"This is worthy of the elite of the forbidden army-"

When the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion finished practicing the last car suspension formation, Xiao Yu's face finally eased a few points: "Looking at the army of this brigade, the battle formation is skillful, and it is not much better than the Xiao guards in front of His Majesty's palace." ”

When Yu Shiji heard this, he laughed: "Brother Xiao's words are too much to praise." Purely in terms of battle formations, the army of this brigade is still inferior to Xiaowei, at most it is the level of the government army. But the guards in the palace don't have much time for training. And the mere act of due diligence is hard to come by. I wonder what Her Royal Highness thinks of her?"

Empress Xiao didn't answer immediately, she still looked at someone standing in the formation under the royal platform, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes. It wasn't until the army of this brigade withdrew from the front of the imperial platform that she retracted her gaze, and there was also a shallow smile in her eyes: "Very good, after today's small reading, this guard can be rewarded heavily." ”

"Obey the order!"

The answer was the right Beishen Mansion Beishen Zhizhai Dugu Cheng, and at this time, the eyes of this person were full of luck.

These 12 brigades have been reviewed so far, and the performance of their right reserve government is not much better than that of the left reserve government. Dugu Cheng, as the acting official of the Right Reserve Mansion, was ready to assume the responsibility of dereliction of duty.

He thought that it was unlikely that he would lose his official position this time, but he would inevitably be reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, and his face was gloomy.

Fortunately, there is also Li Shimin's left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, which has somewhat prepared their right mansion for them and saved some face.

"Those who do their duty must be rewarded, but those who neglect their duties cannot go unpunished!"

Su Wei frowned tightly, and snorted coldly: "These gentlemen are becoming more and more disagreeable!"

In this training exercise, his eldest grandson Su Yi was also among them, and he was the most unbearable one. Therefore, this person's face is also like the bottom of a pot.

And Dong Chun, the general of the left body, also got up from his seat at this time, and bowed in front of Empress Xiao and King Yue: "The ministers are attached to the proposal, the left and right reserve mansions have been scattered for a long time, and the atmosphere is corrupt, so it is really necessary to reorganize and purge." ”

"The words of the two Aiqing are reasonable. ”

Empress Xiao is as good as a stream, and she has never changed color before, that is, she is just concerned about the faces of these two people.

"However, this palace is only a female streamer, and it is not familiar with the military. This matter will be handed over to you to deal with at your discretion, and then Yu Xiao and General Pei will supervise it together. Zhuqing, the military ban on the safety of the imperial palace, this purge must be strict and serious! Half a year later, this palace hopes to prepare the palace left and right, so that my palace can be impressed!"

Yu Shiji was slightly flustered when he heard this, and then raised the corners of his lips mockingly. Thinking that the skill of this highness was indeed not inferior to that of the succession, he immediately bowed down and said respectfully: "The ministers must obey the decree!"

※ ※ ※ ※

Li Shimin didn't know the discussions of these important ministers on the imperial platform, nor did he know that a storm was about to blow away in the left and right reserve mansions. He was leading his subordinates, and returned to his original position in the face of the strange gazes cast around him.

These sights are full of envy and unexpectedly curious. Among them, the former is the majority, and the latter is not a few.

Li Shimin was not surprised, after all, they had just come out of the limelight, and the current left guard of Chongwen Pavilion was undoubtedly an outlier compared to the mud-like left and right.

Obviously, he also found that the soldiers behind him had more and more arrogant expressions on their faces, and he secretly laughed.

Now these soldiers who have been trained by Li Shimin do not know how much to recognize and thank Li Shimin.

Fortunately, it was not long before all the 12 brigades were inspected and began to enter the process of testing for combat skills. The attention of the people around them was gradually attracted by the movement ahead.

It is worth mentioning that the four brigades behind them only lasted until the fourth formation at most, and then collapsed. So the time was quite fast, and it didn't take a moment in total.

And the next combat skills test school starts from the left and right preparation of the body, and the division of the shooting preparation. Among them, the former is in charge of the Thousand Ox Sword Guard, and the latter is in charge of the imperial bow and arrow, which is held by the good archer, all of whom are martial arts positions of the six grades, and are in charge of an army of 600 to 1,000 people in the palace. And the left and right reserve mansions, the total is only sixty-four.

These people are all martial arts cultivators above the fourth grade. Among them, there are even many strong people who break through the handsome level and step into the third grade. Li Shimin's location just happened to be able to see the examination process of these people, which was an eye-opener.

It's a pity that these Qianniu and Si Gun Guards don't need to carry out the actual combat of ink armor, as long as the strength, speed, riding, archery, and armor skills and so on meet the standards.

Next is Li Shimin's preparation on this floor, and when he walked to the stone lock, countless eyes came over. Because of the previous conflict with Wang Zikai, at this time, no matter where he goes, he is eye-catching.

Li Shimin turned a blind eye, and held a stone lock of about 2,000 catties high above his head, and insisted on ten breaths before putting down the stone lock.

In addition to weightlifting, he also needs to turn back and run, back and forth for a hundred zhang, and he needs to run into a certain period of time before he is qualified.

After that, there is archery, not the static kind, but the bow of the royal armor in the gallop, and within a distance of 100 zhang, it needs to be at least ten three. The speed must also be maintained at 10 paces per breath, otherwise the results will be invalid.

There is also the armor technique, Li Shimin must drive the ink armor to run at high speed for 300 zhang, dodging those dense obstacles and wooden stakes on the way, and it is best to take a hundred breaths and not touch any obstacles.

After that, it is necessary to test the use of weapons to resist the arrows, and a total of twelve archers from all directions, each with twenty arrows, will shoot at him with all their might. And if Li Shimin wants to meet the standard, he can't be shot more than 60 times by these arrows without arrows.

In addition to these, there are the remaining six assessments, which are extremely cumbersome.

Fortunately, these standards are not strict, and any of the six products can be easily done. Therefore, Su Yi and Yang Jishan were barely qualified, which also made the Sun Nayan on the royal platform look a little better.

Not to mention Li Shimin, he neither deliberately hid his strength, nor did he want to be too showy, and his results were above most of the reserves, and his level was good. This also made many people who heard of his reputation look at each other with admiration, feeling that this person is not like the rumored unlearned.

But that's all, except for some people present who know Li Shimin's roots, basically no one is optimistic about the battle between him and Wang Zikai.

Unfortunately, when these combat skills assessments were over, Li Shimin's first opponent in the actual combat assessment was Wang Zikai.

It is said that the battle list for this actual combat assessment was drawn by Shangguan and randomly assigned, but Li Shimin seriously doubted the authenticity of this statement. But it doesn't matter, in Li Shimin's opinion, today's battle between him and Wang Zikai is going to happen sooner or later anyway, and it's the same sooner or later.

When he came to the ring, he saw that Wang Zikai had already put on a silver-white captain-level ink armor and stood on the stage.

There is a lieutenant drawn from Zuo Wuwei as a referee, and two figures dressed in green robes and dressed as civil officials are in charge of supervision. When Li Shimin arrived, one of them looked at him with a cold gaze.

"You are the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, preparing for Li Shimin?"

Seeing Li Shimin leaning over, the man pointed to the side again, and his voice fluctuated without fluctuations: "Over there are your ink armor and weapons, wear them well, go to the stage quickly, and don't delay!"

Li Shimin stepped forward as he said, pressed the ink box with his hand, and just as he wanted to press the mechanism and put on the armor, he frowned slightly, and looked back with a suspicious gaze: "There is a problem with this armor, it is damaged in as many as seven places, I don't know if the supervisor ever knows?"

The man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face was gloomy: "Nonsense! These armors used by the lieutenant rank are all provided by the military department, and General Zuo Wuwei personally inspected them, what is the problem?"

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, he had already understood the general situation at this time, but he looked at this person without giving in: "Don't hide the supervision, and you can also use the skills of armor making in the bottom." Whether there is a problem with this ink armor, you only need to touch it with your hand to know the approximately. So today, the Overseer will either replace it for me, or have the Craftsman inspect it, or—"

Li Shimin's voice paused slightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "Directly admit defeat and leave." ”

This person did not answer, and still looked at Li Shimin coldly. After a full ten breaths, this one snorted coldly, and let people take another ink armor out.

Li Shimin raised his hand slightly, took the ink box in his hand, and after a while, he laughed again. There is still a problem with this armor, but the technique is much more hidden, and ordinary armor makers are afraid that they will not be able to detect it. He himself has been able to find out because of the rapid progress in the art of armor-making recently.

In addition to self-deprecation in his heart, he was also angry. This Su Yi and the others really value him. It doesn't matter if you ask Wang Zikai, who is a fourth-grade cultivator, to make a move, but he still has to do something on the ink armor, which is really cautious.

In addition, these two are afraid that they really have plans to abolish him in the ring.

"A has been replaced, if you are still not satisfied, then let me go!"

The green-robed civil official's eyes were slightly condensed, revealing a sense of mockery: "The dignified martial arts Li family's disciples, they are actually cowardly before fighting, what excuse do you have to find?" The so-called top Kanto shogun seems to be nothing more than that. ”

"The inspector doesn't need to force me with words, this guy is a fourth-grade, is it embarrassing to admit defeat? As for this armor, there are still three hidden dangers in the legs, and it really can't be detected under the investigation? But it doesn't matter, this armor is enough. Don't blame you for not reminding me, I don't know what benefits you received from them, but in the ring today, you are bound to see blood, and you can't afford the consequences-"

Li Shimin slapped the ink box button and put the armor on his body. Then he took a long lance and two straight knives from the weapon rack. After weighing it a little, he found that these weapons were fine, and then he stepped into the ring step by step.

Behind him, the face of the green-robed civil official was already pale, and his eyes were suspicious.

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to it, and his whole body was infused, staring at his opponent. The prince Kai seemed to be impatient to wait for a long time, and directly pointed a spear in his hand at him, and his words were full of contempt: "I have to say, you are really stupid." I thought that today, you would take sick leave. ”

Li Shimin only felt a fierce killing intent overlooking his body, cold and sharp, and his eyebrows were stabbed. But his face was the same, and he stood firm on the stage with his ink armor, and at the same time looked at the other side with a cold gaze: "Why don't you dare to come?" What's more, your prince Kai is not qualified for this. ”
