It turned out that nearly a hundred years ago, when Liu Tianba, the founding emperor of the Xinghan Empire, shattered the void and ascended, in order to ensure the royal family's right to rule the empire, he also took away the four great masters in the Xinghan Empire's court.

After all, there were only three grandmaster masters in the royal family at that time, and if those four grandmaster masters were allowed to stay, once he left, the rule of the empire would likely be subverted by this grandmaster-level master.

And in this way, there were only some grandmaster masters left in the Xinghan Empire, and then after more than ten years, those martial arts sects of the people were almost struck, and all the grandmaster-level masters were killed, and even innate martial artists were rare.

At this time, the royal family was jealous of the more than a dozen grandmaster-level generals in the military who held military power.

It's also sad to say, obviously Liu Tianba, the founding emperor, paved the way for those descendants before his ascension, and prepared many heavenly and earthly treasures that can assist in cultivation, but unfortunately his descendants are very unlucky, more than ten years have passed, and no one has broken through to the realm of the great grandmaster.

On the contrary, among those generals who hold military power, a few of them are already not far from the realm of the Great Grandmaster.

Therefore, in order to prevent it from happening, the royal family of the Xinghan Empire is ready to take back the military power in the hands of these generals, and at the same time secretly get rid of these generals, so that these guys will never have a chance to break through to the realm of the great grandmaster, and they will no longer pose any threat to the empire.

However, those founding generals of the Xinghan Empire were not fools, and they quickly saw the royal family's intentions, and when the empire was about to take back their military power, they collectively spoke out against it.

However, the imperial family had made up its mind, completely ignoring the opposition of those generals, and directly sent the most powerful Praetorian Guard to attack the opposing generals.

At that time, the scientific and technological level of the Xinghan Empire had made great progress, and all kinds of heavy artillery missiles and other things were already available, once these high-powered weapons were successfully hit, even grandmaster-level masters would be hit hard, and it happened that the weapons used by the Praetorian Guards of the Xinghan Empire's royal family were the most advanced.

So as soon as the battle between the two sides began, those generals suffered great losses and were wiped out a lot of troops, and in the end they could only join forces and rely on the advantage of troops to start a more and more fierce battle with the royal family.

Although this battle did not last long, it almost wiped out the remaining grandmaster-level masters of the Xinghan Empire, leaving only the royal family and a half-disabled grandmaster-level master who was seriously injured and needed to retreat and heal all year round.

It was also because this battle was a very disgraceful civil war, so the officials of the Xinghan Empire deliberately blocked and erased the information about this war, so that Ye Tianlong and the young people of later generations had never heard of this at all.

However, those families in the Xinghan Empire also remember this matter clearly, because the royal family's behavior of unloading and killing donkeys has caused a huge gap between these families and the royal family.

Therefore, even if the royal family collects all kinds of exercise cheats from the people, they will not share them with those families, and even the various rare medicinal materials and various exotic beasts cultivated in their royal medicine garden will all enjoy them alone and will not be shared.

And those big families naturally began to disobey the orders of the royal family, one by one, they only thought about digging the corners of the empire, and in recent years, they have completely ignored the decree of the ban on martial arts, as long as those warriors hidden in the people do not run to the yamen to shout and proclaim their identities, the government is too lazy to arrest them.

It is also because of the practice of the royal family and the family to guard against each other, not only the folk martial arts inheritance began to weaken rapidly, but even the official martial arts power began to be inferior from generation to generation due to lack of communication, and occasionally it was good to be able to produce a congenital master. As for the grandmaster-level master, he has not appeared again in all these years.

Ye Tianlong listened to the county commander Kong Xianfu's narration, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking that the decline of this martial arts seemed to be really providential, otherwise it would be impossible to explain this series of coincidences, which led to various problems in the folk and official martial arts inheritance almost at the same time!

And just as the two of them were talking, Zhou Jiale, Luo Chenguang and the three of them fought more and more fiercely, especially that Kong Erhu, as a family guard trained by the Confucian family since childhood, he thought very highly of himself, but now he has been fighting for a long time but has not been able to defeat the two folk warriors in front of him, which makes him more and more angry, and gradually began to use some ruthless killing moves, Zhou Jiale was accidentally cut off by the other party A shoulder armor on his left shoulder.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong and Kong Xianfu immediately frowned, and Kong Xianfu even opened his mouth to stop this battle.

However, Kong Erhu didn't know whether he was too engrossed in the fight and didn't hear Kong Xianfu's words, or if he deliberately pretended not to hear it when he heard it, anyway, after Kong Xianfu shouted a few times, he still didn't mean to stop, but the speed of the weapon in his hand became faster and faster.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong hurriedly grabbed a spear from the weapon rack on the side, and then rode an old horse and rushed into the battle circle. It's just a competition, there's no need to fight to the death! ”

Faced with Ye Tianlong's persuasion, Zhou Jiale and Luo Chenguang immediately stopped and did not continue to shoot at that Kong Erhu.

However, that Kong Erhu didn't seem to have enjoyed it yet, and he actually waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand again and slashed at Ye Tianlong.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong hurriedly raised the spear in his hand to block, and after a loud bang, Ye Tianlong steadily caught the other party's blow, after all, Ye Tianlong's martial arts qualifications belong to the top category, and he has a strong foundation, so even if his cultivation is not as deep as Kong Erhu, his strength value is even better than that of the other party.

After catching the opponent's move, Ye Tianlong pushed it hard, and after pushing away the opponent's Fang Tian painting halberd, he withdrew and retreated, wanting to end this meaningless battle.

However, the Kong Erhu was a little endless, and another halberd swept towards Ye Tianlong's war horse's head.

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart when he saw the other party's rogue approach, after all, he couldn't beat the other party, but for the sake of the county commander Kong Xianfu's face, he didn't want to meet the other party in general.

But since this guy is shameless, then he doesn't need to keep his hand, I saw that the spear in Ye Tianlong's hand pushed to the right side, and blocked Kong Erhu's sweep, and then the spear strangled the opponent's halberd, and the spear body always stuck to the halberd when the other party collected it, not giving the other party the opportunity to re-distance the weapon and exert force.

Kong Erhu was extremely depressed by Ye Tianlong's move, and stirred the weapon in his hand vigorously, wanting to throw Ye Tianlong's weapon aside.

Because Kong Erhu had already fought with Zhou Jiale and Luo Chenguang before, consuming a lot of strength, and his own strength was not as good as Ye Tianlong, so after the two were in such a stalemate for a while, Kong Erhu quickly fell behind, revealing a flaw, and was violently shocked by Ye Tianlong's force, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in Kong Erhu's hand involuntarily swung backwards, and finally plunged into the ground. Even Kong Erhu himself leaned back violently because he wanted to dissolve this huge force, and almost fell off the horse.

And in the end, although he tried his best to clamp the waist of the war horse with his legs and did not fall off the horse, he also drove the sitting war horse to retreat several steps, and completely distanced himself from Ye Tianlong.

"Admit it, Brother Erhu!" Ye Tianlong didn't have the idea of continuing to chase and fight, and after teaching the other party a lesson, he hugged his fists and saluted, which was the end of the battle.

Kong Erhu felt his hands that were still numb and trembling, and suddenly he had no confidence to continue fighting, after all, although the two had not fought for a long time, he had already seen that he was indeed not the mediocre-looking young opponent in front of him.

"Lao Luo, Lao Zhou, you should also have a good time! Come with me and see the prefectural lord! ”

Under the leadership of Ye Tianlong, the group of four people quickly handed over their weapons to the staff on the side, and then dismounted and came to Kong Xianfu, and bent down with their fists in unison and saluted: "See Lord County!" ”

"Excuse me! All free of charge! ”

"Today's young people are really amazing! I have such great skills at a young age, and now I am even more optimistic about this club! With your strength, when the time comes, show a few hands to the guests who come here, and then you won't immediately stop people! In addition, I think those fast catchers and archers in our county can come here to practice, and feel the atmosphere of the ancient battlefield, lest those guys have nothing to do all day long, and the last one can't even lift a knife and gun! ”

Kong Xianfu's eyesight is very good, and he can naturally see that Ye Tianlong's strength is stronger than his famous Ding Kong Erhu, but the other party did not chase Kong Erhu hard, but stopped immediately after letting the other party suffer a small loss and divide the winner, which made him feel better about Ye Tianlong, so he rarely opened his mouth to praise Ye Tianlong and the others a few words.

In the end, in order to support local young people like Ye Tianlong to start a business, Kong Xianfu even proposed to leave a Mobao as the signboard of the club, so as to add some popularity to Ye Tianlong's club.

Although Ye Tianlong didn't open this club to make money, seeing that the county magistrate was so interested, he naturally couldn't sweep away the other party's interest, and immediately asked the staff to bring the four treasures of the study, so that the county magistrate could splash ink to his heart's content.

Not to mention, although the ability of this county magistrate to govern the place is not very good, but this handwriting is very beautiful, I saw that he grabbed the brush and waved it lightly on the paper after a few strokes, and soon wrote down the four big characters of "full of martial virtues", looking at the majestic atmosphere, if it wasn't for Ye Tianlong to see it with his own eyes, it was really hard to believe that this was actually written by a powerless civil official.

So Ye Tianlong hurriedly praised quite sincerely on the side: "Good words! The word "county magistrate" looks majestic, it can be seen that adults must also have great ambitions in their chests, but it is a pity that they are trapped in this small county, just like a dragon trapped in the shallows, and there is no opportunity to display their talents! ”
