Chapter 9: On the eve of the martial arts

In the spring of the third year of the Northern Qi Dynasty, due to the successive defeats and heavy losses in the war with the south, Emperor Huanyang Baili Rongchen promulgated a new military service law, which greatly improved the strength of conscription and the treatment of the army, and gradually abolished the hereditary Jiupin Zhongzheng system of officials who were full of malpractices, and implemented the system of military merit and knighthood, which provided an opportunity for the vast number of aspiring civilians to increase their official ranks.

As soon as this law came out, the people praised it, and even once circulated the poem "and give up the field and hoe, and fight for the golden armor", which shows the depth of its entry into the hearts of the people. In response to this situation, Baili Rongchen carried out this year's martial arts in advance, and the top three would not only be rewarded by Emperor Baili Rongchen in person, but also obtain a part of the Northern Qi military power to support the front line.

If Gu Changge wants to fight with the palace family, the royal family, and even the hidden family in the East China Sea, he must have enough chips in his hands.

Therefore, this martial arts move is her first step, the first step to take revenge and revive the Gu family.

After planning everything for now, Gu Changge went out the day before the martial arts really started.

The martial arts are about to be held, the imperial capital has a strong martial style, and the people who come and go on the street are all Jianghu guests wearing long swords and holding big swords.

Most of the Jianghu guests are poor, and many of them can't afford to see the inns on the street that are black-hearted in price increases, at most they just have a meal in the hall on the first floor.

Gu Changge stopped in this kind of place, not because he had no money, but because the gossip in this kind of mixed place spread the fastest.

She strode into the hall of the inn in a man's samurai civilian clothes, the clothes were the most ordinary clothes, and they hid a momentum and master aura very well, no one noticed her, and the innkeeper also deliberately ignored her, and trotted straight past her behind her.

As soon as he passed in front of Gu Changge, he heard him shouting loudly: "This son, is it still a hotel?" ”

Gu Changge raised his eyebrows but didn't look back, and he was not angry with Xiao Er's behavior, so he picked a nearby table and sat down, and slowly poured a cup of tea.

The people in the hall glanced over at the sound and saw a proud young man wearing gold and silver at the door, followed by more than a dozen saber guards. Many people were envious, thinking that it was the young master of the imperial capital who came out to have fun.

I also thought that if I had a good score in this martial arts and won the opportunity to be crowned an official, I would inevitably have such a pomp, and some people also knew that they had a few brushes, and even if they couldn't get the ranking, the blue eyes of an official or sect that had a good performance were excellent, and I couldn't help but fantasize.

The young man who was proud of Xiao Er's eye-catching behavior in front of him and the envy in the eyes of everyone in the store looked around and was silent, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Changge, who was sitting quietly in the chaos.

The young man frowned, and suddenly felt that the flattery on the face of Xiao Er in front of him was also very eye-catching.

He snorted coldly, "You don't know who the little master is?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, why did the master in front of him suddenly change his face when he was obviously still happy.

He annoyed the angry boy even more, and kicked him in a hurry at the moment. Seeing Xiao Er being kicked on the adjacent table, he made a loud noise.

The innkeeper shouted from afar: "Eh, isn't this Liu Gongzi!" Extinguish the fire! ”

He smiled and bowed slightly, walked to Liu Yicheng's side to block his sight, and waved his hand to the crowd while he was not paying attention, and immediately someone carried Xiao Er, who was kicked to the ground, back.

Glancing at the shopkeeper who had cleaned up again, he looked at Liu Yicheng with a flattering smile, "Isn't it the past two days that I have been busy, I deliberately recruited two new guys, I didn't expect to provoke such a big man as Liu Gongzi so blindly!" ”

He quietly complimented Liu Yicheng, and beckoned him to go upstairs to the private room, "Please also ask Mr. Liu to look at the thin face of my villain, and stop this breath first, and the villain will definitely teach the blind thing a good lesson when he turns back." Why don't you think the money for this meal will be free today? ”

Gu Changge, who had been listening to the movement here, secretly raised his eyebrows, the shopkeeper in this store was clever, and he stabilized Liu Yicheng in anger in a few words, but he was exempted from a meal, not only took care of Liu Yicheng's face, but also became a good person in front of his subordinates, and more importantly, his way of doing things will definitely win the appreciation of the audience in the hall - no, when the shopkeeper walked past a few tables, he saw a few sword-wielding people nodding slowly, with a smile in their eyes.

Liu Yicheng was led upstairs by him, but when he passed by Gu Changge's side, he still looked indifferent, and Liu Yicheng's anger that had just disappeared instantly became a disaster.

He raised his leg and kicked on the stool where Gu Changge was sitting.

Unfortunately, it didn't kick.

Gu Chang's fingers were slightly bent, rubbing the edge of the coarse porcelain cup, but he didn't see the entrance of the tea, he looked like he was there, and he didn't take the man behind him in his eyes at all.

The people around knew that Liu Yicheng was fine, and there was a slight hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at her like a fool, and he looked like a warrior who came to participate in the martial arts, but he didn't want to provoke a character, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to leave in the imperial capital in the future.

The four great gentlemen in the imperial capital - Gong Drunk, Gong Yanhui, Liu Yicheng and Qiao Ren, that is known to everyone, except for the broken sleeve Gong Drunk, the other three have done many hurtful things with their own identities!

Now this kid doesn't know how much he has provoked Liu Yicheng, but I'm afraid that his future is worrying.

Liu Yicheng, who was in a hurry and kicked with all his strength but didn't even kick a stool, his face turned red and black, and he just wanted to get back face and shouted: "Master, you have to bear it if I kick your stool, and you dare to play tricks?" ”

The people around who were still surprised just now instantly understood that the feelings were not that the son of the Liu family was not good at martial arts, but that this kid was playing tricks...... Then there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

As soon as this contempt came out, the people in the rivers and lakes who just felt that Liu Yicheng was narrow-minded were a little guilty and ashamed of not knowing people, and even felt a trace of reason when they saw the killing moves in Liu Yicheng's hands.

I saw an afterimage flashing in front of him, and Liu Yicheng turned into a claw with one hand, condensing the internal force, and the wind grabbed towards the back of Gu Changge's head.

Gu Changge suddenly didn't realize that fierce and murderous aura, and slightly tilted his head and took a sip of the cold tea in the teacup in his right hand. seemed to be unintentional, and the action happened to avoid Liu Yicheng's killing move.

Seeing the excitement in their hearts, they were amazed and praised for their good luck, but the next second, they were all stunned and their eyes widened.

In the midst of the noise, the fist with a strong wind swept Gu Changge's hair, but suddenly the wind stopped, and the wrist of the owner, who was lying on Gu Changge's shoulder, was firmly but easily held in Gu Changge's hand.

She grabbed Liu Yicheng's wrist, but it was as easy as grasping a ball of soft mud, and the expression on her face was very casual and casual. He slowly put down the teacup with his right hand, shook his head and said lightly: "Shopkeeper, it's cold, change the pot of tea." ”

The faces of the rest of the people present were different, but their eyes were all turned to Gu Changge, and Liu Yicheng, whose face had turned the color of pig liver behind her.
