It was already late at night, the whole Luoyang City was quiet, there was silence around the shops, everyone in the room was already asleep, snoring one after another, but Zhang Xuan couldn't sleep, he was still thinking about today's conversation with Pei Ju.

He had to admit that he was thinking about things too simply, or that he underestimated Yang Guang, Yang Guang had been paying attention to the battle situation in Qingzhou, and had inserted Pei Renji into it early, and when Zhang Xutuo had just swept away the bandits in Qingzhou, Yang Guang immediately changed generals, and never let the general have local military power for too long.

Zhang Xuan can even be sure that this is Pei Ju's plan for Yang Guang, otherwise it would not be Pei Renji who will be the deputy general.

Pei Ju is right, as long as he Zhang Xuan doesn't show his head, as long as he doesn't fight for the position of the main general, then Yang Guang can't think about himself for the time being, there are still two years to go before the great cause of thirteen years, all the forces hidden behind it broke out in that year, everyone is a smart person, why does he Zhang Xuan want to be a bird?

Zhang Xuan's heart was so confused that he couldn't sleep, so he turned over and sat up, put on a robe, and quietly walked downstairs.

The courtyard was sprinkled with silver moonlight, which was exceptionally quiet, and there was still light in the stable on the other side, and there was a faint sound of talking.

Zhang Xuan walked over slowly, and through the gap, Wu Gangzheng, who was the horseman, was carefully chopping the forage, mixing the cooked black beans into the forage, and Qin Yong was squatting next to him, watching Wu Gang prepare the forage with his cheeks engrossedly, and said a few words to him from time to time.

"Childe, horses and people are actually the same, if you have feelings, the war horse will not reject you, you feel that your horse doesn't like you, because it hasn't treated you as a brother yet."

"But I think of him as a brother."

"Childe, that's not enough, I think the main thing is that you stay with it for too short a time, you have to be with it every day, even sleep together, and the war horse will like you soon."

"How long will it take? I'm going to go to the Hero Club soon, and I'm worried about what if. ”

"According to the method I gave to Childe, one month is enough."

"Then I'll sleep here tonight."

"Huh! Childe is in a hurry, let's do it tomorrow! Actually, you don't have to sleep here, I'll help my son prepare. ”

Jang Hyun smiled and shook his head. Turning around and walking back to the courtyard, he sat on the edge of the well and looked up at the bright crescent moon, thinking about his thoughts in a daze.

"Hasn't the second uncle slept yet?" Qin Yong appeared behind him.

"I can't sleep a little."

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "Isn't that war horse still applicable?" ”

Qin Yong scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I feel like it's a little disobedient." Sometimes I let him go, but he doesn't go, and sometimes he doesn't, but it walks on its own, which makes me very annoyed. ”

Qin Yong sat next to Zhang Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Was the second uncle's war horse like this at first?" ”

"It's a little bit. Wu Gang is right, the horse has feelings, and if you have a deep relationship with it, it will naturally listen to you, in fact, you don't have to worry, take your time! ”

"I'm afraid that it will affect the Heroes Club, so I'm a little anxious."

Zhang Xuan liked this honest boy very much, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Do you also want to be a general?" ”

"Actually, I don't want to, but my dad thinks, and I know he's worried that he won't be in the top 20. I just want to take the general and give it to my father. ”

"Qiaolang, where is your hometown?"

Qin Yong knew what Zhang Xuan meant, he shook his head and said gloomily: "I am actually my father's nephew, my parents died when I was very young, they entrusted me to my father, my father regarded me as his own, and I also regarded him as his biological father." ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Qin Yong was Qin Qiong's nephew, no wonder their relationship was so natural, not at all like a stepfather and son.

"Is your martial arts also taught by your father?"

"Hmm!"

Qin Yong nodded. "I started practicing martial arts at the age of six, and I started practicing hammer at the age of ten.

Zhang Xuan smiled: "You don't say that I really didn't see it." ”

Qin Yong lowered his head again. "Second uncle, Yuan Qing always laughed at my hammer technique for not having momentum, why is this?"

"Really? When will I compete with you? ”

"Nope! No! ”

Qin Yong hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not the opponent of the second uncle. ”

"It's okay, learn a lot from the masters, so that you can improve your martial arts. Do you know why Yuan Qing said that your hammer technique is not imposing? It's because you can't let go, a manly man must dare to act, this you have to learn more from Luo Shixin, his overlord gun is not in marksmanship, but in momentum, his character will dare to do it, if you annoy him, even if the other party is the king of heaven Lao Tzu, he is not afraid, you should be the same, as long as you are in a cheerful mood, your hammer will naturally open and close, and the momentum will be completely different. ”

Qin Yong listened to it as if he was drunk, he suddenly felt that he had a little understanding, Zhang Xuan patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "I also went to sleep, the eldest husband went with the flow, what did he do so much?" ”

He himself suddenly became enlightened, he persuaded Qin Yong to let go a little, why didn't he himself tie his hands and feet the same, thinking about the east and west, what was he afraid of? Come when you should come, just deal with it calmly, why bother with gains and losses.

He threw up his head and laughed, and hurried back to his room to sleep

Early the next morning, everyone went to the military department to sign up, the registration point was not in the imperial city, but in the south camp outside the city, the camp was crowded with people, but in fact the number was less than 1,000 people, this is because everyone was burly, domineering, and led the war horse, holding weapons, it seemed to be very aura.

There are two points in the registration office, each point is planted with a big flag, the left flag is written on the official, the right flag is written on the people, the registration process is relatively simple, each person fills out a form, write down the name of the official, the weapons and weight used, and does not need on-site testing, generally will be tested during the retest, if there is fraud, it will be immediately deprived of the qualification to participate in the retest, which to some extent also creates conditions for some powerful children to directly participate in the retest.

Everyone had filled out the form in advance, and You Junda went to sign up for them, while everyone stood on the side and waited.

In contrast, the number of official registration offices is small, only a few dozen, and the rest of the hundreds are civilian warriors.

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "I thought that the number of civil martial artists would not be too many, but now it seems that the opposite is true, the number of civil martial artists is far more than that of officials, what is the reason for this?" ”

Luo Shixin pursed his lips disdainfully, "Aren't these people scolding the court for being dark?" Why didn't I see the scolding when I signed up? It's weird! ”

Qin Qiong next to him explained with a smile: "This is for fame, everyone hopes to be famous, become a famous general in the world, establish personal fame, and take the official path is undoubtedly the most convenient, so scolding is scolding, but when it comes to personal interests, it will never be ambiguous, it is estimated that there are still many bandit leaders in it." ”

Speaking of the bandit leader, Zhang Xuan's heart couldn't help but move, will Lu Mingyue come to sign up? If you meet Lu Mingyue, you have to settle old accounts with him.

He secretly patrolled to both sides, looking for Lu Mingyue's figure, and at this moment, someone behind him asked, "This son, can you ask for advice." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw a young warrior standing behind him, dressed in a samurai robe, wearing a long feather gold crown, tall and handsome, but there was a bit of evil in the handsomeness, he was holding a strong war horse, carrying a gold-backed tiger tooth knife, a condor bow on his back, and a pot of golden feather arrows.

Zhang Xuan suddenly had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "What questions does this son have?" ”

The young man looked at everyone and asked hesitantly, "Why don't you bring weapons?" Didn't you say that 100 special warriors were selected according to the weight of the weapon? How can you get it if you don't bring weapons? ”

"This is to fill in by yourself, how much is how much, you have to test it during the retest, if you cheat, you will be disqualified directly."

"I see, I don't know!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Did the son just come to Luoyang?" ”

"I just came from Guanzhong, and I haven't had time to enter the city yet."

"In Xiaqi County Zhang Xuan, may I ask your son's surname?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

The young man was in awe, "It turns out that Your Excellency is the famous General Zhang, and he is disrespectful, and he is in Xia Jingzhao Su Lie." ”

"You are Su Dingfang?" Zhang Xuan looked at him in surprise, it turned out that this young man was the famous general Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang's face flushed, but there was a bit of joy in his eyes, "General Zhang has also heard of me?" ”

"Why don't I know, the famous family of the Su family, the son of Dingfang, has been admired for a long time."

Su Dingfang is the grandson of Su Wei of Xiangguo, the Su family, like the Wei family, is a famous family in Guanzhong, Zhang Xuan smiled again: "Su Gongzi go quickly!" Otherwise, it won't be too late to sign up in the morning, so let's have a drink when we have time. ”

"Definitely, definitely! General Zhang came to Anpingfang Su Mansion to find me when he was free, and it was a pleasure to meet General Zhang. ”

Su Dingfang saluted, handed over the war horse and weapons to Ma Tong, and went to sign up first, at this time, Luo Shixin slowly stepped forward and praised: "This Su Lie is a talent, seeing that he has a long hand, he must be a master of bows and arrows, I really want to make friends."

Zhang Xuan knocked him and scolded with a smile: "Although you stinky boy don't have long hands, your ears are not short, and you hear everything." ”

Everyone burst out laughing. (To be continued.) )
