Seeing that the king of Yunwu County did not punish Zhang Ruochen, but instead punished Concubine Xiao, Concubine Lin breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen aside.

Concubine Lin still couldn't believe what had just happened, and said, "Chen'er, have you really become a real martial artist?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ruochen nodded, no longer hiding it.

"You have just become a martial artist, so you will go to the year-end assessment, what if you encounter danger?" Concubine Lin was a little worried.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Even if you don't do anything, won't you encounter danger?" Mother, you don't have to worry, I will do my best and do what I can." ”

Only young martial artists under the age of 20 can participate in the year-end assessment.

King Yunwu had a total of nine sons and thirteen daughters.

The fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince are all under the age of twenty, except for the seventh prince who is not in the royal city, the other four princes will all participate in the assessment.

In addition to the direct princes and county lords, the families of those princes and relatives will each select three of the best young warriors to participate in the year-end assessment. For example, the Lin family.

Those royal relatives have already rushed to gather on the periphery of the royal family's martial arts field, forming camps one after another.

In the royal city, some important big figures, such as the martial arts powerhouses of the Earth Extreme Realm, the sect masters of the sects, and the heads of large families, also received invitations and came to the royal martial arts field to watch the ceremony.

"Boss, in previous years, invitations from the royal family were also sent to Qingxuan Pavilion, but you have never been there. This year, why are you going to watch the ceremony?" Mo Hanlin followed behind Qin Ya and asked with some puzzlement.

Although it was a cold winter, Qin Ya was wearing a crimson long dress, revealing two snow-white jade arms and sexy/sexy collarbones, as if she couldn't feel the cold at all.

Qin Ya's eyes had a bit of a charming smile in her eyes, her lips were rosy and crystalline, and she said, "When I meet someone I am interested in, I naturally want to know more about him." ”

"The proprietress is talking about the Nine Princes?" Mo Hanlin said.

"Hehe, is there anyone else besides him?" Qin Ya said with a smile.

Two months ago, after Zhang Ruochen went to Qingxuan Pavilion, Qin Ya sent someone to check on him.

What surprised Qin Ya was that that determined young man had not opened the Divine Martial Mark in the previous sixteen years, and was just an ordinary person. Moreover, he is still frail and sickly, and he is bedridden all the year round.

Even, she also found out Zhang Ruochen's miserable situation in the palace, the grievances between Concubine Lin and the Lin family, and so on.

However, such a young man actually spent 100,000 silver coins to buy a large number of pills and two true martial arts treasures from Qingxuan Pavilion.

Where did he get the huge amount of silver?

What secrets are there about him?

In Qin Ya's opinion, the Ninth Prince, who was despised by everyone, was simply fascinated all over his body, which made her unable to figure it out.

Driven by curiosity, she planned to go to the year-end assessment in person, wanting to see how many secrets Zhang Ruochen still hid in his body?

"Boss, you actually came to the royal martial arts field? Lin Fengxian saw Qin Ya wearing a crimson dress from a distance, and took the initiative to greet the other party.

In Lin Fengxian's eyes, Qin Ya is also a very mysterious woman.

He had only seen Qin Ya once from afar, and he was not familiar with it. However, he knew that the other party had huge financial resources, which were enough to affect the economic operation of the entire royal city, and he was definitely not a fairly simple woman.

It is said that in Wu City, five out of ten shopkeepers are helping her with things.

It's just that the proprietress has always been a dragon without seeing the tail, and it is quite difficult for even the head of a big family to see her.

If you can make friends with her, for the Lin family, there will only be benefits, no harm.

Qin Ya glanced at Lin Fengxian, her eyes lifted slightly, and said, "Your Excellency?"

Mo Hanlin said in a low voice: "Boss lady, he is the head of the Lin family, Lin Fengxian. ”

"The Lin family, oh! it's kind of interesting!" Qin Ya's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed an elegant smile, and said, "It turned out to be the head of the Lin family, rude, rude!"

Lin Fengxian didn't expect Qin Ya to be such a talkative woman, and said with a smile: "Two years ago, when Lin went to Qingxuan Pavilion to buy a batch of pills, he begged to see the proprietress of the boss. It's a pity that the proprietress had something urgent to go out at that time, and Lin just glanced at the proprietress from afar. Two years have passed and the hostess has become more beautiful!"

"...... two years ago"

Qin Ya was not impressed at all, but she still had a smile on her face.

She looked at the martial artists of the Lin family behind Lin Fengxian, stared at Lin Lushan's body, and said, "This should be the second lady of the Lin family, right? ”

Lin Lushan stood behind Lin Fengxian, dressed in white clothes like snow, swaying green silk, soft figure, beautiful and delicate face, she was simply a standard little beauty.

But to say that the beauty of the proprietress is not as good as her, it is not necessarily.

It can only be said that each has its own temperament.

"Boss, do you know the little girl?" Lin Fengxian said with some surprise.

Qin Ya naturally didn't know Lin Lushan, but she had investigated Zhang Ruochen. Among them, one of the people who had the greatest influence on Zhang Ruochen was this Lin Da beauty.

So, she wrote down the name Lin Lushan by the way.

Qin Ya said with a smile: "One of the four beauties of Yunwu County, the slave family has naturally heard of it, and it is said that even His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, who has a distinguished status, has been pursuing Miss Lin. It's enviable!"

A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old young martial artist from the Lin family sneered, "The Ninth Prince is just being amorous, with his qualifications, even if he cultivates for a hundred years, he can't be worthy of Sister Shan'er." ”

Another young martial artist of the Lin family, who was slightly older, said with a smile: "After the year-end assessment, Sister Shan'er will be engaged to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." The Nine Princes are toads who want to eat swan meat, which is not only stupid, but also ridiculous. ”

These two young warriors of the Lin family are called Lin Chengwu and Lin Tianwu respectively.

Lin Lushan, Lin Chengwu, and Lin Tianwu are the three best young geniuses selected by the Lin family. On behalf of the Lin family, participate in the year-end assessment.

Qin Ya touched her snow-white chin, as if she had discovered some amazing secret, and said, "It's really a thing to congratulate Miss Lin on getting engaged to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." If the news spreads, I'm afraid that the women of the entire royal city will be envious and jealous because of this!"

Lin Xishan pursed her lips gently, and her eyes showed a little joy. After all, being able to marry the Seventh Prince is definitely the dream of countless women in Yunwu County.

She's so close to her dream now!

The year-end assessment is divided into literary examination and martial arts examination.

Literary examinations are not taken seriously.

Even if you get the first place in the literary exam, you will only be praised a few words at most. Only when performing well in the martial arts examination can you get rich rewards from the royal family.

The martial arts examination has begun!

The first round of the martial arts examination: test the strength.

In the martial arts field, there are black stone plates of different sizes, which are divided into ten heavyweights.

The smallest stone plate, only half a meter in diameter, weighs a hundred catties!

The largest stone plate, with a diameter of three meters, weighs a thousand catties!

In order of age, from small to large, test your strength in turn.

Xiaojun advocated that Yulin was the first to enter the martial arts field, this year, she was only six years old, one meter tall, beautiful, well-behaved and cute.

"Wow!"

The little county lord walked to the black stone plate with a diameter of only half a meter, stopped, and the true qi in his body worked in the meridians. Her hands clasped the edge of the stone plate, looking a little difficult, after all, she lifted the stone plate in a hundred catties.

"Bang!"

She struggled to throw the stone plate out, and it fell to the ground a meter away.

The little county lord looked a little disappointed, and his eyes were fixed on the second stone plate again.

The second stone plate weighed two hundred catties, and the little county lord couldn't lift the stone plate with all his strength, so he could only give up and retreat.

"Little County Lord, when he was four years old, he opened the Shenwu Seal, and now he can actually lift a stone plate in a hundred catties. It's really amazing, and she will definitely be an amazing woman in the future. ”

King Yunwu Jun, who was sitting above, also nodded lightly, and there was one more genius among his children, and his heart was naturally very happy.

Subsequently, the Ten County Lords and the Eleven County Lords also tested their strength, and their ages were fourteen and ten years old respectively.

The cultivation of the Ten County Lords reached the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and he lifted a stone plate weighing two hundred catties and hit it seven meters away. It's a pity that she couldn't lift the three-hundred-pound stone plate, and finally had to give up.

The Ten County Lords also reached the middle stage of the Yellow Pole Realm, and they also lifted the two-hundred-pound stone plate and hit it six meters away.

However, considering that the age of the eleventh county lord is four years younger than that of the ten county lords, the performance of the eleven county lords is even better when evaluated comprehensively.

The first three county lords were all under the age of fourteen, and they were all women, and they were weaker than men in terms of strength, so they could only lift a stone plate weighing two hundred catties at most.

Next, it's the battle between the real geniuses.

Lin Lushan, fifteen years old this year, is the youngest among the martial artists except for the three county lords. So, she became the next young genius to walk into the martial arts.

She skipped the nine stone plates in front of her and walked in front of the tenth stone plate.

The tenth stone plate, with a diameter of three meters, weighs a thousand catties.

"Up!"

Lin Lushan used the surging true qi in her body, and with only one hand, she clasped the stone plate that was larger than her body with one hand, and easily lifted the stone plate weighing thousands of catties above her head.

Ordinary people can't imagine that such a slender and delicate body can bear such a terrible weight.

She's only fifteen!

Lin Xishan's five fingers twisted, and the thousand-pound stone plate immediately flew out of his palm and fell to the ground fifteen meters away, smashing a huge pit on the ground.

"Oh my God! It's amazing! The Lin family has given birth to another great genius. ”

"It's just a woman, her physical body can't be compared with a man, but she can lift a thousand-pound stone plate with one hand, I don't know how powerful her cultivation has been?"

......

The King of Yunwu County, who was sitting above, also showed a look of amazement, and said, "Whose genius girl is this? Such a talent, even compared to the Nine County Lords, I'm afraid it's about the same!"

The queen was very satisfied with Lin Lushan's performance, and said with a smile: "King, she is the daughter of the head of the Lin family, named Lin Lushan. The concubine also thought she was very good, and deliberately wanted her to be engaged to the Seventh Prince and get married. ”

"It turned out to be that little girl, and the king had some impressions of her. With her talent and family background, she is still worthy of Qi'er. ”

King Yunwu frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Ruochen who was standing on the edge of the martial arts, and said: "However, this king remembers that she and Jiu'er were good playmates when she was a child, and they are cousins and sisters, so they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts." At the beginning, this king also discussed with the old man of the Lin family, and planned to order a doll for them. It's a pity that the incident happened three years ago, and the marriage matter is over. ”

The queen smiled and said, "The king is confused! With Lin Lushan's current talent, how can he look down on the Ninth Prince? The two of them are no longer from the same world, and the gap will only get bigger and bigger in the future." ”

"With her talent, even if she is a side concubine for the Seventh Prince, I believe she will be quite willing. The Lin family will definitely not let go of this opportunity to curry favor with the Seventh Prince. ”

King Yunwu also nodded lightly, and had to admit that the talent of the ninth prince was indeed far inferior to Lin Lushan. There's no way around it!

In the martial arts world, the combination of strong men and weak women is very common.

However, if the gap between a strong woman and a weak man is too big, it is never a good thing for either the man or the woman!
