"Sister Lin, do you know the name of this year's examiner?"
Yang Ji said anxiously.
"This, I don't know about this."
Lin Qingyan hesitated and shook her head. She didn't need to take part in the martial arts examination at all, and she never cared about this matter at all.
"Yang Ji, why are you asking this person? Is this related to your martial arts examination?"
Pan Chen said with concern.
The fact that Yang Ji was disqualified from the martial arts examination by the imperial court did not spread among the clan, but they all knew about it.
"Um."
Yang Ji nodded, briefly stated his thoughts, and said: "It is impossible for Yang Xuanlan to let me get admitted. I must find a way to stop him, and I cannot let him cover the sky with one hand."
"This... I very much support your idea. But according to what you said, Yang Xuanlan and he are both generals. They are closer to each other than you are no matter what. He can't be with a court general for you. You
It’s so difficult to get him to help you!”
Pan Chen was trying to save Yang Ji's face, but what he said was rather tactful. In fact, it was simply impossible for a general to offend another general for the sake of a candidate.
"I'm not asking him to help me. I just need him to report it to my father-in-law and be impartial."
Yang Ji said calmly, with a certain magnanimity in his expression:
"The martial arts examination is a triennial grand ceremony of the imperial court. It is not a place for Yang Xuanlan to pretend to be a public servant for personal gain. As long as he maintains the order of the imperial court, that's fine."
Yang Ji believed that his military strategy and martial arts skills were all superior, and there was no need for dummy hands. However, Yang Xuanlan obstructed him at every turn and targeted him in every possible way. Yang Ji also had to find ways to adapt.
Pan Chen secretly admired it, but still shook his head: "The martial arts examination has not started yet, and I have not paid attention to it. If you hadn't participated, little junior brother, I wouldn't have noticed this martial arts examination. - Senior Brother Zhao, what do you have?
News?"
"have no idea."
Zhao Hua's answer was simple: "Based on the situation in previous years, the examiner sent by the imperial court would not arrive until the first few days when registration starts. Now, no one has come. I can't figure it out either. - Junior Brother Tian,
do you know?"
Tian Junwen shook his head. He had already become a "senior brother" and would not pay attention to this matter.
Everyone looked at Lu Wu again. Lu Wu also shook his head.
Everyone couldn't help but look disappointed.
"About that examiner..., I do know some information."
Suddenly a voice came, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Senior Brother Xu, do you know?"
Yang Ji's eyes lit up, he was surprised and happy at the same time.
This time, in addition to Zhao Hua, Lin Qingyan and others, Yang Ji also invited Xu Ziyi over in order to brainstorm ideas. Originally, Xu Ziyi's relationship with everyone was not so close.
However, after the last evil battle, everyone was born and died underground. Invisibly, Yang Ji and others accepted him and became one of them.
"You also know that I like to make friends. The more good friends the better, the more the better..."
When Xu Ziyi saw everyone looking at him strangely, she couldn't help but smile and said quickly:
"It was also by chance. I met a disciple from a wealthy family in our sect a few days ago, and I heard him accidentally mention that a confidant happened to be participating in this martial arts examination. As you know, the power of the wealthy family is much wider than ours. So,
He wanted to contact the examiner at that time."
"Firstly, he wants to have someone to take care of him. Secondly, even if his confidant does not win, it is a personal relationship with the general of the imperial court. It is also good for the development of the wealthy family. Moreover, the reason is relatively sufficient.
"
Xu Ziyi took a sip from the Tieguanyin in front of her and said.
Yang Ji knew in his heart that the wealthy families Xu Ziyi mentioned could not be from the Luo family or the Shi family. And the most powerful family might even be Luo Yunzi.
It is not difficult to understand that rich and powerful families have good relations with each other. Even if they did not participate in the martial arts examination, they would still find ways to curry favor with them.
"However, things are a bit unexpected. With the status of such a local wealthy family, he was kicked out without even meeting me. It was really a loss of face. When I happened to see him, he was also very angry."
Xu Ziyi paused and said:
"According to the information collected by their wealthy family, this examiner of the imperial court is strict, old-fashioned, and almost inhumane. He generally does not meet people easily. Moreover, he does not like to socialize. He does everything according to the rules. He is not a familiar person.
Not to mention the people who meet him, it is difficult to even get close to his threshold."
Hearing Xu Ziyi's words, everyone on the ground frowned. If Xu Zi said it according to what Yang Ji said, it would be difficult for Yang Ji to even meet him, let alone asking him for help.
All I could hear was Xu Ziyi continuing:
"In addition, he is very afraid of candidates going to see him during the martial arts examination. I heard that he used to supervise examinations in other places. For this reason, there were not a few candidates who were reprimanded by him. I heard that there were also candidates who were reported by him for this reason.
The imperial court disqualified me."
Yang Ji frowned. If this is really the case, it would be very bad. It might be self-defeating.
However, Yang Ji has no choice now. Once Yang Xuanlan takes action during his military strategy, he will have almost no chance.
Moreover, this man is serious, old-fashioned, and unkind, which may not be bad news. At least, he will not be influenced by Yang Xuanlan, let alone collude with him.
"What's the name of this examiner?"
Yang Ji thought like this and said.
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was filled with surprise. Xu Ziyi also had a look of astonishment on her face, and then said:
"Wang Tai!"
…
After bidding farewell to Lin Qingyan and others, Yang Ji stayed alone in the room, pacing.
It was also unexpected to ask Xu Ziyi about the name of the second examiner of the martial arts examination. However, the character of this examiner also raised a question for Yang Ji.
"The written examination part of the military strategy will be reviewed by Yang Xuanlan and Wang Taiwang. It is absolutely impossible for Yang Xuanlan to give me a good review. If you want to stand out from this level, you can only fall in this king's position."
On the adults."
Yang Ji thought secretly in his heart.
The "rich family" mentioned by Xu Ziyi made it clear that they wanted to get closer to Wang Tai and were seeking favoritism. How could Wang Tai preside over the martial arts examination and avoid suspicion, so how could he receive him?
In Yang Ji's opinion, that method is not advisable.
"Everyone has a pole in their heart. It is said that I love what I love and hate what I hate. No matter what kind of general, he has his own preference. If I want to win at this level and gain favor, I must take the opposite direction.
, write military strategies and articles that he appreciates. As long as he can make the final decision, even if Yang Xuanlan wants to pretend to be a public or private matter and criticize me as useless, it is impossible to succeed."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
If you want to win the favor of the examiner, you must "play with him". But how to play with him is a big question. The Hao Rang from Langya County also played with him, but the result is self-evident.
In Yang Ji's opinion, the best way is to study the military strategy style of the new Lord Wang and write a military strategy and article according to his preferences.
If Yang Xuanlan pretends to be a public servant and wants to deal with himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the first hurdle with Mrs. Wang Tai. The more harshly he criticizes, the more unhappy Mr. Wang will be.
It's a pity that I still know too little information about Mr. Wang. And Xu Ziyi couldn't find much information from him.
Da da!
Yang Ji tapped his five fingers lightly on the desk, making a crisp sound. Yang Ji's mind was racing, and he was secretly thinking about countermeasures.
Suddenly, Yang Ji's eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind.
"Perhaps, there is no need to go to such trouble. I just need to ask someone."
Yang Ji thought and suddenly laughed.
The information about Mr. Wang Taiwang may be really hard to find for disciples of my sect. However, for another person, there is absolutely no pressure.
——Wang Xian!
Wang Xian comes from a military family, and his family has been in the military for several generations. No one knows more about the human affairs in the military than they do.
Yang Ji did it whenever he thought of it.
Yang Ji grabbed the brush on the pen holder and dipped it in ink. He immediately started writing on a piece of paper spread out. A letter was written quickly.
Yang Ji thought for a while and wrote another letter to his teacher "Shi Yu" who was still in Pingchuan City.
After completing these two things, Yang Ji immediately took the letter and headed to Elder Peak. The Iron Crown Sect's forces were spread all over Langya County, and they had flying falcon connections with the entire city, counties, and the imperial army.
The sect has already promised to help him, so he shouldn't refuse such a small thing.
Pu Leng Leng!
In just one cup of tea, two Iron Crown Sect flying falcons immediately soared into the sky from Elder Peak, one flying towards the troops of Pingchuan City.
The other flew towards a teahouse in Pingchuan City...
…
Time flies, and the reply from Yang Ji and others finally arrives on the third day.
"Pu Leng Leng!"
Through the window, Yang Ji watched several flying falcons flying to the Elder Peak. After a while, an elder delivered a letter. Yang Ji just glanced at it, his eyes immediately brightened, and he laughed.
"Wang Xian, thank you!"
Looking at the content on the letter, Yang Ji clenched his fist excitedly, knowing that he had made the right bet.
Wang Xian's family has a long history of learning. Almost at the same time he received Yang Ji's letter, he began to ask the elders of the family for detailed information about this Lord Wang Tai.
What Wang Xian mentioned in his letter was very detailed. It not only included the background and personal preferences of Wang Taiwang, but also his personal political opinions, military opinions, and a published military strategy.
mentioned.
According to Yang Ji's request, he collected all these materials, compiled them into a book, and had them sent over.
However, Wang Xian also expressed confusion in his letter.
The martial arts examination focuses on martial arts, martial arts, and personal strength. As for martial arts, things like military strategy are only trivial. He doesn't understand why Yang Ji spends so much energy on such a not-so-important military strategy?
"Wang Xian, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. When I win the martial arts examination, I will find a way to help you advance to a higher level in the army."
Yang Ji smiled slightly and put the letter into his arms.
