Chapter 129: The Secret Behind the Military Examination (2)
"Haha, the people of Mount Paektu are indeed difficult to deal with, but if you knew that this martial arts examination was related to Marquis Zhongwu in the imperial court, you probably wouldn't think so. ()"
The old elder smiled slightly and did not care about Shi Zhongye's attitude.
"What?!"
Shi Zhongye was shocked, with a look of shock in his eyes:
"Marquis Zhongwu? The martial arts examination is the military examination, and Zhongwuhou is Zhongwuhou. How can the martial arts examination be related to Zhongwuhou?"
"Hahaha, what if I told you that the leader of this martial arts examination was provided by Marquis Zhongwu. In addition to the elixirs and exercises, he also provided ten kilograms of the Ten Thousand Years Copper Mother?"
The old elder twirled his beard and said with a smile.
"Buzz!"
It was like being struck by a thunderbolt. Shi Zhongye had extremely high vision. A person who had never been moved by small favors was shocked when he heard about the "Ten Thousand Categories of Bronze Mother".
"Elder, are you sure?"
In just a moment, Shi Zhongye calmed down and had a serious look on his face. His character is the kind of person who can quickly enter the state as long as he smells benefit.
Ten thousand kilograms of copper mother, this is not a small number. It is enough to create a powerful large-scale top-level bronze blood magic weapon.
In this era when black iron and blood magic weapons are not popular, the significance of the ten-thousand-pound copper mother can be imagined. Even for a family like the Shi family, this is a huge and important wealth.
Shi Zhongye is almost certain that this 100,000-pound copper mother is definitely an additional reward for the martial arts examination.
"Hahaha, now you should understand why I summoned you, right?"
The old elder smiled and nodded with satisfaction. Apparently he was very satisfied with Shi Zhongye's reaction.
"According to what I know, this year the leaders of martial arts in each county in Taiyuan Continent will receive an additional 100 kilograms of copper mother. If the standard is lower, it will be three to five small bronze blood magic weapons. Even if it is against
For our wealthy family, this is also a very important treasure."
The old elder paused and said:
"However, if it is just like this, it is not enough to attract disciples from Mount Paekou and Heishuiya to come to Langya City to participate in the martial arts examination. There is something else that attracts disciples from the five holy places."
"What's up?"
Shi Zhongye asked.
Disciples from Baitoushan and Heishuiya appeared in this year's martial arts examination in Langya County at the same time, although this is not too surprising.
But this year is obviously the first time on this scale.
Shi Zhongye didn't think about it deeply at first, but now that the family elders told him, there are obviously other reasons.
"Marquis Zhongwu was born in Taiyuan Continent. You must also know what his identity is. Although those who can become Marquis of Wu are basically at the level of Martial Saints. However, there are also three, six or nine levels of Martial Saints. In the imperial court, those who can compete with Zhongwu
There are only a handful of people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with their ministers."
"Although Baektu Mountain and Heishuiya are known to have many martial saints, there are really not many who can reach the level of Zhongwuhou. And in terms of influence, none of them."
The old elder sat cross-legged on the ground. He glanced at Shi Zhongye and showed a rare serious expression:
"This is not because of the transcendent status of Marquis Zhongwu, but because of the person standing behind Marquis Zhongwu. The three giants of the military, war, destruction, and killing, Marquis Zhongwu is the confidant of the war military governor."
The matter involved big figures in the imperial capital, especially the three giants of the military. Shi Zhongye finally understood why the elder summoned him in the family ancestral temple.
Compared with the military giants of the Han Dynasty, existences like the Shi family are just insignificant small families. And if they want to get information about these big shots, the "small families" must pay a high price.
"The war military governor has a high position with great military achievements. He is in charge of the mobilization of the army and horses in the world. Even a royal relative like King Taiyuan has to show courtesy to him. So why can Zhongwuhou intervene in the imperial examination this time?
You should also understand the martial arts examination."
The old elder said.
"But why did Marquis Zhongwu do this?"
Shi Zhongye changed his posture and frowned. He had contact with many distinguished disciples of the continental and imperial capitals, and knew unnecessary secrets.
A person like this at the level of a military commander has a lot of things to do every day. Moreover, the higher the realm, the higher the horizon, and he will not look down on anyone easily.
It is even more impossible to have feelings for just a few martial arts scholars.
——The realm of such a big shot is too high.
"Oh, this is the key to why I want you to compete for the leadership of Wu Xiucai. Zhongwu Hou is extremely powerful in martial arts and pursues the war military governor. He is loyal and die-hard, so he is deeply valued. However, the facts are unpredictable, and a battle not long ago
, Marquis Zhongwu unexpectedly encountered a powerful enemy, and all his left and right arms and legs fell, and his men were almost completely injured, and his strength was greatly reduced."
"In a short period of time, Marquis Zhongwu even faced the situation where he could not give orders and had no one available. For this reason, Marquis Zhongwu finally began to realize the problem of talent cultivation that had been ignored in the past."
The old elder glanced at Shi Zhongye and saw that he was listening seriously, and then said:
"Hou Zhongwu himself was born in our Taiyuan Continent, so the selection of talents this time will naturally come from our Taiyuan zhou mansion. There are many treasures for people like Zhongwu Hou, and a ten thousand kilograms of copper mother is just a drop in the bucket. The real sweetness is still there.
Behind."
Shi Zhongzhong clearly understood that since Marquis Zhongwu wanted to cultivate his confidants, it was naturally impossible for him to just take such a small action. A true confidant must be cultivated step by step. Only in this way can he be trusted.
In the Han Dynasty, many well-established noble families and aristocratic families did this.
"According to the family's investigation from the imperial capital, Marquis Chungwu needs a total of two confidants, and he happens to have the appointment quota of two generals!... Hahaha, you understand. The reason why the Five Holy Lands Paektu Mountain and Heisuiya are right
This time the martial arts examination is very focused and determined to win, and what is important is not the name of Wu Xiucai, but the quota of these two generals - generals with real power!"
"Getting close to Marquis Zhongwu is the same as getting close to the military governor of the war. It's the same as getting close to the core of power of the Han Dynasty... This is the true meaning of this martial arts examination. Nakano, it doesn't matter if you lose in Tianshui County, it has been delayed for three years.
It doesn’t matter, this time is your real opportunity. Whether it’s for yourself or for the family, you must seize this opportunity no matter what!”
At the end of the sentence, the old elder stretched out his skinny palm and patted Shi Zhongye's shoulder hard, with a look of high hopes. The Shi family's wealthy family has already succeeded in what they should do, and those who have not done so will basically not be able to do so.
Now there is only one person left who can be of great use, Shi Zhongno.
"Boom!"
Shi Zhong's ambitions were rising and falling, and there was thunder in his mind. He never thought that this time the martial arts examination would have such a background.
The elder's words were like a rock thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples all over the sky. Shi Zhongye originally did not have much requirements for this martial arts examination, as long as he obtained the title of Wu Xiusheng.
But now, something else is growing in Shi Zhongye's heart, as unstoppable as weeds.
That kind of thing is called ambition!
"Is there any way?"
Shi Zhongye raised his head and said with shining eyes.
There are many secrets hidden in the family. Shi Zhongye knew that when the elder summoned him in the ancestral temple, it was not just as simple as telling him the news.
"good!"
The old elder nodded, and his wrinkled face slowly stretched inch by inch, turning into a smile. Before Shi Zhongye could react, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and the old elder in front of him had already stabbed something into his own body.
Body.
With Shi Zhongye's strength, he was completely unable to resist.
Shi Zhongye felt a pain in his body and could not move immediately. Only an old voice that seemed far away echoed in his ears:
"Storing one's own blood into other people's bodies is just what a fool does. It insults others and insults oneself. These golden needles penetrate into the major points of your body and can stimulate your energy. Even that
What the king has seen is impeccable. This is real power that belongs to you, and no one can say anything. This is the foundation of our wealthy family."
"Remember, wait until the last moment, pull out the golden needle, activate your potential, and defeat the White Giant Deer, and you will get what you want!..."
…
The Martial Palace was bustling with people, and the excitement was no worse than the previous day.
Although the riot last night spread throughout the city, in the Martial Palace, the Martial Arts Examination still occupies the greatest attention.
The moment Yang Ji stepped into the hall, he attracted almost everyone's attention. Since defeating Zhou Qun yesterday, Yang Ji has become the focus of everyone's attention. There are even legends that last night, Yang Ji also had a fight with the fierce man disguised as
They fought against the evil prince of Cao Dian.
Now Yang Ji is already a strong candidate to be the leader of the martial arts examination.
Yang Ji looked calm and glanced around, quickly spotting Shi Zhongye, Bai Julu, and the other nine competitors in the crowd.
"Only the last few games are left."
A thought flashed through Yang Ji's mind. After experiencing the events of the past few days, Yang Ji's level has improved and he has become much less optimistic about the martial arts examination.
This is not to say that Yang Ji doesn't care, but that there are not many people worthy of his care.
"Yang Ji, what rewards do you think the court will give you for this martial arts examination?"
Chen Zhu suddenly smiled and said beside him.
"How do I know this?"
Yang Ji came back to his senses and laughed. He didn't expect Chen Zhu to ask this question.
"Haha, guess what. Scholar-level martial arts examination rewards are usually quite good."
Chen Zhuda is so funny.
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of other Black Sword Sect disciples around. Everyone was very interested and joined in the encouragement. In every martial arts examination, the final reward of the imperial court is something that all candidates are interested in.
However, this kind of thing will not be announced until the end of the martial arts examination, so it is a big gimmick every year and attracts heated discussions among many people.
Yang Ji just felt it was funny. But maybe he finally entered the finals and felt relaxed. Being so encouraged by everyone, he also felt a little curious in his heart.
The things awarded by the imperial court in the martial arts examinations every year are very precious, even for many sects with abundant resources. They are rare treasures. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
