The next morning, the heavy rain that had been falling for several days stopped, revealing the sun that had not been seen for a long time.

Dayong country is vast, the national strength is at its peak, it is known as a million standing army armor, each prefecture and county has a martial arts hall, free to learn martial arts, so in Dayong down to the peddler pawn, up to the dignitaries and nobles have a martial arts body, but the height is different, in addition to the imperial court to the soldier family exempted from all kinds of taxes, so the soldiers are sufficient.

In addition to the capital directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Yong State, there are 35 prefectures, each of which has its own jurisdiction over several to a dozen different cities, as for the towns and villages, there are countless of them.

Early in the morning, the four people of Baili Cicada went out of the General Temple and just got on the ancient road, and four horsemen appeared in front of them and blocked the way, Baili Cicada raised his eyes and saw that it was a person next to his father, and the people who came saw that it was Baili Cicada, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and said, "My subordinates have seen the son of the world"

Baili Cicada said, "Commander Zhao doesn't need to be polite, why is the commander here" Zhao Chen replied, "When the prince heard that the prince was attacked, he was furious, so he sent me and others to protect the prince, who wanted to be hindered by the heavy rain and delayed time, please punish the prince,"

Baili Cicada bowed his hand and said, "I don't blame you. Father is like this now."

Commander Zhao said, "The prince has already sent a large army. Encircled and suppressed those bandits, horse bandits, because of the war against North Vietnam, they were not completely wiped out before, but I didn't expect to almost kill the prince, so the prince wants to uproot them this time to prevent future troubles, and there are thieves in North Vietnam."

"Father, do you have any other orders?" asked

Commander Zhao continued, "There is also the fact that the prince asked his subordinates to tell the prince that the city lord of Tiger Roar City and the prince are not in harmony, so for the sake of unnecessary trouble, it is best to drive lightly. Don't let the Lord of Tiger Roar know. ”

Baili Cicada said thoughtfully, "I understand, since I want to hide people's eyes and ears." You guys go back, I'll have Xu Kong's seniors with you safely, and Elder Wang will go back too."

After hearing this, Commander Zhao couldn't help but look at the mighty old man behind Baili Cicada and said, "Shizi, dare to ask, I don't know who this senior is?"

Baili Cicada said, "Xu Kong, Xu senior, half-step martial saint, was sent by the three princes to pick me up, Commander Zhao can rest assured, Elder Xu, this is Zhao Cheng, one of the top ten commanders beside my father, Commander Zhao" said and introduced it to both parties.

Xu Kong nodded and said, "The top ten grandmaster-level commanders around the North King of Jiuwen Town,"

Zhao Cheng hurriedly responded, "Don't dare, since you are here, I will rest assured that I will go back and return to the prince."

This is Baili Cicada turned his head to Wang Dong and said, "Wang Lao should also go back together, I think my father also wants to know the details of this attack, and he will arrive in the Central Plains Forte in two days."

Wang Dong urged him to step forward immediately and said, "In this case, the old man will return to Zhenbei City, and the prince will be careful all the way." After speaking, he beat the horse with Zhao Cheng and left.

Baili Cicada looked at the figure in the distance and said, "Old Xu, look at the road below, why don't you go like this?"

Xu Kong said, "Since the Lord of Tiger Roar City and the King of Zhenbei are not in harmony, we can't enter the city with great fanfare, we should dress up in disguise, it is better to see if there is a village to buy or change some clothes on the road, you can see it."

Baili Cicada shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome, there shouldn't be many people in Tiger Roar City who know me, I have lived in Zhenbei City since I was a child and have never left, most of the time in the palace, even in Zhenbei City, there are not many people who have seen me, but Uncle Zhuo needs to dress up in disguise,"

Zhuo Yuanshan nodded and said, "I really need to disguise myself, there are many people in Tiger Roar City who know me." ”

After two days, the three of them finally arrived at Tiger Roaring City in the evening.

Tiger Roaring City as a connection to the Central Plains and the northwest gateway makes this city prosperous, see the street is wide, the road is smooth, the wine shops, inns, all kinds of shops on both sides, the street is crowded, the merchants from the south to the north are endless, so it is not lively.

It was late, so the three of them found a restaurant, planning to spend a night in the saying, the restaurant is three floors high, covers an area of several wide, only to the first floor of the meal to be full, shouting five and six noisy people upset, the three do not like to be noisy, so they called Xiao Er to have a private room, do not want to make an appointment, fortunately there are still vacant seats on the second floor, the three of them called the table of wine and food to sacrifice the five internal organs temple.

Between eating and drinking, listening to the side talk about the enrollment of students in Qingwutang this time, Baili Cicada instantly became interested, looked up, and found that the person who spoke was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager dressed as a ranger, and there were three people sitting in the same seat, all dressed as rangers.

"Do you know that the enrollment of students in the Qingwu Hall this time is different from that of previous years," the three people in the same seat were slightly stunned, knowing that they were all nobles, if there was any change, it was impossible for the adults in the family not to tell them.

With questions, he asked, "Liang Shao, why is it different, why didn't we hear the wind?"

Liang Shao said with a slight meaning, "This is what my father told me personally, and the news should have spread in a month and a half, and it is nothing to tell you now." Who called us brothers?"

"Okay, don't sell it, knowing that your father is the city lord, the news must be better than our family, tell me what's going on," said the young man in blue.

"Then you know the conditions for recruiting students in the past, right?" Liang Shao asked rhetorically.

The three of them knew this Liang Shao, so they cooperated with the avenue: "In my Dayong, who doesn't know the conditions for entering the martial arts." Innocent background, martial arts triple, under twenty years old, you don't lose our appetite anymore, we won't listen if you don't talk about it, anyway, we will naturally know when the time comes. “

Liang Shaohe took a sip of wine and said, "Okay, I said, this time there is an added competition, I heard that the rewards for the top ten are unusually rich, and the first one will get a heaven-level exercise, as well as Huanglong Dan and Yuqing Dan," and he didn't forget to lick his lips after speaking.

"What, Heavenly Rank Exercises, how is it possible, you must know that even wealthy families may not have Heavenly Rank Exercises, and what I am cultivating now is only Xuan Rank, so I can't go back and practice." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

But he was grabbed by the person next to him and said, "Come on, you still want to be the first in martial arts, even if you are given the Tian-level exercises now, you can't practice it, people must be self-aware" The young man in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, smiled self-deprecatingly, sat down gloomily and said, "Yes, even if it is really given to me, what is the use." “

"You don't have to be so depressed, you have to think about those civilians who are not as good as us, and feel better, haha, although we are not as good as those geniuses, how can we say that we are not the pride of the sky in Tiger Roaring City," Liang Shaoda said with a grin.

Baili Cicada nodded secretly and thought, what this person said is not bad, the whole people of the Dayong Kingdom practice martial arts, and it is very good to be able to cultivate the triple realm qualifications at such an age, although this is inseparable from the support of the family, Baili Cicada shook his head I want to do more. Then I couldn't help but think that even if civilians have good qualifications, it is basically impossible to achieve the fourfold martial arts in the year of establishment, you must know that the resources that need to be invested in martial arts training are astronomical, and the more you invest in the future, the average life expectancy of the Dayong country is about eighty, if you have not reached the fivefold martial arts in forty, the blood realm, there will be no hope for life, and the people who practice martial arts have a consensus, then if you want to achieve something in martial arts, you must meet three conditions, the first qualification, two resources, three exercises, and four teachers who solve their doubts, fortunately, he is not lacking。

Baili Cicada thought about his heart, and he had no intention of listening to them, so the three of them had dinner and asked for a separate courtyard to rest.

At the third watch, there was a sound of talking outside the window, which woke up the meditating Baili cicada and turned over, quietly came to the window, and then looked at the courtyard in the moonlight. I saw a person standing in front of his own door, and a person standing in the courtyard, this person looked to be about fifty years old, wearing an ink lion shirt, with a bookish face, standing empty-handed, and said to Xu Lao, "I didn't expect that there was a master like you by his side." “

Xu Kong said, "I didn't expect that the lord of a city would do this thing of roosters and dogs, it's really eye-opening,"

The person who came was not angry and smiled, "Since the prince of the world has come to my Tiger Roaring City, as a junior, is it not possible to meet me, the city lord, since he refuses to come, I have to come to invite the elder in person." “

Xu Kong said, "Isn't the city lord afraid that the king of Zhenbei will come to the city lord and ask for your life!"

The city lord of Liang said disapprerovingly, "If the prince of Zhenbei really comes to my Tiger Roaring City, there will naturally be someone to receive it, you see that the time is not early, do you invite the prince to come out and follow me to the mansion to talk." ”

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "What did the city lord say just now, I really didn't hear it clearly, you think it's too whimsical to think that you want to take away the prince alone," pointing at himself, "Have you asked me, do you agree!"

City Lord Liang said, "You'll think you can stop me,"

Xu Kong spread his hands and said, "How do you know if you don't give it a try?"

A burst of anger flashed on the face of the Liang City Lord and said, "You are very good, as long as you can take the next move, I will turn around and leave"

After speaking, he suddenly lifted the true qi of his whole body and hit Xu Kong with both palms, and the true qi that was hit turned into a wave and went straight to Xu Kong with a loud sound, Xu Kong's expression was serious, and his hands instantly turned into tiger claws, and he greeted him with a move "White Tiger Descending Mountain".

"Bang" two strands of true qi collided violently in the air, making a deafening sound, stirring up the dust all over the garden, and when the dust fell, I saw that the garden left a big pit three zhang wide and one zhang deep.

The Liang City Lord patted the non-existent dust on his body and said, "I, Liang Yue, have seen it today, what is the meaning of the phrase Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger," After speaking, he turned around and walked out.
