"Hahaha, Zhaowen Jun is indeed training here!" When Ji Jia saw Ji Jie, he dismounted with a smile and walked over and said, "I have long heard that the general I newly conferred the title of Great Zhou is working very hard to train his subordinates. I also
I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
Ji Jia's words were full of hostility. He glanced at the strange thing standing in the snow, with disdain in his eyes. He thought to himself that this was not military training. It was obviously a game. Doing so many strange things would be useful.
?
"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, so he is not welcome from afar!" Ji Jie's face was expressionless, and the due etiquette was naturally indispensable. He saluted and said: "The Crown Prince has traveled a long distance to get here, what advice do you have?"
The prince looked up at the sky and said slowly and leisurely: "I have nothing to do and want to go hunting. After much thought, your place is suitable for hunting in winter. So I'm here. Mr. Zhaowen doesn't have any objections, right?"
"Haha, although this is my fiefdom, it is also the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are the crown prince and the future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so why not!" Ji Jie felt that things couldn't be simple. If he really wanted to hunt the royal city
There is plenty of space around, so why go so far?
The one who came with the prince was Sima Hui, the captain of the palace guard. This man relied on the prince's favor and was very arrogant. He beat and scolded the officials in the court whenever he wanted. The emperor turned a blind eye to this. Everyone.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Sima Hui did not get off the horse at all, but looked down at Ji Jie and said in a frivolous tone: "Prince, when I got here, I suddenly realized what the point of hunting is. Why don't we see how Zhaowen Jun trains soldiers?
More interesting!”
Ji Jian frowned, wishing to knock him down with a punch. No matter how awesome you are, you are just a captain of the palace guard. No matter the title or title, you are under Lord Zhaowen. What qualifications do you have to sit on a horse and speak.
"What's the point of watching our training? Why don't we all get up and compete!" Ji Jian clenched his fists and said, "I wonder if Lord Sima dares to bring the palace guards to fight with me?"
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Treasurer?" Sima Hui looked like he had just seen Ji Jian, and said pretentiously: "I heard that Mr. Treasurer has fallen into depravity and lived with Lord Zhaowen. It turns out that this is not a rumor, but it is true!"
"You..." Ji Jian said angrily: "Whatever you say, it's better than being a warehouse manager in the royal city where there are more idiots than people!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"I didn't say you were. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that it touched on your pain point?"
The two started to quarrel. Prince Ji Jia had no intention of stopping Sima Hui. Ji Jie could imagine that Sima Hui must have done so under his instruction. Otherwise, how could he be so wanton? If this was the case, of course he would not go.
Stop Ji Jian.
Everyone knows it well, so why bother explaining it.
"Since both of you have this intention, why not compare each other?" The prince acted "magnanimously" as a peacemaker, for fear that others would not know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Ji Jie said with a smile: "I obey my orders! Ji Jian, please stop showing off your words with the idiot. We will see the real results from our men!"
The two of them were quarreling so much that their faces were red. Since the masters on both sides had given orders, they would just do it.
Competitions in this era focus on mutual challenges, that is, one party challenges the other. As for the challenge, it can be anything. As long as you can do something that the person being challenged cannot do, you will win.
The two sides agreed that there would be three wins out of five games, and each person could only fight once. The visitor was the guest, and the guests had priority, so Sima Hui had the final say in the first game.
One of Sima Hui's men stepped forward and said loudly: "I want to challenge Zhao Wenjun's equestrian skills to a horse race in the snow. There is a big tree in the valley in front. Whoever gets there first will win!"
Equestrian is Ji Jie's weak point. Because the weather is getting colder and colder, he has never put riding on the schedule. This is a subject scheduled after the beginning of spring. Even if they have started this training, they cannot be full-time.
The opponent of the palace guard shows off on horseback.
Ji Jian wanted to accept the challenge, but Ji Jie stopped him and said, "You are the winner. If you lose the first battle, just lose. It doesn't matter!"
Ji Jian angrily chopped his feet on the ground and sent a team member who had ridden a horse to compete with him. The result was no suspense at all. When they reached the finish line steadily, there was still half the distance to go.
.
Sima Hui and his gang shouted and celebrated their victory, mocking Ji Jie's people for their incompetence.
I just won one game, I was so happy, Ji Jie didn't take it to heart at all, while Ji Jian and others looked unlucky.
"It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities later!" Ji Jie said with a smile.
The second item was to cross obstacles. Twelve obstacles with a height of more than one meter were placed in a row. Every two obstacles were two feet apart. Ji Jian randomly sent someone up and won easily.
Wen Wen bumped into the fourth obstacle and suffered a bloody head injury.
This time it was Ji Jian and others who cheered loudly. Ji Jia's face was ugly. After the injured man came back, he covered his head and scolded him, "How can you run so well and easily? Why are you such a fool?" He saw Ji Jie.
People finish it easily and think that it is easy to overcome obstacles. Little do they know that if it were him, he would probably lose even more miserably.
The third game was archery, and the palace guards won with a slight advantage. Ji Jie still did not scold the team members who lost the game and continued to encourage them.
The fourth game was about endurance. They jumped into the glacier to see who could last longer. Ji Jian sent a soldier with the strongest endurance. He quickly took off his coat and jumped directly into the biting river water. Sima Hui's men also followed.
Jumped in.
But when we got to the river, we realized that there was no place for people at all. It didn't take long for the man's lips to turn purple, his limbs to be numb from the cold, and his body was already stiff when he was finally pulled up by his companions.
After winning the fourth game, Ji Jian and others cheered loudly.
The prince's face became ugly. He originally wanted to come over and humiliate Ji Jie and Ji Jian, but he didn't expect that after four games, it was a tie. What he brought was the palace guard who was known as the most powerful in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It’s the last game left, and even if we win, it’s a miserable victory, without showing any face at all!
However, no matter what you say, you can't lose. If you lose, you will be embarrassed to see others. Ji Jia said to Sima Hui with a dark face: "You will be in the next game. No matter which one of them fights, you can teach me a good lesson. I will die."
Beat or kill me, I will be responsible for it!"
Sima Hui smiled sinisterly and whispered: "I understand!"
"Who dares to compete with me in martial arts?" Sima Hui shouted loudly. The only person he was afraid of was Ji Jie, but as the master, how could Ji Jie challenge himself? It must be Ji Jian who fought, and he was already worried
Just calculated it.
"I'll do it!" Ji Jian showed his weapon.
Sima Hui fought against him a year ago and narrowly defeated Ji Jian after sixty moves. He has been practicing diligently over the past year and should be able to defeat Ji Jian easily. However, Ji Jian has not been idle in the past few months, and it is still unclear who will win.
Woolen cloth!
"Haha, Mr. Treasurer, don't say I'm bullying you, I'll get off my horse and fight you!" Sima Hui turned over and dismounted. The weapons he used were two copper whips. The one on his left hand weighed twelve kilograms, and the one on his right hand weighed fifteen kilograms.
An ordinary helmet will deform immediately when hit with a whip!
The two got into a stance, exchanged a few moves, and then started fighting with two long swords against two bronze whips. The first twenty moves were evenly matched, and Sima Hui's moves were vicious.
Ji Jian was tit for tat and refused to take a step back.
After fifty moves, Sima Hui's strength was obviously reduced. This was the result of his fierce attack from the beginning. According to his initial thoughts, Ji Jian would not be able to sustain fifty moves under such a strong attack.
.
Who would have thought that Ji Jian became more and more brave as he fought. Not only did the strength of the two long swords in his hands not decrease, but they also became faster. This made him confused. Can a person's strength improve so much in a short period of time? The last time
When he arrived here, it was obvious that he lacked follow-up strength, which led to his defeat.
Ji Jian smiled coldly and whispered: "Sima Hui, there are times when you make mistakes in judgment, just wait to be beaten!"
Sima Hui was immediately furious. Although he got the position of captain of the guard largely because he was favored by the prince, he was not a jobber and he still had some real abilities. If he lost to a person who looked after the warehouse, what would he do in the future?
mix?
"Don't be brave with your words, you haven't won yet!" Sima Hui took a deep breath and swung his whips at an improved speed.
Looking at the situation, Ji Jie knew that Sima Hui was forcibly gathering his internal strength to counterattack. He would not be able to hold on for long, and Ji Jian would definitely win.
"Dang Cang..."
Ji Jian's long sword in his left hand hit Sima Hui's bronze whip hard, and the whip flew away. He quickly picked up the second whip and smashed it towards Ji Jian's head, but he didn't expect that this whip was also knocked away.
go out.
Ji Jian raised his foot and kicked Sima Hui hard on the chest. The kick was so powerful that he took several steps back and sat on the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and it was so bright when it was sprinkled on the snow.
Ji Jian put away his sword and said sarcastically, "Did I show my courage with my words?"
"Pfft..." Sima Hui spat out another mouthful of blood, this time out of anger.
Ji Jie clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Ji Jian fought well! But why don't you know the severity? Look at how hard you hit Master Sima. Master Sima, you are a big shot, you won't be seriously injured by a kick."
I think it’s definitely not the case. It would make people laugh out loud. Lord Sima’s body cannot be so weak!”
Ji Jia originally wanted to get angry, scold Ji Jian for not understanding the seriousness of the matter, and then punish him, but after Ji Jie said such a thing, it was really not easy to punish Ji Jian!
Sima Hui felt so hateful that he tried to stand up but failed. Several of his men rushed over to help him up. Ji Jia's face was covered with black lines, and he said with force: "Zhao Wenjun's men are really extraordinary.
, this prince is impressed!"
"Oh, if the prince said that, how can I be embarrassed!" Ji Jie said angrily: "I wonder if the prince is still interested in hunting. I am willing to accompany you to have fun!"
