After a morning of selection and elimination, more than a thousand warriors walked away and were injured. In the end, there were exactly one hundred and twenty people left on the martial arts stage, plus the prince's team, the noble minister's team, and then a total of There are a total of 205 people left in the Zhongsai team.
to be honest! If this continues, there won’t be enough people in the competition to score points!
Outside the palace...
"Your Highness, there are countless people practicing martial arts in our country, and there are also a lot of people who are good at fists and kicks. But! What General Ling didn't expect is that the moisture content of this batch of warriors is really not in line with the national conditions of martial arts training in the country?" Yu Wenhu felt a little moody. He said lowly.
As a warrior, especially an iron-blooded warrior like Yu Wenhu, there is a warlike blood flowing in his bones. I was happy to watch the preliminary round, so that I could prepare for the mid-level match in the afternoon and have a hearty battle!
But the result is indeed extremely disappointing. The warriors who participated in the martial arts test were so watery! There are only a few people who are qualified to be called warriors.
"hehe!"
"General Yuwen! Actually! It's not that Dawu Kingdom's martial arts has declined, nor is it that Dawu Kingdom's warriors are scarce! It's just that the fundamental problems of the imperial court have not been substantively solved!" Liu Wenxin said with a smile.
"oh!"
"The question the princess mentioned refers to..." Yu Wenhu was confused, but accidentally, he missed the title.
The word "princess" is so sensitive! The latter's cheeks instantly turned red with embarrassment, and he did not forget to squint at Dongfang Yu with his peripheral vision. Seeing that Dongfang Yu did not object to this title, he seemed to have acquiesced to it! Then I couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief.
after all! The two are not married yet!
certainly! Dongfang Yu would naturally not object to this kind of man taking advantage!
Liu Wenxin continued: "We, Dawu, have always had no shortage of people with high martial arts skills! We also have no shortage of generals who can lead the army in battles! But most of these people are from poor families, you know! Whether the court is selecting talented people or selecting capable people, No warrior can break away from the shackles of a noble family."
"For example: in the past ten years, in the selection of talents through academic examinations, the treatment of children from poor families and the children of gentry are equal in meaning, but secretly they are completely different. The gentry are rich and can pay a large sum of money to bribe the examiners, while the children from poor families, mostly They are all from poor families, so naturally they cannot afford to bribe the examiners!"
"Even talented and capable people are turned away, so a large number of gentry children are appointed! This is the so-called fairness, resulting in brain drain! The same is true for the martial arts competition, so! Those who come to the martial arts competition are all Most of the economically powerful gentry children in various states and counties are pampered and indulgent people!"
"Those who are truly good at martial arts are those people who are willing to give something to the imperial court despite being tempted. Let me ask you! How many people who are good at martial arts will participate in martial arts competitions if they are treated like this!"
Holy shit!
This little girl is amazing!
As expected of the general's daughter, not only is she versatile, but she also has such a thorough understanding of the problems of the court system. Even Dongfang Yu listened with great interest. How could a woman have such an insight? It couldn't be described in two simple words.
Behind him was Xu Meng, his eyes lit up even more, and he was even more excited than Dongfang Yu. If the King of Qin could marry such a woman, what blessing would it be to the Qin Dynasty? With such a talented and strategic Ming Lord, coupled with a princess who is clear about her affairs, how could Great Qin not be powerful?
"The princess is worthy of being the daughter of a general. This insight alone is beyond the reach of ordinary women! I admire her!" Xu Meng said sincerely.
Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, turned green. Who is the head of the family? This princess has not yet married! Just turn your elbows outward and join forces?
"That's it! That's all! Everyone is so sweet-mouthed that I've got a rash on my ears."
"Let's go! I heard that there is a restaurant called Zuixianglou in the east of the city. The roast duck here is good! I'm hungry! Let's go to this restaurant for lunch at noon!" Dongfang Yu said, and then looked at Liu Wenxin , "Xin'er, let's go together!"
"Yeah!" Liu Wenxin nodded slightly.
Zuixianglou! It is also located in the most prosperous east area of the city in Luoqi. It is not far from Qinghua Garden. Unlike Qinghua Garden, Zuixiang Tower has been in Dawu for hundreds of years, but it is an old building with a lot of history.
so! The dishes here are all from time-honored brands.
"You two, stop, you stole my uncle's money and you want to get away with it."
"Master! This money is what I brought from home. Along the way, I only have two taels of silver left! Master is so rich, why do you make things difficult for me just for a mere two taels of silver!"
These two people were none other than the two people who were late in the morning and failed to report on the martial arts competition. Because I am very hungry, I want to eat something to fill my stomach, and then look for a way out! But don’t want to! Luo Qidao would have to eat up one-fifth of his money in any shop. Yunzhou is thousands of miles away from Nanzhou, and the two taels of travel are no longer enough to get back.
No! I accidentally entered Zuixiang Tower and was blackmailed not long after I stepped outside the door.
"snort!"
"With so many people watching, it's obvious that you stole my young master's money. There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, but you still want to deny it." This man bared his teeth and looked like he was in need of a beating. There were so many people around him. No one dared to come forward to testify.
It’s not that I don’t want to testify! But I dare not testify! The people living in the capital know who they can and cannot mess with. I think the man in front of me is the son of Gou Chong, the fifth-rank Huangmen servant, named Gou An.
This Gou Chong was a member of the prince's gang. With the support of his father, he often ran rampant in the capital with a few bad friends and did many evil things. no way! Relationships are hard goods. Even if the emperor has small feet, he can do whatever he wants.
The big guy at the back seemed simple-minded, but he still knew that the person in front of him was deliberately blackmailing people, and he immediately became furious: "Why are you like this! This money is the money that the folks at home have collected for us. It’s for the martial arts competition. But I didn’t want to! I missed the martial arts competition and met a rogue like you."
"If you dare to keep nagging and add charges, don't blame my fist, you're welcome!"
He is a big, half-middle-aged man, the son of a farming family. Although his family is poor, they are still from a martial arts family. I think a hundred years ago, my great-grandfather was also a third-rank general, and later! Leave behind a roomful of military documents. The big guy is named Li Xiaozhi. He is twenty years old and has great strength. He was ill because he was ill when he was a child and his brain was burned out. He suffered from sequelae. Since then, he has looked a bit stupid.
The middle-aged man is named Li Jing. He is twenty-five years old. He is a big brother. Unlike his younger brother Li Xiaozhi, Li Jing is extremely powerful but has earth-shattering hammering skills. He is familiar with the art of war and has read a lot of books. He also observes the great generals of ancient and modern times. He is a Confucian general who can both govern the country and lead troops to fight.
