The imperial court invited the world's martial arts, and two months later, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the "Taihu Lake Martial Arts" held in the misty peak of the West Mountain of Taihu Lake, first Jingyue was in the court, and he had already heard of it. As for why the imperial court held this martial arts conference at this time, if you want to discuss the reasons in detail, it has to be traced back to the last years of the previous dynasty.

It is said that the tyranny of the former dynasty in the past, so that the people were miserable, finally aroused the resistance of the Han people, and several rebel armies to "drive out the Tartars" appeared one after another. And behind these rebels, most of them are secretly supported by the Divine Fire Sect of the Western Regions, and even the current emperor, Xie Fengxuan, Bi Wuzong and others have worshiped under the Divine Fire Sect. Therefore, at that time, the Central Plains martial arts were all respected by the Shenhuo Sect, and under the dispatch of the Shenhuo Sect, they fought together with the rebels from all over the country against the alien races of the previous dynasty, thus making the Shenhuo Sect faintly become the head of the Central Plains martial arts. Even today, the Divine Fire Sect has long disappeared in the Central Plains, and its residual power is still there; as soon as its "Divine Fire Order" appears, the entire Central Plains martial arts will be more or less given a little bit of thin face.

It wasn't until the current emperor defeated Li Jiusi, who was also a rebel, and controlled the entire Jiangnan territory, that in order to suppress the momentum of the Shenhuo Sect, he praised the master Wen Tianting under his command and named him the "Master of the Martial Arts Alliance". At the same time, the emperor also spent a lot of money to arrange the "Jianghu Celebrity List", so that Wen Tian, who was inferior in martial arts, prestige and status, overwhelmed Gongsun Moming, the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, and occupied the first place on the list, trying to compete with the Shenhuo Sect.

It's a pity that Wen Tian heard that this "martial arts alliance leader" was just wishful thinking on the part of the imperial court, and it was almost not recognized by fellow martial artists at that time. It wasn't until later that Gongsun Mo Ming disappeared mysteriously and the forces of the Divine Fire Sect completely withdrew from the Central Plains, and Wen Tianting's position in the rivers and lakes was gradually stabilized, and he finally became the leader of the martial arts alliance of the entire Central Plains "Two Capitals and Thirteen Envoys".

Who knew that in the past year, first the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Wen Tian, obeyed his orders and died in Poyang Lake, and only four of the "Seventeen Gentlemen" under the seat survived. Then news came out, saying that the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, Gongsun Mo Ming, who was also the leader of the former Xiang Army, "Little Dragon King", reappeared in the world, not only took over the power of the Shenhuo Sect again, but even the Five Nations Alliance outside Jiayu Pass was controlled by this Shenhuo Sect leader, which immediately shocked the entire government and the opposition. For a time, not only did the officials in the court lose color, but the emperor was even more frightened and couldn't sleep at night.

However, no matter how powerful the Divine Fire Sect is, no matter how high Gongsun Mo Ming's martial arts are, in the final analysis, it is only a martial arts sect in the Western Regions. When this situation was in this situation, in order to stabilize the martial arts in the Central Plains, so as to prevent the Divine Fire Sect from re-entering the Central Plains and making waves, this was the "Taihu Lake Martial Arts" two months later. And this news was also spread by the imperial court not long ago, and many sects near Jiangnan have received invitations.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Ye Dinggong's words tonight, Xian Jingyue knew that the emperor's appetite was so great, that he wanted to use this "Taihu Lake Martial Arts" to conquer the entire Central Plains martial arts in one fell swoop; and that he, the newly appointed deputy commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, was the key to this. Xian Jingyue couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but his face was silent, and he asked sharply: "Does the emperor want me to be the second Wentianting?"

In this regard, Ye Dinggong shook his head slowly, and said with a smile: "Brother is wrong again, in the past, Wen Tian heard that this martial arts alliance leader was just a vain name in the end, and he had never led a faction from beginning to end, so how could he talk about co-opting the entire Central Plains martial arts? So what the emperor needs this time is not just a 'martial arts alliance leader' with high martial arts, but a sect that is enough to dominate the Central Plains martial arts, a martial arts leader who commands all sects and factions like the Divine Fire Sect in the past!"

Xian Jingyue frowned when she heard this, and immediately understood what the emperor meant, and couldn't help but say: "The rivers and lakes have their own rules, but I am afraid that the pro-army Governor's Mansion will not be allowed to interfere arbitrarily." Who knew that Ye Dinggong immediately asked: "Who said that we should intervene in the name of the pro-army governor's mansion?"

Seeing that Xian Jingyue fell silent again, Ye Dinggong could only ask and answer himself, and said: "If you want to convince the entire Central Plains martial arts, of course, you can't break their so-called 'Jianghu rules', after all, the pro-army Duwei's Mansion is subordinate to the imperial court, so naturally it can't participate in this 'Taihu Lake martial arts' as a 'Jianghu sect'." At the end of last month, Master Su, the leader of the Xuanwu Gang in Jinling City, and Gu Laoquan, the head of the Feihua Sect, finally reached a proposal to merge the faction and merge the Xuanwu Gang and the Feihua Sect into one, calling it the 'Xuanwu Feihua Gate'. Due to the advanced age of these two old-timers, in order to make the Xuanwu Feihuamen shine in the 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' two months later, they did not hesitate to abandon the sect's views, not only passed the position of head to my Ye someone, but also included the thirty-six masters of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, the Imperial City Internal Guard, the Forbidden Army and the Torture Room. As for you, Brother Jingyue, I have also made a claim for you, and let you serve as the deputy head of the Xuanwu Feihua Sect. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xian Jingyue stood up from the chair on the spot. To say that the Xuanwu Gang and Feihuamen in Jinling City are of course the Jiangnan martial arts sect with a long history, and these two factions have also contributed to defend the city on the night of the Taiyuan Guan rebellion in the past, but when it comes to the martial arts and power of these two factions, I am afraid that they are not even a third-rate sect in the rivers and lakes. Now the so-called "merger" of the two sides has also let Ye Dinggong, an inexplicable outsider, take over the position of head of the house, which can be seen that this is obviously the instruction of the imperial court, which is to use the empty shell of "Xuanwu Feihuamen" to overwhelm the heroes in the "Taihu Lake Martial Arts", and then become the head of the Central Plains martial arts. In this way, it is actually equivalent to letting the imperial court take over the entire rivers and lakes.

Ye Dinggong rarely saw his subordinate so shocked, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "Why is my brother so surprised? Hurry up and sit down and drink! If you know the genius of the current emperor, how can you and I easily see through it?" After that, he added: "As for the restructuring of the pro-army governor's mansion, it is naturally also to pave the way for the establishment of the 'Xuanwu Feihuamen'. Now the entire pro-army Governor's Mansion is divided into two departments, the internal and external, and the 'internal' is still under the responsibility of the five former commanders of Feng Changfeng, Ning Xi, Hong Wuji, Ling Jianxin, and Gao Xiao, who report directly to the emperor; Whether it is the thirty-six masters of the court who have already joined the Xuanwu Feihua Sect, or the disciples who will be accepted by this sect in the future, they will all be placed on the 'outside' of the pro-army capital governor's mansion under the command of you and me. ”

Hearing this, Xian Jingyue completely figured out the origin of his "deputy commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion", and couldn't help but let out a long breath slowly. Regarding the emperor's plan to absorb the entire Central Plains martial arts, although he couldn't find anything wrong, he was half a person in the rivers and lakes after all, and when he heard that the imperial court was going to control the entire martial arts, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

At that moment, he groaned slightly, and did not re-sit down, so he said to Ye Dinggong: "The Lu of the Eater, since you should fulfill your duties, you will listen to the arrangements of the adults." It's just that before that, I'm going to Taizhou Mansion and I'll leave tonight. ”

Unexpectedly, Ye Dinggong seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and immediately smiled: "My brother is going to Taizhou Mansion here, if it is because of the Rebellion of the Japanese Invaders, then it is not necessary. In addition, the rebels in the southeast are now said to be at war with the Japanese pirates, so if they let them eat dogs, it would be better to end up losing both, so this rebellion of the Japanese invaders is, of course, the more chaotic the better, and the longer the better. But if the elder brother is going for the third lady of the Xie family, hehe...... As the saying goes, General Xie has passed away, and you and Miss Xie have also dissolved the marriage contract, so why bother to make this trip for no reason?"

Xian Jingyue was slightly stunned, then shook her head and said, "I have made up my mind." Immediately, Ye Dinggong was dumbfounded and speechless.

Seeing that his top boss had nothing to say, Xian Jingyue stopped talking. Since the other party held a banquet at home tonight to convey the emperor's intentions to himself, then now that the words have been spoken, there is no need for him to delay more.

At that moment, he said goodbye to Ye Dinggong, and was about to leave, so frightened that Ye Dinggong hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother, slow down! It's just that you and my brother have a heart-to-heart relationship, just a few random words, my brother invited you over tonight, in fact, there is one more important thing to tell you...... Hehe, after you listen to what my brother said, this trip to Taizhou Mansion, I'm afraid you will definitely not go!"

Hearing this, Xian Jingyue could only stop and cast an inquiring glance at this Commander-in-Chief Ye. Seeing that Ye Dinggong was slightly stunned, he showed an unfathomable smile at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "The emperor intends to give you a marriage, and he wants to marry the seventeenth princess under his knees, and allow you to be the emperor's son-in-law." I wonder what my brother thinks?"
