C471 Two sides against each other (2/2)
Zhao Zhen stroked his beard and laughed, ”Ladies and gentlemen, I, Zhao Zhen, have a rather good reputation in the martial arts world. The reason why our two nations' martial arts experts are gathered here, is simply to go to the Sacred Grounds' Tiger Hidden Valley and watch the Heaven Severing Divine Sword appear.
It would not be beautiful if there was an argument here and now. Once General Zhang becomes unhappy, you and I will not be able to reach the Sacred Land on the day of spring. If everyone trusts me, then how about I, Zhao, be shameless and help you resolve this matter? ”
”Well said, Great Hero Zhao.”
”Hero Zhao, it would be perfect if you could take charge of this matter.”
”Zhao Zhen, I believe in you. I'll let you handle this.”
Hearing everyone's words, Zhao Zhen smiled in satisfaction. He cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, ”Since everyone believes in this old man, then this old man will not be polite.”
Zhao Zhen cupped his hands towards Fatty Ji and Black Phoenix Fairy and said, ”Black Phoenix Fairy, Fatty Ji, can you tell me what happened in front of everyone?”
Good men did not fight with women, but the Lord did not bully the guests. Fatty Ji had a deep understanding of these two points, moreover, he had not decided on how to explain this matter without angering the experts of the Song Dynasty. Thus, after hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Fatty Ji remained silent and shifted his gaze to Black Phoenix Fairy.
Seeing Fatty Ji looking at him, the Black Phoenix Fairy snorted coldly. Fatty Ji had slandered someone in the Great Song Dynasty, and he had heard it himself. He could not tolerate him denying it, and furthermore, his own side had been slandered while they were guests of the Tang Dynasty, making it difficult for Fatty Ji to escape from the wrath of the masses.
”Fatty Ji had slandered my Song Dynasty's martial arts experts just now. He came to the Strangle City because there is a ghost, they plan to send us to the Tiger Hidden Valley as if we were prisoners.”
Ah!” When Fairy Black Phoenix said this, the people from the Great Song Martial Arts Forest felt indignant. In fact, when they arrived at the Strangle City, they accepted the arrangements made by the Tang Dynasty's Grand General Zhang Guifang. When all the troops arrived, they went to the Hidden Tiger Valley under the leadership of a martial arts expert of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone was a famous figure in the martial arts world, how could they not understand their thoughts and feelings towards Tang Dynasty? However, he had no choice but to lower his head because he wanted to see the Heaven Severing Divine Sword.
They had to pay the price, and so everyone silently allowed Tang Dynasty to be arranged that was similar to surveillance. But acquiescence is acquiescence, but when brought to the surface, it is out of place.
In an instant, the people from the Song Dynasty were all furious. They looked at the three outstanding youths with gazes filled with ill intent. They wanted to skin them alive, grind their bones, and scatter their ashes.
The people of Tang Dynasty and martial arts saw the actions of the heroes of the Song Dynasty, so they naturally would not allow the heroes of the Song Dynasty to bully and humiliate their own experts.
The Black Phoenix Fairy said that Fatty Ji had slandered them, but in the eyes of the people from the Tang Dynasty and Martial Woods, this was not slanderous at all.
The Heaven Severing Divine Sword was originally the weapon of the young expert of the Tang Dynasty, the Heaven Severing Scholar. Even if the Heaven Severing Scholar was no longer present, it was still an object of the Tang Dynasty and Martial Forest. What right do you have to come to my Holy Land in the Great Song Dynasty to enjoy it?
With the appearance of the Heaven Severing Divine Sword, there might be a fight for it. How could this Great Song Martial Spirit be willing to leave empty-handed? It was originally his own treasure, but the Great Song Empire interfered.
He didn't even think about what the hell was going on. However, the imperial government had reached an agreement with the other party, and the great Sect Master s did not object. Thus, they could only suppress the discontent in their hearts and comply with the arrangement.
It was a good thing that the imperial government did not compromise blindly. The purpose of summoning two thousand martial arts experts to the Strangle City was to prevent the Great Song Empire from causing trouble. Even though Fatty Ji's words were unpleasant, it was the truth. How could the people of the Great Song Empire allow Wu Lin to be so presumptuous!
The situation that had been eased earlier, was stirred up by Black Phoenix Fairy's words. The air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder and the chaotic battle was about to begin.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen suddenly shouted, ”Everyone, please listen to what this old man has to say.”
Zhao Zhen's loud shout woke everyone up from their shock. The weapons in their hands loosened again and again. Although they were still glaring at the opposite party with anger in their eyes, they had obviously suppressed their impulse to attack and were waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak.
Zhao Zhen coughed and said, ”Everyone, since we are both here, why not listen to what Fatty Ji has to say?”
These words made sense. No matter what, he couldn't just listen to the words of a family and blindly make a conclusion. Thus, everyone looked at Fatty Ji, waiting for him to explain.
Unfortunately, till now, Fatty Ji had yet to think of a way to explain himself. He suddenly froze there, as if he had nothing to say to Black Phoenix Fairy's words.
Seeing this scene, the Tang Dynasty side was disappointed, while the Great Song side sneered again and again, ready to seek justice.
”I wonder if I can speak up for Brother Ji?” A somewhat timid voice sounded.
