Chapter 7: Rivalry

Among the four major school fields in the capital, the school field of the Praetorian Guard is not the largest, but it is the one with the most stands.

Why stands on campus?

Simple, the school is essentially a place for military parades, although in normal times, there are many opportunities for practice, but every year, there will be a large-scale military parade ceremony, and sometimes, the emperor will even personally come to the parade.

And the emperor's entourage, deployment, groups and groups, sometimes, there are more soldiers than fucking soldiers participating in the parade, and where are the more people stuffed, of course many stands have to be built.

In addition to the review, most of the usual military competitions are also carried out on the school field, and there will also be many spectators, so there are enough stands around each school field to enclose the entire school field, in Wang Guanlan's eyes, these school fields are very similar to those football fields in his previous life, in fact, in Wang Guanlan's eyes, this is a huge football field, the area, about five to six times that of the football field in the previous life, and the dense stands around it in the eyes of others are much less than the football fields in the previous life。

"I don't know if I want to charge tickets here!" Under the guidance of a small school, Wang Guanlan and Feng Jiu Xia Dongyuan walked into the school side by side, secretly thinking in their hearts, "If I charge tickets, should I ask for some shares?!"

"Hey, boy, what are you thinking, I'm still in a daze when I get here!" Seeing Wang Guanlan's eyes wandering around, obviously not thinking about the upcoming decisive battle, Feng Jiu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, you know, for this time the challenge of the Seven Princes, Feng Jiu didn't think that Wang Guanlan needed to go next, because this didn't really benefit Wang Guanlan, except for being able to show some limelight, the premise was that you Wang Guanlan could win the Seventh Prince.

Although in Yicheng, Wang Guanlan easily defeated the Seven Princes, but it was by virtue of the power of the Nine Flame Dragons, with the help of the Five Elements Formation of Fengming Valley, but this is the capital, not Fengming Valley, the capital also has a formation, but this formation is not Wang Guanlan's, and it will never stand on Wang Guanlan's side, and it is even very likely to stand on the opposite side of Wang Guanlan, after all, the Seven Princes are the sister-in-law of Jiang Ying, the current Emperor of Great Qi, and this time, it is his home field.

Of course, this does not mean that he is not optimistic about Wang Guanlan, in fact, he has enough confidence in Wang Guanlan, this bastard, God knows how many hole cards he still has in his hand, but now he starts to lift the cards, he still seems a little impatient, which is not in their interests.

Yes, it is the interests, their interests, and the interests of Wang Guanlan.

Whether it is Feng Jiu or Xia Dongyuan, they can have such achievements at such a young age, on the one hand, because they are indeed very good, and on the other hand, it is thanks to the forces behind them, there is no strong force to cultivate, it is simply incredible to have such strength at such a young age, and Wang Guanlan is the same.

Don't look at Wang Guanlan It seems that he relied on some adventures, but he was able to have such an achievement, mainly relying on two people, one is the mysterious woman in scarlet, and the other is his uncle, these two guys, it seems that they are running a single gang, but God knows what kind of behemoth is standing behind them?

Wang Guanlan didn't know either, but the current Wang Guanlan was in the same camp as Feng Jiu and Xia Dongyuan in the eyes of them, they were all members of the noble family, and they also belonged to the very high status.

The so-called pro-noble, can also be understood as the gate valve force, the Central Plains Dynasty has a vast territory, after many years of forming a large number of large and small gate valve forces, these gate valve forces in the many dynasties in the tenacious survival, multiply, control the vast land on the Central Plains, countless years ago, some of the gate valves disappeared, some of the gate valves have grown, like the four different surnames of the Great Qi Dynasty now, can be said to be the largest representative of today's door valves, perhaps decades, hundreds of years later, the dynasty will change again, the power of the four different surnames may be weakened, but will never disappear completely, because their heritage is too strong, in this sense, the royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty is actually the biggest gate valve of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Feng Jiu and Xia Dongyuan both belong to the pro-noble family, and they also have their own gate valve forces behind them, but the forces behind them are too weak compared to the behemoth of Ning Wangfu, and they are still a side branch of the gate valve forces, but because they have performed well and have been deliberately cultivated, they have faintly become the spokesperson of their own forces in the outside world, and after so many years outside, these two people know very well that in the capital, it is not actually the strength that fights, but the political skills, the capital is completely a game ground for the political interests of all parties, force, just auxiliary, can play an extremely limited role。

Therefore, these two did not agree with Wang Guanlan's behavior.

It's just that no matter how much they don't think so, things will still happen after all, although they have a good relationship with Wang Guanlan, but this does not mean that they can really affect Wang Guanlan's own decision.

Entering the school grounds, Feng Jiu and Xia Dongyuan did not follow Wang Guanlan in, but walked towards the stands, where there was a place for them.

Now there are many people gathered in the stands, and in the eyes of the people in the capital, the guys who are now focusing on the stands are all some big names in the capital, even the prince, the king of Qin and the bachelors of the cabinet are all present in person.

The crown prince, sitting in the stands due north, of course not sitting on the main seat, the special seat of the emperor of the main throne, even if he is not present, no one sits.

The place where the prince sits is the second seat in the north, and it is also the standard position every time he accompanies Jiang Ying to the parade, and the king of Qin sits under him, when the two brothers meet, they also nodded amicably, smiling, and looking like brothers, friends, and brothers.

To the west of the stands, there was another large group of people, who were the civilian-official group, led by Chen Su, a cabinet scholar.

The civil system of the Great Qi Dynasty implements the cabinet system, which is very similar to the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, the cabinet has five scholars, one of the first assistants, one of the second assistants, and three scholars, Chen Su is the youngest of the three scholars, just thirty-nine years old this year, in the cabinet, he has the least power, but the most, who makes him the youngest.

In the east, there is the military attache group, today is a Zhonglang general from the military department, compared to Chen Sulai, this Zhonglang general is much older, already in his early sixties, but he has reached the fifth level of Qi training, but he looks like a forty-something, and the whole person is full of a kind of killing aura, obviously he has experienced battlefield fighting.

In addition to these three parties, there are hundreds of people sitting scattered in the stands, these people are representatives of all forces in the capital, and they are here today for only one purpose, which is to observe Wang Guanlan and see what kind of person this young man who has stirred up the world in the past two years.

When Wang Guanlan walked into the school grounds, the Seventh Prince Jiang Xueting had been waiting there for a long time.

Dressed in white, standing with his hands in his hands, although he was facing a decisive battle, his eyes were still calm, and when he saw Wang Guanlan enter the school field, his expression still maintained a calm, unfazed, as if he was looking at a person who had nothing to do with him.

Look at Wang Guanlan again, in terms of appearance, it is obviously a little worse, a dirty yellow robe, some sparse yellow hair above the lips, a sixteen-year-old boy, has begun to develop, long beard, but this beard is not fully mature, it looks a little funny, if you look at it maliciously, his sparse beard, but there is a rat whisker a little like, there is still a childishness unique to young people on the face, as if a young man who has just come out of the school and has not experienced the world。

"Wang Guanlan, you're finally here!"

When Wang Guanlan walked to a distance of about ten zhang from the Seventh Prince, Jiang Xueting finally spoke, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Let's make a move, I still have something to do!" Wang Guanlan didn't talk nonsense with him, not even a polite word, just smiled coldly, "Since you still have to lose once, I will fulfill you!"

"Okay, I'm going to see today, without the formation to rely on, how can you beat me!" Wang Guanlan's attitude successfully aroused Jiang Xueting's anger, only to hear the sound of Qingyue's sword, the Minghe long sword had already appeared in Jiang Xueting's hand, and in an instant, Jiang Xueting's body had merged with the sword light and flashed in front of Wang Guanlan.

"It's too slow!!" Wang Guanlan smiled, and the slashing knife was already horizontal on his body.

Dangdang!

In the short breath of time, everyone in the stands heard an extremely clear but tight clash of gold and iron.

Wang Guanlan and Jiang Xueting, as soon as they turned into sword light and sword light, fought together on the school ground of the Praetorian Guards.

The so-called layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, more than half of the people in this stand are laymen, so all they can see is the flashing sword light and sword shadow on the school field, and they can't see the figure of the two people at all, and they can't see the situation of the two fighting, only a very few, who have reached the seventh level of strength, and the guy with good eyesight can see the process of the two fighting, these people, one by one, widened their eyes and showed incredible expressions.

Whether it is Wang Guanlan's sword technique or Jiang Xueting's sword light, it is completely beyond their expectations, to reach a very deep realm, but think about it, these two, one has realized the sword intent, and the other has realized the sword intent, and it is said that the will of martial arts is already in the stage of Xiaocheng, of course, it will not be like ordinary people, one sword and one sword in front of others!
