In the west of Luoyang City, there is a martial arts exercise ground of the Yulin Army, and the newly built cement field is the examination room for the two Beijing Commanders. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Emperor Gaozong couldn't wait, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was still immersed in the joy of the festival, so he ordered the two Beijing warriors to be selected.

This is a grand event of the Tang Dynasty, and the edict ordered the people to also participate in watching, so that the society can cultivate more martial spirit.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been constant wars, the army needs new blood, and the martial spirit is indispensable.

Therefore, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the gates of the various markets in Luoyang City opened earlier than in the past.

The warriors who participated in the selection and the people who watched the excitement walked out of the gate of the market one after another and went to the Anxi Gate in the west.

When I got out of Anximen, it was still dark, but the road was brightly lit.

After the cement road is completed, according to the will of the Queen of Heaven, cement lamp poles are set up along the way, lamp holders lit with fire oil and sockets that can be plugged into torches.

The people are more enthusiastic than the warriors who are down, because there is a lot of excitement to see, and they have to grab the position!

That's right, the martial arts arena is built with eight rows of high, 200 meters long cement seats, except for the front of the middle is the position of dignitaries, the middle rear and left are the positions of the officers and soldiers who come to see on vacation and send tickets (given to the gentry are often given, and the officers and soldiers are also sent), and the right is the people's seats, first come, first served... The military department was stupid enough not to sell tickets.

Feng Xiaobao arrived at the martial arts arena too late, and he and Princess Taiping were stunned by the enthusiasm on the field.

The seats were crowded with people, even the steps were full of people, and the empty seats at the top were also full of people.

Chinese people like to watch the excitement in any dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception!

Sitting at the front of the middle is, of course, the high-ranking civil and military officials, and the presiding officers are Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, the three products of the Tongzhong Shumen, and the general Niu Tong of the left guard.

The person who sits in the middle of the throne is Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, the fourteenth son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the uncle of the current emperor, he is young and talented, good at riding and shooting, has a "business" specialty, and is a royal family, so he was ordered to preside over the grand meeting of warriors. . . He is old, so there is no need to worry about him joining the army.

The presence of Sanpin Laiheng under the door of Tongzhongshu showed that the imperial court attached great importance to the warriors.

Niu Tong, the general of the Left Guard, is not famous, and he has not even left his name in the history books, and he should not have killed as many people as Feng Xiaobao, but he is loyal to the emperor, which makes him sit in this position even if he has few military achievements.

There are a lot of civil officials from the three provinces and six ministries in the forefront, the Tang Dynasty established the country by force, and many civil officials have a little kung fu, and the military attachés are the generals of the Sixteen Guards, Zhonglang Generals, and relatives of the emperor.

The rest of the positions were middle and low-ranking officers, idle clansmen, bosses of all walks of life, and wealthy foreigners, who occupied the next best seats.

The officials have reserved seats, and what rank can sit in what position cannot be surpassed, and even if the rich come late, their position is often not bad, because in the various and effortless occupations done by the idle poor in the capital. There is a special profession that is to rush to public entertainment places early and occupy good seats for the wealthy. When the rich and noble people thought that the performances were worth seeing, they took a horse-drawn carriage to these places and paid a hundred coppers to get the right to sit in a good seat.

The newcomers' newly acquired professions are also thanks to the three major ball leagues of the princess, and there are no cement seats between them, let alone tickets to enter the stadium.

There were actually quite a few hawkers in the crowd, and they were so agile that they could squeeze in anywhere like cockroaches.

Peanuts and melon seeds jerky, Hu cake meat cabbage buns, and cheese with a special taste!

Then there was tea, soy milk, and alcohol, and so on, and everyone ate and drank excitedly and happily, buzzing like a beehive.

No one would know that the scene in front of him has a lot to do with Feng Xiaobao, and now the new concept of watching the game, due to the use of cement and steel bars, Datang has built a tall sports field and gone in a higher and bigger direction.

The three major ball leagues are in the ascendant, moving from Guanzhong to various places, and many people have benefited from it: building competition venues, advertising fee income, naming rights income, designated food, equipment income, ball newspaper income, lottery income, etc., unconsciously, Feng Xiaobao has added many new elements to Datang.

"That's a lot of people!" Princess Taiping saw that there was no place,

It was easy to get a position, Feng Xiaobao went straight to the left side of the first row in the middle, pulled a big man there, and motioned for him to give way, the big man bared his teeth and smiled fiercely: "What, Xiaobao, you want to sit hard!" ”

The big man has a majestic body, a mighty appearance, dark skin, and a pair of leopard ring-eyes.

He didn't wear armor, but his shirt revealed the tiger lining of the senior military attaché, and he was the general of the Zuo Xiao cavalry guard, Linghu Xiao, a half-Hu man, who had been soaking on the northern front, mixed in the northeast, fighting with Goguryeo, Silla, Khitan, and Turks, killing a lot of people, and meeting Feng Xiaobao, but he was not familiar with it, and he had no friendship.

Therefore, when he saw Feng Xiaobao wanting to sit hard, he immediately added one more sentence: "I heard that you are the first hero on the Northwest Front, I will compare with you to see who is the warrior!" ”

Then clench your fists and have bad intentions!

Feng Xiaobao is the general of the right Xiao cavalry, Ling Hu Xiao is the general of the left Xiao cavalry guard, the left and right siblings are involved in business, natural opposite, Feng Xiaobao provoked the door, Ling Hu Xiao's eyes lit up, hehe, drowsiness met the pillow, begging to beat!

Feng Xiaobao didn't say a word, and on the side of his body, Princess Taiping appeared.

She smiled and shook her palm at Ling Huxiao, she came out and changed into men's clothes, like a handsome young student.

Ling Hu smiled and blinked his eyes, paused for a moment, and opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Feng Xiaobao put his left finger to his mouth and shouted, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Feng Xiaobao raised three more fingers, which meant three positions.

So, Ling Hu smiled and pulled the next seat and the three people next to him, all of them were his comrades, a total of four people, gave up their seats, and squeezed into the second row arrogantly.

The people in the second row had to squeeze inside, and there were quite a few people seated, but there were four more big men at once, and they immediately complained.

Someone said coldly: "Hehe, the left Xiao cavalry guard let the right Xiao cavalry guard, it's really fresh, the first time I saw it, I have a long vision!" ”

Ling Hu Xiao was furious, but when he saw that the man was a civil official, he couldn't be rude, so Ling Hu Xiao would also speak and say: "Let Rang be nothing, our comrades are affectionate, can you manage it?!" It's better than some people who don't walk with their eyes, maybe they fall into the ditch halfway! ”

He cursed people to fall into the ditch, the civil official sneered non-stop, the other party did not open his fist, played with his mouth, and the civil official still needed to be afraid of the military attaché, so he waited to show his three-inch tongue, but he pulled it to his colleagues next to him, and said a word in his ear, and the civil official's momentum was lost.

Linghu Xiao gave up his seat, went to the two female guards of Princess Taiping first, and then to Princess Taiping, Feng Xiaobao sat on the very side.

Feng Xiaobao commanded the fox with a smile: "This is the general of the Zuo Xiao cavalry guard to make the fox laugh!" ”

Princess Taiping said casually: "Thank you! ”

Linghu Xiao gasped and said in his heart: "The princess thanked me!" ”

He has protected the royal nobles and seen the princess, and Feng Xiaobao also knows that he has seen the princess, so he shows the princess, and there is no disadvantage.

It's also good for Ling Huxiao, his name is remembered by the princess, and he has to thank Feng Xiaobao, it's a good thing to give up a seat, and others can't ask for it.

This seat is so good!

The little storm was in everyone's eyes, and many people glared at Feng Xiaobao. (To be continued.) )
