Chapter 39: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
In the blink of an eye, summer has arrived.
The martial arts of the Jin Kingdom this year kicked off in full swing in this scorching summer.
At that time, Yun Tian had already made a bow to her, she pulled up her hair in a bun and sat beside Lan Jun, which was indeed a little more dignified than before.
With the thunderous roar of the drums, Yun tilted his eyes and looked, this martial arts campaign called choosing a son-in-law for her and actually selecting a military minister of the Great Jin Dynasty had finally officially begun.
Fifty men who were preparing for the competition stood in a neat queue beside the ring under the arrangement of the chamberlain, some of them were the servants of the princes and nobles, some were the guards of the imperial city, and some were ordinary people who voluntarily signed up, and after a ten-day preliminary examination by the examiners, they stood out from the many candidates and were called "warriors".
Suddenly, two warriors walked up to the ring covered with red carpets, the two stood looking at each other, and as the referee began to "compete", the two began to fight with their fists and feet.
In Yan Kingdom, Yun Tian has never seen such spectacular martial arts, and she can't help but see the gods, but she may not understand all the moves and styles of those warriors, but she also doesn't see fear, and after watching it for a long time, she actually has a little bit of learning.
Emperor Jin's dragon eyes swept over the clouds slightly, and there was appreciation in his eyes.
Yun Tian was attracted by the fight in the ring at the moment, and naturally had no intention of looking at Emperor Jin. If there was anything that really surprised Yun Tian, it was the warrior who walked on the stage in the middle of the game. The warrior was covered with meat, and he was extremely tall and burly, and he was shirtless, with a red belt around his waist, and a red thick hemp rope tied around his head, like a butcher selling pork, and like a butcher who was executed at noon, and it was strange and terrifying.
At this time, the warrior standing opposite the burly man looked a little "weak", perhaps frightened by the opponent's figure, his legs began to shake unnaturally slightly, and he still forced himself to calm down, let out a long shout, and ran towards the burly man.
However, the burly man glanced at him disdainfully, but with one move, he threw his opponent to the ground and could not get up again. Immediately the stands erupted in cheers: "Good-good-" They seemed to be very optimistic about the burly man.
Yun Tian secretly sneered: It's just taking advantage of his figure!
Who knows, the next few warriors who came to power all had the same fate, and they were thrown to the ground with just one move.
Yun Tilt was secretly surprised, and at the same time, the cheers in the stands gradually became low.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the stands, not blinking.
At this time, after the burly man knocked down the eight warriors one after another, the warriors under the stands were obviously not confident, and even many people began to retreat.
After a few moments, another warrior finally came to the stands, wearing a simple blue shirt and standing confidently opposite the burly man.
The burly man still glanced at him disdainfully, and without waiting for him to make a move, he rushed directly at him, obviously, this time the burly man still didn't take the person in front of him in his eyes, and just wanted to knock him down with one move. Who knew that the blue-clothed warrior was like a sharp swallow, and he avoided the burly man's onslaught very lightly, and stood behind the burly man intact.
The burly man was already a little annoyed when he saw that the blow was missed, and then he turned around and attacked again, and so on, he made several moves in a row, and the blue-clothed warriors dodged easily.
Yun tilted and looked at the blue-clothed warrior who stood tall, and secretly praised in his heart: Finally, there is a little brain! This burly man is just a brute force, and he doesn't necessarily have any tricks to do, so he can only outwit him.
The burly man couldn't help but be furious when he saw that he had repeatedly missed, and used more and more brute force to catch the blue-clothed warrior, and finally let him grab the blue-clothed warrior's trouser leg in the middle of the move, so he grabbed the blue-clothed warrior, lifted it high, and smashed it in the ring.
The blue-clothed warrior was instantly smashed and splattered with blood.
Everyone in the stands gasped when they saw this, on the other hand, the burly man, he stood in the ring with a shy stomach and gasped for breath, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his broad forehead in turn, and a pair of eyes were as big as Tongling, and he glanced down at everyone contemptuously, shaking his body like drunk.
Yun Tian was really frightened this time, she looked at the blue-clothed warrior who fell in the ring and kept twitching, and couldn't help but be secretly worried, as the blue-clothed warrior's convulsions gradually decreased, until she finally passed out, Yun Tian couldn't help frowning, and her face was sad: How can such a person who only knows how to use brute force enter the court as an official?
Thinking of "being an official", Yun poured his mind and immediately became vigilant: if he used someone to deceive him, use this burly man to eliminate dissidents, and open the way for his own henchmen, then ......
Just when Yun Tian thought that no one would compete in the ring again, two warriors walked quickly towards the ring, and one of the warriors in a black robe walked slightly faster and took the lead in the ring.
Yun tilted his eyes and looked at it, isn't this person Beichenyuan! Since she begged Bei Chenyuan to go to Prince Gong's Mansion to steal the white pigeon, she hadn't seen Bei Chenyuan for a long time.
Yun Tian turned his head to look at Lan Jun beside him, but saw that Lan Jun's expression was not shocked at this moment, obviously he had great confidence in Bei Chenyuan, so Yun Tian also relaxed a little.
With an order, the competition began again.
The burly man had just killed a difficult guy, and he thought that no one would come to meet him, but he didn't expect that there would be people who were not afraid of death, he snorted coldly, wiped the sweat on his forehead slightly, hooked his eyes, and made a move.
Bei Chenyuan was not in a hurry, calmly accepted the move, first dodged the onslaught of the burly man, and then overcame the rigidity with softness, defused his tricks, and finally subdued the burly man with his strength.
Everyone looked at the burly man who was thrown to the ground, and they were in an uproar.
However, this uproar soon turned into an exclamation.
Yun Qian looked from afar, only to see that the burly man who was just knocked down and did not hurt the vital point was convulsed all over, and he died foaming at the mouth.
There are clear regulations in the martial arts of the Jin Kingdom, and the contestants can only point to the end, and must not harm the lives of others.
Now that there is a death in the ring, the martial arts have been forced to stop.
Emperor Jin walked down the stands with an angry face, and everyone followed, all wanting to find out.
Bei Chenyuan knelt straight in front of Emperor Jin, and the six gods looked at the ground without a master, sweating coldly.
Seeing this, Yun Tian couldn't help but worry, after all, it was someone who had helped her, how could she sit idly by? However, she was about to speak, but was stopped by Lan Jun.
Yun tilted his head to look at Lan Jun, but saw that Lan Jun was still calm and calm at this moment, and it seemed that he had already had a way to deal with it.
At this moment, the majestic voice of Emperor Jin came from Yun Lean's side: "Who are you?" Can you be on duty in the palace or in the court? Now that you have participated in martial arts, do you know the rules of the competition? How can you carelessly despise human life?! ”
Emperor Jin asked several questions, urging every sentence, obviously angry, Bei Chenyuan calmed down, hugged his fists and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the name of the slave is called: Bei Chenyuan." Now he is a guard at the city gate in the palace. In this competition, the minions obey the holy will and dare not be sloppy! The emperor knows that the minions have never hurt others, but they just stop at the point! As for why this burly man died suddenly, forgive the slave for being ignorant, the slave really doesn't know! ”
"The emperor is angry!" Lan Jun spoke out at the right time, "Whether this person was killed or something else, the imperial doctor can see at a glance, let's wait first, don't rush to this conclusion!" ”
When Yun Tian heard this, he secretly praised Lan Jun for being thoughtful, and seeing that Emperor Jin's face was a little gloomy, he nodded at Lan Jun, and then put his mind at ease.
Soon, the imperial doctor came to report: "The emperor, the queen's mother, and the ministers have tested that the warrior has no life-threatening injuries, but he has taken drugs that cause excitement, so he has shown lasting divine power in the ring, and now his body is overdrawn, so he will suddenly die!" ”
The words of the imperial doctor finally confirmed Yun Qian's guess, and sure enough, someone secretly used the burly man to squeeze the opponent in order to open the way for his own henchmen, but he didn't expect that this martial arts move, which was originally for the Great Jin Dynasty, eventually became a battlefield for power competition!
The horror of the human heart can be seen.
And Bei Chenyuan's appearance was like Chen Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, destroying that person's plan.
Just as Yun Tianwu was analyzing the current situation, Emperor Jin's irrepressible anger accompanied by sonorous words came from his side: "Check! Be sure to check it carefully! Someone dares to cheat under my nose, this matter must be investigated to the end, and must not be indulged! He paused, turned around and called Sixi to him, and instructed, "Sixi, you immediately pass on my will, and put the chief examiner, deputy examiner and other officials involved in the presiding over this martial arts examination into custody and prison, and review it in Dali Temple, and immediately execute it, there must be no mistakes!" ”
The official in charge of this martial act immediately knelt on the ground and shouted injustice, and Emperor Jin waved his hand impatiently, and some guards dragged them all down.
It wasn't until their voices of injustice completely disappeared in their ears that Emperor Jin found that Bei Chenyuan was still kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. He personally helped Bei Chenyuan up and comforted: "I blamed the warriors, please don't blame the warriors!" I will definitely find out about this matter and give you justice! ”
When Bei Chenyuan heard this, he suddenly felt flattered, and he was about to kneel again, but Emperor Jin hurriedly supported him, and said with a smile: "Warriors don't have to be so outside!" In my view, warriors are rare martial arts talents in my dynasty, and the position of a city gate guard is really wronged by you! When I go back and think about it, I will reward you with a suitable official position! ”
Bei Chenyuan was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Emperor Xie Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”
On the other side, Lan Jun gave the icing on the cake at the right time: "That burly man takes medicine, no one can control it, but he doesn't want the northern guards to be brave and strategic, so he takes the lead, and the concubines congratulate the emperor on having a good minister!" ”
Emperor Jin listened to these words very usefully, and couldn't help but look at Bei Chenyuan a few more times.
Lan Jun continued beside him: "According to the concubines, the northern guards are not only excellent in martial arts, but also have a dignified appearance, which is really talented and beautiful!" ”
Being woken up by Lan Jun like this, Emperor Jin couldn't help but shine in his eyes, nodded and said, "What the queen said is very true!" Very much! ”
However, in the eyes of Yun Qing, it was like lightning and thunder.
She did not forget that in addition to selecting courtiers, she also had a purpose in choosing a son-in-law for her. It's just that she couldn't have imagined that Bei Chenyuan was actually the husband that Lan Jun had chosen for herself in advance!
