Chapter 428: Chess Pieces
It is said that every time the Three Kingdoms Tournament is held, a red flag is planted in the most central and dangerous area of the area, which is known as the "Triangle of Death".
Only the team that gets the red flag and leaves the field safely is considered the winner.
At the beginning, one team finally got the red flag after a lot of hardship, but they didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch would be behind, and the other two teams would lie in ambush in the triangle of death, and wait until they came out to attack.
They have already lost a lot in order to get the red flag, where will they be the opponents of the other two teams.
After getting the red flag, your two teams kill each other and end up losing both.
The red flag still fell into the hands of the first team.
Later, the participating teams of the three countries learned that after starting the competition, the first thing to do was to clear the opponent, and then go to the red flag.
So the Three Kingdoms Tournament gradually turned into a three-team jungle chase.
Moreover, it is stipulated that people from the royal families of the Three Kingdoms cannot participate in the competition.
Everyone told Shen Lingyue what they knew.
Shen Lingyue remembered them one by one, although Dean Shicaipi told her about the Three Kingdoms Championship, but he didn't say it in detail.
Shen Lingyue suddenly thought of a question, she asked Chunmei Xia Lan and said, "You two have been living in the imperial capital, you must know what family the top ten first-year freshmen of Asahi Academy are, right?"
Chunmei thought for a while and said, "As far as the slaves and maids know, most of them are not children of big families, and even if they are, they are not descendants. So the slaves don't necessarily know. ”
Shen Lingyue said curiously: "Aren't the children of the big family going to Asahi Academy?"
Chunmei said: "All the children of the big families have a quota to directly enter the Asahi Academy for further study, and they will also put the children of the family in the academy for further study, but the main purpose is not to study, but to attract talents." ”
Shen Lingyue groaned, "Do you know Ouyang Dashao?"
Chunmei said: "Ouyang Dashao is a peerless genius on the same level as His Royal Highness King Xi, how could the slave not know?"
"Then did he study at Asahi Academy?" asked Shen Lingyue.
Chunmei said: "Naturally, I have studied it, and I am the second student who graduated in that class. ”
Shen Lingyue: "Who is the first place?"
Xia Lan said with a smile: "The first place is naturally His Royal Highness King Xi. ”
"Then has he participated in the Three Kingdoms Tournament?" This is the focus of Shen Lingyue's attention.
Xia Lan shook her head and said, "I haven't heard that Ouyang Da rarely participated in the Three Kingdoms Championship. ”
Chunmei said: "Actually, this is already a secret that is not open, although the children of the big family are strong, they will not participate in the Three Kingdoms Championship." ”
"The major families will grasp the time to participate, either suddenly fall ill, or go out of retreat, or be promoted to the second grade early, in short, the major families have a way to avoid the Three Kingdoms Tournament. ”
Xia Lan said: "They are afraid that their descendants or heirs will make mistakes, and since the royal family can not participate, then they are not much worse than the royal family in terms of strength, and the royal family is not in a hurry, so why should they let their children die?"
Shen Lingyue said suspiciously: "Will the royal family let them do this?"
Chunmei said: "The royal family is indeed the strongest force in the empire, but no matter how strong it is, it can't stand the combination of the major families! This is also the direct reason why our empire loses every time. ”
"In that case, in addition to the royal family, the descendants of the other two empires will participate, and they have not deliberately avoided anything!"
They believe that young people should participate in this kind of life and death experience, and only after experiencing life and death can they become truly strong. ”
"Although there are also those who have fallen in the Three Kingdoms Tournament, all those who survive have become iron-blooded powerhouses. ”
"This has directly led to the widening of the gap between the strength of our empire and the other two empires. ”
Xia Lan said: "Not only is the gap widening, if it weren't for the three-legged situation, I'm afraid that our country would have been annexed a long time ago." ”
After hearing this, Shen Lingyue fell into deep thought, according to what they said, the major families are clearly short-sighted, they only know the immediate interests, and they don't want to think about the truth that there are eggs under the nest.
Obviously, the students participating in the Three Kingdoms Tournament are just their pawns.
It seems that the current situation is very unfavorable to the Asahi Empire!
Maybe in the future, I don't know that day when the war will start.
It seems that it is necessary to prepare for war in advance.
Shen Lingyue doesn't care about the bad things between the three kingdoms, the only thing she cares about is the people around her.
As long as the people around her are not affected and hurt, it is none of her business for the Three Kingdoms to break their heads.
Next, Shen Lingyue asked some questions about the distribution of forces in the other two countries.
Chunmei and Xia Lan respectively told Shen Lingyue everything they knew.
After listening to this, Shen Lingyue also had a certain understanding of the situation in the Three Kingdoms.
At this time, it was getting late, and Shen Lingyue greeted everyone and started the celebration meal.
Chunmei Xialan was still a little restrained at the beginning, but Shen Lingyue told them that there was no such clear distinction between master and servant here, they all ate and drank together, and asked them not to be too restrained, just get used to it.
Chunmei Xia Lan slowly adapted to Shen Lingyue's way of getting along.
Gradually, I began to talk and laugh.
Here they feel the warmth of home, and no one treats them as subordinates.
He even handed them barbecue and other food.
This made them feel quite emotional.
After a good meal, everyone dispersed.
There was also an empty room next to Shen Lingyue's room, and Shen Lingyue settled Chunmei Xialan there.
Shen Lingyue said to them: "There are still many rooms here, but only this one is the closest to my room, if you like to live alone, then find another room." ”
Chunmei hurriedly said: "Master, it's no problem for the slaves and maids to live together, this place is close to the master, and the slaves and maids can wait for the master sooner or later." ”
Shen Lingyue sighed, "You see where I need someone to wait, I'm used to being alone, and suddenly there are two of you girls, it's really not very adaptable." ”
Chunmei said with a smile: "The master will get used to it, and I'm afraid that it will be inseparable from the slaves and maids when the time comes." ”
Shen Lingyue nodded and said, "Habit is also a terrible thing. ”
"By the way, I forgot to let you clean up when I came out of King Xi's Mansion, do you have a change of clothes or something like that?"
Xia Lan said: "The master doesn't have to pay attention to us, we will go back tomorrow to get it." ”
Shen Lingyue shook her head and said, "How can you wait for tomorrow?" I see that you are about the same size as me, so let's wear mine first!"
As he spoke, he took out a few sets of clothes and handed them to Chunmei and Xia Lan.
Then he took out two storage rings and handed them to Chunmei and Xia Lan respectively.
