Chapter 153 Zhennanhou Mansion
Jiang Feng sighed lightly with some emotion, then solemnly stretched out his hand and took out an envelope from his arms, looked at Bai Jiudao: "Bailixi is for it, so he tried every possible way to kill me, I still reported some fantasies before, but I didn't expect that Bailixi had completely become another person, and he didn't miss the old feelings at all."

Seeing the yellowed envelope in Jiang Feng's hand, Bai Jiu frowned slightly and looked surprised and suspicious, "This is?"
Jiang Feng glanced at Bai Jiu, who was puzzled, took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Presumably Brother Bai also knows that in this southern territory, the power of the imperial court is very small, so it is not worth mentioning at all." ”
Although Bai Jiu didn't understand why Jiang Feng was involved in the government, he also quite agreed with Jiang Feng's words.
The power of the imperial court in the southern frontier is indeed weak, not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the fact that Bai Jiu's Holy Fire Sect has completely taken West Wind City under his command, and the government has not reacted at all.
Although the location of Zephyr City is remote and dispensable to the imperial court, don't forget that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, if the southern Xinjiang government is strong, Bai Jiu dares to do so, I am afraid that it will be wiped out by the imperial army long ago.
Seeing Bai Jiu looking at himself in confusion, Jiang Feng said in a deep voice with a solemn expression: "Brother Bai is in Qingyang City, maybe it is not clear, although the power of the imperial court in southern Xinjiang is not as good as fifty years ago, but for us and other ordinary Jianghu forces, it is still a behemoth. ‘’
Jiang Feng's words immediately shocked Bai Jiu's heart, in Bai Jiu's eyes, the official mansion of the southern frontier has never had the slightest sense of existence, whether it is the West Wind City or the Qingyang Mansion, the official mansion in Bai Jiu's eyes is not as good as some big sect disciples.
But now that Jiang Feng actually said this, it was obvious that he had something hidden, Bai Jiu immediately looked straight, looked at Jiang Feng and said in a deep voice: "I would like to hear it in detail, and I would like to ask Brother Jiang to solve my doubts." ‘’
Jiang Feng looked at Bai Jiu Zhengse and said, "Brother Bai doesn't need to be polite, I naturally won't hide anything, but this matter has to start from the beginning." ‘’
After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he pondered and then said: "It has been 500 years since the founding of the Great Shang, when the Great Shang was first founded, the country was prosperous, and the imperial court was able to multiply it, not only the boundaries of the Central Plains, but also the Southern Xinjiang, the Western Regions, Mobei, and the East China Sea outside the Central Plains were also under its firm control. ”
Listening to Jiang Feng's words, Bai Jiu was quite surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the power of the government to be so strong, and then he remembered the current southern border of the territory, and the weak official government immediately said in a deep voice: "Could it be that something happened to make the imperial court lose control of southern Xinjiang?"
Jiang Feng nodded, and boasted with emotion: "Brother Bai guessed right, the Great Shang has been established for five hundred years, and the song and dance have been peaceful, this has been peaceful for a long time, and it is natural to embark on the same old path as other dynasties, corrupt officials are in charge, and the internal decay has begun, but with the foundation of the Great Shang, it has barely maintained stability until eighty years ago." ‘’
Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, looked at Bai Jiu and continued: "Eighty years ago, Emperor Wen Ji Hao succeeded to the throne, in order to save the corrupt Great Shang, Emperor Wen Ji Hao issued twelve martial arts bans, stipulating that except for people in the court who can practice martial arts and wear blades, other forces are not allowed to gather to practice martial arts, and those who disobey the order will not be killed. ”
Hearing this, Bai Jiu was clumsy for a moment, and he really couldn't understand in his heart, this Emperor Wen Ji Haoyue, what was wrong with the head of the scriptures, would actually issue such an order, didn't this force the major forces in the rivers and lakes to unite and rebel. ”
As if he had guessed what Bai Jiu was thinking, Jiang Feng nodded solemnly and said: "Brother Bai, you guessed right, Emperor Wen's move is indeed to force the famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes and the gangs of the martial arts family to rebel, so as to wipe out all the ambitious forces in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, but it is a pity that Emperor Wen looks down on the corrupt big businessmen and underestimates the big forces in the rivers and lakes." ‘’
In just one year, the sects and families in the entire rivers and lakes shot one after another, killing the prefect today, killing the prefect tomorrow, as long as it was a court official, he would kill it when he saw it, and in just one year, it directly made the decree of the Great Shang Dynasty not take a step out of the capital, making the entire Shenzhou a mess. ”
"Didn't the imperial court send troops to encircle and suppress it?"
But it was Du beside Bai Jiu who listened for a long time, couldn't bear it, and looked at Jiang Feng and asked.
Jiang Feng was no stranger to Du, knowing that he was Bai Jiu's henchman, he chuckled and said: "The people in the rivers and lakes come and go, you know where their sect is, what if you destroy its sect, and the court is not facing that sect, but all the forces in the entire rivers and lakes." ”
"What was the end result?"
Jiang Feng groaned, looked at Jiang Feng with curiosity and asked.
Jiang Feng glanced at Bai Jiu and the others, and said with a boastful expression: "In just a few years, not only has the imperial court suffered heavy losses, but many sects have also been wiped out in the entire rivers and lakes, and in the end, it is rumored that a great master in the rivers and lakes suddenly appeared and went to the palace in person, and finally this matter calmed down. ‘’
''Grand Master?''
Hearing these three words, Bai Jiu's heart shook wildly, and he looked at Jiang Feng with a surprised expression.
Jiang Feng, who is also a martial arts practitioner, was not surprised by Bai Jiu's expression, and said softly with a yearning expression: "Yes, it is the great martial arts master who can step into the air, but no one has seen it, maybe it's just a rumor." ‘’
Bai Jiu's expression was calm and silent for a while, and he looked at Jiang Feng and said, "This is the reason why the power of the Southern Xinjiang government is weak?
Facing Bai Jiu's inquiry, Jiang Feng looked at Bai Jiu with a solemn expression and said, "Because of the Zhennan Hou Mansion." ”
"Zhennan Hou Mansion?"
When Bai Jiu heard these four words, he was a little puzzled at the moment, because Bai Jiu had never heard of such a force.
Looking at Bai Jiu, who was puzzled, Jiang Feng said in a deep voice: "Since that incident, the imperial court has shrunk most of its forces in the Central Plains to suppress the major forces, but outside the Central Plains is also the territory of the Great Shang, so naturally it will not be ignored, so they have pardoned a Hou Ye in Southern Xinjiang, Western Regions, Mobei, and East China Sea, and my southern Xinjiang is the Marquis of Zhennan." ”
Glancing at Bai Jiu, Jiang Feng continued with a solemn expression: "This Zhennanhou is hereditary, in addition to the land of Yifu rewarded by the imperial court as a fief, he also holds 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and the most important thing is that the martial arts of each generation of Zhennanhou are all first-class high, and with the addition of some people in the rivers and lakes who cling to the powerful as guests, it can be said that I am the first force in southern Xinjiang, well-deserved." ”
Bai Jiu's expression was shocked at the moment, and then he said with doubts: "Since the strength of the Zhennan Hou Mansion is so strong, why is it not famous in the southern frontier, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't care about the official government at all?"
