In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the eighth day of the lunar month, the time of the first month. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone is looking forward to it, and the world's high-profile "Ten Counties Lord Contest to Recruit Relatives" conference was finally held in the royal hunting ground of Nanhaizi. Due to the repeated assassination cases before, Chongzhen specially instructed Li Daao and Lu Biao to strengthen their defenses, so that hundreds of forbidden soldiers and brocade guards were surrounded by layers around the altar where Chongzhen was located, and there were also soldiers standing guard beside the various roads in the hunting ground.

But compared to the huge crowd of spectators, the number of soldiers pales in comparison. In order to open up the financial road this time, Chongzhen deliberately opened different levels of viewing seats, including civilian seats, distinguished guest seats, guest seats, relatives and friends seats, and participating seats. In addition to the latter two, all charge corresponding fees, and the price is expensive, Rao is so, still attracted tens of thousands of people to watch, with this alone, Chongzhen has received a million taels of silver, it can be seen that although the taxes are heavy, natural disasters are frequent, there are still many rich people.

Xiao Bei had a gloomy face, and sat with Hongyan on the right side of Chongzhen. Chongzhen was in a very good mood, from time to time there was nothing to say, talking with the two, Hongyan laughed and chanted, and the answer was like a stream, which attracted Chongzhen's dragon face and laughter. Wang Yangming and Xiao Hong were in the same column, in front of the two, and in front of Wang Yangming were Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang, two scholars. On the left side of Chongzhen sat Queen Zhou, Princess Changping, and some noble concubines.

Huang Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stared at the sundial intently, and saw that the time was approaching, and shouted: "The Xuanjun Lord family has entered!"

The voice fell, and the herald passed down one after another, and after a while, I saw two teams appear on both sides of the ring, one team was dressed up in flowers, graceful and atmospheric, and the flag was marked with the Ming Dynasty Zhu family emblem, which was obviously the county lord's side. On the other side, the momentum is like a rainbow, rich and luxurious, with different family emblems on the flag, showing that they are children of the family.

According to the regulations, the county lord and the children of the family who were allowed to enter the arena could only carry no less than five entourage, but these personnel could carry swords for use in the competition. The Prince and the Patriarch of the family sat in a large table of friends and family, away from the ring, and were not allowed to carry weapons.

Xiao Bei's eyes were sharp, and he found that the county lord of Haoyue, the county lord of Mingfeng, and the county lord of Qianqian were ranked first, second, and third on the county lord's side. Behind the Hazy Moon County Lord stood the Purple Yang Dao Leader and two young Daoists. There were five people standing behind the county lord of Qianqian, including Lin Guhong, who was cheating with him. There are only Wang Ruolan and Wang Xiyi behind the county lord of Mingfeng, and it seems that she has a lot of confidence in Xiao Bei, so she did not arrange other manpower.

Wang Yangming leaned into his ear and said, "Although the King of Qin is down, he is still ranked first in terms of the right to inherit the throne. ”

Xiao Bei nodded, his eyes turned to the side of the family again, and after a little search, he found Lu Guanzhong's thin figure, and there were four people standing behind him, including the tomb puppet bride, and the other three were an old husband, a martial artist, and a Confucian student.

Among the other disciples of the family, there are Yuwen Tianzhou, Mingjian Fengyue, Tie Mandao, Hua Zhengxiong, Li Zhongpan and so on.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei's spirits perked up, and he found that Yang Tianchen was standing behind Yuwen Tianzhou, still standing with sadness on his face.

Yang Tianchen...... I can't even see the depth of his martial arts, could it be that he has also practiced the endless body? No...... How can it be so easy?" Xiao said in his heart.

Just as Xiao Bei was looking at Yang Tianchen carefully, a figure with a withered description came into his eyes, and Xiao Bei's heart was suddenly shocked.

I saw Liu Yunjian, or Zhang Sanfeng, shrinking behind the famous sword Fengyue, if you don't look closely, you can't find it.

"Zhang Sanfeng!?What is he doing here?Could it be that the palace master of Jianxiao Palace ordered it?" Xiao Bei thought in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Bei caught a glimpse of the Xuanwu Zen Master, who was like a thin monkey, deaf and blind, sitting on a futon, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Coupled with Li Daoyi, the Ziyang real person on the side of the Lord of Haoyue, the four saints of Wuzhong have gathered together, and there is a good show to watch. Xiao Bei was a little excited.

Vaguely, Xiao Jie felt that a gaze was on him, and he couldn't help but feel strange, searched around, and finally found the source of that gaze in the family queue.

It was a young man, with a pale complexion, clear eyebrows, and long hands and feet, quite similar to himself.

His eyes flashed eagerly, and he was looking at himself intently.

A sense of absurdity welled up in Xiao Bei's heart.

He's seen this man!

In a very early age, perhaps shortly after he was born, perhaps in the midst of his misty and chaotic dreams, this man's face appeared in his mind.

Perhaps it was because of this impression that he asked Hawking to disguise himself as this person in order to participate in the Youth Sword Conference.

"He is Xiao Yan!?" this thought flashed in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Brother Yi, look at the second row of the Forbidden Army on your right. Xiao Bei's ears suddenly heard Zhang Zhinan's voice.

Xiao Bei looked at it as he said, and was overjoyed in his heart, only to see Zhang Zhinan dressed as a forbidden army and standing among the soldiers guarding Chongzhen.

"Brother Yi, what's the matter? You rescued Uncle Luo Tiansheng and Uncle Guan Chuang?" Xiao Bei said.

"This is natural, I knocked out the two jailers, changed their clothes with Luo Guan and the others, locked them in the cell, and lit the sleeping hole, and then led Luo Guan and the others out with a swagger. Now the convention has attracted all the attention, and when the rest of the jailers find that someone has escaped, they are afraid that it will not be until after the congress is over. Zhang Zhi said triumphantly.

"Great, so what's going on with your assassin case? Xiao Bei asked.

"Since everything has been investigated, your apprentice is really amazing, you and I don't have to do anything, just wait and see the excitement. Zhang Zhinan's voice revealed admiration.

Just as the two were talking in a voice, Huang Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shouted: "The time has come, and now please ascend to the altar of the sacrifice today and deliver a congratulatory speech." ”

Chongzhen stood up, slowly climbed the high platform, burned incense to worship the sky, and then said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the Son of Heaven wishes to say, since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded to the pole, and there are four seas. Nowadays, the calendar is weak, and the imperial vein is not prosperous, so the royal family and clan abandon the old and abandon, tie the knot with the world's talents, give birth to an heir, rest and pray for blessings, and extend my great Ming Qi for tens of millions of dollars, and there will never be a ......"

Chongzhen took a breath of relief, and shouted loudly: "I hereby decree that the Ten Regions County Lord Contest will be officially opened!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience thundered, the gongs and drums were noisy, the salute rumbled, and the flowers flew.

After Chongzhen finished saying the congratulatory speech, he slowly walked down from the high platform, returned to his original position and sat down, Wen Tiren stepped forward and patted the horse and said: "The emperor's congratulatory speech is really the first article in the ages, not only the words are exquisite, but also the idea is profound, so that his subordinates are like Daigo empowerment, and they are inexplicably admired, and I believe that they will make the four seas surrender and all countries will come to ......the court."

Chongzhen said: "Okay, I know, Fairy Hongyan, what do you think of my congratulations?"

Hong Yanxiu frowned slightly, and said: "Back to the emperor, the little girl thinks that the words of this greeting are too worded, and it is difficult to understand, and it is appropriate to talk to the ministers on weekdays, but most of the people are shallow in knowledge, how can they understand? For example, I can hear it in a fog, and I don't understand it." ”

Chongzhen laughed and said, "The Hongyan Fairy is quick to talk and outspoken, and I admire it very much." ”

At this time, Chongzhen's nine-year-old daughter, Princess Changping, stood up and said in a childish voice: "Oh, that fox woman, she actually bewitched the people and seduced her father, but she is really a person who has fallen over the country and the city, and brought disaster to the country and the people. Father, the child begs you to stay away from women and serve the people diligently, so it is better to drive this woman away from this banquet!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color, only Hongyan looked at Princess Changping with bright eyes, and said: "Princess Xie praised, you said that I am good-looking, I am very happy." ”

Princess Changping was stunned and wanted to argue, but Queen Zhou hurriedly hugged her and said, "The child is ignorant, the fairy is not strange." ”

Hong Yan smiled and nodded frequently, without any surprise.

Xiao Bei was irritable and almost wanted to leave the table, but he was afraid that Hongyan would blame him, so he had to turn his head away and turn a deaf ear.

At this time, Huang Jin said in a loud voice: "The rules for recruiting relatives in martial arts competitions are hereby promulgated, and the disciples of all families listen to the order. ”

After that, he opened a holy decree and said: "Rule 1: The purpose of this conference is to value peace, so if you can not use force, you will not use force." It can be compared to literary brilliance and skills, and if you have to use force, you need to point to the end.

Rule 2: The competition is played between the two families, and the winner advances to the next round until the final winner is determined. ”

Rule 3: The competition can be played by the children of the family themselves, or they can send someone to act as an agent, as long as they can show the strength of the family.

Rule 4: The county lord has the right to choose a son-in-law, so he can ask questions at will between the competitions. However, the desired person can only be announced after all the competitions are over.

Rule 5: If more than one county lord chooses the same family, it can be resolved through negotiation, and if it is really impossible to reconcile, it can also be decided by sending a martial artist to compete in martial arts.

Rule 6: All adjudication power rests with the Emperor.
