Chapter 35 Hero Festival

After the exam, Lu Weimang failed the economics subject without exception.But fortunately, she excelled in other subjects, so she managed to get the top three in the class, and was able to participate in the hero festival with her master, and allowed her family to accompany her, just not being in the same place, acting as an audience.

The Hero Festival is a grand event in Dagan. It is located on the large grassland at the foot of Jingshan Mountain outside the city of Kyoto. There are mountains and rivers here, and the terrain is open. It is usually a place for people in Kyoto to go outing, but now it is strictly disciplined by a team. The Iron Armored Army surrounded the entire mountain and the entire grassland as the scope of activities for the Heroes Festival.

At this time, only the family members of officials who have the status to participate in the Hero Festival are eligible to enter this area.At the official start, there will be crowds of people all around, applauding and applauding everyone competing in the arena. At this time, as long as they stay on the periphery in a proper manner, the Iron Armored Army will not deliberately drive them away.

Every year, the Hero Festival is presided over by the emperor himself, and the activities include competitions, song and dance performances and other items for the Hero Festival.

Among them, there are all kinds of competitive activities, such as reciting poems, fighting against each other, throwing pots, and guessing crossword puzzles in literature, and horse riding, archery, polo, Cuju, wrestling, hunting and other sports in martial arts.

However, at the beginning of the founding of Daqian, all the boys were bloody, coupled with the intense performance and appreciation of horseback riding and archery, so the martial arts competition generally attracted more people's attention.

Even the Holy Majesty would come to the martial arts competition from time to time, and watch it in person on the high platform outside the arena.

Every year at the Heroes Festival, a group of young men who are brave and crowned in Kyoto will emerge. Those who are sought after by the common people, those who have outstanding achievements, even get into the eyes of the Holy Master, have been on the rise ever since.

Therefore, in the capital, the students who have the opportunity to participate in the competition, Junwu and others are now gearing up and eager to try.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the pagoda trees under Jingshan Mountain are full of shade, the grassland is green, and the weather is clear but not hot.

Lu Weimang walked side by side with Qin Xuan in the Guozijian team. For this hero festival, the Guozijian sent a team of forty people, including a polo team, a Cuju team, and others like Lu Weimang who competed for single Seed runners for the winner of the competition.

Lu Weimang was assigned to participate in the counting group competition.Qin Xuan is also a member of the Guozijian Cuju Team.

The auditorium in the distance was already overcrowded, and most of the people occupied the auditorium of the polo team and the Cuju team. Those who couldn't squeeze in the two pairs would disperse to watch the wrestling, equestrian, and archery competitions on the side.

Fortunately, this activity occupies a very large area, so the areas occupied by each competition can be carried out at the same time without interfering with each other.

Father Lu and Chengyang Changfeng naturally wanted to go to the equestrian team to watch the competition. However, my sister has a competition today, so it seems that it is not good not to go to the scene to gain popularity.So, in the auditorium, among the literati dressed in green and moon-white robes, a burly giant appeared, leading two brightly dressed teenagers who were obviously the children of nobles.It made the literati and officials present look sideways.

Lu Weimang...

Fortunately, the game will start soon.

Because it was outdoors, the examiner simply built a high platform, lined up all ten questions, hung them up with scrolls like calligraphy and painting, and showed the questions to everyone.This scroll is tall and the writing is clear, not only the people in the audience can see it clearly, but the audience with better eyesight can also see it clearly and silently participate in answering the questions.

There are several vertical and horizontal rows of low tables in the middle of the field, on which there are pens, ink and manuscript paper for people to calculate and answer questions.

Everyone answered the questions at will, the first to complete ten questions, and all the correct ones, won.

The first few questions are ordinary calculations, which only require a lot of calculations. The middle ones are similar to linear equations in two variables, and the last ones are application questions.For example, how deep is the well, chickens and rabbits in the same cage and so on.

For Lu Weimang, these questions were not difficult at all. She read a question at first, then went back to calculate one, and then she simply took the small charcoal pen she carried with her and stood in front of the question to answer it on the spot.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Weimang went to strike the gong on the gong behind the tenth question, indicating that he had finished answering.

Everyone in the field who was still calculating looked up in astonishment and looked at the person who was beating the gong.

Although there were not many people participating in the counting competition, there were ten or twenty people in the field.And most of them are some nerdy literati.

At this time, they saw Lu Weimang, a childish girl beating the gong, and stopped what they were doing, and went to the referee at the gong.

The referee obviously knew about Lu Weimang, so he said in a loud voice, "Lu Weimang is the first to strike the gong, and then let her show the answer and explain the process. If there is no objection in the field, the leader today will be Lu Weimang." Slight."

Explaining the topic in public is also a rare and enjoyable time in the counting competition, so the audience who were sitting upright gathered around one after another, and Lu Weimang also climbed onto the high platform with the topic vertically, and explained to the people below.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling of being a teacher teaching students.

Lu Weimang didn't care so much, he just explained his calculations and ideas in a simple order, and every time he finished a question, he wrote his answer on the high-hanging question.Everyone listened attentively and did not stop them.

The calculation at the beginning was okay. The chickens and rabbits in the back were in the same cage. Lu Weimang replaced it with A, B, C, D and directly substituted it into the calculation, which made everyone in the audience stare. Knowing that Lu Weimang had finished his explanation, he came to a conclusion and wrote down the answer , everyone in the audience was still confused.

But it doesn't matter anymore, after Lu Weimang wrote down the solution process and answer of the last question under the question, the referee applauded and stood up, "Okay, the leader of our counting competition is this little friend Lu Weimang!"

Everyone in the audience applauded. Although I didn't understand it, it was very powerful. The explanation was fast and smooth. I seemed to understand it just now!

Lu Weimang held the bronze champion cup awarded by the referee, with the word "count" written on it, stood on the stage, had dinner with the referee, and received everyone's cheers and celebrations.

"Okay," after the cheers, the referee pressed his hands down, "For those who want to continue the discussion, these questions are hung here before they are presented to the imperial court tonight. There are soldiers guarding them. Anyone who wants to come up and watch the problem-solving process is welcome. Just don't get started. For the rest of you, you can go to the polo team next to the side to have an eye-sucking experience, everyone, please do it yourself."

Saying that, he bowed his hands to Lu Weimang, and walked off the stage, looking at the direction he was leaving, he seemed to want to watch the polo team match.

Lu Qingshan brought his two sons to meet Lu Weimang who came off the stage holding the championship cup, "Daughter is really majestic today, what you said on stage just now, although I didn't understand, but Dad thinks what you said is very good , easy to understand, and several contestants next to it nodded frequently. It’s really an honor for Dad!"

While talking, he calmly took the Champions Cup from Lu Weimang's hand.

Cheng Yang and Chang Feng wanted to take a look at it, but he was stopped by his height advantage, "Okay, I have plenty of time to watch when I go back. For my father, some former colleagues also came to participate in this hero sacrifice, but their family has no younger generation to participate in the competition." , I can only stare at others. Take this Champions Cup for my father, let them touch it, and let them feel happy together."

As he said that, he was about to leave with the championship cup in his hands. He had already taken a few steps with his legs, but his mouth was still rambling, "Girl, after the game, you can take your two younger brothers to the polo team to watch the game. Go and come! Haha..."

The three siblings saw their father's tall figure running away at lightning speed, turned around and looked at each other.

"Okay, what game do you want to watch, my sister will lead the way and take you to watch."

Lu Weimang shrugged.

There is a fun father, but he has to take on the responsibility of the elder sister.

"polo!"

"polo!"

Lu Weimang knew it.So he led his two younger brothers and walked towards the place where the loudest cheers and curses were heard, which was the venue for the polo team.

There was a sea of ​​people, layers upon layers of people, Cheng Yang and Chang Feng stood at the back of the crowd, too scared to move.

"Sister, it's okay if you don't want to go to the archery competition."

Changfeng swallowed, the human wall in front of him felt that there was no gap for them to squeeze in.

Lu Weimang frowned, "The counting game ended quickly, and the polo team has just started. If you go in now, you can still watch almost the whole game. Wait, let me take a look and see how I can get in. "

Lu Weimang began to observe the surrounding environment.This polo team game covers a huge area.

To the north is the VIP high platform for the rich and powerful. On it are all kinds of wealthy and noble relatives. They sit on the top and are guarded by guards, so it is difficult to pass.

The human walls on the east, west and south sides are too high. It seems that there are more than ten steps in the stands. Lu Weimang can climb up and squeeze in regardless of his image, but Cheng Yang and Chang Feng are obviously not suitable.

There are no big trees nearby, so you can look down from a high place.

Lu Weimang thought for a while, "Come on, let's go north."

Lu Weimang wanted to go to the junction of the north and the east to see if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters.After all, one side is crowded with people, and the other side is the VIP area with relatively few people. The buffer zone between the two sides may accommodate the three of them.

This field is really big, Lu Weimang felt that he had walked several hundred meters north along the edge of the field, and he hadn't seen the end yet.

"Hey, that kid!"

A voice came from behind, and Lu Weimang turned his head in response.

Behind them, two horses came forward slowly.The ones sitting immediately were none other than the Third Prince and General Huo whom I saw at the Imperial Academy that day.

But today, General Huo shaved off the messy beard on his face, revealing a thin and serious face with sharp edges and corners, and even a faint youthful look.She is much younger than Lu Weimang thought. She thought she was in her thirties, but now she looks like she is only in her twenties.

If it weren't for the familiar voice just now, Lu Weimang would hardly have dared to recognize it.

"Meet the third prince, General Huo."

Cheng Yang and Chang Feng also quickly saluted.

"What are you wandering around here? When Sheng Jia comes over later, don't you think there are more armored guards than before?"

The voice is majestic, without feeling angry.

Lu Weimang raised his head and looked around, only to realize that there seemed to be more than before.

"Just now I was walking with my head buried, but I didn't find it."

Lu Weimang was embarrassed to explain.

"Are you late for a polo match?"

Lu Weimang didn't want to explain too much, just nodded and admitted, "Yes, I came late, I couldn't get in, I wanted to see where I could squeeze in loosely..."

"follow me."

After finishing speaking, he rode forward, but Lu Weimang had no choice but to follow behind.

In this case, it's okay for her not to look at it.But that's all I've said, it's even worse if I don't want to read it now.

After walking a few steps to the north, sure enough, the VIP seating area appeared.But there is no loophole that Lu Weimang imagined to take advantage of, the black-armored guards here are quite strict.

Seeing General Huo coming on horseback, the defender stepped forward to meet them, because they were some distance away, and saw General Huo tap his chin towards them, and a soldier came to ask the three brothers and sisters to go over.

As he got closer, General Huo's horse appeared even taller, and Lu Weimang even felt that he had stepped under the horse's hooves, completely covered by General Huo and his horse.

"I can't see clearly from up there, just sit here and watch."

Lu Weimang saluted knowingly, "Thank you, General Huo."

For such a big man, it is only by following other people's arrangements that he can appear inconspicuous.

"Ah."

When Lu Weimang got up again and looked up, General Huo and the third prince with a deep expression beside him had already walked away.

"Sister?"

"It's okay, it's convenient for us to do a little work by General Huo. Come in quickly, and wait for the royal driver to come, maybe the game will be even more exciting. We're lucky today."

After speaking, he took his two younger brothers and sat down under the VIP high platform, in the first row, under the guidance of the armored guards.
