Chapter 493: Ability Competition
If it was in the past, Zhao Jun would definitely seize this opportunity without hesitation, but now he no longer needs to struggle for life, although he is not a capable person, but his life in the Jiayuan base is better than many capable people, as long as he stays in the base and enjoys the protection of the base, he will basically not encounter any danger, and he has just had a child, and he is very satisfied with his current life.
Wang Xiang's meaning he understood, if the hunting team obtained another "golden egg", then Wang Xiang would use a multicolored spar with ordinary innate ability for testing, once successful, this multicolored spar with strong innate ability would definitely be used by his closest people, and naturally it would not be his turn.
Zhao Jun's wife was an ordinary clerk before the end of the world, and she has been working as a full-time mother at home since Zhao Jun got a stable and well-paid job at the Jiayuan base.
Just ready for the evening's meal, Zhang Qiaoqiao sat on the sofa and watched an old movie, because of Zhao Jun's status in the base, there was water and electricity supply in their house, almost no different from before the end of the world.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Qiaoqiao hurriedly got up, and saw that it was Zhao Jun who came back, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You're back, what's your New Year's resolution?"
"Wang Shao is quite satisfied." Zhao Jun replied absentmindedly.
"That's good." Zhang Qiaoqiao looked very happy, "Today I made your favorite salt-and-pepper octopus, which is the mutated octopus whiskers issued by the base last time." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Jun still looked absent-minded, Zhang Qiaoqiao finally noticed his strangeness, and said with concern: "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment and told Wang Xiang about finding him, and Zhang Qiaoqiao also fell silent after listening to it. After a while. whispered, "Isn't it good for us to be like this?" As long as you stay in the base, you don't have to worry about the attacks of zombies and mutant creatures, and you don't have to worry about food, so what does it matter if you can become an capable person or not. ”
"But the world is different now, and without strong strength, there is no guarantee at all." Zhao Jun took a deep breath and said: "Do you remember when we first came here, Zhao Sihai sent someone to attract a zombie, just because there were many dead and injured in that zombie base, if we didn't hide in the basement warehouse in advance, I'm afraid it would have been the same fate." ”
"Isn't there a guard at the base, they will keep us safe." Zhang Qiaoqiao didn't want Zhao Jun to take risks. She is very happy with her current life.
Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "The escort team can't guarantee the safety of everyone, especially ordinary people like us, maybe they don't need to target us at all, and the aftermath of the battle between the capable can easily destroy us." ”
He remembered that the Wolf Warriors and Sun Weijun came to the Jiayuan base, and the aftermath of the battle at that time also caused a lot of casualties to the ordinary people in the base.
"And this multicolored spar prepared by Wang Shao has a very powerful innate ability, as long as I succeed, I can become a powerful super-ability, and I can hunt mutated creatures in the future, so that you and your children can also become capable people."
Zhang Qiaoqiao could hear Zhao Jun's desire for power, shook his head and said, "I don't care if I can become a capable person, I just hope that our family can be safe." ”
"I see." Zhao Jun was silent for a moment, and said softly, "Let's eat first." ”
Wang Xiang put away the colorful spar and returned to Datang. In two days, it will be a big court meeting, and many envoys from Fanbang have come to Chang'an one after another. Naturally, he had to help with the reception.
This year's Great Dynasty Meeting is different from previous years, many small states in the Turkic and Western Regions have been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, so those who come to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting are the relatively large Fan States around the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Persia, Dashi, and many distant states that Wang Xiang is not familiar with have also sent envoys to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting.
In the first war with the Turks, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty was greatly enhanced, and many states took the opportunity of this court meeting to come to understand the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
This time, the envoys sent by Fanbang are also different from previous years, they are all accompanied by capable people, not only those who are capable in Datang, but also capable people all over the world.
Everyone realized that the future war would be a war between the capable, and that the role of ordinary soldiers was minimal, so everyone wanted to take this opportunity to show the strength of their country and understand the strength of their opponents.
"The Contest of the Ables?"
As soon as Wang Xiang entered the palace, he was very surprised when he heard Li Er mention the Ability Competition.
Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, the intention of the Keju competition held at the Great Dynasty Meeting in previous years was the same, but this year, everyone proposed to hold the Ability Competition, and I should approve this matter." ”
"How does the Contest of the Ables work?" Wang Xiang asked curiously.
"After everyone's deliberation, it was unanimously decided that each side would send three capable people, and they would come to the stage for a competition.
Seeing Li Er's calm appearance, Wang Xiang smiled slightly: "With King Zhao and General Yuwen, no matter how powerful the ability is, I am afraid that it is not their opponent." ”
Li Er laughed when he heard this: "Having said that, we can't be careless, besides, each side has to produce three people, and I hope that the top three in the Ability Contest will belong to our Datang!" ”
Wang Xiang doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the participants, Li Er's subordinates are more capable people, and there are also many super capable people, and Li Er asked Wang Xiang to be responsible for the arrangement and arrangement of the court meeting.
The Great Dynasty Meeting was still held in the Lin De Palace, and after Li Er's order, Wang Xiang immediately took people to the Lin De Palace, as in previous years, the first two days of the Great Dynasty Meeting were to eat and drink in the palace, and the last three days were the time for the Ability Competition.
In order to reflect the wealth and power of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the general delicacies, Wang Xiang also prepared a wealth of delicacies made by mutant creatures, most of which were brought from the end of the world, and some were hunted back by Li Er.
The martial arts arena outside the Lin De Hall was used as a juju venue last year, and Wang Xiang asked people to build a wide and sturdy ring in the middle of the martial arts arena, which was the venue for the ability competition.
Wang Xiang doesn't need to do these things himself, and someone will naturally do it after he explains it.
After finishing the affairs of the palace, Wang Xiang went out of the palace and returned to the house, and just returned to the house when he saw a carriage parked outside the door, and after entering the door, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the hall, which was Matsudaira Ichiro.
Matsudaira Ichiro saw Wang Xiang coming back and hurriedly got up to greet him, he had been here for a while, and he had been waiting here since he heard Wushun say that Wang Xiang had entered the palace.
Wang Xiang was also a little surprised when he saw Matsudaira Ichiro, thinking that the court would be even relieved, last year it was Matsudaira Ichiro who represented Fuso to envoy the Tang Dynasty to participate in the court meeting, but I don't know why he came to his house.
