Chapter 216 The Second Generation and the Phoenix Man
Chapter 216
After all, Li Waner underestimated Cheng Dalei. In just one day, information about Liu Qingming and Qu Jiujiang came to Cheng Dalei from various channels.
Liu Qingming, the son of the lord of Xinliang City in Jingzhou, was twenty-eight years old. He learned martial arts from famous masters when he was young. At the age of nineteen, he defeated a thousand thieves with three hundred slaves. Later he joined the capital guard army. In the military, he was known for his forthright temperament and his willingness to sacrifice wealth.
A proper second generation, and one of the elite among the second generation.
Qu Jiujiang was twenty-six years old. His family was poor when he was a child. He studied poetry and books hard. Later he became a disciple of Cui Yi, a great scholar in Jingzhou, and entered the Imperial College. He became the President of the "Student Union" of the Imperial College.
This is a Phoenix man, and he is not the kind who just studies. It is said that this man is knowledgeable, elegant, and has the title of gifted man. He is a frequent visitor to the brothel, and many top brass are proud to have one of his poems.
An elite second generation, a phoenix man who worked hard and was reborn from the ashes, these are all high-level monsters.
If it's just the second generation and the Phoenix Man, that's it. The key two people are military generals and representatives of civil servants respectively. Cui Yi is from the Cui family, and Liu Qingming's father was once Yuchili's subordinate.
Cheng Dalei now finally understood what task he was about to challenge.
These two comments about Princess Mingyu, "Deadhead" and "Sissy", are really, really...
It really makes me want to punch someone when I hear it.
But faced with such an arduous task, Cheng Dalei has no choice but to do it. That's not the case...
He sent people out that day and launched public opinion propaganda in Chang'an City. The words first came from the mouth of Zhi Zhitao: I heard that this time Wu Zhuangyuan has appointed Qu Jiujiang Qu Caizi...
In the teahouse, several candidates who had come to Beijing to take the exam were talking impassionedly about how they would be able to return home in glorious robes and honor their ancestors if they passed the exam. Suddenly someone came over and said, "Hey, you guys should go back quickly. The General's Office has decided that Liu Qing will be the number one scholar in martial arts." name.
…
It is said that rumors stop only among wise people, but there are no wise people in the world, not to mention that what Cheng Dalei spreads may not be rumors.
The people in Chang'an City were still very calm and said: Hasn't it always been like this? It has been decided internally a long time ago. You are all working in vain.
But why did we quit going to Beijing to take the exam? Why? We traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, and even risked being beheaded by bandits to come to the capital. If our real skills are not as good as others, it doesn't matter, but we can't even compare. You've made a default decision, and it's too bullying.
The three thousand six hundred and fifty-two candidates were all martial artists. Those who practiced martial arts had a hot temper. At that time, the gate of the Imperial College was blocked, and the court wanted to give them justice for those who served the country loyally.
And in front of Liu Qingming and Qu Jiujiang, people come to challenge them every day: Hey, didn't you say you want to be the number one scholar in martial arts? Let's see if you can beat me.
The most unlucky person was Qu Jiujiang. When he came back from visiting a brothel in the middle of the night, someone covered his head with a sack and beat him up. It must be said that Qu Jiujiang had some skills, but a good man couldn't stand up to black fists. It is said that his front teeth were knocked out. I haven't gone out for several days. Even if my favorite singer comes to invite me, she always stays behind closed doors.
I just said that martial arts is about to take place and I don’t want to waste my studies. In fact, I am just at home to relieve swelling.
In fact, the group of people who beat up Qu Jiujiang were sent by Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei was still very sorry that he did not show up in person and kicked him in the face.
This matter became more and more turbulent in Chang'an, and finally the court had to find a way to announce it. It said: We have checked what you said, and it is completely false. In this martial arts examination, we will uphold the principle of fairness, openness and fairness to select talents for the empire. And we will never tolerate those who spread rumors.
In this way, the storm gradually dissipated, but everyone knew that no matter who Wu Zhuangyuan was in the end, it could not be Qu Jiujiang and Liu Qingming, otherwise it would not prove that the rumors were correct.
As for how the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, I won't mention it. Anyway, Cheng Dalei was very happy at home. So what if the second generation and the Phoenix Man were together, or what if the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion were behind them. While talking and laughing, they were forced to
The enemy was wiped out.
Cheng Dalei was enjoying himself at home, when Baili Sheng came to the house where Cheng Dalei lived.
"Captain Niu, why are you so happy?"
"Ah... I first came to Chang'an and saw the prosperity of the empire and the majesty of the emperor. I couldn't help but laugh out loud." Cheng Dalei said, "Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Uh... happy, happy, I'm happy for you too." Baili Sheng didn't know whether Cheng Dalei was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Anyway, there is no shortage of foolish and loyal people in the empire. As for Baili Sheng, due to rumors in recent days,
Things really don't make me happy.
"You have nothing to do tonight, Lieutenant Niu? The eldest prince is hosting a banquet and inviting the examiners of this martial arts course and some candidates. The eldest prince also mentioned your name. You must go tonight."
"The eldest prince..."
The eldest prince, Li Letian, is most likely to be in charge of the future empire. This grand banquet was meant to win over Emperor Ming's people.
"Then don't let the imperial soldiers lose face." Bailisheng patted Niu Sanjin on the shoulder. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and added: "Just don't wear the armor you are wearing. I will wait for you."
I’ll give you a new official uniform.”
…
Northwest land, Bingzhou.
In the vast grassland, a shepherd came from the north. In such a hot weather, he was still wrapped in a sheepskin robe, but the original color was no longer visible. Now it is gray with black, and the black is shiny. His face is completely sunburned.
It was charcoal color, the skin was chapped, and the hair was messy and stuck together.
"The sky is bright and the earth is bright, God will give me a meal, roast goose, roast lamb, shark's fin, I am not picky about food."
He muttered, even though he hadn't eaten for an unknown number of days, he still maintained good energy.
Suddenly a snake appeared on the grass in front of him, as thick as an arm. The shepherd's eyes lit up, he grabbed a stone and rushed over.
In the other direction, a man also appeared, with disheveled hair and a thick layer of black mud on his face. If he was a human being, it would be better to say that he was a savage born and raised.
The two people discovered the grass snake and each other at the same time.
Then they faced each other, breathing in circles, holding a stone in each hand.
The snake in the middle was trembling. I knew I had listened to my mother and shouldn't have come out today.
The two of them rushed towards each other at the same time, like wild beasts, punching and kicking, and soon they were entangled in each other, fist against fist, teeth against teeth. Although there were no moves at all, this was a battle about survival.
,Significant.
"Okay, okay, I surrender." The shepherd waved his hand: "Don't you see that the snake has run away?"
The "Savage" then let go of the card owner's hand on the shepherd's neck, and the two of them lay on the ground, gasping and panting, both in the same miserable state.
"Are you... a Rong tribe?" Shepherd.
The savages stared at each other with vigilant eyes and did not let go of their defenses.
"You can hang out with me from now on. You can't get out of this world alone," the shepherd said.
The savage still said nothing.
"Let me meet you. My name is Li Xingzai. What's your name?" The shepherd stretched out his hand and looked at the other person with a smile.
The savage looked at the other person's outstretched hand and slowly uttered three words: "Fordler."
