Chapter 326: The Day of Selection
"The first time I saw a horse with horns. Wei Yingnan looked at the single horn on the head of the sun-riding horse and said in surprise.
King Jiang smiled and said, "Hehe...... In fact, the horns on this head are a little strange. Otherwise, it is no different from a normal horse. ”
"How strong is this horse's legs?" Wei Yingnan continued.
"You can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in a night. King Jiang replied truthfully.
"Oh, it's the same speed as the other Maximas. Hearing King Jiang's explanation, Wei Yingnan's eyes showed a little loss, and his interest was greatly reduced, but he was still a little unwilling, and continued to ask: "However, this son heard that riding on a sun horse can step on flames, fly in the sky, and take off thousands of miles in one day. Is this also a rumor?"
......Hearing this, King Jiang looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it to Wei Yingnan for a while, so he had to say: "Hey, about riding the sun and flying on the fire, it is actually a legend of our Jiang country. As for whether it is true or not, the widow does not know. ”
King Jiang eased his breath and continued to explain: "Legend has it that before our Jiang clan was founded, our ancestors once drove the 'Sun Flame Horse', flew the horse, conquered the continent, and defeated many clans. Legend has it that the Sun Horse can step on flames, and it also has wings and flies in the sky, just like the red sun, so it is called the 'Sun Horse'. Later, when our Jiang clan was founded, we took the 'Sun Burning Horse' as a totem. After the war stopped, Jiang returned to peace and tranquility, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and this 'riding the sun and burning horse' lost its usefulness and gradually degenerated, and after more than 900 years, it became what it is today. ”
King Jiang looked at the two sun-ridden horses in the main hall, and said in a very regretful tone, "Now that I think about it, I feel very sorry." ”
After listening to Jiang Wang's explanation, Wei Yingnan also felt deeply regretful, shook his head, and said: "It's a pity!
After sighing, Wei Yingnan also lost interest in riding the Sun Flame Horse. Now the Sun Flame Horse has just become a thousand-mile horse running on the ground, and there are many thousand-mile horses like this in the Great Wei Kingdom, so Wei Yingnan naturally can't be interested.
So, King Jiang ordered the guards to take the two sun-ridden horses back to the stable.
Yang Ming sat in the banquet room, looking at the two sun-ridden horses from a distance, and when he left the main hall, one of the horses actually shed tears.
"Whew, the horse is actually crying! Yes, are you sad when you think of the glory of your ancestors hundreds of years ago? How great are your ancestors, stepping on fire and flying, galloping the sky, and as a 'descendant', you can only be trapped in the stable, reduced to a vulgar thing, how sad!" Thinking of the state of mind of the horse riding the sun, Yang Ming suddenly felt empathy, isn't he the same?
Zu Ze once said that a thousand years ago, his family was a very powerful clan on the mainland, and it was extremely brilliant, but once it was defeated, it declined, and even his descendants were reduced to civilians.
The glory of our ancestors is now going to be revitalized by the people of my generation!
Yang Ming thought so in his heart, perhaps feeling the encouragement of the young man's eyes, the tearful sun horse suddenly looked at Yang Ming, looking at each other, after a while, the horse turned around, walked out of the hall, and then looked up to the sky and roared, and the moving horse neighed through the night sky!
Everyone in the main hall was taken aback.
"Phew, the cry of this sun-ridden horse is really loud. After someone sighed, the crowd stopped paying attention and continued to drink and have fun.
Only Yang Ming understood, he looked at the direction of the departure of the Sun Flame Horse, nodded, and said, "Yes, you are not willing to be mediocre, and you are eager to take off again!"
......
It was getting late and late, and the banquet finally came to an end, and the prince of Wei was already drunk, so King Jiang ended the state banquet and sent a chariot to send Wei Yingnan back to the post house to rest.
Before leaving, King Jiang didn't forget to ask: "Excuse me, Prince of Wei, when will the 'Heavenly Selection' selection be held in Jiang Kingdom?"
Wei Yingnan's face turned crimson, smiled, and then replied: "My son has almost forgotten about this matter, so let's set it the day after tomorrow." The day after tomorrow, in your Jiang Kingdom's Martial Arts Academy, a 'Heavenly Selection' selection will be held. ”
"Okay, the widow will send an order to the Jiang Guo students and let them get ready. Jiang Wang smiled with satisfaction.
After hearing the news, all the students present were immediately excited, and the day after tomorrow, the "natural selection" selection finally came.
"Great, after two years of waiting, this day has finally arrived. Yang Ming clenched his fists, full of emotion and confidence!
Wei Yingnan rode in a chariot and left the palace.
In the chariot, the lion lord lay at his feet obediently, looking very docile, and let Wei Yingnan stroke his hair. Xun Yang sat respectfully opposite, and seeing that he had already left the palace, Xun Yang asked, "Childe, what do you think of Jiang Guo?"
Wei Yingnan didn't rush to express his position, but asked, "Xun Yang, you tell me your opinion first." ”
"Yes," Xun Yang took the order, and then said: "Although Jiang Guo does not know how to raise and is unwilling to cooperate with our Great Wei State, it is also understandable. After all, Jiang Guo is a small country, and the idea of a small country is usually to seek self-preservation and stability. Moreover, the expansion of the army does seem to be a rumor. ”
Listening to Xun Yang's words, Wei Yingnan said coldly: "According to your meaning, Jiang Guo is not a threat. ”
Xun Yang nodded and replied, "Indeed, how can an old horse in a stable threaten the lion of our Great Wei!"
Wei Yingnan looked at Xun Yang with a confident face, he didn't deny it, nor did he nod in agreement, Wei Yingnan just said indifferently: "For now, I haven't seen any dissenting intentions of Jiang Guo for the time being, and after the selection of 'Heavenly Selection', let's make a conclusion." ”
After speaking, Wei Yingnan closed his eyes, the drunkenness had spread to his face, and his consciousness gradually became a little drowsy.
......
On the second day, Wei Yingnan, accompanied by King Jiang, inspected Jiang Guo's city guards on the school grounds. However, the night before, King Jiang had secretly ordered Dazai Chen Ping to let the city guards deliberately behave mediocrely, not to show their sharp momentum, which is the so-called sword hidden edge.
Therefore, the parade on the second day was very boring and boring, and the soldiers behaved very ordinary, just simply riding horses and shooting arrows, and setting up in formation. After reading it, Wei Yingnan's face gradually showed a dull tiredness, there was originally an army drill in the afternoon, but Wei Yingnan politely refused. In the afternoon, he rode along the streets of Chaohua County to see the prosperity of the city.
It seems that shopping is even more interesting!
After a day of shopping, Wei Yingnan was very tired, and he didn't have much interest in Jiang Guo, and he was also looking forward to the "Heavenly Selection" selection ending soon, so that he could go back to Wei.
......
On the third day, Jiang Guo Xiuwu Academy,
At the beginning of the day, at the foot of Asahi Mountain, there was a huge bluestone martial arts training ground, about dozens of teenagers and girls, wearing standard Jiang Guoyuan uniforms, standing in a military posture, these students were all under the age of 20, and they were more confident in their own strength, and wanted to try the "natural selection" selection.
In the martial arts training ground, there is a huge ancient bell standing in front of the student queue, the ancient bell is two meters high, the outside is wrapped with golden yellow lines, cumbersome, obscure, simple, awe-inspiring, the center of the front is inlaid with dozens of pitch-black ores of different shapes, from bottom to top, ten water balls in shape, ten stars in shape, ten moon shapes, and finally ten sun shapes. This kind of ore is called Yaoshi, which is extremely sensitive to Wu Yao, and can test the level of cultivators, so it is also very rare, it is said that this ancient bell is more than 900 years ago, when the Jiang Kingdom was founded, the treasure given by the Great Zhou Dynasty, the value of which goes without saying.
