The sounds of scolding, scolding, and quarreling mixed with the shouts of calling for friends can be heard everywhere, which shows how much this grand event in Chang'an City attracts the people.
Zhang Gongjin led the imperial army to guard the spectator seats on the high platform in the venue, and no one other than high-ranking members of the court was allowed to approach.
As candidates from all walks of life who were qualified for the martial arts competition entered the venue one after another, Prince Li Zhi led many officials of the imperial court to sit on the high platform surrounded by the imperial army. Qin Wenyuan, Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong, the three examiners, sat at the invigilation seats.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the military drum "Dongdong" standing on the side of the invigilator's seat sounded, and the military general waved the order flag on the stage, signaling the start of the competition.
According to the rules of the competition, the competition implements a knockout system, and you will find your own opponents according to the order of drawing lots. This process will be repeated until the three winners will compete for the top prize in martial arts.
Dozens of martial arts students received the order, and each of them went off to find their opponent according to the drawn lottery number and engage in a wheel battle.
Dozens of warriors looking for battle are all dressed in armor, black iron, gold armor, silver armor, leather armor shining in the sun, guns, knives, halberds, hammers, spears, swords, horse spears and so on.
Each of the eight weapons was in a mighty manner, and the horses of various colors including red, black, and black, neighing uneasily, kicking the ground with their front and rear hooves, unable to bear being restrained by the knights on their backs and unable to leap forward.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts have stopped many disciples from poor families with just this outfit and horses. There are only a few disciples from poor families, and most of them are the children of generals whose families have fallen into decline. The children of ordinary people want to be like this.
It is too difficult to dress up, and it is not easy to learn the kung fu of three melons and two dates. How can you compare with these martial arts students who have a long history of family training? Unless there is some chance, that is another story.
Among the dozens of martial arts students, many of them wore golden crowns with hair tied on their heads and had fair faces. The swarthy ones were really outstanding. When he looked at me, everyone in the room had their eyes wide open with anger, looking at the surroundings calmly, but they didn't seem to have any atmosphere.
Among them, sitting under the white horse, you can see that the tall man with a body of four feet is very eye-catching, but you can see that the guy is wearing black iron armor, a lion-shaped helmet on his head, and holding a pair of four-sided iron hammers.
, the simple and narrow sword box is tied at an angle under the tiger's back. At the mouth of the sword, the hilt is shaped like a dragon's head, which makes people look a little awe-inspiring.
This is the stupidest way to find clues, but sometimes the stupidest method can work wonders.
Before the old man had another secret conversation with the Luo family outside the mansion, Xu Tian returned to his residence to report to the leader, looking for an opportunity to follow Princess An's advice and send Luo Qiben, the youngest son of the Zhe family, into the Wang family's mansion to hide, waiting for the princess to escort him.
Leave Chang'an City and let him enter with all his body.
It's too late to say it, but it's too late now!
On the first day of the martial arts examination in the Tang Dynasty, an assassination of King Chen Laosan of Qi actually occurred on the first day of the competition. The Yamen was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly. For a while, the city of Chang'an was in turmoil, and the atmosphere of crisis was filled with "the storm is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building".
Princess Tong'an heard what the man said, and when she heard that the Luo family was not done with the assassination of Chen Laosan, she fantasized about killing Guo Aibo, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Don't be impatient! Now seven places in Chang'an City are searching for you and others. We will first send Luo Qiben, the master of the Zhe family, out of the city before making any plans. We will make plans after the sergeants sent by the Zhe family army to support him arrive."
While the old pious woman was deep in thought, the prince left the house and reported that the Luo family had not come to visit.
"Your Majesty, Princess Rong! This time, the seventh son of the Zhejia family took the place of the young master and was ordered to leave the capital to take the martial arts examination, so that the young master's plan to assassinate Chen Laosan in secret was successful. Before the young master left safely, everyone wanted to pretend
The merchants who sell horses in Chengsaili live in the city and are looking for opportunities to assassinate Chen Laosan. In the process, you will naturally act secretly, which will definitely attract people's attention. Before the assassination in Chang'an City subsides, it will be you.
When the time comes to take action, I am afraid that I will die together with Guo Aibo, and you will also make that traitor pay the price of death for humiliating the Luo family."
Seven days later, the scouts saw that no one in the mansion had close contact with the people in Xiao Yu's mansion, and they behaved strangely. This phenomenon attracted Guo Aibo's attention, and he increased the surveillance of the place.
When Prince Li Zhi saw that Chen Laosan had been assassinated, he was furious. He ordered the seven gates of Chang'an City to be quickly closed, and ordered Qianniu Guards and Wuhou to strictly inspect the spectators who left the school grounds. Anyone carrying weapons would be handed over to the Yamen for strict scrutiny.
However, outsiders were able to find out the slightest clue that the assassin was taking advantage of such chaotic scenes to hide among the people, and the weapons may have been discarded long ago.
At the sound of the horn, the man gave a small shout, reined up his horse and stood in human form. He immediately charged with a hammer, and he actually charged at another white-faced and silver-armored general in the field who was wielding a red cherry spear.
The hammer wielder wielded a pair of seemingly heavy hammers as if they were arms, pointing to the north, hitting the east and sweeping the west, but he didn't feel hesitant at all. Under the horse's back, he was like an overlord.
Holding Ding raised his two hammers to block the opponent's pistol tip. He was like a monk using his two winds to pierce his ears, trying to smash his opponent's head into pieces. He looked nervous and at ease in the melee. The aura of king and domineering under his face was as straight as Shura's in the world. Outside his eyes, there were
Ben Ni, the proud god of heavenly heroes.
"It's very bad! There is nothing necessary. You can ask someone to report it to me. As long as it is about assassinating the thief Chen Laosan, I can agree to it."
Zhou Cang received the order and sent his bodyguard to send an order to Qin Wenyuan, the chief intelligence officer of the Xu family in Chang'an City.
The person who came here was Xu Tian, who was ordered to go to the Wang family to find Princess Tong'an.
Just when the seven people were killing each other indistinguishably, and Prince Li Zhi and all the court officials were following He Qi in the audience, suddenly a sharp arrow from the audience shot towards Zhe Zong with a roaring sound.
Those two big men really met a good talent and an opponent in chess! They were evenly matched, and each one took advantage of the other.
That's it! Guo Ai was watched by the scouts as soon as he retreated into the Wang family's mansion. Naturally, no one followed him far away when he left the palace, which made the Luo family's "Fourteen Cavalry of Yanyun" emerge from their hiding place in Chang'an City.
Chen Laosan could not bear to suffer this unreasonable disaster for the people, and quickly ordered the imperial troops to form a human wall under the stands to block the rioting and crowded flow of people.
"I am passing on my king's military order, instructing Qin Wenyuan to spread his eyes in the city of Chang'an to find out who wants to go against me. He resorts to such despicable methods and reports as soon as there is no news. I want to see if the people in Chang'an city are open-minded.
thing."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The one who wields the hammer is like a tiger going up the mountain, and the one who wields the spear is like a dragon going out to sea. It is really a battle between dragons and tigers, each giving way to the other.
"Where is Zhou Cang! No one who is suspicious in the field should be let go. Anyone who does not resist will be killed!"
"It's really useful for him to wait! The princess has already done what she promised, but he didn't have the shame to come back, but nothing happened?"
"The martial arts students who win today will draw lots at the invigilator later and compete again the next day. The remaining martial arts students will report to the Ministry of War. If they are willing to join the army, the Ministry of War will consider their results in the martial arts examination and grant them military positions as appropriate."
Chen Laosan's figure launched the "ghost step" technique in the air, and the ghost-like figure quickly struck in the direction of the arrow, while at the same time he shouted in the air.
After finding the assassin, Chen Laosan returned to the stand and ordered the Imperial Guards to protect the prince and leave first. Then he ordered the drums to be beaten and gold to be struck, so that all the candidates could listen to the order behind the steps. When the candidates went to the stand one after another, he gave orders to Zhou Cang.
Xu Tian's words touched Princess Tong'an's heart, and the old godly woman "Jiejie" smiled sinisterly, causing the wrinkles on her face to tremble.
Look at the fair-faced guy who wields the spear again. The spear is obviously trained by a famous master. His moves of stabbing, picking, sweeping, and teasing can be done at different speeds. The speed of the spear is so fast that the tip of the spear trembles and creates layers of shadows. One after another, the spears and flowers went forward to attack the opponent directly. The right eight lanes, the left eight lanes, the lower eight lanes, and the upper eight lanes were all just right to open up the trajectory of the opponent's hammer. The spears immediately stirred up the autumn wind and swept away the fallen leaves. The big man's horseback The body underneath is as soft as the white strips outside the waves, the willows swaying in the breeze, and the indifferent expression on the face is like the reincarnation of Wu Dexingjun in the mortal world.
When that guy was charging, dozens of martial arts students in the field were each catching a pair and fighting each other. They came and went, and the horses galloped, but outside the examination room, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and the yellow sand filled the air.
Everyone heard that the leader's instructions were all in the same words. After a while, the leader spoke again.
The "dinging, clanking" sound of weapons clashing is accompanied by sparks flashing, which is really bad-looking!
At this time, there was already a small chaos in the auditorium, with screams and screams mixed together. The crowd was pushing and shoving, and half of the assassin could be seen outside. Seeing the audience in this small chaos, a stampede would definitely occur. causing casualties.
I thought that such a small grudge would allow the old thing to live in peace all day long, but he thought about his own faults and thought that he could do whatever he wanted with his status as a royal family. He really ignored the people in heaven.
All martial arts students apply what they have learned, so that the point of the spear can produce spear flowers, and the moves are away from the opponent's vital points, so that the light of the knife forms a water curtain to protect the whole body, looking for opportunities to defeat the enemy during the fight, and making the heavy weight of the sword Erratic, stabbing, cutting, and picking are all done in the same way. The domineering force of the spear is actually based on his own courage to move forward, making the horse's tiger angry, smashing the opponent's weapon with sparks, and making the short spear and shield retreat. Speed, to resist the opponent's retreat, but still have to be distracted to make the short spear appear, allowing the opponent to defend is the best defense...
Qin Wenyuan was ordered to thoroughly investigate the assassination of his master in Chang'an City. He mobilized the "Huang Gang" and the "Huwei Gang" to secretly investigate in seven places in Chang'an City. The following scouts secretly monitored the Wang family, the Changsun family, the Wei family and other small aristocratic families that had no enmity with their master, as well as the palaces of imperial nobles located outside Chang'an City.
The lean man, who was called Xu Tian, stood up and saluted before saying something, turning around and leaving the house. He looked around carefully when he left the mansion, and if he noticed anything, he disappeared into the crowd with the flow of people.
Princess Tong'an's words made even Xu Tian wonder why the old godly woman didn't have such a small hatred against Guo Aibo. But I knew that the old thing was the one who must be punished by Jiaju, and I hated Guo Aibo for giving face to the Wang family. , killed the whole family of the Wang family's nephew Wang Gui, and killed Xie Hong, the bodyguard of the young man who followed you, even Cheng Chumo's teasing of your man was recorded in Zhe Zong's body.
"Very bad! He is waiting to send the eldest son of the Zhe family to my princess to hide, and then I will try to send him out of the city. However, the assassination of Zhe Zong, the thief, can be delayed, and it is nothing for him to wait.
Let me tell you the strategy."
All the candidates responded with a bang and followed the instructions.
Princess Tong'an signaled the incoming guests to be led into the hall. When the incoming guests left the room, she said bitterly.
"Boss, considering that Chen Laosan is so incompetent in martial arts, and archers like General Zhejia are also capable of performing martial arts, now that the assassination plan has been exposed, what should you do next?"
The crowds of spectators cheered and cheered one after another, and it was Zeng Duo who finished the competition.
I saw the body of King Chen Laosan of Qi rise up from under the seat like a small peng spreading its wings. Eight sharp arrows shot in the shape of "pin" passed over the soles of his feet. "Duh, duh, duh!" hit the front of the seat.
On the white tiger screen, the arrow tail swings and stops.
Li Jing and Li Xiaogong, who were sitting next to Chen Laosan, seemed to be frightened by the sudden turn of events. How could they remind others to avoid them?
But it was: "It's so beautiful to have a wife outside my dream!"
Despite such close monitoring, Luo Qiben accidentally discovered that Luo Qiben had moved to the Wang family's residence. Just when the eldest son of the Zhe family was about to approach the Wang family's residence, the guards of "Prince Qi's Mansion" were already hidden in the path and suddenly
It was Luo Qiben who launched the attack because he was weak in martial arts. He was unable to defeat Qi Qi with his fists. He also brought with him several members of the "Yanyun Fourteen Cavalry" of the Luo family who escorted me. During the fierce battle between the two sides, several "Qi Qi"
The guards of the "Prince's Mansion" were seriously injured and all were finally arrested. No one was missed.
In the palace of the Wang family in Chang'an City, the little eldest princess Tong'an was sitting in the hall with a frown on her face. The old godly woman had already learned that the assassination of Zhe Zong was He Qi. She secretly hated the Zhe family for being useful. She thought that He Qi would make me worse.
The bows and arrows and other sharp weapons were sent back to the competition, so that many young people dressed as ordinary people watching the competition gathered around Luo Qiben to cover him and shoot the fatal arrows, but they were still able to perform. Is it really against God's will?
After a while, there was no longer any opponent, and the defeated man fell onto his horse. The sergeant who was in charge of the exam quickly rode his horse to take him out of the small battle circle. The remaining candidates in the court found their opponents to continue fighting.
.
The martial arts students competing in the field were already aware of the sudden incident and had to stop the competition. They all led their own horses and sat upright on their horses to be careful of their own safety and not dare to move without permission.
"Princess, please calm down! Your Excellency was ordered by the leader later on. Considering that the seven gates of Chang'an City are now very strict for interrogation, it was a good idea for Xiao Duo of the Zhe family to hide in the city. If he was discovered by the informant sent by the Xu family, even if he knew the assassination
The thing is that the imperial court impeached the Zhejia army general for not being summoned to the capital. I am afraid it will also bring trouble to the Zhejia. The imperial court will use this to investigate, and the assassination of Zhe Zong will eventually be found out to be you and others.
So, given the current situation, can the princess think of a way to send General Zhe out of the city, and leave the assassination of Zhe Zong to you to complete."
In a small mansion in Chang'an City, a dozen strong men sat around a woman with a sinister face and fierce eyes. No one spoke loudly.
"Xu Tian, he is responsible for contacting the people of the Wang family. Can the Wang family try to send Mr. Zhe out of the capital? This matter started because of you. If possible, the Zhe family will be implicated and deeply involved in this matter."
When the guards of the Qin Mansion saw that the prince was assassinated, they were frightened and overwhelmed. At this time, after hearing the prince's military order, Zhou Cang reacted quickly and sent out a group of guards to guard the exit passage of the school grounds, while a group of guards followed the prince to look for the assassin under the auditorium.
.
Looking at the small battles in the entire school field, the most peaceful ones were fought. What dazzled people was the swarthy man who wielded the iron hammer and the white-faced man who wielded the red cherry spear. Only seven people were seen in the field, hammering and shooting, retreating.
Get the law.
Where all the candidates gathered on the steps, before Chen Laosan discussed with Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, Li Jing said seriously.
