After settling down Uncle Liang, Yang Ji went directly to the General's Mansion to resume his duties.
The City Lord's Mansion and the General's Mansion are in the east and west, and are the core of the major cities of the Han Dynasty. The City Lord's Mansion is in charge of government, and the General's Mansion is in charge of the army. Just to the east of Pingchuan City, Yang Ji finally saw the General's Mansion.
A majestic black iron hall stands, next to the military camp and the school grounds. The golden glazed tiles on the top of the hall are shining brightly, and there are soldiers walking up and down the eaves, and they are heavily guarded.
But the most peculiar thing about the General's Mansion is the statue in front of the door. It is as tall as two people and its body is red. It is the statue of General Zhenyuan in Pingchuan City.
The statue has a majestic gaze and two blood-red pupils, which are lifelike, as if they are alive.
"What a burning feeling!"
Yang Ji stood in front of the statue of General Zhenyuan and felt a burning wave of heat coming from the statue. The closer he got, the more obvious the heat became.
"It is rumored that General Zhenyuan once smeared his martial arts will and two drops of blood on the statue. Now it seems to be true."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
Qin Yan, the Zhenyuan General of Pingchuan City, was a legendary figure who could tear away hundreds of soldiers with one punch, stamp the earth with one kick, and whose blood could melt gold and iron.
Yang Ji had never seen him before, but judging from what he saw, just two drops of blood could keep the statue warm for a long time. This man's strength was probably higher than the rumors.
After passing the notification along the way, Yang Ji entered the general's mansion. He saw a black-faced man with a strong aura and an aura of iron fire, who was more than nine feet tall and looked like a demon sitting on a metal throne.
I don't know if it's because of his fierce martial arts training, but his frame is extraordinarily tall. His two big steel-like hands were pressed on the armrests, showing an air of mastering infinite power.
When Yang Ji came in, he was leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and concentrating, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Student Yang Ji has met the adults!"
Yang Ji bowed and said. His voice was extremely loud in the silent hall.
"Buzz!"
The man in the main hall blinked his eyelids twice, and then opened his eyes. In an instant, the main hall shook. It seemed that he had been hit by a violent impact.
However, Yang Ji saw two dazzling suns in those two eyes, and the overwhelming light illuminated the hall into daylight.
Yang Ji felt a little chilled in his heart. He had heard that some generals could stun the embankments of rivers by just stamping their feet. But he didn't expect that General Qin could shake the hall even if he opened and closed his eyelids.
From this point of view, many rumors may not be just rumors and legends!
"Huh!"
A cry of surprise suddenly sounded in the main hall, and the bright light in the hall suddenly dimmed: "You raise your head!"
"Um?"
Yang Ji was surprised, this was not the meeting he expected. When he looked up, Yang Ji immediately saw a pair of eyes that were as bright as lightning, and those eyes visibly jumped when they saw him.
"So familiar!"
The man in the main hall frowned with a confused look on his face, and then the thunderous voice sounded again:
"Boy, let me ask you, who are you Yang Du?"
"!!!"
Yang Ji's heart was pounding, and the blood all over his body was boiling. This was not the first time he heard such a question. The similar faces between father and son have attracted the attention of many old friends.
"General, do you know my father?"
Yang Ji swallowed and said with difficulty. When his father was alive, Yang Ji had never heard that he actually knew General Zhenyuan of Pingchuan County.
"I only heard that the leader of the civil and military examinations this time is named Yang Ji. I didn't expect you to be Yang Du's son."
General Zhenyuan Qin Yan smiled. His thick, dark eyebrows slowly unfurled:
"Yang Du of Jin'an City! He was a great person back then!"
When a child was resurrected, Yang Ji did not expect to find out the news about his father "Yang Du". This was a completely unexpected gain, and Yang Ji couldn't help but excitedly said:
"Sir, my father died unexpectedly that year. The court only said it was an accident, but did not give any details. The court ruled by benevolence and filial piety. You and my father were familiar with each other. Can you tell the students how my father died?"
"this……"
General Zhenyuan Qin Yan had a troubled look on his face:
"I don't know much about this matter. It's just that according to vague rumors at that time, your father's death should be related to a letter."
"A letter?"
Yang Jijian raised his eyebrows.
"Hmm. I don't know the specifics. In fact, your father and I don't know each other very well. I was your father's opponent when I was in the martial arts competition."
General Zhenyuan Qin Yan said with a smile:
"Yang Du is talented, smart, and fair. He has a reputation among his peers. There are very few people I admire in my life, and your father is one of them. He came out of a small and borderland place like Jin'an City and later achieved such great achievements.
, he can be regarded as an outstanding person of his generation. It’s a pity that I won the imperial examination and was transferred to Pingchuan City. I missed your father.”
"It was really sad to hear that your father died. However, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. He has a child like you, so he should smile and comfort himself."
Yang Ji couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He originally thought he had met an old friend of his father, but he didn't expect that it was just a nod.
"Oh, you don't have to be disappointed. Although I didn't know your father, I do know someone who may know the cause of your father's death that year."
General Zhenyuan Qin Yan said with a smile.
"ah!"
Yang Ji was startled, raised his head, and said overjoyed: "Sir, who is it?"
"Although I don't have much contact with your father, I know that he has a good friend named Lu Yixuan. They both passed the martial arts examination together. They were both officials in Zhoufu. If you can find him, you can also know that you
What happened to my father back then."
Qin Yandao, general of Zhenyuan.
"Lu Yixuan?"
Yang Ji murmured to himself, thoughtfully. After a long time, he bowed deeply and said sincerely:
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Please accept a gift from my students."
"It doesn't have to be like this. The fact that you can see me is also the result of your hard work. Otherwise, I may not tell you this place."
Qin Yandao, general of Zhenyuan.
What he told the truth was that as a general of a county, he was responsible for thousands of troops and would not see anyone at all. Even if Yang Ji wanted to see him, he would have to go through a heavy selection of guards, and he could not see him just because he wanted to.
"Okay. I won't talk about the past anymore. Let's give you a reward!"
Qin Yan waved his hand, and the two wooden boxes, one large and one small, immediately flew out. There was a flash of blood in the air, and they landed gently in front of Yang Ji:
"The small box is a blood essence pill as a reward for you. There are three volumes of martial arts scriptures and paintings in the big box. You can choose one."
"Thank you, sir."
Yang Ji opened the big box, and there were indeed three scrolls of colorful sutras and paintings in the box. When he opened it, he saw that the first volume of sutras and paintings showed ten running bulls with their flesh protruding and glaring angrily.
Yang Ji took a look and felt that the running bulls made of steel and iron seemed to be bursting out of the paper and rushing towards them. Countless running bulls were charging towards them. They were about to be trampled into powder.
a feeling of.
"What a strong momentum!"
Yang Ji's eyelids twitched and he looked at the words in the upper right corner of the sutra painting: "Ten Ox Fist"! Just looking at the majestic power of this punch, it was obviously a very strong and powerful boxing technique.
Yang Ji put away the first sutra painting and opened the second one. There was a sound of running water in his ears. In the sutra painting, he saw a huge black dragon rushing over the river and into the sea. It seemed as if it was about to vibrate out of the paper.
Same.
It felt as if I was witnessing a huge black dragon dancing in front of me, with astonishing power.
"Oolong Fury Fist!"
Yang Jiannian read the words on the sutra painting. This kind of boxing is no small matter at first glance. It has the power to turn rivers and oceans upside down. In addition to being strong and fierce, it is also agile, and its quality is obviously higher than that of the "Ten Ox Boxing".
When I opened the third picture, the picture was simple, with only one sword. The shape of the sword was simple. There was faint blood on the sword. At a glance, it felt like it originated from chaos, splitting the universe, and creating all kinds of wind and thunder.
"Immortal Sword!"
Yang Ji knew what he should choose at the first glance. The artistic conception level of this sutra painting was obviously higher than that of "Ten Ox Fist" and "Oolong Fury Fist".
Moreover, "one inch is long and one inch is strong." In this martial arts examination, Yang Ji has fully understood the pros and cons of "weapons" from "Zuo Guangdou".
"Forget it!"
