Just like Kong Xiaolian said, young warriors really need to keep some trump cards.
Pan Yanjin finally came out and concluded:
“The three guard commanders under me were all experienced generals on the battlefield and were very powerful.
The three of you are already able to compete with them at a young age.
This Zhengyang martial arts competition is probably safe! "
After the banquet, the three young people left Kong Xiaolian's mansion, while several other elders entered Kong Xiaolian's study together.
"Master Kong, we are betting big on this Zhengyang martial arts competition!
I really want to put all my treasure on those three young people! "
Someone said in Kong Xiaolian's study.
Kong Xiaolian smiled and took out a painting, which showed Tian Ji's horse racing.
All the adults looked thoughtful.
Kong Xiaolian smiled and said nothing. Everyone knew Tian Ji's horse racing principles.
“The three young people we selected are only mid-level horses, and mid-level horses have to challenge other people’s lower-level horses.
And our inferior horses can consume their medium and superior horses.
And our top-quality horses are the key to our real victory in the gambling game! "
Several other adults smiled. Originally, they thought these three young people were their only support.
Of course, there are still some concerns.
But when I heard what Kong Xiaolian said at this time, I knew that Kong Xiaolian must have his own plan and back-up plan.
Civil servants rely on brains rather than force.
If they rely solely on force, they have no confidence at all, and if they use their brains, those generals are all idiots.
Another place in the inner city.
Zheng Xiao, Shan Si and others were all in a martial arts arena, listening to a veteran above talk about his experience on the battlefield.
They have been here for the past few days, listening to the veteran generals telling them what happened on the battlefield.
They are the future of the military. And these military bosses, all the generals at hand have brought back the most experienced soldiers around them.
These veterans may not be the most powerful, but they are the most experienced.
There is only one thing these veteran generals under Tuoba Yunhan have to teach this group of young warriors, and that is to treat this Zhengyang martial arts competition as a battlefield.
This group of people must cooperate with each other and let everyone know that the military is the most powerful force in the world.
When they gather together to fight in a military formation, the power they exert will be the most powerful fighting force.
Tuoba Yunhan has extremely high expectations for this group of young people!
This time he will occupy half of the top ten positions in Zhengyang Wubi!
At least one of the top three positions is required. Tuoba Yunhan placed this treasure on the two of them.
One of them is Liu Xin.
And the other person is the one in the middle of this group of young generals sitting on the ground.
Even Dan Si could only sit next to him.
When the veteran finished speaking, all the young people stood up to bid farewell to the veteran, except for the man in the middle who closed his eyes as if thinking about something.
Shan Si looked at this man and asked:
"Brother Shui, what are you thinking about?"
The man called Brother Shui said:
“This Zhengyang martial arts competition, there are many Jianghu people participating.
Personal force is also a very critical point.
I'm thinking you won't hold me back, right? "
"of course not!"
Everyone said in unison, but no one showed anger in their eyes, even though what this person said was very rude.
Because they are all convinced by this person's strength, he has already reached the middle-level Dacheng realm under the age of twenty-five.
And he was born into a military family.
In the eyes of everyone, such talents are truly suitable military heirs to inherit the rule of Tuoba Yunhan and Zhu Guangxiao in the future.
However, there are rumors that Duke Qin is planning to hand over his position to a royal guard.
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Except for Shan Si, everyone else had already developed a hint of hostility toward Liu Xin at this moment.
Of course, the young man who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed did not have such thoughts in his heart.
He has always believed in letting strength speak for itself. No matter how true your rumors are, in the end you still need to rely on your own strength to compete for the final throne.
In his heart, he has always regarded Qin Guogong as his master, and every word and deed is implemented according to the template of Qin Guogong.
Of course, among his many behaviors, there was only one thing that he was born to be extremely compatible with Qin Guogong.
That's his pride.
Brother Shui actually had only two words in his mind at the moment.
Liu Xin!
He slowly opened his eyes and stood up slowly, looking around at the people behind him.
"The veteran's lecture is over. Why don't we come and compete again in our spare time!"
Everyone's hearts froze when they saw the battle on his face. They didn't want to be tortured, but there was nothing they could do.
Seeing the decadence on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but roar in his heart.
I will defeat you, crush you, crush you, and let the Duke of Qin know. He thinks too highly of you!
Brother Shui clenched his hands tightly, and then his momentum burst out uncontrollably.
A wave of air swept around him with him as the center. Except for a few people such as Shan Si, everyone else couldn't help but take a step back.
But everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
Brother Shui is stronger!
Although Shan Si was also very proud, he felt deeply powerless when facing the person in front of him.
Of course, this feeling of powerlessness is only temporary. At most, he admits that he is not the opponent's opponent for the time being.
In time, thirty years will pass by Hedong, and thirty years will pass by Hexi.
Don’t bully young people into poverty!
the other side
Luo Bei was recalled to the Yongzhou County Prince's Mansion by the Yongzhou County Prince.
It turned out that the Yongzhou County King had obtained some information about other contestants from somewhere.
Especially some extremely powerful characters inside.
The Prince of Yongzhou naturally also participated in the gambling fight between the princes.
Luo Bei was his only support. He admitted that he had drunk too much at the time and was a little drunk, but since he had said it out loud, he, the majestic Prince of Yongzhou, could not take it back, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"You have a good relationship with Liu Xin, the newly appointed Jin Yiwei Qianshi. I heard that his strength is also extraordinary. If you can take advantage of his trend, maybe I won't lose so miserably in my bet."
Luo Bei thought for a while. He and Liu Xin had been constantly competing with each other during this period, and his own strength had also improved a little.
If we talk about the relationship between the two people, judging from this period of time, it is indeed not bad, but if he wants Liu Xin to help him get a better ranking in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, he cannot guarantee it.
It's not that he is not confident in the relationship between them, but looking at the list and some instructions given to him by the Yongzhou County King, an aloof person like Luo Bei also feels that the gold content of this Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition is a bit too high.
He himself was not sure that he could get a good ranking. Although Liu Xin was a little better than him, the possibility of him getting a good ranking was not high.
Even if two weak people support each other, they are still weak.
I told the King of Yongzhou directly what I thought. After hearing this, the King of Yongzhou couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"In that case, forget it. Even if I lose... then let's lose. It's not like I can't afford to lose.
By the way, no matter what, take this thing back and let Liu Qianshi take a look at it too. "
"Yes, I obey."
When Luo Bei returned to Qianhu Office, he learned from Guo Yong that Liu Xin had left Qianhu Office to perform official duties.
I heard that Master Dai De Andai came here once before.
Luo Bei frowned and thought, it's almost Zhengyang's martial arts competition, why would he be allowed to go on a mission?
But it’s probably not a big deal, Meteor should be able to handle it soon, and he will never leave the imperial capital anyway.
Unless Dean targets Liu Xin
But this is impossible. He had already learned some inside information from the Yongzhou County King.
Maybe Liu Xin didn't know it yet, but he already knew Liu Xin's details.
Hum hum, after this Zhengyang martial arts competition, he must catch Liu Xin off guard.
But since Liu Xin is not here, Luo Bei will study this list by himself.
He returned to his own public house in Qianhusuo. He did not have a room of his own. This public house was left idle after several civil servants were killed. There are still vacancies for civil servants. No one can guess. Liu Qianshi is going to make arrangements.
After closing the door, Luo Bei took out the stack of papers in his arms. The top one was about Liu Xin.
"Liu Xin, nameless, was born in Zhengyang 456, with an unknown (secret) background. He is currently a member of the Imperial Guard. He is good at swordsmanship, has top-level martial arts, top-level body skills, rich combat experience, and changeable combat styles. He has a pre-cultivation level. It is estimated to be a low-grade Dacheng realm.
Evaluation grade: A-medium. "
"Let me go... Liu Qianshi was born in the year 456 of Zhengyang. He is only twenty-one years old now. At such a young age, his talent is really abnormal!
No wonder Duke Qin wanted to accept him as a disciple! "
Luo Bei looked shocked. Although he had been in contact with Liu Xin for some time, he had never understood Liu Xin's age. Now it seems that he is really too young.
"Shan Si, wordless, born in Zhengyang 454, the seventh son of Shan Heng, the chief escort of Yuanwei Escort Bureau. He is currently the official of Qianhu, the avant-garde of Jinwu. He is good at swordsmanship, has top-level kung fu, can practice boxing, and has great kick skills. Fight. Emphasis on bravery. The cultivation level is estimated to be low-grade Dacheng realm.
Evaluation grade: A-medium. "
Luo Bei: "Well... this is average, I should be able to handle it."
"Huangfu Rongjiang, named Hengshui, was born in 451 Zhengyang. He is the only son of Duke Xin. He is currently the commander of the Yulin Guard. He is good at marksmanship. He has top-level skills, top-level body skills, and is a master of horizontal training. His fighting style is fierce and precise. The cultivation base has broken through the middle-grade Dacheng realm!
Evaluation grade: Top! "
Luo Bei: "...from the Huangfu family, I really don't want to meet this guy."
"Lei Chuanchang, courtesy name Shiyan, was born in 451 Zhengyang. He is the son of the Marquis of Yan'an. He is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Thousand Battalions of the Forbidden Army and a disciple of Emperor Wu City. He is good at swordsmanship. He possesses top-level skills. He has a fierce fighting style and his cultivation is estimated to be low-grade Dacheng. territory!
Evaluation grade: A hit! "
Luo Bei: "The Marquis of Yan'an...is nothing to be afraid of!"
Luo Bei kept reading and found that instead of making him more confident, this information almost made him depressed.
Especially the bottom one:
"Huang Linxian, named Wu, was born in the year 452 of Zhengyang. He is a disciple of the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army and currently serves as the left guard of Huben Baihu. He is good at unknown things. He possesses top-level martial arts and top-level body skills. His fighting style is unknown, and his cultivation level is estimated to be at the low-level Dacheng realm!
Evaluation grade: Top! "
A disciple who has become the head coach, he is the absolute favorite to win this Zhengyang Wushu Competition.
At this moment, the Forbidden Army is in the martial arts training ground.
In the huge martial arts arena, there were only two people, Huang Linxian and Fang Xiaoming, the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army.
Fang Xiaoming is the second grandmaster in the current imperial court.
Of course, his master level cultivation is just everyone's guess.
As early as ten years ago, he was already a master in the high-level Dacheng realm, and his talent was personally recognized by Qin Guogong Tuoba Yunhan.
It is said that he is a peerless genius who is not weaker than Mi Yusong.
Fang Xiaoming didn't look like a master of otherworldly things. Instead, he was wearing ordinary civilian clothes. There is a light beard on his face. With a square face, he looked more like an ordinary passerby.
When he stood there, there was no aura in his body.
But as a disciple, Huang Linxian knew that his master had returned to his original nature.
He didn't want to guess at this state, and he couldn't imagine whether it was the true master state.
But one thing he was quite sure of was that under the guidance of his master, his cultivation had already surpassed that of his peers.
Although he has not really fought against anyone of the same level at full strength.
But he has this confidence.
However, there has always been a question in his mind. Originally he was just an ordinary Tiger Guard Baihu, why did he suddenly gain the favor of Tangtang Jinjun, the head coach, and accept him as the only entry-level disciple.
When the head coach of the March Army made this request, the entire Imperial City was boiling, and everyone knew about it.
Some people even asked the head coach Fang Xiaoming to withdraw the idea.
However, due to the strength of the master, no one dared to oppose the decision he made with real swords and guns.
However, for a long time, his client was controversial.
Many people gave him a blank look, many people investigated his background, and he was so scared that he almost asked Fang Xiaoming not to accept him as his disciple.
Huang Linxian's own identity was not simple, but he did not want this identity, so he traveled across mountains and rivers from the south to the north, just to avoid the trouble caused by that identity.
He had good talent, so he joined the pro-army and was successfully selected into the Tiger Guard.
He even became a hundred households by virtue of his own ability.
This also gave him the capital to support his family in the outer city.
The turmoil caused by Fang Xiaoming almost caused his background to be revealed again.
Fortunately, Fang Xiaoming took action to settle the matter in the end.
He said forcefully that he accepted his disciples entirely based on his own mind, and no one in the world could change his mind. If someone interfered in his affairs, he would fight back without hesitation.
No one dared to face the threat of this suspected top master of Grandmaster Mirror.
So everyone no longer dwells on this matter. But how could those big guys let Fang Xiaoming threaten them.
It's just that the incident has shifted from overt to covert.
Many younger generations came up to challenge Huang Linxian. At first, Huang Linxian suffered defeats one after another.
At first, Huang Linxian wanted to avoid the fight, but at Fang Xiaoming's request, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, and ended up being defeated repeatedly.
Among those who challenged him at that time was Huangpu Rongjiang.
The latter also wanted to become Fang Xiaoming's teacher, but was rejected.
So under the instruction of his elders, he came to challenge Huang Linxian, but was defeated in less than five moves.
Huang Furongjiang made harsh words at that time:
"So what if they are disciples taught by a master?
I, Huangpu Rongjiang, can also defeat him with a gun! "
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Longjiang's name resounded throughout the entire imperial capital.
And Huang Linxian is too weak because of his strength. So at that time, there were countless rumors in the entire capital city, but Fang Xiaoming asked Huang Linxian to start practicing secretly at this time.
The training venue did not go into some inaccessible deep mountains and old forests as Huang Linxian hoped, but was instead located in the Imperial Forbidden Army barracks.
In the process, Fang Xiaoming kept letting Huang Linxian appear in the public eye, making Huang Linxian feel humiliated.
It wasn't until the bullying reached a certain peak that Fang Xiaoming told Huang Linxian.
“If you want to protect your family from, if you want to stop being looked down upon.
Then in the second year of Zhengyang Incomparable, prove everything about you in front of the world.
Only when you are stepped into the soil, and when you rise into the sky, will you be more shocked, and will you be a slap in the face to those who have looked down on you, rolled their eyes at you, and humiliated you.
You have to know that the most enjoyable thing in the world is not a slap in the face.
Instead, wait for others to show off and then go up and slap them in the face! "
This was the first time that Fang Xiaoming showed such a vulgar look in front of Huang Linxian.
It's completely different from Fang Xiaoming's always enigmatic image.
Later, Huang Linxian realized that this was actually Fang Xiaoming's true face.
"There are still two days until the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition begins. Do you have confidence?"
Fang Xiaoming asked calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Master, of course I have confidence, but..."
"No buts!"
Fang Xiaoming interrupted:
"When you say the word but, I know you don't have confidence."
"I'm not master, I just think..."
"I don't want you to think that!"
Fang Xiaoming interrupted again, and then said:
"I just want what I feel!
I think you are not confident, you are just not confident! "
Huang Linxian immediately drooped his head. He did not dare to refute and was unable to refute.
My master is good at everything, but he is a little too strong.
In the process of cultivation, you cannot decide everything on your own.
If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was really strong and he couldn't escape from his shadow, otherwise, he would...
Well, he couldn't do anything anyway. He originally wanted to change his life and live again as an ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, fate still pushed him forward.
Pushing him to where he is now.
But no matter what, now he has capital that he didn't have before, and there are many things he can try to do.
He could also try to kill some of his former enemies.
Of course, he didn't hide these words, but told his master honestly.
Of course, when he said this, he originally wanted to make his master retreat.
But who would have thought that his master would reveal his domineering character for the first time in front of him at that moment.
"The Xu family? What kind of dog is that, worthy of fitting into my ears?"
