Chapter Seventy-Seven: Riots
Rounds!
A rustic bronze carriage travels along a winding mountain road. In front of and behind the carriage, sixteen elite horsemen walked together. These elite riders have bulging temples, their eyes are bright, and their bodies are full of murderous energy, like a long knife with a handle out of its sheath.
Before and after the mountain road, the grass and trees are forested, and these elite horsemen look around vigilantly one by one, advancing and retreating like a person, showing the strictness of the army.
"Who?"
Suddenly, the leader of the elite cavalry let out a loud shout, his long knife was unsheathed, and his sharp gaze swiped into the woods by the roadside.
Boom!
The cold light flickered, and in an instant, all the elite riders drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the dense knife array showed Sensen's murderous aura, and they were about to kill a cluster of trees on the side of the road.
"Wait. ”
A panicked voice came, and in the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties hurriedly flashed out from behind the woods.
"It's me, it's me, it's me...... Don't get me wrong. ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand again and again, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and there was a strong smell of businessmen on his body.
"It's you?!"
The leader of the elite cavalry was slightly startled, as if he recognized the middle-aged man, and suddenly held the long knife back into its scabbard.
Behind him, all the elite riders also followed with a unified retraction of the scabbard.
"Hehe, I don't mean anything else. The house is in Luanyang County, I heard that Lord Wang passed through the small land, specially prepared a table of good wine and food, and wanted to invite Lord Wang to move to take a rest. ”
The middle-aged man bowed and said respectfully.
"No need. ”
An old voice came from the carriage, and the voice was meticulous, revealing a strong smell of alienation:
"This official still has important things to do, and he will entertain you flawlessly. - Let's go!"
As soon as the sound fell, the horses' hooves burst, and the whole convoy started again.
"Wait. Wait......"
When the middle-aged man saw this scene, he was so anxious that he opened his arms and shouted again and again:
"It doesn't matter if the adults don't have time, the villains are already ready. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled slightly, and beckoned from the woods beside the road. "Come out!"
In the blink of an eye, there were a burst of footsteps, and several rows of young men in Tsing Yi carried tables and chairs and walked out of the bushes. These tables and chairs are all made of overseas sandalwood and are very finely carved.
On the table, large bronze plates, silver shiny plates, covered with dishes. Before the lid could be lifted, a strong aroma wafted out of the air.
"Hey, hey. The adults are worried about the imperial court, and the military masters are also tired of the soldiers. These dishes specially prepared by the villain are a reward for the king. In addition, when the villain heard that the adults were attacked, he also specially prepared two pure-blooded flying horses for the adults to replace. ”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he looked at the horse in front of the carriage. There were originally four horses pulling the cart, but now there are only two left. Two empty poles.
And even these two horses were injured. The blood on his legs was profligate. Constantly sneezing, no one knows how long it will last.
"Pull it up. ”
The middle-aged man quickly came back to his senses, waved his hand behind him, and with the sound of hooves, four pure-blooded high-headed horses were led out by two small servants.
See these four horses. The surrounding armorers were all dazzled. These horses look full of tendons and shiny fur, and when they look at the best horses, they can travel thousands of miles in a day.
"No need. There are only two of these horses left, but I trained them myself. Even if he dies, he will persist in Langya County. As for these armor soldiers...... , the soldiers are tired, they are hungry, this is their duty. I can't even endure this bit of hardship, how can I be of great use, and how can I serve the imperial court?"
The meticulous voice came from the carriage, and there was a cold smell in the voice:
"Dong Yun, you have prepared these dishes, Junma, do you think I don't know your thoughts? I said that if it doesn't work, it won't work, and no matter how hard you try, it's in vain. Let's go!--If you dare to stay again, you will be dealt with by military law!"
In the last sentence, the killing is decisive, categorical, and cold.
"Boom!"
This time, the convoy did not stay any longer. Directly bypass the middle-aged man and rumble away.
"Hey!"
Looking at the billowing smoke and dust kicked off by the back of the car, the middle-aged man grabbed a plate of dishes on the low table and threw it down, smashing it all over the ground.
"Isn't it just begging you for something? I don't even have a chance to speak. ”
The middle-aged man looked at the direction of Wang Tai's departure, with a look of hatred:
"In vain, I married my sister to your son!"
Syllable!
Flicking his sleeves fiercely, the middle-aged man ignored the gold cups and silver plates and horses on the side of the road, and walked directly into the depths of the woods.
"How's it going? Did my dad say yes?"
Amid the sound of the sound, two young men and women in their twenties burst out of the woods. The two young men and women were extraordinary, and the women were moving, and they all had eager looks.
"Huh, what else? I heard he was attacked. Here he prepared food and wine, and prepared a replacement horse for him. As a result, I didn't even get a chance to speak. He also reprimanded me for being scheming. ”
The middle-aged man said with a look of hatred.
"Ahh
The two young men and women looked disappointed.
"I really don't understand him. I'm not for myself, I'm for his son, his son, not for my son! Little sister, if I didn't say you, you wouldn't talk to your father-in-law. Usually grind the roots of his ears, wash his feet more, hammer his back, can you get your husband stuck here?"
The middle-aged man was not good at reprimanding the young man, so he pointed a finger at his charming sister:
"Now the opportunity is a thousand times old, and it is not easy for a general to become vacant. I've walked through all the joints, and all the generals have nodded in agreement to recommend you. It ended up being stuck with your father-in-law. ”
"He is so unkind and has offended so many people, no wonder people want to send someone to kill him. - I'm so!"
The middle-aged man had a look of hatred on his face.
"Big brother, it's not that I'm not interested, it's that it's useless. ”
The touching young woman lowered her head and said weakly:
"The father-in-law said that Wang Rao was not experienced enough, his personality was too weak, and he was less decisive. It's okay to be a little lieutenant. But if he becomes a general, he is the one who suffers, and in the end he harms himself. He would never allow him to be this general. ”
"Weak, weak, where is weak?"
The middle-aged man looked angry: "I don't understand." Even if he can pass the martial arts examination, he will not have enough ability. Where can't you be a general?"
The two young couples glanced at each other, their hearts full of helplessness. There is no necessary relationship between character and strength. In fact, Wang Rao's martial arts talent and comprehension are not bad at all.
But the weakness in the character cannot be changed at all.
"One mountain does not tolerate two tigers", from childhood to adulthood, there is such a strong father in the family. Where can Wang Rao's character be tough and decisive.
Thinking of this, the little couple sighed in their hearts.
............
In a few days, there were more and more candidates in Langya City, three religions and nine streams, sects and secular, all-encompassing. The martial arts examination is a triennial prosperous era of the imperial court, and a large number of candidates gather, which means a large number of customers.
"Warriors" are different from scholars, and their purchasing power is quite strong. It is also quite generous in various eating degrees. This also attracted a large number of businessmen from all walks of life.
The inn where Yang Ji collapsed was soon overcrowded. There was a commotion.
"It's too noisy. This place is not very suitable to stay. ”
Yang Ji withdrew his gaze from the border map on the table, listened to the sound of high-pitched talk outside, and said secretly in his heart. Noise is only secondary, but a large number of businessmen gather, and it is really not convenient to enter and exit.
"Let's go to the inn and stay for a while. ”
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
There is a post station specially prepared by the imperial court for candidates in Langya City, and only candidates who participate in the martial arts examination can enter. No one else is allowed to enter. If it is found to be mixed up, it will inevitably be a heavy responsibility.
There are many candidates there, but it is relatively quiet.
"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to hide it from Yang Xuanlan. ”
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
It's been a few days since I entered Langya City. It is not bad to be able to hide from Yang Xuanlan's ears and eyes until now. Yang Ji knew it in his heart. As long as he wants to participate in the martial arts examination, it is impossible to completely hide it from Yang Xuanlan, and the difference is only that he will be detected sooner or later.
However, fortunately, in the past few days of research, Yang Ji has already mastered the topographic map of the western border, and he has already made a decision to deal with it.
The only problem is. According to Wang Xian, Wang Tai should have arrived in advance before the martial arts examination every time. But Yang Ji has been observing, and Wang Tai has not heard from him until now.
There is also no sign of him entering the city.
"Did something happen on the way?
Yang Ji thought secretly. He didn't know that he was really what he said. Wang Tai was attacked on the road, and his horse was wounded. The scheduled arrival time was greatly delayed. It's still on the way until now.
After packing his luggage, Yang Ji quickly retreated from the inn.
The streets are bustling and bustling. Yang Ji glanced at it casually, and found dozens of martial artists in the crowd, walking like roosters, with their toes high and their nostrils facing the sky.
"There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. I've almost practiced martial arts, but I don't know how it is. Just use this martial arts examination as a whetstone, and try to see how I am in the whole Langya County and what level I am at. ”
Yang Ji secretly calculated in his heart.
"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it on", Yang Ji is very confident in his ability. Moreover, during the "Levy Mission", Yang Ji also met the elites of various factions.
However, the master of the world, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, who knows how many masters like themselves are hidden in private?
"Dodge, dodge, dodge!-"
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and bursts of shouting and scolding came from the front. Yang Ji's heart moved, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the crowd was in a commotion more than thirty zhang away on the left side of the street, and seven or eight guys in white robes came over with a fierce look.
Probably because there were too many people on the street, it was too crowded, which hindered their progress. This group of white-robed people pushed, hit, dialed, and threw ...... when they saw someone.
These people have great strength, and all the way over, they basically hit people on their backs, and no one can stop them.
The streets, which used to be orderly, suddenly became chaotic.
"What kind of cross, anxious to reincarnate?"
There were also warriors in the crowd who didn't care about their anger, they scolded, and before the words fell, they collided and flew out directly, rolled in the air a few times, fell to the ground, and spit out blood. (To be continued......)
