Chapter 52: Challenge on the spot
Half an hour later, there were only more than 100 students left in the martial arts academy. At this time, in front of them, there were already stone locks and weapon racks, ink boxes, arrow targets and other objects.
At this time, Li Shimin naturally would not drag the academy back. He lifted the stone lock to 1,500 catties, and his archery skills were ten shots and ten hits within a hundred steps. In the martial arts examination, he used the knife technique to chop all the one hundred and eight wooden sticks thrown in the distance.
After the imperial armor, riding and the interpretation of the art of war, Li Shimin also has full marks, which is what he is best at.
And the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although he did not have good intentions, Yang Xuangan's subordinates obviously did not dare to be too presumptuous in the private study of the martial arts Li family. Although the exam questions produced by these people are suspected of being difficult, the attitude of the invigilator is also harsh. However, as long as the grades of Weishantang students are indeed up to standard, none of these people dare to tamper with them.
In addition, the content of the test in Class A, B and C is not the same, and the difficulty is also different.
Therefore, in the entire Weishan Hall Martial Arts Academy, a total of twenty-seven people have received first-class ratings, and the rest of the people have nearly ninety percent of the second-class ratings. Even in the Academy of Liberal Arts, there are nine first-class students, and nearly half of them get second-class grades.
After this result came out, not only the people in the Ministry of Rites were surprised, but even Li Shimin was taken aback. And the head of the mountain, Li Xiaoji, and many students present showed pride on their faces.
Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly praise that he knew the situation of the Li clan a few years ago, and it was a complete mess.
At this time, half of the students in Weishantang came from the old school in Daxing, Xijing, and the other half were the new students recruited by Li Xiaoji in the eastern capital after the migration of the clan school. Although the former have excellent grades, the latter is also of a good standard, not inferior to the disciples of the old school.
——It can be seen that the enrollment of Li clan studies this time is very strict. But if it weren't for Weishantang's growing reputation, Li Xiaoji would not have been able to attract so many Guiyu materials to come to study.
Li Xuanba looked at Li Yuanji with a slightly disdainful gaze: "Fourth brother, don't always talk about how the second brother is. Please be a little more competitive yourself, don't embarrass our martial arts Li clan. ”
Li Yuanji's face was flushed, his eyes were shy and angry, but he was speechless. His grade this time was in the second class, and in the second class, he could only be in the upper middle class.
The main reason is that the armor art is the same as the art of war, and there are too many points lost. These days, he often goes hunting outside the city with his friends, and his riding and archery skills are excellent, but he is a little behind in other homework.
For him, it really shouldn't be. Compared to the other students in the academy, the resources that he, the concubine of the Tang State Mansion, possessed, were by no means beyond the reach of others.
Li Yuanji could even feel the cold gaze that was cast from the pavilion next to him. This must be his father Li Yuan, at this time, that gaze is like a blade scraping bones, stabbing him all over the body.
Li Yuanji already had a hunch that once this incident was over, he would definitely be severely punished by his father. The good days since I entered Beijing with my father are coming to an end from today.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanji couldn't help but look at his second brother Li Shimin with unwillingness. If you want to say that you have abandoned your studies, this guy is undoubtedly far above him, and his second brother has not only not come to the clan for several years, but has been immersed in armor-making skills all day long. The door does not go out, and the second door does not step out. But in today's test, Li Shimin was able to get a full score.
But soon Li Yuanji's attention shifted away and looked at the two figures on the high platform in front of him.
The martial arts test is so far, it has not completely ended, and there is still actual combat next, with a total of two royal driving skills and war games, which still need to be assessed.
However, this time, it is not necessary for all students to try it one by one. Li Yuanji knew the rules of the school rank, and the Ministry of Rites would select some newly admitted students from the Guozi Temple for private students to challenge.
Today, if they can win one game, they can be included in the third class, and they can recommend 40 people to participate in the Guozi Examination every year; if they can win three games, they can enter the second class, and the number of participants in the Guozi Examination will be doubled; if they can win six games, they will be in the first class, and they can recommend 160 people.
This is because the students of Guozi Temple are all elites who stand out from more than 10,000 people in Guozi Test. It is not easy to win a game in ordinary private learning.
However, after seeing the two people on the stage, Li Yuanji's face suddenly changed slightly.
"Li Junxian, Wang Wendu—"
At the same time, on the second floor of Weishan Hall, Li Yuan also frowned. He didn't know the names of these two people, but instinctively felt that these two people had something extraordinary.
After talking in detail in his ear, Li Yuan also looked at Yang Xuangan on the side with iron eyes: "Chu Guogong, it's too much!"
These two people are one of the two most outstanding students in the Guozi Temple today, and their strength far exceeds their peers.
"Brother Shude's words made my father-in-law puzzled,"
Yang Xuangan's expression was calm, and he looked back at Du Congxu beside him: "Wailang, what is too much about this national test?"
"Yu Shangshu, the lower officials can guarantee this assessment, and there will be no violations!"
Nadu Congxu replied without hesitation: "This Li Junxian and Wang Wendu are both admitted to the national examination for seven years, and their student status has not been completed for one year. ”
When Yang Xuan heard this, he immediately bowed his head with satisfaction: "That's good!Brother Shude, the younger brother has no intention of embarrassing your mansion here, but don't misunderstand anything." ”
Li Yuan looked closely at Yang Xuangan and Du Congxu with eyes that wanted to choose people, but they were completely unmoved. He was helpless in his heart, so he could only turn his gaze to the school field in front of him, feeling a little worried, and he didn't know if there was a middle school student in the clan who could beat the two?
"Li Junxian, Wang Wendu, who is this?"
In the crowd, Li Xuanba asked curiously. He has not been to the Eastern Capital for a long time, and he does not know the characters of the Eastern Capital, and after entering Beijing, he spends most of his time practicing literature and martial arts, so he does not know these two people.
And Li Yuanji, who fights with fox friends and dog friends every day, is undoubtedly more knowledgeable than Li Xuanba: "I heard a friend from Guozi Temple say that these two people, that Li Junxian is extremely talented, and he won the first place in the lance method in the Guozi test last year, and there are almost no opponents among his peers." As for this Wang Wendu, although the martial arts are a little worse, this person is very good at war games, and the art of war is within the same period, and he is in the top three. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji scolded again: "Yang Xuangan is this miscellaneous piece! It is a shame that my friend said that he is noble and thin, and he is very angry, and he actually came to do this." Our martial arts Li clan, where did we offend him?"
When he spoke, he could not lower his voice. When several people next to him heard this, they were also discolored.
"Li Junxian? I've heard of this person too. ”
"It's said to be in the middle of the five grades—"
"How is this good? Who is the opponent of our ethnography? These two are so powerful, and the others are not bad?"
"Are the people in the Ministry of Rites crazy? In previous years, the students who were at the bottom of the Guozi Temple were all selected from the Guozi Temple, how could this be like this year?"
"It's not hopeless, in our ethnology, Li Sanlang is also a five-grade product. A pair of sledgehammers dominate the academy, and it should not be inferior to him. There is also Li Erlang, who is also a fifth product. And I heard that the rules of the Ministry of Rites and Rites are that when fighting armor, you only need to survive 300 rounds. It doesn't have to be a winner—"
"Li Erlang, but Li Shimin, he has five grades, is it true or false. ”
"It's true, Li Xuanba has already said that he has never won against his second brother. In addition, in recent days, there have been at least a dozen people in the family studies, all of whom have been defeated by Li Erlang. is as strong as Li Daozong, Li Daoxuan, and he didn't survive ten rounds in the hands of this person. Don't you know about such a big thing?"
When Li Yuanji heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Shimin with strange eyes: "Second brother, are you really a five-grade?"
Can you defeat Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan, and let these two not last ten rounds? Is it true or false?
"Can I still lie to you?" Li Xuanba sneered: "Think everyone is like you, waste snacks, and shame our Li family?"
Li Yuanji snorted softly, wanting to refute, but he was speechless.
At this time, Li Xiaoji, who was above, suddenly said: "Li Changxi is out of the ranks!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. Li Changxi is a collateral descendant of the martial arts Li family, and his ancestor is not the ancestor of Xiliang Li Wei, but the third son of Li Wei's grandfather Li Yi. After the rise of Li Hu, he came to vote, and was also recognized as a branch of the martial arts Li clan.
He was 18 years old and one of nine people in Class A who received a first-class grade. Although this person's talent is only middle-upper, because of his age, his martial arts are not bad, not inferior to Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan, and he is only one step away from the fifth grade.
But after only forty breaths, the atmosphere on the school field was depressed and low. Then a gust of wind and thunder sounded in the ring, and Li Changxi's whole person, together with Mo Jia, was blasted away by Li Junxian and smashed down on a place five feet outside the ring.
At this time, many students were speechless, and they all looked at each other with panicked expressions.
Li Changxi only lasted 10 rounds in the ring! And this person did not overwhelm people at all, but simply shot Li Changxi down with a lance.
"This person seems to have some ability-"
Li Xuanba's eyes lit up, and his face was eager to try: "Maybe it's a good opponent." ”
Li Shimin also looked at Li Junxian in the ring, who was already hiding in the scholar-level ink armor, and it was difficult to see his true face.
However, he had carefully looked at this person just now, and he should be less than fifteen years old, not much older than him. In terms of this person's age, he is indeed not bad, and his martial arts talent is not inferior to him and Li Daozong.
Looking at his means of defeating Li Changxi, his martial arts skills are not much inferior to Li Xuanba.
And in the next moment, Li Xiaoji's gaze swept over: "Shimin!"
Li Shimin had no intention of refusing, stood tall and walked in front of an ink box. As he raised his hand and patted it, hundreds of armor pieces surged upward, covering his body.
This is not his usual 'Baiqi', but just a very ordinary standard captain-level ink armor. His opponent is the same, only in this way can he distinguish the superiority of the armor technique, not deceive others with excellent ink armor.
