Chapter 495: Crowds

On the official road near Longxiang Temple, people come and go, and it is a busy scene.

People rushed in the direction of the mountains, and the tide of people occupied most of the official road, leaving only a narrow spot on the opposite side of the road for the occasional horse-drawn carriage to walk.

In previous years, only in the year of the catastrophe, could we see such a large-scale migration of people, but today it is different, people walking on the official road are smiling, children are chasing and playing with their cars, and the immature face has an innocent smile.

If you listen carefully, you will soon understand that these people of the big merchants are rushing to the mountains to visit the last key game of the Shangwu Competition-the survival match.

"Needless to say, the champion of the survival competition this time must still be from our Longxiang Academy, we won three championships in a row, and we don't even need to count the scores, we must be the first place!"

In this team, most of the people are fans of Longxiang Academy, Longxiang Academy is located near the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, and it has naturally become a college supported by the people of Chaoge City, not to mention that Longxiang Academy is also the premier top college of the Great Shang Dynasty, the strength is strong, and in previous years, it was often for the Great Shang Dynasty to achieve good results in the top competition in the land of China for the Great Shang Dynasty, and it is people's mentality to support the strong, and there are many supporters of the Longxiang Academy, which is also understandable.

"Even if we give up the competition, as long as the Xuanniao Academy doesn't win the championship, the final big competition championship is still ours. Win a place casually, get some points, and you can win the championship, this year's Dabi Longxiang Academy is really too strong!"

"That is, before the big competition, the 'World Bureau' was always preaching, Chu Hongjiao of Xuanniao Academy was the favorite to win the individual competition, and the team competition of Qingfeng Academy must be very good, and as a result, didn't we all let our Longxiang Academy take it away? Bragging is better than those colleges, but it can't compare to our Longxiang Academy!"

Words like these constantly rang out in the crowd. Occasionally, supporters from other academies were mixed in the team, and when they heard these bad words, they could only hold their breath and dare not say a word, otherwise they would be besieged by many supporters of the Longxiang Academy around them.

On the official road, from time to time, fast horses rushed over, and giant eagles often flew in the sky, leaving huge shadows on the ground, attracting countless cheers and a group of children chasing.

People didn't notice that the warriors on the fast horses and giant eagles all had serious expressions, completely different from the smiling pedestrians on the official road, as if they were going through a year of great calamity, and their expressions were as serious as in wartime.

The team is like a long dragon, occupying the entire official road, and when the people of Longxiang Yuan come to the official road, they are also stretched out of the line before they can blend into the flow of people.

"So many people?" Xia Yi stood in the line, looking forward and backward, he couldn't see the end from afar, he could only see the long black line stretching into the distance, and the scalps of the people watching were numb.

Tu Shifang has been by Xia Yi's side since he set off, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is why Elder Lian advised His Majesty to suspend the competition, so many people have poured into the trial land to watch the competition, if something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Xia Yi corrected Tu Shifang's statement: "The reason used by Elder Lian is not these people, but the lives of a large number of contestants. "Book House

Tu Shifang turned his head, looked at Xia Yi, and said seriously: "That's because Elder Lian knows very well that in Your Majesty's mind, the future stars of the Great Shang Dynasty are far more important than those ordinary people. ”

Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Tu Shifang.

Tu Shifang looked at Xia Yi and narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Can't you see it, is it? This is nothing strange, even the elder is different from more than eighty percent of the teachers and students in Longxiang Academy, he is from an ordinary family, relying on luck and talent, he became a martial artist, and was lucky to enter Longxiang Academy." He cares more about ordinary people than ordinary people, and he lives more clearly than ordinary people, and knows what means are needed to do what things. This time, he was forced to be in a hurry, and he had no choice but to desperately persuade His Majesty, but in the end he still failed to persuade His Majesty. ”

Xia Yi found that he really lacked understanding of Elder Lian, it turned out that Elder Lian was so "stubborn" in persuading Emperor Shang, and there was such an inside story.

Tu Shifang continued: "When Elder Lian was promoted to Elder of the Elder Regiment, many people opposed it, do you know why?"

Xia Yi replied casually: "According to what you said, it is because he has no background and backing, and he was born in an ordinary family. ”

Tu Shifang nodded, and said appreciatively: "That's the reason, the elder of the Longxiang Elder Group, this kind of identity is the goal that all big families and dignitaries covet, how can it be that an ordinary kid can be snatched away? ”

Xia Yi thought of a lot of things in his mind for a moment, he smiled silently, and said, "At that time, Dean Wu Liang was already the dean, right?"

Tu Shifang looked at the corners of Xia Yi's slightly upturned mouth, and understood that he had figured it out in his heart, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You can guess this?"

Xia Yi exhaled lightly and said, "It's not unreasonable that so many people respect the dean so much. ”

Tu Shifang said approvingly: "That's right, the dean has always insisted that those civilian-born warriors are the foundation of the glorious future of the Great Shang Dynasty, and it is precisely this that after His Majesty ascended the throne, he still invited the dean to sit in charge, and did not replace anyone else." ”

Xia Yi nodded, he also knew this, Longxiang Academy was located in the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, and it was essentially still an academy for teaching martial artists, but in fact, its nature was more of a resource in the hands of the Great Shang Emperor, a resource that affected the martial artists of the Great Shang Dynasty. After each generation of Dashang Emperors ascended the throne, they would replace the dean of Longxiangyuan with their own people, so as to ensure that when guiding the direction of the wind, Longxiangyuan could obey the command of the Dashang Emperor, and the warriors of the Dashang Dynasty could follow behind the Dashang Emperor by waving the banner.

After Emperor Shang ascended the throne, he did not change the president of Longxiang Academy, which is enough to show that the original Emperor Shang trusted President Wu Liang very much, and the concept was quite similar.

It's just that those are "back then".

Xia Yi looked at the long queue of people, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I hope that nothing will happen today that will make the dean sad." ”
