Yecang City is actually a large military camp, the location near the east of the city is the location of the general's palace, the city is built in a boxy, there is a city gate in the south, east and west, the people live near the north gate, and the army is stationed in the south and north.

When the group went out of the general's mansion, King Yu glanced at the five tired horses tied to the outside of the mansion, and ordered: "Come here, bring eight war horses!" Then he turned around and said, "You will come with me to the barracks, Iron Eagle, and so will you!" ”

"The last will be ordered!" As soon as Ling Tieying saluted, he turned his head and glanced at the five people, the smart Ling Scarlet Yan and Shi Gong Zhengyuan were the first to react, Huo Qing was the most stupid, and only woke up when he saw that his classmates and friends had saluted.

Following behind King Yu, Xuan Shaoning realized that Yecang City was not small, and the small impression before was completely caused by the structure of the city. The city was built with a narrow east and west side and a wide north and south side, and it took a quarter of an hour to get from the general's palace in the city to the military camp in the south, even if it was to gallop on horseback.

When they arrived at the gate of the southern barracks, there were already two people waiting. Both of them are wearing armor, but the colors are different, one of them is still young, the face is white and beardless, a pair of attractive ears are very distinctive, and they are wearing cyan intimate soft armor; The other was older, with a bearded face, broad shoulders and round waist, and plain silver armor.

"The last general will see the general!" Seeing King Yu, the two saluted at the same time.

"Get up, Xia Duwei, Xiang Duwei! I came to introduce them, these are all disciples of Qingshan Academy, and they have come to join my Xuanjia Army, they have been practicing in the mountains for seven years, and they are all capable of it. The king of Yu praised the others, and then jumped off the horse.

"With Master Mo in front, I guess what the general said is true. In the lower cold knife captain Xia Junmao! "The older man spoke first.

"Under the rust chelate Du Wei Xiang Ang! The sixth disciple of Castle Peak Academy! The young man spoke straightforwardly, and his gaze at several people was also blazing.

"When I was in the academy, I heard that the Xuanjia army has four guards, one is the cold knife, and the vanguard of the Xuanjia is small, but the battle is brave, the impact is rapid, and all of them are one enemy and two!" After dismounting, Xuan Shaoning saw the captain of the cold knife with his own eyes, and the admiration in his words arose, and he clasped his hands into fists and gave a slight salute.

"As for the Rusty Guards, they are all cavalrymen, all armed with crossbows, good at long-distance shooting, and they are an elite!" Duan Lang stood beside Xuan Shaoning, his eyes widening as well.

"You know a little bit about our Xuanjia Army!" Xia Junmao narrowed his eyes, and was not surprised by the words of a few hairy boys, but the taste changed when the words came to his mouth.

"It's not just a little understanding", Shi Gong Zhengyuan stood up, "The Daliang army has ten people as a team, and there is a captain; Ten soldiers are a team, with a centurion, in charge of a hundred people; The five teams are one school, with a school captain and 500 people in charge; The five schools are one capital, with a captain, in charge of 2,500 people; The four capitals are one battalion, with commanders and commanders, in charge of 10,000 people; The five battalions are an army, the commander is the general, and there are 50,000 soldiers under his command. The Xuanjia Army was built in strict accordance with this regulation. ”

"So both Captain Xia and Captain Xiang have two thousand five hundred people!" Huo Qing looked at Xiang Ang and said, he really didn't expect that the senior brother in front of him, who was not much older than him, already had more than a thousand people under his command.

King Yu applauded and said: "Sure enough, it is a disciple taught by the master, with you, the power of my Xuanjia Army has increased a lot!" ”

"Oh? A few little brothers are right, but our Xuanjia Army has relied on hard work to guard the border for so many years! Xia Junmao obviously has something to say, if there is a sense of contempt for nothing, even if he is as dull as Huo Qing, he can read it.

"Uncle Xia is right, you really can't just rely on your mouth!" Ling Feiyan was very dissatisfied with Xia Junmao's attitude, and stood up first to speak: "I haven't tried, how do we know that we don't have real kung fu?" ”

Ling Tieying stood at the end of the line, and he was helpless to stop his daughter, so he could only clench his fists with both hands in a hurry.

"It is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, and the scarlet face has really become a graceful girl! Since Scarlet Yan has said so, okay, if you have any real kung fu, you might as well shine it up, and let me see it! Xia Junmao's smile made Xuan Shaoning feel a little adulterated.

"It's been a long journey, you might as well rest first, and you can try another day", Mo Chengfeng was still worried that these juniors and disciples were too young, they had just entered the barracks, and they didn't understand the rules.

"If you're afraid, then it's all as if I didn't say it!" Xia Junmao no longer looked at the newcomers, turned to King Yu and said loudly: "General, go to the playground with the last general to watch the drill!" ”

This has stimulated the anger of several young people.

"Who's afraid? We are not tired, thank you Brother Mo for your concern, we can compete now! Huo Qing was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction.

Xia Junmao is obviously a radical general, but Xuan Shaoning also knows that if he loses his momentum in this first level, he is afraid that he will have a hard time in this military camp in the future.

King Yu, who had been watching from the side, finally spoke at this time: "It's still early today, it's a good opportunity for me to wait and see what you can do, but if you have a word, you can stop at the point, and you must not hurt the other party." Location, just choose the playground of your southern military camp, Captain Xia, lead the way! ”

Xia Junmao immediately turned around and led the way in front, and there were a total of 30,000 people stationed in the southern military camp, including Handao, Rusty Chelate, and Jinjia Sanwei. Walking into the gate of the military district, you can see the military camps neatly arranged on both sides, the camp tents on the left are red and black, and the ones on the right are yellow.

"Are these three colors used to distinguish them?" Xuan Shaoning asked.

This time it was the young lieutenant who replied, Xiang Ang, "Yes, the red color is my rusty chela, which means the big chela to clamp down on the enemy army; Black is a cold knife, which is like a knife night raid; The yellow one is the Golden Armor. ”

"Oh, I see, then ......" Before Duan Lang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Junmao, "The front is the drill ground, general, I'll go and order to make room!" ”

"Someone!"

"Yes, Captain Xiadu!" A soldier immediately ran forward to obey the order.

"Go and inform the captain of the war, the general is here! Make room for the playground and let all the brothers wait in the playground! ”

"Yes!"

With the disappearance of the little soldier's figure, Shi Gong Zhengyuan quietly leaned into Xuan Shaoning's ear, "This Xia Duwei is clearly going to make a big deal about the competition, are you ready?" ”

"I know, since that's the case, the more people the better" Having said that, Xuan Shaoning really didn't know the bottom in his heart, he knew each other's abilities, but the other party was a Xuanjia army with actual combat experience.

"This Uncle Xia, what's wrong with today, making such a big formation?" Ling Feiyan asked with some confusion.

King Yu was all down to Xia Junmao at this time, and only showed a smile at the corner of his mouth that outsiders couldn't detect at all.

The drill ground has a grandstand made of huge logs, which is three people high and can accommodate dozens of people at a time. The grandstand is covered by a curtain on the top, but it is unobstructed on either side, with a long table of two people in the center and several short side tables on either side. King Yu was sitting in the center of the stands, Mo Chengfeng was seated on his left, Xia Junmao and Xiang Ang were on the left and right, and Xuan Shaoning and others were seated on the side seats.

At this time, a person ran on the playground, looking at his posture as if he was also young, and he should be similar to Xiang Ang in terms of age, and he was also dressed in cyan armor. When he ran closer, the newcomers saw the appearance clearly: a face that had been eroded by wind and sand for a long time, small and narrow, like the melon seed face of a Jiangnan woman, but the facial features were rough and raw, in short, it gave people a very strange feeling, and the body was seven feet, not as thick as Ling Tieying, but it gave people a sense of strength and inviolability.

"The last general is fighting thunder, see the general!" The sound is like a bell, the vicissitudes of life are powerful, and the age really doesn't match.

"Come today, at the request of the Master, let's meet your juniors first!" King Yu pointed his hand to the side.

"Several junior disciples, Zhan Ting is a disciple of the sixth Qingshan Academy. In the past, the division went out of the same door, and in the future, they can fight side by side! Zhan Ting got up, turned around, clenched his fists, and saluted, a series of movements that were clean and neat.

"It turns out that Captain Zhandu is also our senior brother!" Huo Qing stood up suddenly, and several newcomers hugged their fists in front of the playground.

"Qingshan Academy is full of talents, and with your joining today, the combat power of Xuanjia has reached a higher level!" Zhan Ting saw his fellow disciples, and a smile also bloomed on his black cheeks, and his smile made people feel warm all over his body.

"Senior brother is true, but comrades-in-arms, it's hard to say now", Xia Junmao came out in time to "correct".

"Captain Xia, what do you mean by this?" Zhan Thunder retracted his smile and wondered.

"Zhan Ting, Xia Duwei just wants to try the kung fu of a few of them," King Yu came out and made it clear.

"Competition? What to try? Zhan Thunder continued to ask.

"A few young people, I can't bully the young, the content of the competition will be determined by a few little brothers!" Xia Junmao waved his hand and gave up the decision to the newcomers, seemingly making concessions.

"Thank you Xia Duwei for your understanding", Shi Gong Zhengyuan got up first and walked to the front of the stands, bowed and saluted: "General, Zhengyuan just saw that there are ten targets on the side of the playground, why don't you test riding and archery in the first round?" ”

Shi Gong Zhengyuan was careful, Xuan Shaoning didn't notice the target at all after entering the playground, not to mention the quantity.

"How do you want to try riding and archery at the same time?" King Yu asked with interest.

"How about riding a horse past the ten targets, shooting the arrows in your hand to the center, and finally determining the winner or loser by the number of arrows that hit the center?" Shi Gong Zhengyuan explained concisely. As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the audience became interested, and their faces were flushed, waiting to see a good show.

"It's a great idea, it's better than riding and archery!" King Yu agreed.

"Zhengyuan begs to compete with the most outstanding horsemen and archery in the camp!"

"Little brother, you're not old, but your tone is not small!" Xia Junmao was a little surprised that Shi Gong Zhengyuan was so confident in his skills, but no matter how you look at this white-faced scholar, it is difficult for him to have this ability. But now this situation is difficult to ride a tiger, so I have to agree: "Okay, where is Fang Qi?" Xia Junmao shouted.

"The last general!" I saw a short general stand up.

"Fang Qi is the captain of the rust chela, and his riding and archery skills are the best among the rusty chelaries" Xia Junmao said and looked at Shi Gong Zhengyuan, but the other party didn't look at him, just stared at the people in the field.

"Okay, Zhengyuan is willing to meet Captain Fang for a while! Please allow the General! Shi Gong Zhengyuan turned to King Yu and bowed his hand, and after getting the nod from King Yu, he left the stands and came to the playground. He took the horse handed by Zhan Ting, began to stroke the mane of the horse, and talked to the horse from time to time, with a leisurely attitude, as if he did not take the competition of 10,000 people to heart.

This made everyone present unclear for a while, but fortunately, King Yu was strictly disciplined, and no one spoke out when the soldiers present had doubts, and they all watched Shi Gong Zhengyuan and a strange war horse "grinding with ears and temples".

"Although Zhengyuan's beast control skills are not as good as Ke'er, it is more than enough to deal with a horse!" Xuan Shaoning knew very well in his heart that Shi Gong Zhengyuan was sharpening knives and cutting wood.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, Shi Gong Zhengyuan turned over and got on the horse, pulled the reins and came to the center of the field, Fang Qi was finally able to ride the horse and Shi Gong Zhengyuan to tie up, both of them raised their hands to the stands and hugged their fists, turned the horse's head, facing each other head-on.

"The visitor is a guest, you go first!" Fang Qi motioned to Shi Gong Zhengyuan to compete first.

"Thank you!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan did not shirk, with a quiver on his back and a bow and arrow in his hand, he rode his horse to a place about 100 meters away from the target.

For a while, the audience was quieter than before, and they were all staring at Shi Gong Zhengyuan, all wanting to see what this fledgling young man was capable of.

Shi Gong Zhengyuan looked at the target expressionlessly, lifted the reins, and shouted, "Drive!" Immediately rode the horse and ran, a moment later, the first target was getting closer and closer, Shi Gong Zhengyuan unhurriedly pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, bent the bow on the arrow, his eyes stared straight at the target surface, with a bang The arrow left the string, the string trembled, and the arrow was steadily inserted into the red dot in the center of the target surface.

"Good!" Huo Qing was the first to stand up and shout.

"Sure enough, it's a good archery," King Yu showed a satisfied expression.

Just when everyone was still immersed in the accuracy of this first arrow, Shi Gong Zhengyuan shot eight arrows in a row again, all of which hit the bull's-eye, and when the tenth target appeared, Shi Gong Zhengyuan hesitated slightly, and the arrow shot crookedly, about three inches away from the red heart.

"Hey, it's a pity, or it's all hit!" Huo Qing was obviously a little disappointed, but Xuan Shaoning felt that this last arrow was a little strange.

"It's a little regret that one is missing in ten miles, but those nine arrows are enough to show their skills!" King Yu praised him.

"Next, it's up to Fang Qi!" Xia Junmao was very surprised by the performance of the talented master Gong Zhengyuan, but he still looked calm on his face.

Fang Qi rode his horse to the same starting point, although his face was expressionless, but his heart was very stressed, he could shoot arrows while riding a horse, and nine out of ten, the difficulty can be imagined, if he wants to win, the only thing he can do is to hit all ten arrows, but, can this be done?

"Drive!"

Fang Qi set off, his riding skills can be said to be on par with Shi Gong Zhengyuan, when the first target arrived, Fang Qi also calmly released the arrow, but the first arrow was a little inaccurate, but it could be inserted five inches from the center.

Seeing this scene, Xia Junmao frowned, as if he was dissatisfied, but King Yu's expression remained unchanged and he was concentrating on appreciation.

The inaccuracy of the first arrow made Fang Qi also a little panicked, he calmed down, opened the bow again, and the next eight arrows hit the bull's-eye impartially. In view of this, Xia Junmao finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if this last arrow hit, it would be a draw. Sure enough, Fang Qi did not disappoint everyone, and the last arrow was also shot steadily into the bull's-eye.

"Good archery!" This time, it was Xuan Shaoning who praised it first.

When the two of them came to the front of the stands again, King Yu stood up and said, "I know Fang Qi's archery skills very well, so I don't need to say more." Unexpectedly, Zhengyuan's riding and archery skills are also so good. Although the two of you each have an arrow that is inaccurate, but speaking of which, Zhengyuan is off by three inches, and Fang Qi is off by five inches, so this competition is still better than Zhengyuan! ”

Hearing this result, Xuan Shaoning, Duan Lang, Huo Qing, and Ling Feiyan were all smiling.

"I didn't expect that you are so young and your archery skills are so good, Fang Qi is convinced!" Fang Qi clenched his fists and spoke frankly.

"It's over, Captain Fang's archery skills are not far behind!"

"This first competition is really wonderful," Xia Junmao expressed his affirmation of both sides of the competition in a timely manner.

"What first item? So there's a competition, right? Huo Qing asked.

"Yes, this second competition, how about we compete in martial arts?" Xia Junmao asked at Huo Qing.

"Martial arts, okay, let me do this game!" Huo Qing has been holding back for a long time, and he has long wanted to stand up, and martial arts are his strength.

"I'll do the martial arts!" Xiang Ang went out to ask King Yu for instructions.

"Okay, Xiang Ang's technical attack can also be regarded as one of the best in the army!" King Yu readily agreed.

Seeing Huo Qing and Xiang Ang standing still in the playground, Ling Feiyan leaned into Xuan Shaoning's ear and whispered, "Who do you think can win this game?" ”

"Huo Qing's martial arts, we are very clear, but I don't know anything about Xiang Ang's moves, so I can only watch first."

Duan Lang also interjected: "Since this Xiang Ang can become the captain of the rusty claw, I am afraid that his skills will not be ordinary." ”

Xiang Ang and Huo Qing were neither holding weapons, and after the two of them clasped their fists and signaled, they set up their respective positions. Huo Qing took the lead in making a move, striding forward, his fists went straight to Xiang Ang's front door, Xiang Ang took a step back, blocked with both hands, and sandwiched Huo Qing's fist between his elbows, and then with force, his legs kicked, and the whole person turned over behind Huo Qing.

Oh no, Huo Qing is passive! Xuan Shaoning was a little nervous, and his hand tightly grasped the arm of the chair.

But at this moment, Huo Qing pushed Xiang Ang's hands away with a slam push, and immediately squatted down, just dodging Xiang Ang's attack from behind. Xiang Ang was very sure that a shot was recognized by Huo Qing and successfully dodged, a moment of hesitation gave Huo Qing a chance to counterattack, he swept his legs vigorously, forcing Xiang Ang to retreat, after turning around, the short body is a slam lunge, Xiang Ang can stand firm, Huo Qing's palm wind has come to the front, I thought that this blow was foolproof, who knows, this palm shot was actually empty!

"What's going on? What about Xiang Angren? Duan Lang's eyes widened and he couldn't see clearly how Xiang Ang disappeared out of thin air, Xuan Shaoning had already stood up and stared at the playground intently.

Huo Qing slapped his palm, and immediately felt that there was danger on the right side, he did a backflip without looking back, and before he landed, he found that his tricks were seen through by Xiang Ang, and Xiang Ang was already waiting in the place where he expected to land. No way! Huo Qing wanted to turn, but he was in the air, and his actions were not as agile as on the ground, Xiang Ang didn't give Huo Qing a chance this time, he jumped up with an arrow, and slapped a hard palm on Huo Qing's waist, Huo Qing's waist hurt, and he fell to the ground.

"Wonderful!" King Yu said in time, and this sentence was also a signal for the end of the competition.

Xiang Ang withdrew his hand, walked in front of Huo Qing, stretched out his hand and said gently: "I shot a little heavier just now, please forgive me." ”

Huo Qing smiled, "Xiang Duwei is serious, you have already collected a lot of strength just now." Stretch out his hand and ask Xiang Ang to pull him up.

"I lost this contest!" Huo Qing said facing the stands.

"Brother Qing, admit it!" Xiang Ang returned the salute with his fists again.

"The two matches just now are enough to show your strength. How is it, Xia Duwei, are you still satisfied? King Yu asked Xia Junmao with a smile.

"The general is right, just now Xia was too arrogant, and his words and deeds were offended, please don't be surprised. Xia Moujie martial arts, has always served people with ability, although you are young, but from today's competition, it can be seen that not only martial arts are exquisite, but also delicate. ”

Regarding Xia Junmao's sudden change of face, several people were a little confused by the second monk, and they didn't know whether this guy was singing white face or red face.

"Xia Duwei is such a person, he is straightforward and fast-hearted, but he treats people with sincerity. The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, a few little brothers might as well talk about which guard they want to enter my Xuanjia? King Yu asked very sincerely.

"I want to go to Jinjia, I know that I am not good at riding, but I will definitely practice martial arts diligently in the future, and I hope that the general will be perfect" Huo Qing spoke first.

"Brother Qing's martial arts skills are indeed not bad, and the golden armor is worthy of you!"

"Brother Zhengyuan's riding and archery skills are first-class, in my opinion, they will go to rust, are you willing?"

"Shi Gong Zhengyuan thanked the general!"

"What about the two of you, you didn't make a move just now, but in my opinion, the skills should not be bad, do you have any intentions?"

"I'm willing to join the Cold Knife," Xuan Shaoning replied affirmatively to King Yu.

"Good! I've got another Fierce General, haha! Xia Junmao laughed.

"I, Duan Lang, am also willing to join the Cold Knife!" Before Xia Junmao could react, King Yu said with a smile: "It's not just a fierce general, you have earned it!" ”

"General, why don't you ask me!" Ling Feiyan stood up at this time, very dissatisfied with everyone forgetting her, "You still despise women!" ”

"Don't get me wrong, aren't we thinking about your father, your father is just a daughter like you!" Xia Junmao looked at Ling Tieying, who was anxious, and explained with a smile.

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have practiced in Qingshan Academy for seven years, is it possible to return to the Xuanjia Army to be a female celebrity? I'm also going to join the Cold Knife, if you're not convinced, then come and compete with me! Ling Feiyan looked hard-hearted.

"In that case, how about we each take a step back?" King Yu had already stood up at this time, and it was conceivable that Ling Feiyan was still quite cared for in the army.

"How to retreat?"

"I allow you to enter the Xuanjia, but you can't join the cold knife, you can only enter the golden armor, if you agree, you will go to Yuan Yao tomorrow to report, if you don't agree......" King Yu pretended to hesitate.

"Agreed!"
