An Zheng did not wait long in Ministry of War, but he did not wait for the Minister who was in charge of the martial academy's affairs to arrive. When he saw General Wang Kaitai yesterday, he said that Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of War Chen Zaiyan would personally meet him. Not long after Hao Pingan left, a general dressed in battle armor clothes came to the Little Flower Garden to find An Zheng and Du Shoushou, and brought them to the Martial Arts Academy to report their arrival.

Actually, An Zheng and his friends also had other choices. There were countless sect in the Fanggu City, and they all had deep backgrounds. Other than these sect s, there were also many official academies. Among them, the most famous were the Great Cauldron Academy opened by the Great Yan's royal family, the School of Management opened by the Sect Leader, the Shang Wu Yuan s of the Ning Yuan Sect, the Pure Spirit Sect, the Uppermost Tao Field and the military.

However, since An Zheng had chosen the Shang Wu Yuan, then Du Shoushou and the others would naturally not choose to go somewhere else.

It could be said that Grand Autumn Ceremony was a very small chance for the disciples of the Humble Class of the Yan Kingdom to stand out, but in reality, such a chance was extremely small. This was because the majority of the glittering geniuses in the Grand Autumn Ceremony came from these large sect or academies. Everyone knew that once they succeeded in Grand Autumn Ceremony, they would be recruited by her. No sect could resist this temptation. It was not as simple as having light on the face of a sect when its disciple became the pillar of the imperial government.

In the beginning, the Grand Autumn Ceremony was just a simple selection, but because these young talents were quickly given great importance after entering the imperial government, all the yamen authorities started to pay attention to this selection method.

This was because in the years of war, not only were there a lack of people in the Ministry of War, all of the departments needed a shortage of people. Once you join the military, the fastest way to advance is to gain merits on the battlefield.

The general that was in charge of bringing An Zheng to the Shang Wu Yuan was called Fang Daozhi. He was not very old, and looked to be at most 25 or 26 years old. However, the armor on him clearly told others that he was a proper General Ying Yang.

"The Martial Arts Academy never accepts trash nor people who enter through the back door."

Fang Daozhi had a cold and indifferent personality, moreover, when he spoke, he didn't seem to care too much about the feelings of others.

He walked in front with An Zheng following behind him. From start to end, his words made people feel disgusted.

"Thus, I do not have any good impressions towards the two of you."

Fang Daozhi stood still, and looked back at An Zheng and Du Shoushou: "You two should be clear enough that for the sake of entering the Shang Wu Yuan, the most direct way for those youths is to go to the border and fight with the enemy true blade and spear. And for the sake of this dream, not even one in a hundred would be able to succeed. There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is that they died before they could accumulate enough military merits. "

"I don't know why you two were directly recruited into the Martial Arts Academy. You can even ignore the selection process." I believe that the Ministry of War is fair and I believe that the Shang Wu Yuan is fair, so I forced myself to believe that all of you are extraordinary. Even so, I still think you're thieves. You guys stole a few slots from those youngsters who were working hard at the border. "

He turned around and said, "I've finished speaking. You guys should be unhappy, but it doesn't matter. I never intended you to like me, because I don't like you. "

An Zheng followed behind and said calmly: "We didn't steal a few spots, we stole them."

Fang Daozhi stopped again, his tone becoming even more severe: "Then I hope that you can fight for it fair and square."

An Zheng stopped and said, "That's why I don't plan to go to the Martial Arts Academy."

Fang Daozhi frowned, "You should know the crime of disobeying an order."

An Zheng turned around: "I don't know what crime it is, I just don't want anyone to poke my spine. If even the military did not believe the recommendation, then it was not that they were harsh, it was because they were arrogant. I won't change my mind because of someone, even if you are a General Ying Yang with positive fourth rank. "The reason I'm not going to the Martial Arts Academy right now is because I want to give you some chances to those people who want to change their fates. We will participate in the exam, and if we enter the Martial Arts Academy on our own, I believe you will shut up."

As he walked, he said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing for the general if we were eliminated because we couldn't get through the back door?"

Fang Daozhi's body flashed and stopped An Zheng, but anger had already appeared in his eyes: "Do you know the consequences of doing so?! You are looking down on the rules of the Ministry of War, and are disobeying the orders of the Ministry of War."

An Zheng replied seriously: "Do you know why I want to enter the Martial Arts Academy? Do you think I want to change my fate? No, I entered the Martial Arts Academy just to prove to a dead man his judgement. If I don't enter the Martial Arts Academy, I can still live a good life. However, if those brothers of the border armies did not enter the Martial Arts Academy, there would be no possibility for their lives to change. I can compete with them in an open and aboveboard manner, so naturally, I won't lose on purpose to anyone. "

Fang Daozhi was a little confused, he did not understand what An Zheng meant. He was one of the generals that Tie Liuhuo had left in the Ministry of War. This time, he was not with the army to go south.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you in accordance with military law if you do this?"

he asked.

An Zheng replied: "That only means that you are not fit to stay in Ministry of War, and that you have let down the Eagle Armor."

Fang Daozhi was so angry that he laughed instead. "Alright, then let me see what abilities you have. I'll wait for you in the examination hall of the Martial Academy."

An Zheng and Du Shoushou walked in large strides: "No need, you just wait for me on the stage."

Du Shoushou asked An Zheng: "Why are you opposing that general?"

An Zheng answered: "Firstly, we don't want others to say that we entered the Martial Arts Academy on our own. Secondly, I want to be worthy of Qiu Changchen's recommendation. "

Du Shoushou: "Anyway, I don't understand these things, I'll do whatever you say. However, it was good to be able to enter by relying on one's own abilities. It was better to avoid being gossiped about by others and also be able to spar with those examinees. Just the thought of it made him excited. We've cultivated in Fringe City for three and a half years, so it's time for us to test out our strength. "

The two of them left the Ministry of War and returned to their residence.

Fang Daozhi looked at the backs of An Zheng and Du Shoushou, and suddenly laughed: "I hope the two of you don't forget what you just boasted. Sometimes, when you stand up straight, you have to prove yourself. I have said it before, I do not doubt the justice of the Ministry of War, and do not doubt the justice of the dojo. I only hope that the two of you can straighten your backs as you walk now, and not be afraid of being poked by anyone. "

Minister of War walked to his side, coughed and said, "I really shouldn't have kept you here, how long are you going to take to vent your anger?"

Fang Daozhi shrugged his shoulders, "Sire, tell me, if I were to go to the Southern Frontier to fight it out, my military merits should not be small."

"Of course not."

"So if I stay in the Ministry of War, I won't get a raise, nor will I get a promotion. What can I do without any grievances?"

"You are already the fastest person in Great Yan to date. It is only four years old and has only been in the army for four years.

"You shouldn't say that. If General Fang Zhiji had allowed me to join the army before the age of twenty, I might have already reached the second rank."

Fang Daozhi turned around and was about to leave: "So Master doesn't plan to buy me a drink to make up for it?"

Hao Pingan shook his head: "I can't afford it, I've already used up my salary."

Fang Daozhi was startled for a moment, then suddenly remembered the support center for the military in the capital city, the soldiers who were severely injured in the war. Seventy percent of Hao Pingan's salary as a senior second rank official was sent to the maintenance to improve the lives of the wounded soldiers.

Fang Daozhi laughed bitterly: "My salary is almost spent too, but it just happens to be enough for two pots of wine and a roasted goose."

Hao Pingan said in all seriousness: "What kind of roasted geese do you want? "Three jugs of wine!"

When An Zheng and Du Shoushou returned to their residences, it was already noon. These big sized men were actually not Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples, because they could not cultivate. But An Zheng had given them the correct body transformation method, so their fighting strength was much stronger than ordinary martial artists. These people were all from similar backgrounds, all of whom An Zheng had taken in.

There was no war between the Zhao Kingdom s, but there were friction with the Zhuoguo s. These big men were from Zhao Kingdom, Yanzhou and some others. They were all from poor families who couldn't pass through the border and were taken in by An Zheng as bandits. They had a good temper and had to rob the rich to make a living in that environment, but they never hurt anyone. These people could be saved, so An Zheng saved them all.

With An Zheng's eyesight and his methods, earning money was as easy as flipping his palm. Therefore, during the three and a half years in Fringe City, An Zheng had accumulated an enormous amount of wealth.

An Zheng said that if a good person had to suffer, who the hell would be willing to be a good person? Therefore, to be a good person, one had to have wine, eat meat, and spend money. No matter how comfortable they were, they had to go through with it.

"Don't enter the Heaven Defying Seal for the next few days."

An Zheng explained: "This is the Fanggu City, not the Fringe City nor the Fantasy Eternal Residence, there are countless of experts here. So, as long as we use Heaven Defying Seal s, we might be discovered. "

Du Shoushou nodded: "In the few days before the assessment, I'll train with them."

Although he was still young, he liked to drink with the big men the most. Du Shoushou's alcohol capacity was astonishing now, and the number of times he had knocked the big men down increased. He was naturally frank and unscheming, and everyone liked to get along with him.

"Go."

An Zheng patted Du Shoushou's shoulder: "In a while, I'll go out to buy a few sheep. I'll roast some food in the courtyard. However, it was still the same old rule: whoever drank wine or caused trouble would be directly crippled. Whoever caused the most trouble would be killed without mercy. This is the Great Yan, but I do not follow the Great Yan's Law s and rules, I only follow my Heavenly Awakening Sect's rules. "

Du Shoushou said: "Alright, you can rest assured. Don't you know these guys? No one can do the dirty stuff of drinking and making trouble. "

Du Shoushou waved and ran off to wrestle with the men.

When An Zheng walked to the door of his own room, he saw through the window that Qu Liuxi was helping him tidy up the room. No matter where he lived, the bed sheets would never be washed clean by Qu Liuxi in more than seven days.

An Zheng wanted to greet her, but he was afraid that Qu Liuxi would blush, so he stood at the door and looked at her quietly. After Qu Liuxi finished packing and was ready to leave, An Zheng left first.

Gu Qianye sat on top of a wall far away and watched as she swung her beautiful legs with a wine jug, then curled her lips: "Truly two troublesome people.

She jumped down from the wall and found the Old Huo leaning against the wall, drinking from a wine jug.

"Master, you will scare me to death if you do this." "He clearly doesn't know how to cultivate, but why is it that he doesn't even make a sound when he walks?"

Old Huo: "Pfft, my walking sound is loud, you can't hear me, my thoughts are all over there, do you blame me?"

Gu Qianye would never blush, she laughed: "Aiyah, that kid is so handsome, so what's wrong with looking at him for a bit?"

Old Huo: "I have a Ecstasy. You can put it in a wine pot and let that brat drink it. He was confused, so he just let you do whatever you want. "

Gu Qianye: "Master, you don't seem to respect your age by saying that. Even if I wanted to snatch someone from the Xiao Liu'er, it would be a fair and square snatch, how could I possibly use a Ecstasy?! "

Old Huo nodded: "I respect you for being a man."

Gu Qianye moved closer, "Do you have aphrodisiac?"

Old Huo: "Cough, cough ?"

He left.

Gu Qianye raised his eyebrows, "This master, no matter how old you are, your skin might not be as thick as mine."

She skipped away as if she had forgotten her displeasure in the blink of an eye.
