Chapter 547: Martial Arts Tournament
Wen Bozhang asked about the meaning of the two. Wang Chong said: "I came down to Chizhou Mansion to do business, and I came to visit Master Wen. I don't know if Pan Mengcheng can be in the ya? ”
Before Wen Bozhang could answer, he heard someone outside the door laugh and said, "Brother Eternal is still thinking about the younger brother, and the younger brother is overjoyed." With the voice, Pan Mengcheng walked into the lobby.
Wang Chong saw Pan Mengcheng wearing a bright brocade robe. His face was flushed. It looks like it's really proud.
Pan Mengcheng first gave Wen Bozhang a salute, and then reminisced with Wang Chong. Wen Bozhang did not put on an official stand, and the four of them sat together.
Wang Chong was very happy to see Pan Mengcheng's life going well. Pan Mengcheng was recommended by him to Wen Bozhang, and Wang Chong was regarded as a guarantor.
After a conversation, Pan Mengcheng asked Wen Bozhang, "My lord." What is the purpose of the emergency letter issued by the head of the South County Governor? ”
Wen Bozhang was regarded as an outsider to Wang Chong and the others. He sighed lightly and replied, "The official letter said that the prefectures of the West County and the North County have been invaded by the Demon Clan. The county commander ordered us to step up our preparations for war. There is another big war between the human race and the demon race. ”
Wen Bozhang was a man of letters, and he was extremely disgusted with war. Under his rule, the Chizhou Mansion has always been safe and secure. It's really hard to get him ready for battle.
There is no army in Chizhou. Wen Bozhang also had no experience in combat readiness. He can be said to be at a loss for this matter.
Pan Mengcheng is a scholar. I don't know anything about military affairs. The two were relatively speechless.
Wang Chong thought for a while. I thought it was an opportunity. He suggested to Wen Bozhang: "Master Wen. There are many literati in Chizhou Prefecture. It is not easy to organize an army. It's better to recruit some villagers to form a team practice. Then it will be better to fight the invasion. ”
Wen Bozhang smiled bitterly: "Soldiers are brave and easy to move, and generals are rare." Who will lead the troops then? ”
Wang Chong said: "I have thought about it for my lord. Adults can set up a martial arts ring in Chizhou Mansion. Invite the heroes of Chizhou Mansion to compete in the ring. Adults should also choose the available people from among them. ”
Hearing this, Wen Bozhang was overjoyed. He felt that Wang Chong's idea was very clever. So, Wen Bozhang asked Pan Mengcheng to draft the list essay immediately.
After the list was prepared, Wen Bozhang asked Wang Chong to be the main exam. Wang Chong did not shirk.
The list of recruits is all over the counties and towns of Chizhou Prefecture. Two-player players can also compete in martial arts. This made players everywhere delight.
Fighting is the most exciting process in most games. Through competitions, players can show their strength. Once you get a place, you can become famous. Play the game, who doesn't want to occupy the top of the leaderboards. It's a pity that Babelgate doesn't have various leaderboards for other games. This kind of ring competition gives players the opportunity to show their faces. Moreover, the prizes of this competition are also extremely rich, which attracts the greed of players.
Players signed up very enthusiastically. This has also aroused the competitiveness of NPCs. Many NPCs who consider themselves to be extraordinary have also joined the ranks of registration.
Wang Chong served as the organizer of the competition. Seeing that the registration situation is in full swing. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Wang Chong's suggestion of a competition in the ring is actually selfish. The players in Chizhou Mansion are too scattered, and only in this way can they be brought together. Moreover, those who dare to participate in the competition must be stronger. He can choose some people from them to join the Heavenly Destiny Society.
Wang Chong set up the ring in an open space in Chizhou Mansion. It was originally a bazaar, but it was requisitioned by Wen Bozhang in the name of the government. Wang Chong led people to set up a high platform here as a venue for martial arts competitions.
In this martial arts competition, Wang Chong deliberately increased his publicity efforts. He asked Pan Mengcheng to write many examples and distribute them everywhere. Wang Chong extended the registration period to try to get more people involved. Even the prizes are out of Wang Chong's pocket.
Three days after the list was issued, the number of applicants has exceeded 10,000. This is far higher than Wang Chong's expectations. Even if you choose a tenth, there are more than 1,000 people.
Originally, Wen Bozhang proposed, so many players. It is better to let them compete in their respective counties and towns first, and choose the best in the capital city.
Wang Chong said that the local conditions are insufficient. There is no guarantee that the competition will be fair.
Fortunately, the site requisitioned for the competition is large enough. Wang Chong also ordered people to set up some small venues by the high platform.
After a few more days, the contestants came to Fucheng one after another. For a while, the city became very lively. In the streets and alleys, people are talking about this ring competition.
This day is the day when the ring competition officially begins. Wang Chong and Wen Bozhang came to the competition venue early.
Although they came here early, there were still many people gathered outside the venue.
Wen Bozhang sent officials to maintain order at the scene. The work is daunting due to the sheer number of people.
There are 10,000 people who have signed up for the competition alone, plus the people who are watching the excitement, and this open space is already crowded.
Wang Chong had long estimated this situation. He had the place fenced off with ropes. Only contestants are allowed in the center of the field. The rest of the people can only watch from the perimeter of the rope.
The playing field is decorated in a colorful way. The square is surrounded by colorful flags. Under each bunting, a large drum is placed.
Fifty small platforms were set up in the grounds. This is for the preliminaries. Right in the middle is the home arena. In these fifty-one venues, a banner was erected, which said that Tianyuan would be undertaken.
Tens of thousands of people gathered around, and the square was already flooded. On the periphery of the site, a total of 10 registration offices were set up. Register for the contest, and the certification and lottery will be conducted here.
Due to the lack of space, only five hundred matches can be arranged per day. For 10,000 people to sign up, it will take 10 days for the preliminary round.
Wen Bozhang felt that the time had dragged on too long, adding a lot of burden to the government. Wang Chong thinks that this is a good thing. The more these people stay in Fucheng, they will increase a lot of income for Chizhou Prefecture. It's a great time to spur consumption.
Wang Chong predicts that this competition will take a month. But. He was willing to take as long as possible.
This time, Wang Chong has to choose well. It's time for the Celestial Fate to straighten things out. He wants to replace the unqualified members who have earned income due to blind expansion with some fresh blood.
Registration took place all morning. Wang Chong is also secretly investigating. He didn't tell anyone about his purpose, and the people of the Tianyuan Congregation who sat on the rostrum with him were bored.
Only Qiu Feng is as positive as Wang Chong. He sat beside Wang Chong and kept looking.
After the registration was over, it was already noon. The onlookers were already exhausted. Many people lost patience and left the place.
The official in charge of registration shall submit the list of registrations to Wen Bozhang. Wen Bozhang discussed with Wang Chong, and Wang Chong suggested that the preliminary round should start tomorrow.
The next day, Wang Chong and others came to the arena. It's already full of people. Some players simply spend the night here.
This martial arts competition is more like a festival. Many people see business opportunities here.
In the competition venue, selling students came and went. and those who sell melons and fruits, and those who sell weapons and equipment. There are also speculators who are selling information about players.
Wang Chong was very happy when he saw such a scene. He proposed to hold this ring competition, not only to select outstanding talents, but also to create a propaganda effect. He's going to get more and more people coming here.
