Chapter 128 Warrior Guild

Bai Yujing.

Bai Changying, the famous master of Baihe Martial Arts School in the capital, felt a little awkward sitting on the stool.

Next to him was his wife Liang Lu.

She was adorned with gold and silver, and looked extremely wealthy. She also had a very voluptuous figure, and exuded a gentle beauty.

Back then, Liang Lu was also a fearless man who met him when he was alone in the world.

The two of them wandered around together, and their relationship grew better and better.

However, in the end, Bai Changying was nearly killed during a conflict, so he had to quit the martial arts world and came to the capital to open a martial arts school.

Liang Lu also transformed from a wandering female knight into the owner of the Baihe Martial Arts School, managing a large number of disciples and their families.

Twenty years ago, his daughter Bai Feihe was born. She was very cute and had good talents. She inherited the Eagle Claw Skill and internal energy skills from her ancestor Bai Changying.

Her progress in internal strength is no less than that of her two brothers.

But what he didn't expect was that three years ago, when the emperor held a beauty contest, his daughter was chosen as a concubine. Once she entered the imperial palace, she became the emperor's woman and was even decreed to be named a noble lady.

This is smoke coming out of your ancestral grave!
On the other side sat Bai Changying’s two sons, Bai Feihu and Bai Feixiong.

Both of them inherited the body shape and appearance of the white eagle, they were burly and resolute, sitting there like two wild beasts.

In the past few years, thanks to his daughter Bai Feihe, he escaped the disaster of Yang Xiang's rebellion, which made the Baihe Martial Arts School develop rapidly and is almost recognized as the best martial arts school in the capital!

Three months ago, Bai Changying, who was nearly fifty years old, for some unknown reason, managed to break through to the Grandmaster level by chance!

This is a big deal for the entire martial arts circle in the capital.

A martial artist at the Grandmaster level is capable of establishing a school of martial arts.

Bai Changying, on the other hand, opened a martial arts school in the capital city relying on his mastery of Eagle Claw Kung Fu, which attracted many apprentices to come and learn.

Especially the dignitaries in the capital, many of them were trying their best to get into the Baihe Martial Arts School.

I don’t know if it’s to learn martial arts or to curry favor with certain people?
Bai Feihu and Bai Feixiong have also entered the first-grade realm and are well-known in the entire Beijing martial arts circle.

Next to them sat the owners of several other martial arts schools in the capital.

His martial arts skills are only one step away from the Grandmaster level.

King Kong Martial Arts School.

The owner of the hall, Xiong Bin, was rumored to be a martial monk from a large southern temple. He was born with supernatural powers and was able to uproot weeping willows. In terms of pure strength, even Bai Changying was no match for him.

Red Snake Martial Arts School.

The owner of the hall, Xu Bo, is good at the Golden Snake Silk Hand and Shadow Snake Kick. His moves are feminine and treacherous. He is also good at poison. He is a vindictive person and has offended countless people.

Hung Gar Martial Arts School.

The owner of the hall, Hong Zhennan, is good at Hung Gar and close combat. All his disciples are peddlers and gang members. He is mature, good at changing with the times and has a very calm mind.

Double sword martial arts school.

Yu Shuangdao from the martial arts hall is good at using willow-leaf twin swords, and his swordsmanship is extremely superb. Two years ago, he once went into Binzhou alone with twin swords to block the Wu cavalry. He killed 39 of them and was able to escape unscathed. You can imagine how superb his swordsmanship is.

There were several other people who were all the famous martial arts gym owners in the capital, and their martial arts skills were all above the first level.

For some unknown reason, a few days ago, all the owners of the top martial arts schools in the capital received invitations to come here for a meeting on October 1st.

When they saw the scheduled location, all the martial arts gym owners were shocked.

The Imperial Palace, Baiyujing!

This is...an invitation from the current emperor to them!

It caused a sensation at the time. The emperor invited warriors to dinner. This was the first time in more than 300 years since the founding of Dayu!

I don’t know how big a sensation this caused, and how many people were secretly guessing the emperor’s intentions today.

Many people went to Baihe Martial Arts School every day to ask what had happened.

Bai Changying was also confused.

Although he is the father-in-law of the current emperor, he is only addressed as such by his own people when they drink in private. Is he stupid enough to shout everywhere that he is the father-in-law of the emperor?
Itchy neck?

Besides, his daughter was just a noble lady in the palace, and she had only returned home twice in three years, and His Majesty had only visited her three or four times.

In the palace, he was also unhappy.

As the father-in-law of the emperor, his life is really depressing.

During this period, His Majesty suddenly wanted to host a banquet for the owners of martial arts schools in the capital, which almost caused his White Crane Martial Arts School to be trampled to the ground.

There are more people coming than when he broke through to the Grandmaster level!

The key point is... he doesn't know what happened!
And today is the day when His Majesty will host a banquet.

Besides him, all other martial arts school owners could only come alone, which was extremely miserable.

"Master Bai, Mr. Bai, it's time for you to speak now!"

Hong Zhennan, who had a ruddy face and a plump figure, came over with a wine glass in his hand and whispered, "Before His Majesty comes, you have to inform the brothers."

"Your Majesty, what is the important matter that you are inviting us to today?"

Bai Changying smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hong, I really don't know!"

"Like you, this is also the first time I have received an invitation from His Majesty."

"Haha, it seems that Master Bai doesn't consider us brothers."

Xu Bo said sarcastically, "That's right. He is now the father-in-law of the emperor. How can he look down on us common people?"

Hong Zhennan frowned and said, "Master Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? We are all in the same sect, and we have all received invitations from His Majesty. Is it appropriate for you to say this?"

The bear beside him drank the wine in big gulps and muttered, "Old poisonous snake, stop yelling here!"

"This is the Imperial Palace, not your Red Snake Martial Arts School! If we offend His Majesty later, we will all be punished with your punishment~!"

Yu Shuangdao's two swords were confiscated. How could he be allowed to carry swords when meeting the emperor?

Without his two swords, Yu Shuangdao felt uncomfortable and could only cross his arms and said, "What Lao Xiong said makes sense. Master Xu, please don't say anything later."

"Your Majesty's banquet today, I think it has something to do with the rumors circulated among the ministers a few days ago."

"Are you talking about the... military ban proposed by General Xu?"

"Ah."

"How is that possible!"

"There are so many warriors in the capital, does the court still want to drive everyone out?"

"I just think it's possible that I'm qualified, but I don't know the details."

"Haven't you noticed that there has been no movement in the General's Mansion these past few days? Perhaps the resistance they encountered was too great and they were forced to stop..."

"I don't know. If a martial arts ban is really issued, our martial arts school's business will plummet!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? My double sword martial arts school's business will definitely plummet. How could the business of you boxing, palm training, and leg training schools drop? Just be happy..." "Hehehe..."

The corner of Xu Bo's mouth twitched. Now no one was paying attention to him. He had no choice but to take a big gulp of the wine in front of him.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Who knew that this fine wine in the palace was a strong liquor specially made by the Ministry of Works at the request of Zheng Yi? After taking a sip, Xu Bo choked and kept coughing, his face turning red.

While many warriors were still discussing, a sharp voice came quickly from far away.

"His Majesty has arrived~!!!"

Several people stood up quickly, and soon they saw a group of people coming out of the attic.

The young man in the lead walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, wore a dragon robe, had bright eyes and an imposing aura, wasn't he the current emperor, Emperor Zhengyong!

Next to him was a beautiful lady in palace dress, tall and heroic.

More than ten people quickly lined up on the open space and paid their respects together.

"We, the common people, have greeted Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and long!"

Zheng Yi came to the main seat, stretched out his hand and said, "All heroes, please stand up and take your seats."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

More than ten people stood up, and many of them subconsciously looked forward, wanting to see his majesty's appearance clearly.

They completely forgot the etiquette that Liu Chengen taught them when they entered the palace.

"He'er!"

Suddenly, Liang Lu beside Bai Changying exclaimed, and He Guiren beside Zheng Yi also stood up quickly.

"Mom~!"

"younger sister!"

Bai Feihu and Bai Feixiong also discovered that the familiar-looking beauty in palace dress was actually their sister!

Beside Zheng Yi was Bai Changying's daughter Bai Feihe, who came to accompany him today at Zheng Yi's order.

Unexpectedly, the people he met turned out to be his parents and two brothers.

"Your Majesty~"

Bai Feihe's beautiful face was full of pleading. Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Go ahead and have a good chat with your mother."

“Yes~!”

Bai Feihe immediately stood up like a flying bird, came to Liang Lu, and subconsciously grabbed her with both hands.

"Mother~"

"He'er~"

"Mom, come with me. He'er will take you to appreciate Baiyujing~"

"it is good."

The two women quietly walked into Baiyujing, leaving only a group of men.

"Play music, dance~!"

At Liu Chengen's command, teams of dancers swam out from both sides of Baiyujing and performed the dance specially trained by the Jiaofangsi.

More than thirty enchanting dancers danced gracefully, like colorful butterflies flying or phoenixes circling, and the dozen or so khans stared at them.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi smiled slightly.

When the song ended, he immediately raised the wine glass in front of him and said:
"My fellow heroes, I also have a heart for martial arts. It is a great honor to host a banquet for you all today."

"Please drink this cup to the full."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

More than a dozen warriors also quickly picked up their wine glasses and drank.

These wines are strong liquors specially selected by Zheng Yi and they are high in alcohol.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the banquet finally picked up.

Especially after they danced a few more dances, the atmosphere became even more lively. Some warriors even shouted that they wanted to dance a dance, but were pulled down by others.

Concubine He and her mother had already returned and were keeping him company.

At this time, Zheng Yi raised his glass again and said, "My fellow heroes, I am inviting you to a banquet today because I have something important to discuss with you."

More than a dozen museum owners were immediately startled, knowing that serious matters were about to begin, and they quickly mobilized their internal energy to suppress the alcohol in their bodies.

Zheng Yi said: "Dayu has been established for more than 300 years. Although the national strength is prosperous, there are foreign tribes outside and treacherous ministers in power. Although I am not talented, with the assistance of many righteous men, I have stopped the foreign tribes and suppressed the bandits inside, and returned Dayu to a bright and sunny day."

"But... to this day, our Dayu is still in turmoil, death, and constant natural and man-made disasters."

"Even at the feet of the emperor, in the capital, there were frequent murders and fights."

As Zheng Yi spoke, the expressions of more than ten museum owners also became slightly ugly.

Let them guess, could it really be... a weapons ban?

"so!"

Zheng Yi immediately said: "I plan to issue a military ban next month to ban all disobedient martial arts in the capital!"

"At today's banquet, I hope to get the help of all the heroes to jointly maintain the stability of the capital!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen museum owners fell silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Father-in-law."

Zheng Yi suddenly said, "You are my father-in-law. I have not hidden anything from you. Please tell me what you think."

"This……"

Under the gaze of more than ten pairs of eyes, Bai Changying had to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, it is natural for warriors to carry swords. It is impossible to completely stop it."

"Furthermore, once this martial arts ban is issued, it is likely to cause unrest among many martial artists..."

Zheng Yi said: "I have also considered this matter, so the 'weapon ban' I issued is not a complete ban, but a selective ban!"

"And once the martial arts ban is issued, it will also be beneficial to your martial arts schools!"

"His Majesty?"

"The martial arts ban has been issued. Any martial artist who wants to set up a martial arts school must go to the Martial Arts Department to register and take assessments."

Zheng Yi said succinctly: "I also plan to establish a 'Warrior Guild' to govern martial arts with martial arts, and you will be the first batch of deacons of the Warrior Guild, and you can obtain corresponding rights!"

"The Martial Arts Department, the Martial Arts Guild, and the Martial Arts Association should be in a three-way balance, and manage the martial arts in a reasonable, legal and compliant manner, and slowly lead the martial arts to serve our Dayu, instead of simply fighting bravely and violently, wasting their best years, or even losing their lives!"

"What do you think?"
