The preliminary round of the martial arts examination has not yet reached the last day, and Yang Ji and Shen Tong, the two favorites in the No. 10 division, decided the winner in advance, which is really beyond the expectations of many people.

The wonderful game between the two also quickly caused a big sensation in the "Martial Palace".

For a while, many people inquired about Yang Ji's origin, but compared to Shen Tong and others, Yang Ji's information was too little, except for one name, the others were almost blank.

Originally, although Yang Ji had never been to Pingchuan City before, it was not necessarily that no one knew him. At least, Li Chen knew the origin of Yang Ji.

It's a pity that in the "Dilong Restaurant" that day, most people only noticed the limelight "Li Sangongzi", and didn't pay much attention to Yang Ji at all. And the fight between the two that day was not traced, and even Han Bin, who was close by, did not find it, let alone others.

Although Li Chen knew the details of Yang Ji, the Li clan and the Yang clan had never been harmonious. With his identity, how can he surrender his identity and help others to publicize.

On the sixth day of the martial arts examination, Yang Ji won the first place in the No. 10 division with his indisputable strength, and entered the second round of the martial arts test together with another martial arts student.

At the same time, the 24 divisions also selected their respective promotions. There were 2 people from each division, and a total of 48 candidates participated in the second round of the competition to compete for the final place in the final round.

The next day, the chief examiner of the martial arts examination, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in the martial hall:

"On the seventh day, take a day off! Candidates who have entered the re-examination, prepare well!"

"It's okay, it's time to prepare. ”

Yang Ji said in his heart.

There are two "rest days" in the process, and there will be a day off between the first and second rounds, and between the second and third rounds.

This is done so that all candidates who have qualified can have a psychological and physical adjustment period and prepare for the next round of more intense competition.

Yang Ji returned to the inn with a list. This list was sent down by the imperial court, and everyone who qualified had a copy.

However, unlike the published list, the list in Yang Ji's hand only has 24 names.

"The second round of re-examination is divided into two regions, north and south, with 24 people in each district. In the end, only 7 people can qualify, and compete for the seven places in this martial arts examination together with the qualifiers of another district!"

Yang Ji remembered the news he heard from the "Martial Palace" this time.

Unlike the 24 divisions in the first round, the second round of the re-examination only has two and a half divisions in the north and south, which are composed of promoted candidates from 12 divisions.

In each semi-division, only the strongest 7 people will be able to qualify, and the others will be eliminated!

Yang Ji looked at the 24 names detailed on the list, there were a few on it that Yang Ji was familiar with, and most of the others were unfamiliar.

These 24 names include 12 divisions and involve three to four thousand candidates. Although Yang Ji has the help of Han Bin and has been watching the game in various arenas for the past few days, it is impossible to remember everyone.

"Li Chen and Gao Shengming are not here, it seems that they are in another competition area. If there are no accidents, the opponents in the next round of the game should be these people. ”

Yang Ji secretly said in his heart and fell into deep thought.

Bang bang bang!

About an hour later, there was a sudden crisp knock on the door:

"Is Yang Ji and Yang Gongzi here? I was ordered by the historian to come and deliver something to my son. ”

"Ahh

Yang Ji was overjoyed in his heart, his eyes lit up, and he stood up happily: "It's finally here!"

Yang Ji's foothold in Pingchuan City, there is only one person who knows the Tao, and that is the historian. Before the martial arts examination, the historian promised to send the reward of the liberal arts examination to Yang Ji as soon as possible, but there was no movement for a long time, and now it is finally here.

"Please come in!"

Yang Ji took three steps and made two steps, opened the door, and sure enough, there were two soap-clothed scribes standing outside.

"Young Master Yang. ”

The two tall and lanky scribes arched their hands and walked in with a respectful expression.

Among the government offices, Yang Ji's article was full of literary atmosphere, and the wind could not blow, which had already alarmed all the civil officials and scribes in Pingchuan City. Nowadays, it has been paid more attention by historians, and it has long been invaluable in the line of literature and Taoism.

This kind of respect is not the envy of Yang Ji's imminent rise to prominence, but the respect for Yang Jiwen's cultivation. If there is no accident, the leader of Wendao in Pingchuan City in the future will probably be the young man in front of him.

"Young Master Yang, the historian has an order, let us send the reward of this liberal arts competition. ”

Two scribes said.

"Ah, trouble both. ”

Yang Ji said with joy on his face, his heart full of anticipation.

The martial arts competition has entered the second round, and each of the opponents Yang Ji faces is strong and difficult. The reward for the liberal arts examination came at the right time.

"But,...... The reward for the liberal arts is not with us. ”

The two looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

“！！！”

Yang Ji was taken aback, glanced at the two of them, and suddenly sobered up a little, and had a bad feeling in his heart: "What do you mean by this?"

The two of them clearly said that they had come to give the reward for the liberal arts examination on the order of the historian, but why did they say that the reward was not here? What does this mean? Is there something wrong with it?

"It's simple, your reward is —— with me"

A sassy voice suddenly came from outside the door, the door of the inn squeaked open, the vigorous sunlight outside the door shone in, and a bright yellow dressed, heroic girl appeared at the door.

Seeing this girl, Yang Ji was dumbfounded.

"Lu Ling——"

Yang Ji's body shook violently, blurted out a low snort, and stood up suddenly, looking like he couldn't believe his eyes. What appeared in front of him was actually Lu Ling, who he rescued in the mountains years ago.

Yang Ji embarked on the path of martial arts, and when he talked about it carefully, he had to thank Lu Ling for teaching him the "Divine Dragon Refining Pile Method" and "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound".

However, Lu Ling's identity is mysterious, and since he taught Yang Ji, he has disappeared, as if he has evaporated.

Yang Ji didn't expect to see her at this time!

"Ha Luha, I didn't expect it!"

Lu Ling tied his ponytail, as cheerful as usual, with his hands behind his back, and swaggered into Yang Ji's room, as if he had entered his own door.

Behind her, two strong, heavily armed armor soldiers followed in.

"Tsk, that's good, that's good! I taught you the Shenlong Pile Refining Pile Method and the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, but I didn't expect you to practice to this point in just half a year. ”

As soon as Lu Ling came in, just like a master looking at his apprentice, he looked Yang Ji up and down, and sighed:

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it, this Yang Ji is you!"

Although Lu Ling did not accept Yang Ji as an apprentice, almost all of Yang Ji's starting martial arts were taught and given by her Zheng'er Bajing.

Seeing that Yang Ji was so "promising", Lu Ling, the "master", also felt a little proud, and his heart was very happy, and he was so happy that all the 84,000 pores in his body were dilated.

"Lu Ling, why are you here?"

Yang Ji greeted him, and there was a sense of intimacy in his heart.

Two scribes came to distribute the rewards of the "Liberal Arts and Science Examination", but it was Lu Ling who appeared, and there were also soldiers from the imperial court around him, seeing this, Yang Ji actually had some vague guesses about Lu Ling's identity, but she still needed to say it herself.

"Hehe, my father is the city lord, I don't appear here, where else can I appear?"

Lu Ling seemed to be smiling, with a look of insight.

If you didn't tell Yang Ji at the beginning, it was not necessary. Now, Yang Ji has proved himself with his own efforts, and there is no need for Lu Ling to hide it.

"That's ...... so"

Yang Ji's face was abrupt, but he sighed in his heart. No wonder he couldn't find out Lu Ling's identity at all, in fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago.

has such a high level of martial arts, it can easily be passed on to the "Tiger and Leopard Lei Yin" that his Yang family does not have, and his surname is Lu, and the most prominent person in Pingchuan City is the city lord of Lu.

In Pingchuan City, in addition to the generals who guarded the border of the imperial court, the city sovereignty of Pingchuan City leaned to one side, and it was a well-deserved local hero.

It's a pity that there has never been news of the family members of the Lord of Lu City before, so Yang Ji didn't particularly think about this aspect.

Yang Ji didn't expect that the girl he had inadvertently saved would have such a prominent identity. I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Lu Ling's cultivation is even more profound, and the strong blood on his body is like a lead sinker, and even Yang Ji feels a deep oppression.

"By the way, Lu Ling, how did you find here?"

Yang Ji asked. Although he knew that the other party's identity was prominent, Yang Ji did not mean to be restrained at all, that is, he did not timidly or stutter.

"The sea is tolerant of all rivers, there are tolerances, there are thousands of walls, and there is no desire to be rigid", Yang Ji doesn't care about the other party, so naturally there is no feeling of inferiority.

"Ha Luha, if it weren't for the historian sending someone to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for the reward for the liberal arts examination, I wouldn't have noticed your ......"

Lu Ling said and told the story of the matter.

It turned out that the rewards for the civil and military imperial examinations had to be extracted from the Zongcheng Mansion treasury of the City Lord's Mansion. As the daughter of the city lord, Lu Ling naturally had a lot of chances to encounter this kind of thing.

The "Liberal Arts Examination" originally had nothing to do with her, and Lu Ling had no interest in Wendao. It was also the two scribes who were talkative, and when they were waiting in the place where Lu Ling was practicing, they chattered, talked vigorously about the things in the liberal arts examination, and respected a candidate.

Lu Ling asked casually, the leader of this liberal arts examination is actually called "Yang Ji". This is terrible, Lu Ling suddenly became interested.

At the beginning, when Yang Ji used what he learned in the book to help Lu Ling cure drugs, he left a deep impression on her. Although he felt a little surprised, if Yang Ji won the top spot in the liberal arts examination, Lu Ling would not be surprised at all.

It's just that there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and Lu Ling didn't dare to confirm it for a while, and Yang Ji's whereabouts were erratic, so he didn't find him until now.

"Yang Ji, you are really impressed. Although I know that you are good at reading, but you are not so good that you have actually won the top of the liberal arts examination!"

Lu Ling patted Yang Ji's shoulder magnificently, with a "good" expression.
