As mentioned last time: Gui Xuerou was defeated by Liu Gongzi's superb swordsmanship within a few rounds, and this school competition also came to an end. Subsequently, 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 in the future, more heroes and heroes will be able to join the Zhaoxian Pavilion 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 signaled everyone to be even, and said: "Today's competition 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 take the lead in withdrawing from the school, Liu Gongzi signaled his father with his eyes, but Liu Shichen just asked him not to say more, and he would discuss everything when he went back. 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 with a straight face: "The emperor has an order, please go to the west of the city to live in the 'Zhaoxian Pavilion' first, if there is an errand in the future, someone will summon you." Yan Kuo took the lead in leading the order, said goodbye to Lu Jianfei, and then led everyone to ride 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, he even felt a little difficult to breathe, 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 said cautiously: "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 don't mind what happened last time, if you didn't help, I'm afraid that I will be harmed by traitors!" Jiang Feng bowed and said: "That'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 thought for a while and replied: "The grass people don't know. The emperor's face changed slightly, sighed, and said: "There are some officials in the court who have bad intentions! I expect that someone must have done something on purpose last time, and in the past few years, I have also seen some clues." Therefore, I want to recruit heroes and heroes in the world, martial arts heroes, just in case. Although these words, the emperor said euphemistically, it seems that he deliberately avoided some important contradictions. However, 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, do you think you are qualified for the position of the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion?" Jiang Feng quickly knelt down and said excitedly: "I am willing to do my best to serve the imperial court 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 momentum. At that time, I only need to restrain the person in the middle of the court, and the rest of the officials will be easy to deal with. Once this matter is successful, I will definitely reward you for being promoted to a knight!" 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 beg the emperor to forgive Lord Fang Yanfang, the governor of Hangzhou." After hearing this, the emperor asked 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 traitors, but now that someone has a huge influence in the court, even I can't be too disobedient to him, so there is no more way!" After speaking, the emperor slapped the table angrily, Jiang Feng heard these words, and said in his heart: In my opinion, the person who takes power in the court must be Liu Shichen, hateful. He felt a lot of helplessness and indignation for the emperor, which also made him hate Liu Shichen even more. The emperor gradually calmed down and said slowly: "I also know that Fang Yan is a good minister and benevolent, so I have been using various excuses not to kill him and put him in prison, in fact, to protect him from traitors. I can't let him out yet, but I can promise you that as long as the little brother can recruit more martial arts masters as soon as possible, and capable people will come to help. When I can confront the martial arts forces of those who have power in the DPRK, I will definitely let Fang Yan go. Jiang Feng said firmly: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." 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's a tiger father and no dog girl, little brother, now that you are already the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, the responsibility of protecting Fang Yan's daughter will be handed over to you!" Jiang Feng nodded heavily.

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 Chengxi Zhaoxian Pavilion. About half an hour passed, and everyone arrived at the Beijing Recruitment Hall. By noon, the wind was still strong and the sky was still not clear. At first glance, everyone was really surprised by the appearance of the recruitment 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 golden token of the deputy hall master given by the emperor, and the guards respectfully opened the door to 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 walked slowly on the bluestone road. Gui Xuerou seemed a little tired, probably because of the horseback riding, she 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 opened my eyes today." Guo Mofan stood aside alone, twisted his neck, and whispered to himself: "When you come to the Central Plains, can you really hear the news that the sect has lost many years of treasures? Maybe at least you can find out more news in the Zhaoxian Pavilion." ”

Xu Yuan carried the copper hammer and said to Yan Kuo: "Cold face, here, we can often talk to each other, this time you can't run away, 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, we haven't even arrived in the front yard yet, and there is still a sigh in the back!" Xu Yuan "cut" and said, "Aren't you also here for the first time, what are you angry?" Having said that, he still followed, and the three Qincha also followed.

The front yard is several times wider than the place just now, 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 is a large pond with crystal clear water, but there are no fish in it, which confirms the old adage that "when the water is clear, there are no fish". At this moment, another guard stepped out of the corridor, and the leader of the way, Qincha, introduced the people to him. 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 go back immediately to report to the emperor, so we will leave first!" Yan Kuo nodded and stretched out his hand to say goodbye to them, and everyone watched the three of them leave......
