Huang Shi only tidied up a little and changed his clothes before he brought Ma Yuan to Ping Xi Wang Mansion. He was now working for Du Qi and had already left his name in the mansion. So after he reported his name to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper did not stop him and let him in.
Huang Shi went straight to the backyard and came to the study room. Huang Shi entered alone and asked Ma Yuan to wait at the door for the time being. After all, Huang Shi had to introduce him to Du Qi. After Huang Shi saluted, he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Your Highness, this lowly one came here today to recommend a talent to you. Please test him."
Du Qi smiled and said, "Let's hear it."
Huang Shi said, "This person is called Ma Yuan. He's seventeen years old and is my brother-in-law."
Speaking up to here, Huang Shi put on a solemn look and quickly said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. Although Ma Yuan is this lowly one's brother-in-law, he definitely has the strength. If he doesn't have the strength, this lowly one will not recommend him. Please rest assured, Your Highness. "
Du Qi said, "This Prince believes you."
Huang Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Du Qi would think that he was abusing his power for personal gain. Huang Shi continued, "Your Highness, this boy Ma Yuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is also familiar with the art of war and is well-versed in both pen and sword. As for the specifics, Your Highness will have to test him before making a judgment. Now that Ma Yuan is at the door, I implore Your Highness to give him a chance. "
Du Qi said, "This Prince needs talents. If Ma Yuan has the talent, this Prince will not hesitate to promote him."
"Call him in."
Du Qi ordered.
"Yes!"
Huang Shi immediately complied.
He shouted and Ma Yuan pushed the door and entered.
The moment Ma Yuan entered the room, Du Qi had already sized him up. He was seventeen years old and his body had completely grown up. Ma Yuan had a square face and simple clothes. He was clean and tidy. At first glance, he had a good impression of him.
Although Ma Yuan's appearance was not particularly handsome, his angular face was very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Ma Yuan didn't have the recklessness of a martial artist. He looked confident, and after seeing Du Qi, he saluted in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Du Qi quite approved of this attitude of his.
Du Qi said in a heavy voice, "Huang Shi said that you are well-versed in both pen and sword. Since that's the case, let me test your martial arts first. How about it? "
Ma Yuan said, "I'll follow Your Highness' arrangement."
Du Qi said, "Liu Jian, tell someone to inform Xiao Yuan Qi and Xue Rengui to come here."
"Yes!"
Liu Jian received the order and immediately went to pass it down.
Du Qi didn't say anything at this time and just dealt with the government affairs in his hands. This was done on purpose. He wanted to give Ma Yuan the cold shoulder and see how Ma Yuan's attitude was.
During this time, Ma Yuan was calm and collected.
He looked calm.
Du Qi secretly nodded his head when he saw this. Although Huang Shi was an assassin, his brother-in-law's temperament was not bad.
He had found a treasure.
As for how good it was, it would be a while before he knew.
The location of the military camp was not far from the Ping Xi Wang Mansion. In less than a quarter of an hour, Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuan Qi had arrived. The two entered the study and saluted Du Qi with their fists folded.
Now Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuan Qi were wearing armor, and their killing intent was quite sharp.
Du Qi first introduced Ma Yuan, and then said, "I called you here because Ma Yuan has just arrived. Let's test his martial arts. Let's go to the Drill Ground. Xiao Yuan Qi will test him first. "
"Yes!"
Xiao Yuan Qi answered.
Instead, he smiled.
Previously, when Xue Rengui surrendered, Xiao Yuan Qi went to test Xue Rengui's strength. Now, Ma Yuan, a half-grown boy, was here. It was his turn to test him again. They went out of the study and soon came to the Drill Ground.
Xiao Yuan Qi picked up a saber.
It was a wooden saber.
He didn't use a real weapon.
Du Qi said, "Ma Yuan, you can choose any weapon on the weapon rack. Use all your strength. Don't worry about anything."
"Yes!"
Ma Yuan walked over and came to the place where the wooden hammers were. He picked up the wooden hammers and weighed them in his hands. With two wooden hammers in his hands, Ma Yuan stood in front of Xiao Yuan Qi and said, "General Xiao, please enlighten me."
Xiao Yuan Qi said, "Please!"
Ma Yuan didn't decline. He stepped forward and smashed down with the wooden hammers in his hands. The wooden hammers in his hands were not as powerful as iron hammers, but with them, Ma Yuan's aura was sharp and powerful.
The wooden hammers fell, one after another. Every time the hammer fell, the next hammer would immediately follow, without any gap in between.
Xiao Yuan Qi blocked with his saber and tried to fight back. But Ma Yuan's two wooden hammers were so fast that Xiao Yuan Qi could only block and couldn't fight back for the time being.
Du Qi saw this and his eyes lit up.
Ma Yuan was not simple!
Being able to suppress Xiao Yuan Qi already showed Ma Yuan's strength.
Xue Rengui stood beside Du Qi and said, "Your Highness, Ma Yuan's hammering technique is obviously well-practiced. It's not a casual hammering technique, but a martial art passed down from generation to generation. The most famous hammering technique I can think of is the Eastern Han General Ma Yuan's Drum Jar Hammer. It's very powerful. "
Du Qi said, "Ma Yuan and Ma Yuan are both surnamed Ma. I don't know if they are related. After the competition is over, we can ask him and we'll know. "
They talked for a while and then looked at the Drill Ground.
Huang Shi, on the other hand, had a proud expression on his face. Huang Shi's swordsmanship was very powerful. In terms of assassination, even ten Ma Yuans couldn't block Huang Shi's assassination. But if it was a head-on fight, Huang Shi wouldn't be Ma Yuan's opponent even if he didn't dodge. Ma Yuan's strength was not weak.
At the moment, the two people fighting in the Drill Ground were still fighting.
Ma Yuan's wooden hammer attack was getting stronger and stronger, like a big wave, one higher than the previous one, and the waves were getting fiercer and fiercer. Under the continuous attack, even Xiao Yuan Qi showed a dignified and even tired look.
He couldn't block it anymore.
"Crack crack!"
Suddenly, the wooden saber in Xiao Yuan Qi's hand broke. The wooden hammer kept falling, but it stopped three inches in front of Xiao Yuan Qi. Then Ma Yuan stepped back and saluted, "General Xiao, thank you for letting me win."
Xiao Yuan Qi sighed, "I lost."
He knew clearly that facing a strength-type warrior, especially Ma Yuan's hammering technique, was very methodical. One hammer strike after another, without any flaw. If he used a real hammer to attack, the attack would be more powerful, because the power gap between a hammer and a saber was bigger.
Ma Yuan held the wooden hammer and stood respectfully on the side. He didn't have any arrogant expression because Ma Yuan had been at the bottom all these years and was used to seeing too many people. He was quite cautious and could keep his composure.
Ma Yuan also knew that this was the opportunity his brother-in-law had fought for.
He had to seize it.
He couldn't miss this opportunity.
Once he missed the opportunity before him, it would be difficult to find another one.
