Obviously, swimming out of the water is both troublesome and easy to make a disturbance, so that the people guarding the capital will find out.

And the largest gap in the stone wall is only half an inch wide, and a mouse can't get through, so how can you talk about people?

It was impossible to open the door on the stone wall, otherwise he would not have searched for a few days, and he still hadn't found the nest of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Pu Yang Xuan searched for about an hour, and some people in armor appeared, driving the people in the school field into the cave like cattle and sheep. , and then a new batch of people will be released.

It seems that the hierarchy here is really strict, like the people at the bottom really don't know anything.

Pu Yangxuan knew that his current appearance could not stay in the cave for a long time, so he quickly subdued a blacksmith who was in a hurry to urinate, changed his clothes and wiped mud on his face, hid the body in the pit behind the grain pile, carefully covered it with sand, and blended into the crowd.

People didn't seem to know each other well, just doing their jobs, not talking to each other, not even making eye contact.

Men in armor shuttled through the crowd to watch, and if someone was not serious about what they were doing, they would whip it down, and the beaten person did not even dare to cry out in pain, covering his mouth with one hand, and continuing to forge weapons with the other hand.

In this huge cave, except for the sound of forging, the silence is depressing.

Three hours later, the group was also driven into the cave, and the wooden door slammed shut mercilessly, blocking all view.

Cave. There was only a small lamp in it, and the faint light flickered, and it didn't shine much at all.

The people who were locked up with him found a random place to sit, but there was still no conversation between them, and they just sat in silence, standing half-bent over, for the height of the cave was at most four feet, and it was very cramped and inconvenient for adults.

Pu Yangxuan sat near the door, secretly looking out through the gap in the wooden door.

I could only see the sporadic fires and scurrying figures on the school grounds, everything was vague and not very real.

In the silence, the passage of time slowed down a lot, and Pu Yangxuan waited patiently.

He must find another exit as soon as possible.

There must also be an exit, so that the people and horses here will attack the capital like a broken bamboo, and this exit is also one of the keys for them to send troops and horses to exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty.

After some time, the wooden plank was opened again, a bag of cakes and a water bladder were thrown in at random, and the wooden door was slammed shut.

The people did not fight, but in silence one person took a loaf of bread and ate it.

Puyang Xuan took a bite, it was not the human broth in the ancient city of the West Night.

He looked at the people who were gobbling up the bread, maybe it was their only meal of the day, right?

They didn't complain at all.

Pu Yangxuan knew that it was useless to try to talk to them, and even to get herself in trouble.

After eating the cakes, people crowded together and fell asleep, Puyang Xuan was still guarding the wooden door, and the small gap was the only passage with the outside world.

It was a day and night of labor, and he didn't wait for a clue to another exit.

The second day, the cave. The people were still driven out in batches to practice and work, and iron striking and drill were all to be done, and everyone here would be trained to be a warrior against a hundred.

This was felt when Pu Yangxuan subdued the blacksmith.

The man's physique was stronger than that of an ordinary blacksmith, and the hardest punch was enough to kill a Great Zhou soldier.

Halfway through the drill, the largest door on the stone wall was suddenly opened, and then a group of people in armor walked out quickly, lined up on the left and right, the cave. The fire was so bright that it was a bit dazzling to look at.

In the midst of the heavy firelight, a figure appeared.

The posture is graceful, the gold jewelry on the bun reflects the luxurious brilliance in the firelight, and there is a natural elegance and luxury between the gestures, which makes people feel awe.

The people on the school ground knelt down and saluted, and Pu Yangxuan finally knew that they could talk.

"Meet Her Highness the Princess!"

Princess? Pu Yangxuan glanced at it quickly, standing in a tall place, the woman was about twenty years old, her face was beautiful, her smile was full of pride, and she was bright and noble in a bright yellow dress.

The former emperor was deposed and only one heir survived, it is said that he was a prince, how could he be a princess?

The daughter of the clan does not have enough prestige, how can she get the title of princess and lead these people?

Puyang Xuan frowned slightly, if this woman is really the daughter of the abolished emperor of the previous dynasty, then who is Shen Qingmo?

"Everyone, get up." The woman said with a smile.

Then the man got up.

"Her Royal Highness the princess wants to select a team of guards, you go forward to draw lots, those with the same number will compete, after five rounds of screening, the ten people with the strongest martial arts will become the princess's guards. This is the honor of yours, please be sure to show your real skills. ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Of course, those who are eliminated in the first round will go through two more rounds of competition, and the weakest will be killed on the spot!"

Everyone half-hung their heads, showing not the slightest panic or fear about this.

Now, the person standing here must have gone through the cruel test and duel, right?

Pu Yangxuan roughly estimated that after this test, I am afraid that forty or fifty people will die today.

"Everyone, fight for the future of the Yan Kingdom!" The princess stretched out her arms and shouted.

Suddenly, the murderous aura permeated the school field.

Those who practiced and toiled in silence seemed to suddenly become beasts of prey, and everyone around them became enemies to them, with a determination to win.

Pu Yangxuan silently followed the team and drew a bamboo stick.

"Two."

Soon, he found the person who also drew "two" in the crowd, a man who was a head taller than him, the body was two as big as him, and when he stepped out, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, and the crowd took a step back, more or less frightened, but also a little lucky.

"Come on!" The man grinned at him confidently, revealing a mouthful of sharp yellow teeth.

Pu Yang Xuan's face was expressionless, the boxing and knife techniques practiced here were all rough and violent, which were very different from what he had learned, if he used his martial arts, it was very likely that his identity would be exposed.

It is not a simple matter for him to use the martial arts here and break through five levels in a row to become the person next to the princess of the previous dynasty.

The first group of people was already standing in the center of the school field, and the two of them each held a nine-ring big knife in their hands, and the dignified sword light made people feel chills in the back of their necks.

"The sword has no eyes, and the point is there. If someone dies, it is also their own life, and others are not to blame. The people next to the princess said loudly: "Competition, begin!" ”
