There are many kinds of battles between rivers and lakes.
Most rivers and lakes fights are for personal gain. There are many interests in the rivers and lakes, so there will always be endless battles in the rivers and lakes.
It is precisely because of the constant fighting that the rivers and lakes will last forever. In the arena, it is precisely because of the battle that it becomes infinitely exciting. The world of rivers and lakes can never be peaceful, because people in rivers and lakes are inherently restless.
However, among the many battles in the world, there are still some different kinds of battles. In this type of fight, interests are secondary, and the more important thing is righteousness. In the face of major issues of right and wrong, people must not stand on the wrong side or take the wrong path. A person must first understand the great righteousness, and then he can gain the respect of others. Of course, even if it concerns the righteousness of the world, it mostly starts with interests. It's just that this kind of interest is not the selfish interests of Jianghu people, but the more noble national interests.
The chivalrous man is kindhearted. A true chivalrous person should pity all the people in the world and always put national justice first.
In the arena, most of the battles between warriors are for personal gain. Only a small number of people will put national justice first. For example, dealing with the demon sect, or dealing with those bad guys who harm the poor and weak people, is naturally a matter of justice. If you deliberately provoke a fight just for your own personal interests, then such a fight will naturally go against the justice of the world.
Ren Xiaoyao led the heroes this time and then launched an anti-Japanese rally, which was of course a matter of national justice.
Because Japanese pirates at sea have existed since the Japanese invaders came to China one after another. It's just that the Japanese pirates at that time just mingled among the Japanese refugees and secretly did some bad things, robbing homes and homes. Later, as the Japanese pirates gradually became more powerful, and the officers and soldiers were unable to resist, the Japanese pirates' behavior became more and more arrogant, and they even dared to go ashore to plunder with great fanfare.
In the martial arts world in the south of the Yangtze River, there have always been warriors who resisted on their own initiative. However, because they were not integrated and the Japanese pirates always came and went without a trace, those sects that resisted were often defeated by the Japanese pirates one by one, making it impossible to defend against them.
Today is the eighth day of October.
The anti-Japanese conference has been postponed for many days just to wait for the arrival of several big shots.
Fortunately, the big shots that Ren Xiaoyao was looking forward to have arrived one after another, and the anti-Japanese conference can finally be held as scheduled. It's just that Master Mei Yun, the head of the Emei Sect, went crazy and jumped off a cliff in the early morning. Her life and death are still unknown, but it still caused a lot of sensation.
Ren Xiaoyao was the initiator of this anti-Japanese congress, so it was natural that he would preside over the anti-Japanese congress. Eunuch Shi from Dongchang came to serve as the supervisor on behalf of the imperial court, and also to make the officers and soldiers work harder, so Eunuch Shi naturally chaired the anti-Japanese meeting with Ren Xiaoyao. The fifth line, Hu Daiwei and Kuangxiao Yuege finally came back as scheduled, which gave Ren Xiaoyao more confidence. After all, Ren Xiaoyao still knew nothing about the legendary top master of the Fire Evil Sect in Japan.
Since the immortal mother-in-law said that the Laughing Moon Song was the key to dealing with the Fire Evil Sect, she was certainly not wrong. However, until now, Huo Xie Zong, the legendary leader of the Japanese pirates, has not really shown his face in the world.
Xiaoyao Sect, Tang Sect, Shaolin Sect, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, Huashan Sect, Kunlun Sect and Songshan Sect, these eight sects can be regarded as representative of the famous and upright sects in the world. Except for the Qingcheng sect and the Kongtong sect, almost all the famous sects in the world came. The remaining sects that did not come are considered to be on the opposite side of the righteous path of martial arts.
Furthermore, it doesn't actually matter whether those small sects are here or not. Driven by righteousness, most of the righteous people in the martial arts world are fairly well-versed and do not stand on the opposite side of the righteous path in the martial arts world.
Among them, the poisonous beast gorge and the temple must be excluded.
Dushouxia has always been at odds with the Tang Sect and Xiaoyao Sect, and has always been deliberately trying to defeat these two factions. The current anti-Japanese conference was initiated by the Tang Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, so Guidaozi would naturally not participate. Moreover, he stood on the opposite side of the righteous way of martial arts, and even cooperated with the Japanese pirates, wanting to be an open enemy of the righteous way of martial arts.
However, the fact that Poisonous Beast Gorge is inconsistent with the righteous path of martial arts is not just a matter of a day or two, but is something that everyone in the world knows. As for the attitude of the temple, it is somewhat ambiguous. Judging from the current situation, the temple seems to have joined forces with the Japanese pirates, but the temple has not publicly stated its position. Obviously, as the new Lord of the Temple, Sheng Zhiqiang is still afraid of the power of the court, at least for the time being. The original decline of the temple was due to the suppression of the court. The temple was originally based in the capital, so it naturally did not dare to openly oppose the imperial court. However, Sheng Zhiqiang obviously did not want to be just an outsider, so when the anti-Japanese conference was about to begin, he secretly led his disciples to Jiangnan, and had been secretly instigating some conspiracies.
The anti-Japanese conference had begun, and Ren Xiaoyao was naturally the first to speak. He first expressed his gratitude to the martial arts heroes for their support, and then explained the significance of this anti-Japanese conference. In addition to those well-known and decent sects, small sects such as the Dragon Sword Society and the Ghost Head Gang naturally had no choice but to go along with it.
Tang Zhong was still hiding among the crowd, and was still wearing a broken straw hat, as if he was afraid that people who knew him would find out his true identity.
In fact, among all these people, only Master Wei Nian of the Shaolin Sect should know the story behind Tang Zhong. However, the master was an expert and knew that Tang Zhong had his own sorrow, so he did not forcefully expose it. Lu Jun, the remaining ghost head gang, although he felt that Tang Zhong's behavior was a bit strange, he still couldn't figure out what Tang Zhong was doing. What's more, since Lu Jun met Tang Zhong, Tang Zhong's behavior has been weird and weird, and Lu Jun is completely unpredictable. He has suffered huge losses from Tang Zhong many times, so he will not easily provoke this evil star.
In this way, Tang Zhong can still hide among the crowd and temporarily hide his identity.
However, among the many people in the martial arts world, only one person dared to be sure that Tang Zhong was among these martial arts people. This person is Tang Zhong's wife Wei Yan. Because she has already met Tang Zhong, she is naturally sure that Tang Zhong is hiding among the crowd. Although she did not see where Tang Zhong was hiding, she was certain that Tang Zhong must be among the crowd.
Tang Zhong just hid in the dark, looking at Wei Yan in Tang Sect, but didn't pay attention to what Ren Xiaoyao said above. Tang Zhong just felt that the thunderous cheers of the martial arts heroes seemed to be responding to Ren Xiaoyao's call. Of course, with Ren Xiaoyao's current appeal in the martial arts world, it is already very good to be able to summon many martial arts comrades in the martial arts world to fight against the Japanese pirates. After all, the current Xiaoyao Sect is no longer as strong as before.
After Ren Xiaoyao finished speaking, Eunuch Shi and Mr. Hong also said a few words. It is nothing more than a call for everyone to work together to fight against the Japanese pirates. As for the commander-in-chief of the army, Mr. Chu Weichu, he himself is not talkative. He is just a general who knows how to lead troops to fight, so he has nothing to say.
After Mr. Hong finished speaking, Ren Xiaoyao assigned tasks to the major Jianghu sects one after another. Many large ships have been built in Xiaoyao Water Pavilion. Xiaoyao Sect, Tang Sect, Shaolin Sect, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, Huashan Sect, Kunlun Sect and Songshan Sect, these eight sects, at this time, all received one or two large ships according to the number of people. Moreover, the many small sects are also sandwiched between the eight sects, and they must go with one of the famous and upright sects, so that the strengths of the various factions will be balanced.
Ren Xiaoyao already knew that the Japanese pirates' lair was on Sanshen Island in the sea. These days, Xiaoyao Sect has also sent spies one after another to find out the true location of Sanshen Island. Therefore, the real purpose of this anti-Japanese conference is no longer limited to defense, but to attack Sangami Island on a large scale.
As long as Sanshen Island, the home base of Japanese pirates, is conquered, Japanese pirates will have no foothold along the coast. Even if the Japanese pirates cannot be wiped out, they can certainly be driven back to Japan, so that the Japanese pirates can no longer cause trouble along the Jiangnan coast for a short period of time.
In the past few days, those who have come to the martial arts world in Xiaoxiyaoxge, those who are not good at it have already learned it, and those who are good at it have learned it more skillfully.
Although they want to attack Sanshen Island, they cannot attack rashly for the time being. The so-called strong defense does not lead to offense. You must first defend well before you have enough strength to counterattack.
Therefore, before the anti-Japanese conference was held, various officers and soldiers along the coast had already been reorganized and the defenses along the coast were greatly strengthened. Moreover, the new army of General Chu, which is the main force of the anti-Japanese army, has been assembled outside Hangzhou Prefecture, and is led by the two naval commanders of the Kong family. As long as the order is given, it can be ready to go out at any time.
The anti-Japanese conference was in full swing, but Tang Zhong had no intention of taking care of it. He saw another very familiar voice among the crowd.
This person is a man, two or three years younger than himself.
He is dressed in white, has a sword in his hand, has long hair hanging down his shoulders, and has a fresh yet masculine face. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you can't help but feel moved after watching it, wondering why there are such beautiful men in the world?
The handsome people in this world, whether male or female, are always eye-catching. Of course, it is actually much more difficult for men to be recognized by most people for their appearance than for women. Only if a man is truly amazingly good-looking can he be truly praised and recognized by the world.
Because most people's recognition of male beauty still comes from masculinity, not handsome appearance. If a man is too handsome, he will appear less masculine.
But there are indeed very few men in the world who are as handsome as Wu Xing, who are both unparalleled in beauty and yet still masculine.
Tang Zhong looked at this man and felt that he was extremely kind, even kinder than his wife Wei Yan. Although he could not recall the past of this man, he had already remembered that Master Wei Nian once said that he had a sworn brother, the fifth line of Jian Ying, who was an extremely handsome man.
Tang Zhonghao affirmed without hesitation that the person he saw now was his sworn brother, the fifth line of Jian Ying.
