Chapter 129: Riots in the Capital

Chapter 129: Riots in the Capital
November 2, the seventh year of the Zhengei era.

After more than two months of preparation, the Shangwu Division was finally established under the imperial edict of Emperor Zhengyong.

The difference is that the Shangwusi was not under the management of the Ministry of War. Instead, the Ministry of War sent people to transform the Gongfengyuan into the Shangwusi.

Its organization was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Marshal's Office and was controlled by Xu Mujun.

The Warrior Guild was also established on the same day.

Zhao Suling, a powerful Xiantian realm expert and ancestor of Taiyi Dao, served as the first president.

Yes, Zhao Suling also broke through the bottleneck and became a strong man in the innate realm!
He has resigned from the position of the head of Taiyi Dao and has become an elder of Taiyi Dao, with an extraordinary status.

In other words, there are already six pure innate realm powerhouses under Zheng Yi's command!

Zhao Suling is the president of the Warrior Guild, and the Grandmaster-level warrior Bai Changying is the vice-president. He also invites two other Grandmaster-level warriors to serve as vice-presidents.

He has seven deacons under his command, all of whom are martial arts masters or owners of martial arts schools who are famous and respected in the capital.

Their task is to manage conflicts or disputes between formal warriors.

There are even corresponding rewards for warriors to earn money.

At the same time, the Warrior Guild also has an assessment function to determine the strength of warriors and give different treatments and rewards accordingly.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"

"The world of Dayu belongs to the people. I have conquered the foreign tribes in the north and suppressed the refugees in the interior, all for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to have a place to rely on when they grow old."

"Therefore, a 'weapons ban' is hereby issued!"

"The law stipulates that all Dayu warriors must obey the ban on martial arts, otherwise they will be regarded as traitors, and any public official has the right to investigate!"

"Article 1 of the martial arts ban: All martial artists must register at the martial arts offices or martial arts associations in various places in the capital during March. Those who fail to register within the deadline are not allowed to stay in the capital."

"Article 2 of the Military Prohibition Order: Any warriors entering the capital, except registered warriors, are not allowed to carry swords or other weapons. Otherwise, they will be regarded as traitors and the officers and soldiers have the right to arrest them."

"Article 3 of the martial arts ban order: Anyone who wants to establish a martial arts school or sect must go to the Martial Arts Department to register and take an assessment. Only after obtaining a certificate can they establish a martial arts school or sect."

"Article 4 of the Military Prohibition Order: Register as a formal warrior and you can go to the Martial Arts Department to receive the corresponding salary every month."

"Article 5 of the Military Prohibition Order: Formal warriors can obtain corresponding military positions based on their martial arts cultivation."

"The sixth day of the weapons ban: ..."

There are more than ten items in total, enough for anyone to understand the orders recorded in the policy of the weapons ban.

When the contents of this imperial edict were posted on many notice boards in the capital and sent across the country through newspapers published by the Propaganda Department, people all over the country were discussing this matter.

Especially the capital!
This is where the weapons ban is dealt with first and most severely.

"A martial arts ban! Dayu is going to ban us martial artists!"

"Are you blind? Don't you see that you can get a salary after registering as a formal warrior? It's free money, it would be a waste if you don't take it!"

"That's right! And if you don't want to register, all you have to do is not wear a sword."

"I am a warrior! How can I not bring a sword? I might as well not stay in the capital!"

"Hiss... Warrior Guild? What is this for?"

"It is said to deal with problems between warriors, but it is limited to formal warriors."

"There are bounties for warriors in the Warrior Guild? Warriors can use these bounties to kill bandits or protect some important figures to make money?"

"Isn't this the escort agency?"

"What on earth does your majesty think?"

"You can't bring swords? That's really too much!"

"Let's go! The capital is not a place for us to stay."

"Hehe, you want to ban us? Do you really think that we, the martial artists, are made of clay?"

"Gather the men, let's do something big tonight!"

"After we're done, I'll take you to the south to have some fun!"

"Hahaha……"

"To establish a martial arts school, one must become a formal martial artist. One must also go to the Warrior Guild and the Shangwu Division to take assessments and obtain a license to open a martial arts school?"

"This is also a good thing. I don't have to challenge eighteen martial arts schools in a row..."

The issuance of the weapons ban did not cause much reaction in the entire Dayu.

After all, the emperor is far away and it will take a long time for the ban on weapons to spread to other places.

But under the feet of the emperor, inside the capital, a huge wave was set off.

There is a group of warriors who are accommodating and supportive of the implementation of the ban on weapons.

That is mainly composed of the sects that are vassals of the Dayu court and the warriors who make a living in the capital.

They were born into common families and practiced martial arts just to make a living.

Now, as long as you join the Martial Arts Department and become a formal warrior, you can get a fixed salary every month.

For them, it is undoubtedly an additional income.

However, a large number of warriors hold an attitude of resistance and disgust towards the ban on weapons.

Most of these warriors came from far away places and wanted to make a living in the capital.

Another part is the local underworld gangs, bandits, and even some experienced underworld people who have been in the underworld for a long time and are extremely disgusted with the imperial court.

They were unable to openly defy the imperial court's ban on weapons, so they secretly made an appointment to either leave the capital together or to make a big move before leaving!
Xihuamen.

This place is an office location of the Martial Arts Department after the ban on weapons was issued.

Zhao Xiaolou followed his fellow brothers in queuing up here, waiting for monitoring by the Shangwu Division.

He came from a poor family, and his family took great pains to send him to the Baihe Martial Arts School to learn martial arts.

Although he is not very talented, he is very hardworking.

After ten years of diligent and hard training, he finally improved his Eagle Claw Skill to the level of a third-grade warrior.

He can crack gold and split stones, which makes him a master.

However, he was honest and simple-minded and was willing to stay in Baihe Martial Arts School, teaching new disciples every day or sparring with other brothers.

My biggest wish is to secretly take a look at my senior sister when she practices martial arts every day.

Unfortunately, he hasn't seen much of his elder sister since she was summoned to the palace as a concubine three years ago.

Even so, he was unwilling to leave Baihe Martial Arts School and just waited there foolishly.

"Xiao Lou! Xiao Lou! What are you looking at? It's almost your turn!"

"Oh, big brother, I'm here."

Senior Brother Bai Feihu was calling him, so he hurried over and began to display his martial arts under the command of the people from the Shangwu Division.

Soon, he was rated as "third rank lower" and was given a bronze medal.

"Xiao Lou, you must hold on to this badge. It is your ID card."

"Starting from next month, you can come to the Shangwu Division to receive a salary of twenty taels of silver every month!"

"Twenty taels!" Zhao Xiaolou asked in surprise, "So much, what do you want me to do with it, Senior Brother?"

"Need not!"

Bai Feihu waved his hand and said, "This is the money given by my brother-in-law. It would be a waste if you don't take it!"

"Hahaha~"

"Big Brother, you dare to call His Majesty your brother-in-law, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out?"

"What are you afraid of? It's not like I didn't yell at you last time at the Bai Yujing family banquet!"

"Baiyujing! Senior Brother, can you please tell me if Baiyujing is really in the sky, like a fairyland?"

"I heard that the Baiyujing is full of fairies!"

Bai Feihu said proudly: "The Emperor's brother-in-law's Baiyujing is of course a fairyland. Even if it's not, it's almost there!"

"That place is really high, at least thirty or forty feet high!"

"There are also many palace maids dancing for us. They are like fairies, each one more beautiful than the other!"

The other brothers became anxious again: "Big Brother, tell me more, tell me more, how beautiful are they?"

"Prettier than the top performer at Yichunlou!"

"Wow~!"

Zhao Xiaolou quickly squeezed in front of Bai Feihu and asked, "Big Brother, Big Brother, have you seen Big Sister?"

"Feihe?"

Bai Feihu glanced at Zhao Xiaolou and said earnestly, "Xiaolou, Feihe is the emperor's woman, the emperor's concubine, forget it!"

"By the way, my sister Fei He is no longer Lady He, but Concubine He!"

"Be careful when you address me next time!"

"I understand, big brother~"

"Quick! Next one!"

"Wow~!"

"boom!"

"Ah...killing someone!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and faintly there were many people exclaiming.

When everyone ran out to take a look, they saw several people armed with swords fighting on the roof. It was a lively scene. Several vendors were overturned and several passers-by were injured, obviously injured by mistake.

"Feng Wuji! Twelve years ago you killed my entire family, you didn't expect that I would survive."

A young man roared, "I have practiced martial arts for twelve years just to kill you today!"

"Want to kill me? You'd better replace him with a brat! Brothers, kill him!"

"Suffer to death!"

"Come and die!"

Several people fought again, with flashes of swords and sabers, causing countless people to exclaim in surprise.

Bai Feihu frowned and said, "Feng Wuji? The leader of the Thirteen Heroes of Nanshan, I didn't expect that he would commit the crime of annihilating an entire family."

"And this kid, where did this fool come from? How dare he seek revenge in the capital..."

Sure enough, a group of soldiers came running over soon.

"Who dares to fight with weapons in the capital? Surrender immediately!"

"Court hawk?"

On the top of the tall building, the young man with the sword was obviously more skilled in martial arts, and three people had already been injured by his sword.

Not only were they not afraid of the Five Cities Army downstairs, but they drew their swords and fought against them.

On the other hand, Feng Wuji jumped down and said with a folded hand: "My Lords, we didn't fight with swords, but that guy was chasing us and we had to resist."

"Stop talking nonsense and take them all!"

Several officers and soldiers rushed up. Feng Wuji's mouth twitched, and his men were about to take action but were stopped by him.

On the contrary, it was the young knight on the tall building who, when he saw Feng Wu Ji being captured, a flash of hatred flashed across his eyes. He leaped down and killed Feng Wu Ji directly.

He slashed with the sword in his hand, and did not even take the Five Cities Army seriously.

"Be bold!"

With a loud shout, a figure rushed out from the crowd and attacked with both palms. Immediately, an extremely strong momentum surged, enveloping the young man's entire body.

"This kind of momentum... How could it be possible for a Grandmaster-level warrior to have such momentum!"

With a cry of surprise, the young knight quickly stepped forward to block the attack, but unfortunately, although his power was high, his internal strength was far inferior to that of the newcomer.

The long sword in his hand was also broken by this person's Eagle Claw Horizontal Refining Method. When a claw hit his body, he immediately felt the broken bones and tendons at the injured part, and the injury was serious.

"Qiang!"

"Qiang Qiang!"

The long knife was placed horizontally on the young man's neck.

Until then, the young man dared not move.

"Who are you? How dare you stop me from taking revenge? Aren't you afraid..."

"afraid?"

The visitor laughed and said, "This place is at the foot of heaven and earth. No matter how powerful your background is, can it be greater than His Majesty's?"

"Capture him and send him to prison!"

"Yes!"

A team of soldiers escorted the group away, and the leader came up to the man and said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Bai, for your help."

"It doesn't matter."

The man who came was Bai Changying. He said solemnly: "This place is an important place for the Shangwu Division and the Warrior Guild. How can we allow these people in the martial arts world to do whatever they want here?"

"Patrol this area with emphasis and make sure the weapons ban is properly implemented."

"promise!"

At the same time, similar scenes were happening in many places throughout the capital.

Grandmaster-level warriors from the Shadow Guards, Imperial Guards, and the military took action to suppress the unrest in the entire capital city caused by the ban on weapons.

At this moment, an old man with gloomy eyes and eagle eyes was staring at the direction of the palace.

"A martial arts ban? What does the Emperor of Dayu regard us martial artists as?"

"Hehehe...Since I've made a breakthrough, no one has tried out my sword yet. Why don't we go to the palace tonight and see for ourselves?"

"Xu Mujun... everyone in the world thinks you are the best in the world. I wonder if you can withstand a blow from me?"
