Chapter 212: Calmly Responding
If Ban Ling wants to transfer all the remaining female soldiers out of the battalion, put on makeup and blend into the people, disperse to several gates in the capital, monitor the suspicious people who enter and leave the city every day, and at the same time listen to whether there are any rumors unfavorable to Yanling.
And Sima Hongyan himself needs to concentrate on participating in the competition in the next two days. Everything else will be done after the game.
After talking until late at night, Yan Hong said goodbye, and all five daughters slept in Sima Hongyan's bedroom again.
The next day, Sima Hongyan felt that most of the injuries on her body were healed, Zhong Liying was not at ease, and gave her another medicine, so she set off to go to the school martial arts field first. The other sisters arranged according to their plans, Xiao Hongying went to the military camp to transfer troops, and later went to the school martial arts field to meet Sima Hongyan.
Sima Hongyan came to the school martial arts field alone, and players from all over the world also entered the arena one after another. Sima Hongyan has virtually become the backbone of Yanling racers, because yesterday Sima Hongyan left for no reason, Yanling's racers were so happy to see Sima Hongyan that they all came up to greet her warmly, asking where she went yesterday.
Sima Hongyan made up a reason and apologized to everyone for not saying goodbye yesterday. When Li Siyu and Fan Liangyi came over, both of them were a little embarrassed on their faces, Li Siyu smiled awkwardly and arched his hand, and said, "Miss Sima, hello!" ”。 And Fan Liangyi's face was pale, and he only bowed his hand, but did not speak.
Sima Hongyan beckoned the two of them aside, and said with a smile: "The two of you worked hard yesterday. Especially to Fan Gongzi, I want to say sorry, I couldn't cheer for your game yesterday because I left for something, please forgive me. ”
Fan Liangyi was stunned for a moment, his face flushed slightly, and said: "I embarrassed Yanling yesterday, Miss Sima don't make fun of me!" ”
Sima Hongyan said: "Where is Fan Gongzi?" You are ordered to take on heavy responsibilities bravely, I thank you too late, how dare you make fun of it? If Fan Gongzi you mean the loss of the game, then don't take it to heart. I never judge heroes by success or failure, I have seen Fan Gongzi's talent, and I will never change my opinion because of a game. Besides, Fan Gongzi, you didn't lose because your skills were inferior, you were just too nervous, I'm afraid you didn't even play half of your level yesterday, right? ”
Fan Liangyi didn't expect that Sima Hongyan didn't watch the game yesterday, and he actually knew the general situation of the game. And Sima Hongyan was not wrong, Fan Liangyi was indeed a little nervous yesterday. After all, it was the first time to appear in such an important competition, and it was related to national interests, and the nervousness in my heart at that time caused my mind to be almost blank.
Sima Hongyan also said: "Yesterday was a valuable experience, and I believe that through this test, Fan Gongzi will not be in the same situation as yesterday when he plays again." ”
Fan Liangyi was very moved in his heart, and said with another salute: "Miss Sima can be so considerate, I am really grateful." Being as tolerant as Miss Sima makes me ashamed of myself and ashamed! ”
Sima Hongyan smiled at Li Siyu and Fan Liangyi, and said: "Let's not mention the past, now we have an advantage, as long as we win two more games in the next four games, we can ensure that Yanling wins the final victory of the competition." And I want to participate in three of these four events, and I still need your support and help in these two days, you have to cheer for me! ”
Li Siyu and Fan Liangyi looked at each other and smiled, and said: "I will do my best to cheer for the girl, and I also wish Miss Sima a victory!" ”
Seeing off the two of them, Sima Hongyan sat down, and began to recall the information in the Purple Butterfly Intelligence in his mind, thinking about what strategic methods should be used in today's "debate" word competition. If you can win the first game today, it will definitely put pressure on other countries, and the chances of winning the next game will be greatly improved.
In addition to "arguing, leading, and judging", the remaining item is "business". And this one happened to be Fan Liangyi's battle, Sima Hongyan didn't know if Fan Liangyi could be inspired after yesterday's defeat, she hoped that today's words to Fan Liangyi would make him put aside his worries and face it calmly.
Today's two games are "debate" and "business", if you can win both battles today, Yanling's victory is set, tomorrow's game will become insignificant.
And there is still no referee in today's "debate" game.
The rules of the competition are that the players of the five countries will sit in a circle face to face after entering the field, and the assistants of the five countries will put the uniform size of the cobblestones representing the players of the five countries into a sealed cloth bag, and from the first person to reach into the bag to draw the cobblestone, and the color of the cobblestone selected will represent who the opponent of the round is.
The topic of the debate has already been written on countless scrolls, which will be hung in the center of the playing field, and the power to choose the topic is in the hands of the chosen opponent.
Each reel has a number at the bottom of it, and whichever player is selected can choose the topic that the two will be debating, and the two will take turns arguing around the topic. Since it is a debate, there must be two sides, and the person who draws the stone in each game defaults to the positive side, and the opponent who is drawn is the negative side by default.
There is no limit to the time of each round of debate, until one side is speechless or directly concedes.
At the beginning, Sima Hongyan was very dissatisfied with the rules of this competition, and she once advised Emperor Yanzhen: If the opponent is obviously out of words, but he still wants to use strong words and nonsense and refuse to admit defeat, then what should I do? Could it be that the two are still tied?
At that time, Emperor Yanzhen was very strange why Sima Hongyan had such thoughts, and he replied that Sima Hongyan was debating about the word "reason", if he couldn't tell the truth, how could he not admit defeat? As for the nonsense and not admitting defeat, Emperor Yanzhen laughed it off, feeling that such a thing would not happen at all.
After listening to Emperor Yanzhen's explanation, Sima Hongyan also secretly complained that Emperor Yanzhen was pedantic, and later talked to Shi Jinyan, Shi Jinyan smiled and explained to Sima Hongyan: "Everyone in the world has their own principles in their hearts, but these principles will not deviate from the righteous path of the world, and the people who can be selected to participate in the Five Nations Competition must be well-known righteous people, and the most important thing in their lives is their reputation. ”
Sima Hongyan retorted: "That's not good, if there is really a brazen guy, wouldn't it be difficult?" ”
Shi Jinyan said: "Are you all decorations when you are the minister of the five countries?" Although there is no referee in the game, in fact, the representatives of the ministers of the five countries are potential referees, and if there is really a competitor from any country who is open and unreasonable, the ministers of the other four countries cannot agree. ”
After listening to Shi Jinyan's explanation, Sima Hongyan understood a little, and it seemed that he had put the inferior thoughts of his previous life on these ancients. The ancients valued reputation, and the more famous people were, the more they cherished their feathers. Being ruined may not be a big deal in a previous life, but in the hearts of the ancients, it didn't even mean to live.
It doesn't matter if it's pedantic, or if it's about faithfulness! In the concept of the ancients, the words spoken are water poured on the ground, and there is no possibility of taking it back, so what a gentleman says and does must not lose his identity.
This is not a coercion of the laws of the state, but a deep-seated thought in everyone's heart. Reading the books of the sages since childhood, this concept is the so-called right way in the world!
This kind of thing is the most common thing in an individual, but in a major national matter, it is not the case at all. On the contrary, there will often be backlash and confrontation between countries. At the end of the day, whatever the winner says is the truth, and the loser doesn't care what you say.
Sima Hongyan felt incredible, and it was incomprehensible. These are obviously two very contradictory truths, but they have continued for hundreds of years in this ancient world and have never changed.
This reminded Sima Hongyan of a film and television drama he had watched, and he didn't remember the name, but the content said that in a country, there are loyal ministers and traitors, and there are corrupt officials and clean officials, just like incompatible fire and water, they are both natural and mortal enemies, and they can coexist at the same time, and a country that leaves only one kind of person does not exist at all.
The world itself is a contradictory whole, because poverty can lead to wealth, beauty can bring out ugliness, and conflict can highlight the magical world of peace and preciousness.
