Chapter 1164: Martial Test, Pearl!
Seven days ago, in the literary examination, a full hundred people stood out from thousands of talented people and were able to participate in today's martial arts examination.
The martial arts test will be held in the Hibiscus Garden, when the order of the hundred people will be shuffled and divided into ten groups, each group will have only one winner, as long as they can defeat Princess Shouning, they can become concubines.
Of course, if two or more of them defeat the princess, they will need to compete with each other again, and only one colt will be left.
As for whether the grouping will be unfair and whether the distribution of forces will be even, anyway, there is only one colt, and there is no difference between the second and the hundredth, so there is no need to think about it so much.
The courtiers are very worried about this, who doesn't know that although Princess Shouning is a woman, she is both civil and military, and her martial arts are extremely outstanding......
At that time, Baiguan had already realized that Princess Shouning had few opponents among her peers and even those who were a generation or two older than her.
And those who are higher than her martial arts have been practicing martial arts for many years, and it is impossible to participate in this competition.
Of course, this is something that prospective colts need to worry about, and they like to hear about it.
In the Hibiscus Garden, in a huge open space, ten rings have been built.
The officials and magnates in Beijing are not outside, but in a large hall, with wine and food, and talk freely with each other.
They don't pay attention to the competition outside, and after a while, they will compete for the last ten people, and they will come here.
Several white-bearded old men sat together, their faces full of spring breeze.
"This time I recruited horses, and in the literary test, I found a lot of good seedlings, which are worth paying attention to."
"That Muzi is definitely a good talent, and his political opinions are not as good as the old man's ......."
"Come on, it seems that in addition to political opinions, you can compare with others, his poems, the whole of Kyoto, there are few who can compare with him, and even reminded the old man of King Jing back then, strangely, why have such people never heard of it before......"
"Compared with King Jing, it is a little too exaggerate......d, in fact, in addition to this mysterious Muzi, there are a few others, and their performance is remarkable......
……
In the hall, the officials and magnates in the court didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, but next to the ring in the Hibiscus Garden, the people who had already got their respective groups were full of sadness.
An elegant-looking young man waved his hand violently, with a look of indignation: "The literary test is the literary test, why do you have to compete again, it is insulting to Sven, it is simply insulting to Sven......"
One of the people beside him nodded in agreement, and said, "We are waiting for the pen to settle the world, how can we act like a reckless man......"
A eunuch came over and said, "Both, please come to the ring!" ”
Hearing this, the two silently stepped into the ring.
It is extremely difficult to stand out from thousands of people, even if it is insulting, they must not let go of this opportunity.
The rules of the second martial arts test are very simple, that is, there are no rules.
Ten rings, one incense stick, and finally standing in each ring, it is the winner, who can enter the inner sanctum and carry out the final level.
There were also a lot of onlookers standing around the ring, and as a eunuch lit incense and announced the start of the martial arts test, the atmosphere in the ring immediately changed.
Even the referees on the sidelines couldn't believe what they saw.
They have seen young and handsome scholars who splash ink and write splendid articles in the examination room, but they have never seen weak scholars who are in a mess, scratching their faces and flirting with their faces, and doing everything they can.
If you think about it, it's not surprising that there is such a scene.
In the end, it is rare to have all-round talents in civil and military affairs, how difficult it is to take the first literary test, most of the people left in this pass are extremely literary readers, and there are countless people who have no power to tie the chicken, let them write articles, let them compete to win------ is the scene in front of them.
Of course, not all of the ten rings are so unsightly.
A certain two rings are the home of the young and handsome men of the two families in Beijing, they have martial arts skills, and the rest of the people in the ring were quickly cleared out by them.
There was also a ring, where nine people were rarely united, chasing a fat man and beating him, I don't know what the situation was......
The weirdest thing is that I'm afraid it's the first ring.
There were only two people in the first ring, and the two stood on one side of the ring, motionless.
Li Yi also cleared out the few people who rushed to him for the first time, only to find that there was only one person left on the opposite side.
The man wore a hood on his head, which covered his face, and he could not see clearly when he stood outside.
The other party's body was also covered in a loose robe, and it was difficult to get a trace of it.
In addition to Li Yi himself, this is another weirdo who is unwilling to show his true face.
The other party didn't move, and Li Yi didn't move.
He didn't move because the person on the other side was very powerful, very powerful.
Li Yi only taught Li Han yesterday, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, but I didn't expect that it was only a day later, and some things were fulfilled in him.
He thought that his life had opened a lot, and now under the grandmaster, it is difficult to see an opponent, and it is obvious that he has also been a frog at the bottom of the well.
The person on the other side was obviously not a grandmaster yet, but he was not sure that he would be able to defeat him.
Li Yi didn't move, so the person on the other side moved.
His speed was very fast, and an afterimage even appeared in front of Li Yi, and his figure flickered and disappeared in place, and at the same time, the figure of that person appeared in the position he had just now.
Li Yi suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.
Not the scent of perfume.
It is the fragrance of the pearl.
"Pearl!"
His eyes widened because he was so shocked that he even used his original voice.
The figure had already moved, and after hearing his voice, it slammed.
Li Yi could feel a pair of shocked eyes looking at him under the cloak.
He walked over quickly, but the figure hidden under the cloak suddenly took a few steps back, jumped directly out of the ring, and soon disappeared from his sight.
Li Yi stood alone in the ring, a little dazed.
What's going on?
Mingzhu disguised herself as a man and robbed Shouning with him?
Li Yi himself was still shocked, not to mention the audience below.
The man with the cloak just now actually had an afterimage, presumably a master, they were in the mood, but the other party suddenly abstained from power, and there was surprise and disappointment in his heart.
In desperation, he had to set his sights on the last ring that had not yet decided the winner.
In the ring, a young scholar with a blue nose and swollen face laboriously pushed a companion off the ring, looked left and right, and found that apart from him, only the fat man lying on the edge of the ring was left.
As long as you drag that fat man down, he's the winner.
He walked over to the fat man, grabbed his legs, and dragged him outward.
The fat man didn't move.
His face flushed, and he exerted a little more strength.
Sting!
The fat man's trouser leg was torn by him, and he held a piece of cloth in his hand and fell headlong into the ring.
So far, the ten people who won the martial arts test have all competed.
……
Hibiscus Garden, somewhere inside the temple.
Li Xuan looked left and right, puzzled: "Strange, where did Mingzhu go?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside.
Li Xuan stepped forward and said, "Where have you been, the last ten people have already competed, and we should go to the temple." ”
"Something has been delayed." Li Mingzhu sorted out his clothes and said, "Let's go." ”
……
"The Queen Mother has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived!"
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
"The eldest princess has arrived! Princess Shouning has arrived! ”
In the main hall, hearing the shrill and thin voice of the eunuch, many courtiers and dignitaries bowed down one after another.
"It's all excused." The Queen Mother looked down and said, "Xuan those ten young handsome people enter the hall......"
A hint of suspicion appeared on Li Xuan's face, and he muttered, "It's all this time, and that guy hasn't even shown up yet......"
Li Mingzhu glanced outside the hall, retracted his gaze, and did not speak.
Shou Ning sat in his place, his body straight, his eyes looked in the direction outside the hall, his eyes did not blink, and his hands tightly held the corners of his skirt......
Led by a eunuch, nine people entered the main hall.
The reason why there are nine people is because there is also a fat man, who was carried in.
Li Xuan's gaze glanced at the faces of those people, showing disappointment.
Shou Ning's gaze looked at the figure on the far left at a glance, and he couldn't move away......
