690: C690

C690

That night, Tang Yin held a small banquet at the Duke Palaces, which invited Lei Zhen, Wei Xuan, Ye Tang and Nan Ye, who had won the match today.

There were not many people at the banquet, other than Tang Yin and the four victors, there was also Qiu Zhen.

Tang Yin sat in the middle and glanced at the four people who were seated on either side of him. He smiled slightly, raised his wine cup and said: "Today, this king has something to delay, and was unable to personally come to the military arena to witness the battle. It's truly a pity.

"Thank you, King!" The four of them raised their wine cups together and started drinking with Tang Yin.

Tang Yin put down his cup and said faintly: "In this competition, it is still secondary to letting everyone differentiate between the strong and weak. The main reason is to let everyone display the elegance of a mighty warrior of the Great Gale.

The four of them did not know how to respond. Nobody said anything as they sat there.

Seeing that, Qiu Zhen lightly cleared his throat, hinting the four of them not to remain silent.

The four of them understood what he meant, and looked at each other before cupping their hands and saying, "The King is wise."

Tang Yin smiled indifferently and asked: "After the competition is over, everyone can remain in the army to take up your position! Right now is a time of national crisis and urgent need for manpower. This king wishes for all of you to serve the country and to be loyal to the Son of Heaven.

Hearing this, the four of them all felt joy and worry.

The reason they were happy was because Wei Xuan and Ye Tang both had the intention to join the army and surrender. Now that the King had personally invited them, it could already be considered as giving them face, so the two of them naturally accepted with glee. The ones who were worried were Lei Zhen and Nan Ye.

Lei Zhen was not willing to join the army, and had never thought of joining the army. Although Nan Ye did not reject joining the army, he did not have confidence in his own abilities.

The first to speak was Lei Zhen. He cupped his hands together and said, "I thank the King for her kindness, but with regards to the army, I beg your pardon for being unable to comply."

Tang Yin was curious as to why Lei Zhen would reject joining the army, so he asked: "Tell me your reason."

Lei Zhen said with a serious expression: "This lowly one is now the only son of my family, and my parents are already old, so this lowly one does not dare to stay too far away from my parents; I originally had two older brothers, but they both died on the Hedong Battlefield three years ago, and the Lei Family has already repaid the nation's debt, so I wish to stay at home and pay my respects to the two elders."

"So that's how it is." After Tang Yin heard this, he was moved. He raised his head and sighed: "The king is useless, he killed the general; the general is incompetent, he is a pile of bones. Who knows how many people have met who knows how many people with the same Feng Country as you! This king instead feels that you should report yourself to the nation and join the army, do everything in your power to prevent the Hedong tragedy from happening again. "

Seeing that Lei Zhen wanted to speak, Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "This king will not force you. Whether you go or stay, will all be up to you." After he finished speaking, his gaze turned towards Nan Ye as he smiled and asked: "Nan Ye, you're not willing to join the army either?"

Nan Ye immediately cupped his hands and replied: "This lowly one's knowledge is shallow, my ability is lacking, I am afraid if I were to work in the army, I will kill the brothers in the army."

Tang Yin secretly nodded, Nan Ye was well aware of his own situation. He said, "I have something I don't understand. I wonder if you can tell me."

"Ah, the King is too polite. Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please speak.

"You haven't used your full strength in the last two days, have you?" Tang Yin asked.

In their opinion, the weakest out of the four of them was Nan Ye. The two victories were all based on luck, they never thought that was deliberately hiding his true strength.

Nan Ye was startled at first, but then bowed and said: "My King is wise, I have indeed not used my full strength in the two matches."

Unexpectedly, he had admitted it so straightforwardly. Tang Yin was amused and asked: "Why is that so?"

"This little one is not deliberately concealing anything, I am just taking the opportunity to train." Nan Ye explained in a serious tone: "Although I have been cultivating in the Spirit Martial Realm since I was young, I have never fought with anyone else, and have no experience in fighting with enemies. So in these two matches, I want to use it as an opportunity to increase my combat experience and techniques.

"Haha ? ?" Tang Yin laughed at the top of his head, thinking that he was really smart, if it was as Nan Ye had said, he did not have any experience at fighting opponents, nor did he understand their techniques, then finding weaker opponents to train first was the best choice, and in the following battles, his opponents would become stronger and stronger, which was more beneficial to his growth.

Tang Yin praised: "Wise, smart, fully aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, don't care about the suspicions and contempt of others, but only do what you think is right. Nan Ye, you are very suitable to be a general in the army, stay!"

His praise undoubtedly gave Nan Ye a lot of confidence, and also allowed him to completely dispel the worries in his heart. He stood up, respectfully kowtowing and said, "I thank the King for her grace!"

"Stand up!" Tang Yin was ecstatic, he smiled and waved his hand. With Nan Ye's spirit power and mind, not only did he have a strong opponent, he was also a general. What he lacked the most in Feng Army was a soldier like, so he was naturally happy that he could take him in as his own.

Then, he looked at Wei Xuan and Ye Tang, asking them if they were willing to stay in the army. Wei and Ye did not object, they left their seats and kowtowed to Tang Yin to express their gratitude.

Other than Lei Zhen, all four of them expressed their willingness to stay in the army to serve and serve Tang Yin.

Tang Yin's mood was especially good. During the banquet, he continuously toasted to everyone and repeatedly said, 'Once you enter the Feng Army, you are brother, and in the future, we will share hardships together, honor and disgrace together'. Seeing how amiable he was to others, the four of them gradually stopped being as reserved as they were at the start.

After this banquet, the four people had a much better impression of Tang Yin, they felt that he did not have a bit of arrogance in him, and even called them brothers because of his status as a commoner. This was something that probably not even the ministers of the imperial court could do.

How could they have known that Tang Yin's usual close relative, Zhong Wu Qingwen, would only show his most benevolent and kind side in front of the soldiers and soldiers.

The next day, the martial arts competition continued.

This time, the ones fighting were Lei Zhen and Ye Tang, Nan Ye and Wei Xuan.

In today's competition, Tang Yin had personally come to spectate, and that was to further understand the strength of the four of them.

The first two to take part were Lei Zhen and Ye Tang.

The two used their unique skills the moment they got on the stage and started fighting.

Lei Zhen had great strength and a profound cultivation, so he used all sorts of methods and techniques.

Ye Tang's strength was weaker than his, his cultivation was weaker, so naturally he would not fight him head on. But whether it was fighting techniques or spirit skills, Ye Tang was proficient in all of them. Furthermore, he was an expert in riding, sitting on the horse and rushing left and right, he was able to move as he pleased and his killing move gave Lei Zhen a headache from time to time.

Not long after, the two of them had already fiercely fought for thirty rounds, and before long, the two of them were still fighting. The surrounding Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s watched with their blood boiling, not knowing who to cheer for, they clapped and screamed until their throats were turning hoarse.

Ye Tang's roaming battles were effective, but it also consumed a lot of stamina. He could still persevere on for a short period of time, and after a while, even his warhorses would not be able to take it.

Seeing that he could not go on like this, Ye Tang made a feint and lost.

Lei Zhen who was just about to get fired up wasn't willing to let him go, he immediately urged his horse to chase after him.

Hearing that Lei Zhen had caught up, Ye Tang was secretly happy. He quickly took out a handful of Longbow s from the hooks of the war horse and pulled out a steel arrow from under his ribs.

The sound of Lei Zhen's hooves got closer and closer, to the point that Ye Tang was able to hear the panting of the other party's warhorses. Abruptly, he raised the bow and arrows that were hidden in front of him, turned around, and aimed at Lei Zhen's face and shot an arrow.

This was a martial competition, not a battle of life and death, Ye Tang was merciful and did not transform his arrows, but even so, his sudden arrow attack was extremely fast, and his distance with Lei Zhen was too close, the moment the steel arrow left the Longbow, it had already flown in front of Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen did not have a peek in his eyes, and it was impossible for him to see through Ye Tang's body to see the bow and arrows in front of him, and he was also caught unprepared by the arrow, but maybe because of his family background, Lei Zhen's reaction was too fast, at the moment of life and death, he moved his body to the side with all his might, and with a pa sound, the steel arrow grinded against his Spirit Armor on his face. However, at the same time, the Spirit Halberd in Lei Zhen's hand swept across Ye Tang's waist, and struck him down from the horse.

Ye Tang showed mercy, but Lei Zhen did not kill him. Instead, he used the tip of his halberd to smash onto Ye Tang's body.

Seeing that Ye Tang had been knocked off his horse, the cheers from the surroundings reached their highest point. In the past three days, the people's impression of Lei Zhen had become the most profound, and they were also subdued by his powerful spirit force. Now that he had obtained victory once again, everyone spontaneously shouted out Lei Zhen's name, raising their arms and cheering loudly.

Lei Zhen kept a low profile, but at the same time, his blood was boiling due to the surrounding tsunami-like shouts. He looked around, and after taking two deep breaths, he calmed himself down, and then jumped down from his horse. He quickly went over to Ye Tang who was lying on the ground and asked with concern: "Is Brother Ye injured?"

The force of his halberd attack was not light. Even with the protection of the spirit armor, Ye Tang felt a splitting pain on his waist. With Lei Zhen's support, he stood up with much difficulty, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It's alright!"

Lei Zhen cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Brother Ye for showing mercy just now ?."

"Huh?" Ye Tang waved his hand, and said humbly: "Brother Lei's cultivation is deep, so even if I shot out the Spirit Arrow, I probably won't be able to harm you. "I've lost this battle."

With regards to Ye Tang's open and aboveboard personality, Lei Zhen was extremely impressed.

Ye Tang looked at the surrounding Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s who were shouting, and said: If we count it as a draw, and even the spectators are not convinced, then Brother Lei need not be humble anymore. As he spoke, he limped to the front of his warhorse and held onto the reins.

Lei Zhen defeating Ye Tang, this battle was both intense and exciting, also pushing the atmosphere of the drill grounds to the peak. The next battle was between Nan Ye and Wei Xuan.

Before the fight, Wei Xuan cupped his hands towards Nan Ye and said: "Brother Nan, I hope you can use your true abilities in this fight. Don't use it to practice!"

Nan Ye's old face flushed red, he became a little embarrassed and quickly cupped his hands in return and said: "I dare not, dare not, Brother Wei is an outstanding person, how do I dare not go all out?!"

"That's for the best!" Wei Xuan looked deeply at him for a moment, then picked up the silver spear that hung from his winning hook.0
