The Zhao clan has controlled the Dadu Governor's Mansion for more than 100 years, relying on the strength of cultivation, and in the middle of Zhao Beiwang's hopeless achievement of the Wang Ji Realm, when Zhao Ningkong has the name of a genius, Sun Meng thinks that this is the best opportunity for the Sun clan to replace him.

However, after a battle in the ring, Sun Meng knew that the Zhao family deliberately concealed the true situation of Zhao Ning, and only looked at Zhao Ning's cultivation and combat power the day before yesterday, and he would definitely be able to inherit Zhao Xuanji's mantle in the future, and Sun's chance was not great.

However, if the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is changed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, with the current family situation of the Sun family, it is very likely that he will become one of the five Metropolitan Governors, on an equal footing with the Zhao family, so that the Sun family will get a new great opportunity for development.

Sun Meng pressed his heart and said calmly to Xu Minglang: "Duke Xu wants to change the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but I'm afraid it's just to create an opportunity for civil officials and scholars to enter it, right?"

Over the years, the civilian clique has continued to infiltrate the sphere of influence of military generals, and the results have been remarkable, but the Metropolitan Governor's Office has not been able to get involved.

As the highest military yamen, if the civilian officials want to completely collect the military power in the center and achieve the goal of civilian control of military generals, they must eventually intervene in the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Xu Minglang did not hide it, and said with a smile: "The right is not dedicated to one division, and the matter is not left in the shadows." Since each army already has a supervising army, it is natural that there should be a literati in the Dadu Governor's Mansion to serve as the Dadu Governor.

"Although the dynasty is divided into civil and military forces, no matter how the civil and military divide labor, they still serve the dynasty together. ”

Sun Meng chased after him and asked, "One, or two?"

Xu Minglang said: "One is too little, and two is not much." ”

Among the five metropolitan governors, if only one literati occupies one, they will basically be excluded and isolated, and they will not be effective. But if it reaches three, there are more literati than generals, and the generals will definitely not agree.

Sun Meng was noncommittal: "Duke Xu is worried about the dynasty, Sun has always known, but the matter is big, and the Zhao family may not agree." ”

Xu Minglang's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "The Zhao family will definitely not agree." But this is an opportunity for other generals, as long as other generals need it, can the Zhao family still disobey the will of the people?"

Sun Meng fell silent.

Xu Minglang waited for a moment, and asked unhurriedly, "What does Sun Gong think?"

Sun Meng knew that this was Xu Minglang asking him about his attitude to see if he supported this matter. If he chooses to support, then he must bring Jiangmen, who is close to the Sun family, to stand in line.

If the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is really changed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it will inevitably cause the overall shaking of the Jiangmen, and many interests will inevitably be redivided, and the changes in personnel and power involved will be tantamount to throwing the Jiangmen into the oil pan and frying it again.

And some generals are bound to profit from this, and the family will rise, while some generals will suffer losses and decline in status.

With such a big event, Sun Meng couldn't express his position now, and when the opportunity came in front of him, he couldn't let it go easily, so he muttered: "It's about Jiangmen as a whole, and Sun can't tell if it can be done at a certain time." ”

Xu Minglang was not surprised by Sun Meng's reaction, and said lightly: "So this father gives Sun Gong and Jiangmen a buffer time, and also allows Jiangmen's attitude to be shown as much as possible in the future, so that everyone can get to know each other and make choices, and there is still room for this to be the Mendi Toshihiko participating in the actual combat drill of the Art of War." ”

Sun Meng looked at Xu Minglang's eyes and had to be full of jealousy.

This old fox is indeed scheming, and in order to divide the power of the generals, he suppresses the military, and he does everything he can.

The ring is more martial, Zhao Ning just defeated Xu Zhiyuan and took the lead, so that the sixteen-year-old Mendi Junyan couldn't raise his head, Xu Minglang turned his head and came to such a hand, which has the magic of being strategic, and drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

"Xu Gong is honest with each other today, and Sun will not say anything at all, and the door is full of Junyan who participated in the actual combat drill of the disciples, and Sun agreed. Sun Meng expressed his limited attitude.

"Okay! Sun Gong is really an understanding person. Xu Minglang was very satisfied.

Zhao Xuanji returned to the Zhao camp with Wei Chongshan and the others, discussed for a while, and put forward many possibilities, but in the end, he couldn't get a convincing answer for everyone, so Zhao Xuanji asked someone to find Zhao Ning, and Wei Chongshan also asked someone to summon Wei Wuxian.

Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian entered the account, listened to the introduction, looked at each other, and both found that the other side was not worried.

"Mendi Toshihiko participates in the actual combat drill of the art of war of the disciples of the sect, which is definitely not a good thing, in the opinion of Sun Er, no matter what they are trying to do, if they want to succeed, they must perform and win in the drill. ”

Wei Wuxian's fat face wrinkled into buns, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "We should respond to all changes with the same, we just need to let the Mendi Toshihiko go out early in the drill, and let Your Majesty see their unbearableness, and everything should be fine." ”

Speaking of this, he scratched his chin and continued, "Sun Er thinks it's better not to involve Toshihiko Mendi. ”

Zhao Ning basically agreed with Wei Wuxian's opinion, and added: "If there is really a general, agrees to this matter, and finally lets the doorman Toshihiko participate in the art of war drill, then it means that there is also a problem inside the general."

"To make sure that this incident does not become a breakthrough in the bigger things that follow, our own people must win the championship in the art of war drill. In this way, no matter what happens afterwards, the winner will always have more weight to say. ”

Zhao Xuanji and Wei Chongshan both nodded, and their previous discussion was almost like this. If you can't let the door interfere in the art of war drill, it is naturally the best, if you can't stop it, then try to win the championship.

When Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian came out of the tent, the latter dragged the former aside and asked Zhao Ning why his combat skills and martial arts were so outstanding, why he had secretly cultivated these things all these years, and he and Chen Anzhi had to hide it from him.

Wei Wuxian was very angry, and Zhao Ning was very helpless.

Zhao Qiyue, Zhao Xin and others have already investigated such questions, they are all children of the Zhao family, and they know Zhao Ning's situation very well.

If you want to say that the exercise of "Mirror Water Step" can still rely on chance to have an epiphany and cultivate quickly, the combat skills definitely need to be honed day after day.

In front of Zhao Qiyue and Zhao Xin, Zhao Ning pushed the reason on Zhao Yujie, saying that the two of them have been getting along day and night all these years, but in fact, they haven't spent much time helping each other to cultivate.

Zhao Yujie's talent is so high, the people of the Zhao clan can see it, and after practicing for two or three years, he has reached the ninth layer of the Forging Body Realm and even the Imperial Qi Realm, which is indeed shocking, not to mention that ordinary geniuses are difficult to match, and Zhao Qiyue is far behind.

And Zhao Ning is a once-in-a-century cultivation wizard of the Zhao family, no, once in five hundred years, and the two of them have practiced together, producing an effect that makes others stunned and incomprehensible, which is not unreasonable.

Before, others didn't know the level of Zhao Ning's combat skills, but it was just that Zhao Ning didn't have a chance to show his good life, and he didn't mean to hide it.

"Before I competed in the ring, I didn't know I could fight like this. Zhao Ning also said to Zhao Qiyue in a serious way.

Zhao Qiyue's eyes rolled to the sky, and she was angry when she mentioned Zhao Yujie, and when she saw that Zhao Ning said something like that, she believed it, after all, there is no better explanation and possibility, and the facts are in front of her.

Now facing Wei Wuxian, Zhao Ning had to explain the situation of fighting with the gentlemen in the past, and he deliberately hid his strength, so that the brothers had no less blue noses and swollen faces.

Zhao Ning sighed, and said with a sad face: "In the past, Zhao Yujie and I sharpened our combat skills day and night, and I felt that we had gains every day, and I also thought about killing the Quartet in the market, but Zhao Yujie asked me to hide my strength, so that when I was hunting in the autumn of sixteen, I would be shocked and .......worshipped by others."

Wei Wuxian was stunned: "You really listened to her?"

"At first, everyone thought that I was unruly and unprofessional, and many real handsome people looked down on me, Zhao Yujie said, instead of showing it with a little strength, it is better to get to the point where everyone sighs to themselves, and then suddenly burst out, so that everyone can hit everyone's face, so that everyone can be impressed by me, and even bow down......"

Zhao Ning looked up at the moon, looking unbearable from the past, "I think it's quite handsome." And you know, over the years, I have been obedient to Zhao Yujie, and she will naturally ...... whatever she says."

"Brother Ning, don't say it, I know everything. Wei Wuxian saw that Zhao Ning was sad, thinking that he was heartbroken again because of Zhao Yujie's betrayal, and hurriedly stopped him from reminiscing about the past.

Zhao Ning pretended to be "pretending to be relaxed" and smiled, Wei Wuxian hurriedly changed the topic, "What do you think about the actual combat drill in the art of war? Let's go, let's go and talk while drinking!"

"Finally" let Zhao Ning come out of the old relationship, Wei Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Zhao Yujie's stinky woman is really talented, and she has practiced such a combat skill with Ning Ge'er in a few years...... This is a scourge, if I bump into her, I must kill her immediately!"

Two days later, the 18 nobles and the 16-year-old children of the 13 sects gathered in the camp and prepared to conduct a practical combat drill in the art of war.

Everyone was clothed, carrying bows and knives, and their backpacks were filled with dry food and water, just like sharp soldiers in the army.

In the end, Toshihiko Mendi successfully participated in the drill.

Zhao Ning looked at the mountains and forests ten miles ahead, and his eyes finally fell on a tall mountain in the center, even if it was far away, he could see a huge yellow flag fluttering on the mountain.

Later, 31 teams composed of 16-year-old boys will disperse into the mountains and forests for two days and nights, and whoever can win the yellow flag on the top of the mountain will be the final winner.

In this actual combat confrontation, each team is independent, and after entering the mountains and forests, the remaining thirty teams are opponents in principle, and the results of winning the Yellow Flag will only be counted on the head of one team.

In such a situation, each team needs to use many methods and means to ensure that they become the final victors.

"You have successfully stood up, the performance is unmatched, if you can successfully capture the flag this time, you can steadily rank first, and after the fact, you will inevitably get the official position of the seventh grade. Zhao Qiyue cheered for Zhao Ning.

Wei Wuxian glanced at those men, touched his chin and pondered, "The people who come are not good, I don't know what these mendi junyan will do when they go to the mountains, will they unite?"

When everyone was talking, Sun Kang walked by with his own team of children, and he walked to Zhao Ning by himself, greeted him with a smile, and said politely: "Zhao Gongzi ......"
