"It's a turbulent time!"

When he was about to enter Beijing, Guo Xu, the young leader of the Changfeng Escort Agency, sat on the horse and sighed.

The Changfeng Escort Agency established its home in the capital. It has been decades since then. Their old bureau leader has been dead for many years. Although Guo Xu is called the young bureau leader, he is actually the legitimate head of the Changfeng Escort Agency.

This time he was going to go to Bashu, but the journey was long, but halfway through, he actually received the imperial decree and ordered him to rush back to the capital today.

The emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and Guo Xu was unwilling to give up the Changfeng Escort Agency halfway, so he separated from the escort team and returned alone.

Unexpectedly, the closer you get to the capital along the way, the more solemn the atmosphere on the road becomes.

When he was about to enter Beijing, his family in the capital sent someone to greet him and told him about a major event that alarmed the martial arts world and shocked the court and the country.

Not long ago, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, went to visit Nan Shaolin, but was assassinated by a group of murderers in the Talin of the back mountain.

Almost all the masters of the Miao generation in Nan Shaolin died in this battle, and the other Qingshen members also suffered dozens of losses.

And Cao Zhengchun, the number one traitor in the minds of the people of the world, has been killed on the spot on that day.

"The local government office has already gone to investigate, but there is no trace of it. Nan Shaolin seems to be ready to seal the door and Xie Ke soon, and I will only ask about the martial arts affairs."

The one who said this was a young woman with simple clothes. She had a gentle temperament, but her eyes were firm. Although she did not use any makeup, she had a beautiful face. She was Cheng Caiyu, known as the "female Zhuge" in the Changfeng Escort Agency.

Guo Xu was unruly by nature and refused to take on the burden of the Changfeng Escort Agency a few years ago. At that time, Cheng Caiyu was taking care of everything inside and outside the Escort Agency.

Seriously speaking, the people in the escort agency were more convinced of this young lady.

Fortunately, Guo Xu is not a vulgar man, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the woman in charge of affairs. Instead, he trusts Cheng Caiyu more and more, and the two of them complement each other's affairs.

He asked: "The death of the Dongchang Supervisor. In addition to the local government office, such a major event will inevitably cause a stir in the capital. Nan Shaolin's vitality has just been greatly damaged, but it may not be able to cultivate as it wishes. Next, I am afraid that there will be another storm."

"Not necessarily, the court's attitude towards this matter is now very vague."

Cheng Caiyu knows martial arts, but he has a strong knowledge and masters the news channels in the escort agency industry. He can detect all kinds of changes between the black and white paths, saying, "About two months ago, there was a huge change hidden in the Forbidden City. After that, the court did not distinguish between good and evil, and directly issued an order to martial arts people from all sides, which was a trend of gathering masters from all over the world."

"There were originally mixed with fish and dragons in the capital, and now there are dragons and tigers, demons dancing around. People in the court who really have some means to deal with martial arts affairs have been busy dealing with these people recently, but they have no time to take care of the southern Shaolin side."

"It's actually like this?" Guo Xu looked in front of the city gate, turned over and dismounted, and led his horse into the city with Cheng Caiyu.

He said as he walked, "Cao Zhengchun made many enemies in his life. If he could not thoroughly investigate the matter at the beginning, if he delayed it for a long time, I am afraid that no one would have the intention to pursue it. The real cause of this generation of Quanxiu is finally to be fooled by the local government office to close the case."

"His death may not be a good thing, but it can't be a bad thing either." Cheng Caiyu said softly, "At least I can imagine how those who have been instructed by him to persecute or collude when they hear this news, they will cry with joy."

In the time of saying these words, they had already passed through the market area outside the city and truly entered the capital.

There is no need to say much about the prosperity of the capital, but in Guo Xu's eyes, who had been away for several months, he always felt that there were still many fewer pavers on both sides of the street than before, and the pedestrians on the road were not as dense as before.

Moreover, among these pedestrians, there were some people from the world who spoke with foreign accents, carrying swords and swords, and a group of Jinyiwei who disguised themselves as they deliberately showed their identities in their actions.

It is obvious that these unintentional disguises are intended to show some shocking meaning to those who act recklessly.

However, at the foot of the emperor, the staff of the Jinyiwei had to use this roundabout way to shock them. I don’t know if they should be said to be majestic or depressed.

The occasional hawking sounds heard on the street sounded a little more energetic, but actually a little anxious.

It seems that this situation has been maintained for a long time today. Even the most ordinary and profit-seeking hawkers have noticed the undercurrent and instinctively feel uneasy.

Guo Xu walked with his horse, looking at the six directions, counting silently in his heart. After walking for a while, he turned around and looked again, and his expression became a little subtle.

Cheng Caiyu knew what he was thinking, and got closer, saying, "Did you find that if all those special people were removed, the real pedestrians in the capital would have become very rare."

Guo Xu took a deep breath, nodded, and said slowly: "If you look at it that way, this street can be described as deserted."

As he was talking, his eyes suddenly moved slightly, and his eyes stuck to the group of people walking out of the teahouse.

The group of people were wearing blue and white Taoist robes and carrying long swords. The leader was tall and normal-shaped whisk. When he pinched his palms like palm fans, he looked particularly small and exquisite.

Guo Xu stared at the hands for a while, then turned his eyes to the feet of those people.

When ordinary people walk in a relaxed state, most of them put their heels on the ground first.

But all of these people raised their feet and fell down, and there was no intentional pause during their walking process. Ordinary people would not even notice something strange. They should have practiced this step to the core and become a habit.

"The footwork of Qingcheng Sect." Guo Xu said to Cheng Caiyu beside him, "The person in charge should be the leader of the Western Sichuan martial arts world, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect's generation, and Taoist Master Xushan."

Cheng Caiyu nodded: "Master Xushan pushed the Heli Jiuxiao magical skill that no one has practiced for hundreds of years in Qingcheng to a state of ten perfection. The heart-breaking palm in his hands is far superior to the ancestors of Qingcheng in all dynasties. He is the latest group of eight major sects, and he should have arrived today."

"The latest?" Guo Xu said in surprise, "You said that about two months ago, after a huge change, the court issued an order to all parties. Among the eight major sects, some were thousands of miles away from the capital. The people who announced the order came over and the people who received the order came over again, and they were all within two months?"

"This is the arrangement of the court. There are fast horses everywhere. Those who are far away can change five horses a day and go day and night, so there is naturally time." Cheng Caiyu said, "Why didn't the person who sent you or even mentioned this?"

"It's indeed mentioned." Guo Xu's eyes gradually deepened, and he said, "I thought it was just a restriction on idle people like me. Now it seems that there are time limits for all sects?"

“It’s not just a time limit, but also a status limit.”

Cheng Caiyuzhen turned his head lightly, looked around and saw something. He pulled Guo Xu's sleeve with one hand and pointed his other hand at the restaurant about fifty steps to the right side of the street.

"Look."

Guo Xu looked in the direction she pointed out and saw two monks sitting on the second floor of the building on the railing.

The old man who was closest to the railing turned around while speaking, just so that Guo Xu could see his appearance.

This person's eyebrows are long and his eyes are straight, his nose is straight, his five long beards are a little gray and his face is a little wrinkled, but he is wearing a goose yellow Taoist robe, and he is out of the world while laughing and talking.

Although the old monk opposite him was hard to see the whole picture, he could see a corner of the cassock.

Guo Xu said: "That's it, Master Qingsong, the head of Wudang, is it Master Lekong who is sitting opposite him?"

Cheng Caiyu nodded and said, "It was the two of them, and the two people sitting next to them had a reputation and status in the sect, which was still above them."

"Is it Master Lejie and Senior Yan Chongtian?" Guo Xu said, "These two have become famous for forty or fifty years ago. They are both masters who have never left their mountain gate for decades. This time they are here too?"

"Because the imperial edicts sent to Shaoshi Mountain and Wudang Mountain, the names of the two of them were directly pointed out."

Cheng Caiyu continued this sentence and said, "It's not just them, but all the first-class masters in the major sects were directly named in the imperial edict and had to come."

The eight major sects have a long history and a great family, but because of their great family, they are the most unavoidable people when facing the court's explicit tough will.

The smiles that Guo Xu had on his face all year round gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but reveal a calm expression.

He had already noticed along the way that the closer he was to the capital, the more dangerous the atmosphere brought by those martial arts people was, mixed with depression and restlessness.

But after actually entering Beijing, after walking for a while, he realized that the situation was so serious that it probably exceeded his previous estimate.

Guo Xu sighed and said, "What exactly happened in the Forbidden City?"

Cheng Caiyu's expression was slightly tightened and he said, "There are so many people here. I'll talk about that matter, let's go back to the escort agency."

Guo Xu nodded silently, and the two walked towards Changfeng Escort Agency speechlessly.

Just when there was only one street left before the Changfeng Escort Agency, Guo Xu saw several familiar faces in the inn on the roadside.

Some of those people, some of them swayed their feathers and dressed up as a different elegance than the current season.

Some of them have ferocious faces, thick eyebrows, thick teeth and cracked lips, and they just talk to the waiter casually, which is also a bad voice.

Some people are not young at the age of age, with kind eyes and shabby clothes. But when they glanced at the evil man, they were still fearless, but instead showed a smile that made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.

They came from all over the world and became famous in the Three Rivers and Five Mountains, but Guo Xu remembered one of their common points at first sight.

They have all submitted to the court's wanted order.

They are either the leader of the evil sect or the lone thief.

"These people?"

"They also received the imperial edict." Cheng Caiyu frowned and said, "How terrible is the information network of Hulong Villa? This time, it can be truly displayed in front of the people of the world."

These evil evildoers who think they are free from justice, whether they are hiding between the market or roaring in the mountains and forests, are actually in control of Hulong Villa. I believe that when the imperial spies brought the imperial edict to the door, these people must be in a very exciting mood.

However, this time, they were all going to be mobilized to the capital at once, but they made great profits not through coercion.

After hearing Cheng Caiyu say a few words, Guo Xu's emotions were a little complicated.

He claimed that he would have more time to be a drinker than to be a martial artist. In fact, there is some reason, that is, he did not want to get involved in those bloody and intrigues.

But now it seems that even though he has ignored the affairs of the escort agency in recent years, he still cannot escape the attention of some intelligence organizations when encountering such a major incident.

The atmosphere between the two became more dull. After returning to the Changfeng Escort Agency, they never said anything to the people greeted the escort agency. They went to the hall, retreated and closed the door.

Cheng Caiyu did not speak immediately, but instead poured a cup of teapot on the table and pushed it in front of Guo Xu.

"No need..." Guo Xu wanted to refuse, but he smelled a smell of wine. He swayed his arm and picked up the teacup and put it to the tip of his nose. There was a hint of joy between the tip of his eyebrows and said, "This is wine."

Cheng Caiyu said: "How can you only use tea when we greet Mr. Guo?"

Guo Xu laughed.

Containing wine in a teapot was just a trivial little thought, but it swept away his dull mood since he entered Beijing.

After drinking three glasses in a row, his expression and movements were much more relaxed, and then he smiled and said, "Indeed, there is no worries in the world, it is impossible to suppress a few glasses of fine wine."

Cheng Caiyu lifted the teapot containing the wine and said, "Then let's take advantage of the fact that there are still many fine wines and tell me the source of these troubles."

……………………

"It was someone who trespassed the palace and defeated the Dongchang led by Cao Zhengchun, several spies from Hulong Villa, and many imperial guards guarding the imperial city. They did lawless things, which led to the situation where the court today made great wars and almost summoned all the first-class masters in the world."

On the second floor of the restaurant, someone finally directly told the tacit news that everyone had said.

Before, Guo Xu and the others were far away, so they never discovered that the entire restaurant had been taken over by people from several major sects.

The restaurant is sitting on the second floor, not only the four masters of Shaolin Wudang.

The head of Kunlun, the head of Kubai, the head of Emei, Bai Yuntian, the head of Diancang, Yiyangzi, the master of Wutai Mountain Rare Books, the head of Huashan, and others all gathered here.

Among the eight major sects, except for the Qingcheng Sect that I had not made an appointment, the leaders of the other sects who were truly able to make decisions have almost arrived, and they have been working here for nearly an hour.

Just as the head of Huashan said that, Taoist Xushan from Qingcheng Sect finally found a way and was welcomed into the restaurant.

The eight major sects live together here.

The appearance of the leader of Huashan sect has always been a hot temper. After hearing the greetings of everyone present for an hour, he could not hold back. When he saw Taoist Master Xushan coming in, he only glanced, clasped his fists and said, "The people in the palace cannot stop it and can't take that person, so the purpose of finding us is clear at a glance."

He slapped the table and glanced at everyone present, "What the court's people mean was to do things in the world, and asked us to work together to capture the madman."
