Luo Shanghao grabbed a piece of firewood and threw it into the bonfire, smiled, and continued:
"Marquis Zhongwu was born in our Taiyuan Continent. He is currently recruiting a large number of people. After all, they are from the same continent, and only people from our Taiyuan Continent can be trusted. So this year's martial arts examinations, from top to bottom, almost all He provides rewards. The richness of the rewards is simply incredible. They are not at the same level as the previous martial arts examination rewards."
"But the reward is a trivial matter. This kind of opportunity to climb the ladder is really rare. Those of us who have a martial arts examination background, if we are lucky, we may be canonized by the imperial court and become ordinary generals in name only. We will fight in the field all our lives. , if you encounter a good opportunity, it may take more than ten years to become a general. But if you want to reach Tianting and get close to the core class of the dynasty, that is also a delusion."
"So you haven't seen that the Five Holy Lands, Mount Paektu, Heishuiya, Red Dragon Cave, and Sheyang Palace...these forces, which usually don't pay much attention to the martial arts examination, are actively participating in it, and they are too active. What do I think? I heard that in some counties and even some that have disappeared for a long time, the very old people who failed in the martial arts examinations in the last term, the last term, or even five or six years earlier have come back to join the army. Come in."
Luo Shanghao said.
"ah!"
Yang Ji was surprised. This was the first time he heard this news.
"Hey, you're surprised."
Luo Shanghao laughed: "This is the first time I heard about △, ww○w. These news are also very surprising. After all, age is an advantage in the Han Dynasty. If you participate even if you are very old, you will only be treated coldly even if you pass the exam. No real power will be given to you, and you will be blocking the way of others."
"So some people know that there is no hope for their official career, and they are determined to be bandits, or join those cruel and ruthless evil organizations. But now, as soon as the incident of Marquis Zhongwu comes out, these people actually come back and take part in the martial arts examination."
Luo Shanghao had a sarcastic look on his face. It was quite sarcastic to think about participating in the martial arts examination together with these murderous demon kings and bandits.
"I don't know how many years it has been since these people left the martial arts examination. Usually outside, they are cruel and domineering people. In the ring, they may not have many hands. They are missing arms and legs, and they are seriously injured and vomiting blood. It’s such a small thing. It’s good if I can give you some time to speak.”
"So during this martial arts examination, if you want to join in the fun as usual, I'm afraid you've made the wrong calculation. This kind of fun is not so easy to join in. The risk is really too great. This time in the martial arts examination, I really I want to participate, but I know that it is not something I can afford."
Luo Shanghao revealed the reason why he gave up and did not take part in the Zhoufu Martial Arts Examination. The competition in Tianshui County is indeed cruel and fierce, but no matter how fierce it is, everyone's background can be found out clearly, and they are all disciples of the sect.
But it's different when you get to Zhoufu. There are three religions and nine schools from all over the world, and there are all kinds of cruel people. Tianshui County is said to be cruel and fierce, but it is far behind those people.
How can a small pond compare to the sea?
Yang Ji was silent, glanced at Luo Shanghao, and frowned deeply. The martial arts examination in Zhoufu must be very fierce, and Yang Ji had been prepared for this. But now it seems that he may have underestimated this year's martial arts examination. Impact.
"One stone stirs up a thousand ripples. I never thought that the incident involving Marquis Zhongwu would have such a huge impact. People eat for wealth, and birds die for food. Come to think of it, I don't know how many people are eyeing this opportunity."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
He had actually known about Marquis Zhongwu for a long time and had heard about it before. But Yang Ji didn't take it too seriously.
Now it seems that the scope of influence of Marquis Zhongwu is far deeper than imagined.
This does not necessarily mean that Marquis Zhongwu himself is so powerful. In the final analysis, it is still about power. Behind Marquis Zhongwu, you can see a corner of the highest decision-making power of the Han Dynasty.
It just opened the curtain a little bit, but it was enough to make countless warriors in the world who longed to rise to prominence and be admired by others crazy!
"Yang Ji, you are very strong. You are enough to compete for the final spot of the martial arts examiner. But don't be careless. You must know that sharks are chasing blood, and now the blood bait has been released. God knows how many giant sharks will be attracted. Those who were last year's
, those from the previous one, and those from a longer time ago. It’s hard to say whether some aristocratic families, generals, and princes who are above the world and usually don’t get involved in these things will send their disciples to participate.”
"Of course it's not worth it just to take refuge with Marquis Zhongwu. But it's completely different when you consider the war military governor. If you can get the appreciation of the three giants of the imperial court, then it will be worth it no matter what you pay. So. Yang Ji, arrived at Zhoufu
Be careful and don't be careless."
At the end of the sentence, Luo Shanghao looked solemn. Yang Ji was similar in age to him, both were martial arts scholars, and they had saved his own life. Luo Shanghao was truly grateful and sincerely wanted to help him.
"Brother Luo, thank you for telling me this. Nothing else to say, thank you very much."
Yang Ji patted Luo Shanghao's shoulder and thanked him. The information revealed by Luo Shanghao really helped him a lot. At least, being prepared and not being prepared are two different things.
Yang Ji was originally planning to end the affairs of Langya County and head to Zhoufu immediately. But now, he must at least advance to the seventh level of martial arts, digest the power of the Great Asura, and make the name of Wuzong worthy of his name.
"Brother Luo, what are your plans after this incident is over?"
Yang Jidao.
Yang Ji killed three people from General Tiele's Mansion, and the news will definitely spread back. If the people from General Tiele's Mansion would not let Luo Shanghao go in the first place, then they will not let him go now.
.
"We can't go back to Tianshui County."
Luo Shanghao was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly dim, but he soon became energetic again:
"When I regain my strength, I will prepare to go to Zhoufu!"
"ah!"
Yang Ji looked surprised. Luo Shanghao was planning to go to Zhou Mansion at this time, which was really beyond expectations:
"I'm afraid the people in General Tiele's mansion have been waiting for you for a long time. Aren't you afraid of throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Hahaha, I was hunted for more than ten days. I almost lost my life here. No matter what, this revenge must be avenged. The martial arts examination is held every three years, and I don't have the confidence like Brother Yang to win the first place.
, I have to wait for three years. After I get my revenge, I can wander outside for a few years and then I will have enough strength. It won’t be too late to take part in the martial arts examination.”
Luo Shanghao said harshly.
This time I made a grudge with someone during the martial arts examination and was chased from Tianshui County to Langya County. This revenge must be avenged no matter what. Since they have already killed me, they are considered to be people from General Tiele's Mansion. I
I have to take action even if I have no choice but to do something."
When Luo Shanghao talked about it later, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He was also born in Tianshui County. He also got to where he is now step by step in various fierce and cruel battles.
If he didn't have some ruthlessness in Tianshui County, he wouldn't be able to survive and survive now. This time, he was chased so fast that he fled thousands of miles and almost buried his bones in the barren mountains.
Such a great hatred must be avenged. The powerful generals in General Tiele's mansion cannot be dealt with, but they can still deal with the third young master.
"That's fine."
Yang Ji was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything. Luo Shanghao would definitely not be able to enter Zhou Mansion now. Needless to say, he would definitely have to dress up. But this is not Yang Ji's business.
It's not too early to look at the sky. Yang Ji is also ready to set off and arrive at Pingchuan City at dawn.
"Brother Luo, there's not much to say. We still need to get ready to go on our way. There are things that need to be dealt with. If we are destined, let's meet in Zhoufu during the martial arts examination."
Yang Ji withdrew his gaze and said, packing his bags and looking ready to go at any time.
"ah!"
Luo Shanghao was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Yang Ji would be on his way at night. However, Yang Ji had already said that he had something to do, so Luo Shanghao couldn't say much.
"Brother Yang, wait a minute!"
Luo Shanghao suddenly stopped Yang Ji. He lowered his head, then suddenly raised it again. He stopped speaking and finally said:
"Thank you for your kindness. Luo is used to intrigues and fierce fights in Tianshui County. Brother Yang is a true gentleman. There is one thing I have never said. In fact, those people are not chasing me just because I am in the ring.
I defeated their third son because I had a treasure map..."
Luo Shanghao said as he took out the tawny piece of cloth from his arms, with a look of shame on his face. There was a war between heaven and man in his heart for a long time, even when he was talking to Yang Ji.
Luo Shanghao originally thought that Yang Ji would ask for something in return for saving him. In Tianshui County, such things are too normal.
However, he didn't expect Yang Ji to take such a big risk to save him. Apart from asking for a few worthless Shenwu Pills, he didn't ask for anything else.
Luo Shanghao originally thought that there could be such a person in the world. But now Yang Jidu is leaving soon. If he arrives in Langya County, it will be even more impossible for him to ask for anything from him.
Luo Shanghao is not that kind of despicable person. The more Yang Ji behaves like this, the more regretful Luo Shanghao becomes. Yang Ji killed people from General Tiele's mansion for him, causing huge trouble. However, he kept on guard and did not tell the truth.
This made Luo Shanghao feel tortured.
"Hahaha……"
Hearing Luo Shanghao's words, Yang Ji burst out laughing:
"I thought it was something. Brother Luo, there's no need to say more. I already knew it. Brother Luo, keep that treasure map for yourself."
Yang Ji and Luo Shanghao made friends, and it was not until this moment that they truly let go of their hearts. Whoosh! As soon as the voice fell, he jumped up and disappeared into the vast night like a bolt of lightning.
Luo Shanghao looked at Yang Ji's disappearing figure in the distance with a complicated look in his eyes.
"I, Luo Shanghao, really used the heart of a villain this time to judge the heart of a gentleman."
After that, he turned around, extinguished the bonfire next to him, and then swept in the other direction.
Under the starlight, the air flow roared, and Yang Ji was flying among the treetops, with a smile on his lips. When the yellow-brown cloth fell out of Luo Shanghao's body, he actually knew clearly.
All the causes and consequences were complete at that moment.
The reason why Luo Shanghao was being hunted was not simple. The treasure map on his body was the key. Only in this way can we explain why when the tawny cloth piece on Luo Shanghao fell out, the junior military commander who was the leader was more powerful than Luo Shanghao.
Be concerned and panic.
Even after killing the leading junior general, Luo Shanghao did not remind himself in time that there were people from General Tiele's Mansion behind him, also because of this hidden treasure.
He did it on purpose!
Yang Ji knew clearly in his heart, that's why his face was so ugly. However, Luo Shanghao grew up in Tianshui County, a place of intrigue and fierce competition, and people are deeply separated from each other. It's not surprising that he would have such thoughts.
So Yang Ji didn't blame him. He always came to his aid when there was an injustice. Being a good person once in a while wasn't a bad thing.
If Luo Shanghao hadn't said those words in the end, he would have told the truth. After today, Yang Ji wouldn't have even looked at him. But when he finally left, he still said it...
"time to go."
Yang Ji raised his head, glanced in the direction of Pingchuan City, and galloped away covered in stars and moon.
