Volume II, Chapter 23, The Controversy of the Lords

Zeng Gou'er only felt a gust of wind blowing on his face, but he didn't feel pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a wooden knife placed in the middle of his eyes, and he didn't cut it down.

Da Xihong said: "Offended." "Put the knife away.

"Daxi, Daxi." The shouts from the audience became more intense. Until the two stepped down, there were still people shouting Daxi's voice.

Du Mingda sighed: "Da Xihong's knife technique has reached the realm of being able to collect the law freely. ”

Since Yang Tian arrived at the barracks, Du Mingda has neither confronted Yang Tian, nor has he been deliberately close, he seems very different, Yang Tian rarely even hears him talking to people, but Yang Tian has assigned the task, but Du Mingda will complete it to the letter, so that Yang Tian can't figure out his intentions, and ask Li Gang about it, only to know that Du Mingda is the same when he is under the King of Qi.

Yang Tian came to the conclusion that Du Mingda is a relatively arrogant person in his heart, and he is also a person who is not sociable, but this is a pure soldier, as long as he is his superior, he will not fight, since this is the case, Yang Tian will not deliberately pull the cage on Du Mingda.

Hearing Du Mingda praise Da Xihong's knife technique, Yang Tian couldn't help asking: "I don't know how Lord Du compares?" ”

Du Mingda said lukewarmly: "Back to the general, I have compared with Da Xihong at the end of my humble position, and I don't know." ”

Yang Tian suffered a little bit, he didn't care, he had a bottom in his heart, this Du Mingda's martial arts were probably still above Da Xihong, he didn't want to praise himself, so he could only answer ambiguously.

By the time of the afternoon Shen, all forty games were over, Shi Tao and Yuan Wei each easily defeated their opponents and entered the top forty, Yang Tian announced that today's game was over, and the top twenty will be contested tomorrow.

After a night of silence, the next day after breakfast, the ring competition resumed, and the stage was more exciting, from forty to twenty, and then from twenty to ten, and finally there were only five winners left in the ring.

Yuan Wei and Luo Yi both broke into the top five, but Shi Tao was blocked out of the fifth place, and after a hard battle, he was defeated by a team owner. The five people standing in front of Yang Tian at this moment, in addition to Yuan Wei and Luo Yi, were Da Xihong, Zhang Xingzhi, and Qu Tutong.

And Liu Shi, who defeated Yang Shi, did not even enter the top twenty, Zhang Xingzhi was the one who defeated Shi Tao, Shi Tao was second only to Luo Yi in martial arts among the one hundred and eight teenagers trained by Yang Tian, and he could defeat Shi Tao, it can be said that Zhang Xingzhi's martial arts are very good, among the five, Zhang Xingzhi is the oldest, already in his thirties, and Da Xihong and Qu Tutong are only twenty-three or four years old.

There are two building owners and three deputy building owners vacancy in the Xuanlong Army, and the five of them vow to fight again, but how to compare is a problem, Yang Tian discussed with Li Gang, Li Quan, Shi Wansui and others, and let Luo Yi withdraw from the competition, Luo Yi is still young after all, and he has never led the army, if he wins, he will suddenly hand over five hundred people to him, Yang Tian will not rest assured.

Luo Yi was brought by Yang Tian, let him withdraw from the competition, Shi Wansui and the others naturally had no opinion, only Luo Yi pouted, his face was unhappy, but he could only obey Yang Tian's words.

After Luo Yi withdrew, the four were divided into two groups, the winner will be appointed as the owner, and the loser will be appointed as the deputy owner, and the group will be determined by lottery, and the result of the draw will be Yuan Wei and Da Xihong in a group, Qu Tutong and Zhang Xing in a group.

After drawing lots, the sky was about to get dark, and the competition of these four people had to be waged until tomorrow, Yang Tian announced the end of the game, and watched the game tomorrow, but Yang Tian has been thinking about a name since he stepped out of the ring, Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong, why is this name so familiar?

Until he finished eating, Yang Tian was still thinking about it in the room, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he wanted to grab something, a sound of footsteps came, interrupting his thoughts, Yang Tian looked up and saw that it was Luo Yi who walked in.

Yang Tian's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered who Qu Tutong was, Qu Tutong was the first general of the Sui Dynasty to surrender after Li Yuan rebelled, and later made countless achievements for the Tang Dynasty, and was also named the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion by Li Shimin, but he didn't expect Qu Tutong to be his subordinate now, and the Xuanlong Army was really full of talents.

After figuring out Qu Tutong's origin, Yang Tian was very happy in his heart, with Qu Tutong's talent, it was naturally more than enough to be a building owner, but he didn't know what kind of person Zhang Xingzhi was.

Yang Tian secretly hated that he didn't care about history in his previous life, otherwise he would almost want to break his head to get Qu Tutong's origin, if he could remember more knowledge, he wouldn't have to be so trembling now, for fear of making a mistake, and being able to remember Qu Tutong's origin, I'm afraid it would be because of reading novels or TV.

Seeing Luo Yi pouting, knowing that Luo Yi was still unhappy that he had let him withdraw from the competition, Yang Tian teased: "What, who owes you money?" ”

Luo Yi said angrily: "General, before the competition, you didn't ask me not to take the position of the lord." ”

Yang Tian said with a smile: "Why, you are still too young to give you a deputy building master, at your age, if you join the army, I am afraid that no one will even want a small soldier." ”

Luo Yi muttered in a low voice: "Anyone who is younger than me can be a general." ”

Yang Tian knocked Luo Yi's head: "What is the blind comparison, I didn't see how many people in the Xuanlong Army were dissatisfied when I first came, you see that officer in the Xuanlong Army has not fought with his life on the battlefield, think about what you have done, if you are not the person I bringed, you are not qualified to participate in the competition at all, if you want to be the owner of the building, there will be more opportunities in the future, as long as you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you are afraid that you will not be promoted to the master, first do a good job of your pupils." ”

Luo Yi thought about the several sergeants who were defeated by him today, all of them had more or less scars on their bodies, especially the team leader named Zheng Xiong, whose martial arts were only slightly weaker than him, and he must have made a lot of contributions, but he was stabbed sideways and lost a further opportunity, so he was relieved, and he muttered: "General, I thought bad for a while." ”

Yang Tian patted Luo Yi on the shoulder: "This is in the army, after the competition tomorrow, the general will give you a position, if you can't do a good job of the deputy position by then, although you are someone close to me, I will still remove you." ”

Luo Yi hurriedly said: "General, I promise to do a good job as a deputy general." Exited Yang Tian's room.

"Knock, knock, knock." The drums sounded again, and today was the third and last day of the joust, and today's joust will decide who will ascend to the throne of the lord. With the sound of drums, the entire Xuanlong Army cheered, Da Xihong, Zhang Xingzhi, and Qu Tutong all supported the same people, only Yuan Wei seemed to be slightly less.
