Rebirth of the First General
Chapter 38
The role is not very popular, and I vaguely remember the scene of being alone with my mother when I was young, and the little girl with black eyes that occasionally appeared in my dream.
The embarrassing guesses are buried in my heart, but I can only bear it alone. Sometimes I want to put everything on the table and ask if my father has robbed other people's wives?Is it because someone else's family was destroyed, that the current Du Yushi Mansion is a famous and beautiful family?
Behind Yang Bai who couldn't see it, Yang Ruizhi clenched his hand, the back of his pale hand was full of veins, it was obvious that he had exhausted a lot of strength.But his face was still calm, but his eyes closed for a while as if he was tired, and then he put his eyes on the desk with thick documents, and slowly wrote with a pen, as if that was the time in his life. the most important thing.
****
Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Ye stood on the edge of the small martial arts arena in Wenxuan Yuan, watching Gu Chiayi's swords and flowers in the middle, the young people's spirits burst out, and the three or two weeds in the bare place next to them also glowed with vigor Come alive.
Gu Jiayi turned around with a soft sword in his hand, and flew towards Gu Ye with a bow hung on the weapon handle.
Gu Ye reached out to catch it, and was about to say a few words to Gu Jiayi with a strict father's face, when he heard Gu Jiayi say: "Father, I heard that when you were young, you were also very good at shooting, let my son see it."
Gu Ye snorted, put one hand behind his back, and said based on his own opinion: "You should practice your sword hard, your moves are like flowers, do you think you are dancing?"
Gu Jiayi glanced at his father with a smile, and continued to look for trouble: "Father, after the autumn test, it will be Qiushou. At that time, the limelight will be robbed by my son. In front of my mother..."
Gu Ye thought about the scene and decided to practice it secretly.He said stubbornly: "When I walked through Yang with a hundred steps back then, you probably didn't have any milk."
"If I really didn't drink milk, Dad, you are in your twenties and you have lost your accuracy in archery, so it won't be much better." Gu Jiayi said.
"Go back and study hard. I signed up for the martial arts test in autumn, and I also signed up for the scholar section of the literary test." Gu Ye shook off a thunderbolt from the blue sky and walked away.
Gu Jiayi, however, looked at Gu Ye's calm back, shook his head in admiration, "Father, you are really not afraid of losing your face. Does a son who failed the ranking four times have a lot of face?"
As Gu Jiayi himself said, Gu Ye's face has almost lost after the spring test, especially in the market.There are rumors in the market that the Right Prime Minister raised a son who was an idiot, a scholar who passed the exam three times and finally disappeared.I haven't even entered the academy, so I don't know if it's because I'm shameful or because I'm afraid of being ashamed.
Gu Jiayi's reputation isn't much better either, after all, he has the title of "bad bag" hanging on his head, so even thinking about it, he knows how bad his image is.
So this is the fourth time for the Talent Division, Gu Jiayi really didn't expect that Gu Ye would report to him. Is this to let him stand up after being frustrated, or to continue to embarrass him?
But no matter what, Gu Jiayi knew that in Gu Ye's heart, face was not as important as his son!Thinking of this, Gu Jiayi felt a small, sour tingling feeling in his heart. After all, he owed his father a lot.From being dragged down by incompetence in the previous life, to being stubborn in this life.
The scrolls that Lin Jue verbally said were brought over by Baxi quickly, and Guye told Baxi with a smile that he even applied for the scholar department for the unsatisfied child.Baxi smiled with a pleasing round face, carrying a lot of Nine Treasures in his arms, and told Lord Right Minister that he would go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter.
Gu Jiayi started his morning exercises, and the rest of the day, when he was studying hard, made Tang You, who had Gu Jiayi grounded in the yard, feel a lot better.In my spare time, I started to visit Gu Jiayi with various tonic soups.
When Gu Jiayi started studying, his mind was still a mess, and all kinds of ideas to solve the problem were turned in his mind, and finally became a bigger lump.But gradually endured, relying on the small stove opened by Lin Yu, he began to understand Gu Ye's fuss-making skills.What you learn makes people feel more interesting. For a while, Gu Jiayi became very addicted.
Tang You leaned on the door frame of the study room, seeing Gu Jiayi straighten his back, with his hair loose and writing vigorously, with a smile on his face.
Seeing him put down his pen, Tang You entered the study, and said softly: "Yesterday I heard that you slept very late again, this is not good."
Gu Jiayi got up and took the small double-layer food box, and sat on the other side with Tang You.
The food box was uncovered, and there was a burst of aroma. Gu Jiayi took out a steaming snack and took a bite.
"Aniang, what are you having for lunch today?" Gu Jiayi was thinking about lunch before finishing his snacks.
Tang You watched him get close to him like a child, pinched Gu Jiayi's nose with a smile, and said with a soft smile, "You greedy cat, how old are you, and you still miss food?"
Gu Jiayi took a sip of the sweet orange tea, and pulled Gu Ye as a target, "Mother, Dad likes it too, and he always comes to grab my food at noon recently. It's not enough to eat my own, and I'm not afraid of tiring you. "
Tang You smiled, seeing that Gu Jiayi was eating well, he also picked up a snack and used it slowly.
It seemed that the atmosphere between the two of them was very good, but Gu Jiayi had the same habit as Lin Yu, and liked to pick up when the atmosphere was good and talk about not so pleasant things.
"Aniang, after I finish the martial arts test, can you stop me from being grounded?"
Tang You remembered the reason why Gu Jiayi was grounded, his face froze, and he looked at his son's tall body.Ask him: "Whose son do you like? Is anyone else married?"
Gu Jiayi shook his head, "I just don't like women, I don't have anyone I like yet."
Tang You didn't speak, Gu Jiayi gnawed some snacks, and said to her: "Mother, you promise me not to care about my future marriage, and I will take the exam hard to save face for Dad."
"If I don't agree, you're just messing around?" Tang You glared at him.
"Don't mess around, my son has no motivation to read. You know how boring reading is. It's better to go to the battlefield. Last time we met a large pack of wolves on the grassland. The wolf skins were sent back to my mother." Gu Jiayi As he spoke, there was still a longing look on his face.
Tang You was timid. She had seen Tang Anwen and Tang Wei covered in blood in the forest when she was a child, so she was very afraid of these beatings and killings.But Gu Jiayi didn't get married and went to fight wolves, Tang You quickly made a decision.
"You just study hard. It's okay if you don't do well in the exam. Auntie has a lot of farms and can afford you. If you don't want to get married in the future, Auntie can't harm others, so she can do whatever you want. It's just that other people's boys are you You have to understand it in detail.”
Gu Jiayi pinched Tang You's face affectionately, "Mother, the person I like is naturally excellent, and I have the same vision as Father."
Tang You was amused, and stretched out his hand to pat Gu Jiayi's head with great effort. He felt a little bit that Brother Guan grew up too fast, and he was so much taller than her in a year.
"Let's keep it from your father first, and my mother will tell him slowly that he has a stubborn temper." Speaking of Gu Ye, Tang You's eyes seemed to glow, and became more and more gentle.
Gu Jiayi nodded obediently, looked at Tang You's appearance, and remembered Tang You's last smile in his previous life.He was also thinking about his father, and finally left with a smile, his eyes glowing like this.Then thinking of Lin Yu, he drank the orange tea in one gulp, clapped his hands, and went back to read the article.
☆、Chapter 56
Gu Jiayi thought about it by himself at first, and only when he felt that he had gained a lot, he began to ask Gu Ye for questions.Although Gu Ye, who is extremely rigorous in learning, criticizes him badly every time, his progress is obviously getting bigger and bigger.
Gu Ye drank his tea with satisfaction, thinking that he had taught for many years and finally achieved something.But I heard Gu Jiayi say good things to Lin Yu.
"Father, you are very knowledgeable, but you are not as good as my senior brother in teaching people."
Gu Ye blew his beard and stared, and put his teacup down forcefully, "I'm stupid, and I'm the one to blame."
Gu Jiayi glanced at him, and teased, "I don't know who the one who missed the target repeatedly yesterday, and he's not so smart!"
Because of Gu Jiayi's thick skin, the relationship between father and son was unprecedentedly harmonious. Gu Ye looked at him and silently added articles for Gu Jiayi to study.
Gu Ye was willing to admit in his heart that Lin Yu was indeed a bit better at teaching people than he was when Gu Jiayi left in ink.He didn't know that what Lin Zhen taught was a person who had lived for more than ten years, and his endurance and perseverance had improved many times; while the one he taught at the beginning was a tired and lazy person.
The right minister's mansion in this chamber was peaceful and friendly, but in the court hall it was a completely different look.
Although Qin Taishi warned the eldest prince Lin Bin, Qin Guifei became more careful in serving Lin Yuanwu after hearing about it, but Lin Bin was not tolerable.In fact, strictly speaking, Lin Bin is not very useless, he is also considered assiduous in terms of literary talent, not far behind some Jinshi; in terms of martial arts, he is somewhat better than the frail Lin Xuan.Although he looks thin, he is proficient in archery and horseback riding, and his skills are not bad.Unlike Lin Yu, martial arts is purely a show.
But being born in an emperor's family, what makes him sad is that both of them are not surprising, especially in terms of temperament.A contemptuous look in Lin Yu's eyes can keep him in his heart for three days.Sometimes I can't help it, and I will confront Lin Zhen and the literati who defend Lin Zhen. The result is also predictable, being ridiculed and losing face.But because of Lin Yuanwu's protection, no one dared to make him look too ugly.
For Lin Yuanwu's eccentricity, Lin Jue just watched coldly.He should have known that people's hearts have been sidelined, and there is no way to pull them back.Those who knew that they shouldn't ask extravagantly after thinking about it, they shouldn't ask as much as they thought. Fortunately, he understood it before it was too late.
Busy with chores on weekdays, Lin Jue occasionally thought of Gu Jiayi, who hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he wrote more articles for him to study. It was also quite interesting to think of the wrinkled face of that person.But there are more touches buried in my heart, what Guan Geer worked hard for, and their future.
Lin Yu bowed his head and smiled and muttered: "Brother Guan..."
The voice was very soft, but Baxi knew that his master had been poisoned by the idiot, and the article on the table would definitely be sent to the right minister's house again.He shook his head, thinking strangely, could it be that his master wrote better than the right minister, or did he have some exclusive secret?
Baxi doesn't need the exclusive secret.Seeing that the master was fine, he went outside the hall and chatted with the little eunuch on duty.
As soon as he said a few words, he saw Lin Bin helping the prince and concubine, who was stroking her belly, towards the entrance of the palace.
Baxi patted the little eunuch on the shoulder, "I'll tell the master, you let the guards stop them, you're really full."
The little eunuch nodded, and Baxi hurried to the hall.The East Palace is located in the Imperial Palace, no more than the Eldest Prince's own mansion, so it is subject to some constraints.
Baxi watched Lin Xuan write the pen, and after finishing a paragraph, he hurriedly said: "The eldest prince brought the eldest prince and concubine over."
Lin Yu nodded, indicating that he knew.
Baxi said angrily again: "Isn't it just that you can have a baby? Before your stomach is full, you come here to show off."
"Who told you that your master didn't have one?" Lin Yu looked at him with a smile, his eyes were indifferent and relaxed, without the jealousy and envy that Lin Bin thought.
Baxi was slumped by Lin Zhen's words, looked at Lin Zhen dissatisfied, and sighed in disappointment.Heart said: Master, who made you fall in love with a man, if it is a woman, you will be tied up by the empress tomorrow.
Lin Jue looked out the window, the sun was already scorching noon.Curving the corners of his mouth, he said, "You asked someone to let them in, and if they get sunburned, it's my fault. I haven't seen Brother Dahuang for a long time, and Gu still misses him a lot."
After all, Baxi didn't have enough status, so she invited him in politely, and didn't give him a chance to catch him.
Lin Bin saw that Lin Yu was wearing a light-colored apricot-yellow long-sleeved dragon-pattern robe, with a jade-inlaid belt around his waist, and he had an extraordinary demeanor.Can't help feeling a little bit jealous, but in the blink of an eye, he looked at the eldest prince and concubine with a smile, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor's health is not good, and he can't accept a concubine for a short time, but I don't know the fun of being a father."
The eldest prince concubine laughed awkwardly. The child was only two months old, so she didn't know what fun the eldest prince could have.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, flicked his long sleeves, and sat down gracefully.Facing Lin Bin, he said, "Brother Huang, you still have to be more careful, so as not to be caught in the wrong place, saying that you don't know how to be superior."
The identity was a big pain in Lin Bin's heart, and he couldn't smile on his face, but he still got up, ready to salute Lin Bin.
Without waiting for him to bend down, Lin Yu immediately said: "Brother Huang, you are being polite. I just want to remind you. There are many things in this palace. If you accidentally bump into the wife of the emperor, things will not be beautiful."
The eldest concubine trembled, but Lin Yu smiled without any pressure.He is a big man, so naturally he can't do that kind of shameful thing, and those words are just to scare Lin Bin.In addition, when autumn really comes, the things that should happen should also start.
Lin Bin was bored, drank two cups of premium tea from Lin Yu, and took the eldest princess and concubine out of the East Palace.Walking to the gate of the palace, he said to himself: "A man, he doesn't even care about his heirs?"
This time Lin Bin found something wrong, but unfortunately he didn't know affection, he just found it strange.After returning to the First Prince's Mansion, the First Prince Concubine consciously went to the backyard, and Lin Bin went to his main courtyard.
The maidservant in light beige clothes stood beside the carved wooden door. The bright red wooden door made the maidservant's fair complexion even more pale pink, like a budding flower.Looking closer, the maidservant's jet-black eyes made the whole person very lively.
The eldest prince stepped forward and asked: "He doesn't care about heirs, is he considered a man? He is already old, and there is no one in the harem."
Yang Wanyan smiled and said: "Wanyan doesn't know, but what does Your Highness think?"
Lin Bin said: "Naturally there are deep meanings."
"The deep meaning is waiting for His Highness to go and explore."
***
On September [-]th, all the inns and courtyards in the capital were full of people, and the three-year military test and the autumn test were gathered together.
In fact, the years of these two days were originally staggered, but there was a year of chaos in one state, which delayed the military test for a year.Then the two major events came together, and the capital was surprisingly lively. The emperor was delighted to see it, and just now there was a similar event.
After several months of preparation, whenever Gu Jiayi saw a few fragments of text in the Four Books, he would consciously solve the problem, and only halfway through thinking about it did he feel dazed.
Chang Zhong, who was waiting for Gu Jiayi at the door, was replaced by a new servant, tall and tall, with thick calluses on his hands.Gu Jiayi didn't bother to ask, he reckoned that after the martial arts test was over, Gu Ye would probably tell him something.
On September [-]th, the autumn examination for Jinshi began.
On September [-]th, the martial arts test began.
Unlike the autumn exam, where there are three exams and nine days, there are three martial arts exams and one literary exam.
Gu Ye deliberately asked for leave, and together with Tang You packed the things that Gu Jiayi wanted to bring, the family sat in the spacious paulownia carriage together, and went to the location of the martial arts test.
It was still very early, and it was difficult for a carriage to travel. The guards on both sides tried their best to keep the road passing.
There were businessmen shouting and eating, but many early risers bought a lot.On the way, there were those who took the martial arts test together, and some who sent them off for the test.Then it's just to watch the fun.
Through the curtain of the car, Gu Jiayi listened to some servants gossiping about him.
"I heard that there is still the right minister's son in this martial arts test, and the one who failed in the spring test today!"
Someone spoke up and said, "I know, Mr. Right Prime Minister has no way to teach children."
Someone retorted: "I haven't seen the son of the Right Prime Minister come out to moles the women of a good family. Even if he can't study well, he is still a decent person."
At the beginning, the man was dissatisfied, "I heard that I didn't even study in the academy, so I don't know why? Don't make fun of me!"
"That's right, your young master is the only one who is good. Will you win the first prize in the martial arts test this year?"
Tang You blushed with anger, took a quick look at the corner of the car curtain, looked at Gu Jiayi and said, "It's the official Tian Shangshu's family, the one who is with you Beiman, can you beat him? Beat him hard!"
☆、Chapter 57
Gu Ye caressed Tang You's black hair behind her back, and told Gu Jiayi: "Don't listen to your mother. There are three rounds of competition, the first round of basics is naturally not difficult, and the second round of melee can combine several If you know each other, you will avoid being besieged. Wait for the third round, it depends on your luck."
These words actually echoed Tang You's thoughts, but they were more thoughtful. The second round of melee was indeed chaotic. In previous years, people with excellent skills were also eliminated.Gu Jiayi looked at Gu Ye with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Martial Arts Hall, and men from the city guards stood guard on both sides. One of them had a big knife hanging from his waist, and the scabbard revealed a chilling air.
Gu Ye patted Gu Jiayi on the shoulder and watched him go in.There was only a little relief in his eyes, as his father did not expect Gu Jiayi to become famous all at once, as long as he saw him making progress, he felt very satisfied in his heart.
But at this moment, Du Xiuqi felt a headache looking at Lin Yu in casual clothes.
"Master, why did you come here?"
Lin Yu said: "I am alone on behalf of my father to come to see the martial arts test. In the past, the martial arts test was always not as popular as the autumn test, but it was not as prosperous as it was then."
There are many competitions in the martial arts test, including the high-level mixed fighting and weapon fighting, as well as the literary test to test general talent. Originally, it is much more interesting than the sit-down test like the autumn test.However, Lin Yuanwu respected literature even more. After a year, the martial arts test was gradually forgotten by people.Du Xiuqi was also born in the martial arts test back then, and later entered the school lieutenant camp, and he was promoted rapidly all the way by being the savior. Hearing Lin Xuan say this, it also aroused a bit of regret.
"It will be much better when His Highness ascends the throne in the future." In Du Xiuqi's mind, Lin Yuanwu was a mediocre emperor.In the early years, dealing with the chaos of several kings' disputes was still a bit of an emperor's domineering, but later on he indulged in pleasure, it is the same as having or not.
Lin Jue flipped through this year's candidates for the martial arts test, and found that there were no more than three hundred candidates.This number is the sum of three years of accumulation, only over a hundred people a year, which is really not a lot, which shows that the martial arts test is getting more and more lonely.
Behind this red booklet is a specially selected list, that is, people who have never taken the title of martial arts master.Gu Jiayi was impressively in the first place. He had the seventh-rank official position bestowed by the emperor on his body, so he was at the top of the list.Lin Jue crossed Gu Jiayi's name, and the next one was Tian Wei.
He asked: "This field belongs to the official secretary's family. It's a good name. I remember it was last year's Juren. Why did you come here?"
Du Xiuqi didn't know whether Tian Wei or Ju Ren, so he couldn't answer.Lin Jue put down the booklet and said: "After the martial arts test, go and find out what the Zuo Xiang is related to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
Du Xiuqi nodded yes, and Du San outside the door came to remind him that there were still two quarters of an hour before the start of the exam.
Du Xiuqi looked at Lin Jue, but Lin Jue signaled him to go first, shaking a folding fan and clapping it in the palm of his hand, looking like a romantic man.He was handsome in the first place, and his peach blossom eyes showed a suave manner, with a relaxed expression on his face, walking behind Du Xiuqi in official uniform, he really thought he was here to watch the excitement.
The chief examiner is a second-rank general, and he was also in charge of the martial arts test in previous years.Seeing Lin Yu behind Du Xiuqi was surprised for a moment, he nodded his head, and then began to divide the candidates into groups.
More than 300 people lined up in an orderly manner, Wu Yangyang stood at one end of the martial arts arena.
In order not to disturb others, Lin Yu stood on the small two-story building where he watched. This wooden building is very simple and does not even have a roof.But today the weather is fine and there is a breeze, which makes people feel that the world is open.
Baxi looked carefully in the crowd, but Gu Jiayi was not found among the tall people.Ask Lin Yu: "Master, where is Lord Gu? Why didn't I see it?"
Lin Yu pointed to the middle of the innermost team, and it was Gu Jiayi who was submerged in the crowd.
As if aware of it, Gu Jiayi also looked up and saw the two master and servant standing on a high place.
Baxi said in surprise: "He saw us."
Lin Yu tapped his head with a fan, "Shut up, don't disturb them."
The distance was extremely far, Gu Jiayi smiled at the master and servant, and then returned to listening to the chief examiner.This is his first time participating in a martial arts test. Although he has inquired about many rules before, he still needs to correct his attitude.If there is any change, it will not be in a hurry.
On the contrary, Baxi whispered regretfully: "We finally came to see him, but we only gave him a smiling face..."
Lin Yu glanced at him with a smile, and continued to look forward in silence.
A row of candidates stood at the front in order, and started the first round of competition with a tight and capable bunt, each with a three-stone bow made by the Ministry of Industry.
This round of exams is all about basic skills, but it is a rare opportunity to be surrounded by so many people. It is inevitable that some people will lose control and make mistakes.Soon it was Gu Jiayi's turn. He raised his hands and dropped his hands. All ten arrows hit the bull's-eye, and each of the arrows behind them shot the previous one through the air.
His hands are very steady, and he has perfect control over his strength. At the moment when he shoots an arrow, all he has in his eyes is the bow and the arrow.The examiner standing in front of Du Xiuqi's eyes lit up and drew a circle after Gu Jiayi's name.The rest of the candidates also sighed in their hearts. Although they can also maintain the results of [-] out of [-], they are obviously not as amazing as Gu Jiayi.
Tian Wei is a few behind Gu Jiayi, although his clothes today are bunts, but the material is very special.The corners of the clothes are embroidered with delicate bamboo patterns, one can tell which family it is from at a glance.While others were stunned, he stepped forward and swiped ten arrows, but he hit ten in the same way as Gu Jiayi.
His name was also marked, and the people behind him challenged one after another as if encouraged.But it is a pity that if the strength is not enough, the arrow will fall to the ground, which is considered a miss.After these two people, most of the rest passed the first round of competition in a regular manner.
This competition only screened out dozens of people with poor psychological quality, and finally participated in the second round, exactly 300 people.
The 300 people were divided into six groups, 50 people in one group, and they got on the simple wooden platform without taking a rest.Lin Jue watched, feeling a little worried that Gu Jiayi would be targeted. If there were malicious people in the crowd, those who stood out in the first round would be easily targeted.
Gu Jiayi and Tianwei were assigned to the third wooden platform. He noticed with vigilance that the people on this wooden platform were all of good quality, and there were many people who seemed to know each other. Others who are ready to come forward.
Only ten people out of 50 people are left, which means that only one out of five people can be left behind.If fighting alone, Gu Jiayi naturally has a sure chance of winning, but even in such a situation where one person does not know, Gu Jiayi does not feel that he will be eliminated.
It's not arrogance, it's confidence in your abilities.Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for such a group of little brats to fall? He worked hard for the essay test for several months, and to put it bluntly, he was aiming for the number one prize!
☆、Chapter 58
With 50 people standing at one stand, the wooden platform didn't feel too big. Several wooden platforms were lined up in a row, and the scorching sun in the sky became more and more dazzling, and the atmosphere in the martial arts arena became anxious for no reason.
Gu Jiayi was standing on the side of the wooden platform, surrounded by three groups of seven or eight people, and Tian Wei was also surrounded by five people.From this point of view, it seems a bit strange for a scattered person like Gu Jiayi.
The scattered people are obviously also hesitating whether to form a gang to tide over the difficulties in front of them, but they don't know each other at first, so it is impossible for them to completely trust anyone who is free.However, it is an extremely dangerous situation to be alone without an alliance, and it is very likely to face the danger of attacking in groups.
At this time, a person who was standing in the middle from the beginning said, "Is there any brother who is willing to be with you temporarily?"Therefore, when he spoke, many people only hesitated for a moment before walking to him.
Gu Jiayi looked at them, only to feel that the posture of guarding against each other was a bit unreliable.
Tian Wei caressed the folds of his sleeves seemingly inadvertently, and his tone was as frivolous as ever: "Master Gu, do you want to go together?"
On the previous Beiman road, Gu Jiayi's official position was indeed a bit higher than him, so Gu Jiayi could afford to take on the responsibility.But as soon as he said this, except for a few people standing beside Tian Wei, they all looked at Gu Jiayi.
Gu Jiayi smiled lightly, his features were handsome, and he became more and more personable among a group of strong men. He said loudly: "Okay, Mr. Tian."
The group of people watching turned into two, and when Gu Jiayi came to Tian Wei's side, the others had already reacted.
This group is all through the back door!
It was also because of this thought that Gu Jiayi stepped into Tian Wei's side without hesitation, but he didn't know whether Tian Wei did it by mistake or did it on purpose.Gu Jiayi rolled up his sleeves, but saw a few more people walking over together, all with helpless wry smiles on their fairer faces.
Lin Yu from the small building over there saw this scene, touched his clean chin, and said softly, "I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten up."
Baxi said in surprise: "Lord Gu seems to be all from the capital, there are only a dozen or so in the booklet, and almost all of them are gathered together!"
Lin Yu explained to him: "It was specially arranged, but there are some hidden dangers when I look at this kind of melee, and I can change it in the future."
The five waves of men and horses were well divided, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the heat in the air began to spread. These men, whose force was higher than ordinary people, all felt the excitement of meeting their opponents.The heartbeat also seemed to be faster, the blood rushed to the heart, and the mind was also flooded with blood.
I don't know who was the first to make a move, and the chaos began on the stage. There was no sword, sword, or blood.But the muffled bang bang sound of punching flesh, the silent but extremely intense aura emanating from these bodies, it is the violent stimulation unique to Wu, and people in other industries, no matter how exciting the scene is, It is also a joy to lose!Little blood!
There was only a bang, and one person was kicked out of the wooden platform, and the kicker was kicked off the platform by another person because of lack of defense.
This seemed to be the beginning of the elimination, and people gradually fell from the other wooden platforms. The military doctor Shi Shiran beside him was stroking his long white beard, and he was quite a gentleman. When he raised his hand, those who were seriously injured were lifted up. go down.Feeling that he was fine, he waved his hands and stared at the stage without taking his eyes off.For them, this is not just a trick, but also a rare feast.
Gu Jiayi is quite tall among ordinary people, but he has a good saying, poor in culture and rich in martial arts, these martial arts practitioners are not short people who may be hungry.On the contrary, most of them are very talented and have affluent conditions to support them. At the very least, they are tall and long-legged, and there are not many who are strong.So among the group of people, it was Gu Jiayi and Hetian who took advantage of such a thin person.
In such a situation, their flexibility was brought into full play, and Gu Jiayi was almost targeted by several people. His hand strength is not something that ordinary people can win. Even if the strength in his body is only scratched, it is still very powerful. of.
Before they knew it, there were only a dozen or so people left on the stage. At this time, no one was in the mood to look at the other places, but just stared at the front and side of themselves, guarding against every enemy.The impromptu team had already been defeated one by one, and all the people stepped off the stage, and they were staring at Gu Jiayi and the others right now.
They saw two people on the stage looked at each other very quickly, and then people on both sides met Gu Jiayi and Tian Wei.Of the eight or nine people on this side, there are still five or six people left. If they are not dealt with, the people on both sides may be defeated. On the contrary, if they are eliminated, the remaining number is just right.
Gu Jiayi was standing in the front, and a strong man known for his supernatural power came straight to him. What was even more surprising was that a person from behind kicked Gu Jiayi violently.
The strong man shrank his pupils, Gu Jiayi stomped twice, stepped on the man's fist and turned around, and kicked Tian Wei violently!
A "bang" resounded on the wooden platform, and everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment, watching the two meet and separate.
However, Gu Jiayi turned his head to face the strong man very quickly, probably because he kicked people happily, his moves became more and more passionate, and his moves were also tumbling, more beautiful and elegant.
Tian Wei's half of his leg was numb, and he couldn't stand still for a while, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, but he was weird, so he managed to get up, propped up on one leg, and looked at Gu Jiayi with a wicked smile. The glow of excitement.
At this time, the situation was also settled, the second-rank general guarding not far from the wooden platform waved his hand, and the first gong and drum were sounded.The other wooden platforms became more and more tense, but a long time had passed, and all wooden platforms were at about the same progress.
After a few muffled sounds, the gongs and drums were struck one after another.
A loud voice sounded: "The ones left on the stage are this year's Wu Jinshi. They are preparing for the ranking test in the afternoon. The literary test will be tomorrow."
The knuckles on Gu Jiayi's fist were red, he smiled at the strong man, and hit the opponent's shoulder forcefully with his right fist, as if he had been a friend for a long time, and he had just experienced a hearty drink, and he seemed to have just experienced An extremely exhilarating sparring, with hot sweat falling from the temples, from an opponent to a friend because of mutual sympathy!
☆、Chapter 59
At noon, with the hot soup prepared by the martial arts hall, hundreds of people ate their own meals, and those who did not have the opportunity for the third round of competition did not leave, and basically chose to stay and continue watching the competition.
Gu Jiayi poured a cup of ginseng soup, sat for a while, and the gongs and drums of the third round of the competition sounded, and the loud sound spread far away, startling the birds that made their homes on the trees.
Sweat was dripping from Baxi's forehead, and she fanned Lin Jue from time to time, trying to stand on tiptoes to shield Lin Juan from the too hot light.
There was a layer of sweat on Lin Yu's back, but the next competition was too attractive, how could he be willing to miss it.
He took the fan in Baxi's hand and urged him: "Go down first, let Du Xiuqi and the others prepare some warm water, and then wipe off the sweat of these warriors."
Baxi nodded, looking at Lin Jue's shiny black hair, worried for a while, and said worriedly: "I'll guard here, and when Lord Gu comes out, I'll call you, master."
Lin Yu laughed, "You worry, this is like a wheel battle, there is no time to rest. Five matches in a row, the winner is almost this year's champion."
Baxi took out a clean cotton handkerchief and handed it to Lin Xie, and asked, "Wouldn't it be exhausting to fight with wheels?"
At this time, the venue was still being set up. Lin Yu looked forward and crossed the wall of the martial arts hall. There was a lot of people outside the door: "Not all, 30 years ago, there was a champion who was invincible. No one can withstand the sharpness of a catty heavy sword."
Ba Xi was stunned, "It's amazing, Mr. Gu might be very powerful too! To defeat other people in twos and threes, master, it's better for you to show less."
"He's not that good." He's still young.From Lin Yu's point of view, Gu Jiayi has a maturity beyond that of his peers, but his actual age is always there, and his temperament will inevitably jump out. Sometimes he is dull, but he is even more simple and cute.
The lovely Gu Jiayi entered the martial arts arena after a rest, bearing the sweat brewing at noon.A weapon rack was placed next to the six wooden platforms, and the bright cold light shone dangerously under the extremely enthusiastic sunlight.
Weapon fighting is just a two-two duel, but it is more dangerous than the previous melee, because the damage of fists is always limited, and you can't pick too hard on the stage, otherwise there will be black spots on the subsequent records, which will affect to the future official career.Let me ask you, an upright person or an insidious villain, which one will people in this world like?
What's more, in a group known for being upright like warriors, an image of integrity is still supported and respected virtually.It's not that Gu Jiayi didn't fail to guess Tian Wei's intentions during the fight, otherwise he wouldn't have turned around so fast and fought back so swiftly; it's just that he had guessed earlier that Tian Wei would find trouble in the weapon fight and be ruthless. Instead of attacking from behind in a melee.Not a foul, but not that good.
The opponent turned around in front of the weapon rack, and asked Gu Jiayi very politely: "What weapon do you use well? Do you want to use the same one?"
This person was not in the same wooden platform as Gu Jiayi before, and neither of them knew each other's level. He thought that if Gu Jiayi could be inspired to use
The embarrassing guesses are buried in my heart, but I can only bear it alone. Sometimes I want to put everything on the table and ask if my father has robbed other people's wives?Is it because someone else's family was destroyed, that the current Du Yushi Mansion is a famous and beautiful family?
Behind Yang Bai who couldn't see it, Yang Ruizhi clenched his hand, the back of his pale hand was full of veins, it was obvious that he had exhausted a lot of strength.But his face was still calm, but his eyes closed for a while as if he was tired, and then he put his eyes on the desk with thick documents, and slowly wrote with a pen, as if that was the time in his life. the most important thing.
****
Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Ye stood on the edge of the small martial arts arena in Wenxuan Yuan, watching Gu Chiayi's swords and flowers in the middle, the young people's spirits burst out, and the three or two weeds in the bare place next to them also glowed with vigor Come alive.
Gu Jiayi turned around with a soft sword in his hand, and flew towards Gu Ye with a bow hung on the weapon handle.
Gu Ye reached out to catch it, and was about to say a few words to Gu Jiayi with a strict father's face, when he heard Gu Jiayi say: "Father, I heard that when you were young, you were also very good at shooting, let my son see it."
Gu Ye snorted, put one hand behind his back, and said based on his own opinion: "You should practice your sword hard, your moves are like flowers, do you think you are dancing?"
Gu Jiayi glanced at his father with a smile, and continued to look for trouble: "Father, after the autumn test, it will be Qiushou. At that time, the limelight will be robbed by my son. In front of my mother..."
Gu Ye thought about the scene and decided to practice it secretly.He said stubbornly: "When I walked through Yang with a hundred steps back then, you probably didn't have any milk."
"If I really didn't drink milk, Dad, you are in your twenties and you have lost your accuracy in archery, so it won't be much better." Gu Jiayi said.
"Go back and study hard. I signed up for the martial arts test in autumn, and I also signed up for the scholar section of the literary test." Gu Ye shook off a thunderbolt from the blue sky and walked away.
Gu Jiayi, however, looked at Gu Ye's calm back, shook his head in admiration, "Father, you are really not afraid of losing your face. Does a son who failed the ranking four times have a lot of face?"
As Gu Jiayi himself said, Gu Ye's face has almost lost after the spring test, especially in the market.There are rumors in the market that the Right Prime Minister raised a son who was an idiot, a scholar who passed the exam three times and finally disappeared.I haven't even entered the academy, so I don't know if it's because I'm shameful or because I'm afraid of being ashamed.
Gu Jiayi's reputation isn't much better either, after all, he has the title of "bad bag" hanging on his head, so even thinking about it, he knows how bad his image is.
So this is the fourth time for the Talent Division, Gu Jiayi really didn't expect that Gu Ye would report to him. Is this to let him stand up after being frustrated, or to continue to embarrass him?
But no matter what, Gu Jiayi knew that in Gu Ye's heart, face was not as important as his son!Thinking of this, Gu Jiayi felt a small, sour tingling feeling in his heart. After all, he owed his father a lot.From being dragged down by incompetence in the previous life, to being stubborn in this life.
The scrolls that Lin Jue verbally said were brought over by Baxi quickly, and Guye told Baxi with a smile that he even applied for the scholar department for the unsatisfied child.Baxi smiled with a pleasing round face, carrying a lot of Nine Treasures in his arms, and told Lord Right Minister that he would go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter.
Gu Jiayi started his morning exercises, and the rest of the day, when he was studying hard, made Tang You, who had Gu Jiayi grounded in the yard, feel a lot better.In my spare time, I started to visit Gu Jiayi with various tonic soups.
When Gu Jiayi started studying, his mind was still a mess, and all kinds of ideas to solve the problem were turned in his mind, and finally became a bigger lump.But gradually endured, relying on the small stove opened by Lin Yu, he began to understand Gu Ye's fuss-making skills.What you learn makes people feel more interesting. For a while, Gu Jiayi became very addicted.
Tang You leaned on the door frame of the study room, seeing Gu Jiayi straighten his back, with his hair loose and writing vigorously, with a smile on his face.
Seeing him put down his pen, Tang You entered the study, and said softly: "Yesterday I heard that you slept very late again, this is not good."
Gu Jiayi got up and took the small double-layer food box, and sat on the other side with Tang You.
The food box was uncovered, and there was a burst of aroma. Gu Jiayi took out a steaming snack and took a bite.
"Aniang, what are you having for lunch today?" Gu Jiayi was thinking about lunch before finishing his snacks.
Tang You watched him get close to him like a child, pinched Gu Jiayi's nose with a smile, and said with a soft smile, "You greedy cat, how old are you, and you still miss food?"
Gu Jiayi took a sip of the sweet orange tea, and pulled Gu Ye as a target, "Mother, Dad likes it too, and he always comes to grab my food at noon recently. It's not enough to eat my own, and I'm not afraid of tiring you. "
Tang You smiled, seeing that Gu Jiayi was eating well, he also picked up a snack and used it slowly.
It seemed that the atmosphere between the two of them was very good, but Gu Jiayi had the same habit as Lin Yu, and liked to pick up when the atmosphere was good and talk about not so pleasant things.
"Aniang, after I finish the martial arts test, can you stop me from being grounded?"
Tang You remembered the reason why Gu Jiayi was grounded, his face froze, and he looked at his son's tall body.Ask him: "Whose son do you like? Is anyone else married?"
Gu Jiayi shook his head, "I just don't like women, I don't have anyone I like yet."
Tang You didn't speak, Gu Jiayi gnawed some snacks, and said to her: "Mother, you promise me not to care about my future marriage, and I will take the exam hard to save face for Dad."
"If I don't agree, you're just messing around?" Tang You glared at him.
"Don't mess around, my son has no motivation to read. You know how boring reading is. It's better to go to the battlefield. Last time we met a large pack of wolves on the grassland. The wolf skins were sent back to my mother." Gu Jiayi As he spoke, there was still a longing look on his face.
Tang You was timid. She had seen Tang Anwen and Tang Wei covered in blood in the forest when she was a child, so she was very afraid of these beatings and killings.But Gu Jiayi didn't get married and went to fight wolves, Tang You quickly made a decision.
"You just study hard. It's okay if you don't do well in the exam. Auntie has a lot of farms and can afford you. If you don't want to get married in the future, Auntie can't harm others, so she can do whatever you want. It's just that other people's boys are you You have to understand it in detail.”
Gu Jiayi pinched Tang You's face affectionately, "Mother, the person I like is naturally excellent, and I have the same vision as Father."
Tang You was amused, and stretched out his hand to pat Gu Jiayi's head with great effort. He felt a little bit that Brother Guan grew up too fast, and he was so much taller than her in a year.
"Let's keep it from your father first, and my mother will tell him slowly that he has a stubborn temper." Speaking of Gu Ye, Tang You's eyes seemed to glow, and became more and more gentle.
Gu Jiayi nodded obediently, looked at Tang You's appearance, and remembered Tang You's last smile in his previous life.He was also thinking about his father, and finally left with a smile, his eyes glowing like this.Then thinking of Lin Yu, he drank the orange tea in one gulp, clapped his hands, and went back to read the article.
☆、Chapter 56
Gu Jiayi thought about it by himself at first, and only when he felt that he had gained a lot, he began to ask Gu Ye for questions.Although Gu Ye, who is extremely rigorous in learning, criticizes him badly every time, his progress is obviously getting bigger and bigger.
Gu Ye drank his tea with satisfaction, thinking that he had taught for many years and finally achieved something.But I heard Gu Jiayi say good things to Lin Yu.
"Father, you are very knowledgeable, but you are not as good as my senior brother in teaching people."
Gu Ye blew his beard and stared, and put his teacup down forcefully, "I'm stupid, and I'm the one to blame."
Gu Jiayi glanced at him, and teased, "I don't know who the one who missed the target repeatedly yesterday, and he's not so smart!"
Because of Gu Jiayi's thick skin, the relationship between father and son was unprecedentedly harmonious. Gu Ye looked at him and silently added articles for Gu Jiayi to study.
Gu Ye was willing to admit in his heart that Lin Yu was indeed a bit better at teaching people than he was when Gu Jiayi left in ink.He didn't know that what Lin Zhen taught was a person who had lived for more than ten years, and his endurance and perseverance had improved many times; while the one he taught at the beginning was a tired and lazy person.
The right minister's mansion in this chamber was peaceful and friendly, but in the court hall it was a completely different look.
Although Qin Taishi warned the eldest prince Lin Bin, Qin Guifei became more careful in serving Lin Yuanwu after hearing about it, but Lin Bin was not tolerable.In fact, strictly speaking, Lin Bin is not very useless, he is also considered assiduous in terms of literary talent, not far behind some Jinshi; in terms of martial arts, he is somewhat better than the frail Lin Xuan.Although he looks thin, he is proficient in archery and horseback riding, and his skills are not bad.Unlike Lin Yu, martial arts is purely a show.
But being born in an emperor's family, what makes him sad is that both of them are not surprising, especially in terms of temperament.A contemptuous look in Lin Yu's eyes can keep him in his heart for three days.Sometimes I can't help it, and I will confront Lin Zhen and the literati who defend Lin Zhen. The result is also predictable, being ridiculed and losing face.But because of Lin Yuanwu's protection, no one dared to make him look too ugly.
For Lin Yuanwu's eccentricity, Lin Jue just watched coldly.He should have known that people's hearts have been sidelined, and there is no way to pull them back.Those who knew that they shouldn't ask extravagantly after thinking about it, they shouldn't ask as much as they thought. Fortunately, he understood it before it was too late.
Busy with chores on weekdays, Lin Jue occasionally thought of Gu Jiayi, who hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he wrote more articles for him to study. It was also quite interesting to think of the wrinkled face of that person.But there are more touches buried in my heart, what Guan Geer worked hard for, and their future.
Lin Yu bowed his head and smiled and muttered: "Brother Guan..."
The voice was very soft, but Baxi knew that his master had been poisoned by the idiot, and the article on the table would definitely be sent to the right minister's house again.He shook his head, thinking strangely, could it be that his master wrote better than the right minister, or did he have some exclusive secret?
Baxi doesn't need the exclusive secret.Seeing that the master was fine, he went outside the hall and chatted with the little eunuch on duty.
As soon as he said a few words, he saw Lin Bin helping the prince and concubine, who was stroking her belly, towards the entrance of the palace.
Baxi patted the little eunuch on the shoulder, "I'll tell the master, you let the guards stop them, you're really full."
The little eunuch nodded, and Baxi hurried to the hall.The East Palace is located in the Imperial Palace, no more than the Eldest Prince's own mansion, so it is subject to some constraints.
Baxi watched Lin Xuan write the pen, and after finishing a paragraph, he hurriedly said: "The eldest prince brought the eldest prince and concubine over."
Lin Yu nodded, indicating that he knew.
Baxi said angrily again: "Isn't it just that you can have a baby? Before your stomach is full, you come here to show off."
"Who told you that your master didn't have one?" Lin Yu looked at him with a smile, his eyes were indifferent and relaxed, without the jealousy and envy that Lin Bin thought.
Baxi was slumped by Lin Zhen's words, looked at Lin Zhen dissatisfied, and sighed in disappointment.Heart said: Master, who made you fall in love with a man, if it is a woman, you will be tied up by the empress tomorrow.
Lin Jue looked out the window, the sun was already scorching noon.Curving the corners of his mouth, he said, "You asked someone to let them in, and if they get sunburned, it's my fault. I haven't seen Brother Dahuang for a long time, and Gu still misses him a lot."
After all, Baxi didn't have enough status, so she invited him in politely, and didn't give him a chance to catch him.
Lin Bin saw that Lin Yu was wearing a light-colored apricot-yellow long-sleeved dragon-pattern robe, with a jade-inlaid belt around his waist, and he had an extraordinary demeanor.Can't help feeling a little bit jealous, but in the blink of an eye, he looked at the eldest prince and concubine with a smile, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor's health is not good, and he can't accept a concubine for a short time, but I don't know the fun of being a father."
The eldest prince concubine laughed awkwardly. The child was only two months old, so she didn't know what fun the eldest prince could have.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, flicked his long sleeves, and sat down gracefully.Facing Lin Bin, he said, "Brother Huang, you still have to be more careful, so as not to be caught in the wrong place, saying that you don't know how to be superior."
The identity was a big pain in Lin Bin's heart, and he couldn't smile on his face, but he still got up, ready to salute Lin Bin.
Without waiting for him to bend down, Lin Yu immediately said: "Brother Huang, you are being polite. I just want to remind you. There are many things in this palace. If you accidentally bump into the wife of the emperor, things will not be beautiful."
The eldest concubine trembled, but Lin Yu smiled without any pressure.He is a big man, so naturally he can't do that kind of shameful thing, and those words are just to scare Lin Bin.In addition, when autumn really comes, the things that should happen should also start.
Lin Bin was bored, drank two cups of premium tea from Lin Yu, and took the eldest princess and concubine out of the East Palace.Walking to the gate of the palace, he said to himself: "A man, he doesn't even care about his heirs?"
This time Lin Bin found something wrong, but unfortunately he didn't know affection, he just found it strange.After returning to the First Prince's Mansion, the First Prince Concubine consciously went to the backyard, and Lin Bin went to his main courtyard.
The maidservant in light beige clothes stood beside the carved wooden door. The bright red wooden door made the maidservant's fair complexion even more pale pink, like a budding flower.Looking closer, the maidservant's jet-black eyes made the whole person very lively.
The eldest prince stepped forward and asked: "He doesn't care about heirs, is he considered a man? He is already old, and there is no one in the harem."
Yang Wanyan smiled and said: "Wanyan doesn't know, but what does Your Highness think?"
Lin Bin said: "Naturally there are deep meanings."
"The deep meaning is waiting for His Highness to go and explore."
***
On September [-]th, all the inns and courtyards in the capital were full of people, and the three-year military test and the autumn test were gathered together.
In fact, the years of these two days were originally staggered, but there was a year of chaos in one state, which delayed the military test for a year.Then the two major events came together, and the capital was surprisingly lively. The emperor was delighted to see it, and just now there was a similar event.
After several months of preparation, whenever Gu Jiayi saw a few fragments of text in the Four Books, he would consciously solve the problem, and only halfway through thinking about it did he feel dazed.
Chang Zhong, who was waiting for Gu Jiayi at the door, was replaced by a new servant, tall and tall, with thick calluses on his hands.Gu Jiayi didn't bother to ask, he reckoned that after the martial arts test was over, Gu Ye would probably tell him something.
On September [-]th, the autumn examination for Jinshi began.
On September [-]th, the martial arts test began.
Unlike the autumn exam, where there are three exams and nine days, there are three martial arts exams and one literary exam.
Gu Ye deliberately asked for leave, and together with Tang You packed the things that Gu Jiayi wanted to bring, the family sat in the spacious paulownia carriage together, and went to the location of the martial arts test.
It was still very early, and it was difficult for a carriage to travel. The guards on both sides tried their best to keep the road passing.
There were businessmen shouting and eating, but many early risers bought a lot.On the way, there were those who took the martial arts test together, and some who sent them off for the test.Then it's just to watch the fun.
Through the curtain of the car, Gu Jiayi listened to some servants gossiping about him.
"I heard that there is still the right minister's son in this martial arts test, and the one who failed in the spring test today!"
Someone spoke up and said, "I know, Mr. Right Prime Minister has no way to teach children."
Someone retorted: "I haven't seen the son of the Right Prime Minister come out to moles the women of a good family. Even if he can't study well, he is still a decent person."
At the beginning, the man was dissatisfied, "I heard that I didn't even study in the academy, so I don't know why? Don't make fun of me!"
"That's right, your young master is the only one who is good. Will you win the first prize in the martial arts test this year?"
Tang You blushed with anger, took a quick look at the corner of the car curtain, looked at Gu Jiayi and said, "It's the official Tian Shangshu's family, the one who is with you Beiman, can you beat him? Beat him hard!"
☆、Chapter 57
Gu Ye caressed Tang You's black hair behind her back, and told Gu Jiayi: "Don't listen to your mother. There are three rounds of competition, the first round of basics is naturally not difficult, and the second round of melee can combine several If you know each other, you will avoid being besieged. Wait for the third round, it depends on your luck."
These words actually echoed Tang You's thoughts, but they were more thoughtful. The second round of melee was indeed chaotic. In previous years, people with excellent skills were also eliminated.Gu Jiayi looked at Gu Ye with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Martial Arts Hall, and men from the city guards stood guard on both sides. One of them had a big knife hanging from his waist, and the scabbard revealed a chilling air.
Gu Ye patted Gu Jiayi on the shoulder and watched him go in.There was only a little relief in his eyes, as his father did not expect Gu Jiayi to become famous all at once, as long as he saw him making progress, he felt very satisfied in his heart.
But at this moment, Du Xiuqi felt a headache looking at Lin Yu in casual clothes.
"Master, why did you come here?"
Lin Yu said: "I am alone on behalf of my father to come to see the martial arts test. In the past, the martial arts test was always not as popular as the autumn test, but it was not as prosperous as it was then."
There are many competitions in the martial arts test, including the high-level mixed fighting and weapon fighting, as well as the literary test to test general talent. Originally, it is much more interesting than the sit-down test like the autumn test.However, Lin Yuanwu respected literature even more. After a year, the martial arts test was gradually forgotten by people.Du Xiuqi was also born in the martial arts test back then, and later entered the school lieutenant camp, and he was promoted rapidly all the way by being the savior. Hearing Lin Xuan say this, it also aroused a bit of regret.
"It will be much better when His Highness ascends the throne in the future." In Du Xiuqi's mind, Lin Yuanwu was a mediocre emperor.In the early years, dealing with the chaos of several kings' disputes was still a bit of an emperor's domineering, but later on he indulged in pleasure, it is the same as having or not.
Lin Jue flipped through this year's candidates for the martial arts test, and found that there were no more than three hundred candidates.This number is the sum of three years of accumulation, only over a hundred people a year, which is really not a lot, which shows that the martial arts test is getting more and more lonely.
Behind this red booklet is a specially selected list, that is, people who have never taken the title of martial arts master.Gu Jiayi was impressively in the first place. He had the seventh-rank official position bestowed by the emperor on his body, so he was at the top of the list.Lin Jue crossed Gu Jiayi's name, and the next one was Tian Wei.
He asked: "This field belongs to the official secretary's family. It's a good name. I remember it was last year's Juren. Why did you come here?"
Du Xiuqi didn't know whether Tian Wei or Ju Ren, so he couldn't answer.Lin Jue put down the booklet and said: "After the martial arts test, go and find out what the Zuo Xiang is related to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
Du Xiuqi nodded yes, and Du San outside the door came to remind him that there were still two quarters of an hour before the start of the exam.
Du Xiuqi looked at Lin Jue, but Lin Jue signaled him to go first, shaking a folding fan and clapping it in the palm of his hand, looking like a romantic man.He was handsome in the first place, and his peach blossom eyes showed a suave manner, with a relaxed expression on his face, walking behind Du Xiuqi in official uniform, he really thought he was here to watch the excitement.
The chief examiner is a second-rank general, and he was also in charge of the martial arts test in previous years.Seeing Lin Yu behind Du Xiuqi was surprised for a moment, he nodded his head, and then began to divide the candidates into groups.
More than 300 people lined up in an orderly manner, Wu Yangyang stood at one end of the martial arts arena.
In order not to disturb others, Lin Yu stood on the small two-story building where he watched. This wooden building is very simple and does not even have a roof.But today the weather is fine and there is a breeze, which makes people feel that the world is open.
Baxi looked carefully in the crowd, but Gu Jiayi was not found among the tall people.Ask Lin Yu: "Master, where is Lord Gu? Why didn't I see it?"
Lin Yu pointed to the middle of the innermost team, and it was Gu Jiayi who was submerged in the crowd.
As if aware of it, Gu Jiayi also looked up and saw the two master and servant standing on a high place.
Baxi said in surprise: "He saw us."
Lin Yu tapped his head with a fan, "Shut up, don't disturb them."
The distance was extremely far, Gu Jiayi smiled at the master and servant, and then returned to listening to the chief examiner.This is his first time participating in a martial arts test. Although he has inquired about many rules before, he still needs to correct his attitude.If there is any change, it will not be in a hurry.
On the contrary, Baxi whispered regretfully: "We finally came to see him, but we only gave him a smiling face..."
Lin Yu glanced at him with a smile, and continued to look forward in silence.
A row of candidates stood at the front in order, and started the first round of competition with a tight and capable bunt, each with a three-stone bow made by the Ministry of Industry.
This round of exams is all about basic skills, but it is a rare opportunity to be surrounded by so many people. It is inevitable that some people will lose control and make mistakes.Soon it was Gu Jiayi's turn. He raised his hands and dropped his hands. All ten arrows hit the bull's-eye, and each of the arrows behind them shot the previous one through the air.
His hands are very steady, and he has perfect control over his strength. At the moment when he shoots an arrow, all he has in his eyes is the bow and the arrow.The examiner standing in front of Du Xiuqi's eyes lit up and drew a circle after Gu Jiayi's name.The rest of the candidates also sighed in their hearts. Although they can also maintain the results of [-] out of [-], they are obviously not as amazing as Gu Jiayi.
Tian Wei is a few behind Gu Jiayi, although his clothes today are bunts, but the material is very special.The corners of the clothes are embroidered with delicate bamboo patterns, one can tell which family it is from at a glance.While others were stunned, he stepped forward and swiped ten arrows, but he hit ten in the same way as Gu Jiayi.
His name was also marked, and the people behind him challenged one after another as if encouraged.But it is a pity that if the strength is not enough, the arrow will fall to the ground, which is considered a miss.After these two people, most of the rest passed the first round of competition in a regular manner.
This competition only screened out dozens of people with poor psychological quality, and finally participated in the second round, exactly 300 people.
The 300 people were divided into six groups, 50 people in one group, and they got on the simple wooden platform without taking a rest.Lin Jue watched, feeling a little worried that Gu Jiayi would be targeted. If there were malicious people in the crowd, those who stood out in the first round would be easily targeted.
Gu Jiayi and Tianwei were assigned to the third wooden platform. He noticed with vigilance that the people on this wooden platform were all of good quality, and there were many people who seemed to know each other. Others who are ready to come forward.
Only ten people out of 50 people are left, which means that only one out of five people can be left behind.If fighting alone, Gu Jiayi naturally has a sure chance of winning, but even in such a situation where one person does not know, Gu Jiayi does not feel that he will be eliminated.
It's not arrogance, it's confidence in your abilities.Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for such a group of little brats to fall? He worked hard for the essay test for several months, and to put it bluntly, he was aiming for the number one prize!
☆、Chapter 58
With 50 people standing at one stand, the wooden platform didn't feel too big. Several wooden platforms were lined up in a row, and the scorching sun in the sky became more and more dazzling, and the atmosphere in the martial arts arena became anxious for no reason.
Gu Jiayi was standing on the side of the wooden platform, surrounded by three groups of seven or eight people, and Tian Wei was also surrounded by five people.From this point of view, it seems a bit strange for a scattered person like Gu Jiayi.
The scattered people are obviously also hesitating whether to form a gang to tide over the difficulties in front of them, but they don't know each other at first, so it is impossible for them to completely trust anyone who is free.However, it is an extremely dangerous situation to be alone without an alliance, and it is very likely to face the danger of attacking in groups.
At this time, a person who was standing in the middle from the beginning said, "Is there any brother who is willing to be with you temporarily?"Therefore, when he spoke, many people only hesitated for a moment before walking to him.
Gu Jiayi looked at them, only to feel that the posture of guarding against each other was a bit unreliable.
Tian Wei caressed the folds of his sleeves seemingly inadvertently, and his tone was as frivolous as ever: "Master Gu, do you want to go together?"
On the previous Beiman road, Gu Jiayi's official position was indeed a bit higher than him, so Gu Jiayi could afford to take on the responsibility.But as soon as he said this, except for a few people standing beside Tian Wei, they all looked at Gu Jiayi.
Gu Jiayi smiled lightly, his features were handsome, and he became more and more personable among a group of strong men. He said loudly: "Okay, Mr. Tian."
The group of people watching turned into two, and when Gu Jiayi came to Tian Wei's side, the others had already reacted.
This group is all through the back door!
It was also because of this thought that Gu Jiayi stepped into Tian Wei's side without hesitation, but he didn't know whether Tian Wei did it by mistake or did it on purpose.Gu Jiayi rolled up his sleeves, but saw a few more people walking over together, all with helpless wry smiles on their fairer faces.
Lin Yu from the small building over there saw this scene, touched his clean chin, and said softly, "I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten up."
Baxi said in surprise: "Lord Gu seems to be all from the capital, there are only a dozen or so in the booklet, and almost all of them are gathered together!"
Lin Yu explained to him: "It was specially arranged, but there are some hidden dangers when I look at this kind of melee, and I can change it in the future."
The five waves of men and horses were well divided, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the heat in the air began to spread. These men, whose force was higher than ordinary people, all felt the excitement of meeting their opponents.The heartbeat also seemed to be faster, the blood rushed to the heart, and the mind was also flooded with blood.
I don't know who was the first to make a move, and the chaos began on the stage. There was no sword, sword, or blood.But the muffled bang bang sound of punching flesh, the silent but extremely intense aura emanating from these bodies, it is the violent stimulation unique to Wu, and people in other industries, no matter how exciting the scene is, It is also a joy to lose!Little blood!
There was only a bang, and one person was kicked out of the wooden platform, and the kicker was kicked off the platform by another person because of lack of defense.
This seemed to be the beginning of the elimination, and people gradually fell from the other wooden platforms. The military doctor Shi Shiran beside him was stroking his long white beard, and he was quite a gentleman. When he raised his hand, those who were seriously injured were lifted up. go down.Feeling that he was fine, he waved his hands and stared at the stage without taking his eyes off.For them, this is not just a trick, but also a rare feast.
Gu Jiayi is quite tall among ordinary people, but he has a good saying, poor in culture and rich in martial arts, these martial arts practitioners are not short people who may be hungry.On the contrary, most of them are very talented and have affluent conditions to support them. At the very least, they are tall and long-legged, and there are not many who are strong.So among the group of people, it was Gu Jiayi and Hetian who took advantage of such a thin person.
In such a situation, their flexibility was brought into full play, and Gu Jiayi was almost targeted by several people. His hand strength is not something that ordinary people can win. Even if the strength in his body is only scratched, it is still very powerful. of.
Before they knew it, there were only a dozen or so people left on the stage. At this time, no one was in the mood to look at the other places, but just stared at the front and side of themselves, guarding against every enemy.The impromptu team had already been defeated one by one, and all the people stepped off the stage, and they were staring at Gu Jiayi and the others right now.
They saw two people on the stage looked at each other very quickly, and then people on both sides met Gu Jiayi and Tian Wei.Of the eight or nine people on this side, there are still five or six people left. If they are not dealt with, the people on both sides may be defeated. On the contrary, if they are eliminated, the remaining number is just right.
Gu Jiayi was standing in the front, and a strong man known for his supernatural power came straight to him. What was even more surprising was that a person from behind kicked Gu Jiayi violently.
The strong man shrank his pupils, Gu Jiayi stomped twice, stepped on the man's fist and turned around, and kicked Tian Wei violently!
A "bang" resounded on the wooden platform, and everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment, watching the two meet and separate.
However, Gu Jiayi turned his head to face the strong man very quickly, probably because he kicked people happily, his moves became more and more passionate, and his moves were also tumbling, more beautiful and elegant.
Tian Wei's half of his leg was numb, and he couldn't stand still for a while, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, but he was weird, so he managed to get up, propped up on one leg, and looked at Gu Jiayi with a wicked smile. The glow of excitement.
At this time, the situation was also settled, the second-rank general guarding not far from the wooden platform waved his hand, and the first gong and drum were sounded.The other wooden platforms became more and more tense, but a long time had passed, and all wooden platforms were at about the same progress.
After a few muffled sounds, the gongs and drums were struck one after another.
A loud voice sounded: "The ones left on the stage are this year's Wu Jinshi. They are preparing for the ranking test in the afternoon. The literary test will be tomorrow."
The knuckles on Gu Jiayi's fist were red, he smiled at the strong man, and hit the opponent's shoulder forcefully with his right fist, as if he had been a friend for a long time, and he had just experienced a hearty drink, and he seemed to have just experienced An extremely exhilarating sparring, with hot sweat falling from the temples, from an opponent to a friend because of mutual sympathy!
☆、Chapter 59
At noon, with the hot soup prepared by the martial arts hall, hundreds of people ate their own meals, and those who did not have the opportunity for the third round of competition did not leave, and basically chose to stay and continue watching the competition.
Gu Jiayi poured a cup of ginseng soup, sat for a while, and the gongs and drums of the third round of the competition sounded, and the loud sound spread far away, startling the birds that made their homes on the trees.
Sweat was dripping from Baxi's forehead, and she fanned Lin Jue from time to time, trying to stand on tiptoes to shield Lin Juan from the too hot light.
There was a layer of sweat on Lin Yu's back, but the next competition was too attractive, how could he be willing to miss it.
He took the fan in Baxi's hand and urged him: "Go down first, let Du Xiuqi and the others prepare some warm water, and then wipe off the sweat of these warriors."
Baxi nodded, looking at Lin Jue's shiny black hair, worried for a while, and said worriedly: "I'll guard here, and when Lord Gu comes out, I'll call you, master."
Lin Yu laughed, "You worry, this is like a wheel battle, there is no time to rest. Five matches in a row, the winner is almost this year's champion."
Baxi took out a clean cotton handkerchief and handed it to Lin Xie, and asked, "Wouldn't it be exhausting to fight with wheels?"
At this time, the venue was still being set up. Lin Yu looked forward and crossed the wall of the martial arts hall. There was a lot of people outside the door: "Not all, 30 years ago, there was a champion who was invincible. No one can withstand the sharpness of a catty heavy sword."
Ba Xi was stunned, "It's amazing, Mr. Gu might be very powerful too! To defeat other people in twos and threes, master, it's better for you to show less."
"He's not that good." He's still young.From Lin Yu's point of view, Gu Jiayi has a maturity beyond that of his peers, but his actual age is always there, and his temperament will inevitably jump out. Sometimes he is dull, but he is even more simple and cute.
The lovely Gu Jiayi entered the martial arts arena after a rest, bearing the sweat brewing at noon.A weapon rack was placed next to the six wooden platforms, and the bright cold light shone dangerously under the extremely enthusiastic sunlight.
Weapon fighting is just a two-two duel, but it is more dangerous than the previous melee, because the damage of fists is always limited, and you can't pick too hard on the stage, otherwise there will be black spots on the subsequent records, which will affect to the future official career.Let me ask you, an upright person or an insidious villain, which one will people in this world like?
What's more, in a group known for being upright like warriors, an image of integrity is still supported and respected virtually.It's not that Gu Jiayi didn't fail to guess Tian Wei's intentions during the fight, otherwise he wouldn't have turned around so fast and fought back so swiftly; it's just that he had guessed earlier that Tian Wei would find trouble in the weapon fight and be ruthless. Instead of attacking from behind in a melee.Not a foul, but not that good.
The opponent turned around in front of the weapon rack, and asked Gu Jiayi very politely: "What weapon do you use well? Do you want to use the same one?"
This person was not in the same wooden platform as Gu Jiayi before, and neither of them knew each other's level. He thought that if Gu Jiayi could be inspired to use
