Mrs. Tang was a little uneasy. When she entered the city, she almost knocked over a young man. Fortunately, the female rider beside her was quick-eyed and grabbed the reins.

Mrs. Tang was uneasy and asked if the boy was injured.

The boy got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, bowed his hand, smiled embarrassedly, said, "It's okay, and turned around and went into the city."

Xun Wenqian looked around and couldn't help but feel curious.

She saw several young men, dressed in delicate or simple clothes, but were all in a hurry with an excited look. When she arrived at the city gate, she took out a similar message of the road. After seeing it, the soldiers guarding the city looked, and pointed to the same direction and let it go.

"This is……"

Zhang Qian immediately took over the topic. "The noble man doesn't know what he is here to join the army."

"Join the army?"

"Yes. The emperor plans to recruit a group of young men in Jingzhou, either join the imperial guards, or enter the martial arts lecture hall. The imperial edict issued a few days ago, and the ones in the distance have not arrived yet. These should be from nearby counties."

Xun Wenqian suddenly realized.

The emperor has this habit, one is for the sake of people's hearts and the other is for talents.

Recruiting talents from ordinary people and cultivating them is also one of the means to compete with the aristocratic families. However, this has little impact on the Confucian school, and the most affected are the warriors.

With the martial arts lecture hall, the court has sufficient generals to use, and there is no need to rely on generals anymore.

Lu Xiaohuan, who was talking to Ma Yunlu, heard this and looked at Ma Yunlu. "Can there be a female cavalry recruiting?"

Ma Yunlu looked confused and shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.

Zhang Qian took over the topic again. "Although Nanyang is rich, the people's customs are weak. If Cai Lingshi comes, it will be no problem to recruit some female knights, and it will be difficult to recruit female knights."

Lu Xiaohuan was a little unhappy and gave Zhang Qian a blank look. Just as he was about to speak, Ma Yunlu grabbed her, attached it to her ear, and softly explained Zhang Qian's identity.

When Lu Xiaohuan learned that he was the wife of the emperor's brother, he didn't dare to be arrogant, but he was a little unhappy.

In her opinion, she and Ma Yunlu are the highest generals of the female cavalry. Although Zhang Qian is a royal relative, she is just an ordinary female cavalry, so she is not qualified to interrupt.

It must be that Ma Yunlu gave birth to a son and neglected to discipline him, which made Zhang Qian gain the power.

"Sister, do you have time to hunt?" Lu Xiaohuan said to Ma Yunlu: "Long time no see, I'll see how female riders have made progress and what kind of talents have they recruited in Jizhou."

When Ma Yunlu heard this, he understood what Lu Xiaohuan meant. As soon as he was about to stop him, Zhang Qian said first: "I heard for a long time that Duke Lu is the daughter of a flying general, and he is very good at riding and shooting. It is also good to be able to hunt with Duke Lu and have a long knowledge. There is a hunting ground outside Wancheng. When Duke Lu is resting, I will accompany you."

Ma Yunlu frowned, a little unhappy.

Fu Shou saw it and frowned.

Zhang Qian said again: "Carrying, shooting, hunting, and hunting are all about warriors, and the queen may not like it. However, the school of Nanyang County is very famous. If your highness is interested, you might as well move to visit."

When Fu Shou heard this, he turned anger into joy and nodded with a smile.

She knew that Nanyang had implemented education earlier, and with the wealth, the scale of county schools far exceeded that of other counties and countries. However, Zhang Ji was a martial artist, and although Ding Chong was a scholar, he had no good feelings for women to study. Therefore, Nanyang County schools were all men, which was somewhat different from the emperor's ideas.

Now that she has come to Nanyang, she may be able to do something in this regard and share the worries of the emperor.

——

Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a group of teenagers. There were two people fighting in the middle, fighting fiercely.

One of them was Cao Zhang, and the other was here to join the army, named Wei Yan.

"How about this kid?" Liu Xie whispered to Shi Ah.

Shi Ah withdrew her gaze and bowed slightly. "The muscles and bones are very good, but she has not been guided by a famous teacher. She has rough skills and can only rely on her courage. If she fights with ordinary people, there is no problem. When she meets a real master, she will inevitably show her timidity."

"Teach now, isn't it a problem?"

"No problem." Shi Ah smiled and said, "As long as you have to suffer more, you must first correct the wrong fists and feet and practice again, so that you can become a great person."

Liu Xie nodded and said nothing.

While speaking, the two of them had already decided to win. Cao Zhang seized the opportunity and slashed three times in a row. Taking advantage of Wei Yan's stance, he suddenly kicked Wei Yan and his men and shields away.

Wei Yan fell to the ground, covered in dust.

Cao Zhang proudly played a trick on his sword. "Are you convinced?"

Wei Yan stared at Cao Zhang fiercely. "I don't agree. You just rely on your strength and your martial arts are average. If I hadn't been on the road for a few days and was hit by a horse at the city gate, I wouldn't have lost to you."

"And, your mouth is stubborn." Cao Zhang curled his lips disdainfully, and even put his knife into the sheath, reaching out to pull Wei Yan. "My name is Cao Zhang. You have a rest and you can come to me at any time. I will definitely beat you until you accept it."

Wei Yan stood up, clapped his hands in a little depressed state, and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Liu Xie stopped him.

Before Wei Yan could react, Cao Zhang grabbed him first. "What are you running? Losing to me doesn't mean you have no chance."

Wei Yan was stunned, looked back at Liu Xie, and then at Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang grinned, his chest was high, and he looked up arrogantly. "I am a natural master, and not many people can beat me. You can support me for a few rounds, and you have met the requirements."

Wei Yan was overjoyed and rushed to Liu Xie and bowed.

"grown ups……"

"What a lord?" Cao Zhang rushed over and patted him. "This is the emperor, call His Majesty quickly."

Wei Yan was shocked, and the teenagers who took the exam were also shocked.

Liu Xie dressed simply and didn't look carefully, which was no different from other warriors. They only thought that Liu Xie was an ordinary examiner and had a higher status at most, and never thought that he would be the emperor.

This is the young hero who was born in accordance with the will of heaven and turned the tide in just a few years?

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty." Wei Yan reacted and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The teenagers who took the exam also reacted and knelt down one after another.

"Get up, those who don't know are not guilty." Liu Xie reached out and patted Wei Yan on the shoulder. "Where are you from?"

"Go to Your Majesty, Xiaomin is from Yiyang."

"Yiyang is not close to Wancheng. The edict for recruiting troops has just arrived in your county?"

"Xiaomin didn't see the edict." Wei Yan answered first: "Xiaomin heard that Your Majesty was coming to Nanyang, so he was ready to join the army. When he arrived in Wancheng, he realized that Your Majesty issued an edict to recruit soldiers."

He raised his head and raised his chest. "When Xiaomin heard that His Majesty pacified Liangzhou, he wanted to join the army and lead his horse for His Majesty. It was only when he was young and his parents refused, so he delayed it until now."

Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh. "So, you have been waiting for me to come, so you didn't respond to the recruitment of General Cavalry?"

Wei Yan curled his lips. "The cavalry general is brave but not wise, and he is not worthy of his position. The common people don't want to follow him."

"Rare!" Meng Da, the governor of the left, shouted sternly. "You dare to talk to the ministers in front of His Majesty. You are so brave. Who instructed you to come?"

Wei Yan was startled and shook his hand repeatedly. "No one instructed me, I just..." He uttered, and didn't dare to continue talking.

Liu Xie frowned. "Have you ever studied?" Without waiting for Wei Yan to answer, he said again: "You are so unrestrained, I'm afraid you won't read it well. So, you go to the county to study for a year and come for the exam next year."
