Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 19 Yunshan School

What is arena?

Some people say that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

But in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jianghu refers more to the world of warriors and chivalrous men.

In this land, there have been many heroes since ancient times. With their martial arts, they either eradicate violence and bring peace to the poor, or rob the rich and help the poor.

Of course, there are also people who rely on martial arts to bully good people and take advantage of others.

Later, some martial arts masters established sects, and some knight-errants also formed cliques, and the Jianghu gradually grew stronger.

Eighty years ago, the entire Jianghu was extremely powerful, and some great sects had more than 80 disciples.

For example, one of the largest gangs at that time, the Beggars' Gang, had hundreds of altars all over the country, with a total of several 10 disciples.

Such a huge scale is enough to make the rulers of the Great Zhou Dynasty feel uneasy.

So after the crown prince was assassinated, Emperor Qingzong immediately issued an edict to destroy Wu. If he said that he didn't intend to use this to suppress Jianghu, I'm afraid it wouldn't be justified.

It's just that Emperor Qingzong didn't expect that the Jianghu people were not so weak, and they rose up to resist in the face of the army.

At that time, more than ten senior members of Chao Neiguang's first rank were assassinated, and there were countless others of second and third ranks... This even caused many people to dare not be officials at that time, for fear that they would be assassinated by people in the Jianghu tomorrow if they put on the official hat today.

In contrast, the major Jianghu sects also suffered heavy losses, with countless deaths and injuries among the congenital and acquired masters, and many people who were strong at the master level also fell.

With both sides hurt, the two sides had to shake hands and negotiate peace.

Decades have passed, and up to now, Emperor Qingzong has long since died of illness, and the leader of the rivers and lakes, Master Wan Yun, has not shown up for many years, so it is unknown whether he is still alive.

Although there have been no disputes between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court for many years, they are no longer as harmonious as they used to be.

……

……

Down Gourd Mountain.

In the meeting hall of the Yunshan faction, the head and several elders all gathered here, with gloomy expressions.

Under the hall, Zhu Xu knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"The three senior brothers were all arrested by Su Yuan, and their lives and deaths are unknown now... I beg the sect master and elders to use their means to rescue them!"

"..."

After Zhu Xu finished explaining the reason, the head Liu Yunfeng looked to the left.

Layman Xuanzhu, the master of Zhu Xu and others, was sitting there.

"Xuanzhu, what do you say?"

Layman Xuanzhu looked at Zhu Xu with hatred in his eyes, but more regret.

In any case, those children were his apprentices from childhood to adulthood, so it was really hard to let go of them like this.

But if you manage...

Layman Xuanzhu let out a long sigh, stood up and bowed his hands to the head Liu Yunfeng and other elders.

"This matter is all due to the lax discipline of the old man, which caused trouble for the mountain gate. The old man is ashamed of the head of the sect and the elders."

"Master, it has nothing to do with you, it's because we are too reckless..." Zhu Xu said quickly.

"Evil, don't shut up yet!" Layman Xuanzhu glared at him.

He actually knew about it the second night after Chen Zilei and his party left.

But even so, it was too late for him to catch up, so he could only wait on the mountain.

The result he expected was that the assassination failed and several people returned without success.

It's not that the assassination failed, and several people were killed or injured... It's not good to have a successful assassination, as it would cause a series of changes.

It's not that Layman Xuanzhu has no feelings for Su Cheng, but when he was teaching Su Cheng Kung Fu, he saw that Su Cheng's intentions were not right, and sooner or later he would be doomed.

It's just that he didn't expect that several of his other apprentices would also be involved in this disaster...

Liu Yunfeng said: "The matter has come to this, then Su Yuan may not let it go. I have to make preparations early."

"Hmph!" A bald man on his right snorted coldly, clenched his big fan-like palm into a fist, and swung it a few times to make a "bang bang" sound, which seemed to explode the air.

"We Yunshan faction are afraid of a brat! If you want me to say, go directly to Beifeng City, pull that Su Yuan out of the tortoise shell of that palace, and let him taste the fist of the uncle!"

Liu Yunfeng frowned when he heard the words: "Elder Zhenlong, don't be so impulsive, this matter is not yet a matter of life and death, there is still room for change."

"What room for maneuver?" The bald man named Zhenlong stared wide-eyed, "Do you want us from Yunshan to bow our heads and admit our mistakes to that kid?!"

Liu Yunfeng said: "If this can avoid a dispute, it's worth it."

"Master! What are you talking about!"

Not only Zhenlong, but other elders also objected.

At this time, Layman Xuanzhu said: "This old man plans to go to Beifeng City by himself."

"Okay!" Zhenlong gave him a thumbs up, "Xuanzhu, aren't you born with triple birth? It's not easy to take that kid's life!"

Layman Xuanzhu shook his head: "The old man did not go to assassinate, but to make an apology."

"What?!"

Zhenlong's eyeballs almost fell out, he slapped himself on the head, and said loudly: "Don't go! Damn it, isn't this embarrassing for Yunshan to send!"

Layman Xuanzhu ignored him, and only looked at the head of the sect inquiringly.

Liu Yunfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Xuanzhu, go."

"Master?!" Zhenlong couldn't understand at all.

Liu Yunfeng showed helplessness: "Elder Zhenlong, do you know how many soldiers Su Yuan has? Don't you want to see the whole Yunshan faction fighting with the army of military strategists?"

"Headmaster! I knew that all military horses need to be commanded, otherwise they will be a mess! If you kill the commanding officer, there will be no use for more military horses!"

"You..."

Liu Yunfeng felt a headache, too lazy to say any more, waved his hand and left directly.

Zhenlong followed behind with an angry face, it seemed that he hadn't said enough.

Layman Xuanzhu took his five disciples back and questioned them in detail.

When he learned that the five men rode to the city, Layman Xuanzhu sighed in his heart.

These apprentices of mine have absolutely no experience in the Jianghu... But anyone who has been in the Jianghu knows that they have to pretend to sneak in, and the details must be taken care of.

But Chen Zilei and the others grew up in the mountains and have been practicing martial arts. Their martial arts are good, but they lack experience in walking in the rivers and lakes.This led to revealing his secrets as soon as he entered the city, and people have been eyeing him for a long time.

However, this can also prove that the entire Beifeng City is currently under the control of Su Yuan.

Any disturbance in the city may not escape his eyes.

Zhu Xu asked with a mournful face: "Master, you said that senior brother and the others will be fine..."

"Yes, master, will they come back safely?" The second senior sister was also worried. She didn't go with her at the time. If she had gone, she might be in prison now.

"It should be."

Layman Xuan Zhu said so, but he hardly had any hope in his heart.

At least, don't hold the hope that all three of them will be alive.

It's not that he is pessimistic... How many people in this world will be tolerant of the assassin who assassinates him?
There may be such people, but they are definitely not Su Yuan.

This can be seen from Su Yuan's killing of Su Cheng... that is his half-brother.This kind of relationship will kill everyone, let alone an assassin who has never met before?

Layman Xuanzhu now only hopes that at least not all of his three apprentices died...
