Chapter 1836: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the arena competition begins
As soon as Li Chengfeng finished speaking, his shadow waved to Cong Lin from behind the ring.
In an instant, a group of dark figures walked out of the jungle.
The Shadow Guards all wore black iron masks, and among them, there were dozens of people in custody who were covered in injuries and were in a state of embarrassment.
Seeing these people appear, everyone participating in the martial arts competition started talking about them.
"Who are these people? Do you know them all?"
"I don't know. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince arrested a group of illegal warriors before. Could it be them?"
"Hey! I know him. Look, the one in the middle even drank with me before!"
"I also know one or two. They are all martial arts talents who came to participate in martial arts competitions. What's going on?"
"Let's stop talking. Didn't you see how they were beaten? It will be bad if the prince gets angry."
Amid everyone's discussion, the shadow guards escorted the abandoned warriors to the back of the ring.
"Silence!"
Shadow looked at those people who were whispering, his brows slightly furrowed and his face full of displeasure.
These martial arts warriors really have no rules, and His Highness the Crown Prince is actually making the scene like a vegetable market.
The sound reached everyone's ears through his powerful inner strength of the heaven and human realm.
The warriors who were still talking just now quickly shut their mouths and lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.
For them, warriors in the Heavenly Realm are already out of reach, how dare they offend him.
After everyone calmed down, Li Chengfeng spoke again.
"You must be familiar with these people, right?"
"They also participated in the martial arts competition this time. The top martial artists from various places arrived in Chang'an early."
"It's a pity that they didn't open their eyes and did evil things in Chang'an City, and I caught them."
"We are all children of the world. I can understand our daily grudges and grudges!"
"Today I, Li Chengfeng, am not very talented, so I have to hand over to you all. What are the rules?"
After he finished speaking, the shadow turned around and waved slightly to the shadow guards.
The shadow guards received the signal and kicked the warriors around them on their legs.
Those people had been deprived of martial arts in the first place, and coupled with these days of torture, their strong energy and blood were now extremely weak.
After the shadow guard kicked them like this, these people fell to their knees one after another, and the shadow guard put a steel knife on their necks.
At this moment, these people were no longer as high-spirited as before, they were trembling with fear and urinating.
"His Royal Highness, all the prisoners have been brought to justice, and your Highness is invited to carry out the execution!"
Shadow came to Li Chengfeng's side, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and whispered.
"Execution!" Li Chengfeng ordered.
"Crack!" The sound of beheading sounded in unison, and blood spurted out and dyed the grass on the ground red.
The frightened heads rolled down to the ground like ripe persimmons.
The entire grassland was suddenly filled with the smell of blood, just like an ancient battlefield.
Under the ring, the selected warriors took a breath of cold air, and they were all glad that they had not violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty before.
If I couldn't control it before, I might be the one who gets beheaded now.
On the contrary, the onlookers burst into thunderous applause.
As ordinary people, what they fear most is that these warriors bully the people by relying on their own strength.
Judging from Li Chengfeng's attitude now, they don't have to worry that these warriors will affect the normal lives of ordinary people.
"Well done, these people should be killed for doing evil!"
"Yes! I have been worried for a long time whether these people will do anything wrong."
"When His Highness the Crown Prince is here, no matter whether he is a powerful minister or a warrior, he must abide by the law."
“Let’s see if anyone dares to bully our boss’s surname in the future. Then we will be able to feel confident when reporting to our boss.”
Li Chengfeng felt quite satisfied when he heard the praises of the people and the shock of the warriors.
This is the effect he wants.
He wanted the people to know that although Datang recruited talents widely, it would not let them do whatever they wanted.
We must also let these warriors know that although the Tang Dynasty recruits them, they are not the only ones.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We in the Tang Dynasty have always made clear rewards and punishments. If you don't break the law, you will naturally be treated politely by the Tang Dynasty."
"Next, everyone will line up at these three arenas, and Tiance Army will call your names."
"The two people whose names are called jump onto the ring and compete in pairs."
"The first is a close-quarters points battle with bare hands, and then there is the martial arts ranking competition."
"We, the Tang Dynasty, will select thirty civil warriors among them based on their rankings and enter them into the Sacrifice Pavilion for training!"
Li Chengfeng raised his hand again and announced the upcoming duel process to the warriors in the audience.
The warriors who were a little timid just now were extremely excited when they heard this process.
They only have about a hundred people here, and they have to select thirty people to enter the worship pavilion, which is almost one-third of the people!
In other words, as long as they can defeat three people of the same level, they can successfully enter the Tang Dynasty Enshrinement Pavilion!
Soon there were long queues in front of the three arenas.
Under the command of Tiance Army and Shadow Guard, the martial arts exercises were in full swing.
Li Chengfeng, Shadow and the generals of the Tiance Army came to the three arenas and sat down to watch the warriors fighting in pairs on the arena.
…
Sitting next to Li Chengfeng, Shadow looked around for a long time, seeming to be looking for something.
"Shadow, are you wondering why no one came to the Sacrifice Pavilion?"
Li Chengfeng seemed to see through Shadow's thoughts and pointed out the problem in one sentence.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, that is exactly what it is."
"The one who ultimately cultivates talents in this martial arts competition is the Chongfeng Pavilion."
"Shouldn't Huangfu Yi and the others come here to check the specific performance of the warriors?"
Shadow nodded and expressed his doubts.
Li Chengfeng did not answer his questions head-on.
"You will know after this incident."
"And who said they weren't watching the warriors competing? The people in the worship pavilion are watching!"
"We will be able to see them when the first stage of the points match is over in the evening."
Li Chengfeng crossed his legs and looked at the distant forest with interest.
…
At this time, in the distant jungle, Huangfu Yi was holding the telescope given by Li Chengfeng and looking at several arenas on the plain.
"The qualifications of these warriors are somewhat uneven!"
"Boy, why are you using this dirty trick? Can you use the three-way kick?"
"What's going on with that scholar? Can he be beaten by someone so thin? Isn't he here to deliver food?"
Huangfu Yi seemed to be immersed in the scene until the warrior next to him patted him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Huangfu, it's almost time for us to take action. We haven't finished the tasks arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince yet!"
Huangfu Yi then put down the telescope in his hand, which was like a magical weapon.
Ning Ning and the warriors around him walked into the depths of the forest to prepare for the task assigned to him by Li Chengfeng.
