Chapter 426: Convergence

The Imperial Capital of the Imperial City, there have been people going here for the past two days, and the number of people has increased several times compared to the past!

What is different from the past is that the guards of the city gates that were unobstructed in the past are much stricter than before, and a large number of elite warriors have replaced the general guards, strictly guarding the four city gates in the southeast, north, south, and north!

In the past two days, merchants and civilians who were previously allowed to enter and leave the imperial capital at will were not allowed to enter! And the merchants and civilians who used to work and live in the imperial capital must also temporarily move out of the imperial capital in these days!

All the high-level members of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' who came to the imperial capital could only bring a maximum of two retinues of their cronies into the imperial capital, and the rest of the subordinates could only stay in the designated locations outside the imperial capital!

Not only that, almost all the original warriors who guarded the imperial capital were transferred out, and the new guards were all confirmed by Zhao Min to be absolutely loyal to their subordinates!

In the two valleys in the east and west twenty miles outside the imperial capital, two elite teams of Ao Chunyi and Zhang Wuji were stationed, strictly vigilant against the development of things!

'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan personally sat in the imperial capital, in case Xiaoxiao had any bad intentions!

All this tells everyone how much attention is paid to convening the high-level assembly of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

In addition, the entire territory under the control of the Zhao Clan's 'Hidden Dragon Society' has entered a state of absolute emergency! Zhang Wuji has sent people to all the territories and all departments to station, and no department or individual can raise objections! Otherwise, he will be arrested immediately and unconditionally!

Those who thought they were resisting as before were actually killed on the spot!

For this reason, many people have reported their grievances to the authorities, but what they have waited for is the order of detention and investigation directly ordered by Zhao Min! And the 'Heavenly General' actually directly expressed his support!

So, everyone knows that Zhao Min is serious this time!

Under the absolute power and deterrence, those who were still a little cautious were confused!

In the more than 3,000-year history of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', there has never been such a big battle! In the face of Zhao Min and Zhang Zhuofan's strength, everyone seemed to have no way but to compromise!

A group of men wearing blue robes came to the east gate of the imperial capital, led by none other than the man with a heroic appearance and gray beard who had gathered secretly from the ground with pride. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His name is Liao Zhenbang, and he is the current patriarch of the Liao family with the longest history in the 'Hidden Dragon Society'.

The ancestor of the Liao clan is named Liao Qingyi, and he is one of the five elders who originally founded the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

In the following 3,000 years, except for the Liao family, the bloodlines of the five elders dissipated into history!

By now, the Liao family has become the only family of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' that has existed since its inception!

In the past 3,000 years, the Liao family has gradually grown, and now, it has almost become the most authoritative family under the Zhao family!

Because of this, when the Zhao family gradually did not want to make progress and began to be content with the status quo, the people of the Liao family began to have their own thoughts. Especially before Zhao Min took power, he had the idea of replacing him!

When Zhao Min took power in the 'Hidden Dragon Society', Liao Zhenbang felt that it was impossible to replace him! Not to mention that Zhao Min's outstanding human abilities and means could not give the Liao clan a chance to take advantage of it, and the attitude of the 'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan was also there, and it was impossible to let someone who was not from the Zhao clan take charge of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'.

As a result, a new plan was born in Liao Zhenbang's heart: independence from the 'Hidden Dragon Club'!

In order to avoid the suppression of the 'heavenly general' Zhang Zhuofan, Liao Zhenbang secretly contacted Zhao Hao, which led to many later things.

Of course, like Zhao Min, Liao Zhenbang doesn't need a Zhao Hao who is wise and has extraordinary martial abilities! Therefore, when Zhao Min educated Zhao Hao before, he didn't have any extra actions except to add fuel and vinegar to it to make him hate Zhao Min even more.

Therefore, the current state of Zhao Hao's empty eyes and low eyes can be said to be caused by Zhao Min and Liao Zhenbang together!

It's just that what Liao Zhenbang didn't expect was that before he was completely ready, Zhao Min actually discovered their actions, and he was really a little caught off guard!

You must know that before, Liao Zhenbang relied on Liao's deep-rooted heritage in the 'Hidden Dragon Club', not only attracted a lot of people, but also avoided the eyes and ears of Zhao Min and Zhang Zhuofan, and was completely in a state of concealment!

If everything goes well, once something happens, Liao Zhenbang believes that even if Zhao Min and Zhang Zhuofan are capable, they can only watch them separate!

Can ....... now Liao Zhenbang knows that he is afraid that his plan will encounter huge resistance in the future! However, Liao Zhenbang is still confident that with his earlier arrangement, he can still achieve his goal!

"The head of the house, the notice on the city gate says that all the high-ranking people who enter the imperial capital can only follow with two cronies. The rest of the people can only stay outside the city!" a martial artist from the Liao clan came to Liao Zhenbang and said respectfully.

"Oh?!" Liao Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, looked up and down the east gate, and his heart tightened slightly.

Liao Zhenbang is a true grandmaster-level master, and he can see at a glance the strength of the martial artists guarding the east gate.

In the past, the guards who were in charge of miscellaneous soldiers were actually innate high-level martial artists, and there were even grandmaster-level commanders as guard captains!

Not only that, but directly above the east gate, Lin Yue, who had a gloomy face, was standing there, looking coldly at everything below!

As the head of a scheming family, Liao Zhenbang naturally knew Lin Yue's true strength! He also knew that if he did it one-on-one, he would definitely not be Lin Yue's opponent!

And that's just the guards at the East Gate! There are four gates in the Imperial Capital!

From this, it can be inferred that at this moment, the entire imperial capital is strictly guarded!

In fact, as Liao Zhenbang thought, in addition to the innate high-level guards and grandmaster-level guard captains of the four gates of the imperial capital, there are also Zhang Wuji, Ao Chunyi, Zhang Ling and Lin Yue as the supreme commanders!

Of course, Ao Chunyi's personal strength was much worse than that of the two and three others, so Zhao Min sent several more grandmaster-level masters to sit with him!

"Liao Qing, Liao Xu, you two will go into the city with me!" Liao Zhenbang pondered for a while, and then said to the people around him, "The rest of the people will stay in the arranged camp!"

"Patriarch ......." The martial artist who spoke before suddenly showed an anxious look, "In case ......."

"Liao Qing, this is the imperial capital!And the old man is the only patriarch of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' with five old descendants!" Liao Zhenbang looked at him and chuckled lightly and said, "There is not enough reason, even Her Majesty the Empress can't do anything to me!"

“...... Yes!" Liao Qing hesitated, but still followed Liao Zhenbang's side silently.

So, after registering at the gate, the three of them stepped into the city.

"......." above the city gate, Lin Yue witnessed the whole process, but there was no movement.

As Zhao Min's cronies and one of the high-level leaders of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', Lin Yue is actually very clear about the identity and status of the Liao family and Liao Zhenbang!

It can be said that when Zhao Hao and that mysterious force were exposed, Zhao Min and her closest confidant Lin Yue immediately suspected this Liao family, which had existed for a long time!

It's just that there is no evidence, and the Liao family is too entrenched in the 'Hidden Dragon Society', so Zhao Min can't take any action against it!

Lin Yue also couldn't show any hostility towards the Liao family and Liao Zhenbang. Of course, there was no need for her to show kindness!

Therefore, from the time Liao Zhenbang came to the east gate of the imperial capital until he led his two cronies into the imperial capital, Lin Yuedu just watched silently and did not come forward to say hello.

At the same time, something similar happened at the South Gate, West Gate, and North Gate.

The south gate was guarded by Zhang Wuji, and the man who was slightly bloated, with a pair of slender eyebrows and eyebrows hanging down to both sides of his face. His name is Guan Haishan, and he is also a pivotal figure in the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

Guan Haishan is a second-generation disciple of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', but he is the leader of the 'Brotherhood', a cohesive group of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'.

The so-called 'Brotherhood' is actually similar to the existence of the 'New Enter' in the 'Shanchuan Hall'!

It is a loose alliance of people who have little foundation in the Hidden Dragon Society. Compared with the 'new faction' of the 'Shanchuan Hall', the purpose of the establishment of the 'Brotherhood Alliance' is mainly to support each other, and there is no intention of-for-tat against the original forces in the 'Hidden Dragon Society'.

After all, the 'Hidden Dragon Society' itself is a fusion organization, and naturally there is not much xenophobia! Of course, there is still a certain range of xenophobia, and the establishment of the 'Brotherhood' is also natural!

Although the 'Brotherhood League' under the leadership of Guan Haishan was loosely organized, he still had great authority personally. Guan Haishan is confident that if he starts an incident one day, at least one-third of the members of the 'Brotherhood Alliance' will follow him!

Of course, Guan Haishan himself does not have much ambition, and the reason why he participated in the incident of splitting the 'Hidden Dragon Society' is completely out of his belief and worship of Liao Zhenbang!

The keeper of the West Gate was Zhang Ling, the man who wore a long crown and a rich robe in a secret assembly before entering through this gate.

His name is He Yuesheng, and he is also a pivotal figure in the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

Although the He family is not one of the five founding families of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', it has been more than 2,000 years since they entered the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

As a family based on the 'Hidden Dragon Society' with business talents rather than martial arts, the He family has always been the money bag of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'. Almost all the business affairs of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' are in the hands of the He family, and they also provide a lot of funds for the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

He Yuesheng has always been very dissatisfied with the situation that the He family earns money for the 'Hidden Dragon Society', but it is other people who enjoy these wealth! For this reason, He Yuesheng has always been very dissatisfied, especially with the extravagance of the Zhao family in the past!

After He Yuesheng, who had long been disgruntled, contacted Liao Zhenbang, the two sides hit it off and formed an alliance to seek the purpose of separating from the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

Finally, there is the north gate, the gate guarded by Ao Chunyi.

There were two people who entered from here, one was a short but very strong man from the previous secret meeting, and the other was an old man with a sales figure and an extremely capable appearance.

The former's name is Wu Wuji, the head of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' external martial arts, and the only one in the Purple Gold Continent who has become a great grandmaster-level master from the outside in!

Like all external martial artists, Wu Wuji has always wanted to change the inferior status of external martial artists and change the role of 'cannon fodder' now!

Under Wu Wuji, there are twelve disciples, with grandmaster-level masters, who are in charge of nearly half of the external martial arts team of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!

Liao Zhenbang promised that once they successfully separated from the 'Hidden Dragon Society'. The newly established organization will definitely give the same status to the external martial artists, and let the external martial artists and the internal martial artists have the same status!

It is true that a promise is a promise, and it is another story whether it will be successful or not!

Wu Wuji's brain was not particularly good, so he believed Liao Zhenbang's words. Of course, the most important reason why Wu Wuji is willing to believe Liao Zhenbang is ....... Liao Zhenbang is a man!

That's right! Wu Wuji is an absolute machismo, and he is very dissatisfied with Zhao Min, a woman, becoming the leader of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'! Because of this, he believes in Liao Zhenbang's words very much.

As for the capable old man, he is called Yin San.

It can be said that he was the weakest person among the people who plotted in the first place!

As Zhao Min's father's staff, Yin San had no power to speak of from the beginning! Although he was conceited and self-conceited, he was always just a staff member! And because of the Zhao family's overall contentment with the status quo, this staff member did not have a satisfactory life!

Zhao Min staged a coup d'état and became the leader of the Zhao clan and the 'Hidden Dragon Society' in one fell swoop! Yin San thought that he would have a place to use from now on.

But he didn't want to, Zhao Min didn't trust Yin San at all, so he was sent to the idle department early, and he waited for death!

Yin San, who felt that he had been insulted, was naturally extremely resentful of Zhao Min, and he was also full of resentment towards the Zhao family!

This is also why when Liao Zhenbang came to look for him, he didn't say much to win him over!

It can be said that Yin San is the think tank of the separatist forces under the leadership of Liao Zhenbang, and he gives advice for their purposes!

The plan to contact Zhao Hao and make him his puppet was from Yin San's plan!

"Hmph!" When he saw Ao Chunyi standing above the city gate, Wu Wuji, who was already in a bad temper, suddenly snorted coldly, and the momentum on his body surged out, rushing straight in front of Ao Chunyi.

Wu Wuji, who was dissatisfied with Zhao Min, naturally didn't have a good face for Ao Chunyi!

Seeing that he and the others entered the city, Ao Chunyi, as a junior, actually dared to stand on the city gate without moving, and he was even more annoyed.

In order to teach Ao Chunyi a lesson of 'disrespecting his predecessors', Wu Wuji naturally wants to give the other party a 'lesson'!

"Hmph!" When Wu Wuji's true qi had not yet rushed in front of Ao Chunyi, a cold snort came, and the entire north gate trembled!

A familiar figure appeared beside Ao Chunyi, and the true qi that surged towards Ao Chunyi suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared!

"Yin San has seen the 'Heavenly General'!" Yin San's eyes flashed, and he immediately bowed down to the ground and shouted.

"I've seen the 'Heavenly General'!" Immediately everyone bowed down to Zhang Zhuofan, who suddenly appeared next to Ao Chunyi, and Wu Wuji had to do the same!

"......." Zhang Zhuofan didn't speak, but stared at Wu Wuji as if he were a substance, and didn't speak.
