Sifangtai is under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple.

It has always been the residence of the Tang Dynasty court to entertain the envoys of the vassal states and the officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work.

Now, with the current gathering of talents from all over the world in the national examination, Kyoto Land is limited, so it can only temporarily transfer the Sifang Platform as a place to settle the candidates and the injured in the day examination.

There was a breeze and a drizzle.

Although it is now the height of summer, compared with the climate of the southern region, the northern Xinjiang is still slightly cold close to the north, and the continuous drizzle blows from the west, which makes the northern city of Chang'an a little cold in autumn. But this coldness has not changed much of the heat...

Sifang platform, southwest end, there is a majestic yafu on the side of the moat, and there are two eye-catching stone lions standing in front of the mansion. The saffron behind the lion has faded to sallow, but it is still powerful. Hundreds of red-robed and black-armored royal forest sergeants held swords and were stationed in the yafu, under the eaves. A general with a beard and a stubble strode in angrily, and shouted at the inner hall of the yafu as he walked: "Bastards, these northern barbarians are making trouble again!"

"Fuck me, pissed off at me!"

In the inner hall of the yafu, there are a few oil lamps, which are slightly dim.

There are dozens of swords, guns, swords, halberds, all different, on both sides of the hall, and the cold light looms as the edge.

Seven or eight royal forest generals, also dressed in black chain mail, were standing or sitting, with an iron stove in the center of the lobby and warming wine.

A general sitting in front of the fire glared at the comer and asked, "Are they beating people again?"

The visitor rudely scolded: "Nonsense, those northern barbarians are a breed of wild dogs, eating human food and pulling shit, and they will only bite people indiscriminately if they have nothing to do." They almost didn't scrap those hairy boys in Jinqian Boxing Gym today!"

"These mad dogs really bite people when they see them. ”

"They just don't clean up. ”

"If you hadn't stopped me that day, I would have cut off a few of their heads and come back for wine. ”

The visitor passed the speaker into the inner hall, sat down by the fire, and then removed his wet armor and dried it while the fire dried, "If I don't stop you, you'll be in trouble." Those mad dogs are not so easy to mess with. You don't have to be their opponent when it comes to playing life. ”

The words were a little meaningful, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

A military general sitting on the right side of the chair changed the topic quite appropriately and said with a little emotion: "But then again, this group of people is really good. Although their cultivation is not extreme, they can kill themselves with their fists, but even the tough guys who have been rolling in our military for many years are ashamed of themselves. It's not that I'm alarmist, I think if the barbarians in Beimang are all so virtuous, then after the military god returns to the west, how long can Beipi Pass resist?"

“......”

This statement is deeper and more convincing than the previous one.

The people living there are like lone wolves on the extremely cold snowfield, if they want to survive, they must have the will and physique to dare to fight between heaven and earth, and their barbarism and aggressiveness are the primitive consciousness forged by the extremely harsh environment.

Although there are only more than 300 people in the tens of millions of miles of territory in the north and most of them have been defeated one after another, the combat power shown by these people is undoubtedly one of the most amazing highlights in this year's heavenly examination room. Yumu Village fought to the death, they fought bloody and stubbornly against the royal family's 8,000 army for six days undefeated, and the blood-devouring pill was furious and reversed the disadvantage for a while, and almost completed a beautiful backhand kill. This made everyone in the world clearly see the strength of the Beimang warriors, and their hearts trembled to this day...

That great strategist has been dormant in the north, sharpening the edge for twenty years, and his momentum has become a raging tide. If everyone in his hands can be as brave as every, once the Black Python Divine Army in Beibi Pass loses the blessing of the saints, then the front line of the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be in danger. Once the Beibi Pass is lost, the Black Python Divine Army's hundreds of miles of land interception array will be cut off, and the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be in jeopardy.

This is probably the most worrying issue within the Tang Dynasty at present.

"Back then, that Taifu almost broke through the Xuanwu Gate and smashed the Yellow Dragon, and he was only half a step away from success. ”

"Zhenwushan's attitude has always been very resolute, but this year's rain is much more fierce than that year. ”

"Yes, he's always been my biggest threat. ”

A few people in the hall chatted in a dark tone, all worried.

Because, no matter how much this topic is talked about, it is so heavy.

The general who had just walked in was even more worried, picked up two pieces of firewood from his side and put them in the furnace, and said in a low voice: "Although the immortal oath is still there, restricting some saints from daring to kill lightly, but the ancient burials that are not in the oath have already revealed their minions and worship the mountain Zhenwu, and the rest of the saints must also be secretly watching." I think this situation is really not good for Datang. ”

"I have the Tower of Babel to guard it, and if I dare to do anything about the ancient burial, I can only kill myself. ”

"It's hard to say this too absolutely, after all, Babel Tower failed to kill Lu Fengxian in Kyoto back then. ”

"Lu Fengxian has become a thing of the past, Lei Tian's heart is broken, and he will definitely fall. ”

"But Zhu Xian has already appeared. ”

“......”

The atmosphere was a little silent again.

After a while, the general who was squatting at the door of the inner hall, with his back to everyone, squinted his eyes and looked at the drizzle in the sky of the yafu, and whispered extremely slowly: "Yes, Zhuxian has appeared, but why does the imperial court delay in making a move? Could it be that our majesty can really be so confident that he can ignore all threats, let the historical figures reappear, and then cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?"

This is the only reason that can be explained at the moment. ”

But that's not a reason. ”

"Don't worry, the Military Division's Mansion has already been laid out. ”

"Oh?"

As he spoke, he was suddenly interrupted by a thick voice.

The head of the inner hall was an older general, who had never spoken, and when he suddenly said it, he immediately attracted the suspicious eyes of everyone in the hall. He glanced at everyone like a dragonfly, then looked at the yafu, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the criminal department has sent a secret letter, as long as the national examination is over, we can let go and take down all these puppies in one fell swoop." Therefore, the things you are worried about, in fact, Your Majesty has already arranged them, so there is no need to worry about them here. ”

"Secret letter from the Criminal Department?"

"The Criminal Department takes over this matter?"

"Strange, isn't this supposed to be done by the Ministry of War?"

It stands to reason that the invasion of the North and the South was a military one, and the responsibility for the transfer and liquidation of troops should be under the control of the Ministry of War, and the officers and men here are all under the direct line of the Ministry of Ordnance and the Ministry of War, so how can they be ordered by the Ministry of Criminal Justice? If they issue official documents to the Ministry of Justice, they can only ask the personnel of the Ministry of Military Affairs to assist in handling the case, but how can this matter be mixed up with the handling of the case?

The fox is difficult to solve, and there seems to be a mystery hidden deeply.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the speaker explained: "The family has family rules, and the country has national laws. This group of puppies went to Beijing as candidates, and we can't take it hard, otherwise we will fall into the laughing stock of the world. ”

"You can't take it hard, do you have to send them to Dali Temple for trial?"

"That's what a few Shang Shulang should mean. ”

"On what charge?"

The head of the hall smiled gloomily: "Don't forget, Wei Yan's case can make them bear any charges." ”

The soldiers had an epiphany when they heard this: "......"

It was drizzling, cold and damp.

Time seemed to slow down with the silence in the yaku, and the recollection of the past came to mind.

Some people once suspected that the reason why the current emperor was so slow to hold his troops was looking for a suitable time node to fall the baryon. Now that the Criminal Department has issued a secret letter, secretly sending troops to Chang'an, this is undoubtedly announcing that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has found the time he thinks is appropriate. And the whispers in the yafu hall faintly revealed a message - Wei Yan's case is likely to be *, and the people involved in this case are far more than those northern barbarians...

Bypassing the Ordnance Division's Mansion, you can go around a few trails to reach the westernmost side of the Sifang Terrace.

The buildings here are beautiful and unique, and the trees are green, which is even more luxurious than the other courtyards. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, climb the building and look at dozens of miles of rivers and rivers from afar, and the terrain is excellent. At this time, there is a thick cooking smoke in such a feng shui treasure, which rises continuously in the drizzle, which can be called a great scenery.

You don't have to get closer, you can hear the noisy shouts from a distance, like the chirping of flies, rising and falling on each other...

"Jia Haoren, remember to add garlic to cook the pig's trotters!"

"Eh, I know the carving master, make sure you don't run away..."

"Brothers, copy guys, the rabbit cubs in Jinqian Boxing Gym are shouting again!"

"Let's bring two axes this time, cut off two legs and come back to add vegetables!"

“......”

The voice is rough and slightly untamed, you don't need to look at people, you can know that you must be a northerner who is not afraid of the ground that day.

And that's just the way it is...

Salamander service, Bai Lingyun teamed up with Yu Youran to ambush Xia Xun, whose life was hanging by a thread, and broke ninety percent of the northerners from Xia Xun's hands, which caused Xia Xun's later embarrassment, and finally forced to worship Qu Long. And those northerners who were eliminated from the heavenly test were like the rest of the candidates who were out, and after leaving the Fangcun Mountain Range, they were placed on the Sifang platform, waiting for the final results of the heavenly test.

Under the control of Huangqi, the treatment of northerners in Sifangtai is far better than that of ordinary candidates, eating the most delicious venison, drinking the most mellow spirits, and the most comfortable house. However, the character of the northerners was born rough and polished by the vast polar earth, how could they live such a golden bird-like life? As a result, within a few days of moving in, they shouted everywhere that they wanted to go out for a stroll, completely ignoring the curfew and rules in the Sifang Terrace. Later, the northerners, who were not satisfied with causing trouble outside, smashed their fists on the spot to the candidates from all over the Sifang platform.

Since then, the days of the northerners in the Sifang Terrace have become very lively.

Today, he beat the disciples of Wulei Mountain, and tomorrow he set fire to the house of the Shao Yan Luo Palace, and every once in a while, a big case broke out, turning this small group of more than ten miles of residences into another heavenly examination room. In the end, the imperial court officials and soldiers, who were responsible for provoking and maintaining stability, had to ask Shangguan to send a small army to be placed near the residence of the northerners to monitor their every move, and immediately send troops to stop the slightest abnormality. But even so, the domineering northerners don't buy it at all. Without Xia Xun's suppression, they are like a group of hungry wolves, who dares to provoke them, no matter if you are a Tang official or an ordinary candidate, you have to ask them the big fist of the casserole under their arms first!

Such a life can be regarded as a leisurely life, but I am afraid that there is not much time left for such a leisurely life.

Because, the crisis is already in their way...
