I do not know how long it has been.
The fireworks have dissipated, and there is silence inside and outside.
Under the setting sun at dusk, the sixty or seventy students inside and outside the valley remained sluggish, as if immersed in the dream of fireworks and unable to extricate themselves.
This sluggishness seemed to last only a moment, and then seemed to persist for a long time.
Finally, Huo Chaoqun came to his senses and said, "Is this your teaching?"
At the same time, Qu Huan said: "Great, what a lesson!"
Huo Chaoqun swallowed and said sincerely: "Indeed."
Qu Huan didn't listen to what he said, grabbed him and yelled, "Did you see, we are teaching metaphors, it's us teaching metaphors! What is the style of a swordsman? What is a romantic figure? Such a person is actually our teachings? We are teaching metaphors." Is Jiaoyu actually such a person?”
Huo Chaoqun listened to his incoherent words and nonsense, and laughed dryly: "Why do you seem like you don't know what he's capable of?"
Qu Huan shook his head. At this time, Tang Zhao's voice came clearly and steadily from the wind, reaching everyone's ears clearly: "All students, the situation has changed. I order you to put aside all battles and tasks to Meet outside the mountain pass on the east side. If you can walk, you can walk by yourself. If you can’t walk, the classmates next to you can help. Set off immediately."
The order was simple, and the tone was firm but not serious, but it seemed like a switch was turned on, and all the students ran up the mountain without hesitation. The speed is faster than the talisman puppets commanded by the puppets.
Although there were injuries and attrition by this time, most students were not unable to walk. Even some candidates looked exhausted and unable to walk, and were sitting in the corners to rest. At this time, they suddenly jumped up and ran faster than rabbits. The few who were seriously injured were helped by classmates.
The mountain pass to the east is not far from where Feng Ling led people to surround Yun Zhongyu. Feng Ling heard the sound of gathering, stayed for a moment, and immediately reminded: "The instruction is coming! Be careful that she runs away."
Yun Zhongyu also came over, gently smoothed his hair that was not messy, and said, "What are you talking about? Why should I run? I was just going to ask you to tell me something."
Feng Ling naturally didn't believe it, and the people still surrounded him tightly, but until Tang Zhao came down, Yun Zhongyu did not run away.
At this time, the students abandoned their puppets and began to gather. No matter what camp they are in, they are all trained by military law and are very efficient when assembled.
When Tang Zhao came down from the mountain, he saw that the team was almost lined up.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the queue was quite solemn. It was as if Tang Zhao hadn't spoken yet, and his classmates already knew that it was a matter of life and death.
Tang Zhao also saw several familiar classmates, including the always cold and arrogant Ouyang Zhou, the literary talent Fei Fei who was particularly "enthusiastic" about him, Qu Huan who liked to be the boss, and Qin Yongcheng, who was closest to him. Although they tried to stay calm, they There is something more in his eyes.
Maybe it's respect?
In fact, they also respected Tang Zhao before, but this respect should come more from "gratitude". I am grateful for Tang Zhao's "intention" and admire Tang Zhao's character. For a teaching, it is a great achievement to gain so much "respect" in just a few months.
And the further awe and more reverence will come from absolute strength.
Just like what Tang Zhao has done now, destroying an enemy alone and defeating a hundred with one finger is beyond the imagination of young people. Even those young people who have swordsmen at home are still shocked from the bottom of their hearts when facing such a scene. .
Young people are the most impressed by this kind of strength, and they will be truly in awe once they feel shocked.
The awe that comes from strength, coupled with the ongoing respect and gratitude, can easily rise to "worship".
If Tang Zhao had selfish motives, he could use it a little at this time to ask students to help him with some less honorable private matters.
Of course, Tang Zhao had no such thoughts. Even the flash of small pride immediately gave way to the big event in front of him. He only said solemnly: "I'll make a long story short. There is a breaking tide in front of the end area, and now the way forward is cut off. We can only Move to the rear immediately."
The Broken Tide is not something that needs to be kept secret, and students are not mentally fragile and can withstand bad news.
It doesn't matter whether the students can understand the so-called "Broken Tide". Anyway, there will be people like Qu Huan who are knowledgeable and good teachers who can explain it to Tang Zhao.
Tang Zhao just needs to inform him that he needs to be transferred.
"Now I order all the candidates to line up and move to the intersection of Area B. They must arrive before midnight. Now, go back and take your horses."
Compared to horses, people are still more important. If it is an extremely urgent situation, Tang Zhao will notify the abandoned horses to move on foot, but it has not reached this step yet, so take all the horses with you.
When the students went to lead the horses, Tang Zhao found Huo Chaoqun and said, "Were you in command just now?"
Huo Chaoqun looked serious and said, "It's the student."
Tang Zhaodao: "You have done a good job. It is not easy to unite everyone. The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the flat rock knows the honest minister. In this kind of melee, talents like you are needed to stand out. Now I accept your order as the main rider, with the All the students are heading towards the mountain pass together. You are allowed to do whatever you want when arranging the formation. No matter what happens, the team must move forward. Ouyang Zhou——"
He pointed at Ouyang Zhou, who was also solemn and obedient: "You come and hold the back of the line, no one is allowed to fall behind."
Ouyang Zhou and Huo Chaoqun shouted together: "Follow the order!"
Tang Zhao has arranged the team, but there is still something to do. Although most of the students were already here, there were still two or three living outside. He was asked to look for them one by one on the map. Therefore, he has to leave the team temporarily and needs reliable students to hold the line back. Feng Nanming doesn't have to keep up, he just follows the students back.
As he was about to leave, Ding Xu was waving to him.
Tang Zhao still remembered him and said: "What's the matter? I have something to do now. You should follow the students back for your own safety."
It's not that Tang Zhao looks down on Ding Xu. In Broken Realm, you are not even a swordsman, so you can't really guarantee safety. If this is not an examination room, even if there are so many students, Tang Zhao can't rest assured that no one will follow them.
Ding Xu said: "No, I want to report, this woman is the one..."
As he was speaking, Yun Zhongyu over there had already said loudly: "Swordsman Tang, let me introduce myself. I am Fan Huanyu from Caiyungui."
Ding Xu snorted, and Tang Zhao frowned and said, "Caiyungui...what are you doing here?"
He heard more than one person mention Caiyun Gui. No one had anything good to say, but they were all vague and didn't say how the other party did evil. As a result, Tang Zhao had a very vague impression of Caiyungui. He only knew that they were a group of powerful women who dressed in colorful clothes and acted in secretive ways.
He remembered that this woman was obviously someone who was traveling with Ouyang Zhou. At that time, the two described themselves as being intimate, talking and laughing. They were clearly classmates and colleagues. How could they become Caiyun Gui's people again?
Fortunately, Ouyang Zhou is now leading the horses to form a team. Otherwise, wouldn't he be stimulated by seeing his companions transformed?
Fan Huanyu was quite polite, obviously trying to save face for the swordsman who had just shocked her, and said with a smile: "We have no ill intentions. We just came to see this envoy to support the sun."
She said, pointing at Ding Xu.
Ding Xuru avoided the snake and scorpion and said loudly: "No! I am not a sun-loving messenger. I am from the Xuanming Islands. You can find out if you go and check. Mrs. Ding, the owner of Bishui Island in the Xuanming Islands, is my mother."
Fan Huanyu said with a smile: "We are about to visit your ma'am, what are you in a hurry for? It is a supreme honor to support the sun. Your ma'am knows better than you and will definitely allow it."
She faced Tang Zhao and said sternly: "Tang Swordsman, our master and disciple Xunpeng Rishi arrived here, but we encountered that your city was organizing an exam. Of course we knew the importance and didn't bother you. Especially since my master is a swordsman and passed through you for no reason. The defense zone was for rudeness, so she just sent me into the exam room to look for it.”
She looked into the distance, saw Ouyang Zhou's figure in the distance, and said: "We Caiyungui are by no means unreasonable people. If Ding hadn't treated us like tigers and wolves, we could have had a good discussion. After I entered the examination room, for It was easy to walk, so I had no choice but to use the name of a student, but I didn't do anything to disrupt the order. Later I met Ouyang. He was a humble and courteous gentleman, far better than the son of the island owner. I had no ill intentions towards him, either. Not to Tang Swordsman, and even less to Qiancheng. As long as the swordsman allows me to take him out, we, Caiyun, will give us gifts to express our gratitude when we return."
When Tang Zhao heard this, he wanted to ask whether this sun-holding envoy was noble or not? If it's not noble, why do you go through so much trouble searching for it? If you are noble, why do you call the candidates "Ding"?
But then he thought about it, he had nothing to do with Caiyungui, so why did he need to know the meaning of "supporting the sun"? If you know too much, you will be troubled when the time comes.
However, this woman spoke logically and politely. She was not a "crazy woman" as others said. At least communication was not hindered.
It turns out that her master is the swordsman, and she is not, but a young disciple who works under his master's orders. No wonder Tang Zhao felt that the cultivation level of Caiyungui's people was low.
Tang Zhao is now pressed for time and has no time to adjudicate the public case under his nose. He does not know the merits of it. Moreover, the matter involves two of the six major forces, which is not something he, a new human swordsman, can handle.
He said solemnly: "The Broken Tide is coming soon. You are all from the Broken Realm, so you should know how powerful it is. Under such a big event, there is no time to talk about your affairs. For the sake of Xuanming Islands and Caiyungui, you can Transfer with us and handle this matter yourself when you get outside."
Fan Huanyu said: "Of course, thank you Tang Jianke."
Ding Xu hesitated, and Tang Zhao said: "I have to go out to do some work now. But you can't stay together, lest you cause trouble for the team."
He thought for a moment and said, "Miss Fan, come with me."
Originally he should have taken Ding Xu away, but then he felt that Fan Huanyu was not suitable to stay with Ouyang Zhou to avoid causing too much impact, so he chose to take Fan Huanyu away.
As for Ding Xu, if he wants to run away directly while he is away, he can run away, but he is afraid that he, a mortal body who is not even a swordsman, will not be able to outrun the Broken Tide if he does not follow the team.
Fan Huanyu knew what he meant and didn't say anything. He seemed to sigh silently.
Tang Zhao waved his hand, and the metallic six-dragon chariot suddenly appeared and roared.
