Buwu Department.
This is the body that is in charge of all the affairs of the martial arts gymnasiums in the capital city, consisting of a general manager, two auxiliary officers, and a number of police officers, etc. It is also responsible for the opening and closing of the martial arts gymnasiums, the application of various support policies, the exchange activities between the martial arts gymnasiums, and even the selection of students from the martial arts sects.
The opening and closing of martial arts schools, the application of various support policies, the exchange activities between martial arts schools, and even the selection of disciples from martial arts schools were all handled by the Buwu Division.
In this era of martial arts prosperity, martial arts schools everywhere, the power and interests of the Buwu Division is not small, the general secretary and auxiliary officers can be said to be local celebrities, highly respected, and at the same time, the relationship with the major martial arts schools are also very close.
Huang Tongfu's current Buwu Director General is named Tian Chong, he was an apprentice at Tongchang Martial Arts Center, and he entered the Ninth Grade in his twenties, then left the martial arts center to work as an official in the Buwu Division.
After more than twenty years of crawling around, as well as Huang Jingfu's secret support, he had already established a firm foothold here, and as the head of this Buwu Division, his power was very great.
Without mentioning anything else, the fact that this support application for martial schools and young martial artists could be decided by him alone was already a great benefit.
Of course, there were too many people watching the results of this support application, and sometimes the House Master Wu Zongshan would also inquire about related matters, so even if Tian Chong was the only one making decisions in this Buwu Division, he couldn't be too reckless.
At this time, the inner hall of the Buwu Division.
Tian Chong was leisurely drinking tea, a habit he had developed with Huang Jingfu, and the two often tasted tea together on weekdays.
An auxiliary officer next to him, however, was in a difficult position, looking at the materials on the table that had just been judged, the auxiliary officer bit his teeth and took a step forward, saying. "General Secretary, it's not quite right to call back like this."
The other auxiliary officer, who had been dozing off, immediately stopped being sleepy when he heard this, he opened his eyes, looked across at his colleague, and said, " Feng He, are you questioning Lord General's decision?"
"Ren Guang! You, don't you dare spill blood!" Feng He blushed at the news and said, "I just think that this Zhou Heng is indeed a genius and there are rumors that he is highly regarded by the Chief Master of the House."
"And you're saying that you're not questioning the decision of the Head Master?" Ren Guang sneered, "The duty of our auxiliary officers is to assist the Chief Secretary, not to question nonsense!"
"Alright." Tian Chong put the tea bowl down and casually tossed aside the information on the table about Zhou Heng and the Long Xing Martial School, smiling, "You two don't always Such fighting spirit.
"Regarding this Zhou Heng and Long Xing Martial Arts Center's support application, there's a reason why I suppressed it. This Zhou Heng is the one who took medicine to break through to the ninth grade, and in the next selection of the Long Xing Sect, he will fight against Kong Cheng Shun.
"Kong Chengshun is a true descendant of the Changxing Sect, eighth grade in martial arts, 99th in the human list, the strongest group of people in the younger generation, Zhou Heng and him, even if it's just a test, the chances of winning are close to none.
"If our Bu Wushu Division gives out the support policy in advance, when the martial artists we focus on supporting will be defeated in full view of the public, we will inevitably be criticized.
"If he really manages to win, wouldn't it be more fitting that we then give this support policy over in the name of commendation . And more secure?"
"This... "Feng He was lost, this explanation sounded like it made sense, but he always felt as if something wasn't quite right.
"This what this? The Chief Secretary has made it so clear." Ren Guang sneered, "Still don't understand?"
"But on the House Lord's side... "Feng He was still a little worried.
"Did I not make it clear enough just now?" Tian Chong looked at Feng He and said indifferently: "It is a logical thing to suppress this application now, there is no problem, even if the government The Lord Lord is here and can't say anything."
"Subordinate understands." Feng He could only nod his head and said, "Lord Headmaster is wise."
"It's good to understand." Tian Chong smiled and said, "In fact, if that Zhou Heng can really win in the tournament, this support standard will be raised by another tier to him, also Not impossible."
Unfortunately, it was absolutely impossible for him to win.
.....
On the way back to the Long Xing Martial School from Bu Wushi.
Lin Cang and Lei Xiu Yuan traveled to a secluded and uninhabited place.
"Pavilion Master, what happened, how was it dismissed?" Lin Cang finally couldn't help but inquire, his face full of confusion, unable to comprehend the situation.
"It's Huang Jingfu who's playing tricks!" Lei Xiu Yuan's face was gloomy as he said, "Tian Chong used to be a member of the Tongchang Martial School, and he has a good relationship with Huang Jingfu, he's helping Tongchang and Changsheng! In suppressing Zhou Heng."
"He's crazy, on what grounds? Isn't he afraid of the lord of the house asking questions?" Lin Cang was puzzled, "And what's in it for him?"
"The reason given by Tian Chong is justified, there is no way to argue." Lei Xiu Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Not to mention that the House Lord may not pay attention to this matter, even if the House Lord did inquire about it Can't find anything wrong with it.
"As for the benefits, it's nothing more than money, and the support he's holding down Zhou Heng and Long Xing will naturally be given elsewhere.
"When Zhou Heng is defeated, he can logically give this support to the people and martial schools that have won the outer disciple quota of the Chang Xing Gate, Tongchang or Chang Sheng.
"At that time, the Chang Xing Gate will also have support money coming over, will it be less beneficial to him Tian Chong?"
"How dare you want to conspire with a martial arts school to embezzle support funds?" Lin Cang was stunned and somewhat incredulous, "How dare he, where did he get the nerve to do that? Isn't he afraid of being dealt with by the lord of the house?"
"Tian Chong, this man is very good at exploiting and climbing." Lei Xiu Yuan sighed and said, "I heard earlier that his daughter has taken up with a side male of the Pei family in the County City.
"As you know, the General Director of Buwu in the Prefecture City are directly appointed by the County City Buwu Division, and the father of that side prince of the Pei family is the General Director of the County City Buwu Division.
"And you should know what kind of position the Pei family is in, Old Lin. Do you think that the House Lord really risked potentially offending the Pei family to dispose of Tian Chong for the sake of Zhou Heng?"
"Pei Family." Lin Cang only laughed bitterly at the words and sighed, "Pingzhou Pei Clan, one of the twelve families of the Great Qi, a celestial family, the head of which, Pei Hongdao, is a fourth-grade Exceptionally high, ninth on the earth's list, official to Pingzhou County..."
He said that he couldn't go on.
The answer was obvious.
Huang Tongfu was a subordinate administrative place of Pingzhou County, and there was no way that the head of the house, Wu Zongshan, would deal with Tian Chong for Zhou Heng, which meant the risk of offending a giant.
Even if the line Tian Chong climbed onto was only a side line, yet it was enough to make Wu Zongshan scrupulous.
"Pei family, can't afford to provoke it." Lei Xiu Yuan shook his head, "Not to mention that Tian Chong's reason for dismissal is indefensible, even if something does go wrong in the end, the House Lord will most likely Is would open one eye and close the other.
"Alas, originally I thought Tian Chong wouldn't be so unscrupulous and would more or less follow the rules, but I didn't expect him to have gone rampant to such an extent.
��� "That Chang Sheng Martial School instructor Tao Feng we met earlier, I'm afraid he came to see us laugh... Alas, it's just bitter for Zhou Heng, he's It's a pity that such a genius can't get the support he deserves, pity, pity."
"Isn't there anything that can be done?" Lin Cang didn't want Zhou Heng to suffer such an aggravation.
"It can't be helped." Lei Xiuyuan seemed to have suddenly let off steam, as if he had paled a dozen years, and shook his head, "Maybe it's fate, we're so hard to get out of Long Xing A genius who still has to face such difficulties."
"As long as Zhou Heng can win the test match, then everything will be solved." Lin Cang, however, was a little unconvinced and said, "I'm going back, I'll make sure he trains the Benevolent Falling Sky Sword to perfection!"
.....
Dusk.
Zhou Heng finished his day's practice and returned home to lie directly on his bed.
His back ached and his wrists were wooden.
He hadn't stopped all day, and had been practicing the Penelope Falling Sky Sword.
Lin Cang was like a drug, he had been supervising him in the independent practice room, so that he didn't stop for a moment.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Quanzhen Internal Heart Technique was now able to operate on its own all the time and could quickly recover from fatigue, he would have been exhausted after this day.
Of course, this was a great reward.
[Eighth Grade] Lone Nine Swords Breaking Sword Style: Advanced (2658/3000)
[Eight Item]Running Sky and Setting Sun Sword: Advanced (152/3000)
Only one day had passed and he had raised his proficiency with the Penumbra Falling Sky Sword from intermediate to advanced and the Broken Sword Style was one step closer to great success!
After lying down for a while, Zhou Heng got up and got out of bed, intending to bathe and burn incense to open the two silver and one bronze good fortune bags he had gotten earlier.
The good fortune bag is something that can't be kept and can't give birth to small good fortune bags.
It's still cool to open it.
However, as soon as he got off the bed, he heard the sound of tapping tiles on the roof.
Immediately, a clear and pleasant female voice came.
"Brother Zhou Jia, I've come to listen to your story."
It was Pei Luoling.
