Chapter 128: The Secret Behind the Military Examination (1)
The clatter of horse hooves could be heard incessantly, and large numbers of imperial troops and horses were dispatched in all directions. The fire in the entire Langya City had been brought under control, and even the evil warriors who set fire everywhere had disappeared.
"Ten years...Zhihu...Yang Du...why does the evil prince want something related to his father? Zhihu, is this his father's nickname back then? What did he do back then?"
Yang Ji was walking down the street alone with his head down, and he had so many thoughts in his mind. He never knew that he would hear his father's name again from the mouth of an evil rising star, and he also admired his father very much.
Yang Ji had never heard of the title of Zhihu.
"What's the secret? What's the secret?..."
Things were going on in Yang Ji's mind.
What the evil prince wants seems to be related to his father. The evil prince knows this secret, and Yang Xuanlan knows it, but he, the descendant of Yang Du who should know the most, knows nothing about it.
Yang Ji suddenly realized that he really knew too little about his father back then. Apart from knowing that he had won the martial arts exam, he knew almost nothing else.
No one has ever mentioned it to him.
"Why, why..., why has no one ever told me? Why did Yang Xuanlan destroy the documents from the government ten years ago? Is it because of that thing that he was transferred from Zhoufu to Langya County?"
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
The imperial court's transfer orders have their own rules and regulations, and this is true whether they are transferred or appointed.
Yang Ji always thought that Yang Xuanlan's appearance in Langya City was just a coincidence, but after experiencing what happened tonight and witnessing Yang Xuanlan's reaction at that time, Yang Ji no longer thought so.
The moonlight was bright and the night wind was blowing slowly, but Yang Ji could not calm down in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the year his father passed away. Could it be that besides the silver coins and diary in the package, there were other things left behind by his father?
Only in this way can we explain why Yang Xuanlan knew this news but he did not.
"...With Madam's character, this is completely possible!"
Yang Ji clenched his fists fiercely, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Wusheng Station passed by in an instant, and Yang Ji jumped over the courtyard wall and jumped into the room through the window. From under the bed, Yang Ji took out the "Practice Notes" left by his father.
"No, nothing!"
Yang Ji read through it from beginning to end, his eyes filled with tears. Perhaps because his father at that time never thought that he would reach the point where he is today, so there was nothing in the "Practice Notes" except some insights.
Ten years ago, matters related to my father were not even mentioned in a single word.
Yang Ji held the "Practice Notes" and his mind went up and down.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside the window gradually subsided. Yang Ji also woke up.
"That's all, I will find out the truth one day."
Yang Ji thought to himself, calming down his ups and downs.
Sitting cross-legged in the room, Yang Ji began to sort out the battle between Yang Xuanlan and the evil prince in front of the military supplies warehouse.
From this turmoil, Yang Ji's biggest gain was the battle between these two powerful men.
The masters in the Wuzong realm are so powerful that Yang Ji can't match them yet. Witnessing such a top-notch battle will play a big role in Yang Ji's future martial arts growth.
It's just that the two men took action too quickly. Coupled with the influence of smoke and tornadoes, Yang Ji still needs time to thoroughly analyze and proceed.
Time passed slowly. At dawn, Yang Ji finally woke up from his trance.
"It's almost there. It should be able to be projected in a while."
Yang Ji secretly checked his mental power and felt that it had increased a lot compared to before.
Yang Ji glanced at the window, and a faint gleam of light came out from the outside. What happened last night was destined to cause a big disturbance, especially when someone like the evil prince was mixed into the martial arts examination.
For the imperial court, this was a very troublesome matter.
However, these are not too important things to Yang Ji.
“It’s been so long since I took part in the martial arts examination that it’s time to come to an end.”
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
The final twelve candidates for the martial arts examination have been selected, and the identity of "Cao Dian" has been revealed. Of course, an evil prince cannot continue to participate in the martial arts examination.
And apart from Cao Dian, the only one who really deserves my attention in the entire martial arts examination is a white giant deer.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Whether we can make further progress in this martial arts examination will determine whether we can defeat this white giant deer!"
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Ji's mind, and then he flicked his finger, making a buzzing sound, his blood condensed, and a simple spear appeared in the void.
This spear is only one finger wide and half a foot long. Although it is made of blood, it is as solid as substance, and it slowly rotates in the air as Yang Ji moves his fingers.
Airsoft!
This is what Yang Ji understood from the evil warrior "Evil Spear" he killed, and it belongs to the category of Qi weapons. Time is short, and Yang Ji has not been able to fully understand it, but he has been able to condense the shape of the spear.
It will take a lot of time to fully succeed in cultivation.
Since ancient times, there has been no one who was first in literature, and no one who was second in martial arts.
No matter which level of martial arts examination, first and second place have completely different weights. Yang Ji will defeat Bai Julu and shine in this martial arts examination, and air rifle skills are his biggest trump card.
"Air Gun" is extremely powerful and can extremely restrain masters below the martial arts level.
It's just that this martial art is extremely difficult to practice, and it has very strict requirements on mental strength and blood energy control ability. However, Yang Ji happened to have both of them.
"Buzz!"
Yang Ji thought, and the half-foot-long spear immediately split into more smaller miniature "spear", which flexibly rotated in mid-air with Yang Ji's five fingers.
Each spear seems to have its own life.
——This is a method specially designed by Yang Ji to improve his blood energy control!
There was still some time before the martial arts examination started, so Yang Jijing concentrated on regulating his blood energy and improving his ability to control blood energy.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and an angry voice came from outside the door: "Is Young Master Yang here?"
Yang Ji opened his eyes and opened the door. Three fully armed soldiers appeared at the door. They were holding the Whispering Knife that Yang Ji was all too familiar with.
"Mr. Yang, General Wang asked us to send this. It is said that it was found on the long street near the munitions depot. General Langya said it might be yours."
After saying this, the leading soldier held up his hands and handed over the Whispering Knife that Yang Ji had left on the long street.
"Yang Xuanlan?"
Yang Ji was slightly surprised, but then he realized that Yang Xuanlan should still look down on the Whispering Sword. And since Wang Tai was present, it was impossible for Yang Xuanlan to keep it private for official reasons.
"Thank you."
Yang Ji thanked him and took the Whispering Sword. The two swords were immediately returned to Zhao intact.
The Wusheng Station was abuzz with people coming and going. Yang Ji listened and many people were discussing the incident last night.
Seeing Yang Ji coming out, many people he knew greeted him one after another.
Yang Ji nodded, looked at the time and it was almost time, and set off from the inn towards the Martial Palace.
…
"Nakano, have you heard about what happened last night?"
In the early morning, just as Shi Zhongye was about to step out of the gate, he was summoned to the ancestral temple of the wealthy Shi family by the family elders with white hair and beards.
Although his hair is gray, the elder of the Shi family's wealthy family is not old-fashioned at all. His eyes are bright and insightful, and even the young people cannot compare with him.
Although Shi Zhongye is unruly, he has great respect for the elders of the clan. This is not because he respects the old and loves the young, but because he knows deeply that under the seemingly aging appearance of these old guys,
What kind of terrifying power lurks.
In the face of this terrifying power, Shi Zhongye was just an insignificant little kid who could be crushed to death with just one finger.
Confronting the elders never ends well.
"I heard that warriors from the evil lineage seemed to have burned down several houses and destroyed a military supply depot, right?"
Shi Zhongye raised his head and said casually.
He had also heard about what happened last night. However, there was really no need for him to worry about this kind of thing. When he was in "Tianshui County", he had seen many larger and more intense scenes.
In comparison, what happened last night was nothing.
"Hey, do we need to worry about burning a few houses? Even if the entire Langya City is burned down, it's none of our business. However, Cao Dian is the evil prince. You should already know this news, right?"
The old elder stroked his frosty beard and said.
"What?"
Shi Zhongye's expression changed and he sat up suddenly.
In the riot last night, he had long heard that a candidate disguised as an evil warrior was involved, and this candidate was not at a low level. He was probably one of the candidates who made it to the final list of twelve people.
But who it is, Shi Zhongye doesn't know at all, and no news has come out, but this secret is obviously not a problem for the Shi family, or to be precise, for the elders of the Shi family.
"sure?"
Stone Nakano Road.
There are only two people he considers to be strong rivals in this martial arts examination. One is Bai Julu. There is no need to say more about Baekdu Mountain’s background.
The other one was Cao Dian. Even though he didn't know his origin, Shi Zhongye had a strong feeling of a strong enemy almost as soon as he saw him.
"This person is very, very strong!..."
This was Ishi Nakano's only impression at that time.
But Shi Zhongye didn't expect that this Cao Dian was actually the now famous "Evil Prince"!
"Haha, you must have understood. As long as you defeat Bai Julu, the top spot in the martial arts examination this time will be yours."
The old elder twirled his beard and gave Shi Zhongye a meaningful look.
"laugh!"
The light in Shi Zhongye's eyes turned, he suddenly laughed, leaned back, put his hands on the ground, and returned to his original nonchalant look:
"Elder, of course I am happy to be able to get the position of leader of Wu Xiucai. However, why was I eliminated by Tao in Tianshui County three years ago and ended up empty-handed? Do you all know the reason?"
"Tianshui County" is known as the most powerful and most competitive county in the entire eastern Taiyuan Continent. There are countless talented martial arts wizards, not to mention the Five Holy Lands, and even the nobles of the imperial capital are involved.
Shi Zhongye has always been proud and arrogant, and he also thinks that he has extraordinary talents. But in "Tianshui County", he doesn't feel this way at all. The Shi family's background is not at all advantageous compared with that group of geniuses.
If he hadn't been so frustrated, Shi Zhongye would have come to Langya County, used his family status to get a quota, and participated in the martial arts examination in Langya County.
Ishi Nakano also wanted to defeat the White Giant Deer, but because he had fought against the genius masters of Paektu Mountain and knew the details of the Paektu Mountain, Ishi Nakano knew early on that his hope of defeating the White Giant Deer was slim.
