- Chapter 113: Martial Arts Test (1)
Before going to the Yanwu Academy, Fang Jie first went to the Sanjin Houfu. He asked Mu Xiaoyao and Qilin to move into the Sanjin Houfu with Shen Qingshan and Da Quan, who were still injured. He specifically told the four of them not to go out for the next few days, and then put the four of them who had been kept in the Sanjinhoufu. The red horse was brought out. After he went out and mounted the horse, he waved his hands to Mu Xiaoyao and the four of them and said, "I went to the martial arts academy to slap others in the face. Don't you have anything to wish me well?"
Shen Qingshan smiled and said, don't get slapped in the face.
The big dog said I wish you a swollen hand.
Fang Jie shook his head and smiled, hiding the lingering anxiety in his heart. To be honest, whether such a major turning point in life can be fully controlled is definitely a great test for Fang Jie. He is confident, but confidence does not mean he is not worried at all.
There are only two types of people who are blindly confident without worrying. One is those who are so powerful that they ignore all enemies. Second, idiot.
?Obviously, Fang Jie does not belong to either of the two.
Mu Xiaoyao pointed at the war horse Fang Jie sat on, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you going to just ride this red horse to the martial arts academy?"
Fang Jie nodded.
Mu Xiaoyao asked again: "Aren't you afraid of being too conspicuous?"
Fang Jie said with a smile: "Today may have been a day for me to keep a high profile, but I want to keep a low profile. But I'm afraid that I will be caught out if I get in between people today, so I'll just go there on a big horse. If you want to look at me, you can watch it. I originally planned to put a sign on my heart and write "I am Fang Jie", but then I thought it looked like a prostitute, so I didn't do it. "
After saying this, Fang Jie turned around and left. Mu Xiaoyao and others watched him until he disappeared before turning back. Qilin couldn't help but asked the big dog worriedly: "Fang Jie really doesn't need us to follow him?"
"Can we follow along?"
The big dog asked with a smile.
After thinking for a long time, Qilin replied seriously: "Except for whoever doesn't like Fang Jie, we'll give him a damn, why can't we really help"
The big dog said equally seriously: "This is physical labor."
Qilin didn¡¯t understand, but Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiaoyao glanced at Big Dog at the same time, cursed shamelessly and turned around to leave. They had never shared the same hatred. Qilin didn't understand the meaning of Big Dog's words and asked persistently: "Brother Dog, what do you mean? Why are they two leaving? Why are they still doing manual labor?"
Da Quan explained patiently: "There are too many people in Chang'an City who dislike Xiao Fang Jie, too many to count. You just said that we will fuck anyone who dislikes Fang Jie. This Only the two of us can do it, and they can't do it. Think about it again, there are so many people, what the hell is this physical work? If you do it from beginning to end, you will be a success tomorrow. I¡¯m in shape now.¡±
Qilin thought for a while and had an epiphany.
He glared hard at the big dog: "Shameless gangster!"
Big Dog curled his lips and said, "Just kidding, you guys are calling me a hooligan. When Fang Jie was in Fan Gu, he often went to peek at Widow Sun taking a bath. Why didn't any of you call him a hooligan?"
Qilin replied: "Although I was not in Fan Gucheng with you, I am certain that it was you who instigated Fang Jie to peek at that Widow Sun taking a bath. Moreover, it was you who probably asked him to step on you. Peeking over the shoulder.¡±
The big dog said righteously: "How is it possible? Every time I climb up the wall first and then drag Fang Jie up"
Fan Gu
When he said this, the big dog suddenly stopped, and his expression turned a little ugly. He thought of that small town and the people in that small town. Although he hid in Fang Jie's room with Mu Xiaoyao most of the time and rarely went out, he also liked the simplicity and kindness of Fan Gu people. He liked Fan Gu's wine and meat, and Widow Sun's white breasts, but all these things no longer existed.
"What's wrong?"
Qilin asked when he saw that he suddenly became silent.
"Nothing."
The big dog smiled and shook his head: "Qilin, can you help me?"
"What's up?"
"Help me go out and buy some paper money."
"ah?!"
Qilin was shocked and said: "Fang Jie is taking the exam today, and you actually want to burn paper?"
The big dog was startled, then laughed and cursed: "If these words let little Fang Jie know that he has to fight with me, I will burn the paper to some old friends. They all died unexpectedly after Fang Jie and I left Fan Gu, Fang Jie has been thinking I was thinking about it. A while ago, I wanted to burn some paper money for them. Fang Jie was silent for a while and said it was better to forget it. They were thousands of miles away and they couldn't receive the paper money, but I knew.I understand that I feel worse than I do. "
"Then why did you suddenly think of burning paper for your old friends today?"
Qilin asked.
The big dog said word by word: "I gave it to them for Fang Jie, I hope they can receive itthe spirit in heaven, bless Fang Jie."
Qilin was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I'll go buy it and come back with a cart full of paper money!"

The Yanwu Academy is located in Nancheng, the southwest corner of Chang'an City to be precise. It's not far from Qianzhaomen, and thirty miles from Qianzhaomen out of the city is the martial arts arena. When Emperor Taizu established the Martial Arts Academy, the scale was much smaller than it is now. As the national power of the Great Sui Dynasty became stronger and stronger, more and more students were enrolled in the Yanwu Academy. The original martial arts academy was too small to accommodate so many people. Since Taizong, the martial arts academy has been expanded five times.
When the late emperor was on the throne, the martial arts academy began to build a martial arts arena outside the city because of the need for the formation formations, which lasted five years. The martial arts arena occupies a huge area, with mountains of earth, dense forests, rivers, small lakes, and earthen cities where manpower has accumulated. Many courtiers once petitioned the emperor to move the entire martial arts academy to the martial arts arena so that students would not have to travel back and forth. But the late emperor did not agree, and neither did the current emperor.
The two emperors gave exactly the same answers to their ministers, but they were both incomprehensible.
"The Yanwu Academy in Chang'an City is the Yanwu Academy, and the Yanwu Academy outside Chang'an City is not the Yanwu Academy."
This is so unreasonable.
No matter where the martial arts academy is, it is the martial arts academy of the Sui Dynasty. But the emperor refused, and the ministers had no choice. Later, some people speculated that perhaps because the thousands of students in the Yanwu Academy were young talents from the Sui Dynasty, the emperor was worried that if something unexpected happened, the Yanwu Academy was not in Chang'an, the strongest city in the world, and could not afford the loss.
But this view was quickly overturned.
Not to mention that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky for foreign enemies to invade the Sui Dynasty, and it is even more difficult to get close to Chang'an City. Even if a foreign enemy invades, won't there be news in the martial arts arena outside the city? Can't the students be withdrawn into the city?
There were many discussions, but no one could change the emperor's decision.
It has become an unchangeable insistence of successive emperors that the Martial Arts Academy must remain in the city.
There is a darker speculation, which people think is the most realistic. This speculation holds that the emperor was actually worried about something happening in the city. The students in the Yanwu Academy were all elites of the Sui Dynasty, and these people were loyal to the emperor. Once something happens in Chang'an City, the students in the Yanwu Academy will be a very powerful force to protect the emperor. If these more than a thousand students gather together, the fighting power they can unleash cannot be underestimated.
When Fang Jie arrived outside the street where the Yanwu Academy was located, the place was already overcrowded. All kinds of horse-drawn carriages are parked outside the main street and are not allowed to approach. Candidates must walk to the Martial Arts Academy. The Forbidden Army set up defenses on both sides of the street, with their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, so that if there was any trouble, they could stop it immediately.
Every time at this time, the Chang'an Mansion will dispatch a large number of officials to join forces with the city defense army and the Forbidden Army to maintain order. Precisely because most people came on foot, Fang Jie, who was riding a red horse, stood out. When he came from a distance on horseback, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Who is that person? Why are you so arrogant? Most of the candidates came on foot. Even those with noble births mostly got off the carriage far away. This person actually came all the way on horseback. It seemed that he was going to It¡¯s like riding a horse into Xuanwu Street.¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t look like he is a child of a famous family, look at that shabby frontier army uniform!¡±
"Among the frontier troops this year, the most famous ones are Mo Xidao from Phoenix Terrace, Zhang Kuang from Anyuan City, Wang Wei from Baishui City, and Fang Jie who is said to be from Fangu in the northwest. Mo Xidao and the other three are at least He must be in his twenties or seventies, maybe in his thirties or forties. Judging from the appearance of this young man, could he be the Fang Jie who was summoned by His Majesty in Changchun Garden? "
"So what if he is summoned by His Majesty? He came on horseback with an arrogant attitude, and it is not expected that he has any real talents. Look at Cui Pingzhou of the Cui family, Pei Chuxing of the Pei family, and the famous Jiangnan Xie family's son Xie Fuyao, who didn¡¯t come here on foot?¡±
"That's right, this is too arrogant!"
No matter what, Fang Jie is really high-profile this time. He rode the tall red horse slowly among the crowd. Although he was smiling, he looked a little condescending. And the border army uniform he wore was too humble, and this strong contrast made many people uncomfortable.
Just when Fang Jie was approaching the intersection of Xuanwu Street, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Fang Jie!"
Fang Jie looked back and saw Zhang Kuang from Anyuan City quickly chasing him.
He quickly dismounted, clasped his fists at Zhang Kuang and said, "I've seen Brother Zhang."
"You are really eye-catching. I saw you riding this tall horse all the way here from afar. I called you several times, but you didn't even hear me. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Zhang Kuang asked with a smile.
¡°Thanks to Brother Zhang¡¯s concern, I¡¯m fine now. I fainted that day in Keshengju, which made everyone laugh.¡±
¡°What a joke!¡±
Zhang Kuang punched him on the shoulder and said: "After that day, who mentions your name without giving a thumbs up? To be able to remain in prison without being tied up in the prison where Mr. Zhuo is famous in the world, such a method I'm afraid there won't be many people here in Chang'an City. You've given us a lot of face, and my brothers all admire you when they mention you!"
Fang Jie's face turned slightly red, and he smiled shyly: "You are too reckless, and you don't know the heights of the world."
"By the way, I heard that Brother Mo was directly selected to enter the martial arts academy without taking an exam?"
Fang explained the question.
Zhang Kuang looked around and lowered his voice and said, "That's what the imperial court owes him. His Majesty also said that day that in terms of military merit, it would not be an exaggeration for Brother Mo to be named a special general. He had outstanding military achievements when he was at Phoenix Tower. Coupled with the Dong Chu incident, if the court does not give an explanation, I am afraid it will also chill the hearts of many people. "
¡°Anyway, it¡¯s worth congratulations.¡±
Just as he was talking, Fang Jie saw Mo Xida striding towards him.
¡°Brother Fang, Brother Zhang, I¡¯m here to cheer you on!¡±
¡¡
¡¡
"Brother Mo, what happened to Wang Ding?"
Fang Jie and Mo Xidao walked side by side arrogantly, ignoring the comments from others.
"I heard that His Majesty issued an order to deprive Wang Ding of his title. Even Wang Ding's father's official position was dismissed, and his title was also removed. Wang Ding tried to murder a meritorious official of the Sui Dynasty because he was disrespectful to Taizu's relics. It was captured by Dali Temple. It is said that the imperial envoy to Jiangnan has already set off. It is estimated that the Wang family will not be easy this time. "
Mo Xida touched his scarred face and said with a smile: "What a damn relief!"
"Where is Wang Wei?"
Fang Jie asked again.
Hearing this name, a strong disgust flashed across Mo Xidao's brows: "Don't mention that guy. I don't know why he wasn't severely punished. He was just disqualified from participating in the Martial Arts Academy exam. His travel rate was reduced to Team deputy, he should have returned to Baishui City."
"He deserves it!"
Zhang Kuang scolded: "This kind of person who is greedy for profit is not worthy of wearing our frontier uniform!"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Your Majesty must be thinking of his contribution."
When Fang Jie said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Jiangnan Wang family must be in bad luck this time. Although the Wang family has not produced any dignitaries in recent years, the heritage of the family that dates back hundreds of years is still there. Although he can no longer occupy a place in the court, his family is extremely wealthy. It was about to launch troops to the northwest, which was exactly when the imperial court needed a large sum of money. His Majesty just used this excuse to confiscate all the Wang family's wealth. Although it is impossible to estimate the size of the wealth, it should also play a certain role in the war.
It can be seen from this that His Majesty attaches great importance to this Western Expedition.
In order to subsidize the national treasury, they did not hesitate to take action against a family like the Wang family that has gradually declined.
When I was thinking about these things, suddenly a woman in the crowd screamed like a nymphomaniac: "Look, look, Master Xie Fuyao of Jiangnan is over there! So handsome and elegant!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, look over here."
Immediately, several women shouted a few words.
Fang Jie followed the sight of those nymphos and saw a young man wearing a white gown standing not far away, talking to a few companions. When he heard those women shouting, Mr. Xie turned his head this way, and then He hugged his fists and looked graceful.
"Oh shit"
Zhang Kuang looked at Xie Fuyao, patted Fang Jie's shoulder and cursed in a low voice: "I have an embroidered pillow, but I'm not as handsome as you!"
Although the voice was low, it was still heard by those nymphomaniacs. Immediately, several pairs of angry eyes looked towards Zhang Kuang and Fang Jie. Fang Jie looked at the hateful expressions of those women and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Zhang, please stop helping me incite hatred, okay?" - Didn't finish reading?
