Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wind and Shu Mountain, the Civil and Military Families
This person actually defeated Leng Zhuofei of my Jiangnan Academy, and the sword fell to the ground, which can be said to be a complete victory.
Leng Zhuofei's swordsmanship, Fan Ruoqi has seen it, when he was in the freshman qualifying match, he lost to him, Leng Zhuofei is the leader of the younger generation of Jiangnan Academy, and he is also the first master among the freshmen of Jiangnan Academy this year.
It has long been rumored that this Gu Bai Yu is not only extraordinary, but also has outstanding martial arts, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation when he sees it today.
This Miss Fan family has a very high spirit, and ordinary ordinary men can't get into her eyes at all. Gu Baiyu's superb martial arts and good appearance have gradually won Fan Ruoqi's favor, and I heard that Prime Minister Gu Jingxiu is his father's political enemy, and his son doesn't look so annoying.
The heart of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is so strange, the estrangement of the previous generation can't stop the curiosity of the next generation in the slightest, but has a little favorite, and this kind of affection is more mysterious and intense.
This Fan Hongzhang is a famous talent in Nanyong, in his early years, he moved the Nanyong literary circle with his articles and poems, and after middle age, he became a generation of Confucianism, and he was a model for the world's readers. Although Gu Jingxiu is a prime minister, his reputation in the hearts of scholars is not as good as Fan Hongzhang.
The prime minister can be once every few years, but the talent who can write a splendid article is rare in a hundred years.
Nanyong ruled the country with literature, and although he respected the literati, Emperor Ningzong was also a famous poet of poetry, calligraphy and painting.
Once Ning Zong feasted the ministers, and when the wine was full, Ning Zong asked the minister: "Tang has Li Bai's talent and is famous all over the world, who can compare to Li Taibai in my dynasty?"
The minister mentioned a few names, Ning Zong shook his head, including Gu Jingxiu, when someone mentioned Fan Hongzhang's name, Ning Zong had a happy face, and laughed heartily, "The two humanities are quite similar, Bai Youzhang is talented, and Wu Zhang's learning." ”
The Tang Dynasty was the peak of the Chinese Dynasty, and Tang Xuanzong in the Li Bai period created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, which belonged to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
Ning Zong's comparison, although he showed that his cultural and martial arts were comparable to Tang Xuanzong, and expressed his ambition and heroism, but he preferred Fan Hongzhang's talent and learning, which can be seen.
Although he is a great Confucian, Fan Hongzhang is also quite open-minded to his children, Fan Ruoqi has been lively, smart, and good at swordsmanship since he was a child. Therefore, Fan Ruoqi was sent to study at Jiangnan Academy.
This Jiangnan Academy is different from Songyang Sword Mansion and West Lake Sword Academy, the purpose of running a school is to "focus on learning, supplemented by martial arts", so many years have passed, despite the tension between Songyang Sword Mansion and West Lake Sword Academy, Jiangnan Academy has always been transcendent, and seems to be deliberately avoiding the dragon and tiger fight between Songyang Sword Mansion and West Lake Sword Academy.
This may be the reason why Fan Hongzhang sent Fan Ruoqi to study at Jiangnan Academy, not wanting his daughter to get involved in senseless disputes.
Despite this, Jiangnan Academy participates in the West Lake Sword Debate every year, ranking in the top eight in Nanyong, which is also a miracle.
"In the fourth game, Su Zhanhao of Beiyan Academy played against Long Qingyun of Songyang Sword Mansion. ”
As soon as the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs announced the list, the crowd erupted in warm applause.
Hearing the crowd shake like this, the applause was thunderous. The graceful Tuoba Xi swayed his willow waist slightly, applauding desperately, and the slender waist held by Ying Ying was even more graceful.
But this applause was not for Long Qingyun, Long Qingyun was nameless at this time, even if there was applause, it was for Songyang Sword Mansion.
At this time, a heroic young man walked on the stage, under the sunlight, the figure of the great man looked even taller, and the voices in the crowd were higher and higher, and the popularity of Gu Baiyu's appearance was indistinguishable.
This person is Su Zhanhao from Beiyan Academy in Chongqing Prefecture, the second son of Su Wanting, the "Marquis of Zhenyuan", who was about 20 years old, and killed the enemy with his father at the age of 18, and had two years of military experience, and later entered Beiyan Academy to study.
Su Zhanhao's skin is bronzed, his body is fierce, his resolute face is as handsome as a knife, and his body exudes heroic masculinity.
In this year's West Lake Sword, Gu Baiyu and Su Zhanhao, who had the highest call to win the championship, were born in a civil and military family, Gu Baiyu was the son of Gu Jingxiu, the current prime minister, and Su Zhanhao's father was Su Wanting, the "Marquis of Zhenyuan".
These two families are the one of Nanyong's literature and martial arts, which can be called the pillars of the imperial court, guarding Nanyong's national ancestry.
During the reign of Guangzong, Su Zhanhao's great-grandfather Su Bingkun won the Wukui of the West Lake Sword, breaking the monopoly of the Songyang Sword Mansion and the West Lake Sword Academy in the first place in the West Lake Theory. Later, because of his outstanding military achievements, he was made a marquis by Nanyong and became a figure in the annals of the Nanyong Dynasty.
Although Su Wanting is the "Marquis of Zhenyuan" of Nanyong, this is hereditary from the ancestors, and according to the regulations of Nanyong, it can only be downgraded to one level of hereditary.
When he was young, Su Wanting participated in the West Lake sword, but unfortunately he fell into the sand and returned in a huff, and later worked hard to fight on the battlefield, fortunately he did not disgrace the name of the military family, even so, he couldn't help but regret it.
Su Zhanhao has been talented since he was a child, visited famous teachers, studied diligently, and what is even more rare is that he studied under Pei Zhaoxi, the "famous sword of Shushan", at the age of fifteen.
Pei Zhaoxi, one of the top ten masters of Nanyong, is said to have 36 styles of "Shushan Famous Sword", which has long been perfected. "Shushan Famous Sword" is powerful and far away from the land of Wuyue, so it is even more mysterious.
The eldest prince Yongtan came to the West Lake sword scene today, a big reason is to personally recruit this Su Zhanhao, Yongtan is talented, after getting the support of Prime Minister Gu Jingxiu, his confidence has doubled, but he is not satisfied with this, if he can get the support of the Su family of the military family, it is a foolproof strategy.
As the leader of the younger generation of the Su family, Su Zhanhao will be at the helm of the Su family in the future, how important his attitude is, this is self-explanatory.
Bashu, in the southwestern borderland, bordering Dali and Tubo, is located in the military frontier, and Chongqing and Tongchuan are located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and their strategic position is extremely prominent.
Moreover, Bashu can become an independent country, and before the Dayong conquest, it was the "Hou Shu" dynasty.
Recovering the Revival Clan is equivalent to building the foundation of Bashu; if it fails, at least the Su Clan will not be an enemy of itself.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince Yongtan had a solemn face, staring at the changes in the martial arts arena.
As soon as he started, Su Zhanhao showed the heroic momentum of the military family, and the thirty-six volleys of the "Shushan Famous Sword" were stabbed in the air, clean and neat, and domineering.
Long Qingyun has fought with master swordsmen such as Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu, and the opponent's swordsmanship is light and elegant, ever-changing. However, this Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship is condensed and powerful, with sharp moves, without dragging mud and water, almost all of them are real moves, and there are very few false moves.
Long Qingyun no longer dodged, and picked up the sword trick of "Blue Wave Liuyun Sword", and waved the Longquan Sword in his hand to meet Su Zhanhao's "Shushan Famous Sword" thirty-six styles.
"......Snort" after a screeching sound.
"Wow!" Long Qingyun took three steps back, and the Longquan Sword in his hand almost flew away.
Su Zhanhao shook his body and stood firmly.
There wasn't much shock in the crowd, and people seemed to think that Long Qingyun took three steps back, which was too normal. Even if it is a player sent by the Songyang Sword Mansion, it makes no difference.
Because Su Zhanhao is too dazzling, he has galloped across the battlefield in the past two years, and has become a captain from an ordinary soldier with his military merits.
This glory requires countless horse leather shrouds and battlefield battles to be earned. When the two armies faced each other, Su Zhanhao liked to wear a white armor, and took the enemy's head among tens of thousands of people, and won the nickname of "white-robed young general".
This kind of experience and courage is something that many martial artists do not have, so Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship has a lot less fancy movements, removing the false and retaining the true, which is more practical, so it is more powerful.
The way of martial arts, pay attention to experience and tempering, countless battles of life and death on the battlefield, this is the best tempering, so Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship has reached the point of perfection.
Long Qingyun's heart tightened, and he felt a huge pressure for the first time, even when he faced off with swordsman masters such as Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu, he didn't have this sense of oppression.
Of course, this does not mean that Su Zhanhao's swordsmanship is above Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu, this is of course Mu Yezi and Xiao Yuliu, with the respect of the elders, and there is no humility to the younger generations, and more importantly, Su Zhanhao has been tempered by the field, and his moves are more concise and practical.
"Fast, accurate, and ruthless" are its characteristics.
Mo Tianyu in the stands and Bai Yunqi, Tuoba Xi and others in the crowd also looked sad when they saw this, hoping for a miracle.
Duan Wang Yong Ruyu did not appear in great surprise, as if Long Qingyun was beaten down, it was as if he was expecting, his face was briefly surprised, and he regained his calm in an instant.
Yong Ruyu is so calm, also because Lei Tianhan, the backup, just now showed the strong strength of the "shocking one".
Murong Bai next to Mo Tianyu sat on a pear blossom wooden chair, dressed in a gray robe, and his face was full of shock, and he was worried:
"This Su Zhanhao, at a young age, has such a strong swordsmanship, this is the result of countless battles of life and death, although Bai Yu is very talented, and has the careful guidance of Gu Jianqiu and me, two swordsmanship masters, but lacks long-term tempering, I am afraid that he may not be Su Zhanhao's opponent. ”
Murong Bai thought of this with a look of regret, looked at Mo Tianyu beside him, and thought: "Even if I can't get the first place in the West Lake Sword Academy, it won't be your turn, and your Songyang Sword Mansion can only stop at the top four." ”
Fan Ruoqi, who has always been arrogant, actually blinked with big eyes, expecting Long Qingyun to counterattack, originally thought that the player representing Songyang Sword Mansion in the West Lake Sword Debate was Luo Ziqian, but how could it be this Long Qingyun.
Gu Baiyu and Luo Ziqian are the leaders of the younger generation in Lin'an City, and among the children of the official family, they can be said to be the two most outstanding. Of course, Fan Ruoqi knew that Luo Ziqian avoided Gu Baiyu and entered the Songyang Sword Mansion in order to obtain the right to participate in the West Lake Sword Debate.
This Long Qingyun can actually defeat Luo Ziqian, such an unbelievable, Fan Ruoqi suddenly became a little more curious about Long Qingyun, this person is long, handsome and resolute, but the Xiao Shuxuan on his body has a kind of calmness beyond his age.
Long Qingyun's dusty temperament left an indelible impression on Fan Ruoqi, like a brand deeply imprinted in her heart, which could not disappear for a long time, vague, but it seemed to be clear, dreamlike, bitter and sweet, it was an indescribable feeling.
At this time, Fan Ruoqi was actually looking forward to a miracle on the martial arts field, and Long Qingyun once again regained his dusty look.
The girl's expectant eyes were more anticipating, and her clear eyes were filled with an intoxicating smile.
