Chapter 156: Selection
Today is the third level of the 'Dragon Praetorian Guard' - the selection of martial arts.
There are hundreds of people in the square in the imperial city, most of them are responsible for guarding the imperial city's 'Golden Guards' and 'Dragon Guards', as well as the palace maids and eunuchs who are responsible for cleaning up, Wu Jingguo sits in the middle, two guards stand behind him, he has four chairs on the left and right, and on them are the close ministers of the emperor's side, Wang Xiu and Xu Nianen, as well as the top few masters in the 'Dragon Guard', Jin Milling, Zhuang Zejing, Zhao Ji, and three people are the famous 'Zhengqi Shuangwei' and ' in the 'Golden Guard' There is no trace for a hundred miles', because he is a person who recommends and guaries, he cannot participate in the judgment of victory or defeat, so he has no seat, he has to stand on the side.
There are a total of 120 people on the list of 'Dragon Guards', after the elimination of the first two levels a few days ago, there are only 18 people left, among these eighteen people, except for Ouyang Fei's face was injured and no one found various excuses for the future, only the young man in black was not directly nominated by Wu Jingguo, and the remaining sixteen people are all Wu Jingguo's sworn friends, Wu Jingguo's ministers who took the opportunity to win over, and those who spent a lot of money, those who spent not too much silver, and the relatives and disciples of the recommenders with low official positions have long been eliminated by the first and second passes.
For Wu Jingguo, he presided over the selection of the 'Dragon Praetorian Guard' and it was a good opportunity for him to install people around the emperor and buy the ministers of the DPRK and China, but today he was on pins and needles, not only did he not have the slightest joy, but he was more anxious. The reason is very simple, he just got the news that yesterday evening the moon nurse was very politely invited out of the palace by the emperor. The moon milk is the nurse of the previous emperor, the emperor is very good to it, although he is older, he is quite nostalgic for it, and has not let it out of the palace, the emperor died, the new emperor has not eaten her milk, naturally there is nothing to be nostalgic for her, so he rewarded some gold and silver and invited him out of the palace. This matter is reasonable, but Wu Jingguo is a little flustered, not for anything else, the moon lady and him are opposite, and Wu Jingguo will naturally panic if his wife runs away. Especially his wife was snatched from him by his boss eunuch who had killed him before, and he was able to have such achievements over the years thanks to the emperor's trust in him, the reason why the emperor trusted him was because of his daughter-in-law, and now that the emperor has changed, his daughter-in-law has been forced to run away. (The new emperor doesn't seem to have a wet nurse, and there is no woman who makes him obey his words, and Wu Jingguokong's ability to pick up girls is useless)
The most reliable Neiying in the palace was suddenly gone, and Wu Jingguo sat on the chair and only felt as if the internal organs had been hollowed out, and the skin and flesh on his body did not feel much. A sentence was repeated in my heart: "It's okay, it will be fine, the emperor is just acting according to the system, and has no other meaning." ”
"The Governor...... Governor?"
"Huh?"
"You're all set, can you get started?"
"Ang..... Good!." Wu Jingguo nodded.
"The selection of the 'Dragon Guard' Wuguan began, two by two, the winner left the loser to go, the two sides only talked about victory and defeat, not fighting for life and death, the first 'Gang Ziquan' descendant Wu Tan fought against the 'Siping Gun' descendant Guan Chang. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a lean man in his thirties walked into the arena, and the other was a young man with a steady and somewhat military stride, who looked like a master in the army.
"One is the nephew of Wu Xing, Wu Xi's two personal guards, and the other is the nephew of Lord Jingshi Fucheng, which one does Wu Du hope to win?" Xu Nianen glanced at Wu Jingguo and asked.
Wu Jingguo said: "They are all dedicated to serving the imperial court, and whoever wins and who loses is the same." ”
Xu Nianen smiled.
On the field, the two saluted each other, with the eunuch 'start', Guan Chang's spear shook and stabbed his face, it was a move 'high four flat guns', Wu Tan's body was pulled, like a pine and cypress, his feet firmly grasped the ground, and suddenly his nose was heavily 'hum', and he stepped out with a 'snap' in one step, and his right fist was slung out with his shoulder and arm with his elbow and elbow, and his shoulder, arm and elbow were like one and suddenly swung out, separating the spear, and at the same time the left fist bombarded out as if it popped out of the body.
The spear is off, Wu Tan's fist has arrived, Guan Chang jumped back, avoided a blow, the head of the gun returned to the hook, and the arms were sent and a shot was stabbed, this shot was almost the same as Fang Cai, Wu Tan's move remained the same, and he blocked with a punch on his body, and a punch came out. The spear is biased again, the head of the spear touches the ground, Guan Chang raised the tail of the gun with one hand and turned around and left, Wu Tan's punch just smashed on the barrel of the gun, Guan Chang sent it backhanded, and the spear stabbed Wu Tan's feet like a plow......
Guan Changyun made the spear 'retreat', 'against the gun', 'deceit', 'end', and 'hiding the gun' in five ways, when retreating, when entering the trap, everywhere traps; high, medium, low, and four flat guns, the upper, middle and lower three roads are all covered, and the tip of the spear is always high and sometimes low, and everywhere is the key point. Wu Tan has advanced and not retreated, the whole body muscles and bones are like a bow full of strings, the moves are like stretches, the style is like an explosion, the mighty is incomparable, the two of them fought more than 30 moves, Guan Chang rebounded again to retreat and retreat, Wu Tan followed up and waved his fist to block, the shoulder on one side of the body was like a bowstring and bounced out, Guan Chang's body fell sideways to open the distance, and the spear in his hand was thrown back. 'Fraud and defeat', the head of the gun pointed downward obliquely, and it was against Wu Tan's knee, Wu Tan suddenly felt a stinging pain in his knee when he made a move, and he hurriedly withdrew his move and jumped back, Guan Chang's gun tail poked the ground and his body rose, the spear was thrown out, and the arm was sent forward, and the tip of the gun was pointed at Wu Tan's throat.
"Guan Chang, win. In the second scene, Ge Xiao, the successor of the 'Nine Palace Sword', versus Yao Yan, the successor of the 'Jiafu Knife'. ”
These two people are naturally relatives of the officials of the DPRK and China, and the candidates are all provided by Wu Jingguo, so for him to help these people get to this point, no matter who wins or loses, he must also accept his affection.
A young man walked into the arena slowly, and the other person was a rather delicate woman, this woman was naturally Yao Yan, the two said hello, Yao Yan 'wrapped his head around his head', the waist knife passed through the brain, protected the upper body, and the waist twisted and turned into a move of 'turning around and sharpening the knife', and swept out. Ge Xiao raised his sword to stand it, the long sword was raised, and the two fought in one place.
After more than 50 moves, Yao Yan was cut off the corner of her skirt by Ge Xiao's hanging sword, Yao Yan knew that the other party was merciful, and immediately admitted defeat. The next five victories are three of the masters in the army, all three of them are good at spears, and the remaining two are the sons of the deputy gang leader of the 'Bingjia Gang', Xu Bing, and the other is the nephew of Huo Wuyang, the leader of the 'Fenghuomen', these two gangs are two of the four major gangs in Zhongzhou.
"Lord Zhuang, the selection of this year's 'Dragon Praetorian Guard' is far worse than your last time. Not only is there no such top master as Lord Jing and Master Zhuang, but he has never seen it at the same level as Quan Sniper, and it is even much worse than Li Ge and others, it seems that the other six of the top ten masters in Da Nei will be made up by old men such as Feng Yao and Jia Shen. "Hundred miles without a trace.
Zhuang Zejing said with a smile: "I'm just the top ten masters of the 'Dragon Guard', and there are still masters like 'Lord Baili' and Brother Zhengqi in Da Nei. ”
Baili Wuxian said: "I'm a woman, how dare I compete with you?"
Zhuang Zejing said: "Lord Baili is a win. ”
Baili Wuxian glanced at him and smiled slightly, although it was not pretty, but there was a hint of charm in the capable.
"In the eighth game, Guo Yu vs. Yang Zefeng. ”
The eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, and as his words fell, a young man walked into the square with a long knife in his hand, looking left and right in anticipation, and then the young man in black also slowly walked in.
"It's finally the kid's turn. "Impermanence hugged his arms and looked dozing.
"Fourth Brother, is that kid the person you protect?" asked Zhengwei of the 'Zhengqi Shuangwei'.
"Well, who else can find such a good talent but me?" said Yu Wuchang.
Zhengwei said: "Guo Yu is Zhu Tong's brother-in-law, and his martial arts are not under him, the 'Golden Guard' Qianhu, Zhu Tong probably wears gold clothes for this kid, you doll should be careful." ”
Yu Wuchang said: "Lao Zheng, are you comparing Zhu Tong's wasteful brother-in-law with my people?"
"Oh?" said Shoei smiling interestedly. "Forget about what you're capable of. ”
He smiled and didn't explain.
On the field, the two clasped each other's fists and saluted.
"Let's go!"
"Offended!" 'Choking', Guo Yu pulled out the knife out of the sheath, and followed the body to split the head is a knife, the long knife came with the sound of breaking through the air, the pace was fast, and the ruthlessness of the knife made everyone present couldn't help but nod, Zhu Tong also watched the battle on the other side, and couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the speed of his brother-in-law's knife, he knew that Guo Yu's knife still had a back move, whether the enemy was blocking, fighting back or dodging, he would fall into the trap of the back move.
The black-clothed young man stepped forward with his hands behind his back, the blade was close to his body, and the blade on one side of his body was cut down, Guo Yu's knife was cut down, and then his wrist should be swept out, and before he could change his moves, he suddenly saw the black-clothed young man's shoulders and back stretched into his arms like a string full of bows.
'Bang!', Guo Yu flew out upside down in the air, becoming hasty, everyone had not yet seen the two of them shoot, the victory and defeat had been divided, and the golden milling reaction was like an electric iron chain that had wrapped Guo Yu, and then shook his hand and put it down steadily.
"Huh, it's the strength of the 'Handle Fist', this kid didn't make a single move to win, when did the 'Handle Fist' have such a successor?" Zhao Yi was shocked, turned his head to look at Wu Xing and Wu Xi brothers behind Wu Jingguo, both of them shook their heads, obviously not their peers.
"In the eighth game, Yang Ze wins!" the eunuch shouted.
"What a powerful doll, this trick is much more timed than Wu Tan's sophistication. Zhengwei praised.
"What? do you want to try it yourself?" said Impermanence.
Zhengwei's body moved, he seemed to be a little interested, hesitated slightly, and finally gave up, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the fourth child's abacus has always been shrewd, I won't be pleasing if I win, and I can't afford to lose that person if I miss." ”
He smiled and stopped making a sound.
"Master Zhuang is well-informed, what kind of sect do you think this young man is?" asked Baili Wuxi.
This trick seems to be something he has learned and sold, and the real number of families is hard to say. ”
"In the battle, he can seize the gap of this moment and win in danger, this young man is not ordinary, if he challenges the position of the top ten masters, it will be interesting to see. "Hundred miles without a trace.
"It's too early for Lord Baili to say, the last person in the 'Dragon Guard' is a master selected in the election of 1,000 people, how can Guo Yu and his ilk compare? This time there are only 100 people selected, it can be said that the tallest one among the dwarves makes up for a few shortcomings, no matter how tall he is, he is only selected from the dwarf, can Lord Baili take it seriously?" Seeing that many people were optimistic about the black-clothed young man Zhao Ji did not buy it, he said back.
"Lord Zhao, don't worry, let's take a look. ”
During the discussion, the eunuch had already shouted that the ninth person was selected to play, and the ninth game was the last game of the first round, by 'Huang Man' against 'Ouyang Fei', because Ouyang Fei did not arrive, so Huang Man won by bye, and everyone rested for a while to prepare for the second round.
"Hehe, it's worthy of Huang Baiqing's relationship, you can win without fighting. Impermanence sarcastically said.
