Chapter 4: Absolute Learning

"So the order

Prime Minister Xie Tao stepped forward and said: For the country and the people, how can the ministers not know the importance of everything, everything is up to the emperor. ”

"Okay." Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Yuan Dynasty said: "Brother Wang thinks how to compare the law. ”

Sima Shun came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since he has tried in the north, he will divide the art of war, swordsmanship, bow and arrow, immediately swords and guns, and step down fists and feet." A total of five events and three games to win the win, the two sides compete, point to the end, do not maliciously hurt people's lives, do not use hidden weapons to hurt people. The venue of the competition is at the Royal Forest Military Academy, and the emperor can watch it in person. The winner seals on the spot and can point troops. ”

Sima Yan nodded and said, "Then bother Brother Wang to go and arrange one or two, and I will be there later."

Sima Shun stood up and retreated, arranging matters. Sima Yan looked at Prince Ning again, and asked the four generals below, "Do you have any objections?" Everyone said: "The emperor is sage." ”

Sima Yan looked at the old lady and said, "I don't know where Miss Mao is, but I have been prepared." ”

The old lady smiled and said: "Feng'er came with the courtiers early in the morning, and now she is waiting outside the palace, and everything has been prepared." ”

Sima Yan ordered someone to announce Mao Lingfeng into the hall.

I saw a woman in white step forward steadily, knelt in front of the steps and said: "The people's girl Mao Lingfeng sees the emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

Sima Xing raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, flat body." ”

Mao Lingfeng stood up straight and stood with his hands down. Sima Yan took a look, and saw that she was dressed in white fluttering, dressed in a strong suit, wearing a silver fox cloak, bright eyes and sharp teeth, looking forward to brilliance, heroic posture, a green silk obliquely inserted into a plum blossom hairpin, simple and capable.

In a trance, it was like at the palace banquet two years ago, she and Wang Jingyu, Wang Jingyu stroked the qin, Mao Lingfeng danced the sword, and the qin and sword were combined. The sound of the piano is like water flowing clouds, and the aftermath is lingering. The sword moves like a frightening dragon. The white clothes fluttering are like fairies descending to earth, a song of the piano ends, and a sword dances. It is also said that the piano and sword are unique, so that many princes and grandsons are in love, crazy chasing, and those who seek relatives break through the threshold. married Wang Jingyu as a concubine, but Mao Lingfeng rejected the princes' courtship and married Xie Wenjun, the son of the prime minister. Just wait for the three-year filial piety period to pass, you can get married, and now the best time has come, but there will be another incident. asked in a sullen voice: "Mao Lingfeng, your grandmother recommended you to me as a general, do you have something to say?" ”

Mao Lingfeng knelt down, straightened his back, raised his head and said: If he can be a general, Ling Feng is willing to wrap the body in horse leather, cross the horse field, protect the family and the country, protect the safety of one party, and die without regrets. ”

The words came out, the words were sonorous, and the face was resolute.

Prince Ning snorted, it's too early to say this, you will definitely win."

Mao Lingfeng said categorically: "I will not lose." ”

On the side, Prince Tai sneered, and it would not end well when the cowhide was blown out. ”

Mao Lingfeng looked angrily, turned his head and just collided with Xie Wenjun's eyes, and saw that he implied blame, so he hurriedly turned his head away.

A group of people waited to sit down in the school field, Sima Yan looked around, turned his head and asked Sima Shun: "What arrangements will Brother Wang make, how to compete." ”

Sima Shun bowed down and said: "First compare bows and arrows, then northern swordsmanship, then swords, guns and fists, and finally the art of war." In the archery competition, each person has ten feather arrows, and whoever shoots the fastest will be the first with the most hearts. As for the swordsmanship, each round is decided by lottery, each person has a number plate, and the 132 day duel, the fifth bye is drawn, and the four-person winner challenges the bye. Whoever wins in the end will be the first.

Sima Yan looked at Taifu and Prime Minister and asked, "What do the two Qing families think?" ”

Taifu Wang Yan and Prime Minister Xie Tao replied in unison: "The ministers feel so good."

The No. 5 arrow rake ran two laps around the school field and saw that several other people had already shot a few feather arrows. The corners of the lips are slightly hooked, slowly draw out five feather arrows from the quiver, put them on the string, the bow pulls the full moon, when passing through the arrow rake, let go, the swishing sound, the uniform sound tears the sky, the five feather arrows are in a row, shoot the arrow rake, and hit the red heart.

"Five-star aligned archery." Someone screamed. The crowd watching on the field stood up. Sima Yan jumped up even more, pointed at Mao Lingfeng and said tremblingly: "This is the five-star Lianzhu, how did she practice it." "It is said that hundreds of years ago, the flying general Li Guang became famous with one arrow, and after that, no one was able to practice it and became a peerless learner.

The old lady was also stunned, she didn't know when her granddaughter would practice this peerless archery, and saw Mao Lingfeng draw out five feather arrows again, pull the bowstring in front of the rake, let go, snapped a few times, and saw that all the feather arrows shot in front were shot by the feather arrows sent back, and fell to the ground through the arrow rake.

The other four people were dumbfounded, then the bow and arrow forgot to shoot, looking at the delicate figure on the field, her posture was flamboyant, and she was dressed in white like snow.

Prince Ning, and King Taiqin, their faces were pale, and they didn't say a word.

Sima Shun took a mouthful, pressed, and couldn't imagine that this girl, her archery skills were so superb, she really hid it deeply, and she had to worry about it in vain. secretly glanced at Mao Lingfeng, and saw that she was not arrogant or impatient, standing on the stage with a calm face.

After a day of fierce competition, Mao Lingfeng won the championship with bows and arrows, swordsmanship, and strategy, and Sima Xing issued an order on the spot to seal Mao Lingfeng as the general of Fengying, leading 200,000 troops, and going out the day after tomorrow.

Ordered Sima Shun to assist in ordering troops, Mao Lingfeng took the seal of the holy decree and returned to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Xie Wenjun's face turned pale, and he staggered back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xie Tao stared at him and scolded: "It's not promising." ”

Mao Lingfeng hurriedly ate dinner, returned to Lingxiang Pavilion, bathed and changed clothes, stroked the general's seal, and was sitting there pondering, without any joy on his face.

The two girls who knew the book and the painting didn't dare to disturb and stood aside. Zhiqin hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Miss, my uncle is here, the old lady please see me in the main hall."

"Xie Wenjun." Mao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, thinking that what he should face is to come to the place after all. Mao Lingfeng got up and walked downstairs, walked through the corridor to the main hall, and saw the old lady sitting on the top, and the third uncle and Xie Wenjun sitting on the left and right respectively.

Mao Lingfeng blessed his body: "I have seen my grandmother and third uncle." ”

The old lady beckoned: "Feng'er, come and sit down!"

Mao Lingfeng owed to Xie Wenjun and sat down on the side.

The old lady frowned: "Feng'er, you see that this holy decree has been made, and the day after tomorrow will go on the expedition, what do you think of the marriage with Wen Jun?" ”

Mao Lingfeng suppressed the pain in his heart, got up and solemnly saluted and said: "Grandmother, this holy decree has arrived, and the day after tomorrow will go on the expedition, there is no way to change it, of course the marriage will be stopped, and the wedding letter and dowry will be returned." Please ask the son to hire another lady, do not hesitate. ”

After speaking, he blessed Xie Wenjun: "It's Feng'er's blessing, fortunately I have the good intentions of my son, please forgive me." After saying that, he held back tears and turned away.

Xie Wenjun hurriedly got up and grabbed her hand and said, "Feng'er, don't be in a hurry to leave, can you listen to me and make a decision after you say a few words?" ”

Mao Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said: "At this point, it's useless to talk more, it's me who is sorry for the son, sorry for the Xie family, everything is Ling Feng's fault, please let the son go!" ”

"No, I'm not letting go, I'll wait for you to come back." Xie Wenjun held Mao Lingfeng's hand tightly. Said affectionately.
