While!

The two figures parted at the touch of a button, each gliding backwards for several feet. A figure stuck a knife into the ground to stabilize its body, while another figure was weak and touched the ground on one knee.

Without waiting for the arbitration verdict to be announced, the black-clothed young man stood up with a stick and said loudly: "I lost! ”

Senior Brother Cheng on the opposite side nodded with a smile: "Senior Brother Lei's fire dragon stick method is as aggressive as fire, fierce and domineering, and he is a slight advantage of his cultivation, and he is really a tiger father without a dog." ”

These two on the martial arts platform, if Luo Xiao is present, they must know everything.

The winner, Senior Brother Cheng, is Cheng Feilong, the young master of the Cheng Mansion he is thinking about at the moment. And the young man in black is the majestic black-clothed young man in Xiuyan Hall who once had a relationship with Cheng Mansion, named Lei Hao, and his father, Luo Xiao is not a stranger, it is Lei Zhentian, the chief teacher of Yishui Xiuwu Hall.

At this time, the place where the two fought was on the martial arts platform of the Xiuwutang in Yanshan City, the seat of Heshuo County, and the reason for the fight was not any personal grudge, on the contrary, the two families were world friends, and the two had a good personal relationship. The reason why they are standing on this stage is very simple - the county war!

Lei Hao was already a sixth-order early stage Xuanwu warrior, and Cheng Feilong had also been promoted from the original sixth-order early stage to the middle stage, so he would say that he was taking advantage of his cultivation - of course, such humble words were just good to listen to, and there was no need to take them seriously.

More than half a year ago, the three elite disciples from the Heshuo Three Cities Cultivation Martial Arts Hall that Luo Xiao saw in Cheng Mansion, Lei Hao, Wu Junyan, and Tang Shuangyue, were all in the fifth-order consummation realm at that time, as long as the conditions were suitable and the resources were in place, with the young age of the three and the outstanding talents, it was a matter of course to be promoted to the sixth order. With the backgrounds of these three people, will they lack resources? Of course not, so they were all able to successfully advance to the realm of samurai, and participate in the battle of Tianjiao with great ambition.

The county battle of Tianjiao's primary election is to determine the top ten, and the total number of applicants in the three cities of Heshuo is forty-five, and all of them are sixth-order Xuanwu, of which the newly promoted Xuanwu soldiers account for one-third, which shows that for this decade-old competition, many forces and families have invested in blood, and they have smashed a lot of new blood with resources.

However, this by no means includes Lei Hao.

As Lei Hao's opponent, Cheng Feilong has the most right to speak. Lei Hao is his fourth opponent and the one he spent the most effort on. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had just been promoted, the realm was not stable, and he was indeed one rank higher than the other party, he could win if he won, but he would inevitably be injured.

defeated Lei Hao, Cheng Feilong finally breathed a sigh of relief, according to the rules, as long as he won three games, he would basically enter the top ten. He has now achieved his initial goal, and the county has won. And Lei Hao has two wins and one loss, and he has to win one more game to be selected.

Forty-five participants, choose one out of four, and the extra few participants also choose one of four, eliminate four, and produce eleventh place. And the eleventh will be an alternate to enter Beijing together, if any of the top ten has an accident, the eleventh will replace him to participate in the Korean War. This is also the practice of county wars and court wars, and some counties with more talents even have the twelfth and thirteenth candidates.

When Cheng Feilong stepped off the stage, the audience cheered and congratulated the first inductee. Cheng Feifeng, Lao Feiyan and the disciples of Yanshan Xiuwutang ran over with cheers, Cheng Feifeng directly threw herself into her arms, and Lao Feiyan hurriedly stopped. She didn't dare to learn from her cousin, otherwise with her tonnage, she would have to fall down three people on the field.

On the side of Xiuyan Hall, Lei Hao walked to Lei Zhentian, who was watching the battle from the audience, with a guilty face: "Father, ......"

"Good play. Lei Zhentian interrupted his son's words and patted him on the thick shoulder, "The Cheng family's cultivation is higher than you, and his sword skills are older than yours, so there is no shame in losing." Don't forget, you're better than him. ”

Lei Hao was wiping the sweat from his forehead, and was stunned when he heard the words: "What is it?"

"You're younger than him. Lei Zhentian looked at his son, with no pride in his eyes, "Martial arts compete for power, time is like gold." You are three years younger than him, and you have even greater potential, and with your qualifications and understanding, I believe that after three years, your cultivation will never be below him. ”

Lei Hao's eyes slowly lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Understood, father, next, I will definitely go all out to enter the top ten and live up to the family's expectations." ”

Lei Zhentian nodded with a smile, relieved.

In the corner of the square under the martial arts stage, two middle-aged men who looked very ordinary silently took in everything, glanced at each other, and turned to leave.

Half a month later, the two men appeared in front of the Eagle Sorrow Pass, one of the three passes in the northwest of Wuyang Kingdom.

Yingchou Pass is the checkpoint where Luo Xiao and Duan Qinglan returned to Baicao City when they heard about the southern side of the Tule people, Chen Bing. As a result, the imperial court continued to mobilize troops from various counties to gather in the south, but the Tule people made a false shot, and the main force rushed to Baicao City in the north, breaking through this important town in the northwest in one fell swoop and gaining the strategic initiative.

At this time, thousands of Tule elite horsemen in front of Yingchou Pass had turned their horses north as early as a month ago and joined the large army, leaving no trace except for a place of cattle, sheep and horse dung. Since the Turks did not attack the Eagle Pass, in order to avoid irritating the Tur people, and also in order to collect intelligence, the imperial court did not lock the pass, and even maintained the mutual market, but the entry and exit checks were extremely strict, and no one was allowed to pass without a temporary customs clearance diploma.

The two men completed the formalities, and then stuffed some broken silver into the guards, so naturally they were not left in trouble and easily exited the customs.

After three full days of riding west, two men appeared in front of an oasis.

Any business traveler traveling west must be no stranger to this oasis, this place called Lake Serida, the lake is clear, the water is abundant, and it is an important supply point for business travelers.

However, at this time, this supply point is now full of wolf flags all over the mountains, and there are countless felt tents around the lake, like mushrooms all over the grassland after rain. Between the felt tents, with thick logs surrounded by corrals, countless cattle and sheep, smoked in the wind for ten miles of fishy commotion is disgusting. In addition, the group of turbulent cavalry with messy hair, bows and blades, and simple leather armor went on a rampage. It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to any caravan that strays in.

However, just as a group of Turk cavalry spotted the two men, they shouted and shouted to draw their swords and smirk around the two horsemen, ready to cut their flesh and blood, the two men showed a black wooden arrow. As a result, the Turk cavalry immediately changed their attitude and respectfully guided them through the cordoned area to the camp.

Then, guided by an iron-clad commander, the two men made their way through the camp to the inner tent, and finally to a large tent with a huge wolf flag five feet high standing in front of the tent, which was the most ornate and largest of all felt tents.

If the soldiers at the border pass saw it, they could recognize it at a glance, and this was the Tur king's tent.

The two men stood respectfully outside the tent, and after receiving the report, they bowed their heads and entered the king's tent, knelt down on the thick woolen silk carpet, and said respectfully: "The wise and great Master Bayin is above, and your loyal servant has brought back information to you about the people of the Eastern Tu. ”
