Chapter 227: Off-the-Scenes Interlude

As Gutian's arm was raised, the war drums in the school military field were beating, shouts rang out, and a young man on horseback and holding a soldier rushed out of the crowd on the east and west sides.

The two of them first walked to the high platform, dismounted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said at the same time: "The villain Jin Cheng (Yang Xiu) knocks to see the adult!"

Lin Haotian, who was sitting on the high platform, looked at Jin Cheng and Yang Xiu, and did not speak, but just waved his hand with a smile.

Jin Cheng and Yang Xiu both got up, each turned over and got on their horses, and fought in the center of the school military field.

The cultivation of the two of them was roughly on the spot, and the martial arts skills they learned also had their own strengths, and the fight was difficult to solve, and they didn't come up with superiority for a while.

Jin and Yang's martial arts are good, and Lin Haotian is also very interested.

When the two of them fought for more than 50 rounds, Jin Cheng took the lead in making a killing move, he pretended to be invincible, and the horse was defeated.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with Jin Cheng's horsetail, at this time, the latter suddenly used a horse pistol, and the silver spear stabbed back, castrating as fast as stone fire and lightning.

Yang Xiu didn't expect him to be a fraud, let alone that he could use the return rifle, he was not prepared enough, he was caught off guard, he couldn't dodge, and was stabbed back by Jin Cheng with a shot in the chest.

Fortunately, the two of them were just competing, not fighting on the battlefield, Jin Cheng's subordinates were merciful, and when the silver spear was about to hit Yang Xiu, he hurriedly withdrew the silver spear.

Even so, the power of his spear's back-stabbing still picked Yang Xiu off his horse.

"Wow-"

There was a burst of cheers from the soldiers of the Jin Army who were watching the battle, and the soldiers of the Jin Army had no tendency to stand up, anyway, whoever won would cheer for whomever they wanted.

After Yang Xiu fell from his horse, he slowed down for a while and stood up, looking at Jin Cheng, who was riding on the horse and raising his gun around. He shook his head and said with a red face: "I lost!" After speaking, like a defeated rooster, he dragged his long knife, walked back to the war horse, and walked lonely down the battlefield with the reins.

The loser exits gloomily. The winner naturally enjoyed the glory, cheers and applause.

The contest between Jin Cheng and Yang Xiu ended in Chen Xiu's victory, and the second group of contests was held next, Ling Hu Gao against Wu Tao.

Like Jin and Yang, Ling Hu Gao and Wu Tao also went to the high platform before the competition, and dismounted to salute Lin Haotian.

Ling Hu Gao's cultivation was not recorded on the list, and Lin Haotian couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

He was not tall, but he was extremely stocky, with a stout build, and he used a Heaven Opening Halberd. This halberd is pitch black, it is made of meteorite iron, it is thick and long, at least it has to weigh more than a hundred catties, ordinary people can't pick it up at all, and it has to be carried by two people together, but Ling Hu Gao is holding it with one hand, and the heavy halberd is as light as nothing in his palm.

That's all there is to it. Lin Haotian dared to assert that this person was born with divine power.

He sat down in his chair and leaned forward slightly. While waving his hand to make the two of them get up, he also asked curiously, "Linghu Gao, what is the state of your cultivation?"

Ling Hu Gao did not answer, but arched his hand and said: "My lord, the villain wants to impeach Wang Kai." ”

Lin Haotian was stunned by his inexplicable words, and after a pause, he suddenly remembered who Wang Kai was, and Wang Kai was the head of Changyu County. It's just that what makes him feel strange is how did Wang Kai offend Ling Hugao?

Lin Haotian smiled indifferently and asked, "Ling Hugao, why do you want to impeach Lord Wang?"

Ling Hu Gao frowned and said, "Back to the adult, the villain has no interest in joining the army. I don't want to go into battle to fight, this time the adult issued a martial arts order, and the villain did not sign up to participate, but Wang Kai actually registered the villain privately in order to fight for face, and forced the villain to come to the competition, hoping that the adult would find out!"

Oh, there's such a thing......

The smile on Lin Haotian's face froze, and at this time, Chu Lianyu on the side hurriedly bent down and whispered in Lin Haotian's ear: "My lord, this is indeed the case, and the last general also knows, but Lord Wang has already greeted the last general in advance, maybe Lord Wang does have the intention of using Ling Hu Gao to fight for face for Changyu County, but it is true that Ling Hu Gao is also a master of martial arts, such a talent, if it is buried in the people, it cannot be used by the country, it is a pity, so although the last general knew about it, he did not stop it, and still let Lord Wang bring him." ”

"En?" After Lin Haotian heard this, he let out a dissatisfied question, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Lian Yu, why are you so confused, no matter how strong Ling Hu Gao's martial arts are, since he is unwilling to join the army, he can't force him, otherwise the propaganda will be opened, who will dare to cultivate the martial arts of my Jin Kingdom in the future?"

"This ...... There is also truth in what the adults say. Chu Lianyu naturally understood what he said, but for the war-torn Jin Kingdom, the underworld martial arts talent was too lacking, and it was not easy to dig out one in Changyu County, and he didn't want to put it back in his heart.

Lin Haotian sighed secretly, glanced at Chu Lianyu, then stood up, walked to the front of the high platform, looked at Ling Hu Gao below, and said: "Ling Hu Gao, this matter is known to the marshal, Lord Wang forced you to come here is also the meaning of the marshal, as the saying goes, learn literature and martial arts, then sell the emperor's family, now the king is in trouble, other countries are in chaos, our army relies on its own strength, although it protects the king from being harmed by the rebellious ministers, but it also puts the Jin country in danger." Ben Shuai hopes that you can use your good skills, serve the country, and be loyal to the country, of course, if you refuse, Ben Shuai will never force you, the cost you come here are paid by Ben Shuai, in addition, Ben Shuai will also send someone to send you home. ”

Ling Hu Gao didn't expect Lin Haotian to say such a thing, he is not a simple martial artist, but he has been smart and clever since he was a child, well-read, and has seen people, just now seeing Lin Haotian's stunned reaction, he can be 100% sure that Lin Haotian doesn't know about this, but when he speaks, he takes all the things on himself, and he is obviously defending the people below.

Generally speaking, the generals in the army are extremely famous, and the people below make mistakes, and it is too late to push them outward, and few army commanders will take the fault on themselves, and Lin Haotian's reaction surprised him. In addition, Lin Haotian's easy-going is also quite beyond his expectations, he has heard a lot of rumors about Lin Haotian, and feels that he is a person with strong wrists, a sharp style and a ruthless person, such a person may be a good commander for the current Jin Guo, but it does not mean that he is a good person, Ling Hu Gao does not want to die for such a person, but when I see Lin Haotian today, I feel that he is completely different from the Lin Haotian in his impression.

Seeing that he was standing below speechless for a long time, Lin Haotian smiled again, and said quietly: "Ling Hugao, if you want to go home now, you can leave immediately, Ben Shuai will not stop you, if you want to go after the competition, you can naturally do it, everything is up to you." With that, he stepped back into his chair and sat down slowly.

Ling Hu Gao came back to his senses, glanced deeply at Lin Haotian on the stage, was silent for a moment, and he arched his hand and said, "My lord, the villain is willing to continue to compete!"

"Okay!" Lin Haotian smiled, if Ling Hu Gao left without a competition, the scene would be really embarrassing, and he couldn't explain it to the soldiers of the new army around him.

He nodded with a smile and said in a loud voice: "Whether you want to serve the country or not, whether you want to stay in the army or not, I hope that you can show your real skills, and let the soldiers present see the demeanor of my golden hero!"

Ling Hu Gao's heart fluttered, he didn't say a word, bowed down and gave a deep salute, then lifted the halberd and got on the horse, and hugged his fist to Wu Tao, who was still standing stupidly in place and didn't understand the situation, and said: "Brother Wu, please get on the horse and fight!"

Wu Tao suddenly came back to his senses, he looked at Lin Haotian, and then at Ling Hugao, pursed his mouth, picked up his knife and got on the horse, and walked to the center of the school military field with Ling Hugao.

He was not convinced, what ability did Ling Hu Gao have to get such courtesy from adults, and he could come and leave if he wanted to, and he was simply unpopular.

He held his breath, and after going to the battlefield, he didn't say a word, urged the horse to pick up the knife, and rushed straight towards Ling Hugao.

"Roarβ€”"

As there was a new competition on the battlefield, the surrounding Jin soldiers shouted in unison, especially when they saw Wu Tao's series of agile movements, the cheers shook the sky, and the war drums beat like popping beans.

Said it was late, that was fast, in an instant, Wu Tao had rushed to the front of Ling Hu Gao, the spirit knife was raised, the light was shining, and the sword was released from top to bottom.

Unleashing a whirlwind of knives at such a close range is extremely difficult for opponents to resist, and this is also a style of play that borders on desperately.

The soldiers watching the battle around inhaled one after another, their shouts stopped, and their eyes looked at the two people on the battlefield without blinking. (To be continued......)
