Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1480 The Secret of the Chamber of Secrets 46.0
"In this competition, the purpose of Shen Yizhou and his little friends is not pure. They want to use this competition to prove themselves. These daily exercises are not nonsense in the eyes of adults. The sons of honored nobles are much stronger. Therefore, they attach great importance to it, and specially invited Su Yao, the former Grand Marshal of the Five Cities Military Division, to be the judge to judge the winner or loser."

"Su Yao?" Xue Ruitian thought for a while, looked at Shen Haolin, and then at His Royal Highness Ning Wang, "Is it Su Yao who has guarded the border for decades, and finally surrendered his seal because he was worried about his high skills?"

"It's him." His Highness King Ning sighed, with regret on his face, "He knows that the royal family in the previous dynasty was a very small-minded generation. He guarded the border for decades and repelled foreign invasions many times. His reputation became so great that there were even rumors that he only knew about Su Yao but not the emperor at the border. Su Yao was worried that he would be killed as an example, so he took the initiative to choose a son of the royal family, handed over his military power, and returned to the field by himself."

"Hand over the military power to a son of the royal family?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Are you so irresponsible? Can this person take up the responsibility of combating foreign raids? If not, is this approach harmful to the border troops and border gates?" The people here are very irresponsible?"

"Don't worry about this. He didn't choose someone randomly to hand over the military power, but the child he chose has been with him for three or four years. He has experienced dozens of battles and battles. There are also hundreds of enemy leaders, and he is capable, so it is not considered irresponsible." His Highness Prince Ning saw Shen Cha's worried face, and chuckled, "Su Yao is a veteran and a famous general, no matter how much you worry about yourself They will not disregard the border gates and the border people's lives."

"Your Highness's previous expression, if you read it correctly, Su Yao's ending is not very good?" Jin Miaomiao stood up, saw that everyone's tea cups were empty, and took the initiative to refill them with hot tea. ..."

"Although I voluntarily handed over my commander's seal, took a vacant position in Wucheng Bingmasi, and enjoyed the leisure time at home when I disarmed and returned to the fields. I thought I could save my life and that of my family, but in the end I still did not escape the arrangement of fate. In the second year when Shen Yizhou became the Patriarch of the Shen family, he was accused of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country for no reason. There were more than [-] members of his family, and none of them survived." His Highness King Ning snorted coldly, "The one who concocted this tragedy, It's not someone else, but the heir selected by himself. All the criminal evidence was handed over by this person. There are all personal and physical evidence, and none of the evidence is ironclad. It is absolutely impossible to reverse the case."

"So, handing over military power is the same as not handing it over, right?" Xue Ruitian also sighed, "If I knew this was the case, I might as well not hand it over. If I don't hand it over, there is still a chance to resist. If I hand it over, I can only let others slaughter me." .”

"This has happened a long time later, and it has nothing to do with the competition between Shen Yizhou and Xue Jinchang. I just mentioned it casually so as not to affect your emotions." His Royal Highness Ning waved his hand, "Su Yao, as the judge of the competition, has already known about it in advance. After specifying the content and rules of the competition, the whole competition is divided into three parts. The first part is the individual competition. Twenty people will draw lots and compete in groups. Finally, a winner will be determined. Which side will the final winner belong to? Just write it down on which side." He looked at the children in the room, "Do you understand?"

"Understood." Shen Cha nodded, "What about the second and third parts?"

"The nature of the second part and the third part is basically the same. An obstacle course, one for an individual, and one for the whole." His Highness Prince Ning sat up from the chaise longue, asked Ying Wu for a pen and paper, and briefly drew A stick figure, handed to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Does this look familiar?"

"This..." Xue Ruitian was curious, and leaned over to take a look, "Aren't these the things we usually use for practice? It just looks simple."

"As I said before, many of the exercises we practiced were left by our ancestors, but they were developed by us later." Shen Cha looked at the picture and smiled, "If there is no practice accumulated over time, a certain If you get started, not only will you not be able to complete it, but you will be easily injured. This..." He pointed to the board-like obstacle on the picture, "Now this board-like thing can be used for climbing, but now we The climbing block has been cancelled, and it is a complete and heavy wooden box, requiring soldiers to use their own body momentum to prop themselves up and then climb over."

"Of course, if the qinggong is good, we allow opportunism." Xue Ruitian sat back again and looked at His Royal Highness Ning, "If the situation is optimistic, the ancestor can win a little bit in the first competition, If you’re not optimistic, you’ve probably lost completely. Your Highness, what’s the result?”

"A crushing defeat." His Highness King Ning gritted his teeth at Xue Ruitian, "Xue Jinchang and his friends who were going to participate in the martial arts competition came here arrogantly, thinking that they could beat this group of idlers to the ground, but they didn't expect that the first time... One game started badly. In the personal competition, only Xue Jinchang made it to the second level among the ten of them, and his opponent was Shen Yizhou, who was relatively weaker. And he directly drew Shen Yizhou in the second personal competition. Shen Yizhou kicked Xue Jinchang on the shoulder at the 43th and [-]rd move, this kick was very powerful, Xue Jinchang fell to the ground and took a long time before standing up."

"There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Only after being severely beaten can you understand this truth." Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid the martial arts students who are with him are not very comfortable in their hearts, right?"

"Well, according to the records in the storybook, I heard that there was internal strife, and two people turned their heads and left."

"Turn your face and leave?" Jin Miaomiao was taken aback, "What do you mean? Did you blame Old Ancestor Xue for losing?"

"That's almost what it means." His Royal Highness Ning nodded, "I said it before, their hearts are not in harmony, their goals are not pure, they didn't get the benefits they wanted, and they didn't get the limelight they wanted. Pushed it to Xue Jinchang, it is said that there was a lot of quarrel, but what was said, there is no record in those scrolls, probably the words are not very pleasant, so it is not convenient to write down."

"However, the number of people is not enough, how will the next two matches be compared?"

"Otherwise, the members of the Shen family are righteous. Shen Yizhou proposed to Su Yao and Xue Jinchang that since Xue Jinchang had fewer people on his side, they should also reduce two people on their side. The child who passed Xue Jinchang's side, let the two of them rest, and the rest will continue to participate in the second round."

"It is indeed righteous enough and a friend that can be made." Xue Ruitian nodded, "If it were me, I would definitely go downhill. At this time, let's not compare, just admit defeat and forget it."

"I don't know what Xue Jinchang was thinking at the time, but the martial arts he brought would never admit defeat. So..." His Royal Highness Ning shrugged, "The second round of the individual obstacle course lived up to everyone's expectations and lost again. In the end, only Xue Jinchang and his cousin were left to participate in the third round. After Shen Yizhou and his brother showed how to compare in the third stage, Xue Jinchang and his cousin directly gave up the challenge and said bluntly to Shen Yizhou that they lost It is sincerely convinced, and I apologize for the rudeness at the gate of the city before."

"And then? How did they become friends then?"

"Because Shen Yizhou replaced Xue Jin..." His Royal Highness King Ning twitched the corner of his lips lightly, "Hold the injustice."
