Yang Ji was a little impressed. He originally chose the Iron Crown Sect among many sects, and he went through many hardships in the Langya War and the Evil Way War.
Now it proves that everything is worth it. My original decision is also in vain.
"Yang Ji, don't get too happy too soon."
Elder Zhang shook his head:
"This is just a temporary measure. It's hard to say whether you can successfully participate in the martial arts examination. But the sect can only help you so far."
This act of iron crown faction was actually a double act. No general in the county would like this kind of thing.
However, the current time is special, there are surging undercurrents in the sect world, and the Iron Crown Sect is now in a very embarrassing situation. Fang Bai died, Chen Shien died, Jiang Jianqing died, and Meng Shenji died. Too many people died in one imperial conscription.
There are only a few people in the sect who can compare with Yang Ji in terms of qualifications and equal to Yang Ji in terms of strength.
Compared with the displeasure of a county general, the interests of the sect are obviously more important.
"Iron-made camp and flowing soldiers", what happened to Yi Xiantian this time also made everyone realize one thing:
Although the generals in the imperial court have noble status, extraordinary methods and strength, different generals have different styles. "Yi Xiantian" was transferred away after only staying for more than a month. This was something that no one could have expected in advance.
.
No one knows how long Yang Xuanlan can stay.
Generals come and go in an endless stream. But sects cannot move away. No matter who is in charge of Langya County is a general, Iron Sword Sect, Tongyi Sect, Beishan Sect, Jiugong Sect... these competitors will always be there.
There.
Only by defeating and intimidating these competitors and showing the strength of the sect can the interests of the sect be maintained. Relatively speaking, as long as a general of the imperial court does not make him unable to step down, becomes angry, or is just unhappy, then it doesn't matter.
.
After all, the competition between sects is extremely fierce, and it affects their survival decades or centuries later.
"Yang Ji understands. As long as the sect can help the disciples transfer their household registration, it is enough. Yang Ji will handle the rest by himself."
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
The sect has sectarian interests, and it is the limit for being able to help him this far. But even this is enough. Yang Ji is not stupid enough to think that the sect will help him fight against a dynasty's county general.
"Yang Ji. It's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. We don't care about the grudge between you and the general of the imperial court. However, since you have offended him, his methods are not limited to these. You should be careful.
"
Elder Xing brushed his sleeves and spoke seriously.
It’s much simpler to assess the elders:
"If you work hard and fail, it has nothing to do with the sect. No one will remember you. If you succeed, it will be good for you!"
"Disciple understands."
…
After coming down from Elder Peak, Yang Ji felt heavy in his heart.
The sky was cloudy, and the weather in early spring was very soft and warm. But the sun hit his eyes. Yang Ji couldn't help but cover his eyebrows with his hands, feeling it stung his eyes.
"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Yang Xuanlan, Yang Xuanlan, the more you try to prevent me from being a traitor, the less likely I will let you get your wish."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
There were twists and turns in the martial arts examination because of Yang Xuanlan. Just thinking about it made him feel resentful. This also made Yang Ji's accumulation of Yang Xuanlan reach its peak.
If others want to stand out, who is not supported by his family? Yang Xuanlan himself became a general of the imperial court. However, he tried his best to suppress himself and prevent himself from standing out.
Thinking of this, Yang Ji felt angry in his heart.
"I will never let you get what you want!"
Yang Ji quickly returned to his residence.
In this battle related to one's own destiny, no one can help. The sect can give itself the maximum limit.
Yang Ji knew deeply that he could only rely on himself in this matter.
From noon to midnight, Yang Ji sat cross-legged in the room alone, folding his arms and thinking silently.
Unknowingly, the night was already dark, and a gentle breeze blew on the window. The bright moonlight came in through the window, casting a layer of brightness on Yang Ji's body.
"Yang Xuanlan's use of this matter to suppress me is definitely more than just words. He will definitely find a way to summon the Yang family members and confront them with witnesses and physical evidence. This matter will be confirmed."
The wind rustled outside the window. Yang Ji looked a little tired, but his eyes were unusually bright, shining with wisdom.
His heart was extremely calm:
"However, there is no need for him to go to such trouble. Yang Hu, Yang Bao, and Yang Gui are by his side. He just needs to let them come forward."
Yang Ji knew in his heart that the fate of his life might be determined by these few inadvertent decisions.
"If I want to prove myself, I must borrow the power of Master Shi. As the Imperial Master, Master Shi has high moral standards. What he says is definitely more useful than a few servants and disciples of the Yang family. However, this is not enough. Shi Shi
The teacher is too old to endure the fatigue and travel."
Yang Ji raised his head and suddenly noticed:
"This matter must be done with the help of the teacher. There are also many great scholars in Langya City. As long as I use the influence of the teacher and let them come forward to testify for me, Yang Xuanlan will never think of making an issue with me on this matter."
The first thing was solved, but Yang Ji didn't feel relaxed at all. He knew very well that with Yang Xuanlan's character and methods, now that he had become General Langya and had enough time, he would definitely not only have these things.
means.
Yang Ji stretched out a finger and tapped the floor, lost in thought.
"The martial arts examination pays equal attention to both civil and military examinations. It is a grand event for the imperial court. Although Yang Xuanlan wants to deal with me, he must be fair and follow the rules. I am not afraid of him taking action in the martial arts competition in the ring. With so many people watching, he will never dare to do it. But
The same cannot be said for military strategy."
Yang Ji's eyes sparkled.
There is a huge difference between the "Wu Xiucai Examination" and the "Wu Tong Sheng Examination". When it comes to the "Wu Xiucai" level examination, the weight of the Confucian Three Classics and Five Classics has been greatly reduced. On the contrary, the content of the "Martial Strategy" part has been greatly increased.
For the martial arts examination at the child-level level, one only needs to be proficient in writing, arts and science. As for the level of proficiency, it will not be deliberately investigated.
But "Martial Arts Scholar" is different. Not only must he have strong martial arts skills, but he must also have extraordinary vision, insight, courage, and skill. In other words, he must have the ability to be a military commander.
Therefore, the examination in the martial arts examination plays a very important role in the martial arts examination, which is completely different from that in the Tongsheng examination.
The imperial court held the "Martial Arts Examination" to select officials for the imperial court. Not only must they have martial arts skills, but they must also have wisdom and leadership.
Otherwise, how are you different from a reckless man?
A reckless man with high martial arts skills has only one use for the court, that is, as an infantry to charge into battle.
"If Yang Xuanlan wants to deal with me, he will definitely choose to do it here."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
As a military general, Yang Xuanlan had an absolute right to speak in the military strategy. As long as he pretended to be for public benefit and made his military strategy worthless, it would be useless even if he wrote about the beauty of the land.
The "Martial Arts" section is at the bottom and has been criticized for being useless. So no matter how outstanding you are in the martial arts examination and no matter how many opponents you defeat, you can never win.
When Yang Ji thought of this, he suddenly felt anxious in his heart. Yang Xuanlan was General Langya. He was guarding a county, and there was no way he could escape the martial arts examination held in the county.
Moreover, the military strategy assessment part was originally within the scope of Yang Xuanlan's ability and power. There was nothing he could do about this.
"what to do?"
Yang Ji's fingers tapped on the floor tiles faster and faster. He was now almost certain that Yang Xuanlan must and would definitely make a fuss about this.
But the key is that I have no way to deal with it?
"Do I really have to wait another three years? And after three years, who knows whether he will still be here?"
Yang Ji raised his head and looked at the ceiling at the top of the hall. His mind went up and down, and an irritable mood gradually rose in his heart.
"I have already been delayed for eight years. Do I have to delay another three years?"
Yang Ji said irritably.
Snapped!
The strength of his fingers unknowingly increased, and a reddish-brown floor tile cracked with a snap, but Yang Ji felt nothing.
Three years is neither long nor short. But for Yang Ji, it may mean two completely different "destinies".
"One wrong move and everything is lost." The eighteen-year-old Wu Xiucai had extraordinary qualifications, but the twenty-one-year-old Wu Xiucai was just mediocre.
There is a world of difference between the two in terms of officials, titles, attention, and official career advancement!
"Is there really no other way?"
Yang Ji tapped his fingers on the floor tiles, frowning more and more.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind. Yang Ji suddenly remembered something:
"I remember Senior Sister Lin once said that in Wu Xiucai's imperial examination, there was more than one examiner in Wu Lue!"
This thought crossed his mind. Yang Ji's heart immediately started pounding.
It is absolutely impossible for Yang Xuanlan to let him pass. But if there are more than one examiner... then Yang Xuanlan may not be able to cover the sky in this exam.
Thinking of this, Yang Ji's heart immediately started to move.
"Hurry and find Senior Sister Lin!"
Yang Ji stood up and went to find Lin Qingyan to confirm the matter. A ray of moonlight came in from the window and hit him. Yang Ji was startled, and then he realized that it was still night.
"Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow."
Yang Ji smiled bitterly, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and sat down again.
…
"Martial strategy? There are indeed two."
Lin Qingyan sat down in Yang Ji's room and said in surprise. At dawn, she was pulled over by Yang Ji. Around her, Zhao Hua, Lu Wu, Pan Chen and others also sat down.
Yang Ji originally wanted to ask Lin Qingyan for advice, but later he changed his mind and brainstormed and invited Pan Chen, Zhao Hua and others over.
"Except for the child-student level, which is not very important, so there is only one examiner. All other examinations are presided over by two or even more examiners. For example, the level of the martial arts examination is far more than two. Instead, there are multiple examiners cross-examining the examination.
, and their levels are all above the general level."
Lin Qingyan explained that because she had participated in this aspect, she had a very thorough understanding:
"In addition, the main responsibility of the local county generals is to guard one side, and is not responsible for the martial arts examination. The court generally has a specially designated examiner for the martial arts examination.
"It's just that the power of the county generals is there. If you want to successfully hold the martial arts examination, you can't avoid them. In addition, the generals originally belong to the resources of the court, so when the martial arts examination is held, the local county generals automatically acquiesce.
As one of the examiners for all previous martial arts examinations, this has become a common practice!"
Lin Qingyan said, a little confused why Yang Ji called her over so early in the morning and asked about this? (To be continued...)
