Chapter 371 Wu Yu Exam
The opening ceremony of the highly anticipated imperial Wu Yu Examination officially began in a solemn and grand atmosphere. The largest Xijiaochang in the imperial capital had already built a main platform of five meters high and forty-twenty-five meters long half a month ago. More than twenty small platforms were built around the main platform. It was said that it was a little smaller in scale, but in fact it was thirty meters long and twenty meters wide, and was ready for use in the initial test of Wu Yu Examination.︽
The notice of the Wu Yu Examination was posted two months ago in the Imperial Palace. As long as the guarantor who has a pure wealth and aristocratic status is used as a guarantee, he can sign up for the internal affairs department of the government where he is registered and where he lives and lives. In this Wu Yu Examination, the Imperial Wu Lin Army had to recruit a total of 120 soldiers, which was the most recruited in previous years. In previous years, the number of recruits was generally between 60 and 80. This year is the first time that the 100-person mark has been exceeded in the past 20 years.
Moreover, the announcement released by the Ministry of War of the Imperial Ministry also clearly stipulates that the top eight who won the Wu Imperial Examination this time are expected to become officers in the Yulin Army directly. This is simply explosive news. It is almost twice as high as the number of people who have signed up for the Wu Imperial Examination. Compared with the number of 2,000 to 2,500 people in previous years, the number of people who signed up for the Wu Imperial Examination has exceeded 4,000. Compared with the number of 2,000 to 2,500 people in previous years, it is nearly twice as high as that of any previous session.
As early as half a month ago, the number of people in the martial arts world who entered the imperial capital was gradually increasing. In order to deal with possible public security problems, the nine gates of the imperial capital launched a check-up work, and designated some hotels and inns in each district as special accommodation areas for those who came to participate in and observe the competition. The weapons they carried with them were uniformly confiscated and placed in each government office for unified custody. They were handed over to them when they needed to participate in the competition. They still had to be returned after the competition, and they knew that they had left the imperial capital.
However, such strict control measures still cannot prevent the trouble caused by the huge number of people from entering the imperial capital. Almost every day, all yamen under the Nine Gates Admiral's Office of the Imperial Capital will receive multiple reports, such as fighting, murder, theft, fraud, even robbery, and other vicious cases, which has increased significantly, making the security leaders of the various yamen unable to guard against it.
In order to solve the problem, the Admiral of the Nine Gates not only dispatched his own special operation team to strengthen patrol and inspect key areas, but also wrote to the Imperial War Department, requesting them to coordinate. The First Division of the City Guards in the Imperial City garrison also dispatched a corps of soldiers to strengthen patrol the main streets in the imperial capital.
Of course, not all the negative effects are brought about, at least it has made many service industries and entertainment industries more prosperous, especially many wealthy tourists in the world spend a lot of money, which has made many bosses in the romantic places gain a lot while worrying.
These news were combined with the information collected by Deng Xian and Little Willie's partners, supplemented by the introduction and analysis of Wei, Li and Song Tianxiong. Qin Mu had a rough understanding of the situation of the Jianghu and martial arts forces in the imperial capital and even the empire.
Qin Mu, who was leisurely at home, was enthusiastically invited by the imperial internal affairs department and went to the Western Conference to watch the battles.
The main nominal organizer of the Wu Yu Examination is the Imperial Ministry of War, but the implementation of many specific tasks is mostly completed by the Central Plains Association Hall, which is closely related to the Imperial Royal Family, such as the construction of facilities, invitations to various sects in the martial arts world, the proposal and modification of the competition rules and selection system, and the organization and implementation of the entire competition process are mostly invited by the Central Plains Association Hall or the Central Plains Association Hall to hire well-known people in the martial arts world to be executed.
The internal affairs department of the empire is mainly responsible for the qualification review of participants and referees to prevent people with bad intentions or just filling in. However, since Wu Yushi even attaches great importance to His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, whether it is participants from various places or those invited by the Central Plains Association to serve as referees and organizations, they are basically competent, and there has been no obvious favoritism and fraud in many years.
When Qin Mu brought Wei and Li and Song Tianxiong to the Xichangchang, it was already crowded and bustling. In addition to some people from martial arts, more people were the people who like martial arts in the imperial capital. This was also the original intention of the imperial court to hold the martial arts examination. It was to arouse the people's spirit of martial arts and encourage them to be loyal to the empire and sell them to the imperial family after learning. This sentence is probably the purpose of the Wuyin Examination.
Qin Mu was still a little unfamiliar with all this. Martial Artsmen with different clothes and unique signs walked past him from time to time. They were all kinds of things, and most of them hung their swords and swords. On this day, they could probably carry these weapons that were usually restricted. However, in this field, you can see the police officers of the Nine Gate Admiral's Office and those spies in plain clothes at any time. In order to have an accident, they even specially stationed a unit of city guards near the field, and kept on standby at any time, just in case.
The two women of Wei and Li seemed very enthusiastic about the annual Wu Yu Examination. When they walked into the competition, they searched everywhere to see if they could see the appearance of people in their sects. Even Song Tianxiong, who had always been calm, could not control his excitement. Although there was no big change in expression on his face, his hot eyes exposed his thoughts. All of this was seen by Qin Mu, which deepened Qin Mu's curiosity about the martial arts world in the world.
Although Song Tian's chest was also looking around, he found that he agreed to Qin Mu's plain clothes to travel in the morning without bringing a guard was a huge mistake. The crowds in the field were crowded, and most of the people in the martial arts world were equipped with weapons, which was a huge threat to the safety of adults. He only had one person, and the two women were all focused on other things. It was a difficult problem to protect Qin Mu's safety.
"Sir, I think we'd better go back. It's too messy and it's really unsafe." Song Tianxiong answered nervously while looking around at the surrounding situation.
"It's nothing to do. We are all disguised. No one will know us. And there are so many guards around, who will do what here?" Qin Mu replied with a relaxed expression.
"No, sir, I'm responsible for your safety. It's really not safe here. Either we go back or you go there."
