Chapter 404: Jinshi Assessment (I)

People say that to make a lie, it takes ten lies to round it (read the full text of the Tale of the Demon God). Song Zheng realized the meaning of this sentence. However, he really didn't have the courage to tell Ming'er about Princess Xixia.

After Ming'er left, Song Zheng called Erhei. Tell him softly to go to Xu Mingxuan tomorrow and find a way to take Li Yuanzhen out of Fengzhuyuan and find another place to hide. Although Xu Mingxuan has an average status in the Xu family, he should still have a way to hide himself. Of course, Li Yuanzhen has also become a friend in Song Zheng's mouth. Erhei is doing things safely, and he will be relieved to give it to him.

Early the next morning, Song Zheng went to the Jiangning Martial Arts Academy, today is the last day of the martial arts, Song Zheng did not dare to delay.

Xin Yu, Yang Dong, Zu Jie and others were naturally extremely happy when they saw Song Zheng. Lu Hong's injuries were almost all healed, and he was jumping around, so he first asked about the competition between Song Zheng and Han Kui.

"This Han Kui is not simple, there is a set of boxing techniques." Song Zheng sighed, "Even if I make a move, although I have some upper hand, I can't defeat him at tea time." Then, Song Zheng briefly said the situation of the contest with Han Kui, but changed the ending to a tie. Everyone has seen Song Zheng's terrifying skills, and now Song Zheng can't win in a short time, so naturally they all have a higher evaluation of Han Kui.

Song Zheng asked about Xin Qiji's teaching to them, which was just some questions that had been asked in the martial arts exams in previous years, and how to deal with them. Song Zheng had been in contact with these things when he was in the Licheng military camp, but he didn't pay too much attention to them.

After chatting for a while, the hundred martial artists who had entered the final level gathered in a large courtyard on the west side of the martial academy. This courtyard covers an area of more than three acres, and there is a plaque hanging at the door, with three red characters of "Wugong Courtyard" written on it. There are already 100 armed guards who have surrounded the courtyard, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry (read the full text of the beautiful walk).

All the martial artists didn't dare to laugh, and after entering the courtyard, they honestly stood in a ten-person square. Han Kui, Dong Mingyan and Mu Boyo didn't say much, they just nodded slightly at Song Zheng, and there was some kindness in their eyes.

On the north side of the courtyard is a house, six or seven feet higher than the average house. To be precise, this is a large hall, and the front is out of the building. On both sides of the temple gate, there are a total of eight columns, and the pillars have a crest. Above the entrance of the hall, there are three big characters of "Wuyuan Palace". At this time, the door of the temple was closed, and a huge copper lock hung on it.

There are many martial artists, and only a few of them are taking the martial arts exam for the second or third time, and they are no strangers here. Most of them were visiting for the first time, and they were curious to see the turnaround arrangement.

On the west side of the courtyard is a wing room with an open door and a few tables can be faintly seen inside. On the south side of the courtyard, against the base of the wall, there was a shed, in which was a row of weapon racks, as well as stone locks, bows and arrows, targets, and other objects.

Just as the martial arts were secretly looking at each other, the general who had been presiding over the martial arts competition came to everyone and coughed lightly. The crowd of martial artists was busy containing and restraining them.

"Today is the last level of the exam, and the prince attaches great importance to it, and personally selects five generals of the Armed Guards Army to serve as examiners. I hope that you will carefully accept the instructor's questioning, and you must be respectful and not make noise. When there is an examiner to compete with you, you should give full play to your ability, and if you are really invincible, you can say it clearly. ”

Next, he will talk about some simple rules and how to participate in the expedition.

As soon as the general finished speaking, a sergeant came running from outside, stood two feet away from the general, and fell to one knee. "Report to the general, the prince will personally participate in the first batch of assessments in the future, and the commander will order, and all the martial arts will be ready to meet it!"

The fact that the juniper was coming surprised everyone, and the general was also startled. In previous years, Xiao Hui would only appear in the last arena of the competition for the martial champion order, but now he came early, which was beyond everyone's expectations. The general hurriedly received the order and began to teach the etiquette of greeting everyone.

Xiao Hui has a lot of official positions, Taiwei, Imperial City Si Dutong, Governor of Tokyo Pass, etc., and his title is King Zheng, and then the word "Wude" was added before the title, becoming King Zheng of Wude (Tai Chi master city line full text reading). This is also the only prince in Daqi who has added a title in front. Due to the high power of the juniper, the upper and lower officials all refer to him as "prince", and never call the title in front.

Ding Buwang, a member of the royal family of Daqi, and two princes, are the two brothers of Taizong, King Lu and King Dian, both of whom are in their last years. Therefore, the word prince generally only refers to one person. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it "the king of one word side by side". This title, which is only available in Peking Opera, is very suitable for Xiao Jun.

There is only one generation of kings in Daqi, and below the prince, there are the princes of the country, the county, and the county, all of whom are the descendants of Taizu's brothers or the heirs of the two princes above. As for Xiao Zhen and Xiao Xun, they were just the same clan of Taizu back then, and strictly speaking, they were not royal families. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been reduced to being a guard for Duan Blade. Taizong is a branch, and only the current emperor Mingzong Xiaoying has been handed down, and even Xiao Hui has no son, speaking of which, the bloodline of the Great Qi Dynasty is still quite dangerous. Once Xiao Ying has any accidents, it will be broken. The Great Qi Dynasty was either divided or chose one of the sidelines to be the emperor.

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Xiao Hui himself does not have a yellow robe. With the current situation of military power in charge, it is not particularly difficult to launch a coup d'Γ©tat. However, Xiao Hui himself has no son, and he can't cheapen the distant descendants.

It is precisely because of this dangerous situation that Huang Yuandu also has to reach out for some military power while he is in power, and the formation of the Duwei Army is based on this situation.

Song Zheng thought about these situations and couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of revenge.

As soon as the hour arrived, there was the sound of neat footsteps outside the courtyard, and immediately after, a group of sturdy sergeants in iron armor appeared in front of the people. Among the sergeants was a tall horse, more than eight feet long and six feet high, the horse was brown and red, and only four bowl-sized hooves were snow-white.

Immediately sat upright, with a thin face, high cheekbones, and a somewhat pale complexion. However, a pair of sharp eyes are bright, as if they can penetrate people's hearts. He was dressed in bright silver armor, and his red cloak fluttered in the wind, making the whole person look more and more extraordinary (read the full text of the Great Demon Capital).

It's the cypress!

Behind him, there was an old man with white eyebrows, a round face, thin lips, and a hint of gloom in his kind air. Song Zheng could also guess that this appearance was Qiu Shen, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

After Qiu Shen, it was Lan Shiguang who commanded the city guard army, Jiang Weiji, the envoy of the left system, and He Kuan, who supervised the army, and others, all lined up. And Dong Lancheng, the right attendant of the military department, did not appear in the queue, thinking that it was because Dong Mingyan participated in the last level of the martial arts competition and avoided it.

"See the prince!" Under the leadership of the general, all the martial artists knelt on one knee and bowed their hands.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The movements of the people are uniform, and they are very powerful.

Xiao Jun nodded. An ironclad sergeant immediately bowed his head and knelt under the horse, and became a kicker, while another sergeant stepped forward and helped the cypress off the horse. Lan Shiguang and others also fell one after another.

The cypress dragon walked forward, stood in front of the martial arts team. A pair of sharp eyes glanced at it, and the martial arts he saw lowered their eyelids. Song Zheng held his chest high and his head high, still maintaining his initial movements. Neither looked at each other nor bowed his head. It's not that he wants to be in the limelight, it's that he doesn't have the habit.

Seeing Song Zheng in the queue, Xiao Hui's eyes jumped slightly, and his eyes swept casually.

"Yes, there are a few good materials for this martial arts." Xiao Hui was smiling, which was very different from Song Zheng's feminine appearance when he first saw him.

Xiao Juni's voice was soft, making people sound intimate, "You guys take a good look at the inspection, I'm waiting to see you compete for the martial champion order!" ”

The last sentence ignited the fighting spirit of all martial arts, and they all became excited. Fifty out of a hundred people seems to have a high proportion, but these 100 people also started from Wusheng and came to this day step by step, no one is willing to give up, and they are all fully prepared (excellence).

"I won't talk nonsense anymore, sons, show your skills!" The juniper's voice was raised for a moment, and then he turned and walked towards the big house on the south side. Lan Shiguang and others followed. Followed at the back, there were five generals dressed in gold thread and gray armor, who were today's inspection generals. One of them, Song Zheng, knew that it was Feng Zhanbao, a general who had presided over the competition at the C-shaped training ground.

Since the last level does not involve mutual competition, the order of the various martial arts to participate in the inspection has already been arranged and distributed to the leading generals of all martial arts. From this, Song Zheng already knew his order and was in third place.

The general pulled the list out of his bosom and read the names aloud. The first twenty remained, waiting for the morning inspection, and the rest of the martial arts dispersed one after another. Every day, 20 people were inspected in the morning, 20 people were inspected in the afternoon, and 100 Wuju were inspected for a total of two and a half days.

In the Shandong Road Wuju, only Song Zheng and Song Tianyou participated in the morning inspection. Song Tianyou ranked nineteenth. This martial artist, who has the same surname as Song Zheng, is also famous. Song Tianyou is a native of Qizhou, Shandong, twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a white face and broad ears, a slender figure, every move, very upright, and he looks like a general.

Another acquaintance is Tian Jinchang, ranked second. Since being easily defeated by Song Zheng with his bare hands, Tian Jinchang recognized his gap. There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, Tian Jinchang's originally proud heart immediately reined in. In the past three days, Tian Jinchang tried his best to re-read the military book and constantly learn from Gu Zhengjie. Gu Zhengjie's father is a famous general, and some of the experience of the battle has been taught to Gu Zhengjie, and Gu Zhengjie does not hide his secrets, and tells Tian Jinchang these things carefully.

Since the ironclad army was standing around the team, no one dared to say much. When Yang Dong, Lu Hong and others left, they all sent encouragement to Song Zheng with their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, there were only twenty people left in the courtyard, and it immediately seemed much empty.

"Gyeonggi Province wishes a mountain to enter, and Xue Shengyong of Henan Road prepares. The rest of the people waited and went to the west room to rest. With the general's order, a young man with thin eyebrows stood up, bowed his hand to the general, and entered the main hall.
