Just after the gongs and drums sounded, two men and one woman hurriedly walked into the martial arts arena from behind. They must have stepped in.
Liu Xin stood in the crowd and glanced at them.
They finally caught up, and the woman also came in, which meant that they still grabbed a token at the last moment.
To be honest, their cultivation is pretty good.
After all, the people who can stand here are basically low-grade Dacheng realm warriors, and everyone has similar cultivation levels.
But there is a huge difference in combat power, but no one knows how strong the other person's combat power is.
And those who can grab a token at the last moment are absolutely powerful.
What Liu Xin didn't know was that when the last cup of tea was burned out by the incense stick, nearly a hundred people came out of nowhere outside the military camp. They all started fighting in front of the soldiers guarding the entrance of the military camp. Many of them started fighting. Staring at the last moment, he wanted to fish in troubled waters and see if he could put together a token to enter the military camp.
As a result, under the powerful force of Wu Chu'an and Mei Kaixu, half of the nearly 100 people were seriously injured and fell to the ground. The remaining people did not dare to provoke these two murderous young men.
Everyone was just trying to argue with each other, not like these two who were just trying their best, and they didn't know who had offended them.
Finally, the three of them entered the military camp, and the others did not dare to take a step forward until the incense burnt out and the gongs and drums indicating the end of the first round sounded, and these people outside the military camp lost the qualification to participate.
As another drum beat sounded, soldiers began to enter in an orderly manner around the martial arts arena.
Soon some soldiers went up to a high platform and began to call names.
After the roll call, Liu Xin saw a dozen people falling down unable to hold on, and doctors immediately took them away.
The host of the next martial arts competition here was still Weng Pingliang. He grinned and said in a loud voice as always:
"You have done a good job, 80% of the people arrived, and 10% of them are martial artists.
Your qualifications need to be further verified, so you can rest here for the next two hours.
There are 500 tents in the military camp, you can choose freely! "
After that, Weng Pingliang left with a group of soldiers.
Only now did Liu Xin begin to look at the military camp in front of him.
He had never seen a formal military camp in his life.
When they were at the Hanzhong Horse Farm, they lived in tents, which were for non-combatants and were different from those where real soldiers lived.
After Wen Bingliang left, the crowd dispersed naturally.
Those with wider connections will gather with friends.
There were quite a few people gathered together in groups of twos and threes to discuss.
Of course, there were also some lonely ones who walked away from the crowd and entered a certain tent to rest directly.
Liu Xin saw Shan Si and others gathered together, but their expressions were relatively indifferent.
On the contrary, Dan Si greeted Liu Xin after seeing him.
Then Liu Xin saw that he seemed to be walking towards here alone after saying something to others.
Maybe he knew that Liu Xin was not familiar with the others, so he didn't take the initiative to call him over.
"Brother Liu, did you encounter any trouble along the way? It seems to me that you arrived at the last moment.
To be honest, I was really worried about you when I didn't see you. "
Liu Xin smiled and said:
"It's okay, I encountered some minor troubles on the way, but fortunately they were resolved smoothly.
What happened to you on the way here? "
Shan Si shook his head and said:
"This Zhengyang martial arts competition was really boring. Those people didn't dare to come forward when they saw us. We encountered several active interceptions on the way here, but they left on their own after seeing us.
Moreover, it seems that our portraits have been leaked!
We arrested two martial artists for questioning, only to find out that the underworld had made a bet on us.
The bet is that we will be unscathed in the first round!
I heard that many people have placed bets and can get two cents profit for nothing.
Because many people are betting on this, those in the martial arts world don’t dare to target us!
We even tried staying put or spreading out in the hope they would come and trouble us, but none came! "
Liu Xin smiled and said:
"Isn't this a good thing?
After all, this Zhengyang martial arts competition is quite special.
It's better to do this now, to save energy. "
Shan Si nodded helplessly and said:
"It is indeed special, but there is no need to be so anxious to put us under the command of Duke Qin."
Liu Xin asked curiously:
"Then if you don't want to belong to the lineage of Duke Qin, then who else do you want to belong to?"
Shansi said:
"I did not mean that.
Our fathers were of course loyal to Duke Qin.
But in our generation, when we really rise, Qin Guogong has already retired, so who will we follow then?
Do we have to follow others?
Can’t we just be that flag ourselves and let everyone else follow us? "
"Brother Shan is so ambitious!"
Liu Xin joked with a smile.
Dan Si glanced at Liu Xin curiously and asked:
"Don't Brother Liu have such ambition?
We all know that Duke Qin is very interested in making you his successor.
Although none of us understand why this is, but in terms of personal cultivation, at least I am convinced.
Moreover, I thought that Brother Liu, you were about the same age as me.
But this time, Brother Shui and his parents investigated the personal circumstances of the seeded contestants in this martial arts competition and showed them to us.
Only now did we know that Brother Liu, you are only twenty-one years old this year.
He is much younger than me, but his cultivation and combat power are already above mine.
Moreover, your experience and life experience seem to be above mine. I really can’t understand how you did it? "
At the end of the sentence, Dan Si couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Xin smiled and said nothing. In fact, he didn't know why he was so mature.
It seemed as if he had suddenly grown up since he was accepted into the Holy Sect by his master that year.
Although sometimes he is still unreliable and a little jumpy, but overall, he is much more mature than his peers.
It is also for this reason that he can manage other disciples as the senior brother of the Holy Sect.
Only then can other disciples be convinced of him.
Because everyone really felt that Liu Xin was a senior brother, a generation higher than them.
Suddenly Shan Si seemed to feel something, and he turned back to look at Zheng Xiao and the others.
Zheng Xiao said hello to this place, and then the others dispersed.
“How about the two of us find a tent to take a rest.
I don’t know what the rules are for the subsequent competition.
This time even our fathers did not reveal anything to us.
It is said that even His Majesty the Emperor and Admiral Mi participated in formulating the rules for this Zhengyang Martial Competition.
This time the martial arts competition is indeed planning to select some young seeds from among the many contestants as reserves for the army.
Therefore, the difficulty of this Zhengyang martial arts competition is much higher than in previous years.
Those who are opportunistic are destined to fail, and this time they mainly select military reserves, seeming to be preparing for the upcoming war in the future.
Therefore, the selection subjects will definitely be more military-oriented.
Liu Xin smiled and said:
"You told me so much, aren't you afraid?"
Shan Si scratched his head in confusion:
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Xindao:
"In the final analysis, the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition is still an individual competition. Now that you are telling me so much information for free, doesn't it mean that you have gained a powerful enemy for nothing?"
Shan Si smiled and said:
“If that’s really the case, then I really want it.
My fifth brother said it. If I keep going smoothly, my final achievement will be similar to that of my fifth brother.
If you want to be comparable to my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother.
That still requires a lot of training. The best thing is to learn from young heroes like Brother Liu and see if there is anything we can learn from.
There are so many things worth learning from you.
This is what my fifth brother said!
He is also transforming in the direction of my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother.
His word is infallible. "
"To be honest, sometimes I really envy you eight brothers in the Shan family.
Unlike me, I have no father or mother since I was a child, only one sister. "
Speaking of this, Liu Xin's expression suddenly dimmed.
"Brother Liu, you actually have a sister!
There are eight of us brothers. Although there are many people, there is still a gap of many years between the eldest brother and the four brothers behind us, so there is inevitably a gap between us.
Therefore, they are more like two generations of each other.
It is undeniable that there are many benefits to having many brothers, and there will be many conveniences in life in the past.
But there are also many worries! "
"But you are not the royal family." Liu Xin said:
“The Tian family is ruthless, but you can share joys and sorrows, live and die together as a family.
After all, no matter what you do, you have someone to rely on and a destination.
And I am just a rootless person. "
Dan Si thought of the description of Liu Xin's family in the intelligence he had seen.
He lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his grandmother in the countryside when he was young. Later, he met an old monk who taught him skills.
Later, his uncle, Liu Baihu, the elder of Jinyiwei, became seriously ill, so Liu Xin was summoned from his hometown and became Jinyiwei.
Soon after becoming a Jin Yiwei, he helped solve the Royal Horse Supervisor case.
It became a blockbuster from then on.
But no matter how high his achievements are, he still has no family.
There is a lack of spiritual sustenance, but fortunately Liu Xin said that he still has a sister. As long as there are still relatives alive, there is still hope in life.
"Okay, anyway, would you like to team up with me?
Maybe the current grouping will be the key to the subsequent games. "Shan Si asked again.
Liu Xin nodded almost without thinking.
But he had a question: "Why don't you team up with them?"
Shan Si looked back and said, "I think my fifth brother is right. If you want to grow, another way is to hang out with a strong person. Except for Brother Shui, no one else at my place is very good.
Brother Shui is a loner and no one likes him, hey. "
"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think you're all weaklings over there."
“They are not weak, but they lack training and experience.
To put it simply, they have not experienced anything, just like carefully tended flowers in a garden, they cannot withstand strong winds and waves. "
"What about me?" Liu Xin asked with a smile.
Shan Si said solemnly: "I used an inappropriate metaphor. Brother Liu, you are like a snow lotus on the cold cliff. It cannot be wiped out by the wind or killed by the rain. It still grows towards the sun in the cold winter months."
"I can't afford such a good comment from Brother Shan!"
"I only have comments in my heart!" Shan Si was still extremely serious. This conclusion was actually drawn by his fifth brother, but he felt that his fifth brother was right.
We randomly chose a tent with Shansi.
After Liu Xin entered, the two began to casually exchange some interesting stories about each other.
Of course, this process did not last long, and Liu Xin began to meditate and practice.
He circulates the internal energy in his body to quickly restore his physical strength and replenish his internal energy, so that he can reach the most perfect level.
Last time, I was exercising in a strange way.
After finishing the practice, Liu Xin opened his eyes and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shan, what kind of practice are you doing?"
"Brother Liu should know the horizontal training technique, right? This method is not as domineering as the horizontal training technique, but it can achieve a certain body-refining effect after years of practice.
The key is that this method is relatively low-impact on the body. "
Liu Xin was surprised. Even with the authentic Kung Fu reserves, there is no such technique. There are countless miraculous things about the meaning of being a great man in the world.
One holy sect cannot summarize the entire martial arts world.
This is the real charm of Jianghu!
"Brother Liu, if you are interested, you might as well let me teach you."
"This is not good."
"It doesn't matter, these are just some tips I have accumulated from the experience of various escorts in Yuanwei Escort Agency for decades.
It's not a profound technique.
At the end of the training, it will be a state of minor physical training, and its more effective effect is to maintain the stability of body functions.
At the same time, it strengthens the body, so many common people practice this. It can greatly enhance their physical fitness. "
Shan Si had already said so, and Liu Xin no longer shied away.
Shan Si was indeed right. The methods he taught were really not complicated, and some of them were even exercises that ordinary people would use to exercise.
For example, training movements evolved from farming, transplanting rice, etc.
However, after being improved by countless escorts from Yuanwei Escort Agency, these movements are extremely streamlined, and at the same time they contain a kind of power. Even with Liu Xin's physique, he felt hot all over after completing one set.
Although the effect of body training is not great, it is an additional improvement.
Liu Xin stood up and thanked Dan Si, who waved his hand to say there was no need to be so polite.
Just when everyone was resting in the tent, on a hillside about five miles outside the military camp, guarded by two hundred cavalry, the eldest prince and Shangguan Ba, the Marquis of Jin, rode their horses to the highest point, where they could see a distance of five miles away. military camp.
"Master, why did you bring me here?" the eldest prince asked.
He has completed the apprenticeship ceremony, and as a return gift, Shangguan Ba directly used all his own internal strength to activate the eldest prince's Rendu lineage. The eldest prince will be able to smoothly enter the Dacheng state in the near future.
The price was that Shangguanba would have no internal strength for three days. This request was specifically requested by Mi Yusong. Although Shangguanba knew that there would be no peace during these three days, he still did it without any scruples.
There are of course several reasons, one of which is that he really has the intention to accept the eldest prince as his disciple. This wish has even been there since the eldest prince was born.
No matter how strong and loyal Shangguan Ba is, there is still a Jianghu sect behind him.
The court could not trust him 100%. Just like this time, facing the coming storm, he, Shangguan Ba, could only sacrifice his own cultivation in order to make others feel at ease, and also to stop them from trying to cause chaos by accepting the eldest prince as their disciple. Squirting mouth.
Of course, this is also the last time. Shangguan Ba has proven his loyalty. If anyone doubts him again in the future, he will not be recognized by others.
The second reason is of course for the inheritance of the Shangguan family. After all, he is also the head of the family. Emperor Wu City is his father's inheritance. Shangguan Ba actually does not value it. What he values is the entire Shangguan family.
Accepting the eldest prince as his disciple actually means that he stands behind the eldest prince and supports him.
In the future, when the eldest prince rises to power, the Shangguan family can truly become a heritage family rather than a martial arts family.
"Look at the second round of competition!"
The eldest prince looked at the military camp in the distance, frowning in confusion.
"Won't the second round start in another hour?"
As a prince, he could receive first-hand news about Zhengyang Wubi along the way.
Weng Bingliang clearly said that he should rest for two hours, and only one hour has passed now.
Shangguan Ba stood with his hands behind his back, his scarlet cloak rustling in the wind behind him. He looked at the dark light gradually rising in the distant sky, and said with a smile:
"How can the Zhengyang martial arts competition be so easy? Could it be that Weng Bingliang said he should rest for two hours when he said he should rest for two hours?
Even if you don’t understand the principle of a soldier never getting tired of deceit, how will you be able to control the army in the future? "
Shangguan Ba has assumed the role of teacher, teaching the eldest prince everything he has.
Even for his own son and several other disciples, he didn't pay that much attention.
As Shangguan Ba explained, the eldest prince gradually understood. At the same time, his eyes also saw the slowly rising smoke and dust at the end of his sight.
"Is that...cavalry?"
The eldest prince quickly figured out what it was.
At the same time, in the military camp where Zhengyang Wubi was located, several warriors who were resting in tents suddenly opened their eyes, including Liu Xin.
He stood up suddenly, lying on the ground, put his ear close to the ground, and listened carefully.
Shan Si, who was awakened by the movement, looked at Liu Xin's movements and wondered why.
At this time, several tents had been opened, and several people quickly rushed out of the military camp. Their goal was very consistent, which was the highest point of the military camp.
Among them, the one with the fastest movement skills is from the Qin Guogong lineage, Huangfu Rongjiang!
Liu Xin had already stood up at this time, and he said to Shan Si with a gloomy face:
"There are cavalry charging into the camp. The distance is less than three miles. We can't run away. Be prepared to accept the impact.
It's best not to take any chances. With such a momentum, the enemy may be even more vulnerable! "
Shan Si's face changed drastically when he heard this. What surprised him was not that there were cavalry charging into the formation, but that he didn't feel anything.
After leaving the tent, Shan Si first saw the figure quickly climbing up to the lookout.
"Brother Shui!"
