"After the second brother died, this part of the family became vacant. In the end, there was no other way, so the third brother stepped in. Unexpectedly, he almost died in it in the end."
Ouyang Zhuming looked complicated and said:
"Outsiders all envy the big families, but in fact we also envy you. I can't afford to lose this martial arts examination. This not only affects me, but also affects the face of the Ouyang family. I have taken on this responsibility and cannot escape it."
Yang Ji was speechless. In fact, the relationship between the two could not be said to be very good. They were just acquaintances with Ouyang Zishi.
Not long ago, there was even a conflict between the two. But at this time, Yang Ji suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him.
"Let's go. I have some ways to help you recover from your injuries."
Yang Ji carried Ouyang Zhuming and walked out.
Outside the Wu Palace, Ouyang Zushi was waiting early. Almost at the same time when he saw him, Ouyang Zhuming pushed Yang Ji away, forced himself to regain his energy, smiled, and walked over with force.
Yang Ji understood what he meant and didn't stop him.
"Senior Brother Yang, what's going on inside? What exactly is the literary test?"
As soon as Ouyang Zushi saw the two of them, he immediately came up to them excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"this……"
Yang Ji smiled bitterly. He faced the challenging levels of the literary test with ease and effortlessness. But Ouyang Zishi really didn't know how to answer this question.
Yang Ji suddenly understood why there were people taking part in the martial arts examination every year, but the rumors about the literary examination were always vague, and there were so few.
Those who have failed are confused, but those who have passed may not be able to explain it clearly. It is not easy to describe the "unity of spirit, energy and spirit" to someone who has not experienced it personally.
, cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
"You'd better ask Ninth Brother."
Yang Jidao turned his head and looked at Ouyang Zhuming aside.
…
The list of the Martial Arts Examination was released very quickly. It was announced almost on the day after the competition ended. Notices and list papers were posted in all important places in Zhou Prefecture where there are the most people.
When the list of nearly thirty people came out, the entire Taiyuan City was shocked.
Everyone knows that the list of candidates for this year's martial arts examination will be born among these people. Streets, restaurants and restaurants are all talking about these lists.
There were lively discussions everywhere.
But Yang Ji never cared about these.
…
The branches of winter plum blossoms in summer are clustered like snow. They look unique. Although Yang Ji has seen it more than once, he still feels that he never gets tired of it.
It has been a few days since the literary test of the martial arts examination ended. Without the delay of martial arts, Yang Ji has been staying in the golden official post almost every day these days.
The young prince of Jiuding seemed to know his preference, and specially chose a location for him facing the plum blossom forest, making it easy to view and appreciate it.
"Dong dong dong!"
While watching, suddenly a knock on the door came from behind:
"Master Yang, Your Highness invites you."
"I know, you go first."
Yang Ji came back to his senses and poked his head out of the window. Ever since Taiyuan Palace defeated the young man named "Black and White" and saved the face of Jiuding Prince in front of Princess Longwu, this young Prince from the Imperial Capital has
He seems to take himself very seriously.
In addition, he was not familiar with the place. Taiyuanzhou was not the imperial capital after all, and a powerful dragon could not defeat a local snake. Therefore, the young prince Jiuding attached great importance to his local "subordinate" and would discuss many matters with him.
"My subordinate has met the young prince."
In a slightly dim hall of Jinguanyi, Yang Ji saw the young prince and the cold-faced middle-aged priest buried in a pile of old papers. There were also several other good and evil masters in the room who were recruited, but there were not many of them.
Those who are qualified to enter this hall are all carefully selected by the Little Prince Jiuding. First of all, these people must be good in strength, and secondly, they must be reliable in terms of loyalty, so there are actually not many people who are qualified to enter here.
"Hahaha, Yang Ling, you're here!"
The young prince of Jiuding heard the footsteps. He raised his head and called out Yang Ji's "pseudonym", looking very happy. The good and evil warriors around him also raised their heads.
"Master Yang."
They all lowered their heads and looked very frightened. They had seen how powerful Yang Ji was. That day, the young man in black under Princess Longwu almost beat them all over the floor and almost lost their teeth. This was because he showed mercy.
.In front of the young prince Jiuding, everyone was really embarrassed.
If Yang Ji hadn't come forward, they would have become the laughing stock of the martial arts world, and they would never be able to hold their heads high in the future.
In the world of martial arts, the jungle prevails, and the strong are respected the most. Therefore, even though Yang Ji looks younger, no one feels contempt for him.
The thin golden mask on his face showed no emotion or anger, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. On the contrary, it made everyone think that he was unpredictable and they were even more afraid of him.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Yang Ji ignored those strong men of good and evil, and strode towards the young prince Jiuding.
"Haha, yes. The trick you gave me last time was very useful. We have basically met all the top candidates in the martial arts examination. The posts were handed in and the gifts were given. There is nothing that that woman Long Wu can do about this.
, Haha, it’s a pity that there are still some people I haven’t seen yet.”
The young prince of Jiuding said that he didn't have to hide it in front of Yang Ji, anything that could drive that woman Long Wu crazy, no matter what, could make him happy.
What's more, what he is doing now is not just to fight with a woman, but to help his father complete the task.
Once this is done, my father will definitely value me more.
"It's just a few people, why should the young prince care? Moreover, the martial arts examination is not over yet. Even if it is over, there is still a chance."
Yang Ji said calmly. He knew very well what the young prince Jiuding meant when he said "there are still some people I haven't seen yet." He had a copy of the young prince's posts and messages that the ghost alchemist had collected for him.
Gift.
But he will definitely not meet the person. This is not the time to meet the young prince.
"Haha, that's true."
The young prince Jiuding laughed and didn't care. Yes, there is always time to recruit talents. It is the same even if the martial arts examination is over.
"The only trouble now is Marquis Zhongwu. His whereabouts are erratic, and I don't know when he will come. And when I come to Taiyuanzhou this time, I have a strong feeling that he will not see me!"
Speaking of what happened later, the young prince Jiuding had a look of emotion on his face. He would not hide it in front of Yang Ji. There were also many people who knew about his father's plan for the Shenwu Guard.
This is almost an open secret in the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, Princess Longwu would not be so vigorous and spare no effort to suppress and stop her.
