Chapter fifty-seven: group training
The next morning, Liu Feng started climbing the mountain with his guards and the newly recruited brother duo.
Wuyue Mountain is the mountain gate of the Wuyue Sect, a great sect in the Jianghu. There are thousands of disciples inside. The head of the sect is not only a master, but also the leader of the last martial arts conference, and has been in power for more than 50 years.
Today, no matter what origins a person who is going up the mountain, he cannot help but restrain his temperament and calmly come to the place where the meeting is held on the top of the mountain, under the guidance of the disciples of the Five Yue Sect.
As a melon-eating crowd, Liu Feng does not have to go through numerous selections like those contestants who participated in the conference before he can compete for the qualification to compete on the arena and become famous.
They just need to stay in the stands like other people on the melon, just wait for the conference to start, but the process is a bit boring.
There were many people watching the conference today, and the stands were filled with people, and only Liu Feng had some spare seats. Of course, it was not that he did not allow others to sit, but that those people did not dare to get close to this place.
I have to say that Yuwenba was indeed domineering. He sat there with his own aura of fear. Within three meters of surroundings, no one dared to approach.
"Guru~"
About half an hour later, a sound of thunder sounded from Yu Wenba's belly.
"Hungry."
Yuwenba stared at Liu Feng with a dull look. Since his brother Yuwen Guang told him last night that after this person takes care of food, he would ask Liu Feng for food when he was hungry, and would lose his temper if he didn't give it to him.
"No? You just ate a whole pig this morning and you're hungry so soon?"
Chu Liu stared at Yuwenba with wide eyes, and then looked at Yuwen Guang beside him. No wonder he packed and sold him with his brother so readily last night. This tuberculosis man felt that he could not raise this big man alone, so he found someone to take over and make long-term meal tickets.
"Xu Tu, please take him to eat."
Liu Feng doesn't care about this. He can raise a 50,000 army. Raising a big eater is nothing. Besides, although Yu Wenba can eat, he is indeed a peerless general. He wears heavy armor and is a bulldozer on the battlefield.
The martial arts conference will take one or two days, so there is a place to provide food and accommodation on the mountain, but the price is a little higher than the inn at the foot of the mountain. After receiving the order, Xu Tu immediately asked a Jinyiwei to take Yuwenba to leave the stands.
"Ahem, I'm worried."
Yuwen Guang bowed to Liu Feng.
"A small matter, are you healthy?"
"I'm an old problem, cough cough, I can't die, you don't have to worry."
Yuwen Guang waved his hand, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and started coughing again. His sick look was not like the terrifying Baisha in the world.
Another hour passed, and the first stage of the selection finally ended, and the people who passed the selection began to draw lots to the ring.
There are five arenas on the field, and the competition is held at the same time. The winner will be able to challenge the leader of the martial arts world, Zhou Tong.
Looking at the punches, kicks, swords and shadows on the ring, back and forth, Liu Feng was still enjoying watching it at the beginning, but after a long time, he felt a little bored. This kind of competition was far worse than the 50 cent special effects in film and television. The surrounding melon-eating crowd seemed very excited, and kept shouting with cheers.
"If Mr. Liu is tired of it, let's come back tomorrow, and the competition will only be interesting."
Chu Liu suggested.
"No, let's take a look."
Liu Feng waved his hand. He has only completed one-third of the mission, and the martial arts conference is only held for two days. Time is tight. If there is not enough people tomorrow, the mission will fail, and there will be no more righteousness in the white horses.

At this time, it was in the Tangyuan Prefecture Office, which was adjacent to Laiyang Prefecture.
The back hall was full of people, and all the heads of famous gentry families gathered here in the entire Tangyuan Mansion.
"Sir, the Master of the House."
With a loud roar outside, everyone in the hall stood up one after another, bowed to the people who came in and said, "Greetings to Lord Mansion."
"Haha, you guys are exempted from gifts."
Zhuang Rui said with a smile.
Although he was over fifty years old, he was well maintained. He looked only over forty years old and had a great demeanor, which made people feel close to each other. As a civil servant, he might not be able to go to the battlefield to kill enemies, but his ability to manage local governments and rectify officials was quite good. Tang Yuan’s mansion was originally just a central mansion, but under his governance, it took only five years to become the mansion.
After Zhuang Rui sat down, he said straight to the point: "The situation is unstable now, so I have just told a long story."
"Sir, please speak."
An old man wearing a robe said that this person was the head of the Zhou family and the head of the local gentry.
Zhuang Rui said: "I believe everyone has already known the news that the Northern Wei invaded my border. Now the imperial court is busy dealing with the invasion of the Northern Wei, so we cannot control the rebellion in Jizhou for the time being. Our local defenders are insufficient. Therefore, the governor asked the emperor to allow the local government to train the local people to train the village chariots some time ago, and it has been allowed. I invite you here today, hoping that everyone will start to train the village chariots, assist the local county magistrates, and fight against the bandits together."
Zhuang Rui had few troops in his hands, and most of the troops were used in the Minshan area to encircle and suppress the rebellion there, but the war was not very smooth, especially after the news of the fall of Laiyang Prefecture, he was always worried that the bandits of Laiyang Prefecture would go south. In this case, it would be impossible to resist with the current military strength of Tang Yuan Prefecture.
Time is tight, and waiting for the imperial court to send troops is nowhere to go. The only way is to train troops to save themselves, but training troops consumes a lot of money and food. In recent years, in order to provide disaster relief and people, Zhuang Rui's granary in the city was almost empty, and he could not take out any extra money and food to train troops.
Fortunately, the governor's memorial to the court was approved. Although in his opinion, training in the group training is not the best way, after all, once this example is opened, it will inevitably greatly enhance the strength of local clan forces, but it can solve the current urgent needs.
Zhuang Rui didn't expect these regiments to be able to fight in the field, but it was still possible to defend the city. As long as you stay for a while, when the court recovered, send out elite troops. The mere rebels would not be afraid.
"Sir, I will obey it myself. Please rest assured. We will definitely develop a strong team to help you quell the rebellion!"
All the squire secretly suppressed the joy in their hearts and said one after another.
They have many benefits to organizing a group to train a village hero, which is equivalent to controlling the troops with legitimate reasons. Especially when the situation is unstable, if you can control a single troops, you can have enough power.
