Today is also the day I was attacked by the little lord

Chapter 26 Lurking

"Bet? This isn't like your usual style," Duan Yunyang smiled, stroking his chin, "Could it be... we Ah Xun are thinking of some novel ideas?"

Su Xun smiled, and slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand:

"Your attack was brave just now. Although you were reckless, you are remarkable in going straight to the tiger's den. Since the place where I failed in the mission was the Liang Kingdom's Palace, and Xuanxiao Pavilion may have colluded with the royal family, then we will You might as well take advantage of the opportunity of the autumn test to enter the palace and find out."

Duan Yunyang raised his eyebrows in astonishment, and didn't react for a while: "Autumn exam? Didn't Liang Guo hold an imperial examination to select scholars this spring? Besides, I'm a foreigner after all, and I can communicate on a daily basis... If It is a bit difficult to enter the elegant hall..."

It is true that he has been in the Central Plains for a long time, but his origin is still the culture of the Western Regions. Although there is no hindrance to living here, it is inevitable that he will have some headaches about dancing and writing.

"You don't know about that," Su Xun smiled and shook his head, "It's true that Liang Guochun's test focuses on writing and calligraphy, while the autumn test focuses on martial arts. The first test includes martial arts and fighting, each of which is round-based. In the knockout round, if both sides are within the top [-], they can enter the palace examination stage."

"The palace examination is divided into two rounds. In the first round, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will test and screen one by one, and finally 20 people will enter the next round. The second round is rumored to be tested by the emperor himself. At that time, we If you have the chance to see the holy face, you may be able to tell right from wrong."

Duan Yunyang only felt a bright light in his eyes, and immediately smiled happily: "Good idea! It will not be easy to be noticed by entering the palace during the autumn test. If necessary, you can hide in it and act according to circumstances; at the same time, you don't need to rely on Xuanxiao Pavilion Power, using your own power, it is more than enough."

Su Xun nodded with a smile, unfolded the scroll under the palm of his hand, and saw that the contents of the scroll were divided into upper and lower parts.On it is a map of the entire territory of Liang State, and below it is a detailed arrangement of the autumn test schedule.

"The scale of the autumn exam is huge. Over the years, there are often more than a few thousand candidates. Therefore, although the requirement of being in the top [-] is not a natural barrier, it is extremely difficult. In addition, you and I are sensitive, so we must be more careful."

"That's natural."

An evil smile climbed onto Duan Yunyang's cheeks, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a sly and dangerous expression.

"Since those people are ruthless, if I don't take the opportunity to give a big gift, how can I feel at ease."

In the golden autumn of October, it was the time when the cool breeze was blowing and the sky was clear and the air was clear. However, the atmosphere in Langjing City was very warm, and it was not disturbed by the rustling autumn atmosphere at all.

The massive autumn exam started on October [-]th, and candidates from all over the country arrived in Langjing city before the tenth day of October.But it was the early morning of the fifteenth day, and the inspection team lined up from the north of the city to the southeast of the city.

Seeing that the supply of inspection entrances was far short of demand, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs temporarily dispatched personnel to activate several registration locations, which barely dispersed the flow of people.

Candidates for the martial arts test are basically Kong Wu's powerful generation. How can ordinary people resist the momentum of rushing left and right to line up?Somewhere in the line, a peddler pushed a fruit cart out of the warehouse, and a group of candidates rushed towards him, preparing to seize the opportunity at the newly opened queuing place nearby.

They couldn't care less to dodge it. They saw the peddler and his car being knocked over and over, and the stacks of melons and fruits were crumbling, but they stretched out their hands at the right time to stabilize the car:

"There are a lot of people during the autumn exam, so you should be more careful."

The voice was gentle and hoarse, which was very easy to give people a good impression. The peddler followed the voice and looked up, and what caught his eyes was an ordinary face.

I saw that this person was dressed in short brown clothes, with a strong physique, and he looked like an iron-blooded man, but his eyes were as quiet as an ancient well, with a gentle color like sapphire.

"Excuse me, may I ask if the new registration office in the south of the city goes straight ahead?"

The peddler was still in a daze, but nodded numbly, and the man turned and left with a smile.Cross the street ahead and soon arrive at the newly established check-in point.

Due to the tight schedule, the layout of the registration office was very simple. Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs sat panting in front of a table and hurriedly took over the registration form that the candidates had filled out in advance. let go.

At this time, there were not many people in the line, and the man Shi Shiran stood at the end of the line. Soon, a group of candidates came from the side and stood behind him.

Everyone stood there in a daze and was extremely bored, so they simply put aside the suspicion of their family status and started chatting with the people around them in a familiar way.The man was no exception, soon someone patted him on the shoulder and said politely: "Excuse me, the villain's name is Xu Pingzhi, he is originally from Lingnan, I don't know your surname?"

"Miangui's surname is Yang, and the single name has the word Su. I live in Langjing on weekdays, and I have met Mr. Xu." The man turned around, smiled and cupped his hands.

Xu Pingzhi saw that although Yang Su's appearance was ordinary, his demeanor was very calm and calm, and there was a trace of familiarity for no reason, his heart was secretly awe-inspiring, and his face remained calm:

"It turned out to be Brother Yang, sorry for your disrespect. It's also very interesting to say. Although I haven't met Brother Yang before, I feel a sense of familiarity. The fate between people is really very mysterious!"

Yang Suqing glanced at him Lingling, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her tone was quite meaningful:

"In this way...it's a coincidence, isn't Mr. Xu surrounded by someone who looks similar to me?"

"That...it's true, it's just that Brother Yang has an extraordinary bearing, which reminds me of an old friend from my hometown," Xu Pingzhi said with a sneer, "Meeting is fate, so I wish Brother Yang victory in the martial arts and invincibility! "

"With Mr. Xu's auspicious words, I hope you and I don't become rivals in the first test."

Nodding politely and distantly, Yang Su took a step forward and remained silent.

Xu Pingzhi originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that the other party had no intention of speaking further, he could only silently step aside and continue chatting with others.

After the examination of the candidates is completed, the officials will place the bamboo sticks with their names on them in the bamboo tube, and randomly select a match.

Yang Su leaned against the wall with arms folded and waited. As expected, a small official came to summon him soon, saying that he was in the third round of Group A and needed to make preparations outside the court in advance.

This year's autumn test is very grand. There are ten test centers in the city. Every day, they are divided into five groups, A, B, C, D, and E. There are ten rounds of competition in each group, and it ends when one party admits defeat, loses consciousness, or falls into the ring.

The round-robin competition continued for nine days according to this rule, until the top [-] fighters with good martial arts skills were produced, and then on the tenth day, the assessment of military strategy was carried out.

Although the fighting is a fierce melee combat, considering the safety of the examinees is more important than anything else, the use of open weapons is clearly prohibited on the field, and the things available on the field and the official wooden swords are limited.

When Yang Su came near the ring, the first round of battle had already begun.The two people on the stage watched each other vigilantly, each holding a long wooden sword, in a state of stalemate.

However, the competition time was limited after all, and one person couldn't hold back, and took the lead in launching an assault. The wooden sword slashed forward with sharpness, and the opponent seemed to have expected this, and moved forward as the tip of the sword approached. Dodged from the edge, and then slashed behind the comer with a backhand sword, causing him to let out a scream!

This blow changed the situation, and all the onlookers clapped their hands and applauded. Seeing that the situation was favorable, the examinee simply took advantage of the victory and pursued him.

The opponent couldn't dodge in time, and was slapped on the back of his heart by his palm, and staggered forward several steps in succession, almost falling off the ring.

Having suffered such a big loss at the beginning, how could he bear it anymore, he immediately supported the soft rope by the side of the stage with his backhand, and fought back with all his strength.

But the most taboo of martial arts is impetuosity, and such violent attacks are extremely exhausting.The examinee stood firm in the face of the opponent's turbulent sword shadow, and when the opponent's strength was exhausted, he suddenly raised his hand, and the blade of the wooden sword precisely hit the opponent's side neck.

The situation has become clear so far, and the referee officials immediately blew the horn to end, stepped onto the ring and raised the winner's right palm high: "One round of Group A, the winner, Lu Yan, will have the opportunity to enter the next round!"

That Lu Yan's face was immature, obviously he was still a teenager, he was at a loss for a while facing the cheers of the crowd, he could only smile shyly and blushed.

The first round of competition ended, and the second round began immediately after a stick of incense.

This time, they were fighting against two burly men, and they refused to give in at the beginning, fighting each other with gasping fists and kicks.Although the two were strong in strength, their skills were pitiful. After a long period of brute force competition, one side managed to force the other out of the ring and barely won the victory.

When the officials announced the results of the second group of competitions, Yang Su came to the weapon platform to make selections.

There are wooden weapons in front of him.His gaze flicked over several swords, and finally stopped on a long sword inserted obliquely on the left.

There was nostalgia and helplessness in his eyes. He took out the wooden sword and looked it over carefully. Only then did he realize that the sword body was made of hollow wood, which was more than light but not enough to kill. Ordinary people with martial arts might disdain this, but to him……

But it is inexplicably appropriate.

Well, it's okay to regard it as a nostalgia for the past.

Holding the sword in hand, he turned and walked onto the ring.The opponent held a pair of daggers at the same time, and walked towards him slowly. Unlike the previous few who were strong, this person looked particularly yellow and thin, with a slightly stooped figure, but his eyes were particularly sinister, and although his steps were slow, he still couldn't see clearly.

Yang Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was secretly awe-inspiring. This person condensed his energy in his lower body, and the soles of his feet were full of true energy. He should be good at speed.There is no real power in my body, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with it if I confront it head-on, but...

If you act like this, there may be a turning point.

With a little peace of mind, he smiled casually, crossed his sword in front of him, and said lightly:

"I'm Yang Su, please advise."

The author has something to say: Everyone can guess who the new Yang Su is~
