Chapter 160 Seven Registration

The center of the capital is where the imperial palace is located, covering an area of ​​five hundred miles, which is larger than the capital of Dingjiang County.Within the city wall more than [-] meters high, dozens of towers tower above the city wall, pointing directly to the sky.Looking from a distance, amidst the splendor and splendor, there is an incomparably grand and solemn aura.

Outside the palace, dozens of buildings are neatly divided around the branch, and all the important departments of the entire dynasty are located here.A large building next to the east wall of the palace is where the military headquarters is located.

When Xia Zhanhong arrived, there was already a long queue outside the gate of the military headquarters, winding for more than 500 meters.

"So many people!" Xia Zhanhong frowned slightly when he saw the long snake-like team from a distance.He had asked Zhao Xiang before that in the past leader selection, there were no more than 200 applicants at most, but now this team has at least 500 applicants.

"If you know this, you should go out earlier... It seems that you can only line up here for the whole day!" Xia Zhanhong shook his head slightly, and strode towards the end of the line.

As soon as he got close, Xia Zhanhong heard a burst of complaints: "Damn, what kind of broken rules are these! Do you have to line up by yourself and let the people line up differently! Why don't you just fill in the correct identity at that time!"

"Xiao Zhu, please speak softly, let the people in the military department hear it, and you will be disqualified!" Another low voice advised.

Xia Zhanhong watched intently, and saw two young men standing in front of him, one fat and one thin, both in their twenties, well dressed, they looked like they were the children of the family.At this time, the fat man named Xiao Zhu looked angry, and the thin man was trying to persuade him in a low voice.

"So what if I was disqualified? I didn't want to come, but my father forced me to come! I couldn't even sleep well in the early morning, and I still had to f*cking queue up here. Do I deserve to suffer this... …Being my rich young master at home, with food, drink and beautiful women, is not much better than being a bad commander!" The fat man became more and more angry, the veins around his temples swelled up, his neck was swollen, and he flung his hands and pulled himself away. The thin man turned around and was about to walk out of the team.

The thin man's left hand was thrown off, and his right hand stretched out extremely fast, and with a slap, he grabbed the fat man's sleeve again, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhu, you've lost your temper again, right? If you go back now, Your father can break your legs!"

When the fat man heard this, his swollen neck immediately drooped, and the veins on his forehead and temples also calmed down. He said with a slumped face, "F*ck, I heard that four commanders were chosen before, why do we have to choose ten all at once this time?" Two! Otherwise, my father would never let me come... The little concubine I brought in hasn't moved a finger yet!"

Seeing that the fat man calmed down, the thin man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "No one knows why there will be more places this time! However, when the opportunity comes, we must seize it, you don't want to be a rice bug for the rest of your life... Your father is only your son, if you don't make progress, your branch will definitely fade out of the Zhu family's core in the future!"

The fat man looked at the thin man, with a smile on his face. In the blink of an eye, he couldn't see the appearance of committing a crime just now.

Tapping the thin man's shoulder lightly, the fat man said: "You wolf cub, you can really talk! You can persuade me every time... But, I heard that your father was excluded again, is it true! "

The thin man nodded, with a firm expression on his face: "So, this time, I must choose a leader to prove to everyone that my father and son are not useless!"

"It's no big deal, I'll tell my dad later..." The fat man was dancing and talking, but the thin man grabbed him violently.He glanced behind him.

"Yeah!" The fat man was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw Xia Zhanhong who was listening behind him.He always thought that he and the wolf cub were the last ones, and he really didn't notice when Xia Zhanhong was behind him.

Turning around abruptly, the fat man glared at Xia Zhanhong, and said angrily, "Boy, are you eavesdropping on us?"

Xia Zhanhong smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Your voice was so loud just now, I heard it even if I didn't want to!"

"What are you talking about, you're looking for a beating, right?" The fat man's face was full of anger, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was about to grab Xia Zhanhong's clothes.

When the thin man saw it, he hurriedly stepped in front of the fat man, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhu, don't cause trouble! You can't blame him for this!" Then, the thin man turned around, cupped his hands at Xia Zhanhong and said, "This Brother, my friend is reckless in nature, and you must not pay attention to the words that offend you!"

Xia Zhanhong nodded to the thin man with a smile, and said, "It's okay... But, you have to be careful with your brother. If he is disqualified because of impulsiveness, it will not be worth the loss!"

The thin man chuckled, thanked Xia Zhanhong repeatedly, then turned around and grabbed the fat man, dragging him to turn around.

Xia Zhanhong looked at the backs of the two people in front of him, and the smile on his face deepened. After hearing the conversation between the two, he realized that the reason why so many people came to sign up was because the number of places had increased. In this way, he could be selected more likely.

"Hi..." The vermilion military gate slowly opened, registration began, and the team moved forward little by little.

The sun rose higher and higher, and as the team moved forward slowly, more and more people rushed over. After a while, Xia Zhanhong also joined a long line behind him.

At the same time as the outside registration started, on the tiger hall in the center of the military headquarters, a robust old man with a red face and white beard and hair was sitting in the center of the main seat. In the room, I was radiant.Sitting there, an invisible momentum like a mountain filled the entire Tiger Hall.

Ji Chen stood quietly at the old man's hand, raised his eyes to look at him, and was silent.

After a while, the old man said softly: "Xiao Chen, the selection of commanders is not a matter of the military department. The people in charge of the official department and the household department are all supervisors. This is the rule set by the ancestors, and no one can change it... Zhou’s family from the Ministry of Finance, and Zheng’s family from the Ministry of Household Affairs, they’re here! It’s not easy to be selected by cheating!”

Ji Chen lowered his head slightly, with a pensive look on his face, and after a while, raised his head and said, "Third Uncle, Xia Zhanhong is determined to come to participate in the selection of the commander, so it can be seen that this is what he wants, and he doesn't care whether he has real power or not... ...Once he loses the election, I think he will definitely leave the Ordnance Bureau...He is the middle-level agent of the Pavilion of Rare Treasures and the savior of the little princess of the Nalan family, we can't even use force!"

The old man frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This time the quota has been increased to twelve. With his high-level cultivation in the martial arts school, he should be able to get one quota!"

Ji Chen shook his head and said: "There are more places, and more people come to participate. There must be a lot of martial artists with high-level or higher cultivation in martial arts schools! In addition, everything else is easy to say, and the first level is really a bit difficult." ... I don't know who came up with the idea this time!"

"Hmph!" The old man sneered: "Except for that old bastard of the Zhou family who can come up with such a bad move! He has already retreated, and he still doesn't stop! His old-fashioned son only knows how to obey orders. There is no style of…”

Ji Chen thought about it for a while, then said hesitantly, "Third uncle, otherwise, let's go to the emperor! Let him tell the Zhou family, and the Zhou family will listen to him!"

The old man thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, the emperor will never do this. It is impossible for him to open his mouth to the Zhou family for such a trivial matter!"

"It's still a trivial matter!" Ji Chen opened his eyes wide, and said loudly, "Now we have such a great demand for the Ten Liannu, if Xia Zhanhong really quits, we won't be able to find anyone to replace him... Ten Liannu, if we send spies to the No. 72 General Banner, the danger will increase greatly. Isn't the clue we just found just..."

The old man waved his hand violently and interrupted Ji Chen: "Needless to say, I'll tell you, it's definitely useless for you to find the emperor..." After pondering for a while, the old man continued: "Well, I'll go find old man Zhou! Look at Xia Zhanhong, if he really loses the election, tell him that I will be responsible for helping him get a prestigious title!"

Ji Chen nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go first... Third Uncle, then I'll go first!"

The old man responded lightly and nodded. Seeing this, Ji Chen turned his head and walked out of the tiger hall.

When he arrived at the door, Ji Chen seemed to have thought of something, turned around again, and said to the old man, "Third Uncle, last time you said that I was not good at doing things, so you borrowed the ten-linked crossbow from me! This time I But I sent the parts to the Ordnance Bureau, so I should return the ten-linked crossbow to me!"

The old man stood up and waved his hands outward: "When the selection of the commander is over and Xia Zhanhong is confirmed to stay in the Ordnance Bureau, I will return the ten-linked crossbow to you!" Then he turned around and walked towards the side door.

"I knew it was like this!" Ji Chen watched the old man disappear, shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, turned and left.

The sun was setting, and the day passed quickly. At dusk, Xia Zhanhong finally registered his name and hurried back home.

When he got home, it was already late. After dinner, Xia Zhanhong was just about to go back to his room when rumors spread about Zhao Xiang's sudden visit.

"Huh? It's so late...Brother Zhao seldom comes to see me at this time, so don't let anything happen!" Xia Zhanhong hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet him.

When Xia Zhanhong was going out to meet him, Zhao Xiang had already strode over. When he saw Xia Zhanhong from a distance, he burst out laughing, his expression full of complacency.

Seeing Zhao Xiang's expression, Xia Zhanhong felt relieved, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhao, looking at this, is there anything happy?"

Zhao Xiang stepped forward, put his hand on Xia Zhanhong's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, tell me how you can thank me! I ran for a day today to investigate all the powerful characters who participated in the selection of the leader. Out!"
