166 Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick to the end, nothing.
The next day.
The final round of the martial arts competition will begin at noon today.
Compared with the speed of the third round, this last round will take a little longer.
It lasted about three days in total.
First, the thirty-two people were divided into sixteen groups and fought with force.
Then they are divided into eight groups, four groups, two groups, and the final "battle for the top pick."
The winner will be ranked first in martial arts, and the loser will be ranked second in martial arts.
As for the Wutan flower, it will be selected based on the points of all previous links among the two people who have stopped in the semi-finals. The one with the higher points will be the Wutan flower.
…
Likewise, it was the martial arts arena at the very beginning yesterday.
A spacious and magnificent pavilion.
The flat and boundless military platform.
There are also important viewing platforms manned by countless Daqian sergeants to maintain order.
Today is the last round of martial arts competition, and it is also a "martial arts competition" for all Jinling.
The vast battlefield was almost crowded with people from Jinling City.
On the high platform and pavilion, many dignitaries also came.
The thirty-two martial arts scholars who advance will be divided into sixteen groups by drawing lots.
But in fact, it is still the same as the third round of "drawing lots". The Jinling family is behind it, operating in secret and playing power.
The first draw was conducted by deputy examiner Gu Beiju.
Yan Wulu is "lucky".
In the competition between thirty-two and sixteen, he was competing against a "weak chicken" young man who relied on the power of recommendation. He didn't need to do anything at all and he easily won the competition.
Also entering sixteen are Qin Chechu, Ren Yi, Xia Jingjing, Cen Qianhui, Yuan Che and others.
In the second round of drawing lots, it is unusual for the examiner to be in charge.
After the results came out, Gu Beiju, who was also the examiner, changed his expression drastically.
He said to Yan Wulu, "There is good news and bad news, which one does the prince want to hear first?"
"Good news." Yan Wulu replied.
"The good news is that the few supporters of King Jin in the Jinling family have now been completely exposed."
When Yan Wulu heard this, he already guessed what Gu Beiju meant.
But Gu Beiju continued: "The bad news is that this guy has already made some moves. Your Majesty, you will face Prime Minister Qin's son-in-law, Qin Chechu, in the next competition."
Yan Wulu faced Qin Chechu.
Qin Chechu is also at the upper level among all the martial arts test takers.
However, for Yan Wulu, apart from Ren Yi, the others were simply not enough to watch.
only……
Qin Chechu really has a special status.
"...He is the direct son of the prime minister, and his father is the leader of the Jinling family. If we really defeat him, I'm afraid Prime Minister Qin will not be able to justify it, right?"
Gu Beiju reminded Yan Wulu.
Yan Wulu thought - that's it.
"The prime minister's belly can support a boat."
"...Besides, Prime Minister Qin is full of righteousness. As long as I defeat Qin Chechu in an honest and fair manner, I think Prime Minister Qin will not specifically make things difficult for me, right?"
Yan Wulu said, vowing firmly.
"...I have decided to get engaged to Lingrui in advance and return to the North. There are only eight months left, and I can't delay any more."
Gu Beiju looked at Yan Wulu, and for a moment, he felt that the other person seemed to be emitting light.
Confident men are always the most handsome.
At the same time, he felt a little inexplicably disappointed - the other party had already affectionately called Princess Taiping by her name. It seemed that she really liked her.
Another handsome man left the gay army. Gu Beiju felt it was a pity.
"I wish you all the best in the competition, Your Majesty."
"Thank you."
…
The center of the martial arts field.
Sixteen to eight, the first round of competition.
Yan Wulu faced Qin Chechu.
Qin Chechu was in the early stage of a third-level martial artist. As the legitimate son of the Prime Minister with unique advantages, he had been practicing martial arts for more than 20 years, but he had only reached this level. He was not very talented.
It's even mediocre.
However, Qin Che and Chu Gui persisted and persevered.
He never gave up on his martial arts training like other Jinling gentlemen who were afraid of suffering and suffering.
Hearing the chickens dancing every day is a common thing for Qin Chechu.
It's just a pity that the gap is just a gap, and it cannot be changed by persistence and hard work.
In the battle, Yan Wulu was in a completely dominant position.
Yan Wulu has been deliberately suppressing his own strength, only exerting the strength of a third-level warrior at most, but in the eyes of others, he is already far superior to Qin Chechu.
The battle lasted a little longer.
During this period, Qin Chechu also used three martial arts moves that he had practiced for more than ten years. Those were the three moves that even Yan Wulu was amazed by.
But after these three moves, Yan Wulu was still unscathed, not even the slightest change in his breath.
On the other hand, Qin Chechu was already a little out of breath.
Qin Che knew that he was no longer a match for the other party, but he kept insisting.
Even if you face an enemy that is impossible to defeat, you must go all out and never give up!
Qin Chechu later felt that Yan Wulu was deliberately suppressing his own strength. He guessed that it might be to catch others by surprise in the subsequent competition.
Two swords intertwined.
Qin Chechu was exhausted and had no strength to fight anymore.
He took the opportunity to ask Yan Wulu a few words.
Yan Wulu answered honestly.
He was a little appreciative and a little envious of this talented martial artist who had only been practicing martial arts for a year.
His last request was that Yan Wulu could use all his strength to fight him in the final blow and defeat him.
Yan Wulu was a little stunned...
He knows that the greatest respect for his opponent is to go all out.
But fortunately, Qin Chechu didn't seem to care that he deliberately suppressed his own strength before, nor did he think he was humiliating the other party.
Yan Wulu agreed to the other party.
The final blow from both sides.
The moment the two swords crossed each other, Qin Chechu felt the real threat from an absolutely powerful man!
That was...a feeling he had never felt before.
The sword slipped, and he was convinced of his defeat.
Outside the court, the warriors who observed this moment began to wonder about the true strength of Prince Zhenbei.
But when they searched with their spiritual senses, they found nothing.
But before, Guanyan Wulu's performance was that of a third-level warrior.
It's just that smart people don't believe this...
A tall figure stood up and left from the audience.
He knew that Yan Wulu had a high-level magic weapon on him, and if he continued to look here, he would not be able to observe the other party's true strength.
…
After Yan Wulu advanced through the competition.
Qin Chechu found him privately.
Qin Chechu said that he had an apology and should say it to Yan Wulu.
Yan Wulu said, "...Is this apology for the Jianghu Order who assassinated me some time ago?"
Qin Chechu was shocked when he heard this.
He always thought that the other party didn't know who issued this order.
Yan Wulu said that at first there were indeed suspicions about the Wulin League and other Jianghu people, but later, when they arrived in Jinling and gradually sorted out the whole process, they found traces of the Prime Minister's Mansion in it.
"Moreover, Mr. Qin, you were betrayed by your subordinates. The disciples who planned this Jianghu Order for you deliberately left some clues, allowing Wulu to accurately target the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"...However, Wu Lu knew that Mr. Qin was a good and upright person, and he got along very well with Wu Lu in private. Therefore, after Mr. Qin told me that he would intervene in this matter, I never said anything again.
Never mind that."
Qin Chechu suddenly realized it and regretted it.
Unexpectedly, Yi Junhan deliberately provoked a confrontation between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhenbei Palace!
"...That guy is actually plotting against me!"
Qin Chechu said harshly.
For a moment, I originally felt a little guilty about my sister Qin Jing kicking him out, but now I only feel contempt for this person.
Qin Chechu bowed his hands and apologized to Yan Wulu again and again.
Yan Wulu also helped him up and said - "Master Qin was just deceived by a traitor. You should not be blamed."
Qin Chechu left Yan Wulu's resting loft.
Walk through the gate.
Qin Shumian, Nan Chuanyue and others were heading towards Yan Wulu's attic. They came to cheer for Yan Wulu.
Qin Chechu and Qin Shumian passed each other.
Qin Chechu suddenly stopped.
He had only vaguely met his half-sister a few times, mostly when he was a child.
Because the father does not like the younger sister and does not allow her to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Some time ago, I heard that my younger sister Qin Shumian was kidnapped by bandits. Qin Chechu was the only one in the Prime Minister's Mansion who took the guards of the house to protect the courtyard and went to find and save people.
Of course, nothing was found in the end, only the dead bodies of some bandits.
Come to think of it, my little sister might have been rescued by some heroes.
He took the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion out privately. For this reason, Qin Chechu was punished by his father Qin Shuzheng to be locked up in the study and copy scriptures.
Qin Shuzheng really hated Qin Shumian.
However, Qin Chechu felt that even though his little sister's mother was a dancer and she still had to resort to unscrupulous means to get into her father's bed, she was still his little sister after all.
As an elder brother, it was natural for him to save her.
He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
…
Qin Chechu suddenly turned around and looked back.
He confirmed again and again that the girl, in terms of facial features, body shape and appearance, was his little sister Qin Shumian! There was absolutely no way she could be wrong!
He was about to stop the other party and get to know him.
But as soon as Qin Chechu took two steps, he was suddenly approached by a burst of fragrance and felt like someone was pulling the sleeves of his brocade clothes.
Qin Chechu looked back, his eyes widened slightly, "Sister, are you here too?"
"Eldest sister, I just saw my little sister..."
"I know." Qin Jing said coldly, interrupting Qin Chechu's unfinished words. "...First of all, she is not our little sister. My father never recognized her as a member of the Qin family."
"...Secondly, please be sensible first. That woman is now with Prince Zhenbei. Don't be like last time, when her head got hot and she even issued a 'Jianghu Order'."
Qin Jing's words always seemed to come from the most rational starting point.
Qin Chechu felt as if his fire was extinguished by the other party's words... Especially when the "Jianghu Order" was mentioned, he had no ability to refute at all.
He could only let Qin Jing take her away to the resting attic of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Sometimes, Qin Chechu keeps thinking, is he really his father's biological son?
Why, you didn’t inherit even a single bit of your father’s wisdom?
The eldest sister, Qin Jing, is like her father's daughter. She always remains calm and natural. She has learned everything quickly since she was a child and has gained almost all reputations.
Unlike Qin Chechu, who was said by his husband to be a "raw jade that needs a lot of polishing."
Qin Chechu must also know whether "Pu Yu" is true or not.
But on the point that "it needs more polishing", Qin Chechu believed that the gentleman was not lying.
…
Sixteen advanced to eight, second round of competition. Ren Yi advanced.
Sixteen to eight, fifth round of competition. Cen Qianhui advanced.
Sixteen to eight, seventh round of competition. Xia Jingjing advanced.
Sixteen to eight, the eighth round of competition...
Something happened and Yuan Che gave up.
Her reason is unbelievable - she is not a martial artist.
This is what Gu Beiju later told Yan Wulu privately.
Yuan Che abstained from voting at the time and did not announce her real reasons.
It is very strange that the only daughter of Nanzhu Kingdom general Yuan Tiankai is not capable of martial arts.
What's even stranger and more ironic is that it was the only daughter of a general from the Jinling family who was not good at martial arts, who made it all the way to the top sixteen in the Daqian martial arts competition.
The top 16 in a dynasty's martial arts competitions do not know martial arts.
If this spreads out, I think even the most ironic literary work "The Scholars" in Jixia Academy will be incomparable.
…
Today's martial arts competition has come to an end.
The martial arts examinees and the audience went back one after another.
Xia Jingjing took Ren Yi to find Yan Wulu and thanked him for his help yesterday.
Yan Wulu said that there was no need to thank him, it was just a transaction of equal value.
Ren Yi seemed to be dissatisfied with Yan Wulu's cold and arrogant attitude. After all, Xia Jingjing had always been the apple of their eye that they carefully protected.
Xia Jingjing was okay, she was used to Yan Wulu's coldness.
Yan Wulu took Qin Shumian, Nan Chuanyue and others back.
During this period, Qin Shumian always felt that someone's eyes seemed to be always on her... which was strange.
Attic.
Qin Jing and Qin Chechu watched Yan's carriage gradually go away.
They were accompanied by servants who had served the second lady Qin Shumian.
It was Qin Jing who specially called her. She didn't want to find out in the end that it was an error.
The servants looked at the attic several times and confirmed again and again - that girl is the second young lady Qin Shumian!
…
The next day.
There are twice as many people in the martial arts examination room today than yesterday.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, the new "Wu Zhuangyuan" of Daqian will be competed for today.
And if there is any delay, the competition will be extended to tomorrow.
In the eight-to-four competition.
Yan Wulu, Ren Yi, Xia Jingjing and Cen Qianhui advanced.
Four to two semi-finals.
Draw lots.
Maybe it was the Jinling family who were playing tricks, or maybe it was a coincidence.
Ren Yi and Xia Jingjing, brother and sister, finally met.
Yan Wulu faced off against Cen Qianhui.
…
In the first round of competition, Ren Yi faced Xia Jingjing.
Ren Yi was obviously the strongest martial arts test taker, but he lost to Xia Jingjing.
In this regard, Yan Wulu, who was watching the battle from the attic, said——
"Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick it until the end, and there will be nothing left."
