Chapter 172: Martial Arts Examination
After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally Ah Fei's turn, and the official asked, "Is there an official recommendation, or show off your talents?"
Ah Fei shook his head, he didn't have these things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The official said, "If you don't, you can't sign up." ”
Ah Fei was a little disappointed, and then left the team that signed up.
Tang Mo followed behind Ah Fei and left the team together, Tang Mo didn't plan to sign up, but at this moment, Tang Mo was a little glad in his heart, fortunately, the imperial court had strict requirements for martial arts, otherwise I am afraid that once Ah Fei signed up, he would be insulated from the rivers and lakes from now on.
Ah Fei left the place where he signed up all the way, looking a little disappointed.
At this time, a person walked in front of Ah Fei, this person looked very young, only in his twenties, but he had an extraordinary bearing, he should be a martial arts practitioner.
The martial arts practitioner said to Ah Fei, "Little brother, did you fail to sign up?"
Ah Fei nodded, he really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to register for a name, Wuju directly turned him away, and didn't even give him a chance.
The martial arts practitioner said, "Little brother, don't be discouraged, you missed this opportunity, you still have a long way to go, what is the future, who can decide for you? Remember my name, my name is Li Xunhuan." ”
Looking at the young martial artist named Li Xunhuan in front of him, Ah Fei's heart was encouraged, and he said, "Thank you."
Ah Fei rarely says thank you, and when he says thank you, he really wants to thank him.
Tang Mo next to him was staring at Li Xunhuan, and he didn't notice it just now, but when he knew that he was Li Xunhuan, Tang Mo realized that he was really handsome.
Li Xunhuan told Ah Fei that he also wanted to sign up. said that he hoped that Ah Fei could watch his competition.
Ah Fei also hated Li Xunhuan in his heart, so he immediately agreed.
Not long after, Li Xunhuan reported his name, and Ah Fei had been waiting for him.
Li Xunhuan went to the inn with Ah Fei and Tang Mo, and then found an inn to live in, after staying in the inn, Ah Fei and Li Xunhuan talked together, they talked about the past and the future, of course, the present, the two drank together, talked and laughed, and became rare good friends almost instantly.
Ah Fei and Li Xunhuan kept talking late at night, while Tang Mo sat on the side and listened, Tang Mo appreciated the friendship between Ah Fei and Li Xunhuan very much.
The next morning, Li Xunhuan asked Ah Fei and Tang Mo to go to Cuihu Fang to play, which was a green building, a place where elegant literati go.
Ah Fei had never been to the Qinglou, so he agreed, Tang Mo hesitated a little and asked, "Brother Xunhuan, do I need to change into men's clothes?"
Li Xunhuan laughed, "Miss Jia doesn't have to, if someone asks, say that you are our maid." ”
Tang Mo had a whisper in his heart, "You are the maid, and your whole family is a maid." But there was still a smile on his face, "Everything is at the command of Brother Xunhuan." ”
The three of them rested for a day, and the meal in the middle was a simple meal brought directly by Xiao Er, and in the evening, Li Xunhuan took them to Cuihufang.
The three of them came to the shore of the lake, and then hired a small boat to go to the island in the middle of the lake, where the Green Lake Fang was located.
Ah Fei suddenly said, "Brother Xunhuan, if you go to Cuihufang to find other girls, Sister Shiyin won't blame you." ”
Li Xunhuan said, "No, Shiyin has always been the most empathetic, and we are just brothers and sisters, I don't think she will blame me." ”
The three of them went all the way to Cuihufang and finally the boat docked, and the three of them got off from putting on their clothes, paid the boatman's money, and walked along the bamboo and stone path towards Cuihufang together.
They didn't long come to the location of the Green Lake Fang in the middle of the lake, which is a very large building, and there were four beautiful girls standing at the entrance. ”
This Cuihu Fang is a famous green building in the whole capital, and there are many guests, and Li Xunhuan and the three of them walked into the Green Lake Fang, which is not particularly conspicuous.
They sat down in a corner of the hall, and then an elderly mother came over.
"Do you have any good girls?" she asked.
Li Xunhuan said, "No, we just need to find a girl to come and drink with us." ”
The older mother nodded, then turned and left, and in a short time two beautiful maidens arrived.
They looked extremely bold, one walked to Li Xunhuan and sat down, the other walked to Ah Fei's side, the girl who walked to Li Xunhuan's side was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the girl next to Ah Fei was fourteen or fifteen years old, after the two girls sat down, one took a wine glass and poured wine for Li Xunhuan, and the other poured wine for Ah Fei.
Although Li Xunhuan came to play, he was not in a hurry to drink, he hooked the girl's chin and said, "What's your name." ”
The girl said, "The slave family is called Qingyan. ”
The girl next to her said, "My name is Red Moon."
Hongyue with Qingyan, these two girls are indeed an excellent pair, Li Xunhuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Qingyan, you take a sip first." ”
Hearing this, Qingyan obediently took a sip, and Li Xunhuan picked up the wine glass, and then drank it all.
Ah Fei didn't have so much thought, and drank directly with the wine glass.
After the two drank a glass of wine, and then ate the dishes on the table, Qingyan and Hongyue hurriedly helped them with the dishes, Tang Mo thought with some jealousy, if he wasn't a daughter, I'm afraid there would be a girl to serve him today.
Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei borrowed wine to kill their sorrows, Ah Fei was because he failed to sign up for the martial arts examination, and Li Xunhuan was because of a person, a person he admired immensely, but was extremely painful, that person was called Long Xiaoyun.
Long Xiaoyun likes Lin Shiyin, Li Xunhuan has known it for a long time, but Lin Shiyin doesn't like Long Xiaoyun, even so, Li Xunhuan still wants to let it, because Long Xiaoyun is not only his senior brother, but also his savior.
At that time, Li Xunhuan's martial arts were still shallow, and he was chased and killed by a black-clothed masked man, and he was almost about to die under the opponent's knife, but at this time, Long Xiaoyun appeared and rescued Li Xunhuan from the opponent's knife.
I don't know why the man in black left Li Xunhuan later, but when Long Xiaoyun arrived, Li Xunhuan had fainted because he was too tired.
Because of this relationship, when he knew that Long Xiaoyun liked Lin Shiyin, even if Li Xunhuan liked Lin Shiyin, he still felt that he had to give up Lin Shiyin and not take away the person his senior brother loved.
More than ten days have passed, and the martial arts examination competition is finally about to begin, and the martial arts examination does not limit the qualifications of spectators, and the martial arts examination held in the royal school field allows everyone to come and watch.
On the day of the martial arts examination, the royal school field was particularly lively, and the inner and outer three floors were full of people watching, among which there were mostly martial arts people with swords.
The Martial Arts Examination stipulates that the weapon used must be one of the eighteen types of weapons.
Among these eighteen weapons, throwing knives are not included.
Li Xunhuan used a sword, he held the sword, and stood in the ring.
This first is a qualifying match, which requires you to win at least one game to qualify for the next exam.
The same person only has three qualifications at most, and if he still fails to win one of the three competitions, he will lose the qualification for the martial arts examination.
Li Xunhuan stood with his sword in his hand, hoping that someone would take the initiative to find him for a competition.
At this time, a strong man with five big and three thick saw Li Xunhuan, and then rushed towards Li Xunhuan with an iron rod in his hand, obviously seeing that Li Xunhuan was thin and weak, so he thought he was vulnerable.
Li Xunhuan watched the strong man rushing over, and he was also a little nervous in his heart, but he was not particularly nervous, he had his own confidence and grasp on his body.
Li Xunhuan saw the strong man rushing over with an iron rod, and then he retreated directly, a person with great strength like this, it is never the best choice to carry them hard, Li Xunhuan chose to temporarily retreat from his edge.
The strong man's iron rod swept, Li Xunhuan's knees bent back, his body sank to avoid the strong man's iron rod, and then took advantage of the opponent's iron rod not to return, and directly stabbed the strong man's throat with a sword, the strong man was terrified, Li Xunhuan's sword was not much slower than A Fei, and it stabbed the strong man's throat in the blink of an eye, and the strong man's offensive stopped, so he had to admit defeat.
Li Xunhuan saw that the strong man admitted defeat, but he did not withdraw the long sword, and he now had to wait for the referee to say that he had won.
"No. 128 won and qualified. The referee shouted.
Li Xunhuan was No. 128, he withdrew his long sword and walked towards the edge of the field.
Li Xunhuan came to the edge of the field, and Ah Fei said, "Brother Xunhuan, your sword just now is not much slower than mine. ”
"If you really try with a sword, I am no match for you. Li Xunhuan said to Ah Fei.
Ah Fei nodded, or his sword is faster, the test of martial arts, every bit is extremely important, it is related to life and death, if you really compete with Li Xunhuan, if Li Xunhuan chooses to use a sword, then Ah Fei is confident to win, but the weapon used by Li Xunhuan is not a sword, but a number of flying knives hidden in the sleeve, although Li Xunhuan's sword is not fast, but the flying knife is very fast, Li Xunhuan told Ah Fei that he is confident that he is not a congenital master, so he will not be able to dodge his flying knife.
Tang Mo wanted to defeat Li Xunhuan unless she cultivated the Nine Yin True Scripture to the tenth layer and reached the innate realm.
Li Xunhuan has already qualified for the promotion, so naturally he doesn't need to fight again.
Battles broke out in the school field, and the referee said from time to time who won and who lost.
The three battles can not only prevent people from indiscriminately filling the numbers, but also give those who have good martial arts but meet stronger opponents a chance, which is a very perfect and fair selection method, and the candidates who participate in the martial arts examination have no complaints or dissatisfaction.
After three hours, the first stage of selection was finally over, and almost a third of the people were eliminated, and the rest were more powerful.
Among these promotion tests, Li Xunhuan was by no means conspicuous, he only used a long sword, compared to those who held Fang Tian's halberd, he was just an inconspicuous one.
Li Xunhuan participated in the first stage of the selection successfully, and the second stage of the assessment will be held soon, this time the assessment is equestrian and archery assessment, because the final martial arts examination is to go to the battlefield to lead the troops to fight, so the martial arts examination must rely on horseback riding and archery kung fu, because this is the ability to fight a war, people who understand these two things, can be qualified to become a general, if a general can't even ride a horse and shoot arrows, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth?
Li Xunhuan naturally understands these two things, otherwise he would not have come to participate in the martial arts examination.
Soon it was Li Xunhuan's turn to play, he lined up to the entrance of the racecourse, and then took the reins of a white horse, this white horse seemed to be very spiritual, after seeing Li Xunhuan, he just glanced at him, and then stood silently, ready to go out to compete.
Finally, it was Li Xunhuan's turn to appear, he rode on the white horse, after a whip, the white horse rushed out with him, Li Xunhuan picked up the bow and arrow on the horseback, aimed at the target a hundred steps away, and shot an arrow out, the standard of the equestrian assessment is to shoot the target red heart a hundred steps away with a bow and arrow on the horse, and each examiner has three archery opportunities.
The arrow shot by Li Xunhuan instantly reached a hundred steps away, and with the power of deflection, it pierced the red heart fiercely.
But this is not over, Li Xunhuan swished twice, shot the remaining two arrows, and both hit the red heart of the target a hundred steps away.
"Li Xunhuan, the promotion is successful!" said the invigilator next to him.
After the equestrian assessment, the next item is the written test, the written test depends on military knowledge, including the art of war, strategy, attempts, schemes, etc., the most is to test the accumulation of a general, if it is a martial artist who does not understand anything, then there is no way to pass this exam, because this exam involves a lot of classics, and ordinary people will not read so much.
In order to prevent someone from cheating, before the written test began, the forbidden army directly drove the crowd of onlookers to a hundred meters away.
Then the written test begins, and one by one the candidates get the roll paper and start answering the questions.
Ah Fei looked at Li Xunhuan from afar, he couldn't see clearly from too far away, and he could only hope in his heart that he could successfully advance.
The written test lasted for a total of an hour, and when the time was up, he immediately began to hand in the papers, and one of the candidates howled and cried, saying please give me a little more time, but the soldiers of the forbidden army kicked him to the ground and took the test papers.
After handing in the papers, it is time to mark the papers, because the number of teachers is relatively small, so the results of the written test will not come out until two days later.
Li Xunhuan didn't mind anything, but left the school field silently.
Two days passed, and it was finally time for the small list to be released, and it was not surprising that Li Xunhuan passed the exam and won the top ten, ranking seventh.
Next, the examinees will go to the royal school field to hold the last exam, the actual combat assessment.
The so-called actual combat assessment is that the examiner sets the question, and then the candidates complete it together, and whoever performs the best is the first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the name of this actual combat assessment is called, "Red Clay Flower Protection". ”
Then dozens of beautiful girls came to the royal school ground, and opposite the examiners, there was a group of people in black, these people in black each held swords, although the weapons were average, but the performance was very strong.
Li Xunhuan looked at this group of people in black vigilantly, he smelled blood from this group of people in black, these people in black are all ruthless characters who have killed people and seen blood.
The people in black roared wildly, and then rushed towards Li Xunhuan and their trials, Li Xunhuan was not afraid of danger, and began to fight with the men in black with his sword, and with the fight, Li Xunhuan found that the martial arts of these men in black were just commonplace.
