Chapter 18 Competition

When Calamus got up on the second day, two good babies, one big and one small, were already sitting at the table, looking at her with a blank and flattering look. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Calamus was a little funny: "What, don't you fight?"

Xia Yanmei hugged Ning Shuang with a big grin, and said with a shameless smile: "When did we fight?" Didn't the two of us hit it off at first sight? Oh, a kind person like Ben Shao, sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants, cherishing the moth gauze lamp, seeing a cute and well-behaved child like Ning Shuang, how can he be willing to leave him alone? Right, Ning Shuang~"

Ning Shuang sat beside him, carefully sucking the porridge while nodding doggedly.

"Okay, okay, you are the kindest, you are the most faceful." Calamus shook her head helplessly, but turned around with a snicker, her eyebrows and eyes bent.

She knew that Yanmei had a hard mouth and a soft heart, and she reluctantly threw Ning Shuang outside. Nobume was like a hedgehog, his hard shell wrapped around his soft, messy heart. What about her, she is so compatible with Yanmei, does it mean that she is as soft as water, but her heart is as hard as a rock?

After she met Ji Mingsi, she often fell into such thoughts. She thinks that she is not a fragile person, but she will fall into the darkness and can't extricate herself when she is desperate, so how can Yanmei still smile like a child in the face of great harm?

Yan Mei didn't know about Calamus's complicated thoughts, he patronized and grabbed a few pieces of cured meat on the table with Ning Shuang, and the chopsticks of the two people fought dozens of rounds on the plate. Calamus originally wanted to stop it, but when she looked up and saw Ning Shuang's childlike smile and Yanmei's pampering smile for the first time, she gave up.

For a long, long time after that, Xia Iris wished that time would stop at that moment. It's a pity that time is like flowing water, cutting constantly, and it can't be stopped.

――――――――――――――――――――

This day is the day when the major families of the academy learn from each other. On this day, the weather was just right, the sun was shining, the autumn wind was blowing slightly, and the competition ground of the academy was already scattered with dead leaves. Everyone's faces were beaming, after all, it was a grand occasion once every three years, and it was also an opportunity to emerge, and the disciples of the major families were eager to try, wanting to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of their own family heads.

Not only a few big families, but also some small families have sent the best children and grandchildren in the family, just looking forward to him once the carp jumps over the dragon gate and shines on the lintel. So in this academy, it's really lively for a long time.

Xia Calamus and Yan Mei had already packed up early in the morning and joined Bai Su Baiqi and others. The academy has few disciples and is divided into inner and outer courts. In addition to Bai Su and other disciples in the inner courtyard who served by Xu Zong's side, there were only about fifty disciples in the outer courtyard.

The outer court is said to be disciples, but rather students, and the school year is ten years, and those who can persist in it will be arranged for military positions in the DPRK and the army according to their qualifications after completing their studies. Of the seven loyal ministers who were killed by Xu Ye last time, three were from the outer courtyard of the academy.

The disciples of the inner courtyard played a role in inheriting the name of the academy, and Xu Zong was very strict with the disciples of the inner courtyard on weekdays, and he had no requirements for the disciples of the outer court.

Yan Mei and Calamus had met all the inner courtyard disciples for the first time, but there were really some people they didn't know.

Ji Mingsi smiled and pulled out the timid child hiding behind him, introduced it to Calamus and said: "Calamus, this is Yin Qinyuan, the word of the military advisor Yin Yi."

Calamus has long heard the name of the military advisor Yin Yi, and now when she sees the only son of the military advisor, she has an inexplicable sense of closeness and affection, and she has pulled the boy to greet him. Bai Qi also pulled Ning Shuang and asked something.

Seeing that Bai Qi was so close to the children of the Ning family, Bai Su frowned and didn't say much.

Although Calamus and Yanmei are not disciples of the inner courtyard of the academy, they are friends with the inner courtyard, and Jiang Wangchuan cherishes Calamus's talent and has always had the intention of accepting apprentices. Xu Zong also often mentions it with Xia Yanmei, and he also has a very good impression of this pure-hearted child. Therefore, Calamus and Yanmei are also counted as half of the disciples of this academy.

At this time, the elders of several major families were already seated in the stands, and behind Xu Zong stood in a row Bai Su, Bai Qi, A Yuan, Liu Ran, Yin Qin Kite, Yan Mei and Calamus. As for Ji Mingsi, the natural identity of the prince is no better than others, and he has his own seat. Ning Shuang was also embarrassed by her identity and stood behind Ji Mingsi.

There were hundreds of disciples standing under the stands, a large area of black pressure. They are all elites from various families, and the previous preliminary test has been drawn by lot, and the ones who are on the field today are the top fifty of these hundreds of people.

Bai Su and Bai Qi naturally passed easily, and Yanmei had no interest in this kind of conference and did not participate in the competition. To everyone's surprise, Liu Ran actually passed the preliminary examination.

Since Liu Ran passed the first exam, he has been proud from yesterday to today. Bai Su and the others knew that Liu Ran was good at using medicine, so he must have used some means, but his little girl was happy, and several senior brothers were happy not to expose it.

When Bai Qi passed the first test, he deliberately glanced at Ning Huang. As the fourth place in the Ning family, Ning Huang naturally passed easily before he sacrificed his puppet. He noticed Bai Qi, spit out his slender tongue and licked his lips, and made an extremely insulting gesture to Bai Qi viciously.

Bai Qi only didn't see it, and the fighting spirit in his heart was even stronger, and the dragon pattern on the scabbard of the sword was almost imprinted on his hand. Ah Yuan noticed that Bai Qian's mood was wrong, and touched Bai Qi worriedly.

"A-Yuan." Bai Qi smiled, his white teeth gently bit his lip and said, "You wait and see, there will be a good show tomorrow."

And the tomorrow that Bai Qi said in his mouth is this day. He was ready and ready to go. The young eagle has full wings, just waiting for the laurel to be picked up today, and come out on top.

Xu Zong saw that everyone had arrived, and turned around to signal Bai Su. Bai Su nodded, turned over and jumped, stepped on the red pillar next to the stands and climbed three steps in a row, reached out to hook the hook flower on the top of the stands, circled around the beam above the stands, and then stretched out his hand to shake the huge bronze bell hanging on the top of the stands, and the bronze bell made three loud noises in a row. The noisy crowd in the stadium instantly fell silent.

After Bai Su rang the bell, he fell steadily from the stands several meters high on his tiptoes, his movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he did not make the slightest sound when he landed.

Yan Mei pursed her lips on the side and quipped, "Show off." Calamus grumbled at his arm, not allowing him to talk nonsense.

Bai Su stood in the center of the field, turned around and knelt on one knee, hugged his fist at Xu Zong in the stands, and said respectfully: "Master."

Everyone in the field was shocked by his amazing action, the action was not difficult, and most of the people present could do it. It's just that there are fewer people who can be like him and not make the slightest sound.

This in itself Bai Su didn't want to show off. It's just that now everyone says that the academy disciples are scarce, and it is already twilight, and some people even have contempt. Bai Subi's approach is nothing more than giving these so-called elites a disadvantage. He is very useful, the originally noisy venue is now quiet like no one.

Bai Sulang said, "Respectfully dean!"

Xu Zong stood up, he rarely changed his gray characters today, and put on a dark blue robe, looking majestic and spiritual. He looked around majestically and said:

"Today's competition is a triennial test for the college. Not limited to men and women, not limited to the poor. ”

"The winner can voluntarily stay in the academy."

"Life and death don't matter, you should do what you can, you can't be reckless and competitive, you will miss your own life, and the college will not be responsible."

"There is only one round of competition, and the academy has its own fate, and the loser does not have to be entangled."

His voice was loud and clean, he didn't shout at the top of his voice, and he didn't use those sound-transmitting equipment, but the sound magically resounded inside and outside the venue, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Yan Mei told Calamus that a master with profound skills can use internal force to spread his voice.

Calamus listened to it and paid more respect to Xu Zong.

After Xu Zong finished speaking, he gestured to Bai Su, and Bai Su immediately announced: "The game is on!"

Two people came up on the stage. The competition was an elimination system, and one of the two was a disciple of the outer courtyard of the academy, wearing the uniform clothes of the outer courtyard of the academy, holding a sword, and his posture was handsome.

On the other side, there was a broad-faced, thick-nosed, bearded, dark-skinned man, holding two hammers, and before he could play, he smashed the hammer in his hand to the ground, making an earth-shattering sound. As the hammer landed, cheers erupted in cheers from the crowd behind him. Bai Qi said: "This is a person from the north. Because of the perennial defense against barbarians, they are all strong and have a high nose. ”

Hearing this, Irisa was a little worried about the academy disciple opposite.

The disciple was very polite, and gave a salute to the northerners, but the northerners on the other side didn't eat this, and viciously spat on the ground, and smashed it with a hammer, and the academy disciple moved and dodged it.

Calamus was surprised: "This person is too impolite."

Bai Qian smiled on the side: "It's not that he doesn't know how to be polite, it's that we are too polite." He turned his nose to Nunu, where Bai Su was standing, and said, "Look, the first disciple of the academy can watch there." Anyone who doesn't know how to be polite and plays tricks can't survive the first round, and they can't escape my eldest brother's punishment when they go back. ”

"What about you?" Calamus asked in a worried whisper: "Bai Su is so strict, you still have a fight with Ning Huang, aren't you afraid that he will break your legs?"

"Hehe," Bai Qi chuckled twice: "Do you think that if I don't make an appointment with Ning Huang, my brother won't find a reason to break my legs." After he finished speaking, he felt unlucky again, and said three times in a row: "What breaks a leg and doesn't break a leg, can you hope that I will be better."

Calamus smiled and did not reply.

In an instant, the winner was already decided off the field. Although the people from the north were strong, they were extremely reckless, and they were tripped and fell by the academy disciples in two of three strokes. Follow the rules. If you fall off the field, you will be out, so even if the big man sits on the ground and scolds, it will not help. The academy disciple still bowed to the big man politely, and then nodded to Bai Su and said, "Senior brother."

Bai Su nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to go down. At this time, Bai Su is indeed a serious first apprentice, where is Bai Su who smokes on his head every day?
