Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.

Many things may be predestined by heaven, and no one can change them, such as Ling Kun in the previous life was struck by lightning, and Ling Kun in the later life was the champion.

Yes, Ling Kun did win the champion, even in that state where the defeat was decided, God still gave him the champion.

With his superb skills and absolute control of the battle situation, Wang Yingjue turned defeat into victory in a slightly disadvantaged situation, and hit Ling Kun at the same time with two consecutive moves.

Ling Kun used his strong internal force to resist the first blow of the halberd handle, but he couldn't stop the second move.

However, the unexpected arose.

Wang Yingjue's Fang Tian painting halberd smashed on Ling Kun's head and snapped, the halberd handle flew out, and the halberd head was still hanging on the barrel of Ling Kun's gun. Because there was no halberd handle to support it, the sharp and matchless halberd head quickly drooped, changing its original direction.

So, coincidentally, Wang Yingjue's arrow-like kick collided with his halberd head.

Wang Yingjue screamed miserably, fell from the air, and wailed with a bloody foot.

The situation was too sudden, too weird, no one inside or outside the field could see clearly, even Ling Kun didn't know what was going on, and looked at Wang Yingjue on the ground blankly.

"What's going on? What's going on? Zhao Guangyi spread his hands and asked.

"Quick, quick, Your Majesty asks what's going on?" Wang Jien held the dust in his hand and shouted to the soldiers and locals.

The referee from the military department hurriedly came up and replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Yingjue's Fang Tianhua halberd is broken, and he just kicked it on the head of his halberd, and he was injured and fell off the horse." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Guangyi exclaimed: "Is this destined by heaven?" ”

At the end of the competition, Ling Kun, who was stunned, and Zhao Mingyue, who was also stunned, went home together. Along the way, none of them spoke, because they still can't believe what happened today.

When I returned home, I saw the kitchen smoky and burning, as if it had been on fire. Ling Kun hurriedly ran in, but saw Xiao Ran cooking inside, with a few pieces of black charcoal-like stuff fried in the pot, and black smoke was emitting.

Ling Kun added firewood into the depths of the stove, scooped a scoop of water and poured it into the pot, only to hear a stabbing sound, and a mushroom cloud rose from the kitchen again.

Little ancestor, is this cooking or building an atomic bomb?

Ling Kun pulled Xiao Ran out of the kitchen, and Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but giggle when she saw Xiao Ran's face covered with black dirt.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Mingyue asked with a smile.

"Of course it's cooking, my newly learned kung pao chicken." Xiao Ran said with a stiff neck.

Ling Kun raised his forehead and sighed: "What are you making of Kung Pao Chicken, it's stir-fried carbon lumps." ”

"Poof." Zhao Mingyue smiled and leaned back.

Xiao Ran pouted and said, "It's not, it's just that the heat hasn't been mastered well." By the way, how are you doing in the competition? ”

"I don't know." Ling Kun replied blankly.

"How can you not know, lose or win?" Xiao Ran asked.

Ling Kun looked at Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Mingyue spread his hands and said, "It seems to have lost, and it seems to have won." ”

"Are you two sick, what's the matter?"

"Forget it, no matter what, it'll be determined after the list is released tomorrow." Zhao Mingyue sighed: "I'm really dizzy, go back to sleep, see you tomorrow morning." Then he turned and went back.

Xiao Ran spread his hands and said, "What should I do?" The food is all smashed, or I'll invite you to the restaurant. ”

"Don't, I'll invite you to eat, I'm afraid you'll invite me to eat fried charcoal lumps." Ling Kun teased.

"Why are you so annoying, then I'm going to eat saliva chicken." Xiao Ran happily grabbed Ling Kun's arm and walked out of the small courtyard.

In the evening, the lights in the upper study were bright, and Zhao Guangyi, Kou Zhun and other martial arts examiners gathered together to decide the ranking of martial arts.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the 36 names on the table and said, "There should be no objections to these top three, right?" ”

Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty, Wang Qinruo specifically appealed to me just now, saying that Wang Yingjue's martial arts are obviously higher than Ling Kun's, and the reason why he was injured was only an accident, not Ling Kun's injury. ”

"What do you think?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

Qian Tongguang and Wang Qinruo were officials in the same dynasty, and they were happy to sell him a favor, so they said: "Lord Wang is also reasonable, choosing generals for the imperial court, giving priority to the capable, Wang Yingjue just lost in luck." ”

The two Hanlin scholars also had the same idea, and they both agreed with Qian Tongguang's opinion.

"Kou Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that the court was openly competing in the martial arts arena, and no matter what happened, the winner would come first, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public, and the credibility of the court would be greatly reduced. As for who the emperor thinks is more capable, it can be adjusted when he is crowned an official in the future. ”

"It's still Kou Aiqing's far-sightedness, whether it is from the strategy or the bow horse, Ling Kun is slightly better, this champion should be Ling Kun's, Wang Yingjue will be on the list, and the rest of the people will be ranked according to the military department."

Zhao Yuanzuo was sent to Ryukyu and traveled all the way south, and when he reached Huangshan, he was finally caught up by a messenger sent to catch up, read out the holy decree, and demoted him to a concubine, but he could return to the capital to live. Everyone was overjoyed, and then turned the car back to Kaifeng.

This morning, Zhao Yuanzuo and his family returned to Beijing, and Zhao Guangyi ordered him to live in Nangong and not to come and go at will.

After the third prince Zhao Yuankan learned the news, he hurriedly asked Zhao Mingyue to see his eldest brother.

Zhao Mingyue was also ecstatic, but finally had a matter on her mind, so she decided to go to see her eldest brother first, and then ask Ling Kun to see the martial arts list.

The brother and sister are reunited, and they are overjoyed. Although Zhao Yuanzuo was demoted to a concubine, he was not interested in fame and fortune, as long as he could be by his relatives, he would be satisfied.

After coming out of Nangong, it was already close to noon, Zhao Mingyue hurriedly said goodbye to the third brother and went straight to Ling Kun's small courtyard. Because she passed by the Gongyuan on the way, she couldn't wait to take a look at the list first.

The list was posted early in the morning, and everyone who should have seen it has seen it, but at the moment it is lonely on the wall, only a few leisurely old men stand below and point fingers and comment.

Old Man A pointed to the list and said, "Look at the second place, I heard that it is the son of King Qinruo, Taichang Cheng. ”

Yi Laohan continued: "I heard that the first place Ling Kun is an ordinary son of Qizhou, and the son of Taichang Cheng won the second place, which shows that the imperial court examination is fair." ”

Zhao Mingyue stared at it, Ling Kun's name was indeed at the top of the list, and Wang Yingjue was second.

She rushed all the way to the small courtyard with great excitement, but saw Xiao Ran standing alone at the door, looking flustered and anxious.

"What's wrong? What about Ling Kun? Zhao Mingyue asked.

"Sister Mingyue is not good, Ling Kun was snatched away." Xiao Ran said urgently.

"Snatched? Who snatched it? Zhao Mingyue asked.
