The main organizer of the martial arts imperial examination is the Imperial Interior Administration, but the implementation of many specific tasks is mostly completed by the Central Plains Guild Hall, which has a close relationship with the imperial family, 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 are mostly 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 executive.

The Imperial Department of Internal Affairs is mainly responsible for reviewing the qualifications of the contestants and referees, and preventing the mixing of people with bad intentions or indiscriminate use, but because even His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the martial arts, whether it is the participants from all over the country or the personnel invited by the Central Plains Guild Hall to serve as referees and organizers, they are basically more competent, and there has been no obvious favoritism and malpractice for many years.

When Wu Feng brought Qin Gu's second daughter 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 are the people of Yanjing who like martial arts, which is also the original intention of the imperial court to hold the martial arts test, which is to arouse the martial spirit of the people, and encourage them to serve the empire and sell it to the emperor's family, this sentence is probably the purpose of the martial arts test.

Wu Feng is still a little unfamiliar with all this, martial arts people with different costumes and strange signs walk by from time to time, all kinds of things, and most of them hang swords and swords, this day is probably safe to carry these usually limited weapons. However, in this arena, you can see the patrol of the Yanjing Police Department 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 keep them on duty at any time, just in case.

Qin Gu's second daughter was very enthusiastic about this annual martial arts test, and when she walked into the arena, she looked around to see if she could see the appearance of people from her 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. All of this was seen by Wu Feng, which deepened Wu Feng's curiosity about the deeper understanding of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.

"Tianxiong, will your Great Xiangguo Temple participate in this martial arts test?" Seeing that the second daughter was dizzying, she couldn't take care of Wu Feng for a long time, and Wu Feng had no choice but to turn the object to Song Tianxiong, who had been following him.

Although Song Tianchest was also looking around, he found that it was a great mistake to agree to travel without a blade in plainclothes without a guard in the morning, the crowd in the field 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 Wufeng's safety.

"My lord, I think we should go back, it's too messy here, it's really a little unsafe. While looking around at the surrounding situation, 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?" replied without a sharp 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 Wu Feng 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.

But Wu Feng didn't want to reveal his identity, he just wanted to watch the game as an ordinary person, so he would disguise himself, but if he disguised himself as an ordinary person but had a large number of guards who were not good at disguising his military identity, this would definitely attract the attention of the internal affairs department personnel in charge of the inspection, then the disguise would be meaningless, so Wu Feng resolutely refused Song Tianxiong's request, and Song Tianxiong did not insist anymore.

"Tianxiong, you are too worried, isn't it more conspicuous to go to that VIP seat, maybe it is more dangerous. Wu Feng replied with a smile, the fight on the high platform had already attracted his attention, "Hey, Tianxiong, which sect do you think you belong to over there?"

Song Tianxiong saw that Wufeng was stubborn, so he had to secretly pray in his heart not to make any trouble, and at the same time greeted the two daughters, asking them to strengthen their vigilance and pay attention to the surrounding movements, "My lord, what do you say over there? It seems to belong to the eagle claw gate of Huaiyang Mansion, you see that the weapons they carry with them are a bit special, they all have a long chain of iron eagle claws, it is said that their iron eagle claws are specially made of fine iron, and there are organs in it. ”

Wu Feng took a closer look and found that sure enough, the disciples who were dressed in that color were wrapped around their waists with a bulging loose cloth bag, and a chain handle at the mouth of the bag leaked out, just in the most convenient position for the hand, which was obviously specially designed, and although the first one was a little old, he still looked like a dragon horse spirit and an extraordinary spirit.

Seeing that Wu Feng was paying attention to the old man, Song Tianxiong hurriedly whispered: "That old man is the owner of the Eagle Claw Gate, Wang Tianlie, who is known as the 'Eagle Claw King', not only has an iron eagle claw played a magical trick, but the most powerful thing is his hands, his mixed yuan eagle claw skill has reached its peak, the broken stone is cracked, and it is indestructible, it is really a stunt in the hard qigong of the foreign family." ”

Seeing that Song Tianxiong understood so thoroughly, Wu Feng couldn't help but feel strange, "Tianxiong, you will know this old man so clearly, what does it have to do with it?"

"My lord said and laughed, where would Tianxiong have anything to do with them, but although this Eagle Claw Gate is located in Donghai County, it has always had a close relationship with the Northland Martial Arts, and when I was still learning from my master, I followed my master to visit the door, but that was already a year ago, and they probably didn't have any impression at all. Song Tianxiong replied with a smile.

"Tianxiong, how many sects are there in this imperial martial arts? I think there are nearly 30,000 people in this arena, excluding the ordinary people in the capital, I think there are at least more than 10,000 people dressed in the martial arts, it seems that the imperial martial arts is really full of talents. Wu Feng walked around with interest.

"My lord, you have misunderstood, in fact, whether it is the Jianghu Gang or the martial arts sect, there are not many so-called real masters, except for some sects with deep roots and large scales, there are very few martial arts masters in some other small and medium-sized sects, and most of them belong to ordinary disciples. It's just that if you have practiced the martial arts of your own sect, most of them can only be said to be used to strengthen your body, and if you really want to win a strong fight, it will not be of much use. "Although Song Tianxiong does not belong to the martial arts, he has a deep relationship with the Daxiangguo Temple ---- the main sect in the northern martial arts, so he knows the real situation of the Jianghu sect very well.

"You see, although there are a lot of people dressed up in the martial arts who come and go, many of them are just small characters dressed in gang clothes, in fact, most of them are here to shout and cheer, usually in the faction, they are doing miscellaneous work, and the status of the guys recruited by many industries is also similar, nothing more than a slightly stronger discipline surname, and they can practice martial arts in their spare time, after all, they must first eat enough to talk about other things, there is no economic foundation, where can we talk about other ideas? And often these small and medium-sized sects lack the most is the economic foundation, which greatly restricts the development of these small and medium-sized sects, and the economic foundation can be guaranteed by the sect, if there are one or two more capable leaders in the sect, through a period of development and growth, then this sect is likely to develop into a large sect, and when you become a large sect, the influence expands, and often it is possible to obtain a wider range of economic sources. Song Tianxiong's words analyzed the real situation within the Jianghu sect very thoroughly, and it was obviously specially studied.

"Oh, so that's the case, it seems that on the surface, this martial arts sect with infinite scenery actually has so many unspeakable hardships!" Wu Feng said with deep feelings.

"Yes, my lord, there are not a few people in this Jianghu sect who have disappeared due to economic reasons, when you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for the disciples under your name, how can you expect him to get up early every day to practice martial arts, and sacrifice his life and death for the interests of the sect?" Song Tianxiong's words did express an eternal truth, without an economic foundation, there is nothing.

Yes, if you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, then how can you get them to serve you loyally? This is true of the Jianghu sects, but how can a political axe not be like this? Without an economic foundation and without a salary, the political axe officials will still be unable to live, and the army that maintains the operation of the political power will only collapse, and the political power organs will only collapse, so it is true that development is the last word. Only with development, with strong financial support, you can form a stronger army, and can rely on this stronger army to obtain more benefits, this is a complementary process, but how to grasp the balance point in the middle is the test of a leader's ability.

Thinking of the situation in the northwest and northern Luzon, Wu Feng was deeply touched, and the information from Guji showed that the power of the Taiping Sect had shown explosive growth, especially in the Kansai region, and the intelligence reflected that in addition to Lujiang Prefecture, the Taiping Sect was developing extremely rapidly in other provinces, and the intelligence showed that there might be foreign forces intervening. The situation in the two counties of Yanyun is even more worrying, and the Taiping Sect people in many places have even interacted with the local government officials, but this phenomenon has not yet attracted the attention of the imperial internal affairs department, and it is really a little strange why the always shrewd Lu Wenfu would make such a big mistake in this regard.

However, Wu Feng did not intend to disclose this information to the Imperial Internal Affairs Department, he knew that even if it was revealed to the Imperial Internal Affairs Department, it would no longer be able to prevent the occurrence of turmoil, but it was possible to accelerate the occurrence of turmoil, and he hoped that both the Empire and the Taiping Sect could maintain the peaceful situation for a longer time, so that he could have more time to accumulate strength, and now the power he could control was really not enough to fight a big battle that could affect the entire empire, and even if he could, it was possible to consume too much of his own strength, which was not in his own interests。 Wu Feng hopes that the war will come when he is more prepared, and when the time comes, he may be able to grab greater benefits from the upcoming turmoil.

Seeing Wufeng standing there silent, Song Tianxiong was a little strange, he didn't expect that his words would trigger so many thoughts of his master, but he didn't alarm Wufeng, he just stood aside and silently guarded.
