The big school field. The fighting battle continues to rage.
A challenger was chased and beaten by you, forced to the edge of the fence of the school field, with no way to escape, and voluntarily abandoned his weapon and surrendered;
A challenger is grabbed by your arm and twisted backwards until the arm is dislocated;
The horses of the two challengers collided head-on;

You'll always maintain respect for your opponents in every thrilling fight, and you can precisely control the level of damage you inflict on them.
You have used your fighting language to show the whole army your military thinking and your character.
Those who understand the gist of it are fascinated by it, and those who do not understand the gist of it are also thrilled to watch.
In those 16 fights, you didn't meet any real opponents.
So, it's not so much a fight as it is a personal show for you.
It was through this wonderful performance that you conquered the hearts of the Northern Han army.
You have proved to them that you are worthy of rulership!

When you defeat your opponent in the final 1v4 fight, you have to wait a long time, and no one will step up and continue to challenge you.
After the whole army waited quietly for a quarter of an hour, someone in the queue suddenly shouted with admiration: "Long live the general!" ”
On the spot, everyone responded from all directions!
The sound of "Long live the general" resounded throughout the audience!
In this wave after wave of fierce fighting, Liu Shen, who was sweating profusely, immediately stiffened a little with the relieved smile on his face.
Before he could change the expression on his face, you raised your saber in your hand, and you turned your horse's head to face our direction.
Your eyes fall on me.
Then, I heard you raise your sword and raise your arms and shout, "Long live King Han!" ”
In the audience, there was a "Long live the King of Han!" In the huge cheers, Liu Shen's smile regained its brightness.

The contest ended early at noon.
The opponents of the Northern Han army have been completely defeated by you. Not only have you defeated their flesh, but you have also broken their will and spirit. You have given them no more reason and courage to insist on resisting you as the commander-in-chief of the whole army.

After the decisive battle on the school field, I returned to the palace with Liu Shen.
From the moment I entered the palace gate, I felt that this palace was a little different from when we went out in the morning.
After a few seconds, I realized what was different:
Since I married into this palace, until the morning when Liu Shen and I walked out of this palace gate, the chamberlains and palace people in this palace, when they saw us coming from afar, only bowed and bent down, only retreated to the sides, and only knelt down to salute when we approached.
But now! Now, no one has ordered them, watching Liu Shen and I ride back to the palace from a distance, within the field of vision, all the chamberlains and palace people automatically retreated to the sides, lying on the ground in panic, not daring to come out, not daring to raise their heads!
As far as the eye can see, there are people prostrate on the ground everywhere!
Liu Shen, like me, was stunned by this scene.
He glanced at me, and couldn't hide the excitement and shock in his heart!
When his father was alive, all the people in the palace, from the queen to the servants, were like this! At that time, the people in the palace saw the old Han king coming from a distance, and they all knelt on the ground collectively like this to show respectful greeting!
Since Liu Shen fled to Yunzhou and claimed to be the king, he has never asked the people around him to show him absolute submission in such an equal way.
This is their own voluntariness!
The news of the decisive battle on the school field outside had spread to the palace quickly.
They are afraid of you! They're completely scared of you!
All the palace attendants and palace people are terrified by you!
They fear your invincibility and the support they have just gained from your army, and they dare not offend you and the king to whom you support your allegiance!
They felt the need to express further absolute loyalty to Liu Shen and further absolute respect to me!
From their sudden change of posture, Liu Shen tasted the sense of power of the Ninety-Five Venerable for the first time!
It turns out that the emperor of the central dynasty that unifies the world feels like this!
It turns out that with your strong military support, the power of the monarch can be strengthened to this extent!
The blood in Liu Shen's whole body was boiling!
On the one hand, he felt that his blood was boiling, and on the other hand, a little sour jealousy of you also rose in his heart.
However, he controlled his little jealousy very well, and was completely invisible, and did not let anyone notice it.
My husband and wife stood at the door of the palace and got used to the sudden change that had just taken place.
Then, Liu Shen calmly accepted this new etiquette spontaneously formed by the people in the palace.
He turned his face radiantly, gave me a tender and sweet smile, and then, with me, gently urged his mount and walked into the gate of the palace.

You're done with a whole morning of intense fighting and back to your game.
You dismount and come left and right to take the moonlight.
Moonlight was sweating profusely, and her long white mane was so wet that it stuck to her skin one by one.
Wu Shun followed you closely behind, not leaving an inch.
You and Wu Shun returned to the room together.
Guan Wenliang and Xie Shuangcheng immediately led the guards to help you take off your armor, pour hot water to wipe your body, and change your homely clothes.
You, like the moonshine, are already sweating through heavy armor.
After changing into clean and comfortable underwear, you lie on your back in the chair.
Guan Wenliang brought over the warm tea, you took the teacup, your hands trembled a little, and the teacup lid made a slight trembling sound on your hand.
Guan Wenliang helped you lift the lid of the teacup, and you picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Wu Shun silently took out the jade gourd from his body and poured out all the mixed yuan pills inside.
There are ten more.
He looks at you. You nod your head in agreement.
Guan Wenliang came over to serve you and sent down these ten mixed yuan pills with water.
Wu Shun turned the jade gourd upside down, put it in the palm of his hand and patted it. He said, "No." It's all gone. ”
When you and Wu Shun left Qingchuan, the two gourd pills we brought with us have all been used up.
When you returned to Linshui after entering the grassland for the second time, you used up all the pills in the gourd that Wu Shun brought, and now, all the pills in the second gourd have also been used up.
Wu Shun asked, "Do you want to send someone to Qingchuan?" ”
You shake your head. You say, "No." Master already knows. The people from Qingchuan have already set off to descend the mountain. ”
You stretch out your hand, and Wu Shun hands you the jade gourd that is already empty.
You clenched the jade gourd tightly in the palm of your hand and closed your eyes.
You know very well that every day you live and every victory you have achieved is the result of the full effort and support of your master.
Your heart is filled with deep gratitude to your teacher.
You secretly swore again that you must complete your mission and live up to the trust and high expectations of your teacher.
