Chapter 225: Broadcasting Yanggu Martial Arts Conference
Shen Changgong led everyone out of the general's tent. Everyone took their weapons, mounted their horses, and took the two thousand cavalrymen who had been prepared. They took the tents, food, and other supplies and marched towards the south in a mighty manner.
If you don’t know, you might think he is going to fight a war.
The location of the martial arts conference is in the southern suburbs of the capital, only about fifty or sixty miles away from the capital.
Along the way, they saw many martial artists riding horses or walking. Those people were not afraid of Shen Changgong and cast curious glances at him.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the entrance of Boyang Valley. There were already quite a few people gathered there. From a distance, they could see the buildings halfway up the mountain. That should be the Yangye Gate.
At the entrance of the valley, there were people responsible for welcoming and checking. When they saw a large cavalry army arriving, they were frightened out of their wits. They sent people to notify the leaders inside, and hurriedly gathered to stop Shen Changgong and others.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The leading man held the knife tightly and spoke nervously while looking at Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong pointed to the big banner with the word Shen behind him and said,
"Can't you see the flag? Can't you guess who I am?"
"Are you Lanling Prince Shen Changgong?"
"Be bold!"
Tu Que Ling glared, drew his sword and pointed it at the man, shouting,
"How dare you call the prince by his name? What's your punishment?"
Shen Changgong waved his hand and Tu Queling put away the knife.
"It is this king."
"What are you doing here at our martial arts conference?"
"Haha, all under heaven belongs to the king. This is the land of Dayan, and I am the king of Dayan.
Could it be that the King of Dayan cannot enter Dayan's land?"
"This... we are holding a martial arts conference. You brought soldiers here, but do you want to wipe us out? If you do, we will make everyone run away."
"Hahahaha, you are quite honest."
Shen Changgong laughed heartily, then took out the invitation from his arms, handed it to the man, and said,
"You three major factions jointly invited me to participate. Why do you no longer welcome me?"
The man took the invitation, looked at it carefully, and was about to speak when a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded in the valley.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Everyone looked up and saw Ju Fengdao Zuo Sanhe, riding a fast horse and carrying a big sword, coming quickly.
"Hero Zuo!"
Everyone said hello quickly.
Zuo Sanhe looked at Shen Changgong, then looked at the two thousand soldiers with black flags and black armor behind him, then dismounted and clasped his hands,
"Meet Prince Lanling."
"Master Zuo, I came here today to keep my appointment, but your brothers won't let me go. What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"
"I dare not. The prince is welcome to come, but we only invited you. What are you doing?"
Zuo Sanhe looked at the army and thought to himself, are you here to wipe us out?
Shen Changgong said slowly,
"Why? Do you think I dare to come here alone? Do you know how many people in this world want to kill me?
I hold the military power of Dayan, commanding the troops of Dayan, defeating Kun's army, and having power over the government and the country. Internal spies and foreign enemies dream of chopping off my head. You let me do it alone?
If this king makes a mistake, Great Yan will be finished."
"Your Highness is a vassal of the state, and you should be respected. However, your army will not attack us, the people of the Jianghu, right?"
"No, I'm only here to help you maintain order. If you need anything, just ask. I have money and connections, and I'm happy to sponsor you.
You can just think of me as a powerful force in the martial arts world. Behind me are all my disciples.
This king is the head of the Lanling Sect."
When these words came out, even the usually serious Zuo Sanhe could hardly hold back the twitching of his mouth and said,
"Your Highness, please come in. There is a large open space to the south of the Upper Valley where you can set up camp."
"it is good."
Shen Changgong led everyone and walked into the valley in a mighty procession.
On the way, we kept seeing tents set up randomly and people from the underworld sitting on the ground.
These people looked at the cavalrymen and the armored generals in surprise and doubt, with curiosity, fear, disgust and rejection in their eyes.
They are naturally afraid of and hate the government troops.
After all, even if all the people in the martial arts world were pulled onto the battlefield to attack the central army, it would be like an egg hitting a stone.
An individual's bravery is insignificant in front of the legion.
Soon, they passed through the middle of the valley and came to the southern area. The cavalry drove away the scattered wanderers, marked out a large area, set up camp, built walls, cut trees to set up firebreaks, and so on.
Shen Changgong looked at the valley and said slowly,
"Whoever chose to hold the conference in this valley is a complete idiot."
Zuo Sanhe asked somewhat embarrassedly,
"Why do you say that, my lord?"
Shen Changgong pointed around and said,
"Look at this valley. There are mountains on both sides, with only two gorges in the north and south. The valley is overgrown with vegetation and is very flammable.
If the enemy ambushes troops on the two peaks, blocks the valley entrances with heavy troops, and then sets a huge fire, they can burn you to ashes, and the entire Great Yan Jianghu will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Zuo Sanhe was very upset when he heard this, thinking to himself that we are not leading troops to fight, we are just having a gathering.
"Your Highness, this address was chosen for the sake of secrecy and security..."
"Hidden? Where is it hidden? Who are you trying to hide from? From the government troops? Then why did you invite me in?
"Can you hide it from the Yan-Extermination Society? Your invitations are flying everywhere. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that you are holding a meeting here? How could the Yan-Extermination Society not know?"
After hearing what Shen Changgong said, Zuo Sanhe blushed, scratched his scalp, and said,
"Then what does Your Majesty think?"
"Either we change the venue immediately and build an arena on the flat ground outside the valley for the meeting.
Either notify everyone immediately and prepare to set fire, and at the same time send people to the mountains on both sides to conduct strict inspections day and night to prevent suspicious people from appearing.
Don’t let others take you down all at once.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll go notify the Yangye Sect and ask them to send someone to patrol."
"Yes, my cavalry will also be sent to patrol. By the way, have the three leaders arrived?"
"Qiu Jiuxi from the Outer Eight Sects has already arrived. Fairy Meiyan from the Nine Heavens Tower and Master Li Xuan from the Snow Sword Villa will arrive tonight."
"When Li Xuan arrives, tell me, or have him come to see me."
"Yes."
Although Zuo Sanhe was not Shen Changgong's subordinate, he couldn't help but agree honestly after hearing Shen Changgong's order. This was the unquestionable temperament of a superior who had been giving orders for a long time.
Murong Yi came over and asked,
"Master Zuo, do you know where the Murong family is?"
