Chapter 736: Two Trials of Civil and Military Affairs
Tu Da's eyes were fixed on Tu Er's body, his eyebrows were contemplative, and after a long time, Tu Da's gaze became fierce.
"I understand, let's not talk about whether Tu Er will be burned to death by ordinary flames, even if it is an ordinary person, if he is burned by the flames, he will definitely fall to the ground, and the flames will be extinguished where he touches the ground, and what is burned is the place where he has not been exposed to the flames, so it is difficult for a person's body to be burned to the exact same on both sides. What's more, it's Tu Er's body, if an ordinary fire prevention wants to burn his body like this, it is not at all possible in one or two hours. ”
Tu Da's eyes flashed with wisdom.
Tang Letian nodded slightly, "Although Tu Er's cultivation is not high, he has a profound background and extraordinary talent, I think he has at least reached the peak realm of flesh and blood, this realm is powerful, it can be called rough skin and thick flesh, and if the ordinary flame wants to burn him like this, it will take at least a few hours." ”
Tu Da looked at Tu Er's scorched body and nodded solemnly: "There is another thing I don't understand, you just reminded me that my brother can break out of the fire at any time, why did he not escape from the fire after being burned like this? I see that there are no traces of fighting on his body, there are no scars, Tu Er, this guy has always been lazy, and he is afraid of death, if there is a danger of life and death, he will definitely find a way to escape." ”
Tang Letian said lightly: "There are only two possibilities, the first possibility, the other party is strong, he doesn't dare to resist or escape." ”
Without waiting for Tang Letian to finish speaking, Tu Da shook his head again and again: "Impossible, this guy Tu Er is very desperate, no matter how strong the other party is, he will find a way to escape." ”
Tang Letian shook his head slightly and said, "That's not necessarily, what if the other party is not only powerful but also powerful?
Tu Da was very puzzled by Tang Letian's words, Tang Letian didn't explain too much, and continued: "The second reason is that Tu Er was stunned, but I don't think this possibility is too great. ”
"Left and right, I think, the first one is closer to reality. In other words, he chose to give up his life in order to protect some people, and the flame that burned him was probably not an ordinary flame, it was likely to be some refined flames, such as the furnace fire used to refine the elixir!"
In this realm, there are very few flame supernatural powers, so Tang Letian has to say it differently to make Tu Da understand.
And there are also refining pills in this world, and often the alchemist has to control the temperature of the furnace fire and have the ability to increase the temperature of the flame.
"It was an alchemist who killed my brother?"
Tu Da said viciously.
Tang Letian shook his head helplessly and said, "It doesn't have to be an alchemist, there are some talented beings in this world, they have some special magical powers, and they can even manipulate flames at their fingertips." ”
Tu Da had heard of such an existence, but such a guy was definitely not very human, or such a guy had a name.
"You mean royalty?"
Tang Letian took a deep look at Tu Da.
"Only the people of the royal family can have the kind of power you say. Only the royal family could make my brother dare not resist, because he knew that his brother was preparing to make a name for himself. ”
Speaking of this, Tu Da's eyes flickered, revealing a miserable wry smile, if it was really as he expected, then Tu Er died for him. Obviously, Tu Da actually knows a lot more than Tang Letian.
Tang Letian just gave a simple hint, and Tu Da thought of the royal family.
But then Tu Dalian shook his head repeatedly: "How is it possible? How can it be the royal family?"
Tang Lotian didn't say any more words and turned to leave.
Tu Da stopped Tang Letian: "What? You dropped such a suspense and wanted to leave? How do I know that you don't want to use me and harm me? I even began to wonder if this guy of yours would have something to do with my brother's death!"
Tang Lotian stopped, turned his head to look at Tu Da, and said slowly: "I can understand your thoughts at this time, but if you waste time on me, then you will put the cart before the horse, and you will never be able to avenge your brother." ”
After Tang Letian finished speaking, he turned around and left, and stopped again, "If I didn't act rashly, save your life, try to climb higher in this dynasty, and have more power and power, you can find the reason for Tu Er's death, and you have the opportunity to avenge Tu Er, otherwise it will just be a waste of your life." ”
After Tang Letian finished speaking, he walked farther and farther away and disappeared into this jungle.
Tu Da looked at Tang Letian's back fixedly, and after a long time, Tu Da stared at Tu Er's corpse, and his eyes slowly became resolute.
After a long time, Tu Da buried Tu Er's body little by little, without a trace of hesitation.
Covering the last handful of soil on Tu Er's grave, Tu Da exhaled heavily, and said firmly: "Bastard boy, there is no future, you are waiting for me here, your brother will avenge you, no matter who he is, even if it is a royal family, Lao Tzu will let him die without a place to be buried." ”
After speaking, Tu Da stood up, turned around and left, without looking back again.
Tang Letian's words he put in his heart, he must not act rashly, he must first find a way to gain fame, with strong strength and supreme authority, he has the right to touch the truth of Tu Er's death.
Time flickered, and seven days passed.
This day is the time for the annual civil and military examinations in Qingguangbian.
It can be said that this is a very important thing in Qingguangbian, and the entire dynasty is watching the two exams of one article and one martial arts.
The various forces in the DPRK and China are also paying close attention to the newcomers who have distinguished themselves in the civil and military examinations.
These newcomers will be added to various positions in the future, and although they will not have any great achievements in the next three or five years, it is difficult to say whether there will be real power figures among them who can influence the court in ten or twenty years.
The bigwigs in the court are all extremely shrewd figures, and they pay attention to taking one step at a time and looking at ten steps, so the things in ten years are in their consideration.
Every chess piece must have its use, and these students and warriors who have stood out from the civil and military examinations are the chess pieces in their hands.
The more pieces you have, the better your chances of winning, and the fewer pieces you have, the less future you have in your hands.
Therefore, the students and martial artists in the civil and military examinations are all staring closely.
Especially now, the old emperor has reached the twilight of his life, addicted to pills, and all kinds of illusory political achievements, hoping to enter the upper world of the ruins, so as to prolong his life.
Both the officialdom and the people are full of complaints, and the prince is shrewd and strong, showing an extraordinary ability to control the country everywhere, and many ministers in the court feel that the prince is a lord of Zhongxing, and he defected to the prince openly and secretly.
This made two forces appear in the court, one represents the old emperor, who is easy to break bones and hide under the officialdom and is loyal to the prince.
At first, these two forces were pouring into each other, and the fight between them was still under the water, but as the old emperor's body became weaker and weaker recently, the battle between the two forces has also entered a white-hot state.
However, nothing seems to have happened between the emperor and the crown prince, and it is still the father's kindness and filial piety.
However, the ministers in the court can also understand the mystery.
It's not that the emperor and the prince are acting, but the emperor and the prince are the royal family, and there is no need for any fight between the royal family, and these courtiers belong to the lowly alien race, and the battle between the royal families will not be put on the surface, but they will only be charged by these lowly clans to fight each other, and when they decide the winner, the royal family will be considered to have won or lost.
This kind of thing happened not only in the court, but also in the war between the two countries.
No matter how fierce the fight between the two countries is, even if the two sides are bloody, the royal family will still maintain mutual contact, and even drink and laugh at the same table.
The golden bell rang, and the civil and military trials began at the same time.
The examination rooms for the civil and military examinations are located in the east and west of the imperial capital respectively, after all, the martial arts examination is noisy, and the literary examination must be quiet, so the two sides are far apart.
Tang Letian's figure appeared in the martial arts examination room, and there was also a black tower-like Tu Da here.
However, there was no communication and exchange between the two, not even eye contact.
Tu Da was obviously a little smarter than Tang Lotian imagined.
Unlike the quiet ghosts around the Wen Test, the Wu Test side is surrounded by a crowd of spectators.
The rich and noble people sat on both sides of the young ladies and gentlemen, while the lively common people stood in the distance, holding a pergola and looking out at a spacious and flat ring.
The martial artists who participated in the martial arts test in this ring had to show their mastery, and after the identification of a group of examiners, the promising warriors were left behind, and then these warriors had to fight each other to determine the winner and the top 100.
These 100 warriors will be eligible to join the army, and as soon as they enter the army, they will be battalion officers, and of course, they can also join the government to patrol the streets.
And most of the top twenty of them will stay in the imperial capital, and there are many more important positions waiting for them.
Tang Letian watched quietly, one by one the martial artists who stepped into the ring and showed their skills.
These martial artists and other good performances attracted bursts of applause, but they made Tang Lotian drowsy.
In Tang Letian's opinion, these tricks of theirs are as ridiculous as children's graffiti.
Therefore, Tang Letian, who was initially interested, completely lost interest at this time, and his eyes began to constantly look at those generals who maintained order.
These generals didn't know which side of the imperial city they were, and they all had a string of bells hanging from their waists, and the bells collided with each other to make a pleasant sound when they walked.
These generals have cultivated to be extraordinary one by one, and if they stand in the ring, they may all be in the top twenty.
