When it comes to long-distance running, Fang Jie is no stranger. Although when he was in danger since he was a child, most of the time it was Mu Xiaoyao who carried his belt and led him to run. But since I was a child, I knew that relying on people is not as good as relying on my own solutions, and the best thing is to escape. Moreover, with a modern mind, his understanding of long-distance running is not very different from others and other candidates.
At the very least, not everyone knows the truth that if you exert your strength at the beginning of a long-distance race, you will undoubtedly lose.
When they ran out of Chang'an City, the team was already sparse, as if they were herding sheep, and they were thrown back and forth for a distance of two miles. Fang Jie followed the first echelon unhurriedly, not falling behind, and not in a hurry to overtake the candidates in front. While running, Fangjie observed, and found that he was definitely not the only one who knew how to strike back.
There were four people not far behind him, and they were also not in a hurry to rush forward.
Fang Jie knew all four of them.
The one who was closest to him and joked with him from time to time was the brigade leader of Anyuan City who was insolent. Running side by side in front of Zhang Kuang were Pei Chuxing, son of the Pei family, and Cui Pingzhou, son of the Cui family of Boling. And not far behind Fang Jie, is Xie Fuyao from the Jiangnan Xie family. Between Xie Fuyao and Fang Jie is Lu Fan from Chenzhou.
Obviously, these famous young men in brocade clothes are not pampered at home. Fang Xie can tell from their running movements that their physical fitness is so good that they have practiced martial arts since childhood. Fang Jie even felt that their physiques were stronger than his own, but in fact, the reason why he thought this way was because he still didn't know what kind of physique he belonged to.
Those few people all understood the importance of breathing correctly during long-distance running, with their mouths slightly open and their breaths long.
Regarding the background of knowledge, Fang Jie had to admit the strength of these brocade-clothed young masters. After all, compared with the self-taught children of a poor family, the advantages of training from a family are self-evident. People like them may have been reading classics when they were four or five years old, and they were taught by very famous teachers. When they were teenagers, they were proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there were first-class masters to guide them in their cultivation.
When they were holding thick classics and reading aloud, most of the children from poor families were still acting like a baby in their mother's arms. While they were practicing with swords and guns in hand, most of the children from poor families began to go to the fields to help their parents with labor. Speaking of the same children, who can be much smarter than whom? But the start was different, so the poor family was thrown out a few streets early.
So for people like Pei Chuxing, Xie Fuyao, Cui Pingzhou and the others, Fang Jie still has some admiration in his heart. He has a superior background and works harder than others. Since I was a child, I have been occupied by various studies for most of my time. Not only do I have to learn such things as knowledge, bearing, martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I also need to learn how to distinguish the authenticity of antiques. From the place of origin, you can tell at a glance that the girls' jewelry is from that jeweler's shop.
In Fang Jie's words, these knowledge are the capital used by the children of the aristocratic family to pretend to be coercive.
But there is no doubt that it is not so easy and simple to become a young master who can pretend to be cool. It is true that most of the children of the aristocratic family do not have such perseverance, and few of them can spend their whole life in continuous learning. Because of their noble birth, they can come into contact with more things that tempt them to wander. Good wine, delicious food and beauties, things that are difficult for these poor children to come into contact with are commonplace for them.
When they are spending money like water, the children of poor families are sweating like rain.
In his previous life, Fang Jie often heard people say such things, people are more angry than others. It's a fact, a hard fact to break. The so-called world unity is such a fascinating and distant dream, which has been praised by countless people and crazily strives for it. The last thing you see is a strictly hierarchical social class.
People with a net worth of one hundred thousand can get in touch with people with a net worth of one million, but they will definitely not be able to integrate into their circle. People with a net worth of millions can get in touch with people with a net worth of billions, but they cannot squeeze into that class. Rich people always say that money is the most vulgar thing, but what they rely on is the most noble temperament packaged with the most vulgar things.
Fang Jie thought of himself, and then looked at those army candidates who gritted their teeth and persisted.
The Academy of Martial Arts is a door, and if you open it and walk in, you may not get a bright future. But there is no doubt that the greatest hope can be seen only by walking here. And for those frontier soldiers, being able to enter the martial arts academy has another advantage. They can really live steadily for three years, without having to face the fight that they don't know when it will come. It is already a very happy thing to not have to worry about whether I will die suddenly for three years.
While adjusting his breathing, Fang Jie calculated the distance in his heart. He has been to the Martial Arts Field, and because of his habit of fleeing for his life over the years, the first thing he does in every place he has been to is to observe the terrain. Although he was a little embarrassed after escaping from the martial arts field last time, this handle did not prevent him from remembering some special terrains on the roadside. For example, where he was hiding in the dense grass, for example, there was a small but dense forest by the side of the road, for example, there was a high slope about half a mile to the left of the official road.
Speaking of running is a very simple sport, no one thought that there would be such an assessment in martial arts this year. Vomiting began to increase after leaving the gate of Chang'an City. After half an hour, those who were left behind actually had no chance to turn defeat into victory.
Seeing that the Martial Arts Arena was just ahead, the first few people began to exert their strength to prevent being overtaken. Suddenly, a professor from the Yanwu Academy rode up from behind, shouting while galloping.
"The second test begins, do your best to prevent others from reaching the finish line! Do not kill anyone, do not use weapons, do not use poison..."
…
…
After the sound of these words sounded, everyone who heard it was stunned for a moment.
It was just this moment of stupefaction that Fang Jie suddenly felt a burst of impact coming from behind. He tapped the ground almost subconsciously, his legs exploded with force, and his body rushed forward like a cannonball. He didn't look back and knew who was attacking him. The closest behind him was Lu Fan, the son of the Lu family in Chenzhou.
This person has also been famous since he was a child. Although the Lu family was not a first-rate family in the Sui Dynasty, it was also a second-rate and top-notch existence. A person of this status disregarded his own reputation and attacked Fang Xie from behind. This shows that Fang Xie has a lot of weight in the eyes of those aristocratic children.
Lu Fan didn't expect Fang Jie to be able to escape under his sudden blow, and couldn't help being surprised. He had been accumulating energy from the very beginning, and even without the order of the second assessment brought by the professor of the Martial Arts Academy, he planned to let Fang Jie withdraw from the contest before arriving at the Martial Arts Arena.
In his opinion, that humble young frontier soldier stole the limelight in yesterday's exam. If he gets a high score in the martial arts exam today, he won't be able to squeeze into the top three. After all, in his opinion, he is still slightly behind people like Pei Chuxing and Xie Fuyao.
But he didn't think he would lose to a pawn in martial arts.
This long-prepared blow failed, and he would inevitably lose his mind for a moment. But it was this moment that turned him from a hunter into a prey.
He punched nothing, before he could retract his arm. Lieutenant An Yuancheng's side kicked Kuang Kuang and hit him in the chest. This kick was filled with the power of cultivation. Although the power was controlled very low, such a sudden attack still caused Lu Fan a big loss. He only felt a suffocation in his chest, he couldn't catch his breath and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Kuang didn't stop after a successful blow, and immediately chased after Fang Jie.
"Get together!"
While running, Zhang Kuang yelled a word.
Many people didn't understand what the word he called was clear, but all candidates with military background understood the meaning of this word. After the words were spoken, these soldiers immediately accelerated and gathered towards Zhang Kuang. Soon, more than a dozen soldiers in the first echelon quickly moved closer together.
"Feng Ya!"
Zhang Kuang shouted two more words, and a dozen soldiers formed a charge formation in just a dozen seconds. When the Sui army was practicing, there were more than 20 basic formations. The soldiers had already memorized these formations in their hearts. Although they came from all over the Sui Dynasty, even though they had no cooperation before, with the crazy order issued, the quality of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty was fully demonstrated at this moment.
"Fang Jie! Come to the middle of the formation!"
Zhang roared wildly, and then accelerated to the front of the arrow array.
Fang Jie glanced back and said loudly, "I'm Fengrui!"
Before Zhang Kuang could refuse, Fang Jie had already slowed down and merged into the front arrow array. In order to prevent the formation from being crushed by Fang Xie's joining, Zhang Kuang had no choice but to give him the position of Feng Rui.
"Great Sui Xiongbing, march forward indomitable!"
Zhang Kuang, who was in the retreat, yelled out the slogan for the frontier army to attack, and a dozen soldiers immediately followed suit and shouted in unison: "Forward!"
Zhang Kuang ran while explaining to the other party: "Don't force it. If a master comes up, you can just get behind me. Fang Jie, don't fight with me. You are the person who has the most hope of getting into the top three of our soldiers this year. Since you are eligible to participate in the Yanwu Academy Examination, no one has ever been promoted to the top three. You have already scored five excellent subjects in liberal arts, and you only need to take one more assessment in martial arts. There is no suspense in entering the top three! We have discussed it for a long time But, no matter what, I will protect you to pass the test!"
Fang Jie felt hot in his heart, and shouted without turning his head: "Thank you! But since we have formed a battle, let's rush to the finish line together, without leaving anyone behind!"
"good!"
Zhang Kuang seemed to be aroused by Fang Jie's words, he stretched out his finger and shouted in the direction of the martial arts field: "Let's rush to the finish line together, let them see the might of our Great Sui soldiers!"
…
…
Lu Fan resisted the pain in his heart, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and chased after him while gritting his teeth. While running, he said to Xie Fuyao who had run past him indifferently before: "Brother Minran, how about joining forces? You can see in a moment, whoever is left alone will be the target of others' attacks. Others are afraid."
Xie Fuyao didn't even look at him, and flew forward with his feet.
"I don't need to join hands with anyone, don't get close if you don't want to be knocked out by me."
His tone was flat and indifferent, as if in Xie Fuyao's eyes, Lu Fan was not worthy of joining forces with him. Lu Fan bit his lip and cursed in a low voice. Seeing that Boling Cui Pingzhou and Pei Chuxing were still walking side by side without fighting, he immediately rushed up.
"Two brothers, how about the three of us working together?"
"If you haven't attacked Fangjie before, I might consider it."
Cui Pingzhou looked back at him, and his tone was also very indifferent: "You punched just now, no matter what, it will lose the light."
"You can't say that, sneak attack is also a kind of warfare!"
Lu Fan explained loudly.
bang.
Before Lu Fan could finish his words, he was sent flying by a huge force from his chest, but this force was very strange, obviously very strong, but it didn't hurt him. The inner strength was majestic and gentle, and after sending his body a long way, he fell to the ground, but did not hurt his internal organs. If the person who made the shot hadn't deliberately shown mercy, this blow would have sent him into hell.
"You're right."
Pei Chuxing withdrew his left hand, glanced at Lu Fan who was blown into the ditch on the side of the official road, and said indifferently: "Sneak attack is indeed a kind of tactic, but I'm really not interested in joining forces with people who even miss a sneak attack, it's just a burden That's all."
Cui Pingzhou smiled, pointed to the dozen or so soldiers who had already rushed forward and said, "How about over there?"
Pei Chuxing replied while flying: "Put it outside the martial arts arena and let them speed up. With their cultivation base, they have almost exhausted their strength by the time they reach the martial arts arena. The so-called front arrow array is unbearable." hit."
On the official road, struggles have already started everywhere.
Because of the professor's sudden order, his humanity was revealed in an instant.
