In fact, there are still many civil servants in the entire Bingzhou officialdom, but they are scattered in various counties. It is not like the army who are all concentrated around Zhongyang City.

Today, Zhongyang City’s civil servants, large and small, basically all arrived, except for those who need to stay at their posts and cannot leave without authorization. Headed by the cabinet bosses, thirty or fifty civil servants, large and small, gathered together. They did not look like soldiers when they arrived.

The pawns act spontaneously and are basically relatively restrained.

Tian Feng and Jushou were talking quietly, Xun You and Dong Zhao also came together, Han Yi caught up with Lu Jun, followed by Li Yu, Yang Jun, Zhu Ming, Zhang Kai and others, the only one who was chatting and laughing was the only one.

Xun Chen was alone with his eyes closed, and this guy seemed to be like this all the time in recent times. He looked aloof and unconcerned, but no one dared to ignore him.

Next to the crowd of civil servants were the students from the academy. Liu Saner, headed by Liu San'er, was waiting with the male students on one side, and Liu Xiang'er, headed by Liu Xiang'er, was waiting with the female students on the other side. They all looked excited and full of interest. After all, studying is boring.

, with such a grand gathering, the students were naturally happy to participate, including Chen Deng and Mi Fang. The two of them were nearing the end of their studies and would soon face the question of whether to join the state or return to their hometown.

This time Qin was also persuaded by Zhou Jin and Shi Zixuan to come and watch the competition. However, Qin had been feeling a little cold these past few days and felt a little weak. Fortunately, Zhang Ning was with her, so it was not a big problem.

Cai Yong also led a group of people from the newspaper office into the auditorium, including many foreign celebrities. Liu Bian also gave these people face and allowed them to occupy a good seat to watch.

At the outermost edge, people have already gathered, one floor after another, crowded with people, bringing their families with them, in groups of three or five, it's so lively.

The big drum sounded three times, and the people suddenly cheered. Everyone gathered their eyes and looked over. It turned out that it was He An who was guarding the female relatives. Headed by Tang Ying, Cai Yan, Cai Wan, Zhang, Yu, Yang, etc.

The wives of the generals and civil servants were seated at the table one after another, and Aunt Qiao led the maids to take care of them. Four people, Xiyue, Anxiang, Lingfeng, and Huayu, were escorting them. Moreover, He An led a group of royal guards to wait for orders. Safety was a problem.

There is no need to worry.

The entire martial arts arena is fully equipped with soldiers and armor. Huang Zhong, Zang Hong, Yang Chou, Bian Xi, and Deng Mao are responsible for security. There are more than 2,000 soldiers patrolling and standing guard, including soldiers from each military camp.

Heavily guarded by troops to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, this was also ordered by Liu Bian.

While waiting for Tang Ying to take his seat, the queen of Bingzhou, who was under twenty years old, was not timid at all in the face of such a grand occasion. She was smiling as usual, upright and generous, with a natural expression, but there was a look in her eyes.

I couldn't hide the slightest excitement and excitement.

The big drum sounded three more times, and Xia Yun walked into the martial arts hall and shouted with the voice of a male duck: "The time has come, both warriors enter the stage!"

The snare drum sounded rapidly, and in response to the sound of the drum, Zhao Yun took the lead to step onto the martial arts field. He was dressed in a long white shirt, holding a seven-foot spear in his hand. His face was serious, but he was also heroic.

Handsome, he must be handsome, but Zhao Yun's appearance did not cause a roar from the audience. There were still some applause and cheers, but this Zhao Zilong is far from being as admired as he was in history. This person suddenly appeared in Zhongyang City

This young man who has just emerged and is not famous at all does not have many supporters. Even in gambling games, very few people bet on him to win. Even if they did, the bets were not very high, mostly a few taels or more than a dozen taels.

Just try your luck.

What if you hit a dark horse, step on shit, and get lucky?

Tong Yuan also entered quietly at this time. He was sitting in a good seat, very close to the martial arts arena, surrounded by people.

A group of Taoist priests. Yes, Liu Bian arranged Tong Yuan next to Zuo Ci. He didn't know what his purpose was. Tong Yuan was not the only one who was arranged in this way. Wang Yue's position was also here.

Let the Taoist priests calculate the future fortunes of these two martial arts masters?

As soon as Tong Yuan took his seat, he met Zuo Ci's inscrutable gaze, but Tong Yuan's piercing gaze made Zuo Ci's heart tremble.

What's going on with this old man? His intention to attack is so obvious. I don't think I've ever provoked him before. He's now covered in thorns and has a strong sense of defense. It seems that he can't complete the task assigned by His Highness! This old man can't be easily persuaded at first glance.

People can't even get close to each other, so this sophisticated trick of deception is of no use anymore!

Zuo Ci felt a little sad. He turned his eyes and looked up at the sky. Well! The weather is good today! It's perfect for watching a movie in the sun!

Tong Yuan was indeed unhappy at the moment. He felt that Liu Bian had no good intentions in making the competition so big. In Tong Yuan's view, everyone in the audience had ulterior motives.

Sitting with a group of Taoist priests, Tong Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable, especially after he looked at Zuo Ci, his eyes became even colder, as if he wanted to punch someone.

Although warriors are looked down upon by the literati, I am also a strong-willed being. What is going on with you Taoist priests? Are heretics and those with uncanny skills worthy of sitting with me? Hmm? The more you think about it, the more you think about it.

Are you angry? Why don't you just beat up these arrogant Taoist priests? Huh? Why is Wang Yue sitting here?

Under Tong Yuan's doubtful eyes, Wang Yue sat down next to him. With a hint of curiosity, Wang Yue asked in a low voice: "How much did you give to your apprentice?"

How much did you stake? How much did you stake for XX?

These two sentences have become the first words of greeting among common people in the past two days. This shows the grandness of this martial arts competition. At this moment, Wang Yue also asked, what is Tong Yuan?

His temper was gone, he was strong-willed, and his body was so thin that almost only his bones were left.

Seeing that Tong Yuan didn't reply, Wang Yue pretended to be surprised and said, "No way! You didn't even bet a single copper coin, right? You're not really so stingy that you don't want to support your apprentice, are you?"

These three consecutive questions had obvious teasing intentions. How could Tong Yuan bear such ridicule? He immediately replied: "The martial arts competition is an upright and fair thing. Only villains would bet on it. Stay away from me. I

I don’t want to be contaminated by your copper smell, superficiality and ignorance!”

"Ha! Poor!" Wang Yue's domineering words were enough to fight back against Tong Yuan. He let out a soft chuckle, filled with endless ridicule and contempt. The word "poor" directly described Tong Yuan's current situation, and the description was direct and thorough.

, Zhijiao Tong Yuan could not refute it at all.

Unfortunately, Tong Yuan didn't understand what the word "poor" meant, but he still knew the meaning of the word "poor". Anger appeared on his face, like an angry lion, and Tong Yuan glared angrily

, but Wang Yue seemed not to have seen it. He only pointed at the soldiers patrolling around him and said to himself: "I don't know if I, the master of King Bingzhou, was beaten. Will these soldiers just pull it out?"

What about stabbing people?"

As soon as these words came out, even if Tong Yuan felt unhappy, he could only stop playing. After all, the status is not equal, and things like swearing can be forgiven after all. After all, there are so many people who are talking loudly. In order to preserve his reputation,

Kings never kill directly, at most they do it secretly. But once they kill directly in person, the plot is different. Tong Yuan knows that Liu Bian cannot

Wang Yue is a character who is easy to mess with. Naturally, Wang Yue is not an easy person. If the soldiers around him directly use their swords, even if they are hacked to death, there will be no way to redress their grievances. Moreover, the competition is about to begin. If something happens at this time, the consequences will be

How? Tong Yuan naturally knew it in his heart.

Tong Yuan calmed down, there was no benefit to be gained from openly competing with Wang Yue, so he simply cursed silently in his heart, what a superficial person, what a rude person, what kind of powerful villain, as long as Tong Yuan

All the words I could think of were directed at Wang Yue.

When Wang Yue saw that Tong Yuan had stopped talking, he felt very sad. Today is different from the past. Wang Yue is no longer the warrior who had no way to serve and no talent. The gap between his and Tong Yuan's status is huge.

, kept getting angry with Tong Yuan, Wang Yue felt that he was too narrow-minded.

Your future is no better than mine, so will your apprentice be my apprentice's opponent?

Wang Yue, who had a win-win situation both in terms of face and dignity, ignored Tong Yuan. These two old men were just like children. Humph! I won’t play with you anymore!

Zuo Ci, who saw everything in his eyes, murmured in his heart: These two old men are not economical! Zuo Ci, who was unwilling to participate, turned his attention to the martial arts field. Zhao Yun was already in place, but Liu Bian had not yet appeared.

.As the prince of the Han Dynasty and the king of Bingzhou, it is necessary to appear at the finale. Big names are often the last ones to arrive! The longer you are late, the bigger your name will be!

Zhao Yun stood in the field for a while, facing the crowd of spectators. If he said he was not nervous at all, it would be a lie. Zhao Yun had never experienced such a scene in the past twenty years. After being shocked,

Full of excitement.

In the midst of this excitement, Zhao Yun saw someone coming from the opposite side, and deafening cheers suddenly sounded around him. The shouts of "Prince of the Han Dynasty, King of Bingzhou, His Highness" came and went, one after another, and some were even more popular.

There are many people shouting slogans about winning money, all kinds of things.

"Your Highness, I have staked all my fortune on it, but I must win!"

"As long as you win, I can betroth my daughter to you!"

"Your daughter is already a widow in her thirties, and she still wants to enter the palace. Bah! Shameless!"

"Your Highness, my daughter is only twelve years old. She is called a flower in the south of the city. She has the symbol of water spirit. Think about it?"

…

Seeing that the topic of the shouting in the audience has gone astray, Liu Bian, who was still walking calmly, suddenly felt a pain in his head. What kind of talents are so special under my rule?

I have to say that Liu Bian dressed up specially today. Although he had never worn armor, the blue and white outfit was made by Tang Ying himself.

His figure and handsome face can indeed captivate a group of girls.

Behind one hand, the other hand swayed casually with the steps he took, and there was an unruly and confident smile on his face. Although he didn't look like he didn't recognize his relatives, he still had the temperament of the brightest kid on the street. Waiting for Liu Bian's footsteps

After standing still, before he could speak to Zhao Yun, there was another burst of shouting from the audience, among which Zhang Fei's roar was the most obvious.

"Master Ben, fuck him!"

"Fuck him!"

The sound of the crowd rang out. Liu Bian twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, while Zhao Yun held the spear tightly in his hands. The shouts from the audience had begun to affect his mentality. Fortunately, he had a strong psychological quality. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably
Chapter completed!
