Bright moon out of Tianshan

The large campus in the south of the city covers an area of ​​[-] mu. The northernmost side sits on a five-foot-high platform facing south and builds a main hall. Emperor Xuwen personally wrote the word "Shangwu Hall", and on both sides are side halls lined up. All kinds of weapons and so on.

A high platform was built in front of the hall, and a long pergola was set up on the platform, with seats for the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner.Prime Minister Yun and General Liang Fei were sitting in the middle, with the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince on both sides, but Gao Hong wanted to squeeze in with Gao Huai, so he squeezed Yang Baozhen's seat to that side.Ding Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the two ministers of the Ministry of War sat on the other side of Gaohuai.

The main test rider was Yang Baozhen. He went out of the shed to watch the competition, and the rest of the people watched from the shed.The surroundings of the school grounds are heavily guarded, but there are also huge crowds of people. They are all dignitaries and family members of the selected sons, etc., who came in with special permission.

The competition of riding and archery is very simple, shoot arrows on horseback with continuous fire, and select the best ones.Everyone came one by one in order, and when there were those with superb skills, they attracted bursts of applause from the surroundings.

Gao Hong was dressed in purple brocade clothes, beaded crown and jade belt, elegant and luxurious. He squinted at Gao Huai with a smile and said in a low voice: "Third brother, as far as the emperor knows, your little lover is very good at swordsmanship, but I don't know that this bow horse Are you proficient? Do you need to say hello to General Yang and take care of him?"

Gao Huai's expression froze, and he didn't realize who he was talking about for a moment. Gao Hong continued: "The elder brother is also a person who has experienced this affair. So you ran to the elder brother's palace the day before yesterday to show off your power. Thinking about you makes you dizzy, but caring makes you lose your mind." Chaos, big brother won't bother with you. Big brother decided to let you go and let him go. How is it? Our Dongqi royal family has a good atmosphere of respecting brothers and relatives, right?"

Gao Huai didn't say a word, stepped aside without a trace, Gao Hong continued to move forward, and suddenly said: "Nononuo, look, it's his turn! Don't say it, I haven't seen you in three years. Xiaojian looks better the longer he grows, this waistline, tsk tsk tsk, is so beautiful! It also feels very good to the touch that day." Gao Huai almost jumped up when he heard it, but suppressed his voice and said: "The emperor Brother, are you here to see the martial arts competition or someone else's waistline?"

Gao Hong tilted his lips, and said with a smile: "What? Can't you just take a look? In that case, Brother Huang is gone, and Brother Huang won't look at it! It won't save my youngest son from getting angry. I'll leave now." Behind the pergola, we walked away.

Gao Huai ignored him, thinking that he had coveted the position of prince for a long time, and he must be busy with the expedition these days, so he came to this school ground just to make a fuss, and he just left with a sloppy eye. Before leaving, he still has to ridicule people, which is really hateful.

Next, it was Xiao Jian's turn to ride and shoot. He rode a tall green horse, and the horse flew lightly. His arrow flew like a shooting star, but the arrow hit the bull's-eye. His skillful riding and shooting drew rounds of applause. Voices.It seems that Xiao Run's family education is very good, and the grandson he taught can be said to be both civil and military.

Gao Honglin walked and talked nonsense in Gao Huai's ear, although Gao Huai didn't take it to heart, his eyes involuntarily swept Xiao Jian's waist, the waistline looked flexible and smooth, it was exquisite and delicate, very seductive.

The Yuma Jintang Xiao family is one of the top ten martial arts families in Jianghu. The main branch has lived in Lingnan for generations.Xiao Jiaerlang's characteristics are obvious, all of them are slender and outstanding in appearance, the boys are bold and intelligent, and the girls are generous, and they have long been famous all over the world.However, Xiao Jian grew up in Jinling. When Grand Master Xiao was alive, he was a noble and precious man, so compared to his peers from the same family, he was a bit more elegant and wealthy.

He completed the three laps as required, exhausted the three boxes of feather arrows, and retreated.Wei Young didn't know who got through the joints, and brought a group of maids disguised as men to sneak in. The ministers of the court and the central government have been to Cuixiu Academy, so they passed by with their eyes closed.

Xiao Jian leaned in front of Wei Young, and immediately the girls handed handkerchiefs to wipe sweat, brought tea directly to their lips, and waited on them meticulously, Xiao Jian smiled and said, "Sister, how am I?"

Wei Yang said: "Very good! You are embarrassing for our academy, no girl is as uplifting as you are!" When she was excited, she would speak nonsense, comparing Xiao Jian with the girls under her hands.

Xiao Jian heard it in his ears, but he smiled and said nothing, he was full of pride, but unfortunately the palm prints on his face spoiled the scenery a little, Tang Ruo squeezed to his side, reached out to touch his face, and said : "Is this face still not healed? Young Master, I feel so sorry for my family!"

A group of people were chirping, which attracted the attention of everyone around. Ding Wuxia quietly walked around and said in a low voice, "Stop arguing, my father was frowning over there just now." Seeing that Ding Shangshu was staring at him as expected, even General Liang Fei, who had always been expressionless, glanced at him. Gao Huai even frowned at him, and quickly silenced everyone.

After two days of riding and archery competition, Xiao Jian was selected as expected. This time Ding Wuxia waited in the Ministry of War early and took out Xiao Jian's selection post first.He himself likes literature and hates martial arts, and he is not good at riding and shooting, but he failed the election.

The contest in the next three days is the most interesting one.On this day, the open space around the school grounds had been filled up by people who were waiting to watch, and a high platform was set up in the field, which was slightly lower than the ones of the examiners.On the stage, the flags are fluttering, and the four corners are guarded by soldiers, dignified and orderly.

Xiao Jian and others came to the venue, and saw that the chief examiners and deputy chief examiners had all taken their positions, and the eldest prince who had seen his head and tail appeared again, dressed in luxurious and elegant clothes, still sitting with Gao Huai, tied up The posture intends to point and comment.Gao Huai turned sideways, still indifferently ignoring him.

Yang Baozhen is in charge of specific martial arts titles. He is good at fighting, has a bold personality, and hates evil like a vengeful.Thinking that sitting in the shed was not enough to watch, he told everyone that he was rude, and went to stand by the stage to see more clearly.

This time, a new rule has been set for this competition, only long swords, spears and other long weapons can be used, so that they will not lose the wind when fighting against people on the battlefield in the future.Hearing this news, Xiao Jian could only lament that he was very lucky. A while ago, Xiao Xiong forced himself to use a long weapon to fight against others in Li Ting, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy immediately.

During the contest, Xiao Jian held a long sword in his hand, and when he used it, the more he fought, the more majestic he became, and he was almost invincible.After several victories in a row, the girls in Cuixiu Academy cheered louder and louder, and Ding Shangshu couldn't help but roll his eyes here.When he easily defeated a stronger opponent, Yang Baozhen raised his hand and called for a stop, ordering everyone to pause and rest for a while.

Wei Young dodged the guarding soldiers and ran to the front of the stage, beckoning to Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian ran over in a hurry, leaned over and said, "What's wrong, sister?"

Wei Young's face was full of admiring smiles, and she was inexplicably excited: "Tiantian, you are awesome! Come on, my sister will reward you!" She stretched out her hand to wrap his arms around his neck, and in broad daylight, "slapped" his face The kiss was extremely crisp and loud, leaving an orange-red lip print.Everyone was stunned, Xiao Jian was very embarrassed, but the girls in the academy booed and cheered, he had no choice but to follow suit with a smile, but it was bright and elegant, touching people's hearts.

The eldest prince in the arbor had a great time watching today, and he did not leave the stage, and kept watching intently with his chin resting on his hands.Seeing this situation, he cast a sideways glance at Gao Huai, and said, "Xiaojian's face has never been clean. It was a palm print that day, and a lip print today. It's full of tricks! Third brother, you can't let it go." He must be disciplined and disciplined!"

Gao Huai didn't seem to hear anything, Gao Hong suddenly felt bored, and said with a sneer: "The rest are all masters, let's see how he gets down."

Xiao Jian then went on stage with that lip print, everyone laughed, but he didn't know what to do, he did what he wanted, calm and composed.

After a day of competition like this, only about 100 people remained.Wait until the next day to continue the competition, choose the best and record it.Those who lose the election will be given silver and sent home.

Xiao Jian followed Wei Young and others back to the academy, and Ding Wuxia stayed with him all the time, saying: "Tomorrow is the critical moment, and the official position will be canonized according to the ranking. You can't be discouraged, Tian Tian, ​​​​you have to go all out to win it. If my brother-in-law can get it A martial arts champion, I also have a bright face."

Wei Yang said: "That's right, my sister also hopes that you will become famous and become famous!"

Xiao Jian looked at her sideways, humming and coquettishly said: "Sister, your brother fought with someone all day today, he is very tired, and his whole body hurts. I want to take a good bath with hot water when I go back."

Wei Young said: "I'll ask someone to prepare it for you. I'll put some roses for the girls into it for you, it's the best to relieve fatigue. After you're done washing, I'll ask Tang Ruo to pinch your bones for you to relax. , that girl has strength in her hands, and the guests all praised her. Then I will make you eat your fill of crab roe and lotus seed paste, how about it?"

Xiao Jian hurriedly said: "There is also candied lotus root porridge."

Ding Wuxia looked at him up and down, and said, "It hurts, where does it hurt? Do you want to delay tomorrow's competition?"

Xiao Jian said: "The delay is over, the delay is over. It would be great if you can be selected together, Lao Ding. When we meet, you can let me and save me some effort!" He joked casually, and Ding Wuxia was silent. He listened intently, but thoughtfully, after a while he said: "I'll go back first, I'll call you early tomorrow. You should have a good rest." Then he left.

The competition continued on the second day. Xiao Jian came to the stage with a horizontal sword, full of vigor, and defeated two opponents in a row.After taking a break according to the rules, the third opponent he met was also a son of the Jinling family. His playmate since childhood, Zhang Jingyan, was a brave and ruthless young man.The spear in Zhang Jingyan's hand was no less majestic than Xiao Jian's.

After the two of them clasped their fists and saluted each other, they began to fight, and the swords and guns were fought lively.These two had also competed before, Zhang Jingyan was slightly inferior, but he was able to pass more than 300 moves.But now that Xiao Jian has undergone careful guidance from Xiao Xiong, his martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is no longer the Wuxia Amon of that day. Road 72 Yuma Jintang Xiao Family Knife is displayed. It opens and closes well, freely vertically and horizontally, and is also fast and graceful. Its movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, which attracts bursts of applause from around. The loudest one is the Cuixiu Academy. The soft language coquettishly.

During the fight, Zhang Jingyan was forced to retreat step by step by Xiao Jian's knife, and finally retreated to the edge of the high platform, almost crumbling.Gao Huai saw it in his eyes, but he was full of doubts in his heart. He suddenly heard General Yang Baozhen standing by the stage snorted and said, "Who is Xiao Jian's recommender?"
