At that time, Shen Ningning was still in class.

Chen Shaobei saw her carriage parked outside the Guoxue Academy, and was about to walk over and ask her coachman to find Shen Ningning for him.

However, as soon as he walked near the carriage, someone happened to lift the curtain and come out inside.

Jiang Zhi and Chen Shaobei looked at each other, and both of them were stunned.

"You still dare to come?" Jiang Zhi took out the kitchen knife pinned to her waist and pressed it against Chen Shaobei's collar: "You nobles, you know how to bully a child, what are you doing here, and you want to make Sister Ning Ning cry?" Makes her sad? ”

Chen Shaobei was not in a hurry to answer, his cold and serious eyes drooped, and he looked at the kitchen knife in his throat.

It is estimated that Jiang Zhi sharpened it for self-defense, and the handle of the knife was tied with a circle of red rope.

He lifted the oiled paper bag in his hand, his face was not afraid, and he replied calmly: "I came to deliver pastries to the county lord, but the main thing is to find you, since you are here, it is just right." ”

Jiang Zhihu's suspicious gaze turned from the oil paper bag back to Chen Shaobei.

"What are you looking for from me, say."

"Soon, my father will hold a martial arts competition at the racecourse to select thirty government soldiers, you are good, I recommend you to apply."

"No, no." Jiang Zhi didn't think about it, so she refused.

Chen Shaobei's tone was indifferent, revealing patience: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, if you are really selected, it is not only as simple as a government soldier, but also my father or the guards around me." ”

"With such an identity, if you follow us into battle to kill the enemy in the future, after returning to the court, the court will directly promote you to a high-grade general."

To put it bluntly, he gave Jiang Zhi a route to take a shortcut to become an official.

Ordinary generals have to participate in strict martial arts at all levels.

But you can also use this way to be a government soldier under the hands of the general of the DPRK.

When you find the right opportunity to kill the enemy from the battlefield, you can go directly to the court.

But Jiang Zhi still disagreed.

She pinned the kitchen knife back to her waist and chuckled in a tomboy tone.

"Even if you say that the smallpox is rotten, I won't go, the two of us meet in Pingshui, how can you be so kind and provide me with this opportunity?"

"Nothing to do, the chicken gives the weasel a New Year's greeting!" She folded her arms and leaned against the wheels.

Chen Shaobei was helpless, and his voice was calm: "It's the weasel who gives the chicken a New Year's greeting, but I don't have any uneasy intentions." ”

Jiang Zhi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "You don't need to say it anymore, I will never go to the martial arts tournament anyway." ”

"Let's not talk about whether I want to go to the General's Mansion to do things, just say that now in the situation of Sister Ning Ning, I should stand by her side, draw a clear distance from you, and avoid suspicion, understand?"

Chen Shaobei bowed his head, his eyes were calm like a deep pool, and there were no ripples.

His thin lips hooked slightly, and he chuckled.

"Don't you want to give yourself a chance and your father a chance?"

"Bandit King Jiang Xiaofeng's Tongsheng Fist, how many people are there now? He made a contribution to the court, but he also died at the hands of the court, and no one avenged him. ”

"If you can stand on the court with your own ability, one day, you will definitely have the opportunity to clear your father's name."

"Whether your father is a bandit king or a hero, when you are powerful, it is just a matter of your words."

Jiang Zhi was stunned.

The cold wind blew the down hair under her felt hat.

In order to dress up as a tomboy, she specially drew thick eyebrows, and her face was rubbed with a layer of things, which looked yellow and dull.

However, Chen Shaobei saw up close that her eyes were incomparably clear, and the outer ring of her pupils was a faint brown, which made her facial features look delicate as a whole.

How can there be a kid who looks so much like a girl?

Chen Shaobei thought to himself.

He could see that Jiang Zhi had many concerns, but he had to convince her to agree today.

It's not that he thinks about Jiang Zhi so much, but that giving Jiang Zhi a chance to enter the General's Mansion was an order given to him by Mo Lingwei.

Mo Lingwei still wanted to find a step down in order to reconcile with Shen Ningning.

Therefore, His Royal Highness the Tsundere Crown Prince handed over this arduous task to Chen Shaobei.

In this short moment, Jiang Zhi had already thought about it, and she shook her head: "Forget it, I ......"

However, before she finished speaking, a soft voice interjected next to her: "Brother Jiang, you must go to the martial arts competition!" ”

The two turned their heads to look, Shen Ningning ran over with her skirt in her little hand and a book in her hand.

She wore a bright red auspicious moire thick jacket, with a circle of white rabbit plush on the collar and cuffs, and the little guy with a petite and fair face.

Shen Ningning stepped on a pair of white riding boots, and the bells jingled and ran to them.

There was a layer of red on her face: "I heard everything I said, Brother Jiang, you don't have to refuse such a good opportunity for me." ”

"I think Uncle Jiang has a spirit in the sky, if he can see you carry forward his Tongsheng Fist and go into battle to kill the enemy, he will be very happy."

Deep down in Jiang Zhi's heart, of course she wanted to go, but she had a kind of resistance to the imperial court.

However, now hearing Shen Ningning's encouragement, Jiang Zhi was finally a little moved.

In the end, she looked at Chen Shaobei: "Okay, since Sister Ning Ning supports me, I'll try." ”

Chen Shaobei chuckled: "The martial arts competition will be held in six days, and I will come here to pick you and the county lord at that time." ”

Shen Ningning raised his little head, and his round black eyes blinked: "Am I going too?" ”

Chen Shaobei asked rhetorically: "Isn't the county lord going to cheer for Brother Jiang?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ningning suddenly smiled and bent his eyebrows: "Oh, then I'm going!" ”

Chen Shaobei smiled quietly.

He handed the pastries he brought to Shen Ningning: "I heard that the county lord likes to eat, so I specially bought it and brought it, and it was not too early, so I said goodbye first." ”

After that, Chen Shaobei turned over and got on the horse, with a neat and handsome figure.

Jiang Zhi looked at his back and sighed: "This Chen Shaobei, I admire him a little, it's really a little bit of a young general's heroic posture." ”

After she finished speaking, she couldn't wait for Shen Ningning's response.

Looking down, Shen Ningning's eyes turned red again.

Jiang Zhi was startled and hurriedly got off the carriage: "What's the matter, Sister Ning Ning, why are you crying again?" ”

Shen Ningning looked at the pastry in his hand, choked up and said, "Only my brother knows that I like to eat this taste." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Zhi was stunned, and then became angry: "This Chen Shaobei, I knew that as soon as he appeared, he would definitely make you cry!" ”

She hurriedly wiped the little guy's tears with her sleeve: "Sister Ningning, don't be sad. ”

Shen Ningning's little nose was red, and she raised her big misty eyes: "Sister Jiang Zhi, could it be that my brother is no longer angry with me?" ”

Jiang Zhi hesitated: "This ...... I'm not sure, maybe......"

Heavy snow fell for two days in a row.

On the day of the tournament, it was finally stopped.

The sun, which has not appeared for a long time, is shining brightly.

However, the land of Cangyun Country is still a land of ice and snow, and the cold wind is biting.

The racecourse has already set up a circular ring, and people with lofty ideals from all walks of life will take the stage to compete.

When Shen Ningning arrived, he saw that there were already many people outside the field.

Jiang Zhi glanced at it and was surprised: "Hey, there must be thousands of people here!" ”

It's a big deal.

Chen Ye, who was driving, said with a smile: "This is the selection of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and what we who practice martial arts are most eager to become a member of the Zhenbei Army, which is a matter of being able to glorify our ancestors." ”

Not because of anything else, but because General Zhenbei participated in countless battles in his life and did not lose a single battle.

The reason why Cangyun Kingdom suffered from drought and was not invaded by foreign enemies was precisely because such a tiger and wolf army shocked foreign countries.

After Shen Ningning heard this, he said to Jiang Zhi: "Brother Jiang, you have to behave well in a while, don't be afraid." ”

She and Jiang Zhi got out of the carriage one after the other, and the Black Wolf King and the Wolf Three also wanted to get out of the crowded carriage.

However, the little guy pressed on the mouth of the black wolf king and pushed it back.
