Volume 1: The Chosen Boy Chapter 72: Yanxing City

Just ten days have passed, and the time for the Youth Martial Arts Competition is about to come, and on this day, in Nanyue City, two thousand guards who are ready to go are neatly arranged outside the City Lord's Mansion in Nanyue City.

At this time, the city lord Tang Qi and an old man in a gorgeous blue robe slowly walked out of the mansion, and then the two got into the carriage.

"Let's go!"

The brigade walked out of Nanyue City in a mighty way.

"Grandpa Ye, I see that there are several young people in front of me, could it be that these people are also going to participate in the martial arts competition?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Hehe, that's right, in addition to the three people of the Sun family's faction, "Sun Hongyun, Sun Hongyi, Sun Hongze," there are also a few people, all of whom are the juniors of the Nanyue City City Lord's Mansion, as well as the juniors of the generals of Nanyue City! Ye Nantian said with a smile.

"Oh, I see, I thought that the descendants of the Sun clan and our Ye clan would go to participate!" Zhou Yan laughed.

In just five days, a large group of people came to the "city of Yanxing".

Yanxing City Huangyanguo has a population of tens of millions, is located in the middle of Huangyanguo, is the most prosperous city of Huangyanguo's economic system and commercial transportation hub, and there are ancient pavilions and pavilions everywhere in the city, it is the second largest city in Huangyanguo.

The city lord of Yanxing City, "Nangong Jinglong" is only 60 years old, the peak realm of the late martial arts, only one step away from entering the martial arts championship, but how can the martial arts winning realm be so easy to break through, Nangong Jinglong was also talented when he was young, he entered the middle stage of martial arts at the age of 16, and entered the late stage of martial arts at the age of 36, and then relied on his own strength to stand out from the descendants of the family and inherited the heavy responsibility of his father to protect Yanxing City. The Nangong clan is even more grateful to the national grace of Huang Yanguo, and they have also taken it as their responsibility to guard Yanxing City for generations, and they are the most trusted clan of the lord of Huang Yanguo.

"It's here, it's finally here, Yanxing City is worthy of being the second largest city in Huang Yanguo, it's really extraordinary, even the city walls are more than five zhang high!" Zhou Yan exclaimed. (Note: 1 zhang = 3.333 meters (m), 5 zhang = 16.666 meters (m) about the height of a five- to six-story building.) )

"Lord Qiqi City, Yanxing City has arrived!"

"Well, you tell me to go down and have the guards stationed outside the city!" Tang Qi commanded.

Then the city lord Tang Qi took Zhou Yan and the young juniors who participated in the big competition into Yanxing City.

"Report! Qi Qi City Lord, Nanyue City Lord Tang Qi is here. ”

"Where?

"No need, Tang is already here, hahaha!" Tang Qi was dressed in golden armor and strode into the hall of the Yanxing City City Lord's Mansion.

"Oh, Lord Tang, I'm looking forward to you, the Yan City Lord of Yanyi City can come two days earlier than you, please take a seat!" Nangong Jinglong, the City Lord of Yanxing City.

"Oh, Lord Yan is already here, where is it?" Tang Qi said.

"Lord Yancheng is resting in the post house, I will send someone to inform him later, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two adults tonight!" Nangong Jinglong laughed heartily.

"Then there is Brother Lao Nangong!"

At night, a bright moon hung in the air like a silver plate, the stars were shining, and the city lord's mansion of Yanxing City held a banquet at this time, washing the dust for the two two city lords who came from afar.

At this time, after receiving the notice, all the local officials, large and small, rushed to attend the banquet.

"Brother Tang, your Nanyue City is getting worse and worse than before!" Why is there only a dozen people participating this time, you look at the juniors of our Swallow Wing City, this time I sent as many as thirty, "Hahaha!"

"Brother Yan's words are wrong! Not necessarily because Brother Yan sends a large number of people, he must have an advantage. "Brother Yan, you and I are both generals guarding a city, and we both understand this truth. As the saying goes: "There are not many soldiers, but fine." It will not be brave, but plotting. "If there are more people, it will not necessarily have an advantage, but it is likely to become a burden!"

"Hahaha!" Brother Tang, you are still sharp-toothed, and Yan will not defend you. Don't arrive, the people from the Tang Brother Sect can't even get into the top fifty! Yan Hongbo laughed.

"Hmph!" Tang Qi's face changed and he didn't pay attention to it.

Seeing this, Nangong Jinglong hurriedly picked up a bowl of wine and stood up.

"Two city lords, let's not talk about these things first, come, I'll toast you two with a bowl of wine!" Immediately, the local officials gathered on the side also stood up and toasted the two city lords.

"The three of them raised their heads and drank down!"

"Brother Nangong, I heard that new rules have been added to this year's Martial Arts Competition?" Tang Qi asked.

"Exactly!" "Exactly!" "This year, unlike usual, in addition to the young juniors brought by our three major cities to participate in the martial arts competition, this year is also open to registration, as long as the young martial arts masters are not more than 25 years old, no matter where they come from, they can come to sign up.

"Oh, how did I hear that the reward of this big competition has also changed? Brother Nangong might as well tell us about it?" Tang Qi asked.

"Don't hide it from the two city lords, in fact, this year's martial arts competition is controlled by the current country lord himself behind the scenes!" said Nangong Jinglong raised his hand and clenched his fists into the air and said respectfully.

"Oh, the lord himself?"

"Hehe, that's right, it is the current lord of the country, and the lord of the country has also increased the reward of the first class to five million taels of silver, which is more than ten times more than in previous years. Let's think about it, Huang Yanguo's annual treasury income is only 50 million taels of silver, but this time, the reward directly given by the lord to the first class is 5 million taels of silver, which is 5 million taels of silver, which is one-tenth of the income of the entire Huang Yanguo in a year, but the rewards for the rest of the rankings have not changed, and the lord has only changed the reward of the first class. ”

"What, five million taels of silver?" Tang Qi and Yan Hongbo said in surprise.

"Hahaha!" I didn't expect the two city lords to be so surprised, when I received the holy order from the lord of the country, I also had the same expression as the two of them, as for why the lord of the country did this, the city lord can't reveal it for the time being. Nangong Jinglong said with a smile.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, you'll know sooner or later anyway, come, drink!"

On the second day, Yanxing City was very lively, and many young martial arts juniors came from all over the place to sign up.

"Grandpa Ye, why are there so many people participating in the martial arts competition?" Zhou Yan asked.

"This, I don't know very well, in previous years, it was a big competition brought by the three city lords, but I didn't expect that this martial arts competition was actually made public, in this way, but there will be many masters in this big competition, can Yan'er have the confidence to win the crown in one fell swoop?" Ye Nan Tiandao.

"Grandpa Ye, this crown is sure to win, and I'm very excited now, I really hope that the martial arts competition will start earlier, so that I can meet all kinds of masters to compare, which is also one of the purposes of my coming this time, I want to hone myself, I am excited when I think about it now!" Zhou Yan said excitedly.

After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Ye Nantian looked at Zhou Yan's excited and expectant face, and felt something in his heart, this is self-confidence, this is the proof of strength. If his martial arts cultivation is as strong as Zhou Yan's, then what worries do he have. The crown of the little martial arts competition, isn't it easy to catch. Ye Nantian smiled again, this Yan'er is indeed a demonic genius, this has to be admitted, but at this time he is not worried about Zhou Yan, but about the three juniors Ye Yuan, Ye Wu, and Ye Long standing behind him.

"The three of you participating in this big competition, you must be careful, you must not be brave for a while, if you are not defeated by the opponent, you will admit defeat directly, you must not be injured, it should be regarded as an experience!" Ye Nantian turned around and said.

"Grandpa, don't worry, if my three brothers are not defeated by their opponents, they will surrender and admit defeat as soon as possible, and they will never give their opponents a chance!" Ye Yuan, Ye Wu, and Ye Long bowed down at the same time and replied.

At this moment, suddenly, in the middle of the crowd, several people in blue clothes shouted in the crowd: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Alas, alas, didn't you hear what Lao Tzu said clearly? You old thing, hurry up and get out of the way for me, don't you see our young master coming? Good dogs don't get in the way!" Ye Nantian was pushed aside by a man in blue clothes.

"What are you doing, why are you pushing my grandfather?" Zhou Yan said angrily.

"What kind of wind blew your dog thing out, what's wrong with pushing your grandfather?"

"Hmph, what's wrong with pushing my grandfather, hurry up and apologize to my grandfather, otherwise it will be ......!" Zhou Yan's face was angry, staring at the few blue-clad humanists in front of him.

"Hehe, I told them to push it, what can you do with me!" said a man in a yellow robe, who walked over and scorned.

"Tell you, our young master, but the patriarch of the Wu family's first-class martial arts family in Qingshan City, wants my son-in-law to apologize to this old thing, are you crazy, hurry up and get out of the way for me!" shouted a few of the dog-fighting subordinates.

When Zhou Yan heard this, he immediately remembered something, could it be that they were from the Wu family in Qingshan City? This is really a narrow road, the more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and angrily pulled out the Xuanyan Sky Breaking Sword behind him, and was about to do it.

At this moment, Ye Nantian grabbed Zhou Yan's arm, and then under Ye Nantian's persuasion, several people returned to the post station.

"Grandpa Ye, why don't you let me teach those people a lesson. Zhou Yan said dissatisfied.

"There are a lot of people, if you want to do it, it's not good, in case of trouble, we can't explain it to Lord Tang, I think he will also participate in the big competition, it's better for you to wait until the ring to teach him a lesson." ”

"Hmph, I'll spare him for the time being, and I'll make him look good when I wait until the ring match. Zhou Yan said.

Just two days have passed, and in these two days, Zhou Yan and several people have been resting in the post house, and they have not gone out one step further, and the day of Dabi has finally arrived, Zhou Yan is extremely excited, with the summons of Tang Qi, the city lord of Nanyue City, Zhou Yan and his party all came to the outside of the post station.

"Today is the day of the Youth Martial Arts Competition, the city lord will take you to the martial arts venue, all of you will give me spiritual points, you must not lose the face of my young juniors in Nanyue City, do you hear clearly!"

With the shouts of more than a dozen people, more than a dozen people from Zhou Yan and his entourage who participated in the martial arts competition, under the leadership of "Tang Qi, the city lord of Nanyue City", came to the viewing platform of the martial arts competition.
