Chapter 447: The Second Demon Seed Is About to Mature, the Idea of ​​the World's Number One Village

Wuying Palace, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Xin could not remember how many times he had stepped into this palace where Emperor Hongzhi lived for a long time. Today, outside the Wuying Palace, Cao Zhengchun, as usual, was still the eunuch Cao to greet him.

Cao Zhengchun took Xu Xin into the palace. It was a bit surprising that there was another person inside besides the emperor. He was Zhu Wushi, the Iron-hearted Marquis who was planning to build the Hulong Villa.

After Zhu Wushi captured Gu Santong and returned to Beijing to report, the emperor did not let him return to the Five Military Governor's Office to work, but let him be responsible for suppressing the affairs of the martial arts world. The Hulong Villa was also established for this purpose.

Today, the emperor asked Zhu Wushi to come and Xu Xin. Could it be that there was something in the martial arts world that he wanted him to give advice on? Xu Xin's heart moved, and he recalled some recent intelligence, and vaguely guessed.

"Your Majesty! Marquis!"

Xu Xin casually bowed his hands and saluted. The emperor told him not to be polite, but Zhu Wushi returned a salute very formally.

"Wusi, tell Shouren about it."

After the few people greeted each other, the emperor asked Zhu Wusi to tell the story. As expected by Xu Xin, it was indeed a matter related to him, but outsiders did not know his connection in it.

"Your Majesty, Liu Sheng Yijian was rampant in my Central Plains martial arts world. I tried to catch him several times but failed. He seemed to be avoiding him deliberately..."

After Zhu Wusi, the Iron-hearted God, finished speaking, he seemed very angry. His martial arts were faintly known as the best in the world, but after all, it was the true qi absorbed from others, which was broad but not pure and refined. His frontal combat power was amazing, but he was average in tracking and light work.

He had tried to catch Gu Santong for a year before, but he failed every time. This time, he wanted to catch Liu Sheng Yijian, who constantly challenged and killed Central Plains masters, but he couldn't catch him at all, which really made him angry.

Zhu Wusi was a petty person who held grudges but never remembered favors. He even put his sworn brother Gu Santong in the prison. He naturally remembered the "Yagyu Ichiken" who had snatched Wu Mu's posthumous letter from him, and wanted to catch that guy and suck him dry.

But he couldn't catch him, which made him very helpless.

Hulong Villa had not been established for a long time, and there was a lack of intelligence and manpower, so Zhu Wusi came to the emperor to get help.

When the emperor heard that there were other people in the underworld who dared to be so arrogant in the Ming Dynasty, he certainly couldn't stand it. He first found Cao Gonggong, the top master of the palace. Cao Gonggong said that Dongchang couldn't find anyone either. After discussing it, he mentioned that he would let the smartest Lord Wang in the world come up with ideas.

After listening to what Zhu Wusi said, Xu Xin remained calm on the surface, but was thinking in his heart.

This matter was related to him in the final analysis. Liu Sheng Yijian was his second magic seed furnace tripod, which was Liu Sheng Munenori, the father of Liu Sheng Tajima, a famous martial arts master in Japan.

When Xu Xin met Yagyu Munenori that year, he was almost exhausted due to a hidden injury, and was subdued by Xu Xin to plant a demon seed.

However, unlike Xu Xin's first demon seed furnace Liu Xi, Yagyu Munenori, who used the alias Yagyu Isken, knew his situation clearly from beginning to end, so after completing some things without regrets, he began to challenge the world's masters to promote the transformation of the demon seed.

He first appeared in the East China Sea Treasure Incident, and then challenged the Japanese martial arts world, killing almost all the masters of the Japanese martial arts world, creating an opportunity for Yagyu Tajima to become the leader of the Japanese martial arts world.

After that, he crossed the Central Plains to the west, starting from the East China Sea, and dueled with masters who were good at weapons all the way. Some of them were just a fight, and some signed a life and death agreement, "both to determine the superiority and the life and death", killing many martial arts masters.

Zhu Wushi knew that Liu Sheng Yijian had appeared, so of course he would go looking for trouble. However, Liu Sheng Yijian had the help of the demon species. Knowing that he was no match for Zhu Wushi now, he decisively chose to turn away and not meet him.

"Shouren, how about it, do you have any good ideas!"

The emperor asked Xu Xin, and Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun also looked at him.

"This matter is a bit troublesome. Liu Sheng Yijian is a pure martial arts fanatic, just like Gu Santong before. If he doesn't want to fight with others, forcing him is useless."

Xu Xin's words made several people's eyes darken. This kind of guy who has no worries or handles is the most difficult to deal with. He has strong martial arts and his whereabouts are uncertain. If he hides casually, basically no one can find him unless they are willing to come out.

"However, I heard from the marquis that he challenged all the famous weapon masters, and the most famous masters of swords and knives, is that right!"

Zhu Wushi listened to Xu Xin's question and nodded.

"Why not, make the best knife or sword in the world?"

Xu Xin pondered for a moment and said: "There are countless masters of swords and knives in the world. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If we select the best in a certain aspect in the name of the court, I believe it will attract a lot of people..."

After Xu Xin finished speaking, the three people in Wuying Hall were thoughtful.

"Good idea, good idea, I think this method can be used more than once, the best conference in the world, the best talents in the world..."

After listening to Xu Xin's words, the emperor said a lot, thinking that recruiting many "best in the world" talents would definitely make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, and it could also be regarded as a kind of civil and military achievement.

When Xu Xin heard the emperor's idea, this was the later "No. 1 Manor in the World", which could be used to recruit talents and was also a symbol of the strength of the Ming Empire.

"Your Majesty wants to make me admire you, you are really wise and brave..."

Eunuch Cao was very skilled in flattering the emperor. If you want to stand out as a eunuch, what's the use of being good at martial arts? If you can't flatter... flatter the dragon, how can you please the emperor? If you don't please the emperor, how can you make progress again and become the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, which is the pinnacle of eunuchs.

Even the wisest emperor prefers eunuchs who speak well, not just those who are capable. What's so strong about eunuchs?

"Wusi, you know more about the martial arts world. Do you think we should choose the best swordsman in the world? Or the best knife in the world?"

The emperor was flattered by Cao Zhengchun, and his face was very happy. Then he looked at Zhu Wusi.

"There are countless sword masters in the current Central Plains martial arts world, but not many of them are at the top of the martial arts world. Among the sword masters, there is only one Jian Jingfeng who is barely good enough, but he is not that strong. However, there are a few sword masters, and even I have to be careful when dealing with them." Zhu Wusi thought of what he had seen in the martial arts world over the years, and then listed the sword masters he knew, including Ba Dao, the owner of Jueqing Villa, Gui Hai Bai Lian, who was sworn brothers with Jian Jingfeng, the new Shaolin abbot Liao Kong, and Qilinzi of Qilin Gate. Another person was Diao Buyu, the head of Xu Xin's family guards. "The head of the guards in Shouren's family? The Tatar who was very fast at dividing sheep?" The emperor looked at Xu Xin curiously. He, Zhu Wusi and Cao Zhengchun all knew Diao Buyu, but if Zhu Wusi hadn't mentioned it today, the emperor really didn't know that Diao Buyu's martial arts were so high and his sword skills could be ranked among the top three in the Central Plains martial arts world.
