Chapter 300
The spectator area was also noisy, but compared to the martial arts people's hot discussion about Xue Chang's impact on the martial arts structure by becoming a national defender, these honorable children were talking about another issue.

"I heard that Xue Chang is only in his early 20s, and he is about to become a Marquis. It's really enviable!"

"Hey, my father planned to send me to the Li family in Luozhong to study art, but my mother firmly opposed it. Otherwise, maybe now I will become a national protector like him and be appointed by the emperor!"

"Practicing martial arts requires talent, and it also depends on hardship. You see, the Jiang family and the Liu family have been studying at the Li family for so many years, and I haven't seen them able to participate in this martial arts conference, that is, they usually play when they fight. It’s just majesty. Tang Hao, it’s not that I underestimate you, it’s just a joke that you want to become a country protector because of your cowardly nature of hiding away during fights and calling your mother when you bleed a little!”

"Su Zian, my mother... I'm going to fight you!" The young man named Tang Hao was exposed, and turned into a rage, he wanted to fight.

"Okay, don't mess around!" A mighty-looking young man next to him yelled, and stopped the two of them. He said in a deep voice with an unhappy face: "What kind of country protector is a joke! I think my father used to Da Zhou was born and died, and was finally named a Marquis, a lowly Jianghu person can become a high-ranking Marquis as long as he knows a few skills, what is the reason for that!"

"Brother Yuchi, keep quiet!" A handsome young man next to him solemnly reminded: "Don't forget that the reason why my Great Zhou was able to defeat the Northern Man was due to the great efforts of the Wulin people, and the late Emperor was thinking of this. , will use this method to win over them, otherwise if we don't pay attention, someone will pay attention." When he said this, he also deliberately pointed to Dongfang Xiong who was sitting on the edge of the viewing area.

This person is Xiao Qian, the son-in-law of Zhennan Wang Xiao Lingnan, who is quite prestigious among the noble children, but Yu Chihuan still retorted: "But the main reason for defeating the northern barbarians was that there was the Duke of the Protector, and there was no Duke of the Protector." No matter how fierce these martial arts people are, they are nothing but loose sand on the battlefield, unable to withstand the impact of thousands of troops."

Concubine Liu's younger brother, Liu Yanjin, answered, "Emperor Taizu is so wise, that's why he established the Xunwusi to control the various factions in the martial arts. The reason why the southwest Qiang rebellion was quickly quelled last year was mainly due to the Xunwusi led by him. The strength of the martial arts army—”

Before he finished speaking, Yu Chihuan asked in surprise: "How did I hear that the Qiang Rebellion in Southwest China was able to be quelled quickly because the new General of Rongzhou, Li Bosong, led his army across the Shu River, fought back, defeated the main force of the rebel army, and continued without stopping?" The siege came to attach the city, and it took more than a month of storming to win the final victory."

"That was announced by the imperial court to reassure the hearts of the people and the army. In fact, they fought with their backs and defeated the martial arts army led by the main force of the rebel army. They were also the ones who broke through the city. It is said that the first to attack the city was Iron Blood The new sect master of Changhe Sect."

After Xiao Qian finished speaking, Yu Chihuan was stunned: "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would the emperor hold a martial arts conference. Brother Yuchi, don't stay in the barracks all day long, the news is too closed! Do you know—" Liu Yanjin leaned over and whispered in his ear A few words.

"What? Really?!" Yu Chihuan was taken aback.

"What my sister told me may be false." Liu Yanjin said in a low voice, then looked at Xiao Qian again: "Brother Xiao must know too, right?"

Xiao Qian nodded: "I have heard about it. This Xue Chang made an agreement with the emperor at the palace banquet, presumably for this matter. You should feel that the emperor has protected him a lot during the martial arts competition these days, and now he After fulfilling the agreement, the emperor will definitely fulfill his wish, and then he will not just be a marquis, but a real—”

Xiao Qian lowered his voice a little more: "The emperor's relatives! Now that Beiman has changed masters, his ambitions have risen again. Uncle is guarding the northern border. You should know better than me. The situation there is getting more and more tense every year. If a war breaks out This is the opportunity for you and me to make contributions. This Xue Chang will become a national defender at a young age, and he will definitely be a figure in the Wulin of the Great Zhou in the future. If we can get his help, we will increase our chances of winning by leading the army. You What do you think?"

Yu Chihuan was thoughtful: "You mean, let's find a chance to get to know him?"

Xiao Qian smiled: "Brother Yuchi, it seems that what Yan Jin said just now is wrong, although you spend every day in the military camp, you still have a bright mind, haha..."

……

One side of the viewing area is discussing how to get acquainted with this martial arts upstart, and the other side, led by Jiang Jun, is disdainful of Xue Chang's victory: "A prince of the rivers and lakes is nothing more than a lord of the rivers and lakes. He can't govern thousands of people, nor can he command thousands of people." Bing, don’t you just have more land and money? What’s the difference with those rich businessmen in the city!”

"Guardian warrior, it sounds nice to say, but he alone can protect my Da Zhou? This is simply a joke!"

……

"Shut up the fuck!" Jiang Jun stared around, until everyone shut up, and then he looked away viciously.

Although he acts arrogantly, he knows in his heart that there are some things that must never be done: A group of idiots, like this, blatantly slander the warriors set up by the late emperor to protect the country, and make fun of the martial arts conference solemnly held by the emperor.

Looking at Xue Chang who was standing on the wooden platform and looking around proudly, Jiang Jun felt uncomfortable all over. He just wanted to turn around and leave this uncomfortable place immediately, but he didn't dare, because Emperor Taixiang was at the top of the city. Leaving in the middle would only increase Emperor Tai Xiang's dislike towards him, so he could only sit still with a suffocated stomach.

On the edge of the viewing area, Dongfang Xiong calmly said to his opponents through sound transmission: "There were rumors that this Dugu Taoist from the Qingcheng faction hurt his internal organs when he was young. It seems to be true. After returning Record this matter in a secret file, it can be used in the future."

"Yes, my lord." The young man's lips twitched, and he also asked curiously through voice transmission: "My lord, what about Xue Chang, what's wrong with his martial arts?"

Dongfang Xiong pondered for a moment, and wanted to say: "This person's internal strength is too strong, and if he is too strong, he may be able to use it." But he remembered Xue Chang's last claw that defeated the head of the Huashan School the day before yesterday, and he hesitated again. It was only at the end that he said: "No matter how powerful his internal strength is, what he cultivates is also acquired internal strength, which can be suppressed by innate true energy."

When the young man heard it, he wanted to complain: Master, it is easy for you to say, but the innate qi is so easy to cultivate. I have cultivated for so many years, and I have not even touched the shadow.

Looking at Xue Chang on the wooden platform, he felt both dissatisfied and longing: he never expected to meet such a powerful young martial artist this time in the Southern Dynasty, and he really wanted to compete with him to see how much he was inferior to him!

Dongfang Xiong had no intention of paying attention to the young people's thoughts. Although Xiao Qian and the others spoke in a low voice just now, he could hear them clearly with his ears. He suddenly understood: No wonder this Xue Chang refused his solicitation, so he wanted to become a big Zhou My son-in-law, it seems that he is absolutely impossible for me to use!

He stared at Xue Chang on the stage, his eyes flashed coldly.

"That's great, Xue Lang won!" Luo Lanmeng cheered for a while, then turned to look at Emperor Tai Xiang, and reminded: "Brother Emperor, Xue Lang won!"

"I have seen it all, and I don't need you to emphasize it." Emperor Taixiang reprimanded with a straight face: "Princess, you are a princess, and you are shouting and screaming in the public. How is it proper? Where are the etiquette you usually teach? Already! If the queen mother is here, you will be severely punished!"

"I... I'm just too happy, I can't restrain it for a while." Luo Lanmeng defended herself: "Besides, the queen mother is not here..."

Emperor Taixiang snorted coldly, and said to Cao Zhong: "Although Xue Chang defeated Daoist Dugu, they both belong to the Bashu martial arts. There is a lesson from the previous match between him and Gu Shijing, the goddess palace. I think this contest may be a bit strange, and we have to wait for it." Arrange another martial arts competition for him, and if he wins again, he can be named a national protector."

"Brother Emperor, I was wrong! I am willing to accept the punishment!" Luo Lanmeng immediately begged: "Xue Lang and Daoist Dugu really tried their best in the martial arts competition. You can see that he is a little out of breath. How can he still have the strength to fight?" Let's fight!"

"Your majesty, what the eldest princess said is correct. Both Master Xue and Daoist Dugu did not hold back, and indeed they did their best." Cao Zhong remonstrated solemnly: "Your majesty, if you really let Master Xue compare One match will not only break the rules you set, but also leave a bad... impression on Master Duhu and Master Xue."

Emperor Taixiang originally wanted to make a joke, to scare Luo Lanmeng, but when he saw Cao Zhong's words were so serious, he felt bored, and said without interest: "Okay, let's recruit Xue Chang."

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

Xue Chang followed Longwei into the corridor of the city gate, then stepped on the stone steps and went up the tower.

Passing by a group of officials, they turned to look at him one after another, and the leader was the middle-aged woman they had seen when they first arrived at the gate of the Goddess Palace.Xue Chang remembered that she was the famous Zhennan King Xiao Lingnan, who was nodding kindly to him at the moment.

Xue Chang hastily cupped his fists to return the salute, but he didn't stop, and strode forward to the center of the tower.

Sitting under the yellow umbrella was the Taixiang Emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe. Beside him were three women with phoenix crowns and xiapei, each of them was as beautiful as a fairy. One of them was Luo Lanmeng, who had a marriage contract with him, and the other two Presumably they are all the emperor's concubines.

The three of them stared at him intently, but Luo Lanmeng's clear eyes showed joy and shyness, while the other two were curious.

"Young man Xue Chang sees the emperor!" Xue Chang bowed respectfully.

Don't look at Emperor Tai Xiang who seemed to be forced to recruit Xue Chang before, when he saw this young man standing in front of him with dignity, his face still showed a look of appreciation: "Xue Chang, do you know?" Why did I invite you here?"
