Yang Ji clamped his legs, ignored these people, and ran straight towards the exit.
Everyone behind him looked at Yang Ji's back with complicated expressions.
"Who is this guy?"
A voice murmured to itself, expressing everyone's thoughts.
Although everyone originally stood with Yang Ji, they didn't really think anyone was that powerful. However, at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Yang Ji's figure suddenly became taller and full of mystery.
"Walk!"
Everyone rushed up without saying anything, and the atmosphere became quite silent.
After walking along the winding mountain road for thirty miles, we finally arrived at the exit of Shuangji Ridge.
"drive!--"
Not far from the intersection of Shuangji Ridge, there was a sound like a thunderstorm behind me, smoke and dust billowing in the blink of an eye, and several horsemen and horses came rolling in at lightning speed.
"Hurry up! Black Wind Bandit, Black Wind Bandit..."
"We are ambushed!"
"Those bastards! Bastards!——"
…
A group of people with bloodstains on their bodies and their eyes broken, fled from the direction of the fork in the road. Their expressions were frightened, angry, and extremely sad and indignant.
"It's them!"
Han Bin was startled and quickly turned his horse's head to greet him. The others only hesitated for a moment and also came forward to greet him.
"It's you! Those people...those people are not going to take part in the scientific examination at all, they are the Black Wind Bandits!"
Six or seven people recognized Han Bin and stepped forward to greet him. All of them were out of breath.
"Being ambushed, being ambushed..."
The group of people were extremely sad and angry. Their chests, backs, arms and thighs were cut to pieces in many places, and blood flowed freely. Even Han Bin and others couldn't bear to see them.
In the intermittent narration of several people, everyone finally knew what happened. It turned out that they were ambushed after entering the fork in the road. The ones who were attacked first were the blood-stained ones who claimed to be ambushed in "Two Bun Ridges"
Several of the "survivors" were caught off guard and killed on the spot.
Then the Black Wind Pirates quickly came out from the woods on both sides of the road. Without preparation, everyone suffered heavy losses.
If it hadn't been for some students coming from behind who were rushing to take the exam, and everyone worked together to rush out, I'm afraid the whole army would have been wiped out long ago.
Although those who can participate in this "Martial Arts Examination" are not weak, but can reach the tenth level, and even the martial arts realm are people with extraordinary ambitions, but receiving such a blow all of a sudden has a huge impact on everyone, both physically and mentally.
A big impact.
Some people talked about the brutality of the battle and even couldn't help but shed tears. They kept angrily calling the "Black Wind Pirates" bastards, despicable and shameless...
However, after he finished speaking like a catharsis, he found that although Han Bin and others were somewhat sympathetic, they did not look very shocked.
"What? You...you already know?"
The group of people looked at Han Bin and others in shock and confusion.
"This..., we do already know. Those people, including those people, are the Black Wind Bandits!"
Han Bin hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.
The fork in the road fell silent for an instant, and the six or seven "students" who escaped didn't even forget to curse, but looked at the four in front of them in shock.
"Do you know? How is it possible!——"
Several people had incredible expressions on their faces.
They had just escaped from the ambush of the "Black Wind Bandits". It was impossible for anyone to know earlier than them, unless... they were in the same group as the Black Wind Bandits.
"Don't get me wrong, we do know. But it's not what you think."
Han Bin said everything he knew:
"You all misunderstood him at the beginning. He was actually saving you, but none of you believed him! That path was wrong from the beginning, and it was not the one you wanted to take at all."
"!!!"
The group of people were stunned. Even when corpses were strewn all over the ground after being ambushed by Black Wind Bandits, they had never been so shocked.
When you have just chosen a "path" of your own, and the other party already knows your fate before this path has even officially started, this feeling is indescribable.
"Don't blame him. He did his best under the circumstances. Moreover, even if he said it, would you really believe it? Not only would that not help the matter, but it would endanger himself."
Han Bin said, with some sympathy in his eyes.
The path is chosen by oneself, one thought is heaven, the other thought is hell. Seeing the miserable condition of these people, he was somewhat glad that he chose the same path as Yang Ji.
"Humph! Don't feel wronged. Think about how you reacted when he asked you to go with him! If something goes wrong at this time, you want to blame it on him. Are you ashamed?"
The dark-faced young man spoke less politely and directly exposed his wounds.
Several "students" who were stained with blood and seriously injured were originally excited after hearing Han Bin's words, with blood-red eyes and angry faces. But at this time, after hearing the words of the young man Li Hei, they all fell silent, and the anger in their eyes disappeared.
It faded a lot.
Indeed, when I heard that Yang Ji could "save" them but did not take action, I felt really angry. But think about it carefully, when those few disguised as "black bandits" infiltrated among them and insulted Yang Ji
, they often looked on with cold eyes and took pleasure in others' misfortunes.
Although everyone didn't curse, the way they looked at Yang Ji was almost as if they were scolding, as if they were looking at a fool, full of ridicule. If something happened at this time, who could be blamed?
"where is he?"
A seriously injured "student" said, seeing Han Bin and the dark-faced boy looking at each other, he immediately explained:
"Don't worry, we don't want to cause trouble for him."
Call!
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and were about to introduce Yang Ji, but when they turned around, there was no one behind them. Yang Ji had left at some point.
"Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person, and his behavior style is also different from ordinary people."
The dark-faced young man saw this and smiled, then turned around and said:
"Don't worry, the martial arts examination is in Pingchuan City, and we will all meet sooner or later. As for what happened here, don't even think about going back to take revenge. It's just a matter of impulse, and the power of Green Forest is not something we can fight against. The top priority is to inform the court.
, let the imperial court come forward to resolve this matter."
"Well, that's all it can do."
Everyone nodded.
The military power of the Han Dynasty was grand. Although the information in the border areas was limited, it was not as good as the hinterland of the dynasty. However, the "Martial Arts Examination" was held every three years, which was of great importance.
If something like this happened to a "student" on his way to take the exam, it was impossible for the court not to step in and deal with it.
Although the "Black Wind Pirates" are powerful, they are still just like chickens and dogs in front of the imperial court.
"drive!"
Everyone grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away...
…
Yang Ji only listened for a while and left "Twin Bun Ridge". Compared with other people participating in the "Martial Arts Examination", his time was too tight.
"Only the last bit of time left."
Yang Ji increased the Black Tiger's speed to the extreme and headed towards Pingchuan City at lightning speed. Unknowingly, after dozens of miles, he saw a magnificent city with yellow bricks and gold tiles, standing tall in the sky.
On the far side of the earth, outside the city there was a huge flow of people, busy traffic, and a prosperous scene.
"This is Pingchuan City!"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised.
This was the first time he had arrived in Pingchuan City. The majestic and spectacular scenery dwarfed the Jin'an City where Yang Ji lived, and was as simple as a rural area.
At the city gate and on the city walls, you can see the soldiers of the Han Dynasty in bright gray and angry armor everywhere. They are full of energy and majestic. Looking from a distance, their eyes are sharp, like swords and arrows, which makes people secretly angry.
cold.
And inside Pingchuan City, there was no telling how many martial arts masters were lurking. From a long distance away, Yang Ji could feel a strong stream of blood spitting out from Pingchuan City, and the entire city seemed to be burning.
"When I was in the clan before, I heard that the general from Pingchuan City was as powerful as the sea and as powerful as the sea. He once shook the earth apart with one kick and tore away more than two hundred armored imperial soldiers. He was so fierce that
His blood energy can even melt the gold and iron on his hands, but he doesn’t know whether it’s true or not.”
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
There are many legends about the general who guarded Pingchuan City in the Benlong area. Some said that he offended powerful people in the inner circle of the imperial court, and some said that he was ostracized by his colleagues. All the rumors are aimed at explaining one thing: this general is extremely low-key, and
His whereabouts are elusive and he rarely appears in Pingchuan City, so the chance of seeing him is not very high.
But one thing is unquestionable. This general is decisive in killing, arbitrary and extremely powerful. His greatest achievement was the annihilation of a powerful cult in the border area eight years ago. At that time, the army encircled and suppressed, and there were hundreds of people.
, a total of seven to eight thousand cult followers, from the leader to the cult followers, were all killed.
Even some stupid and ignorant ordinary people who had just joined were killed. During that siege, the entire Pingchuan City was as silent as a cicada.
From then on, no one dared to talk about the general behind his back in private!
——The Han Dynasty was so strict in its suppression of evil cults!
Yang Ji calmed down and got off the black tiger.
"Let's go!"
Yang Ji patted Black Tiger's back, accepted "Xiao Ji", and then walked towards the city.
After all, a ferocious beast is a ferocious beast, and its ferocious nature has not been lost. Although Yang Ji subdued it with Xiao Ji, it is still far from taming the wild surname. Moreover, the black tiger is carnivorous, and Yang Ji does not have that much thought to find food for it.
.
"Roar!"
The black tiger roared, then turned around and ran into the vast mountains...
…
After passing through the city gate controlled by soldiers, what appeared in front of us was a stretch of tall and majestic houses, clean and spacious bluestone streets, restaurants with flags fluttering, wine shops, and young men in colorful clothes galloping through the streets... However, Yang Ji
Without much thought for appreciation, Yang Ji finally asked where the imperial court registered scholars after stopping several people.
"I hope it's not too late."
Yang Ji felt anxious and hurried towards the place where the imperial register was registered.
Facing the street on the east side of Pingchuan City, in front of an antique archway, there is a rectangular table with a banner reading "Wen Yizheng Dao" next to it. However, the wicker chairs behind it are empty.
"nobody!"
When Yang Ji saw this scene, his heart felt cold.
In order to facilitate students, and also because the liberal arts office is too small, the "liberal arts examination" places the registration place on the street, where students coming and going can register. However, it is now empty, and there is no civil service official anywhere.
