"This year's rivers and lakes are surging, including the destruction of the crooked and evil ways of the Holy Mother Sect, the White Lotus Sect, the Twelve Lianwu Sect, and the Thirteen Lianlian Village, as well as the Jin Ge Society and the Changkong Gang; the rise of the Seven Seas Alliance on the sea, and the misfortune of the Pai Gang; there are both the Fengyun Heroes who set foot in the Central Plains, and Chang Wei Liang Kecheng's first involvement in the martial arts; there are contracts signed by the various factions on the Six Heng Islands, and there are small disputes between the two factions of the ethereal Seven Seas. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"In view of the rapid changes in the rivers and lakes, and the life and death of the masters, the old man and the Nanjing Criminal Department Qing Officials He Chong agreed to hold a martial arts conference to mediate the grievances of the rivers and lakes and prosper the martial arts situation. This event was held thanks to Grandpa Xu, Marquis Wei and the leader of the Seven Seas League......"

Chang Wei sat in his seat and said in a loud voice: "Don't look at the old guy's usual obscene and trivial, he still looks decent when he talks seriously." ”

Han Chai muttered: "If he doesn't even have these two hits, he won't be embarrassed." ”

After Gao Liangcai said a long and not short sentence, he said: "Before the start of the meeting, the three major battalions in Nanjing sent 600 soldiers to the field for a short drill. ”

"Good!"

Watching the lively audience cheering together, the drills of the three major battalions are not common, but Chang Wei knows that this is to show military prestige and warn the people in the rivers and lakes not to make trouble, no matter what sect or master, the army can kill it as soon as it strikes.

After Gao Liangcai finished speaking, he retreated, and the three teams of cavalry flew from the corridor between the stands, and arrived at the center of the martial arts arena, the left and right knights inserted the yellow flag and red flag in their hands into the hole reserved on the ground, and the knight in the middle planted the longest 'Ming' flag on the ground.

Immediately after that, the three teams of officers galloped in helmets and armor, and the banners in front and behind were the words "Five Armies", "Three Thousand" and "Divine Machine". The accompanying soldiers also held many bright variegated flags in their hands, and there were also musical instruments and golden drums as orders.

To the sound of drums and trumpets, a neatly arranged group of musketeers strode to the beat of the drums, followed by the artillerymen pushing the artillery wagons, which was the Shenji Battalion, followed by a group of five army battalions mixed with infantry and cavalry, and then three thousand battalions of all cavalry.

The three teams were densely layered, and the fully armed firearms troops only listened to the footsteps and the hooves of the horses, and there was no sound at all.

When the queue was neat and the soldiers were solemn, the officers of all flags stepped forward to report, and the middle officer shouted, "Drill!"

The officers returned to their respective ranks, and after a while, a company of three trumpets sounded, and suddenly, the drums and horns sounded in unison, and the cavalry of the 3,000 battalions came out first, and the horse team gradually accelerated around the martial arts arena for a circle, and stopped in the north formation.

The herald waved the yellow flag, and the five battalions of the infantry and cavalry moved the array in unison and stood behind the 3,000 battalions; the red flag waved, and the artillery wagons of the Shenji battalion went first, and after the artillery wagons covered the five military camps, the musket corps showed a vertical and horizontal queue with the beat of drums and orders, and after a while, they also retreated to the rear of the queue.

As soon as the drum stopped, the Mingzi flag shook violently, and the horse team of the 3,000 battalions immediately charged, rushed to the left and right in front of the middle flag, and ran straight to the southernmost part of the martial arts arena。

Of course, like this, there is only a primer in the guns and no bullets and shells, even so, the Jianghu gate faction present is also shocked, and the small sect and the lone heroes are even more frightened, many people are thinking, what master can escape from this gun?

However, the people of the Seven Seas Alliance, who were accustomed to seeing gun drills, the Jin Ge Hui who had seen the guns and cannons, the disciples of the Changkong Gang, and the people of Nanjing City who heard and witnessed them were excited, and the guns stopped and cheered at sky-high prices.

After the Shenji battalion let go of a round of guns, the red flag shook again, and in the sound of drums and horns, the three battalions moved in unison to occupy the three directions of the east, west, and south, and each fired the guns in order.

In the thick fire and smoke, a series of trumpets and cannons were suddenly heard, and immediately, the sound of golden drums rang out, and the three battalions moved to the center of the martial arts arena in unison, and when the smoke dissipated, the soldiers of the three battalions were neatly arrayed and stood there silently.

Just when the audience thought that the array was about to change again, the three flags waved violently again, and the muskets fired in unison, and the martial arts arena where the figures could be seen clearly was filled with gunpowder smoke and flashing wildly, enveloping all 600 soldiers in the smoke.

As soon as the golden drum was destroyed, all the flags were waved, the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded in the smoke, and the horse's hooves were heard ticking and kicking, and when the smoke cleared, the soldiers of the three battalions retreated to the outside of the martial arts arena like a tide, and the drummers who walked at the back played the victory music together, and gradually the people and horses went away, leaving only the audience cheering loudly.

When the people gradually quieted down, Gao Liangcai, He Chong and a middle-aged man walked to the center of the martial arts arena, the man was of medium stature, his appearance and temperament were like ordinary people, only the pair of radiant eyes showed a vertical and horizontal demeanor.

"Fellow travelers, the three major battalions are over. ”

Gao Liangcai pointed at He Chong and said: "The martial arts conference is about to officially start, before that, I will introduce you first, this is He Chong, the Qing official Si He Chong, He was born in a beggar gang, and before the age of twenty-five, he broke through the name of the iron hand He Chong, and after entering the office, he repeatedly solved important cases and was called the four famous arrests of the Criminal Department, and he has a very high reputation in the rivers and lakes and officialdom. ”

He Chong clasped his fists and said a few polite words, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the positions of the beggars and the Seven Seas Alliance in the stands.

Gao Liangcai pointed to the middle-aged man and said: "This old man was unknown before the Wanli Korean War, and in the Korean War, this old man single-handedly overturned Kondo, Yanagi, Sanada, Okita, and other thirty famous Japanese masters, and became famous in the first war, causing a sensation in the Ming Dynasty, Japan and Korea. Although there are not many people who know this brother, there are absolutely no people in the rivers and lakes who have not heard of his name, this is the world's number one master!"

Chang Wei was taken aback, "Chaotianque, the old guy actually invited Chaotianque, what a big deal!" After speaking, he hurriedly put Han Chai's shoulder and asked, "Didn't Chaotianque come from Zhongnan Mountain, do you know him?"

Han Chai broke free of his hand and said: "The Wanli Dynasty War was more than thirty years ago, I was not born at that time, how could I know Chaotianque, he has not been to Zhongnan Mountain a few times like you, how do I know." ”

Yan Ruyu reminded in a low voice on the side: "Husband, ask the ninth son of the Big Dipper." ”

Chang Wei patted his head and hurriedly turned his head to look back, and without waiting for him to ask, the nine sons stood up and bowed and told him the answer.

At the same time, the Shaolin monks, Wudang Taoist priests, ethereal beauties, beggar gang leader elders, Chu Tiankuo, Changkong peerless and others in the stands stood up and bowed with fists.

"Senior Brother Chao!" and "Chao Daxia!" The shouts rang out, and seeing this battle, the people in the stands also stood up and saluted, and the ordinary spectators all stood up and saluted. Although they didn't know who Chao Tianque was, they could feel the respect from everyone's solemn etiquette and salutation.

After Chang Wei stood up, he saw where Han Chai was sitting with the old god, so he hurriedly kicked him and said, "Little fat man, get up and pretend." ”

Han Chai reluctantly stood up and shouted in a low voice, "What is there to pretend? It stands to reason that he is the same as you, and he has to call me senior brother." ”

Chang Wei scolded: "You know what a fart! People are the same as Fengyun, they are real chivalrous!

Chaotian Que made a four-way fist swing, and nodded in several directions to the stands, and finally fell on the Big Dipper Jiuzi, and nodded and smiled at Chang Wei and Han Chai before bowing his head.

After everyone finished greeting, Gao Liangcai said again: "Chaotianque, He Chong and I, Wan Shitong, will serve as the judges of the martial arts conference, responsible for judging the victory and defeat, and commenting on a wonderful competition." ”

"Okay, the first martial arts conference starts now! According to the charter, the newly established Seven Seas Alliance, Qingchamen, Quicksand Gang, and Heiyun Village this year are ...... Wait for the sixteen sects to conduct the first round of qualifiers, and eliminate eight of them. First of all, please ask the martial artists of these sixteen sects to get ready!"

Chang Wei got up and tidied up his clothes and said, "Let's go, it's time for our Seven Seas Alliance to appear!"

Yan Ruyu, Fengyun Shuangxia, and Chang Li followed him and slowly walked down the stands, and on the lowest level of the stands in the north, Gao Liangcai, He Chong, and Chaotianque sat in the box, and Chang Wei and other representatives of sixteen sects received the number plates issued by He Chong's men in front of the box.

Chang Wei looked at the number plate and said with a smile in his heart: "The old guy is really eye-catching." ”

At this time, I only heard Gao Liangcai say, "The first game of the qualifiers is the Seven Seas Alliance vs. the Siyang faction. The Seven Seas Alliance was established in the autumn of this year, and the leader of the alliance, Chang Wei, is now a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and under the leadership of the leader of the Chang League, the Seven Seas Alliance is thriving, and their main activities are in Liuheng Island in Zhejiang Province and Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other prefectures in Nanzhili. ”

Every word Gao Liangcai said could be clearly transmitted to the last row, and his voice could be heard from every corner of the arena. This is because under each row of seats, there are ceramic containers to transmit sound and reduce echo.

"The five members of the Seven Seas Alliance who participated in the competition were Chang Wei, the leader of the alliance, Yan Ruyu, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, Qiu Feng Luoyun, and Chang Li. ”

"Their opponents, the Siyang Gang, are the gangs of Fengyang Mansion...... We asked Lord He Chong to comment on the strength and martial arts characteristics of both sides, and provide you with some basis for betting. ”

He Chong said: "The Seven Seas Alliance Leader Chang Wei originally had internal strength at the peak realm of the third layer of infinite power, and I personally taught him martial arts such as the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending and the Hundred Steps Divine Fist. However, due to the well-known willingness to Chang Wei's internal strength to be abolished, now only the kung fu on the blade remains, reminding everyone that the divine sword in his hand is a peerless divine weapon, and Chang Meng's swordsmanship is also very good, and he can't be underestimated because he has no internal strength...... Therefore, I think this contest will be won by Chang Wei. ”

Gao Liangcai immediately took over the conversation and said, "Okay, thank you for your comment." Let's take a look at the odds of Rishengchang, the current odds of Changwei are one to eleven, and Bao Song's odds are one to twenty. That is to say, if you buy Chang Weisheng, one tael of silver will be returned to you with interest, and if you buy Bao Songsheng, one or two will be returned to you with interest. If you haven't placed a bet yet, please hurry up, the competition will start soon. ”

As he spoke, three hundred Ri Shengchang men in conspicuous uniforms in the stands held trays and shouted back and forth to trick people into placing bets.

"Hell it if Chang Wei can win, He Chong is Chang Wei's friend, he deliberately said that to mislead everyone, I will buy a hundred taels of pine!"

"That's right, Chang Wei has become a waste person with no internal strength, and he wants to defeat a person at the peak of the second layer of internal strength with a magic weapon?

"One loss two? Buying Bao Songsheng is simply picking up money, Wei Liangdong's Ri Shengchang has such a good intention? I feel that Chang Wei may win, but it is too risky to buy Chang Wei to earn ten taels for one hundred taels. I'm still an upset, so I'll buy a bag of loose ten taels to try the water!"

Under the analysis of a group of Jianghu people and gamblers who are proficient in martial arts, ninety percent of them did not believe He Chong's distraction and bought Bao Songsheng.

"Okay, the first martial arts conference, the competition between Chang Wei, the leader of the Seven Seas Alliance, and Bao Song, the leader of the Siyang Gang, starts now!"

With Gao Liangcai's loud shout, four self-striking bells and dozens of hourglasses in the competition arena were timed at the same time! )
