Xuan Qingzi led more than 20 Qingcheng disciples to Taiji Square, and the Taoist of Shangqing went to greet him. Yue Fei and Wushan gathered nine masters and then arrived, and Zhen Yue stepped forward to greet the guests. The abbot of the town led more than ten Shaolin monks to Taiji Square, and Master Zhikong went to meet. After half an hour, the Tianzhu Mountain was full of people, waiting for the heroes of the rivers and lakes to begin.

Ye Feng walked to Pan Ning's side and said with a smile: "Sixth master, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss a lot here." ”

Pan Ning pretended to be unremitting and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, Ye Daxia is still so frivolous." Dare you ask, how much do you miss me?"

Ye Feng said with a smile: "The six masters criticize, but my thoughts about the six masters are like my attachment to fine wine." ”

Ye Feng took a step forward and said with a smile: "In my wine bag, there is good wine, six masters, do you want to take a sip?"

Pan Ning didn't answer, but took the wine bag, lifted the cork, and drank it all.

Ten steps away, Li Lianyu saw this, and secretly laughed in her heart: "You have to flirt with other people's six masters, I see how you can endure your alcohol addiction for a while." ”

Ye Feng exclaimed: "The six masters have a good amount of alcohol! If you are not with you, you will retire first, and you will come back to talk to the six masters in the future." ”

Li Lianyu walked in front of Pan Ning and said with a smile: "The wine bag is empty, Ye Feng must have gone to pour wine, pity the Shangqing people, the treasured wine for many years, I am afraid that Ye Feng will drink it all in the past few days." ”

Pan Ning couldn't help laughing, but when he saw Cai Jing walking into the central ring, Pan Ning said, "Mrs. Yang, look." ”

Cai Jingdao: "Today is a big day for martial arts, and I would like to thank all my martial arts friends for coming to Tianzhu Mountain." Respectfully present the Holy Decree of our Emperor. ”

Everyone in the audience was looking forward to it, and they didn't know what Zhao Ji wanted to say.

Zhen Yue said softly: "Cai Jingding is uneasy and kind in the name of the Son of Heaven. ”

Cai Jing said: "Tianzhu sent everyone to receive the order. ”

Zhen Yue, Shangqing Daochang, Mo Ruqiu, He Yunyan and others knelt down and waited for Cai Jing to announce the decree.

Cai Jing read out the edict and said, "Your Majesty." Inheriting the Mandate of Heaven, revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State declined. The Northern Expedition of the United Kingdom, the military and the people worked together, worked together to restore the land, gathered heroes in Tianzhu, chose the commander to go out of Yanyun, and succeeded the ancestors. Yang Da Song Wei. Please dedicate the book to the heroes and protect the eternity of the society. ”

Zhen Yue said: "If the heroes of the rivers and lakes can choose a wise commander of the Northern Expedition Jianghu Army this time, Zhen Yue is willing to present the first volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers". ”

As soon as Zhen Yue's words came out, everyone cast expectant looks.

Cai Jing said: "I believe that Zhen Yixian loves the country and the people, and he will definitely not violate the holy decree." ”

Offstage, Yin Suqiao shouted: "Prime Minister, dare to ask what the rules of this ring competition are?"

Cai Jingdao: "In the first round, everyone is free to choose their opponents in the four small rings, and the winner enters the next round. The second round and beyond. The opponent was decided by drawing lots, and the person who finally won the crown became the commander of the Northern Expedition Jianghu Army, and won the first volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers" and the fourth volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers". ”

The Venerable Master said: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Cai, if it is not a person from the Great Song Dynasty, what should he do if he wins the martial champion this time?"

Cai Jing said: "Hearing what the national teacher said, my emperor has already made arrangements. Our emperor has a saying: If a person from another country wins the laurels. He was given the fourth volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers". The position of commander of the Jianghu Army and the first volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers" will be obtained by the Song people who are at the top of the ranking. ”

The Venerable Master said: "Emperor Song's arrangement is also reasonable. ”

Zhen Yue said softly: "The first round is to choose your opponent. Naturally, the same door or friends will not take the initiative to fight, this move will definitely attract enemies to fight hard, Cai Jing is really vicious with his intentions. ”

Li Lianyu said softly: "Increasing the grudges between people in the rivers and lakes and weakening the strength of martial arts will be conducive to the imperial court ruling the whole country." ”

Cai You walked into the central ring and said, "Please go to the hero list to leave a big name on the hero list if you want to fight today." ”

Shangqing Dao said: "Ruqiu, Yunyan." The two of you represent the Heavenly Pillar Faction in the war. There are many masters today, don't be strong. ”

Mo Ruqiu said, "Yes, Master." ”

He Yunyan said: "Yes, master." ”

Zhang Qingyuan looked at Yang Linhao's expectant eyes and said, "Little apprentice." Be careful. ”

Yang Linhao walked to the hero list, picked up a brush and left his name.

Wanyan Zonghan and Li Lianyu walked at the same time from both sides of the hero list, and Wanyan Zonghan said: "I heard from Zhen Yixian early that Mrs. Yang has outstanding martial arts. ”

Li Lianyu said with a smile: "Lianyu has also heard of General Zong Han, General Zong Han is like a god, I hope that Lianyu has the honor to lead the Northern Expedition to cooperate with you." ”

Zhen Yue saw the names of thirty-two people written on the hero list, in addition to Li Lianyu, Mo Ruqiu, Yang Linhao, Qin Yi, Kang Baili, He Yunyan, Yue Fei seven people, there are still four people from the imperial court: Cai Jing, Li Bangyan, Cai You, Yu Zhiwei, Wushan Ji six people: Qu Lianfeng, Master Chengqian, Zhong Hanshan, Su Sheng, Pan Ning, Tong Xianglan, Hangzhou Guizhuang Xia Yangtian one, Qingcheng faction Xuan Qingzi one, Xuantianmen Lu Jinghong one, Bizhumen Shui Han one, Lishuiwu Jiang Xiao one, Lingnan Yinfu Yin Su Qiao, Yin Su Qian, Qi Yunguan Qiu Sihai one, Xia Guo Cao Fuqing, Li Liangfu two, Jin Guo Wanyan Zonghan one, Tubo State Shengwen Venerable Master, Dujue Venerable Master, Lotus Venerable Master and Tianshan Old Monster.

Everyone is thinking about who to choose as their opponent in the first round.

The Venerable Master said: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Cai, the three poor monks and brothers have always advanced and retreated together, can the three of us fight at the same time?"

Cai Jing said: "The meaning of the national teacher is not impossible, but it also requires the three of them to go into battle to fight with you and others." ”

The Venerable Master said: "Since this is the case, the poor monk and brother will go forward first." ”

The Venerable Master, the Venerable Master, and the Lotus Venerable Master flew into the ring in the northeast corner. The Venerable Master said, "Please come and teach the heroes." ”

Everyone in the audience did not want to meet the masters of the rivers and lakes in the first round, and most of the people in the Central Plains were not very familiar with the Tubo martial arts routines, and they could not meet the requirements of the three of them to fight at the same time.

Zhong Hanshan said: "Master, fourth brother, do you dare to fight with me on stage?"

Master Cheng Qian smiled: "Why don't you dare?"

Qu Lianfeng said: "The kung fu of the three monks is not weak, the master, the third brother, the fourth brother, the three of you need to be careful." ”

Master Cheng Qian, Zhong Hanshan, and Su Sheng jumped into the ring and fought against the Venerable Master, the Master of Dujue, and the Venerable Lotus.

Yin Suqiao said: "Since the three Tubo national teachers are fighting together, why can't my two brothers fight side by side?"

Seeing Yin Suqiao and Yin Suqian walking into the ring in the northwest corner, Qin Yi said: "These two people are among the crowd, and their kung fu should be second-rate, Lianyu, you and I might as well go to the stage to fight, in order to achieve a quick victory and preserve internal strength." ”

Li Lianyu said: "My aunt's intention is exactly what I want. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Lianyu and Qin Yi flew into the ring.

Wanyan Zonghan walked into the ring in the southeast corner and said: "I have heard that there are many heroes in the Great Song Dynasty martial arts, and today I want to have a good life." I also invited the heroes in the audience to come to the stage to give advice. ”

Yue Fei walked into the ring with a gun and said: "Pengju has heard that General Zonghan is wise and powerful, and he has led the army to attack Liao and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "This young man, I think you are extraordinary, and you will definitely do a lot in the future." ”

After Li Liangfu saw Yan Zonghan on stage, he immediately stepped into the ring in the southwest corner and said: "Li Liangfu of Xia Kingdom came to the stage to offer ugliness. ”

Pan Ning flew up to the ring in the southwest corner and said, "Gather Pan Ning in Xiawu Mountain, and ask General Li for advice." ”

Zhen Yue looked at the ring in the southwest corner.

Pan Ning lifted the split-stone crossbow in his right hand, and three arrows swished in succession. Li Liangfu wielded a long knife to hit the arrow, and when the knife and arrow met, Li Liangfu felt that Pan Ning's arrow was strong and powerful. Li Liangfu stepped forward quickly with a knife in both hands, and Pan Ning retreated into the air and fired arrows continuously. Li Liangfu dodged left and right, rushed to Pan Ning, and poked forward with his right hand. Pan Ning jumped up suddenly, stretched out his legs, and struck the back of the knife with his left palm. Li Liangfu's long knife was struck and slashed to the ground. Li Liangfu danced the long knife horizontally, Pan Ning saw the situation standing on the knife surface, Li Liangfu suddenly withdrew the knife, Pan Ning naturally fell, and then shot an arrow. Two arrows swished through Li Liangfu's left and right ears, Li Liangfu was frightened for a while, and said: "The woman's archery is fierce, and she is invincible." ”

Cai You stood in the center of the ring and said, "General Li's sword technique is fast, but Pan Nuxia's skills are higher, and Pan Nuxia wins." Ask Pan Nuxia to go to the south side of the ring and draw the second-round number from the wooden box. ”

Pan Ning took out a letterhead from the wooden box, opened it and saw that there was a word "Qi" written on the rice paper.

Cai Youdao: "The 16 people who won the first round will draw lots to determine the opponents in the second round to show fairness. There are sixteen letterheads in the wooden box, and the letterhead contains eight Chinese characters written from one to eight, and those who draw the same Chinese character will face each other in the second round. ”

The eyes of everyone in the audience wandered between the northeast, northwest, and southeast rings, and their hearts were all about who won and who lost, looking forward to knowing what lottery the winner would draw. (To be continued.) )
