"General Li, the city lord has an order to let his chief officer enter the city!"
Just as the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides was tense, the soldiers sent by Li Jun to ask for instructions came back.
"Heh... General, you have also heard the order from my city lord. You can go in alone."
At the gate of the city, Li Jun glanced at Liu Yuan with a proud smile, then turned slightly to make way for a person wide passage and said.
Looking at Li Jun's proud smile, Liu Yuan showed a look of reluctance. He didn't expect that they would fall short before entering the city gate. Thanks to them, they had stopped and covered up their whereabouts and rushed all the way, but in the end they couldn't even enter Yangzhou City.
Originally, according to their plan, they would hide in the early stage, and then make a big splash to make a big noise after entering Yangzhou City to establish the established fact. Even if Chen Fan refused in the end, they could still make a big fuss by entering Yangzhou City to announce the decree.
It's a pity to meet such a person who is not afraid of death.
"Please, why bother? Wait for me to carry the sedan for you."
Seeing Liu Yuan not moving for a long time, Li Jun raised his head impatiently and urged.
Li Jun was naturally unaware of the plans behind Liu Yuan and others, but this did not prevent him from fulfilling his duties faithfully. All foreign forces entering the city without prior communication would be intercepted.
In the City Lord's Mansion, compared to Li Jun who didn't know the stakes but did the right thing, Chen Fan guessed the martial arts supreme's sinister intentions immediately.
Their purpose is very simple, which is to let the world know that the martial arts supremes in Yangzhou City can come to announce their decrees at any time.
Innately, Yangzhou City is defined as under the rule of the Supreme Wulin.
Righteousness sometimes comes like this.
Whether it actually has any effect is another matter, but it should be done.
Even if you are deceiving yourself, you still have to behave appropriately.
Because as long as he entered Yangzhou City, unless Chen Fan cruelly killed them all and completely fell out with the martial arts supreme, there would be no way to avoid rumors.
Throughout history, many monarchs began to appoint local officials before defeating their enemies and obtaining their territory. For example, "appointing someone the governor of Yangzhou, and since they have not actually succeeded, they will temporarily take it remotely."
What for? Isn't it just to first determine the righteousness of subordinate occupation?
When it comes to characterization and definition, these politicians are the best at it.
......
Castle lord.
Liu Yuan was guided by his servants and walked all the way into the side hall.
"Liu Yuan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, has met City Master Chen."
Facing Chen Fan, Liu Yuan completely lost the arrogance he had at the city gate before, and respectfully saluted Chen Fan with clasped fists.
"Let's take a look at the so-called imperial edict. I am quite curious. What is written in it?"
Chen Fan, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, glanced at Liu Yuan who entered the hall with indifferent eyes. He was a little shrimp in the innate realm.
He was not in the mood to embarrass the other party, so he took the lead and gave him the order.
"Yes, City Lord Chen."
Liu Yuan was very knowledgeable and without any hesitation, he quickly handed over the imperial edict in his hand respectfully.
After being handed over by the servant in the palace, Chen Fan took it and looked at it casually.
"Destroy the tyrants and make them king of Yangzhou. Ha, interesting!"
After reading this, Chen Fan's originally cold face suddenly smiled. This martial arts master really dared to think.
Using something that belongs to him to consecrate himself, does he think his false reputation is valuable?
He just wants to take himself under his command and fight for him just by giving him a false name.
A white wolf with empty gloves, doing business without capital, this is actually a bang bang sound.
What's even more ridiculous is that the so-called throne requires Chen Fan to conquer the tyrants before he can get it? It's a shame he figured it out.
"Go back and tell your self-satisfied martial arts supreme that he wants me to take action against Xiong Ba and use his martial arts secrets to kill everyone from all directions. Otherwise, let alone Xiong Ba, what he is most worried about will happen soon."
Chen Fan knew very well why the Supreme Martial Arts Master came to issue an edict at this critical moment.
Is it simply to occupy Yangzhou Dayi, or to defeat Xiong Ba? No, they actually wanted to cut off the retreat of the Ming royal family.
At the critical moment of the struggle for legal authority, the Ming royal family was weak.
Compared with the righteousness and hegemony that occupy a city in Yangzhou, it is obvious that what the Supreme Martial Arts values most is the name of orthodox righteousness. In his eyes, the most important thing is to defeat the Ming Dynasty royal family and become the only orthodox in the world.
The real purpose of their coming to Yangzhou at this time was also to prevent Chen Fan from siding with the Ming Dynasty royal family in this crucial battle.
As for why they have such strange thoughts, it is simply because among the top forces in the world today, only Chen Fan from Yangzhou City was born in his ancestral land and is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
To nip things in the bud, they had to think like this.
Liu Yuan left just as quickly as he came.
He returned home before it was time for a cup of tea.
"The people from the Martial Arts Supreme are here, and the Ming royal family is definitely not far away. The dispute between the two parties seems to have become intense."
In the side hall, looking at Liu Yuan's retreating figure, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir, if the Martial Arts Supreme agrees to your terms, will you really go to attack Xiongba?"
Bai Xiaosheng, who had his head lowered after being scolded by Chen Fan in the side hall, couldn't help but asked curiously.
“Go, it’s both disgusting and beneficial to the tyrants, so why not go?
It's just that we went there in the name of saving the world and eliminating harm in the martial arts world, not as subordinates of the supreme martial arts master. "
....
The breeze blows the fallen leaves, and the sun and the moon turn around.
Only three days after Liu Yuan left, as Chen Fan expected, the Ming royal family also sent someone, a marquis who had retired from the country.
He is more sensible than the martial arts supreme, and he does not maintain his position. He has no imperial edict, only private meetings.
First there was a flurry of emotional cards, saying that they came from the same ancestral land and were citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and then they made conditions. They were similar to the Wulin Supreme, and they also had the same throne.
Perhaps the Ming Dynasty just couldn't hold on any longer. This throne was more valuable and more noble than the King of Yangzhou, the King of Wu.
Emotions are definitely useless to Chen Fan, and the same goes for the king's false reputation.
Chen Fan made one request: only one-third of the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry could make guns.
Not an hour later, the Marquis, who had retired from his country, left, looking very ugly when he left.
Because the one-third craftsman Chen Fan mentioned was just the price he paid for not helping the martial arts supreme to deal with the Ming royal family.
If Chen Fan wants Chen Fan to help the Ming Dynasty royal family deal with the martial arts supreme, he needs to divide the river and rule with the Ming Dynasty and share the world.
The Marquis was very angry, thinking that Chen Fan was taking advantage of the situation, had wishful thinking, and had no sincerity in cooperation at all, and was treating them like monkeys.
Chen Fan didn't care at all about the Marquis who left in anger, because he had no intention of helping the Ming royal family.
Chen Fan had already seen the outcome of the dispute between the Supreme Martial Arts Master and the Ming Dynasty Royal Family from the very beginning.
The Ming royal family had no hope of winning at all.
To be honest, Chen Fan was very surprised that the Ming royal family could persist until now.
I thought it was supposed to be a devastating conquest by the Supreme Martial Arts Master, but I didn’t want to be delayed until now by the Ming Dynasty royal family using guns and cannons.
It can also be seen from this that as long as the martial arts is not high enough, guns and artillery are still good deterrents.
....
Time flies, half a month later.
The supreme martial artist came to visit again.
But this time they were more sensible and kept a low profile.
The Supreme Martial Arts Master agreed to Chen Fan's request, and also sent him the secret skill of "Kill in All Directions".
Chen Fan, a master of martial arts who had longed for him, was delighted and immediately agreed to join the crusade against the scum of the world, the blood-handed demon tyrant.
As for not helping the Ming royal family, there is no need to say it clearly. Everyone knows it well, and the time is basically the same. After going to conquer the Xiongba, naturally there is no time to help the Ming royal family.
"City Lord, the martial arts supreme master is very proud this time. He actually sent the martial arts secrets here first, and he is not afraid of us going back on our word."
When the martial arts supreme leader retreated, Bai Xiaosheng, who was by his side throughout the whole process, couldn't help but sigh at the martial arts supreme leader's heroic spirit this time.
After all, it is common sense to do things first and pay later. It is really rare for a martial arts supreme to actually "pay" first.
"Oh, this is strength and confidence. Otherwise, where would the pride come from?"
Chen Fan picked up the "Kill in All Directions" sent by the Supreme Martial Arts Master and replied while watching and pondering.
"Oh? Is it possible that this martial arts supreme has very high martial arts skills and is very scary?" Bai Xiaosheng asked in surprise.
"The martial arts supreme is not scary, but the people behind him are scary."
After hearing Bai Xiaosheng's question, Chen Fan couldn't help but put down his secret skill and raised his head to look outside the hall, his eyes a little complicated.
The person behind the martial arts supreme is a terrifying figure who can't even defeat Duan Lang who has eaten the Double Dragon Yuan.
He is the brother of Wuchang, the supreme martial arts king, Emperor Wenlong.
In his early years, he was taught the skills by Wu Wudi, a top ten martial artist, and learned the top ten martial arts. His skills are profound and his strength is terrifying. He can be ranked among the top five in Fengyun World's master rankings.
With the support of such a terrifying figure, the Martial Arts Supreme naturally has the confidence not to be afraid of him, Chen Fan, breaking out of the contract.
.....
Outside the hall, a gust of wind came out of nowhere.
Bai Xiaosheng stepped back, and Chen Fan, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the "Kill in All Directions" secret book in his hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously.
In fact, Chen Fan plotted against Emperor Wenlong this time.
When he asked the martial arts supreme to "kill everyone in all directions", the first thing he wanted to do was to confirm whether Emperor Wenlong was born at this time of change like Emperor Shitian.
So that you have a good idea and plan for what to do next.
The second one is to obtain the unique martial arts skill of "Kill in All Directions".
He asked Liu Yuan to bring a message to the Supreme Martial Arts Master. Well, it was actually for Emperor Wenlong, saying that he was the successor of the Xuanwu True Kung Fu and was guided by others to acquire the unique martial arts skill of "Killing in All Directions".
If Emperor Wenlong was really born, he would definitely think that Chen Fan was his junior brother. After all, there was no other person present when Wu Wudi taught him martial arts. He would naturally think that Chen Fan was guided by Wu Wudi.
In this way, Emperor Wenlong would not be angry and refuse Chen Fan's lion mouth.
After all, spreading martial arts to outsiders and passing it on to fellow disciples are two different things.
.....
Huangtupo is said to be the place where foreigners who were conquered by the Yellow Emperor stayed.
At this time, with tents lined up and banners flying, it has become a gathering place for many top forces in the world to fight against the tyrants.
"Hey, old monk, I heard a strange thing. A person you Shaolin calls a devil is coming to attack the devil Xiongba.
You say, this devil's crusade against the devil is ridiculous or not, ridiculous or not. Hahaha..."
In a huge tent, when the leaders of several major forces gathered together to discuss the crusade against Xiong Ba, suddenly, the Lord of Wushuang City, Dugu Yifang, raised his eyebrows and was full of teasing at the Shaolin Master Shi Kong, who was constantly twiddling the beads in front of him. The way.
