Peerless Young Master

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

This world is different from the other world. It is not about human relationships and worldly affairs, but about fighting and killing.

After all, the heroes in the martial arts world also need to eat. A sect has at least a dozen people, and at most hundreds of people. It is not an easy task to feed so many people.

Therefore, these sects often fought each other in order to seize territory and resources, causing great trouble to local people and officials.

If we take action against these gangs, they will surely be destroyed, and the common people will be the ones who suffer.

But if no action is taken, the local security will continue to deteriorate, the people will not be able to live and work in peace, and the reputation of officials will be affected. When the Ministry of Personnel investigates, they will most likely be investigated and punished.

At that time, there was a prefect in Yunyao City who could not stand the arrogance of the knights. In order to make these knights live in peace, he made a plan.

This plan is the Hundred Gates Competition.

The so-called Hundred Gates Competition is an open bidding for a series of non-military resources in Yunyao City, including ores, waterways, mountaintops, escort agencies, security, and bounties for capturing criminals.

All gangs in Yunyao City must compete in a competition. Whoever ranks higher will get more resources.

After the Hundred Sects Competition, if there are still knights or sects that violate the rules by force, everyone must kill them together.

After hearing this, Li Xuan finally understood and quickly gave a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being an official, you are so smart. In this way, the people can live a stable life, these knights will have something to do, and the official can achieve political achievements. It's three birds with one stone."

At this time, Captain Liu looked around, stood up, put his hand to the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Hey, these are all official words. The prefect came from a wealthy family and saw a beautiful girl on his way to his post. You know...

Who could have imagined that this girl was the wife of a demon from the underworld? As a result, this demon made a cruel threat, saying that he would take the prefect's head within half a month.

This scared the prefect. I heard that he tried to use many connections but to no avail. In the end, it was the family that stepped in and finally settled the matter.

As long as the prefect gives the devil 100,000 taels of silver, this matter will be settled.

The prefect didn't have so much money, so he was very anxious and finally turned his attention to these sects.

As soon as the Hundred Schools Competition came up, the 100,000 taels of silver were collected.

I'm telling you, this is inside information, it concerns the reputation of the official, you must not tell anyone."

There is also this matter... Li Xuan was surprised and silently gave the prefect a thumbs up. He quickly pinched his thumb and index finger and moved from the left side of his mouth to the right side:

"Don't worry, I'm the most tight-lipped person."

He then raised a question: "I heard that these knights hate the imperial court the most and don't want to be bound by it. How did so many sects agree to hold the Hundred Sects Competition?"

Captain Liu disagreed: "Don't think that these knights who roam the world, act heroically, fight for justice, and are famous in the martial arts world, are just people who eat the meat when they see thieves, but don't see the thieves being beaten.

There is only one knight among a hundred. Don’t you think about it? If these people don’t work, what will they eat and drink? What will the gang elders eat and drink?

They fight for territory and resources just to have a good life and gain a good reputation.

Knights are also human beings. Although they are not afraid of death, they do not like fighting every day and having no peace.

Of course, this prefect invited a powerful Heaven Realm expert from somewhere. Once the Heaven Realm expert takes action, these sects will definitely agree as long as they don’t want to be wiped out.”

"Heavenly Realm Master"

Li Xuan exclaimed, this is the ceiling of martial arts. In this world where masters have almost disappeared, this is definitely a big shot.

Half a cup of tea later, Captain Liu finished his duck leg rice, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with satisfaction: "Your rice with toppings is really delicious. I can eat it all the time. It would be great if you had some wine."

"I was thinking of getting some alcohol before, but I was afraid that someone would get drunk and cause trouble," Li Xuan explained.

"That's right. In the current Hundred Sects Competition, regardless of whether these knights are capable or not, they all pretend to be powerful and start fighting at the first sign of disagreement.

Damn it, I have to go patrol the streets later. Every year at this time, there are always some people who either can’t control their hands and feet or can’t control their temper, anyway, they always cause trouble for me.”

"Captain Liu, thank you for your hard work. Come to my place when you have time. If nothing else, I will give you enough rice to go with it."

"Let's go." Captain Liu waved his hand, opened his umbrella and went to patrol the streets.

"The Hundred Schools Competition sounds quite interesting..." Li Xuan was thinking about it, and suddenly he regretted: "I actually forgot to ask Captain Liu where and when this Hundred Schools Competition will be held."

"You want to join in the fun," Xiao Xuan said.

"It's really boring to stay here every day, don't you want to go and take a look?

Although there are no Heaven Realm experts, there must be many Earth Realm masters. With so many people discussing swordsmanship in the Jianghu, it would be a shame not to go." Li Xuan felt itchy.

"It's such an important day, I think a lot of people know about it. If Captain Liu is not here, I can just ask someone." Xiao Xuan thought about it and felt that she could go and take a look.

She herself was a high-ranking human, so naturally she was interested in Jianghu events;

It would be a good thing for her if she could gain some insights from the battle between so many masters.

On rainy days, not many people came out. Apart from a few groups of chivalrous men, there was no one else.

As the sun sets, the rain gradually subsides, and I guess it will stop raining after dark.

Li Xuan and Xiao Xuan cleaned up the food, kept some for dinner, and gave the rest to nearby beggars.

After cleaning the iron rack, the two of them took dinner to the backyard.

Soon, Xiao Yidao came out of the room and the three of them sat together to have dinner.

During this period, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but share the story of the Hundred Schools Competition: "Dad, do you know about the Hundred Schools Competition?"

"The Hundred Schools Competition..." Xiao Yidao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Counting the days, the Hundred Schools Competition will be held in a month. Why do you want to join in the fun?"

"Yeah, it's really boring to stay at home every day; this Hundred Schools Competition sounds very exciting, and since we have time, we plan to go and see it," Li Xuan explained.

"This is a grand event in the martial arts world. Those who can go up to the ring to fight must be masters of the Earth Realm. I have never seen so many masters before." Xiao Xuan was a little excited.

Xiao Yidao nodded and said, "It's good to go and have a look. These knights have different skills, which will be very beneficial to you. But you must pay attention to your safety. Although there are government officials to maintain law and order, there are inevitably some people with bad hearts who will kill people in a fit of rage."

"Ah, there is such a thing." Li Xuan opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

"The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Anyone who wears a sword on his waist and knows some kung fu thinks he is a chivalrous hero," Xiao Yidao said with some disdain.

A true chivalrous hero would never submit to the imperial court.

"Dad, are you going?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Dad, I won't go. I've seen it many times in the past years. It's just like that. The fighting is nothing but collusion of interests between the government and the sects." Xiao Yidao shook his head.

Yunyao City is not like Black Dragon Mountain. Here, any captain of the police is half a step into the Earth Realm.

Only the Earth Realm has the power to protect itself.

He needs to recover his strength as soon as possible so that he can protect this family.

…………

In a dark place, the ground was brightly lit, and there were five or six people standing below, staring with imposing manner and sharp eyes. They were obviously martial arts masters.

"The Hundred Sects Competition will begin in a month. The leader has spoken, and this time we must catch them all in one fell swoop.

In order to cooperate with us on this operation, Her Majesty the Saint will arrive soon.

Remember, this matter is of great importance. It concerns our status in the hearts of the Saint Lady and the Master. If anyone dares to do something bad, don't blame me for being merciless."
