Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Undercurrent Tournament
Nangong Xuefengguan's holy decree was conveyed as scheduled, and she looked very happy when she received the holy decree, as if she had obtained some treasure. And her family got the news a little suddenly. For a while, I was a little confused and a little unbelievable, after all, it had never been so much in the past, but despite this, the holy decree would not be false. So the family "digested" this matter stubbornly.
While Nangong Xue was happy about the official position he had won, Chen Zhao was a little shocked, and he said indignantly: "It seems that the emperor is planning to break the jar and fall." I haven't made an exception for many years, and now I'm going to let it go. Hmph, no matter what, the overall situation has been decided, and I will wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman. After saying that, he laughed out loud.
In the days before the martial arts competition, Nangong Xue became busy again, she went to the school to study, and at the same time supervised all matters related to the participants in the conference in an orderly manner. Even if she is so busy, Nangong Xue still has a very happy face, which makes Ling Huyi feel a little uncomfortable, because Nangong Xue's various actions are different from ordinary people, speaking of Nangong Xue, whether it is her last life or this life, she always has a problem, that is, she can't be idle, if she is idle every day and has nothing to do, she will feel that life is boring, only when she is busy, no matter what she is busy doing, she feels that at least she is "alive". Maybe this is the root of the disease caused by her being an orphan for more than 20 years in her last life.
The days passed like this day by day, and the day of the official start of the martial arts competition was approaching day by day, the task of registration had ended, Nangong Xue was here and began to enter the grouping link, she looked at the list of people with various martial arts, and pondered how to reasonably distribute these people in order to truly maximize their ability. "It's really brain-burning. The competitions of the four academies are easy to understand, and it is not difficult to know oneself and the other, but now the martial arts competitions are from different countries, which is really not easy to understand in depth. It seems that this time I can only arrange according to the schedule of the event, and the competition process depends entirely on luck, and there is really no way to do it when my face is black. As she spoke, Nangong Xue shook the schedule in her hand slightly, and said to herself with a "tsk".
Ling Huyi, who was standing in the distance, quietly looked at Nangong Xue, who was at a loss at the moment, and couldn't help but say to himself with a little guilt in his heart+: "It's really difficult for you." Why? In fact, since the establishment of the Xuanwu Empire, plus the previous dynasty, it has hosted 99 sessions, of which the previous dynasty has hosted 50 sessions, and this dynasty has hosted 49 sessions, counting this year, this session is just 50 sessions. There are also many projects in this year's competition, and there are many participants, and the workload of the group alone is already very heavy, let alone others. On the other hand, maybe it was the unsatisfactory results of the previous sessions, and this haze has always shrouded the Xuanwu Empire, which has been the last place in the past nine consecutive sessions, I don't know if it is inferior to people in martial arts or inferior in physical fitness, and almost all of the past few sessions have been defeated. Even so, every year, the martial arts halls are still constantly cultivating, and then they all come to sign up for this martial arts competition one by one, which is quite gratifying in terms of this, so in Ling Huyi's opinion, no matter what the final result is, someone can participate in it, even if it is the greatest consolation, otherwise it will be really embarrassing. So Linghu Yi didn't tell Nangong Xue about these things, and Nangong Xue didn't know about it at all.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A few days later, the competition kicked off as scheduled. There are a total of eleven different empires in Xuanwu, and the participants of several empires entered the schedule of each group in turn according to the order of the previous competition. The fierce competition for the rankings has officially begun.
Because the tournament is a grand conference, the viewing platform is divided into three large platforms, the middle of the seat is the royal people, the emperor sits in the middle, the prince and the princes sit on both sides of him, on the left side of the platform where the emperor is located is the platform where the ministers of the court are located, Nangong Xue They also sit on this platform to watch the competition, and the platform on the right side of the emperor is the other senior officials and leaders of the empire who participated in the competition. The rest of the people stood on the perimeter not far from the tournament platform and watched.
The competition is different from the previous competition, the display of martial arts is more, each participant is in a different aspect of the show of their good martial arts skills, which makes Nangong Xue, who is sitting on the stage to watch the game, feast his eyes at once, within the scope of Nangong Xue's understanding, the competition is just a show of boxing and embroidered legs, but now I really watched the competition and found that the real competition was so serious, and that Cheng dΓΉ was almost like signing the book of life and death. The more Nangong Xue looked at it, the more she felt like a cat's claw scratching, which made her want to go up and have a trick, in fact, Nangong Xue was not loyal to martial arts in this life, and she was also extremely enthusiastic about martial arts in her last life, because of more than 20 years of orphan life, she had to learn some martial arts to defend herself, and it was really unsafe for a girl's family to be alone every day, so she also went to Shaolin Temple to study for a few years in the previous life. So after coming to this life, she is still full of infinite enthusiasm for martial arts. It just so happens that her family knows some martial arts, so since she was a child, she has pestered her family to teach him martial arts, after ten years of continuous learning, her martial arts have also improved by leaps and bounds, so that she is not afraid of the harassment of those ants when she goes out later, and every time she cleans up those people beautifully.
Looking at everyone on the three viewing tables, it seems that Nangong Xue is more focused on the competition, while the rest of the others are all in different ways. Especially Chen Zhao and those people from various empires, they all looked at it absent-mindedly. Nangong Feng happened to be sitting next to Chen Zhao, he was already ready for protection, while Wei Yongnian mixed in the crowd and paid attention to the people from the other empires on the table. In the event of any accident, he can disperse the crowd as soon as possible and be the first to go to the table to help control the situation. Of course, no one wants any accidents. After all, no one sitting in the spectator is a small person.
Nangong Feng looked at Chen Zhao with a smile, and said to Chen Zhao without words: "Lord Chen seems to be a little absent-minded, that?" How? Is there something going on? If it's convenient, can you talk to the lower officials? Maybe it can help you? β
After speaking, Chen Zhao turned his head and replied with a smile: "Lord Nangong is too careful, what can this official do?" It's just that it's just a little nervous because of the competition, and I hope that more people can play more games this year, and don't lose too much. Otherwise, the face of the empire will not be good-looking. β
ββ¦β¦γβ After listening to Chen Zhao's perfunctory words, Nangong Feng paused slightly, and continued, "Then if you say that, it is estimated that Lord Chen is a little more worried, I don't know if you have noticed that there are many more people participating in this year than before, and it seems that the martial arts have also been greatly improved compared to before." Therefore, this first round of qualifying competition should not be brushed down too much. ......, you see, this is a list of martial arts competitions taken by Xia Guan, with a detailed introduction to the opponents. So looking at the overall situation, it shouldn't be eliminated too much. Under the official construction yΓ¬ Chen lord to have faith in them. β
Chen Zhao glanced at the list disdainfully, and said contemptuously: "Then let's go and see." Then he said secretly in his heart: "Hmph, anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and all parties are ready, see how long you can jump?" The world will soon be our Chen dynasty again! Hahahaha......! β
Nangong Feng looked at Chen Zhao's expression and didn't say anything more, and continued to watch the martial arts on the martial arts platform, although this was the case, Nangong Feng's monitoring of Chen Zhao still did not relax, he stared at Chen Zhao's every move and even his expression tightly in his spare eyes. However, this Chen Zhao is really cunning and cunning, and he has the intention of rebellion in his heart, but he hides it very deeply on the surface. Resolutely will not leave anyone with any handles.
The martial arts competition is going on like this, the warehouse is also secretly seizing the time to transport the goods, and the people from all countries in the stands are also quietly waiting for Chen Zhao's signal, as long as Chen Zhao gives a signal to act, then the Xuanwu Empire will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes. But this qiΔ was also secretly guarded against by Nangong Feng, and because of this matter, even Nangong Xue's grandfather Xiao Long came back to assist Nangong Feng to guard against Chen Zhao. No matter what was being transported in the warehouse, this qiΔ was stared at by Xiao Long, since Nangong Feng said not to startle the snake, then Xiao Long would not act rashly, only quietly stared at the direction of the transportation of these goods, and what was being transported was closely watched by Xiao Long.
Each session of the martial arts conference from the beginning to the end of only 16 days, in these 16 days the rhythm of the competition can be described as extremely compact, the competition platform of the conference set up a total of ten tables, these tables will not always be set up like this, as the competition gradually enters the decisive victory and defeat of the table will be reduced. At present, it is also a preliminary round, so at present, the largest square in the capital is almost occupied.
Nangong Xue, as an official of the imperial court, also sat on the official stand to watch this martial arts competition, it can be said that she is the only woman in the stands of this conference, and women are generally not allowed to participate in the stands of the martial arts competition, of course, this provision is only limited to the Xuanwu Empire, and there is no restriction on other foreign empires. Seeing this not only made Chen Zhao feel a little choked, but even the people from other countries on the other side were very puzzled when they saw it. But although they were puzzled, they all remained silent, anyway, as long as it didn't affect their interests, they wouldn't care too much, but even so, there were still two people who had a little curiosity about Nangong Xue, these two people were princesses from two different empires, one was Princess Mo Yanyan from the Desert Empire, and the other was Yue Yingying, the holy daughter from the Western Regions Earth Temple. The eyes of both of them were looking at Nangong Xue in unison, wondering what she was about.
