"It should be right. I heard it is similar to the General Military Command." Xue Chang Shenqing whispered in a serious expression: "It is said that this person has great martial arts skills, and he is probably better than Wumei and Wuqi, the two Zen masters!"

"It's impossible!" Guo Huaishou couldn't help but shout, immediately attracting the attention of people around him, and even Dongfang Xiong cast his eyes from a distance.

Xue Chang sat upright, his lips moved slightly, and said to Guo Huaishou with a voice transmission: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I will know in the future that he may become a trouble for our Great Zhou!"

Seeing that Xue Chang was speaking so seriously, Guo Huaishou looked at Dongfang Xiong half-believingly, but saw the other party laughing at the young man beside him. The power he had loved before also disappeared, as if it was an illusion. He couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable about Xue Chang's words.

At this time, a loud shout sounded in the center of the arena: "The martial arts competition begins!"

On the Pyeongchang city tower, Emperor Taixiang looked down at the square. The players in the first round of the competition were already standing on the wooden platform. He looked carefully for a while and couldn't help asking: "Was that Xue Chang still the same as yesterday, he played in the second round?"

"Yes, the emperor." Cao Zhong, the commander of the Long Guard standing beside him, replied: "His opponent is Ba Buyun, the elder of the Yandang Sect."

"Will he be Xue Chang's opponent?"

"Emperor, the old minister believes that except for Yang Yuanming from the Huashan Sect, who may be able to fight against him, others in the Ding group will be unable to stop him."

Emperor Taixiang nodded, Cao Zhong's answer was as expected. His eyes moved south and finally saw Xue Chang's figure in the rest area, and said softly: "Old Cao, do you know that Xue Chang's underage apprentices actually defeated Funiuzhai on the field of Cuju Club yesterday!"

"The old minister already knows it." Cao Zhong replied: "As far as the old minister knows, the apprentices of the Xiaoyao Sect were acquired by Xue Chang at the end of the previous year. It has been less than two years since he learned martial arts. This shows that Xue Chang is not only a martial arts genius, but also has a strong ability to teach his apprentices. He is really a versatile."

After hearing Cao Zhong's words, Emperor Taixiang looked at Luo Lanmeng, who was staring downstairs not far away, and muttered to himself with a smile: "Thanks to the emperor's sister..."

Then his expression became serious: "This Funiu Village performed so badly that even a group of children could not beat! I heard that Funiu Village has been complacent over the years, and its strength has dropped sharply, wasting so much land and money and food granted by the court! If Funiu Village still performed poorly in subsequent martial arts competitions, you ask Longwei to investigate the illegal and disorderly affairs of Funiu Village over the years! I have to let all the martial arts factions know that if they take the benefits of the court, they are greedy for pleasure and are not enterprising!"

…………………………………………………………………………

Cao Zhong's judgment was correct. Babuyun of Yandang Sect could not stop Xue Chang from winning streaks. Liao Zhanxin of the Golden Dragon Gang was the same. Even He Yuchun, the leader of the younger generation in Lingnan, made the Eight Immortal Sword amazing with one hand. However, when he met Xue Chang, who had already understood the true meaning of the Drunken Fist, some of his incredible moves were not as expected by Xue Chang, and he was eventually defeated.

Because Dongfang Xiong happened, Xue Chang realized that he was too popular yesterday, so he deliberately restrained today. Therefore, the battle with the three of them was more than a hundred moves, and in the end they won steadily. There was nothing surprising about it, which disappointed some viewers who wanted to watch the fun. Therefore, they turned their attention to the old and strong iron-blooded Changhemen Ye San, the elegant and elegant magic sword villa Si Jinyu, the quiet and elegant Shaolin Temple Huiwu, the powerful palm power was better than the man's Emei Jingxin, the hidden weapon with one hand, the elusive sword weapon, the Japanese sword school with a unique move, the Japanese sword school with a smooth sword technique, the peaceful and comfortable temperament, the beautiful goddess palace Gu Shijing, the picturesque goddess villa Lian Xuanying, the Qinhuaihui Tang Xin, the embroidered flower green brocade...

Jiang Jun took the opportunity to belittle Xue Chang to the nobles around him, saying, "The reason why he performed well yesterday was because the opponent he met was too weak, and today his opponent was stronger, so he became like everyone else. If he met the top masters in his group again, he might have suffered a defeat." So, his obviously unreliable words actually won the recognition of some nobles who wanted to please him, and even started a bet in the viewing table: Betting that Xue Chang would lose in the next few competitions.

Several of them pressed the treasure on Xue Chang's next opponent, Li Xingrong, the head of the Li family in Luozhong.

The five great masters of Luoyang - the Meng family in Luobei, the Yang family in Luonan, the Chen family in Luodong, the Han family in Luoxi, and the Li family in Luozhong were all built by the former Iron Blood Changhemen people. The five families share the same spirit and are headed by the Li family.

Because Li Mingzhe, the founder of the Li family in Luozhong, was a heavy cavalry general under Ye Wenbo, the general who was the command of Ye Wenbo, who was personally circulating in the battlefield. At critical moments of the war, he led heavy cavalry to charge and won many times, which shocked the enemy's courage. Therefore, the Xianbei people were afraid and called him "Ghost Cavalry". Later, when the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was crowned Bo for his meritorious achievements. After the Iron Blood Changhemen was forcibly disbanded by the court, Li Mingzhe took the initiative to publicly declare that he was "willing to continue to serve the court", which stabilized the hearts of some Iron Blood Changhemen people. Emperor Taizu was very happy and later appointed him as the commander of the General Commander of the General Inspector.

Five years later, Li Mingzhe resolutely resigned from the position of commander of the General Military Office on the grounds that he was "old and weak, old injuries recurred, and he could not take matters." Emperor Taizu repeatedly tried to keep him, but he had no choice but to allow him. However, within the following two or three years, the old iron-blooded Changhemen who served in the Military Office retired one after another, and all the positions they left were replaced by the Longwei trained by the palace, and then the Martial Affairs Office was completely controlled by Emperor Taizu.

Li Mingzhe retired and stayed at home without caring about politics, devoted himself to teaching disciples and art, and devoted himself to developing in the martial arts world. Emperor Taizu was constantly celebrating his holy relatives, and he would be rewarded every festival. He would also invite him to attend when holding a big banquet in the palace, and the seats were still in front.

Because of this, when Emperor Taizu was in power, there was a saying in the court that was circulating, "There were only two people who were the best at relieving their worries for the king and father, and who were well versed in the way of advancement and retreat, one was Li Mingzhe and the other was Xiao Lingnan. It was a pity that the two failed to become husband and wife."

Due to the favor of Emperor Taizu and the former general commander of the Martial Arts and the fact that Li Mingzhe was the chief commander of the General Commander of the Military Affairs Office, the nobles and wealthy people in Luoyang came to visit and took the initiative to ask their children to worship under Li Mingzhe. Li Mingzhe, who is very good at being a human, accepted these disciples one after another, divided them into two parts, one part of the disciples who passed them on to obtain their true teachings and abide by their rules, and they were part of the Li family in Luozhong all their lives; the other part was to learn some martial arts, but they did not have to strictly follow the rules of the gate. They could leave at any time, and they could also be called Luo from the outside world.

Most of the disciples of the Li family were nobles and merchants. The reason why they sent their children to learn skills was mainly to cling to Li Mingzhe's power, but they also cultivated some young generals who were proficient in gunshot skills for the Great Zhou army. Emperor Taizu was happy to see it. Therefore, the Li family in Luozhong quickly developed into the largest sect in Luoyang and surrounding areas. At its peak, one-quarter of the ministers in the court must have children in the Li family in Luozhong. When the Li family in Luoyang was doing business, they also tried their best to provide convenience.

The Li family in Luoyang has entered the top three martial arts competitions in the Jingji martial arts competition twice in a row. Li Mingzhe also performed amazingly at the Dharma discussion meeting. Therefore, among the people of Kyoto, the Li family in Luozhong has become the number one wealthy family in the martial arts world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The people in the restaurants and restaurants talk, and the topics are always inseparable from the interesting stories of the Li family.

However, the prosperity will lead to decline. The Li family in Luozhong received a wide range of disciples, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. Even if Li Mingzhe strictly regulated it, illegal and illegal things still happen occasionally, but there are protections from various yamen. In addition, Li Mingzhe paid money and apologized in time and severely punished the disciples who made mistakes. Things can often be resolved peacefully.

Seven years ago, Li Mingzhe was seriously ill and was bedridden. He handed over the affairs of the sect to his son Li Xingrong to take over. Li Xingrong's control over the disciples in the sect was not as strict as his father. The disciples in the sect became more and more arrogant, which finally led to an accident.

At that time, Emperor Taizu was also seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time, so the imperial concubine Liu Lingying went to Baima Temple to pray for her.

Several disciples of the Li family in Luozhong were having fun in the brothel. Someone talked about the rumors about the imperial concubine Liu Lingying, saying, "She was the number one beauty in the martial arts world back then, and she was overwhelmed by all the beauty. Although she is old now, her appearance and figure are still like a girl." Soon, the drunk Li family disciples were lustful and decided to go to Baima Temple to see what happened. As a result, they sneaked into the temple late at night, but were discovered by the guards. When they fled in a hurry, they injured the soldiers, which alarmed Liu Lingying, who had already rested. She personally took action to capture him, which fulfilled the wish of these Li family disciples to meet them.

When Emperor Taizu learned about this, he was furious and issued an order to severely punish the Li family.

When Li Mingzhe learned about this, he was frightened and sat on a recliner chair while sick and wanted to enter the palace to apologize, but was forbidden to enter. He waited outside the palace gate for a day and finally returned in a bad mood. Not long after, the "ghost rider" who once shocked the Northern Barbarians and was good at protecting himself died in depression.

After receiving the instructions of Emperor Taizu, the military inspector dug out all the old cases committed by the disciples of the Li family in Luozhong, arrested them one by one, and killed them. Some of the relatives of the Li family. After this thunderous attack, the people of Kyoto knew that the Li family in Luozhong had lost their holy family. Most of the disciples from noble and wealthy merchants hid home. The officials in the court immediately cut off contact with them. The Li family, which was once in the peak of their lives, suddenly became neglected in the family, and the huge group of disciples scattered. Fortunately, Emperor Taizu thought of his past friendship and was concerned about the reactions of other martial arts sects to this matter. In the end, his subordinates showed mercy and did not completely destroy the Li family.

Since then, the second head of the family, Li Xingrong, focused on running the sect, strictly recruiting apprentices, and received support from his father's former friends. The once plummeted Li family in Luozhong has made some progress...
