Chapter 354: The Sun Competition
More than two months is a long story, but for Ye Chen, who is immersed in practice, it is still not enough, in the first week, he specialized in combat skills during the day, and the hunting moment was started as soon as it was dark, and the veterans were tossed to death, barely sleeping for an hour and suffering from nightmares, seeing that the usual training on the eighth day was unsustainable, so he could only let go for the time being.
During this period, Qin Wu actually sent two combat skills in vain, the second-grade high-level splitting the river and breaking the waves, and the second-grade high-level first-line wind, naturally smiled unceremoniously, and the fat man also negotiated the specific matters of the Qingxin Elixir as a representative, and the prescription was passed back to the sister-in-law of Sulan in Wanglai Town, and soon a hundred bottles of finished products were sent to the garrison, and the reason why it was so efficient was due to the good fate that was formed at the beginning.
When he first arrived in Wanglai Town, he accepted the black iron-level task to support the medicine collector, and got along well with Zhang's father and others, and now his daughter Zhang Ruonan inherited the ancestral business and made a bold move, and in the past, she went to the Valley of Hundred Medicines to collect, and hired the giant's mercenaries as guards.
Of course, Ye Chen will not save the medicine in his hand, but he did not give it directly, but from the tenth day, he will participate in the meal and let the veterans eat it, so far the day training has been halved, and the hunting time at night has been postponed, and the time period is all according to the requirements of the exercises, and gradually forming a routine, whether it is the scale armor condensed by the black evil or the cultivation of the people, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and when Qin Wu informed him that he would be released from prison at the end of the night, there would be a car to pick him up, and the thirty-six pieces of pitch-black scale armor were just evenly distributed, and the cultivation was raised to a minimum of two levels, and finally drank and mingled in the evening. When everyone was drunk, he went out alone in the moonlight, got in the car and left.
The carriage drove all the way into the back door of the royal courtyard, and Lao Lu, who had been following Su Yangcheng, parked the car and said respectfully: "Young Master Ye Chen, the eldest lady is in the hall, and I told you to go alone." ”
"Okay, there are Lao Lu Bo chariots and horses to work hard, take these to drink a little wine, otherwise I will not be at ease."
Even if he is his own person, Ye Chen will naturally not be stingy, put down the abundant money bag and leave quickly, Lao Lu will smile and bow slightly: "Xie Ye is not generous." ”
He waved his hand without looking back, and soon came to the familiar hall along the road, looking at the bright lights inside, but there was only a table of wine and food waiting for Yiren, the moment Ye Chen stepped into the sight, his beautiful eyes were obviously full of brilliance, and then he got up and said lightly: "You are here,......, sit down and taste it." ”
Su Yuerou was a little nervous, and when she saw Ye Chen nodding and sitting down not far away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waited for three or two delicious bites, and said quietly: "Last time, there were too many officials involved, and of the seven people you killed that day, two of them were third-grade, although they all belonged to the queen's line and their official positions were not heavy, but it was enough to cause shocks in the government and the opposition, and more importantly, my father needed this opportunity." ”
"Okay, you really don't need to explain, my original intention was to save Qian Xiaohua, if you can kill or not, kill it anyway, it's enough to save more, just tell me if you have something."
The plain words were not without ambiguity, Ye Chen continued to inspect the table after speaking, there were chopsticks without chopsticks to show the lack of interest, Su Yuerou heard it, pursed her lips vigorously and still said: "During the period of Lei Hou's closed-door self-examination, it was my grandfather and his old man who presided over the military department on his behalf, and they all said that the emperor Chrysostom Yuyan was a thought of life and death, but the officials of the feudal territory could not move if they said that they could move, and the intertwined links could only be cut off little by little. ”
"Well, I understand, the so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but it's a pity that those who die in vain have no one to do, come, have a drink."
Between the words, Ye Chen picked up the wine and drank it all, turned his hand and brightened the bottom of the cup empty, and really put Her Royal Highness the princess on the spot, and drank it to agree with the latter words, but from ancient times to the present, there are countless people who have died in vain, who can comment on the judgment, and if you don't drink it, you will default to the preface, but that is an understandable fact, whether it is the emperor or the minister, the minister or the general, which foot is not white and boneless, Su Yuerou really has no way, she can only drink half a cup and then turn over and pour half a cup, which can be regarded as both.
"Well, let's talk about something else."
"Okay, the matter of the Sun Contest has been decided, but my uncle has always been stubborn, as if he was the only one who had the throne at the beginning, but he insisted on giving it to his unambitious father, who was only keen on cultivation, and even the big and small affairs in the academy have always been busy with the vice president and several elders, and sometimes it is difficult to see each other throughout the year, so ......."
"Eh, just say it, who are the two of us."
"Huh? Oh, so, you can only pretend to be an iron mask to participate in the competition, the weapon has been prepared, it is a wind attribute long knife close to the intermediate level of the third grade, and the combat skill was brought to you by your uncle before, so there should be practice. ”
No wonder Su Yuerou spoke cautiously, going to the competition like this is equivalent to paying for her own arms, and it is no wonder that she wants to talk about the stubbornness of the big uncle, otherwise she may really suspect that she is perfunctory, and fortunately, the two combat skills are not profound, but more importantly, the understanding and application of true intentions, and practicing to the extreme is definitely comparable to the three-grade primary.
"You shouldn't be grinding with your uncle, right?"
"It's okay, Uncle is the most spoiled by me."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded, but he didn't know what to say in the future, but after a little silence, even Su Yuerou became more and more restrained, and the two of them had to cover up their embarrassment with one chopstick and one chopstick, and they couldn't help but look at each other while eating, and after a pause, they covered their mouths and laughed inexplicably, and then the chopsticks flew over You are very happy to compete for me, and there is a feeling of being speechless.
In the early morning of five days later, the Sunshine Contest was held as scheduled, and the vice president and the three elders opened the teleportation array in public, entering in the order of the Elite Academy, the Superior Academy, and the Equality Academy. ”
"Then who's going to collect the money."
"Hurry up and come here."
"Don't delay."
"The four of us are in a hurry to go forward."
As soon as the old dean's voice fell, the already famous four prodigal sons jumped out and shouted, a mentor hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to speed up the process, 40,000 gold was given faster than flying, and then moved towards the teleportation array, the four of them walked side by side called a tiger and a tiger, and after that, the fat man and the thin monkey, the three sisters of the Jin family, etc., paid money one after another to keep up, and so on to teleport to the Yanwu Valley, all newcomers held their breath and looked around.
The magnificent arena seen is integrated, and the simplicity is hidden in the brave and fierce atmosphere, which makes people's blood boil unconsciously, even if they can't show their skills, they want to shout and cheer into it, not to mention that the platforms on both sides are crowded, and they are all dressed up to look rich or expensive, so the grand occasion must be unprecedented.
"Knock, knock......."
A drum suddenly resounded throughout the audience, all eyes immediately turned to the direction of the hall, watched for a moment the drum beat more than forty-nine in one breath, the two tall hall doors slowly opened in the sixty-fourth ring, however, after the rhythm slowed down but did not stop, until the door was wide open has knocked out seventy-two rings, the wise people are there, consciously bend their knees and touch their chests and bow first, and those who realize it suddenly realize that it is inevitable to exclaim: "Eighty-one rings, Your Majesty is here in person." ”
"Knock knock......."
Seventy-four rang down, and the Praetorian Guard's armor was bright and stepped out of the gate.
"Knock knock......."
The four queues were in place, stepping on the ground in unison, turning to each other, striding to make way for a wide passageway.
"Knock knock......."
A roll of thick red carpet rolled out of the door, spread out along the passage impartially, and exhausted to just sit on the edge of the high platform.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Eighty-one drums sounded exactly the same, His Majesty Su Jue was dressed in light armor and pressed the sword on his waist, and stepped out of the gate to show his royal demeanor, and a momentum of wanting to expand the territory swept away, waiting to go out of a distance, Duke Qin Peng was old and strong, pretending to smile, ranking second and deservedly, and the third was a thin old man with his hands in front of him, his clothes and appearance were inconspicuous, and finally some officials at all levels, and finally the father and son of the Lei family were never seen.
"Your Majesty, peace of mind."
His Majesty Su Jue led a group of officials just to stand still, the audience spontaneously chanted, the sound spread for more than ten breaths, waiting for the king to wave his hand domineeringly, the audience was flat, the vice president of the academy then led people to the stage, at the same time, Su Anbang appeared at the entrance of the arena, a large number of soldiers entered ten steps and a sentry, straight to the opposite high platform, when everything was ready, the two Praetorian Guard commanders stepped forward quickly, and placed two stout seats, one large and one slightly smaller.
"The battle for the sun of the highest university under the rule of the empire, the widow specially invited the old duke to take a look at the future stars, you don't have to be formal, you must cheer for the students, vice dean, you are fully responsible for the next."
After a few short speeches, His Majesty Su Jue simply put away his sword and armor, changed into comfortable civilian clothes and sat down, and did not forget to stretch out his hand and signal the old Duke Qin to sit down together, the emaciated old man stood silently between the two seats, his eyes suddenly opened sharp, and he looked around left and right, and the officials quickly retreated to make way for a large space, and after arranging them neatly, someone sent a small chair.
"The minister commands."
The vice president responded to the order, turned around and faced the public, looking kind and kind, but his voice was extremely solemn: "Listen to the students of the three academies, the next nine rings are divided into three parts, Nos. 1 to 3 are for the elite academy to compete, and so on, regardless of the victory or defeat of the number of battles below the nine, the relegation treatment, the equality academy wins three games in a row, can be qualified to go to the superior academy to challenge, the same is true for the superior academy, if there is a challenge to win the direct promotion, the loser will be demoted immediately, any two people who have fought against each other cannot be repeated, no one is allowed to admit defeat and engage in a sneak attack, No one is allowed to deliberately kill after winning, and the offender will be expelled from the academy and sent to prison. ”
After a pause to show vigilance, the vice president breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Reward, the top three in the Sun List will be selected in the Heavenly Treasure House in the main hall, the top three in the Elite Academy will be awarded by the Imperial Military Department, and the top three in the Superior Academy and the Equality Academy will be given by the Academy, and those who win nine games will be on the Sun List, and the same game will be ranked by order or defeat, and the Sun List will be immediately erased and released, and the competition will begin." ”
After that, the scorching sun list flickered to clear all the names and ancillary combat power, the long-awaited audience couldn't help but cheer enthusiastically, and some even named and cheered, it was a world of difference from the five courtyards, Ye Chen's face was covered with iron face, and he looked around left and right, and retracted his gaze, but saw Su Jiye on the No. 1 ring, Han Xinghe on the No. 2 ring, only the No. 3 ring was unattended, and Su Yuerou beside him glanced at each other, and then walked through the crowd to the No. 3 ring, and the mentor was in place, and the challenge officially began.
