Chapter Forty-Six: The Martial Arts Training Ground

The circular martial arts training ground is located in the northeast of the palace, on the site with a diameter of 1,000 meters, surrounded by a large cypress forest, and the elegant red myrtle flowers are planted nearby, which are as bright as a red glow, gorgeous and colorful, attracting flocks of bees and butterflies, and the cypress trees are inhabited by birds and birds that feed on myrtle berries.

The ground is paved with delicate yellow sand, all kinds of bronze weapons are placed on the training ground, there are also a small number of iron spears, and there are four two-wheeled chariots parked on the east side, each with three war horses in front of the chariots, the war horses are covered with metal scale armor, and there is a soldier driving on the carriage.

Fei'er, Ling'er is waiting for Jiu'er in the rest area of the venue, Fei'er is holding a golden combat armor in her hand, no need to ask, this is for Mo Jiu, today's training project is chariot archery, the two girls put on a linen cloak embedded with metal sheets for Mo Jiu, purple leather boots, wearing a metal helmet, carrying an arrow at her waist, and holding a longbow, "Fei'er, don't I look like a female general?" Jiu'er looked at Fei'er proudly, and her phoenix eyes bent into a good-looking arc.

Without waiting for Fei'er to speak, Ling'er grabbed the question and replied, "Like! Look closely at the young lady like Athena, the goddess of war! ”

"You'll please Miss," Phil pouted, "but Miss, under the tutelage of General Seleucus these days, you've become more and more fit, and look at this glowing dark skin, the more I look at Miss, the more beautiful Miss becomes!" "Fei'er, this can be regarded as a compliment, it seems that Jiu'er has finally tanned.

The two girls helped Mo Jiu into the chariot, and the soldier driving told General Jiu Ersai to let Mo Jiu practice with him first, and the general had something to do, so he would come back later.

Macedonia's two-wheeled chariot is really material-saving, this chariot has nothing except the handle placed horizontally in front of the car, Jiu'er staggered on the chariot, like a driving school student who has just learned to drive, his hands and feet are extremely uncoordinated, the war horse is moving at the slowest speed, Jiu'er is too fast, holding the handle with both hands and shaking, not to mention freeing his hands to pull the bow and shoot arrows.

Jiu'er couldn't help but complain in her heart about Seleucus, what kind of chariot archery does a female soothsayer learn, she can't use it.

The soldier driving lightly drank the war horse and sped up, and a stumbling almost threw Jiu'er out of the car, "Boy, be careful, I'm the pre-imperial maid, you can't afford any mistakes I have." Mo Jiu said indignantly to the driving soldier, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old young soldier secretly smiled, the kid was quite good-looking.

"Lord Nuri, it's not that I want to be fast, it's the Seleucid general who told me that you have unimaginable potential, although you are bold enough to train you."

Hearing this, Jiu'er pursed her lips and scolded: Nasty guy, this is a grudge against me Mo Jiu.

The carriage ran faster and faster, from the training ground in the sand along the sea of myrtles to the mountain path in the cypress forest, Jiu'er clutched the handle tightly, and his hand couldn't free up the air to draw the bow and shoot arrows, but fortunately he stood quite steady, "Little brother, did we run off, how did we run out of the training ground, is this a real combat exercise?" Jiu'er innocently looked at the young man driving and smirked, It's better to run away, leave the palace and wander elsewhere for a few days, lest Seleucus take him to practice this and that every day.

The speed of the chariot is getting faster and faster, and there is a rustling sound from the woods on both sides, since the eye of heaven has opened Jiu'er's ears are also very smart, not good, there is an ambush, and at the moment when Jiu'er noticed it, the trees on both sides shot dozens of arrows at Jiu'er.

Jiu'er chattered in her heart: This is too ruthless, I'm a novice in the chariot, and I can't stand steadily, so I will be trained in actual combat?

Don't have time to think about it, whether you want to or not, hurry up and take it.

As Seleucus wished, Jiu'er was really a player with great potential, so he didn't have to hold the handle for a while, he already stood firm, picked up the shield to block the bows and arrows on both sides, Mo Jiu also shot a few bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows on both sides shot more and more, so angry that Jiu'er shouted loudly to the woods, "You guys are really playing with me, aren't you?" I shot all the arrows at the tree, and you can shoot them at me, if it weren't for Miss Ben's martial arts, I would have been injured by this time. Did General Sai let you train me like this? ”

When Jiu'er was forced to cooperate with the actual combat training, there was the sound of two galloping horses' hooves behind him, Jiu'er looked back, it was Seleucus, and followed by the old and young Philotas, Seleucus shouted to Mo Jiu from behind, "Mo Erjiu, quickly jump out of the car!" ”

"What? If you want me to jump out of the car, I can't do it, it's too fast! General Sai, that's pretty much it...... I've just learned how to ride a chariot...... Just train me with real combat exercises...... You're too ruthless! Hurry up and stop the archers! ”

"Fool, it's not a real combat exercise, it's an ambush, beware of the soldiers who drive!"

Caught in an ambush? Jiu'er's big and small heads suddenly buzzed, what can I do, the bows and arrows on both sides shot at Jiu'er like rain, Mo Jiu couldn't parry anymore, the speed of the horseman driving was terrible, Mo Jiu really wanted to kick him out of the carriage, and if he continued like this, he had to be pierced by ten thousand arrows!

At this moment, the white Thracian war horse of Philotas approached Mo Jiu's two-wheeled chariot, only to see his toes tap the stirrups, leap up from the horse's back, and turn around in the air and stab the little soldier driving with a spear, firmly fixing it on the wooden frame on the edge of the carriage, worthy of being the commander of the royal guard, the martial arts are not ordinarily strong, and the moment he landed, he did not forget to smile playfully at Jiu'er.

Philotas took control of the carriage, but one of the three horses was hit by an arrow and galloped forward like mad.

In a moment, dozens of war horses rushed out of the woods on both sides, and the enemy in the shadows finally appeared, Seleucus did not have any weapons on his body, at this time he was using a helmet as a shield, Mo Jiuyan watched a bow and arrow pass through the edge of Seleucus's helmet and insert it into his right shoulder, "General Philotas, Seleucus has been hit by an arrow, he has no weapon on him, you save him!" Jiu'er asked for help from Philotas.

Philotas didn't look at Mo Jiu, but focused on dealing with the sharp arrows that came one after another, and whispered in his mouth: "I want to save him, but now it may be me who is going to die!" The Nine Daughters of Melbour, you must remember that I died to save you. Haha......" He was still laughing at this time.

Another sharp arrow was shot at Seleucus' left shoulder, and if there was no one to help, Seleucus would surely be shot into a sieve.

Jiu'er silently recited several spells in her heart, but none of the spells were conjured, and the deadly mana came and went, and when she needed it, she didn't know where it had subsided, Jiu'er said indignantly in her heart.

Got out, at this time, there was only the horse kung fu taught to Mo Jiu by the third prince, I don't know how much success Jiu'er had left in the horse kung fu at this time, Mo Jiu closed his eyes, was angry to the dantian, and put his hands together.

Pregnant! A powerful force from the dantian to the feet, Jiu'er took advantage of the situation with both feet on the chariot a little, jumped into the air, stepped on the horse's back and crossed over to Seleucus's horse, hugging Seleucus's body that was about to fall off the horse's back, at this time Philotas had controlled the chariot speed, and when Seleucus's war horse was about to touch the chariot, Jiu'er held his body and jumped on the chariot.

"There's a lot of potential! Our female worshippers have impressed me, those tricks just now, the skills are not under my Philotas, who are you? This time, Philotas did not have a yin and yang weirdness, but asked Jiu'er in an extremely serious tone.

"It doesn't matter who I am, just know that I am a comrade-in-arms in the trenches with you." Philotas glanced at Mo Jiu and closed his mouth as if he didn't understand.

An arrow shot through his roll and shot at the nearby cypress.

"Watch your head, hurry up and shield cover, I'll take care of the archery." Jiu'er reminded Philotas.

"I'm driving!" Seleucus sat up with his hands on the handle.

Chariot archery Jiu'er has been practicing for several days, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to have a real combat exercise with the masters of the two armies.

Ancient Greek chariots were divided into three groups, with a charioteer, an archer, and a shield cover, and Seleucus, Phylotas, and Murix formed a chariot group.

Under the cover of Philotas's shield, Mo Jiu's arrows were not missing, and screams continued to be heard from the dense forests on both sides.

After a fierce actual battle, the ambush was finally repulsed. Only a few deserters disappeared deep into the woods.

Philotas took Seleucus's horsewhip and drove the carriage back to the martial arts training ground, Mo Jiu hugged the injured Seleucus, and couldn't help but shed tears in distress, the armor and cloak on Jiu'er's body were already stained with Seleucus's blood.

Fei'er Ling'er cried and ran towards Jiu'er, "I'm sorry, Miss, we didn't protect you. Mo Jiu looked up at the two girls and said softly, "I'm fine." ”

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old young driver soldier was still fixed on the wooden frame of the chariot, the blood on his body had been drained, but there was still a little weak breathing, Jiu'er helped Seleucus jump out of the chariot, his helmet slipped to the ground in embarrassment, his long hair was scattered on his face, Mo Jiu gently leaned down and asked the young man, "Boy, why did you betray your general, why did you drive the chariot to the enemy's ambush area." ”

Squinting at Mo Jiu, the young man said weakly, "I'm a Thebes." "There is no need to explain a word, half a year ago, Alexander led the Macedonian army to bloody the city of Thebes, no matter what the purpose, it was a hatred for the young man in front of him, and no one had any reason to blame him at this time.

Mo Jiu burst into tears, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, still a child, was burdened with such a heavy burden, "Little soldier, what's your name?" I'll set up a monument for you. ”

"My name is Sbakander, Pindar's youngest son."

Jiu'er's heart trembled suddenly, Pinda's youngest son?! Some things really come full circle, Jiu'er is a student of Pinda, whether it is true or not, she can't stop crying at this moment.

"Aren't you a student of Pinda? Don't you know him? Philotas looked at the tearful Mo Jiu in confusion, Jiu'er still smiled faintly with tears in her eyes and did not answer his question.

Philotas turned his face away and walked away thoughtfully.

Jiu'er helped Seleucus and walked to the purple myrtle bush on the edge of the martial arts training ground, Mo Jiu knew that even if she didn't make a move today, Seleucus would be fine, knowing the ending, but she still couldn't help but make a move, and her performance today would definitely arouse everyone's suspicions.

Although Seleucus was injured in both his left and right arms, Seleucus, who was wearing a metal scale cloak armor, was still majestic, handsome and fresh, with a young face, and had the illusion that he was a young overlord.

"Overlord, is that you?" In a word, it was like a flood that burst the embankment, making Jiu'er's long-suppressed emotions gush out with tears.

Seleucus suddenly pushed Mo Jiu away and said loudly, "I'm not your overlord, the first time I saw you, I heard you shout the name of the overlord, it turns out that he is your lover!" From his eyes, Jiu'er saw that it was full of vinegar, and Mo Jiu stood there stunned, tears blurring his eyes with tears.

Through two eras, each era has passed by with her beloved, she doesn't want to miss this life, although Jiu'er will only be here for eleven years, but if she can go through eleven years hand in hand with her beloved, Jiu'er is also content.

After a while, Jiu'er finally calmed down, how could it be Seleucus, he was really confused.

Looking at the angry Seleucus with teary eyes, Mo Jiu looked up at the sky in confusion, if there was no previous life, she would definitely choose Seleucus, the first time she saw him in this life, Jiu'er had a special feeling, and wanted to get closer to the handsome general.

But Mo Jiu has not forgotten that the overlord who once made Jiu'er heartbreaking should be her favorite for eternity.

Jiu'er turned his back to Seleucus and walked straight forward, just let him go back by himself, Jiu'er didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"Jiu'er, you wait for me."

Seleucus actually called Jiu'er's nickname, and Mo Jiu turned his head and looked at Seleucus with a flushed face in surprise.

Despite the injuries in his arms, General Sai stepped in front of Mo Jiu in a few steps and hugged her tightly, kissing Jiu'er on the cheek indiscriminately.

Jiu'er's overwhelmed body froze in place, not dodging, nor pandering, the long-lost warmth, maybe she wanted it or maybe it didn't belong to her.

"If it weren't for the Overlord, would you marry me?"

"Yes."

"And now?"

"No, it won't."

The conversation between two people is extremely simple.

Among the purple flowers, two people who don't know why they are connected to each other hug each other tightly, and neither of them will let go, because as long as they let go, they will never hug each other again in this life.
