XXXVII. There will be another fight
It takes nearly a month to travel from Youzhou in the Tang Kingdom to Yanzhou in the Snow Country, and Ouyang Zhen has another task on the road, that is, to introduce the Snow Country and the rules of survival on the Fighting Continent in more detail.
When the moon is on the willows, the three of them wander around the lakeside, expressing their nostalgia for the moon, beautiful and happy!
When the sun rises three poles, the three horses step on the dust, and the wind is whistling, beautiful and fast!
Chu Ye and Xia Bing rarely did not kill in so many days, and now they only travel, only enjoy the scenery and the market and folk customs along the way, and they are in a good mood. Talk and laugh along the way, the world is big, and you can gallop at will!
I will soon arrive at the border between the Tang Kingdom and the Snow Country, and I will see the yellow sand flying in front of me, and the dust will be all over the sky, isn't it a sandstorm?
"Let's not leave today, let's take a rest, reorganize and recuperate, and step into the snow country tomorrow!"
Ouyang Zhen also had a ripple in his eyes, although the dean didn't have specific requirements for going to the Snow Country, he just said that he would do his best, but he knew that this trip to the Snow Country was to represent the country, and it was not terrible to lose, but at least he had to fight for the top three, if Tang Guo couldn't even get the third place, he would be to blame.
Fancheng Academy's record over the years is the best in the Tang Kingdom, but the royal family rarely lets Fancheng Academy send more students to play, because in addition to the competition itself, the rookie competition is also a kind of gold plating for students, and in the future resume, there will be an extra honor with high gold content, representing the country, and this kind of competition is relatively safe, even if you are injured, you are injured for the country, and the wound will become a medal!
It can be said that the task of Fancheng Academy is to get the top three, and the other Tang students who participated in the competition were not very competitive, especially the royal families and noble children sent by Yingzhou.
Ouyang Zhen looked at the two teenagers, the secret realm is usually the first lesson for new students, anyone who can pass this test will have a good record in the newcomer competition, and it is not a big problem to get a second or third place.
This year, these two little guys have benefited a lot from the secret realm, and they actually got thirteen soul powers!
In fact, the purpose of letting new students enter the secret realm with almost no cultivation is to stimulate their most powerful potential, Xia Bing has combat power before entering the secret realm, which is also the consideration of the academy. Every year, the academy sends a capable cadet to join the ranks of the newcomers, so that not only can they be protected, but also survival training can be carried out to a greater extent!
There are few secret realms, and even fewer such cruel training methods.
If you are not afraid of dying in the secret realm, the academy will summon the soul and restore the body!
If a new student who joins the Fancheng Academy is not afraid of life and death, can still unite and advance together, and break through the world in the secret realm, then he will not only make rapid progress in his future cultivation, but also achieve beautiful results in this annual rookie competition!
"Is it a sandstorm?"
Chu Ye pointed into the distance.
"It should be."
Ouyang Zhen glanced at the flying sand in the sky.
"This border city is called Shayanguan. As the name suggests, the checkpoints are full of battlefield conquests, gunsmoke, and of course, there are many winds and sands. Although the sandstorm is terrifying, there will always be a time to pass, but when the war will start and when it will stop, it is not as predictable as the sandstorm!
Ouyang Zhen's eyes were full of memories, he had experienced war and parting. Today, I came to this sand smoke pass again, and I had a feeling in my heart.
The three of them walked into Shayan Pass. Although it is adjacent to the snow country and far from Middle-earth, it is extremely prosperous, and the two countries are tense in wartime and trade with each other during rest, after all, each has its own needs. There are many furs in the north, many handicrafts and silk fabrics in the middle and earth, and the border guards will not stop them, because not only can they make the local people's lives stable, but also take the opportunity to find out the intelligence of the snow country.
Although there have been wars at the border in the past few decades, they are all small frictions, compared with the past, the current Shayan Pass is relatively peaceful, and the guards are not very strict, as long as they do not carry a large number of weapons, they can enter with a seal on their bodies.
In the last city in the north of the Tang Kingdom, the feeling of parting quietly arose in the cries of selling on the streets.
"Find a place to settle down first, and then come out and take a walk!"
Ouyang Zhen saw the two little guys thinking to himself, "What's so novel about this, when I go to the Snow Country tomorrow, that is the real exotic style!" ”
Chu Ye and Xia Bing's thoughts were pulled back, and they stepped on the wide battle path paved with bluestone bricks, and sighed lightly with the reins in their hands.
"Nanyuan!" The name of this inn is very chic, so let's choose this.
"Mr. Ouyang, do you think this Nanyuan will be opened by the people of the Shan Kingdom?" Chu Ye asked what Xia Bing thought.
"That's why I wanted to go in and take a look, in the border, people from all over the world are mixed, and a merchant who dares to call a merchant whose name is so easy to identify is not a mortal after all."
Ouyang Zhen led two beautiful teenagers into the Nanyuan Inn.
"Third master, is this going to stay in the hotel?"
The shopkeeper bent down and smiled, the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible from the habit of laughing all year round.
"Three, oh no, two upper rooms."
Ouyang Zhen glanced at Chu Ye.
"Great!" Xiao Er draped a white towel over his right shoulder, and the snow was as bright as new.
The horses were handed over to the guys in the backyard, and the three of them followed Xiao Er upstairs.
The business of this inn is really good, and people with different accents gather together, so lively.
The rooms on the first floor were all full, and after Chu Ye and the others moved in, there was only one room left.
"Your business is really good, and they are all repeat customers?"
Chu Ye gave full play to his strengths and chatted with people.
"This little brother, now it is the Snow Country Rookie Competition, many people want to join in the fun, the world has been peaceful in the past few years, this is no longer a war, people like to watch the war, don't you say strange?"
Chu Ye was amused by Xiao Er's words, yes, people in the Taiping era want to see what the battle looks like, people may have this habit, they don't want to have it when they get it, and they feel new when they are not around.
The South Garden has two floors, which is not too big and not gorgeous. But when you are in it, you always feel inexplicably relaxed, as if you are living in the house of a long-lost relative. The shop is exceptionally clean and clean, but it is sure to make you feel at home.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them were already in the middle of the street.
"Mr. Ouyang, I don't dare to go shopping?" Chu Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the sun that was biased towards noon.
"It's a novelty, let's hear it." Ouyang Zhen felt that this little guy was looking for trouble again.
"I fight when I go shopping, I don't want to hit people." Chu Ye's face is really thick.
"Then it's beaten." Xia Bing was charged coldly.
Ouyang Zhen laughed, he naturally knew about Chu Ye's affairs in Youzhou City.
"When you go out, keep a low profile, try not to cause trouble, and don't mess around."
Ouyang Zhen was really afraid that these two little killers would do something difficult again.
After strolling around for a while, Chu Ye said, "Why haven't there been bad guys?" Hey, there's no fight to fight! ”
"Let's eat! If you don't eat enough, you don't have the strength to fight! ”
The ridicule between teachers and students has become commonplace, and the beautiful arc of Xia Bing's lips is like the curve of the sea and the sky.
"Drunken Immortal Building", I also like this name, go in to eat now, and you will be immortals in the future!
At noon, the tavern was full, the hall was loudly greeting guests, and the dishes were presented in front of the talkers, and the diners picked up chopsticks and feasted.
The three of them easily sat down in the northeast corner of the first floor, with irregular stripes in the red of the square tabletop, I don't know if the sand smoke pass is also red in the square city!
The three of them all felt that this location was just right, not showing the mountain dew, and they could also hear all kinds of news near the water.
"Hey, I said Sixth, you just said that there is a master hidden among the people who participated in the competition this year?" A man dressed in Tang costumes but a bit like a big man in the northern snow country said.
"What is Tibet, people are justifiably participating! But I heard that it's quite powerful, but we don't know how to do it this year? "The sixth child is bald, and he has a pair of triangular eyes that people don't want to look at again.
The voice came from the next table, and there were four people at the table, all of whom were supposed to be locals, because they spoke openly and without scruples.
"Hey, I heard, I just heard that one of the ten people in our Tang Kingdom who participated in the competition this time was a woman, fourteen or fifteen years old, that look, old and handsome, I don't know if it's powerful? Let's go see it tomorrow too? ”
It was a filthy man of forty or fifty years of age, with half-squinted eyes, who glanced at the guests at the other tables from time to time, and sometimes even the passers-by on the road.
"Don't keep looking at it, that's how your eyes look bad, right?" This person speaks very loudly.
When the dirty man's gaze swept to Chu Ye's side, he was stunned for a moment, and the whole person seemed to be nailed.
Ouyang Zhen was facing the door, and Chu Ye and Xia Bing were facing the door, so it was safest to sit like this. At this moment, the greedy gaze of the filthy man was all captured by the three of them, and Chu Ye and Xia Bing invariably looked at Ouyang Zhen in unison.
"Here's the food!" Xiao Er brought up a few plates of steaming side dishes and a pot of wine very well, and the dirty man had to withdraw his gaze, but he peeked at it from time to time.
The room was very noisy, Ouyang Zhen lowered his voice through Xiao Er's figure and said: "You pay attention, these four people are not locals, it seems that they are deliberately finding fault, if I am not mistaken, Snow Country is deliberately preventing some young geniuses from entering the country!" ”
Chu Ye observed carefully, and found that although the four of them had a loud voice, they drank very little wine, as if they had come here just to chat.
At this time, the words came again.
"Hey, Old Seven, how is Snow Country this year?"
The speaker picked up the glass and put it down.
"Snow Country is very powerful this year, I heard that there is a prince named Tuoba Cloud who is particularly capable of fighting, and now there are snow country men under the age of twenty, no one is his opponent, known as the first warrior of Snow Country! And he's only fifteen years old! ”
"It looks like there's a good show to watch this year, come on, come on, drink!"
The four of them really drank it this time, and they drank it all.
"Eat quickly, get out of here quickly, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Ouyang Zhen had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them quickly finished eating, got up and prepared to leave.
"Brother Chu!"
Whoops!
Chu Ye looked for a voice, and at a table not far from the door sat a man in a green shirt, fifteen or sixteen years old, heroic.
"Brother Gu!"
Chu Ye looked at Gu Cheng's heart and felt hot, he met his old acquaintance in a foreign land! With a smile on his face, he walked straight towards Gu Cheng.
The filthy man let Chu Ye pass, but stretched out his feet and tripped Xia Bing, who was following Chu Ye. Xia Bing didn't seem to see it, his right foot took advantage of the momentum, and his body fell lightly behind Chu Ye.
The four of them stood up suddenly, "Girl, why are you stepping on my feet?" ”
The filthy man cried out in pain, "It hurts me to death, little girl, are you going to trample me to death?" ”
The expression of the man in Tsing Yi froze, and he was going to fight again?
