The opening ceremony of the much-anticipated Imperial Imperial Imperial Examination officially began in a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and the largest western arena in the imperial capital had already set up a main platform with a height of 5 meters, a length of 40 meters and 25 meters, and more than 20 small platforms were erected around the main platform, which was said to be a slightly smaller scale, but in fact, it was also 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, ready to be used for the initial trial of the martial arts imperial examination.

As long as the net worth is innocent, the guarantor of the aristocracy is the guarantor, and there is no bad record after the investigation by the internal affairs department of the government where the household registration is located and the place where the daily residence is lived, can sign up to participate. In this martial imperial test, the Imperial Yulin Army had to recruit a total of 120 sergeants, which was the largest number of recruits in the past years, and the number of recruits in previous years was generally between 60 and 80, but this year is the first time in nearly 20 years that it has exceeded the 100 mark.

Moreover, the proclamation released by the Imperial War Department also clearly stipulates that the top eight who have won the martial arts test this time are expected to directly become officers in the Yulin Army, which is simply explosive news, and it is simply an explosive news that many people have never dreamed of in their lives. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the martial arts people who signed up for the martial arts test this time was unprecedentedly high, far higher than any previous session, and the number of participants who signed up in various prefectures and counties exceeded the 4,000 mark, which was nearly double the number of registrations from 2,000 to 2,500 in previous years.

As early as half a month ago, the number of people in the rivers and lakes who entered the imperial capital to prepare to participate in and observe the competition gradually increased, and in order to deal with the possible public security problems, the commanders of the nine gates of the imperial capital launched an inventory work, and designated some hotels and inns in each district as special accommodation for those who came to participate in and observe the competition, and uniformly confiscated the weapons they carried with them, and placed them in each yamen for unified safekeeping. Give it to them when they need to participate in the competition, and they still need to return it after the competition, knowing that they are leaving the imperial capital.

However, such strict control measures still cannot put an end to the trouble caused by the huge number of people entering the imperial capital, almost every day the yamen under the imperial capital Jiumen Admiral's Mansion will receive a number of reports, fights, homicides, thefts, frauds and even robberies, ** and other vicious cases have risen sharply, so that the heads of public security of the yamen are unable to prevent it. It's annoying.

In order to solve the problem, in addition to dispatching his own direct special task force to strengthen the patrol and control of key parts, the Admiral Jiumen also sent a letter to the Imperial Military Department, asking them to coordinate, and the First Division of the City Guard Army in the Imperial Garrison City also transferred a wing of soldiers to strengthen the patrol of the main streets in the imperial capital.

Of course, not all of them have negative effects, at least they have made many service industries and entertainment industries more prosperous, especially many high-rollers have spent a lot of money, which has made many owners of Fengyue venues gain a lot while worrying.

These messages are all combined with the information collected by Deng Xian and Xiao Willy's partners, supplemented by the introduction and analysis of Wei, Li Ernu and Song Tianxiong. Let Qin Duan have a general understanding of the situation of the rivers and lakes and martial arts forces in the imperial capital and even the empire.

Qin Dui, who was idle at home, accepted the invitation of the Imperial Internal Affairs Department with great interest, and personally went to the West Arena to watch the dragon battles.

The main organizer of the martial arts test is the Imperial Military Department, but the implementation of many specific tasks is mostly completed by the Central Plains Guild Hall, which has a close relationship with the Imperial Empire, such as the construction of facilities, the invitation to various schools of martial arts, among which the competition rules and selection system are proposed and modified, and the organization and implementation of the entire competition process, most of which are invited by the Central Plains Guild Hall or the Central Plains Guild Hall to hire well-known people in the martial arts to serve as the execution.

The Imperial Department of the Interior is primarily responsible for the qualification of participants and referees. Prevent people with bad intentions or indiscriminate personnel from mixing in, but because of the martial arts, even the emperor attaches great importance to it. Therefore, whether it is the participants from all over the country or the personnel invited by the Central Plains Association to serve as referees and organizers, they are basically more competent, and there has been no obvious favoritism and fraud for many years.

When Qin Duan took Wei and Li and Song Tianxiong to the West Arena, it was already crowded and lively. In addition to some of the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes, more of them are the people who like martial arts in the imperial capital, which is also the original intention of the imperial court to hold the martial arts imperial test. It is to arouse the martial spirit of the people, and encourage them to serve the empire and learn to sell to the emperor's family, this sentence is probably the purpose of the martial imperial test.

Qin Du was still a little unfamiliar with this qiē, and martial arts people with different costumes and strange signs walked by from time to time. There are all kinds of weapons, and most of them are hanging swords and swords, and on this day, it is probably safe to carry these weapons with limited responsibilities. However, in this arena, you can see the patrol of the Imperial Capital Jiumen Admiral's Mansion and those secret agents in civilian clothes anytime and anywhere, and even in order to have an accident, a wing of city guards is stationed near the arena to maintain a state of readiness at any time, just in case.

Wei and Li's second daughter were very enthusiastic about this annual martial arts test, and when they walked into the arena, they looked around to see if they could see the appearance of people from their sect. Even Song Tianxiong, who has always been calm, couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, although there was not much change in his expression on his face, but a pair of fiery eyes revealed the thoughts in his heart. This qiē was seen by Qin Dui, which deepened Qin Dui's curiosity about the deeper understanding of the Jianghu martial arts.

Although Song Tianchest was also looking around, he found that it was a great mistake to agree to Qin Dui's plainclothes trip in the morning without a guard, the crowd in the arena was surging, and most of the people in the martial arts were equipped with weapons, which was a great threat to the safety of adults, and he was only one person, and the minds of the two women were on other things, and it was a difficult problem to protect Qin Dui's safety.

"My lord, I think we should go back, it's too messy here, it's really a little unsafe." While looking around, Song Tianxiong replied nervously.

"It doesn't matter, we're all disguised, no one will know us, and with so many guards around, who is going to do anything here?" Qin Duan replied with a relaxed expression.

"No, my lord, I am responsible for your safety, it is indeed not safe here, either we go back, or, you go up there."

The more Song Tianxiong thought about it, the more unsafe he felt, he wanted Qin Duan to go to the VIP seat over there, the VIP seat was in a special area in front of each high platform, and a special place was set aside for important ministers and nobles with the status of earl or above in the empire, and tea tables and chairs were placed, and at the same time, they were also isolated from the surroundings, and there were guards patrolling.
