Ignoring the malicious gaze, Yang Ming and Lin Dong walked directly in front of Weng Lao, and after a simple salute, they stood at the end of the line.

At this time, a gentle gaze was cast from not far away, Yang Ming responded and looked, only to see Xin'er standing among the students of Shangcai Academy, showing a warm smile to Yang Ming, Shui Ling's eyes were bent into a charming crescent, and her pretty posture outlined a picture of a beauty embedded in her heart, so gentle, she couldn't help but warm the young man's heart.

Almost all the students who have reached the Ten Strength Chenyao in the lift assessment have already arrived, except for Liu Qianyu, Shen Mo no longer waited, cleared his throat, and faced the students standing in a row, and shouted in a condensed voice: "You are the students who performed well in this lift assessment, and you have also obtained the qualification to participate in the selection of excellent learning, which will not only test your combat ability, but also test your thinking and adaptability. In order to hone your combat experience, the academy has specially invited five cultivation instructors, and in the next two months, they will take you out to practice, or join the army, or go to the border fortress. What it will take you to do depends on your spiritual teacher. ”

After a pause in his tone, Shen Mo continued, "Then next, I will first introduce these five cultivation masters to you. ”

Shen Mo measured his body to the right, then raised his right hand and introduced it from left to right: "First of all, the rightmost ones are the defenders of Chaohua County, General Zhao Liang, the commander of the palace guards, General Zhu Lian, the border guards, General Wang Fu, the Red Horse Army, General Zhou Quan. ”

When the words fell on the Red Horse Army, General Zhou Quan, the students' eyes suddenly gathered, and they couldn't help but stand up to highlight themselves.

After introducing the generals on the right-hand side, Shen Mo leaned to the left, that is, he raised his left hand, and at this time, Yang Ming noticed that there was still a man standing on Shen Mo's left side.

The man stood casually, with a few strands of hair on his forehead, his eyes half-closed, as if he had not slept all night, and the corners of his mouth were unshaven, with a bit of laziness and decadence. Especially a slightly shabby shirt, which sets off him particularly dazzlingly. Compared with the four generals on the right, it seems so out of place, like putting a rag and four fine silk horses together, which is better and which is bad, you can see at a glance.

"This Wu Jian is a traveler and my old friend. Shen Mo said simply. As for this Wu Jian, what his strength is and what his origin is, it is unknown.

There are countless strong people on the mainland, but only after being recognized by the state, can they be called national soldiers, and as national soldiers, the country comes first, but national scholars are not saints, once national soldiers commit major crimes, they will be deprived of the title of national warriors by the state, and even expelled from the country, these people are called travelers. Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the traveler is often a derogatory word, especially when these strong people are deprived of the title of national soldier, they will never be hired by the state, in fact, they have lost their economic resources, and they have been the strong people of the people, naturally will not do those subservient work, in order to make a living, many travelers have started to make a living as robbers and killers, of course, there are a few travelers who are unwilling to do this, they wander the world, living in poverty, and living a life can really be said to be like a beggar. Judging from Wu Jian's dress, it is obvious that he belongs to the latter.

Looking at Wu Jian's poor and sour appearance, the students of the Shangcai Academy let out sarcastic and sneering unabashedly, completely ignoring the courtesy of respecting the teacher.

"Look at his poor and sour appearance, who would ask him to be a spiritual teacher. ”

"Is this a beggar picked up from the street? What can he teach?"

"If he were to be a spiritual guide, I would rather not take the exam. ”

The words went on and on, however, Shen Mo squinted his eyes as if he hadn't heard anything, and said with a smile: "The above are the five cultivation masters this time, then, the five masters can start to choose the students they want." ”

As Shen Mo's voice came to an end, all the students in the audience suddenly became nervous and looking forward to it.

Yang Ming also couldn't hide the excitement on his face, his immature little face was full of happy smiles and expectations for cultivation, thinking, which general would he choose?

Little did he know, however, that what he was ushering in later was an indignant disappointment.

......

In the martial arts training ground, the four generals glanced at the students standing opposite each other with indifferent eyes, occasionally exchanging opinions with each other, like housewives picking vegetables in the market.

The four generals did not select the students together, but there was an order, and those with high status and strength could naturally be selected first, which was the default rule no matter where it was, so the thoughtfulness of the Red Horse Army began to select the desired students first.

Looking at the cold and thoughtful face, the young man in the field showed a trace of apprehension and excitement on his face, as if it was a major event in his life.

Just when Zhou Quan walked in front of Yan Zhendong with high spirits, Yan Zhendong suddenly stepped forward and asked,

"The student Yan Zhendong and the father Yan Hao specially asked the students to say hello to the general on their behalf. ”

Hearing this name, Zhou Quan's face changed instantly, and his attitude was much gentler, Zhou Quan's natural acquaintance Yan Hao, he was an important minister of Jiang Guo, ranked in Xiangguo, and had a very good personal relationship with the general Liu Chen. "It turned out to be the young master of Yan Xiangguo, what a young talent. ”

"Thank you for the general's praise, but no matter how talented the student is, he can't compare to the general's heroic appearance. ”

"Hahaha, okay, I wonder if Young Master Yan is willing to follow General Ben into the Red Horse Army to practice and train?"

"Of course the students do, General Xie. ”

After some conversation, Yan Zhendong was immediately selected by Zhou Quan, and the smug expression on his face was much richer.

This kind of selection is generally one-way, similar to a teacher picking a student, almost never a student picking a teacher, unless it is a particularly good, or a student with a strong background, he is qualified to choose a teacher, such as Xin'er County Lord.

The county lord of Xin'er was naturally different from other students, his little face was elegant and not stained with any impurities, standing in the queue, like a noble white lotus, as if he was not affected by such a tense atmosphere at all. As the lord of a country, she naturally has such a proud capital.

Walking in front of the county lord of Xin'er, even the general Zhou Quan of the Red Horse Army took the initiative to bend over and ask for peace, and the relationship between teachers and students was instantly reversed.

"The last general is thoughtful, and I ask the county lord for peace. ”

The tip of her eyebrows was raised slightly, and Xin'er just smiled faintly and said: "The general doesn't need to be polite, there are only students and teachers in today's martial arts training field, there is no county lord, and Xin'er is just one of many students." ”

"The Admiral knows. Zhou Quan straightened up, but his tone was still humble, "Dare to ask, the county lord is willing to follow the last general into the Red Horse Army to practice, the last general is willing to personally guide the county lord, and there are many people in the army who have exquisite elephant skills, and there are hundreds of volumes of the art of war, I believe the county lord will like it." Zhou Quan listed the generous conditions of the Red Horse Army one by one, all of which were tempting.

It is also understandable that he can become the cultivation mentor of the Xin'er County Lord, and it will be much easier for him to become an official and become a knight one day.

Looking at a sincere thoughtfulness, Xin'er did not immediately agree, her ruddy little face set off a faint arc, which was not only solemn, but also appropriate, and said slowly: "Thank you for the general's kindness, can you allow Xin'er to consider one or two? After all, cultivation is a big deal." ”

There was no refusal and no promise. This answer made Zhou Quan speechless for a while, so he had to respond with a dry smile: "Listen to the county lord." ”

Subsequently, under Yan Zhendong's recommendation, Zhou Quan selected Han Mingshan and several other students of the Shangcai Academy, all of whom had a good relationship with Yan Zhendong, and they were all official eunuchs. This concludes the first round of selection. As for Yang Ming and Lin Dong, Zhou Quan didn't even look at it.

The situation of the three generals was basically similar, they all ate in front of the Xin'er County Lord, and they all ignored Yang Ming and Lin Dong, their eyes only lingered on the students of Shangcai Academy, and Yang Ming and Lin Dong, who were standing at the end of the team, were not even as good as two grains of dust, at least, the dust would make people sneer, and their lonely figures seemed to have been forgotten by the world.

Finally, unable to help but be full of questions, Yang Ming mustered up the courage to walk up to General Zhou Quan, and asked:

"Student Yang Ming, I would like to ask if the student can follow the general into the Red Horse Army to practice......

Zhou Quan was expressionless, his eyebrows were like ink lines, he frowned slightly, and said coldly: "No." ”

"Why?" Yang Ming's expression was extremely iron-blue, disappointed, and the blow suddenly appeared.

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Quan's expression suddenly became a little heavier, and he shouted: "Are you questioning me? Who does General Ben choose, do I still need to explain to you?"

After speaking, he shook his arm fiercely and stepped forward, leaving only Yang Ming's indifferent back.

There is no reason to refuse, because Zhou Quan can't say any reason to refuse Yang Ming, he is talented, talented, is a rare talent, if he joins the army in the future, he must have an unlimited future, but Zhou Quan still can't accept Yang Ming, not only because of his civilian status, but also because he committed a big taboo, a few days ago, Yang Ming defeated General Liu Chen's beloved son, Liu Qianyu, how dare Zhou Quan include Yang Ming in the army.

After hearing this, Yang Ming stood in place in a daze, but he was unwilling to give up, and when he was about to step forward again, Yan Zhendong quietly walked in front of him, sneered, and said in a low voice:

"Don't bother, the Red Horse Army won't accept you, let alone the other three generals. ”

"Why?" Yang Ming felt that Yan Zhendong must know the reason, so he asked.

"Because you have offended the powerful, especially General Liu, he is quite unhappy with you. ”

"General Liu?

"Hehe, don't you really know? Liu Qianyu is the son of General Liu, you beat your son, do you think Lao Tzu will make you feel better? Do you know that most of the military power of Jiang Country is now in the hands of the Liu family, if General Liu is unhappy, don't say that you can't join the Red Horse Army now, and you don't want to enter any army of Jiang Country in the future. And in the competition a few days ago, how many rich and noble eunuchs made a heavy bet on Liu Qianyu, but you let them lose, the families of the eunuchs have all the power in this country, not to mention the Martial Arts Academy, even Jiang Guo, you don't want to stay any longer. ”

"Why ......" Yang Ming's face suddenly turned pale, and the corners of his lips trembled. Could it be that he did something wrong by winning against Liu Qianyu?

Yan Zhendong returned coldly: "Yang Ming, I admit that you are a genius, but people's fate has nothing to do with talent, has nothing to do with struggle, everything is determined by birth, we were born nobles, and in the future we will enlist in the army as generals and officials in the court, the road has already been paved, and you were born as a civilian, even if you have excellent talent, you can't change the gap with us." Everyone has their own place to stay, the nobles are above the people, and the commoners are below the people, this is the order of the world, if you want to blame it, blame your life, the commoner genius. ”

Different from Yan Zhendong's expectations, after knowing this truth, Yang Ming's body trembled suddenly, at the beginning, the young man's body was a little slight, and he looked a little lost, but at this moment he straightened up, his eyes were level with Yan Zhendong, and the light of his black eyes bloomed, as if burning, and his immature face became hideous and terrifying......

"What do you want to do......" Yan Zhendong was so frightened by Yang Ming's appearance that he hurriedly took a few steps back, and Zhou Quan on the side also noticed something unusual, turned around, looked at Yang Ming's angry eyes, and suddenly felt a little chill in his heart......

The body trembled, and a violent blood rushed to his mind, and suddenly an explosive impulse appeared in his heart, and at this moment, Zu Ze's voice was like a blow to the head, falling on Yang Ming's heart,

"Young master, even if you kill him, it won't do anything. Think about it, what should you do? If a thousand years ago, your family was still the most prominent person in the mainland, who would dare to say this to you? But then your family was defeated, and you also became a commoner, and you were looked down upon, this is the status class in the world. If you don't want to be despised, you have to change your status as a commoner and stand on top of all people, so that all people in the world can only look up. ”

This is the Glorious Continent, this is the reality, strength is strength, and status is status.

Some people have no strength at all, just because their ancestors won the war, they were born in the family of the victors, and they do not need to work hard, they can enjoy the fruits of the victors, and they are born to be masters, what kind of order is this? I don't recognize this kind of position arrangement! Yang Ming only felt that a momentum was growing in his heart, since the destiny of heaven bears me, then the mandate of heaven can also be disobeyed, in this life, I will definitely be high, so that those who once despised me will no longer dare to look down on me!

Yang Ming exhaled deeply, the hideousness on his face slowly faded with the turbidity exhaled, and his dark eyes returned to calm again.

Burdened with the identity of a civilian, Yang Ming has been over for 12 years, if he wants to change this situation, the only way is through the Martial Arts Academy, if he is angry today, I am afraid that he will be driven out of the Martial Arts Academy, so he must endure! At this time, Yang Ming remembered an old saying that the old village chief once taught him: "If you want to cut wheat, you must first bend down." ”

If you look at the world as a poor and humble person, you will see a lot of things clearly, it can make you calm down, and it can make you excited, and always remember how the world despises your own poverty, and always remember how eager you are to change all this injustice!

Restrained the anger in his eyes, facing Yan Zhendong, Zhou Quan, and Shen Mo and others in the center of the martial arts training ground, Yang Ming folded his hands, bowed, and said: "It's the student who is rude, I'm sorry! However, please also remember that people will change, there is no eternal wealth, and there will be no eternal commoners. ”

The last few words, like a heavy hammer, quietly smashed into Zhou Quan's heart, making his heart suddenly tighten, and his back was cold, "This kid is too dangerous, he must not be allowed to enter the army, otherwise he will really be allowed to climb to a high position, and those of us who have humiliated him today will definitely not end well......"

Zhou Quan faintly felt that he had offended an amazing teenager today. It's normal for a teenager to have ambitions, but it's rare for a teenager to be able to endure it.

Ignoring the stunned expressions of Zhou Quan and the others, Yang Ming turned around and was about to stride out of the martial arts training ground, since there was no door here, then look for another place.

"Young master, don't worry," Zu Ze's voice suddenly sounded from his heart.
