Chapter 90 - Recruiting Relatives by Contesting Seventeen

No one thought that this time the drinking competition ended in Ling Xia's victory, because the two vomited too fiercely, the competition of the other three groups had to be temporarily stopped, Zhen Guogong put the two aside, and used internal force to help the two dispel the alcohol in their bodies.

Seeing that his palace was full of wine by Ling Xia and Ying Qiankun, Xia Yuanyu hurriedly ordered someone to clean the room, and after the palace maids and eunuchs cleaned up the palace, the competition returned to normal, and at this time Ling Xia and Ying Qiankun also regained their consciousness.

After learning the results and process of the competition from the mouth of Zhenguo Gong, he heard that the two of them not only polluted the imperial uterus, but also interrupted the competition of other groups.

Xia Yuanwei waved his hand, signaling to forgive the two of them, and after Ling Xia and the two got up, Xia Yuanjian looked at Ying Qiankun playfully: "Brother Qiankun, you lost to General Ling Xia in the competition, and it will be dangerous in the future." ”

"It's okay, there is another chance in the future, no matter who the opponent is, I will block and kill the god and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha." As he spoke, Ying Qiankun clenched his fists tightly, and when he heard his cruel words, several candidates who were behind in the competition secretly complained in their hearts.

About a tea time later, the competition of the other three groups also ended, in addition to Ling Xia, Qiu Luobei, Mu Wanqiong, and Zhuge Qing also defeated their respective opponents, while Ying Qiankun, Nangong Xiu, Zhong Yuelin, and Peng Xiaocang were defeated.

According to the rules, later, Ling Xia, Qiu Luobei, Mu Wanqiong, and Zhuge Qing will have a draw grouping, and then continue to play a two-by-two duel, and the two winning candidates will be eligible to enter the finals.

The four of Ying Qiankun, Nangong Xiu, Zhong Yuelin, and Peng Xiaocang will have a big brawl, and the winner of the four will also advance to the finals, and the three losing candidates will be eliminated together with the other two losers.

After a little trimming, Ling Xia and the four of them drew lots for the second time, this time, only the heaven, earth, and two kinds of bamboo sticks were left on the bamboo sticks, Ling Xia drew a bamboo stick with the word "earth" written on it this time, and looked up, his opponent was Zhuge Qing.

Because the four people who failed this time were all good at martial arts, they decided to engage in an indiscriminate martial arts brawl, and the candidate who won in the end was the winner, although the victory of Qiankun martial arts was higher than that of the three, but if Zhong Yuelin and the three of them joined forces, it was unpredictable to win Qiankun.

When the four of them went to the courtyard to test their martial arts, Ling Xia walked up to Zhuge Qing to observe each other, Zhuge Qing's face was a little arrogant, his eyes were always used to picking up, and he had a feeling of looking down on people, Ling Xia looked at Zhuge Qing with a smile and asked him what he was better than?

Hearing Ling Xia's inquiry, Zhuge Qing thought for a while, and then he folded his hands behind his back and replied with an arrogant face: "Young Master Ben was born in a scholarly family, and he has been familiar with poetry since he was a child.

As a commander general, you must be good at weapons and martial arts, in this case, today Young Master Ben will try your martial arts with you, later, I will hit you three times first, and then you will beat me three times, and then continue the cycle until one side can no longer bear it. ”

"Hehe, Qing'er's move is very wonderful, before coming here, I specially investigated Ling Xia, the reason why this person was able to be promoted to the commander of ten thousand is purely due to luck, there is no real material at all, he has never fought a battle, and his greatest achievement is to escort Peng Lie into the imperial capital.

According to intelligence, this son was originally just a cooking soldier, and his official positions were basically bought with gold coins, and he cheated by suppressing bandits and going to the military department. relied on mutiny, and finally rose to the level by contributing to Peng Lie.

It can be said responsibly that Ling Xia, the commander of ten thousand masters, has not been worthy of his name, and other generals have been promoted by virtue of real military merits, while Ling Xia's promotion has relied on good luck, and he has not mastered the martial arts cultivation at the level of ten thousand commanders at all.

Although Zhuge Qing was born in a literati family, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has been practicing hard for more than 20 years.

Although Zhuge Qing's martial arts can't be compared with Win Qiankun, but it is more than enough to deal with Ling Xia's parallel goods, and now Qing'er proposes to test martial arts, which seems to be beneficial to Ling Xia on the surface, but in fact, it is himself who really benefits.

Because Ling Xia had already shown his unparalleled talent yesterday, if he tried to show his literary talents, Zhuge Qing would undoubtedly lose, so Zhuge Qing promoted his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and deliberately chose to test his martial arts. Zhuge Yiyan nodded secretly, and looked at his grandson with an approving expression.

Ling Xia heard Zhuge Qing's proposal, thought for a while, and then nodded and agreed: "Since Zhuge Gongzi is willing to test his martial arts, he must have already made up his mind in his heart, so it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

When the words fell, Ling Xia silently lucked the "Da Luo Jin Immortal Immortal Divine Skill" that he had cultivated, and after posing a mysterious move, he nodded at Zhuge Qing, signaling that Zhuge Qing could attack.

Seeing Ling Xia put on a good posture, Zhuge Qing sneered, he silently carried ten percent of his internal force, and after the internal force ran his whole body, he bullied himself in front of Ling Xia, and performed three moves in a row. "This skill is extremely domineering, and after it is performed, it can open the stele and crack the stone.

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Ling Xia took Zhuge Qing's three palms one after another, and when Zhuge Qing's palm power passed through Ling Xia's body, he was isolated by an imperceptible breath, coupled with the barrier of body armor, so on the surface, Ling Xia was knocked back three steps, but in fact, he didn't have anything at all.

"How is this possible? After bearing my palms three times in a row, he didn't have anything at all, could it be that the previous information was wrong? Isn't this Ling Xia a parallel import? Seeing Ling Xia walking towards him unscathed, Zhuge Qing was suddenly a little confused.

When Ling Xia walked towards Zhuge Qing, he was secretly wondering in his heart, how should he fight back against the other party? Ling Xia didn't practice the martial arts of attacking the enemy, and besides, he was only cultivating with external strength at this time, if he used this realm of martial arts to hit Zhuge Qing's three palms, it was estimated that it would be no different from tickling.

Since you want to compete, you have to deter the other party with a move, if you can't bluff the other party, then you can only be beaten later, through the fight just now, Ling Xia can see that Zhuge Qing's cultivation is obviously a lot higher than himself, if you want to win, only by using strange tricks can it work.

His eyes rolled around, Ling Xia had an idea in his heart, he didn't stop when he came to Zhuge Qing, but walked straight out of the door, seeing Ling Xia's strange behavior, everyone was stunned, and they all looked at him with a puzzled face, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Ling Xia's gourd?

Walking into the courtyard and seeing that the four of Ying Qiankun were competing in martial arts, Ling Xia did not pay attention to the competition between the four of them, but looked around, and when he saw the huge plane tree standing outside the wall of the Taigong Courtyard, a smile appeared on his face.

No one saw Ling Xia's movements clearly, only to see him raise his hand and point at the plane tree hundreds of meters away, and then he heard a "bang" sound, when the sound dissipated, a falcon that was originally hovering on the leaves suddenly fell to the ground.

After landing, the eagle falcon shook its body, and then it ran out of breath, seeing this scene, the four people who were originally competing stopped all of them, and the three Xia Yuanji, who had been sitting on the chair, all subconsciously stood up.

"Take your life in the air! How can there be such a miracle in the world? This kind of martial art is already close to the Dao, Ling Xia actually has such a cultivation, it is really hidden. ”

Seeing the scene of Ling Xia's kung fu exposed, everyone, including Yingtian, was stunned, and Xia Yuanji's shocked expression was even a little jealous, for fear that Ling Xia would come at him like that.

In the stunned expressions of everyone, Ling Xia walked to the corner of the courtyard wall, where a dead falcon was lying quietly, while people were not paying attention, Ling Xia found the wound, quietly took the bullet casing, and then, he carried the corpse of the falcon towards Zhuge Qing.

Coming to Zhuge Qing, Ling Xia threw the body of the eagle falcon at Zhuge Qing's feet, and then, Ling Xia took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood stained on his hands: "Zhuge Gongzi, if you think you can take my three fingers, then let's continue to compete." ”

"This ------- well------ this --------" After hearing this, Zhuge Qing showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

At this moment, Ying Tian on the side picked up the corpse of the falcon, carefully examined the wound, and looked at the plane tree outside the courtyard wall, he couldn't help but evaluate the kung fu that Ling Xia had just performed from a professional point of view:

"This place is about four hundred steps away from the top of the plane tree, and the falcon is hovering in the air, this distance can kill the falcon in the air, which shows that the invisible finger power issued by Ling Xia has been able to condense into substance.

The wound is located at the skull of the falcon, and the bone here is the hardest part of the falcon's body, a few points harder than a stone, but even with such a hard skull, it was still hit with a finger mark half a finger deep, which shows that Ling Xia's internal force is very deep.

With all due respect, although Zhuge Qing has a heavy cultivation of internal strength, this kind of cultivation can't stop Ling Xia's finger at all, if you rush to face the battle, Zhuge Qing's fate will probably be the same as this eagle falcon, I advise you to admit defeat. ”

"Throw in the towel? This ----- this------ "Hearing Yingtian's suggestion, Zhuge Qing was stunned in place, now that he has come to this point, he is very unwilling to admit defeat so obediently, but if he fights against Ling Xia, Zhuge Qing is worried that Ling Xia will make a black move.

Although he has practiced external skills, his body bones are still ordinary flesh, not much harder than that eagle falcon, if Ling Xia performed the trick just now during the competition, he was not sure that he would be next, and Ling Xia would pierce three blood holes in his body.

Admit defeat, no face, don't admit it, and have no bottom, Zhuge Qing looked at the corpse of the falcon, looking at the black wound on the head of the eagle falcon, his heart kept spinning, Zhuge Qing muttered silently, not knowing whether he wanted to face Ling Xia.

Just when Zhuge Qing was in a dilemma, suddenly, Zhuge Yiyan, who had been silent before, spoke: "General Ling Xia is deeply hidden, the old man is considered to have learned today, in this game, the old man admits defeat on behalf of Zhuge Qing, and congratulates General Ling Xia on passing the final." ”

In the end, it was his grandson, worried that his grandson was in danger, and saw that Zhuge Qing couldn't wipe his face and admit defeat, Zhuge stood up to speak for his grandson, and after admitting defeat, Zhuge Qing walked to the side and stood aside.

And Ling Xia bowed to the prince and greeted him, and then went to the side to watch the battle, after half a cup of tea, the four of them divided the victory and defeat, although Zhong Yuelin and the three of them joined forces to attack to win Qiankun, but they were still broken by Win Qiankun, and finally won the victory.

Shortly after the end of the winning Qiankun group, Qiu Luobei and Mu Wanqiong were in the process of competing for digital comic poems, Qiu Luobei defeated Mu Wanqiong and won the third place to go straight to the finals.

After the competition, Xia Yuanjian got up to congratulate the three of them, because there were twists and turns that needed to be approved, so after Xia Yuanjian encouraged the three of them, he ordered the eunuch to send the three out of the palace, but Yingtian and Zhuge Yiyan were left behind.

Back in the camp tent, Ling Xia didn't have the heart to deal with military affairs, in the past few days, he handed over all military affairs to Qu Qinshi, and Ling Xia of the 4,000-person team was handed over to Shangguan Hui to manage, the reason why she was chosen was because only Shangguan Hui had the talent among many people.

As soon as he returned to the camp tent today, he saw Qu Qinshi leading several commanders to wait from the camp tent, seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Ling Xia couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked, "Why didn't you go to the school training factory for training?" ”

"General, there is a war report from the border, the troops of the Infinite Ocean Island Country have recently gathered on the border line of Luwangjiang for exercises, and during the exercise last night, one of their soldiers disappeared, and the military of the Infinite Ocean Island Country asked to enter Luwangjiang to find the missing soldiers, but was rejected by the local garrison of the war guards.

Just yesterday night, the Second Corps under the command of the First Group Army of the Infinite Ocean Island Country was all dispatched, and there were three reorganized corps under the command of the enemy's Second Corps, and a full 300,000 enemy troops attacked Luwangjiang at night.

The battle guards of the ten provinces of Luwangjiang all went out to resist, but due to being outnumbered and the scattered troops, in the face of the overall charge of the enemy's second corps, all the 300,000 battle guards in Luwangjiang were killed, and Hu Anzong, the great overseer of the territorial united front, and He Yuqi, the commander of the military aircraft, died in the border line.

After hearing the news, the brothers couldn't sit still, and they asked for orders to fight, I don't dare to make up my mind about this kind of thing, so let everyone wait for you here. Qu Qinshi told what happened.

After listening, Ling Xia suddenly frowned, thought for a moment, Ling Xia sighed and told everyone that they belonged to the Praetorian Guard, and their duty was to be responsible for the security of the forbidden city and the imperial capital, and the border battle was the business of the War Guards, and they were afraid that they would not be able to interfere.

Hearing Ling Xia's words, everyone left the camp with a disappointed face, looking at everyone's backs, thinking of the war on the border, Ling Xia suddenly fell into silence.

Lu Wangjiang's matter obviously did not affect the mood of the people in the imperial capital, perhaps, they did not put the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Infinite Ocean Island Country in their eyes at all, at this time, everyone was still busy with the matter of the princess recruiting relatives.

Today is the finals, but also the last competition to recruit relatives, early in the morning, Ling Xia, Win Qiankun, Qiu Luobei, the three of them followed the civil and military officials to the forbidden city "Jinxiao Palace" to gather.

This morning, the current emperor will preside over the finals in the Jinxiao Palace, and personally evaluate the three candidates.

At the moment, in the Jinxiao Palace!

The three of Ling Xia and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood in the Jinxiao Hall and waited for a long time, this Jinxiao Hall is similar to the Jinluan Hall in later generations, there are two rows of officials standing in the main hall, dozens of generals on the left, and dozens of civil servants on the right.

At the top of the civil and military officials, there are nine unicorn chairs horizontally, at this time, there are nine men of different ages sitting on these nine chairs, although they have a little age gap, but they are wearing python dragon inlaid silver court clothes, only the middle person is wearing a dragon embroidered gold court dress.

These nine people are the nine princes of the dynasty, the crown prince Xia Yuanji sits in the center, and the remaining eight princes sit on both sides, there is a pure gold step behind the nine princes, and there is a purple jade dragon chair symbolizing the ninety-five supreme on the steps.

Just as the three of Ling Xia and the civil and military officials were standing in the hall waiting, suddenly, four big eunuchs in red robes walked in from the side door, and the leading eunuch shouted: "The emperor has arrived." Afterwards, the civil and military officials and the nine princes all stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me------ ahem------ today is the day I choose a horse for the princess------ you don't have to be restrained." A moment later, a plain but majestic voice slowly came in from the side door.

After leveling down, Ling Xia looked in the direction of the voice, and saw an old man with a thin body, a sickly face, wearing a dragon robe, and a kind expression walking slowly, this person was the current emperor ----- Xia Ding.

There are four red-robed eunuchs in front of the emperor to open the way, there is a saber guard on the left and right sides to protect him, and eight palace maids are followed behind him.

"Alas----- I'm old, and I'm tired after walking a few steps." Walking to the dragon chair, Xia Ding coughed a few times out of breath, looked around for the first time, he sat down on the dragon chair slowly, and the moment Xia Ding sat on the dragon chair, a vast, irresistible, and supreme majestic aura emanated from Xia Ding's body.

At this time, although Xia Ding's face still had a kind smile, the suffocating sense of depression made everyone a little breathless, this kind of momentum has nothing to do with cultivation, it is a kind of high-level person's spontaneous breath.

Slowly glancing at everyone, Xia Ding focused on the three of Ling Xia, looked at them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction: "Win Qiankun Jiangmen Huzi, the talent of the Northern Qilin in the Autumn Fall, Ling Xia is wise and unparalleled, the three of you are very good."

To tell the truth, after watching the competition experience of the three of you, I am really happy for my Great Xia, such a peerless talent was born in my Great Xia, it is the blessing of the common people, the blessing of the people, the blessing of the court, and the blessing of me, the three of you are all good.

Although I only have one daughter, I can only choose one colt, but I cherish talents, and later, no matter who is elected as a colt, the remaining two I will be rewarded, and the loser will be rewarded with 1,000 jade coins, 100 brocade cloth, and two consecutive promotions in official positions, and two grades of rank.

As for my fast son-in-law, in addition to marrying my most beloved princess, he will also receive 10,000 jade coins, 1,000 horses, 100 carts of brocade cloth, 10 boxes of jewelry, and most importantly, I will be awarded the title of "the world's first warrior". ”

After hearing the words "the first warrior in the world", everyone in the Jinxiao Hall gasped......
