- Satsuki

In the Balanced Martial Arts Hall, He Zhouzi was training his disciples to meditate and meditate.

After a while, He Zhouzi said: "Now that you open your eyes, the day after tomorrow is the time for the martial arts exam, whether it is the art of war or cavalry archery, the most important thing is to concentrate, remember?" You're going to compete with each other, but remember, your worst enemy is yourselves? Do you understand? ”

"Yes, master, understood."

After the training, Jing Han found He Zhouzi alone and said, "Master, I want to win the first place in this exam." ”

"You have the strength, but pride is not good for you."

"If I can get the top prize, I have a request, and I hope the master will grant me."

"What request?"

"I'll bring it up to you when I get the top prize."

Miss Ren was at home, and her fingers were pricked by a needle as a female worker.

"Miss, I should have stopped you."

"Satsuki?"

"You're here sighing as if it's the end of the world. I didn't tell you, there is no way for him to prove his innocence before the exam, and once those sea fishing documents come out, there is almost no chance of clarifying the innocent. ”

"No, you're wrong. He will surely clarify his innocence and take the exam. ”

"There's no hope for you." As he spoke, Satsuki snatched the robe and began to fold it.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to take him to another martial artist who can take the exam."

"Satsuki!"

"You're just going to get worse the more you look at it."

With that, Xiao Yue picked up her robe and ran out, just when she met Jing Han.

Xiao Yue said, "Li Gongzi, I have something for you." My young lady wants you to accept this. ”

"What is this?"

"My young lady made it herself, I hope you can wear it to take the martial arts exam. Hopefully you'll get the first place. ”

Ren Rail eats at a tea stall on the road.

There were two foreign martial artists passing by, and Wu Shengjia said: "We must speed up our pace as soon as possible and reach Luoyang." ”

Wu Shengyi continued: "Well, we have been preparing for six years, and this time we must stand out in the martial arts exam." I know that I have failed twice and I can't look my parents in the eye anymore. Once we're rested, let's go. ”

Straight heart walked along Luoshui and met an old man.

Zhixin said, "Old man, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Yes."

"Can you tell me how Mr. Gao Shilian's house is going?"

"Do you have anything to do with Gao Shilian?"

"Actually, I'm not sure if there's anything to find Mr. Gao."

Zhixin saw clearly that the old man was not too old, but his back was a little hunched, and his hair was much grayer, and he was only about forty years old, and he said, "You seem to have walked a long way, sit down and rest." ”

"Okay."

"Would you like something to eat, I've got some dry food here."

"Thank you, uncle."

The middle-aged man pulled up the fishing rod. There was no bait on it, so he looked at it and threw the rod out again.

"Uncle, you seem to have forgotten to put the bait."

"I don't have bait, so fishing doesn't have to be just fishing."

"In ancient times, Jiang Taigong was fishing with the mentality of fishing the world, what purpose do you fish?"

"You said you came to find Gao Shilian?"

"Yes."

"Let's go, I'll take you."

"Don't bother you, if you know, just show the way."

"Let's go, I'll live there."

"So you're Mr. Jirero Taka?"

"Ha, hehe, the old man is just a grass farmer now."

Gao Shilian was once the governor of the Sui Dynasty, but he was demoted to Zhu Yuan's master book for repeatedly criticizing the government and impeaching corrupt officials. Lao Gao was angry, and abandoned his official position and went into hiding.

The day of the martial arts examination has arrived, and on the martial arts arena outside Luoyang City, flags are waving, thousands of horses are neighing, and people are boiling.

Wang Shichong also led 30,000 elite soldiers to press the formation, he divided the 30,000 troops under his command into left, center, and right three roads, each road 100 lines, each line 100 people, each arranged into a phalanx, he personally held high the halberd, with the tiger, wolf, bear as the banner, commanding the Chinese army to advance. All the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army are wearing white robes, wearing white armor, waving white flags, and planting white arrows. The 10,000 soldiers of the left army all wore red robes, red armor, red flags, and red arrows, looking like a raging fire; The right army was all black, like a dark cloud. The three-way army drove to the vicinity of the meeting place and set up a formation. As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Shichong personally sounded the gold drum and gave the order, and 30,000 people shouted loudly together, the sound was like the sky was cracking, which alarmed all the candidates who attended the meeting.

Under the rule of Yang Guang, the Great Sui made three expeditions to Goguryeo and failed; Northern attack on the Turks, defeat; Suppress peasant uprisings from all walks of life, and defeat more than victory. But all the candidates who participated in the martial arts examination today still saw the style and high morale of the iron army from the army under the command of Wang Shichong.

In the assessment and competition of bows, horses, steps, fists and feet, weapons, etc., Jing Han ranked first, and Wu Yapeng's performance was not bad, closely following Jing Han, ranking second.

In Ren's house, Miss Ren is concentrating on being a female celebrity. The maid Xiaoyue happily ran into the house and said, "Miss, Miss, have you heard?" ”

"What did you hear?"

"Li Jinghan's son has won the first place in Wuke."

"Oh."

"Don't you have anything else to say besides that? Uncle Shi's disciple won the first place, aren't you happy? ”

"I think Liu Renliang knows that today is the day of the martial arts exam, and he must be very sad in his heart."

"Miss. I told you, don't think about Liu Gongzi anymore. ”

In the Balanced Martial Arts Hall, He Zhouzi was very happy, because Li Jinghan won the champion, Wu Yapeng and Gao Fei won the second and third places respectively, and the other disciples also passed the exam.

"Good, good, everybody's doing well, I'm happy." Lao He Dao.

"It's all thanks to the master's careful guidance and teachings." Jing Han said.

"Yes, we couldn't have succeeded without the help of our master." Xiao Wu Dao.

"No, it's mainly because you've made a lot of efforts on your own, and I hope you can all maintain this enthusiasm in the future."

"Yes, master, we will take it to heart." The disciples replied.

"Okay, okay, we'll get drunk tonight." Lao He looked at everyone and smiled happily.

In the evening, Jing Han found He Zhouzi alone, because he had said before that if he could get the champion, he would make a request to Lao He.

"Master, I want to marry Ren Jiaoxu, the eldest lady of Ren Shilang, as my wife, and I hope that the master can be a matchmaker for me."

"Hey, I didn't know you liked my niece Jiaoxu."

"I know I'm not good enough, but I'm going to protect and love her wholeheartedly."

"Okay, I'll try it for you, you can also follow me to Ren's mansion, when I talk to Senior Brother Ren, you can go and meet my senior niece."

"Yes, master."

The two came to Ren's mansion, and Lao He and Lao Ren went to the study to talk. Jing Han walked towards Miss Ren's side courtyard, and when he walked outside the house, he heard Miss and the maid talking.

"But there are no butterflies or bees in this painting."

"So he knew that the flower had no fragrance."

Historical figures: Gao Shilian took his sister Gao home due to the death of his brother-in-law Sun Sheng, and treated his nephew Sun Wuji and niece Sun Sun with kindness. Later, Gao Shilian found that Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin was talented, so he married his niece Changsun to him, which was later Li Shimin's virtuous queen - Empress Wende. And Lao Gao later became the founding prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and together with his nephew Sun Wuji, he was ranked among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. The eldest grandson, Wuji, ranks first among the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
