Chapter 70 The Martial Arts Festival Lasting Two Years
"Yang Shuo, you don't have to worry about me!"
With a slight effort, Yang Cheng broke away and continued to drink wine from the gourd.
However, when the wine gourd was brought to his mouth, no wine flowed out. Apparently, Yang Cheng had just drank the entire gourd of wine.
With a wry smile, Yang Cheng threw it away, and the wine gourd fell to the ground with a clang, and rolled away...
"Yang Shuo, just now...I lost my composure!"
Taking a deep breath, Yang Cheng had calmed down his mind and regained his calm temperament. The restless energy and blood in his body gradually calmed down.
Yang Shuo didn't speak. He knew that sixth brother Yang Cheng must have something to say at this moment.
Sure enough, the next moment, Yang Cheng shook his head to clear his head a little, and then said: "Seventeen years ago, my mother was also a maid of the Yang family. After giving birth to me, she became my father's concubine. My father said:
My mother doted on her very much and often stayed at her place. When I was two years old, my mother became pregnant again..."
"It's a pity that I'm just a concubine after all. Even if I'm pregnant, I still need to go to Mrs. Cheng's place every day to say hello and listen to Mrs. Cheng's instructions!"
"When my mother was seven months pregnant, she felt unwell one day and did not pay her respects to Mrs. Cheng. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng took advantage of this and gave her thirty canes. My mother was just a weak woman. She received thirty canes that day.
I had a miscarriage at night and died within a month..."
Yang Cheng spoke slowly, made a crunching sound, and clenched his fist suddenly.
The lives of two close relatives must be counted on Mrs. Cheng!
Yang Shuo was silent, compared to his sixth brother, his situation in the Zhenguo Palace was pretty good...
"As long as I can win the first prize in the Great Zhou Martial Arts Competition, I can earn the title of 'Madam' for my mother. When I open a house in the future, I can justifiably enshrine my mother in the main hall and receive incense from my descendants! As long as I
If you continue to perform meritorious service in the army, your mother will continue to be awarded titles, and it is impossible to surpass Mrs. Cheng!"
Yang Cheng's eyes were firm and he said coldly.
"This large Zhenguo Palace has strict hierarchy and many rules, but it lacks a bit of human touch. It would be better to leave the Zhenguo Palace..." Yang Shuo said lightly with his eyelids drooping.
At this moment, Yang Shuo envied his sixth brother, Yang Cheng. He stepped into the martial arts level and participated in the Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection. After winning the first prize, he could stand up on his own with great success. But in this Zhen Guogong Mansion, he had to be controlled by others everywhere, and it was difficult to fully
free……
"The Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection... It's not a bad idea to participate in this Martial Arts Selection. Even if you can't win the first place, as long as you perform well in the Martial Arts Selection, you can still become famous in the capital. If you can make such a big name, all the forces and families will win over you.
...At that time, it will undoubtedly be much easier to rescue Xiaodi in Yumo Tower..."
Yang Shuo's brain was spinning rapidly.
"Brother Six, you are going to participate in the Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection. I would also like to follow you and experience it. Unfortunately, my strength is only at the peak of Body Tempering. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve any results..." Yang Shuo took a long breath and said casually.
"If you are at the peak of body tempering, you may not be able to make a name for yourself in the martial arts selection!" But at this moment, Yang Cheng shook his head slightly.
"Yang Shuo, do you think that the Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection can only be completed in two or three months? This Martial Arts Selection happens every five years, and every time, it has to go through the 'Preliminary Selection', 'Martial Arts Examination', and 'School Field'
There are three stages of martial arts competition, which last for more than two years!"
"This Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection requires warriors under the age of twenty and above the intermediate level of body tempering to participate. Generally, those with primary strength in Qi Refining can easily pass the preliminary selection, and the martial arts competition will not be held until half a year later. As for the martial arts competition in the school field, it is
It will take more than a year. Although you only have the peak strength of body tempering now, it is not difficult to pass the preliminary training. As long as you enter the intermediate level of Qi refining within half a year, there is no problem in passing the martial arts competition. As for the final martial arts competition in the school field
To fight, you need to be at the level of a martial artist to stand out..." Yang Cheng explained to Yang Shuo.
"The martial arts selection will last for two years?"
Hearing Yang Cheng's explanation, Yang Shuo couldn't help but be stunned.
In the past, because Yang Shuo's qualifications were too poor and he could not break through to the intermediate level of body tempering, he did not care about the Great Zhou Martial Arts selection.
Only now did Yang Shuo understand a little bit about the selection of martial arts in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"In this case, I can participate in this martial arts selection..."
Yang Shuo thought secretly in his heart.
There is still a huge gap between Yang Shuo's current strength and that of geniuses of the same age.
However, with the cultivation of "Six Yang Black Eagle Strength", Yang Shuo can at least guarantee that within half a year, his strength will make a big jump, and there will be absolutely no problem in passing the "Martial Arts Examination".
"It seems that in seven or eight days, it will be the time for the martial arts selection 'first round'. I don't know what the first round will be tested for, um... In the past few days, I have time to go to the family library. Now my identity,
You can enter the second level. Although the exercises are not required, you still need to study a few more martial arts..." At this time, Yang Shuo had already decided that he would also compete on the stage of the Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection.
Let’s fight!

Zhen Guogong Mansion, in Ninglan Garden.
Mrs. Cheng's face was gloomy, and she sat on the main seat, with two maids, Lan Jing and Zi Yu, waiting on her left and right.
Next to Mrs. Cheng, there was a woman sitting. This woman was dressed in light and elegant clothes, and her face was very beautiful. She looked like she was only twenty-four or five years old.
This woman is none other than Mrs. Yang Qianping, Mrs. Luo, the second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo!
At this moment, Mrs. Luo was talking to Mrs. Cheng.
"Sister, my father-in-law once said when he was in seclusion before, the most important thing for my sister to take charge of the housework is this martial arts selection, so that the children of my Yang family can stand out and not be underestimated by other princes.
Go. If my sister is as familiar with these two boys as Yang Cheng and Yang Shuo..."
Mrs. Luo suddenly smiled sweetly as she spoke.
"Yes, my sister has forgotten that in this martial arts selection, a genius from Chenghou's house is also participating. Yang Cheng has broken through to the level of a martial artist. I wonder what the genius in Chenghou's house is and whether he can do it.
Beating Yang Cheng to win the first prize..."
As the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Mrs. Cheng's family status is not ordinary. Her natal family is also from the Grand Zhou clan. In this martial arts selection, one of Mrs. Cheng's natal nephews also has outstanding talent and is expected to win the championship!
Mrs. Luo's words were ambiguous, but she obviously meant that Mrs. Cheng suppressed Yang Cheng because she was afraid that Yang Cheng would overwhelm the genius of the Cheng family.
"Hmph, whether the boy from the Cheng family can win the championship depends entirely on his ability. What does it have to do with Yang Cheng?"
Mrs. Cheng looked cold and said in a deep voice.
"Lan Jing, tomorrow morning, go and instruct Yang Cheng and Yang Shuo to participate in the Great Zhou Martial Arts Selection. Don't insult the reputation of my Yang family!" Mrs. Cheng told Lan Jing.
"Yes, madam!" Lan Jing agreed softly.
"Sister has a broad mind, and I admire her very much. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Sister, let's take a rest early!" Mrs. Luo glanced at the sky outside, stood up, and said to Mrs. Cheng.

The next day, early in the morning, before Lan Jing could find Yang Shuo, Yang Shuo had already had breakfast and went straight to the library of Zhen Guogong Mansion...
