In February of the following year, it was already a bright spring day at the bottom of the mountain, but the snow on Wufeng Mountain was still a piece of ice and snow, as if time had been frozen, and every moment passed extremely slowly.

On the second day of the second month of February, the ox rushes to the tiger, it is advisable to sacrifice, accept the alliance, meet relatives and friends, do not take the rest, and avoid all things.

Zhao Keming led everyone to stand on the top of the peak, Fu Bo and Aunt Fu were still standing aside with their burdens as when they came, Zhao Lin, Ding Pei, and Zhong Bao stood on Zhao Keming's left side in turn, Shen Yao, Lei Hat, and Li Yuanqing stood on Zhao Keming's right side, and everyone was waiting.

Waiting for Nan Ming's envoy from the Fire Sword Department!

In the distance, two black dots appeared on the winding dragon-like plank road up the mountain, and the speed was extremely fast, and a few rabbits had already swept to the top of the mountain.

Two middle-aged men, dressed in black crane cloaks and mink fur hats, walked towards everyone with square steps and majesty.

Zhao Keming stepped forward with a smile, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Welcome to the two envoys!"

"Master Zhao has been waiting for a long time, and he is still a little late in a hurry. The slightly chubby envoy returned the salute with a fist.

"It's the beginning of the hour, why don't you say it's late!" Zhao Keming continued to compliment: "The two envoys just used such a glittering figure, which really opened Zhao's eyes. ”

"It's not a great way to do it, this is the sword department specially prepared for us to go out on business all year round, called Shen Xingbu, to put it bluntly, it is to run fast. Another envoy added with a look of displeasure on his face.

Zhao Keming raised his hand to invite and said, "The two envoys, please have a cup of hot tea!"

"No need, the servants of the head of Zhao have already laid the baggage, just wait for the two of us to choose the new disciples, so let's go down the mountain and drink flower wine!" said the slightly chubby envoy with sharp eyes and a careful heart.

Zhao Keming scolded secretly in his heart: "Two dogs dare to be so arrogant, if you don't take care of the face of the branch, you two will be looking for teeth all over the ground!"

Zhao Keming said with a smile on his lips: "The servant doesn't know anything, and he still hopes for the envoy Haihan." He turned his head and yelled at Fu Bo: "Shame on you, why don't you hurry up and take care of the back kitchen and wash the dust for the envoy!"

Aunt Fu Bofu had no choice but to say, "The old slave will go and prepare." ”

"No need, Lao Wu and I have already had breakfast at the bottom of the mountain this morning, and we are eating pig's feet in Zhenxiong sour soup, and we are very hungry, let's start." The slightly chubby envoy said.

"Yes, let's take a look at your proud disciples first, for two consecutive years, we have sent some miscellaneous disciples to the branch to see if you can teach one or two outer disciples this year. The envoy surnamed Wu spoke more harshly, and he didn't look at the blue and red changes on Zhao Keming's face at all.

"You!" Zhao Keming was finally angry, but it was not easy to attack.

"What am I, my brothers' martial arts are not below you, even if they are in your Nanguang County, what can they do to me?" The slightly chubby envoy was calculating, for fear that Zhao Keming would really make a move, after all, it was not Dali City, the helmsman of the Nanming Fire Sword Department, so he took the lead in gaining momentum.

"Hmph, even if you can defeat one against two, is it possible that you can still beat the sword department's envoy, this is the first time that the entire Nanming has ever been away from the fire sword department!"

"It's too much to deceive people! Let's go together!" Zhao Lin took the lead in pulling out the giant sword behind his back, and clasped his hands across his chest.

"Boom, boom, boom!" the six long swords unsheathed.

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Keming shouted, worthy of being a veteran of the scene, Zhao Keming quickly calmed down the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why should the two envoys care about Zhao's tricks, we are all working for the Nanming Lihuo Sword Department, all in order to strengthen the strength of the Sword Department, and also ask the special envoy Haihan to play one or two, Zhao Keming will not dare to play these tricks in front of the envoy in the future." ”

"What's the matter?, that's it, let's gossip, let's start!" The fat envoy finally stopped caring, no matter the scale or bearing, it should be enough, after all, Zhao Keming is still the head of a faction.

"You are polite, in Xia Chengming, he is one of the eight envoys of Nanming from the Fire Sword Department. The slightly chubby envoy was the first to speak.

"In Xia Wu Xu, he is also one of the eight envoys of the Nanming Fire Sword Department, responsible for the pick-up and drop-off of the new disciples of the Nanming Fire Sword Department in the northeast of Yunnan Yunnan, if any of you are selected by us today, you will have to leave Nanguang County with us immediately, and prepare to return to the Sword Department to participate in the new disciple entrance assessment, if you pass the assessment, you can get family leave to return here after a month, if you are not selected by us, you can go down the mountain with your master today. ”

Everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, and no one paid attention to what the envoy Wu Xu said.

"The assessment of the Nanming Lihuo Sword Department, even if the best disciples of each sect are selected, they will become the assessment and registered disciples of the Nanming Lihuo Sword Ministry, in the process of your written examination, I and Deputy Envoy Wu will observe the assessment, there are still two pending places, depending on the talent and potential you showed during the competition, you can win face for me and Vice Envoy Wu in the Sword Ministry, naturally we will go all out to recommend and escort. After Cheng Ming finished speaking, everyone looked at these two narrow-minded envoys again, they actually had so much power in their hands, no wonder they could be so arrogant.

Everyone didn't know that such an envoy had a very low status among the Nanming Fire Sword Sect, only slightly higher than some ordinary outer disciples, but this is a later story.

"That's right, I and Cheng Zhuan are your chief examiners today, and I think the six of you are the six best disciples of the Iron Sword Sect this year!"

"The six of you listen to me, be sure to show your talent and hard work, in addition to the last winner, there are two places to see your own efforts and hard work, whether you can get the favor of the envoy is all up to you. Zhao Keming warned the disciples to work hard to show their own style, and on the other hand, he did not forget to flatter the envoy.

Special envoy Cheng Ming said: "I see that there is no shortage of good materials for you to select and send these six people this year, so let's have a good show of catching and fighting first!"

"Well, yes, the eldest vs. the youngest, the second vs. the fifth, the third vs. the fourth, so it's fairer for the next round of competition. Special envoy Wu Xu said.

"Master Zhao, you know best how your apprentices are skilled in martial arts, and you will order the soldiers and generals and arrange the order of the battle. Cheng Ming said to Zhao Keming.

"Envoy wait a minute!" Zhao Keming turned to look at the six of them and continued: "Zhao Lin is against Li Yuanqing, Zhong Bao is against Lei, and Ding Pei is against Shen Yao. ”

"Uncle Fu, move two sandalwood Taishi chairs out of the house, and Aunt Fu will go to the study to get two taels of 'green mountains and green waters'. ”
