After hearing that "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden" was indeed arranged by the emperor and the court, Wei Jing was not surprised, but when he heard the answer from King Liang Xian himself, he still felt as if a big stone had been put down in his heart, and he finally felt more at ease.
King Liang Xian continued: "The emperor's intention at that time was that we hold a well-known martial arts event in the martial arts world and attract experts from various factions to participate. The purpose is to understand as much as possible who are the top figures in the martial arts world today." , and how many hidden forces there are. Looking at the world, the martial arts people are just a minority among all living beings, but they all have unique skills and use force to violate the ban. If they are left alone, it will always be a problem for the court. It's like they have something stuck in their throats, so we need "The Return of Ten Thousand Martial Arts" to let these people come to the surface on their own and show off their own martial arts levels."
At this time, King Liang Xian stopped talking, and the four of Wei Jing fell into deep thought. After a while, Ling Xueyi asked first: "If it is just to do a population census for Wulin, it would be too much effort and the imperial court must have more people." Backhand?"
King Liang Xian nodded and said: "Exactly, so the imperial court secretly supported Ji Canran and helped him establish Tianji Pavilion in order to let the martial arts people deal with the martial arts people, and then let the princes from all over the country fully assist in the "Wan Wu Gui Zang", Promoting the participation of more sects, and absorbing masters for his own use during the several years of the event, my ability to cooperate with people from Hidden Fish Court and Wuyou Valley is naturally the work of Tianji Pavilion."
Ling Xueyi asked: "So, is it the emperor's secret order to check out the forces in the martial arts world and then select the available materials for your own use?"
King Liang Xian was thoughtful, and after a while he said: "Yes, that's what the emperor said at that time."
Wei Jing frowned at this time and asked: "These are what the emperor said at that time, so what is it that the emperor did not say at that time?"
King Liang Xian's expression calmed down and became more gloomy and deep, as if he was thinking about whether he should say the next words. Wei Jing knew that the matter was crucial, so he did not rush him and just waited quietly for him to make a decision.
After a long period of unbearable silence, King Liang Xian finally spoke: "We may not be sure of what the emperor didn't say, but I believe that the emperor wants everyone to get involved in the martial arts, but actually he wants to see which prince is sincere. When doing things for him, who would be perfunctory, or even worse..."
Wei Jing said: "Who else is secretly recruiting talents in the martial arts world, recruiting troops, and plotting against evil?"
King Liang Xian nodded slowly and continued: "I believe that among the princes, there must be some who hold the same views as me. For example, King Shu Zhao who is far away in Chengdu. The king is both wise and brave, and he must have great talents and strategies. He must also have something. aware."
Wei Jing muttered: "So the emperor not only wants to thoroughly investigate the current martial arts forces and use the masters for his own use, but also secretly observes the princes and eradicates the evil seedlings as soon as possible. "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors" is actually a stone that kills two birds with one stone to consolidate the imperial power. plan."
At this time, Yuqin also said: "So, regardless of whether "The Return of Ten Thousand Military Forces" is finally completed as a book, as long as this matter can continue, it has actually achieved its purpose for the emperor?"
He Wanci was indignant and said: "Just to consolidate the imperial power, we have to create so many disputes in the martial arts world. "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors" has only been running for three years. How many sects have suffered as a result?"
Wei Jing thought of the Shangguan Family, Wuyou Valley, Xiyun Sect, and then Qihuang Villa and Chengyun Village. Regardless of whether these forces were indirect or direct, it was indeed because of "Wanwu Guizang" and Tianji Pavilion that they suffered misfortunes.
King Liang Xian was unmoved and said matter-of-factly: "No matter what you think, people in the martial arts world are just a drop in the ocean among the common people in the world. For the royal family, as long as they sacrifice such a small number of people, the world can be stable." Taiping, that’s a perfect deal.”
Everyone was silent for a while again, each with their own thoughts. Seeing that no one spoke, King Liang Xian asked, "I have answered your questions truthfully, but you still won't let me go?"
Wei Jing said: "After I finish asking what I need to ask, I will let the prince and Mr. Wei return home safely, but before that, I have something to ask the prince for help."
King Liang Xian was a little dissatisfied and said angrily: "I have made a lot of concessions today, and you still want to make further progress?"
Wei Jing did not answer this sentence, but continued: "Although the incident at Qihuang Villa and Chengyun Village was not the prince's original intention, many of them died unexpectedly because of the prince's troops."
King Liang Xian said angrily: "So, you still want me to pay with my life?"
Wei Jing said: "That's not the case. First of all, even if I kill the prince at this moment, it will be of no use. Secondly, the prince is not the mastermind. I really don't want to cause another murder. I want to ask the prince to arrange his men immediately after he returns to the house. , cooperate with local officials at all levels in Jingxiang and start to deal with the refugee problem in Jingxiang area."
King Xian of Liang seemed not to have expected that Wei Jing would make such a request, and asked curiously: "Refugees in Jingxiang?"
Wei Jing nodded and said: "Yes, there are a large number of refugees gathered in the Jingshan area. They live in poverty, live in the open, and there are many people, but the officials turn a blind eye to them. I would like to ask the prince to use the resources at hand to find ways to improve their lives. "
Yuqin also said at this time: "Besides, they gather people into bandits from time to time in the Jingxiang area, which does cause a lot of harm to the local residents."
King Xian of Liang was silent, seeming to be thinking about what the two men said. Wei Jing saw something was going on and said: "Previously, all the righteous men in Chengyun Village were often active in the Jingshan area, giving money and efforts in order to improve the situation." The livelihood of the refugees, and besides, Prince Xian’s palace is in Anlu, not far from Xiangyang, so it’s not too much to ask the prince to take care of the local people.”
King Liang Xian didn't say a word, just thinking deeply. After a long while, he finally spoke, but he asked: "Who are you?"
Just when Wei Jing was about to stop answering this question and collect his thoughts to ask other questions, the diner outside the small temple suddenly shouted: "Second Master, someone..." The shouting suddenly stopped, followed by There was a "bump", as if something heavy fell to the ground. The four of them were immediately alert and each picked up their weapons. Wei Jing rushed out of the door first without saying a word!
As soon as he went out, he saw the diner of the Sima family lying in a pool of blood. There were more than ten people standing outside. The first three people were the heads of the Tibetan Fish Courtyard that Wei Jing saw at the foot of Chengyun Village at that time. with his two attendants.
Zangyu Tingshou looked at Wei Jing for a while, his eyes were as cold as frost, and he didn't say a word. Wei Jing saw that there were many people on the other side, not to mention Zangyu Tingshou. He had two followers, a man and a woman, with similar martial arts attainments. Zhanru is quite good.
Such a battle was definitely not something that Wei Jing and the others could handle. At that moment, Wei Jing thought about lightning, knowing that he could only delay the situation at this time, hoping that Ling Xueyi would notice it in time and lead the rest of the people to escape from this place first.
Wei Jing forced himself to calm down and asked with a smile: "This place is full of smoke and grass, and there are few people. What kind of wind brought the head of Zangyu Court here?"
The head of Zangyu Court was indifferent, and just gave orders to himself, saying: "Juque, take people to capture the people in the temple. Shengxia, this person is not bad at strength. You stay and annihilate the enemy with me." .”
The male swordsman named "Ju Que" nodded and led the others to the small temple. Seeing that delaying was ineffective, Wei Jing cursed inwardly and immediately used his long sword to slash at Ju Que!
Zangyuting had quick eyes and quick hands, and he looked like a ghost. He stopped in front of Wei Jing in a blink of an eye and blocked Wei Jing's sword move with his sword. Wei Jing knew that he was powerless to stop the people of Zangyuting anymore, so he could only shout One voice: "Fourth sister! Take them away first!!!"
I don't know if Ling Xueyi heard it inside.
At this time, the female swordsman "Sheng Xia" also joined the battle with her sword, and the two of them fought Wei Jing with both swords! Although Wei Jing was fighting against two masters alone at this moment, he still did not give up hope. While moving his sword, he thought about any opportunities he could take advantage of. At the same time, he smiled and said: "My martial arts skills are so so-so, but the leader of Hidden Fish Court has to fight two against one. This is really flattering!”
The head of Zangyu Court said calmly: "Zangyu Court only cares about whether it can kill people, not about fairness."
Although Wei Jing refused to admit defeat, the sword technique of Zang Yu Ting Shou was treacherous and unpredictable, and Sheng Xia was light and changeable. Wei Jing struggled to fight and retreated, so he could only use Taoism's "Superior Sword" frequently. Use tactics to persevere in order to turn things around.
The three of them exchanged dozens of moves. As Wei Jing fought and retreated, the three of them had unknowingly arrived at the edge of a cliff. They saw that the two opponents were advancing step by step with almost no flaws in their sword movements.
Wei Jing knew that he had come to a critical moment of life and death. At the moment, he could only concentrate on his moves and focus on the long sword in his hand. As time gradually passed, Wei Jing's mind gradually became clear, and he swung the long sword in his hand freely, making sword moves in an endless stream!
