Chapter 394 Going North
The great general who protects the country!
Bai Yuan looked at the secret letter that was sent urgently from eight hundred miles away, and the shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.

These five words are so valuable.

Taibao is the head of military officers, but this is only an honorary recognition, just like the Ministry of War is in charge of the military.

But in actual operation, there are many constraints.

After all, the army is related to the safety of the country, and it is impossible for one person to have complete control over it, so the Taibao is actually more of a civilian official who controls the army.

But the situation of a national general is quite different.

According to the ancestral system established by Emperor Taizu, the Grand General Guarding the Nation could directly command the four armies, and his military power was second only to the emperor. Therefore, ever since the first general under Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor, served as the Grand General Guarding the Nation, this position has been vacant for a long time, and no one has held it, even as a nominal position.

The reason is that the general who guards the country has too much power, and it is military power.

No emperor would be content to let his subordinates be in charge of so many troops, especially during a prosperous period.

Emperor Li Chengyuan had the courage to do so, which really showed his courage.

Bai Yuan vaguely guessed Li Chengyuan's intention in doing so.

That is to let Xu Dingchun let go and reorganize the military, and then gather strength to conquer the martial arts world in one fell swoop. However, this move is too dangerous no matter how you look at it.

What if Xu Dingchun wants to rebel?

Before, Xu Dingchun was recalled with thirteen imperial edicts. It was not because Emperor Li Chengyuan was afraid of Xu Dingchun's great power and how Xu Dingchun would break through, but instead allowed Xu Dingchun to dominate the military.

The most likely possibility is that Xu Dingchun won the emperor's trust during his time in the capital.

Bai Yuan closed his eyes and stopped thinking about these things. The panel quietly appeared in front of him.

He has already upgraded the Tai Shang Qing Jing Lu to mastery. This skill is indeed a secret method of Quan Zhen that has not been passed down, but it has its own unique features.

This technique is an internal skill, and is mainly focused on self-cultivation and self-improvement.

But it does not mean that he is not strong. On the contrary, Tai Shang Qing Jing Lu is about removing all distracting thoughts first, so as to be able to fight as if assisted by a god and see through everything with wisdom, which is the highest level of combat.

However, what attracted Bai Yuan the most was that the Tai Shang Qing Jing Lu could suppress murderous intent.

As the number of killings increased, the murderous aura around him reached a level that was out of control.

Although it would not cause much harm to him personally, Bai Yuan did not want to be an unapproachable person, so it became necessary for him to practice the Tai Shang Qing Jing Lu.

The news about General Xu Dingchun, the great defender of the country, had not yet died down when another piece of news broke out in Xuanyang.

The first true disciple of Zhengyang Sect returned to the sea and headed north, intending to duel with Bai Yuan.

The monk Shen Chen from Xuanfa Temple also went to Xuanfa Temple on the same day.

The two geniuses went north almost on the same day. This move made people think more, especially when Xu Dingchun was about to take up the post of the general guarding the country.

Obviously, the two major gangs are no longer going to sit idly by and wait for death.

And their first target was Bai Yuan.

Directly attacking Xu Dingchun would undoubtedly be declaring war on the Xuanyang court. At this moment, Xuanyang was at its peak due to Xu Dingchun's breakthrough, so they chose Bai Yuan in order to weaken Xuanyang's fortune.

Upon hearing the news, many people in the underworld who were interested in doing good things also headed north.

They don't want to miss such a prosperous era.

Although it is rare to see Bai Yuan fighting Ming Xin with his knowledge, Gui Hai and Shen Chen were already world-renowned warriors thirty years ago.

Thirty years later, its strength has only become more terrifying.

Bai Yuan may not win.

At this time, Binzhou was already overcrowded, and the wanderers coming from all directions had filled the city to capacity.

Tang Baichuan was quite business-minded and was happy to see this happen. He even sent soldiers to maintain order.

With so many people, a huge amount of money would be spent just on accommodation, food and drink.

All this money will eventually be converted into taxes and returned to the hands of the Tang prefect, so he will naturally be happy.

In the Bai Mansion.

A man holding a bamboo sword and looking a little dull was standing quietly.

Bai Yuan took a few quick steps and laughed.

"Xiaobai, you are here as expected."

That person was Yue Xiaobai.

Yue Xiaobai had originally been in seclusion in Xiyue, but after hearing the news, he broke out of seclusion and rushed to Binzhou as soon as possible.

It’s not that I care about Bai Yuan’s comfort.

Instead, he felt that as a friend, he should be the first one to challenge Bai Yuan.

"bring it on."

Yue Xiaobai threw the scabbard in his hand aside, and his sword intent surged wildly.

During this period of seclusion in Mount Xiyue, he had an epiphany and his strength increased greatly.

Bai Yuan raised his brows slightly. Xiaobai was indeed much stronger than the last time they met.

interesting.

He clenched his right fist and punched Yue Xiaobai in the face.

"I'm sorry, I was a little too harsh just now. I have tried my best to restrain myself."

Bai Yuan looked apologetic.

Yue Xiaobai lay on the ground with his back facing up, feeling hopeless.

This time he was indeed not knocked to his knees in one move, but it was almost the same. Bai Yuan only used two punches to knock him over.

Yue Xiaobai finally stood up by holding his waist.

He returned to his previous icy face and said, "Don't underestimate those two just because you defeated me."

Bai Yuan showed an interested look.

As the one who was challenged by the two, he had of course received the news, but there was too little information about those two people.

Yue Xiaobai: "Gui Hai and Shen Chen are the most outstanding disciples of Zhengyang Sect and Xuanfa Temple in hundreds of years. As early as thirty years ago, they went to Xiyue Sect to challenge my senior brother. I saw them fight with my own eyes."

Bai Yuan asked: "How strong is it?"

Yue Xiaobai said in a deep voice: "Very strong. Now I am no match for them thirty years ago."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Yue Xiaobai is a genius of the Xiyue School. He is so confident that there are people who make him feel inferior to him.

You know, thirty years ago, those two people were almost the same age as Yue Xiaobai.

Bai Yuan's expression became serious: "I will be careful."

However, Yue Xiaobai changed the subject: "That's not necessary, you are also perverted."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Bai Yuan also felt the desire to fight.

After years of climbing the martial arts ladder, he was finally qualified to fight against the most outstanding talents in the world. Wasn't this a matter of pride?
Just when everyone thought that Bai Yuan would go into seclusion to prepare for the battle, the person involved acted as if nothing had happened and continued to go out early and come back late every day, even more frequently.

This attracted countless people from the city to watch.

They wanted to know why Bai Yuan left the city, but unfortunately no one could keep up with Bai Yuan. As soon as he left the city, Bai Yuan seemed to disappear out of thin air. This made everyone look forward to the showdown even more.

The number one of the younger generation may be decided in Binzhou City.

This is the most prosperous era in the martial arts world in the past hundred years.

Three days later.

Gui Hai and Shen Chen appeared at the same time on the outskirts of Yanzhou.

The two geniuses finally arrived in the northern border.

This can't help but make people more excited.

Three days later, two figures slowly appeared on the official road outside Binzhou City, and countless people lined the road to greet them.

The prefect Tang Baichuan even stood on the city wall himself. He looked at the two people a mile away from him, and his heart was shocked.

He is indeed Xuanyang’s most outstanding genius!
On top of the Binzhou city wall.

Tang Baichuan swallowed secretly.

The two young juniors intimidated him too much. Although he was several decades older than them, he felt that he would be killed with just one slap in the face.

That's how scary it is.

When he was surprised, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Xiaobai, we should learn from them in the future."

Tang Baichuan turned his head and saw that Bai Yuan had already walked to the top of the city wall, and with him was Yue Xiaobai, the Western Mountain Divine Sword.

"Master Bai."

Tang Baichuan consciously made way to give Bai Yuan the best view.

Bai Yuan was not polite and stood on the top of the city wall with Yue Xiaobai.

When the martial artists in Binzhou City saw the two men appear, they became even more excited.

Many of them recognized that the person standing next to Bai Yuan was Yue Xiaobai, known as the Western Mountain Divine Sword, a rare genius among the younger generation.

Four young dragons gathered in Binzhou, what a prosperous time!
Bai Yuan didn't care about the eyes from people in the city at all. He looked at the two people on the official road.

Gui Hai and Shen Chen looked quite impressive, at least much stronger than him, and they walked very slowly, with each step having its own unique charm.

Tsk, I'll walk this way from now on.

Bai Yuan secretly exclaimed that he had learned something.

One cool trick a day.

However, the aura of those two people was indeed very strong. Even though they were far away from each other, he could already feel their power.

He is indeed the genius who made Xiaobai feel ashamed thirty years ago.

Finally, Gui Hai and Shen Chen arrived at the gate of Binzhou city.

They both looked up at Bai Yuan who was high above the city wall.

Bai Yuan looked down at the two of them. Because of their positions, there was a natural suppression on them. Bai Yuan was a head taller than them, so no matter how strong they were, they still had to look up to him.

"Xiaobai, isn't it a great feeling to look down like this?"

"."

Yue Xiaobai did not answer. He had long been accustomed to Bai Yuan's wild ideas and just ignored them all.

Bai Yuan secretly thought it was a pity.

Xiaobai is a good person in every way, except that he talks too little.

It is true that people feel lonely when they are at the top.

But when he glanced around, he saw at least hundreds of people on the city wall, so he didn't seem lonely anymore.

Just as his thoughts were drifting, Gui Hai at the gate slowly spoke: "Zhengyang Gate, Gui Hai, I have come to ask for your advice."

Bai Yuan looked towards the returning sea.

Gui Hai is extremely handsome, but he doesn't have the slightest air of a gentleman. Instead, he has a pure chivalrous air, the kind of person who can blend in perfectly even if he's wearing fancy clothes and drinking in a tavern.

Obviously, Gui Hai is not the kind of genius who grew up in a greenhouse.

In fact, all of Xuanyang's true geniuses had emerged from a sea of ​​blood.

Bai Yuan whispered: "Zhengyang Gate"

Among the many major sects in Xuanyang, the Zhengyang Sect is the most unique one.

Because even if this school is Taoism, it is not Buddhism, but a pure martial arts sect founded by a great master in the previous dynasty. In the beginning, it was actually far from its current height, but the great master had a good vision, and two of his five disciples became great masters.

After that, every sect leader continued to have this good vision, and great masters emerged in every generation.

In just a few thousand years, it has grown into a behemoth that can be compared with the ten-thousand-year-old sects such as the Dragon and Tiger Sect and the Xuanfa Temple.

Gui Hai is the most outstanding disciple of Zhengyang Sect in the past hundred years. According to the tradition of Zhengyang Sect, he is very likely to become a great master in the future.

This is the power of inheritance.

If it were placed in Lingzhou Shenfu Gate, it would be impossible to cultivate the existence of Tongshenguan.

They have thousands of years of foundation, which cannot be defeated by the efforts of one generation.

Gui Hai appeared here, ostensibly to stop Bai Yuan from cleaning up the northern martial arts world, but his real purpose was to interrupt Xuanyang's thriving Guo Yuan.

This is something very mysterious.

Because the growth of Xuanyang's national fortune will inevitably devour the fortune of the martial arts world, this is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Xuanyang is not the previous dynasty. It will never allow a sect to control the government and then coexist with it, so the two sides have always been in a delicate balance.

Until time accumulates, and finally you have to fight.

Bai Yuan looked at the young monk in tattered robe beside Gui Hai.

Although his clothes were not fancy, and even looked similar to those of monks who traveled around the world begging for alms, his fair and handsome skin and eyes as clear as the lake made him unforgettable.

Xuanfa Temple is the strongest branch of the Southern School of Buddhism.

This lineage has a huge influence in the south, comparable to that of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. At its peak, there was a grand occasion where five gods appeared in one temple, making it a holy place of Buddhist martial arts.

I don’t know how many devout men and women have made this place of pilgrimage.

This Buddhist disciple Shenchen did not have many records of taking action. The last time he took action was when he killed a big demon that was harming the people. After that, he has been practicing hard in Xuanfa Temple.

Now that he has appeared again, his Buddhist teachings must be even more profound.

Shen Chen put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Bai, I came here this time to invite you to stay at Xuanfa Temple for a while."

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Invitation to stay?
It was obvious that they just wanted to trap him in the Xuanfa Temple first.

With his current identity, even the Hanging Temple would not dare to touch him at will, but they could let Shen Chen fight with him first, and then take him to the Hanging Temple after defeating him.

If you are not as skilled as others, even the imperial court cannot do anything about it.

Moreover, the Hanging Temple did not imprison Bai Yuan, but invited Bai Yuan to the temple to listen to Buddhist music.

For many Xuanyang officials who are fond of Buddhism, this kind of fortune is simply a great blessing that they would never be able to obtain.

Bai Yuan sneered, "What if I don't want to?"

Shen Chen chanted Amitabha again: "Donor Bai, I sincerely invite you. You and my Buddha are predestined. It is all predestined relationship."

"."

Bai Yuan was speechless.

He always felt that this sounded so familiar.

He soon remembered that Master Pei had said exactly the same thing.

It is said that there are many charlatans in Buddhism and Taoism. The rhetoric of these two people is similar, except that one talks about fate and the other talks about Buddhism.

This time Bai Yuan believed in Master Pei, not because he really believed in the illusory fate, but because Master Pei was good at fighting and Shen Chen was not qualified, that was all.

Bai Yuan pulled out the bloody scimitar from his waist in a domineering manner: "Stop talking so much, come on!"

After hearing these words, thousands of people under the city gate were shocked.

The process of making threats before the fight has ended, and the exciting moment has finally arrived.

It's boring to hear a master with status utter harsh words, it's really unsatisfying to hear them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gui Hai jumped up.

The leap was a full twenty feet long and landed directly on the Binzhou city wall, making people's eyelids twitch.

The show finally begins!
