Tie Wuqing's words were a little unclear, but Su Xin did not deliberately ask.
At this time, a member of the Eagle Triad suddenly came in and handed a note to Huang Bingcheng.
After Huang Bingcheng read it, he walked over to Su Xin and said, "Gang Leader, there's something strange. There's news from the gang that a lot of foreign martial artists appeared in Chang Ning Mansion today, and they seem to be very strong.
And after they came to Chang Ning Mansion, they began to inquire about the strongest forces in Chang Ning Mansion. I don't know what they're up to. "
Tie Wuqing said from the side, "Your news is really slow. I came here today to tell you about this. Something big is going to happen in Chang Ning Manor."
"Something big? What big? "Su Xin asked.
Tie Wuqing kept him in suspense and asked, "Do you know who came today?" Without waiting for Su Xin to answer, Tie Wuqing continued, "You'll be scared to death if I tell you.
One of the five sword sects is Jiannan Dao's Fighting Sword Sect. The one who came is Fighting Sword Sect's' Angel 'Xie Zhiyan. She's the acting leader of Fighting Sword Sect and the disciple of Sword Master Xuan Xin Meng Jingxian. She's ranked 78th in Jianghu.
The second one is Chuan Nan Dao's Qingcheng Sword School. The one who came is Qingcheng Sword School's elder's son, Fang Dongting. He's ranked 105th in Jianghu.
The third one is Jiangnan Dao's Nian Gang's leader of the Seven Gangs. Nian Gang is divided into Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, the Four Seasons Altar, and the 24 Qi Halls. The one who came this time is Summer Hall's leader, Jiang Ling. Although he's not on the Ranking List, that's only because he's older. His strength is comparable to the top 80 experts on the Ranking List.
The fourth one is the disciple of Xiangnan Dao's three big aristocratic families, Ruan, Zhang, and Jiang. Although they're not famous in Central Jianghu, they're one of Xiangnan Dao's local bullies. "
After Tie Wuqing finished, he wanted to see Su Xin's shocked expression, but he didn't expect Su Xin to look at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Don't tell me you don't know these sects." Tie Wuqing was surprised.
Su Xin smiled bitterly. "Should I know? I've only just gained a foothold in Chang Ning Manor. These sects of the Jianghu are tens of thousands of miles away from me. Why would I waste the effort to inquire about them? "
Tie Wuqing shook his head helplessly and said, "You really don't pay attention to what's going on outside. It's fine if you don't know about these things now, but if you don't know about them in the future, you will definitely suffer.
Fine, today I will tell you about the top sects in the Jianghu so that you won't be at a disadvantage.
The Zhou Kingdom's territory was divided into 41 provinces and hundreds of prefectures. In the outside world, there were Eastern Jin, the Golden Horde Kingdom of the Northern Grassland, the Northwest Alien Tribes, the 36 Western Regions, and so on.
Wherever there were people, there would be Jianghu. In such a large area, there were more than a hundred thousand sects of various sizes. However, there were only a few that could be considered as top-notch sects.
They were the Three Buddhist Temples, the Four Daoist Sects, the Five Sword Sects, the Six Aristocratic Families, the Seven Gangs, the Eight Heretical Sects, and the Nine Hells.
I won't tell you the specific names. You will know them if you ask anyone in the Jianghu.
Among the four people who came this time, Qingcheng Sword School and the Sword Fighting Sect are both part of the Five Sword Sects, while the Nian Gang is one of the Seven Gangs. "
"From three to nine, what are one and two? Don't you have them? "Su Xin asked.
Tie Wuqing shook his head and said, "Yes, but I don't know what a little constable like me would know. You don't have enough status and strength to know these secrets of the Jianghu."
Su Xin nodded. This was the truth. Just like how farmers always thought that the emperor could eat meat buns every day, some worlds were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"By the way, what's with this Ranking List of Young Masters?"
Tie Wuqing explained, "The Ranking List of Young Masters is a list set up by the imperial court. There are a total of 108 positions. In the Jianghu, as long as the young talents are below the age of 35, they are qualified to be on the list. Those who exceed the age limit or surpass the Innate Realm will be removed from the list.
The imperial court will update the list every month, ranking the martial artists according to their strength and achievements.
If there is a great change in the ranking of the Ranking List of Young Masters, the imperial court will sometimes update the list in advance.
"In addition to the Ranking List of Young Masters, the imperial court also has the Heaven Ranking and the Earth Ranking.
The Heaven Ranking is 36th and the Earth Ranking is 72nd. However, those who can enter the Heaven Ranking are all masters of their generation, so there is no ranking on the Heaven Ranking. "
Su Xin thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Two peaches kill three soldiers. The imperial court is really ruthless. With the Ranking List of Young Masters and the Earth Ranking, I guess the people in the Jianghu will fight for it."
As a martial artist, there were many who did not care about wealth, but there were very few who did not care about fame and fortune.
No one was willing to submit to others. For the sake of the ranking of the Ranking List of Young Masters and the Earth Ranking, there would definitely be a lot of bloodshed.
The imperial court only used these two light lists to make the people in the Jianghu start a bloody internal fight. The person who could think of this was not simple.
Tie Wuqing said, "Actually, even if there is no list, the people in the Jianghu will vaguely come up with their own ranking.
Everyone has the desire to compare themselves with others, and the struggle for fame and fortune has never died. The imperial court is just adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. "
Su Xin nodded. The fight for fame and fortune in the Jianghu had existed since ancient times. It was common for two people who did not know each other to fight to the death because of rumors that they were stronger than them.
The imperial court was just using a list to magnify and clarify the situation.
Of course, the imperial court did not dare to go too far. For example, the Heaven Ranking did not have a ranking. It only recorded the 36 strongest martial arts grandmasters in the Jianghu.
Even the imperial court did not dare to provoke people of this level. If they used this kind of small trick to anger those strong people, they would really dare to go to the Weiyang Palace to talk to the emperor.
"These few big sects are so strong in the Jianghu of the Central Plains. What are they doing in a remote place like Chang Ning Manor?" Su Xin asked doubtfully.
Tie Wuqing said, "This is also the reason why I came to you today. It is said that they are here for the treasure left behind by the former Sanxiang Martial League Master, Wild Lion Du Yuansheng.
They are asking around about the strong gangs in Chang Ning Manor. They probably want a local tyrant to help them find information.
Your Eagle Gang is now one of the five big gangs in Chang Ning Manor. They will definitely come looking for you.
You can't refuse these people. Of course, you don't have to refuse them. Just do me a favor and keep an eye on them. Don't let them cause any trouble in Chang Ning Manor. "
"Sanxiang Martial League Master? Why haven't I heard of such a position? "Su Xin asked doubtfully.
Tie Wuqing played with the iron ball in his hand. His face showed a rare look of admiration.
"Of course you don't know. Du Yuansheng has been missing for 18 years. However, this person is one of the few people I admire.
In the past, the Zhou Kingdom rose in this desolate land of the South. Wild Lion Du Yuansheng assisted the rising Zhou Kingdom. He gathered all the martial arts experts of Xiangnan, Xiangjiang, and Xiangxi. He formed the Sanxiang Martial League and attacked the former overlord of the Central Plains, Eastern Jin.
He is a man of great talent and strategy. It can be said that our Zhou Kingdom has today's status because of Wild Lion Du Yuansheng.
However, 18 years ago, when the Zhou Kingdom was about to completely destroy Eastern Jin, Wild Lion Du Yuansheng suddenly disappeared. The whole Sanxiang Martial League fell apart. This also caused the Zhou Kingdom's attack to slow down. This allowed Eastern Jin to catch its breath and survive until today. "
Tie Wuqing picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp. He continued, "When the Sanxiang Martial League was at its peak, its power and strength were not inferior to the current top sects.
Du Yuansheng followed the Zhou Kingdom and annihilated countless sects that were affiliated with Eastern Jin. He collected countless treasures, powerful martial arts manuals, and elixirs.
Even a top first-rate sect like the Sword Fighting Sect would covet these items. "
Su Xin also took a sip of tea and said, "From the looks of it, Du Yuansheng's treasure is still a mystery. Is it worth going to war over a legendary treasure?"
Tie Wuqing smiled and said, "Of course, those big sects aren't so stupid as to send a bunch of people here in broad daylight. Not finding the treasure is just a matter of losing face. If there really is a treasure, how can they not attract the attention of other sects by doing so?
The ones they sent this time are all young disciples around the Innate Realm. They are all here to scout. If they really find the treasure, it won't be too late to send more people. "
With that, Tie Wuqing stood up and left. He said, "I'll leave first. My status in the imperial court is a little awkward dealing with these martial sects. If anything happens, just send someone to send me a message."
Su Xin nodded. After Tie Wuqing left, Huang Bingcheng came over and asked in a low voice, "Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Su Xin said indifferently, "What else can we do? Wait for those sects to come find us.
You heard what Lord Tie said. Those sects are not something a small sect like us can afford to offend. "
The sudden arrival of these martial sects at Chang Ning Manor caught Su Xin off guard.
However, Su Xin did not have any conflict with them. If they wanted to help, Su Xin would not refuse. Anyway, he had promised Tie Wuqing that he would pass on the movements of these sects in the Jianghu to him.
Just when Su Xin and the others were preparing to leave, a commotion suddenly came from the first floor of Magnificent Dragon Restaurant. Su Xin went downstairs with his men to take a look. It turned out to be a few youngsters with swords who had a conflict with the shopkeeper of Magnificent Dragon Restaurant.
One of the youngsters, who was about 15 or 16 years old, slammed the table and snorted coldly, "What is the meaning of this restaurant? You want to chase us away in broad daylight? Are you afraid that we can't pay? "
The youngster directly threw out an ingot of silver and smashed it on the table. Judging from the weight, it was at least 50 taels of official silver.
Seeing this youngster's manner, the shopkeeper of Magnificent Dragon Restaurant felt his heart skip a beat. The background of these youngsters was probably not simple. He could tell just by looking at their imposing manner.
Ordinary small sects could not cultivate such imposing manner.
