Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family. What is to enter the Dao with martial arts, and to peek into the realm of heaven and man, that is only a very small number of martial arts great masters are qualified to come into contact. As for the vast majority of those who wander the rivers and lakes, they are just seeking money, making a living in order to support their families, and at most they are just trying to start a career.

Since they can't get rid of the shackles of fame and fortune, coming to Bai Yujing to try to break through is the first choice for most young Jianghu people. Because no matter whether it is opening a martial arts hall, opening a dart game, or serving as a guest for the emperor's relatives, relatives and dignitaries, or even enlisting in the army, here in Bai Yujing, it is easier to get ahead than elsewhere.

In this case, those who can be selected for the palace to serve as guards either have a good family background and a big background, or have extraordinary skills, and they must be exquisite and able to be a person. One or the other. You even need to have both.

Like Xiao Jianshi, because of his good family background, he was specially selected to serve as a guard in the palace. As for the disciples of sects such as the Ranshan Sect and the Shixiang Sect, it is the latter.

Xiao Jianshi suddenly rose to the occasion and defeated three guards from the Zhou family in Beicheng (Wuyang City), the Lan family from Xizhen (Fuxi Town), and the Wu family from Nanzhai (Qingtian Village). In a way, it's in the way of others. Zhou, Lan, and Wu, of course, were not angry.

The eight great families are also divided into upper and lower. Like the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, the skillful Lu family, the time-honored Wen family, and the Lei family in Perak Hall, because of the remote place, no matter how rich and powerful, no matter how many masters in the clan. But they have nothing to do with the nobles of Bai Yujing, and they are just local tyrants after all. Just like the Lei family, they look extremely majestic on the surface, but in fact, as long as an edict is issued by the imperial court, they can immediately be sent into a desperate situation.

However, Zhou, Lan, Wu, and a Huang family have all been rooted in Bai Yujing for several generations, and the relationship network woven can be described as intertwined and extremely far-reaching. It's not something anyone can just move.

Even if an existence of the level of Zhuge Taifu or Prime Minister Yan wants to attack these four great families, he will have a lot of worries, and he feels that he will affect his whole body. If it is not good, it will turn into a big melee of many forces above the court at any time. The consequences are so serious that no one can control them.

In this case, since the people of Zhou, Lan, Wu, and the three families suffered losses under Xiao Jianshi, of course they would not endure it, and they would definitely take revenge and regain their lost face.

Now that he knows that the reason why Xiao Jianshi suddenly became so powerful, it is entirely due to Cheng Li. So today, Zhou, Lan, Wu and other three families have also brought in several masters of their own families - including a general manager of Beicheng, two elders of Xizhen, and a hall master of Nanzhai. is going to take the opportunity to give Cheng Li a dismissal, so that he knows that in Bai Yujing, there are some people who cannot be offended.

But now, what kind of thoughts about getting off the horse have long been thrown out of the clouds. When it was the turn of several masters from the three families to come up to meet Cheng Li, they not only never mentioned that their family was defeated by Xiao Jianshi and wanted to get back to the field. On the contrary, he smiled and flattered. even warmly invited Cheng Li to go to Nanzhai, Xizhen, and Beicheng to play. Cheng Li didn't care either, and agreed to come down one by one.

This is not perfunctory. During this time, Cheng Li did not just eat and sleep in the Taifu Mansion. Since Zhuge Taifu is the owner of Xiuchun Building, and Cheng Li himself is one of the hundred households of Xiuchun Building. Then there's no reason not to take advantage of the convenience that comes with this status. Therefore, Cheng Li deliberately found a lot of files of Xiuchun Building and flipped through them.

The level of these volumes is only normal. There are no major secrets recorded in it, but it is very much like a running account. A brief record and summary is made for the subject's daily life. But Cheng Li believes that this kind of ledger-like record can actually best reflect the true side of a person. It is the most helpful for him to understand the many forces in Bai Yujing.

Previously, Cheng Li only focused on reading the files about the "Twelve Dry Cities" and related personnel. But yesterday Xiao Jianshi came back and told him that after defeating the children of the three families of Beicheng, Xizhen, Nanzhai and so on, Cheng Li specially found the records of the three of them, plus Dongbao (Shaking Heaven Castle), a total of four families, and read them in detail.

Cheng Li learned from the records that the Heaven-Shaking Fort on the east side of Baiyujing Mountain, its contemporary castle owner was named Huang Taixing. Sex is like fire, heroic and dry, with a unique mastery of "demon slaying thunderbolt" has been famous in the rivers and lakes for decades, and has never been defeated. However, he is very old, and in recent years, he has rarely appeared on the rivers and lakes, but he only enjoys the beauty of people at home.

Qingtianzhai in the south of Baiyujing originally belonged to the family business founded by the Wu family. The contemporary owner of the village is named Wu Gangzhong, nicknamed "Three Absolute Thunder". However, Wu Gangzhong has no son, only an only daughter named Wu Caiyun. But he also has an extremely outstanding disciple named Zhen Chengfeng. Therefore, Wu Gangzhong planned to let his apprentice marry his daughter, and then inherit the foundation of Qingtianzhai as a son-in-law. If it can be done, it will be a good talk. However, some people in the side branch of the Wu family strongly opposed this. For this reason, the relationship between the two sides is very stiff.

Fuxi Town is a small town in the west of Baiyujing. Because it is located on a traffic artery, it is a necessary place to enter and exit Baiyujing. So it's very bustling and lively. The town lord has been served by the Lan family for generations. The contemporary town owner is named Lan Yuanshan, nicknamed "Tai Sui". The city is quite deep, and the martial arts are also deeply hidden, and it is rarely shot. But there are also rumors in the rivers and lakes that Lan Yuanshan's "Crazy Soaring Divine Skill" has been cultivated to the realm of pure fire, and there are less than ten fingers of people who can have the same attainments in the martial arts.

Wuyang City is located in the north of Baiyujing. It is located in the middle of nowhere and has a cold climate. The contemporary city lord's surname is Zhou, and his name is Xueyu. Under the age of thirty. The character is lonely and high, and he is jealous and hateful. once went out to hunt down some notorious scum in the martial arts. There is no living mouth under the sword. It can be said that whether it is a person or a sword, they are all sharp, and he is the most eye-catching and frivolous person in the four major families.

The heads of the four major families of Bai Yujing have different temperaments. But looking at what they do in their daily lives, there is no doubt that they are all righteous people. Even the disciples below the four great families rarely have any traitorous skills. Once anyone exceeds the rules, then there is no need for the government to take action, and the four great families themselves will dispose of this person first.

Therefore, Dongbao, Nanzhai, Xizhen and Beicheng are inhabited by many ordinary people who do not belong to the people in the martial arts, and they all live and work in peace and contentment under the protection of the four families. It is completely different from the fishy people of the Lei family in the thunderbolt hall in Jiangnan, and the bullying behavior that runs rampant in the township.

Perhaps, this is also the real reason why the relationship between the four families of Bai Yujing and the four other families such as the Tangmen in Shuzhong, the time-honored Wen family, the skillful Lu family, and the Lei family in Perak Hall has always been just plain, and even rarely interacts with each other. After all, the Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

But after watching the dossier of the four major families. Cheng Li believes that these four people are worth fighting for. It is necessary to find an opportunity to talk to the heads of the four major families. At this moment, since the chief manager of Nanzhai West Town and Beicheng Elder Hall Master invited Cheng Li to be a guest respectively. Cheng Li can be said to be in the right place, of course, he agreed.
