Zhengyang Wubi's address is in a military camp thirty miles outside the imperial capital.
It's just that this place has long been vacated, and the original garrison has moved to other places.
None of the contestants appeared in this military camp.
Today is the opening of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, and all the contestants have gathered in the Imperial City!
For most contestants, the opening moment is the most glorious moment of their Zhengyang Wushu Competition.
Because standing within the city wall, this may be their only chance in this life to enter the imperial city without being summoned by the emperor.
Liu Xin looked around and saw that there were nearly a thousand people in this section of the imperial city.
This number made him slightly moved. In previous Zhengyang martial arts competitions, there were only about five or six hundred contestants.
Generally speaking, those who are too weak to participate are purely looking for abuse.
But this year is different. Almost all the big guys at the border are back this year.
In particular, Duke Tuoba Yunhan of Qin and Zhu Guangxiao, Duke of Wu, two absolute idols in the Zhengyang Army, will also come to watch.
What's more important is the transfer of power between the two bosses. There will definitely be many low-level official positions vacant under Qin Guogong.
These positions used to require military merit or family connections to obtain, but now there is another opportunity and a way.
Qin Guogong took over the banner of the first man in the army from Wu Guogong. A large number of people under the latter's command followed him to work for retirement, and there were many vacant positions. Duke Guo of Qin will definitely choose some low-level generals in this Zhengyang martial arts competition.
And what he said at the Huaiying Pavilion has spread throughout the imperial capital, and all the contestants have learned the news.
Suddenly the number of participants exceeded one thousand.
Whoever can win the first place in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, Qin Guogong is willing to accept him as his only disciple. This promise makes countless young warriors excited.
Thousands of people gathered in Wengcheng, and a heavy-armored general slowly came to the city gate.
Liu Xin looked at this scene, but his mind was thinking divergently, what if the general waved his hand at the next moment and shouted to release an arrow!
That's interesting. In the Wengcheng, it is estimated that only two people can escape.
Fortunately, reality did not proceed according to Liu Xin's bold idea.
The person who presided over the opening ceremony was Tuoba Yunhan's general Wen Bingliang.
I saw Wen Bingliang standing on the city wall.
"The time has come!" He used his inner strength to shout loudly, and the sound echoed throughout the Wengcheng like thunder.
All the contestants, including the seeded contestants, were all shocked.
This level of internal strength is something that few even their parents can achieve.
Wen Bingliang is truly worthy of being the most powerful general under Qin Guogong.
Just listen to Wen Bingliang continue to speak loudly. Although you can't see how hard he is from a distance, his voice is still like a rolling wave sweeping through the entire Wengcheng.
Even the few people standing in the front row were shaken when they heard such a sound, and the blood and energy in their bodies surged. They had to calm themselves down by running the Great Zhoutian, otherwise, if they listened for a long time, hidden injuries would inevitably occur in their bodies.
Liu Xin sighed secretly in his heart, this seemed to be the Buddhist lion's roar or a similar technique.
Then he thought that if Emperor Wu had not unified the world, these generals would not have had the opportunity to obtain these powerful skills.
Before Emperor Wu's city unified the world, there were very few such powerful figures among the official military generals of the imperial court, and there were only a few high-ranking military generals in the imperial court.
But now, a general under the command of Duke Qin already has such strength. Putting such strength in the world, he is a proper master, the kind who can open the door and establish a clan.
Therefore, Emperor Wu City could obtain such a special status within the Zhengyang court.
Shangguan Ba is indeed a great man of his generation.
Liu Xin sighed, even the master once lamented that such a person was actually in Emperor Wu City.
This is a proud man who can prosper a power by himself.
There are not many such characters in one generation.
The next moment, a sound like muffled thunder echoed in his ears, bringing Liu Xin's thoughts back to reality.
“The Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition is about to officially begin!
Although you have qualified for the competition, His Majesty the Emperor and your lords have no time to watch you compete there and show off your tricks!
Therefore, several princes discussed it and decided on the rules for this first competition. You must listen carefully. A certain family will only say it once! "
After Wen Bingliang finished speaking, he paused and found that there was silence in the barbican city, and he suddenly showed a satisfied look.
"Within one hour from now, you must rush from here to the military camp thirty miles outside the city.
Those who arrive after the time limit will be immediately disqualified!
Here I want to focus on explaining that you are on your way from here to the military camp outside the city.
You can get a mount through any method, or find someone to take you there through other means.
Of course, there are no rules or methods in this process.
But if you do something like robbing a horse in the street, you will still be arrested according to the laws of Zhengyang. The ones who will surround you will be Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and even the Forbidden Army. The number of people pursuing you and their strength are unknown.
Of course, if you can still reach the military camp smoothly despite being hunted, you can also be considered a passer. "
After hearing this, many people's faces changed dramatically. Some looked confused, some were deep in thought, seeming to be thinking about what method to use, and some had indifferent expressions and eyes filled with emotion. Glowing with danger. Of course, there are also some who have expressionless faces and seem to only care about when the game is announced to officially start. These people are undoubtedly confident in their own strength or already have countermeasures.
Liu Xin was calculating that the distance from Wengcheng to the outer city gate was more than thirty miles.
Including the journey from the outer city to the military camp where Zhengyang Wubi is located, the total journey is close to seventy miles.
Although according to the speed of Dacheng Realm, if you go all out, you can arrive there in an hour.
But if you consume a lot of internal energy at this first level, what else can you do after you get there.
No one knows what the second game of the martial arts competition will be?
If they were allowed to start fighting immediately after arriving, then the one who consumed the most physical energy in the first game would actually lose all their advantages.
This kind of situation has not happened before. A similar situation occurred during a certain Zhengyang Wushu Competition.
That time, the rules for the first game were also announced. As a result, after everyone was exhausted, they suddenly found that the second game was coming soon, without giving them any time to rest and recover.
Therefore, the physical exertion in the first game is too high. Even if your cultivation level is higher than others, you may still capsize.
The contestants participating in the martial arts competition are more or less familiar with the previous martial arts competitions.
Therefore, as soon as this rule came out, many people began to think about what they should do. Anyway, it was impossible to run all the way.
And those who can run are at least in the Dacheng state.
The pitiful internal energy reserves of Xiaocheng realm warriors are simply not enough to support running seventy miles in one hour, so finding a suitable method is the most important thing.
While everyone was thinking, Wen Bingliang spoke again insidiously. His voice was still like thunder, and there was obvious evil intention in his tone. He said slowly:
"I forgot to say that.
In addition to the contestants present, this year the Admiral Mi of the East Factory also made a suggestion to His Majesty.
That is, even if you missed the registration time or want to participate in this event temporarily. As long as you are under the age of twenty-five, you can also participate in this event!
The qualifications to participate are also very simple. As long as you can defeat a player who has officially registered to participate and obtain his waist card, you can replace him in subsequent competitions!
Of course, if your waist card is taken away, you can also try to take away other brands and continue to qualify for the competition! "
As soon as this new rule came out, everyone looked shocked.
Because once this rule comes out, it means that their journey to the martial arts field will become extremely difficult.
We don't know how many people will take action secretly, and we don't know what kind of ambushes and sneak attacks they will encounter on the way.
Their lives may even be in danger. What if a thief attacks them halfway?
As if he had thought of everyone's doubts, Wen Bingliang said loudly:
"You may have thought of many possibilities!
The most dangerous one is that someone or a group of people will attack one of you on the way.
If that's the case, it will naturally be very dangerous for you, so let's continue with the first rule.
You can use any method on your way to the martial arts arena. As long as you do not break the law, you will not be arrested. Of course, as long as you have enough strength to support it, you can do whatever you want.
Of course, the Three Thousand Battalion of the Forbidden Army will patrol along the way. If you encounter a strong enemy who wants to kill you, you can choose to give up your qualifications, and the Three Thousand Battalion will naturally help.
But the premise is that you can sustain it before the three thousand battalion arrives.
In fact, I originally thought that the protection of the Three Thousand Battalion was completely unnecessary!
Since you have chosen to take the road of Zhengyang Wuju Competition, if you are greedy for life and fear of death, then simply don’t participate in Zhengyang Wuji Competition!
To be a scholar who cannot spit out ivory from his mouth, the journey of martial arts requires a courageous heart, the courage not to be afraid of life and death, and the perseverance not to be afraid of hardships!
If you don’t even have the courage to die and the will to fight, then you might as well die and be reincarnated and be an eggless woman in your next life!
Or just be those useless scholars.
Having said that, if you want to get ahead, then rely on your own ability to earn it. As long as you meet the deadline, as long as you hold the token, you can participate in subsequent competitions!
Good luck to you all as you move forward! "
After Wen Bingliang finished speaking, he went straight down the platform.
There were two soldiers beside them, bringing up a big cauldron with a big stick of incense inside. Only a little bit of the stick was burning at the moment. When the big stick of incense burned out, it meant that the time had come.
At the last moment, some people in the square inside the Wengcheng began to look around, and some people had already started to form a team.
Some people kept saying that they could seek help from their families, and some even said that they could invite friends in the military to join them.
Because this martial arts competition did not restrict them from moving alone or seeking other help.
There is only one rule, that is, participants must be under the age of twenty-five, otherwise they will be directly disqualified if found out.
In the imperial capital, none of these contestants have a group of friends or even subordinates, and there are also a lot of them who meet the age requirements.
But there are also some people who naturally gather a group of people around them.
For example, those young warriors from Tuoba Yunhan camp, it is conceivable that not only will they not encounter any trouble, there will definitely be many people fawning over them in this first competition.
Because in addition to the part of warriors who had already signed up for the competition, most of the extra warriors were there. Their purpose is just to have a good future.
And flattering Shansi and the others is what they think is a shortcut.
Unfortunately, Shan Si had a frosty look on his face and drove away everyone who tried to get close to them.
"If you don't want to be eliminated before you even start, come here!"
Liu Xin stood still and did not move. Instead, he kept looking at the attribute panels of those around him.
Wen Bingliang was a little far away just now, otherwise he would still be very interested in the most powerful general under Qin Guogong.
While looking at the attribute panel, he listened to a young man next to him, who was about in his early twenties, greeting his companions lively.
His mouth was flying up and down, and his saliva was splattering. He kept talking about how many brothers he had, plus the age-matched bodyguards in the family, there were seven or eight in total.
The strength of these people is similar to his, but because they can still participate in the normal martial arts competition next year, they decided to continue training for two years and were unable to participate this year.
As a result, because of this rule, his brothers will definitely be willing to give it a try.
So soon, a dozen people gathered around the young man, and some even came to ask Liu Xin, but Liu Xin politely refused.
He didn't go to Luo Bei now. But he had already seen from a distance that many people gathered around Luo Bei.
And Liu Xin did not intend to form a clique from the beginning.
The strong walk alone, the weak gather together.
Unexpectedly, this year's rules turned out to be like this, and many people who were unable to participate also had the opportunity to participate.
They can attend once in advance to get a feel for the atmosphere.
Maybe you can also gain some experience from competing with others.
All in all, while this year's martial arts competition rules caught everyone off guard, they also produced many completely different ways of playing.
For some weak people, this first match is far more beneficial than previous ring battles.
Many smart people have already thought of setting up the first competition in this way, probably to test their comprehensive ability.
In addition to personal lack of courage, some planning abilities and commanding abilities are the basic qualities to become an excellent general.
Some people even speculated whether the rules for this first competition were set by Wu Guogong or Qin Guogong, or even by both of them.
The purpose is to examine some people's ability to command and plan.
Generals and commanders are actually two different things. In history, there have been several commanders who were not strong in martial arts, but had terrifying ability to lead troops in battle.
Many people wandered around the square and began to act more brazenly as they found no one to stop them.
In the turret of the imperial city wall, the burly Tuoba Yunhan started drinking wine early in the morning with a big bowl in his hand.
He usually doesn't drink at all in the military camp, but after leaving the military camp, he never leaves the barracks.
I saw him standing on the bench, holding a huge wine bottle in one hand, holding a large bowl in the other hand, and reclining in a huge cork chair.
He drained the wine in the bowl in one gulp and refilled it as he went. His eyes fell on the thousands of contestants who were whispering among each other in the Wengcheng Square of the Imperial City.
“This year’s Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition has a lot of good talents, but there are also many that abuse the parameters.
There are also many people with evil intentions and unknown motives among them.
Zhu Shuai, what do you think His Majesty is thinking? Why was such a rule established? Maybe these guys below all think it’s you and me who set the rules. "
“Yunhan, drink less wine!
Drinking just numbs your reactions.
Maybe one day in the future, if you are not careful on the battlefield, your life will be lost by just a few seconds. Your life is not important, but what you represent is the military spirit.
Once something happens to you, the morale of the military will be shaken, and that's a big deal! "
"Hahaha, Zhu Shuai is right. I will definitely not drink alcohol when I return to the military camp. You know this."
Tuoba Yunhan said with a smile, but the wine in the glass did not stop.
Standing next to Tuoba Yunhan was a man wearing regular clothes, not very tall, and a whole head shorter than Tuoba Yunhan.
Although the figure is not majestic, standing there is like a handsome flag that stabilizes military morale, giving people a sense of stability and unshakability.
He is the military commander of Zhengyang, Zhu Guangxiao, Duke of Wu.
This famous commander who rose to prominence during the reign of Emperor Kangyang has never lost a single victory since he became the commander-in-chief of an army!
When this man's name rings out on the northern barbarian grasslands, it is enough to stop children from crying at night.
The Northern Barbarians call themselves the Golden Wolf Clan, but when facing Zhu Guangxiao, they still respect him as a Tiger Commander, even though more than a million of the remaining Northern Barbarian souls have died in his hands.
The Northern Barbarians respect and fear the strong. In the past hundred years, the Northern Barbarians may have admired two people from Zhengyang.
Emperor Kangyang, who stained half of the northern barbarian grassland with blood, and Zhu Guangxiao, who had never won a victory in his hands!
"Although His Majesty did not explain the situation to me this time, I always feel that His Majesty and Mi Yusong are playing a big game.
If you don't let me know, the only possibility is the people close to me, and some of my subordinates are also involved in this bureau.
Your Majesty and Mi Yusong don’t want to embarrass me!
The situation in the court after this Zhengyang martial arts competition, and the situation in Zhengyang, we still don’t know what will happen! "
Zhu Guangxiao has been the commander-in-chief for so many years and has never been defeated. He did not rely on personal bravery or the exquisite formation of troops.
It's more because of his control of the overall situation.
He is like a god overlooking the battlefield. When facing the situation of both sides, he never sees one soldier or one situation, but the entire chessboard and the entire world.
What he is good at is controlling the overall situation and taking advantage of the general trend.
