Qin Hui used this time to raise food and labor for the army, hoping to cultivate his cronies and expand his power. His sinister intentions were discovered by Prime Minister Zhao Ding. Zhao Ding took advantage of the opportunity to recommend Fu Tianpeng to the court and forced Qin Hui into a corner, forcing him to personally propose a military performance in the school field to determine the candidates for the vanguard of the former army.
After receiving the golden words from Emperor Gaozong, Fu Tianpeng, Qin Xi, Wang Boxiu, and several flattering generals and lieutenants who followed Qin Hui stood in the martial arts arena at the same time. Although there seems to be a large number of people here, there are signs of fierce competition. In fact, only Fu Tianpeng, Qin Xi, and Wang Boxiang actually participated in the martial arts competition. The other generals were just pretending to be good, because they knew that they would not gain anything if they competed with Qin Xi.
This time, Emperor Gaozong personally served as the examiner, hoping to select leaders worthy of important posts from this martial arts performance. Although the governance strategy of the Song Dynasty was to emphasize culture and suppress military force, Emperor Taizu also won the world on horseback wearing a yellow robe. Now is a troubled time. If we do not step up military and horse training, once the Jin Kingdom fully moves south, then we will repeat the mistakes of the Jingkang Disaster.
Gaozong was very satisfied and wanted to recruit talents for the country. Little did he know that Qin Hui had already been operating behind the scenes, hoping that his son Qin Xi would come out on top. Qin Hui believed that even if Fu Tianpeng had some abilities, Qin Xi would have few opponents in the capital if he was quick to step down and strike with long fists and short strikes. The Imperial City of the Song Dynasty, at the feet of the Emperor, was a place where talents gathered and heroes emerged in large numbers. What could be a more powerful criterion than this?
Thinking of this, in order to give Zhao Ding "face", Qin Hui called Fu Tianpeng to appear in front of Gaozong and everyone present in a sinister tone. Then he told Emperor Gaozong that Qin Xi's martial arts and abilities were well-known in the capital, as both Mr. Wang and Mr. Yang could testify.
After Qin Hui finished speaking, he turned around and glared at Wang Cienweng and Yang Yuan. These two guys "heard the news" and immediately ran to Gaozong like dogs and praised Qin Xi as if he was the rebirth of Marquis Lu Wen and the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong.
Gaozong nodded. He believed that it was the survival of the fittest anyway, and the losers were eliminated, so it would be the same whoever played first. Thinking of this, Emperor Gaozong called Fu Tianpeng forward and told him that in the martial arts competition, he must hit the target and not hurt anyone. After Fu Tianpeng fully agreed, a sergeant brought the horses. Since he had no weapons for battle, Qin Hui sneered a few times and told Fu Tianpeng in a sarcastic tone that he could choose whatever weapons he wanted on the school field. Fu Tianpeng took a big spear, flew on his horse, and returned to the center of the martial arts field.
Fu Tianpeng reined in his horse and neighed several times, intending to charge forward. At this time, the gate on one side opened and a general rushed in. This man has broad arms and broad shoulders, a waist like a water vat, and a face as black as ink, covered with tangled beards. This warrior is wearing a bright fish armor and holding a five-foot-long pig iron stick with the mouth of a bowl in his hand. He kept yelling "wala wala" and stared at Fu Tianpeng fiercely with his big bull eyes.
Fu Tianpeng saluted the general and announced to his family. The general replied: "I am Qin Na, the captain of the imperial army."
The moment the general said his name, he spurred his horse, brandished his iron stick, and charged towards Fu Tianpeng like a mad bull. When Fu Tianpeng saw this, he immediately staggered his horse and avoided Qin Na's blow. Then, he turned around, with the big spear in his hand, and a long snake.
Fu Tianpeng and Qin exchanged sticks with each other, and they fought for less than three times. Fu Tianpeng slashed his head and blocked Qin Na's face. Qin Na dodged and swung his stick towards Fu Tianpeng's armpit.
Fu Tianpeng used this as a flaw to allow Qin Na to "sneak in". After the pig iron stick swept across, when Qin Na pulled back and struck back, Fu Tianpeng firmly grasped one end of the pig iron stick with one hand. The other hand grabbed Qin Na's belt. Fu Tianpeng shouted "Go", and Qin Na immediately fell to his feet.
Qin Na covered his waist, glanced at Qin Hui on the stage, then retreated in disgrace with a cast iron rod. Qin Hui's eyes turned strangely and he cursed in a low voice: "It's embarrassing."
Emperor Gaozong was immediately delighted after witnessing this wonderful contest. He repeatedly praised Fu Tianpeng for his superb martial arts and his excellent martial arts skills. Prime Minister Zhao Ding, who was sitting next to him, was also stroking his beard and beard, nodding and smiling. Qin Hui was so angry that his face was livid when he saw that both the emperor and the prime minister liked Fu Tianpeng very much. Qin Hui secretly screamed in his heart. If a commoner could win the general's seal so easily, it would definitely add a lot of resistance to his frontline labor force. With this thorn in his side, it is inevitable that his connection with the Kingdom of Jin will not be suspected by others.
Thinking of this, Qin Hui winked secretly and signaled Wang Ciweng to send more powerful generals into battle. In addition to winning the championship in one fell swoop, it would be best to defeat Fu Tianpeng by the way. When Wang Ciweng saw Qin Hui looking at him, he immediately understood. He summoned his powerful arm, Xiong Bao, nicknamed "Qianjun Pagoda". After the general went into battle, Fu Tianpeng took a closer look and felt that his hair stood on end and his spine felt chilly.
Bear Leopard is nine feet long, has shaggy hair, two pairs of big eyes like bullfights, a toad mouth, a pointed chin, and speaks like a giant bell. The bear leopard shouted at the green-maned horse, brandished its mace, and charged towards Fu Tianpeng with murderous intent.
Fu Tianpeng saw Xiong Bao urging his horse into battle, so he asked his name. Xiong Bao's eyes widened in anger and he shouted, "Hey! I am Xiong Bao, the pioneer of the Forbidden Army Camp. Don't show off, you kid."
Fu Tianpeng was polite, but Xiong Bao was rude. Therefore, Fu Tianpeng was also filled with righteous indignation. He said coldly to Xiong Bao: "Looking at you like this, either Yaksha is coming to the world or Rakshasa is coming. I want to see if you can win by scaring people with this ugly face." of military exploits."
When Xiong Bao saw Fu Tianpeng's sarcastic words, he couldn't help but became furious. He slapped his head with his mace,
Strong winds roared in Fu Tianpeng's ears from time to time. The opponent was a fierce general, so Fu Tianpeng decided to use "four or two to move a thousand pounds" and use softness to overcome strength to deal with Xiong Bao.
When the stick in the hands of the bear and leopard arrives, Fu Tianpeng either dodges backwards in the iron bridge pose, puts his hands on the ground to avoid it in the posture of a golden toad, or jumps up and down to pick fruits. Although Xiong Bao's mace is extremely powerful, it cannot touch Fu Tianpeng, so don't expect to hurt him.
As time passed, Xiong Bao's attack speed slowed down significantly. Fu Tianpeng saw that Xiong Bao was weak, so he immediately raised his spear to attack. Fu Tianpeng shook his spear, attacked up and down, and swept left and right. Stab, prick, poke, and pick, showing off your skills. I saw the branches flying and the poles dancing. The big branches sometimes formed a dense network in Fu Tianpeng's hands, and sometimes turned into a swimming dragon.
Xiong Bao only saw the colorful falling stars and thousands of stars in front of his eyes. He raised his hands high and held out his mace to block Fu Tianpeng's attack. Fu Tianpeng saw that Xiong Bao's middle door was wide open, and his hands immediately alternated between empty and solid. He pushed the pole forward and shouted: "Get off." Xiong Bao immediately rolled off his horse, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
When Qin Hui saw that Xiong Bao had also made a fool of himself in front of everyone, he turned around with gritted teeth and signaled Wang Ciweng to send more good generals. Emperor Gaozong's attention was completely focused on Fu Tianpeng, so much so that he completely ignored Qin Hui and Wang Cweng's private mischief.
How could the dirty actions of the two of them be hidden from the Prime Minister Zhao Ding, who was very aware of everything. When Zhao Ding saw Qin Hui sending generals one after another, he knew that he wanted to use a wheel battle to weaken Fu Tianpeng so that his henchmen could win.
When Zhao Ding thought of this, he immediately walked out of his seat and asked Emperor Gaozong for instructions to let Fu Tianpeng rest before practicing the martial arts competition. Emperor Gaozong nodded, but Qin Hui was confused and immediately thought of a reason to obstruct him.
He leaned forward and played to Emperor Gaozong. Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, this competition is to select good generals for the imperial court. Although it is a school exercise, I believe that this should be done with all your strength. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and it is impossible to rest and fight again. Therefore, the capable ones should be chosen. In short, if Fu Tianpeng feels that he can't fight anymore, then he might as well admit defeat."
After listening to Qin Hui's report, Emperor Gaozong nodded again and again. He said to Qin Hui: "What Qin Aiqing said is absolutely true. If you don't try your best in martial arts and test your skills through actual combat, it will be difficult to evaluate a general's true strength, and he is likely to suffer defeat in the face of battle."
Qin Hui's plan succeeded, and he flattered Gaozong by the way, praising "Long Live the Holy Ming" repeatedly. Zhao Ding saw Qin Hui looking like a villain, and his face turned red with anger. Qin Hui glanced at Zhao Ding, with a sneer on his lips. However, Qin Hui played the "fair card" again. He asked Zhao Ding to ask Fu Tianpeng's opinion if he could sustain it?
Of course Fu Tianpeng knew that this was the fault of the traitor Qin Hui, but at this time he had no choice. Because once he quits the war, Qin Hui will be completely in control of the frontline grain storage. This matter is related to the country, the country, and even Zhao Xiang's own expectations.
Fu Tianpeng recalled the old and adopted the new. After adjusting the breath of his Dantian, he felt that the tiredness he felt just now was greatly reduced. He stood up and replied to Gaozong in a firm tone, saying that he could still compete in the battle. Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed and praised Fu Tianpeng for being such a heroic boy.
Qin Hui was so angry that he spat when he saw Fu Tianpeng taking to the battlefield with vigor and vigor again. Then Wang Ciweng repeatedly arranged for his generals to challenge him, but they were all kicked off their horses by Fu Tianpeng like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
At this time, only Wang Boxiang and Qin Xi did not go into battle. Wang Ciweng knew that his son must be sent to the scene at this time. But since Wang Boxiang was taught a lesson by Fu Tianpeng at the city gate last time, he knew that there was a huge difference in strength between them, and showing up now would only continue to embarrass him.
In order to save face, Wang Boxiang suddenly frowned, clutched his stomach and shouted: "It hurts me so much, it must be a bad stomach. No, I have to pay tribute."
After Wang Boxiang finished speaking, he took some paper in his hand and ran away quickly. Qin Hui stared at his back and cursed secretly: "Things that can't be put on the table are just trash."
As a result, the only people left to compete in the ring and win the championship were Fu Tianpeng and Qin Xi. Qin Xi thought that Fu Tianpeng ran away last time because the other party was afraid of him. Therefore, in front of the martial arts arena, Qin Xi acted domineering, arrogant and rude.
Fu Tianpeng immediately held up his weapon and glanced coldly at the arrogant Qin Xi. He decided to kill Qin Hui's spirit in return for Prime Minister Zhao Ding's kindness.
