Chapter 184: The Martial Arts Examination Begins
In this way, Chu Xiaoxiao's heart was half relieved, and she had no worries about the upcoming martial arts test.
Although since the example of Yao Ai, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who participate in martial arts, but anyone with outstanding ability and some fame will not participate in martial arts, starting from the bottom.
For her skills, Chu Xiaoxiao is still very confident. As long as she doesn't encounter a pervert like Mo Zixian in martial arts, she has a way to defeat the other party.
The time soon came on the day of the martial arts test, and Chu Xiaoxiao went out of the city early in the morning to the outside of the Shence camp on the outskirts of the capital.
The martial arts test of the martial arts was on the school ground of the Shence Battalion, and now the Shence Camp has been completely under martial law, and the appearance of the soldiers in the camp standing with guns made the eyes of the students who participated in the martial arts show envy in their eyes.
Chu Xiaoxiao was unmoved, in her previous life, she had seen military parades in various countries, and this kind of scene was really nothing.
Everyone was chattering, but only Chu Xiaoxiao, who had always been lively and flamboyant, stood there silently, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was mentally assessing the level of the people present.
It didn't take long for Chu Xiaoxiao to be a little disappointed, what she expected before was really good, among the students of this year, except for a few who can still see it, the vast majority of the others are mediocre people, if they really fight, I am afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao will not even be able to hold up three moves.
"...... of Prince Chu"
Just when Chu Xiaoxiao was thinking like this, Lei Lin suddenly came over and said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Young Master Chu, you left early on the day of the literary exam? ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Lei Lin, who seemed to be dark again.
This person looks like a reckless man, but in fact, he is quite coarse and fine, and most importantly, he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
Chu Xiaoxiao said casually: "Do you have something to do with me?"
"I can't look for you if it's okay. Lei Lin said with some dissatisfaction: "Look at your young age, your martial arts are strong, maybe this year's martial champion is yours." ”
"What do you mean by not being sure?" Chu Xiaoxiao squinted at him, then hooked the corners of her lips and said, "This son is here for Wu Zhuangyuan this time." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lei Lin was immediately stunned.
Ordinary people will be polite when they encounter this situation, and it is the first time he has seen someone like Chu Xiaoxiao who beats a snake and sticks.
However, thinking of Chu Xiaoxiao's terrifying skills, Lei Lin couldn't help but regretfully admit that the young man in front of him, who looked white and tender, definitely had the strength to be a martial champion.
Even so, Chu Xiaoxiao can be regarded as arrogant.
"Hey, do you know who the chief examiner is this time?" After a while, Lei Lin suddenly said to Chu Xiaoxiao mysteriously.
Chu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who?"
She didn't dare to be interested in the personnel in the capital, and she hadn't specifically learned about it since she crossed over. However, Chu Xiaoxiao still knows about the current form of Izumo Kingdom.
Since Feng Yao died in martyrdom, there are not many generals in Izumo Province who can take action, and even if there are, they are all guarding the border passes. Now the generals in the capital, except for those who can't be put on the table on paper, there are only those who are old and frail and can't go to the battlefield anymore.
Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's lack of interest, Lei Lin pursed his lips and said, "Let me tell you, this time we are considered to have hit a big luck, and the chief examiner of this martial arts is General Yao!"
"General Yao?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked back at Lei Lin in surprise.
Among the generals of Izumo Kingdom, the only general she knew surnamed Yao was Yao Ai.
But isn't Yao Ai guarding the northwest? How could he appear in the capital and be the chief examiner of martial arts?
Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao's surprised eyes, Lei Lin was satisfied, and only then did he speak: "You don't know this, a few days ago, General Yao went to Beijing to report on his work, and he took the position of the chief examiner of the martial arts examination in front of His Majesty. ”
Saying that, Lei Lin didn't know what he thought, his eyes became a little more cautious, and he said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "I've heard, this General Yao is the number of martial arts masters in our Izumo Kingdom, let alone a general, even if it is the Ouchi guards, there are few opponents of General Yao, we meet him this time, and I don't know if it's good or bad." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't have such worries as Lei Lin, but looked thoughtfully at the direction of Shen Ceying.
Although she has never seen Yao Ai's martial arts, Chu Xiaoxiao still knows that Yao Ai is a master. After all, if you are not a master, you can't be a killer, let alone change from a killer to a general with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in a few years.
But Chu Xiaoxiao was concerned about why Yao Ai suddenly entered Beijing, and took the initiative to take the position of the chief examiner of martial arts.
I already knew that these people who participated in the martial arts, if there was no accident, would stay in Beijing for a few years, and most of them served in the Gyeonggi garrison or the Shence Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion. And Yao Ai is the commander of the Northwest Army, so it stands to reason that this matter has little to do with him, so why should he get involved in this matter?
And Chu Xiaoxiao also has a feeling, that is, Yao Ai returned to Beijing this time for this year's martial arts.
Otherwise, Yao Ai would not return to Beijing sooner or later, but he would return to Beijing at this juncture, which is really incredible.
But what Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know was that Yao Ai himself also felt incredible.
He stayed well in the northwest, but he was called to the capital by a secret letter from His Royal Highness King Jing, in order to escort Chu Xiaoxiao, who participated in the martial arts, and this mood was not enough for outsiders.
After a while, the martial arts test had already begun, and many students present at this time decided by drawing lots to face off in pairs.
At this time, on the high platform of the Shence Camp school, Yao Ai, who was the chief examiner, sat in the main seat, and the old generals with gray beards sitting on both sides of him, Yao Ai looked very conspicuous among the crowd.
And today's Yao Ai is different from the last time he saw it in the northwest military camp, Yao Ai, like several examiners next to him, is wearing a general's armor.
However, to Chu Xiaoxiao's surprise, Yao Ai's scholar-like face did not look disobedient after putting on the armor, but had a sense of solemnity and sharpness that she didn't usually have.
When Chu Xiaoxiao was drawn in the first round, he was a strong man, and his figure was at least two heads taller than her.
And the other party was stunned when he saw Chu Xiaoxiao, as if he didn't expect that his opponent would be a "child" who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and be embarrassed.
"Which kid are you to come to the martial arts arena to make trouble?!"
Child......... Trouble?
Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneer, "Am I a child, we only know until we fight, why don't you dare?"
