Section 68 Martial Arts

The main nominal organizer of the Wu Yu Examination is the Imperial Interior Administration, but the implementation of many specific tasks is mostly completed by the Central Plains Association Hall, which is closely related to the Imperial Royal Family, such as the construction of facilities, invitations to various sects in the martial arts world, the proposal and modification of the competition rules and selection system, and the organization and implementation of the entire competition process are mostly invited by the Central Plains Association Hall or the Central Plains Association Hall to hire well-known people in the martial arts world to be executed.

The internal affairs department of the empire is mainly responsible for the qualification review of participants and referees to prevent people with bad intentions or just filling in. However, since Wu Yushi even attaches great importance to His Majesty the Emperor, both participants from various places and those invited by the Central Plains Association to serve as referees and organizations are basically competent, and there has been no obvious favoritism and fraud in many years.

When Wufeng brought Qin Gu and Song Tianxiong to the Western Conference, it was already crowded and bustling. In addition to some people from martial arts, more people were the people who like martial arts in the imperial capital. This was also the original intention of the imperial court to hold the martial arts examination, which was to arouse the people's spirit of martial arts and encourage them to be loyal to the empire and sell them to the imperial family after learning. This sentence is probably the purpose of the Wu imperial examination.

Wufeng is still a little unfamiliar with all this. Martial Artsmen with different clothes and unique logos walk past each other from time to time, and most of them hang swords and swords. This day, you can probably carry these weapons that are usually restricted. However, you can see the police officers of the Imperial Capital Police Station and those spies in plain clothes anytime and anywhere in the field. In order to have an accident, you can even specially station a unit of city guards near the field and stay on standby at any time, just in case.

The two girls of Qin and Gu seemed very enthusiastic about the annual Wu Yu Examination. They walked into the competition and searched everywhere to see if they could see the appearance of people in their sects. Even Song Tianxiong, who had always been calm, could not control his excitement. Although there was no big change in expression on his face, his hot eyes exposed his thoughts. All of this was seen by Wufeng, which deepened Wufeng's curiosity about the martial arts world in the world.

"Tianxiong, will you Daxiangguo Temple participate in this Wu Yu Examination?" Seeing that the two girls were overwhelmed and they had no choice but to turn their partner into Song Tianxiong who had been following him.

Although Song Tian's chest was also looking around, he found that he had agreed to travel in plain clothes in the morning without bringing a guard. The crowds of people in the martial arts world were crowded, and most of the people in the martial arts world were equipped with weapons. This was a huge threat to the safety of adults. He had only one person, and the two women were all focused on other things. It was a difficult problem to protect Wufeng's safety.

"Sir, I think we'd better go back. It's too messy and it's really unsafe." Song Tianxiong answered nervously while looking around at the surrounding situation.

"It's nothing to do. We are all dressed up. No one will know us. And there are so many guards around, who will do what here?" Wufeng replied with a relaxed expression.

"No, sir, I'm responsible for your safety. It's really not safe here. Either we go back or you go there." The more Song Tianxiong thought about it, the more unsafe he felt. He wanted Wufeng to go to the VIP seat there. The VIP seat was located in a special area in front of each high platform, and a special place was specially marked for the imperial officials and nobles who had the status of an earl and above. Tea tables and chairs were placed, and they were also isolated from the surroundings, and guards were patrolled.

But Wufeng didn't want to reveal his identity at first. He just wanted to watch the game as an ordinary person, so he would disguise himself. However, if he disguised himself as an ordinary person but had a large number of guards who were not good at concealing his identity as a soldier, it would definitely attract the attention of the internal affairs department staff responsible for the inspection, and then disguised him was meaningless, so Wufeng firmly rejected Song Tianxiong's request, and Song Tianxiong did not insist anymore.

"Tianxiong, you're too worried. It's not 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 attracted his attention. "Hey, Tianxiong, look at which sect belongs to?"

Seeing Wufeng's stubbornness, Song Tianxiong had to pray in his heart that there would be no trouble. At the same time, he also greeted the two girls, asking them to be more vigilant and pay attention to the movements around him. "Sir, what do you think? It seems to be the Eagle Claw Gate belonging to Huaiyang Mansion. You see, the weapons they carry are a bit special. They all have a long chain iron eagle claw. It is said that their iron eagle claws are made of fine iron, and there are mechanisms inside. If they are activated with internal force, they can suddenly cause hidden weapons, which is hard to defend against. They are just as powerful weapons."

Wufeng looked carefully and found that the disciple dressed in one color had a bulging loose cloth wrapped around his waist. A chain handle on the door was leaking out, which happened to be the most convenient position for hand to hold. It was obviously carefully designed. Although the first one was a little old, he still looked very energetic and extraordinary.

Seeing Wufeng paying attention to the old man, Song Tianxiong hurriedly introduced: "The old man is the leader of the Eagle Claw Sect. Wang Tianlie, known as the "Eagle Claw King", not only has an iron eagle claw that is superb, but the most powerful one is his hands. His Hunyuan Eagle Claw skills have reached the pinnacle, and the stone cracking monument is invincible. It is really a unique skill in foreign hard qigong."

Seeing that Song Tianxiong knew so thoroughly, Wufeng couldn't help but feel surprised, "Tianxiong, you will know this old man so clearly. Could it be that there is anything to do with it?"

"My jokingly, Tianxiong would not have anything to do with them. However, although this Eagle Claw Gate is located in Donghai County, it has always been closely related to the martial arts world in the north. When I was still learning art with my master, I followed my master to visit the gate. However, it was already a matter of the New Year, so they probably had no impression of it at all." Song Tianxiong replied with a smile.

"Tianxiong, how many sects are there in this imperial martial arts world? I think there are at least 30,000 people in this competition. Except for the people in the capital, I think there are at least more than 10,000 people in the martial arts world. It seems that the imperial martial arts world is really full of talents." Wufeng walked around with interest while watching everywhere.

"Sir, you have misunderstood. In fact, there are not many real masters in Jianghu Gang or Wulin Sect. Except for some sects with deep roots and large scale, there are very few martial arts masters in some other small and medium-sized sects, and most of them are ordinary disciples. But after practicing the martial arts of this sect, most of them can only be said to be good for strengthening the body. If you really want to show off your strength and win, then it will be useless." Although Song Tianxiong is not a martial arts world, he has a deep connection with the big sect in the northern martial arts world, Daxiangguo Temple, so he has a very good understanding of the real situation of Jianghu Sect.

"You see, although there are many people in the martial arts world dressed up, many of them are just small characters wearing gang costumes. In fact, most of them come to cheer. They usually work and do odd jobs in the sect, and the status of recruiters in many industries is similar. They are nothing more disciplined and can practice martial arts in their spare time. After all, you have to have enough food to talk about other things. Without an economic foundation, how can you talk about other ideas? Often, what these small and medium-sized sects lack the most is the economic foundation.

This greatly restricts the development of these small and medium-sized sects and can be guaranteed for economic foundation. If there are one or two more capable leaders in the sect who develop and grow over a period of time, then this sect is likely to develop into a large sect. When you become a large sect, your influence will often increase and you may gain a wider source of economic resources." Song Tianxiong's words analyzed the real situation within the Jianghu sects very thoroughly, and obviously he has studied it specifically.

"Oh, so that's the case. It seems that this martial arts sect, which looks extremely glorious, actually has so many unspeakable difficulties!" Wu Feng said deeply with emotion.

"Yes, sir, there are many people in this sect that have disappeared due to economic reasons. When you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for your disciples under your name, how can you expect him to get up early and go to bed late every day to practice martial arts, and sacrifice his life for the benefit of the sect?" Song Tianxiong's words indeed revealed a truth that will last forever. Without an economic foundation, there is nothing.

Yes, if you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, how can you let them serve you loyally? Although this is true in the sects of the world, isn't a government the same? Without an economic foundation and cannot afford pay, government officials can still not live. The army that maintains the operation of the regime will only collapse, and the regime institutions will only collapse, so the saying that development is the hard truth is true. Only with development and with strong financial support can you form a stronger army and gain more benefits with this stronger army. This is a complementary process, but how to grasp the balance point in the middle is where a leader can lie.

Recalling the situation in the northwest and Northern Luzon, Wufeng was deeply touched. The information from Guji showed that the power of the Taiping Cult had shown explosive growth, especially in the Kansai area. The information reflected that the development of the Taiping Cult in other prefectures was extremely rapid, and the intelligence showed that there might be foreign forces intervening. The situation in Beiyuan and Yanyun counties was even more heartbreaking. People from many places in Taiping Cult have even had close friends with local officials. This phenomenon has not yet attracted the attention of the imperial internal affairs department. Wufeng was really strange. Why did Lu Wenfu, who had always been smart, make such a big mistake in this regard.

However, Wufeng had no intention of revealing this information to the internal affairs department of the empire. He knew that even if it was disclosed to the internal affairs department of the empire, it could no longer stop the unrest, but it would be possible to accelerate the unrest. He hoped that the Empire and the Taiping Cult could maintain the peace for a longer time so that he could have more time to accumulate strength. The power he could control now was not enough to fight a major battle that could affect the entire empire. Even if he could, it might consume too much of his strength, which was not in his own interests. Wufeng hoped that the war could come when he was more prepared. At that time, he who had enough strength might be able to gain greater benefits in the upcoming unrest.

Seeing Wufeng standing there silently, Song Tianxiong was a little surprised. He did not expect that his words would trigger so many thoughts from his master, but he was so sophisticated that he did not alarm Wufeng, but just stood aside and silently alerted.
