Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 396 Ming Conspiracy
It was completely dark outside the window, the thunder was louder than the loudest, and the wind beat against the window frame.

Just when Ji Si finished saying this, accompanied by a bright lightning, the sky was pattering down with bean-sized raindrops.

"Ouch..." Ji Si was slapped squarely, and Ji Jiashu took a step back, "Come in."

"Thank you sir."

Ji Si patted the drops of water on his forehead, there was rain and sweat.There was a strong wind outside the window, and the summer rainstorm was about to come, and large raindrops hit the ground violently, forming patches of water mist.

"Young master, let me tell you..." Ji Si shook the water droplets on his head panting and couldn't help but speak, and Ji Jiashu threw him a cloth towel.

"Okay, dry off and talk slowly, I'm not in such a hurry."

"Thank you, my lord," Ji Si rubbed his head, stealing a look at Ji Jiashu who was standing by the window and staring at the rain and fog outside the window.

not in such a rush...

He glanced at the trembling window frame that Ji Jiashu pushed away just now, and swallowed the thoughts in his heart.After all, it was the first time he saw the window being pushed open like this, and he was worried that after the courtyard door, there would be no windows in his son's courtyard.

"Okay, what exactly did you find out?" Ji Jia asked with his back turned to him, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, he suddenly saw the rain-soaked girl on the ring of Jixia Academy for the first time. The figure of a girl.

He closed his eyes, turned to look at Ji Si, "What's going on?"

Ji Jiashu tried his best to keep his voice calm, "What's the matter with the former Qin substitution?"

He paused and said, "There are still two quotas... What's the matter with picking six people?"

Looking at Ji Si who was so excited and out of breath, Ji Jiashu had a premonition that he couldn't believe, and even picked six people...

"Huh? Your stool, sir..." However, Ji Si suddenly saw the chair that Ji Jiashu got up too hastily to bring down just now, and ran to help it up, and when he saw the chair on the ground, Ji Jiashu's face was almost broken.

"Young master, you asked me to follow up to inquire about the news in the morning, and the villain has been staying at the racecourse to watch," Ji Si quickly returned to his position and confessed, "Qianqin really changed his practice to participate in the second round of polo tomorrow. By."

"The person who changed is mainly Your Highness the Princess," Ji Si said looking at Ji Jiashu, unable to control his emotions in his words, "The reason for the two quotas is that Her Highness the Princess not only got the quota for the guard, Young Master Gui. "

"For that guard..." Ji Jiashu looked at the rain and fog outside the window, and slowly tightened his fingers on the edge of the window.

"The one picking six..." He turned to look at Ji Si, "Is it because of this?"

"Yes! As expected of the young master! You can guess it!"

Ji Si became excited when he heard the words, "Her Royal Highness said at the time that she wanted to participate in tomorrow's polo match, but Mr. Ying Xun said that everyone had chosen her position, so Her Royal Highness suggested that there was an unworthy person in the former Qin Dynasty who was not worthy of virtue. Tradition that challenges the incumbent."

Ji Jiashu was in a trance for a moment when he heard the words, and he also knew this tradition.It's better to say that this rule is applicable not only in the former Qin Dynasty, but also in the cultivation world where strength is the most important thing.

For example, the position of the elder brothers of each school in Jixia Academy was not fixed.Every senior brother must constantly accept the challenges of the new disciples who come up below, and if they lose, they will lose this position.

Virtue does not match, and those who are able live there.

This is the highest standard in the world of practitioners.

And the first to root such rules and thinking in the hearts of practitioners was the founding emperor of the Qin Empire, the Taizu Emperor Yingdi, who ruled the world.

In a sense, the reason why Qin, or the former Qin Dynasty, was able to rise from the mid-term as a not-so-powerful vassal state among the Seven Kingdoms, and eventually become the hegemony of the mainland, was in a sense the military merit system and the tradition of the able-bodied.

Ji Jiashu looked at the mist in the courtyard. Because of his age and experience, he had never seen the king's army in the Qin unified continent, but he had heard that in the Qin army back then, the small soldiers in the team were even qualified to challenge the commander. If you feel that the general is not worthy of sitting in that position, you can leapfrog the challenge.

Of course, this kind of challenge is not a simple contest, and it is not allowed to disturb the morale of the army during the war, but the tradition of the Qin Empire at that time, regardless of the origin, that the high-ranking and capable people lived there, and indeed created a tiger-wolf division.

"The people of Qin donated armor and spears to attack the enemy. They held the heads on the left and the captives on the right."

It can be said that every general who was able to secure a position in the Qin Empire back then had genuine strength.

Of course, this is also the year.

Seeing the water mist converging on the ground and turning into muddy water, Ji Jiashu had a complicated expression.

Today's former Qin Dynasty has obviously lost such a spirit, and the achievements of the woman in Tianmu Mountain were not recognized.As far as Ji Jiashu knows, the current former Qin polo team is dominated by sons from aristocratic families.

Although Ying Xun has tried his best to negotiate, the aristocratic family has a certain strength in itself, and the aristocratic family will never give in if the difference in strength is not large.

"Her Royal Highness proposed that if she can beat at least one former Qin participant in equestrian batting, she should be able to exchange for a place on the field."

This statement is indeed in line with the statement that the capable live in it.

A country needs eight people. This number is more or less. It is impossible for the entire team to be strong.What's more, in the poor and weak former Qin Dynasty, it is impossible for the team to be all sixth ranks, and the former Qin could not have eight rank sixes.

And as long as she is ranked seventh, that woman has the ability to defeat.

In any case.

Ji Jiashu was convinced of this.

This has been confirmed at the Banquet of Jixia.

The rumor that the woman is invincible in the same realm is not a vegetarian, at least Ji Jiashu believed it.

However, thinking about the conversation with that woman before, Ji Jiashu's face sank like water.

He opposed that woman to challenge the former Qin polo team, not because he felt that Ying Baoyue couldn't beat the seventh-level cultivators in it.

It was entirely possible for that woman to beat someone from the former Qin team.He could think of all this in advance, after all, there are always shortcomings in a team.

But the cruelty of this world to that woman is that even if she is not weaker than everyone in the former Qin's team, it is still difficult for her to make the former Qin stepson dare to take great risks to use her. Convince.

"Your Highness first competed in equestrian batting with a practitioner who seemed to be at a low level," Ji Si said pantingly, "Then His Highness knocked off the opponent's sword and directly threw the man off the horse. However, practitioners from the former Qin Dynasty still did not accept His Highness' appearance."

Ji Jiashu pinched the edge of the window tightly with his fingers, his gaze sank.

He knew it would be like this.

That's why he objected to that woman naively challenging all of this before.

He admitted that the woman was indeed not an ordinary practitioner, she had the capital of self-confidence, but he thought this woman was too naive before.

He felt that Ying Baoyue thought that he could replace one or two members of the former Qin polo team by defeating them.

It is really too simple to think about the problem.

"At that time, Mr. Huo said that the cultivator gave way to the woman and did not dare to attack the princess, so he did not investigate for a while," Ji Si said while looking at Ji Jiashu.

To beat one or two ex-Qin practitioners and let a woman play for the first time is simply a dream.

Even with her eyes closed, Ji Jiashu could still think of Huo Zhan's disdainful expression and what he would say.

"At the same time, Mr. Gui was also battling the ball with the players with the lowest level in the former Qin Dynasty. Mr. Gui scored far more goals than his opponent, but the people of the former Qin Dynasty did not agree to allow Mr. Gui to play, and they despised Mr. Gui's low level. .”

Those who can live there.

It is just a coincidence that a practitioner with a low realm can defeat a practitioner with a high realm.

Common people who can win against the sons of aristocratic families must have played tricks.

This is the thinking of the current practice world and current practitioners.

Ji Jiashu stared at the mist in the courtyard with a confused expression.

A puddle of mud.

however……

Looking at the big drops of water, Ji Jiashu suddenly remembered the figure of the woman climbing up from the muddy water that Chen Zichu had described before.

He remembered what Ji Si said just now, this woman won in the end.

"Then how did she make Ying Xun change?" Ji Jiashu quietly watched the heavy rain outside the window.

There is always no shortage of conspiracies in the world, and the rain washes away everything, but at this moment, Ji Si's voice full of emotions sounded beside him.

"Her Royal Highness drew her sword in an instant and challenged all former Qin participants."

In front of Ji Si's eyes, the figure of the young girl facing countless young men appeared one by one with one sword.

"Your Highness said," Ji Si's voice was a little trembling, "Since one time was accidental, then eight times will definitely not happen."

The girl on the horse smiled slightly.

"Let's come one by one."
