I, make my own

Chapter 55 Imprisonment, Meng Jiao

Looking at the resolute and calm Xu Dazhi, Li Jiuan's eyes were filled with brilliance.

This Xu Dazhi is not only intelligent and far-sighted, but also decisive and good at making decisions. He really has the demeanor of a general!
"Okay, I hope General Xu can remember today's words."

Seeing a figure from the west rushing towards him, Li Jiu'an didn't say much, just gave a soft warning.

Xu Dazhi clenched his fists, but didn't speak again.

Not long after, the figure rushed to the front, but it was the Captain Jing'an who had appeared at the Yunhua Inn before.

"Report to the Palace Master! The leader of the Nine Nether Demon Sect has falsely said that he wants to unify the Jianghu and gather the power of the Jianghu to fight against the imperial court! However, the righteous people in the Jianghu are unwilling to obey, and now the two sides have already fought!"

A smile flashed in Li Jiu'an's eyes, but his expression turned cold after getting up.

"What a Nine Nether Demon Sect! How dare you speak out against the imperial court, you really don't know how to live or die!"

"There are also those Jianghu people from three mountains and five mountains, knowing that there are ordinary people in the town, and knowing that the imperial court's frontier army is nearby, they dare to fight wantonly. They clearly don't care about human life and the court's law!"

After cursing, Li Jiuan turned to look at Xu Dazhi.

"General Xu, please also order the frontier army to encircle and suppress the followers of the Jiuyou Demon Sect, suppress those who cause chaos in the rivers and lakes, and protect the people in the town!"

"Be obedient!"

Xu Dazhi clasped his fists together, then strode back to the army formation.

"Chuanben will order! Encircle Wenyuan Town, suppress and disarm all those who make trouble in the rivers and lakes. If there is resistance, shoot and kill!"

"promise!"

As five or six orderlies respectfully took orders and rushed to various places to queue up to deliver military orders, the army quickly set off.

Among them, the two-winged cavalry took the lead, pulling out a long arc from both sides, and surrounded them towards the west of Wenyuan Town.

……

Ask Yuanzhen.

Chaotic fights are constantly staged in various parts of the town, and scenes of broken houses through walls are not uncommon.

Corpses were laid out in every corner, and the sound of fighting was still heard, occasionally mixed with wailing and desperate screams before dying.

The original Yunhua Inn had already been reduced to ruins at this time, and most of the surrounding buildings also collapsed.

Different from other directions, as the most central battlefield, the atmosphere here is quiet and weird at the moment.

Looking at the dead bodies of Chang Jin and Yu Huan, and looking at Shang Kewan standing on a wooden beam with his hands behind his back, all the people in the surrounding Jianghu felt chills in their hearts. Trembling slightly.

The leader of the Demon Cult was too terrifying. Five ninth-rank powerhouses including Chang Jin and Yu Huan besieged the opponent, but instead of hurting the opponent, they were killed one after another!
In their cognition, even Xie Changfeng, the suzerain of Shang Fazong, may not be able to achieve this step!
As for the battles of other ninth-rank powerhouses, the Nine Nether Demon Cult only paid the price of two serious injuries, but took the lives of three opponents!

Now, although their numbers still have an absolute advantage and they have been chasing the other members of the Nine Nether Demon Sect to fight, but in the duel at the Ninth Rank level, they have already been completely defeated!

"Master..."

In the depressing silence, a figure suddenly approached below Shang Kewan, and nodded towards Shang Kewan.

Shang Kewan frowned slightly, revealing a look of unwillingness.

After a little hesitation, Shang Kewan uttered a word in a cold voice.

"withdraw!"

"Yes!"

The order to retreat was issued quickly, but no one dared to stop it near the central battlefield, because Shang Kewan had been watching there quietly.

It wasn't until the masters and elites of the Nine Nether Demon Sect were almost withdrawn that Shang Kewan turned around and leaped away.

After the surviving rank-[-] powerhouses looked at each other, one of them spoke sullenly.

"The thieves from the Nine Nether Demon Sect have not run away completely, and you should spread out and hunt them down. You must kill them all!"

"it is good!"

Most of the people in the field were suffocating, and they didn't dare to vent their anger before, but now that the Variety Witch and the Nine Nether Demon Cult masters have left, what are they afraid of?
However, not long after, the imperial army suddenly rushed in from all directions, and as soon as they came, they baptized with dense arrow rain, causing a lot of damage to the people in the Jianghu who were caught off guard.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the army began to shout while continuing to advance.

A group of people from all walks of life did not dare to fight directly with the imperial army, not to mention that most of the high-level officials were killed and injured, and they lost their backbone.

Therefore, under the bloody warning of the army, the chaotic fighting scene was quickly brought under control, and one after another Jianghu people walked out from all corners dejectedly, and were disarmed and detained in unwillingness and resentment.

Half an hour later, the entire Wenyuan Town returned to tranquility, and the few surviving Rank [-] powerhouses were also brought to Xu Dazhi and Li Jiuan.

As soon as these people saw Xu Dazhi and Li Jiu'an with calm faces, they became very angry.

One of them stared at Xu Dazhi with his neck straightened, his eyes spitting fire, and he roared angrily through gritted teeth.

"General Xu! Why did you slaughter my disciples for no reason?!"

"No reason?"

Xu Dazhi sneered, his eyes glowing coldly.

"It's all right for you Jianghu people to fight in the wild, but now you dare to harm the people in the town, causing many people to die miserably! How dare you say that there is no reason for such a heinous act?!"

The man's complexion changed, and he blushed and denied with a thick neck: "General Xu, don't want to spout blood! We are knights in the rivers and lakes who uphold justice, how can we kill the people? Even if there are people who die unjustly, they are also the thieves of the Jiuyou Demon Sect killed!"

"Maintain justice? Return knights?"

Li Jiu'an sneered, and said with a serious face: "Do you think that the Jing'an Division will not be able to find out who killed the people who died tragically?"

The man opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Because he knows that there are always some evil-minded people in all sects and factions, and it is inevitable that there will be accidental killings after killing red-eyes in chaotic battles.

If Division Jing'an really wants to investigate carefully, he will be able to find out.

"Then you can't kill randomly, right?"

At this time, another person spoke up.

"Who said we killed indiscriminately?"

Li Jiu'an glared at the man, and said with a sneer, "We killed not only the executioners who harmed the people, but also the demon cult thieves who blasphemed against the court!"

"The master of this hall has received information that there are a large number of thieves from the Nine Nether Demon Sect in the town, so naturally he will call in the imperial army to encircle and suppress them."

"It's a pity that those demon cult thieves disguised themselves as various people from the world, and it was impossible to distinguish them for a while."

"But after discovering this, didn't the army stop the rain of arrows?"

"you!"

Someone stared and wanted to say something more, but Li Jiuan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt.

"Come on, you are not a good guy! Disregarding the life and death of the people, fighting in the town, and calling yourself a righteous knight? Oh, ridiculous!"

"According to the law of the imperial court, if you wantonly fight in the common people's residential areas, you will all be imprisoned for three to half a year."

"During the period, the imperial court will strictly investigate the whole story. If the people are not harmed, they will be released after the term of imprisonment expires. As for the murderers who hurt or even killed the people, they will naturally be punished as they should be!"

"However, in view of the fact that the Jianghu forces involved in the turmoil occupy more than half of the Dazhou Jianghu and involve too much, in order to reassure the relevant people, each party can choose a disciple who is sure that he has never harmed the people to report back."

Hearing that everyone was going to be imprisoned, the faces of those leaders turned green.

However, the imperial court does have relevant laws, and now there is no leader in the arena, and it is difficult to turn around in a mess.

Therefore, even if they were unwilling, they had to hold their noses and admit it.

……

September [-]th, Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

Under the ivy pavilion, Zhou Xin was playing chess with an old man with white beard.

The old man's name is Meng Jiao, and he is the head of the Great Zhou Academy, and one of the old ninth-rank powerhouses of the Great Zhou.

This person devoted himself to preaching and getting a job, stayed away from court disputes, and had many peaches and plums, so he was not persecuted.

"Master, do you think there are gaps in the teaching system of Da Zhou today?"

Zhou Xin casually settled a chess piece while asking casually.

Meng Jiao's hand that was about to drop the ball paused, and then slowly dropped it after two breaths.

"Consummation is hard to find. Although the veteran has been trying to improve the education system over the years, the more he studies, the more he feels that his vision is narrow and unsatisfactory in many aspects."

"Perhaps the old minister has passed the year of knowing his destiny, so it's hard to be lean again, alas..."

"To tell you the truth, the old minister has also been reflecting recently. Maybe it's time to give way to the brave young man..."

Zhou Xin looked at Meng Jiao strangely, and then smiled dumbly.

"It seems that the master did not understand what I meant."

Meng Jiao couldn't help being taken aback, he thought His Majesty wanted him to abdicate, but it seems he was mistaken.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Meng Jiaohu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Your Majesty means martial arts?"

Zhou Xin glanced at Meng Jiao approvingly, and nodded.

"That's right. Civil and martial arts are complementary to each other. Without the foundation of martial arts in the imperial court, the world will be in chaos."

Meng Jiao's eyes lit up first, then he smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, although civil and military are supplementary, there is a big difference between the two."

"Different from Wen Dao's paper, ink, brush, inkstone, eight books and nine classics, Martial Dao needs too many things, and the price is too high."

"One is the measuring scale. Although the cost of a single unit is relatively small, it would cost an astronomical figure to configure uniformly in all colleges and universities in Dazhou."

"Even if the imperial court spares no expense, this is only the first step."

"The two are the consumption of medicine, meat, etc. Martial arts requires daily exercise, which requires a lot of meat and medicine."

"However, children from poor families can't afford it at all, and ordinary families can't support it for a long time. If the court is responsible for solving it, I'm afraid the treasury will be dragged down in a few years."

"The three are also the most important link, and that is martial arts and martial arts."

"Leaving aside the question of the suitability of martial arts and martial arts, the scarcity of high-level martial arts alone is the biggest problem."

"For these high-level martial arts and martial arts, all forces cherish themselves, and non-core credible people will not give them."

"If only Huang-level and a small amount of Xuan-level martial arts are distributed, not to mention that those with good aptitude will be restricted in their future, and those from wealthy families will not choose to send their children to the academy."

"And these restrictions are also the reason why there are so many masters in the world."

"Even if they only absorb a very small part of the people with high qualifications, it is much better than the imperial court, especially the younger generation."
