A hundred years ago, there were five sects in Yanzhou, and these five sects quietly became a force to be reckoned with in Yanzhou. www.biquge.info Some people say that the founder of these five factions is a subordinate of Hou Jing in the Southern Liang period, and after Hou Jing rebelled and killed Xiao Yan in a failed manner, he was killed by his five subordinates, and then these five departments disappeared overnight, and a month later, there were five sects side by side in the Yanzhou area, namely the Chang Xuan faction, the Lingnan faction, the Hu Feng faction, the Yunshui faction and the Eagle Claw faction. Of course, this is just a legend, whether it is true or not, even Master Longkong does not know. It is estimated that this secret is only known to the heads of these five sects.

As early as the Southern Liang and Sui dynasties, Yanzhou was a big state, but after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the state capital was easier several times, and now Yanzhou is just a small state capital, although the five major factions all have industries in Yanzhou, but only the general rudder of the Eagle Grasp faction is still in Yanzhou, and the general rudder and power of the rest of the factions have long been developed outward, Chenzhou, Maozhou, Yingzhou, Xuzhou and even Dengzhou are the absolute sphere of influence of the five factions. A hundred years have allowed the power of the original state to develop into today's seven factions and nine gangs, in fact, the rights of the seven factions and nine gangs have always been firmly in the hands of the five factions in Yanzhou. Even if the Xuzhou Shuangjian Sect has risen very rapidly in recent years, on the whole, it is still incomparable with the behemoth of the Yanzhou Five Sects.

If the Twin Sword Sect really wanted to replace the Yanzhou Five Sects, unless the two brothers, Li Fengyu and Li Fengchen, could reach the Silver Moon Long Sword Li Shunpeide realm, it would be almost impossible. This is why the Twin Sword Sect immediately wooed Sima Wuregret when they knew that Sima Wuregret had reached the realm of transformation by heart in terms of internal strength. The top masters in the sect, even if there is only one person, is definitely a powerful force, if it weren't for the withering of the talents of the five factions in Yanzhou over the years, it would not have allowed the Twin Sword Sect to have the scale it has today.

Since everyone came back from Dali, Tubo, these days, the people of the five factions in Yanzhou are not having a good time, and the sects in the rivers and lakes care about reputation very much, not only for the sake of fame, but also because fame can bring a lot of practical things. Just like the Hu Feng faction, their main business in the millizhou is in the medical hall and pottery, since the five tiger sects made the secret letter public, the reputation of the five factions in Yanzhou has dropped to the extreme, the people in the household will basically not go to the hospital of the Hu Feng faction, and many business partners no longer ask for goods from them, in just two weeks, the economy of the Hu Feng faction has almost been cut off. The Hu Feng faction is like this, and the other four factions are not much better, even the Chang Xuan faction can only keep their original two or three percent of their business, and all of a sudden life has become very difficult for these five sects.

This is the case in business, and the officialdom is even more serious, several Qingliu officials pay attention to their reputation, and the Qingliu officials who were originally good friends with the Yanzhou Five factions have completely cut off contact, and many local officials who hold heavy power no longer give convenience to the Yanzhou Five factions. Whether it is above the court or in the four seas, without the support of officialdom, the five factions of Yanzhou are like tigers without claws, with no strength but no strength.

And the sects above the rivers and lakes are not to mention, almost all of them are grass on the wall, and they soon fell to different forces, in the Jiangbei martial arts, those sects that were originally close to the south simply threw themselves into the arms of the Jiangnan Wuhumen, and some of the sects in Qingzhou and Youzhou befriended the Xuzhou Shuangjian faction, and some sects learned the Golden Sword Sect and no one was pleased. All of a sudden, there was a lot of rumors, and the power of the five factions in Yanzhou that had accumulated for a hundred years was almost destroyed.

And all this happened in less than two weeks.

Today, in the name of Chen Shunpei's Silver Moon Long Sword, the Chang Xuan faction convened the five factions to discuss major matters together in Chenzhou. Things have come to this point, and if we don't do something, I'm afraid that a hundred years of hard work will really be burned.

"Everyone, I, Chen, don't say much today, everyone must know the current situation, we must do something, otherwise the surrounding sects will treat us as fat. ”

Chen Shunpei opened today's topic with one sentence, all the superiors of the five factions in Yanzhou have arrived in Chenzhou today, if so many people can't come up with a way together, the five factions in Yanzhou will really have no way to survive in the future. On the three roads of business, officialdom, and rivers and lakes, the five factions in Yanzhou were all blocked. Now what can be relied on is force, after all, in the final and most critical time, force is the means to determine the true status of a sect.

"In the past two weeks, the Iron Horse Gang has cut off the sales of tea in the north of our Yang family, and even threatened that we will not run errands for us in the future, and will not give us the horse farm in Fenzhou again. ”

It was the head of the Lingnan faction who spoke, Yang Ao. In the past, the Iron Horse Gang has always been a dependence of the five factions in Yanzhou, and has been entrenched in Hebei for a long time, relying on the two horse farms in Fenzhou and Daizhou, and is also responsible for all the sales business in Hebei. Before, because the power of the five factions in Yanzhou was extremely powerful, the Iron Horse Gang naturally had to wait for a good life, but now all of a sudden, the Iron Horse Gang was in trouble, and it was so passive with the five factions in Yanzhou.

"Yes, that iron dog turned his face and didn't recognize people, and even cut off our family's silk business, which is really hateful. In my opinion, it is not possible to give him a little color. ”

The help of the Iron Horse Gang is called Iron Hook, and some people in private call him Iron Dog, and the Yunshui Sect wants to rely on the Iron Horse Gang to run some silk business, and now it is good and clean.

"And the people of the Salt Water Gang didn't even let our Eagle Claw faction's boat cross the river, I think they all ate the courage of the ambitious leopard, and dared to openly oppose our Yanzhou Five factions. ”

Tan Yipiao, the head of the Eagle Claw Sect, was very arrogant, and he never thought that the big and small sects that would please them in every way on weekdays would take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble and almost expel our forces from Hebei.

"Brother Chen, these small sects used to be attached to us, but now they are openly against us, if we still let them go, I'm afraid that after this period of time, our Yanzhou five factions will really not be able to live. ”

As the so-called family does not know the price of firewood and rice, the head of the five factions in Yanzhou is the most clear about the accounts of each sect, among the five sects have raised a large number of martial arts people, everyone is used to spending money lavishly on weekdays, but now once all aspects are restricted, the family of the five factions can support at most three or four months, but the real problem is that the business of the five factions in all places is shrinking rapidly, even if it takes three or four months for the five factions to solve the problems in three aspects, but by then those who come to make a living have already been eaten up by others, and they will face the problem of no money。

It costs money to have good medicinal materials, it costs money to have good weapons, it costs money to find worship masters in the sect, and even juniors have to spend money to practice martial arts and go through the rivers and lakes, none of these places can be missing. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and no money will have little impact on a sect for a while, but in the long run, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the five factions in Yanzhou.

But now there are far more enemies in front of the five factions in Yanzhou than there are methods.

"Yes, our Lingnan faction also advocates giving those small sects some colors first, otherwise they really think that our Yanzhou five factions are easy to bully. ”

Hearing the opinions of the heads of the three factions, Chen Shunpei closed his eyes and thought for a while, in fact, he had guessed this situation before, but this answer was not what he wanted.

"Everyone, wait, it's better to listen to what I Dai has to say. ”

Dai Changzhi of the Hu Feng faction, although his kung fu is not the highest among all the people here, but his brain is very good.

"The unveiling of Master Longkong's letter back then was obviously very unfavorable to our Yanzhou Five Sects, and there were two factors in this. The first is trust, originally those sects that were attached to us because they knew that they could get the benefits of long-term peace and stability by relying on us, and because they knew that our five factions in Yanzhou could cover them. But twenty years ago, because of the Thunder Swordsman, the heads of our five factions decided to assassinate those in their own sect, which shook those who were attached to us. In other words, they have lost a few copies of their trust in us, and we Yanzhou Five Sects were originally moral beings, but now they are attached to us and may become our outcasts at any time. I thought that in this case, even if we let the people below suppress them, there may not be a good result, I heard that the Iron Horse Gang, Yanshui Bang and Qingzhou Gang, these regional gangs have reached a system, it can be said that they have become a force to be reckoned with, it is not easy to move them, and the Shuangjian faction is in Xuzhou, if these regional gangs fall to the Shuangjian faction at that time, it will be very unfavorable to us. ”

"Come on, in the past, the government was very tolerant of our five factions in Yanzhou, and if we openly challenge these sects now, I am afraid that the government will also come forward, and it will not end well. Once stopped by the government, our Yanzhou five factions will become more passive, and the foundation of Jiangbei Martial Arts, which has been painstakingly operated for many years, may be shaken. ”

After Dai Changzhi finished speaking, the heads of the Iron Horse Gang and the Salt Water Gang who were clamoring to make the Iron Horse Gang and the Salt Water Gang suffer a little didn't say much, although they didn't see it as thoroughly as Dai Changzhi, but they weren't stupid, they were just angry for a while.

"What Master Dai said is, just now you said two unfavorable factors, I don't know what the other one is?"

Chen Shunpei nodded first, and then immediately asked again.

"This one is trust, and the other is authenticity. Although there is no obvious demarcation between the good and evil factions in the rivers and lakes, the gangsters of those years did indeed offend the vast majority of the sects in the rivers and lakes, and it can be said that they have a lot of blood debts, so the people in the rivers and lakes regard the gangsters as the number one enemy, the evil faction among the evil factions. But the gang was quickly destroyed, and no one knows until now that the gang was destroyed, but twenty years ago, our Yanzhou Five factions cooperated with the gang, which completely affected the most fundamental reputation of our Yanzhou Five factions. Without the authentic name of the rivers and lakes, the government no longer has to give us face, and fellow martial artists will not give us convenience, because we are no longer the authentic sect of the Xuanming Sect. ”
