Emperor's Trophy

After confirming that the emperor will really come to Xishan Daying to watch this ten-day martial arts competition, You Daying really chose wrestling.

Wrestling is a thing that is highly confrontational, and its posture is not very good-looking.

If you lose, it's not like a dog gnaws shit, or if you lose your ass, you won't see much of it if you win.The meaning of the right battalion side is quite straightforward. After all, it is enough for the soldiers of the right battalion to see these arrogant aristocrats with their nostrils upturned and pretending to be fighting with the mud-legged guys. You grab my legs and I pull your pants. last year.

"Damn!" Han Jinzi scolded: "Sure enough! I know it's the emperor, on purpose! Three people in each battalion, two out of three rounds. It's not good for us to choose some servants to go up before the emperor. Are we really going to fight? Torn and rolled in mud puddles with these mud legs?"

He was furious, and threw the whip in his hand on the table viciously. He knew in his heart that if he really chose all the domestic slaves, even if he won, the face of Zuo Daying would be completely humiliated. The emperor and Jiumen Who is the admiral, including the accompanying military generals, who is like a mirror in his heart, the left and right camps compete with each other, and the left and right camps are all sent by domestic slaves, where can he put the face of the left camp general!

Gong Liangyue said: "Yudi is not afraid of losing face, but he is really not good at wrestling."

Han Jinzi said: "Nonsense! Which one of us was not raised with strict manners and behaviors since childhood, the one who really went to fight with others!" He glanced at Yunzhen, feeling a pang of regret in his heart: "It's a pity that Zhu Jiang is not here, he He is a good wrestler, he used to be good at Cuju wrestling and polo throwing, why is he so stupid that he ran to the Nine Sides, why don’t you honestly come to Xishan Daying with us?”

Yun Zhen smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, general. My younger brother has a brother who is good at wrestling since he was a child. He can go up. If you want to come, you can find another good player. I think Han Xiaochuan is good, and he is also very good at wrestling. field, let the little brother play."

Gong Liang became anxious when he heard this: "You? How can you do it? You can't win with your small body! The other party is full of muscles and muscles, and you can be crushed by light pressure."

Han Jinzi didn't object, but looked at him thoughtfully.

Yun Zhen laughed and said, "Does he really dare to crush me?"

Gong Liang was startled.

Yun Zhen said: "It's true that there is no dignity in the wrestling field. But in the face of the emperor, if you wound a marquis, there are probably such foolish people in the market, and a bloody fighter on the battlefield may dare, but in In the battle in the military camp, he may not dare to be unscrupulous and reckless about the consequences, so first of all, he is already a bit timid in terms of courage."

Gong Liang shook his head and said: "What do you know! Those on the opposite side are all reckless people, and they really fell into a temper, so don't care about your emperor! You fall like you are in a hurry! If your small arms and legs are broken, where are you going? I need another sharpshooter like this."

But Yun Zhen smiled and said: "I am young, the opponent is not sure about the strength for a while, and he must be hesitant in his heart. This shot is naturally short of breath. In the end, even if I lose, does the opponent win? Little brother, where can the glory go?"

Han Jinzi suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Very good! Today's emperor can be regarded as the emperor's uncle. No matter how ignorant they are, they have to know how to measure. No matter how they win, it's not easy to teach you to be too ugly and humiliating. Your majesty slapped me in the face? Very right, very right, your arrangement is excellent! It’s just that you are going to suffer and lose face, this really makes my brothers feel very sorry.”

Yun Zhen smiled: "How can I be ashamed? Brother Yu has his own way, even if he loses, he won't lose too much face. At the beginning, my younger brother and Zhu Jiang also learned a lot of skills. Besides, you also said that the above is my uncle, In front of my family, it's nothing to suffer a little bit, maybe I can get some benefits."

Han Jinzi clapped his palms and laughed: "That's right! At that time, the emperor will be so distressed that he might give more rewards in private. Brother, you just let go and fight, it doesn't matter if you win or lose!"

Yun Zhen smiled and thought to himself, how can I be sure that I will definitely lose?

You Daying learned that Marquis Zhaoxin was going to take part in the wrestling performance, and they were all taken aback. They looked at each other, and a general hesitated and said, "That is Marquis Zhaoxin, the son of Princess Dingxiang. If we hurt him, I'm afraid it won't be There are countless enemies in the army?"

Li Lei sneered: "Why, are you scared?"

Everyone was slightly short of breath, Li Lei said proudly: "Anyone who wants to be afraid, don't go!"

Someone whispered: "The main reason is that he is still young. Even if we win, we will use the big to bully the small, and the victory will be unwarranted."

"So what about the eldest princess? A dead eldest princess can also scare you, so what kind of soldier do you still want to be? Why don't you go back to breastfeed as soon as possible?" Li Lei said: "The Holy Majesty, each depends on his own ability. If he keeps his hand, he is the best." We fell into someone's trap, right in their arms! This is the way they have thought up to overcome us."

"Then Han Jinzi made the wrong idea, thinking that we would really be afraid? Who doesn't know that Marquis Zhaoxin was just used by the emperor to win over the army, and even the army division in Tsing Yi joined the military aircraft department. Now that the military system has been reformed, he So I can only come here to play around with meritorious deeds, so that I can live the life of his second generation ancestor."

After Li Lei finished speaking, the people in You Daying were slightly agitated: "Isn't this a rumor? I think Marquis Zhaoxin is very popular in Zuo Daying. Aren't those nobles well-informed? If the Emperor hates it, How could you worship him like this?"

Li Lei sneered: "My lord, how can I be so easy to guess? But I only know one thing, this emperor does not just blindly support the nobles of the family! Over the years, he deliberately promoted many white civilians! This time The military reform has affected the interests of many nobles. Look at how many people the emperor killed for this, but who did he sell? Those nobles are just resting on the merits of their ancestors. In my opinion, after the death of their ancestors, they How long can I keep such a waste? On this occasion of abandoning the old and ushering in the new, it is time for me to serve His Majesty!"

"If you want to be famous, this is the best opportunity, otherwise, the emperor knows who you are?"

A young man stood up with a slightly excited face: "I would like to fight!"

Li Lei sneered and said, "I was just about to see how that delicate little Yun Hou was beaten to the ground by us in front of the emperor, crying for his father and mother!"

===

On the day when the emperor arrived, the autumn was crisp and the sky was as blue as glass. The entire Xishan camp was swept clean, with clear water pouring dust, fine sand on the ground, and a thick red carpet from the Guanwutai all the way to the gate of the camp. All the soldiers calmed down. He stood there in awe, waiting for the emperor to come in person.

It's about time, and the royal driver arrives.

The salute sounded, and the commander of the nine admirals led the two battalions of soldiers to kneel down to greet the mountain and shouted long live, and then the emperor, who was wearing a crow-green uniform, dismounted and walked slowly, although tens of thousands of soldiers stood respectfully. The school grounds were extremely quiet, only the sound of the slight clash of swords and sabers as the emperor and his entourage of civil servants, generals, and guards walked slowly, and the screeching of boots on the red carpet.

After the emperor went up to the high platform and sat down on the main seat, and the admirals of the nine gates led all the soldiers to sing nine prostrations nine times, the ceremony was considered over.

Then the military drill began, and the second battalion took turns to perform the Western Army formation. Yun Zhen, as one of the small deputy generals, was only a small spot in the huge square that insisted on the banner order, but he still meticulously performed the entire army formation.

After the exercise is over, the admiral of Ninetowns will present the first three strategies of the ten-day examination, and the emperor will take out No.1.

Ji Bingyuan could see Yun Zhen's handwriting at a glance, and he made great progress after reading it carefully. He knew that he had really worked hard in the past few years. The other two examination papers were considered acceptable among generals, but compared to Yunzhen, who he had carefully taught, they were far from being able to match, so he took a vermilion pen and marked a red circle on his examination paper, which was the first place in the examination paper. The meaning of one, Zhongguan held it down and showed it to other adults.

After that, there will be a martial arts competition between the left and right battalions.

Ji Bingyuan asked the admiral of the Nine Gates: "What did you test in this ten-day exam?"

Admiral Jiumen said with a smile: "This time it's the topic chosen by You Daying, wrestling."

Ji Bingyuan knew that Yunzhen was in Zuo Daying, and Right Daying knew that Ji Xianger was good at shooting, so naturally he would not choose this one. Wrestling is mostly popular in the market, but the manners are not elegant, and Ji Xianger is still young, so he would not participate in it in the future. He also nodded: "Let's start."

The bugle sounded below, and the martial arts competition began.

In the first match, Li Lei, a member of the right battalion, went into battle in person. He also wanted to face Yunzhen directly, but when he saw Zhang Jiangning, a barbarian with curly hair and blue eyes, on the list, he knew that he had to fight in person. Faced with this one, Tian Ji raced horses, if he was anxious to hit the faces of Zuo Daying's people and face the weakest Zhao Xinhou, he would have fallen for the trick, he sneered in his heart and started the first game.

It was a barbarian slave raised by Marquis Zhaoxin's mansion. He only followed General Yun Shen in and out every day, rarely spoke, and was extremely skilled in riding.

This is a person who can fight to the death for his master, he must do it himself.

After some fighting, the two fought inseparably, back and forth, very exciting.

Ji Bingyuan also recognized from the top that this was a military slave raised by Ji Xianger's mansion, and he also knew that Hu'er had seen blood a long time ago, and came back after going out with Lan Yongxun and beheading a dozen bandits. ruthless role.

After a fight, Li Lei narrowly won, but although Zhang Jiangning lost, he was unscathed. He stood upright, and when he bowed to salute, his posture was natural, and he didn't show any loss or embarrassment when he lost. Although Li Lei won, he Also won embarrassed, panting heavily, when the two saluted together, it looked like Zhang Jiangning was the winner instead.

Ji Bingyuan stared at the two of them for a while, and the admiral of the Nine Gates smiled and said: "The one in red is Li Lei, a general from You Daying Camp. You have been the No. [-] martial artist in the past six years. He has always been good at martial arts."

Ji Bingyuan nodded, but she knew in her heart that this was clearly Ji Xianger's way of recommending her own child in front of her.

Being able to beat the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar like this is obviously because he has saved his strength. The reason for keeping his hands is very simple. Li Lei, the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar, is a general in the first battalion.

Ji Xianger's careful thinking is clear, but he smiles in his heart, thinking in his heart, this person has really improved a lot in terms of the world.

Speaking of which, after he arrived in Xishan Daying, he has been busy in the past few years. When Ji Xianger was taking a bath, he was busy with his own affairs, but he hadn't seen him seriously a few times.

Speaking of which, this month is Jixiang'er's birthday, so he took this opportunity, thinking of going to Xishan Daying to inspect it, and then staying in the Xishan Palace for a few nights to celebrate Jixiang'er's birthday.

In the second round, two more people came up. Although the wrestling skills of these two people were decent, they were much inferior compared to the first round.

Thinking about it later, Ji Bingyuan thought in his heart, but he had already thought about finishing the martial arts performance soon, what should he ask when he saw Ji Xianger at night, did Ding Dai have dinner ready, and the birthday gift, and he didn't know whether it was acceptable or not, so he simply Open the basement again and ask Ji Xianger to pick another one. Thinking back to when the phoenix bead burned and the child cried like that, let him pick one this time. He must think of the past and feel the same. Are you sorry?

The corners of Ji Bingyuan's mouth curled up slightly, watching the next performance, but this time Zuo Daying also won a game and tied.The admiral of the Nine Sects smiled softly and said: "The one who won is Ge Lian from Zuo Daying. His father is now Ge Qichang, a general of the Jingang Navy, so he can be regarded as the son of a general."

Ji Bingyuan turned his head and said: "Ge Qichang, I remember, was recruited by pirates. He also served in the Fujian and Hong Kong Navy for a while, and only arrived in Tianjin and Hong Kong last year. No wonder his son is brave, but his family tradition is like this. The Navy may not have seen him for a long time. I’m going, I’ll check it out sometime next time.”

Admiral Jiumen's face froze slightly, he really didn't know that Ge Qichang was recruited by pirates!What kind of son of a general, it turned out to be the father and son of a gangster... He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and quickly said: "The emperor is really perceptive, and knows how to use people well..."

While he was talking, suddenly the cheers erupted like thunder at the Martial Arts Stage below.

Ji Bingyuan turned his head and looked down, his expression suddenly changed.
