Since then, every day my mother deliberately cooks some delicious meals to supplement Qin Fengming's physique. Qin Hong also often took him into the mountains to hunt and deliberately exercised his physical strength.

Four months passed in a flash. On this day, Qin Xiang returned home on time and informed that Commander Li had promised to give a place, and he would take his third brother back tomorrow to participate in the selection of Luoxia Valley.

Before leaving, the family repeatedly told Qin Fengming: Shijie is complicated outside, you should pay more attention to people, don't trust people easily, and be patient when you encounter problems. If you don't get it or can't endure the hardships, go home.

Qin Fengming sat in his eldest brother's arms, with tears in his eyes, waved his arms and said goodbye to his parents and relatives standing at the edge of the village. It wasn't until he turned around the mountain beam and couldn't see everyone that Qin Xiang urged his war horse and ran in the direction of Qijiacheng.

Qijia City, the entire city wall is made of huge mountain stones, the whole city is huge, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

There was a tall gate tower at the gate, and the weapons exposed above the gate tower shone brightly. There is a wide ditch outside the city, which stretches into the distance along with the city wall, and there is a rushing water inside, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance, and it seems very deep. There were more than a dozen soldiers at the city gate to maintain order.

Qin Xiang did not hesitate and urged the war horse to enter the city directly.

I saw people coming and going on the street, men, women and children in an endless stream, and everyone was wearing various costumes, which looked very bright. The shops on both sides of the street are one after another, and all kinds of goods are rare and strange. Qin Fengming was overwhelmed and looked a little stunned.

The two did not stop on the street, and went straight into a small courtyard.

"Third brother, you rest here, the eldest brother also got a report from the barracks, don't go out of this courtyard, so as not to get lost. Qin Xiang said after placing Qin Fengming.

"Well, although the eldest brother is busy, the younger brother knows. Qin Fengming replied obediently.

It was almost late in the evening, Qin Xiang turned around, took Qin Fengming to the street, and walked into a restaurant. As soon as I entered the building, I saw a young man coming over: "Master Qin, you are here, please go upstairs." ”

Qin Xiang walked straight upstairs and said to the guy: "It's still the same as before, add another salvia stewed chicken." The man agreed.

Qin Xiang took Qin Fengming to sit at a table near the window, and said to Qin Fengming: "After these few days of traveling, you must be very tired, you have to recuperate and prepare for the entrance test." ”

Qin Fengming obediently agreed. In this way, Qin Xiang went to the barracks every day, and came back at noon and evening to eat with Qin Fengming.

On the afternoon of the eighth day, Qin Xiang came back from outside, with a happy face: "Little brother, the people of Luoxia Valley have arrived today, and tomorrow ** will go to Luoxia Valley with other children." ”

When Qin Fengming heard his eldest brother say this, he was both happy and a little frightened, not knowing if he could be successfully selected.

On the second day, after breakfast, Qin Xiang handed over a bag full of dry food and a few changes of clothes to Qin Fengming, and advised: "If you can't eat enough on the road, eat dry food." In the future, everything depends on yourself, be cautious in everything, and think twice. ”

"Well, I will, big brother should also take care" Qin Fengming agreed gratefully.

Outside the north gate of Qijia City, it is very lively. The voices are full of voices, and there are voices of exhortation and encouragement everywhere.

Qin Xiang took Qin Fengming to a man wearing a cyan robe, with a majestic face and a long sword at his waist, and said respectfully: "Lord Commander, this is my third brother, third brother, come and see the commander." ”

Qin Fengming hurriedly bowed down and followed the example of his eldest brother: "I have seen the commander."

The commander was very happy to see Qin Fengming so well-behaved, and smiled: "Well, it's very good, your little brother will definitely be extraordinary in the future." ”

He pointed to the children next to him and said, "You will be together in the future, you must help each other on the way, and I hope you can all be selected into Luoxia Valley." ”

Qin Fengming looked at the children, there were seven of them, they should all be recommended by the commander, Qin Fengming nodded at the children, walked between them, and stood quietly aside.

Soon after, a man on horseback in a purple robe said: "Everyone is quiet, the children participating in the selection this time are all on the front car, and every eight people are on the car, and no noise is allowed." His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it very clearly.

The children stepped forward one after another, boarding the carriage separately, Qin Fengming and the other seven children got into a carriage, waved goodbye to the eldest brother, and then got into the tent.

Not long after, Qin Fengming felt that the vehicle began to move.

This time, Qi Jiacheng recommended a total of 47 candidates, divided into six carriages, accompanied by more than a dozen big men, riding horses to protect on both sides.

On the first day, the children who were in the same car with Qin Fengming did not speak, and they all sat in their positions with serious expressions and closed their lips. Each thinks about his own thoughts.

In the evening, the cart stopped in a mountain col, and the man on horseback took out dry food and water, distributed it to the children in the cart, and told them that they would spend the night here. Don't get out of the car except for convenience.

At dawn the next day, the cart set off again. After yesterday's day, the children in the car no longer felt strange and began to talk. After talking, Qin Fengming got to know seven other children.

One is the nephew of the deputy commander, named Duan Meng, and there are two sons of commanders, one is named Zhang Li and the other is Wei Boqiang. There is also a barracks owner's grandson named Zhang Changming, and the other two are the sons of centurions, one named Xu Liang and the other named Li Da. Duan Meng is the eldest of them, and he is twelve years old this year.

After more than a month of bumpy carriages, on this day, when they arrived at a large town store, the group came to a restaurant, and the man in purple instructed: "All the children get off the car, play here today, and enter Luoxia Valley early tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as the sky was bright, Qin Fengming was called, and after a hurried breakfast, the convoy headed southeast.

In the evening, the convoy entered a large mountain, only to see a gray giant peak protruding in the distance, and dozens of small stone peaks around it. The peaks are inky blue, and they are extraordinarily magnificent.

The crowd stopped in the square in front of a tall gatehouse, and the man on horseback asked the children to get out of the car. At this time, an old man wearing a yellow robe, a scarf on his head, and a feather fan walked out from behind the gatehouse.

The purple-clothed man hurriedly stepped forward with a respectful face: "See Elder Wang." ”

"Is this Qi Jiacheng's disciple to be selected, how many people are there?"

"Elder Hui Wang, there are forty-seven people in total. The leader replied.

"Well, very well, arrange them in Tingsong Courtyard, tell them not to move around, and wait for the conference to start in a few days before bringing them together for testing. ”

"Yes, Elder Wang. After the purple-clothed man finished speaking, he gave Elder Wang a salute, and then led all the children to a path next to him.
