Chapter 58: Preparation
"After entering the mountain, it is equivalent to signing a life and death certificate, and each mountain has a master to teach martial arts and strategies. Whether or not you can come out alive depends on the individual. Walking from Worm Mountain to Snake Mountain, it is about ten into one, and from Snake Mountain to Eagle Mountain, about twenty into one. And the last person who can come out of Eagle Mountain is only one person every year. β
Why is it staggering: "Those who didn't come out are dead?" β
"Either die or give up, and those who give up can also serve in the army, and it is difficult to be promoted."
"I didn't expect her to be so powerful!" Even if you haven't experienced it yourself, you've read a lot of messy online novels, and this killer-like cultivation method makes people shudder just thinking about it. Usually such protagonists in the story are bitter and hateful ice cube faces, and Eagle Hui can often greet each other with a smile, which is really rare.
Meng Ning: "We are in the academy, no matter how hard we work, we will only suffer some physical hardship, at least no one will force us with a knife." But she can't live if she doesn't work hard, and when there is only one way to go, can she have the heart to share it with others? Can such a person still be kind to others? β
He lamented: "In this way, Helan Qin is afraid that he is going to sing a one-man show." It's pitiful, I'll prepare first, and wait to comfort him. β
Meng Ning glanced at her jet-black hair and shook her head helplessly: "You comfort him?" Don't be me comforting you. β
Early in the morning, the palace gate that has always been only accessible to hundreds of officials was opened, and hundreds of officials in the court and the masters from all over the country who entered the re-examination entered the palace one after another, accompanied by officials from all over the country. The high platform of the competition, the stands of the emperor and hundreds of officials are all properly arranged, and their own chamberlains and others arrange for everyone to sit in turn. The Wang family is the master of this place, arranged in the most noble position in the north, directly opposite is the Helan clan, the winner of the last time, the horse clan in the east, the Eagle clan in the west, and the others are arranged according to the official position, the higher the official position, the closer to the emperor's dragon chair.
Although there are many people, they are busy but not chaotic.
There was no court today, Wang Jun was able to rest for a while, and when the hour was approaching, he put on a solemn dragon robe and prepared to attend under the service of the internal attendants and others.
The chamberlain couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, the extra one from Tianze Academy...... Do you have anything to prepare? β
Wang Jun frowned, obviously feeling that this matter was a little troublesome, and he kept dragging it out and not solving it, also because there was no good solution to this matter. If it's a well-tempered person who is easy to fiddle with, it's okay, but he is unconscious, and Wang Jun has been avoiding her, which also means to dry her.
"No, you don't."
The chamberlain stopped talking, took a step back, and signaled that he was ready to go out. Wang Jun strode away, the golden dragon embroidered on the vermilion robe was pierced by the sunlight at the moment he stepped out of the door, and the inner attendant couldn't help but squint his eyes, this is the emperor's majesty!
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
As the shrill voice of the chamberlain shouted this sentence, the hundred officials stood up one after another, facing the direction of the dragon. When Wang Jun walked down from it and sat on the dragon chair, all the officials knelt down and bowed. There are also some people who don't kneel, the Eagle family, the Ma family, and the Helan family, all of whom bend down and bow their heads in greeting.
The Helan clan did not send their children to compete this year, probably thinking that Helan Qin had already won once, and he should leave some opportunities for others, so as to avoid the fatigue of running around. He alone also represents the Helan people.
Because there are the least number of people on his side, the seats of the other three examiners are also arranged here, and the four of them are lined up, staring at them with eight eyes, and it is difficult to implement even if someone has any bad thoughts. If anyone wants to take this opportunity to declare a personal vendetta, the examiner will not sit idly by.
Meng Ning deliberately chose a location close to the Eagle Clan, so that the Eagle could communicate with him. was forced to bow down, He Lai was very angry, and stared at Meng Ning hatefully: "You said that this person is my father, why don't you even look at me!" β
Meng Ning: "There are many people, and Your Majesty also has Your Majesty's concerns. β
"You've been dragging me for more than a month, and if you don't give me an explanation after today, it's okay if this father doesn't recognize it!"
Meng Ning hurriedly reassured: "No matter what Your Majesty does, I will definitely ask you for a clear understanding." β
At the end of the ceremony, everyone took their seats. Meng Ning's grandfather, Meng Xiangye, stood up and spoke officially, expressing the court's thirst for talent and friendship with the other three families. In the long clichΓ©, Wang Qi's brothers looked at each other with wandering eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at He Lai. The position of Meng Ning was in front, and he leaned sideways, just separating the eyes of several people.
Finally, before He Lai dozed off, Meng Xiang said, "Zhongzhou big test, start!" β
When the words fell, the atmosphere in the field changed greatly, and the people who were waiting for the fight to start suddenly came to their senses.
The four sergeants stepped forward in turn, each carrying a bamboo tube on a tray, and then placed it on the table before the main examination. Four bamboo tubes, each with four name tags, are the sixteen people who participated in the competition today. The Helan family was vacant, and one more person was elected yesterday to make up the number.
Several examiners were polite, and Wang Yi, the oldest Marquis of Ningyuan, took the lead in pulling out one, followed by Hong Bin of Tianze Academy, and the two name tags were placed on a tray and handed to the officials of the Ministry of Rites next to him. The officer hung the name tag on the prepared shelf behind him and read both names aloud at the same time.
"The first scene, Yangzhou Wang Road, Tianze Academy Chu returned."
The two who were called by name walked up to the high platform, first saluted Wang Jun, and then hugged their opponents.
He Lai naturally hoped that Chu would win, and asked Meng Ning worriedly: "Is this person powerful?" β
Meng Ning was full of confidence: "I saw this person play against people yesterday, and the fourth junior brother will definitely win." β
The three examiners were originally paying attention to the two people on the high platform, Helan Qin picked up the bamboo tube and handed it to Commander Xiao, and said with a smile: "It's better for us to select the following two first, so that those two people can be prepared." β
Hong Bin glanced at it and vaguely guessed that he had an arrangement, so he didn't make a sound. Xiao Shan went to Helan Bamboo House to eat and drink, and there was no reason to refute his face for such a trivial matter. Immediately, he also pulled out one from the bamboo tube in front of him.
Helan Qin also took out one, put two in a tray, and sent it to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
This was not in line with the rules of previous years, and he didn't ask much. Hung up directly and read: "Next, where will Tianze Academy come from, Luoling Sun Qi prepares." β
As soon as this move came out, most ordinary people didn't react, only Ying Xuan and Meng Ning knew that this was the preparation time that Helan Qin set aside for the two.
Meng Ning immediately temporarily crammed his feet and explained Sun Qi's several killing moves and how to crack it. When it came to the end, He Lai couldn't help but be nervous, and his hands were a little shaky.
Ying Xuan smiled faintly, turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Go find an attendant and ask for some ice, ask for more, such a hot day, the emperor and all the adults are afraid that it will be hot." β
The guard nodded in agreement and turned to do it.
Where did he come from: "Sister, do you really want to cheat?" She glanced up, except for Helan Qin, the other three of the four examiners looked selfless. If you can sit there, there must be a level, can't you see it?
Ying Yu is full of confidence: "Don't worry, it just so happened that I watched him compete with others yesterday, and I still remember where he was injured, and I will only beat him with old injuries later, and I promise that it will not arouse suspicion!" β
Where......
This woman is not only insidious, but also insidious.
