Qin Yun was dissatisfied and said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Liu Ziyi's face turned pale, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."
Qin Yun looked at him with disdain and reprimanded him in public: "As soon as the drum sounds, the competition begins. Is this called a sneak attack by Yan Zhong?"
"Your son underestimated the enemy and suffered a small loss. Who is to blame? Mr. Liu, did your mouth heal too quickly from the last injury and forgot about the pain?"
Hearing this, Liu Ziyi's old face looked ugly, as if he had eaten shit. Especially among the crowd of officials, there were some slight jeers, which made his face even more dull.
Qin Yun ignored the old guy and concentrated on watching the competition.
I saw the two of them fighting fiercely, and it felt like they were evenly matched and it was getting intense.
Liu Mang, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, soared into the air, made a sharp arc with his legs and hit Yan Zhong's neck hard.
Bang! Yan Zhong put his hands together to block the kick. His legs stood on the ground like stone pillars, motionless.
At this time, Liu Mang finally put away his contempt, because Yan Zhong's power was far superior to him.
He glanced sideways and caught a glimpse of the weapons on the knife rest. He pulled away and grabbed a spear!
In martial arts competitions, weapons can be used casually, but they cannot injure people's lives.
Yan Zhong roared, with a hint of bravery in his eyes, and rushed out, making a mountain hugging seal, and hitting Liu Mang's chest with his shoulder as fast as possible.
boom!
Liu Mang felt severe pain in his chest. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground in a panic. He just missed falling out of the competition area.
Seeing this, Qin Yun smiled happily and looked at Wang Wei and others aside.
I saw the two of them looking at each other with ugly eyes, their brows furrowed, and they were already starting to feel a little worried.
"Your Majesty, this boy is born with supernatural power, but Liu Mang is not good at learning, so he will lose." Feng Lao said softly in his ear at this time, his cloudy eyes were full of wisdom, and he had seen through the two men's falsehoods.
Qin Yun was in a good mood and said to Wang Wei and Wang with a smile: "Hahaha, dear dears, it seems you are the ones who are making the mistake!"
"Your Majesty, the competition is not over yet, and it is not certain who will win or lose." Wang Wei replied with a gloomy face.
The words just fell.
Then slap him in the face!
In the field, Liu Mang stabbed Yan Zhong with a silver-white spear, but Yan Zhong unexpectedly caught him. He suddenly swung the spear, but Liu Mang was not strong enough and was thrown heavily to the ground.
"ah!"
Liu Mang screamed, blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he was in a miserable state.
Xiao Jian, who was next to Qin Yun, smiled and said sarcastically: "Haha, Mr. Liu, didn't you just say that your young master can win even if he gives up one hand?"
"Please tell Mr. Liu not to give in. If you give in again, you will lose!"
Phew!
Qin Yun couldn't hold it back and started laughing.
Liu Ziyi's face turned green and white, extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly at Xiao Jian.
In the middle of the field, Liu Mang was furious, with cruelty and resentment in his eyes. All civil and military officials were watching. If he lost to a countryman, his father would probably never look at him again when he returned home.
When he pulled out the spear, he actually hid a dagger in his left hand. The cold light flashed and was wiped towards Yan Zhong's neck!
This is a murderous intention!
"Huh?" Qin Yun suddenly stood up and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"How brave!"
Yan Zhong roared loudly. He was so courageous that he did not block the spear and dagger and punched Liu Mang hard in the chest.
boom!
Liu Mang's body was like a kite with its strings broken, flying upside down on the ground for several meters, knocking over a number of knife holders, and he couldn't help but vomit blood.
On the other side, the spear was dodged by Yan Zhong, and the dagger only scratched a little bit of his skin. The whole person looked very relaxed.
"Ha ha!"
Qin Yun stood up and laughed, extremely happy!
He had no idea that Yan Zhong could have such skill. Coupled with his extraordinary character, he had found a treasure.
"The surname of Zhuo County in Yunzhou is Yan Zhongsheng!"
As the examiner shouted, Liu Mang was completely defeated.
Wang Wei and Liu Ziyi's faces looked like they had eaten shit, and it was like they had a lump in their throats!
How could Liu Mang lose to a countryman?! They were angry and regretful!
Qin Yun was full of smiles, looked at the two men and said teasingly: "My dear friends, this country man has defeated Mr. Liu. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Wang and Wei gritted their teeth tightly, ashamed.
How confident I was just now, now I feel so slapped in the face.
When he thought of putting shoes on for this countryman, Wang Wei felt like he wanted to escape. How could he accept such a bet? Now that the bet has been lost, who would dare to disobey the rules of the bet with His Majesty?
"..."
The competition at Shifang Martial Arts Arena continues.
Three thousand people enter one thousand, one thousand people enter one hundred, and one hundred people enter ten.
In the end, ten people decided on the top three positions, the top pick, the second pick, and the top pick.
Competition events, including martial arts, archery, horseback riding, etc., are in full swing at the moment.
As the martial arts competitions were eliminated in several rounds, Qin Yun was surprised to find that among so many aristocratic children, a small number of poor people managed to fight their way out of the siege.
Some rural youths even showed outstanding performances.
The man named Kou Tianxiong was a hunter. His archery was extremely accurate and he defeated many generals!
There is also Yan Zhong, no one is an opponent, they all push him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yan Zhong is the one with the strongest force value. As expected, Wu Zhuangyuan did not run away.
Sure enough, it’s not that children from poor families can’t do it, it’s just that they don’t have the opportunity.
Qin Yun was thinking that since the military examination was held, the imperial examination must also be held.
Since the death of Lin Changshu, the prime minister has been vacant. Military generals can control the world, and only civil servants can rule the country!
…
Two hours later, the sun gradually set.
With the final duel, Kou Tianxiong was defeated by Yan Zhong, and the martial arts competition came to an end.
Qin Yun immediately asked Eunuch Xi to read out the imperial decree. In the martial arts field below, more than a thousand people knelt down and it was extremely quiet.
"It's up to heaven, the emperor decreed."
"On August 12, the martial arts examination was completed successfully. I am very happy."
"The top military scholar Yan Zhong was granted the title of General Qinglongwei. He was granted the rank of Third Rank and was given a palace in the imperial capital..."
"The second-placed Kou Tianxiong is appointed as the deputy general of the Qinglong Guard. He is awarded the rank of fourth rank and is given..."
"Sealing Tanhua Yuan Chengshu as a fourth-grade captain..."
"Select ten others, including Fan Lin, Zhang Yun, and Wan Xiao, to be awarded the title of fifth-grade captain, to study in the Forbidden Army, and to serve the imperial court in the future."
"..."
Once the decree is announced, the matter is settled.
Everyone has been tested and has no merit. Even if some of the sons of the ministers of the DPRK failed to get good results, they can't say anything.
The people dispersed without feeling satisfied, and many young people who had failed were dejected and secretly wiping tears.
If you miss the martial arts competition this time, you may not be able to do it next time.
Qin Yun gave Zhao Heng a wink, and the latter understood the situation and quietly left the Shifang martial arts arena, leading his people to stop some poor disciples who had failed the exam.
Their grades are not good, but they can definitely be recruited into the imperial court and serve the country loyally, which is much better than those proud and arrogant nobles who wait to die.
"Master Wang, Master Liu, have you two forgotten something?"
Qin Yun suddenly smiled and looked sideways.
Wang Wei and Liu Ziyi looked ugly and sat there without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu are important ministers of the court. It is detrimental to the majesty of the court to put shoes on a commoner!" A third-rank minister stood up and advised.
"Go away, I'm willing to admit defeat. How can the courtiers of Great Xia break their promises!" Qin Yun glared at the official.
The latter shrank his neck and immediately retreated.
Seeing this, Wang Wei also understood that His Majesty was determined to embarrass himself.
He gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and bowed down: "Your Majesty, I am willing to admit defeat!"
With a stiff face, he turned around and walked down the high platform, taking the specially made "Flowing Cloud Boots" from the Forbidden Army, which were the armor suit of General Qinglongwei.
"General Yan, I lost the bet, I will give you some shoes."
Hearing this, Yan Zhong was very embarrassed and a little uneasy.
How ridiculous is it that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance puts shoes on for a commoner like himself?
He didn't dare to accept it, but seeing the look in Qin Yun's eyes, he could only accept it.
Liu Ziyi also walked down, his steps were slow and his eyes were filled with embarrassment! But he did not dare to go back on his word, otherwise he would anger His Majesty, and there would be no good consequences.
You have to eat your own shit!
In this way, the two men knelt down to change Yan Zhong's shoes in front of hundreds of officials and many people.
"Tsk, tsk, that's Mr. Wang Weiwang, the Minister of Household Affairs, who is in charge of the world's money and food, but he actually carries the shoes of Wu Zhuangyuan?"
"That's too cruel. I heard that I lost a bet with His Majesty!"
"It's such a disgrace to a scholar. If you put shoes on a country boy, you will be infamy for eternity!"
"Hush, that's the number one scholar in martial arts and the current general of Qinglongwei!"
