I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 516
Song Mu casually killed a few monsters in the wild, and then brought their bodies directly to the pass.

When the figure landed on the battlements of the pass again, the soldiers on the pass saw that it was Song Mu at this moment, especially seeing that Song Mu was still carrying a few corpses of monsters in his hands, all of them were surprised.

"General Song is really powerful. After going out like this, he even hunted down a few monsters and came back."

"It seems that they are all demon generals, and the accumulative achievements of adults will add a lot."

Several soldiers came forward to talk, Song Mu immediately asked them to dispose of the corpses of these monsters, and found a place to sit down and drink water, but a small soldier hurried over, cupped his hands towards Song Mu, and said in a low voice Said.

"General Song, General Wang ordered you to meet him when you come back."

Hearing this, Song Mu nodded immediately, and at this moment also got up and walked towards the pass.

Arriving at a pavilion in this pass, Song Mu immediately opened the door to enter, and saw a burly figure sitting upright. This person is the general at this pass, Wang Lidong, who is also a Jinshi, and his cultivation level is comparable to that of Song Mu. Even stronger.

At this moment, the other party was holding a pen and writing. Seeing Song Mu coming here, he waved his hand to signal Song Mu to sit down, while he continued to write.

Song Mu waited here for a long time before he saw that General Wang finished what he was doing, and then General Wang raised his head, looked at Song Mu and said.

"General Song went out to hunt monsters again this time?"

Song Mu hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

"Forgiveness from a lowly position, I just strangled a few remaining monsters, which only added to the troubles of General Wang."

Hearing this, Wang Lidong let out a sigh with a smile, but now he looked at Song Mu with a bit of helplessness.

Wang Lidong also knew very little about General Song in front of him. It was just a piece of military order at the beginning, and it was convenient for him to come over to fill up the lack of a deputy general at the pass.

I only know that his name is Song Qing, so I don't know about the rest. Song Qing doesn't talk much in the pass on weekdays, which is even more difficult to know.

During this period, Wang Lidong also had his own guesses, but after a search, he found that there was no such a number one person among the Jinshi and the ranks of the dynasty. From this point of view, it may be that the son of the Shizong entered the world under a pseudonym.

But even so, the opponent used a variety of moves, which really made Wang Lidong a little confused.

However, after seeing the other party's performance of killing monsters a few times, Wang Lidong also praised him greatly, and even didn't bother about it at all.

After all, as long as this Jinshi can really bring a different situation to his pass, that is enough.

What's more, now I still have something to ask for.

At that moment Wang Lidong stood up and said to Song Mu.

"General Song, now there is a military order from above. After thinking about it, I think it's best for you to go."

Song Mu quickly cupped his hands and asked in a deep voice.

"Humble position and panic, but I don't know what it is?"

Wang Lidong immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"It's the hot season now, the monsters in the desert are exhausted, and the frontier wars are taking a break, so a contest is going to be held in the western frontier army. We are waiting for the army to select and transfer people. There is also a team of soldiers at our pass. Go compare."

Hearing this, Song Mu looked up at the other party, but frowned slightly at the moment, probably understanding what the other party meant, but he still asked.

"Then I don't know what to do in such a martial arts competition?"

"This martial arts competition is a little different. It doesn't matter about boxing and kicking. It's mostly about how to practice against the enemy. You can also see how we train our troops on weekdays."

"When the time comes, I will ask Junjun Gou to tell you, but I don't know if General Song is willing to take on this task?"

Song Mu bowed his hand again immediately, and was curious about the situation, but he still asked a question.

"My lord, I would like to ask one more question, when will this legion competition end?"

Wang Lidong was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile.

"It can start in early June, end in the middle of June, and return to the pass in the second half of June."

Song Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. In this way, he saved himself a lot of trouble, so he readily agreed at this moment.

Seeing that Song Mu readily agreed, Wang Lidong didn't have a smile on his face at the moment, but said calmly.

"General Song, this matter is not trivial. Today's martial arts competition is also related to the importance that Shangguan will attach to me in the future, but you have to pay more attention to it."

"Let's not talk about being indisputable. We Zhenxiguan have never lost in previous competitions. This year, we will naturally show our strength."

Hearing this, Song Mu nodded cautiously and bowed his hands. Song Mu also looked forward to this kind of competition.

After all, it was a competition among the armies of the Western Frontier Army, and I was sure to see many extraordinary talents. If there were really surprises, I might learn something from them.

At that moment, Song Mu began to talk about this matter, and a few days later, Song Mu and the Yishi scholar army officer selected by Zhenxiguan set off to Zhanyao Pass, which was more than a hundred miles away.

That is a major fortress in the western border, and the various teams of the western frontier army will also compete there.

On the way, Song Mu still took the book to read every day, but occasionally dismounted to hunt monsters.

This day, several people killed some unsightly monsters again, because Song Mu noticed in advance that only one person was slightly injured in the ambush, but the team still packed up and moved on.

When the team continued to move forward, the dog master suddenly appeared beside Song Mu, and said at this moment.

"General Song, what are your plans for the martial arts competition at that time?"

Song Mu raised his head and looked at the other party. Although Lord Dog is older, General Wang asked him to participate in this competition by name. The reason is that he has participated in it several times before and is very familiar with the situation.

This time Song Mu also smiled and cupped his hands.

"Song is not very clear about what's in it, and the old lieutenant should pay more attention to it."

Lord Dog waved his hand and said.

"Actually, there is nothing clear about it. During this period of time, we are mostly relying on the general's ability. This is also a kind of formation."

Song Mu was puzzled when he heard this, but the dog master had already said in a deep voice.

"Our legion's martial arts competition is, in the final analysis, a literati competition. It just uses the method of the army to inspire poetry to fight. Power, speed, and durability are all assessment elements."

"But the power of literati writing poetry, even if they are at the same level, there is still a gap. Although the soldiers at our pass have experienced many battles, in addition to the guard army we are here, there are also assault army, array army, etc. Wait, they are all legions that have fought many great battles with demons, if it is really compared, it is hard to say."

Song Mu was also surprised when he heard this, and asked now.

"So it looks like it's very difficult, so what are we going to do?"

But Lord Dog smiled, and continued in a deep voice.

"This matter is fairly simple, that is, the poems we practice must be different, at least, a little extraordinary."

"Extraordinary?"

"Well, I heard that in the past two years, many people in the army have been practicing the poems of the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty, such as "Expelling Demons", "Nanxiangzi", and "Recalling Xiang Yu", all of which are good poems. It works wonders.”

"Among them, there are still people who practice the "Song of Righteous Qi" by the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty, but very few of them have mastered it. The talented lieutenants in our team can only do it a hundred times by chance."

Song Mu was also taken aback when he heard this, but Lord Dog next to him said with a smile.

"However, my lord is a Jinshi after all, and I must understand these poems better than us, so I plan to do so, and ask my lord to teach us how to write these poems."

Many talented military lieutenants nearby also looked at them, and there was a bit of joy in their eyes. Song Mu bowed to them at the moment, and nodded silently at this moment.

Turning his head to look into the distance, Song Mu had some interest at the moment. This legion contest seems to be quite mysterious.
