Her beautiful eyes widened and she looked at the ceiling, trying to move Qin Yun away, but found that he was hugging her tightly and couldn't get away no matter what.
She frowned slightly, but had no choice but to give up, so as not to wake up Qin Yun. The Dog Emperor was getting excited again and would not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
Looking at Qin Yun's angular profile, she fell into silence.
In front of this enemy whom I hated so much, I actually felt a little twisted love, or appreciation, for him.
Pei Yao was in pain, with tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
Finally, she bit her red lip and suppressed those emotions she shouldn't have.
Sleepless all night.
The next day, Qin Yun woke up.
Pei Yao made a decision and wanted to go to Yingcheng to see her clan brothers.
Without saying a word, Qin Yun immediately ordered He Xiu to lead three thousand armored men to escort Pei Yao to the camp.
When she was about to board the carriage, Pei Yao wore a veil and walked slowly, preparing to get up.
"etc."
Qin Yun suddenly stopped her, strode forward, and quickly covered her delicate body with one of his dragon robes.
"The wind in the camp is strong and the journey is long. Don't catch the wind and cold. I'll be waiting for your return in the imperial capital."
The tone was light and without any flattery, as if they were a couple who had been married for many years.
Pei Yao's eyes were complicated, she nodded slightly, then said a blessing, got on the carriage and left.
Qin Yun watched the convoy leave.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qi, the Minister of Punishment, has asked for an audience, and he has also brought several old gentlemen from outside the palace." Xi Gongzheng said.
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "This old guy, did you do things so quickly this time?"
"Let's go, take him to the imperial study room."
Royal study room.
Qi Yong looked like he hadn't slept all night, his old face looked dissatisfied and tired, and the wrinkles were squeezed together.
"Your Majesty, I was brought here according to your order. I can guarantee that there is no leakage of any information."
Qin Yun glanced at the three old gentlemen who were kneeling on the ground in fear, said yes, and then asked Eunuch Xi to give Qi Yong a seat.
"Don't be afraid, you three. I'm not a man-eating monster. I invite you in this time because I need your help with something."
An old gentleman, with few teeth left, raised his hands and said excitedly: "Your Majesty is serious. It is an honor for us scholars to serve the emperor."
Qin Yun didn't say anything nonsense, took out the note and handed it to the three of them personally.
"I want you to copy the exact same font as above."
"Also, keep this note confidential."
"After this is accomplished, I will give you a stack of books from the Imperial Study Room!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the three old gentlemen instantly glowed with green light!
They are all people who have read books all their lives. They are only interested in books. If they can get the books given by His Majesty, they can go without eating for three days and three nights!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"We will fulfill our mission."
The three of them knelt down and worshiped. After briefly looking at the note, they felt that it was not difficult.
Qin Yun smiled with satisfaction. These three old men were all private school teachers or calligraphy masters in the imperial capital. It should not be difficult to copy the nine-pointed image of this note.
"Go, take the three gentlemen down, find an empty room, have pens, ink, paper and inkstones ready, and be ready to serve them."
"yes!"
Not long after, Qin Yun called for Zhao Heng, the Minister of War, and asked about the "martial arts examination".
"Your Majesty, the matter of the martial arts examination has been announced to the world a long time ago, and now the imperial government office has received thousands of registrations."
"Coupled with the lists submitted by each state government, there are over 10,000 people."
"Now, the entire Ministry of War is working hard to screen the list and eliminate some good and bad personnel, and then His Majesty will set a date to open the martial arts arena." Zhao Heng knelt on the ground and said.
Qin Yun nodded, tapped the table with his fingers, and suddenly said: "Out of more than ten thousand people, how many are members of aristocratic families, royal family members, or nobles?"
Zhao Heng looked up at him and said hesitantly: "Most of them are nobles, but there are also people from poor families."
Qin Yun frowned, slightly unhappy: "The person I want to pick as the top martial artist doesn't care about his background or identity. Don't you know that?"
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Heng knelt down in fear and explained: "The Thirteen Daxia Road has various state capitals along the way. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. In some places, news of military exercises cannot even be transmitted."
"In addition, many children from poor families do not choose to come to the imperial capital because they do not have travel difficulties..."
"Moreover, I have been carefully screening recently and found that many children from poor families come to participate in the martial arts competitions. Most of them are rough people and know nothing about the art of war and how to lead an army."
"It's true..." Zhao Heng glanced at Qin Yun tentatively: "It's really hard to choose!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun sighed.
In the environment of ancient times, it seemed that it was more difficult to achieve fair selection in the world than to reach the sky.
"So be it."
"According to my decree, in this martial arts examination, in addition to the number one scholar, there will also be one second and third best. In addition, twenty outstanding young people will be selected. They will be put into important use in the army and awarded the title of seventh-grade captain."
"With more quotas, it may be more able to stimulate people's desire to participate."
Zhao Heng nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and continued to explain: "When reviewing the list, pay special attention to whether the family background is innocent, especially don't let anyone with bad intentions sneak in, do you understand?"
Zhao Heng's expression turned serious and he immediately said: "It's your Majesty, I understand."
"Well, let's set the time for August temporarily. Your Ministry of War will be responsible for the first two rounds of review, and I will personally check the final round." Qin Yundao said.
Zhao Heng nodded again: "It's Your Majesty!"
"Go ahead."
Qin Yun waved his hand and read the memorial attentively.
Zhao Heng quietly withdrew, leaving only a few maids fanning themselves in the imperial study, and Eunuch Xi.
Qin Yun picked up a stack of scrolls and read them with interest.
Not long ago, when he went to court, Wei Zheng took the lead in asking him to take in concubines, fill the harem, breed dragons, and prepare for the extension of Daxia, and he agreed.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, a list of names and this picture were submitted.
It uses extremely superb painting skills to outline portraits of beauties from all over the world.
Qin Yun couldn't put it down the first picture scroll.
The face is delicate and the figure is like a willow, which is lifelike in the painting, giving a feeling of looking back and smiling.
This woman's ancestral home, age, and basic information were filled in very clearly.
He muttered to himself: "Damn it, it's so exciting for the emperor to choose his concubine. It's just like when I went to the nightclub to choose beauties in my previous life. No... no, compared with these innocent classical beauties, those women in my previous life are simply worthless!"
He looked at each one one by one. Some of the beauties on the scrolls could even make Qin Yun salivate!
Some have long legs, some are beautiful, some are cool, some have their toes bowed down...all kinds of colors!
When his eyes saw the last picture scroll, he was completely shocked!
This woman clearly outclasses all the beauties in front of her, and she’s not even on the same level!
The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like autumn waves, and there is a special charm on the extremely beautiful face, the kind that can be remembered for a lifetime by just one glance!
Her hair is slightly bunched, her clothes are as beautiful as snow, she is so simple that she doesn't even put on rouge, but she is naturally beautiful, and her skin can be broken by a blow!
She also holds a sword in her hand, which adds a bit of heroism to the feminine beauty!
The scroll seems to have come alive.
"Who is this woman?!" Qin Yun clutched the scroll tightly, his eyes were stunning, and he couldn't hide his excitement when he spoke!
His heart was moved. He wanted to tie this woman back!
Hearing the sound, Mr. Feng subconsciously raised his head and looked over. When he saw the beauty in the scroll in Qin Yun's hand, even his expression quickly became strange.
