Seeing his cousin Ni Hu dancing the sword, Ni Er did not interrupt immediately and stood aside with Jia Yun to watch. During the process, Ni Er couldn't help but cheer.
After a while, Ni Hu stopped and handed the sword in his hand to the soldier.
The broadsword used in the Qing Dynasty martial arts examinations was a long sword, similar to Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
However, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword only weighed 82 jins, while the broadswords in the Qing Dynasty's martial arts examinations were divided into three types: 80 jins, 100 jins, and 120 jins.
During the exam, martial arts students are required to "must move the sword from left to right over the top", "must dance with the front and back breasts", and not let the sword fall to the ground.
The sword that Ni Hu currently has is the 100-pound long-stemmed sword used in martial arts.
Such a heavy sword could be danced easily in Ni Hu's hands, but when Ni Hu handed the sword to his soldiers, two soldiers were required to lift it. Even so, both soldiers felt it was difficult.
At this time, Ni Er hurriedly brought Jia Yun forward. Ni Er first greeted Ni Hu with a respectful tone and gesture, and then introduced Jia Yun: "Cousin, this is the brother Yun I told you yesterday.
"
Jia Yun hurriedly paid her respects: "Jia Yun has met Ni Shoubei!"
Ni Hu said "Hmm", looked at Jia Yun, and then questioned Ni Er: "Second brother, does he really have the power you said?"
Ni Hu was willing to meet Jia Yun this time, not only because of Ni Er's face and chivalrous spirit, but also because he was curious about Jia Yun's magical power and memory.
Now he saw that Jia Yun was not only very young, not very strong, but also handsome in appearance. She didn't look like a guy who could take the martial arts exam.
You know, almost all the military attaches who pass the military examination are strong and even rough men.
Ni Er said: "Cousin, although my second brother is a fool, when have I ever tricked you? If you don't believe it, try Brother Yun and you will know the truth."
"That's fine." Ni Hu nodded, turned to the soldiers and said, "Come here, bring me my broadsword."
Immediately, two soldiers carried the long sword over.
Ni Hu said to Jia Yun: "My sword is a hundred-jin sword used in martial arts. I don't expect you to be able to dance with it at such a young age. If you really have the power to lift it alone, you will be great."
Already."
"Ni Shou Bei has an order, how dare I disobey him?"
Jia Yun responded with a smile, then walked to the long sword, stretched out her hands to hold it, then smiled at the two soldiers holding the sword and said, "You two can let go."
The two soldiers were worried and looked at Ni Hu at the same time. Ni Hu took a step forward and nodded immediately. If Jia Yun couldn't bear the sword, Ni Hu would take action in time to avoid hurting Jia Yun.
Not to mention Ni Hu's distrust, Ni Er felt nervous at this time.
Ni Er had only seen Jia Yun fight bravely before, but had never seen Jia Yun show her power in other ways. Even though he believed that Jia Yun had not lied to him, he felt nervous now.
Although Ni Hu has always taken care of Ni Er and has a good relationship with Ni Er, they are just cousins after all, and Ni Hu's identity is much more noble than Ni Er. Ni Er has also asked Ni Hu for help several times...
Ni Er knew that if Jia Yun did not perform well today, Ni Hu might be displeased with him, and might even alienate him. Without Ni Hu as his backer, Ni Er's life as a rogue would not be easy.
Already.
"Brother Yun, please don't hurt me."
Ni Er was looking at Jia Yun nervously and thinking in his heart.
However, Ni Er's eyes widened in surprise immediately, even Ni Hu's eyes widened in surprise, and several soldiers present also widened their eyes in surprise...
When the two soldiers let go, the weight of the long sword fell into Jia Yun's small hands. The sword did not fall to the ground and was held firmly by Jia Yun.
Not only that, Jia Yun immediately danced the sword, imitating the way Ni Hu danced the sword just now, either crossing the sword from left to right, or dancing with the front and back breasts. Although the movements were not standard, they were still stylish.
Not to mention that, Jia Yun immediately put down her left hand and held the long sword above her head with only her right hand. This continued for a while before placing the sword on the ground.
It's not that Jia Yun is pretending to be pretentious, but that he knows that this opportunity to meet Ni Hu is hard-won, and he needs to show himself well in front of Ni Hu to be more likely to be appreciated by Ni Hu.
During this process, Ni Hu, Ni Er, and several soldiers were in a state of surprise and speechless.
It wasn't until Jia Yun put down the sword that Ni Hu realized what he was doing and praised him: "What a brave little brother, it's amazing!"
Ni Er and several soldiers also praised him one after another.
Immediately, Ni Hu tried Jia Yun's memory again.
The method of the exam was the same as when Jia Yun took the exam in front of Jia Zheng. Jia Yun asked Ni Hu to pick a book and select hundreds of words from the book. As long as the difficulty was not too high, he could recite it by silently reading it three times.
Ni Hu first asked Jia Yun if he had read "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", and "Sima Fa". Jia Yun answered truthfully that he had read it. Ni Hu then asked Jia Yun if he had read "Three Strategies", and Jia Yun replied no, so Ni Hu asked Jia Yun if he had read "Three Strategies".
Hu then went to the study and took out a copy of "Three Strategies".
"Three Strategies" is one of the "Seven Books of Martial Arts", also known as "Three Strategies of Huang Shigong". It is said that the author was Huang Shigong, a hermit in the early Han Dynasty.
"Three Strategies" is divided into three parts: upper strategy, middle strategy, and lower strategy, with a total of more than 3,800 words. This is a military book that combines certain thoughts of various schools of thought and specializes in strategy, especially focusing on political strategy.
The above explains the principles of governing the country and using troops.
Even though Ni Hu is a strong and rugged martial artist, he also has a lot of knowledge in military science. He has studied "Sun Tzu", "Wu Zi", and "Sima Fa" very deeply, otherwise he would not have passed the second-level martial arts examination in the first place.
scholar.
Moreover, he also studied the other four books in the "Seven Books of Martial Arts", including "Six Tao", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liao Zi", and "Li Weigong Questions and Answers".
Now Ni Hu selected hundreds of words from "Three Strategies" and asked Jia Yun to recite them. No need to elaborate. Jia Yun read them three times and immediately recited them word for word. Ni Hu, Ni Er and several relatives
The soldiers were all surprised.
Jia Yun felt strange, thinking that he had been "interviewed" once in front of Bu Wuniang before, then once in front of Jia Zheng, and today he had a third "interview" in front of Ni Hu.
He felt that this experience was indeed like an "interview" in his previous life.
In his previous life, he was a science and engineering student at a key university and was a top student. He had no worries about finding a job after graduation. He was targeted by the military-industrial complex even before he graduated from university.
So now this kind of interview again and again makes Jia Yun feel novel. He is not bored by it, but enjoys it.
Because, when a dream is not out of reach but not difficult to achieve, dreamers can easily be happy while pursuing their dreams.
When Jia Yun passed the "interview", Ni Hu said to him: "My little brother is really an extraordinary person. If you take the martial arts exam, you will surely pass the high school. I will introduce you to Jing's Martial Arts School. Are you willing?"
