Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 68 Martial Arts
In name, the main organizer of the Imperial Martial Arts Examination is the Imperial General Administration of Internal Affairs, but the implementation of many specific tasks is mostly done by the Central Plains Guild Hall, which is closely related to the imperial royal family, such as the construction of facilities, and the training of various schools of martial arts. Most of the invitations, including the proposal and modification of the competition regulations and selection system, and the organization and implementation of the entire competition process, are mostly carried out by the Zhongyuan Guild Hall or the Zhong Yuan Guild Hall invites and hires well-known figures in the martial arts.
The internal affairs department of the empire is mainly responsible for the qualification review of the contestants and referees to prevent people with malicious intentions or impostors from mixing in. The personnel invited and hired by the guild hall to serve as referees and organizers are basically more competent, and there has not been any obvious favoritism and fraud for many years.
When Wufeng brought Qin Gu's second daughter and Song Tianxiong to the West Competition Field, the place was already crowded with people and it was very lively. In addition to some people from the martial arts world, most of them are people who love martial arts in the imperial capital. This is also the original intention of the imperial court to hold the martial arts test. It is to arouse the martial spirit of the people and encourage them to be loyal to the empire. Emperor's family, this sentence is probably the purpose of Wu Yushi.
Wufeng is still a bit unfamiliar with all of this. Martial arts people with different costumes and logos pass by from time to time. They are all kinds of people, and most of them hang swords. Restricted weapons. However, in this arena, you can see the patrols of the Imperial Police Station and the spies in plain clothes at any time and anywhere, and even in case of accidents, a regiment of city guards is stationed near the arena to keep them safe at all times. Standby status, just in case.
The second daughter, Qin and Gu, seemed very enthusiastic about this year's martial arts test. When they entered the competition field, they searched around to see if they could see someone from their sect appearing. Even Song Tianxiong, who had always been calm, couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. Although there was not much expression change on his face, his fiery eyes revealed the thoughts in his heart. All of this was seen by Wufeng, which deepened Wufeng's curiosity for a deeper understanding of Jianghu martial arts.
"Tianxiong, will you Daxiangguo Temple participate in this martial arts test?" Seeing that the two women were too busy to see each other, Wufeng had already ignored Wufeng, so Wufeng had no choice but to turn the object to Song Tianxiong who had been following behind him.
Although Song Tianxiong was also looking around, when he stepped into the arena, he realized that it was a great mistake for him to agree to Wufeng's plainclothes travel in the morning without bringing guards. Carrying weapons with him is a great threat to the safety of adults, and he is only one person, and the two women's minds are focused on other things. It is simply a problem to protect Wufeng's safety.
"My lord, I think we should go back, it's too messy here, it's really unsafe." Song Tianxiong replied nervously while looking around the situation.
"It doesn't matter, we are all disguised, no one will recognize us, and there are so many security personnel around, who would do what here?" Wufeng replied with a relaxed expression.
"No, my lord, I'm responsible for your safety. It's really not safe here. Either we go back, or you go over there." The more Song Tianxiong thought about it, the more unsafe he felt. He wanted Wufeng to go there The VIP seats on the side, the VIP seats are located in a special area in front of each high platform, and a special area is designated for the important ministers and nobles who have the status of earl or above in the empire. Tea tables and chairs are placed, and they are also isolated from the surroundings. And there are guards patrolling.
But Wufeng didn't want to reveal his identity. He just wanted to watch the game as an ordinary person, so he put on a disguise. , This will definitely attract the attention of the personnel of the internal affairs department who are in charge of inspections, then the makeup is meaningless, so Wufeng resolutely rejected Song Tianxiong's request, and Song Tianxiong did not insist anymore.
"Tianxiong, you're worrying too much. Isn't it more conspicuous to go to the VIP seat, maybe it's more dangerous." Wufeng replied with a smile, the fight on the high platform had already attracted his attention, "Hey, God Xiong, which sect do you think it belongs to?"
Seeing Wufeng's stubbornness, Song Tianxiong could only secretly pray that nothing would happen. At the same time, he also greeted the two girls, asking them to be more vigilant and pay attention to the movement around them, "My lord, where do you think it is? The Eagle Claw Gate of Huaiyang Mansion, you can see that the weapons they carry are a bit special, they all have a long chain of iron eagle claws, it is said that their iron eagle claws are specially made of fine iron, and there are organs inside, if you use internal force to move them , and can also burst out hidden weapons, which is hard to guard against, and it is the same powerful weapon."
Wu Feng looked carefully and found that all the disciples dressed in the same color had a bulging loose cloth bag wrapped around their waists, with a chain handle leaking out of the bag, which happened to be in the most convenient position for the hand, which was obviously carefully designed. , and although the first one is a bit old, he still looks like a dragon and a horse, with extraordinary momentum.
Seeing that Wufeng was paying attention to the old man, Song Tianxiong hurriedly introduced in a low voice: "The old man is the master of the Eagle Claw Gate. His hands, his Hunyuan Eagle Claw Kung Fu has reached the pinnacle, smashing rocks and cracking monuments, invincible, it is really a unique skill in the external hard qigong."
Seeing that Song Tianxiong understood so thoroughly, Wufeng couldn't help feeling very surprised, "Tianxiong, you know this old man so clearly, could it be related to him?"
"My lord, you are joking. How could Tianxiong have anything to do with them? It's just that although the Eagle Claw Gate is located in Donghai County, it has always been closely related to the northern martial arts. When I was still learning from my master, I once I followed the master to visit the door, but it was already a year ago, and they probably don't have any impression of it." Song Tianxiong replied with a smile.
"Tianxiong, how many sects are there in this empire's martial arts? I think there are at least 30,000 people in the martial arts arena. Excluding the common people in Dadu, I think there are at least 10,000 people in the martial arts. There are so many talented people here in the Imperial Martial Arts." Wufeng looked around with great interest as he walked.
"My lord, you have misunderstood a little. In fact, whether it is Jianghu gang or martial arts sect, there are not many so-called real masters. Except for some sects with deep roots and long-term scale, the martial arts of other small and medium-sized sects There are very few masters, and most of them are ordinary disciples. However, if you have practiced the martial arts of this sect, most of them can only be said to be good for strengthening your body. If you really want to fight bravely, it will be useless "Although Song Tianxiong does not belong to the martial arts, he has a deep relationship with the great sect in the northern martial arts——Daxiangguo Temple, so he knows the real situation of the Jianghu sect very well.
"Look, although there are a lot of people dressed up in the martial arts coming and going, many of them are just small characters in gang costumes. In fact, most of them are here to cheer and cheer. The status of the recruits in the industry is similar, nothing more than a little bit more disciplined, and you can practice martial arts in your spare time. After all, you have to eat before you can talk about other things. Without an economic foundation, how can you talk about other ideas? And often these small and medium-sized What sects lack the most is economic foundation, which greatly limits the development of these small and medium sects. For sects whose economic foundation can be guaranteed, if there are one or two more capable leaders in the sect, after a period of development If you grow stronger, then this sect is very likely to develop into a big sect, and when you become a big sect, your influence will expand, and you will often be able to obtain wider sources of income." Song Tianxiong's words reflect the real situation within the Jianghu sect The analysis is very thorough, obviously it has been specially studied.
"Oh, so that's the case. It seems that this superficially glamorous martial arts sect actually has so many unspeakable difficulties!" Wu Feng said with deep emotion.
"That's right, my lord, there are not a few sects in the martial arts that disappear due to economic reasons. When you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for the disciples under your own name, how can you expect him to get up early every day and practice martial arts late at night, for the sake of the sect?" What about the struggle for profit?" Song Tianxiong's words indeed revealed a truth that has never changed through the ages, there is nothing without an economic foundation.
Yes, if you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, then how can you make them serve you loyally? This is certainly the case for sects in the Jianghu sect, so why not for a government? Without an economic foundation and unable to pay wages, government officials still cannot live. The army that maintains the regime will collapse, and the regime will collapse. Therefore, it is true that development is the last word. Only with development and strong financial support can you form a stronger army~IndoMTL.com~ and you can use this stronger army to obtain more benefits. This is a process that complements each other, but how to seize The balance point in the middle is where the ability of a leader is tested.
Reminiscent of the situation in the Northwest and Northern Luzon, Wufeng was deeply moved. The information from Gu Ji showed that the power of the Taiping Sect had shown explosive growth, especially in the Kansai region. Outside the Lujiang Mansion, the Taiping Sect is developing very rapidly in other prefectures, and intelligence shows that there may be foreign forces intervening. The situation in Beiyuan and Yanyun Counties is even more worrying. In many places, the Taiping Sect members have even negotiated with the local government. This phenomenon has not yet attracted the attention of the internal affairs department of the empire. Wufeng is a little surprised why Lu Wenfu, who has always been shrewd, made such a big mistake in this regard.
However, Wufeng did not intend to disclose this information to the internal affairs department of the empire. He knew that even if he disclosed it to the internal affairs department of the empire, it would not be able to prevent the turmoil from happening. I can keep the peaceful situation longer so that I can have more time to accumulate strength. The power I can control now is really not enough to fight a big battle that may affect the entire empire. Even if I can, It is also possible to consume too much of your own strength, which is not in your own interest. Wufeng hopes that the war will come when he is more fully prepared. At that time, he who has enough strength may be able to grab greater benefits in the upcoming turmoil.
Seeing Wufeng standing there silent, Song Tianxiong was a little strange. He didn't expect that his words would trigger so many fantasies of his master. alert.
