Chapter 766: Connecting Bonds

Fu Dong sat quietly in the room, looking at the bright candle flame, thinking about the collusion between Fu Yin and Haishamen that Gu Qianshan had said.

The more he thought about it, the more Fu Dong felt that there were a lot of ways to do it.

He was originally a simple martial artist, he was forced to get an official position helplessly, he was involved in right and wrong, and he was not good at scheming.

But it is not difficult to calculate people's hearts, fighting and competing, as long as you want to learn, you must be able to learn, and how to play is two words.

Fu Dong couldn't sit still.

He drew a pen and paper, listed all the people he could think of and related to this matter, and connected the relationship between everyone little by little, and in the middle of the night, he came to a conclusion that made him frightened: The biggest opponent is the emperor, Fang Qi.

Fu Dong gasped, looked left and right worriedly, rolled up the paper, put it on the candle flame, and watched the paper ignite and turn into black ash.

Closing the door, closing the window, and turning off the lights, Fu Dong lay on the bed, looked at the top of the bed, and decided to bury this conclusion deep in his heart and not reveal it to anyone.

The next day, after thinking about it again, Fu Dong told Shi Long about the collusion between Fu Yin and Haishamen, and did not mention his speculation.

In Shi Long's eyes, Fu Dong is an honest, relatively dull, wooden, heartless apprentice, and a very controllable one. Sloane never expected him to have any profound insights, so he didn't ask for his opinion, and praised him for his improvement in his ability to do things.

Fu Dong asked Shi Long how to deal with Wu Gu and the others.

Shi Long groaned: "We belong to the same way, we have to spare people and spare people." ”

Fu Dong said secretly: "Hypocrisy! Tentatively, "Master, what do you mean... ”

Sloane was silent, not nodding, not shaking his head.

Fu Dong couldn't know what Shi Long meant, and after being instructed to do something, he left Shi Fu.

Two days later, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that the two heads of the Wugu faction, Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan, teamed up to snatch the token representing the first place in martial arts from Shi Long. Shi Long was seriously injured, and Wu Gu and the others were defeated and fled the capital.

The token is still in Sloan's hands.

The rumor was like the wind, and it soon spread throughout the rivers and lakes.

The rumors came into his ears, and Sloane only felt a buzzing in his head, and his eyes were pitch black.

He enjoys the reputation of being the first in the world, holding the token that shows the number one in the world, and the most worrying thing is that people in the martial arts will challenge him and snatch the token.

He had been on guard against this terrible thing that was bound to happen.

Moving the Dragon Slaying Gang to the capital, accepting the recruitment of the imperial court, marrying his daughter into the palace, accepting the emperor's order to marry Zhao Ziyi, and letting the apprentice Fu Dong serve in the courtβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ are all delaying tactics by Shi Long in order to enhance the power behind him, make the people in the martial arts jealous of him, and make the people in the martial arts not rush to snatch the token.

The people in the martial arts are lurking, ready to move, and they are not in a hurry to do anything because they are waiting for "the first person to eat crabs"

Shi Long knew that Wu Yun Zhao and Gu Qianshan were not "the first people to eat crabs", but how could other martial arts people know, did they want Shi Long to confess the truth about his injury?

No way.

In this way, this rumor, which is uncertain whether it is true or false, has become a bait to arouse the crowd in the martial arts, stirring their hearts and urging them to put what they want into action.

Sloane became the target of public criticism.

The token in his hand, which represents the first in the world, has become a hot coal.

Shifu became lively.

Whether it was day or night, masked martial arts people from all walks of life poured over like locusts, challenging Shi Long one by one.

Through the fight, Sloane knew that there were both white and underworld among the people who came, both strangers and familiar people.

He deeply understood what it means to push down the wall.

After resisting for three days in a row, Sloane was almost unable to hold on.

Fu Dong was afraid that his master would have an accident, so he led the guards to surround the Shi Mansion for protection.

But how can ordinary guards compare with martial arts masters.

Defense is just a drop in the bucket.

Shi Long repelled another person, which consumed a lot of energy, and sat cross-legged in the courtyard to relieve it.

Fu Dong was beside him, and when he saw that Master's face was gradually turning pale, he had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Master, it's better to hide in the palace." They can't chase them to the palace. ”

Shi Long frowned and said: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes, I hid in the palace as a shrinking turtle in order to avoid them, what is my face?" ”

Sloan's brain moved faster than Fu Dong's.

On the first day the rumors spread, he deduced that most of the people who released the rumors were people in the imperial court, and further speculated that it was self-evident who instructed them if the people in the court dared to target the emperor's relatives and relatives.

If he hides in the palace, he will not be in the right place.

Fu Dong hurriedly said: "But, Master, grab the tokens one after another, they are wheel battles, you will not be able to hold it sooner or later, rather than the tokens being robbed, it is better to hand over the tokens and let them grab them themselves." ”

Shi Long was poked in the foot by Fu Dong, and said angrily: "What kind of bastard words." ”

Fu Dong begged: "Master, a hero doesn't suffer a loss in front of him!" ”

At this time, Zhao Ziyi also stepped forward and asked Fu Dongmo to be anxious, thought about it, had an idea, and persuaded softly: "Alliance leader, the enemy is current, in order to make your daughter feel at ease, you will personally go to the palace to report safety." You often miss your daughter, take this opportunity to catch up with her more, isn't it? Why bother with the mess out there. You are an imperial prince, how about staying in the palace for a few days? My mother's family can't go to relatives yet. ”

After a cup of tea, Shi Long entered the palace to face the saint and stayed in the palace. The affairs of the Dragon Slaying Gang were temporarily handed over to Zhao Ziyi to deal with.

After entering the palace, Shi Long really escaped from danger temporarily and gained temporary peace, and there was no need to worry about people coming to challenge and snatch tokens every day.

But under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and he had to look at the face of the emperor's "son-in-law" all the time.

Affected by this, the Wulin League became more and more loose. The evaluation of Shi Long by the people in the rivers and lakes is getting lower and lower.

A few days after the turmoil subsided a little, Shi Long thought about leaving the palace.

Shi Hongyu tried her best to dissuade her.

Shi Long frowned, anxious in his heart, and said, "Yu'er, the Dragon Slaying Gang can't do without a father." ”

Shi Hongyu persuaded: "Dad, as the master of the Zhao Sect, his means and abilities are not bad, he will definitely be able to handle the affairs of the gang, if there is something, she will definitely come to inform you, what are you worried about." ”

Shi Long said: "That father can't live in the palace for a lifetime, it's spread out, what kind of system." ”

Shi Hongyu knew that her father was a good face, and she was embarrassed to stay in the palace for a long time, but she thought that if her father left the palace, he would be attacked by waves of Jianghu people, so she couldn't bear it, and said: "Dad, you don't care about yourself, you don't care about your daughter, don't you care about your future grandson?" ”

Shi Long said "ah", surprised and hurried: "Yu'er, what did you say?" Grandson? ”

Shi Hongyu smiled and said, "Dad, my daughter is already two months pregnant." Immediately persuaded: "Dad, you should spend more time with your daughter, the palace is full of dangers, you at least protect your daughter to give birth to the child smoothly, how about it?" ”

Sloane hesitated, his mind wavering.

Shi Hongyu said: "Dad, if you are bored, I will beg Your Majesty to arrange some affairs for you, the second senior brother is alone in the court, Dad, you just take this opportunity to win over some people to add help to the second senior brother, and it will be more convenient to act in the future." ”

Shi Long said: "But what can my father do if he stays?" Dad is not from the DPRK. ”

When Shi Hongyu heard the tone, she knew that her father was willing to stay, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry about this, your daughter will give you ideas to ensure that you don't lose your heart and face." ”

Half a day later, the emperor issued an order to hire Shi Long, the leader of the martial arts alliance, to become the head of the Imperial City Army and guide the martial arts of the Imperial City Army.

Two days later, the emperor issued another decree, and also used the means of courtesy, regardless of good and evil, black and white, to recruit people from the rivers and lakes to enter the palace on duty.

Shi Long almost completely became a member of the imperial court and was "driven" by the royal family.

As a man of the year in the martial arts, Shi Long's movements have attracted much attention.

Other people in the rivers and lakes saw that the alliance leader could bow down in the court for the sake of glory and wealth, why did they have to guard the pride of the rivers and lakes?

All of a sudden, the people of the rivers and lakes took refuge in the imperial court.

Those with high martial arts go to high places, and those with low martial arts go to low places.

After the refuge boom gradually stabilized, the emperor issued another decree that all the people in the rivers and lakes who took refuge were managed by Shi Long.

Sloan's status has risen.

Due to Sloan's authority, after comparing the glory and wealth with the world's No. 1 title, many people gave up the idea of competing with Sloan, climbed with peace of mind, and became Sloan's help.

Sloane has once again reduced his threat by a lot, and he doesn't need to continue to live in the palace.

After leaving the palace, Shi Long's mood was very delicate, and his situation was also delicate.

He has become a real link between the rivers and lakes and the temples, in the rivers and lakes, he is the representative of the temples, in the temples, he is the representative of the rivers and lakes, and there is no chance to withdraw from it.

There is no other way for Sloan than to accept the status quo.

After resting for a few days and sorting out the current situation and ideas, Shi Long convened the heads of more than 20 sects in the Wulin League to discuss major matters.

Shi Long looked at everyone's faces and said with a smile: "Everyone, I asked you to come here today to tell you about the future of our Martial Arts Alliance. ”

After a pause, Shi Long looked at everyone's faces again, knew it in his heart, and continued: "It's not the first day that you have broken into the rivers and lakes, just the things of the past few days, you should be able to see what the emperor means." I won't say much about that. ”

The principals present looked at each other, exchanged heads, and after a while, looked at Sloan and nodded.

Shi Long could see that there were some people who couldn't understand the situation, but he didn't want to explain it in detail, so as not to have a loophole in his words, make trouble for himself, take a sip of tea, and then said: "I have thought about it carefully, as a person in the martial arts, I will act chivalrous and defend my family and the country." Although we have formed a martial arts alliance, each faction acts independently, and when it comes to major events, we can work together, but in normal times, it will inevitably seem loose and have no rules. Hey, it's not where to contribute, and what identity does it matter. The emperor intends to recruit talents and take out the money from the treasury to solve our worries. ”

Waving his hand, he smiled and said, "Of course." The emperor knows that our Jianghu people are arrogant, free and easy, and don't force it, if anyone wants to, he will take this errand, if he doesn't want to, it's okay. Guys, how's it going? ”

The crowd exchanged words again.

Yu Jianglong, the head of the Qingcheng faction, had always been dissatisfied with Shi Long, and then asked: "Alliance leader, I don't know where your Dragon Slaying Gang is going?" ”

When the rest of the people heard him speak, they all thought: "Yes, where is the Dragon Slaying Gang going?" They all looked at Sloan, waiting for his answer.

Shi Long laughed again and said, "Then you don't need to say." I have to inherit the emperor's love from all over the Dragon Slaying Gang. "It means that after the Dragon Slaying Gang, they will follow the gang leader into the court and serve the court.

The Dragon Slaying Gang is a big gang that can compete with the beggar gang in the martial arts of the world.

Even if the sects in the other martial arts alliances have a richer background than the Dragon Slaying Gang, their power cannot be the same as that of the Dragon Slaying Gang.

As soon as the principals heard that the Dragon Slaying Gang was all driven by the imperial court, most of them were moved and were willing to follow in the footsteps of Shi Long and accept the official recruitment of the imperial court.

For example, the Qingfeng Temple where the head of Mucha Dao is located, and the Ziyi Gate where Zhao Ziyi is locatedβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’

However, there are still some sects that do not want to be subject to too much control, or have a disagreement with Shi Long, and choose to "go their own way", such as Yu Jianglong of the Qingcheng faction and Xiao Yisheng of the Qinghai factionβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’

Wudang, Shaolin, Emei and other big factions received Shi Long's invitation, but no one came. These veteran sects ignore the disputes, and it doesn't matter if they participate in this incident or not.

In the end, eighty percent of the sects that follow Shi Long, and two percent of the sects that do not follow Shi Long.

Eighty percent of the sects followed Shi Long to eat Yulu, and the remaining twenty percent of the living environment can be imagined.
