Xia He stood in the yard, looking at the group of people in front of him, and he already knew why they came.
"This time when we are selecting the peak, we thought that if we can take Brother Xia as the leader and look after each other, we can also gain a firm foothold among the four camps."
Several people nearby echoed his words sincerely, obviously impressed by Xia He's performance at the banquet.
Xia He glanced at everyone and saw their sincere expressions. He hesitated for a moment and did not agree directly. He just smiled and said:
"I understand your intentions, but there are many variables in the matter of selecting peaks, and I may not be able to take care of everyone. How about this, we will see the situation at that time, and if necessary, we can take care of each other, how about that?"
Peng Xinwen said, with a smile on his face, nodding repeatedly:
"Brother Xia is right. We won't force it. We just hope to have a backbone so that we won't be bullied by those children from aristocratic families."
The few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and seeing Xia He's warm attitude, they all breathed a sigh of relief and tactfully said goodbye and left.
After they walked away, Xia He turned back to the house, thinking secretly in his heart.
"It seems that the selection of the four major camps this time is much more complicated than I thought."
He whispered to himself,
"Master Li's Martial Saint inheritance is indeed very popular, attracting so many people."
"However, even if I don't want to offend anyone, a noble family like Li Wu will probably not let me go easily. The old emperor's decree is ostensibly to select talents, but in reality, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives."
"This old emperor is a piece of shit!"
Xia He decided to wait and see.
In the next few days, he lived in the yard with peace of mind. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, he went out to familiarize himself with the local situation and customs of Yunzhou.
Time passed quickly, and it was the day of the peak selection. As soon as the sky was light, the courtyards of the post station were in commotion.
Xia He pushed open the door and saw shadowy figures in the yard. Many of them were already ready to go, with excitement and nervousness on their faces.
At this moment, Peng Xin strode in from outside the courtyard with a smile on his face:
"Brother Xia, you got up pretty early! We have to hurry to the training ground to gather. I heard that the peak selection site this time is not in the city, so we have to leave the city first."
Xia He raised his eyebrows when he heard this, a little surprised:
"Not in the city? Wasn't the peak selection held in the city's training ground in the past? Why did they change the location this year?"
Xia He was a little curious. In the past, the selection of peaks was nothing more than a test of the battle formation, battlefield command, and personal strength.
It is usually held in the city, why was it suddenly changed this year?
Peng Xin shrugged and said:
"Who knows? I heard that Supervisor Li changed the rules for this peak selection. Maybe he wanted to test our ability to respond."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get there."
Since it was decided by Commander Li himself, it shouldn't be considered a bad thing.
The two of them walked together and headed towards the military camp in the east.
When we arrived, there were already hundreds of people gathered on the parade grounds. All of them looked extraordinary and were obviously elites selected from various states.
Xia He took a quick glance.
“The competition is fierce!”
This parade ground is at least as big as three or four football fields and can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people. The surrounding Yunzhou soldiers had already formed a square formation and were waiting at the edge.
The selection of the top players for the four camps is not a one-on-one fight, but also tests one's ability to command soldiers. They will be selected from here at that time. Erpang and others are also among these teams.
Everyone stood there. Li Wu stood not far away. When he saw Xia He, he nodded slightly, but his expression could not be seen.
As usual, there were a group of people around him who were trying to curry favor with him. Zhao Meng, who had suffered a loss at the hands of Xia He yesterday, stared at him viciously. I'm afraid his mind was full of thoughts about how to take revenge later!
Xia He smiled at him, and Zhao Meng was so angry that he almost fumed.
"This kid is so arrogant!"
"Oh."
Xia He turned his head without hesitation, looked sideways at Peng Xin beside him, pointed at a few very eye-catching figures not far away and asked curiously,
"Who are those people?"
Peng Xin followed his gaze, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his voice and explained:
"That man who is over two meters tall and as strong as an iron tower is called Tie Zhan, and he is the son of the Minister of War."
"I heard that he has been training in the Vajra Temple since he was a child. He was born with a Vajra body. At the age of eight, he could tear tigers and leopards apart with his bare hands. He has immense strength."
"Born with a diamond body?"
Xia He raised his eyebrows. How much effort did he put in to cultivate the 'Vajra Physique', and this guy had it in one move?
"What about the woman next to him?"
"That person is a ghostwriter from the capital, her name is Liu Rushuang. She has a dragon-shaped physique, and it is said that she can enter the Xuanxiang realm without any bottleneck."
"Little dragon-shaped physique?"
"Another alien."
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
Xia He was quite speechless. In terms of aptitude, he was far inferior to these people.
But thinking about it, I feel relieved. After all, the territory of Daqin is so vast. Is it difficult to find a few geniuses?
However, even the people from the noble families that the old emperor found, including Li Wu, seemed to be just side branches?
From this perspective, how strong are the talents of those geniuses from noble families who have never appeared in the world? I'm afraid it will make people feel inferior!
"There is only one position for the Chief True Disciple, and it is really not easy to get it."
About half an hour passed like this, and a middle-aged general in armor walked out from the high platform in the center of the parade ground and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
The parade ground suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the general.
"That middle-aged man is General Yunfeng Yun, the garrison commander of Yunzhou!"
"See? Those people behind him are the deputy commanders of the four major camps."
