Looking at the people present, Wan Shitong first sighed, and then frowned: "It's funny to say, the top ten sects were just selected a year ago, but now when the people in the rivers and lakes are needed to contribute to the country, there are so few people, not only spent Qin Guogong's silver in vain, but also folded Guogong's face." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Wan Shitong said again: "Nanjing Grandpa Xu, Nanjing Military Department, and Master Fu of Wusongkou all complain a little about Qin Guogong, which is an indelible stain on Guogong's official reputation. Therefore, Guogong decided not to sponsor the martial arts conference, and Master He and I could only stop this activity that was beneficial to the rivers and lakes, and there would be no martial arts conferences on the rivers and lakes from now on. ”

The reason why Gao Liangcai said this is, of course, Chang Wei's idea, since your major sects only send some small fish and shrimp to deal with the convening order of the rivers and lakes, then I will draw my salary from the bottom of the kettle, and directly stop holding the martial arts conference, and see who suffers.

Chu Yanming, Changkong Guanshi and others said in unison: "Mr. Wan, what's the matter? Although the martial arts conference has only been held for two sessions, the effect is very obvious, and it has become a replaceable event in the rivers and lakes. ”

It is true that Chang Wei does not support it, and after Wan Shitong and He Chong do not preside, the rest of the Jianghu sects can preside over on their own, but first, they can't get such a generous bonus, and at most they can only reimburse them for going back and forth. If there is no benefit, who will come back to participate? What is the meaning of these sects they host directing and acting on their own?

Second, there are many grievances and disputes between the Jianghu sects, and no matter which side of the sect presides, the other side and their own people are not at ease, what if they are ambushed and wiped out?

Third, thousands of Jianghu people gathered on a large scale with weapons, which was a matter that the imperial court was very worried about, and they organized such large-scale gatherings on their own, and the imperial court would definitely not allow it. And with Chang Wei's identity as a guarantee, the government does not need to worry at all.

In addition, you also need to worry about Chang Wei coming forward to disrupt this. After all, this is a grand gathering of rivers and lakes erected by others, and it is strange that someone picks peaches for no reason, and it is strange that they do not retaliate? With the identity of Chang Wei's powerful ministers and Jinyi Wei's real power, they can't do it with a casual word!

How big is the impact of not holding this martial arts conference?

It doesn't matter if the three families of Ethereal, Shaolin, and Wudang are all sects that have been inherited for thousands or hundreds of years, and they have a lot of influence in the imperial court, and they are even more famous in the rivers and lakes, so they don't worry about the influence of the silver and the martial arts conference.

It doesn't matter if the two major families of Ouyang and Murong are educated, anyway, they have a deep family history and a deep heritage, and many people have no way to take refuge in them.

Not to mention the Seven Seas Alliance, through the development of the past two years, in terms of background, there are Chang Wei, Yan Ruyu, Ma Yuan, and the Seven Sons of the Big Dipper, these court officials are the high-level of the sect, and even Guo Jinmi and Chu Qijue, who can shock ninety percent of the Jianghu people when they take out the identity of a thousand households, which is the absolute first background of the rivers and lakes; In terms of force, Chang Wei is the first in the world, and there are more than a dozen top-level strong combat forces such as Hu Wenqing, Liu Jingting, Fengyun, Feng Lu, Leng Xin, Guo Jinmi, Chu Qijue, Yan Ruyu, etc., as well as the Qihai Battalion, a powerful firearms army, which is not reluctant to say that it is the first in the world.

The Seven Seas Alliance, which is rich, powerful, armed and talented, doesn't need to participate in any martial arts conferences at all, and a large number of people from the rivers and lakes are lining up to take refuge!

However, the Jin Ge Society, the Changkong Gang, and even the Sword Alliance and the Tang Sect all need martial arts conferences to show their influence and increase their prestige in order to attract talents.

In the final analysis, these four super sects are only local sects, and their ability to attract talents and financial resources is not as good as those real giants, so they need the names of the top ten sects on the Tianbang list to enhance their attractiveness.

He Chong shook his head and said, "It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!"

Before the words fell, Wudang Qingyun had already glanced at the sky crown world, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the Cao Gang will not participate in this battle to suppress the widows?"

Wan Shitong glanced at him approvingly, nodded and said: "Not only did the Cao Gang not participate, but Emei also attended with five people, and even the Hundred Flowers Gang, the Tan Family, and the Seven Star Gate sent notices of non-participation, plus the Pai Gang and Eagle Claw Gate who had withdrawn for various reasons, in this case, if you can barely pull this situation, you will already have to think hard, how dare you hope for the martial arts conference at the end of the year?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful, they couldn't say that these sects just shouldn't be summoned by the rivers and lakes, not that they didn't participate in the martial arts conference, but it was too shameless to say so, face is the most favored thing by the people of the rivers and lakes, and they have to ask for it!

Chang Wei was secretly shocked in his heart, presumably the alliance and the Sky Gang did a lot of work last night in order to avoid unnecessary losses, and finally suppressed the fame and fortune caused by the withdrawal of the Seven Seas Alliance, of course, what kind of transaction is still unclear, but it can be concluded that the withdrawal of the Hundred Flowers Gang and the Cao Gang, the two sects that were originally fully sure to be on the list, should be the part of the transaction that sacrifices itself to seek the psychological balance of others.

Seeing everyone's sad expressions, He Chong secretly shouted, "What a desperate plan to retreat!"

When Chang Wei said this method, He Chong was still a little hesitant, afraid that the situation would get out of control, but now it seems that the people in the rivers and lakes here should have a headache.

Since you don't want to play the games of the ten schools, well, let's never play them again. This game is not good for me He Chong, I can neither be promoted nor rich, I was originally just trying to be in a good mood, and now you don't give me face, why should I waste time here?

That's the subtext!

Changkong Peerless didn't come to Chang Wei because he came up with a strategy to hang up the battle-free card, but he didn't expect Chang Wei to be even more powerful here.

Wan Shitong said again: "However, under the maneuvering of Lord He, Guogong agreed to sponsor the martial arts conference at the end of this year, and this last conference will only choose seven major factions due to strength." ”

His move obviously disrupted the deployment of the alliance and the Changkong Gang, out of consideration for their own interests, no one wants the martial arts conference to die abruptly; if it really dies, the Cao Gang, Hengshan and even the Baihua Gang, the Tan family These sects are afraid to fight at the last martial arts conference at the end of the year, which is obviously not what the alliance and the Changkong Gang want to see.

It's just that in this way, I am afraid that there will be fewer Jianghu sects who have seen the battle of suppressing the Japanese, but Chang Wei doesn't care about this, he has enough troops. And once they don't participate in the war, Chang Wei will activate the hole cards and once again set off a new battle situation in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

"Only choosing the seven major sects is also a last resort, like the Great Sword Sect and the Sanhua Sect, there are more than a dozen sects in the rivers and lakes, favoring one over the other, it will inevitably lead to a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, is this the original intention of holding a martial arts conference!?"

That's amazing!

Chang Wei secretly cheered for Lao Gao!

has almost collapsed the alliance front that the two powers have worked so hard to manage, and he has to put the responsibility for provoking a bloody battle on others, in Chang Wei's eyes, Gao Liangcai seems to have grown a poisonous snake tail.

Chu Yanming had calmed down from Fang Cai's excitement, and seemed to be thoughtful, obviously he began to perceive what kind of consequences Wan Shitong's words might bring to the alliance; Qingyun didn't seem to be able to understand the mood of his allies because Wudang didn't care about the top ten titles, and he looked very leisurely while looking left and right in shock; and when Chang Wei's eyes swept over the comprehension that was also from Fang Wai, he was already calm, and he couldn't see the change in his heart.

Changkong Guanshi's face was also uncertain, and he muttered something to Han Yuanji in a low voice. Only the big fat man Song Weichang had an expression of excitement and longing on his face from time to time, obviously falling into a fantasy.

When Chang Wei's gaze finally returned to Tang Jinyi's face beside him, he met his blazing gaze. Maybe it's because he's used to seeing his soft appearance, but his sharp gaze at the moment makes him a little uncomfortable.

"You should know......"

"Yes, my brother-in-law. Thank you so much, you let me see the hearts of two people clearly. ”

The two exchanged glances, which also allowed each other to understand each other's general thoughts.

In the end, Chu Yanming said: "Sir, can you hold the news of the martial arts conference for a day, and wait for me to go back and discuss it before I deal with it?"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "As for Mr. Torrent's brave retreat, Yan Ming is a junior, so he doesn't dare to say more, on behalf of the three thousand children of the Jin Ge Society, please think twice!"

The first meeting ended in the case of everyone having their own ghosts, seeing that Miao Wanbai seemed to be deliberately left behind, Chang Wei just wanted to invite him, but he heard Gao Liangcai shouting: "Guogong, can you leave a story?"

A few hours later, when the announcement of the Jianghu convening order was placed in front of He Chong.

"This ...... What is this going on?"

In fact, this result was predicted, but it happened so quickly, which still made He Chong sigh at the greed of human nature.

In just a few hours, the atmosphere of the Jianghu summoning order has changed abruptly, the alliance and the Sky Gang are no longer able to control their allies, and there are seventeen more sects on the original blank summoning order application form, not only Hengshan, Cao Gang, and even the Luofu Gang are impressive, of course, there is no name of the Seven Seas Alliance, Chang Wei is still waiting for a better opportunity.

Wan Shitong also announced the preliminary list of the top ten sects on this year's Heavenly List, in addition to the newly selected Hengshan faction and Cao Gang, the only thing that stands out is that the ranking of the Murong family has advanced one step forward, and the corresponding Tang Sect has changed from fifth to sixth.

If Chang Wei hadn't made those moves at the beginning, maybe this turmoil wouldn't have happened at all, as Changkong Guanshi said, if the Seven Seas Alliance participated in the top ten rankings, Jiangnan and Jiangbei would have two seats, which was an acceptable result for everyone.

However, now, everything is different, once the desire in a person's heart is aroused, it will definitely not be calmed before seeing blood, the Tang Sect and the Murong family swapping positions does not seem to cause too many moves, but what about other sects?

Hengshan, the Cao Gang, especially the Luofu Gang, they did not have an overwhelming advantage against the Baihua Gang and the Tan family, Yi Mei'er and Tan Yu, can they bear such a sect riding on their heads?

"Is Dreadnought there?" a clear and majestic voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Xijue, why did you come to Longtan Town?"

Chang Wei heard that it was Fu Zhouzi's voice, and suddenly jumped up from the Taishi chair, opened the door and saw that it was indeed him in military uniform!

When Fu Laikun downstairs saw that he was an official, he was busy with wine and food.

Fu Zhouzi's armor robe is embroidered with Xiong Zhen, which is the official robe of the Chinese military government.

In Nanjing, the Governor's Mansion of the Central, Left, Right, Front and Rear Five Armies is the only one who has a servant officer, so the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army is in charge of the daily drills of the Five Armies in Nanjing, and in addition, he leads the sailors of Wusongkou, who is known as the Governor of the Five Armies, and has extremely heavy authority.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing not only governs Nanzhili but also manages the soldiers and horses of several provinces, among which Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Hangzhou are all subject to its control.

"What about Sister Ruoling?"

Because he was like-minded with Fu Zhouzi and had common interests and ideals, Chang Wei married a cousin Huang Ruoling to him.

Although Fu Zhouzi's wife died, marrying him is considered a continuation, but Fu Zhouzi is dignified and majestic, and he is a second-class military attaché with an unlimited future, so the Huang family doesn't care about this reputation, besides, this family affair was opened by Chang Wei, and the Huang family didn't dare not give him face, so they became relatives last autumn, and Chang Wei didn't catch up with him outside the plug at that time.

Hey, I forgot to tell you that if Ling is pregnant, how dare I let her go on the road on this cold day. ”

"Haha!" Chang Wei laughed and punched him: "Xijue, you can do it, you are going to be a father so soon, congratulations!"

"It's still early, just over four months. ”

Chang Wei frowned and said, "Since Ruoling is pregnant, why don't I give it to the girl to you, how about it?"

Fu Zhouzi exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Hey, fearless, what do you make Ruoling think of me like this? ”

"Heh~, Xijue, I mean to send a girl over to serve Ruoling, not for you to guard and steal!"

Shen Xiyi laughed and said: "Fearless, I'm afraid you can't even lie to Ruo Ling, who doesn't know who you are." However, even if it is given to your sister-in-law, a person as virtuous as your sister-in-law, knowing that your brother is in a panic now, how can there be any reason not to let her go to bed?"

"Hey, I'm thinking about you, I dare to make fun of me, you wait for whoever dares to kill the thief in the future, I will definitely kill him. Also, Ruoling is my cousin, and you will be my brother-in-law in the future, don't be confused about your seniority!"

As he spoke, there was already a thin laugh in the back room, mixed with the scolding of the little goldfish "big lewd thief".

Shen Xiyi's old face was slightly red, fortunately, Xiaofu's actions were swift, and good wine and food were sent up, and the brothers drank happily, which solved the embarrassing situation.

After asking about the recent situation, he learned that Wan Shitong, Deng Qi and He Chong were here, he frowned and said: "I should have seen He Gong, but I am not familiar with Deng Qi, so let's do it next time!"

Listening to his tone, it should be an acquaintance with Deng, Deng Qi has lived in the capital for a long time, and once served as the deputy commander of the Beicheng Terracotta Division, and Jingwei occasionally assists the Five Cities Terracotta Division to hunt down thieves, so it is not surprising that the two know each other.

"It's been a few years ago!" Fu Zhouzi said with some emotion: "Not long after I arrived in the capital, I assisted Shuntianfu in investigating a cult case, and met Ning Bai'er, the right Shaowu of the sect at that time. Speaking of which, she is no worse than the younger brothers and sisters around her brother, mentioning her name in the capital is like mentioning Qin Huai Bayan in Jiangnan, you should know it in the capital. He seemed to be caught in a memory, and a brief look of obsession flashed across his handsome face.

Chang Wei waited for a glance at him, "How would I know that I am busy in the capital, where can I have time to pay attention to these idle things." ”

But looking at his appearance, you can know that what he said is true, and it seems that he should have a relationship with this Ning Bai'er.

"Fearless, I'm just making myself amorous, Miss Ning's sweetheart is this Dunch brother, I met him twice at Miss Ning's place, and he also knows that I have a crush on Miss Ning. ”

"It turns out that Lao Deng is your rival in love, so I'll find someone to do him!" Chang Wei joked.

Fu Zhouzi scolded with a smile, and then sighed lightly: "Alas, I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital again, I can wait for your letter!"

At this time, he completely lost the martial arts of the Jin soldiers after the great break of Liaodong, but he was like a sentimental scholar, a love word, and it really had infinite magic.

Chang Wei also drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "After finishing this ticket, let's go back to Beijing!"

"You're a prince of the country, why are you getting more and more arrogant. He shook his head and smiled, and said: "It's funny, just when I was about to leave Hangzhou, Jin Gehui didn't know where to get the news, Chu Tiankuo actually personally sent two thousand taels of ceremonies, which I sternly refused, such a snob, it's really disgusting to look at!"

"The husband of the world is a city and a road, the rich are a man, and the poor are widows, so it is true, Xijue, don't be too harsh on Chu Tiankuo. ”

But he secretly wondered in his heart, Fu Zhouzi was not a flamboyant person, the army may know his itinerary, but not necessarily locally, did Chu Tiankuo start to approach the military people to get Olympic aid?

"If you are fearless, you are different, giving gold and silver, all when I Fu Xijue is down......"

Chang Wei hurriedly interrupted him: "Please, I didn't bribe you! It is natural for friends to have a little money exchange, if you feel that you can't go, pay me back quickly when you have money, my silver is not blown by the wind!"

Fu Zhouzi couldn't help laughing, but Chang Wei took out 20,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to him, saying: "Actually, Chu Tiankuo's silver is really a charcoal in the snow for you, you are a servant of the Chinese army, that is, the imperial history of the army, those corrupt officials in the army want to win over and corrupt you the most, if you don't have some silver around you to back up, you may not see the eyes of the money one day, the so-called' If you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, yes, for you, you have a lot of money in your hands, so you won't be corrupt, and you can be justified in the face of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials!"

"Fearless, I really believe in your mouth, and you can turn crooked reasoning into truth. Having said that, he unceremoniously took the silver ticket and sighed: "Actually, when I saw Chu Tiankuo's two thousand taels of silver, I was really a little moved." Jiangnan people earn more and spend more, I really can't bear to suffer with me. ”

Fu Zhouzi's ups and downs in the Huan Sea made him understand the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and his thinking, which was originally a pure soldier, also changed, of course, this change is very gratifying for Chang Wei, because with his outstanding military talent, once he is in tune with the trend, it is equivalent to embarking on the road of soaring.

Chang Wei's task is to turn this path into a heavenly path, and all that remains is to use the friendship he established when he was down, plus Ruoling's love thread to firmly tie the two together.
