Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Lin Gongru glared at Ying Moyan, trying to tell the truth from what he said.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps above the wine cellar, hurried and chaotic, gradually approaching here along the steps.Ying Moyan's eyes swept over the wound on his wrist that had quietly healed due to his secret spellcasting, and his toes gradually lifted off the ground.

Lin Gongru approached him a few steps, Ying Moyan was floating extremely fast, Yan Jun, who was still close at hand, was already in the air in the blink of an eye, and his figure became thin and transparent like smoke.

"Good luck." The cold ending sound dissipated along with the figure.

In the end, Lin Gongru only grabbed the corner of Ying Moyan's lower garment, the soft cloth disappeared in the palm of his hand, and when he spread it out again, his palm was empty.

He froze in the empty wine cellar, his heart filled with countless unresolved mysteries.

He had violent emotional ups and downs just now, and even forgot the most important question, why him?

Since it wasn't him, there would be someone else to complete this shady task for the lord of the underworld, so why was he singled out in the first place?Is it really just because he is stupid that he proposed to make a deal first?

What is the relationship between those seven people and Ying Moyan?No matter how you look at it, neither Xin Wu nor Ye Mingjue are criminals. Both of them are innocent and kind-hearted.

The son of the Seventh Prince, who is used to flowers, is in a mess. He is not good at analyzing problems penetratingly. He can only smell out with his intuition that Ying Moyan's intentions are not pure.He was only concerned with anger and roaring just now, but he failed to calm down and think about the cause and effect of this game——

No wonder Ying Moyan called him an idiot, and said that it was because of his incompetence that Xin Wu and Ye Mingjue would die because of him.

Lin Gongru stood in the wine cellar in a daze, his brain was running fast, trying to clear away the layers of fog, but all he saw was a deeper layer of confusion.

The sound of footsteps outside the wine cellar approached, and a moment later, a hand lifted the ceiling, and a man in armor jumped out of the wine cellar.

The man first smelled the strong smell of wine flowing all over the ground, then saw Lin Gongru standing in the middle of the broken wine jars, and noticed that there was still wet blood on his wrist.

The man yelled: "What the hell are you doing? I told you to take a few jugs of wine, and you held them for so long, and you still kowtowed? I don't know if His Highness and the others are coming soon?"

Lin Gongru turned to look at him in a daze: "...'Your Highness'?"

The person who came was a burly man in his 40s. He was tall, with thick eyebrows and a red face. He seemed to be a quick-tempered man.He bent down and picked up four jars of wine on each side, and impatiently said to Lin Gongru: "The recruits are so messy, forget it, you go up and return to the team, and I will ask others to help get these wines!"

He pushed Lin Gongru and urged him to go up the wine cellar.

Lin Gongru took a few steps involuntarily, and heard the man shouting from behind: "By the way, remember to go to the material officer to get the military uniform first, and tidy it up, don't embarrass our Wuji camp!"

Lin Gongru got out of the wine cellar, and as soon as his feet were on the ground, he was attracted by the spectacular scene in front of him.

A few tens of feet away from the wine cellar is a wide school ground that spans more than ten miles, with high flags flying around the school ground.In the middle of the school grounds stood a dark crowd, about hundreds of soldiers-like people, all dressed in armor, the weapons in their hands gleaming in the sun, and shouting orders resounding through the sky.

This is a barracks...?

He was still watching intently, as several young soldiers of his age hurried past, wearing brand-new armor.One of them didn't seem to be fully dressed, the red tassel on his helmet was tilted to one side, and when he ran past Lin Gongru, he accidentally bumped into him, didn't even have time to say sorry, and hurried into the crowd.

Lin Gongru was in a daze, and at this time the man who was carrying the wine jar also came out from the wine cellar, and saw that the boy was still standing still, so he lifted his foot and kicked: "What are you doing standing there stupidly! Put on your military uniform and go assemble!"

Fortunately, there were people running from farther away one after another at this time, rushing to the center of the school field; Lin Gongru walked against the flow of people, searched for a while, and finally found a military tent.

The quartermaster who was distributing the armor looked impatient, glanced at him and threw over a set of heavy iron armor. Lin Gongru put it on for a try and found it fit, then turned around and walked towards the school grounds.

He had a noble status in his previous life, he liked to roll around in the pile of fat and powder, and he had never set foot in a military camp in his life.

Today, I unexpectedly found myself in it, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity and joy.Without being instructed by others, he squeezed into the crowd and naturally stood in the column closest to Dianjiangtai.

The people standing next to him were all young faces, no more than 24 or [-] at most, all standing straight, without squinting, and all of them showed excited expressions on their faces.A few who were overly nervous secretly raised their hands to wipe the sweat streaming down their foreheads.

Lin Gongru looked at the next few rows of columns, and the soldiers standing in the row a little farther from the Dianjiangtai were a little older, and their armor was not old, and it looked like it had aged.The soldiers had a listless look on their faces, and they couldn't get their energy up. Compared with their lively team, they seemed to be tired of the life of the army armor, and they didn't care about anything that happened.

You can tell the difference between recruits and veterans at a glance, Lin Gongru turned his gaze back, thinking to himself that such a large-scale assembly, could it be that there is going to be a war?

He secretly asked the young soldier standing next to him: "Is this going to march?"

The other party was the daredevil who bumped into him with his red tassels crookedly just now. He lowered his voice and said, "What is the conscript? We have only been conscripted for the third day, and we can't even hold our guns. We won't be sent to fight at all. Didn't you hear that?" When the soldier asked, did someone come from the palace to pick the guards?"

He excitedly added, "As long as you are favored by the dignitaries above, you don't need to suffer in this cold place!"

Lin Gongru looked at the red beard on his helmet that hadn't been straightened yet, and said to himself that the higher-ups are picking people, and it's impossible to pick someone as careless as you.

"Who do you choose in the palace to go to this kind of place?" Looking around, these soldiers are strong and strong, but most of them are dark-faced, with thick hands and feet. One can tell at a glance that they are poor people recruited from the people. After training, most of them will be sent to the border guards. .

There are many well-trained and well-equipped imperial guards in the palace. It’s just a matter of looking far away. What’s the use of picking some rough-handed soldiers?

"Hey, we inferior people can't figure out what the elders want to do..." The soldier suddenly stopped talking, "Here we come."

Lin Gongru followed to look at the general stage, and on the high stage that was empty just now, a man in the same full armor came striding forward. Behind him, a breastplate gleamed.

This man is about [-] years old and full of vigor.Standing on the stage, a pair of piercing eyes swept around, and the voice was like a bell: "It is a great honor for us to see the two princes in person today; everyone must cheer up and show their skills in front of the prince. Fan. Those who perform outstandingly in today's martial arts competition will be rewarded with ten taels of silver and ten bolts of silk!"

With such a generous reward, there was a commotion underneath, and even the eyes of those listless veterans had light in their eyes.

Lin Gongru was quite surprised, my lord?The prince came to this kind of recruit training camp to pick people?

The captain who looked like a captain was very satisfied with the reaction his words aroused among the soldiers. He waited for the commotion to subside a little, and then said: "If someone is recognized by Wang Yehui's eyes, he will follow the two palaces from now on." Next to Xia, will be the great good fortune that you have cultivated in your previous life. Therefore, in this martial arts competition, everyone will rely on their own abilities, regardless of life or death!!"

After a brief silence, what responded to him was a high-pitched drink.

Those veterans had already discarded the indifferent look that they were just about to die, they blushed and shouted loudly with thick necks, they were passionate, and they were not at all afraid of the bloody hidden under the words "life or death".In their eyes, they can only see the future of prosperity and wealth.

Although the recruits were not as excited as the veterans, they also realized the significance of winning today's contest in front of the two Highnesses, and they were also gearing up and eager to try.

The soldier next to Lin Gongru blushed even more excitedly, wishing he could take the lead in rushing up to the stage to compete.

On the east side of the school grounds, a brightly colored tent was set up, and six guards with stern faces and cold eyes stood outside the tent.Although he was not wearing armor, his fierce aura remained undiminished.Judging from the fine quality of the hanging waist knife, it should be the guards in the palace who came to protect the two princes.

Then those sitting in the tent are obviously the two princes who came to parade today.

Lin Gongru was among the soldiers lined up in a large circle waiting for orders, and looked into the tent several times curiously.

However, the distance is too far, so I can't see clearly the figure and appearance of the prince sitting in the middle. I only noticed that the captain who spoke just now, nodded and bowed out of the tent, took a long / spear, and stood ten feet away from the tent. On the sand, several vertical and horizontal lines were drawn from east to west, north to south.

Pointing to the deep scratches on the ground, he said loudly to everyone: "Use these four lines as boundaries, the one who goes out of the boundaries first will be considered a loser. Is there anyone who volunteered to be the first to stand up?"

A reply came from Lin Gongru's side: "I'll come!"

The reckless soldier who couldn't hold back for a long time jumped out of the team, his young face showed a look of excitement and excitement, and sweat dripped from the tip of his nose.

Immediately, someone came up with various weapons for him to choose.

He picked it for a long time before he took a long knife with no confidence, held it in his hand and looked at it again and again, the freshness was greater than the familiarity.This man knew at a glance that not long ago he was a simple and straightforward farmer holding a hoe handle.

A few veterans bullied him to be useless and scrambled to get on the stage. In the end, a fierce-looking one took the lead and stood in the arena first.

The two stood facing each other. The veteran who joined the army earlier chose a long /spear/.

The captain bowed and listened to the orders outside the tent, and after receiving the instructions, he raised his hand and said loudly: "The competition begins!"
