Just after the sound of gongs and drums, two men and a woman hurriedly walked into the martial arts arena after the martial arts arena, and they should have stepped in.

Liu Xin stood in the crowd and glanced at them.

In the end, they caught up, and the woman also came in, indicating that they still grabbed a token at the last moment.

To be honest, their cultivation is still good.

After all, the martial artists who can stand here are basically the low-grade Dacheng realm, and everyone's cultivation is about the same.

But in terms of combat power, it is far from the same, but no one knows how strong the combat power of others is.

And those who were able to grab a token at the last moment were definitely strong.

What Liu Xin didn't know was that in the last cup of tea that burned out of the big incense, nearly a hundred people came out of the barracks outside the barracks, and everyone fought in front of the guards at the gate of the barracks, and many people stared at the last moment to fish in troubled waters to see if they could fight a token to enter the barracks.

As a result, under the strength of Wu Chu'an and Mei Kaixu, half of the nearly 100 people fell to the ground with heavy injuries, and the rest did not dare to provoke these two murderous young men.

Everyone is just fighting for breath, unlike these two people who are completely desperate, and they don't know who provoked them.

In the end, the three of them entered the barracks, and the others did not dare to lift their steps until the incense burned out, and the gongs and drums representing the end of the first round sounded, and these people outside the barracks were disqualified from the competition.

As another drum beat sounded, soldiers began to enter in an orderly manner around the arena.

Soon a soldier went up to a high platform and began to take a roll call.

After the roll call, Liu Xin saw that more than a dozen people couldn't hold on and collapsed, and a doctor immediately took them away.

The person who presided over the next martial arts competition here was still Weng Shanliang, he grinned, and said in a loud voice as always:

"You are doing a good job, eighty percent of the people arrived, and one percent of them are warriors.

Your eligibility needs to be further verified, so you can rest here for the next two hours.

There are 500 tents in the barracks, and you can choose freely! ”

With that, Weng Zhiliang left with a team of armor soldiers.

Liu Xin only began to look at the military camp in front of him at this moment.

He'd never seen a full-fledged barracks in his life.

When they were in the Hanzhong horse farm, they lived in tents, which were for non-combatants, which was different from the real soldiers.

After Wen Bingliang left, the crowd naturally dispersed.

Those who have a wider network will call friends to get together.

There are not a few people who gather around to discuss in groups of threes, threes, twos, and twos.

Of course, there are also some withdrawn personalities, who leave around the crowd and enter a certain tent and go directly to rest.

Liu Xin saw that Shan Si and the others also got together, but their expressions were relatively indifferent.

On the contrary, after Shan Si saw Liu Xin, he said hello here.

Then Liu Xin saw that he seemed to say something to the others, and then walked towards here alone.

may know that Liu Xin and others are not familiar with each other, so he did not take the initiative to call him over.

"Brother Liu, what trouble did you encounter along the way? I think you're here at the last minute.

To be honest, I really sweated for you when I didn't see you. ”

Liu Xin smiled and said:

"It's okay, there were some small troubles on the way, but fortunately they were all solved smoothly.

What happened to you on your way here? ”

Shan Si shook his head and said:

"This time, the Zhengyang martial arts competition is really boring, and those people don't dare to step forward when they see us. On the way we came, we were intercepted several times, but when they saw us, they left on their own.

And, it seems, our portraits have all been leaked out!

We caught two warriors and questioned us, only to find out that the underworld had already made a bet on us.

The bet is that we will be unharmed in the first round!

I heard that many people have bet, and they can get two cents for nothing.

Because there are many people who bet on this, those people in the martial arts don't dare to take us as a target!

We even tried to stay where we were or spread out, hoping that they would come and trouble us, but there was none! ”

Liu Xin smiled and said:

"Isn't that a good thing?

After all, this Zhengyang martial arts competition is more special.

It's good to do this now, save energy. ”

Shan Si nodded helplessly and said:

"It's really special, but there's no need to be in such a hurry to put us under the command of the Duke of Qin."

Liu Xin asked with some curiosity:

"Then you don't want to belong to the line of Qin Guogong, so who do you want to belong to?"

Single Four says:

"I didn't mean that.

Of course, our fathers are the hardcores that belong to Qin Guogong.

But in our generation, when we really rose, the Duke of Qin had already retired, so who would we go with at that time?

Do we have to follow the others?

Can't we be that banner ourselves and let everyone else follow us? ”

"Brother Shan is really ambitious!"

Liu Xin joked with a smile.

Shan Si glanced at Liu Xin curiously and asked:

"Doesn't Brother Liu have this kind of ambition?

We all know that Qin Guogong is very interested in making you his successor.

Although we don't understand why, in terms of personal cultivation alone, at least I'm convinced.

Moreover, I thought that Brother Liu, you were about the same age as me.

But this time, Brother Shui and his parents investigated the personal information of the seed contestants of this martial arts competition to show us.

Until this moment, we didn't know that Brother Liu, you were only twenty-one years old this year.

He is so much younger than me, but his cultivation power is already above me.

And the experience of the rivers and lakes, life experience seems to be above me, I really can't understand how you did it? ”

In the end, Shan Si couldn't help but start sighing.

Liu Xin smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he didn't know why he was so old.

It seems that since he was taken in by his master and entered the Holy Sect that year, he has suddenly grown up.

Although sometimes he is still unreliable and a little out of his mind, on the whole, he is much more mature than his peers.

It was also because of this that he was able to manage the other disciples as the Holy Sect's senior brother.

Only then can the other disciples be convinced of him.

Because everyone really thinks that Liu Xin is a senior brother, a generation higher than them.

Suddenly, Shan Si seemed to feel something, and he looked back at Zheng Xiao and them.

Zheng Xiao said hello here, and then the rest of the people scattered.

"Otherwise, the two of us will find a tent to rest in.

I don't know what the rules are for the rest of the competition.

This time, even our parents didn't tell us anything.

It is said that this time in the Zhengyang martial arts, even His Majesty the Emperor and Mi Titu participated in the formulation of the rules.

This time, Wubi is indeed going to select some young seeds from the many contestants as reserves in the army.

Therefore, the difficulty of this Zhengyang martial arts competition is much higher than in previous years.

Those who are opportunistic are doomed to fail, and this time they are mainly selected as military reserves, as if to prepare for the war that is about to take place in the future.

Therefore, the subjects selected will definitely be more militarized.

Liu Xin smiled and said:

"You've told me so much, aren't you afraid?"

Shan Si scratched his head suspiciously:

"Afraid of what?"

Liu Xindao:

"Zhengyang Wubi is still a personal competition in the end, and you are telling me so much information for free now, won't it make you have a strong opponent for nothing?"

Shan Si smiled and said:

"If that's the case, then I can't ask for it.

My fifth brother said it. If I had been smooth sailing, then the final achievement would be similar to that of my fifth brother.

If you want to be comparable to my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother.

It still takes some tempering, and the best thing is to learn from a young man like Brother Liu and see if there is anything to learn from.

There's so much to learn from you.

This is what my fifth brother said!

He is now also transforming in the direction of my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother.

There can be no mistake in his words. ”

"To be honest, sometimes I really envy your single eight brothers.

Unlike me, I grew up without a father or mother, with only one sister. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xin's expression suddenly dimmed.

"Brother Liu, you actually have a younger sister!

There are eight of us brothers, although there are many people, but usually the eldest brother is still too many years behind us, and there is inevitably a gap between them.

Therefore, they are more like two generations to each other.

It is undeniable that there are many benefits of having more brothers, and there will be many conveniences in the past life.

But there are also many troubles! ”

"But you're not royal." 刘新 says:

"Heaven is ruthless, but you can share weal and woe, life and death together as a family.

After all, no matter what you do, you have a place to rely on and a destination.

And I'm just a rootless pinch. ”

Shan Si thought of the description of Liu Xin's family in the information he saw.

I lost my parents when I was a child, and I was raised by my grandmother in the countryside when I was a teenager, and later I met an old monk who taught me skills.

Later, his uncle, that is, Liu Baihu, the old Jinyiwei, was seriously ill, so he convened Liu Xin from his hometown and became Jinyiwei.

Soon after becoming a brocade guard, he helped crack the case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Since then, it has been a blockbuster.

But no matter how high his achievements are, he has no family after all.

There is less spiritual sustenance, but fortunately, Liu Xin said that he still has a sister. As long as there are relatives alive, there is still hope in life.

"Okay, anyway, would you like to team up with me?

Maybe the current grouping will be the key to the next game. Shan Si asked again.

Liu Xin nodded almost without thinking about it.

But he wondered, "Why don't you team up with them?" ”

Shan Si glanced back and said, "I think what my fifth brother said is right." If you want to grow, another way is to follow a strong person, except for Brother Shui, no one else on my side is very good.

Brother Shui is a loner, and no one looks down on him, hey. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think all the people on your side are weak."

"They are not weak, but they lack exercise, they lack experience.

To put it simply, they haven't experienced anything, like well-tended flowers in a garden, which can't withstand strong winds and waves. ”

"What about me?" Liu Xin asked with a smile.

Shan Si said solemnly: "It's me who used an inappropriate analogy. Brother Liu, you are like a snow lotus on the cold cliff. The wind can't be extinguished, the rain can't die, and the cold winter wax moon is still born to the sun. ”

"I can't afford such a good evaluation of a single brother!"

"I only have comments in my heart!" Shan Si is still extremely serious, this conclusion was actually summarized by his fifth brother for him, but he felt that what his fifth brother said was right.

Together with Shan Si, he chose a tent at random.

After Liu Xin entered, the two began to exchange some interesting things about each other casually.

Of course, this process did not last long, and Liu Xin began to meditate and cultivate.

He uses the internal force in his body to quickly recover his physical strength and replenish his internal strength to reach the most perfect level.

Last time, I was there exercising in a strange way.

After Liu Xin finished cultivating, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shan, what kind of cultivation method are you?" ”

"Brother Liu should know the horizontal training technique, right? This method is not as domineering as the horizontal cultivation technique, but it can also achieve a certain refining effect after years of cultivation.

The key is that the wear and tear on the body in this way is relatively low. ”

Liu Xin was surprised, even if he was reserved with authentic exercises, there was no such technique, and the meaning of the world's great men was magical.

A single Holy Sect cannot summarize the entire Jianghu Martial Arts.

This is the true charm of the rivers and lakes!

"If Brother Liu is interested, I might as well teach you."

"It's not good."

"It's okay, these are just a few tips that I've accumulated from decades of experience as a dart master in Yuanwei Dart.

It's not a profound exercise.

In the end, it is also a realm of small physical training, and the more effect is to maintain the stability of body functions.

At the same time, it strengthens the body, so many ordinary signs have practiced this. It can greatly enhance their physical fitness. ”

Shan Si said so, and Liu Xin no longer shirked.

Shan Si is really not wrong, the methods he teaches are really not complicated, and some of them are even some of the operations that ordinary people usually exercise.

For example, the training movements evolved from planting, planting rice, etc.

However, these movements are extremely streamlined after being improved by countless dart masters in the Yuanwei Dart Bureau, and at the same time they contain a kind of power, even with Liu Xin's physique, after doing a set, he feels hot.

Although the effect of refining the body is not large, it is an additional boost.

Liu Xin got up and thanked Shan Si, and Shan Si waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite.

Just when everyone was resting in the tent, on a hillside about five miles outside the barracks, about two hundred iron cavalry guards, the eldest prince and the Jin State Hou Shangguan Ba rode their horses to the highest place, and here they overlooked the military camp five miles away.

"Master, why did you bring me here?" The eldest prince asked.

He has already completed the apprenticeship ceremony, and as a return gift, Shangguan Ba directly used all his internal force as a guide to pry the second pulse of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince will be able to enter the Dacheng realm smoothly in a few days.

And the price is that Shangguan Ba's internal strength is completely free for three days, this requirement is specially requested by Mi Yusong, although Shangguan Ba knows that these three days will definitely not be peaceful, but he still does it without scruples.

Of course, there are several reasons, one of which is that he does have the intention to accept the eldest prince as an apprentice, and this wish has been there even since the eldest prince was born.

No matter how strong and loyal he is, there is a Jianghu sect behind him.

The imperial court can't be 100% at ease with him, just like this time, in the face of the impending storm, he can only self-destruct his cultivation in order to make others feel at ease, and also block their mouths that they are trying to spray indiscriminately because they accept the prince as a disciple.

Of course, this is also the last time, Shangguan Ba has already proven his loyalty, and if anyone doubts him again in the future, he will not be recognized by others.

The second reason is, of course, for the inheritance of the Shangguan family, in the final analysis, he is also the head of the family, Emperor Wu City is his father's foundation, Shangguan Ba actually doesn't value it, he values the entire Shangguan family.

Accepting the eldest prince as an apprentice actually means that he stands behind the eldest prince and supports the eldest prince.

In the future, the eldest prince will rise to the dragon, and the Shangguan family can truly become a inheritance family, rather than a martial arts family.

"Look at the second round of the competition!"

The eldest prince looked at the military camp in the distance and frowned.

"Isn't it going to be an hour before the second round begins?"

As the prince, he can receive first-hand news about Zhengyang Wubi all the way.

Weng Bingliang was clearly talking about resting for two hours, and now it has only passed an hour.

Shangguan Ba stood with his hands in his hands, the scarlet cloak behind him was hunting in the wind, he looked at the dark light gradually rising in the distant sky, and said with a smile:

"Zhengyang Wubi is so easy, could it be that he Weng Bingliang said that he would rest for two hours and rest for two hours?

I don't understand the truth that soldiers don't get tired of deceit, how to run the army in the future! ”

Shangguan Ba has taken on the role of a teacher and taught the eldest prince.

Even for his own son and several other disciples, he didn't care so much.

And with Shangguan Ba's explanation, the eldest prince gradually understood, and at the same time, he also saw the slowly rising smoke and dust at the end of his eyes in his eyes.

"That's... Cavalry? ”

The eldest prince quickly discerned what it was.

At the same time, in the barracks where Zhengyang Wubi was located, several warriors in the tent who were closing their minds suddenly opened their eyes, including Liu Xin.

He got up suddenly, laid his whole blessing on the ground, and put his ear close to the ground, listening carefully.

And Shan Si, who was awakened by this movement, looked at Liu Xin's movements, and he didn't know why.

At this time, several tents had been lifted, and several people in the barracks flashed out quickly, and their goals were very consistent, that is, the highest point of the barracks.

Among them, the fastest body is Qin Guogong's lineage, Huangfu Rongjiang!

Liu Xin had already gotten up at this time, and he said to Shan Si with a gloomy face:

"There are cavalry rushing the camp, the distance is less than three miles, we can't run away, let's be ready to accept the impact.

It's better not to have a fluke, with such a momentum, the enemy's possibility is greater! ”

Shan Si's face changed greatly when he heard this, and what surprised him was not that there were cavalry charging into battle, but that he didn't feel anything.

Leaving the tent, Shan Si saw a figure who was quickly climbing up the lookout at first glance.

"Brother Shui!"
