At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 303: Fight for Sword Palace

The Xiliang Marquis shook his head and said, "Every year, the Northern Wei cavalry invades the four states of Xiliang countless times. To be honest, your father and brother deserve to die."

"I'll fight you."

Liu Yuanqi was like an angry lion.

Xiao Han looked disdainful, "I won't kill you today."

"In the war between Xiliang and Northern Wei, right and wrong no longer mattered. You killed me, I killed you, a century-old blood feud."

His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. "But ask yourselves, when my Xiliang cavalry marched across Hexi Province and Juzizhou, when did we ever massacre a city? And when your Northern Wei cavalry marched south, they killed everyone in their path."

"Now, there are still many people from the Northern Wei Dynasty who were plundered in Xiliang. They are not slaves, but my people of Xiliang. They live and work in peace and contentment in Xiliang. If you don't believe me, you can go around Xiliang and see for yourself."

"Why does this king want to build a new academy? Some people from the Northern Wei and Central Plains can enter the palace."

Xiao Han stood up and sighed, "This world has been in chaos for too long. Whether it is the Northern Wei or the Central Plains, they will be powerless to change this situation."

He changed the subject and said, "But I, the king, will go against the will of heaven. This academy was not built for me, but for the people of the world."

"What this king wants is to stop the fighting and pacify the chaotic world."

His tone was not passionate, but it made many knowledgeable people excited.

"In the future, there will no longer be a distinction between Western Liang and Northern Wei, and there will no longer be internal strife."

Xiao Han clasped his hands together and bowed to the people around him, saying, "Everyone, would you like to lend me a helping hand?"

"this?"

No one expected that the King of Xiliang would say such words today. He was not only arrogant but also short of saying the word rebellion.

But so what?
Even if he said he wanted to rebel, what could the Central Plains court do?
There are 500,000 cavalrymen from Xiliang. Under his command, there are countless masters and counselors. He has strong soldiers and horses, controls four states, and occupies half of the country.

Xiao Han is qualified to say such words.

"well said."

Master Xun laughed: "If the King of Xiliang did not have such a broad mind and courage, I would not have come all the way here and brought my disciples to the academy."

"Husband."

Ning Xi beside her clenched her fair hands tightly, her heart trembling uncontrollably.

Even though she already knew her man's ambition, she still felt her heart surge when she saw him speak it out in front of the whole world.

Only a man like this is worthy of my talent and my efforts.

Qingyao's lips curled up slightly. Although she didn't say anything, the tight expression between her brows told it all.

"Your Majesty, do you have such lofty ambitions in governing the country?"

The head of Liangyi Temple of Northern Wei stepped out and asked with a serious expression.

"nature."

Xiao Han nodded.

"This king knows that many of you today feel that what I said is high-sounding."

He said: "Everyone, just look at what I have done. The gate of Xiliang and the gate of the academy will always be open to you."

Many people were already tempted, but were just hesitating. Xiao Han did not force them, so he just sat down and kept silent.

As for Liu Yuanqi, he was just a clown and he didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

The work continued in the main hall, and the masters of the Military Palace, the Law Palace, the Ink Palace and other palaces were decided one after another.

This academy ceremony can be said to be a rare grand event in the world. At least in the past sixty years, the two rivers and lakes have not been so lively.

In a blink of an eye, the masters of the eleven palaces of Wendao had all been selected. The Central Plains martial arts world occupied the majority, the Northern Wei martial arts world had a smaller number, and DNA also had a few seats.

The eleven palace masters are all well-known figures in the two martial arts circles.

The next step is to select the Palace Master of the Seventh Palace of Martial Arts.

Xunzi shouted: "Wu Qigong, the master of the first palace."

The competition for the Wen Palace and the Wu Palace probably isn't that fierce, as warriors from all over the world are aiming for the position of the Palace Master of the Wu Palace.

If you can take down one of the palace masters, it means you can become the best in the world. Especially for the two palaces, the Sword Palace and the Knife Palace, there will definitely be competition among them, and no one is willing to let others occupy them.

"I come."

A burly man rushed out of the crowd, stepped onto the stone platform, and shouted, "The Western Region Crazy Three Swordsmen dare to want the position of the Sword Palace Master. Any brother who is not convinced can step onto the stage."

The man clasped his fists and spoke in an extremely arrogant tone. He exuded a domineering aura from head to toe, and it was obvious that he had reached the Grandmaster level.

"I'm not convinced."

Another sword master appeared, and the two immediately started fighting.

"It's a bit presumptuous to compete for the position of Sword Palace Master in front of the King of Xiliang."

Someone spoke in a low voice, with a hint of mockery in the tone.

There are two martial arts circles in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Central Plains. Everyone knows that Xiao Han, the King of Xiliang, is the real number one swordsman of Scorpio love.

However, Xiao Han no longer needs the identity of the Sword Palace Master to highlight his reputation. Even the title of the world's number one swordsman is just an empty title in his eyes.

If I were to argue with these people today, it would be tantamount to lowering my status and would be really boring.

"Wonderful."

The two Taoist masters clashed with each other, their sword energies collided, and all kinds of exquisite moves were exchanged.

It was an eye-opener. After seventy moves, the winner was decided and Western Region Kuang Sandao won.

"Is there anyone who still disagrees?"

Kuang Sandao roared.

"You little brat, we can't let a barbarian like you act so recklessly in this academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elegant middle-aged man in a splendid white robe came onto the stage, holding a long sword with a sheath in his hand.

"puff"

The long sword was unsheathed, and a shimmering sword light rolled up, like an upside-down Milky Way. The sword energy was pervasive, splitting monuments and cracking rocks.

After fifteen moves, the long sword in Kuang Sandao's hand was cut off and he fell off the stage.

The fights among the Sword Palace Masters were all brutal and brutal. In just a short period of time, several great martial arts masters came on stage. They were all long-established sword masters in the two martial arts circles.

Among the several martial arts circles, warriors still make up the majority. Although the disciples of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are famous and powerful, they are still not as good as warriors in terms of numbers.

Warriors are subject to fewer constraints, do whatever they want, and value fame and fortune more.

Becoming the Palace Master of Sword Palace not only brings fame and fortune, enjoys a high position and generous salary, but also has access to many top martial arts secrets.

What’s more important is that behind the academy is the King of Xiliang, Xiao Han, and his 500,000 cavalry. For most warriors, having such a backer on the list is something they can only dream of.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many masters joining Xie Xuanli's army back then, if it weren't for the conditions such as fame and fortune or the exchange of interests.

Could it be that Xie Xuanli really has such a eloquent tongue that he can make a dead person appear alive?

Today, Xiao Han's power is far greater than Xie Xuanli's, so naturally, those martial arts masters will flock to him.

"Jiangzhou wins thirteen consecutive victories."

Master Xun shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge us?"

On the stone platform, a man in his forties was holding a long knife as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand with a calm expression.
