Chapter 161 The horse stepped on the rivers and lakes, and the god marquis ascended the throne (end of this volume)

Facing the Iron Courage Divine Marquis, Cao Zhengchun did not show such domineering as just now, a smirk appeared on his face, and he nodded.

"Lord Shenhou has every opportunity to worry about state affairs, which is naturally beyond our reach, and our family came here today just to read out the holy decree on the order of the emperor."

"Iron Courage Divine Marquis, Zhu ignores the order!"

As soon as the words fell, he shook out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve and immediately read it aloud.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Zhu ignored the order of the emperor, established the Dragon Guardian Villa, guarded my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, ten years of dreaming of sleep, conscientious, I also know the patriotic heart of the god marquis, but the sun and the moon, but last night there were chaotic ministers and thieves, together with the people of the rivers and lakes to assassinate me, it is really bold and reckless, the crime is unforgivable......"

"The rivers and lakes have always been extralegal places, not subject to the constraints of the imperial court, there are often Jianghu rangers relying on martial arts, repeatedly committing misdeeds, assassinating court officials, wantonly abusing force, ordering the Dragon Guardian Villa from now on, the horse steps on the rivers and lakes, so that the rivers and lakes bow down to the court, and admire this ——!"

"Lord Shenhou, will you take the order?"

Looking at the Iron Courage Divine Marquis in front of him with a smile, Cao Zhengchun said with compassion.

"That's right......"

As if thinking of something, Cao Zhengchun also added: "Your Majesty still has orders, ordering Dongchang, as well as Jinyi Guard and Imperial Forest Army to obey the deployment of the Shenhou, but...... His Majesty was assassinated last night, and my Dongchang and Jinyiwei were also ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly, but they were really a little lacking in skills, so they could only do their best slightly...... Therefore, this matter still requires a lot of hard work from Lord Shenhou and Dragon Guardian Villa......

After all, His Majesty's assassination last night was a shame for the imperial court, and as a pillar of the imperial court, His Majesty's own uncle, the iron and gallant divine marquis of the first emperor, will definitely not sit idly by, right? ”

"Father-in-law!"

In the main hall of the Dragon Guardian Villa, in addition to Cao Zhengchun, Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang and others also heard the content of the holy decree, and frantically glanced at the Iron Courage God Marquis.

Horses treading the rivers and lakes?

Sounds like a simple thing to do.

But once the order is received, it is tantamount to starting a war with those martial arts people.

And the prestige that the Iron Courage God Marquis has accumulated in the rivers and lakes for twenty years is also going to be ruined!

Furthermore......

Although this matter is on the surface, the major forces of the Dragon Guardian Villa, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Royal Forest Army have joined forces.

But Dongchang and Jinyiwei naturally don't need to say it, Cao Zhengchun tried every means to shirk it just now.

What about the Guards?

has always been the Son of Heaven's pro-army, how can he obey the orders of outsiders?

And......

Unlike Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which have long been regarded as imperial eagle dogs, the Dragon Guardian Villa still has a high evaluation in the rivers and lakes.

But after the horse steps on the rivers and lakes, the Dragon Guardian Villa will definitely become the target of everyone!

Even the most kind, seemingly indisputable Shaolin and Wudang factions, will not tolerate such behavior of the imperial court!

It's like having two students.

A person with average grades on weekdays, and often mischievous, is a bad boy in the eyes of the teacher.

And the other is excellent in character and learning, law-abiding, and a good child in the eyes of the teacher.

If both of them go to smoke, drink and burn their heads, then the first thing the teacher will care about and teach is naturally this good child.

Why?

Because the impression of a good boy was too good, he suddenly changed his painting style, and others would definitely not be able to accept it.

"Minister, take the order!"

A voice sounded, and everyone present reacted differently.

"Okay, good, Shenhou is worthy of being the pillar of the country!"

Seeing that the Iron Courage Shenhou accepted the order, Cao Zhengchun also looked up to the sky and laughed, glanced at the former a few times with a little deep meaning, and said with pity: "Then our family and Your Majesty are waiting for the good news of Lord Shenhou in the palace!" ”

"Farewell—"

When Cao Zhengchun and the people from Dongchang left, Shangguan Haitang was the first to speak: "Father-in-law, why did you agree to Cao Zhengchun?" This is not clear that he wants to push his father-in-law and Dragon Guardian Villa into the fire pit! ”

"Not bad."

Duan Tianya also spoke: "Stepping on the rivers and lakes is tantamount to declaring war on the martial arts, and this move is tantamount to self-isolation from the martial arts...... It will offend a large number of martial arts people, once these people fall into madness because of this, take risks, and attack my Dragon Guardian Villa, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

"Whoa—"

This voice is a knife to the sea.

The latter, though silent, gave the clearest answer with deeds.

No matter what decision the Iron Courage God Marquis makes, he will use the knife in his hand to advance and retreat with the Dragon Guardian Villa!

It is worth mentioning.

After learning about the murderer of his father, it turned out to be his mother Lu Huanong, and he also gave up revenge with a knife to the sea.

However, his cultivation of the Demon Sword was close to entering the Demon ......

Therefore, he could only ruthlessly cut off his right hand and practice the left-hand sword technique instead!

"Guys, maybe there's some unfounded worry, right?"

At the critical moment, it was Mei Changsu who chuckled lightly, breaking this solemn atmosphere.

"Since Master Hou has agreed to His Majesty's request to step on the rivers and lakes, he must have been sure of it, besides...... This matter seems to be harmful to the Dragon Protector Villa, but in fact it is not that there is no room for operation, if it is operated properly, not only will it not make the Dragon Protector Villa hostile to the rivers and lakes, but it can take the opportunity to unite the major forces of the rivers and lakes, as well as the top ten generals of the border pass...... Be fully prepared for the future Hou Ye's incident! “

"I'm right, Master Hou?"

Iron Courage Shenhou nodded, Mei Changsu's analysis was no different from Su Chen's previous judgment.

"Sir is really my son's room!"

The whole thing is analyzed from the perspective of a bystander......

First of all......

Horses step on the rivers and lakes, and the knife on the martial arts is the first layer.

And the little emperor Zhu Puzhao, as the mastermind of this matter, in addition to wanting to attack the power of the rivers and lakes, also wants to let the Dragon Protector Villa withstand the counterattack from the forces of the rivers and lakes, so as to weaken the power of the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.

This is the second layer!

And Shangguan Haitang, Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao and others saw that this conspiracy was on the third layer!

As for Su Chen and Mei Changsu.

The two of them not only saw through the whole thing, but also from a higher perspective, with the help of the action of attacking the rivers and lakes, the Iron Courage Shenhou could secretly unite the forces of the rivers and lakes, and dispatch the top ten generals of the border pass who had already been secretly contacted.

This is the fourth layer!

Of course.

As a key figure, Su Chen also appeared immediately after Cao Zhengchun left, and spoke.

"The power in the rivers and lakes, among them, is naturally Shaolin, Wudang, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and ...... These forces of the Wuyue Sword Sect are the main ......"

"Among them, although Shaolin is a thousand-year-old temple, it has been a state of semi-closed mountains over the years, and the momentum has not been as good as before, in fact, it is to pursue the way of self-preservation and Taoguang cultivation, and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, the former director of the sect, I practice the Dafa of absorbing stars, and go crazy, and the current leader of the sect is undefeated in the east, and it is not right...... There are already signs of disintegration inside. ”

"If at this time, the original 'disappeared' Ren Xing reappears, and he will naturally be able to easily unite the power of the Sun and Moon God Sect and be loyal to the old sect master......

"What does the pavilion master mean is that you want us to find it and let it go?"

"Yes and no......"

An inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and Su Chen also said meaningfully: "The martial arts that I can do are mainly on the Star Absorbing Dafa, with the means of Hou Ye, with the world's number one disguise master, I believe that it is not difficult to pretend to be the identity of letting me do it...... At that time, you will be able to calmly bring the power of the Sun and Moon God Cult under your command! ”

To know!

What the Iron Courage Divine Marquis cultivates is the Dafa of Absorbing Gong, which is only one word different from the Dafa of Absorbing Stars, and it is even more powerful than the Dafa of Absorbing Stars!

If you appear in the rivers and lakes as a let of me.

It almost didn't take much effort to subdue a dry man.

"As for the Wuyue Sword Sect, among them, Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan faction, is a restless person, and Yue Buqun of the Huashan faction is also an ambitious hypocrite, if these two people are used properly, they may not be used by the Hou Ye......"

"Only the Wudang faction...... It does have some trouble......"

"Wudang ......"

Hearing this name, the Iron Courage Shenhou also frowned.

Today's rivers and lakes have always had the saying of "Shaolin in the north and Wudang in the south".

The Wudang faction has been established for more than 100 years, and its momentum is to catch up with Shaolin, and even has a tendency to overshadow Shaolin, which is the founding ancestor of the Wudang faction......

Zhang Sanfeng!

In the Ming dynasties, many emperors once respected Zhang Sanfeng.

When the Ming Dynasty became an ancestor, Zhang Sanfeng was named "the six ancestors of the dragon hidden immortal dwelling void micro Pudu Tianzun"; Ming Yingzong gave it the name of "through microscopic manifestation of real people"; Ming Xianzong was specially titled "Taoguang Shangzhi True Immortal"; Ming Shizong presented Zhang Sanfeng as "Qingxu Yuan Miao Zhenjun"; Ming Xizong was titled "Flying Dragon Manifestation Hongren Jishi Zhenjun......

And the Wudang faction, also because of this relationship, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the people, has a very high status!

Even some high-ranking officials and nobles sent their children to the Wudang faction......

Visible.

The Wudang Sect is indeed a hard bone to gnaw!

"I don't know Master Hou, have you ever heard the name Ghost Mountain Villa?"

"Ghost Hills?"

"Not bad!"

Su Chen nodded and said quietly: "The so-called ghost is a person who has already died once...... In recent years, some of the most vicious and traitorous people on the rivers and lakes will always disappear when they are hunted down, and they will disappear from the rivers and lakes ever since, many people think they are dead, but in fact, this group of people did not die, but gave up their identities and names, and became a member of the Ghost Villa......"

"Since they choose to live in the world as ghosts, it means that they still have an obsession with revenge in their hearts......"

"What does the Pavilion Master mean?"

An inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and Su Chen was also playful: "The owner of this ghost villa, nicknamed the old knife handle, his real identity is the elder of the Wudang faction...... Wooden road people! ”

"What?"

"It can't be!"

The people, including the Iron Courage Shenhou, all exclaimed.

Wooden road people.

He is the first elder of the Wudang faction, with high morality, extremely respectable seniority, and a wide range of friends.

Claiming to be "the first in Go, the second in poetry and wine, and the third in swordsmanship", he is one of the three most prestigious swordsmen in the martial arts.

And the swordsmanship he cultivates is the "Liangyi Divine Sword", one of the three major swordsmanship of Xuanmen.

There have always been rumors on the rivers and lakes that many years ago, Mudao people could have been the head of Wudang, but he gave up the position of head to his junior brother Mei Zhenren, although the Wudang faction has always claimed to the outside world that it is the Mudao people who travel all the year round, and they are used to being idle and wild, and they can't stand the restraints, so they give up the position of head to their fellow disciples.

But is that really the case?

To know.

The Wudang faction is the same Wulin Taishan Beidou as Shaolin, and he can serve as the head of the Wudang faction, and his status is enough for the emperor to treat him as an equal, and even Corporal Lixian.

Such an honor, unless it is nature, is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no intention of the world.

Otherwise, absolutely no one in the world can refuse.

So.

Is this the kind of person who is the Mudao people?

Naturally not, otherwise there would be no Ghost Villa!

"Back then, as a disciple of the Wudang Sect, Mu Daoren had a high call to become the next head, but he himself made a heinous mistake, that is...... The Mudao people married a wife outside, and they also had children with that person! ”

"Although the Wudang faction is a Huoju Taoist, unlike the Quanzhen lineage, which prohibits marriage, the head of the Wudang faction, and the next head heir, must be a Taoist who has already become a monk to be qualified to serve as a ...... And the Mudao people violated the rules of the door and had no matchmaking with others, so naturally they were not qualified to become the head of the house......"

"So Mu Dao people have painstakingly cultivated a disciple, intending to inherit his mantle!

This disciple is Shi He, the latter does not live up to the hard work of the Mudao people, at a young age, just like the Mudao people back then, the voice in the door is very high, but fate just made a joke with the Mudao people, Shi He actually made the same mistake, is to give up the position of head to the junior brother Shi Yan!

In this way, the master and apprentice suffered the same fate, and they had a great desire for power for the Wudang faction, so they hit it off and established the Ghost Villa......"

The origin of the Ghost Mountain Villa and the affairs of the wooden road people are roughly outlined.

Ignoring the sluggish expressions of everyone present, Su Chen also said quietly: "So, now Shenhou understands what I mean, right?" ”

"Got it!"

…………

Soon......

The news that the Iron Gallant Shenhou led the Dragon Guardian Villa to step on the rivers and lakes is also spreading!

But.

Before the people in the rivers and lakes digested this news, another news came out, that is......

The former sect director of the Demon Sect actually reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and in a very short period of time, he regained control of the Sun and Moon God Sect, while the current sect leader Dongfang was undefeated, but he was nowhere to be found.

It is worth mentioning.

At the same time that Dongfang was undefeated and disappeared, Hengshan sent a little nun named Yilin to recognize her sister Dongfang Bai and leave Hengshan.

Subsequently......

The Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Ghost Mountain Villa attacked the Wudang Sect together, and the head Shi Yan Zhenren died, and his disciple Zhuo and his party were also murdered!

Critical time.

The Mudao people who had been wandering outside suddenly appeared in Wudang Mountain, and with a seven-star sword in one hand, they slashed the Sun Moon Divine Sect's Wind and Thunder Hall master Tong Baixiong and the bright right envoy Xiang Wentian, forcing the Sun Moon Divine Sect to retreat, and joined forces with the Dragon Guardian Villa to exterminate the power of the Ghost Villa, and avenged Shi Yanzhenren, the head of the Wudang Sect!

For three months, the rivers and lakes have been mired in strife.

Immediately afterwards, the 300,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty marched south.

And the Iron Courage Shenhou of Hulong Villa is also the top ten generals of the United Border Pass, personally led the army to resist the Northern Wei army, and after successfully defeating the Northern Wei army, he returned to the dynasty with the pro-army division.

At the unanimous suggestion of nearly half of the courtiers and the ten major generals, Zhu Pu Zhaochan was located in the ...... of the Iron Gall God Marquis

At this point, the Iron Courage God Marquis ascended the throne and became the emperor.
