"Bentai, I'm really glad you can come back, where have you been all these years?"

A third-grade officer with a peacock on his official robe had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of distress, he opened his arms and hugged a young man, and said softly.

"Uncle Si!"

Tan Bentai's eyes were slightly moist, looking at the old man in front of him who had saved his life, the strength in his heart over the years broke at this moment, and the sadness that had been hidden in his heart for a long time rushed out, but he tried to restrain his emotions, his eyes were slightly red but no tears flowed.

"Good! Good! Good! Grow up, let Uncle Si take a good look at you! Grow tall and strong, are you feeling better, those illnesses when you were a child..."

Tan Bentai smiled and said:

"Over the years, I have been apprenticed to learn art, I have practiced martial arts, and my illness will naturally be cured."

Si Bangshi patted Tan Bentai's shoulder again and again, and kept nodding.

"I received news from my hometown that you are going back, and I have been looking forward to you coming to the imperial capital. Now that Tan Rugan has fallen as an old thief, you are taking advantage of this time to revive the Tan family! ”

Tan Bentai helped Si Bangshi, who was not too old, back to his seat, he took two steps back, then bowed deeply, and said:

"I returned to my hometown in Zhejiang two months ago and gathered the Tan clan people first. Then I came to the imperial capital, I wanted to ask Uncle Si to talk about the clan for me to overturn the case, but I didn't expect Uncle Si to keep thinking about my family.

As soon as I came to the imperial capital, I heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate sued Tan Rugan for bribery, and Tan Rugan, an old thief, was ordered by the emperor to be beheaded for public display, and his henchmen were scattered.

Talking about Bentai is deeply favored by Si Bobo, and I dare not say that I am a cow and a horse in this life, but if I talk about what Bentai can do, I will never give up! ”

Si Bangshi hurriedly got up, helped Tan Bentai, who had been worshipping for several days, and said in a loud voice:

"This matter is not my doing, it is the right deputy capital Yu Shi Ao Changshen on the fold, I... At most, I contributed to the troubles, and I made a small contribution! ”

Tan Bentai straightened up a little puzzled, he always thought that it was his uncle who was the world's friend who did Tan Ru.

Si Bangshi saw the confusion in his eyes, so he explained it to him carefully, but because he himself only knew a little about this matter, he speculated many places by himself.

"Even so, Uncle Si also contributed, although it was Tan Rugan who committed suicide, but I talked about the family's hatred, and finally got the explanation.

Uncle Si, now I also have a little martial arts, but if there is anything, Uncle Si just speak! ”

Si Bangshi thought for a while and said, "Bentai, you say so, I really need your help with something." Maybe with this matter, the talker can recover faster! ”

Tan Bentai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and that day Senior Brother Yan Chun asked him what he wanted to do, and he blurted out that it was to revive the family business.

In the following two months, with the strength of the secret investigation team, he quickly overturned some of the unjust cases of the Tan family, rescued many unjustly imprisoned Tan family members, and reunited the Tan family.

But if you want to really turn over the Tan family, you still have to turn over an old case more than ten years ago.

Tan Bentai's father was originally a prefect in Zhejiang, and the Tan clan was also a big family. But later he was framed, and his father was directly convicted and imprisoned, and it didn't take long for the news to come out that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

The Tan clan declined rapidly in just one year in the following year, and many clansmen with certain abilities were either arrested or exiled, and the entire Tan clan fell apart in an instant.

And the mastermind behind all this is Tan Rugan, who was still his father's deputy and a mere governor.

After that, he rose to prominence and became the right attendant of the household all the way.

Tan Bentai has not forgotten this hatred over the years, but his mother's last instruction before her death was to hope that he could revive the Tan family, so he did not recklessly enter Beijing and assassinate Tan Rugan.

Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, when he was ready to come to the imperial capital, Tan Rigan was convicted and imprisoned, and what was waiting for him would be beheaded, exiled by the three clans, and raided by the nine clans.

The revenge script he originally prepared ended early.

This caused him to not know whether to be happy or worried.

"Uncle Si, if there is anything you say, and it can still help me Tan Jia rise, I will definitely do my best!"

Si Bangshi looked at Tan Bentai with a resolute face, and couldn't help laughing:

"It's not a matter of life or death, have you ever heard of Zhengyang Wubi?"

Yan'an Hou Mansion, Yan'an Hou Lei Datong stood in his backyard, watching Lei Chuanchang and several guards fighting in the martial arts arena, his face was grim, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

Lei Chuanchang did not use internal force, he completely relied on his skills to deal with the enemy, and his opponent was an elite veteran who really came back from a hundred deaths on the battlefield, their skills were not complicated and fancy, but they were the most practical and concise.

Lei Datong wants to let Lei Chuanchang, a person who has never been on the battlefield, feel the atmosphere on the battlefield and learn the real killing technique.

For most of the martial arts on the rivers and lakes, Lei Datong looked down on them, thinking that they were too fancy, what sword flowers, sword lights, and body methods.

It only takes one move to kill someone, and it only takes one knife to slash someone.

Where are there so many twists and turns?

For the Zhengyang martial arts competition two days later, Lei Datong's requirement for his son was to achieve the top three results.

In this martial arts competition, there were many powerhouses of the same level as Lei Chuanchang, including even the disciples of the head of the forbidden army.

The head of the sect was known as an invincible opponent under the grandmaster, and he was really fighting on the battlefield, and his disciple was the one with the highest prestige among all the contestants.

Facing the little guy taught by the head of the forbidden army, Lei Datong himself didn't dare to say that he was sure to be able to deal with it, so at the first moment he learned the news, he relaxed his son's request to win the championship into the top three.

Seeing that Lei Chuanchang was lost by the attack of the two guards, Lei Datong immediately burst into a shout:

"If you're on the battlefield, you're dead by now!"

Lei Chuanchang gritted his teeth and carried two blows from the guards, finally blocked the decline, and began to counterattack.

Even so, Lei Datong's eyes still did not show satisfaction, and he still looked at the competition in the field coldly.

"Lin Xian, did you see my swordsmanship clearly just now?"

In a corner of the forbidden army exercise ground, a middle-aged man in a cyan training uniform, holding a branch picked up from the ground in his hand, was demonstrating sword moves to a young man.

This person is the head of the forbidden army, Zhu Yin.

Known as the number one master under the grandmaster, the junior brother of Qin Guogong and other famous people, I don't know how many noble children want to worship under him.

But Zhu Yin, who had not accepted an apprentice for decades, suddenly announced two years ago that he had accepted a beginner disciple, who was still a humble man, without any background, and was not even a person in the army.

No one knew from which corner he had found this young man, and this young man had never shown his cultivation.

After two years, his disciples signed up to participate in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, and everyone was immediately interested.

The possible existence of a strong person makes the other contestants a little uneasy, but at the same time there is some yearning, once they can fight with this kind of master, they may also be able to benefit a lot, and since this person participates, then it means that the head coach will also participate, at least if the spectators can show their talents, and be accepted by the other party, then the day of learning. There's no limit to what you can achieve.

And Shanxiang, who has some relationship with Liu Xing, is not in the imperial capital at this time.

They all have a training camp somewhere. And the person in charge of training them is the second brother who is good.

Emperor Wu is in the city, because the imperial capital Zhengyang martial arts competition is about to begin.

There were also many people in Emperor Wu City who were ready to go to the imperial capital to participate in the competition.

This privilege was a gift from the emperor personally after Shangguan Ba became a marquis.

Every time Emperor Wu City has 20 places, Shangguan Ba's eldest son, Shangguan Hu, won the top spot in a Zhengyang incomparable competition.

Now he is the commander of Zhongzhou, from the military general of the three products.

Sitting in this position at the age of 28 is also rare in history, and the future achievements are limitless, and there is even hope to succeed Qin Guogong.

Of course, this is all a long time later, including the three disciples of Shangguan Ba, who have all won a certain ranking in Zhengyang.

And every time it is among the top three, and the 20 places in Martial Emperor City have greatly stimulated the rest of the contestants.

The martial arts secrets possessed by Emperor Martial Emperor City are countless, and the disciples in Emperor Martial City are extremely extensive.

Moreover, everyone cultivates according to their own characteristics, and it can be said that Emperor Wu City almost encompasses the entire rivers and lakes.

In other words, Emperor Wu City can be regarded as a microcosm of rivers and lakes.

At this time, there were two people kneeling in Shangguan Dao's room, the acting city lord of Emperor Wu City.

The two men had almost crazy smiles on their faces, as they saw their godlike master.

Shangguan Dao looked at the two people and said coldly:

"I don't need you to get any rankings in this Zhengyang martial arts competition, but the ten people on the list, you must try your best to seriously injure or even kill them."

A piece of paper fluttered into the hands of the two men, and the two looked side by side.

There are several names written on it: Rong Danzi, Sun Yunshi, Xu Cheng, Luo Bei, Shan Si, Wei Zongquan, Hu Gengchen, Lei Chuanchang, Huang Linxian, Liu Xin.

These ten people are the ten people with the strongest chance of winning in this Zhengyang martial arts competition, but nine of them are familiar to them, but this Liu Xin has never heard of it.

The two of them turned their gaze to Shangguan Dao.

Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the two, Shangguan Dao did not explain, he just said lightly:

"There are two of these ten people who need to pay attention to the most, one is Huang Linxian, the disciple of the head of the Forbidden Army, the first person under that sect master is definitely not an ordinary person, you have to be careful.

Of course, if you meet him, I can allow you to use the power I have given you. In the same way, if you meet another person, you can do the same. ”

"Master, who is the other person?"

One of the two spoke cautiously, his tone full of respect and adoration.

Shangguan Dao said lightly:

"Liu Xin."

Liu Xin?

Who the hell is he?

Although the two of them were puzzled, they did not continue to speak, because they knew that their master did not like his subordinates to talk too much, especially after he gave an answer, and if they continued to ask, it would only attract the displeasure of the other party.

"I know you're guessing who this person is. If you know too much, you will only let him know in advance, and it is better for you not to know. In short, as long as you meet these two people, I will allow you to use the power I have given you to kill them at all costs. ”

"Yes! Your men obey! The two replied respectfully, and fell to the ground.

"By the way, this time, there are many people with deep family backgrounds participating in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, and maybe they have some more powerful weapons on their bodies.

I'll open the arsenal later and let you go in and pick it up. Each of you will have access to a choice of Imperial Weapons and Equipment, depending on what you are good at. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were excited at the same time and couldn't help but glance at each other.

Ever since they joined Shangguan Dao's command, what they have been longing for is more powerful secret arts and more powerful weapons.

These two things are the most attractive things for a martial artist.

"Go ahead!"

Soon after these two people left, another person came to the gate of Shangguan Dao and said respectfully:

"City Lord, a letter from Mo Bitumen, the leader of Wuhou!"

Shangguan Dao opened his eyes, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

In the affairs of Emperor Wu City, the general affairs are managed by him, the acting city lord.

When it comes to key matters, such as the Eight Auxiliary Sects, such as Wuhou, they are all in the hands of Cheng Yuyu.

And he only relied on the help of the previous city lord Shangguan.

"Old man, my own son doesn't help, but helps outsiders, it's good, it's good

Hearing the strange laughter coming from the room, the face of the person who came to deliver the message at the door turned pale, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

In a slum in the outer city of the Zhengyang Imperial Capital, Youfeng Daoist He Gan's face turned slightly pale. There was a scar on his right shoulder, which was caused by Liu Licheng that day.

He never thought that Liu Licheng would be able to give him a heavy blow at the last moment, and what made him even more puzzling was that Liu Licheng actually broke through in that situation!

Although Liu Licheng's injuries were enough for him to die two or three times. But You Fang Daoist He Gan still felt a little unable to swallow this breath.

Originally, with his cultivation, even if Liu Licheng was one-on-one, he could win properly. But I didn't expect to end up like this.

This made him angry, but also a little annoyed, and it was likely that his name had been revealed, so he had already ordered a few henchmen, the few in the White Lotus Sect who knew his true name, to keep an eye on the other members.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it now, he should have killed everyone directly!

When he received the news that Liu Licheng had been rescued and was not dead, a member of the sect who delivered the news was directly slapped on the Tianling cover with his palm!

The news was bought at a high price from Jinyiwei.

This Liu Licheng may have practiced the legendary Dafa of Holding Breath, Turtle Shrinkage Gong and the like, who knows if there are any similar exercises in Emperor Martial City's collection of so many exercise cheats that can save his life at the last moment.

There were rumors on the rivers and lakes that there were similar exercises, and even legend had it that even fatal injuries could be repaired. And such a near-death injury is not a problem.

All of this made You Fang Taoist Gan Ning feel that when he came out of this trip, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus seemed to have forgotten to take care of him.

Just as he was secretly annoyed and couldn't get into his groove, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

The aura of the person who came was very strong, and there was no such figure in the White Lotus Sect under his command!

You Fang Daoist He Gan immediately opened his eyes and put the dust whisk in his hand, the wooden sword behind his back pressed against his shoulder.

That day, Liu Licheng finally fought to the death, throwing the dust and the [Peach Wood Sword] in the other direction, and the Taoist priest He Gan didn't want to push him too hard, so he let him go.

I thought he would definitely die, but I didn't expect that he would survive!

Daoist You Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the wooden door tightly.

After a while, the man outside the wooden door stood still, knocked lightly, and said at the same time:

"Hegan, it's me!"

You Fang Daoist He Gan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:

"Why are you here?"

At the next moment when Daoist You Fang responded, the door was pushed open.

A person who was born with evil deeds and evil deeds strode in.

This person's name is Zhang Tu, and like the traveling Taoist priest He Gan, he is one of the four protectors of the White Lotus Sect.

But unlike him, this person was supposed to be in the south, how could he suddenly come here?

"I heard that the rules of this Zhengyang martial arts competition have changed, we have received instructions from the sect leader, in addition to the eighth, Qingchen is also already on the way.

At that time, our three Dharma Protector missionaries will attack at the same time, and we are afraid that we will not be able to complete the task of the sect leader? ”

Daoist You Fang was taken aback when he heard this, and said

"Three Dharma Protector missionaries shot at the same time, just to kill those two people?"

Zhang Tu sneered and said:

"Of course it can't be that simple, when we got the order, you haven't made a move, and the sect leader probably didn't expect you to fail!

Forget it, we're here anyway, and your task will be solved for you.

How could the Sect Master act so simply, according to what we know from insiders in the imperial court.

The Dog Emperor seemed to be about to make a move on Liang Shan, and Liang Shan asked someone to say that he had moved the sect leader.

He ordered us to assist the people of Liangshan to take advantage of the battle between the Holy Sect and Emperor Wu City this time, or at the latest wait for the Zhengyang Wubi to kill the dog officials who wanted to attack Liangshan.

Of course, except that Liangshan's side will send someone to shoot together. It is estimated that the major forces of the Demon Dao will take action except for the evil sect! ”

You Fang Daoist He Gan was taken aback again, so many people in the Demon Dao shot at the same time.

It shouldn't be just for Liang Shan, Liang Shan's gang is poor, hard, and bad-tempered, how could they use so many people in the same way.

"But it's not right, we have more than enough to deal with thousands of households like Liu Licheng, but if we deal with the number one master of Zhengyang like Tuoba Yunhan, even if all of our four Dharma protector missionaries are on it, we can't help him, at most it can only be regarded as food delivery!"

Zhang Tu nodded and sneered:

"You're not stupid enough to be thorough, the Sect Master said, this time we just need to complete our own tasks.

As for the true purpose of the sect leader's action this time, it will be carried out by the Venerable Guardian himself. ”

"He wants to do it himself, is the person he wants to kill is the emperor?" You Fang Taoist priest He Gan guessed.

"I don't know about this, the sect leader didn't say it, and we don't want to ask." Zhang Tu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
