Pull the hat and walk towards the city gate.
"Who, remove the hat so that you can check!"
With a loud roar, when Xiao Xiao was still more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, he was stopped by the city gate guards.
And the moment the guards under the city called, the archers behind the city piers above the city head immediately pointed at Xiao Xiao, as long as he had any abnormal movements, he would definitely pierce his heart.
Xiao Xiao immediately raised his arm and removed the hat above his head, revealing a delicate face, white and clean, as warm as a big boy in the family when he grinned.
"Fellow soldiers, I'm just an ordinary soldier who has retired from the front line!"
After speaking, Xiao Xiao dragged his limping left foot, walked forward, and immediately handed a sergeant's ID to the soldiers guarding the city.
The defending sergeant saw Xiao Xiao's young face, and even had a scar on the left side of his face, and the skin and flesh rolled over, revealing the red tender flesh inside.
looked at the sergeant's certificate handed over, glanced at the certificate, looked at Xiao Xiao's appearance, and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Xiao's limping left foot, and squeezed out a faint smile on his face and replied: "It's amazing that this little brother was able to come back from the front line!"
Xiao Xiao showed a wry smile: "Big brother, are you making fun of me?"
The garrison sergeant immediately realized what Xiao Xiao meant, and hurriedly explained, "Little brother, I'm sorry I didn't mean what you thought? <
The garrison was speechless for a moment.
"What do you mean?, didn't you look down on the master when he saw that he had retreated from the front line and came first, thinking that he was a deserter, right?"
Xiao Xiao's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and his eyes flashed with a thick aura, even if he didn't agree with him, he was about to start killing, staring at the person in front of him with red eyes.
Seeing that the defending sergeant was embarrassed, Xiao Xiao faintly showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly hid it.
The companion behind the sergeant defending the city, seeing that his companion was in an embarrassing situation, immediately stepped forward to apologize, and said with a smile: "This little brother, I'm really sorry! I'm a brother who doesn't usually speak much, and I offended a lot just now, so please don't be surprised! What my brother means is that Xiao Hei can come back from the front line with a medal, which is very remarkable, plus one of my brother's own brothers, after going to the front line, has never come back, and no news has come back!" Therefore, he is very envious and admires the sergeant who can come back!"
The later garrison sergeant helped explain, and Xiao Xiao's face became a little better.
However, he still looked a little unhappy, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Did you say it earlier!"
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to the previous garrison sergeant, and asked directly: "This brother, can I enter the city later?"
"Yes, yes, of course! Welcome back!"
The city defender who came up from behind immediately showed a smiling face and made a gesture of invitation, allowing Xiao Xiao to enter the city.
These sergeants defending the city are most afraid of this kind of sergeant who has returned from being wounded on the front line, because they don't know whether the other party is a deserter or really returned wounded for the imperial campaign.
If it is the former, after the deserter escapes back, he will definitely be afraid of making a noise, but if they stop each other at the city gate, make a noise, and make a big fuss, then the deserter will definitely be afraid of being noticed and punished by the empire, and would rather bow his head temporarily, but this kind of person who is in military service, how can he be easily offended, and he will definitely retaliate afterwards!
And another kind of soldier who was wounded in the battle for the empire and returned is even more unoffended!
For this kind of sergeant who has been wounded in battle, they will definitely be appeased, but they, the soldiers defending the city, are still embarrassed by the heroes of the imperial war, and they are known from above, so naturally they do not have their good fruit to eat.
Therefore, they, the little Luo Luo who guards the city, are most afraid of offending the big people or causing trouble, so they would rather settle the matter and make things bigger.
"Thank you very much!"
Xiao Xiao showed a smile and saluted and thanked him, not enough to roll up his sleeves and snort coldly after seeing the previous city defender.
Go off in a huff.
Seeing Xiao Xiao's figure gradually disappearing at the city gate, the sergeant defending the city behind pushed the sergeant in front and sighed: "Brother, what's the matter with you? How many times have I taught you, don't talk nonsense, you just don't listen! This doesn't offend people again!
Shaking his head, he returned to his original position and continued to stand guard.
And Xiao Xiao, who had already entered the city, could naturally hear the words of the two soldiers guarding the city behind him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Lao Tzu is still smart, get such an unimpeded sergeant certificate, you don't have to waste your lips and tongue, you can easily pass through every county town!"
After Xiao Xiao entered the city, he first found a restaurant to live in and began to inquire about some news about the war.
Wu Lingyuan, as the first martial king of the Great Chu Empire, once had a brilliant record of killing the holy powerhouse.
And Wulingyuan's hometown complex is very serious, since he became the king of Wu, he has established a force in his hometown, called the palace of the king of Wu.
And let some proud disciples of the sect be stationed in the Martial King Hall all the year round, and select some people with excellent martial arts talents to enter the door wall.
Because of his role as the first martial king, the Great Chu Emperor made him a national teacher, and at the same time worked part-time to protect the safety of Chu Jun.
The selection right of the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Chu Empire happened to be in the hands of Wu Lingyuan.
And just after autumn and winter, it is the triennial Royal Forest Army selection competition.
Therefore, Wuling County is particularly lively, and the warriors of the nearby county towns, whether they are coming to see the excitement or really come to participate in the Royal Forest Army Selection Competition, are all gathered in Wuling County.
There are even some warriors in distant county towns who have traveled thousands of miles to Wuling County to participate in the selection competition in order to be able to enter the imperial capital of the Imperial Forest Army.
Such a grand event, Xiao Xiao just happened to bump into it.
How can you let it go easily, and at the same time have some thoughts in your heart.
If you can blend in with Chu Jun's Imperial Forest Army, then you can enter the Chu Imperial Palace justifiably, and you can find out more about the situation inside.
This makes it much easier to complete the assassination mission.
In the early morning of the next day, it was the day when the Wuwang Palace began to recruit reserve sergeants of the Imperial Forest Army.
Xiao Xiao came to the designated recruitment location of the Martial King Hall early.
When Xiao Xiao arrived at a huge square and arena specially built by the Wuwang Palace in order to recruit the Imperial Forest Army, a huge statue was placed in the square.
**Carved from white materials, the statue is carved with a middle-aged man holding a halberd painted by Fang Tian, heroic and tall, with an unusually tall figure, more than two meters tall.
Wearing a sleeveless leopard skin and knotted muscles in his arms, he is lifelike, as if the power is beating inside.
His eyes stared at the sky, revealing a trace of indisputable expression.
The right leg is bent and stands in front of the left leg, giving it a mountain-like heaviness, as if it is blocking all the world's storms in front of it.
There is an infinite sense of security behind it
Xiao Xiao smiled in his heart: "The Sao Bao character in front of him must be the legendary First Martial King of the Great Chu Empire, Wulingyuan!"
"He looks good, but he's just a little self-righteous!" Xiao Xiao sneered secretly.
Angry at the sky, he put on a casual posture, obviously did not put this world in his eyes at all, he was telling everyone who came and went that he was ambitious, his heart was higher than the sky, and for all living beings, he was in a posture of overlooking him
Xiao Xiao saw that as long as the warriors came here, they would bow deeply to the statue in the center of the square.
Shaking his head, he obviously felt ridiculous that Wu Lingyuan's status in the hearts of these martial artists was so high.
In fact, this is also the respect and belief of Wulingyuan to establish the Wuwang Palace in Wuling County, and it is also because Wulingyuan is the pride of the people of Wuling County, so he has his current status.
The mahogany door of the Martial King Hall opened, and three white-clothed warriors came out from inside, all arrogant and superior, followed by five or six Tsing Yi warriors.
And every Tsing Yi warrior has a two-person tall Fang Tian painting halberd behind him, and fortunately, the gate of the Martial King Palace is high enough, otherwise the Tsing Yi warrior behind him may not be able to get out of the gate.
Xiao Xiao thought a little mischievously.
The warrior in the middle of the three white-clothed plain robes who came out first, about thirty years old, looks quite handsome, but also handsome, with a medium build, long hair tied in a bun, coiled behind him, looks a bit like a Taoist priest, but the two tufts of white hair on his temples are in front of his shoulders, which looks a little flowing and uninhibited.
"The seventeenth disciple of the Martial King, Wu Xi! Thank you here for being able to give face to the family teacher and the Martial King Palace, and participate in this year's Royal Forest Army Selection Competition. ”
After Wu Xi finished speaking, he took the lead in arching his hand to all the warriors under His Royal Highness King Wu.
There was a burst of compliments and polite voices from below.
"This year's Royal Forest Army Selection Competition, thanks to the love of the family teacher, is handed over to our three brothers and sisters to deal with it with full authority! I hope that all colleagues and friends can act in accordance with the rules of our Martial King Palace! Our Martial King Palace will be able to uphold the principle of fairness and justice and preside over this competition!"
Wu Xi had a proud expression on his face, obviously he was still confident in the prestige of the Martial King Palace!
If someone doesn't follow the rules, I'm afraid they will be held accountable by the Martial King Palace.
After Wu Xi finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from below, and there was an endless stream
Seeing all this, Wu Xi and the two junior disciples beside him showed a faint smile in their eyes, and after the three of them glanced at each other, they nodded slightly.
Standing to the right of Wu Xi, a slightly younger man in white clothes and plain robes stepped forward, while Wu Xi turned back with another man and sat down on a seat behind the ring in the center of the square.
"In Xia Wu Eighteen, you are the trialist of this Imperial Forest Army Selection Competition! Later, we will have a stone lock to test your strength in this ring, as long as you can hold on to the stone lock for the specified time, you can enter the next round of the competition. ”
After Wu Eighteen finished speaking, he stretched out his palm and swiped forward, and the six Tsing Yi warriors behind the ring carried out a huge stone lock.
The top of the stone lock is pierced with an iron ring, and two ear handles are pierced on both sides.
The six of them shouted in unison: "Release!"
There were tens of thousands of pounds of stone locks smashed on the ring, shaking the ring for a while
