I only heard the examiner at the rank of general:

"According to the rules of the imperial court, Wu Xiucai is the first in each county and can get the right to seed players. However, Wu Xiucai is the first, and it is just a prerequisite. In order to qualify for the preliminaries, you must pass one more test. ”

"Test?"

Yang Ji came to his senses in an instant. Immediately realize that this exemption is not as simple as you think.

"Hmm. ”

The examiner at the rank of general nodded and said with a smile:

"The imperial court set the seed selection in order to avoid needless battles. Pick out the strong candidates. At the same time, candidates who avoid fighting with them will be eliminated for this reason. In this way, we can also try to select those who are capable for the imperial court. ”

Yang Ji nodded, indicating that he understood. Sometimes, if the strongest person also participates in the preliminary round, it is likely to eliminate some powerful candidates. For example, the fifth place meets the previous player too much, and the result is eliminated, but the seventh and eighth place are replaced.

This is to avoid the problems caused by the falling format and the premature elimination of strong players.

"So do we still need to measure our strength through a layer of testing?"

Yang Jidao.

"You're smart. ”

The examiner at the rank of general smiled and cast an appreciative look:

"It's not a test, it's a test of a wooden puppet. These wooden puppets are the work of the Masters of the Ministry of Works, and my lieutenant will take you there in a moment. You know where you go. ”

Yang Ji nodded when he heard this, and didn't ask any more.

“...... By the way, a reminder. Due to the high level of candidates taking the exam this year, the number of people is too high. The number of seeded players is limited. So this year's test will be much more difficult than in previous years. You have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Students understand. Thank you, General!"

Yang Ji nodded and bowed.

Hand over all kinds of vouchers, fill in the information, and complete the various procedures for the name of the Wuke report. Behind the examiner at the rank of general. Then a general came out:

"Young Master Yang, please follow me!"

"Trouble. ”

The two walked side by side and went out.

......

"I see that kid!"

On a restaurant near the registration point, a disciple of Tianshui County suddenly brightened up, leaning on the railing, looking down and suddenly shouting.

"Where?

The earth dog was sitting at a round table nearby, drinking tea. One foot crossed, resting on the table. Hearing this, his expression moved, and he drank a large glass of wine in one gulp. walked to the railing, pulled out his big hand, and pulled the master of Tianshui County aside:

"Get out of the way, let me see!"

The earth dog stretched out a hand to cover his brow and stared viciously at the bar. It is not difficult to find Yang Jiban, after staring at it for a few months. He was so impressed with this man now.

In the bustling flow of people, he saw Yang Ji almost at a glance. But the next moment, seeing the person beside Yang Ji, Tugou's face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and it was cloudy.

"Fuck, who's that bastard next to him? How could there be a general from the martial arts examination following him?"

The earth dog scolded and scolded, and he was about to drop things. The general who walked beside Yang Ji came out of the registration point, in other words. He is actually one of the generals of the martial arts examination.

Of all the generals, this kind of general is the most unoffended. ――Unless someone from Tensui-gun wants to be disqualified.

"Really!"

The poisonous wolf climbed high and looked at it, and his face was not good-looking:

"There always seems to be some people around this little Wang Dan to protect. But who of you knows what that general is doing with him? Don't you need his help in reporting the name?"

"He's taking him to Gou Mang Palace!"

A voice came from the side, and Zhao Lenggong came over at some point and stopped beside the two. This flip instantly attracted the attention of the two people.

"Gou Mang Palace?"

The earth dog turned around, eyes shrinking. His eyes looked at him and exuded a yin aura. Losers don't deserve sympathy, and he lacks even a trace of sympathy for Zhao Lenggong, a loser. It's nice not to take him away like a dog.

"Well, Gou Mangdian. ”

Zhao Lenggong nodded, pretending not to see the contemptuous eyes of the earth dog and the poisonous wolf:

"Wu Xiucai No. 1 in all counties has been seeded. Waiver of qualification for the preliminaries. But if you want to become a seeded player, you still need to pass the test of Gou Mangdian. It's not surprising that the average person doesn't know. ”

In the end, Zhao Lenggong glanced at the poisonous wolf and the earth dog.

But the earth dog didn't think about it so much. The first place is "Big Brother", he really hasn't touched this before, and he hasn't paid attention to it.

"Gou Mangdian, seeded player...... By the way, aren't you also a number one, why didn't you go?"

Tugou rolled his eyelids, suddenly stared at Zhao Lenggong, and said with a very indifferent attitude. It's as if Zhao Lenggong's "first" is just some kind of banknote picked up on the side of the road.

A look of annoyance flashed in Zhao Lengchen's eyes, but he didn't refute:

"It's voluntary, you can go or not. There is a senior brother in this year's martial arts examination...... So I didn't go. ”

In the end, Zhao Lenggong's voice was much quieter. It's not that he doesn't want to, but Tianshui County has a strict hierarchy and is very powerful.

If "Big Brother" didn't become a seeded player, but he went to Gou Mang Palace, "Big Brother" wouldn't be able to get off the stage at that time, which would affect his prestige.

In this way, he inadvertently put himself and the senior brother on opposite sides. Unless he was sure that he could defeat the elder brother, it would be extremely unwise to do so.

It is also because of this relationship that among the counties of Taiyuan Continent, Tianshui County has used the rights of this seeded player the least number of times. It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that I can't.

At this point, Zhao Lenggong had already inquired clearly before he came to Taiyuan and decided to participate in the martial arts examination.

Under the railing, Yang Ji walked side by side with the generals around him.

Although there is the shadow of King Taiyuan, this is the first time that Yang Ji has felt so comfortable and comfortable since participating in the martial arts examination. The kindness and friendliness of the examiners and generals are hard to be confident in.

“...... Lord Wang admires you very much!"

On the side, the fully draped generals and Yang Ji walked on their shoulders, saying with a smile.

Yang Ji nodded. In fact, he also felt very surprised, because the Marquis of Zhongwu was born in Langya County, this examiner at the level of general seemed to have a good impression of him.

For this kind of thing, Yang Ji can't ask for it. It is still very beneficial to have an examiner who is kind to you.

Although it may not be possible to help you win in the martial arts examination, it is at least much better than an examiner who is full of malice towards you.

"Your article, Lord Wang has already spread it everywhere in the imperial capital. Now in the military department, it has long been rumored, and I am afraid that there are no more people who don't know. ”

The draped general continued.

"Hmm. ”

Yang Ji didn't know what to say, so he could only deal with it vaguely. Suddenly, Yang Ji sensed that something was wrong. Turning his head, he looked surprised:

"Article?

"Hehe, that's the article you did in the Xiucai-level martial arts examination? I wrote it myself, I won't even forget about yourself, right?"

The draped general laughed.

"Xiucai-level martial arts?"

Yang Ji was stunned, and his footsteps stopped abruptly. He suddenly realized that there might be something wrong between the two:

"Lord Wang, who did you just say, isn't it the chief examiner this time?"

"Examiner, don't you know Lord Wang Tai?"

The fully cloaked general looked surprised, and then realized something, and couldn't help laughing:

"My chief's surname is Sun. Wang Tai was your examiner last year. Lord Wang Tai admires you so much, I thought you were very close, and I thought you knew about this matter. ”

Yang Ji was silent, but his mind was quite active. Countless thoughts flew through my mind. It had been so long since the martial arts examination in the county had ended, and this was the first time he had heard from Wang Tai, and it was in such an unexpected way.

"That article...... Has Lord Wang Tai already taken it to the Imperial Capital to preach for me?"

Yang Ji thought thoughtfully.

Why did Wang Tai do this, Yang Ji could probably guess that everything was to pave the way for himself to go to Cangxu City. However, hearing the news from a general who presided over the martial arts examination of the Zhou Prefecture made Yang Ji quite surprised.

Wang Tai's official rank is not very high, it is also a general, and he has not yet been crowned a general, and his strength cannot be reached. But from the tone of the general beside him, Yang Ji could hear that he seemed to be very respectful of Wang Tai, which was abnormal.

This is not the tone of speech between the peers, but it is like the respect of the subordinates to the superiors!

In a trance, Yang Ji remembered what Wang Tai had said to him with a smile before leaving. Behind each general is a general, a general, or the commander of the Marquis. But at the same time, it is also their backer.

There is no doubt that Wang Tai should also have such an energetic backer behind him.

"It turns out that the Lord is talking about Lord Wang Tai. This student knows. I just don't know, how is Lord Wang doing?"

Yang Ji quickly came back to his senses and said.

"Haha, what's the matter? He's a celebrity now! Even the martial marquis are involved. Now the emperor has set off a whirlwind by him. Although you haven't entered the Imperial Capital yet, many people already know your name. ――That's how my adults and I knew. ”

The general, who was draped all over, said with a teasing face, but he didn't have much malice.

Yang Ji lowered his head and blinked, thoughtfully. The general didn't say much, or he didn't know much. But from his words, Yang Ji can still get a few pieces of news.

First, the matter that Wang Tai was actively dealing with was undoubtedly the matter of his own trip to Cangxu City, and second, there was no doubt that this matter had reached a critical juncture, because if it succeeded, the news would have already arrived. (To be continued......)
