Chapter 126

There are five liberal arts and four martial arts examinations in the martial arts academy. It seems that liberal arts is more important than martial arts, but in fact, although there is one less martial arts examination, its weight is much heavier than liberal arts. You should know that it was when Taizong was in power that the martial arts academy entered the liberal arts examination. Taizu's newly founded martial arts academy has always had only four martial arts.

As the national strength of the great Sui Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and the national base became more and more stable, the emperor gradually paid more attention to the literati. The great Sui Dynasty established the country by force, but it still depended on the literati to govern the country. Wu Fu's rule of the country is only afraid that the more rule, the more chaos. The throne of the great Sui Dynasty was in the hands of Taizong. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, the first thing was to set rules. The martial arts academy must join the Liberal Arts in the examination. Although it was quite controversial at that time, Emperor Taizong insisted on his decision.

Therefore, there was the amazing beauty of Li Xiao's nine doors.

Later, Emperor Taizong's foresight had to be admired. If the students recruited by the martial arts academy were pure martial artists, it would not be a good thing for the army of the great Sui Dynasty and even the country. People with advanced accomplishments are not necessarily generals, but strong generals who can take the head of the general among the thousands of troops, such as searching for things, are only strong generals after all, not handsome talents.

There was no shortage of strong generals in the Sui Dynasty.

But even the liberal arts exam has been accepted. But in the martial arts academy, martial arts achievements are still the most important. For example, Fang Xie's five liberal arts are excellent. In terms of weight, it is definitely not as excellent as the four martial arts, or even as excellent as the three. No matter how good liberal arts is, if you mess up in the martial arts exam, you can be a civilian at most. Although there is an essential difference between civilian officers in the army and civil officials in the imperial court, it is a great pity that they can't lead the army since they join the army.

There is still a lot of water in this achievement. If your majesty didn't cherish his talent and hold Fang Xie with one hand, it would be good if Fang Xie could get three high scores in the liberal arts examination. Knowing this, Fang Xie attaches great importance to the martial arts examination.

Before arriving at the martial arts academy, Fang Xie came out of Changchun Garden. On the night before, the emperor's words at the end of the conversation made Fang Xie even more afraid to slack off.

"Since I've seen you twice, I know you have some skills. But your skills are not enough to make me look up to you and want to have a good future. I'll take a few more excellent ones in the martial arts exam tomorrow. I'm never stingy with rewards. If you have skills, take more from me."

This is not without the intention of being a great general, but it also clearly tells Fang Xie that as long as you show your skills and satisfy me, I will definitely reuse you.

How can Fang Xie miss such an opportunity?

Now that we have come to this world and this era, there is no only the mentality of peace after coming.

Lying on the ground outside the Tucheng in the martial arts arena, he laughed loudly. He looked like a silly boy. At least he proved himself in the martial arts exam. He didn't bother to pay attention to the despised or resentful eyes of those aristocratic children. He only enjoyed his further sense of achievement. Is it not success to be envied?

In fact, the first two of the four martial arts examinations should be considered as one. However, the assessment results still need to be calculated according to two. If you can get two more excellent, there is no suspense about entering the martial arts academy. If Qimen excellence can't guarantee his entry into the martial arts academy, it can only be said that there is no justice in the world.

After lying on the ground and resting for less than half an hour, the professor of the martial arts academy standing on the wall of Tucheng announced the preparation for the third exam.

The third item is riding and shooting.

The war horses raised in the martial arts academy are in the martial arts field, and the wide and flat school field is enough for those candidates to show their riding and shooting skills. Whether or not they have rested from the consumption of the previous two exams, candidates know that they have no right to stay on the ground. Unless they want to give up the exam at this time, as Sui people, they will never make such a choice because of their inherent pride.

You can fail, but you must not give up.

Almost relieved, the crazy man stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled Fang Xie, smiled and said: "Before the exam, I said that our candidates from the military are staring at you. Since your majesty allowed us to take the martial arts academy exam in uniform, no soldier in the top three of the three consecutive exams has squeezed in. Even no soldier can squeeze in the top ten. Although it's not a shame, it's uncomfortable after all."

He pulled up Fang Xie, patted Fang Xie on the shoulder and said with a smile, "try harder, brothers are looking at you!"

"I'm a typical little rich man."

Fang Xie smiled and said, "don't put such a heavy burden on my shoulder. I can't carry it."

"Now, who else can I give if I don't give it to you?"

"Rather than give me a burden, you might as well give me some silver. Speaking of it, silver definitely gives me more power than a burden."

Zhang Kuang looked at the soldiers preparing for the exam and said with some emotion: "In fact, including myself, which candidate of military origin doesn't want to be the hero of attention? Who doesn't want to be an outstanding person admired by everyone? Who doesn't want to squeeze into the top three and write it into the records of the martial arts academy? But now we all know that we have no chance to complete our dreams, you can."

"Fortunately, you are OK. Otherwise, how can we feel comfortable?"

Fang Xie looked at the school yard. He spread his shoulders helplessly and said, "well, although I don't want to be hypocritical... My horse is still in the city for the next assessment."

As soon as this sentence was finished, Fang Xie saw Qiu Yu, the beautiful female professor of the martial arts academy, walking slowly from a distance with his red horse. Zhang Kuang couldn't help laughing, stared at Fang Xie's face and said, "handsome young man, it's still useful to look good. If you can finish the examiner before you finish the exam, this is the real skill that makes your brothers admire you!"

"Fuck off!"

Fang Xie smiled and scolded, slapped the dust on his body and walked towards Qiu Yu.

"Thank you, sir!"

Fang Xie first bowed down and saluted, and then took the reins from Qiu Yu's hand. The red horse seems to be a little uncomfortable with the woman whose eyes are white. When he saw the solution, it was obviously a little excited.

"Well done."

Qiu Yu nodded to Fang Xie, looked at Fang Xie's haggard expression, suddenly smiled and said, "it's my main examiner for a while, and now I'll give you a chance to bribe me. Don't be stingy and make great efforts to open conditions. You should know that the price of buying me will not be cheap."

After a long silence, Fang Xie said tentatively, "there is a stall selling hot noodle dumplings at my door. It's good."

Qiu Yu turned white and left. Fang Xie smiled and scratched his hair. After four or five steps, the beautiful female professor didn't look back or stop. Her voice floated over gently: "tomorrow morning."

"Good!"

Fang Xie nodded hard and giggled.

……

……

Fang Xie has been looking around when preparing for the riding and shooting competition. In fact, he has been looking for it since he arrived at the martial arts academy this morning. When he was looking for that moment, he didn't forget to boast - force him to be honest in front of women. He even feared Xiang qingniu like a quail, because Xiang qingniu said that he was the examiner of this year's martial arts academy exam.

The liberal arts is over, and there are still the last two in the martial arts.

There was no figure of the little fat man, and Fang Xie even doubted whether he had lied again. Before meeting Shen qingfan, Fang Xie didn't think Xiang qingniu was really a great person. When Shen qingfan said that Xiang qingniu invited immortal Xiao, an old Taoist, to send someone to look for him, Fang Xie was really surprised. You should know that Xiang qingniu doesn't match the four words of experts in the world at all. Fang Xie would rather believe that big dog is daozong's great ability than every word Xiang qingniu said.

If it was written by Xiang qingniu, Fang Xie didn't even believe the comma.

Later Fang Xie believed, but Xiang qingniu didn't come.

At least, it hasn't appeared in Fang Xie's sight yet. Therefore, Fang Xie determined that Xiang qingniu was definitely not in the martial arts field, because with the shameless nature, if he were in the martial arts field, he would have come to find Fang Xie deser.

Fang Xie didn't find him, so she was worried.

It must be no small matter that Xiang qingniu can not come to the martial arts arena and miss an opportunity to work hard in front of him. It's not just Xiang qingniu. Fang Xie didn't see anyone wearing Taoist robes in the martial arts field of the martial arts academy today. Since immortal Xiao of Leshan in the Qing Dynasty came down to watch the ceremony in honor of the emperor, why not come?

Fang Xie was worried because he had a vague guess in his heart.

Looking at the candidates gathered at the school yard after they got their horses, Fang Xie shook his head and threw away some messy thoughts in his heart. He raised his hand, stroked the red horse's neck several times, smiled and said, "are you ready?"

The red horse didn't pay attention to it. It seemed that he wanted to find some tender grass to eat in the bare school yard, but it was obviously disappointed, so he despised such a big scene. In the eyes of horses, a lot of people and horses can never compare with a lot of fresh and juicy tender grass.

There is a holy spring mountain outside Chang'an city. The famous holy spring villa is on the holy spring mountain. Shenquan villa is famous for its mellow wine. Even the wine used for your Majesty's banquet is offered by Shenquan villa. Shenquan mountain is not tall and towering. It looks a little similar to langru mountain in the west of fangucheng.

From a distance, the arc of Shenquan mountain is very soft. When people mention mountains, the first impression in their mind is the beauty of majestic breadth and precipitousness, and they rarely think that mountains also have a beautiful side. This Shenquan mountain is a model of the beauty of the mountain.

Shenquan mountain is not far from the martial arts training ground. It takes less than an hour to ride back and forth.

When the martial arts training ground was built, most of the wood and stones used to build Tucheng Tushan were transported from Shenquan mountain, including the large forest in the martial arts training ground, which was transplanted from the mountain, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources.

Shenquan mountain villa is halfway up Shenquan mountain. It is said that it was built in the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty. It was built by the descendants of a general from the Dragon skill when Taizu established the country. The descendants of the general had no intention of official career, but preferred wine making. More than a hundred years later, his descendants no longer have any titles, but the name of Shenquan villa is particularly loud.

The wine pool is in the deepest part of Shenquan mountain villa. In fact, it is a huge cave. The entrance of the cave is small, but it is spacious inside, and the temperature is the most suitable for storing wine. The mountain treasure of Shenquan villa is several jars of old wine that have been stored for decades. It is hidden in this cave. The jar full of wine is now more than half. Of course, no one stole it. It is said that the wine is so thick that it can pull out silk. If you don't enter the wine pool, the aroma of wine can be intoxicating.

While Fang Xie was preparing for the riding and shooting competition, two very special people appeared outside the wine pool of Shenquan villa.

One was a little fat man in a black Taoist robe. He was not old. His chubby face was as white as a new steamed bread. Everyone wanted to reach out and pinch his face.

The other was a priest in a big red Taoist robe. There seemed to be a crack on his forehead. I can't see the specific age. My face is like a knife carved axe chiseled with sharp edges and corners.

Looking at the whole daozong of the great Sui Dynasty, only three people are qualified to wear pure black Daopao. One is immortal Xiao of qingleshan Yiqi temple, the other is immortal Zhang of Wudang Sanqing temple, and the other is naturally a very unreliable fat Taoist Xiang qingniu.

"Is that it?"

Xiang qingniu looked at the cave and asked the big God in red robe standing beside him.

Taoist Hezhen is in charge of observing punishment in one breath. His cold appearance on weekdays is frightening. Coupled with such a noble status as a great God official, it is inevitable that there is some momentum of not being angry and self threatening. But in front of Xiang qingniu, the cold, arrogant and some old-fashioned great God official was very humble and respectful.

"Go back to little martial uncle, it should be here."

Xiang qingniu gave a sound, walked forward a few steps, looked at the cave, cleared his throat and shouted, "listen, the bald donkey inside, you are surrounded. There is no point in resisting tenaciously. If you come out and confess your guilt, you can get your heart out easily. I count to one. If you don't surrender again, I'll let the dog go!"

"Er... Little martial uncle, isn't it too little to count to one?"

"Fool, I won't count backwards from ten?"

"Martial nephew, you are dull..."

"Oh, I - Fuck, when I'm farting?!"

"One!"

This sentence Xiang qingniu didn't say to Taoist crane, but shouted to the cave. He turned around, hooked his fingers and said angrily, "I don't let the dog go. I really think I'm bluffing you to play?"

Behind him, more than a dozen trail boys came up with a very majestic mastiff in their hands. The mastiff dog is very violent. Although those little Taoist children have cultivation achievements, they obviously can't control it.

"Put it in, put it all in!"

Xiang qingniu glanced and said, "the bald donkey is most afraid of dogs. That's what the second senior brother said in those years!"
