Outside Tianzhou City.

A long convoy slowly approached along the official road.

The convoy marched to the city gate, and the officials on duty at the city gate came forward to search.

"What's in the car?"

The official asked as he opened the sack on the car.

"Well salt!"

A burly man with a scar at the corner of his eye stepped forward and said to the officer.

The official who was searching suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his head, he looked at the face of the man with the scar, his body trembled, and he took two steps back.

"That, that, no problem, let's go in!" The official stammered a little.

The man with the scar bowed slightly, then took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the officer.

"Entrance tax!"

The officials were a little at a loss to take the broken silver, and hurriedly asked the other officials to open the city gate.

The Scar Man had no expression on his face until the convoy had all entered the city gates, and he glanced at his companions before leaving the convoy.

Walking through the alleys, the man with the scar came to a house and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

It was a short and thin man who opened the door, and when he saw the scarred man, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

In the courtyard of the house, there were also four or five men in sackcloth.

"Meet the hall master!"

Scar Man nodded and asked expressionlessly, "What's the situation?" ”

"Back to the hall master, Zhenwu Si has taken Wanfu Temple, and now all the sects in Tianzhou have succumbed." The short, thin man replied.

"In other words, the sect forces of Tianzhou are no longer able to stop the Zhenwu Division?" The scarred man frowned slightly.

"That's right, now the Zhenwu Division is in Tianzhou." The short man said.

The scarred man's eyes suddenly showed a fierce look.

"How to break the game?"

The short and thin man bowed his head and said, "If you want to break the game, the only way is to kill the king of Xin'an County." ”

"However, there are many masters around the King of Xin'an to protect him, and there is even an innate martial artist."

"Before, the Bloody Clothes Building had dispatched ten nine-rank martial artists to assassinate the King of Xin'an County, and the entire army was wiped out."

The man with the scar pondered, "The sect leader has an order, and he must not let the Zhenwu Division enter Shuzhou." ”

"If you want to prevent Zhenwu Si from entering Shuzhou, you can only get rid of the king of Xin'an County. Otherwise, we~~" The short thin man said helplessly.

He didn't explain the latter words, but the meaning was clear.

Shuzhou is located in the west of Tianzhou, and compared to Tianzhou, Shuzhou's martial arts power is much weaker.

There are only more than thirty sects, less than one-third of Tianzhou, and there are only two top sect forces, one is Baiyin Valley and the other is the Holy Sect.

And the man with the scar in front of him was Li Man, one of the four hall masters of the Holy Sect.

While the two were talking, Li Man suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction to the left.

"Those bugs are coming up again!"

"You look for an opportunity first, I'll wait for your news in Kelaixuan."

With that, he left the house and walked down the narrow alley.

As soon as he left, several men in the courtyard immediately hid in the house, and at the same time, a young man in a cloak quickly walked into the alley.

The young man looked in the direction Li Man had left, and his handsome face showed a look of doubt.

He suspiciously inspected the surroundings, and after finding nothing unusual, he could only continue to follow Li Man.

……

Jinlan Academy is a relatively special sect in Tianzhou.

In Jinlan Academy, the disciples are divided into two parts, one is mainly to practice martial arts, and the other is mainly to study Confucian classics.

But no matter what the main thing is, the disciples of Jinlan Academy are all both civil and military dual cultivators, but the focus is different.

In the Book Pavilion.

Dean Mo Tianyu sat in a rocking chair, swaying gently, and the sound of squeaking echoed in the attic.

Kong Jie stood next to him, and after reading the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"Teacher, what do you mean by this?"

The letter was sent by Wen Su to the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the content was the policy issued by the Zhenwu Division to the Tianzhou Sect.

Mo Tianyu's eyes were slightly closed, and there was a faint smile on his childish face.

"What do you think?"

"They want to control us?" Kong Jie said.

"Ah, your eyelids are still too shallow!"

Mo Tianyu got up, the Confucian shirt on his body hung down, and his slender body was full of elegant temperament.

"What the Zhenwu Division wants to control is not us, but the martial arts of the entire Tianzhou."

"As for this!"

He pointed to the letter in Kong Jie's hand and said with a smile: "This is a great gift to us!" ”

Kong Jie wondered, "Is this a gift?" ”

"Of course!" Mo Tianyu said affirmatively.

"Learn from Youdenshi, regent in politics, save Gantang, go and benefit."

"With it, you can govern for the government in the future."

Jinlan Academy is a dual cultivation of civil and military, and many disciples in the academy are Confucian scholars, but whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the eyes of the imperial court, Jinlan Academy belongs to the sect forces.

Disciples of the sect cannot enter the court as officials, this is the unspoken rule of Dali officialdom.

Although there is no explicit provision, in fact, in the past ten years, the court has been weakening the power of the sect in the officialdom.

At the beginning, Mo Tianyu was an official, and he went to a state to participate in politics, but because of the relationship of Jinlan Academy, he was dismissed from his official position because of a trivial matter.

Over the years, although Mo Tianyu has been living a calm and peaceful life in Jinlan Academy, he still can't let go of his heart.

Kong Jie was stunned, looked at the letter in his hand in a daze, and said for a long time: "It's just that the student feels inappropriate in his heart!" ”

In contrast, Kong Jie did not have any expectations of becoming an official, because he had never been an official and had never thought of becoming an official.

"If you are excellent, you will learn, and if you are excellent, you will be excellent."

"If we Confucian students can't take up their posts and engage in politics, we will eventually lack a piece of merit."

"The teacher knows that you have no intention of being an official, but what about the other students?"

"Can they really just be a martial artist?"

Mo Tianyu said in a deep voice.

Kong Jie took a deep breath and said, "It's still the teacher who thinks comprehensively, but the students are too selfish." ”

Mo Tianyu smiled, "Besides, we don't have any other choice now." ”

……

As letters drifted into the hands of many sects, many sect forces began to study the policies formulated by Qin Wei.

At first, they were all very dissatisfied with the requirements of the Zhenwu Division, after all, not all sects were like Jinlan Academy, they wanted to join the Zhenwu Division and wanted to be officials.

They prefer to be free and autonomous, and prefer not to accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court as before, and to be a king of the mountains in the mountains.

However, in the face of the powerful Zhenwu Division, they did not dare to show hostility on the surface.

Therefore, many sects are ready to take a look at the situation first.

However.

With the disciples of the Seven Great Sects such as the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Luoxia Sect, and the Lishan Sword Sect arriving in Tianzhou City.

Some sects began to waver.

The number of places is limited, and if you don't join the Zhenwu Division, the inheritance of the sect will be cut off in the future.

Faced with such a choice, they are very hesitant.

But there are also resolute-minded people, such as Mo Tianyu.

The disciples of Jinlan Academy were the first sects to arrive in Tianzhou City in addition to the seven major sects.

Moreover, Jinlan Academy brought nearly half of the disciples, more than five hundred.

Among them, 400 were scholars of the Academy of Literature, and only 100 were martial artists of the Academy of Martial Arts.

Jinlan Academy was like this, which suddenly made many sects make up their minds.

They all took their disciples to Tianzhou City, and for a while, many sects in Tianzhou City gathered.

And those sects that were still hesitant saw this, and they were anxious.

The number of places is limited, and if you go late, there really won't be any.

As a result, more sects flocked to it.

Inside the Yamen of the Zhenwu Division.

Qin Wei sat on the pavilion, and Wen Su and Mo Tianyu sat next to him.

Xiao Shunzi makes tea.

"These guys are really the ones who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles!" Qin Wei listened to Wen Su's report and said with a smile.

Wen Su smiled: "They probably haven't seen the situation clearly. ”

For example, today's Shifu can be regarded as completely joining the Zhenwu Division, although the Heavenly Master has some complaints about Qin Wei because of the matter of Master Deadwood, he still let Wen Su obey Qin Wei's words.

The corners of Qin Wei's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at Mo Tianyu.

This was the first time he had met Mo Tianyu.

Whether it was Wolongling or the battle of Heiya Mountain before, Jinlan Academy participated, but Mo Tianyu never showed up.

As for Mo Tianyu, Qin Wei also had an understanding.

After all, Jinlan Academy is indeed very special, and Mo Tianyu is the most special existence in Tianzhou Martial Arts.

has been an official, and he is also a state with a high level to participate in politics, and more importantly, Mo Tianyu has done a very good job as an official.

"Senior Mo! Why did you bring 500 disciples? Qin Wei asked with a smile.

Mo Tianyu stroked his beard and said, "The old man knows that His Highness needs a lot of scribes. ”

Qin Wei's eyes flashed.

Although the Zhenwu Division is mainly based on force, it needs a large number of clerical officials.

When he was in Kyoto, he asked for a lot of scholars from the country, and now in Tenshu, he also needs a lot of scholars.

"Senior Mo is willing to be an official?"

Qin Wei asked suddenly.

Mo Tianyu was slightly stunned, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"This king can recommend Senior Mo to enter the court as an official." Qin Wei said.

Mo Tianyu said: "If you enter the town martial arts, the old man is willing." ”

"Where's Takeshi Kyoto?" Qin Wei asked.

"The old man is willing to obey His Highness's arrangement!" Mo Tianyu said very simply.

Entering the town martial arts division is because Qin Wei can call the shots, if it is other yamen, Mo Tianyu really doesn't want to go.

Although he was so active in bringing five hundred disciples this time in order to enter the court as an official again, at present, he only wanted to be the official of the Zhenwu Division.

Because he couldn't be sure if he would be ostracized in other yamen, as he had been more than a decade ago.

Qin Wei nodded.

"Then go to Kyoto, this king will recommend you to be the commander of the Kyoto town Takeshi."

At present, the official position of the martial secretary of Kyoto Town has been filled, but Qin Wei intends to let Li Ru step down.

Li Ru is his military advisor, and he will take Li Ru with him wherever he is.

So there is no need for Li Ru to occupy an official position in the Zhenwu Division.

Mo Tianyu is the most suitable to take over Li Ru's official position.

In addition to these reasons, he has many aspects to consider.

First of all, he needs to cultivate his own team, Mo Tianyu is a more suitable person, and he can be trained to become his cronies in the future.

Secondly, in order to check and balance, most of the officials of the martial arts department in Kyoto Town are from the military or the national eunuch and the martial arts pavilion, and they have a close relationship with their comrades and classmates, so it is inevitable that there will be gangs and factions.

Now Qin Wei asked Mo Tianyu to go to Kyoto, just to balance the influence of Guozijian and Yanwu Pavilion in Zhenwusi.

In the future, when the Zhenwu Division established a yamen in other states, he would also split the Kyoto Zhenwu Division's officials in the name of promotion, so as to avoid the unity party within the Zhenwu Division.

……

With the arrival of many disciples of the sect, the barracks outside Tianzhou City were filled.

However, if you want to turn all these sect disciples into soldiers, it will take a period of training.

Although the cultivation and strength of the disciples of the sect are not weak, the battles faced by the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division are group battles, and they pay attention to cooperation and discipline among themselves.

Especially on the issue of discipline, the disciples of the sect are much worse, so it is still very necessary to conduct military training.

At first, the barracks were chaotic, but as time went on, the training in the barracks began to get back on track.

In addition to the barracks, the Yamen of the Zhenwu Division also recruited a group of scribes.

Some of these scribes came from Jinlan Academy, and some of them came from the government schools of various prefectures in Tianzhou, and the number was as high as 1,000.

Thousands of scribes, Tianzhou Town Martial Arts Division will definitely not be able to use it, even if it is plus eight thousand household divisions, it will not be able to use so many scribes.

The reason why Qin Wei recruited so many scribes was to prepare for the establishment of Zhenwu Divisions in other states.

Seeing the Zhenwu Division Yamen on the right track, Qin Wei still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Wen Su is not familiar with the affairs of Zhenwu Division, you can mention him more in the future!"

In the pavilion, Qin Wei stood in front of the window, overlooking the entire Zhenwu Division's yamen, and said.

"Your Highness wants to hand over the clerical affairs to Lord Wen?" Li Ru asked.

"That's right, although Wen Su is a Taoist, he has been in charge of the Heavenly Master's Mansion for many years, and he has a lot of experience in handling chores." Qin Wei explained.

Li Ru bowed slightly, "Xiaguan understands." ”

"Xiao Shunzi, prepare the carriage early tomorrow morning, and this king is going to Moling Mountain." Qin Wei instructed Xiao Shunzi again.

"Your Highness, do you need to arrange guards?" Xiao Shunzi asked.

Qin Wei shook his head slightly, and said, "No, just let Mo Yan's predecessors and the Huoyun Evil God follow." ”

Going to Moling Mountain is not going to war, so there is no need to bring too many people.

Besides, even if you bring a group of soldiers, it is useless, with the strength of the Seven Yuan Sect, three hundred and five hundred soldiers are simply decorations.

Yuwen Chengdu needs to sit in the Zhenwu Division Yamen for the time being, Shi Luan is cultivating dead soldiers, Tie Shou is responsible for the overall affairs of the Zhenwu Division Yamen, and Qi Lin is in the barracks outside the city.

Even Di Renjie was arranged by Qin Wei to be under the command of Tie Shou and temporarily act as Tie Shou's assistant.

So at present, when Qin Wei goes out, there are not many people who can take him.

There are only two idlers, Mo Yan and Huoyun Evil God.
