When he officially took over the Bloody Clothes Hall to handle the affairs of the hall, the head of the Ying Hall, Lu Da, once handed over a piece of information about this Qu Bao.
Li Xin'an still remembers Lu Da's evaluation of Qu Bao as "arrogant, brave and aggressive, regardless of the cost".
Lu Da was afraid that this reckless lunatic would destroy the intelligence network Yingtang had finally established in Jiangnan, so he suggested that this hidden danger be eliminated.
But Li Xin'an disagreed. He felt that a person who had been imprisoned for so many years was an old man when he came out. How could he have the energy to stir up trouble again? He was afraid that Yingtang's intelligence network would be destroyed accidentally by him? Li Xin'an felt that Lu Da was making a fuss out of a molehill.
.
Therefore, Li Xin'an didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, ten years later, this old man who should have disappeared from the world would appear again.
Wait, he said...villager?
How could Qu Bao, a ruthless gangster and a lunatic, be subdued by anyone? An Xin, an old farmer working in the apricot forest?
Who is the owner of the village he is talking about?
"Two gentlemen, here we are."
When Li Xin'an lowered his head in reverie, Qu Bao's words brought him back to reality.
Li Xin'an looked down and saw a large courtyard in front of her. There was a black plaque with gold rim and four big characters written on it.
"Weihu Villa".
Li Xin'an looked at the surrounding environment of this deep house compound, with green mountains and green waters, golden wheat fields in the distance, and several small black figures walking around inside.
In front of the gate, six well-dressed villagers each carried a long knife on their waist, and their faces were resolute, unlike ordinary Jianghu people.
Li Xin'an recognized that kind of long sword. It was the standard Tang sword used by the Tang army!
Although in recent years this kind of sword has been gradually replaced by another long knife that is lighter, harder and has a wider blade, this kind of Tang sword is still an item controlled by the military and cannot be strayed into the rivers and lakes!
"You two gentlemen, please come in."
The old man who was suspected of being the gangster Qu Bao smiled and waved to them to lead the way. Li Xin'an stiffly handed the reins to Zhuang Ding who stepped forward to receive them, and followed the old man into the yard.
"I said, old man, who is the owner of our Weihu Villa?"
"In front of you is the lobby, and the owner of the village is in the lobby."
The old man led Li Xin'an and Li Xin'an to the lower reaches of the Tang Dynasty and said: "Two young masters, wait a moment while I go to report to the owner of the village."
"Please."
Li Xin'an nodded and watched the old man's figure disappear into the house, then reappear after a while.
"You two gentlemen, the owner of the village has invited you."
After the old man finished speaking, he bowed his hands and was about to leave.
Seeing the old man disappear from sight, Li Xin'an and Murong Bai looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and entered the lobby.
In the lobby, several pear wood chairs were lined up on both sides, and a fat middle-aged man in rich clothes was sitting in a high position.
The fat man is fair and fair, but his face has a thick beard. His big hands are not as fair as his face at all, and are covered with calluses and cracks.
When the fat man saw the two of them, he was about to speak and suddenly froze.
Li Xin'an was a little curious, and when she was about to speak, she found that Murong Bai beside her also looked excited.
"Baitou, what's wrong with you?" Li Xin'an asked softly.
"Senior Hu, it turns out to be you!"
"Hahahaha... Master Murong, how come you are here?"
Seeing the familiar faces between the two, Li Xin'an was completely confused.
"Brother Li, let me introduce you." Murong Bai smiled and said, "This senior is Hu Changfeng, the newly released 16th Martial Arts Review, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Tianshan Army of the Beiting Protectorate!"
"Hu...Hu Changfeng?"
Li Xin'an was dumbfounded, looking at the 16th ranked martial arts reviewer dressed as a rich man in front of him, he couldn't believe that this was true.
The warriors in the world must always be ranked one, two, three or four. The martial arts review of Tianji Tower is the list for the respect of the warriors in the world.
Jianghu

There is a saying in the book: "No force can escape the eyes of Tianji Tower's spies. What you think Tianji Tower doesn't know is actually only what Tianji Tower has not announced yet."
Li Xin'an deeply believed in this statement. He was praised as... let's call it praise. Back then, the Blood Clothes Hall was said to be all-pervasive, and it kept its own secrets extremely strictly. The identities of his grandfather Tao Boshan and Zhang Siyuan have not been leaked until now.
, but the martial arts review of Tianji Tower successively listed the two of them on the list. Of course, considering Li Linfu's status, Tianji Tower did not write anything else.
The number of disciples of Tianji Tower is unknown, their identity is unknown, and their strength is unclear. People in the world only know that the number of disciples of Tianji Tower is huge, but the identity of any one of them has never been revealed.
Hidden in the mountains of Shennongjia, there are only dozens of elders sitting in the Tianji Tower on weekdays. However, a month before the rankings of Tianji Tower are released, the empty Shennongjia will be filled with people overnight. And on the third day of the list is released.
The next day, these people mysteriously disappeared overnight, and no one knew how they did it.
Such a pervasive Tianji Tower has naturally attracted the attention of many people. Huo Yungjing, the leader of the Demon Sect's Ten Thousand Blood Hall, was dissatisfied that he was not among the top ten in the martial arts review. He attacked Shennongjia with all his strength, only to find that the Tianji Tower was already gone.
The building was empty. It turned out that they had learned the news in advance and called on dozens of behemoths in the rivers and lakes, including the Seven Kills Sword House, to wipe out Wanxuetang. After this battle, people in the rivers and lakes saw the terrifying appeal of Tianji Tower, and they were helpless.
No one dares to have any idea of Tianji Tower.
At that time, Tianji Tower also realized its own problems. The martial arts review only ranked, not commented, and the review was left to those famous figures in the world. Since then, no one has not been honored to enter the martial arts review.
No one is honored by judging martial arts. Tianji Tower stirs up the world with a piece of paper!
Eight years ago, Shen Guanhai, the old owner of the Tianji Tower, went to sea and disappeared without a trace. The new owner Sikong Lang carried out drastic reforms in the Tianji Tower. The piece of paper that cost half the lives of people in the world was announced every ten years to now.
Once every three years.
Jianghu, bloody storm.
On the eighth day of March last year, it was the day when Tianji Tower announced the martial arts ranking list. Pei Min was guarding the border and could not leave, so his senior brother Chang Yu went to Shennongjia on behalf of his teacher.
Li Xin'an originally wanted to stalk his senior brother and beg him to take him there, but unexpectedly Li Chu gave him a temporary task. Li Xin'an rushed to Luoyang at night and lurked there for half a month. He killed an official who bribed the court and leaked the news.
The information was given to a wealthy Luoyang businessman from Tibet.
By the time he returned to Chang'an, the martial arts review had ended.
But Li Xin'an, one of the top twenty warriors in the world, is firmly remembered in his heart.
The first person in martial arts, the owner of Murong Villa, the father of Murong Bai, and the leader of the martial arts alliance Murong De.
The second best martial arts critic, the Sword Master of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min.
The third in the martial arts review, the abbot of the Great Bodhidharma Temple in the Western Regions, Master Kasyapa.
The top three are all masters of the Heaven and Human Realm.
Fourth, the headmaster of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zifeng.
Fifth, the master of Penglai Pavilion in the East China Sea, Han Zhiji.
Sixth, the abbot of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang and the Master of Difficulties.
Seventh, Kong Yan, dean of Qilin Academy in Jiangnan East Road.
Eighth, the leader of the Tianshan Sect in the Western Regions, Xu Hanying.
Ninth, the owner of Xueyue Villa on Jiangnan East Road, Lu Qingdai.
Tenth, the owner of Mengjiazhuang in Shandong, Meng Dongting.
These seven people, except for the newly promoted owner of Xueyue Villa, Lu Qingdai, who is the successor master Luo Wanbai, are all famous martial arts figures who have been famous in the world for a long time.
As for the ten people behind Wu Ping, most of them are extremely ruthless figures in the world.
Eleventh, rafting on the Canjian River. With a broken sword and a lonely boat, he went down the Yangtze River and killed a total of eighty-six second- and first-class masters. His journey is still going on.
Twelfth, Sikong Lang, the owner of the Tianji Tower, the white-faced scholar, the culprit who caused the river of blood in the martial arts world.
Thirteenth, Shangguan Xiuyao, the owner of Miaoyinfang in Luoyang, used her female body to support the huge industry of Miaoyinfang. The women under her command were proficient in music and they all used music to kill people, but they only killed one kind of people - heartless people.
Fourteenth, the hero Mu Jingcheng of Hebei Province hates evil so much that he has no living villains under his command.
Fifteenth, Chen Yaoxian, the master of Medicine God Valley, a peerless physician and a peerless poison master.
sixteenth,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Hu Changfeng, the owner of Huwei Villa and the deputy commander of the Tianshan Army of the Beiting Protectorate, entered the martial arts world after achieving great military exploits. He is a newly rising master and has established a lot of prestige in the martial arts world.
Seventeenth, the flying thief Tian Cuo. A strange thief from the Jianghu, who is both good and evil. It is said that he is an abandoned disciple of the Mohist family, and his men have contaminated the lives of thirteen people of the Mohist family.
Eighteenth, Hua Teng, the leader of Yanhui Hall. He was a bandit first and then a wealthy businessman. He was stained with countless blood overtly and covertly.
Nineteenth, the leader of Wudang Mountain is Zhang Jingfeng. The new leader of Wudang Mountain is said to be the reincarnation of leader Zhang Guanqing, and his strength is unknown.
Twenty-seven, Tang Qinghuai, the owner of the Tusheng Tower, another killer after the leader of the Blood Clothes Hall.
Regarding this martial arts review, Li Xin'an and Murong Bai had a special discussion when they were drinking. Li Xin'an's opinion is: at a glance, it is full of human feelings and sophistication!
Li Xin'an looked at the martial arts review list and sneered. He said: "Since Sikong Lang wrote the martial arts review list, the martial arts review list cannot be viewed."
"There is no doubt about the top three, and there is no doubt about it. But the top seven and the bottom seven are not so convincing."
"Among the seven, the newly promoted owner of Xueyue Villa, Lu Qingdai, is said to have returned to the True Realm halfway. She is a twenty-six-year-old female swordsman. It's not that I don't believe it, but she shouldn't be ranked ninth in the world."
"Mr. Meng Dongting, the tenth, was certainly able to dominate when he was young, but now that he is nearly eighty years old, it is unknown whether his cultivation strength is half of what it was when he was at his peak."
"Sikong Lang, the owner of the Tianji Building, can stir up the world. It can be imagined that this person is an extremely terrifying character. His strength is definitely not too low. I think there is no problem in ranking in the top ten. He ranks himself twelfth.
, it’s really thought-provoking.”
"Master Mu, I have the same problem with Mr. Meng. As you get older, your strength will definitely decline. Fourteen is too high."
"Master of the Medicine God Valley, this is full of human sophistication. Master Chen's medical skills are recognized by the world, but in terms of martial arts training alone, his strength may not be among the top thirty. Tianji Tower is concerned about the status of the Medicine God Valley, so this
I gave Valley Master Chen a ranking that is neither above nor below. Of course, as the Medicine God Valley who has healed saints, I have to give him this face!"
"The flying thief Tian Cuo has almost disappeared in recent years. He is also too tall."
"The new head coach of Wudang Mountain, this is the most watery ranking in my opinion. The new head coach has never made a move since he took over. If his strength is unclear, he should not be ranked in the martial arts review. There are many masters in Wudang Mountain, and the master of Qingquan Palace, Chen Siping, is not strong enough.
Under Confucius Yan, the dean of Qilin Academy, he is ranked eighth."
"For the sake of so-called fairness, Tianji Tower allows only one person from a family to be on the list. This is not in line with the rules of the Jianghu. Jianghu is a place where strength is respected, and no one talks about fairness. Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Damo Temple, and White Horse Temple
, just picking up any old man is enough to defeat the masters of 20 to 50 martial arts reviewers, but their names are not included in the martial arts review, which is the most unsightly part."
"Moreover, this ranking only includes the righteous masters from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. Only Master Kasyapa from the Western Regions has to be on the list. The wizard archbishop of Khitan and the leader of the wolf slaves; the ninja master and samurai of Japan.
The generals; the Five Poison Sect, a family in southern Xinjiang that competed with the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty; and the tens of thousands of ascetic monks in Tianzhu, none of these left traces in the martial arts reviews."
"And no one in the Demonic Way is on the list. Si Chengfeng, the long-lost master of the Demonic Shadow Pavilion, was the fourth master of the martial arts review back then. But after Si Kong Lang took over as the master of the Tianji Pavilion, his name was removed from any list.
It’s all been wiped off the list.”
After Li Xin'an said this eloquently, he let out a long sigh: "The martial arts evaluation rankings in recent years have become more and more boring. They are completely based on seniority, and only the rookie rankings are still meaningful."
Murong Bai silenced Li Xin'an with just one sentence: "The martial arts review is jointly evaluated by Tianji Tower and dozens of famous martial arts masters and hidden experts. Brother Li feels that his vision alone can surpass all of theirs."
Everyone needs to be long-term?”
Li Xin'an hummed and stopped talking. Although he knew that Murong Bai's words were reasonable and that he was relying on alcohol to be too confident, he still felt that Wu Ping was not very convincing.
But this does not mean that he has no respect for the top 20 martial arts masters. They still represent the best in the world.
Li Xin'an would be extremely excited when he saw any of them, except his own master.
What's more, what about the military hero Hu Changfeng who retired from the army after a bloody battle on the western border?
