"Nonsense!"

King Kaiping has a very high status among the nobles, and Zhang Jinliang, as a marquis, naturally wants to maintain the face of the nobles, and reprimands: "King Kaiping is strong in martial arts, commanding thousands of troops and horses like an arm, and has outstanding meritorious deeds, which can also be slandered by these crooked ways?"

Sun Decheng smiled and said softly: "Prince Chang is said to have the courage of ten thousand people, and it is needless to say that he has the ability to command in battles, but to say that his martial arts are strong, it is really not worth mentioning for these Jianghu sects. Hehe, these are also rumors in the rivers and lakes, and Hou Ye is just interesting to listen to. ”

Brother Zhang Jinliang felt that something was not quite right, so he didn't speak again, and motioned for Sun Decheng to continue.

"What about this Sun and Moon God Sect, it used to be called Mingjiao, it is said that Taizu contributed a lot when he conquered the world, and then for some reason, he hated Taizu, so Taizu signaled the Wudang faction and Shaolin faction at that time to contact many sects and exterminate this Ming Sect, and the people of Ming Sect scattered and fled, and then formed the current Sun Moon God Sect. ”

Since then, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect has been specifically opposed to Wudang Shaolin and other sects, and the Huashan faction was also one of the major sects that participated in the extermination of the Ming Sect at that time, so now, these gangs have become decent in the rivers and lakes. ”

"And the people who got out of the Ming Sect, the Sun and Moon God Sect formed is the underworld, which envelops the underworld forces all over the country, and often fights with the decency, for a hundred years, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, but they have survived strongly, each controlling a piece of territory. ”

Sun Decheng stopped to take a sip of tea, and seeing that the two of them were attentive, he continued: "This Wudang Shaolin faction, after exterminating the Ming Sect at that time, withdrew from it. ”

"Somehow, the Huashan faction rushed to the front, formed a Wuyue Sword Sect alliance with the other Siyue sects, appointed himself as the leader of the alliance, and fought with the Demon Sect for a hundred years, well, the Demon Sect is the Sun and Moon God Sect, and these decent Jianghu people call it that. ”

"This Huashan, but also because of this, the strength of the Ming provinces, at that time the majesty, there is a fist out of Shaolin, the sword back to Huashan reputation, the Wudang faction also suppressed, become one of the most powerful three factions in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Then why is the power of the Huashan Sect now cowering in Shaanxi and being defeated by the Demon Sect?" Zhang Jinxing said curiously.

This kind of affairs in the rivers and lakes is just an interesting thing for them, the nobles who live with the country, and they don't take it to heart.

"Ten years ago, the power and strength of the Huashan faction reached a peak, and all factions in the world avoided its edge, but for some reason, there was a sudden civil strife within the faction, killing each other, and almost destroying the faction. ”

"Now the head of Huashan is not a group, and he survived by luck, but it took ten years of hard work to develop the Huashan faction, although it is far less than ten years ago, but it is not to be underestimated, and he has regained control of the forces in the rivers and lakes of Shaanxi. ”

"Just last month, the head of this Yue gave an order, thousands of masters of the rivers and lakes gathered in Xianyang, exterminated the rudder of the Demon Sect in Xianyang, I heard that at that time, the arrow rain covered the sky, the sword light was horizontal, the two sides killed in the dark, the Demon Sect killed and injured hundreds of people, and the remaining more than 100 people fled from Shaanxi in embarrassment. This kind of war situation is not a matter of the two armies fighting. ”

Zhang Jinliang was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "These Jianghu people use bows and arrows on a large scale, and that's okay." ”

Although the imperial court did not prohibit the use of bows and arrows among the people, if there were thousands of archers, any court official would not be able to sit still.

Sun Decheng smiled bitterly: "For these people in the rivers and lakes, bows and arrows are just the least powerful weapons, and they are not used much, because ordinary bows and arrows can only kill some people with poor martial arts." ”

"Those people who are strong in martial arts are not afraid of bows and arrows at all, a sharp sword in hand, gods and demons are easy to destroy, killing people is like slaughtering chickens and dogs, ordinary government personnel, where do they dare to provoke them, accidentally get involved, one night, the whole family was cut off. ”

"So powerful!" Zhang Jinxing frowned and asked, "How does it compare to the sharp soldiers in the army?"

Sun Decheng felt that he had used up all the bitter smiles of this year today, and explained: "Those sharp soldiers in the army, or elite people who don't collect at night, can barely compare with the third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, and when they encounter those second-rate masters, they have almost no power to fight back." ”

"What's more, there are first-class masters and super-first-class masters above, and they are even higher and higher, the city wall is almost like flat ground for them, and entering and exiting the high-level households is like entering a no-man's land, so the local government has turned a blind eye. ”

"As long as these people in the rivers and lakes clean up the beginning and the end, they will treat it as if they have not seen it, and there were major battles in Shaanxi, Hunan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Nanzhili last month, with thousands of dead and wounded, and there is no news in the officialdom?"

"There is also a big battle in Nanzhili?" Zhang Jinliang said in surprise.

"Yes, in the past, the Huashan faction led the fight against the Demon Sect, and it seems that there is a tacit understanding with the palace that the decent forces do not enter the north and south Zhili, so the north and south have always been peaceful. ”

"Ten years ago, due to the great loss of Huashan's strength, the position of the leader of the alliance was given to the Songshan faction, the original Songshan has been shrinking to the south of Henan, after becoming the leader of the alliance, it seems that I don't know these tacit understandings, or it doesn't matter, the expansion of power is unscrupulous, and the south is directly under the west of Hongze Lake, and the north of the Yangtze River are included in the Songshan faction's sphere of influence. ”

"Last month, the Songshan faction, together with the other four factions, launched an attack on the five provinces of the Demon Sect, and the Songshan faction expelled the Demon Sect forces in Nanzhili and dominated Nanzhili. ”

Subsequently, the eighteen masters of the Wuyue Sword Sect killed the Black Wood Cliff of the Demon Sect Headquarters together, killing two first-class masters of the Demon Sect, seriously injuring two and lightly injuring two, killing eight second-rate masters and seriously injuring four, and winning a complete victory. ”

Sun Decheng omitted to mention the loss of the Wuyue Sword Sect to show the strength of the righteous forces in the rivers and lakes.

"There are only about a dozen dead and wounded, even if it is a big victory?" Zhang Jinxing said disdainfully.

Sun Decheng said: "Cousin, you don't know the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, you don't know their horrors, any gang, as long as there is a first-class master, can dominate a mansion, if there are three or four people in a faction, no one dares to provoke a province." ”

"Even the second-rate masters are also extremely clever, more than enough to run rampant in a county, you look at those dart games, go south and north, as if the martial arts are strong, in fact, the well-known dart game, are only one or two second-rate masters to support, the vast majority of dart masters, not as good as the third-rate players in the rivers and lakes. ”

Sun Decheng saw that the Zhang brothers still did not attach much importance to the Huashan faction, and continued to give an example: "If the second-rate masters are in the army, they are all first-class generals, and it is no longer a problem to kill generals and capture the flag. ”

After a pause, he added another fire, and said in a low voice: "If a first-class master has the intention to assassinate, the one in the palace will not be able to sleep well at night." ”

"Shhh

The brothers of the Zhang family glanced at each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes, and they were also a little puzzled, such a terrifying force existed around them, why no one ever said it, and they didn't see the court to deal with it, could it be that the court was also afraid of them?

This is a little unlikely, or, in fact, the imperial court also has corresponding masters, and they are not too afraid of these masters of the rivers and lakes, but ordinary people don't know it.

Sun Decheng looked at the expressions of his two cousins, and remembered that he had faintly heard that after Taizu destroyed the Ming Sect, he deliberately covered up the news of the rivers and lakes in the imperial court, and it seemed that the effect was obvious!
