Chapter 220 The battle of the rivers and lakes
After hearing what Hun Jianglong said, Yang Zhan was very impatient. He was too lazy to deal with such a messy person like him anymore, so he replied casually: "Okay, whoever wins the fight has the final say."
His words spread immediately, and people's enthusiasm for the martial arts competition became even higher. Liang Yue was secretly happy.
The wandering monk Miaofeng also returned. He, Dichen, Guanzhi, Yang Zhan, Zhu Pingxi, Fei Xiaojin, and Liu Jiankuan formed a seven-member ruling team to make a ruling on this grand event.
As for their seven masters, they will not participate in the competition, but they are willing to accept challenges from anyone.
Since there were too many people coming from both inside and outside Sichuan to participate, Fei Xiaojin suggested that we divide them into four groups: East Sichuan, West Sichuan, South Sichuan, and North Sichuan. You can participate in the competition in whichever group you want to join the world.
Within the Shujiang League, two people, Yang Jingxin and Li Zhiyong, were originally placed in charge in western and southern Sichuan, but this time they also had to participate in a competition to determine whether they would be re-elected.
On the day of the martial arts conference, the seven-member judging panel came to the ring to meet everyone. Yang Zhan came out and announced that the purpose of this conference was to use martial arts to make friends and select talents for the Shujiang Alliance. I hope everyone will stop by and don't hurt the harmony, let alone
Hurt lives...
A big man carrying a sword shouted loudly to Yang Zhan in the audience, which sounded like someone from outside Sichuan, "Lord Shu, we have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the martial arts conference. If we just win a false name, it is not worth it! Can you add a little bonus? It is said that
All Zhang Xianzhong’s treasures have been obtained by the Lord of Shu, so if you reward us with some, our trip here will not be in vain!”
A few people nearby responded sparsely, "That's why the Lord of Shu can't just send us away with a few martial arts contests!"
Yang Zhan bowed his hands to the audience, "Friends, dear friends, I have gathered you here today just to tell you that there is no such thing as treasure. Sichuan now only has wasteland waiting to be reclaimed, and there is no so-called gold, silver and jewelry. If
Friends who are willing to stay and rebuild Sichuan with us, this competition is an opportunity to recruit based on their talents. If not, after the competition, we will pay you travel expenses and everyone can go back to their hometowns."
Someone in the crowd asked: "What will happen if I don't want to go back or join you?"
Yang Zhan smiled gently and said: "It won't be anything. It's just that Sichuan has just come back from years of war. In order to maintain a recuperative order for the people, the Shujiang League will inevitably adopt some tough measures. Please bear with me when the time comes."
What he said was neither soft nor hard. He just wanted to tell everyone that after this martial arts conference, the Jianghu in Sichuan will be cleared. The people need to recuperate and recuperate. People can just go and do what they are supposed to do. Stop hunting for treasures, fighting for position, etc.
What a mess.
Regardless of whether these people are convinced or not, the game has begun.
After nearly seven or eight days of fighting, the top ten experts from each group were selected.
Li Zhiyong and Yang Jingxin did not participate in the competition because Yang Zhan asked them to give up their two positions in charge of southern Sichuan and northern Sichuan, and set up new positions of left and right guardians for them.
Gao Chengen is the first in the southern Sichuan group, and Luo Weijie is the first in the northern Sichuan group. The two are the undisputed leaders of the southern and northern Sichuan groups respectively.
Although Fei Dakai was the second in the Western Sichuan group, the first in the group made it clear that he would not join the Shujiang League and had no intention of staying in Sichuan, so he naturally became the leader of the Western Sichuan branch.
The most troublesome thing is the Sichuan East group. Although Shuai Shangke, who has relatively high martial arts skills, was arranged to participate in this group due to its complexity, he still only came in third place.
The first place is Liang Yue, and the second place is Hun Jianglong.
Hun Jianglong asked Liangyue: "How is it? Taoist priest, do you want to go back to your Huashan? If you don't stay, I will have the final say in the rivers and lakes in Eastern Sichuan!"
Whoever wins the fight will have the final say. This is what Yang Zhan promised.
Hun Jianglong never thought in his wildest dreams that this sentence would actually come from Gang Liangyue.
Liang Yue is going to dominate the Jianghu in eastern Sichuan, and he will do so in the name of the Heaven and Earth Society. Although he will win by force, he can't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
Because he understands what Hun Jiangdong doesn't understand.
Yang Zhan is the leader of Shu. If he does not join the Shujiang Alliance and wants to take charge of eastern Sichuan, it is equivalent to directly confronting Yang Zhan, and he will not be able to do so for a long time.
After all, Liang Yue was brave and resourceful. He did not answer Hun Jianglong's question, but directly asked Yang Zhan: "Master Shu, Liang Yue has a wish. He wants to meet Senior Brother Kuan, the master of the right hall, for advice on swordsmanship. If Liang Yue loses,
, willing to join the Shujiang League and become the leader of the Sichuan East branch of the Shujiang League. If Liang Yue wins, please give up the plan of setting up a branch in the east of Sichuan."
Yang Zhan was shocked. This Liang Yue, who was unwilling to compete with Jian Kuan at Shizhu to death, now took the initiative to challenge him. What was his plan?
After thinking about it carefully, I have to admire Liangyue's idea. If he loses to Jiankuan, he can naturally join the Shujiang Alliance without being suspected of having ulterior motives. If he wins against Jiankuan, he can not only establish his prestige in the world, but also
The Shujiang Alliance can be excluded from eastern Sichuan.
You won't suffer any loss whether you win or lose, and you won't offend Yang Zhan. Liang Yue made a really good calculation.
However, for Yang Zhan, this idea was also a step up, so he followed the trend and asked Jian Kuan: "Junior brother, would you like to discuss with him?"
Jian Kuan said with a smile: "If someone wants to challenge me, don't I necessarily have to be a coward?"
After saying that, he stood up and moved forward. Zhu Pingxi, who was standing next to him, quickly grabbed his sleeves and warned: "Junior brother, don't hurt his face!"
Jian Kuan smiled again, "Why do your elbows always turn outward?"
The crowd immediately became excited, as if the real martial arts competition had just begun.
Jian Kuan and Liang Yue both wore Taoist robes, and both wielded an iron sword, and both were standard swords provided by martial arts conferences.
Although their swordsmanship was different, they were both agile and quick, which dazzled everyone.
There has long been a rumor in the world that "Liu Jiankuan's sword will kill people's heads when it is unsheathed", and almost no one wants to see him using the sword. This time was different, the rules of the competition were to point and stop, and he met his opponent.
The arena was set up beside the Min River. The two contestants never left the arena, but everyone saw the water splashing in the river from their sword energy.
After a while, both of them sheathed their swords. Liang Yue bowed and saluted Jian Kuan and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for teaching me! Liang Yue is convinced that he lost!"
Someone in the audience shouted: "Why did you lose? Where did you lose?"
Liang Yue took off her Taoist robe, twisted it gently, and a trickle of water trickled out.
He laughed self-deprecatingly: "If my senior brother hadn't turned his sharp sword energy into water, he would have cut off ten of my heads."
After saying this, Liang Yue loudly asked Yang Zhan again: "Liang Yue is willing to join the Shujiang Alliance, and please accept it from the Lord of Shu!"
Yang Zhan quickly stepped forward, took his hand, and announced happily: "From now on, Taoist Liangyue will be the leader of the Sichuan East branch of the Shujiang League. I also ask all my friends in the world to help me!"
Hun Jianglong sneered sourly: "I think you had planned it from the beginning, but you came here to put on a show, and even coaxed us all to come and act out this show with you!"
