The martial arts conference was approaching, and the court finally issued a notice and briefly talked about the holding of the martial arts conference.
Needless to say, time and place must be explained.
The time is the 25th of this month, which is October 25th.
As for the location, everyone was a little surprised that it was actually in the martial arts arena of the Capital Temple, one of the four major families.
This location itself is a bit strange, and it naturally makes many heroes puzzled, and even some timid people are afraid of it. Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that the Guanyin case was most likely behind the scenes by the Lord of the Temple, Sheng Lingren. In this way, Sheng Ling should have been an imperial prisoner long ago. However, the imperial court remained completely motionless and did not attack the temple or Sheng Ling people at all. Anyone with a discerning eye in the world will know the mystery at a glance.
The Holy Temple dominates the important territory of the capital, and secretly colludes with Dongchang. There are many hidden lines underground, and its power in the capital is actually more terrifying than the imperial court. In fact, the emperor and Prince Xiao didn't want to touch Sheng Lingren, but they simply didn't dare. Although there has been no conflict between the imperial court and the temple for the time being, it does not mean that the conflicts between them have been resolved, nor does it mean that there are no conflicts between them.
Contradictions have always existed and will always exist.
The reason why there was no explosion for the time being was mainly because there was no strong enough fuse to detonate it. Once there is a disturbance or something unexpected happens, the relationship between the two families will inevitably break down, and a sword fight is inevitable.
There were many irreconcilable conflicts between the imperial court and the temple, but the imperial court chose the temple as the venue for the martial arts competition. In the eyes of many people in the world, it seemed that the imperial court was deliberately trying to cause trouble and took the opportunity to attack the temple. The temple is so prosperous that people are making trouble. Moreover, many people have already discovered that the temple has gathered all the disciples and affiliated sects in the capital. There are not ten thousand people in the capital, but at least eight thousand in secret. If the imperial court sends another large army to intervene, it will no longer be a martial arts conference, but a war at all.
Many heroes in the world like to watch the excitement, but they do not want to get involved in the war.
However, this latest announcement of the martial arts conference is not only hugely controversial, there is another point that also surprised all the heroes.
Since the location has been chosen in the temple, there is actually nothing to say, so the person who is in charge of coordination is naturally the master of the temple, Sheng Lingren. Even if this person is not from Sheng Ling, he should at least be from the temple, so that makes sense.
However, the person appointed by the imperial court to handle and coordinate this matter was not from Shengling at all, nor from the temple, nor even had anything to do with the temple.
This person is actually from the fifth line.
The notice clearly stated that the fifth line was appointed by the imperial court as a fourth-rank Ouchi secret agent to take full charge of this matter.
In this way, the problem becomes more obvious and serious.
The relationship between the fifth line and Sheng Lingren is not very good, so how should he coordinate with the temple to arrange this martial arts conference? And will Sheng Lingren give Fifth Line this face? Although the Fifth Line is slightly famous in the martial arts world, he is still a young junior. There are many senior martial arts experts coming to this martial arts conference. Will they give the Fifth Line face? To all these questions, no one can give a definite answer.
There are even smarter people who wonder whether the imperial court had already obtained the consent of the Shengling people in the temple when announcing the location of the martial arts conference.
If the court finds a notice saying that a martial arts competition will be held in the temple, but Sheng Ling doesn't know about it yet, the problem will become even more serious.
Also, the identity of the fifth line is that of a fourth-rank imperial spy, and he does not present himself as a simple person in the world. This arrangement also has quite a few problems.
After reading this notice, heroes from all walks of life felt more and more that the water in this martial arts competition was a bit deep, and many people were already a little confused.
No one knows what the court thinks.
No one knows what King Xiao thinks about it.
No one knows what to think about the fifth line either.
No one knows what Sheng Lingren thinks.
With so many unstable factors, can such a martial arts conference really be held peacefully? Heroes from all walks of life expressed some doubts.
However, one thing is for sure. This martial arts conference will definitely not be ordinary. Even if it causes a sensation like the previous Taishan Conference, it is not impossible.
In the temple, since the eldest son came back, he has been hiding at home almost all the time. He spends his days drinking and drinking with countless beautiful women, enjoying the clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain, and the endless romance. I don't care about the affairs of my sect at all.
Of course, this is also related to Sheng Zhiqiang's messing up the Guanyin case. Since then, Sheng Lingren has paid more attention to his adopted son Sheng Moming and left everything to him. Regarding this matter, Sheng Zhiqiang felt that he had fallen out of favor and was even more unhappy. This was probably the main reason why he was obsessed with Fengyue all day long!
He is Sheng Lingren's biological son, and Sheng Moming is just an adopted son. However, his biological son is not as favored as an adopted son who was picked up. How can people bear this?
When the court announced the news, Sheng Moming was also shocked when he learned about it. Even he didn't even know what was going on.
Sheng inexplicably felt more and more strange, so he quickly returned to the temple and went straight to his father to ask.
Sheng Lingren was not in the main hall at this time, but in the inner hall drinking, watching dancing, chatting and laughing with beautiful women. It seems that biological children are biological children after all, and the habits of Sheng Ling and Sheng Zhiqiang are indeed more similar. It's just that Sheng Lingren clearly understands when to be romantic and when to do business; while Sheng Zhiqiang's heart is still romantic, and he doesn't know what business is.
As soon as Sheng inexplicably entered the inner hall, he directly interrupted Sheng Lingren and the beauties with his palm, and then said: "You all stand down."
Now, in the temple, only Sheng Moming dared to directly interrupt Sheng Lingren's elegance. If others still dare to do this, they will be scolded at worst, or killed at worst. Even if the eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang dares to interrupt Sheng Lingren in such a situation, he will definitely not get a good look from Sheng Lingren.
However, Sheng Moming now has such power. Not only that, he also dares to directly rebuke all these beauties.
This is his privilege, a privilege given to him by his father.
All the beautiful singers left together, but there was still one person who did not leave.
She may not need to leave, or she may have unfinished business.
At this time, Sheng Lingren was lying on a large mink chair, covered with a wide and large red carved brocade quilt. On his left, there was a beautiful girl like a flower leaning against her head. Exposed, the man was hidden in the brocade quilt, looking at Sheng inexplicably with charming eyes.
Sheng naturally knew this beauty inexplicably, and it was none other than Xiao Yurong. She was blushing a little and feeling deeply tired. She just rested her head on Sheng Lingren's left shoulder. She didn't want to lift it up at all, but she stretched out a jade hand from the brocade quilt and took a glass of wine to feed Sheng Lingren herself. People drink.
Sheng Lingren also had only his head exposed, lying on his back enjoying himself. His face was also flushed and tired, but he seemed to be slightly drunk after drinking too much strong liquor.
Inexplicably, Sheng still felt a little embarrassed when he saw such a scene. If there is nothing important, he usually doesn't come here. However, Sheng Moming obviously didn't have time to pay attention to these locks. He only glanced at Xiao Yurong with a sharp look, as if to say, "Why don't you go down?" However, Xiao Yurong didn't seem to care. She ignored Sheng Moming at all and still just fed Sheng Lingren to drink.
"Yu Rong is not an outsider. If you have anything to do with Ming'er, just tell me!" Sheng Lingren was obviously very smart. Seeing Sheng's inexplicable reluctance to speak, he quickly understood what he meant.
"Father, the imperial court issued a notice today saying that the martial arts conference will be held in our temple. Did father know about this?" Sheng asked inexplicably.
"I know, of course I know. Eunuch Shi has informed me a long time ago?" Sheng Lingren replied lazily.
"But father doesn't think this is very inappropriate?" Sheng asked inexplicably and worriedly.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what can we do? After I got the news, I have been thinking, what is the intention of the emperor and Prince Xiao to arrange this deliberately? But on the other hand, if I think about it, since the martial arts conference is held on our territory, then On the contrary, it's better, we can just control everything." Sheng Lingren said with a smile.
Xiao Yurong saw that Sheng Lingren had been talking to Sheng inexplicably, so she had to take a glass of wine and drink it herself. It's flirtatious, and it's obviously meant to be teasing.
Sheng inexplicably broke in a little recklessly just now, and he was a little embarrassed when he saw that the two of them hadn't had time to separate. Now that Xiao Yurong was picking her up again, she naturally felt even more uncomfortable. Her whole body couldn't help but start to heat up, and she really wanted to leave here right away.
Sheng inexplicably did not dare to look at Xiao Yurong anymore, and just lowered his head and said, "But now that the court has asked the fifth line to take full responsibility for this matter, what should we do? Please ask father to make it clear."
"Now that you've come, let's settle down. Ming'er, do you know the fifth line?" Sheng Lingren asked softly.
"I've met him a few times, but I'm not too familiar with him." Sheng replied inexplicably.
"That's just right. You will be responsible for our side. You can discuss with the Fifth Bank and do whatever you want. It's all up to you." Sheng Lingren suddenly said in a commanding tone.
"Isn't father afraid of making mistakes?" Sheng asked inexplicably.
"Don't worry! I have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. Everything is ready, all I need is the east wind. Since they want to come like this, it's up to them. It's still unclear who will win! Just go and do the work." After Sheng Lingren finished speaking, he immediately pulled up the carved brocade quilt, covering only him and Xiao Yurong. Then they were rolled over by the waves, and there were constant sounds of laughter and joy.
Sheng got his father's order inexplicably and couldn't stay here, so he immediately turned around and went out. Behind him, Xiao Yurong's laughter came louder, with great joy.
