Hidden Sword Villa is one of the most famous sects in the world of Great Zhou, claiming to be able to cast thousands of swords in the world.
This sect is located in Lingnan, Mingzhou, not far from Tailin. It can be reached in about three days from Tailin.
Originally, Eunuch Lin's intention was to send a trustworthy member of the royal family to the Hidden Sword Villa to discuss the matter in person.
Although Hidden Sword Villa is a powerful force in the world, it can be said that it is loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the royal family. During the Five Kingdoms Chaos Zhou three years ago, Hidden Sword Villa made a lot of efforts to allow the royal family members to escape from Shangyuan City.
price.
It's a pity that Bai Yutian's predecessor looked down on these people in the world and simply ignored their role. Not only did he not reward them, but he also denied the contribution of Hidden Sword Villa.
This also led to the Hidden Sword Villa later completely withdrawing from the royal family and completely integrating into the world.
However, the current Bai Yutian's thoughts are naturally not the same as the previous Bai Yutian. In order to invite the eldest son of Cangjian Villa, Bai Yutian even came here in person to meet with the eldest son of Cangjian Villa.
The importance of the Dragon Guard is self-evident, and it will play a vital role in Bai Yutian's future control of the court and the revitalization of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Especially now that Shannu has invaded and Liangzhou has fallen, Bai Yutian must speed up the formation of the Dragon Guard at all costs.
Bai Yutian did not go to court for several days on the grounds of illness, leaving Yuncheng and Yan Chong to act as agents of the court, while he sneaked out with Dianwei and Zhao Chuxue.
Both Yuncheng and Yan Chong were absolutely loyal and capable enough. Bai Yutian was absolutely at ease with them.
In order to avoid Gu Taizhong's spy, Bai Yutian traveled lightly, bringing only Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue to Mingzhou.
Along the way, Bai Yutian felt sad. Not only the areas with severe drought, but also the states and counties in Mingzhou that were too close to the capital were not spared.
Except for the wealthy squires, most people are homeless, have no food to eat, and can only make a living by begging.
It can be said that the economy of Dazhou has collapsed to the extreme. Many problems have arisen within the seemingly large and stable Dazhou.
These problems may seem inconspicuous, but in fact they will continue to accumulate and eventually overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Bai Yutian sighed softly. He suddenly felt that he was powerless. Even if he was the emperor, he could not solve everything.
Bai Yutian was sitting in the carriage, Zhao Chuxue was protecting Bai Yutian, while Dian Wei was driving a horse outside.
Soon, they entered a bustling city.
This city is called Baocheng, and it is close to Tianyang Mountain. And Zangjian Villa is on the top of Tianyang Mountain.
However, at this moment, Hidden Sword Villa is closed to all guests, and no one is allowed to enter Hidden Sword Villa.
Bai Yutian and the others had hidden their identities all the way, and it was hard to reveal themselves now, so they could only wait for Hidden Sword Villa to open.
Fortunately, they learned that Hidden Sword Villa was preparing for a sword-making conference and would open its doors around the afternoon, and many people would come to the mountain by then.
The Sword Forging Conference is a major event in the world of Great Zhou.
The swords forged at the Cangjian Villa are very famous, and half of the famous swords in the world come from the Cangjian Villa.
Moreover, Hidden Sword Villa is an established force in the world, with a history even longer than the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has a profound foundation.
Therefore, no one dared to look down upon Hidden Sword Villa even though its strength was greatly damaged in the fight against Shan Nu three years ago.
The so-called sword-making conference means that the Hidden Sword Villa invites heroes from all over the world to engage in martial arts competitions or debates. The winner can receive a weapon forged by the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa himself.
Bai Yutian and the other two happened to be lucky enough to meet on the day of the Sword Making Conference at Hidden Sword Villa.
The three of them were sitting in the restaurant, surrounded by voices discussing the sword-making conference.
"Hey, I heard that in this sword-making competition, Mr. Shen of Hidden Sword Villa actually took out Chi Xiao as a reward."
"No way, Chixiao is equivalent to the treasure of the Hidden Sword Villa. It may not be possible to produce one in twenty years. Master Shen is actually so generous this time."
"It seems that because too many masters of Hidden Sword Villa died three years ago, many former enemies came to Hidden Sword Villa and put a lot of pressure on Mr. Shen."
Although Hidden Sword Villa looks beautiful on the surface, it is under great pressure on the inside.
In the past sword-making conferences, although weapons forged by the owner of the village were presented, they were first- and second-rate weapons at best, not at all the level of the Red Sky Sword.
Someone heard that the strength of Hidden Sword Villa was declining and said disdainfully: "Humph, the Jianghu forces can just focus on the Jianghu. They have to interfere in national affairs. As a result, people die and gain nothing. Isn't it miserable?
.”
At this time, a man who looked like a scholar turned his head and looked at the man who had spoken before, "Brother, that's not entirely true. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. If the Great Zhou Dynasty is occupied by the enemy, don't we have to follow?"
Disaster."
Seeing someone contradicting him, the man was immediately displeased, with a hint of anger in his tone, "Oh, I think it would be better to change the world to another ruler. The Emperor of Zhou was stupid and incompetent, trusted his treacherous ministers, humiliated and gave in, and lost everything."
Zhou’s face.”
"After the sword-making conference, I'm still thinking of joining the Tianyi Army. It's better than being loyal to the royal family."
These words were truly treasonous. If the emperor heard this, he would probably kill all ten clans, and even the expressions of some people around him changed.
After all, this is Dazhou's territory. Even if Dazhou is not good, they don't dare to say anything.
Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue next to them had their eyes turned cold. As long as Bai Yutian gave the order, they would kill this person immediately.
They were loyal to the royal family and Bai Yutian, and were impressed by Bai Yutian's methods. Naturally, they did not want others to slander Bai Yutian.
Not only was this person rebellious and arrogant, he even dared to threaten to join the Tianyi Army.
The Tianyi Army is an army composed of the Shijiabao and Lin families. It belongs to the rebel army, that is, the rebel army.
Killing this man would be equivalent to removing a scourge for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, Bai Yutian shook his head and stopped the two of them.
As a time traveler, Bai Yutian was not completely incapable of hearing such words. He had the right to think that this person was scolding his predecessor.
After all, this predecessor is really who he said he was. It is no exaggeration to say that if the predecessor had not died, I am afraid that within a few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty might really be destroyed in his hands.
However, the man's words made the scholar-looking man sneer: "Huh, then I will join the Zhou army and be the first to behead you."
The two quarreled, and their tone gradually became less friendly, and they almost even started to fight directly.
Fortunately, there were people around to dissuade them and separated the two.
Bai Yutian had been paying attention to this person. When he saw the two separated, he said to the scholar: "I admire you very much when I see you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I dare to ask your name."
This person is dedicated to serving the country, but Bai Yutian has the intention to win over him. He feels that this person is not simple.
"An unknown person, Xiao Li." The man replied calmly.
