Chapter 690 That night, Tang Yin held a small dinner in the palace, and invited all the four people who won today's competition, Lei Zhen, Wei Xuan, Ye Tang, and Nanye.
There were not many people at the banquet, except for Tang Yin and the four winners, and then there was Qiu Zhen.
Tang Yin sat in the middle, glanced at the four people sitting on both sides, smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and said: "Today, this king has something to delay, and he can't come to the school military field to watch the battle, it's a pity. ” The four of them raised their wine glasses and drank with Tang Yin.
Tang Yin put down the cup and said quietly: "In this competition, let you distinguish between high and low, the main thing is to let you show my demeanor as a strong man, that is, the prestige of the country and the army." ” The four of them didn't know how to answer, and they sat there without saying a word.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen gently cleared his throat and hinted to the four of them not to be silent.
The four of them understood what he meant, looked at each other, and then arched their hands and said, "The king is wise." ” Tang Yin smiled indifferently and asked: "After the competition is over, you will stay in the army and serve Now is the time when the country is in danger and urgently needs to be employed, this king hopes that you and others can serve the country and be loyal to the Son of Heaven, I don't know what you think."
Hearing this, some of the four of them were happy and a little worried.
The joy is Wei Xuan and Ye Tang, they have long had the intention of joining the army to serve the country, and now that the king personally invited, it was enough to give face, and the two naturally accepted it with joy.
The two who are worried are Lei Zhen and Nanye.
Lei Zhen was reluctant to join the army, and he never thought of joining the army, and although Nanye did not reject joining the army, he had no confidence in his ability.
The first to speak was Lei Zhen.
He arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the king's love, but the matter of joining the army, forgive the villain for not being able to obey his fate." ” Tang Yin was curious why Lei Zhen rejected the army, and he asked, "Tell me your reasons." ” Lei Zhen said: "The villain is now the only child in the family, and his parents are old, so the villain does not dare to stay away from his parents; There are two brothers above the villain, but they both died on the battlefield in Hedong three years ago, and the Lei family has repaid the country's kindness, so the villain wants to stay at home and honor the two elders. ” "I see."
After Tang Yin heard this, he was touched, raised his head, sighed, and said: "The monarch is incompetent, kill the general; The generals are incompetent, the bones are piled up, and I don't know how many of them are the same as you, but this king thinks that you should serve the country and serve the army, and do your best to prevent the Hedong tragedy from happening again. ” Seeing that Lei Zhen was about to speak, Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "This king does not force you, whether you go or stay, it is all up to your own will."
After speaking, he turned his eyes, looked at Nanye again, and asked with a smile: "Nanye, you don't want to join the army."
Nanye hurriedly replied: "The villain is still shallow in knowledge and lacks ability, and I am afraid that serving in the army will kill the brothers in the army." ” Tang Yin nodded secretly, Nanye was self-aware.
He said, "This king has something I don't understand, and I don't know if you can tell him." ” "Ah, the king is gracious.
The king has something to say, and the villain knows everything. ” "You haven't used your full strength in the past two days of competition," Tang Yin asked Zhengse.
Wei Xuan and Ye Tang on the side were shocked when they heard this, in their opinion, the weakest of the four of them belonged to Nanye, and the two victories were all based on luck, and they never thought that he was deliberately hiding his strength.
Nanye was stunned for a moment, and then leaned over and said: "The king is wise, the villain really didn't use his full strength in the two competitions. ” Unexpectedly, he admitted it so simply, Tang Yin was happy and asked, "Why is this?"
"The villain is not deliberately hiding it, but taking the opportunity to hone it."
Nanye Zhengse explained: "Although the villain has practiced spiritual martial arts since he was a child, he has never fought with others, let alone has no experience in fighting against the enemy, so taking advantage of these two competitions, the villain wants to increase more practical experience and skills, maybe there is a chance to stay until the end and win the crown." ” "Haha" Tang Yin smiled on his back, and secretly said smartly, if it is really as Nanye said, he has no experience in facing the enemy and does not understand the skills of the enemy, then it is the best choice to find some weaker opponents to hone first, and in the next competition, his opponent will become stronger and stronger, which is also more conducive to his growth.
Tang Yin praised: "Witty, intelligent, know your own strengths and your own shortcomings, don't care about the suspicion and contempt of others, only do what you think is right, Nanye, you are very suitable for being a general in the army, stay" His praise undoubtedly gave Nanye a lot of confidence, and it also allowed him to completely dispel the worries in his heart.
He stood up, knelt down respectfully, bowed his head, and said, "Thank you, little man, King Longen."
"Get up" Tang Yin was overjoyed and waved his hand with a smile.
With Nanye's spirit and mind, he is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general, and the most lacking thing in the current wind army is a general like him, who can take Nanye as his own use, Tang Yin is naturally very happy.
Then he looked at Wei Xuan and Ye Tang and asked if they were willing to stay in the army.
Wei and Ye had no objections, and left their seats to kowtow and thank Tang Yin.
The four people, except for Lei Zhen, all expressed their willingness to stay in the army, be loyal to Tang Yin, and serve the country.
Tang Yin's mood seemed to be exceptionally good, at the banquet, he toasted to everyone again and again, and repeatedly said that once he joined the army, he would be brothers, and he would share weal and woe in the future, honor and disgrace, seeing that he was so approachable, the four of them were gradually no longer as restrained as at the beginning, let go of the amount of wine, and drank with Tang Yin.
After a banquet, the four of them had a much better impression of Tang Yin, feeling that he did not have the slightest bit of a king's stand, and he also called them brothers and sisters with the status of commoners, which I am afraid that even the ministers of the court could not do.
How did they know that Tang Yin has always been pro-army, emphasizing military force over literature, and only in front of the officers and soldiers in the army will he show his most benevolent and kind side.
The next day, the joust continued.
This time, the matchups are Lei Zhen and Ye Tang, Nan Ye and Wei Xuan.
In today's competition, Tang Yin came to watch the battle in person, which was also to further understand the strength of the four of them.
The first to fight were Lei Zhen and Ye Tang.
As soon as these two came on the field, they performed their own stunts and fought together.
The thunder shock is powerful, and the cultivation is also profound, and the moves are wide open and closed, a halberd that opens the sky, and the wielding tiger is vigorous.
Ye Tang's strength is not as good as him, and his cultivation is not as good as him, so naturally he will not fight him.
But whether it is fighting skills or spiritual martial arts skills, Ye Tang has outstanding points, in addition, his riding skills are also exquisite, sitting on a horse, rushing left and right, moving freely, and killing moves from time to time also make Lei Zhen have a headache.
In a short time, the two have been fighting fiercely for thirty rounds, without a victory, and the soldiers of the Wind Army who were watching the battle around were enthusiastic, and they didn't know who to cheer for.
Ye Tang's guerrilla fight is effective, but it is also extremely physically demanding, and he can still hold on in a short period of time, and after a long time, others can stand it, and the war horse can't stand it.
Seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, Ye Tang made a false move and was defeated.
Lei Zhen, who was hitting Xing's head, was willing to let him go, urging the horse to chase him.
Hearing the sound of thunder catching up, Ye Tang was secretly happy in his heart, he quickly took a longbow from the victory hook of the war horse, and drew a steel arrow from under the ribs, listening to the movement behind him.
The sound of Lei Zhen's horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, so close that Ye Tang could already hear the wheezing sound of the opponent's war horse, and suddenly, he picked up the bow and arrow hidden in front of him, turned around, and aimed an arrow at Lei Zhen's face.

After all, this is a competition, not a battle of life and death, Ye Tang also has his subordinates who are merciful and do not spiritualize the steel arrow, but even so, the speed of his sudden arrow is also extremely fast, and the distance between him and Lei Zhen is too close, as soon as the steel arrow leaves the longbow, it has already flown in front of Lei Zhen.
Lei Zhen didn't have a clairvoyant eye, it was impossible to see the bow and arrow he was hiding in front of him through Ye Tang's body, and he was also caught off guard by this sudden arrow, but it may be the relationship between Orion's background, Lei Zhen's reaction was too fast, at the last moment, he tried his best to turn to the side, only to hear a snap, the steel arrow grinding against his cheek The spirit armor whistled past, but at the same time, the spirit halberd in Lei Zhen's hand also swept on Ye Tang's lower back, splitting him sideways off the horse.
Ye Tang had mercy on his subordinates, and Lei Zhen did not kill him, this halberd was slapped on Ye Tang's body with a halberd.
Seeing Ye Tang being knocked off the war horse, the cheers around him also reached the highest point, people were most impressed by Lei Zhen in the past three days, and they were also impressed by his strong spiritual martial arts, and now seeing him win again, people invariably shouted Lei Zhen's name and raised their arms and cheered.
Lei Zhen was low-key, but at this time, he was also excited by the shouts like a landslide and tsunami around him, he looked around, and took two breaths in a row to calm down his excitement, and then he jumped off the war horse, and quickly stepped forward to Ye Tang, who was lying on the ground, and asked with concern: "Brother Ye can be injured?"
The strength of his halberd was not light, even if Ye Tang had a spirit armor to protect his body, he felt the pain in his lower back as if it were broken.
With Lei Zhen's support, he stood up with difficulty, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's out of the way."
Lei Zhen arched his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Ye for your mercy just now."
"Hey" Ye Tang waved his hand and said modestly: "Brother Lei's cultivation is profound, even if he shoots a spiritual arrow below, I'm afraid he won't be able to hurt Brother Lei."
In this battle, I still lost. ” Lei Zhen admired Ye Tang's straightforward surname, and he said with a straight face: "This battle should be considered a draw." ” Ye Tang raised his eyes to look at the soldiers of the Feng Army who were shouting around him, and said, "If it is a tie, even the people watching the battle will be unconvinced, and Brother Lei will no longer have to be humble."
As he spoke, he limped over to his horse and walked down with the reins.
Lei Zhen defeated Ye Tang, this battle was fierce and exciting, and it also pushed the atmosphere of the school military field to the top.
Next is the battle between Nanye and Wei Xuan.
Before the fight, Wei Xuan bowed his hand to Nanye and said: "Brother Nan, I hope you can use your real skills in this battle, don't take it down to practice."
Nanye's old face flushed, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Wei Lingwu is amazing, how dare you not go all out."
"That's the best" Wei Xuan gave him a deep look, and then lifted the silver spear hanging from the Victory Hook
