Since the Wuzhou Revolution, Wu Zetian established the martial arts system.

Since its inception, it has opened three subjects and selected many talents for the court. Among them, the top scholar in the first subject, Ban Qian, later abandoned Wu and followed Wen, and now he is a direct scholar in Hongwenguan in the court. He has won the favor of Wu Zetian with his twelve poems "The New Literature of Mingtang" and "The Four Altars of Fengshan Stele". Now he edited "The Three Sects Zhuying" and has close friendship with Zhang Shuo and others.

In short, Yuan Banqian has already gained a foothold in the literary world, and has successfully advanced from a warrior.

In addition, Zhang Rentan, who has now been appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, is also considered a talent selected by Wu Zetian from the martial arts examination.

However, except for these two people, Sun Siguan, the top scholar in the martial arts in the two majors, was unknown and few people knew about it.

It is said that after Sun Siguan seized the top martial arts scholar, he was arrogant and did not take anyone seriously, so he offended Wu Chengsi. Just imagine, how could he, a civilian-born top martial arts scholar, withstand the suppression and persecution of Wu Chengsi?

In the end, Sun Siguan abandoned his official position and left, and his whereabouts were unknown...

"Haruo, are you sure he is Sun Siguan?"

When Sun Siguan won the top martial arts scholar, Yang Shouwen was still confused and not very refreshing, so naturally he could not know him.

Mingxiu and Zhang Jiuling are even more unclear.

Mingxiu has been in Jiangnan for many years, and this is his first time to come to Shendu. Zhang Jiuling is even more in Lingnan, so he is not even as good as Mingxiu to understand current affairs.

Lu Chengzhi smiled bitterly and said, "How could I read it wrong?

I also saw Sun Siguan when he captured Wu Kui. He was very impressed by him and he would never have read him wrong."

"Take a polite!"

Mingxiu suddenly shouted loudly, and saw Mingli running over with his arms hanging.

Before, Mingli was also injured, but his injuries were not serious.

He came over and said, "What are the instructions of Alang?"

"I remember when the saints held the second martial arts exam, you seemed to have participated in it too?"

"yes."

"Then you recognize him!"

Mingxiu said, letting go of her body and revealing the body behind her.

Mingli walked forward, bent down and looked for a while, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"How could it be him?"

"You recognize him?"

Mingli hurriedly said: "I was ordered to come to participate in the martial arts department back then. I thought I could win the championship easily. Unexpectedly, I lost to this person in both weightlifting and riding and shooting. Later, in the horse-and-gun competition, I was hit by him with a meteor hammer and eventually lost.

His name is Sun Siguan. He is Wu Kui of Erke, so why did he become like this?

I remember when I saw him, he was very energetic. He was only thirty years old that year, but now he looks nearly fifty years old."

Mingxiu did not answer Mingli's question, but turned her head to look at Yang Shouwen.

Lu Chengzhi and Mingli confirmed Sun Siguan's identity one after another, and I believe there will be no more problems.

Then, there are questions!

Yang Shouwen and Sun Siguan have never met each other, and the Sun and Yang families have never had any intersection. Why did he appear here?

As for why Sun Siguan pretended to be a thief, Yang Shouwen didn't find it strange.

There are countless examples of a young man who was successful and arrogant in his bones. He was persecuted and suffered hardships, and finally had to bow to reality. Yang Shouwen squatted down and groped on Sun Siguan, but he did not find any clues.

"Xiao Gao. Do you recognize him?"

Gao Lishi shook his head and said, "This is the first time I have seen this person."

"Huh, that's really interesting!"

After Yang Shouwen's search was fruitless, he slowly stood up.

He really wanted to know who Sun Siguan had defected to? There is no doubt that that person was the mastermind who wanted to harm him.

At this moment, a servant ran over in a panic.

"Not good, some officials are approaching here."

"Official Army?"

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "It's just right."

He waved his hand to signal Gao Lishi to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear, and saw Gao Lishi nodding repeatedly, leading a horse, and then galloping away.

"Qingzhi. What did you ask him to do?"

Yang Shouwen smiled and said, "In this case, it is better to let the East Palace come forward."

Regarding Prince Li Xian, Yang Shouwen has always been a keeping away from him.

Although it can be seen from the news from all parties that Li Xian is generous and kind, Yang Shouwen is unwilling to contact him.

However, at this time, it is definitely a wonderful step to deal with it under the guise of the Eastern Palace.

The official army who rushed to Bajiao Mountain came from Sour Jujube.

They also received information from Junyi last night and thought something had happened, so they rushed to support him overnight. But they didn't expect that the person who came forward to greet them was Donggong Dianzhi, and they were suddenly a little panicked.

The official army thought it was an ambush from the East Palace, and they were all very nervous.

Yang Shouwen did not meet them, but asked Gao Lishi to pass on a message saying that he would cross the river immediately.

Without saying a word, the official army flew to the governor of Bianzhou and built a floating bridge on the river. As soon as Chen Shi was over, the floating bridge was completed. Yang Shouwen did not want to deal with the officials in Bianzhou, so he hurriedly crossed the river and left.

As for those corpses, those official troops and Bianzhou officials will solve the problem...

Such a thing happened in Bianzhou, naturally it was a mess.

How could the guards of Yizhe Chongfu pretended to be bandits and ambush the prince? Such things would definitely not be hidden! The best way is to clear the relationship and report it to the court. Otherwise, when the court investigated, it would definitely be a bloody storm.

Bianzhou is full of chaos and has nothing to do with Yang Shouwen.

After crossing the river, he rushed all the way west and arrived outside Xingyang City in the evening.

Originally, Yang Shouwen wanted to stay in Xingyang and visit his family in Shicheng Village. But later he thought that his father had already served as Sima of Luozhou, and Yang Rui was sent to Chang'an to study. There seemed to be no one in the family, and Song and Qingnu would definitely go to Luoyang to accompany his father. In this way, he would not have to stay in Xingyang.

Besides, he wants to rush to Luoyang to save Li Guo.

This time is already very tight. If you stay in Xingyang, you will have to delay at least one night.

So, Yang Shouwen did not enter the city in the end, but asked Lu Chengzhi to take his visit to Zheng Jingsi's family.

After all, Zheng Jingsi's family has a good relationship with him.

When his father and son were in a downturn, the Zheng family took them in and did not treat them badly. Now that Yang Chenglie is well developed, he, Yang Shouwen, is unable to enter the family. It is inevitable that people will feel like a ungrateful person. Since they have entered the officialdom, no matter what Yang Chenglie plans for the future, Yang Shouwen cannot let people talk...

He asked Lv Chengzhi to enter the city and explained to Zheng Jingsi.

Yang Shouwen, on the other hand, continued on the road and arrived at Heishi Beach in the middle of the night.

At the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were several major wars in Heishitan. The most famous battle was that Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Renze fought with the Wagang army here. The two sides used Heishitan as the battlefield and fought for half a month. In the end, Wang Renze was defeated. After Li Mi forced his cross to Heishitan, his troops came to Luoyang. If Li Mi could lead the lead in conquering Luoyang at this time, another situation might have emerged in history. But Dou Jiande was at the Huzhu, and Li Mi had to divide his troops to fight, which also changed the situation. Yuan Wen was killed, and Wang Shichong completely controlled Luoyang.

Black Rock Beach Valley, the water flows rapidly.

After Yang Shouwen and others arrived, they found that the ferry had stopped ferrying.

In desperation, the group had to camp on the river beach.

However, compared to last night when Bajiao Mountain, it was much deserted tonight. When we set out from Jiangbei, there were nearly a hundred people in the group.

But now, there are only in the fifty people including the wounded.

This also made the atmosphere much more dull. Although the bonfires on the river beach were beating, no one felt the warmth of the flames.

"Silo. What are you doing?"

Yang Shouwen inspected the camp, arranged the guards and returned to the campfire.

He saw Mingxiu took out a cloth bag from his shoulder bag and opened the cloth outside, revealing a tortoise shell inside.

Mingxiu put the tortoise shells to the fire and roasted them with a serious expression.

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but be curious and pointed at the tortoise shell in his hand to ask.

"Mr. Ming is divining."

Zhang Jiuling saw the clues on the side, couldn't help but stop Yang Shouwen, and explained softly: "This is a very ancient divination technique. Master Ming started the class first, and then used the patterns of the tortoise shells to burn the flames to perform divination.

I used to be in Guangzhou and I have seen people use this method.

It is more complex than the copper coin hexagram, and it is also very magical... When I saw the Taoist priest using tortoise shell to divine, he wanted to learn. Unfortunately, he later found out that the Taoist priest's Taoist priest's knowledge was too shallow, so he didn't study anymore."

After hearing this, Yang Shouwen wanted to say loudly to Zhang Jiuling: You are called superstition.

But thinking about it again, it is a magical thing for him to be reborn in the Wu Zhou Dynasty from an era of 1,500 years later. Science may not be able to explain this phenomenon clearly. What qualifications do he have to say that people are superstitious?

At the same time, Yang Shouwen was a little curious.

In later generations, divination and fortune-telling had long been included in the ranks of feudal superstitions, and there were even no frauds of the liar.

But the ancients have their own principles of inheritance for thousands of years.

Those people in later generations can only be said to be cheating liars, not real divination techniques.
