The Hongnong Yang family is a millennium-old family that has produced many important figures.
In all dynasties, members of the Hongnong Yang family have served as officials or military generals.
Yang Richan is one of the people sent by the Hongnong Yang family to participate in the martial arts examination.
Only He made it to the top 16 in the ranking of strong men.
In addition, the Yang family also sent many children to participate in the civil and scientific examinations.
The two of them each carried their weapons and climbed onto their horses.
Following the referee's instructions, they rode their horses to the prescribed positions and stood opposite each other.
With the referee's order, the fourth group of mounted battles really began.
The two sat on horseback and looked into each other's eyes.
Their fighting spirit gradually increased.
Sparks were about to fly when their eyes met.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, both of them were eager to express themselves.
At this moment, Yang Richan took the lead. , he picked up the machete and slapped the horse's butt fiercely, shouting: "Drive" The horse's limbs exerted force, and the soil on the ground flew up.
It carried Yang Richan and rushed towards Bai Xiaode.
At this time, Bai Xiaode's eyes widened suddenly.
He turned his right wrist and the three-pointed two-edged knife he was holding also turned, and the tip of the knife fell to the ground.
The blade moved forward, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and shouted: "Ha" "Chichi" As the war horse accelerated and galloped, the three-pointed two-edged knife dragged by Bai Xiaode rubbed against the ground and made a chichi sound.
It also emitted sparks when it touched the stones.
The audience, whether they were ordinary people, officials, nobles, relatives of the emperor, or even the emperor and concubines, all had their hearts in their throats at this time.
Just when the two knights were about to come into contact, Yang Richan had already raised the Daguandao with both hands.
At this time, Bai Xiaode suddenly leaned back, and the three-pointed two-edged sword held in his right hand suddenly lifted upwards.
The sun's rays shone on the three-pointed two-edged sword.
On the knife surface, the dazzling sunlight shines on Yang Richan’s In the eyes of the war horse, he saw a weapon coming from the front.
The war horse was frightened and stopped running and raised its front hooves.
The Daguan Dao held by Yang Richan could not cut it, but Bai Xiaode's three-pointed two-edged knife could not.
Yang Richan's horse was disemboweled from bottom to top.
This three-pointed two-edged sword is just an ordinary thing.
If it were Bai Xiaode's own three-pointed two-edged sword, this move would probably not only disembowel the war horse, but also Yang Richan on the horse.
Broken belly.
A large amount of blood sprayed on the ground, and all the internal organs flowed out.
The war horse fell to the ground and died.
Yang Richan on the horse also fell to the ground and was broken into pieces.
When he just wanted to get up, At that moment, Bai Xiaode's three-pointed two-edged knife had already stabbed his throat.
The referee appeared at the right time and shouted: "Bai Xiaode wins" When Yang Richan heard this voice, he lay on the ground dejectedly and was quickly urged to leave by the referee.
Bai Xiaode also handed over his weapons and horses and walked out of the venue to rest and wait for the next fight.
Zhao Ziliang, who was next to the emperor, saw it clearly and said: "This Bai Xiaode, doesn't he know that a war horse is very valuable?
He would be better.
He can kill a war horse with one knife.
His right palm is strong.
Write it down and let him pay for it."
"Hahaha" Xuanzong laughed, waved his hand and said: "No need, it's just a war horse.
Could it be that when the Tang Dynasty holds martial arts examinations and palace examinations, we can't even part with a war horse?
Besides, Zhao Qing's family, aren't you taking advantage of this time to hold martial arts examinations?"
You have accumulated a lot of money through the examination.
If you don’t need this little money, this Bai Xiaode is indeed very brave.

I like him very much.
Forget it, don’t let him lose money."
Zhao Ziliang could only agree: "Promise" The next four groups can be said to have encountered talents and opponents.
Each group had to kill hundreds of rounds before deciding the winner.
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, the top eight finally appeared, namely Bai Xiaode and Pu.
Gu Huaien, Wang Sili, Niu Tingjie, Xiang Runke, Lei Wanchun, Li Guozhen, Ge Shuhan.
The eight people drew lots, and the results came out quickly.
The first group was against Ge Shuhan and Xiang Runke, the second group was against Pugu Huaien and Li Guozhen, and the third group was against Bai Xiaode and Niu Tingjie. , the fourth group faced off between Wang Sili and Lei Wanchun The examiner walked to the duel field and shouted loudly: "Now the semi-final knockout rounds will be held, and the rankings of the eight eliminated people will be determined.
The two games will be held at the same time.
The draw has been completed.
Please invite Shu Han and Xiang Runke from the first group of the semi-final knockout rounds. " On the other side, the eight people who had just been eliminated were also drawing lots to determine the ninth and sixteenth places.
When the emperor heard the examiner's call, he asked Zhao Ziliang who was standing next to him: "Who is this brother Shu Han?
I think he is a bit old."
Zhao Ziliang had a detailed understanding of the information and resumes of these candidates at noon.
When Xuanzong asked, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Ge Shuhan is the former leader of Ge Shu Daoyuan, the former leader of the Geshu tribe in Tuqi Shi Wu Nu Shibi tribe." son, they The whole family lived in Qiuci Town, Anxi.
A few years ago, he and Ge Shu Daoyuan came to Chang'an to meet His Majesty.
However, Ge Shu Daoyuan died of illness in Chang'an before he could return to Anxi Qiuci.
Ge Shuhan stayed in Chang'an for three years according to Han family etiquette.
Keep filial piety."
After hearing Zhao Ziliang's introduction, Xuanzong suddenly remembered.
He patted the handrail and said, "Yes, I remember that a few years ago, a Western Region clan leader named Ge Shu Daoyuan came to Beijing to meet him.
I didn't expect that his son, this Ge Shu Han, would be here."
So filial, okay, very good, but now the period of observing filial piety has already arrived, why didn't he go back?
Could it be that he has been staying in Chang'an?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Of course not.
During the three years of observing filial piety, this brother Shu Han was often ridiculed by the Chang'an County captain, saying that he was not doing his job properly.
As a result, Brother Shu Han was severely hit mentally.
After the three years of observing filial piety, he immediately went to Wang Jue, the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, is serving in the army.
Your Majesty, although he is over forty years old, he is as brave as a young man.
Your Majesty will see what happens next."
Xuanzong nodded and waved his hand: "Let's get started."
"promise" The semi-finals knockout rounds began, and the first ones to play were Ge Shuhan and Xiang Runke.
Ge Shuhan was already in his forties, older than Guo Ziyi, but Ge Shuhan was a Tuqi Shiren, and he had He grew up eating meat and is in better health than the average person.
At this time, he is full of energy, rosy complexion, and full of physical strength.
He has a short beard that grows from his temples to his chin, forming a circle around his entire face.
He is truly a man with chin.
Hu Dahan.
Xiang Runke was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
He was originally from the martial arts world, but he liked military affairs very much.
Therefore, he loved horseback riding and archery very much.
He often practiced diligently and developed his skills.
Both of them were holding long spears.
After the referee ordered the start, Ge Shuhan rushed to fight against the horse and rushed towards Runke.
While attacking, he shouted loudly.
The roar made Xiang Runke upset and his moves became more and more complicated.

Chaos, almost overwhelming.
After the two fought for more than ten rounds, Ge Shuhan hit the top with a powerful move, and immediately raised his gun to block Runke.
Unexpectedly, Ge Shuhan's spear shaft was too flexible, so he used too much force and broke his own spear shaft. , only a click was heard, and everyone saw Ge Shuhan's spear broken into two pieces.
While all the audience were feeling sorry for Ge Shuhan, Ge Shuhan had no other emotional reaction at all because the weapon was broken.
He seemed to not care at all, holding two broken guns in both hands and continuing to fight without stopping.
Attacking Xiang Runke, Xiang Runke was suddenly stunned because Ge Shuhan's spear was broken, and then he was overjoyed, but before he could get over his joy, he was pressed down and beaten by Ge Shuhan.
"Oh no, madman, this barbarian is really a madman."
Xiang Runke tried his best to resist and cursed in his heart.
Xiang Runke was much younger than Ge Shuhan, but he discovered that this brother Shuhan was really a beast-like person.
He attacked hundreds of moves without feeling tired at all.
Instead, he struck harder and harder.
This made Xiang Runke more and more fierce.
Runke couldn't help but complain.
Who knew that Ge Shuhan was so perverted?
He still had physical strength far beyond that of a young man at such an old age.
The audience cheered loudly in the stands.
Xuanzong couldn't help but stand up and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, Zhao Qing family, you said that this brother Shu Han is brave.
Now that I see him, it is true."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, his face could not help but look a little sad, and he sighed unconsciously.
Xuanzong saw it inadvertently and asked curiously: "Why is Zhao Qing sighing?
Could this brother Shu Han not last long?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "No, judging from the current situation, Xiang Runke will definitely lose.
Isn't it just that your Majesty didn't notice it?
Among the eight people in the battle for the top four, some of them are not foreigners Bai Xiaode, Pugu Huaien, Wang Sili and Ge Shuhan are both foreigners, accounting for half of them, and the force value of these four people is much stronger than that of Niu Tingjie, Li Guozhen, Xiang Runke and Lei Wanchun.
Among the four Han people, only Lei Wanchun's martial arts skills are passable, but the other three are far behind.
Your Majesty, the talent of our Han generals is withering.
Weichen is worried that too many generals will be appointed, and in the future, he will be in a position to become too powerful, so he It is recommended that both the martial arts examination and the palace examination should test troop formations and military strategies at the same time, so as to discover the talents of generals from the people, so there are three rankings of heaven, earth and people."
After hearing this, Xuanzong stroked his beard and nodded: "Zhao Qing's worries are not unreasonable.
This is why I agree with you to set up the three lists of heaven, earth and people.
Li Linfu said that generals are simple-minded, powerful in force, and easy to control, but it is not unreasonable. , but what you said is not bad, so we should all be on guard."
While the two were talking, the battle between Ge Shuhan and Xiang Runke finally came to an end.
Xiang Runke was defeated in the end.
He was knocked off his horse by Ge Shuhan and suffered some injuries.
He was afraid that he would not be able to participate in the next battle.
In the battle for rankings from fifth to eighth, we can only settle for eighth place.
Next are the second group Pugu Huaien and Li Guozhen, the third group Bai Xiaode and Niu Tingjie, and the fourth group Wang Sili and Lei Wanchun successively appeared to compete for the top four.
No surprise, Pugu Huaien, Bai Xiaode and Lei Wanchun They won one after another and won the top four.
The semi-finals were about to continue.
Before that, the examiner allowed them to rest for two quarters of an hour and draw lots during the break.
This time Pugu Huaien and Ge Shuhan were drawn into a group, and Bai Xiaode and Lei Wanchun were drawn into a group. a group
