Chapter 276
"It should be, I heard that it is similar to the chief inspector of martial arts." Xue Chang said in a low voice with a dignified expression: "It is said that this person's martial arts is very strong, probably even higher than the two Zen masters Wu Bei and Wu Nu!"

"Impossible!" Guo Huaishou couldn't help shouting, and immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, even Dongfang Xiong cast his gaze from a distance.

Xue Chang sat upright, moved his lips slightly, and said to Guo Huaishou through sound transmission: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you will know in the future, he may become a trouble for us Da Zhou!"

Seeing Xue Chang speak so solemnly, Guo Huaishou looked at Dongfang Xiong half-believingly, but saw that the other party was laughing and talking with the young man beside him, and the prestige he felt before had disappeared. It seemed that it was an illusion, so he couldn't help but I don't quite believe Xue Chang's words.

At this time, a high-pitched shout sounded from the center of the arena: "The martial arts competition begins!"

On the Pingchang City Tower, Emperor Taixiang looked down at the square. The contestants in the first round of competition had already stood on the wooden platform. He watched carefully for a while, and couldn't help asking: "That Xue Chang is still the same as yesterday Same, are you playing in the second round?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Zhong, the commander of the Dragon Guard standing beside him, replied, "His opponent is Ba Buyun, the elder of the Yandang Sect."

"Will he be Xue Chang's opponent?"

"Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that apart from Yang Yuanming of the Huashan faction who may be able to fight against one of the members of the Ding group, it is difficult for others to stop him."

Emperor Taixiang nodded, Cao Zhong's answer was within his expectations, his eyes moved south, and finally saw Xue Chang in the rest area, and said softly: "Old Cao, do you know that yesterday in the Cuju club competition Those underage apprentices of Xue Chang actually defeated Funiu Village!"

"The old minister already knows." Cao Zhong replied: "As far as the old minister knows, the apprentices of the Xiaoyao Sect were taken by Xue Chang at the end of the previous year, and they have only learned martial arts for less than two years. This shows that Xue Chang is not only a martial arts genius , and the ability to teach apprentices is also very strong, he is really an all-rounder."

After hearing Cao Zhong's words, Emperor Taixiang looked at Luo Lanmeng who was gazing at the downstairs with all his attention not far away, smiled and muttered to himself: "It's all thanks to the imperial sister..."

Then his expression became serious again: "This Funiu village is doing so badly that it can't even beat a group of children! I heard that Funiu village has been self-proclaimed and self-proclaimed over the years, and its strength has declined sharply. It was a waste of so much money bestowed by the court. Land and money! If Funiuzhai still performs poorly in the following competitions, ask Long Wei to investigate the violations of laws and regulations in Funiuzhai over the past few years! I have to let all the martial arts factions know and take the imperial court's money. What kind of end will it be if you are greedy for pleasure and don't think about making progress!"

..............................................................................

Cao Zhong's judgment was not wrong. Ba Buyun of the Yandang faction could not stop Xue Chang's winning streak, and the same was true for Liao Zhanxin of the Golden Dragon Gang. Xue Chang who realized the true meaning of Drunken Fist, some of his unimaginable moves did not meet Xue Chang's expectations, and he was defeated in the end.

Because of Dongfangxiong's incident, Xue Chang realized that he was too much in the limelight yesterday, so he deliberately restrained himself today. Therefore, the battles with the three of them all had more than a hundred moves, and it was not surprising that they won steadily in the end. , disappointed some viewers who wanted to watch the excitement, so they all turned their attention to the old and vigorous iron-blooded Chang Hemen Ye San, the chic and elegant Excalibur Villa Si Jinyu, the quiet and elegant Shaolin Temple Huiwu, whose palm strength is more powerful than that of a man. Emei is quiet, Mrs. Qiu of Tangmen who is elusive with a hidden weapon in one hand, Liu Shengming of the Dongying Sword School with sharp swordsmanship and unique moves, Yang Yuanming with a smooth and calm temperament when fighting, the beautiful and picturesque goddess Gong Gu Shijing, Lianxuanying at Mingqin Villa, Tang Xin at the Qinhuai Congregation, Qingjin brocade at the Embroidered House...

Jiang Jun took the opportunity to belittle Xue Chang to the honorable disciples around him, saying, "The reason why he performed so well yesterday was because the opponent he met was too weak, but today the opponent is stronger, and he will be out of everyone's eyes. If he meets again The top few masters in his group will probably suffer defeat." Yun Yun, his obviously unreliable words actually won the approval of some honorable children who wanted to curry favor with him, and even opened a fire in the spectator seats. Gamble: Bet that Xue Chang will lose in the next few contests.

A few of them put the treasure on Xue Chang's next opponent - Li Xingrong, the head of the Li family in Luozhong.

The five great families in Luoyang—the Meng family in Luobei, the Yang family in Luonan, the Chen family in Luodong, the Han family in Luoxi, and the Li family in Luozhong were all built by the people of the former iron-blooded Changhemen. The five families are connected with each other, with the Li family as the head .

Li Mingzhe, the founder of the Li family in Geinluozhong, was the general of the heavy cavalry under the command of Ye Wenbo, the general who recruited the Peking University. His spearmanship was passed down by Ye Wenbo himself, and he was invincible on the battlefield. At critical moments in the war, he led the heavy cavalry to charge the battle. Repeated victories have shocked the enemy's courage, so the Xianbei people are afraid of it and call it "ghost riding".Later, after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was conferred the title of uncle for his meritorious service, and after the iron-blooded Changhe Gate was forcibly disbanded by the imperial court, Li Mingzhe took the initiative to publicly declare that he was "willing to continue serving for the imperial court", thus stabilizing the hearts of some Iron-Blooded Changhemen, and Emperor Taizu was delighted. , and then appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the soon-to-be-formed General Patrol Division.

Five years later, Li Mingzhe resolutely resigned from the post of commander-in-chief of the General Tourist Military Division on the grounds of "old age and old injuries recurring, and he can't take things seriously". Within three years, the Iron-Blooded Changhemen veterans who served in the Military Patrol Division retired one after another, and all the positions they left behind were replaced by the Dragon Guards trained by the palace. So far, the Military Patrol Division was completely controlled by the Emperor Taizu.

Li Mingzhe retires at home, does not care about political affairs, concentrates on teaching apprentices and passing on his skills, and develops in the martial arts with all his heart.However, the emperor Taizu continued to pay his family members, and there must be rewards every festival, and he would be invited to participate in the big banquets held in the palace, and the seats were still in the front.

Because of this, when Emperor Taizu was in power, there was a saying in the court: "Among all the ministers in the court, there are only two people who can relieve the worries of the emperor and understand the way of advance and retreat. One is Li Mingzhe and the other is Xiao Lingnan. It is a pity that the two failed to become Weng's daughter-in-law."

Due to the favor of the Emperor Taizu and the fact that Li Mingzhe was the former commander-in-chief of the General Tourist Martial Arts Department, the nobles and rich men of Luoyang City came to visit one after another, asking for their children to worship under Li Mingzhe.Li Mingzhe, who is very good at being a man, accepted them one after another, but divided these disciples into two parts. One part was the direct disciples, who got their true teachings, kept their sect rules, and were members of the Li family in Luozhong all their lives; You don't have to strictly abide by the door rules, and you can leave at any time. They can also be called disciples of the Li family in Luozhong. Most of them are disciples of noble and wealthy merchants. Therefore, some young generals proficient in marksmanship and combat skills were cultivated for the Dazhou army. Emperor Taizu was happy to see their success. Therefore, the Li family in Luozhong quickly developed into the largest sect in Luoyang and the surrounding areas. One of the children in the family must have studied art in the Li family in Luozhong, and the Li family in Luoyang also tried their best to provide convenience when the Li family in Luoyang was doing business.

The Li family in Luoyang has entered the top three in the Gyeonggi Martial Arts Tournament for two consecutive times, and Li Mingzhe also performed amazingly in the Dharma conference. Therefore, among the people in the capital, the Li family in Luozhong has become the No. [-] family in the martial arts in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is also inseparable from the fun of the Li family.

However, prosperity must decline, and the Li family in Luozhong has a large number of apprentices. It is inevitable that good and evil are mixed, good and bad are mixed. Even with Li Mingzhe's strict control, violations of laws and regulations still happen occasionally. Disciples, things can often be resolved peacefully.

Seven years ago, Li Mingzhe was seriously ill and was bedridden. He handed over the affairs of the school to his son Li Xingrong. Li Xingrong was not as strict with the disciples of the school as his father.

At that time, Emperor Taizu was also seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time, so the imperial concubine Liu Lingying went to Baima Temple to pray for him.

Several disciples of the Li family in Luozhong were having fun in a brothel. They heard someone talking about the rumor about the imperial concubine Liu Lingying, saying, "She was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts at that time, and she was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts. Although she is old now, she still looks like a young girl." In this way, the drunk disciple of the Li family was so excited that he decided to go to the White Horse Temple to take a peek at what happened, but he sneaked into the temple late at night, but was discovered by the guards. Liu Lingying, she personally captured him, which fulfilled the wish of these Li family disciples who wanted to see him.

When Emperor Taizu learned of this, he was furious and ordered to severely punish the Li family.

Li Mingzhe was terrified when he heard about this. He sat on a couch and wanted to enter the palace to plead guilty.It didn't take long for this "ghost rider" who once shocked the northern barbarians and was good at protecting himself to be wise, to die in depression.

After receiving the instructions from the Emperor Taizu, the military inspector dug up all the old cases committed by the disciples of the Li family in Luozhong, arrested them one by one, shut them down, and killed them, including some relatives of the Li family. After a thunderous blow, everyone in the capital knew that the Li family in Luozhong had lost their holy family. Most of the disciples who came from noble and wealthy merchants hid back at home, and the officials in the court and China immediately cut off contact with them. The once prosperous Li family instantly became neglected. Ma Xi, the huge group of disciples also scattered like birds and beasts.Fortunately, Emperor Taizu thought about the old friendship and the reaction of other martial arts sects to this matter, so in the end he showed mercy and did not completely destroy the Li family.

Since then, the second head of the family, Li Xingrong, has devoted himself to running the sect, strictly recruiting apprentices, and with the support of his father's old friends, the Li family in Luozhong, which had plummeted, has seen some improvement...
