Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 229 Qingxuan Daomen takes action

"Zhang Nineteen!"

Inside the small building, three people spoke in unison.

Martial arts student Zhang Shijiu is the Black Tiger!
"That's right," Xun Huo stroked his hand, his eyes gleaming. "Only he, the Black Tiger, can explain how a mere student like him could command all the other students to obey his orders, even allowing him to participate in today's banquet."

Talented people in the world cannot appear out of thin air.

Among the students being trained in martial arts, Zhang Shijiu's methods and strength are too outstanding.

That kind of prestige should not be possessed by students of the same level.

"He's Black Tiger, so he can fight me." Cao Chunbao clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "I should have thought of this earlier. Besides Black Tiger, who else in Zhengyang County could have such fighting power?"

Cao Chunbao was a strong man in the Imperial Guard, but he was defeated by Zhang Shijiu in three moves.

Only Zhang Shijiu, the powerful man who led eight hundred black cavalrymen to kill the master, could make him feel balanced.

"It can only be him..." Wen Gezheng whispered with a complicated expression.

He hadn't said it yet, but Zhang Shijiu was clearly at the Grandmaster level.

It turns out that he is Black Tiger.

"Zhang Shijiu is the Black Tiger, so the layout of the Zhengyang County government—"

Xun Huo's face was filled with excitement: "I thought it was just a play, but I didn't expect it to be so big."

"This kind of handwriting is rare to see."

Only in border counties, where the underworld forces are loose and the county government is not strong, would such calculations and plots appear.

In the central prefectures of the Qin Dynasty, either the army swept across the area, or the emperor directly offered tributes to the emperor, so it was difficult for the underworld forces to rise.

As for the few counties where underworld forces are powerful, most of those underworld forces have court backgrounds, and their relationship with the government is more cooperative.

"These martial arts students have practiced military formations dozens of times. Such an attitude towards work is rare even in Shangjun, which is located near the imperial city." Cao Chunbao also spoke with a smile.

Seeing through Zhengyang County's layout and looking at their attitude towards work, both Cao Chunbao and Xun Huo felt anticipation.

"What preparations has the Qingxuan Taoist sect made?" Xun Huo rubbed his palms together, his eyes shining.

"Wen Gongfeng, take my letter and ask Yu Zhentang, the head of the Supervisory Department, to come see me."

……

When Yu Zhentang saw Xun Huo again, his expression was extremely serious.

Before, everyone was just pretending and acting out their own plays.

But just now, Wen Gezheng went to the Supervisory Office with the token of Marquis Pingyun to invite Yu Zhentang to come, which was different.

"Yu Zhentang, the head of the Zhengyang County Supervisory Department, greets Marquis Pingyun."

Yu Zhentang clasped his fists and saluted.

Xun Huo raised his hand, took out a pale purple edict and unfolded it.

"The Emperor of Great Qin decrees that Xun Huo, Marquis of Pingyun, be appointed as an Inspector General to investigate the case of the Zhengyang County government's dereliction of duty and the chaos that has plagued the Jianghu."

Xun Huo's voice was calm.

Yu Zhentang wanted to speak, but finally held back.

With the imperial edict, there is no point in making excuses.

Xun Huo smiled and waved his hand: "Captain Yu, you have done something really big. You are actually going to wipe out the entire underworld in Zhengyang County."

Curiosity flashed across his face. "Chief Yu, I'm not asking about the arrangements at the county government. I want to know, based on what Black Ice Platform knows, what arrangements have been made at the Qingxuan Dao Sect?"

It would be pointless to ask too much about the layout of the county government.

It would be interesting to see who the underworld forces are and what arrangements they have made, and whether Black Ice Platform has already taken control of them.

"The three major sects, Qingxuan Dao Sect, Shattered Star Sect, and Flowing Light Sword Sect, as well as the various large and small martial arts forces in the surrounding prefectures and counties, will all come to Chilong Ridge."

"The members of the Green Bamboo Gang have arrived one after another. They will block the area around Red Dragon Ridge and prevent any intruders from spying."

"Feng Xun, the martial arts master of Dailan County, Zhang Shangke, the late Xiantian realm expert of Julu County, and Cai Wen, the elder of Qinghe Wuzong of Pingzhang Prefecture, are all famous figures in the martial arts world."

"There is also a Taoist from the outside world, a cultivator of the immortal way, who has already arrived at the Qingxuan Dao Sect."

According to the information held by Heibingtai, the Qingxuan Taoist sect has indeed mobilized almost all of its connections this time and is really determined to wipe out the Yuanwu sect.

Even Cao Chunbao and Xun Huo's expressions grew solemn as they listened to Yu Zhentang's words. "The Qingxuan Dao sect appears to emphasize inaction, but in reality, it uses elixirs as a draw, attracting many who yearn for immortality or retired officials frustrated with their careers." Yu Zhentang's expression was also serious.

"If they really wipe out the Yuanwu Sect this time and become the number one Jianghu sect in Zhengyang County, it will not be a good thing for Zhengyang County."

"Yes." Xun Huo nodded, his eyes gleaming with depth. "If they follow their plan and display their overwhelming strength, I'm afraid even I, the Marquis, would seek to recruit them rather than suppress them."

"They should be thinking the same thing."

If a gang is not strong enough, the government will not give it any face. If anything happens, it will definitely be wiped out directly.

But if that underworld force is strong enough, so strong that it would cost the government a huge price to eliminate it, then it will not be eliminated directly.

Most of them were recruited, given some benefits, and assigned some dispensable positions.

For those in power, these positions are nothing, and most of them are positions with few opportunities for promotion throughout their lives.

But for martial artists in the martial arts world, that is already a step to heaven.

"Interesting! I'm actually looking forward to seeing how your Zhengyang County suppresses the martial arts world."

Xun Huo looked at Yu Zhentang and said with a smile.

"Chief Yu, today's events must not be disclosed to others. Otherwise, it would be considered as forming a clique for personal gain and leaking confidential information."

Yu Zhentang clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

When he walked out of the martial arts school, Yu Zhentang looked up at the clear and bright moon with a smile on his face.

From the attitude of Pingyun Hou, it can be seen that as long as the suppression of the martial arts world is done well this time, all the officials of Zhengyang County will pass the test.

Their plan was worthwhile and finally changed the situation.

After that, it will depend on the actual combat test of martial arts.

------------------

Near the Zhengyang County government, more and more people with swords and knives gathered.

The Yuanwu Sect has given up its garrison, and all the strong men in the sect have gone to the Chilong Temple to protect the great elder He Jinquan who is recovering from his injuries.

Longxiang Wuzong, who had a good relationship with Yuanwumen, also went to Chilong Temple under the leadership of Sect Leader Duan Ta.

The two sides had clashed several times around Chilong Ridge alone.

It is said that Yuanwumen and Longxiang Wuzong have begun to retreat into the Chilong Temple and are doing their best to defend the Chilong Temple in order to stabilize the situation.

As long as He Jinquan's injury can be reversed, with his status as the number one man in the underworld of Zhengyang County, what situation can't he handle?
The actions of Yuanwu Sect naturally aroused the vigilance of Qingxuan Taoist Sect.

More and more martial artists from the martial arts world gathered around Chilong Ridge.

The turmoil in the martial arts world eventually caused unrest around the county town.

Many people went to the county town to report.

In order to calm the panic of the people, the county city sent out garrison troops to patrol all directions to prevent those martial artists from fighting in the countryside during the day.

Only when the garrison troops leave will the martial artists in the martial arts world fight again.

In addition, an elite gathering supported by the county government and hosted by Prince Zhao's Mansion was held outside the county city of Zhengyang County.

It was a gathering of thousands of talented people from all the counties of Daqin and hundreds of heroes from Zhengyang County, with thousands of guards and followers scattered around.

There were countless people watching the fun.

This scene and the topics of conversation somewhat alleviated the tension that the underworld situation brought to the people.

The gathering lasted three days, with discussions on poetry, calligraphy, painting, boxing, weapons, and philosophy, and many true elites showed their background and talents.

……

At Zhengyang County Martial Arts School, a warrior in a black robe came running.

"Qingxuan Dao Sect has taken action."

Xun Huo whispered while standing on the small building.

"Woo——"

The sound of the horn rang out in the martial arts.
