Early the next morning, soldiers from the Tiger God Camp came to inform them that the competition for the leadership of the Black Scale Camp was held at the martial arts arena of the Tiger God Camp. Jin Yihou was asked to go there as soon as possible.
Tiger God Camp is the garrison of the capital. Three thousand garrison troops guard the huge Jianye capital.
In the northeast corner of the capital, there is a special Hushenying camp, which covers a large area, and a large area is where Hushenying performs martial arts.
As elite soldiers guarding the capital, Tiger God Camp naturally never neglects training.
When Qi Ning arrived at the Tiger God Camp martial arts training ground before noon, many people had already arrived at the martial arts training ground. Directly south of the square military ordering platform, there was a gorgeous viewing platform with a golden The big chair was unusually conspicuous. Although it was late winter, the weather today was not cloudy, but rather bright. The light shone on the chair, making it sparkle with golden light.
Qi Ning knew that it must be the position of the little emperor. For such a big event, the little emperor obviously wanted to leave the palace to watch the battle. He took a step back and placed a few chairs on the left and right of the big golden chair.
Duan Canghai and others only came with them and did not expect to be admitted. However, unexpectedly, Tiger God Camp did not prohibit Duan Canghai and others from entering the military camp. When they arrived at the martial arts field, they realized that the people who came to watch the battle were not there. A few chairs were also placed on the east and west sides of the military command platform. At this time, many generals in armor were sitting on the chairs and whispering.
Qi Ning frowned slightly and saw Xue Lingfeng, the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, coming towards him. He showed a smile and stepped forward to meet him. Before Xue Lingfeng could speak, he smiled and said: "Xue... Commander Xue!"
Xue Lingfeng bowed her hands and said softly: "Master Marquis, the emperor will be here soon. When noon comes, the competition will begin."
"It seems like a lot of people came today."
Xue Lingfeng glanced over there and said: "This is what Marquis Zhongyi means. Military attachés above the fourth rank in Beijing can come to watch the battle. It is also suitable for the emperor to review the military might of our great Chu. Black Knife Camp Qu Yanzhi has arrived, and many people have come from the Black Blade Camp. In addition, more than ten generals have also come from the Xuanwu Camp."
"Oh?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "So, Marquis Zhongyi is full of confidence in Qu Yanzhi and wants everyone to see the majesty of Vice Commander Qu."
Xue Lingfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Hou, Qu Yanzhi's riding, shooting and sword skills are very powerful. If Master Hou goes into battle, you can compete with him first to consume his physical strength. In this way, you may still have a chance." .”
Qi Ning was grateful, but he also heard that Xue Lingfeng was not optimistic about him.
It’s no wonder that Xue Lingfeng is sitting in the position of commander of the Tiger God Camp. He naturally knows a lot about the capabilities of the generals in the court. Qu Yanzhi is the deputy commander of the Black Blade Camp and a brave general of the Chu State. Xue Lingfeng naturally has a good understanding of him. Very understanding.
At this moment, I heard the sound of armor scraping from behind me. I looked back and saw a group of armored warriors coming this way. One of them was wearing black armor. They were tall and strong, with thick beards hanging from their cheeks. It spread around his lips, and his beard was as sharp as a needle, covering almost half of his face, and you couldn't even see his lips clearly.
He has a thick beard and a tall and strong figure, like an ancient god of war. He exudes a surprising cold air, as if the man himself is an icy weapon.
Qi Ning only glanced at it, then his expression changed and he immediately turned his head.
But he saw clearly that the man was actually the heavy-eyed man he had met before.
When Longtai changed his name to Xiao Guang, he evaded pursuit and rushed back to Jianye capital. He narrowly escaped death on the way, but was eventually brought back to the capital by several cavalrymen from the Black Knife Battalion. Qi Ning still clearly remembers that the leaders of those cavalrymen at that time, It was this big man with double eyes.
The strange eyes are very unique and unforgettable.
Qi Ning was not horrified by his appearance, but instantly remembered that when he was with Xiao Guang, he had met this man with double pupils, and the two had even spoken. He still remembered the man with double pupils, but he didn't I wonder if the big man with double pupils still remembers me.
He thought that no one else in the world except Long Tai would know that he was pretending to be the Crown Prince Jinyi. However, seeing this person, Qi Ning suddenly realized that if there was anyone in the world besides Long Tai who might know his identity, then only It could be this big man with double eyes.
Qi Ning was dressed as a beggar that day. He was unkempt and very slovenly. He was completely different from how he looks today. However, Qi Ning knew that people with sharp eyesight might not be able to spot flaws.
Thinking of this, it was hard to meet the big man with double eyes, and I just hoped that this guy would pass by quickly.
Who would have thought that the big man with double eyes actually came over, raised his hands to Xue Lingfeng and said, "Commander Xue!"
Xue Lingfeng returned the courtesy and said, "Commander Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
"Very good." The heavy-eyed man's voice was low, slightly hoarse, but full of energy and concise: "Let's have a drink together when we have time!"
"Okay." Xue Lingfeng smiled slightly and said to the big man with double eyes: "Commander Chu, this is the Marquis in Jinyi. You may have never seen the Marquis."
"Oh?" The heavy-eyed man turned to Qi Ning, bowed and said, "Chu Cangge, commander of the Black Blade Battalion, pays homage to the Marquis!" There was a hint of respect in his voice, which was obviously not directed at Qi Ning, but at Qi Ning. The name "Jin Yihou" carries respect.
Everyone had already saluted him, so Qining could no longer turn his back to others. He turned around and said, "Commander Chu is famous and respected for a long time." He thought that this big man with double pupils turned out to be the Black Blade Camp. The commander-in-chief certainly has a lot of background.
He had seen the big man with double eyes take action, with a bow and two arrows, which shocked the strings of thunder, and he still remembered it clearly, that skill was really amazing.
He caught a glimpse of several people behind Chu Cangge bowing to salute him. One of them raised his eyes slightly and looked at him. He saw that the man was in his early forties, with a strong back and strong muscles, and a Chinese character face. Although he was not as thick as Chu Cangge's curly beard. He has a beard, but his beard is as black as a needle. He looks like a powerful character at first glance.
This person has a long bow on his back, an arrow box on his back, and a scimitar on his waist. Even Chu Cangge of this group has no weapons. Only this person has weapons, and the others are in armor. He was the only one wearing black clothes. In such a cold weather, this outfit was too thin. But not only did this person not show any signs of coldness, his face was full of red, and his lower body was as solid as Zhong, there is a fierce and murderous aura unique to soldiers all over his body.
Qi Ning's heart trembled slightly, knowing that if he guessed correctly, this person should be Qu Yanzhi, the deputy commander of the Black Blade Battalion.
He just glanced at it, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze staring at his face. He turned his eyes and saw that Chu Cangge had stood up straight, and his eyes as sharp as blades were staring at him.
Qi Ning's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but wonder if this guy had any tricks up his sleeve
He knew that the more dangerous the situation, the more calm he had to be. If he showed a little panic at this time, he would probably make Chu Cangge more suspicious. Although he was frightened, he still looked calm and composed on his face and said with a smile: " There are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Marquis Zhongyi recommends Deputy Commander Qu to compete for the position of commander of the Black Scale Battalion. I also have high hopes for Deputy Commander Qu."
He talked and laughed freely, as if he was just a spectator.
I saw the man with the sword hanging and the bow behind his back, cupping his hands and saying: "The court loves you wrongly, and I will never be able to live up to it. But I will do my best to live up to the court's expectations!"
Chu Cangge cupped his hands again, then nodded slightly to Xue Lingfeng, led his subordinates to turn around and walk away. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Qining. He seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end It's better to hurry to the dianbing platform.
Qining knew that when Chu Cangge stopped, he might have thought of something and became suspicious of himself.
"Master Marquis, Chu Cangge's martial arts is one of the best among the generals of the current dynasty." Xue Lingfeng looked at the backs of the generals from the Black Blade Battalion leaving and said slowly: "Although his strategy and tactics are far inferior to those of the general, but In terms of martial arts, he is not inferior to the general."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, but he paid attention to Qu Yanzhi's gait. When he saw his steady steps, like a dragon walking like a tiger, he knew that this person's boxing and kicking skills were certainly not weak.
Chu Cangge had led a few subordinates at the beginning but he joined forces with Xiao Guang. Qi Ning was well aware of the riding and shooting skills of this group of people. He knew that not only Chu Cangge but also those under his command were also appalling in their riding and shooting skills.
Since Qu Yanzhi is the deputy commander of the Black Blade Battalion, his riding and shooting skills are only higher than those of those others. He knows in his heart that when it comes to riding and shooting skills, Qu Yanzhi is already firmly in the first place. Not to mention that he is far behind, that is Jiang. Suiyun, there is absolutely no way he can beat Qu Yanzhi in riding and shooting skills.
His heart felt a little heavy. At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps again. When he looked back, he saw a person walking towards him, with a graceful demeanor and a jade tree facing the wind. It was Jiang Suiyun.
Jiang Suiyun came alone, with no entourage around him. When he saw Qi Ning, he didn't come over either. He just nodded to Qi Ning, put his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.
"Is this Jiang Suiyun?" Xue Lingfeng saw Jiang Suiyun walking away with his hands behind his back and frowned, "This man doesn't seem to be good at riding or shooting."
"oh?"
Xue Lingfeng said: "He has practiced riding and archery hard, which can be seen from his body shape. This man's hips are thin, he is not someone who often rides horses, and his shoulders are narrow. It seems that he has not practiced archery hard."
Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action. Qi Ning smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Mr. Jiang is superior in boxing, kicking and weapons."
Suddenly, a soldier from the Tiger God Camp came hurriedly and whispered something. Xue Lingfeng's expression calmed down and said: "Master Marquis, the Emperor is here!" He turned around and hurried to the gate of the Tiger God Camp to greet the holy driver.
Qi Ning did not hesitate and followed. When he arrived at the gate of Deyuan, he saw flags waving on the wide avenue outside the courtyard gate, blocking out the sky and the sun. At the front was a square formation of a group of cavalry, uniformly armored and cold, majestic. Incomparably, all the soldiers marched slowly holding halberds, holding flags in two columns, with solemn expressions.
The team moved slowly, and from time to time, cavalry lined up on both sides of the road, forming a barrier. Fortunately, there were no people nearby, and the road was very wide. Although the team was large, it did not appear crowded.
Approaching the camp gate, two teams of cavalry shot from the left and right like two sharp arrows, rushing straight into the courtyard gate, forming a barrier on both sides, the cold light of the armor was majestic.
Then he saw a group of Yulin troops approaching in a luxurious carriage. The four white horses were like twins, almost identical, pulling the gorgeous royal carriage to the gate of the Tiger God Camp. At first glance, it looked like It was like a house slowly moving over. When the sun shone, the car emitted thousands of rays of light. It was colorful, luxurious and magnificent, lighting up half of the sky.
Qi Ning knew that this was the first time the young emperor had left the palace since he ascended the throne. Although the main purpose was to observe the battle, he also inspected the Tiger God Camp by the way.
Royal majesty is no child's play, this time the formation also shows the royal luxury and majesty.
Xue Lingfeng had already stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the soldiers inside and outside the camp fell to their knees, including Yu Lin who was accompanying him. The cavalrymen also dismounted, knelt beside the horses, and shouted long live.
Looking at the respectful and cautious soldiers, as soon as the carriage passed by, the light of the scimitar flashed across, reflecting on the bodies of the soldiers, Qining looked through the halo, anticipating the rise and fall, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings and a variety of emotions.
