The two girls danced the sword to the extreme, the sword edge was ethereal, but there was no delicate power, but some of them were as murderous as a battle array.

Luo Shang flew, and from time to time there were one or two exclamations from the audience, only to see that the sword blade was only the slightest bit to pierce the other party, but it was blocked by the opponent's sword every time at this time.

The sword dance was originally a thing for the soldiers to have fun in the big tent in the army, but at this moment, seeing a woman dancing the sword has a unique charm.

The tune of musical instruments resounded all around, and the pipa played a rapid and melodious sound, which seemed to hook everyone's hearts, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse seemed to be right in front of them.

Clang!

The two swords struck each other, making a crisp sound of gold and stone clashing, and then the two of them collected their swords at the same time, threw a sword flower in the air, and bowed slightly.

The hall was full of applause, and the singing and dancing ended here. Fireworks rose from the surface of the lake, striking the air dazzlingly.

King Yan stood up and said, "The masters in the academy will not come today, I have specially made an award, if anyone can win the poetry conference, I will give him a position as a staff member of the palace." Lord Tang, how about letting me take a look at the young talents of Da Zhou? ”

The palace staff......

Tang Yun looked at the lively scene below, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder.

The literati of the Central Plains are arrogant, no matter which dynasty it is, the literati have always been unruly, and in the literati circle, ordinary people are unwilling to be the staff of the nobles' mansions. The orthodox imperial examination is the first in the world, and although there are many ways to become officials, the rest still have a few better weights.

The Yan Wangfu is different, as one of the few noble princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, being able to be a staff member of the palace is almost a step into the upper circle of the capital.

The former Chaoyang Emperor was originally a concubine, an inconspicuous prince. It's just that no one expected that it was this most inconspicuous prince who was born at the last critical moment. At that time, the crown prince and the second prince, who were fighting with each other, did not expect that almost half of their subordinates had taken refuge in Emperor Yang, and even some cronies were sent to them by Emperor Yang very early.

Emperor Yang was originally just a county king, but after he ascended the throne, the staff of his county palace also ascended to heaven, and many people acted as members of the court in the capital. Some of the staff members even only raised people's backgrounds, but because of their closeness to Emperor Yang, they were even squeezed into the six Shangshu.

It is said that there are many opportunities in the capital, and this is the opportunity.

Now the discerning person has seen that the future emperor is estimated to be born from the two princes, and this opportunity is almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If King Yan finally became the emperor, wouldn't it be better to become a staff member in the palace at such a time.

What's more, even if he becomes a staff member, he can still participate in the imperial examination of the imperial court, but he has an extra mark of Yanwangfu.

Poetry and writing still need to be judged in the end. The judge is the Taifu of the Yan Palace, and he is also the great Confucian of Cangyun Academy, even if the teachers of some students come over, they must be honored as Mr. It is up to him to judge, and the others naturally have nothing to say.

It was the first time Tang Yun saw such a grand occasion, and he only felt very fresh.

Not as he imagined, the scholars were dressed in long robes, shaking their heads. Although they are all young people, they are full of vigor and vigor, and the poems they write are rarely pretentious.

Taixue, Hongwenguan, Guozijian, Cangyun Academy, the four universities almost include all the young talents of the Great Zhou. Now they are fighting for tat on the surface of the lake, not so much to fight for a staff, but to fight for face for their respective institutions.

Today's topic is very interesting, it is "war".

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, it was an orthodox court. However, there are powerful enemies in the northern wilderness in the north, the countries of the Western Regions in the west, barbarians in the south who often intrude on the border, and the endless sea in the east, where krakens often appear and attack passing ships.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for a long time, but it still advocates the martial style of the previous dynasty. Even if you are a scholar, you have to cultivate some martial arts.

This topic is a bit out of place with today's lantern festival, but it is a favorite topic for young people to talk about.

"Lord Tang, you have been on the border for many years, according to you, when will my Great Zhou be able to pacify the Northern Wilderness?" King Yan asked with a smile.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Tang Yun's eyes, and he said, "At least for ten years, the Northern Wilderness Rebellion cannot be quelled. In fact, their military strength is far superior to that of our dynasty, but the desert north is desolate, resources are scarce, the army is mainly iron cavalry, and logistics are often insufficient. Once our army penetrates, I am afraid that it will really not be able to deal with the enemy army. ”

Tang Yun said very tactfully, the horror of the Northern Wilderness Army, these people who have lived in the Central Plains greenhouse since childhood, will not know.

In a country where the people are martial, men are taught basic life skills such as hunting, riding horses, and killing people from an early age. One soldier of the Northern Wilderness can often fight two soldiers of the Great Zhou Army.

From the fourth floor, there is a staircase that folds back, and the two go down the staircase. Although Tang Yun was wearing embroidered python brocade clothes, under this dark night, although there were torches to illuminate, many places were still hazy, so they were not conspicuous.

There were bursts of laughter all around, and it was often the big disciples who were arguing with each other, and some of the disciples next to them would also debate a few words, but more people were looking at the nearby women.

The fragrant aroma of fat powder evokes reverie, and some scholars invite women to swim with them and walk by the lake together. The scholars' high-minded talk often leads to a burst of pleasant laughter, which is a romance that belongs to young people.

……

The laughter and laughter on the lakeside at night had nothing to do with Fang San.

Fang San was nervous, he didn't know where Fang Five and Fang Qi were. After a long period of training, Fang San's perception of murderous aura was very keen, that Northern Wilderness man was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

It was too dark in all directions, so Fang San pretended to be a lost urchin and begged for a lantern from a girl.

There were a lot of people, Fang San jumped onto a rock, and looked around, he finally found the target.

The figure of the Northern Wilderness man was very burly, and he stood up a head taller than ordinary people. Even though he was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, he was still very conspicuous in the crowd.

There were two lights moving in his direction, and only he could see clearly from this angle, and the people around him, either playing or talking, but the frequency of the two lights moving was a little abnormal.

Obviously, that was Fang Wu and Fang Qi.

Fang San quickly followed, the process was inevitably a little hurried, and there were bursts of women's exclamations from the crowd. Some girls screamed, and lay in the arms of the son next to them, and a good relationship was born.

The romantic scene had nothing to do with Fang San, his head was full of sweat.

Fang Wu and Fang Qi were about to make a move, and the two of them sneaked over at the same time. But he didn't expect that the Northern Wilderness man was very familiar with the road here, so he turned a corner and disappeared without a trace.

Fang San hurriedly followed, but he didn't expect a cellar to appear in front of him.

The cellar was ordinary, with a large hole in it, a door that was hidden, and a shabby wooden door that had clearly been entered.

Fang Wu and Fang Qi also walked in, but no sound came out.

Fang San scolded secretly, who would go into the cellar at this time. There is only one possibility, the people of the Northern Wilderness have already discovered them and want to find a quiet place to kill them.

Fang San deftly flipped down, rolled off the ground, and walked in cautiously on tiptoe.
