step on mountains and rivers

After Tang Qingfeng returned, he practiced light kung fu and brought Li Zhenwu back to the martial arts arena.

As soon as the two fell down, they heard Chu Xiaohe say loudly to the crowd:

"Everyone, the military election of the leader of the world alliance has all ended today. This seat won this competition, and this seat will be disrespectful to the position of the leader of the world alliance."

"The head of Chu's sect has high martial arts skills, so it's only natural for him to be the leader of the alliance. There's no need to be polite about being the head of the sect," Xuanyuan Bei said.

"Hmm. The head of Chu has both ability and political integrity, and he is indeed the best candidate for the leader." Huizhen said.

"You two are right. Master Chu is indeed the most suitable candidate," Tang Xiaolong said.

"Yeah. They're right." Chen Jianghe said, and Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yuan and Lin Shuangyue nodded slightly towards Chu Xiaohe after listening to everyone's words.

Seeing everyone like this, Chu Xiaohe smiled and said:

"Everyone is overrated. Since everyone doesn't dislike it, then I will be the leader of this alliance for the time being. If there is a better person in the future, I will choose another one."

"Okay." Everyone replied.

Chu Xiaohe nodded, and continued to the crowd:

"Since the leader of the alliance has been selected, the choice of the deputy leader of the alliance has been discussed with the commander-in-chief of the Shangguan. The young master Tang and the king of Yanbei will be in charge. The young master Tang has high martial arts skills and is familiar with the affairs of the Four Sacred Palaces. King Yanbei was selected by the holy emperor. There are great abilities, and the two of them will be the deputy leaders, I wonder if everyone has any opinions?"

"I have no objection, the leader can choose." Xuanyuan Bei said.

After Xuanyuanbei finished speaking, Chu Xiaohe looked at the rest of the people, and seeing that everyone agreed, he continued:

"Okay, that's it. The Tianxia League will be formally established today. Please discuss the details of the alliance with me at King Yan's Mansion."

"Okay." After everyone returned, they went to Prince Yan's mansion together with Chu Xiaohe.

In King Yan's Mansion, everyone sat down in the lobby one by one.Chu Xiaohe took his seat and said to everyone in the hall:

"Everyone, I invite you here today to discuss the matter of the League in detail. In view of the fact that many martial arts knights want to join the League, I would like to set up the League as four sub-leagues and one general alliance for convenience. Knights from all over the place can choose nearby, and at the same time, they can better control the situation in Jianghu."

After Chu Xiaohe finished speaking, everyone nodded.Chu Xiaohe understood, and continued:

"As for the selection of the location of the general alliance and sub-alliances, this seat wants to establish it based on the east, west, north, south, and middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The general alliance is located in Luoyang, and it is jointly managed by this seat and the two deputy leaders.

Regarding the sub-alliance, the Eastern Seat is supposed to be located in Chuzhou, and Zhang Yuan, the head of Wudang, will be in charge of related matters.The Western Seat is supposed to be located in Bashu, and Tang Xiaolong is responsible for the details.The southern part is located in Jingzhou, which is controlled by the leader of the beggar gang, Jiang Yu.Finally, the northern part is located in Beichuan, which is under the responsibility of this seat. "

After Chu Xiaohe finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and said:

"What do you think about the arrangement of this seat?"

"The leader's arrangement is very proper, so very good." Shangguan said in shock.

After Shangguan Jinghong finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement with her words.

Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Xiaohe continued to them:

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Heads, I will discuss with the commander-in-chief Shangguan about the specific construction of each department of the alliance, and build it as soon as possible, so that it will be convenient for the heads. During this period, I would like to ask the heads to pay more attention. Regarding the whereabouts of the Four Sacred Palaces. If you have any information, please inform me in time."

"Okay." Everyone replied.

After everyone finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng said to Chu Xiaohe:

"Master Chu, the Beggar Clan has found out that the Four Sacred Palaces are frequently active in the Jinling area a few days ago. I don't know what they are planning. I plan to investigate."

"Okay, does Vice President Tang need someone from me to assist?" Chu Xiaohe asked.

"No need for now, I'll go and see it with Zhenwu first, and then notify the leader if there is any situation." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Since that's the case, those two go first, and if necessary, please inform me at any time." Chu Xiaohe said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng said: "Then let's go first."

"Well, you two should be more careful." Chu Xiaohe said.

"Okay. Leader, all the leaders, take your leave." After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he led Li Zhenwu out of the gate of King Yan's Mansion.

As soon as the two of them left the gate, they saw King Yanbei walking not far away with Li Luo.

When the four of them met, Tang Qingfeng and King Yanbei asked in confusion at the same time:

"Why are you here?"

"This king knows everything, and I don't want to waste time with them." King Yanbei said, looking at Tang Qingfeng and saying:

"Where are you going?"

"It's a small matter to investigate." Tang Qingfeng said.

"What's such a trivial matter that you want to bother the deputy leader to investigate?" Yanbei King asked.

"The matter of the Four Sacred Palaces." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Four Sacred Palaces? Where is it?" King Yanbei asked.

"Jinling." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Jinling?" King Yanbei said softly, and then said:

"Two be careful."

"Well. Let's go first." After Tang Qingfeng returned, he took Li Zhenwu out of Yanwang Mansion.

Outside Prince Yan's mansion, Jiang Ling and Lu Qing had been waiting for a long time.Seeing that Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu hadn't come out yet, Jiang Ling said to Lu Qing beside him:

"Lu Qing, Old Tang and the others are really slow."

"Perhaps the matter of the alliance is complicated, and it is difficult to get out." Lu Qing looked at the door and guessed.

"How complicated can it be? It takes so long to talk about something. Wouldn't it be enough to just say a few words?" Jiang Ling said.

"I don't know." Lu Qing replied.

While the two were talking, Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu walked out of the gate, saw Jiang Ling and Lu Qing waiting in front of the carriage, and walked towards them quickly.

Seeing the two men approaching, Jiang Ling was dissatisfied with Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Old Tang, you are too slow."

"Old Jiang, please slow down." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

"What's better to slow down? What's better to slow down?!" When Jiang Ling was puzzled, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he suddenly realized, looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Old Tang, if you talk about business, you can talk about business. Can you stop joking?"

"????" Li Zhenwu and Lu Qing were confused after hearing Jiang Ling's words.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked:

"Brother Tang?"

"Yeah." Seeing Li Zhenwu was puzzled, Tang Qingfeng looked at him and explained with a smile:

"Zhenwu, you can't eat delicious food in a hurry, and the same is true for doing things."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded in agreement.

Listening to Tang Qingfeng's explanation, Lu Qing felt a little weird in his heart, but he didn't think much about it. Seeing that it was getting late, he said to the three of them:

"It's getting late, Jinling is far away, let's talk while walking."

"Okay." After Tang Qingfeng returned, the four of them got into the carriage, and Jiang Ling and Lu Qing drove quickly towards Jinling.

The carriage galloped out, galloping on the avenue outside Luoyang city.

In the car, Jiang Ling asked Tang Qingfeng:

"Old Tang, what did the alliance say?"

"The establishment of the various ministries of the League." After Tang Qingfeng returned, he told Jiang Ling and Lu Qing what Chu Xiaohe had said.

After the two nodded in understanding, Jiang Ling continued:

"Such an arrangement is very appropriate. The four divisions are all closely related to the Four Sacred Palaces, and their influence is extremely large. They deserve this position."

"Well, you're right. Leader Chu thinks the same way, so he made this decision." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Probably." Jiang Ling said.

After the two finished speaking, Lu Qing said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother Tang, aren't you the deputy leader of the Tianxia League now?"

"It should be." Tang Qingfeng said to Lu Qing:

"It's just a false name, but it's just a tool to restrain the forces of all parties."

"Why did brother Tang say that?" Lu Qing asked.

"The power of the alliance in the world is complicated. The court and the rivers and lakes are fighting openly and secretly. The deputy leader is just a balance between the two forces." Tang Qingfeng said.

"It's so." Lu Qing said.

After Lu Qing finished speaking, the two stopped talking.

Li Zhenwu looked at the silent Tang Qingfeng, and said softly to him:

"Brother Tang."

Seeing that Li Zhenwu was worried, Tang Qingfeng smiled at him and said:

"Don't worry Zhenwu, it's all trivial, I can handle it."

Li Zhenwu looked at the smiling Tang Qingfeng, nodded and said:

"Okay, if brother Tang needs it, I will do my best."

Tang Qingfeng heard what Li Zhenwu said, looked at him with a smile and said:

"Really? If I need it, will Zhenwu really go all out?"

"Well, definitely." Li Zhenwu said firmly.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng smiled back, then leaned against his ear and whispered softly: "Zhenwu, you can't go back on what you said."

"Brother Tang, don't worry, I won't." Li Zhenwu said.

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng replied.

After driving for several days, the carriage arrived at the post station outside Jinling City when it was dark.

Jiang Ling tied up the carriage, and the four of them walked into the store.

Seeing the four people coming, the innkeeper greeted them with a smile and said:

"Four guest officers, do you stay at the top or stay at the hotel?"

"Both top-notch and staying in the hotel." Tang Qingfeng said to the innkeeper: "Boss, do you still have a room?"

"Yes, there are two upper rooms, do you need them?" the boss replied.

"Well, we want it." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Okay, all guests, please take a seat. I will arrange for someone to clean up the room. The guests will have dinner in the lobby first, and the room will be ready later." The boss said.

After Tang Qingfeng nodded in response, the boss took the four of them to a square table in the corner by the wall.

After the four of them sat down, they ordered some food, and the boss smiled and left.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at the departing boss, and said to Jiang Ling:

"Lao Jiang, how is the situation in Jinling?"

"Not good." Jiang Ling said solemnly.

"What's wrong?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"All the disciples of the Beggar Clan who went to investigate recently have disappeared," Jiang Ling said.

"Huh? How could this be?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Ling replied.

"Where did they disappear?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Near the Jiulong Lake outside Jinling City." Jiang Ling said.

"Jiulong Lake?" Just when Tang Qingfeng was wondering, he heard the knight at the table next to him suddenly say:

"Have you heard? There seems to be a monster in Jiulong Lake."

"I heard, I also heard that the monster is eight feet tall, swallows clouds, and can eat people." Another knight said.

"Yes, I heard that many people went to watch it out of curiosity, but they didn't hear from them all, and disappeared there for no reason." Zai Yi said.

Tang Qingfeng heard the conversation between the three, got up and walked up to the three and said:

"Three, Tang Qingfeng from the next Tang Sect,"

Before Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, the three of them interrupted his words in shock when they heard the words Tang Qingfeng:

"Are you really Tang Qingfeng?"

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

The three of them looked at the person in front of them, recognized the black folding fan in his hand at a glance, and then said in surprise:

"Mo Yufan, you really are Tang Qingfeng!"

"Huh? Why do you guys recognize my weapon?" Tang Qingfeng was puzzled.

The three knights did not answer, but looked at the young man with two swords behind him.

"Two Swords of Daoxuan!! Isn't the young man the Daoist Li Zhenwu?!"

Li Zhenwu was talking with Jiangling Luqing, when he heard the voices of the three, he turned around and said in doubt:

"Everyone knows the poor way?"

Hearing Li Zhenwu's response, the knight looked at him in surprise, then at Tang Qingfeng, and said with surprise:

"I didn't expect that there were really two of them. It's a great honor to meet you here."

"??????" Li Zhenwu heard the knight's words, and when he was wondering, he heard the knight explain:

"You two, the head of Chu has informed all the factions about your matter. I didn't expect the two of you to reach the pinnacle of martial arts at such a young age. It is really admirable to step to the top of the rivers and lakes."

"You're welcome." Listening to the knight's words, Tang Qingfeng replied lightly, and asked him:

"Brother, I don't know what happened to the Nine Dragon Lake monster you were talking about just now?"
