CHAPTER XX

Statue of Wu Mu

——————————————

......

Jiang Heng handed in the paper in advance, not to show anything special.

It's because he doesn't want to waste his time there, and even if he wants to sleep, he has to pick a better place to sleep.

After leaving the examination room, Jiang Heng went all the way to the lecture hall.

Because after today's literary examination, tomorrow will be the beginning of the martial arts examination.

The reason why the two preliminary examinations were staggered was probably because the administrators of the Nanqi Prefecture Government thought that there might be people who were both civil and military.

This was exactly what Jiang Heng was thinking, and he found the martial arts hall.

It was the largest martial arts school in Nanqi Prefecture, and most of the people who practiced there were nobles and princes.

Except for big days like the martial arts test, it is rarely open to the public.

Its counterpart was the Guozijian, where the scribes studied.

It is said that the two sides often have conflicts because of civil and military problems. Therefore, there is a feeling that Wutang and Guozijian will not get along with each other.

These have nothing to do with Jiang Heng, what he needs to care about at this moment is what will be the situation of the next martial arts test?

It shouldn't be like the New Year's banquet in Qingyan Kingdom, where you can find a group of people and start fighting directly.

Jiang Heng found the registration office at the door of the lecture hall and filled in his name. He was allowed to enter the martial arts arena of the martial arts hall to have a look, because he needed to come here tomorrow for the martial arts test.

Therefore, observing the battlefield is also fair to those foreign warriors.

Otherwise, only the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall were familiar with the environment here, which was obviously not a fair thing for the rest of the participants.

After crossing the gate of the martial arts hall, Jiang Heng followed the instructions all the way to the martial arts arena.

Along the way, he didn't get any discrimination or anything like that.

For example, he is an outsider, or he only has the strength to cultivate the martial arts realm, etc.

After arriving all the way to the martial arts arena, the first thing Jiang Heng saw was the statue of the legendary General Wu Mu.

The whole statue seemed to be carved out of a huge extraterrestrial stone.

The material of this stone couldn't even be sensed by Jiang Heng for a while, he was a refiner. And the old ghost is not by his side at the moment, because of the appearance of the woman named Yungu, he has not come back. Even if he couldn't show up during the day, he would rather hide in the dark and watch the woman quietly.

Jiang Heng could feel the extraordinary relationship between this woman and the Ghost King, so he didn't interfere in the Ghost King's decision.

Moreover, he needs to do it all by himself.

At this moment, Jiang Heng stood in front of the statue of General Wu Mu, silently looking at the record of General Wu Mu's life under the statue-

Wu Nai is the surname of the Wuhuang family, and it is the surname of the country.

And General Wu Mu is not a member of the Martial Emperor family, and the reason why he can enjoy the treatment of the national surname is because his father was the first fierce general under the former Martial Emperor, and he defeated the demon clan in the border of the Western Regions, and finally died in the war between the two clans.

Emperor Wu was grateful for his life's achievements, and gave his only son, General Wu Mu, the surname of the country, and enjoyed the treatment of a prince.

However, General Wu Mu was deeply taught by his mother since he was a child, and he never attached importance to his status as a royal family. When he was young, he learned martial arts and literacy, joined the army at the age of 14, and started as a soldier.

During his more than ten years in the army, he experienced military exploits, was promoted to the general of Nanqi, and led the Nanqi army to fight hundreds of battles with the demon tribes on the border of southern Xinjiang in more than ten years.

Subsequently, Emperor Wu was the matchmaker and married the eldest princess of Nanqi.

The husband and wife have guarded the border together for more than ten years, driving horses forward in the flames of war almost every day. During this period, seven sons were born. But he did not enjoy the glory and wealth like the rest of the princes, but fought on the battlefield under the command of General Wu Mu.

Twenty years ago, the demon king Xiyan gathered all the demon kings to detour to the southwest of Nanqi Prefecture, attacking the city all the way, killing the human race, and more than half of the territory of Nanqi Prefecture was occupied.

General Wu Mu, who was transferred to the north by Emperor Wu to defend the northern demon clan, was urgently transferred back, gathered a large army to go south, and successively recovered the three ancient kingdoms, the treasure country, dozens of upper kingdoms, and countless small countries.

He also met the demon coalition army in the last country on the southwest border of southern Xinjiang and fought a bloody battle.

In the end, due to the lack of support, General Wu Mu and his eldest son and third son were killed. There are no bones left, it is said that it was snatched by the demon clan, and its whereabouts are still unknown!

The eldest princess, who suffered the pain of losing her husband and child, in grief, led the soldiers of General Wu Mu's mansion to gallop all the way, and under the strategy of the seventh son of Chu Wang Huaiyu, she attacked the demon camp. Directly led to the collapse and dispersion of the demon alliance, the eldest princess led the remnants of the army to pursue all the way, and finally recaptured all the remaining lost land taken away by the demon clan.

Therefore, in the first battle, Emperor Wu personally made the decision and canonized the eldest princess as the next Nanqi King Zhurong.

Although the remaining five sons of Wu Mu's family are kings, they enjoy the treatment of Emperor Wu's own sons.

......

In this simple record of only a thousand words, Jiang Heng seems to have witnessed a general who serves the country and the people, with great achievements and the brilliance of his life.

He Jiang Heng is not a gentleman, but he respects heroes, especially such a hero in front of him who is enough to stand up to the sky.

He took a few steps back, bowed respectfully to the statue of General Wu Mu, and bowed respectfully.

At this moment, there was a coughing sound from behind the statue.

Jiang Heng didn't feel hostility, so he looked at it calmly.

I saw an old man sweeping the floor coming out from behind the statue, his old face and his old silver-gray hair.

A hint of discoloration flashed, and Jiang Heng stared at the old man sweeping the floor.

When did he appear here?

Why is it here?

He looked like he was sweeping the floor, but his broom never touched the ground, but every time he swung it, there was less dust on the ground.

What a profound cultivation.

Jiang Heng should have guessed that this routine is the most obvious. Historically, in places like this, there have often been some predecessors who are beyond common sense.

Jiang Heng nodded at the old man and bowed to the statue of General Wu Mu again. When he turned around and was about to leave, the old man who swept the floor suddenly asked, "What do you think of this general's life?"

"Red blood stains the yellow sand, the quick knife cuts through the mess, Jin Ge accompanies the iron horse, and the hero has not returned home!"

Jiang Heng looked at the statue and replied loudly.

Obviously, Jiang Heng's reply attracted the attention of the old man who swept the floor.

The old man may have just thought that this young man passing by should be just a junior who admired General Wu Mu.

Come and worship a few times, which is considered to be a respect for the ancestors.

But after these four lines of poetry were recited, it shook his heart. Looking up at the statue of General Nawumu, he said in a vicissitudes of tone: "Jin Ge accompanied the iron horse, and the hero has not returned home...... Yes, this person goes to the battlefield, and it is very difficult for him to come back. ”

Jiang Heng looked at the old man with a vicissitudes on his face, and the old man asked again, "Junior, what's your name?"

Jiang Heng replied, "Jiang Heng!"

The old man nodded: "Let's go, don't forget to come here tomorrow and participate in the martial arts test......"
