Chapter 114: Performing Martial Arts (2)

Yanwu Academy is located in the middle of Xuanwu Street, and the street on the right side of the gate is already overcrowded, bustling with students preparing to enter the entrance exam. The left side of the gate is a little quieter, and the people who enter Xuanwu Street from the left are all officials or dignitaries who have come to watch the ceremony today.

Fang Xie led the red horse and the arrogant Mo Wash Knife all the way over, but they were not less blinded. The tall red horse, I don't know how many people have been pushed aside. Especially those brocade-clothed boys, they all avoided it for fear that the horse would touch their clothes. Most of the children of the rich gentry came by the family carriage, but the carriage stopped on the side of the road without entering Xuanwu Street. led a horse to the gate of the Yanwu Academy, and only one was solved.

When he was about to walk to the gate, suddenly a noise from the front came into Fang Jie's ears. He followed the sound and looked over to realize that the noise was due to himself. He said secretly, sure enough, there was no accident, and before he entered the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, someone couldn't wait to do something.

A young man in a brocade robe found a professor who was welcoming guests at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, pointed to Fang Xie and complained loudly: "Why are there such people who don't understand the rules, everyone else walks to the Martial Arts Academy to show respect." But that person over there was leading a beast, and what was the Taoist saint who took up the living people's walking? First, this is disrespectful to the Martial Arts Academy! Second, this is disrespectful to you, sir! Sir, I beg you to dispose of that man! ”

Although there were many people, the voice still came clearly into Fang Jie's ears. Zhang Mad looked at him, and said with some concern: "When you are at the street corner, I will advise you to leave the war horse and find someone to take care of it." But you didn't listen, so you had to lead the horse all the way inside. That's good, but if that gentleman really comes to teach you a lesson, it won't be easy to explain. The most worrying thing is to leave a bad impression, in case Mr. Na remembers you, and there is something to be done during the exam......"

"It doesn't matter"

Fang Xie smiled and led the red horse to continue walking.

Because of the shout of the brocade-clothed boy in front, hundreds of pairs of eyes around looked over. Most of the young men in brocade robes gave each other angry or contemptuous looks, but the soldiers from the army did not seem to react. And those border soldiers saw Fang Xie because of the noise, and came over to say hello.

Fang Xie hugged his fists one by one and returned the salute, and the left brother and the right brother shouted very kindly. Most of the border soldiers are rough people, and they are more casual when they have friendships. It was mixed with foul words like this fucking grandma, which made those brocade boys even more disgusted.

A large group of border soldiers surrounded him, and Fang Xie seemed to have become a leader.

The professor who was standing at the door of the Martial Arts Academy to greet the guests squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Jie's side, but his expression did not change at all. He nodded to the accusing brocade boy and said, You go to verify your identity first, and I will deal with it. The brocade-clothed boy looked at Fang Xie and sneered, but did not leave, but stood aside and waited to see the joke.

The professor of the Yanwu Academy, who was wearing a crescent white robe, came to the front of him, glanced at him lightly, and asked, "I am Yan Qing, the professor of the Yanwu Academy, why did you want to lead the horse here?" Just now someone said that your brute is taking the way people should go, which is not good. ”

Fang Xie stood still, and first bowed to the professor.

"Student Fang Jie, I've seen Mr."

"Hmm"

Yan Qing returned the salute with the gift of an elder, and then waited for Fang Xie to answer.

Fang Xie stood up straight, pointed to the red horse beside him, and said seriously, "I'll answer your second question first." If I had just said that the beast I was holding was referring to it, the students would not have agreed. Others don't know what War Horse thinks of students, but in the border city, War Horse is like a student's brother. Every time you inspect the frontier, every time you chase and kill the remnants, every time you investigate the enemy's situation, and every time you transmit military information, you can't do without the war horse. Not only me, but all the brothers in the border army have the same feelings for war horses as they do for their comrades. During the battle, a piece of steamed bread was broken into two pieces, one for the man and one for the horse. ”

"Maybe the man who said that the war horse is a beast, in his eyes, the war horse is indeed just a four-legged beast with a huge difference from a human. Eating forage and being ridden by others is born inferior and does not know how many ways to go. But in the eyes of our border army, every war horse is a brother who lives and dies together, and even supports and protects each other in the sea of swords and blood. If it weren't for the war horse, the students might have died in a certain battle. ”

Fang Xie looked at Yan Qing and said word by word: "If others think that my brother occupies the walking path and are resentful, I will say sorry for my brother." When my brother fought for meritorious service on the battlefield, he always walked the same path with us, and he went wherever people went. It didn't understand the rules of the imperial capital, and it didn't know that after Lu Dao left the battlefield in the border city, it was just a beast, and it was no longer qualified to walk the same path with a two-legged person. ”

When Yan Qing heard this, he glanced at Fang Xie with deep meaning. Then he looked back at the boy in brocade with a somewhat ugly face and asked, "What do you think of his explanation?" He apologized like that, can you accept it? ”

"I ......"

The brocade-clothed boy opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Mad glanced at the man, leaned close to Fang Xie and whispered: "This person's name is Bi Yuntao, a native of Jiangnan." Privately had a good relationship with Wang Ding and their people, and he was not present at Keshengju that day, but he must have known what happened in Lu Dao, and it is estimated that he is deliberately targeting you. ”

Fang Xie nodded and smiled, "That's a good name." ”

Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think there was anything brilliant about this name.

Bi Yuntao's face turned a little red, and he hesitated for a while and said to Yan Qing: "You can not say this matter, but it is disrespectful to the Yanwu Academy, disrespectful to the imperial court, and disrespectful to Mr., I just want to take care of it, I have to ask!" ”

Yan Qing nodded, looked at Fang Xie and asked, "Now it's time for you to answer my first question, why do you want to lead your war horse?" ”

Fang explained: "I heard that there is a riding and archery competition in the martial arts examination of the Martial Arts Academy, so I led my horse. May I ask sir, can the Martial Arts Academy have such a rule, the horses used for riding and archery can only use the horses of the Martial Arts Academy and not their own horses? ”

"Nonsense!"

Bi Yuntao said loudly: "After being admitted to the Yanwu Academy, you still have to live here, the house is the house of the Yanwu Academy, can you carry your own house, and then ask Mr. Can't you live in your own house?" ”

……

……

Fang Xie glanced at Bi Yuntao lightly, and didn't seem to even bother to answer. He clenched his fists to Yan Qing and leaned over and said, "Please sir." ”

Yan Qing smiled and said: "According to the convention, the students who come to the Martial Arts Academy to take the exam use the horses of the Acting Martial Arts Academy when they ride and shoot in the competition. No one had ever come with their own horses before, and no one had ever asked me such a question. The first is because war horses are a scarce thing in our Great Sui, and the second is ...... The war horses raised in the Yanwu Academy seem to be better than the war horses of the soldiers in the army. ”

Hearing this, Bi Yuntao couldn't help but sneer.

Yan Qing paused and continued: "However, there is no explicit rule in the Martial Arts Academy that candidates cannot ride their own horses during the riding and archery competition. If the candidate is willing, even if it is a bull ride, it seems to be nothing. The martial arts academy is the place where the rules are the most important, and if there are rules, you must follow them. But since it is not written in the article...... I guess it's okay. ”

"Thank you!"

Fang Xie bowed deeply.

Bi Yuntao's face instantly became ugly, his fists were clenched, and his muscles were exposed. He didn't dare to target the professor of the Martial Arts Academy, so he could only stare at Fang Xie fiercely.

Yan Qing waved his hand and continued: "Don't thank me, I just follow the rules of the Martial Arts Academy." But...... Someone said before that you were disrespectful to the Yanwu Academy by the horse, as a professor of the Yanwu Academy, I think it is necessary to ask you, are you really disrespectful to the Yanwu Academy in your heart? ”

Fang Xie straightened up and said loudly: "The students have made twenty-one military exploits in the border city, one of which is because of their loyalty to His Majesty and to the Great Sui. The second is because of the yearning and respect for the Academy in the hearts of students. If it weren't for these two beliefs that sustained the students, the students would not have fought bloodily, and naturally they would not have traveled thousands of miles from the frontier. ”

After saying this, the border soldiers present couldn't help but clap their hands: "That's good!" ”

Fang Xie said seriously: "Respect lies in the heart and not in the tongue, and there is no one in this world who speaks awe in his mouth but curses viciously in his heart." ”

Bi Yuntao's face turned pale, and he pointed at Fang Xie and asked loudly, "Who are you talking about!" ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Who am I talking about, I have no obligation to tell you." If I'm in a good mood, I won't say it, if I'm in a bad mood, I won't say it, can you take care of it? Other than that...... You blocked the way to the door, is this disrespectful to the Martial Arts Academy? Just now, Mr. asked you to go in the door to verify your identity, but you stood here and didn't leave, is it disrespectful to Mr.? Other than that...... You should be glad that you are a citizen of the Great Sui. Because in the border city, the enemies who dared to point at the nose of our border army and speak were chopped into mud by us. ”

Bi Yuntao's body trembled violently, and if the hand pointing at Fang Xie was put down, it seemed to be cowardly, but if he continued to point, he would lose his momentum.

Yan Qing glanced at Fang Xie with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's all go in, there are professors who specialize in verifying their identities." If you block the door again, the students in the back can't get in and miss the time of the exam, and you can't afford it. ”

"Obedience"

Fang Xie bowed in response, and then led the horse forward. When he arrived at the door, he looked at Bi Yuntao, who was already red-faced, and asked politely, "Can you give way?" My horse and I are going in. ”

Bi Yuntao's angry hands kept shaking, and he glared at Fang Xie with resentment and walked away. Zhang Mad followed the pace of Shang Jie, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of causing any trouble for yourself?" ”

Fang Xie shook his head helplessly and said: "Even if I kneel down to apologize and beg for mercy to him, or even crawl down and lick - his boots say I was wrong, and then turn around and repent to everyone, do you think I will have less trouble today?" ”

……

……

On the left side of the gate of the Martial Arts Temple

There were a few people standing next to a carriage, they were talking and laughing or something, but the noise on the other side attracted their attention, and they watched the scene over there turn from noise to calm. One of the men wearing a purple official uniform and a beam crown couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is that young border soldier?" What a sharp mouth. ”

"That little guy is a hot person now, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Niu Huilun and Shuhua Pavilion University scholar Zhuang Chuyu fought a lot in order to grab him. Yesterday, when His Majesty left a few of us old bones to eat together in Changchun Garden, the two of them were still scrambling. As a result, Dean Zhou was held back by a word, and Dean Zhou said...... If that kid is admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, you can't fight, if you can't get in, you will quarrel again, and no one will care about a fight in a place. ”

The answer to the man's question was an old man with a white beard, also wearing a purple official uniform and a six-beam crown on his head. The old man stood in the crowd, and everyone else seemed to have great respect for him.

"Oh?"

The questioner was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the deputy party of the border army who presented the pinyin annotation and arithmetic small characters to His Majesty?" ”

That old man is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huai Qiugong, the elder of the three dynasties, who has a very high status in the court, he and Zhou Banchuan are called the two elders in the court, and His Majesty also respects the two of them.

"Master Mou, you have to remember this little guy. He was born in the border army, and you are the new secretary of the military department...... In any case, he also fought a lot of face for the military department. On that day, in the vault of Changchun Garden, I witnessed the ability of this little guy. Niu Huilun and Zhuang Chuyu, the old guys, were stunned one by one. It's Your Majesty...... Also full of praise. ”

"The students remembered."

It was the new military department Shangshu Mou Liangbi who asked, and he couldn't help but look at Fang Xie a few more times after listening to Huai Qiugong's words.

Not only him, but also Zong Lianghu, the new military squire standing beside him.

At this time, someone came from a distance and said, "Even if you are talented and learned, shouldn't you be humble and polite?" Such a hero who relies on the advantage of his tongue is insulting after all. is so arrogant, it seems that even if he is talented, he is too impetuous, and he still needs to be sharpened. ”

Everyone looked over there and saw that the person who came was Yang Yin, Prince Yi.

Huai Qiugong and the others leaned over to salute, and Yang Yin hurriedly walked a few steps to support Huai Qiugong. After seeing the salute, the military department Shangshu Mou Liangbi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "How can a soldier defend the territory and open up the territory, how can he not be arrogant?" The prince's words did not dare to echo the officials...... If the soldiers of the Great Sui were humble and polite, they would all be gentle...... How can you call the army of tigers and wolves? ”

Yang Yin was stunned, took a deep look at Mou Liangbi and smiled, didn't say anything anymore, and took the lead in walking into the gate of the martial arts academy after making a gesture of please. Huai Qiugong also glanced at Mou Liangbi, and there was an intriguing meaning in his eyes. Mou Liangbi didn't understand, but he didn't regret what he said.

In his opinion.

Be proud!
