The third competition is about to begin!

Everyone lowered their heads and looked down, only to see many strong men running up around them. They tore apart the floor of the martial arts field with a few clicks, and a huge red cloth was spread underneath. When those people pulled the red cloth together,

After tearing them away, they discovered that under the entire martial arts field were countless wooden stakes. These wooden stakes were nailed deep into the ground. Each wooden stake was as thick as a fist. They were densely distributed in the martial arts field. At a glance, they seemed to be countless.

Star Dou.

And directly in front of Yaowu Tower, outside the third-floor tower, a bright red brocade flower was hung high!

When I saw this, I frowned slightly - could it be that the third competition was not the same as the previous test of weapons and fists, but was related to the flower?

The onlookers around saw the wooden stakes on the field and looked at the flower, and they were also talking about it. At this time, the officials at all levels who were invigilating the examination had gone to the viewing pavilion to pay their respects. Pei Yuanhao stood up slowly and joined them.

The queen and the other concubines walked towards Yaowu Tower over there.

I followed suit and followed suit.

After a while, a group of people climbed up to the three-story tower, where they could see the entire martial arts field below more clearly. At the other end of the martial arts field, ten candidates had already stood up and prostrated themselves towards the emperor.

Pei Yuanhao walked over, holding on to the railing with one hand, looking down with frosty eyes, and said loudly: "Listen, whoever can pick off this brocade flower first will be my warrior."

Top pick!"

The people below immediately cheered, especially the ten candidates, all of whom were confident and eager to try.

Pei Yuanhao raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "He is also the commander of the 800,000 imperial guards in this imperial city!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar below!

Commander of the Imperial Guard!

Although Chang Qing and I had considered before that he might promote talents after this martial arts test, we didn't expect that he would actually announce it like this!

The Nine Gates of the Imperial City are not just as simple as an official position. At some critical moments, they can even be said to be the life gate of the Imperial City. I have experienced a coup, and I know the stakes of the Nine Gates very well.

Moreover, these 800,000 Imperial Guardsmen were once Yang Yunhui's cronies. Pei Yuanhao has not been able to put them into the hands of trusted people over the years. Now he has to select a new person from the martial arts test. Is he really worthy of trust?

And is it really possible to suppress the 800,000 tiger and wolf troops?

Not only the candidates on the field, but also the officials in the viewing pavilion were shocked. From a distance, I saw Shen Gongye standing up in shock. Even though they were so far away, I could still feel those shrewd eyes.

With a greedy light in his eyes, he was holding on to the fence with both hands, as if he was going to crush him if he caught it, and he would never let go.

Then, he looked at the group of candidates. One of them, a tall and exceptionally heroic young man, looked at him, with an excited and determined smile on his childish face, and looked at him.

He nodded vigorously.

Even Chang Qing, who had always been indifferent, changed her face slightly and looked at me. I also looked at her with some worry, and both of them looked at Pei Yuanhao's back at the same time.

Although Sun Jingfei's skills just revealed are indeed extraordinary, after all, the exam is not over yet, and there may be other variables. Although he admires Sun Jingfei, he should not announce it just like this. If something unexpected happens, this position of commander of the Imperial Guard

If it falls into the hands of others——

He shouldn't be such an impulsive person.

But we didn’t allow us to think about it any further. We saw the examiner below walking up to a high platform with a huge gong and drum hanging on it. He held a wooden stake and said loudly: "Listen. All candidates must sit on the wooden stake.

There is a competition, and the one who drops the wooden stake loses. Whoever can pick off the red flower first within one stick of incense will be the winner! Do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

"Okay, the competition begins!"

After saying that, he hit the gong hard, and after a loud bang, the candidates rushed forward, jumped on the wooden stakes, and ran towards Yaowu Tower!

For martial arts practitioners, the lower body is unstable and unable to generate strength, so the plum blossom pile has always been a compulsory skill for martial arts practitioners to learn at the beginning. These ten candidates who have made it to this point are by no means ordinary people.

The people walked on the wooden piles like flying, and soon people gathered from all directions and arrived at Yaowu Downstairs.

It has to be said that Sun Jingfei was worthy of the appreciation of the emperor and the empress. He had very solid skills and could walk on the plum blossom piles like flying. He was the first to get downstairs. But just when he was about to get up and climb the stairs, the people behind him were already there.

He chased after him, grabbed his ankle and dragged him down!

The eyes of all of us were actually on him, and at this time we felt a little pinched in our hearts.

Seeing that he was about to be torn off the wooden stake, he did not panic at all. He turned his body in the air and cleverly stepped onto the wooden stake on the other side, holding himself firmly!

But immediately, other people have also caught up, climbing the stairs and blocking, and for a while you came and went, fighting fiercely.

When it comes to martial arts, I am indeed an outsider. I can only see the liveliness of every move, not the subtlety, but I can clearly see the following situation - the relationship between these ten people is actually very subtle.

We are enemies with everyone, but under certain circumstances, we cannot help but have to cooperate to defend against the enemy. After the enemy is removed, we must immediately resume the hostile relationship. It feels like - like locking a wild beast in a cage.

Here, they bite and kill each other.

No matter what means you use, you must survive to the last one!

I know very well the feeling of being surrounded by enemies. I have to be wary of everyone and take advantage of every opportunity to help others get rid of their enemies, because their enemies are also their own enemies; even when I am being attacked

, if you want to retain your strength, you will inevitably lead the war to others. Only in this way can you survive to the end.

The feeling of being trapped in a prehistoric world and having to use my last strength to survive. Although I try my best to forget it, I can never really forget it. It seems to have been imprinted in my life.

It is precisely because of this that I saw something strange in this melee.

Among those ten people, there seemed to be two or three people who had just worked together to defeat one person, and they almost simultaneously attacked the next target together until that target was also defeated.

No matter how they fought with the people around them, they were never hostile.

Is this my misunderstanding?

But there was a kind of uneasiness in my heart, faintly rising up.

In an instant, three people had been kicked off the plum blossom stakes. Sun Jingfei fought with those people a few times, and his brows tightened. Seeing one of them sweeping over with a kick, trying to break the wooden stake under his feet, he simply used his strength.

With a stamp of his feet, the wooden stake under his feet broke. He jumped up and climbed onto the first floor of the tower, looking down.

When those few people saw that he had climbed up quickly, they looked at each other and climbed up one after another.

Going upstairs, the fight became more intense. I held on to the fence and looked down. I could only see them going back and forth, fighting with each other. Although Sun Jingfei was tall and burly, he was not bulky at all, but was very flexible.

, he wrapped one hand around the red silk hanging down from the corner of the building, and flew around, constantly flying back and forth under the attacks of several people.

But even so, it was difficult for two fists to withstand four hands. Those people seemed to regard him as their opponent. Under the siege of several people, he had no way to take another step. He could only stand in a stalemate in the center of the second floor, watching

Two people fell on the corner of the building and trapped him. The other quickly climbed up and was already on the third floor in an instant.

Sun Jingfei looked up and his face became extremely solemn.

He wrapped the red silk around his waist with his backhand, and used the force to fly up and kick one of them. The man showed no fear and kicked him hard. The two of them hit their feet, and Sun Jingfei used the force to kick them.

With strength, he jumped up, holding one hand on the corner of the building and looking down. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked up again. The person who climbed the highest also lowered his head and saw the movement below. His feet happened to be on the roof.

On the corner, it was no more than a foot away from Sun Jingfei’s hand.

At this time, everyone around him couldn't help but take a breath of air.

If he steps down now, Sun Jingfei will be kicked down the stairs even if his hand is not injured.

Surprisingly, this man did not have any entanglement with Sun Jingfei at all. Instead, he stepped down hard, and a large piece of the tiles in the corner of the house was shattered. His whole body was as light as a kite turning over, and he jumped up using the force.

He jumped up to the third floor and grabbed the fence outside the tower with one hand.

The red flower was already right in front of him.

When the people below saw his dangerous move, some of the knowledgeable ones applauded. This man's skills are indeed not simple!

Almost everyone is thinking about one thing——

He won today’s competition!

However, as soon as I saw him jumping up to the third floor and climbing outside, the uneasiness in my heart became more and more restless at this moment. Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, as if I realized something, I immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "

Be careful, he is an assassin!"

Almost at the same time, Sun Jingfei also shouted: "Assassin!"

"What, assassin?"

Everyone around was shocked.

For today's martial arts test, both the emperor and the empress came to Yaowu Tower. The guards were originally extremely tight. Moreover, after the previous competition, the inside and outside of Yaowu Tower were clearly inspected. These candidates were not allowed to bring any weapons to their bodies.

If they were allowed to climb the building with bare hands and fight, even if there were assassins, there would be no way to assassinate them at this time.

Therefore, when Sun Jingfei and I shouted out, everyone around us was stunned for a moment.

But in this flash of lightning, the man's hand that was clinging to the fence squeezed in hard, and his five fingers dug into the wood like iron hooks. He actually crushed the wood and pulled out a piece of wood.

The thick and long iron nails shone with a cold light.

Suddenly, everyone around was shocked.
Chapter completed!
