The general and I form a pair

Although Li Su was released from confinement, Emperor Chengkang did not restore his crown prince right away.Therefore, during this period of time, he was very leisurely.

"It's been a long time since I came to the General's Mansion, I never thought that it's still the same here."

On the martial arts arena, Ji Fei tried to provoke Gu Ting again, and Li Mu watched the excitement from the sidelines, not thinking it was a big deal, just fanning the flames.

Li Su, Gu Yan and Ah Qing were chatting in the small gazebo to the east of the Martial Arts Field.

If it was in the past, Ah Qing would definitely not be able to sit still, and would go to the court to give some advice.His nimble figure, superb martial arts, and proficiency in weapons always make a few little ones admire him.

Li Mu and Ji Fei are simply Xue Qing's hardcore fans.Whenever someone dares to say something bad about Xue Qing, these two must have run out of words, and they will scold that person to no avail.

But at this time, seeing Ah Qing's slightly pale face, Li Su felt guilt and pity in his heart.Don't talk about martial arts right now, I'm afraid he won't even be able to lift a gun.

They should have galloped on the battlefield, wanton and happy, should have been the most dazzling generals in Daliang.

"Officer Yang is still in Jifu?" Li Su asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"How credible do you think what he said?"

Gu Yan pondered for a moment: "Five points. Is Your Highness going to deal with the second prince? The second prince is not as easy to deal with as the sixth prince. Shandong, Zhou family, Ming family. If you want to move the second prince, you must do so with absolute certainty, at least , judging from the current court situation, it is not suitable."

"That's right, even the emperor is afraid of the Zhou family."

"Also, does Your Highness really think that the Sixth Prince pleaded guilty, and the forces behind it will be uprooted? Has Your Highness ever thought that maybe the Sixth Prince, like Princess Heyang, is being used without knowing it?"

"In other words, in fact, we are all on the same chessboard, and we don't know when it will be our turn. What we have to do now is to jump out of the chessboard. What are your plans, Your Highness?"

"Respond to all changes with the same. The matter is far from over."

Gu Yan nodded: "Indeed."

"Brother Ah Qing, have you seen that I can take more than a dozen moves from Gu Ting." Ji Fei ran over to show his hospitality while wiping off his sweat: "I am like this, so I can enter the Martial Arts Hall."

Ah Qing smiled and said: "You defeated Su Da in the martial arts competition in the Shangqing Garden, but the Holy Majesty said that he would reward you. Even if you fail the exam, Shangwutang will reserve a seat for you."

Ji Fei raised his head: "That's not okay, everyone is tested on the basis of ability, how can I be special, they always look down on me, let them see this time, I, Ji Fei, also have real ability!"

"Your Highness, you are taking the exam yourself, right?"

If Li Muwen didn't become a martial artist, he wanted to ask for a place with Emperor Cheng Kang. If he was an imposing prince, if he was beaten to the ground with a few tricks, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.But it's fine for Ji Fei to brag, why bring him along!

Li Mu hesitated for a long time with a red face.

Li Su was a little annoyed: "Old Qi, after all these years, why are you still so underdeveloped? There are still a few days before the recruitment of Shangwutang. You should practice martial arts for me in these few days. Don't just know how to play cats and dogs all day long. Even Afei You know how to make progress, look at you again. It really disappoints me."

Li Mu lowered his head and said, "Understand Fifth Brother."

In the end, he gave Ji Fei a hard look. Ji Fei was immersed in the dream of being invincible, and he didn't pay attention at all. He looked smug, and Li Mu was so angry.

After the sixth prince was imprisoned, he had been in a slump for many days, and only when he was preparing for the entrance examination in the Martial Arts Hall did he get a little angry.

This Martial Arts Examination is divided into two subjects, Civil and Military.Of course, it is not as rigorous as the imperial examination. This article tests the art of war, weapons, and strategy.The military test is based on the order of drawing lots, and the competition is performed in groups.The entire exam is ranked according to the total scores of both civil and military subjects, and only the top [-] are recruited.

Since it was the first time Shangwutang was opened, and Gu Yan and Xue Qing co-chaired the exam, these two mythical figures who went to the capital at that time attracted a lot of attention. It is an honor to enter the Martial Arts Hall.

Suddenly, there was a wave of eagerness to learn in Beijing, and the momentum was so strong that it even overwhelmed the ad hoc Enke.

Ah Qing and Gu Yan were facing a stack of test papers, and were very busy in the armory of the general's mansion.

"Look, whose young master is this? There are sixteen articles in the Military Code, and I chose the most well-known one to test the school, but what are you talking about? Don't say it right."

"And this one, I can't even recognize the weapons."

"Oh, this, this, this person has no strategy at all. Even if he goes to the battlefield, he will give the enemy a head!"

"Hey!"

Ah Qing was nagging and judging the papers, with a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

Gu Yan was much calmer: "If they are good at everything, then what else does Shang Wu Tang do?"

Ah Qing snorted: "If these little bastards fall into my hands, it's up to me to deal with them. Everyone is used to being pampered, so don't be scolded and cry for your mother."

Gu Yan shook his head and smiled.

"This article is not bad. I have a deep understanding of the military code, and I also have my own ideas and unique insights."

Ah Qing took the test paper, the paper was neat and tidy, the writing was coherent, and the choice of words and sentences, regardless of whether it was good or bad, only this rigorous logic made it seem that this person is quite mature and prudent, and he is a good seed.

Ah Qing wrote down this article, feeling somewhat expectant and curious about this candidate.

The venue for the martial arts test is still set at Shangqing Garden.

Although this time is only a preliminary experiment of Shangwutang, it is not considered a formal martial arts.But the news is still widely known, and the number of applicants is also quite large.

Since the applicants range from officials' sons to ordinary people, and people from all walks of life, their starting points are different, and it is difficult to maintain absolute fairness in the process of the competition.

Therefore, Ah Qing and Gu Yan discussed it, and the [-] places to be recruited will be distributed equally among people of each status for the time being.

As for some problems that occurred on the way, the two also kept them in mind, hoping to avoid them in the future formal martial arts.

After the whole exam, I gained a lot.After all, heroes come out of teenagers, and with these lively teenagers, Daliang has a bright future.And the one who caught the eyes of the two of them was not Ji Fei and Li Mu who had been fighting for many days, nor those highly skilled Jianghu people, but Ming Yu, who was then the deputy general of the Wuwei Army.

Due to their respective positions, Ming Yu is not very familiar with them.Even because of the rise of the Ming family's army, the former officials of the Eastern Palace despised the Ming family even more.Especially Ji Fei.

But in the martial arts test, Ming Yu was obviously different from the candidates who participated in the test. The Ming family was attached to the second prince, and Ming Yi succeeded Gu Donghai a few years ago to guard the northern border.The current momentum of the Ming army, it has to be said, is the number one army in the capital.

And Ming Yu's performance is calm and introverted, every move is just right, neither arrogant nor rash, neither fast nor slow, it is pleasing to the eye.

In the final ranking, Ming Yu deserved to be No.1.Only now did Ah Qing realize that the test paper that made him and Gu Yan's eyes shine at that time was also written by Ming Yu, which deepened Ah Qing's impression of Ming Yu.

The results of this time will naturally be submitted to Emperor Chengkang for inspection. Emperor Chengkang is also satisfied with these 30 people. Only the seventh prince Li Mu, in the group of official children, was barely shortlisted with the lowest score of No.1. Conti was quite surprised.

He glanced at Gu Yan, then at Ah Qing, and coughed: "Elder Qi can also pass the exam? You two won't deliberately let him go just because he is my son."

Ah Qing thought that Emperor Cheng Kang was dissatisfied with Li Mu's performance, but he was surprised by Li Mu's strength.

"Your Majesty was joking, the test papers are full of names, and the martial arts test is in full view, so how can we allow us to cheat?" Gu Yan laughed.

"That's right, His Highness the Seventh Highness has been working hard these days. If His Highness the Seventh Highness hears His Majesty say that, wouldn't it be sad. Our Seventh Highness is also a person who wants to save face." Ah Qing said.

Cheng Kangdi thought so deeply, and his face showed color.

"When Ah Qing came back, even this kid knew he was making progress. Hey, this kid from the Ji family is not bad, he actually got No.2."

"A Fei has always worked hard. If he dares to relax, Ji Kang will have to carry him back to Ji's mansion even if he can chase him five blocks away."

When they were young, Ji Fei and Li Mu were the most capable sons-in-law in Shangjing. Ji Kang's parents died young, so how can such a younger brother be neglected.Therefore, a story of Ji Kang chasing his younger brother will be staged every day in Shangjing.No matter where Ji Fei hides, Ji Kang can find him out and drive him back to his mansion to study and shoot arrows.

"The Ji family's archery skills are flawless. It's a pity that Ji Fei doesn't have Ji Kang's talent, so his archery skills can only be considered average." Gu Yan couldn't help feeling emotional.

"That's true. I claim to be proficient in all eighteen weapons, but in terms of bow and arrow, I still have to admit that Brother Ji is really No. 1." Ah Qing also said.

Seeing their poor acting skills, Emperor Chengkang sneered: "It's alright, alright, don't pretend, I'll watch you grow up, I can't hide your little thoughts from me. Don't you just want to use Ji Kang? Let Rory talk a lot, if you tell me straight, I won't refuse."

Ah Qing's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Emperor Chengkang said: "I am the Son of Heaven. It is hard to chase after a word. Besides, Ji Kang was also punished for what happened back then. Since Ah Qing is willing to use Ji Kang, what else can I say. Later, you two Let me go to Ji's mansion and pass on my oral order to use Ji Kang as the archery instructor of the Martial Arts Hall, what do you think?"

Ah Qing's brows and eyes curved with a smile: "Your Majesty is really wise!"

The Ji Mansion is used to being deserted, and in these years, apart from Li Mu's frequent visits, no one came to visit.Gu Yan and Xue Qing's sudden visit today left Butler Ji at a loss.

"Here, sir, the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master are here, shooting arrows in the backyard, please, please wait a moment..."

"Hey, Uncle Ji, it's okay, we just go straight there. We've been to Ji's mansion many times, so we know the way." Ah Qing smiled.

The Ji Mansion is not too big, and it took a short time to transfer to the backyard.

Ji Kang was dressed in bunts, and stood aside with a solemn expression.Ji Fei drew the bow fully, with a look of pain on his face, the arrow left the string with a whoosh, and Ah Qing followed the arrow...

"Tsk, the shot missed."

Hearing the voice, Ji Kang turned his head abruptly: "You, you..."

"Haha, Ji Shaoyong, we came all the way to your house, not to mention the tea, how can we treat guests like this." Ah Qing laughed.

Looking at Ah Qing's smiling face, Ji Kang was in a daze as if he had passed away.Although he had known for a long time that he was Xue Qing, Ji Kang never dared to meet him.

From the beginning to the end, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Ji Fei threw away his bow and arrow, wiped his sweat with his cuff, stunned Ji Kang who was stunned in place like a thunderbolt, and shouted at the front again: "Ah Fu, serve tea!"

Ji Fei led a few people to the pavilion on the edge of the pond. Ji Kang, who used to be calm in the past, didn't know what to do now. He staggered a few short steps, and even Ji Fei couldn't stand it. up.

"Big brother, before Brother Ah Qing didn't come back, you were talking about it every day, but now that everyone is in front of you, you're still nervous."

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Did Shaoyong always talk about Ah Qing every day?"

No matter how slow Ji Kang was, he still came to his senses.He raised his leg and kicked Ji Fei fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense!"
