Li Bai led everyone into Chang'an City. He divided them into two groups. One group was led by him and Sima Heng, and its members included all the Tangming Pavilion masters. These people all lived in the accommodation provided by the Tangming Pavilion General Pavilion; the other group was led by Meng Haoran.
Led by Zhuge Leran, the members included the rest of the Tianxia Alliance except for the pavilion masters and all members of the Tongtian Sect. These people lived in the courtyard rented by the Tianxia Alliance before.
After arranging everyone's accommodation, Li Bai and Sima Heng strode into the main hall of Tangming Pavilion. They wanted to sign up to compete for the leadership of the martial arts alliance.
The main pavilion of Tangming Pavilion in Chang'an is very grand and luxurious. There are many houses and courtyards inside, as well as pavilions, lakes and hills. In particular, the martial arts training square inside is extremely spacious. It also has an imperial viewing platform for the emperor to watch martial arts competitions.
, extremely powerful.
Li Bai and Li Bai were walking side by side. Li Bai said: "Sima Heng, does the scene today look like the scene when we signed up to be a scholar in Tangming Pavilion together?"
"It's very similar. I didn't expect that in a few years, when we come back to sign up, we'll actually sign up for the martial arts leader!"
"Yes, time flies like an arrow, and things in the world are unpredictable!"
"Li Bai, if we win the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, will we have to move to Chang'an City?"
"Of course, the main pavilion of Tangming Pavilion is here, and of course the main pavilion leader, the leader of the Wulin Alliance, must be here. Why don't you want to live here?"
"No, I just feel a little reluctant to leave my brothers who are allied with the world."
Li Bai smiled slightly and said: "Sima Heng, have you forgotten? The Tianxia Alliance is just a temporary organization established to compete for the leadership of the martial arts alliance. If we can really win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, then I will dissolve the Tianxia Alliance."
When Sima Heng heard this, he exclaimed: "You want to dissolve the World Alliance? What about the brothers in the alliance?"
"All the brothers in the alliance joined Tang Mingge, because only Tang Mingge can handle martial arts affairs openly and honestly, and can uphold justice with the support of the imperial court!"
"So, I thought you were going to abandon your brothers? But you are right. Since there is Tang Ming Pavilion who upholds justice, the Alliance of the World can indeed retire with success."
The two of them were walking and talking, and unknowingly they had arrived at the registration office for martial arts leaders next to the competition square. They saw a simple thick wooden table placed at the registration office. Four rosewood chairs were placed beside the table, and the vice presidents were sitting on them.
The chief cabinet chief Cui Gongyi, the chief cabinet chief Bo Liangjian, the new chief cabinet officer Deng Hua, and the Yulin army supervisor Wang Yong.
Behind the four people stood two rows of lieutenants and a pile of silver ingots.
When Li Bai saw it, he remembered that he had to pay the registration fee when he applied for the martial arts examination, and he couldn't help thinking: Isn't it the main person to pay the registration fee when registering for the martial arts league?"
At this time, there were many people in the martial arts training square, some came to sign up and some came to watch the fun. However, although there were many people, it was relatively quiet and in good order.
There were about thirty people queuing up to sign up, so Sima Heng lined up at the back of the line. Li Bai was the candidate designated by the imperial court to be the leader of the alliance and did not need to sign up, so he stood aside.
As they were lining up, a cabinet officer came up to Li Bai and said to Li Bai: "Li Bai, Mr. Wang and the deputy chief cabinet master would like you and Sima Heng to come forward and take a seat."
Li Bai was startled and couldn't help but look at Wang Yong and Cui Gongyi, only to see Cui Gongyi waving to him with a serious smile.
Li Bai didn't know what they wanted to do, so he called his superior Ma Heng and walked over together.
"Li Bai, Sima Heng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Cui Gongyi said with a wicked smile as soon as he arrived in front of Cui Gongyi. After that, he introduced Wang Yong, the supervisor of the Yulin Army, to the two of them. Judging from his tone, it seemed that
I care very much about Wang Yong’s feelings.
At this time, Li Bai felt something strange about Wang Yong, which made him feel uneasy. Suddenly a thought flashed through him, "Aura!" Yes, there was a trace of aura in Wang Yong, which made people uneasy.
At this time, Wang Yong pointed to the two chairs that had just been brought in and said to them: "Li Bai, Sima Heng, please sit down. I just asked them to bring these chairs."
Li Bai and the two were not polite, and sat on the table with their hands in hand. Li Bai said: "Master Wang, why did you give us a seat? We are just here to sign up."
Wang Yong smiled and said: "Zhang Changshi of the Yulin Army Jinzouyuan told you to take good care of you two when I see you. Of course I will not disobey."
"It turns out that Mr. Zhang took care of me! Mr. Wang, if you see Mr. Zhang in the future, please thank Li Bai on behalf of Li Bai. By the way, Mr. Wang, I would like to ask, do you still have to pay the registration fee to register for the martial arts leader competition?"
At this time, Cui Gongyi on the side waved his hand and said: "No need, those who can participate in the competition for the martial arts leader are all people from Tangming Pavilion, so why pay the registration fee?"
"That pile of silver ingots is..." Li Bai pointed to the silver ingots behind them.
Cui Gongyi turned around and took a silver ingot and said: "This is not the registration fee, this is the first step of registration."
"The first stage of registration?"
"Yes, if you want to sign up to compete for the martial arts leader, this silver ingot is the first step?"
"How to break through?"
"It's very simple. Applicants only need to grab the silver ingot with one hand until it smashes to pieces. This is done to exclude some people who cheat and make the competition for martial arts leaders more exciting, which will help the emperor watch."
"The Emperor will also come to watch?"
Wang Yong bowed to the sky and said: "The emperor likes to watch martial arts competitions the most. I believe he will come."
At this time, the master, Bo Liangjian, said to Wang Yong: "Sir Wang, there is now a registrant who has verified his identity as a tribute member of Tangming Pavilion. He is about to catch silver ingots to pass the customs. Please supervise him."
Wang Yong nodded, indicating that it was okay to start.
I saw a hunky-backed man taking the silver ingot handed to him by Deng Hua, the commander of the new cabinet, with one hand, and then he used all his strength to grab it. There was a "collapse" sound, and the silver ingot broke. He continued to exert force, and the silver ingot broke again.
At this time, due to his excessive luck, his face had turned red, but the silver ingot could no longer be broken into pieces.
Seeing this, Wang Yong shook his head at Liang Jian. Seeing this, Liang Jian quickly announced: "I failed to pass the test and cannot participate in the martial arts competition for the leader of the martial arts alliance."
When the man heard this, his face was full of disappointment, he put the broken silver ingot in his hand into a wooden bucket, and left dejectedly.
Seeing this, Sima Heng smiled and said: "Interesting, I'm here to sign up too, let me try it!"
Cui Gongyi said: "Yes, I really forgot that you are also here to sign up. Come on, you try, but if you can't do it, I have to do business and can't let you participate in the competition." After saying that, he handed Sima Heng a letter.
Get a silver ingot.
Sima Heng took the silver ingot and laughed loudly and said: "Deputy Chief Pavilion Master, if I can't do it, then I won't be able to participate even if you don't tell me!" After saying that, he gathered his true energy and said, "Beng...
Bah...bah..." After a series of sounds, the silver ingot was broken into pieces in his hand.
At this time, Sima Heng deliberately provoked Cui Gongyi, so he secretly used the phoenix fire to directly burn the silver powder in his palm to nothingness. Then he specially stretched his hand in front of Cui Gongyi, opened it, and said: "Deputy Chief Pavilion Master, I'm really sorry, I tried my best
If you use too much force and the silver ingot is caught, is this considered a pass?"
