Time passed in a hurry, and it was the middle of the first month of the third year of the first emperor.

Just after the end of the year, the town on the outskirts of Xianyang City has not yet opened the market, and there are only a few people walking on the streets.

And Guanzhong generally enters spring earlier, and the rain is more sufficient, so the sky is already a little overcast and cold, and after a moment of silence, it falls a continuous light rain, and the raindrops hit the bluestone slab to make a pleasant ticking sound, and the rain drops are small but very dense and wet the ground after a while, and the only few pedestrians are also rushing to both sides of the street to take shelter from the rain at an acquaintance's house.

It's just that at this time, there is only one person walking on the bluestone slab without hurrying, every step he takes is like a big tree that has taken root on the ground, and like a slowly flowing river, calm and smooth, and actually walked out of a charm, that is, the black cloth with a white background under his feet is wet and unconscious, if there is a person who is proficient in martial arts, he can see that this person's martial arts have reached the point of strength and strength, and the inside and outside are compatible.

This person is nearly eight feet tall, his figure is unusually majestic, but his age is only seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyes are bright, he is wearing a black-striped robe and a crown of high Mou skin, he looks both heroic and noble, with a plain and quiet expression on his face, and occasionally the corners of his mouth are upturned to bring out a smile.

However, this person was followed by a pony like a leper dog, drenched like a chicken in soup, very embarrassed, closely following the master, his mouth kept whining, and his big black eyes were full of grievances.

This person is none other than Zhao Jun, it seems a little boring to celebrate the New Year alone, especially looking at the New Year's goods purchased with Mu Ning, he is a little thoughtful, plus he misses Zhao Ling and remembers Lu Pheasant who is still in Pei County, he is in a bad mood, these days he will take the roaring dog to the mountains outside the town to take a walk, but he didn't expect it to rain lightly in the morning.

After this year, it also marks that he has turned eighteen years old, although he is not old, but Zhao Jun has some emotion of inaction, which is quite like Liu Bei's sigh in history.

Of course, these are no wonder Zhao Jun, now there are less than nine years before Qin Shi Huang's violent death, he only mastered some horse bandits in Mobei, and he still has no clue about climbing the big tree of Qin, at most he has some foundation in the Northern Army, plus he has expanded his contacts.

However, these will not help him to fight for hegemony in the troubled times in the future, and he still needs to keep climbing.

Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that the three-year appointment with Lu Pheasant has passed for a year, and Zhao Ling is still nowhere to be found, and he has no power, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return to Pei County, and understand the grievances with Liu Bang and his gang in one fell swoop.

I believe that it is not difficult to get an official position such as a county lieutenant at that time, and it is best to decentralize it to Surabaya County, and when the grievances of Pei County are resolved, you can find a way to transfer Lu Pheasant to the army, and finally take further control of the military power, and you can wait for the great era to come.

After thinking about it, the corners of Zhao Jun's mouth smiled again: "I heard Mu Ning say that this selection is extremely strict, and my strength is so strong that I don't have to worry about not being selected, but I don't know how many powerful people have come this time, and whether I can stand out and smoothly join this counterattack against the remnants of the Six Nations." ”

When he returned to his residence that day, Zhao Jun began to cultivate his energy, because the next day was the time for the assessment and selection, although he didn't have to worry about it, he was prepared.

The place of selection and assessment is in a valley ten miles north of the suburban town, which is full of people early in the morning, a full four hundred strong men of different clothes, and the valley is also full of armor soldiers of the Du Wei Army, including the loess road north of the valley exit, which is also ten steps and one person is full of armor, as if it is leading to another place.

And the people who came to participate in the assessment in the valley gathered in twos and threes at this time, standing or doing, and whispering about various topics.

"Have you heard, Your Majesty will also be present to watch today's assessment."

"Naturally, but it shouldn't be here, this is just the starting place, I heard that it was selected according to the standards of the Iron Eagle Sharps, I think the emperor should be in the back."

"Great, if you can get Your Majesty's appreciation when you are in a martial arts, then it won't be a step to the sky?"

"Hmph, it's up to you?"

"What, not convinced?"

The four hundred people who came to participate in the assessment were all the top-notch elites selected by the armies from all over the Great Qin Empire, and they suddenly gathered together, naturally no one obeyed anyone, and friction with each other was inevitable, but because there were guards around them, and they were being selected today, so they were all trying their best to restrain themselves.

Zhao Jun took a cursory look, then stood alone in the valley where no one closed his eyes and recuperated, but he turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions, today he was wearing a black tight suit, and under the leggings was a double-sided mound with a wooden bottom, which looked capable and neat.

"Bell!" At this time, a gong suddenly sounded, shaking the whole valley, and everyone who came to participate in the assessment couldn't help but look up at the top of the valley, and saw several people dressed as officers, standing on a mountain rock with a gong.

I only heard one of the military marquis shouting loudly to the people in the valley: "The following is the assessment is the first level, and it is also the most basic, do you see the exit in the north of the valley, now line up to the exit one by one, don't mess with it or the military law will deal with it, and then each person will receive a set of armor, and finally run forward for me all the time, and when you get to the ground, someone will naturally teach you how to do it." ”

As soon as they heard this Qin Jun's words, everyone who had been gearing up for a long time suddenly couldn't help but start running forward, Zhao Jun glanced at it, and walked unhurriedly towards the north exit of the valley in the middle.

Dare to go to the exit and there is a long queue one by one, there is a soldier at the exit of the valley who is recording and verifying his identity, and at the same time there are a few people standing by the ox cart full of armor, giving armor to those who pass through one by one, but Zhao Jun saw that this armor was a little too bloated, and it was obvious that it had been tampered with.

When it came to Zhao Jun, the soldier who was responsible for recording and verifying his identity shouted without raising his head: "Report your name and voucher." "This step is to record and verify whether it is a Qin person, and the selected person is generally determined first, and then it can be accompanied by a certificate.

"Peixian Zhao Jun." Afterwards, Zhao Jun took out the certificate given by Mu Ning personally, which was a black bamboo piece with a strange seal on it.

After the soldier in charge of recording the record, he went to collect the bamboo chips, but the soldier who received it couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the certificate, and at the same time showed it to the people around him, and looked at Zhao Jun in surprise.

"The one in front can't go yet, don't delay Lao Tzu's time." There was a queue in the back that couldn't wait to open his mouth and scolded.

And the few Qin army armorers who were in charge of recording suddenly turned dark, and they scolded the back when they opened their mouths: "What's the hurry, you all set off together, although you are going to join the Black Ice Platform, but before you pass, be honest with Lao Tzu." ”

Zhao Jun shook his head, it seems that the Black Ice Platform is a little lost, otherwise it would not be such a big thing and not see the people of the Black Ice Platform show up, even if it is handed over to the Lantian Camp for training, but there is no reason not to appear at the beginning of the assessment.

However, those Qin army armor soldiers smiled respectfully at this time, and said politely to Zhao Jun: "Childe, please." ”

Zhao Jun smiled and walked forward, it seems that the Black Ice Platform is not too bad, at least Mu Ning's credentials are still a bit of a deterrent, and even these people in Xianyang City are afraid.

Walking forward, Zhao Jun received a set of armor from the ox cart that fitted well, but it suddenly sank between the hands, Zhao Jun's face tightened, and then he put it on his body with a lot of force, roughly estimated at least more than eighty catties, and then looked around, many people had gathered at the mouth of the valley, and they all put on armor and looked closely at the loess avenue full of armor guards in front of them, and behind the armor soldiers on both sides were grassy slopes and woods, and there were several mountains in the distance.

Looking at the loess avenue in the middle is a little crooked, but it can accommodate three or four people side by side, but I don't know where it leads and how long it is.

After waiting for about two or three subjects, all the talents gathered at the exit, and put on this layer of armor that weighed more than eighty catties, but the face was also not good-looking, this armor was too heavy, and I didn't know how long it would take to arrive.

Of course, this is actually the first item in the assessment of Iron Eagle Ruishi, the physical level.

Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu to hold a spear in his hand, carry 20 long arrows and an iron-tired hard bow, and carry three days of military food at the same time, with a total weight of about 50 catties. The formation of the selection of the Iron Eagle Warrior Sima Cuo, is to add a full suit of armor, a broad-body short sword, a fine iron dagger and a cowhide shield, the total weight is about more than 80, this level passed, can enter a variety of martial arts, and finally all qualified is the Iron Eagle Warrior.

"Run!"

Under the order of the Qin army, more than 400 people rushed to the north, and suddenly brought up a burst of smoke and dust on the loess avenue, which filled the air for a long time, making everyone discouraged, but the competition was extremely fierce.

It's just that Zhao Jun is not in a hurry, he runs in the middle unhurriedly, neither to catch up with others nor to fall behind, according to the skills of the army's weight-bearing cross-country long-distance running in the previous life, three steps and one breath remain gentle, and his arms are not in a hurry, he is saying, these things are just pediatrics for him, and it is common to run cross-country mountain roads in the army in the previous life, and it is much stricter than this.

However, he is not the only smart person, there are also people who know the process or see the clues and quietly save their physical strength, and now they don't know how long they will run, and there is no time limit, or what will happen next, so they naturally don't want to be the first bird.

"Brother, you're doing a good job." At this time, a young man in his twenties with a white appearance and a mustache on his chin approached Zhao Jundao.

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that this person's eyebrows were straight, his eyes were indeed extraordinary, and he ran quite steadily, although he was not as good as Zhao Jun, he was top-notch among the same people.

"You're good, too." Zhao Jun said lightly without looking back, and it was most taboo to speak during running.

However, the man looked at Zhao Jun again and said with a smile: "Just now I saw those Qin Jun asking your name, your name is Zhao Jun, right, my name is Li You, I hope to take care of it in the following assessment." ”

Zhao Jun glanced back at him, then nodded, Li You smiled and knew that Zhao Jun recognized him, but it was obvious that Zhao Jun didn't want to talk more, so he also kept silent, and then followed Zhao Jun closely.

As everyone knows, now Zhao Jun's heart is surprised.

Historically, Li You was a native of Shangcai and the son of Qin Prime Minister Li Si. Served as the county guard of Sanchuan, and later the world was in turmoil all over the anti-Qin rebel army, Wu Guangtong led the rebel army, won many battles, prepared to conquer Sanchuan County, and directly took Xianyang, but when the rebel army attacked Xingyang, it encountered the stubborn resistance of the Qin army under Li Yousuo, and as a result, Xingyang could not be attacked for a long time, forming a stalemate state, which made the rebel army suffer a lot, and at the same time accelerated the division within the rebel army.

It was not until later that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu commanded the Chu army to attack Yongqiu, and the fierce battle lasted for more than a month before defeating the Qin army, and Li You also died in the city and was beheaded by Cao Shen.
