August 14. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In twelve hours, it was the culinary battle between Yang Huairen and Wei Cai, and it was also the last day of betting in the major gambling houses, and the market was full of people talking about the battle, asking each other how many chips they had bet.

Whether it is in the garden or in Yang's mansion, the atmosphere is a little tense, but Yang Huairen, as one of the protagonists of this competition, did not feel a trace of nervousness, and was called up by He Zhiyun to exercise as usual.

Half a month of exercise, although the time is not long, Yang Huairen clearly felt the changes in his body.

Before, his body was too thin and weak, and he would feel tired when he stood in the kitchen for half an hour, but now he is used to getting up early every morning and exercising, and he faintly feels that he also has muscles.

Of course, it is impossible for a little scholar with such a thin body to train into a devil muscle man like Arnold Shuhua, Yang Huairen just wants enough physical strength and strength to show his full bed kung fu routines, and he is satisfied.

After Zhou Tong's guidance, Li Heiniu's twelve-style stick method has been greatly improved, but today was originally the day when the final ring competition was selected as the martial champion, but unfortunately he had no chance to participate.

Seeing Brother Hei Niu sullenly playing with the whistle stick in his hand without saying a word, Yang Huairen didn't know how to comfort him.

In fact, as early as after meeting Lan Ruoxin, he heard from Lan Ruoxin that most of the 128 martial artists who came out of the eight groups did not attach so much importance to the position of martial champion.

In other words, even if you value it, you can't fight for it with your ability.

A few days ago, Yang Huairen complained that Lan Ruoxin and her Qinglian Gang didn't let him be quiet all day, and told her that the martial arts were underway, and your Qinglian Gang shouldn't just stare at the cooking competition on August 15, although the gambling board of the ring competition is small, but the number of competitions is large, and you can also make a lot of money.

Lan Ruoxin laughed at him, he didn't know the mystery.

It turned out that in the first and second examinations of martial arts, everyone was very concerned about who could win the martial arts, but the people did not care about who could win the final martial arts championship.

Therefore, when the gambling house retried the ring competition, basically every game was opened, and there was also a lot of profit. On the contrary, when it came to the final test, it was not a gambling market.

This is also evidenced by the actual results. The attribution of Wu Zhuangyuan is basically predetermined, and if the gambling market is opened, it is purely a clear money.

On the surface, the 128 martial artists who finally entered the final examination were determined by drawing lots to determine who was playing against whom, and advanced to the next round by testing their martial arts.

And this lottery is firmly in the hands of the officials of the Ministry of War, and it is not open and transparent. When the results are made public, look at the matchup, as long as you are not a fool, you will understand what is going on.

Some of the folk masters who performed well in the re-examination were all divided into the same half of the district, and the children of the princes and nobles were divided into the other half of the district.

In this way, the competition in the first half of the region is unprecedentedly fierce, and the martial arts who participated in the competition have tried their best to win and advance to the next round, while the lower half of the district is like a monkey show, and most of the fake matches are guaranteed to send those high-ranking officials and children to advance.

The people who stand out from the top half of the district are all people with real skills, but it's a pity that even if they advance to two rounds, they are already scarred and have exhausted their vitality early.

When they face the second half of the easy promotion without spending much effort, the noble children will also lose because they have spent a lot of physical strength in front of them, coupled with inevitable injuries, and they will not be able to show their original strength.

In the end, the eight people who entered the final stage were all famous families or generals, and they may have already decided who would win the championship this time, even if the emperor came in person, it was just a good show for the emperor to see.

Therefore, the bookmakers who open gambling banks have long understood this unspoken rule, and the people have lost interest in paying attention.

Colleagues Zhou first told Zong Ze, Li Heiniu, Lu Jinyi and Lin Chong about these things, and under his persuasion, several of them directly abstained.

In fact, it's okay to save them from suffering more physical and mental injuries in the ring.

Brother Hei Niu actually knew that even if he really participated, with his current martial arts foundation, he might not necessarily be promoted, but he was not worth it for his uncle and two junior brothers.

Thinking back to his ambitions when he decided to participate in the martial arts in the first place, it does seem a little ridiculous now.

Yang Huairen could only comfort him and say that Wu Zhuangyuan was just a false name, and who could make contributions in the future would still rely on real skills, so there was no need to be unhappy because of a momentary frustration.

Zhou Tong had already told them these words, and in the face of the fact that they could not change, Li Heiniu and the others could only use this reason to comfort themselves.

The reality is that when the officials are crowned in the future, they will still take advantage of the sons and daughters of the nobles, and the vacancies in the forbidden army, which are not much, are basically occupied by them.

And those martial artists from civilian backgrounds, although they are registered with the Ministry of War, it is difficult to have vacancies for them.

Originally, the imperial court in this period had redundant personnel, and there were already a large number of empty salaries but no practical positions, where were the redundant positions arranged for them?

Lu Jinyi originally understood this, he participated in the martial arts this time with the purpose of coming out to see the world and testing his martial arts to what realm, he was not interested in being a military attaché, and was ready to return to his hometown in Jizhou to be his rich man after a while.

Lin Chong is a native of Tokyo, his father has an old errand in the forbidden army, and there is a way to arrange an errand for Lin Chong to teach the head of the infantry army, and Li Heiniu decided to stay with Yang Huairen to protect his safety, which is at least much happier than going to the army to suffer those spirits.

Zong Ze came from a humble background, he has long had the lofty ambition of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, plus he is both civil and military, he passed the liberation test as early as his hometown, and he is also famous, the road of martial arts is not working, he can also participate in the imperial examination next month, he decided to stay and prepare for the literary examination.

Yang Huairen wanted to help them, but he couldn't do anything, thinking of Cai Jing's recommendation of Li Bangyan, he suddenly thought that he could recommend Zong Ze to Zhao Hao, the prince of Jia.

With the recommendation of Zhao Hao, the prince of Jia, I believe that Zong Ze may be able to make a name for himself, so that he can have a good chance to realize his ideals.

Don't talk about people at night, don't talk about ghosts during the day. As soon as Yang Huairen remembered Li Bangyan's matter, Li Bangyan's kid came to the door.

The day before yesterday, Yang Fu was asked to go to Wanhualou to inform Yang Huairen that Yang Huairen had arranged for Cai Jing, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, to recommend Li Bangyan, and Li Bangyan went to visit Cai Jing.

Although Yang Huairen didn't like Li Bangyan, a little white face who relied on a woman in a green house to seek a future and money, but in terms of etiquette, it was not easy for people to visit, so he had to go to the front hall to meet this notorious traitor and traitor in the future.
