Chapter 345: Hunting
The evaluators sent to the various vassal states for the "natural selection" selection have returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty one after another, and the list of students who have obtained the qualification for the "natural selection" examination will be completely sorted out according to the four territories of east, south, west, and north, and then submitted to the Great Zhou Emperor. At this point, the "natural selection" selection on the entire continent officially ended.
According to the summary data collected from the lists collected from various countries, a total of 12,793 students in the Eastern Territory passed the primary selection and obtained the qualification for the "Heavenly Selection" examination, of which 3,678 were students from the Wei State, 2,794 were from the Zhao State, and 1,879 were from the Liang State.
And in the next "Heavenly Selection" exam, one hundred and fifty people will be selected from the twelve thousand seven hundred and ninety-three selected students to enter the Holy Capital "Muguang" to cultivate, which can be described as one in a hundred. And how could these students who were successfully selected not be selected from among the various vassal states? One out of a hundred miles was chosen one out of ten thousand, and this was the "natural selection" examination!
After the selection of "natural selection" was over, the students of various vassal states began the road of "catching up with the exam", which was a long journey of thousands of miles, trekking through mountains and rivers. At the same time, the killers of various countries are also beginning to boil their blood, sharpening their knives and guns, and preparing to do a big job. According to the news from the underworld, the bounty for killing a student is as high as 10,000 taels of gold, and the lowest is 5,000 taels.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and they will go forward and succeed! 10,000 taels of gold, after doing this vote, it is a broken leg and a broken arm, and I will not worry about it for the rest of my life! Give it a go, the beauty of the golden house, there is everything.
The viciousness of the killers' greed and bloodthirstiness burned to the extreme, and the road of the "natural selection" exam became a grand festival for the killers to hunt. Not only killers, the temptation of 10,000 taels of gold, any greedy person will be tempted, eager to try, want to fight hard, robbers, thieves, and even those who keep to themselves, for money, will also become a cruel executioner.
It is said that one year the students who took the "natural selection" examination were actually poisoned and killed by a roadside tea stall shopkeeper! A dignified national soldier who was selected one out of a hundred miles after the "natural selection" was poisoned to death by an ordinary tea shopkeeper. At first, this sounds like a joke, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel very scary, even the shops in the roadside tea shops have murderous intentions towards the students who are rushing to take the exam, which shows that the road is difficult and dangerous, and you can't be careless for a moment. You must be very careful when drinking, eating, and sleeping, and it is possible that while you are asleep, the innkeeper will also reach out to you with a knife.
In short, when the students from all over the world embarked on the journey to catch the exam, the hunt for the killers also began. The territory of the four directions has become a hunting ground, the killers and thieves are the hunters, and the students of various countries are the prey, this hunt, whether the hunter kills the prey, or the prey kills back, bites the hunter to death, life and death, the killing has begun!
......
Wei State, the national capital "Anyi"
After Wei Yingnan left Jiang State, he rushed to Zhao State day and night. and Zhao Hao, the son of Zhao State, to negotiate about the killing of Xue Huai, the general of Wei Zhenyuan.
Wei Yingnan firmly denied that Xue Huai was a spy and that Wei had an attempt to spy on Zhao's intelligence, and he insisted that Wei sent troops to escort the evaluators of the Great Zhou Dynasty only to assist the evaluators in the "natural selection" selection, and there was absolutely no dissent.
The Zhao State insisted that Xue Huai was a spy, and he still gave Wei the instructions to listen to the military secrets of the Zhao State. The two countries insisted on their own words, did not give in to each other, and the negotiations once reached a stalemate, as Yan Hao guessed, Wei and Zhao both blamed each other on the table, just like quarrels, both scolded each other. In the end, Xue Huai's death ended hastily because the person was dead and there was no proof of death.
In the end, Wei Yingnan left Zhao with the rest of the army, and Zhao didn't want to continue to make trouble, after all, the most important thing at the moment was the "natural selection" exam, and the two countries, like shrews on the street, scolded each other, and when they were tired, they went home separately.
Wei Yingnan did not take advantage of Zhao State, and he also lost a military general in vain, and it was stealing chickens and rice. Wei Yingnan was indignant in his heart and returned to the Wei State.
Inside the carriage, Wei Yingnan had been silent, his face gloomy, like a dark cloudy sky. Lion was lying beside him, like a docile puppy, licking his fingers, perhaps trying to comfort his master. And Xun Yang on the side looked nervous, and he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Wei Yingnan's gloomy expression would suddenly burst into "thunder", and if he was hit by a thunderstorm, he would die.
Wei Yingnan's carriage came to the city of "Anyi", the capital of Wei, and was about to enter the city, when suddenly, a report came from outside the carriage.
The cavalry who played the report came to the carriage and shouted: "Enlightened son, the lord of the public loss plate has a fold to present." ”
Xun Yang was unhappy because Wei Yingnan was in a bad mood, so he scolded and said: "Gongzi is in a bad mood now, and he doesn't want to be a director, so let the public lose game play again another day." ”
At this time, Wei Yingnan spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, bring the fold." ”
Hearing this, Xun Yang immediately took the fold from the cavalry, and then handed it to Wei Yingnan, Wei Yingnan took the fold, unfolded it, and after a while, the corner of Wei Yingnan's mouth showed a soothing smile, and said, "Hehe...... The public loser said that something new had been developed and wanted me to take a look. ”
Hearing the news, Xun Yang immediately raised his hand and said, "Oh, this is good news." Presumably it is the public losing plate that has created some new weapons, Childe, you might as well go to the 'Foundry' to have a look, just to relax. ”
Wei Yingnan nodded, anyway, he was in an irritable mood, so let's go to the "foundry" to have a look.
After seeing Wei Yingnan nodding, Xun Yang immediately ordered the carriage to turn around and go to the "foundry". Located on the outskirts of the national capital "Anyi", the "Foundry Workshop" was built by order of King Wei himself ten years ago and was specially used for casting weapons.
The scale of the "foundry" is very large, like a small city, there are 30,000 or 50,000 people living in it will not be crowded, and there are military guards stationed outside the "foundry", which is heavily guarded, and there are soldiers patrolling day and night.
After the completion of the "foundry", the king of Wei handed over the public loss plate here, money, copper and iron, manpower, and armor iron ore, etc., a large amount of investment here, so that the public loss plate can be fully built weapons, it is said that the "foundry" costs millions of taels of silver in the Wei treasury every year, accounting for about one-fifth of the annual treasury expenditure of the Wei state.
Wei Yingnan's carriage came to the "foundry", and the soldiers guarding saw that it was Gongzi's carriage, and hurriedly let it go, and quickly ran to report to the public loser.
"Childe, Lord Gong will come to pick up the driver immediately, please wait for a while. The general of the guard said.
Hearing this, Wei Yingnan smiled slightly, and said: "Forget it, this son guesses that the public loss plate must be in the 'refining room', wait for him to put down his work, and then run to meet me, it is estimated that it will be dark, or this son should go to him." ”
Wei Yingnan knows the public loss game very well, he is a complete workaholic, once he buries himself in research, even if the king of heaven is coming, he will not look up.
Wei Yingnan is very tolerant of public losses, and even avoids all red tape and lets him do whatever he wants. It can be seen that Wei Yingnan attaches great importance to the public losing handicap.
Soon, Wei Yingnan, under the leadership of the guards, came to the "refining room", which is a place for the public to study weapons, every time Wei Yingnan came here, the public loss plate would bring him different degrees of surprises, and he saw all kinds of new weapons.
"Gong loses, I hope this time, you don't let me down. Because, I'm in a bad mood right now. ”
Wei Yingnan's eyes were half-closed, and with a feeling of anticipation, he slowly walked into the "refining room".
