After the battle with Ouyang Fenglan, Wang Yuelong's life fell into peace again.

And he and Huang Siyu hurried back to Luoxia Valley before dawn the next day, and continued to conduct special training for the core disciples of the younger generation of the Five Merchants Alliance.

However, although Wang Yuelong's life has returned to peace, the people in the rivers and lakes in Taiyuan Mansion are not necessarily very peaceful.

The results of the battle between Wang Yuelong and Ouyang Fenglan were quickly known by the various large and small Jianghu forces in Taiyuan Mansion in the rumors in the city and under the impetus of people with good intentions.

Although this is just a small fight between the two, it is of great significance to the entire Jianghu.

The two people who fought against each other, one was born in the Qizhou Wang family, the strongest family in the rivers and lakes of Dongzhou, and the strongest force in the Five Business Alliance, who was not famous before but was awarded the title of "Dragon King" in this World Heroes Conference, and the other is the new generation of top heroes Ouyang Fenglan, who was born in the capital of the Ouyang family, one of the several major families in the rivers and lakes of Shangzhou, who has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time.

The battle between the two is not just a small battle between two people. What is contained in it is the game of the two big forces behind the two. Of course, the Ouyang family in the capital of Shangzhou is not at the same level as the Qizhou Wang family of the Five Merchants Alliance of Dongzhou, if these two forces are compared together, the Ouyang family in the capital of Shangzhou will be completely crushed.

What can be compared with the Qizhou Wang clan of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, in addition to those super forces on the rivers and lakes, is the royal family standing behind the Ouyang family in the capital of Shangzhou.

Dongzhou has always been the sphere of influence of the King of Qi, even if the imperial court canceled the title of the prince of the King of Qi, but the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, a huge force that inherited the line of the King of Qi, has always stood in Dongzhou, deeply affecting the people of this large area.

The imperial court has always been jealous of the king's lineage.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "Shandong is peaceful, the world is safe", and the rulers of all dynasties and dynasties have taken into account the co-optation and suppression of Shandong's wealthy families, and the administrative scope of Shandong has been constantly narrowed. In ancient times, the peasant uprisings, or the change of dynasty, many of them were raised in Shandong. The importance of the land of Shandong can be seen.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the royal family of Qizhou Wang, who was also the king of Qi in the previous dynasty, was opened, and the title of King Qi that had been inherited for hundreds of years was canceled, and the four affiliated families of the Qizhou Wang family were moved to four places, and even a Bai family was set up in Dengzhou as a containment of the Qizhou Wang family.

But I have to say that this series of actions of the royal family was a failure in the end. The connection between the Wang family and the other four major families in Qizhou shifted from the open to the dark, and after a hundred years of hiding, taking advantage of the imperial family's inability to take care of Shandong, they openly formed the Five Merchants Alliance. After the Dengzhou Bai family was raised and strengthened, they were unwilling to be the lackeys of the imperial court, and took advantage of the civil strife of the royal family to successfully get rid of the control of the royal family and become independent.

By the time the civil strife in the royal family was quelled, it was already a few years later. During this period, the Five Merchants Alliance, led by the Wang clan of Qizhou, quickly recovered its vitality by virtue of the historical background, and not only regained control of Shandong, but even Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places were included in the sphere of influence of the Five Merchants Alliance.

At that time, although the comprehensive strength of the Five Merchants Alliance was not as good as that of the entire imperial court, the imperial family no longer had the ability to dismember the Five Merchants Alliance at will.

And the Bai family, which seized Dengzhou, Shandong, formed a huge buffer zone with the imperial court through the five merchant alliances of the Wang clan of Qizhou, and simply ignored the orders of the imperial family.

However, the Five Merchants Alliance did not dare to make a move on the Dengzhou Bai family easily, so the Qizhou Wang Family's Five Merchants Alliance, the Imperial Court, and the Dengzhou Bai Family formed a three-legged situation. No one dared to touch anyone, for fear that the other two would unite.

But as the ruler of the world, the imperial court will naturally not stop there. At that time, the emperor united the officials of the imperial court to re-divide the world, and the world was divided into five continents and four regions. All of Shandong and Jiangsu, and part of Hebei and Zhejiang, were included in Dongzhou by the imperial court.

In this way, although the territory of the Five Merchants Alliance was connected, the Five Merchants Alliance was surrounded by the imperial court.

To the east is the Dengzhou Bai family, and to the north, west, and south are the territory of the imperial court.

It is also for this reason that the grievances between the Qizhou Wang family and the imperial court have been around for a long time. And in the past few hundred years, the relationship between Dongzhou and other four continents and four places has not been very good, and it is also because the appearance of the Wang family of Qizhou and the imperial court is inseparable, and they have attracted and suppressed each other.

Not much to say, just talk about Wang Yuelong and Ouyang Fenglan. Ouyang Fenglan can have his current status in the rivers and lakes, in addition to his own talent, he also has a great relationship with the support of the imperial court. It can be said that Ouyang Fenglan is the representative of the younger generation on the rivers and lakes launched by the imperial court.

Wang Yuelong is naturally recognized as the representative of the younger generation in the Five Merchants Alliance, and his status is beyond doubt.

And their battle this time was naturally regarded by the forces in the rivers and lakes who knew the gap between the Qizhou Wang clan and the imperial court, as a contemporary game between the Qizhou Wang clan and the imperial court.

Obviously, Ouyang Fenglan's defeat was so complete that it reached the eyes of those big and small forces on the rivers and lakes, and it became another signal.

The Five Merchants Alliance, led by the Wang family of Qizhou, has risen strongly in Wang Yuelong's generation.

For hundreds of years, although the Qizhou Wang's Five Merchants Alliance has always stood strongly on the land of Dongzhou, in the game with the imperial court, the Qizhou Wang's Five Merchants Alliance has always been slightly declining. And the two families, two sects and four families that rose after the collapse of the Heavenly Demon Gate a hundred years ago have more or less the shadow of the imperial court behind them, including the Dengzhou Bai family, which broke away from the control of the imperial court hundreds of years ago, and at some point, they are very close to the imperial court.

The rise of the two families, two sects and four families has greatly impacted the status of the five merchant alliances of the Wang family in Qizhou. Even the Hundred Flowers Valley was in the ranking of the gang list, ranking the ranking of the Qizhou Wang's Five Business Alliance behind the two sects, two sects and four families. After the fall of the Heavenly Demon Gate a hundred years ago, it can be said that it was the most declining time since the establishment of the Five Merchants Alliance.

Fortunately, the depth of the Qizhou Wang's Five Merchants Alliance is definitely not comparable to other forces on the rivers and lakes, nine years ago, when the Hundred Flowers Five Lists were updated, the Five Merchants Alliance occupied six positions in the God List, and it was recognized by the rivers and lakes as a signal that the Five Merchants Alliance was about to rise.

Now, Wang Yuelong was able to run Ouyang Fenglan cleanly, and such a strong performance would naturally be regarded as a signal for the complete rise of the Five Merchants Alliance.

Because only when you are strong can you be strong.
