Chapter 1 Chapter 1
Foreword: I would like to inform readers: This article is mostly fictional and different from real history, please do not regard all the contents of this book as historical facts. It is a coincidence that the fictional parts of the book are similar to history.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a powerful force in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Some of them formed an alliance called the "Ten Directions of the World".
The association is divided into two factions: the east and the west.
Many officials and dignitaries of the Eastern faction advocated harmony and gentleness.
The Western faction is mostly a common man, a prodigal son at the end of the world, often radical and advocating force.
But this "Ten Parties of the World" is always in charge of one person, and everyone calls this person the "alliance leader", to be precise, the "Mobei alliance leader".
This is a mythical legend that has spread since the early days of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Legend has it that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Ten Directions Association began to take shape, and everyone discussed the selection of a leader, and this person appeared.
Mysterious man, unidentified and of unknown origin. But it made everyone talk about it.
Because of this person's reputation and prestige, not only the people of the Ten Directions Society are afraid of him, but he is always unpredictable and mysterious.
Even everyone didn't know whether he was a man or a woman, old or young, or what he looked like.
But on the rivers and lakes in Mobei, his rumors are terrifying.
Legend has it that this man is a man of martial arts and strategy, and he knows everything, such as the writing implemented after the establishment of the Great Xia State, which was learned by Li Yuanhao from this person, such as the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and the Battle of Dingchuan Village when Li Yuanhao attacked the Song Dynasty, and the tactics used in the art of war were all pointed out by this person; In addition to the big war between these countries, there are also rumors that this person fought in the Mobei Alliance for three days and three nights, and only used a long whip, which injured all the challengers and couldn't get up, but this person was unscathed, and overwhelmingly won the position of the leader of the Mobei factions, and no one was dissatisfied.
It's just that this person is a complete weirdo, when he used to show his body in Mobei, he always wore a cyan wide coat, covered his face with a mask, and covered himself tightly and impermeable, and everyone had never seen this person's true face.
And this person sometimes speaks in a male voice, sometimes a female voice, which makes everyone not even know the gender of this person.
And since this person took the position of the leader of the various factions in Mobei, he has often played missing, he told his subordinates that he doesn't like to deal with those trivial things, if it is not a big thing like the collapse of Mount Tai, don't always think about looking for him, so, the two faction leaders of the East and West factions of the Ten Parties are often busy with themselves, no way, the boss doesn't care, he can't win, he can't fight, but you have to listen to what people say, otherwise this boss will destroy the entire Mobei rivers and lakes.
Even Li Yuanhao has to respect the people of three points, who dares to provoke.
However, he doesn't love political affairs, and he doesn't want to be an official in the court of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, Li Yuanhao just let him go, anyway, he didn't threaten the royal power of the Great Xia Kingdom, so he acquiesced to him playing around the rivers and lakes, and gave him some rewards.
It's as if he treats the entire Mobei rivers and lakes as his own toy, and he doesn't know what he's going to do, so he jumps out and plays casually when it's okay, and runs away by himself when it's not fun.
When asked, the members of the Ten Directions would always reply, "Our boss is out playing again, and we can't find him." ”
Someone asked, boss, you are always like this, you come and go without a trace, no one knows your true face, if you have any orders from the alliance leader, or if someone wants to pretend to be your identity to cause trouble, how can we recognize your orders?
The alliance leader broke a piece of the Kodama pendant he was carrying with him into two pieces.
He threw half of the jade pendant to one of the Eastern and Western sect leaders of the Ten Directions, saying, the shape of the line pattern in this jade pendant is born yin and yang, not symmetrical pendant, but the natural combination of the pendant, the jade pendant on both sides must be yin and yang, and this is the only piece of the Central Plains and the jade carved from the family, the only one in the world, this jade pendant no one can forge another piece, your half of your own keep, if I really have something to find you, I will take my half of the jade pendant to unity.
Then he ran away again.
Everyone stared at the other half of Kodama Pei and looked at each other.
The other half of the jade pendant's fragrant dumplings, so who will be in charge?
It can only be controlled by the most powerful Ten Party Societies on the Mobei River and Lakes, and among the Ten Parties, the East and West factions have sent their masters to discuss who this jade pendant belongs to.
There are two sect masters, this half of the jade pendant, but there is only one.
What to do?
The Mobei Alliance is held every ten years, and all sects and factions compete in martial arts, discuss important matters in the rivers and lakes, and share peace. But this alliance is the main dojo of the Ten Directions Society after all, and everything ends with the competition of the Ten Directions Society, which of the two factions of the East and West of the Ten Directions Society wins an overwhelming victory, and which faction will be in charge of this half of the jade pendant for the next ten years.
However, because the eastern faction is always a high-ranking official and dignitary, except for the convenience of the court and political power, there are no people with much ability, while the western faction has many people in the rivers and lakes, some are strong in martial arts, some are proficient in mechanical work, some know yin and yang evil arts, and some are scholars who are brilliant...... In short, basically every session of the alliance competition, it is always the people of the Western faction who win the half of the jade pendant.
Therefore, the Western faction of the Ten Directions Association is always arrogant in the Mobei rivers and lakes.
However, both the eastern and western factions uphold one purpose of the Ten Parties: to belong to the same society and support Daxia together.
The Eastern faction reasoned with the government of the Great Xia Kingdom, and helped the royal family to stabilize the country on the temple; The Western faction pacified the trivial affairs of the rivers and lakes and maintained the unity of the Great Xia State outside the temple.
However, the western faction is poorer, and they have to receive supplies from the eastern faction on a regular basis.
But fortunately, everyone gets along peacefully, especially for many peaceful days, and no one cares about life.
Therefore, this alliance leader jade pendant has not been used for many years.
The days passed day by day, and everyone also speculated whether the peerless master, the leader of the Mobei Alliance, had returned to the west.
Maybe this half of the jade pendant is useless, but the Mobei rivers and lakes are still secretly afraid and fighting, after all, this jade pendant also has the symbolic meaning of standardizing the rivers and lakes to dominate the various factions, and the people who hold it can always have a little say in the rivers and lakes, after all, it was once given by the godlike alliance master, so it has always been kept, regarded as a treasure, in the rivers and lakes, this half jade pendant is almost equivalent to the emperor's golden seal in the court, and the world seems to be somewhat funny.
But in recent years, there have been some small fights on the rivers and lakes of Mobei, Li Yuanhao is a wise monarch, although the Great Xia Kingdom has more or less some wars with foreign countries, but it is still peaceful and rich, there is no major event, the peaceful days have been long, the turmoil at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom has gradually been forgotten by the world, everyone is safe, and the rivers and lakes are temporarily peaceful coexistence, and everyone has almost forgotten the myth of the Mobei rivers and lakes and the mythical characters in it.
Until......
