Chapter Twenty-Four: Good Things Are Coming

Xie Tong said, "But I heard that you need to have the recommendation of the festival envoy to enter the school."

Huo Zixin said with a smile: "This is not difficult for the little brother, don't forget that the little brother came to Chang'an on behalf of the Anxi Protectorate, don't say that a school field, even the Holy Dinner is also eligible to participate, this big brother doesn't have to worry."

Xie Tong said, "That's very good, I'm still worried about entering the school grounds! It's getting late today, and I don't know where the virtuous brother is resting." ”

Huo Zixin said, "Of course, this is not difficult for the little brother, presumably the eldest brother has no place to live, so it is better to go with the little brother!"

Xie Tong thought about it, and now he was indeed homeless, and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Huo Zixin said, "Why did I follow such a useless big brother, shopkeeper, bring me two jars of wine, I want to take it away."

Huo Zixin's so-called resting place is near the Confucius Temple outside the city, which is a dilapidated house that has been uninhabited for a long time, but fortunately, the two of them are from the military, and they have seen all kinds of bad situations, and this bit of suffering is really nothing.

For two days in a row, the two lived in Huo Zixin's secret residence, and the two not only talked about the general trend of the world, but also learned martial arts, and both benefited each other a lot.

Finally arrived at the day of the martial arts competition, Xie Tong was very early on this day, he thought twice, and decided to enter the school field with Huo Zixin, the reason is that the intimate relationship between the two has been well known to the enemy, and Song Wenyuan is different, since he stepped into Chang'an, he has never made friends with Song Wenyuan publicly, everything is in private and secret contact, although he was suspected by the enemy in the drifting to the painting pavilion, but the wit of the nightingale saved all this, Song Wenyuan has become his trump card, and the showdown must not be revealed until the last moment.

Huo Zixin got up earlier than Xie Tong, he didn't know where to buy a few steaming buns, and carried them all the way from the outside to the dilapidated house.

Xie Tong said, "I didn't expect my little brother to be so diligent, blessed to be an elder brother."

Huo Zixin said for a long time, "There's no way! With such a big brother, you can't be diligent or not, so let's eat quickly! It's far away from the school field, and you have to hurry after eating!"

Xie Tong ate seven or eight buns in a row, but he didn't know what the filling was, so he swallowed the dates and swallowed them.

Huo Zixin, on the other hand, ate very elegantly! He chewed slowly, as if he was enjoying it.

Xie Tong smiled, "Eating a bun is like a girl! No wonder it's so big, there is not even a woman!"

Huo Zixin said slowly, "Lao Tzu is not a starving ghost reincarnated, why do you eat so fast! What's more, who can compare with the eldest brother, you have made a lot of girls, what Hong Shan, Wang Wanru, and what nightingale! The younger brother must be sighing to himself! The younger brother is dedicated to the pursuit of martial arts, and he has no distractions, for fear of being distracted, hey, you are an ordinary man after all, how can you experience the ultimate meaning of martial arts!"

Xie Tong said, "Don't talk about martial arts and Lao Tzu, just your three-legged cat's kung fu, it's still too early to talk about the ultimate in martial arts, and don't slander Lao Tzu every day, Lao Tzu is just a woman, that is, your sister-in-law Hong Shan, nothing else, don't talk nonsense in the future."

When Huo Zixin heard this, his heart moved, and a burst of electricity surged through his heart, and then it flashed away, it was an indescribable taste, like joy, like sadness, and it was an indescribable feeling. He patted the dust off his body and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked along the country road and slowly crossed towards the school field.

Since Shengshang participated in the competition on the school field, he would be the highest guest. This competition has added a lot of highlights, and the grade has risen a lot. However, the security work is also very good. The school field has been under martial law within a radius of 30 miles, and it is absolutely impossible to enter without a token issued by the forbidden army or a waist card issued by the festival envoy, otherwise it should be punished as trespassing into the military camp and executed on the spot.

As soon as they walked near the forbidden barracks, a group of soldiers had already raised their spears and aimed their spears at the two of them. One of the responsible squad leaders shouted, "Stop coming, can't you see martial law here?

Huo Zixin proudly took out a waist card from his waist, the size of a palm of the waist card, with a three-inch long gold thread hanging on it, the whole waist card was made of pure gold, shining in the sunlight, the waist card was engraved with a few words, Anxi was the protector of the house, the people of the Praetorian Guard have always been bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, seeing Huo Zixin took out the waist card, he quickly took it, this squad leader is quite knowledgeable, when he saw this golden waist card, he knew that it was a big man who arrived, but how to look at the two of them have the style of being officials, but this card is true, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly piled up a smile and said" I don't know if it's the arrival of the two adults, and the small ones have no eyes, but today is the Holy One's visit to the school, and everything needs to be strictly investigated, and I hope that the adults will atone for their sins. Adult, please. After that, he hurriedly handed over the waist card.

Huo Zixin took the waist card, smiled at Xie Tong, and pulled him into the school field with great strides.

The school field in Chang'an is much larger than that in Luoyang and Yangzhou, I don't know if it is because of the feet of the Son of Heaven, the scale of the school field is very amazing, looking at it from a distance, there is almost no end in sight. The perimeter of this school is very tightly guarded, and the guards of the Praetorian Guard stand in two rows, looking at it as if they are going to the execution ground.

When he arrived at the door of the main hall of the school field, before he entered, Xie Tong had already heard the exclamations of the crowd, and it seemed that the competition in the school field was very exciting. He instinctively sweated in his palms, although he was used to seeing big scenes, but there was the first person in the Tang Empire, including the current Son of Heaven, this was an unprecedented prosperous era, how could he not be nervous.

Huo Zixin's body trembled slightly with excitement, this is also the best time for him to become famous, if he can win the championship in one fell swoop, it will have a more direct affirmation and help for his breakthrough in martial arts.

A group of Praetorian guards stopped the two, and the leader was Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru, as the leader of the Praetorian Guard, actually waited for the two of them in person again, apparently just received the news.

Sima Xiangru smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see Brother Xie here, it's really too coincidental!"

Without waiting for Xie Tong to answer, Huo Zixin said coldly, "We have a waist card, why stop us and wait."

Sima Xiangru said, "Brother Huo has a waist card, of course you can enter the school to watch the game or end the game, but Brother Xie is afraid that he can't!"

Huo Zixin said angrily, "Why?"

Sima Xiangru put away his sinister expression, and said seriously, "Brother Huo is a general under Lord Chen of the Anxi Festival, and he can be regarded as a person recommended by Lord Chen, so he can naturally enter, while Xie Tong is not so lucky." No one recommended it, so I had to listen to this deafening cheer again."

After that, he burst out laughing, and the guards laughed with him.

Huo Zixin said angrily: "Isn't it okay for Lord Chen to recommend two people to participate!

Sima Xiangru's face showed a fierce expression, and said, "Presumptuous, do you think this is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate? The rules are set by the saints, and no one can change them except the saints."

Xie Tong was unhappy in his heart, and said, "I am the general of Lord Wang, the envoy of Hebei Jiedu, and Lord Wang should recommend me to enter!"

Sima Xiangru showed a wicked smile again, and said, "Brother Xie really overestimates himself, Lord Wang has already recommended Xue Yue, the commander of the forward battalion of the Hebei Army, I'm afraid that Brother Xie will listen outside this door today."

Xie Tong was shocked in his heart, knowing that the other party had deliberately played tricks, forcing Wang Daoxun to recommend Xue Yue.

Huo Zixin rushed forward angrily, almost about to fight Sima Xiangru with fists and feet, but was pulled by Xie Tong.

Sima Xiangru looked at the two of them contemptuously, and said, "Count you Xie Tong acquaintance, this commander is responsible for the safety of the entire school field, and anyone who makes trouble will be cut first and then played, Huo Zixin, you give me care."

In the face of this naked intimidation, Huo Zixin also calmed down, this kind of occasion really can't be rash, if he really makes a stupid move, Sima Xiangru can't ask for it, just take this opportunity to get rid of the two of them in a high-sounding manner, and no one will suspect it.

Xie Tong lay next to Huo Zixin's ear and said, "Go find Song Wenyuan!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Huo Zixin swaggered in.

Xie Tong stood outside the door with a smile, listening to the deafening cries in the venue.

Sima Xiangru looked at him with a wicked smile on his face and said, "Don't waste your efforts, I'm afraid you won't have a chance today."

Xie Tong was also calm, he sat directly on the steps at the entrance of the school, looked at Sima Xiangru from afar, and said, "Brother Xiangru, don't you plan to show your skills?"

Sima Xiangru didn't expect Xie Tong to talk to him eloquently, talking to him like a brother and friend, his heart moved, if he hadn't experienced so much pain, without so many vendettas, the two might have been close comrades-in-arms, but he immediately gave up this idea, he was the leader of the clan valve, and Xie Tong was born in a poor family, the two are very different, and it is impossible to go together. He smiled and said, "Brother Xie has such a strange idea, but since Brother Xie asked, Xiangru is not hiding it, this competition is reserved for those fledgling boys, to see if they can seek an official position in the army of the Southern Expedition, and Xiangru himself has been appointed by the Holy Lord as the commander of the Middle Route Army, the official general, there is no need to fight for this, it is better to leave some opportunities for the young sons!"

Xie Tong chewed his words carefully, Sima Xiang is indeed quite honest, he is a general, there is really no need to surrender his identity.

Sima Xiangru said again, "But this competition is very exciting, equestrian has come to an end, the next is an archery competition, and the last is a martial arts competition, I heard that there are many masters who participated in the competition and archery, and which of your brothers may not be able to win the championship." Especially a master from the Hainan Sword School, this time it is really the Hainan Sword School. ”

When he first heard about the Hainan Sword Sect, Xie Tong once again recalled that the two of them pretended to be disciples of the Hainan Sword Sect and went to Yangzhou, and he suddenly felt funny in his heart. Xie Tong said, "Brother Sima should mention more, I will pay attention, okay! I may want to go in." At this moment, his spiritual sense sensed that two people rushed out of the corridor of the passage, obviously for him, so he deliberately said the last sentence!
