Chapter 68 Sending a letter to Yunluan, the three halls and seven schools, without raising arms, are they submitting to Song Chaixin?
[You killed the military commander Liang Longwei in Heishan City with your fists, and appointed the outer city commander Chen Zhao as the new eighth-rank military commander, in charge of the three hundred soldiers in the inner city.]

[From now on, the inner city government system is under your control.]

[You acted vigorously and swiftly, clearing out one of the three major destabilizing factors in Black Mountain City. However, among the three, the government, the warriors, and the demons, the head of the Military Department, Liang Longwei, is only powerful on the surface.]

[In the "Martial Arts Street" in the East Square of the Inner City, the three major martial arts schools are all authentic branches, and the leaders are all masters of the "Free and Easy Realm". The remaining schools, big and small, also have famous families behind them. ]

[They founded a sect and collected money. The inheritance of the sect cannot be underestimated. Even the garrison commander and the head of the sect do not give them face.]

[They may or may not be involved in the affairs of the demons outside the city.]

[But in any case, for you, you will not allow any instability or disobedience in the place you govern.]

【They can develop in Black Mountain City. 】

【But first of all.】

[We have to submit to you and pay taxes! ]

The distinction between the inside and the outside of Black Mountain City is like that between a mountain and a field.

But if we talk about the "Yanwu Street", a long alley with many connections, there are many grand martial arts halls, schools, and mansions.
It is completely different from other areas.

If we talk about the vast area.

The inner city is only two or three percent of the outer city area.

And 'Yanwu Street' is just a side alley on the east side of the inner city.

But it’s just this alley that runs from south to north.

However, there are three authentic martial arts schools and seven famous schools, each of which has established a branch here.

Almost all the leaders of each town hall are masters of the "great innate" level. All of their disciples have vigorous qi and blood, and can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. Those who can be included in the sect must have at least cultivated the foundation, muscles, jade meridians, mercury blood and silver marrow.

Those who want to become disciples of this sect must at least be wealthy families from the outer cities, or extremely wealthy merchants. Only families that have been in this sect for decades are qualified to receive the true teachings.

It is said that the poor in literature and the rich in military affairs.

This unwritten rule is interpreted here to the fullest extent.

They are the real 'nobles' in Montenegro.

Even if they are government servants or soldiers from the military department, who receive salaries from above, they have to stand aside when they get here.

Because the government has no control over the underworld!

Even if there is a genuine demon hidden in private, and the Demon Hunting Bureau has solid evidence, and a demon-hunting general comes to question in person, it will still take the intervention of the state's elders and martial arts giants to capture the demon!
The sun just rose today.

A blue-clothed policeman in the inner city swallowed his saliva and said to the ten martial arts schools, all of which were famous martial arts schools.
They knocked on the door one by one and handed over a visiting card.

The three 'authentic' martial arts schools seemed to have known the news long ago and calmly accepted this 'special' post.

But the remaining famous schools were all very angry and almost beat Zheng Zizhen, who was delivering the letter, until he was black and blue.

But afterwards,

They were all stopped by masters from their respective martial arts schools.

Because the commotion caused by the Inner and Outer City Military Department today was quite huge.

By now, the news had spread to the martial arts street, and the Black Mountain martial artists who usually "held sway over a certain area" had clearly realized that

What on earth does this new town guard who calls himself "Song Chai Xin" want to do?
And on the other side,
The letter was authorized by Song Chai Xin, and Ruan Xiuxiu took out a specially made "jade talisman" and passed it back to the mountain gate, which was really a sign of wealth and power.

The other letter was sent by Xie Qiaoke's servant, who rode a fat and strong horse at an accelerated speed of 800 miles to Xie's mansion.

Shaoyang Martial Arts School, Xuandu Martial Arts School, and Jianji Martial Arts School.

There are only three of them in Heishan City, and they are the branches of inheritance opened up by the powerful sects that dominate the city.

A visiting card can cause a huge stir.

Ning Changfeng, the master of Jianji Martial Arts School, came back from Bingma City with his hands behind his back in silence. Just as he reached the doorstep, he saw all the disciples rushing up to him and started asking about "seeking justice".

He hasn't been asked to respond yet.

Then I heard
In the entire "Yanwu Street", all the authentic and famous branches, a total of ten families, were not left out, and all were invited to visit by the new governor.

Regardless of realm, they only care about fists, feet, swords and knives to see who is better.

Hearing this, Ning Changfeng crumpled the visiting card into a piece of waste paper, holding it tightly in his palm, his face twitching:

"He is really young and reckless, and he does things recklessly."

"You are so young, you don't even have the nerve to give them any more?"

"Even a powerful dragon can hardly defeat a local snake!"

Thinking of the boxing techniques that almost formed the "martial arts natural appearance".

Even though he was just watching from a distance, Ning Changfeng felt a pain in his heart.

There are only a few people who can have the same martial arts skills as the new guard. Even if all the authentic and famous geniuses in the entire "Martial Arts Street" were tied together, they would still not be as good as him.

In other words, this visiting card was directed to these famous Montenegrin figures.

Killed Liang Longwei, the leader of the military department, and Duan Nantian of the Duan family.

This guy used the charge of 'colluding with demons'.

According to the rules, there is really no problem at all in enforcing them with the authority to guard them.

Now, when it comes to their street, this rule no longer applies.

so.
He used the method of "discussing boxing and martial arts" and only compared skills. He still presented the visiting card according to the rules as a "martial artist".

There's nothing wrong with that.

But the key point is,

Even if these old guys went up and fought him, it might not be possible to determine the winner only by sword, fist, and knife skills.
Can defeat him!

The disciples gathered around him, still chattering. They knew nothing and couldn't figure out the current situation:
"This new town guard is so arrogant and presumptuous. He just killed our martial arts school's senior brother the night before last. Now he doesn't know his place and comes to pick a fight with us?"

"Presenting a visiting card, being the leader, huh!"

"Does he know how many great innate masters and masters who are proficient in artistic conception there are in the three orthodox and seven famous martial arts schools?"

You say something and I say something.

This made Ning Changfeng, the owner of Jianji Pavilion, feel annoyed. He threw his sleeves and walked out the door without even taking a sip of hot tea:
"What a mess! Why don't we all go practice martial arts?"

"The new town guard is only seventeen years old, but he has already reached the 'end of artistic conception' of famous-level boxing. He is expected to comprehend a 'natural martial arts' before he turns thirty, and become the best in the state."

"But what about you?"

"If you could be half as good as him, as your teacher, would I not risk my life to send you to the Sword Ridge Cliff to become your true disciples?"

"Humph!"

Ning Changfeng, the thin owner of Jianji Pavilion, left angrily.

Not a moment has passed.

He met two other masters of the "Xiaoyao Realm" in Yanwu Street.

The other two were Pei Fangchan, the helmsman of Shaoyang Martial Arts School, with "Shaoyang Mountain" standing behind him.

And the Xuandu Martial Arts School, which was established with the support of the "Xuandu Gate", and its owner Fang Zang.

The former had cloudy eyes and looked quite old, with loose muscles and bones. He looked much older than Ning Changfeng, the owner of the Sword Ridge Pavilion.

The latter was dressed in tight clothes and was in his fifties, looking just like a martial artist at his peak. Perhaps he would be able to make further progress in the future.

Three masters who can hold up half of Montenegro.

They met at a luxurious restaurant on Yanwu Street and booked an entire private room to discuss the matter.

As the most well-informed people in the entire Black Mountain, they knew everything about Song Chaixin's cultivation.

"The demons outside the Black Mountain have backgrounds in the four palaces. They can come and go as they please in the city. That small town guard has done something extreme. Why should we give him face? We can just suppress him directly."

Fang Zang from Xuandu Sect, dressed in black and with thick eyebrows and gray hair, lowered his hand with a sharp look in his eyes.

Although he had not inherited the authentic sword art of the 'Xuan Du Sect', he had also cultivated the famous 'Xuan Du Palm Sword' to the highest level of artistic conception. He also lived several decades earlier than Song Chai Xin, and boasted that his cultivation was not bad.

Fang Zang, a junior who is more than 30 years younger than him, wants to be the dragon that crosses the river. Unlike Ning Changfeng and Pei Fangchan, Fang Zang still has room for improvement in martial arts, so he naturally has a strong attitude.

But the Sword Ridge Pavilion Master was silent for a moment, and did not agree with him: "I am old, and I just want to retire in Black Mountain. I am not as vigorous as you. Even for the things that Chang Sun Chi did before he was beheaded, I turned a blind eye."

What he said implied that he was trying to keep the peace and just bow his head.

They both looked at Master Shaoyang at the same time.

I heard that recently, the ancestor of Shaoyang Mountain has taken that step. His white hair has turned black, and he has regained his youth and is full of vigor and vitality.

Even though there were a lot of shit going on underneath, the demon-hunting general Ye Cang, out of fear and balance, was ultimately unable to completely tear his face off.

As the empress has been in seclusion in recent years, her presence has become increasingly weak.

The Northwest was becoming more and more chaotic with all kinds of monsters and demons.

At this time, it is always a very reassuring thing to have a stabilizing force behind you as a backer.

Even though it has nothing to do with the Black Mountain in this remote area, as a branch, it can always be linked to the Black Mountain.

"Haha, actually. When Pavilion Master Ning called me over, I received the news." Pei Fangchan's teeth were almost falling out, but the two people present did not dare to underestimate him at all.

If we say that the two of them are only masters of the 'Xiaoyao Realm', and have not yet attempted to break through to the third step 'Yuan Dan'.

Then Pei Fangchan,
He was the one who almost condensed a 'low-grade' elixir and broke through this barrier!
Even if in the end, because the Vajra body, Huangting Dantian and Xiaoyao soul are not qualified to carry the "Dan Dao", the elixir cultivation fails and the plan is in vain.

But once you take half a step into that realm, there is a huge difference between you and the great innate.

Even if you are extremely old and frail, you won't live for many years.

After all, he was a person who could attract all the experts in the city with just a stomp of his feet, and he was a person that could not be ignored!

Received the news?
What news did you receive?
Remember the power behind him
Ning Changfeng and Fang Zang looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"There is a person of some importance in the Shaoyang Mountains who once told me."

"This 'garrison guard' has a close relationship with him. He asked me to protect him a little. When he is free, I will have a good 'reminisce' with him."

"so."

"Even though this person has such a stubborn attitude, my Shaoyang Martial Arts School still has to give him some face."

"Haha, you two have occupied the martial arts street for so many years, opened schools and recruited disciples, and you have made a lot of money. Why don't you listen to me and do what the guard wants, stop and surrender, how about that?"

"Thus,"

"Although everyone has suffered some loss of face, we can still get by on life."

Shaoyang Mountain.
All the third-step characters in it have to give this person some face?
Which big shot is it?

Ning Changfeng and Fang Zang were startled.

You have to know that before the previous governor fell from power, he was in the same boat with the person in front of him, and he followed his lead.

Cooperating with demons, he was the main force of the government's garrison and military department, along with the two powerful families.

But if you really count it
After all, the Black Mountain Demon Mansion outside is just an insignificant force and is not considered a demon lord. Although it is stronger than them, it is not worth mentioning outside!
The big demons occupying several hills outside the Black Mountain obviously understood this truth.

Therefore, he never crossed the line when doing things, otherwise he would have been killed in the third step.

Pei Fangchan, after all, was once just one step away from entering the core of Shaoyang Mountain.

Even if he leaves, his network of contacts is still stronger than that of the two of them.

After hearing this,

"Since the master of Shaoyang Mountain recognized this boy..."

"Well, take the loss if you can."

"After all, this is the government's territory. We should just put up with it. How many years can a genius like him stay here? Maybe he will break out of Black Mountain soon."

"and"

"Demons are not like us. They are so cautious in their actions. Maybe something unexpected will happen?"

"That's all."

"Not being impulsive is the way to long-term success."

Thinking of the previous experiences of Liang Longwei and Duan Nantian, I still feel a little scared.

Ning Changfeng, who was relieved, and Fang Zang, who was unwilling, looked at each other and tried to smooth things over.

The will of three people.

It determined the will of the three halls and seven schools.

then,

The 'Ten Greatest Heroes' of the Martial Arts Street didn't even fight with weapons before the battle ended.

Why do people often say that background is more important than anything else?

because,

This is the background!

only.
Perhaps the Black Mountain garrison commander 'Song Chai Xin' himself was unwilling to accept the 'gift' from the owner of this background.

However, that is another story.

The wind stopped and the rain stopped overnight.

The morning has passed and the sun is hanging high in the sky.

The sun was scorching above my head and the stone slabs under my feet made a creaking sound.

As the young guard took off his scarlet robe, put on a neat outfit, put up his long hair, and stepped into the martial arts street with a heroic look and a steady pace.
Before I even took a step forward, I suddenly looked up.
However, they saw that a "white cloth" had been floating on the beam pillar at some point, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

On it, a few large characters were written in black ink:
"Song Zhenshou is young and promising, with strong skills. He has killed traitors and swept away the old corruption. He is truly a rare official prodigy in Wutong Prefecture in a century."

"Shaoyang, Xuandu, Jianji martial arts halls, the younger generation, no one can match him. The rules of martial arts are the rules of martial arts, but the gap is too big. The 'end of artistic conception' of boxing is enough for a prefecture to take the lead, let alone a small city?"

"The three halls and seven schools are willing to regard Song Zhenshou as the 'leader of martial arts' of the younger generation of Black Mountain."

"From now on, every time someone in East Street accepts a disciple or receives money, he or she will pay 30% of the money to the government as tribute!"

Song Chaixin raised his eyebrows and looked at the large characters that were so vigorous and powerful that they could not be ignored.

I looked inside again.

Then he saw a bunch of angry martial arts disciples with faces full of dissatisfaction, looking over here from time to time, clenching their fists but not daring to move at all. He couldn't help but laugh:
"So reasonable?"

It made him feel embarrassed.

In that case
Then he won’t be polite!
He paid no attention to the various words of respect such as "young" written on the white cloth.

Song Chaixin waved his hand and the officers on both sides, led by Zheng Zizhen, walked out with swords in hand and moved quickly.

"did you see it?"

Pointing at the white cloth, Song Chaixin smiled:

"Warriors are always aggressive and aggressive, and it is difficult to maintain order."

"But since it's the martial arts street, I'm willing to bow down to the government's 'rules'"

"Then I think the garrison should also set up a station, and it will be run by um."

Seeing Zheng Zizhen trying to straighten his chest, Song Chaixin stretched out his finger and pointed casually:
"It's just you."

"From today on, you will be the leader of the police team at Yanwu Street. You will be responsible for telling them the rules of Black Mountain!"

"If you break the law, you must be punished!"

Crunch!

The sound of blood surging and bones being crushed came from not far away, causing Zheng Zizhen, who had originally been beaming with joy at his promotion, to sway unconsciously again.

Can he really control these young and energetic warriors?
One night ago, he was just a small errand boy guarding the city gate, and he was shivering in his heart.

But at this moment, a palm slapped his shoulder heavily.

Song Chaixin smiled and pointed inside:

"Just go."

"As for the rest, I will take care of it myself."

"I'm afraid they won't break the law. Otherwise, how can I establish my authority?"

"If you want to get promoted and make money, go inside."

"certainly."

"If you are afraid of death."

"I didn't say anything."

Zheng Zizhen lowered his head, feeling a little nervous.

But after listening to Song Chaixin's words, he thought of his deeds that night and day, and how he had finally sent all the visiting cards and letters. If he just turned back like this,
Wouldn’t it be a complete loss of face and future?
Even if you get beaten, you can still go back and complain about the injustice. What are you afraid of? Can you lose your life?

Compared with the future
Not worth mentioning!
It's done!

perhaps,

The decades that followed.

Whenever I think of the decisions I made today and yesterday.

Zheng Zizhen would be extremely grateful.

Compared to the aging Chen Zhao, he is still young and has unlimited possibilities.

Sometimes, it's just a small step forward.

Perhaps, you can lead a "completely different" life.

at this time,

Surrounded by clouds and mist, the Yunluan Mountain is where the fifteen-year-old Song Chaixin once said, "Thirty years later, this mountain will bow its head when it sees me!"
Because of a piece of jade talisman.

It also caused a stir.
Not a big wave!
