Wen Sheng didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and then he dreamed of blood stains everywhere, war horses wailing, and a few familiar faces, and suddenly woke up.

At this time, it was just the middle of the day, and there was still nearly an hour before the teachers and commanders gathered on the Tongle stage, Wen Sheng lay down with his eyes open for a while, and couldn't sleep anymore, so he had to get up and wash.

After a while, there was also movement in Bian Qingchuan's room.

The master and apprentice casually got some food and dealt with the breakfast, Wen Sheng looked at it for a while, and forced himself to concentrate on reading the book for a while, and then went to the Tongle Platform with the master.

After three consecutive days of elimination, most students had a good idea of their results.

Like Xiang Jiarong, he lost two rounds in a row the next afternoon, and he was sure to miss the top 50, and when he arrived today, he was with envy to see who was going to Baizhou, and by the way, he cheered for Zhuo Xuan and Zhong Tianzheng.

There were also about twenty students who were at the threshold of about fifty, and they were very easy to identify, all of them looking apprehensive and restless, waiting for the list to be announced in the cabinet for a while.

Although the candidates for the captain and deputy captain have not yet been decided, several big favorites are clearly distinguishable from each other, and many supporters have gathered around them.

Jiang Huan of the Southern Courtyard is not only strong, he has been the No. 1 in the palace list in individual battles for many years, but he is also old and stable, and he is trusted when he looks at it, so this expedition, he has a high call to be the captain.

On the side of the North Courtyard, the most favored by everyone was not Lu Xuan, who fought with Wen Sheng in the last team battle that day, but Hua Feizhou.

Hua Feizhou. After eight years in the cabinet, he is good at the musical instrument guqin, and studied under the dean Mr. Tan Da.

Because Mr. Tan Da does not have a son who is willing to fight on behalf of his father. In addition, Hua Feizhou himself is not keen on team battles, so Wen Sheng has never had the opportunity to fight him.

Hua Feizhou's personal results are very good, although he couldn't compete for Jiang Huan at the last moment several times in a row and ranked second, but Jiang Lian is almost fifty, he is only in his thirties, and he has been in the past ten years. No one dares to say that his achievements in the future will be inferior to the other.

There is another reason why everyone is optimistic about Hua Feizhou, he is from a family, and his aunt Hua is the wife of Mr. Tan Da. There is this layer of relationship. When you arrive in the army, no matter who the commander is, you have to be polite to him.

Although these two people have their own supporters, they are still far from the long-awaited energy of the other person present.

As soon as Wen Sheng arrived. I saw Zhong Tianzheng who was surrounded by everyone in the middle.

Dozens of people surrounded Zhong Tianzheng talking and laughing. The attitude is affectionate and respectful, and there are many students in the North Academy.

It was the first time Wen Sheng had seen such a situation, she was stunned, and her heart suddenly dawned, no need to ask, these people all followed Zhong Tianzheng to learn "new music".

Zhong Tianzheng seemed to feel Wen Sheng's gaze and looked at her, across the crowd. The two met their eyes, and then Zhong Tianzheng smiled at her. Nodding.

Xiang Jiarong squeezed over from Zhong Tianzheng's side, separated the sight of the two, and asked Wen Sheng curiously: "Where have you been in the past two days?" I haven't seen you in Xinghui Hall, so I went to Lejuntang to ask, and Senior Bian also said that I don't know, did you give up the exam? ”

Xiang Jiarong was also assigned to Xinghui Hall to participate in the elimination exam, and he would notice that it was normal for Wen Sheng not to show up for two days.

Wen Sheng only said "I didn't give up the exam", and then felt a commotion from afar, and the musicians around her were whispering, she stopped, and heard someone say in surprise: "The female student is also here!" ”

Xuanyin Pavilion Women's School has always been like a legendary cunzii.

Although everyone knows that there is such a place in the pavilion, but the women's school is a separate high-walled deep courtyard, and the students enter and exit from them on the same road, so there is no need to expect to meet any young lady by chance, and the teachers who teach them are all old people like "Chiwu" Yang Mingqi.

Those boudoir daughters and high-ranking ladies also came to see the big competition?

Everyone followed the prestige, and sure enough, they saw a group of seven or eight girls, wearing hats, long skirts dragging the ground, or holding a piano or a flute, being led by the waiter, curling Tingting over, and found an inconspicuous place to sit in the back row.

It looks quite bluffing, but the musicians all know that there is only one musician in these girls, and that is Miss Tan.

Thinking of the fact that Miss Tan appeared in the South Courtyard from time to time in the past year, many people felt that they had guessed the inside story and cast envious glances at Zhong Tianzheng.

Although the person who came was tightly covered, Wen Sheng still recognized it at a glance from his figure, and there was no doubt that the one who was at the forefront was indeed Tan Linghui.

What's the matter, Tan Linghui is usually not like this, she doesn't participate in the musicians' gatherings, even if not everyone in the Xuanyin Pavilion knows her, at least more than half of them have seen her true face of Lushan.

Wen Sheng was puzzled in her heart, and then thought about it, could it be that she wanted to come to see the ranking battle, but she was afraid of being said to show up, so she made such a fuss?

But at this time, she didn't have time to pay attention to a few girls who were studying women, and Mr. Tan came over with two deans and many teachers.

The surroundings of the orchestra became silent for a while.

It can be seen that Mr. Tan attaches great importance to this student expedition, and he does many things himself, and he is unwilling to fake the hands of others.

He slowly walked up to the stage, stood in front of the hundreds of students in front of the audience, and moved a chair with the musician who came to the stage with him.

Old Master Tan didn't sit down, his eyes slowly looked over everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "After three days of selection, the list of the top fifty people in this big competition has come out, if there are no special circumstances, these fifty people will go to Baizhou in half a month and serve in front of the army." I really want to read your name in person, but I won't hide it from everyone, Tan Mengzhou is already old and dizzy, and such a big word is written on paper, but I can't see it clearly if I want to. ”

There was a slight commotion in the audience.

Old Master Tan continued: "Your division commander will grow old slowly, he will become deaf and dizzy, he can't walk or play musical instruments, what will happen to the future of the beam, it depends on you, this burden will be picked up by you sooner or later." Ruibo, read the list for your father. ”

Mr. Tan Da answered "yes".

The two musicians came up and respectfully helped Mr. Tan to sit down.

Mr. Tan Da began to read. Because this list is arranged in chronological order when the students are in the top 50, Wen Sheng, who was escorted, was ranked first.

As Mr. Tan Da said the three words "Gu Wensheng", Wensheng felt that his eyes on him suddenly increased. It's like there's a sense of attention.

She looked at the stage with an indifferent face, and after a while, these eyes gradually turned away, and only a fiery gaze was always fixed on her face.

Wen Sheng knew that it was Zhong Tianzheng.

In the two days that he was under house arrest, Wen Sheng thought about it more than once. At this moment, how surprised he would be, it was a great joy. There is a refreshing feeling of drinking ice water on dog days.

It's a waste of effort, but it's just like that.

I will never let go of this great opportunity to laugh at him.

Wen Sheng looked at Zhong Tianzheng, and the other party stared at her, and sure enough, he had a ghostly expression. It was written on his face, "Impossible." I must have heard it wrong", to be honest, Wen Sheng has known Zhong Tianzheng for so long, and he has never seen him lose his temper so much.

But at this time, Wen Sheng completely lost his mind to joke because of the war in Baizhou.

She was expressionless, calmly looked at Zhong Tianzheng, paused for a moment, and looked away. Cast elsewhere.

In the list of fifty people, except for Wen Sheng and Zhong Tianzheng, two freshmen who have been in the cabinet for less than five years, there is not much difference from the palace list in previous years.

As for Zhong Tianzheng. Everyone knows that his skills have improved rapidly, and maybe he has the strength to compete with Jiang Huan, Hua Feizhou and others.

Only Wen Sheng was an accident.

What's even more surprising is that she obviously got the same treatment as Jiang Huan and others, in the first round of the ranking battle, her opponent was the last in strength among fifty people, this is to ensure that the strong can meet finally and compete for the top few.

There are those who are secretly puzzled, but Mei Zong and Bai Jianyuan, who have fought with Wen Sheng before, feel that it is normal.

They looked at Shao Feng, who was about to fight Wen Sheng, and thought that he only had the Miaoyin Eight Methods Triple, and they all felt that sympathy was about to overflow for a while.

But in fact, the ranking battle of fifty people is caught in pairs, and there are twenty-five games to be played in the first round alone, and it is impossible to have a hold for one or two hours like the previous knockout battle.

And today, Mr. Tan and the two deans personally conducted the exam, and no matter how high the self-esteem is, the students dare not doubt the results announced by the examiner.

The stage went on so fast that the musicians watching the game were almost dizzying.

From Wen Sheng's coming to the stage, sitting down, playing "Taiping", and then being stopped by the examiner, it was not even half an hour in between.

Mr. Tan Da directly announced that Wen Sheng had won, and not long after she stepped down, a division commander came over to inform her of the opponent in the next round.

At noon, everyone had half an hour to eat and rest, and it was definitely too late to go back and forth to the General's Mansion to inquire about the news, so Wen Sheng followed the master back to Lejun Hall.

Bian Qingchuan talked about his feelings after watching the battle all morning: "The national teacher is anxious for you to quickly decide the captain. I look at this speed, at most, the day after tomorrow, only Jiang Huan, Lu Xuan, Hua Feizhou, plus you and Zhong Tianzheng. ”

Wen Sheng said "um", although she told her master that she wanted to compete for the first captain, but she was not completely sure whether she could fight for it.

Jiang Huan and Lu Xuan have all fought with her, and these two have received the true inheritance of their teachers, and their piano skills are very characteristic and very threatening to her.

Another point is that Wen Sheng's piano sound does not have offensive power.

In her opinion, this should be determined by the characteristics of "Xisheng Spectrum" itself, but in the eyes of others, this is what she lacks.

Wen Sheng fell into passivity in the current game, and the winner or loser was decided by the examiner, although she won the two rounds in the morning, it was not possible to say that she lost directly when it was critical.

Bian Qingchuan mentioned Zhong Tianzheng, and Wen Sheng wondered if he would take advantage of the lunch break to come to her, or Xingshi to ask for guilt, or try to ease the relationship.

To be honest, Wen Sheng seemed to have a big stone in his heart at this time, and he didn't want to see him.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Zhong Tianzheng did not show up. Wen Sheng guessed that he probably felt that noon was too short for him to quarrel, so he left him behind and went to the Tongle stage with his master.

There were still two rounds in the afternoon.

It is worth mentioning that Wen Sheng fought against Ran Yubo of the Southern Courtyard in the latter round.

This person studied under Min Ziming, and in the autumn test the year before last, Wen Sheng fought with both the master and apprentice in the team battle.

Ran Yubo's personal battles are generally in the twenties, and against him, Wen Sheng realized that his opponent was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

After two rounds of fighting, it was the afternoon Shen time, and there was still a while before dark.

However, Tan Lao Guoshi is indeed old, and his body is a little unbearable after sitting all day, and his two sons persuaded him several times halfway, seeing that he refused to go to rest first, it was easy to get to the end, so he quickly told everyone to disperse and continue tomorrow.

Wen Sheng was exactly what he wanted, said hello to the master, and hurried to Ping'an Hutong.

There is no new news from the General's Mansion, just rare, Du Yuanpu's wife Zhou, Jing Jie's wife Zhang, and Captain Chen's wife Zheng are all there.

The three women were all dressed plainly and with solemn expressions. Zhang is the youngest, and his eyes are a little red and swollen from crying.

The carriage at the door was ready, and the three of them carried gifts, looking like they were ready to go out.

Wen Sheng got out of the car and happened to have a meeting with them, and only after asking did he know that Jing Jie brought back the news of Nie Xinhou's death yesterday, and the three of them were entrusted by Ji Nantang to go to Nie's house to visit Nie Xinhou's wife.

Nie Xinhou's parents died early, and when he was a teenager, he mixed in the market and made a living stealing chickens and dogs, until he was taken in by Ji Nantang as his personal soldier, which can be regarded as a change of way.

He died in Hakushu in battle, leaving behind his sick wife and son who was less than a year old.

Ji Nantang discussed with Du Yuanpu during the day, but he was not easy to come to the door, so he had to ask Du Yuanpu's wife to take the two sisters to Nie's house to have a look, and by the way, send some silver to subsidize the family for orphans and widows.

Wen Sheng sighed in his heart, no wonder Zhou's face was difficult.

Mrs. Nie was still looking forward to her husband's return for a reunion as soon as possible, but they were going to come to the door to tell the family such cruel news, plus they were also the wives of soldiers, so they could empathize more, just look at the Zhang family and the Zheng family, in addition to being embarrassed, they also had a little anxiety and fear.

Wen Sheng thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed her arm: "Good sister, I was trying to ask you to be a companion, but I didn't dare to speak." ”

Wen Sheng looked down at his body, the narrow-sleeved cardigan with dark patterns in Ugin, and the color of the skirt was also very plain, there was nothing wrong with it, he got into the car and said, "Buy something for the child on the road." ”

Zhou said: "No, everything is ready, you just need to accompany us." Under the general's command, there are more than a dozen families like this that need to be sent frequently, and it is not enough to go once or twice, but to go often in the future. ”

Saying that, she sighed and sighed: "But there is no one as pitiful as the sister of the Nie family, as soon as the head of the family leaves, only she and a nursing doll are left." (To be continued......)
