Chapter 120 Athletics

"Commander, I have been harmed by you, Xiao Yi must turn against me!"

Arranging Yangliu to rest in an inn temporarily, Zheng Ping complained when he walked out of the inn.

Chen Qing poked his chest hard with his fingers, and said with contempt: "I know what kind of person you are. If it weren't for her good looks, you would run to help her over and over again? Visit her? How dare you say that?" Have you ever thought of her?"

Zheng Ping was caught by Chen Qing's words, scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I was a little bit attracted to her, but Xiao Yi really likes her, so I'm ashamed to argue with Xiao Yi."

"But she also said just now that she doesn't like Xiao Yi, do you know why?"

Zheng Ping nodded, "Xiao Yi is a little weaker."

"That's right, Xiaoyi has no sense of security, but you are different, you can protect her, even the arrogant Fu Moshan has to give you face, of course she will choose you."

Zheng Ping finally made up his mind, "Okay! I'll just marry her, but I want to make it clear that I can only marry her as my concubine."

Chen Qing knew his family's background, and his parents might not accept Yang Liu as his wife.

"This is your own business, I don't care, you just need to arrange them well."

Zheng Ping thought for a while and said, "Fu Moshan will not give up on her. I will take her away now, and then take her father to Hanzhong. If I marry her in Hanzhong, his father will not dare to mess around. Maybe I will invite five Day off!"

Chen Qing patted him on the shoulder, "I'll give you ten days off and arrange them well. I'll take care of your army for the time being."

Chen Qing took out another twenty taels of silver and gave it to him. Zheng Ping quickly shook his head and said, "I have more than one hundred taels of silver here! If it's not enough, I'll get some more from the money shop in Hanzhong."

Chen Qing arranged for three of his men to follow Zheng Ping to the south. Zheng Ping didn't dare to waste time. He bought some dry food and supplies for the road, and left Dashan Pass with Yang Liu and a few of his men, heading for Houguan Village ten miles away.

After Zheng Ping left, Yang Zaixing, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "At first the Commander didn't want to bring him here, but he begged hard to come with him. It can be seen that there is God's will in the dark."

Chen Qing also laughed, "This kid is looking forward to coming to Dasanguan to eat and drink, and then go to the brothel at night. It's a pity that people are not as good as God, this is his destiny!"

When Fu Moshan returned to the camp, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slowly realized that Chen Qing didn't even bother to deal with him, so he sent a subordinate to scare him away.

He must have humiliated himself in this way when he heard his subordinates calling him commander.

Fu Moshan felt extremely humiliated and kicked the chair to pieces.

"What are you doing?" Uncle Fu Xuan's stern voice came from behind.

Fu Moshan was startled, and quickly knelt down on one knee, "My nephew has been bullied and feels depressed."

"Did you meet Chen Qing at noon?"

It seems that uncle already knew the situation, Fu Moshan lowered his head and said, "Exactly, Chen Qing despises nephew, it's really deceiving!"

Fu Xuan said coldly: "You didn't fight him?"

"Nephew. Nephew put the overall situation first, swallowed his anger and left."

Fu Xuan looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "You did a great job this time, it's rare for me to praise you once."

Fu Moshan sighed, "Thank you uncle for the compliment, but the anger is unbearable!"

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it!"

Fu Xuan's gaze became severe, "Do you think you are the only one who is enduring it? Wang Yan and Chen Qing colluded and took away my most elite three thousand soldiers. My hatred in my heart is ten times, a hundred times more than yours, but I You have to bear it, it is because of Zhang Jun's backing that Chen Qing can be so arrogant, Zhang Jun is very strong now, we just took over the Eight Character Army, we must learn to behave with our tails between our legs, we keep our hatred in our hearts, not forgetting it."

"How long will it last?"

"Hurry up! Zhu Shengfei said that the officials want to transfer Zhang Jun away. I guess there will be news next year."

"Will Mr. Zhu come to replace Zhang Jun next year?"

"I don't know about that, but you have to remember that no matter who will replace Zhang Jun, they will be emperors and courtiers, and we will definitely have a bright future."

In the early morning of the next day, the drums on the Dasanguan school field were rumbling and the trumpets were whimpering. Tens of thousands of soldiers stood around the school field, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Nominally, this competition was to compete for the five hundred god arm crossbows, but Zhang Jun regarded it as a morale-boosting martial arts competition, and the nature was different.

On the north stand, Zhang Jun was sitting on a handsome tiger-skin chair, with a group of generals and civil servants sitting on both sides, almost all of the generals were above the command.

Although Chen Qing is only a commander, he is the envoy of the Qinzhou system and has an independent Qinzhou army. He is also qualified to sit in the north stand, but he sits on the far side.

On the school field, two armies were fighting each other, the dust was flying, and the fighting was fierce.

All the armies are going to show up today, except for Chen Qing's Qinzhou Army, whose army has just been established and is still in the integration stage.

When the bell rang, the two armies in the school grounds withdrew, and a large spear formation of [-] men appeared, with a neat appearance, vigorous gait, and a murderous look.

The leading general is at Fu Moshan. He is holding a big knife, triumphantly. It seems that he is commanding this kind of army, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this army has nothing to do with him. The rhythm of the soldiers is completely different from his. The person who commands the army is the deputy general in the team.

Although no one said anything, Fu Xuan's face felt hot, and he secretly regretted that it was a bit of a mistake to let his nephew command the army.

The soldiers all around were merciless and booed, and finally the martial arts performance was over, and Fu Moshan led the army down in a panic.

At this time, the sound of the drum changed, and a [-]-man bow and crossbow army came out. Chen Qing was refreshed. This was the [-] god-armed crossbow army that everyone was going to compete for.

These five hundred people are tall and strong, and they can independently pull the two-stone crossbow. It is a sharp weapon against the Jurchen cavalry. No wonder everyone is jealous of it.

The Five Hundred God Arm Crossbow Troops were only performing bow formations, and did not actually fire arrows, which would easily accidentally injure surrounding soldiers.

Liu Ziyu, who was sitting beside him, smiled at Chen Qing in a low voice: "The lottery head has been put out, and the following is the riding and archery competition."

Chen Qing smiled slightly: "Who will Liu Dutong send to participate in the competition?"

"The most suitable person is my nephew Liu Qiong. Unfortunately, he is in Lin'an, so I can only send my third son Liu Cui to fight."

Speaking of this, Liu Ziyu suddenly thought of something, and said with some concern: "The Qinzhou Army will not fight for Commander Chen in person!"

Chen Qing chuckled, "I really have this idea, but it's a pity that everyone doesn't allow it. Fortunately, I still have a strong general under my command. Let's see his performance!"

"I heard that Commander Chen is very good at archery. Is there a chance for us to learn from each other?"

"I have long wanted to learn about Liu Dutong's magic arrow. Hearing that Liu Dutong is known as the best arrow in the world, I have always admired Liu Dutong."

Liu Ziyu said a little angrily: "Listen to their nonsense, who dares to claim that he is the best arrow in the world? I only have a few catties of stupid strength. In terms of archery, I am not as good as Zhou Tong."

Liu Ziyu sighed and said: "It doesn't make sense for us to be good at archery. We must cultivate an army with excellent cavalry and archery, so that we can compete with the Jurchen cavalry."

"But that will take time!"

"Yeah! I may not have a chance, so I hope to cultivate such an army under the hands of General Chen."

Just as the two were talking, the riding and archery competition began. This time, even Qu Duan, the commander of the garrison in Hanzhong, sent a general to participate in the competition. In addition, there were generals from Wu Ling, Fu Xuan's generals, Liu Kai's generals, Guan Shigu's subordinates, Liu Ziyu's subordinates, Chen Qing's subordinates, and in the end even Wu Jie couldn't stand in the way of his subordinates' request, and they also sent a young general who was good at riding and shooting to participate in the competition.

A total of eight young generals participated in the riding and archery competition.

The rules are also relatively simple. Five wooden frames are placed within a distance of a hundred steps, and three copper coins are hung on each wooden frame. The most copper coins landed wins.

The drum beat, and the eight generals rode into the school field like a whirlwind, which aroused the cheers of the soldiers like a tsunami.
