Chapter 244 Breaking into the competition

It hasn't rained in Chang'an for several days, and the sky is clear and clear.

The news that the seven clans jointly held a competition for the younger generations of the clans spread like wildfire in Chang'an City.

The people were talking a lot. They felt both familiar and unfamiliar with these clan members. Most of the time, the clans lived in their own territories and rarely went out, let alone jointly hold competitions with such great fanfare now.

There are different opinions on the purpose of this event. Some people say it is to suppress the younger generation in Chang'an. Some people say it is to take the opportunity to show the tyrannical power of their clan. Some people say it is to promote the martial arts in the Tang Dynasty. Some people say it is to attract Chang'an.

Those buried talents.

The seven major clans have announced that all major families in the Tang Dynasty can send their younger generation to participate in this competition, and the winner will receive resource rewards from the seven clans.

This move attracted a lot of attention in Chang'an City, but no one responded to participate. Just the conditions of the wealthy family almost eliminated everyone.

Therefore, this competition has become a stage for the major families to show their strength, and the tyranny of the younger generation is used to reflect the family's heritage.

Zhao Wujiang put his hands behind his back and looked leisurely. Today is the day for the martial arts competition between several major families.

He was still wearing a black robe, with one hand cuff embroidered with silver-white cloud patterns, and the other hand inlaid with gold-rimmed purple jade, showing his majesty and majesty as he walked like a dragon and a tiger.

Wen Yu followed behind him. He had finished the funeral for his adoptive father Wen Yong. He seemed to have grown a lot. The young man's face was still pretty, but a lot of his youthfulness had faded.

He was also wearing a black robe and a purple belt, and he was full of heroic youth.

Walking side by side with Wen Yong was Wang Shentong, who was in the master realm. As Wang Yifang's clan brother, Wang Shentong had been arranged to protect Zhao Wujiang's Zhou Quan early on.

It's just that Zhao Wujiang's cultivation is progressing too fast now, and Wang Shentong's strength doesn't seem so tyrannical.

But at the master level, he is already the top powerhouse walking in the world.

Wang Shentong was also wearing a jet-black robe today. Unlike Zhao Wujiang and Wen Yu, he was extremely tall, as strong as an ox, and was two heads taller than Zhao Wujiang.

He had a simple and honest face, with a big word "Zhao" embroidered on his black robe, and he followed Zhao Wujiang step by step.

Today Zhao Wujiang is going to stir up trouble and participate in the martial arts competition as a member of the Zhao clan.

The three of them walked through the shop and went to Shangshu Province to participate in the competition. The location of the competition was chosen in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites.

Xu Jingzong, who was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, died suddenly a few days ago. Officials analyzed with emotion that Xu Jingzong was stripped of his post as minister because he couldn't bear to think about it and had a death wish. He died on the bed in the middle of the night in a rage.

Without Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites should have taken charge of the competition, but the clan unanimously recommended Shanye, the Minister of Dali Temple, to preside over the competition.

Hou Shanye was originally slightly sad because of Xu Jingzong's death, but now that Xu Jingzong died, he became Yuan Tiangang's spokesman for the clan, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

Now he is sitting at the top of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and the children of the aristocratic families are coming one after another. When they see him, they all call him "Master Hou". He is smiling and high-spirited at the moment.

"Master Hou, you must be fair and impartial in your conduct later."

"Yes, Mr. Hou, this is related to the priorities of future actions."

"."

The clan chose Hou Shanye to preside over it because they did not want other clans to be unfair in their judgment, so they invited people from other clans.

Hou Shanye stroked his short beard gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am the most fair person in charge. No one can disturb me during the competition."

Zhao Wujiang and the other two people quickly arrived at the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites was not beautifully decorated, but there were notices posted on the wall of the south courtyard, and the entrance was guarded by two clan members.

Zhao Wujiang smiled warmly, Ayu's eyes were like daggers, and Wang Shentong looked silly as he walked slowly towards the south courtyard.

Meet someone.

Just as the two teenagers were about to stop him, Zhao Wujiang walked straight inside with a smile.

Wang Shentong gave a silly laugh, stretched out his big hand, and picked up the two clan members like he was squeezing a chicken.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" The clan member struggled to speak.

Wang Shentong exerted force in his hands, and the two of them fainted.

As soon as we entered the south courtyard, there was a lot of noise, including the sounds of greetings, conversations, laughter, and sighs.

Zhao Wujiang has stern eyes and a wild smile, just like a real clan master.

The competition is about to begin. Hou Shanye is in high spirits, with a smile on his face, and is ready to read out the competition list.

"This martial arts competition is intended for exchanges and exchanges. Don't make a killing blow. Just stop it!

The list of participants is as follows: Zhou, Zhou Qing"

"Wait a moment!"

A cold voice came, and Wen Yu shouted coldly to stop.

Everyone followed the sound and saw three people walking not far away. They looked very angry and couldn't help but look evil, with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Who disturbed the competition?" Hou Shanye said angrily. He straightened his back and showed his dignity.

He raised his eyes and saw, whose heir is this? Zhao? Well? Zhao?

He saw at a glance that the person leading him was Zhao Wujiang, who was dressed in a black robe and a powerful figure.

How could it be him? Hou Shanye's heart skipped a beat. It had been a few days since the clan had heard about the competition, and even Empress Wu had acquiesced. How could Zhao Wujiang appear at this moment?

When Zhao Wujiang saw everyone looking at him, he looked unkind, so he turned a deaf ear and raised his hands to signal to everyone, completely ignoring the increasingly cold looks from everyone.

"We, the Zhao clan, also want to participate in this competition!" Ayu said coldly behind him. The death of his adoptive father was a blow to him, and the originally amiable young man gradually showed his sharp edge.

"Zhao clan?"

There was a sneer from the crowd.

"We have never heard of the Zhao clan, a small rural clan from nowhere!"

"The people participating in this competition are all aristocratic families. You, a Zhao clan with a low reputation, also want to participate? It's simply a dream!"

"."

Zhao Wujiang walked towards Hou Shanye and said with a smile: "The Zhao clan has many capable people and has been passed down for a long time. It deserves to be a famous family. You think so, Mr. Hou."

Hou Shanye coughed dryly and his expression changed. The coldness in Zhao Wujiang's eyes made him shiver.

These clan members never go out on weekdays and hardly know Zhao Wujiang, but he does. Not only does he know him, but he also understands him very well.

Hou Shanye complained slightly in his heart, but with a warm smile on his face, he nodded and said: "The Zhao clan is indeed a rich clan with capable people in large numbers."

The clan members began to discuss whether there really is such a big family as the Zhao clan?

Zhou Wu, King of Qin, Liu, Li, Zhu and the seven clans, the descendants of the Qin clan had cold eyes. This competition was originally a predetermined clan, but the Zhao clan suddenly appeared. No matter whether it was a real big clan or not, Zhao Wujiang and others would not be allowed to participate.

"Now that the competition has begun, the list has been determined. If you, the Zhao clan, blatantly barge in and disrupt the competition between different clans, you will cause public outrage!"

The name of the person who spoke was Qin Tianzhu. He was the second eldest son of the Qin clan. He had a jade-like face and was dressed in a jade robe. He had a graceful demeanor, but at this moment his eyes were filled with evil and he spoke sharply.

As soon as he said these words, all the clans showed their anger. During this trip, the clans adhered to the same principle of dealing with the outside world and shared the same hatred of the enemy.

Listening to Qin Tianzhu's slightly threatening tone at the end, Zhao Wujiang smiled and walked to Hou Shanye's side.

He tapped Hou Shanye on the shoulder and said, "Master Hou, has the competition begun? Is the list confirmed?"

Hou Shanye shivered and shrank his neck.
