The five-year Young Dragon List Ring Competition is a major event in Qingzhou, and it is not only Zhang Zhun who cares about this matter, but also the young masters in Qingzhou, and the entire Qingzhou from top to bottom, up to the wealthy families, down to the peddlers and pawns, all of whom are actively enthusiastic about this matter.

The reason is very simple, in today's world, the Son of Heaven is immoral, the society is unstable, the smoke is everywhere, there are many states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have raised swordsmen, and even some people have risen up, arrogantly becoming the king of grass, and there are foreign invasions in the northwest, burning, killing and looting countless people, and refugees are flowing all the way.

In this situation, Qingzhou's current stability is precious, however, people who understand it are clear that if the situation continues to deteriorate, Qingzhou will be difficult to stay out of the matter.

The Young Dragon List Ring Tournament was not held in the Qingzhou Mansion, but in the Qingzhou Army Camp ten miles outside the city.

Early in the morning of April 3, as soon as the gate of Qingzhou was opened, the people in the city rushed to the camp under the Yunmen Mountain in the west like a tide.

Fortunately, the road is not too far, and there is no modern means of transportation in this era, so they are all accustomed to walking, and ten miles is the work of a meal.

The steward of Zhou had already arranged for people to prepare horses, and the four of them, including Pang Xie, Gao Feng, Mo Falcon and Zhou Da Steward, rode westward.

Fan Hongying is a daughter after all, so it is not suitable for this kind of occasion.

The four of them went all the way to the west, and along the way, there was an endless stream of pedestrians, from the white-haired old man to the yellow-mouthed child, all kinds of people.

After a meal, the four of them came to the Qingzhou Army camp at the foot of Yunmen Mountain.

The Qingzhou military camp is built on the mountain, the company camp is several miles, the flag is displayed, the battalion is 20,000 soldiers, known as 50,000 to the outside world, it is the most important weight in the hands of Zhang Zhun of the festival, and it is also the capital of his bargaining with the imperial court.

Although the ring competition was held in the large camp, there were many secret places in the barracks, and it was impossible to open all of them, and only one school ground was open for military training.

Just in the northernmost part of this school field, a row of high platforms was built, with a red carpet on it, and a black pong was built for the officials in the city, the high-level leaders of the various sects, and the patriarchs of the major families, and these people with status were used to watch the battle, and two rows of sheds were temporarily built on the east and west sides, and the west side was used for the players participating in the ring to rest, and there were many temporary taverns and tea shops in the east for pedestrians to rest.

There are three rings in the middle of the school field, one large and two small, all of which are rammed with loess, about three feet high, and are paved with bluestone slabs, the large ones are located in the middle, the length and width are all ten zhang, and the two small ones are located on both sides, the length and width are three zhang, of which the large ones are used for the main competition, and the two small ones are used for the qualifiers.

According to Zhou Da Steward, there are more than 300 applicants for the Young Dragon List Ring Competition, all of whom are young martial artists skilled in Qingzhou territory, and these more than 300 people need to participate in the knockout round, choose opponents by drawing lots, fight in two small rings, and finally decide the 16 people who win.

In addition, there are sixteen seeded players, including twelve disciples recommended by the four major sects, as well as young masters who are famous in Qingzhou, such as Gao Feng. These people can skip the preliminary round and go directly to the final main event.

The final main match was between the sixteen teenagers and the sixteen seeded players in the preliminary round, and each round was drawn by lot, playing against each other, and the last three people who laughed until the end were the people on the list of this year's young dragons.

......

The four of them came early, and the ring match had not yet been held, so Steward Zhou led them to the north of Wupeng first.

A row of black tents in the north is divided into more than 10 rooms with bamboo curtains, the largest of which is a black tent in the middle, and more than 10 chairs are placed, which are prepared for Zhang Zhun and the officials in the city, on both sides of this black tent, in front of the two black tents next to each other, there are signs of "King Kong Temple" and "Forging Front Hall", and then on both sides are "Rejuvenation Valley" and "Luoying Island", and then on both sides are the local families of Qingzhou and some other small and medium-sized sects.

According to Steward Zhou, the distance of this Wupeng is not arranged at random, and it is closely related to the status of the major forces in Qingzhou.

At this moment, under the Upeng on Luoying Island, there was already an old man in Tsing Yi, and four or five young disciples.

Pang Xie flipped through Baicheng's memories and recognized this old man in Tsing Yi as an uncle from his own sect, named Tian Huaiyuan, who had always been in charge of Langya Mansion, and this time it was Fang Peiyu's bad behavior that arranged for him to attend the Young Dragon List.

"Xiaocheng, Xiaomo, Yaozu, long time no see!" Tian Huaiyuan saw Pang Xie and the others from a distance, and hurriedly got up from his seat and stepped up to greet him.

Tian Huaiyuan's demeanor is natural, there is no meaning of relying on the old and selling the old, although Pang Xie and Mo Falcon are young, they are both congenital masters, although there is a gap in skills, but the realm is the same as him, and he is considered a master of the same level, as for Zhou Da Steward, although he is not familiar with martial arts, he is an indispensable figure in the sect, and his importance is not below him.

"Uncle Tian has always been good!" Pang Xie and Mo Ying laughed together.

"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! I'm fine, how is the senior brother in charge?" Tian Huaiyuan looked concerned.

"Master, his old man has been in good spirits lately. Ponsie said.

"That's good, I got a batch of deer antler velvet from Liaodong a few days ago, and you can bring it back to my senior brother, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart. Tian Huaiyuan said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely. Ponsie nodded repeatedly.

"What is the name of this young hero?" After a few words of greeting, Tian Huaiyuan saw Gao Feng walking with Pang Xie and the others, and couldn't help but ask.

"This is Gao Feng, Gao Shaoxia. Ponsie said.

"Ah, isn't it Gao Feng, who is known as the 'Sky Slashing Sword'?" Tian Huaiyuan asked in surprise.

"It's down there. Gao Feng smiled slightly.

"It's amazing, I've always heard that there is a great young swordsman in our Qingzhou Mansion, and I haven't had a chance to see it, but I didn't expect to see it here today, it's really brilliant!" Tian Huaiyuan had a happy expression.

With his identity, there was no need to do this, although Gao Feng's martial arts were strong and his reputation was high, after all, he was a loose cultivator in the rivers and lakes, and his identity as an elder of his sect could not be compared, but Gao Feng came with Pang Xie, so he also gave Gao Feng enough face.

"Elder Tian is polite!" Gao Feng returned the salute.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Elder Tian is getting younger and younger, I don't know how many concubines he has married?"

"Yaozu, haven't you ever learned fortune-telling, how could you guess that I just married a concubine last month?" Tian Huaiyuan laughed loudly.

"Elder Tian is really old and strong!" Butler Zhou smiled on his face, and secretly muttered in his heart, how could I not know? I only gave you two hundred taels of silver as a congratulatory gift last month.

"Okay, the festival envoy is almost here, let's not talk about it for a while, I will set up a table of wine banquet in Zuiyue Tower tonight, everyone will talk about it later, Gao Shaoxia must also come!" Tian Huaiyuan said loudly.

Pang Xie and the others nodded together, and a few people exchanged a few more pleasantries, Tian Huaiyuan asked Pang Xie and the others to sit down and wait for the convening of the ring match together.

"Baicheng, you come out for me!"

Just as Pang Xie had just sat down and had not yet sat down, there was a sudden angry shout from outside Ubong.

Several people were stunned, they didn't expect someone to provoke Baicheng at this time, this is not only a provocation to him, but also a provocation to Luoying Island.

Tian Huaiyuan's complexion changed suddenly, he turned his head and walked out, and in the next moment, he retreated again, and said with a wry smile: "Senior nephew Bai, you should go out and deal with it!"
