The oil lamp beeped, and the atmosphere was eerie.

Yang Ji was silent for a moment, and soon his eyes noticed a bamboo tube the thickness of a little finger tied to the night falcon's thick right claw.

"It's news!"

The words that the tall and thin evil Dao master had said before he died came to mind, and Yang Ji opened his palm, and a huge suction force suddenly erupted in his palm.

"Whew!—"

On the window sill, the strong night falcon's wings fluttered out, and before it could react, it was grabbed by Yang Jiyi in his hand. Untie the rope on the leg, remove the thin bamboo tube, open the lid and shake it, and a note immediately fell out.

"Tomorrow night, it's official!"

Eight simple words, word by word, revealing a taste of killing. At the end of the note, there is a bright red square mark: All Evils are Holy.

"Tourmaline ring!"

Seeing this bright red mark, an electric light instantly crossed his mind. Yang Ji hadn't seen the tourmaline ring of the evil prince, but only seeing this mark, Yang Ji knew that this must be the ring he wore on his tail finger, symbolizing his identity.

The news was undoubtedly transmitted by the "prince of the evil way," but what do the words "formal action" mean? Why do we say "official," and don't all previous actions count?

Yang Ji pinched the note and fell into deep contemplation.

From these simple eight words, he felt an unusual smell. Moreover, the tall and thin evil path warrior had mentioned that the evil prince had always used carrier pigeons to contact them, and this time a night falcon suddenly appeared, which was too unusual.

"Anyway, tomorrow night, I'll see. ”

Yang Ji's eyes flashed and he came back to his senses.

The night falcon had already flown away, and Yang Ji looked at the window. I found that it was close to dawn, and then I jumped out of the window.

......

"Bell!—"

The huge bell is crisp and melodious, resounding throughout Langya City. In an instant, the sky was in the north and south, and the bell rang to the place. The entire Langya City was instantly lively.

"It's the eleventh day, I'm afraid there will be a result of the martial arts examination, right?"

"Yes, there are going to be twelve more outstanding martial artists in the imperial court, guess who they are?"

"Where can I guess this? These are all the future generals, marquis, and princes of our Langya County. Every future is precious. ”

"I'd love to see it. Although I can't see the appearance of their feudal lords. But it's not bad to look at them when they're not famous. It's a pity that we are not candidates, and we have no fame, so we can't get in!"

......

Langya City is full of such discussions. Unlike the alternate martial arts students, Wu Xiucai really stepped into the vision of the imperial court.

In the end, the martial boys were much more obscure, but Wu Xiucai was different. The potential at this level is endless. Although it is still not famous, the princes and marshals of the imperial court have all worked from this level.

And even if Wu Xiucai mixes badly, he can finally be a captain in the army and lead thousands of court soldiers.

For ordinary people, this is already a place where they can only look up and look up.

......

"Senior Brother Yang, the martial arts examination is about to begin. Gone!"

In the morning, Ouyang Zishi shouted excitedly outside.

"It's coming. Here it ......."

Yang Ji shouted and walked out of the room, tapping lightly on the railing. Jumping out gently, with a twist, it fell lightly to the ground.

"Haha, Senior Brother Yang, come on! It's been the last few days, and I believe you will definitely be able to go to high school in this martial arts examination!"

Ouyang Zishi grinned, raised his fist and clenched it fiercely. His expression was even more excited than Yang Ji, as if he was participating in the martial arts examination today.

"Well, definitely. ”

Yang Ji nodded.

Ouyang Zishi looked at Yang Ji and felt that today's Yang Ji didn't look quite the same as usual.

"No matter what, I will definitely get the fame of Wu Xiucai. ”

Yang Ji looked into the distance. There was a dazzling sparkle in his eyes.

From practicing martial arts to being admitted to the martial arts boys, from joining the Iron Crown faction to fighting for martial arts...... , Yang Ji has walked in the most important part of his life planning.

If you succeed, you can go further, and in the future, you will be crowned a king and a marquis, and it will be no problem to be out of the land. If you fail, you will have to endure endless humiliation again.

Like that, the suppression and insults from the eldest lady and Yang Xuanlan will continue to flow. There is a "big lady" and there will be a second, a third.

If there is one "Yang Xuanlan", there will be two, and the third ......

The eldest husband is not born with five tripods, and if he dies, even if he dies on this road, Yang Ji has no regrets!

"Let's go!"

Countless thoughts flashed in his eyes, Yang Ji flicked his sleeves and strode away.

......

At the same time, a wooden door opened at the deserted back door behind the General's Mansion, and Zhou Qun walked out of it like a walking corpse.

His whole face was pale, as if he had changed from before.

"Today's game, I believe you should know how to do it......"

The black hole behind the wooden door was hollow, and a faint one came out of it, and a heroic figure could be vaguely seen sitting in the depths of the shadows:

"It's a deal, but it's also for you and your master. Win or lose, remember, losers don't have the qualifications to be remembered......"

In the last sentence, Zhou Qun's shoulders trembled, he lowered his head sharply, and then left the general's mansion quickly.

"My lord, this Zhou Qun doesn't seem to be a good candidate. Looking at the way he walks, I'm afraid he won't do what the adults say. ”

Behind the wooden door, in an unnoticed corner, a young man in white stood quietly behind Yang Xuanlan, bowed his head, and said respectfully.

"Don't worry. He will. ”

Yang Xuanlan put his hands on his shoulders and said lightly, his expression confident and calm.

The young man in white nodded, Yang Xuanlan said this, there was a reason. He didn't ask much.

"As long as this Zhou Qun makes that move, Yang Ji will definitely be defeated. Wu Xiucai's fame has nothing to do with him, but in this way, we have greatly violated the rules of the martial arts examination, if General Wang Tai sees any flaws, then ......"

The young man in white didn't go any further, but his tone revealed a sense of worry.

Judging by the past. The character of this general Wang Taiwang is far from being so easy to fool. Such worries are not unfounded.

"So what?"

Yang Xuanlan said lightly, without the slightest change on his face. He is the king of Taiyuan attached to the horse, and his status, status, and power are only above Wang Tai, and he is never below him.

There is no need to be taboo about Wang Tai at all.

"There is no conclusive evidence, even if he has suspicions, what can he do? He has such a master, even if he does something, it shouldn't be strange, right?"

Yang Xuanlan said and glanced at the young man in white.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The latter was shocked, and suddenly understood.

"Let's go. The martial arts examination is about to be held, so you don't have to ask about these things. Do your thing well, and in the future, there will be a time when you will soar. ”

Yang Xuanlan looked at the young man in white and said lightly.

"Thank you, sir. ”

The young man in white was overjoyed, landed on his right knee, and bowed deeply. He also walked through the wooden door.

Seeing the figure of the young man in white in the distance, Yang Xuanlan immediately turned around, passed through several secret doors, and entered a secret room.

In the room, a black-clothed man with a fierce aura and extremely strong force, far surpassing Xiao Zhou Tian's master, knelt on the ground, motionless. I saw Yang Xuanlan come in. Immediately raise your head:

"My lord, do as you command. Madman Zhou has been escorted to Thorn City, and one day, he will be sent to Taiyuan Continent Mansion......"

Yang Xuanlan stood still, and a bright glint flashed in his eyes.

......

In the martial hall, the crowd is surging and lively.

Twelve "Wu Xiucai" will be decided today. There were far more people entering the martial hall to watch the battle than usual.

"Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Yang......"

Yang Ji walked all the way, and the surrounding candidates bowed their heads and said hello, looking very respectful.

On the first day of the martial arts examination, or no one knew who Yang Ji was. But the game is going on so far. Those who can enter the list of the last 20 or so people are all the elites of the elites, the geniuses of the geniuses, and the alternate candidates for "Wu Xiucai"!

This alone deserves everyone's respect.

"Senior Brother Yang, the list of competitions should have come out. Although I don't know who your opponent is, however, the rules of the martial arts are there. In your martial arts examination, Bai Julu and Cao Dian are the strongest. It's just twenty into twelve, and you shouldn't meet him too soon. In fact, in this round of the game, they are considered byes. ”

Chen Zhu and Yang Ji walked side by side and said on the side.

Yang Ji turned his head to look at Chen Zhu with a listening look. Chen Zhu has experienced the martial arts examination and knows far more about the inside story than others.

In each session of the martial arts examination, the two strongest candidates will be selected by the two chief examiners of the imperial court at the military general level, as the "seeded players", and they will have a bye in the knockout round on the eleventh day and be sent to the final list of twelve people.

These have long been unwritten rules.

This is to avoid the premature elimination of some highly talented candidates due to the loopholes of the competition system. After all, if you can get into the eyes of the two Han generals, your strength is definitely stronger than other candidates, and it is not a little bit stronger.

Candidates of this level are the dragon and phoenix among people, and there is no problem at all in the "Wu Xiucai" exam, and there is no need to waste effort in this competition system.

"I've got you covered. Except for Bai Julu and Cao Dian, the ones who are most likely to threaten you are Zhou Qun and Shi Zhongye, and the others are all not worried. ...... Borrowed ......"

Chen Zhu turned sideways to avoid several candidates and continued to move forward:

"Ishinakano comes from a wealthy family, which makes him have a high rating of strength. In today's knockout format, you shouldn't have met him yet. The only thing left is Zhou Qun. ”

"Zhou Qun?"

Yang Ji frowned slightly, thoughtful. He has a little impression of this person, he doesn't look amazing, and he belongs to the kind of person who is not very outstanding.

But his appearance made everyone's eyes fall to the ground.

Not to mention defeating several popular candidates, even the disciples of Baitou Mountain and Heishui Cliff were terminated by him, and they had no chance to participate in this year's martial arts examination.

"Hmm. So far in the game, everyone's details are basically on the bright side. Only the origin of this Zhou group is mysterious, and no one knows it so far. In the archives of the imperial court, he was only from a small village. There is no family background, and there is no master. It looks ordinary and inconspicuous. But what about those who despise him...... , you believe you have seen it too. ”

Chen Zhu said, looking at Yang Ji deeply. (To be continued......)
