The situation that Zhao Shuao and Zheng Qiong were worried about was all too common in martial arts competitions.
In fact, Zheng Ji had anticipated it as early as when he announced the selection rules.
Fortunately, she had 4,000 Changding-led soldiers, as well as reliable and available people such as Li Xing'en, Zhang Jian, Shi Dingfang and Qin Zhou.
Before she entered Wuge, Zhang Jian began to investigate Mr. Ten of Wuge and the forces behind him.
Up to now, although I can't explain everything clearly, I have grasped most of the situation.
Zhang Jian and Li Xing'en can settle trivial matters such as Mr. Wuge's alliance with the forces behind them to create obstacles for Zheng Ji's team.
All she needs to do is follow Feng Ju's guidance and concentrate on improving her combat power.
With the arrival of Tao Jingyi, her team was finally assembled, and training finally officially began.
According to the rules set by Zhao Shuao, all the ten martial arts masters must participate in the selection of the martial arts field. What they need to do is to guide the teams participating in the selection.
That’s the best way to reflect the caliber of these gentlemen.
Du Fengju, who had just been promoted to one of the ten gentlemen of Wuge, wanted to do the same.
As everyone guessed, he chose Princess Changding's team and was the only one.
Among the Ten Masters of Wuge, in addition to those who were dissatisfied that Du Fengju could become the Tenth Master despite his low qualifications, there were also those who appreciated Du Fengju's ability.
Mr. Wen Guangpu, one of the Ten Gentlemen, is one of them.
When Zhao Shuao wanted to promote Du Fengju to the Jingzhao General Pavilion, he was the one who strongly supported it.
Knowing that Du Fengju only planned to guide His Highness Chang Ding's team, Wen Guangpu reminded him tactfully: "Mr. Du, you are only guiding His Highness's team. If there are any mistakes... I'm afraid it won't be good."
The ten gentlemen were divided into several factions, each with their own power behind them, and Wen Guangpu was no exception, but this did not prevent him from giving advice to Du Fengju.
In his opinion, His Royal Highness Changding's team has indeed attracted much attention, but it does not mean that this team is the best.
He has seen the training of His Highness Changding. His Highness is really capable. He is indeed better than many soldiers in the martial arts field, but he is not the most powerful.
More importantly, the five people in His Highness's team do not have much advantage.
An ordinary soldier in the army, a soldier who is good at making weapons, and an elderly jailer.
The others are two girls.
It goes without saying, Your Highness, that the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang is famous in the military, but the girls from the Tao family are unknown.
Such a team is still too weak compared to other martial arts teams.
This team may be able to pass the selection of the Gui field and even the next few martial arts fields, but it is almost impossible to reach the A field.
Her Royal Highness Chang Ding is the emperor's favorite princess. Even if her team fails to reach the battlefield, there will be no loss, but Mr. Du Duan is different.
As the gentleman who guides this team, whichever martial arts field this team can go to will represent the martial arts field of this gentleman's level.
Originally, Mr. Du Duan was promoted to Mr. Ten under special circumstances. If he ended up at this level for the first time, how could he convince the public?
Du Fengju was always very grateful for the kindness of others, and he handed over his hand and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for reminding me. I just have limited energy, so I think it would be better to concentrate on instructing His Highness's team."
He knew what Wen Guangpu was worried about, but he had enough confidence in His Highness's team.
Wen Guangpu smiled and said nothing more.
He still felt that it was too risky, but he didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with Du Fengju. Since the other party insisted, it was hard to say anything.
Because Tao Jingyi joined Zheng Ji's team, the connections between Concubine Tao Xian and Concubine Jiang inevitably increased.
Concubine Tao Xian had been worried that Emperor Yongning would be suspicious of the Tao family because of this incident, but after much deliberation, there was no good way to deal with it.
In the end, he simply gave up and cried half-truthfully in front of Emperor Yongning: "Your Majesty, I really have nothing to do with this niece. Not only has she refused to marry her many times,
, and even came to Jingzhao without telling everyone, and got mixed up with Jiang Zhao... Jiang Guifei's daughter. Your Majesty, what do you think my concubine should do? "
This was indeed her initial worry, and she cried truly and sincerely.
Emperor Yongning knew very well that Concubine Tao Xian was a strong-tempered person, but she was not very capable of eating sour food in her old age.
He was indeed unhappy about the connection between the Tao family and the Jiang family, but not to the point of being suspicious of his concubine.
"My beloved, don't worry too much. It's not a bad thing for a girl from the Tao family to join Changding's team. I also want to see if Changding can pass the selection." Emperor Yongning replied gently, without any dissatisfaction.
Concubine Tao Xian couldn't care less about the actual situation.
She sobbed and replied: "Your Majesty said this, and I feel relieved. I really wish that this selection would end early, and I would catch Jingyi and send her back to Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible!"
Jingyi has joined Jiang Zhao's daughter's team, and this cannot be changed. The only thing she can do is to support her as much as possible.
As a girl from the Tao family, as a child of the military, she has a competitive instinct in her bones, and of course she hopes Jingyi can win.
Well, that means Jiang Zhao’s daughter’s team must win!
For this reason, she tried her best to lower the emperor's wariness, and secretly found many weapons and military books, and took the opportunity of calling Tao Jingyi into the palace to send them out.
At the end, he warned earnestly: "Slow down, you must go all out! It is best to enter the first field! We, the daughter of the Tao family, cannot lose!"
Tao Jingyi obediently agreed and said with a sly smile: "Okay, aunt. Then do I still need to speak coldly and tit for tat to His Highness?"
This is what her aunt told her before, saying that even if she joins His Highness Changding's team, she cannot have friendly interactions with him.
"..." Concubine Tao Xian was speechless, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "No need for now! Let's talk about it after we win!"
At the same time, the Jiang family is also trying its best to clear possible obstacles for Zheng Ji.
"Cheng Yong has contacted two gentlemen. They will do something to Xiao Jiu during the competition in Guichang. As for how, we don't know yet." Jiang Shan reported to his father.
Ever since he learned about Zheng Ji's layout and plans in the Cheng family, he has been closely monitoring the Cheng family, trying to find out the hand that was secretly driving the Cheng family.
The people who were helping the Cheng family behind the scenes had no clues, but they discovered Cheng Yong's other plan.
It seems that Cheng Yong really hates Xiao Jiu and vows to fight against Xiao Jiu to the end.
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Baoshan twirled his beard and said, "Having someone like Cheng Yong jumping up and down can reduce the emperor's wariness."
The more a person jumps, the closer he is to being unable to move.
Moreover, he heard that Cheng Yong's grandson Cheng Keyi was about to return to Beijing, and Cheng Yong could not stand still for a few days.
Cheng Yong is confused, he will be rewarded for his own misfortune!
A few days later, when Zheng Ji returned to Princess Changding's Mansion from Wuge, Shi Dingfang quietly came to report: "Your Highness, there is something going on in the Cheng family!"
