"Hahaha......"

During the most memorable Lou Hua years, Lu You listened to Huo'er's extremely reluctant whispered recitation, ignoring her resentful little eyes at all, and laughed uncontrollably.

"Brother Yan is too naughty, isn't it...... Hahahiccup......" While Lu You teased Huo'er, he suddenly remembered that the shortlisting might not be simple, so he hurriedly stopped laughing, glanced back at Wen Ruoyan and Wen Ruoyan, who were drunk and unconscious again, lowered his voice and frowned: "Brother Yan, there may be a conspiracy behind the shortlisting!" ”

"That's what I thought, too." Huo'er picked at the fake face on his forehead, and said with a sinking face, "Presumably someone deliberately made a mistake from it and made me shortlisted, so that I could see the joke of the Hope Academy." ”

Lu You lowered his head and pondered for a moment, took a sip of his wine glass, and then asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”

As soon as Lu You asked, there was no doubt that he was tied to the Hope Academy, Huo'er glanced at him quietly, and thought to himself: Since the Egret Academy didn't let me go, and I happened to take the big boat of Lu You again, then it is okay to continue walking, just to find out, if I can get more information from the Egret Academy, it can be regarded as a solution for Brother Yunxing!

"I don't have any plans." Huo'er said in a deep voice, "I'm not boasting, I also have a lot of research in martial arts, and Brother Lu is the number one genius in the world of Yunwen Yunwu, why are you afraid of him?" Even if it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, as long as you and I join forces, why be afraid? ”

"Hahaha......" Lu You laughed a few times, as if he acquiesced to his position and identity, and the worries in his heart were swept away, only to see him pick up his wine glass and say loudly: "Wen has Lu, Wu has Brother Yan, you and I are united, Hangzhou is unsurpassed, even so, Lu will give up his life to accompany the gentleman!" ”

"Brother Lu is really a big husband!" Huo'er's heart was so happy that she couldn't help but praise it. With his help, he not only greatly made up for his shortcomings in literary fighting, but also completely pulled this generation of literary heroes into his own camp, which is undoubtedly a great loss for Bailu Academy, which attaches great importance to culture and education.

"Boom!" Huo'er picked up the wine glass and touched Lu You violently, and said, "Dry!" The two of them drank three glasses in a row before giving up.

After a banquet to celebrate the success of the finalists, Lu You helped Wen Ruoyan and the two to go to another room to rest, after Huo'er waited for all the leftovers and cold rice to be removed, he closed the door and opened the window, took off the mask, closed his eyes and let the autumn breeze blow in the middle of the night with a beautiful face as smooth as jade, and the beautiful scenery of the West Lake at night was unobstructed, as if it was a little more lively and charming than usual. I don't know if the beauty is more enchanting in front of the West Lake, or the West Lake has a different charm in front of the beauty.

On September 18, Huo'er and the four of them returned to the inn next to the Egret Wenyuan, and just entered their own room, they received three invitations from the Egret Academy, inviting the shortlisted three to continue to participate in the "Friends with Martial Arts" promotion competition that began on the 19th.

Could it be that my identity has been revealed? Or is it specifically to deal with the Hope Academy under the name of Brother Yunxing?

But with a scolding poem, can the Egret Academy make a temporary decision to add a new martial arts link? It seems to be a bit fantastical, besides, Biwen can't do it, isn't the competition against his Egret Academy unpleasant?

Huo'er really couldn't figure out what the Egret Academy meant by this move, so he sat on the chair and shook his head slightly, so he didn't think about it anymore, whatever, the soldiers would block the water and cover it! I'm still afraid that you won't succeed in the competition?

In fact, Huo'er is not the only one who has doubts in his heart, the increase of this link has made many shortlisted scholars complain, they are not all-rounders, and the increase in this link will undoubtedly eliminate a large number of people who are powerless, among which there is a literary time.

This group of scholars naturally resisted the increase of this new link, in the afternoon, Wen Shiyong joined the condemnation team, a large number of people stood at the gate of the Egret Wenyuan to protest against the increase of the new link, only a short time, the Egret Academy sent a teacher to relieve the siege, the reason for the increase in the competition link is as follows:

"As we all know, the addition of the trialists has made our world undergo earth-shaking changes, which has advantages and disadvantages, the bad ones aside, the good side is that we have to learn from them, keep up with the development of the times and make the best choice of the game link of Wenyuan, the so-called 'moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor' all-round development, it is this truth; Even if he is talented and literate, he will never be able to adapt to the new trend of the development of the times.

In fact, as early as the time of Confucius, this kind of learning method was not uncommon, such as the seventy-two sages, who knew everything about poetry, books, rituals and music; Or the great sages of later generations, Li Taibai is famous for his poetry and immortals, and he also has the reputation of "Qinglian Knight" in the green forests of the rivers and lakes, and the sage Ouyang Yongshu of this dynasty is famous for his literary talents, and he is also one of the 'three Weng swords' at that time - the drunken swordsman, the sages are still like this, how can I and other descendants fall into the literati style?

There are ancestors to lead by example, after the influence of the new trend of thought of the trialists, the Egret Wenyuan naturally can not fall behind the trialists, the increase in the competition link is not only to learn from the ancestors, but also to conform to the trend, if the Egret Wenyuan only because of the champion word to rise, it is bound to be abandoned by the times, if you want to develop for a long time, we must make reforms.

It is true that the increase in the martial arts link is indeed abrupt, and it is the negligence of our Egret Academy that we did not inform the ranking in advance, and here I sincerely apologize to you for the Egret Academy, if the ranking is not very confident in the martial arts link, my Egret Academy will also arrange for you to play for free in Hangzhou for a day, in order to express our apologies. ”

This call seemed to be recited according to the script, obviously the Egret Academy had already prepared, after the teachers finished this call, they bowed lightly, and left in a dashing manner, leaving only a group of scholars to look at each other and return in disappointment.

It's not that they don't want to protest, it's that there's really no better reason to refute it.

Borrowing the name of the sages and completely throwing this pot on the trialists who follow the trend, this group of scholars has no choice but to secretly admit that they are unlucky. The most important point is that this is in Hangzhou, on the territory of the Egret Academy, in addition to the official representatives of the Heavenly Master and Hua Piao, it is the largest in the Egret Academy.

Because of this, Wen Shiyong got drunk when he returned to the inn, Huo'er and Lu You worked hard to enlighten him, and he came to his senses a little, and repeatedly said that he would stay until the day when Lu You won the top prize, which was the greatest support he could give, and it was also a dream of his own.

And Wen Ruoyan has a bit of a bad mind, although it is also persuasion, there is always a trace of joy in his heart, because he is finally no longer the one who is dragging his feet among the four.

……

The next day, Huo'er got up early in the morning unlike before, this time with a new goal, and also made her have a trace of expectation for the link of "meeting friends with martial arts", for her, this is not only a fun thing, but also a necessary link to be able to gain an in-depth understanding of the martial arts strength of Egret Academy, and it can be regarded as a little help to Yan Yunxing, in order to please him, it is best to make some achievements to show him, to prove that he is not just naughty and causing trouble, in the territory of the Celestial Empire, he can also give him the greatest help as in Dongying!

With the goal, Huo'er's narrow eyebrows and eyes seemed to be much more agile and lively than before, after waking up Lu You and a few people, they took the lead out of the inn, although Lu You and a few people noticed the difference in Huo'er, but they didn't take it to heart, whether it was the identity of the fire protector known by Lu You, or the identity of Yan Ruyu where Wen Ruoyan and the two intersected, they had long been accustomed to her eccentric and moody personality, just when she was suddenly excited on a whim.

The four of them walked together, and after a short time, they arrived at the Egret Wenyuan, and were told that the "meeting friends with martial arts" session was held in the hunting ground outside the Wenyuan, and the four of them then arrived at the hunting ground, Wen Ruoyan and the two went to the viewing seat, and Huo'er and the two walked into the contestant seat with an invitation.

With the invitation letter, the scholars who participated in the competition also received the competition rule book, read it throughout, and everyone also had a general understanding of the content of the competition.

First of all, the teacher who presided over the meeting with martial arts today, is one of the thirty-six teachers of the Egret Academy - Hao Jiawen, the referee is also a figure at the level of "thirty-six teachers", such as Dong Chuanmei, who Huo'er met in the small study, and the middle-aged teacher Zou Satin, who led them into the Wenyuan in the short-entry competition a few days ago, and some other scorekeepers and small referees are among the "seventy-two disciples", and the remaining chores to serve tea and water to the teachers are the work of "one hundred and eight disciples", and most of the remaining scholars in the academy, They didn't even have the opportunity to run errands, most of them were trialists, and taking in this group of trialist students was actually to enhance the good reputation of Egret Academy among trialists, and to earn more money from them to develop themselves.

Speaking of the level division of the internal personnel of the Egret Academy, I have to mention the spokesperson of the Egret Academy in dealing with the outside world - the group of "Thirty-six Teachers", strictly speaking, these thirty-six people also have internal level division, most of them are foreign academies to join the ship, only a small part of them are students of the Nine Great Masters, and this small part is the best of the thirty-six people, generally do not participate in external activities, nor do they preside over daily work, and the more proud disciples of the Nine Great Masters have entered the "Twelve Disciples" This group of Ancestors and their disciples constituted the highest level of the White Egret Academy.

Among the thirty-six people, the remaining teachers are also superior and inferior, and those who can be the speakers or the chief referee and invigilator are the leaders of the backbone of the Egret Academy, such as Zhang Chuanxiao, Hao Jiawen, Dong Chuanmei, Zou Sain, etc., and the last remaining people, such as Shen Zhongzhi and others, are the last of the thirty-six. By analogy, the disciples of Zhang Chuanxiao and others are the best of the seventy-two disciples or one hundred and eight disciples, and the rest are at the bottom of this group of backbones. In the end, the largest number of ordinary students and trialists left were the lowest level of the pyramid of Egret Academy.

Going back to the rules of the game, this competition is a promotion tournament, and it is also a fierce competition knockout round, and only 16 people can advance to the final champion competition in the three-day competition.

There are seven major competitions, the first four are archery, horseback riding, routines, and heron feathers, which are held on the same day, without actual combat confrontation, and the scores of the four competitions are added together, and the former who ranks in 1,600 is promoted; The last three were divided into two days, namely fencing, jousting and the final day of the Heroes.

Among the seven major items, there are not only traditional martial arts projects such as archery and horseback riding, but also foreign fencing projects for reference, as well as the Egret Academy's self-created projects Luyu and Qunyinghui, which can be said to be a new glory of learning from hundreds of schools of thought and creating a new glory of martial arts.

Huo'er didn't know much about these events, and after a general review of the rules, the two warmed up and began to prepare for the first three competitions in the morning.
