Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 198

It was about noon and the sun was shining brightly.

This was the first time Chu Tang met Shen Zuo, the governor of Liangzhou.

The place where the two met was in the courtyard where Chu Tang stayed in Wutong Academy.

Shen Zuo was led in by Tao Ying and Shen Ya, while Chu Tang was wiping his magic weapon Yitian.

When seeing Shen Zuo for the first time, Chu Tang's first impression of him was "this is a handsome middle-aged guy", gentle and refined, with extraordinary momentum.

And Shen Zuo looked curiously at Chu Tang, a young talent who was famous in Qingcheng, and his first reaction was: "You are so young!"

Chu Tang, who was just 20 years old, really surprised Shen Zuo.

His ears were almost callused from hearing Chu Tang's name in the past few days, so he was naturally very curious about it.

Seeing it now, I feel that the reputation is well-deserved.

When he came in, Chu Tang took out his magic weapon and was wiping it with a white cloth, Shen Zuo deliberately took a few extra glances at the shining magic weapon.

He has also heard of Chu Tang's weapon that can be used as a knife and a sword, and he is quite curious.

Under the recommendation of Tao Ying and Shen Ya, the two exchanged polite greetings.

Chu Tang was curious about why Shen Zuo came to him.

Although Shen Ya had asked Shen Ya to bring a letter to Shen Zuo, and the two were considered related, but when it comes to meeting, it should be Chu Tang, a subordinate, who went to the governor's mansion to meet Shen Zuo, a superior official.

Now Shen Zuo, uncharacteristically, took the initiative to come to Wutong Academy to meet him, a small policeman, perhaps the matter to be discussed would not be easy.

As soon as Shen Zuo came up, he brought Chu Tang a strange thing like a greeting card.

The palm-sized hard paper is golden yellow, with a simple "Wu" character written on one side and a murderous "Ling" character written on the other side.

Of course Chu Tang didn't understand what it was for, but seeing Shen Zuo's serious expression, Tao Ying also looked serious, and couldn't help but thump in his heart, realizing that something was wrong.

Look for military orders!
Shen Zuo paused every word, and said three words seriously.

"Xunwu Ling?" Chu Tang was even more surprised because he had never heard of this name before, and planned to ask Governor Shen to explain it in detail.

After speaking, Chu Tang, Shen Zuo, and Tao Ying came to a gazebo next to the courtyard and sat down one by one.

Shen Ya acted as if she was just an escort today, standing behind Shen Zuo, keeping silent in a very polite manner.

In fact, she was a little absent-minded, and also a little reluctant. If her second uncle hadn't forced her to accompany her here today, she would not have been willing to get close to Chu Tang.

Like Su Qingyue, she was also frightened by the horrific scene when Chu Tang killed Shi Ziqian. Facing Chu Tang, she felt a little scared.

"Team Chu, to be honest, if I hadn't seen this Xunwu Ling again today, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a thing in the world of Dayao." Shen Zuo's words aroused Chu Tang's curiosity even more.

"Master Shen just said it was a challenge letter? Who gave it to me?" Chu Tang asked directly.

Shen Zuo's face darkened, he looked at Tao Ying, and after seeing her nodding, he said, "This is what Luoshengu sent to the Governor's Mansion."

Lost God Valley!
Chu Tang was startled, understood a little, and asked, "Luo Shengu is still going to attack me?"

Shen Zuo sighed, nodded slightly and said: "Your strategy worked at the beginning, please use the Governor's Mansion to negotiate with Luoshengu, so that they don't dare to act rashly. This matter is not the original intention of their valley master, but the idea of ​​Luo Changying's master and apprentice."

"Luo Changying?" Chu Tang expressed doubts.

"It's the Great Elder of Luoshen Valley, and the master of Shi Ziqian and Xu Lingfeng." Tao Ying interjected, "It's also the Luoying Excalibur, the thousand-year-old second in kendo that I mentioned to you earlier."

Chu Tang smiled wryly. He is a master of the Eight Realms. You, Dean Tao, call him the second child of a thousand years every day. Is it polite?

"He wants to attack me?" Chu Tang's heart sank.

It is not easy for anyone to be targeted by an eight-level master.

The reason why he asked Shen Zuo to come forward to mediate was because he was worried that the people in Luoshen Valley would not talk about martial arts and would bully the small with the big.

Now that Chu Tang's martial arts have greatly improved, he is not afraid of people in Luoshen Valley, five or six realms, and even opponents who have just entered the seventh realm, he is sure to escape, but his strength has reached the eighth realm, so he is not able to compete with him now that's it.

What kind of Mingyu skill, what kind of sword-drawing technique, or even flying immortals from outside the sky, in front of the masters of the eight realms, especially in front of people like Luo Changying, they might not have time to use them, and they would be given seconds by the opponent.

Fortunately, Shen Zuo's next words reassured Chu Tang a little: "Luo Changying is the Great Elder of Luoshen Valley. He has a respected status and a special status. It is inconvenient for him to do it directly. Unless you kill all three of his apprentices, otherwise he will Don't go crazy and take action yourself. Now it is his second apprentice Xu Lingfeng who sent the order to find the military."

Tao Ying added: "The guy who took Shi Ziqian, who fought with me that day, is on the same level as me."

"Great achievement in the sixth realm?" Chu Tang still smiled wryly, "He, a disciple of the Holy Land of the sixth realm, wants to fight with me, a small arrester of the fifth realm, because he is bullying the younger!"

As he spoke, he fixedly looked at Shen Zuo.

Shen Zuo shook his head and said, "Team Chu, you see that I am useless. Once the Martial Order comes out, let alone me as the governor, even the governor of Liangzhou will not be able to refuse his challenge."

"Why? What's the matter with the Martial Order?" Chu Tang became even more curious.

Shen Zuo looked at Tao Ying.

Tao Ying said: "When we talk about the Martial Order, we have to start from the time when Dayao Taizu founded the country..."

It turned out that after the founding of Dayao, Taizu established the world for the first time. On the one hand, he wanted to appease the various hatreds that had been turbulent in the world. On the other hand, he also urgently needed all kinds of warriors to join the court to help with things.

People from all walks of life, no matter how high or low they were born, no matter how high or low their martial arts are, as long as they come to the yamen with a martial arts order, they can designate a challenger and compete with officials.

Those who lose must accept their fate, and those who win can directly obtain the official status of the loser, and directly become a member of the imperial family.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to give those warriors who did not fight the world with the imperial court a chance to advance.

As long as you take a fancy to that military position, you can issue a military order to pick someone off the horse, and that position will be taken by you.

Chu Tang was dumbfounded after hearing this, and there is such a showy operation?

Seeing the shocked expression on Chu Tang's face, Shen Zuo also smiled wryly and said: "The search for military order was a matter of hundreds of years ago, and no one has mentioned it for decades. But, for some reason, the court has been This rule was not cancelled. Unexpectedly, Luo Changying and the others took advantage of it this time."

"Once the Martial Hunting Order comes out, can't you refuse the challenge?" Chu Tang asked with a frown.

"No!" Shen Zuo shook his head decisively.

Chu Tang was dissatisfied: "Then what if someone uses the Martial Order to come to seek revenge and openly kill the members of the Gongmen?"

Shen Zuo said: "At that time, the world was initially settled, and all kinds of recklessness roamed the rivers and lakes. You kill me, I kill you, isn't it normal? People from the Gongmen also killed many people. It is normal to have enemies. In fact, it is too Zu Tui's search for military orders is to give everyone a channel to vent, and there is also the intention that the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down."

Well, Chu Tang understands, this is legally fighting in the ring.

It doesn't matter whether you are an official or not, and it doesn't matter how reckless you are. When you are in the ring, whether you can survive or not depends on your ability.

Shen Zuo looked at the silent Chu Tang, and said, "Of course, in order to prevent people from all walks of life from arbitrarily using the order of seeking martial arts, the imperial court has also imposed restrictions on them. First of all, during the martial arts competition, the imperial court will have strong people present to suppress it, and will also invite Some highly respected martial arts people only have half an hour to watch the battle, once the time is over, the competition will stop."

Chu Tang smiled wryly: "The realms are far apart. If the weak are challenged, they will die for a moment. How can they survive for half an hour?"

He was actually relieved.

It's only half an hour, with his body skills and lightness skills, there is no need to be afraid of Xu Lingfeng!

"If I lose, I will die; if Xu Lingfeng wins, what price will he pay?" Chu Tang asked a question of concern.

Shen Zuo Youyou said: "If he wins, he will replace your current position and he is not allowed to leave for ten years."

"Ah?" Chu Tang yelled, "To be the head of the arrest team of the Gui County Yamen?"

"Yes." Shen Zuo nodded and said, "This is also the rule of the military search order that you can't mess around. Once you win, you must serve the public, and you have to do it if you don't want to. So this time, Luo Changying's master and apprentice are real. They have lost their money! If they lose, they will lose face; if they win, a sixth-level disciple of Luoshen Valley will have to work for the court within ten years! No matter how we look at it, they are all at a loss!"

Chu Tang chuckled, and said, "So, Xu Lingfeng's Martial Search Order must be welcomed by Liangzhou officials."

Chu Tang lost, it was his fate, but he got a six-level martial arts holy land disciple to serve for the court for nothing, why not do it?
No wonder the majestic governor of Liangzhou personally came to see Wu Ling, even if he thought about it, he couldn't refuse this temptation.

Shen Zuo smiled awkwardly, and said: "This is the court's regulation, we cannot refuse."

"Then what if Chu refuses?" Chu Tang asked back.

Shen Zuo said solemnly, "That's a serious crime of contempt for the royal family. If it's light, you'll be dismissed for nothing, or if it's serious, you'll be sent to prison for investigation."

Chu Tang smiled and said, "So, if we avoid fighting instead of fighting, the court will no longer fight with Luoshengu to protect Chu, but will let Luoshengu deal with Chu? If I escape, say Maybe it will become the wanted target of both the imperial court and Luoshen Valley?"

Luo Changying's master and apprentice played well!
This is a conspiracy, even if you know you are plotting against someone, you have to face it bravely.

Shen Zuo said in a deep voice: "This rule is indeed very harmful to today. Shen will write a letter to the imperial court, requesting that this rule be abolished!"

Chu Tang fixed his eyes on the military order in his hand, and said quietly: "But this time it's too late, Chu has to fight, doesn't he?"

Shen Zuo still smiled wryly.

In fact, he was also shocked that Luo Changying's master and apprentice could think of using the loopholes in the rules a hundred years ago to deal with Chu Tang.

Seeing that Chu Tang was not in a good mood, Shen Zuo exchanged some pleasantries, then got up and wanted to leave with Shen Ya.

Chu Tang stood up to see them off, and when he reached the small gate of the courtyard, he suddenly said: "Lord Shen, if Chu wins, will Luoshengu still keep pestering them? Will Xun Wuling come one after another?"

Shen Zuo was taken aback for a moment, and then said firmly: "Don't worry, Chief Chu, this is the only way to find a military order!"

Chu Tang smiled, nodded and remained silent.

Shen Zuo took a deep look at him, and took Shen Ya away slowly.

After walking tens of feet away, Shen Ya looked curious and asked, "Second Uncle, what kind of machine did Chu Tang hit in the end? What does your answer mean?"

Shen Zuo stopped, looked back at the yard in the distance, and said slowly: "He is expressing his dissatisfaction."

"dissatisfied?"

"Although he is a fast catcher, he is also a member of the public family. He has already asked us for help, but Luoshengu still found him. Do you think he has no grievances?"

"It can't be our fault!" Shen Ya said angrily, "We have tried our best."

"He didn't blame the two of us, but the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion." Shen Zuo sighed, "We are indeed sorry for them in this matter. Wanting to pick up a bargain, I pinched my nose and recognized this military order."

Shen Ya was surprised: "You really plan to get a martial arts holy land disciple to be a fast catcher for nothing?"

Shen Zuo smiled wryly, and said: "One side is the five-level policeman, and the other side is the sixth-level disciple of the holy land of martial arts. Which one do you choose?"

Shen Ya rolled her eyes and said, "It's no wonder Chu Tang has resentment. However, I think he looks very confident, and I assume he can win!"

Shen Zuo sighed: "There is no way to avoid it, so we can only bite the bullet. If you lose your confidence, then you might as well find a rope and hang yourself."

"Second uncle, do you think he has no chance?"

"I said yes, do you believe it?"

Shen Ya was speechless, unable to answer, and finally followed Shen Zuo away silently.

In the courtyard, after seeing off people, Chu Tang returned to the gazebo and sat opposite Tao Ying.

Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang's face, and said helplessly: "Chu Tang, I miscalculated on this matter. I thought that if I persuaded the governor and the governor, Luoshengu would be wary, but I didn't expect to force them to join the search for a hundred years ago. The rules of the Martial Order have been turned up. If you didn’t use the power of the government to suppress them, and you left Qingcheng directly, there would be other possibilities afterwards, but now...the Martial Order is released, but you have no other choice!"

Chu Tang waved his hands and said, "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. Who would have thought of this?"

It can only be said that Luo Changying's master and apprentice are really wonderful!

No matter how you look at it, Xu Lingfeng won't benefit much once the military search order comes out. Not free.

Both left and right looked at a disadvantage, but they couldn't figure out why Xu Lingfeng made such a choice.

Seeing that Chu Tang was very calm, Tao Ying asked, "Chu Tang, aren't you worried?"

Chu Tang said calmly: "It's only half an hour, Chu can still make it through."

"Really? I suspect that Xu Lingfeng has realized his potential. If you really want to go all out, I'm afraid you will fall short soon." Tao Ying's face was full of worry.

Chu Tang thought for a while, and said: "Chu has a secret skill, which can overdraw the potential of the body and can burst out energy no lower than the sixth level. However, it can't last for a long time, and it will gradually weaken after two quarters of an hour. But as long as you hold on for a while, In the second half of the burst of secret skills, half an hour is definitely not a problem."

"Ah?" Tao Ying's eyes brightened, her expression excited, "That's good! That's good! Chu Tang, don't worry, I'll be at the side at that time, and after half an hour, I'll intervene, and I will never let you Xu Lingfeng continues to pester you."

Chu Tang clasped his fists and said, "Then rely on Dean Tao."

"Then..." Tao Ying hesitated, "The Valley of the Lost Gods let us set a time and set up a venue. The venue must be in our Qingcheng, and we will never give them any chance! In terms of time, when do you think it would be better? ?”

"What day is it?" Chu Tang asked abruptly.

Tao Ying froze for a moment, then replied, "The fifth day of the lunar new year."

"That's the night ten days from now."

"Fifteen? Why is it this day? Why is it at night?"

Chu Tang smiled, and said in an inexplicable tone: "On the night of the full moon, the top of Qingcheng; with a sword coming to the west, you will be flying immortals!"

Although Tao Ying didn't understand the meaning, she was stunned and said twice:
"A sword coming to the west, flying immortals from outside the sky?!"
