Chapter Forty-Nine: Retreat!

"The king has arrived!"

"The Holy Messenger has arrived!"

Two high-pitched and loud voices rang out.

The disciples in the huge hall turned their heads and looked out of the hall door.

Wearing a luxurious royal robe, a golden jade crown on his head, and gray hair, King Wei, who was already a little old, and Xiang Dongting, the holy envoy wearing a temple totem robe, talked and laughed all the way, and walked in side by side.

Behind them, there were three teenagers with different expressions.

It is the third son of King Wei, Wei Chun, Wei Jing and Wei Yang.

Wang Donglin, as the personal guard of King Wei, was the last to step in, with a sword at his waist, quite the demeanor of a famous swordsman.

If it were ordinary, when those disciples saw the so-called First Swordsman of the Patriotic Country, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to run over and ask for an autograph.

And now, most of their eyes were on the Temple Envoy.

Compared with the temple, the small border country of Weiguo is not worth mentioning, and compared with the holy envoy of the temple, the so-called first swordsman of the country is even more unattainable.

"Meet the King!

Lu Changyuan, the president of the Shenjiang Academy, and Wang Zong, the president of the Qinglan Academy, saluted idly.

"Meet the King!

The disciples of the two academies followed closely and saluted in unison.

King Wei glanced at it with a smile, his voice was dry and hoarse, and said, "Sit down." ”

Then he looked at Xiang Dongting and said in an unhurried voice, "Lord Holy Envoy, the leaders of the younger generation of my country are all here. Although I can't imagine the demeanor of the disciples of the temple, they are also the hope of my future defense of the country. ”

Xiang Dongting smiled, "King Wei is too modest, the contemptible people have long heard of Qinglan and the Divine General, and when I saw it today, it really deserves to be the highest martial arts school in the country, and the disciples of the academy are all living dragons and tigers." ”

When the two of them spoke, their voices were not deliberately lowered, nor did they deliberately show people in a loud voice. After they entered, the disciples, who had been making some small noises, were silent, and they all heard their conversation clearly.

Especially after receiving the praise of the Holy Envoy, many of the disciples straightened their backs with honor.

Even if it was a polite word, it came from the mouth of the Holy Envoy.

Those disciples were all full of energy, and they all hoped to attract Xiang Dongting's attention.

However, there are still people who have doubts in their eyes.

What about the saints?

Didn't this holy envoy come with the holy woman?

Why do you only see the honor of the holy envoy, but not the demeanor of the holy woman?

The Holy Envoy did not explain, and it was naturally inconvenient for others to ask.

"Haven't you arrived yet, generals?" asked King Wei as he asked his attendants.

The attendant replied: "Back to the king, Chang Chunhou and General Wu He are busy with the reorganization of the new army, saying that they may not be able to come. ”

Hearing this, King Wei nodded, "Recently, I have indeed tired them, so let's not wait, let's start first." ”

The banquet officially began.

And those disciples in the audience, especially the disciples of the Divine General Academy who were born in commoners, after hearing King Wei's words, once again confirmed with their own ears that the new army would select some outstanding disciples from among them, otherwise, how could those generals be invited to participate in the hunting activities of the two academies?

One after another palace dishes were put on the banquet, Ye Chong came today, the main purpose was to see that Wei Wang, on the one hand, to satisfy his curiosity, after all, his father's dismal experience over the years, this old man is the culprit. Another purpose is to see if King Wei is dying of old age as others say, and his time is short.

Now it seems that the man who talked and laughed on the throne had indeed gray hair, and his spirit was strong, and although he forced laughter, he could not avoid the dullness and twilight on his body.

At that moment, Ye Chong felt that this Wei Wang was very sad, and set up a conspiracy to kill his brother and seize the throne for just a few years.

Ye Chong could clearly see that the three princes sitting under King Wei's seat were obviously hostile to each other.

Especially the eldest prince Wei Chun and the second prince Wei Jing, they must also know King Wei's desire to let Wei Yang take over the throne, and they seem to have a bit of the same hatred.

These details and expressions can be concealed from the disciples of the two academies who are seated, but it is difficult to hide Ye Chong, who has been crisscrossing the shopping mall in his previous life and dealing with various three sects and nine streams.

Halfway through the banquet.

The banquet was withdrawn.

King Wei said, "Take the beast card." ”

The disciples below immediately shook their spirits and rubbed their hands one by one.

Prior to this, the academy had told them about the rules of the hunt.

The mountain behind the Weiwang Palace is also the hunting ground of the nobles of the Weiguo, where there are herds of wild beasts.

Different from the barren mountain, where the desolate beasts lived, the desolate beasts in the mountain behind the palace were all masters of defending the country and hunted back from the barren mountain.

Because the princes and nobles, including King Wei, are not necessarily martial arts masters, they hunt, so naturally there is no need to go to the barren mountain where wild beasts gather.

And those wild beasts that are stocked in the mountains behind the palace are basically below the middle grade of the yellow rank, and when King Wei is hunting, there will be no danger if there is a master like Wang Donglin by his side.

It was also the occasion for the disciples of the two academies to start hunting.

Similarly, it is also because of the small danger, if this group of disciples are sent to the Barren Mountain, although they have a certain combat effectiveness, but once the competition between the two academies starts, it will inevitably cause a lot of jungle commotion, if it attracts high-level desolate beasts or beast tides, then these young talents will inevitably encounter bad luck, this is not what the deans of the two academies want to see, nor is it what King Wei wants to see.

Even so, every year, disciples are injured in hunting activities.

But at least it prevented someone from dying.

Moreover, the hunting activities are not more than the desolate pills hunted by the disciples of that academy.

They realized that in many places in the back mountain, they placed beast cards, and those disciples did not want to hunt wild beasts, but to find a way to get beast cards.

It may be inevitable to engage in encounters with wild beasts, but at the same time, it can also take into account the resourcefulness and reflexes of these young disciples. Just like a soldier who surrenders without a fight, if you can fight less with the beasts and get the most hands, then you will undoubtedly become the best person in the hunt.

There is also a rule that the disciples of the two academies, in the process of competing for the beast card, can shoot at the people of the other camp, and the only criterion is that they are not allowed to take their lives.

This smacks of military exercises.

Conspiracy, conspiracy, force, these are all considered in hunting activities.

At this time, there were not many beast cards that King Wei asked people to take, only ten in total.

This is a warm-up reward for tomorrow's official hunt.

In this hall, all the disciples, in the time of a cup of tea, participated in the snatching of these ten beast cards empty-handed.

This is the first chance for those disciples to show off.

Before the hunt officially began, being able to grab the beast card from the hands of so many people will naturally win the attention of many people, and the beast card obtained this time, as long as it is not lost in the hunt, can be included in the final personal score.

It's also time to get a head start.

Sure enough, as soon as King Wei's words fell, Wei Chun, Wei Jing, and Wei Yang all got up and left their seats.

The disciples of the Divine General Academy and the Qinglan Academy, under the command of their respective deans, stood in the center of the hall in two rows.

Every disciple's eyes were scorching.

For the king of Wei was watching them, and the holy envoy of the temple was watching them.

Wang Donglin, at the suggestion of King Wei, took the ten beast cards, came to the field, and stood in front of the disciples of the two academies.

There is already an undercurrent of pushing and shoving in the crowd.

Wang Donglin's gaze fell on Ye Chong's body.

Ye Chong noticed his gaze, and then saw the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and then the ten beast cards were thrown into the air at the same time, flying towards him with lightning speed.

Ye Chong's eyes tightened, and then he felt the pressure surging towards him around him.

The beast card is flying towards him, so if others want to get the beast card, they naturally have to push him away first, or take it from him.

With only a cup of tea, he was completely unable to resist the siege of the disciples from all directions.

Wang Donglin's move was obviously intentional.

He just wants to make Ye Chong the target of public criticism.

Before the beast card fell, Beitang Mo and Qin Wuyue, who were standing beside Ye Chong, were already eager to try, they naturally didn't want to attack Ye Chong, but wanted to grab one or two beast cards from the air.

No one will pass up such an opportunity.

So Ye Chong retreated!

There was no hesitation in retreating.

He seemed to be pushed out by the countless hands that rushed to him, a little embarrassed, a little humble.

Then in front of him, it became a battlefield where countless people rushed to grab it.

"I got it!"

"Mine!"

"Who kicked me?"

“......”

In the midst of such a cacophony, the time for a cup of tea soon came.

"Stop!"

Wang Donglin shouted loudly in the hall, and suddenly stopped the hustle and bustle of those battles.

Some people were pushed to the ground, some people had fists on their faces, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and some people's faces were still hideous.

Others have taken the beast card.

At this time, the people holding the cards in their hands are Liang Chengwu of Qinglan Academy, Shen Qing'er, Cheng Linghuo, Qi Feng, who was the first in the last session of the Divine General Academy, Hou Yinglong, who was the first in this session, Cao Hong, who was the second in the last session, Qin Wuyue, who occupied a geographical advantage, and the three sons of King Wei, Wei Chun, Wei Jing, and Wei Yang.

The eyes of those disciples who looked at them were full of envy.

These ten people have also been praised by the king and the holy envoy.

But Ye Chong, who fled from the battlefield from the very beginning, from the most advantageous position in the eyes of outsiders, where those beast cards fell, retreated directly to him, who was outside the crowd, at this time, what he got was a sneering face.

In the kung fu of this tea, the courage and enterprising of each disciple fell into the eyes of everyone.

And Ye Chong, he is the only outlier who seems to be a little cowardly and chooses to retreat.

"Hey, Ye Chonglou's son, it's so cowardly!"

"Sure enough, it's not worthy of our senior sister Qing'er. ”

"Isn't he very good in the academy, why can't he do it at this time?"

“......”

Some ill-intentioned discussions whispered around Ye Chong's side.

Shen Qing'er, who was holding a beast card, heard someone mention her name, her face turned slightly pale, but she was still as proud as a swan, holding her beautiful and moving head, and did not turn her head to look at Ye Chong.

Ye Chong's face was calm, and he was not ashamed of his retreat just now, but just raised his head and glanced at Wang Donglin.

He knew that even if he didn't retreat, that Wang Donglin might not let himself get the beast card easily.

Because Wang Donglin was very close to them, even if he took advantage of the chaos to make some small movements, he would not be noticed.

The only criterion for Ye Chong to make a trade-off is that he is not enough to confront Wang Donglin now.

So he retreated cleanly!
