Sitting in the carriage, seeing Chu Haoyu's calm face and pretending to be a little adult, Guo Zhenxing couldn't help but shake his head. Such a beautiful trick is the child who is only fifteen or sixteen came up with it, it seems that the rumored naughty and playful must be true, but who has such a naughty child, I want to have a headache! Thinking of this, Guo Zhenxing actually laughed.

Seeing Guo Zhenxing laughing, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Old Guo, what are you laughing at?" ”

Shaking his head again, Guo Zhenxing opened his mouth and said: "Childe's trick is very beautiful. ”

With a light snort, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "When I was a child, I often borrowed this trick to get out of the palace. ”

Suddenly, Guo Zhenxing couldn't help laughing anymore, as for Chu Zheng, who was driving the car, he wanted to laugh but had to pretend to have a bitter face.

Looking at Guo Zhenxing, Chu Haoyu suddenly asked, "Old Guo, do you know why this trick can always deceive people?" ”

When Chu Haoyu's words fell, the smile on Guo Zhenxing's face instantly stopped, and he thought for a moment before he spoke: "Because you are a child." ”

Chu Haoyu nodded and shook his head, "Because you all like to think too much." At the end of the words, Guo Zhenxing fell into deep thought, but Chu Haoyu suddenly laughed. In the laughter, Chu Haoyu continued: "It's true to say that you like to think more. Uncle Zheng, how long does it take to get to the dock. ”

Hehe laughed, and Chu Zheng shouted, "It's almost there, young master." ”

"It's almost there again." With a dissatisfied mutter, Chu Haoyu lifted the curtain and looked out of the car.

The carriage was firmly guarded in the middle by the Eagle Guard, and at this moment, the Eagle Guard had already removed his turban, and he was dressed in a black power suit and a tall war horse, and at a glance he knew that he was a division of a hundred battles. The group was on the road that was not wide, and everyone looked sideways, and some people were timid and afraid of things, and they avoided it from afar.

After observing for a while, an interesting look appeared in Chu Haoyu's eyes, and he asked, "Uncle Zheng, are the Tianwei all selected from the military department?" ”

Although Chu Zheng couldn't guess what Chu Haoyu wanted to ask, he replied casually: "It's not ......."

Before Chu Zheng could finish speaking, Chu Haoyu had already interrupted him and shouted, "Isn't it?" Their horses clearly stepped on one point, and at first glance they were from the military. ”

Chu Zheng waved his horsewhip helplessly, and said at the same time: "Young master, you listen to me." There are all kinds of people in Tianwei, three religions and nine streams, among them, most of the Dragon Guards and Eagle Guards are from the rivers and lakes, and only the Tiger Guards are selected from the military department. ”

Hearing Chu Zheng say this, Chu Haoyu nodded to show that he understood, but unfortunately Chu Zheng couldn't see it outside the carriage at all.

Thinking that Chu Haoyu was not satisfied, Chu Zheng continued: "The fourth brother sent someone to protect the young master, and he must pick some people from the tiger guard. Because most of the tiger guards were born in the military and were proficient in the art of battle array combination. Although the martial arts of the Jianghu people are high, as long as they enter the military formation, they will die and not live. ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu looking at himself, Guo Zhenxing nodded and said: "What General Chu said is that the people of the rivers and lakes value martial arts, but no matter how good the kung fu is, it is insignificant among the thousands of troops. ”

Nodding again, Chu Haoyu still had doubts, and asked, "Uncle Zheng, isn't Lord Li still going to investigate the Heavenly Thorn, is there anyone else?" ”

Chu Zheng laughed and said, "Li Xiaozi has always been mysterious, and there must be someone hiding it." ”

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Chu Haoyu suddenly remembered Li Shixin's words just now, and shouted, "What about Lord Li? ”

As the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard, Li Shixin doesn't like to show his head, at this moment, Li Shixin is hanging far behind the horse team, thinking about whether there are still loopholes in this trick. Suddenly, seeing Eagle Guard's summons, Li Shixin immediately caught up.

Walking to the side of the carriage, Li Shixin opened his mouth and said, "Seventh Prince, are you looking for a humble position?" ”

With a light hum, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Li, when you were at the Qingshan Inn just now, what did you mean by the martial arts test?" ”

When Chu Haoyu's words fell, the carriage suddenly fell silent, it was Chu Zheng, who was also quite curious and pricked up his ears, waiting for Li Shixin to speak, but Guo Zhenxing said first: "Seventh son, it's about to arrive at the dock, the old man will arrange it first." After finishing speaking, Guo Zhenxing didn't wait for Chu Haoyu's consent and got out of the carriage.

Looking at Guo Zhenxing's back, Chu Haoyu had a hint of enlightenment, and said at the same time: "Master Li, come up and talk about it." ”

"Then the lowly position is presumptuous." As he spoke, Li Shixin had already landed on the carriage, lifted the curtain and walked in. After holding his fists and saluting, Li Shixin sat down cross-legged and said: "At the beginning of the year, my emperor decreed that a martial arts test would be held, regardless of origin or sect, anyone who is not over thirty years old can participate. The top 100 in the martial arts test will be awarded the post of lieutenant in the army, and the top 10 will be the captain. ”

When Li Shixin finished speaking, Chu Haoyu didn't have any expression, but Chu Zheng was shocked, and opened his mouth to ask, "Really?" ”

Hearing the shock in Chu Zheng's words, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Zheng, what's wrong?" ”

Shaking his head, Chu Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Our Great Chu army, ten people are in the team, ten soldiers are in the team, five teams are sentinels, five sentinels are battalions, and five battalions are brigades. Further up, the three brigades are one mansion, and they can be called generals, but most of them are in the border areas. ”

At this moment, Chu Haoyu finally understood why Chu Zheng was shocked, that is, he was also a little surprised. The top 100 in the martial arts test have won the position of captain, and they can already command a sentry and horses, and as for the top 10 captains, they can command a battalion of soldiers and horses, and this reward is almost a step to the sky.

Seeing Chu Haoyu's expression, Li Shixin opened his mouth to explain: "Seventh son, the captain and the captain are more of a false name, only those who are truly capable can lead an army, and this move is more to encourage the world's martial artists to participate in the martial arts test." ”

After a pause, Li Shixin said slowly: "I established the country by force, the first emperor is a generation of grandmasters, has always admired martial arts, and there have been few wars and natural disasters in the past 20 years of the founding of the country, which can be described as the peace of the country and the people, making the folk practice of martial arts stronger, and some Jianghu sects have become more ......."

"Over 10,000?" This time, Chu Haoyu was really a little surprised, and couldn't help but interrupt Li Shixin.

Nodding, Li Shixin opened his mouth and said: "The five major sects of the rivers and lakes, except for the Mobei Fengdao Gate, the Zen Tianlong Temple, the Taoist Wuji Temple, the Zhongzhou Tibetan Sword Villa and the mysterious Demon Sect, each sect has more than 10,000 disciples, and the masters do not know the ordinary, and the influence is not trivial, which is also one of the reasons why His Majesty held the martial arts test." ”

Looking at Li Shixin, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Take the rivers and lakes to open the knife?" ”

Nodding, Li Shixin opened his mouth and said: "Since ancient times, martial arts have been forbidden by chivalry, and the rivers and lakes have been quiet for twenty years, and there are countless masters, even between the mountains and the wilderness, there are also many martial arts practitioners. Such a force, once used by someone with a heart, is extremely difficult to control. Therefore, the saint decided to hold a martial arts test to make these warriors join the army, as for another reason, it is Mobei. ”

Startled again, Chu Haoyu blurted out, "Mobei?" ”

Nodding, Li Shixin opened his mouth and said: "Mobei is barren, since ancient times for my Shenzhou disaster, thirteen years ago, I just established a hundred industries to be prosperous, Mobei Iron Cavalry went south, and finally although it was blocked by our army outside the pass, it was a heavy casualty, and the mountains and seas were dyed bloody. ”

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Shixin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, although our dynasty won a miserable victory, tens of thousands of casualties were inflicted, and the national strength was even more depleted. The first emperor has always regretted this battle, and the Seven Princes couldn't be clearer. ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "I have heard my father talk about this battle, especially Bahel, saying that this person has a superb mind and extraordinary means, and his cultivation has reached the realm of a grandmaster, and he has supreme power in Mobei. My father has always regretted this battle, but what does the martial test have to do with Mobei? ”

Snorted lightly, Li Shixin continued to say just now: "Since Emperor Wu went to the Immortal three years ago, Mobei has repeatedly violated my frontier, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, my emperor endured it again and again, but Mobei was not grateful to Dai De but intensified, and some ignorant rats thought that I was a good bully, and I actually attacked Shanhai Xiongguan last year. ”

Hearing Li Shixin say this, Chu Zheng let out a muffled snort, and although he didn't speak, he waved the horsewhip and made a loud crackling sound.

At this moment, Li Shixin continued: "Although this matter is kept secret, our emperor is very angry and decides to use the power of the country to conquer Mobei and hold a military test, just for the purpose of conscription. In this martial arts test, not only the prestige of the people is increasing, but it has attracted countless heroes from the rivers and lakes, and many disciples of the four major sects have rushed to the capital. ”

After another meal, Li Shixin continued: "Moreover, the military test was jointly organized by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War has ordered all the armies to select warriors to enter Beijing, and the Ministry of Rites has also selected a group of scholars who are both civil and military to participate, plus some children of officials and eunuchs, it is estimated that there are no less than 50,000 people. ”

Staring at Li Shixin, Chu Haoyu's face was full of disbelief, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. With a chuckle, Chu Haoyu said, "Fifty thousand people, this time I have to play." ”

At this moment, Chu Zheng slapped his thigh abruptly and shouted, "I remembered." When I was still in the capital before, I heard the fourth child hear it twice, but later the master suffered a plot, and the matter was over, but I didn't expect the eldest young master to do it. ”

Li Shixin, as the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard, is also a high-ranking authority, so he naturally knows this, and then said just now: "These tens of thousands of people, not only the top 100 will join the army, but then the emperor will issue an order to recruit soldiers, and these masters will be able to become a hundred battles after a winter of training, and set foot in the north of the desert for our emperor." ”
