands of martial arts secret books. It is obtained by the Royal Family of Great Zhou for decades to search for it from all over the world. It is said that Ye Wenbo read all the martial arts books collected by the royal family, which made him the number one in the world. He also taught many iron-blooded Changhemen disciples with powerful force, and his martial arts are different... So even if he is as indifferent as Yang Tongping, he was a little moved after hearing this, let alone other people.

Emperor Taixiang was very satisfied with the enthusiastic reaction of the martial arts people on the field. He stopped Cao Zhong's urge to calm everyone down immediately.

But what Emperor Taixiang didn't know was that among the excited crowd, only Xue Chang did not respond to this, because there was a martial arts treasure house in his system that was no less than that of the Shenwu Pavilion. In theory, as long as he had enough prestige, he could see all the martial arts in the system, so there was no need to covet Shenwu Pavilion. You must know that it would not be bad if you ate too much.

Emperor Taixiang waited for a while before he said excitedly again: "At the beginning of the year, I issued a new edict to the Great Zhou Wulin, and now I have held a martial arts conference... The Great Zhou Wulin has never changed such a big change in the past few decades. But I want you to know that all of what I have done is to make the Great Zhou Wulin more prosperous and make the martial arts sects stronger, because only if you are stronger, the safety of my Great Zhou can be more secure!

More than 30 years ago, Duke Huguo led a group of heroes from the Iron Blood Changhemen to make great achievements in the establishment of this dynasty! In the future, whether our Great Zhou can stand tall in the Central Plains for a long time and look down on the four barbarians will depend on your efforts!”
