Zhang Baiqian and Guan Yu stood facing each other, each holding a slender wooden stick in their hands, and the top of the wooden stick was wrapped in a thick layer of water-soaked cloth.

"Brother Zhang, please," Guan Yu arched his hand. "Hehe, then you're welcome!" After saying that, Zhang Baiqian's wrist flicked, and the thin wooden stick in his hand bent abruptly as if it suddenly came to life, and ejected out. Guan Yu raised his stick to greet each other, the two of them came and went, crackling and fighting in one place, dozens of rounds down, Guan Yu looked down and saw that his body was covered with more than a dozen water stains that had been poked from top to bottom, and there were only three or four on Zhang Baiqian's body opposite.

Zhang Baiqian stood with a stick in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Xian's footwork is flexible and his skills are excellent, but unfortunately this gun makes it seem to be completely disorganized, which makes Zhang unguardable." ”

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is too modest, come again!" After speaking, he shook the wooden stick in his hand and leaned out. Zhang Baiqian was taken aback, only to feel that the thousands of plum blossoms in front of him were falling, flickering left and right, up and down, and couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake.

Zhang Baiqian turned around and jumped out of the circle, and said strangely: "Where did Brother Guan get that trick just now?" If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the move of the lost plum blossom gun! ”。

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a deep salute: "Brother Zhang is not only good at marksmanship, but also well-informed!" The younger brother does have a copy of "Plum Blossom Gun Book" in his hand, and he has only learned one and a half moves, and he only knows a little about fur. ”

Zhang Baiqian returned the salute and said: "It seems that the virtuous brother does have some blessings!" With this strange book, in time, I will not be your opponent sooner or later! ”

"Brother Bai Qian" With a shout, a war horse jumped from far and near, and immediately jumped down, with a strong body.

"Oh, Brother Zhongnian, you're just in time." Zhang Baiqian turned his face to Guan Yu and said: "This is my friend, Du Zhongnian, who gallops on the battlefield with a backhand knife, and rarely meets an opponent." He pointed at Guan Yu and said, "This is General Guan, the righteous brother of Chief Liu." ”

Guan Yu and Du Zhongnian greeted each other, only to hear Zhang Baiqian ask with concern: "How is it, have you seen the leader?" How does he settle in you? ”

Du Zhongnian sighed with a little loss: "I see, I am different from Brother Bai Qian. I came to vote alone, and the leader asked me to start as a commander first, and then have the opportunity to be promoted later. ”

Zhang Baiqian was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head silently. Seeing this, Guan Yu interjected: "Brother Du is a good martial artist, and being a commander is too condescending!" There is just a lack of a deputy general by my side, if Brother Du doesn't dislike it, come to me directly! ”

Zhang and Du were overjoyed when they heard this, and Du Zhongnian hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you General Guan for your love!" It's just that Leader Liu --- there."

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about it, wrap it up on me." When I turned around, I simply asked Brother Zhang to come over, our brothers are together, first, it is convenient to learn martial arts, and secondly, we can take the time to drink together, isn't it happy? ”

Zhang Du and the two looked at each other and smiled, clasped their fists together and said, "I am willing to serve General Guan!" ”。

Although bandits were rampant and wars were raging in Daqi, Dong Dazai still gritted his teeth and insisted on holding a triennial examination. The reason is simple, there is no one to work in the court. The bloody purge of the previous Dazai and the subsequent so-called rectification of the administration of officials, aside from the local officials, half of the officials in Kyoto have lost their heads, and there is a sad situation in which there is no one to hold a job.

The imperial court urgently needed to replenish a large number of young scholars to fill the vacancies at all levels. In case one day the saint is angry and wants to kill a minister, but it turns around for a long time and can't find anyone, it's really a joke.

Li Jingcheng is full of poetry and books, and like most poor students, he dreams of changing his life through his career. So, he touched the copper plate in his arms, which he had counted eight times and did not have any more children, gritted his teeth and picked up his empty bag, and embarked on the arduous journey to Beijing to catch the exam.

On the way, Li Jingcheng, who was poor and sick, was drenched in another heavy rain and fell ill in a dilapidated temple. Fortunately, a rich lady rescued her, and made a promise to each other, staging a beautiful romantic drama of talented and beautiful women. A few days later, Li Jingcheng recovered from a serious illness and wanted to embark on the journey to catch the exam again, and the young lady generously gave him some silver taels. Li Jingcheng was grateful, and vowed that once the gold list was named, he would definitely come back to marry the young lady. The two said goodbye, looking at Li Jingcheng's back, the maid next to Miss couldn't help but mutter: "Miss, the master is out to do business, let me look at you!" He wants to know that you have to kill me like this! ”。

The young lady ignored her, still looking at Li Jingcheng's back infatuatedly.

The maid couldn't help but continue to nag: "This Li Gongzi is the second poor student you sponsored, and the Yang Gongzi ---- last time."

The young lady glanced back at the maid, and sighed faintly: "There will always be someone who can be named on the gold list and come back to marry me, right?" ”

After speaking, he turned around and waved goodbye stupidly in the direction where Li Jingcheng left.

Li Jingcheng, who arrived in Dadu, found an inn and threw down his bags, and walked onto the bustling street. Because of the arrival of a large number of exam-taking students, it is more prosperous and lively than usual, giving people the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous world.

Li Jingcheng was looking around curiously, when he was suddenly stopped by a strong man with five big and three thick. He hurriedly wanted to dodge, but the big man didn't give up and forced him directly into a corner. It's bad, Lang Lang Qiankun, Gyeonggi important land, will you meet robbers?! Li Jingcheng looked at the fierce eyes of the strong man, a thought flashed in his mind, and he involuntarily reached out and touched the silver two in his arms.

The strong man suddenly grinned and said, "Little brother, you are a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, right?" Want to join the department? I have here the exam questions for this year's exam, only ten taels of silver. ”

Li Jingcheng was spontaneously stunned, and suddenly a head with curly yellow hair came out from under the armpit of the strong man, and said hurriedly: "Little brother, do you want the title of the gold list?" The exam questions I will try here are only five taels of silver. ”

The strong man was furious, grabbed his yellow hair and threw it out, turned around and scolded: "Little Si, this is my territory, you dare to make trouble!" ”。

The little man did not show weakness, jumping to his feet and shouting: "What is your territory, you don't care where I want to go." ”

In a moment, the two hugged each other, fell to the ground, and fought desperately. Soon a crowd of people rushed up and stopped to watch.

Li Jingcheng, who was still in a daze, was pulled aside by a kind uncle who set up a tea stall next to him, and whispered: "Don't believe them, what they sell is fake!" ”。

Li Jingcheng bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you Uncle for mentioning it." ”

The uncle then said, "I'm here for real!" Guest, do you want to be a top student in high school? Only two taels of silver. ”

Li Jingcheng looked up in amazement, only to see a kind and kind smile on the uncle's face.

Dong Dazai faced a headache, and his predecessor was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites to do the ideological education work of the Red Turban Army, but he was boiled. The examination is the top priority of the Ministry of Rites, and it must be presided over by the Ministry of Rites. The final result of the examination will directly affect the strengths and weaknesses of the various factions in the DPRK and China, so as the date of the examination gradually approaches, the battle for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites among the various factions is becoming increasingly fierce.

Everyone invariably adopted a three-point attack, namely: black bricks under their feet, mud on their faces, and dirty water on their heads. There are three more young and promising officials of Daqi, who were sent to the prison before they touched the chair of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded, and became veritable victims. In the end, the Holy Lord appointed an old minister who was old and respectful to take up the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ending the work of all the courtiers working together to continuously send talents to the prison.

"Shui Yue, Ling'er, both of you are the beloved apprentices of the teacher, quite the true inheritance of the teacher, and the best kung fu. Now, for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the world, Li Min lives and works in peace and contentment, and the teacher has promised to help the imperial court eliminate the bandits, and the responsibility of our martial arts is to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil. The two of you are here to assist the two senior brothers of the Ling Xiao faction to complete the assassination mission of the bandit leader of the Red Turban Army. After Mrs. Yunni finished speaking, she looked at the reactions of the two of them, and the two young girls nodded solemnly.

Master Wan continued, "You two should take care of each other along the way and be safe. As a last resort, don't expose your hiding as a last resort. The assassination operation is scheduled for the night, and after completing the mission, evacuate immediately, go early and return early! ”。

After respectfully bidding farewell to Shitaishi, the two hurriedly returned to the room, simply packed their bags, and led their horses to meet at the mountain gate. There were already two Ling Xiao Sect disciples waiting on horseback.

"Lingxiao Sect disciple Tao Junjie".

"Lingxiao Sect disciple Zeng Shaohui".

The two clasped their fists on the horse and saluted, and Shui Yue and Chen Linger returned the salute to the two of them one by one.

Tao Junjie is the eldest disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, and when he first saw Chen Ling'er, he felt that his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances without a crowd. Retracting his gaze, he opened his mouth and said, "The two junior sisters don't need to worry, the road is still far away, and it is still early to the agreed date." Along the way, if there is anything I need help with, the two of you just spoke. We'll talk about the detailed plan of action on the road. ”

Zeng Shaohui also said: "Two junior sisters, don't worry, if there is any danger, Senior Brother Tao and I will rush to the front to protect you." ”

Chen Linger pouted and said, "We don't need your protection, you just take care of yourself!" ”。

The four of them walked for a long time, stopped at a stream to rest, Chen Linger washed his hands, and squatted there to start: Isn't that bad guy the general of the Red Turban Army? It's best not to let me meet this time, or I'll show no mercy!

"What do you think? Senior Sister Ling'er. Tao Junjie came over.

"Didn't think about anything." Chen Ling'er turned around, she was bored with this smiling young face for no reason.

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all, with me and Senior Brother Zeng here, you and Senior Sister Shuiyue will only be responsible for cleaning up the bandits on the periphery at that time, and you can evacuate at any time if there is any danger." Tao Junjie said to himself.

Turning his head and seeing that Chen Ling'er had no reaction of gratitude at all, Tao Junjie himself couldn't help but feel bored.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed his bag, and turned his head to Chen Ling'er with a smile on his face and said, "Senior Sister Ling'er, I brought a lot of dry food, do you want to eat some?" ”。

"You're welcome, I've got it, you can eat it yourself."

Seeing that Chen Ling'er finally reacted, Tao Junjie was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "You don't have to see me, there is still a long way to go." ”

Chen Ling'er stood up without saying a word, patted the dust on her knees, and turned away.
