C56 First Edge Meeting

The shopkeeper naturally understood what he meant, but pretended as if nothing had happened: "Actually, this matter isn't difficult to say. It's simple, but it's not simple either. "

Upon hearing this, Guxing asked with great interest. "What do you mean?"

"Haha!"

The shopkeeper immediately laughed and explained: "I said it's difficult because I haven't found a suitable person before. I said it's not difficult because with little brother's skill, you can definitely give it a try. "

Only then did Guxing realize something. "Senior, could it be that you want me to compete with someone?"

"That's right. That's exactly what I meant. "

The shopkeeper looked at Guxing, his eyes filled with confidence. " However, it's not just one person, but all the young warriors in Chu Kingdom who are 14 years old and under 20 years old. Little brother, have you ever heard of the First Edge General Assembly?"

"Never heard of it. "

Guxing answered honestly, "This junior has just arrived in the pugilistic world, so I'm not familiar with the pugilistic world. "

"So that's how it is. Then let me introduce you properly. "

The shopkeeper said, "This Chu Feng is named after a rising star, and he has a sharp edge. It is jointly held by the Imperial Family and the four great families, and it is for the sake of selecting talents for them to use. "

"Selection of talents?"

When Guxing heard this, he was somewhat puzzled. "What's there to be compared about? Under the heavens, there is no land of kings. How can these four great families compete with the Imperial Family? Wouldn't it be a waste of their efforts?"

"Little brother's words are wrong. These four families have deep foundations. Although their strength and influence are not as great as the royal family's, in terms of treatment, they are clearly far from being comparable to the royal family. In the past competitions, 80% of the winners went to the four families, while the royal family only took 20%. "

"Only 20%!"

This time, Guxing was completely shocked. "The royal family can't even compete with a family?"

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh. "Although the royal family has a great reputation, they still want to stand out. The only way is to go to the battlefield. "

"A good man should protect the country, live in a chaotic world, and go to the battlefield. Isn't that the best choice?"

"Drunken Battlefield Lord, don't laugh. Since the ancient times, a few people have come to fight. "

The shopkeeper said with melancholy: "Little brother, could it be that you haven't heard of this saying? A general's success is ten thousand bones withering away. The birth of a famous general was due to the victory of a war, and the victory of a war. If you are on the battlefield, How could you know that you were not one of the thousands of soldiers? Since the battlefield was a narrow escape for many people, how could you know that you were not one of them? Then who would sacrifice their lives for nothing?"

" That's why so many people chose the Four Great Clans. "

When Guxing heard this, he was filled with emotion.

"Yes, although the four big families are not as powerful as the royal family in terms of power and influence, Similarly, a Spirit Cultivating Stage warrior. As a protector of the family, their monthly salary is probably no less than a hundred taels. And in the royal family, even if he was the leader and the leader. . . Comparatively speaking, his annual salary was nothing much. It's better to stay in the Four Great Clans. "

"Could it be that the Imperial Family can only watch helplessly as the talents are recruited by the Four Great Clans and leave them be?"

Although it was held hand in hand, if it continued like this, wouldn't the prestige of the royal family be weakened by a lot? After all, the royal family was the true ruler of a country.

"This is also why only Chu Kingdom has four big families, while the other countries are just some mediocre sects. If this was in other countries, they would have been suppressed by the royal family long ago, and they wouldn't dare to talk about it. "

"However, if we were to use some forceful methods to consolidate our rule, it would be unavoidable. Otherwise, wouldn't it disrupt the rules?"

"When things reach an extreme, they will turn against them. There is a limit to everything. Once we exceed this limit, the consequences might be fatal. Take governance as an example. If we blindly use tough methods to suppress them, then what we will suffer will definitely be the resistance of the public, not trust. "

Then, the manager sighed. He said with admiration, "This was predicted when the fifteenth emperor of Chu Kingdom, Chu Xiaotian, was in power. In that era when all the countries were crazily suppressing the strength of their sects, he was the only one who didn't suppress them. Instead, he focused on nurturing the new sects in the country. He even specially selected experts from the inner court from the palace to take charge. It can be said that they attach great importance to this matter. "

"As a royal family, not putting all of their energy into politics, but paying so much attention to the affairs of the martial arts world, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse instead of the horse?"

Guxing couldn't understand. It was obviously a very absurd thing, but why did it get the approval of the entire country? And judging from the expression of the shopkeeper, the consequences didn't seem to be disappointing.

"That's right. At first, what little brother thought was more than just the civil and military officials of the court. I'm afraid even those sects themselves didn't know if the Emperor had taken the wrong medicine. But if it's strange, then it's strange. In this emperor's case, he has a stubborn temper. "

Speaking up to this point, the shopkeeper could no longer explain his tone, "Just like that, under his willful actions, Chu Kingdom finally rose to a height that the other six nations can't even dream of reaching. "

"Could it be that Chu Kingdom jumped from this generation to become the leader of the seven nations?"

After Guxing heard his words, Unconsciously it's a little weird: "But no matter how you look at it, the cooperation between the Imperial Court and the martial arts sects is mostly impossible!"

Shopkeeper nodded. "That's right. The relationship between the royal family and the sects is not excessive to describe it as a relationship between a cat and a mouse. Therefore, it took Emperor Chu a lot of effort back then. "

"No matter how much effort he put in, as long as it's from the perspective of future generations, no matter how much he paid back then, it should be worth it, right?"

Guxing said indifferently. From Chu Kingdom to becoming the leader of the seven kingdoms, this achievement was enough to make up for all the shortcomings.

"Although that's the case, even so, he still spent ten years. "

"Ten years?"

Guxing was shocked. "How did he use ten years?"

"It takes a long time to see a person's heart. Trust is not something that can be produced overnight. Comparatively speaking, it is not easy to exchange ten years for a person's complete trust. Not to mention a sect. Moreover, there is more than one sect. "

"There should be four of them, right? They should be the current Four Great Clans. "

Guxing also sighed when he heard this. "This Emperor Xiaotian is really persistent. He didn't hesitate to spend ten years to complete a seemingly impossible task. I don't know if I should say that he is a wise man or is too stubborn. In short, it is admirable. "

"That's right. The sect that he spent ten years to support was the four great clans in the future. However, the four great clans at that time weren't like this. "

"What did they look like?" Guxing was also very curious. What did these Four Great Families rely on to be chosen by someone like Chu Xiaotian? And what was the basis for this?

The shopkeeper said with a smile. "Little brother might not believe it. At that time, the four families were just a few small sects. Including the disciples of the sects, there were only a few dozen of them. However, this Emperor Xiaotian chose them, which made the people at that time really depressed. "

"What's there to not believe? With the eyesight of Emperor Xiaotian, he shouldn't disappoint us. It can be seen that the four great families had the ability to stand out at that time. "

The shopkeeper instantly laughed. "Little brother seems to believe this Emperor Xiaotian very much. "

"I don't think so. But seeing how highly you respect him, it means that he has the ability to do so. Since he has it, why don't I believe him?"

Guxing looked at the shopkeeper's expression, and a trace of curiosity flashed across his eyes. For some reason, he felt that the shopkeeper in front of him seemed to have lost a trace of respect when he talked about the royal family of Chu Kingdom.

This was the territory of Great Chu. Even if he was a person of the Jianghu, he should know what to avoid. This emperor was the ruler of a country, and he was usually a noble person. His name was not something an ordinary person could easily call out. It could be seen that the shopkeeper was truly fearless. Then his identity. . .
