Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 139
After less than twenty strokes, Zhao Heng's spear landed on the sturdy general's chest, and said, "I've accepted it."

The sturdy general wiped off his sweat and laughed loudly: "Zhao Heng, you are really strong, I am convinced!"

Zhao Heng also laughed, put away his spear, and bowed to Xiao Shengyun and the others.

Su Lijin was completely attracted by this competition, and the admiration for Zhao Heng in her eyes became stronger.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let General Zhao Heng protect your concubines."

Concubine Shu looked at Zhao Heng, and excitedly begged Xiao Shengyun for it.

Xiao Shengyun glanced at her: "Concubine Shu wants him to protect you?"

Su Lijin was slightly startled, and then she sneered and said, "Concubine Shu, Zhao Heng is a dignified general who is doing great things to protect his family and the country, not a bodyguard who is driven by others. If you say to protect you, he will be sent to protect you." you?"

"Oh, is that so..." Concubine Shu's face darkened.

Staring at the expression on her face, Su Lijin pursed her lips: "Concubine Shu is so excited to beg for a foreigner, could it be that her thoughts are elsewhere and she has some shameful intentions? The ugly words of this palace are the first, and adultery in the harem is a capital offense !"

Concubine Shu was startled suddenly, and only then did she realize that she said something out of her mind just now, and hurriedly said: "No, this concubine just appreciates General Zhao's military power, and she made a slip of the tongue for a while, there is absolutely no other meaning."

Su Lijin's mouth almost put her on the execution platform!
Xiao Shengxun on the side didn't express his opinion, just looked at her like that, making Concubine Shu's back sweat profusely.

"General Zhao Heng is outstanding in martial arts, he is a rare talent."

Regardless of what Concubine Shu thought, Su Lijin looked at Zhao Heng with admiration: "I heard that General Zhao is quite praised by his colleagues in the barracks. It's really good."

These compliments, in Xiao Shengyun's ears, couldn't help but make him look at Zhao Heng a few more times.

He heard the implication of Su Lijin's words, I am afraid that this Zhao Heng is quite appreciated by Su Lijin.

Su Lijin's anticipating gaze before coming to the barracks flashed in his heart, and a dark light flashed in his black eyes.

Zhao Heng had already won and became No.1 in the field. Xiao Shengyun raised his hand to let him step forward, and said, "General Zhao, are you still used to it in the barracks?"

Zhao Heng bowed and said, "The barracks is the home of the humble minister, and the humble minister has long been used to it."

Xiao Shengyun inquired again, and learned a little about Zhao Heng, knowing that he was at the bottom of the ranks of generals.

Just when everyone thought he was about to end the topic, they heard him wave his hand and say: "General Zhao is loyal and resourceful, and he will be promoted to the commander of the imperial army today."

Everyone was shocked, and Zhao Heng looked up in shock.

"General Zhao, you can go to the Imperial Army today." Xiao Shengyun glanced at Su Lijin and patted Zhao Heng on the shoulder.

This time, it wasn't just Zhao Heng and the others who were surprised, Su Lijin who was on the side was so shocked that he almost cried out.

She never expected that Xiao Shengyun would directly transfer Zhao Hengsheng to such a high official!
Zhao Heng looked at Xiao Shengyun, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, I have been promoted to be the commander of the imperial army, is it..."

He wanted to say, isn't this a little too fast.

For so many years in the military camp, he has always been a general at the end. From the bottom of his heart, he also believes that only by making military achievements will he have the opportunity to be promoted.

At this moment, he just won the first place in the general's competition, but he was promoted to an official position that he would never even think about.

I wondered if Xiao Shengyun was promoted to his official position because of a moment of brain fever.

Su Lijin glanced at Zhao Heng, and naturally understood what he was thinking.

After all, no one expected that Xiao Shengyun would suddenly issue a decree of grace.

Although she wholeheartedly wanted to get Zhao Heng into the palace as an errand, but the position of commander of the imperial army was extraordinary, and she also wanted to know what Xiao Shengyun was thinking.

Thinking about it, he also looked at Xiao Shengyun.

Taking Su Lijin's look into his eyes, Xiao Shengyun smiled at Zhao Heng: "General Zhao, don't worry, I have seen your skills before, and I know that General Zhao is very skilled and hard to match."

"And the imperial army is an important force to defend the imperial city. Both martial arts and resourcefulness need to be top-notch. This is what I value. I am not a narrow-minded person. I select talents on their merits. As long as they are talented, it doesn't matter if they are promoted a few levels? "

These words made Zhao Heng's eyes light up surprisingly, there was even a tinge of red in the corners of his eyes, obviously touched, he fell to his knees with a "plop".

"General Zhao, please stand up. From now on, leading the forbidden army will be your reward to the emperor."

Su Lijin smiled and raised her hand to make Zhao Heng stand up, and looked at Xiao Shengyun seriously.

"What the queen said is that General Zhao can rest assured." Xiao Shengyun and Su Lijin looked at each other, their thin lips slightly hooked.

Zhao Heng quickly glanced at Su Lijin, knowing that Su Lijin intended to let him into the palace, he quickly turned his eyes away, kneeled down solemnly, and said: "Zhao Heng will definitely live up to the emperor's grace."

Afterwards, Zhao Heng left the barracks with Su Lijin and the others.

The emperor promoted Zhao Heng's rank on the spot, and the news spread throughout the military camp.

For a while, Zhao Heng became the talk of the crowd.

"Hmph, that Zhao Heng, who is obviously ranked at the bottom of the generals, why should he be promoted several times to be the commander of the imperial army?"

In the barracks, someone snorted coldly with a look of jealousy.

"That's right, if he stays in the barracks for a few more years, he'll be promoted to lieutenant general at most, and now he's going straight to the palace, and he's on the rise!"

Many people gathered around and discussed.

"I see, he must have used some tricks that won't make it to the stage. I heard that the concubine Shu mentioned that he should go to the palace to protect him. Tsk tsk, I really can't see it, this Zhao Heng is secretly like this people!"

Hearing this, everyone showed ambiguous and contemptuous expressions on their faces.

Such remarks spread in the military camp. For a while, those who were jealous and those who didn't know were talking about Zhao Heng's tricks.

On the other side, in the Forbidden Army, facing Zhao Heng, the commander who turned out to be out of nowhere, everyone was not convinced and did not listen to his command at all.

"When practicing, you need to correct your posture and raise your hands a little higher, so that you can have the strength to strike the sword."

Zhao Heng saw that the people in the imperial army were sluggish, and even their movements were very weak on the training ground, so he couldn't help but frown and give pointers himself.

The imperial soldier secretly rolled his eyes, avoiding his hand deliberately, and snorted coldly: "This is taught by our former commander, General Zhao should not talk nonsense, it is impossible, Commander Zhao thinks we are serious and competent Didn’t you understand the former commander?”

As soon as these words came out, the other soldiers immediately laughed, and they all looked at Zhao Heng with contempt.

They all knew that Zhao Heng was not well-known, and once he received the grace of Xiao Shengyun, he was promoted several levels to be their commander of the imperial army, and they looked down on Zhao Heng in the first place.

At the same time, rumors about Zhao Heng's shady tricks spread to their ears, and they even sneered at Zhao Heng. How could they listen to him?
