The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 408

After the morning of the next day, the promotion match started in full swing.

There are forty arenas in the promotion competition. The losers of defending and fighting have two chances. They can defeat the losers to qualify for the challenge. In short, the cycle of two-two fights eliminated the final 91 people.

Of course, everyone who passed the first round of knockout rounds has a record. Even if these people can't become generals, they are all brave men from the people. With a little training, they can become fire chiefs, captains, and brigade commanders in the army. There are more than enough officers at the grassroots level, and those who have more potential and can read and write will enter Tsinghua Academy for further study, and will be sent to the army one after another in the future to further strengthen the army's combat effectiveness.

Sitting on the throne, Yang Tong felt that there were a lot more audience today than yesterday, and the huge school field was very crowded.Obviously, yesterday's hot scene spread to the streets and alleys, and the people who had nothing to do all braved the severe cold to watch the excitement.

Apart from Feng Li, Li Zhengbao, Xin Liaoer, Yu Zhan, Shi Jin, and the halberd warrior named Gao Yan, Yang Tong found that there were quite a few good seedlings among them. .

After all, the monstrous top military generals only existed by accident. It is impossible for Sui's army to rely on dozens of super generals to support it. The middle-level military officers are the indispensable backbone of an army.

There were too many people in yesterday's knockout match, so Yang Tong couldn't take a closer look at each one, but after the big waves, all those who advanced were capable people, and the fight was naturally more exciting than yesterday.

This vigorous and exciting fighting promotion battle lasted for three days before ending with the sound of gongs and drums, and the next step was the competition of commanding power.

Talented people are easy to shine no matter where they are. There are only five days before and after the fighting, but some people's names are already household names.

For example, the heroic and handsome Gao Yan, with dazzling equipment and tyrannical force, combined with a modest personality, is easy to win the favor of others and has a great reputation in Yecheng.

Then there are Feng Li and Li Zhengbao. In terms of martial arts, they are not the best people, but they are calm and sophisticated, and they have a sense of discipline. If other people have extraordinary potential, then the two of them already have the ability to be independent. Military exploits, after all, the two men had commanded thousands of armies under the command of Li Yuan and Liang Shidu respectively. Even Xin Liaoer, who is a fierce general, did not have such an impressive experience.Not to mention the fledgling Yu Zhan, Shi Jin and Gao Yan.

Apart from Gao, Feng, and Li, it is undoubtedly the domineering Shi Jin who has attracted much attention.

In fact, to say that Shi Jin is domineering is really wronging him. In fact, he is just a person who does not follow the routine.Because of this, the mature and prudent people dislike him, but he is supported by the passionate young people.

In any case, with the end of the fighting, this competition is half the battle.

As for the next battle of commanding power, Yang Tong actually didn't think much of it.It's not that commanding power is not important, but that the scale of this "indoor" military exercise is too small to show everyone's level.

Each of them only brought a hundred soldiers to compete in a pre-arranged complex environment.In this link, advanced warriors are not allowed to slash people with their knives. People like Shi Jin, Xin Liaoer, Gao Yan, Feng Li, Yu Zhan, and Li Zhengbao, if they go up to kill, the opponent's 100 people are not enough Cut alone.

When the commanding power contest was in the third place, Yang Tong unexpectedly saw Murong Ke who had never seen anyone before.Not only came, but also greeted him with a smile, as if none of the previous unhappiness had happened.Judging from the previous two intersections, Murong Ke is not a magnanimous person, but he appeared as if nothing happened at this time. Obviously, he got the benefit of being able to face the "enemy" and be happy to think about it. This benefit must be great It's outrageous, I really don't know what benefits Yi Nan promised him.

It's just that one of them is in the northeast and the other is in the northwest. If they don't pass through the territory of the Sui Dynasty, they have to go around in a big circle. I really don't know what the hell they are doing.But Yang Tong didn't bother to think about it, anyway, he knew that Murong Ke had become a pawn in someone else's hands, but he didn't know it.

All of a sudden, Yang Tong felt more sympathy for Murong Ke. It seemed that the Tianzhu King didn't get through when he ran to Yecheng, and now he didn't know that he was a gun in someone else's hands.

Pitiful.

"Your Majesty, Ling Shangshu sent someone to visit, saying that nearly a hundred martial arts warriors have moved into Yinyuanfang one after another in an irregular manner." Cai Wei hurriedly came to Yang Tong's side, and said in a low voice.

Regardless of whether it was the imperial examination or the martial arts examination, it was normal for the feudal lords and aristocratic families to send some loyalists to lay mines every year. If they didn't send people, Yang Tong would be surprised.But this time there may be quite a few visitors, because the Tianchan Temple where Yang Tan became a monk is located in Yinyuan Temple.

Thinking of this, he still has to thank the few jealous jars at home. If Pei Qinghua was not his old lover, the wives who cared about their children would not be jealous, let alone seriously analyze the key points, and he would not think of Li Mi and Pei. The bureau set up by Shi.The situation has become clear, and the conspiracy is no longer a conspiracy. Ling Jing and the others will handle it well.

Yang Tong thought for a moment, then said, "Tell them a few, don't ask me for everything."

"Here!" Cai Wei bowed and stepped back.

Yang Tong didn't move, but continued to watch the competition on the field. At this time, two teams were fighting in the school field, but after all, it was just a drill, without the heroism of real swords and guns, the two teams seemed to be in the middle of a temporary scene. Yang Tong felt drowsy after watching the movie.

The military exercise is a new thing in the eyes of the audience and the common people, and the atmosphere on the scene is still very enthusiastic.

Yang Tong felt that the very boring match lasted seven days in such an atmosphere. After all, the commander-in-chief competed differently, and it wouldn't be over for half an hour.

Fortunately, except for a very small number of low-level officers, most of the people who came to participate in the competition relied on bravery to win a family background. Not many people have read military books, otherwise, the stalemate will be even longer.

But even so, it took nine days to basically end. Tomorrow will be the finals to determine one general Hu Ben and ten Huya generals. Feng Li, Li Zhengbao, Xin Liaoer, Yu Zhan, Shi Jin, Gao Yan and the others The Sixers are still the favorites for the game.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Yang Tong's life these days is unusually regular and peaceful, but he knows that this is the prelude to the storm, and in this storm, who else has not jumped out?

This afternoon, he returned from the school grounds.While walking, his brain was running at high speed, trying to search for the people he had crossed paths with in his memory.

He wasn't worried about the frontal enemy at all, what he was worried about was the poisonous snake lurking in the dark, if he didn't pull it out and beat him to death, his heart wouldn't settle down.

Suddenly, Yang Tong, who was in deep thought, found that the arrow stopped when he sat down.Looking up, Yang Tong was surprised to find that the Lixian Arrow carried him to a beautiful plum grove, and Luo Shixin, Yin Mingyue and others all gathered around him.

"Where is this?"

"My lord, this is the west foot of Hanling Mountain. It is about two miles away from the official road. If you go northeast, you will reach the west gate of Yecheng." Luo Shixin explained: "Just now, my lord has been meditating, and the last general and others dare not Disturbance. Li Xianjian came here on its own. I thought there was no danger here, and I didn't hinder it."

Yang Tong is quite strange, the psychic off-string arrow shouldn't go the wrong way.Looking carefully, there are many plum trees on the snow-capped snow, all of which look like a century-old thing, with twigs like iron and faint fragrance floating shadows
"Your Majesty, there is a Qingyun Taoist temple here. I heard that there is a female crown in it who is very good at fortune-telling. She is deeply respected by the people. It is said that she can break yin and yang, and the way of tomorrow. She has the ability to be unpredictable. I know that there is a past life in this life." A school captain said in awe.

"Is it really so powerful?" Yang Tong became even more curious. Such a person must be a strange person. The so-called breaking Yin and Yang can be understood as observing the weather. Liu Xuan and the deceased Liu Zhuo both knew this kind of skill, especially Liu Zhuo. The "Almanac" written by him is an astronomical work with extremely high gold content.But being able to know the theory of people's past life and present life is a bit evil. Yang Tong is dubious about this thing, but his master master Zhang Qiu Taiyi doesn't believe it.

"Anyone who falls for her will be judged. It's a pity that this female crown only looks at predestined people. If she is not a predestined person, she will not look at it."

"That's interesting." Yang Tong said with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, "Mingyue, change your equipment. Let's go meet this goddess for a while."

"Here." Yin Mingyue responded, and took out a bundle from her side.

Slightly disguised as Yang Tong, he led a group of people into the plum forest, and it suddenly became clear to him that there was a corner of the eaves in the jungle, and an ancient Taoist temple was hidden in it.At this time, the snow stopped suddenly, and the Taoist temples reflected in the green trees were all bathed in the rose-red glow after the snow.

There is the sound of gurgling water in my ears, presumably there is a stream behind the forest.

Before the Taoist temple.

A censer, with a faint white smoke, exudes a faint fragrance.

Following that, the off-string arrow on the other side started to walk again. When it reached the incense burner, it stopped walking.

When Yang Tong saw the rising white smoke and the abnormality of the off-string arrow, he showed a clear expression. When he looked at Yinmingyue, the latter's eyes also looked at Yang Tong from the white smoke. There is also a look of vigilance and teasing in the middle.

Yang Tong said softly, "It's more interesting!"

"Indeed." Yin Mingyue's phoenix eyes began to turn cold, and the big Luo Shixin didn't notice anything unusual, but the two of them saw the flaws from some details.

Normally burning incense, the smoke is generally blue, and white smoke, which means that the burning thing has water vapor, and the incense candle is abnormally dry, so where is the white smoke?Obviously, someone poured water on the incense burner in the censer.

The Lixian Arrow is unusually psychic, and usually does not wander around, but this time it entered a side road inexplicably. Judging from its standing in front of the incense burner, it was obvious that someone used this fragrance to lure it.

After the two communicated silently, they looked at the gate of the Taoist temple at the same time.

I saw a Taoist nun in fluttering blue clothes standing in the wind, but I saw that this Taoist nun had a beautiful appearance, picturesque eyebrows, and a pair of clear eyes as bright as dawn streams.The skirts of her body fluttered in the wind, and her whole body seemed to be filled with a sense of immortality, like a peerless fairy girl who does not eat fireworks.

First tempt the horse with the Wonderful Incense.

No matter how fragrant the big beauty is, it is tempting.

This method is absolutely impossible.

Yang Tong waved and said, "Go back to the city."
