Chapter 55: Celebration
The large army walked around the city and finally came to the big school field. Although the royal family claims to have fun with the people, the location of the large school field is limited, and it cannot accommodate the people of the whole city, not to mention that the officials and rich gentry and their relatives and friends have to occupy most of the positions. The only thing that is really open to the people is the north stand.
As soon as the troops entered the big school field, it caused earth-shattering cheers, the people of the Han Dynasty are the most contented people in the world, they do not have high requirements for their army, as long as a small victory, they can talk about it, not to mention such a rare victory.
Since Fang Lingtian signed up for the Black Flag Army to participate in the military parade, Liu Zhengzhong, the commander of the Yellow Dragon Legion who was in charge of this matter, muttered in his heart that he had seen the strength of the Black Flag Army in Lin'an City, and in the same number, there was no unit in the Han Dynasty that could compete with them, so when arranging the queue, he made a move.
Just like at this moment, the lancers of the Red Ocean and the iron cavalry of the Yellow Dragon Legion were lined up at the end of the head and tail, far away from the Black Flag Army, and next to the Black Flag Army were the ignorant Qilin Legion and the Blue Wolf Legion.
At this time, in the Black Flag Army, in addition to Jebe, there were three Andrew brothers, as well as more than 100 masters between the second and third grades. Under the leadership of the Andrew brothers, their group of martial arts masters condensed their momentum into one and radiated it in all directions, and they were all enveloped by their momentum within a certain range.
This kind of scene is definitely a unique spectacle, and no second army or sect can do it.
Even if any sect or family could gather these hundred or so martial arts masters, and invite three first-class masters to compete with Andrew, it would be useless. Because hundreds of people have hundreds of hearts, all those who are strong in martial arts think very highly of themselves and disdain to join forces with others. If you want to gather such a master to give up your dignity, join the army like a small soldier, and you have to unite as one, regardless of personal gains and losses, that is absolutely impossible.
Qilin and the Blue Wolf Legion stayed next to them, feeling the deepest, the leading generals of these two troops had already scolded Liu Zhengzhong in their hearts, but at this moment there was nothing they could do, so they had to hold on and ignore him, of course, they could only turn a blind eye to small problems such as stiff movements of their subordinates, and turned a blind eye.
Seeing the majestic and mighty divisions lined up in front of the stage, both Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the civil and military officials were full of appreciation. This was followed by a ceremony presided over by the Ministry of Rites, which began with the announcement of the results of the great victory and the rewards for the battalions, followed by a series of elaborate ceremonies. Xu Haifeng listened drowsily, and finally waited until the ceremony was over to reach the ** part of the celebration, that is, the military performance.
The performance of this kind of performance is more important than the practical surname, and the performances of each battalion have their own emphasis, such as the 100-step crossing of the Aquila Legion, the equestrian of the Red Sea, the 100-person stick dance of the Blue Wolf Legion, and so on. In this regard, the Black Flag Army is much inferior, and it does not even have a good performance program. It's just that none of the people in the stands who really know the goods dare to underestimate this group of silent black-clothed people.
It had been at least two hours since the first unit began to perform, but all the officers and men of the Black Flag Army stood in the center of the field like stakes, like 500 wooden clay sculptures, and no one moved. With such military discipline, it is enough to make all the generals envious.
After the performance, the armies dispersed, leaving only a large open space in the middle, on top of which a tall wooden platform was built. At this point, everyone knows that the main event is about to begin.
"The emperor has a decree, and the martial arts competition has officially begun. Those who won the first place in the army were rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and sealed 1,000 households. ”
Suddenly, there were three shouts of long live, and all those who had the ability and confidence were gearing up and eager to try. If you overwhelm the crowd in this kind of high-profile occasion, the future will be limitless, even if you can't win the top spot, being able to perform well will also have great benefits for the future career.
There are many heroes in the army, there is no custom of twisting and pinching, and it didn't take long for someone on the wooden platform to start catching and fighting.
According to the previous rules, anyone who has a military status or is recommended by an official of the fifth grade or above can participate in the competition. But everyone only has one chance, which means that once defeated, they cannot come back to power.
The winner automatically becomes the champion, and needs to accept the challenge of others and cannot refuse, however, once he wins seven games in a row, he will successfully hold the ring and obtain the title of champion, so as to enter the palace test, which is the real test of a person's comprehensive ability.
Mainly because the number of participants was too large, the emperor and hundreds of officials could not watch all the time, once the emperor's interest was gone, and he drove back to the palace, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were dispersed. At that time, the entire campus will be divided into five rings for people to choose from. Such a competition will last for three days, and after three days, His Majesty the Emperor will personally preside over the palace examination.
If you hold the ring under the emperor's nose and impress the emperor, then you will have a great advantage when you take the palace test. Of course, everyone knows this truth, and some people with low confidence deliberately avoid this time period, and wait for the ring to be divided into five before taking the stage, and the resistance at that time will be much reduced, as long as there is indeed a certain strength, when they can pass the test smoothly. Because everyone has more opportunities, there is no need to fight hard if the level is between the best.
It didn't take long for the two people fighting in the ring to become a master duel. The two of them were in their thirties, and Xu Haifeng was surprised to find that their kung fu was not under him, which means that they had reached the level of the last first-class master in the rivers and lakes.
In this court, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and any two nobodies have such kung fu. The duel between these two masters attracted the attention of Emperor Han Xian, and seeing His Majesty the Emperor so focused, there was much less noise nearby, and more words of praise and admiration.
Watching their fight, Xu Haifeng also had his eyebrows fluttering, benefiting a lot, and suddenly felt Fang Lingtian's body beside him shake, he looked at it in surprise, only to see a trace of worry on Fang Lingtian's face, and couldn't help but whisper: "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”
With Fang Lingtian's status at this time, he naturally lived alone, and he deliberately brought Xu Haifeng to the same table, which was to announce to everyone that the Black Flag Army was already the Fang family, so don't come to make any more decisions.
Listening to Xu Haifeng's inquiry at this moment, his eyes did not leave the ring, but he just replied in a low voice: "The two people who are fighting on this, the one who guards the ring is Fang Youyan, the rookie who rises in the next generation of our family, and it is Cheng Kuian, the son of the Cheng family, who fights in the ring. ”
It turned out that he was worried about the future of his children, Xu Haifeng answered and didn't speak, anyway, there is Fang Lingtian, the number one boss in the military department, even if Fang Youyan loses, his future achievements may not be under Cheng Kuian.
"The Cheng family is really too deceitful." Fang Lingde said fiercely beside him.
Xu Haifeng was a little strange now, and asked: "Second Uncle (he recognized Fang Lingtian as his father-in-law, so naturally he wants to call Fang Lingde Second Uncle), what did you say?" ”
Fang Lingde said with an unhappy face: "It stands to reason that since You Aya has gone up, then the other three major families should not send people to participate in the competition." But Cheng Kuian actually deceived Aya into losing three people in a row, and stepped forward to challenge when his strength was greatly damaged, isn't that obviously picking up cheap. ”
"Oh......" Xu Haifeng suddenly realized, but he still didn't say a word in his heart, it turned out that several of your great families played tacit understanding with each other, no wonder that most of the people who succeeded in defending each time were children of the four great families.
"It's not good, alas, You'er is going to be defeated, and it's a pity that he can't even enter the palace test with his martial arts. This time it was really too hasty. Fang Lingtian said regretfully.
Xu Haifeng turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that the tall Cheng Kuian was wielding an iron sword, pressing step by step, and Fang Youyan was indeed weak in strength, and he had no power to fight back, so he could only dodge with all his strength, and finally he couldn't dodge, and he kicked him and fell out of the ring.
Xu Haifeng is also sorry for him, Fang Youya has reached the level of a second-class master, there are very few people in the army who can beat him, and he can't even make it to the finals, so he can only blame him for his bad luck.
Fang Lingde looked at Cheng Kuian holding his sword high, his face full of spring breeze, he was annoyed, and said to Xu Haifeng: "Feng'er, you send someone to teach him a lesson, since the Cheng family doesn't let us enter the palace test, I also want them to be planted here." "Fang Lingde has seen Lin Changkong's skills, and knows that with his ability to deal with a Cheng Kuian, it is easy to take it, so he can say it so easily.
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly, if it was other families, he might laugh at it, but the Cheng family.
Since listening to what happened to Lin Wanxian's sister, he didn't have a good impression of the Cheng family in the south.
What's more, since Cheng Yingjie has been moved, then he has formed an enmity with the Cheng family, although they don't know it now, it doesn't mean that they won't find out in the future, so anything that can hit the Cheng family is something he is happy to see. He whispered a few words beside Fang Lingde, Fang Lingde's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Is this serious?" Does he really have that kind of courage? ”
Xu Haifeng nodded and patted his chest, and swore solemnly: "Second uncle, don't worry, no one will dare to lie to you, Qin Yong's brute force is indeed incredible." ”
"Okay, then I'll follow your words and let the juniors of the Cheng family see that our family is not so easy to provoke." After Fang Lingde finished speaking, he got up and walked out, Xu Haifeng hurriedly called Qin Yong, who was busy stuffing food into his mouth behind him, and gave a few orders before letting him follow Fang Lingde.
Of course, their actions couldn't hide from Fang Lingtian, and with Qin Yong's size, it was impossible not to attract attention when he stood up. Not only Cheng Yinghao and others opposite, but even Hanxian Yanjing, who had just watched a fierce fight, paid attention.
Seeing Qin Yong go with the angry Fang Lingde, they all guessed that the second child of the Fang family was already really angry and wanted to get back on the field. Emperor Han Xian looked at Fang and Cheng Erjia with great interest, and dispelled the idea of leaving. The old eunuch beside him had served him for many years, and he knew everything about the actions of this supreme, and immediately filled his cup with wine, and at the same time signaled to postpone his drive.
Gu Dao Beard and Cheng Ming, who had seen Qin Yong's divine power, changed color at the same time, although Cheng Kuian was already a quasi-first-class master, but Qin Yong's innate divine power had reached a terrifying realm that could not be described in words, if the two of them competed, I was afraid that Cheng Kuian would still be negative.
