The banquet lasted for a while and then dispersed.

After Lu Xuanming glared at Li Wuchang fiercely, he took the lead in leaving, and Zhang Yanbo also left in a hurry, and it is estimated that he will discuss with Lu Xuanming what conspiracy to deal with Li Wuchang.

Lu Xuandong and Li Wuchang said a few more words, the general meaning, today is a misunderstanding, so Li Wuchang doesn't have to take it to heart, and then left with a vote of son.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, and Jiang Minglun were left behind.

Li Wuchang looked at Jiang Minglun and said, "Minglun, if you want to give Lu Xuanming a yin, I will be the first to go, you don't have to think about what the impact is." ”

Zhao Xun said fiercely: "I'm the second, Minglun, you must say it bluntly if you have any ideas, everyone is a brother, and we definitely support you, today Lu Xuan is really excessive." ”

Jiang Minglun was silent.

Zhao Xun said again: "Minglun, you also saw that you almost made a move just now, don't you treat you and me as brothers? ”

Jiang Minglun was very moved when he saw the two of them so righteous, but he knew the severity, waved his hand, and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little angry, just listen to the dog barking, let's think about the martial arts conference for now, or don't provoke Lu Xuanming first, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

After a pause, he added, "If I have any ideas, I will definitely ask you to come forward." ”

Li Wuchang nodded at this time and said, "It's okay, there are three days left in the martial arts conference, I don't care, you still have to prepare well, don't be distracted first, and find an opportunity to yin him in the future." ”

After Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo went back, they were very angry.

It is unimaginable that Li Wuchang dared to be so unsympathetic and speak so presumptuous in front of so many people, this is no longer something that a stunned young man can describe him.

"You can't just forget it, Third Highness, he Li Wuchang has made it clear that he doesn't take you seriously!" Zhang Yanbo looked at Lu Xuanming, trying to further provoke his anger.

Lu Xuanming snorted coldly: "I don't know what the second brother likes about him, and he is so polite to him." ”

His eyes rolled, and he continued: "Don't move him first, there are three days before the martial arts conference, let him Li Wuchang be as treacherous as a ghost, it is an indisputable fact that he can't do martial arts, and then we can just watch the jokes." ”

Zhang Yanbo said fiercely: "I have inquired, if he can't pass three rounds, he will be thrown to Jizhou by his father, with the strength of my Zhang family in the army, it is easy to kill him, take a step back, even if I don't make a move, there are Khitans to clean him up." ”

Lu Xuanming smiled, secretly thinking that this was the best.

......

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were not distracted in the past three days, and they both hid in Xuanpingfang to practice hard, learn from the past, and prepare for the martial arts conference.

It is said that there are no more than 10,000 people who have signed up this time, all of whom are young people who are no more than twenty-five years old, and talented people from the land of Kyushu.

There were a lot more people this time than in previous martial arts conferences.

Some people are going to Jizhou for the war, in recent years, Jizhou is now seriously short of people, many people want to take this opportunity to find a position, go to Jizhou, see if they can fight, fight a good background.

The top hundreds have the opportunity to be selected for military positions.

There are also some people who are going to the Martial Arts Pavilion, and the number of places in the Martial Arts Pavilion this year is also much higher than in previous years, reaching thirty, that is to say, entering the top thirty will have the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion.

What a great opportunity.

Han Dazhi sneakily came over again, and brought a lot of forbidden drugs to Li Wuchang, which was the kind of Qi Dispersing Pill, and said that after the lottery, the list of the two opponents would be taken out.

Because it was his father Han Guang who presided over the martial arts conference, Han Dazhi still had a way.

If Li Wuchang doesn't want to expose his martial arts and wants to get through the three rounds, of course, he will inevitably play some tricks, know the opponent in advance, and take the opportunity to lure him to see if he can make the opponent abstain.

If the opponent doesn't agree, Li Wuchang really wants to give the opponent a little qi dispersing pill.

For the Martial Arts Pavilion, although Li Wuchang is also very yearning, he is self-aware, even if he does not hide his martial arts, he has no chance, only thirty places.

There are many young masters in Chang'an City, and there are also many in other places, and there are countless big families and gangs in the land of Dayan and Kyushu, and it is natural for each to cultivate a few elite children.

However, I haven't heard of people with the strength of the seventh grade, but there are several peaks of the sixth grade, which should be the highest grade of this competition.

In fact, there are not a few seven products under the age of twenty-five in the entire Central Plains.

A few days ago, I heard Li Wuchang hear his eldest brother Li Wufeng say that he was about to break through, but there was no movement for a long time, Guo Yunlei had already reached the peak of the sixth grade, and the breakthrough was far away.

Most of the contestants are below the fifth grade, they are the children of nobles, or young people who simply want to come and see it, and the number accounts for more than eighty percent.

The rest, mostly about five grades, have stepped on the initial bottleneck of martial arts practitioners, and the number of people accounts for about 20%.

The number of people above the sixth grade is very small, it should be less than 50 people, and with the scale of tens of thousands of people participating in this competition, it is really terrifying that there is no one in a hundred.

Li Wuchang just listened to these rumors, and he didn't really care about them, he was busy advertising these days.

He contacted the organizer and offered to provide a large amount of silver sponsorship, asking that as long as a banner was hung next to the venue during the competition, with the names of Dongli Restaurant and Lu Kee on it.

Li Wuchang is skillful and generous, and he has the signboard of Li Mansion, which is smooth sailing.

Lu Ji made out various banners, and when the time came, the fat bear led people to hang them in various competition venues.

Three days went by in a flash.

The quadrennial martial arts tournament is finally about to begin.

The venue of the game is in the huge square in the imperial city, there are many rings in the square, there are referee seats next to it, and there are also spectator seats for people to sit and watch.

Security was the responsibility of the Janissaries.

The first day of the contest was a draw, and the contestants were drawn in person.

Tens of thousands of people are divided into a group, more than 1,000 people in each group, the game does not count the means, a set to determine the winner, defeat once to eliminate, each group to pick out the last eight people for the final competition.

In the end, thirty people are selected to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion, or practice moves, or select weapons, or challenge the masters in the Martial Arts Pavilion to obtain other rewards, such as the Protector Pill, and then the materials for crafting weapons.

There are more than 1,000 people in each group, a total of 10 rounds, and at least seven opponents in a row to enter the top eight, which is very difficult.

Li Wuchang was assigned to the fifth group, and when he came to the lottery venue, he met many acquaintances, all of whom were the sons of Chang'an City, Han Dazhi and Zhang Yanbo were also there.

"Brother Impermanence, you are also in the fifth group, so the little brother will not be lonely now. ”

"Brother Impermanence, our old brothers are all in the fifth group, what a fate. ”

"The little brother was strange just now, why the old guys have arrived, and the impermanence of the old brother is not there, now it's okay, all of them are here, and no one is left behind. ”

When all fox friends saw Li Wuchang, they greeted him enthusiastically, and Li Wuchang also responded one by one.

"Stunned, what's wrong, why are we all in a group?" Han Dazhi pulled Li Wuchang aside and asked.

"Something is wrong?" asked Li Wuchang rhetorically.

Han Dazhi pulled Li Wuchang down to a corner, and said softly: "Look, none of these gentlemen in Chang'an City have come to the fifth group, and ah, the others are not good birds, they are all from major families in other places, do you say the court did it on purpose?"

Li Wuchang said: "It's all a fool? ”

Han Dazhi replied: "Anyway, there are hundreds of people, at least half, alas, it's troublesome now." ”

Li Wuchang smiled: "We should be happy, I don't know if these people are in a group, martial arts are half a bucket of water, let's pass the test easily." ”

Han Dazhi cut off and said, "Just rely on my three-legged cat? Just rely on your three-legged cat?...... It's wrong, you're not a three-legged cat at all, don't blame my brother for speaking straight, even if these people are half-witted in martial arts, it's more than enough to deal with you. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Moreover, most of these people have backgrounds, even if we can know in advance who the opponent is, the coercion and temptation plan may not be effective for them." ”

Li Wuchang also lowered his voice and said, "Isn't there still a trick of the Qi Dispersing Pill?"

Han Dazhi gritted his teeth and said, "That's the only way, after the draw is over, I'll find a chance to go to my father to get the names of our opponents, and see if I can find a chance to ask them out and give them a shot." ”

Lots are drawn next.

Li Wuchang drew No. 583, according to the rules, the opponent is No. 584, but now I don't know who the other party is, because after the draw, the referee will record it, and the contestants only know their own numbers, and Li Wuchang's game is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Han Dazhi drew the number 356, which is a relatively high number, and the game will be tomorrow morning.

After the draw, the two met, Li Wuchang told Han Dazhi the number, Han Dazhi said that after waiting, he would find an excuse to go to his father's yamen to see, and secretly find the list of opponents while his father was eating.

Li Wuchang was happy to be pure, and after smoking, he went to Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun was placed in the second group, and Jiang Minglun was placed in the seventh group.

Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong also teamed up, and happened to meet Li Wuchang and his gang.

Zheng Wenlong said with a smile: "I am also the seventh group, it seems that I am going to compete with the Minglun brothers, if I meet the younger brother, I hope that the Minglun brothers will be merciful, let me lose better." ”

Jiang Minglun's skill has stayed at the middle level of the sixth grade for a while, and Zheng Wenlong has just stepped into the middle level of the sixth grade, so if the two meet, Zheng Wenlong should be slightly inferior.

Jiang Minglun said that he didn't dare to be.

Zhou Chengwang sighed and said, "Damn, I was actually assigned to the first group, according to convention, the first group is generally the group of death, and the masters are like clouds." ”

Li Wuchang cut through and said, "You also have the strength of the sixth-rank intermediate level, even if you enter the group of death, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Zhou Chengwang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you Li Wuchang, you don't have back pain when you stand and talk, if you meet a six-rank peak master like your eldest brother in the first round, I won't die?"

Li Wuchang laughed and said: "Then I wish Brother Zhou the first round to meet one of the five sons of Chang'an, either Su Ming of the Su family, or the stupid eldest brother Han Dade, and the prince of Shu, or the Yangzhou monster Mu Tianfeng." ”

Mu Tianfeng from Yangzhou is a ruthless character, at the level of the fifth prince of Chang'an, and has a high reputation.

Listening to Li Wuchang's gloating words, everyone laughed.

Only Zhou Chengwang still had a bitter gourd face.
