Last time, I said: Gui Xuerou was defeated by Liu Gongzi's superb swordsmanship in five rounds, and this school competition also came to an end. The emperor decreed that the "Zhaoxian Pavilion" in the west of the city was given to Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo, and the two were named the main and deputy hall masters, and the rest of the people were rewarded.

The emperor said: "Today, there are several more martial arts masters in the court, and I am very happy, but I hope that more and more heroes will join the 'Zhaoxian Hall' to serve the court and share my worries." Everyone knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The emperor motioned for everyone to be even, and then said: "Today's martial arts meeting is over here, except for Jiang Feng, everyone has retreated." Liu Shichen and his son took the order and led the ministers who arrived in the court and Zhao Pingtong to withdraw from the school first. Lu Jianfei walked in front of Yan Kuo, he looked at Yan Kuo, and personally handed over the token of the deputy hall master to Yan Kuo. Yan Kuo respectfully took it, and Lu Jianfei said sharply: "The emperor has an order, please go to the west of the city to live in the 'Zhaoxian Pavilion', so that they can be summoned in the future." Yan Kuo took the lead and rode to the west of the city with the three messengers.

At this moment, in the northern suburbs of the school, only many of the Ouchi guards who were responsible for protecting the emperor remained, and Lu Jianfei, Hong Shun (the personal guard during the emperor's private visit, served as the deputy commander of the imperial guard) and Jiang Feng followed the emperor into the camp. Inside, the emperor had already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and he sat on the upper seat, with Lu Jianfei and Hong Shun standing on both sides. Jiang Feng sat at the table on the left hand side of the emperor, at this moment he felt unprecedented tension and pressure, it was a little difficult to breathe, and if he was silent for a while, I was afraid that he would go crazy.

The emperor seemed to see through Jiang Feng's thoughts, and said gently: "Little brother, don't be nervous, I left you alone, I just want to talk to you, and I don't mean to blame, I can be relieved." Jiang Feng bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you to the emperor, but what happened last time?" The emperor raised his wine glass, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Little brother doesn't have to mind what happened last time, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that I will be harmed by traitors!" Jiang Feng bowed and said: "It's what should be done next, I want to be someone else, and it will be the same!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Little brother, do you know why I want to build this 'Zhaoxian Pavilion'?" Jiang Feng pondered for a while and replied, "I don't know." The emperor's face changed slightly, sighed, and said: "There are some officials in the court who have bad intentions! I expected that someone must have done something deliberate last time, and in the past few years, I have also seen some eyebrows. Therefore, I also want to follow their example and recruit heroes and heroes in the world's martial arts in case of emergency. Although these words, the emperor said euphemistically, and it seemed that he deliberately avoided some important contradictions, Jiang Feng could still hear the true meaning. He pretended to be taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, how is this possible?" Aren't all the ministers of the court loyal to the emperor?" The emperor shook his head and said, "Alas, how can these ordinary people resist the temptation of power?" He paused and motioned for Lu Jianfei to continue for him. Lu Jianfei took a step forward and said: "The little brother will know about it in the future, in short, the emperor did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build the 'Recruitment Hall' and convene the World Martial Arts Conference, which is the last bet. He didn't say any more, and Jiang Feng also knew that if he lost, everyone might not end well.

The emperor asked, "Little brother, are you qualified for the position of pavilion master?" Jiang Feng quickly knelt down and said, "I am willing to fight hard for the emperor and defend the emperor's power to the death." When the emperor heard this, he was very satisfied, and personally stepped forward to help Jiang Feng up, and said, "Okay, little brother, I am very pleased that you are so determined." You need to recruit talents as soon as possible to strengthen our strength, and at that time, I only need to restrain the high-ranking and powerful person in the court, and the rest of the officials are very easy to deal with, once this matter is successful, I will definitely add you to the rank and knighthood, and reward you heavily!" Jiang Feng thanked him again: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, you will definitely live up to the emperor's trust! The emperor nodded and motioned for him to continue, and Jiang Feng continued: "I implore the emperor to forgive Lord Fang Yanfang, the governor of Hangzhou." The emperor said in surprise: "Little brother also knows about Fang Yan?" Jiang Feng nodded, the emperor drank another glass of wine, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "I don't know that Fang Yan was framed by Liu Shichen, but now Liu Shichen has a huge influence in the court, even I can't disobey him too much, it's really hateful!" After speaking, the emperor slapped the table angrily, Jiang Feng heard these words, and said in his heart: Sure enough, the person who is in power in the court is really Liu Shichen, a traitor. He felt a lot of helplessness and indignation for the emperor, which also made him hate Liu Shichen even more. The emperor cooled down and said, "I also know that Fang Yan is a good minister, so I have been using various excuses not to kill him and put him in prison, just to protect him from others. I promise you that as long as the little brother can recruit more martial arts masters as soon as possible and can confront Liu Shichen's martial arts forces, I will definitely let him go. Jiang Feng said in a firm tone: "I will definitely be able to do it in the future." The emperor suddenly asked: "Little brother, don't you know Fang Yan?" Jiang Feng smiled bitterly: "Back to the emperor, I am friends with Lord Fang's daughter, this time she worked hard and went to the capital to find the emperor to avenge his father's grievances." The emperor smiled slightly: "Haha, okay! Sure enough, it is a tiger father and no dog girl, little brother, the heavy matter of protecting her will be handed over to you!" Jiang Feng agreed...

The words were divided into two ends, and it was said that Yan Kuo, Xu Yuan, Yue Xingchen, Gui Xuerou, and Guo Mofan followed the three Qincha and went straight to the "Zhaoxian Pavilion" in the west of the city. About half an hour, everyone has arrived at the "Zhaoxian Hall", until noon, the wind is still very strong, and the sky is still not clear. At first glance, everyone was really taken aback by the appearance of the "Zhaoxian Hall". The Zhaoxian Pavilion covers a huge area, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary official mansions. The eaves are bright tiles, carved railings and jade masonry, showing the royal style everywhere. There are sixty-eight golden nails on the gate revealing majesty, and there is a gold-lettered plaque hanging above, and the three golden characters of "Zhaoxianguan" are written from right to left. There were two guards guarding the door, and the three Qincha walked over together and talked to the two for a while, and finally Yan Kuo took out the gold token of the deputy hall master given by the emperor, and the guards respectfully let everyone in.

As soon as the door was opened, a huge courtyard came into view, which was large enough to accommodate more than 100 people, and a few flowers and plants were dotted next to it, filling with a warm atmosphere. Everyone stepped on the bluestone road and walked slowly, Gui Xuerou seemed to be a little tired from riding a horse just now, stretched out her delicate body, and sighed: "Senior brother, this place is really big enough, I just found out now that the place where we practice martial arts on weekdays is so small!" Yue Xingchen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Indeed, the Royal Mansion is really extraordinary, and I really saw my eyes today." Guo Mofan stood aside alone, muttering to himself, twisting his neck, and said softly: "When you come to the Central Plains, can you really recover the treasure that my faction has lost for many years?"

Xu Yuan carried the copper hammer and said to Yan Kuo: "Cold face, here, we can often talk to each other, haha!" Yan Kuo snorted coldly, looked up at the sky, and ignored him. The two guards who led the way opened the door in front of them and said, "Please invite the deputy hall master to enter." Yan Kuo nodded and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go, there is not even the front yard here, and there are still sighs in the back!" Xu Yuan "cut" and followed.

The front yard is much wider than the previous place, and more than a dozen corridors lead to the various wings in the middle courtyard. The front yard is mainly planted with green bamboo, and there are countless rockeries. On the left side was a large pond with crystal clear water, but there were no fish in it (as the saying goes, "when the water is clear, there are no fish") At this time, another guard came out of the corridor, and the Qin sent him to introduce the people. The guard respectfully said to Yan Kuo: "Deputy Pavilion Master, Lord Lu has ordered his subordinates to wait for you for a long time, and a sumptuous banquet has been set up in the main hall of the middle courtyard, please come with me." One of the three envoys spoke: "Deputy Pavilion Master, four, our task has been completed, we must immediately reply to the emperor, and we will leave first!" Yan Kuo nodded, and everyone watched them leave.
