At noon, Qin Yan took Qing Yao back to the county prince's mansion. The two people who had not seen each other for a month met again. Qing Yao immediately threw herself into Yun Yang's arms when she saw him.
He didn't even care about who was there, smelling the smell that he hadn't smelled in a long time.
"It's okay, it's okay. You have been suffering during this period."
Qingyao left Yun Yang's arms, smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, but you are going to be a father."
Yun Yang smiled happily, "Congratulations on becoming a mother."
Everyone looked at the two people who had not seen each other for a long time, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell.
Nowadays, discussions can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys of the Imperial City. The marshal selection competition will be held tomorrow.
Especially in every restaurant, the drinkers chatted together while drinking. Everyone knew the candidate for the marshal, but they didn't know why His Majesty wanted to make the selection, which made everyone completely confused.
"Everyone, do you know that this time the marshal selection competition is mainly divided into two parts: military combat and troop formation. Do you know the intention of the court?"
A young man from an official family stood up, took a sip of wine in his hand and said, "I know this..."
"Shut up!" Another young man next to the young man knocked him unconscious and laid him on the table. After paying the bill, he helped him out of the restaurant.
When the drinkers saw it, they started to speculate. It seemed that there were going to be changes in the selection of the marshal this time, and it would be difficult for General Nangong Qi to accept what everyone expected.
Suddenly, word spread throughout the imperial city that a genius general would appear tomorrow, and the position of marshal would be within reach.
Everyone is wondering who it is that makes the originally bustling imperial city even more noisy, but they can only pay attention to tomorrow's marshal selection competition.
The Imperial City is very lively at night, with lanterns hanging everywhere and various storytelling stalls packed with people.
Many people want to hear from the storyteller's mouth who the final winner of the marshal selection is, but the storyteller's stories are as diverse as flowers, and the names of the people are ever-changing and different.
Qingyao and Yun Yang walked on the street, listening to the jugglers and storytellers, as if he was described as a god descending to earth.
Raising his hand can turn the rivers and oceans over, and raising his hands can turn the clouds and rain, leaving Yun Yang without even knowing what to say.
Qingyao held his hand and smiled sweetly. Her brother Yun was famous now, but no one knew that he was right next to her.
"Brother Yun, you are famous now. Look at the girls listening to storytellers and juggling. That person has a smiling face and spends a lot of money!"
A young man walked past the two of them, with a lot of servants behind him. As soon as he heard Qingyao's words, he immediately stopped and said.
"Hey, little lady, it's him, and he is also the future invincible generalissimo. You don't want your lover to be famous, so you deliberately exalt his statement on the street. Let's see if I look more like him!"
A lot of people on the street gathered around and started to criticize and talk about Qingyao's delusional nobleman. There is everything these days.
Qingyao didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's gesticulations. She just snorted and said, "You guys will find out tomorrow."
The young man became even more interested, and laughed loudly: "Everyone, you will see what happens tomorrow. A person who is not even a general is really overestimating his abilities. I'm afraid I won't know where he will be hiding tomorrow." went."
This caused laughter from the people nearby. That girl was really good at looking for trouble, and she started to be criticized by everyone.
When things got to this point, Yun Yang had no choice but to say, "I'm really sorry, everyone. This is just a joke. Please forgive me."
Yun Yang had no choice but to turn around and run away with Qing Yao. Once there were more people, it would be unclear, and it would be even worse if there was a conflict.
The two of them ran hand in hand to a river, sat under a willow tree and watched the boats in the river, from which bursts of music came.
Qingyao turned to look at Yun Yang and said, "Brother Yun and those people are really ignorant, but your name has become inviolable."
Yun Yang stretched out his hand and took Qing Yao's hand and said: "Everything is just a false name. It's all passing by. Only the days when you are with the person you love are the real happy life."
Listening to Yun Yang's words, Qingyao rested her head on Yun Yang's shoulder and fell asleep without realizing it.
Looking at her sleeping look with a smile on her face, she gently smoothed the hair on her forehead, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, stood up and hugged Qingyao and disappeared into the light of the lake and the moonlight.
Qingyao found out that she had gone home the next morning, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Yun, I actually fell asleep. I have been finding myself a little lethargic recently."
Yun Yang touched her face and smiled: "Okay, my little lazy boy, we should go to the palace, but you don't have to worry about me holding you back."
"Um."
When Yun Yang and Qing Yao appeared at the entrance of the palace, they saw a large number of ministers and their families entering the palace, including many military generals.
Nangong Qi and others had already taken their wives with them, and waited until Yun Yang appeared before walking over. A group of women pulled Qing Yao away.
Qingyao looked back three times with one step, causing the women to start teasing her. They had been in love all night and still couldn't bear to take a step away from her.
In fact, how did they know that when Qingyao and the others went out to play together, she actually fell asleep until the next day.
"Good morning, Brother Yun! Look, we have been waiting for a long time. You are the last one to arrive, and even Sun Hai arrived early."
When Sun Hai was mentioned, he hurriedly walked over and said: "I'm not afraid of disturbing Brother Yun and his wife, but I'm just a soy sauce person and I don't have a general position at all. I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with you."
Yun Yang patted Sun Hai on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. This time we are recruiting talents from all over the world. As long as you have any ability, you are not afraid of being buried."
A group of people walked and chatted when they came to the palace martial arts arena. The arena was divided into nineteen battle stages in a circle. The center of the arena was the resting place for the contestants. The eight-story platforms on three sides were the audience seats. The nine-story and eight-story platforms on the east side were used for the rest. It is the minister's seat, and the ninth floor is the rostrum.
When the ten people arrived, the center of the battle stage was already filled with participating generals and young men. They had no choice but to find a place to stand and wait for the competition to begin.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Emperor Qin appeared in dragon robes with Queen Chen and glanced at the group of contestants in the center of the stage. Yun Yang had not broken his promise. Only after Yun Yang sat down did everyone dare to sit down.
After Emperor Qin spoke, Li Sicheng, the left prime minister who was presiding over the battle, stood up and said: "The prime minister would like to welcome the aspiring people from Qinglong Continent to participate in this marshal selection competition. A total of 380 people participated this time. Among you there are generals from the last battlefield, as well as talents who have just emerged, but the purpose of this competition is to dig out a marshal to command the entire army and prepare for the invasion of Xuanwu Continent."
These words made many contestants who had never been on the battlefield start to feel more dignified, and looked at the audience around them with pride.
After Li Sicheng took a look at all the contestants, he said again: "As a marshal, first of all, he must have a strong cultivation level and be able to cultivate a group of warriors who are good at fighting. Secondly, he must have the talent for strategic planning in order to make the soldiers more capable." Convinced. This selection is mainly divided into two competitions, martial arts battles and united army battles. Each person will face two battles in the first round. The competition officially begins now, and the first contestants will be invited to the stage to draw lots."
Facing the presence of the armored palace guards in the palace, all the contestants did not dare to be presumptuous. They all walked up to the stage in an orderly manner, pulled out a piece from the spiritual iron box, and half-revealed the unwritten number.
After signing out, they could see the size of the signature, which had the opponent's name written on it, showing who he wanted to fight and in what order.
Sun Hai asked nervously, "Brother Yun, who is your opponent?"
Yun Yang showed him He Zhen with the iron sign. To be honest, he really didn't know who the other party was, but he also didn't know who the next battle would be.
The drawing of lots for 380 people did not take long. It was not until all were drawn that the Minister of War, Zhang Songliang, stood up and said.
"Two losers on the battlefield will compete. One loser and one winner will be ranked among the centurions. The two winners will then compete in a group battle to determine the top three. Now, please hold numbers one to nineteen. Contestants who have signed, please go to the stage to show your lottery number, and invite those who have signed to come to the stage to challenge."
The fighting platform is two meters high and has no steps. The only way to get onto the fighting platform is to fly up. The battle to select a marshal will never allow anyone to cheat.
Nineteen people flew onto the battlefield together and began to show their lottery numbers, with the names of those who accepted the challenge written on them.
"How is my sister? Do you have confidence in your family?"
Nangong Qi's wife sat next to Qing Yao, watching nineteen people go up to the fighting stage, and nineteen more people flew up, and her man was not among them.
Qingyao glanced at Yunyang but didn't see him. She had no intention of watching anymore and said: "He, what can I say? He can be beaten and carried. It shouldn't be a big problem. Where is your family?"
Everyone sitting at the table on the same floor said: "Her family is not afraid of death!"
"The ones you cut are different. We are all weighing just one pound."
A group of women started chatting before the battle, which caused a lot of commotion among the young masters of the minister's family. Even if they were not in the mood to watch the battle, they all looked at them.
On the contrary, I felt that it was more beautiful in the audience than on the battlefield. Everyone was in a state of excitement. They just dared to look at them and didn't dare to talk to them. They were a group of countesses.
The nineteen battles ended not long after, and another group began to take the stage, among which Nangong Qi's brothers naturally appeared.
After taking the stage in the third game, Yun Yang also began to take the stage. He just showed off his cultivation level, and Tokishou flew off the stage without caring about the fight at all.
The contestant could only smile bitterly. The disparity in strength between them was too great, and he could only blame himself for being unlucky.
In the seventh game, Yun Yang came to the stage with the lottery number. As soon as his opponent flew onto the stage, he met him and flew straight off the stage.
Yun Yang was the first to get off the stage victoriously and sat next to Sun Hai. The two fist bumped and said, "Haizi, you should be in the eighth game too. As long as you win this game, it will be two consecutive victories." Achievements.”
The six women in the audience had a drink. Their men had already won two games in a row, leaving only the final group battle.
The remaining three women also know that no matter how they win or lose, their men will not be able to escape when they go to other continents. They only hope that their men will win beautifully.
Sun Hai finally successfully won two consecutive victories after a big battle, and he was very happy.
But some people are happy and some are worried. Many people have suffered two losses on the battlefield and cannot be ranked as generals in one battle.
Now among the eight Nangong Qi brothers, only Ximen Chu is left, and he is still short of winning two consecutive games in the last game. Then they can join the group battle together.
Yun Yang felt that this battle on the platform seemed to have been arranged in advance, making Yun Yang feel that there was no challenge at all. He was only looking forward to a real group battle now.
He began to say to Nangong Qi and others: "I hope you can use your strongest combat power in the group battle, but don't let me down."
Everyone was stunned, staring at Yun Yang and taking a breath of air and saying, "Brother Yun, do you want a group of people to fight against everyone?"
Yun Yang just nodded. He had nothing to hide. Strong men were not afraid of group battles, not to mention this was not a life and death battle.
