Chapter 573: Be Careful, He's an Assassin!

cpa300_4(); The third competition is about to begin!

Everyone looked down at the bottom, but saw a lot of strong men running up around, three times and two times to disassemble the floor on the martial arts field, spread a huge red cloth underneath, when those people pulled the red cloth away together, only to find that under the entire martial arts field, there are countless wooden stakes, these wooden stakes are deeply nailed to the ground, each has the thickness of a fist, densely distributed on the martial arts field, dazzling, like countless stars.

And on the Yaowu Tower in front of it, outside the third-story tower, a bright red brocade flower was hung high!

When I saw this, I frowned slightly--could it be that the third competition was not a test of weapons and fists like before, but something to do with that flower?

The surrounding onlookers saw the wooden stakes on the field, and looked at the flowers, and they were also discussing, at this time, the officials at all levels of the invigilator had already walked to the viewing hall to ask for the holy drive, Pei Yuanhao slowly got up, and walked towards the Yaowu Tower over there with the queen and other concubines.

I followed with me.

After a while, the group went up to the three-story tower, where they could see the entire martial arts field below more clearly, and at the other end of the martial arts field, the ten test takers had already stood up and bowed down to the emperor.

Pei Yuanhao walked over, holding on to the railing with one hand, his dark eyes stared at the frost and looked down, and said loudly: "Listen, whoever can be the first to pick this brocade flower will be my martial champion!"

The people below immediately cheered, especially the ten test takers, all of whom were full of confidence and eager to try.

The corners of Pei Yuanhao's mouth twitched, and he continued: "He is also the commander of the 800,000 Praetorian Guards in this imperial city!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below!

Commander of the Praetorian Guard!

Although Chang Qing and I had considered that he might promote talents after this martial arts test, I didn't expect that he would really announce it like this!

The Nine Gates of the Imperial City, this is not just an official position, at some critical moments, this can even be said to be the lifeline of the Imperial City, I have experienced a coup d'état, and I know very well the stakes of the Nine Gates.

Moreover, these 800,000 Praetorian Guards used to be Yang Yunhui's cronies, and Pei Yuanhao has not been able to put them in the hands of trusted people over the years, and now he has to select a new person from the martial arts test, is it really trustworthy, and can he really suppress the 800,000 tiger and wolf army?

Not only the test takers on the field, but even the officials in the observation pavilion were shocked, and I saw Shen Gongyi get up in amazement from a distance, although he was so far away, he could also feel the greedy light in those shrewd eyes, and he held the fence with both hands, as if he was about to crush and crush if he grabbed it, and he would never let go.

Then, his gaze turned to the group of test takers, and one of them, a tall, extraordinarily heroic young man, glanced at him, and nodded vigorously at him with an excited, determined smile on his somewhat childish face.

Even Chang Qing, who had always been indifferent, changed her face slightly, looked at me, and I also looked at her with some worry, and both of them looked at Pei Yuanhao's back at the same time.

Although Sun Jingfei's hand just now is indeed extraordinary, but after all, the exam is not over yet, maybe there are any variables, although he admires Sun Jingfei, he shouldn't just announce it, in case there is any accident, if this position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard falls into the hands of someone else-

He shouldn't be such an impulsive person.

But we are not allowed to think about it any more, and we see the examiner below walking to a high platform with a huge gong and drum hanging on it, and he holds a wooden chase, and says loudly, "Listen." All test takers must compete on the stake, and those who fall off the stake will lose, and whoever can pick the safflower first within a pillar of incense will be the winner!

"Hear me clearly!"

"Alright, let's start the competition!"

After saying that, he slammed the gong hard, and after a loud bang, those test takers rushed up, jumped on the stakes, and ran towards Yaowu Tower!

Martial arts practitioners, the next plate is unstable and has no vitality, so the plum blossom pile has always been a compulsory skill for martial artists to learn, these ten candidates can go to the present, and they are by no means idle, one by one on the wooden stake walking like flying, and after a while, they gathered from all directions to Yaowu downstairs.

I have to say that Sun Jingfei is worthy of the emperor's appreciation, his skills are very solid, walking on the plum blossom pile like flying, is the first to go downstairs, but just as he was about to get up and climb the building, the people behind him have immediately chased up, grabbed his ankle and dragged him down!

The eyes of those of us were actually on him, and at this time we also had a look in our hearts.

Seeing that he was about to be torn off the stake, he didn't panic at all, his body flipped in the air, and he cleverly stepped on the stake on the other side, holding himself hard!

But immediately, other people have already caught up, climbing the building, obstructing the obstruction, for a while, you come and go, and the fight is inextricable.

As far as martial arts are concerned, I am indeed a layman, and I can only see the excitement and subtlety of each move, but I can clearly see the situation below - these ten people, in fact, the relationship is very delicate, they are enemies with everyone, but in some specific circumstances, they will inevitably cooperate to resist the enemy, and after the enemy is removed, they will immediately restore the hostile relationship, and that feeling is like putting wild beasts in a cage, biting each other, and fighting each other.

No matter what means you use, you must live to the end!

I know very well that the feeling of being surrounded by enemies on all sides is to be wary of everyone, and to take every opportunity to help others get rid of their enemies, because their enemies are also their own enemies; even, when they are attacked, they must retain their strength, and they will inevitably lead the flames of war to others, and only in this way can they survive to the end.

The feeling of being trapped in a desolate world, and I can only survive with the last of my strength, although I try my best to forget myself, I have never been able to truly forget it, as if it has been imprinted into my life.

Because of this, I saw something strange in this melee.

Of the ten, there seemed to be two or three of them, who had just joined forces to defeat one of them, and they attacked the next target almost simultaneously until that target was also defeated.

No matter how they fought with the people around them, they were never hostile.

Is this my delusion?

But there was a kind of uneasiness in my heart, which came up faintly.

In an instant, there were already three people who were kicked off the plum blossom pile, Sun Jingfei had a few moves with those people, and his brows tightened, seeing that one of them swept over with a kick, and wanted to kick off the wooden stake under his feet, he simply stomped hard, and the wooden stake under his feet broke in response, and he had already jumped up, climbed on a layer of towers, and looked down.

As soon as the men saw him take the lead, they looked at each other, and they all climbed up one after another.

Upstairs, the battle became more intense, I held on to the fence and looked down, I could only see them coming and going, fists and feet, although Sun Jingfei was tall and burly, but not bulky at all, but very flexible, he wrapped one hand around the red silk hanging from the corner of the building, his body flew up, constantly shuttling under the attack of several people.

But even so, two fists are difficult to reach four hands, those few people seem to regard him as an opponent, under the siege of several people, he has no way to take another step, can only stalemate in the center of the second floor, watching two people fall on the corner of the building to trap him, the other quickly climbed up, and in an instant he was about to reach the third floor.

Sun Jingfei looked up, and his face became extremely solemn.

He wrapped the red silk around his waist with his backhand, and kicked at one of them with his strength, and the person was not afraid, and kicked it hard, and the two of them hit on the foot, Sun Jingfei took advantage of that force, jumped up, climbed the corner of the building with one hand and looked down, the corner of his mouth hooked a sneer, and then looked up again, the person who climbed the highest also looked down and saw the movement below, his foot was just stepping on the corner of the house, and Sun Jingfei's hand was only a size away.

At this time, the people around couldn't help but gasp.

If he stepped on it now, Sun Jingfei would be kicked downstairs by him even if his hand was not injured.

Unexpectedly, this person didn't have any entanglement with Sun Jingfei at all, but stepped down hard, the tiles in the corner of the house were shattered by force, and his whole person was as light as a harrier turning over, and he jumped up to the third floor with his strength, and climbed the fence outside the tower with one hand.

The red flower was already in front of his eyes.

When the people below saw his dangerous move, those who knew how to do it also applauded, and this person's kung fu is indeed not simple!

Almost all of them have one thing on their minds.

He won today's competition!

However, as soon as I saw him jump up to the third floor and climb outside, the uneasiness in my heart became more and more restless at this moment, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, as if I realized something, I immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Be careful, he is an assassin!"

Almost at the same time, Sun Jingfei also shouted: "Assassin!"

"What, Assassin?"

The people around were all taken aback.

Today's martial arts test, the emperor and queen have come to Yaowu Tower, the original guards are extremely strict, and after the previous competition, Yaowu Tower inside and outside are very clear, and these candidates are not allowed to bring any weapons on their bodies, only they are allowed to climb the building with their bare hands to fight, even if there are really assassins, there is no way to assassinate at this time.

Therefore, when Sun Jingfei and I shouted out, the people around were stunned for a moment.

But at this moment of lightning, the man's hand climbing the fence pinched it fiercely, and his five fingers pierced into the wood like iron hooks, and he actually crushed the wooden block, and pulled out a thick iron nail from it, shining with cold light.

Suddenly, the people around were stunned.

He jumped forward with all his might, and the sharp iron nail pierced straight towards Pei Yuanhao's eyebrows!
