Thirteen teams gathered on the teaching field.
The herald moved the wooden box containing the number plate to the front of the team, and then called out the instructions for the thirteen teams.
There are a total of thirteen number plates in the wooden box, including two numbers one to six, plus one number plate zero.
Teams that draw the same number cards will decide the winner, the winning team will be promoted, and the losing team will be eliminated.
The team that draws number zero will automatically advance to the next round.
The Hundred Battle Cavalry of Team No. 1 was the first to step forward to draw cards and got the number three card.
Next, every team was on tenterhooks, for fear of drawing another No. 3 card, because they all knew their own strength, and drawing the No. 3 card was equivalent to being eliminated.
However, until it was Zhang Xiaopou's turn to step forward to draw a card, the other No. 3 card was still lying in the wooden box and had not been taken out.
There were only two number plates left in the wooden box, number three and number zero.
When Zhang Xiaozu put his hand into the wooden box, everyone's eyes were focused on his hand and they couldn't help but feel nervous for him.
Two number plates, one in the sky and one on the ground.
It doesn't matter to Zhang Xiaozu and Su Zhengyi's eighteen people, because their goal is to be first, and they firmly believe that they can get first, just draw the Hundred Battle Cavalry and defeat them directly.
But for the last team to draw cards, everyone from the instructors to the players were staring at Zhang Xiaozu's hand slowly pulling out, and they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe, because the number card in Zhang Xiaozu's hand determined whether they could advance.
However, the most nervous person in the entire Imperial City is Di Xiayun, because the number plate in Zhang Xiaozu's hand determines the fate of her life.
"Since I was a child, my fortune has been told. Whether it is the eminent monks in the temple or the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, they all agree that I am born with wealth and wealth. This is destiny and cannot be violated. How can you go against the will of heaven with just a mere teacher? !”
She stared with a pair of bloodshot eyes, staring at Zhang Xiaozu's hand that was slowly withdrawing, and the expression on her face was twisted and ferocious.
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Xiaozu's lips, and his hand that was half withdrawn fell back. Listening to the sound coming from the wooden box, he must have changed his number plate.
Then he no longer hesitated and took his hand out of the wooden box neatly.
Wow!
The audience in the whole city burst into exclamations because Zhang Xiaozu was holding the number plate zero.
"Heaven deceives me!"
"My life...is ruined!"
Boom!
Di Xiayun roared with grief and anger, and soon his heart was filled with rage. His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground, fainting.
"Zhang Jiaoxi, you can't see it, can you?"
The instructor in line behind Zhang Xiaozu muttered depressedly, stepped forward with a wry smile, and took out the remaining number three from the wooden box.
Because if Zhang Xiaozu hadn't changed the number plate at the end, then the number plate No. 3 should be in Zhang Xiaozu's hand at this moment, so it felt like he could see the number plate.
However, the instructor just complained in frustration, and never thought that Zhang Xiaozu could see the number plate, because there were restrictions placed by the Imperial Master on the wooden box, so it was impossible to see the number plate.
How did he know that Zhang Xiaozu really saw the number plate and then changed it.
Just now, Zhang Xiaozu's subtle state of mind suddenly penetrated the isolation barrier on the wooden box and saw the number plate inside.
It can't be said that it was sudden, because whenever the wooden box appeared these days, he would use his subtle state of mind to try to penetrate the isolation restrictions on the wooden box. He just succeeded.
The subtle state of mind that had not broken through for a long time finally had some movement.
Zhang Xiaozu felt as if there was a crack in the wall that restricted the growth of Ruwei's state of mind. As long as he exerted a little more force and took a step forward, Ruwei's state of mind could break through the wall and fly to the nine heavens.
But when this last step can be taken, Zhang Xiaozu has no answer at all.
After seeing the number plate, Zhang Xiaopeng would not be stupid enough to say it.
The reason why he didn't want to meet the Baizhan Cavalry in advance was because he still remembered the bet between Su Zheng and Di Xiayun, so he secretly helped Su Zheng and ensured that Su Zheng would advance to the top eight without any loss. Let’s talk about the bet.
At the same time, it was also because he could rest during his free time, so he could learn Taoism from Taoist Qinglian with peace of mind.
In the past few days, his heart has been almost completely immersed in the mysterious and infinite Taoism. Taoist Qinglian really opened the door of the Taoism for him.
Just like when Taoist Tianwu taught Zhang Xiaozu how to draw talisman, Taoist Qinglian was also shocked, because with the help of the subtle state of mind, Zhang Xiaozu learned to draw talisman, draw spells, form formations, and ban spells so quickly. Basically, you can master it by listening to it, watching it, and practicing it again.
This made Taoist Qinglian, who had always thought that his qualifications and understanding were pretty good, suddenly felt that he was very average, and even had a sense of frustration that all these years of practice were wasted.
She was glad that she no longer needed to practice in the future, otherwise she would have been very frustrated and depressed when she practiced under Zhang Xiaozu's comparison.
On September 7th, the Hundred Battle Cavalry defeated their opponents with a crushing appearance to advance.
The seven teams that advanced were drawn on September 8, and this time it was their turn to draw from back to front.
Zhang Xiaozu was the first to appear. He once again moved away from the No. 0 plate because Taoist Qinglian's Taoist teachings were exciting and he was eager to learn.
Su Zhengyi's eighteen members once again had a bye to advance, and the audience couldn't help but sigh at their good luck.
Di Xiayun packed his bags, led his horse and left the house quietly through the back door.
She believes that her destiny is in her own hands, so she wants to leave the imperial capital, escape from Su Zheng's clutches, and control her own destiny.
drive!
She galloped on the streets of the imperial capital, listening to the sound of free wind in her ears, looking at the city gate getting closer and closer, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
She thought: maybe the fortune and destiny given to her by eminent monks and Taoist priests were not a lie to her, maybe her fortune and destiny were just outside the imperial capital.
As long as she breaks out of the prison of the imperial capital, her destiny will change drastically.
In the dark, there is God's will.
She is not running away, but following the guidance of fate to find her wealthy life.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
However, just as she was immersed in her beautiful fantasy, two cold-faced soldiers wearing the standard armor of the Imperial Palace suddenly caught up behind her.
The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, cut forward diagonally and forced themselves to pass, passing in front of Di Xiayun.
Call!
Di Xiayun was suddenly startled, hurriedly reined in his horse and slowed down, and asked displeasedly: "Why are the two military masters so domineering, and the road is so wide, yet they block the path of a weak woman?"
The two men reined in their horses and forced Di Xiayun to stop before responding: "His Royal Highness the Fifteenth Prince invites Miss Di into the small world to watch the cavalry competition. Please give her a favor."
Di Xiayun's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said in a panic: "I have urgent matters and I have to leave the city. After I have arranged my affairs, I will definitely go to the small world to see His Highness the Fifteenth Prince show off his power."
"His Royal Highness the Fifteenth Prince said no."
Di Xiayun's face turned pale for a moment, and he glared and shouted angrily: "You two are cowards. I am the granddaughter of General Di. How dare you block my way?!"
"His Royal Highness the Fifteenth Prince has a destiny. If he cannot take the girl to the small world, the two of us will go back to see him. Please don't make things difficult for me and the other two."
drive!
How could Di Xiayun be willing to submit obediently? He would rush forward when his horse was ready.
One of the forbidden soldiers seemed to have been prepared. He waved his riding whip and grabbed Di Xiayun and pulled her off the horse.
Di Xiayun still wanted to resist, but another forbidden soldier's knife was already on her neck.
"Does the girl want to be tied up and sent to the small world by the two of us, or does the girl want to cooperate and go in a decent manner?"
"I remember you two. I am the fiancée of His Highness the Fifteenth Prince and the princess in the near future. I will definitely not let you two have an easy time when the time comes." Di Xiayun warned with a cold face.
However, the two imperial guards were not intimidated by her at all. One of them took out a bundle of hemp rope and was about to untie it to tie up Di Xiayun.
The color on Di Xiayun's face was completely gone, but he still maintained his last stubbornness and shouted: "I have legs and can walk on my own."
"Girl please!"
"snort!"
Di Xiayun knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to get on his horse and head to the palace under the "exchange" of the two imperial guards.
She walked slowly all the way, but still arrived at the entrance of the small world half an hour later. Under the expressionless gazes of the two forbidden soldiers, who had no room for maneuver, she stepped into the door of space with her feet.
Her eyes flickered, and the next moment she appeared in the stands of the small world. At the same time, Su Zheng's smiling face broke into her sight.
"Ah——!" she suddenly exclaimed in fright.
In an instant, he attracted dozens of gazes from the stands.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Su Zheng said with a smile on his lips.
He had indeed stood here waiting for Di Xiayun for a long time.
Di Xiayun's eyes were full of panic and fear. She lost her confidence and pride for the first time in front of Su Zheng.
"Why did you come here? Did you run away in fear and then be caught by the two Forbidden Army brothers?" Su Zheng asked.
"That's... no, I... why should I run?!" Di Xiayun asked Su Zheng, holding his neck.
Su Zheng smiled and said without saying anything to Di Xiayun, "I'm glad you can come."
Di Xiayun couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
The warm smile on Su Zheng's face and the gentle voice made her unable to figure out what Su Zheng was thinking.
According to what she thought, Su Zheng would humiliate her mercilessly and trample on her dignity as soon as he saw her, in order to avenge her humiliation and torture over the years.
Finally, in front of everyone, he slammed her birthday sticker on her face, broke off the engagement with her, and asked her to fulfill the bet and become his slave.
But Su Zheng didn't mention a word and seemed to have forgotten about it. Moreover, he smiled warmly and spoke softly, as if he was really happy to see her coming.
"I hope you can be in the stands and witness me winning the first place in the Iron Cavalry Competition up close. I want to share my joy with you." Su Zheng said.
Di Xiayun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Su Zheng said nothing more and turned to leave.
Di Xiayun looked at Su Zheng's leaving figure, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay."
Su Zheng paused for a moment, turned around and gave Di Xiayun a happy smile.
Di Xiayun's heart suddenly trembled.
It was the first time she discovered that Su Zheng looked so good-looking when he smiled, the first time she discovered that Su Zheng's figure was so handsome and upright, the first time she discovered that Su Zheng's chest and back were so broad and thick, lying in his chest or If you hide behind him, you will definitely feel safe.
She suddenly couldn't control herself.
"He kept quiet about it, obviously not wanting to embarrass me.
He smiled so happily when he saw me coming and spoke so softly. It was obvious that he liked me very much.
He asked me to witness his victory. Did he want to tell me that Su Zheng is no longer the loser he used to be? He has become a strong man, worthy of me?
That's for sure!
In fact, I don't demand anything from him. As long as he has a little ability, I will be satisfied. It's not a bad idea to work with him for the rest of my life.
Hey, I can't escape this damn life after all! "
She moved to an empty seat and sat down, her mind wandering and she couldn't control her thoughts.
Suddenly her expression trembled, and she suddenly figured out something.
The eminent monks and Taoist priests criticized her for being born rich and noble, but it turned out that they were not wrong at all.
She and Su Zheng were married at the fingertips. When she married Su Zheng, she became a high-ranking princess. Wasn't she born with wealth?
I see!
She covered her cheeks with her hands, then buried her head between her knees, laughing wildly.
She thought: This is her Di Xiayun's fate!
