Within a few breaths, there was a sound of footsteps, and Li Chen, wearing a long gown as smooth as water, stepped in from the door with a calm demeanor.
When I entered the door, I saw Yang Ji, and my eyes were startled. Their eyes touched each other, and they separated immediately, and neither one said anything.
"I've met my lord."
Li Chen bowed to Captain Ding.
"Well. You arrived a little later than them. But it's just right. Come in."
Captain Ding smiled and said. Although Li Chen lost to Yang Ji, he still ranked second in this martial arts examination, and his future prospects are limitless.
"Yes, sir."
Li Chen bowed again, then stood next to Shi Qing.
Neither Yang Ji nor Li Chen looked at each other, as if the other didn't exist. If Yang Ji had 90% confidence that Li Chen had released the news about Martial Palace before, then now, facing Li Chen,
After taking that look, Yang Ji was almost certain that it was him!
"Now that everyone is here, we can start now."
Captain Ding's voice came to my ears: "Yang Ji, Li Chen, Du Xing, Sun Hai, Li Feng..."
Captain Ding sat high up holding a name book and read out the names on it one by one, and everyone responded.
"In this martial arts examination, you are the best among them. According to the rules of the imperial court, all newly promoted martial arts students must enter the martial arts department for internship. This is also for your future consideration and to learn more about the structure and operation of the imperial court. It will be helpful to you
There are benefits to all.”
Captain Ding raised his hand, and seven rays of blood flew away from his hand and flew towards the seven people. Yang Ji stretched out his hand to catch it, and the blood light dispersed, revealing a bronze waistband underneath.
"What's this?"
Yang Ji took a look, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This is a merit token, equivalent to the level of a military official."
Captain Ding took a deep look at everyone and said meaningfully:
"Don't underestimate this waist card. At your current level, this waist card is not of much use. But when you reach the level of Wu Xiucai, you can use it to transfer two people in the army anywhere.
The higher the level of a soldier, the more punishments you can receive. So don’t lose it!”
"ah!"
Everyone let out a slight shout, and even Shi Qing couldn't help but tighten his grip on the "merit badge" and put it into his arms.
The imperial soldiers are not trivial. Each one has the imperial court's standard heavy armor, and they are at least the "warrior" level. Considering everyone's current level, this is an incredible combat power, not to mention the fact that they are being punished for free.
Moreover, the more imperial soldiers there are, the more powerful they are, and they are good at team attacks. When dozens of knights charge together, even martial arts masters must be more careful.
"The internship period is one month. Although the court will not force you to participate in the battle, it is not without problems. It is your most basic obligation to help the court deliver official documents. Someone will arrange all of this for you. Okay,
Disperse”
Captain Ding waved his hand and said.
This summons came and went quickly. Basically, it was a formal arrangement for Yang Ji and others to familiarize themselves with military affairs. If there is any gain, the biggest one is the merit badge.
After leaving the martial arts department, Yang Ji had just stepped out of the gate when he heard a laughing voice shouting from a distance:
"Yang Ji!——"
Opposite the gate of the Military Department, a carriage was parked on the street. Lu Ling, Wang Xian, Lu Youxiang, and Shen Tong were standing beside the carriage with smiles. They seemed to have been waiting for a while.
"Lu Ling."
Yang Ji was also overjoyed and walked over quickly with Duan Gang.
"I know that you two new officials have taken office, so I came here to greet you. Let's go to Dilong Restaurant to celebrate."
Lu Ling patted Yang Ji on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Hey, let's go! Have a good drink today!"
Duan Gang laughed and said.
Yang Ji also smiled, and they boarded the carriage together and headed to Dilong Restaurant.
From behind, a pair of eyes looked at the six people leaving with malicious eyes. Shi Qing turned his eyes and suddenly looked to his side:
"Li Chen, I know you hate that kid too. Why don't we work together to deal with him!"
He deliberately stayed at the end, waiting for this opportunity. At this time, everyone left, and only he and Li Chen were left.
"Ah!"
Li Chen glanced at him. He just smiled and walked out without saying anything.
"!!"
Shi Qing was stunned, staring at Li Chen's back with his mouth agape. He prepared a set of excuses, but he didn't expect any of them to be delivered. He was rejected by the other party.
"You bastard, why are you dragging me? But for a kid from a small family, what's the big deal if he comes in second place!"
Shi Qing's face turned livid and turned ferocious in an instant:
"You two wait until I return to the family. One day you will regret it."
Shi Qing flicked his sleeve angrily and strode away.
The disciples of the majestic Shi family were actually miserable in a small place like Pingchuan County, which made Shi Qing extremely angry. Shi Qing swore in his heart that one day he would make them pay the price.
"snort!"
Li Chen seemed to have heard what Shi Qing said before leaving, and just smiled.
He doesn't reject allies, but let's forget about such unintelligent allies who have resentment written on their faces!
…
Dilong Restaurant is bustling with people. Although the martial arts examination has passed, as the most famous restaurant in Pingchuan County, Dilong Restaurant is still overcrowded.
Lu Ling and others chose the largest table in the center of the second floor and sat down happily.
"Duan Gang, you bastard is really lucky. You actually picked a martial arts student for nothing. I didn't even get it, so you got a good deal!"
Shen Tong shouted as soon as he sat down.
"Hahaha, I'm lucky, so what can I do? How can I kill the fat man, and you don't accept it?"
Duan Gang didn't feel dissatisfied and laughed loudly.
"Huh, before you talk to me, take a look at your body. Do you think you are thin?"
Shen Tong said unceremoniously.
Duan Gang just laughed. During this period, everyone became familiar with each other and joked with each other, but they didn't take it seriously.
"Okay, okay. Yang Ji and Duan Gang are high school martial arts students. This is a good thing! Come on, let's have tea instead of wine and have a drink first."
Lu Ling raised the teacup on the table and said with a smile on his face.
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone immediately fell silent. Among all six people, regardless of identity, status, or strength, Lu Ling was the well-deserved number one.
"...Also, let us congratulate Yang Ji on officially moving to Pingchuan City. Come and have a drink!"
Lu Ling smiled. With one sentence, everyone focused their attention on Yang Ji.
"Okay. Let's have a drink."
"Well, Yang Ji, congratulations on moving to Pingchuan County."
…
Everyone raised their teacups with smiles on their faces.
Yang Ji also didn't expect that Lu Ling would talk about his affairs. Although he was a little surprised, he remembered that with Lu Ling's identity, Colonel Li and the others knew about it, and Lu Ling and the others almost knew about it.
"Thank you."
Yang Ji also raised the tea cup in front of him and drank it with a smile.
Everyone present, including Yang Ji, could drink more or less. However, Lu Ling was a girl, so they all just tolerated her.
After a while, the wine and food were served, and everyone was in high spirits. They started chatting while eating the food. Lu Ling laughed when he heard Captain Ding's words in the military department.
"This is the rule of the previous dynasty. In the past, Wu Tongsheng did not deal with official documents in the official office, but served in the army and followed the army to fight."
