Before you know it, the sky is dark, and the streets of Chang'an are full of all kinds of lanterns, illuminating Chang'an City red, like a city that never sleeps.

Behind Xue Li is a big restaurant, the lights are on, and it is already crowded; Qin Huaiyu is 18 years old, Wang Xuance and others are also 15 years old, and several little guys have successfully signed up here to drink and celebrate.

They passed by here and saw Xue Li curled up in the corner, Qin Huaiyu took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to him, "It's really pitiful, I asked for food at a young age." ”

Wang Xuance snorted coldly: "Brother shouldn't care about him, such a big young man, why doesn't he have a bite to eat?" Do you have to ask for food here? ”

Xue Lizhen's face was flushed, he stood up quickly, stuffed the broken silver in his hand to Qin Huaiyu and said, "I, I'm not asking for food, I'm here to apply for the military academy." Saying that, Xue Li ran away without heading.

Unexpectedly, he ran too fast this time, and he was crashing into a big man walking with his son next to him. Xue Li regretted it in his heart, he felt that he must have injured the other party this time, he had no relatives and friends in Chang'an, and he was penniless, but how to compensate others!

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Xue Li stumbled.

"Young man, why are you so reckless? Has it been damaged? "This big man is Cheng Zhijie, in order to compensate for the debt to his son, Lao Cheng took the two of them to play in Chang'an, but he didn't expect to be hit on the street.

Moreover, this person's strength is very strong, and his skeleton is also hard, which makes Lao Cheng's arm ache faintly. Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was fine, and said, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous." Just because there is something in my heart, I didn't find the elderly, please forgive me. ”

Before Cheng Zhijie could speak, Qin Huaiyu and the others had already surrounded him and bowed down and said, "See uncle (master)!" ”

"Oh! A few of you are also here, why do you sign up and think you are nine out of ten? Be careful that you can't get through, I won't leave you a back door. ”

"How can it? If you can't even pass the introductory test, we're not following you in vain. ”

Xue Li only understood at this time, feeling that the person he bumped into was still the leader of a military academy, and he said that this was his only chance, so he quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Boy Xue Li, kowtow to the eldest master, please be merciful to the eldest master, let them accept me!" ”

Cheng Zhijie was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to pull Xue Li up, and said, "What's going on?" Get up and speak. ”

Wang Xuance said: "Master, just now we mistook him for asking for food, but we didn't know that he was indeed a cadet who came to apply for the military academy. ”

"Since you are applying for a military school, why don't they accept you?"

"Villain, villain is not old enough, in fact, I am 1 year old. And I have a lot of strength, not at all worse than an adult. ”

Cheng Zhijie sighed and said: "I can't do it if you are not old enough, wait another year!" I welcome you back next year. ”

Xue Li's face darkened, and he bowed his head and said nothing; Cheng Zhijie still wanted to persuade him again; Suddenly remembered that he had just reported his name as Xue Li. Lao Cheng shuddered in his heart and asked, "Your name is Xue Li?" Where are you? ”

Xue Li saw that there was still a turning point, and hurriedly said: "Back to the adult, the villain is Xue Li, who lives in Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi. ”

Cheng Zhijie's heart set off a wave of rivers and waves for a while, this is the white-robed general Xue Li Xue Rengui! is the old generation of generals of the Tang Dynasty, the first general of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't expect to stand in front of him alive now.

Cheng Zhijie's words immediately changed and said: "Xue Li, I tried your strength just now, it is indeed extraordinary. But I can't break the rules of my military academy just because of that. ”

Xue Li thought that there was a turnaround when he heard it, but after listening to his words, he lowered his head again. I heard Cheng Zhijie continue: "However, I am still willing to give you a chance." Xue Li, I'm going to recruit you military academy audit students.

During the year, you can listen to classes and study with the official cadets of the military academy, but you will not enjoy their free accommodation, clothing, and other subsidies. You need to earn these by studying and working part-time on your own.

But I give you a promise, by the end of the year, as long as you get into the top 10 of everyone, I will approve you to become an official cadet, of course, if you can't get into the top 10, I will cancel your audit qualification. Do you understand? ”

Xue Li's heart fluttered when he heard this, and he bowed vigorously and said, "Yes!" Be! I understand! Thank you, sir, for your success. ”

Cheng Zhijie glanced at him and said, "Where do you live now?" I'll send you back? Xue Li blushed and muttered, "Lord Hui, my coils have run out, and now I have to sleep on the streets." ”

"Alas, it's hard for you; So be it! You just go back with me and wait until the day of the exam to come with me to the exam. ”

Xue Li's eyes were sour, and he hurriedly thanked him. Cheng Zhijie didn't have the heart to wander around now, and took Xue Li back to his home.

"Xue Li, you haven't eaten yet! Come, bring the food. Don't be polite to me, just eat. ”

Xue Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up the bowl without hesitation, opened his big mouth, and stuffed it into his mouth like a pour. The food on the table slumped down; She ate all the dishes on the table in a short time, and even ate three buckets of white rice.

At this time, everyone in the palace knew that the king of the county had picked up a big belly, and they were all secretly watching from a distance. Cheng Zhijie smiled: "Are you full?" ”

Xue Li blushed and said, "Poor, almost?" Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "How much worse?" We don't have much else in our family, but we never miss a meal. How much more can you eat? ”

Xue Rengui lowered his head and said, "It's almost enough to come here again." ”

"Boom!" The servants hiding in the shadows were in a mess, is this guy a starving ghost reincarnated? Is this too edible?

Lao Cheng touched his beard like steel needles and said, "Okay!" Come on, keep the meal! Xue Li, don't be embarrassed, you can only have strength if you can eat, and the strength you can eat reminds me of when I was a child.

Back then, my mother was also worried about feeding me every day, but no matter how hard and tired she was, she desperately wanted to get back a little more food for me to eat. That's why I can grow strong and sturdy and contribute to the country. It's not a bad thing to be able to eat, even if you eat, I can eat as much as you want. ”

Xue Li's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and began to eat and drink.

Finally, when Xue Li finished eating, Cheng Zhijie asked people to remove the cups and plates, and asked some more about Xue Li's home. Then he took Xue Li to the martial arts training ground, he pointed to the blade on the weapon rack and said, "Come, let me see your skills." ”

Xue Li was also not polite, he picked up a Fang Tian painting halberd from the blade shelf, and checked it in his hand, but it was a little light.

Cheng Zhijie saw what Xue Li meant and smiled: "It's really extraordinary." These blades are all used by the disciples to practice martial arts. This painting halberd also weighs 81 kilograms, which is terrible in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not enough for Xue Li.

However, I like to collect blades the most, you come with me, and I'll take you to see my collection. ”

When Xue Li heard this, he hurriedly followed Cheng Zhijie to the backyard, and Lao Cheng asked him to open the door of the armory, which was very dry and cool.

There are several weapon racks in the room, and all kinds of blades are placed on the shelves, each of these blades is cold and shining, and the air conditioning is overwhelming, and you can see that the owner often comes to wipe and maintain it.

"How about a look? This is when I was in Liangshan, and every time Qi Wuxing made a good fight, he would give me a set of eighteen blades. They have been following me from Shandong here for more than ten years. ”

Xue Li's eyes were glazed, and he rushed up to pick up a Fang Tian Painting Halberd, this halberd weighed 108 catties, which was just right for him to use now.

Cheng Zhijie saw the halberd he chose and smiled: "Yes, you have some vision!" This euphorbia is made of a hundred calcines, although it is not the best in it, it is also considered a high-quality product. Let's go, let's go out, you practice twice and I'll see. ”

Xue Li agreed, took the halberd and Cheng Zhijie to the front again; At this time, Cui Yu and the others also heard the news, and they all wanted to see this big-bellied martial arts.

Lao Chengyi frowned and said, "Cuiyun, Sixin, Erya, the three of you are pregnant now, pay attention to your body, hurry back and don't catch a cold." ”

Dongfang Yumei said with a big grin: "You have been bitten by a snake for one year, and you are afraid of the well rope for ten years." What weather is it now, it's okay! Cool off for a while, and I'll send your darlings back. ”

Cheng Zhijie had no way to let them sit down, Xue Li punched at Lao Cheng, and the halberd in his hand danced violently. His ancestor was a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he had his own set of family heirloom halberd methods; This Xue Rengui has loved martial arts since he was a child, and a halberd dance flies up and down, which is very good-looking.

When he finished his move, his face was slightly rosy. Xue Li hugged his fists and said, "Please give me advice!" ”

Cheng Zhijie said silently for a while: "It's okay, the foundation is good." ”

Xue Li was stunned, and he was a little unconvinced in his heart, but in the face of his benefactor, he didn't argue.

Cheng Zhijie stepped forward to take his halberd and said: "To be honest, I don't know much about halberds, but everything is the same. How to save the most effort, the best and most effective killing is the enemy is the most suitable. ”

Saying that, the halberd in Lao Cheng's hand stabbed forward suddenly, this time like a lightning bolt that pierced the sky, although it was just a simple stab, Xue Li's hairs stood up.

Cheng Zhijie's halberd dancing hooks, pecks, stabs, and cutting moves all carried great power, and Xue Li changed color when he saw it, but he was fascinated.

As soon as Cheng Zhijie received the move, Xue Li hurriedly said: "My lord, please accept Xue Li as an apprentice, Xue Li is willing to learn the halberd method with you." ”

Lao Cheng shook his head, handed the halberd to Xue Li and said: "Forget it, I really don't know much about the halberd method, tomorrow I will take you to meet someone, this person's martial arts are better than mine, and he is proficient in all eighteen blades." Whether or not you can get his approval depends on your creation. By the way, this halberd will be given to you, I hope you don't insult him. ”
