Before going to the martial arts academy, Fang Xie went to Sanjin Houfu first. He asked Mu Xiaoyao and Qilin to live in Sanjin Hou's house with the injured Shen qingfan and big dog. He specifically told the four of them not to go out these days, and then took out the red horse that had been put in Sanjin Hou's house. After going out and getting on the horse, he waved his hands to Mu Xiaoyao and said that I would go to the martial arts academy to hit others in the face. Don't you have anything to bless?
Shen qingfan smiled and said, "don't be beaten in the face.".
The big dog said I wish you a swollen hand.
Fang Xie shook her head and smiled, hiding the lingering uneasiness in her heart. To tell the truth, whether such a major turning point in life can be fully controlled is definitely a great test for fangxie. He has confidence, but confidence doesn't mean he's not worried at all.
There are only two kinds of people who are confident without worrying. First, they are so powerful that they ignore all enemies. Second, idiot.
Obviously, Fang Xie does not belong to either of these two.
Mu Xiaoyao pointed to Fang Xie's sitting horse, hesitated for a moment and asked, "are you going to ride this red horse to the martial arts academy?"
Fang Xie nodded.
Mu Xiaoyao asked again, "aren't you afraid of being too conspicuous?"
Fang Xie said with a smile, "today may have been a high-profile day for me, but I want to keep a low profile. But I'm afraid I can be caught when I get into the crack of people today. Then I just ride a high horse and let those who want to look at me enjoy it. I planned to hang a card in my heart and write that I was Fang Xie. Later, I didn't do it when I thought it was a bit like a prostitute."
With these words, Fang Xie turned and left. Mu Xiaoyao and others watched until his figure disappeared. Qilin couldn't help worrying and asked big dog, "Fang Xie really doesn't need us to follow?"
"Can we follow?"
The big dog asked with a smile.
After thinking for a long time, Qilin seriously replied, "except for those who don't like fangxie, we can't help..."
The big dog said seriously, "it's a manual job."
Qilin didn't understand, but Shen qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao glanced at the big dog at the same time, scolded him shamelessly, and then turned around and left. They had never shared such a bitter hatred. Qilin didn't understand what big dog said and asked persistently, "brother dog, what do you mean? Why are they leaving? Why are they still doing manual work?"
The big dog patiently explained: "Now there are too many people in Chang'an who don't like Fang Xie. There are too many to count. You just said that if anyone doesn't like Fang Xie, we'll do it. We can do it, and they can't do it. Think again, there are so many people. It's not physical work. I guess you'll become me tomorrow."
Qilin thought for a while and had an epiphany.
He glared at the big dog: "hooligans are shameless!"
The big dog tilted his mouth and said, "just kidding, you'll say I'm a rogue. Fang Xie didn't run to peek at widow sun's bath when he was in fan Gu. Why didn't you say he was a rogue?"
Qilin replied, "although I wasn't in fangucheng with you, I'm sure that you must have encouraged Fang Xie to peek at the widow sun's bath. Moreover, you asked him to step on your shoulder to peek."
The big dog said solemnly: "how is it possible? Every time I climb up the wall first and then drag Fang Xie up..."
Fan Gu
When he said this, the big dog suddenly stopped, and his face became a little ugly. He thought of the small town and the people in the small town. Although he hid with Mu Xiaoyao in Fang Xie's room most of the time and rarely went out, he also liked the simplicity and kindness of the people in fan Gu. He liked the wine and meat of fan Gu and the white breast of widow sun, but this No longer exists.
"What's the matter?"
Qilin saw him suddenly silent and asked.
"Nothing."
The big dog smiled and shook his head: "Kirin, can you do me a favor?"
"What's up?"
"Help me go out and buy some paper money."
"Ah?!"
Qilin was shocked and said, "Fang Jie, you have to burn paper for today's exam?"
The big dog was stunned and then smiled and scolded: "If you let little Fang Xie know that you have to fight with me, I want to burn paper for some old friends. They all died after Fang Xie and I left fan Gu. Fang Xie has been thinking about it. I wanted to burn some paper money for them a while ago. Fang Xie was silent for a while and said, forget it. They can't receive paper money after burning it all the way. But I know that Fang Xie is more worried than me Uncomfortable. "
"Why did you suddenly think of burning paper for your old friends today?"
Qilin asked.
The big dog said word by word: "I burned them for fangxie. I hope they can receive... The spirit in heaven, bless fangxie."
Qilin was stunned, then nodded vigorously: "I'll buy it and buy a car of paper money back!"
……
……
The martial arts academy is located in Nancheng, or rather the southwest corner of Chang'an city. It is not far from the Qianzhao gate. Thirty miles from the Qianzhao gate, it is the martial arts academy. When Emperor Taizu established the martial arts academy, its scale was much smaller than it is now. With the growing strength of the Sui Dynasty, there were more and more students in the Academy. The Academy was too small to be built With so many people, the martial arts academy has been expanded five times since Taizong.
When the first emperor was in power, because the martial arts academy needed to deduce the array, it began to build a martial arts field outside the city, which lasted five years. The martial arts field covers a huge area, and there are all kinds of earth mountains, dense forests, rivers, small lakes and earth cities. Many courtiers once wrote to the emperor to move the whole martial arts academy to the martial arts arena, so that students don't have to travel back and forth. But the former Emperor didn't promise, nor did the current emperor.
The two emperors answered the ministers exactly the same, but they were incomprehensible.
"The martial arts academy in Chang'an city is the martial arts academy. The martial arts academy out of Chang'an city is not the martial arts academy."
That's not reasonable.
No matter where the martial arts academy is, it is the martial arts academy of the great Sui Dynasty. But the emperor refused, and the ministers had no choice. Later, it was speculated that, or because more than a thousand students in the martial arts academy were young talents from the Sui Dynasty, the emperor was worried that in case of any accident, the martial arts academy would not be in Chang'an, the strongest city in the world, and could not afford to lose.
But this view was soon overturned.
Not to mention that it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade the great Sui Dynasty, it is even more difficult to get close to Chang'an city. Even if the foreign enemy invades, can't we get any news in the martial arts field outside the city? Can't the students be withdrawn into the city?
There was much discussion, but no one could change the emperor's decision.
The martial arts academy must stay in the city, which has become the insistence of successive emperors that they will never change.
There is a darker speculation, which people think is most practical. This speculation suggests that the emperor was actually worried about an accident in the city. The students in the martial arts academy are the elite of the Sui Dynasty. These people are loyal to the emperor. Once something happens in Chang'an City, the students in the martial arts academy are a powerful force to protect the emperor. If these more than a thousand students gather together, the combat effectiveness of the outbreak can never be underestimated.
When Fang Xie reached the street where the martial arts academy was located, it was already overcrowded. All kinds of carriages are kept out of the street. Candidates must walk to the martial arts academy. The forbidden army set up defenses on both sides of the street. The sword is out of the scabbard and the arrow is stringed. Once there is any trouble, it can be stopped immediately.
At this time, Chang'an government will also send a large number of officers to join hands with the urban defense army and the forbidden army to maintain order. Because most people come on foot, the solution riding a red horse is particularly conspicuous. When he rode from a distance, he immediately attracted many people's ideas.
"Who is that man? Why is he so arrogant? Most of the candidates came on foot. Even those of noble origin got off the carriage far away. This man came all the way on a horse. It seems that he is going to ride into Xuanwu Street."
"It doesn't seem to be the children of some famous family. Look at that shabby border army uniform!"
"Among the border troops, Mo Xidao from Phoenix, Zhang Kuang from Anyuan City, Wang Wei from Baishui City, and a Fang Xie from fan Gu in the northwest. Mo Xidao, the three of them should be at least twenty-eight or seventy-eight years old, maybe thirty or forty years old. Looking at the appearance of this young man, is it the Fang Xie summoned by his Majesty in Changchun Garden?"
"Even if you have been summoned by your majesty, what can you do? You come here on horseback with a proud attitude, and you don't have any real talent. Look at Cui Pingzhou of the Cui family, Pei Chuxing of the Pei family, and Xie Fuyao, the famous son of the Xie family in Jiangnan. Who didn't come here on foot?"
"Yes, it's too crazy!"
Anyway, Fang Xie is really high-profile this time. He rode the tall red horse slowly in the crowd. Although he smiled, he looked a little condescending. And his border army clothes are too humble, which makes many people uncomfortable with the strong contrast.
Just as Fang Xie was approaching the corner of Xuanwu Street, he was suddenly stopped.
"Fang Xie!"
Fang Xie looked back and saw that it was the madness of Anyuan city who quickly caught up with him.
He quickly dismounted, hugged Zhang Kuang and said, "I've seen brother Zhang."
"You're really eye-catching. I watched you ride this tall horse all the way from a distance. You didn't hear you calling you several times. How are you? Are you better?"
Zhang Kuang asked with a smile.
"Thanks to elder brother Zhang's concern, it's all right. It made everyone laugh when he fainted in Kesheng Curie that day."
"A joke!"
Zhang Kuang punched him on the shoulder and said, "after that day, who will mention your name without picking your thumb? You can not be bound in Mr. Zhuo's famous prison in the bodyguard's office. I'm afraid you can't find many people in Chang'an. You've won enough face for our border army. Brothers admire you very much!"
Fang Xie blushed slightly and said with a slightly shy smile, "it's too reckless to know heaven and earth."
"By the way, I heard that brother Mo was directly selected into the martial arts academy. There is no need to take the exam?"
Fang Xie asked.
Zhang Kuang looked around and said in a low voice, "the imperial court owes him that. Your majesty also said that on that day, in terms of military skills, brother Mo would not be too much even if he was granted another general. He had outstanding military skills when he was at Fenghuang platform. In addition, if the imperial court did not give an explanation, I'm afraid it would chill the hearts of many people."
"Anyway, congratulations."
As he was saying this, Fang Xie saw Mo Xidao stride towards him.
"Brother Fang, brother Zhang, I'm here to cheer you on!"
……
……
"Brother Mo, what happened to Wang Ding?"
Fang Xie and Mo Xidao went side by side, ignoring the advice of others.
"It's said that his majesty ordered Wang Ding to take away his title, and even his father's official position was taken away. Wang Ding tried to murder meritorious officials of the Sui Dynasty because he was disrespectful to the relics of the Taizu. He was taken by Dali temple. It is said that the Imperial Envoys who went to the south of the Yangtze River have set off. It's not easy to touch the Wang family this time."
Mo Xidao touched his scar face and said with a smile, "what a fucking relief!"
"Where's Wang Wei?"
Fang Xie asked again.
Hearing the name, Mo Xidao's eyebrows flashed a strong disgust: "don't mention that guy. I don't know why he wasn't severely punished, but he was disqualified from taking the test of the martial arts academy. It should be back to Baishui city from the travel rate to the vice president of the team."
"He deserves it!"
Zhang Kuang scolded: "this kind of thing that forgets righteousness for profit is not worthy to wear our border army clothes at all!"
Fang Xie smiled and said, "Your Majesty should be reading his credit."
When Fang Xie said this, he couldn't help sighing. The Jiangnan Wang family must be unlucky this time. Although the Wang family has not produced any dignitaries in recent years, the details of the aristocratic family for hundreds of years are still there. Although you can't occupy a place in the court, you have a rich family. It's the time when the imperial court needs a lot of money. Your majesty just took advantage of this reason to take away all the wealth of the Wang family. Although it can't be estimated how much wealth it is, it should also play a certain role in the war.
It can be seen how much your majesty saw this western expedition.
In order to subsidize the national treasury, he did not hesitate to fight against a family like the Wang family that had gradually declined.
Just thinking about these things, suddenly a woman in the crowd screamed like a flower maniac: "look, look, young master Xie Fuyao in Jiangnan is over there! So handsome and elegant!"
"Young master Xie, look here."
Immediately several women shouted.
Fang Xie looked along the eyes of those flower crazy women. He saw a young man in a long white shirt standing not far away. He was talking to several companions. When he heard the women shouting, Mr. Xie turned his head here, then hugged his fist and looked elegant.
"Shit"
Zhang Kuang looked at Xie Fuyao, patted Fang Xie on the shoulder, lowered his voice and scolded: "an embroidered pillow. How can I look at it? It's not as handsome as you!"
Although the voice was low, it was heard by those flower crazy women. Immediately, several pairs of angry eyes looked at Zhang Kuang and Fang Xie. Fang Xie looked at the women's hate expression and couldn't help sighing: "I said brother Zhang, don't help me pull hate, OK?"
