Chapter 83 Jiulin Alliance
Capturing bandits with a hundred men at a Jianghu gathering is like tearing off the skin of all Jianghu warriors and trampling them on the ground...

"If the Zhao family is willing to take them down, that would be great."

Zhang Yuan smiled and stood up.

"Please ask Chief Clerk Zhao to compile these into a book, and I will show it to Master Zhao Liu."

"Chen Wu, Huang Sanliang, you will be responsible for the safety of the Chief Clerk in Jiulin for the next few days."

Chen Wu and Huang Sanliang bowed quickly.

Zhao Yu was just about to ask Zhang Yuan where he was going, but saw that Zhang Yuan had already left.

……

Jiulin County is not big, and there are only three streets and alleys in the prosperous area.

Zhang Yuan walked through the streets for a while in the dark, and quietly turned to the back door of a small courtyard.

There was no one around, so he put on the black tiger mask and flew into the courtyard.

While entering the hospital, he did not move, but raised his hands and clapped a few times.

"Snapped--"

"Clap--"

A light cough was heard in the side room.

"What's that noise at night? I'm afraid it's attracting thieves..."

The lights came on, and a moment later, a fifty-year-old man in a gray robe opened the door with an oil lamp in one hand.

"It's all because of the Zhao family's alliance. I can't sleep well at night..."

Seeing Zhang Yuan in the courtyard, the old man showed surprise on his face and whispered, "Master Black Tiger."

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and took out a black iron token.

The old man raised his oil lamp, read the words on the token, and bowed slightly. "Nine Forest Black Ice Terrace Secret Guard Shao Yi greets the Captain."

It was the real Black Tiger, not the rumored Sixth Master Zhao from the Zhao family.

In fact, people in Heibing Taichung certainly know that Mr. Zhao Liu cannot be the Black Tiger.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "I want all the information about the Jiulin Zhao family in recent years."

"Including cases involving the Zhao family's controlled Shanzhai."

Shao Yi was slightly stunned, then nodded quickly: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will sort out all the information right away."

Zhang Yuan went to the front hall, and a moment later, Shao Yi brought out a thick stack of volumes.

"Sir, the Zhao family has been operating in Jiulin for decades, especially since Zhao Changchun entered the Xiantian realm, the Zhao family's influence has expanded rapidly."

"Over the years, the Zhao family has been involved in many cases, but due to Zhao Changchun's Xiantian realm cultivation, the county government has been suppressing them."

Shao Yi showed a helpless look on his face.

Zhao Changchun, who is in the Xiantian realm, is already the strongest person in Jiulin County.

The Jiulin County government also did not want to conflict with Zhao Changchun.

A county town with a Xiantian realm master is different from one without a Xiantian realm master.

Zhang Yuan flipped through the file and nodded.

"This matter must not be known to outsiders."

Zhang Yuan left with the files. Shao Yi showed a trace of emotion on his face and muttered to himself.

"The sky of Jiulin is about to change..."

……

The sun is rising.

Ten miles outside Jiulin County is Jiulin Mountain.

A wooden platform has been built in the wide area at the foot of the mountain, and martial artists are scattered in groups of three or two on the open flat ground.

This is the venue for the Jianghu Alliance.

The Nine Forests Jianghu Alliance is held here.

"The leader of Santai Mountain Guo Bailang has arrived—"

"Master Zheng Xiang of the Fengting faction is here to attend the meeting."

"Heimu Mountain Pan Sanjiang Village Master Pan has arrived—"

"Qingshan Village Chief Yao Gao has arrived—"

Almost every martial artist who was called out would cause a stir. Many martial artists excitedly looked up at the seats beside the wooden platform.

"Pan Sanjiang of Heimu Mountain seems to have entered the late stage of the post-natal realm three years ago. He is also a famous master."

"Tsk tsk, Xu Changzhi from the Duyuan Sword Sect is here. He should be one of the top five sword masters among the younger generation in Luyang Prefecture in recent years."

"Apart from anything else, the fact that Master Zhao Liu was able to gather so many forces and so many powerful people shows his prestige."

The people and affairs of the underworld, if you participate in such a scene once, you can brag about it for half your life.

In addition to fighting and killing, there is also treating people to meals in the underworld.

Being able to talk about what you saw today at the dinner table is seen by outsiders as an opportunity to broaden your horizons.

If I could really live to be old and gray, lying on a reclining chair, fanning myself, and muttering, "Thinking back to the time when I attended the Jiulin Alliance, that scene..."

People need some passion and some dreams.

"Master Zhao Liu has arrived—"

"Mr. Zhang is here——"

As they shouted, everyone saw two teams of figures walking quickly towards the seats at the edge of the stage.

Mr. Zhao Liu, wearing a dark brocade robe and an iron crown on his head, walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, followed by a team of strong Zhao family members as guards.

Mr. Zhang Erye, wearing a navy blue military officer's robe, came with his hands behind his back, followed by a team of guards in black iron armor, looking majestic.

The originally noisy venue suddenly became silent.

This kind of scene where martial artists from the martial arts world and officials appeared at the same time seemed to have never happened before in the martial arts world of Luyang Prefecture.

Mr. Zhao Liu stopped, looked around, and smiled.

The number of people and momentum of this alliance were the highest in Luyang Prefecture in hundreds of years.

How could Zhao Changchun not be proud of such an achievement?
Zhang Yuan walked to the edge of the stage and stopped.

Zhao Liuye smiled and bowed to Zhang Yuan, then clasped his hands together and said, "I'm grateful to all of you fellow martial artists for your kindness and honor in joining us in this Nine Forests Alliance."

"Zhao Changchun is here to pay his respects."

The warriors who were sitting stood up to return the greeting, and nearly three thousand warriors below hurriedly bowed and clasped their fists.

Zhao Changchun glanced over and spoke again, "We are honored to have invited Second Master Zhang to this meeting. If you are interested in joining the Wuwei Yamen, you must demonstrate your abilities."

As long as Zhao Changchun takes the position of leader of the alliance and controls Jiulin and the surrounding strongholds, he can let go of other matters.

What's more, he took the opportunity of the alliance to help the Wuwei Yamen recruit soldiers, which further demonstrated the great power of Mr. Zhao Liu.

Even the Wuwei Yamen had to use Mr. Zhao Liu to recruit soldiers.

Zhao Yu was in the audience, watching Mr. Zhao Liu speak passionately, and then he announced the start of the alliance.

The rule of the martial arts world is to make friends through martial arts, and the alliance here is of course still based on martial arts.

I originally thought that Zhao Liuye was the only one standing on the stage, waiting for everyone to challenge him, but I didn't expect that Zhao Liuye just sat back in his original seat and talked in a low voice with Zhang Yuan and others.

There were quite a few warriors arranged on the stage, all of whom were from several famous forces that had formed an alliance today. When they came on stage, they either demonstrated a set of swordsmanship or a set of boxing techniques.

Those who wanted to know the inside story and watch the fun were mostly cheering and applauding from the audience.

After dancing for most of the day, members of the Zhao family arrived carrying large barrels of meat and large jars of wine.

It turns out that the world of Jianghu is all about eating and drinking.

Zhao Yu also grabbed a large piece of meat and a large bowl of wine and sat aside.

"I haven't had a full meal in several days. I've been waiting for this one."

"After I'm full, I'll go up on stage and walk around. It's three taels of silver, and I'd bet on it if I didn't make some."

"Don't worry, there's another challenge this afternoon. I'll give you five cents of silver for every win. I'll definitely beat him three times before I come down."

Zhao Yu looked at the martial artists who were drinking and eating meat with big mouthfuls.

Really fragrant.

After eating and drinking, there was a martial arts competition on the stage in the afternoon.

According to the rules set by the Zhao family, as long as you go on stage to fight, you will get money regardless of whether you win or lose.

Three cents for loss, five cents for win.

The martial arts performance on the stage turned into a ring fight, and the scene of fists and feet flying back and forth made people's blood boil.

Many warriors are ready to fight.
