Bright moon out of Tianshan

General Yang Baozhen who was standing by the stage snorted and said, "Who is Xiao Jian's recommender?"

Ding Yun said: "Xiao Jian was recommended by the lower officials. Why, what questions does General Yang have?"

Yang Baozhen continued to sneer, and said after a while: "It's nothing, let's see."

But Zhang Jingyan yelled softly on the stage, and was forced off stage by Xiao Jian with a knife, and the winner was decided.

In the following competitions, Xiao Jian successfully passed the test with the knife in his hand. He was invincible all the way, and finally reached the last competition, where he met Yunrui's protégé Han Lin.Han Lin was born in a poor family, but he worked hard since he was a child. His literary skills and military strategies have long been famous in the capital, and he was taken into the house by Yun Rui as a student.He ranked above Xiao Jian in the essay test, but it was just a mistake, only Gao Huai and Yun Rui knew the inside story.

Han Lin looks handsome, but his complexion is not very good.Holding the saber in hand, Xiao Jian cupped his fists and saluted him, smiling slightly.Han Lin reluctantly returned a salute and started the competition.

Han Lin used a long halberd, following the path of the Changshan School in Hebei Province. The momentum was calm and heavy, dignified and concise, and every move and every move caused a lot of noise.Xiao Jian's movement is quick and nimble, his sword moves lightly, and he moves horizontally and vertically.

After more than a hundred moves in this way, everyone was enjoying watching, but they saw Han Lin's long halberd sweeping across, Xiao Jian dodged around behind him, and slashed back with the knife, Han Lin raised the long halberd to block, where the blades intersected, Han Lin's His body trembled, and then he staggered, as if his internal strength was no match for Xiao Jian.Xiao Jian reacted very quickly, and immediately seized the opportunity. The long knife swept across, 36 times in a row. The long halberd in his hand was thrown away by him, and fell far down the stage.

Han Lin was stunned, and suddenly a wry smile slowly appeared on his face, and he sighed: "I have lost."

Xiao Jian was a little stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, and said after a while: "Accept."

Then Wei Young led the girls into a burst of applause and applause.Following the clamor of the rest of the crowd, the entire campus was extremely lively in an instant.

Yang Baozhen shook his head with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were full of contempt.

Ding Yun looked into his eyes from afar and said, "General Yang, is there any problem?"

Yang Baozhen said: "How can there be problems with the people recommended by Ding Shangshu?"

Ding Yun heard something was wrong, his old face blushed suddenly, and said: "General Yang, I don't understand what you mean, so you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Yun Rui is a civil servant, and he didn't know what to say, so he said, "General Yang, if you have something to say, you need to say it as soon as possible. Now the top three are certain, and Xiao Jian will be the number one scholar. When the imperial decree arrives, who will be added to the rank?" It's useless to say anything."

Yang Baozhen said: "Really? Sure enough, after this kind of second minister, there are quite a lot of tricks! It's too easy for this champion. Don't you see it? Or is it because I am suspicious of this general? Zhang Jingyan, Han Lin has the intention of giving in. Especially Han Lin."

Everyone was startled, and after a while, the eldest prince Gao Hong said: "Third son, you are very powerful in martial arts, you are sharp with your sword, and you kill people without blinking an eye. My brother admires you very much, and you should also say something fair." He leaned into his ear and sneered softly. Said: "If you want to be selfish, Brother Huang will help you, just lend me your little lover for one night."

Gao Huai's ears would be closed when it was time to close, and he didn't seem to hear his sarcasm, but kept silent.

At this time, Xiao Jian and Han Lin dared not come down from the stage, waiting for Yang Baozhen to announce the result of the competition, but the examiners here were muttering endlessly.Yun Rui said: "General Yang said that the two of them were willing to give in, but my eyesight is poor, but I didn't see it. But how can I prove this?"

Yang Baozhen said: "This matter can only be understood but cannot be explained in words. If the three of them refuse to admit it to death, no one can do anything."

Yun Rui said: "So, if we don't have evidence, we can just let it go? Somebody, bring these three people here and ask them clearly." The soldiers around promised, and then they went down to lead them.

Gao Huai suddenly interjected: "Prime Minister, what General Yang said is very reasonable. If the three of them refused to admit it, it would be useless to ask. However, there are indeed problems in these two competitions. The number one scholar definitely cannot give Xiao advice! Besides, the three of them are both civil and military, and they are eager to join the army, so we must be cautious. How about leaving this matter to Xiao Wang?"

Yun Rui looked at him sideways and said, "Okay, let's see how the prince will deal with it."

Gao Huai stood up, without making any gestures, suddenly his figure moved, and he swept from the arbor on one side to the stage on the other side like a leisurely stroll.Approaching slowly, he looked at Han Lin carefully, and saw that although he had a good appearance, his clothes were dull and simple, and there was a hint of arrogance at the corners of his brows and eyes, as well as a look of helplessness and fatigue.Gao Huai looked at him, but vaguely saw himself when he was young.When the two saw him approaching, they hurriedly bowed and said: "I have seen the Third Highness."

Gao Huai smiled at Han Lin, and said, "Han Lin, you go down first, Xiao Jian and I have something to say." Han Lin glanced at him quietly, agreed, and stepped off the stage.

Gao Huai walked a little closer to Xiao Jian, and said, "Xiao Jian, do you think today's test is easier?"

Xiao Jian didn't know what he meant, so he didn't dare to answer casually, so he shook his head.

Gao Huai said: "Isn't it easy? It should be the easiest for your martial arts champion in the Eastern Qi Dynasty."

Xiao Jian stared at him with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Gao Huai said: "Xiao Jian, you want to join the army and protect your family and country. This ambition is very good and deserves to be rewarded. But it's not good to cheat in the competition. With so many people watching, someone will always see it." He said Unlocking his internal strength, the sound gathered into a line, except for Xiao Jian who was very close to him, the people in the audience couldn't hear it.

Xiao Jian's expression slowly changed, his long eyebrows furrowed, and he argued, "I didn't! You said I cheated, what evidence do you have?"

Gao Huai said: "I have no evidence. You two are consensual and cooperate with each other tacitly, how can I grasp the evidence? But Zhang Jingyan and Han Lin want to give you, but it is also true. Xiao Jian, the second minister will not be ashamed afterward, but the one who is ashamed is Yingying Gougou , Willing to fall!"

Xiao Jian was furious when he heard the following words from the second official, bit his lower lip pale white, his black and smart eyes were full of anger, he gritted his teeth after a while and said: "Are you a bully? You have no proof, but Come here to point fingers! I have studied and practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I am diligent. Who is the child who plays with me who is not a cockfighting dog? Who has put in so much effort like me? You slander me like this!"

Gao Huai said: "I also believe what you said to a certain extent, but the fraud is also true. Xiao Jian, in fact, you don't need them to give in. Even if they don't give in, they may not be your opponent. You are clever but you were mistaken by your cleverness. Do you know what kind of punishment Chun Wei will suffer for cheating? It will be sent to the prison."

Xiao Jian said angrily: "I didn't cheat! If you want to put me in the prison, you can beat me. Anyway, none of your Gao family is reasonable! But don't use this reason to insult me!"

Seeing that he refused to admit it to death, Gao Huai thought to himself: "Could it be that he really doesn't know? Or did I miss it? No, I shouldn't be wrong." Thinking back and forth in his heart, he said: "Seeing that you are so unconvinced, it must be true. I think my martial arts are good. How about this, for the sake of your elder brother, I will give you a chance to make amends. You can be selected to join the army, but the champion of martial arts will definitely not be given to you! Listen carefully, pick up your Dao, come and fight with me, and let me see how capable you are! If you complete [-] moves, you will be a fifth-rank cavalry captain; if you complete [-] moves, you will be a sixth-rank Xiaoqi captain. One hundred moves, then you can only be a flying cavalry captain from the sixth rank. If you are not satisfied with one hundred moves, you can be an ordinary soldier and practice hard in the army, it’s not a bad idea.”

The last few words he said were sound-transmission-in-secret skills, and everyone heard them very clearly. Yun Rui and the others knew the clue, and praised Gao Huai for his ingenuity in handling things, but he was also straightforward and without leaving any traces.The people around the big school field were all confused, looking at these two people for no reason.

Xiao Jian was silent. He had just confronted Han Rin, and he felt that something was wrong. Han Rin seemed to have not tried his best, and the last stagger was even more inexplicable.But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out what happened, so he thought it was Han Lin's negligence.Hearing Gao Huai's words, he was also puzzled.But since then, seeing that Gao Huai is pressing hard, but he can't lose in front of the crowd, he immediately said: "Okay, just follow what Your Highness said!"

Gao Huai drew his sword out of its sheath. He was dressed in light white brocade clothes, dignified and elegant. The long sword in his hand was bright and dazzling. He slowly lifted it up and pointed at Xiao Jian, saying, "Please!"

Xiao Jian was not polite to him either, he slashed out with his saber, and he was the first to strike. Gao Huai raised his sword to meet him, and instantly fought with him.His sword was fierce and surging, a gorgeous sword light was like thunder and lightning, criss-crossing the stage, he was handsome and upright, and he swung it freely, Xiao Jian was indeed not his opponent, he managed to make more than 100 moves, and he was already struggling.Gao Huai saw that his head was covered with sweat, but he was still struggling to support himself, so he said, "This is Captain Flying Cavalry, do you admit defeat?"

Xiao Jian said: "No! Don't admit defeat!" Gao Huai slashed with his sword. .When swords and swords intersect, there is a series of dragons chant, as if Kunshan jade is broken and phoenix calls, and hibiscus weeps, dew and fragrant orchid laughs.Xiao Jian's internal strength was insufficient, he staggered, but he was extremely stubborn, he gritted his teeth and refused to give up half a step.After barely sustaining to two hundred moves like this, Gao Huai calmly said: "Lieutenant Xiaoqi has arrived."

In the past, Xiao Jian had no more than fifty or sixty moves under his command.It was still watching Xiao Xiong and Gao Huai fight at Liting Bieye a few days ago. After he came back, he pondered carefully and practiced many times to survive until now. It is really not easy.Hearing Gao Huai said that he had completed two hundred moves, he was secretly happy, but it was because his kung fu had improved a lot.Suddenly Gao Huai's sword light hit his head and face, and he couldn't dodge it, so he had to roll on the ground, barely avoiding it, then turned over, and slashed horizontally with his long knife, barely blocking the raging attack.

Xiao Jian struggled to hold on, but it became more and more difficult. Under his powerful offensive, his moves were stiff and difficult.As a result, in the eighth move of 260, one couldn't cope with it in time, and was stabbed in the wrist by Gao Huai's sword, and immediately dripped with blood, the knife in his hand flew out.Gao Huai's sword swept the boat along the current, Xiao Jian dodged to dodge, fell heavily with the sword wind, fell to the corner of the stage, and then his neck felt cold, Gao Huai's sword rested on his neck.

Gao Huai looked at him sideways, and said, "Xiao Jian, he's still a captain of cavalry before [-] moves."
