Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 169 The Propaganda Begins

People in Lingzhou City discovered that after the new city lord took office, he did nothing at all, but Lingzhou had undergone great changes unknowingly.

The biggest manifestation is that there are many more things to do, and more things to talk about after dinner.

For example, Rougefang no longer has a brothel, and the original brothel has closed down. This matter itself has already aroused people's discussion, and in addition, there are countless portraits of Qin Fairy in Yanzhifangfang City, it is even more hot news.

Those portraits are either standing under the eaves and looking into the distance, or sitting among the flowers and stroking the strings, or sitting by the pond and smiling, all of them are of different colors and styles, and they are much more interesting than the stunning portraits that people are tired of looking at. , I really don't know where Rouge Fang got it. Ordinary people don't care so much, especially Meng Lan's fans, who rushed in and sold out, who cares whether Rouge Square is a brothel or not?

People of insight were secretly shocked. This Xingyue Sect seemed to want to change the entire industrial structure of the sect, and had already taken the first step!

Xingyuezong's actions didn't stop there. It has not been long since the Yanyang Returning Ceremony, and many people still remember it vividly. The Xingyue Sect once again announced that before the world discusses martial arts, Xingyue Sect will host the Lingzhou Discussion on Martial Arts. All Lingzhou sects, families, and martial arts Halls, individual people, and even passers-by can sign up for the competition.

The Six Doors published the list openly, and Zonghengdao and Xingyuezong girls distributed flyers everywhere, forming a beautiful landscape on the street.

Leaflets are not the first in this world, the auctions of Zonghengdao often do this, and the list will be sent to neighboring counties and the capital. But so many beautiful girls' hair in the streets and alleys is really the unique advantage of Xingyuezong, which makes passers-by feel pleasing to the eye, and those who don't want to accept the flyers can't help but take a look next.

"Isn't this Mr. Chen from the Wuji Sect?" The girl said with a smile, "You must come to the Lingzhou Martial Arts Contest on the first day of May. The winners will include Burning Shadow Grass, Han Ye Stone, Heavenly Level Skills, and Scale Armor Battle Clothes , as well as the rewards for the top magic weapons provided by Sword Forging Valley..."

"Ah... this old man, take a look first, take a look first..."

"Hey, isn't this the leader of Young Master Li? The leaflet will continue. If you don't go, don't say anything else. Break up the relationship."

"Uh... I'll go, can't I go..."

"This young man is very face-to-face, is he a chivalrous man from other places?"

"Well, I just traveled here from Jingzhou the day before yesterday... This Lingzhou is really beautiful..."

"Our martial arts debate in Lingzhou should be an excellent experience. If we win, not to mention the prizes, at least the famous side will be proud, right?"

"Yes, I will definitely go there next time!"

The streets were in full swing, and the Sheriff's Mansion was about to explode.

Zhang Bailing slammed his cup angrily: "What qualifications does Xue Mu have to hold a martial arts debate in Lingzhou!"

There was silence in the audience, and someone said in a low voice: "Competition in the arena, making friends with martial arts, has always been a traditional custom. It is nothing more than expanding the content, not a local function. As long as others recognize the authority, it can naturally be held."

Zhang Bailing said angrily: "Do you want to admit the meaning of this statement?"

The man sighed: "It's not whether we want to admit it or not, but that the six sects recognize it. If the six sects cooperate, this is orthodoxy, and no one can question it."

Zhang Bailing was silent for a long time before he said helplessly: "I don't know what stupidity the Six Doors committed. Don't they know the consequences of this?"

There was a lot of discussion:

"I'm afraid there is another exchange."

"The background of Xingyue Sect is too strong, and Xue Mu has too many cards in his hand. If he is determined to come up with a red-eyed prize, even if the six doors don't recognize it, I think there are many people who are willing to participate, and they will always be able to do it." Come on, the participation of the six doors is nothing more than a name."

"The prizes are quite impressive now, okay? It is said that the first winner will get a low-grade heaven-level exercise! How many heaven-level exercises can there be in this world? I'm afraid they will reach the sky in one step?"

"The Xingyue Sect has destroyed countless sects in the past thousand years, and the secret realms have also gone down countless times. I really don't know how many unsuitable exercises have been searched. Not to mention one heaven-level exercise, I am afraid that ten of them can be obtained. Plus Those heavenly materials and earthly treasures... and those who openly stand in line in Sword Forging Valley..."

"The person who handed out the leaflets outside made a lot of sense. Even if it doesn't matter the prizes, few people can resist the effect of martial arts experience and the temptation of being famous. Usually you have nothing to do. How about a martial arts competition, not to mention such a grand event..."

The more Zhang Bailing heard it, the more wrong it became: "I said that not all of you want to go?"

"That...hehe..." Everyone smiled awkwardly, unable to look up at Zhang Bailing's ashen face, and just said: "We have our own world to discuss martial arts, and we will set off in a few days. Who will participate in it? land?"

Zhang Bailing took a deep breath, only then did he feel the horror of Xue Mu's move. These people don't participate because there is still a World Discourse on Martial Arts ahead, so it seems unnecessary here. What if the next session separates the time from the World Discussion of Martial Arts more? I'm afraid that even these people can't bear it.

In fact, these people can’t talk about it, and it’s possible to go back. The attraction of heaven-level exercises, natural materials, and earth treasures is really not just talking. Things of this level are hard to come by.

Just like what Xue Mu first saw when he first came to the capital, martial arts competitions in this world are a custom, not to mention there are various benefits. Even the enemy can't help but want to participate, let alone the general public?

Zhang Bailing sighed in his heart, knowing that this incident was almost a general trend, like a mountain torrent bursting its embankment, there was no way to stop it. He regretted it very much. If he had thought of this idea earlier and discussed it with the six doors earlier, maybe he could do it himself, but after all, he never thought about it. After all, he is a government official, and his way of thinking is still quite different from that of people in the Jianghu.

For a while, he also began to question the emperor's decision. Let a strange flower like Xue Mu preside over a city, can it really be held back by the so-called quagmire here? How could he not see any quagmire for Xue Mu at all? Xue Mu has never used any of the city lord's power, so what can the county guard restrict him?

Not to mention Lingzhou, just talking about the changes in Yanzhifang, you know that Xue Mu is not focusing on Lingzhou at all, he is focusing on a larger pattern, which is the change of the route of the entire super sect! It's not a concept at all.

Zhang Bailing believed that such a person had no ability to stop him from making waves in Lingzhou.

Zhang Bailing even had the idea of ​​dereliction of duty, anyway, the old man's ability is limited, at worst, he should be replaced, and see who can play well.

In fact, neither Xia Houdi nor Zhang Bailing could fully understand Ji Qingyuan's thoughts. Ji Qingyuan was actually in an extreme conflict, and let Xue Mu be the city lord of Lingzhou, although part of the reason was to use the special environment here to hold him back and make Xingyuezong a target of public criticism. But subconsciously, he hoped that Xingyuezong could gain a firm foothold and control a city, because this was also a part of supporting the Demon Sect against the Righteous Way, and the rise of Xingyuezong was in line with his overall strategy.

In other words, he is schizophrenic.

How can a normal person understand a decision made by a smart person?

However, Xue Mu is not a normal person. This guy never intends to control a city from the perspective of the city lord, so naturally he will not be involved in any political vortex. From the perspective of Jianghu, who can resist in Lingzhou?

Thinking about it, Xia Houdi's plan made some sense, let this guy go out for a few months, don't bother.
