This Ling Xiao is the leader of the martial arts alliance, but he can also serve the public. If you talk about mountain gates and disciples, the Heavenly and Human Sect can be said to be the first school in martial arts, and if you talk about martial arts and prestige, he Ling Xiao can also be regarded as the first person in martial arts. Only the Maoshan faction was very dissatisfied, especially its head Hu Jiuyi, who was unwilling and unwilling to break people's heads.

The first thing after the establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance was to expose a series of scandals and scandals about the Salt Gang, especially the assassination of disciples of various martial arts factions by killers. So, the martial arts alliance spread the word about the rivers and lakes:

"The Suzhou Taihu Salt Gang was originally a shoulder dealer and a pawn of exile. There are no strong roots, and there is little accumulation. He is also ruthless and combative, and his nature is also obedient and stingy. However, the flies gathered in the crowd and did not disperse, and the dogs formed gangs, and they were quiet and shameless. Once the weather becomes against the weather, and the disaster is caused by the favorable location, it will provoke everywhere and harass the people. Known as the leader of the green forest, he is actually a thief in Kyushu, and he is known as a reckless hero, and he is honest and the gangster of the rivers and lakes. Its sins are too numerous to mention, and its evil currents are endless. Today, I am in the same vein of martial arts, and I am not angry with his rebellious deeds, so why should I be afraid of the power of cholera? I am a thousand chivalrous warriors, weaving swords, cloth and swords into a net, and hundreds of thousands of livers and gallbladders, shining into light and darkness at night. We are willing to make an alliance with blood and punish on behalf of heaven: even if we go through mountains and mountains, and the extreme seas are poor, we will also eliminate evil and help the danger, and do not lose what our teachers have learned; punish the evil and promote the good, and live a chivalrous life. This heart is dedicated to heaven and earth, sacrificed to ancestors, and shined on the sun and the moon, and never die!"

A piece of paper, the wind and birds, all over the world, the martial arts alliance officially declared war on the Salt Gang! And declaring war on the Salt Gang means declaring war on the entire green forest. Although the gangs in the Green Forest often fight with each other, after all, they are farther away from the martial arts. They all know how to lose their lips and teeth.

Ling Xiao is in the position of the leader of the alliance and has already begun to deploy the tasks of each faction. Although Hu Jiuyi was unwilling and unconvinced, he had to obey the order on his face. Ling Xiao also understood that he couldn't really order Hu Jiuyi to do anything, so he discussed everything with him and Su and the abbot. Originally, Ling Xiao also wanted to give Hu Jiuyi a position such as deputy alliance leader or special envoy, but Hu Jiuyi's bull's nose and temper pouted, and he didn't match this stubble. In the end, Xiao Xia became the envoy of the alliance, responsible for the orders of the front line and the dispatch of various factions.

Hundreds of disciples from dozens of large and small sects, such as Dumen, Kongmen, Emei and Kongtong, will advance to Caozhou first as the leading team of the alliance. These people are all coordinated by Xiao Yi, who is responsible for collecting information and testing the truth. Ling Xiao, Su and the abbot responded in the middle, and Hu Jiuyi rushed to the rescue. At the same time, the Martial Arts Alliance began to kill the Green Forest Gang in Juancheng. They don't care about the lives and deaths of these minions, so they don't plan a sneak attack. The Martial Arts Alliance also claimed to be a righteous army, so it only took action after officially declaring war with the green forest.

Kong Zhi was the most bored, he didn't want to come to Juancheng, let alone Caozhou, but he joined the Martial Arts Alliance and became a pioneer. These dozen disciples are the foundation of his Confucian sect, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake. Completely different from Kong Zhi's thoughts, Luo Shen, he was very sorry that he did not participate in the martial arts competition, and now he can take this opportunity to take the lead to show his skills, so that others can look down on him. Of course, the others in his eyes were only limited to Kongmen, especially his senior sister Zhuo Tao.

And Zhao Wuji and Ling Shuang are also vying to join this pioneer group. They had already fallen into prestige in the ring, but the first person the two had been fighting for for many years was taken away by the flowers and tears, how could they be willing to wait and see from behind? Not to mention that Zhao Wuji was still thinking about Yue Xuanqiu.

As for Ling Shuang, it's even more strange. Since he lost to Hua Splash Tears, it was as if he had fallen into a demon, which made him so difficult to help himself that he often remembered that face.

Also hit by the demons in the heart is the Hui Xin Shitai of the Emei School of Buddhism. Master Huixin has been a nun since he was a child, and has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, learning Buddhism and practicing martial arts for more than 30 years. She was ten years older than Hua Splash Tears, but the battle between her and Hua Splash Tears made her heart fluctuate for decades, like a flying stone, swinging away boundless ripples. In her eyes, the fight turned into a dance, although the pair was indeed beautiful. Master Hui Xin was so immersed in the dance that he had long forgotten about winning or losing. So, the flowers splashed tears to win the fluke. Although the swordsmanship of the tears is too much, after all, the skill is still a step behind.

Despite this, Master Huixin could only try her best to cover it up, restrain her emotions, and did not dare to divulge half a point, let alone take a step beyond Lei Chi. But now that she was among the pioneers, she could often encounter tears from time to time, which made her very painful.

There are also tears in the pain, of course he is not trapped by love. Hua Splash Tears is naturally handsome, and even a woman, and is often mistaken for a woman dressed as a man, or deliberately teased as a woman. Therefore, he rarely went out and walked around for several years, and only practiced martial arts in the door. The senior brothers in the door knew how powerful he was, and they didn't dare to make a mistake. But since Hua Splash Tears appeared at the martial arts conference, his appearance and martial arts have won the favor of both men and women, and many rude people have laughed at him behind his back, and his words are extremely inferior, but he can't hear it, how can he not be painful?

......

The helm of the salt gang is far away in Suzhou Taihu Lake and Dongting Mountain. Since Wang Xianzhi captured Caozhou, the helmsmen of the Salt Gang and the rudders of various places have sent a large number of people to Caozhou. The Wulin League is in Juancheng, Puzhou, very close to Caozhou. The place where these two forces are located will become the frontline battlefield.

At this point, the gangs in the green forest knew that the establishment of the martial arts alliance was aimed at them. However, they did not take any precautions in advance, and the forces of the various gangs in the green forest were still scattered all over the world. Caozhou bore the brunt of the attack, but the green forest power it possessed was far from enough to fight against the entire martial arts alliance.

The green forest forces in Juancheng and even the entire Puzhou withdrew one after another the moment they learned that the Martial Arts Alliance had declared war on the green forest. Most of them withdrew to Caozhou, and the martial arts forces in Juancheng were too strong for them to dare to take them lightly! Some of them had already been slaughtered by the martial arts factions before they could withdraw.

The green forest was in turmoil for a while, like a bird throwing into the forest.

After Chu Jiangkai discussed with Shang Junchang, he believed that the spearhead of the Juancheng Martial Arts Alliance must be the first to point at the green forest forces in the Caozhou area. And they didn't dare to blatantly attack the idea of the grass army, and Juancheng should be fine. Therefore, Chu Jiangkai and the four brothers of the single family rushed back to Caozhou in the starry night. Yue Xuanqiu is in a dilemma, although she is a martial artist, she does not want to stay in Juancheng. And Ling Xiao didn't embarrass her, so she agreed that she followed Chu Jiangkai to Caozhou.

Wen Junping also left Juancheng, because two people from Linjia Villa also arrived here. Most of the people who came out to track down Linjia Villa searched according to the news and bypassed Puzhou. However, Lin Shumeng and Lin Shuran were very playful, and they were attracted to Juancheng by the martial arts competition. Wen Junping didn't want to make more trouble in vain, so he simply went to Caozhou, after all, he was the master of the thief.

Wei Qimu was worried about meeting Yuan Zifeng and Yun Hail and going to Caozhou. So Miss Qin followed and asked Junping, Planting Lin, Lin Chong followed Miss Qin, Zhang Fengchen and Sun Peilan followed Wei Qimu, and the group had to go to Caozhou. Although Zhang Fengchen was a little reluctant to be Shang Junchang, she didn't want to miss this major event in Caozhou.

As for Huang Zhen, she originally went to Xiangzhou to find Wang Jing and then return to Caozhou, but she was delayed for a while because she met Wei Qimu, and naturally chose to go back this time, but Huang Zhen did not choose to be with Wen Junping and Wei Qimu. Wei Qimu didn't know why, and Huang Zhen didn't explain, but Wang Jing gave Wei Qimu a "reassured" look. Even so, Wei Qimu was still unhappy in his heart, and he refused to ask more, so he had to think about it in his heart.

......

The establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance surprised not only Lulin, but also Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi just wanted Ling Xiao to get rid of Chu Jiangkai, but instead of dealing with Chu Jiangkai, Ling Xiao invited him as a guest, and he himself became the leader of the martial arts alliance. This made Tian Lingzi grit his teeth in anger and wanted to eat his flesh raw.

Since ancient times, the imperial court's attitude towards martial arts has always been divide and rule. Because all dynasties and dynasties know that this group of so-called chivalrous warriors, heroes and heroes like to "violate the ban with force", and these are precisely the taboos of the imperial court. For the green forest, it is suppressed all year round. Not to mention anything else, the illicit salt sold by the Salt Gang every year seriously affected the income of the imperial court.

Tian Lingzi sent people to question Ling Xiao several times, but he was pushed back neither softly nor hard, and his words also revealed that this was also the meaning of the imperial court.

Tian Lingzi thought to himself that he would not do such a stupid thing, but he was not the only one who could represent the imperial court, and there was also Cui Yanzhao, the prime minister of the dynasty.

On the Jinluan Palace, Tian Lingzi asked in a cold voice: "Cui Xiang, do you know about the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"Yes. Cui Yanzhao knew that Ling Xiao couldn't withstand Tian Lingzi's pressure, so he simply stopped hiding it.

"Since ancient times, 'chivalry violates the ban with martial arts', far from the Qin Dynasty, it has been restricting people who practice martial arts for generations. Now that the martial arts are united, this momentum is even worse than that of the hundred schools of the late Qin Dynasty, and they are only afraid that it will be unfavorable to the country. The more Tian Lingzi spoke, the more angry he became, as if he was the only loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Yanzhao became the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people.

"If there is a change today, it is a stopgap measure. Wang Xianzhi was born in the Salt Gang, but he was afraid that there would be more funding from the Salt Gang behind him. Martial arts and green forests have been incompatible since ancient times, and the imperial court is tired of the grass army. If the martial arts can get rid of the harm of the green forest, how can it be useless for the country?" Cui Yanzhao sneered.

"Based on Cui Xiang's guess alone, let these eight hundred years of martial arts and thousands of families be one? Although the green forest has a gap with the imperial court, it has not openly rebelled against the imperial court, if the martial arts dominate the rivers and lakes, it will eventually be a big deal!"

Cui Yanzhao laughed angrily: "One Wang Xianzhi has already made the court suffer, and now Huang Chao has also rebelled." The Yellow Nest is also deeply related to the Salt Gang, do you have to wait for the second and third Yellow Nest to rebel?"

Tian Lingzi was speechless for a while, the rebellion of Huangchao was just the news brought back by Caozhou's secret agents, and he had not yet told the emperor.

But Li Yi, the Son of Heaven, heard the key to the problem in the words of the two Aiqing - whether it is the martial arts alliance or the green forest, it is not the root point. And another person taking the lead in rebellion is a big deal!

"Who is Huang Chao?" Li Yi looked at Tian Lingzi.

Tian Lingzi was thinking about how to reply, but Cui Yanzhao preemptively said: "Back to Your Majesty, Huang Chao is the person who wrote poems outside Chang'an City after failing the imperial examination more than ten years ago. If it weren't for the stupidity of the science field back then, which caused talented people to have no way to serve the country, there would be no chaos today!"

Tian Lingzi snorted coldly: "Huang Chao is a puppet, when he wrote anti-poems outside Chang'an City, he should be arrested and beheaded, but you are not known, so there is a disaster for raising tigers today!"

Li Yi became interested when he heard the anti-poem, so he asked how the anti-poem was written.

Cui Yanzhao said bluntly: "This poem: 'When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after they bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ’”

After hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but say angrily: "What a saying, 'The city is full of golden armor', what a yellow nest! More than ten years ago, he dared to covet me Li Tang Jiangshan, even if he is talented, how can he use it?"

Tian Lingzi hurriedly said yes. Cui Yanzhao said: "Your Majesty, now that Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao are united, and their momentum is even better than before, the imperial court still needs to make plans early, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future." ”

Cui Yanzhao still wanted Pinglu Jiedu to put down Song Wei's rebellion, and Tian Lingzi naturally got in the way. Under the mutual constraints of the "Southern and Northern Divisions", the DPRK and China are still inconclusive. This gave the grass army a great opportunity.
