The Imperial Palace of the capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chongzhen received a "gift box" from Li Zicheng, and when he found the head of Grandmaster Su Yi inside, Emperor Chongzhen first lost his temper, and then his face was full of grief.

Su Yi is the only grandmaster who obeys the orders of the imperial court, and now that he is dead in the hands of Li Zicheng, Chongzhen can no longer be a real master.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and the generals and general soldiers had to look at the face of a seven-grade county commander, which shows the low status of the warriors. Truly capable warriors are dignified. If you can't be reused, let alone respected, no one will want to serve the imperial court.

Su Yi was born in Jinyiwei, and after becoming a grandmaster, he directly became the emperor's bodyguard, and he was loyal to the imperial court, which can only be regarded as an exception.

Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen: "Great companion, you say, am I the emperor about to reach the end? The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all boastful, and none of them can really do things. Su Yi is the only grandmaster in the imperial court, but unfortunately, he is now dead in the hands of Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's army has approached the capital and is believed to be attacking soon. ”

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, the court is in danger, the news has spread out of the capital, I believe that King Qin's army will come soon, and Li Zicheng's rebels will not be afraid at that time." ”

Chongzhen shook his head, he no longer had hope in the army of the Qinwang from all walks of life. In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only army that could fight was the Guanning army controlled by Wu Sangui, but the Guanning army had to resist the Manchu iron cavalry outside the Guan, and it could not be transferred back to the capital to King Qin.

"Big companion, send a holy decree to Shaolin and Wudang, let them dispatch the grandmaster, and be sure to kill Li Zicheng. As long as it is done, I will be rewarded. Emperor Chongzhen said.

In ancient times, there were thirteen stick monks to save the Tang king.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that as long as he issued a holy decree to Shaolin Wudang, he could let the grandmasters of the two major sects come to serve him. The Taoist temple and palace on Wudang Mountain were built by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, so the imperial court was kind to the Wudang faction.

Wang Chengen nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid will let Jinyiwei go to Shaolin and Wudang to send a message." ”

As soon as Wang Chengen walked to the door, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Send a holy decree to the White Lotus Sect as well." ”

Wang Chengen was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect is a thief. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "The biggest enemies of the imperial court now are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Although Chen Ji is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he has not rebelled with the White Lotus Sect in the past few years in charge. I was very curious about what kind of teenager Chen Ji was, so young that he could sit on the position of sect leader. ”

Wang Chengen nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor gave the White Lotus a holy decree, which is a strange thing. After receiving the holy decree, will Chen Ji rush to the rescue?

Wang Chengen was skeptical.

..................

When Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue came to Nanjing, they found that many people were carrying weapons, and the style of martial arts was much stronger than when Chen Ji first came to Nanjing.

In Nanjing back then, it was popular to be talented and beautiful, but now, is it popular to practice martial arts?

"Why are there so many martial artists in Nanjing?" asked Zhang Mingyue curiously.

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's a martial arts conference or something like a celebration that the martial arts world is going to hold in Nanjing." Let's ask, and we'll find out. ”

Based on the intelligence channels of the White Lotus Sect, it stands to reason that it is impossible to hide any major incidents in the martial arts world from Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue.

Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue came to a shop, which was the rudder of the White Lotus Sect in Nanjing.

Liang Bai, the helmsman, is a middle-aged man who has just reached the first-class level in martial arts, and when the grandmaster does not come out, he can be regarded as a master.

"Master, Holy Maiden. Two inside please. Liang Bai invited Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue to the backyard and personally poured tea for the two.

Although the main altar of the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed, the White Lotus Sect has been thriving in the past few years, and everyone's life is several times better than before, all of which depend on Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue.

In particular, the construction of the base area can really be described as a stroke of genius, which convinces the helmsmen.

After a few words of greeting, Chen Ji asked directly: "Liang Bai, this seat asks you, why are there so many martial arts practitioners in Nanjing City?

Zhang Mingyue was also curious.

The helmsman Liang Bai said: "Sect Master, there are many people practicing martial arts in Nanjing City, and there is a reason. There are two reasons, and one of them has a lot to do with the sect leader. ”

"Does it have anything to do with this seat?" Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue glanced at each other, and there was surprise and surprise on their faces.

Through Liang Bai's explanation, Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue learned the truth.

Three years ago, Chen Ji and Yamamoto Hongichi competed on Junshan Island, and their martial arts and swordsmanship shocked many people. The merchants and scholars who watched the battle regarded the grandmaster and warrior as immortals.

Those scholars who watched the battle, although they still belittled the martial artists, saying that they were puppets, in fact, in the hearts of the readers, they didn't know how much they envied the martial arts possessed by the grandmaster.

Wanting to be strong is everyone's innate instinct.

Those merchants and scholars who watched the battle used the resources in their hands to invite martial arts lessons for their children, hoping that their children could also become grandmasters in the future.

Not to mention others, even Qian Qianyi is now practicing some simple health preservation exercises.

Chen Ji didn't expect that the decisive battle between himself and Yamamoto Hongichi would even arouse people's martial spirit.

Chen Ji said with a smile: "It's a good thing to practice martial arts and strengthen your body." ”

Zhang Mingyue smiled and nodded: "It's indeed a good thing." ”

Liang Bai said: "Sect Master, because there are many people who practice martial arts, there is a lack of martial arts teaching. We, the White Lotus Sect, have already opened three martial arts halls in Nanjing City. The owners of the pavilion are all first-class martial artists, and they can earn 3,000 to 5,000 taels of silver every month. ”

Three thousand to five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.

Chen Ji's eyes lit up and said, "This is an opportunity. Not only do we need to open martial arts halls in Nanjing, but also other cities. Even, you can open the martial arts hall to the capital. ”

Martial arts hall, dart game.

Chen Ji thought of two ways to make a fortune.

Martial arts training requires resources.

Exercises, weapons, are the most basic.

The daily food consumption is the big head, and ordinary people's families can't afford a warrior at all.

If you want resources, you naturally need to earn more wealth.

Chen Ji has a hand in medicine, and from time to time robbed one or two local tyrants and inferior gentry who were rich and unkind. There is a lot of money in his hand, but he can only ensure that Daoist Baihe, Zhang Mingyue, and Chen Ji can use it himself. As for Zuo Li and Wang Jiang, now that their injuries have healed and their martial arts have recovered, Chen Jidu no longer supplies him with resources. If you want resources, you can only find a way to make money by yourself.

Liang Bai said: "Sect Master, Holy Maiden, there are many people who practice martial arts now, and everyone knows that opening a martial arts hall can make money. Other sects and martial arts families have also opened martial arts halls. Last month, our White Lotus Sect's martial arts hall also clashed with the Shaolin Temple's martial arts hall. ”

Chen Ji was silent for a while, it is not surprising that everyone wants a piece of the business that can make money. After all, those sects and martial arts families also need to survive and resources. They are no different from the White Lotus Sect.

Chen Ji said: "With interests, conflicts are inevitable. Liang Bai, inform me that the martial arts hall of the White Lotus Sect does not need to hide its secrets, as long as the virtue is passable and the person is not morally corrupt, we can all teach real kung fu, and even the profound secret methods of the inner family can be passed on. How much those who come to our White Lotus Sect Martial Arts Hall to practice depends on their own efforts and cultivation. ”

The Ming Dynasty was a very conservative era, a real masterpiece. Masters generally don't teach apprentices easily. Chen Ji hopes to break this rule, only in this way will martial arts really prosper, and there is no need to worry about it being lost.

Chinese martial arts is a precious wealth and wisdom left by the ancestors to their children and grandchildren, and it would be a pity if it was gradually lost.

I'm sorry for the ancestors, I must not do it.

Liang Bai and Zhang Mingyue were shocked when they heard Chen Ji's words. Spread all the secret methods of the inner family? That's the secret inheritance of every sect.

"Xianggong, are you too bold to do this?" Zhang Mingyue said.

Chen Ji said firmly: "Mingyue, I do this, naturally I have my reasons. Okay, we know the first reason, Liang Bai, you can talk about the second reason. ”

Liang Bai nodded and said, "The second reason is that there is a Japanese swordsman named Kuroki Jiro who came to Nanjing City to set up a ring. He took out a thousand taels of gold and said that if anyone could beat him in the ring, he would get the thousand taels of gold. ”

A thousand taels of gold is equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is a huge wealth for any martial artist. With so much money, cultivation resources can be solved.

"Japanese swordsman?" Chen Ji frowned.

Liang Bai nodded and said, "It's the Japanese swordsman." However, this Kuroki Jiro is very powerful, and a first-class martial artist can't even move ten moves in his hands. It's been more than ten days, and there are a lot of people in the ring, but no one has beaten him. Now that Kuroki Jiro's fame has been hit, many warriors who have gotten the news have gathered in Nanjing City, hoping to see Japanese swordsmanship in the ring. ”

"I see. Chen Ji said with a smile.

I don't know why, Chen Ji always feels that this Kuroki Jiro is likely to come for him.

After becoming a grandmaster, Chen Ji's sixth sense was much stronger, and he believed in his intuition very much.

Jiro Kuroki is definitely not a simple character.

Chen Ji then told the plan of the martial arts hall and the dart game, and Liang Bai said excitedly: "Sect Master, your idea is really wonderful. ”

The dart game, which really took shape and became a scale, was during the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Ji has now got the dart bureau out first, not only can he escort goods for businessmen, but he can also undertake even sending letters and mails.

The dart game mentioned by Chen Ji is actually very close to modern logistics.

Chen Ji said: "Then set up a dart bureau in Nanjing first, and after this seat returns to Huashan, it will arrange for other rudder masters to come over to help." ”

Leaving the rudder and walking on the street, Chen Ji said to Zhang Mingyue: "Mingyue, let's go to Qian Qianyi's mansion first and meet Sister Liu." I'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”

Zhang Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay." ”
