Chapter 12 Drawing of lots

Today's Tang Dynasty has not seen Taifu for decades. If it weren't for the prestige of Dazai and Taibao, many people in the court would have wanted to remove Taifu from his name and choose another one to replace him.

And the original Taifu was feared by the camp of the new emperor of the Eastern Capital. From winning the name of the Lantern Festival test double champion that year, and then entering the Shangling Academy. Or some remarks and political opinions in the court. Although, these are not the main ones.

Decades ago, the sword in Baihua Lane made the major nobles and princes in the Eastern Capital reluctant to mention it to this day.

Later, Taifu left the Eastern Capital and disappeared in front of the world, which made the stones in the hearts of all the forces in the Eastern Capital fall to the ground.

And now, Taifu's sword technique has actually appeared in the Wuqu Palace!

…………….

Li Fu put away the long sword in his hand, walked to Wang Quan's side, and took off the waist card from his waist. And Wang Quan has already seized a quick waist card from elsewhere, plus Li Fu himself. Just enough for the three waist cards he needed.

"Okay, Li Fu, you won."

General Long Wuwei's face was expressionless, and he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart. I just hope that this scuffle will end soon, so that the electronic news can be reported to the above.

The final outcome of this chaotic war was not expected by most of the people in the scene, and almost all of them were the children of several major forces in the Eastern Capital. They came to participate in the Lantern Festival exam not for the career path, but for the reward of the royal family.

Most of the rest of the people are from the major mansions in the Eastern Capital, and although there are so many students from the states and counties who win every year, few of them can enter the top three.

After this controversy, there are less than 100 people left to move on to the next level.

"Didn't you tell me that I had never cultivated?" After Yang Zixu confirmed that Li Fu was not injured, he said with a gloomy face.

"What do you mean by betting on me?" Li Fu retorted.

"It's... It's time to get even. The anger on Yang Zixu's face disappeared in an instant, after all, he was the first to lose.

"Have you succeeded in purging your marrow? But why can't I feel a trace of true essence in you? Yang Zixu asked.

"Me? I guess it was a success, but the exercises that Master taught me were a bit special. Li Fu thought for a moment and replied.

Yang Zixu nodded thoughtfully, when Yang Zixu was young, he had heard the old lady at home say some things about cultivation, and some special exercises were not the same as most people, like shortcuts, although there were differences, but in the end they would still return to the avenue.

"Tianyuan Upper Realm?!" Yang Ning stared at the three sword qi on the pillar for a long time, and suddenly spoke.

"No, Tianyuan Middle Realm." Li Fu shook his head.

"Then aren't you in the top three this time?"

Yang Zixu hugged Li Fu and looked at him excitedly.

"Not necessarily, as far as I know, almost all of the people from the Wang family and the Shangguan family are in the Tianyuan Realm, it seems that Shangguan Qi of the Shangguan family just entered the Chaolu Realm not long ago, but he has never seen them in this test. However, since someone from the Wang family is here, then someone must have reached the Tianyuan Upper Realm. Yang Ning glanced at Wang Han, who was carried away, frowned slightly, and shook his head.

At this time, the chief examiner in the hall checked the identities of the remaining people and took them to the grand martial arts arena outside the hall.

In winter, it is already the time of the new year, and the temperature is gradually starting to get colder. The literary examination is almost over, and the top three have also been separated, but the announcement will not be announced together with the results of the martial arts examination after the end of the martial arts examination. There are many students who apply for the literary and martial arts examinations together, and if they can get the top three in the double examination, then the third place in the double examination will be squeezed out to the fourth place. Although it is more difficult to double test the top three, it is not impossible. However, the double test leader has not appeared in many years.

"How long have you been trying?" Yang Ning asked.

"The first one came out, but in the last pass, the final decision is still in the hands of the three princes, and the top three should be no different."

Li Fu said honestly, but there was some luck in his heart. The Master once told himself that everything you can succeed in is not done by your ability, and there will be some luck in it, so you must learn to be in awe.

Yang Ning nodded, this answer was nothing surprising to him, because when he entered the last level, there were only two doors left. It seems that the first person to walk out of Chaoyang Hall is Li Fu.

At this moment, the three rings on the square outside the hall have also been built, and it seems that one of the martial arts test rings should have been changed later, otherwise the royal family and the student supervisor would not have started to build the ring at this time.

And under the corridor of His Royal Highness Hanguang, there were many people who came to watch the ceremony, all of whom were important ministers in the court.

Before the battle begins, a draw will be held. In a sense, the draw is even more important than the battle itself. If you can draw a relatively weak opponent, it is equivalent to passing this round in advance, but if you are unlucky to draw an opponent like Yang Ning, what should you do?

"Tianshui - He Ying, against Zhongshan County - Yang Xiao"

"Tianxianfang - Zhang Chu, against Lin'an County - Yi Qianming"

……………………..

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were focused on the generals who drew lots in the field.

"Tianyu Divine General's Mansion - Yang Zixu." The military attache then pulled out the second note, glanced at it, and said, "Against the Hundred Battles Marquis Mansion - Wang Han"

The martial arts arena was silent or deadly silent, and it took a long time for the candidates to react and let out countless exclamations.

Wang Han of the Shence Mansion can be said to be one of the three masters of the younger generation in Dongdu, who has challenged Yang Ning and has never fallen behind in two hundred rounds. And although Yang Zixu is also from a famous family, but....this young master's personality is probably known to most people in the Eastern Capital. At the age of twelve, he drank fools around in Qin Xianfang all day long....

The emotions in those exclamations are very mixed, in addition to shock, there is also a lot of joy, and in the few exclamations, the emotions of schadenfreude can be heard.

Yang Zi looked at these gloating people with a dark face, and his opponent looked at him with disdain, which made him very unhappy.

"Grandma, dare to underestimate this young master so much, and when I make up my mind to turn you into a pig's head, the Shence Mansion will be angry!" Yang Zixu spat at the mouthful.

"Are you sure?" Yang Ning didn't seem to be very worried, others didn't know Yang Zixu's details, but he knew very well that this young master's skills were not much worse than his own.

"I'm still somewhat sure of those who are in the gods' policy. After all, I've fought with them a few times, and it's just those old tricks. Yang Zixu said.

"It's better to be careful, Wang Han's thunder has definitely reached the sixth layer. The realm is not much worse than you and me. Yang Ning pulled Yang Zixu aside and whispered something.

"Is that kid next to Yang Ning just now the one who eliminated the third brother out of the game?" Wang Leng looked at Li Fu on the side, and asked like a person next to him.

"Yes, the third brother was injured by him, but the second brother, you have to be careful. I heard that Mrs. Yang has spent a lot of effort on Yang Zixu's body in the past two years, Yang Zixu has been secretly studying this matter in Shangling Courtyard for the past year, but he was forcibly pressed down by Mrs. Yang, and even the student supervisor turned a blind eye. The four brothers of the Wang family, the fourth elder Wang Wei, said on the side.

The Tiance Mansion and the Shence Mansion are directly under the royal command and are not among the six departments. Tiance was founded by Emperor Taizong, and the predecessor of Shence was a department set up by the then Holy Empress to consolidate her rule more than 200 years ago. Later, more than 70 years ago, he helped His Majesty win the throne and became famous, and since then he has opened the pattern of the Tang Dynasty's two palaces and four armies.

Many of the people in this examination are the younger generation in the Shuangfu camp, such as Yang Ning, Yang Zixu and the three brothers of the Wang family.

"So what? His Shangling Academy is just a small school, can it be compared to my divine strategy! If it was those few in the Heavenly Strategy, it wouldn't be enough, and the Yang Mansion was no better than the Holy Empress period now. Wang Han said disdainfully.
