Du Xingsheng's face was full of spring, his face was radiant, and his eyes were faintly shining. Back then, he had always envied Chen Duyun for being in charge of the military and commanding the three armies, and today he finally sat in this position as he wished.

With endless joy in his heart, he pinched his throat and coughed softly, then held his head high, glanced at the generals, and raised his voice to state the oath that had been polished many times and had been read countless times in private:

"The soldiers of the Zhuwu Dajing Dragon Army, gathered from the various armies who have been in the army for more than ten years, can be brave with a hundred, the major clans in the rivers and lakes are strong in martial arts, and the chivalrous warriors in the rankings, and the local government strongly recommends the talented and resourceful heroes, which is said to be the backbone of the world. Today, Dajing coincides with the omen of troubled times, first the emperor and queen were assassinated, the prince disappeared; and then there are divine soldiers descending into the world, and all sides are surging, at the beginning of the danger in the world and the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, it is just the opportunity for people of my knowledge and loyal people to restore their talents and make meritorious contributions. I am ordered by the emperor's grace to lead the dragon, and I am willing to work with you to sweep the thief's heart and restore the light of the past. ”

"The thief's heart, restore the light of the past!"

"The thief's heart, the ...... of the past"

"The Thief's Heart......"

Sporadicly, some of the teenagers in the audience who listened enthusiastically echoed in unison, but suddenly found that except for a group of teenagers around him, the entire school was a strange silence.

The veterans, who accounted for the vast majority of the audience, chose to remain silent at this moment.

The teenagers looked at each other and lowered their hands in amusement, and the voices around them became lower and lower......

This doesn't seem to be the same as the scene in Du Xingsheng's imagination. At this time, some generals around him couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to relieve this strange atmosphere for the marshal, so they dared to step forward and raise their arms and shout:

"The thief's heart is restored to the light of the past. ”

Silence, still a silence shrouded in an indifferent gaze.

The general's face turned red, glanced at Du Xingsheng, and retreated to the side stupidly.

What greeted them was the cold gaze cast by these veterans who had long been accustomed to the old horses and bad wine in the side plug.

A Wenchen who has no experience in the military camp and can only complain is appointed as the chief general, a group of high-ranking officials who are pampered and pampered in Beijing and completely ignorant of the suffering of the bottom of the Chinese military tent, and a seemingly fair and just but completely unrealistic method of selecting generals.

This regular army, which seemed to have been built by the emperor and supervised by the military department with countless painstaking efforts, seemed to these old generals to be just a farce for their own amusement.

A ceremony that was supposed to be solemn and solemn for the new army finally ended in Jia Shilang's hurried voice: "The ceremony is over".

Some people rejoice and some people worry.

The night was deep and slightly cold.

Zhang Renliang came to the terrifying dungeon of the abyss alone.

When he saw Li Congjian again, his face was no longer as arrogant as it was at the beginning.

He only shouted "Heavenly Master" to Li Congjian with a little reverence.

Now he can hand over the rudder oar to Li Congjian for no reason, because only he can find the legendary sword for himself.

Li Congjian opened his eyes unhurriedly from meditation, and an old voice spat out from his bearded mouth.

"It seems that Your Majesty's face today is not very good, could it be because of something in the army?"

Zhang Renliang put his hands behind his back, and his body moved half a step forward like a mountain.

"Probably this king has been busy with political affairs for too long, and the current army is not as peaceful as in the past. ”

Li Congjian stroked his white beard and said, "Now that you can see it clearly, it's not too late." ”

Zhang Renliang nodded slightly: "It seems that if you want to achieve great things, you must first hold the tiger talisman...... Otherwise, the consequences will be really worrying!"

Li Congjian said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be in a hurry about this, at least as long as Chen Duyun is in Beijing for a day, the border generals will not dare to disagree for a day, and the court can still sit back and relax." ”

Zhang Renliang was still faintly worried: "In the final analysis, I still have to rely on outsiders, I feel uneasy! What's more, among the Dragon Edict Army established this time, seven adults are from the old department, and these people will become an unpredictable variable in the entire overall situation!" After speaking, Zhang Renliang turned his eyes to look at Li Congjian, as if asking.

"I don't know how sure the Heavenly Master is about this matter!"

Li Congjian groaned slightly, suddenly raised his head, and a wisp of different color appeared in the sea of eyes.

"Since Your Majesty dared to choose my Longshou Mountain, then my Longshou Mountain naturally wants to give Your Majesty a 100% certainty, but it's just ......"

Zhang Renliang stared, his heart moved slightly.

Li Congjian continued: "It's just that in the process, I will kill a lot of people and see a lot of blood, and I have never mentioned this to Your Majesty, because I don't want Your Majesty to be contaminated with this cause and effect. ”

"The Celestial Master means ......"

Zhang Renliang seemed to see a killing ruthlessness in Li Congjian's eyes.

Li Congjian leaned over and said expressionlessly: "These so-called variables of Your Majesty, in my opinion, are just a bunch of funerary goods used to sacrifice to the heavens and open the way on the road to achieve Your Majesty's great cause. ”

Zhang Renliang couldn't help but be silent.

An old heavenly master who has been cultivating in Longshou Mountain for many years, is he going to kill?

Li Congjian suddenly laughed coldly: "These people have found divine soldiers for Your Majesty, and they have also contributed their lives to Your Majesty's great cause, so why should Your Majesty care if they are loyal to Your Majesty?"

Zhang Renliang was stunned when he heard this, and after countless battles between heaven and man in the flickering of his eyes, he nodded slightly, probably acquiescing to Li Congjian's thoughts in his heart.

Although Zhang Renliang is good at authoritarianism, he is not actually a murderer.

But now he has a hard time riding a tiger.

This sword must be successful, and those variables must be cleared. He didn't want any accidents to happen at this point he had so hard to come to.

Zhang Renliang's mentality slowly calmed down, and his face gradually improved. Then, he thought for a while and said, "This king is here, and he still wants to inquire about the matter with the Heavenly Master!"

Li Congjian raised his hand slightly: "Your Majesty, please ask." ”

Zhang Renliang said: "On the school field today, there is a young man who calls himself Song Zang, the grandmaster realm, from Baicao Mountain. ”

"Hundred, grass, mountain......"

Li Congjian gently twisted his beard, squinted his eyes deeply, and his gaze gradually drifted into the distance with the trance candle flame......

In the study of Du Mansion in Qianyang East City, Du Youcai walked to the window with a cold face, and was looking up at the full moon that had begun to appear in the middle of the air with mutilated and half-hidden dark clouds.

On the bookcase behind him, there was a very ordinary piece of rice paper, and the place where the paper was written was the name of the lord of Baicao Mountain, Bai Feng Dance, and a private sect seal of Baicao Mountain was printed.

White Wind Dance, White Grass Mountain, Song Zang, Grandmaster......

Du Youcai's eyes were deep, and under the cool moon like water outside the window, he fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spit out a word calmly.

"Check!"

"Yes!"

In front of the bookcase, three black-clothed men kneeling on the ground responded sonorously, and after speaking, they turned into three afterimages and disappeared into the boundless night.

The wind seems to be getting more and more unstoppable......

To talk about Chen Ping'an's impression of Tang Yin, Chen Ping'an is both afraid and hateful, and if he goes deeper, even he can't explain it himself.

No, when everyone had finished their dinner, they gathered in groups of three to discuss the promulgation of the New Army during the day, and worried about their future. He carried his never-ending jade gourd idly, and ran to the edge of the cliff in the distance to pour himself a drink, and vaguely saw through the cool moonlight that a few wisps of mist rose from a glass wine cup placed in his hand.

In the valley late at night after the early winter snow, the air was filled with cold that seeped into the bone marrow. Tang Yin leaned comfortably on a stone, only wearing a thin coat like a veil, and the clothes gently covered half of the boulder.

This boulder looks ugly, bulky, old, and absurd, but the person sitting and lying down is Tang Yin, so it is completely different.

It's cold, it's craggy, it's vicissitudes, it's pure.

Tang Yin seemed to be smiling lightly, and seemed to be looking down to savor the faint taste in the wine glass, and the cold cold light half-covered his face, revealing only a faint face.

Eyebrows swept like snow.

Chen Ping'an looked at Tang Yin for a long time, and fell into a daze for a while, at this time, Wu Xiaofan slapped his palm, waking up Chen Ping'an.

"Ergou, what kind of god are you stunned about?"

Chen Ping'an's eyebrows were slightly locked, and he said with a heavy heart: "I'm thinking about the day!"

Huang Tingxuan took a chicken leg that had just come down from the dinner table in his hand, took a big bite of it, and said with a simple face: "Are you thinking about the official seal, this is a good thing." It's better than being nothing and being controlled by others everywhere. ”

Chen Ping'an shook his head.

"I was thinking about that person. As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Tang Yin in the distance.

"Tang Yin?"

Chen Ping'an nodded slightly: "Don't you think this person's behavior during the day is extremely unusual?"

After thinking about it, Wu Xiaofan also very much agreed with Chen Ping'an's law.

"Yes, this person's high-profile behavior during the day, if it is just to not kneel to the emperor, it obviously does not make sense. ”

Huang Tingxuan shook the chicken leg when he heard this, and said indignantly: "What's even more odious is that even if you are high-profile, you actually even involved Brother Dog, this matter can't be left like that." ”

Wu Xiaofan glanced at Huang Tingxuan: "If you don't forget it, what can you do, we can't beat others." ”

Huang Tingxuan looked at Tang Yin, and as his gaze moved up and down, until he saw the wine gourd in Tang Yin's hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Who said that you have to beat others to settle accounts, you rough people know how to fight. ”

Wu Xiaofan joked: "Yo, Master Xiaodao has an idea, tell me about it?"

Huang Tingxuan dragged his chin with his hand, laughed evilly, and suddenly waved his hand: "Ergou, take the wine." ”

......

By a little-known stream in a dark and windy valley, four people sat around a burning fire.

In addition to seven or eight large and small wine jars on the ground, there are countless delicacies such as dried meat, salted fish, and preserved fruits.

In order to completely get drunk Tang Yin, Chen Ping'an can be said to have invested a lot of money.

"Brother Tang, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen, my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless, what kind of Du Youcai, the first talent in Beijing, I am not worthy of carrying shoes with you...... Come, Brother Tang, I salute you for this cup!"

"Brother Tang, my ancestral book of heaven depends on you, I can't repay the little Daoist, this cup, I'll do it first, you can ...... it at will"

"Grandmaster Tang, don't say much else, just rush at your martial arts, come on, come on, I respect you......"

The three of them racked their brains and hollowed out their minds, saying all kinds of flattery and disobedience, and Tang Yin took them one by one with great patience.

"Good good ......"

"Lines, Lines, Lines......"

"Come, good wine ......"

But Tang Yin's stomach didn't know what it was made of, and it seemed that he couldn't fill it no matter how much he poured it.

After a while, Huang Tingxuan fell to the ground on his back with Wu Xiaofan's calves open.

Chen Ping'an was holding a piece of meat in his mouth, holding a wine jar in his hand, and he was already snoring......

Tang Yin held the wine gourd in his hand, looking at the three of them lazily, and the corners of his mouth raised a graceful arc slightly......

In the early morning of the next day, in a col not far from the Yanshan Guard School Field of the Royal Forbidden Army in the southwest hinterland of Qianyang City, a heart-rending roar shook the earth......

"Ah......h

"I have treasured the bamboo leaves for ten years......"

"My grandmother personally dried the meat for me......"

"And my favorite preserved fruit from Xiangshifang......"

"Huang Tingxuan, you have a bad idea......

Huang Tingxuan sat on the ground, looking at Chen Ping'an with tears in his eyes, and he didn't dare to say a word of explanation with his mouth pursed.

Wu Xiaofan had no choice but licked his face and comforted: "Don't be angry, don't be angry...... It's no wonder that Huang Xiaodao ...... Who knew this guy was a wine jar......"

Chen Ping'an wanted to cry without tears, but this time he lost his wife and broke his army...... He thought about it, gritted his teeth and said unwillingly:

"No, you can't just leave it at that...... Since we can't do it secretly, let's just stop doing it......"

Wu Xiaofan looked at Chen Ping'an, who was fierce, and his heart sank: "You...... What do you want to do......"

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed deeply, and he said meaningfully: "Hehe...... Tang Yin, the dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, this is the ...... you forced me"

......

The three of them briefly washed up by the stream, and soon returned to the school grounds.

At this time, the sky is sunny and the day is high.

There were many people on the school field, gathered at the registration point set up in front of the general stage of the Military Staff Department, and they all poked their heads to talk and look.

This time, the Military Staff Department sent six officials, each in a group of two to register for the martial arts competition, by this time, there were no less than 100 young people involved in the registration, and those martial arts people who were divided into the Shenwu Pavilion almost every sect had someone to sign up, and they also wanted to learn from other sects and test their own martial arts. Second, I don't want to embarrass my sect.

In addition to Chen Ping'an, who can sit back and relax and fantasize about how to bring Tang Yin to justice and torture him strictly tonight, although Huang Tingxuan was also assigned to the Shenwu Pavilion, he has no long skills, and he has no desire to be promoted and make a fortune, so he doesn't care much about the registration matters, but in his heart, he is like Chen Ping'an, thinking about how to make up for yesterday's stupid decision.

But for Wu Xiaofan, how to make a choice is extremely important.

As the descendant of a martial arts family, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of thriving the Wu family's leg method, and he has been keen on martial arts since he was a child, and he naturally refuses to give up this opportunity to learn from all martial arts masters. He thought about it a little in his heart, there were more than 2,000 disciples from the sect who entered the army this time, and there were about ten people from many sects, and there was only one like him, and most of them also had seven or eight disciples. In this way, there are more than 300 sects participating in the New Army this time. This occupies almost half of the entire Dajing Martial Arts.

Without knowing the depth of the disciples of these sects, if he rashly ran for the election and finally failed, it would spread to the entire martial arts and make his Wu family unable to raise his head from now on.

A competition related to the future and destiny, isn't it a gamble on the fate of his family?

In this game, Wu Xiaofan can't afford to lose.

Just as Wu Xiaofan hesitated, a warm palm suddenly rested on his shoulder.

"Why are you stunned here and don't sign up?"

Listening to this familiar voice, Wu Xiaofan was shocked, turned his head, but saw Tang Yin looking at him with warm eyes.

"Ah...... It's you!"

Tang Yin smiled: "What, I was surprised to see me?"

Wu Xiaofan was a little weak-hearted......

"That...... You...... Are you alright......"

"Hmm!" Tang Yin groaned. "I'm fine, but the thought of drinking so much of your wine last night made me feel a little sad not to ......"

......

Wu Xiaofan was crazy in his heart.

This is typically cheaper and more obedient......

"Ahem...... Wu Xiaofan smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, this little wine is nothing...... Chen Ergou's family has a lot of private collections, so ask him to get some more another day, and it's not far away anyway. ”

Tang Yin's eyes lit up: "Wonderful, wonderful! Then decide ...... so happily" Saying that, Tang Yin laughed and was about to leave, but Wu Xiaofan suddenly stopped him.

"That...... Wait a minute!"

Tang Yin turned his head, glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xiaofan said: "Has Brother Tang signed up for the competition?"

"This ......" Tang Yin touched his chin and said: "Although I really want to go up and have fun, but when I think of winning the first place, I have to be the pavilion master, think about it, forget it, I really don't have any interest in being an official......

Suddenly, Wu Xiaofan's heart seemed to be hurt by 10,000 points.

Wu Xiaofan blushed and asked with a look of shame: "Then you say, what will happen if I participate in the registration......

Tang Yin pondered for a while, and then, he squinted at Wu Xiaofan with those good-looking eyes and threw a gentle and touching smile.

The answer may only be known to you. ”

"Huh?"

In an instant, Wu Xiaofan's nerves seemed to have been touched to the most sensitive depths, he frowned, and Tang Yin's words kept lingering in his heart.

The answer may only be known to you. ”

In a trance, there seemed to be a glimmer of light rising in front of me.

However, by the time he came back to his senses, Tang Yin had already dragged a mysterious figure into the endless crowd.

At this moment, his eyes changed, and he became so expectant and longing.

He smiled slightly, walked towards the registration office without hesitation, and announced his name loudly.

"Jingshi Wu family, Wu Xiaofan, sign up for the competition. ”
